16: Taiyin True Water, Star Meteorite Iron!

Lu Yuan's mind slightly trembled.

Five-Colored Soil is a rare treasure in the Cultivation World; if Spirit Medicine is planted in Five-Colored Soil, the growth cycle of the Spirit Medicine can be greatly shortened.

With this item, he only had the last two Heavenly Treasures left before he could switch to cultivating the Great Five Elements Chaos Art.

After Lu Yuan silently returned to Longevity Peak.

Outside the Immortal Cave, an aged but vigorous voice rang out.

"Disciple Jiang Wuya requests an audience with Old Ancestor."

A cold arc curved up at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth.

He did not get up, merely speaking calmly, "Come in."

The Immortal Cave's stone door opened.

Grand Elder Jiang Wuya slowly walked in.

His gaze immediately fell upon Lu Yuan.

When he saw that Lu Yuan's complexion was rosy, his aura stable, and there was no sign of Qi and Blood Decline, his heart suddenly tightened.

Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?

This old fellow wasn't injured at all.

He became even more cautious in his heart.

"Grand Elder, may I ask why you have come?" Lu Yuan's tone was as calm as water.

Jiang Wuya quickly composed himself, forcing out an expression of utmost loyalty and concern.

He took out a Jade Box from his Storage Pouch and presented it with both hands.

"Old Ancestor, this Disciple heard that you suffered a dao injury at the Immortal Burial Ridge, and this Disciple has been uneasy day and night."

His voice was filled with sorrow: "This Disciple is incompetent and unable to share Old Ancestor's worries. I could only exhaust half of my life's savings to obtain this longevity pill from Medicine King Valley. This pill can extend life by fifty years. I hope Old Ancestor accepts it to resolve the Sect's crisis."

He spoke with great emotion, acting as if he truly were a loyal subject who had dedicated his life to the Sect and the Old Ancestor.

Lu Yuan looked at him and sneered inwardly.

He took the Jade Box and opened it.

A Medicinal Pill, emitting a rich Medicinal Fragrance but mixed with a trace of imperceptible Death Qi, lay quietly inside.

"You are thoughtful." Lu Yuan praised him. "I appreciate your good intentions."

He did not expose him on the spot.

He was still waiting for the True Monarch Wan Shou to take the bait willingly.

Furthermore, to make the performance more convincing.

He took out the longevity pill directly in front of Jiang Wuya and swallowed it without hesitation.

Of course, this was merely a Distraction Technique.

With his current cultivation, deceiving a mere Golden Core Cultivator was extremely simple.

The Medicinal Pill, the moment it entered his mouth, was enveloped by his Nirvana True Fire and refined into ash.

However, in Jiang Wuya's eyes.

The Old Ancestor had truly consumed that Medicinal Pill.

A flash of uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy instantly appeared in his eyes.

It succeeded.

The time was about to be ripe.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed respectfully again: "It is this Disciple's duty to share Old Ancestor's worries. Since Old Ancestor has consumed the Medicinal Pill, this Disciple will not disturb your quiet cultivation."

Having said that, he proactively exited the Immortal Cave.

Lu Yuan sat within the Immortal Cave, continuously stabilizing his cultivation and trying to comprehend the ethereal Soul Transformation Realm.

Another day passed.

11 PM - 1 AM quietly arrived.

This time there were three insignificant white intelligence reports, which held little value for him.

Lu Yuan glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

It seemed that relying solely on daily random refreshes to gather the Five Elements Heavenly Treasures was unrealistic.

Looking at his remaining twelve thousand one hundred Destiny Points, he no longer hesitated.

"System, retrieve intelligence regarding Water-attributed or Metal-attributed Heavenly Treasures."

[Targeted intelligence retrieval Rank set to: Purple.]

[Two intelligence reports meeting the criteria have been retrieved, requiring the consumption of Destiny Points: 2000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"Confirm."

As Lu Yuan's thought moved, two thousand Destiny Points instantly vanished. The next moment, two brand-new purple intelligence reports appeared before his eyes.

[Purple Intelligence: The Water-attributed Heavenly Treasure, Taiyin True Water, is located deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Azure Water Cold Pool.

Note: This cold pool is the Lair of an Nascent Soul Stage Mid-Stage Azure Flood Dragon King. This Demon King is cruel by nature and possesses extremely strong territorial awareness [Click to view coordinates]]

[Purple Intelligence: The Metal-attributed Heavenly Treasure, Astral Meteorite Iron, is currently stored within the Four Seas Merchant Guild in the Zhao Kingdom Capital.

Its appearance is indistinguishable from ordinary Profound Iron Ore, so it was discarded as Artifact Refining scrap in a corner of the Guild's warehouse. Note: This item is the core of a star that fell from outside the heavens, containing the purest Metal Sharpness Qi. [Click to view location]]

The two intelligence reports were clear and straightforward.

A trace of joy flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Once he gathered the remaining two Five Elements Heavenly Treasures, he could switch Cultivation Techniques.

He immediately decided to split his forces into two routes.

Lu Yuan summoned Gu Qingxue again, detailed the location and characteristics of the special Profound Iron Ore to her, and instructed her to immediately send a reliable Disciple to the Four Seas Merchant Guild to purchase it back.

As for himself, his figure flashed, and he headed directly toward the Azure Water Cold Pool deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains... The Ten Thousand Mountains were rampant with Yao Beasts and filled with Poisonous Miasma.

In a secluded valley, there was a massive cold pool spanning a hundred miles.

The pool water was an eerie azure green, and the surface was perpetually shrouded in a layer of persistent Cold Mist. Ordinary Cultivators would have the Cold Qi penetrate their bones just by approaching it.

This was the territory of the Azure Flood Dragon King.

Lu Yuan's figure appeared silently above the cold pool.

His Divine Sense, which was at the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage Great Perfection, merely swept across the area and instantly perceived the entire cold pool's topography.

Deep at the bottom of the pool, inside an Immortal Cave made of Cold Jade, a massive Flood Dragon, over a hundred zhang long, with a single horn on its head and covered in azure scales, was coiled, absorbing the Origin Qi of the cold pool.

It was precisely that Nascent Soul Stage Mid-Stage Azure Flood Dragon King.

Lu Yuan had no intention of hiding his aura whatsoever.

His vast and abyssal Pressure, like the collapse of the heavens, directly enveloped the cold pool below.

"Roar."

The Azure Flood Dragon King at the bottom of the pool was instantly startled awake.

A tyrannical, Bloodthirsty aura rushed up from the bottom of the pool into the sky.

"What Insignificant Junior dares trespass into this King's territory? You seek death!"

Accompanied by an angry roar, a massive water pillar shot out from the pool, soaring straight into the sky.

The massive body of the Azure Flood Dragon King also broke through the water, bringing forth ten thousand waves.

Its lantern-sized Vertical Pupils stared intensely at Lu Yuan, who was floating in mid-air, filled with cruelty and disdain.

In its view, although the human Cultivator before it had a powerful aura, daring to trespass into its territory alone was simply courting death.

However, the next moment.

The disdain on its face turned into endless terror.

Lu Yuan was seen slowly raising his hand.

An Ancient Long Saber, completely black, with countless Vengeful Spirits seemingly roaring on its blade, appeared in his hand.

The Taiyin Exterminating Evil Saber.

This was a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, a spoil of war he obtained by slaying a Demonic Path Magnate in his early years.

What made the Azure Flood Dragon King even more terrified was.

A wisp of crimson flame, emitting an aura of holiness and destruction, slowly rose from the blade of the saber.

That flame seemed to be the most feared Natural Enemy deep within its Bloodline.
