Chapter 422: Another Brother Comes

Upon hearing this, Tang Lei's cheeks showed a little anxiety. She thought that Qi Yuan's tone was a bit too casual, as there were two people in the fusion stage sitting there.

She secretly reached out her delicate hand and carefully tugged at the corner of the man's clothes to give him a reminder.

Qi Yuan turned his head, smiled at her and ignored her. If he failed to calm the mind of a person in the fusion stage when they first met, it would be very difficult to do so in the future.

He was betting that the Five Elements Heavenly Palace needed the relationship with Ancestor Ao Xiao.

The square-faced man on the Qilin Jade Chair never had any change in expression, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or joyful. However, his eyes were shining and cold, as if he was indifferent to life, aging, sickness, and death.

Wu Hui was indeed feeling a little unhappy. The boy's cultivation level was only at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even with Ao Xiao's support, he was a bit too bold. He didn't even take him seriously?
An imperceptible gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he looked at Qi Yuan. A familiar aura came to his face, and it was particularly strong.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This is the breath of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. He had come into contact with Ao Xiao in his early years, so he had a very deep memory of the breath of the wolf clan.

Qi Yuan is a human being with the identity of a human being and possesses the five elements of spiritual roots. Has he really caught Ao Xiao's eye and was recruited as his grandson-in-law?

After all, when Ao Xiao's pardon was issued, many cultivators continued to dig deeper into its meaning, and eventually took the trouble to expose the embarrassing incident of Tiankui Wolf King being cuckolded.

It caused a sensation for a while and everyone in the city knew about it.

The sensible monks had already kept their mouths shut to avoid trouble, while many of the ignorant monks had mysteriously disappeared or were sent to bitter and cold places, where their cultivation had been severely hindered.

Wu Hui saw Qi Yuan's attitude today, and saw the strong aura of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan from him. Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he immediately smiled:
"Are you Qi Yuan? With the aptitude of the five elements spiritual roots, you have cultivated to the Spiritual Transformation Stage in the lower realm. You are truly a young man to be feared."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior. I was lucky enough to get a few opportunities, and only then was I able to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage." Qi Yuan replied, still maintaining his original expression.

what!
The Palace Master didn’t lose his temper?

Tang Lei's watery eyes dulled for a moment, her heart a little dazed. She knew the Palace Master's temper quite well. He attached great importance to his own dignity. In the past, any disciple who offended him would be severely reprimanded.

"Who among us cultivators who have come this far has not had a few opportunities? This just shows that you have a deep fortune and your destiny is beyond that of ordinary cultivators."

"Since you have practiced the Reversed Five Elements Art, I would like to ask if you are willing to join the Five Elements Heavenly Palace? I see that you have a strong aura and should have comprehended the art very deeply, but after all, your understanding of the five elements is quite shallow and you are unable to maximize the damage of the five elements."

Wu Hui extended the olive branch with a smile on his face.

This statement may not have a miraculous effect on others, but for cultivators with the five elements spiritual roots, it is an opportunity to receive guidance from an expert.

Even other cultivators, in order to achieve the unity of the five elements and break through to the Void Refining Stage, would plant spiritual roots of other attributes in their bodies to form pseudo qualifications of the five elements spiritual roots.

However, his extraordinary talent has not been erased, and the magic formula he was supposed to focus on has not changed, so he does not need to worry about the power of the five elements at all.

The innate five elements spiritual roots are different. Only the spells that are in line with the five elements' attributes are the most suitable for their qualifications. It is difficult to exert the same power if other spells are used.

Qi Yuan understood the other party's price, but his appetite was too big, and he was not only thinking about comprehending the five elements, so he said:

"I am standing here with the intention of joining the sect, but I also need to go to listen to the teachings of Patriarch Ao Xiao, so I can't stay in the palace all the time. What should I do if my cultivation is interrupted?"

“Hmm? You have big ambitions, but since you swear by your inner demon that you will never betray the Five Elements Palace, I will try my best to agree to it.” Wu Hui sneered in his heart and said calmly.

Benefit exchange!

Qi Yuan had never thought from the beginning that he could get something for free. His status as a Mahayana cultivator was just a qualification, and it was not enough to make a fusion cultivator lose his mind...

Said: "Can you verify the value first?"

If Wu Hui had not deduced the secret of cultivating to the Mahayana stage, he would have suffered a great loss if he had rashly agreed to it.

There will be no problem as long as he does not rebel against the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Once his cultivation level reaches a high level, no one will dare to cause trouble for him.

"Husband, think twice."

Jiang Hongling frowned slightly and reminded the man appropriately.

Wu Hui turned his head, glanced at his wife, and gave her a reassuring look. He was determined to stick to the relationship with Ao Xiao.

