Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 467 Yang Puti, The Destiny of the Xu Clan (8k, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"Grandfather, are you also going to the Heavenly Forging Sect?" Xu Deling was slightly surprised upon hearing this news.

"Firstly, I want to apologize. As a disciple of the Heavenly Forging Sect, I have kept you in the family all this time."

Secondly, there's the matter of the top-tier magic weapon that I agreed upon with your master, Yanlongzi.

I'll also check if the Heavenly Forging Sect has any fourth-tier spiritual herbs that I need.

The materials for the "Nine Soul Pill" include a rare fourth-tier spiritual herb that can only be produced in hot environments.

There seem to be several hot and fertile lands in the south; perhaps the Heavenly Forging Sect possesses some treasures there.

Upon hearing the name "Nine Soul Pill," Xu Deling's eyes lit up.

He had heard Xu Chuan mention it before; it was an extremely precious elixir that could greatly enhance the spiritual sense of cultivators below the late Nascent Soul stage.

"What kind of elixir is it? Your granddaughter will ask for you when the time comes."

"Yang Bodhi."

Afterwards, Xu Chuan gave Xu Mingyuan some instructions, and then he and Xu Deling went to the Demon Netherworld Palace through the teleportation array.

They then used the teleportation array there to travel a long distance and arrived directly within the territory of Xuan Yue Prefecture.

And at their speed.

Less than a day.

They then arrived at Xuan Yue City.

Then go directly to the teleportation plaza.

but.

When people use a teleportation array, they must wait for everyone to arrive before a group can be teleported at once.

Furthermore, the teleportation location is fixed each time, making it impossible to teleport to several places at once.

A fourth-tier teleportation array can teleport up to a thousand people at a time.

However, gathering a thousand people is too slow.

The Xuan Yue Sect stipulates that once two hundred are collected, the event can be activated once.

The teleportation fee is two hundred spirit stones per person, even for those at the Golden Core stage.

"Are there any teams heading to Tianzhu City?"

"Yes, senior, there are, but there are only about a hundred people at the moment. You two may leave your addresses."

Once everyone has gathered, I will send someone to inform them.

"alright."

It's really inconvenient not having your own teleportation array.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling were forced to stay for more than a day before finally arriving at Tianzhu City.

It's only been out for a short time.

Then someone called out, "Uncle-Master Feng Ling!"

Xu Deling turned his head and saw a young disciple whose cultivation level was at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

“Liu Yang,” Xu Deling said.

"I didn't expect my martial uncle to still remember me. Are you going back to the sect?"

In the eyes of ordinary disciples of the Tianzhu Sect, Xu Deling had been traveling around all these years.

Xu Deling nodded. "I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

"Take care, Uncle-Master." Liu Yang saw him off respectfully.

But he immediately relayed the message back.

Tianzhu Sect.

Zongzhu Peak, the back mountain.

"De Ling is back."

Upon receiving the message, Yan Longzi suddenly opened his eyes. "This girl, does she even know that she has two masters and such a sect?"

"Isn't this just a condition we agreed to ourselves? What's there to be upset about?"

Zhenyangzi stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "This girl's strength is now in no way inferior to that of my junior nephew Lieyang."

You should be happy with this progress.

"I was just saying it casually." Yan Longzi pouted and said, "Senior brother, do you have to take it seriously?"

She initially asked her junior disciple Lieyang to be her protector.

After returning from the ancient battlefield, his supernatural powers had reached their peak, making him unsuitable for the task.

Fortunately, that girl no longer needs a protector.

After a pause, Yan Longzi grinned and said, "Among the previous generation's prodigies, there were at most one or two people who could match her progress."

And someone comparable to a Golden Core cultivator at their peak and with greatly enhanced supernatural abilities is probably unique to her.

Xu Deling led Xu Chuan directly into the protective formation of the Tianzhu Sect, and then flew towards the sect's main peak.

"He's here too." Yan Longzi raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

“De Ling’s grandfather, Xu Chuan, must have come for the top-tier magic weapon that we agreed upon.”

After a while.

The two landed on the back mountain and walked to the front of the cave.

"Disciple Deling greets the two masters."

"Junior Xu Chuan has come to pay his respects to the two seniors."

The cave gate slowly opened.

"De Ling, Fellow Daoist Xu, please come in," Zhen Yangzi said gently.

