Chapter 210 - Going Down the Mountain, Turning into a Golden Lotus
It was smooth and natural.
The pill cauldron shook and the sword Qi dissipated. A green pill flew out and flashed, wanting to fly out of the Water Residence.
Han Muye raised his hand and waved his sleeve, catching it.
Sun Ce revealed a look of joy and went forward to put away the pill.
“Your alchemy skills are really amazing…”
Sun Ce looked at Han Muye and sighed softly.
He had seen Han Muye refine pills a few times, and he had to say this every time.
Jiang Ming shook his head and muttered, “The more I look at it, the more depressed I feel.” He turned around and left.
He really didn’t want to see Han Muye refine pills.
This kind of thing was a crushing blow to the mind for cultivation.
Jin Yuan lifted her dress and followed him out.
Watching the two of them leave, Elder Su Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Han Muye, your Sword Pavilion is going to cheat my medical hall disciples.”
Han Muye put away the pill cauldron and placed the various spiritual herbs on the long table. Then he said, “Elder, what do you mean by cheat?”
“This is based on ability, okay?
“Why don’t I go back and ground Jiang Ming so that he doesn’t come to the medical hall to refine pills?”
Hearing his words, Elder Su Liang glared at him. Sun Ce smiled and waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine. This is a good thing.”
“Your Sword Pavilion has many talents. It can be considered a strong alliance with the medical hall.”
With that, he glanced at Han Muye and said meaningfully, “Our medical hall thinks very highly of you.”
Thinks very highly? Han Muye mused.
The position of Sect Master?
Did he think I would care about something that won’t happen for many years?
Also, what did he mean by forming an alliance?
Given the medical hall’s lack of resources, who would fancy it?
He’s flattering himself.
Han Muye shook his head, put away his things, left the Pill Hall, and headed for the peak of the Nine Mystic Mountain.
After the disciple reported to him, he saw Tuoba Cheng sitting in the hall dealing with matters.
Now the sect master of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Jin Ze, rarely appeared. Tuoba Cheng took care of all the matters in the sect.
Tuoba Cheng looked burly, but he was a sly and ruthless person.
A ruthless person who could stay silent for ten years and cultivate his sword aura.
“Master Han, why are you here?” Seeing Han Muye, Tuoba Cheng chuckled.
“What treasure are you looking for these days?”
There was Liu Hong in the sword pavilion.
His cultivation level was not great, but his discerning judgment was impressive.
This guy had exchanged a few pieces of junk in the sect’s Treasure Pavilion and brought them back to the Sword Pavilion. They had all become extraordinary treasures.
Because of this matter, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect had even investigated Liu Chuanyi and suspected that this grandfather and granddaughter had joined forces to cheat the sect.
Later on, when Liu Hong went to the Treasure Tower to exchange for things, he had to report it to Tuoba Cheng. It was only when Han Muye appeared a few times that Tuoba Cheng relented.
Han Muye’s Immortal Grade Pills had been taken by Tuoba Cheng in exchange for merit points and items from the Treasure Pavilion.
Shaking his head, Han Muye said in a low voice, “When is that young sect master of the Yuntai Dao Sect leaving? I have something to do, so I’ll go out of the sect with him.”
Go out of the sect?
Tuoba Cheng frowned.
Han Muye’s current reputation as an immortal of the sword path was firmly number one among the younger generation of the Western Frontier.
The Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s higher-ups had discussed a few times how to protect Han Muye.
In this year, thousands of people had joined the Nine Mystic Sword Sect because of Han Muye and Huang Six’s reputation.
These were all people with good aptitude.
The cultivation world was like that.
Reputation was important.
Fame came from strength.
The current Han Muye was very important to the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.
His safety concerned the future of the sect.
“What’s the urgent matter?” Tuoba Cheng looked at Han Muye and said in a low voice, “You didn’t go the last time the eldest daughter of the Huang Zhenxiong was born in Jinyang City.”
Lu Qingping had given birth to a daughter for him and sent someone to beg Han Muye to give her a name.
Han Muye was preparing to make a trip to Jinyang City, but Jin Ze stopped him.
In the end, he let Jiang Ming and Jin Yuan go and bring many gifts.
