Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 412 Treasure Offering
On the top of the sunny forest mountain, the sunlight shines through the branches and leaves of the ancient trees, spreading across the ground in patches.

Xu Yuanchang held up the upgraded six-ray wooden staff that had just been delivered to him, examined it carefully in the sunlight, and injected a little bit of magic power into it. Colorful light flowed on the crystal-like surface of the staff, and the beautiful and exquisite wood grain seemed to come alive.

The seven gems inlaid on the staff shone in unison.

A new hole was drilled on the staff, making it half a foot shorter than before.

He could tell that it was because the Six Paths Wood material was condensed to the extreme. The surface was covered with five layers of natural tree grains formed by seventh-level materials, which were integrated into one to connect the energy of heaven and earth and gems, and completely transformed the previous magic wand into a seventh-level treasure.

The former acting leader, You Yanping, officially took over the position of leader two years ago.

Lu Jiuzhen has completely put aside the affairs of the sect and has gone out to travel, preparing for a breakthrough in a few decades.

You Yanping specially ran to deliver the staff up the mountain. Walking on the side, he saw that Master Xu looked satisfied and said with a smile, "Great Protector, if you need to replace any gemstones, just tell me."

"I have the heart, but I don't need it for now."

Xu Yuanchang wiped the surface of the staff with his palm, and the magic power and spiritual consciousness permeated it. In a moment, he refined the staff again and invited him, "Yanping, you have worked hard. Come in and have a cup of tea."

"It's not hard. Yanping, please give the Great Protector a cup of tea."

You Yanping had long been told by his master that Old Master Xu was not a man of high rank, and that he should run around diligently whenever he had the chance.

Xu Yuanchang tapped his left palm gently with his staff, walked in front, and said with a smile: "That wild girl never stays at home, running around the sect, causing trouble for you guys."

"Junior sister Xiao Meng is innocent and lively, and she is popular wherever she goes."

You Yanping flattered with a smile. He specially arranged a junior sister from the fifth floor to look after her in secret for a few years. In case Junior Sister Xiao Meng ran away from the mountain gate, she had to be carefully watched and persuaded to come back in time.

The two men walked into the hall of the stone fortress, and two communication talisman lights flew over one after another.

Xu Yuanchang and You Yanping took them respectively.

"Haha, 'It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar', Yanping, come with me to welcome a distinguished guest."

Xu Yuanchang put away his staff and raised the communication talisman sent by Nie Xiaomeng.

The little girl told him that there was a young man who claimed to be an old friend of the master. He spoke in a frighteningly loud tone and asked the master to go to the mountain gate in person to welcome him.

When Xu Yuanchang heard the little girl repeating the boy's annoying words, he immediately guessed who that person was.

I didn't expect Lao Li to come to my door so soon.

After he was promoted to the seventh floor, he used the sect's information channels to find out that there were no figures like Ye Changmeng, Taoist Yanshan, and Zeng Wanglou on the three continents and several large islands in Liuyun Domain.

The message You Yanping received was from the monk on duty at the mountain gate, and the content was similar.

First ask for instructions and report to the sect leader, who will then report to Master Xu for a decision. You cannot report without authorization or in violation of the rules.

It was the first time that You Yanping saw Master Xu so happy, and curiously he followed him into the air.

After a while, it landed at the mountain gate.

Chang Xu Yuan walked out from the side door and saw Nie Xiaomeng sticking her head out to talk to the smiling boy outside. The other monks on duty and Pang Ya's playmates all bowed and stepped back.

"Rare guest, rare guest, what should I call you?"

Xu Yuanchang smiled and walked forward with his fists clasped.

He had never seen Ye Changmeng after his reincarnation. The few times they had interacted in the dark world were all shrouded in mystery. But when they met at this moment, he recognized who the other was. The meanness in his bones could not be changed even if he was burned to ashes.

He said something that surprised the little girl and You Yanping who were following him.

The young man jumped up and slapped the shoulder of Xu Xiaozi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, as a greeting. He hooked his arm around the grinning Xu Xiaozi's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "You can call me Old Ye or Brother Ye. You are lucky. Where did you find such an interesting little girl? How about giving her to me as my apprentice? You can't teach illusions, so don't mislead my students."

Being accused by the young man in person of not being able to teach illusion techniques, Xu Yuanchang did not lose his temper at all and smiled particularly brightly.

He stretched out his left hand and unceremoniously grabbed the jade pendant on the boy's waist.

Nie Xiaomeng refused to do this, and protested softly with her lips curled: "No, I want to follow Master."

In her heart, her master is the most powerful illusionist in the world, a man who stands tall and proud.

Xu Yuanchang tore off a piece of glittering jade pendant, stuffed it into his apprentice's pocket, and said with a smile: "Why don't you thank Master Ye for the reward? This is a life-saving gift."

Nie Xiaomeng took the gift from her master with a smile, clasped her fists and bowed: "Nie Xiaomeng greets Master Ye, thank you for your generous gift."

