Yellow Springs Water-Parting Saber

Hu Mang was certain that this place should still be in the East Sea.

However, the fact that the sea was visibly calm and the vast expanse of water at least indicates that this area is not within the thousand-mile radius of the Thirty-Six Islands of the Eastern Sea.

Because if the area is within a thousand miles, it will be affected by the Dragon Blood Tide.

Even so, the idea that opening a Yin-Yang Passage could traverse a distance of a thousand miles is still quite exaggerated.

However, considering the Ghost Subway Heavenly Gate, which can even traverse ancient and modern Ghost Domain.

Compared to those artificial Ghost Dragon Vein, this ghost ship is still far inferior.

"The good news is that my ghost Ghost Dragon Vein doesn't seem to need to follow a fixed route; it can go wherever it wants, while the Ghost Dragon Vein at Heavenly Gate seems to have a fixed route."

Could this be because one is a natural Ghost Dragon Vein and the other is an artificial Ghost Dragon Vein?

Hu Mang suddenly realized that he knew far too little about the "Underworld".

For example, the Ghost Dragon Vein has two Yin-Yang Node; only by combining the two can the Yin-Yang portal be opened.

If two can be opened, can one be opened? And can three be opened simultaneously?

These are all Yin-Yang knowledge points that he doesn't know and needs to understand.

"I am, after all, a consultant in the Underworld Bureau. It shouldn't be a problem for me to take the initiative to learn some Underworld knowledge about the underworld, right?"

"Furthermore, it's best to consult a professional about raising Ghost Dragon Vein."

When it comes to raising Private Dragon, no one can compare to the Liu Household's expertise.

His engagement with Liu Manqing hasn't been officially cancelled yet, has it?

As a son-in-law, taking the initiative to support the Liu Household's ancestral business when the Liu Household was in decline would be a very chivalrous act.

Hu Mang thought this was a pretty good idea.

After making his decision, Hu Mang smacked his lips and suddenly felt thirsty. Once this thirst came over him, he found it hard to suppress.

"These days, you can lack anything but energy. It's awful."

"I asked, what drinks are available on the ship?"

Hu Mang asked casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, a water ghost emerged from the cabin without making a sound, carrying a wine jar in his hand.

After being put down, it bowed respectfully to the Hu Mang. Its flesh and bones suddenly scattered and crashed onto the deck, where they were then digested.

Hu Mang picked up the wine jar and looked at the bottom. There was a small, square seal on it, engraved with "Jade Spring Famous Brew".

"Jade Spring Fine Brew, this thing seems to be a tribute wine from the Yu Dynasty."

Hu Mang muttered to himself. He had heard of this wine. It was said that it was originally called Yu Spring Famous Brew, which was brewed in a place called Yu Spring, where the water was particularly good. However, in order to avoid using the imperial surname, it was changed to Jade Spring Famous Brew. It seems that it was through this connection that it became the Yu Dynasty.

Hu Mang pried open the yellow clay seal on the mouth of the jar, lifted the lid, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

It lacked the rich aroma of grains or flowers and fruits; instead, it possessed a cool, refreshing scent, like a secluded mountain spring. The moment it entered his nostrils, it felt as if a cool stream flowed into his lungs, suppressing some of the heat surging within him from the battle.

He tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

The moment the liquor enters your mouth, it feels like a cool sensation seeping in from another world, sliding down your throat into your stomach, and then quickly spreading to every part of your body.

Wherever that coolness passed, the muscles and bones in his body that had become tired and sore from maintaining the Asura form for so long seemed to be gently massaged by an invisible hand, and relaxed considerably.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle heat rose from his Dantian, intertwining with the coolness to create a wonderful alternation of hot and cold, which invigorated his spirit.

"Wow, that's awesome!"

The Hu Mang smacked its lips.

"This thing actually has the effect of stabilizing the soul."

He himself remembered that he and Old Zhu had gone to great lengths to obtain the Nether Pearl, the kind that cost 10 million each, whose greatest value was in stabilizing the soul.

And now, this Yu Dynasty Chaoyin wine seems to have the same effect.

With the captain's authority, Hu Mang could "see" that there seemed to be quite a few similar drinks available.

After taking a few more sips of wine, Hu Mang's attention gradually returned, and he began to examine the three treasures on the deck.

This was a gift from the Ghost Dragon Vein upon its liberation; its value should be far greater than any large cargo at the bottom of the sea.

After all, Ghost Dragon Vein wouldn't bother collecting ordinary deep-sea treasures, since it is itself the biggest hidden treasure in the ocean.

The first thing Hu Mang picked up was the small knife in the middle.

The reason is simple: the Dragon Vein power emanating from this knife is far more concentrated than anything the Hu Mang has ever seen.

This even includes the two Ghost Dragon Vein he had seen: the Soul-Binding Willow and the Ghost Ship.

"A treasure from the Dragon Vein?"

The moment Hu Mang picked it up, he understood its significance.

The Dragon Vein Treasure is formed from the core of Dragon Vein; only one such top-tier treasure can be nurtured by a single Dragon Vein!

"Xiao Zhu once casually mentioned that the Yu Household was able to control the Thirty-Six Islands of the Eastern Sea and command so many powerful demons, including Nascent Soul demons, to submit to them."

"This thing is definitely not a modern Law Treasure developed by the New Heavenly Gate; the timeline doesn't match. If it's an ancient artifact, its power doesn't match."

"Then the most likely explanation is that the Yu Household possesses a treasure from a Dragon Vein!"

The Hu Mang carefully examined the shape of the Dragon Vein treasure sword, or rather, the small sword.

