103: Sacrifice again
"Where are you thinking of going? Did your grandfather not consider this?" Xiao Tianheng retorted speechlessly, then explained with a hint of pride:
"Qingxuan Town was originally outside the Imperial Dynasty's Luck, and I built it up from a small village little by little. I considered this problem from the very beginning.
The only problem is that your grandfather did serve in the army.
Fighting for the Imperial Dynasty.
This led to me being too deeply entangled with the Imperial Dynasty.
Alas..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tianheng sighed again, "I originally didn't expect my Grandson to achieve Foundation Establishment. Given the situation at the time, my Breakthrough would naturally have been more beneficial if it had been done with great fanfare.
Never thought... Alas!
Now I'm afraid our clan will also be too ostentatious and attract the attention of the Royal Family.
A clan with two Foundation Establishment cultivators, how similar to the Lu Family thirty years ago.
It's better to be safe than sorry!"
Understood!
After figuring out the reason, even Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but rub his teeth.
In the end, it was still his fault for not informing his grandfather beforehand.
But how could he inform him?
Should he say: 'Hehehe, Grandpa, your Grandson is rich! I woke up and achieved Heavenly Foundation Establishment.'
Isn't that a joke?
And speaking of attracting the Royal Family's attention... Haha!
Xiao Qingyuan instantly became expressionless. This was no longer a matter of 'attention' or 'not attention'.
Now it's a matter of how many people hate him so much they can't sleep.
Wouldn't you agree, Brother Ku He?
In short, he is extremely famous now!
His name has probably already appeared on the desks of various major powers in Central Capital.
Who knows how many forces have placed him on the gambling table as a chip.
Oh, right!
Now there's also the Seventh Prince.
Tsk!
"By the way, is the Imperial Dynasty's Luck you mentioned this thing?"
Suddenly, Xiao Qingyuan thought of something and directly took out the imperial decree from his Storage Pouch.
The imperial decree was sealed in a Jade Slip box, so it wasn't a big deal.
But once taken out, the pressure within it spread out like a wild horse.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this, Xiao Tianheng gasped and quickly snatched the imperial decree to examine it.
After carefully reading it, he finally let out a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness!
Only this Zhenwu Guard Garrison Commander position is a huge trap. It's fine within the Qingxuan area.
He hasn't had time to take office yet.
If my Grandson really went to take office, it would be hard to say.
However, constantly delaying it isn't a solution either."
Xiao Tianheng felt a bit numb at the sight.
Xiao Qingyuan also felt numb upon hearing this.
Good heavens.
In other words.
On the surface, their Xiao Clan Immortal Family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But one's life is in someone else's hands.
And the other's life was almost in someone else's hands.
"Did that guy trick me before?"
Recalling the Storage Pouch, besides a pile of old junk.
Xiao Qingyuan slapped his thigh in anger.
What about being enfeoffed with Yanggu Prefecture, what about being enfeoffed as a Foundation Establishment garrison, leading the Zhenwu Guard.
They were all traps.
If it weren't for those ignorant ministers of the Ku Family, he really would have been tricked.
And just yesterday, his father almost stepped into a trap.
Good heavens.
He was just a good heavens.
After understanding all the circumstances, Xiao Qingyuan still advised Xiao Tianheng to stay at home for now.
After all, he had offended so many people.
The Ku Family and other aristocratic ministers were wary of the Immortal Sect represented by his elder brother. Because they couldn't gauge the truth, they chose to test him.
The Royal Family, because he was opposing the aristocratic families, would probably also remain on the sidelines, treating them as pawns.
Although the situation after the revelation would probably be quite tragic.
But in the short term, they only needed to resist the pressure from the aristocratic families.
At the same time, they also had to try their best not to expose the Immortal Sect's secret.
Most importantly, they had to quickly find a way to completely remove the threat of the Imperial Dynasty's Luck from above their heads.
Who could endure an opponent who could curse the Immortal Clan at any time, hiding in the shadows, ready to stab you for various reasons?
...The next morning.
The Xiao Clan Immortal Family acted as if nothing had happened, going about their usual business.
Xiao Qingyuan also tried to learn the Blood Rain Technique, but it wasn't something that could be mastered in one or two tries, and it required consuming Yao Beast essence blood.
After doing all this, he went alone to the foot of Spoon Mountain to cultivate in seclusion.
【The only thing that can resist the Imperial Dynasty's Luck is a higher level of Luck power】
【——A true Luck Treasure】
【Only by using a true Luck Treasure to suppress the Immortal Clan's Luck can the Immortal Clan completely break free from the influence of the Imperial Dynasty's Luck】
【To save grandfather's life】
【Or rather, to prevent anyone from easily taking grandfather's life】
【I only have one Reincarnation power now, but there's no time】
【Who knows if the Seventh Prince will suddenly lose his mind one day and directly attack grandfather】
【And that Imperial Family Guardians also has ill intentions; the matter of the Zhenwu Guard Garrison Commander taking office cannot be delayed indefinitely】
Thinking this.
Xiao Qingyuan directly instructed the reincarnation seal.
To use the Reincarnation power brought by Xiao Qinger.
To find a way to get him a Luck Treasure, or at least, a method to obtain a Luck Treasure.
Soon.
The Reincarnation power once again cast out its hook like a fishing line.
Only this time, the Reincarnation power was stretched very, very taut, appearing very difficult.
After a long time, it finally brought back something.
It dropped into his arms with a thud.
"It's a box?"
Seeing this, Xiao Qingyuan quickly opened it with surprise to examine.
Did it directly give me a finished product?
However, the next second, Xiao Qingyuan's surprise receded, and he instantly became expressionless.
In the middle of the box, it was neither copper nor iron, not the imagined treasure, or Jade Slip, or similar items.
There was only a tattered scroll of parchment inside.
Xiao Qingyuan was utterly speechless.
【Little Seal, no, I gave you such a big Reincarnation power, and you give me this?】
【Parchment? Do you want to take a closer look at what you actually brought back to me?】
【What era is this? You give me parchment?】
【How much can this record?】
Xiao Qingyuan opened it with a frantic expression.
But soon, he changed his tune.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Qingyuan initially casually flipped through the contents of the parchment. Soon, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and by the end, he actually shot up from the ground with a 'whoosh'.
"This is actually a set of methods for refining a Luck Treasure tailor-made for me! Once completed, it can not only greatly increase the power of my Lifebound Treasure, giving it offensive capabilities, but also continuously upgrade as the Immortal Clan's Luck increases!"
Xiao Qingyuan, in disbelief, read the contents of the parchment over and over again.
The method was short and not difficult to learn.
Xiao Qingyuan firmly memorized it in his mind.
Immediately after, he burned it.
This thing was a bit too sinister!
Finally, he conjured his first Lifebound Treasure, the gourd, and gave a wry smile.
This was too difficult!
"The combination of a Lifebound Treasure and a Luck Treasure can not only suppress the Immortal Clan's Luck but also suppress one's own Luck.
The first condition is that a Lifebound Treasure below the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot be refined. In other words, one must achieve Heavenly Foundation Establishment and coincidentally possess a growth-type Lifebound Treasure.
The first condition I've already met is as difficult as ascending to heaven for others.
This is practically making sure I can't complete it!"
Xiao Qingyuan played with the gourd, lost in thought for a long time.
I'll do it!
