Chapter 80: News of the Spiritual Eye Divine Ability

After receiving Xu Zhengyang’s consent.

Da Fei cheered loudly, immediately shrank down to the size of a kitten, and nimbly climbed along Xu Zhengyang’s robe to perch on his shoulder.

“Sit tight.”

Xu Zhengyang spoke, then immediately activated his Martial Qi, ejecting the Azure Sky Crane Feather from his back, flying toward the Divine Mechanism Palace.

He first prepared to request leave from Xing Yong.

……

In just a short while.

After Xu Zhengyang explained his purpose to Xing Yong, Xing Yong did not stop him.

Instead, he retrieved twenty jade-token-like Tier 2 Talismans from his Storage Pouch.

Then Xing Yong said to Xu Zhengyang, “These ten are Tier 2 Random Teleportation Talismans.

Once crushed, they can teleport you to any position within five hundred li in the surroundings, entirely depending on luck.

These ten are Positioning Teleportation Talismans.

Their fixed point is set at the Divine Mechanism Palace.

Once crushed, they can teleport you five hundred li in the direction of the Palace.

Keep them well, and use them in times of crisis.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for bestowing me such treasures!” Xu Zhengyang said joyfully as he accepted the Talismans.

The twenty Tier 2 Talismans Xing Yong gave him were practically life-saving artifacts!

With these Talismans in hand.

Even if Xu Zhengyang accidentally provoked a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, he could still retreat with ease using them!

“It’s nothing.”

Xing Yong waved his hand with a smile and said, “Staying in seclusion all the time is indeed rather dull.

Go to the General Affairs Hall.

I’ll send word to Elder Liu there.

He’ll assign you a subjugation task close to the sect gates.”

“Yes, Senior Brother!”

Xu Zhengyang responded, then immediately activated his Martial Qi, ejecting the Azure Sky Crane Feather from his back, flying toward the General Affairs Hall at the foot of Celestial Mechanism Peak.

……

A short while later, outside the General Affairs Hall.

Xu Zhengyang had just landed.

He saw that slightly hunched Elder Liu Danian of the General Affairs Hall, who always carried a smoking pipe in hand, was already waiting outside.

“Greetings, Elder Liu.” Xu Zhengyang saluted respectfully.

“No need to be so formal, just call me Martial Uncle.” Liu Danian replied, puffing on his dry tobacco twice, releasing a long stream of white mist.

Then.

With a satisfied look, Liu Danian tapped his pipe against the stone lion at the doorway twice, then gestured, “Come in with me.”

……

Inside the General Affairs Hall.

As Liu Danian led Xu Zhengyang inward, he said, “Your Senior Brother just informed me.

It happens that.

Yesterday afternoon.

The Wang Family of Black River, twelve hundred li west of the Floating Mist Mountains, who have for generations paid tribute to our True Essence Sect, urgently sent word to the Reception Hall.

They said that their paddy fields had recently been repeatedly ravaged by a Tier 1 Peak Golden-Eyed Python.

The Pearl Rice cultivated in the Wang Family’s fields is one of the main ingredients for refining Fasting Pills.

Thirty percent of our sect’s Fasting Pills come from the Wang Family’s offerings.

Therefore, helping them resolve this matter is only proper.”

At this point.

Liu Danian turned back to glance at Xu Zhengyang and asked, “Nephew Xu, are you confident in dealing with this beast?”

Xu Zhengyang did not answer directly.

Instead, he cautiously asked, “Martial Uncle Liu, may I ask, is that Golden-Eyed Python a land-dweller or aquatic?”

Seeing Xu Zhengyang act with such caution and without the rashness of youth, Liu Danian’s eyes showed more appreciation.

Only then did he explain, “The Golden-Eyed Python is a land-dwelling snake demon.

If it were an aquatic beast, with the advantage of terrain, even if I personally went, I would have to expend much effort to subdue it.

How could we casually send disciples into such danger?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang looked ashamed and said, “If it is a land-dwelling beast, then I am willing to try!”

