Chapter 2036: Show off

Driven by Zhu Jiayi, the palm-sized wooden shield flew into the air and instantly turned into a large shield that was more than ten meters high and nearly four meters wide.

What shocked Master Sanduo was that the thickness of this wooden shield was close to two meters. "So thick?"

Zhu Jiayi did not answer his words, but felt it carefully again.

Not far away, there were patrolling disciples of the Zhu family. They felt that there was a strange atmosphere here and hurriedly came over.

When they saw the Second Patriarch and Master Sanduo standing there, they raised their hands to apologize and then retreated silently.

"Weird," Zhu Jiayi narrowed his eyes and muttered softly, "What kind of foot is this...?"

Then he asked Master Sanduo to attack the wooden shield.

Master Sanduo pulled out a sharp long sword and slashed it hard against the wooden shield.

The grade of this long sword is already high-level Jindan, but it is not his strongest attack. The name of Sanduo is really well-deserved.

Because he was worried about damaging the wooden shield too hard, he deliberately chose a corner, but he struck with all his strength.

After all, it is a magic weapon that can withstand a blow from the Nascent Soul, so it should be able to withstand it, right?

As expected, he managed to hold on, leaving a shallow sword mark where the long sword struck.

"The defense... is indeed pretty good," Master Sanduo nodded, and withstood Nascent Soul's blow, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But then, he was shocked to find that the second ancestor still looked thoughtful and couldn't help but ask, "Any questions?"

Zhu Jiayi pondered for a few seconds before whispering softly, "No...it's a bit alien."

The alien species mentioned by the cultivators is a general term that covers a wide range. "What do you think, Second Ancestor?"

Zhu Jiayi's face looked a little solemn, "It feels like it's a creature from another space... the possibility is not small."

In fact, he had some other guesses, but he couldn't say them out rashly.

It's just a golden elixir, but its ability to handle things is really poor.

However, even so, Master Sanduo was dumbfounded when he heard, "Alien trees... Nascent Soul?"

"It must be Nascent Soul," Zhu Jiayi nodded and couldn't help but comment, "Refining weapons like this mainly relies on materials!"

It can be seen that his evaluation of Hongye Ridge's weapon refining level is really not high, and he can only say the word "waste".

However, Master Sanduo was still immersed in the surprise just now, "They killed the Nascent Soul of the alien tree?"

"This possibility... objectively exists," Zhu Jiayi's words were very cautious.

After thinking about it, he spoke again, "Aren't you familiar with several direct descendants of the Li family in Cuipingshan? Go show off."

"Go and show off..." Master Sanduo did not reject this order. His title of Sanduo was earned through showing off.

But it was obvious that he sensed that the second ancestor had other intentions, "You are suspicious..."

"I'm not sure." Although Zhu Jiayi is the Zhu family's think tank, he is not omniscient and omnipotent after all. "It's best to have someone to discuss it."

"By the way, how many spiritual stones did you spend on these three wooden shields?"

"No, no!" Master Sanduo hesitated and replied, "How dare I talk about money when a real immortal has given me a treasure?"

"Confused!" Zhu Jiayi snorted, then flicked his sleeves, "Remember to take stock of your family property!"

Master Sanduo's work efficiency was still very high. Within a few days, he took several of his disciples to visit Cuiping Mountain.

It happened that the Li family was still eager to get the Nascent Soul Sword Box, so he used some tricks to see and feel the sword box up close.

In order to express his gratitude, he invited several familiar Li family members to eat and drink.

When he was half drunk, he showed off his wooden shield as he talked about the variables of the current blockade formation and the dangers of the cultivators patrolling.

He did these things flawlessly—it was just his true nature.

"Nascent Soul-level defensive magic weapon..." Several disciples of the Li family were extremely jealous. After all, the highest cultivation level among those present was only the Golden elixir.

So some Jindan disciples expressed that they really wanted to see their defensive capabilities.

Master Sanduo said that the method of refining this wooden shield was average, and he hoped that everyone would be merciful when testing it.

This won't be a big problem. Although a bunch of bad friends usually joke around and don't take it seriously, these are extraordinary times.

Everyone tried it out a few times at the Li family's martial arts arena and found that the defensive power of this wooden shield was really good.

One of them, a golden elixir who was good at refining weapons, also expressed the same emotion, "This is purely because the materials are good, it's a bit of a waste!"

