Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Chapter 135 Wen Tianhe's Interrogation

Upon hearing this, Nan Longyue looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Managing the fishpond!? Senior Xu keeping me here... that's not what you meant, is it?

But she only snapped back to reality after hearing the second half of Chen Xu's sentence.

The immense shock instantly overshadowed the previous unease and embarrassment.

"Did I hear that right? Senior Xu said... he can help me solve the problem of my slow cultivation progress?!"

This was a shadow that had lingered in her heart for many years. How did Senior Xu find out about it?!

"Senior... Senior?!" Nan Longyue's voice trembled as she stared intently at Chen Xu.

"Are you serious? You really can solve my problem of slow progress in cultivation?"

Chen Xu nodded slightly, his tone calm: "I am somewhat confident."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Nan Longyue's excited expression, and continued:

"However, whether I will help you or not depends on your future performance."

Upon hearing this, Nan Longyue bowed deeply without hesitation, her voice filled with excitement:

"I, Longyue, will certainly do my utmost to manage the fishpond and live up to the expectations placed upon me by my predecessors!"

At that moment, she couldn't wait to jump into the fishpond to prove her worth.

Chen Xu was not surprised by this reaction. After all, anyone who had gone through something like this would desperately try to grasp at any glimmer of hope.

The floating island courtyard was spacious, and he casually pointed to an unused room not far from the fishpond: "You can stay here for now."

Nan Longyue quickly replied, "Yes, Senior!"

Chen Xu said no more, turned around and returned to his cave, activated the layers of restrictions, and began to examine the gains of this trip.

First, there were the Xuan Shui Ling Turtle hatchlings and Chen Ze Fruits obtained through the auction.

Under the influence of the [Dual Purpose], the Shenze Fruit split into two.

The pale golden patterns on the shell of the timid Xuan Shui Ling Turtle cub had become clearer and deeper.

Although Chen Xu was not clear on the specific areas that had been enhanced, he could sense a significant improvement in the life force and spiritual energy fluctuations.

I plan to throw it directly into the fishpond later and leave it to Nanlongyue to take care of.

Next, Chen Xu took out two more items, one being the Nine-Hole Flame Jade Cauldron.

And that grayish-white jade slip containing information about the ancient treasure.

As expected, both items underwent a qualitative change under the influence of the dual purpose.

However, after the Nine-Hole Flame Jade Cauldron was strengthened, it actually split into a smaller cauldron.

The two cauldrons, one large and one small, were connected by their auras, clearly having transformed into a pair of strange twin cauldrons.

Its specific effects were unclear, and Chen Xu's mind stirred slightly.

It was directly transferred to Xiao Jin through the jade slip space, so that Xiao Jin could handle it himself.

Then, his gaze fell on the grayish-white jade slip, and he probed into it with his divine sense.

……

After a long while, Chen Xu slowly withdrew his divine sense, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.

The number of ancient treasures recorded has increased dramatically from forty-one to eighty-one.

Furthermore, it completes the detailed methods for refining and activating each ancient treasure, and its value is likely far beyond Chen Xu's imagination.

Soon, Chen Xu learned the detailed information about the three ancient treasures he had acquired.

【Spirit-Catching Net】: Contains the power of spatial confinement.

Once unleashed, it can ignore most defensive spells, directly enveloping the target, sealing their spiritual power and the surrounding space, making it difficult to break free.

It also has a very strong restraining effect on spirits.

If the person activating it has sufficient spiritual power, they can even imprison the nascent soul.

The method of refining: It requires mixing one's own essence and blood with the tears of a deep-sea black whale, and nurturing it day and night with one's divine sense for several years before it can be initially refined.

【Basket of a Thousand Flowers】: It can collect all things, and is especially effective against wood-type magical artifacts and spells.

The latest update is now available on Cola Novels; we await your interpretation.

If the items collected in the basket are not spiritual plants, their spiritual power will be quickly and completely absorbed.

If it is a spiritual plant, it will be nourished and have a miraculous effect of accelerating ripening.

It can also release "bewitching miasma" to confuse people's minds.

Releasing the flower miasma consumes the flower spirit energy stored in the basket, which needs to be replenished in time.

The method of refining: One must find hundreds of different spiritual plants that are thousands of years old and integrate them into the Myriad Flower Basket.

The refining process requires nourishment with one's own spiritual power; the older the spiritual plant consumed, the stronger its power.

【Qianjun Peak】: Contains the power of primordial magnetic field and terrifying gravity laws.

Once unleashed, it can transform into a colossal mountain towering ten thousand feet high, suppressing all things, and any ordinary defensive magic weapon will crumble upon contact.

It can also create a gravity field, greatly slowing down the enemy's movements.

It is a treasure that combines offense and defense, using force to overcome skill.

The method of refining: It is necessary to continuously temper the peak body by drawing on the earth spirit power deep in the earth veins, while using one's own essence blood as a guide to inscribe the "True Form Diagram of the Mountain" on the core of the peak body.

The refining process is lengthy, requiring one's divine sense to merge with the true form of the mountain and withstand the erosion of the mountain's immense will.

The power of these three ancient treasures is truly captivating.

However, successfully refining it is not easy.

The Spirit-Catching Net requires several years of nurturing with the tears of a deep-sea Xuan Whale mixed with its essence and blood, and Chen Xu had never even heard of the tears of a Xuan Whale.

The Thousand-Pound Peak needs to be tempered by the earth's spiritual energy and withstand the erosion of the mountain's will. The process is dangerous and lengthy, and cannot be accomplished overnight.

In comparison, the refining requirements for the Myriad Flower Basket are much higher, though they require a massive amount of high-level spiritual plant resources.

But for Chen Xu, who possessed abundant spiritual liquid, it was the simplest thing.

The more aged the spiritual plants consumed by the 【Kaleidoscope Basket】, the stronger its power.

Afterwards, Chen Xu suppressed his thoughts and began his secluded cultivation.

I've already obtained several earth-elemental spiritual items needed for the second level of the "Mysterious Bone True Demon Art," it's time to go into seclusion and try to break through.

Meanwhile, at the Cold Pine Gate...

Chen Xu's clone suddenly received a telepathic message from Wen Tianhe:

"Come to the main peak immediately."

Chen Xu sighed inwardly, "As expected, what's meant to happen will happen..."

When Wen Tianhe learned that the Han family was investigating the cultivator surnamed Chen, he must have aroused suspicion.

He then took out a flying sword, left the cave, and quickly headed towards the main peak.

……

The atmosphere inside the side hall of the main peak was solemn.

"Disciple Chen Xu greets Master." Chen Xu bowed respectfully, his voice steady.

Wen Tianhe's gaze swept over Chen Xu, his tone low and deep:

Have you encountered any evil spirits before?

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's body stiffened slightly, revealing a look of fear.

He quickly bowed again, his voice trembling slightly: "Reporting to the sect master, I did indeed encounter some strange things when I was at the ruins of the First Saint Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu felt himself locked in by a powerful pressure, making it difficult to even breathe.

He composed himself and quickly continued:

"At that time, the disciple was swept into a cave by a mysterious spatial force, where countless pulsating fleshy balls were scattered throughout."

Its foul odor permeated the air, and the disciple felt his soul become unstable just by getting close.

Although the disciple did not recognize the names of those fleshy spheres, judging from their shape and aura, he guessed they were undoubtedly evil spirits.

Wen Tianhe stared intently at Chen Xu, his tone icy:

"Having encountered this matter, why did you never report it after returning to your clan?"

"Furthermore, how did you, with your mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, manage to survive the clutches of evil spirits?!"
