In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

"Here's something really good for me. How about I treat it as my appearance fee?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gave him a playful glare.

"Then I'll have to see what it is first. If it's an elixir of immortality or an ancient imperial weapon, I can't make the decision."

"Ha, you're not being modest at all. You think you can find the elixir of immortality and ancient imperial weapons from a mere shallow mine? You might as well say you dug up the corpse of an emperor."

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Taichu directly cut the source underground.

Amidst the swirling sword energy, a fist-sized golden stone egg was revealed, which Zhang Taichu snatched out.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi leaned over and examined it closely for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

"Could this be another ancient creature? It's so small, could it be an insect from ancient times?"

"Where are there so many ancient creatures? According to the records of the Yuan Tian Master's lineage, the cultivation environment in the ancient times was indeed much better than it is now. Not only was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth abundant, but there was also naturally formed divine source liquid. This is the origin of the treasures in the divine source."

"But most of the divine source liquid is collected by the ancient race, so what can be collected into the divine source is usually a treasure, not something that can be sealed in an insect. And this thing..."

Zhang Taichu shook the stone egg in his hand, a look of excitement on his face.

"This is a Stone Gall, a Stone Gall specifically used for cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique. And it's already mature. Not only will it allow me to cultivate the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, but it will also push the Divine Eye to its peak in one fell swoop!"

"Is this what they call pebble stones?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had also heard of this thing, and now that she saw it, she was very interested.

Zhang Taichu did not use it immediately, but instead stored it in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, preparing to cultivate the Source Heaven Divine Sense to its limit before using it. In this way, he could fully absorb the medicinal effects of the Stone Gall and push the Source Heaven Divine Eye to its highest level.

Afterwards, Zhang Taichu found two more pieces of divine source, but unfortunately, they contained no sealed items, only pure divine source.

Even so, it was still a rare treasure. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi happily put it away, not knowing whether she would hand it over in full.

The two emerged from underground and rested in a scenic spot near the mining area.

"By the way, Holy Maiden, what is your secular name? Now that we've known each other for so long, would you mind telling me?"

Zhang Taichu asked a question that all readers of "Covering the Sky" wanted to know.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi shook her head.

"I am an orphan. My master found me in the wilderness. I didn't know who my birth parents were or what my name was. My master only gave me a nickname."

"As I began my cultivation and my talent gradually became apparent, my master officially recognized me as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in this generation. So now I am called Yaochi, and in the future I will be called the Western Queen Mother."

"Hmph... Your answer is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, isn't it? It sounds a bit like the current Holy Son of Yao Guang?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled.

"That's true of the Holy Son of Yaoguang. He will surely become the new Holy Lord of Yaoguang in the future, so even if he has a secular name, he has long since abandoned it."

As the two were talking, a sword suddenly stabbed from behind Zhang Taichu's head, touching his scalp in the blink of an eye.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was shocked, but it was too late to save him. She could only watch helplessly as the sharp sword pierced into Zhang Taichu's brain.

Just as the sword tip touched the skull, a pale red bell emerged from the body, blocking the blade and preventing it from penetrating further and damaging the brain.

Even so, the destructive sword energy still caused Zhang Taichu a splitting headache, and he screamed in agony, clutching his head.

"Buzz"

The Soul-Shaking Bell roared like an enraged tiger, blasting the assassin out of the void.

He was a man with extremely ordinary features, the kind of person you would easily lose in a crowd.

However, the murderous aura emanating from him was enough to terrify anyone.

"Prepare to die!"

Enraged, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi unleashed the Western Emperor's Secret Technique, unleashing a holy beam of light that possessed the power to dispel everything in the world and an aura of absolute dominance.

In areas covered by holy light, the strong exclusivity is enough to render all arcane spells ineffective, producing an effect similar to "silence"!

The assassin hadn't expected the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's attack to be so powerful; his sword-wielding hand instantly turned to ashes, disintegrated at the atomic level.

Moreover, this disintegrating force traveled upwards along his arm, threatening to disintegrate his entire body.

The assassin groaned and struck his chest with his intact left hand, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his heart.

The rejected magic returned, and the assassin tore through the void and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already a thousand meters away.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi wanted to give chase, but seeing Zhang Taichu still clutching his head and screaming in agony, she worried it was a ploy to lure him away. So she could only watch helplessly as he vanished into thin air, so angry that her teeth were practically bleeding.

"Tai Chu, are you alright?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi approached Zhang Taichu to check his injuries, and her heart sank upon seeing them.

Zhang Taichu's entire skull at the back of his head was shattered, exposing his brain tissue, and even cerebrospinal fluid was leaking out.

Such severe injuries would require even a Saint Lord-level expert to take top-grade elixirs to recover. Zhang Taichu is currently only at the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, so I'm afraid...

"Take me somewhere deserted, quickly..."

At this moment, the Soul-Shocking Bell grew larger, enveloping Zhang Taichu within it. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi glanced at the bell and was somewhat shocked to find that it was actually a semi-sacred artifact.

But there was no time to think about it now, so he quickly led the way, taking Zhang Taichu to a secluded spot in the Yaochi mining area.

Then he ordered everyone to leave and guard the surroundings, forbidding anyone from disturbing the peace.

After she finished giving her instructions, she turned around and found that Zhang Taichu had spontaneously combusted. This shocked her. She was about to go up and put out the fire when Zhenhunzhong stopped her.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi knew that the semi-sacred artifact already had a weapon spirit, and that a weapon spirit that had revived on its own would never harm its master. So she calmed down and stood guard by without disturbing it.

Under the watchful gaze of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Zhang Taichu was engulfed in flames, and then his entire body seemed to melt, eventually transforming into a large fleshy ball with a diameter of one meter.

A series of heartbeats emanated from within the fleshy mass, letting the Holy Maiden of Yaochi know that Zhang Taichu was still alive and had not died.

"Is this a healing method? It looks so strange. But since it can be used by someone at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, the level of this healing method shouldn't be high... No, Zhang Taichu's injury is fatal for someone at his level. If this healing method can save him, then..."

Under the anxious gaze of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, a full day and night passed before the fleshy ball finally split open, and Zhang Taichu, naked, crawled out from inside.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi disregarded the difference between men and women, flew over to help him up, and fed him the spiritual medicine she had prepared beforehand.

After swallowing the elixir, Zhang Taichu secretly used his Devouring Technique to quickly absorb its medicinal power. Soon, his pale face, which had been weakened by excessive consumption, regained its rosy hue.

"Phew... I've escaped death again. This time it was even more dangerous than when I fought Ouyang Ye. Holy Maiden, I owe you another favor. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."

"Tai Chu, you don't need to worry. I came here to protect you. This time, it was my failure to protect you properly, and it was my dereliction of duty."

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. How's that assassin doing?"