Han Muye named his adopted daughter Huang Zhihu. He promised that when this girl was a few years older, he would bring her to the Nine Mystic Mountain Sword Pavilion and personally teach her.
Han Muye was hiding in the Nine Mystic Mountain to minimize the possible danger.
Hearing Tuoba Cheng’s words, Han Muye nodded and said, “My cultivation level is stuck at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. I need to find a treasure. Otherwise, I don’t know when I can break through.”
Han Muye did not lack resources for cultivation.
With the experience accumulated from the battle at Cloud Nest Ridge, his body refinement and spiritual energy cultivation had increased rapidly in the past year.
Body Tempering Third Level Foundation Establishment, Spiritual Energy Sixth Level Foundation Establishment.
This was an increase in his cultivation. As for his current combat strength, only he knew.
After all, no one knew how to cultivate in the Sword Pavilion this year.
However, Han Muye’s cultivation had slowed down recently.
This was because his cultivation aptitude was not top-notch.
The cultivation technique he cultivated was extremely high-grade. The sword qi condensed by the Mystic Sun Technique was above first-grade. The spiritual qi cultivated by the Golden Sun Technique was also powerful. This pressed down on his meridians and dantian, causing it to circulate at full capacity.
Especially with his cultivation aptitude, he had only reached grade seven after consuming a pill that increased his aptitude.
It was fine before, but now that his cultivation was about to reach the Earth Realm, he felt the limitations.
Hearing Han Muye’s words, Tuoba Cheng frowned slightly.
Treasures.
Opportunity.
This matter concerned cultivation. This reason made Tuoba Cheng hesitate.
This was the way of cultivation. If one did not fight for opportunities, they would miss them.
He might have interrupted Han Muye’s opportunity by stopping him from searching for treasures.
On the other hand, cultivators did not really have to hide in the school for the rest of their lives to cultivate.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go quietly.”
“I want to go with the young sect master of the Yuntai Dao Sect to deceive others.”
Seeing Tuoba Cheng hesitate, Han Muye said.
Back then, under the request of Huang Six, Han Muye accompanied Lu Qingping to buy swords in the market. He met the itinerant cultivator Tang Yunhao and saw the secret of his godfather, Tang Ze, from his sword.
Cloud Golden Lotus.
A Cloud Golden Lotus Seed could increase one’s cultivation aptitude by one grade.
A treasure that could change one’s cultivation aptitude would make all cultivators go crazy.
According to Han Muye’s estimation, this Cloud Golden Lotus was about to mature.
Coincidentally, the young sect master of the Yuntai Dao Sect was visiting this time. He returned to the sect and passed by the place where the golden lotus was.
Not far from the Blazing Demon Valley.
Tuoba Cheng nodded, turned around, rolled up the White Tiger Scroll on the long table, and handed it to Han Muye.
“I know you don’t lack protective treasures. Take this scroll with you. It can at least increase your combat strength.”
Hearing his words, Han Muye smiled and took the White Tiger Painting.
The White Tiger Scroll that Tuoba Cheng had drawn now did not have any combat strength.
The Sword Dao had been established. This White Tiger Scroll could block an Earth Realm Soul Awakening cultivator.
When he left the hall, Han Muye glanced at the back of the hall and walked straight out.
When he walked out of the hall, Sect Master Jin Ze, who had an old face and silver hair, slowly walked out.
“I wonder what technique this kid has cultivated. His mental strength has become even sharper.”
Jin Ze shook his head and spoke quietly.
With that, he turned to look at Tuoba Cheng. “I reckon he can tell that you’ve changed.”
Change.
Hearing Jin Ze’s words, Tuoba Cheng nodded with a solemn expression. His vigorous aura was suppressed.
‘You’ll have to be quick. I won’t last long.’
Jin Ze looked at the Nine Mystic Mountain below and muttered wistfully.
“I know,” Tuoba Cheng said in a deep voice.
….
After returning to the Sword Pavilion, Han Muye went straight to the third floor. He reached out and the tripod floated gently.
The function of the Void Meridian Pill was to sense the power of the Earth Realm in advance.
At that moment, the person who swallowed the pill would have an ethereal meridians that connected to the world and simulated the power of the Earth Realm’s Meridian Opening.
