The so-called Ancient Treasure!
As the name suggested!
It was a magic weapon from ancient times!
Ancient times referred to the past, but it was different from his previous life. This world had a clear division for the ancients. The period 100,000 years ago was called the antiquity times, 100,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago was called the medieval times, 10,000 years ago to 1,000 years ago was called the modern times, and as for the period from 1,000 years ago to the present, God knew that in this world where experts ran amuck, there might still be people from 1,000 years ago alive. How could it be called the ancient times?
In this world, the Ancient Treasure referred to the magic weapons from the Antiquity Age!
The Antiquity Age, 100,000 years ago, was a completely different world from the present. At that time, the essence of the world was extremely abundant, and there were treasures of heaven and earth everywhere. Now, these Mysterious Objects, which were rarely seen in hundreds of years, were just ordinary playthings at that time. You could casually kick them out, and they might be the Black Iron Gold Essence, which was hard to find nowadays, or even the Taiyi Gold Essence. If a Level One warrior accidentally fell into a river and came ashore, he might become a Level Four expert. At that time, the river water could not only help you increase your cultivation, but also help you cleanse your body and strengthen your body, which was much better than the current decoction.
This was the Antiquity Age, when experts were as numerous as the hairs on an ox, Mysterious Enlightenment was everywhere, and experts of higher levels were as numerous as dogs. In the present world, it was also a crazy time, and it gave rise to endless delusions. It was not rare to reach the Expert Realm at the age of five, and the Mysterious Enlightenment at the age of 10.
However, compared to personal cultivation, what could make people have all kinds of delusions was another thing, the Magic Weapon.
In ancient times, experts were as numerous as the hairs on a cow. Mystic Enlightenment Realm cultivators could be found everywhere, and even Grand Cultivators of higher realms could be found in a handful. However, when it came to a real battle, the most decisive factor was still the magical weapon.
The so-called magic treasure was a treasure that was created by combining the Heaven and Earth Oddities and various kinds of Baleful Qi and Yuan Qi. Thus, it was a treasure with miraculous effects. In ancient times, a guy who was not even a Grade 1 could easily defeat a Profound Opening expert with a heaven-defying magic treasure. This was not a joke, this was a fact. This was the power of an ancient magic treasure.
In the Antiquity Age, the materials that could be called a Magic Weapon were all the most powerful Mysterious Objects in the world. Many of them existed since the beginning of the world. They themselves contained some Laws of Heaven and Earth, and had the effect of going against the heavens. For example, there was a Magic Weapon called the Banana Fan. The banana used was the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth. It was born at the beginning of the world. Since the beginning of the world, a trace of the essence of the wind was condensed in it. After countless years of accumulation, it finally formed the Divine Samadhi Wind. For an item like this, there was no need to refine it. As long as you could hold it and wave it, a gust of wind would roll in. If your cultivation was not bad and you could activate the Divine Samadhi Wind, then, congratulations. Even if it was just a trace of the Divine Samadhi Wind, it would be enough to cause sand and stones to fly, earth-shattering, and everything in front of you would be flattened. Not to mention the expert standing in front of you, a Mysterious Enlightenment Realm expert, even if there was a mountain in front of you, it would be flattened. How powerful would such an item be after it was refined into a Magic Weapon?
Although such a heaven-defying thing was rare in antiquity times, it was much more than the current Mysterious Objects. After being plundered by the practitioners in antiquity times, there were many of them that were refined into Magic Weapons. How could ordinary people withstand such a Magic Weapon? Even if one really reached the Mysterious Realm, he could only run as far as he could in the face of such a thing!
However, although there were many such heaven-defying materials in antiquity times, no matter how many there were, they could not withstand the crazy plundering of the practitioners in antiquity times. Over time, there were fewer and fewer of them. In the end, they were almost extinct, but they became famous as Ancient Treasures.
At this point, someone else wanted to say something. Since the power of Ancient Treasures was so great, why did the practitioners in antiquity times need to practice? As long as they got a powerful Ancient Treasure, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?
This was purely a statement of strength. But after thinking about it carefully, this statement was absurd. The power of Ancient Treasures was great, but it could not make you immortal!
Immortality was the fundamental purpose of practice. As for strength, it was just an appendage of immortality.
Moreover, the more powerful the Ancient Treasure was, the more difficult it was to exert its power. Without profound cultivation, one could not even pick it up, let alone use it.
Moreover, without cultivation, one could not refine Ancient Treasures. An Ancient Treasure that could not be refined was strong, but it was also a delicious cake in the eyes of others!
An ordinary man was innocent, but it was a crime to harbor evil. This principle had been used since ancient times!
