There were not many words in the letter, but Junior Leopard's heart was beating fast. "Chaotic Star Stone, Sea Soul Gall, Wind Bead!"
These words made Junior Leopard's heart beat fast, because these three things were the materials to refine Air-frozen Bead.
He only had one refining method of Air-frozen Bead. Because the position of Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket had been vacant for a long time, the Immortal Palace did not have the materials to refine Air-frozen Bead. He also mentioned this to Green Spirit, but his tone changed when he heard the words Air-frozen Bead. He did not expect that Air-frozen Bead was not a celestial device, but a fairy weapon, a Taihao Fairy Weapon.
But later, after careful examination, he realized that the Air-frozen Bead mentioned by Green Spirit was not the same as the one he knew, because their materials were not exactly the same. When he told Green Spirit about the materials and refining method of Air-frozen Bead he got from the Immortal Palace, Green Spirit thought for a while and told him that the Immortal Palace also gave him an Air-frozen Bead, but they replaced some of the most important materials with something that was not so difficult to find, and then simplified the refining method, so it became a simplified Taihao Fairy Weapon. Even if it was successfully refined, its effect would be greatly reduced. But no matter how much it was reduced, it was still a Pure Yang Celestial Device, even more powerful than an ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device. After all, it was an imitation of a fairy weapon, so some of its mysteries could not be compared with a pure Pure Yang Celestial Device.
But because of this, he gave up the idea of refining an authentic Air-frozen Bead, because the most important material to refine an authentic Air-frozen Bead was called Gantian Nine Elements Bead, which was rare even in antiquity times, and even harder to find in the present world. The materials given by the Immortal Palace were replaced by Wind Beads. In Green Spirit's words, Wind Beads were the condensation of the wind essence between heaven and earth, which was also a rare magical object. In the present world, Wind Beads and Gantian Nine Elements Beads had not appeared for tens of thousands of years.
But unexpectedly, there were three words "Wind Bead" in Prince Xiaoming's letter.
"It seems that this Prince Xiaoming is also a member of the Immortal Palace. I wonder which one of the 28 constellations she is!?" Junior Leopard thought to himself. His hand shook slightly and the letter in his hand shattered into pieces. The smile on his face became gentle. "So Brother Cao is a friend of Prince Xiaoming. You should have said so earlier. Oh right, which bastard has the guts to find trouble with Brother Cao? You might as well tell me, and I'll peel off his skin and use it as a bedding for Brother Cao!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Cao Xuetang said hurriedly with an embarrassed look on his face. "I was plotted against, but I'm not sure who did it. As for this matter, I, ahem, ahem, ahem, I'll, get back at him!"
"Brother Cao, if you need my help, just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't say no!" Junior Leopard patted his chest as a guarantee.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
"Brother Cao, you don't have to be so formal. What do you mean by 'Lord'? I'm just a small landlord in a poor place. If Brother Cao doesn't mind, just call me Junior Leopard!" Junior Leopard laughed and suddenly became serious. "By the way, Brother Cao, you're so badly injured. How can you live here? Although it's said that birds don't shit here and turtles don't lay eggs here, there's plenty of room for you to live in. Why don't you move to my place? We can take care of each other!"
"This …!" Hearing this, Cao Zhi could not help but ponder. He was a Venerable of the Sect of Flame. Although he was not rich, he had not suffered much. This time, he wanted to cooperate with Junior Leopard, but he did not expect that he would fail and almost get himself into trouble. It was really shameful. Now that he had to move to Junior Leopard's place, he felt a little embarrassed. However, he was really not used to living in this small shabby house. Now that Junior Leopard mentioned it, he could not help but hesitate. Finally, he nodded and said, "If so, I'm sorry to bother you!"
… …
… …
The fire in the charcoal basin in the room was burning brightly, making the whole room warm. The cold north wind blowing outside the door did not bring the slightest bit of chill to the room.
Inside the house, Cao Xuetang had already changed into clean clothes and bandaged his wounds. He looked much better than before.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou not only has a profound cultivation, but also has amazing medical skills!" Although he still felt that his Qi and blood were weak, the strange poison in his body had already been removed. Thinking of Junior Leopard's neat and tidy method of removing poison, Cao Xuetang became more and more amazed.
"Bullsh * t medical skills. I was just lucky a few years ago and got a treasure that can remove poison!" Junior Leopard said with a smile. There were many treasures that could remove poison in the world, and the Poison-absorbing Green Bead was not the only one. Junior Leopard just mentioned it briefly and then changed the topic. "Brother Cao, you made this matter too mysterious and complicated. If you had given me the letter earlier, there wouldn't have been such a big mistake!"
