Chapter 912: Careful, It's Hot!

"Oh?"

The old woman's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, her face showing shock as she looked at Xu Que in astonishment.

She found it hard to believe that this young man at the Void Integration Stage could see through her disguise.

"Yo, is there a need to be so surprised? To tell you the truth, I learned that little bit of disguise transformation when I was three, and by three and a half, I knew how to break it. It's just a petty trick, not worth mentioning."

Xu Que looked arrogant, bragging with all his might.

But in reality, he was still very amazed by the old woman's methods. This kind of disguise was definitely an extraordinary existence; otherwise, the system wouldn't have demanded 100,000 Acting Cool Points just to help break it.

You must know that when he saw the disguised Zixia Fairy at the Five Elements Mountain back then, it only cost him 5,000 Acting Cool Points to see her true face.

Now, this old woman's disguise transformation required 100,000 Acting Cool Points, a 20-fold increase. Its power could be imagined; to summarize it simply in five words—it's damn powerful!

"It seems I really didn't misjudge you. You are indeed stronger than many at the Void Integration Stage!" At this moment, the old woman nodded slightly. "However... it was not my own wish to change my appearance, but rather I was poisoned in the Refining Moon Palace. Unless I can break through to the mid-stage of the Human Immortal Realm, this poison is incurable!"

"Oh? Is it poison? Actually, I knew that long ago; I just wanted to test your sincerity." Xu Que replied without blushing or skipping a beat.

He had just been bragging that he learned this disguise transformation at three years old, and now it turned out the opponent was poisoned. This was a bit awkward.

"Since you have seen my sincerity, do you have any other concerns regarding the cooperation?" the old woman asked faintly, not caring about Xu Que's bragging.

Xu Que smiled: "Concerns are natural, but I have long since taken life and death lightly. I can cooperate with you, but I have one last question."

"Speak." The old woman nodded.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes: "What is in the jade box in the Refining Moon Palace?"

The old woman pondered for a moment, appearing somewhat hesitant, but after a short while, she said with a solemn expression: "What is in the jade box is a Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone!"

"What thing?" Xu Que was stunned, having never heard of any Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone.

The old woman, however, was not surprised at all, nodding as if she had expected it: "It is normal that you haven't heard of this item, given that you can't even distinguish realms above the Great Vehicle Stage."

When she said this, she paused slightly, flicked her finger, and took out a small black stone the size of a thumb. The black stone was unremarkable, but it had a crack on it, and that crack presented a dark golden color.

"This item is a Spirit Dao Stone. The number of cracks is what we call patterns. The more patterns, the more majestic the Dao Rhyme contained in the stone. And this piece in my hand is only half of a One-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone; it's not even a full one." The old woman explained concisely.

"This unremarkable black stone can actually contain Dao Rhyme? Is it man-made or formed by heaven and earth?" Xu Que was shocked.

After all, he had only heard of Spirit Stones, which were formed by heaven and earth, containing massive spiritual power that could be used for cultivation and even as currency.

But before this, he had never heard of such a thing as a Spirit Dao Stone. Hearing the old woman's introduction, Xu Que subconsciously associated it with Spirit Stones.

After all, they were very similar, except one provided spiritual power to cultivators, while the other provided Dao Rhyme.

"It is neither man-made nor formed by heaven and earth!" The old woman shook her head and said lightly.

Xu Que was stunned again: "Then who made it?"

The old woman's gaze focused, and she only uttered one word: "Immortal!"

"Immortal?" Xu Que was immediately puzzled. "Are you kidding me? Aren't you an Immortal?"

"Me?" The old woman couldn't help but smile, shook her head, and sighed: "The path to immortality is long, and there are countless strong ones. How can I, a mere Human Immortal, be called an Immortal? Don't forget, in the two words 'Human Immortal', there is still the word 'Human'!"

"So, only an Earth Immortal can create these Spirit Dao Stones?" Xu Que frowned, feeling that the road ahead was very distant and long.

"Yes, Spirit Dao Stones are extremely precious, almost priceless treasures. Only those at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, before they die, can gather their entire body's Dao Rhyme to condense into one Spirit Dao Stone."

