No hope for eternal life

Chapter 330 Go to the Ji Clan Again

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng came to Tianbao Palace. This palace had the same nature as the sect's Lingzang Peak. It was a place that specialized in buying and selling various spiritual resources. The one in charge of this palace was the third elder of the You clan - Youhun Luo.

"I am Mu Changsheng, a disciple of Lingshan Sect. Nice to meet you, elder." Mu Changsheng bowed and said, "I want to buy some Fallen Blood Pearls. How are they sold?"

Ghost Luo had a kind face. He took out a Fallen Blood Pearl and said, "One pearl costs 100 contribution points. The Fallen Blood Pearls sold in the clan are all of this size. How many do you need?"

Mu Changsheng glanced at the Fallen Blood Pearl in Youhun Luo's hand, estimated in his mind how many it would take to cultivate to the Perfection of Thunder Fruit Realm, then offered 5,000 Sect Contribution Points and said, "Junior needs 50."

Ghost Luo accepted the contribution points, gave Mu Changsheng fifty Fallen Blood Pearls, and asked casually: "According to the rules of your Lingshan Sect, you should also explain the source of this contribution point."

Mu Changsheng knew this question would come, and there was nothing to hide, so he immediately clasped his fists and said, "This junior's 5,000 contribution points were obtained from Elder Yi of the Tianling Sect."

"Elder Yi from the Tianling Sect." Ghost Luo raised his eyebrows. He naturally understood that Mu Changsheng was talking about the Demon Clan's Chieftain Yi Qianhuan. He was slightly surprised, but didn't say much.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng bowed and said goodbye, returned to the castle's training room, and began to concentrate on training. The original body trained his body, and the two clones trained their divine powers. However, the black-clothed clone only used high-quality spirit stones for training, while the white-clothed clone used top-quality spirit cores for training. The training speeds of the two were incomparable.

……

Time passes in cultivation. Two months later, another guest came to visit, and Mu Changsheng arranged for his avatar in black to go and receive him.

As soon as they met, the other party introduced himself: "My name is You Moxuan."

"So it's Brother You from the You clan. I wonder why you're here today?" Mu Changsheng said with a fist.

"It's like this." You Moxuan explained: "Sixty days later, our clan will hold a martial arts competition at the martial arts field, which is held once every ten years. Following the order of the clan leader, I specially come to invite all the sects and fellow Ji clan members to participate in the martial arts competition. There will be extremely generous rewards at that time."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, and understood that this martial arts competition and the sect competition within the sect were of the same nature, where they could learn from each other and encourage and urge the cultivators to make progress.

So, Mu Changsheng immediately thanked him and said, "Your Excellency is really thoughtful. I will definitely attend the martial arts competition on time."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng asked some details about the rules of the martial arts competition and found that it was similar to the sect competition.

Finally, You Moxuan clasped his fists and said goodbye, then went on to notify the next family.

Mu Changsheng's black-clad clone stayed where he was, thinking about whether he should send his real self or his clone to participate in the martial arts competition, because he had just learned that only his real self or one of his clones would need to appear in the martial arts competition, not all of them.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Changsheng has decided: "After sixty days, my original body will be at most at the Thunder Fruit Realm, so the white-clothed clone is more suitable."

Although the original body is blessed with the secret technique of Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power, Mu Changsheng still feels that it is better for the white-clothed clone with a stronger physical body to appear.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng sent his black-clad clone out of the castle as he wanted to make some preparations for the martial arts competition.

The black-clothed clone first went to the Tianbao Palace and spent five million high-quality spirit stones to buy various materials for refining talismans and carving formations.

After returning to the castle and handing the materials to the clone in white, the clone in black went out again. This time he was going to visit the Ji clan.

Mu Changsheng had originally planned to purchase some unique talisman inheritances suitable for him from the Ji clan's talisman library, but his plan was interrupted by the attack by Emperor Changsheng. Now, he took advantage of the You clan's martial arts competition to go to the Ji clan again to see if there was any unique talisman inheritance that could enhance his combat effectiveness.

