Evening.
The huge Bai Gui Ship surfaced, through the dim sky light, the riverbank could be faintly seen not far away.
Chen Mu and Lu Han, along with others, disembarked from the Bai Gui Ship, boarded a three-story wooden boat, and sailed for half an hour before slowly approaching the shore.
Taking advantage of an unguarded moment, Chen Mu found a amber-colored Seeking Spirit Pearl on Jiao Shi’s body, exerted force, and crushed it into powder, scattering it into the Tongtian River.
Watching the yellow-white powder disappear with the river water, Chen Mu felt slightly relieved.
“Just need to completely refine the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, and the risk will be thoroughly eliminated.”
He followed the crowd towards a nearby riverside town while pulling out a strand of Primordial Qi from the Jade Seed, transferring it into the secret acupoint in his brow.
Initially responsive to Primordial Qi as if catnip, now it curiously avoided him from afar.
“Eat!”
“Hurry up and eat!”
“If you’re not full, we are both doomed!”
Chen Mu ignored it, forcibly controlled it as if stuffing a duck by the neck, and fiercely crammed the Primordial Qi inside it.
Ever since he discovered that Jiao Shi found him because the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine was not fully integrated, he grew ruthless.
In three days, Chen Mu continuously produced thirty-six strands of Primordial Qi, feeding them all to it, just to refine the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine and completely eliminate any possibility of being discovered.
“If thirty-six strands of Primordial Qi don’t work, then seventy-two.”
“If seventy-two don’t work, then three thousand six hundred!”
“I refuse to believe I can’t handle such a small spirit mechanism!”
The misstep: “…”
You’re probably trying to burst me open!
…
The next day, five hundred li east of the Dingyou Heavenly River Water Mansion.
Underwater, a cylindrical submarine several tens of meters long burst through the water unexpectedly.
Immediately, an Exotic Force emanated from within the submarine.
Buzz!
White gas waves tumbled, displacing heavy river water like an inverted bowl, creating a dry hemisphere with a diameter of tens of meters on the riverbed.
More than ten Water Mansion Warriors clad in Black Armor surged out of the water and entered the dry space. They spread out immediately, observing large palm-sized oval Jade Plates in their hands while stirring the riverbed silt in search.
Before long, a Black Armored Warrior pulled out a walnut-sized Jade Button from the silt.
“Found it!” he immediately shouted.
Snap!
A crisp sound in the air, a gaunt young man in a black, gold-threaded outfit suddenly appeared.
More than ten warriors immediately bowed and cupped their fists.
“Mansion Lord.”
Jiao Yufei, expressionless, waved his hand and drew the Mustard Seed Jade Charm resembling the Jade Button, lightly tapping it with his finger.
Bang Bang Bang…
Numerous big and small wooden boxes and Jade Boxes burst open, floating in mid-air and scattering around.
Jiao Yufei stared intensely at the many objects, his expression growing increasingly grim.
“Throwing them away directly without taking a penny? Truly cautious and decisive.”
“Troublesome indeed…”
The lead Black Armored Warrior hesitated for a moment and then suggested, “Mansion Lord, should we explore along this direction?”
“About another three to four hundred li, there is a landing spot. The person who ambushed young master Jiao Shi might have embarked from there.”
“Useless,” Jiao Yufei waved his hand: “Not taking a penny and carrying the Mustard Seed Jade Charm so far just to confuse us.”
“Even if they indeed landed at the three hundred li ferry, there won’t be anything to find.”
“Getting to this point, we have already given our all. As for the rest…” Jiao Yufei slightly shook his head, his expression indifferent.
Jiao Shi sneakily entered the Water Mansion and ended up turning himself into a living dead man, forcing him to interrupt his cultivation personally for investigation.
Managing to find the discarded Jade Button, he felt that he had already done beyond his duty, as for further pursuit…
“Let’s wait. Let the people from the Renxu Heavenly River Water Mansion arrive and see. They might have other means to track.”
…
Dingyou Heavenly River Water Mansion south, four hundred li away.
In a stretch of continuously low green hills, more than ten fifty-meter-long Seven-star Centipedes were rapidly crawling with a rustling sound.
Various unique wooden racks were tied to the centipedes’ backs, some piled with living creatures, others seated with people.
On the back of one centipede, Chen Mu sat with closed eyes at the edge of a seat.
It had already been five days since Chen Mu left the Tongtian River.
At this moment, his body slightly wobbled with the movements of the Seven-star Centipede, appearing as if he were asleep, yet in reality, his Spirit was entirely immersed within the Jade Seed.
