Chapter 358: 208. Substitute for oneself in a calamity, Mountain and Sea Immortal Treasure_2

So at that moment, Shuang Jia could only hesitate as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Then, helplessly, she said to Xuan Li, “You make sense.”

Xuan Li smiled in response and excused himself to study the Alchemy Furnace Treasure obtained from Tan, the Patrol Mountain Envoy, and entered the closed meditation chamber. Seeing Xuan Li going into seclusion, Shuang Jia immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would take good care of the cave dwelling.

However, after Xuan Li had secluded himself, Shuang Jia entered the void and left the cave dwelling directly.

Because she needed to report this matter.

After all, that Fangtian halberd was an extremely powerful Immortal Treasure. And this Immortal Treasure was prepared for Wan Chen Suyi from the Wanchen Immortal Clan!

It was essential for the Cultivator’s future achievement of the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law!

For this Immortal Treasure to reveal its true nature, Xuan Li had to sacrifice his own bloodline and burn his life to sharpen this Fangtian halberd!

This was a long-planned scheme.

Everything had been arranged properly. Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo had also made big moves under the arrangement, but who would have thought that at this time, a cultivator named Tan would come and take away this significant Immortal Treasure!

If she were not innately incapable of swearing, Shuang Jia would certainly have been cursing non-stop.

The Lingyu Realm was very vast, even larger than Shenxu Heaven, but Shuang Jia was adept at Shuttle Through Void, becoming nihility, so in just a short while, she had crossed countless miles and appeared on a mountain surrounded by purple mist.

This was a mountain in the Lingyu Realm considered “rarely known.”

However, this “rarely known” does not mean that this place was not famous or unknown, but rather that not everyone has the qualifications to come here.

This mountain is called Nameless Mountain.

On the mountain, there is a bamboo forest with six colors. Each color corresponds to a magical medicine, which are: purple Thunder Bamboo, light-blue Square Bamboo, orange Fire Bamboo, red Blood Demon Bamboo, black Xuan Dragon Bamboo, and white Water Moon Bamboo.

These six types of bamboo are famous throughout the Land of the Four Pillars.

Because each kind of bamboo can not only serve as a magical medicine but can also be a magical artifact.

The Thunder Bamboo only needs a cultivator to refine it with slight cultivation, and it can shake off thousands of thunder lights. This thunder, while having the might of thunderbolts, also has the effect of purging evil and slaying demons.

Among them, the purging effect, as rumored, once matched a True Immortal Thunder Bamboo which emitted thunder light that directly struck down the Dao Fruit of a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter, forcing him to reincarnate and cultivate anew.

Of course, the Thunder Bamboo here naturally doesn’t possess such miraculous and world-shocking capabilities.

But the effect of this bamboo on restraining the sinister qi in Immortals is still as profound as directly facing one’s own father, completely irresistible.

Besides the Thunder Bamboo, the other five types of bamboo each possess their mysterious qualities, and their powers at their peaks are no less than that of the Thunder Bamboo.

This clearly shows the extraordinariness of this Nameless Mountain!

There are just over ten cultivators on this mountain, among them seven appear as boys or girls, serving around the place. There are five others, four of whom are disciples of one person.

At this time, Shuang Jia needed to see one of these four people.

And this person, named Yan Guilong, who had cultivated the Subduing Dragon True Scripture for nearly eight thousand years, and had a cultivation age of over two thousand years, was a well-known powerful cultivator in Lingyu Realm!

Shuang Jia didn’t get to see Yan Guilong immediately because she was stopped by a servant boy under Yan Guilong.

“Why aren’t you at the base of the mountain managing the affairs of the descendants of the Mountain Sea Jiao, and instead coming back here?” The servant boy under Yan Guilong stopped Shuang Jia, looking rather annoyed.

“I have an important matter to report to the master! It’s about that Immortal Treasure!” Shuang Jia hurriedly said. Although she was also from Nameless Mountain, her status couldn’t compare to the servant boy under Yan Gui Long.

Not only was this servant boy, but the other six servant boys also held high status on Nameless Mountain.

Each had their own background.

