PS: Today's first update
Lian Niangzi was surprised, "Haven't the heretical cultivators been extinct in Dong Sheng Continent for hundreds of years?"
Thousands of years ago, there were eight sects in Dong Sheng Continent. Apart from today's five major sects, the remaining three were heretical sects. However, two of the sects lost order in their teachings, and the powerful cultivators died of old age one by one. The sects disappeared along with them, and even the mountain was divided by the five major sects.
The remaining cultivators of the two sects went their separate ways, and established dozens of small sects in the continent, struggling at death's door.
。
Because they were afraid of a resurgence, under the deliberate suppression of the five major sects, these cultivators had no choice but to hide in the wilderness, and many even went to other continents.
More than a hundred years ago, the last heretical sect, the Corpse Cult, was destroyed by the joint efforts of Fengxiang sword school and Zhongtai sect. The heretical cultivators almost disappeared from Dong Sheng Continent.
Elder You sneered, "There are always fish that slip through the net."
He wanted to say something, but suddenly heard footsteps, and he shut his mouth.
The steward Daoist came out from the back of the hall, holding a wooden tray in his hand. On it were three talismans enshrouded in spiritual Qi. When he came to the center of the hall, he very naturally placed them on the table, allowing the two to look at them.
Zhang Yan had personally placed a restriction on the three talismans, and others would not be able to take them without some effort. Even if a third grade Yuanying cultivator came personally and forcefully broke through the restriction, he would not be able to break out of the outer immortal city's formation, so he was very assured.
Seeing these three items, Lian Niangzi and Elder You's expressions changed.
However, they also knew the crux of it, so they did not reach out to take it. They only looked at it from half a foot away.
These three treasures were surrounded by spiritual light, and contained a faint aura, as if they were alive. This was because they had already developed spiritual consciousness, so they could resonate with a cultivator's spiritual vigor. However, the resonance was so strong, but it was unexpected, showing that these three items were not ordinary.
Profound weapons were also divided into high and low levels, and usually they were not important to them. However, these three were all high level, and were rare treasures. If they took them back and offered them to the elders of the clan for sacrificial refining. Perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, he might even be able to nurture a True Weapon.
The Deacon Taoist observed their expressions and saw that the two of them were moved. He then picked up a ball of net. He pointed at it and said, "This magic treasure is called the 'Thousand Spirit Life Seeking Star Knot'. It was refined from the silk of a thousand-year-old demon spider. Even Divine Weapons and flying swords couldn't cut through it. If a cultivator fell into it, his soul would be taken away immediately. He's no different from a zombie. "
After he finished speaking, he slightly removed the restriction. In that instant, the two of them seemed to hear the cries of tens of thousands of wronged souls, and their heads became slightly dizzy.
The Deacon Taoist hurriedly suppressed the restriction, but even so, the two of them still felt the cries of the souls lingering in their ears. They couldn't help but exchange a surprised look. This magic treasure had not even been activated, and it was already so powerful. If it was truly refined for one's own use, how powerful would it be?
This magic treasure was taken by Zhang Yan from the hands of Jiuling Sect disciple Yan Huixin. There were dozens of restrictions within, and to truly refine it for one's own use, it would take at least a few years. Even so, he wasn't sure if Jiuling Sect had any methods of tracking it.
In reality, all the magic treasures of the Devil Sect had such hidden dangers, which was why he had never taken them out to use. This time, he could use them to obtain spiritual herbs.
This wasn't a harmful move. There was a huge ocean between the two continents, and even those from the Paradise Sect wouldn't be able to sense it.
The Deacon Taoist then picked up the second magic treasure. This was a shield-shaped magic treasure, and it was half a foot long. On it, there was a ghost face with closed eyes, and it looked eerie and terrifying. As if it had sensed that someone was spying on it, it suddenly opened its eyes and grinned at the three people in the hall.
That strange smile caused Lian Niangzi and Elder You to feel a chill in their hearts.
The Deacon Taoist was already used to it, and his expression was as usual as he said, "This item is known as the 'Smiling Shield', and it's a protective treasure. However, it has a rebellious nature, and it needs to be tamed before it can be used."
Elder You frowned and said, "This treasure is so disobedient. What's the use of me bringing it here?"
The Deacon Taoist smiled and said, "Esteemed guest, please let me finish. This magic treasure has a benefit, and that is that the spiritual consciousness within it can absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Even if it's damaged after a battle, it can still be as good as new within seven days. There's no need for its owner to repair it, and its protective abilities won't be reduced in the slightest."
Lian Niangzi said in surprise, "Oh? That's rare. "
Magic treasures were also easily damaged, especially when encountering powerful magic treasures. When the two clashed, the spiritual light would be worn down, and if the foundation of the magic treasure was accidentally damaged, even if it was refined afterward, it wouldn't be as good as it was in the beginning. Since this magic treasure had such capabilities, those flaws could be tolerated.
Although Elder You no longer belittled it, his evaluation wasn't high either. He snorted and said, "It's a mixed bag of good and bad, but it still has some uses."
The Deacon Taoist smiled and said, "According to my sect master, this magic treasure has another benefit, but this is not something I know."
The two were startled, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the shield. However, that ghostly face was too strange, and they both felt a little uncomfortable, so they didn't look at it any longer and shifted their gazes to the last profound artifact.
This was a deathly white small axe. However, this time, the Deacon Taoist seemed to be deliberately keeping them in suspense, and kept his mouth shut.
The two exchanged glances. Judging from the previous two items, this axe should be extraordinary as well, and it might even be superior to the previous two treasures.
