Chapter 689 - 380: Purple Sun Lock Dragon Marrow

"Heard of it? Even if you’ve heard of it, you dare to kill? Are you looking to die?"

The old beggar came over and glanced at the shopkeeper a couple of times. Seeing that the person had some vitality and was saved, he didn’t bother to pull his pants up.

Huangfu Yi was quite straightforward,

"Their faces weren’t tattooed with anything. How was I supposed to know? Besides, no matter which family they’re from, if someone deserves to die, they should be killed. What’s there to fear?"

The old beggar nodded while rubbing his chin,

"Makes sense. Let me tell you upfront, so you won’t blame me for not informing you, I also count as part of the Wang Family."

Huangfu Yi remained unfazed,

"If you want to seek revenge for the youths in your family, just come, I’ll face it."

Beggar Wang chuckled,

"Ha, being so decisive drew me out for this little incident. Naturally, you planned for that.

But I find you quite interesting, this skill of yours is extraordinary. Someone very skilled must be behind you, reversing fate, concealing heavenly mechanisms. You must be a young master out for training.

If I don’t manage to kill you this time, so be it. If I do, the repercussions will be endless. Your master’s sect will surely trouble me for a few hundred years for these two guys; it’s not worth it. Why bother?"

"Killing over a disagreement, in your noble family, is this considered a minor issue?"

Huangfu Yi sneered, lifted his iron rod, pinched a Dao Technique, ready to fight,

"No need to worry, I have no master, I’m not any young master. No one will seek revenge for me, go ahead!"

"Ah, yes, yes, all of your hundred-year cultivation is earned by your ten years of hard work, right? I understand, I understand..."

Beggar Wang rolled his eyes at him and calculated with his fingers,

"But still, under these circumstances, the karma must be resolved. Those two might be useless, but their root bones are quite decent. If they could reproduce a few more times, they’d be useful for either alchemy or soldier disintegration. You’ve ruined my plans, so I’ll need to re-select, delaying me sixty years of time, and you must compensate me."

Huangfu Yi frowned,

"Compensate you... compensate what?"

"Of course, compensate me with a Dao Seed."

Beggar Wang grinned and pulled out a longevity golden lock from a trash bag, handing it over,

"You killed two of my family, so marry into the Wang Family and have two Dao Seeds for me, and the matter will be resolved."

Huangfu Yi hesitated to speak, held his tongue, bewildered and speechless.

"I killed your family members, and you want to marry your daughter to me?"

Beggar Wang laughed,

"You kill two of my people, then return two to me, isn’t that fair and reasonable? And who said I’m marrying you to my daughter? A country bumpkin without even a marquis title, what qualifies you to marry a Wang? Truly a toad lusting for swan meat.

I only need two Dao Seeds from you, why insist on a formal marriage? You can find a married woman and have her conceive two more, isn’t that just as good? So dense."

"Uh... you... uh... me..."

Huangfu Yi found himself speechless.

Beggar Wang disregarded his stammering, directly stuffed the golden lock into Huangfu Yi’s arms,

"It’s just a simple act, what’s so hard about it? You, with your healthy physique and full energy, I don’t believe you can’t manage this?

All right, all right, I get it, I get it. You’re aiming to achieve Dao with a child’s golden body at Foundation Establishment. I see you’re close to forming your Core, let me help you further.

In the western forest, there’s a Pure Yang Supreme, Divinity Transformation Treasure, a thousand-year-old Immortal Mushroom called Purple Sun Lock Dragon Marrow. It is purple-black like cordyceps, shaped like a coiling pillar with hidden red veins, growing in the Land of Ultimate Yin, containing Pure Yang Breath. Consuming it strengthens True Yang, enhances Elixir Fire, repairs broken veins, and heals Cold Marrow.

This Immortal Fate was originally prepared by the Immortal Palace for refining Divination Transformation Pills, but was kept by the Wang Family. Now, seeing the Hedong Land about to fall to the rebel army, they sent two direct descendants to retrieve it. Since you’ve slain them both, this opportunity I’ll gift to you.

Remember, this must avoid iron, as it will turn into black water upon contact. Collect it with a Jade Blade, wrap it with Spirit Silk, and must refine it in a furnace within seven days. You don’t have the conditions, so break off the root, peel it, and consume it on the spot in the Land of Ultimate Yin, digest the Pure Yang Medicine Power with the Earth Vein. Though it’s a waste as the treasure isn’t mature, it should still grant you a hundred years of cultivation.

But go quickly, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are fleeting, miss the opportunity and it’s gone. If you manage to successfully form your Core, make sure to deal with things for me. Otherwise, for killing and seizing treasures, if the Wang Family continues to trouble you, don’t blame me."

Then Beggar Wang slung the trash bag over his shoulder and left without looking back.

Huangfu Yi was speechless for a while, wondering if this beggar really was from the Wang Family? Why did it feel a bit... like betrayal...

"Uh..."

"What’s that sound downstairs? Shopkeeper? Shopkeeper?"

"There’s the smell of blood! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

At that moment, the shopkeeper on the ground awoke gently, seemingly confused about the situation, lying on the floor wailing. Voices also arose from upstairs and downstairs. Seeing that the shopkeeper was temporarily fine, Huangfu Yi had no desire to stay and headed towards the western forest.

After all, putting aside the matter of the two Dao Seeds, the people were already killed. Not seizing the treasure would be a loss, not to mention the millennium medicine power, Divinity Transformation Treasure, such rare Immortal Fate and a hundred years’ power can’t be missed. Huangfu Yi, at the end of the day, was a poor country lad, so he searched the forest overnight for Immortal Fate.

Luckily, the beggar was clear, his fortune wasn’t bad, or perhaps the Land of Ultimate Yin wasn’t that hard to find. With his cultivation complete, his Divine Sense increased greatly. With a quick search, he spotted a deep rocky cave hidden beneath the mountains, exuding cold air and gusts of ominous wind, possibly a Demon Nest and Demon Cave.
