Chapter 69: The Taste of Happiness!

  "That Xu Yu, must be hiding. If I find him, he will beg for life but won't get it, and beg for death but can't get that either!!"

  In a southwest direction, Huang Pingxi flew with a gloomy face, controlling the vast divine sense, almost thread by thread, inch by inch, sweeping from the lower boundary.

  As soon as he thought of his own inference, Ji Youming might have been seriously injured by Xu Yu, and the other party had hidden himself. Huang Pingxi was furious, and among the seven foundation-building monks in Yuyang Gate, although they came from the same sect, each had their own relationships. He was the one who had the closest relationship with Ji Youming, and naturally he remembered his hatred for Xu Yu, who had hurt Ji Youming, extremely clearly.

  After all, in his eyes, Xu Yu was just a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

  Inch by inch in the search, Huang Pingxi gradually moved forward for hundreds of meters, but there was no harvest.

  But at this moment, even he didn't notice that a strange and mysterious thought, containing some spiritual energy, directly came from below and wrapped around him.

  It's said that this divine thought is strange and unusual, precisely because that one strand of divine thought was originally within Huang Ping's vast divine thoughts, yet he hadn't detected it in the slightest.

  Even that divine thought is weak and pitiful compared to him.

  Because it is completely integrated with the surrounding environment and fully concealed in the environment, at first glance, there is no difference at all.

  This is the might of the Tian Xuan level martial skill!

  Previously, when Xu Yu was nourishing his energy in the room, the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment also flowed slowly into his body. Even if it were Qing Zhongnian, who had already reached the peak of the mid-term foundation-building period as the current master of Liuyangmen, he would not have noticed his presence, let alone Huang Pingxi, who was only a foundation-building pre-period cultivator like Ji Youhui.

  Just then, that wisp of divine thought, like the evil god's tentacle, silently pounced on the protective shield outside Huang Pingxi's body.

  Xia Yu suddenly felt a thrill and issued a fusion command.

  And in the air nearly a hundred meters away, Huang Pingxi, who had been gloomy-faced, suddenly froze because he discovered that his defensive artifact was suddenly showing signs of overheating.

  "Delicious!"

  After this trend emerged, it quickly became apparent that Huang Pingxi was startled and thought he had been attacked. Before he could react further, the defensive artifact he wore on his chest suddenly began to upgrade its quality.

  "Ah!!"

  Huang Pingxi was stunned, upgrading quality? His defensive artifact actually started upgrading its quality?

  In an instant, he couldn't even continue searching for Xu Yu anymore, and became thoroughly overjoyed. What a joke, even if he continued searching, there was no guarantee of success. But now, his low-grade defensive artifact had actually transformed into a mid-grade one, which was a solid fact.

  What can be more tempting for a cultivator than a high-grade treasure?

  Even with the surprise, a huge doubt instantly filled Huang Pingxi's mind. After all, who doesn't know the benefits of high-grade magic treasures? But wanting to obtain high-grade magic treasures is equally frustrating. Now his magic treasure had inexplicably started to transform?

  This is also too weird.

  "What's going on? Out of the blue, I've encountered such great luck? Is it because my character is too good?" Ling Kong floated in mid-air, and Huang Pingxi's heart suddenly gave rise to many thoughts.

  But just then, he changed his face again, realizing that with the upgrade of the artifact, his control over it had also weakened slightly.

  However, Huang Pingxi's color change soon became clear again. He also understood the way of refining equipment to some extent. Unless he was refining a magic treasure himself, otherwise, with the evolution of the magic treasure, the divine thought and control power he had left on it before would definitely be weakened.

  But this weakening, as long as he refines it once again, will allow him to regain control, and for him, it's simply a matter of course.

  So Huang Pingxi was thoroughly overjoyed again.

  "Could it be that there's a super treasure nearby? Something that can proactively enhance the quality of my artifact? If so, that would be absolutely wonderful!!" After thinking again, Huang Pingxi suddenly turned around, looked left and right, and released a vast divine sense, pouncing on all sides.

