"How come even you don't know about it?"
Lu Yin found it strange. The Mist Ancestor was one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas and should stand at the peak of the human race, but even she didn't know about it.
"Those fellows are all so secretive. Who knows what they're thinking? I'm not the only one who doesn't know. Wang Fan, Bai Wangyuan, and Huiwen definitely don't know."
"Are you sure?"
Lu Yin didn't believe it. Not just anyone could see through the Hui Ancestor's wisdom.
The Mist Ancestor looked at Lu Yin. "Are you doubting my ability to see through people?"
"No," Lu Yin hurriedly replied. "With Senior's ability to see through people, not even the Primogenitor can escape your eyes. How could I doubt you? I just don't understand."
The Mist Ancestor loved being praised, and the more vicious the better.
Hold on, these two women in front of him weren't easy to deal with. One was like a pirate, and the other needed to be praised.
"The Netherworld Ancestor left behind the words' Primordial 'in his memories, and I've heard of it three times. It seems like that place isn't simple. If Xia Shang and the others aren't dead, then they might be there," the Mist Ancestor guessed.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. It seemed like he would have to roll Enhance when he got back. With his current strength, he could fuse with cultivators with at least six tribulations, so he would know more. However, it was unlikely that someone with six tribulations would know about Primordial City. Even the Mist Ancestor didn't know about it.
"I'm leaving," Big Sis said.
Lu Yin asked, "Where are you going, Big Sis?
Back to the Butian Sect? "
"To find the evil scripture," Big Sis said in a low voice.
Lu Yin frowned. "Can you find it?"
Big Sis replied, "Nonsense, I can sense people with the evil scripture within a certain range. I'll find it one day."
"It won't be dangerous, right?" Lu Yin was worried.
Big Sis waved a hand. "It's a technique that I created. How can it be so dangerous?
Alright, don't worry about this. I'll deal with it myself. It's just a technique. "
"But it can control people."
"No one below the Half-Ancestor level can do anything to me. Which Half-Ancestor would dare to attack me?
Don't worry. "She then left. Her first destination was Earth, where Undying Yushan had once roamed.
Big Sis had already left, and Lu Yin still needed to pacify the You family. He couldn't just take the You family's secret and run away.
Even though the "You" word belonged to the Netherworld Ancestor, the You family had also been passed down for many years. Leaving without any contributions or hard work would not be good for the You family, and it would be even worse for Lu Yin's reputation. Fate's Daughter and the Starsibyl Sect had not joined him, so he could make use of them. However, the You family was different. They had joined him, so he had to make up for them.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Lu Yin thought about the Yu Secret Art and Plan Secret Art that he had grasped, but he couldn't casually pass them on to the You Family. As for his other battle techniques, the Reverse Step Secret Art might be good, but it was far less valuable to the You Family than the You Secret Art.
"Are you thinking about how to appease the You Family?"
Asked the Mist Ancestor.
Lu Yin nodded and then smiled bitterly. "The You family only came here from the Neoverse because of me. Since Big Sis took the Yōu Secret away, I can't just leave them be."
"You can teach them the Micro Incantation," said the Fog Ancestor.
Lu Yin looked at the Mist Ancestor in shock. "Senior is willing to teach them the Micro Incantation?"
The Mist Ancestor looked outside. "After all, they are the descendants of an old friend, and I don't have a successor. It's better to leave some of my power behind. Old Fu, Xia Shang, and the others all left behind their power, so I can't keep it to myself. Aside from the Micro Incantation, I can also teach them the Smoke Cloud Incarnation.
I can also teach them the Confusion Technique. "
Lu Yin was delighted. "Thank you, Senior."
The Mist Ancestor laughed. "In their hearts, these things aren't as valuable as the Yōu Secret Art."
"No, in their hearts, rather than guarding the Yōu Secret Art, it's better to rely on the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas," Lu Yin said.
Just as he had said, when they heard that the Mist Ancestor was willing to pass on his power to them, everyone from the You family immediately knelt down in gratitude. If not for the Mist Ancestor's reluctance, they would have taken him as their master. The Yōu Secret Art wasn't that valuable to them, and it wasn't as important as the inheritance from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Of course, they were disappointed. After all, the inheritance had been passed down for so many years, and it was the You family's symbol.
"I'm only teaching you because of that portrait. After all, I'm acquainted with You Xiaojing, and we can be considered old friends. I hope that you can pass on my power and not disappoint me," the Mist Ancestor said.
Everyone from the You family bowed once more.
Elder You was so excited that his injuries worsened. He saw hope for the You family's revival.
Although the Yōu Secret Art was gone, it hadn't been of much help to the You family over the years. Even though they had obtained some battle techniques from it, that was all they could do. How could it compare to a true inheritance from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas?
"Senior, this junior has always been curious. What exactly are these secret arts?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor thought for a moment. "When you reach the Progenitor realm, your body will have a strange resonance with the universe. You can use your own strength to cater to the universe and create some unimaginable techniques. These are secret arts, but they aren't very useful in a battle between Progenitors. Most of them are created for their descendants or disciples to cultivate, and they can be considered life-saving measures."
Lu Yin didn't understand, but he didn't dwell on it. Forget about Progenitors, even Half-Ancestors rarely used secret arts in a battle. These kinds of techniques were more useful when one was weak. As one's cultivation increased, the mystical effects of secret arts would gradually weaken, and they would no longer have the ability to turn something rotten into something magical.