"Alas, yes, I was too cautious. I really didn't expect that Brother Zhou and the Great Venerable Prince Xiaoming were friends!" Cao Xuetang said with a wry smile.
In a few words, the ins and outs of the whole matter were clear.
In this world, where there were people, there were fights. The imperial court, the well-known families, and the Sect of Flame also had fights. Cao Xuetang used to be a Venerable with real power in the Sect of Flame. However, in recent years, another force of the Sect of Flame rose, and Cao Xuetang gradually lost his power. He became a Venerable with an empty title but no real power, just like those idle Elders in the aristocratic families. Although Cao Xuetang was a Venerable, his cultivation was only at Level Seven, and his strength was not prominent among the Venerables of the Sect of Flame. It was okay when he had real power in the past, but without it, he could only be used as a combat force. When something happened, he would inevitably be exhausted and used as a weapon. He was a person who valued fame and fortune, so he was naturally unwilling to accept such a situation. However, although he was unwilling, he was also somewhat helpless. His side had lost power, and his strength was only at Level Seven, so he did not have much power to fight with those with real power. Unexpectedly, there was always a way out. He accidentally got the news of the kindling of Nanming Ignis, so he thought about taking the kindling of Nanming Ignis to improve his cultivation and then go back to the Sect of Flame to seize real power.
People in Jianghu naturally knew the pros and cons of Jianghu. This kind of thing must not be told to outsiders. Not only that, but also he had to be cautious. However, when he found out the specific location of the kindling of Nanming Ignis, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because it was Zhou Bao's territory.
After the destruction of Northern Yuan, the imperial court of the Great Jin had distributed numerous titles of nobility and fiefs. The map of Northern Yuan's enfeoffment had also been circulated. However, because there were too many people, only a few could really be remembered. Except for the fiefs of several big schools and powerful families, only some famous, powerful and meritorious fiefs could be remembered. Unfortunately, Junior Leopard was one of them.
Seeing that the location was Junior Leopard's territory, Cao Xuetang knew that he was in trouble. If it was in other places, he wouldn't care even if it was those millennium families, because there were no strong people there. However, it was different in Junior Leopard's territory. Everyone in the world knew that Zhou Bao was now in his fief. If he wanted to take the kindling of Nanming Ignis, he would have to make a lot of noise, which could not be hidden from Zhou Bao. Therefore, after thinking about it, he thought about whether he could cooperate with Junior Leopard.
Because Junior Leopard also practiced the Fire Way Cultivation Method, the kindling of Nanming Ignis was also of great use to him. However, he and Zhou Bao did not know each other. One was a traitor of the imperial court, and the other was a viscount and lord newly conferred by the imperial court. They had nothing to do with each other. Theoretically, they were enemies. How could it be easy to cooperate with them?
Besides, he was not sure whether the kindling was still in Junior Leopard's territory. Therefore, he came up with a plan. He sent his son and his most capable assistant, Cao Zhi, to explore the way first.
Anyway, there were too many people in the north who did the human trafficking business. Therefore, Cao Zhi and his son sneaked into Junior Leopard's territory under the pretext of human trafficking.
Cao Zhi thought that he did this secretly, but he did not expect that someone had been watching him. In the Sect of Flame, his enemy was not an ordinary person. When he found that he was acting strangely, he secretly ordered someone to watch him. At first, his enemy did not know what his intention was, so he just hid in the dark and secretly investigated. When he found that Cao Zhi and his son were in Junior Leopard's territory, he felt more suspicious and secretly watched them more closely.
On Junior Leopard's side, firstly, he did not have enough manpower. Secondly, he did not ask much, so he did not notice it. Even if he noticed it, he would not care about it. Anyway, it was none of his business. As a result, Cao Zhi's side lost the upper hand.
Cao Shun, Cao Xuetang's son, was young and not capable of doing big things. Cao Xuetang had no choice but to send his son and Cao Zhi here because he didn't have many trustworthy people. However, Cao Shun was nervous and liked to nag. When he was free, he would chat with Cao Zhi. As they chatted, the matter was revealed. Just like that day when Cao Shun made a slip of the tongue in front of Junior Leopard, the news was leaked.
Originally, Cao Xuetang had no room to turn over this matter. He did not even know that his son had leaked the news here. Unexpectedly, Prince Xiaoming suddenly came to him one day and gave him a letter, asking him to talk to Junior Leopard directly. Not until then did he know that his father was indebted to this Great Venerable in the Sect. Prince Xiaoming came to repay the favor and pointed out a clear way for him. Cao Xuetang could not help but feel happy and surprised. At this time, he received a letter from Cao Shun, saying that the place was indeed in Junior Leopard's territory.
