The Great Wild God - Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Invincible at the True Yang Realm
“Master Ge, I have something to ask you?” Chen Xun asked.
“Tell me.” Ge Yi said.
“In the courtyard of guests, a piece of profound armor is inscribed with two layers of Diamond Profound Symbols. The price is three hundred talismans. Why did the price of a piece of precious armor inscribed with three layers of Diamond Profound Symbols suddenly increase tenfold?” Chen Xun asked.
Chen Xun handed the Diamond Armor to Grandpa and brought it back to the black python.
On the one hand, Grandpa and the others could only passively cultivate their Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Energy, so they needed a talisman artifact. On the other hand, Chen Xun also realized that the profound armor engraved with the two-level Diamond Profound Symbols could only provide him with a limited amount of protective magic power.
Right now, he could break through the protection of two layers of talisman armor in two strikes. Not to mention the experts of the Reincarnation Realm, peak ninth layer True Yang Realm cultivators had one or two powerful talisman tools in their hands. One strike could also break through the protection of two layers of talisman armor. It was meaningless for him to wear them on his body.
In Chen Xun’s opinion, to be invincible in the True Yang Realm, wearing a three-level talisman armor was the most basic requirement.
However, the price of a three-level talisman armor was actually as high as three thousand talismans, far exceeding his imagination.
Just engraving one more profound talisman increased the price tenfold. Chen Xun thought to himself that there must be a secret he didn’t know, and he could ask Ge Yi about it now.
Ge Yi thought to himself that when Chen Xun was ten years old, he was a wandering black python and had not been able to enter the Learning Palace to cultivate. Now that he was truly a rogue cultivator, he patiently told him some things.
‘”One sense cannot be used in two ways. Wearing the Mysterious Weapon Talisman Armor and fighting against the enemy, the Spiritual Sense is constantly circulating between the Mysterious Weapon Talisman Armor and cannot be used in two places at the same time. Therefore, we must be extremely skilled in order to display the power of the Mysterious Weapon Talisman Armor …”
Chen Xun thought that a late Greensun Realm cultivator had only just begun cultivating his spiritual sense, so he was unable to control the two types of talisman tools. However, hearing Ge Yi say with such certainty that “one knowledge cannot be used for both purposes”, Chen Xun knew that the fact that he could control two Greenflame Pearls at the same time was definitely an odd number in the True Yang Realm, so he couldn’t reveal the slightest bit of information.
Ge Yi continued, “… The secret armor is carved with multiple Diamond Profound Symbols. If you can’t connect them, you can only use the protective power of a single Diamond Profound Symbol.” Therefore, the high-grade secret armor was not a simple superposition of multiple Diamond Profound Symbols. It also required the formation of profound symbols. The more profound talismans there were, the more complex the formation became, and the stricter the requirements for the artifact-making materials and the person who refined them. Apart from the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures that required the Bear Lion’s Abdominal Skin, only experts at the peak of the Middle Reincarnation Realm were confident in refining the three layers of Talisman Armor. “Don’t look at the third level of the secret armor. It’s only twice as strong as the second level of the defense. However, the price of the three thousand talismans is still low. Take it to the marketplace and exchange for it. If the price doubles, there will be rogue cultivators rushing to get it …”
Hearing Ge Yi’s explanation, Chen Xun was also secretly shocked. He thought to himself, “How many peak mid-Reincarnation Realm cultivators are there in the entire Azure Water Realm?”
Not to mention treasures like Xiong Shi’s belly skin, only experts like Su Quan and Su Qingfeng were required to forge a set of secret armor and pay three thousand talismans. The asking price could not be considered high.
********************
The nine races were determined to put their core interests on managing Tianma Lake Stronghold City. Moreover, with the growing prosperity of Tianma Lake Stronghold City, a large number of loose cultivators poured in, and the cultivation resources of the True Yang Realm would also become increasingly rich.
In this way, Zuoqiu, Gu Jianfeng, and the others did not need to stay in Azure Water City to cultivate.
