The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 84 Obtaining Treasures, Methods, and Fortune (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The jade talisman with the character "Tai" often contains edicts to the position of the water god, representing the controller of this section of the Jing River basin. Zhou Yan could sense that the newly born dragon Ao Xuantao had formed a mysterious karmic bond with the old man.

The original jade talisman, which contained only one character, the Thai character, began to change.

Above the jade talisman.

The jade talisman now features delicate, azure patterns, resembling rushing rivers across the land. At the same time, the talisman brings a fresh and new feeling.

They no longer possess the qualifications to issue edicts and command the gods.

It is no longer an empty shell.

The wisps of energy converge, and by wielding the jade talisman with the character "Tai," one can mobilize the power of the dragon and python, as if the dragon and python, the water god, were protecting one's body. One can mobilize magical power, control the water flow and waves, and from now on, the myriad streams of the Jing River will be your protectors, and the creatures in the water will be your eyes and ears.

It can gather water to bombard the enemy with the force of surging waves.

It can also turn the water flow into a whirlpool, pulling the opponent into deep water, squeezing out the air from their chest, and causing them to drown.

This is the authority of nature, which is different from the power that the Mysterious Official gathers within himself.

Zhou Yan felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

After the jade talisman of the character "Tai" bestowed a title upon Ao Xuantao, even Zhou Yan himself was able to use Ao Xuantao's methods.

As long as one has enough magical power, one can stir up waves. He understood why the Lord of the Azure Netherworld would choose to guide those monsters he valued, and even bestow treasures upon them to help them grow.

What is given away will eventually be taken back.

Even laws bestowed by imperial decree will eventually return to their source.

He commands the gods of mountains and rivers to govern all directions.

Zhou Yan sat atop the python's head, a jade talisman between his fingers.

Sensing the changes within, the feeling for the jade talisman with the character "泰" became clearer.

"The decree commands all the gods, like loyal ministers and valiant generals, to surround you, just as the North Star remains in its place while all the other stars revolve around it. This is the truth of this path. That is why the Master of the Azure Netherworld is willing to distort other divinity and spirituality in order to walk this path."

"Then, where did the Duke of Taishan's original troops go?"

"Or is it that someone took action against the Duke of Taishan because his power and authority were too great, too authoritative, and his suppression of them was too strong?"

The jade talisman with the character "泰" represents the authority of the water god.

When Zhou Yan stepped into the water, the power of the Fengsui lineage—the ability to restore magic power by stepping on the ground—would spread further. Now, as long as one wields this talisman and steps into the surging river, the speed of magic power recovery would also increase.

Zhou Yan clenched his fist, feeling the transformation brought about by the jade talisman with the character "Tai".

He felt some mental pressure. With his current cultivation level, the [Tai] character jade talisman could only support one more deity at most before it would be difficult to maintain, since his true form was only a ninth-rank Xuan official.

Even if there are extraordinary encounters, whether it's magical power or cultivation level...

They are all still very weak.

Zhou Yan felt the Tai character jade talisman become heavier, and sensed the depletion of its supernatural power. The young man's face contorted in a grotesque way. It was incredibly powerful and impressive, a truly wondrous method of understanding the mysteries of mountains and rivers.

However, there is one slight drawback that is not really a drawback.

This supernatural power was created based on the water gods of the dragon race.

As everyone knows, dragons are born with flesh and blood and physique that surpass the pinnacle of living beings. Even breathing increases their magical power. As long as they can eat, they can grow. With bodies and physiques that are often hundreds of meters long, the magical power they condense will naturally be even greater.

That's amazing, another spell that drains me dry.

When Zhou Yan discovered that even the divine power of the Jinghe River dragon clan consumed less energy than the first move of that magic sword, he roughly understood the personality of the drunken old man who appeared in his dream. He murmured:
"He created the sword technique not when he was drunk."

"You ignored everything and poured all your magic power into it, didn't you?"

"...No, he must have filled it all in, and he might even have overdrawn it."

Zhou Yan thought of that older brother and took the wine flask from his waist.

This was just brought back from the Jiaomang Mountain Cave; it's fine wine prepared by Heifeng.

I wonder if I can give this to that older brother.

Ao Xuantao led them along the waterway at a rapid pace toward Wugong Town. Zhou Yan, having grown tired of the scenery, took out a few items from his pocket and began to play with and tidy them up.

He stretched out his hand, and on his palm, the broken seal gleamed faintly.

Seal of the Governor of Yongming Town.

Half of the human fortune inside was devoured by Zhou Yan when he advanced to the Beacon Tower, and the other part was exhausted when Hei Feng controlled the Flood Dragon. Now, only an empty shell remains.

Even an empty shell has the ability to store fortune.

The materials themselves are also quite excellent.

Whether it's re-infusing it with humanitarian spirit or melting it down into raw materials, both are good options. However, this thing is somewhat taboo, so selling it for money is probably impossible.

It's highly unlikely that anyone would risk the name of their entire clan to seize the false emperor's seal.

Especially its spiritual essence was severely depleted, so Zhou Yan regretfully accepted the treasure.

The other was a ball of white spider silk, which carried a wisp of spiritual light. It was given to him by Black Wind when he died, and Black Wind's true spirit told him how to use it when it awakened the serpent.

The treasure was personally woven by the Weaver Girl and contains thirteen layers of transformation.

Wearing it on one's body and performing hand seals grants the ability to transform.

People of all ages and genders are represented.

Zhou Yan tried it out, and even with his pitifully small amount of magical power, he could still use this spiritual object. However, Zhou Yan was no longer the naive person he was when he first came to this world.

