Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The night was cold and quiet.

The forbidden area of ​​the Nangong Ancient Clan was completely silent.

The blood-stained flying boat departed from the thirteenth ancestral hall... and returned to the sixth ancestral hall.

The round trip takes only an hour.

Zhao Qing now possesses two earth-shattering treasures.

The Zhenyue Cauldron of the Nangong clan, with its ancient clan's Taoist military heritage, has great symbolic significance, which goes without saying.

The Jade Cicada of Startling Wind is an extremely rare and precious artifact, so much so that it is no exaggeration to say that it is coveted by immortal lords.

now.

Zhao Qing and his senior sister stood side by side.

The two stared silently at the night sky over their ancestral land, their eyes filled with an inexplicable sense of reminiscence...

"Is this part of the dowry?"

"Nangong Yao promised herself to you?"

Whale Girl muttered to herself, clearly still savoring the final instructions from the Master of Jade Mandarin Duck Pavilion.

What does it mean to... make Nangong Yao serve in the Blood Robe Clan?

They were practically saying they wanted Zhao Qing to become the son-in-law of the Nangong family.

They sent a lady and then soldiers...?

However, I have some complaints about this.

Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin smiled slightly in unison, seemingly unconcerned.

What a joke! ?

A dignified immortal lord, the new mistress of the jade mandarin duck.

Calling them over in the middle of the night just to marry them off to their own short, inexperienced relative!?

That's obviously impossible.

Zhao Qing had previously joked with Jin Yi, but both of them understood the deeper meaning behind it.

Looking back at Whale Girl, Zhao Qing clicked his tongue and sighed softly, "She's serving Blood Robe, not me."

Is there a difference?

Whale Girl scoffed, thinking to herself, "Damn it, isn't there only one man in the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm?"

And seeing her expression like that.

Zhao Qing simply smiled and remained silent.

Nangong Cangyuan's intention was clearly not to have Nangong Yao become his concubine, so why would he need to meet her so late at night?

Zhang Jin smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and whispered.

"There are still differences."

"Serving within the Blood-Clad Clan..."

"What the Lord of Nangong means is that he is going to throw the fate of the Nangong Ancient Clan, which will be stripped of its position as the Jade Mandarin Duck after two thousand years, into the Demon Court."

"Doesn't he always say that he doesn't have much time left to live?"

"There must be a deeper meaning behind this. If he were to die or if Cuiyuan were to crash and burn again, the Demon Court could take over half of the mess and continue the lineage."

Ok……

Zhao Qing nodded slowly, deeply agreeing with Sister Zhang's speculation.

This action by Nangong Cangyuan.

It was clearly an attempt to curry favor with Qingjun and the Demon Court.

It was by surrendering their core strength that they completed their political allegiance, demonstrating that the Nangong family was honest and that no matter how they outwardly maneuvered, their true intentions were already with the Demon Court.

What they mean by bringing it to Nangong Yao is that they're just handing over Nangong Yao and Dao Bing to Xueyi together.

Startling wind, chilling jade cicada! Nangong Zhenyue Cauldron!

Could this be Xiao Nangong's dowry?

She's not even worthy of being my concubine?

Hey!

...I'm laughing in my sleep.

“He knew that his master was in the Nangong clan.”

"Or rather, he was convinced that we could see our master at any time."

Sister Zhang's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she spoke in a lazy, low voice.

Zhao Qing did not respond.

This was obvious; after all, everyone had seen the commotion he had caused in the Mingxian Hall.

Of course he and Sister Zhang could see Qingjun, otherwise why would someone give them such a precious treasure?

pity……

Even the dignified Master of the Jade Mandarin Duck Pavilion doesn't have the chance to meet the Master of the Blood-Clad Pavilion.

……

soon.

The three of them returned to the rear hall of the Six Shrines.

The whale girl continued to observe from outside.

Zhao Qing and Sister Zhang went into their own rooms and returned to the Heavenly Evolution Record.

