In the cultivation world, most well-made defensive formations are engraved on jade tokens. When used, the jade token is opened, or directly shattered…
However, the formation before them was quite different. It was a transparent jade stone, about the size of an infant’s fist, with no visible traces of engraved formations, yet the spiritual energy within could be clearly felt!
No wonder they say formation masters in the Upper Realm are few. It seems to be different from the Lower Realm!
It makes sense. For formations, those in the Lower Realm can at most withstand the power of the Nascent Soul stage. The strong cultivators in the Upper Realm are mostly above the Nascent Soul stage, and Heavenly Dao cultivators are not few!
Therefore, the materials, power, and engraving marks required for formations should also be different…
Soon after the auction ended, the Patriarch of the Fanyin family indeed invited Gong Jue Míyīn to his mansion as a guest.
“Nephew, why don’t you return with me! My wife will surely be happy to see you.”
He said this, but his eyes kept glancing at Jin Bao’er, lewd and hypocritical!
Gong Jue Míyīn smiled gently, but a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes!
“Uncle, are you perhaps having trouble with your eyesight? Why doesn’t Aunt Cen find you a medicinal cultivator to examine your body! After all, you are almost a thousand years old…”
His words were filled with veiled sarcasm, immediately changing the expression of the Fanyin Patriarch, though he managed to suppress it.
“Not at all, not at all…”
The Elf King’s face was also quite grim. He naturally remembered this old man who had auctioned him. While bound by the Dark Xuan Iron, he had vaguely heard this old man’s sighs…
“Alas, such exquisite beauty. It’s a shame… why is he a male? Tsk tsk! Such a small backside…”
He could barely hear the rest of the words! He had never been so grateful to be born a male in his entire life!
If his power had not yet recovered, he would have pulverized this old pervert into ashes! Oh… Great Spirit Tree! Forgive his murderous intent~
Jin Bao’er stood calmly to the side. Noticing the other party’s gaze, her eyes turned slightly cold, but she still held back the man inside the immortal mansion who was acting exceptionally irrationally…
“Didn’t we agree to go to the Fanyin family? If we cripple this old man now, it will be very troublesome to find people later, won’t it?”
Upon hearing this, the man’s eyes remained chilling, his killing intent causing the entire immortal mansion to tremble… He felt a surge of annoyance, sensing the violent power within his body, and furrowed his brows! If it weren’t for… with his personality, he would never have been so low-key!
However, he still spoke with displeasure!
“What about that elf? Such a flamboyant creature…”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted!
“Hey, hey, hey! Who are you calling flamboyant? Besides, who is as famous as you, the majestic Dragon Ancestor? Anyway, I was legitimately bought by her, so it’s normal for me to follow her! Unlike someone who once dealt with all seven great families, so arrogant back then~ A lot of people still remember it now!”
How rampant the Dragon Ancestor was back then is how famous Long Lixing is now! Not to mention the spectacular scene when he ascended with Jin Bao’er…
The said dragon was instantly choked, unable to retort…
Recalling the recent commotion caused by the Dragon Clan over treasures, they had stirred up almost every family! Now, everyone probably knew about the Dragon Clan’s return!
Soon, the group boarded the luxurious flying ship belonging to the Fanyin family Patriarch. It took less than ten minutes to arrive at the Fanyin family!
Although the entire Fanyin City was located above the sea, like an isolated island world, as the most powerful Fanyin family, it was surrounded by strong iron walls. The mansion itself was filled with flower seas and pavilions, appearing quite elegant.
“Míyīn brother? It’s really you!”
As soon as they disembarked from the flying ship, a boy dressed in opulent brocade robes excitedly rushed over, his fair, tender face filled with excitement and adoration!
Fanyin Ning Tian, ten years old, the youngest son of the Fanyin family’s second son! The Fanyin Patriarch was the eldest son.
Gong Jue Míyīn’s eyes also softened with genuine smiles upon seeing the little boy.
“You’ve gotten quite impressive, kid. Early Core Formation… not bad, not bad!”
The boy proudly raised his head at the remark, looking very happy!
“Of course! I’m going to be as powerful as Míyīn brother!”
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Jin Bao’er beside Gong Jue Míyīn and looked around, a flicker of surprise in his eyes!
“Huh? That crazy woman didn’t come? She’s actually comfortable with Míyīn brother having other women around!”
Gong Jue Míyīn couldn’t help but chuckle at this.
“What nonsense are you spouting, brat! Xingxing is my sister! And your sister too. Besides, what does it have to do with her who is around me?”
Upon mentioning Gong Jue Xingchen, a hint of hesitation flickered in the little boy’s eyes, but he said nothing more…
Jin Bao’er’s gaze darkened. The goose-yellow figure who had bumped into her flashed in her mind, as did the cold, venomous gaze behind her when she left. Looking at Gong Jue Míyīn’s unsuspecting face…
Tsk tsk… Truly worthy of the Gong Jue family!
The Fanyin Patriarch watched this scene, his heart growing increasingly displeased! He was the one who had married a woman from the Gong Jue family, yet Gong Jue Míyīn seemed more interested in his second brother’s son and completely ignored his own son!
That night…
Jin Bao’er met Gong Jue Míyīn’s aunt, a gentle woman with a graceful demeanor and elegance that mirrored Gong Jue Míyīn’s.
However, the legendary eldest daughter of the Fanyin family, who had never married, was still absent.
“You seem rather disappointed? Did you not meet the person you wanted to see?”
At this, Jin Bao’er looked up at Gong Jue Míyīn. Her eyes were as calm as water… The man, dressed in a refined light blue robe, was leisurely sipping tea, his movements with the teacup quite dignified, a perfect picture of an elegant gentleman!
She didn’t deliberately hide her intentions, and someone like Gong Jue Míyīn could naturally see through her.
“Yes… I heard there is a woman of exceptional ability in the Fanyin family! Not yet a thousand years old and already at the second stage of the Heavenly Dao King realm, no less skilled than any man! And she has waited for a hundred years. Who wouldn’t want to meet such an extraordinary woman.”
Gong Jue Míyīn paused at her words, then suddenly looked at Jin Bao’er with eyes like torches! Full of complexity and passion! As if he had found a kindred spirit!
“You think so too? Love… should never be compromised! Cultivators have long lifespans. If the other person isn’t someone you like, struggling will only increase your troubles! It’s better to spend a hundred or even a thousand years waiting, to remain single rather than settle!”
This way, one wouldn’t end up like his aunt, who, despite her pride and excellence, ultimately married a man as incompetent and lustful as the Fanyin Patriarch!
He never expected that Jin Bao’er would also share this view! Indeed… she was no ordinary woman!!
Jin Bao’er offered no response. Who knew about love! She didn’t understand it anyway!
Just then, a small figure sidled over when no one was paying attention… Jin Bao’er looked down at the little boy beside her! Only to see him whisper conspiratorially.
