Chapter 464: Chapter 90 Ancestral Master’s Divine Sense

A long merchant caravan arrived from the southwest, its robust camels trekking through the snowfield, stirring up a great deal of snow dust and thunderous rumblings. Compared to these Dust Li beasts, the horses of other caravans, standing two men tall, seemed like newborn foals.

The flag of the Bright Mirror Sect hung high as An Jing stood at the city gate to welcome them, while the leader of the caravan hurried over and paid An Jing a significant sign of respect.

The Bright Mirror Sect’s caravan brought An Jing a large batch of food supplies.

Although Linjiang City was no longer short on food, due to the actions of Linlang Commerce Chamber, the city’s residents had a frenzy to stockpile reserves, driven by the persistent anxiety of someone bitten by a snake and then fearing the well rope for a decade; the food from the Bright Mirror Sect would greatly ease the citizens’ panic.

In addition to that, the Bright Mirror Sect also sent a batch of military equipment and trained guards.

Martial Artists were restricted from entering, but ’ordinary people’ who had received training in Mind, Body, and Technique and reached a certain level complied with the bilateral treaty.

This batch of fine armor and crossbows, swords and weapons, and the obviously trained guards, who were at least of reserve caliber, indeed resolved An Jing’s urgent need for manpower—there were many more hands to use now.

And moreover, these guards were not old.

Clearly, the Bright Mirror Sect had thought of a method to skirt the treaty: I can’t send Martial Artists in, but why not send a group of people who are almost Martial Artists?

This group of people had failed to pass the Bright Mirror Sect’s initial selection but still had some potential. They lacked a Fate Pattern, doomed never to become true Martial Artists, but achieving the level of Inner Breath martial disciples was not difficult.

Most importantly, the resources An Jing needed as a true transmission of the Bright Mirror Sect had arrived.

"The Sect resources for March, thirty first-order Mysterious Breath of Pure Spirit Stones, six second-order Martial Meridian level Mysterious Breath of Pure Spirit Stones, one hundred and twenty Treasure Light Jades (same type as Frost Jade), twelve Mirror Yang Fire Seeds..."

An Jing hadn’t even seriously looked at the other scattered Spiritual Objects—his eyes had already widened, and his heartbeat had quickened, upon seeing the Spirit Stones, "What, the true transmission is so wealthy?"

Mysterious Breath of Pure Spirit Stones refer to a type of Spirit Stone that has a Yang Attribute. Typically, the price of Spirit Stones with a specific Five Elements attribute is a bit lower than that of universally useful Spirit Stones because the demand is much less than the latter, but this rule doesn’t apply to those with Yin and Yang attributes.

Because, regarding the Five Elements and the Four Symbols, up to Heaven Star and the sea, any type of Fate Pattern of a Martial Artist cannot escape the category of Yin and Yang, and even some excessively peculiar Fate Patterns, such as the ’Spiritually Bright Stone Monkey’ that doesn’t fit into the Five Elements and the ’Candle Dragon’ with only Yin and Yang attributes, are difficult to aid with ordinary Spirit Stones, and only Yin and Yang Spirit Stones work best.

A standard Spirit Stone weighs two liang, which in the Tianyuan Realm is 6,000 Good Deeds, but with Yin and Yang attributes, no less than 9,000.

Thirty Mysterious Breath of Pure Spirit Stones amount to 270,000 Good Deeds.

The six second-order Foundation Establishment Spirit Stones could equate to about six large Spirit Qi Furnaces on the level of Fengdu Guards with An Jing’s current Artifact Refining skills. Such items couldn’t be bought on the market and were absolute contraband, only attainable through barter.

Although An Jing already knew about the resources sent by the Bright Mirror Sect, it was the expected material supply for a true transmission of a Great Sect, and not too much.

But for him, able to trade between two worlds, it was far too much—just like with the properties in Chonggang Town, half a year of An Jing flipping between two-world trades couldn’t match what the Bright Mirror Sect had sent in a single breath!

The truly profitable business is never the normal trade.

"Besides that, True Transmission Lord, I also have a confidential letter here from Dawn Brightness Peak..."

