Chapter 19

The old man in black seemed to sense that the atmosphere around him was off, and with a forced smile, he quickly hid the jade bottle.

As the sleeves fluttered, the five-colored treasures shimmered like a long river, the light attempting to pierce through the clouds. However, the black light curtain was truly extraordinary. Despite the various colors of light being extremely dazzling and powerful, once they touched the black light curtain, they were all neutralized and absorbed.

Jun Wuming's eyes lit up; this Elder Qi was indeed wealthy, far surpassing the other elders in the bandit camp. Even among the Grand Elders, he was one of the wealthiest.

This time, the five-colored treasures that shot out were still five high-grade treasures.

In the red light was a small, fire-red bell. Surrounded by red mist, it pierced through the cloud sea, indicating its considerable power, a fire attribute treasure.

In the green light was a small, green sword. Green light swirled with life force, and mysterious green runes like vines wrapped around the sword. Threads of growth power hung from the light, clearly a wood attribute sword.

In the black light was a small black banner. The banner surface shimmered with black water light, and upon careful listening, the sound of the sea could be heard.

In the golden light was a long-handled war hammer, now transformed into a golden light dancing wildly among the clouds. Wherever the golden light went, the clouds dissipated, its form quite terrifying.

In the earth-yellow light was a large brown egg, lying quietly among the clouds. The brown egg emitted a fan-shaped yellow light, the life force forming a yellow canopy, quite extraordinary.

Seeing this egg, Jun Wuming's abdomen stirred, and a small black snake raised its head, flicking its tongue, its blood-red eyes alertly staring at the brown egg emitting earth-yellow light. Jun Wuming's face twitched, his peripheral vision catching the tense little black snake. He couldn't help but laugh, this little guy seemed to have a strong sense of danger. He gently stroked the black snake's head, calming its agitated spirit.

Releasing his mental energy, he sensed several times and then lightly summoned the small banner in the black water light.

The black banner's flagpole was made of dark ancient wood, simple and unadorned. When held, it seemed weightless.

The edges of the black banner had deep grooves, and upon closer inspection, they were divine patterns floating in the grooves, emitting a piercing aura.

The black banner surface seemed like endless waves roaring. When he raised his hand to touch it, the banner, with its high spirit, instantly fled, transforming into a dark spiritual light and disappearing among the clouds.

Jun Wuming was slightly surprised and looked up, only to see the old man in black making hand seals. His expression changed, and he asked, "What are the wonders of this treasure?"

The old man in black's sleeves fluttered, and a black rainbow shot out, returning to Jun Wuming's hand: "This treasure is called the Black Water King Banner. It was obtained from the last Qinghe Divine Palace. There were originally nine banners, a set of supreme treasures. Unfortunately, when the Qinghe Divine Palace's restrictions were fully activated, the treasures flew everywhere, and I only managed to get one."

At this point, the old man in black shook his head, quite regretful: "This item has some wonders. It is a water attribute treasure, capable of controlling the water of heaven and earth. When waved, it can transform into an ocean, and when flying, it can hide without a trace. In water, it is especially fast, transforming into water and moving, a supreme water treasure. If all nine banners could be gathered, they could form the Black Water King Array, capable of trapping and killing great powers in an instant."

Gripping the black banner lightly, Jun Wuming pondered and said, "Then let's exchange for this." He waved his sleeve, sending a black ice straight toward the old man in black.

Qi Zhengheng laughed, a wave of energy forming a barrier that quickly enveloped the black nether pearl, gathering the five-colored treasures among the clouds, and transforming into a black light that disappeared in a blink, truly astonishing in speed.

Seeing Qi Zhengheng flee, the three powerful auras in the clouds paused, clearly not expecting this cunning old man in black.

A silver bell-like laugh echoed in the sky: "Hehe, Third Brother, your disciple's escape technique is truly astonishing, truly hiding great depth."

The old man in black with white eyebrows lightly stroked his not deep gray beard, seemingly unaware. He smiled faintly: "Fourth Sister, my disciple has always been like this, decisive and not bound by formalities. You all know this. This time, he must be eager to enter seclusion to refine the nether pearl. After he emerges, our camp will surely add another powerful figure, which is a cause for celebration."

Hearing this, the female power in the green light suddenly dispelled her protective light, transforming into a tall, graceful woman in a green, intricate dress.

She had arched eyebrows, large eyes, and a well-proportioned, full figure, like a ripe peach that anyone would want to bite.

However, the most captivating thing about her was not her face or her figure, but her mature charm. Her bosom and hips swayed, her curves were exquisite, her gentle eyes were intoxicating, and her soft, alluring manner seemed to make one lose their soul and relax their entire body, ready to undress and consummate the affair.

