Divine Ability Stele

At the Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Haoyu clenched her fists, her face tense as she watched the battle outside the mountain. Although she was not Golden Core Cultivator, with her cultivation level and experience, she could still discern some of the intricacies of the situation.

Qi Yulong's ability to fight two Golden Core Cultivators is truly unexpected.

But since things had come to this point, Yang Haoyu could only place her hopes on the two Golden Core Cultivators, since she couldn't get involved.

Buzz!

The dazzling red and blue light slowly moved along the complex and mysterious Array Mark. Between the water and fire, it burst forth with powerful force, which stalemated with the dark demonic hand in mid-air.

Jin Lianri's expression was solemn, his crimson Law Power surging and supporting the operation of the Two Principles Water-Fire Formation. He was extremely surprised by the power of this dark demonic hand.

This demonic palm technique is of unknown Divine Ability, possessing domineering power yet unpredictable and elusive. When it strikes, it's as if Chaos Grotto descends, its omnipresent devouring power so overwhelming that even the water and fire energies formed by Third-Tier Middle-Grade grand formation can only barely contend with it.

But it was only barely manageable; it still couldn't avoid being devoured bit by bit, its energy transformed into Devil Qi to enhance its own power.

As time passed, relying on that unpredictable devouring power, Qi Yulong's Wheel-Turning Great Hand Seal gradually gained the upper hand, and the light of the Two Principles Water-Fire Formation dimmed little by little.

Seeing the situation gradually deteriorating, the two Golden Core Cultivators' expressions darkened, and they were about to take out their trump cards.

As members dispatched by the Nascent Soul faction to purchase supplies in the Three Counties, they naturally carried many trump cards to deal with various situations.

Even for Nascent Soul sect at the county level, Golden Core Cultivators are an invaluable backbone force, and they will not be allowed to be easily lost.

But just as they were about to make a move, Qi Yulong in the sky suddenly stopped.

The dark demonic hand transformed into Heavenly Demon energy that flowed back into his palm. With a flick of his sleeve, Qi Yulong unexpectedly laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Friends, now that we've tested each other, how about we stop?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lianri and Zheng Qiufeng exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and wariness in each other's eyes. What was this demon up to?

Seeing their surprised and uncertain expressions, Qi Yulong flicked his finger through his Storage Ring and took out an exquisite red token. On the token were clearly written "Six Desires Red Dust Sect"!

"The Six Desires Red Dust Token?"

So this demon is indeed connected to the Six Desires Red Dust Sect? A slight tightness gripped Jin Lianri's heart, and he spoke, his voice grave, "Sect Master Qi, what do you mean by this? Are you threatening me? Don't forget, this is the Northern River Region. Even if the Six Desires Red Dust Sect is incredibly powerful, it has no jurisdiction over my Gold and Silver Alliance!"

"Hehe, Daoist Friends misunderstands. I took out this Six Desires Red Dust Token not to threaten you, but simply to show that our two families are not enemies!"

"What do you mean? I don't recall having any connection with a powerful sect like the Six Desires Red Dust Sect World Gold and Silver Alliance."

"Of course I know that. The Gold and Silver Alliance has nothing to do with the Six Desires Red Dust Sect, but surely 'Celestial Person Sword Immortal Chen Qiaosheng' is related to the Gold and Silver Alliance?"

"Senior Chen?"

Jin Lianri looked puzzled. What did this have to do with Chen Qiaosheng?

"Hehe, I won't say anything more. All you need to know is that my Dragon Valley Sect belongs to the Six Desires Red Dust Sect, and the Six Desires Red Dust Sect will not take action against your Gold and Silver Alliance."

"Is that so..." Jin Lianri lowered his head and pondered, unsure whether the person in front of him was telling the truth or not.

