127: Chapter 127 The Green Snake's Wealth Soars
It was a pity for these three big shots.
They had taken in a Disciple who was currently thinking of ways to exterminate the three of them.
Xu Qing had infiltrated the Xuanji Sect for the sake of seizing the deity transformation imprint for Daya to restore her cultivation.
These three were the final bosses.
They were also the fellows who had originally harmed the Daya who trusted them and snatched her deity transformation imprint.
“This Venerable One's name is Venerable Profound Heart.”
“Since you have joined the Xuanji Sect and taken this Venerable One as your Revered Master, this Venerable One shall give you a meeting gift.”
The old man with white hair and a youthful face flicked his hand, and a purple jade pendant floated toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing hurriedly reached out with both hands to catch it.
“This jade piece is named the Purple Light Jade Bi.”
“It can absorb and store the purple Qi of sunrise, the rosy clouds of sunset, the Yin essence of moonrise, and the brilliance of moonset.”
“It condenses the spiritual dew of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to cultivation.”
Venerable Profound Heart stroked his beard, looking quite proud of himself.
Xu Qing didn't understand.
But it was very powerful, and that was that!
“Old Man Profound Heart, you really are generous, even giving away the Purple Light Jade Bi.”
The elegant man sitting beside Old Man Profound Heart also looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing swallowed his saliva.
Today, Snake Snake's net worth was about to skyrocket!
“This Venerable One's name is Venerable Mysterious Method.”
“This Venerable One is not as wealthy as Senior Brother Profound Heart, so I will give you a wine lamp.”
Mysterious Method tapped his Storage Pouch and took out a wine lamp.
“This lamp is called the heaven-stealing lamp.”
“The lamp can hold a thousand dou of liquid; no matter what liquid it is, it can be brewed into wine.”
“It's a good thing for brewing wine.”
The item Mysterious Method took out left Xu Qing a bit confused.
“Disciple, do not look down on this wine lamp.”
“The wine brewed by this lamp is not just better than immortal brew in taste.”
“Even a ladle of water can be brewed into spiritual wine by this heaven-stealing lamp to assist in cultivation.”
“Not to mention using Spirit Medicines and spiritual materials for refining; the words 'heaven-stealing' are not just for show.”
Old Man Profound Heart stroked his beard at the side.
Xu Qing took the wine lamp; it was like cast bronze, with incomprehensible runes carved on the surface.
There was a fresh fragrance inside the lamp, and the inner walls were carved with lifelike swimming fish.
Venerables Profound Heart and Mysterious Method had both finished giving their meeting gifts.
At this time, they both fixed their gazes on the beautiful woman and stopped speaking.
Including Xu Qing, who also secretly stared at the beautiful woman.
To have a sheep and not shear its wool would be a disgrace to the snake race.
The beautiful woman cursed inwardly.
Why must you drag me along when you're showing off in front of the Disciple?
Truly not decent people, I was already poor to begin with!
“This Venerable One is Venerable Mysterious Spirit.”
“Since Senior Brother Profound Heart and Junior Brother Mysterious Method have both offered such heavy treasures, this Venerable One shall give you this object.”
“It should be of no small help to your future cultivation.”
Mysterious Spirit reached into her Storage Pouch and pulled out a bronze mirror.
The front of the bronze mirror was incredibly smooth; though called a mirror, it could not reflect anything.
The back was inlaid with several pieces of red jade, but other than that, there were no other relief decorations.
Yet it appeared simple and luxurious.
“This mirror is called the Shape-Dividing Mirror.”
“When activated, it can differentiate a Clone, which possesses eighty percent of the original body's strength.”
“Furthermore, it comes with all the Magic Treasures of the original body, but the treasures only have sixty percent of their original power.”
“Usable below the Nascent Soul Stage.”
Venerable Mysterious Spirit tossed the mirror to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing hurriedly caught it.
Profound Heart and Mysterious Method said nothing; this mirror was roughly equal in value to the apprenticeship gifts they had given.
“This Disciple thanks the three Revered Masters.”
Xu Qing was moved inwardly.
Just very moved.
At the same time, there was a tiny bit of bitterness in his heart.