  If there really is such a stunning treasure nearby, it would be best if no other monks find out about it.

  Although several people are from the same school, there is still competition. It's best if this treasure can be obtained by him alone.

  As he explored, after finding the other four people, two of whom were far away, but the other two were just a few hundred meters to his side, Huang Pingxi's expression changed again, and he quietly began to descend, as if sneaking around like a thief.

  There were two people on either side of him, and he had to be extremely careful not to startle them, or the super treasure below would absolutely not be his alone.

  Just as he was falling, the flying sword under his feet and the storage ring also suddenly burst out with a warm layer, showing a trend of upgrading quality.

  This discovery thoroughly excited him.

  "Oh heavens!! There really is a super treasure here! This distance has only just gotten closer, and all the magical tools on me have actually shown signs of improvement? Although this trend is very slow, it's absolutely real!!"

  He didn't dare to imagine, if he really got that treasure, his several pieces of magic weapons would be upgraded again, how terrifying would it be? Could they directly upgrade to top-grade magic weapons or even spiritual equipment?

  And what could be such a terrifying treasure? A precious artifact? It's probably not even the lowest grade of precious artifacts. But you have to know, precious artifacts, even if they're low-grade, are the crème de la crème of the entire cultivation world, and only those with the highest qualifications can possess them.

  If he could get such a treasure, his future would be unimaginably bright.

  So tempting, it was really impossible for Huang Pingxi to resist.

  As the importance of the treasure below became clearer, his actions also became more cautious and careful. Even the three artifacts that had always been out of control were not dared to be re-smelted.

  After all, when refining, true fire must be used, and even the slightest movement could startle the other two.

  Before these three artifacts become completely ownerless, they must be brought down to the ground. Amidst a slight tremble, Huang Pingxi almost fainted from happiness.

  However, he still used his divine sense to thoroughly search for the situation below before descending.

  Without noticing anything out of the ordinary, he suddenly descended into a dark alley.

  If this were in the Immortal Realm, what a treacherous mountain and dangerous land it would be, to discover such a precious aura, he would never be so careless. But here is the mortal world, where even ordinary people can live safely and stably, what danger could there be? This must be a treasure that has been left behind for many years, and there's no danger, otherwise how could thousands of ordinary people live nearby?

  Perhaps the only danger nearby was Xuyu, who was in the middle of his cultivation, but with his opponent's skills, he absolutely did not think that the other party could deceive his search, so he would be so unscrupulously descending.

  It was also at Huang Pingxi that he thoroughly trampled on the ground, and the three magical instruments on his body, the flying sword, the storage ring, including the defensive magical instrument, all transformed into mid-grade magical instruments with a "poof".

  In an instant, Huang Pingxi was so excited that tears filled his face.

  What is happiness? Isn't it that he has been pursuing for half his life, only to have one mediocre magic tool, but now, suddenly, he has stumbled upon such great luck, three inferior magic tools, inexplicably transforming into a medium-grade one, and even discovering that one of them might be a precious treasure, a super-heavy treasure, appearing before him? Can he just pick it up at will?

  "It's here!! That super treasure must be underground!!"

  A thrill in both eyes, Huang Pingxi's mind had just flashed a thread of happy tremble, a dark gust of wind, with a sudden sound, rose from the darkness behind, bringing a low and mournful whistle, flashing by in the dead alley.

  Huang Pingxi's body was slightly trembling, and then suddenly stiffened, followed by a straight fall to the ground.

  At the moment when the other party fell, Xu Yu suddenly appeared there, and with a single move, he supported the other party's body and gently put him on the ground. After that, he practiced several times, and as he became more familiar with his own spiritual control, Xu Yu finally managed to put Huang Pingxi entirely into the storage ring, almost using all his strength.

  After doing all this, he suddenly let out a breath of relief, and with the help of Treading on Air Technique, he stepped along the edge, walking towards another place.

  The whole process, killing and robbing, destroying corpses and erasing traces, was done with utmost efficiency!
