The most important thing was … such a big dan bead actually reached the level of supreme level …
"This is the first time I have seen a supreme level dan … So beautiful!"
A Grandmaster Level blacksmith couldn't help but murmur. Before he finished, a dan bead hit his face, "What are you looking at! Look at the beautiful dan bead with a perverted look. It doesn't cost me anything … "
Deng deng deng deng!
Stepping back, the Grandmaster Level blacksmith's heart was about to explode.
[This dan bead … actually has a spirit!]
He hurriedly raised his head, and only now did he notice that it wasn't just this one, the other nine had all developed intelligence as well. They danced about in the air like flying balls, and they slapped and smashed randomly at Mo Yuan and Xu Chong, causing everyone to be thrown off their feet and fall into chaos.
"What the hell is going on?" He was completely confused.
"Hurry up and catch them, otherwise the dan beads will escape!" Xu Chong shouted.
[What an idiot!]
Although the Soul Protection Dan was only level eight, it was definitely a level nine dan bead since it was at the supreme level. Wasn't it normal for such a treasure to have a spirit?
At the moment, Su Yin didn't care about the dan beads flying in the air. Instead, he was concentrating on his dantian, full of confusion and confusion.
"What is this spiritual qi? How did it merge with the spiritual qi for crafting? "
In the instant that the pill flew out, another three surges of spiritual energy appeared in his dantian. He recognized two of them, namely pill forging and weapon forging. The last one carried a unique rhythm that was completely different from the previous two.
"This is … Music Dao Spiritual Qi?" He was enlightened.
When he merged the Bright Moon Cauldron and the Frost Soul Stealing Hook, in order to make the two spiritual weapons resonate with each other, he used the word 'Qin' in the art of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Now that he thought about it, it should be a kind of musician, which could distinguish the frequencies in the world and play all kinds of musical instruments!
It seemed useless, but it was irreplaceable for merging the spiritual qi.
This time, it seemed dangerous, but he had gained three spiritual qi. It was a big gain.
When he got back, he just needed to figure out a way to merge the spiritual qi. His cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and he might even reach the Grandmaster Level!
"Stop messing around!" Su Yin took a breath of relief and looked at the dan beads flying in the air.
Whoosh!
The ten pills flew over and floated quietly in front of Su Yin, looking extremely obedient.
"Elder Xu and the other Grandmaster blacksmiths will be given one for providing the herbs and helping to refine it. Also, Sun Zhao will be given one Spirit Stabilizing Celestial Stone. In addition, one Spirit Stabilizing Celestial Stone will be given as compensation for the loss of the Frostsnow Soul Stealing Hook!"
Su Yin looked over. "Do you have any objections to me giving you three pills?"
"Nothing!"
Xu Chong shook his head repeatedly.
Those were supreme dan beads, and they were so big. Not to mention three, even one dan bead would be worth a fortune!
"Of the two of you, one made a mistake first, and the other raised the Luminous Moon Cauldron by two grades, becoming a perfect grade spirit artifact. Don't even think about medicinal pills!" Su Yin said.
Mo Yuan and Sun Zhao nodded in agreement.
If it was before, Sun Zhao wouldn't have cared if he was captured or killed. However, now that Liu Rufei's lingering spirit had just awakened, how could he bear to leave? That was why his Junior Martial Uncle had saved his life and solved the problem for him. How could he dare to ask for anything else?
As for Mo Yuan, after the Luminous Moon Cauldron leveled up, his fighting prowess and dan -concocting ability would be greatly improved. He really didn't dare to ask for such a big dan bead.
After distributing the herbs, Su Yin made a grabbing motion in the air, and the remaining seven dan beads were put into his storage ring.
These dan beads weren't very useful to him, but … what about those lingering spirits?
Although he didn't know where they went and why they didn't want to see him, these dan beads were very useful to them. If he could keep one more dan bead, he wouldn't give it up.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so lucky next time he wanted to make such a big dan bead.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had kept the dan beads, Xu Chong and the others also kept the remaining three dan beads as well. They looked at the young man before them in awe.
