Chapter 276: Seeing Golden Core Again

"Lin Lin Shijie Ximen has also returned. Good, I will go to the Dharma boat right away." Wang Yu felt joy upon hearing this and said without hesitation, then cupped his fists to bid farewell and left.

Wan Shan watched Wang Yu's departing back, feeling that this Junior Fellow Disciple Wang was truly unfathomable. Now that he was also involved with Tianchan Laozu, it seemed this thick thigh must be hugged tightly in the future.

Wang Yu soared into the sky and flew from a low altitude toward a massive Dharma boat of the Four Symbols Sect that was only a few miles away from the camp.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived above the Dharma boat and landed directly on the deck at the very front of the Dharma boat.

Around the deck stood rows of armored soldiers holding spears, numbering over thirty. Each was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, tall and large, and simultaneously emitted a cold aura that kept strangers away.

Dharma-Protecting Warriors!

Wang Yu recognized the origin of these tall armored soldiers at a glance.

But these Dharma-Protecting Warriors seemed to have only cultivated a certain breathing method to the level of the first or second layer of the Black Tiger Breathing Method, and most of them hadn't even managed to get the evil spirit into their bodies, and at the same time, there was no mana fluctuation on their bodies; they seemed to be purely mortal body refiners.

What was strange was that the yellow armored clothing and silver long spears in their hands, which were uniform in style, seemed to be extraordinary first-rank artifacts; they should be first-rank artifacts specifically refined by the Four Symbols Sect for these Dharma-Protecting Warriors.

What was strange was where these warriors came from?

When they set off from the sect, it seemed no such team had followed.

Wang Yu was somewhat strange when a middle-aged armored soldier walked over, looked him up and down twice, and then asked with a wooden expression:

"Who is your Excellency? This is the Dharma boat of Tianchan Laozu. Without the ancestor's permission, no disciple of the sect is allowed to approach."

"This one is Wang Yu, invited by Lin Lin Shijie Ximen." Wang Yu cupped his fists and said.

This middle-aged warrior's skin surface floated with some vague black-pattern-like phantoms; it was clear he had already refined the evil spirit into his body, and what he had refined seemed to be another kind of evil spirit of the Four Symbols Sect, the "Black Wind Evil Spirit."

This person should be the commander of these armored soldiers.

"So it is Fellow Daoist Wang. The young lady indeed gave instructions long ago that as long as Fellow Daoist Wang came, you could be brought directly to her side." The middle-aged warrior heard this and finally revealed some smiles, saying.

"Then I will trouble your Excellency." Wang Yu heard the other party's address of Ximen Mei as "Young Lady" and felt somewhat surprised in his heart, but still cupped his fists to thank him.

Following that, this middle-aged warrior led the way in front, heading straight for a certain high level of the Dharma boat.

Along the way, apart from some patrolling armored soldiers, he didn't encounter a second cultivator.

Until Wang Yu was brought before a certain room, the middle-aged warrior bowed to the door and said respectfully:

"Young Lady, Fellow Daoist Wang has come to visit."

"Has Junior Fellow Disciple Wang come? Please invite him in." A young woman's joyful voice immediately came from inside the door.

The middle-aged warrior heard this, pushed open the door, retreated a few steps, and bowed slightly.

Wang Yu saw this and walked in without standing on ceremony.

A light breeze blew, and the door closed on its own.

The middle-aged warrior saw this and left without hesitation.

"Lin Lin Shijie Ximen, why are you in this state?"

As soon as Wang Yu walked through the door, he immediately saw the young woman lying half-reclined on the bed. Her complexion was pale as paper, and there was even more black Qi between her brows. Her entire person appeared weak and powerless, looking very haggard.

Before her floated a pale-yellow talisman, radiating a verdant light, shrouding everything nearby beneath it.

"Struck by a third-rank artifact, being able to survive using the talisman treasure bestowed by the ancestor, what more can I ask for?

