146: Yin Zhisen is here, hand over the child to me!

"Stones? Spirit Stones?" Duobao Rat's expression was dazed, still in a state of not having fully recovered from his hangover. "Why should I return what I took by my own ability?"

Xiao Qingyuan felt the voice in his mind, and the communication between him and the rat was incredibly smooth.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed, remembering that the Netherworld Banner required him to ask for the Yao Beast's name.

He immediately cast a burst of spiritual power, dispelling the alcohol fumes and completely waking it up.

Duobao Rat finally reacted.

He looked left and right.

Then a series of sharp, explosive noises echoed in Xiao Qingyuan's mind.

"Ah ah ah, what's going on? How was I contracted?"

"I'll break it!"

However, the anomaly in his Divine Soul remained unresponsive.

"I'll run!"

Duobao Rat scurried away in a panic.

However, his body was uncontrollably stuck in place.

Then, he involuntarily spat out all the Spirit Stones he had swallowed.

Xiao Qingyuan was delighted at the sight.

He collected the Spirit Stones. There was nothing he could do; besides the fifty thousand Spirit Stones remaining in the well, his pockets were now emptier than his Face.

He could no longer look down on these ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Just as he was about to say something else,

Suddenly,

A large patch of dark clouds drifted from afar.

Immediately after, an irresistible pressure crashed down upon him. Even he felt this pressure was incredibly powerful, unmatched, clearly more than a hundred times stronger than the imperial decree Li Wencai had held last time. Xiao Qingyuan's expression changed in alarm.

His smile completely vanished.

It was replaced by a look of profound solemnity.

Golden Core!!!

This was definitely a true Golden Core!

"How could a Golden Core suddenly appear here? Could it be the imperial family's Golden Core has arrived?"

He quickly activated the clan-protecting Formation to its maximum, and also retrieved Duobao Rat into his Spirit Beast Pouch.

He soared into the air.

He saw an old man stepping on clouds from the southwest, his Face filled with anger.

"A mere Mortal minor clan, situated in a remote area. No wonder Song Shijie specifically sought me out, how detestable!"

As soon as his voice fell, he had already arrived nearby.

He used some unknown Spell, amplifying his pressure, and in an instant, all the Mortals in the city fainted.

At a glance, the once peaceful Qingxuan City had instantly transformed into a living hell.

His tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as he looked at Xiao Qingyuan, speaking faintly as if looking at a dead man: "Where is the Earthly Spiritual Root? Hand him over!"

What schemes, what strategies? Yin Zhisen declared that this time, they were unnecessary.

On the contrary, he preferred to go to the imperial capital, to the top aristocratic families, because only there could he reap sufficient benefits.

What he disliked most were these small families.

They couldn't pique his interest in the slightest.

He only wanted to finish this matter quickly, take the child back to the Sect.

And finally, crush these annoying insects.

Xiao Qingyuan's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"Immortal Master, are you from an Immortal Sect? To be honest, my elder brother is also an Immortal Sect Disciple. May I ask for your esteemed name, Senior?"

"Wait a moment!" Yin Zhisen interrupted, forcing a smile. "This old man is Yin Zhisen. An Immortal Sect member? Then may I ask which Junior Brother the young friend is referring to?"

Xiao Qingyuan quickly replied, "My eldest brother is named Xiao Qingfeng. I wonder if, for the sake of my elder brother's Face..."

"How dare you!" Yin Zhisen's smile vanished. The Myriad Gods Mountain has hundreds of thousands of Disciples, but only a little over two thousand Inner Sect Disciples. He knew them all, and there was no Xiao Qingfeng!

He immediately changed his demeanor, pointing at Xiao Qingyuan's nose and cursing:

"A mere Mortal Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet you dare to deceive me, Immortal Master!

You have a child who was just born in your family, right?

I, Immortal Master, have traveled thousands of miles to bestow an Opportunity upon you.

That child has an Earthly Spiritual Root. Hand him over to me, and I will take him to join the Immortal Sect."

After speaking, he directly activated a Divine Ability using his pupils, and golden light immediately shone from his eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

These women... No wonder this small clan could also produce an Earthly Spiritual Root. It turns out the mother herself has an Earthly Spiritual Root.

