Chapter 63

The owner of the cave does not have the surname Jiang!

Ha, ha, hahaha! Bring me the recommendation tickets!

These jade tablets had no inscriptions, only countless flowing clouds and stars rapidly flickering. Each cloud pattern and each flash contained boundless great truths. Yin Xuege stared at these jade tablets for a long time, as if he suddenly understood many things, yet it seemed he understood nothing at all!

The Ling of Yuhua Realm coughed heavily, glanced at the Heavenly Theft Talisman in Yin Xuege's hand, and said in a soft voice, "Don't look anymore, little Daoist friend. It's useless! With your cultivation, you can't even touch the threshold of the treasure talisman, let alone comprehend it."

He waved his wooden staff and pointed at the Heavenly Theft Talisman, saying, "Is this the theft talisman from the Su Xia Xue Gong? That group of self-proclaimed elegant bandits was wiped out, yet they left these things to harm the world? Little Daoist friend, you prepared this theft talisman, so I guess your way into the Yuhua Hall wasn't very proper, right?"

"Rubbish!" Yin Xuege glared at the Yuhua Realm Ling, grabbed the Heavenly Theft Talisman, and pressed it onto the jade tablet.

For a moment, countless voices recited scriptures in the void. The clear and melodious recitation sounded like the wind and rain, like the rising and setting of the sun, like the waxing and waning of the moon, like the changing of the seasons, filled with profound and indescribable charm.

"Indeed, it is a theft talisman!" The Yuhua Realm Ling watched curiously as the Heavenly Theft Talisman turned into a green-black mist, tightly enveloping the jade tablet. Countless profound and magnificent spiritual lights shot out from the green-black mist, casting bizarre and varied shadows on the walls of the hall.

"Even a top-grade Golden Immortal made this theft talisman!" The Yuhua Realm Ling stood on the altar, staring at the violently swirling green-black mist with wide eyes: "Otherwise, it would be impossible to replicate the Golden Immortal's Dao fruit! These days, a ten-year-old child can be so well-prepared for thievery?"

"Stealing books doesn't count as stealing!" Yin Xuege glared at the Yuhua Realm Ling again, using the words of Yin Tianjue to respond to the old man's doubts.

The Yuhua Realm Ling rolled his eyes and forcefully pulled the tuft of red hair on his forehead. He muttered to himself, "Alright, he is the first living person to step into the Yuhua Realm in many years! Although saying that stealing books doesn't count as stealing is rather shameless, but according to the old master's instructions, what can I, a mere realm spirit, say?"

He stomped his foot hard and sighed to the sky, "At worst, I met a bad person, a murderer and arsonist. I can only help him with knives and torches! This is fate, can a realm spirit choose their own destiny?"

Yin Xuege had been closely watching the Yuhua Realm Ling's every move. When the Yuhua Realm Ling suddenly knelt on the altar after sighing to the sky, Yin Xuege was startled. He quickly jumped back a few steps, pointed his right hand in a sword gesture at the Blood Spirit Sword, and sternly shouted, "What do you want to do?"

"Little old me, the Yuhua Realm Ling, pays homage to the new master!" The Yuhua Realm Ling looked at Yin Xuege with pitifully wide eyes: "There's no choice, this is fate! Little Daoist friend, according to the old master's will, you will be the new master of the Yuhua Small Realm from now on!"

Yin Xuege was flustered by the Yuhua Realm Ling's sudden move. This strange old man just recognized him as the master? Was he really recognizing him as the master, or was he hiding some sinister intentions to harm Yin Xuege? According to the principles of conduct taught in the Zizi Hall, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world!

Just because he was the first person to step into the Yuhua Small Realm in many years, this old man recognized him as the master? Is there really such a cheap deal in the world?

Yin Xuege, with the inherent suspicion of a blood demon, refused to believe the Yuhua Realm Ling's recognition.