We arrived at the main hall of the cave.

The two had been waiting for them.

Xu Chuan had sensed their divine sense probing beforehand, so he wasn't surprised.

"Master Yanlongzi, Master Zhenyangzi, your disciple has returned."

Yanlongzi said with a dark face, "You still know how to come back."

"Isn't it normal for a Golden Core cultivator to travel for several decades?"

Xu Deling walked over to Yan Longzi with a smile and offered to massage his shoulders.

“How can you be compared to ordinary Golden Core cultivators? My senior brother and I have placed all our hopes on you.”

"I understand. That's why I returned after achieving something."

"Hehe, I think you're having too much fun in your family to remember home."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Senior Yanlongzi, you've misunderstood. De Ling cultivates and studies weapon crafting almost every day."

I don't want to disappoint you two.

Now, she has few rivals below the Nascent Soul stage, and her weapon-refining skills have even broken through to the fourth level.

Only then did he feel he had the face to return to the ancestral temple and establish a new lineage.

"You're all talk, I can't argue with you. Wait, you said that there are few rivals below the Nascent Soul stage of De Ling."
His weapon crafting skills have even broken through to the fourth rank?!
It's only been a little over thirty years!

After a pause, Yan Longzi asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"How could I dare? You two will know once you examine it."

Xu Chuan finished speaking.

Xu Deling flicked his sleeves and released three of his natal magic treasures.

"Please, my two masters, appraise this. This is a top-grade natal magic weapon that I have crafted."

"It is indeed a top-grade magic weapon!" Yan Longzi's pupils shrank, and he said, "Senior brother, you are good at weapon crafting."

Take a closer look.

"The traces of its crafting indicate that it was made within the last year, making it a high-grade magic weapon that was recently crafted."

Shinyoko looked over with a smile, "There are even winged magical artifacts."

Such a superior magical artifact is difficult to refine, and the materials are even more difficult to find.

Even our own sect doesn't have one.

"These are materials that my Xu family obtained unexpectedly," Xu Chuan said, "to support Deling's art of weapon forging."

My Xu family will naturally spare no effort.

Mako nodded slightly, "Hard work has finally paid off."

Fellow Daoist Xu, your Xu family is truly blessed.

"Congratulations to you, congratulations to you," Xu Chuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute

"Put it away, and let your Master Yanlongzi test your strength again."

"Yes, Master Zhenyangzi."

The group arrived outside the cave.

Yanlongzi stood with his hands behind his back in the air, looking at Xu Deling opposite him with a smile and a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Deling, there's no need to hold back. Go all out. Let your teacher see how much progress you've made over the years."

Yanlongzi possesses some of the Yanlong bloodline, giving him an extremely wild aura.

At this moment, her red hair was flowing freely.

Xu Deling took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Disciple obeys."

As soon as she finished speaking, her aura suddenly changed.

A clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out from within her body, the sound crisp and bright, soaring straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a red light flashed behind her, and a three-foot-long crimson feather appeared.

The "Fire Phoenix Feather" merged into the phantom of the fire phoenix, making the fire phoenix completely solid.

There was a hint of intelligence in his eyes.

"I didn't know it could be used like this, not bad."

Yanlongzi's gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Xu Deling shrugged his shoulders, and two crimson fiery wings unfurled from his back.

With a wingspan of about ten feet, flames leap at the wingtips, and a gentle flap of the wings produces waves of heat.

In the next instant, she flashed behind Yanlongzi and launched an attack together with Huofeng.

Yanlongzi promptly deployed the protective shield, and on the crimson light screen, it seemed as if a fiery dragon was swimming.

Upon seeing this, Xu Deling tossed it with his right hand.

A golden mirror flew to the other side, its surface bursting with billions of beams of light.

Then, the beams merged into one, forming the light of Haoyang, which shot towards the light curtain formed by Yanlongzi.

Its power can melt gold and split stone.

"To be able to activate three high-grade magic treasures at the same time, even if it's a natal magic treasure, only a Nascent Soul cultivator should be able to do that."

Zhenyangzi was immediately surprised and turned to Xu Chuan, saying, "I suppose this is the foundation of the Xu family."

“De Ling is a core member of the Xu family, and the family will naturally do its best to cultivate him.”

