Chapter 299 – Fifteen Years Later, News of the Sun Treasure Crystal, Trip to Yanzhou
Guldon Guldon…
In a flash, the entire bucket of boiling water instantly turned purple.
A burst of flavor mixed with the slightest hint of fragrance instantly filled the entire cave.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hesitate in the slightest, and his entire body instantly jumped into the bucket of boiling water that had already turned purple.
Puffing and giggling-
In this instant, a thick white mist immediately rose within the cave mansion.
The terrifyingly high temperature immediately caused the surrounding rock walls to faintly take on a dark red color.
Just like that.
When the color of the water in that bucket changed back to a transparent color, Jiang Chengxuan’s surroundings all exuded a somewhat appalling pressure.
The five fingers gently pinched.
An invisible electric light surfaced in the void.
Accompanying this was a trace of terrifyingly strong wind.
At this moment, the power on his body was already far beyond the Jindan tier, reaching a point that was somewhat unimaginable by common sense.
Boom!
Once again, he tried to clench his fist.
Jiang Chengxuan had already determined that at this moment, his body refining cultivation was already infinitely approaching the fifth tier level.
Only needing a suitable opportunity, he would be able to completely make his body refining cultivation truly step into the fifth rank.
After familiarizing himself with his own state, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t have the intention of leaving the gate, but rather, he sank his heart and began to polish his own cultivation while taking out his talismanic brush, preparing to move his talisman making cultivation into the fourth rank at one go.
The time was long.
In the blink of an eye, it was already fifteen years later.
During these fifteen years, Jiang Chengxuan had not only allowed his cultivation to go further, reaching the eighth level of Jindan.
Moreover, he had also raised his talisman making cultivation to the fourth rank level as well.
And just as he had raised his talisman making cultivation to the fourth rank, the familiar system beep once again sounded in his mind.
[Ding]
[Congratulations to the host for reaching the fourth ranked talisman maker achievement, obtaining an epiphany talisman and a heaven and earth foreign fire advancement talisman].
The former’s role was needless to say.
The role of the latter was equally obvious.
By utilizing this talisman, he would be able to allow the Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame in his possession to reach an advancement.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan immediately utilized this Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame Advancement Talisman, allowing his Mori White Red Flame to successfully complete its advancement.
Boom!
Right at the moment the Mori White Red Flame completed its advancement, a terrifyingly high temperature that was enough to threaten a YuanYing cultivator was emitted from the Mori White Red Flame.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s Mori White Red Flame, its grade, had truly reached the fifth level.
If one utilized it to execute the Two Elemental Divine Flame divine ability.
Ordinary yellow level YuanYing, if they weren’t careful, I’m afraid that they would be in danger of losing their lives on the spot.
It’s almost time to go out.
Putting away the Mori White Red Flame in his hand, Jiang Chengxuan quickly stepped out of his cave.
When he came outside, Jiang Chengxuan saw Shen Ruyan, who had come out of his cave one step ahead of him.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan detected a trace of a different aura from Shen Ruyan’s body, and a flash of surprise appeared on his face.
“Ruyan, your cultivation ……”
“Uh-huh.”
Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Thanks to the help of that Fifth Order Inner Pill, it allowed me to break through my cultivation to the ninth level of Jindan one step ahead of you.”
“This is really ……”
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but have a flash of delight appear on his face.
At that moment, the couple immediately began exchanging the rewards of their respective seclusion over the years.
When they finished their exchange, they immediately called in Jiang Renyi and the others, and began to ask about some of the circumstances of their Jiang family over these years.
Through understanding, the Jiang family’s development over these years could be described as steady and progressive.
The whole was quite good.
Especially in terms of the Purple Mansion cultivators, it was surprising to see an increase of two more.
Among them, Jiang Rendao’s cultivation level had already broken through to the late Purple House stage.
Their personal disciple, Jiang Anran, was even more worthy of his Heavenly Spirit Root qualification, and in just fifteen years, his cultivation had already come to the middle stage of Purple Mansion.
According to this trend of the two of them, in another fifty years or so, they should be able to consider the matter of conjugation.
The others, their cultivation levels had similarly risen to different degrees.
It was also worth mentioning that Jiang Dongbai, who was very talented with organ beasts, was currently able to refine a peak second-stage organ beast.
According to him, as long as he was given some more time, a third-order organ beast shouldn’t be much of a problem.