After two days, Chen Xun returned to the Northern Mountain with a caravan escorted by the Commandant Su Wu’s Manor.
Cai’er was Chen Xun’s maidservant, so she had no choice but to stay in Azure Water City. This time, Zhao Tu’s entire family also moved to the North Mountain with Chen Xun.
Chen Xun didn’t go to Tianma Lake Stronghold City. When he arrived at the Northern Mountain, he separated from Zuoqiu, Gu Jianfeng, and the others. He directly brought Zhao Tu, Cai’er, and the rest of the family back to the Black Python Stone Stronghold with their camels and horses.
Everything on the Black Python’s side was as usual. Apart from being tidier than before, there wasn’t much change in the Stone Stronghold.
Ah Qing was trapped in a small house in Azure Water City, so he was suffocated. When he arrived at the black python, the entire village was filled with joy.
After Zong Tu returned to the black python, he went to the stone ridge to the east of the stone village to cultivate in seclusion. Chen Xun threw his possessions to Zhao Tu and Cai’er to tidy up. Then, he followed Nan Liao out of the village and went to see Grandpa.
Stone Ridge and Stone Stronghold were next to each other, two to three miles apart. When Black Mountain and Mountain Dong surrounded the black python, they set up camp on Stone Ridge.
Compared to more than a year ago, there was a spring water flowing down from the cliff of the Stone Ridge, falling straight down from the top of the cliff, forming a rather spectacular waterfall.
Zong Tu wore the Mysterious Talisman Armor and sat cross-legged under the cliff. The Mysterious Armor emitted a ray of light to resist the impact of flowing water falling from the cliff.
This place has already been designated as a forbidden area by the Black Python.
Apart from the dense forest, from the cliff top down, both sides used fence wood to surround the waterfall. Every day, there were barbarian martial guards to prevent others from accidentally intruding into the waterfall.
After returning to the Black Python and consuming the Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill, Zong Ya, who had broken through to the sixth level of the Barbarian Martial Arts and advanced to the seventh level of the Blood Transformation Stage, stayed here with Nanxi, Zong Ling, and the others to cultivate. He was also the guardian of Zong Tu.
Seeing Chen Xun return to the Black Python, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and the others were all extremely excited as they surrounded him. Chen Xun saw a crane-haired old man dressed in green sitting cross-legged in front of the waterfall. His face was unfamiliar, and his aura didn’t look strong, but he fused with Shi Ling and had an indescribable profound Dao aura …
When the old man saw Nan Liao and the others coming over, he propped himself up and walked over.
Chen Xun was also puzzled. Who was this person?
Zong Tu’s cultivation couldn’t be interrupted, so Nan Liao introduced him on his behalf,
“This is Daoist Azurewood, a good friend of Duke Wu. After Duke Wu returned to the Black Python, he chiseled through the Stone Ridge and flowed down. He sat under the cliff for half a month to cultivate. He specially invited Daoist Azurewood to come over to protect him …”
“Brat Chen Xun pays his respects to Senior Cyanwood.” Chen Xun had always wanted to pay his respects to Daoist Greenwood and ask for advice in person. He hadn’t expected to see him here. He immediately went to the Longevity Ceremony and thought to himself that it was really right to decide to return to the Black Python. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how long it would take to see Daoist Greenwood.
‘”Haha, you are Chen Xun.” Daoist Azurewood laughed and looked at Chen Xun several times. “Zong Tu came to me and said that there are children to teach. I was also in seclusion and hard work. I didn’t have the time to pay attention to him, so Zong Tu changed my broken book with a shameless face. Zong Tu really has a good eye …”
“Senior, Chen Xun is extremely grateful for your kindness.” Chen Xun said gratefully.
Cang Lan copied three to five low-level spells in a single silk book, and it couldn’t be exchanged for three to five hundred Crow Python Pills.
Apart from the map of the Great Roc Secret Fist, the [Dao Accumulation Paraphrase] was also a summary of Daoist Greenwood’s life-long cultivation experience.
