Chapter 1119 - 564: Testing the Blade
Of course, Chen Xuantian was unwilling. Even setting aside the dragon and the land of the Xiaoyao Sect, the resources he had swindled and schemed out of the Nangong Family could hardly be exchanged for merely seven magic treasures. Not to mention seven, even seventy or seven hundred would still be unsatisfactory.
However, the situation was beyond his control. Chen Xuantian also knew that even a character like Lingxu, who preferred to manipulate everything from behind the scenes, had gone out of his way to send a message, clearly indicating that summoning the Nanhua Immortal had greatly offended him. The fact that he hadn’t crushed the seven remnants with one palm was already the greatest mercy. It was time to stop while he was ahead.
So Chen Xuantian calmed himself and accepted the fact that he was ultimately just a weak and useless person. However, despite losing his cultivation and shortening his lifespan, he still retained his vision, knowledge, and calculation abilities. After wandering around the treasury, he quickly gathered seven magic treasures.
These seven treasures included a mask, a jade cicada, an Enlightenment Pill, a lotus seed, a piece of white lotus root, a lotus leaf, and a bottle of ginseng pills.
Hmm, there was no need to bother finding overly excellent items. Chen Xuantian understood that his fate wasn’t strong enough, the timing was off, and his opportunities were insufficient. Benefits far beyond his realm were often ungraspable and would end up being handed over to others. It was better to make up for what he lacked.
The mask was naturally for Li Yuanzhao. After all, even Chen Xuantian couldn’t figure out what wish she had made to end up looking like that. But since her left eye was troublesome, and he had spotted a mask that covered the left eye and resembled a Yin Yang Hook Jade as soon as he entered the treasury, one that even he couldn’t understand, it could only be said that it was destiny. Naturally, he had no reason not to take it.
As for the Soul-Residing Jade Cicada, it was also a magic treasure from the Mystic Sect, a funerary object meant to house souls and facilitate Reincarnation. It was specifically prepared for Xu Wushe. As Chen Xuantian had long said, this old fellow wanted to die for a long time and deserved it too. This Judge only regretted not dying in the Heavenly Prison and being executed along with everyone by the Immortal Palace, putting an end to it all.
Yet fate played him cruelly, forcing him to live on. So, over the years, he courted death, committed all sorts of evil, hoping someone would judge and execute him. Now, he finally got his wish and returned to the Heavenly Prison in his heart. Perhaps only an Immortal Soldier like Liu Lang could guard the Ghost Gate and end the Six Gates’ own grievances, giving him a clean and neat Soldier Disintegration.
The Three Talents and Five Flavors Enlightenment Pill was naturally for Pu Lao. This pill, made from the ancient Crane Temple formula, used Heavenly Soul Mushroom, Earth Yellow Essence, Immortal Cicada Robe as the Three Talents, and mixed Schisandra, lotus seed core, licorice, pepper, salt skin wood as the Five Flavors, used to enhance wisdom and open Spiritual Wisdom in children. Since she wanted to be human, she should be honest about it. Moreover, as long as she was in his hands, he would eventually have her mother too. No rush, take it slowly, cast a long line to catch a big toad.
As for the lotus, root, and leaf, they were essentially one. These were likely from the same Divinity Transformation Great Treasure Level lotus. However, the giant lotus’s value was too high. After redemption, only a lotus seed, a piece of white lotus root, and a lotus leaf were left, which Chen Xuantian took.
After all, according to his calculations, his life’s numerology was too poor, but the lotus seed could replenish essence, Liu Lang’s body was too Void, but stewing lotus root could nourish him. As for Chan Zi, he could eat anything; it didn’t matter to give him a leaf to chew on to absorb the treasure’s aura.
As for the Longevity Grass Yellow Ginseng Pill, it was naturally for Chen Xuantian himself. Mm, yes, the one from Heng Mountain. The first time taking it could extend his life by eighty-one years, subsequent pills providing ten years of power each; one Soldier Repelling Coin could be exchanged for nine of them. It was indeed quite humble and trashy.
Of course, Chen Xuantian was calculating as well, knowing his body better than anyone else. This one-in-a-million Dao Body had limited talent; even the best things could only be slowly digested. What couldn’t be digested had to be transformed into fat by Secret Technique otherwise, it would be wasted.
And now, severely injured and with damaged foundation, he couldn’t afford heavy nourishment in a year or half. The amount replenished would just leak away; taking one ginseng pill to maintain eighty-one years of lifespan was already the limit. It was enough to get by; there was no need to take anything too good and incur heavy karma.
Having casually assembled a batch of items, Chen Xuantian walked out of the treasury with a belly full of resentment, smiling as he gazed at the peaks of the Cloud Platform.
Has the cause and effect been settled...?
Ha, how could it be possible?
He remembered today’s hatred clearly. They robbed him of his Immortal Fate, cut off his Dao Foundation, and thought they could just settle it like that? Absolutely not!
It was all about who had the power and who made the rules, he accepted his weakness. After all, with Cloud Platform occupying his face, what could a Golden Core do but endure? But he wouldn’t need to endure for too long. Chen Xuantian was as clear as a Bright Mirror in his heart. No more than fifty years later, this Third Void would explode, and by then all these debts would have to be reclaimed from the Mystic Sect.
Hmph, he really didn’t believe it. They killed a six and a half thousand-year-old dragon without hesitation, was the Mystic Sect really that formidable? If they really pushed him, he’d summon Nanhua every day, killing from top to bottom according to the nine major sects, breaking mountains, felling temples, and razing the Hu Temple one by one. By then, they’d revisit it carefully to calculate clearly what causes were sown today, and what effects they bore.
