Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 78: The Master and Servant's Magical Power of the Great Harmony Technique

"Master Immortal, we have arrived at Sangxing Island. If you don't mind, you can come to my house and sit for a while. My ancestors have a jar of tea made from hundreds of years old bitter mulberry leaves, which can clear the mind and soothe the spirit. I hope Master Immortal can taste some of it."

Half a month later, the owner of the merchant ship came to Zhao Shuang's door and invited him respectfully.

His eyes were full of anticipation. After all, being able to invite a cultivator into his home as a guest would definitely be a good thing for his entire caravan and the family behind it.

After all, no matter where the immortal cultivators are, they are always high and mighty and omnipotent.

Now that he has met her, he naturally will not miss her easily, but he will not force it, so as not to anger the cultivator.

In this way, their entire caravan would be killed, and afterward, Sangxing Island probably wouldn't pursue any matter.

Although the distant and supreme Star Palace has regulations that cultivators are not allowed to attack caravans at sea at will, even if a caravan encounters danger at sea, they should try to rescue it and take away one-tenth to one-fifth, or even one-third of the caravan's goods afterwards.

All islands in the Inner Star Sea must adhere to this rule!
But in fact, if a cultivator is really angered, he will be seeking his own death!

No one will meddle in other people’s business!

However, basically the caravan owner will not provoke or offend the cultivators. Instead, he will try his best to make friends with the cultivators, just like this caravan owner.

This is of great benefit to them!
"Okay, sorry to bother you then! I also have something I want to ask you!"

After half a month of study, Zhao Shuang has mastered the language of the entire Chaos Star Sea.

After saying that, Zhao Shuang walked out of the room, and what he saw was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe.

At this moment, the man was looking at him respectfully, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, and he quickly saluted.

"Master Immortal, you are joking. This is my honor."

"Okay, no need to be polite, lead the way."

Zhao Shuang's face showed no expression. He waved his hand nonchalantly and then gave orders without any politeness.

"Yes, Master Immortal, please!"

Seeing this, the merchant ship owner did not show any sign of anger. Instead, he was full of joy and happily led the way.

Soon, Zhao Shuang followed the caravan owner to the dock and boarded a carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

It is called a horse-drawn carriage, but it is more appropriate to call it an animal carriage!

It's just a big wild beast, without any spiritual energy or demonic energy, so it can't be considered a demon beast!

In the carriage, after Zhao Shuang was ready and the animal cart started, the owner of the merchant ship respectfully spoke and made his promise.

"Master Immortal, if you have anything to ask me, I will never hide it from you, Master Immortal."

"My cultivation place is extremely remote, and I don't know much about the Starry Sea. Is there anything in the Starry Sea that I need to pay attention to?"

Zhao Shuang asked without hesitation.

"There are some things to be careful of. I wonder if Master Immortal has ever heard of Heavenly Wind, Ghost Mist, or Demonic Beasts?"

"You don't need to tell me what I've heard. Is there anything else?"

Zhao Shuang asked again.

"Master Immortal is a cultivator. If you encounter other Master Immortals, there are three forces that you must not offend in the slightest."

Hearing this, the merchant ship owner said again.

"Oh! Those three forces?"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows and became curious.

"Xinggong, Immortal Master, you should be aware that this Xinggong governs the entire Inner Star Sea. Although I haven't been involved in affairs for a long time, Immortal Master, if you encounter a cultivator from the Xinggong, you must not offend him, otherwise you will have no place to stay in the entire Inner Star Sea. The only way to survive is to seek refuge on the other two islands or hide your identity."

The merchant ship owner whispered cautiously, as if afraid of being heard by others. It was obvious that he was in extreme awe of Xinggong.

"The other two major forces, those two major forces, are actually not afraid of the Star Palace?"

Zhao Shuang showed a hint of curiosity on his face and asked,
Having said that, he had a vague guess in his mind!

"Master Immortal, have you heard of the Holy Demon Island, the first holy place of the Demonic Path, and the Wanfa Island, the first holy place of the Righteous Path?"

"It is said that the two holy islands are guarded by the legendary Yuanying True Immortal ancestors. Even the Star Palace is unwilling to offend them."

The merchant ship owner spoke with a look of awe, worship and even obsession on his face.

"I didn't expect you to know quite a bit about the Xinghai forces. Plus, you just mentioned the bitter mulberry tree spirit tea. I'm sure there must be some immortal cultivators among your ancestors!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang chuckled and guessed.