Even though the young man hadn't used the slightest bit of his cultivation from the start to the end, he had displayed frightening abilities that far exceeded their imaginations.
If he really wanted to kill them, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger!
To think that there would be such a powerful Junior Martial Uncle in the Subjugation Immortal Sect … It seemed like they had to inform the Blacksmith Hall as soon as possible so that they wouldn't make any foolish decisions.
Suddenly, Xu Chong recalled something and clasped his fist. "Junior Martial Uncle, do you know about the Sect Leader Assembly that will be held five days from now?"
"Sect Leader Assembly?" Su Yin was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. "Isn't it the Sect Appraisal Assembly? Furthermore, it seems to be held three months from now! "
The Sect Appraisal Assembly was a meeting organized by the Sect Alliance. Many sects would be present, and based on their strength, they would be ranked first, second, and third. The Subjugation Immortal Sect had been ranked first for more than ten thousand years.
It was due to the danger this time that the sect leader and the others had gone to the Jade Sea to seek fortuitous encounters, only to never return. Thus, Xu Chong had to leave the mountain to guard it.
Based on what Elder Wu Yuan had said, the tournament would be held in three months' time. It shouldn't be that long now, but it shouldn't be that short either. Five days later... What did that mean?
"The Sect Leader Assembly isn't a Sect Appraisal Assembly. Instead, it's a meeting where the leaders of the various sects gather to discuss the changes in the Great Yan Prefecture and the Master Teacher Continent. It's usually held once every hundred years, so I'm not too sure what's going on. However, it seems to have something to do with something that happened five days ago!"
Xu Chong said.
"Something happened?" Su Yin was taken aback.
He had just come out from the Forbidden Grounds five days ago.
"Yes! It seems to be … news from the Elder Council. As for the details, I'm only an ordinary blacksmith, so I'm not too sure … "
Xu Chong smiled. "However, the requirements for the Sect Appraisal Assembly are very strict. All sects of Tier-3 and above are required to participate. Since the Subjugation Immortal Sect doesn't have a sect leader at the moment, I believe that Junior Martial Uncle will be there!"
"Er … We'll talk about it when the time comes!" Su Yin shook his head.
He was not the Sect Leader, so this matter did not have much to do with him.
"You're right. We'll take our leave then. I look forward to meeting Junior Martial Uncle in the Alliance …"
Xu Chong clasped his fist and retreated. With a wave of his hand, a flying boat appeared before them. The few of them landed on it and flew into the distance.
Seeing that they had left, Sun Zhao and Mo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. They bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for saving our lives, Junior Martial Uncle!"
"You're welcome," Su Yin waved his hand and said, "I just happened to be there, so I helped you out. Alright, since the conflict between the two of you has been resolved, I won't stay here any longer. Farewell! "
In less than half a day, he had obtained four streams of spiritual energy and seven huge pills. No matter how he looked at it, he had profited.
"Junior Martial Uncle, please wait …"
Sun Zhao suddenly took a step forward.
Su Yin furrowed his brows.
Sun Zhao did not say anything. Instead, he took a deep breath as if he had made a decision. His knees went weak, and he knelt in front of Mo Yuan. "Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Uncle saved Liu Rufei and my life. Now, my life belongs to him. I will never return to the Qingyun Sect. Please forgive me, Senior Martial Brother!"
"This …"
Mo Yuan seemed to have guessed his plan. He smiled bitterly and said, "The Qingyun Sect owes you. You don't owe the Qingyun Sect anything! Since you've made your choice, go ahead and do it. I won't stop you now. Even if I were the Sect Leader, I wouldn't! "
"Thank you, Senior Martial Brother!"
Sun Zhao's eyes were full of gratitude.
Although he had left the sect for a hundred years and was resentful, he knew that Senior Martial Brother had put in so much effort for him. No matter how great the hatred was, it had dissipated long ago. All that was left in his heart was guilt.
