In midair, a miraculous medicine floated in midair. It was shining brightly and its aroma filled the air.
This made the man in grey smile. He was ecstatic.
The man was regretful.
Before, he was thankful that Ling Xian didn't choose him. Now, his intestines were turning green from regret.
"Take it. Consider it your reward for leading the way." Ling Xian's expression was calm. To him, a miraculous medicine was no different than a spiritual stone.
"Thank you." The man in grey was ecstatic. He quickly put the medicine into his pouch, afraid that Ling Xian would regret.
"Lead the way."
Ling Xian said softly. Based on the current situation, the Pavilion of Cicadas was the only force that could help him. No matter what, he had to go check it out.
"Please follow me." The man in grey was full of smiles. He looked at the man in grey and headed southeast.
Ling Xian followed.
Seven days later, the two of them landed on the ocean. Before them, a nine-story pavilion was floating. It was surrounded by white fog and heavenly light.
Arrays were faintly discernible and runes were everywhere. The nine-story pavilion was like a giant beast crawling, emitting a terrifying atmosphere.
"This is the headquarter of the Pavilion of Cicadas. It is known to know everything."
The man in grey smiled, "If you want information, this is the best place to come."
"Wait for me here. If I don't come out in three days, you can leave."
Ling Xian said softly. The reason why he didn't let the man in grey leave was because he was familiar with the Ghost Domain.
"Yes." The man in grey smiled, not daring to disobey.
"I hope I can get what I want." Ling Xian muttered to himself. Like a bird, he arrived before the array.
In the next second, the array disappeared. A calm voice arose from inside the pavilion.
"Come in."
Hearing this, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps and entered the Pavilion of Cicadas.
The surroundings were dim. Before him sat an elder in black. His hair was white and he looked old.
His right hand held onto a knife and was carving. There was no Qi around him. He looked like an ordinary elder who was about to pass away.
However, how sensitive was Ling Xian's spiritual sense?
Though the elder's technique was extraordinary, Ling Xian could tell right away that this person was half a step away from being a Venerable.
This meant the elder's position in the Pavilion of Cicadas was not low.
"I wonder what brings you here to the Pavilion of the Cicada?" The elder's expression was emotionless as he continued to carve. He didn't even look at Ling Xian.
"I want to find something." Ling Xian stared at the elder and uttered out five words.
"Human Dao Samsara Disc."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's hand froze. It was obvious that there was a ripple in his heart.
"It seems like you know where the Disc of Human Path of Reincarnation is." Ling Xian smiled. He wasn't afraid of the elder's harsh demands, he was afraid that the Pavilion of Cicada didn't know.
"I do know where it is."
The old man frowned slightly and said, "It's a secret, and there aren't more than five people in the entire Ghost Region who know about it. One of them is even the owner of the Mortal Dao Disk. Where did you find out about it?"
"I have my ways. You just need to tell me who has the Disc of Human Path of Reincarnation." Ling Xian frowned, half happy and half worried.
He was happy that he had a clear direction, but he was worried that the Human Dao Samsara Disc had a master.
This treasure was so powerful that it surpassed even Supreme Artifacts. Even if its owner was just an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator, they could rely on the Human Dao Reincarnation Plate to dominate those in the same realm.
"You should know the rules of the Pavilion of Cicada."
The elder said softly, "If you want it, you must pay the price."
"I know the rules of the Pavilion of Cicada. But I think it's too troublesome. Can I trade for it with treasures?"
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. The last thing he lacked was treasures. Even if the elder asked for an astronomical price, he didn't care.
"Rules cannot be broken."
The elder said softly, "If you want to know who has the Disc of Human Path of Reincarnation, you must do something for the Pavilion of Cicada."
"Speak." Ling Xian frowned slightly.
"Two months ago, the Armory Valley refined a prototype of a Supreme Weapon. It just so happens that I lack a Dao-Proving Weapon."
The elder grinned, "If you bring it back, I will tell you where the Disc of Human Path of Reincarnation is."
"Supreme Artifact …" Ling Xian was a little startled. He didn't think the elder's condition would be the prototype of the Valley of Weapons' Supreme Artifact.
This could be described as harsh, but it could also be described as simple.
The Valley of Weapons was one of the three controlling forces in the Ghost Region, and the Valley Leader was a true Supreme Artifact. To steal the prototype of a Supreme Artifact was not an easy task.
However, he was a Grandmaster of Crafts and could easily make the prototype of a Supreme Artifact.
Ling Xian grinned, "There is no need for such trouble. If you want the weapon, I can give it to you."
"You have the prototype of a Supreme Artifact?" The elder's heart shook. The prototype of a Supreme Artifact was a rare treasure. Even Supreme Artifacts may not have it.
"No. But, I can craft it."
Ling Xian grinned. To him, crafting a Supreme Artifact wasn't difficult. There was no need to provoke the Valley of Weapons.
"Based on what I know, only Grandmasters of Crafts can craft a Supreme Artifact."
"Don't tell me you are a Grandmaster of Crafts."
The elder's brows were tightly locked together, not believing that Ling Xian, who was only 200 years old, was a Grandmaster of Crafts.
"If I wasn't, why would I say I can craft it?"
Ling Xian said softly, "Prepare the heavenly materials. I will craft you the prototype of a Supreme Artifact in exchange for the location of the Disc of Human Path."
"I have two questions. One, what if you fail?"
The elder teased, "Two, I don't want to give up the heavenly materials."
"Let me answer the first question. If I fail, I will compensate you for all your losses."
"The second question, what kind of place is the Valley of Weapons? You should know better than me."
"It is a place with a Supreme Artifact. I don't think I can get my hands on the prototype of a Supreme Artifact. Though my life or death has nothing to do with you, if I fail, you won't get your hands on the prototype either."
"Instead of risking my life, why don't you choose a more stable method?"
Ling Xian glared at the elder. With his abilities, stealing the prototype of a Supreme Artifact wasn't hard. Even if he had to steal from the six leaders, he was confident he could escape.
But to him, crafting a Supreme Artifact was even easier.
"That is true. But the prerequisite is that you can craft a Supreme Artifact." The elder wiped off his smile.
"I told you, if I fail, I will compensate you for all your losses."
Ling Xian said softly, "I don't want to say anything unnecessary. You decide what to do."
"What an interesting young man. I sure want to see if you can craft a Supreme Artifact."
The elder gave Ling Xian a long look, "I want a defensive treasure. What heavenly materials do I need?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian paused for a moment and then named 96 different materials.
"Not rare. Give me half an hour." The elder's silhouette faded and disappeared.
Half an hour later, he walked out of thin air and threw 90 heavenly materials to Ling Xian.
"Let's begin. I hope you can craft a Supreme Artifact that satisfies me."
"Since it concerns the location of the Disc of Human Path, of course I will satisfy you." Ling Xian's expression was calm and he didn't feel pressured at all.
He had crafted two Supreme Artifacts. One was given to the Dragon King and the other was given to the Tiger King. Both were outstanding amongst the Supreme Artifacts.
To him, crafting a Supreme Artifact wasn't hard. Satisfying the elder was even easier.