“Good.”

Liu Danian nodded, then brought Xu Zhengyang to the main hall of the General Affairs Hall, completing the procedures for the Golden-Eyed Python subjugation task.

He then continued, “According to the Wang Family’s message.

That Golden-Eyed Python is very cunning and never fights their disciples head-on.

Each time it digs a new tunnel underground and sneaks into the rice paddies to ravage the Pearl Rice.

The Wang Family’s fields are vast, and their formations cannot cover the entire area.

They cannot defend everything.

With the Pearl Rice harvest approaching.

The Wang Family had no choice but to seek our aid.”

At this point.

Liu Danian reminded Xu Zhengyang, “That Golden-Eyed Python is not hard to handle, but its tracks are difficult to find.

Because of this.

Before setting out, be sure to ask your Senior Brother for some treasure that can help in tracking.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Martial Uncle Liu.” Xu Zhengyang said.

“Time waits for no one, you should set off at once.”

Liu Danian took down the 【Subjugation of the Golden-Eyed Python】 mission notice, then reminded Xu Zhengyang once more, “Nephew Xu, remember this.

When fighting the Golden-Eyed Python, do not harm its eyes!

If you can bring it back intact…

Then seek more opportunities to associate with Elder Liu Baoshan of your Divine Mechanism Palace.”

Hearing Liu Danian’s words, Xu Zhengyang’s heart stirred.

He immediately recalled that Liu Baoshan had entered the Divine Mechanism Palace by relying on the Spiritual Eye Secret Technique, which allowed him to appraise spiritual materials and artifacts.

【Could it be that the Golden-Eyed Python’s eyes are related to Elder Liu’s Spiritual Eye ability?】

Thinking this, Xu Zhengyang gratefully cupped his hands to Liu Danian, “Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle Liu!”

“A small matter, a small matter.”

Liu Danian squinted his eyes and smiled, “Best not delay.

Go now, I won’t see you off.”

……

Soon after.

Xu Zhengyang had just exited the General Affairs Hall, preparing to seek Xing Yong for a tracking treasure.

At that moment.

Da Fei, perched on his shoulder all this time, suddenly informed Xu Zhengyang via telepathy that it could help track the beast by scent!

“Oh?”

Xu Zhengyang looked at Da Fei in surprise, “This mission concerns the sect’s reputation, do not act rashly.”

Hearing this, Da Fei was immediately displeased.

He twitched his little nose, pointed southeast, and through telepathy told Xu Zhengyang:

Yang Hong was seven li away in that direction!

“Junior Brother Yang at Celestial Mechanism Peak? You can smell that far?” Xu Zhengyang asked skeptically.

But seven li was not far.

So Xu Zhengyang immediately activated his Martial Qi, ejecting the Azure Sky Crane Feather, and flew in the direction Da Fei indicated.

……

In a short while.

Xu Zhengyang saw Yang Hong from afar, at that very moment personally instructing two Outer Sect female disciples in martial techniques.

Xu Zhengyang was pleasantly surprised.

He patted Da Fei’s head and praised, “Well done, Da Fei! I didn’t think you had this ability!”

Hearing this, Da Fei crossed his arms, turned his head away, acting like a sulking child.

Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang laughed heartily, “My fault, my fault, I shouldn’t have doubted you!”

As he spoke.

Xu Zhengyang pulled out a Tier 1 Supreme Blood Pill and shoved it into Da Fei’s mouth, “This Blood Pill is my apology!”

Then.

Xu Zhengyang fully activated his Martial Qi, turning into a streak of azure shadow, swiftly flying westward toward the Floating Mist Mountains!

……

The Azure Sky Crane Feather was indeed not slow when activated.

But Xu Zhengyang was only at the Innate Realm.

His Martial Qi was limited, so he had to stop occasionally to rest, recover, and then continue flying with the Azure Sky Crane Feather.

Even so.

With the combination of the Azure Sky Crane Feather and the Paper Crane Talisman, Xu Zhengyang still arrived at the Wang Family of Black River before sunset.
