106: Dad wants to open up wasteland

“Holy crap!”

Xiao Qingyuan let out an exclamation of fright.

He rushed forward to check.

A long time later, Xiao Qingyuan stood dumbfounded, an inexplicable expression on his face, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Logically speaking, he was making a Gourd to counter the Imperial Dynasty's Luck of the royal Family.

He was planting the gourd vine to refine Magic Treasures using the Water Refining Method, to enrich the Immortal Family, or to exchange for Spirit Stones.

But now… [The Gourd ran onto the vine, but it’s still connected to the Clan Protecting Grand Array, making the gourd vine itself an array core. Is this right?]

[The gourd vine was originally for making a fortune, but now all its nutrients are being absorbed by the slaying immortal gourd. Is this good?]

[And the slaying immortal gourd, although the current situation can allow you to mend your Foundation, you’ve sealed your mouth! Where’s my Flying Dagger? My Dagger hasn’t gotten on board yet! (#`O′)!]

Xiao Qingyuan bit his lip tightly, his eyebrows and eyes scrunched together.

As the owner, he could interrupt the Gourd at any time.

But the Gourd had finally climbed up; if he picked it, could it be reattached?

He knew.

Probably not!

So the best solution was to wait for the Gourd to mature up there and for it to come down on its own.

Anyway, the slaying immortal gourd was already linked to his Luck.

For now, he could still expand the Immortal Family’s Luck and complete the third step of Luck accumulation.

Given the quality of the slaying immortal gourd, it would likely require an immense amount of Luck to complete its final Fusion and advancement.

At that time, the slaying immortal gourd could trigger a Treasure Tribulation, unconditionally advancing one rank.

For now, the Gourd could still receive Luck here.

The most it meant was that without the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger, themiscellaneous Luck would be harder to deal with.

But it was not a big deal.

However, his plan was interrupted!

He had created this slaying immortal gourd precisely to give the royal Family a stab when he turned against them.

The scene at that time would surely be spectacular; he was extremely looking forward to it.

Xiao Qingyuan: I don't eat beef jpg!

But now it only had the most basic defensive function.

During this period, he could only use ordinary methods to deal with the royal Family.

He would have to humble himself.

Perhaps he even needed to quickly take up a post in the Zhenwu Guard and go through the motions.

To lower the royal Family’s vigilance.

Making them believe they could always control him.

And not take him seriously.

Moreover, he didn't know how long it would take for the Gourd to mature.

Wuwu… he was so pitiful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan carefully inspected the gourd vine.

He still didn't know what the mysterious mineral vein beneath was, providing such immense power to the gourd vine.

All sorts of nutrients and energy were being poured into the slaying immortal gourd as if they were free.

He was truly afraid the gourd vine would exhaust itself to death.

More importantly.

His Five Elements Escape Technique could penetrate Restrictions, yet he couldn't penetrate a mere mineral vein!

Good heavens.

It was as if it had transcended the Three Realms and was not within the Five Elements~~

No!

It was also possible that the secret beneath was too great, forming a natural Restriction.

And a natural Restriction comparable to a third-tier or above defensive grand array.

Holy cow!

He also didn't know how the gourd vine’s roots managed to descend.

Why they were able to go down.

Which meant he didn’t know what was down there or how much of it there was.

He only knew that both the gourd vine and the slaying immortal gourd were absorbing happily.

All the energy obtained was poured into the slaying immortal gourd, so he should forget about the idea of the gourd vine nurturing other Gourds to sell for money for now.

Source of wealth -1… Xiao Qingyuan was on the verge of tears.

After a long period of frustration in the mineral vein, his figure flashed.

He returned to the Immortal Family with empty hands.

It was very depressing.

At this moment, he didn't know that, among the four steps, the most difficult was precisely to make the Treasure of Luck develop sentience.

Ordinary Lifebound Treasures were fine; after a Golden Core Cultivator reached Nascent Soul, they could generally develop some sentience.

The most top-tier Lifebound Treasures, at Soul Transformation, could even break through the limits of sentience and begin to develop faint tool spirits.

Especially Sword Cultivators, they were experts in this Dao.

Each of their Lifebound Flying Swords was played with exceptional skill.

But Treasures of Luck were different.