Unfortunately … whether it was his cultivation or his life, it was this Junior Martial Uncle who had saved him. Moreover, he had left the sect for too long. He was too ashamed to return.
Sun Zhao heaved a sigh of relief after receiving his Senior Martial Brother's promise. He took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Su Yin. "I, Sun Zhao, hope to join the Immortal Suppression Sect. I hope that Junior Martial Uncle can grant me my wish!"
"This …" Su Yin frowned.
He was not the Sect Leader. What he said did not count!
"Although Junior Martial Uncle is in charge of the Immortal Suppression Sect and no one dares to offend you, Great Salt City is a small place after all. It's shallow water. A dragon like Junior Martial Uncle will leave sooner or later!"
Sun Zhao said, "At that time, there will be no powerhouse guarding the sect. It's inevitable that there will be all kinds of trouble. I'm not very talented and I'm not very strong. However, under Junior Martial Uncle's guidance, I've reached the first level of Legacy. I can stay here and guard the sect for Junior Martial Uncle. I can handle things that are inconvenient for Junior Martial Uncle!"
Su Yin was taken aback.
That made sense.
Without his cultivation, he could have been hiding in the Secluded Immortal Residence. Once his cultivation reaches Zongshi realm and he reaches the Legacy realm or even higher, would he still remain here?
That would be difficult!
He had spent ten years in the forbidden grounds. If he had the chance to leave, how could he allow himself to be trapped in a small residence?
The world was huge. He had to explore it.
He was the only 'expert' in the Immortal Suppression Sect. Once he leaves, he would need someone to keep him in check. Perhaps, it would be a good thing for him if Sun Zhao were to join him.
"Alright!" Su Yin nodded.
"Thank you for granting my wish, Junior Martial Uncle …" Sun Zhao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly kowtowed.
Seeing that his junior had gotten what he wanted, Mo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Envy flashed across his eyes.
Honestly speaking, to be able to learn from an expert like his Junior Martial Uncle, one's improvement was bound to be significant. Putting everything aside, he had only been in Great Salt City for three days, and he had already reached Heritage 3-dan pinnacle. If nothing went wrong, he would be able to achieve a breakthrough tonight!
Reaching Heritage 4-dan meant that one's cultivation would rise significantly. Coupled with the upgraded Luminous Moon Cauldron, he would be able to put up a fight against some of the elders of the Alliance Elder Hall!
It had only been three days, three months, or three years?
Perhaps, he might even be able to break through the shackles of Heritage and reach Eternity or even higher!
It could be said that following Junior Martial Uncle meant losing one's freedom, but at the same time, it was also equivalent to gaining a fortuitous encounter. And this fortuitous encounter was something that his junior had obtained.
It was a pity that … he was a member of the Qingyun Sect, and he was the teacher of the previous and current sect leader. He didn't have as much freedom as the other party, and he couldn't do as he pleased … Otherwise, he wouldn't have let go of this opportunity. After settling the matter of the Weapon Refining Hall, Sun Zhao was visibly more relaxed. After bidding farewell to Mo Yuan, he led Su Yin, the tortoise, and the bird to drive the bed and quickly flew in the direction of the Hidden Immortal Residence.
The courtyard was already destroyed, so there was no point in staying.
"How did you know that Xu Chong and the others might come? Why didn't you escape? "
Standing on the bed, Su Yin looked at the old man in front of him.
He must have known beforehand that Xu Chong and the others would come. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the butler to leave. Since he knew, why didn't he escape himself?
"Yesterday, when Rufei woke up, I asked the butler to go to the city to buy some resources that could be used by her. Junior Martial Uncle, you know that there are very few things that can be used by Spirit Weapons, and Great Salt City doesn't have them at all. Therefore, I asked the butler to entrust Great Salt City's largest cargo transportation family, the Zhao Family!"
Su Yin frowned.
Zhao Family? Could it be the Zhao Family that he met in the morning when he bought the ship?