Seeing An Jing accept the supplies, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief—at this point, his mission was considered entirely complete.

He took out an ordinary-looking jade mirror from a secret compartment in his chest and handed it to An Jing, then he excused himself and left.

An Jing glanced at the jade mirror, his eyes flickering with a spiritual light, as if deep in thought.

He took it to a secluded and quiet place, placed it on a stand, and bowed in respect, "I wonder which elder ancestor has enshrined their divine spirit within?"

[Kid, you’re a bit slicker than your master...]

From the jade mirror, a speck of light projected out and transformed into an old man with white hair and beard, ruddy face, and purple pupils, who sat cross-legged in midair, looking at An Jing with a half-smile, [You’ve seen through this a while ago, there’s no need to put on an act, If I weren’t your grandmaster, why would I take the risk of being discovered by Da Chen’s National Great Formation and send my spirit here?]

Indeed, this old man was the mentor of Mingguang Dust, the grandmaster of An Jing, and one of the eight Manifesting Holy True Lords of the Bright Mirror Sect, the Peak Master of Dawn Brightness Peak, Chenyinzi.

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster. Please forgive the formality, Grandmaster, as protocols must be properly followed upon our first meeting."

An Jing spoke meticulously. According to what Mingguang Dust had said, the traditions of the sect ceremonies had been passed down from the ancient Dao Immortal Sect, and while other aspects could be more flexible, the ceremonial etiquette for first meetings with one’s elders must not be slighted.

[It must have been hard on you]

Chenyinzi didn’t care much for these formalities, but he cared a lot about An Jing’s attitude. Seeing An Jing so solemn and respectful naturally put him in a good mood, yet he sighed, [Da Chen is now at war with the Iron Li tribes of the Northern Border, and the national borders are locked down, it will take some more time for you to return to the sect, Our Bright Mirror Sect is, after all, only a Middle Gate and doesn’t have much influence on the side of Hanhai, so I cannot cut through this battlefield for you]

"Thank you for your deep affection, Grandmaster, but there’s no need for it at the moment. Now that the supplies have arrived, my cultivation is the same wherever I am. When my strength is sufficient, I will return to the sect on my own."

An Jing could see that Chenyinzi’s image was not just a projection through space, but truly an embodiment of a Manifesting Holy True Lord’s divine sense entrusted to the jade mirror—this likely was a branch of the Bright Mirror Sect’s Great Divine Power [Mirror Self], almost an external incarnation.

According to Subdue Evil in the Divine Sea, Chenyinzi’s this divine sense incarnation was extremely precious, capable of transmitting the Dharma and teaching, and if Da Chen caught it, it could possibly reveal some of the Bright Mirror Sect’s fundamental True Transmissions—yet, to instruct An Jing, Chenyinzi still sent out this incarnation.

[Do not rely on your talent and underestimate the cruelty of this battlefield]

Chenyinzi stroked his beard, [Behind the Iron Li tribes lies the Zuohuan and Hong Fu Sects, and Taiming Sect has even dispatched several emissaries to preside over the situation, while Da Chen has sent out several mighty generals, the arrangement of both their troops and Military Formations are connected to heaven and earth, the battlefield is truly capable of dividing the purity and turbidity of the Northern Border’s land, shattering the Earth Veins...]

[Without the Martial Meridian realm, one caught in the aftermath would turn to ash on the spot]

[What’s more] Chenyinzi shook his head, [One of the Thirteenth Kings of Iron Li, King Ju Guang, has sent his troops southward, targeting the Hanhai stronghold of Zongqiu City, and Broken Blade Mountain is also within his range of invasion, there will a detachment attacking it]

[When that happens, you might not even be able to leave the city, let alone cross the battlefield and return to the sect?]

"Oh? Is that so? I must thank the Grandmaster for this secret information."

An Jing raised his eyebrows, he was not the least bit afraid. Instead, he was quite interested, "The Thirteenth King himself is nothing more than at the Divine Repository realm, and the attacking detachment is only led by one or two Martial Meridian masters—not something to be frightened of."

"What interests me more is, if Da Chen and Iron Li go to war, which side should I consider myself to be?"
