God of Pets

Chapter 185 Take Him With You

"The legend that there are immortals in the secret realm of the sky has always been just a legend and has never been confirmed. Do you believe in it, old man?" Xiu Yingmei was a little surprised.

In this era, all the theories about gods and ghosts have long been broken. Now it is believed that even if gods and monsters really exist, they are just mysterious spirits and there is no need to be overly afraid of them.

The immortals in the secret realm of the sky in the legend do not refer to creatures other than humans such as secret spirits, but to advanced humans who have evolved through human practice.

There is a very popular saying now that there are immortals, that is, advanced humans, in the secret realm of the sky. They make the secret realm of the sky appear in order to select humans who have evolved to a high enough level to enter the secret realm of the sky, just like selecting outstanding children from an orphanage for adoption.

This is just some human conjecture and there is no real evidence. A family like the Xiu family naturally would not believe in such a beautiful dream.

If there really were more advanced humans in the secret realm of the sky, they would only exploit the humans below them like slaves and would not let them enjoy themselves.

As a family in a high position, they know very well that only when there are enough people at the bottom can the privileges of the top be maintained.

However, among all the secret realms, there are indeed many traces of human beings that cannot be explained at present.

For example, there are complex and ancient buildings in many secret realms. For secret spirits that have evolved in the physical body, they rarely care about such external things. Even secret spirits with high intelligence rarely build complex buildings. This kind of behavior is something that only creatures like humans who evolve slowly can do.

There are also many mysterious objects that look like the work of humans, such as the alchemy furnace that Xiu Jieming just mentioned.

Humans are better at making complex objects like alchemy furnaces. Secret spirits don't need to refine elixirs. They can use their own talents to directly devour the raw materials.

"This is just a guess. Perhaps Zhang Tianwang's current achievements were aided by the elixir found in the mountains," Xiu Jieming said. "Those cultivators we found previously, although they managed to emerge alive after entering Cuiyun Mountain's gate, soon began coughing up blood. No matter what they did, they died within a few days. After much research, we've finally discovered the secret of their deaths."

"Why?" Xiu Yingmei asked.

"There's a talisman sealed over the veins of Cuiyun Mountain. It's supposed to be used to suppress spirits and gather evil spirits. All the vital energy in Cuiyun Mountain's veins has been condensed by the talisman, transforming into Yuansha that envelopes Cuiyun Mountain. The closer you get to the alchemy furnace, the thicker the Yuansha becomes. Those people who came out before died because they were silently infected by the Yuansha."

Xiu Jieming looked towards Cuiyun Mountain and continued, "A few days ago, for some unknown reason, the talisman that suppressed the spirits and gathered evil spirits on Cuiyun Mountain was broken. Now the evil spirits on Cuiyun Mountain are slowly dissipating. Once they are completely gone, we can go up the mountain and see if there really is an elixir in the furnace. If there is, we must not let it fall into the hands of outsiders at all costs."

"Could that talisman be from Zhang Tianwang's hand? If it was from his handiwork, he would naturally know once the talisman is broken." Xiu Yingmei pondered.

"So what if he knows? Beimang Mountain has long been the territory of our Heavenly Court Army. Even if the King of Heaven wants to intervene here, it won't be that easy. What's more, this is a blessed land. Practitioners above level 30 cannot enter. For those below level 30, it doesn't matter if he sends people here." Xiu Jieming said lightly.

"Brother is right. Within the Three Awakenings, even the descendants of the Ten Heavenly Kings can hardly be on par with you, not to mention that this is the territory of our Heavenly Court Army." Xiu Yingmei said with a smile.

"Is Chen Guan in Beimang Mountain now?" Xiu Jieming suddenly changed the subject.

"That's what the intelligence says. At the moment, we only know that he went to the Wild Ghost Cave with Jiang Qiemo, and we haven't found his whereabouts since he came out." For some reason, Xiu Yingmei did not tell Xiu Jieming about her deal with Chen Guan.

"Brother, if you want to deal with him, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just leave it to me," Xiu Yingmei said quickly.

Xiu Jieming smiled and said, "He's not worthy enough for me to take action against him. But only if we take him with us will Ji Nanhong go to Cuiyun Mountain with us."

Xiu Yingmei didn't quite understand: "Why do we want Ji Nanhong to go with us? If she goes, if we really find the elixir, won't we have to give her a share?"

Now the Heavenly Court Army still has the surname Ji. If Ji Nanhong knows about the elixir, it means that General Ji knows about it, and the Xiu family naturally can no longer keep it to themselves.

"It's best to give it to her. Our Xiu and Ji families are one. We prosper together and suffer together. We know this truth. Commander Ji knows it, and the judge knows it too. Everyone hopes that our two families can be as close as one. It's just that Nanhong is too young and still has a childish temper. She doesn't understand this principle."

"Now that she's an adult, it's time for her to gain more experience so she can understand more."

Xiu Yingmei pondered for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, you want to let Commander Ji see our sincerity and ability, right? But the price is too high. If there really is an elixir, will you really give it to Ji Nanhong?"

"It doesn't matter if you give it all to her, as long as Commander Ji can make up his mind to make the Ji and Xiu families become one." Xiu Jieming said.

"Brother, I'm sorry for putting you through this." Xiu Yingmei sighed. She understood what Xiu Jieming meant.

The person Xiu Jieming is going to marry is the daughter of the Ji family, so it doesn’t matter whether that person is Ji Nanhong or not.

The reason I brought Ji Nanhong with me this time was actually just to let Ji Nanhong know that compared with the Xiu family, Chen Guan, who came from an ordinary family, could not give Ji Nanhong any help at all.

If Tian Xujun wants to face the unpredictable situation in Shenzhou in the future, she must have truly strong support.

The most important thing is to let Ji Nanhong see the true ability of the Xiu family or Xiu Jieming, and to let Commander Ji see their strength and sincerity.

As long as Commander Ji is willing to marry Ji Nanhong to Xiu Jieming and make the two families become one, the Xiu family can pay any price, even an elixir can be given to Ji Nanhong.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Commander Ji is willing to marry Ji Nanhong into the Xiu family, otherwise the elixir will not fall into Ji Nanhong's hands.

As for Chen Guan, a practitioner of one awakening, Xiu Jieming never took him seriously.

Xiu Yingmei agreed, turned around and went out to contact the reserve team, asking them to send Chen Guan over to cooperate with the operation. In this way, Ji Nanhong would know about this and should be able to rush over.

"That's good too. If big brother can use the elixir as a betrothal gift to marry Ji Nanhong, then I can recruit Chen Guan to my team openly." Xiu Yingmei felt more and more unwilling the more she thought about it. Why should Ji Nanhong enjoy Chen Guan? Anyway, she felt very uncomfortable.
