The Golden Lock-Could He Still Be Alive?
"What about these two Law Treasure?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.
Putting the golden lock aside, since the Wind Thunder Pearl can act on its own,
When the Red Saber Sect attacked, Fang Tong was able to activate the Wind Thunder Pearl by reciting the Mnemonic.
This is a fourth-grade Law Treasure, which only Nascent Soul Cultivator can wield.
The Red Saber Sect is no match for the Wind Thunder Pearl.
A bitter look flashed across Fang Tong's face.
"The Wind Thunder Pearl is gone, but the Golden Lock is still here; it's currently in my possession."
"They ran away? How did they run away?" Li Yunjing asked, puzzled.
Fang Tong sighed, "It's all the fault of my Luozhen Sect."
"The Wind Thunder Pearl has given birth to a spirit, and that spirit needs to consume one pound of Wind Thunder Sand every month."
This Wind Thunder Sand can only be formed in places prone to thunderstorms, where it is constantly subjected to the hammering of lightning and the blowing of wind.
Even a first-grade Wind Thunder Sand is valuable enough.
However, the Wind Thunder Pearl doesn't need to consume Grade 1 Wind Thunder Sand, but rather Grade 4 Wind Thunder Sand.
At first, Luozhen Sect could satisfy them, but later they simply couldn't.
After discussing it with Wind Thunder Pearl, it was decided that they didn't need to consume fourth-grade Wind Thunder Sand anymore; even lower-grade sand would be fine.
Unfortunately, the guy in charge of procuring the Wind Thunder Sand at the time had lost his mind.
They actually embezzled some of the Spirit Stone.
This results in a reduction in the amount of Wind Thunder Sand supplied to the Wind Thunder Pearl.
At first, Wind Thunder Pearl didn't pay much attention, thinking that Luozhen Sect was in trouble.
But that guy went even further. After the matter was exposed, Wind Thunder Pearl was furious and ran away in a huff.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing didn't know what to say.
"The Luozhen Sect has indeed searched for the Wind Thunder Pearl, but..."
Fang Tong shook his head, clearly indicating there was no result.
"May I take a look at that golden lock?" Li Yunjing asked.
Fang Tong nodded and took out the golden lock Law Treasure.
This gold lock looks like an ordinary lock, nothing special about it.
Li Yunjing took it and examined it carefully, but he felt that the lock was somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, Li Yunjing was startled.
"No, isn't this the lock that Master always played with?" Li Yunjing began to tremble all over.
Fang Tong was immediately startled upon seeing this.
I don't know why Li Yunjing suddenly became so agitated.
"True Person Li, what's wrong with you...?"
Li Yunjing suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Tong.
"Senior Fang, is there only one golden lock in the Luozhen Sect? Or is there more than one?"
Fang Tong didn't understand, but he still told Li Yunjing.
"There's only one of these; such a rare item, where would a second one come from?"
Li Yunjing felt disappointed after hearing this, realizing that he had been overthinking things.
But at this moment, the Grand Elder Hong Xiuyuan:
"Sect Leader, have you forgotten? There are nine golden locks, not just one."
Li Yunjing then looked at Hong Xiuyuan: "What do you mean by that?"
Hong Xiuyuan, "There is a record in the Luozhen Sect that clearly records the origin of this golden lock."
This golden lock was crafted by a master weapon refiner of the Luozhen Sect at the cost of his life.
There are nine in total, and it is said that if all nine are gathered together, a person can be brought back to life.
However, because this item was too extraordinary, the nine golden locks were struck by a heavenly tribulation the moment they were forged.
The nine golden locks were forced to separate.
The ancestors of the Luozhen Sect forcibly left behind two weapons.
One is the one you have in your hand; the other is nowhere to be found.
After listening, Li Yunjing nodded and looked at Fang Tong: "Is this true?"
Fang Tong smiled and shook his head, "I don't think it's true, and True Person Li doesn't need to take it to heart."
This story has actually been passed down in the Luozhen Sect for a long time.
But whether it's our generation, or my master, or even my grandmaster's master,
For generations, no one has ever seen a second golden lock.
