Chapter 357: Qingyun's Choice, Unrivaled Boldness (2/7, please subscribe)

Tongtian Peak.

"I've already asked clearly." The Water Qilin ended the chat and recounted the matter in full. "This thing is extremely precious. Whether to sell it or not is up to you."

Dao Xuan looked toward Tian Pangpang, Shui Yue, and the others and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, what do you think we should do with it?"

Tian Pangpang deliberated: "Of course we should sell it. The Zhu Xian is good, but it's already broken. Rejoining it would take quite a bit of effort, and besides—even if it hides the so-called secret of Heaven's Opening, can we comprehend it?"

"We can't." Dao Xuan had a clear self-assessment. "We've controlled the Zhu Xian for so many years—if we could comprehend it, we would have long ago. There's no need to wait until now."

Wanjian Er nodded: "Well said. What matters most now is the immortal chance for longevity. If we miss this opportunity, it'll be hard to get another one like it in the future."

"No." The Water Qilin shook its head. "The chat group isn't going anywhere. I can sell the Zhu Xian Sword anytime."

Dao Xuan and the others' expressions froze.

Of course they knew the Water Qilin could sell the Zhu Xian Sword at any time.

But they couldn't afford to wait.

The Water Qilin was a divine beast with a long lifespan—how long were their lifespans in comparison?

If they waited another few decades, or a hundred years, and their lifespans ran out, wouldn't they regret it deeply?

This was a chance for longevity, not something else.

"Sell it." Dao Xuan made the decision. "After selling it, we'll consult the Dao Lord again and see what cultivation method we should choose."

Tian Pangpang suggested: "Right, since we've cultivated the Taixuan Immortal Martial Dao, shouldn't there be a statue of the Dao Lord in our Ancestral Master 07's great hall?"

Cangsong agreed: "Junior Brother Tian is right."

Shui Yue laughed: "Then let's wait for Ling Zun to bring back a portrait of the Dao Lord, and carve a statue of the Ancestral Master."

【Ding. You sold the Broken Zhu Xian Sword and obtained 100 million points.】

After selling the Zhu Xian Sword, Ling Zun said again: "Which of you will go fetch the She Hun?"

Dao Xuan said: "I'll go. Could it be that this item also has some mystery?"

"No." The Water Qilin shook its head. "Dao Lord-gege said we can sell it and exchange it for some points."

Tian Pangpang: "This kind of evil object is better off sold."

Dao Xuan nodded, mounted his flying sword, and returned in an instant. In his hand was already a two-foot short staff wreathed in black qi, with dark red surging within it—fiercely malevolent to the extreme.

Tian Pangpang frowned: "It really is an evil object. With this thing in hand, even someone with firm resolve would likely struggle to resist its erosion and walk the evil path."

Dao Xuan nodded: "This thing is indeed extremely malevolent. It shouldn't remain in our sect."

He handed it to the Water Qilin.

"Ling Zun, I'll leave this item to you to handle."

The Water Qilin took it and contacted Shangcheng directly.

【Ding. You sold the She Hun Staff and obtained 50,000 points.】

"Another 50,000 points." The Water Qilin was very happy. "Looks like our world's level is pretty good—a single She Hun can sell for this much!"

"I remember there are lots of treasures down the mountain—Xuan Yan Mirror, Heavenly Emperor Medicine, Heavenly Book, Black Water Xuan Snake, Yellow Bird… wow, so many points." The Water Qilin daydreamed, a silly smile blooming on its childish face.

Everyone who heard this looked shocked.

Good grief—you won't even let go of other sects' sect-protecting magic treasure, the Xuan Yan Mirror.

"Ahem… Ling Zun, shouldn't we be buying something now?" Dao Xuan reminded.

The Water Qilin came back to its senses: "Mm, I'll ask Dao Lord-gege what cultivation method suits our Qingyun Gate."

A moment later.

