Inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals, the scenery was picturesque.
A golden dragon scale was suspended in midair, exuding an astonishing amount of dragon energy. It was terrifying and powerful.
However, though this dragon energy was powerful, it was merely emitted by a dragon scale. How could it deter the immortals?
"This young man is lucky. It's just that someone set a trap on it. If he touches it, he will be killed." Liao Cang Qiong smiled. After scanning with his Qi, he found out that there were three inhibition spells placed on the dragon scale.
The Pioneer of Ancient Arrays, Feng Qing Ming, naturally found out as well. After all, he was a grandmaster of arrays. All inhibition spells were useless before him.
"I bet he threw this in because he wants us to help him get rid of the inhibition spells." Feng Qing Ming grinned, guessing Ling Xian's plan.
Liao Cang Qiong nodded softly, "There are three kinds of inhibition spells on it. Though I am not sure of the specifics, I can feel that they are all harmful."
"Don't worry. They are just a few unsightly inhibition spells." Feng Qing Ming brandished his hand. He didn't think much of the inhibition spells on the scale.
If the Mu Clan ancestor heard this, what would he think?
To know that these three inhibition spells were acquired by chance a long time ago. He has never been willing to use them. Today, in order to ambush Ling Xian, he reluctantly took them out and planted them on the dragon scale.
Yet before his eyes, the Immortal of Ancient Arrays called them unsightly. If he heard this, he would puke blood from anger.
"To you, of course they are unsightly." Liao Cang Qiong grinned, "Alright, let's not waste time. Hurry up and break them."
Feng Qing Ming nodded. Then, he summoned his Qi and brushed his sleeve across the dragon's scale. Then, the three evil inhibition spells were broken.
Yes, it was that simple.
Don't forget, he was the Pioneer of Ancient Arrays. Anything related to arrays, to him, was as easy as drinking water or eating.
A mere three restrictions could be easily broken without any effort.
"It is no wonder you are the Pioneer of Ancient Arrays. You sure are impressive." Liao Cang Qiong complimented. He flapped around his sleeve and sent the golden dragon scale out of the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
The inhibition spells had been broken, so it was time for the item to return to its owner.
…
In the room of the inn, a palm-sized dragon scale appeared, releasing a resplendent light.
At this, Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile. He didn't need to use his Divine Soul to know that the restriction on the dragon scale must have been broken. Otherwise, the two Immortals wouldn't have sent it out.
"Mu Clan ancestor, you have suffered a double loss. Not only did you fail to scheme against me, but you also allowed me to acquire a valuable dragon's scale." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. His face was full of mockery.
He then placed the dragon scale into his storage pouch.
Although this item was good, it did not have any practical use for him at the moment. Moreover, apart from the restriction on the dragon's scale, he still had two traps that he had yet to deal with.
Therefore, as Ling Xian placed the dragon scale into his storage pouch, he also took out a black scroll and a red bead.
It was the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl.
These two treasures, along with the dragon's scale, were the most valuable items at the auction. Therefore, the Mu Clan ancestor also tampered with them.
"Playing with poison once wasn't enough. You have to resort to this. How stupid."
Sensing the hidden poison on the two treasures, Ling Xian was ecstatic. He had the Flame of Purity, the nemesis of all poisons. What kind of poison could harm him?
Unless it was the legendary poison that could kill immortals, there was no poison in the world that could threaten him!
Therefore, when he found out that the treasures were also poisons, he naturally smiled.
"Other than poison, the Mu Clan has no other tricks." Ling Xian had a sarcastic look on his face as he inhaled the poison on the two treasures.
Then, the Flame of Purity burned inside his body. As if it had seen a great tonic, it leaped over and consumed all the poison.
Just like that, the traps on the three treasures had all been broken!
One has to admit that to have encountered someone as insane as Ling Xian, the Mu Clan was extremely unlucky.
If this was a normal person, perhaps the trap on the invitation card would've been solved. Why would they need to use the other three traps?
Sadly, the Mu Clan's opponent this time was Ling Xian, a publicly recognized insane person in Yunzhou.
Poison was useless against him and inhibition spells were useless against him. How could the Mu Clan plot against such a monster?
"Three treasures, three traps. I bet after the Mu Clan ancestor finds out that I have taken all of them, he will be smiling happily."
Ling Xian's lips curled into a teasing smile, "I just wonder how interesting your expression will be when I stand before you safe and sound."
It was almost a certainty.
The Mu Clan ancestor was full of confidence and thought that Ling Xian would for sure fall into the traps. Yet before his eyes, all three traps were broken. This meant his hopes were dashed. Why wouldn't the expression on his face be interesting?
Remembering the expression on the Mu Clan ancestor's face, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. He muttered to himself, "I sure look forward to that scene. But right now, let me check out what I gained from this trip."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze towards the fiery red bead. However, he merely glanced at it before putting it into his storage pouch.
The effects of the Fire Taming Bead didn't need much explanation. To Ling Xian, it wasn't very useful. It was only when he was in a situation similar to a sea of fire that the bead's abilities could be unleashed. Normally, it was useless.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't look at it for long. His entire focus was on the black scroll.
The Technique of the Physical Refinement.
In terms of value, it cannot compare to the Dragon's Scale. But in terms of practicality, it was far better than the Dragon's Scale. Especially to Ling Xian, it was a treasure that could solve his desperate situation.
Don't forget, the reason why he came to Yuezhou was to acquire the great fortune. If he wanted to acquire the fortune, then he must enter the Shang Qing Sect and gain the trust of the upper management. Only then would he have the chance to accomplish his goal.
However, the Shang Qing Sect was one of the controlling forces in Yuezhou. It wasn't a place he could enter just because he wanted to. Of course, with Ling Xian's dominating capabilities, he could enter the Shang Qing Sect if he wanted to.
But so what? Other than being an Honorable Guest, there was no other result.
And what was an Honorable Guest? It was a guest. Which master would share their secrets with a guest? In other words, if Ling Xian enters the Shang Qing Sect with his original identity, then not only would he not gain the trust of the upper management, but he would also arouse their suspicion.
Therefore, the only way was to enter the Shang Qing Sect as a disciple. Only then could he gain the trust of the upper management and gain the chance to get in touch with the great fortune.
This was why when Ling Xian found out about the effects of the Technique of the Physical Body, his eyes brightened and he couldn't wait to bid for it.
All because this technique was far too suitable for him. It could allow him to hide himself perfectly and enter the Shang Qing Sect as a new disciple!