The young man pushed away the shameless man who wanted to snatch the pearl from his waist and tempted him, "Xiao Meng, follow your uncle. Your uncle is much more capable than your master. Wherever you go, your uncle will bully you. When you are not bullied, you will have access to natural treasures."

"Xiao Meng doesn't like to bully others. Auntie Pang said that only bad kids bully others."

Nie Xiaomeng replied cunningly, making an indirect accusation.

She would feel relieved as long as her master didn't send her to the uncle who showed up out of nowhere.

Seeing the young man's humiliation, Xu Yuanchang laughed loudly and changed the subject, asking, "Brother Ye, where is your temple now?"

"Eastern Travel Region, Jinhe Palace."

Ye Changmeng raised his fist to scare the little girl. After his reincarnation, he had some youthful nature, so he always dressed like a boy. However, he would not show any respect to other people and almost ignored them. He said, "When are you going to the East Travel Region? I will be your guide and take a good look at the beautiful rivers and mountains in this foreign land."

Xu Yuanchang thought it was an ordinary invitation and said, "There are still forty years left. I promised Senior Brother Cao that after I was promoted to the seventh floor, I would stay in Liuyun Territory for a full sixty years. When the time comes, I will definitely visit Dongyou Territory."

He saw that Ye Changmeng had broken through the realm of the seventh floor, and ordered You Yanping: "Open the mountain gate, inform senior brother and senior brother Cen, and ask them to come over if they have time. We have a distinguished guest visiting Wuliu Mountain." You Yanping immediately realized that the smiling young man in front of him was actually a hidden old freak of the eighth floor. He bowed and agreed, then retreated back to the mountain gate. He quickly sent a message to the two ancestors, ordering the monks on duty to open the mountain gate and disperse the thick fog that had been shrouding the mountain for many years.

A moment later, Cao Wanxin and Cen Kan both arrived and stepped forward to pay their respects.

Xu Yuanchang introduced the two parties. Since Cen Kan was promoted to the seventh level of physical cultivation, he called him second senior brother again.

His intention was to let the two brothers get acquainted with Old Ye, so that they would have a safe place to stay when traveling to the East Travel Region in the future. Besides, Old Ye had come all the way to visit him, and no matter how familiar he and Ye Changmeng were with each other and how informal they were, he still had to arrange some ceremony to show his respect for the great man from the Eighth Floor.

Amid the sound of welcoming music, everyone accompanied the young man into Wuliu Mountain through the middle gate.

After arriving at Qinglin Palace, they had tea and chatted for a while before Cao Wanxin and Cen Kan said goodbye and left.

The two had not expected that Junior Brother Xu actually had such a close relationship with a great master from the Eighth Floor Tower in the East Travel Region. They spoke without restraint and naturally. For a moment, they could not guess how respected Junior Brother Xu was in the master's sect in Fangcun Mountain?

After all, Junior Brother Xu at that time was only at the sixth level of cultivation.

It would be absurd for Senior Ye to be on equal terms with Junior Brother Xu, who is two realms apart from him.

Nie Xiaomeng stayed in the main hall to serve tea. She was quite curious about her uncle who seemed young.

Suddenly, a shadow stood up from the seated Ye Changmeng. After one step, the shadow became real. He greeted the surprised little girl with a smile and said, "Let's go out and play. I will teach you magic."

Nie Xiaomeng saw her master nodding with a smile, and another uncle sitting and drinking tea. She guessed that her master and uncle were going to discuss secrets, so she quickly agreed, put down the teapot, and ran out of the hall. Seeing that the uncle was already waiting for her, she thought for a moment, leaned closer and whispered, "Little uncle, can you teach me to create another me? That way I can practice in the mountains while playing around with Fatty and the others, without delaying either task. Otherwise, I won't be able to have fun, and I'm always worried that my master will be disappointed in me."

The young man stroked his forehead, this is extremely difficult.

The little girl is so bold, even more cruel than her master.

The ban in the hall has been lifted.

Xu Yuan took out the Purple Qi Enlightenment Stone, Dark Gold Seed and Blood Crystal Soul Jade mysteriously, put them on the table and said, "Old Ye, you came just in time. Help me clean these three items. It's not a good thing to have good things that can't be used and worry about them every day."

Ye Changmeng casually took the Purple Qi Enlightenment Spirit Stone and the Blood Crystal Soul Jade. A layer of invisible flame burned over them, cleaning off the unique marks left by the powerful. He pressed his palms with both hands, changed the form of the two treasures, and threw them to the boy Xu opposite him, saying, "Don't worry, just wear them. It's best to make a sacrifice."

He gently picked up the dark golden seed on the table, which was as thick as a grain of rice. After cleaning the mark, he used his spiritual sense to feel it carefully. With a cautious look on his face, he said, "This is a spiritual seed that contains divine power. It can absorb vitality and blood. A long time ago, a certain Shinto sect used it to worship the ancient gods in order to achieve a breakthrough and improvement in cultivation."

His knowledge was far superior to that of Xu, so he asked, "Can you tell me where the sacrificial spirit seeds came from?"

