Chapter 9 Moonlight Like Water "Yanyu Blood Jade!" Lan Lan stared at the colorful treasure box for a long time before taking a long breath and sighing, "Sister, this gift is too expensive! I can't accept it!" She gently closed the lid of the box and handed it back to Zixuan. "Sister, what second sister said is right, your gift is so unexpected!" Xiaojing understood the value of it and said with emotion. This is not surprising, the Yanyu Blood Jade is considered a precious item even in the Great Thousand World. In the Middle Thousand World, the Sky Fox Clan, although a well-known clan, has only accumulated a few dozen pieces in a million years. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. The output of Yanyu Blood Jade is extremely rare, and at least three conditions must be met: First of all, of course, there must be a mineral vein that stretches for at least hundreds of miles, and it needs to be a top-quality jade mineral vein. Because only a large enough mineral vein will have enough capacity to melt the essence and absorb the energy. It is like holding water. No matter how good the cup is, it cannot hold a bucket of water. Moreover, the best jade is flawless, and only this kind of jade can perfectly integrate with the top-level essence and spiritual power. Secondly, there should be a phoenix living, staying or flying over in the mountains where the jade mines are located, and the blood of the phoenix should be spilled in the mountains. Finally, in the veins, the jade nourished by the blood of the Phoenix merged with the essence of the blood to form Yanlang Jade.
The power of phoenix blood is extremely great, especially the violent fire element it contains, which requires a gentle top-grade jade to neutralize over a long period of time. Therefore, the time for nourishment and fusion is very long. According to the conservative estimate of the Sky Fox Clan's weapon refining master, this period is at least 500,000 years. Any of the above three conditions, listed separately, is enough to discourage people. Especially the blood of the phoenix, which is so rare that it is unimaginable. It is generally believed that the Vermilion Bird is a descendant of the Phoenix. It is said that it was born by chance when the Phoenix and the Golden Winged Dapeng came together. The Vermilion Bird has a trace of the Phoenix's blood, so it ranks among the four ancient divine beasts. Some underage Vermilion Birds are even as powerful as high-level supreme beings. A drop of Vermilion Bird's blood is enough to sell for a staggering price in the auction market. And, of course, there is still no market for it. It can be seen that if someone possesses a drop of the blood of a real phoenix, the sensation it will cause will be unimaginable. After all, it is also useful for the supreme enlightenment practice. The Phoenix clan, like the Golden Dragon clan, were once super mythical beasts from ancient times. On a screen wall in a secret place of the clan, Zi Xuan once saw the afterimage of a phoenix left by a predecessor. This senior once went to an ancient forbidden area for life and narrowly escaped death. In that forbidden area, she found a remnant of treasure that recorded the battle between the phoenix and the golden dragon. After returning, she used her extraordinary means to leave some of the images in the remnant in the clan for the younger generation to watch. In this video, the phoenix revealed its true form. Its body was as tall as a mountain, its feathers were gorgeous, and its glow was overwhelming. It looked extraordinary at first glance. Amid the clear and passionate phoenix cry, its wings spread out, and as soon as the wings covered the sky, flames suddenly surged. The red fire surged like a vast ocean, burning the universe... Even though she was looking at the screen wall, Zixuan seemed to feel the burning heat and the air around her was hot and unbearable. Today, there are no more phoenixes in the Middle Thousand Worlds - perhaps there are such creatures in the Great Thousand Worlds. Just think about it and you will know that Yanlang Blood Jade was born with the blood of the Phoenix. The Phoenix is a super divine beast and an existence that all demon tribes look up to. If she were there, who would dare to set their sights on her? It is estimated that a great war took place in ancient times, when the chaotic world was not divided, and the blood of the phoenix was spilled during the war. Later, the great god Pangu created the world, and the chaotic world was divided into three realms - the Great Thousand World, the Middle Thousand World, and the Small Thousand World. A part of the area that originally belonged to the chaotic world was divided into the Middle Thousand World. Therefore, the Sky Fox Clan was lucky enough to find the Yanyu Blood Jade in an area of tens of millions of miles. Because the phoenix has cultivated the great magical power of "Nirvana", it can be reborn from the ashes, and is known as an immortal body. Its blood is said to be able to revive the dead, but because it contains great power, low-level cultivators cannot absorb it at all. The best jade has the function of nourishing the soul. After the two are fused, it can be used by low-level cultivators, and the scope of use is wider. For the same reason, after years of precipitation, the phoenix blood in the jade is spiritual and mild, and it is not very useful for the supreme cultivation. Therefore, the jade of Yan has become a rare treasure for major demon clans to cultivate their descendants. …… "You think, since it will take us a long time to go back, isn't it a waste to keep this jade?" Zixuan expected Lanlan to refuse, and had already thought of an excuse. "Sister, you are already in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. Maybe one day you will have an epiphany and soon break through to the Spirit Transformation stage." Lan Lan replied. "Don't comfort me." Zi Xuan said with a smile, "It is common for cultivators to be stuck in one realm for hundreds or thousands of years, even if they are born with natural talent. It is just wishful thinking for me to break through in a short period of time!" It is certainly true that some cultivators make rapid progress in the early stages but stagnate later on.
