Chapter 1031: The Influence of a Versatile Support Specialist
Chapter 1031: The Influence of a Versatile Support Specialist
"Are you saying my other support talents will be exposed?"
Upon hearing Jianzhen Ren's words, Lu Xuan maintained a calm demeanor, but his heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Jianzhen Ren had only casually mentioned it and was already leaving, otherwise, he might have noticed something amiss.
"In terms of Foundation Pills, Purifying Pills, and other low-grade pills, my alchemy skills are already on par with my talisman crafting. As for armament forging and formation dao, they far surpass the average, and if I were to participate in competitions, I'd still achieve at least a B-grade rating."
"However, since I've already fully showcased my skills in spirit plants, spirit brews, and talismans, there's no need to flaunt further."
Lu Xuan's three A-grade ratings had already made him famous within the Sword Sect, and exposing more talents would truly make him seem like a freak.
Giving up the cultivation of divine abilities and secret techniques, coupled with his natural talents, allowed him to achieve such dazzling results in three cultivation arts, which could still be explained by ordinary means.
But if he were to reveal more, it might very well attract unnecessary trouble.
Lu Xuan sought peace and quiet; he only wanted a peaceful environment for his farming. The three A-grade ratings were merely to demonstrate his value and gain access to more spirit seeds and related treasures.
"Of course, if there's something irresistible that tempts me later, it wouldn't hurt to show off a little."
He added silently in his heart.
"Junior Master Lu, you've completed all the competitions you signed up for. Do you want to go and watch the disciples of the Nine Sword Peaks compete?"
"It should be nearing the climax now, the most exciting part."
Ye Lingkong remembered Lu Xuan's interest in the Sword Peak disciples' duels and brought it up proactively.
"Sure, I'll go and witness the sword arts and divine abilities of my fellow sect members."
Lu Xuan's expression became eager.
"I'll accompany you, Junior Master. You haven't been in the Sword Sect for long, so you might not be familiar with many sword arts and divine abilities. I can explain them to you."
Ye Lingkong said with a smile.
This was the time when Lu Xuan's reputation was rising, and Ye Lingkong trusted him, but he was wary of the other eight Sword Peaks' disciples.
After all, where could they find such a versatile support specialist?
...
Deep within the Sword Palace, a hidden cave heaven.
Two silver-white Jiao Dragons roared as they flew by, and the rumbling sword energy reverberated throughout the cave heaven.
Jianzhen Ren's figure appeared, and he surveyed the surroundings with a smile.
"Everyone, I'm late."
"Since Jianzhen Ren didn't come for the previous two times, why are you here so early this time, waiting for the final rankings?"
A middle-aged man in a purple Daoist robe exuded an air of authority, his eyes sharp as lightning. Purple qi surrounded him, and he was none other than the Purple Heaven Sword Master among the Nine Sword Masters.
"He must think there's a chance to move up the rankings."
An old man, leaning back on a wooden chair, fanned himself with a palm fan. His goatee shook as he spoke with a smile.
The old man, dressed in coarse cloth, looked ordinary, but he exuded a sense of returning to simplicity. He was the Tranquil Void Sword Master, the most powerful cultivator among those present.
His Tranquil Void Sword Peak had consecutively won the Sword Peak Grand Competition seven times.
"Only the Tranquil Void Sword Master understands me."
Jianzhen Ren ignored the teasing in the Tranquil Void Sword Master's words and sat down casually.
"Years ago, Jianzhen Peak submitted two improved spirit plants: a Fourth Rank Thousand Thunder Swordgrass and a Fourth Rank Minor Mystic Sword Gourd. Especially the sword gourd, which is quite mysterious. It cultivates a strand of Profound Sword Qi, which is quite useful for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation disciples of the Sword Sect."
"It's a rare achievement in the past three decades."
A refined young man smiled and spoke. His fingers drew in the air, and faint spiritual light flickered, seemingly containing profound principles upon closer inspection.
He was the Heavenly Scroll Sword Master, and his personal disciple had achieved the only Top Grade rating in the talisman crafting competition.
