"You sure have a daring imagination, the entirety of our sect's Innate Xin tal isn't even enough to forge a small flying sword, and yet you dream of forging a hamr. However, adding a portion to it won't be a problem,"
said True Lord Yanhe with a wry smile, tossing Yu Qingtan two Jade Slips and a small piece of tal.
"Thank you, Master!"
Yu Qingtan smiled sweetly, well aware that it was impossible and was just asking for the moon.
One ought to know that the Lifebound Artifact Innate Geng tal Sword of the Mingjing Honored One, Huang Mingjing, was based on Innate Geng tal as its primary material.
After saying goodbye to True Lord Yanhe, all of Yu Qingtan's senior and junior fellow disciples ca to congratulate her, each presenting a gift.
Unfortunately, Yu Qingtan found that maintaining the identity of "Xu Kexin" did not allow her to collect Charm Points or Affection Value. Although her Charm Points continued to grow daily, they were likely mainly contributed by the cultivators of Qu Fu Immortal City.
Three days later, the Family Head Xu Jiayin of the Xu family in the east of Immortal City held a banquet to celebrate "Xu Kexin" reaching Core Formation and breaking through to beco a Third Stage artifact refiner. Naturally, as the guest of honor, "Xu Kexin" was obliged to attend.
On the day she received the news, Yu Qingtan used her Shadow Clone's regenerative annihilation technique to arrive in the room of "Xu Kexin" within the eastern Immortal City.
Such use of the Shadow Clone gave Yu Qingtan almost the ability to teleport anywhere, which was quite wonderful.
After arriving in the eastern Immortal City, Yu Qingtan slipped out the door stealthily and sneaked into the Chu family of Immortal City.
The Chu family was an established clan in the eastern Immortal City and the family of the real person Chu Yu. They had Nascent Soul cultivators practicing in the Extre Path Demon Sect, and their strength significantly surpassed that of the Xu family.
The Chu family did not use to put much stock in the Xu family, but ever since True Lord Jia Yin curried favor with the Young Sect Master Murong Haokong, their rapid growth forced the Chu family to take them more seriously.
Real person Chu Yu's pursuit of Xu Kexin was not only due to lust, but also with the Chu family's support.
The Chu family did have a Third Stage Great Array. However, Yu Qingtan knocked out a Chu family disciple who spent the night in a brothel and with his identity, she easily infiltrated the place.
Then Yu Qingtan made her way to the Chu family's treasure vault, broke the formation with an Array Breaking Talisman, and slipped inside, leaving nothing behind.
Despite the Chu family's strength, like the Xu family, most high-level cultivators were practicing in the Extre Path Demon Sect, and only a Golden Core cultivator was stationed in the Chu family of the Immortal City. Their treasure vault was protected only by a Second Stage Formation.
Even though to Yu Qingtan the items inside weren't very appealing, she ca precisely to cause trouble.
When Yu Qingtan left the vault, she deliberately triggered the Formation to alert the cultivator guarding it.
"You thief, daring to sneak into the Chu family's treasure vault, you've got so nerve! Surrender your life!"
Yu Qingtan didn't waste words and imdiately took action.
She executed Fire Bullet Technique and Earth Spike Technique, early-stage fire and earth Spells, while the Chu family mber guarding the vault was a late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Pretending to be overpowered, Yu Qingtan attempted to flee using the Earth Escape Skill.
Just then, a sword light flew down from the sky with unmatched might, striking underground and killing the "thief" on the spot.
A strange red light shot towards the person who struck, but he paid it no heed.
"Humph, a re Foundation Establishnt Cultivator dares to run wild in my Chu's family! There must be a power behind this; I shall see which force dares to provoke us!"
The one who made the move was the Chu family's Golden Core cultivator who guarded the vault, real person Chu Shangu.
But when he dug out the thief from underground and saw the face, real person Chu Shangu's expression darkened imnsely.
"Xu Zhijian."
"Uncle, the treasure vault has been emptied!" At that mont, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator responsible for guarding the vault reported to real person Chu Shangu in panic.
Real Man Chu Shangu's face grew darker, and upon seizing the storage bags from Xu Zhijian and finding that everything from the treasury remained, his expression eased slightly.
