Wu Peng thought she had misheard.
The Illusionary Flying Snow, the first-rate mount of White Emperor Shaohao. Back during the time of the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Court, the White Emperor’s steed was itself a beautiful scene. The Illusionary Flying Snow turned into a luan to soar the skies and turned into a qilin on the ground. It could be said to be a Divine Beast of fantasy, the envy of countless Divine Names. However, this Spirit Beast was said to be the offspring from Shaohao using supreme Divine Energy to compel the Divine Beasts qilin and luan to mate. In all of Primordial World, no second one could be found. Thus, it practically existed only in legend.
“Elder Sister Wu Xian, is what you said true?” Wu Peng did not dare believe that she had heard information about the Illusionary Flying Snow just now.
Wu Xian nodded: “I have already held on to this piece of information for a long while, but I did not dare make certain of it. I had my subordinates investigate in secret in order to avoid arousing suspicion, and this month, I am already very certain that Changliu indeed has the Illusionary Flying Snow in existence.” Saying this, the woman opened her palm, revealing a paper thin fragment. It was whiter than snow, crystalline, extremely beautiful. In the Shaman Spirit Kingdom, how could the Ten Shamans not recognize rare materials – this was shockingly indeed a wing fragment of the Illusionary Flying Snow.
“Elder Sister, how did you obtain this?” Wu Peng was shocked.
“You need not pry into this. I sought you out this time precisely to speak with you regarding the Illusionary Flying Snow.” Wu Xian faintly smiled.
Wu Peng retracted her displeased expression and deferentially asked: “Elder Sister, what are you saying? Little Sister is awaiting orders.”
“No need for orders. There is no need for us sisters to be strangers.” Wu Xian was very magnanimous, relaxed, and charismatic. “Wu Gu has invited a medicine refinement master from the Western Continent to concoct the Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder, and on someone else’s advice, she devised the secret bid auction idea that was rather astonishing. On this point, we have no choice but to accept it.”
“It turns out Elder Sister is aware of the events transpiring in Ten Shamans City, too.” Wu Peng forced a smile. During the auctions this month, the Wu Xian Palace showed no activity at all. She had even thought that WU Xian was actually aloof, but it turned out she was aware of this all along.
“Of course. Nothing that happens in Ten Shamans City can be hidden from me.” Wu Xian showed an arrogant grin.
“Then how is Elder Sister planning about this. If the Illusionary Flying Snow truly exists in Changliu, then presumably it should not be so easy to subdue. Otherwise, Elder Sister would not come to speak specifically with me about this.” Wu Peng was acutely aware.
Wu Xian was actually quite calm: “Not bad. As far as I know, the Illusionary Flying Snow dwells in the innermost reaches of Changliu, the place for sacrifices to Heaven. If the Ten Shamans do not work together in that place, we will be unable to venture any further inside. Thus, I came to seek you out for your aid.”
“Please speak, Elder Sister.” Wu Peng listened with rapt attention.
“For this Illusionary Flying Snow matter, I will spread a rumor through Ten Shamans City to shift the influence that Wu Gu’s pill market has brought.” Wu Xian paused.
“Elder Sister, this is a good idea.” Using even bigger news to shift focus was the most enjoyable method of public propaganda. Wu Peng had already thought of this, but she was honestly without a very significant way to create such propaganda. If she had the White Emperor’s Illusionary Flying Snow rumor, then that would clearly shift focus from the Reincarnation Sea to Changliu. This would also smash the fervor that Wu Gu had created, ending this emergency.
“Afterwards, I will go to Changliu with trustworthy sister and capture the Illusionary Flying Snow. Of course, the Illusionary Flying Snow is the White Emperor’s mount, the holy relic of our Ten Shamans City. Naturally, we cannot use it as a mount. If we can turn the Illusionary Flying Snow into the guardian beast of Ten Shamans City, I believe we will offer some solace to the White Emperor’s Divine Name. That Western Sea God Yan Zi could stir all the trouble she wants, and we would be unperturbed.” Wu Xian faintly smiled.
“Wonderful.” Wu Peng’s eyes gleamed, already approving Wu Peng’s plan. As for the final conclusion of the Illusionary Flying Snow, there was a tacit understanding between them. Although Wu Xian nominally said it was a guardian beast, after all was said and done, it came down to individual ability; whoever could obtain it was undoubtedly the Western Sea’ newest ruler.
“We should plan this matter in detail.” Wu Xian said.
“Of course.” Wu Peng meaningfully smiled.
…
Reincarnation Sea, a certain location.
Qi Lin was searching for treasures in the ocean. Although he had tens of thousands of tricks for getting rich quick, he normally would come to the Fog Spirit Sea’s most mysterious area whenever he had time to search for treasure. These treasures included spirit medicines, ancient remains, and all manner of oddities.
