Bidding farewell to the giant ice, Qian Duoduo exited the underground world and returned to the manor. He handed the Cold Flame Snake eggs to Huang Guiren, asking him to build a special Snake Garden for hatching and breeding them.
Back in his Immortal Cave, Qian Duoduo eagerly entered the Artifact Refining Room and began refining the golden ox spear.
After the golden ox spear was refined and shaped, a layer of Cold Flame Snake skin was added to its exterior.
Manli bent the golden ox spear, and when he released it, the golden ox spear sprang back, perfectly achieving the desired flexibility.
Holding the improved golden ox spear in his hand, Qian Duoduo wanted to immediately show it off to Yu Yixiang.
However, he thought that it would be even more impressive if all seven hundred Golden Ox were armed with Soaring Overlord and trained into a Golden Ox Army. So, he calmed down and spent two full days refining a thousand sets of Soaring Overlord.
As Qian Duoduo was heading to the Golden Bull Garden, Huang Guiren arrived at his Immortal Cave.
He was now capable of handling matters independently and usually wouldn't bother Qian Duoduo unless it was something major.
His initiative visit this time surely meant something important.
“Junior Brother, you haven’t gone to the Sect Law Inheritance yet?”
“What’s the rush? What’s wrong?”
“I just heard that Caizhu obtained a great fortune on Preaching Mountain, called something like Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
Two days ago, more than ten Senior Brothers who had achieved The Righteous Foundation Establishment all received the Sect Law Inheritance. If Junior Brother doesn’t go soon, all the good ones will be snatched up.”
Huang Guiren had gained a lot more weight than before, and he spoke more than before too.
His reminder made Qian Duoduo remember the Sect Law Inheritance.
“Does this thing get snatched?”
“I heard so. It also depends on fate.” Huang Guiren wasn't entirely certain.
“I thought I’d strike first to gain the advantage; the best Legacy should go to Junior Brother.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Qian Duoduo handed the thousand sets of Soaring Overlord to Huang Guiren.
“You keep this equipment. Prepare to recruit five hundred riders for the entire sect, those at Condensing Qi Stage Level Eight and Ninth Level of Qi Condensation are both acceptable.”
Stepping onto the Golden Rooster Sword, Qian Duoduo flew to Preaching Mountain.
When he entered the back mountain, an invisible Formation barrier stopped him.
A Spiritual Awareness swept over Qian Duoduo’s token, and after confirming his identity, the Formation barrier disappeared, allowing Qian Duoduo to enter the mysterious back mountain.
Normally, only the Sect Leader could set foot in the back mountain of Preaching Mountain.
Qian Duoduo walked on the mountain path in the back mountain, feeling an extremely rich Spiritual Qi. On both sides of the path, precious spiritual plant were cultivated, far surpassing his manor in both quantity and quality.
Guided by a powerful Spiritual Awareness, Qian Duoduo walked deeper into the back mountain.
At the end of the mountain path was a nine-colored large tree.
The large tree was several hundred zhang tall, with over a hundred bird nests of various colors on it.
The bird nests were built from precious spiritual plant roots and stems, with Spiritual Qi and precious light flowing around them like water.
Qian Duoduo’s Spiritual Awareness recognized this large tree.
The Legacy token had introduced it; this large tree was the law tree.
Standing on the large tree, Qian Duoduo’s Spiritual Vein automatically began to circulate, first displaying the Golden Light Technique.
—This was both to re-verify his identity and to observe his cultivation.
When Qian Duoduo’s Spiritual Vein gushed out abundant Spiritual Qi, condensing ten complete copper threads in one go, which then transformed into a complete yuanbao, ten bird nests poked out their heads.
They were Spirit Birds with human-like eyes.
Each Spirit Birds held a Jade Slip in its beak.
The Jade Slip contained the Legacy Cultivation Technique of the Refining Spirit Sect.
The second to activate was the Turning Stone into Gold Art.
The first, second, and third layers opened in sequence, and Spiritual Qi flowed through the Spiritual Vein like a swift wind.
Another dozen or so Spirit Birds poked out their heads.
Before these Spirit Birds could fly down from their nests, Qian Duoduo’s Everlasting Wealth and Honor Cultivation Technique began to circulate.
The Spiritual Vein emitted light, changing from light green, pinkish-blue, and snow-blue to bean-green, plum-green, and holly-green, then progressing to sky-blue, lake-blue, and sea-blue.
By the time the dark cyan color was fully displayed, the large tree was already covered in dense Spirit Birds.
Each Spirit Birds held a Jade Slip in its beak.
The Spirit Birds vied to fly over and deliver the Jade Slips, but because Qian Duoduo’s cultivation had not yet finished displaying, the law tree prevented them from flying over, making the Spirit Birds frantically flap their wings.
The commotion of the law tree attracted several Grand Elder’s Spiritual Awareness to fall upon Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo immediately felt as if he was being seen through completely again.
Of course, his Golden Toad at his waist was an exception.
“Golden Toad, shed your shell!”
As Qian Duoduo murmured, all the bird nests on the law tree vibrated, and gusts of wind swept out from the tree.