He immediately took out a colorful jade slip from his storage bracelet and flicked it down...

He said: "This is my Reversed Five Elements Art. It contains many annotations and insights that have not been circulated. After you read it, you will be a member of my Five Elements Palace for life. Your freedom to go out will not be restricted, but you must not stand idly by when our sect encounters a disaster."

Qi Yuan did not answer first. He took a quick look at the five-colored jade slip with his spiritual sense and found that there was indeed a level of cultivation to the Mahayana stage. His expression changed slightly and he smiled and said, "I will not break my promise before."

Hearing this…

Wu Hui nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan swore an oath on his inner demon in exchange for the subsequent techniques of the Reversed Five Elements Technique. In addition to the number of levels, it also included several major magical powers, comprehension of Dharma images, and experience in nurturing one's own magic treasure. These were all important experiences that Wu Hui had painstakingly comprehended.

“Haha, okay, little friend Qi, since you are entering the Five Elements Palace today, how about you take me as your master? Then I can carefully guide you in your practice.” Wu Hui laughed and spoke in a happy mood.

Qi Yuan looked thoughtful and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to agree to the Palace Master's kindness. I already have a master, so it is not appropriate for me to worship a second master."

"Your master should be in the lower world, right? Besides, how can a cultivator be distracted by all these rules and regulations..." Wu Hui said with a frown.

At his level of fusion, it was already a great honor for him to take the initiative to ask for a disciple.

"Today, I have become a disciple of the second master. One day, I will be able to become a disciple of the third master." Qi Yuan said meaningfully.

A cold light flashed in Wu Hui's eyes, and he did not insist on becoming his disciple. However, he still felt something was wrong if he did not strengthen his relationship with Qi Yuan.

The next moment he said something shocking: "I admire your character very much, so let's become brothers. You can't refuse this."

what?
Everyone present was suddenly shocked.

Qi Yuan muttered to himself, the previous big brother with a different surname had already been forgotten, why are there still people rushing to become sworn brothers with him?

He shouldn't have the attribute of killing his elder brother, right?

"Husband, you are not confused, are you?" Jiang Hongling said to the person next to her.

Wu Hui responded impatiently: "I have my own ideas on this matter, Madam, there is no need to worry too much."

Tang Lei thought to herself, Qi Yuan and the Palace Master have become sworn brothers, so how should she address the man? After all, they had physical contact.

Things have come to this point, Qi Yuan can only accept Wu Hui as his elder brother of a different surname, otherwise, the magic formula he has obtained with great difficulty will be wasted.

“My dear brother, why don’t you call me brother? This is your sister-in-law Jiang Hongling…” Wu Hui said with a smile in his eyes.

Qi Yuan was busy asking Wu Hui for the spell before, so he didn't notice the appearance of the beautiful woman in the green palace dress. After a closer look, he found that the beautiful woman was as beautiful as a flower. She had delicate eyebrows, charming almond eyes, skin as white as cream, and a temperament that revealed elegance and luxury, like a pampered lady.

The sitting posture is also very graceful, which is pleasing to the eye.

However, Qi Yuan was also a man who had experienced many ups and downs. Even though the beautiful woman was seducing him, he withdrew his gaze without any regret and said, "Brother, sister-in-law..."

Wu Hui kept an eye on Qi Yuan's every move, and when he saw that he didn't show anything out of the ordinary, the smile on his face became three times more intense.

Jiang Hongling's perception was not bad either. A charming smile appeared on her graceful face. She said softly, "Don't be so restrained. My second brother must be exhausted after traveling all the way to the Five Elements Palace. Lei'er, take the others to rest."

Wu Hui did not try to persuade her to stay.

Qi Yuan followed what he was told and left the hall with Tang Lei.

After the two walked away, Jiang Hongling sighed and said, "Qi Yuan is related to Ao Xiao, but they are not sworn brothers, right?"

“Madam, you should use the art of observing Qi Yuan. He has a strong aura of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, just like a direct descendant. This means the rumors are true, and the eldest princess of the wolf clan has an affair with him.” Wu Hui responded calmly.

Jiang Hongling said, "Even if they have a secret affair, my husband is too impulsive. I have not yet prepared to face the sudden appearance of a sworn brother."

"Haha, chances cannot be missed. I don't want to miss this rare opportunity. As long as Qi Yuan is a member of the Five Elements Palace, others will have to consider the possible reaction of Ao Xiao, and at the same time, deter certain people with ill intentions."

Wu Hui snorted coldly. He relied on too much external forces back then, and now he is unable to control the situation.

Jiang Hongling knew the difficulties of the Five Elements Palace and remained silent.

In the following days, in addition to the welcoming ceremony, Qi Yuan, under the guidance of Tang Lei, appreciated the scenery of the Five Elements Palace.

