Chapter 880: Wen Tiansheng's Little Schemes

Gui Yingjun smiled, flipped his palm, and an item appeared in it.

It was a small section of bone, which looked like a forearm bone.

This forearm section was over six inches long, the bone quality was crystalline like jade, and it emitted a faint luster, revealing a vague aura.

This aura was not intense, but the moment it was felt, it gave one an extremely terrifying sensation.

It made one unable to help but feel a fear arising from the bottom of their heart.

Seeing this bone, Wen Tiansheng could not help but widen his eyes, "This..."

"Ancestor, you actually have this thing on you?"

"Isn't it too wasteful to give this thing to a Disciple at the Nascent Soul Stage?"

Gui Yingjun glanced at Wen Tiansheng, "Otherwise, should I give it to you?"

Wen Tiansheng's eyes lit up, "How could I be so embarrassed..."

"Are you dreaming?"

Gui Yingjun rolled his eyes and interrupted Wen Tiansheng's words, "If I, your elder, want to reward a Disciple in the sect, do I need you, my grandson, to point fingers?"

The smile on Wen Tiansheng's face stiffened, then, relying on his thick skin, he quickly returned to normal, "Ancestor, I was just joking."

Gui Yingjun shook his head, "I know what kind of fart you're going to let out the moment you stick your butt out, you brat. I'm warning you, this is something I am rewarding to Wan Guiyuan. If you dare to have any crooked ideas, see if I don't peel your skin off."

Wen Tiansheng shuddered upon hearing this, immediately came to his senses, and laughed dryly, "Look at what you're saying, I am a Sect Master after all, how could I have designs on my own Disciple's things?"

Gui Yingjun curled his lips.

This brat had been wicked since he was young and was utterly shameless.

Stealing treasures from his own Disciples—others might not be able to do it, but this guy was unpredictable.

If it weren't for the fact that there was truly no one in that generation who could rival this fellow, the position of Beast Taming Sect Master would never have been handed to him.

While the two were talking, Wang Jianqiang's gaze had been staring straight at that forearm bone.

In this forearm bone, he sensed a familiar aura.

Back when he was in the student selection battle of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, he had once encountered a person named Di.

Di was born with an Immortal Bone. During his first clash with Di, he had severed the opponent's Immortal Bone finger and obtained that piece of Immortal Bone.

And the aura within that Immortal Bone was extremely similar to this forearm bone.

Could this also be an Immortal Bone?

Just as Wang Jianqiang was guessing in his heart, Gui Yingjun looked at Wang Jianqiang and smiled, "Very curious about what this is?"

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded, "I ask the Ancestor for clarification."

Gui Yingjun smiled, "This is an Immortal Bone."

As expected!

Since Di could be born with an Immortal Bone finger, others could naturally be born with an Immortal Bone forearm.

Just as Wang Jianqiang's thoughts were racing, Gui Yingjun's voice came again, "A bone of an Immortal."

Wang Jianqiang was stunned and widened his eyes, "A bone of an Immortal?"

Gui Yingjun nodded and pointed a finger toward the sky, "That's right, a bone of an Immortal."

Wang Jianqiang swallowed his saliva.

Good heavens~

It wasn't a so-called Immortal Bone born from innate talent, but the bone of a real Immortal?

Aren't Immortals in the legendary Immortal World?

How could an Immortal's bone appear in the Fanjie?

After coming to his senses, he directly asked the doubt in his heart, "Ancestor, don't Cultivators immediately ascend to the Immortal World after becoming Immortals? How could an Immortal Bone appear in the Fanjie?"

As he spoke, his face was filled with deep confusion.

Gui Yingjun shook his head, not knowing if he was unclear or just didn't want to say, and didn't pick up the topic, "Accept this Immortal Bone. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can refine this bone into a Magic Treasure."

"It will surely become a great reliance for you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang did not continue to dwell on the origin of the Immortal Bone and nodded with a face full of excitement, "Many thanks, Ancestor."

After speaking, he happily put the Immortal Bone away.

He had obtained a large amount of Earth Vein Essence in the Earth Vein Stele, and now he had such a large piece of Immortal Bone.

If he could supplement it with the method for refining a Natal Dharma Treasure he had obtained back then to refine it into a Magic Treasure.

The power would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his heart.

It was just that, currently, the Artifact Dao was his main means of farming Cultivation Points, so it wasn't suitable to upgrade it yet.

Furthermore.

Whether it was the Earth Vein Essence or the Immortal Bone, they were still too high-end for him right now.

There was no rush to refine them for the time being.

Wen Tiansheng watched longingly as Wang Jianqiang put the Immortal Bone away, his mouth almost watering from greed.

Legend had it that the founding patriarch had once obtained an Immortal Bone, and after ascending, he had left the Immortal Bone behind and did not take it with him.

It was just that this rumor had never been confirmed.

He didn't expect the legend to actually be true; the Immortal Bone really had been left behind, and it was on the Ancestor all along.

Yet, the Ancestor had hidden this treasure for so many years; through how many generations of Sect Masters, the Ancestor had never brought this treasure out.

Now, he had instead given it to a Nascent Soul Stage Disciple...

How unfair~

Of course, he only dared to shout these things in his heart; he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on the surface.

He grew up right under the Ancestor's nose.

He was beaten by the Ancestor from childhood all the way to adulthood.

The Ancestor was truly ruthless when laying a hand on him; he is now a dignified sect master, so if he were to be beaten again, where would his prestige be?

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his gaze flickering for a moment, then as if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "Well, Guiyuan."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's greeting, Wang Jianqiang instinctively looked over at him.

A faint smile hung on Wen Tiansheng's face as he continued, "Previously, you were so close with Wen Ya and Long Er, even making the two of them have the intention of becoming your Dao Companion..."

"It's not that I'm lecturing you, but Wen Ya and Long Er are incredibly important to my Beast Taming Sect; you must not act recklessly."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, Wang Jianqiang was somewhat confused.

Hadn't Wen Tiansheng already spoken about this matter?

He had already agreed not to become a Dao Companion with Wen Ya.

Why was this old codger bringing up old matters again?

Just as Wang Jianqiang was feeling puzzled in his heart, he suddenly noticed Gui Yingjun's expression stiffen, and then he looked over at him with a face full of nervousness.

"You are very close with Long Er? And Long Er has even developed feelings for you?"

When Gui Yingjun spoke, his expression was serious and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he were extremely nervous about this news.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately after, he raised an eyebrow, finally understanding what Wen Tiansheng meant by suddenly bringing up the old matter again.

Long Er often kept the form of address "Gui Shu" on her lips.

From this form of address and Long Er's daily speech, it could be seen that Gui Yingjun must dote on Long Er greatly.

In all likelihood, he also did not approve of Long Er having a Dao Companion so early.

Once Gui Yingjun knew that Long Er had feelings for him, he would very likely be extremely nervous and instinctively develop a defensive mentality toward him.

If it were more serious, he might even take back the previous reward.

By that time...

This old codger would have the opportunity to obtain the Immortal Bone.
