Chapter 1457

Just when the Guardian Spirit was killed by the combined efforts of Tang Ruoqing and Zhong Kui, Yang Junshan finished off two of the Tiger Spirits in the air.

Just as Yang Junshan had absorbed and refined the metal-elemental essence of the two Tiger Souls, and just as he felt that the Lung Qi was already a step closer to perfection, he heard a conflict between Tang Ruoqing’s and Zhong Kui’s words from within the valley. When he looked down, he was instantly attracted by Zhong Kui’s True South longsword.

The sword had surrounded the ball of essence from the beast spirit core. As it spun around the ball of essence, it was continuously absorbing the ball of essence and killing intent. Moreover, the sword was slightly trembling, as if it was emitting joyous sounds.

This caused Yang Junshan to be extremely surprised. If he remembered correctly, Zhong Kui’s True Nan Sword was already a low grade immortal equipment during the great battle in the Heavenly Star Region.

Yang Junshan had been a Golden Immortal for a long time, so he had a rough understanding of the situation of the Great Universal World’s fairyland cultivators.

In short, the majority of Primordial Immortal still had high expectations for immortal equipment. Even among the Golden Body Immortals, there were plenty that used their life treasures and daoyin apparatus s. However, there were still many that possessed a single immortal equipment.

During the battle between the eight Golden Immortals, three of them had appeared. This was very eye-catching, but in the end, it was all because of the eight Golden Immortals. They were powerful existences even among cultivators of the same level.

But even with Zhong Kui’s strength and the background of the Ghost Clan, he was still qualified to have a low grade immortal equipment. However, Yang Junshan felt that if he had a mid grade immortal equipment, it would be a disaster for him.

As long as one looked at the of the Circulatory World, a dignified existence of the Dao level, even if it was in the entire Starry Sky Great World and was a world-shaking figure, the Haotian’s mirror in his hands was only a middle-grade immortal equipment.

From this, one could see the rarity of middle-grade immortal equipment.

The second thing that Yang Junshan was surprised about was that it could upgrade from a low quality immortal equipment to a medium quality immortal equipment. Was it that simple?

Yang Junshan knew that this was not the time for internal conflict, thus he opened his mouth to interrupt the two of them, and at the same time asked curiously: “Mr Zhong’s sword, could it be that it will be upgraded to a middle grade immortal weapon?”

When Yang Junshan’s words came out, the tense atmosphere between Tang and Zhong instantly dissipated. Tang Ruoqing was even more bewildered as he looked at the southern sword that was devouring the metal element in the air.

Zhong Kui was stunned when he heard this. He patted his head and said, “How is this a middle-grade immortal equipment? What virtue or ability does I have to have a middle-grade immortal equipment?”

As Zhong Kui spoke to here, a trace of happiness and complacency appeared in his eyes. He said, “However, I’m afraid that I’ll soon have my first immortal weapon. Even though it’s just a low-grade immortal weapon.”

Yang Junshan asked in surprise after hearing this, “The first? Isn’t Mr Zhong’s True South sword already a low-grade immortal equipment? “Before, in the Hua Tian Star Region …”

“Hehe,” Zhong Kui’s chuckle interrupted Yang Junshan’s inquiry, “At that time, it was only a secret technique of the Ghost Clan cast by Zhong Kui, who was able to attach a strand of his own origin aura to the life treasure, allowing it to improve its own quality in a short period of time. This is why it was able to match up to the immortal equipment in the opponent’s hands, but was actually able to hide it from you, Taoist Yang.”

“Of course,” Zhong Kui pointed his finger towards the southern sword, which was getting fatter and fatter, as his own vital essence poured into the sword. The sword vibrated with an obvious sense of joy, as if the spirit of the sword had increased greatly, and he continued, “This is also because my southern sword’s quality has already reached the peak of a Superior Grade daoyin apparatus. Otherwise, the gap between a daoyin apparatus and an immortal is too deep, and just with my secret art, I might not be able to allow the southern sword to cross this gap.”

Hearing that, Yang Junshan suddenly understood, and witinge of envy he laughed: “I have to congratulate Master Zhong, it seems like the time has come for the True South Sword to truly advance to a low-grade immortal equipment.”

Zhong Kui laughed loudly and said, “There is still a long way to go, still a long way to go. This time, I have received an extremely pure source energy nourishment and can be considered to have met the requirements for a qualitative change. But if I want to cross that threshold, I will need to recuperate for another three to five years before I can do anything I want.”

Yang Junshan also laughed, “It’s only been three to five years, isn’t it?”

At this time, Tang Ruoqing’s ill-timed voice rang again, “Compared to Fellow Daoist Zhong’s life sword which will be promoted to a Divine Artifact in the future, I am more curious about what kind of treasure you have obtained in this valley.”

When Tang Ruoqing said this, even Yang Junshan became curious, however, it was still true that Yang Junshan and Zhong Kui’s relationship was not bad, and in the end, Zhong Kui had taken the initiative to bring Yang Junshan in. Although Yang Junshan had some precautions and tricks up his sleeve, it was still not good to directly investigate Zhong Kui’s secrets.

