Zhao Sheng's heart tightened, and he imdiately answered, "Esteed True Immortal, the 'Sacrificial Fire Technique' has been passed down from our ancestors. To the best of my knowledge, it seemingly originates from the Central Continent."
"Hmm!" Master Wu Yan nodded noncommittally, then sighed, "What a pity!"
Zhao Sheng didn't understand what the other party ant by 'what a pity,' so he had no choice but to keep silent and guard his spirit, waiting for the other party's reaction.
After sighing, Master Wu Yan took out the pill bottle containing the Foundation Establishnt Pills and the Five Elents Talisman Plate, pushing these two items in front of Zhao Sheng, and said at the sa ti, "I'm giving you the Foundation Establishnt Pills. As for this Five Elents Talisman Plate, you must use it well and not waste my efforts."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng said in surprise, "Senior, did you refine this Five Elents Talisman Plate?"
Master Wu Yan nodded and said, "My original intention was to refine a spirit plate that combined all five elents. Who knew that sothing would go wrong in the middle, and in the end, I produced this diocre product."
Seeing the situation, Zhao Sheng felt it wasn't appropriate to say much, and could only say, "Junior will definitely live up to Senior's expectations."
Master Wu Yan grunted, then stood up and left the place.
Soon after, a dignified female servant walked in....
A mont later, after completing the transaction for the Spirit Stones, Zhao Sheng changed his makeup and quietly left the auction hall.
...
Three days later, Zhao Sheng bought an Instrunt-level Warrior Puppet from an Artifact Refining Shop.
Upon leaving the shop, he looked around casually, seeing people coming and going; everything seed perfectly normal.
However, Zhao Sheng knew soone was secretly watching him.
These past few days, he had changed his locations and varied his appearance and clothing nurous tis, but he was still unable to shake off the other party's "surveillance."
At first, he thought the other party was interested in the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
But after he impulsively felt a vague sensation several tis,
he knew that things were not so simple.
Especially today, Zhao Sheng had a strong premonition that the other party would definitely co looking for him.
As night fell, a guest room on the second floor of the inn.
Zhao Sheng sat upright, silently waiting for the visitor.
Just after midnight, the window of the guest room suddenly opened by itself, and a thick water vapor quietly drifted in from outside the window.
Shortly after, the water vapor dissipated. A figure in a white dress slowly appeared inside the room, and the woman wearing a white veil sat down opposite Zhao Sheng with a serene deanor.
Even though Zhao Sheng was prepared, his heart still jumped when he actually faced the woman. A strange and inexplicable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
At that mont, he suddenly understood why she had co; she too was a person with the Spiritual Clan Bloodline.
"You—"
Hush!
Zhao Sheng had just uttered a word when the other party interrupted him.
Wang Yingling gently waved her sleeve, and a palm-sized white turtle shell spun down onto the table.
The next mont, the turtle shell suddenly extended its limbs and head.
The head bumped against the table, the limbs scrambled, quickly flipped over, and positioned the shell upright.
Then, two small jet-black eyes, the size of green beans, t Zhao Sheng's gaze, filled with an air of ancient depth and significance.
Zhao Sheng was shocked!
Just then, a bean-sized bubble was suddenly exhaled from the turtle's mouth.
A flash of white light erged, and the bubble instantly expanded countless tis, enveloping the entire room.
After a flash, the bubble turned invisible.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's eyebrows creased slightly.
Across him, Wang Yingling slowly removed her face veil, revealing stunningly tender and bewitching beauty.
She was a breathtakingly beautiful girl of about seventeen or eighteen, with delicate eyebrows and a porcelain nose, her skin white as snow, and her silvery white hair cascading over her shoulders. Each smile or frown radiated a captivating charm.
Zhao Sheng stared at this stunning face, and despite being prepared, his pupils still constricted,
The uninvited stunning girl also had a pair of sapphire-blue eyes, which looked like a vast azure ocean—profound yet extraordinarily clear.
Seeing Zhao Sheng's silence, Wang Yingling couldn't help but smile gently, saying, "My na is Wang Yingling, what's yours?"
Zhao Sheng's expression regained calmness as he said indifferently, "My family na is Zhao, a nobody of no consequence!"
Wang Yingling reproached coquettishly, "That's not fair! I've already told you my na. Why are you being so stingy? Could it be that your na is not for public ears?"
