Chapter 314: Chapter 289: The Generous Sect Leader of Mount Shu (4K)_2
“I am the chief alchemist of Star Pavilion, and it’s regrettable that my skills are not refined enough. At most, I can only create tenth-tier immortal pills. As for the eleventh-tier immortal pills, in the million years of our Star Pavilion, only two alchemists have been able to produce them… Otherwise, the Pavilion Master would not have to worry about injuries to the dantian…”
An elder with white hair, leaning on a walking stick, arrived. His daoist robe bore the pattern of a Bagua furnace, identifying him as the chief alchemist of Star Pavilion, with an astonishing cultivation of the sixth level in the Unity Realm.
Yet, even with his abilities, he could not craft eleventh-tier immortal pills.
Lady Tang’s gaze was somber. With Tang Wansan’s pride, he would never resign himself to being mediocre.
At that moment, a Star Pavilion disciple came in to report, “The Sect Leader of Mount Shu, along with his disciple Shen Xiaoyao, requests an audience, expressing the desire to assess the Pavilion Master’s injuries.”
“What could he possibly do?”
If the chief alchemist of Star Pavilion couldn’t create eleventh-tier immortal pills and was helpless against Tang Wansan’s injuries, he did not believe Lu Changsheng would have a solution after learning about the injuries.
“Bring him in.”
After considering for a moment, Lady Tang decided that, regardless of whether Lu Changsheng had a solution or not, Shen Xiaoyao was the fiancé designated by Tang Wansan, and Lu Changsheng was Xiaoyao’s master. Ultimately, she had to meet him.
Soon, Lu Changsheng and Shen Xiaoyao, led by a Star Pavilion disciple, arrived at the upper levels of the Star Pavilion.
Seeing Tang Ling’er’s eyes red and her unceasing tears, Shen Xiaoyao’s heart ached. “Ling’er, I will certainly avenge your father.”
“Hmm, once we reach great accomplishment in the Unity Realm, we’ll go and settle the score with the Xuanyin Elder, eye for an eye.”
Tang Ling’er wiped away her tears, feeling much better because of Shen Xiaoyao’s words.
“Cough cough, Lady Tang, I have some understanding of medicine. May I be allowed to examine Pavilion Master Tang’s injuries? Perhaps I can offer the right remedy.”
Lu Changsheng had brought quite a few immortal pills, so Tang Wansan’s injuries might not be much of an issue.
Lady Tang’s eyes brightened, “Sect Master Lu has an exceptional cultivation, and you’re knowledgeable in medicine as well?”
The chief alchemist said from the side, “Sect Master Lu, I have already examined our Pavilion Master’s injuries, and only an eleventh-tier immortal pill like the Nine Yang Revival Pill can heal them. Even if you’re proficient in medicine, without such pills, not even a divine healer could do anything.”
Nine Yang Revival Pill?
Lu Changsheng actually did possess such a high-tier immortal pill.
Lu Changsheng flipped his palm, and a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd appeared in his hand, “Is this the kind of elixir the Elder is referring to?”
Everyone from Star Pavilion was utterly shocked.
Could it be that Lu Changsheng truly had such high-tier immortal pills?
It should be noted that even the chief alchemist of Star Pavilion could only produce tenth-tier immortal pills.
With skepticism and hope, the chief alchemist received the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd, removed the stopper, and a wave of warmth filled the hall, like basking in a spring breeze.
“This, this is truly a Nine Yang Revival Pill! Inconceivable, there’s actually another place in the world that possesses this supreme grade immortal pill!”
The chief alchemist’s pupils dilated, he took a deep breath, and when he looked at Lu Changsheng again, his eyes could no longer harbor any disregard. Instead, he held Lu Changsheng in extremely high regard.
Lu Changsheng actually possessed a long-lost immortal pill!
“Sect Master Lu, what is the value of this pill? Regardless of the cost, our Star Pavilion is willing to discuss it.”
Lady Tang, who had lost all hope, felt that if the Nine Yang Revival Pill could heal her husband’s injuries, then Star Pavilion was prepared to pay a tremendous price, no matter what.
“My disciple is about to marry Miss Tang, and we at Mount Shu must surely provide a wedding gift. Consider this immortal pill as our gift from Mount Shu. As long as Star Pavilion treats my disciple kindly in the future, that will be enough.”
Lu Changsheng casually gave away the eleventh-tier immortal pill.
An eleventh-tier immortal pill didn’t mean much to Lu Changsheng.
As long as he continued teaching his disciples, the number of eleventh-tier immortal pills would only increase.
For Star Pavilion, however, the eleventh-tier immortal pill was the highest-grade elixir they could currently obtain.
An eleventh-tier immortal pill as a dowry?
It was indeed excessively extravagant!
The members of Star Pavilion were all stunned.