That night, Yu Qingtan "visited" over a dozen families in the Eastern Immortal City, none of which were comparable to the Chu family, but all harbored Golden Core Cultivators.
Subsequently, those cultivators from the Xu family who had previously vanished were killed on the spot for breaking into others' residences at night.
In the Xu household, the seated Golden Core True Person, Real Man Xu Jiaqin, gazed at the soul lamps that were extinguished one after another, his brows tightly knitted.
When Xu Zhijian's soul lamp went out, Real Man Jiaqin had used a treasure-grade Blood Tracking Plate to search for the murderer and found that it pointed to the Chu family, which imdiately dispelled his intention to confront the killer directly.
Following that, soul lamps of the Xu family descendants, who had gone missing earlier, went out one by one, including several key family mbers with Blood Tether, pointing to different Golden Core families in Eastern Immortal City as the culprits.
This made Real Man Jiaqin break into a cold sweat, obviously, soone was targeting their Xu family, prompting him to send an urgent ssage to his clan brother, Real Man Xu Jiayin, the Family Head of the Xu family.
Upon receiving the ssage, Real Man Jiayin rushed back to the Xu family imdiately and, enduring the pain of losing his son, made inquiries and afterward visited each of these Golden Core families, explaining the situation and presenting his apologies.
"Real Man Chu Shangu, there must be so misunderstanding, our Xu family are victims too. As you know, my unworthy son has been missing for over two months, clearly this is a case of being frad!"
"If it weren't for that, you and I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk. Real Man Jiayin, you should really think about who your Xu family has offended. My Chu family will not attend tomorrow's banquet!"
"You are right, Real Man Chu Shangu, I will reflect on this when I return! Do you know where my unworthy son is?"
"Take him back with you!"
...
After much effort, Real Man Jiayin finally cleared things up and brought back the bodies of most of the missing family mbers, as so had been reduced to ashes.
With a funeral to arrange, naturally, the celebratory banquet for "Xu Kexin's" Core Formation was canceled.
Yu Qingtan stayed at the Xu residence for half a day before returning to the Extre Path Demon Sect.
"Kexin, given that our Xu residence is now targeted by an unknown power whose depth we cannot fathom, and considering you are the most talented in our Xu family, you should return to the Extre Dao Sect as soon as possible. If the adversary has not yet surfaced, try to avoid leaving the sect," said Real Man Jiayin sowhat despondently to "Xu Kexin" before his return to the Extre Path Demon Sect, his recent solicitation of the Heavenly Secret Tower's divination and the adversary's tactics had filled him with deep wariness.
The following day, Real Man Chu Yu ca looking for "Xu Kexin" but was rejected by Yu Qingtan on the grounds that the Chu family had killed her clan brother "Xu Zhijian."
Despising the trouble of the Core Formation banquet, wanting to give the Xu family so trouble, and looking for a reason to reject Chu Yu were the three reasons for Yu Qingtan's actions this ti.
Since Chu Yu had outlived his usefulness as a tool for getting into the top of Disaster Crossing Peak, Yu Qingtan naturally did not want to have any further involvent with him and especially resisted being taken advantage of.
Moreover, if the opportunity arose, Yu Qingtan even wanted to eliminate him.
The Extre Path Demon Sect hardly had any good people in it, let alone those who bore grudges against her.
Of course, the second point was even more critical; after all, in the Cultivation World, how many can claim to be good people? Yu Qingtan never considered herself to be one.
The Cultivation World is a place where everyone competes to be worse than the other.
The reason the Extre Path Demon Sect is known as a Demon Sect is simply that they are even worse.
A few days later, Yu Qingtan received another batch of Cultivation Resources from Real Man Jiayin, including a supply of Innate Ji Earth and two complete vials of Demon King's blood.
This was the Xu family's reward to "Xu Kexin" for achieving Core Formation and becoming a Third-Stage Forging Master. Real Man Jiayin asked "Xu Kexin" to make her own requests, and Yu Qingtan naturally asked for a lot, which Real Man Jiayin t to the best of his ability.
Thus, Yu Qingtan had now collected the Innate Five Elents.