The excitement he had felt when he had obtained the Yu Secret Art had already disappeared. Even though the Mist Ancestor had said that he would inherit the Mistlock Bewilderment technique, it didn't interest Lu Yin that much.
The Mist Ancestor had only passed down his power to the You family for a day, and he had left behind the jade stone containing the Minute Drawing Technique and the secret arts before leaving. Before he left, Elder You had sought out Lu Yin and asked him to pay attention to Big Sis. They still didn't believe that they weren't the Netherworld Ancestor's descendants, and they would rather believe that Big Sis wasn't the Netherworld Ancestor.
"Whether or not I'm the Netherworld Ancestor's descendant isn't that important. Although a family's inheritance is good, some people have to start from scratch to reach their current position. Dry Tree's path was very difficult, and so was I. I don't have a family's inheritance," the Mist Ancestor said from outer space.
Lu Yin held the mirror. "They no longer hope to obtain anything from the Netherworld Ancestor, but they also don't wish to deny his persistence."
"It's meaningless," the Mist Ancestor said.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something and looked at the Mist Ancestor. "Senior, do you have a lot of power vessels in your collection?"
The Mist Ancestor stared at Lu Yin and narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin replied, "I'm just asking what level of cultivation this junior used to deal with the Mist Ancestor. You tossed out the corresponding power vessels, so I'm curious if you have a lot of them."
The Mist Ancestor was about to deny it.
Lu Yin continued, "With your status, you must have a lot of treasures. As someone from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, let alone those Half-Progenitors and Envoys, even Progenitors of the same generation would send you gifts. This is especially true for the battle techniques that you inherited. Your comprehension of battle techniques far surpasses that of ordinary people, so there must be many people who seek your help, right?"
The Mist Ancestor opened his mouth and coughed. "That's right."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Do you have any?
Do you have a wisdom root? "
The Mist Ancestor was about to deny it.
Lu Yin continued, "Of course you do. In that era, even the Ancestor of Hui had to give you face."
"That's right," the Mist Ancestor replied. Although his attitude was arrogant, he was also reserved.
"Can you lend me two of your wisdom roots?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up even more.
The Mist Ancestor was about to refuse.
Lu Yin continued, "Of course you're willing. A senior like you who values the younger generation naturally wouldn't care about two mere wisdom roots."
The Mist Ancestor stared at Lu Yin. "No."
Lu Yin was stunned and blinked. "You … you're not willing?"
The Mist Ancestor snorted. "Don't try to trick me with words. I'll tell you clearly that I have wisdom roots, and more than two of them. However, I can't lend them to you, and I can't give them to you either.
"Wisdom roots don't mean much to you, right?" Lu Yin smiled.
The Mist Ancestor raised his head. "Huiwen might not be good at fighting, but he's good at using his brain. He planted the wisdom roots, and in that era, there were too many people who wanted them. I snatched them from him."
"Snatched from someone else?"
Lu Yin was stunned.
"I snatched from Huiwen. I asked him for them, but he wouldn't give them to me. What a joke! I snatched them and left." The Mist Ancestor was proud, like a child who had broken through a taboo.
Lu Yin wasn't interested. "Then how many wisdom roots do you have?"
"Someone like you who can snatch from the Ancestor of Hui must have a lot of wisdom roots."
The Mist Ancestor's lips curled up. "I know you're trying to trick me, just like Huiwen. However, I can tell you that I have a lot of wisdom roots. If you have the ability, then come and trade with me. Unfortunately, I don't lack anything."
The two then returned to the Above the Sky Sect.
There, Lu Yin lived alone. It was very large, and the scenery was extremely beautiful. It was like a world of its own.
Zhao Ran was also here, and she had planted many flowers.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed when he thought of Zhao Ran. "Senior, please have some tea."
"If you have the ability, then trade with me. Other methods are useless to me," the Mist Ancestor said. "And I can't drink it. My true body is still in the mirror."
Lu Yin didn't say anything and just sat down. He then shouted, "Zhao Ran, make some tea."
"Ah, His Highness is back. I'll be right there." Zhao Ran's happy voice sounded from the flowerbed.
The Mist Ancestor looked around. "It'll be great when my true body comes out. It's so comfortable."
Lu Yin was thinking about what to trade for the wisdom roots. The Mist Ancestor didn't lack anything, and she just wanted to come out sooner. However, he couldn't help her with this, and even if he could, he wouldn't trade for it.
The Mist Ancestor had been trapped because she had fought against the Corpse King of the Eternals, and she had contributed greatly to the human race.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yin still couldn't think of anything good that could be traded for the wisdom roots.
At that moment, Zhao Ran arrived with a cup of tea. It was strangely green, and Lu Yin stared at it blankly. If he wasn't mistaken, then wasn't the mist on the teacup forming a skull?
No matter how he looked at it, it looked like poison.
"Eh, Your Highness, you have a guest?
I'll go make another cup. "Zhao Ran saw the Mist Ancestor and hurriedly returned, not even giving Lu Yin the tea.
Lu Yin looked at the Mist Ancestor.
The Mist Ancestor looked at Zhao Ran and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "This, this girl?
Why is she here?
She's still alive? "
"Senior, you know Zhao Ran?"
Lu Yin asked.
