"Oh, this guy has such good eyesight!" The man on the wooden door said in surprise as he looked at the crystal clear drop of ghost tears in Liu Jun's hand.
According to legend, these are the tears condensed by the first generation of ghost mothers in the divine world over endless years. They contain endless sadness and strength. For ghosts, they are undoubtedly the supreme treasure. In this treasure house, there are treasures as vast as the sea. , which is enough to rank among the top five. However, he didn't understand that Liu Jun had no ghost energy, so why would he choose such a priceless treasure for ghost cultivators? Could it be that he wanted to use it to make elixirs?
The face on the wooden door was full of curiosity and his brows were furrowed, as if he was trying to figure out Liu Jun's true intentions.
Ancestor Yining on the side spoke slowly, with a deep light shining in his eyes, "This little guy has good eyesight, and the secrets he hides are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. His trump cards are endless. Even this old man is not completely sure of what he can do. Better than him.”
"Hiss—it's impossible, right?" Hearing this, the man on the wooden door couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, his face full of disbelief, "How can he cross such a huge realm gap when he is only at the late stage of the Lord God level? To be compared with you, a strong man in the middle stage of the Half-Step God King Realm? This is simply a fantasy!”
"Intuition is sometimes more reliable than any evidence." Ancestor Yi Ning smiled slightly, with undoubted firmness in his tone, "My intuition tells me that he has such strength, and may even be far beyond it. .”
While the two were talking, Liu Jun's movements attracted their attention again. He stretched out his hand and gently picked up a fruit from the jade box. The fruit was all white, like the first snow in winter. It was oval in shape, with a smooth and flawless surface. It exuded a faint fragrance. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it tasted extremely delicious. tasty.
"Good fellow, our Ice Palace is probably going to bleed heavily this time." Seeing this, the man on the wooden door couldn't help but smile bitterly, his eyes full of pain.
This fruit is not extraordinary. Although I don’t know what it is called, it is a rare spiritual fruit that has been stored in the Ice Palace for many years. It is the only fruit in the entire Ice Palace. It contains huge spiritual power and life essence, and is of great benefit to practice. , it is rare for even the top brass of the Ice Palace to see it on weekdays, let alone being taken away so easily.
Liu Jun, on the other hand, seemed to turn a blind eye to such a precious treasure. He just smiled indifferently, then put the strange fruit into his bag very casually, and then continued to carefully look through this dazzling treasure house. He carefully searched for other items that might be of great use to him.
Finally, Liu Jun slowly stopped in front of a unique long sword. This long sword was obviously made for women. The blade was not only narrow but also slender. The pale pink hilt exuded a charming color and lingered with a faint and refreshing fragrance.
When Liu Jun picked up the sword and looked at it carefully, even the ancestor Yi Ning, who was always known for his generosity, could not help but show a look of pain on his face.
The name of this sword is Chun Yun, and it is the weapon used by the first palace master of the Ice Palace. It is said that this sword was crafted by a world-famous weapon refining master who spent all his efforts and efforts. It can be called this The master's most proud and outstanding work.
When Liu Jun put the Chun Yun safely into his storage space, the strange face on the wooden door and the face of ancestor Yining both showed obvious signs of pain.
"How about telling me?" the face on the wooden door said hesitantly.
"No, if you tell him to pick, let him pick. I will accept whatever he picks!" Ancestor Yi Ning responded decisively.
"Aren't you distressed?" The face of the man inlaid on the wooden door was full of suspicion, and his tone was filled with confusion and inquiry.
"I don't feel bad! I'll take it as a bet," Ancestor Yi Ning gritted his teeth and said firmly. There was a kind of determination and courage in that look.
When Liu Jun walked back slowly, Ancestor Yi Ning had successfully adjusted his emotions. With a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face, he looked at Liu Jun with gentle eyes and asked, "Pick everything." ”
"It's done. Thank you, Ancestor Yi Ning. If anything happens to the Ice Palace in the future, I, Liu Jun, will definitely help me with all my strength!" Liu Jun said solemnly, with an unquestionable light shining in his firm eyes, as if he was making a decision. A solemn oath.
"Okay, as long as you say this, let's go." Ancestor Yi Ning turned slightly sideways and made an elegant gesture of invitation, with smooth and natural movements.
The two then returned along the way they came, gradually leaving the mysterious and precious Ice Palace treasure house.
On the long road back to the meeting hall, I met various Ice Palace disciples who came here one after another. They were full of curiosity and admiration, and seemed eager to see Liu Jun, the great man who had become famous throughout the God Realm some time ago. However, due to the majestic presence of Ancestor Yi Ning, they could only watch from a distance, not daring to get even half a step closer, for fear that they would violate some taboo if they were not careful.
Patriarch Yi Ning suddenly stopped, looked at Supreme Elder Liu Jun intently, and asked slowly: "Supreme Elder Liu Jun, how do you feel about our Ice Palace?"
Liu Jun nodded slightly and responded: "Well, the Ice Palace is very good. The internal members are united and treat each other warmly and kindly."
Ancestor Yi Ning looked solemn and continued: "If, I mean if, there is such a rare opportunity that allows you to directly become the ancestor of Ice Palace, with the same status as me, would you be willing?"
Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Well, I don't actually have a strong sense of responsibility. I have always been just an ordinary little person. I really can't afford such an important and respected title. .”
If he still couldn't understand the profound meaning of ancestor Yi Ning at this time, then Liu Jun would really become a stupid person.
After hearing this, Patriarch Yining nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "If one day you figure it out and no longer want to stay in Danzong, the door of Ice Palace will always be open to you, and we will treat you with the highest etiquette. The treatment will welcome your arrival, and this ancestor's position will always be reserved for you." It seemed that he had already known Liu Jun's answer, and ancestor Yi Ning had no intention of forcing Liu Jun from the beginning to the end.
