Chapter 1226: Yuanyuan’s Request

“70 sheets of rank five talisman paper, 20 sheets of rank six talisman paper... A rank six talisman inkstick and a set of already prepared ink. 3 rank five inksticks and 4 bottles of prepared ink... There are even 7 Soul Calming Incense, 4 rank five talisman inheritances, and 1 rank six talisman inheritance...”

Shen Chongshan handed everything over with a solemn expression. Only after he confirmed everything did he continue, “Of course, this is just the first batch of resources. I will bring them over after the next batch is prepared.”

Shang Xia didn’t say anything else. Most of his attention was placed on the talisman inheritances as from it, he could probably develop new talismans with the knowledge he gained.

“Why does the Wanyun Association seem more like a conglomerate?” Shang Xia asked casually while browsing through the inheritances.

With an expressionless face, Shen Chongshan muttered, “Well, I’m only in charge of the Wanyun Association’s interaction with the various powers... Anyway, why would you ask that?”

Shang Xia chuckled in response, “Oh, I was just messing around. Anyway, the inheritances here don’t seem to be related to each other. They shouldn’t be part of a series... However, from the strength of your Wanyun Association, it doesn’t seem like you should be lacking in inheritances...”

Shen Chongshan shook his head in response. “This is exactly a complete talisman inheritance set... True Immortal Shang, I do not quite agree with your conjecture.”

Shang Xia chuckled softly and muttered, “Like I said, I was guessing. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

Shooting Shang Xia a deep gaze, Shen Chongshan mumbled, “True Immortal Shang, I will have to trust in your skills now. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you mix in a few talismans not related to these in the mix. After all... It’s not like my Essence Xing World lacks channels to other worlds.”

After he spoke, Shen Chongshan turned to leave. Of course, he glanced in a certain direction of the Star Beast Nest before he departed as he detected another second tier True Immortal.

“From the looks of it, the Essence Ping World seems to take the development of this Star Beast Nest very seriously. Hmm... This is strange. How can an Essence World care so much about a mere nest? No... They should be interested in what I have to offer!”

“Yes... I might be the bridge between both worlds and can become a trusted connection between us! I’m afraid this has a lot more implications than I thought. About Martial Uncle Gong...” Shen Chongshan muttered to himself as he flew out of the Star Beast Nest.

Looking at Shen Chongshan whose emotions were complex as he left, Shang Xia carefully savored a cup of tea.

Not too long later, Hai Yuanyuan brought a middle-aged expert with a solemn expression on his face over.

Shang Xia quickly cupped his fists in greeting. “Congratulations, Senior Huang, for taking the final step! Our world gained another second tier True Immortal!”

The person who came was precisely Huang Jinghan who had been managing the first Star Beast Nest.

What Shang Xia didn’t expect was that not too long after Huang Jinghan was replaced by Lu Wuzi, he managed to break through the bottleneck. Clearly, his foundations were deep...

Huang Jinghan chuckled in response. “Hah... Others might be able to congratulate me like that, but compared to you, I am truly ashamed of my progress...”

Both of them burst out laughing the next moment.

Inviting Huang Jinghan to take a seat, Hai Yuanyuan immediately served another pot of tea.

Huang Jinghan immediately started with a sigh, “Even though I had been developing the other Star Beast Nest, it’s nothing compared to this! I heard that when you first ran into the Star Beast Pack, it consisted of 2 rank six Star Beasts and tens of other high-level ones?”

Shang Xia shook his head in amusement. “Actually, there was another high-level Star Beast breaking through to the sixth rank when I came here. I was caught off guard and if not for the fact that I entered the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, I might have suffered from the sneak attack it attempted.”

Huang Jinghan waved his hands casually in response. “True Immortal Little Shang, you’re too humble! How can an evolving Star Beast harm you?”

He was no fool. Even when they first ran into the first Star Beast Pack, the monster before him was only a second tier True Immortal then. Even so, he beat up a rank six Star Beast so badly it had to run back to its nest. He was also brought back by the Star Beast before returning with its corpse... Why the hell would he be afraid of a Star Beast that hadn’t fully advanced?

After exchanging a little more pleasantries, Huang Jinghan finally asked about the reason Shang Xia invited him over.

“The reason I called you over is because I wish for you to replace me for some time...” Shang Xia explained.

Huang Jinghan was shocked by his sudden revelation. However, he quickly regained his composure and laughed, “I won’t ask where you’re planning to go or what you’re planning to do then. All I want to know is that if you’re really confident I will be able to guard the place well? After all... I just stepped into the second tier of the Martial Void Realm.”

Shang Xia turned serious and explained, “I understand the risks, but I really do have to leave for a period of time. I can only hope for you to stand guard here for some time. I should be back in a month at the latest. The Wanyun Association requested for me to craft a batch of talismans and I should be able to use the excuse that I’m in seclusion to prepare for that. With the situation unclear, they shouldn’t try anything funny.”

Huang Jinghan listened to Shang Xia before asking, “Can your Illusion Talisman replicate the aura of a high-level True Immortal?”