"In addition to that, a Talisman Dao genius emerged from within the True Sword Peak. During the previous Symbol Crafting Competition, he suppressed many Heavenly Scroll Sword Peak disciples and achieved a Middle Grade A rating."
The Heavenly Scroll Sword Peak spoke up slowly.
"Not only that, but that disciple also defeated Wan He in the Spirit Plant Competition, securing the only Superior Grade A rating."
A faint glow emerged from the surrounding spirit plants and spirit beasts, coalescing into a deep green figure.
It was none other than the Clear Subtlety Sword Master.
"Jianzhen Ren, where did you find such a talented logistics genius?"
The Purple Heaven Sword Master asked in a solemn tone.
In previous Sword Peak Grand Competitions, the Purple Heaven Sword Peak had only been slightly stronger than the True Sword Peak, often ranking eighth. Occasionally, it would rise in the rankings, only to return to its original position in the next competition.
"It was during the last Wanling Assembly of the Liuyang Dao Sect. Senior Brother Purple Heaven, you were busy, so I went in your place."
"By chance, I discovered a branch disciple who had drifted there, so I brought him back."
A smile appeared on Jianzhen Ren's face.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you all, Senior Brothers. The improved Thousand Thunder Swordgrass, the Minor Mystic Sword Gourd, and the Spirit Brew all achieved Superior Grade ratings in the Spirit Plant, Spirit Brew, and Symbol Crafting competitions, and it was all the work of the same person."
The smile on his face faded.
"What kind of luck did he have?"
The Purple Heaven Sword Master coldly snorted, closed his eyes to rest, and the dense purple aura around him revealed that his inner thoughts were not as calm as his outward appearance.
"With such a versatile talent in logistics, you've got yourself a good disciple, Jianzhen Ren. Name your price!"
The Tranquil Void Sword Master, who had been comfortably lying down, stood up and spoke.
"Old man of the Void Penetrating Sword Peak, your peak has monopolized the first place many times. If you take my treasure away, I won't hold back from turning against you."
Jianzhen Ren said with a solemn expression.
"Alright, the Sword Disciple has arrived."
A robust cultivator spoke up.
Before he finished speaking, a three-foot-tall toddler appeared out of thin air.
The toddler had a small sword bun, and her delicate and adorable appearance made it hard for others not to feel a sense of affection.
However, the nine Sword Masters dared not be the slightest bit disrespectful.
This toddler had an extraordinary background, as she was the Sword Spirit nurtured by the Cave Profound Sword Sect's Postnatal Spiritual Treasure. Her strength was formidable, and even Sword Masters might not be able to defeat her.
"Now, I will announce the rankings of the Sword Peak Grand Competition."
The Sword Disciple's childish voice echoed through this Cave Heaven.
"First place, Void Penetrating Sword Peak."
The Void Penetrating Sword Master waved his fan, looking relaxed and content.
The other eight showed no reaction, as they had already anticipated this outcome.
"Second place, Hundred Trades Sword Peak."
Everyone looked towards the robust cultivator.
The cultivator held a giant sword in his arms, deep in thought.
The rankings continued to be announced.
"Sixth place, Heavenly Scroll Sword Peak."
The otherworldly youth secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the True Sword Peak had come with great momentum, and the fact that the Heavenly Scroll Sword Peak had improved by one rank was already very satisfying for him.
Each rank represented a significant amount of resources, and every Sword Peak had given their all to secure a higher position.
"Seventh place, True Sword Peak."
The Sword Disciple couldn't help but look up at Jianzhen Ren.
The True Sword Peak had consistently maintained its ranking in the past, and this time, not only did it break through, but it also jumped two ranks.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Jianzhen Ren has found a lucky star!"
"One person can be worth a hundred or a thousand; I really want to poach him."
The other eight Sword Masters offered their congratulations to Jianzhen Ren.
"Thank you, thank you. Finally, we've moved up a bit."
"I hope that in the next Sword Peak Grand Competition, we can see the view from above."
Jianzhen Ren laughed heartily, and his words, falling on the ears of the Sword Masters in the last two ranks, were unbearably grating.
