X-Dragon Era

This Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood is not something seen by common people; it is the best type of wood for creating magic artifacts. If one prefers to use weapons, this wood is an exceptional choice for handles, long poles, and staffs among other types of weapons. The Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood is particularly extraordinary as it neither gets wet in water nor burns in fire. Moreover, it can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and exudes a faint fragrance. This fragrance is not ordinary, as it can calm the mind and awaken the senses, and cultivating in such an aroma largely prevents one from cultivation deviation. Furthermore, depending on the type of energy cultivated, the consequences of cultivation deviation vary: those cultivating the Ice Element might freeze into blocks of ice, those cultivating the Fire Series might burn to charcoal, and those cultivating the Wind Attribute might be dried by the wind. With the energy cultivated being different, the manners of death also differ. Generally speaking, cultivation deviation occurs due to shock or distractions in the mind. A moment's distraction, and the energy immediately spirals out of control, leading to cultivation deviation. However, for cultivators like Xin Yun, the risk of cultivation deviation is relatively low. They do not use Dragon Crystals and the energy within their bodies is hard-earned, exceptionally pure, and easily controlled, while cultivation deviation is mostly triggered by uncontrolled energy. Beyond these features, it is also incredibly tough. No matter how long it is left, it will not rot or attract insects. There are few insects that can bite into Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood, and for those that can, the wood is their bane, as its fragrance can kill various insects. Typically, only world-class tycoons have furniture made of Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood in their homes, to display their power and dignity, as well as unparalleled wealth. Yet unexpectedly, these five mice somehow got their hands on so much Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood! Upon inquiring, Xin Yun finally understood that... these five guys, while completing the tasks he set for them, were not exactly honest along the way, often wandering around and once stumbled into a faction's treasure hoard, where they not only stole a tremendous amount of gold and silver but also casually loaded these woods. Although they did not realize the preciousness of the wood, they knew that anything stored in such a high-level treasury had to be valuable; no one would keep junk there. As for where exactly they stole them from, they couldn't remember. Xin Yun surmised that it must have been stolen from a city famous for producing Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood. To control the price, these have been accumulated for many years; now all that had ended up benefiting him. Looking at the mountainous pile of Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood, Xin Yun made a rough estimate. It was enough to build a sizable wooden villa, and once completed... such a villa would essentially be like a finished magic artifact in itself, incredibly tough. Destroying it would be extremely difficult. After all... the Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood is exceedingly robust, so even a sharp sword would have difficulty leaving a scratch! What's most invaluable is that the Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood can automatically absorb spiritual energy from the air to heal itself. Even if a cut is made, it can quickly recover, possessing a recovery ability that is almost to the point of being freakishly strong. Gazing at the mountain of Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood, Xin Yun hesitated, deeply contemplative for a while. Then he sent a message again, asking the Five Rat Brothers to quickly send over some tents. No need for anything fancy, just something temporary to live in. This time they acted swiftly. The Five Rat Brothers promptly delivered ten tents. Master Xi Ming and his apprentices quickly set up all the tents, and the maids began preparing dinner using the cooking utensils and food that had just arrived. After a simple dinner, everyone had been busy all day and, on top of that, frightened, so they tidied up and went to rest early. However... Xin Yun and the other three young people couldn't afford to rest, and gathered around the fountain to start the meeting. Sitting atop a massive Spirit Stone, Xin Yun looked earnestly at the three companions scattered around and after a long pause, he spoke solemnly, "This incident seems to have blown up. If we don't come up with an appropriate strategy, we'll have trouble in the future." Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang guiltily lowered her head. She knew... that the reason for their current plight was all because of her. If she had been more assertive at the time, none of this would have happened. Fortunately, no one died in this turmoil. Otherwise, Yi Luo Xiang could never forgive herself. Keep in mind... whether Mother Lan or Master Xi Ming, neither of them was very powerful. They would have had difficulty surviving such an attack. Just think, if Mother Lan had died, how could she face Ming Xuan? Every time Yi Luo Xiang thought about the recent events, she was terrified. If Xin Yun hadn't appeared later and killed the diamond-ranked powerhouse, what would have become of today's situation? Yan Qingying's response was quite normal—she was very indignant. In her view, being attacked at home like that was an outright insult. If they didn't restore their reputation quickly, how could they ever stand in this world! Having been trained by the Demon Dragon Clan from a young age, Yan Qingying valued collective honor more than life itself. She believed it was better to lose life than to lose face. Being bullied this way if they didn't retaliate soon, they might as well go back to farming altogether.
