Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 268 Gift
Ji Shaofu went through countless hardships to bring back the Ghostly Flower, which earned her a great achievement.

Huang Bing was the first to look at her injuries, tears streaming down his face. He kept murmuring, "Your senior brother didn't spoil you for nothing." He turned away, wiped his tears, and declared with great pride that whatever Ji Shaofu wanted from the sect's treasury, she could just go and take it.

Of course, the next day, he did not forget Pei Xia, who had accompanied him on this trip.

Although from Ji Shaofu's perspective, Pei Xia did not participate in the bloody battle, she still emphasized Pei Xia's contributions in front of her senior brother, the sect leader.

For example, she was given medical treatment, her whereabouts were concealed, and she was carefully escorted home. She kept saying that without Pei Xia, she would never have been able to come back alive this time.

Huang Bing was an open and honest man. He specially sent his disciple to Pei Xia's cave. First, he brought him a lot of pills to strengthen his body and nourish his vital energy. Then he gave him some money. Finally, he said that this was just Huang Bing's way of expressing his gratitude as a senior brother. The sect's reward was still being discussed and would definitely satisfy Pei Xia.

satisfaction?

How can I be satisfied? Give me the election slot for Liancheng Fantasy, and I'll be satisfied.

Pei Xia returned to his cave dwelling. After days of travel, he had no desire to enter the cold stone chamber and stayed in the wooden house outside.

With Pei Xia away for a while, Han Youzhi used the extra quota she had earned from exchanging for medicinal seeds to exchange for some silver coins, and bought a lot of daily necessities at the water village at the foot of the mountain.

The bed in the cabin had also been re-made with soft, fluffy mattresses that carried a hint of the forest's fragrance after being exposed to sunlight, making it feel as if someone had been airing it out for me every day.

Pear poked her head out from under the covers, staring at him with wide eyes: "What happened?"

Pei Xia shrugged: "Someone's robbing people, don't you all already know that?"

He didn't mention Song Huan to Lu Li. Although they weren't really in love, they had met before in Zhao Jia. Anyway, they would just consider it a missed opportunity and never see each other again.

Speaking of this robbery, it's a bit of a pity that no one was able to be captured alive. Now, it will probably be difficult to find out who was behind it.

Lu Li lay back and crossed her short legs: "I've also inquired about the Liancheng Illusionary Realm."

"Oh? You do know how to get down to business?"

"What?"

Pear rolled her eyes and slowly said, "This illusion seems to have been set up by the high-ranking members of various sects after the fire veins stirred up in recent years. As a result, by chance, they obtained a place with exceptionally abundant spiritual energy. However, this place is permeated with a special power that disturbs people's minds. If one's cultivation level is too low, one cannot resist this power. If one's cultivation level is too high, it will cause a backlash that becomes even more intense. Therefore, if one wants to enter the Liancheng Illusion to seek opportunities, the minimum level required is the Profound Realm, and the maximum level is the Opening Mansion. One cannot enter after reaching the Transformation Realm."

Pei Xia reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while, pulling out a thin wooden stick. He broke the stick in two, kept one piece for himself, and gave the other to Li Zi.

After sucking for a while, Pei Xia indeed tasted sweetness. He said indistinctly, "I think they are lying. They probably did more than just reach the Transformation Realm; they even entered the Heavenly Consciousness Realm. They must have suffered the calamity caused by Ru Tao."

Others, having never come into contact with such a monstrous creature as the Calamity Pig, naturally do not know its power.

Why did Pei Xia, who once supported the Heavenly Martial Universe, disperse? It was because he feared that one day he would be controlled by the Calamity Pig. The stronger Pei Xia's combat power became, the more devastating the suffering would be.

Among the various sects of Dongzhou, it's likely that one of their top experts has already met with this misfortune.

Pear took the short stick and sucked on it in her mouth, just like she did: "Anyway, now only those who have passed the Tongxuan and Kaifu levels can enter. Just like Song Huan mentioned before, large sects like Yunhu Mountain have two spots each, while we have to go through a preliminary selection at Changjing Sect first, and then compete with several other sects around us. In the end, only one person can go to Liancheng Illusionary Realm. As for the sects we are competing with, I have also inquired about them. They are Xuanyi Mountain, Jiujie Valley, and Ziya Eleven Caves. They are all well-known sects in the eastern border of Xiaochen Kingdom."

These companies also made an appearance at Soo Takara's auctions.

Xuan Yi Mountain's Caiyi Kung Fu is probably the most profound among the four sects, including Changjing Sect. Jiujie Valley is skilled in using long spears and soft whips, and seems to be a sect that emphasizes martial arts. Ziya Eleven Caves is more mysterious, and it is said that they raise Gu, cultivate insects, and make poisons. It feels like an unconventional, evil sect that sticks together for warmth.

"The good news is that, based on the experience of the past few years, the Long Whale Sect doesn't really care much about the Liancheng Illusionary Realm. The competition for the sect's spots isn't very fierce every year, and in the martial arts competition among the four sects of the Eastern Frontier, they are basically eliminated in the first round," Pear said.

Pei Xia nodded: "That makes sense." There are so many top-level competitions every year, and not just anyone or any organization will actively prepare for them. Changjingmen is clearly just the kind of organization that goes through the motions and makes a show of it.

That is indeed good news.

Just as Pei Xia was about to ask Lu Li if she had found out who was participating in the Changjingmen event, there was a knock on the door.

Pei Xia got out of bed and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was naturally Han Youzhi.

Old Han looked at Pei Xia and Li Zi, who was perched on his shoulder, each with a stick in their mouth, and his lips twitched: "What are you doing?"

Pei Xia pulled the wooden stick out of Lu Li's mouth and, to Lu Li's horrified gaze, shoved it back into her mouth.

Then, calmly, she said, "Oh, it's a souvenir I brought for Pear from Su Bao Zhai."

Han Youzhi glanced at Li Zi, who was looking miserable and disgusted, then looked at Pei Xia: "I have something to tell you."

After taking Lu Li off her shoulder and watching her roll away like a little ball, Pei Xia stepped aside and said, "Come in and sit down."

The wooden hut was something Pei Xia casually built when she opened up her cave dwelling. It wasn't particularly fancy, and there was a small table inside, which Han Youzhi had added recently.

As soon as he sat down, Pei Xia reached into his robes and began rummaging around for a while before pulling out a silver sword tassel.

He placed the sword tassel on the table and pushed it towards Han Youzhi: "Here, I brought this for you."

It's normal for Pei Xia to bring gifts to Lu Li. The two have a close relationship, like father and daughter, and besides, Lu Li is still a child.

Old Han never expected that he would get a share.

The sword tassel is not a legal weapon, but it is made of a special material. The silk threads exude a faint spiritual power like ripples on water, which also has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit.

He reached out and gently stroked her, his childish voice unusually soft: "Thank you."

She then took a deep breath, and her previously hesitant heart became firm.

“I also have a gift for you,” she said.

Pei Xia initially sneered: "Aren't you so poor you're practically pawning your pants?"

I feel like I've heard this before, when Pei Xia gave her the sword inside the belly of the sea god's fish.

But the next second, Pei Xia's gaze froze.

Because what Han Youzhi placed on the table was something he was extremely familiar with.

Two emerald green jade pieces.

He looked up, staring in astonishment at the beautiful woman.

Han's childlike face carried a sense of composure and relief.
