Chapter 146: Peerless Powerhouse, Why Steal Chickens!!!

Lightning flickered in Shen Qingyuan's hand as the thunder dao rhyme he had drawn from the thunder sound bead danced at his fingertips, emitting a low roar.

He raised his other hand and lightly hooked his slender fingers toward the wutong treasure tree.

*Crack—*

A wutong branch about a foot long and as thick as a baby's arm broke off from the tree and landed steadily in his hand.

The branch was golden-red, its surface shimmering with a faint light, with subtle flame patterns wandering within it, exuding a warm and ancient aura.

The branches of the wutong treasure tree were already excellent Materials for Artifact Refining.

Ten-thousand-year Wutong Wood, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to drive any Artifact Refiner mad.

Shen Qingyuan held the wutong wood in his left hand and made a hollow grip with the fingers of his right. That thunder dao rhyme condensed and compressed in his palm, turning into a fist-sized ball of lightning.

The lightning was blazing and crackling, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

Saint Xutian's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

He could clearly feel that the power contained in that ball of lightning was even purer and more violent than the Origin thunder dao rhyme of his thunder sound bead!

"Senior is planning to..."

Before he could finish, Shen Qingyuan moved.

His right hand slowly pressed onto the wutong wood, and the ball of lightning seeped into the wood like flowing water.

*Vrrr—*

The wutong wood suddenly erupted with a blinding golden-red light!

Within the light, lightning flickered as flame runes and lightning runes intertwined, carving profound and complex patterns onto the wood.

Those patterns moved like living creatures, eventually condensing into an ancient Thunder Seal on the surface of the wutong wood.

The Thunder Seal was about the size of a palm and deep blue in color. Lightning patterns faintly flowed across its surface, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

The golden-red light of the wutong wood itself intertwined with the deep blue lightning of the Thunder Seal, forming a magnificent picture.

The entire process took no more than three breaths of time.

Shen Qingyuan withdrew his hand and stood there, looking down at the thoroughly transformed wutong wood in his hand, nodding slightly.

"Not bad."

He casually tossed the wutong wood toward Saint Xutian.

Saint Xutian subconsciously reached out to catch it.

It felt warm and cool to the touch. A wave of gentle spiritual energy surged from the wutong wood, flowing through his palm into his body.

And within that spiritual energy, there was also a hint of domineering yet gentle thunder dao rhyme!

That dao rhyme was even purer and deeper than the dao rhyme in his thunder sound bead!

"This..."

Saint Xutian's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

He could clearly feel that this wutong wood not only contained the wood-attribute dao rhyme of the wutong treasure tree itself but also fused with the thunder dao rhyme of the thunder sound bead.

The two dao rhymes were perfectly fused, forming a brand new and even more mysterious aura of the Great Dao!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was also dumbfounded.

His eyes were wide as he stared intently at the golden-red and deep blue intertwined wutong wood in the Old Ancestor's hand, his mouth agape with a look of pure shock on his face.

Take a piece of wood.

Grab a bolt of lightning.

Press them together casually.

And a treasure is finished?

And it’s a treasure containing the aura of the Great Dao?!

What kind of method is this?

"Senior, this... this is too precious..." Saint Xutian's voice was trembling as he held the wutong wood in both hands like a rare treasure.

Shen Qingyuan lay back lazily on the soft couch, hands behind his head, his tone nonchalant: "Just a little toy, keep it."

A little toy?

Saint Xutian's mouth twitched.

A Senior is indeed a Senior!

A supreme treasure containing the aura of the Great Dao is just a "little toy" in Senior's mouth?

He looked down at the wutong wood in his hands, ecstatic.

Although this wutong wood looked simple and unadorned, he could clearly feel that the dao rhyme contained within would be of immense benefit to his cultivation.

He had been stuck in the Saint Realm for over a thousand years, unable to touch the threshold of a Breakthrough.

But the Great Dao aura in this wutong wood allowed him to faintly sense the opportunity to take a step further!

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Saint Xutian bowed deeply, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stood to the side, watching the Old Ancestor look so excited he was almost crying, and felt completely numb.

The Old Ancestor is a Saint!

One of the existences standing at the very Peak of the entire Southern Region!

Usually high and mighty and incomparably majestic, even Elders of the Asking Dao Realm would be trembling with fear upon seeing him.

But now, the Old Ancestor was actually this excited?

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi swallowed hard, his gaze falling on the wutong wood in Saint Xutian's hand, his eyes full of envy.

That is a supreme treasure containing the aura of the Great Dao!

"Alright." Shen Qingyuan waved his hand. "If there's nothing else, you may leave."

Saint Xutian hurriedly said, "Senior, next month is the grand assembly of our Yinxian Village. If Senior has time, you are welcome to visit Yinxian Village as a guest."

Saying that, he took out an invitation and handed it to Shen Qingyuan.

Shen Qingyuan took it casually and set it aside.

He wasn't particularly interested in such matters.

Naturally, he didn't look at it much.

Seeing this, Saint Xutian said no more and led Great Elder Yun Zhongzi out of the Wutong Garden.

After leaving the Shen Family, Saint Xutian suddenly turned and instructed Great Elder Yun Zhongzi: "After we return, raise more Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's footsteps paused, his face full of confusion.

"Old Ancestor, if we raise too many Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens, our daily cultivation resources won't be enough."

Raising chickens wasn't a simple task.

Especially in recent years, with the lack of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the scarcity of spiritual items, wanting to raise more Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens was also a difficult thing for their Yinxian Village.

Saint Xutian frowned. "If resources aren't enough, we can find a way. We must raise more chickens!"

Speaking of this, he felt a bit disappointed in them. "Usually, those youngsters at home only care about cultivation and don't know to raise more. This is the foundation of our Yinxian Village!"

He continued rambling, "The reason our Yinxian Village could become one of the Three Great Holy Lands is because of this chicken-raising craft..."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi felt somewhat helpless; he naturally knew these things.

He just couldn't understand why the Old Ancestor would suddenly emphasize this.

Seemingly understanding Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's confusion, Saint Xutian glanced in the direction of the Shen Family and whispered: "If I'm not mistaken, those chickens lost previously were all sto... taken by that Senior."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's body stiffened, his face full of astonishment.

He never expected that the chickens lost previously were actually related to Shen Qingyuan.

Immediately after, he felt a bit indignant.

A dignified peerless powerhouse, why would he steal his chickens!!!
