Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 721: A Precious Treasure Emerges (Second Update)
At the thought of these, Dragon Spirit immediately felt like he was truly someone who repays kindness. Yun Ran was so lucky to know him!
"Once your wounds from the backlash heal, we’ll set out, alright!"
"Then it’ll be too late, let’s pack up and set off as soon as possible."
Dragon Spirit probably didn’t expect Yun Ran to be so eager, as she hadn’t healed from her injuries yet.
He immediately denied her proposal: "No way, although I know you’re in a hurry, don’t rush. No matter what, you must wait until your injuries heal first.
The Heavenly Book has been sitting in the Secret Valley Forbidden Land for countless years, it’s not going anywhere, we aren’t short on this amount of time.
Besides, didn’t Young Master Uncle say I should protect you during this time? Of course, I have to listen to Young Master Uncle."
Yun Ran looked at Dragon Spirit with a ’I’m doing this for your own good, don’t turn a deaf ear to me’ expression and gave him a helpless eye roll.
"Do you think, once you utter the words ’Heavenly Book’, its secret and location will still be unknown?"
Dragon Spirit paused for a moment, then quickly understood Yun Ran’s implication.
Some great treasures, if unknown to the world, remain secret. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
But once someone speaks of them, even whispered, treasures like the Heavenly Book with their own spiritual essence would emit responses.
Soon enough, people would deduce that a treasure is about to appear.
If they truly wait until her injuries heal to set out, the opportunity would have passed.
"So we set off like this?"
"Of course, we must be fully prepared first. For now, I need to eat, or I’ll faint from hunger."
Meanwhile, as Dragon Spirit uttered the words ’Heavenly Book’, the originally dimly dormant Heavenly Book suddenly emitted light.
It seemed as though it had long awaited someone to call its name. Now, Dragon Spirit spoke, and the Heavenly Book came to life and responded.
Many secluded old monsters in the deep mountains detected the appearance of a great treasure and immediately left their reclusive hideaways.
Using the Heavenly Book’s response, they began calculations.
"Pugh!"
Some started spewing mouthfuls of blood halfway through their calculations, something unprecedented.
"What kind of treasure has such a powerful self-defensive energy that mere calculation can severely injure me?"
Soon, these old monsters who rarely formed alliances or had interactions began contacting one another.
"A treasure has appeared, shall we join forces and split the treasure equally afterward?"
"Discuss when we meet, my limited calculations backfired!"
"Agreed, see you there!"
...
Early the next morning, most of the invited guests left the mountaintop hotel.
Yun Jinyang stayed to handle and oversee follow-up matters, while Yun Ran returned directly to Qingfeng Temple.
Wanqi Yu had barely squeezed time to attend Yun Ran’s coming-of-age ceremony; he should have left that night.
But due to certain mishaps, now on the second day, he hadn’t left and intended to accompany Yun Ran to Qingfeng Temple.
"Didn’t you say you have something important to attend to?"
Wanqi Yu naturally couldn’t admit that after witnessing the prowess of that Senior Yan, he was genuinely curious about Qingfeng Temple.
As for Huannan, behind the scenes, the Wanqi Family made substantial preparations to emerge and reestablish their presence.
If Wanqi Yu, the Young Clan Leader, stalled, causing affects, the Wanqi Family would soon falter, and he couldn’t single-handedly turn the tide.
"Since I’m already here, I must visit Qingfeng Temple. Besides, I wish to collaborate with Qingfeng Temple."
Ever since Qingfeng Temple’s talisman papers became in demand, many sought collaborations with them.
Wanqi Yu’s words didn’t surprise Yun Ran at all, though she wouldn’t give special treatment to the Wanqi Family just because of their connection.
Frankly speaking, the Wanqi Family’s reputation meant less to Yun Ran than people from the Sihui Sect right now.
"Discuss your matters later with Ginsengfruit or Xin Fu. They handle such affairs, I don’t."
"Alright."
The mountaintop hotel isn’t far from Qingfeng Temple, just over an hour’s drive.
Wanqi Yu had only heard that Qingfeng Temple nestled against a mountain, occupying advantageous terrain, and now it seemed true.
However, just upon reaching the mountain foot, Wanqi Yu felt a comfortable aura; cultivating here would surely accomplish double the effort with half the work.
"Did you set up a Gathering Spirit array here? Must’ve been costly."
Yun Ran glanced at Wanqi Yu, somewhat wanting to say: Isn’t that obvious?
But considering his long journey to Death Mountain intending to assist her, she wouldn’t embarrass him.
"Let’s go."
Yun Ran had someone guide Wanqi Yu to the guest courtyard specifically reserved by Qingfeng Temple, while she headed to the private rear courtyard.
This was a no-entry zone for outsiders; if anyone intruded, a Great Seal activated by Yun Ran would deploy.
Then, the entire Qingfeng Temple’s array would activate, turning the place into the most secure ’island’.
As Yun Ran entered the rear courtyard, her Spirit Platform, sealed by Young Master Uncle, was unsealed.
"Ding ding ding..."
Clear chimes rang from the clock always placed at Qingfeng Temple’s plaza.
Those with groggy minds immediately felt refreshed upon hearing the chimes.
Watching the glow representing Qingfeng Temple’s legacy on her being, even the prohibitions on her from Qingfeng Temple lighting up, Yun Ran looked speechless at the solitary memorial tablet in the main chamber.
[Young lass, how did you manage to come back so battered?]
"Master Ancestor, I invited you to enjoy the incense, not poke holes in my lungs."
As Yun Ran finished speaking, a phantom clad in a white long robe floated out from the memorial tablet.
Stroking his beard, he drifted over to Yun Ran, somewhat puff-cheeked, wanting to pinch Yun Ran’s face.
With Yun Ran’s Dao legacy recognized by the Heavenly Dao, Qingfeng Temple’s Ancestor could be summoned to receive incense, but couldn’t stray far from the tablet.
[Peering into the Heavenly Secret and suffered backlash, what a pity~]
Yun Ran: ...
She regretted summoning Qingfeng Temple’s guardian Ancestor for incense offerings; she intended to turn away, but her Spirit Platform’s seal was lifted...
"Master Ancestor, may I ask you to temporarily suppress my injuries from the backlash?"
[Possible, but afterward, you’ll suffer double the backlash, and if that brat Huaiyi breaks my dwelling, you must replace it for me.]
