I Have an Omen System

Chapter 395: Chapter 248: Venerable Minghuan

"I can’t imagine how many Treasures of Heaven and Earth Venerable Minghuan must have spent for this. Now that he’s out of seclusion, while his Cultivation is still at the Purple Mansion Peak, his foundation has certainly been polished to be exceptionally solid."

"He’s come out of seclusion this time to prepare to head to the Cyan Cloud Sect and participate in the once-a-century Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm trial."

"Legend has it that at the core of that Boundary Heaven, there’s an Ancient Spirit Pool. It offers a chance to help one refine their Golden Core and improve its quality. However, there are strict restrictions on the Cultivation of those who enter; Cultivators at the Golden Core realm and above are forbidden. He has suppressed his Cultivation until now precisely to try his luck."

Qin Xuan’s scalp tingled with dread the more he listened.

’Damn it. Because of my unintentional interference when I first transmigrated here fifty years ago, I’ve ended up blocking this Demon Second Generation from two great opportunities to become the Demon Child.’

’The first time might have been unintentional, but how could I explain the second time, when I became the Demon Child myself?’

’This grudge runs way too deep.’

No wonder Lu Hanzhou didn’t even bother with words when he saw him and just went straight for the kill.

’Thankfully... the Divination gave me a warning, allowing me to prepare in advance and delay for a moment.’

Qin Xuan mused to himself.

’If not for the Divination’s warning that bought me a split second to react, I probably wouldn’t have lasted until Chen Xuanba arrived. Even if I hadn’t died, I would have had to use all my trump cards and would have been severely injured.’

Chen Xuanba seemed to see through his lingering fear and said coolly, "Lu Hanzhou is a vengeful, sinister, and ruthless person. Although he has retreated today, he will absolutely not let this go. You must be extremely careful in the future."

’Of course I know that,’ Qin Xuan thought.

’First, I unintentionally cut off his path to becoming the Demon Child, and then I happened to show up at a critical moment when he was pursuing the Great Dao...’

’This grudge... it’s like the heavens themselves tied us together with the threads of karma and pulled them tight enough to kill!’

"However, you don’t need to worry too much. After this incident, Venerable Linglong is now paying attention. He won’t have an opportunity like this again in the future."

"Venerable Minghuan isn’t the type to shield his own, either. Even if you had killed Junior Brother Lu, he wouldn’t have held it against you."

As he spoke, Chen Xuanba flipped his hand over.

Spiritual light gathered above his palm, and a cluster of blue, misty light materialized out of thin air.

The moment the misty light appeared, the temperature in the entire stone grotto plummeted.

A thick layer of frost formed on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan immediately guessed what it was. He struggled to suppress his excitement and said, "Senior Brother Chen, is this..."

"That’s right. It’s exactly what you think it is. Born at the Bottom of the Ten Thousand Feet Profound Ice Cave, nurtured by the essence of a Thousand-Year Cold Vein—the Tier Four Five Elements Spiritual Object, Extremely Cold Profound Ice."

Within the misty light, a fist-sized, irregularly shaped blue Ice Crystal was faintly visible.

Chen Xuanba explained, "This item contains a sliver of a Taiyin Cold Evil Dao Principle Fragment. It is a supreme treasure for Cultivators who practice Ice or Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques."

"It can be directly absorbed and refined to improve the quality of one’s Spiritual Power and raise one’s Cultivation. One can also use it to comprehend the Taiyin Coldness. Even if your attributes don’t match, it can be used as a core material for forging a Tier Five Dao Artifact, making it priceless."

"Venerable Linglong specifically instructed me to bring this to you personally. Consider it one of the rewards for officially becoming the Demon Child."

"Thank you, Venerable. And thank you, Senior Brother Chen."

Qin Xuan accepted it solemnly.

He examined it closely and discovered that the Ice Crystal was not static. On its surface, countless fine, star-like grains of sand were continuously growing and shattering.

In an endless cycle, it emitted an extreme coldness.

Even more mysteriously, at the core of this blue Ice Crystal, a wisp of white, life-like cold air was slowly circulating.

Wherever it passed, even light seemed to distort slightly.

The moment it was in his hand, an extremely cold qi ravaged him. If not for his powerful Flesh Body, he probably would have been frostbitten in an instant.

"Stop staring. Keep it safe. Although this item is only Tier Four, it’s a rare sight even in the hands of the Demon Monarchs. Otherwise, Lu Hanzhou wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to personally come and seize it."

Chen Xuanba advised, then immediately took out a transparent jade bottle.

The body of the bottle was inscribed with complex talismans, and sealed within was a swirling, roaring, gray-black hurricane!

Qin Xuan said in shock, "Senior Brother Chen, what is this...?"

"This is the Yin Crow Gang Wind, a wisp of Extinction Death Qi naturally formed in the Nine Netherworld Forbidden Land."

Chen Xuanba handed the jade bottle over and explained, "Although it can’t compare to a Five Elements Spiritual Object, it is still a Tier Four Heavenly Spirit Evil Qi."

"You now possess the Extremely Cold Profound Ice and carry the legacy of the Giant Spirit Blood Demon. You might be able to obtain the Molten Gold Earth Fire and, with the addition of a Tier Four Earth Attribute Spiritual Object..."

"...once you gather the four minor phenomena—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—you can attempt to condense a Perfect Golden Core."

"Although it can’t compare to a Perfect Immaculate Golden Core, it will be more than enough to ensure a smooth path in your cultivation."

Qin Xuan was overjoyed.
