Huangxiu

Chapter 1186 Solution
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands and asked, "Brother Ding, have you managed to borrow the treasure?"

"General, please be merciful and agree to lend the treasure," Ding Huanchun said, "but only for half a month."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow: "Half a month..."

Ding Huanchun said bitterly, "Regardless of whether the Exorcism Division can eliminate these evil spirits within half a month, we must take back this treasure."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But even if we eliminate these evil spirits, we can't guarantee they won't sneak into the imperial city, can we?"

"Sigh..." Ding Huanchun sighed helplessly, "The General's Mansion also needs this treasure."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang.

“Actually, the way to restrain it is very simple: find a treasure that can suppress the power of the Evil Lord,” Su Lingxuan said. “But the key is that such treasures are all top-tier and already have owners.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Are there many such treasures in the imperial city?"

"As far as I know, there are at least three," Su Lingxuan scoffed. "But they all belong to the Prince; how could they possibly be lent out?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Su Lingxuan shook his head and said, "Without these treasures, it will be difficult to control this jade pendant!"

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, "I do have a plan, but I'm not entirely confident about it."

"What method?" Ding Huanchun immediately perked up and hurriedly said, "Why not give it a try?"

He had great confidence in Chu Zhiyuan, believing that if Chu Zhiyuan could help, the matter could be resolved.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I used a special method to seal the aura of the Demon-Subduing Blade into it... Brother Ding, do you have any white jade?"

"What white jade?" Ding Huanchun asked hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I want to seal the aura of the Demon-Subduing Blade into the jade pendant."

"Wait a moment," Ding Huanchun said hurriedly.

He beckoned to a city guard who came over and instructed him to go into the city to buy two jade pendants, seeking the best quality.

The young city guard agreed and dashed into the city gate.

"As for this method..." Su Lingxuan hesitated.

Zhou Chaoyang said, "Mr. Chu, your aura is indeed unusual, but to suppress the Evil Lord's will, I'm afraid..."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Even if the aura of my Demon-Subduing Blade can't suppress the will of that evil lord, it can still stimulate it. That should be enough, right?"

“…It’s definitely worth a try.” Su Lingxuan thought for a moment and nodded gently.

Chu Zhiyuan's Demon-Subduing Blade possessed a truly unique and mysterious aura, beyond imagination.

Ding Huanchun's eyes lit up: "As long as it can reveal its breath, that's enough!"

Their goal was not to suppress the jade pendant, but to discover its existence.

If there is a jade pendant, then there is something wrong with it.

The city guard moved extremely quickly; before they could exchange more than a few words, he had already returned.

"General." He floated forward and took out two palm-sized white jade pendants from his sleeve, which were smooth and lustrous as if coated with a layer of oil.

Ding Huanchun nodded in satisfaction, took the package, and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "What do you think, sir?"

Chu Zhiyuan took one, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

Everyone stared intently at him.

A moment later, the inside of the jade pendant began to shimmer with golden light, as if liquid gold was slowly being poured into it.

As time passed, the golden light inside the jade pendant grew deeper and deeper, eventually turning it into a piece of gold.

Its texture has changed completely, from warm and smooth to hard.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and handed it to Ding Huanchun: "Let's try it out and see how it works."

He floated to a distance, took out the Dustless Tear from his sleeve, and placed it on his chest.

Then it slowly approached.

Ding Huanchun held the jade pendant, feeling its warm and smooth texture, which was completely different from its appearance, and felt nervous.

If this method works, then the treasure can be returned directly to the general.

If it doesn't work, then we're in trouble.

Chu Zhiyuan walked forward slowly, while Ding Huanchun stared at the gold medal in his hand.

When Chu Zhiyuan was a meter away from him, his chest suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped and shook his head in dissatisfaction: "Too close."

Ding Huanchun was overjoyed, looking at the gold medal in his hand.

The gold medal gleamed with a hazy golden light.

He then looked at the dazzling golden light on Chu Zhiyuan's chest and laughed heartily, "Good, good, good!"

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang watched this scene with emotion.

Chu Zhiyuan took out the jade pendant.

It was emitting a dazzling golden light that was too bright to look at directly.

This golden light seemed dozens of times stronger than the soft golden light of a gold medal.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome to be able to sense something only a step away."

Ding Huanchun hurriedly said, "That's enough! That's enough! It's more than enough!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him. Ding Huanchun beamed, "Just have every citizen entering the city put on a gold badge, it's no trouble at all, very good!"

