The Three Treasures

Ying Qi remained silent for a moment, his gaze piercing through the Great Void to fall on the thin layer of morning mist on the surface of Cibi Lake. He seemed to be carefully choosing his words before finally speaking in a low voice:

"I've heard that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Spirit Witch Dao Lord was powerless to multiply his powers, and Wu Nuo's lifespan was nearing its end. He had no choice but to seek gold amidst the inauspicious heavens and earth. Although he condensed the Golden Nature element, he ultimately failed to attain the Fruition Position, and thus perished." He paused slightly, his fingertips gently curling within his sleeve. "At that time, the Netherworld was in chaos, and he was powerless to come out and subdue the Golden Nature element. It was his last shred of consciousness that controlled the Fu Water Dragon mount, sacrificing himself to suppress the evil Golden Nature."

He withdrew his gaze, turned to Zilin, and continued with a more certain tone:

"We received news from the Witch Hall that they found a way in the Netherworld and confirmed that the Witch Talisman Metal Nature left behind by Wu Nuo had already subsided."

He paused, then said:

"The most precious thing in this secret realm is naturally that Golden Nature. Secondly, there's the 'Spiritual Spirit Witch Dao Lord Spirit Witch Summoning and Response Chapter,' bestowed upon Wu Nuo by the Spiritual Witch Daoist Lord so she could use it to establish her sect."

Upon hearing this, Zilin nodded slightly, her gaze still piercing through the Great Void, landing on the reeds in the distance on the lake in the present world.

She hesitated for a moment before replying slowly:

"Besides these two items, there's also a dragon essence left behind by the Five Laws Flood Dragon after its death."

She turned her head to look at Ying Qi, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"It is said that the Dragon King of the South Sea has always wanted to give birth to a purebred Fu Water dragon, but Fu Water dragons and other dragons are rare to begin with. As for the Golden Nature of Fu Water, the Dragon Palace of the South Sea has a very poor relationship with Yuanfu and Chenfu Palace of Yunmeng Marsh, so it dares not ask for one. Therefore, the Dragon Palace of the South Sea has cultivated many Fu Water dragons over the years, but it has never been satisfactory. The highest cultivation level is only that of Ao Xiao, the Lake God of Cibi Lake."

When she mentioned "Ao Xiao," the corners of her lips curved almost imperceptibly, carrying a hint of sarcasm. "Even with thousands of years of dedicated cultivation, he's only at the Purple Mansion Middle Stage. Seeing that his lifespan is nearing its end, that's why I sent him to Cibi Lake to plot the opening of the Purple-Blue Secret Realm, hoping to retrieve that Jiao Yuan (dragon essence) and combine it with the Bright Yang spiritual artifact to refine pills, hoping to give birth to a pure-blooded Fu Water dragon."

Then, she withdrew her gaze, put her hands behind her back, and her tone returned to its usual cool indifference:

"Although these three items are precious, they have already been given to different owners and are beyond our reach. The Witch Talisman Metal Nature is what the Witch Hall is willing to investigate for; the ' Spirit Witch Summoning and Response Chapter ' is what the Nanzhao Royal Family is willing to give up for those two Spirit Treasure treasures; and the dragon essence is what the Dragon Palace of the South Sea needs, which is why they are willing to watch Su Yao capture Ao Xiao to open the secret realm."

She glanced sideways at Ying Qi again:

"As for us, our busy work here... is at the behest of the adults, to take away the many spiritual objects and Spirit Treasure of the Witch Talisman path within the secret realm, as well as the secret realm itself."

After listening, Ying Qi slowly nodded:

"Originally, we didn't need to participate; those other families could have taken it all. But since we've come, we have no choice but to share. This will require some effort from us. We'll divide the spiritual objects and Spirit Treasure within the secret realm among ourselves. Fellow Su Yao won't take anything, only the Purple-Blue Secret Realm. I've heard it's for the envoy under the True Lord of Qixia Temple to break through to the Five Laws Perfection stage, and to channel the remaining spiritual energy of the secret realm into the Water Palace Secret Realm." He paused, "Then the position of Lake God must also be given to Qixia Temple..."

