Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Ye Qingshan’s Origins! Masterless Sacrificial Artifact!

"Ye Qingxuan?"

Lu Xuan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard the name.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Ye Qingshan’s daughter.

Back then, when Li Yanran left White Dao Prefecture, she mentioned a few things to him, asking him to look after this Ye Qingxuan.

"Alright, I understand."

Given the circumstances, let’s also prioritize Ye Qingxuan as a key cultivation target for the City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards, just like Liang Cheng.

Ye Qingshan was overjoyed when Lu Xuan agreed.

This was the only way he could help his daughter.

"By the way, Mr. Lu!"

"That ominous anomaly, I believe there’s something strange about it."

"It shouldn’t appear in a place like Anzhou."

Lu Xuan was slightly taken aback by Ye Qingshan’s words, unsure of his meaning.

"Anzhou is located in the Southern Domain, far from the Heavenly Capital."

"Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible for anomalies above ominous level to appear."

"The further from the Heavenly Capital the location is, the lower the level of anomalies that appear!"

"However, the anomaly that appeared today clearly far exceeds the normal ominous level."

"Its ominous aura covered the entire county town, and the yin energy was the strongest I’ve seen in my life!"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan regarded Ye Qingshan differently, more seriously.

How could Ye Qingshan, a mere county magistrate, have such detailed knowledge about supernatural anomalies?

What Ye Qingshan said, Lu Xuan naturally knew as well.

As for why the Southern Domain wouldn’t have anomalies above ominous level?

That’s because the Southern Domain is far from the Spirit Ruins.

The Spirit Ruins in the Heavenly Capital are the fundamental reason affecting the levels of supernatural anomalies.

Since learning this information, Lu Xuan had been patiently waiting for Li Chengfeng’s return.

Once Li Chengfeng returned to White Dao Prefecture, it would be time for Lu Xuan to head to Zhongzhou’s Heavenly Capital.

Only places like Zhongzhou would have extraordinary anomalies appear.

Lu Xuan was now curious about Ye Qingshan’s true identity.

This Ye Qingshan, a martial artist in the Blood Refining Realm, was actually living in a small county like Qingyun County.

As Lu Xuan pondered, Ye Qingshan seemed to remember some past events, a melancholic expression gradually appeared on his face.

"Mr. Ye, it seems your background is quite extraordinary. How do you know these things?"

"Ah, Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, my real name is not Ye Qingshan, but Xu Zheng!"

"I hail from the Xunfeng Academy in the Great Xia Academy and am the true disciple of President Liu Fengtai."

....

After half a stick incense’s time had passed, Lu Xuan listened to Ye Qingshan’s past.

Twenty-five years ago, Ye Qingshan was originally a student at the Great Xia Academy.

Due to his decent martial arts aptitude and outstanding talent, he was accepted as the final disciple by the president of Xunfeng Academy, Liu Fengtai.

However, Ye Qingshan, young and reckless, seemed to have written some negative remarks about one of the Heavenly Capital eight great families, the Luo family.

If it was just for his own eyes, it might have been fine.

But Ye Qingshan, fearless of death, posted these things outside the Great Xia Academy.

As a result, as could be expected, Ye Qingshan attracted the attention of the Luo family.

On that day, five martial artists of the Inner Qi Realm attempted to assassinate Ye Qingshan on the street.

But Ye Qingshan was saved by a passing mysterious strong man who casually threw him back to the Great Xia Academy.

Ye Qingshan’s mentor, Liu Fengtai, upon witnessing this, immediately put Ye Qingshan under house arrest.

It wasn’t until two years ago, after Ye Qingshan’s wife unexpectedly passed away, that he was severely affected and Liu Fengtai let him out.

Liu Fengtai even used his position to secure the position of county magistrate of Qingyun County for Ye Qingshan.

And the reason President Liu Fengtai cared so much for Ye Qingshan was that Ye Qingshan’s wife was his daughter.

"Mr. Lu, this is also why I know so much."

As the top-ranked academy of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Academy naturally has records of various world secrets.

Precisely, those supernatural anomaly informations are documented in the books of the Great Xia Academy.

The eight great families, the Luo family?

Lu Xuan secretly noted this name in his mind.

Now he had gained some information about the Heavenly Capital eight great families.

Of course, Lu Xuan did not intend to ask too much about the Luo family.

After all, that Luo family and Ye Qingshan had a deep blood feud, and Lu Xuan understood boundaries.

The immediate priority is to understand why this ominous anomaly appeared in Qingyun County.

"Mr. Ye, where do you think this ominous anomaly came from?"

"Unless someone brought this ominous anomaly from somewhere else."

"I suspect someone used a sacred vessel to seal that ominous anomaly and brought it from Zhongzhou to the Southern Domain Anzhou."

As soon as Ye Qingshan said the words ’sacred vessel,’ Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed, staring at Ye Qingshan.

"Sacred vessel!"

"Mr. Ye, is this true?"

"There’s actually something in this world that can seal those ghostly things?"

Again, sacred vessels!

Lu Xuan had only heard of sacred vessels from Li Chengfeng and Mo Ronghua.

Now, Ye Qingshan was also talking about sacred vessels.

Moreover, he spoke of a secret that shocked Lu Xuan greatly.

Extraordinary anomalies can actually be sealed by so-called sacred vessels.

Wait!

Sealing?

The word sealing suddenly reminded Lu Xuan of that bronze bowl.

Lu Xuan recalled that the system panel had hinted to him that the origin of heaven and earth was sealed, and extraction failed.

Could it be that the so-called bronze bowl is a sacred vessel?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xuan’s eyes gradually grew fervent, unable to hide his inner excitement.

"Mr. Ye, can you check if this item is indeed one of those sacred vessels?"

Lu Xuan had no intention of hiding the matter of the bronze bowl.

Because Ye Qingshan, who hailed from the Heavenly Capital Great Xia Academy, was the only one who could resolve Lu Xuan’s doubts now.

Lu Xuan took out the bronze bowl he had just obtained from his chest, palms open, and handed it to Ye Qingshan.

But Ye Qingshan didn’t even glance at it, smiling as he said, "Mr. Lu, this you may not know; sacred vessels cannot be identified by anyone."

"The only way to confirm it is a sacred vessel is for a martial artist above the Inner Qi Realm to inject the power of heaven and earth, revealing the true appearance of the sacred vessel."

"Oh?"

Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up; wasn’t he precisely a martial artist above the Inner Qi Realm?

"Mr. Lu, if this bronze bowl is a sacred vessel sealing that ominous anomaly, then it is now an unclaimed sacred vessel."

"You can precisely inject Gang Yuan and drive this sacred vessel!"

"Unclaimed?"

Is there a distinction between owners for sacred vessels?

"Sacred vessels can only be driven by martial artists who pledge themselves using their own strength."

"Unless the person who owned the sacred vessel dies, or it’s been used to seal an extraordinary anomaly."

"Once a sacred vessel seals an extraordinary anomaly, the strength of the pledged person would be consumed by the anomaly and it becomes an unclaimed sacred vessel!"

When Ye Qingshan reached this point, he vaguely guessed the answer.

"Mr. Lu, I may already know who’s behind this."

"Besides those Pure World White Lotus Sect fiends, no one else would willingly abandon a sacred vessel to seal these extraordinary anomalies."

"Hmph, those fiends of the Pure World White Lotus Sect, they fear the world isn’t in chaos, treating lives like weeds."