It's just a pity, her life force isn't much, she doesn't have many days left to live. Well, it's fine, I can take her back to play with for a while.

Then, his eyes darted around and he said, "I can forgive your offense. Considering your difficult Cultivation, how about I take you as a servant and bring you to Myriad Gods Mountain? Do you still need to consider anything?

This is a heaven-sent Opportunity!"

"Myriad Gods Mountain, is it? Damn it, you're going too far!"

Xiao Qingyuan saw the evil intent in his eyes. This truly wasn't even an act anymore. His chest burned with fury. This fellow actually dared to use a Spell to peer into his backyard.

His uncles had gone into the mountains to clear land, and even his aunts and female relatives had been seen by his pupil Spell.

Though it was daytime, it was an extreme offense.

It was clear he didn't consider them human at all.

However, with power on the other side, he had no choice but to endure.

He could only suppress his anger and speak, "Immortal Master, since you are a Senior from an Immortal Sect, I do not wish for my child to join an Immortal Sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Zhisen's pupils suddenly widened.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Qingyuan braced himself and repeated, "I only wish for my child to live peacefully and happily by my side. I do not wish for him to join an Immortal Sect. I hope Immortal Master will grant my wish!"

With that, he silently typed Yin Zhisen's name onto the Netherworld Banner.

At the same time, he quickly called out to the reincarnation seal.

"Didn't you say there would be a surprise for this sacrifice? No matter the cost, kill this Golden Core for me!"

However, the next moment, sweat finally appeared on Xiao Qingyuan's forehead. At the critical moment, the reincarnation seal was completely unresponsive.

His heart gradually sank.

"reincarnation seal!"

"reincarnation seal!"

However, the reincarnation seal remained unmoved.

After a long while, a faint message finally emerged.

The reincarnation seal cannot directly participate in the Karma of this Realm.

Xiao Qingyuan immediately became anxious.

"Not entangled in this Realm's Karma? Then why did the Talismans and Magic Treasures from before work?"

The reincarnation seal explained again:

Whether it was Cultivation Techniques or Magic Treasures, they were all cultivated or refined by himself, belonging to Xiao Qingyuan. It was merely an equivalent exchange.

All the Talismans had also transformed into original profound talismans, which Xiao Qingyuan had created on his own accord.

It had not participated in any way.

Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll give you both of my Reincarnation powers. Give me a Tier 3 Talisman that I can save to transform into a Golden Core Realm original profound talisman later."

However, the reincarnation seal directly refused.

Xiao Qingyuan's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"If that's the case, I want a defensive Magic Treasure that can block him for at least a month. This wouldn't be considered entanglement in Karma, right?"

This time, the reincarnation seal did not refuse.

Two streams of Reincarnation power suddenly vanished.

This time, Xiao Qingyuan clearly saw that one hook of Reincarnation power shot upwards, while the other actually shot directly towards the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range next to them.

The next moment, a Tier 3 Formation Legacy suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, named "Introduction to Divine Formation Masters: A Complete Guide."

The other item was a Tier 3 Dragon Pearl of a flood Dragon, with a special Talisman affixed to its surface.

"This is the surprise you said would definitely satisfy me?"

Xiao Qingyuan was furious.

The "Introduction to Divine Formation Masters" was good. It contained all the knowledge related to the Dao of Formations, including refining Formations and setting up Formations.

However, except for one defensive Formation among them, all other knowledge could only be gradually comprehended by himself.

Evidently, the comprehension of that defensive Formation was the 'surprise' that would definitely satisfy him.

The other Dragon Pearl, a flood Dragon's Dragon Pearl, was even more clearly taken directly from somewhere in the mountains.

Its distance from them was extremely close.

And it was a flood Dragon Pearl that had been dim for half a year, clearly from a flood Dragon that had died countless years ago.

The reincarnation seal conveyed an idea, self-righteously.

Forget about the value.

Just tell me if you're satisfied or not!

"I'll be damned..."

But before Xiao Qingyuan could curse aloud,

Yin Zhisen was already enraged beyond measure:

"Don't you know, it's just an Earthly Spiritual Root, yet I, Immortal Master, personally came to ask for it, and you actually dare to make me lose Face?"

He revealed a sinister and terrifying smile: "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the child, seal your Cultivation, and return to the Immortal Sect with me. Do you agree or not...?"
