第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百九十三章 五色战甲

Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface, but a glance from the corner of his eye caught everyone's reactions.

His expression was composed and unhurried. He turned to look at his wife, then reached out and tapped his waist.

A flash of multicolored light appeared before him, revealing a splendid war armor in five colors.

"Impossible!"

Even the ancient monster, Heavenly Lion Senior, began to lose his composure. After all, the first gift was still debatable; Lin Xuan might have been lucky enough to inherit something from an ancient cultivator. But this war armor...

He knew that it had long since vanished from the world a million years ago. It was difficult to find such items even in the lairs of ancient cultivators.

The set he gave to the Five-Color Fairy was already rare, and getting it was purely by chance. Even the Tianqiao Sect, which excelled in various cultivation techniques, couldn't figure out how to forge armor like this. Where did this young man get such a thing?

Lin Xuan's second gift left everyone speechless with its sheer brilliance.

The Lion King and his son were dumbfounded, while Dream Ruyan and the Five-Color Fairy had expressions of shock on their faces, hands covering their mouths as they gaped in amazement. This... was too incredible.

"Fair Lady, this second gift is a five-color war armor, fitting your name perfectly. I hope you will accept it with grace."

Lin Xuan's smile echoed through the air. He felt a bit stingy about giving away such an item, but for him, it wasn't worth much. It was just a practice piece he used before crafting the Green Flame Qilin Armor. A few pieces were exchanged for treasures with the Tianqiao Sect, but he still had three or four left.

At this moment, he picked one out without hesitation.

Five-color war armor?

Everyone in the room recognized its value immediately as their eyes swept over the armor Lin Xuan presented. The design was dazzling and elegant; the five colors flashed across it, making it far superior to the old lion's set. In fact, they were not even on the same level.

Not only did it have five colors, but Dream Ruyan’s eyes sparkled with admiration as well. This war armor was simply too beautiful.

Of course, what Lin Xuan showed wasn't just for show. Although this armor didn’t suit an ancient monster in the Separation Stage, it would be perfect for an Incarnation Stage cultivator. And compared to the piece Tian Lion Senior presented, which was only suitable for Core Formation Stage cultivators, Lin Xuan’s second gift excelled both in design and practicality.

He had intended to trap them, but now he seemed to have backfired.

Tian Lion Senior was shocked and angry, but his disappointment and disbelief were more pronounced. Was this really just a late-stage Incarnation cultivator?

At this point, he had lost all dignity and honor. Despite the gloomy look on his face, Tian Lion Senior refused to give up; there was still one last gift.

The Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill!

For the Five-Color Sect, this was the most useful item, directly related to her advancement to the Separation Stage.

While the value of this pill wasn't as high as the war armor, it couldn’t be a coincidence that Lin Xuan had such a treasure. Thus, the outcome remained uncertain; he still had the chance to make a last-ditch effort.

Tian Lion Senior thought viciously.

But Lin Xuan ignored his expression. This time, instead of reaching for his storage bag, he raised his head and spoke calmly to the Five-Color Fairy: "Fair Lady, this third gift requires much effort. I have never heard of the Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill..."

Before Lin Xuan could finish, the Lion King and his son couldn't help but show signs of joy. They had been too frustrated earlier; Lin Xuan's wealth was astounding, and he seemed to pull off miracles as if they were everyday occurrences. They feared that he might have more astonishing treasures up his sleeve.

Fortunately for them, the Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill wasn’t forthcoming.

"Young man, honestly speaking, your first two gifts are indeed impressive, but it’s not enough. Although top-grade crystal stones are rare, we can collect them with time and effort. As for this war armor, its value lies in rarity; it's merely a display item. Therefore, the most valuable gift among these three is still the Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill. If you cannot produce it, then you lose."

The old lion’s smug voice echoed.

"Unscrupulous!"

Before he could finish, a sharp rebuke came from above: Ruyan Fairy. The Supreme Elder of the Far Horizon Pavilion wore an expression of disdain: "Tian Lion, at least you are a fifth-stage monster. As they say, accept your loss if you lose. How unscrupulous can one be? When you asked for the first two gifts, you didn’t speak like this. And is it really impossible to collect top-grade crystal stones with time and effort? If you have that ability, show me a few more, or don't disgrace yourself here."

Ruyan Fairy's rebuke left Tian Lion unperturbed; he had anticipated her support for Lin Xuan.

"Fair Lady, your words are incorrect. The value of the gifts is determined by the recipient. For Five-Color Friend, this Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill’s utility far surpasses that of top-grade crystal stones and war armor. Is there anything wrong with my statement?" The Lion King was not only brave but also had a thick skin. He might as well be unscrupulous since he already felt humiliated enough.

"..."

Tian Lion Senior's lack of scruples contrasted with Ruyan Fairy’s, who wasn’t his accomplice. While the old lion had some valid points, Five-Color Fairy needed the Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill desperately now. But her brother’s gift was even more precious, and she couldn't just admit defeat so easily.

"You..." A cold aura flashed across Ruyan Fairy's face. She was not one to back down; at this moment, her expression turned icy.

The Supreme Elder of Far Horizon Pavilion strongly supported Lin Xuan, and the two were on the verge of a confrontation.

But just then, Lin Xuan’s voice echoed: "Tian Lion, why are you in such a hurry? I indeed don't have the Alluring Heavenly Mystery Pill. But that doesn’t mean I can’t produce my third gift; it will just take some effort."

"Effort?"

The Lion King and his son felt a chill down their spines at Lin Xuan's words. They had been traumatized by too many of his miracles, leaving them with psychological scars. Yet Tian Lion was an ancient monster who quickly regained his composure.
