Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 42: Wuo Longyue’s Reward

The little insect followed behind Wuo Ling, silently leaving this underground rift valley.

Once they reached the mountainside on the ground, it immediately flapped its wings and soared, stirring up a gust of wind, speeding toward the western side of the Wuze Major Vein at a speed nearly comparable to the Yin Realm.

Over an hour later.

Edge of the Guo Wen Division at the Wuze Major Vein.

A team traveled through the mountains, relaxed in their posture, chatting and laughing along the way.

Suddenly.

Guo Jin’s eyes narrowed, and without warning, he leapt up and grabbed at a cluster of trees above.

"What was that?"

"I didn’t see anything."

The team members all looked at Guo Jin in astonishment.

Guo Jin dropped down from the sky and opened his palm, upon which lay a small black insect.

"A Ghost-winged Insect!"

"Isn’t that Zhan Hu’s Ghost-winged Insect?"

Nan Hao and the others stepped up to take a look, all of them startled.

"Something doesn’t seem right."

Guo Jin narrowed his eyes, then raised his palm, letting the Ghost-winged Insect float up.

The next moment, he flicked out a drop of fresh blood, enveloping it.

After absorbing Guo Jin’s essence blood, the Ghost-winged Insect trembled in midair, its wings vibrating out a sheet of phantom images.

Swoosh!

The phantoms suddenly expanded, and a hazy scene appeared out of thin air.

This was the Ghost-winged Insect’s little-known special ability.

Stimulated by essence blood, it could display what it had seen not long ago!

In the image, human figures blurred in motion—it was clear there was fierce fighting.

There was also a great swath of indistinct red light.

"Where is this place?"

"Boss, that looks like Wuo Changyuan, from the Kunwu Division!"

"That little Qian brat is there too."

"Hiss, Zhan Hu’s group—five against three—and they all died?"

...

A few of them cried out in shock, unable to believe it.

Wuo Changyuan, Zhan Hu, even Xu Yang—they’d clashed with them not long ago and knew their strength well.

This should have been a one-sided battle, but the result was completely unexpected!

Something’s fishy!

"The ore vein!"

Guo Jin, though, was focused on the glow of red light—the battle had clearly taken place at a huge mining pit.

"What kind of ore vein gives off that much red light in the mine?"

Guo Jin stared hard at his subordinates, enunciating each word: "And something that made Zhan Hu and Wuo Changyuan fight to the death..."

"Red light?"

"An underground mine..."

Nan Hao shuddered all over, his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "Could it be the Profound Snake Blood Ore?"

The words ’Profound Snake Blood Ore’ crashed into everyone’s minds like a sledgehammer!

...

Inside the blood ore cave.

A group of Kunwu Division’s high-ranking experts were carefully investigating, their faces brimming with joy amid the crisp knocking sounds—it was almost overflowing.

"It’s been over a decade since our Kunwu Division last found Profound Snake Blood Ore!"

"Heaven blesses the Kunwu Division!"

"The amount of blood ore here is enough to supply over ten thousand top-grade Blood Beast Elixirs at least!"

"With Mr. Xu here, and now this Profound Snake Blood Ore, in half a year at most, the Kunwu Division’s direct-line elite will transform, reborn!"

...

Xu Yang’s injuries had already slightly recovered.

At this moment, he was standing in the corner with Wuo Longyue. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Mr. Xu is practically a lucky star for the Kunwu Division—just here a short while and already found such a big Profound Snake Ore Vein."

"I truly don’t know how to express my gratitude!"

The excitement on Wuo Longyue’s face hadn’t faded, his eyes fixed on Xu Yang with utter sincerity.

Of course, no one could really know what he was thinking inside.

Xu Yang didn’t care if Wuo Longyue was insincere or genuine.

"Chief, for every batch of Blood Beast Elixir we make from the ore, I get one pill!" Xu Yang looked at Wuo Longyue, cutting right to the chase!

Interests should be fought for.

He and Doggie were the ones who discovered the blood ore.

And in alchemy, even fourth-rank Wuo Huai was no match for him!

