Under Elder Gu's instructions, the steward of the Pill Pagoda soon returned with six elixirs and placed them in an exquisite jade bottle.
Handing the jade bottle to Lu Xuan, Elder Gu said, "Here are six Human-tier Grade Eight Soul Nourishing Elixirs. They have a miraculous effect on raising one's Soul Strength. If taken along with a Soul Strength training technique, the effect will be even better. Unfortunately, such a technique is extremely rare. At the very least, I don't know anyone in the Profound Ice Pavilion who has one."
Lu Xuan's heart moved. The Taiyi Origin Technique just so happened to have a set of Soul Tempering Techniques. That would be easy. He wondered how much these Soul Nourishing Elixirs could raise his Soul Strength. Breaking through to a three-star Soul Talisman Master should not be a problem.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was a little tempted, Elder Gu had no choice but to remind him again, "Don't take these six Soul Nourishing Elixirs all at once. Otherwise, if the medicinal effect is too strong, it will cause extreme pressure on your soul. Not only will it not be beneficial, but it will also cause great harm."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Elder Gu, don't worry. I understand."
Only then did Elder Gu let out a soft grunt of relief. Then, he took out twenty top-grade Yuan Stones from his storage ring and handed them to Lu Xuan. This was also the final reward for Lu Xuan for coming first in the disciple battle.
Lu Xuan casually received them. Twenty top-grade Yuan Stones was also a considerable amount of wealth. Even though he had obtained quite a lot from the Profound Ice Secret Realm, he would not dislike these things. As his strength increased, his need for Yuan Stones would also increase. Moreover, Lu Xuan was cultivating the Spirit, Body, and Soul at the same time, so his consumption was incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
After receiving all the rewards, Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger bid farewell to Elder Gu and returned to Yunxuan Hall hand in hand.
Yunxuan Hall was still cold and cheerless. Usually, aside from a few maids who came to clean the place, no one else would step foot inside. However, at this moment, Zhao Ying and Du Xiaomao were both waiting for Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger to return.
As soon as she saw Lu Xuan return, Du Xiaomao stood up with a smile and said to Lu Xuan, "Junior Brother Lu, Leng Qingqiu has already sent someone to deliver your spoils of war. These are two sets of High Grade Profound Level Martial Skills. This time, you've made a big profit."
As she spoke, Du Xiaomao handed over two jade slips.
Lu Xuan was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Leng Qingqiu's efficiency is really high, to be able to deliver it so quickly, I thought he wanted to renege on the debt."
Zhao Binger said: "Leng Qingqiu is a person who cares about his face the most. It's impossible for him to let you have something to use against him in this kind of matter. Moreover, these two sets of martial skills are not too precious to him. Losing to you is losing."
"So what if he cares about his face? Didn't he still lose to me? Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant in the future. He actually dares to disrespect you. He must be tired of living." Lu Xuan looked at Zhao Binger with a smile and said.
Zhao Binger glared at him and said: "Don't be arrogant. Although your strength is not bad and you have many trump cards, Leng Qingqiu's strength is also there. Defeating Leng Qingqiu who has suppressed his strength is nothing. If it was a real battle, who would be stupid enough to suppress their strength to fight with you?"
Lu Xuan also calmed down a little and nodded his head in agreement. This was a spar, so Leng Qingqiu suppressed his strength to fight with him. If it was a real fight, perhaps even ten Lu Xuan would not be enough to kill Leng Qingqiu.
However, he still did not want Leng Qingqiu to be too comfortable. Towards this kind of person who was hypocritical on the surface, but extremely vicious in his heart, Lu Xuan was filled with disgust. Rolling his eyes, Lu Xuan looked at Zhao Ying and said: "Master, didn't Nangong Shuo want me to hand over the protective martial skill method? What do you think will happen if I publicly offer these two sets of martial skills to the sect and place them in the Martial Skill Pavilion? "
Zhao Ying was stunned. She did not expect that this fellow, Lu Xuan, could really think of such a disgusting method. Although the Icy Words Sword Art and the Melody of Ten Thousand Swords could not be considered as Nangong Shuo's true unique martial skills, they were still core inheritances. If Lu Xuan made them public like this, then almost all the direct disciples would be able to learn them.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Ying still shook her head and said: "There is no need to do this kind of thing that harms others without benefiting oneself. It is a little too much, but it is not a problem for you guys to observe and learn."
Zhao Ying knew what Lu Xuan was thinking, but she did not want Lu Xuan to make too many enemies. Moreover, not making the martial skills public might not necessarily cause trouble for Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu. If Lu Xuan did not make the martial skills public, Wan Jianfei would only resent Leng Qingqiu and would not implicate Lu Xuan. However, if Lu Xuan made the martial skills public, Wan Jianfei would probably transfer his hatred for Leng Qingqiu to Lu Xuan. This would instead help Leng Qingqiu. As Lu Xuan's master, Zhao Ying saw many things more clearly and further than Lu Xuan.
