第五卷 天云十二州 第八百六十七章 碧玉青光镯

It must be known that法宝are different from灵器. In the cultivation world, they are much rarer than spiritual artifacts, and their value far exceeds that of ordinary techniques.

Indeed, only one in ten thousand cultivators can condense a core, but some small sects don't even have any 法宝at all.

This alone shows how rare they are.

However, to the young master's eyes, they seemed as common as cabbage. He casually handed out three precious treasures and each was of utmost value.

For a moment, Liu Xin felt like she was in a dream, so excited that she couldn't control herself.

It took half a cup of tea for her to regain her senses, then she gratefully bowed down to Lin Xuan.

"None of this is necessary!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand. For him, these items were merely a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning. Placed in his storage bag, they would just gather dust anyway. Naturally, he wanted to give the two girls some good equipment.

Although 6 Ying'er didn't speak, her eyes seemed to be brimming with tears as she looked at Lin Xuan with hopeful eyes.

One could not show favoritism; after all, compared to Liu Xin, 6 Ying'er might offer greater assistance. Lin Xuan waved his sleeve and took out a few more treasures.

A piece of silk cloth, a small, delicate bracelet, and a red ribbon about a foot long appeared before their eyes.

Although the two girls were to practice the same technique, each item was intended for 6 Ying'er's protection.

With these treasures, they could at least ensure that she could retreat safely if they couldn't defeat an opponent.

"Enough. These are not many items; you should keep them well. With these 法宝, their abilities can be greatly enhanced, and even a level jump challenge might become possible."

"Thank you, young master..." The two girls bowed again, feeling an immense gratitude towards Lin Xuan. Was there such a generous owner in the world?

"Enough of this formalities. As long as you both work hard and don't disappoint my intentions, go back now!"

"Yes!"

The two girls lowered their heads obediently and left the cave after hearing his words.

"Young master, with their abilities, do they really have a chance to condense an infant core?" A charming girl appeared before him in a flash of white light.

"It's hard to say. In the cultivation world, nothing is certain; it depends on their luck. Of course, I will properly cultivate them within my means," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"Hmm. Speaking of which, I never expected 6 Ying'er and Liu Xin to achieve such success. With so many benefits promised by you, they are already loyal. If they can condense an infant core successfully, it would be a great help for you in the future," Yue Ruo said.

"Indeed. This place is no longer the former Youzhou; there are numerous sects and countless experts here. Having more capable assistants will greatly benefit us in the long run." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

"But what about the internal troubles of Baxue Pavilion? Those rebellious cultivators at the core stage are not a threat, but we can't afford to provoke Liuyao Palace. After all, they have several powerful experts among them," Yue Ruo said with a worried expression.

"Don't overcomplicate things. Although Liuyao Palace is strong, its main base is in Yunzhou. According to Ying'er, the area of Yunzhou alone could be dozens of Youzous combined. The differences in cultivation resources are beyond comparison. Here, compared to their main base, it's just a wilderness. Such a powerful sect hasn't shown interest in Youzhou for decades; why would they suddenly establish a branch here?" Lin Xuan stood up and walked around the cave.

"Could it be due to the Tianyuan Scroll? Ying'er said that its founder once belonged to Liuyao Palace."

Indeed, Ying'er had mentioned this, but he didn't hear clearly. That guy was just an Inner Sect disciple who later established his own sect. Perhaps out of old favors, Liuyao Palace might allow him to use their name temporarily. But a mere core cultivator like that wouldn't be taken seriously by such a powerful sect; they certainly wouldn't interfere in Baxue Pavilion's affairs.

"Why don't you have any ideas?" Yue Ruo asked.

"I'm not sure," Lin Xuan stopped and sighed. "With so little information, it's hard to analyze anything useful. However, one thing is certain: even if Youzhou does establish a branch here, Liuyao Palace wouldn't care much. Even if we conflict with them and they are at a disadvantage, would the high-ranking elder of Liuyao Palace, an advanced-stage cultivator, come all the way to this wilderness? Such cultivators won't be indifferent, but they won't easily intervene over trivial matters."

"Young master's analysis is sound," Yue Ruo was greatly impressed by Lin Xuan's reasoning. "What about your plans?"

"Plans? We don't need them now." Lin Xuan said with a surprising statement that left the girl speechless. "After fighting on Jialeilin Island, I'm tired of it. Now we have an opportunity to rest."

"But," Yue Ruo was about to object when she noticed the mischievous look on Lin Xuan's face and realized he was just joking.

She couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and angry, pouting.

The master and servant laughed together, while 6 Ying'er and Liu Xin were overjoyed with their new treasures. They immediately began meditating to stabilize their newly condensed cores and follow Lin Xuan's instructions to cultivate the new 法宝with danfire.

Originally, these items had marks from their previous owners, but Lin Xuan used the mysterious power of Bihuigyou Fire to erase them.

Now, they were truly his own. The two girls only needed a little ritual to make them fully theirs.

Three months passed in an instant.

One morning, three streaks of light left the飘云谷 at high speed and vanished into the sky.

While the two girls were meditating, Lin Xuan hadn't been idle; he had rewarded several loyal disciples with 法宝. Each cultivator received a treasure, but they weren't as valuable as those given to 6 Ying'er and Liu Xin. Nevertheless, it still made them extremely happy, bowing in gratitude.

For the lower-stage cultivators at the base of Baxue Pavilion, Lin Xuan rewarded them based on their abilities and contributions. Although there were hundreds of them, his wealth was vast enough that such rewards were just a drop in the ocean. Most of these rewards were crystals, talismans, or low-grade spiritual artifacts taken directly from the pavilion's storerooms.

In total, Lin Xuan's generous rewards brought joy to the entire飘云谷, significantly boosting loyalty and morale.

After nearly a hundred days of meditation, their cultivation levels remained stable. The 法宝they received had been properly cultivated, though they couldn't yet use them with full mastery, but they could still unleash considerable power.

With time running out, Lin Xuan couldn't stay in the飘云谷 forever. After consulting with the two girls, he decided to eliminate the traitors.

Due to Liuyao Palace's involvement, 6 Ying'er and Liu Xin were a bit uneasy, but they didn't say anything; everything would be decided by the young master.

With the two girls accompanying him, Lin Xuan couldn't use his full speed. However, Youzhou was not far from Yunzhou, so it only took a few days for them to arrive at their destination.

The mountain was vast and rugged, stretching about a hundred miles in circumference. Although Lin Xuan came from Youzhou, he had never heard of this place before. After Ying'er's introduction, they learned that it was called Jiaoyang Mountain.

From the sky, with his powerful divine sense as an advanced-stage cultivator, Lin Xuan naturally encompassed the entire mountain. Indeed, it resembled a giant snake crawling on its belly, and the name "Jiaoyang" fit perfectly.

Inside Jiaoyang Mountain lay the main base of Liuyao Palace.

To resolve internal issues, they first needed to remove their external support. Thus, Lin Xuan came here but didn't rush into the mountain recklessly. He needed to think carefully; even if Liuyao Palace wasn't paying much attention to this wilderness, it still had a branch here. Therefore, he couldn't be too careless and shouldn't just storm in with bloodshed. The exact approach would depend on the situation.