In short, without cultivation, one could not exert the power of Ancient Treasures. Without exerting the power of Ancient Treasures, Ancient Treasures would not only not bring you benefits, but also bring you disasters!
It was such a simple principle.
It was just that the living environment of the ancient ancestors was too good. It was much easier to cultivate than it was now. In a world where the essence of heaven and earth was abundant, even enlightenment and epiphanies, which seemed to be a great opportunity now, were not much different from eating jelly beans back then. As long as one wasn't extremely unlucky, he or she could have an epiphany once or twice a year. This was all caused by the essence of heaven and earth. The thicker the essence of heaven and earth, the longer one could comprehend it, the closer one would be to the laws of heaven and earth. Naturally, there would be more opportunities for epiphanies.
Therefore, even if they didn't have these ancient treasures, the ancient cultivators all had great divine abilities. Every move they made had the power to tear the heavens and split the earth. With a single thought, they could control a huge amount of Heaven and Earth's origin energy. Therefore, the ancient cultivators focused on cultivation and not techniques. They used magic treasures and terrifying power to suppress others.
Special techniques also appeared at that time. In ancient times, there were all kinds of essence and evil spirits. When the ancient cultivators cultivated, they had abundant resources for them to use and experiment with. Therefore, they created all kinds of special techniques. Until now, special techniques were passed down, but evil spirits were hard to find. Therefore, most of the secret manuals of special techniques in this world were actually not much different from waste paper.
This kind of situation started to change 100,000 years ago.
Because, the essence of heaven and earth began to thin.
Cultivators could no longer absorb the essence of heaven and earth unscrupulously like the ancient cultivators. They could not play with the essence of heaven and earth and the evil spirits of heaven and earth.
At the same time, the ancient cultivation methods also began to decline. This was because the cultivation methods that were close to plundering the essence of heaven and earth were no longer suitable for the environment at that time. Although the various kinds of ancient cultivation methods were powerful, they were like Hummer. They ran happily, but they ate oil!
Without enough oil, even if you brought a space shuttle home, it would only be a pile of scrap metal.
Moreover, even if that kind of plundering cultivation method could successfully absorb the essence of heaven and earth, it needed a strong enough body to bear it. In the Middle Ages, the elixirs that could greatly strengthen the body had already been plucked by the ancient cultivators.
Therefore, from the Middle Ages 100,000 years ago, the cultivation methods of the cultivators had changed. In other words, they had to change. Their cultivation methods began to pay more attention to the control of the essence of heaven and earth, the choice of various essence of heaven and earth, and the condensing of one's own body. At the same time, they were also researching other methods to strengthen their bodies. The few elixir prescriptions that Junior Leopard had obtained were researched at that time. At the same time, various kinds of body-forging punching skills were also developed.
At the same time, due to the loss of the essence of heaven and earth, the practitioners in the Middle Ages could no longer be like the practitioners in the Middle Ages. They could not feel the essence of heaven and earth and comprehend the Dharma of Heaven and Earth like the practitioners in the Middle Ages. They could no longer use the techniques that could mobilize the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Therefore, they began to study various kinds of exquisite moves to defeat the enemy. They studied how to use limited power to exert unlimited power. Therefore, various kinds of martial arts mental cultivation methods and various kinds of secret skills appeared.
"In other words, the ancient treasures and special techniques were created by the practitioners in the Middle Ages. As for the secret skills and various kinds of martial arts movements, they were created by the practitioners in the Middle Ages!"
Junior Leopard quietly listened to Wang She's narration. "It's just that it's been too long. Therefore, apart from you people, very few people know about these things!"
"It's useless even if you know!" Wang She smiled bitterly. "At most, these are just anecdotes in Jianghu. How did the special techniques appear? When did the secret skills appear? These things are not very helpful to the practice. If it wasn't for the appearance of the Clear Glass Bottle, I wouldn't be telling you these things!"
"Then, these powerful ancient treasures, have they really not appeared for so many years?! Why would they suddenly appear now? "
"According to legend, these ancient treasures appeared in large quantities at the beginning of the Middle Ages. However, every time one of them appeared, it would cause various influences to fight for it, causing a reign of terror. In the Middle Ages, eight of the ten biggest schools were destroyed because of the ancient treasures. These ancient treasures, after a long period of fighting, were gradually lost. Some really disappeared without a trace. Some were hidden by some smart people and were never shown to others. In the end, not even one appeared for hundreds of years!"
"Then this time, what kind of consequences will the appearance of the ancient treasures cause?!"
"You're meddling too much, little friend. Are you familiar with him? Ma Tianchang is a cunning bastard. Since he dared to show the Clear Glass Jade Bottle, it means that he already has a backup plan. So, you don't need to worry about his affairs! "
"I didn't think about worrying for him. I'm just curious!" Junior Leopard smiled. "An ancient treasure that can take in a person with a cultivation of the Mysterious Realm is indeed enviable!"
