Chapter 769: Chapter 24 Huangquan Envoy, Guardian Giant Spirit_2

They were already high-level players, and Xiao Jie’s strength had reached the pinnacle of the current game.

Naturally, his mindset had also completely changed.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xiao Jie temporarily set aside his doubts and led the two of them straight up the mountain.

After walking along the mountain path for a few minutes, they saw a giant white tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead, lying on a piece of open ground halfway up the mountain, dozing off.

White Tiger: Level 30. Life Value 5000.

Xiao Jie had encountered this creature once before and had only managed to bypass it thanks to Bai Ze’s Invisibility Technique. However, things were different now; this time, Xiao Jie was not scared at all.

On the contrary, he was quite intrigued. What kind of template was this creature using? Just Level 30... but with such a thick blood volume.

If it’s supposed to be a BOSS, it shouldn’t be unmarked.

Although its blood volume was thick, and its size looked impressive, Xiao Jie was not intimidated at all.

He even thought that if it weren’t for this creature’s connection to Xuanxu Palace, he could probably figure out a way to take it down. After all, what is a White Tiger when he could transform into a Jiao Long and put up a fight?

But for now, it was better to make friends.

Xiao Jie stepped forward, activated his Beast Language Skill, and said warmly, "Brother Tiger, we need to go up the mountain for something. Please grant us access and do not obstruct us."

The White Tiger glanced at the three of them, seemingly surprised that Xiao Jie could communicate with it, but showed no hostility. "Aowoo, the True Man is waiting for you up the mountain, hurry up and go, and don’t disturb my sleep."

Saying this, it closed its eyes again and pretended to sleep.

As expected, this creature was indeed the gatekeeper of Xuanxu Palace. The three of them bypassed the White Tiger and continued climbing the mountain, quickly arriving at the main gate of Xuanxu Palace.

Xiao Jie still remembered that the first time he came here, the entrance was crowded with players kneeling and seeking to apprentice. But now, they had probably realized that it didn’t work, and the kneeling players were gone.

Not entirely gone, though. There was still one person kneeling not far away.

East Wind Night Road (Swordsman) Level 29. Life Value 600.

Xiao Jie vaguely recognized him. The last time he came, this person was among the crowd, and they had exchanged a few words.

But he wasn’t too sure; after all, so much time had passed. Surely this person hadn’t been kneeling for months?

That person was also a bit surprised to see Xiao Jie.

"Oh, isn’t this Brother Feng? Visiting Xuanxu Palace again, I see."

It was indeed an acquaintance.

Xiao Jie was also a bit surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"Kneeling at the gate. We talked about it last time you came, don’t you remember?"

Xiao Jie was speechless, "Of course I remember, but it’s been months. Why are you still kneeling here?" Xiao Jie thought to himself, how long has it been, and he still hasn’t given up?

The person replied, "Useless talk! To show sincerity, you must kneel until the gate opens. Kneeling for a few days and then leaving can hardly be considered sincere."

"What about the others?"

"Naturally, they knelt for a while and left. They were just here for the fun, kneeling for a few days and then giving up. But I’m not that foolish. Apprenticeship and learning martial arts cannot be that easy. If the gate doesn’t open, I’ll keep kneeling until the game shuts down. Anyway, my character has no significant development left. I’ve learned all the Martial Arts Inner Power, and learning more wouldn’t make much difference. The only thing left is spells, so I’ll just kneel slowly. I’m planning to kneel for three years first.

Since there are no monsters or dangers here, and no one dares to cause trouble at Xuanxu Palace, I can kneel as long as I like. Sooner or later, they’ll have to accept me."

Xiao Jie thought, what great perseverance. "Alright then, keep kneeling. We’re going in."

"Hey Brother Feng, if possible, put in a good word for me. I know you have a great reputation."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, it’s not that easy. Even if he really had that much face, the True Men wouldn’t sell favors cheaply. What kind of good fortune is he dreaming about?

But the person seemed to have thought of that too, "I won’t ask for your help for nothing. If you can speak for me and get Xuanxu Palace to accept me, I’ll give you a billion when I make it big."

Xiao Jie thought, you’re drawing a pie that even a dog wouldn’t eat.

"Ah, okay, I’ll see what I can do." Xiao Jie casually brushed him off and led the two to knock on the gate.

Soon, the door opened, and two Daoist children came out.

"Who are you?"

