I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 51: Fishing for the Moon in the Water
Ying Chan was taken aback and turned his head to look. Only then did he realize that a Taoist in feathered robes had appeared in the main seat of the room.

"Ok?"

Feng Xufeng's eyebrows twitched, and he straightened up.

At the same time, Xu Junyang reacted in the same way, and the two of them stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Real person!

Ying Chan was slightly shocked, and immediately knew the identity of this Taoist in feather robes.

In the cultivation world, only those who achieve the Golden Elixir Dao can be called True Persons!

If a Golden Core cultivator were to appear at this Dharma assembly, which is mainly composed of Xuan Guang cultivators, he would certainly be the host.

However, he never expected that the master of the cloud boat who held the Dharma assembly would actually be a true person who had achieved the Golden Core Dao.

However, despite feeling surprised, he naturally followed Li Zhuo and the others, standing up with Feng Xufeng.

Not only them, but everyone present also possessed cultivation and reacted swiftly. Upon seeing this, they all stood up and bowed, exclaiming in unison, "Greetings, Master!"

The master of the cloud boat nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Greetings, everyone. Please take a seat."

Only then did everyone take their seats.

However, Master Ma did not rush to sit down. Instead, he bowed to the master of the cloud boat and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Master."

The master of the cloud boat smiled slightly, and said to the sword maiden, "Your dance skills are truly amazing and have amazed all of us guests."

"If there has been any oversight today, please forgive me."

The dignified master of the Cloud Boat, who is also a Golden Core cultivator, is so kind and amiable.

Sword Maiden felt flattered and quickly curtsied, saying, "Thank you for your praise, Master. I am not displeased at all."

Afterwards, the owner of the cloud boat reassured him and then instructed the steward to lead him to rest.

At this point, the Cloud Boat Master said to Taoist Ma, "Young friend, please sit down as well."

Master Ma breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the master again, and then sat down again.

After accepting the courtesy, the master of the cloud boat spoke again: "Today, I invited you all to this gathering with the intention of forging good relationships."

"Therefore, I originally intended to reappear and chat with you all after you have had your fill of enjoyment, but alas..."

When Master Yunfang said this, Master Ma's expression changed slightly.

"Unexpectedly, an old friend came and asked me to go to the South China Sea for a banquet."

The Cloud Boat Master changed the subject, even jokingly saying, "I have no choice but to make time for him to show up earlier and spoil everyone's fun."

Those present responded in unison, "The Master is joking..."

"You are truly an insult to us..."

Master Yunfang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Today's gathering should not be dull. I have prepared a few small gifts as a token of my appreciation. Let's see which junior member is fortunate enough to receive one."

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up.

Upon seeing this, the master of the cloud boat pointed a finger into the air.

All the people saw was a point of light that bloomed, and a jade pendant-shaped magical artifact floated into the air.

Master Yunfang said, "The first small gift, the Yin-Yang Harmony Light Pendant, can be considered a high-grade magic artifact."

The crowd erupted in commotion: "A top-grade magic weapon!"

Don't assume that high-grade magic weapons are common just because Xu Junyang easily obtained a high-grade flying sword in the Jade Pool.

In reality, most Xuan Guang cultivators rarely possess a high-grade magic weapon, let alone the crowd present, who, apart from Xu Junyang, Feng Xufeng, and a few others, were not from any major sects. "Please hear me out," said the Cloud Boat Master. "This pendant has no combat abilities, but it has one unique property: it can absorb Yin and Yang energies, using them to refine and condense magical power..."

Upon hearing this, most people in the room became even more excited.

This is because treasures for cultivation may not have the same tangible power as treasures for offense or defense, but their value is often higher.

The most remarkable thing about this Yin-Yang Harmony Pendant is that it can also refine and condense magical power...

This is a crucial lesson that cultivators at the Profound Light Realm cannot escape.

Seeing that everyone present was in high spirits, Master Yunfang smiled slightly.

After he finished introducing the Yin-Yang Harmony Pendant, he suddenly threw it into the water feature.

Such a precious and superior magical artifact fell into the water and slowly sank to the bottom.

At this moment, Master Yunfang said, "Coincidentally, what I just saw gave me a bit of inspiration. This first small gift will be a test for you young friends to 'catch the moon in the water'."

"Anyone present who is interested may use their magic to retrieve the Yin-Yang Harmony Light Pendant from the water."

"Of course, it would be rather boring to simply compare the strength of magic power. Therefore, I will impose another restriction on you young friends: each of you may only use one spell, and the power must not be so great as to cause a splash."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar once again.

"Hiss..." Li Zhuo said in a low voice to Ying Chan and the others, "This is the ultimate test of the subtlety of controlling magical power."

Li Jingqiu's almond-shaped eyes shone as she nodded repeatedly, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.

Ying Chan and Li Xuanying also watched intently.

At this moment, many people in the arena had already begun to try. In fact, although this "scooping the moon in the water" required considerable control of magical power, it was not enough to stump a Xuan Guang cultivator.

But how many Xuan Guang cultivators were present? Who wouldn't want to win this top-grade magic artifact?
With everyone casting their spells, the water in the scene immediately became chaotic.

Looking inside, Ying Chan saw vortexes appearing out of thin air, pushing and pulling the Yin-Yang Harmony Pendant back and forth, but no one could succeed in doing so.

“Hmm…” Li Zhuo pondered, “We are all Xuan Guang cultivators, and our cultivation levels may vary, as may our control over our magic power. But to truly distinguish a clear superior from a inferior in such a subtle way is indeed too difficult.”

Li Jingqiu said, "Then wouldn't it mean that no one would be able to retrieve the Yin-Yang Harmony Light Pendant?"

Li Zhuo glanced at Feng Xufeng and asked, "Xufeng, if you were to make a move, could you possibly succeed?"

Feng Xufeng held a wine cup in his hand, taking sips as he went, a half-smile on his face: "What's so difficult about that? It's just that this magical artifact, though good, is ultimately useless to me... How about I take it from you and give it to you?"

Li Zhuo was momentarily tempted, but ultimately shook his head: "Forget it, this is a real person's test. I don't have that ability, and it would be inappropriate for me to take it by force."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xufeng simply gave a soft "hmm".

He gazed at the waterscape, where the various magical powers had completely stagnated, creating a chaotic current in the water.

"Among those here... besides myself, the only ones capable of taking the Yin-Yang Harmony Pendant should be the disciples of the Hengfa Sect."

Feng Xufeng thought to himself, "It's said to be a gift given because of fate, but it was actually preordained long ago."

He shook his head, already imagining what would happen later, and listlessly poured himself a drink.

However, Ying Chan suddenly spoke up and asked, "Senior Brother Feng, may I try to obtain this magic artifact?"

"Ok?"

Feng Xufeng raised his eyes: "Well, since the True Man has said that anyone interested can make a move, you can naturally try to win it over, but..."

Feng Xufeng paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Why not? Since you have this intention, Junior Brother, then go ahead and give it a try."
