The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 851

Chapter 851: Chapter 848: Little Tricks Chapter 851: Chapter 848: Little Tricks “What a greedy little bear demon! Truly thinks I am someone he can easily bully,” Shen Luo huffed coldly in his heart.

The Innate Treasure-refining Technique is profoundly mystical, and Nie Caizhu is not only his cousin but also his fiancee, so imparting the method to her is unproblematic, but this Black Bear Demon is neither kin nor kith to him, and he has no desire to so readily divulge the secrets of the technique.

Originally, if everyone were in the same boat, sharing the Innate Treasure-refining Technique with the Black Bear Demon wouldn't matter much, but the Little Bear Monster's sarcastic demeanor had suddenly made him feel quite displeased.

After all, Liu Qing and that Wei Qing's objective was Mount Putuo, which had little to do with him, Shen Luo.

“Excellency Little Bear Monster, I forgot for a moment there. The Purple Gold Bell should return to its rightful owner, and with the Protector's profound cultivation level, certainly, he can break this blue shield,” Shen Luo slapped his forehead and handed the Purple Gold Bell over to the Black Bear Demon.

Bai Xiaotian, being unaware of the situation between Shen Luo and the Little Bear Monster, showed a delighted expression upon seeing Shen Luo hand over the Purple Gold Bell.

With Shen Luo's cultivation level, the Purple Gold Bell was incredibly powerful, and surely, with the Black Bear Demon wielding it, the blue shield would be broken.

Nie Caizhu's lips moved slightly as though she wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Shen Luo.

“I have no intention of seizing this treasure; it's just that to break this shield, the full power of the Purple Gold Bell must be unleashed. Please, Friend Shen, do not take it to heart,” the Black Bear Demon didn't expect Shen Luo to give up the Purple Gold Bell so easily and, without standing on ceremony, took it and explained.

“Of course not,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

Seeing this, the Black Bear Demon nodded in satisfaction and immediately began to cast spells to refine the Purple Gold Bell.

“Father, you don't understand, to activate this Purple Gold Bell, it requires either the exclusive refining technique of the Guanyin Ancestor Master or the rumored Innate Treasure-refining Technique. Ordinary refining methods are useless,” the Little Bear Monster said, casting a meaningful glance at Shen Luo.

“Is that so? Miss Nie, do you know the Ancestor Master's exclusive artifact refining secret?” The Black Bear Demon was taken aback and asked Nie Caizhu, looking at her.

He had also heard of the exclusive artifact refining secret technique of the Guanyin Ancestor Master, rumored to be a secret of the Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain, extremely profound and mystical. Among those from Mount Putuo, only Master Guan Yue was privy to it, and among the present company, only Nie Caizhu, being a direct disciple of the sect leader, might know the technique.

And since Shen Luo could freely activate the Purple Gold Bell, it naturally must have been taught by Nie Caizhu.

“Father, you've misunderstood me. Brother Nie does not know the secret technique of the Ancestor Master. The reason she and Brother Shen can activate the Yangliu Branch and the Purple Gold Bell is that Brother Shen knows the Innate Treasure-refining Technique,” the Little Bear Monster hurriedly spoke up when he saw that the Black Bear Demon had misunderstood.

“What! Friend Shen knows the Innate Treasure-refining Technique!” The Black Bear Demon exclaimed, his eyes suddenly turning towards Shen Luo.

“I know a thing or two, but this technique is a secret passed down in the Shen Family, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to teach it to others. I ask for the Protector's understanding,” Shen Luo glanced at the Little Bear Monster, said indifferently, and then stepped aside to stand.

The Black Bear Demon, seeing Shen Luo's demeanor and then recalling the Little Bear Monster's attitude towards him, furrowed his brow.

“What exactly is going on between you and this Shen Luo?” He grabbed the Little Bear Monster and his voice echoed in the Little Bear Monster's mind.

Although the prohibitions in the area prevented Divine Sense from leaving the body, the Black Bear Demon, who had guarded the Purple Bamboo Forest for many years, had other means to transmit messages through Divine Sense.