Shinyoko nodded slightly.

"If it were a few years ago, Junior Brother's defensive divine power would probably have been easily broken through."

"Perfect divine power!" Xu Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, it made a breakthrough a few years ago, and its defensive capabilities are not much weaker than those of a top-grade defensive magic weapon."

“Senior Zhenyangzi, Deling also has other trump cards.”

Xu Deling's eyes flashed with golden light, shooting out two beams of light that shot directly at a certain spot on the defensive light barrier.

Then, the Fire Phoenix and the "Haoyang Mirror" were also controlled to launch a fierce attack on this place.

After a while.

A soft "click-click-click" sound rang out.

"How could this be?" Yan Longzi himself was taken aback.

After a short while, Xu Deling broke through the perfect-level defensive divine barrier.

Yanlongzi used his magic weapon to withstand the aftershocks.

“Let’s stop here,” said Shinyoko.

At this moment, Xu Deling's face turned slightly pale.

The two landed from the sky, and Yanlongzi looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

"De Ling, you really didn't disappoint us, hahaha."

With these skills, even those below the Nascent Soul stage would be able to stand out among all others.

"Master Yanlongzi, you flatter me. I am far from worthy of your praise," Xu Deling said respectfully.

Zhenyangzi stroked his beard and said, "Although you can control all three top-grade magic treasures at the same time using secret techniques, the consumption of magic power is real."

However, once you reach the Golden Core stage, this hidden danger will be much smaller.

If it is not necessary, try to use this tactic as little as possible, otherwise you will run out of magic power.

The danger is you.

"Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master Zhenyangzi."

"Of course, your cultivation of pupil techniques, which allows you to see through illusions and weaknesses, is also a major advantage."

Even most Nascent Soul cultivators haven't mastered pupil techniques or supernatural abilities.

"With such strength and magical treasures, even several Golden Core cultivators who have mastered supernatural powers could not defeat you."

You will most likely be able to get out of trouble.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, you are practically invincible.

Yan Longzi praised without reservation, "This girl will participate in the Golden Core Prodigy Battle Arena at the next Heavenly Pride Gathering."

They will surely secure another spot among the top talents!

"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu's guidance," Zhenyangzi said. "Regarding the battle of Golden Core prodigies..."

Fellow Daoist Xu, what are your plans? Will you send Deling to fight for your Xu family, or...?

"Could it be that this matter has already been decided?"

"That's right. The next Grand Gathering of Prodigies will start with the Foundation Establishment Battle, followed by the Golden Core Battle."

The specifics should be discussed with the major powers in the Blackwater region.

Even the venue for future events might be located in the Blackwater region.

Xu Chuan pondered for a moment, thinking to himself, "There are still more than ninety years until the next one, it's still early."

Then, he looked up and said with a smile, "Seniors, are you perhaps afraid that I will leave behind the De Ling?"

As a disciple of the Heavenly Forging Sect, he should naturally contribute to the sect.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xu," Zhenyangzi said with a smile.

"Actually, I came here to apologize. De Ling joined the Tianzhu Sect, but has been staying in the family for many years."

Mr. Xu felt genuinely bad about it.

Here is a pill, meant as an apology.

"What are you saying? Deling is not only a disciple of my Tianzhu Sect, but also a member of your Xu family."

If the Xu family is in trouble, she naturally has no choice but to help.

Xu Chuan smiled and took out the pill, "Why don't you two take a look? This pill is quite precious."

Xu didn't obtain it easily either.

"What kind of elixir is it?"

Yan Longzi took it, opened it, but couldn't recognize it. "Senior brother, what kind of pill is this?"
Its rank seems to be quite high.

"It should be a fourth-grade pill, but as for what kind of pill it is, I don't recognize it."

After all, we're not good at alchemy.

Fellow Daoist Xu, please stop beating around the bush.

"This is the 'Mysterious Nether Pill,' a fourth-tier pill that helps one break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

It can help weaken the Golden Core barrier, allowing the Nascent Soul to break through the core.

"Another Nascent Soul opportunity?!" Yan Longzi exclaimed in surprise, his expression incredulous.

"Although this pill is not as good as the 'Crossing Tribulation Pill,' its value is still extraordinary. We cannot accept such a precious item."

Shinyoko politely declined.

