A friend came from afar, and we drank to our hearts' content!

Before Yin Xuege could clearly see the other items in the Qilin Arm, a powerful ancient and chaotic demonic aura suddenly spread from his body. A beam of blood light spurted from his chest, forming a light curtain that floated in front of him.

Yin Tianjue's figure appeared in the light curtain, and he urgently shouted, "Xuege, quickly complete the task I assigned you, then leave the core area of this small world and wait somewhere for us to meet up. The chaos of the great array has ended, and we have about a quarter of an hour left to break through the restrictions along the way and enter the core of the world."

As Yin Tianjue's voice echoed, a sharp whistling sound came, and a black jade flute spurted out from the beam of blood light. However, a sinister and evil light flickered on the surface of the jade flute, transforming it into a three-foot-long hollow beast bone with nine peculiar holes.

"Ninefold Lustrous Bone?" The Yuhua World Spirit exclaimed loudly, "No wonder you, Master, could bypass the restrictions along the way and directly enter the Yuhua Hall! The Ninefold Lustrous Bone is a demonic artifact that can only be created by legendary great demon masters. It can directly penetrate the core of most restrictions and arrays, and when used to kill, it directly destroys the enemy's spirit, making it the most terrifying of all."

Yin Xuege stared at the Ninefold Lustrous Bone, recalling how Yin Tianjue casually played with the black jade flute at the entrance of the Yuhua Small World. It seems that Yin Tianjue already had a complete plan back then. No wonder he handed the Heaven-Stealing Spirit Talisman to Yin Xuege in advance!

However, where did the Ninefold Lustrous Bone come from? The previous owner of the Yuhua Small World, Qian Ji, was a transcendent immortal. Although it's unknown how strong a transcendent immortal is, the title 'immortal' suggests he was much stronger than Yin Tianjue.

The Ninefold Lustrous Bone could easily break through the restrictions and arrays set by Qian Ji, bringing Yin Xuege into the Yuhua Hall without any hindrance. Where did Yin Tianjue get such a treasure? Or is there a great demon master behind Yin Tianjue who bestowed such a powerful treasure?

The Yuhua World Spirit looked at the Ninefold Lustrous Bone with reverence, cautiously approaching the demonic bone, and sniffed the aura on it. After a while, the Yuhua World Spirit sighed deeply, "Master, do what that old man asked you to do quickly! The person who refined this Ninefold Lustrous Bone is almost a Golden Immortal. Such a person can crush a hundred transcendent immortals like the old master with a single finger. We absolutely cannot offend him!"

Yin Xuege swallowed hard, his mind racing. The Yuhua World Spirit sighed loudly, "The old master was right, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth! When the old master refined countless magical treasures and spiritual artifacts to sell, he always emphasized 'harmony brings wealth.' We never offended anyone, never provoked anyone. Master, you must never offend the owner of the Ninefold Lustrous Bone!"

"I won't offend him!" Yin Xuege coldly snorted, pulling out several golden books and jade scrolls from the Qilin Arm and quickly duplicating them with the Heaven-Stealing Spirit Talisman.

The Yuhua World Spirit muttered and introduced the contents of the golden books and jade scrolls.

Among these scrolls, besides the three volumes of Qian Ji's refining insights, "Qian Ji's Secret Techniques," the most important one was the cultivation method Qian Ji practiced when he entered the path of cultivation, "Chen Yuan Dong Xuan Li Huo Heart Sutra." This is a cultivation method of the earth fire attribute, which can harness the underground flames to cultivate, and upon mastery, one has the potential to become a celestial immortal.

Although Qian Ji deviated from the path due to his talent and insight, he still cultivated the Chen Yuan Li Huo, one of the top 300 of the 36,000 types of heavenly spiritual fires, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, possessing immense power.

It was with this Chen Yuan Li Huo that Qian Ji could melt various rare materials, thus becoming a renowned master of refining among the transcendent immortals.

The "Chen Yuan Dong Xuan Li Huo Heart Sutra" is a direct lineage of a powerful earth immortal from the upper realm, a well-ordered and orthodox cultivation method. Compared to the deep and unfathomable "Yi Qi Qian Yuan Yu Zhu Bao Lu," which almost made Yin Xuege vomit blood just by looking at it, the "Chen Yuan Dong Xuan Li Huo Heart Sutra" can be cultivated from the beginning, making it more valuable for ordinary cultivators!

The only limitation is that the "Yi Qi Qian Yuan Yu Zhu Bao Lu" is a Golden Immortal's path, requiring only the cultivator's strength and realm, with no special requirements for talent and aptitude. The "Chen Yuan Dong Xuan Li Huo Heart Sutra," however, can only be cultivated by those with a fire spiritual root or a fire spiritual body.

If one lacks a fire spiritual root or a fire spiritual body, a wood spiritual root or a wood spiritual body can勉强 be used to cultivate. However, those with a wood spiritual root or a wood spiritual body must be extremely cautious when cultivating this method. Any deviation can result in the destruction of the spiritual root, the burning of flesh and blood, or even the complete annihilation of the soul, preventing reincarnation.