"It should be true. Do you remember that rumor? It's said that Lin Yingyue, the sect leader of the Six Desires Red Dust Sect, has a very good relationship with Senior Chen. Could it be because of this?" Zheng Qiufeng whispered.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lianri frowned slightly, then suddenly realized what was going on. He then recalled that Qi Yulong had the upper hand in the previous battle, so why would he lie to them again?

Therefore, what the other party said is probably true, so...

"Then please, Daoist Friends, step forward for a chat!"

Jin Lianri gestured with his right hand, but did not leave the formation. His underlying meaning was clear: if you want to prove your sincerity, you must first enter my formation.

It's important to understand that being outside the formation and being inside the formation are two completely different concepts. In the former, one can leave or stay at will and act as one pleases.

In the latter case, if the cultivator manipulating the Formation were to have ulterior motives, the danger level would increase dramatically.

"Good!"

Who would have thought that as soon as Jin Lianri spoke, Qi Yulong stepped forward without hesitation and calmly entered the Two Principles Water-Fire Formation.

It's unclear whether he genuinely believed in Jin Lianri or simply had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

After taking a deep look at Qi Yulong, Jin Lianri felt that the latter was probably more likely.

Despite their growing wariness of this person, the two Golden Core cultivators chatted and laughed as they set out an exquisite table laden with Spirit Tea and pastries.

The two then sat facing each other, and the atmosphere became rather subtle.

However, being a businessman, Jin Lianri took the initiative to speak first, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"May I ask what Daoist Friends's plans are regarding this Divine Ability Stele?"

"It's very simple. You and I will each hold a portion of the Divine Ability Stele, and naturally we will record all the Divine Ability on this treasure, one copy for each of us!" Qi Yulong said softly with a smile on his lips.

"How should the Divine Ability Stele itself be distributed? This stele is made of Heavenly Evolving Stone, which can not only help people cultivate Divine Ability, but also lower the threshold for inscribing Divine Ability. Its value is not much less than that of a Third-Tier Middle-Grade Law Treasure." Qi Yulong said with a faint smile.

The Heavenly Evolving Stone he mentioned is a rare Spirit Material, similar in function to Jade Slip, but of a much higher grade.

The greatest use of this Spirit Material is for inscribing Divine Abilities. Normally, in order to inscribe Divine Ability onto Jade Slip, a cultivator needs to cultivate that Divine Ability to Great Achievement point of mastery.

However, once you possess the Heavenly Evolving Stone, you don't need to go through all that trouble; you can simply use your Divine Sense to guide the process.

Due to the unique material of this stone, not only can the methods of cultivating Divine Ability be inherited completely and flawlessly, but even the spiritual thoughts of the cultivator can be preserved, which can guide later generations to cultivate Divine Ability, deepen their understanding, and provide tremendous help.

Therefore, the Divine Ability Stele in Jin Lianri's hands is precious not only because it contains the methods for cultivating Divine Ability, but also because the Heavenly Evolving Stone itself is a priceless treasure.

"That's easy. Our sect happens to have a blank Heavenly Evolving Stone. After the Divine Ability is transferred, Daoist Friends can compensate me with some resources!"

As he spoke, Qi Yulong took out a Pale Azure square stone and placed it on the table.

This stone appears ordinary, but when Jin Lianri swept it with his Divine Sense, mysterious and unfathomable Spirit Mark emerged from it, making one's mind clear and tranquil upon seeing it.

"It really is Heavenly Evolving Stone! Daoist Friends is truly Fortune. Such treasures are rare!" Jin Lianri exclaimed, glancing at Qi Yulong with considerable surprise.

"It was merely a matter of chance, a small fortuitous opportunity, nothing to boast about! It can't compare to the Gold and Silver Alliance's vast wealth and inexhaustible supply of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"Daoist Friends Qi is too kind. In that case, let's do as Daoist Friends says. This is the Divine Ability Stele I have. It took me quite a bit of effort to retrieve it from the Dragon Valley Hall."

As he spoke, Jin Lianri took out a dark oval stone tablet from his Storage Ring and gently placed it on the table.
