76: Chapter 76 Carrying Clouds and Plucking Flowers, Asking Immortals in the Clouds

Jiang Xuan looked down at the jade box in his hands, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily.

This was a treasure left behind by a Nascent Soul expert before leaving!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his hands trembling slightly, and carefully opened the jade box.

Taking a closer look, he saw half a mask lying quietly inside.

The mask was as thin as a cicada's wing, and its material was neither gold nor jade.

Its entire body shimmered with wisps of ethereal Nine Heavens cloud Qi, and its edges were adorned with several vivid, brilliant flying flowers.

Jiang Xuan held it in his palm; it was light as nothing, and his nose caught only a cold, cloudy breath interwoven with a rich, exotic fragrance.

He couldn't wait to bring up the System panel to identify it.

The next second, Jiang Xuan's eyes widened, and he took a sharp breath of mountain air.

[Grade 6 Spirit Treasure: Carrying Clouds and Plucking Flowers]

[Carrying Clouds and Plucking Flowers, Asking the Dao in the Clouds.]

[It is rumored that a great expert above the clouds crafted this wonder to honor a promise to an old friend.]

[Thus, they ascended to the Nine Heavens to capture clouds and roamed the four seas to pluck flowers.]

[After years of repetition, it finally reached Major Achievement today, living up to the wait.]

[Function: When placed on the face, one can transform their appearance at will.]

[Conceals the aura around the body, completely blocking all Divine Sense detection.]

[Once activated, the body is surrounded by captured clouds, capable of deflecting and neutralizing any incoming Spells or Divine Abilities.]

[Furthermore, dancing flying flowers can gather and disperse like formless swords, transforming into thousands of shapes at will to slay enemies invisibly.]

[One can also step on the captured clouds to soar into the sky with astonishing escape speed.]

[Truly a top-tier offensive and defensive supreme treasure!]

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth wide, his mind buzzing with a "hum."

A Grade 6 Spirit Treasure!

This was a genuine Grade 6 Spirit Treasure!

This is way too extravagant!

You have to know, even though he could exchange for treasures in his System store using contribution points.

A regular Grade 1 Spirit Treasure cost ten contribution points.

Reaching Grade 2 required thirty points, and if it reached Grade 6, the price would be as high as two thousand four hundred and thirty contribution points!

As a result, just by going out and fishing a jade pendant out of the water, he had essentially gotten a Grade 6 supreme treasure worth over two thousand contribution points for free!

Jiang Xuan looked around like a thief, and after confirming no one was watching, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He hurriedly studied how to use the mask.

He discovered that he was only at the Qi Refining Stage 9 Realm, and his spiritual power foundation was too thin.

With this Carrying Clouds and Plucking Flowers mask on his face, even with all his might, he could only activate a faint glimmer of spiritual light.

Currently, he could barely use the basic functions of "transforming appearance" and "blocking Divine Sense."

As for those Heaven-Defying abilities like cloud defense and flying flower attacks, he couldn't enable any of them.

But even so, for the current Jiang Xuan, this was already a huge help!

He didn't know why that Senior Wuchen was so generous, but there was no reason to spit out benefits once they were in his stomach.

He would repay it if there was an opportunity in the future.

He calmly tucked the mask into his Storage Pouch, his steps becoming lighter as he walked back along the mountain path.

While passing by a rain shelter pavilion built halfway up the mountain, Jiang Xuan glanced over casually.

He saw a young girl of about sixteen sitting on a stone bench under the pavilion.

The girl was wearing a pink Daoist robe, pink jade ornaments on her head, and her hair was styled in a cute double-ring bun.

Her eyebrows were curved like autumn water, and her glances revealed an aura like an orchid in an empty valley.

When Jiang Xuan passed by, he happened to hear her resting her chin in her hands and sighing softly:

"Why have so many powerful Loose Cultivators come to this Ascension Valley..."

"It seems I have no chance to get the foundation establishment pill..."