"The Zhao Family controls Great Salt City's river and land transportation. They have a lot of resources and connections, so they are definitely the most suitable. After the butler finished his discussion with them, he happened to see Xu Chong and the others coming over to inquire about the Weapon Refiner."
Sun Zhao explained, "I've told him about this matter before. Once someone inquired about it, he was to report back immediately. He was also careful and secretly memorized the other party's appearance. When he came back and told him, how could he not know who it was? At first, he wanted to escape. Firstly, the other party came too quickly. Secondly, there was a flying ship. Even if he escaped, where could he escape to? "
If many people drove the flying ship, its speed would be faster than Sword Kinesis Flight. Moreover, the other party was a Level Three Inherited expert. If he was discovered, escaping was indeed an extravagant hope.
Since he couldn't escape, he might as well face it directly.
Su Yin finally understood and looked over curiously. "The Zhao Family you mentioned, is there someone called Zhao Qin?"
"Yes, Zhao Qin is the eldest son of the Zhao Family Head!"
Nodding, Sun Zhao looked over with some doubt. "The rise of the Zhao Family is definitely a miracle! Moreover, it's related to the Zhen Immortal Sect. How could Junior Uncle not know? "
"I just came out of seclusion not long ago, so I'm not clear about many things in the sect …" Su Yin shook his head.
"That's true. The Zhao Family isn't a family with a long history. It hasn't even been ten years since they rose to power!"
Sun Zhao said, "Family Head Zhao An was just an ordinary businessman who opened a mill ten years ago. I don't know how, but he accidentally met the previous Sect Head of the Zhen Immortal Sect, who is Junior Uncle's Senior Brother. That was how his legendary life began."
"Mill?"
"It's a place that helps people grind noodles … Many people farm and harvest wheat. They want to eat noodles, but they don't have anything like a millstone. They can only spend money to have others grind noodles for them … When this guy was thriving, he raised a total of ten donkeys and twelve millstones!"
Sun Zhao said.
"Then … how did this kind of person get to know Senior Brother?" Su Yin was curious.
The owner of a mill was considered to be at the bottom of society, but that cheap senior brother of his was an Inherited Realm elite. The two of them were completely unrelated!
"I don't know about that … I only know that he later used the name of Junior Uncle and Senior Brother to buy and sell all kinds of goods. His status rose, and in just a few years, he developed into one of the richest families in Great Salt City!"
Sun Zhao said.
Great Salt City was considered a vassal of the Zhen Immortal Sect. With the old sect leader as an imperial sword, who would dare to disobey him?
It was normal for the family to develop quickly. It could only be said that Zhao An was lucky to be favored by Senior Brother.
He only asked about the Zhao Family because he thought of Zhao Qin. He did not mean anything else. The two men and two beasts rode on the bed and soon arrived above Hidden Immortal Residence.
Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, they saw Wu Yuen standing outside the door. He paced back and forth anxiously. He wanted to enter, but he did not dare to push the door open.
After a long moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fist. "Elder Wu Yuan pays respect to Junior Uncle …"
After waiting for a moment, seeing that there was no response, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Brother Wu in? Where's Brother Donkey? Brother Tortoise … "
The courtyard was abnormally quiet. There was no sound at all.
"None of them are in?" Just as Wu Yuan was at a loss for what to do, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind him. "What's wrong?"
He hurriedly turned around and saw Junior Uncle, the parrot, the tortoise, and an unfamiliar elder standing on the same bed. They were looking at him calmly.
"Junior Uncle …" Wu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and bowed deeply. "Reporting to Junior Uncle, someone from the alliance is here. He said that he has something important to convey to you, and he wants you to … listen to him!"
"I'll pass it on to you. Just inform me when the time comes!" Su Yin waved his hand.
He was only in charge of the sect, not managing it. He couldn't be bothered to deal with such matters. If he had to worry about everything in such a large sect, how could he possibly have the time for himself?
"This …" Elder Wu said with a troubled look on his face. "I've already told him, but … they said that you have to be there personally to announce it. W-we … aren't qualified to do so!"
Su Yin frowned.
