Chapter 725
When Wantinggu was thinking about how to show his attitude to this guy, he saw the man burst into laughter, and his grandson's face was full of black lines.
The man came over and stretched out his hand to pinch his grandson's face. Wan Tinggu finally had a chance to use his skills. He slapped his hand away and said angrily: "What are you doing, kid?"
Yue Chenchu twitched his lips, then bowed respectfully to Wan Tinggu: "Yue Chenchu greets grandpa, thank you for taking care of Yuan Jing along the way."
Wan Tinggu's eyes widened. How dare this kid call him grandpa? "I don't have a grandson as old as you. Don't try to get close to me. Xiaojing, let's go."
Yuan Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly. Great, you dare to laugh at me, so he turned around and left with his grandfather. Yue Chenchu hurriedly chased after him: "Don't, haven't you pinched me before? Now I'm pinching you back. Maybe it will be your turn to pinch me next time. Grandpa, you don't know that in my previous life, I was reincarnated as a newly hatched dragon cub, and Yuan Jing raised me all the way..."
Yue Chenchu followed behind and told many things about the previous life. Wan Tinggu listened with great interest. Well, let this kid go for now, and next time he will pinch his grandson's face and see how he responds.
The little golden dragon wearing the gold bracelet on Yuan Jing's hand poked out its little head to glance at Yue Chenchu, then grinned in glee. It was this guy who always bullied him in his previous life, and this time someone avenged him.
Wantinggu led Yuan Jing to rent a cave for cultivation in the city to live there temporarily. They had to find a way to earn some immortal stones. If they wanted to buy information, the expense would be considerable, and their cultivation could not be delayed.
The rent had drained away the last bit of wealth that Yue Chenchu and Wantingu had. The task of earning immortal stones was imminent, but Wantingu took out the jade slip first and asked Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu, "Who of you wants to see it?"
"Let me do it." Yue Chenchu took the jade slip and checked the contents inside. He had to admit that although the price was expensive, the information was still worth buying. Otherwise, as they were far away from the Hanyue Fairyland, it would be very difficult for them to inquire about the news there, especially some secret information.
Yue Chenchu repeated, "The Xianlan Sect was rebuilt on the basis of an ancient sect. It is said that the ancient sect possessed a method that allowed cultivators to comprehend the mysteries of the immortal world and transcend the immortal world. After the Xianlan Sect was established, this thing fell into the hands of the Xianlan Sect."
Wan Tinggu took a breath and said, "Transcend the immortal world? Ascend to become a god? Is it really possible to transcend? If that's what they were after, then the extermination of the Xianlan Sect was no simple matter."
Yue Chenchu continued, "This is just a legend, but the Xianlan Sect was indeed destroyed by the combined efforts of many forces. At that time, the battle was so fierce that no one could find the legendary object. Some people also said that the object fell into a space crack and drifted to the lower world, but it is unknown which lower world it was. Therefore, several forces forcibly opened a passage and sent monks to the lower world to reincarnate and cultivate again, just to find that object."
"There are four possible forces listed by the Tianji Pavilion, and the most suspicious one is the Shao family of Hanyue Fairyland."
Hearing this, Yuan Jing showed a look of surprise: "Could it be that Shao Lu is from this Shao family? Is this family very powerful?"
Yue Chenchu put down the jade slip, shook his head and said: "The Tianji Pavilion is very cunning. If you want to know the specific situation, you have to pay for it with immortal stones. However, since they can join forces with several other forces to destroy the Xianlan Sect, I think they are quite powerful."
Wan Tinggu and Yuan Jing also read the contents of the jade slip again. Yuan Jing said, "At least we have a target now. The Shao family is indeed the most suspicious. Looking at Shao Lu's personality, I'm afraid he has a high status in this family. I'm a little worried about the others. Where is the ascension pool that is connected to the world?"
Wan Tinggu said: "Yes, we still have to continue to earn immortal stones. This answer must be sold in the Tianji Pavilion."
Yue Chenchu and Yuan Jing smiled at each other. Indeed, the biggest problem was that they had no immortal stones. Without them, they couldn't even make progress.
So the three of them stayed in this temporary cave first. Wantinggu took Yue Chenchu out of the city all day to hunt fairy beasts and collect fairy herbs, which could be exchanged for fairy stones after returning to the city. In the spare time, Yue Chenchu continued to refine weapons to support his family. Seeing that this kid had other skills, Wantinggu was somewhat relieved.
Yuan Jing was not idle either. The speed of earning immortal stones by relying on these two people was a bit slow. During the previous six months with Cheng Lan, Yuan Jing read a lot of books on alchemy from him, so refining basic immortal pills was not a problem.
Moreover, he found that it was much easier for him to refine pills than others. He did not need the help of an alchemy furnace. He could directly use the power of the small world as the cauldron of heaven and earth. When he refined the first batch of elixirs, Wantinggu was extremely surprised. His grandson was really a genius. The elixir he refined for the first time was of such good quality. If Cheng Lan knew that his grandson was so talented in alchemy, he would definitely want to give all the goods in his stomach to his grandson.
However, Wantinggu only informed Cheng Lan after Yuan Jing successfully built his foundation, and did not elaborate on Yuan Jing's specific situation. Because Yuan Jing's situation was too special, he could not trust this good friend 100%.
