Chapter 511: Chapter 333 Suspended Mountain Acts, Magical Treasure Takes Initial Form_2

Someone immediately came out, fawningly greeting him with respect.

“No need for idle chit-chat, where is your leader? Take me to see him.”

Xuan Yi looked disdainfully at the somewhat greasy fatty before him, and spoke indifferently.

He had always looked down upon this group of rats that only knew how to hide in the shadows.

He wondered why the one presiding over them had initially chosen to protect these creatures.

“Our leader is inside, please follow me.”

The greasy fatty seemed to be oblivious to Xuan Yi’s strong disdain, continuing to speak obsequiously.

“Then lead the way.”

Xuan Yi followed the greasy fatty into the village, and couldn’t help but frown after a short walk.

The village was filled with skeletons and animal mummies, giving off a terrifyingly strange aura.

Many cold eyes peeked out from the dark houses around, making Xuan Yi feel quite uncomfortable.

“Master Xuan Yi, what’s wrong?”

The greasy fatty saw that Xuan Yi had stopped and quickly asked.

“Hmph!”

Xuan Yi snorted coldly, and his kasaya suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

The next moment, suppressed screams came from the dark houses to both sides.

The greasy fatty’s face changed drastically and he cursed, “You blind fools, do you think you’re worthy of gazing directly at Master Xuan Yi? I’ll deal with you later!”

Then he returned to bowing and nodding to Xuan Yi, “Master Xuan Yi, please don’t bother with these blind things. I’ll punish them later. Don’t let this delay your important matters.”

Xuan Yi said nothing, continuing forward with an expressionless face.

With his stature, a slight punishment was enough; he was not about to argue with a bunch of rats.

After all, he still needed to use these rats to do his bidding.

Following the greasy fatty, Xuan Yi finally arrived in front of a tall wooden tower.

“Master Xuan Yi, our leader is inside, waiting to welcome you.”

The greasy fatty gestured with his hands, but did not move forward.

Xuan Yi, fearless, stepped into the tower.

However, he couldn’t help feeling dissatisfied.

A dark rat leader, who could barely survive under the protection of their Suspended Mountain, dared to put on airs in front of him.

If it wasn’t that he still needed these rats to do something, he would have lashed out already.

Entering the tower, Xuan Yi saw a black silhouette standing with its back to him, hands behind its back.

Its presence was faint and elusive, making it hard for even Xuan Yi to discern whether the person was real or an illusion.

His heart tightened, realizing that the person before him was of a higher Cultivation Realm.

The black silhouette was looking at a painting on the wall.

The painting depicted a massive black demon holding double forks, like a king from the netherworld, exuding a mysterious and strange aura.

“It’s rare for a distinguished guest from the heavens to visit. Wuxing has failed to meet you from afar, and I hope Master Xuan Yi will forgive me.”

The black silhouette turned around, revealing a radiant smile to Xuan Yi.

“Wuxing, cut the chatter; I’m here on business that I need you to handle.”

Although he felt the higher Cultivation Realm of the black silhouette,

Xuan Yi still didn’t show much kindness, only speaking coldly.

“May I know what matter from the mountain requires the assistance of us lowly people?”

The black silhouette still smiled, seemingly indifferent to Xuan Yi’s attitude.

“A while back, my brothers Xuanming and Xuan Nu, along with some disciples and some from your Wujian Building, went to the outside world to compete for fortunes.

Now there has been an accident, and they are missing.

I need your Wujian Building to send more people out to ascertain the whereabouts of brother Xuanming and the others,

and to find out what major events have occurred in the outside world in recent days.”

“Brother Xuanming and the others are missing?”

The black silhouette seemed surprised, apparently unaware that Xuan Yi had come for such a matter.

Could it be that there was a power in the world daring to oppose Suspended Mountain?

“Indeed, not just brother Xuanming and the others, but also those Wujian Building disciples who followed are without any news.

So when you send people out this time, you don’t need to do too much, just find the whereabouts of brother Xuanming and the rest.”

