Chapter 1280: Each to Their Own Strengths
Chapter 1280: Each to Their Own Strengths
"Master, Master, something big has happened!"
White Ape burst into Dong Manor with a panicked look, finding Lu Xuan tending to sword grass in the spirit fields.
"Rushing about like this, you’re embarrassing me."
"Settle down, settle down."
Lu Xuan laughed and scolded, then flashed to the entrance of Dong Manor.
"Senior Sister Han, Senior Brother Fu, it’s an honor to see you."
"Please forgive my spirit beast for its rudeness."
He clasped his hands and bowed to the two.
"I’ve heard much about you, Junior Brother. It’s a pleasure to finally meet."
The child-like Fu Long smiled, and Han Yufeng also smiled faintly, the frigid aura around her immediately easing.
Lu Xuan led the two into Dong Manor.
"Senior Sister Han, Senior Brother Fu, please try this Zhenjian Elixir I brewed myself."
He poured each of them a full cup of the elixir.
"Master, Master!"
Before they could savor the elixir, White Ape burst in again, his face filled with panic.
"Is this any way to behave?"
"Didn’t I tell you to calm down?"
Lu Xuan pretended to scold him.
"The former Chongxu Swordmaster has come to visit you!"
White Ape looked aggrieved and whispered.
"Senior Brother Lingxiao is here too?"
Though White Ape’s voice was low, it didn’t escape the two. Fu Long’s Zhenjian Elixir gently swayed, and his expression showed surprise.
"It seems the allure of the Gui He Elixir is even greater than we anticipated."
He sighed lightly.
Lingxiao was just a step away from the Transcendent stage, and both of them felt the pressure.
"Excuse me for a moment, Senior Brother and Sister."
Lu Xuan got up and apologized, then went out to greet them.
The allure of the Gui He Elixir was indeed extraordinary, for within half a day, more than a dozen Yuan Ying True Monarchs had assembled in the courtyard, each wielding immense power, with even the weakest among them having reached the Mid Yuan Ying stage. Nevertheless, most of the cultivators appeared distressed, utilizing secret techniques and treasures to prevent the loss of vitality, whereas only a few, endowed with strong wills, were able to face the situation with calm composure.
"Senior Brothers and Sisters, it’s a great honor to have you all here at Dong Manor."
"Let me be frank with you all, I do indeed possess a Grade 7 longevity Gui He Elixir, which can extend the life of even a Late Yuan Ying cultivator by a century."
As Lu Xuan spoke, a pure white elixir appeared before him, spinning and shimmering with the vivid image of a spirit crane, as if it could fly out at any moment.
"Indeed, it’s the Gui He Elixir!"
"Junior Brother Lu, what’s your price?"
The moment they saw the Gui He Elixir, everyone’s breathing quickened, and their eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Alright, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll inform you all of the details on how to exchange for the Gui He Elixir."
"I have a total of five Gui He Elixirs, and I plan to use them to benefit our fellow cultivators with limited lifespans. However, I don’t intend to sell them for spirit stones or sword seals. Instead, I prefer to exchange them for items."
"I’m sure you’ve heard that I’m obsessed with spirit plants and love collecting rare and precious spirit seeds."
"Thus, high-grade spirit seeds and matured spirit plants have the highest priority, followed by spirit beast embryos, spirit seed condensation methods, spirit plant treasures, and finally, mystic arts and treasure artifacts."
Lu Xuan explained slowly.
"I’ve set the exchange to take place in the main hall of Zhenjian Peak in ten days. It will be fair and transparent, and the exchanges will continue until all the elixirs are gone. If any of you are interested, I’ll be ready to welcome you."
"Given the importance of this matter, I can’t handle it alone, so I’ve invited Senior Brother Dan Lingzi to oversee the process."
To maximize his benefit, he intentionally left some time for everyone to prepare.
"Very well, we won’t disturb you further, Junior Brother Lu."
“Everyone will have to rely on their own abilities.”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the crowd reluctantly left.
Deep within the Sword Palace.
A silver-white pill suddenly appeared, followed by the figure of Dan Lingzi.
“Dan Lingzi requests an audience with Senior Brother Sword Child.”
As soon as he spoke, a child with a small sword bun appeared out of thin air.
This child was the Sword Spirit born from the innate spiritual treasure of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, possessing extraordinary strength and a transcendent status within the sect, second only to the few divine elders.
In a sense, it represented the will of the divine elders.
“What is it?”
The Sword Child had a delicate and adorable appearance, but his expression was extremely serious.
“It’s like this. Recently, an alchemical refinement master in the Pill Hall obtained a Grade 7 formula called the Gui He Elixir and successfully refined it.”
“Unfortunately, that junior brother is unwilling to offer it to the sect, which is a waste of its potential.”
“If the formula were to belong to the sect, the combined efforts of the alchemical refinement masters in the Pill Hall would certainly allow us to research and develop the Gui He Elixir to its fullest extent, maximizing its potential and further strengthening the sect.”
Dan Lingzi spoke with confidence, as if he were solely concerned for the sect’s welfare.
The Sword Child remained silent.
Just as Dan Lingzi was about to persuade him further, suddenly, accompanied by a spirited dragon roar, two silver jiaolongs appeared in the air and instantly arrived before the two of them.
“Dan Lingzi, I remember Junior Brother Lu has already refused to hand over that formula to the sect. Are you here to force Junior Brother Lu to change his mind through Senior Brother Sword Child?”
The figure of Chongxu Swordmaster appeared, his face grim as he sternly questioned.
The Sword Child turned his head to look at Dan Lingzi, his expression indifferent.
“Junior Brother Chongxu, you misunderstand. The Grade 7 formula in Junior Brother Lu’s hands is a waste. As fellow cultivators of the Sword Sect, we should contribute our strength to the sect.”
Dan Lingzi quickly explained, his reasons seemingly reasonable at first glance.
“What right do you have to judge the treasures of your fellow disciples?”
“You’ve cultivated for over a thousand years, yet your cultivation has stagnated. The Pill Hall has to expend a great deal of resources to maintain your life. I see your existence as a waste. Why don’t you offer all your treasures to the sect and contribute to its strength?”
Chongxu Swordmaster took a step forward, his tone aggressive, with a menacing jiaolong spirit forming behind him.
“Once you lead the way and offer your treasures, the other alchemical refinement masters will follow, and then I might consider persuading Junior Brother Lu to hand over the formula.”
Zhenjian Peak’s rapid rise in status over the past hundred years was largely due to Lu Xuan’s efforts, and he was not about to let his junior brother suffer any injustice.
“Chongxu, don’t push it too far!”
Dan Lingzi flew into a rage, spitting out a silver-white sword pill that emitted countless rays of light, flickering continuously.
“Do you want to spar with me?”
Chongxu sneered.
As one of the Nine Great Swordmasters, his cultivation, mystic arts, and treasures were far superior to Dan Lingzi’s, giving him ample confidence.
“You!”
Dan Lingzi’s expression faltered, and he calmed down considerably.
His lifespan was limited, and any injury sustained in a battle would bring him closer to death. More importantly, he had less than a thirty percent chance of defeating Chongxu.
“Enough, both of you, be quiet.”
The Sword Child spoke sternly.
“I understand the situation. We cannot violate the rules regarding the formula.”
“Since it belongs to Junior Brother Lu Xuan, he should be the one to decide its fate.”
“If I find out anyone harbors ill intentions and harms a fellow disciple, don’t blame me for being unforgiving.”
He made it clear, issuing a warning.
“Yes, Junior Brother will not act in such a manner.”
Dan Lingzi felt a chill and bowed his head.
