408: Hand in the elixir

Jiang Taishen tossed the Storage Ring to Lu Xingchen and chuckled, "Xiao Chen, I've looked at this Storage Ring. Did you move the entire warehouse of Medicine King Valley back? No wonder they were willing to send a Saint Realm expert to intercept you."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It was just a fluke. Teacher, the Lingyun Sect is currently in a developmental stage. I've decided to hand all these Spirit Medicine over to the Sect to aid its development."

Hearing this, Jiang Taishen was greatly surprised.

"What? The combined value of these Spirit Medicine already exceeds 100 million gold coins. Are you really willing to hand all of them over?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I don't need so much myself. It's useless to keep them. Even if they were converted into gold coins, they would just be a pile of numbers."

"From the moment I thought about taking the Spirit Medicine, I intended to hand them over to the Sect. Teacher and my Three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters have been incredibly kind to me; it's time for me to give back to the Sect!"

Hearing this, Jiang Taishen nodded slightly.

"Then I will thank you on behalf of all the Disciples and Elders of the Lingyun Sect. You will be credited with a great merit for this. You can make any request of me!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I have a request now. Teacher, the 'Instant Flash' you demonstrated earlier was incredibly powerful. I want to learn it too, but I can't comprehend it on my own."

Hearing this, Jiang Taishen burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Then I'll give you special one-on-one guidance until you learn it. However, this matter cannot offset your merit; a teacher teaching a student is part of their duty. If you have any other requests in the future, feel free to ask me."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart filled with joy, and he softly said, "In that case, I thank you, Teacher!"

Jiang Taishen waved his hand.

"It's what I should do. However, I don't think you have time to study with me right now. The Lingyun Sect's new Disciple competition is starting in three days. Since you've taken in Mu Ruxue, you should be responsible for her, right? You should guide her these three days to help her with her final sprint."

Lu Xingchen smacked his head and said with a wry smile, "That's right! If Teacher hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it. Things have been too busy lately! Alright, I'll take care of Xiao Xue first; we'll put the special tutoring aside for now!"

Jiang Taishen waved his hand.

"Alright, go now!"

"Okay!"

After leaving Sect Master Peak, Lu Xingchen immediately opened his System panel to check his attributes.

He had been busy rushing and fighting before and hadn't had time to look.

Excellent, another step closer to the Saint Realm!

Immediately, he took out the shadow sword and the Shadow Sword Art.

After its quality was upgraded to low-grade heaven rank, the shadow sword could now conjure one more scabbard, reaching a total of six, making its flexibility even greater.

Relying on the shadow sword's displacement skill, Lu Xingchen had often turned the tide in dangerous situations and defeated powerful enemies.

He was truly fond of this spirit sword.

However, not only did the number of scabbards increase, but the strength of the shadow sword also improved significantly. In future battles, he would have greater confidence.

With the upgrade of the Shadow Sword Art's grade, more sword moves and techniques appeared within it.

With the help of the System, Lu Xingchen merely touched the scroll, and all these sword moves were imprinted in his mind, as if he had practiced them for many years.

After completing all of this, he spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew towards Lingyuan Peak.

He actually felt a little guilty.

Although he was the Peak Master of Lingyuan Peak, he rarely managed affairs. He was either Cultivating or going out to fight, and the internal affairs of the Peak were entirely handled by the Three Elders.

After meeting the Three Elders, he learned about the recent situation of Lingyuan Peak and gave each of them an eighth-grade pill before dismissing them.

By the time he arrived at Mu Ruxue's Immortal Cave, it was already sunset.

The setting sun's afterglow shone on Lu Xingchen's face, giving him a warm feeling and improving his mood slightly.

He gently knocked on the door and waited for a moment before the young girl Mu Ruxue appeared before him.

She wore a long blue dress, her face was delicate and pretty, and her long black hair flowed down to her waist, looking more vibrant than before.

Lu Xingchen sighed inwardly, "How is this little girl getting prettier and prettier? It's fine for now while she's in the Lingyun Sect, but what if she goes out later and attracts a bunch of scoundrels?"

"But this is normal. She used to be hunted, always eating irregularly, and it was hard enough just to survive. Now that she's joined the Lingyun Sect, with abundant food and ample Spirit Medicine, she's bound to grow more plump and beautiful."

Seeing Lu Xingchen, Mu Ruxue's delicate face immediately bloomed into a bright smile.

"Teacher, you're back!"

She immediately bowed to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen gently helped her up and chuckled, "Yes, I went to Medicine King Valley, saw many sights, met many Prodigies, and gained some harvest."

Mu Ruxue softly said, "I heard that Teacher defeated Peng Yu at the Alchemist Convention, became the champion, and won the title of Pill King. That's simply too cool! As expected of Teacher!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It was just a fluke. Xiao Xue, the new Disciple competition is in three days. How are your preparations coming along?"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's face fell, and she softly said, "Still in preparation. I'm sorry, Teacher, I'm really useless. After Cultivating for so long, my Soul Power is still in the Spirit Realm Middle Stage and hasn't had a Breakthrough."

Lu Xingchen patted her head and chuckled, "That's very normal. The Realm division of Soul Power isn't as detailed as Dou Qi, and there's a huge gap between each small Realm. Even if they are both in the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, there are still differences in strength."

"Come on, give me a shot; let me see how far you've Cultivated!"

"Okay!"

Mu Ruxue clasped her hands, and Soul Power surged out, condensing into a white lotus in front of her chest, which then shot towards Lu Xingchen.

She used her full strength in this strike, holding nothing back.

Her Teacher was a Pill King, after all; there was no way he could be harmed by a junior like her.

So she had no reservations and went all out, aiming to satisfy her Teacher.

Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, extended his right hand and gently clapped forward, and a Soul handprint appeared before him.
