Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 412 News from the Master

Jiao Jiao was flying slowly and leisurely when he suddenly sensed a young man running towards him in a panic. This man had obviously reached the middle stage of the Jindan realm, but he had obviously encountered a strong enemy. One of his arms was cut off at the shoulder and he had no time to deal with it. Jiao Jiao immediately restrained his breath and hid in the clouds.

"Boy Yue, let's see how far you can run!" Following closely behind were two old men in black robes, who were of the same level as him. They rode on the rolling demonic energy and were obviously faster than the young man named Yue.

Soon the young man was blocked from both sides. The young man named Yue looked ashen. He was now at the end of his rope and had no choice but to fight to the death to see if he could find someone to take him down with him. There was a murderous gleam in his eyes.

"Kill!" The old demon general didn't waste any words. He took out his magic weapon and rushed towards the young man.

The young man had no choice but to use his magic flying sword to stab the enemy in front of him, no longer caring about the attack from behind.

"Huh?" Jiao Jiao, who was hiding in the clouds, was watching a fierce battle with great interest, but suddenly she saw a clear word "Liu" engraved on the hilt of the flying sword. She recognized it as her master's notes at a glance.

"Ha!" Jiao Jiao fell from the sky, and with one claw, he slapped away the magic knife that was stabbing at the young man's back, and spit out a stream of dragon fire, turning the old demon cultivator behind him into ashes.

The demon cultivator attacking from the front was so frightened that his soul flew away. He didn't care about his magic sword, bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, then used the blood magic to quickly escape. Jiao Jiao flapped his wings lightly and chased after him, smashing him into a pulp with one claw.

The young man was utterly shocked. The two powerful demon cultivators who had chased him to the limit of his power were no match for the demon cultivator before him. After dispatching the two demon cultivators, Jiao Jiao transformed into a young girl and approached the young man. She grabbed his magic flying sword and examined it closely.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior!" The young man seemed to react, fell to his knees and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"It is indeed the master's weapon-refining technique. This feels like a magic weapon that was refined effortlessly. It is even more powerful. The master's weapon-refining level has improved again." Jiao Jiao thought silently.

Seeing the Demon King staring blankly at his flying sword, ignoring him, the young man's heart leaped into his throat. The demon beasts were even more capricious than the demon cultivators. He wondered anxiously if they would just kill him.

"Let me ask you, who made this flying sword of yours?" After pondering for a long time, Jiao Jiao suddenly asked.

"It was made by Grandmaster Liu, the weapon-refining master of the Righteous Alliance." The young man answered truthfully without hiding anything.

"Master Liu?" It turned out to be the master. Jiao Jiao was delighted.

"Where is Master Liu now?" Jiao Jiao asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. Ever since the Chaos Tower came into being, Grandmaster Liu has disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Are you sure you're not in the Righteous Alliance anymore?"

"It should be confirmed that Grandmaster Liu is an expert in both weapons and elixirs. Grandmaster Liu's works have not been seen in recent decades, so this junior has concluded that Grandmaster Liu is no longer in the alliance."

"Ah, he's missing again. No wonder I can't sense the master's presence within a thousand miles around here. Could it be that he's hiding somewhere in seclusion?" Jiao Jiao's burning heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and he became depressed again in an instant.

Jiao Jiao threw the flying sword to the young man and disappeared before his eyes.

"Farewell, senior!" The young man kowtowed again towards the place where Jiao Jiao disappeared. After a long time, he happily put away the storage bags of the two demon cultivators and quickly left this dangerous place.

Jiao Jiao determined the approximate time her master appeared in the Chaos Sea and began to follow this lead. The best approach, of course, would be to directly attack the Righteous Path Alliance and demand his release. However, the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and she wasn't arrogant enough to challenge such a master directly. Asking her father to help her retrieve the master was even more inappropriate. Her father hated her master to the core, and if he found Liu Xing, wouldn't that bring disaster upon her master? After careful consideration, Jiao Jiao decided to slowly and quietly investigate on her own.

That day, she stopped by a hotel to rest and happened upon two old men, Yuan Yi and Wuyazi, drinking and chatting. Jiao Jiao took a closer look. An eighth-level ape demon? High-level demonic beasts were rare here, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.

"Huh?" When Jiao Jiao inadvertently looked at the old man opposite the ape demon, she immediately sensed Liu Xing's breath from him.

If we were to say who is most sensitive to Liu Xing's scent, apart from Pang Pang who is with him day and night, it would be the loyal Jiao Jiao.

"This old man must have lived with the master for a long time, which is why he was contaminated with such a strong aura that has lingered for decades." Jiao Jiao's eyes turned, and a plan came to her mind. She skipped towards the two of them.

"Hello, fellow Taoists. I am also very interested in the matter of ascension. I heard you two mentioned it just now. I wonder if I can join you in the chat?" Jiao Jiao came forward with a smile and sat down at the table without any hesitation, looking at the two old men with his big black eyes.

"Level eight dragon!" The two were shocked when they saw Jiao Jiao's amazing cultivation and true form, and they couldn't guess what the girl's purpose was.

"We are all kindred spirits, welcome." The two old men looked at each other. They knew that since the guests were already seated at the table, they could not possibly turn them away. So they pretended to be hospitable. However, since it was not appropriate to talk too much with someone you had only just met, the two old men fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Jiao Jiao ignored them and continued to pour wine for the two old men, drinking along with them, and taking the initiative to bring up the topic of ascension. Jiao Jiao had come with the God Transformation Patriarch and knew much more than the two old men. She randomly picked out some unimportant information and immediately piqued the curiosity of the two old men.

The three of them talked more and more excitedly, and drank more and more wine. The two old men gradually became familiar with the young girl. After spending more than ten days together, Jiao Jiao saw that the other party was no longer so defensive towards her, so she gradually asked about the strange stories of the Chaos Tower in the past few decades. Wuyazi talked endlessly about the birth of the Chaos Tower. This was not a secret. Everyone in the Chaos Sea knew about it, only Jiao Jiao, who had just arrived, did not know about it. Jiao Jiao gradually brought the topic back to refining equipment, saying that her people were not good at refining equipment, and they wanted to find a human refining master to help them refine magic weapons. Unexpectedly, Wuyazi seemed to be reminded of sad things and did not want to talk more.

Yuan Yi was also surprised. Although he had only known this old friend for a short time, he was cheerful and open-minded. He had never seen him in such a state of despair. So he asked with concern if he could help. Jiao Jiao quickly patted her chest and said she was willing to lend a hand.

"Well, this is not a secret. It's just that it involves a close friend of mine, and I feel a little sad." Wuyazi saw that his two drinking buddies cared about him so much, so he took advantage of the alcohol and told them the story of Liu Xing and his wife and his own depressed mood.
