Chapter 221: 79: Illusion Spirit Grass

“I’m really sorry for making you wait…”

Ouyang Hai observed Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan also scrutinized this suddenly appearing figure.

As guessed, it must be the expert spoken of by Yue Longxiao, coming from the headquarters.

Although the opposite party had not displayed his cultivation, he exuded an extremely strong oppressive feeling—one didn’t need to look to understand that, with the strength he possessed, a hundred of him, pooled together, would still be incapable of causing the slightest disturbance.

“You’re too polite…”

Seeing his attitude, Ouyang Hai was startled and hurriedly stood up.

He felt equally under pressure.

“This…”

Seeing Elder Ouyang’s reaction, Yue Longxiao blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Source: novgo.co

Am I seeing this right…? Why does it feel like Elder Ouyang is somewhat fearful of the other party?

Zhang Xuan was equally puzzled.

As expected of someone from the Wanxiang Sect headquarters, he seemed quite polite…

“Master Yue explained in detail that he wanted to take these three talents for better training, and I’ve also discussed wanting to obtain some benefits. What do you think, elder?”

Without much hesitation, Zhang Xuan asked directly.

Seeing that he was really willing to give up the three talents, Ouyang Hai’s eyes reddened with excitement, “That’s only right… Ask for whatever you want, Vice Hall Master Ling. Our Wanxiang Sect can fulfill it; we surely won’t refuse.”

“That’s great!”

Seeing how agreeable the other party was, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “I want… a sufficient number of Destiny Plates!”

“That’s simple, but… I was in a hurry when I left and didn’t bring many. Could I perhaps make it up with other items?”

Ouyang Hai looked over cautiously.

Destiny Plates were plentiful at the headquarters; he didn’t lack them at all, so he naturally wouldn’t carry them around. Unexpectedly, this expert wanted just that…

This felt like asking for the price of the imperial jade seal, and him responding he wanted two bags of rice…

“Alright, but the items must be precious; I don’t want just anything!”

Zhang Xuan said.

“Of course…”

Ouyang Hai nodded repeatedly, flipped his wrist, and a jade bottle appeared in front of them, “Here are two Life Struggle Divine Pills. When a Destiny Master competes for life, consuming one increases the chances of success!”

“Life Struggle Pill?”

Yue Longxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

A 7-star Destiny Master qualifies to compete for life, meaning the two divine pills in front of them were effective even for such high-level powerhouses…

Directly presenting them, truly worthy of an elder from the headquarters, so generous!

As he was in shock, he saw Vice Hall Master Ling raising an eyebrow slightly, “That’s it?”

Zhang Xuan was indeed a bit unhappy.

These two pills were very precious, but of little use to him!

Not to mention his insufficient cultivation level, even if his cultivation were sufficient, such pills weren’t of great help to him.

It would be better to give him more Heavenly Mandate Vitality!

“Of course not…”

Ouyang Hai hurriedly waved his hand.

As expected of an unparalleled expert, he really couldn’t be deceived…

He hesitated for a moment, clenched his teeth, and took out another jade bottle, “This is a tier-5 destiny, belonging to a branch of destiny ‘Power,’ which I acquired during an opportunity. Since it doesn’t match my practice, I have never used it. I will now gift it to you!”

“Tier-5 destiny?”

Zhang Xuan was startled, took it casually, and couldn’t help but look inside the jade bottle.

Indeed, there was a water-like destiny, swirling inside, radiating strong oppression and power.

It seems these fragments of the heavens, not only could he replicate and gift them himself, but real powerful experts could also do so, even completely separating them from a human body.

These… weren’t recorded in the Heaven Mandate Hall of Han Yuan City, probably due to the insufficient tier.

Moreover, judging by the other’s tone, these fragments of the heavens appeared to have different tiers, which was akin to his own guess; just unsure how a tier-4 compares to Mo Dao Destiny, whether higher or lower.

Of course, regardless of the tier, for him to look so pained, this thing must be extremely precious, perhaps not purchasable with money.

“Yes! Although it’s not the highest tier, its value lies in its rarity. Currently, there is only one in the world; I was just lucky to obtain it…”

Ouyang Hai’s face turned red and said, “Of course, I also know, these fragments of the heavens really need to suit one to be forged, and since it’s only tier-5, the help to you isn’t great, but this is the best item I can provide…”

This object, although precious, if the other party couldn’t forge it, it would just be a decoration.

Just like him, who had it for decades, always holding it in his hand. Let alone forging, he couldn’t even find a suitable person to pass it on to.

He brought it out now because there were no more precious things left.

Even a Spirit pinnacle Source Artifact wouldn’t catch such a high-level expert’s eyes…

Source Artifacts are divided into levels: daylight robbery, middle-tier, high-tier, Spirit pinnacle, among others.

The Han Ming Armor is what’s called a daylight robbery Source Artifact; the Cold Nether Sword, improved by Zhang Xuan, had reached an intermediate tier, but it was the lowest of the intermediate tier, not considered very strong.

Of course, Ouyang Hai didn’t know these details, and he thought such a high-level expert wouldn’t need weapons.

“Fine then!”

