Treasure Yang True Sand
Wondrous Banner to Protect One's Life
As Zhao Houzhou's group of four were outsiders, they had to be on their guard. Liu Yanyi was careful. Out of caution, she did not open the door to the formation, instead leading them to the surface of the Heavenly Lake, intending to lead them in through the main entrance.
Zhao Houzhou gazed over, seeing that this place was covered in mist, fish leaping and birds soaring, and the colour of water filling the sky. He was instantly filled with envy. How could there be such scenery in their cave abode?
She Yutang came up and walked alongside him, saying in a voice that others could not hear, "There is such dense spiritual qi even outside the abode. As expected of a cave abode. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhang has an artifact forging furnace in his abode. If he could forge treasures here, it would be better for him to return to the sect."
Zhao Houzhou nodded lightly. Still, he had not seen Zhang Yan yet, so it was still too early to say such things.
Jin Qiongniang, however, had no such qualms as she said, "Junior apprentice-brother Yan, how do you think the Flying Star Stone in my Anatta Temple compares to this place?"
Yan Zhongjie was the latest to enter the sect, and had never left the sect since he had started cultivating. This time, he had come out to temper himself with Zhao Houzhou and She Yutang. Having always been on good terms with Jin Qiongniang, he immediately blurted out, "The Flying Star Stone is senior apprentice-uncle Li's dao arena. Junior apprentice-brother has only been there once, and did not get a full view of it. However, senior apprentice-uncle Li is the Yuanying Spiritual Master, and Daoist Zhang is a Core Transformation Cultivator. In my opinion, no matter how this Clear Nether Heavenly Lake is compared, it should not be comparable to the Flying Star Stone."
Liu Yanyi, who was leading the way at the front, laughed inwardly when she heard these words. Still, she did not expose him, and her expression did not change much.
Zhao Houzhou, however, frowned, his expression darkening as he shouted, "Shut up! If you have no knowledge, then speak less. Don't you find it embarrassing! "
Yan Zhongjie was startled and didn't know what he had said wrong. She Yutang shook her head and sighed. She first glared at Jin Qiongniang, then pulled his sleeve and whispered something in his ear. Yan Zhongjie's face immediately turned red and he was so embarrassed that he coughed a few times to cover it up.
Liu Yanyi led the four of them to a water boundary that was surrounded by seven pieces of floating stones. She waved her hand and a dark whirlpool appeared below, revealing a water hole of unknown depth. Even with the eyesight of the four people from Huanzhen Temple, they could not see the end of it at a glance.
Jin Qiongniang stretched her head out to take a look, and she couldn't help but let out an "Ah!", yet she was slightly fearful.
Liu Yanyi moved sideways and gestured for them to enter. She smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please."
Zhao Houzhou smiled and put his sleeves behind his back. He took the lead and stepped into the whirlpool of the underwater mansion. His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She Yutang quietly pushed Jin Qiongniang and Yan Zhongjie's back. The two of them let out a low cry and moved forward involuntarily.
They only felt their bodies sink down, and then they were supported by a soft force, slowly sinking down. Although they were in the water, their clothes weren't wet in the slightest. When they looked down again, they discovered that each of their feet was stepping on a Double Winged Golden Carp, and they were carrying them to the depths of the water. They couldn't help but look at them curiously.
After about an hour, the four of them suddenly felt their eyes brighten. They saw a sparkling path in front of them, and at the end was a tall decorated archway with curved eaves, glazed golden tiles, and copper bells hanging high. On both sides was a crystal clear water curtain, coral lake pearls, hawksbill turtles, and colorful shells were everywhere. Among them, there were hundreds of fish beauties swimming and playing, and laughter that sounded like silver bells could be heard from time to time.
The more the four of them walked, the more shocked they became. They didn't think that there would be such a scene in Zhang Yan's cave.
The formation and prohibition of the Clear Serenity Heavenly Lake was originally set up by Gui Congyao using a small pot mirror. It had many profound and profound aspects, and it could be changed according to one's mind. Whether it was extravagant or simple, it all depended on one's thought. Ordinary caves definitely didn't have such a scene, and it looked beautiful and charming.
Although Zhao Houzhou didn't look sideways when he walked, there was a trace of worry in the depths of his eyes. In order to convince Zhang Yan, he was prepared to pay a big price for this trip. But now, it seemed that he might not be able to get what he wanted. His confidence was shaken a little.
She Yutang saw her senior brother's worry and reminded him softly, "Senior brother, we haven't seen Priest Zhang yet, how do you know?"
Zhao Houzhou was shocked. He knew that he was too stubborn and worried about personal gains and losses. If he met Zhang Yan like this, it was inevitable that he would be led by the nose. He was also skilled and immediately came back to his senses. He raised his head and smiled, "Junior sister is right."
After the five of them passed by the decorated archway, they walked past a few layers of bead curtains and entered a large hall. They saw rays of light, auspicious air, and colorful lights. Their eyes were filled with the color of precious jade. Their mouths and noses were clear and the Qi dynamic flowed a little faster. The scenery here was not enough to be described in words.
Zhao Houzhou praised, "Daoist Zhang has found such a celestial place!"
At this moment, he heard a loud laugh. A Daoist in a long sleeved robe without a crown walked out from the back of the hall and said loudly, "I didn't know that four Daoist friends from Huanzhen Temple had come. I didn't go out to welcome you, please take a seat!"
Zhao Houzhou saw that this Daoist had a handsome appearance and an extremely tall stature, very similar to the one in the rumors. He knew that this was Zhang Yan, so he hurriedly swung his horsetail whisk over his arm and cupped his hands, saying, "Are you Daoist Zhang? I am Zhao Houzhou from Huanzhen Temple, I greet you here. "
Behind him, She Yutang, Jin Qiongniang, and Yan Zhongjie also came up to greet him.
