The Eastern Territory has a vast territory and abundant resources. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Eastern Territory was rich in aura and had countless rare treasures. It was the holy land for cultivation in the Fairyland Continent. However, a great war that broke out at the end of ancient times and no one knew about, destroyed this land.
The pure land was destroyed.
Since the First World War in ancient times, the talents of the Eastern Territory have withered, and many blessed cultivation places have been destroyed and turned into a wilderness. The Eastern Territory has also declined from the Fairy Continent, the first holy land of cultivation, to the end of the Five Territories, and the number one position has been lost to Zhongzhou.
Instead.
After hundreds of thousands of years of historical changes, the Eastern Territory has gradually regained some vitality, and some new blessed places for cultivation have been born, which are occupied by hundreds of large and small sects such as the three major dynasties and the Yunjian Sect. However, the overall strength of the Eastern Territory.
But it is still the weakest lineage among the five realms.
At the junction of the three dynasties of Dajin, Dahan, and Dayan, there is a mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles and is sealed by an ancient formation all year round. This is the Blackwater Stream, the homeland occupied by the mermaid tribe five thousand years ago.
At this moment, under the abyss at the core of the Blackwater Stream, there is a majestic and vast palace complex at the bottom of the dark river, exuding bursts of ancient atmosphere, obviously very old.
It's just that most of the majestic palace complex now has collapsed, with broken walls and ruins scattered all over the ground. The damage is extremely serious, and there is no trace of life. It has obviously been uninhabited and has been abandoned for many years.
But in this dilapidated palace complex, in a relatively intact main hall, three people suddenly appeared. These three people, two men and one woman, appeared silently, as if they teleported out of thin air.
"How are the mermaids doing now?" The speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Shui Ningrou didn't dare to show any slightness and replied with a respectful look: "If you go back to the ancestor, it's okay for your grandson to lead you. The current situation of the mermaid clan..."
Shui Ningrou told the middle-aged man in front of her everything about the mermaid tribe's situation in the past three thousand years without any reservations.
"Alas!" The middle-aged man sighed in a depressed mood, and said with a hint of bitterness on his face: "Unfortunately, even if you awaken my divinity, I won't be able to hold on for long. Otherwise, with me sitting in charge, as long as the Sky Demon Clan is there,
A few old monsters don't interfere, so you have nothing to fear from them."
"Ancestor..." Shui Ningrou's heart ached when she heard this. The man in front of her had sacrificed too much for the mermaid clan. Without him, there would be no mermaid clan today.
Even after death, he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to protect the peace of the mermaid tribe, which led to his obsession. In the end, he was corroded by the extraterrestrial demon and turned into an evil creature that was neither human nor ghost. This also triggered the mermaid tribe's black water stream three thousand years ago.
of mutation.
"I have an unshirkable responsibility for the decline of the mermaid clan." The middle-aged man had a trace of regret in his eyes. He shook his head and interrupted Shui Ningrou's words. He said with a gentle expression: "But your appearance made me see it again.
I hope that I believe that you will definitely lead the mermaid tribe through the disaster of genocide in the future, and I am willing to help you!"
"Ancestor..." Shui Ningrou may have a cold and indifferent temperament in front of outsiders, but in front of the middle-aged man, she cannot be indifferent, and all she feels in her heart is sadness and guilt.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Shui Ningrou opened her mouth several times, but she could never express the sadness in her heart. In the end, she only said these few words.
The middle-aged man nodded softly, showed kind eyes, and said: "Don't be burdened, you have done a good job, if you really can't do anything, just give up, even if you are the only one who survives in the end, I
The inheritance of the Kunlong clan will still not be cut off."
Hearing these words, Shui Ningrou's heart trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I die in battle, I will protect the mermaid tribe until the last moment!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded happily, but deep in his eyes, the look of regret and helplessness did not diminish at all. He sighed and said: "That's all, everything is determined by destiny, just go with the flow.
, you don’t need to force yourself too much, if you feel that you are not able to do what you want, you can just let it go, I and the ancestors of the mermaid tribe will not blame you."
There was a trace of tears in Shui Ning's soft starry eyes, and Tan's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a middle-aged man waving his hand and saying: "How do you plan to deal with this person?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Shui Ningrou lowered her head and glanced at Xiaoyu, who had fallen asleep next to her. She pondered for a while and said, "Although this man is a human being, I accepted him as my disciple only because of an incident."
Transaction, but after my observation during this period, this person is quite reliable and I can temporarily entrust him to him."
"Leave it to him?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Yu deeply, and asked with some hesitation: "Are you sure?"
"At least it will be relatively safer than the others." Shui Ningrou answered with certainty, without any hesitation.
"Well, since you believe him, I have no objection." The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, and his expression suddenly became serious and said: "My time is coming soon, but before that, there is one thing I still have to follow.
Let this kid explain."
