I have the best bloodline

"Because I also felt the pain," said the Hermit of the Sea with a pained expression. "Not only did I lose spirit stones, but it also felt like I was kicked hard."

The phantom pain in the philtrum is not only experienced by male cultivators, but also by female cultivators.

"Uh, is that so?"

It took Su Yan a while to shake off the lingering phantom pain in her heart. She glanced at Sister Mi Hai's crotch and muttered to herself, "Looks like there's nothing to kick."

Then, Su Yan quickly caught up with the muscular men who had just turned around and were about to return to the teahouse, and asked:

"Excuse me, are you senior members of the Weaponry Sect?"

"Ok?"

The four burly men who had been stopped by Su Yan turned around but saw no one. Looking down, they saw a child talking to them, and casually said, "We are indeed disciples of the Weapon Sect. What business do you have with us?"

As the burly man spoke, he lifted his shirt to reveal his chiseled abs, and even the outer edge of his pectoral muscles under his armpits was covered with wing-like muscles, leaving Su Yan dumbfounded and filled with envy.

Of course, the burly man didn't lift his shirt to show off his physique; he simply wanted to make it easier to reveal the meteorite token hanging on his clothes.

The meteorite iron token of the Weapon Sect is extremely difficult to counterfeit; it can be said that there is no other sect that can replicate it.

Although the burly man didn't care much about Su Yan, since he had asked if he was a disciple of the Weapon Sect, the burly man naturally needed to reveal his identity to prevent this brat from being deceived by other imposters and then spreading rumors about the Weapon Sect.

"Senior, please allow me a moment to speak."

Su Yan glanced around the teahouse, raised his hand to gesture a gesture of invitation, and said, "I have a weapon that I would like to ask the seniors to take a look at and see if it can be repaired."

"Stop calling us 'senior' and 'senior' all the time. We're just a bunch of ragpickers."

Seeing that business had come to them, the cultivator from the Weaponry Sect followed Su Yan into the coconut grove and said, "You can just call me Fellow Daoist Pei Yan. This is Ye Ya, and the other two are my junior brothers Jin Zhi and Chen Huo."

Fellow Daoist Pei Yan, with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation, is currently leading the younger members of his sect to collect materials in Binhai City.

The other three were also quite muscular, but their cultivation levels were only those of the Qi Refining stage.

"Row"

Upon arriving in the coconut grove, Su Yan took out the God-Slaying Whip, whose spirit had long been dormant, from his storage ring and asked, "I won't hide anything. I just want to ask the fellow Daoists of the Weapon Sect if there's any way to awaken the spirit within this spiritual weapon."

After Su Yan took out the God-Slaying Whip, he wasn't worried about being robbed. His elders were drinking tea and eating melon seeds in the inn. With the perception ability of a terrestrial immortal, if something happened to him, his aunt and the others would be able to send a large force to the border.

Therefore, Su Yan directly handed the God-Slaying Whip to Daoist Pei Yan for inspection.

"According to the rules of the martial arts world, we do not accept any magical artifacts."

When Pei Yan saw Su Yan hand over the magical artifact, he didn't reach out to take it immediately. Instead, he took two steps back, opened his storage ring, and took out a table covered with a soft cloth.

"Put the artifact on the table so I can begin examining it."

Spiritual artifacts can be large or small. If one gets them into your hands and they break, you might as well jump into the sea and not know what will happen. At best, you'll have your memories searched and you'll need to recuperate for three to five months. At worst, you might lose everything.

Unless they don't care about spirit stones, disciples of the Weapon Sect will never accept spirit weapons from strangers.

They had also been scammed before, so when they saw the antique Su Yan handed over, they didn't show any particular excitement. Instead, they cautiously took two steps back to let Su Yan put the magical artifact on the table.

Only after confirming that there were no pitfalls inside did Fellow Daoist Peiyan dare to touch that ancient artifact.

Chapter 250 Nighttime Chaos

"Your magical artifact is quite old, isn't it? Was it just dug out of the pit?"

After inspecting the God-Slaying Whip on the table, Pei Yan pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "The spirit within is also nearing collapse. Healing it will likely require a considerable amount of time and spirit stones."

