151: The origin of Ye Qingshan! No main sacrificial vessel!
“Ye Qingxuan?”
When Lu Xuan heard this name, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He hadn't expected this person to be Ye Qingshan's daughter.
When Li Yanran left Baidao Prefecture, she had mentioned a few words to him, asking him to look after Ye Qingxuan.
“Alright, I understand.”
Since that was the case, then this Ye Qingxuan would also be listed as a key training target for the Fu City Blackbird Guard, receiving the same treatment as Liang Cheng.
Ye Qingshan was overjoyed to see Lu Xuan agree.
This was the only way he could help his daughter.
“Oh, right, Lord Lu!”
“This E Level bizarre, this subordinate believes there are some strange aspects to it.”
“It shouldn't appear in An Prefecture.”
Lu Xuan was startled upon hearing this; he didn't understand Ye Qingshan's meaning.
“An Prefecture is located in the Southern Region, and it's very far from the Imperial Capital.”
“Therefore, it's absolutely impossible for extraordinary bizarre of E Level or higher to appear there.”
“Because the further away from the Imperial Capital, the lower the Rank of the extraordinary bizarre that appears!”
“And the extraordinary bizarre that appeared today clearly far exceeded a typical E Level bizarre.”
“Its bizarre domain even covered the entire county, and the strength of its Yin Qi is the strongest this subordinate has ever seen!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's gaze towards Ye Qingshan changed, becoming more serious.
How could Ye Qingshan, a mere county magistrate, know such detailed information about extraordinary bizarre?
What Ye Qingshan said, Lu Xuan naturally also knew.
As for why extraordinary bizarre of E Level or higher wouldn't appear in the Southern Region?
That was because the Southern Region was very far from the Lingxu Land.
The Lingxu Land of the Imperial Capital was the fundamental reason affecting the Rank of extraordinary bizarre.
Ever since Lu Xuan learned this information, he had been quietly waiting for Li Chengfeng's return.
When Li Chengfeng returned to Baidao Prefecture, that would be the time for Lu Xuan to go to the Central Region Imperial Capital.
Only in the Central Region would extraordinary bizarre appear.
Lu Xuan was now somewhat curious about Ye Qingshan's identity.
This Ye Qingshan, a Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm, was actually living in a small county like Qingyun County.
Regarding Lu Xuan's confusion, Ye Qingshan seemed to recall some past events, and a melancholic expression gradually appeared on his face.
“Lord Ye, it seems your background is not simple; how do you know these things?”
“Alas, Lord Lu, to be honest with you, my real name isn't Ye Qingshan, but Xu Zheng!”
“I come from the Xunfeng Courtyard of the Great Xia Academy, and I am a True Disciple of Dean Liu Fengtai.”
.........
Half an incense stick of time later, Lu Xuan finished listening to Ye Qingshan's various past experiences.
Twenty-five years ago, this Ye Qingshan was originally a student of the Great Xia Academy.
Due to his decent Martial Dao Aptitude and outstanding talent, he was accepted as a closed-door Disciple by Liu Fengtai, the Dean of Xunfeng Courtyard.
It was just that later, Ye Qingshan, being young and impetuous, seemed to have written some negative remarks about the Luo Family, one of the Eight Great Families of the Imperial Capital.
If he had only read them himself, that would have been understandable.
However, this Ye Qingshan, unafraid of death, even posted these things outside the Great Xia Academy.
As a result, as one could imagine, this Ye Qingshan attracted the attention of the Luo Family.
On the same day, a total of five Martial Artists of the Inner Qi Realm assassinated Ye Qingshan on the street.
However, Ye Qingshan was saved by a mysterious powerful individual who happened to pass by, and he was casually thrown back into the Great Xia Academy.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingshan's Revered Master, Liu Fengtai, immediately confined Ye Qingshan.
It wasn't until two years ago, after Ye Qingshan's wife unexpectedly passed away, that Ye Qingshan was greatly struck and released by Liu Fengtai.
