Chapter 928 – Great Jin Imperial Clan
The Earth Fire Hall, as the most important building of the Weapon Refining Hall, although the area wasn’t very large, only more than a hundred feet wide, it was divided into the upper, middle, and lower levels.
The upper level is where the materials are piled up, the middle level is where the earth fire is connected to refine the materials and make low-ranked spiritual weapons, while the lower level is twenty to thirty feet deep underground and is specifically used to refine high-ranked spiritual weapons with the help of the strand of earth fire essence in the earth fire pool.
Han Li’s usual secret room for refining materials was in a secret room on the middle floor. With this Green Show Sheriff in tow, Han Li walked into the chamber without panic. The secret room appeared somewhat cluttered, and he tidied himself up.
”This is where Senior Brother refines his items?” The young girl curiously surveyed everything in the not-so-large chamber, especially interested in the large tripod in the center of the chamber, and the eight gourd-like artifacts distributed on the ground around it, as if she was seeing this kind of refining artifact place for the first time.
”What? The county princess hasn’t even refined a magic weapon before?” Han Li raised his eyebrows and said blandly.
”I’ve been cultivating gongfu with Aunt Yu since I was a child, so how could I have the time to learn the way of refining artifacts. Usually, I just cultivate in the mansion.” The palace maiden reached out and patted the ear of the tripod for a bit, saying with a smile.
”Cultivating in the mansion, could it be that the king’s mansion was constructed on the ground of a spiritual vein?” Han Lighen asked casually as he sorted through the remains of the materials in the tripod.
”Huh! Elder brother turns out to not know my true identity? Wouldn’t really consider me as the county princess of whichever king of the Great Jin?” The young girl was stunned and suddenly smiled with pursed red lips.
”I’ve always been a lone voice, and am not quite sure of the county princess’s true identity.” Han Li’s heart fluttered and he said with a snort.
”Lonely and uninformed? Hee hee, that’s great, so I don’t need to put on any more county princess airs. In fact, that Great Jin Emperor I simply have not seen a side, but also just and the royal family has so a little bit of origin, previously have been with the master in the mountain cave cultivation, can never go to what the king’s residence.” The young girl’s eyes in the playful color flash, the whole person temperament suddenly changed, from a graceful young lady, actually turned into a quirky elf young girl.
”Not the royal family?” Han Li’s face was somewhat stunned, not knowing if he was surprised by the sudden change in the young girl, or by the content of what he said.
”What? Taken aback? Actually, this County Lord title is not a lie, but it was personally sealed by the current Emperor. If it wasn’t for the fact that before I came out, Auntie Yu had to ask me not to lose face with the royal family, I wouldn’t have bothered to dress up like this with my hands tied. As a result, the road was again pestered by these guys, and even more had to talk slowly the whole day, it is really boring. Now that there is only Senior Han here, I can finally relax at my own pace. Senior brother won’t be so insensitive as to go out and talk nonsense, right?” The young girl sat on her butt on the only chair in the secret room, tilted her head and said with a smile.
”Cough …… everything is as the county princess wishes, I’ll just pretend I didn’t see anything. However, your ancestor should not be an ordinary person, right?” Han Li dryly coughed a few times, considered completely speechless.
”The four major loose cultivators of the Great Jin, have you ever heard of them? My grandfather was one of them.” The young girl did not hide her intentions in the slightest, shaking her head and saying, seemingly quite proud.
”The four major loose cultivators! How could I not have heard of them, even if I am no longer ignorant. So it turns out that county princess is after a high ranking person, I am truly disrespectful. This identity is not at all worse than your County Lord identity, so I’m sure that you will have a great future in the future.” When Han Li heard this, his face changed slightly, his heart really surprised.
He had heard from Cao Mengrong’s mouth about the four major loose cultivators, among which there were both late YuanYing and mid YuanYing, but all of them had excellent magical abilities, and were really far from being comparable to the average YuanYing cultivator.
”Uh-huh! Is that so. Almost everyone who knows my grandfather’s name treats me like this, so I guess it shouldn’t be false!” The young girl accepted Han Li’s compliments nonchalantly.
Han Li rubbed his nose and felt a bit of a headache coming on. Immediately, he no longer paid attention to the young girl, and with a pinch of both hands, several spells were struck out, striking the cauldron. At that moment, this tripod burst of buzzing, and immediately slowly floated up in a dazzling red light.
The young girl did not hide her curiosity, staring at Han Li’s move without blinking as she stared at a pair of dark gem-like eyes.
”Bring out the materials!” Han Li waited for the Dao Giant Cauldron to be thoroughly activated before turning his face to the young girl and speaking.
”Give you! First give you good, in the outside said words can not count ah, that is only in front of other people, said polite words only. Elder brother if really refining bad my good hard to find blood silk silver, you can be sure to compensate me.” The young girl blinked her beautiful eyes, and actually laughed so softly. Then a flip of the jade hand, will be from the waist storage bag, pulled out a fist-sized thing, directly threw over.
Silver, as if ordinary silver ore, but which is interspersed with countless bloodstained filaments. Looking at the ore in his hands, and then hearing the young girl playfully say such words, Han Li could only roll his eyes in his mind.
