Chapter 257 Inheritance Inside Sky Fountain Palace
Long Ming was surprised as he recognized the girl. She was none other than Lin'er, the girl who had untreatable disease and had the inheritance of Crimson Blood Demonic Arts.
' What is she doing here? And where is his brother?' Long Ming thought inwardly.
Without delay, he descended beside her. Lin'er became startled. But it didn't take her time to realize it was Long Ming.
" Young Master Benefactor! It's you!" Lin'er couldn't help but shout in surprise.
" My name is Long Ming, Miss Lin, not Young Master Benefactor." Long Ming smiled mildly.
Using her Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could see the faint swirling blood aura around her.
" How are you now, Miss Lin? I hope your symptoms didn't erupt once again?"
" It didn't, Young Master Long." Lin'er replied happily. Not to mention, I already reached the High stage of Violet Palace Expansion Realm by now."
" Wow, That's a remarkable progress. But…I am not seeing your brother?"
" Brother…He…He went to work. Recently, he got a job at Crimson Fire Smithy. His monthly salary is ten thousand mid grade spirit stones."
" That…I don't think it's enough to support you in cultivation, no?" Long Ming frowned lightly.
" It's alright, Young Master Long. I don't have much aspirations. As long as I can help my brother, I shall be glad." Lin'er sighed. " Due to me, Elder Brother almost came to the street. I don't want to burden him anymore."
" You won't. Didn't you heard about Four Seasons Valley's assessment test? They were recruiting disciples, so why didn't you go there?" Long Ming asked.
" I… I didn't heard about that?"
" ... "
Fair enough, thought Long Ming.
" Anyway, You have the potential and cultivate the Crimson Blood Demonic Art to the perfection. If you join the sect, your future would be limitless."
" But Young Master Long, I don't have that much money." Lin'er flushed. " I mean… I really don't want to burden my brother for more cultivation resources."
" It doesn't matter. Our sect runs on purely merit. As long as you perform well, you will be able to secure cultivation resources." Long Ming smiled.
Pulling out a paper, Long Ming used his Treasured Jade Brush and wrote something in Fragrant Yin Qi.
" After talking to your brother, bring this to my Senior Sister Mu who is staying in our Four Seasons Valley's abode in Holy Qilin City. She will understand."
" This…This is too much for me, Young Master Long." Lin'er blushed as she tried to look away.
" It's alright. I don't want a gem to get buried in the sand." Long Ming laughed as he turned around.
" I shall be waiting for you to join our sect, Lin'er."
Lin'er heart thumped fast as she saw Long Ming leaving. Clutching the paper hard, she turned around and walked to her home, with new hope in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Long Ming fell into deep thought as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes flickered.
' Lin'er…that girls luck completely changed after I saved her. Did I accidentally trigger a butterfly effect?'
' But no matter what, her joining the sect would be good as she is certainly more talented than her brother.'
It was already evening when he finished strolling. Picking a room in Yuxing Tower, Long Ming went for a cultivation session.
The azure flame slowly flickered around his body as he closed his eyes, visualizing his divine sea.
' Ugh, To think creating a natal weapon would be this tiresome.' he clicked his tongue as he looked at the billet slowly getting refined by him inside his divine sea.
It was none other than the natal weapon which he had been refining for the past few days. Although the creation process is over, shaping it according to his will still remains.
He didn't want to rush this process, so Long Ming refined it slowly, imbuing his energy with each cycle of refinement.
However, till now, Long Ming hasn't decided what kind of natal treasure he wants to create.
Sure, Sword is the emperor and Saber is a tyrant, Spear is like a dragon and armor protects all.
However, Long Ming felt he needed something more…something more powerful and versatile.
Suddenly, he saw the abyss in his divine sea stirring, catching a glimpse of the slumbering nether dragon, darker than the darkness itself.
An idea sprang in his mind as he slowly stirred the energy of his nether dragon, transferring its power to the embryonic natal weapon.
Suddenly, the natal weapon quivered as it suddenly covered by a pitch black layer of shadow. It slowly started to spin as if formed more and more pitch black thread around it, like a layer.
