No hope for eternal life

Chapter 265: Sword Forging Secrets

After Mu Changsheng received the baptism, he not only felt refreshed, but his cultivation also improved a bit. However, he did not directly break through to the late Nascent Soul stage because it was not long since Mu Changsheng broke through to the middle Nascent Soul stage. If he forced a breakthrough directly, it would be like forcing things to happen.

Then, Emperor Tianqing sent the three black beads confiscated from Huan Yiyun to Mu Changsheng, and said: "I have already injected most of my remaining divine power into these three black beads, which is enough for you to activate the teleportation array six times for free."

"Thank you, senior." Mu Changsheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Six free chances were equivalent to saving 180,000 high-quality spirit stones. In addition, he already had two sets of black beads, so he could sell one set. This perfect life-saving treasure could definitely be sold for a good price.

The Tianqing Emperor snapped his fingers again, and a huge amount of information was transmitted into Mu Changsheng's mind. That was the inheritance of the weapon refining art of the Tianqing Emperor. Huan Yiyu was dead, so he naturally needed to find another successor to the weapon refining art. However, it was too late, and there was no one more suitable than Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng felt the inheritance of weapon refining, most of which were about sword-making, which also corresponded to Emperor Tianqing's hobby of sword-making.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng suddenly remembered something: "Yi Qianhuan has been acquiring sword-forging secrets. He probably hasn't collected the sword-forging secrets of Emperor Tianqing."

After delivering the three gifts, the figure of Emperor Tianqing really began to dissipate. At the last moment, Emperor Tianqing sighed softly: "It's a pity that you don't practice swordsmanship, and you are still a little bit unlucky with me."

Mu Changsheng also saw that the Tianqing Emperor was about to dissipate, so he clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Farewell, senior. I will never forget your kindness in teaching me today."

Emperor Tianqing didn't say anything else, because this was no longer his era.

In the end, the figure of Emperor Tianqing completely disappeared, and he bid a silent farewell to the Nine Realms. The void also seemed to become darker and duller because of the departure of Emperor Tianqing.

Mu Changsheng bowed three times respectfully in the direction where the Tianqing Emperor disappeared, then turned to You Mifeng and said, "Let's go."

You Mi Feng followed Mu Changsheng silently and rushed to Tianshui Realm.

On the way, Mu Changsheng casually checked the storage bag left by Huan Yiyu. In addition to some spiritual weapons and spiritual materials, there were millions of mid-grade spiritual stones, nearly 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones, and thousands of top-grade spiritual stones!

Huan Yiyu had thousands of top-grade spirit stones, which Mu Changsheng had never expected. However, Mu Changsheng soon figured out the reason: "When one's cultivation reaches the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, one should prepare a large amount of top-grade spirit stones to overcome the tribulation."

Obviously, these top-grade spirit stones of Huan Yiyu were prepared for overcoming tribulations and breaking through, but now they have become a bargain for Mu Changsheng.

"Before, I thought that using top-grade spirit stones for cultivation was too extravagant, but now I can try out the speed of cultivation using top-grade spirit stones." Mu Changsheng thought happily.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng looked at You Mifeng beside him. Regarding the You clan, Mu Changsheng actually had a lot of questions in his mind. Now that he had You Mifeng with him, he could ask them at will.

"I heard that your You clan is divided into the main line and the side line. How do you distinguish between the two specifically?" Mu Changsheng first asked about the issue of legitimate and illegitimate children, because the issue of legitimate and illegitimate children is often the foundation of a family.

You Mi Feng naturally did not hide anything about this and replied: "According to the clan's rules, once one's cultivation reaches the seventh realm, one will automatically be promoted to the main lineage. At the same time, the three generations of blood relatives of the seventh realm cultivator will also become the main lineage disciples. Moreover, the children and descendants of the main lineage cultivator will also be the main lineage disciples, and so on, from generation to generation, until the seventh realm cultivator dies, the clan members who were promoted to the main lineage because of him will be deprived of the main lineage status. In addition, if one dies in battle for the family, regardless of the level of cultivation, his three generations of blood relatives will be protected and become the main lineage disciples, and this main lineage status will last for at least a thousand years. The specific length of time depends on the situation. There is an institution in the clan that specializes in reviewing this matter."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. This model was extremely enlightened. Every member of the clan had the opportunity to become the main lineage, which could greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the clan members.

"Where is the gap between the main line and the side line?" Mu Changsheng asked again.

"Resources." You Mifeng said in a deep voice: "In the entire Tianyou Realm, most of the cultivators have the surname You. There are too many people in the side branches, and the family cannot support everyone. If the side branch disciples want to obtain resources, they must pass various tests set by the family, accept tasks within the family, etc., while the main branch disciples can get a certain amount of resources every year even if they do nothing. In addition, the main branch disciples also have various privileges, such as buying spiritual objects cheaper, being more likely to be favored by the family, etc."

"Are you the main line or the side line?"

"Collateral line."

"How do you, the You Clan, train your people?"

"Every member of the clan will enter the cultivation school set up by the family at the age of five, and will practice in the school for a total of ten years. During these ten years, the family will distribute various cultivation resources for free, and treat the main and side branches equally. According to the cultivation performance, each person will be evaluated for cultivation qualifications. The cultivation qualifications are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Each level is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower, for a total of twelve levels. After the age of fifteen, each member will be assigned to a different department of the family according to their cultivation qualifications. The work of each department is simple, but the resources obtained are also very scarce. If you want to obtain more resources, you must complete more family tasks."

"What is your cultivation qualification?"

"Fifth class, Class B."

……

In this way, the two asked and answered each other. Mu Changsheng asked You Mifeng many questions until he had a general understanding of the You clan, and then he stopped asking questions.

"There is indeed a reason why the You clan has been able to pass down for so many years." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. The You clan was not as stubborn and conservative as he had imagined, and was full of decadence. Instead, it was a "terrible" family that was eclectic, innovative, and enterprising!

After so many rounds of questioning, You Mifeng came to his senses. He realized that Mu Changsheng seemed to be very interested in the internal system of the You clan, and this interest was excessive. It was impossible for an ordinary person to ask so many questions in a row.

You Mifeng had a guess in his mind and asked directly: "You don't want me to help you go undercover in the You Clan?"

Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked without comment: "What if I say yes?"

Mu Changsheng also suddenly had this thought after You Mi Feng swore the Slave Demon Oath. Of course, with You Mi Feng's cultivation and identity, even if he went undercover in the You Clan, it would be difficult for him to play a big role, so Mu Changsheng treated You Mi Feng more as an idle chess piece, and even hoped that he would never use this chess piece.

Facing Mu Changsheng's question, You Mifeng said indifferently: "It's up to you. To be honest, I don't think you can pose any threat to the You Clan."

More importantly, You Mifeng believed that he would never be able to get in touch with the core of the You clan in his lifetime. Even if he wanted to leak some secrets of the You clan to Mu Changsheng, he couldn't do it.

Seeing that You Mi Feng had no objection to being an undercover agent, Mu Changsheng felt relieved. He then ordered You Mi Feng, "You and I must not mention our affairs to a third person. In the future, unless I take the initiative to contact you, you are not allowed to contact me in any form. To the outside world, we are just a acquaintance."

Mu Changsheng was so cautious because he was afraid that the You Clan would know what was happening here. He was still just a small Nascent Soul Stage and could not afford to provoke the You Clan.

"I understand." You Mi Feng answered without any objection.
