Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 217 - 207: The More Friends, The More Paths, The Role of Blue Moon Fire Firestone
Within the carriage of the Dragon Tooth Tiger, Le Congsheng and the others occasionally looked at Hong Yuan, especially Jiang Nai.
They were all very curious why that decrepit fifth-order big shot would fear Hong Yuan, and why Lin Bu Jing kept asking for Hong Yuan’s name.
One question after another emerged in their minds.
Mysteriously, after this outing, it seemed as if a fog had enveloped Hong Yuan, making him difficult for them to understand.
However, they did not ask, so naturally, Hong Yuan wouldn’t explain voluntarily.
Immortals should indeed have the mindset of immortals, Hong Yuan sighed softly in his heart.
Ever since he had experienced the power of the Sword Tao’s Incarnation—a power that could destroy heavens and remake worlds—his mentality had undergone a tremendous change. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
But the nature of these changes was not something he could convey to others.
BUZZ— BUZZ—
Inside the Aperture within Hong Yuan’s body, the black Divine Talisman, condensed from the Ten Thousand Heavy Water Divine Power, was gradually becoming more concrete. Stable Water Tao Marks clung to it.
「That night.」
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse; magpies flew south.
Maple Leaf City Lord’s Mansion, resplendent and majestic like a castle, was brightly lit.
Alluring ladies carried various dishes, all to satisfy the palates of Hong Yuan and the others.
Soy-sauce roasted turkey, stir-fried ginger crab, grilled wild ox leg...
Undeniably, Huang Sanyi, this Senior Brother from Phoenix Creek Sect, was extremely hospitable.
He fully displayed his power as a City Lord to Hong Yuan and the others!
Huang Sanyi beamed. "Everyone, please eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll instruct them to make more. Just say the word if there’s something particular you want to eat. As long as it exists in Maple Leaf City, I can get it for you all!"
Le Congsheng, awed by Huang Sanyi’s powerful presence, looked up and said, "Senior Brother, rest assured, we understand."
Tang Baiwei picked up some crab meat and placed it in Le Congsheng’s porcelain bowl, then echoed, "Yes, we understand."
"Hehe..." Huang Sanyi grinned, his eyes crinkling, yet his gaze mostly lingered on Hong Yuan.
At that moment, Hong Yuan was dining with a calm and composed demeanor. His expression was nonchalant, and he was not at all swayed by Huang Sanyi’s impressive power.
Beautiful women, delicious food, fine wine, enjoyable music.
Hong Yuan had already indulged in such scenes back in Pengcheng.
During his last Sect experiential training, an opportunity earned by defeating others, he had relished the thrill of dominating a city’s Storm. Naturally, he wouldn’t harbor any such longing now.
Such magnanimity. He’s definitely the prized pupil of one of the Elders. Perhaps in the future, he might take charge of a region, Huang Sanyi pondered.
A bright light flickered in his clear, dark eyes, and he made a certain decision in his heart.
His son was a disappointment, raised by him to be idle and lacking great ambition.
His daughter, however, was just three years old. In a decade or so, she might more easily become a disciple of the Phoenix Creek Sect, perhaps through connections with people like Hong Yuan.
"Please continue eating, everyone," Huang Sanyi said cheerfully. "I have some matters to deal with and will be back shortly. Would you mind looking after Xiao Cao for me?"
He then put his daughter, who was in his arms, down on the ground before heading towards his study.
The three-year-old girl was sucking her little finger. She originally wanted to crawl towards Hong Yuan, but after he glanced at her, she seemed to sense something. She immediately changed direction and crawled towards Le Congsheng instead.
Quickly setting down her chopsticks, Tang Baiwei picked up Xiao Cao and gently rocked her. "Don’t cry, don’t cry, Xiao Cao is a good girl."
Meanwhile, Hong Yuan continued to dine, silently pondering how to break through from the Four Images Transformation Sub-Divine Power to the Four Images Transformation Divine Power.
The Four Images Sub-Divine Powers were, respectively, the Green Dragon Sub-Divine Power, the White Tiger Sub-Divine Power, the Vermilion Bird Sub-Divine Power, and the Xuanwu Sub-Divine Power.
Combined, these four could form a Human Tao-level Divine Power; individually, they were Sub-Divine Powers.
Hong Yuan was now exploring how to elevate a single Sub-Divine Power to a Divine Power, thereby increasing his combat strength.
