Chapter 290: Chapter 144: The Agreement on the Eighth Day of September, Tens of Thousands of Martial Cultivators Gather!_2
"Is that the point? The point is, everyone was suddenly kicked out of the Secret Realm. What in the world is going on?"
"Yeah, it’s so damn strange! Could it be... could it be that someone refined the Celestial Demon Bone of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm?"
"Refined the Celestial Demon Bone? The Celestial Demon Bone of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm should be a Tier Two Celestial Demon Bone! That’s the kind of Celestial Demon Bone only the Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty possess!"
"Which senior refined a Tier Two Celestial Demon Bone? They’re so powerful!"
In the crowd, Seven Swords Sect Leader Yan Yunfei and Blood Saber Sect Leader Yuan Butong were dumbfounded for a while. After listening to the discussions of the surrounding Cultivators, they looked around, only to accidentally spot Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying! Both tensed immediately, clutching the weapons at their waists and retreating into the distance.
However, Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying paid no attention to Yan Yunfei and Yuan Butong at this moment. They were carefully scanning the Martial Cultivators who had exited the Secret Realm, hoping to spot Mu Shiba among them.
At this moment, an elderly man walked past them. This man was none other than Lin Xuankong, who had disguised himself once more. He walked past the Liy Family Brothers, Zheng Yunrui, and the others, slowly heading into the distance.
Only after walking into a distant grove did he turn back to look at the Spirit Vein Transference of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, which was gradually closing.
Once he returned home, he would use True Qi to activate the Celestial Demon Bone and open a Spirit Vein Transference, allowing him to enter and exit the Secret Realm! This way, no one would know he had obtained the Celestial Demon Bone!
「Half a day later,」
At the Lin Residence in Wutong Village.
Lin Xuankong sat on a Grandmaster’s Chair outside the Alchemy Room in the back hall. Through the window, he gazed at Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, who was inside refining elixirs.
A smile touched his lips as he looked down at the box in his hand, filled with hundreds of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects.
These Heavy Water Spiritual Objects were treasures sought after by Fifth Layer Cultivators, yet he could obtain hundreds of them with a mere Heart Thought. And these hundreds were merely one percent of the total Heavy Water Spiritual Objects the Ba Mountain Secret Realm could produce!
With these hundreds of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects, even if the probability of advancement was low, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan and Lady Yu Fei would surely succeed in the future. Besides, they had a thirty-fold enhancement, giving them advancement chances far exceeding those of ordinary Cultivators!
"Hmph, so you finally remembered to come home!" Young Lady Lii Xiaolan’s voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lin Xuankong turned to look at the green-robed Young Lady. He sniffed the air. "Mm, I’m home! The Divine Protection Elixirs you refined this time seem even more fragrant!"
A smile touched Lii Xiaolan’s lips.
"Not only are they more fragrant, but they also taste sweeter and more delicious! After all, what I’m refining now are Top-grade Divine Protection Pills!"
So, the quality of elixirs is judged by their sweetness and taste?
It’s truly questionable how Young Lady Lii Xiaolan improves the grade of her Alchemy Technique using such standards!
Is having good Alchemy Talent really this empowering and arbitrary?
Lii Xiaolan approached Lin Xuankong and carefully sensed his aura. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened in surprise. "No, your aura is so strong now, it’s almost catching up to mine! With an aura like this... don’t tell me you’ve already advanced to the Fifth Layer?"
Lin Xuankong chuckled softly, saying nothing.
Joy spread across Lii Xiaolan’s pretty face. "Does this mean you found Heavy Water Spiritual Objects in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm?"
Lin Xuankong handed her the box. "I did indeed advance to the Fifth Layer some time ago. And yes, these are Heavy Water Spiritual Objects!"
Lii Xiaolan took the box and was just about to look inside when Lin Xuankong grabbed her small hand and quickly led her toward the rockery in the courtyard. "You can look later. Heavy Water Spiritual Objects... we’ll have as many as we want in the future! First, help me dig a big hole in the ground. I want to show you a huge treasure!"
Lii Xiaolan looked puzzled. "To see something? Why do we need to dig a hole in the courtyard for that? Is it something that can’t be seen by others?"
It’s not about it being something that can’t be seen by others!
This is called being low-key, being cautious!
This Young Lady of mine, her words always cause such frustration!
Lin Xuankong then said, "There’s one more thing. From now on, make sure the servants are never allowed in the back courtyard. Our home is going to have a big secret!"
「More than an hour later,」
Beside the rockery, a deep and large hole appeared. The hole was about seventeen or eighteen yards deep. Lin Xuankong then dug sideways for over twenty yards before taking out some Profound Iron Pillars to reinforce the tunnel.
Such a massive undertaking would take even a hundred strong men hundreds of days to complete. For Lin Xuankong and Lii Xiaolan, however, it was quite simple. In just over an hour, they had already excavated an extremely deep and large underground space!
As for the excavated soil, Lin Xuankong had naturally stored it all in his Ghost Frog Pouch.
Only then did Lin Xuankong clap the dust off his hands and look at Lii Xiaolan. "In the future, your husband’s territory will be very, very large!"
Lii Xiaolan frowned at him. "Steward Lin, have you been promoted to Silver Jade Steward now? By that calculation, your territory should have expanded by dozens of streets. But if your territory is larger, why dig a hole? What exactly are you trying to show me?"
Lin Xuankong smiled.
With a mere Heart Thought from him, a Spirit Vein Transference, three yards in diameter, appeared shimmering in the pitch-black hole. He then grabbed Lii Xiaolan and stepped into the Spirit Vein Transference.
The next moment, Lii Xiaolan’s gasp of astonishment echoed within the Secret Realm.
"You... you... you... this... this... this... Don’t tell me you actually refined a Celestial Demon Bone?!"
