AWB Chapter 336 The Intent Lies in the Golden Crow
Chapter 336 The Intent Lies in the Golden Crow
In the end, the pills that Li Lan was selling were auctioned off for thirty catties.
It's nowhere near as valuable as the fragment of the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell, because frankly speaking, everyone knows that this item probably has nothing to do with Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao), and its name is just a gimmick.
If it weren't for the strong purchasing desire of the Golden Crow clan, and the interference of the Xihou clan due to their mutual grievances, they probably wouldn't have been able to sell so many.
The auction ended, and a waiter respectfully brought over twenty-one catties of forbidden soil.
"If our distinguished guest possesses any other relics from the Imperial Star in the future, our auction house is willing to purchase them at a high price!"
The waiter spoke with a smile, and Li Lan nodded calmly, accepted the forbidden soil, and then left.
He moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he was out of the city. He only stopped after confirming that no one was following him.
"Forbidden Land..."
He examined it carefully and found that the so-called "forbidden soil" was a grayish-white soil, and he could not sense anything special about it using his divine sense or other means.
"Forbidden Soil is an essential item in the Realm of Breath Soil."
Zhu Wusi said, "After the prohibition is triggered, the prohibition energy becomes wind, and one can ride the wind. The wind generates soil, which is the prohibition soil. However, this process will be very slow. If one can obtain the prohibition soil, one can directly enter the realm of the breath soil and have a foothold in the void."
Li Lan was curious, so he took out a pound of forbidden soil and used the panel to absorb it!
"Forbidden Points +10".
A moment of caution flashed by.
Li Lan was surprised.
Can forbidden soil provide forbidden points?
Can forbidden points be used to deduce and comprehend cultivation techniques? He checked and found that only a few of his cultivation techniques were marked as "usable".
"The Mortal Scripture" (available), "The Limitless Battle Method" (available), "Boundless Divine Power" (available)...
Basically, only the supreme methods passed down by ancestral gods, demon gods, etc., and ordinary scriptures can be used.
Ordinary techniques cannot be deduced.
Perhaps this means that the taboo points are specifically targeted at the "supreme" method?
He tried adding ten taboo points to the "Ordinary Scriptures".
In that instant, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration, which deepened his understanding of the mortal scriptures, but this understanding did not improve his realm!
"Forbidden points seem to be specifically used for enlightenment, and cannot directly improve one's cultivation level?"
Li Lan resisted the urge to invest all the forbidden land.
Twenty catties was still too little for him; it wasn't enough for him to obtain sufficient forbidden points to deduce the mortal scriptures.
However, this gave him a direction. Judging from his experience just now, it seems that the scriptures and other supreme teachings can be further expanded.
It should be noted that the Great Yu Method, the Great Famine Method, and so on are the culmination of the lives of many ancestral gods and demon gods. They are paths that can lead to the supreme. If they can be further strengthened and improved, wouldn't that mean that Li Lan can truly surpass them?
After a moment's thought, Li Lan left.
He picked up the Myriad Weapons Furnace and gently activated it. The Golden Crow Clan's sun within the furnace immediately stirred. Li Lan found the direction the Golden Crow Clan had left in and quickly followed.
……
Jincengyun swiftly headed towards the Central Region.
Soon after, he arrived at a huge city—the Burial City of Emperors.
This is also one of the most core and largest immortal cities in Beidou. Many holy lands and cloud forces in Beidou have established branches and halls here. Similarly, many forces from the Divine Realm also choose this place to settle down.
Returning to their dwelling place, a vast Taoist palace, Jin Cengyun swiftly arrived inside a grand hall.
"Elder, I brought back some things that might be useful to Uncle!"
Jin Chengyun spoke, took out a fragment of the Book of Life and Death, and a pill, and handed them to an old man.
The old man took the pills, examined them carefully, and then showed surprise, saying, "They are all extraordinary!"
"I'll take it to the Marquis right now. Even if it can't cure him completely, it might extend his life by a hundred years!"
Jin Chengyun's uncle, Jin Ruofeng, is a powerful figure within the Jinwu royal family, revered as the "Xiaoyao Marquis," and is also Jin Chengyun's greatest backer within the clan.
The elder had already left, while Jin Chengyun stood there, waiting anxiously.
There is also fierce struggle within the Golden Crow Clan. His father died early, and his uncle is only a spirit. The clan is very weak, so he had no choice but to come to the mortal world.
If his uncle were to pass away as well, he would truly have no choice but to accept his fate.
"It's all because the quasi-king-level Heart of the Sun was stolen a few years ago!"
He recalled what had happened a few years ago, and felt extremely resentful.
Their enmity with the Xihou clan was also related to that incident. After the Heart of the Sun was stolen, they were furious and conducted a thorough investigation, discovering that only a few experts from the Xihou clan had the time and space to make a move.
The two sides almost came to blows over this, which was very unpleasant.
He was pondering.
"what--"
But at that very moment, a piercing scream rang out.
Jin Chengyun was shocked and rushed in. Inside the secret chamber, he saw a phantom spirit in extreme pain, almost about to burst apart and perish.
He was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing, but at this moment his face was contorted with rage.
"No, this...this pill is poisonous!"
The elder's expression changed drastically!
Jin Chengyun was dumbfounded. In an instant, his anger reached its peak, and he shouted, "Tianyi Pavilion!!"
"I'm going to wipe them out!"
How could he not be furious that the things he bought from Tianyi Pavilion were poisonous?
