Chapter 131: Pseudo-magic weapon, Ascension Order [Subscription Request]

"Faster, faster!"

Above the clouds, Taoist Mingjian and Taoist Mingxia, two Purple Mansion monks from the Qinglian Temple, were speeding through the air, chasing each other and using all their strength.

But the two still felt that it was too slow, and they were trying their best to push themselves as much as possible and do everything they could to speed up.

Ever since they received the message and learned that the Hualong Sect group had been discovered by Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping, the two of them rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

But they were about seven or eight hundred miles away from the scene, and some time had passed by the time they received the news.

This made them worry. When the two of them arrived at the scene, they came up empty-handed just like the previous times, and could not even see the shadow of the enemy.

If that were the case, it would be really annoying.

So the two of them hurried as fast as they could at this time, using all their strength to hurry on their way as if they were escaping for their lives.

There is a saying that goes well.

Sometimes, if you don’t push yourself, you will never know how capable you are.

Since Taoist Mingjian opened up the Purple Mansion, he has never pushed himself to the point he is today.

He had never realized that his speed could be so fast!

The journey of seven or eight hundred miles actually only took a little more than an hour.

When the two of them arrived at the scene, they saw from afar Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping trying their best to deal with the black dragon guardian.

"Phew, I finally caught up!"

Seeing that the enemy was still there, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without any orders from Zhou Mingde and the others, they quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

When the Black Dragon guardian saw the two Purple Mansion monks from Qinglian Temple, his heart sank and his face changed drastically.

Not to mention that the power of the "Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman" is almost exhausted at this time. Even if everything is intact, even if there is a real dragon here, it is impossible to win against four cultivators of the same level.

"Damn it! I'll remember this grudge. You'll regret it sooner or later!"

He glared at Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping with an unwilling look on his face and let out a low growl filled with hatred.

Then he turned around and quickly flew towards the river below.

After repeated use, the power of Zhou Mingde's green mirror talisman had been mostly consumed. The green light it emitted fell on the Black Dragon Guardian, but it was unable to retain its figure.

The blessing that the "Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman" provided to the Black Dragon Guardian was still in effect, greatly enhancing his resistance to the power of the talisman.

The other means of attack used by him and Wang Guangping were of no use to the Black Dragon Guardian who was eager to escape at this time, and it was impossible to stop him.

Seeing that the Black Dragon Guardian's escape was unstoppable, Zhou Mingde was ready to give up.

A white cold light suddenly broke through the air from a distance and accurately hit the back of the Black Dragon Guardian.

What shocked Zhou Mingde was that the dragon scales of the Black Dragon Guardian, which even third-level magic weapons could hardly penetrate, were now like paper and were torn into pieces on the spot!
Then a stream of white frost instantly burst out from the inside out, directly freezing the body of the Black Dragon Guardian into a piece of white solid ice, which fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Bang!
There was a loud bang, and the white ice fell to the ground, creating a huge deep pit on the ground.

The ice, which should have been very brittle, was not damaged at all.

Not only Zhou Mingde was stunned by this scene, but Wang Guangping was also stunned.

The two of them reflexively turned their heads to look in the direction where the white cold light came from.

But we saw Taoist Mingxia holding a white ice bow with dazzling icy light, flying towards this side with Taoist Mingjian.

"What is that? A magic weapon?"

Zhou Mingde stared at the white ice bow in Taoist Mingxia's hand, his eyes full of disbelief as he muttered to himself.

Although his voice was not loud, Wang Guangping heard it.

He immediately said in a tone full of surprise: "No, that's not a magic weapon, it's a fake magic weapon!"

As soon as the words "fake magic weapon" came out of his mouth, Zhou Mingde suddenly realized.

He quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, a magic weapon can only be activated by a cultivator at the Jindan stage, so it can only be a fake magic weapon!"

The so-called "pseudo magic weapon" is actually a treasure that has degenerated from a magic weapon!
A true magic weapon can only be activated by a cultivator at the Jindan stage.

Therefore, after a Jindan-stage cultivator passes away, no matter how powerful the magic weapon he left behind is, his descendants will not be able to inherit and use it if they do not have the Jindan-stage cultivation level.

Such a magic weapon that no one can use, no matter how precious it is, will be of no use to future generations. Instead, it may become something that brings disaster and misfortune.