"You're not thinking of taking advantage of that guy, are you?!"
"Do you think I have the guts?!"
"Alright, let's stop talking about the ancient treasures!" Wang She waved his hand. From his movements, it was obvious that he still had some strength left. "Did the people from the Immortal Palace come to look for you?!"
"Yes, of course they did. If they didn't, I wouldn't know that the Chief had already sold me out!"
Junior Leopard smiled. In his tone, there was a hint of complaint.
"Don't blame me. For you, the Immortal Palace is a good backer. It's the same for me!" Wang She said.
"Backer?!" Junior Leopard was a little confused. "Do you still need a backer?!"
"Hum hum, I don't really need it. But it's better to have more backers than none!" Wang She said. "Especially you, the Wu Family is really too small. I can't introduce you to the Tian Long Taoism. So, it's better for you and the Immortal Palace to join. It's good for you and the Immortal Palace!"
"Why can't I join the Tian Long Taoism?!" Junior Leopard asked curiously. "I'm a disciple of the Wu Family. The Wu Family is a vassal of the Tian Long Taoism. Even if I join the Tian Long Taoism, the Wu Family won't say anything, right?!"
"You want to join the Tian Long Taoism?!"
"I just said it casually!"
"That's right. With your current cultivation and background, it's easy to join the Tian Long Taoism. However, it's easy to get in but hard to get out. Although the Tian Long Taoism is one of the three big sects of the Jin, there are some things in it that are not as easy as you think. Even for me, if I hadn't reached Level Nine recently, I would also be somewhat restrained in the Tian Long Taoism!"
"Now that you've reached Level Nine, you don't have so many scruples, do you?!"
"Hum!" Wang She sneered and did not answer. "Don't worry too much about my affairs. Now that your cultivation is so high, you're already one of the top figures in the Wu Family. Do you have any plans?!"
"Plans? What plans can I have?! " Junior Leopard smiled. "Anyway, I'm an Elder of the Wu Family now. I don't want to be the Family Head of the Wu Family. That's the only way!"
"That's for the best. Anyway, your strength is right there. As long as you don't provoke others, no one will be blind enough to provoke you. However, if someone really is blind enough to provoke you, you don't have to be polite!"
"What if your disciple dares to provoke me?!" Junior Leopard smiled. "As a teacher, aren't you too incompetent? You accepted him as your disciple, but these few years, you don't even have the chance to meet him, let alone teach him martial arts! "
"You know quite a lot!"
"Don't forget, I'm an Elder of the Wu's and have some status in the Wu's. These things about you are not a secret. Now everyone is saying that you accepted the Second Young Master of the Wu's as a disciple for a political deal. In order to make the Wu's and Tian Long Taoism's relationship closer, you don't want to teach him any profound martial arts!"
"Bullsh * t! Who said I didn't teach him profound martial arts? I've already taught him the entire Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and pointed out many key points. I also taught him the essence of 81 moves of Wild Hammering Skill. If he can't practice it himself, who can he blame?"
"Even so, others don't know the truth. It's not that hard to understand some of their suspicions!"
"I don't care so much about him. That trash, he used so many elixirs to purify his body. I also taught him so many essences of martial arts, but his cultivation is still at Level Three. He hasn't even reached the Advanced Level Three. Do you want me to impart strength to him? Even if I impart strength to him, his body can't take it! "Wang She's face was full of disdain when he mentioned his own disciple.
"Hehe, that's true!" Junior Leopard said, "Let's not talk about these useless things. You said you have something for me to do. What is it?"
"About Immortal Palace. You know my injury. I need a long time to recuperate. Last time when I left, I didn't tell you in time. But since you've been in contact with Immortal Palace, it saves me a lot of trouble. During this period of time when I recuperate, my position in Immortal Palace will be officially taken over by you!" As he spoke, he took out a black iron ring from his body. This ring was similar to the one on Golden Rooster's hand. The only difference was that on Golden Rooster's ring was a rooster spreading its wings and ready to fly. The one Wang She gave Junior Leopard was a coiled body, waiting for an opportunity to bite!
"Hehe, the token of Immortal Palace. You really think highly of me!"
Junior Leopard smiled and took it. He didn't put it in his hand, but directly put it in his sleeve. "I don't need to worry about this. You're seriously injured. Rest early. Otherwise, if we send a dead man to Tian Long Taoism, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"
"You …!" Wang She laughed and scolded. He closed his eyes and said no more.
Junior Leopard also retreated quietly. Just as he went out, he saw the two giants of the Wu's waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
"Junior Leopard, how is it?"
