235 Gearing up for battle
Since the establishment of Kunlun Palace, the blue bird has been the symbol of Kunlun Palace.
The disciples of Kunlun Palace respect the blue bird in the mountains and give it protection. There is even a guest elder of the Blue Bird clan who is in the fusion stage in Kunlun Palace.
The Bluebird Clan is very arrogant and never looks down upon people with lower cultivation than themselves.
However, the bluebird took the initiative to stay in front of Jiang Xin and let her hug it.
Even after being released by Jiang Xin, the bluebird still circled around Jiang Xin reluctantly.
Jiang Xin's saliva was about to flow again.
[I really want to eat bluebird, it tastes so good when roasted! 】
[We must catch two and bring them back to Tianshui Sect to raise, so that we will always have blue birds to eat in the future. 】
Lin Yan picked up Jiang Xin and pressed her head into his arms, preventing her from looking at the blue bird again.
The fellow disciples glanced at Dai Hanshu guiltily and found that he was staring at Jiang Xin. They were worried that he would notice Jiang Xin's thoughts.
Ning Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, Senior. My little sister is still young and doesn't know much."
"What is it about her that interests Bluebird?" Dai Hanshu asked straight to the point.
Ning Yao was confused by this question: "No...why don't you ask Bluebird?"
Dai Hanshu called back the bluebird that was hovering around Jiang Xin.
The light and small bluebird landed on his arm and quickly turned into a wisp of blue smoke that sank into his light pine green clothes, turning into a bluebird pattern on the clothes.
Chu Linfeng was amazed: "This is not a living blue bird, but a totem-born one?"
Dai Hanshu nodded: "After the dead bluebird souls are refined, they are transformed into totems. Given time, when they are cultivated to the Void Refining Stage, these bluebird souls can be reborn."
This soul refining process is different from the refining process of Qiao Yuan or the soul-summoning banner spirit.
The latter are extremely miserable, as their souls are used purely for the purpose of exploitation, yet it is difficult for them to be freed.
The Kunlun Palace's method of refining is to gather together souls that are about to dissipate. The imperial chair and clothes carrying the totem are just containers to nourish these souls and will not harm them.
However, this refining method is extremely difficult and the success rate is very low.
Furthermore, before these spirits fully come alive, they only act according to instinct and the orders of their masters and cannot communicate with them.
Therefore, we have no idea why Blue Bird values Jiang Xin.
Chu Linfeng thought that the bluebirds might have sensed that his junior sister wanted to eat them, but he didn't dare to say it.
Lin Yan was afraid that if he continued to ask, Jiang Xin would speak out her true feelings, so he took the opportunity to change the subject: "Kunlun Palace is indeed home to many talented people. You can even easily master such a difficult weapon refining method. I admire you."
Unfortunately, Dai Hanshu was not distracted by them: "So why does Blue Bird favor your junior sister?"
The fellow disciples looked at each other, feeling anxious and embarrassed.
[Brothers, why are you panicking?] 】
[Bluebirds are really delicious. I must catch one for them and my junior brothers to taste. 】
Jiang Xin is ready to fight.
Lin Yan hugged her tightly, not allowing her to move.
Ning Yao lied in an extremely unnatural manner: "It should be... maybe... maybe it's because Junior Sister is gifted and Bluebird noticed it."
Dai Hanshu glanced at him, thought for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.
This is the daughter of Jiang Yichen and Qi Lanqing. She might have a secret treasure given by her parents, which is why she attracted the attention of Qingniao.
Dai Hanshu's eyes moved around them and stopped at Zhao Shi: "You have been looking at me, why?"
Meeting his icy blue eyes, Zhao Shi frowned.
The young man's hands hidden in his sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists, and Zhao Shi slowly spoke: "Palace Master, do you still remember Qiao Yuan from the Qiao family in Mubian City?"
His voice was a little strange, as if he was speaking word by word.
"The eldest lady of the Qiao family, the genius of the Qiao family back then?" Dai Hanshu asked.
Zhao Shi nodded.
"Remember, how about it?" Dai Hanshu looked at Zhaoshi. Unfortunately, Zhao Shi was wearing a mask and he couldn't see any expression on the boy's face.
It’s just that Dai Hanshu’s tone was so bland that it made people uncomfortable.
All kinds of emotions were surging in Zhaoshi's heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He didn't speak, and no one else dared to reveal his background.
Dai Hanshu stared at him for a moment and took the initiative to ask: "I heard that Qiao Yuan gave birth to a son, who should be about your age. Are you here for this?"
Zhao Shi hesitated for a moment and admitted, "That's right."
Dai Hanshu said: "Qiao Yuan and I traveled together in the Moon Clan Secret Realm for a period of time. Later, something unexpected happened in the secret realm and I was separated from her and never saw her again."
This answer was too simple, making Zhao Shi suspicious: "Just like that?"
Dai Hanshu said affirmatively: "That's all."
The two of them confronted each other for a moment, and Dai Hanshu suddenly asked, "Did Qiao Shizhong ask you to come?"
"How do you know?" Chu Linfeng was puzzled.
"At that time, Qiao Shizhong and Qiao Yuan entered the Moon Clan's secret realm together. He saw through my identity as a disciple of Kunlun Palace and wanted to enter Kunlun Palace through me. For this reason, he disappeared for a while." Dai Hanshu stopped there, but combined with the information given by Wu Cheng, Zhao Shi suddenly understood - Qiao Shizhong was using Qiao Yuan as a favor to try to win over Dai Hanshu!
brute!
The extreme anger made Zhao Shi look at Dai Hanshu with murderous intent in his eyes.
Dai Hanshu was indifferent: "I do admire Qiao Yuan's talent and hard work, but that's all. If you don't believe me, I can give you a drop of blood to verify it."
Chu Linfeng muttered softly: "Your cultivation is higher than ours, you can definitely fake it in the blood."
Dai Hanshu said calmly: "You are all disciples of Tianshui Sect. It has always been the Tianshui Sect that cheats others. When has anyone ever cheated the Tianshui Sect?"
Wen Ziqi laughed unkindly and quickly covered his mouth.
Jiang Xin patted the spirit beast bag at her waist, and two furry tiger heads popped out of it: "Don't worry, little ancestor, we are watching and will never let him cheat."
These two Qiongqi clones are at the Fusion Stage, and it is easy for them to suppress Dai Hanshu, who is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Suddenly seeing two fusion stage demon beast heads appearing nearby, Wen Ziqi was startled and took nine steps back, wanting to run away: "Why are you carrying this kind of thing with you - Senior?"
Jiang Xin didn't understand why he was surprised: "As a good owner, of course I have to bring the cat with me when I go out to play."
"But...but this is the fusion stage, right?" Wen Ziqi lowered his voice unconsciously, fearing that the two Qiongqi would swallow him up in one breath. "Why didn't you ask them to come out when you fought with Qiao Shihui before?"
Jiang Xin said righteously: "I am a responsible owner. I can't rely on the cat for everything."
This time she went out for experience, and she had made an agreement with her senior and junior brothers that they would not ask the Qiongqi for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
The main purpose of calling out Qiongqi this time was to save time, in case they discovered that Dai Hanshu had cheated and they had to come again.
Wen Ziqi shut up silently and stole a glance at Dai Hanshu's expression.
Seeing that the Palace Master of Kunlun Palace, who had been indifferent since his appearance, also showed an unnatural look on his face, Wen Ziqi's heart was subtly balanced.
Fortunately, he was not the only one who was frightened.