"Stop!"
But at this moment, Marquis Xiaoyao said with difficulty, "Tianyi Pavilion... may not know about this!"
"Even I couldn't see anything wrong with this, no wonder they... Besides, behind Tianyi Pavilion is the Treasure Palace of the Divine Realm, it's not wise to make enemies with them!"
Despite the immense pain, the Carefree Marquis remained conscious.
"Uncle, it's all my fault!"
Jin Chengyun looked extremely remorseful!
"My soul was already weak, and now I've suffered this calamity... I can't control myself, I have to possess another body!"
Marquis Xiaoyao closed his eyes, saying with a helpless yet resolute expression, "Go, find a pure Yang body. I... can only possess another body to start my cultivation anew!"
Possession and reconstruction!
Upon hearing this, both the elder and Jin Chengyun's expressions changed drastically.
Within the clan, everyone is a powerful figure. If he were to possess another body and begin cultivation again, it would mean his cultivation level would be reset to zero...
But this is the best way; if we don't do it, we will only perish!
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find it for you!"
Jincengyun gritted his teeth and turned around.
……
Soon, the Golden Crow Clan issued a decree to recruit disciples, giving priority to those with special fire-type roots and masculine physiques!
The news immediately set off an explosion throughout the entire Burial Emperor City!
"What? The Golden Crow Clan is recruiting disciples? Is it true?"
"The Golden Crow Clan is the royal family of the Divine Realm. Such power is beyond the reach of even the geniuses of the Divine Realm, let alone us mortals!"
"This is an incredible opportunity! If I am chosen, it will be an immense blessing from heaven, and I will never have to worry again!"
The entire city was shaken, and news continued to spread, causing a sensation throughout the entire Beidou Immortal Realm.
"The Golden Crow Clan is recruiting disciples? This is highly unusual... Do they even consider people from the Big Dipper Clan?"
On this day, the high-ranking members of the Sima clan, an imperial-level family in the mortal realm, were discussing the matter, feeling that it was too abnormal.
"Could this be a trap?"
Some people are on guard.
For the royal family of the divine realm to recruit disciples in the mortal world is no different from Snow White choosing a husband from a pile of toads—it seems highly improbable.
"Not necessarily. The Golden Crow Clan wants to recruit people with special fire-type physiques or masculine bodies. Perhaps such people would be useful to them?"
Some people have made guesses.
"In any case, this is a tremendous opportunity that we cannot let slip by!"
Finally, the clan leader made the decision, saying, "All fire-type talent geniuses in the clan, assemble immediately and head to the Burial Emperor City to participate in the selection. Even if only one person is selected, it will be a great blessing for our clan!"
Immediately, everyone in the clan was mobilized.
……
Cihang Holy Land.
"Has nothing changed since the Saintess returned so many years ago?"
An elderly nun in purple robes asked a question.
Another old nun in white sighed and said, "Wu Yu's clone went to the Ziwei Star Region and fell into demonic possession. Over the years, we have tried all sorts of methods, but the demonic heart is still not dead!"
"Why don't we have the Buddhist monk take her to the Burial Emperor City?"
The old nun in purple spoke up, saying, "We must use the method of the Great Sun Tathagata to illuminate her and extinguish her demonic heart and thoughts. The method of the Golden Crow Clan can help us perform this technique."
"But it will come at a great cost."
The old nun in white pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "So be it."
……
Soon after, news of the movements of geniuses from various factions began to emerge!
"The elite of the Sima clan have already begun their journey to the Burial Emperor City."
"The people from the Fire God Palace have also set off. This lineage is famous for cultivating fire magic, and has countless fire-type geniuses under their tutelage. It seems that this time, they are going to get on the good side of the Golden Crow Royal Family!"
"A Great Luo Golden Immortal has emerged from Mount Da Ri. He possesses the Xuan Yang Body and has been famous for many years. He was originally on his way to the Great Emperor realm, but unexpectedly, he has had to interrupt his journey to participate in the selection first?"
The selection process has caused a major upheaval, with the entire world watching closely.
And this moment.
Outside the Burial Emperor City, a handsome young man dressed in ordinary clothes had already arrived.
He looked at the city ahead and smiled slightly.
This person was none other than Li Lan.
He has changed his appearance and demeanor and is about to participate in this recruitment.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the mastermind behind the Golden Crow Clan's recruitment event that shook the world and drew countless geniuses was him.
I made this batch of dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.
Are you sure that the Golden Crow needs a pure Yang body?
Li Lan asked a question.
"Don't worry, the pure yang body among humans is the best vessel for the Golden Crow clan... Hehe, in fact, their clan has a great technique that requires the soul of a Golden Crow to be used in a human body to succeed."
Zhu Wusi was very certain: "The person who could make that kid buy the fragments of the Book of Life and Death to save him must be of extraordinary status. And someone of extraordinary status must know this method..."
"If this plan succeeds, the sun in the furnace of ten thousand weapons might finally have a purpose."
"What's so special about this sun?" Li Lan had already noticed that the sun in the Myriad Weapons Furnace was different from any other sun he had seen in the universe, but he still asked the question.
"If I'm not mistaken, this item might be the origin of some god-king... If you can obtain the cultivation method of the Golden Crow clan, you'll have a chance to refine it!"
Zhu Wusi spoke.
Li Lan instantly stiffened!
If one could refine the essence of the God-King, that would truly be an incredible opportunity.
He took a deep breath and immediately headed into the Burial Emperor City!
