Eternal Tale

”Senior, please wait a moment.”

Wan Xiangying took out a jade token, pointed at it, and suddenly the space trembled slightly. A pillar of mana light descended from above.

Chen Xun’’s gaze sharpened as he slightly raised his head. The qi of the Five Elements, the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the essence of heaven and earth, and the spiritual qi of heaven and earth each resonated with a hum. What kind of spell is this...

He was somewhat shocked in his heart, but the phenomenon disappeared in an instant. On the wooden table, a square green spirit seal slowly condensed.

Wan Xiangying put away the jade token and smiled slightly, ”Senior, this is the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal. You can just give the spirit stones directly to me.”

Chen Xun was taken aback. He couldn’’t quite grasp the intricacies of the spell released by this Elemental Infant phase cultivator, nor did he clearly see how this item was condensed.

He was only distracted for a moment before taking out spirit stones from his storage ring and placing them on the wooden table.

”Senior, infuse a wisp of your soul and divine sense into it, and this Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal will belong solely to you.”

Wan Xiangying’’s sleeves fluttered as she instantly collected three thousand mid-grade spirit stones into an Earth rank Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal. ”If the stored spirit stones reach the limit, the Spirit Manor can replace it with an Earth rank Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal for free.”

She wore a faint smile, seemingly unfazed even in front of someone who could very well be a Void Refinement expert.Chen Xun’’s eyes emitted a trace of electric light, and the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal suddenly made a dull sound, as if it had vanished into the void.

At this moment, Wan Xiangying’’s previously composed face changed color instantly. She glanced at this senior inadvertently, curious about his strange method.

Chen Xun’’s gaze gradually deepened. He held two fingers in front of his chest, quickly refining the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal. Naturally, he wouldn’’t use his own soul and divine sense.

Instead, he used his Five Elements primordial spirit, which was indistinguishable from his own. He could even destroy one and restore it, though it would take some time and resources.

After all, he was a man with five extra lives!

After a stick of incense, Chen Xun’’s aura gradually retracted, his eyes becoming clear, and he smiled, ”Thank you, Miss Wan.”

Wan Xiangying bowed her head in salute, ”Senior can check the usage of the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal on your own. I shall take my leave.”

”Alright.” Chen Xun wore a gentle smile.

Wan Xiangying smiled slightly, transformed into a wisp of wind, and disappeared, having completed her duty.

After she left, Chen Xun’’s gentle face gradually turned cold and calm. His thick eyebrows rippled with a sharp edge, and even the clarity in his eyes became cold, exuding a dangerous aura that warned others to stay away.

Although this seal was a magical artifact, it was the first time he had encountered one that could be refined so quickly.

Moreover, once a wisp of soul was infused, the seal seemed to instantly become one of his life-bound treasures.

In the world of immortals, this was an incredibly absurd thing, implying that your life-bound treasure was under someone else’’s control.

If they wanted to tamper with it, you wouldn’’t even know how you died, especially during a critical breakthrough, leading to inevitable deviation.

But the Spirit Manor had developed for countless years and naturally wouldn’’t do such things. Those strong cultivators would have their own means of defense, like Chen Xun.

He then put the matter behind him and began to explore the spirit seal.

Suddenly, a vast heavenly sound entered his mind, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, revealing all the methods of manipulation and taboos.

Chen Xun’’s eyes were clear as he waved his hand, taking out thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones from his storage ring. The divine light of the Five Elements coiled around his fingertips, yet it was not visible.

The Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal began to resonate with the surrounding spiritual qi, emitting a white mist that instantly devoured these spirit stones. A divine sense probe revealed the amount: thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

He frowned slightly, unable to trace it, nor was there any spatial power fluctuation. It was as if the spirit seal had swallowed it, rather than being transported elsewhere.

”Impossible.”

Chen Xun held up the spirit seal, unable to discern its structure, made of materials he had never seen before. He chuckled softly, ”This era truly has many good things.”

