101: Red Pill

Jian Wuxie took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the bigwigs below the stage, "First, I want to thank my father, the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, Jian Wenxuan!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Wenxuan immediately stood up and proudly put his hands behind his back, saying, "Haha, everyone, I'm sorry, my son is just like this, he's just not low-key enough, haha..."

Looking at Jian Wenxuan's smug expression, the smile on Jian Wuxie's face became increasingly strange as he continued, "It was my father who taught me how to manage a household frugally... For example, not long ago in the Dark Thunder Ruins, I originally wanted to charge 10,000 Gold Coins to lead those who couldn't pass through the dungeon."

When Jian Wenxuan heard Jian Wuxie mention this, the smile on his face froze, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.

"It was my father who told me that 10,000 Gold Coins was too dark. So, he stepped in and helped me raise the price to 10,000 Spirit Stones, making me understand how to do business," Jian Wuxie said slowly with a look of gratitude.

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of Spiritual Void Master, Dehai, and Green Plum Spirit Child froze.

"After I helped my father earn tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, he told me to be frugal again, so he maliciously... uh... kindly deducted my monthly allowance," Jian Wuxie said, still looking grateful.

Spiritual Void Master stood up silently and gave Green Plum Spirit Child a look. Green Plum Spirit Child instantly understood his meaning, and spiritual power surged within his body, directly locking onto Jian Wenxuan.

Seeing this, Jian Wenxuan immediately wanted to slip away, but Monk Dehai, while smiling kindly, firmly locked onto him with his aura and patted his shoulder, saying, "Hehe, Benefactor Jian, where do you think you're going?"

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Jian Wenxuan quickly smiled apologetically, "Hehe, it's nothing. Aren't I going to get the Spirit Stones for you? I was just joking with you. I'll just return the Spirit Stones to you, won't I?"

After saying that, Jian Wenxuan painfully took out a Storage Pouch from his bosom and smiled, "I only have twenty thousand Spirit Stones in here. Isn't that... not enough?"

Green Plum Spirit Child snatched the Storage Pouch away, then threw a Jade Slip to Jian Wenxuan, saying, "It's fine. Just sign this Contract!"

Jian Wenxuan took the Contract and saw the familiar routine—the 'nine-out, thirteen-back' had appeared again.

With a bitter face, he imprinted his Divine Sense on the Contract, his heart aching. He had originally wanted to save it to go to Kelli's place to reinforce his wenyuan sword.

Seeing this, the three of them smiled again and said, "Hahaha, we were just joking too! As long as you've returned it, it's fine, it's fine!"

Jian Wuxie looked at the scene below the stage, smiled slightly, and continued, "Also, my father took the sect's..."

Hearing Jian Wuxie say this, Jian Wenxuan immediately shouted, "No more deductions! I'll add another thirty percent to your allowance!"

Jian Wuxie looked at Jian Wenxuan with an innocent face, but in his heart, he was laughing like crazy.

"Alright, my speech is over!" Jian Wuxie stopped while he was ahead and looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan looked at Jian Wenxuan, who was staring at Jian Wuxie with murderous eyes, and couldn't help but sigh. Jian Wuxie, you really are living like it's your last day. I wonder if there are 'Seven Wolves' belts in this world.

"Alright, Seria, please bring up the reward for the second place!" Lin Chuan cleared his mind and announced.

Seria stepped onto the stage gracefully, holding a golden gift box in her hands. She handed it to Jian Wuxie, smiled at him, and walked off the stage.

Jian Wuxie blushed, took the box, and stared fixedly at Seria as she walked off the stage in her red Qipao.

"Hehe, open it and see. Let's see how your luck is," Lin Chuan laughed.

Jian Wuxie did not open the box immediately. Instead, he placed it on the ground, pressed his hands together, and began to mumble something.

The many bigwigs below the stage were confused, not knowing what the kid was up to.

After a while, Jian Wuxie suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "Appear!"

Then he flipped open the box on the ground.

The box glowed brightly, and a long saber slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The blade of the long saber was very narrow, with one side being a sharp edge that glinted coldly. The tip of the blade looked extremely sharp.

The handle was much longer than a typical saber, allowing for a two-handed grip with room to spare. The entire blade was blood-red. As the light faded, everyone was surprised to find that the blade was actually covered with a layer of flames, burning quietly on it.

Jian Wuxie looked at the long saber on the ground in disbelief. He wanted to reach out and pick it up, but he was afraid of being burned by the flames and could only stand there in a daze.

After communicating with the System, Lin Chuan announced, "Jian Wuxie, your luck is amazing. This saber is called red pill. Pick it up and try it out!"

Jian Wuxie carefully reached out and grasped the handle. Seeing that the flames on the blade directly enveloped his hand, but he didn't feel any burning sensation, he grew bolder.

With a slight force, he lifted the long saber from the ground and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was very light.

He couldn't help but brandish it a few times, seeing that the flames on the blade showed no signs of extinguishing and were completely harmless to him.

Whether it was the bigwigs below the stage or the Cultivators in the Formation, they all stared blankly at the young man on the stage. The look of him holding a flaming long saber was quite cool!

Jian Wenxuan didn't care about teaching Jian Wuxie a lesson anymore. He immediately went onto the stage and carefully examined the 'red pill' in Jian Wuxie's hand. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

"Son, come, test the blade!" After saying that, Jian Wenxuan held the wenyuan sword across his chest, signaling Jian Wuxie to strike it.

Jian Wuxie naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity. He immediately raised his arm and swung the long saber, striking it directly against the wenyuan sword.

This strike didn't use any spiritual power. When the two weapons collided, they made a clanging sound of metal on metal.

The flames on the red pill actually spread directly onto the wenyuan sword, scaring Jian Wenxuan into quickly withdrawing his sword and retreating. He looked at the spot where his wenyuan sword had collided with the long saber.

"What?! How is this possible?" Jian Wenxuan looked at his wenyuan sword and saw a small notch.

His wenyuan sword was an Earth Rank Medium Grade weapon, yet it had been notched by Jian Wuxie's strike. What Rank was that saber?

The Dwarf Clan Chief, Great Master Copper Hammer, widened his eyes. Not for any other reason, but because the saber in Jian Wuxie's hand looked very familiar to him!

He quickly beckoned to his clansmen in the Formation behind him. When they came out, he instructed, "Where is the Weapon Manual we brought? Find it for me quickly."

Another Dwarf took out a Storage Pouch and produced a thick book made of beast skin, dropping it on the ground with a 'thud'.

"Clan Chief, I've been carrying it with me. Why do you want this?" the Dwarf asked.

Copper Hammer didn't pay him any attention. Instead, he threw himself onto the book. That's right, because the book on the ground was almost as thick as Copper Hammer was tall.
