Ten Shamans City.
Wu Xian Palace.
It was the largest of the Ten Palaces. In an exceedingly simple study…
There was burning incense, two prayer mats, a painting of mountains and lakes on the wall, and a sparkling and translucent coiled dragon bottle on the table.
Two women sat facing one another. They were quiet, simple, and beyond the mundane.
“I did not expect that you would actually come to the Shaman Spirit Kingdom, Yang Jian. Is this what they mean by visiting a temple without cause. Could it be you need a precious spirit medicine?”
A woman dressed in a wide-sleeved robe and who wore a stern-faced expression like that from a portrait spoke with a very soft voice.
Yang Jian’s expression was like a sheet of ice, imposing without fury.
“How can This True Lord surprisingly not be aware of when the Immortality Banquet is held.”
“The Immortality Banquet has been held for a thousand years. Yang Jian, you stay in the fertile Western Continent, yet you very rarely visit the Shaman Spirit Kingdom. You naturally will not be aware.” Wu Xian looked at Yang Jian without any hesitation in her eyes, her voice as flat and easygoing as a stream.
“And what is the Immortality Secret Elixir. Is it related to the wine of eternal life?”
Yang Jian stared at this woman sitting perfectly composed in front of her.
Although weak, her qi practically did not change one bit. As expected of the head of the Ten Shamans. If any other Star Name had been facing her, they absolutely could not be so relaxed.
“Of course it cannot compare to the wine of eternal life. The Immortality Secret Elixir can increase longevity by five hundred years, and it can also strengthen Realm, body, and soul, even recover some injures. Given your Realm, Yang Jian, this Immortality Secret Elixir is not very important to you.” Wu Xian said. “Only High Ancient Divine Realm and lower need these spirit medicines.”
“Is that so?”
Yang Jian’s tempered eyes pressured Wu Xian’s slim body heavily.
Such domineering force, without needing to take action, was sufficient to overwhelm a person’s mind.
But Wu Xian faintly smiled and bore the pressure.
“Is it really so simple?”
“Of course.”
“And if This True Lord wants this secret elixir.”
“If Your Distinguished Self Yang Jian wishes to join the Immortality Banquet, I can invite you. However, there is only so much of this Immortality Secret Elixir. Only those who can pay the price may have it.” Wu Xian modestly said.
“Oh? This True Lord must even bid?” Yang Jian brooded. That sparkling bottle on the table suddenly cracked.
“These are the rules. Even I cannot change that.” Wu Xian had no choice. “The Immortality Banquet exists to rope in every border nation to trade with the Shaman Spirit Kingdom, to maintain the medicinal ingredients of the Fog Spirit Sea, so this rule cannot be broken.”
“En…” Yang Jian nodded, and the pressure in the air suddenly vanished.
“Then This True Lord shall remain here a few days longer.”
…
Five days later, a qi full of vigor was released from a room on the eighteenth floor of the True Intent Hall. This qi dispersed in the surroundings and very quickly spread throughout the entire True Intent Hall. The air suddenly flared, and all spiritual power moved, becoming a sweet drizzle.
The cultivators that had been dining and chatting in the restaurant lifted their heads in astonishment one after another.
This was “qi of core formation.” After a Ninth Deva cultivator stepped into core formation, this type of phenomenon would manifest in their surroundings.
Stepping into Golden Core Realm was not a rare sight at all in Ten Shamans City. In fact, there were Ninth Deva cultivators advancing to Golden Core Realm everyday, but generally speaking, the qi of the cultivators doing so would quickly pass like a surging river. However, this qi was continuous like rain, prolonged. Contained in it was a very auspicious and peaceful air. The other cultivators immersed in this qi of core formation unexpectedly sensed the magical energy in their own bodies bubble up, their meridians soak as if having encountered rain. They unexpectedly seemed to have received the protection of some Divine Beast.
This kind of phenomenon made everyone feel amazement.