If he really wanted to exchange it, the Black Python Stone Village might not be able to obtain the [Dao Connotation Paraphrase] from Daoist Greenwood.
Daoist Azure Wood was able to easily hand over the silk manuscript to Grandpa. First, he had a life-and-death friendship with Grandpa. Second, although Daoist Azure Wood had never seen him before, Grandpa had heard of him before and was willing to help him.
“What’s there to be grateful for? There is karma in fate. Qianlan was also saved by you.” Daoist Greenwood smiled.
“Senior, what is your relationship with Junior Sister Qianlan?” Chen Xun asked. There were some things that were insignificant to outsiders, so he had never asked Qianlan about her relationship with Daoist Greenwood.
“Back then, I wanted to learn the Dao from the Barbarian Master Sect. It has been 30 years since I was kicked out of the Left Thorn Tribe without being tolerated by my clansmen.” Speaking of the past, Zuo Qingmu was filled with emotions.
Only then did Chen Xun know that Daoist Greenwood was actually Qianlan, a Zuoqiu uncle-level figure who had once joined the Heavenly Barbarian Black Python Sect’s Shouyang Sect.
Although Daoist Greenwood was unable to return to the Left Thorn Tribe due to the clan rules, his blood relationship was still there. It was normal for him to find a cliff cave to cultivate next to the Left Thorn Tribe in his later years. It was normal for him to impart any unique techniques to Zuoqiu and Qianlan.
Chen Xunshi was somewhat worried when Qianlan entered Su Lingyin’s sect. He immediately asked Zong Ya and the others to go cultivate first. He sat down with Daoist Greenwood and Nan Liao to talk.
“Has Senior ever heard of rumors about evil cultivators and pirates?” Chen Xun asked Daoist Greenwood.
Whether it was the Western Wilderness or the Cloud Continent, this would happen from time to time. Daoist Greenwood could guess what Chen Xun meant when he heard Chen Xun ask about this matter. He said, “The Ancient Desolate Bloodline is extremely powerful without cultivation. Some evil cultivators were stuck in the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm and were unable to break through. In fact, their divine souls were weak, so they moved their thoughts to steal other people’s bloodlines to replenish their divine souls. There were also some evil cultivators who stole other people’s bloodlines and planted them into their disciples because their aptitude was limited. However, this matter is a taboo in both Cloud Continent and the Western Wilderness … ”
Although Daoist Greenwood had not advanced to the Reincarnation Realm, he had traveled to Cloud Continent and the Western Wilderness in his early years and had seen many things in his life. He was truly not something an ordinary cultivator could compare to.
Chen Xun was a little puzzled, so he just happened to ask him for advice.
“A Heaven Origin Realm cultivator doesn’t have greed?”
Daoist Azurewood smiled and said, “Those who can enter the Heaven Origin Realm either have great opportunities, or they are spirits that possess the Ancient Desolate Bloodline. After entering the Heaven Origin Realm, their divine souls have long since reached perfection. There is no need to intercept the strengths of others to make up for their weaknesses.” ‘”Su Lingyin is someone who became famous at the same time as Barbarian Master Sect’s Shouyang and Su Qingfeng. She is younger than me and her cultivation is very high, but she is far from something that our generation can compare to. It is also fate that Qianlan can join her sect …”
Chen Xun heard Daoist Azure Wood say that he and Elder Su Lingyin of the College were old acquaintances. He thought to himself that the fact that Qianlan had tried her best to cover her body with the Ancient Desolate Bloodline was that the Left Thorn Tribe was powerless to protect her, and once she entered Su Lingyin’s sect, there was no need for her to worry.
Su Lingyin had attained the Dao very early. At this moment, she was not even sixty years old. In terms of her 150-year lifespan, Su Lingyin still had eighty to ninety years to break through to the Reincarnation Realm. There was really no need to risk the world’s condemnation to steal someone else’s bloodline to replenish her soul.
