第一千九百六十八章 雪阳雷火晶

Chapter 1968: Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal

"Good, those materials are indeed rare. However, with the power of the煞阳宗, if one puts in effort, two hundred years have passed; I think there should be some收获," Lin Xuan's cool voice entered his ears. "Do not tell me that up until now, you still have no leads."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan's expression turned cold.

Given his personality, it was clear he would not easily be fooled. If the other party were to act with one face and mean another, he would certainly make them regret their actions.

"Master, there is a misunderstanding. As an old servant, I have done my utmost; how could I possibly have no收获? The treasures you listed, four of them already have leads," the Old Demon of煞阳 rushed to explain, then waved his sleeves and sent out a storage bag flying before placing it on the table in front of Lin Xuan.

"Oh?" Lin Xuan's exterior remained calm, but he was secretly quite pleased. Since these materials were ones he had listed himself, how rare they were was clear to him at the core of his being. Not only did one need effort, but luck as well. The other party managing to collect four out of them far exceeded his expectations.

Reaching out, Lin Xuan grabbed the storage bag and then sank his spirit sense into it.

After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head with a hint of joy on his face. Indeed, the four materials collected by the other party did not overlap with those he had obtained.

Thus, combining both sets, only one material was needed for refining the fire sword.

The Old Demon of煞阳 had been secretly watching Lin Xuan's expression and seeing no signs of anger, he breathed a sigh of relief. Some flattering words entered his ears: "I am not unhardworking; the other three materials are not too difficult to collect..."

"You do not need to explain. I have my own understanding. The琉璃五彩石 and 九阳天火液 I already obtained. Do you have any clues for the last Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal?" Lin Xuan said coldly.

"Master, it turns out you also collected two; that is truly impressive," the Old Demon of煞阳 was taken aback, feeling quite surprised by this. These words were not mere flattery. Although those seven materials were all extremely rare, they certainly had differences among them.

Compared to the four materials he had collected, the琉璃五彩石 and 九阳天火液 were clearly more precious. He wondered how he managed to obtain them.

Not to mention the miracle of advancing from洞玄期 in two hundred years.

In the Old Demon's mind, Lin Xuan became even more mysterious.

With these thoughts, his expression grew even more respectful, almost with a hint of awe. This effect was not solely due to the Soul Suppressing Spell; it was also because Lin Xuan's displayed power had convinced him.

"Indeed, I do have some clues for the Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal," the Old Demon of煞阳 hesitated before speaking.

"Oh, you say..." Lin Xuan remained calm.

"To complete the task given by Master, I put in a great deal of effort. However, the Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal is no small matter. I searched through major markets and auctions, as well as various sects and families; even if I wanted to take them by force, it would be like a skilled woman trying to cook without rice. Later, after reviewing ancient texts, I found that this item appeared once over 100,000 years ago..."

"Over 100,000 years ago, where did this item originate from?"

"The fourth layer of the Ruins Sea; it is said to have been brought out by a wandering cultivator at the洞玄期."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Xuan's face showed no sign of surprise. As an ancient battlefield, such treasures scattered in the Ruins Sea were perfectly normal.

However, the dangers there were well-known, and even洞玄期 cultivators could fall victim to them without any shame.

"Is your information accurate?"

"I dare not deceive Master; I am willing to swear by a curse."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, showing a disbelieving expression. For cultivators, curses and oaths were just jokes. Even if one swore by the Heart of Evil, there was still some binding power, but with enough benefits, they might break their word.

Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment before asking more questions.

The Old Demon of煞阳 was under the Soul Suppressing Spell; naturally, he did not dare to be evasive. He spoke without reservation...

After several rounds of drinks, the old demon reached out and another beautifully crafted storage bag appeared in front of him.

He then gave Lin Xuan a bow: "Master, I am ashamed. The task you assigned me was not completed, but I have indeed done my utmost; there is no question that I did not slack off at all. Here are some treasures as a token of my heart. There may be little here, but please accept them."

The Old Demon of煞阳 was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years and naturally had deep plans.

He had long thought that Lin Xuan would eventually come looking for him, and the materials he asked to gather were incomplete. Who knew if Lin Xuan might be furious?

As they say, when under someone's roof, one must bow down. Therefore, he prepared many treasures in hopes of calming any anger from his side.

Lin Xuan was a very clever person; even without saying it, he understood the other party's intentions. With such valuable items present, there was no reason to refuse. Lin Xuan reached out, and a flash of spirit light entered the bag.

After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head with satisfaction on his face. The storage bag contained crystals, materials, medicinal pills, and magical treasures; it would take some time for Lin Xuan to estimate their value.

"Since you have such good intentions, I will not be rude."

Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and put all the items into his waist pouch.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

The Old Demon of煞阳 appeared humble before Lin Xuan. With only about eight hundred years left in his lifespan, he was no longer interested in advancement; peace was enough. He did not mention receiving the gift but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A man who received food could not refuse it, and one who accepted gifts would not be harsh.

"I have another question to ask."

"Please do not hesitate to ask, Master. I will speak without reservation."

"Do you know how many隔界传送阵 there are in the East Sea?" Lin Xuan asked, revealing his doubts. The power of the煞阳宗 was considerable; as a Supreme Elder, he knew the secrets, which was not surprising.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan planned to leave. The clues obtained from the Old Demon of煞阳 were the same as those from the High Lord of the Holy City.

Comparing them, this information should be true.

"Master, there is one more thing I wish to ask," seeing Lin Xuan's intention to leave, the Old Demon of煞阳 hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"When Master said earlier that if all the treasures were gathered, the Soul Suppressing Spell could be lifted, two hundred years have passed. Although I did not gather them all, I put in my best effort. Now with the last material having leads, I believe that with your great power, you can obtain it. Can you lift the restrictions on me and return me to freedom?"

: Thank you so much for the generous donation of 50,000 coins from Soul Friend Helan Mountain. I really appreciate it! Thanks to the Soul Lord, thank you very much! Phantom Rain is here with my wife and baby bowing in gratitude. I will strive to do better.