"As I said, this is my apology. If you two seniors feel bad about it, you can help me find a spiritual medicine."

This elixir is called "Yang Bodhi".

Yanlongzi paused for a moment, then gave a strange look. "You didn't specifically ask around, did you?"

"What do you mean by this, senior?"

"I recently acquired two 'Yang Bodhi' beads."

"What a coincidence?" Xu Chuan looked surprised. "Senior, please don't look at me like that."

It was truly a coincidence.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Deling. We came straight to Tianzhu Sect on our way here.

How could I possibly have time to investigate such confidential information?

"This disciple can attest to it."

"Alright, I'll trust you. Since you need this elixir, let's trade it for your 'Mysterious Nether Pill'."

Of course, in terms of value, your elixir is definitely more valuable.

However, I also need this elixir, so I can only spare one for you at most.

If there are any other medicinal herbs you desire, my Heavenly Forging Sect can assist in finding them.

“One ‘Yang Bodhi’ is enough.” Xu Chuan clasped his hands and said, “Thank you, senior.”

Xu Chuan had naturally calculated this in advance and knew that he would gain something from this trip.

I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

The [Heavenly Secrets Dao Evolution] still has geographical limitations; the farther away from Xu Chuan, the more blurred the information becomes.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to directly deduce the events in the Blackwater region, and even the events beyond the ancient Tiannan?

Yanlongzi took out the "Yang Bodhi", which looked like a small tomato and was about the size of a thumb.

But it contains pure Yang energy.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, now that you've come, you must have brought the materials needed to refine that top-tier magic weapon, right?"

Mayangko stroked his beard and said.

"nature."

Xu Chuan waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen fourth-tier materials appeared in the air.

"Senior Zhenyangzi, this is the design and refining plan of the magic weapon that I discussed with Deling."

If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to point them out.

As he spoke, he presented another jade slip.

Zhenyangzi scanned the area with his divine sense, and his pupils narrowed slightly. "The design and refining plan are not problematic."

I can easily make minor modifications to the parts that are not perfect.

"But Fellow Daoist Xu, are you sure you want to inscribe the four characters 'Heavenly Mandate Xu Clan'?"

"The word 'destiny' is not something that ordinary people can bear."

"Perhaps we'll be entangled in some karmic consequences in the unseen world." Zhenyangzi's expression turned solemn.

"Actually, I intended this magical artifact to be a clan-protecting treasure to suppress the clan's fate."

Moreover, I believe that the rise of any power is bound by a certain destiny.

"Destiny, also, implies fortune."

Zhenyangzi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "What Fellow Daoist Xu said makes some sense."

Everyone has a certain amount of luck.

The fact that the Xu family could rise so quickly suggests they have considerable good fortune and may truly deserve the title of "destined by heaven."

"Very well, I will do as you say."

"Thank you, senior."

Xu Chuan traded "Yang Bodhi" with Yan Longzi, and then inquired, "Senior Yan Longzi."

Where did you get this item from?

The younger generation enjoys collecting various kinds of spiritual plants.

"You want to transplant that Bodhi vine?" Yan Longzi immediately understood Xu Chuan's meaning.

"It doesn't have to be the whole plant; taking some rhizomes is fine too. If it can be grown, that would be great."

If that's not possible, the medicinal properties can be studied.

Yanlongzi stroked his beard, glanced at Xu Chuan a few times, and thought to himself, "Transplanting the Bodhi Vine is difficult and requires a specific environment."

It requires at least a fourth-order or higher fire-attribute spiritual vein to survive.

Could Xu Chuan really be confident?

"I know where the Bodhi Vine is; I have some connection with it."

Every time the "Yang Bodhi" ripens, they invite me over.

As for getting you a seedling rootstock, that's fine, but you'll need to offer something useful to him.

With this, plus my influence, perhaps things can be accomplished.

"May I ask how to address your friend, senior? Is there anything you need?"

"My good friend is a transformed fire crow, nicknamed Crow Taoist."

"A transformed great demon?"

"What, can't I have a great demon friend?"

"This junior is merely slightly surprised. Does that Daoist Crow have anything he needs?"

Yanlongzi pondered for a moment, "That's really hard to say. Ya Daoren is incredibly powerful; he's a mid-stage Transformation Realm Great Demon."

The Valley of Flaming Ravens, which occupies the Skyfire Mountains.