What happened next was much simpler. He packed up his luggage and hurried to Junior Leopard's place with his wife. However, he was intercepted on the way. Although he killed the attacker, he was also seriously injured. He forced himself to come here. If Junior Leopard had not detoxified the poison in his body, he would probably be at his last breath now.
"This matter is really complicated. Prince Xiaoming is really something. Why didn't he reveal this layer of relationship earlier? Why did he pretend to be so mysterious? He only appeared at this time to show that he is capable!" Junior Leopard said, but his tone had a few traces of complaint. "What's the matter with Prince Xiaoming?
However, Cao Xuetang did not dare to complain here. He hurriedly said, "You can't blame it on the Great Venerable. It's a secret. I've been keeping it a secret. I didn't expect that it would leak out and cause such a big trouble!"
"Trouble? Not really! " Junior Leopard said, "Brother, don't worry. I dare not guarantee other places, but there won't be any trouble in my place. You can rest assured and recuperate here. When you recover, I'll go with you to find the kindling of Nanming Ignis!"
"If so, I'm really bothering you!"
"Not at all. It's a win-win situation!" Junior Leopard said with a smile.
After Junior Leopard left, Madam Cao looked at Cao Xuetang worriedly, "Xuetang, look, Zhou Bao …!"
Cao Xuetang waved his hand and said, "This is the only way. I trust the Great Venerable Ming!"
Madam Cao nodded and said no more.
… …
… …
Junior Leopard came out of the house after settling the people of the Cao Family. He could not help but smile.
The identity of the Venerable of the Sect of Flame was not too important in Junior Leopard's eyes. However, if he was in Jianghu, he could shake the whole place with a stamp of his foot.
The Sect of Flame was so powerful in the south that even the imperial court had to be a little afraid of it. Although Cao Xuetang had temporarily lost his power, if he really obtained the kindling of Nanming Ignis this time, his cultivation would be greatly improved. Coupled with the secret support of Prince Xiaoming, it would be hard for him not to rise to the throne.
Now that he was in trouble, it was just a piece of cake for Junior Leopard to help him. It would be good for Junior Leopard to do such a big favor for him.
He knew where his weakest point was. His foundation was too shallow. It was said that he came from the Wu Family and was a disciple of the Wu Family. However, he didn't believe it. If he didn't have such a strong individual strength, the Wu Family wouldn't treat him like a green onion. Just look at Wu Yulong's attitude in front of him. Even if he was a Level Seven expert, he was afraid that in the eyes of some lineal descendants of the Wu Family and those big sects, he was just a slightly stronger servant.
Otherwise, Wu Yulong wouldn't have brought Lin Xiaoqing here to make trouble for him.
It seemed that he had no choice but to join the Immortal Palace. But secretly, he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Immortal Palace to increase his security and make friends with more experts. However, this kind of thing could not be done overnight.
As a civil servant in his previous life, he knew very well that the relationship between people needed to be managed. No matter how close the relationship was, it could not be maintained if it was not managed carefully.
Everything was based on the word "management"!
Now Junior Leopard could be considered a famous figure in Jianghu. In the open, with Tian Long Taoism's Wang She, ordinary people did not dare to provoke him. However, he knew that Wang She had enough troubles on his own. In addition, he was the Chief of Tian Long Taoism. Junior Leopard was too embarrassed to look for him for ordinary small matters. As for the other famous experts in Jianghu, Junior Leopard did not know many of them, nor did he have the intention to get in touch with them for no reason. However, he had seen Prince Xiaoming of the Sect of Flame once. This woman's relationship with Wang She was somewhat unclear. Now that he had confirmed that she was a member of the Immortal Palace, Junior Leopard began to think about it.
Maintaining a good relationship with Prince Xiaoming was beneficial to him. The Sect of Flame was the biggest influence in the South. Even the imperial court could not do anything to it. If Cao Xuetang went back and took real power, then he would have one more layer of relationship, and many things that were difficult to do would become easier. Take Anyuan Store as an example. Its business was not big now, but if it became big in the future, if it encountered any trouble in the South, it would not need to alarm Prince Xiaoming at all. As long as Cao Xuetang said something, the big trouble would be solved. That was why Junior Leopard became so enthusiastic.
"I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time. Why does it feel more and more like my previous life? It's so boring, so fucking boring!" Junior Leopard shook his head and laughed at himself in his heart. "After all, I'm just a vulgar man!"
Junior Leopard soon forgot about the vulgar man. Since Cao Xuetang had settled down in his territory, he would not let anything happen to him in his territory. Although Cao Xuetang said that he had killed the people who intercepted him, since they were sent by the enemy and knew Junior Leopard's purpose, they would not let Cao Xuetang get away with it so easily. They would definitely send more people, and their cultivation would not be weak. Even if they were meticulous, they would send a large number of experts here. It was the kindling of Nanming Ignis!