Zhao Sheng was not swayed by her, and responded directly, "Miss Wang, your visit tonight surely wasn't ant for idle talk!"
Wang Yingling's expression froze as she put away her smile and turned serious, "You should know why I am here."
"Oh, I don't know!" Zhao Sheng shook his head as he feigned ignorance.
anwhile, his mind raced as he pondered the true purpose of her visit.
Upon hearing his words, Wang Yingling's expression stiffened once again, and a hint of anger arose in her heart.
From birth until now, she had been the center of adoration among thousands, and rarely had anyone dared to treat her with such disrespect.
Hey!
Just then, a cold laugh suddenly echoed in the room, followed by a beam of white light shooting forth from the nostrils of the turtle on the table.
As fast as lightning, the light flashed past Zhao Sheng's face and then dispersed into the air.
Zhao Sheng's face cooled, instinctively wanting to touch his cheek, but he refrained the next second.
Because he had realized that his disguise was uncovered by that turtle.
Seeing Zhao Sheng reveal a pair of blue eyes, Wang Yingling's eyes brightened, and her face showed a surprised smile.
She had thought he was rely a "hybrid," yet this person possessed Spiritual Eyes with a bloodline purity no less than hers.
Wang Yingling thought elatedly, "This... is just wonderful! Our clan has gained another Spirit Blood Clan mber."
"Congratulations, Young Master, for making another great accomplishnt for the Holy Clan! When we return, your place in the lineage sequence will surely advance several ranks,"
An elderly voice emanated from the White Turtle, reverberating around the room.
Zhao Sheng's gaze intensified as he suddenly looked toward the palm-sized white turtle, his heart skipping a beat.
The ability to speak was a hallmark of a third-tier Great Demon!
He never imagined that this seemingly inconspicuous Little Wu was a Great Demon comparable to a Golden Core.
"Kid, you're in luck! Join us and return to the Void Spirit Abyss," the White Turtle ambled over to Zhao Sheng, its head held high with undeniable pride.
Of course, it had reason to be proud.
It, Gui Wujiu, was a genius of the White Turtle Clan, who had lived just over 1,300 years and had already successfully condensed a Demon Core after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.
Otherwise, guarding the Young Master, such a coveted task, would not have fallen to Gui Wujiu.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about. Could you bother explaining what the Holy Clan is, and what place is the Void Spirit Abyss?"
Wang Yingling looked at Zhao Sheng with a strange expression, curiously asking, "Do you truly never heard of the Void Spirit Abyss? You don't even know a little about your own clan's history?"
Zhao Sheng nodded at her and said, "Otherwise, what?"
Wang Yingling looked enlightened and, after putting her veil back on, clarified in a clear voice, "The Void Spirit Abyss, also known as the Demon Ruins, is called the Sea Demon by the deceitful Human Clan. Of course, we never acknowledge the na 'Sea Demon.' We are a unique and noble race, far superior to the black-eyed Human Clan—we are the singular Void Spirit Clan!"
Zhao Sheng was greatly shocked upon hearing the words "Demon Ruins."
Demon Ruins, the Sea Demon Clan?!
The Demon Ruins was the nightmare of the Human Clan of the Shattered Star Sea, representing a vast influence that ruled over billions of sea beasts across an ocean area spanning nearly a hundred thousand miles.
And the Sea Demon Clan, alongside the Dragon Serpent and Sea Dominator Octopus, was known as one of the three great overlords of the distant oceans.
With the shortest ergence among the three, the Sea Demon Clan had rapidly expanded its influence. In recent millennia, its status had subtly exceeded the other two overlords.
Out of ten great Sea Beast Tides, at least six were spearheaded by the Demon Ruins.
It could be said that the Demon Ruins were the number one scourge of the Human Clan of the Shattered Star Sea.
Legend had it that the Sea Demon Clan was extrely mysterious, its people extrely rare, scarcely appearing within Human Clan territories.
Most only appeared briefly during the Sea Demon Tides attacking the Outer Star Sea, and were then concealed beneath layers of sea beast protection.
At this thought, Zhao Sheng furrowed his brows tightly.
Honestly, he had not expected that his Spiritual Clan Bloodline would be connected to the legendary Sea Demon Clan. Experience tales with empire
This made him suspect that the Book of Hundred Lifetis might have set him up as a "fall guy."
All he wanted was to wholeheartedly pursue cultivation, not to be born as an enemy of the Human Clan.
