Soon after, Xing Jue accompanied Yao Xinyan to her residence. It was a garden-like island. There were no magnificent palaces or luxurious buildings on the island. Instead, there were strange flowers and plants everywhere.
White profound stones were carved with various patterns on the courtyard walls. White tiles and red walls were exquisite pavilions. Coupled with the fragrance of flowers that permeated the entire island, it was a typical garden in the sky.
"I didn't expect you to like this kind of style." Strolling around the island and admiring the fresh scenery, Xing Jue was a little surprised and teased her.
"This is the island where my grandfather lived. When I was young, my two sisters and I liked to play on my grandfather's island. At that time, our relationship was very good."
"After my grandfather passed away, we began to train and gradually grew up. However, our relationship became estranged."
"Later, in order to get the approval of my father and the elders of the clan, the sisters who were originally close to each other began to deceive each other. They fought openly and secretly. The intense distance between each other became more and more distant."
"As for me, I've always missed the way we were back then. That's why I moved here because this place holds the most precious memories for me." Yao Xinyan looked at the flowers and plants around her. There was a trace of nostalgia and inexplicable sadness in her eyes.
"Eh …" At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked and brought up Yao Xinyan's sad past.
"I have to say, your grandfather's taste is quite good. He must have been very good to you." Then Xing Jue hurriedly changed the topic, wanting to help Yao Xinyan bring back the sad past.
"Yes, grandfather loved us very much. In fact, when we were children, the elders of the clan advocated for us sisters to be trained."
"But Grandpa said that girls should have a beautiful childhood. Those battles should be left to the older brothers. That's why we lived through that beautiful childhood and have those beautiful memories."
"Furthermore, my grandfather is the most outstanding genius of our Beast Refinement Race in the past thousand years. He was once the strongest expert of our Beast Refinement Race. He is the idol that everyone in our Beast Refinement Race worships."
"Actually, it is all thanks to my grandfather that we are able to possess this floating Immortal City. Back then, my grandfather was still the Clan Chief of our Demon Refinement Clan. At that time, the requirement for selecting the next Clan Chief was to construct a floating Immortal City in the Towering Heaven Domain."
"It's because my father successfully built this floating immortal city that he was able to inherit my grandfather's position," Yao Xinyan said with admiration. As for the internal affairs of the Demon Refinement Clan, she did not hide anything from Xing Jue.
"It seems like your grandfather is really an amazing person."
"However, why would a powerhouse like your grandfather pass away so early?" Xing Jue asked, puzzled.
"I'm not sure either. Back then, my grandfather brought my father and the other uncles out to do something extremely important. However, when they returned, my father and the others only brought back my grandfather's ice-cold corpse."
"As for how my grandfather died, neither my father nor my uncles were willing to tell us," Yao Xinyan said sadly.
"I'm really sorry for bringing up your sad past again." Seeing this, Xing Jue felt a little helpless. He was only curious about how an expert like Yao Xinyan's grandfather died, but he neglected the fact that her grandfather's death was a pain in Yao Xinyan's heart.
"Haha, it's fine. That was ten years ago. I've grown up now. Furthermore, my strength is beyond your imagination, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Come, I'll bring you around my floating island."
Yao Xinyan seemed to feel Xing Jue's worry. She suddenly revealed a sweet smile and brought Xing Jue to visit the other floating island.
During this time, Yao Xinyan also told Xing Jue about the reason why she invited him. It turned out that there was a ruin in the Demon Refinement Clan, and the secret of the Demon Refinement Clan's supreme Treasure Refinement Scripture was hidden in that ruin.
Practically all the upper echelon members of the Demon Refinement Tribe had visited the ruins. However, not a single person was able to decipher the secrets hidden within the ruins.
Just a few days ago, Yao Xinyan's father, the current leader of the Demon Refinement Race, suddenly announced that he was preparing to open this ancient remnant to the public. This time, he had invited many of the continent's top geniuses.
They could observe the ruins at will, as long as someone could find out the secret of the ruins. You will be able to obtain the treasure of the Demon Refinement Race, the Purple-Gold Battle Armor.
The Purple-Gold Battle Armor was a high rank Treasure Artifact. However, it was not something that ordinary high rank Treasure Artifacts could compare to. That was because it had once been a Spirit Artifact.
However, after its artifact spirit had dissipated, its quality had decreased, turning it into a Treasure Artifact. Even so, the Purple-Gold Battle Armor's power far surpassed ordinary high rank Treasure Artifacts. It could be said to be an existence close to a Spirit Artifact.
Yao Xinyan had invited Xing Jue because she wanted Xing Jue to help her obtain the secret of the ruins. Back in the Sacred Pill Clan's Battle Essence Cave, Yao Xinyan had learned that Xing Jue's Spiritual Strength was extremely sharp. That was why she felt that he might be able to sense something that they couldn't.