However, contrary to Yang Junshan’s expectations, Zhong Kui chose not to conceal what he had just done after pondering for a moment and honestly brought out the treasures that he had obtained.

“This iiece of Origin Stone that is treasured by the White Tiger. This Zhong’s biggest purpose in coming to the White Tiger Secret Realm is to obtain this item.” Zhong Kui took out a Five-Colored Stone the size of a palm and held it in his hand.

“What, Origin Stone?” Even with Tang Ruoqing’s zombie face, hearing that, it was difficult to control the excitement in her heart. She could not help but ask: “Legend has it that the Origin Stone was able to form the foundation of the five energies in my chest?”

When Yang Junshan looked at the Origin Stone, his expression changed again and again, looking extremely complicated.

Zhong Kui glanced at Tang Ruoqing, and unhesitatingly kept the Five-Colored Stone in his hand, saying, “You’re overthinking it. The Origin Stone is not as powerful as the legends say!”

Seeing the disbelieving look on Tang Ruoqing’s face, Zhong Kui pointed at Yang Junshan and said, “For tens of thousands of years, there has only been one method that has been able to directly cast the Five Elements Foundation in my chest. That is, to choose the Path that will become a Saint like Taoist Yang, otherwise, under any circumstances, it would be difficult to cast the Five Elements Qi in my chest.

Tang Ruoqing saw that Zhong Kui had made his decision, and asked suspiciously, “Then why are you looking for Origin Stone s?”

Zhong Kui looked at Tang Ruoqing with amusement, “Although Origin Stone is unable to cast the Five Elements Foundation, it is still possible to directly open the foundation of one of the five elements. If one is lucky, it is even possible to cast the foundation of the two elements directly.”

“After all, for the majority of the Golden Immortals, opening the foundation of one’s five energies is much more difficult than cultivating one of the five energies in their chest to mastery.” After all, for the majority of the Golden Immortals, opening the foundation of one’s five energies is much more difficult than practicing one of the five energies to mastery. Zhong Kui continued.

Tang Ruoqing couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Zhong Kui’s words revealed the true problem facing the majority of the Golden Body Immortals, which made him feel somewhat sympathetic.

After a while, Tang Ruoqing suddenly reacted, with a bitter and complicated look on her face, and said: “If that’s the case, then congratulations in advance!

Zhong Kui smiled. His expression was filled with an indescribable color as he pointed out, “It’s still too early. I don’t have any hopes of being able to connect to any more Five Elements Fountain. As long as I can open and forge one of them, I’ll be satisfied.”

“You two, although it is a bit inappropriate, I would like to say that this does not seem to be the appropriate place to discuss these matters.” Yang Junshan’s tone was a little stiff.

“I’m sorry!”

“I’m a bit too proud of myself!”

The two of them could both see that Yang Junshan’s current mood was somewhat bad. Strangely, both Tang Ruoqing and Zhong Kui apologized to Yang Junshan for the cold attitude he displayed.

However, the reason why Yang Junshan was not in a good mood was not because of jealousy or anything else, but because he recognized the Origin Stone that Zhong Kui had revealed earlier.

Not only did Yang Junshan recognise Origin Stone, he even owned one before, and the one he owned was much larger than the one in Zhong Kui’s hands!

However, the Origin Stone that he owned before, the rare treasure that could directly help the Golden Immortal open his cultivation base, had already been used by Yang Junshan as the foundation for the Five Elements Lightning Light Dao Formation.

That’s right, it was used by Yang Junshan to set up a formation!

Back then when he had obtained this item on the Heavenly Constitution Island, he did not know that the Origin Stone had such an amazing function. Furthermore, even if he knew, he was afraid that he might not be able to understand it.

At that time, Yang Junshan was at most a low-level cultivator who had just advanced, and with Circulatory World, other than Sector lord, he didn’t even have a single Golden Body Celestial Sovereign. With Yang Junshan’s identity and status at that time, how could he understand the importance of Origin Stone?

Yang Junshan who was vexed, walked over to the next hidden location with Tang and Zhong, while thinking that other than this matter, he had to send a message back to the clan. Before the Circulatory World was broken up, there was one more Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures that Yang family needed to plunder, and that was the Origin Stone!

And just as Yang Junshan and the other two Golden Immortals were swimming through the White Tiger Secret Realm, somewhere on the borders of the Soaring Star Realm, Yang Junxiu, who had rushed over through the Golden Orchid Seal, was caught up in a dilemma.

Yang Junshan suddenly disappeared from her senses, but Yang Junxiu could still rely on the Golden Orchid Seal to determine the direction he went before he disappeared, and from there, he could roughly pinpoint the location of Yang Junshan.

However, just as she lost her ability to sense Yang Junshan, a strange Qi suddenly triggered the same reaction from her bloodline, and her life treasure, the Soul Slaying Blade.

But the problem was that from the direction of this unfamiliar yet cordial response, it seemed like it was different from when Yang Junshan’s aura disappeared. This made it difficult for Yang Junxiu to make a choice for a moment, after all, the feeling coming from his own bloodline was too enticing for her.
