Zhang De was obsessed with the art of blacksmithing, so whenever he heard of an auction, he would attend it to see if there were any useful treasures. However, because of his cultivation, his legs were temporarily crippled, so it was inconvenient for him to go out. Thus, he let his second disciple, Ji Xiaolou, go.
As he listened to Ji Xiaolou's narration, he couldn't help but nod in the beginning, thinking that his disciple did the right thing. However, when he heard that Ji Xiaolou robbed Cao Junfeng and even let him go, Zhang De became anxious.
"Xiaolou! You've caused my death! " Zhang De slapped the handle of the wheelchair and reprimanded, "How many times have I told you not to provoke the Cloudseal Sect? You just won't listen. Don't you know that Ancestor Cao Guang is my greatest enemy? All these years, he has never stopped hunting me! If he knows about this martial body tempering, he will definitely guess that I'm still alive! "
Ji Xiaolou lowered his head. He knew he was wrong. At that time, he wanted to frame the black servant, but he didn't expect to provoke the Cloudseal Sect.
However, he asked in confusion, "Master, what kind of hatred do you have with that Cao Guang of the Cloudseal Sect? He has been hunting you for dozens of years without stopping. What's going on? "
Zhang De sighed and said, "Alright, then Master will tell you. Actually, back then, Master was also a disciple of the Cloudseal Sect. At that time, Cao Guang hadn't entered the Yuanying realm. The head of the Cloudseal Sect was Cao Guang's father, Cao Yuantian.
"When I first entered the Cloudseal Sect, because I was talented and smart, Ancestor Cao Yuantian soon discovered me and took me in as his personal disciple … At that time, he was indeed good to me, and I didn't disappoint him. I only used seven years to cultivate from a mortal to the Foundation Establishment realm … It was really glorious at that time. Everyone thought that I would definitely be the successor of Ancestor Cao Yuantian. Even Ancestor Cao Yuantian wanted to marry his granddaughter to me."
Zhang De smiled and said, "If it wasn't for something that happened later, Master would be a Core Formation realm Ancestor of the Cloudseal Sect now."
Ji Xiao Lou asked: "Then what happened after that?"
Zhang De continued, "After I successfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm, Cao Yuantian made me the assistant of the Sect Master as a form of training. At the same time, I helped him manage his personal treasury … As a descendant of the Cloud Talisman Sect's Cao Family, Cao Yuantian's private treasury was much more abundant than the Cloud Talisman Sect's treasury or the other patriarchs' private treasury. The large amount of materials and magic artifacts inside amazed me."
Ji Xiaolou interrupted: "Then, Master, you are tempted, right?"
Zhang De shook his head and said, "No, I wasn't tempted. Although there were many high-grade Celestial Artifacts and materials inside, I was never tempted because I knew that if I touched the things inside, not only would I lose Cao Yuantian's trust, I wouldn't be able to stay in the Cloud Talisman Sect in the future. It wasn't worth it for those Celestial Artifacts. Just like that, until one day …" Zhang De looked into the distance as if recalling the past. After a while, he said, "Cao Yuantian finally brought me to the last storeroom of his private vault. To my surprise, there was a mountain spring in this storeroom, but the treasure in the storeroom was only a tree!"
"There was a tree in the deepest part of the storeroom? That must not be an ordinary tree! "Ji Xiaolou guessed.
"That's right." Zhang De nodded and said, "That tree is called the Nine World Fruit Tree. Legend has it that eating the Nine World Fruit can allow one to comprehend the nine reincarnations for a short period of time. It has a great effect on mental cultivation and can greatly increase the chances of Yuanying cultivators entering Spirit Severing stage. "
"Entering Spirit Severing stage!" Ji Xiao Lou's eyes widened. In this world, there weren't many great cultivators who had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. To Ji Xiao Lou, the Spirit Severing realm was like a mountain. It was something he couldn't imagine.
At this moment, Ye Kong had been in the cave for a long time. He had secretly placed a golden-winged ant on Ji Xiaolou and followed a strand of its consciousness.
Ye Kong, who had activated the Concealing Talisman and was hiding at the side, listened to Zhang De's narration. The more he listened, the more he felt that he had heard this story before. When he heard Zhang De talk about the Nine Generations Fruit, Ye Kong was basically sure. Zhang De was Zhang Wude's little brother, Zhang Jiude. The little brother that caused the Zhang family to be destroyed and Zhang Wude was unwilling to forgive, Zhang Jiude.
"Master, you were only a Foundation Establishment cultivator at that time. Did you steal the Nine World Fruit? But what was the use of it? "Ji Xiaolou asked in confusion.
"I didn't use it, but someone else can." Zhang Deyi glared and said, "I also happened to meet a Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Corpse Yin Sect. He told me that as long as I steal the 9 Reincarnation fruit for him, he will give me the Lingwu Body Refining Technique and teach me the most advanced mechanics."
Ji Xiaolou said, "Master, you lost out. If you didn't cultivate the Martial Body Tempering Technique, you would be a Core Formation cultivator now."
"Not lost out, I won't regret it." Zhang De shook his head and said, "Although I'm only Foundation Establishment middle stage, I'm not even a Core Formation middle stage opponent! When my legs grow back, I will cultivate the Immortal Golden Body. Haha, even the Yuanying ancestor can't kill me! At that time, I will be able to use the Illusion Transformation Technique and become anyone I want! The world is big, I can do whatever I want! "
Ji Xiaolou asked again, "Master, even if you stole his Nine World Fruit, there is no need for him to chase you for decades. Furthermore, after old Cao died, little Cao continued to kill you."
Zhang De laughed and said, "That's because not only did I steal his fruit, I also cut down his tree! That's why Cao Yuantian couldn't advance to Spirit Severing stage and died when his lifespan was up. That's why Cao Guang hates me so much. "
Ji Xiaolou's eyes widened. Master is indeed powerful. Not only did he steal other people's fruit, he didn't even let go of the tree.
"Hmph!" Zhang De said angrily, "That old thief Cao Yuantian died well! Don't look at how he treated me well on the surface. In fact, he wholeheartedly wanted to support his Cao family's direct descendant and become the head ancestor. How could he let us outsiders have a chance? Also, his granddaughter is a pervert who likes women … and wants me to marry her? Dream on! "
Ye Kong, who was hiding at the side, rolled his eyes and had some thoughts in his mind. I don't know where that Cao Yuantian's personal treasury is. Thinking about how miraculous the Nine World Fruit is, if I can obtain it, it will be very beneficial to me. Although that tree was killed by Zhang De, as long as it has roots, it is hard to say that it can't germinate.
I have Living Soil, so how can I not make use of such a good thing?
"Zhang Jiude, after talking for so long, you still haven't told me what happened to your Zhang family. Are you too embarrassed to say it, or do you not dare to think about it?" Taking off the Concealing Spirit Talisman, Ye Kong appeared out of thin air.
"How did you know!" Zhang De's eyes widened. The shock in his eyes was even greater than when he saw Ye Kong appear out of thin air. He didn't expect that this Qi Condensation cultivator would be able to call out his real name.
"Because Zhang Wude is my first teacher!"
