Chapter 191 143: Dual Cultivation Magical Artifact
The cultivators from Jingshui Pavilion, on the other hand, were all stunningly beautiful Fairies with cool and aloof expressions. They stood suspended in mid-air, drawing the gazes of many male cultivators who stared, utterly entranced.
Including Zheng Xian.
After seeing the beauty of the female cultivators from Jingshui Pavilion, Zheng Xian's eyes stopped wandering over to Huang Caiyu of the Hee Mountain Huang Family. His thoughts were now completely captivated.
'A Fairy from Jingshui Pavilion is walking toward me?' Zheng Xian froze, his expression immediately turning tense.
He worried that his "staring" had displeased the female cultivator from Jingshui Pavilion, and she was coming over specifically to warn him.
Zheng Xian immediately lowered his head and averted his gaze, not daring to look around anymore.
However, just then, he suddenly caught sight of something in his peripheral vision. The two Fairies from Jingshui Pavilion who had been heading in his direction just a moment ago had now bypassed the Xuefeng Zheng Family's station and gone straight to the Hee Mountain Huang Family's.
'Their target is Wei Tu? To think that Wei Tu, who seems so focused on his cultivation, is just like me—a man who appreciates beautiful women.'
Contempt grew in Zheng Xian's heart.
However—
The next moment.
He was dumbfounded.
The two female cultivators from Jingshui Pavilion who went to the Hee Mountain Huang Family's station weren't there to reprimand Wei Tu. On the contrary, they were chatting cheerfully with him.
'Who is this Wei Tu?' Zheng Xian was stunned, and he began to regret his earlier actions of offending Wei Tu.
He had initially thought Wei Tu was just an insignificant Tributor who had been an Independent Cultivator, but he never expected Wei Tu to have such deep connections.
...
「The Hee Mountain Huang Family's Station.」
"This is a Shuangming Jade. It has a main piece and a vice piece. The holders can sense each other within a hundred-li radius..." Master Qin found Wei Tu and handed him a Magical Artifact.
The Magical Artifact was fashioned in the shape of a phoenix. It was a single Jade Pendant, with the Vice Jade inlaid within the main one. Once the Vice Jade was removed, the main jade had a hollowed-out appearance.
Wei Tu took the Vice Jade and dripped a drop of his Essence Blood onto it.
In an instant, he could faintly sense the existence of the other main jade, as well as... the subtle fluctuations in Master Qin's emotions.
Just then, Kou Hongying sent a timely voice transmission to Wei Tu, explaining the secret of the "Shuangming Jade."
It turned out that the "Shuangming Jade" was a secret "Dual Cultivation Magical Artifact" from Jingshui Pavilion. By using this artifact, Dao Companions could become truly "of one heart and mind," allowing them to practice certain dual cultivation Secret Techniques.
Long-range Sensing Magical Artifacts were rare, even in a place like Jingshui Pavilion.
Therefore, Master Qin could only choose the cheaper "Shuangming Jade" to maintain contact with Wei Tu.
Hearing this, Wei Tu looked up and saw a faint blush on Master Qin's cheeks.
Wei Tu didn't say anything to expose the "Shuangming Jade" as a Dual Cultivation Magical Artifact. He simply nodded and thanked Master Qin.
"As for Hongying, she and I practice the same Cultivation Technique, so I can sense her using a Secret Technique. We won't need the Shuangming Jade."
"After entering the Yunze Secret Realm, remember this, Fellow Daoist Wei: find me immediately."
Master Qin instructed him earnestly, her expression having returned to normal.
With that said, Master Qin flicked her cloud-like sleeves and prepared to leave the Hee Mountain Huang Family's station.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please wait a moment."
Wei Tu called out to stop Master Qin.
"What is it?" Master Qin looked at Wei Tu, slightly surprised and confused.
"After breaking through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, my Talisman Dao has improved slightly. These are two Middle-Stage Tier Two Talismans. Please consider them a token of my gratitude for the Shuangming Jade you gave me, Fellow Daoist Qin." Wei Tu paused for a moment before taking out two Talismans and discreetly pressing them into Master Qin's hand.
'Leaving aside the value of the Shuangming Jade, once I enter the Yunze Secret Realm, I'll need to rely on Master Qin's protection to get a firm foothold... I absolutely cannot skimp on this bit of money now.'
Master Qin felt the Talismans, and her gaze toward Wei Tu softened a little.
After giving the Talismans to Master Qin, Wei Tu took out some Life-Saving Talismans from his Talisman Box and gave them to Kou Hongying.
Usually, friends should keep clear accounts, but at a time like this, there was no need for that.
Having known each other for many years, Wei Tu trusted Kou Hongying's character.
"Thank you, Uncle Wei." Kou Hongying's heart warmed, and she accepted the Talismans with delight.
After he had given out the Talismans, Wei Tu watched the two women leave.
'Tier Two Middle-Grade Talismans?' Huang Xinglie, who was meditating off to the side, saw this exchange. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and he called Wei Tu over to his side.
—Just now, although Wei Tu's movements had been discreet, they had not escaped his Golden Core-level senses.
"This is a Golden Silk Armor I used in my younger years, a Tier Two Upper-Grade Magical Artifact. For this trip to the Secret Realm, you can wear it for now."
In front of everyone, Huang Xinglie took out a palm-sized suit of Golden Silk Armor and handed it to Wei Tu.
"Third Grand-uncle, isn't that Golden Silk Armor your treasured possession?" Huang Caiyu's eyes revealed a hint of shock as she heard this, and she quickly spoke up.
She had begged Huang Xinglie to lend her this Golden Silk Armor for the trip to the Yunze Secret Realm, but he had flatly refused.
But now, Huang Xinglie was lending this Tier Two Upper-Grade Golden Silk Armor to Wei Tu, an outsider.
How could this not frustrate her?
"It's just one Tier Two Upper-Grade Defensive Magical Artifact. You already have two on you," Huang Xinglie rebuked her, his tone cold.
Huang Caiyu immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Wei Tu bowed his thanks and accepted the Golden Silk Armor from the hands of Huang Xinglie, the Golden Core Ancestor.
At this moment, he understood perfectly. The reason Huang Xinglie had given him the Golden Silk Armor was undoubtedly because he had seen the Tier Two Middle-Grade Talismans Wei Tu gave to Master Qin, which sparked in him an appreciation for his "talent in the Talisman Dao."
After expressing his thanks, Wei Tu sat down cross-legged to one side and began the Refinement of the Golden Silk Armor in his hands.
...
「Another three to five days passed.」
Huang Xinglie took out the Array Plate that Wei Tu had seen before and, joining forces with the other Golden Core True Monarchs, began to open the entrance to the Yunze Secret Realm, which existed in an Alternate Space.
