Chapter 524 Welcoming the Ancestral Senior!
Ren hesitated; the current Ah Zi lacks a Dragon Pellet and is almost like an ordinary girl.“Yes. The Nine Dragon Palace only opens every fifty years for just three hours each time, so besides the mai...Chapter 524 Welcoming the Ancestral Master! (Fifth to Last Day, Will There Be an Explosion with Monthly Votes)
"Heh, really impressive."
Xie Yujia opened her eyes and held the slightly heavy longbow, exclaiming joyfully.
Just like how all boys dream of having a lively and cute school beauty in their youth, Xie Yujia also had her carefree and cheerful moments.
At this moment, seeing the pendant-like bronze bow ornament turn into a longbow within her spiritual energy, it was akin to most girls receiving an unexpected gift, making them very happy.
Hao Ren quietly watched her with a smile. In reality, Xie Yujia always had a lively side to her, but when she was around him, she mostly displayed the "virtuous wife and good mother" aspect of herself.
"Where did this come from" Xie Yujia, captivated by the ancient longbow, immediately asked with large eyes, unwilling to let go.
She wasn't particularly interested in swords or knives, but she had a strong liking for this longbow that could expand and shrink.
In fact, many girls liked archery. Xie Yujia was calm yet active at heart, fundamentally a girl who enjoyed sports.
"Heh heh, it's from the Dragon Deity Temple. I don't use longbows, so I gave it to you," Hao Ren said.
Regarding the之事，他隻字未提，以免讓謝雨嘉擔心。
"The Dragon Deity Temple actually gives things like this..." Xie Yujia examined the bronze妖弓，看到握手的地方有“破天弓”三個字。
實際上，郝仁送她一個小東西，她就很開心了。這淡淡的接近戀愛的感覺。
而這件東西還是一件非常好的法寶，謝雨嘉就更加喜歡了。
"Try to see if you can use it," Hao Ren looked at her and said with a smile.
"How do I use it" Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren in puzzlement.
"Your life-and-death talisman should be able to be shot out through this bow," Hao Ren reminded her.
"Mm, let me try," Xie Yujia supported the bowstring with her right hand and gathered spiritual energy; the bowstring was indeed drawn back by her.
Wearing a light yellow T-shirt and long skirt that covered her feet, she straightened up, pulling back the bowstring, exuding the demeanor of a heroic woman in ancient costumes.
Especially with her full breasts appearing even more rounded under her support and pull actions, it was hard for Hao Ren's gaze to tear away from them.
"All Laws Return to Talisman Mantra..." Xie Yujia whispered these five words.
A silver light appeared on Xie Yujia's fingertips, gradually stretching out into a slender shape.
The miraculous aspect of the All Laws Return to Talisman Mantra lies in its ability to utilize the Five Elements of heaven and earth, transforming various forms based on yin and yang, birth and death. Ultimately, it can even evolve into various magical abilities.
Similarly, Hua Ren’s Split Light Sword Shadow Art can simulate any magic tool when practiced at a high level, whereas Xie Yujia’s All Laws Return to Talisman Mantra can mimic any magical ability when practiced deeply.
The All Laws Return to Talisman Mantra completely overpowers the Split Light Sword Shadow Art in co-practicing the Five Elements.
Xie Yujia has been cultivating the All Laws Return to Talisman Mantra for some time, and although she can't control many talismans at once now, it's still quite simple for her to transform a single talisman into an arrow shape.
In the distance from Mystic Peak is another small mountain.
Xie Yujia focused intently as she aimed and released the silver talisman.
Whiz...
The arrow-shaped talisman emitted a sharp sound, slicing through with dazzling silver light at the speed of light, impacting the distant mountain peak.
Bang bang bang.
A not insignificant crater erupted from the hard rock.
Seeing the power of the silver talisman far exceeded her expectations, Xie Yujia put down her longbow and was somewhat surprised. She had even purposely not fully unleashed its power for fear that she wouldn't hit accurately...
If this were to strike a person, it would seriously injure a Core Formation cultivator.
There are six arrow slots on the longbow, meaning it can shoot out six arrows at once. If used proficiently, it could produce large-scale destructive effects.
"Keep it as a defensive weapon then," Hua Ren said. "I see you're not very proficient in summoning talismans with your palm."
Xie Yujia nodded. She disliked hurting others but this magic tool suited her well; slowly gathering spiritual energy, the demon bow shrunk to the size of a knuckle, transforming into an exquisite pendant shimmering dark gold.
Xie Yujia took out a red string from her pocket and threaded the shrunken demon bow through it, hanging it in front of her neck.
"Hua Ren, could you help me" Xie Yujia asked.
“Sure…” Hua Ren stepped forward half a step and took hold of both ends of the string.
Lulinlin and Luli were playing with two chubby snow lion cubs nearby on the grassland.
The sisters had already seen Xie Yujia testing out her magical treasures, as well as talking to Hao Ren. However, they politely refrained from interrupting "Master" and "Lady Patriarchess's" private time together.
Xie Yujia slightly lowered her head, exposing a long expanse of delicate white neck. Unlike the Tai Mountain bracelet that Hao Ren used to wear, this demonic bow could shrink down to almost weightless, making it easy to carry around as an accessory after being refined into her personal magical treasure.
Hao Ren guessed that ancient cultivators did not have jiezi spaces or Sima rings, nor was it popular to refine magical treasures into one's body. Therefore, the ability to change the size of a magical treasure and store it in a bag made sense—of course, shrunken magical treasures still required a small amount of spiritual energy to maintain.