"That's fine."

Chu Zhiyuan took the other jade pendant, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

In a short while, under their watchful eyes, the jade pendant turned gold, transforming into a gold plaque, making it impossible to tell that it was made of jade.

Chu Zhiyuan handed one to Ding Huanchun: "One on each side, be careful to stay safe."

“That’s natural,” Ding Huanchun said with a smile. “The person holding the license is always ready to act.”

……

Chu Zhiyuan sat on his bed in his small courtyard, holding the Dustless Tear in his hand.

The extrasensory perception kept shining through the hole, trying to see clearly the golden light within the Dustless Tear.

This is the will of the Evil Lord. Just how strong is the will of the Evil Lord?
Can this evil lord compare to his own clone, Chu Liezhao?
With that thought in mind, he got up and left the villa, heading out of the city.

They left through another city gate and continued forward, walking for ten miles in one breath.

At the foot of a mountain, a portal appeared, and Chu Liezhao stepped out of it.

He took the Dustless Tear that Chu Zhiyuan handed him and gave Chu Zhiyuan a jade bottle in return.

Chu Zhiyuan took it and put it directly into the silver ring.

Chu Liezhao already knew that the jade bottle contained a longevity pill.

The effects of this longevity elixir are currently being tested, and no conclusions have been reached yet.

His goal was to make a comparison.

However, we haven't had the chance to obtain this pill yet; we need to find the right opportunity.

Chu Liezhao, clutching the Tears of Dust, stepped through the portal and appeared atop a mountain in the Outer Heavens.

He sat cross-legged on a boulder at the summit of the mountain, gazing at the Tear of No Dust in his hand.

A moment later, he focused his mind and poured his energy into the pendant, and the aura of the Nine Revolutions Venerable surged forth.

The jade pendant suddenly lit up, bursting forth with dazzling golden light. A ball of golden light slowly emerged, like a small sun rising.

A surge of violent power erupted instantly, colliding with his aura.

Chu Liezhao's expression was solemn as he sensed the powerful force within the golden light, which was no less than his own.

This power is still sealed within a small jade pendant; if it were to truly encounter the owner of this power, it would probably be no match for it.

I am a Ninth-Turn Venerable, and the owner of this golden light is probably a Venerable who has reached the Ninth-Turn Perfection.

He surpasses himself in terms of realm, and his true essence is also more refined and powerful.

If you encounter such a master, you must rely on your Heavenly Dragon bloodline to defeat him.

He slowly withdrew his power, and the golden light of the jade pendant gradually receded, eventually returning to its original state, becoming an ordinary jade pendant.

He stepped out of the portal, came to Chu Zhiyuan, returned the jade pendant, and then disappeared back into the portal.

Chu Zhiyuan confirmed the cultivation level of the jade pendant's owner and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nine turns is fine.

His previous concern was that he had surpassed the Nine Revolutions and reached the Spirit Venerable realm.

I just don't know if this is considered the top among the evil lords.

Compared to that immortal venerable one, who is stronger and who is weaker?

After thinking for a moment, he returned directly to the city and arrived at a quiet mansion not far from the Heavenly Sword Villa.

It was the secluded courtyard of the Guanghan Palace.

The Guanghan Palace Villa is separated from the main street by a street, making it even more secluded.

He arrived at the villa and had just given his name when Lu Xiaolu welcomed him into her own courtyard.

Lu Xiaolu's courtyard is simple and elegant, with ingenuity in every detail.

The flowers are vibrant but few in number, with only a handful nestled among the green leaves, their delicate fragrance gently wafting through the air.

In front of the flowerbed was a small pavilion, and Chu Zhiyuan was welcomed into the pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan had just sat down when Lu Xiaolu cut straight to the point: "Junior brother, the Palace Master has already sent over that ancient book."

She entered the room lightly, took a small box, and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan was not angry at all. He took it and opened it. Inside was a thick ancient book.

The ancient book is about the thickness of two blue bricks, its pages yellowed, exuding the vicissitudes of time.

He carefully took it out and began to slowly flip through it.

They quickly found the record of the Undying Evil Lord that they wanted to read.

His expression grew increasingly grave.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Isn't it scary?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at her, his expression grave, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with these records?"

“It should be true, otherwise it would have been destroyed long ago,” Lu Xiaolu said. “There aren’t many ancient books like this in our palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "It is indeed troublesome... very troublesome."
