C175 Find Your Master!
"Fang Senior Brother, do you think the Secret Manual of Tool Sect is really here? Could it be fake?"
Qi Lin's eyes widened as she sized up her surroundings and chatted with Fang Lei.
"I'm not sure, but according to Elder Tang, the last place Grand Elder appeared was here. I think that thing might be here as well." Fang Lei shook his head and said.
"Ai, I never thought that our Tool Sect would be reduced to such a state. We were forced into a desperate situation by a group of bandits and nearly got wiped out. The Sect Master felt even more helpless. It secretly sent us out to search for the remains of Grand Elder. " Tong Yang said helplessly.
Fang Lei nodded and replied, "That's right. It would be great if Grand Elder was still here. With his means, as long as he had enough materials... I believe that even concocting a Prominent Sage Stage Puppet wouldn't be a problem. Dealing with those bandits would be a piece of cake. "
"Unfortunately, Grand Elder hasn't returned ever since he left that place."
The three of them quickly walked to the end of the cave, and searched the surroundings. They didn't find anything. There were indeed traces of people who had once existed here. However, it seemed like no one had been here for a long time. The stone bed was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Seeing this, the three of them could not help but be greatly disappointed. There was even a kind of sadness and despair.
Originally, the Sect Master had sent them here in hopes of finding the hope of Tool Sect's survival. But now, it seemed like the last glimmer of hope had been extinguished.
"Let's go!"
Fang Lei sighed helplessly.
After that, they quickly left the Dry Devil Mountain and arrived at a rather secretive canyon. This was the place where the Tool Sect was established.
"How is it? Did you find it?"
The moment Fang Lei and the other two returned, the Sect Master impatiently called them to a secret chamber. Its expression was anxious, as if it was looking forward to it, but it also carried a bit of panic.
"Sect Master, we didn't find it!" Fang Lei shook his head and sighed.
"It's covered in dust. It looks like it's been a long time since anyone has lived there!" Tong Yang added, "But there are indeed traces of someone existing there. I believe Grand Elder has been there before. Unfortunately, he left after that. "
"How could this be?"
Hearing the last glimmer of hope disappear, Ji Heng's entire body deflated like a deflated balloon. He collapsed onto his seat, his eyes ashen.
Fang Lei and the other two left in low spirits.
"Two Senior Brother, if I go and beg that youth just now, do you think he will help us?" Qi Lin's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke with uncertainty.
"Junior sister Qi, don't tell me you want to find him?"
When they heard this, Fang Lei and Tong Yang's expressions changed at the same time. They looked at each other. It was over. Could it be that their junior Qi had fallen in love with that youth?
"Junior sister Qi, you have to calm down. This is impossible. He is a genius of Sky Mist Sect. He is not from the same world as us!" Fang Lei urged with an anxious expression.
"That's right. Besides, we are not related to him. What right does he have to help us?" Tong Yang also tried to persuade her in a panic.
The two of them had cultivated with Junior Sister Qi for several years and had long fallen in love with this petite and beautiful Junior Sister. How could they possibly let her find that youth?
They had to admit that that youth was indeed very charming. They were jealous and scared, afraid that this junior sister of theirs would never return.
"You're right, he really has no reason to help us!"
Qi Lin seemed to have been convinced by the two of them. She sighed helplessly and said in a low voice.
However, in the next moment, the two of them discovered that Junior Sister Qi's expression suddenly changed. The other party widened her beautiful eyes as if she had seen something inconceivable.
When they saw this, they followed Junior Sister Qi's line of sight with puzzlement. Immediately, there was a bang, and it was as if a bomb had been dropped in their minds, setting off tempestuous waves...
It's him!
Why has he come?
In front of them, a thin figure walked towards them. He had a delicate and handsome appearance, and his pitch-black eyes were as bright as black gemstones. He was flickering with a brilliant radiance, and he didn't seem like an ordinary youth at all.
Wasn't this the youth they were talking about earlier?
Whoosh!
Fang Lei, Tong Yang, and the others' faces instantly turned pale. Just now, they had thought of all sorts of ways to dissuade Junior Sister Qi from finding the other party, and with great difficulty, they had managed to convince her. But now, the other party had found him himself.
They did not know why the other party had appeared here. However, they knew that there was probably no one in the Tool Sect who could stop the other party. They had witnessed the mysterious and terrifying means of the enemy in the Dry Devil Mountain, and that was the feeling the enemy gave them.
"Hello, we meet again!"
Ji Wuyan said with a smile.
"What... what are you doing here?"
Fang Lei glanced at Qi Lin and wanted to ask her loudly, but when he said the last few words, his tone couldn't help but weaken a little. It gave people the feeling that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"I'm here to look for your Sect Master." Ji Wuyan said with a smile.
"So it is..."
Hearing that they weren't looking for junior sister Qi, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Looking for me? Who wants to look for me?"
At this moment, Ji Heng had just walked out of the secret chamber. When he suddenly heard someone looking for him, he couldn't help but turn his head and look. He suddenly discovered a young man, a young man who had the same cultivation base as him, and was also at the Dragon Turning Stage.
"You are..."
Ji Heng looked at the young man with a puzzled expression. He knew that the young man wasn't from the Tool Sect, because there wasn't such a young man who was at the cultivation base in the Tool Sect.