And this item of organ beasts was also something that had brought huge amounts of income to their Jiang family over the years.
“That’s right ……”
At this moment, the family head, Jiang Renyi, seemed to have remembered something extremely important.
He only saw him hand over a piece of information to Jiang Chengxuan and spoke:
“Uncle you asked us to pay attention to the news about that Sun Treasure Crystal and Eternal Heavenly Crystal in the first place, and now that Sun Treasure Crystal, there’s currently news about it.
According to the news sent back by our clansmen outside, it seems that Yanzhou, which is not far from Yuzhou, will be holding an auction not long from now.
Among them should be the Sun Treasure Crystal that you want.”
As early as a long time ago, the Jiang Clan already had quite a few people who had been secretly dispatched to the regions of Yu Zhou, Kang Zhou, and other large states.
After all, the Cangnan Domain they were in was too small and remote in scope.
Cultivation resources were even more limited.
Many of the treasures that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wanted were almost difficult to find within the boundaries of the Cangnan Domain.
Therefore, it was only right to have a portion of the clan, traveling to the major states to scout for news.
As far as Jiang Chengxuan knew, the Jindan-level forces in their Cangnan Domain basically had corresponding disciples or clansmen who stayed outside all year round.
The purpose was the same as their Jiang family.
At this moment, when Jiang Chengxuan heard Jiang Renyi’s words, his heart was immediately moved.
He knew that the Yanzhou mentioned by Jiang Renyi here was a large state of about the same size as Yuzhou.
The Yan Yun Sect was no less than a Yuan Ying sect like the Hidden Sword Palace.
But if he wanted to go to Yanzhou, he would inevitably have to pass through the boundaries of North Luzhou on the way.
Even if he could be stealthy when he went over there, once he and Shen Ruyan showed up in Yanzhou, or even bid on items, they would inevitably be detected by the cultivators of North Luzhou.
At that time, between the two sides, I was afraid that they would have to do a battle.
But even so, Jiang Chengxuan still decided to head to Yanzhou.
It was really because that Sun Treasure Crystal was too important to him.
If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn’t know when he’d have to wait until afterward to get news of such a treasure.
And in terms of that level of auction alone, whether it was Jiang Chengxuan or Shen Ruyan, it was clear that neither of them wanted to miss it.
Perhaps, at that time, there would be something they needed at the auction.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan instructed something with Jiang Renyi and the others.
When it was almost time, the couple didn’t hesitate any longer, and immediately left Tai Xuan Mountain together, heading in the direction of Yanzhou.
With their current speed, the time it took to fly across a large state would no longer be like back then, when it was a year and a half.
Normally, the fastest would be more than a month, the slowest would be around three months, and they would be able to cross the range of a large state.
This time, the couple spent a total of about two and a half months to arrive at the border of Yanzhou.
Just after arriving at the Yanzhou Realm, the couple felt the rich fire spirit qi in this place.
Compared to the outside, the Fire Spirit Qi in this place was at least about 20% higher.
Moreover, this was only the outer part of Yanzhou, and it was believed that as they went deeper, the Fire Spirit Qi in this place would become even more dense.
Cultivating fire-attribute techniques or comprehending fire-attribute divine abilities in this kind of place would definitely have twice the effect with half the effort.
After continuously riding several teleportation arrays.
In between, he turned around several great Immortal Cultivation cities.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, finally arrived at the center city of Yanzhou on the third day.
Yan Yun City.
Not long after arriving at Yan Yun City, the couple noticed a few extremely subtle gazes that kept cruising back and forth over them.
This caused the two to just frown.
Without moving, the two instantly extended their divine sense.
Soon after, they detected several figures hundreds of meters away from them.
What made them feel slightly surprised was that of those several figures, the owners of two of them were even both Jindan cultivators.
This made them immediately suspicious of the identities of those few people.
Without spooking the snakes, the couple immediately followed the normal procedure and first looked for a fourth-ranked cave dwelling within this Yan Yun City to stay temporarily.
Only after that did the two of them conceal their forms together, and then quietly exited the cave residence.
Outside.
Those few people who had been following Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw that they had already entered the cave, so they didn’t intend to continue to stay longer.
Leaving one person behind, he was responsible for continuing to squat here, while the others followed the two Jindan cultivators and returned to their quarters in this Yan Yun City.
Only what they didn’t notice was that right after they returned to their residence in Yan Yun City, the figures of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan similarly appeared at this place.