It was said that the Reincarnation Sea was a place of disordered space-time. All over this area, many tears and distortions in space-time appeared, and a multitude of Strange Beasts would appear from these tears on occasion. Hunting these Strange Beasts often could result in precious materials. Other than this, the countless previous materials developing here would automatically reform after being harvested, the concept of reincarnation. Thus, most cultivators from Ten Shamans City treated the Reincarnation Sea as their own place to explore and get rich quick. Of course, the soul miasma of the Reincarnation Sea was the biggest problem, which would untimely wear down a cultivator’s soul Consequently, the crux to getting rich was possession of good quality soul supplement pills.
Qi Lin naturally would not miss out on this place.
At this moment, a giant Fierce Beast burst out from the forest in front of him. Its immense body was like a black cloud, and on its back were a pair of several dozen meter wide white wings. The beast’s head was a strange cross between a bird and a snake.
Its centipede legs endlessly undulated like a chopping machine.
A Golden Core Middle Realm Strange Beast of the Reincarnation Sea.
Ashwing Centipede!1
Roar!
As if one was not enough, another Ashwing Centipede appeared. This type of fearsome beast possessed formidable attack and capture capabilities. Even in the Reincarnation Sea, encountering one was a nightmare that cultivators were unwilling to discuss.
Qi Lin’s expression was as calm as normal, he even disdainfully smirked.
The Ashwing Centipedes roared and launched an attack.
Flapping its wings, the many centipede legs released small, snake-like tendrils. At the ends of these tendrils were frightening heads filled only with teeth.
In an instant, the numerous heads were about to bite down on him, and a paralytic miasma slowly covered the surrounding hundred meters.
A while after, the Ashwing Centipedes heaved and screeched, flinging drool. According to their underdeveloped brains, this would had very few targets able to withstand this, especially a tiny human.
“Not a single bit of progress.” Qi Lin’s characteristic voice penetrated the miasma.
The Ashwing Centipedes showed slight surprise. The young man appeared in perfect health.
Roar!
The Golden Core Middle Stage Strange Beasts already posed no threat to Qi Lin now. After this month’s cultivation, Qi Lin’s Golden Core Bagua had already smoothly completed the “Dui” and “Kan” trigrams, and he reached completion of Golden Core Early Stage. Although it appeared there was a significant difference in power between Golden Core Middle Stage, the combination of the Nine Yins Nine Yangs Fortune Heaven cultivation method and the contract with the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, Qi Lin had more than enough leeway to handle the Golden Core Middle Stage Strange Beasts.
Without wasting any time, Qi Lin smoothly eliminated the Ashwing Centipedes. Their flesh could serve as high quality medicinal ingredients, and their inner cores were also very valuable. Although he grew rich overnight, right now, Qi Lin still wanted to accrue the fifty million Wu Jade needed to buy a boat to the Eastern Sea.
After staying in the Reincarnation Sea for a few days, Qi Lin had harvested many materials and refined them into hundreds of pills for Wu Gu.
The excitement for the secret bid auctions was already beginning to wane. Now, Qi Lin needed to think of a new way to keep up this hype.
“Did you hear a rumor as of late?” Wu Gu asked as she had a subordinate tally the one hundred Five Flavors Soul Returning Powders.
“What rumor?” Qi Lin had stayed at the Reincarnation Sea the past few days and was not very aware of happenings in Ten Shamans City.
“I fear it will be very difficult for our auction to produce two million in profit this time around.” Wu Gu said.
Qi Lin was not surprised. Right now, the price of the Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder had a bottom line around six to nine thousand in the hearts of cultivators. This kind of psychological price level was very problematic. Once formed, it was very difficult to change no matter how you embellished the product.
However, the profits over the last month were sufficient to console Qi Lin. He was not a greedy person and understood the logic of knowing when to quit.
“It is not because of the excitement.” Wu Gu shook her head.
“What else could it be?” Qi Lin asked.
“Do you remember the Illusionary Flying Snow?” Wu Gu asked.
Qi Lin nodded, how could he forget that fantastical Spirit Beast.
“Someone has already made its existence known to Ten Shamans City. Now, the cultivators are all talking about this. They say that Sister Wu Xian and the other Ten Shamans are planning an expedition into Changliu.” Wu Gu was concerned.
Qi Lin grunted.
“Are you not the least bit surprised?” Wu Gu was confused. She was worried to death.
“The Illusionary Flying Snow can indeed draw the cultivators’ attention, shifting away the focus we created, but we can beat them at their own game…We can exploit this opportunity to bring the Five Flavors Soul Returning Pill’s reputation to new heights.” Qi Lin faintly grinned.
Wu Gu chuckled, her beautiful eyes wide.
Did she mishear?
This man surprisingly wanted to somehow fleece the other cultivators.