The Sub-Saint Realm was the closest to the Tianyou Realm, so Mu Changsheng took the ferry and reached the Ji clan's ferry in less than a day.

Arriving at the gate of the Ji clan, Mu Changsheng noticed something different at the first moment. First, the two cultivators guarding the gate were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and both were filled with frustration. Secondly, the plaque "Not to be outdone" hanging at the gate of the Ji clan was gone.

Mu Changsheng showed his first-class guest token, clasped his fists and introduced himself: "I am Mu Changsheng, a disciple of Lingshan Sect."

"It turns out to be Brother Mu Changsheng. Please come in." The two guards responded.

Mu Changsheng was not in a hurry to go in, and asked: "Do you have a map of the Ji tribe? I am not very familiar with it."

A guard immediately gave the map and explained: "Except for the forbidden areas marked with red circles, you can go anywhere else you want."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly and glanced at the map. Just like the You Clan, except for a small forbidden area, other places can be entered and exited freely.

Then, Mu Changsheng asked again: "I wonder why the nobles want to remove the plaque that says 'Taking the Responsibility'."

It would have been better if Mu Changsheng hadn't asked. When he asked, the two guards of the Ji clan were indignant and wanted to cry but had no tears. They said in a trembling voice: "It was the big devil Emperor Changsheng. He not only killed the two guards before, but also smashed the plaque."

Mu Changsheng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Great Emperor Changsheng had such a narrow mind that he couldn't even tolerate a plaque.

"I am sorry for saying too much. I hope my two fellow Taoists will accept my condolences." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and apologized.

"Brother Dao, there is no need to apologize. We will always remember the humiliation that the Eternal Emperor brought to our Ji clan. Even if we cannot take revenge on the Eternal Emperor, we will take revenge on the demons of future generations. Our clan leader said that if anyone dares to practice evil again in the future, our clan will kill him!" One of the guards said loudly. This was what Ji Tianyu had said to them before, and this sentence has now been engraved in the ancestral precepts of their Ji clan.

"If anyone dares to practice evil again in the future, our clan will kill him!" another guard also said loudly.

Mu Changsheng's face was solemn. He clasped his fists and whispered in agreement: "He must be executed."

Then, Mu Changsheng went straight to the Ji clan's talisman library. Along the way, Mu Changsheng looked down at the mountains and rivers of the Ji clan. Huge gullies were scattered throughout the mountains and rivers, covering thousands of miles of land, as if telling the brutality of the previous war, which was shocking.

The old talisman library was also destroyed by the attack of the Emperor Changsheng. The Ji clan built a new one next to it and did not demolish the old one, perhaps to remember the shame.

The Ji clan has passed down the art of talismans from generation to generation. The so-called talisman library is the Ji clan’s scripture library, but the art of talismans is more inherited within it.

Mu Changsheng walked into the new talisman library and met the new guardian of the talisman library. There was the light of thunder and lightning surrounding the other party, and it should have been not long since he had passed the thunder and lightning tribulation, so it was not difficult to guess the other party's cultivation level.

Having a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm guard such an important place as the Talisman Storehouse shows that the Ji clan has really reached a desperate situation with no one available.

Unlike the Ji clan monks Mu Changsheng had met along the way, the Ji clan monk guarding the talisman library did not look too sad. Instead, he smiled and greeted Mu Changsheng: "My name is Ji Youmu. I have been in seclusion for many years and have not heard of external affairs. So I don't know you, fellow Taoist. Why haven't I asked for your advice?"

"I am Mu Changsheng, a disciple of Lingshan Sect. I am unworthy to accept the position of a first-class guest of the nobility." Mu Changsheng hurriedly introduced himself.

"So you are a fellow Taoist from Lingshan Sect. You have a bright future ahead of you. After our clan suffered a disaster, the clan leader ordered that the prices of all inheritances and spiritual objects sold to the outside be cut in half. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so don't be polite. Buy as much as you can. Even if you don't need them for the time being, you can stock up on them." Ji Youmu said enthusiastically.