"I really can't hide it from Master Immortal. Yes, there are indeed immortal cultivators among my ancestors, and they are also Golden Core Patriarchs like Master Immortal!"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhao Shuang's face froze, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the extremely nervous merchant ship owner, and spoke with some surprise.

"You actually know that I'm a Jindan stage cultivator. I guess you must have some rare treasure on you, right?"

Although he did not hide his cultivation level, it was definitely not something that a mortal could see through.

"Master Immortal is right. My ancestors left me a rare treasure. As long as I encounter a Golden Core Immortal with the same power, it will show unusual movements."

As he spoke, the owner of the merchant ship took out a jade pendant shaped like a dragon horn from his sleeve.

A faint fluorescence could be seen on it, but there was no trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, which surprised Zhao Shuang. He realized that this was the unusual movement that the merchant ship owner had mentioned.

"Tell me, since you've risked revealing my realm, I guess you have something to ask for, right?"

After taking a few glances and finding nothing unusual, Zhao Shuang spoke thoughtfully under the extremely nervous gaze of the merchant ship owner.

Before he finished speaking, with a "thump", the owner of the merchant ship knelt down and kowtowed!

"Bang bang bang!"

After kowtowed three times, he raised his eyes and pleaded with a sad face.

"Master Immortal, your vision is as sharp as a torch. I admire you. If it weren't for the fact that my Du family hasn't had a cultivator with spiritual roots for two generations, I wouldn't have dared to reveal Master Immortal's realm. I know revenge is hopeless, and I'm willing to pay with my life for any offense. I hope Master Immortal won't implicate my family."

"Alright, get up. Let's not talk about revenge for now. First, tell me what this grudge is all about! I'm quite curious, am I interested?"

Zhao Shuang showed curiosity on his face, but he was not angry. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after arriving in Chaos Star Sea.

He was bored on the way, so he listened to it too!
"Thank you for your generosity, Immortal Master. Since you are interested, I will tell you."

The owner of the merchant ship did not stand up, but continued to kneel. He thought for a while, considered his words, and then spoke.

"It's nothing, really. It's just a case of vengeance and murder in the world of immortal cultivation over a cave treasure." "My Du family's ancestor had a good friend named Wu Chou, a descendant of the Jiyin Old Demon from Jiyin Island, now a Golden Core Patriarch. My ancestor and he discovered an ancient relic and many treasures, including a magic weapon. My ancestor was a Golden Core Patriarch back then, while the Jiyin Island's Wu Chou was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so naturally, this magic weapon should belong to my ancestor."

"As for the other treasures, our ancestor gave them to the Wu Chou Demon for the sake of the old demon Ji Yin who was behind him. However, we never expected that the Wu Chou Demon would not be satisfied and poisoned the spiritual tea that our ancestor drank, attempting to murder him. Fortunately, our ancestor was fortunate enough to obtain an antidote elixir, which barely suppressed the poison. However, his cultivation level was greatly reduced, and he could only barely escape and return to the Du Family Spiritual Island to heal his injuries in seclusion."

"Unexpectedly, the Wuchou demon had already made preparations and sent the demons from Jiyin Island to surround and kill the entire Du family. When our ancestor arrived, the entire Du family had already been wiped out by the demons from Jiyin Island."

"Therefore, our ancestors were forced to come to our lineage and explain the whole story to us. We hope that in time, an immortal master will emerge to avenge the entire Du family!"

The story is very melodramatic, but it is undeniable that it is something that Wu Chou from Jiyin Island would do.

However, Zhao Shuang was very curious about one thing.

"Your Du family must have something that could tempt that Jiyin Island Wu Chou!"

Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Master Immortal, you have a keen eye, and I admire you. Indeed, our Du family does have a treasure, but that treasure is not with me, nor is it in the current Du family. It is somewhere only our ancestors know about."

"The ancestor said that only a descendant of the Du family who could become a Golden Core Patriarch could open the immortal magic restrictions in the will he left behind. I know where the treasure is, but as for what the treasure is, I only saw a few words in the notes left by generations of the Du family. It seems to be related to a place called Xutian Palace. But what exactly is this Xutian Palace? After years of inquiries, I still have no information!"

"Xutian Palace, this is such a coincidence!"

After listening to the grievances of the merchant ship owner, Zhao Shuang said with surprise.

This was such a coincidence that it even surprised him.

After all, he knew exactly what the Xutian Palace was. It was the place with the greatest opportunities in the entire Chaos Star Sea.