"Alright," Hao Ren stood behind Xie Yujia awkwardly tying a knot with the red string while trying not to touch her delicate skin.
However, she was exuding warmth which still permeated into his nose.
"Mm." Xie Yujia reached out and touched the unique demonic bow charm hanging from her chest, smiling contentedly. The bronze metallic luster complemented her fair as jade skin beautifully, like a treasure placed on a jade display stand or using metal to accentuate the softness and elasticity of her chest.
“Ahem…” Xie Yujia coughed softly.
Hao Ren finally noticed that he had been staring at Xie Yujia's chest, smiling awkwardly. "I'll go check out the surrounding sects."
"Alright…" Xie Yujia blushed and nodded her head slightly. She felt a bit embarrassed when Hao Ren was staring at her chest just now.
Hao Ren quickly took flight to leave the valley's boundary. It only took wearing one demonic bow charm for Xie Yujia to look exceptionally beautiful, and he accidentally stared at her chest for several seconds without realizing it.
From what she had explained earlier, Hao Ren understood that she was integrating three small sects around them into an auxiliary branch of Mystic Peak. This would streamline the classification of spirit herbs, information management, distribution of medicinal pills, and settlement of transactions through these three sects, reducing Xie Yujia's workload so she could focus on pill-making and cultivation.
Such nearly nameless small sects existed in the Fifth Heavens by the hundreds. They were constantly at risk of being swallowed up or wiped out by larger nearby sects. Therefore, it was their good fortune to attach themselves to a "Yuanying Stage Great Cultivator" and share an ancestor or master.
They would absolutely not refuse any tasks set forth by the ancestor and would strive to complete them with all their might. In return, Xie Yujia did not treat them unfairly; she gave each of them three foundation-building pills monthly, which made them ecstatic. The so-called 100 spirit stones were merely symbolic collection—the value of three foundation-building pills could not be purchased even for 1000 spirit stones.
While Xie Yujia was generous and magnanimous, Hao Ren understood the principle that "possession brings calamity." Such public distribution of foundation-building pills would likely attract jealousy from surrounding sects, as seen in the recent attack by QiongTong Sect on Clear Sound Sect.
Worried about how Clear Sound Sect was recovering… Upon exiting the valley, Hao Ren's intentions led him to fly towards Clear Sound Sect.
"Welcome back, Master," Seeing Hao Ren suddenly appear above Clear Sound Sect, female cultivators training on the square called out in unison. Unlike the awe-inspiring shouts of soldiers from the Eastern Sea, these women’s voices were soft and particularly melodious.
Hao Ren landed steadily in the square, and Liu Yan, the leader of Qingyin Sect who heard the shouts, hurriedly came out with her disciples Wu Yan and Ye Su.
"Salute to our ancestor," seeing Hao Ren arrive, Liu Yan and her two disciples immediately wanted to kneel down.
They knew that Hao Ren was not the Great Cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, but since their ancestor hid himself away in the valley, meeting his disciple was equivalent to meeting him. The leader of Qingyin Sect did not dare to show any disrespect and addressed her as "ancestor" too.
"No need to kneel," Hao Ren quickly stopped them.
Both disciples next to Liu Yan, Ye Su and Wu Yan, had been treated with elixirs from Mystic Peak. They held great reverence for Hao Ren.
Especially Wu Yan who had seen Hao Ren unleash his power before knew that despite looking young, he was not weak at all. Her beauty far surpassed her senior sister Ye Su's but she knew she did not deserve a cultivator with such a strong background like Hao Ren, so she kept her admiration to herself.
"Just came by for a look," Hao Ren let out an imposing aura and stopped Liu Yan from kneeling before him. He then said indifferently.
A month had already passed since he took Wu Yan to Kedom Sect for justice. He did not know if any other sects had also caused trouble for Qingyin Sect.
"Ancestor, please take a seat," Liu Yan led Hao Ren aside and said, "Wu Yan, quickly bring tea for our ancestor."
“Right away,” Wu Yan, in her white robe, turned around to enter the inner chamber.
“I am currently guiding some new disciples with their sword techniques. Please give me a bit of your guidance too,” Liu Yan led Hao Ren to a shady spot under the eaves of the inner chamber’s roof and said ingratiatingly.
The arrival of this direct disciple of the Nascent Soul stage ancestor was an honor for Qingyin Sect. Liu Yan feared that Hao Ren had come to deliver his ancestor's edict, so she did not dare to treat him casually at all.
"That’s the direct disciple of the Mystic Peak ancestor..."
“He looks quite young…”
“Very strong indeed, he has already reached late Core Formation stage. It is said that even Senior Uncle Wu Yan who is in his Core Formation stage admires him very much—have you not seen how respectfully our leader treats him”
"He alone picked a fight with the Kedom Sect last month, and because of them stealing elixirs from our sect, he fought against the combined attack of 18 Core Formation-stage elders. He killed six of them with just one move."
“I heard about it too… the thousand-year-old Kedom Sect collapsed in half a month… all the elders fled and even their leader was killed…”
"Yes, because they provoked Mystic Peak... seems we made the right decision to join Qingyin Sect."
Hao Ren heard every single whisper from those newly joined disciples.
— chilly. Hao Ren activated his Concentration Formula to fend off the cold, but he managed fine. However, Zhao Yanzǐ, having lost her Dragon Pellet, shivered uncontrollably and was struggling.Hao Ren q...
