"Are your turtle shells and flesh used to refine weapons and elixirs?"
"That's right. Because we, the Dunyue'ao clan, were born in the core sea area of Thirty-Three Heavens. The rules here, the pressure of power and chaos have no effect on us at all. It can be said that we are born to adapt. Therefore, those in the Jie Cult pursue "breaking the "Normally", we most like to use our turtle shells and flesh as a refining primer.
Alchemy and weapon refining are the key points of our clan's fate. "
Speaking of this, Ao Xun has nothing to hide. It is probably the last Yue-Swallowing Ao in the world now. Life and death are also in the hands of others. Now as long as he can survive, he doesn't care about anything else. I don't care about coming either.
Zhang Yan's heart moved, and he seemed to feel that he had touched some key.
"You mean to say that you can use your tortoise shells and flesh and blood to refine some magic weapons and elixirs that "break the rules". What "conventional" does it mean? Do you mean the power of normal rules?"
"Your guess is good. It is a magic weapon and elixir that breaks the normal rules. But we don't know the specific refining method."
"Dismantling the normal rules?" Zhang Yan frowned slightly. Although he felt that he should have found a new path on the "fork in the road". But it sounds like it's still far from where he ultimately wants to be.
Ao Xun didn't understand. In its opinion, Zhang Yan should have been surprised and even shown greed after hearing what it said about the characteristics of the Tunyueao tribe. But he didn't expect that the other party was actually a dead person with a slight frown on his face. Are you frowning because you don't know how to refine Jie Jiao?
It's not surprising that Ao Xun doesn't understand. In its understanding, too many people use the power of normal rules, just like the disciples of Chan Jiao and Ren Jiao. The "break" and "change" advocated by Jie Jiao disciples are even more powerful and unexpected. It stands to reason that Zhang Yan should be yearning for it rather than "frowning" it. The only explanation is "asking for it but not getting it".
But in fact, Ao Xun's thoughts were completely contrary to what Zhang Yan really thought.
After a long while, Zhang Yan said again: "Our clan was born in this kind of environment and is most adaptable to chaotic rules. Why should we use it in reverse to break it? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use it in a positive way to maintain this kind of chaos and dig deeper into the order in the chaos? ?Have you ever heard those disciples who explained the religion say this?"
Zhang Yan is not a disciple of Jie Jiao, and he will not pursue non-mainstream methods belonging to Jie Jiao. What he cared about was not at all the direction that Jie Jiao's disciples were taking.
When asked by Zhang Yan, Ao Xun nodded quickly and said: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you also know how to refine weapons. Indeed, the characteristic of our Tunyue'ao clan is not "to dismantle" but "to carry". Amidst chaos, Growing up in chaos, you are naturally more adaptable to chaos, rather than being used as an introduction to "dismantle" those normal rules.
Alas, it's just that the method of interception is weird. In the end, our clan was also brutally poisoned. "
"If that's the case, let me ask you, can you find the remains of your people? Bones and blood aside, turtle shells will probably not decay for tens of millions of years, right? Is it possible to find them?"
How could Ao Xun not understand when he heard this? Zhang Yan was mentally prepared for this when he first started talking about this issue. Now he didn't panic and nodded. He replied: "My clan has a clan cemetery at the bottom of the sea. Only our clan knows about it, even Saint Tongtian didn't notice it at the time. It has always been the place where the elders of our clan died. There should be tortoise shells left by our clan's predecessors there. Remains. I can get some for you.
But you have to swear a blood oath and promise not to take my life again in the future. What do you think? "
Zhang Yan was not surprised when faced with Ao Xun's bargaining. If he were in the other party's situation, he would definitely try his best to get as much protection as possible for himself. And if what the other party said about the "cemetery in the clan" was true, and he really hid it from Saint Tongtian, then it could only be that that clan land existed thirty-three days before Saint Tongtian came here. It should be the real hidden corner of this sea area.
Besides, what Ao Xun took were the remains of his ancestors. Although animals are not said to be "loyal and filial", there must be a tradition in the cemetery. Taking out the remains of ancestors is definitely against tradition. It's not an exaggeration to call him a treasonous person. It's very reasonable to get a better treatment and a guarantee of survival.
It's just that although the request is reasonable, it seems a bit ridiculous when it falls on Zhang Yan.
The so-called blood oath, in fact, the full name should be called "Heart Demon Blood Oath". It is an oath sworn to one's true heart. It will be engraved deep into one's Taoist heart through special techniques and cannot be changed or eliminated. Once you break your oath, you will be disturbed by the resulting demonic obstacles during the next tribulation, and even at every critical juncture of practice. Even during the tribulation, the demons will take advantage of the situation and enter the body to die.
It can be said that the blood oath is a natural shackle that monks and immortals cannot avoid, and it is also a guarantee to gain the trust of others. But the problem is that Zhang Yan is different from others. He has never sorted out his Taoist heart from the beginning. He has cultivated all the way through chance and coincidence and the help of Huang Tianyu.
So there is no such thing as Daoxin Zhang Yan at all.
The blood oath relying on Taoist heart is even more inexplicable.
But Zhang Yan would not tell others these things. What's more, now that Ao Xun is asking for protection, he won't suffer any loss anyway, he just needs to cooperate and act.
According to the introduction of blood oaths in Taoist books, Zhang Yan began to perform actions and muttered words so that Ao Xun could hear them. "If Ao Xun is willing to help me get back the usable tortoise shells from the remains of his ancestors and meet my needs, I will treat him kindly and not kill him on the condition that he does not do harm to me in the future. If he violates this oath, The inner demons are haunting and will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
This oath strictly followed the description of the blood oath in the Taoist book. Not only was Ao Xun unable to find anything wrong, even a Jinxian or Da Luo from the Three Religions would not notice anything unusual. But in fact, this blood oath is just superficial. It has no foundation at all, and there is no basis for the success of the blood oath.
It's like writing on a slate with clean water. It seems to leave traces, but in fact nothing is left.
In this way, there is no need to talk about the establishment of the blood oath and the subsequent constraints.
"Is this okay?" Zhang Yan asked.
"That's all right. Wait a moment, sir. I'll go get your things for you!" Ao Xun's ferocious beast's head seemed to be full of smiles. With the blood oath as a foundation, its heart finally calmed down at this time. Then he turned around and dived in to fulfill his promise.
Zhang Yan stayed on the sea, looking in the direction of Ao Island. I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
After an unknown amount of time, Ao Xun's huge body emerged from under the sea. The movements of behemoths always make great noise. Not to mention that this time it was dragging an equally huge turtle shell behind it with mana. No, that turtle shell is much bigger than Ao Xun!
This turtle shell should be the remains of Ao Xun's ancestor.
"Sir, I brought the things. I was worried that you wouldn't have enough, so I chose the largest piece. What do you think?"