Wuo Longyue’s pupils shrank, his expression constricted a bit, and he pondered to himself.

With the Profound Snake Blood Ore, Blood Beast Elixirs are top-grade, with shocking effects!

Even at the lowest estimate, each batch is three pills—one for him, but the more refined, the more Xu Yang gets, that adds up to a frightening number.

This was exactly the treasure that could raise the Kunwu Division’s elite power!

But Xu Yang was simply too vital!

Not to mention, he was the one who discovered the blood ore.

Wuo Longyue really couldn’t find any reason to refuse!

If he didn’t give in, what if Xu Yang just dropped everything and left?

Threaten him with death?

Killing Xu Yang would be all too easy—in the face of the Kunwu Division, he was like an ant to be crushed at will!

But killing Xu Yang would be an unacceptable loss for the Kunwu Division!

Before you have it, you can take it or leave it, but once you do, you never want to lose it again.

Wuo Longyue took a deep breath and, stifling the pain as if his heart was bleeding, forced a smile: "Mr. Xu deserves this!"

Hearing this, even though Xu Yang was prepared for it, he couldn’t help but show a hint of joy!

For someone amidst the Barbarian Race, to get a benefit like this wasn’t easy!

With this promise, his cultivation would progress faster from here on out.

"Thank you, Chief!"

Having received his reward, Xu Yang didn’t hold back his courtesy.

Give him a share, and the Kunwu Division would reap even more in return... Wuo Longyue comforted himself—someone who could rise to the position of Clan Leader obviously wasn’t short-sighted.

Wuo Longyue patted Xu Yang’s shoulder, a gleam flashing in his eyes; he immediately gave a broad smile: "Mr. Xu has rendered a tremendous meritorious service this time. I think this alone is not enough!"

With Xu Yang’s potential, the Kunwu Division would only gain more benefits in the future.

He wanted to bind Xu Yang to them completely!

Even if others fought to win him over, he wanted Xu Yang to consider who could give him more.

"Oh?"

Xu Yang looked at Wuo Longyue in surprise, Is he really this generous?

He couldn’t help but wonder what other benefits Wuo Longyue had in store for him?

"Mr. Xu might not know about my Barbarian Race’s bloodline trial."

"Bloodline trial?"

"Chief, please enlighten me."

Xu Yang’s heart stirred.

The elite of the Barbarian Race, just like the Qian prodigies, most all possessed bloodlines.

Wuo Longyue smiled: "Our bloodline trial takes place in a heritage secret realm, gathering the heritage of years. Under the ancient baptism of bloodline power, our clan’s blood and barbarian marks are fundamentally transformed."

"It is the most crucial trial for each clan."

"By the rules, outsiders aren’t allowed in; but you’re different, Mr. Xu. I intend to give you a chance—perhaps you’ll reap something from it!"

Xu Yang didn’t feel surprised at first; instead, he frowned slightly: "I don’t have barbarian marks or bloodlines. Will I benefit from it?"

A flicker of subtle surprise crossed Wuo Longyue’s eyes.

He maintained his composure: "There hasn’t been precedent before, but all martial ways lead to the same goal. Maybe you won’t experience a massive transformation like our clansmen, but it’s not guaranteed to be fruitless either."

"In any case, it’s a rare opportunity."

"If Mr. Xu isn’t interested..."

Xu Yang glanced at Wuo Longyue with a half-smile, saying casually, "With such a gift from the Chief, how could I refuse?"

No matter if this guy’s intentions were good or bad, it was a stroke of fortune.

If he didn’t gain anything, at least it would broaden his experience and toughen him up.

If fortune smiled, it would be a pleasant surprise—after all, the Blood Beast Elixir was proof of real gain.

"Good."

Wuo Longyue nodded slightly, then headed inside.

An elder of the tribe shot a subtle glance at Xu Yang and whispered, "Chief, why let a Qian man into the secret realm for the bloodline trial?"

Wuo Longyue smirked, "It’s not like Qian people haven’t entered before!"

"And you know what happened, don’t you?"
