He actually had some doubts that Mu Hanyan would not keep her promise, and even wanted her to swear a poisonous oath, but seeing the coldness of her sword, he dared not say a word of doubt. In fact, whether Mu Hanyan kept her promise or not, he had no choice.
The only thing he could hope for was that Mu Hanyan would ignore them and treat them like shit and let them go.
"What!" Mu Hanyan looked at Zhao Zhiyuan in shock.
If Zhao Zhiyuan was not lying, then this rare treasure was tailor-made for Liuguang. As long as he found this rare treasure, Liuguang would be able to restore his Qilin bloodline and his strength would not be affected at all.
If not many people knew the true identity of Liuguang Qilin and Gao Weihu was the only one present, Mu Hanyan would even suspect that he had deliberately made up a lie in order to save his life.
Mu Hanyan was surprised and happy. She looked at Zhao Zhiyuan for a long time without saying a word. Zhao Zhiyuan's heart, which had finally calmed down, became anxious again.
"Chief Priest Mu, what I said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this five-colored soul bead. It is said that this five-colored soul bead was found by our ancestors near the rare treasure, and it is imbued with some of the treasure's spiritual energy. At the beginning, our ancestors found hundreds of such five-colored soul beads. Only the heirs of the family head from generation to generation, and those with outstanding qualifications, have the opportunity to get one." Zhao Zhiyuan said anxiously, fearing that Mu Hanyan would not believe his words.
As he spoke, he took out a five-colored soul bead and handed it to Mu Hanyan.
Extremely outstanding talent? Mu Hanyan really couldn't see what was so outstanding about his talent. This wasn't the way to flatter oneself.
But there was no time for nonsense at this moment. After accepting the Five-Colored Soul Orb, Mu Hanyan focused her mind and probed into it. Immediately, she sensed an extremely light and ethereal aura. Although the aura was extremely subtle, Mu Hanyan herself possessed thousands of Five-Colored Soul Orbs, so she could easily sense the difference. Her Five-Colored Soul Orbs definitely did not have this aura. Without a doubt, this aura was the spiritual energy that Zhao Zhiyuan had mentioned, imbued by the treasure.
With a single thought, the energy flowed into his meridians. Instantly, it felt like a pure spring flowing through his body. Every meridian, every muscle, every bone seemed to have been cleansed by the spring, washing away the impurities that had accumulated deep within his body. Every pore opened up, and he felt like he was reborn.
The aura was so subtle that it quickly dissipated, but the strange feeling lingered deep in her memory, as if imprinted on her soul. Mu Hanyan was certain that if the aura reached a certain strength, it would be able to heal Liuguang's bloodline and would likely also benefit her Ancient Life Tree.
"Where is this treasure?" Mu Hanyan asked, suppressing her inner excitement.
"I don't know about this either, but according to the last words of our ancestors, this five-colored soul bead is imbued with the spiritual energy of that treasure. As long as it is used properly, there will be a chance to find that rare treasure. However, the heads of our Zhao family have always kept in mind the teachings of their ancestors, but no one has ever found it." Zhao Zhiyuan replied.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Mu Hanyan was so anxious that she almost slapped Zhao Zhiyuan on the head.
The treasure spiritual energy he was referring to was naturally the breath that was completely different from the other five-colored soul beads, but that breath was too subtle and had already been absorbed by Mu Hanyan. Now what could he use to find the treasure?
"What's wrong, Master Priest?" Seeing Mu Hanyan's angry look, Zhao Zhiyuan felt uneasy and asked weakly.
"Did your ancestors tell you how to find the treasure if the spiritual energy of the treasure imbued in this five-colored soul bead disappears?" Mu Hanyan said unhappily.
"Disappeared? How is that possible? Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since our ancestors acquired these five-colored soul beads, yet the spiritual energy within them hasn't been lost at all." Zhao Zhiyuan asked doubtfully. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he opened his eyes abruptly. "Master Priest Mu, you didn't absorb and refine it, did you?"
"Isn't it possible?" Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes and had the urge to slap him again.
"You...how did you do it?" Zhao Zhiyuan stared at Mu Hanyan in surprise. "In order to find the treasure our ancestors mentioned, our ancestors of the Zhao family tried every possible way, but they didn't know how to use the spiritual energy imbued with this five-colored soul bead. Some people also speculated that in order to find the treasure, they must refine the spiritual energy, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't do it. According to their speculation, this five-colored soul bead came from an alien beast and was contaminated with a lot of foul air. The spiritual energy was contaminated by it, so it can no longer be used."
"Oh..." Mu Hanyan was a little surprised when she heard this.
For her, absorbing and refining that aura was easy, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult for others.
You have to know that the Zhao family has a long history. To have been able to pass it down to the present day, it must have produced many geniuses and prodigies. However, none of them were able to refine that aura or find that treasure.
Mu Hanyan's heart moved. Could it be that the guess of those members of the Zhao family was correct? In order to find that treasure, they must refine that aura?
But why couldn't they refine it, while she could do it so easily? After a little reflection, Mu Hanyan realized that her Tianxin technique could absorb the power of all things and use it for her own benefit, even refining poisons, let alone such a spiritual energy.
After understanding this, Mu Hanyan subconsciously focused her mind and looked inward, and was surprised to find that although the aura had disappeared, her spiritual power seemed to have undergone a subtle change. She couldn't explain what this change was, but she could only be sure of one thing, that is, although the aura disappeared, her spiritual power also changed.
Mu Hanyan also became more certain of the guesses of the Zhao family's ancestors. If they wanted to find the treasure, they had to first refine the spiritual energy imbued in the five-colored soul beads.
However, for a moment, Mu Hanyan couldn't figure out how to rely on the subtle changes in the power of divine consciousness to find the treasure, so she had to try slowly.
"You go back first and let Zhao Xinghu come over." Mu Hanyan said to Zhao Zhiyuan.
Although she believed his words 90%, Mu Hanyan still wanted to get the final confirmation from Zhao Xinghu. Moreover, she didn't know what to do after refining the spiritual energy. Perhaps Zhao Xinghu knew a little more than Zhao Zhiyuan.
Soon, Zhao Xinghong came running over happily.
"Master Priest, according to the last words left by our ancestors..." Zhao Xinghu said impatiently without waiting for Mu Hanyan to speak.
The fawning look on his face gave Mu Hanyan a chill. To survive, the old man was desperate, throwing away even the last bit of his dignity.
Soon, Zhao Xinghu finished speaking. Although he was very long-winded, the content was exactly the same as what Zhao Zhiyuan said. Mu Hanyan could also be sure that they were definitely not lying.