"That's right, Lu Xuan, you followed Elder Gu to choose a weapon. Did you pick one that you like?" Zhao Ying suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Disciple's luck is not bad. I just happened to pick a weapon that suits me. I think this weapon is second to none in the Divine Armament Building." Lu Xuan took out the Masked Dust Sword in a rather happy manner and waved it a few times. The feeling of being able to use it as if it was his own arm made Lu Xuan feel very comfortable.
"Why does this sword feel so familiar?" Zhao Ying looked at the Masked Dust Sword in Lu Xuan's hand with some doubt. She felt that the sword's shape was somewhat familiar, but she also felt that she had never seen it before.
Zhao Bing`er reminded her: "Elder Gu said that this is a useless sword. He also said that master and the other elders have tried to use it before."
After hearing Zhao Bing`er's words, Zhao Ying immediately recognized the Masked Dust Sword. The Masked Dust Sword in Lu Xuan's hand was completely different from the Masked Dust Sword that was placed in the Divine Armament Building. It looked incomparably bright and did not seem to be covered in dust at all. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ying was unable to recognize it immediately.
Zhao Ying said in astonishment: "This sword cannot be used by pouring Yuan Power into it. Lu Xuan, why did you choose it? It's really a pity. "
"Elder Gu also said that, but for some reason, when I held this sword, I felt as if I could become one with it. Moreover, when I poured my Yuan Power into it, there was not the slightest obstruction." Lu Xuan explained. Then, he poured Taiyi Force into the sword. A faint sword light immediately bloomed, appearing very beautiful.
Looking at the sword light on the Masked Dust Sword, Zhao Ying was silent for a moment. Then, she said: "This sword actually has some extraordinary aspects. The previous pavilion masters and the elders have all studied it, including me. After a unanimous agreement, we believe that this sword is an ancient sword. Its forging method is completely different from our current forging methods. Moreover, the workmanship is extremely exquisite. It can be said that it far surpasses our current techniques. "
Zhao Ying's words made Lu Xuan's eyes brighten. He had originally planned to slowly study the Masked Dust Sword when he returned. He did not expect Zhao Ying and the others to have already studied it. Listening to her words would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.
"This sword is engraved with countless formations of various sizes, many of which we've never seen or heard of before. When we first sensed the many formations in the sword, we were all shocked. We never thought that such a small sword could have so many formations. If we can activate all of these formations, the power of the sword will be unimaginable. " Zhao Ying slowly described the results of their research on the Masked Dust Sword. Even Elder Gu did not know about these things. He only knew that it was an ancient sword, and also a useless one.
Hearing Zhao Ying's praise of the Masked Dust Sword, Lu Xuan was even more delighted. He had probably picked up a treasure this time. To others, it was useless, but in his hands, it had become a treasure.
"It's precisely because of this that all of us want to bring forth the might of this sword. But unfortunately, for countless years, no one has ever been able to activate it. When Origin Energy is poured into it, it's like a stone sinking into the ocean. Not to mention controlling the formations within it, it can't even bring forth its own strength. As time passed, this sword was completely defined as a useless sword. No matter how strong it is, it's useless if it can't be used."
Hearing Zhao Ying's words, Lu Xuan finally understood why they had always placed the Masked Dust Sword in the God Armament Tower despite knowing how strong it was. This was like looking at a treasure trove but not having the key to open it. With no other choice, they could only store the treasure trove.
"Master, since I can activate the Masked Dust Sword, does that mean that I can also activate the formations within it?" Lu Xuan could not help but ask. When he heard Zhao Ying praising the Masked Dust Sword to be so strong, it really made his heart itch. This was an undamaged sword. If he could completely unleash its power, it would probably be even stronger than the Mystic Ice Phoenix Blood Sword!
"I don't know about that. We are unable to control this sword, so naturally, we have no way of finding out the profoundness of the formations within. You will need to slowly ponder over it. However, since you have this opportunity, there is a high chance that you will be able to let it release its own brilliance. Masked Dust Sword. Hehe, this name is quite appropriate." Zhao Ying revealed a smile as she spoke.
Lu Xuan nodded silently. Masked Dust Sword, one day, I will be able to bring you to the sky!
You don't have to worry too much. After all, weapons are still external objects. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong. The reason I waited here for you guys was because I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you guys about the path of cultivation. In this personal disciples battle, you guys have seen and fought quite a few battles. I believe you guys have more or less comprehended something. Tell me, and I will help you guys clear up your doubts. " Zhao Ying stopped her discussion on the Masked Dust Sword and began to impart her comprehension of cultivation. Lu Xuan and the others also stopped thinking and focused on listening to Zhao Ying.
In terms of gains from the personal disciples battle, Lu Xuan was undoubtedly the greatest. Just the number of battles he had personally participated in alone had reached more than ten. Furthermore, he had successfully broken through to the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm during the battles. There were many new and old comprehensions added together. Naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask for guidance.
Although Du Xiaomao had only fought with Han Feng once, she had seriously watched every disciple's battle. In the past, she was just an ordinary disciple, so it was very difficult for her to see such battles between personal disciples. It was also very helpful to her improvement.