Wantinggu felt quite pressured. Although he was a Golden Immortal now and Yue Chenchu was still a Celestial Immortal, he found that he, a Golden Immortal, was not as good as Yue Chenchu, a Celestial Immortal, in killing immortal beasts. This boy's fighting power was amazing and his cultivation was improving very fast. He suspected that if this trend continued, the day when this boy surpassed him would not be too far away.
If he wasn't busy earning immortal stones for his grandson, Wantinggu would have really wanted to practice in seclusion so as to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Even if he was going to be surpassed, it would be better to do it later. Otherwise, would he, as a grandfather, still have the dignity of an elder?
If Yue Chenchu knew what Wantinggu was thinking, he would tell him that his grandfather's identity only existed because of Yuan Jing, and had nothing to do with his cultivation strength.
"You said that you were expelled from the Qingming Sect? Your master also said that you were betraying your master and ancestors?" Wan Tinggu felt that this kid had a lot of troubles.
Yue Chenchu threw the hunted fairy beast into the storage ring and said, "This is the karma left by this body. Of course, it is mine now. Don't worry, grandpa. The Qingming Sect poses no threat to me and Yuan Jing. Compared with the Qingming Sect, the things in Hanyue Fairyland are more important."
Wan Tinggu smacked his lips unhappily: "Then can you wash off this reputation?" He looked at Yue Chenchu carefully and found that there was no trace of possession on him. He couldn't help but ask, "You and Xiaojing's origins, you really don't know anything at all?"
Yue Chenchu turned around and smiled: "Grandpa, do you think this is important? I think what's important is that Yuan Jing and I are still together, or I came here for him."
Wan Tinggu was somewhat shocked. Did this kid come for his grandson? Then what was his origin that allowed him to undergo training for life after life?
He thought of the legend about the Xianlan Sect, and a bold idea popped up in his mind, but he immediately shook it off. It would be better to give up on this idea. A legend could lead to the destruction of the entire Xianlan Sect. What would happen if others guessed their background?
Wan Tinggu said seriously: "I don't care what you do for, I just want my grandson in this life to live well."
Yue Chenchu also looked at Wan Tinggu seriously, knowing that this man really took care of Yuan Jing as his own grandson. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, grandpa, Yuan Jing and I will live well."
When the two men returned to the temporary cave, Yuan Jing discovered that the atmosphere between them seemed to be different, but both of them tacitly did not mention a word. Forget it, Yuan Jing was too lazy to pay attention. If Yue Chenchu really wanted to make his grandfather happy, there would be absolutely no problem with that.
Yuan Jing gave the immortal stones he got from selling the immortal pills to Yue Chenchu. Wan Tinggu felt very upset. Why didn't his grandson take charge of the accounts?
Yue Chenchu went out for a while, and when he came back, he brought back a piece of news: "It's good news. The ascension channel to that world is not in Hanyue Fairyland, but in Qingwu Fairyland, which is adjacent to Hanyue Fairyland. Coincidentally, I came all the way from Qingwu Fairyland, but I have no impression of it. I can only say that the ascension channel in Qingwu Fairyland should connect to many lower realms, and the fairyland is very large."
"There is another piece of bad news. The young master of the Shao family in Hanyue Fairyland is called Shao Lu. More than 3,000 years ago, Shao Lu was seriously injured for unknown reasons. For this injury, the head of the Shao family specially went to Hanyue Fairy Palace and asked an immortal king of the palace to give him a precious medicine to stabilize his condition. Later, it took hundreds of years to recover. It is said that during the period of recuperation, Shao Lu ordered people to go to Qingwu Fairyland to find someone, but no results have been found so far. Shao Lu's cultivation has not improved much in the past 3,000 years and he still remains at the Golden Immortal stage. Some people outside suspect that Shao Lu has left a demon in his heart because of that injury, and it is difficult to make progress without getting rid of the demon."
Only three thousand years have passed here, which is somewhat of a consolation to him and Yuan Jing. If calculated based on the accumulated time of all the worlds they have traveled through, I am afraid that by the time they return here, earth-shaking changes will have occurred, and it will be too late to save anything.
"The worst news among the bad news is that someone from the Shaw family works for Hanyue Palace. Having run the palace for so many years, I think they have a lot of influence in Hanyue Palace. If they confront the Shaw family, Hanyue Palace will probably be implicated."
Yuan Jing smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. This is really bad news among bad news. I didn't expect the Shao family to be more troublesome than I thought. When the Shao family sent people to Qingwu Immortal Realm to look for someone, did they capture anyone and bring them back?"
Yue Chenchu spread his hands helplessly and said: "Tianji Pavilion said that this is the content of the next message."
Wan Tinggu was depressed after hearing this: "He's so greedy for immortal stones. He spent all the immortal stones he earned on Tianji Pavilion."
Yue Chenchu came over and rubbed Yuan Jing's head. It felt very good. He thought that Yuan Jing should be rubbed more while he was still young. But he said seriously:
"There is good news in the bad news. Until now, Shao Lu must be suspicious of our origins, because the Ascension Pool is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Palace. Every cultivator who ascends from the lower realm must register their identity in the Immortal Palace. I guess the Shao family has been paying attention to us for so many years but has not found our registration records. Even if they catch a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm, the information they get from them can only further prove that our origins are a secret and we have not ascended to this world."
I don’t know when Shao Lu will be able to react. They may very likely become the natives of this world, but it will be extremely difficult to find people among the natives.