In the art of artifact care, the cultivators of the Artifact Sect are as professional as doctors. They can tell at a glance that the God-Slaying Whip in Su Yan's hand must have come from the pit, and that the artifact spirit inside was on the verge of disintegration.

It's not that it's incurable, it just depends on whether the young fellow cultivator in front of you is willing to spend spirit stones to treat him.

First, to awaken the spirit of the artifact without causing any damage, it would cost more than 3,000 catties of spirit stones. This is just the cost price. The subsequent maintenance costs would be impossible to stop without 300,000 to 500,000 catties of spirit stones.

Of course, the price of a single magical artifact is definitely not something that can be bought with three to five hundred thousand catties of spirit stones.

It's common for high-quality spiritual artifacts to cost over a million, and some top-grade spiritual artifacts are traded for millions of spirit stones or through barter, not simply purchased with spirit stones.

Master Peiyan's advice to Su Yan was that if he felt comfortable using it, he could use it; if not, he should just leave it. After all, the repair cost of three to five hundred thousand was an exorbitant amount that most cultivators couldn't afford.

"Let's treat it!"

Su Yan thought for a moment and then spoke.

The God-Slaying Whip originated from the Beast Taming Sect. It is a weakened version of the Beast Taming Sect's secret technique, the God-Slaying Whip, used by disciples to tame demonic beasts. The true God-Slaying Whip technique is a powerful divine ability capable of tearing apart the souls of earth immortals.

Even Dao Hua Zhenjun, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage, perished in the God-Slaying Whip Formation of the Tower of Heaven.

Although three to five hundred thousand spirit stones are expensive, Su Yan felt that the treatment fee was worthwhile because he could exchange them for a spiritual artifact that specializes in attacking the souls of cultivators.

"Alright, with you saying that, I'll start preparing the awakening formation for you."

Seeing that Su Yan was willing to pay, Master Pei Yan's expression softened slightly, and he agreed to let Su Yan go back and prepare the formation.

"Give me two days to prepare. Awakening the spirit will require about three thousand catties of spirit stones. Think it over again."

Awakening the spirit artifact was just a small expense; the real big costs were yet to come. Pei Yan wasn't worried about Su Yan defaulting on the debt or refusing to pay the spirit stones. The items for healing the spirit artifact were readily available, and Pei Yan Zhenren only needed to return to the sect to retrieve them.

After returning, Su Yan would treat the patient if he gave her spirit stones, and if he didn't, he would only lose the cost of the teleportation trip.

The cost of a mere teleportation array is negligible.

........................

"What did they talk about in such a secretive way?"

When Su Yan emerged from the coconut grove, the Hermit Seeker saw the group from the Weapon Sect excitedly discussing something, while Su Yan looked worried, as if he had lost a lot of money.

"Did they overcharge you? Should I go over and negotiate the price for you?" Mi Hai Sanren thought for a moment and then asked Su Yan what had happened.

"It's nothing, it's just that my wallet is a little sore, I need to use some of the money I had saved to marry my wife." Su Yan shook his head and didn't mention what was going on in the woods.

The God-Slaying Whip is not a conventional spiritual weapon. If its power reaches a satisfactory level after healing, Su Yan plans to use it as his trump card. A single lash can shatter the soul of an enemy cultivator, making it an extremely powerful spiritual weapon, much like the Starlight Divine Water.

I don't need it now, but I can't live without it!

"It's getting late, I need to go home now. Are you free tomorrow, Sister Mihai?"

After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Su Yan saw that the sun was about to set outside, so he prepared to head home. However, before doing so, he made a point of asking if the Hermit of the Sea had any time tomorrow.

Su Yan wanted to explore the coastal city tomorrow. He had never been to the seaside before, so he especially wanted to experience the seaside charm in this coastal city.

However, Su Yan was too embarrassed to ask the seniors at the inn for help. Sister Hong Ling still needed to preside over the wedding of the younger generation of the Huang clan, Aunt Xiao and Aunt Hua Yu were currently busy with Errenzhuan (a type of folk opera), and Su Yan was not very familiar with True Lord Hatching Chickens and Daoist Firefly.

As for Grand Tutor Jin, Su Yan was afraid that the dean would sell him to fight in underground boxing matches, so he never considered asking Grand Tutor Jin to take him out to play.

