Chapter 149: Purple Sword and Black Shield
Sitting in the cave, Ye Changsheng held two magic weapons, a sword and a shield in his hands.
The sword is purple and is called the Purple Light Sword, and the shield is black and is called the Black Pattern Shield.
Ancient treasures are famous for their enormous power, and unlike some magic weapons, they do not have certain requirements on the spiritual roots of the cultivator.
Therefore, among high-level monks, ancient treasures are often the most popular.
Even the worst ancient treasure would cost more than 50,000 spirit stones. Even a cultivator would be tempted when seeing it.
If one can obtain one or two ancient treasures during the Jindan stage, he can immediately become one of the most powerful people in the Jindan stage.
Ye Changsheng has more than one magic weapon on him. Some were obtained by killing the Jindan cultivator from the Yuling Sect, and some were obtained by killing the Jindan cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.
But he had no plan to refine these magical weapons.
It’s just that their power is still somewhat different from that of these two ancient treasures.
Sitting peacefully in the cave , refining the two ancient treasures, Ye Changsheng went into seclusion again as soon as he came out of seclusion.
It was not until a few months later that he slowly opened his eyes, looked inward, and saw the golden and green bead in his dantian, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
During this retreat, he not only refined the magic weapon, but also became familiar with his own cultivation and magic power in the Jindan period.
Walking out of the cave, recalling the sound transmission notes from before, Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes, flew out of Xiaohuan Island and headed towards Kuixing Island.
It is not enough to just work in isolation. Having just reached the stage of Dan, one still needs to communicate with other cultivators of the same level to learn about some taboos in this realm.
Arriving at Tianzhu Peak, the highest peak on Kuixing Island, Ye Changsheng passed a sound transmission note in.
After a while, the cave on Tianzhu Peak opened wide, and a middle-aged man walked out accompanied by a hearty laugh.
It is none other than Mulong Zhenren, the master of Kuixing Island!
"Your presence, Fellow Daoist Ye, truly brings honor to my humble abode. Please come in!"
Ye Changsheng also smiled and bowed, saying: "I had just completed the formation of the elixir that day, and was unable to welcome the visit of fellow Taoists in time. It is really a sin!"
"No, no, Brother Ye has just achieved Golden Core Perfection. We have all experienced that feeling, so how can we not understand? Brother Ye, don't worry about this!"
As they talked, they walked into the cave together and sat down as host and guest.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Master Mulong began to ask about Ye Changsheng's background in a roundabout way.
"Brother Ye is indeed a bit unfamiliar. I think I am quite familiar with the southwest area of the Inner Star Sea, but I can't tell where Brother Ye's master came from!"
Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "I have always been a hermit until I reached the false elixir stage. I came to Kuixing Island to obtain the Snow Spirit Water and the Sky Fire Liquid. It is normal that Brother Mulong does not recognize me!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Master Mulong stroked his beard, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.
Seclusion?
It is hard to believe this kind of statement. How can one live in seclusion until the false elixir stage?
Unless the cultivators in this world have top-notch qualifications like those with natural spiritual roots, if they want to cultivate to the level of false elixir or core elixir, they must go out into the world and deal with various cultivators.
Once you deal with monks, conflicts are inevitable.
In this way, no matter how unknown a person is, as long as he can cultivate to this level, he will be known by others.
However, this Fellow Daoist Ye seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and it was impossible to find his way there.
This made Master Mulong feel uneasy.
However, he was not stupid enough to ask about Ye Changsheng's origins.
Everyone has their own secrets. Anyone who can cultivate to the Jindan stage is definitely not a simple character.
It is normal to have some past that cannot be talked about openly.
Therefore, Master Mulong just asked casually and did not inquire about Ye Changsheng's origins any more.
Instead, his voice became gentle , and he said, "So, Brother Dao is just a casual cultivator?"
"Yes, I am indeed a casual cultivator at the moment!"
As soon as Ye Changsheng said this, Master Mulong immediately became enthusiastic.
He laughed and asked, "I wonder if Brother Ye has any plans to join our Kuixing Island?"
"Our Kuixing Island is an external force of the Xing Palace, and can be considered a part of the Xing Palace. If Brother Dao joins Kuixing Island, it is equivalent to joining the Xing Palace!"
"The Star Palace is the power that controls our Chaos Star Sea. I don't need to tell you the benefits of joining the Star Palace, right?"
"Not only that, after joining Kuixing Island, Brother Dao can directly become the deputy island master of Kuixing Island, and receive an offering of 500 spirit stones every year. Brother Dao will no longer have to work so hard to earn spirit stones, and can just sit in the cave and practice peacefully, enjoying the offerings from the disciples below. This is a good thing that many people wish for!"
Master Mulong enthusiastically introduced a lot of benefits of joining Kuixing Island.
It was also mentioned that if one performs well on Kuixing Island, one might even be able to join the Xing Palace in the future.
After he finished saying all this, he looked at Ye Changsheng with an extremely expectant look.
Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he said with a look of shame and regret:
"Well, to be honest, Brother Dao, you have given me so many conditions, and I am also very tempted. However... I am used to being an idle wanderer, and I have no plans to join any forces for the time being!"
Upon hearing this, Master Mulong's eyes flashed with disappointment. He laughed and said, "Forget it. Since Brother Ye doesn't want to join Kuixing Island, I can't force him. I just hope that if Brother Ye can change his mind in the future, please give priority to Kuixing Island!"
"Definitely next time!" Ye Changsheng said with a bow.
"Okay!" Master Mulong stroked his beard and said:
"I am a few years older than you and entered the Jindan stage earlier than you. I have a lot of understanding about this realm. Since you are here today, I can discuss this with you!"
Ye Changsheng was waiting for this, and immediately a look of joy appeared on his face. He bowed and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Brother Dao!"
So, next, the two of them began to discuss the mysteries of the Jindan stage.
It has been more than one hundred years since Master Mulong entered the Jindan stage, so he naturally has extremely rich experience.
Ye Changsheng learned a lot of information about Jindan stage cultivators from him. These things were not secret, but they were rarely circulated among low-level cultivators.
If we don’t communicate with other Jindan cultivators, it would be difficult to find out.
Ye Changsheng benefited a lot from the conversation with Master Mu Long. Two hours later, he stood up and said goodbye to Master Mu Long.
Looking at a certain place in the cave meaningfully, Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance today. I will definitely come to visit again when I have time in the future!"
"Haha, then I'll be waiting for Brother Ye's arrival!" said Master Mulong, bowing.
Ye Changsheng nodded and walked out of the cave.
