Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

"Among them, twenty-five are from the Gong clan, and the rest are from the other three major immortal clans."

The ten elders then succinctly described the trials each person had endured—

All disciples of the Gong Clan must create their own sword technique within five days.

The other three immortal clans each had seven days to learn one of the techniques they were given.

When the Tenth Elder mentioned Lin Yuan's test, Immortal Yu surprisingly spoke up: "He's a weapon refiner?"

The tenth elder immediately replied, "That's not true."

"He is a guard of the Gong clan of immortals, but he has the talent to refine weapons."

Yu Xianzhang's question was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water; he only asked that one question and then didn't speak again.

The Tenth Elder couldn't figure out what Immortal Yu's attitude was towards Lin Yuan, but having no attitude might not be the best attitude.

He didn't say anything more and continued the conversation, "Immortal Master Yu, I wonder if you have any considerations regarding the number of students in mind for this lecture?"

Immortal Master Yu did not answer immediately, but the Tenth Elder did not press for an answer; he simply waited patiently.

A moment later, the Immortal Master Yu's voice broke the silence: "At most ten people."

......

The morning passed quietly, and Lin Yuan raised his hand to cast a spell and took the Azure Frost Sword out of the forging furnace.

Gazing at the gleaming blade, his gaze finally settled on a notch.

This gap is precisely where Lin Yuan is focusing his repair efforts.

The gap that was originally the size of a jade pendant has now been repaired by Lin Yuan to the size of a grain of rice.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

His repair speed is now much faster than before.

Lin Yuan did not relight the furnace fire, but instead put the Azure Frost Sword into his storage bag and prepared to go to the market.

He remembered that the Nine Revolutions Refining Technique mentioned that if one wanted to remove the sword energy left on a magic weapon, the only way was to refine the Purple Jade Gourd and merge it with it.

Furthermore, different levels of sword energy require different grades and quantities of purple jade gourds to match.

Lin Yuan recalled the sword energy that the Tenth Elder had intentionally left behind. Perhaps because it was just a test, the sword energy was not too strong.

Three low-grade purple jade gourds are enough.

After thinking it over, Lin Yuan left his residence after having lunch.

Upon arriving at the market, Lin Yuan familiarly entered the "Baobaozhai" shop he had visited before.

"Young man, welcome..." The shop owner rushed forward to greet the customer as usual, but when his gaze fell on Lin Yuan's face, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Young man, it's you."

Lin Yuan hadn't expected that the shop owner, who greeted and saw off customers every day, would still remember him, but it wasn't a big deal to him. He simply nodded slightly and said, "It's me."

The shop owner had a deep impression of Lin Yuan, and his enthusiasm became more genuine. "Young man, what are you here to buy this time?"

Lin Yuan: "Three low-grade purple jade gourds."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner thought for a moment, then looked somewhat troubled.

"What, you don't have any?" Lin Yuan asked the shop owner.

Shop owner: "Right now, we only have two low-grade purple jade gourds and one mid-grade purple jade gourd in the shop."

A mid-grade purple jade gourd can certainly replace the missing low-grade purple jade gourd. In fact, because of the existence of the mid-grade purple jade gourd, only one of the three low-grade purple jade gourds that were originally required is needed.

But I'm afraid the spirit stones required for a mid-grade purple jade gourd...

"I wonder what their prices are?" Lin Yuan then asked.

The shop owner immediately replied, "A low-grade purple jade gourd costs 300 spirit stones, while a mid-grade purple jade gourd costs... 1,000 spirit stones."

The total is only 1,300 spirit stones.

Lin Yuan thought of the 1,000 spirit stones he carried, and his feelings became complicated.
