Chapter 461 Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton
More than four months have passed since the battle of Yuntianxianyuan.
In the East China Sea, the climate is hot and the air is humid.
It was May, and even the sea breeze blowing in from the window was a heat wave.
Under the night sky.
The sea market on Yuelong Island is prosperous, bustling and noisy, with lanterns lit and crowds of people.
From the window propped up by wooden branches on the second floor of the restaurant, I looked down at the street below. Martial artists from various major sects and schools, wearing uniformly styled weapons and robes, could be seen everywhere, in groups of three or five, or even dozens of them in a row.
Yao Qingxuan sat facing the window, changed his face with the disguise technique, took off his hat, and let his black hair fall down.
She did not practice the "Bone-Changing and Soul-Changing Chapter".
However, his own cultivation is profound and his disguise technique is mysterious.
Unless one's realm is much higher than hers, one cannot see through her true form.
"Three months ago, you appeared at the Soul Market in Huangjiang River and were hunted by two sons of the Dao Cult. News quickly spread, and all the masters of the Jiuli Hidden Sect went into the Netherworld to search for you. Later, you led them to Old Yuzhou."
"These days, it's like you've disappeared from the face of the earth. Everyone is very worried."
Given Yao Qingxuan's status as a giant in the Immortal Realm and his aloof personality, he could say this, which meant that he not only regarded him as a hidden person from the Hidden Sect, but also that there was a sense of master-disciple friendship between them.
Because Li Weiyi was in Lingxiao City and tried every means to rescue her from the headquarters, the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Li Weiyi noticed that some eyes were staring at them inside the restaurant, on the street, and in several nearby buildings.
Obviously, the previous fierce battle on the beach, he, the swordsman, attracted the attention of many forces.
So, he released a telekinetic field that covered an area of ten feet.
Li Weiyi was peeling shrimp for Yu'er as he asked with a smile, "I spotted traces of the Hermit outside the old Yuzhou city. Did I lead him there as well?"
Yao Qingxuan was wearing a veil, and her pure immortal skin was as smooth as jade wax under the light on the wall.
Her eyes were icy, and her temperament was extraordinary, deeper and sharper than Yao Yin's. "He and Qin Lao were hunted by the Yang God Realm and fled into the Netherworld of the Dead, where they have been recovering from their injuries. Upon learning that you had entered the Netherworld, he tracked you down. He is now also in the Sea Market of Yuelong Island!"
Li Weiyi's eyes lit up, and he was amazed: "How many people from the Jiuli tribe have come?"
"No matter whether it is the younger generation or the older generation, as long as there is a chance to reach the realm of immortality, who would be willing to miss this great opportunity?" Yao Qingxuan asked back.
"What kind of great opportunity is this?"
Li Weiyi only knew that it seemed to be related to the ancient immortal dragon skeleton.
Yao Qingxuan stared at him, her eyelashes long and her red lips parted slightly. "It was you who sent the message back to Lingxiao Living Realm, stirring up all the martial artists and causing a stir in the world. You're asking me this now?"
Li Weiyi then shared the information he had gathered, then smiled wryly, "That's all I know."
Yao Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then his expression changed. "You just absorbed some of the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon's energy and quickly broke through? It seems that the martial artists in the Lingxiao Realm, including me, have underestimated this opportunity."
She recounted, "The letter you sent back to Lingxiao Living Realm three months ago ignited the passion of the younger generation and gave the older generation of martial artists, whose lifespans were limited, hope for immortality."
"However, the real reason that attracted everyone here was the accurate information released by Du'e Temple."
"The people from Du'e Temple, Daogong, and the East Sea Demon Clan have conducted an exploration of the sea area where the six-clawed immortal dragon's aura appeared."
"We've discovered that seabed energy is continuously escaping, the earth's plates are actively moving, and earthquakes are frequent. The aura of the ancient immortal dragon skeleton, buried deep within the earth's core, is also escaping, causing many mysterious events."
"For example, as you mentioned in your letter, a thousand-mile-long firefly fairy fire appeared on the sea."
"For example, the magnificent misty Phoenix Tree and the light and shadow of Dragon City, like a mirage, correspond to some ancient legends of the East Sea Monster Clan."
"Recently, there's another theory. Ten thousand years ago, Yu Jia was able to give birth to a flying dragon and a flying phoenix at the same time, and was able to achieve immortality against all odds. This was related to the ancient immortal dragon skeleton underground."
Li Weiyi's expression changed. "Which faction is trying to excavate the ancient immortal dragon skeleton? If it's related to Yu Jia, they're incredibly bold."
Digging up the corpses of ancient immortal beasts is extremely dangerous, and only the top ancient sects, royal courts, and countries dare to do so.
Moreover, you can't dig at any time.
Only when one is at the point of having to make ends meet will one consider this. The risk is enormous and a single misstep could lead to disaster.
Of course, the rewards are huge and there is no investment involved.
You know, the blood of the ancient immortal beast is sold by the drop.
It can transform mortals into powerful monsters. It is also a resource that monsters must continuously purchase on their journey of martial arts cultivation.
The blood of the ancient immortal beast is just the leftover material from the rewards of digging out the corpse of the ancient immortal beast.
After all, the ancient immortal beast had been dead for countless thousands of years, and the blood and vitality in its corpse had long since been lost, its immortal power dissipated, and its life energy no longer existed. It was a far cry from the true blood of an ancient immortal.