Forgetting the plaque in this place, as well as the surroundings, the couple was basically certain that the ones who had just set their sights on them should be the people of the Lu Family of that Northern Lu Prefecture.
It seemed that it should have been the people of that Lu Family who had detected them when they were riding the teleportation arrays between the various Great Immortal Cities of the Yan State in the first place.
Since they already knew that someone had set their sights on them and had basically determined the identity of the other party, there was naturally no point in them continuing to stay here.
Anyway, within this Yan Yun City, it was forbidden for anyone to make a move.
It wasn’t very realistic for them, or that Lu family, to do anything.
Since that was the case, let’s wait until everyone was out of this Yan Yun City.
Thinking this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quietly left this place.
Without alerting anyone, they quietly returned to their cave residence within this Yan Yun City.
And at the same time.
When the owners of those several figures, immediately after entering their quarters here, several people looked at them.
The person at the head of them was clearly Lu Xingyun, who had traveled with Cao Xiuchun and the others to that Ten Thousand Star Sea that day.
A cultivator who had reached the False Infant Tier in terms of cultivation.
“Wan Cheng, Wan Hai, how’s it going? Any discoveries?”
Lu Xingyun instantly set his gaze and landed on those two Jindan cultivators.
The two Jindan cultivators he called Lu Wancheng and Lu Wanhai nodded with slightly excited expressions when they heard this.
“Reporting back to Ninth Uncle, we really did spot those two just now.
The news we received from those teleportation formations earlier was really not wrong.”
“Really?”
Upon hearing the two’s reply, Lu Xingyun, as well as the rest of the Lu Clan cultivators present, instantly showed joy on their faces.
One of the Lu Family cultivators, who had a slightly slimmer figure, was even somewhat unable to hold his tongue as he spoke:
“Ninth uncle, since it is certain that they have come to this Yan Yun City, then can we not directly ……?”
Saying that, he did not forget to make a downward cutting motion.
Everyone else also looked at Lu Xingyun at this time.
However, Lu Xingyun shook his head with a cautious expression.
“I’m afraid this won’t work for now.
Don’t forget, this isn’t Northern Lu City where our Lu Family is located, but rather Yan Yun City where their Yan Yun Sect is located.
Once you violate their rules here, even if you and I are members of the Lu Family, on the side of the Yan Yun Sect, I’m afraid that we won’t give much face.
Especially at a time like this when they are about to hold a large-scale auction, it’s even more important not to challenge their majesty here.”
“Then what do we do? It was so hard to meet them, could we just let it go?”
Another person present couldn’t help but open his mouth.
However, Lu Xingyun would have a calm expression this time.
He only heard him faintly say, “What’s the rush?
I just don’t believe that they came all the way to this Yan Yun City just to come here for a stroll.
If my guess is right, I’m afraid that their true purpose of coming here is to participate in that large-scale auction.
In this case, you and I just need to wait patiently.
Wait for the auction to end and for them to leave Yan Yun City.
At most, at most, in the midst of this, we’ll have someone secretly keep an eye on them, just in case.”
Upon hearing this, the group of Lu Family cultivators present finally reacted.
At that moment, each individual’s face could not help but reveal a look of realization.
“That’s right ……”
At this moment, Lu Xingyun seemed to have thought of something else.
Only to hear him continue, “That person staring at them must be good at hiding and his cultivation must not be too low.”
Saying this, Lu Xingyun immediately turned his gaze, to a rather serious-faced Jindan cultivator in the field, and said:
“Wan Ming, apart from me, you have the highest cultivation, and you are also proficient in the art of stealth, so the next stalking mission will be left to you.
After this matter is completed, I will definitely report to the family and give you the first credit.”
Upon hearing Lu Xingyun’s words, the Jindan cultivator he called Lu Wanming nodded his head.
But soon after, on his face, a look of hesitation appeared.
Only to hear him say, “Ninth Uncle, I heard that some time ago in that Cangnan Domain, there seemed to have been a trace of a YuanYing Great Demon, and it was by those two that they were held back, which is why they waited for True Lord XuanYang of the Hidden Sword Palace to go and provide support, and ultimately succeeded in decapitating that YuanYing Great Demon.
This matter still do not know whether it is true or not.
Hidden Sword Palace side, I found someone to inquire for a long time, but there is no accurate information.
I’m just a little worried now, in case that matter, the rumors are all true, wouldn’t it be a little too risky for us, if we were to deal with that couple?”
