Chapter 169 Silver Dollar Water Purification
"My Lord, do you know the origins of the two heavenly spirits, Narcissus and Snow Crystal, in the Nanzhu Kingdom?"
Zhu Yuyan did not directly answer Zhu Chengwu's question, but asked Zhu Chengwu a question in return.
"A companion spirit of a high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth!" Zhu Chengwu said in a good tone.
Zhu Chengwu didn't understand why Zhu Yuyan asked such a question that could be guessed by the top leaders and top figures of the top forces?
Does Zhu Yuyan think that only their Yinkui Sect, a thousand-year-old sect with a long heritage, has records of high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth that can produce companion elves?
That would be too much of an underestimation of the top figures and forces that came after them!
"Yes, Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit are both companion spirits of high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth, but does My Lord know what the companion spirits of Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit are?" Zhu Yuyan continued to ask.
This question made Zhu Chengwu frown.
Zhu Chengwu couldn't answer this question. He only knew that the companion soul of the Snow Crystal Spirit was the high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth, the Millennium Ice Soul, but he really didn't know what the companion soul of Narcissus was.
And Zhu Yuyan also called it "companion spirit"... Zhu Chengwu thought that was just a casual name given by Xue Jingling to the thousand-year-old ice soul?
Now it seems that the term "companion spirit" has been used for a long time.
Could it be that there are other high-level rare treasures and companion elves in this world?
That’s right, if there were no precedent, there would be no relevant records in the classics of the Ming Dynasty.
"It is the twin silver coins of pure water and jade marrow ice soul! The jade marrow ice soul is the thousand-year ice soul that the Marquis mentioned. The thousand-year ice soul is indeed another name for the jade marrow ice soul. The Marquis is not wrong!"
Just when Zhu Chengwu was unable to answer Zhu Yuyan's question and his thoughts began to wander because of Zhu Yuyan's words, Zhu Yuyan's voice continued to sound.
It can be seen that Zhu Yuyan does not necessarily require Zhu Chengwu to answer.
These questions are just a way for Zhu Yuyan to communicate.
"Twins in one body?"
Zhu Chengwu ignored the second half of Zhu Yuyan's words, obviously because he was afraid of offending Zhu Chengwu, and focused his attention on the first half of Zhu Yuyan's words.
Zhu Chengwu paid special attention to the term "twins in one body"!
This word made Zhu Chengwu vaguely think of something and discover something, but it was very unclear!
"Yes, it is twins! Twins of high-level treasures were born in the same place, and both of them also produced companion spirits. This way of giving birth to high-level treasures is simply a miracle that is rare in the world and only happens once in a thousand years."
Zhu Chengwu's mumbling made Zhu Yuyan recognize his ability to grasp the key points, and continued.
“My Yinkui sect ancestors had exchanges with Narcissus before Narcissus became as powerful as it is now.
Unfortunately, Narcissus was already extremely difficult to deal with at that time!
When my Yinkui sect ancestor went to look for Narcissus with a few good friends later, he had already left the place where he was born and hid himself!
My Yinkui sect’s ancestors searched for Narcissus for decades, but in the end they failed to find it and died in depression!
Later, all the ancestors of my Yinkui sect tried to find the trace of Narcissus, but every time Narcissus appeared, it disappeared, making it impossible to catch him. The ancestors of my Yinkui sect never found anything!
I didn't expect that he actually brought the thousand-year-old Ice Soul to hide in this small Nanzhu Kingdom!"
Zhu Yuyan finally talked about the beginning of the meeting between her Yinkui sect ancestor and Narcissus.
But Zhu Yuyan still didn’t say the key point.
And what does “have had communication” mean?
It was obvious that the ancestors of the Yinkui Sect had a fight with Narcissus, the companion spirit of the Silver Dollar Purifier Water, for the high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth, and lost!
By the time the ancestors of the Yinkui Sect called their friends together to save their reputation, Narcissus had already left!
I have to say that Narcissus’s choice was very wise.
Even if he won, he understood that this world was ultimately dominated by humans. As a high-level rare and precious companion elf like him, he had no advantage in a group fight and had to retreat in time.
Otherwise, Narcissus would have been killed by the Yinkui Sect’s predecessor and his good friend, and the companion Yuanling Silver Coin Pure Water would have fallen into the hands of the Yinkui Sect.
“The rare treasures of heaven and earth have the ability to help people achieve the status of Grandmaster or Yang God, not to mention the high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth, and the high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth that are twins of one body and one body, the Silver Dollar Pure Water and the Jade Marrow Ice Soul. According to the deduction of the ancestors of my Yinkui Sect, if one obtains the Silver Dollar Pure Water and the Jade Marrow Ice Soul at the same time, one can have the opportunity to achieve a higher level than Grandmaster or Yang God.
This speculation was also recognized by two of the only three top masters in the history of my Yinkui Sect!
It’s not that the remaining top master didn’t agree with this speculation, but that top master was the founder of my Yinkui sect. He had passed away before my Yinkui sect ancestors met Narcissus and learned about the twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth, Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul. "
Zhu Yuyan finally got to the point.