Even if it was in the hands of ordinary people, it would be a great thing, not to mention those guys in the Sect of Flame who practiced the Ignis Mysterious Skill.
Maybe there were already a large number of experts on the way, and they would come to his territory to make trouble in a few days.
However, in his territory, no matter how many people came, he was not afraid.
Junior Leopard had already asked about the location of the kindling of Nanming Ignis. He did not go to explore it himself, but he could not guarantee that others would not secretly spy on it. So he set up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation there.
"Yin and Yang Dust Formation, hehe, I didn't expect there to be so many ways in it!" Junior Leopard thought of Green Spirit's shocked expression when he learned that Junior Leopard knew about the Yin and Yang Dust Formation when he communicated with him these days.
The formation was not invented by the necromancers. It had been passed down from the Archean Age. However, it was the necromancers who had truly developed and developed the formation.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation was one of the greatest masterpieces of necromancers.
Junior Leopard only knew a little about it. Although Green Spirit was a Great Ancient Demon, he did not know much. However, in Green Spirit's words, what they knew now was enough.
It was more than enough to deal with the ordinary experts who had not entered the Mysterious Realm and obtained the Individual Immortal Karma Rank. No matter how many people came, they would be killed!
He was not a ruthless person, but as long as it involved his own interests, he would not hesitate in the slightest.
This was his territory. Everything on the ground belonged to him. He could do whatever he wanted. Even if he set up a killing formation in his own territory, others could not say anything. In the past few days, he not only chatted with Cao Xuetang, but also paid attention to the Yin and Yang Dust Formation from time to time. He not only set up a killing formation there, but also took out Green Spirit and put him in the formation.
Green Spirit absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon these days and made some progress. Although he did not have much strength and could not give full play to the power of the green lamp, a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it was a piece of cake for him to operate the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Now, several groups of people had been killed in the formation, including many experts at Level Five or Level Six and two experts at Level Seven.
"These bastards, do you really think this is your vegetable garden? You can come and go as you please. I don't think you can leave!"
Junior Leopard came to the top of the hill and walked into the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Looking at the groups of people who had fainted on the ground, he scolded them bitterly.
"They are just a group of idiots. There is no need to be angry with them!" Green Spirit's voice sounded faintly. The cyan mist in the formation formed a world of its own. It seemed vast and boundless, but there was no way out. If people were trapped in it and did not understand the mystery, even if they had reached Level Seven, Level Eight, or even Level Nine, they would be trapped in it to death.
Green Spirit's body was originally in the shape of cyan mist. Now it was speaking in the formation. Although Junior Leopard knew who it was, he still felt a chill down his spine.
"Why did you follow me out? If someone sees —!"
"They can't see me. In the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, what they see is what I want them to see. If I don't want them to see me, they can't see me at all!"
"Well, well, don't talk so much nonsense. How about the things I asked you to investigate these days?"
"There is indeed a fire seed of the Nan Ming Li Fire here!" Green Spirit said. Junior Leopard put him in the formation for two reasons. One was to preside over the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, and the other was to explore the kindling of the Nanming Ignis.
"Cao Xuetang is right. The kindling of the Nan Ming Li Fire was brought here by a meteorite from outer space. I don't know how many years it has been since it fell on the prairie. This valley is probably left by that meteorite. The deepest part of the valley is where the kindling is, but it is already a bottomless pool. I think the meteorite was so heavy that it smashed a deep pit. After years of water accumulation, it has been at least seven or eight thousand years. If you want to find the kindling of the Ignis Ignis, you have the Demonic Fire of the Primitive Dragon Chimera and the Tusita Fire. What you practice is not the Ignis Mysterious Skill, so the Nan Ming Li Fire is just the lowest kind of Ignis. It is not worth spending so much effort. If you have the time, you might as well refine more acupoints and comprehend the Yin and Yang Dust Formation!"
"I've been entrusted by others, so I have to be loyal to them. Since I've promised them, I naturally have to help them!" Junior Leopard said with a smile, "Besides, according to Cao Xuetang's tone, there might be other benefits besides the kindling of the Nan Ming Li Fire. This is also the reason why he wanted to cooperate with me. Obviously, he is not sure what else there is besides the kindling of the Nan Ming Li Fire. In addition, I agreed to help him after reading Prince Xiaoming's letter, so he became tight-lipped!"
"Other benefits?" Green Spirit was a little surprised. "What other benefits can there be? You have to be careful not to be cheated by him!"
"He doesn't have the guts. He just doesn't say it because he is not sure. I'll see when the time comes. If there are really benefits, I will have a share!" Junior Leopard said with a smile.