“Brother, do you sense it? This qi of core formation is very strange.”
“I feel it, it’s too strange. This qi surprisingly will increase our cultivation.”
“Don’t tell me this is the core formation of some genius who received a saint’s protection?”
“Huh, maybe.”
The entire True Intent Hall was already in an uproar. Not only this, the cultivators near the True Intent Hall also sensed the anomaly, and they came to the True Intent Hall one after another. Very quickly, the hall was crammed full of people.
“Niu’er, which adept is that cultivator in the eighteenth floor Jia Heavenly Paradise? Why don’t I remember anyone this powerful.” The proprietor asked in shock.
Niu’er pondered for a moment, and then he immediately remembered who it was.
“Shopkeeper, it’s that man with the lady, the one who paid a hundred thousand Wu jade.”
“What? That gigolo who made his woman pay for him?”
At this moment.
Qi Lin was unaware of the situation unfolding outside. His eyes were shut in concentration as he used all his strength to finish the last layer of Golden Core Realm. By the time the True Qi was was complete, after the Golden Core was limitless, the qi then finally receded. Qi Lin opened his eyes and looked around. The inside of the room was bathed in green light, filled with an auspicious, unique scent.
“Qilin Child…” Qi Lin very quickly sensed this function of being a Qilin Child.
He did not expect there would be such a change. As expected, cultivating as a Qilin Child was not the same as other cultivators. Qi Lin formed a hand seal and completely retracted the qi. A while after, the green light in the room finally faded.
Rising, Qi Lin suddenly felt as light as a swallow, his breath already untraceable.
The True Qi inside his body had already condensed into a place that imitated Heaven and Earth, and it was already able to peer into the boundary of the Thirty-three Devas. Golden Core Realm cultivated the Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui trigrams. Once the Bagua attributes were complete, the Golden Core would be as eternal as Heaven and Earth, and the True Spirit would be as luminous as the sun and moon.
To a cultivator, Golden Core Bagua was a considerably intractable and long process. However, now that he had the Qilin Child blessing and Invested Deity Contracts, this was not a difficult problem.
Qi Lin used his Divine Intent to enter his mind, once again opening the Huaxia Ancient Diagram.
This seemingly picturesque scroll, this painting that recorded a thousand years of history appeared clearly before QI Lin.
The Cloud-piercing Arrow and Heaven-shaking Bow were already successfully activated. The third was the Green Satchel Book.
As expected, it was the relic of Hua Tuo that he had obtained from Cao Cao’s tomb. Later generations had believed that the Green Satchel Book had been lost. However, Qi Lin was very curious as to what magic treasure this book was. A ray of magical energy entered the book and began to refine the Green Satchel Book from the diagram.
It fully consumed all of his magical energy. Finally, the Green Satchel Book turned into a green light that flew out from the Huaxia Ancient Diagram.
Qi Lin moved his thoughts and stored the book in his bag. Just as he was about to exit his mind, he suddenly noticed there were several magic treasures on the Huaxia Ancient Diagram that were already dim, missing as if someone had extracted them.
“Chiyou Banner!”
“Qilin Skeleton!”
Qi Lin glanced at the names. One was the Chiyou Banner he had assembled from the Chiyou Tomb; it was the head of Chiyou, the one that the Yellow Emperor beheaded. This head was buried in an old tomb inside a mountain, and this tomb was extremely savage. Back then, he and his senior sister nearly died inside.
The Qilin Skeleton was that of the qilin that Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che had hunted. Finding these remains cost them a lot of time and energy as well. Only after two years did they restore it, however, there was always controversy in the Chinese archaeological sphere surrounding these remains.
Qi Lin originally was very eager to see what magic treasures the Chiyou Banner and Qilin Skeleton would be, but he could not help but be a bit depressed to now see they were empty in his mind.
Perhaps his Realm was too low, and he was still unable to peer into their true form.
Thinking this, it was the only way he could console himself.