Zilin interrupted him:

"It's all just a plan; we'll see how it goes if it succeeds."

She paused, her gaze slightly lowered, as if she were mentally reviewing everything again, before saying:

"For this matter, several families pooled together three portions of Pure Qi spiritual materials to refine a pool of water. It's estimated that within three months at most, the two young men from the Lu Household will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection. They also gathered several True and Purple Qi spiritual materials to refine pills, allowing the two to quickly master a Secret Method to break through to the Purple Mansion. They also used a piece of Flourishing Wood spiritual material to refine a batch of pills, enabling the two to rapidly advance their Immortal Foundation to the Rising Yang within a month. Once they begin to Spirit Transformation, they will use their backup plan to cause the two to perish one after the other." She paused, "Finally, they made Ao Xiao commit suicide, thereby triggering the opening of the Purple-Blue Secret Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Qi said softly, "I heard that Ao Xiao was initially Qi Ingestion after being captured, and tried to escape every day..." He shook his head, "In the end, it was only after Fellow Su Yao sent someone to the East Sea to borrow a golden hoop from the Biyou Sect that he was finally restrained and obedient."

Upon hearing this, Zilin shook her head, her lips slightly parted, about to speak...

Just then, a silent surge of Fu Water energy rose from the depths of the lake, like an undercurrent quietly spreading outwards.

The two became alert at the same time and looked in the direction of the aura. They saw Yang Nan's figure slowly emerge from the water mist. The aura of the Fu Water around him had not yet dissipated, indicating that he had just come from the water mansion.

As soon as Yang Nan appeared, she bowed deeply to the two of them, her waist bent even more than usual.

"Fellow Daoists, Ao Xiao has already sent those two lads from the Lu Household to..."

He paused, a hint of awkwardness flashing across his face, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, before continuing:

"They were sent into the Qi Descending Pool, and in no time, their injuries were completely healed, and their cultivation levels were visibly rising. Judging by this momentum, those two lads will be able to Foundation Establishment Perfection in just two months."

After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and remained silent, his hands hanging at his sides.

Previously, he relied on his own Purple Mansion to claim that his cooperation with Su Yao was merely that of equals.

Over the years, he has watched Zilin and others cultivate at an astonishing speed, making rapid progress. Not to mention Su Yao Su Yao, after breaking through to the Purple Mansion, apart from the first two years of seclusion to heal his injuries, he has been advancing one level per year. Eight years ago, he had already perfected one Divine Ability and began to seek a second Divine Ability. He has now been in seclusion for six years.

It's worth noting that six years ago, Su Yao had only been at the Purple Mansion level for forty years.

The True Person Zilin, had only broken through to the Purple Mansion in twenty-five years, yet his cultivation had already caught up with his.

But Yang Nan had already broken through to the Purple Mansion over two hundred years ago.

Moreover, these people are always dealing with precious spiritual items, and they often possess several Spirit Artifact and Spirit Treasure. One of them is equivalent to the life savings of an ordinary person in the Purple Mansion realm.

He had long since lost all his ambition and was only secretly glad that he had once curried favor with Qixia Temple. A few years ago, he went to the East Sea to borrow treasures for Su Yao. When he passed through the Qixia Mountain area, he saw the sacred mountain that Su Yao had promised back then, which was more than ten times better than his current residence in Nanzhao.

Seeing that he was silent with his head down, Zilin didn't ask any further questions. She simply looked at his face and spoke in a calm tone:

"Senior Yang... those two young men from the Lu Household shouldn't have noticed the three of you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Nan quickly raised her head, shook her head, and spoke with a hint of eagerness to prove herself:

"No, no. Putting aside the fact that those two lads are only at the Foundation Establishment, Fellow Ni Polu has been using a Subterranean Water Spirit Treasure to conceal the three of us, and our aura has not leaked out at all."