A trace of greed unconsciously appeared in the depths of Elder You's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Lian Niangzi asked, "This Deacon, apart from those few spiritual herbs, can your family exchange this item for anything else?"
These days, the Deacon Taoist had heard such words more than once, and replied with a faint smile, "That's not possible."
Lian Niangzi sighed softly and said, "Then I'll have to come another day."
With that, she turned around and walked out. Elder You's gaze swept over the three profound artifacts, and then he followed her out.
The Deacon Taoist bowed from behind, and said, "Farewell, the two of you."
Not long after the two left, Zhao Ge happened to be heading this way. He unintentionally glanced at their backs, and felt that one of them seemed a little familiar, but in the blink of an eye, they were already far away. He pondered on the spot for a while, and then stepped into the floating pavilion. The Deacon Taoist came up to him and bowed, saying, "Master."
The three profound artifacts hadn't been put away yet, so Zhao Ge immediately saw them and asked, "Did those two just come to look at the magic treasures?"
The Deacon Taoist said, "Yes, those two are knowledgeable, especially that silver-haired Taoist. He could actually tell the origins of the Ghost Sunflower and the Snake Ring Jing in one go."
Zhao Ge said solemnly, "If those two come again next time, report to me quickly."
After Elder You and Lian Niangzi left the floating pavilion, they didn't speak a word. It was only when they were outside the immortal city that Elder You suddenly said, "Lian Niangzi, that magic treasure contained an extremely heavy evil aura. It seems that this person is undoubtedly an evil sect cultivator."
Lian Niangzi was still thinking about how to find the three herbs when they returned, so she said indifferently, "Elder You worries too much. If he really is an evil sect cultivator, why would he need to make such a big fuss? Is he afraid that others won't know his origins?"
Elder You smiled, and said with a rather deep meaning in his words, "Whether this person is an evil sect remnant or not is actually not important. It all depends on what Lian Niangzi thinks."
Lian Niangzi didn't say anything at first, but after flying half a mile away, she suddenly reacted and turned around, saying, "Elder You said …"
Elder You said in a low voice, "Lian Niangzi is exceptionally intelligent, so I'm sure you're also aware that the Earth Hidden Lotus might be easy to find, but even if we can find the Ghost Sunflower and the Snake Ring Jing, it'll probably take several years. Rather than going through so much trouble, it's better to settle things once and for all …"
Although Elder You didn't finish his sentence, Lian Niangzi still understood. Since the other party's magic treasure was so evil, then they'd first put the label of an evil sect cultivator on it and use it as an excuse to forcefully obtain the three treasures.
She shook her head and said, "Taking things by force is never the right path. It's best if we can use spiritual herbs to exchange for them, but if we really can't find them …" She hesitated for a moment, "We'll just have to think of another way."
Seeing that her attitude wasn't too firm, Elder You knew that she was actually still somewhat tempted, so he chuckled and said, "Three months later, during the southwest dragon pillar meeting with Xuan Yue Cult, the Sect Master has selected thirteen Yuanying Enlightened Masters to accompany him. Even Lian Niangzi's two sworn brothers are among them. If we have a handy magic treasure, our chances of survival will be much higher."
Lian Niangzi bit her lip and said, "I'll think about it when I get back."
Elder You didn't try to persuade her anymore and only said, intentionally or unintentionally, "That's fine, but don't look at the fact that no one can obtain these three magic treasures right now. That's only because the news hasn't attracted the attention of the people in the sect yet. Wife, you need to hurry up. Even the two of us have heard of this news, so it's inevitable that others in the sect will also find out."
Lian Niangzi nodded silently.
At this moment, Elder You turned around and glanced at the immortal city entrenched in Inkheart Mountain, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
Although the evil sects had perished, many of their superior cultivation methods were still passed down. This made him suspect that the person in charge of this immortal city, Mount Divine House, was searching for those Yin Flower Spirit Herbs to cultivate some kind of evil sect's cultivation method.
They were even willing to take out high-grade profound artifacts so generously. It could be seen that the value of that cultivation method was even higher than that of a magic treasure. If he could obtain it …
Thinking of this, his heart burned with passion, but he immediately suppressed this thought. This matter wasn't something he could do alone. He needed to plan it slowly and couldn't be rushed.
Mount Divine House's eastern boundary.
A wisp of yellow smoke flew across the sky and landed in the barren mountain range. Zhang Boyan looked at a valley at the foot of the mountain. That place was shrouded in dense dark clouds, and a dusky haze filled the air. It was surrounded by high mountains, steep cliffs, and ravines. It could be said that it never saw the light of day all year round.
He had already searched here for half a month, but there was still no trace of Gui Kui. However, a few days ago, he happened to meet a secluded cultivator in the mountains. After spending half a day in his cave abode, he was told by this person that there was an ancient desolate tomb here that might have what he was looking for.
But when he arrived here, he discovered that the Yin Qi here was condensed. If one's cultivation was slightly weaker, they would be infected and their Dao body would be ruined if they got close.
A look of joy appeared in his eyes. Ordinary cultivators would avoid such an evil place, but for an elder of the Nether Spring Sect like him, it was rare. With a strange howl, his body swayed, and hundreds of demons flew out from behind him. They all landed in the valley and swallowed the Yin Qi in large mouthfuls as if they had obtained some great tonic. The demons that were originally the size of a man grew to about three meters in less than an hour.
The Yin Qi that had accumulated for an unknown number of years had gradually thinned under its desperate absorption, and the situation within the valley was also revealed.