Instead, I might as well ask this kind local, the hermit, if he's free tomorrow and can show me around the unique features of the seaside city.

"tomorrow."

After pondering for a while, Mi Hai said, "You won't be free until after 9 AM, right? Is there something you need?"

The monks on the coast earn money early in the morning and late at night, that is, during high tide and low tide.

For example, sea fishing or sea hunting is not feasible. Without the cultivation of a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator or a Deity Transformation cultivator, no captain would want to hire a sea fishing expert. A cultivator without even a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator would be a burden if they participated in sea fishing.

Just stay on the beach and collect seashells! Don't try to trade your life for money; your life might not even be worth as much as my boat.

"Could you be my guide and show me around the unique attractions of the seaside city? As someone who grew up inland, I've never seen the sea before," Su Yan said.

"A guide? I thought it was something serious!" The Hermit of the Sea waved his hand and said, "Of course, no problem. Just come to the Coast Tea House at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"Then, I'll come find you at 9 AM tomorrow."

After the two parties made their agreement, Su Yan did not linger at the coastal teahouse. Instead, he took to the air and flew straight back to the Hailin Inn.

Su Yan still remembered her aunt saying that Binhai City was quite chaotic at night.

Su Yan had no interest in street brawls; he'd rather meditate and practice breathing exercises. Besides, Su Yan was quite tired; he'd just fought Dao Hua Zhenjun this morning with the help of the Fairy Sister.

Then they went to the inn for a meal, and after the meal, they rushed to the coastal teahouse to find the cultivator from the Weapon Sect.

After three consecutive busy days, Su Yan wanted to take a shower and get a good night's sleep to relieve her mental and physical fatigue.

"Auntie, I'm going back to my room to rest now."

After returning to Hailin Inn, Su Yan said goodnight to his aunt and the other seniors sitting in the courtyard, and then went straight to a deserted courtyard.

Although the Hailin Inn was not booked out, it was filled with Huang clan members, and Hongling booked out the high-end rooms, such as the side rooms, for their accommodation.

Although it wasn't a private event, it felt just like one.

After washing up, Su Yan transformed back into her original form and jumped onto the slightly small bed. However, once she returned to her original form, the bed transformed into the Wusheng Emperor Fox Bed.

………………

In the stillness of the night.

In the courtyard of Hailin Inn, only Grand Tutor Jin remained, leisurely munching on melon seeds, waiting for an old woman to come out and discuss some matters with him.

"Ok?"

Grand Tutor Jin saw an old woman, but she didn't come out of the bedroom; instead, she crawled in from the outside.

"The Taiyin Ancestor? What is she doing?"

Grand Tutor Jin cracked melon seeds, his gaze slightly strange as he watched the Old Ancestor Taiyin slip into Su Yan's bedroom.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 251 The Lord of Night's Obsession

In the stillness of the night at Hailin Inn, a cloud of black mist, imperceptible and intangible, slipped into Su Yan's dormitory through the open window.

"What is the Taiyin Ancestor doing?"

Grand Tutor Jin, who was originally sitting in the courtyard of the inn, looked at the black mist with a slightly strange expression, and slipped into Su Yan's bedroom through the crack in the window: "In the middle of the night."

Grand Tutor Jin wasn't worried about Su Yan's safety. He was currently a vessel for Empress Dowager You Su, used to nourish her ghostly soul. If the vessel were damaged, it would be a troublesome matter for Empress Dowager You Su, because not just any creature can become a vessel.

Within the Xia Dynasty, Su Yan, who possesses both the nine-tailed fox and the extremely yang and strong dragon bloodline, can both nourish the Empress Dowager's ghostly spirit through the nine-tailed fox bloodline and eliminate the eternal coldness caused by years of being frozen through the extremely yang and strong dragon blood.

Su Yan is perfect as a vessel for nurturing.

If Su Yan were to die, Empress Dowager Su would need to spend a great deal of time searching for a new vessel. Therefore, when Su Yan is in mortal danger, Empress Dowager Su will surely step forward to save Su Yan's life.

Therefore, when he saw the Taiyin Ancestor transform into black mist and sneak into Su Yan's bedroom in the middle of the night, Grand Tutor Jin was not flustered at all and even had the leisure to brew a pot of tea and eat melon seeds.