Thinking about it now, it was still Junior Fellow Disciple who was wise, leaving that ruin early and not continuing to stay there; otherwise, if you had encountered that person, you truly would have been unable to save your small life." Ximen Mei saw Wang Yu, first looked him up and down a few times, and then replied with a complex expression.

"A third-rank artifact?"

Wang Yu almost thought of the Thunder-Striking Ruler in the old monk's hand for the first time.

Ximen Mei misunderstood the reason for Wang Yu's surprise and smiled miserably again, saying:

"Yes, who could have thought that in a secret realm that even Foundation Establishment cultivators were restricted from entering, a third-rank artifact would appear? So this time, being able to save my life by luck is already not bad. It was also thanks to the ancestor immediately borrowing this third-rank talisman from another Golden Core ancestor after I came out; otherwise, my future cultivation would have been greatly affected."

"A third-rank artifact is naturally not something we can imagine. Lin Lin Shijie being able to escape under the power of such an artifact is indeed a misfortune among misfortunes." Wang Yu witnessed this scene and could only comfort her with two sentences.

"Although I saved my life this time, I also paid a lot, and even let the Tianchan of the ancestor... Forget it, regardless of what, the original goal of this trip has finally been completed. Is that box of Blood Origin Mushrooms still in Junior Fellow Disciple's hand?" Ximen Mei only said half of her words before sighing, and the topic suddenly changed.

"The item entrusted by Lin Lin Shijie, I have been keeping it well, so naturally I brought it." Wang Yu heard this, slapped his storage bag at his waist without thinking, and a box appeared in his hand, which he handed over directly.

"Many thanks to Junior Fellow Disciple this time. The matter I promised naturally will not be forgotten. Now follow me on a trip; I will take you to see the ancestor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the ancestor is happy to offer these Blood Origin Mushrooms, perhaps your matter truly has a few points of success?" Ximen Mei took the box, opened it, swept a glance, and finally changed to an excited expression.

"Then I will trouble Lin Lin Shijie."

Wang Yu felt great joy upon hearing this and naturally agreed without hesitation.

Apart from that one time when Li Huo Old Ancestor inexplicably received him in the form of a statue, this time was a true close-range contact with a third-rank cultivator of this world, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

Ximen Mei carefully put away the box in her hand, opened her mouth, and sucked the third-rank talisman floating before her directly into her mouth. Blood color immediately returned to her originally snow-white face, and at the same time, her eyes flickered with essence, and she walked down from the bed, appearing as if she had fully recovered as before.

"Lin Lin Shijie, this is..."

Wang Yu witnessed this scene, was startled, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's nothing, I just used a secret technique taught by the ancestor to temporarily store this third-rank talisman in my body, which can temporarily allow me to act as normal." Ximen Mei merely explained two sentences simply and walked out of the door first.

Wang Yu saw this and naturally followed closely behind, arriving before a certain massive hall on the highest level of the Dharma boat.

Before the hall door, left and right, stood two armored warriors each, standing straight. Seeing Ximen Mei and the two walk over, these four warriors didn't even blink, but similarly didn't have any action to block them.

Before Ximen Mei stepped into the hall door, an old voice came from within first:

"Mei'er, not healing well in the room, what are you running over for?

You must know, this third-rank Spring-Returning Talisman on your body, the ancestor spent quite a bit of tongue-twisting to borrow from that old fellow Guangfa."

Tianchan Laozu's voice was full of majesty, but vaguely contained a hint of doting on Ximen Mei.

"Grandfather, that Junior Fellow Disciple Wang I told you about last time has arrived, and the Blood Origin Mushrooms have also been brought intact. I specifically brought him to see you, old man, once." Ximen Mei paused at the door, smiled, and replied.

"Blood Origin Mushrooms have arrived? Good, very good. You two come in." Tianchan Laozu heard this and gave instructions without hesitation. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