Flame Raven Valley is an extremely yang place, with several fourth-order fire-type spiritual veins, abundant in spiritual energy, giving birth to many fire-type rare and precious materials.

They seem to have no shortage of external things.

"If you truly wish to make a deal with him, I can take you there."

"Then thank you very much, senior. I originally planned to return to the Northwest after the magic weapon was refined."

"In that case, Junior Brother, why don't you take Fellow Daoist Xu there now?"

"Understood, senior brother."

A short while later.

Yanlongzi led Xu Chuan away, heading west.

On the way, Xu Chuan asked, "Senior Yanlongzi, is the Tianhuo Mountain Range one of the southern demon beast forces?"

"There are quite a few monster mountain ranges there, but if we're talking about monster forces, Flame Raven Valley is one of them."

Many third-tier demonic beasts in the Tianhuo Mountains have pledged allegiance to Fellow Daoist Ya and are under his protection.

There are at least twenty powerful demons in the south who have taken human form, but most of them live alone, unlike us humans.

"More than twenty?"

"It sounds like a lot, but when you break it down, it's not much."

Yanlongzi smiled slightly.

"Of course, the combined number of Nascent Soul cultivators from all the forces in the south and the number of rogue Nascent Soul cultivators is more than three times that of the transformed great demons."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to the south, our northwest is practically weak."

"The number of Nascent Soul cultivators is quite related to the abundance of resources in a region."

Two or three hours later.

Two streaks of light swept across the sky.

The mountains and rivers below receded rapidly, gradually being replaced by a crimson sky and earth.

We've arrived at the Tianhuo Mountains.

This mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, lying across the land like a giant barrier of flames.

The mountains rise and fall, steep and precipitous, and from a distance, the entire mountain range is shrouded in a faint reddish halo.

As they ventured deeper, the temperature began to rise sharply.

The air was thick with heat, and every breath felt like it was setting your lungs on fire.

Cracks are visible everywhere on the mountain below, and a faint dark red firelight shines through the cracks.

This is a place that ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators simply cannot set foot in.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it difficult to stay long without special cultivation techniques or magical artifacts to protect them.

After flying for about half an hour, Yanlongzi suddenly slowed down and pointed to a valley below.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, that is the Valley of Flaming Ravens."

Xu Chuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw a valley as red as fire spread out amidst the surrounding mountains.

The Valley of Flaming Ravens covers an area of ​​about 100 miles, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a narrow passage leading to it in the southeast.

The valley is planted with fire mulberry trees, each one tall and straight, with branches and trunks as red as blood.

The leaves were a dazzling red, swaying in the hot wind, and from a distance, the entire mulberry grove looked like a burning flame.

The smallest of those fire mulberry trees is three or four zhang tall, and the tallest can reach more than ten zhang tall.

On the tree trunk, faint flame patterns can be seen flowing.

Occasionally, a leaf would fall, turning into tiny sparks in the air and disappearing without a trace.

Deep within the mulberry grove, flocks of fire crows can be faintly seen roosting.

Those fire crows were entirely crimson, with flames leaping between their wings.

They would sometimes take flight, circling above the mulberry grove and croaking.

Flame Raven Valley is a dangerous place in the Skyfire Mountains.

The Fire Crow clan inhabits the area.

Before the two landed, a streak of crimson-gold light shot out from Fire Raven Valley and stopped in front of them.

The light receded, revealing a humanoid creature with black wings on its back.

It was none other than the leader of Flame Raven Valley, Raven Daoist.

He was only one step away from fully transforming into human form, and his head was still in the form of a bird's beak or a demon beast.

In addition, there were some black feathers covering its cheeks.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlongzi, what brings you here?"

The Taoist Crow, dressed in a gray robe, smiled and said, "Could it be that you were dissatisfied with the distribution of 'Yang Bodhi' last time?"

"Fellow Daoist Crow is too kind. I've come here with this fellow Daoist beside me to see you."

Ya Daoren naturally noticed Xu Chuan.

However, he lost interest in the mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level after just one glance, assuming that the person was just a junior following Yan Longzi.

"he is?"

"His name is Xu Chuan. He comes from the Northwest region and is the founder of a prominent family in the Northwest."

However, Fellow Daoist Ya should not underestimate the Xu family.