"Those people are used to being high and mighty …" Sun Zhao harrumphed coldly. He wasn't too fond of those from the alliance either.
"Since that's the case, let them wait then. I'll talk about it after I'm done!"
Su Yin turned to Sun Zhao and said, "Stand guard outside. If anyone tries to barge in, just kill them!"
"Yes!" Sun Zhao nodded hurriedly.
Without saying anything else, Su Yin controlled the bed and entered the courtyard. Soon, a frown appeared on his forehead. "Where's Dahei?"
Those two had obeyed his orders and gone to help him forge pills. Where were Dahei and The Great Demon? Why weren't they standing guard in the courtyard?
"This …"
The parrot was conflicted for a long time. However, seeing the cold glint in its master's eyes, it could only reply truthfully, "He said that he wanted to return to the place where he used to laze around … He said something about returning home with a catty!"
"Returning home in glory!" the old tortoise corrected.
"Right, right!" The parrot nodded. "Master, don't worry. We were worried that he might cause trouble because of his ignorance, so we had The Great Demon of Bliss follow him. With him around, there shouldn't be any danger …"
Su Yin frowned, but in the end, he chose not to say anything.
Given Donkey's cautious personality, it was unlikely that he would cause trouble. Even if he did, with The Great Demon and his own strength, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Forget it, there was no need to think about it anymore!
Regardless of whether it was to meet those from the alliance or to leave the Subjugation Immortal Sect, he had to be strong enough. Without strength, everything was just wishful thinking.
Returning to his room, Su Yin recuperated for a moment before focusing his attention on his dantian.
At this moment, the three surges of spiritual energy had already entered the Taiji Diagram. Of them, the one for smithing and pill forging had entered their respective regions. On the other hand, the one for entertainment had lit up a star that didn't come into contact with formations or formations, making it seem a little isolated.
Fusing zhenqi is similar to a broken rope. It requires a connection point before it can be fused together …
After assessing the situation in his dantian for some time, Zhang Xuan took out some ores and began forging. Not too long later, a sword appeared before him.
Even though he had never forged a weapon before, his blacksmithing skills had already been tested nine times. Even the most formidable blacksmiths in the world were no match for him. Putting aside the appearance of a sword, he could easily forge it no matter how detailed it was.
It didn't take long for the tempering to come to an end. With a light buzz, the sword reached the level of consummation.
Su Yin was perplexed.
Back when he was in the Forbidden Grounds, he could easily raise the tier of his weapon even with ordinary metal. But now that he had obtained so many precious ores and treasures, why was the quality of his weapon not as good as before?
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be thinking about such matters, Zhang Xuan returned his consciousness back to his dantian and saw that he could already control one of the surges of spiritual energy for smithing. He slowly guided it toward the center of the Taiji Diagram, and it didn't take long for him to arrive before the fusion of the spiritual energy for smithing, smithing, and formations.
Boom!
With the previous few fusions, Zhang Xuan wasn't too surprised. With a resounding buzz in his head, the spiritual energy for smithing was replenished. With two surges of spiritual energy for each of the three, a balance was reached.
Countless surges of spiritual energy gushed into Su Yin's body, and his cultivation swiftly soared. It didn't take long for him to reach 5-dan!
Previously, the fusion of the three surges of spiritual energy had already allowed him to reach Divinity 1-dan. But now, with just a single surge of spiritual energy, his cultivation had already soared by four small realms. It seemed like the balance of spiritual energy had a huge effect on his cultivation.
Let's continue!
Recalling the feeling he had when he obtained the spiritual energy for smithing, pill forging, and entertainment, Zhang Xuan took out the medicinal herbs and began forging pills and smithing weapons simultaneously.
Previously, forging grade-8 pills with Inscribed Inscriptions was extremely difficult. However, at this moment, all he had to do was to gather spiritual energy.
An hour later, just as he had expected, the three surges of spiritual energy were successfully fused together.
Placing the fused spiritual energy at the center of the Taiji Diagram, spiritual energy gathered once more. Taking out spirit stones, Su Yin's cultivation soared once more, reaching Zongshi 3-dan!