When the two were led into the secret realm by Shuyue.

Si He was already a fellow traveler, just waiting to play with those two treasures.

Ningmei and Xiaoyi also came over, and Xi'er, carrying Nangong Yao's soul lamp, was also present.

The commotion over at the Jade Mandarin Duck Tower.

The family clearly knew everything, since Sihe and Sihe were of one mind, so of course they would come over to join in such a big celebration.

Xiao Nangong's spirit form was ethereal, her almond-shaped eyes smiling as she stared at Zhao Qing and the other man without saying a word, appearing particularly curious.

Zhao Qing saw this.

He then smiled and tossed the small cauldron and jade cicada to Si He to play with and perceive.

We'll also take everyone to the island.

Ningmei's watery eyes rippled as she leaned closer, linking her arm with Shuyue's, and scrutinized the jade cicada in Sihe's hand intently: "Is this a corpse?"

"The Three Corpses are not corpses, but something that is in harmony with the Great Dao."

"After merging with the Dao, this part needs to be detached in order to break free from dependence on the Dao principles..."

Si He whispered casually, holding the jade cicada in her palm and examining it.

He was speaking.

Whether it's the immortals' union with the Dao or the gods' entrapment in the Dao.

Essentially, it all comes down to perceiving the rules of heaven and earth, integrating them into one's being, and then breaking free from the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the attainment of the three realms of Dao is called the severing of the three corpses.

The trap of the mountain and sea is called leaping over the seven pools.

The essence is the same.

Ningmei carefully took the jade cicada from Sihe and touched it...

It's hard not to feel a sense of shock and disbelief.

There is actually a supreme treasure in this world that leads to the Immortal Lord through the path of refining emptiness and severing the way.

It should be understood that rare treasures that can help one transform from a Nascent Soul to a Divine Spirit are already extremely rare and can only be traded, often being priceless.

Not to mention the celestial lords who are worlds apart from them!

The heritage of the Nangong Ancient Clan, passed down for tens of thousands of years, is actually contained in such a jade cicada!

now.

Ningmei played with it for only a few moments before carefully handing it over to her aunt.

In response, Auntie and Shuyue naturally took turns touching, looking at, and examining the items closely.

this thing.

I've never heard of it before, let alone seen it.

It's not even fair to say that each one used is one less available; they are truly rare in the world and hard to find in the Nine Realms.

Before the calamity, in the sea of ​​no return, the immortal lord nurtured by heaven and earth, and the corpse of Peng Ju, severed by the startled cicada.

Where can you find a second one like that?!

Shuyue found the new and exciting thing to do. She held the cicada in her palm and examined it carefully. She felt that her five elements had become clear and bright, and her golden core was surging and wanted to transform into an infant!

Of course... the Dao Corpse cannot gather the true essence of heaven and earth.

This was purely Shuyue's misconception.

However, her cultivation is indeed nearing completion.

As for the Zhenyue Ding (镇岳鼎).

Si He tried it out and found that it had many uses, such as refining incense and suppressing the clan's fortune... but in essence, it was a soul-refining cauldron.

This is a killing cauldron.

It was like a thousand powerful soul banners converging, the Yin energy sealed within them reaching the heavens and the earth, having long since transformed into the purest Taiyin power.

It is evident that in the past, this was also a terrifying and devastating weapon.

However, under the current rules of Jade Capital, this monstrous cauldron will never have the chance to relive its former madness.

"The All-Powerful Cauldron".

Si He chuckled, pondering this, but did not attempt to make a move.

After all, this is their own family's secret place...

"My aunt can use it to protect the national fortune of the Siyou Divine Dynasty."

"The Bone Woman can use the pure essence of Yin to aid her cultivation."

"To hasten the offering of incense and refine pills is a waste of talent."

Zhao Qing smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself that his buddy was just in need of a pill furnace... Although a good alchemist doesn't discriminate when it comes to furnaces, he would still take one if it were given to him for free.

