Chen Shuangbai drank a cup of tea.
Unlike the Jade Dew Spring from the Jade Spring Sect, which is bitter at first but sweet later, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The Dark Crow Tribe is located deep in the Great Li Mountain, a place shrouded in clouds and mist, teeming with insects and beasts. Plain tea is not enough for them, so the tea Chen Shuangbai drinks is on the salty-sweet side.
After silently setting down the tea, Wei Zheng glanced over and also set down his tea.
The high shaman was speaking to Heiming Xuanzhao in the local language, and they were having a very pleasant conversation.
Wei Zheng couldn't understand, but Chen Shuangbai vaguely guessed what it meant.
His spirit is healthy and pure, and he is very sensitive to the emotional expressions of outsiders.
Although he had only been here for a few days, Chen Shuangbai had already learned some of the local dialect.
I can't say it, but I can guess some of it.
The Great Shaman was asking Heiming Xuanzhao things within the Jade Spring Sect. The questions were numerous and varied, including some secrets.
Heiming Xuanzhao's smile didn't diminish; instead, it grew even stronger. However, when it came to certain secrets, he wouldn't answer, only smiling as he looked at the Great Shaman.
After several attempts, the great shaman understood to some extent.
After Heiming Xuanzhao took out all the gifts he had brought from the Jade Spring Sect, the entire room was covered with bursts of Treasure Light.
The dazzling Treasure Light of the treasure held no appeal for a high-ranking Ancient People shaman, but it was incredibly attractive to the other members of the Netherworld Dark Crow Tribe present.
In particular, the Jade Spring Five Pills of the Jade Spring Sect have comprehensive effects and a wide range of benefits, making them most suitable for these Ancient People who make a living in the mountains.
The high shaman looked at his jubilant people and sighed inwardly, thinking to himself: The allure of cultivators' elixirs to the people is still too great!
This predetermined that in the interactions between the two forces, the Jade Spring Sect would always maintain the upper hand.
After the pleasantries were over, the high shaman ordered incense to be burned at the central one-legged black crow statue, and then had several Demon Beast Barbarian Warrior from his tribe drag over, slit their throats, and bleed them, sprinkling the blood beneath the black crow statue.
Before long, the fluttering of birds could be heard from outside.
The room then darkened.
Wei Zheng suddenly looked outside, his eyes shining.
Chen Shuangbai felt as if she were no longer in the mortal realm, as if some force had dragged the entire room into some the Unseen place.
Heiming Xuanzhao reassured the two junior disciples, explaining, "Don't worry, this is the skill of a Great Shaman, and it's also to prevent the aura of that fourth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures from leaking out."
The great shaman's cloudy eyes were now gleaming with an eerie light.
A Barbarian Warrior, acting on his instructions, took out a clay pot from inside.
The pottery jar has a simple and rustic shape, indicating that the craftsman who fired it was not very skilled. It is decorated with a totem of a one-legged black crow, and is tightly bound with a layer of unknown animal skin. There are also ancient incantations painted in black and white on the animal skin.
"Untie it."
The high shaman gave the order.
The Barbarian Warrior expressionlessly untied the animal skin, and in an instant, spiritual light burst forth from the pottery jar, displaying two colors of blue and green, like thousands of tassels, suddenly illuminating the originally dim stone hall with a bright blue and green light!
The three of them leaned closer to look and saw a clear, green seed floating quietly, emanating a powerful life force that did not dissipate but instead swirled around the seed itself.
Heiming Xuanzhao and Wei Zheng were both somewhat mesmerized.
Chen Shuangbai was certain in his heart that such a magnificent vitality must be a fourth-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
" Jade Parasol Tree?"
Heiming Xuanzhao recognized him.
Chen Shuangbai recognized her too.
This is a fourth-tier Spirit Plant, said to have fallen from the moon. It is entirely blue-green, with a translucent stem. It takes a hundred years to flower and a hundred years to bear fruit, and the fruit it produces is called Jade Fruit.
This wood naturally contains abundant vitality and pure wood spirit energy. If it is a mature Jade Parasol Tree, it itself possesses extremely high spiritual gathering power.
Cultivators who stay near it can not only purify themselves of impurities and nourish their souls, but also have their Curse greatly reduced if they are afflicted.
Heiming Xuanzhao sighed softly, "Truly Jade Parasol Tree!"
This is not surprising.
Since the Dark Crow Tribe intended to exchange this spirit seed for the Jade Spring Sect, they must have informed the three True Person within the sect long ago. The Heiming Xuanzhao was able to arrange for him to come over shows that the three True Person valued him and believed that although he came from the Dark Crow Tribe, he cared more about the Jade Spring Sect.
A moment later.
The animal hide was put back on, and the surging azure light receded.
The high shaman silently observed the three of them.
Heiming Xuanzhao paused for a moment, then turned and took out a jade bottle from his robes, presenting it to the Great Shaman. The Great Shaman took it, opened it briefly, and a smile appeared on his face.
" Ya Jiu, leave him to Xuanzhao."
The Barbarian Warrior carrying the pottery jar walked silently to Heiming Xuanzhao and handed the jar over.
As soon as Heiming Xuanzhao got his hands on the pottery jar, he made a move.
First, he took out a roll of something resembling cloth, wrapped it around three times, and tied a knot. Then he took out a shimmering talisman and stuck it on. Finally, he took out a jade box, shrunk the pottery jar, and placed it inside before stopping.
The Great Shaman watched Heiming Xuanzhao skillfully employed the techniques of various cultivators, feeling both admiration and a sense of melancholy.
He faced immense pressure within the tribe when he sent Heiming Xuanzhao away to become a disciple of the Jade Spring Sect, all to ensure a future for the Dark Crow Tribe.
In retrospect, this alternative path was undoubtedly successful.
But... it was perhaps a little too successful.
The Great Shaman could sense that in Heiming Xuanzhao's heart, the Jade Spring Sect held a greater weight than the Dark Crow Tribe.
Although he had foreseen this, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
But he didn't say it.
Speaking out would only put Heiming Xuanzhao in the middle, making it difficult for him to please either side.
After Heiming Xuanzhao sealed the jade box and put it into his Storage Bag, the three of them had completed more than half of their important business of going into the mountain.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Great Shaman was somewhat satisfied, Chen Shuangbai took the initiative to ask about the origin of this fourth-order spirit seed.
The high shaman was vague, only saying that he obtained it from a treasure land in the mountains.
As for what kind of treasure land it is... that's a secret of the Dark Crow Tribe.
That's correct.
If the Dark Crow Tribe had revealed all its secrets to the Jade Spring Sect, there would be no Dark Crow Tribe today.
Wei Zheng then inquired about the current situation in the mountains, emphasizing the old eagle.
Speaking of the old eagle, the great shaman's eyes, which had been glowing with an eerie light, flashed with a fierce glint as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "That demonic eagle has been cursed by my Shaman Incantation, suffering day and night without relief. In its prime, it could rely on its strong Blood Qi to resist, but now it is tormented, its Qi and Blood are low, and it is probably in too much pain to bear it."
"It was in excruciating pain, which made it increasingly difficult to control its temper, and its killing instinct grew stronger."
"Be careful when you leave the mountain. Take the western forest path and stay far away from the demon eagle. I will send someone to escort you out."