Seeing the other party say this, Zhang Xuan was displeased but had no other options.

It seems that the representative from the Wanxiang Sect, although not weak, isn’t very affluent either…

Shaking his head and looking at the flowing water inside the jade bottle, he just wanted to feel what this so-called “momentum” actually was when suddenly, the Library of Heaven’s Path shook violently.

Whoosh!

This 5-tier Destiny vanished in an instant, the next moment it had been devoured, linked to his own Emotion Destiny.

Upon entering the Library of Heaven’s Path, Zhang Xuan immediately sensed something was amiss.

This Destiny that contains “momentum,” was only the size of a thumb in the jade bottle, but inside the library, it seemed like the size of a room. Not to mention emotions, just the comparison with Mo Dao who had reached the second realm, seemed like a toy and not worth mentioning.

“5-tier Destinies are this huge… What about 4-tier ones? 3-tier ones?” Zhang Xuan was perplexed.

What he had thought was ordinary now seemed to be quite precious!

No wonder it hurts so much.

Unlike his astonishment, Ouyang Hai, on the side, only felt dizzy at this scene, even more shocked than when he had just seen Sun Qiang disperse the lightning tribulation with one hand.

5-tier Destiny, although not too powerful, was also not weak. The fact that it was easily absorbed into the body without emitting any aura indicated that this Destiny was well-suppressed by the opponent’s cultivated destiny.

Only one possibility remained: the Destiny this person cultivated must be above 5-tier!

Given that his own cultivated Destiny is 4-tier, achieving this seemed impossible, which implies that the opponent’s Destiny could very likely be higher… possibly 3-tier!

As for anything higher, he dared not even contemplate that.

3-tier Destiny, in the entire Source World, there are only 99 such paths. Could it be… he is one of those 99 Pseudo Immortals?

But, he had heard the names of these people and knew none named Ling Buyang!

“A disguise!”

A thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

Now, even a fool would understand that this so-called “Ling Buyang” was most likely a pseudonym.

“Anything else?”

Now that this matter was inside the Library of Heaven’s Path, Zhang Xuan felt no need to pursue it further and looked over once again.

“There is also a strand of Illusion Spirit Grass, which I acquired from an opportunity a long time ago but have never used, I will gift it to Vice Hall Master Ling!”

Ouyang Hai once again gritted his teeth and took out a jade box.

This item was intended for his own use after a breakthrough, but now that he considered that the opponent might possess a 3-tier Destiny, his intentions shifted.

Straightaway bringing it out, he considered it a form of building connections in advance.

“Illusion Spirit Grass?” Zhang Xuan opened the jade box, touched it with his finger, and the Library of Heaven’s Path boomed, consuming more than 50,000 Heavenly Mandate Vitality, subsequently producing a book.

“Such a huge consumption?”

His eyelid twitched, and Zhang Xuan felt like crying.

Investigating a medicinal herb and consuming 50,000… Has Heavenly Mandate Vitality depreciated this quickly?

If such situations persisted, all his previous accumulations might soon be gone…

He had thought of letting this person throw a punch to gauge his flaws, but now it seemed, with the previously accumulated Heavenly Mandate Vitality, it simply wasn’t enough!

Filled with frustration, he still opened the book.

“Illusion Spirit Grass, an 8-star medicinal herb, forged into Illusion Spirit Pills, can help a Destiny Master deduce ten Life Paths… has excellent effects even for Destiny Masters who have reached the Life-taking Realm…”

Quickly finishing the reading, Zhang Xuan was astounded.

No wonder it consumed so much, the herb was indeed precious.

An 8-star Destiny Master, who has the chance to take lives, each one of them stood at the pinnacle of the world. The usefulness of this herb to them was evident from its fearfulness.

Stored in the New World.

Although he currently couldn’t use it, given its value, it was essential to keep it.

Worst case, selling it in the future would definitely fetch a good price.

Seeing his satisfaction, Ouyang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, flipping his wrist, and a pile of Destiny Plates appeared before them: “These are the Destiny Plates I mentioned earlier. I’ve only brought about two thousand… I am really embarrassed…”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes momentarily darkened with excitement.

Originally, since the other party mentioned bringing few, he had no expectations, thinking that having a few tens or hundreds, even at most would be it. He never expected the other party to bring out over two thousand…

This was more than what the Han Yuan Royal Family had accumulated over countless years.

Lucky he hadn’t brought them out earlier; otherwise, he might have considered it sufficient and wouldn’t have asked for anything else.

“That’s enough, that’s enough…”

Zhang Xuan nodded satisfactorily as he gathered the Destiny Plates.

Truly a wealthy major player from the Wanxiang Sect.

“I’ve taken the items, and ordinarily, these three talents should immediately leave with you, but… I still have one more matter I’d like to clarify in advance! If you can manage it…”

As Zhang Xuan was about to express his concerns, a thunderous shout came from outside the courtyard.

“Ling Buyang, come out immediately!”

Everyone turned their heads and immediately saw Min Jiangtao calmly sitting on an Aerial Origin Beast, his face cold as he looked inside the room.

Seeing the other’s rudeness, Ouyang Hai immediately narrowed his eyes.