There is one person in the Sky Fox Clan who has reached this state of cultivation - the genius Chi Lian. Zixuan and the other two have all seen Chi Lian. Chi Lian cultivated smoothly from the Qi Refining Stage all the way to the Spiritualization Stage in just one hundred years, and was hailed as the strongest young genius of the demon clan in the past ten thousand years. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Chi Lian was stuck in the Spiritualization Stage and could not break through. When Zixuan and the others participated in the space trial and saw him again, he had been cultivating for three thousand two hundred years, and Chi Lian was still in the late Spiritualization Stage at that time. The great elder of the clan once sighed that if there was no opportunity, this boy might stop here in his life, which was a pity... "That being said, you can keep it for yourself, big sister." After hearing what Zixuan said, Lanlan knew she couldn't refute it, but she still insisted, "Now that your body is not your original body, the Yanyu Blood Jade is now in use." "It's useless." Zi Xuan's expression was serious, and then her eyes dimmed again. She shook her head and continued, "When you reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage, you will understand that external forces at this time are insignificant. The key is to rely on your own understanding." "Then I can't take it either." Lan Lan was very determined, "This is what the mistress left for you..." After being stranded in the Small Thousand Worlds, Zixuan insisted on calling Lanlan and the others sisters, and they finally agreed. But Lanlan still didn't dare to violate etiquette for her mother, so she responded with the customary respectful title. "Since I've given it away, there's no reason for me to take it back." Zi Xuan forced the seven-colored treasure box back into Lan Lan's hands and said, "This jade will have a great effect on your soul and will help you break through the Nascent Soul stage. If you can reach the Spiritualization stage, our hope will be even greater when we return!" "But, however..." "More importantly, it can contain the spirit and energy, change the physical constitution, and benefit the people around you. Although I mentioned the example of the white snake before, with this piece of jade, everything will be safe..." "No, I still can't accept it." Lan Lan shook her head. "That's it, I'll just lend you this jade." Zi Xuan had no idea what to do with her stubbornness, so she said, "When you break through the Nascent Soul stage and reach the Spiritualization stage, return it to me... Even if you absorb the essence in the blood jade, it will only be a tiny part... This should be fine, right!" Lan Lan wanted to say something, but Xiao Jing pulled her aside and said, "Second sister, since the eldest sister has said so, I think you should just accept it. Besides, I believe it will subtly improve your heroic character..." "I...what's wrong with my bold personality?" Lan Lan said dissatisfiedly, "At least it's better than your reserved personality, right?" "Of course he's better than me." Xiao Jing smiled mischievously and continued, "But who is the one who punched and kicked his ex-boyfriend and beat him into a pig's head just because of a trivial matter?" When Zixuan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh - she hadn't expected this. "Of course I'll beat you if you don't obey me, but you..." "OK OK!" Zi Xuan waved her hand to interrupt Lan Lan's words, and stopped the two from exposing each other's scars in time... After Zixuan and the others' earnest persuasion, Lanlan finally accepted the Yanlang Blood Jade temporarily. Lan Lan felt that when the blood jade was taken into the body, the soul sitting cross-legged in the body quickly absorbed the power contained in it, making people feel extremely comfortable from body to soul. The three sisters chatted for a while on the bed and finally decided to turn off the lights and rest. After more than ten minutes, the room finally became quiet. Xiaojing and Lanlan fell asleep quickly, and light snoring sounds came out rhythmically from their mouths. Outside the window, all I could hear were unknown insects chirping one after another. At this time, the moon was already at its zenith. A cool breeze blew, and moonlight poured into the bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was as clear and transparent as lake water. Zi Xuan leaned sideways, opened her eyes wide, and silently watched everything in front of her... The lake was rippling with waves, and silver fish were swimming happily, chasing each other. By the lake, a tall young man in armor stood with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be appreciating the beautiful scenery, and it seemed as if he was part of the world. In the distance, Zixuan looked at the handsome man in front of her with mixed feelings, the man she loved the most. She took a deep breath and then took a step forward.
His hair fluttered in the wind, still as elegant as ever. He did not look back, but his voice came from afar - "Yue'er, you finally came to see me..." (End of this chapter)