No one expected the Sect Leader of Mount Shu to be so generous.
Even among the grand sects of Zhong Zhou during alliance marriages, they would not present an eleventh-tier immortal pill.
Lady Tang was deeply moved, originally believing that it was Shen Xiaoyao who was reaching high, only to find that it was her daughter who was marrying up.
“This kindness, our Star Pavilion will surely remember, I won’t treat my son-in-law unfairly.”
Lady Tang was a Unity Realm powerhouse, a peerless genius of her generation when she was young, just like Tang Ling’er, not one to be sentimental.
The Eleventh Grade Immortal Pill, Nine Yang Revival Pill, could heal Tang Wansan’s injuries, so Lady Tang graciously accepted it. As for the favor owed, it could be repaid to Shen Xiaoyao in the future.
Lady Tang administered the Nine Yang Revival Pill to Tang Wansan and then circulated her cultivation technique to help Tang Wansan refine the medicine’s power and repair his injuries.
The people of the Star Pavilion held their breath in concentration, anxiously waiting for the final result.
“It worked!”
Surprise and joy flickered in Lady Tang’s eyes.
The Nine Yang Revival Pill lived up to its reputation as an Eleventh Grade Immortal Pill, capable of repairing even the Dantian of a peak Unity Realm powerhouse.
“Cough cough…”
Tang Wansan awoke, roughly aware of what had happened.
If it were not for Lu Changsheng’s gift of the Nine Yang Revival Pill, Tang Wansan’s cultivation level might have dropped, possibly never returning to its current state in his lifetime.
“I, Tang Wansan, owe you a favor. The Xuanyin Elder is far from an ordinary cultivator, you and your little lover must be cautious when facing him. The Xuanyin Elder seems to bear you animosity; if you lose to him, he’s likely not just going to cripple your cultivation but may kill you.”
Tang Wansan’s expression was grave.
Having personally clashed with the Xuanyin Elder, he knew of the elder’s frightfulness.
Most likely, the Xuanyin Elder still feared the power of the Star Pavilion and did not dare to kill Tang Wansan, but if the opponent were Lu Changsheng, the outcome might be different.
“I will deal with him myself.”
Lu Changsheng did not have complete confidence in defeating the Xuanyin Elder, but he was not without strategies.
Up to now, Lu Changsheng had yet to exert his full strength.
He had never used the two Ultimate Treasures: the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus and the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
By merely using his own creation, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Sword Technique, Lu Changsheng had defeated Sun Jian from the Thousand Swords Manor.
Tang Wansan gazed at Lu Changsheng, and for some reason, the aura Lu Changsheng emitted was similar to that of the Xuanyin Elder; both resembled black holes, their exact cultivation level difficult to discern.
Tang Wansan massaged his temples with a headache.
In his era, too many powerful figures emerged. He, the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, had not even entered the top four.
Tang Wansan was immensely frustrated.
“Xiaoyao, it’s time for us to go back.”
Since Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er were not yet married, according to etiquette, Shen Xiaoyao could not stay in the Star Pavilion, so Lu Changsheng took Shen Xiaoyao and left.
After Lu Changsheng casually produced an Eleventh Grade Immortal Pill as a betrothal gift, everyone in the Star Pavilion started to treat Lu Changsheng and Shen Xiaoyao with profound respect, no longer underestimating Mount Shu.
With the Sect Leader of Mount Shu possessing the same strength as the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, and with Mount Shu being able to produce an Eleventh Grade Immortal Pill, the Star Pavilion had no reason to look down on Mount Shu.
There were seven days left before the ninth round of the competition, so Lu Changsheng continued to teach his disciples during this time, looking to see if the system would return something of good value.
However, the seven days of teaching returns did not yield anything Lu Changsheng was lacking.
The ninth round of the competition began, and the first match was between Lu Changsheng and Wu Yue.
Wu Yue’s style was upright and just, so Lu Changsheng was not worried that the opponent would try to harm him after winning.
With a flick of his fingers, the Demon-Suppressing Sword soared into the sky, its sword light reaching for tens of thousands of feet.
He intended to use Sacred Tier sword technique to battle Wu Yue’s Great Crushing Heaven Palm.
The Taiqing Heavenly Scripture’s cultivation technique circulated, and the Taiqing True Qi appeared, turning everything around into chaos.
Wu Yue’s cultivation technique was extremely domineering, her Imperial Qi of the Nine-Five manifesting as a semi-transparent Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, roaring through the Nine Heavens!
In that moment, Wu Yue was like an Empress descending upon the mortal world.
Wave after wave of terrifying golden qi surged forward, and Lu Changsheng’s black sword attire fluttered as he faced the Empress’s grace.
The Empress of Great Martial, Wu Yue, was definitely not inferior to the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion.