Xu Yuanchang immediately understood that this seed was of an evil nature, and he recounted in detail the tortuous process of how he obtained the three treasures. He had also fulfilled his promise long ago to send the remaining soul of the burrowing dragon into the netherworld, but with a little manipulation, even if the burrowing dragon could successfully reincarnate, it would certainly not be able to remember its past lives, so it had to practice slowly.

He used the seventh-level cultivation level to perform the Shinto secrets he had learned, not wanting to leave himself any possible hidden dangers.

"You mean that Qi Laoguai from Peiyuan Sect knew the purpose of the sacrificial spirit seeds and deliberately let the descendants of the sixth-floor monks carry them with them so that they can slowly absorb their vitality and blood. Isn't this too cruel?"

"You are surprised by what you have never seen before. The world of cultivation is the dirtiest. I have even seen family ancestors raising their descendants as blood food just to find breakthroughs for themselves. You, put away your ignorant face and good intentions, and follow your brother to learn the black-hearted way of survival from now on."

Ye Changmeng found an opportunity to sneer and retort, tossing the sacrificial spirit seeds in his palm and saying, "If you don't mind, I will keep the spirit seeds for you first, and I will go and ask an expert to see if the spirit seeds can be used in the future."

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand generously: "Take it. What's there to worry about? You robbed me of all my savings back then. Did I ever say anything weird?"

Ye Changmeng rolled his eyes, put away the sacrificial spirit seeds, spitted at the other side and shouted: "Boy, it is not gentlemanly to look up the almanac for no reason. I never owe anyone a favor, I have already paid you back, what do you mean?"

"Haha, Brother Ye, don't get excited. Anger is bad for your health. I just mentioned it casually when I thought of it. I really don't mean to open up scars."

Xu Yuanchang put the flat purple spiritual enlightenment stone and blood crystal soul jade into his arms, slowly improving the absorption of spiritual energy and nourishment of the soul. The benefits will become apparent over time. He took out the incomprehensible jade seal from the shelf of the space treasure house.

Since Old Ye came to him, of course he had to seize him and use him like a slave.

"Brother, can you help me take a look at this seal again? What is the purpose of this seal?"

He spent a lot of time reading through the sect's vast collection of books and scriptures, trying to understand the meaning of the taboo words on the jade seal. The result certainly did not satisfy him, as he could not find any similar taboo words or secret codes.

It was inconvenient for him to ask Senior Brother Cao for advice. In case it involved the Yunyin Secret Realm, it would make Senior Brother Cao worried.

Ye Changmeng took the jade seal into the air, turned it over and over to examine it. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Brother Xu, why don't I join Wuliu Mountain and follow you? I can pick up the scraps that you don't recognize, and that will be enough for me."

Xu Yuanchang laughed and urged, "What good stuff? Tell me now, don't keep us in suspense."

Ye Changmeng pointed at one of the taboo characters and explained, "This one is pronounced 'lei', and the other runes are all related to wind, rain, thunder and lightning. You've made a fortune, kid. This is a 'Thunder Seal' left over from ancient times. If you don't cultivate thunder and lightning, it won't be of much use to you. But for thunder cultivators or gods who specialize in thunder and lightning, it's the lifeblood of a breakthrough."

Xu Yuanchang curled his lips and said with some disappointment: "I can't use it after all this time. I'm so happy for nothing."

Ye Changmeng was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slammed two chestnuts at them at lightning speed, cursing: "Can't you exchange it for a treasure you can use? For example, the ancient seals such as the 'Seal of the Master of the Capital Sutra', the 'Seal of the Chaos Tai Chi' and the 'Seal of the Lord of the Capital Heaven' are extremely rare and must be exchanged for a seal of the same kind. With your shitty luck, maybe you will come across one sooner or later?" He muttered again: "I suspect that the old man is muddying the waters..."

He spoke quickly and vaguely.

Xu Yuanchang rubbed his forehead as he didn't hear clearly, and chuckled foolishly. He asked Lao Ye how to identify the taboo words on various seals and what the uses of ancient seals were, so as to avoid missing out on opportunities in the future.

An old person in the family is like a treasure.

Ye Changmeng told him everything he knew, although his attitude was not very good, and he finished teaching in half an hour.

Seeing Xu Yuanchang bringing out another ten-foot-high bronze tablet of heavenly script, he shook his hand and said, "This divine treasure... you asked the wrong person. I don't know how to use it. Next time you see Wu Yao, just ask him. For my sake, if you are sincere, he will teach you."

Xu Yuanchang was half-believing and half-doubting, and felt that what Old Ye said was not entirely true. He put away the bronze tablet and asked, "You haven't said anything yet, why did you come to my house?"

Ye Changmeng lied without blushing, "I have traveled around the seven regions, asking around for your whereabouts. Don't you believe me?" He asked first, "Tell me first, is that the eighth-level illusionist who caused trouble in Liuyun Region 20 years ago someone you know? Don't try to fool me, tell me the truth."