This knife is only the length of a palm, shaped like a crescent moon dagger. The blade seems to be made from the ribs of a Nether Dragon, its translucent surface shimmering with a layer of eerie, watery light. Solidified Yellow Springs Weak Water flows along the inner wall of the blade. A creeping, coiled Nether Dragon is engraved on the spine of the blade, its patterns following the curve of the blade. The blade is perpetually shrouded in cold, Black Water mist, which turns into a small puddle of yin water that never dries up when it touches the ground.

"The Yellow Springs Water-Parting Saber."

As the Hu Mang opened its Tribulation Eye, a line of dragon patterns that only it could decipher appeared.

In an instant, Hu Mang understood the significance of this Dragon Vein treasure.

In areas rich in Yin Qi, one can create Yin River, starting with the lowest level and progressing to the Yin River Nether River. If there is truly an unlimited supply of Yin Qi, it could even create the Yellow Springs!

That's right, it's the Yellow Springs of the Underworld!

The most famous section of the Yellow Springs River is the infamous River of Forgetfulness.

The Yellow Springs Ferry Crossing, the Bridge of Helplessness, the River of Forgetfulness, the Three Lives Stone... all of these are related to it.

Even more famous places like the Ten Halls of Yama, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the City of the Wrongfully Dead, the Blood Pool, the Reincarnation Platform, and Yin Mountains all exist because of this waterway corridor in the underworld.

If the ghost Ghost Dragon Vein that runs through the entire Underworld exists, it must be a water dragon Dragon Vein!

Or rather, the Yellow Springs Dragon Vein!

"That's really an exaggeration."

The Hu Mang muttered to itself.

Yu Household can control the East Sea Immortal Island; the effects of this Dragon Vein treasure are truly monstrous!

"Eighth Master previously said that after learning about the effects of the 'Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram,' the people of the Dragon-Slaying Department went crazy trying to get their hands on it."

"If the people of the Underworld Bureau knew the effects of this 'Yellow Springs Water-Parting Saber' now, they'd probably go crazy."

Of course, the good news is that he has connections in the Underworld Bureau, from Eighth Master Hui to the Ghost Lord— a whole line of relationships.

If we were to categorize people into factions, he, a descendant of one of the Five Great Households, would be a quintessential member of the Ghost Lord's private faction.

So if the Underworld Bureau finds out, he probably won't be dissected and studied; he might even get a promotion.

From an ordinary Underworld Bureau advisor to the Eighth Master, he rose to become the master of a palace.

After all, if even a rat spirit like Eighth Master Hui from the Yu Dynasty could rise to power, there's no reason why someone as gifted as him, who possesses both Dragon Vein treasure and the ability to control Ghost Dragon Vein, wouldn't be able to reach a higher level.

To put it more dramatically, if the Ghost Lord were to groom a successor, he would probably be a candidate, and a top candidate at that.

However, if that's the case, unless there are special circumstances, such as when Lord Mao, who was still the Demon Slayer Marshal, went out to sea to slay demons, he probably will never be able to go overseas in his lifetime.

The Ten Lords are the pillars of the Heavenly Gate. Each of them represents immense power, connections, and even a certain direction for the development of Heavenly Gate cultivation.

What kind of behavior is this, running around everywhere like this?

Hu Mang took a deep breath and put the "Ghost Lord's Adopted Son's Blade" into his Storage Bag.

Unless he really wants to become an official, this thing will remain hidden from the public eye for quite some time.

Hu Mang quickly turned his attention to the second treasure, which was an unremarkable black bead.

However, as soon as the Hu Mang touched it, the flow of Qi and Blood in its body suddenly stopped, almost freezing it.

This effect is much stronger than the yin wine we just drank.

"A thousand-year-old Yin Pearl?"

The Yin Pearl itself is not rare, and its quality is even inferior to the Nether Pearl in his hand.

However, the purity and richness of the Yin Qi contained in this bead make it the number one among all the large items that Hu Mang acquired.

Moreover, as the owner of the ghost ship, he also indirectly inherited some of the Ghost Dragon's memories. When he picked up this bead, he knew that this thing was definitely a thousand years old.

It can even be traced back to the Yu Dynasty, when there were only eighteen islands, not the thirty-six overseas islands, which are now the inner islands.

Moreover, the meanings of "millennium" and "millennium" are not the same.

Generally speaking, the so-called thousand-year-old spirit medicine, thousand-year-old materials, and even thousand-year-old demons inside the Heavenly Gate are classified based on the low Spiritual Qi environment of the ancient Heavenly Gate as an external factor.

Therefore, the medicinal herbs artificially cultivated inside Heavenly Gate that are often said to have the medicinal properties of a thousand years cannot be entirely dismissed as false.

Because it compares the high- Spiritual Qi environment in which it was cultivated with the low- Spiritual Qi environment in ancient times, multiplying the Spiritual Qi energy concentration by time, and then using a very simple multiplication to calculate the result.

However, the seabed is not a low- Spiritual Qi environment; it's a proper high- Spiritual Qi area.

Furthermore, it was nurtured within the Ghost Dragon Vein, making its Yin Qi as pure as it could possibly be.

"So according to the Heavenly Gate's standards, this thing, which appears to be a thousand years old, should actually be called the Ten-Thousand-Year Yin Pearl?"

"If the Old Third knew I had this, he'd kneel down and call me 'Dad.'"

The Hu Mang muttered to itself, then solemnly placed it in a high-grade medicine storage box and put it away.

This thing is valuable, but like the "Yellow Springs Water-Parting Saber" from before, we haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

Using materials of this caliber to absorb Yin Qi for the Old Third would be a real waste!