Zhang Yan also smiled and returned the greeting, "We are all from the same sect. Daoist friends, you don't have to be so courteous. Please!"
Everyone sat on the jade tables on both sides. There were Yu Ji beauties holding glass plates in their hands. On the plates were pills, vegetables, immortal wine, delicacies, and many strange fruits and herbs that they had never seen before. These Yu Ji, who were wearing palace dresses and ribbons, walked with light steps, like butterflies flying through flowers. They were dazzling and too much for the eyes to take in.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was so extravagant, almost like a Dongtian Zhenren, the four people from Huanzhen Temple were stunned and speechless.
In fact, these containers contained many of the old demon Gui Congyao's treasures, and many of them were the treasures that Luo Xiao bought from the celestial market for the apprenticeship banquet, but he spent a lot of spirit shells. Who knew that Zhang Yan suddenly canceled the banquet, so he let Zhao Houzhou and the others take advantage of it today.
But the four of them didn't know that Zhang Yan was also using borrowed flowers to present the Buddha. They thought that the residence was like this normally.
At this moment, even the most confident She Yutang was shaken. She couldn't help but worry and ponder, "The Yue Cang Sect is a profound sect that has existed for thousands of years. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhang is this generous?"
Jin Qiongniang originally had some thoughts and wanted to say a few words. But after sitting down, she couldn't help but be shocked.
She stole a glance at Zhang Yan. Even though she was not convinced, she had to admit that in terms of appearance, this Zhang Yan was much more handsome than her Senior Brother Luo. He also had an air of elegance. The more she compared, the more she felt that this person was better than her Senior Brother in every aspect. For a moment, she was depressed.
After half a day, when Zhang Yan was urging them to drink, he noticed that the four people's expressions were somewhat unnatural, they were also very serious when they spoke, it was difficult for even half a sentence of laughter to be heard. He was slightly surprised, but after pondering for a moment, he understood the reason. He smiled inwardly and thought for a moment, then he called Luo Xiao out to propose a toast.
Although Zhao Houzhou and the others saw that she was a demon cultivator, Zhang Yan's expression was very polite to her. He even called her "Daoist Friend". For a moment, they didn't dare to underestimate her.
Luo Xiao had cultivated for more than two hundred years and had an extraordinary background. She was a smooth person. With her frequently urging them to drink, laughter could be heard from time to time. The four of them felt a lot more relaxed.
Zhang Yan chatted with them for a long time. Seeing that the four of them didn't mention the purpose of their visit, he didn't take the initiative to mention it. Although Huanzhen Temple was ranked last among the ten Xuanmen, it was still a big sect of Dong Hua. It had many disciples and was quite influential in the northwest. There was no harm in making friends with them. If Liu Yanyi went out to look for medicine in the future, he could take care of her.
Zhao Houzhou pondered for a long time before exchanging a glance with She Yutang. In the end, he decided to reveal the reason for his visit. He coughed lightly and waited for Zhang Yan to look at him. Cupping his hands, he said, "Fellow Zhang, I am ashamed to say this. We came here because we heard that fellow Daoist's Dan has reached the first rank and that you have the ability to pull out nine whales. We wanted to ask fellow Daoist to help us refine a magical treasure."
She Yutang immediately smiled and said, "Daoist Friend Zhang, don't worry. We will not let you suffer a loss when we ask you to help us."
She raised her hand and wiped the incense pouch. She took out an incense burner from within and placed it on the table in front of her. She said slowly, "This is the 'Treasure Yang True Sand' that we've gathered. It's harvested from a high-grade fiendish vein in our sect. One grain is equivalent to a bucket of ordinary true sand."
She patted the incense burner again and the Yang Treasure Sand landed on Zhang Yan's table.
Zhang Yan looked down and took a look. Although the incense burner wasn't big, it was more than enough to hold thousands of grains of sand. This was quite a big deal. Even if he had achieved the first grade of Dan, it would be enough for three years.
When She Yutang took out the sand, she looked generous as if it was nothing. However, her heart was full of regret.
This pot of Yang Treasure Sand was left behind by their master after he passed away. It was originally for the four of them to use to refine pills. Just this pot was enough for the four of them to break through their chakras.
Originally, they didn't want to give this item to him. However, after seeing the various scenes in the Bright Nether Lake, they were worried that Zhang Yan's standards were too high and ordinary items wouldn't catch his eyes. Therefore, they could only take out the Yang Treasure Sand.
Zhao Houzhou looked at the incense burner and felt slightly reluctant. If it wasn't for the fact that there was something in the immortal abode that was too important to them and that they could only proceed after refining that magic weapon, he wouldn't have been willing to take out the item left behind by his master.
Zhang Yan didn't touch the sand and only asked with a smile, "I wonder what Fellow Daoists wish to refine?"
Zhao Houzhou let out a sigh of relief. If Zhang Yan was willing to ask, then there was a possibility that he would agree. He straightened his body and said, "This item is called the Life Protection Banner. After refining, it can avoid water, fire, poison, yin thunder, and evil lightning. Once it is used, it can protect a hundred people. We have already prepared everything we need to refine it. The only thing we lack is a person with a profound Dan Qi to watch over the fire."
She Yutang sighed softly, "I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Zhang. The last few times Fellow Daoists came to help us, they all failed because of this obstacle. Therefore, we can only ask Fellow Daoist Zhang to help us. Fellow Daoist Zhang has achieved the first grade of Dan. If you are willing to help, it won't be difficult to refine this treasure."
Zhang Yan's gaze swept across the four of them and he lightly smiled. "Forgive me for asking, but what exactly are Fellow Daoists refining this treasure for?"
