Made from hundred-thousand-year-old bodhi leaves and ten-thousand-year-old blood jade, tempered in the heart fire of the earth in an extremely cold place, absorbing the righteous energy of heaven and earth, taking eighty-one days."
"After enduring countless difficulties, the violent demonic nature within was finally removed and transformed into gentle Dao intent."
"This jade pendant can not only conceal the wearer's aura but also help the wearer quickly calm their mind and focus, enhancing their spiritual consciousness and qi and blood..."
"Furthermore, it possesses powerful protective abilities."
"Simply crushing the bodhi leaf on it can grant the protection of the bodhi, capable of blocking a full-strength attack from a powerful expert in the late Shangqing Realm."
"If a cultivator faces demons or evil spirits, the blood jade bodhi pendant can also protect the body, dispel evil energy, and provide immunity to the Huoxin Technique."
Su Han looked at this blood jade bodhi pendant.
He had almost no hesitation!
He knew that this magic item was exactly what he was looking for!
Soon.
Su Han held the jade pendant and walked up to Dao Xuan Zhenren. "Sect Leader Shibo (Sect Leader Senior Uncle), I have found the magic item I want."
Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at the jade pendant, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad. This blood jade bodhi pendant is a rare treasure among the items left behind by the ancestors of our Qingyun Sect."
"I hope you can make good use of its effects and not tarnish the reputation of the Qingyun Sect in the future."
Su Han said gratefully, "Thank you, Sect Leader Shibo (Sect Leader Senior Uncle)."
Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and said, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve."
"Let's go, don't keep your Master waiting."
Su Han nodded, then followed Dao Xuan and left the treasure vault.
Outside the treasure vault.
When Shui Yue saw Su Han, she quickly came forward, "Xiao Han, which magic item did you choose?"
Su Han handed the jade pendant to Shui Yue, "Master, it's this one, the blood jade bodhi."
Upon hearing this, Shui Yue looked at the item in Su Han's hand, examined it carefully, and soon a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes: "Not bad."
"A Daoist magic item with a touch of Buddhist nature, and powerful protective functions."
"This magic item is indeed very suitable for you!"
Su Han smiled and hung the jade pendant on his waist, adding a touch of gentlemanly elegance, "I think so too."
Shui Yue looked at the lightly smiling Su Han at this moment, and for some reason, she was momentarily in a daze.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses.
"Xiao... Xiao Han, I'll go and report the matter of your Ni Lin Sword to the Head Disciple Brother first..."
After saying that.
Shui Yue left in a hurry.
Su Han looked at Shui Yue's retreating figure, "I always feel that Master has been deeply and subtly affected by the demonic nature of the bloodthirsty bead."
"I don't know if it's good or bad..."
Su Han sighed softly, feeling a bit helpless, "As expected, my Master's state of mind is still troubled by the events of that year."
Su Han pondered, standing at the entrance of the hall, silently waiting for Shui Yue.
Not long after, Shui Yue returned.
"Master, what did Sect Leader Shibo (Sect Leader Senior Uncle) say?"
Looking at Shui Yue, Su Han asked curiously.
Shui Yue said indifferently, "The Sect Leader already knows about the Ni Lin Sword you possess, you don't need to worry."
"The Sect Leader said that soul-seizing was brought back to the mountain gate by Qingye Founder back then, and now that you have obtained it, it can be considered your destiny."
As she spoke, Shui Yue seemed a little confused.
"But why did Qingye Founder bring such an extremely evil item as soul-seizing back to the Qingyun Sect?"
After thinking for a while, Shui Yue still gained nothing and shook her head helplessly.
"Never mind."
"There must be his reasons for the Founder to do this."
"Xiao Han, let's go home."
Saying that, Shui Yue took Su Han and flew away on her sword.
In the sky.
Su Han held Shui Yue's slender waist, lost in thought.
"If I'm not mistaken, Qing Ye Founder brought back soul-seizing to set up the Heavenly Mystery Seal."
The Heavenly Mystery Seal was set up by Qingye Founder of the Qingyun Sect.
Originally, the founding ancestor of the Qingyun Sect, Qing Yunzi, had set up the Zhu Xian Sword formation by borrowing the spiritual energy of Qingyun Mountain.
