Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 344 The Record of Heavenly Crafts

As soon as Yao Lao said this, Feng Zun and Xiao Yan's eyes immediately focused on Xiao Bai, their eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly, lightly tapped the void with his fingertips, and a soul barrier quietly unfolded, enveloping the group.

"Old Yao is indeed perceptive."

He glanced at the group, a strange smile flashing in his eyes, and lowered his voice to say:

"As far as I know, there is an ancient ruin in the Bone Mountain Range of the Beast Domain, where the bones of a Battle Saint may exist."

"Ancient ruins?!"

Venerable Feng and Elder Yao were somewhat taken aback. They exchanged a glance, a strange light flashing in their eyes. Xiao Yan, standing to the side, blinked blankly.

"Xiao Bai, the Starfall Pavilion hasn't received any news of ancient ruins appearing recently. Is your information reliable?"

Venerable Feng rubbed his hands together excitedly, then realized it was impolite to say that; someone had kindly provided information, yet he was expressing doubt. He quickly explained:

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that every time an ancient ruin appears, it quickly attracts many powerful figures and forces from across the continent to fight for it. Trying to get any treasure from it is truly a matter of life and death. Back when Brother Chen and I entered that ruin, countless Dou Zong and Dou Zun fought fiercely, the sky darkened, and rivers of blood flowed. I don't know how many powerful figures perished!"

The old apothecary nodded solemnly and said softly:

"Xiao Bai, I know the Starfall Pavilion's information network is usually quite well-informed. They couldn't possibly be unaware of such a major event as the appearance of the Dou Sheng's relics. You must be mistaken!"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it; this relic hasn't been discovered yet!" Xiao Bai chuckled and shook his head, not taking their doubts to heart.

"Not in the present world?!"

Yao Lao and Feng Zun Zhe's eyes bulged, feeling as if they had been choked. They were extremely speechless. What's the use of telling you if there are no relics in the world, especially not relics of a Dou Sheng powerhouse?

"Uh, teacher, what's this ancient ruin all about?" Xiao Yan asked, curious about their expressions.

Upon hearing this, the old medicine master took a deep breath to calm himself before gently stroking his beard and slowly saying:

"Ancient ruins, as the name suggests, naturally refer to the ruins left behind by ancient powerful beings, such as tombs, cave dwellings, special spaces of sects, etc. These places have survived for thousands of years and still remain, which shows that their owners were not ordinary people in life. Therefore, before some ruins are revealed to the world, you can walk on them without knowing that there is an ancient ruin underneath."

"unless."

The old man paused in stroking his beard, then looked at Xiao Bai with disbelief in his eyes.

"Unless what?"

Xiao Yan was listening intently when Yao Lao suddenly stopped talking, and he felt a little itchy, as if he had just reached an exciting part and then it was abruptly cut off.

He has experienced a lot along the way, but he doesn't know much about relics.

"Unless... that ruin is about to be revealed, but there haven't been any grand phenomena to attract attention yet!"

Seeing the old doctor's gaze, which seemed to be asking a question, Xiao Bai nodded and smiled as he continued the conversation.

"hiss--"

When Yao Lao and Feng Zun Zhe saw him admit it, they couldn't help but gasp. He had actually encountered such a thing; this was an incredible stroke of luck.

Some people stumble upon these ruins that are about to open, enter them by chance, and without any competition, obtain many ancient items, cultivation techniques, fighting skills, elixirs, and special inheritances. This allows them to go further on the path of cultivation and become giants in their own right.

Moreover, this is the remains of a Dou Sheng powerhouse!

Strictly speaking, both he and Feng Xian were beneficiaries of the ruins, and Xiao Yan obtained the Burning Technique he cultivated from it.

Of course, for those who lack the strength, or who encounter a ruthless owner of the ruins, this would also be a tremendous disaster.

"Xiao Xiaobai, is this how you tell me something like this?"

Venerable Wind stammered a little, his eyes filled with a sense of being trusted.

For ordinary people, such an opportunity would be kept secret, fearing that others would know, and they wouldn't tell anyone except their most trusted confidant.

And what about him?

This was the first time he had met Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai had brought up such a thing in front of him, leaving him with mixed feelings, but also deeply moved.

If Xiao Bai is weak, he could argue that he needed Xiao Bai's protection to enter the ruins, which is why he said it. But Xiao Bai is not only not weak, but even stronger than him, so this reason doesn't make sense.