For people at a transcendent level, it is useless.
If it's related to Yujia, then it's completely different.
Yujia can be said to be the most recent ancient immortal beast from this era, no more than ten thousand years ago. The means it left behind must still contain terrifying energy, not completely corroded by time.
Yao Qingxuan said: "It's just a speculation! The reason for this speculation is that... the Western demon tribe got involved."
"Initially, it was Du'e Temple and Daogong who decided to join forces to excavate. And then there's the East Sea Monster Clan. After all, this is on their territory."
"Lingxiao Habitat is only qualified to share a piece of the pie because of Du'e Temple."
"As the news spread, martial artists from all the surrounding habitats rushed to the area. Even the ghost town of Dongxu was alarmed. In the past two weeks, they have been seen on the shores of the East China Sea."
The ghost town of Dongxu is located deep in the netherworld, outside the territory of the three hundred states of Lingxiao.
However, its sphere of influence can reach a radius of one million miles, including the entire Lingxiao Three Hundred States and five other nearby habitats.
The six habitats are just six spots dotted within the influence of the Dongxu Ghost City.
To the martial artists of Lingxiao Realm, the Ghost City of Dongxu seemed like a legend, far away in unimaginable depths, its presence even less felt than that of Du'e Temple. It was incomparable to the nearby Lord Lan.
Only a very few powerful people know that Lord Lan, who occupies thirty-one states, has to go to Dongxu Ghost City to worship and pay tribute every once in a while.
Yao Qingxuan said, "There's also a theory that the East Sea demon tribe was worried that Du'e Temple and Daogong would seize the lion's share of the profits, so they pulled the Western demon tribe in."
"Every time the corpse of an ancient immortal beast is excavated, the strength of the living and deceased souls in the nearby area will increase significantly."
"This great opportunity for transcendence and immortality allows one to eat meat. The younger generation of Dao Seed Realm and Five Seas Realm martial artists can only drink a sip of soup."
"Even if I could only absorb the energy of the six-clawed immortal dragon that erupted when the ancient immortal dragon skeleton was dug out, it would be a great opportunity."
"If I could dig up some immortal soil, ancient immortal blood soil, or some medicinal herbs, pick up some broken dragon scales, or absorb the immortal scriptures floating in the void, that would be a huge reward. As for other opportunities that require incredible luck to find, I don't even dare to think about it."
Li Weiyi immediately understood why all the martial artists in the world were attracted here.
Who wouldn't want to have a sip of this soup?
Especially the martial artists of the dragon species, the deformed species, and the old fellows who are nearing the end of their life span, they must come.
For a young giant like Yao Qingxuan who had just entered the realm of immortality, absorbing the energy of the six-clawed dragon was infinitely beneficial. However, for a great immortal, the appeal was greatly reduced.
"Master, would you like to have some too?" Li Weiyi handed over the peeled shrimp.
Yao Qingxuan ignored him and stared out the window.
Li Weiyi turned the shrimp over and placed it in Yu'er's bowl. The little girl was starving and had been eating her meal.
He could understand why Yao Qingxuan had no appetite: "Does Yao Yin know that you are still alive?"
"She just came here from Du'e Temple four days ago." Yao Qingxuan no longer regarded Li Weiyi as a junior. Many topics could be discussed.
A person who can easily defeat the leader of a state can definitely be on par with her.
Li Weiyi said, "It's something you'll have to face sooner or later. Have you figured out how to tell her? Do you want me to step in? I still have some points of respect with her."
Yao Qingxuan's eyes fell on his face: "Don't meddle in other people's business! Where did this child come from?"
"Yu'er, you are my disciple." Li Weiyi said.
Yu'er raised her head and looked at Yao Qingxuan: "You are my master's master, so you are Yu'er's great master?"
"Hey, no need to be so polite."
Li Weiyi didn't want to let Yao Qingxuan down. Who knew if the Grand Palace Master would take revenge after he recovered because he couldn't figure it out?
Yao Qingxuan didn't care too much about it. He and Li Weiyi were not true master and disciple. Did he still have to act like a master or a grandmaster?
A melancholy lingered between her brows as she asked, "What about the truth of suffering?"
"She has been taken back to the ship by her senior brother."
Li Weiyi knew that Yao Qingxuan and An Xianjing had a sincere relationship. "Don't worry, it's okay. Qiongji Daozi's character and heart are indeed not very good, but with Palace Master An's support, he will definitely take good care of his junior sister."
Yao Qingxuan frowned: "Have you forgotten how he took care of you when I asked him to take care of you at the Rice Sect headquarters?"
Li Weiyi said, "He's just jealous! Ku Di's talent isn't necessarily higher than his... Master, aren't you overthinking it? Palace Master An has indeed been very caring and tolerant of us, but she's definitely not someone who tolerates any injustice. Her methods are very ruthless. Otherwise, how could she survive in Coffin Mountain and the Rice Sect?"
Yao Qingxuan asked seriously, "Have you seen her?"
"Yes, it was Palace Master An who sent me here. Otherwise, why would I travel with Ku Di? If it weren't for Palace Master An, given the grudge between me and the little nun, I would have to ask her for some compensation to avenge the Qianlong Lantern Festival." Li Weiyi said with a smile.
Yao Qingxuan sighed in his heart and asked in a guilty tone: "Is her injury healed?"