The twin high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth, Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
The opportunity to achieve something higher than a Grandmaster or a Yang God...
It has to be said that these are the only resources in this world. The ideas of all the masters who are unwilling to stop at the level of Grandmaster and Yang God are similar!
Zhu Chengwu collected information from all sides, and finally with the help of the power of "Jade Book", he deduced the combination of Earth Core Fire Lotus and Yang Thunder True Flame.
Others do not have the "Jade Book". Even if they are masters or Yang Gods, they are still unable to find high-level treasures in the world, experience them personally, and have a vague understanding of their characteristics. They also cannot quickly deduce a combination of high-level treasures that suits their own path within their limited lifespan.
However, there are miracles in this world. If you cannot deduce them yourself, then you can rely on the miracles created by heaven and earth.
The twin silver dollar pure water and jadeite ice soul are undoubtedly such a miracle, a shortcut.
"It turns out that Zhu Yuyan's target is the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul, a pair of twin high-level treasures from heaven and earth!"
Zhu Yuyan had said all this, and Zhu Chengwu naturally understood Zhu Yuyan's goal and the purpose of seeking cooperation with him.
"However, are these twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth really suitable for Zhu Yuyan? You should know that my final choice of the combination of Earth Core Fire Lotus and Yang Thunder True Flame was also a result of many deductions and considerations?
And why did Zhu Yuyan choose to cooperate with me, who not only has no friendship with her, but also has some grudges against Wanwan? Is there any trickery involved?"
Zhu Chengwu thought so.
Zhu Chengwu is a full man who doesn't know what it's like to be hungry!
Zhu Chengwu has the "Jade Book" in his mind. With the help of the power of "Jade Book" deduction, he can combine his own reality and the appearance of high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth to choose a combination of high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth.
But other masters and Yangshen, including Zhu Yuyan, do not have this condition.
For them, being able to obtain two high-level treasures of heaven and earth in one's lifetime is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years.
Where is the time to realize whether the high-level combination of rare treasures in hand is compatible with one's own path?
How can I be qualified to choose?
What's more, what Zhu Yuyan encountered now was a pair of twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth, which eliminated the huge pitfall that the two high-level treasures of heaven and earth could not be compatible with each other!
In addition, although neither water nor ice is the most compatible attribute with the Yinkui Sect's Heavenly Demonic Art, at least they are not in conflict with each other.
This is another lucky one!
You should know that the good fortune that Zhu Yuyan has encountered now is something that even Yinkui's founder, the demon Cangqiu, Shaolin's founder, the monk Bodhidharma, and Wudang's founder, the Taoist Sanfeng, have never encountered.
Otherwise, those extremely talented people would not have failed to achieve the status of Grandmaster or Yang God in their entire lives, and would have ended up passing away helplessly!
The ancestors of Yinkui Sect would not have spent the rest of their lives searching for Narcissus after meeting her and missing her, and would have regretted it before they died. As for why they wanted to cooperate with Zhu Chengwu, a person with whom they had no friendship but only hatred?
Given the Yinkui sect's position in the Sui Dynasty, Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan has few friends she can trust.
In other words, among the Grandmasters and Yang Gods, except for a very small number of people who value friendship and loyalty, the others are not trustworthy.
Because for the top masters who have climbed from being weak all the way to becoming masters or Yang Gods, they have long been accustomed to acting only based on interests and positions, rather than friendships and promises.
In other words, all the friendships and promises are nothing compared to the twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth, Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul, and the hope of achieving something above the Grandmaster or Yang God.
Since none of them are trustworthy anyway, Zhu Yuyan might as well find the strongest one among them!
After all, the stronger the partner, the easier it is to take down Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit.
After hundreds and thousands of years of growth, Narcissus has made great progress since the Yinkui Sect’s ancestors first met him.
Without sufficient combat power, it is impossible to defeat the combination of Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit and obtain Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
The master and disciple Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan sensed the brief encounter between Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus from afar.
Only a strong man like Zhu Chengwu who can directly restrain Narcissus can truly help Zhu Yuyan seize the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
Of course, there are two extremely important reasons why Zhu Yuyan chose Zhu Chengwu as her partner.
First, Zhu Chengwu had already digested the high-level rare treasure, the Earth's Core Fire Lotus. This was recognized by the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuyan, who was concerned about Zhu Chengwu because of Wanwan, also knew about it.
As high-level treasures of heaven and earth, the fire-attributed Earth Core Fire Lotus, the water-attributed Silver Dollar Pure Water, and the ice-attributed Jade Marrow Ice Soul are mutually exclusive. Unless Zhu Chengwu, who has completely digested the Earth Core Fire Lotus, is willing to abandon his martial arts foundation and start all over again, Zhu Chengwu will not be able to use the twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth, Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
And considering Zhu Chengwu's current achievements and the situation within the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuyan believed that Zhu Chengwu would most likely not choose to abandon his work and start over.
Second, Narcissus is so good at running and hiding!
The former predecessor of the Yinkui Sect, the later founder of Wudang, Taoist Sanfeng, and some other masters in the middle, have all discovered traces of Narcissus and even had various exchanges with Narcissus.