Long Ming felt like he heard a deep roar, resonating with his entire divine sea and soul. As time passed, the embryonic weapon was inside a black cocoon, slowly pulsing.
' Hooo, I don't know what just happened but I can feel the treasure already started to form. All I need to do is wait and give energy regularly and it will be ready.'
Taking a deep breath, Long Ming opened his eyes as he thought about everything. But then, he remembered something he obtained from Lin'er's brother when he cured her.
Looking into his spatial bracelet for a while, he finally noticed the jade piece. Taking it out, Long Ming used his Divine Sense to look into it.
Suddenly, an ominous feeling rose in his heart as he saw his divine sense was surrounded by blood colored miasma. Hurriedly, Long Ming retracted his divine sense, looking at the jade piece with realization.
' Ah, This jade piece is actually locked. It's locked with special inscriptions, which only a practitioner of Crimson Blood Demonic Art can open.'
' Not to mention, if anyone tries to crack these rune inscriptions wrongly, their spiritual qi would get contaminated by the malevolent blood aura, giving serious soul injuries and leading to death.'
But then, taking out his Treasured Jade Brush, Long Ming grinned.
' I can easily solve this though?'
His Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened as he used his supreme comprehension to look at the inscriptions. They were like intricate patterns, interwoven with each other.
One single mistake, and it will make a chain reaction. However, his Heavenly Revelation Eyes spotted the correct spot, which he used his brush to decrypt.
Not to mention, using the Temporal Fate Simulation, Long Ming could see which rune might create accidents, avoiding them entirely.
Even with all these, it took an entire hour before he managed to crack the seal on the jade. After that, he used his Divine sense once again.
This time, there were no accidents. It was a sublime feeling as Long Ming's divine sense slowly entered the jade. A series of information appeared in his soul as he could see certain scenes.
Demonic beasts galloping, hoarse noise, and sounds of battle soared across the sky.
The clouds turned crimson and dust rose from the ground, two factions fighting a life and death war.
" The war between Eastern Province's Righteous Alliance and Southern Province's Tribe and Demon Sect was truly fearsome. Even cultivators of the Dao Refinement Realm perished in the battlefield."
An aged voice spoke as an old man wearing a dark robe appeared before Long Ming's field of vision.
" It was the peak of the Harvestless Era, with no one seemed to be able to feel the Heavenly Dao. The resources are scarce in Southern and Western Province while Eastern and Central Province living lavishly."
" Thus, the war for resources and supremacy began. Sects and powerhouses rose and fell, but it was eventually our defeat."
" But it wasn't entirely fruitless…Not entirely after all."
" Unfortunately, my clan suffered a betrayal. All of us got wiped out and the ancestor died while saving us."
" But even if I survived, it doesn't matter. I need revenge…Yet I need to preserve our legacy."
" The Sky Fountain Palace…It was truly a magical place. It's perfect for hiding our clan's treasure."
Suddenly, that figure looked at Long Ming as he spoke. " I can see you already gotten this jade. That means you have also gotten the Crimson Blood Demonic Art."
" However, the version you are practicing is flawed and you can't go past the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."
" Find my treasury in the Sky Fountain Palace and you will find the complete technique there, along with other treasures."
" Revenge…Is another thing. As long as our clan's legacy live on, it will be worth it.
" Unless you have power, you must not reveal your technique or wealth."
" The southern mountain of forest infested by ancient wryms, pass the trial and you shall see the path to the treasury."
" However, Sky Fountain Palace has its own perils."
"Also, Beware of the inheritance of Hong Luo. There is something wrong with his grave."
As the message ended, Long Ming took a deep breath as he couldn't help but get happy.
" Well, Look at my luck. I casually found a treasure map. The only thing is… Where is this Sky Fountain Palace?"

" Hehe, I knew it! Big brother would agree!" Lin'er jumped as she hugged her elder brother.
" Don't worry, Elder Brother. Lin'er would grow up and become a powerful cultivator."
" And then, we shall go and kill those who destroyed our clan."
