第一千七百零九章 自寻死路

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene, and despite his previous speculations, he found himself breathing heavily. The situation was identical to when Jin Yi had taken away the jade box last time; what kind of miraculous medicinal pills were inside was already clear.

Moreover, setting aside the miraculous medicinal herbs for now, the material itself of this jade box was Nine Heavens Rejuvenating Jade, one of the three divine jades in legend. It was also the most yang and rigid type. When used to refine fire attribute magical treasures, just a small amount could make the treasure's body extremely hard, greatly enhancing its fire attribute abilities.

This item, whether for personal use or sold on the market, would definitely be worth its weight in gold, considered material of divine level.

And it had special significance to him; it was one of the main materials used to refine the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array's fire swords.

With a flip of his hand, Lin Xuan took out another jade box. This one was empty, obtained after eliminating Jin Yi. But just for this empty box, he nearly clashed with Filigree Iblan.

The Filigree Young Master was no ordinary person; common treasures were beneath his notice. From this, it could be seen how extraordinary Nine Heavens Rejuvenating Jade truly was.

Lin Xuan placed the empty box aside and then took out what he had retrieved from a hidden compartment in his hand. Suppressing his excitement, he lightly tapped with his index finger, and the sound of a snap entered his ears as he easily opened it.

In the bottom of this small jade box lay a yellow silk cloth, occupying most of the space. At the center was a tiny bottle, made of blue-and-white porcelain, unexpectedly exquisite.

There were禁制符箓贴ed on top of the bottle. Lin Xuan didn't rashly tear them off but hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had transformed into brilliant silver.

Past events serve as warnings for future ones. If his guess was correct, tearing this talisman would release its medicinal spirit. Lin Xuan didn’t want to risk it; he could always reseal it later. With his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes shining brightly, the bottle's surface became blurry, and a tiny light ball appeared in his vision. Inside it, a small pill, about the size of a bean, spun ceaselessly—this was the medicinal spirit.

Despite his previous speculations, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling excited when he confirmed it. Heaven had granted him this; with it, he now had another trump card.

To be honest, Lin Xuan wasn’t just relying on that one item. During his last encounter with the Toxic Dragon Ancestor's avatar, there was something else he had forgotten to use.

With a flick of his hand, a grayish talisman flew out from his sleeve. Don't judge a treasure by its appearance; what looks good isn't always valuable, and vice versa.

This Substitute Talisman was found in the night market of Nine Immortal City, having the same effect as the Daoist sect's substitute for tribulation. However, it required sacrificing one hand or foot, while this item could block a fatal attack on his behalf.

After counting these two treasures, Lin Xuan placed them together, ready to use them whenever he encountered danger in the future.

Feeling satisfied, Lin Xuan prepared to count other treasures when an unusual波动 entered the cave. His expression changed as he looked up and fired off a spell from his fingertips.

Snap…

The禁制 opened, and a burst of fire flew into the cave.

It was a transmission talisman.

Lin Xuan spread his palm, and it seemed to have a mind of its own as it fell inside. Then, he lowered his head and sank his spirit sense...

Soon, his expression darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Truly fearless."

Before the words left his mouth, a fierce wind arose, and Lin Xuan found himself flying out of the cave.

Two faces appeared before him.

The Upper-Sky sisters were filled with anxious expressions. Seeing Lin Xuan, their joy was evident as they hurriedly bowed deeply in greeting.

"Please don't be so formal," said Lin Xuan. "You say that the Heaven Fire Sect has come to our Yuan Turtle Island for a reprimand? They are truly fearless."

Guang Yan performed a bow, her face filled with anxiety: "Senior, you previously eliminated one of their rogue members. That red-robed cultivator was the direct grandson of the Heaven Fire Ancestor. The old monster is enraged and has come to seek justice."

"Hmph. A mere First Stage Immortal, what right does he have to be so arrogant? Where is that Heaven Fire Ancestor now, and how are things going?" Lin Xuan said indifferently.

"Fortunately, they haven't hidden their movements, and we found them in the nearby sea early on. Mother ordered everyone not to engage in battle but instead activate our protective array."

"That's a wise choice; your mother is very clever," Lin Xuan nodded approvingly. The only way was to minimize casualties by activating the protective array.

"We beg for your assistance, as this array won't last long."

Lin Xuan had no objection. Emotionally and logically, he couldn’t ignore such matters, especially with the connection to the Immortal Phoenix Fairy. He had promised to support them.

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

The two girls were overjoyed and flew ahead in unison like a streak of lightning. Lin Xuan followed at his own pace.

Exiting Forget-Worry Valley, the air was filled with malevolence; the situation seemed worse than he had imagined. Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as he didn't dare delay further. His body emitted a green glow, enveloping the sisters and speeding towards the outside.

Lin Xuan’s evasive techniques were beyond compare, reaching their destination almost instantly.

Above a small hill, several hundred cultivators hovered in the sky; most of them were from the Hundred Grass Sect. Above them was a thick fog, which was undoubtedly the protective array's effect.

Inside the fog, thunderous sounds echoed continuously, and ice arrows and lightning fires could be seen flickering.

On seeing Lin Xuan, Upper-Sky Mudrain’s face turned from worry to joy as she bowed: "Senior, I apologize. We had no choice but to disturb you. Originally, we didn't want to trouble you, but our sect is weak. As the head of this sect, I lack the strength to resolve this crisis, so..."

"Do not blame yourself; it's a small matter."

Before he could finish speaking, an unpleasant voice rang out from above: "Lower-Sky scullery maid! You actually dared to kill my grandson. Are you mad? Thinking that hiding behind禁制 would protect you, I am here for revenge today. I will extract your soul and torment every member of the Hundred Grass Sect..."

The voice was not only unpleasant but also full of malice; it belonged to the Heaven Fire Sect's Supreme Elder.

"Hmph. A mere First Stage Immortal, what audacity! Senior Fellow Daoist, shall we go together?"