The fusion of Power Tao and Transformation Tao is indeed challenging, not to mention that the Four Images Transformation Divine Power also involves the elemental paths of wood, metal, fire, and water, Hong Yuan lightly closed his eyes, deep in thought.
Divine Skill Talismans were treasures that could be passed down through generations.
Even if his Power Tao Incarnation were consumed for some reason, such as failing the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation, Hong Yuan could still retain the Divine Power seed.
He just needed to create another Incarnation, and a powerful Power Tao Incarnation could continue on the previous path.
This ensured a stable return!
I’m in a predicament with the Four Images Transformation Divine Power, but the Ten Thousand Heavy Water Divine Power has shown pleasingly successful results. As soon as I return to the Sect, I can begin to mold my Original Body’s Myriad Silence Origin Body.
By then, I wonder how much the ’Myriad Silence Realm’ of the Ice Armor Python Avatar will have developed. Demon Skill? Divine Power?
Hong Yuan’s thoughts shifted to the Myriad Silence Origin Body, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Joy filled his heart, but Hong Yuan’s face showed no expression; he continued to dine calmly, concealing his thoughts from onlookers.
Just then, a series of footsteps sounded from outside the White Jade Hall.
Huang Sanyi came briskly, his face beaming with smiles, giving each of the four, Hong Yuan included, a medium-sized storage bag.
"Senior Brother, what is this..." Le Congsheng hesitated.
He had checked the contents, which were worth nearly 500,000 Energy Stones.
Tang Baiwei and Jiang Nai were also shocked. Their two storage bags were filled with various Instruments and medicinal pills, also worth nearly 500,000 Energy Stones.
Hong Yuan, however, squinted his eyes and carefully inspected the Blue Moon Fire Firestones inside his storage bag.
Blue Moon Fire Firestones. These fire stones from the Flame Sacred Fire Secret Realm were a precious fire-element resource.
This many Blue Moon Fire Firestones could be valued at over 2,000,000 Energy Stones!
But that wasn’t what caught his attention.
Blue Moon Fire Firestones are effective for the Vermilion Bird Transformation Divine Power; they can accelerate its condensation!
Hong Yuan was surprised, then quickly concluded, The Flame Sacred Fire Secret Realm... it seems I will have to visit it with my Power Tao Incarnation.
Huang Sanyi waved his hands and spoke with deep sincerity, "Hahaha, it’s nothing much. Just consider it building good karma. I have high hopes for all of you."
"I may never return to the Sect in my lifetime, but Xiao Cao might have the opportunity to become a Sect disciple in the future. I’ll be counting on you all to look after her."
Recalling Huang Sanyi’s hospitality over the past two days, Le Congsheng and the others immediately made promises.
"Senior Brother, rest assured. As soon as your niece arrives, I will definitely help her with the entrance formalities and ensure she cultivates diligently and strives for admission."
"Yes, I will do the same."
"Me too."
Huang Sanyi nodded with a smile at each of them, but his gaze was still focused on Hong Yuan.
As a True Disciple himself, he could naturally discern Hong Yuan’s exceptional nature.
He even felt an oppressive sensation from Hong Yuan, the kind only possessed by the nine Phoenix Creek True Transmissions, which was quite terrifying!
"Mm," Hong Yuan nodded lightly. He wouldn’t mind lending a hand if it was within his capabilities.
Huang Sanyi’s face beamed even brighter. He quickly had his young daughter greet them again, acknowledging their seniority.
At the banquet, Madam Huang looked puzzled at her husband.
Are these unestablished juniors worth so much attention?
「The next morning.」
Behind the City Lord’s Mansion, Hong Yuan and the others bid farewell to Huang Sanyi.
Amid waving goodbyes, the Drifting Leaf Cloud Boat headed towards Red Feather County.
Red Feather County was not only home to the Tang Family but also the location of the Flame Sacred Fire Secret Realm.
"My Lord," Madam Huang said, her heart aching at the expense, "after a year of covert efforts, we only managed to gather three million Energy Stones. And you just gave away nearly a year and a half’s worth of our efforts—"
"Foolishness!" Huang Sanyi’s expression turned stern, devoid of the jovial smile he wore at the banquet.
His eyes were clear. "I believe they won’t perish so easily. Our future depends on Xiao Cao. This is a Martial Artist’s world!"