This kind of rare material, not to mention the gas refining stage disciples, is the foundation stage cultivators also do not see to get a piece, he is really a gas refining stage cultivator, can afford to lose is strange.
At that moment, Han Li did not say much, hand raised, actually the hands of the thing thrown into the tripod, and to the tripod into several other auxiliary materials, then sat on the ground.
A talisman to the body, a layer of light blue light cover emerged from the body, the mouth also came out incantation sound. As a result, the eight gourd-shaped artifacts on the ground, at the same time, the spirit of light, and then the gourd mouth after the red aura flashes, suddenly sprayed out eight red fire columns out, just shot to the lower half of the giant tripod.
At once a hot suffocation filled the entire chamber.
……
While Han Li was busy refining the Blood Silk Silver, in a quiet and remote attic at the top of the mountain peak, there was an elderly Taoist nun with a cold demeanor and a middle-aged beautiful woman talking about something with a grave expression.
”It’s almost time. For the sake of this planning, our Imperial Clan has been planning for more than four hundred years. It took seven or eight generations of emperors to painstakingly work on it before not a single whisper of it leaked out. But if we fail and don’t get those two treasures, I’m afraid that the entire royal family will immediately incur great misfortune. Don’t look at our Ye family has secretly hidden a lot of strength over the years, but really collide with the Buddhist and Taoist forces, I’m afraid it’s still too much to handle. And those rotten Confucians don’t look at the mouth to defend the royal power, but really touched their interests, the first to our royal family, I’m afraid it is also them. I always feel that this time, our Ye family is playing with fire.” The Daoist nun said with a heavy expression.
”Auntie’s words, how could we not know. But this is also the best chance for our Ye Family to completely get rid of the other forces holding them hostage. Don’t forget, how the seventh uncle and his family fell, it wasn’t because they saw that our royal family’s power was slightly larger, and with a few more YuanYing stage cultivators, the several major powers immediately joined forces, and overtly and covertly struck out at the uncle and his family. Afterwards, they still just casually found a reason and shrugged everything off. If we don’t get out of this predicament, our Royal Ye Family is clearly known as the number one family in the Immortal Cultivation World, but in reality, it is nothing more than a victim of compromise between several of their major powers. As long as that rumor is true, and we really obtain those two spiritual treasures, coupled with the forces that our Ye Family has painstakingly cultivated over the years, we will be able to make the other forces throw in the towel and not dare to easily lay their hands on the people of our Ye Family any longer, this risk is still worth taking.” The beautiful woman sighed lightly and said slowly.
”Hmph! Although the Immortal Cultivation World has long been rumored to be incredibly powerful with Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, I still find it hard to believe that with just two treasures alone, I can reverse the course of events and be able to be on equal footing with several major powers. I’m afraid that instead, I’ve made a mistake and completely provoked the prying eyes of other forces, inviting the calamity of harboring a falsehood. Don’t forget that even with the heavenly spiritual treasures, there are still existences of that level behind these forces. Although we don’t know how many there are, as long as just one randomly walks out, they all have the ability to exterminate our Ye Family.” The Daoist nun’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said with extreme scorn.
”An existence at the God Transformation Stage is simply invincible in our realm, even if Third Uncle and the others are holding Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, when facing such old monsters, it is estimated that they can only barely defend themselves. However, Auntie doesn’t need to be too concerned about this matter, our Ye family started secretly investigating the existence and weaknesses of these old monsters a hundred years ago. After a multi-faceted analysis, we estimate that even if these old monsters’ lifespan is really as speculated than the YuanYing stage cultivators, they can still live for more than a thousand years, in the past two thousand years in DaJin, there are not many cultivators who have progressed to the Spirit Transformation Stage as well as those who are likely to progress to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Plus a small part of them, peacefully ascended to the spirit world to go, the remaining residual human world is at most two or three people only. And these people stay in the human world not to go, but also paid a great price, not only can not easily out and people fighting, is to go out is also try to suppress the cultivation at the level of the late Yuanying. Although I don’t know the exact reason, but in this way, these old monsters are not as invincible as the rumors. Furthermore, these old monsters will most likely not strike out for something like the rise and fall of any power.” The middle-aged beauty frowned before saying solemnly.
”How do you guys know these things? Don’t tell me that all of these are your speculative words or what you have inquired about yourselves. Throughout the years, I don’t know how many cultivators have tried to figure out the secrets and news of the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators stranded in the human realm, but all were unsuccessful, you can figure it out so clearly in just over a hundred years, and you’re still very confident, do you really think that I’m old and confused and can’t be fooled? In the end, what else is there to hide that you haven’t said?” Instead of rejoicing, the old Taoist nun’s face suddenly clouded over.
”But we in no way mean to deceive auntie about anything. Although this information was not found out by our Ye Family’s own clan, it was also learned from the mouth of one of the family’s newly enrolled elders some years ago. We projected it and it matches all the other clues we got, so it’s not wrong to say that our Ye Family found it out.” As soon as the beautiful woman saw that her aunt was annoyed, she hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