At this moment, there were already three surges of spiritual energy in his body.
Path of Teacher, Formation Inscriptions, and Smithing!
Path of Entertainment, Pill Forging, and Smithing!
Path of Medicine, Pill Forging!
Could he fuse all of them together?
'Smithing, Pill Forging... '
He could use these two as a medium to test it out.
Without any hesitation, Su Yin instructed Xiao Wu to feed the Violet Golden Eagle a Sandwiched Pill. Seeing that he could control the fusion of spiritual energy, he slowly moved it toward the second surge of spiritual energy.
Boom!
With pill forging as a medium, it didn't take long for a fusion of spiritual energy of the Path of Entertainment, Pill Forging, Smithing, and Path of Medicine to form. However, due to the imbalance, Zhang Xuan's dantian began to tremble.
However, with his current cultivation, he was able to suppress it easily.
With the fusion of the four surges of zhenqi, Zhang Xuan's cultivation improved tremendously. From Zongshi 3-dan to Zongshi 7-dan, he was able to match up to an ordinary cultivator after decades of hard work.
Continue!
Seeing that it was possible, Su Yin grinned and continued to control the fusion of spiritual energy. Since he could use pill forging as his foundation, he should be able to use smithing as his foundation as well.
After some time, Su Yin jolted once more.
The two surges of spiritual energy fused into a single surge of spiritual energy. Even though there were many types of spiritual energy, it was extremely unbalanced. As such, it didn't raise his cultivation by much. It only raised his cultivation from Zongshi 7-dan to Zongshi 9-dan.
Even so, with his current cultivation, it would be difficult for anyone in the Great Yan Continent to kill him. At this moment, he finally had the means to protect himself.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze toward his dantian.
The fusion of spiritual energy was as follows: 3 paths of smithing, 2 paths of teacher, 2 paths of formation, 2 paths of pill forging, 1 path of medicine, and 1 path of entertainment.
In total, he had fused the spiritual energy of six different occupations together.
"If I can make up for the balance and gather all three surges of spiritual energy, I should be able to achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation. Perhaps, I might even be able to reach Heritage 9-dan!"
Calculating the rate of his improvement, Su Yin's eyes lit up.
When he first left the forbidden grounds, he was still worried that he wouldn't be able to cultivate. To think that in just five days, he would be able to reach Zongshi 9-dan!
"It seems like … I don't feel any discomfort at all!"
Su Yin scratched his head. Sensing the immense strength within his body, he didn't feel any discomfort at all when he used it.
It was common knowledge that one would lose control of one's cultivation if one were to raise one's cultivation swiftly. However, he didn't feel anything at all. He wondered if it had something to do with his Xiantian Constitution and Immortal Bloodline.
"Seems like it'll be harder and harder to fuse my zhenqi in the future!"
The more he fused, the more spiritual energy he would need to fuse. Of course, that was all for the future.
Activating the Taiji Diagram, Su Yin concealed his cultivation and reverted back to the appearance of an ordinary person. Then, he boarded the flying board and flew out of the residence.
At this moment, Wu Yuan was still waiting outside. He was pacing back and forth anxiously, and he felt like crying.
On the other hand, Sun Zhao was seated on the floor, reinforcing his cultivation. He was completely unfazed by Wu Yuan's anxiousness.
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look at that envoy! "
Su Yin said as he walked up to Wu Yuan.
"Yes!" Wu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them stood on the bed and flew toward the entrance of the sect.
…
Weng weng!
The Fragmented Will in the forbidden grounds appeared once more. This time, they didn't speak anxiously. Instead, they stroked their chins and gazed into the distance with resentment in their eyes.
Is there any meaning to it?
It's one thing for you to comprehend it, but to fuse your Great Daos continuously … Do you have any shame?
Don't you know that you're making us look like weaklings by doing so?
"How many Great Daos have you fused?"
"Six!"
"How long did it take you to fuse six?"
