Chapter 727 - - 544 Let’s give the master a surprise_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Thank you, Senior Brother,” Duge said, overwhelmed with joy, as he bowed to Qing Shan once again.

“You needn’t be so formal with your Senior Brother,” Qing Shan waved his hand, smiling, “If you run into troubles during your journey, you can summon a Day Roaming God and have them inform me. I’ll help you resolve the issues.”

“I will,” Duge said with a smile, presenting the token given to him by the South Peak Emperor, “Master has already instructed me on how to dispatch the Day Roaming Gods. I will inevitably trouble you, Third Senior Brother, in the future.”

Seeing the token, both Qing Luan and Qing Shan were taken aback, their gazes towards Duge becoming even more cautious.

Following that,

Duge paid successive visits to Qinghe who oversaw the Night Roaming Gods, Qing Feng in charge of the Mountain Gods, Qing Yun who managed the City Gods, and Qing Ming governing the Land Gods…

Using the One Yuan Heavy Water he casually condensed, he brushed up the goodwill, also tricking them into giving away many fine items, including elixirs, talismans, and protective magical artifacts…

The name of Qing Sheng, the closed-door disciple of the South Peak Emperor, spread throughout the entire dojo of the South Peak Emperor as Duge made his round of visits, and everyone knew that the junior brother Qing Sheng was highly favored by their master.

…

“Senior Brother, let’s go, to train and gain experience,” Duge, who had scoured the area, stored his treasures in his sleeves using the Mustard Seed Method, and called out to his eldest Senior Brother Qing Luan.

“What about mine?” Qing Luan frowned slightly as he looked at Duge, who hadn’t shown any token of gifting, “It’s not the scarcity but the inequality that grates. You’ve given a round of gifts to everyone but forgot about your eldest Senior Brother, inevitably making me feel somewhat uncomfortable.”

Duge was taken aback, then pretended as though he had just remembered, and chuckled. He hid his hands behind his back, quickly condensing an oversized drop of One Yuan Heavy Water and presented it to Qing Luan with both hands, “How could I forget you when Senior Brother is taking me out to cultivate? Yours is the largest; I put the most thought into it…”

Seeing the One Yuan Heavy Water, Qing Luan’s mood brightened instantly. He shook his head and took out a set of magical artifacts he had prepared for a long time, “Elixirs and talismans, the other Senior Brothers have given you. I can’t be stingy, so I’ll give you a set of magical artifacts. This set of artifacts is called the Sky Gang beads and was obtained from the Bureau of Artisans at the Heavenly Court. When the nine beads are joined together for defense, they can withstand a strike from a Golden Immortal. Used in offense, each bead has enough power to kill a True Immortal. Unless it is absolutely necessary, never call upon such artifacts.”

Kill a True Immortal?

Duge stared at the nine Sky Gang beads strung together in Qing Luan’s palm, stunned. Could it be a mistake? You’re only a True Immortal yourself; aren’t you afraid I’ll smash all these beads on you?

The Trinkets in the Immortal Martial World sure are troublesome; they’re difficult to guard against!

“Junior Brother, take it, what are you thinking about?” urged Qing Luan.

“Senior Brother, the Sky Gang beads are too precious; I can’t accept them,” Duge shook his head earnestly, “Heading out for cultivation, having Senior Brother’s protection is enough for me; I won’t need to use this set of artifacts. Some elixirs from you would be sufficient.”

“You have only just entered the Unity Realm Stage; it’s the elixirs that are truly useless to you,” Qing Luan said with a smile as he placed the Sky Gang beads into Duge’s palm, “If I tell you to take them, just take them. If they’re not useful now, there will come a time when they are. As for elixirs, with Master around, would you ever run short?”

“Thank you, Senior Brother,” Duge said, looking at the lustrous Sky Gang beads in his palm, “Senior Brother Qing Luan, if I find any good treasures in the future, I will definitely think of you first.”

“It’s the thought that counts,” Qing Luan replied with a smile, patting Duge’s head, his impression of this sensible junior brother reaching new heights.

…

“Junior Brother, did you just say that you condensed the One Yuan Heavy Water yourself?”

As he took Duge away from Suspended Mountain, Qing Luan drove his cloud leisurely, in no rush to make haste. Given that the Master had even provided this junior brother with a token, he felt it was necessary to understand more about this junior brother and deepen their bond.

“Senior Brother, I am an Innate Water Spirit, and after Integration Dao, I gained the ability to consolidate One Yuan Heavy Water,” Duge answered Qing Luan nonchalantly while feeling the enhancements that came with his recent ascension to the Unity Realm Stage. His perceptual range had expanded further, now seemingly extending to a thousand miles away.

Keep in mind that in this world, he’s bereft of the Power of Faith, and his attributes are barely upgraded.

The attributes gained from New Moon Country, though fierce, aren’t enough to use. If it weren’t for his care to maintain obedience, the attributes gained from his well-behaved facade these past days would have likely dissipated already.

If his attributes haven’t grown much, his current achievements must be due to the effects of the Divine Body.

With the way things are progressing, someday when he becomes a Golden Immortal, he might cover the entire continent with his perception even without relying on skills!

His perception can cover such a wide area?

Daoist Ancestors and Immortal Emperors, the top echelons of the world, should entirely be capable of monitoring the whole world, right?

His actions should be unable to escape the notice of these powerful beings; is it because there are too many people to monitor, or is there another reason?

In Earth’s mythology, immortals often had the ability to divine, to calculate the causes and consequences of events with a pinch of their fingers.

Yet, in this world, Duge had yet to find similar spells, and people like Xu Jinkui had never mentioned divination methods either?

How strange!

…

An Innate Water Spirit?

Qing Luan was momentarily taken aback, finally understanding why the Emperor esteemed him so.

One Yuan Heavy Water could refine primordial spirits, and while it had a greater effect on ordinary cultivators, it was not without its benefits for them. If there was a sufficient quantity, it could completely enhance their own Immortal Bodies.

“Junior Brother, don’t tell others about your Innate Water Spirit and your Divine Skills; it could easily bring disaster upon you,” Qing Luan realized the importance of his junior brother and gave the naïve Duge a solemn warning.
