I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 289 Gifts
"Brother Qin, the offering order has been cast. When you are free, remember to come and receive the order from me."

"Also, regarding the matter of the 'Masked Immortal King' that you mentioned last time, I have thought about it carefully recently and found it very interesting, so I have discussed it with the elders of the clan several times. When you come to Wanbao Tower in person, we can discuss it in detail."

After Qin Mu heard Qi Haiquan's message, a sense of anticipation surged in his heart.

It doesn’t matter to him whether there is an offering order or not.

However, Qi Haiquan's re-mention of the matter of the "Masked Immortal King" aroused some interest in him.

Qin Mu put away the sound transmission note and decided to go to Wanbao Tower to meet Qi Haiquan after attending the upcoming Baiyun Fairy Meeting.

His eyes casually swept across the shops on the street. The entire North Street became deserted because of the upcoming Baiyun Fairy Meeting, lacking the hustle and bustle of the past.

After taking a casual stroll, Qin Mu decided to go to Juxian Tower in advance.

Juxianlou is a restaurant with a simple style. After he gave his name, he was respectfully led by the waiter to a private room by the window on the third floor.

When he passed the second floor by the stairs, he heard two young monks sitting at a table by the window talking about the innate treasure.

At this time, the monk with a gentle appearance was saying, "Several innate treasures have appeared in the Divine Weapon List this time, and there is one treasure that even the Dayu Jiantian Plate cannot find any information about."

"I think the black spear should be ranked higher. The first time it appeared in the world, it defeated the Thirty-three Heavens Golden Relic Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda, which shows that its power must be higher than this pagoda. But even this pagoda can be ranked fourth in the Divine Weapon List, while the spear can only be ranked seventh."

After he finished speaking, the young man with a cold face snorted and said unhappily: "Have you not seen the power of the Thirty-three Heavens Golden Relic Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda?"

"It evolved into seven acquired treasures of unpredictable power in the tower, which can suppress all demons and ghosts, and subdue all immortals, gods, Buddhas and demons. It can be seen that this is a treasure of suppression. As for the spear, just from its appearance, it can be known that this is a magical weapon similar to the Ruyi Jingu Bang."

"A spear can only kill one person at a time, but a pagoda can take away thousands of demons at once. Naturally, the pagoda's ranking is higher."

After hearing these words, Qin Mu's heart was moved. He wanted to chat with them, but he was worried that someone might have arrived upstairs early, so he followed the waiter to the private room on the third floor to take a look.

Seeing that no one had come into the room, he turned around and gave instructions to the waiter, then went down the stairs to the second floor, found a table near the two young monks, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea.

At this time, the two monks were still chatting, but the topic was no longer about the innate treasure.

The young cultivator, who looked to be about 24 or 25 years old, frowned and said, "Even the Baiyun Temple was destroyed by Zhang Qianren. I don't know why Baiyun City would hold the Baiyun Fairy Meeting. Do you think there is some conspiracy?"

The gentle-looking young cultivator sitting opposite him smiled upon hearing this and said, "Brother Qingfeng, don't worry. Baiyun City is worried that a large sect or a powerful independent cultivator will take advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Yu's death to attack the city, so they used the Baiyun Immortal Meeting to strengthen the strength of the independent cultivators in the city."

"The strength of the captains and centurions of the Demon Suppression Department is not very strong. When Emperor Yu was still alive, no one dared to provoke them wherever they went."

“But in troubled times, people with their level of cultivation don’t have the ability to act arrogantly.”

"If we expect them to defend the city, we might as well hope that no sect will attack Baiyun City."

When the young cultivator with an indifferent face heard the contents of the Demon Suppression Division, he subconsciously sneered. After laughing, he frowned and said, "When do you think the formation of Baiyun City will be released? Is it going to continue forever?"

The monk sitting opposite him smiled gently and said, "According to my guess, the formation should be removed soon."

"Oh?"

The young monk named Qingfeng had an indifferent expression and showed curiosity. He said, "Brother Haoyue, please help me solve this puzzle!"

The young monk named Haoyue, with a gentle face, smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, do you know what day of June it is today?"

