Sealing Jade Slip
Looking at Shui Qianyue's departing back, the faces of the upper echelons of the Shui Clan all turned green. No matter what, they were still Shui Qianyue's elders. To be disregarded and ridiculed like this, no one would have a good expression on their faces.
"Geniuses have their temperament, we're all family, don't take it to heart."
Shui Chongxian tried to smooth things over, then changed the topic. "However, Qian Yue is right. Our Shui family is one of the top families in West Wind City. If we make a move on Chu Town, it will be hard to avoid gossip. How about this, first send a few people to infiltrate Chu Town and see what tricks they are up to."
"Yes, Patriarch!" Since even Shui Chongxian had said so, the higher-ups of the Shui Family could not refute and bowed.
While the Shui Family was discussing, many other families were discussing secretly, including the Hundred Treasures Building.
After all, the matter of more than ten cities submitting to Chu Town was extraordinary. It was enough to change the power structure of West Wind City. Even Qin Yuyan, who did not care about worldly affairs, was surprised.
"I deserve to die, I did not get the information in time, please punish me Miss Yuyan!" Qin Shan knelt heavily on the ground, his head almost touching the ground.
A long time ago, Qin Shan had followed Qin Yuyan's instructions and sent people to infiltrate Chu Town to monitor Chu Xingyun's movements.
All along, Qin Shan was very assured about this matter, thinking that he had already grasped all the movements of Chu Town.
It was only at this moment that he realised he was wrong.
The information he received before was only some insignificant matters. He knew nothing about major events like the Fire Spirit Stone vein and the annexation of other families.
Qin Shan did not even know how many experts Chu Town had, or whether there were people secretly helping him. He was completely led by the nose by Chu Town!
"This matter is not your fault, but we did not expect Chu Town to develop so quickly." Qin Yuyan frowned, suddenly having a feeling that the situation was out of her control.
"Mining the Fire Spirit Stone Vein and annexing many families. Even if our Hundred Treasures Building were to deal with these two matters, it would be troublesome. However, Chu Zhen was able to deal with them so easily. Could it be because of that hidden expert?" Qin Shan suddenly thought of this.
In his opinion, Chu Zhen was weak. It was impossible for him to accomplish such a feat. He must have received the help of that hidden expert. Otherwise, there was no way to explain it with common sense.
"That's not necessarily true."
Qin Yuyan shook her head and said, "Since he's a reclusive master, he probably won't intervene in the disputes between the families. Even if he wants to take action, why would he hide it? It would be more effective to intimidate Chu Xingyun directly. Moreover, I have a hunch that everything that has happened recently has been manipulated by Chu Xingyun. It has nothing to do with others."
As she spoke, Chu Xingyun's delicate and handsome face involuntarily appeared in Qin Yuyan's mind. Especially that pair of pitch-black eyes that were like two endless whirlpools, making it impossible for others to see through them.
Such a man, even in the Imperial City where there were countless geniuses, Qin Yuyan had not seen many of them.
Qin Shan was startled. He did not expect that Qin Yuyan would have such a high evaluation of Chu Xingyun. He was at a loss and said, "What should we do now? Should we continue to monitor Chu Zhen?"
"We've been monitoring him for so long and we didn't get any information. What's the point of monitoring him now?" Qin Yuyan said coldly. Qin Shan's expression froze.
"Let those who are monitoring him withdraw from Chu Zhen. Now that Chu Zhen is flourishing, there are bound to be many families who want to take action. You can use your status as a partner to intimidate them." Qin Yuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Especially the Shui Family."
Qin Shan nodded. He understood what Qin Yuyan meant.
The flourishing of Chu Zhen was a good thing for the Hundred Treasures Building as a partner. The Hundred Treasures Building should seize this opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the two families.
As for the Shui Family, they already had a grudge with the Chu Family. As long as one had a discerning eye, they would be able to guess that the Shui Family would make a move. Using the Shui Family to intimidate the Chu Family was naturally the best option.
Chu Xingyun had already anticipated the matters of the outside world before he left Town Chu. As such, he wasn't too worried and focused on his cultivation.
In the secret room at the bottom of the lake.
Chu Xingyun sat cross-legged. In front of him, there was a piece of jade. There were strange patterns on the jade and it was emitting a mysterious fluctuation.
Buzz!
A burst of spiritual energy suddenly bloomed. Chu Xingyun opened his eyes and his palms danced like a gust of wind. Using a unique method, he constantly patted the jade. Finally, all the patterns were connected and formed an obscure pattern.
"Finally done!" After doing all this, Chu Xingyun was relieved. He fell down and gasped for breath. It seemed that he had exhausted all the strength in his body.
Until today, Chu Xingyun had stayed in the secret room for more than three months.
During this period, he had not left. Every day, other than cultivating, he put all his effort into this piece of jade. No, strictly speaking, he put all his effort into this pattern.
Ever since he knew that the spirit beast egg could spit out spiritual liquid, Chu Xingyun secretly decided that he must take the spirit beast egg. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to take it.
Although this secret room was extremely hidden and ordinary people would not be able to find it, Chu Xingyun was still a little worried. He was afraid that the spirit beast egg would be discovered by others after he gained strength.
Therefore, he spent more than three months to create nine of these jade pieces. As for the pattern on the jade pieces, it was a sealing method that Chu Xingyun had created in his previous life.
"The Nine Elements Chaos Formation has nine formation eyes. I have embedded the sealing jade pieces into the formation eyes. Not only can it seal the spirit beast egg's aura, but it can also activate part of the formation's power. Apart from me, unless there is a Martial Emperor, no one else can enter this secret room." Chu Xingyun lined up the nine sealing jade pieces in a row, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.
Although his current cultivation base wasn't high, there weren't many people in the entire True Spirit Continent who could compare to him in terms of methods and tricks. Take these nine sealing jade slips for example. Without a unique method, even a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert wouldn't be able to carve them.
However, although inscribing the sealing jade pieces was difficult, the harvest was not small.
In the past three months, Chu Xingyun had completely consolidated his cultivation base. He had even successfully advanced to the eighth level of Body Tempering Realm.
According to his estimation, he only needed to continue cultivating for a period of time before he could break through again and enter the ninth layer of Tempered Body. At that time, he would only be one step away from the Spirit Gathering Realm.
Apart from the improvement in his cultivation, Chu Xingyun had obtained more than nine hundred drops of spiritual liquid in this period of time. It was as much as a gourd. If all of it were exchanged for spirit stones, it would reach an astonishing four thousand five hundred spirit stones.
