i Guyu gives the impression of not being adept at socializing. During lunch in the afternoon, she scarcely spoke, apart from a few words of praise for the dishes He Kao had made.
He Kao, trying to keep things lively, initiated conversation frequently and ended up struggling to find things to say... Considering he was hosting at his own ho, he also shared much about his own affairs.
At this mont, it seed i Guyu wasn’t uncommunicative, but rather the exchange had been delayed. After a bout of magical combat, they picked up the casual chat again, and she introduced her own family’s situation.
Perhaps because of the earlier joint action, their relationship had unknowingly grown closer.
i Guyu is also from Han Ning City, Zhouyuan Province, with Phoenix Tail Town lying within its jurisdiction. However, Phoenix Tail Town is in Shanping County, while i Guyu’s hotown is in Xiangba County. Her father works in the city, and she was also born in the urban area.
Where are sorcerers most concentrated in this world, and where is there the greatest affinity with magic? First, it is undoubtedly Phoenix Tail Town, followed by Han Ning City.
The most promising talents at the doorstep are the easiest to discover. This is what is ant by "a pavilion close to the water enjoys moonlight first."
Sorcery sects naturally wish to cultivate their own descendants, which is human nature, but talent for magical practice is not hereditary, and a limited clan scope makes it challenging to find promising talents.
i Wenhua and i Guyu are both considered fortunate: on the one hand, i Wenhua has such an outstanding niece, and on the other, i Guyu has a Sixth Uncle to be her guiding connection.
No wonder Li Xiuyuan sent i Wenhua this ti.
Both i Wenhua and He Kao have accepted the recruitnt from the Ancestral Hall, so doing so odd jobs and finishing tasks is only right.
Magical treasures are infinitely variable, and so-called invisible artifacts are a major category among them, divided into many types. He Kao himself possesses one, which is the Hidden Moth Gauze he is wearing right now.
Hidden Moth Gauze actually lies between visible and invisible, and can ordinarily be cultivated into a veil or blindfold form to carry.
As for the Scenic Smoke carried by the Illusion Master, it is completely invisible and colorless, not visible to ordinary people. Only after cultivating it can one grasp its wondrous transformations.
Scenic Smoke is also a heritage magical treasure of the Heart Spirit Sect, primarily used to create illusions. It was lost during the internal conflicts of the magic sect a thousand years ago, and unexpectedly reappears today.
Its owner, who cultivated it, has died, and Scenic Smoke reverted to an invisible, intangible state, drifting god-knows-where amid the fierce battle just now, possibly being blown into the distant mountains and forests by the wind.
In such a vast area, low-tier sorcerers would not even be able to touch it, let alone find it. Even ordinary high-tier sorcerers might not locate it.
Yet, i Guyu’s words were quite strange. With her cultivation, she personally slew that Illusion Master just now, and should have been able to capture the Scenic Smoke with a wave of her hand, yet she let He Kao try to retrieve it.
Listening to her, it seed she didn’t plan to act again. If He Kao couldn’t find Scenic Smoke, then i Wenhua would retrieve this item. Was this an intentional test?
He Kao thought for a mont and gestured into the distance.
It seed as if nothing happened, yet there seed to be sothing drifting against the wind towards him, and when it ca near, he caught it in his hand, where the light and shadow in his palm appeared slightly distorted, as though subjected to so inexplicable refraction.
He Kao massaged the invisible object and casually put it in his pocket.
i Guyu, slightly surprised, said, "Your cultivation is quite good."
He Kao modestly replied, "It’s nothing worth ntioning in front of you."
When He Kao donned the Hidden Moth Gauze to beco Li Xiuyuan in appearance, it actually revealed that he had broken through to Tier Four Cultivation, but it was unclear how high his cultivation truly was. The chessboard slam was indeed Elder Gu’s might.
Retrieving Scenic Smoke might indeed expose his cultivation, but exposure is exposure, it has nothing to do with the Hidden Moth identity.
i Guyu: "Then we’ll leave the cleaning up here to you. All items related to magic should be brought back by my Sixth Uncle. All the spoils this ti are to be first handed over to the Ancestral Hall for disposition. If there is sothing you happen to want, don’t intercept it privately.
Let know and I’ll apply to the Ancestral Hall. As long as it’s not sothing particularly important, I can get it for you..." She must have seen He Kao put Scenic Smoke into his pocket and thus offered a reminder.
When it cos to rewarding contributions, the main contributor today is i Guyu, while He Kao is rely an accessory. But i Guyu has no interest in these spoils; her main concern is Scenic Smoke.
Since i Guyu is both the main force in this battle and an Elder of the Ancestral Hall, she naturally has the most say in the distribution of the spoils. If He Kao wants sothing, she can help obtain it for him.
In fact, neither He Kao nor i Wenhua could privately pocket anything after cleaning the battlefield, because i Guyu already had complete knowledge of what those Xiao Alliance cultivators possessed.
He Kao: "Alright, I’m only interested in this piece of Scenic Smoke. I hereby thank Elder i! After we’re done here, will you be returning to the Ancestral Hall tomorrow?"
As for other items, He Kao wasn’t interested, but Scenic Smoke particularly fascinated him.
He had no intention of keeping it secretly. He rely wanted to study it for a while before handing it over to the Ancestral Hall for disposition. Such a magical treasure is rare, and it could greatly aid in understanding and researching illusion arrays.
Even a high-tier sorcerer without illusion technique experience could use it to set up an illusion array.
By cultivation alone, setting up an illusion array would require at least a Tier Five Heart Stealer from the Heart Plate Sect, and using the natural environnt to lay a large illusion array would require a Tier Six Illusion Master.
However, with Scenic Smoke in hand, even a Tier Four Sorcerer like Lan Jiwan could potentially set up an illusion array, the specific mysterious changes depending on her cultivation and magical power.