Later, after Qingye Founder set up the Heavenly Mystery Seal, he was able to unlock the abundant malevolent energy contained beneath the peaks when activating the Zhu Xian Sword formation and activate it through mystical incantations.
Instantly, all the strange and malevolent spiritual energy hidden within the mountain peaks for thousands of years would converge onto the ancient sword Zhu Xian, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the Zhu Xian Sword formation, making it possess the powerful ability to split the sky and break the earth.
Casting an extremely evil item like soul-seizing into one of the peaks.
Naturally, through the Heavenly Mystery Seal, its abundant malevolent energy could be absorbed and used by the Zhu Xian Sword.
This is likely the purpose for which Qingye Founder brought back soul-seizing.
However, Su Han did not explain.
After all, Sect Leader Dao Xuan also chose not to tell his Master the truth.
Moreover, his Master would not have the opportunity to use the Zhu Xian Sword, and if she were to ask how he knew, it would be difficult to explain.
......
......
......
Tongtian Peak.
After Shui Yue and Su Han left, Dao Xuan walked out of the main hall alone and headed towards the Zu Shi Ci Tang (Ancestral Hall).
Along the winding path, Dao Xuan Zhenren's steps were steady, his mind filled with thoughts.
He recalled his conversation with Shui Yue just now, "He is indeed a genius, and a Sword Dao genius at that."
"It's a pity, I haven't taken disciples for many years."
Dao Xuan sighed softly, and soon arrived in front of the Zu Shi Ci Tang (Ancestral Hall).
Dao Xuan stopped, tidied his Daoist robe, and stepped into the hall with a solemn expression.
Inside the hall, incense smoke curled up, quiet and solemn.
Dao Xuan Zhenren slowly walked to the ancestral tablets, knelt respectfully, and kowtowed three times.
After getting up.
Dao Xuan's gaze fell on the shadowy area beside him.
There, stood a hunched, weathered figure.
It was an old man wearing a worn-out Daoist robe and a straw hat, with sparse white hair and a face full of wrinkles like crisscrossing ravines; time had left deep marks on his face.
Slightly hunched over, holding an ancient broom in his hand, he was meticulously sweeping away the dust in the Zu Shi Ci Tang (Ancestral Hall).
"Alas..."
Dao Xuan looked at that figure and sighed helplessly.
After a while, he slowly spoke.
"Junior Brother, have you heard?"
"Our Qingyun Sect has recently produced a genius, who will surely become a pillar of our Qingyun Sect in the future and sweep away all evil demons in the world..."
Dao Xuan's words were interrupted directly by that 'old man' before he could finish.
"The Qingyun Sect has produced a genius, congratulations, Senior Brother."
"But Senior Brother."
"What's the point of saying this to a 'dead man'?"
As he spoke.
The 'old man' lowered his head again, sweeping the Zu Shi Ci Tang (Ancestral Hall), and spoke leisurely.
"The conflict between good and evil has raged for a thousand years, burning endlessly."
"The Dao of Heaven, it conquers without contention, acts without doing, why seek perfection or extremity."
Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.
"Without contention?"
"Without doing?"
"The Qingyun Sect was founded a thousand years ago to sweep away evil and restore peace and order to the world."
The 'old man' shook his head, "Since ancient times, good and evil have waxed and waned; knowing the white, keeping the black, that is the way of the world."
Dao Xuan stared at the old man, "A hundred years in the Zu Shi Ci Tang (Ancestral Hall) have actually worn away your ambition."
"The successive ancestors of Qingyun are here, and you still haven't attained enlightenment?"
"All things carry yin and embrace yang, good and evil accompany each other, that is the way of Heaven." The old man still disagreed.
Dao Xuan snorted coldly, "The way of Heaven?"
"Heaven has no favorites, moreover, good and evil are distinct."
"What I seek is utmost clarity and purity in the world!"
With that.
Dao Xuan flicked his large sleeves and left in anger.
But when he reached the doorway, he finally stopped, his tone carrying a hint of almost imperceptible guilt.
"Junior Brother, if you have time, you can go to Xiao Zhu Peak to see that child."
"He is like you, a Sword Dao genius, perhaps also the successor you are looking for."
"At the same time, Senior Brother hopes that seeing him will remind you of how spirited you were back then..."
Wan Jianyi stood hunched over, watching Dao Xuan walk away.
"Senior Brother..."
