80: Chapter 80 Heavenly Inquiry Hall, 100000 Immortal Crystals
80 -80 Heavenly Inquiry Hall, 100000 Immortal Crystals
“Innate Spiritual Treasure…” Xu Feng muttered, a term so high-level that he had only seen it in novels in his past life.
“Hall Spirit, please test and determine the most suitable cultivation technique for my brother’s talents,” Xu Ming respectfully looked up and said to the hall.
A beam of Spirit Light enveloped Xu Feng, scanning him from top to bottom.
A sensation of being thoroughly seen washed over Xu Feng.
However, he was prepared, as his younger brother had already informed him about the process of matching cultivation techniques before coming here.
“Talent average, Three Spirit Roots, primary Wind and secondary Fire, suitable cultivation technique: Circulation Wind Spirit Technique.”
A mechanical voice sounded, followed by the appearance of a Jade Book linked with chains of causality in Xu Feng’s mind.
The cover clearly displayed ‘Circulation Wind Spirit Technique.’
A deeply mysterious feeling emerged in Xu Feng’s heart.
“Just by opening this Jade Book, it’s akin to making a life oath to cultivate it,” Xu Ming explained.
“Understood,” Xu Feng nodded, planning to return to his Cave Mansion to cultivate.
“We’re not done yet, follow me to the Treasure Vault to get a set of clothes and dedicated Magic Treasure from Taichu Sacred Land.”
Xu Ming then led Xu Feng to another grand hall.
“This Treasure Hall isn’t another Innate Spiritual Treasure, is it?” Xu Feng curiously asked.
“There aren’t that many Innate Spiritual Treasures.
However, there are a few dedicated Artifact Spirits maintaining and protecting the operations inside.”
At that moment, a traditional display appeared before them, revealing two sets of clothes and two Treasures.
“One set for everyday combat, the other for wearing during major ceremonies,” Xu Ming introduced.
“It’s indeed Taichu Sacred Land, even the clothes provided to its disciples are of High Grade Treasure level,” Xu Feng exclaimed in admiration.
“From now on, big brother, you can stay in Taichu Sacred Land and peacefully raise Xiao Jin, and when the day comes for you to emerge, you will surely astonish everyone.”
He had almost completely guessed his elder brother’s combat capabilities.
“By that time, Xiao Jin will definitely grow into an unparalleled Immortal Beast, and you can bring Xiao Jin along when you fight,” Xu Feng chuckled.
“By the way, do you have a place here that helps solve difficult problems, like identifying something or breaking a seal?”
He thought of the Nine Palace Jade Toad sealed in crystal.
“Yes, Taichu Sacred Land is most famous for having Heavenly Inquiry Hall, which is also an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It is said to be able to solve any problem in the world.”
“There’s just a branch projection of it here; I’ll take you, big brother.”
Along the way, the Outer Disciples stationed here all smiled and greeted Xu Ming warmly, showing he was quite popular.
“All these Outer Disciples hail from this Immortal Domain, and they are very polite,” Xu Ming said with a smile, having a very good impression of Taichu Sacred Land thus far.
“That’s for sure; core disciples of Taichu Sacred Land are said to at least become powerful Golden Immortals in the future.”
“With such potential like yours, not being polite would either mean arrogance or folly.”
The two brothers were chatting when they arrived at the Heavenly Inquiry Hall.
As Xu Feng saw the three characters on the plaque, his soul felt dizzy and Divine Thought nearly got drawn in.
However, he quickly recovered moments later and followed Xu Ming into the Heavenly Inquiry Hall.
“Big brother, your soul and spirit are so strong and resilient.”
“When I first came here, I stood at the door for a full hour before recovering,”
“The Heavenly Immortal who brought me said my reaction was relatively quick, but I didn’t expect big brother to recover even faster.”
“That’s why I can be your elder brother~”
Inside the Heavenly Inquiry Hall, the center was a main hall with several small rooms around.
“Big brother, you can pick any room and enter.
Each disciple is granted three chances upon joining,” Xu Ming explained.
Xu Feng nodded and chose the closest room to enter.
The moment he stepped into the room, his body felt as though it was suspended in the starry sky.
Space was shifting, and at this moment, Xu Feng felt as though he was standing amidst a dazzling galaxy.
“Young one, what do you wish to inquire?” A nebulous voice echoed.
A Nine Palace Jade Toad sealed in crystal appeared in Xu Feng’s hand.
“Elder, how can I resurrect the Nine Palace Jade Toad?” Xu Feng asked.
From the moment he had obtained information about the Nine Palace Jade Toad, he knew he had to revive this little creature.
A Nine Palace Jade Toad, carrying nine palaces on its back, each capable of harboring a life as a puppet, but the puppet can retain all memories of its past life though it must serve the Nine Palace Jade Toad for its entire life.
“I thought this exotic beast had been extinct in the Immortal Realm.”
“To resurrect it is quite simple, a basin of Vitality Essence, then place this crystal into it.”
“Let me remind you, this being an ancient exotic beast, fully controlling it may pose quite a challenge.”
After these words were spoken, the surrounding stars began to change.
Once Xu Feng regained his senses, he found himself inside a spacious room.
“A large basin of Vitality Essence, I wonder how costly this item is.”
Xu Feng stepped out of the room to see Xu Ming waiting outside.
“Big brother, let’s head back.
We can visit the ruins another time.”
“Let’s go,” Xu Feng nodded.
As they were leaving, they encountered two distinguished disciples from the Taichu Immortal Sect.
Their glances towards Xu Ming were cold, and even more so, filled with disdain.
“Little brother, it seems your days back at Taichu Sacred Land won’t be very peaceful,” Xu Feng turned his head to glance at the backs of the two men.
“That’s quite normal; envy is a sign of competence,” Xu Ming responded indifferently.
In a Dao Artifact Spirit Boat headed towards the Stone Gate, Xu Feng took out a communication device specific to Taichu Sacred Land and sent a message to the middle-aged plump manager.
It didn’t take long for Xu Feng to receive a reply.
“Distinguished guest, one drop of Vitality Essence for one Immortal Crystal.”
Xu Feng stared at the message, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
A large basin of Vitality Essence, Xu Feng casually calculated to be at least 100,000 drops, or 100,000 Immortal Crystals.
“It’s a long and arduous road ahead~” Xu Feng sighed.
“What’s wrong, big brother?” Xu Ming asked, puzzled.
“Do you have 100,000 Immortal Crystals to lend me?” Xu Feng asked straightforwardly.
“I only have 10,000, and I gave it all to mom,” Xu Ming spread his hands.
“Then you can’t solve my worries.”
Time flew by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five years, Xu Feng was either raiding ruins or on his way to them.
Although he didn’t gain any inheritances, he acquired plenty of other valuable items.
He obtained two Dao Artifacts, and countless rare and spiritual objects.
The brothers stood above Yunluo City, watching the mortal-level area of the Stone Gate slowly closing, their eyes reflecting a complex emotion.
“Such a great place, who knows when we’ll encounter it again,” Xu Feng said, looking at the balance on his Immortal Jade Card.
After these five years of effort, his balance in the Immortal Jade Card successfully reached 570 Immortal Crystals, rounding off still 100,000 Immortal Crystals short of his target.
“Big brother, in a month, there will be a Spirit Boat returning to Taichu Sacred Land.”