It took five full days before one could get the chance to refine one's natal magic weapon.

The spiritual materials for the Falling Heart Tears were not too difficult to find. Qi Yuan had already collected them when he was in Tianyuan City, waiting for this day.

The Five Elements Futian Tower has been calcined by the red flames of the earth spirit and fused with the Falling Heart Tears, making the power of the five elements of the pagoda softer and greatly reducing the phenomenon of mutual exclusion.

Thereby the damage of the natal magic weapon is increased and its grade is raised accordingly.

In a large hall built with red jade bricks, a long plaque with the words "Spiritual Artifact Hall" hung high above the door. There were not many monks in the hall, but the air was filled with a hot breath.

"The Earth Spirit Red Flame is in the weapon refining room in the hall. Any room can be used to refine one's own life magic weapon. This is the token to open it. Keep it."

Tang Lei took out a warm yellowish jade pendant from her arms, with a "Qi" character carved in the middle and an array pattern engraved on it.

After Qi Yuan took it, he turned the earthy yellow jade pendant over in his palm, studied it carefully, and said, "After I refine my life treasure, I will invite you to drink some wine to express my gratitude."

"It's settled then." Tang Lei said with her eyes lighting up.

After spending these days together, she found Qi Yuan to be quite nice, thinking about the happy times they had had together in the past.

It's not impossible for their relationship to develop a deeper level.

Qi Yuan said "hmm", and then his figure swept into the depths of the Spirit Weapon Hall and walked along the corridor. There were many refining rooms on both sides, and there was a small groove about an inch long next to the door.

After selecting a weapon refining room, he placed the ochre jade pendant into the groove. It instantly emitted a rosy glow and the two doors slowly opened.

Then he took off the ochre jade pendant, walked into the room, and closed it again by himself.

On the walls of the room, there are several oil lamps that never go out all year round, and a few wooden chairs are leaning against the corners. At the same time, on a long table, there are some simple refining tools.

In the center, there is a ball of red flame rising from the ground. It looks no different from an ordinary flame, but it contains a strong sense of chill.

The red flame of the earth spirit.

A product condensed by absorbing the power of the earth and the earth's yin energy.

In combat, it causes almost no harm, just like tickling, but when used in refining equipment, it shows remarkable effect.

Qi Yuan's eyes were determined, and he summoned the Five Elements Futian Tower. With a pinch of his hand, colorful rays of light gushed out and landed on the red flame of the earth spirit, controlling it.

The Five Elements Futian Tower flashed and fell into the ball of spiritual flames, suddenly making a crisp sound.

Colorful rays of light shot out from the pagoda, penetrating the red flames of the earth.

It seems that this little bit of earth spirit red flame alone is not enough to shake the natal magic weapon. Qi Yuan urged the magic formula, and the fire in the room instantly became seven or eight times brighter.

I saw the pagoda was wrapped in a huge spiritual flame, and special spiritual auras penetrated into the pagoda, changing the structure of the natal magic weapon.

The storage bracelet on Qi Yuan's wrist flashed, and a small bottle with a thin neck fell down. He directed it to fly above his natal magic weapon, and blue water drops fell from the mouth of the bottle and sank into the Five Elements Futian Tower.

The red flame of the earth spirit exploded with a sound, sparks flew everywhere, and spiritual light was faint.

The Five Elements Futian Tower was buzzing.

Qi Yuan formed seals with his hands and emitted a mysterious weapon-refining aura that blasted into the pagoda. He then controlled the falling Heart Tears to drop at the same time, continuously tempering his natal magic weapon.

The seven days passed in a flash.

The red flame of the earth spirit in the refining room has greatly weakened, shrinking into a cluster of weak flames that can be blown out by the wind at any time.

Above the spiritual flame, a small colorful tower was slowly rotating. The light was extremely soft and the aura of the magic weapon was much more restrained.

There is absolutely no striking sparkle.

"Not bad, it has already reached the level of a high-level spiritual treasure. If I find some rare spiritual objects to melt into it, it can continue to grow."

Qi Yuan looked at his own natal magic weapon with a satisfied look on his face. It would not be difficult to find the five elements materials.

What’s rare is that rare spiritual materials rarely circulate outside, and they are usually in the hands of high-level monks waiting to be sold at a high price.

It is impossible to find any trace of it in ordinary markets, and it is only easy to see it in large business alliances or auction houses.

"receive…"

Qi Yuan drove his natal magic weapon back and continued to nurture it inside his body. He thought that both tasks had been accomplished and he was about to go deeper into the wild world.

However, he saw that Tang Lei was showing some signs of falling in love with him, so he captured her heart before leaving.

When they were in the human world, they had had sex, so when they met again, he would not let her get away. (End of this chapter)