As for the immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill, it could really allow the person who consumed the pill to have an additional meridian.
Han Muye injected sword Qi into the pill furnace, took out portions of spiritual herbs, and began to refine the Void Meridian Pill.
There were a total of six pills in the two furnaces.
Each one was verdant and bright, surrounded by clouds.
Immortal Grade!
The so-called immortal-grade pill was an extremely pure and spiritual pill.
Such a pill would not have pill poison. Be it nourishing it and slowly dissolving the medicinal power, or directly swallowing it, the power inside would not harm the meridians of the person taking the pill.
After putting away the pill and pill furnace, Han Muye stood up and walked down the sword pavilion.
On the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, Liu Hong and Yang Mingxuan were cleaning their swords. Lin Shen was on duty at the door.
“Senior Brother Han.”
Seeing Han Muye arrive, Yang Mingxuan and Liu Hong hurriedly came forward.
“The Cao family has sent a batch of swords of good quality. They have already entered the pavilion.” Yang Mingxuan took out the book and handed it to Han Muye.
Han Muye, who was in charge of the Sword Pavilion, had the same authority as an elder of the Sword Pavilion.
He had to report all matters of the sword pavilion to him.
Han Muye casually flipped through the book and smiled. “Miss Cao didn’t come?”
It was funny. The marriage Liu Chuanyi arranged for Liu Hong was with this Cao family’s eldest daughter, Cao’e.
This made Cao’e, who had personally delivered the sword, and Liu Hong, who had received the sword, extremely uncomfortable.
Hearing Han Muye’s words, Liu Hong shook his head and said, “Recently, the Cao family has developed a new sword. She’s probably busy too.”
Without destruction, there can be no construction. After the head of the Cao family lost his arm, the Cao family worked hard to develop all kinds of sword refinement methods, causing the number of swords produced to increase.
The Cao family was on the verge of revival.
Of course, this was probably related to Cao Anchun’s willingness to marry his granddaughter to the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.
“I’m going down the mountain soon. The two of you hold down the fort.”
Putting away the book, Han Muye raised his hand, and two green pills appeared.
Immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill.
One was worth three million spirit stones.
“Your cultivation levels are not far from the Earth Realm. Refine these two pills first and nurture them in your dantian.”
This was the Sword Pavilion.
Here, a pill was something that other cultivators outside could not obtain in their entire lives.
Liu Hong and Yang Mingxuan did not decline and bowed to receive it.
Just accept Senior Brother Han’s reward.
That was the rule of the Sword Pavilion.
With their cultivation levels, they also needed this treasure.
“Instructor Lin, please accompany me down the mountain this time.”
When he reached the door, Han Muye looked at Lin Shen and smiled.
Lin Shen, who had fused with the Heaven Realm jade bone, had become even purer.
It stood there like a solemn mountain.
As someone who had cultivated tens of millions of swords, he exerted the pressure of a mountain that could collapse at any moment.
Zhao Pu, who was in charge of Three Stones House, rarely came to the Sword Pavilion now because he did not want to see Lin Shen’s cultivation level increase again.
It was a huge blow.
“It’s my duty to protect you down the mountain.” Lin Shen nodded.
The Sword Pavilion and Nine Mystic Mountain all knew the importance of Han Muye.
A day later, a 100-foot flying ship gently flew up from the Nine Mystic Mountain.
Besides the flying ship, there were two 30-foot-long boats accompanying him.
In the 100-foot flying ship, a green-robed middle-aged man sitting opposite Han Muye cupped his hands and said softly, “Thank you for helping me refine an immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill for my son.”
Han Muye waved his hand and said, “It’s a small matter. You guys paid for it.”
Hearing his words, the green-robed middle-aged man looked ashamed. “Speaking of which, I’m sad to say, our Yuntai Dao Sect suffered a great calamity. We only gathered five spiritual herbs and three million spiritual rocks.”
“Han Zhenxian said that I would pay with spiritual rocks. I’m really ashamed.”
Han Muye’s eyes twitched.
Five sets of spiritual herbs.
Three million Spirit Stones.
If he refined pills himself, the sect would give him three sets of spiritual herbs and 800,000 spiritual rocks.
The sect’s a middleman, holy sh*t, he thought.