A silver smoky Talisman inside the Jade Seed kept expanding and contracting, resembling a living cloud.
“Hope this Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique is really useful.”
To prevent being tracked, Jiao Shi didn’t take any of the White Jade Treasure materials on him and even deliberately sent the Mustard Seed Jade Charm away using Vermilion Feather Sword, hundreds of miles away.
But he had browsed through the various Secret Technique Jade Scrolls stored inside the Jade Charm.
Right now, the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique he was practicing was a copy of the Secret Technique Scripture Scrolls he made.
“According to the Secret Technique, the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique can refine the root device of a demon, turning it into a Magic Treasure. This could be used to assist in merging the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine.”
“This Secret Technique must have been specifically prepared by that person for the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine. The plans were really thorough.”
“What a pity, now it’s all mine.”
Taking a deep breath, Mana surged, and strands of lightning immediately appeared within the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique Talisman.
In the Secret Acupoint at his forehead, an Exotic Force emerged, forming a massive, transparent water sphere that engulfed the chaotic mix instantly.
The previously buzzing around like agile bees, the chaos inside suddenly became as if it had drunk alcohol, listlessly immobile.
Wisps of hair-like black qi floated out from both, quickly corroded and dissipated by an invisible force. Threads of golden patterns surfaced on the Jet-black Moon Blade and the ghastly White Bone Sphere.
In just a moment, Chen Mu discovered that the connection between him and the chaotic mix was becoming increasingly tight.
“There’s a way!”
Chen Mu felt elated.
To be specially prepared by that person to refine the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, this Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique was indeed extraordinary!
…
Seven days later, at Dingyou Water Mansion.
Center of the Water Mansion Dojo, a man in his forties stood in the middle of a Four-direction Altar.
An amber-colored sphere floated not far in front of him.
The middle-aged man’s right hand fingers were held together in front of his chest, and along with the awkward Curse Words, wisps of Mana transformed into golden threads, merging into the amber sphere.
This continued for half an hour.
Buzz!
The amber sphere vibrated, and a golden dot appeared within the sphere.
“Found it?” The figure of Jiao Yufei suddenly appeared from nowhere.
“I’ve found it!” A glint of fierceness flashed across the middle-aged man’s face.
“Could it be that the person threw away the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine to mislead our direction?”
“No.”
“The Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, once slightly merged with a Fetus, becomes a Magic Treasure. Not only does it protect, but it also produces Profound Yin Qi to nourish the Heavenly Demon Body.”
“My son, Jiao Shi, who has never lacked treasure materials for cultivation, couldn’t resist this temptation and sneakily came for the spirit machine. I don’t believe that person could have the Soul Strength to let it go,” the middle-aged man’s expression darkened.
Jiao Yufei remained silent, offering no opinion.
“What, don’t you believe?” The middle-aged man’s eyes shifted, glancing sideways at Jiao Yufei.
“I just know that Jiao Shi came well-prepared this time for the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine. Inside his Mustard Seed Jade Charm, he had prepared two types of superior demon Fetus.”
“What do you mean…” The middle-aged man frowned.
The implication was that not everyone is as foolish and blinded by greed as your son, Jiao Shi!
Jiao Yufei’s thoughts spun, his expression calm: “That person could let go of that Mustard Seed Jade Charm full of expensive treasures; maybe he could also let go of the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine.”
“What if he can’t let go?” The middle-aged man’s expression hardened.
“Then it means he likely has a way to prevent you from tracking him,” Jiao Yufei replied calmly.
“Just him? A Wild Cultivator who popped out from who-knows-where?” The middle-aged man sneered.
“It was that Wild Cultivator who reduced Jiao Shi to a living corpse.”
The middle-aged man’s face changed, about to retort.
Pop!
Like a bubble bursting, a light sound reached their ears.
This soft noise, in the middle-aged man’s ears, sounded like thunder.
He suddenly turned his head, only to see that, at some unknown point, the amber sphere had cracked all over. The golden dot that was once clearly indicating the location of the spirit machine, had vanished!
“It was you!” The middle-aged man suddenly turned and glared at Jiao Yufei.
“This is Dingyou Water Mansion, think carefully before you lose your temper here,” Jiao Yufei replied indifferently.
“Besides, you seem not to understand your son very well.”
“Inside Jiao Shi’s Mustard Seed Jade Charm, there was more than one scripture for refining demon root devices.”
“Do you not know, or do you arrogantly think, that the person who caused Jiao Shi’s downfall doesn’t have enough talent and can’t learn it in such a short time?”
The middle-aged man’s face turned an ashen blue!