"Looks like this Purple-Gold Battle Armor really is a treasure. However, can it be that even your Demon Refinement Race is unable to restore this Treasure Artifact to a Spirit Artifact?"
"Also, since your Demon Refinement Race's supreme Artifact Refining Treasure Manual is hidden in the ruins, wouldn't it be bad if this secret were to spread to the ears of outsiders?"
After listening to Yao Xinyan's explanation, Xing Jue was also very impressed by the generous reward. However, Xing Jue also didn't understand why the Demon Refinement Race would choose to reveal the secret of the ruins to the public. This was simply not worth it.
"Actually, the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual has always existed, but it is not complete. It can be said that the secret hidden in the ruins can make my clan's Artifact Refining Treasure Manual even more perfect. At that time, my Demon Refinement Race will be able to refine Spirit Artifacts.
"But if we only obtain a small portion of the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual, it will be useless."
"Furthermore, the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual belongs to my Demon Refinement Race. Aside from my Demon Refinement Race, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for anyone to truly grasp it. If it's not done well, it might even result in a backlash and death." Yao Xinyan wasn't worried in the slightest in response to Xing Jue's question.
After some understanding, Xing Jue was arranged to stay in a pretty good residence. In order to allow Xing Jue to perform better in the ruins, Yao Xinyan even brought several treasures of the Demon Refinement Race. She wanted Xing Jue to have a better understanding of the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual.
Furthermore, in order to allow Xing Jue to read the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual in peace, she even called the only servant on the floating island, an old man called Aber, to serve Xing Jue.
After everything was properly arranged, Yao Xinyan headed to the main island of the floating immortal city. There were many esteemed guests this time, and there was no lack of young masters of various major forces among them.
That was why her father specifically asked her and her sisters to receive those esteemed guests to show the sincerity of the Demon Refinement Race.
However, it was worth mentioning that the patriarch of the Demon Refinement Race had a total of seven sons, four males and three females. The four older brothers managed the territory of the Demon Refinement Race for many years, while Yao Xinyan and her two older sisters were relatively free. Yao Xinyan was the youngest, the seventh.
There were still more than ten days until his birthday of visiting the ruins. Xing Jue was currently in his room, reading the so-called Artifact Refining Treasure Manual that Yao Xinyan had specially prepared for him.
"This girl, she wanted me to come so early so that I could read these things."
"What are all these? My head hurts from reading them, but I don't understand them at all." After reading the Artifact Refining Treasure Manual for an entire day, Xing Jue suddenly collapsed on his bed and grumbled unhappily.
This was because Xing Jue discovered that the so-called Artifact Refining Treasure Manual and Martial Techniques were completely unrelated. Moreover, he knew nothing about them, so he couldn't understand them at all.
"Forget it, I'll go out and get some fresh air."
Suddenly, Xing Jue jumped off the bed and rubbed his slightly swollen head while walking out of the courtyard. He began to enjoy the fragrance of the floating island.
After immersing himself in the fragrance of the flowers, Xing Jue's swollen head did indeed ease up a lot. Afterwards, Xing Jue began to leisurely stroll around the floating island. Because Yao Xinyan had told Xing Jue not to go to other floating islands, nor could he leave this floating island, Xing Jue could only stroll around this floating island.
"Isn't that Aber? What is he doing? "
As Xing Jue strolled around, Xing Jue suddenly came to a slightly shabby house. It was the house where Aber, the only servant of this floating island, lived.
In Aber's house, there was a pond with all kinds of goldfish. Aber was holding something that looked like a mop, dipping it in the water in the pond, and dancing on the stone floor that was covered with black stones.
At first, Xing Jue thought that Aber was practicing calligraphy or painting, but when he got closer, Xing Jue found that it was neither practicing calligraphy nor painting. Instead, it was a mess of patterns. Obviously, Aber was blindly gesticulating.
"Eh, Young Master Xing Jue, why are you here?"
"Do you need anything? If you need anything, you can just use the communication talisman to summon me. There's no need for you to come here personally. "
Aber's strength was only at the Battle-Monarch level, so he didn't sense Xing Jue's approach. It was only when Xing Jue appeared in his line of sight that he suddenly came to his senses and quickly greeted Xing Jue politely.
"Hehe, I'm fine. I'm just bored, so I'm just strolling around. Oh right, Aber, what are you drawing?" Xing Jue asked with a smile.
"Sigh, I don't know how to draw anything. I'm just killing time because I'm bored."
"Young Master Xing Jue, please take a seat. I'll get you some snacks and a cup of tea." Aber replied with some embarrassment. He quickly put down the mop in his hand and walked into the house.
"Killing time?" Seeing this, Xing Jue smiled and sat on the wall of the pond. Since he was bored, Xing Jue once again looked at Aber's abstract work.
"This is!!!" When Xing Jue saw Aber's abstract drawing again, his expression changed drastically.