Furthermore, Liu Fengtai even used his own identity to secure the position of Qingyun County Magistrate for Ye Qingshan.
And why Liu Fengtai, the Dean of Xunfeng Courtyard, cared so much about Ye Qingshan was because Ye Qingshan's wife was his daughter.
“Lord Lu, this is also why this subordinate knows so much.”
The Great Xia Academy, as the number one academy in the Great Xia Dynasty, naturally had records of various secrets in the world.
Coincidentally, the information about those extraordinary bizarre was recorded in the books of the Great Xia Academy.
Eight Great Families, Luo Family?
Lu Xuan secretly noted this name in his heart.
He had now finally obtained some more information about the Eight Great Families of the Imperial Capital.
Of course, Lu Xuan had no intention of asking too much about the Luo Family.
After all, the Luo Family and Ye Qingshan had a deep blood feud, and Lu Xuan understood the importance of discretion.
The most urgent task was to first understand why this E Level bizarre appeared in Qingyun County.
“Lord Ye, then what do you think is the Origin of this E Level bizarre?”
“Unless someone brought this E Level bizarre from another place.”
“This subordinate suspects that someone used a sacrificial artifact to seal that E Level bizarre and brought it from the Central Region to An Prefecture in the Southern Region.”
As soon as Ye Qingshan uttered the words 'sacrificial artifact', Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed, staring at Ye Qingshan.
“Sacrificial artifact!”
“Lord Ye, is that true?”
“Is there actually something in this world that can seal those ghostly things?”
Sacrificial artifact again!
Lu Xuan had only heard of sacrificial artifacts from Li Chengfeng and Mo Ronghua.
Now, Ye Qingshan also spoke to him about sacrificial artifacts.
Moreover, he revealed a secret that greatly shocked Lu Xuan.
Extraordinary bizarre could actually be sealed by those so-called sacrificial artifacts.
Wait!
Sealed?
The word 'sealed' suddenly reminded Lu Xuan of the bronze bowl.
Lu Xuan remembered that the System panel had once prompted him that the Heaven and Earth Origin was in a sealed state, and extraction failed.
Could it be that the so-called bronze bowl was a sacrificial artifact?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xuan's eyes gradually became fervent, unable to hide his excitement.
“Lord Ye, please help me see if this item is one of those so-called sacrificial artifacts.”
Lu Xuan had no intention of hiding the matter of the bronze bowl.
Because Ye Qingshan, who came from the Great Xia Academy in the Imperial Capital, was currently the only person who could answer Lu Xuan's questions.
Lu Xuan took out the bronze bowl he had just obtained from his chest, held it in his palm, and handed it to Ye Qingshan.
However, Ye Qingshan didn't even glance at it, and directly laughed: “Lord Lu, you don't know this, but no one can recognize a sacrificial artifact.”
“The only way to confirm it is a sacrificial artifact is for a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm or higher to infuse the power of heaven and earth into it, only then can the sacrificial artifact reveal its true form.”
“Oh?”
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up; wasn't he precisely a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm or higher?
“Lord Lu, if this bronze bowl is the sacrificial artifact that sealed that E Level bizarre, then at this moment, it is an ownerless sacrificial artifact.”
“You can just infuse your Gale Force and wield this sacrificial artifact!”
“Ownerless?”
Do sacrificial artifacts also have owners?
“Only a Martial Artist who has acknowledged a sacrificial artifact through their own power can wield its might.”
“Unless the person who acknowledged that sacrificial artifact dies, or the sacrificial artifact has sealed an extraordinary bizarre.”
“As long as a sacrificial artifact seals an extraordinary bizarre, the power of the acknowledged person will be devoured by the extraordinary bizarre, and then it will become an ownerless sacrificial artifact!”
As Ye Qingshan spoke, he vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.
“Lord Lu, this subordinate might already know who did this.”
“Aside from those demonic cultists of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, no one would be willing to abandon a sacrificial artifact to seal these extraordinary bizarre.”
“Hmph, those demonic cultists of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect fear nothing but peace, and they treat life as mere grass.”
