Chapter 993 – Beginning of the matter
This made him unable to completely relax, especially after the mountain breaking mace artifact spirit fell into a deep slumber. Although the Pangolin had promised that he would be able to awaken in two years, Yang Junshan had already prepared for the mountain breaking mace to become unusable for a long time. That was why Yang Junshan was so anxious to increase his own treasure, the Mountain Monarch Seal.
Inside the immortal palace, after Yang Junshan had entrusted the matter of upgrading the life treasure to the Eight Treasures Daoist, even though he had the complete body of a Dao Realm Stone Demon, he still stayed in the oven room for half a month to discuss the matter with the Eight Treasures Daoist and make the most initial preparations.
Just as he returned from the immortal palace, Yang Junping sent someone to inform him that the fire valley’s Burning Heaven Clan was here.
Yang Junshan was overjoyed, but he thought to himself, this is just a coincidence. He wanted to raise the grade of the Mountain Monarch Seal, so the Eight Treasures Daoist clearly stated a request, fortificer who had once refined a Mountain Monarch Seal to help him, and when the Mountain Monarch Seal was promoted to a medium-grade treasure, he received help from the artificer of the fire valley.
Originally, Yang Junshan also understood that the most suitable candidate would be Ouyang Xulin. After all, the several upgrades that the Mountain Monarch Seal made back then, from the initial stage to the top-notch spirit artifact, were all done by Ouyang Xulin. It could be said that the true foundation of the Mountain Monarch Seal as well as the successive paths of its growth were all laid by Ouyang Xulin.
Moreover, even if Ouyang Xulin wanted to, the Heaven-Shaken Sect would probably not let him go, and even after the last time Ning Bin berated him, he really did not want to make things difficult for his friends anymore.
It was because of this that Yang Junshan was determined to give this opportunity to the refiners of fire valley.
This was indeed a chance. The authority of the Eight Treasures Daoist in the Dao of Artifact Forging was unquestionable, if he was going to refine a daoyin apparatus, even if he was not a grandmaster himself, it was still enough to attract many artificers to take the initiative to help him.
Yang Junshan even considered if he should bring He Tiisheng along to observe the refining process of the Eight Treasures Daoist. Unfortunately, He Tiisheng’s cultivation was only at the early stage of Gangli Accumulation Realm and was still far from the minimum requirement set by the immortal palace.
“Senior Can Yan is really a rare guest, Jun Shan is too slow.” Yang Junshan immediately cupped his hands together in apology.
“What do you mean, ‘senior’?” Adept Crimson Flame hurriedly stood up, hurriedly waving his hands. “How can he be called ‘senior’? It is indeed a blessing to meet the Daofather.”
Yang Junshan had seen similar scenes many times already, so he invited to have a seat in the sect. He then asked, “Senior, what do you have to say for yourself?”
“I dare not disrespect you, but there is one thing that Madame Yang must know first. After Sect Leader heard this, he immediately sent a message to me.”
The people of Golden Crow have been trying to come in contact with our sect in secret for a while, and have even promised some benefits. The Sect Leader Senior Brother has speculated that the Golden Crow is probably here for the Madame Yang. ”
Hearing the name “Golden Crow”, Yang Junshan’s pupils constricted, as he thought to himself that he had indeed come looking for him.
“Then what does Senior Qiyang mean?” Yang Junshan asked without leaving a trace.
“The Sect Leader Senior said that the Golden Crow promised benefits in order to investigate the background of the Madame Yang, and the Sect Leader told him many news regarding the Madame Yang that the other sects and powers of the Yuzhou also understand.”
Yang Junshan pondered for a moment, and said: “Senior Qiyang is saying, that the cultivators that infiltrated Yuzhou this time, did they not only look for one?
“The Sect Leader doesn’t have any evidence. The only thing he can do is inform the Madame Yang first.”
Yang Junshan stood up and said: “No matter what, I thank fire valley very much this time, and I would have to trouble senior to thank Senior Qiyang on behalf of this junior.”
Upon seeing this, Adept Crimson Flame stood up as well. “If that’s the case, then I won’t disturb you any further.”
Unexpectedly, Yang Junshan waved his hand and said: “I am not busy, and happen to have something to trouble your esteemed sect as well. A top refining grandmaster that this junior has met in the Immortal palace wants to use the refining of a daoyin apparatus to breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, and would require an extremely great amount of assistance. I wonder if the seniors who helped this junior level up the Mountain Monarch Seal have time, and only need to go by one person.”
He, too, had some attainments in the Dao of alchemy. Naturally, he knew how difficult it was foop grandmaster to refine a Dao Realm pill by chance. However, he was still very regretful and forced a smile, “I’m afraid that this matter doesn’t need to be reported to the head senior brother. I’ll be able to answer your question.”
Yang Junshan could understand the intention to reject his request just by looking at him. Indeed, the Crippling Flame Daoist then continued, “Several refiners of the sect are working together to refinreasure, but none of them are able to leave.