The old woman raised her hand, carefully holding the half-piece of the One-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone in her hand, and said in a low voice:

"Like this piece in my hand, it came from the hands of someone at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, so it only has one pattern, yet it is still precious and was obtained at a huge cost. And those at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can condense a Two-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone. As for a Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone, it requires someone at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm to condense it."

Xu Que nodded in sudden realization after hearing this.

He had generally understood it clearly: this so-called Spirit Dao Stone was, to put it plainly, a product left behind by someone in the Immortal Realm before they died, perhaps similar to the Sarira of the Buddhist sect.

However, the reason this Spirit Dao Stone was precious was certainly that it could store and purify a cultivator's Dao Rhyme, which could be used by others to help improve their foundation of Dao Rhyme, making it more majestic and helping them easily break through bottlenecks to step into new realms.

"Young man, think it over. Spirit Dao Stones are very precious to cultivators. If you can seize the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone from the Refining Moon Palace, we can split it in half, and I will also teach you how to use this kind of Spirit Dao Stone!" At this moment, the old woman spoke, her gaze slightly intense, looking at Xu Que full of expectation.

Xu Que nodded and smiled: "Good, I like cooperating with straightforward people like you. Tell me, what needs to be prepared, and when can we set off?"

He agreed very straightforwardly, clearly interested in the Spirit Dao Stone the old woman spoke of.

Powerful as this old woman was, at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm, she was still unable to condense a Spirit Dao Stone.

And the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone was formed by a Golden Immortal, spanning three major realms from the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm. One could imagine how majestic the Dao Rhyme contained in the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone must be.

Xu Que was very moved. He believed that if he could obtain the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone and refine it, his Dao Rhyme would definitely double.

By then, let alone quickly improving his realm, even the lethality of the King of Acting Cool Fist would be greatly increased. Perhaps even a Human Immortal could be killed in an instant.

"No need to prepare anything; just don't get injured before setting off. Calculating the time, in three days, the Refining Moon Palace will arrive in this realm. By then, you can come to the Song family to find me." The old woman said, her eyes clearly revealing joy and hope.

This feeling seemed to be that she believed as long as Xu Que was willing to cooperate, she would have full confidence in obtaining the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone.

Xu Que smiled meaningfully and nodded: "Good, then see you in three days!"

After saying this, he turned directly and walked toward the Song family courtyard.

Er Gouzi, seeing the situation improve, immediately popped out from not far away, chasing after him with curiosity and gossip: "Damn, kid, you didn't die? This God Venerable just saw that old woman looking very happy. You wouldn't happen to be not letting even an old woman go, would you?"

"Get lost, get lost, you dead pervert, you've gone totally out of shape after a trip to Earth's Japan!"

Xu Que glared at Er Gouzi impatiently, but he was too lazy to beat it up. He hurried away from the Song family gate and ran directly toward the city gate to reunite with Jiang Hongyan and the others.

Since they were going treasure hunting, naturally they had to bring their own people.

When the time came to obtain the Three-Pattern Spirit Dao Stone and incidentally get the black and white ashes, he could directly refine the Space-Breaking Talisman and return to the Four Great Continents in one go.

"Boom!"

However, just as Xu Que stepped out of the city gate, a huge force suddenly blasted down from above, aiming directly at Xu Que's head.

"Oh?"

Xu Que immediately raised his eyebrows, his feet instantly stepping out with majestic lightning, his figure swaying violently, leaving only an afterimage in place.

Boom!

A huge explosion blasted into the spot, annihilating his afterimage.

Following closely, several figures appeared in the air, shouting sternly: "Bold rat, how dare you ambush people from my Lu family! Take your life!"

Xu Que then looked up and saw several middle-aged men wearing white shirts, with the character "Lu" embroidered on their sleeves. They were clearly Lu family members, and judging by the situation, they had come to avenge Lu Zhouhe.

"Heh, another one of these cliché routines. Kill the small one, and the big ones come. It's just a pity that in my eyes, you are all ants!"

Xu Que sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Er Gouzi, bring the shit!"

Swoosh, Er Gouzi immediately flew over from behind, full of excitement: "It's here, it's here, just pulled it not long ago, careful, it's hot!"
