"Haoyang Spear."
"Yellow Spirit Bell."
"Color-splitting Treasure Mirror."
After executing Xu Tianfang, Chen Jichuan felt his thoughts clear and unburdened. Witnessing the three top magical tools before him now brought immeasurable joy to his heart.
Xu Tianfang’s fortune was unexpectedly abundant.
When Chen Jichuan cursed Zhang Zhihe in the past, his spoils were far inferior to those obtained from Xu Tianfang.
A full three top-tier magical artifacts.
The ’Haoyang Spear’ could both attack and defend, the ’Yellow Spirit Bell’ specialized in defense, and the ’Color-splitting Treasure Mirror’ was a mysterious tool capable of unraveling arrays.
Fearing Xu Tianfang’s vigilance, Chen Jichuan had specially set up the ’Twelve Azure Dragon Formation’ around the estate.
Though this formation wasn’t top-tier, even someone like Xu Tianfang at the pinnacle of innate cultivation would need considerable effort to break through it.
However, Xu Tianfang had breezed through effortlessly. The credit went to this ’Color-splitting Treasure Mirror.’
"This treasure’s value surpasses both the ’Yellow Spirit Bell’ and the ’Haoyang Spear.’"
Chen Jichuan thought to himself.
He already possessed the ’Insight Skill’ and had no use for this treasure mirror. Instead, he could sell it for other resources.
As for the ’Yellow Spirit Bell’ and ’Haoyang Spear,’ they were undoubtedly useful as well.
But firstly, he already had the ’Liangyi Shield’ and ’Mystic Guiding Sword,’ both of which were top-tier magical tools. Secondly, these two items were clearly Xu Tianfang’s, and using them in the future might expose him.
"It’s best to let go of them all."
Chen Jichuan shook his head and stowed away the three artifacts.
His purpose for luring Xu Tianfang wasn’t the magical tools after all.
"Xu Tianfang is dead. I must seek out Wuk Yuan Immortal Master before anyone discovers this."
Jade Spring Mountain harbored more than just one innate pinnacle like Xu Tianfang.
Once news of his death spread, Jade Spring Mountain would quickly appoint a new spokesperson. At that point, self-interest would complicate matters, and Chen Jichuan wouldn’t easily gain an audience with Wuk Yuan Immortal Master.
Thus—
Chen Jichuan had to act while this brief opportunity lasted.
"Xu Tianfang came greedily seeking the secret treasure, under the cover of night. He likely didn’t inform anyone." Chen Jichuan speculated, though he dared not be entirely certain.
Without delay, he retrieved a copper mirror and cast the ’Circular Light Skill’ to check who Xu Tianfang had interacted with before his death and whether he had mentioned him.
A moment later—
Chen Jichuan finally exhaled in relief and put away the copper mirror.
"As expected, he didn’t speak to anyone."
Under the night’s cover, Xu Tianfang had secretly arrived at Seven Immortals Island, carefully erasing his tracks along the way, concerned that his murder of Chen Jichuan might lead back to him.
Who could have predicted that he would be the one to perish instead?
Such caution in the end had benefitted Chen Jichuan.
"In that case, since his whereabouts can neither be confirmed in life nor death, Xu Tianfang’s demise can remain concealed for a while longer."
Chen Jichuan felt slightly reassured.
Instead of immediately heading to Jade Spring Mountain, he maintained his pattern of visiting the mountain every ten days.
Six days had passed since his last visit to Jade Spring Mountain, so he decided to go after four days!
...
Four days passed swiftly.
On the fourth evening after killing Xu Tianfang, Chen Jichuan arrived at Jade Spring Mountain once more.
"The Master is not in the cave mansion, Junior Master Chen, please return."
A boy emerged from Xu Tianfang’s cave mansion and addressed Chen Jichuan.
"Master Xu is not here?"
Chen Jichuan was taken aback and curiously asked, "Do you know where the Master has gone? May I enter and wait for him?"
"I don’t know."
"The Master hasn’t been in the mountain for three or four days. Junior Master Chen, if you have any matters, it’s best to wait for his return."
The boy replied honestly.
"I see—"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jichuan did not trouble the boy further and said, "Then very well, I shall return in a few days."
After saying this, he turned and left.
The boy watched him leave, puzzled, before returning to the cave mansion.
Meanwhile, Chen Jichuan—
Although he appeared to descend the mountain, he feigned the move. In reality, he outmaneuvered the mountain disciples and headed straight to the summit of Jade Spring Mountain. Having previously accompanied Wuk Yuan Immortal Master to the Ancestor Master’s Cave Mansion, he was naturally familiar with the way.
Through the twists and turns—
He quickly arrived outside the Ancestor Master’s Cave Mansion.
Without Xu Tianfang—
There was no longer anyone to reprimand Chen Jichuan, standing on moral high ground to scold him, fabricate conflicts, and falsely accuse him of disrespecting his elders and trespassing into the Ancestor Master’s Cave Mansion. Such allegations could have rendered him speechless and helpless, sowing prejudice in Wuk Yuan Immortal Master’s mind from the start and leading to numerous detrimental consequences.
Chen Jichuan exhaled in relief, bowed respectfully before the cave mansion, and said, "Disciple Chen Jichuan seeks an audience with the Ancestor Master for important matters!"
His voice traveled into the mansion.
Soon after—
The cave mansion’s doors opened, and a voice from within said, "Enter." freewebnøvel_com
Chen Jichuan recognized it as the voice of Wuk Yuan Immortal Master and was immediately overjoyed. He replied respectfully, then hurriedly stepped inside.
Name: Wuk Yuan
Age: 305
Level: 15
Spirit Roots: Wood, Water, Fire, Earth
Cultivation Techniques: Changchun Skill, Flame Manipulation Technique
Spells: Three Yang True Fire, Great Cloud Rain Technique, ... (truncated)
...
The cave mansion was much the same as forty years earlier.
But Wuk Yuan Immortal Master appeared far more aged than before, with graying temples and a hint of frailty in his demeanor.
This was hardly surprising.
After all, at over 300 years old and nearing the limits of his lifespan, even advancing from Qi Refining Fourth Layer to Qi Refining Fifth Layer could not prevent his appearance from aging in the absence of Youthful Appearance Pills or the practice of Youthful Appearance Technique.
Chen Jichuan dared not linger his gaze, stepped forward, and bowed deeply, "Disciple Chen Jichuan greets the Ancestor Master."
"Rise."
"I remember you. You were the one who spied on Jade Spring Mountain with the ’Thousand-mile Eye’ before becoming a water-carrying boy afterward."
Though Wuk Yuan Immortal Master was still in Qi Refinement, age had made him more talkative, and he surprisingly engaged Chen Jichuan in reminiscence.
Chen Jichuan was both flattered and astonished, quickly responding, "All thanks to the Ancestor Master’s compassion. Despite my rashness, you did not punish me but instead accepted me into Jade Spring Mountain."
"No need for flattery."
"If you’re not cultivating diligently at the base of the mountain, why have you come to see me?"
Wuk Yuan Immortal Master smiled and asked Chen Jichuan.
From his expression—
It seemed he was unaware of Chen Jichuan’s activities over the years in the mainland.