It felt as if it was stored in a storage ring, with the spirit seal specifically for storing spirit stones.

Yet it could connect to the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, a method far more complex than crafting a storage ring.

He clenched his hand, and the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal spiraled into the sky. The wisp of divine sense within it instantly dimmed, and a primordial spirit within him was suddenly covered by death energy, leaving no hidden dangers.

After finishing everything, he got up and left. Without sufficient strength, he wouldn’’t study it for now and would follow others’’ rules.

On the other side of the wooden building.

Black Bull and the others were drinking tea, laughing continuously. The cultivators here were very polite, not minding that they hadn’’t come to acquire a spirit seal.

Little Chi’’s eyes darted around, always feeling that many eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Just then, it suddenly saw a white-clothed figure walking towards them, and its expression turned to joy, ”Xun!”

”Moo moo~~”

”Big brother.”

”Senior.”

They all stood up simultaneously, their expressions full of surprise. It was so quick; these cultivators were indeed efficient, never wasting time.

Chen Xun chuckled, looking outside the wooden building, ”Let’’s leave here first.”

Black Bull quickly ran up, rubbing against Chen Xun with a puzzled look, ”Moo?”

”We’’ll talk as we walk.”

Chen Xun patted Black Bull’’s head and looked at Little Crane and the others, ”Let’’s go buy a property, then head back to Trash Island.”

”Big brother, does property cost a lot of spirit stones?”

”Xun, we could just find a place and dig a hole. There’’s no need to buy!”

”Senior, real estate in the immortal city isn’’t cheap, especially in prominent locations.”

...

They chatted as they walked, already leaving the wooden building. The warm sunlight shone down, spreading across the land.

Chen Xun laughed heartily, explaining to them the benefits of buying property, which was protected by various forces. Digging a hole had too many risks and wasn’’t safe.

He also recounted what Wan Xiangying had said to him earlier.

On the broad road.

Little Chi exclaimed, already running to Chen Xun’’s side, ”Xun, in such a great era, are these cultivators really so rule-abiding?”

Its eyes widened, its expression no longer sly. This was great news for low-level cultivators, especially for it.

Mo Fuyang interjected with a bow, ”Senior, indeed, if it were a world where the weak are prey to the strong, I might not have survived until now...”

He smiled, knowing that what the senior said was common knowledge among cultivators born in this era.

Little Crane was about to speak but noticed the expressions of her big brother and second brother, immediately closing her mouth, her eyes thoughtful.

”Third sister.”

”Big brother?”

”What do you think?”

Chen Xun held Little Crane’’s hand, looking down at her, ”And considering the current environment, it seems to be true.”

Little Chi and Mo Fuyang both looked puzzled, not understanding why the senior asked this.

Little Crane blinked a few times, her eyes darting around, seemingly anxious. Big brother was testing her again!

”Rumors are not to be trusted! Believe only half, and the other nine and a half must be felt by oneself!”

Little Crane shouted with all her might, her face glowing faintly, ”Big brother, I don’’t believe this era is as good as she says. One must think for oneself.”

Smack!

Chen Xun flicked her forehead, and Little Crane yelped, covering her head with her hands, looking up at her big brother with grievance.

”Are you reciting a spell to me? Huh?!”

”Woo, big brother...”

”Xun, let it go, let it go, calm down, Sister Crane is still young.”

”Moo moo~~”

Little Chi and Black Bull hurriedly held Chen Xun back, their expressions quite tense.

Mo Fuyang looked quite awkward, not knowing where to place his hands, and certainly not daring to intervene.

This senior was usually very gentle, and it was the first time he had seen him so serious.

Chen Xun snorted coldly, ”Little Crane, I’’ll give you another chance to organize your words, or I’’ll send you back to read now.”

The atmosphere instantly tensed, and their pace slowed a bit. Little Crane walked with her head down, still holding her head.
