Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 351 The Art of Exchanging Treasures?

Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, the willow tree's drooping branches swayed gently, as if sensing their arrival. A warm yet powerful force spread out, enveloping everyone within it.

This power was gentle and inclusive, bringing a sense of peace to everyone, as if all distracting thoughts had been swept away.

"I already know the purpose of your trip."

Then, a clear and distant voice resounded in everyone's hearts, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, carrying an indescribable majesty.

"Can!"

The moment Liu Shen's voice fell, the entire Spirit Sacrifice Realm changed drastically. Chaotic energy surged like a boiling river, and thousands of willow leaves simultaneously burst forth with brilliant light, intertwining to form golden Dao patterns that flowed in the void, as if writing an ancient contract.

Upon seeing this, everyone was startled and bowed respectfully. Then, under Shi An's guidance, they began preparing the items needed for the sworn brotherhood ceremony.

Before long, a long table was placed in front of them, with an incense candle on it and nine cups of spirit wine emitting a strange fragrance in front of it.

The spirit wine rippled gently in the glass, creating dreamlike waves, each drop shimmering with an unusual radiance, as if containing the power of the stars.

This is a spirit wine from the Immortal Realm that Shi An specially retrieved from the Purple Spirit Realm—Nine Heavens Immortal Wine!
According to the recollections of the Purple Spirit Immortal, a single drop of this wine could extend the lifespan of mortals by a hundred years, and some exceptionally talented individuals could even use it to cleanse their mortal bodies and solidify their Dao heart.

"This wine..."

The Emperor's gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at the nine cups of Nine Heavens Immortal Wine, a look of shock flashing in his eyes: "Such a divine object would surely be regarded as a family treasure even by some ancient noble families. It is truly astonishing that Brother Shi An could take it out so easily."

Not only the emperor, but everyone else was also shocked that Shi An could produce such a divine wine.

Just by taking a whiff of the fragrant spirit wine, a rare ripple appeared in the eyes of the banished immortal.

Since his birth, he has tasted the essence of the heavens and the earth, but he has never drunk such a fine wine containing "celestial charm". Before the wine even entered his mouth, the aroma alone resonated with his magic power, and it seemed as if there was celestial energy flowing deep within his bones.

However, Shi An merely smiled at the crowd's shock, his expression showing a touch of nonchalance: "This wine is precious, but compared to the sworn brotherhood we have formed today, it is nothing."

"Today, let us use this Nine Heavens Immortal Wine as a bond to forge a sworn brotherhood!"

Having said that, he took the lead in raising a cup of wine, his gaze sweeping over everyone, finally landing on the drooping branches of the Willow God, and solemnly said: "Willow God, today we are here to swear brotherhood, and we hope that you can be our witness."

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, the branches of the Willow God swayed gently, as if responding to Shi An's request. At the same time, an even more gentle power spread out, enveloping the entire sworn brotherhood ceremony in a layer of sacred radiance.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, the Emperor also raised a cup of wine, his gaze firm and fervent: "Today, I, the Emperor, wish to swear brotherhood with the Immortal, Chang Gongyan, Shi An, Shi Yi, Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Yutu, Shi Hao, and Qin Hao, to share life and death, and never abandon each other!"

As the emperor finished speaking, the others raised their wine cups and echoed in unison: "Let us swear brotherhood, share life and death, and never abandon each other!"

The voices of the crowd echoed within the sacrificial realm, as if resonating with heaven and earth, causing the winds to shift and the stars to twinkle.

Even the towering willow tree seemed to tremble slightly because of this strong affection, and the willow leaves on its branches became even more dazzling.

"cheers!"

Finally, the emperor shouted and was the first to drink the Nine Heavens Immortal Wine in his cup in one gulp.

The wine entered their throats, transforming into a warm current that instantly spread throughout their bodies, as if even their souls had been cleansed, becoming purer and stronger. Following suit, the Immortal, Chang Gongyan, Shi An, Shi Yi, Cao Yusheng, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Shi Hao, and Qin Hao all raised their spirit wines and drank them down in one gulp.

In an instant, powerful auras erupted from them, intertwining to form an indescribable might that seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth.

The entire sacrificial realm suddenly shone brightly, and thousands of willow leaves trembled simultaneously, emitting a clear and melodious sound, as if cheering for their sworn brotherhood.

At the same time, golden Dao patterns flew out from the willow leaves, weaving together in the void to form an ancient contract that tightly connected everyone.

Then, the voice of the Willow Goddess resounded once more, majestic yet carrying blessings for everyone.

"Your friendship is as clear as day. May you join hands and create brilliance together on the road ahead."

As Liu Shen's voice faded, the chaotic aura within the Sacrifice Realm gradually subsided, and the myriad willow leaves returned to calm.

But everyone knew that from this moment on, their fates were intertwined, and they had become inseparable brothers.

"From this day forward, we are true brothers!"

Soon, everyone stood up, hugged and high-fived each other, their faces beaming with joy and excitement.

The nine men swore brotherhood, so naturally there was a sequence in terms of seniority and age.

They are: Boss: Ten-time champion - Emperor!
Second Brother: The Uncrowned King – The Immortal!
Third son: Four-time champion – Chang Gongyan!

Fourth brother: Shi An!
Fifth: The one with double pupils—Shi Yi!
Sixth Brother: Cao Yusheng!

Seventh Brother: Taiyin Jade Rabbit!
Eighth Brother: Huang—Shi Hao!
The Ninth Prince: Qin Hao, the Supreme of Dual Bones!
"Brother, would you be interested in exchanging magical techniques with me?"

After the sworn brotherhood ceremony concluded successfully, Shi An, to everyone's surprise, said the following to the Emperor.

"A magic exchange technique?!"

Upon hearing Shi An's words, everyone paused for a moment, and then turned their gazes toward him.

"Fourth brother, do you intend to exchange your True Phoenix Treasure Technique for my True Dragon Treasure Technique?"

The emperor's gaze narrowed slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the dragon-patterned jade pendant at his waist. To be honest, Shi An's question was indeed somewhat unexpected.

The True Dragon Treasure Technique is not only one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, but also the foundation upon which he was invincible for ten lifetimes in the Immortal Era. Normally, he would not have paid any attention to such a request, after all, what treasure technique in this world could compare to the True Dragon Treasure Technique?
However, the problem now is that Shi An actually has something comparable, and as far as he knows, if one can learn both the True Dragon and True Phoenix techniques at the same time and integrate them, the benefits will not be as simple as one plus one, but a qualitative leap.

The emperor's mind raced, his gaze fixed on Shi An, as if trying to discern something from his face.

A moment later, he suddenly burst into loud laughter, a hearty and cheerful laugh that echoed throughout the sacrificial realm.

"Since Fourth Brother has made this suggestion, I, as your elder brother, will certainly agree! The True Dragon Treasure Technique and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique are both among the Ten Fierce Techniques. If they can be mutually verified, they might be able to help us take another step forward on our path of cultivation."

As the emperor spoke, his eyes gleamed with fervent light, as if he could already see the dazzling brilliance that would unfold after the fusion of the magical techniques.
