105: Golden Fire Ancestor

Shangguan Jing stared deeply at Mysterious Ink, a trace of imperceptible apprehension flashing in his profoundly deep eyes.

In the end, he chose not to press for details.

Because he knew very well.

Regardless of the possibility, it was enough to prove that the Black Flood Dragon before him was extraordinary.

Furthermore, digging too deeply into its secrets was not necessarily a good thing.

"Hehe..."

Adhering to the principle that it is better to leave well enough alone.

Shangguan Jing composed himself, and the gentle, jade-like smile reappeared on his face.

"This Venerable One came here for only one matter."

He looked at Mysterious Ink, his gaze full of admiration, yet it seemed to pierce through the barrier of space, landing on Ye Feiyan, who was already hundreds of miles away!

"In a single night, she consecutively killed eleven Hidden Agents."

"Among them were even seven Myriad Spirits Sect Yin Spirits at the Early Golden Core Stage."

"Such achievements and such strength truly boosted the morale of my Beast Taming Sect."

"She is a talent."

"She is a peerless Genius... capable of turning the tide in the decisive battle that will determine the survival of my Beast Taming Sect in the future."

"Therefore, this Venerable One has decided to use the full capabilities of the Beast Taming Sect to cultivate her."

"This is the purpose of my visit today."

Dedicated cultivation?!

Hearing those four words, Mysterious Ink's originally bored dragon pupils instantly lit up.

This is great news.

As a top Sect in the East Sea Region, how could the profound foundation of the Beast Taming Sect be comparable to ordinary powers?!

With them cultivating her with all their might.

He refused to believe they couldn't gather all the Materials needed to refine that mere infant transformation pill.

"You should have said so earlier."

Without thinking, Mysterious Ink immediately exposed all of Ye Feiyan's "secrets."

"My master currently possesses Golden Core Peak cultivation."

"Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment! Unprecedented throughout the ages!"

"To achieve a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, she must use the legendary... perfect quality infant transformation pill as an auxiliary aid."

"Currently, she is still missing one Tier 4 main medicinal herb called 'blood king ginseng,' and three extremely rare Tier 3 top auxiliary medicinal herbs!"

"Sect Master, you handle it."

Boom—!!!

These words were like world-destroying bombs, exploding fiercely in Shangguan Jing's heart.

His face, originally full of gentle smiles, instantly froze,

leaving him utterly stunned on the spot.

Heavenly... Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?!

The Beast Taming Sect actually... actually produced such a peerless Prodigy... the only one throughout the ages?!

He could no longer suppress the ecstasy and excitement in his heart.

"Quick!"

He looked at Mysterious Ink and said urgently in a tone that was almost a command.

"Immediately! Right now!"

"Use the Contract between you to send her a sound transmission."

"Tell her."

"Everything she needs is inside the Sect Treasury."

Mysterious Ink, upon hearing this, looked troubled.

The "Pseudo-Contract" established between him and Ye Feiyan fundamentally prevented long-distance Divine Soul sound transmissions.

However... with his current terrifying Divine Soul power at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, unilaterally transmitting some simple information through the mysterious Pseudo-Contract connection was not difficult.

Without the slightest hesitation.

His vast Divine Soul power, comparable to the deep sea, instantly communicated with the Pseudo-Contract existing between him and Ye Feiyan... A moment later.

A beautiful figure in snow-white robes tore through the sky and instantly landed in the courtyard.

Ye Feiyan had returned.

She first glanced suspiciously at Mysterious Ink, who was winking at her.

Then, she fixed her wary gaze upon Shangguan Jing.

After a moment of hesitation, she seemed to recognize his identity and gave a slight bow.

"Disciple Ye Feiyan greets Sect Master."

"Haha... No need for formalities! No need for formalities!"

Seeing this, Shangguan Jing quickly stepped forward, gently helped her up with a warm expression, his eyes looking as if he were viewing a rare treasure.

"Feiyan."

He said with immense warmth.

"The 'blood king ginseng' you need, as well as the three auxiliary medicinal herbs, are all stored within the treasury of my Beast Taming Sect."

"Just follow this Venerable One to retrieve them."

"Why go through the trouble of searching for them yourself?"

Hearing this, Ye Feiyan instantly understood.

It must have been Mysterious Ink who had sold out all her secrets.

Since things had come to this.

She said nothing more.

After all, obtaining what she had dreamed of without bloodshed saved a lot of trouble... Soon, the person and the snake followed Shangguan Jing to the most core Forbidden Ground of the Beast Taming Sect—

The Sect Treasury.

The Treasury was situated within a valley where the Spiritual Qi was most abundant.

Guarding its entrance were two lifelike, hundred-zhang tall... Azure Jade Lion Stone Sculptures.

"Disciple Shangguan Jing pays respects to Ancestor Jin Huo."

Shangguan Jing approached the two stone sculptures and bowed extremely respectfully.

The next moment.

A bizarre scene occurred, causing both Ye Feiyan and Mysterious Ink's pupils to shrink.

Crack... Crack... crisp sounds rang out.

The two stone sculptures, which were supposed to be inanimate, slowly opened their giant, lava-like eyes.

They had come alive.

They actually came to life.

And the instant those two stone sculptures awakened.

A terrifying oppressive might, strong enough to change the colors of heaven and earth, suddenly swept out.

A lethal sense of danger abruptly rose in Mysterious Ink's heart.

"Mysterious Ink, be careful."

Ye Feiyan's thought transmission, filled with unprecedented solemnity, immediately arrived.

"These are two Azure Jade Ni who have long since reached Tier 4 Peak."

"Their bodies contain an extremely faint trace of the Dragon Son Suanni Bloodline."

"You absolutely, absolutely must not expose your Primordial Black Dragon Bloodline."

"Otherwise, given the tyrannical nature of the Suanni Clan, they will definitely capture you alive at all costs."

"They will strip you of this supreme, forbidden Bloodline and integrate it into themselves."

Mysterious Ink's heart chilled upon hearing this.

He subtly nodded his massive Dragon head.

The two "Ancestor Jin Huo," who had already transformed into human forms, did not pay much attention to the two "juniors."

Their attention was focused only on Shangguan Jing.

The one on the left had transformed into a volatile old man wearing a fiery red robe.

"What is the matter?"

He asked in a booming voice.

Shangguan Jing dared not be negligent, and hurriedly offered up a token inscribed with the words "Sect Master" with both hands.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor Huo, this Disciple wishes to bring a Disciple under his command to the Treasury to retrieve one 'blood king ginseng,' as well as one stalk each of 'Nine-Bend Exquisite Grass,' 'Purple Monkey Flower,' and 'Seven-Star Leaf.'"

The old man, who was called "Old Ancestor Huo," took the token and casually glanced at it.

After seemingly confirming something.

His wrinkled finger moved slightly, tapping the massive stone door that exuded endless antiquity and weighty aura.

"Rumble—!"

The stone door opened in response!

"Thank you, Old Ancestor Huo."

Shangguan Jing took the token that flew back to him and bowed once more.

Immediately afterward, he led Ye Feiyan, preparing to enter the Treasury filled with endless Opportunities.

However.

Just as Ye Feiyan was brushing past "Old Ancestor Huo."

An ancient voice, filled with endless antiquity and a hint of doubt, sounded without warning.

"Wait a moment."
