Chapter 527: Chapter 527
"This magical artifact is really powerful!" Listening to Lin, it seemed like a simple capture net, emitting a faint spiritual power. Even holding it directly in hand, it was easy to overlook.
After all, it was too inconspicuous, gray and limp, with no apparent relation to a strong magical artifact.
But with its Mahayana Realm Great Perfection level of perception, one could sense that the material and refining technique of this net were not to be underestimated.
Especially the seemingly random arrangement and distribution of the net threads that occasionally flickered with light spots; in fact, unless a demon beast or demon cultivator had a realm sufficient to tear it apart or burn it completely in an instant, once captured and stuck, it truly wasn’t easy to escape.
Unfortunately, it can only be used once, so it’s a practical artifact but cannot be termed a magical treasure.
"Is it so powerful?" Wan Mingchuan looked at the capture net that was allotted to him and asked quietly, "Wouldn’t it be great if we could make more and use the nets to hunt demon beasts easily in Carefree City?"
Bai Yunqi flicked him lightly on the head, "Dream on! The venerable family’s painstakingly refined magical artifact is meant for our defense.
Using a magical artifact for hunting mere demon beasts is such a waste. You should go out more and gain some insight. The venerable family has pampered you so much, you have no idea of the value of precious magical artifacts."
After a light knock, Wan Mingchuan’s face couldn’t help but flush slightly red.
Growing up in a secluded small village with no knowledge;
Now following his master on the path of cultivation, he hadn’t been to the market, didn’t need to worry about clothing, food, and shelter, and even his weapon was given by his master. The value of these magical artifacts and treasures, indeed, he had no concept of.
It wasn’t until he went to the Lin Family in Central Province that he realized he was living a life akin to an immortal.
The problem is, after a simple comparison, he only knows that everything his master provides is the best, but what is its value? How is it refined, and what is the consumption? Wan Mingchuan truly doesn’t know!
"I just thought the capture net looks rather ordinary..." He lowered his head slightly and said in a small voice, "Besides, Master took out several at once, I thought it was easy to refine."
Indeed, it’s not difficult. Jiang Yuan heard the two muttering quietly to each other, and thought the capture net could actually be used purely as consumables to slay monsters and upgrade.
The main thing is now just starting to brush for mysterious cave loot is limited, but after some time to accumulate, with the Mandarin Duck Swords and Yu Hu warriors supported, gather enough materials to make hundreds of capture nets, wouldn’t that be easy to use?
Each member of the small courtyard received a bottle of Clear Heart Pill and a capture net, and their favorability rose, even the newcomer with the lowest favorability got to six hearts.
"There is a need to adjust the arrangements slightly now." An hour ago, the side quest on Jiang Yuan’s vision finally showed signs, starting the ten-day countdown.
He then instructed Qingniao and Listening Lin, "From now on, you two stay at home, take the Clear Heart Pill and cultivate properly. Wait until I come back for further arrangements;
Mingchuan should not go to Carefree City tonight, stay home to store energy, and I will take you to the Celestial Sword Sect tomorrow.
Your grandfather is the Vice Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, in a state of retreat after failing to advance his realm, subsequently enduring the grief of seeing his child pass away, further saddened and closed-up.
Thinking that since your birth details have been clarified, you should meet with your grandfather to let him know his daughter left behind a bloodline, and bring some comfort to his heart.
Additionally, he is elderly with old injuries, we should visit to see if any elixir can heal him, which would be seen as a filial duty to your mother;
It’s unclear how many days we’ll be staying at the Celestial Sword Sect on this trip, so I brought five days of immortal jade for Miss Hu Jiu, and you’ll have to stay at the Treasure Pavilion in the meantime, just wait for me to return, and I’ll pick you up;
As for other people, feel free to arrange yourself, you can cultivate at home or go hunting at Carefree City and stay there for a few days."
As he finished speaking, Yun Mo raised its wings and continued, "I’ll go along with the gentleman to send Little Chuanzi, it’s more convenient to have a mount when traveling."
"I’ll also go along." Bai Yunqi played with a fan in his hand and smiled, "We shouldn’t be too rushed when meeting elders this time, I’ll still lead the way to probe the situation."
Hu Zhile quickly echoed, "Go together, go together. Though it is a sect that reactivated after spiritual energy revival in the human world, with so many people and chatter, if there are matters unsuitable for the venerable family, it will be more convenient for me and Senior Bai to handle them together."
It’s still the same identification configuration as last time, Jiang Yuan felt it was still suitable. Check latest chapters at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Listening Lin stayed to watch the house, unafraid of being unattended at home and encountering trouble in the small courtyard;
Miss Hu Jiu, adept in business, as the side quest needs prolonged time, using the teleportation scroll to make a quick run to replenish goods for her is enough.
After arrangements were made, in the afternoon, Jiang Yuan took Wan Mingchuan to the Netherworld to visit his grandfather.
"Mr. Jiang’s timely arrival, I was about to send you a message." Upon seeing them, Wan An was filled with joy, lowered his voice and said, "Something big has happened in the Netherworld! I heard from Yin Messenger Ma Hongtu that a fierce ghost has escaped from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and it seems to have stolen some treasure."
Anyhow, the entire Underworld has been alerted, even the Ghost King and Impermanence are busy searching for the fierce ghost.
Ma Hongtu even came to specially instruct me to stay in Black Water City and not to go out rashly; and Madam Yin Mountain sent a message to me yesterday, asking me not to leave the city for now, so I didn’t dare go to Lotus Peak, delaying the mining progress."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan waved with a smile, and said, "Your safety is more important, since even the Yin Messenger has said so, the situation must not be good. You should enjoy some peace and cultivate well in the city, wait for this tumult to pass and for the Underworld to resolve the matter, then go to Lotus Peak, there’s time."
"Able to escape from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, how powerful must that fierce ghost be?" The more Wan An thought about this matter, the more he felt there were truly formidable characters out there.
After this cultivation period, and having Mr. Jiang’s resources to support, he was barely stronger than an average ghost, and still had weak knees seeing the Yin Messenger.
How many years of cultivation would it take to beat a Yin Messenger and escape Hell?
"Sir! These past few days, something has happened, our goods have been all selling..." As the grandfather and grandson were chatting leisurely, the gate was suddenly pushed open.
Robust in build, wearing a short shirt and long pants, Lin Dayou entered cheerfully and with quick strides. Seeing Jiang Yuan, he slightly hesitated, but quickly stepped forward to pay his respects, "Mr. Jiang, long time no see, have you been well lately?"
Borrowing Grandpa Wan’s influence, now he had a shop in Black Water City dealing in odd goods, and business was quite good, at least saving money after daily expenses.
All this owed to Mr. Jiang’s generous help; had it not been for his kind assistance, he would likely still be suffering from a fire poison underneath the mountain digging for ores, waiting for death.
Lately, many ghosts suddenly swarmed into the city, causing chaos everywhere, and everyday items from his general store were nearly sold out. Making a good profit put him in a great mood, intending to share the good news with Grandpa, and have a drink together later.
Unexpectedly meeting Mr. Jiang, after some polite exchange, Lin Dayou carefully asked, "I have something to trouble Mr. Jiang... You know, I have a son and a daughter, both rescued by you originally, then my wife and kids settled in Anping Town with your help. All was quite well, but my son Lin Chunsheng seems a bit off!"