"Chief Wang's injury is not light. He's resting now!" Junior Leopard said, "I think it's better to send him back to Tian Long Taoism as soon as possible. His body needs a lot of elixirs to recuperate. There are some things that we don't have. Only a big school like Tian Long Taoism can do it!"
"That's reasonable!" Wu Yansheng nodded. "We'll set off tomorrow. We've already informed Tian Long Taoism. I believe someone will come to pick us up soon. It's better to be safe than sorry!"
"Hmm!" Junior Leopard replied. For a moment, his expression was somewhat solemn.
It was better to be safe than sorry!
The news of Wang She's serious injury and his return from the prairie spread out at the same time. This guy had offended a lot of people in the past. When he was at his peak, no one dared to provoke him. But now, he was seriously injured. It was hard to guarantee that some of his former enemies would have some bad ideas. Those who could become enemies with Wang She and not die were all people who would shake the Jianghu with a stomp of their feet.
If there were one or two people who couldn't think things through and came to find trouble, the Wu's might not be able to handle it. If something really happened to Wang, the Wu's would not be able to bear the responsibility. Hence, it was safer to let the people from Tian Long Taoism come to pick him up.
"By the way, Junior Leopard, what's your plan after this?" Lyu Yiyue asked casually, "Are you still going back to General Li?"
"No, I'll write a resignation letter to General Li. I believe he will understand. Chief Wang has something for me to do, but it's not urgent. I'm going back to Qinlingjun City to pay my respects to my teacher, and then I'll do closed-door training. These days in the prairie, though I've been a bit miserable, I've gained a lot. I need time to digest it!"
Hearing that Junior Leopard was going to do closed-door training, Lyu Yiyue's eyes flashed. "Hehe, no wonder your martial arts improved so fast. In terms of diligence, no one in the Wu's can compare with you!"
"Diligence is the key to success. The way of martial arts is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you'll fall behind. First Elder, don't forget that I have a duel in more than a year. Do you think the Meng Family in Ningzhou is so easy to deal with?"
"The Meng Family is a millennium family with a deep foundation. It's indeed not easy to deal with them. But she's just a little girl. Your cultivation has reached Level Five and your combat capability is even more amazing. In three years, she can't play any tricks!"
"If it were in the past, I'd think so too. But what if the Meng Family has an ancient treasure?" Junior Leopard said, "Ba Siba, who has reached the Mysterious Realm, was defeated by an ancient treasure. I'm just at Level Five. How can I resist?"
"Ancient treasure?"
Lyu Yiyue and Wu Yansheng were speechless. Though the possibility was low, it wasn't impossible. If the little girl of the Meng Family were to fight with an ancient treasure, Junior Leopard would have no place to cry! "
"You have a way to deal with an ancient treasure?"
"If I did, I wouldn't be so distressed. The only thing I can do now is to improve my strength and pray that the Meng Family doesn't have a powerful ancient treasure!" Junior Leopard smiled bitterly. "If they do, I can only act according to the circumstances!"
… …
… …
Yunzhou, Qinlingjun City.
Now it was wartime. However, the great victory in front had taken away the last trace of tension in Qinlingjun City.
The great victory made Qinlingjun City in jubilation. Apart from the jubilation, countless foreigners rushed here from all directions, looking for opportunities.
Defeating Northern Yuan was already a done deal. There was no suspense. Next, it was how to distribute the fruits of victory.
How to deal with the various spoils of war brought back from Northern Yuan by the frontline soldiers? These were all problems. And the ones responsible for solving these problems were the businessmen!
Therefore, in Qinlingjun City, the number of businessmen going from south to north had increased by five or six times compared to before the war. All the inns were full. Even the residences in the city were in high demand.
Every day on the road, you could see the noisy crowd. All kinds of news were flying everywhere. Among these news were business opportunities, military secrets, gossip. Anyway, there were all kinds of news.
Walking on the bustling street, a kind of intimate feeling hit one's face.
"How is it, Junior Leopard? Is the city lively now?" Sitting in the carriage, looking at the crowded crowd, Wu Yansheng said with a smile.
"Too lively!" Junior Leopard said, "It's many times more lively than before!"
The Wu Family's carriage had a very conspicuous sign. In Qinlingjun City, there were few people who didn't recognize the Wu Family's carriage. Therefore, although it was crowded, everyone was very sensible. Seeing it was the Wu Family's carriage, they took the initiative to make way. The carriage was not slow either.
"By the way, Family Head, hasn't my teacher come back yet?"
"Yes, this time the Li Family in Pingzhou really got a treasure. Last time your teacher sent a letter saying that he would not come back until at least three months later. There was also a letter for you. But you haven't come back, so I left it with me. I'll show it to you when I get back!"
"Okay!" Junior Leopard said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Family Head!"
