Chapter 122
"Senior Brother?"
"Ah, um..." Su Jinzhou couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved. He untied his belt and the jade pendant fell out from the gap.
Ji Tang picked up the jade pendant and immediately recognized it, "It turns out to be the Weilong Pendant."
She carefully stroked the finely carved patterns on the Weilong Pendant with her fingertips. The blood mixed with her spiritual power was the same as before, without any dimming.
"Unfortunately, my dragon pendant has turned to ashes."
Ji Tang wondered if Han Wei's abnormal behavior was due to seeing the dragon pendant in his senior brother's belt. What was wrong with this dragon pendant? Could it be that he recognized the dragon pendant?
The Weilongpei belongs to the Qingmang Dragon Clan, and the Dragon Clan has always had little contact with humans. This jade pendant belongs to the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, so it is impossible for him to know about it.
Su Jinzhou didn't care about Han Wei at all, no matter whether he was abnormal or not. Su Jinzhou only paid attention to the loss and nostalgia that Ji Tang inadvertently revealed when he stroked the Weilongpei.
"There will be treasures like the Weilongpei. I'll find them and we'll re-brand them."
Jitang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you, Senior Brother."
Although she could find it herself, there was no need to reject her senior brother's kindness.
She weighed the jade pendant and asked, "What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Su Jinzhou said, "Han Wei couldn't possibly know the origin of the jade pendant, and he doesn't look like he's after treasures." Su Jinzhou's gaze shifted from the jade pendant to the tassel, "But this tassel is interesting. He might have seen it, and it might have something to do with you."
"With me?" Jitang touched the tassel, which was smooth and soft. "What kind of material is this? It feels so comfortable."
Su Jinzhou's expression was gentle. "This thing is called Millennium Cold Pond Silk. You know exactly where it comes from: the Nine Nether Abyss Ink Cold Pond."
"This thread grows from the fins of the Frost Demon Fish. Every hundred years, the old threads fall off and new ones grow. Some of these threads float away along the cold pond, while others get caught in the cracks in the rocks at the bottom. After years of erosion by the cold pond, they form the shape you see now."
Ji Tang was surprised. "Is this from the Frost Demon Fish? I knew that the Frost Demon Fish's fins have long threads that look like a bunch of seaweed in the water. I didn't know it could be made into tassels!"
Su Jinzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Probably the only one who called the long silk thread seaweed was Ji Tang.
Su Jinzhou: "This is a good thing. Why don't you try injecting nightmare energy into it?"
Ji Tang immediately put the nightmare energy in. The nightmare energy flowed along the tassel from the beginning to the end, passing the distance of a long thread, and it actually became a little more condensed.
Wow, this is a natural artifact for cultivation!
Although the solidifying effect is not particularly obvious, it can be sustained over a long period of time. Once the frequency is increased, the effect will be much stronger than just practicing!
"What a great thing! My cultivation has regressed significantly. Wouldn't this help me recover faster? After the competition is over, I'll return to the Nine Nether Abyss and have the Frost Demon Fish bring me all the fish threads from the bottom of the pool!"
Ji Tang, having discovered a new shortcut to cultivation, said cheerfully, "It seems Han Wei's unusual behavior is truly due to the tassel. When he saw you wearing it, he knew you must have been to the Nine Nether Abyss. It's quite astonishing that a dignified Immortal Venerable would go to the demon's place and use silk from the Cold Demon Fish to make a jade pendant tassel."
Ji Tang: "If this thing is so good, why is it that when I woke up, Jiu Ming Yuan was deserted?"
Su Jinzhou said, "Many people don't have the strength to go, and some people have the courage but can't go up."
"As for those who went up, it's hard to say whether they can safely descend into the Ink Water Cold Pond. Even if they do reach the Ink Water Cold Pond, many people who can't enter the cold pool have been killed by the Frost Demon Fish. There are also some who have encountered evil cultivators and died on the spot."
"Or they fight over the fish thread, get seriously injured, and then the fisherman takes advantage."
Su Jinzhou: "In short, the situation is uncertain, and everyone has their own way of dying."
Ji Tang couldn't help but admire the diversity of their approaches to death. "Brother, you know a lot," she nudged him. "Brother, you've been to my place quite a bit, haven't you?"
Su Jinzhou shifted his gaze slightly, "Not very often."
Jitang didn't believe it.
Su Jinzhou saw that the matter was finished and asked her, "Are you going back to the competition venue?"
Ji Tang immediately shook his head, "Forget it. Once you show up, I don't even have the chance to watch the game. The people blocking the way don't leave me any room. What am I supposed to watch? The patterns on their robes?"
"Immortal Lord, let's just wait and see the results. I have something else I want to do during this time."
Su Jinzhou asked, "What's the matter?"
Jitang smiled and said, "Let's go to Haijinyunjian Island and find Shark."
*
Around Haijinyunjian Island is the place where the sturgeon shark clan inherits their heritage.
The figures of Jitang and Su Jinzhou gradually appeared in the dense forest and walked towards the stone gate of the place of inheritance.
"When my cultivation level was low, I always thought that spellcasting was restricted here. Now I know that the restrictions are also based on cultivation level. As a result, my cultivation level has regressed, and I will eventually be restricted here again." Ji Tang was helpless.
Su Jinzhou watched her raise her hand to poke the spiritual power shield on her body. This spiritual power shield was condensed by him. Every time she poked it, it was like touching the tip of his heart repeatedly.