The more powerful a Treasure of Luck, the more difficult it was for it to develop sentience.

The difference between a Treasure of Luck with sentience and one without was immeasurable.

It was rare for even seasoned Nascent Soul Immortal Families to make their Luck Magic Treasures develop sentience, even a faint trace.

Even if they did.

It would require the efforts of a dozen, or even dozens, of generations.

Spending thousands of years managing the Immortal Family, only then could a tiny bit of sentience emerge.

And Treasures of Luck with sentience were very powerful.

Just like the Su Family’s Treasure of Luck, it was called the Ultimate Treasure of Luck.

Among the dispersed clansmen, anyone with Su Family Bloodline could be instantly detected by Earthly Foundation Establishment.

It was that miraculous.

The Immortal Family’s Ultimate Treasure of Luck could even directly sense all newly born Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Roots in its dominion.

Its sentience was far more powerful than the Su Family’s.

It was only because of Xiao Qingyuan’s Heavenly Foundation Establishment, which was undetectable and uncalculable, favored by the Heavenly Dao, that he was spared.

Otherwise, he would have been sought out long ago.

Not to mention, legend has it that the strongest form of a Treasure of Luck is to possess a true tool spirit.

That was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

And Xiao Qingyuan had stumbled into it by chance.

He coincidentally triggered the formation conditions of a high-grade Water Refining Method, naturally nurtured by heaven and earth.

This was the strongest method for nurturing sentience.

And he triggered this state before the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger was added.

Only then did a super-powerful Treasure of Luck of the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger’s caliber have a glimmer of possibility to develop sentience.

Otherwise, everything would have been for naught.

But now there was no such problem; Xiao Qingyuan just didn't know it.

At this moment, he returned to the Immortal Family feeling quite depressed.

With the grand array laid out on Spoon Mountain.

When the upper layers of profound iron and Star Iron Mine were all excavated, there would be no need to worry about the mineral vein below being discovered.

At that time, the grand array, with the slaying immortal gourd as its core, would firmly suppress the mineral vein below.

Not even a Treasure Seeking Rat or a high-level Spirit Seeker would be able to find it.

Just as he was thinking this, he was about to go home to see Qin Hongniang, who was about to give birth.

Unexpectedly, he was intercepted halfway by his father, Xiao Yance, who had a somewhat solemn expression.

“What?” Xiao Qingyuan was full of shock: “Father, you’re going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range? No!”

Xiao Qingyuan flatly refused.

Are you kidding? There were second-tier Yao Beasts in the mountains, whose strength was comparable to Foundation Establishment.

Foundation Establishment was Foundation Establishment; their magic power had liquefied.

Even the weakest Foundation Establishment Cultivator was not someone a Qi Realm Cultivator could challenge.

Xiao Yance’s face was full of helplessness.

His son had grown up; now he had to apply to his son for everything he did.

Was this right?

But Xiao Yance adapted quickly, and his tone was slightly helpless as he said, “News just came back last night that someone discovered the clan territories of the Xie Family’s three old-brand first-class Immortal Families in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

The result…”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yance’s tone suddenly paused.

“As a result, the clansmen of the three Families were all massacred, a ghastly sight, with no survivors.

Now, rumors outside say that this matter was done by you, Qingyuan.”

“Alas…” Xiao Yance suddenly sighed, saying, “Now the only way is for this father to enter the ruins of the three Families, gather manpower, and build a city on the spot, using this method to show an attitude to outsiders.

If this matter was truly done by our Xiao Clan, we would not give up the three clan territories that possess Red Stone Mine.

But don’t worry.

The Foundations of the three Families’ defensive grand arrays are still intact.

The culprit did not enter the Immortal Family by breaking the array.

It must have been an acquaintance.

They also did not destroy the array Foundation when they left.

It is a second-tier defensive Magic Array with extremely strong concealment capabilities.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yance even smiled reassuringly and said, “Coincidentally, this father’s next plan was to manage Medicine Immortal Valley.

Now that something has happened in this fiefdom, with the pioneering order, we can reasonably and legally carry out pioneering.

Furthermore, the places chosen by the three Families are not inferior to Medicine Immortal Valley, so managing there might even lead to faster development.”