However, Shuang Jia was not the same, she did not even qualify to ascend Nameless Mountain on normal days. It was only because she got the opportunity to work for Nameless Mountain that she had three chances to enter and leave Nameless Mountain.

This was her second time coming to Nameless Mountain.

The first time was when she was summoned here, after all, being able to ascend this mountain was a blessing in itself, so it naturally counted among those three opportunities.

“That Immortal Treasure?” The attendant boy under Yan Guilong, who knew quite a bit, changed his expression slightly upon hearing this, because that was related to whether a member of the Immortal Clan could achieve the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law.

Thus, the attendant boy under Yan Guilong quickly brought Shuang Jia inside.

Yan Guilong was a middle-aged man-like cultivator, after all, he had cultivated for eight thousand years, although once one became Immortal, lifespan became unlimited, and how long one could live depended entirely on oneself. However, across these nearly eight thousand years, many Immortals inevitably had started to age.

With Yan Guilong’s capability, he could probably live another twenty thousand years or so.

His lifespan could still be said to be quite sufficient.

“Was the Mountain Sea Jiao lineage sent out?” Although he was a cultivator who left his name in the Triple Testament of Immortality, Yan Guilong’s face couldn’t help but change when he heard this news.

Because the situation could become very serious.

It should be known that he too possessed the Mountain Sea Jiao lineage, and if Xuan Li could not sacrifice the Mountain Sea Halberd on his behalf, then he would have to sacrifice the Mountain Sea Halberd himself!

“Why did you not stop it?” Yan Guilong asked coldly.

“By the time I thought to stop it, that cultivator had already taken the Mountain Sea Halberd and left, so I had no choice but to persuade Xuan Li to reclaim it, but Xuan Li suspected the Mountain Sea Halberd, and I couldn’t directly say it was an Immortal Treasure…” Shuang Jia quickly explained the situation.

After listening to Shuang Jia’s words, Yan Guilong’s brows slightly furrowed; he hadn’t expected that a hasty decision on his part had aroused the suspicion of the owner of the Mountain Sea Jiao lineage.

This made Yan Guilong somewhat frustrated.

When it is not your own concern, it’s easy to stay calm and composed, but when it concerns oneself, namely one’s own life, who could remain unruffled?

“Master, shall I go and retrieve the Mountain Sea Halberd?” the attendant boy under Yan Guilong then suggested.

“Retrieving the treasure is easy,” Yan Guilong replied.

He understood the meaning of his servant, but what worried him was not this point. A Patrol Mountain Envoy was not something he worried about. After all, to him, a cultivator of over two thousand years and Triple Testament, a mere Single Testament was nothing.

What Yan Guilong was worried about was how to have Xuan Li continue to hold the Mountain Sea Halberd, and then, at the appropriate time, use his life to restore the original appearance of the Mountain Sea Halberd.

“Should I make that fellow return the Mountain Sea Halberd?” the attendant boy under Yan Guilong quickly suggested.

“That method also won’t dispel the owner of the Mountain Sea Jiao lineage’s suspicions,” Yan Guilong sighed lightly.

“Master, is there a way to make the Mountain Sea Halberd display some unusual prowess, and then have that woman actively ask for it back?”

“That method is difficult too,” Yan Guilong shook his head; what his servant could think of, he naturally had already considered. However, he was quite pleased with his servant’s attitude.

“Enough, I shall go down the mountain myself!” Yan Guilong decided after thinking for a moment.

Previously, his haste had led to mishaps, and this time he wanted to proceed with caution.

So, Yan Guilong instructed, “You go back first; take this object with you, and if there’s anything, contact me through this, and no other means of contact are allowed. Boy, you go visit your Uncle Master and ask him for some gourds of the pills he recently refined.”

Those words were addressed to Shuang Jia at the beginning, and to his own boy at the end.

And these two, having received Yan Guilong’s orders, also hurriedly set about their tasks. One carried the magical artifact bestowed by Yan Guilong, shuttling through the void, and returned to the cave dwelling in Mysterious Black Mountain, while the other went to another place in Nameless Mountain, an area scorched by alchemical fire.

Soon, the boy returned carrying several gourds radiating precious light, and Yan Guilong led the boy down the mountain.

A few days later, two figures appeared near Mang Mountain.