Of course, this spiritual shield would not transmit her movements back to him, but he would still feel the same way just by looking at it with his eyes.
My heart softened.
Su Jinzhou: "If you want to improve your cultivation even faster, you can also try eating dreams."
Jitang said, "Forget it. I ate too much before and had all kinds of dreams. I'm sick and tired of eating."
Su Jinzhou, "You can enter my dream."
Ji Tang was stunned.
Yes, ever since her senior brother no longer used the nightmare energy on her magic weapon to enter his dreams, she no longer had a medium and would no longer be summoned into Su Jinzhou’s dreams.
"Dreams are very personal things. Brother, don't you feel that your privacy has been discovered?"
"It's you, no problem."
Ji Tang then smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, this reminds me of a word."
"What word?"
"Dual cultivation."
Su Jinzhou: "..."
Su Jinzhou, "Where did you learn all this?"
Ji Tang was confused, "Brother, don't you see how old I am?"
Su Jinzhou: "..."
He walked a few steps faster.
Ji Tang caught up with her. She still had the mark left by the Sturgeon Shark King Beast in her body, so she could open the place of inheritance effortlessly.
The two walked through a long secret passage and came to the spacious central area of the inheritance land.
Nothing has changed here over the years.
When they arrived, a glimmer of light appeared on the surface of the sea in the middle.
Ji Tang immediately recognized that it was a fragment of the beast spirit that Shark Qi had separated from her. It had resided in her sea of consciousness for so long that no one knew it better than she did.
The beast spirit floated quietly in the air, as if waiting for someone to speak.
Su Jinzhou: "In seclusion?"
The beast spirit nodded up and down.
Jitang watched their interaction in surprise. Seeing the two of them getting along, it didn't look like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Su Jinzhou: "Stop seclusion and come out."
The light flew over, circled around Su Jinzhou, and then stopped in front of Ji Tang. It seemed to take a look, and then the light tilted, as if to say, "Is there anything worth me stopping my retreat?"
Su Jinzhou signaled to the people around him, "Jitang is back."
The light that was still slightly fluctuating suddenly stopped moving, as if it was frozen for a long time. Ji Tang became impatient and was about to speak when he saw the light dive into the sea.
Ji Tang: "Is it stupid from practicing?"
Su Jinzhou's voice was filled with laughter. "It's too shocking. Give it some time to react."
Jitang smiled and shrugged.
Shark didn't let them wait too long. A huge round bag suddenly rose from the calm sea surface, fitting tightly and seamlessly with the surrounding rocks.
The next moment, the raised sea surface broke open, and the sea water fell rapidly, and the spiritual shield blocked the sea water.
There was nothing in the broken sea water.
Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou noticed it and turned their gaze to look not far ahead.
There, Sharky in human form was walking quickly.
"Jitang?"
As he got closer, he became hesitant again, "Is it really Jitang?"
Ji Tang smiled, "It's me." She simply took off the Rongyin mirror and showed her true face.
When Sharky saw his deceased old friend appear before him, one can imagine how emotional he felt.
He roared and flew towards Ji Tang, shouting, "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
Ji Tang thought that if she had not been seriously injured, she would not have been so easily knocked down to the Nine Nether Abyss by the famous and righteous people.
Shaqi rushed over and wanted to hug Jitang, but was blocked by Su Jinzhou's spiritual shield.
Sharky turned his head and said, "Get out of here! Are you still jealous of me?"
envy?
Interest flashed in Jitang's eyes and he looked towards Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou: "Dirty."
"Dirty? Me?" Shark's voice rose three tones, and he pointed at himself in disbelief. Then he found that his body was wet with sea water, and there was some seaweed hanging on his arms.
"..." He immediately calmed down a lot, tidied himself up quickly, and then raised his chin towards Su Jinzhou.
I stayed in the boat all night and pretended not to see it.
Shaqi, "Su Jinzhou, don't go too far! I just lived in Jitang's sea of consciousness and spent days and nights with her in the Nine Nether Abyss. Why, are you so narrow-minded that you can't even stand this?"
Jitang: Could you be more deliberate?
She coughed, making her attitude clear, "Men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other, stop hugging."
Shark insisted, "What do you mean? We haven't seen each other for so long, and you won't even give me a hug?"
Jitang said that he must take the right stance, "I'm taken, just take a look."
Sharky, "What owner?"
He subconsciously looked at Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou put his hand on his chest and said, "I am also taken, please stop looking at me."
"Who cares to look at you!" Shark's eyes almost rolled up to the sky, and then he suddenly figured it out and asked in shock, "Are you two together?"
Jitang nodded: "Okay."
Sharky beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Why are you so jealous of this jealous bastard?!"
Jitang: “…”
Where do so many words come from?
Su Jinzhou sneered, "I think we haven't practiced for a long time. Should we go out and move around?"
Ji Tang watched silently as the two of them left the place of inheritance without saying a word. They started fighting as soon as they said they would. He was speechless.
She came here to look for an old friend, so how come these two started fighting before they could even say a few words?
She casually sat down on a stone beside her, and her body immediately shone brightly.
Su Jinzhou thickened the spiritual shield on her body, and Shaqi also put another layer of protective shield on her outside.
Ji Tang sat cross-legged, resting his arms on his legs and his chin on his palms. He said lazily, "Take it easy, don't make too much noise."
Before she could even utter the last word, her vision was dazzled.
Ji Tang drooped his shoulders, feeling bored.
Well, she should continue practicing.
