Why the Son of Destiny is the Son of Destiny

Xia Wantang blinked her eyes.

"Does the second young master's happiness for the rest of his life not even warrant a small magic treasure?"

Actually, she didn't want to ask for another magic treasure.

The main reason was her fear that Xia Yingwu would take advantage of the situation and hide all the magic treasures left by the ancestor, replacing them with magic treasures from the Azure Cloud Palace.

If she asked for one item from each side, it would be difficult for Xia Yingwu to play any tricks.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yingwu was momentarily speechless.

If Xia Wantang hadn't used her Ice Spiritual Energy to extinguish the fire yesterday, Xia Ba would indeed have been in greater danger.

The mention of this matter made him angry. At first, he had thought it was just a fire caused by a candle.

But the fire couldn't be extinguished with ordinary water, so someone must have been behind it.

He had already ordered people to search the entire Luoxia City for all cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots, determined to find the culprit.

Thinking of this, Xia Yingwu finally sighed and admitted defeat.

"Alright, Wantang, follow me."

No matter what, magic artifacts were ultimately external possessions; nothing was more important than his son's life.

If Xia Wantang hadn't been present yesterday, this matter truly couldn't have been resolved.

Xia Wantang followed Xia Yingwu to the Xia Family's treasure vault.

There was a Defense Formation outside the vault, and no one could enter except the owner of the formation.

Xia Wantang had been analyzing her chances of breaking the formation, but after entering the vault, she fell silent.

Although the colorful items inside looked good, she really couldn't have too many expectations for the Xia Family's treasure vault.

These magic treasures were basically all Heaven Grade. There were only seven or eight Immortal Grade Magic Treasures in total, and they were all below Immortal Grade Fifth Tier.

It made sense; even if the Azure Cloud Palace was generous, they wouldn't give many Immortal Grade Magic Treasures.

The ancestor's cultivation was only at the Spirit Sovereign Realm. If the magic treasures were compared to his realm, a Spirit Sovereign Realm cultivator could probably only possess magic treasures around Immortal Grade Second Tier, so there wasn't anything particularly outstanding.

"Wantang, all the magic treasures left by the ancestor and those given by the Azure Cloud Palace are here. Pick two."

Xia Yingwu said this with a pained expression, clearly unaware that Xia Wantang's standards had already been raised by the System and she found these items quite ordinary.

[Host, although these items are quite average, the gacha system gets harder as you progress, so it's best to choose two practical magic treasures.]

Xia Wantang agreed with the System's words and began to choose from the seven or eight magic treasures.

She had too many swords and couldn't use them at all, so she passed.

The cultivation methods were of average grade, and there were no suitable ones, so she passed.

The defensive magic artifacts could only defend against cultivators below the Spirit Sovereign Realm, and besides, she had the Spirit Emperor Sealing Talisman, so she passed.

She quickly eliminated several magic treasures. Xia Wantang looked around and found only two magic treasures she could use.

The first was an Immortal Grade Third Tier cauldron, named Dew Radiance Cauldron.

When she learned artifact refining or even alchemy in the future, she would inevitably need to display it publicly.

Her own Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron was a Divine Grade magic artifact, which was too rare.

An innocent man is guilty when he possesses wealth; the existence of the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron was best kept unknown to outsiders.

This Dew Radiance Cauldron was very suitable for acting as a cover.

The second was a Jade Purity Pill, suitable for tempering the Nascent Soul and advancing cultivation. Although it was only Immortal Grade First Tier, it was very suitable for Xia Wantang's current cultivation level.

Seeing that Xia Wantang had quickly chosen her magic treasures, Xia Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

He had truly been afraid that this troublesome young lady would suddenly demand more.

"Patriarch, I will be leaving the Xia Family tomorrow and returning to the Azure Cloud Palace."

Luoxia City was too remote, and the spiritual power was thin; it was really uninteresting.

She might as well return to cultivate earlier, or use spirit stones to browse for treasures along the way.

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Yingwu's mouth couldn't stop turning upwards.

"That's great, it's good for you to return and cultivate sooner."

"I've heard all about it, Wantang. Strive to achieve good results in the Inner Sect Grand Competition and the Sect Grand Competition."

Wonderful, it was best for this jinx to leave quickly, otherwise, he truly feared that the Xia Family's foundation would be depleted by her.

After bidding farewell, Xia Wantang prepared to go out to the streets.

Since she was already here, even though Luoxia City wasn't very interesting, what if she could find some rare magic treasures?

As soon as she walked out of the Xia Family's main gate, an old figure caught Xia Wantang's attention.

Is that... She Yunzi?

Her pupils contracted, and she immediately withdrew her gaze.

Given She Yunzi's high cultivation, he would surely be perceptive, and it would be bad if the other party noticed her.

At the same time, countless guesses surged in her heart:

Why would She Yunzi come to Luoxia City?

Was it to hunt down the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique?

Or was there some other secret or treasure in Luoxia City?

Thinking this, Xia Wantang turned into a nearby alley, secretly observing She Yunzi's movements.

Although it was only for a second or two, She Yunzi still noticed her.

However, when She Yunzi turned his head and saw a "stranger," he didn't pay it any mind.

His reason for entering Luoxia City this time was, on one hand, to search if that detestable demonic beast had hidden here.

On the other hand, the Gold Devouring Beast had reacted unusually.

Even though the Gold Devouring Beast had only been agitated for a moment before immediately calming down, She Yunzi still wanted to try his luck here.

The most likely reason for the Gold Devouring Beast's reaction was that the person possessing the treasure had momentarily exposed their aura before hiding it again, indicating that the person had a rather powerful trump card.

Just as Xia Wantang was sneakily observing She Yunzi, the System's electronic voice sounded, startling her greatly:

"Host, host, this System just detected the aura of a Son of Destiny! And it's a strange one, an aura not encountered before."

"But it disappeared in an instant, it's so weird."

Hearing the System's words, and combined with She Yunzi's appearance, Xia Wantang quickly connected the two events:

Could it be that a Son of Destiny had indeed appeared in Luoxia City, and She Yunzi had already set his sights on them?

What a disaster! If She Yunzi killed the Son of Destiny, wouldn't she lose a potential source of resources?

"Host, rest assured, the reason they are called Sons of Destiny is precisely because they are favored by the Way of Heaven."

"Even when facing She Yunzi, the Son of Destiny can turn danger into safety."

Xia Wantang: Nothing to worry about? Then she had to follow and see.

She set up a barrier around herself to shield her aura and, seeing She Yunzi turn into the small woods by the city gate, she quietly followed.

Outside the city gate, among the bushes.

A small beast, entirely blue, was curled up in the bushes. There was a scar on its back, and it looked on the verge of death, clearly severely injured.

Its appearance was very peculiar: its head resembled a sheep, its hooves resembled a wolf, its body was like a musk deer, its tail like a dragon, and it had a dragon horn growing on its head.

Even more special were the scales on its body, which faintly emitted a multicolored glow, shimmering with brilliance.

Sensing that someone was staring at it, the little beast quickly circulated its cultivation technique, merging its aura with the environment.

At this moment, an aged figure approached, about to reach it—
