"No one has ever been this nice to me in my life! I can't handle alcohol, and I can't handle other people being nice to me!"
After the old man sobered up, he felt a little sad when he thought about the treasures he gave away last night, but now he was moved to tears. Those worthless treasures were nothing!
"Little brother, this is for you. It's the hidden treasure we opened when we met the immortal yesterday. It's the Feather of Divine Invisibility. If you're in danger, just take it out from your storage ring and flick it. Even a immortal might not be able to find you. I'm not good at fighting, but when it comes to hiding and escaping, I'm unbeatable!"
Yuanxiao was stunned, feeling that he had missed a mountain of gold and silver last night.
If I had treated the old man well last night while he was drunk, would he have spread his treasures all over the room?!
"Let's go!" The old man didn't hesitate at all. He used his storage ring to collect the items given to him by the family one by one and left without looking back.
"Brother, wait for me to find you in Donghaizhou!" After hearing this, the old man Zhaiyue did not look back, but just raised his hand and shook it, indicating that he understood. What a cool farewell scene!
Yuanxiao did have some respect for this old man. Although he was a bit of a braggart and a boaster, and although he was a thief, he was also a true, righteous, and law-abiding thief.
"Lantern Festival!"
Suddenly, a clear shout from the gate interrupted Yuanxiao's thoughts.
Turning around, he saw that it was indeed Xiaoying, standing outside the fence, waving at him playfully. Yuanxiao hurried over. Yuanxiao's father and mother smiled at each other and went back to the house to take care of other things.
"Sakura, where have you been these days? I haven't seen you."
"Dad and Mom took me to my aunt's house in the city, and we played there for a few more days. My aunt discussed with Dad and Mom that they saw a notice that Yunhai Sect would be recruiting outer disciples soon, and they wanted me to try it out. Yuanxiao, can you go with me?"
"I've been wanting to find someone to ask about getting started with cultivation. It would be even better if we could go together! But I still need to discuss this with my parents."
Xiaoying looked at Yuanxiao's face, suddenly laughed and said, "Why did you suddenly become so fair?" In fact, Xiaoying hadn't said anything else, and he became even more handsome.
"Can you always be so handsome and elegant?" Yuanxiao said pretentiously while stroking his hair.
"Shameless!" Sakura said this, but secretly took something out of her pocket and said, "Here!"
It turned out to be the crispy dates that Yuanxiao likes to eat.
Yuanxiao reached out to take the crispy dates, and murmured in a nonsensical manner, "Although the crispy dates are good, they are not as good as Sakura!"
Sakura thought of the things that happened when she was a child playing house, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. This Yuanxiao was really talking nonsense and had no shame at all!
Yuanxiao was about to continue teasing, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a murderous figure out of the corner of his eye. He immediately let go of his hands and took a step back, his face full of panic. Oh my God, it was Uncle Xu!
"Xiaoying, come back for dinner!" Uncle Xu shouted and turned away.
When Sakura heard her father's voice calling from behind, she finally understood why Yuanxiao suddenly panicked. This funny change made Sakura couldn't help laughing out loud.
"I'm going back. I'll come see you in a few days!"
Yuan Xiao was heartbroken. How could his luck be so bad? He had only said a few words, and Uncle Xu had caught him red-handed! What a sin!
In a small town like Xunxian, life wasn't easy for ordinary people. Most farmers, like Yuanxiao's family, struggled year-round, barely making ends meet. Occasionally, they'd hunt wild game in the mountains, earning only a small fortune to supplement their family income.
If children from ordinary families wanted to make a name for themselves, one possible opportunity lay in joining a sect of immortal cultivators and becoming a cultivator. If a family produced an outstanding cultivator who achieved success, it would be a case of one person's success bringing prosperity to the entire family.
If a family produces a foundation-building cultivator or a golden elixir cultivator, the entire family will prosper during the life cycle of this cultivator.
Yuanxiao mentally reviewed his situation. The treasure given by Old Man Zhaiyue had already provided him with excellent conditions for cultivating immortality.
First of all, the body has been cleansed through the Yijing and has a very pure physical condition.
Secondly, it has the Apocalypse Pearl, which comes with healing and repair skills.
Again, having a storage ring that does not require mana to open makes it convenient to carry and hide a large number of items.
Finally, he possesses the treasured Sky Hidden Feather, which allows him to hide and conceal himself, and form his own space, allowing him to effectively avoid powerful enemies.
The most urgent task is to study the magical effects of the Apocalypse Pearl and find out what they are.
The one with the most secrets is the Apocalypse Pearl. Before leaving, Brother Zhaiyue speculated that this pearl had the function of purifying and purification, and now is a good time to verify it.
Yuanxiao first placed the Apocalypse Pearl in the middle of the table, and then found the three pills that the doctor had given him before, placed one on the pearl, one one foot away, and one six feet away.
After a stick of incense, Yuanxiao was very excited by the result of the experiment. The old man Zhaiyue's speculation was correct.
The pill leaning against the Apocalypse Pearl has become a whole circle smaller, and a layer of black residue has appeared on the outside. With a gentle rub of the hand, the residue falls off, revealing the crystal clear pill inside. This small pill should be the essence after purification.
The pill placed one foot away had only a few traces of medicinal residue on it, clearly not yet fully purified, indicating that distance affected the speed of purification. The pill placed six feet away had barely any trace of medicinal residue on it, showing almost no change.
Yuan Xiao came to a conclusion: the Apocalypse Pearl could indeed purify the pills, but the closer the distance, the shorter the time required; the farther the distance, the longer the time required. Beyond a certain distance, it was almost ineffective.
Can such a heaven-defying treasure be used in a crowded place? No.
A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure. If outsiders knew about this treasure, Yuanxiao would definitely not be able to keep it with his current ability, and it would also bring him fatal disaster.
Apart from his own parents, who already knew he had the Apocalypse Pearl, he couldn't let anyone else know for the time being. Even those who cared about him couldn't know. It was actually the safest thing for him to not know.
How can I use the Apocalypse Pearl safely without being exposed?
Got it! Yuan Xiao suddenly thought of the storage ring given by Old Man Zhaiyue. He could put the Apocalypse Pearl and the pills he wanted to purify into the storage space and complete all the work in the storage space, so that they would not be exposed.
At the same time, the Apocalypse Pearl is usually stored in the storage space, which can also solve the problem of hiding the Apocalypse Pearl.
As soon as he thought of it, he put it into practice. Yuanxiao threw the Apocalypse Pearl and several pills into the storage ring and placed them in the same position in the storage space.
After a stick of incense, Yuanxiao's previous guess was confirmed. The storage space can still be purified, which makes him feel more at ease.
Even with this treasure, if you still can't compete with others, you might as well just find a piece of tofu and die.
Yuanxiao doesn't consider himself to be very smart, but he has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and he has suffered hardships and injuries. He has long developed a strong physique and resilience. Even without the Apocalypse Pearl, Yuanxiao does not think that he is worse than others.
My parents also support my decision. Since the child has a dream and has favorable conditions, there is no reason for the parents not to support him. If the child succeeds in cultivating immortals and has a bright future, he will not have to follow them in the future and suffer hardships.
Hey, on the road to immortality, here I come, Lantern Festival!