Therefore, before some Jindan stage monks pass away, in order to leave behind a powerful self-defense and life-saving item for their descendants, they will erase the spirituality of the magic weapon and put it into a special spiritual liquid to dissolve the magic weapon's power, causing it to fall from the magic weapon grade.

Such a magic weapon that has had some of its power forcibly removed no longer has the power of a real magic weapon, but it no longer requires the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage to activate it.

And because its essence is still a magic weapon, its power far exceeds that of talismans, so it is called a "pseudo magic weapon" by cultivators.

The number of these "pseudo magic weapons" is much rarer than real magic weapons, and it can be said to be extremely rare.

Moreover, compared to the talismans that can be activated as soon as they are obtained, some "pseudo-magic weapons" not only require cultivators who have practiced specific skills to activate them, but also require special rituals to be used before they can be activated.

There are even some extremely special "pseudo-magic weapons" that can only be activated by people with a certain bloodline.

Therefore, many cultivators don’t even know that such a thing exists.

There are also many cultivators who, even if they see this thing, would easily make the same mistake as Zhou Mingde did just now.

Taoist Mingxia actually possessed a fake magic weapon, which forced Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping to re-examine his status in Qinglian Temple.

With a "pseudo magic weapon" in hand, even a cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion has the strength to challenge a cultivator in the late stage of Purple Mansion.

This is a precious treasure that can actually enhance a person’s combat power by a small realm out of thin air!
At this moment, the Black Dragon Guardian was shot down by an arrow and was seriously injured on the spot.

By the time he finally broke free from the white ice that had bound him, Taoist Ming Jian and Taoist Ming Xia had already arrived nearby.

When he saw the "fake magic weapon" in Taoist Mingxia's hand, his face turned pale and despair instantly appeared in his eyes.

Not to mention that he has been severely injured now, even if he goes back to the time when he just used the "Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman", he will not be able to withstand the attack of the "pseudo magic weapon". At most, he will have a chance to escape.

“I heard that the deeper you practice the Dragon Transformation Secret of the Dragon Transformation Sect, the less control you have over your life and death. So in the past, even if the high-ranking members of the Dragon Transformation Sect were captured, they would be cursed to death from a distance, and nothing could be learned from them!”

"So do you want to end it yourself, or should I do it myself?"

In midair, Taoist Mingxia held a white ice bow, her jade hands tightly grasping the bowstring, looking down at the Black Dragon Guardian with a frosty face, and her tone was also as cold as ice. Hearing her words, Taoist Mingjian, Zhou Mingde, and Wang Guangping also looked at the Black Dragon Guardian, their eyes were equally indifferent.

It has long been proven that the top leaders of the Hualong Sect are not worth capturing alive.

So even though the Black Dragon Protector is injured and surrounded now, none of them have the intention of capturing him alive.

And given the opponent's current state, he doesn't even have the strength to struggle.

There are only two paths before the Black Dragon Protector.

Either commit suicide and save some dignity for yourself.

Or be shot to death by Taoist Mingxia!

Being watched like a lamb to be slaughtered, the Black Dragon Protector felt cold in his heart and felt the true despair.

He was silent for a while, still thinking about how to escape.

But before he could think of a way to try, spiritual light had already gathered on the ice bow in Taoist Mingxia's hand, and gradually condensed into a long ice arrow.

This made him close his eyes, then open them again and say with a bleak face: "Success or failure, I accept defeat!"

After saying this, he glared with his eyes full of resentment and roared: "But don't be complacent, my Hualong Sect has been dormant for 800 years and will definitely take back what we lost!"

Whoosh!
Almost as soon as he finished roaring, Taoist Mingxia loosened his fingers on the bowstring.

Then a cold light broke through the air and instantly hit the Black Dragon Guardian's head.

"They are nothing but a bunch of stray dogs!"

"I was able to drive you out of Jingguo back then, and now I can also break your outstretched dog claws!"

Looking at the broken headless corpse on the ground, Taoist Mingxia responded to the Black Dragon Protector's words with a disdainful tone, and then casually put the white ice bow in his hand back into the storage bag.

Originally, the real magic weapon could be refined and stored in the body of a Jindan stage cultivator.

But the "pseudo magic weapon" has lost that ability.