Having said this, the middle-aged man showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked at the sleeping Xiaoyu with a cold look, and said: "Since you have already woken up, I believe you have heard our conversation, so there is no need to
If you continue to pretend to be asleep, I won't do anything to you."
"Senior has a keen eye, and I am ashamed of myself. I ask you not to be angry. In fact, I have no choice but to do this." Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and saluted with a solemn expression in apology.
"I don't blame you for this. It's because I'm blind and didn't notice that your soul power was so strong at a young age. You were able to resist the impact of the soul sound and didn't fall asleep. I had underestimated you before.
"The middle-aged man sarcastically said coldly.
"Hey, senior, you complimented me." Xiaoyu was thick-skinned and turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged man's sarcasm, only picking up the good ones.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, glared at the playful Xiaoyu, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about business next."
"Senior, if you have any requests, just ask." Xiaoyu replied generously without any hesitation.
In fact, Xiao Yu was still very confused in his heart, what exactly did the middle-aged man want him to do? Although he heard the conversation between the two of them while pretending to sleep, the two people spoke in extremely cryptic terms, and Xiao Yu could not hear what he was talking about.
, if it had been in the past, Xiao Yu would have definitely asked the other party to state the conditions before agreeing, but the current situation is different. Shui Ning Rou is a middle-aged man, each one is more dangerous than the other, so how can Xiao Yu dare to offend him.
"Well, you are decisive." The middle-aged man nodded, praised, and then said: "But don't worry, with my old status, I have not fallen to the point where I need to plot against a junior. As long as you agree to this matter
, the reward will naturally satisfy you."
"Since the senior has made it so clear, the junior will naturally not refuse. I just don't know what the senior needs from the junior?" Xiao Yu asked with some vigilance in his heart.
"It's not urgent. I'd better talk about the reward first. If you're satisfied, we can talk about the business later." The middle-aged man seemed to be used to being strong and did not allow Xiaoyu to answer. In the blink of an eye, three blue lights appeared in front of him.
in front of you.
"Your soul power is really rare. If I guess correctly, you may have become a wine master, and I have followed suit. The first reward I will give you is a wine cauldron."
The young man suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the first group of blue light.
"Jiu cauldron?" Hearing these two words, Xiao Yu felt a little excited. The other party had once refined an eighth-grade Tianbu Dan. For a person with such an achievement, the wine cauldron owned by him would naturally be extraordinary.
But Xiao Yu still had a question in his mind. Through his observation, he clearly realized that the middle-aged man was a cultivator with a water attribute constitution and was not qualified to be a wine master at all. However, he was able to refine an eighth-grade wine elixir.
This is obviously not simple.
While Xiaoyu was meditating, the middle-aged man's finger also clicked on the blue light ball. After a crisp sound, the light ball shattered in response, and an intoxicating aroma of wine suddenly rushed towards him.
Xiaoyu just took a slight sip, and her whole body immediately trembled slightly, her pores opened slightly, and she felt so smooth, as if she had been washed from the inside out by spiritual power, and she felt indescribably comfortable.
After a while, Xiao Yu broke away from this feeling of Su Chang, and stared at the wine tripod floating in front of the middle-aged man.
This tripod is reduced to the size of a palm. It is made of a four-legged square tripod made of a material similar to bronze. Around the tripod, there are also majestic pictures of mountains and rivers carved on it.
This picture of mountains and rivers is majestic. The mountains are towering into the clouds, exuding a primitive atmosphere, like a sleeping wild beast, giving people a dull and oppressive feeling.
"What a tripod!" Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, you still have some eyesight." The middle-aged man glanced at the four-legged square tripod with complicated eyes, and sighed: "This tripod is called Shanhe tripod, and it is an imitation of a king-level wine tripod.
It’s not the authentic item on the Tianding list, but even such a tripod is priceless and can increase the success rate of the Sixth Grade Liquor Pill. This is a gift given to me by my friend when he passed away, along with this tripod.
There are also three eighth-grade Heaven-Building Pills, which few people know about."
"That's it." After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Xiaoyu finally understood the doubts in his heart.
"Are you satisfied with this gift?" the middle-aged man asked with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. Thank you for the reward, senior!" Xiao Yu bowed with some respect, then eagerly stretched out his hand to grab the wine cauldron.
"Young man, don't be anxious." The middle-aged man stretched out a big hand with a smile on his face and blocked Xiaoyu.
"Senior, have you regretted it?" Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and she looked at the middle-aged man with vigilant eyes and asked.
"Xiao Yu must not be rude." Shui Ningrou frowned slightly. Xiao Yu was too shameless and would grab the treasure whenever he saw it, without waiting for anyone to explain clearly.
"It doesn't matter." The middle-aged man shook his head indifferently, blocked Xiaoyu's hand, and said in a calm voice: "After you have seen these three treasures and made your choice, it is not too late to get them."
"This... okay..." Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, but his eyes were fixed on the imitation of the Shanhe Cauldron, showing a greedy look.