The old apothecary looked at Xiao Bai with a complicated expression, his illusory figure trembling slightly: "Boy, I will remember this favor."

"Haha. Master Yao and I were like teacher and friend. These mere relics are nothing!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand magnanimously, and seeing the moved looks in their eyes, he was very satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

What a great tool!

Why not take advantage of it!

That's right! The ruins he mentioned are the ruins where the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit exists!

It will take several more years for that relic to be revealed to the world. However, the revelation of such an ancient relic is never instantaneous. At least some clues can be discovered before it is revealed to the world.

He doesn't have much time to go to the Beast Realm right now, to spend his time in the vast mountain range slowly searching for clues to the reappearance of the ruins.

In this way, if he wants to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and the ninth-grade pill inside, he only needs to send someone to investigate and notify him if they find any clues!

However, this person is not easy to find. First, they must be trustworthy, and second, they must be capable enough.

The ruins are far away in the Beast Realm, a place ruled by magical beasts. If you're not strong enough, you might end up in the beasts' mouths before you even discover the ruins. That would be ridiculous.

Therefore, the perfect tool, Venerable Wind, came into his view.

He's quite capable and has decent character.

Although Xiao Bai and he had not had in-depth contact, this trip was linked to Yao Lao's future, and given their relationship, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Given that he was in the Beast Realm, even if he discovered traces of the ruins, he would definitely need strong reinforcements as a precaution.

At that time, Xiao Bai was his first choice!

"When do we set off?"

Venerable Wind closed his eyes, took a deep breath, silently burying his emotions in his heart, and opened them again, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

He knew the Beast Realm all too well; his own disciple was from the Azure Phoenix Clan there, a place dominated by magical beast clans.

Although some humans live among them, Warcraft is still the mainstream, and xenophobia is extremely serious.

The fact that these relics appeared on their territory means they certainly wouldn't want humans to come and take a share of the spoils.

But so what?

On this trip, he will definitely obtain the Bone of the Battle Saint to help Brother Chen revive and advance further.

Seeing Venerable Feng's eager expression, Xiao Bai was extremely satisfied; this was exactly the attitude he wanted.

His eyes flashed, and he chuckled, saying, "Elder Feng, there's no need to rush. Although I know that the ruins are in the Bone Mountain Range, it will still be quite some time before they are truly opened, and their exact location still needs to be confirmed."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his palm, which he handed to Venerable Feng.

"This is...?" Venerable Feng looked at the jade slip, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Your communication jade slip?"

He didn't know why Xiao Bai gave him this, but he still reached out and took it.

"I'm sure Elder Feng has seen what's going on here," Xiao Bai said, pointing to the surrounding ruins. He sighed and added:

"I'm currently busy rebuilding and can't leave for the time being, so I'll have to trouble Elder Feng to make a trip to the Beast Domain first. If you find any clues about the ruins, please crush the jade slip and notify me."

Then, with a solemn expression, he instructed, "Elder Feng, please be careful on your journey to the Bone Mountain Range. It is, after all, the territory of magical beasts. If you feel anything amiss, please crush the jade slip immediately so I can rush to your aid!"

Venerable Feng gripped the jade slip tightly, a hint of moisture welling up in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, solemnly put the jade slip into his pocket, his voice trembling slightly:

"Young friend Xiao Bai, this old man."

The old doctor watched closely from the side, and his expression was slightly moved.

He knew his old friend too well; the fact that Xiao Bai's actions could cause such a change in the usually carefree Feng Xian showed just how deeply Xiao Bai's behavior had affected him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. When Xiao Bai first met him, he not only revealed the location where the ruins were about to be created, but also gave him a jade slip for communication. In a world where people would kill and set fires for a little bit of cultivation resources, this can really be said to be an unreserved trust.

Just then, Venerable Feng surveyed the surrounding ruins, his eyes hardening as if he had made a decision, and suddenly said to Xiao Bai:

"Xiao Bai, I have lived for hundreds of years, and apart from Brother Chen, I have never seen anyone as open and honest as you. Not only are you willing to share such an incredible opportunity, but you have also entrusted me with the most important communication tool."

As he spoke, he took out a yellowed scroll from his storage ring, handed it over, and said sincerely:

"Besides my cultivation level, the only thing I can boast about is my skill in weapon crafting. Your newly established Zixiao Palace will surely be of some help to you."

"!" Xiao Bai.

Looking at the three ancient characters of "Tiangonglu" on the scroll in front of him, he found his conscience aching and he felt deeply remorseful.