He suspected that this thing might have some kind of positioning associated with the Weaver Girl.

Otherwise, would Zhu Zicheng, under the command of the Weaver Girl, have been so easily given to Black Wind? And why was Bihen able to appear when Black Wind attacked him?

This thing is 98% likely to be faulty.

Zhou Yan asked Shen Cangming, who pressed his sword against the object and said, "Blood energy, malevolent energy, and incense can all be blocked and repelled."

Zhou Yan decided that if all else failed, he would sell them at the Wugong Town market.

Get a better sword and a new mount.

The knife that Shen Cangming brought him was probably from a nearby town, or perhaps a bandit's waist knife. It was of good quality and well-maintained, but Zhou Yan had just fought a fierce battle with a monster while carrying it, and the blade was damaged.

Especially when poking at Lady Clam's soft flesh.

At that time, Zhou Yan unleashed the power of the Beacon Tower and successfully killed it. Now, looking at it again, the spine of the blade is twisted to a certain extent. It should be that when Zhou Yan killed the demon, the blade could not withstand the collision of the power between the clam spirit and Zhou Yan, and twisted in the middle.

The donkey is gone, and the knife is a bit broken.

His clothes were torn in places again, and the ointment made with the blood of the tiger spirit of Misty Peak mixed with herbs, which could restore magic power to a certain extent, was only a third left. He used the Buddha's light to smear his face, which caused some of the pale golden lamp oil in the Buddha lamp to be consumed.

In battle, Zhou Yan acted without hesitation.

Using all sorts of methods and relying on this fighting instinct, as well as various spiritual objects, even a ninth-rank Xuan official instantly unleashed a suppressive force that even an eighth-rank Xuan official would find troublesome.

Although the mana shortage caused it to drop back to square one.

Don't ask about the wear and tear and costs of the items yet.

At that time, the suppression and explosive power were sufficient.

Zhou Yan realized something.

The Swordsman class seems to consume money quite quickly, doesn't it?

"Does this mean that being a chivalrous knight-errant is a profession that easily leads to poverty?"

As the fight went on, their clothes were torn, their weapons broke, and their mounts were eaten by monsters. If it weren't for the gossipy scholar Yin Zichuan successfully extracting the pearl from the clam spirit, Zhou Yan would have felt utterly ripped off.

That pearl is also a spiritual object, it just hasn't been processed yet.

It's somewhat similar to the Green Wood Gourd that I just obtained from Black Wind. Without the tempering by Mu Degong and the infusion of hundreds of years of worldly energy, the wooden gourd wouldn't have become the treasure it is today.

If the oil lamp had not been used to deliver the souls of the deceased, it would not have been able to transform into its current form.

This pearl is the culmination of eighty percent of the demonic power of the clam spirit.

If given the right opportunity, it could be refined and infused, potentially transforming into a treasure; even without this opportunity, grinding it into powder could artificially create large-scale miasma; besides that…

Zhou Yan looked at the pearl, which was about the size of his fist.

This thing must be worth a lot of money, right?

This battle brought great benefits, solving the problem of the pursuing demons. However, he had to replace his sword, lost his mount, and his clothes were torn. Zhou Yan sighed deeply.

After sorting through his haul, Zhou Yan figured he hadn't lost anything, and stared blankly at the surging waves.

But at that moment, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a slight blur before his eyes.

Qingming Market -

After sending the Weaver Girl back, the Master of Qingming was displeased, but he thought that Zhou Yan had only obtained a wisp of the Dao Fruit, which was ultimately of little use. It only meant that Zhou Yan, who held that wisp of the Dao Fruit, was qualified to walk the same path as him.

Being eligible is not the same as making it to the end.

However, when she felt her Dao Fruit again, she was suddenly stunned. She felt that a part of her Dao Fruit was beginning to dissipate.

This means that Zhou Yan has already made some progress on this path.

Therefore, it encroached on the portion allocated to the Azure Netherworld Monk.

The Great Dao is singular, and the same authority exists. If one person occupies too much, the other side will occupy less. The Qingming Pavilion Master's pupils contracted in disbelief. In just a short time, the ant that had taken a big bite out of him had grown larger and occupied more of the Dao Fruits.

If you were an ant just now, you're at least a grasshopper now.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Netherworld Master as he grasped the Dao Fruit, determined to track Zhou Yan's aura with all his might. At the same time, the other beings who had obtained a portion of the Mount Tai Gong Dao Fruit also sensed that a seventh being had arrived on this path.

In fact, they have taken a very big step on this path.

Therefore, their divine will, using the portion of the Dao Fruit they possessed, traced back to find Zhou Yan, hoping to use the opportunity of him embarking on the path to locate his whereabouts.

Zhou Yan's mind returned to the dream space. From the lit-up jade talisman with the character "Tai," he understood everything. His lips twitched, and he murmured, "There's also a full-map view?"

Divine intent appeared in his dream space.

Zhou Yan felt he needed to fix the gate.

We need to deal with the immediate issues first.

Then, when these divine wills, which were of unknown origin, whether through divination, fortune-telling, or sensing, came rushing over, Zhou Yan saw that scroll of imperial edict.

A thought flashed through Zhou Yan's mind, and he stepped forward, grabbed the imperial edict, and suddenly unfolded it.

The cloud patterns on the imperial edict flowed.

Zhou Yan could almost sense the voices of those divine beings: "Who are you?"

"who is it?"

"who?"

Zhou Yan remained unfazed, pointing the Saint's Seal, representing the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty, at these probing divine wills.

then.

Without hesitation, I applied it!
