Chapter 530 Giving the Soul Fish to the Ancestor
After swaying left and right for a few seconds, I still only dared to float to the roof with my camera, find a spot that could capture both of us in the photo, and then start snapping away.
If the host were to style her hair in a high ponytail, wow, the scene, a blend of ancient and modern, poetic and picturesque, would be absolutely breathtaking.
For the next three days, no one went out for a stroll. Even with the mask that Hong Laozu had given them to change their appearance, they still dared not be careless.
Because the mask, besides concealing appearance, cannot hide everyone's cultivation level.
To outsiders, they are still at the Qi Refining stage.
There are magical artifacts in the city that can conceal one's cultivation level, but they are useless because people developed a set of counter-surveillance methods decades ago.
Specifically designed for all magic items that conceal one's breath.
There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below; it's the same everywhere!
These past few days, the city has been in a state of panic, with everyone feeling insecure.
In the East City, you can hardly see anyone at the Qi Refining Realm. This is because, regardless of whether they are Mu Zhen's group or not, as long as you see someone at the Qi Refining Realm, even a beggar will be questioned dozens of times a day by various female cultivators.
Who the hell could stand this?
Besides Wanqi Yunyan and the nine openly recognized experts at the Integration Realm, there were countless women with profound cultivation who wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Besides, some merchants in Dongcheng are making a fortune selling cultivation techniques related to sexual cultivation and dual cultivation.
In order to survive, the elderly would definitely choose to have their bodies drained of nutrients until they die.
Young people don't have such radical ideas; they just want to be a vessel for dual cultivation.
Even Mu Zhen, Xuan Yuan Jinmo, and the other six were within the scope of those people's search.
Going out now would be suicide.
The reason why no one could find the villa arranged by Hong Laozu was because the villa was shrouded in a top-level illusion array.
If the Mahayana Patriarch didn't personally come in to check, he could have fooled everyone without success.
On the fourth day, a special guest arrived in the courtyard.
Old Ancestor Hong led the man to Mu Zhen and the others and introduced him, saying, "This is the weapon refiner you are looking for, Brother Yuan Xiao. You can call him Grandpa Yuan!"
[The Grandmaster Ancestor of the Yuan Family actually looks like this?] Mu Zhen's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly astonished.
His appearance was just as he had guessed: white beard and white hair, and this was the leader...
It's not even as tall as Emperor Tianhuang's waist.
Two words immediately came to mind: dwarf!
Emperor Tianhuang showed no surprise whatsoever. It wasn't like the Eastern Kingdom didn't have people with dwarfism. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Junior Emperor Tianhuang greets Senior!"
Huangfu Zique, equally unsurprised, also bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Yuan!"
Yuan Xiao stroked his beard, glanced at them briefly, and then looked away, his demeanor slightly arrogant: "I heard you want to ask this old man to forge a Dao artifact?"
The six people smiled and nodded.
After observing the expressions of the group, the old man's displeasure vanished in an instant.
Don't be ashamed!
Some regretted bringing the entire clan into this mess with the Wanqi family.
After all, if it were just him taking action, there would still be room for reconciliation between the other younger members of the two families.
When Wanqi left that day, he vowed that he would never let the Yuan family die.
Yuan Xiao could understand the Wanqi family's feelings very well; this was tantamount to cutting off their family's Mahayana Venerable's only path to survival.
Wanqi Yunyan can live for at most two hundred years.
That woman had already taken the Longevity Pill.
Aside from breaking through to the late Mahayana stage, which would extend her lifespan by a thousand years, she had no other options.
Before ascending to immortality, a cultivator can only consume a longevity pill once in their lifetime.
He's been stuck for 1,500 years without breaking through, so will he be able to do it in the remaining 200 years?
Absolutely not; the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to break through.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have a blood feud.
There are ironclad rules within the city that prohibit fighting and brutal combat unless absolutely necessary.
But what if they leave the city or enter some secret realm? The Wanqi family will definitely cause trouble for the Yuan family.
The most terrifying thing was that when Wanqi Yunyan knew she was going to die, she went and massacred the Yuan family members.
Even if he wanted to save someone, he was too far away to do so.
Leaving such a huge hidden danger resulted in saving a few arrogant and ignorant children.
Don't just throw together a bunch of unknown, but self-important, junk materials and pass them off as treasures.
He'd seen plenty of people like that.
"To refine a damaged imperial weapon into a Dao artifact, ordinary high-grade materials cannot meet that standard."
Including the main branch on the mainland and the branch in the Demon City, the Yuan family has only ever forged three Dao artifacts in its entire history. The Yuan family has no shortage of master craftsmen, but it lacks materials.
Do they know what's needed to forge Dao artifacts?
Countless materials of semi-divine quality.
Because in a sense, Dao artifacts should not belong to the spirit realm, but rather to the immortal realm.
This can be seen from the fact that when a Dao artifact is born, it will provoke the wrath of heaven and earth, and bring down nineteen more lightning tribulations than when a cultivator ascends to immortality.
It's easy to imagine how many semi-immortal-grade materials would be needed to forcibly create something from the celestial realm.
Even Yuan Xiao, who had been collecting for over three thousand years, still hadn't managed to gather even half of it.
Therefore, he never managed to forge a single Dao artifact in his entire life.
This was also his lifelong regret.
If he can't do it, how can a few immature little kids?
What? The little ones' family elders collected these?
That's ridiculous. That's a Dao artifact. What kind of elder would dare to entrust such a tremendous responsibility to a few children?
That's probably a sign of someone's brain being irritated.
Therefore, the reason I came here today is not to help refine the Dao artifact, but because of Old Man Hong's words, "I guarantee you won't regret it!"
That's right, they've come to collect protection money.
The high-grade medicinal herbs that Aunt Wan brought could only heal the injuries of the disciples in the clan, not to the extent that Elder Hong said, "I will never regret it!"
Mu Zhen presented a storage bag that had been prepared beforehand with a smile: "Grandpa Yuan, let's not talk about weapon forging for now."
If it weren't for your righteous help that day, my friend might have been killed by that old witch from the Wanqi family long ago.
"Grandpa Yuan, we don't have anything good to thank you with, but you must accept these soul fish, otherwise we will feel uneasy."
[Hmph! Such an unpleasant attitude, I'll show you what's what!]
Yuan Xiao: ...
Huh? A soul fish? Is it the soul fish he's thinking of?
He probed the storage bag with his divine sense, slowly took the pouch, and then clenched it tightly in his palm.
His beard, hanging down his chest, trembled wildly as he silently told himself to stay calm.
One must never lose the dignity of an elder in front of a group of children.
But inside, I was already laughing my head off.
The origin of the Soul Fish remains unclear, but its function is widely known.
Some spirit realms are inhabited by spirit fish.
However, even after staying in the Demon City for nearly a thousand years, he only managed to acquire one.
This product only works to its maximum effect and provides lifelong benefits if consumed in a continuous cycle of five servings.
I've heard that even those who die and go to the underworld can become among the most talented ghost cultivators.
It is a true divine object.
The other party actually produced six of them at once! My God, who are these people?
Haha, he can finally boldly deduce those ancient and incomplete cultivation techniques in the clan.
