Chapter 16
Taiyin True Water, Star Meteorite Iron!
Lu Yuan's mind was slightly shaken.
Five-colored soil is a rare and precious commodity in the cultivation world. If spiritual herbs are planted in five-colored soil, their growth cycle can be greatly shortened.
With this item, he switched to cultivating the Great Five Elements Chaos Technique, leaving him with only the last two rare treasures of heaven and earth.
After Lu Yuan quietly returned to Changsheng Peak.
Outside the cave, a voice, aged yet full of vigor, rang out.
"Disciple Jiang Wuyai requests an audience with the Ancestor."
A cold smile curved at the corners of Lu Yuan's lips.
He didn't get up, but calmly said, "Come in."
The stone gate to the cave is opened.
The First Elder, Jiang Wuyai, walked in slowly.
His gaze immediately fell on Lu Yuan.
When he saw that Lu Yuan's complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady, showing no signs of weakness, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?
This old guy wasn't injured at all.
He became increasingly cautious.
"I wonder what brings you here, Elder?" Lu Yuan's tone was as calm as still water.
Jiang Wuyai quickly composed himself, forcing a look of utmost loyalty and concern onto his face.
He took out a jade box from his storage bag and presented it with both hands.
"Ancestor, I heard that you suffered a Dao injury at Burial Immortal Ridge. I am deeply troubled day and night."
His voice was filled with grief: "This disciple is incompetent and unable to share the burden for the Ancestor. I have exhausted half my life's savings to obtain this Longevity Pill from Medicine King Valley. This pill can extend one's life by fifty years. I hope the Ancestor will accept it to resolve the crisis of the sect."
He spoke with great emotion, as if he were truly a loyal minister who devoted himself to the sect and the patriarch.
Lu Yuan looked at him and sneered inwardly.
He took the jade box and opened it.
A pill, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance yet mixed with a barely perceptible trace of death energy, lay quietly inside.
"You've put your heart into this," Lu Yuan praised. "I appreciate your kindness."
He did not immediately break off relations.
He was waiting for the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts to take the bait.
In fact, to make the scene more realistic.
Right in front of Jiang Wuyai, he took out the longevity pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
Of course, this is just a smokescreen.
With his current cultivation level, it would be extremely easy for him to deceive a mere Golden Core cultivator.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, it was enveloped by his Nirvana True Fire and reduced to ashes.
However, in Jiang Wuyai's eyes...
The ancestor actually swallowed the pill.
A fleeting, irrepressible excitement and elation flashed in his eyes.
It became.
The time is about to come.
He suppressed his excitement and bowed respectfully again: "It is my duty to share the burden for the Ancestor. Now that the Ancestor has taken the elixir, I will not disturb the Ancestor's meditation."
After saying that, he voluntarily left the cave.
Lu Yuan sat upright in his cave, constantly stabilizing his cultivation, trying to comprehend the elusive Nascent Soul realm.
Another day has passed.
Midnight arrived quietly.
These were three insignificant pieces of white intelligence, of little value to him.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.
It seems unrealistic to rely solely on daily random refreshes to collect all five elemental treasures.
Looking at his remaining 12,100 Destiny Points, he no longer hesitated.
"System, obtain information on rare treasures of the water or metal attributes."
[The level for targeted intelligence gathering is set to: Purple.]
[Two pieces of information matching the criteria were found. Requires 2000 Destiny Points.]
[Confirm?]
"confirm."
With a thought from Lu Yuan, two thousand Fate Points vanished instantly. The next moment, two brand-new purple intelligence reports appeared before his eyes.
[Purple Intelligence: The rare water-attribute treasure, Taiyin True Water, is located in the deep blue pool of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.]
Note: This icy pool is the lair of a mid-stage Nascent Soul Azure Dragon King. This demon king is cruel and has an extremely strong sense of territory. [Click to view coordinates]
[Purple Intelligence: Metal-attribute rare and precious meteorite iron, currently stored in the Four Seas Merchant Guild in the capital of Zhao State.]
Its appearance is no different from ordinary black iron ore, so it was treated as refining waste and carelessly discarded in a corner of the merchant guild's warehouse. Note: This item is the core of a star that fell from outer space, containing the purest and most refined golden energy. [Click to view location]
The two pieces of information were clear and concise.
A hint of joy flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Once he has gathered the remaining two rare treasures of the Five Elements, he can then switch to cultivating martial arts techniques.
He immediately made a decision to split his forces into two groups.
Lu Yuan summoned Gu Qingxue again and told her in detail about the location and characteristics of the special black iron ore, and asked her to immediately send a reliable disciple to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to buy it back.
He himself flashed and headed directly towards the deep blue pool in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
……
The Ten Thousand Mountains are teeming with monsters and filled with miasma.
In a secluded valley, there is a huge, cold pool that spans hundreds of miles.
The pool water has an eerie emerald green color, and a layer of cold mist lingers above its surface year-round. Ordinary cultivators who get close will have their bones chilled by the cold.
This is the territory of the Azure Dragon King.
Lu Yuan's figure appeared silently above the cold pool.
With his divine sense, which was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and at the peak of perfection, he could easily see through the entire terrain of the cold pool with just a casual sweep.
Deep within the pool, in a cave dwelling crafted from cold jade, a colossal dragon, over a hundred feet long, with a single horn on its head and its body covered in blue scales, coiled up, inhaling and exhaling the primordial energy of the cold pool.
It was the Azure Dragon King, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Lu Yuan made no attempt to conceal his presence.
His vast and abyss-like pressure, like the sky collapsing, directly enveloped the icy pool below.
"roar."
The Azure Dragon King at the bottom of the pool was instantly awakened.
A violent, bloodthirsty aura surged up from the bottom of the pool.
"Who dares to trespass on my territory? You're courting death!"
With a roar, a huge column of water burst out from the pool and shot straight into the sky.
The Azure Dragon King's enormous body burst forth from the water, creating towering waves.
Its lantern-sized vertical pupils stared intently at Lu Yuan, who was suspended in mid-air, filled with cruelty and disdain.
In its eyes, this human cultivator, though powerful, dared to trespass into its territory alone, which was simply courting death.
However, the next moment.
Its disdain turned into endless terror.
Lu Yuan slowly raised his hand.
A long, ancient sword, entirely black, with countless vengeful spirits seemingly roaring across its blade, appeared in his hand.
Taiyin Exorcising Blade.
This is a low-grade spiritual treasure, a spoil of war he obtained in his early years after killing a powerful demonic cultivator.
What terrified the Azure Dragon King even more was...
A wisp of crimson flame, exuding an aura of both holiness and destruction, slowly rose from the blade.
The flames seemed to be the most feared natural enemy deep within its bloodline.