The Yuhua Realm Ling, on the other hand, jumped around, spitting out saliva and swearing oaths, trying to gain Yin Xuege's trust.

The two of them chattered for a full half hour. By the time the Heavenly Theft Talisman emitted a dazzling golden light and transformed into nine faint shadows that floated back into Yin Xuege's palm, they still hadn't achieved even the most basic trust.

Looking at Yin Xuege with a worried expression, the Yuhua Realm Ling shook his head helplessly.

"Master, little old me offers a strand of my divided spirit, but you fear I am an incarnation of a demon and dare not refine it!"

"Little old me offers my own life plate, but you fear it is a cursed weapon and dare not touch it at all."

"Letting you drop a drop of your essence blood on little old me's forehead would allow you to easily control my life and death, but you still fear some evil curse and dare not try."

"Little old me swears oaths, and all kinds of vicious and cruel deaths have been mentioned, but you still don't believe my oaths! This, this, this, tell me, little old me is a realm spirit of a small blessed land, selling my life to you, why is it still so difficult?"

The aggrieved Yuhua Realm Ling couldn't understand why Yin Xuege was so suspicious. He really didn't know what was in Yin Xuege's mind. Looking like a child of only ten or so years old, how could he be so suspicious, so cautious, and so full of devious thoughts?

Yin Xuege played with a blood thunderbolt, refusing to follow the methods suggested by the Yuhua Realm Ling.

The Zizi Hall's executives had repeatedly emphasized that there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world!

The "Heavenly Dao Demon Heart" also told Yin Xuege how cruel the cultivation world is, where one misstep could lead to the destruction of one's soul. Therefore, one must be extremely cautious and careful! Even if the Yuhua Realm Ling offered to submit, Yin Xuege felt it was better not to take this cheap deal.

After the Heavenly Theft Talisman completed the replication of the treasure talisman, Yin Xuege no longer mentioned the topic of "recognition." Instead, he pointed to the nine large furnaces inside the Yuhua Hall. He had only just noticed that below each furnace was a fire hole about the size of a bowl, from which a purple flame spewed, burning the furnaces red-hot and emitting terrifying heat.

The Yuhua Hall was extremely hot, all due to these fire holes burning the furnaces.

Looking at these large furnaces, each carved with countless mysterious patterns, Yin Xuege asked curiously, "What's inside these large furnaces?"

The Yuhua Realm Ling immediately perked up and hurriedly replied, "Master, inside these furnaces are the most famous treasures that the old master researched and developed, the 'Floating Light Star Boats.' There are nine star boats being refined in these furnaces, capable of traversing the nine heavens, entering the azure sky, and touring the star rivers. In the past, the old master relied on selling the Floating Light Star Boats to earn the enormous resources needed to open the Yuhua Small Realm!"

Floating Light Star Boats, capable of traversing the nine heavens, entering the azure sky, and touring the star rivers?

Yin Xuege looked at the furnaces thoughtfully, always feeling that the Jiang family's rush to the Yuhua Small Realm must have something to do with these star boats.

After pondering for a long time, Yin Xuege suddenly thought of the most important question: "By the way, Yuhua Realm Ling, what was your old master's surname?"

The Yuhua Realm Ling blinked his eyes and hurriedly said, "The old master's Daoist name is 'Qian Ji Zi,' a famous alchemy master among the scattered immortals. As for his noble surname, please forgive me, but his noble surname is 'Fang.'"

"He is surnamed Fang? Not Jiang?" Yin Xuege looked at the Yuhua Realm Ling in surprise.

"Heaven above, earth below, since the Yuhua Small Realm was opened, there has only been one master, the old master. He is surnamed Fang, how could little old me make such a mistake?" The Yuhua Realm Ling raised his hands and hastily swore a series of vicious oaths.

"This is indeed very interesting!" Yin Xuege smiled at the Yuhua Realm Ling and looked thoughtfully towards the door of the hall.

"Then, tell me, how did I get here?"