When the two of them returned to the door of the meeting hall, a rich and alluring aroma of delicious food was like an invisible ribbon, gently brushing the tip of Liu Jun's nose, causing Liu Jun to take a deep breath involuntarily, as if to take this away. Inhale all the wonderful flavors into your body.
Liu Jun raised his eyes and saw that the meeting hall had been completely renewed. Nine long tables were arranged in an orderly manner, like nine giant dragons lying quietly in it. Each long table is equipped with several exquisite chairs on both sides, and each chair is occupied by a high-level executive or outstanding disciple of the Ice Palace.
The meeting hall of the Ice Palace is indeed worthy of its reputation. The space is spacious and magnificent. Even with so many tables and chairs, it does not appear crowded at all, but adds a bit of excitement and celebration.
These long tables are already densely covered with all kinds of delicacies. Some are colorful, like paint on a palette; some are fragrant and make people salivate; some are unique in shape, as pleasing to the eye as works of art. Among them, there are many rare species that are rarely seen outside, such as rare spiritual animal meat, valuable spiritual grass mushrooms, etc. The preciousness of these ingredients is evident. It can be seen that this banquet is no small matter. Ice Palace has really spent a lot of money on this banquet and the preparations are extremely grand.
"Ancestor Yi Ning, Supreme Elder Liu Jun, come on, please come over here!" At this time, Elder Bi You from the Ice Palace came forward with a smile on his face.
Elder Bi You was wearing a gorgeous ice blue robe. He looked extraordinary. He was far different from his previous image. It was obvious that he had been dressed up.
While Bi You greeted them warmly, he led Liu Jun and ancestor Yi Ning to sit down at the long table in the middle.
The position of this long table is obviously the most prestigious, and there are already people sitting on both sides of it. Liu Jun took a closer look and found out that they were all Dan Sect students he had brought out, as well as Elder Chen Shanhe and others.
They either lowered their heads and whispered, or raised glasses to drink together, their faces filled with joy and excitement. Even the demigod Nia is among them.
It's just that Nia didn't wear the hot clothes of the demi-gods, but wore a long dress as white as snow, as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth. In this solemn and lively occasion, she seemed a little restrained, her hands gently folded on her knees, her eyes looking around from time to time, as if she was full of curiosity and freshness about everything here.
As many guests took their seats one after another, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became more and more lively, as if even the air was filled with laughter and laughter. The exquisite candlesticks emitted a soft and warm light, reflecting on everyone's smiling faces, adding a bit of festive joy. Everyone toasted and drank, chatted and laughed, and bursts of hearty laughter came from time to time, enjoying this rare time of togetherness.
There is a dazzling array of delicacies on the table, the aroma is fragrant and mouth-watering. Exquisite dishes, delicious seafood, mellow wine...every dish is carefully prepared, making everyone a feast for the eyes. The guests were full of praise for these delicacies. From time to time, some people exclaimed and praised the chef's extraordinary skills.
And Liu Jun, such a young alchemy master, became the focus of the audience. Young and promising, he is talented, not only has superb alchemy skills, but also has terrifying potential. Therefore, he was naturally very popular, and people kept coming to toast and want to make friends with him.
Liu Jun also accepted everyone who came. He took every glass of wine with a smile and drank it down in one gulp. With the blood of the ancestral dragon, he has an astonishing capacity for drinking. Not to mention not getting drunk after a thousand cups, he can get drunk without getting drunk even after ten thousand cups. Let me ask, who has ever seen anyone who can drink a dragon drunk?
After drinking and eating, Mu Qianchou also pulled Muchuan over. She was smiling all over her face, with a sincere light shining in her eyes, as if she had something important to discuss with Liu Jun.
"Brother, are you leading the team this time to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony at the Vulcan Palace that day?" Mu Qianchou's voice contained a hint of unnoticeable worry, her eyes locked on Liu Jun's face. It seems that he is expecting the other party's answer.
"Yes, the Heavenly Fire God's Palace sent me an invitation. I thought that since I am idle anyway, I might as well go and see the excitement and gain some knowledge." Liu Jun replied with an indifferent smile on his face.
When Mu Qianchou heard this, her brows wrinkled slightly, and then relaxed.
"Our Ice Palace has also received an invitation, but... I plan to let Muchuan go. He is still young and has never experienced such a big scene. I am worried that he will get into some trouble. So, can you please help me? Are you busy? Can you take care of him on the way?" Mu Qianchou sighed.
Hearing this, Liu Jun laughed, patted his chest and assured: "Of course there is no problem. Sister Mu, don't worry! As my brother-in-law, isn't it right for me to take care of my nephew?"
As he said this, the guy gave Muchuan a meaningful look.
However, Muchuan was not happy at all. His face was livid, and the corners of his mouth were slightly twitching. It seemed that he had thousands of words that he wanted to say, but he swallowed them back. He knew that this was his mother's decision, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could not change this fact. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and accept this arrangement.
Seeing Muchuan's aggrieved look, Liu Jun couldn't help but laugh a few more times, then patted Muchuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, nephew, don't be so sad. This time we go to Tianhuo. You may encounter some adventures in the Palace of the Gods! Don’t worry, I’m here and I won’t let you suffer.”
Mu Qianchou also echoed: "Yes, Chuan'er, just listen to your uncle. It's good to go and see something this time. It will also help your future growth."
Muchuan nodded helplessly, secretly praying that this trip would be safe. However, he did not know that this trip to the Heavenly Fire God's Palace would be the most important turning point in his life... (End of Chapter)