After easily killing the Black Dragon Guardian, Taoist Mingxia turned around and looked at Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping and said, "You two Taoist friends have made great contributions in killing this beast. You two Taoist friends can each pick one of the magical weapons on this beast!"

"In addition, I will also report the contributions of the two Taoist friends to the sect. When the sect rewards you based on your contributions, there will naturally be benefits for you as well!"

She knew in her heart that although she was the one who killed the Black Dragon Guardian, Zhou Mingde and the other two also made great contributions.

So now the spoils must be divided between the two.

As for Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping, in order to hold back the Black Dragon Guardian, they almost exhausted the power of a talisman, and the loss was not small.

Therefore, when Taoist Mingxia said this, they were no longer polite.

They immediately looked at each other and said in unison: "Then we two would like to thank Fellow Daoist Mingxia first!"

Then the two of them searched the magic weapons on the Black Dragon Guardian and examined them, and then Zhou Mingde picked out the most valuable magic weapon, the dragon flag.

This can be regarded as Wang Guangping's repayment for his willingness to share the credit of the Fire God Jackal killing the missionary of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

In this battle, the Hualong Sect lost one Black Dragon Guardian, five missionaries, and twenty-three ordinary followers, which was a huge loss.

After this battle, the turbulent Lanzhou cultivation world finally calmed down.

Because he did not want to expose the fact that he had a "fake magic weapon" in his hands, Taoist Mingxia specifically instructed Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping not to disclose the matter afterwards.

Therefore, when the results of the battle were announced to the public, the process of killing the Black Dragon Guardian was simply described as follows: Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping discovered and detained the Black Dragon Guardian, and then Taoist Mingxia arrived and completed the killing.

How the Black Dragon Protector died, apart from the four people present at the time, only the Jindan stage elders of Qinglian Temple knew.

Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping, who made great contributions in this battle, also received gratitude and admiration from many Lanzhou monks as the results of the battle were announced.

The reputations of the Wang family of Hongyao Valley and the Zhou family of Jiufengling were therefore unique in Lanzhou and they became very famous.

Perhaps it is to motivate the major families in Lanzhou and create a demonstration effect.

On the seventh day after the killing of the Black Dragon Guardian, Qinglian Temple announced rewards for the Zhou and Wang families for their contributions in the operation to eliminate the Hualong Sect's detachments.

This reward seems very generous.

Among them, the Zhou family obtained a foundation-building pill and an "Ascension Order", while the Wang family obtained a foundation-building pill.

At the same time, if there is another conscription in the future, both families will be exempted from it.

The rent for the shops of the other two families in Hongyafang City will also be waived for 30 years.

"The Foundation Building Pill is easy to say, it's what I deserve. But this Immortal Ascension Order is really unexpected. I guess it's because of the effort of Fellow Daoist Mingxia!"

In the Zhongping Hall, after seeing off the Qinglian Temple disciples who came to present the rewards, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and others returned to the hall and started discussing the rewards.

The focus of everyone's discussion was the silver-white token held in Zhou Mingde's hand.

One side of the token was engraved with the word "ascension to immortality", and the other side was engraved with a green lotus pattern.

This thing called "Ascension Order" is a precious treasure used by large sects like Qinglian Temple to reward their vassal immortal cultivation families.

Anyone who holds this "Ascension Order" is welcome, regardless of their cultivation level, qualifications, or age.

Anyone can use this item to join the Qinglian Temple, and after reaching the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, they will have the right to take the Foundation Establishment Pill once to establish their foundation.

It can be said that the importance of this thing is even greater than a foundation-building pill.

If the Zhou family is willing now, they can completely use up this "Ascension Order" and send a clan member who has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining to the Qinglian Temple, and let him take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build his foundation.

If successful, the Zhou family will have an inner disciple in the foundation-building stage in Qinglian Temple.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Qinglian Temple would rather reward the Foundation Establishment Pill than the "Immortality Order".

That's why Zhou Mingde thought that it was Taoist Mingxia who made an effort to allow Qinglian to appreciate such a treasure.

After playing with the token for a while, Zhou Mingde put it away and said in a deep voice, "I'll keep it for now. We'll talk about how to use it after Daoyi comes back."

He is the supreme elder, and this thing was earned entirely by his own ability, so naturally others dare not object.

"As for this foundation-building pill..."

Zhou Mingde's gaze turned and fell on Zhou Chun.