"Dao Lord-gege said, if Qingyun still wants to follow the path of the Sword Immortal lineage, then choose the Innate Pure Yang Art or the Heavenly Sword Art." Ling Zun's voice was crisp, and like a little adult it shook its head. "If not, then just pick whatever. Every cultivation method I create is pretty good."

"That's exactly what Dao Lord-gege said."

Saying so, it once again went through the characteristics of the various cultivation methods.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt their breathing quicken.

Dao Xuan looked at everyone and asked: "I wonder what my junior brothers and sisters think?"

Tian Pangpang deliberated: "Qingyun Gate is the leader of the righteous path and needs to subdue demons and refine evil. The Great Sun Divine Fire Seal has six seal forms, exquisitely wonderful—we can choose it."

Cangsong shook his head: "We were previously Sword Immortals who rode swords to fly through the sky. We should choose the Heavenly Sword Art."

"It should be the Great Sun Divine Fire Seal!"

"The Heavenly Sword Art is better!"

Seeing the two about to argue again, Dao Xuan said boldly: "No need to argue. Buy both!"

Tian Pangpang was shocked: "That's 30 million points!"

"Even if we spend 60 million, we still have over 40 million left—enough to buy many elixirs and cultivate to a high realm." Dao Xuan had everything well in hand, brimming with confidence. "Then we can explore the world, seek out rare heavenly treasures and sell them for money. As Ling Zun said, our world shouldn't be bad—the things that can be sold for points won't be few."

"What Sect Master-senior brother says is very true."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all agreed.

The treasures Ling Zun could think of—how could they not think of them too?

It's just that they were, after all, adults, unlike Ling Zun's young mental age, and simply hid their thoughts in their hearts.

Being righteous doesn't work with just a bellyful of righteous qi alone.

As Sect Master, Dao Xuan was all too familiar with this kind of thing.

"Ling Zun, besides cultivation methods, what other elixirs are there?" Dao Xuan asked again.

Ling Zun: "There's the Marrow Washing Pill, Hundred Herbs Jin Dan, Purple Yang Pill, and the Grand Prime Pill that Dao Lord-gege just put on the shelves. Your realm is still low, so buy the Purple Yang Pill and Marrow Washing Pill first."

"The Marrow Washing Pill can improve aptitude, and the Purple Yang Pill can break through the current realm. As for the Hundred Herbs Jin Dan, it can be given to the disciples."

Dao Xuan: "What about the Grand Prime Pill?"

"Your realm is still low—it's not really suitable for this elixir." The Water Qilin waved its hand, its face full of disdain.

Dao Xuan: "Our realm is still low?"

"What else!" The Water Qilin was speechless. "Even counting the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, how big an area could you blast apart? A true qi realm cultivator can already flatten a city with one palm strike. And the Grand Primordial Elixir is an elixir meant for Divine Ability realm experts."

"Flatten a city with one palm strike?" Dao Xuan and the others once again felt a wave of shock.

Fine, the Immortal-Slaying Sword was indeed badass, but the people wielding it were simply too weak to bring out its true power.

Otherwise, even an empty husk of a Heaven-Opening divine artifact would still be an unmatched existence.

"Then let's buy what the Spirit Venerable suggested. Apart from that, does the Spirit Venerable have any other recommendations?"

The Water Qilin pondered: "Everyone in the group has a cave-heaven world. Our Green Cloud Sect should buy two as well—one for me, one for you all. Cave-heavens can be used to grow spiritual herbs and exchange them for points. Very cost-effective."

"Buy!"

"What about divine weapons?"

"Buy!"

"How about storage rings?"

"Buy!"

After a great deal of fuss, Dao Xuan bought in one breath seven King-tier divine weapons, a hundred Purple Sun Elixirs, a hundred Marrow-Washing Elixirs, seven high-grade storage rings, one cave-heaven, and two cultivation methods, spending nearly sixty-four million points—truly extravagant.