"Of course, the old master also said that according to his calculations, if a cultivator with a wood spiritual root or a wood spiritual body successfully cultivates this method, the innate wood will generate subsequent fire, and the wood and fire will mutually nourish each other. Although the final power will be slightly less than that of a pure fire spiritual root or a fire spiritual body, the various applications of the fire will be at least 30% stronger!"

The Yuhua World Spirit continued to explain the contents of the golden books and jade scrolls to Yin Xuege. Yin Xuege swiftly completed the duplication of these invaluable golden books and jade scrolls, then placed the originals in a golden box on the altar and firmly closed the lid.

Then, with a quick turn, Yin Xuege looked at the nine large cauldrons.

After a moment of contemplation, looking at the Ninefold Lustrous Bone floating beside him, Yin Xuege said solemnly, "When the Yuhua World Master refined these Floating Light Star Boats, did anyone know how many he refined?"

The Yuhua World Spirit hurriedly shook his head and chuckled, "How could outsiders know how many star boats the old master refined? The old master's business in the cultivation world was buying and selling. All orders and deliveries were handled by this old servant, so I am the most familiar with the situation here."

Rolling up his sleeves and pointing at the cauldrons, the Yuhua World Spirit said solemnly, "The nine Floating Light Star Boats are the last batch of refined masterpieces before the old master's demise. Apart from the old master and this old servant, no one else knows how many items are stored in the Yuhua Hall."

"Is that so?" Yin Xuege pondered for a moment, then quickly looked at the altar.

Chuckling, Yin Xuege explained his complex relationship with the Jiang Clan to the Yuhua World Spirit and taught him a set of responses. While quickly explaining the current situation, Yin Xuege waved his sleeves, collecting twelve of the eighteen immortal artifact blanks on the altar into his Qilin Arm, and then he prepared to open the cauldrons in the hall.

"Yuhua World Spirit, fetch three Floating Light Star Boats for me!" Yin Xuege shouted urgently, "Throw the other six immortal artifact blanks into those three cauldrons."

The Yuhua World Spirit hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and panted as he busied himself around the three large cauldrons. As he circled the cauldrons, making hand seals and jumping around, he turned back to Yin Xuege and smiled, "Master's luck is good. Before the old master's demise, four of the nine Floating Light Star Boats had their main dragon bones made from the spines of celestial dragons. These four star boats are more than twice as powerful as ordinary Floating Light Star Boats!"

Yin Xuege's eyebrows raised, and he decisively said, "Fetch all four star boats made from celestial dragon spines. The remaining six immortal artifact blanks can be randomly distributed into the four cauldrons."

Sighing, Yin Xuege stroked the hilt of the Blood Spirit Sword and said calmly, "The Jiang Clan saved my life, and I, Yin Xuege, repay kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. Five Floating Light Star Boats, plus six immortal artifact blanks, and these cultivation secrets are enough to repay the Jiang Clan's kindness! As long as I don't take the initiative to harm the Jiang Clan's descendants, I will have fulfilled the alliance!"

The "Heavenly Dao Demon Heart" says it well: cultivators fight heaven and earth, and in the path of cultivation, heaven, earth, and people are all mortal enemies. Allies, even those who have signed various alliance agreements, are not entirely reliable.

"Selfishness is the only way to avoid being destroyed by heaven and earth," although this statement is absolute, in the cultivation world, it is the highest truth! The Jiang Clan saved Yin Xuege and signed an alliance with him for the benefit of the Jiang Clan. Therefore, even if Yin Xuege wants to maintain the alliance with the Jiang Clan, he must ensure his own interests first before considering the Jiang Clan's interests.

Leaving five of the nine star boats for the Jiang Clan, along with six immortal artifact blanks, Yin Xuege felt that his life was worth this much!

The four cauldrons opened simultaneously, and a large amount of flame spurted out, accompanied by the sound of wind and fire. A terrifying heat wave rushed towards Yin Xuege, making him sweat profusely. He felt like a poor leaf in the desert, about to be dried up in an instant.

The Qilin Arm timely released a red aura to envelop Yin Xuege's entire body, making him feel a coolness all over. The external heat wave no longer troubled him. From the four open cauldrons, four beams of silver starlight slowly rose and, under the control of the Yuhua World Spirit's incantations and hand seals, slowly flew to Yin Xuege's front.

Four star boats, each over two feet long, floated in front of Yin Xuege, with countless complex and profound immortal inscriptions faintly visible on their surfaces. Without time to carefully examine the four star boats, the Qilin Arm released a red light, quickly drawing the four star boats inside.

"Hmm? They came so quickly?" The Yuhua World Spirit had just released the four star boats and thrown the six immortal artifact blanks into the cauldrons, and the lids of the cauldrons hadn't even been closed when he suddenly turned to look at the door of the Yuhua Hall.