After the girl finished muttering, she noticed Jiang Xuan approaching.

Their eyes met, and the girl politely nodded at him slightly as a greeting.

Jiang Xuan also smiled and nodded in return; this young girl was actually already at the Peak of Qi Refining!

He then strode away. While walking, Jiang Xuan pondered the magical effects of the mask in his mind, and his steps suddenly stopped.

A bold and somewhat interesting thought flashed through his mind.

Isn't Wu Yingshan looking for Su Yue everywhere?

If Su Yue appeared swaggering at the Ascension Conference, would that attract him here?

In that case, he could give him a wrong signal.

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth, and he turned and ducked into a hidden, deserted corner of the mountain rocks.

He quietly took out the Carrying Clouds and Plucking Flowers mask and placed it over his face.

Then he took out a Qi-replenishing Spirit Pill and threw it into his mouth, his internal Spirit Fusion and Qi Tranquility Cultivation Technique running wildly.

He poured his Qi Refining Stage 9 spiritual power continuously into the mask.

With the injection of Spiritual Qi, a soft glimmer appeared on the surface of the mask.

With a thought, Jiang Xuan followed the appearance in his memory, and his figure changed rapidly amidst a distortion of light and shadow.

The light dissipated.

The original Jiang Xuan in the green shirt was gone.

In his place was a bright and beautiful woman wearing a white brocade robe, with a tall figure and a slender waist like a willow.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, and her features were full of heroic spirit.

It was none other than Su Yue!

Jiang Xuan lowered his head and looked at his own curvy figure with great curiosity.

He really couldn't resist his curiosity, reached out to pull open a gap in the white collar, and glanced inside.

Immediately after, Jiang Xuan was so shocked his eyes almost popped out.

This mask is simply divine! It's exactly the same!

Even that faint red mole on the left side of Su Yue's full, snow-white chest was perfectly manifested!

Jiang Xuan hurriedly pulled his collar together and coughed twice.

Only then did he, disguised as Su Yue, walk out of the corner swaggeringly and head straight towards the direction of the arena.

It must be said that Su Yue's cold and bright appearance, combined with her tall and graceful figure, was truly too lethal.

When Jiang Xuan was a male Cultivator just now, walking on the road would at most attract a few female Cultivators to glance over shyly.

How could any male Cultivator notice him.

But now that he had changed into Su Yue's appearance and was walking back, along the way.

The gazes of those male Cultivators around him were like they were sucked in, all glancing at him in unison.

There were even a few young male Cultivators who considered themselves dashing, who deliberately straightened their backs and revealed confident smiles.

Jiang Xuan got goosebumps from being watched; a bunch of lecherous guys, can't they be as noble as this shopkeeper!

He ignored the surrounding gazes and walked straight to the spot where he had been watching the arena competition and stopped.

Before he could even stand still, he heard a deliberately low voice from beside him.

He saw a male Cultivator with a slender figure, his chin held high, and a sharp, angular profile.

He was currently waving a folding fan, sighing to himself:

"Can't we have a literary duel?"

"This kind of fighting and killing is really not elegant at all."

After speaking, he "swished" his folding fan shut and turned his head.

Looking at Jiang Xuan, who was disguised as Su Yue, with what he considered to be a dashing manner, a self-perceived charming smile on his lips:

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Jiang Xuan's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he rolled his eyes in his heart.

He followed Su Yue's style from his memory, lifted his chin slightly, and didn't even glance to the side, treating the person standing beside him as a breathing wooden stake.

Nie Liang's smug smile instantly froze, his hand holding the folding fan stopping in mid-air, having made a big fool of himself.

He could only sheepishly put away his fan, holding back his breath and saying nothing more.

Just at this moment, on the circular red arena ahead, the roaring sound of Spell collisions suddenly intensified.

Two figures, one green and one gray, each retreated several zhang, glaring at each other, arguing loudly, neither willing to concede or step down from the arena.
