I Have an Omen System

Chapter 371: Chapter 240: The Du Family’s Golden Core

"Miss Xuan’Er, catch!"

Ye Qingxuan cried out, pulling what looked like an ordinary Mutton Fat Jade Pendant from her robes and throwing it over forcefully.

"This is..."

Qin Xuan caught the Jade Pendant, discovering that while it looked ordinary, it was actually warm and smooth to the touch, of an extremely high grade.

Even his own Tier Three Treasure, the Yin Yang Demon Refining Furnace, might not be able to compare to it!

Ye Qingxuan explained, "This is a Life-saving Jade Talisman my master gave me. It can erupt with Extreme Cold Nascent Soul True Essence, which suppresses Desolate Qi."

"The Cyan Wood True Essence I cultivate is incompatible with it, so I can’t unleash its full power. Miss Xuan’Er, you take it. Let’s break out of here."

"Alright!"

Qin Xuan caught the Jade, pouring the Water Attribute True Essence simulated by his Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman into it.

WMMMM...

A profound and cold blue halo slowly poured out.

Like mercury flowing across the ground, the halo transformed into a deep blue curtain of light, rapidly spreading out from Qin Xuan and enveloping the Soul-Devouring Tiger.

A bone-chilling cold spread out—an ancient aura, completely different from the desolate stillness of the wilds.

"AWOOO... ROAR!"

The Soul-Devouring Tiger roared in pain, frantically swiping its sharp claws to tear at the curtain of light.

However, the Desolate Qi that had previously been unstoppable now seemed to have met its match, churning and dissipating.

"Whimper, whimper..."

The Soul-Devouring Tiger whimpered in terror, its eyes wide with fear.

Its movements became visibly stiff and sluggish.

Deep blue Ice Crystals spread up from the tips of its claws, covering its limbs, its torso...

In just two or three breaths, the once ferocious Soul-Devouring Tiger was frozen into a deep blue ice sculpture.

CRACK...

BANG!

The moment it hit the ground, the Soul-Devouring Tiger was still in a pouncing posture.

The ice sculpture shattered with a crisp sound into countless Ice Crystals. In its place, only a longan-sized, Dark Gold Beast Core containing Chaos Gray Qi was left, which rolled to a stop at Qin Xuan’s feet.

"What a formidable Demon Tiger. It was so hard to deal with after being tainted by Desolate Qi."

Qin Xuan panted lightly, picking up the Dark Gold Beast Core from the ground. He then glanced reluctantly at the Jade in his hand, its brilliance now contained.

’What a great treasure. It’s in my hands now, I really don’t want to give it back...’

Unfortunately, he was still in his Qin Xuan’Er disguise, and he couldn’t break character. Otherwise, there was no way Qin Xuan would be returning it.

Just as he was about to hand the Jade to Ye Qingxuan, to his surprise, she shook her head slightly.

"Miss Xuan’Er, you were trapped in the Demon Sect for so long because of me. I, Qingxuan, already feel terrible about it. Now that this item has come into your possession, consider it a gift. How could I possibly take it back?"

’This girl is so generous!’

Qin Xuan’s head snapped up. He suddenly didn’t dare to accept it, subconsciously suspecting a catch.

However, in the next moment, a stream of information flooded his mind.

[Profound Water Jade: A Tier Four Middle-grade Spirit Treasure. Contains Water Attribute Array Patterns personally inscribed by a Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch. It can suppress the Desolate Qi of Demon Beasts, clear the mind, and calm the spirit. If a Cultivator wears it long-term, it can slowly increase their Power of Divine Sense.]

As if blessed with sudden inspiration, Qin Xuan was overjoyed and instantly understood.

This was the Fourth Grade opportunity mentioned in the Divination!

’It’s actually a functional Tier Four Spirit Treasure... In terms of value, it might not even be inferior to a Tier Five True Artifact.’

While Qin Xuan was still in a daze, Ye Qingxuan took his hand.

"Miss Xuan’Er, we shouldn’t linger here."

With that, the two of them started running toward the outskirts of the Blood Demon Sword Sect.

Ye Qingxuan’s cold and stunningly beautiful face showed a hint of seriousness.

Yet for some reason, feeling the warmth of Qin Xuan’s palm, Ye Qingxuan’s pretty face couldn’t help but flush red and hot.

A strange, enchanting feeling blossomed in her heart.

’What’s wrong with me? Why am I having these kinds of thoughts about Miss Xuan’Er...?’

Ye Qingxuan’s face burned as she shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the thoughts from her mind.

Qin Xuan held Ye Qingxuan’s fair and delicate hand, which felt as soft as a cloud, but his mind was on something else entirely.

’If I sold this little lady to a Venerable Divinity Transformation right now, could I get a huge amount of Merit Points in return?’

Who would have thought that just as this idea arose, Qin Xuan would suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

Instantly, Qin Xuan’s face turned ashen, his aura visibly weakened, and it was as if all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had been drained away.

"Damn it, it’s the backlash from the Golden-Breaking Blood Talisman!"

Qin Xuan shut his eyes in alarm and looked inward, discovering that the Golden-Breaking Blood Talisman, which had been stable and calm within his Dantian, was now restless and agitated.

Rampant Demonic Qi was running amok inside his Dantian, wreaking havoc.

’Fuck, the backlash could have come at any time, but it had to be now?’

Qin Xuan’s face contorted, the veins on his snow-white neck bulging. His breathing grew ragged as he clutched Ye Qingxuan’s hand tightly, his expression pleading for help.

"Miss Xuan’Er, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!"

Ye Qingxuan’s beautiful face paled, and she lost her composure completely.

BOOM!

At the same time, a world-shaking explosion resounded from the distance.

The sky darkened. In the direction of Ten Thousand Bone Skull Ridge, a pillar of grayish-white Evil Qi shot into the sky before exploding violently mid-air.

The watching Liu Mobai’s eyes grew deep as he rapidly retreated. "The Golden Core is collapsing... It’s a backlash from the Earth Vein!"

As if to prove his words, grayish-white ripples spread out like a tide of death.

Wherever they passed, plants withered and rocks turned to dust.

A few streaks of Escape Light failed to dodge in time. They were struck by the ripples and immediately fell from the sky, screaming in agony.

Qin Xuan’s pupils contracted.

In an instant, he understood what had happened.

"That Purple Mansion True Demon... his Core Formation failed!"

Violent fluctuations of Demonic Essence raged. Even from such a great distance, he could feel the terrifying, heart-pounding aura.

Qin Xuan’s scalp tingled, and the fog in his mind instantly cleared.

A series of mysteries now all connected.

’If I had agreed to go with Liu Mobai to watch the ceremony at Ten Thousand Bone Skull Ridge, and the backlash from the Golden-Breaking Blood Talisman had just happened to act up then...’