A chilling realization dawned upon the black silhouette.

Judging from Xuan Yi’s tone, it seemed that Xuanming and the others were likely to be in a dire situation.

He suddenly grasped the seriousness of the matter.

“Rest assured, Master Xuan Yi, I will arrange for people immediately.”

Xuan Yi nodded, “After you’ve selected the people, have them wait by the Boundary Gate, someone will send them out when the time comes.

Remember, upon leaving, the priority is to ascertain the whereabouts of Xuanming Brother and the others.

Do not engage in any unnecessary affairs, or you will bear the consequences!”

Having said this, Xuan Yi turned and walked out of the tower. Led by a greasy fat man, he headed out of the stockade,

as if staying any longer would be a desecration to him.

Standing in front of the tower, watching Xuan Yi’s departing figure, a black shadow in his eyes revealed an indescribable expression.

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared beside him.

“Tower Master, it seems that Suspended Mountain is paying us less and less regard.

For a mere Qi Refining Minor Success to strut around in Wujian Building and disrespect you…”

“People must bow under the eaves. What can we do?” the black shadow sighed.

“They are esteemed disciples of Suspended Mountain. Any of those old monsters on the mountain could crush us with just a finger.

Not to mention that they hold the keys to this realm’s entrances and exits.

If you were them, you would also be arrogant.”

The strange figure fell silent.

Because he knew that what the Tower Master was saying was the truth.

After a while, he said, “Then Tower Master, what do you think about what Xuan Yi just said?

Is it really possible that someone dared to strike against the people of the Suspended Mountain?

Could it be the people from the other Three Great Secret Places?”

“Who knows, but clearly, the changes in the outside world are far beyond our expectations.

Even Suspended Mountain cannot fully control the situation, and this, for us, is an opportunity.”

The strange figure’s spirit lifted, “Tower Master, are you saying…”

“This time, you are in charge of leading the team out. Remember, there’s no hurry to come back.

This is a rare opportunity to gather information from the outside world; make sure to seize it.

Once the situation in the outside world is clear, it won’t be too late to return.”

The black shadow began to give instructions.

“Yes, I understand.” said the strange figure respectfully.

“Go, you choose the personnel yourself, pick the clever ones.

This may be our only chance to break free from the control of Suspended Mountain.”

…

Lu Qing knew nothing about what was happening in the secret land of Suspended Mountain.

At this moment, he was focusing his efforts, invoking the power of the Leaving Fire Tripod, refining his own unique restriction inside a grey gourd.

And it had reached the final stage.

As the last restriction was set, the gourd suddenly emitted a burst of dull grey light.

This grey light was different from the deathly plague grey light of the Plague Elder.

It was filled with a mysterious aura, encompassing and evolving all things.

As the grey light slowly receded, the Leaving Fire Tripod spat out the gourd, which landed in Lu Qing’s hand.

“This one has truly mastered the secret Artifact Refining techniques of Li Huo Sect.”

Yan, who had been watching Lu Qing refine the grey gourd from beginning to end, was now certain that Lu Qing had truly inherited the Artifact Refining true teachings of Li Huo Sect.

And he had also reached a very profound realm.

In terms of refining techniques alone, even when compared to some of the True Disciples of Li Huo Sect in the past, he was not inferior.

“Congratulations, Young Master, on successfully refining the Magical Treasure.”

Seeing the gourd land in Lu Qing’s hands, Yan immediately offered his congratulations.

“It’s just a preliminary refinement, far from finished.”

Lu Qing, however, shook his head, his face showing no pride.

His Cultivation was still too weak after all.

Even with the power of the Leaving Fire Tripod, he had only barely managed to refine a few layers of restrictions into the gourd.

So at present, this gourd Magical Treasure was in its infancy.

To fully refine it was still a long way off.

He would need to advance his Cultivation further to continue perfecting the refinement.

Nevertheless, even though it was only a prototype, Lu Qing could feel the extraordinariness of the gourd in his hand.

He activated his Superpower, peering into the gourd.