After sending off Spiritual Master Jiu Yan, Yang Junping immediately said, “I’m afraid the Golden Crow’s spies have already snuck into the clan’s area of influence. I will have the people in the inner hall spread it out and pay attention to some suspicious people.”
Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “Inform Bao Yuer to patrol the two counties, let Ruan Yutong and the others take turns to ride the giant eagle to scout in the sky, and don’t forget Spiritual Master Can Yan’s reminder, get the inner hall’s people to pay attention to the situation outside recently. Also, find a way to get Ouyang Xulin to go to the Immortal palace at the appropriate time, I have something to trouble him with.”
Yang Junshan still had time to travel between the Immortal Palace and Western Mountain. When the time comes for the artifact forging to officially begin, he would probably not be able to leave oven room for a very long time.
Almost a month later, Yang Junshan once again entered the Immortal palace. Once a cultivator advanced into the Dao Realm, they would be able to enter and exit the Immortal palace at any time, regardless of the time limit.
Arriving at the Immortal palace once again, when Yang Junshan saw the guide child, he immediately gave it a bag of mulberries.
These mulberries were picked from the spirit mulberry trees that Sang Shener had planted in spiritual plantation. Each of them was much more tender and filled with wood type spirit energy.
He did not know if this fellow had a sense of smell auppet, but Yang Junshan saw that it opened up the bag, and started to eat with Sang Shener in an intoxicated manner.
“This is something picked up by the spirit mulberry tree. It doesn’t taste right, but it’s quite fresh. It looks like it’s newly picked?”
Yang Junshan immediately flattered: “Brat, your eyes are sharp like torches!”
guide child shot him a glance and said: “There’s something I need to say.”
Yang Junshan blinked his eyes, and said: “It’s nothing!”
guide child turned his head and focused on eating the mulberry and said: “It’s better if I’m fine!”
Because he couldn’t find a suitable person to stay in the residence for the time being, this place could only be managed by Yang Junshan himself for the time being. However, it was impossible for him to stay in this place for a long time, and the encampment did not have any signs on it.
Although Yang Junshan’s mind wasn’t here for the time being, there were still some items placed in the encampment for trade.
The entrance gates to the base were opened. A man wearing a grey robe and with a face that could not be seen clearly walked in.
“You’re here?”
Yang Junshan put down what he was doing, and patted his hands as he stood up.
The person looked around the base, then pointed at a few array flags in the corner and said, “As long as you hang out your name as a formation master, those array flags will be immediately taken away. But now it seems that my luck is quite good, tell me, how do you want to exchange those array flags?”
Yang Junshan laughed: “Those array flags are just tools used to practice, if you want to take them then go ahead.”
The person flung the gray robe on his head backwards. Ouyang Xulin turned around and glanced at the closed entrance, and only then did he relax, and said: “It’s not easy to find a reason to come here, tell me, what did you call me here for this time? Senior brother Ning has warned me over and over again that you brat, you’ve been playing tricks on us lately, trying to poach us out of the sect.
Yang Junshan could not help but laugh bitterly when he heard that, and said: “At that time, there were indeed some bad considerations, but this time, I really did need your help with something.”
With that, Yang Junshan told him about his requests to prepare to level up the Mountain Monarch Seal and the Eight Treasures Daoist.
Ouyang Xulin’s gaze at this time was as shocked as the Eight Treasures Daoist, “You actually have a complete set of the body of a Dao Realm Stone Demon? It’s always been unexpected! ”
Yang Junshan said in a serious tone: “The reason why the Mountain Monarch Seal have been able to grow so fast is all thanks to you, and I believe that the meaning of the Mountain Monarch Seal to you is no small matter. If you want to advance to the daoyin apparatus, the most suitable candidate for that is you, so no matter what, you must help me with everything this time.”
Ouyang Xulin revealed an expression of distress and said: “I naturally do not want to miss the Mountain Monarch Seal raising, but don’t forget the relationship between Madame Yang and myself. If the sect knew that I was refining for you, I would have no need to explain the consequences to them, and I am afraid that this matter could not be hidden either.
Yang Junshan said: “Then just tell mortion of the truth, and say that I have accepted Daoist Eight Treasures’s invitation to help him refine a set of daoyin apparatus. Besides some kind of daoyin apparatus and whose daoyin apparatus it is, I can also inform Heaven-Shaken Sect about the matter.
Ouyang Xulin had already intended to give iry, but after hesitating for a bit, he said: “I’ll try!”
Yang Junshan was overjoyed, and said: “Alright, I’ll bring you to the oven room to meet the Eight Treasures Daoist.”
Within the oven room, there were only the Eight Treasures Daoist Master and his direct disciple, Spiritual Master Xiao. As for the body of the gigantic Dao Realm Stone Demon, it had already been divided into dozens of parts by the master and disciple.
Seeing Yang Junshan and Yue Shan coming in, the Eight Treasures Daoist stood up, and laughed: “I’ll give you something good first!”
As he spoke, he tossed an item over.
Yang Junshan caught it in his hand; it was a colorless crystal the size of a fist.