At this moment, she was looking at Jun Wuming with watery eyes and said softly: "Alright, we've watched Qi grow up and become an elder. We wouldn't bully the young. Although the Earth Essence Pill is precious, it's not worth such despicable means to steal it."

Listening to the soft explanation of the beautiful woman beside him, her phoenix eyes glancing around, her eyebrows like a new moon, her words soft and her breath like orchids, Jun Wuming's heart stirred, and he secretly cursed. The innate yang energy in his body, which had just stabilized, seemed to stir again, red yang energy surging and churning.

In a state of shock, he calmed his mind, suppressing his lustful thoughts, and mobilized the divine water power flowing in his meridians to slowly refine the red innate yang energy seeping out of his dantian. He couldn't let this red yang energy leak out, or he would lose face.

Seemingly noticing Jun Wuming's discomfort, the alluring beauty's eyes twinkled, and she looked at Jun Wuming with her watery eyes and smiled: "Little boy, you seem to be blushing."

Little boy, Jun Wuming felt frustrated. He had been through three lifetimes and was nearly two hundred years old, but compared to these immortals who were over three hundred years old, he was indeed a little boy.

Seeing Jun Wuming's embarrassment, the old man in black with white eyebrows came to his rescue: "Foolish boy, why don't you greet Venerable Yuyan. Venerable Yuyan is a great master of water cultivation, capable of controlling water and waves, a supreme expert in this field."

Jun Wuming took this opportunity to instantly move away, maintaining a distance to avoid being tempted by the alluring beauty's charm, and bowed respectfully: "This junior, Jun Wuming, greets Venerable Yuyan!"

Seeing Jun Wuming avoid her like a snake, the green-clad Venerable Yuyan in the clouds was puzzled. Although she was over three hundred years old, she had the skill to maintain her youthful appearance.

Since her water cultivation had reached a certain level, her skin was like jade, her face radiant, and her charm had increased even more. Even immortals with stable minds would be momentarily distracted upon seeing her.

After a moment of thought, she decided to take action. She waved the white jade ribbon in her hand, infusing it with powerful water attribute power, and silently wrapped it around the black-clothed youth, pulling him to her side. She leaned close to the black-clothed youth, who was trying to resist the white jade light, and said: "Little boy, why don't you dare to come close to this venerable? Am I a ferocious beast that eats people?"

Her graceful figure swayed, her bosom rippled, her curves were exquisite, and a hint of white on her chest was visible to the black-clothed youth, stirring his heart.

Thump, thump, thump, Jun Wuming could hear his blood boiling, layers of red fire rising from his dantian, ready to burst out and connect with the yin energy. However, the divine water power was extraordinary, and as the yang fire surged, the dark, cool divine water power instantly formed a cold water net, trapping the red yang fire.

Jun Wuming no longer resisted; the white jade ribbon was extremely difficult to deal with. The more he struggled, the more uncomfortable he became, and it subtly restrained the divine water power in his body, making it harder to circulate. Unless he used his water element power, it would be hard to escape the white jade ribbon.

Seeing the alluring beauty suddenly approach, Jun Wuming secretly cursed, his mind wavering. The red innate yang energy could no longer be contained, transforming into a red dragon, rising through his meridians, the heavenly gates, and straight to the divine gate.

Jun Wuming's face suddenly turned rosy, as if he was trying to hold back, with red mist appearing on his face.

The old man in black with white eyebrows, seeing Venerable Yuyan use the white jade ribbon, frowned slightly, puzzled.

However, knowing Venerable Yuyan, he didn't think she would harm Jun Wuming, just tease him.

Suddenly, he saw Jun Wuming's face turn red in the white jade light, his heart stirred, and a black and white light flashed across his brow, his spiritual light scanning.

He saw the black-clothed youth's abdomen, where red sources in the dantian sea were boiling, like a gushing spring, continuously spewing red innate yang energy, rushing to the heavenly gate.

At this moment, the black-clothed youth was tightly holding his breath, sealing the divine gate to prevent the red innate yang energy from leaking out.

Looking more closely, he saw that the alluring Venerable Yuyan's body was also emitting a tide of yin energy, but it was restrained by her powerful aura, not leaking out.

Frowning slightly, the old man in black with white eyebrows was about to speak, but then his expression changed, his eyes twinkling, and he laughed lewdly, pulling the other powerful figure with golden light, transforming into black and white spiritual light and quickly disappearing.

Seeing the two auras quickly disappear, Venerable Yuyan was slightly stunned, her face puzzled, not understanding.

Turning back, she saw the black-clothed youth's face turn red, and she was stunned again. Her lips parted, about to ask, but then the black-clothed youth, wrapped in the white jade light, let out a muffled groan, spitting out a red breath. The red breath reached her face in an instant.

"Ah."

A soft exclamation, before she could react, the red breath hit her alluring face, and a strange feeling quickly surged in her heart.