"I am Ji Wuyan, a disciple of the Sky Mist Sect. I am on my way to carry out a tough-training mission. I just happened to hear a few of them discussing something along the way. They said that the Tool Sect had encountered some trouble. So, I secretly followed them to take a look. " Ji Wuyan replied with a smile.
What!?
So the other party had followed them all the way here!
Fang Lei and the rest's expressions changed at the same time.
Ji Wuyan continued, "Actually, I can be considered half a disciple of the Tool Sect. When I heard that the Tool Sect was in trouble, I naturally wouldn't stand idly by."
"You are also a disciple of the Tool Sect?"
Fang Lei and Qi Lin widened their eyes, and a trace of disbelief appeared on their pretty faces.
Ji Heng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. With his experience and identity, he naturally wouldn't easily believe the words of a stranger.
Ji Wuyan smiled and didn't say anything. He waved his sleeve. A black Puppet appeared in front of them. It was emitting an unusual and terrifying Qi. Fang Lei and the others felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on them, causing them to suffocate.
A Peak of Prominent Sage Stage Puppet!
Ji Heng's expression changed drastically, and he lost all color in his face. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
Fortunately, this terrifying aura came and left quickly, as if it was a dream. However, their hearts were unable to calm down for a long time.
"It's too terrifying!"
"I was so scared that I almost couldn't move just now!"
Fang Lei and the others had pale faces and panicked expressions.
Ji Heng was not affected too much, but he believed what Ji Wuyan said just now, so the two of them entered the secret room together.
"Little brother, you just said that you are half a disciple of the Tool Sect. I wonder what you are talking about?" Ji Heng stared at Ji Wuyan with a puzzled expression.
Ji Wuyan smiled and told him about the Secret Manual of Tool Sect and the Puppet that he had accidentally obtained in a cave.
"That's why I can be considered half a disciple of Grand Elder. Naturally, I can be considered half a disciple of the Tool Sect." Ji Wuyan said.
After hearing this, Ji Heng was overjoyed and quickly said, "This is great! I wonder if little brother... is willing to return the Secret Manual of Tool Sect?"
As he spoke, Ji Heng felt very uneasy. Although that thing originally belonged to the Tool Sect, in this continent, it was common for the strong to prey on the weak. It was common for people to seize it by force.
If the other party wasn't willing to return it, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. In fact, they wouldn't even be able to do anything to the other party. A Peak of Prominent Sage Stage Puppet was enough to sweep across the entire Tool Sect.
"Of course I'm willing. This is something that belongs to the Tool Sect!" Ji Wuyan smiled slightly. He took out a secret manual from his storage ring and handed it to the other party.
The secret manual was handed over, but Ji Wuyan still retained a portion of it. That was the refining method of the Melting Puppet.
The refining method of that thing was also obtained by Zong Henghai by accident. It didn't belong to the Tool Sect, so he didn't tell anyone about it to the people of the Tool Sect. Moreover, this was also a kind of challenge to him.
A Puppet that could be upgraded!
Even if any Puppet master saw this, they would not be able to remain indifferent. He would definitely refine it. Unfortunately, the ingredients were too difficult to gather. Hence, even if they spent their entire lives, they would not be able to gather all the ingredients. He would only refine the Melting Puppet until he reached the Nirvana Stage. Later on, because of that disciple of his, greed arose in his heart. In the end, both of them perished together.
"This is great... That's great..."
Ji Heng did not expect the other party to be willing to return it. He was so excited that he could not speak.
He believed that as long as they had this secret manual, their Tool Sect would be able to rise again in no time.
Ji Wuyan looked at the other party and smiled. He didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Sect Master, I wonder what kind of trouble the Tool Sect has encountered. Why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can help you?"
In the early stages, the secret manual had given him a lot of help. This also made him owe Zong Henghai a favor. If it was within his capabilities, he wouldn't mind helping the Tool Sect.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Ji Heng was overjoyed once again. He didn't know how strong Ji Wuyan was, but he knew that Ji Wuyan had a Peak of Prominent Sage Stage Puppet in his hand.
That was enough!
With that Puppet, they could easily solve their current predicament. Immediately, Ji Heng told ___ the truth, full of joy.
It turned out that although the Tool Sect had declined, their ability to refine Puppet was still well known by the world. Recently, there was even a faction that knew their position and directly threatened them. They wanted them to hand over a hundred Nirvana Stage and ten Dragon Turning Stage Puppet. Otherwise... He would attack them and wipe out the Tool Sect.
Ji Heng once tried to resist, but later on, after the leader of that major power revealed his Prominent Sage Stage cultivation base, he gave up. He didn't want the Tool Sect to be destroyed by him.
But at the same time, he wasn't willing to give up. That was why he sent a few elite disciples to the place where Zong Henghai had been. He hoped that he could find the Secret Manual of Tool Sect and find out how to concoct the Prominent Sage Stage Puppet. In order to save the Tool Sect.
Ji Wuyan had found out everything that happened after that.
So that was how it was!
Ji Wuyan finally understood.0
"Oh right, little brother, Grand Elder once entrusted us to help him find some things. He had found a few items over the years, and since Grand Elder was no longer around... This thing might be useful to you. "
Suddenly, Ji Heng seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly called for someone to bring that item in.
Ji Wuyan didn't really care about it, but when he saw those items, he couldn't stay calm anymore. He stood up from his chair and was pleasantly surprised.
"This is..."