"Stop asking. If you continue asking, I'll kill you!"
"Indeed, there's no need for you to ask him. Even on his deathbed, he didn't manage to fuse that many Great Daos …"
"Wang Qiancheng, shut up! It's as if you've fused your Great Daos. Didn't you only know calligraphy until your death? "
"I … This is called being single-minded. I don't forget my original intention!"
"Pui! A weakling is a weakling. Stop looking for excuses! "
…
The Fragmented Will was conflicted.
If they didn't compare, they wouldn't know. However, once they did, they would be shocked. Without comparison, they wouldn't be hurt.
"We're too strong, so it's too slow for us to fuse our Great Daos together. He's too weak, and he's not in the Celestial Realm. Without the suppression of the Great Daos, it's only natural for him to fuse his Great Daos together.
"That should be the case …"
"Besides, the Great Daos that he's talking about is only a single form. In other words, he's fusing his Great Daos together in a straight line. He hasn't managed to fuse them together! When he's able to fuse two of his Great Daos together without any conflict, that's the true Great Daos Fusion! "
"You're right!"
Consoling themselves, the Fragmented Will slowly disappeared.
…
When Su Yin returned to his residence to fuse with the spiritual energy, The Great Demon, who was carrying Donkey, had also arrived at Great Salt City and found the place where the former used to grind stones.
"Are you sure you didn't remember wrongly?"
Looking at the ruins before him, The Great Demon turned to the black donkey beside him with a doubtful look.
This place had been abandoned for at least seven to eight years. There wasn't a single person in sight.
"I didn't remember wrongly. This is the place …" Donkey shook his big ears in confusion.
Even though he hadn't gained sentience when he left this place back then, as a donkey, he should be able to recognize where his home was. How did it become like this in just a few years?
"Let's find someone to ask!"
The Great Demon jumped down from the donkey and found a residence nearby.
"You're talking about the Zhao Clan? They've already made a fortune and moved to the Zhao Manor over there! Yes, the residence at the end of the road is … "
"Oh, thank you!"
The Great Demon hurriedly nodded before leading Donkey forward. Not too long later, a massive residence appeared before them.
"There must be a lot of people in such a huge residence. Should we knock on the door and look for them, or should we sneak in?"
The Great Demon asked.
"I only want to meet Little Black and the others, as well as Zhao An, who used to beat me up. I don't want to meet anyone else!" Donkey replied.
"Then let's sneak in. We won't disturb anyone!"
The Great Demon heaved a sigh of relief. As a demonic cultivator, he didn't want to be seen by others, even though he had already 'turned over a new leaf'.
Hu!
A surge of demonic aura flew out from his fingertip, shrouding him and the black donkey. After doing so, The Great Demon smiled and said, "Let's go in. As long as your cultivation isn't above Zongshi realm, you won't be able to see through my disguise!"
"Un!"
Donkey nodded. Then, he walked toward the majestic door. Along the way, he met quite a few cultivators, but it was as if they couldn't see him.
"Your disguise is really good. Hurry up and teach me so that I won't be reprimanded by my master when I steal wheat to eat in the future …"
Donkey's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhang Xuan.
"Ah …" The Great Demon felt a little helpless.
My master is planting wheat in his courtyard. If someone were to eat it, he would know that it was you without even looking. Besides … my disguise might be able to hide from ordinary people, but someone as powerful as my master should be able to see through it easily.
Not wanting to argue with the other party on this matter, Zhang Xuan extended his Spiritual Perception, and soon, a frown appeared on his forehead. "Donkey doesn't seem to be in this courtyard!"
The Great Demon, who had once dominated the world, was still injured. Even though he hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, he was still able to tell if there was a donkey in the courtyard.
"There isn't?"
Dahei pondered for a moment before replying, "Don't worry, I'll take a sniff. I should be able to find it. Little Black doesn't like bathing, and it stinks …"
Donkey sniffed the area for a moment, and indeed, he seemed to have noticed something. Perplexed, he said, "Little Black's scent is over there, but it's a little faint. Could it have changed its habit and started to like bathing?"