Its potential is considerable, and many outstanding talents have emerged from its clan.

I myself am an unparalleled genius.

Upon hearing Yanlongzi's introduction, Ya Daoren finally took a good look at Xu Chuan.

"For Fellow Daoist Yanlongzi to introduce it in such a way, it seems that the Xu family is indeed extraordinary."

"If there's anything you need to discuss, please come to my residence."

"Crow Master" is his name when he travels, and he also has another title: Fire Crow King.

Those who were familiar with him called him Crow Taoist, while the rest called him Fire Crow King.

The Taoist Crow led the two to a huge fire mulberry tree.

This mulberry tree is far from ordinary.

The trunk is over seven or eight zhang thick, requiring dozens of people to encircle it, and its entire body is red like solidified magma.

Faint golden veins flow across the bark, resembling blood vessels and meridians, exuding an ancient yet vibrant vitality.

The tree canopy blocks out the sky and covers an area of ​​hundreds of feet in circumference.

Each leaf, like a burning flame, swayed in the hot wind, making a soft crackling sound.

On the tree trunk, several little fire crows were peeking out.

They look small, but they already show signs of extraordinary lineage.

They were all second-tier demonic beasts.

One of them was entirely golden-red, with bright, lively eyes and a small tuft of golden feathers faintly visible on its forehead.
The other two were somewhat normal.

The three little fire crows huddled together, curiously observing the newcomers, occasionally letting out soft "caw caws".

Under the tree, there was a set of stone table and stone benches.

The stone table is dark red, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and faint flame-like patterns visible between the textures.

Four stone benches surround the area.

Daoist Ya raised his hand and gestured, "Fellow Daoists, please have a seat."

The three of them took their seats.

"Fellow Daoist Crow, we have a guest. Why don't you bring out your Fire Mulberry Wine?" Yan Longzi grinned.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlongzi, I suspect that your visit with people is not a pretense, but rather a pretext to have a drink."

Without any hesitation, the Taoist priest flicked his sleeve, and a jade cup appeared in front of the three of them.

A red jade wine pot has appeared in the center.

Yanlongzi was clearly very familiar with him and, without any ceremony, poured himself a drink.

After drinking a cup himself, he poured one for Xu Chuan and the Crow Taoist.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please have a taste. Fellow Daoist Ya's wine is quite excellent."

If you are a fire-based cultivator, the effects will be even better.

Xu Chuan took a small sip. The spirit wine went down his throat, first turning into a warm and smooth sensation, then becoming hot and spicy as it entered his stomach.

It exudes pure fire-type spiritual energy.

"It is indeed good wine."

"Right? It's a pity that this is only a century-old Huosang wine."

If it's a thousand-year-old one, it will even have some effect on a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"Dream on, I myself don't even have many jars of that wine."

Let's chat for a while.

The Crow Daoist said, "Fellow Daoist Yanlongzi, tell me, what brings you here?"

"I'm just a guide; he's the one who's looking for you."

As he spoke, Yanlongzi looked at Xu Chuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please speak frankly."

For my sake.

Even if you said something wrong, Fellow Daoist Crow wouldn't go so far as to harm you.

Xu Chuan looked at the Crow Daoist, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then please forgive this junior for speaking frankly."

I would like a Bodhi vine seedling.

If not, a section of the rhizome of a Bodhi vine will also work.

Upon hearing this, the Taoist Crow frowned slightly.

Bodhi vines are rare throughout the south, and the one in his hand is five or six thousand years old.

It has remarkable effects and is even beneficial to fire-type Nascent Soul cultivators.

"If you have the means, please feel free to ask, and I will try my best to accommodate you."

"What can you offer? Are there any rare and precious materials that can help me break through to the late stage of the Transformation Realm?"

Or perhaps an ancient magical artifact suitable for this king?

"That's what Daoist Ya said calmly."

"This junior is skilled in alchemy, as well as planting, and also has research on treatment."

If there are any rare plants that are difficult to cultivate, or any intractable diseases, you are welcome to give it a try.

Xu Chuan had already made the calculations when he arrived.

The Taoist priest is indeed in trouble, and I happen to be able to help.

But he wouldn't say it outright, otherwise it would easily make the other person suspect him.

"I can guarantee that Fellow Daoist Xu's alchemy skills are indeed remarkable."