Qingfeng frowned and said, "June 19th? Is there any connection between this matter and this date?"

Haoyue smiled and said, "August 1st is the date for the Sea and Land Conference. This is an unprecedented event. Baiyun City is just one of the many towns, cities and counties in Dayu. There are not many cultivators in the city, but if the number of cultivators in the entire Dayu is added together, it is a terrifying number."

"If Dayu doesn't allow these monks to attend this event, do you think they will cause trouble?"

"It may not matter for one city, but if all the independent cultivators in the towns start making trouble, even if Emperor Yu is resurrected, he will not be able to suppress these people."

"Unless Dayu wants to cut himself off from the world and imprison all the independent cultivators."

After hearing this, Qingfeng suddenly understood and said with a happy expression: "In other words, we can leave here soon?"

Haoyue nodded gently and said, "Baiyun City is right by the East China Sea. It will probably be the end of July before they remove the formation and let us leave."

Qingfeng sighed and shook his head, "At the end of July... Tsk tsk, I guess some cultivators have already arrived in the East China Sea. By the end of July, even if we go deep into the East China Sea, the most exciting things will have passed."

"After all, the Sea and Land Conference is held for those big shots. Foundation-building cultivators like you and me can only go to join in the fun when the main conference is not held. If we go too late, what fun will there be to see?"

When Qin Mu heard them say this, he had already finished the pot of tea in front of him. After calling the waiter to settle the bill, he went back upstairs.

He chose a seat close to the window in the private room, sat down, and looked into the distance, thinking.

"The conversation between these two people reminded me that there are only forty days left before the Sea and Land Conference. I have to find a deserted island in the East China Sea and prepare for the birth of Zixiao Palace in advance."

“Also, I will ask City Lord Zhao Feng later whether Baiyun City will dismantle the formation at the end of July as those two people said.”

"If even two random cultivators can guess this time, then those sects can probably guess it as well. If they attack Baiyun City at that time, the safety of Cangbo and his men will be threatened."

As he was lost in thought, the sun gradually reached its zenith and the air became hot.

Thinking of what Mingshui said about the 'strange celestial phenomena', Qin Mu squinted at the sun, but could not see anything, everything seemed normal.

At this moment, a khaki light suddenly rushed in from the window, revealing Zhao Feng, who was wearing a khaki coat, a white long coat, and a pair of black boots. He appeared directly at his seat and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Qin to come so early."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "It's not too late for the city lord."

Zhao Feng stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything. Qin Mu took advantage of the fact that they were the only two in the private room to bring up what the two cultivators downstairs were talking about. Finally, he asked, "I wonder if the formation in the city will be disbanded by the end of July as they said?"

After Zhao Feng heard what he said, his expression immediately became solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "If I hadn't heard this, I would have planned to withdraw the formation at the end of July."

"But now it is not certain. After the banquet, I will report this matter to the Earthly Immortal and discuss it carefully."

After saying this, he shook his head helplessly.

"I have been so busy lately that I overlooked this matter. Instead, the two monks noticed it. I wonder if the mayors of other cities have considered this matter."

When he finished speaking, he smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "Come to think of it, I forgot to congratulate Brother Qin on his double happiness. Not only did he make it onto the Human Character List, but he also became a tribute to the court!"

Qin Mu said helplessly: "Any one of those geniuses in the Imperial College can crush the Human Character Ranking. With their examples in front of me, I really don't have the face to celebrate."

"Hey, Brother Qin, you can't think like that."

Zhao Feng shook his head first, then said, "The talents of the geniuses in the Imperial College are indeed disappointing, but their number is not large. Since the founding of Dayu, there have only been eighty true geniuses in the Imperial College, and the rest are just fillers!"

“Although these geniuses are not on the Human Ranking, the Human Ranking is not as bad as you think. After all, the people on the list are not just independent cultivators, but also include the nine holy places, the thirteen ancient sects, and even the young disciples of countless immortal sects in the immortal cultivation world.”

"Every month, the Tianji Pavilion selects one hundred people from the cultivators under one hundred years old based on the information detected by the Tianjian Plate, according to the three categories of talent, cultivation, and strength."