“Father, here's what happened…” The little bear monster felt secretly pleased with himself as he recounted the story of Shen Luo's possession of the Innate Treasure-refining Technique and their personal grievances.

“Father, you must take vengeance for me and seize his Innate Treasure-refining Technique!” the little bear monster implored at the end.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain assaulted the cheeks of his soul's form within his mind, as a force struck him fiercely across the face, rendering him momentarily speechless from the pain.

“Utterly foolish!” A glowing silhouette resembling the Black Bear Demon flashed inside the little bear monster's mind and sternly chastised him with a cold voice.

“Father…” The little bear monster touched his cheek with his soul's form, an expression of panic spreading across his face.

“You already bear a grudge against Shen Luo, why would you be so brazen in demanding the Innate Treasure-refining Technique? Such shallow and crude tactics lack any strategy, they will only lead to Shen Luo's refusal to surrender the technique!” The Black Bear Demon berated his soul's form with a look of frustrated disappointment.

“Father, Shen Luo has already handed over the Purple Gold Bell, he's simply no match for you. If you command him to relinquish the Innate Treasure-refining Technique, how could he dare refuse? Moreover, given the dire situation, even for the sake of his own life, he would not be stingy with a mere artifact-refining secret,” the little bear monster said, trying to justify himself.

“Bullshit! Who do you think you're fooling with that little trick of yours! We are all in the same boat right now. If he must think of his own life, don't we have to as well? What you're pressing right now is not him, but me!” the Black Bear Demon exclaimed angrily.

At those words, the little bear monster stood frozen and speechless.

“I thought that after so many years of cultivating your nature here, you might have shown some improvement. To think you are still so foolish! When things are settled here, you can continue to stay,” the Black Bear Demon said, having vented his anger. He then gave the little bear monster a disdainful glance before his figure flickered away and vanished.

The little bear monster's face suddenly turned ashen.

“Friend Shen, though your Innate Treasure-refining Technique should not be casually shared, everyone is now trapped inside the Chaoyin Cave, unable to leave. If the other party completes their spell, we may all perish here. In desperate times, it's prudent to flex the rules. Of course, I won't ask for your treasure-refining secret for nothing. I am knowledgeable in several secret techniques, and I'm willing to exchange these three secret methods with you, Daoist friend,” the Black Bear Demon approached Shen Luo and said with a ingratiating smile.

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and the void in front of him flashed with white light, revealing three white jade boxes, each inscribed with the name of a secret technique: Xuanming Cold Technique, Body Shifting and Shadow Changing, Palm Thunder.

“This Xuanming Cold Technique is a frigid secret technique. It is a divine power I conceived while listening to the Bodhisattva's teachings. When refined to a profound realm, it can freeze everything. It harmonizes with your Water-type Technique. The Teleportation and Transfiguration Technique is an extremely profound skill of movement; observing your remarkable agility, this technique will surely enhance it further. Lastly, the Palm Thunder is a special Thunder Technique, not only powerful but also possessing a sealing effect, particularly adept at sealing others' Magical Treasures. These two secret techniques, which I chanced upon years ago, are certainly more exquisite than the Xuanming Cold Technique,” explained the Black Bear Demon patiently.

“If the Protector goes to such lengths, it would be utterly inconsiderate of me to refuse…” Shen Luo glanced at the three jade boxes and sighed before responding.

The Black Bear Demon's face instantly brightened with joy.

“Protector Elder, I'm afraid that won't be possible,” Nie Caizhu suddenly interjected.

Everyone's expression shifted upon hearing this.

“Brother Nie, although Shen Luo is your cousin, don't forget you are a disciple of Mount Putuo!” The little bear monster thought Nie Caizhu was trying to protect Shen Luo and snapped at her.

“Silence! Miss Nie is not that type of person!” the Black Bear Demon rebuked loudly.

The little bear monster curled his lip but did not dare to say anything more.
