Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Dongfang Mingyue
At the instant when the Minotaur’s head was blasted open, Zhang Yuan swiftly withdrew his palm.
His palm quickly slid across the belt, instantly affixing a new Condensing Evil Talisman.
Once an anomaly occupies a living being’s body and dies, its original evil energy disperses quickly.
Then it spontaneously vanishes into ashes.
Leaving no corpse behind.
The role of the Condensing Evil Talisman is to absorb and coagulate the anomaly’s evil energy, solidify it into an Evil Infant.
Zhang Yuan has been accepting Daoist rit tasks related to anomalies recently, for the purpose of obtaining Evil Infants.
Previously, he scavenged quite a bit of precious dicinal herbs from the Martial Might Sect Leader’s old nest.
Direct consumption of these herbs would be sowhat effective, but it’s essentially wasting them.
Only by refining them into elixirs can their true efficacy be unleashed.
But Zhang Yuan doesn’t understand alchemy and needs to seek help.
In the Xia Ruins Celestial King Hall, the most skilled in alchemy is undoubtedly Master’s uncle, Master Hui Feng.
The problem is that, even as a Dharma Guardian Divine General, Zhang Yuan lacks the clout to get Master Hui Feng to work for free.
Master Hui Feng was quite straightforward with Zhang Yuan’s request.
He wanted to exchange fourth or fifth grade Evil Infants for Daoist rit.
Although Zhang Yuan had so Daoist rit, the Evil Infants are rare; theoretically, using the Condensing Evil Talisman at the right ti and target can form them.
But in reality, failure is normal, and success is rather lucky.
So far, Zhang Yuan had only succeeded once and obtained a fourth grade Evil Infant.
At that ti, this Evil Infant exchanged for one hundred and fifty Daoist rits.
He considered it an experience.
Monts later, the Condensing Evil Talisman stuck to the two Minotaurs combusted spontaneously, turning into wisps of black smoke that dispersed and vanished.
Then the Minotaur bodies turned into ashes.
But it left behind two pairs of sharp, curved horns!
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
The condensing of evil energy failed.
Not only did he not obtain Evil Infants, but he also lost the Source Material reward for slaying anomalies; coupled with two Condensing Evil Talismans exchanged for Daoist rit, he truly suffered an imnse loss!
Luckily, the horns could be returned, so it wasn’t a complete loss.
Zhang Yuan wasn’t too disheartened; after all, it wasn’t the first ti.
He was ntally prepared.
Outside, the sky had already darkened; Zhang Yuan took a lap around Niu Manor.
Ensuring no other anomalies were present, he mounted his horse towards the Xia Ruins.
Zhang Yuan reached the Celestial King Hall as night fully engulfed the Ruins City, with the hall brightly lit.
He first deposited his mount.
Then he carried the two pairs of horns to the outer hall to exchange for Daoist rit.
The task was urgent this ti, and what Daoist rit he received was better than nothing.
After completing the process, Zhang Yuan planned to visit a nearby tavern for a drink and consu three pounds of beef to comfort himself.
But as he turned around, he saw a man and a woman entering from outside the hall.
Zhang Yuan’s gaze instantly sharpened.
The visitors were young; the man was handso and dignified, wearing a white robe with a longsword at his waist; his temperant stood apart from those around him, akin to a crane in a flock of chickens.
The girl was just sixteen or seventeen, with bright eyes and white teeth, pretty and cute, wearing a goose-yellow dress with a white jade belt, clearly a noble family’s daughter, carrying an air of innocent purity.
Her appearance attracted many eyes!
But the impact on Zhang Yuan was the greatest.
Because he imdiately recognized them as Celestial Beings!
In fact, Hui Zhi had ntioned to him earlier that Celestial Beings were soon arriving.
Zhang Yuan was prepared for another encounter with Celestial Beings.
Yet he never expected their appearance to be so sudden, catching him off guard.
The question was, how many Celestial Beings were coming to Xia Ruins this ti, and what were their goals?
Zhang Yuan lowered his eyes, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
In the next mont, he activated the Red-eyed Crow’s special vision.
Zhang Yuan’s pupils instantly turned gem-like red, and the scene in his vision changed drastically.
When he used his special vision to observe the Celestial man and woman, he found two halos of different sizes gathered around their heads.
Yet, their life aura was essentially no different from other martial artists.
This was Zhang Yuan’s first observation of Celestial Beings’ life forms since obtaining the Red-eyed Crow’s new ability.
It was truly extraordinary!
One was Tier Five, the other Tier Three.
This was Zhang Yuan’s basic assessnt of the two Celestial Beings’ cultivation.
The man was Tier Five, the woman was Tier Three, and already at the pinnacle of Tier Three, one more step would open her Sea of Qi!
But what did the purple halo shown on their heads represent, he could not ascertain.
This kind of purple halo was absent in ordinary people, martial artists, and Daoists!
Was it the Celestial Beings’ Divine Soul?
Zhang Yuan sensed that perhaps this purple halo was the key to Celestial Beings’ immortality!
At this mont, the Tier Five Celestial male suddenly turned to look at Zhang Yuan, a gleam flashing in his eye.
Displaying a hint of vigilance and displeasure.
He seed to have sensed Zhang Yuan’s scrutiny!
Zhang Yuan ca to his senses, imdiately exiting the special vision, then calmly approached to inquire, "May I ask, do you have any business here?"
Before the white-robed Celestial could respond, the yellow-skirted girl blinked, asking, "Who are you?"
Her gaze bore a glint of mischief.
Zhang Yuan replied calmly, "I am Zhang Yuan, Dharma Guardian Divine General of the Celestial King Hall. You two must be Celestial Beings from Daqian, right?"
The yellow-skirted girl imdiately seed startled, blurting out, "How did you know?"
The white-robed Celestial beside her chuckled and shook his head.
He clearly thought his companion inadvertently revealed the truth to Zhang Yuan.
Not realizing Zhang Yuan discerned it imdiately.
"Indeed."
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Visitors from afar, feel free to tour around."
He suspected they arrived quietly in the Ruins City without their group.
The yellow-skirted girl’s arrival shouldn’t have been too long ago; the accompanying white-robed man appeared more like a guard or bodyguard.
Or a relative?
In any case, they were certainly not a couple.
But regardless, Zhang Yuan intended to move away, not wanting to entangle with them.
"Wait!"
The yellow-skirted girl hurriedly blocked his way, questioning, "Knowing we are guests, is this how you treat guests?"
Though her tone was sowhat domineering, her puffed-up expression made her even cuter.
Sufficient to charm many.
However, Zhang Yuan’s heart grew warier, yet he smiled on the surface, "My apologies, how about I invite you to a nearby tavern for a sit?"
Initially, he had no intent to engage with the two Celestial Beings.
But Zhang Yuan’s mind shifted.
He wanted to probe their intentions!
Better proactive than passive.
The yellow-skirted girl grinned, extending her delicate hand to Zhang Yuan, "Sure, I’m Dongfang Mingyue."