"Junior Hidden Moon Following Wind, here to retrieve something from Master Qingfeng."

"Ah, you must be the returnees the True Man mentioned. Please come in."

After the battle at Soul Suppressing Pass ended, the magical item rewarded by the quest was damaged. Xiao Jie had asked Master Qingfeng to help repair it. It was time to retrieve it, and he also wanted to inquire about the advanced conditions for the Giant Spirit for I Want to Be Immortal.

While leading the way, the Daoist child explained, "Master Qingfeng is not in the palace. Please excuse us. However, Master Mingyue is here. Please follow me."

"Where did Master Qingfeng go?"

"He went to discuss military affairs with Lord Governor. I heard there’s an invasion from the north."

(Ah, that explains it. Long Xingtianxia is probably at the meeting in Xiaofeng City too.)

Soon, the three arrived at the main hall, where Master Mingyue was waiting.

Without wasting any time, he said, "I already know your purpose. The treasure my brother fixed has been repaired. Here, take it."

Saying that, he casually tossed a mirror to Xiao Jie.

System prompt: Obtained item [Yin Yang Soul Suppressing Mirror].

[Yin Yang Soul Suppressing Mirror (Magic Treasure)]

Magic Treasure Effect 1: Yin Capturing Divine Light. Absorbs a yin soul of an undead unit into the mirror, dealing 20 points of spell damage per second for 180 seconds. If the target dies inside the mirror, you instantly recover mana equal to its Life Value (Cool down: 30 minutes).

Magic Treasure Effect 2: Shocking Yang Divine Light. Use on a living unit to shock its soul, putting it into a stunned state where it can’t perform any actions. Attacks may interrupt this effect (only works on units facing you, ineffective on units with their backs turned), lasts 180 seconds (Cool down: 30 minutes).

Item Introduction: A magical treasure left by Ancient Immortals, with Yin and Yang sides, each having different effects when used. It seems specifically designed to counter yin soul fierce ghosts and has limited effect on the living.]

What a great item, a powerful control spell, especially effective against undead units.

Though it’s weaker against the living, it’s still useful.

Based on the description of Yin Capturing Divine Light, it seems any undead can be trapped instantly.

seconds and 20 points of damage per second equals 3600 total damage, enough to instantly kill any non-BOSS unit.

It’s also effective on living units, though not as prominently.

Xiao Jie satisfiedly equipped the Yin Yang Soul Suppressing Mirror.

Unlike the Demon Refining Gourd, this item could directly enhance combat power.

"If there’s nothing else, you should leave now."

"Ah, Master Mingyue, I do have a request."

"Hmph, speak, but I may not help." Master Mingyue’s expression remained cold.

But Xiao Jie could tell that although Master Mingyue appeared aloof, he was quite reasonable. In contrast, Master Qingfeng, despite his courteous and kind demeanor, was too slick and not as accommodating when it came to matters of interest.

"Master Mingyue, my brother here wishes to suppress demons, but his strength has plateaued. He wants to morph into a Giant Spirit but doesn’t know the specific technique. Could you instruct us?"

Master Mingyue pondered for a moment, "A Giant Spirit? Hmm, I see. Alright, I’ll explain it to you.

The Giant Spirits were created by the Immortals of old to combat demonic chaos.

From among mortal warriors, they selected 108 top fighters, imparting divine skills and training their bodies and souls to transform into Guardian Divine Spirits, adept at demon suppression.

After ten years of battle, thirty-six perished, sixty-two retired, and only ten ultimately became gods.

Xiao Jie thought, so this includes retirement?

Master Mingyue continued,

"To become a Giant Spirit isn’t too difficult. Just complete three things."

First, you need to manifest Divine Light, gaining the Power of Incense.

Second, refine your physical body, transforming flesh and blood into a Pure Yang Body, becoming a current-world god.

Third, maintain a Pure Yang Body, free from seven emotions and six desires.

I see your brother meets the criteria. If he is determined, I can help him.

That simple? Xiao Jie was surprised and looked at I Want to Be Immortal. "Well, what do you think?"

"Ah, Master Mingyue, why must one maintain a Pure Yang Body? What happens if they don’t?"

"You’ll lose your Divine Power instantly and revert to a mortal."

"Ah... let me think about it." I Want to Be Immortal said.

Xiao Jie immediately understood. The happiness of the lower body versus power—it was indeed a tough choice.