Even a support character needs to generate gold coins?

What's the difference between this and taking out a loan to work?

"Elder Feng, this...this is too valuable." Xiao Bai shook his head, ultimately unable to reach the level of a capitalist from his previous life.

"No need for further words. What I give away, I will never take back. I've decided to befriend you, young man!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Venerable Feng shoved the scroll into Xiao Bai's arms and said with a serious expression.

"!" Xiao Yan.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

Xiao Bai, both amused and exasperated, accepted the scroll, carefully put it away, and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Elder Feng. Then Xiao Bai will shamelessly accept it!"

Venerable Wind laughed heartily: "That's exactly right!"

Seeing this scene, the old doctor shook his head helplessly, but Xiao Bai's actions today were truly admirable.

Compared to that wretched Han Feng, it's someone who isn't swayed by external things who is someone you can trust to befriend.

"alright."

Venerable Wind clapped his hands. "Without further ado, I'll set off for the Beast Realm immediately. Brother Chen, you can focus on preparing for your resurrection. I'll find the ruins as soon as possible so you can be resurrected soon."

"Elder Feng, why don't I go to the Beast Domain with you? Maybe we can find it faster with more people!" Xiao Yan suddenly said.

"Little Yanzi, it's good that you have this intention. Don't go this time. Get ready and go to Burning Flame Valley. Improve your strength as soon as possible." Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"Teacher, you're not coming with me?" Xiao Yan looked surprised. Yao Lao's tone suggested that he didn't intend to go to Burning Flame Valley with him.

"Before I was resurrected, I stayed with you, young Xiao Bai. Now that you're a three-star Dou Zong, it's time for you to go out and make your own way!"

The old doctor shook his head, stroked his beard, and smiled, as if he were watching a fledgling eagle he had raised from a young age finally spread its wings and fly high.

Xiao Yan didn't react for a moment. After a moment of stunned silence, his eyes suddenly reddened. He knelt on one knee and solemnly said:

"Your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!"

After saying that, she looked up, reluctantly took off the ring, and handed it to Xiao Bai.

"!" Xiao Bai.

Listen to me, there's absolutely no need for that!

But after thinking about it, I still reached out and took it.

After all, the old man has many female confidantes, some of whom may come in handy in the future!

Seeing this, Venerable Wind laughed loudly and said, "Very well! In that case, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of blue light and disappeared into the horizon.

As for Xiao Yan, he also stood up, looked at Xiao Bai, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Bai, I'm entrusting my teacher to you!"

Xiao Bai didn't speak, but patted his shoulder and smiled:

"Work hard, and if you ever hear any news about the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, remember to let me know. I'll trade you news of a different kind of flame!"

"Yin-Yang Twin Flames?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback, instantly snapping out of his reluctance. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered a question he had forgotten to ask at Fallen God Gorge:

"Brother Bai, was that a Tai Chi symbol you were standing on earlier?"

"That's right!" Xiao Bai nodded. This couldn't be kept secret; Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor both knew.

"Damn, I knew you were cultivating immortality!!" Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, his expression unchanged, then changed the subject, saying:

"Don't you want to know what kind of strange fire I'll trade with you?"

"!" Xiao Yan.

Could you be any more perfunctory?

Such an abrupt change of topic, does he really think he's a fool?

However, he already had the answer in his heart, and too lazy to press this stubborn Bai Ge for answers, he cooperated with him to change the subject and asked:

"What kind of strange fire?"

He didn't hold out much hope. The Yin-Yang Twin Flames were ranked twenty-first on the list of strange flames, so any strange flame he could exchange for couldn't be ranked very high.

Now, as he absorbs more and more strange flames, the lower-ranked ones don't provide much of an improvement to him, but they do significantly enhance the power of the Fire Lotus.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!"

"What?"

Yao Lao and Xiao Yan's expressions changed drastically in an instant. They lost their previous nonchalance and rubbed their ears, wondering if they had just imagined it.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?!"

Xiao Yan forgot what had just happened. His voice changed, and he stared intently at Xiao Bai, as if trying to see if the other was joking.

The old man's soul fluctuated violently, and he almost lost his human form.

"Brother Bai, you...you're not lying to me?"

Xiao Yan swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "It really is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

"Good. If you can find the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, I will tell you some information about the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan became excited and patted his chest without hesitation, promising:

"Don't worry, Brother Bai, no matter what, I'll find you the Yin-Yang Twin Flames!"