"Huh?" A soft huh came, and an old man in his sixties suddenly appeared outside the martial arts arena.

The old man had a plain appearance and ordinary clothes, but several of the Li family members were all surprised, and then bowed deeply.

They all said in unison, "I have met Patriarch Handong."

The person who came was none other than Li Handong, another Nascent Soul ancestor of the Li family. He raised his hand and directly took the big shield into his hand.

He looked at the wooden shield carefully, then used his spiritual consciousness to sense it, and then looked at Master Sanduo.

"My little friend, where did you get this treasure?"

He vaguely felt the breath of another world, and was surprised, so he hurried over - after all, there was something strange happening in the town sealing formation.

Although the breath on the wooden shield was extremely weak, he lived long enough to notice the abnormality.

As for the refining techniques, he was not interested in caring about it at all. The material used was the key point.

Li Handong also knew that the owner of the magic weapon was a good friend of the clan members, so he rarely went out to ask questions.

Master Sanduo first bowed deeply and said, "I have seen my ancestor, where this treasure came from... and you want to ask me, the second ancestor of the Zhu family."

"It turns out to be the Zhu family..." Li Handong nodded slightly, threw the wooden shield back, and then disappeared.

At the same time, he sent out a spiritual consciousness, "Yu Ren, come here, I have something to do..."

Half a day later, Li Yuren came to see Master Sanduo.

He also took the wooden shield and played with it for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Take me to meet your second ancestor."

This matter was originally out of his control, and his eyesight was not very good, but he is a rookie that the Li family is currently strongly supporting.

Cuipingshan intended to increase his knowledge, connections and influence, so most of the external affairs were left to him.

Two days later, Li Yuren met Zhu Jiayi by the Biyu Lake.

He asked straight to the point, "I dare to ask my friend, where does the wooden shield held by little friend Niandi come from?"

Zhu Jiayi asked instead, "Did your Handong ancestor of the Li family also sense something unusual?"

"This material comes from a foreign race in a different world," Li Yuren said with certainty. The Handong ancestor made this very clear.

However, he and Li Handong were more concerned about something else, "But what are the gains outside the town sealing formation?"

"That's not true," Zhu Jiayi shook his head and replied casually, "it was your forces under Cuiping Mountain that gave it to him."

"Under the command of Cuipingshan..." Li Yuren was startled for a moment, then realized, "Hongye Ridge?"

"Are you kidding? How dare Cuiping Mountain take them under its command...are they really them?"

Zhu Jiayi nodded when he heard this, "Nian Di is thick-skinned and insists on asking for something for self-defense. Fellow Taoist Qu actually loves and protects this junior."

"If it's them, it wouldn't be surprising," Li Yuren thought and nodded slightly.

Then he said thoughtfully, "Old ancestor of Jiayi, why don't you and I go together?"

"I won't go to save you the inconvenience of talking," Zhu Jiayi slowly shook his head, "After all, it involves a different world."

Li Yuren also knew in his heart that the other party had a plan just in case.

If the people in Hongyeling are spies from a foreign race, and Zhu Jiayi doesn't go, at least the insiders won't be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Although this possibility is almost non-existent, when the Khajiit invaded in the past, weirder things happened...

The cultivators of Dongsheng have been preparing for war for hundreds of years, and they are still very vigilant.

Li Yuren smiled nonchalantly, "They shouldn't be that kind of people, but fellow Taoists are just waiting for my news."

One day later, he came to Hongye Ridge again. After seeing Qu Jianlei, he couldn't help but complain.

"I think it is necessary to move to your place. Is there any free training cave?"

"You talk strangely," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's because you can't stop yourself."

"There are no free caves, and it's not convenient... What's the reason for coming here this time?"

Li Yuren stared at him and asked, "It's inconvenient, you mean alien trees?"

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei turned his head and looked at him seriously before smiling nonchalantly, "Did the Zhu family contact you?"

Li Yuren observed him very carefully, but found that the other person's expression was extremely natural and magnanimous.

He spoke seriously, "I hope to know the source of this material... Fellow Taoist, I am serious."

"What's there to say?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows indifferently, "I have hunted this kind of alien race before."

Li Yuren looked at him seriously, "I want to know the details and the situation of the town sealing formation."