Xutian Palace, Qianlan Ice Flame, Soul-Nourishing Wood, Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk, Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng... Any one of these treasures would cause most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Chaos Star Sea to fight for it.

He didn't expect that he would encounter something related to the Xutian Palace as soon as he arrived at the Chaos Star Sea.

It's as if someone arranged it!
It really surprised and astonished him!

Suddenly, an absurd idea appeared in Zhao Shuang's mind, and then he couldn't help but say it tentatively.

"Your current Du family should be the surname you changed. What was your last name before?"

"Master Immortal, your talent is astonishing. I truly admire you. My family, the Du family, changed their surname to Xu in order to be discovered by the Wuchou Demon Head of Jiyin Island. According to the family tree, the Xu family was once a family of disciples of the Chaos Star Sea, but gradually declined. Now only our lineage remains. Perhaps other families also have Xu bloodlines, but ours must be the main branch."

The merchant ship owner said this solemnly and confidently.

And his words made the ridiculous idea in Zhao Shuang's mind come true.

His surname is actually Xu, and he is from Xutian Palace. In this case, doesn’t that mean he is the descendant of Fairy Bingpo who stayed in Chaos Star Sea?

Of course, this is just Zhao Shuang's guess. No one knows whether it is true or not.

But no matter what, if it has anything to do with Xutian Palace, he might have to help.

Wu Chou of Jiyin Island is only a Jindan stage cultivator now, and poses no threat to him. As for Jiyin Island and the Jiyin old monster behind him, he doesn't care much about them.

The other party should still be in seclusion, cultivating his magical powers: in the Tiandu Corpse Fire, the affairs of the entire Jiyin Island were handed over to Wu Chou, the younger disciple, to handle.

Therefore, it is not difficult to deal with it! "That being said, I must verify it myself. Is what you said true or false?"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Zhao Shuang still had to confirm it personally.

"Master Immortal, how do you want to verify it?"

Hearing this, the owner of the merchant ship shuddered and said with fear on his face.

"Nothing, just look into my eyes?"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang smiled. Although his voice was plain, it seemed to contain magic, causing the caravan owner to uncontrollably look up and look at Zhao Shuang.

Then, Zhao Shuang's eyes were filled with black and white light, and then the owner of the merchant ship's eyes were blurred for a moment, and the next moment, he spoke respectfully.

"I am Du Kun, the humble servant, and I am here to meet the master."

The Great Harmony Technique comes with a soul-stealing technique that can force mortals or cultivators of low levels to recognize their master.

Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he can at most control the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can only temporarily recognize him as his master.

As for the Jindan stage of the same level, it is more troublesome!
It can affect one or two people at most, but for Zhao Shuang, it is enough.

After all, among Jindan stage cultivators, every second of time is enough to decide victory or defeat, life or death.

"Is what you just said true?"

After making sure that there was no problem, Zhao Shuang withdrew his gaze and asked.

"Master, every word I say is true. I would never dare to deceive you!"

The merchant ship owner replied respectfully.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang smiled with satisfaction, and then said.

"Then where is the jade slip left by your ancestors?"

"The villain carries it with him!"

The owner of the merchant ship took out a light blue jade slip from his arms. It was about three inches long and as wide as a finger. Flame patterns could be vaguely seen on it. It was actually made of thousand-year-old cold jade.

Although this thousand-year-old cold jade is not as good as the ten-thousand-year-old black jade, it is also an extremely good refining material and can be used to refine ice-attribute magic weapons of quite good quality!
What surprised Zhao Shuang the most was that this light blue jade slip did not emit a trace of coldness when it fell into his hand, nor was there any fluctuation of spiritual energy. It was obvious that a very strong restriction was placed under it, hiding it from him.

And his perception is not weaker than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, which means: this is definitely not something a Core Formation cultivator can do.

It can only be the jade slip passed down from the Du or Xu family!

This also further confirmed what the other party said. It seemed that Jiyin Island had in-depth knowledge of Xutian Palace.

Then, Zhao Shuang's spiritual sense, which was more powerful than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, rushed into the jade slip to check the content and information therein.

The owner of the merchant ship waited for Zhao Shuang's orders with a respectful look on his face, like a real servant.

This time the investigation lasted for more than an hour, until Zhao Shuang's face turned pale and ugly, and then he withdrew his spiritual sense.

The contents of the jade slip were extremely disorganized. They consisted mostly of the trivial notes of the successive patriarchs and elders of the Xu family, and there was not much important information.

However, it is certain that the Xu family is indeed the descendants of Fairy Bingpo!