But every time Narcissus was discovered, he would disappear immediately, taking the silver dollar pure water and jadeite ice soul with him, and then escape at the right time, hiding himself so well that no one could find him.
For hundreds and thousands of years, countless masters and yang gods were overjoyed when they met Narcissus, and felt regret for the rest of their lives because of missing out on Narcissus.
According to the records of the Yinkui Sect, even the founder of Wudang and the legendary figure, Taoist Sanfeng, publicly expressed his regret for missing Narcissus in his later years.
Now Narcissus has finally revealed her whereabouts. If Zhu Yuyan doesn't gather enough fighting power to capture Narcissus right now, she is worried that Narcissus will hide again.
Therefore, Zhu Yuyan had no time or opportunity to return to the Sui Dynasty to bring reinforcements.
In fact, it was a coincidence that Zhu Yuyan discovered Narcissus this time.
Wanwan had just become a master not long ago, and Zhu Yuyan was taking Wanwan on a trip to let her meet the various masters who had connections with her and the Yinkui Sect.
It can also be considered a preliminary transfer of power!
When Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan were passing by a place not far from Nanzhu Kingdom, they happened to learn the news that there might be high-level rare treasures in Nanzhu Kingdom.
High-level treasures of heaven and earth are extremely valuable. A single high-level treasure has the ability to assist warriors, and to cultivate the soul to become a top master or a peak yang god.
Zhu Yuyan immediately decided to bring Wanwan to Nanzhu Kingdom to try her luck.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Nanzhu Kingdom, I learned the location of the Millennium Ice Valley.
Just on the way to the Millennium Ice Valley, they sensed violent fluctuations coming from the direction of the Millennium Ice Valley and discovered the battle between Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus.
When Zhu Yuyan heard Zhu Chengwu calling "Narcissus" from afar, she just felt that the name seemed familiar for a moment and did not react.
But Narcissus's combat power, at least at the peak of Yang God, forced Zhu Yuyan to constantly look through her own memories.
In the end, the familiar name "Narcissus" reminded Zhu Yuyan of the experiences of the Yinkui Sect's ancestors that she had read in the Yinkui Sect's classics.
It was at that moment that Zhu Yuyan made the decision that she must do everything she can to capture Narcissus and obtain the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
No warrior can resist the temptation above the Grandmaster, and the more powerful the warrior is, the more so.
Moreover, once Zhu Yuyan achieves a level above Grandmaster, the Cihang Jingzhai, which has been entangled with the Yinkui Sect for more than two thousand years, can be declared to have come to an end.
Faced with double temptations, Zhu Yuyan took Wanwan with her and stopped Zhu Chengwu, who had just escaped from Narcissus and retreated from the Millennium Ice Valley.
Even though Zhu Chengwu and Wanwan have some old grudges, and even though the all-powerful Queen Yin of the Sui Dynasty wanted to speak softly, Zhu Yuyan decided to endure it!
Everything is based on persuading Zhu Chengwu to cooperate with her, to help her capture Narcissus, and to seize the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jadeite Ice Soul.
After all, when Zhu Yuyan achieves the status of a Grandmaster, she will be able to force Zhu Chengwu to pay back double for her soft words now.
Of course, even if she said soft words, whether Zhu Chengwu would agree to cooperate with her would depend on Zhu Chengwu's attitude.
"So, Sect Leader Zhu's target is Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul! Sect Leader Zhu came to me, probably hoping that I would join you in dealing with Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit, right? No, not together! To be precise, Sect Leader Zhu probably wants me to take the lead, after all, only I can face Narcissus head-on! But what can I get if I take such a big risk? Or what conditions can Sect Leader Zhu offer to impress me? Sect Leader Zhu would not want to convince me to cooperate with you with empty words, right?" Under Zhu Yuyan's expectant gaze, Zhu Chengwu thought for a while and said so.
Although Zhu Chengwu was initially worried that there might be something fishy behind Zhu Yuyan's request for cooperation, after thinking about it, Zhu Chengwu felt that the possibility of a fishy thing was not great.
After all, Zhu Chengwu had already deduced through the "Jade Book" how to use the two high-level treasures of heaven and earth to cooperate with each other to reach the level of a master.
This can't be fake!
Moreover, Zhu Yuyan's words and attitude were also very sincere.
Of course, whether or not to cooperate with Zhu Yuyan in the end depends on what chips Zhu Yuyan can finally come up with to impress Zhu Chengwu.
Hearing Zhu Chengwu's reply, Zhu Yuyan felt relieved.
Zhu Yuyan was afraid that Zhu Chengwu would not want to talk about anything and would just refuse directly.
Then there is really no hope of convincing Zhu Chengwu!
Now that Zhu Chengwu has taken the initiative to ask for the conditions, it means that Zhu Chengwu is willing to cooperate, which is good for Zhu Yuyan!
The rest is just a matter of bargaining!
"As long as the Marquis is willing to help me capture Narcissus and get the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul, my Yinkui Sect is willing to do its best to help the Marquis seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty. To show my sincerity, I can betroth my second disciple to the Marquis as his concubine!"
Zhu Yuyan stated her conditions for cooperation.