The short girl took the small cauldron, examined it carefully with a slightly serious expression, then smiled and pursed her lips without saying a word.

She wanted to know what the ancestor had said.

However, in front of Aunt Shuyue... she felt a little embarrassed to chat about other things.

As the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family, how could she not have any self-awareness?

I'm sure I'm not out of the running.

……

soon.

The group of people, together riding the wind, landed on Qingjun's small island.

Together with Zhao Qing, Sister Zhang, and Si He, they went to see their master again, carrying the two treasures.

Shuyue, Xiaoyi, and the others, carrying Xiao Nangong's soul lamp, went to Chu Xin's small residence for a while...

After Zhao Qing knocked on the door, he returned to Qingying's courtyard.

The little girl was already covered in sweat, her chubby cheeks drooping as she squatted against the corner of the wall.

Qinghuan was still smiling as she tended to the fire, preparing some soup for her.

"Owner."

Qinghuan smiled and called out, her phoenix eyes meeting Sihe's gaze with amusement. This time, she didn't deliberately cause trouble by calling her "Mistress."

"Ah."

Zhao Qing chuckled and nodded.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Si Hejin and moved closer to the little girl.

“The owner of Cuiyuan Tower gave me two things.”

"Let's bring this back to our master and see what we should do with it. Or should we find an excuse to send it back?"

Zhao Qing's question drew a teasing glance from his senior sister.

Why send it back?!

Don't be in vain!

However, this also depends on the master's opinion; in principle, they shouldn't have taken it in the first place.

But since they've already given it to me, how can I not take it?

Take it first and then ask Master, it's the same!

as predicted.

Upon hearing that Zhao Qing had brought back something, Xiao Qingying glanced at the two of them with surprise, her big eyes wide.

Seeing that Sihe was in high spirits again... without a doubt, the Nangong family must have suffered a great loss.

Ah!

Three money-grubbers!

"what?"

The little girl asked in a soft, questioning voice, fanning herself with a small fan. Strands of hair, glistening with sweat, fluttered across her fair, plump face... She had the air of a wealthy lady, yet she was quite the little devil.

"garrulous."

Si Hehao reached into the depths of his wrist and, in front of Xiao Qingying's face, spread his hands, displaying a miniature cauldron in his palm.

"Zhenyue."

Zhang Jin said softly, "These are the original words of the Master of Cuiyuan Tower."

"They said they would bring this item to Nangong Yao to accompany her in her cultivation... and that the blood-stained clothes would be kept by us, which is pretty much the gist of it."

Hmm... I understand.

Xiao Qingying's sparse eyelashes drooped slightly, and she said after only one glance, "Is this it?"

"Stay."

"The malevolent energy is too strong. It can be kept in the Star Palace normally, but nominally given to Nangong Yao."

Oh……

It was nominally given to Nangong Yao.

No.

Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating his doubt.

So who does it actually go to?

What we're saying is...

at the moment.

With his master in person, he naturally had the audacity to ask, "The Taiyin essence inside the cauldron is pure. If I refine some pills to nourish the soul and consciousness, will it be beneficial?"

Qingying:?

What do you say?

You are a master alchemist, why are you asking your master?

She was uninterested and simply nodded without caring, "Then you can give it a try."

OK!

OK!

Zhao Qing chuckled and nodded. Judging from Qingying's words, the cauldron didn't need to be returned, nor would it be sent to Blood-Clad Star or Myriad Gods Palace... That's fine then.

Who wouldn't want more precious treasures?

"anything else?"

Xiao Qingying seemed quite familiar with the Zhenyue Cauldron, or perhaps had fought with it before, but now she didn't seem to care much.

He ignored it after a few words.

He turned to look at Zhang Jinyi, and asked again with a puzzled expression.

Sister Zhang hesitated for a moment, then her expression turned strange.