He had scrambled and struggled outside, exhausting his wits, yet hadn't obtained any decent Magic Treasures.
Except for those given by the System.
If he wanted Magic Treasures, he had to refine them himself.
A perfectly good snake having to learn a hand of Artifact Refining techniques, how bitter.
When he first started refining artifacts, he didn't even have hands.
He refined with his tail; to speak of it, the Green Snake was full of tears.
“You possess a Heaven-Made dao root, unique in the world.”
“The future of the Xuanji Sect, the future of the Human Race of the Xia Dynasty, depends on you.”
“Yao Beasts must be suppressed; it won't do otherwise!”
Xu Qing almost got scared into a rattlesnake again.
Fortunately, the necklace sent by Elder Li was still working hard; otherwise, his Demonic Qi would have leaked.
He felt like there would be no way to leave an intact corpse.
From then on, the Xuanji Sect might have one more heavy treasure that traverses the boundary between life and death.
“This token is for you.”
“With this token, all the Sect's books and Cultivation Techniques can be read.”
“Your only task now is to Cultivate hard.”
Profound Heart handed Xu Qing a token.
It was exactly the Xuanji Sect's Disciple token, with the words 'Core' carved on the back.
“You are, after all, a heaven-made Spiritual Root, so before your cultivation is successful, the Sect will not reveal your existence.”
“So your current identity, declared to the outside world, is that of a Core Disciple.”
Xu Qing was not surprised.
Afterward, he was assigned an Immortal Cave overflowing with Spiritual Qi.
The Cultivation Technique for his practice had also been chosen by the three Elders.
The first layer of the Xuanji Sect's Sect-guarding technique, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Mechanism Heart Method.
The first layer could only be cultivated to Qi Refining, and the Scripture Pavilion had no records of it either.
It was, after all, the core technique of the Xuanji Sect.
Even if he was a Heaven-Made dao root, as a newcomer, it was impossible to give it all to him.
He walked toward his Immortal Cave.
Along the way, what he heard was...
“Senior Brother, I caught a pig demon today. Shall we roast the meat and eat?”
“A snake demon? Let's go, slay it! We'll stew a pot of snake soup!”
“Elder, I'll take this mission to slay the python demon!”
“A bear demon is causing trouble...”
He finally reached his Immortal Cave.
Xu Qing stepped into the Immortal Cave and pressed his back firmly against the gate.
“Elder Li, where are you? I'm so scared!”
“This place is simply not a place for a snake to stay.”
Xu Qing could feel the thick malice coming from all directions, overwhelming him.
And at this time, Elder Li...
“Having passed the Heart-Inquiry Pass, the next step is to go to the Xuanji Sect and worship under a Nascent Soul Elder.”
Elder Li, who had just passed the examination...
The road was long and the burden was heavy.
“Panic is useless; I'll just have to bite the bullet.”
Xu Qing found a prayer mat to sit and meditate.
Although he wanted to stretch out his tail, he was afraid and could only hold it in.
Nine Heavens Mysterious Mechanism Heart Method.
Xu Qing opened this book and began to read it seriously.
A human Cultivation Technique was naturally quite awkward for him to practice.
But there were many unique insights within it that were still worth learning.
Overall, it was on par with Madam Bai's White Flood Dragon Heart Art.
But since he was of the snake race, the White Flood Dragon Heart Art was clearly more suitable for him.
“So just how great a karmic fortune did Madam Bai give me back then!”
Xu Qing was no longer a wild snake of the Cultivation World who knew nothing.
The Xuanji Sect was one of the top-tier Sects in the entire Cultivation World.
It had Soul Transformation Cultivators presiding over it.
Though they were gone now.
This Sect's core guardian technique was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Mechanism Heart Method.
And the White Flood Dragon Heart Art was comparable to it.
“Once again, I pray to the noble, great, and broad-minded Madam Bai for a peaceful day.”
Xu Qing took out the green tail white hair sword and bowed to the white flood dragon scale inlaid upon it.
Next, besides studying the Nine Heavens Mysterious Mechanism Heart Method, Xu Qing spent his time nurturing and refining the three heavy treasures he had just obtained.
A fulfilling week passed just like that.
It got to the point where Xu Qing almost forgot what he had come here for.
