305: Chapter 305 An Unexpected Joy

"What does Master say?" Gou Qizi couldn't care less about his injuries and stood up in a panic.

Daoist Cang Zhu handed him the note. "Read it yourself."

Upon reading it, Gou Qizi was shocked: "Master even knows that the Drug-Man Art from the Southern Border has appeared? And he invited Lin Xiao to meet? Could it be that he intends to ask for the Dharma Seal back in person?!"

"Most likely, yes. After all, he can't count on the two of us..."

Daoist Cang Zhu gave a bitter smile: "That Great General finds us annoying even when he sees us, and now he wants us to invite him? Isn't that just a death wish?"

Gou Qizi hurriedly distanced himself: "What 'us'? This is the duty of you, the Sect Leader Senior Brother, it has nothing to do with me!"

Daoist Cang Zhu glared at him coldly and threw a punch right at him!

Howls of pain immediately echoed within the Mountain God Temple...

The next morning.

Xie Juner sat in front of the dressing mirror, with Xiaodie behind her helping to comb her hair.

"Princess, you look truly beautiful today."

"Really? I think so too. My complexion is so good..."

Xie Juner had thought that after losing so much blood last night and being tossed about until late in the night, she would be very haggard.

But to her surprise, aside from walking a bit awkwardly, her energy was excellent.

Lin Xiao said he practiced a unique cultivation technique, and it truly had miraculous effects.

"Xiaodie, use that red jade hairpin my mother left behind for me. I want to tell her spirit in heaven that I have married."

"Very well, Princess!"

As the two were chatting happily, Lin Xiao walked in from outside.

Xie Juner hurriedly stood up happily, "General."

"Hmm? What did you call me?" Lin Xiao frowned.

Xie Juner's pretty face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly changed her form of address to "Husband."

In fact, last night, she had already called him "Husband" until her throat was hoarse...

It was mortifying; the other sisters must have heard it, after all, their martial arts skills were very high.

But fortunately, everyone would be the same sooner or later, so no one came to make fun of her.

"Pay attention next time, don't call me the wrong thing."

Lin Xiao warned her, then said: "I want to talk to you about practicing martial arts today. Keep your makeup simple, eat some breakfast quickly, and then come with me to the training ground."

"Oh, that's right, bring your zither."

Seeing that her man was so concerned about her martial arts, Xie Juner couldn't be bothered with her makeup and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

However, why bring the zither?

Xie Juner didn't dare to ask, and after eating a few bites, she went to the training ground in the backyard.

Xiao Qingxuan and the other women were all busy with their own tasks; after all, they had to return to Baishui in two days, and they had to finish dealing with some matters in Yangquan.

With only Lin Xiao and Xie Juner at home, it was quite quiet.

"I have three cultivation techniques, all of which are Heaven Grade..."

Lin Xiao explained the techniques to Xie Juner one by one.

"I'll let you choose for yourself. Which one do you want to practice?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xie Juner considered for a moment and said: "Sword Heart and Zither Soul!"

"Why?"

"If I can only injure people from afar using sound waves, once I encounter someone with deep internal energy who gets close, I will lack the ability to protect myself."

Xie Juner shook her head and said: "I do not wish to be a burden to my husband; I want to be able to protect myself as much as possible."

Lin Xiao smiled with relief. Actually, after getting to know her, he found that this princess was quite sensible.

"You are my woman; it is only natural for me to protect you."

"However, Sword Heart and Zither Soul is indeed the most suitable for you. That is what I thought as well."

Hearing that her choice was the same as her man's, Xie Juner felt a sense of mutual understanding and was as happy as if she had eaten honey.

Lin Xiao immediately spent 12,000 prestige from the shop to purchase the expensive "Sword Heart and Zither Soul" technique.

He also spent 5,000 prestige directly to acquire a special-grade power pill, which could instantly add 50 years of cultivation.

If he really had to rely on Xie Juner to practice it herself, it would take forever. Anyway, with the financial resources and connections of the Marquis of Linyuan, he could certainly make up for this bit of prestige.

[Ding! Host has spent over 40,000 prestige in the shop, triggering a milestone reward: obtained one "lucky fortune bag"!]

Damn!!

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. An Immortal Grade lucky fortune bag—this was true luck!!

He handed the exquisite manual for Sword Heart and Zither Soul to Xie Juner first, letting her practice it.

He secretly hummed "Good Fortune Comes" a few times to himself on the side.

After finishing the blessing ritual, Lin Xiao excitedly opened the lucky fortune bag...

[Ding! Host has successfully opened one lucky fortune bag!]

[Obtained one "Marrow Cleansing Pill"!]

Marrow Cleansing Pill (Immortal Grade): Can cleanse the marrow and cut the tendons, elevating any aptitude to "Heaven Grade," with a very small probability of elevating it to "Immortal Grade."

[Obtained "Dragon Slaying Sword"!]

Dragon Slaying Sword (Immortal Grade): I have a sword that can slay flood dragons!

[Obtained "Zhu Xian Sword Formation Fragment"!]

Zhu Xian Sword Formation (Immortal Grade): The ultimate sword dao profound mystery passed down from the mythological era. It is said that after fully mastering it, the one who sets up the formation can transcend the laws of the Heavenly Dao, but most of it has been lost. (1/4)

...

Lin Xiao blinked hard, trying to confirm that he wasn't dreaming!

Zhu Xian Sword Formation!? Could this be that great killing formation from the legends created by the Master of Tongtian!?

This thing is actually a "cultivation technique"?

Come to think of it, his Indestructible Golden Body fragment was also obtained from a lucky fortune bag, which led to where he is now.

"The first volume is already Immortal Grade. If it were collected in full... how heaven-defying would it be?"

Needless to say, having tasted the sweetness of the Indestructible Golden Body beforehand, this was the direction he would focus on next!

Lin Xiao directly entered "Zhu Xian Sword Formation Fragment" into the wish-granting treasure box.

Seeing that he could indeed make a wish, but...

10,000 comprehension points for 1 point of progress.

1,000 prestige for 1 point of progress!

In other words, he would need one million comprehension points, or one hundred thousand prestige, to get the second volume!

Lin Xiao sighed deeply. He still needed those comprehension points to improve his cultivation realm; he couldn't possibly use them for this exchange.

Then his biggest hope was using prestige.

Although the "Dragon Slaying Sword" was good, he currently used a blade, and since he needed prestige more, he had no choice but to exchange it.

After all, cultivation techniques were a higher priority than weapons.

60,000 prestige, obtained!

[Ding! Obtained achievement "Wealthy Throughout the Land" (Immortal Grade), exchanged over 88,888 prestige! prestige + 10,000]

Unexpected joy!

Lin Xiao couldn't help but grin. Just like that, he had over 70,000 prestige!

He would find a way to collect more graded equipment; at the very least, the second volume of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation shouldn't be hard to get.

As for that "Marrow Cleansing Pill," Lin Xiao was a bit troubled.

Elevating aptitude to Heaven Grade, with a very small probability of Immortal Grade—it was good stuff!

Not only did many of his women need it, but even he could take a gamble, eat one, and give it a try—what if he really attained Immortal Grade aptitude?

After thinking it over, he had no choice but to keep it for now and not use it.

Just at this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching the Generals Mansion.

Impatiently, he casually flicked a burst of true energy, which pierced directly through the courtyard wall!

Daoist Cang Zhu behind it was so scared that he hurriedly jumped up!

"Lin Xiao! Do not strike! This Daoist has an important matter to discuss with you!!"