Shang Xia understood his concerns and shook his head slowly to explain, “The difference between the aura of a third tier and fourth tier True Immortal is too large. I won’t be able to complete the modification in a short amount of time and it doesn’t matter if a second or third tier True Immortal uses it. It will only be able to make you look like you’re at the peak of the third tier of the Martial Void Realm. However, you will be able to transform your aura to make it look like you’re a different person every time...”

Huang Jinghan nodded with a trace of self-depreciation and muttered, “In that case, I can only take the risk and stay here. Even if I have nothing else to rely on, using the Illusion Talisman to pretend like I’m at the peak of the third tier should also be useful.”

“Naturally.” Shang Xia didn’t hesitate to agree.

After Huang Jinghan left, Hai Yuanyuan approached Shang Xia and sighed, “He might be able to guess what you’re going to do...”

“Oh? What am I going to do?” Shang Xia couldn’t help but laugh.

Hai Yuanyuan frowned. “For you to be in such a rush... I’m afraid only matters related to the patriarch will be able to get you so worked up. Did Patriarch Kou run into any trouble?”

Shang Xia grinned in response. “Damn lass, you’re not even that old, but your brain seems to be able to come up with a bunch of weird plans. Are you trying to bait me into giving you more information? Hehe... If you have so much time to come up with strange plans like this, why don’t you use your excess energy to cultivate?”

Hai Yuanyuan growled, “I am cultivating! I refined my extermination origins simultaneously and in your terms, my extermination origins are the Polar Extermination Origins. If I wish to gather more extermination qi, I will have to do so from the 4 extreme ends of the world. However, such a large secret region should also contain some extermination qi of the 4 extreme poles. I don’t have to fight with anyone for them here...”

Shang Xia was struck speechless by her reason for heading over to the Star Beast Nest and he couldn’t help but sigh with exasperation, “What the hell? Doesn’t it seem like you’re cheating...”

“Of course not! No one dares to take the same path as you and naturally, none of them will try to snatch the extermination qi I need!” Hai Yuanyuan pouted.

Helpless, Shang Xia could only sigh, “Alright, alright, I guess you will be responsible for showing off the might of this cultivation system then. In the future, you can go ahead and be the founding ancestor.”

“Relax. I won’t forget you when the time comes! Even if I’m the founding ancestor, I’ll place you at a position higher than mine...” Hai Yuanyuan giggled.

With his eyelids twitching slightly, Shang Xia snorted, “Hmph, you’re asking for a beating, you disrespectful fool.”

Hai Yuanyuan was naturally not afraid of Shang Xia, but she quickly started yelling, “Wait, wait, don’t hit me! I have a real request!”

“What makes you think I’ll agree to help?” Shang Xia tilted his head to the side and mumbled.

Still giggling, Hai Yuanyuan ran over to Shang Xia and grabbed his arm before swinging it around. She suddenly started to whine, “Uncle...”

“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t start now; just tell me what you want. Sigh... Where did that quiet and cute little girl who would start drooling when she sees food in the stalls along the street go...?” Shang Xia sighed.

Pouting, Hai Yuanyuan eventually shot him a wide grin. “I’m about to complete the refinement of my extermination origins to reach the peak of the Four Constellation Realm! I should start to prepare to enter the Five Element Realm... Can you... Can you ask your biggest fan, that Formation Grandmaster, to help me out?”

“What?! What the hell do you know?!” Shang Xia snapped suddenly.

“Hehe... Do you really think everyone is dumb?” Hai Yuanyuan pressed her lips together and whispered. Noticing Shang Xia staring at her, her eyes spun before her smile returned. “Can’t you help me out here?! I’m not familiar with Hall Master Chu. I have to trouble you to ask on my behalf...”

“No wait...” Shang Xia frowned as he turned slightly to the side. “Why do you need her help when preparing to enter the Five Element Realm? Why don’t you ask me instead?”

Shang Xia was the cultivator who established the cultivation system. Even though Chu Jia successfully entered the Five Element Realm, she merely changed the way she cultivated mid way. She couldn’t be considered a true disciple of Shang Xia’s cultivation system, unlike Hai Yuanyuan!

Glancing at him, Hai Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, “My Polar Extermination Origin is extremely compatible with the dao of space. I might be at the Four Constellation Realm, but my comprehension of the dao of space has already surpassed several Martial Dipper Realm experts... In order to prepare to enter the Five Element Realm, I have to continue working on the dao of space! Hall Master Chu created the Five Element Formation System and something related to the Five Element Teleportation Formation might also be the best chance for me to gather my fate dipper essences...”

Shang Xia burst out laughing suddenly. “You’re only at the large completion stage of the Four Constellation Realm, and you haven’t comprehended your martial intent. Even so, you already started to think about the Five Element Realm... How did I find a disciple like you who wants to fly before you learn how to run?! I...”

Hai Yuanyuan turned and started to run away after realizing that Shang Xia was about to start his long-winded lectures.

Looking at her departing figure, Shang Xia seemed to fall deep into his thoughts as he muttered to himself, “The dao of space... From the looks of it, she has already started to walk down her own cultivation path.”