If it truly exists, how could this second golden lock be hidden so well?
Furthermore, although the Luozhen Sect was once powerful, with Spirit Transformation cultivators presiding over it.
How could Spirit Transformation cultivator possibly craft a treasure capable of bringing someone back from the dead?
In my opinion, this is probably a story fabricated by some patriarch to exaggerate the power of this golden lock.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing fell into deep thought.
He couldn't possibly be mistaken.
The gold lock in his hand was exactly the same as the one that Nangong Chengyu always played with.
Li Yunjing didn't believe that the two identical gold locks were unrelated.
In addition to the story told by Hong Xiuyuan,
Li Yunjing became even more suspicious.
At this moment, Li Yunjing thought of something else.
He remembered that on his deathbed, Nangong Chengyu had specifically instructed Li Yunjing on one thing.
After his death, all his personal belongings were placed in his coffin and buried with him.
The golden lock was the same, of course.
If that golden lock is real
Nangong Chengyu might know the purpose of the golden lock.
Doesn't this mean that Nangong Chengyu will use the golden lock to bind his life?
In other words, is Nangong Chengyu still alive in the tomb?
This is also why Li Yunjing was so excited just now.
But this was ultimately just speculation, and Li Yunjing couldn't determine whether it was true.
If Li Yunjing's thoughts are true,
Why didn't Nangong Chengyu tell Li Yunjing?
Why did he fake his death? Did he sense danger?
Too many mysteries left Li Yunjing unable to understand.
But whether his master faked his death or not, they could find out by opening the coffin and examining the body.
As long as there is even a sliver of life left
It's impossible not to notice.
However, Li Yunjing was conflicted because he wondered if this was just wishful thinking on his part.
Opening the coffin for an autopsy would be against human ethics; it would be a great disrespect to one's master.
If word gets out, Li Yunjing's reputation will be...
Just then, Fang Tong spoke:
"Has True Person Li seen a second golden lock?"
Coming to his senses, Li Yunjing said:
I've never seen it before, I'm just curious.
Seeing this, Fang Tong stopped asking questions.
After learning about the changes in the Wushan Luozhen Sect,
Fang Tong couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
This beautiful place has been ruined by the Red Saber Sect.
Wushan Luozhen Sect, Fang Tong lacked the power to do so.
Li Yunjing then brought up that suggestion again.
The people of the Wushan Luozhen Sect were to leave Black Mountain and go to the Qingyou Luozhen Sect.
The two families are from the same school, so it's time for them to merge into one.
Fang Tong decided to see what others thought.
Hong Xiuyuan immediately agreed wholeheartedly.
Afterwards, Fang Tong asked the other elders and disciples.
No one objected.
Anyway, this place has been completely destroyed by the Red Saber Sect.
It was almost completely different from what they remembered.
There's no need to stay in this place of sorrow any longer.
Everyone agreed to go to the Qingyou Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing was very pleased that the strength of the Luozhen Sect had increased further.
Afterwards, Fang Tong instructed the others to take everything they could from the area, leaving nothing for anyone else.
Then we had to return to Flying Dragon Stronghold to retrieve the remaining items.
The group had just Luozhen Sect,
But they found several people waiting outside.
Upon closer inspection, Li Yunjing realized that all three were Golden Core cultivators.
Li Yunjing stepped forward, raised an eyebrow, and asked:
"What brings you fellow Daoists here? Could it be that you wish to stand up for the Red Saber Sect?"
One of the old men with a white beard smiled.
"True Person Li, you misunderstand. We have come merely to invite True Person Li to our home."
"Absolutely, absolutely. The Red Saber Sect brought this upon themselves; they are not worth regretting."
"Non-Self weren't in a position to interfere, we would have already taught the Red Saber Sect a lesson."
Another Golden Core cultivator joined in with a laugh.
"Visiting? No thanks, I have other things to do." Li Yunjing shook his head and refused directly.
The white-bearded old man wasn't annoyed and laughed:
"Very well, we were presumptuous. However, if True Person Li is so inclined, he is welcome to come and visit at any time. We will certainly welcome him with open arms."