Dahei recalled the time he spent with the other party, and a smile crept onto his face. "I wonder how that fellow is doing after so many years! You don't know how lazy and greedy it is, and it always tries to get me beaten up! Initially, it was furious with me, so it didn't like me very much. However, after getting along with me for some time, I started to think that it's not too bad!
"That's because it likes to steal food. Every time it grinds something, it would steal some for me to eat. There was once when I was beaten up by Zhao An, and I wasn't given any food to eat. It was the one who secretly brought me a lot of grass and flour! That was the first time I ate flour. Thinking about it now, I can't help but linger on the aftertaste!
"There's also bean biscuits … Due to eating a lot of good stuff, my injuries healed quickly. Who knew that it would continue to steal food, and Zhao An would discover it. He gave it a good beating, and it seemed to have crippled my leg. It took half a year for it to recover!"
"Crippled your leg?" The Great Demon wasn't interested in hearing about the story between Donkey and Zhao An, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Indeed. Zhao An is extremely vicious. Even if one doesn't die, one would still lose a layer of skin. Back then, I was beaten up really badly. However, Little Black reacted swiftly. When it was being beaten up, it wagged its tail furiously and begged for forgiveness. That was why only one of its legs was broken! Otherwise, it might have died on the spot. "
Dahei remarked in delight. "However, it's fine. When master treated your injuries, I secretly hid some recovery medicine. When we meet later, I'll feed it to it. It should be able to resolve its old injuries! Besides, I know that it's a glutton, so I've secretly kept some juicy green foxtail grass for it to try later! "
The Great Demon nodded.
It was no wonder why Dahei went to look for Little Black as soon as they came out. It seemed like they were on good terms.
"Since Zhao An often beats up Little Black, have you ever thought of helping it?"
"I've already prepared for it! Those people whom master defeated yesterday left behind quite a few good items. I secretly picked up two of them, and it should be enough to redeem its freedom … When it's free from the restraints of others, I'll introduce it to master. This way, the two of us can eat grass together, play together, tease female donkeys and mares together … and enjoy the life of a donkey! "
As he spoke, Dahei chuckled. "Let me tell you, I saw a beautiful mare outside the medical hall the other time. I chatted with it for a long time, and it has a good impression of me! I must tell Little Black about it later so that it can be envious of me! "
The Great Demon nodded.
Actually, it wasn't too bad to have a friend who could go through thick and thin with him, even though it was just a donkey.
Amidst the discussion, the man and the donkey quickly walked in the direction of the smell. Soon, they arrived at a spacious courtyard. Right in front of them was a towering building with a magnificent aura. It should be the meeting hall where the patriarch was. There were many people sitting inside, and each of them had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary aura.
Ignoring these people, The Great Demon and Donkey looked into the hall at the same time. Then, they saw more than ten donkey skins hanging on the walls on both sides. They had long been air-dried and embedded in picture frames like decorations.
PS: The second volume, Donkey's Family Visit, has ended. In this volume, the main point is that the protagonist begins to comprehend spiritual energy, fuse with the Great Dao, learn how to cultivate, and obtain true cultivation. At the same time, the curtains of the next volume will be pulled open, and the whole world will be displayed more clearly in front of everyone. It can be considered as a link between the previous volume and the following.
For this volume, I listened to everyone's opinions in time and reduced the description of Donkey and the other Three Beasts. I increased the protagonist's story and context, and made the protagonist's story fuller. Because of the impact of the first volume, it doesn't feel as good as the previous volume. However, I still wrote what I wanted to express.
Because I haven't thought of a name for this volume yet, the context of the story has been designed. There will be a series of climaxes, and it should be better than this volume. Tomorrow, I will start the next volume. Because I have to work on the outline and design the story in the afternoon, I will only have this chapter for today. However, it's not a small amount, 9,000 words.
Finally, I will double the last day. I will ask for monthly votes. If everyone doesn't vote, it will become single. It will be a waste!