At this point, he smiled and said, "That is to say, even if you count the eighty geniuses, your overall potential has already reached the top two hundred among the young cultivators under the age of one hundred."

"Counting the countless immortal cultivation worlds, there are hundreds of millions of young cultivators who are no older than a hundred years old."

"You are ranked in the top 200 among so many people. Isn't that a happy event?"

Qin Mu looked at Zhao Feng suspiciously and said, "I've also looked at the Human Ranking. The only cultivator from the Holy Land on the list is an eight-year-old Zhou Yi. I haven't seen any cultivators from ancient sects or from the Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"Except Zhou Yi, the rest are young cultivators from the sects in Shenzhou."

Zhao Feng paused while stroking his beard, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Don't worry about these little things. In the end, Brother Qin is definitely the best among the younger generation of cultivators!"

After saying this, without waiting for Qin Mu to ask again, he hurriedly said: "By the way, the Earthly Immortal Li Tang and King Song asked me to bring you some gifts. King Yan also asked me to pass on a message, saying that he cannot leave his post without permission and cannot congratulate you in person. He is very sorry."

Qin Mu was stunned when he heard this and was shocked.

It would be fine if it was Song Rentu, as he was an acquaintance after all, but why would Li Tang send a gift to him when he had never even met him?

But on second thought, he not only possessed a gold order, but was now also a court official, making him a high-ranking figure in Dayu. It was reasonable for them to send him gifts.

Zhao Feng took out five items from his storage ring and said, "This jade slip and this bracelet are gifts from the Earthly Immortal Li Tang. The jade slip not only records the content of the 'Five Qis Converging to the Origin' technique from the Jindan stage to the Mahayana stage, but also records two top-grade techniques, one is the 'Genjin Sword Technique', and the other is the 'Sword Qi Transformation Technique'."

"After she knew that you were practicing the 'Five Qis Returning to the Origin' Technique', she specially ordered me to find it for you from the treasure house of the Demon Suppression Bureau. The same is true for these two top-grade techniques."

"And this bracelet is a storage bracelet. It has a space of a hundred feet in height, length and width. It also contains a fragment of the fairy stone."

After Qin Mu finished listening to his introduction, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

After Zhao Feng handed the jade slip and bracelet to Qin Mu, he pointed to the other two items and introduced them, "These are the gifts that King Song asked me to send. The invitation is for the Sea and Land Conference. With it, you can become a guest of honor in the East China Sea during the conference. And the bead is called the 'Water-Repellent Bead'. With this treasure, you can move freely even if you are at the bottom of the sea."

After saying this, he stroked his beard and smiled.

"The Sea and Land Conference is held in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. Although it is an unprecedented event in the world of immortal cultivation, only guests invited by the Dragon Palace are eligible to participate in this conference. Cultivators without invitation letters cannot go deep into the seabed even if they have the Water Avoidance Art. They can only watch from the outside."

"King Song considered that such a grand event is an opportunity that cannot be missed for a young cultivator like you, so he specifically asked me to take out these two gifts."

Qin Mu clasped his fists again to express his gratitude.

Zhao Feng picked up the last item and said with a smile, "This is a gift I made to congratulate Brother Qin on becoming a court official. This red bead is a small gadget made from a drop of my blood."

"As long as you crush it, you can summon one of my clones. Although it can only last for half an hour, it can ensure the safety of Brother Qin's life at the critical moment."

"Also, when you crush this bead, I will sense it and rush to your side as quickly as possible."

After Qin Mu heard what he said, his expression changed. He quickly stood up, bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "Senior, I appreciate your love and care, but I hope you will take back this drop of blood."

If some evil monks were to obtain this essence of blood, they could use some spells to kill this Mahayana monk.

Therefore, Qin Mu didn't dare to accept it at all.

Zhao Feng understood Qin Mu's worries and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, don't worry. Even if this blood essence falls into the hands of others, it will definitely not hurt me. I am not as fragile as those cultivators in the files."

Qin Mu wanted to refuse, but Zhao Feng forced the bead into his hand.

At this point, he could only thank her again with gratitude on his face.