Yanlongzi spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Skilled in alchemy and healing?"

The Crow Taoist seemed to be deep in thought, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "I do have something that is troubling me right now."

If you can explain even a little bit about it, then what we just discussed might be worth considering.

"Please speak frankly, senior."

With a tentative mindset, the Crow Taoist turned around, flew to the Fire Mulberry Tree, and took down a fire crow egg the size of a human head.

The bird eggs glowed with a faint red light and emitted a warm aura.

"This is my offspring. Its brothers have already hatched, but it is a year late."

There is no sign of it hatching yet.

The life force within it fluctuated wildly.

The Crow Taoist said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, if you can see the cause, please tell me how to save us."

I, the King, may bestow upon you three "Yang Bodhi" as a reward.

If I could help it come into being, I would offer a hundred-year-old Bodhi vine, plus five "Yang Bodhi" beads.

"Could it be that your fourth child is exceptionally gifted, which is why he was born later?" Yan Longzi asked.

"I'm also having trouble judging, so I'm thinking of continuing to nurture it gently and observing it for a while longer."

Xu Chuan stared at the fire crow egg, a wisp of emerald green energy gathering in his hand and slowly flowing around it.

It was retrieved shortly afterward.

He frowned slightly, his eyes flashing, and slowly said, "This little guy is indeed exceptionally talented."

"Haha, I knew it." Yanlongzi laughed.

The Taoist priest's brows also relaxed.

"But if this continues, its life will be completely cut off in at most six months."

"What?!" The Taoist Crow's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Didn't you just say it was exceptionally gifted?"

Both of them were staring at Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan said, "Its extraordinary talent is because its talent is different from that of ordinary fire crows."

"Didn't you consider that a normal fire crow would have such a weak life force in such a fire-type environment?"

After a pause, Xu Chuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a mutated fire crow."

Its attributes are even biased towards cold.

But it's not entirely complete.

"Half fire and half cold?" Yan Longzi exclaimed in surprise. "The Fire Crow clan has creatures with such attributes?"

“Anything is possible.” Xu Chuan looked at the Crow Daoist and asked, “Does the Fire Crow clan occasionally produce Cold Crows?”

How did you know?

The Taoist priest's pupils contracted, and he nodded, his face turning grim.

"Most of the crows that are born are not recognized."

They either die young, or they survive a difficult life and leave Raven Valley.

He stared at Xu Chuan and asked, "Why is Xiao Si in a state of half heat and half cold?"

How should this be handled?

Xu Chuan said, "I can only guess why this is so."

Xiao Si must be born a crow.

However, because they were placed in a highly yang environment while still in the egg, or were infused with high-level fire-attribute spiritual materials.

That's how it gradually developed some fire attributes.

As for how to treat it.
All I can say is that it's very difficult.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please speak frankly. I am willing to pay any price," said Daoist Crow, his face filled with worry.

Xu Chuan sighed and said, "There are two methods. First, use fire-attribute materials of the fifth rank or above to completely transform them into fire crows."

But it's probably not something that can be achieved with just one fire-attribute material.

Secondly, this method is less costly for materials with the Yin-cold attribute of level 5 or above.

But regardless of the type, both require a large amount of rare and precious natural materials containing life energy to maintain their vitality.

Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, both Yan Longzi and Ya Daoren's expressions changed.

The cost is too high.

"Can't we find a way to maintain the balance between fire and cold attributes?"

Yanlongzi said, "Didn't you say that Xiao Si's body contains some fire attribute?"

"If he were born with a balanced fire and cold attribute, that would be fine, but Xiao Si's fire attribute was formed by external force."

Even if it is maintained by external forces, it cannot be controlled by itself.

It would be better to convert it to just one of the attributes.

"Which one do you think carries the least risk?"

"The second method is that, since it is a natural-born crow, it can simply have its fire attribute completely removed by external means."

"But rare and precious natural treasures with the Yin-cold attribute of the fifth rank or above are extremely rare."

Even the Qingyun Sect might not be able to guarantee it.

Yan Longzi realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately said, "There will definitely be a Nascent Soul level overlord force in Tiannan."

Even if it costs me my reputation, I will certainly do my utmost to obtain it for you, fellow Daoist.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yanlongzi. I can only say that this is Xiao Si's fate."
