Chapter 353 Sword
Chapter 353 Sword
Qingluan Peak.
Saint Lord Li Jun sat on the main seat, and the heads of the major peaks sat on both sides, and began to reward the disciples who had participated in this trip to the demon clan.
"Xu Long, outer disciple, killed 23 Foundation Establishment stage monsters. He was awarded a yellow-grade magic weapon, the Red Dragon Armor, and 2300 spirit stones."
"Shi Youbing, outer disciple..."
……
"Huang Ningbing, inner sect disciple, killed 54 Jindan-stage demons and 200 Foundation Establishment-stage demons. I am awarded the Earth-grade magical weapon, the Phantom Spirit Veil, and 50000 spirit stones."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the disciples below the stage became excited and whispered discussions arose one after another.
"Wow, Phantom Spirit Yarn, and 50,000 Spirit Stones. Oh my god, if I can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage through seclusion, I don't need to take on any quests to earn cultivation resources, right?"
"Senior Sister Huang is truly a role model for cultivators of my generation!"
"If I can become a Taoist partner with Senior Sister Huang, I would be willing to endure the ascension tribulation in the future."
"Junior brother, why are you still eating and taking things?"
……
"Thank you for the reward, Lord."
Huang Ningbing bowed gracefully, and after standing up, her expression was sincere, her voice was crisp and firm, "But I'm just being audacious, I wonder if I can exchange it for a magic weapon?
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy audience instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Ningbing, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
"The magic weapons are all the most suitable items selected by the elders after much discussion. Ning Bing, please don't make trouble and quickly claim your reward."
On the stage, a female elder from the inner sect frowned slightly, her eyes full of concern and warning, and she couldn't help but speak up to give advice.
"..."
"Yes."
Huang Ningbing lowered her head slightly and bit her lower lip. A trace of imperceptible loss flashed across her face. Her voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees as she responded obediently.
"What treasure do you want?"
Li Jun sat upright in the main seat and suddenly spoke with an interested look on his face.
"Reply...Reply to the Holy Lord, I want a sword, preferably one that is rare in the world. I can exchange the entire reward for it!"
Huang Ningbing suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a fiery light, her chest heaving slightly, and she spoke excitedly and nervously.
"You're not a swordsman, why do you need a sword?"
Li Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Huang Ningbing closely, with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Disciple...disciple has the heart to become a sword cultivator!"
Huang Ningbing's cheeks instantly flushed and she lowered her head slightly.
"Senior Sister, this girl has decent talent. How about you take her back and teach her?"
Li Jun tilted his head slightly, shifting his gaze away from Huang Ningbing and looking at Xu Hanyi who was sitting next to him. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on a certain place in the audience, he conveyed the message unnoticeably.
"The mountain is too small to accommodate it."
Xu Hanyi spoke coldly, his eyes sweeping over Huang Ningbing indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and his voice was devoid of any warmth.
"..."
Li Jun was slightly startled, then his gaze returned to Huang Ningbing. After a moment's silence, he said, "I'll take back the reward. If you successfully form an infant within a hundred years and don't change your mind about becoming a sword cultivator, you can go to the Holy Land's treasury and take any sword you think is rare in the world. How about that?"
"Thank you Holy Lord."
A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Ningbing's eyes, and she immediately bowed respectfully.
Under the stage, in a secluded spot with few people.
"Achuan, do you think Junior Sister Huang is looking for a sword to give to you?"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head slightly and stared at Lin Chuan meaningfully.
"How is that possible? Sister Ningbing and I have no relationship at all. Senior Sister, please don't let your imagination run wild."
Lin Chuan waved his hands hurriedly, his face full of helplessness.
"No relatives? Sister Ningbing?"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes fell on Lin Chuan's ankle intentionally or unintentionally.
"..."
"If Senior Sister doesn't believe me, I'll be angry."
Lin Chuan pretended to be angry and glanced at Jiang Wanying unhappily.
"I am your senior sister, Achuan cannot be angry with you."
"Then be good, Senior Sister, and don't let your imagination run wild."
……
The setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the golden afterglow falls softly like a veil.
"...I hope all of you disciples will achieve enlightenment and ascend! Finally, Zhao Gang, the Holy Son of the Xuanwu Holy Land, has come to our Holy Land for exchange and study. He will temporarily reside in the Holy Palace. Everyone, please be mindful of your words and actions and do not tarnish the reputation of the Holy Land. This meeting is adjourned!"
After two and a half hours, Li Jun finally finished his lengthy speech.
"..."
In an instant, there was deathly silence all around.
The disciples below the stage had different expressions on their faces, all of which revealed a bit of strangeness. As if they had telepathy, everyone raised their heads at the same time and cast their eyes towards Zhao Gang and Lin Yuxuan who were in another remote corner of the venue.
"Brother Yuxuan, why are they looking at us like this?"
Zhao Gang asked, scratching his head with a puzzled look on his face.
"After all, we are all saints. We will attract attention wherever we go. Just get used to it, Zhao Gang."
Lin Yuxuan looked indifferent, with a faint smile on his lips. He waved his hand, looking as if he was used to it.
"Oh, I'll bother Brother Yuxuan for the time being."
Zhao Gang suddenly understood, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he spoke politely, his words full of gratitude.
"Don't worry, my Holy Womb is very big. I will take you to see it in a while."
Lin Yuxuan patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and spoke enthusiastically, with sincerity in his eyes.
……
"Ahem, why don't you go back to practice? Do you want me, the Holy Lord, to treat you to a meal?"
Li Jun stood on the high platform with a dignified look. He coughed lightly and glanced at the disciples below.
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples who were originally immersed in curiosity and waiting woke up as if from a dream.
They hurriedly saluted Li Jun, then turned and left. In just a moment, the square returned to its former emptiness and tranquility.
"All of you, except Lin Chuan, go to the treasury and pick out something you like."
Li Jun glanced at everyone and spoke calmly.
The recipients of the rewards at this conference are mainly the inner and outer disciples. As for the direct disciples of the peak master like Lin Chuan, they usually have no shortage of all kinds of ordinary resources, so they are simply allowed to choose directly from the treasury.
"Thank you, Holy Lord."
Everyone was stunned at first, and looked at Lin Chuan in surprise, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, wondering why he was the only one excluded.
But soon, they collected their minds, calmed down their emotions, and saluted the Holy Lord respectfully.
"Things aren't so easy to get. The higher the quality of the magic weapon, the more selective it is. Even if it's not selective, you still have to break the restrictions to obtain it. If you have evil thoughts, it might stay in the treasure house forever."
Li Jun had a stern expression and a sharp gaze as he swept over everyone one by one. He raised his hand and threw yellow tokens at them.
"Whatever treasure Achuan wants, I will go find it for you."
Jiang Wanying twisted the token lightly with her fingertips, put it away, then slowly raised her eyes, her gaze gently falling on Lin Chuan, and spoke softly.
"No need, Senior Sister, just pick what you need."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly and looked at Jiang Wanying gently.
"Then I'll choose according to Achuan's preferences?"
Jiang Wanying raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked straight at Lin Chuan.
"Really, I..."
Lin Chuan waved his hands hurriedly, but before he could finish his words, Jiang Wanying interrupted him directly.
"Could it be that Ah Chuan only wants the one given by Junior Sister Huang? How about I give her the token and let her pick one to give to you?"
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
"Sister..."
The corners of Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed softly, looking helpless.
"Okay, Ah Chuan, be good and go to Master. Don't run around. I'll be back soon."
