Chapter 246: Two Golden-tier treasure chests opened in a row, the Lotus House upgrades

Li Li Lianhua stayed at the Sun Moon Divine Sect for a full half-day.

On one hand, Li Li Lianhua needed time to treat everyone who had been poisoned by the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill.

On the other hand, it was naturally because the Sun Moon Divine Sect needed to prepare the corresponding medical fees for Li Li Lianhua!

The middle and high-level management of the Sun Moon Divine Sect had all been poisoned by the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill, and now they were all cured.

It could be said that Li Li Lianhua had saved the entire middle and upper echelon of the Sun Moon Divine Sect; the medical fee given naturally could not be small!

Therefore, the Sun Moon Divine Sect had truly exhausted all their efforts this time. Upon learning that other treasures could also serve as medical fees, besides cash, they brought out numerous medicinal herbs and jewelry from their treasury.

In total, they gathered 800,000 in medical fees for Li Li Lianhua!

Li Li Lianhua was satisfied with this 800,000 in fees and naturally accepted it all.

Li Li Lianhua, who originally had 2.8 million in fees, saw his total rise to 3.6 million after accepting these!

Originally, it stood to reason that since Li Li Lianhua had finished all the treatments and received his fees, there was no need for him to stay at the Sun Moon Divine Sect any longer.

However, Li Li Lianhua was not in a hurry to leave.

After chatting with Ren Woxing for a while about the current situation in the Jiang Hu, Li Li Lianhua turned his gaze to Wen Hua and said, "Wen Hua, how has your Wu Gong been lately?"

"Divine Physician Li, I have mastered the sword techniques, and I have already cultivated my internal energy to the Grandmaster realm!" Wen Hua replied upon hearing Li Li Lianhua ask about his progress.

"Hmm, make a move, let me see," Li Li Lianhua nodded and said to Wen Hua.

These words made Wen Hua pause, but he quickly reacted, his face filled with joy as he drew his Wenjing Sword!

Previously, when Divine Physician Li taught him Wu Gong, besides giving him a diagram to comprehend sword intent, he had only tossed him a manual for internal energy and one for sword techniques, never paying him much mind afterward!

Now, was Divine Physician Li going to test his Wu Gong?

This meant he was prepared to offer guidance, right? Wen Hua was naturally happy.

Once the long sword was unsheathed, Wen Hua had no intention of holding back and lunged directly at Li Li Lianhua.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand instantly blossomed into several sword flowers.

In his hands, the Li Xiangyi Tai Sword could indeed be considered to have entered the hall and reached the room.

Seeing that Li Li Lianhua was going to test Wen Hua's Wu Gong, Ren Woxing and the other high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Divine Sect naturally widened their eyes, watching with curiosity.

Everyone in the Sun Moon Divine Sect knew how high Wen Hua's Wu Gong was.

After all, Wen Hua had already made his move when helping Ren Woxing fight for the position of Sect Leader!

However, how high Li Li Lianhua's Wu Gong was remained merely a rumor to the Sun Moon Divine Sect; they had never seen it before!

Now, could they witness Divine Physician Li make a move with their own eyes?

Naturally, everyone braced themselves and watched carefully.

It was not every day one had the fortune to see a Sword Immortal make a move.

*Ding ding ding!*

Wen Hua's sword technique was indeed exquisite, and with his Grandmaster realm cultivation, his power was also quite good!

More importantly, after cultivating for so long, Wen Hua's comprehension of sword intent had grown deeper and deeper!

Although Li Li Lianhua stood still, he merely used his Sword Control technique to passively defend against Wen Hua's attacks.

However, by gauging the amount of pressure Wen Hua's attacks exerted on him, Li Li Lianhua could get a fairly accurate sense of Wen Hua's strength.

After letting Wen Hua attack for over a hundred moves, Li Li Lianhua raised his palm and made a gesture to stop!

"Divine Physician Li, I have failed your teachings!" Wen Hua stopped, his expression filled with embarrassment and apology as he spoke to Li Li Lianhua!

Although he had never thought he could defeat Divine Physician Li, just now, Divine Physician Li had clearly done nothing but defend purely with his Sword Control technique, yet he had achieved nothing at all.

This made Wen Hua feel that he had failed Li Li Lianhua's teachings.

"To have achieved such results in cultivation and sword moves in less than a year is not bad at all!"

"However, for a sword cultivator, sword intent is paramount!"

"I have here a set of insights regarding the Dao of the sword; you may take it and study it well!"

Li Li Lianhua did not show any disappointment in Wen Hua; instead, he praised him!

As he spoke, he took out a copy of his own handwritten insights on the Dao of the sword.

This set of sword insights had been obtained from the hands of Hong Hong Xixiang!

Although he had used the secret manual given by Hong Hong Xixiang as a medical fee!

Still, there was no problem with him keeping a handwritten copy for himself.

It was just that the same secret manual could only be appraised once; he couldn't let himself repeatedly appraise it to exploit a bug!

Seeing that Li Li Lianhua had gifted him another secret manual, Wen Hua naturally accepted these sword insights with great joy, then opened it to take a look!

Wen Hua had, to a greater or lesser extent, gained some insights into his own sword intent.

Therefore, he still possessed some discernment regarding the Dao of the sword.

To Wen Hua, these insights into the Dao of the sword were simply profound and vast; after just a few glances, he felt as if he had obtained a priceless treasure!

"Good stuff, Divine Physician Li, these sword insights are truly good stuff. With this, I am confident I can reach the realm of a Sword Immortal within three years—no, two years!"

Forcing himself to suppress the urge to keep reading, Wen Hua said to Li Li Lianhua with delight!

"Mm, do not let these sword insights go to waste. These are the insights into the Dao of the sword from Lu Zu Lu Lu Dongxuan eight hundred years ago!" Li Li Lianhua nodded slightly and said to Wen Hua!

Lu Zu Lu Lu Dongxuan, the number one person under heaven eight hundred years ago? The legendary existence who carried both the Heavenly Dao and the Dao of the sword on his shoulders—his sword insights?

Once Li Li Lianhua’s words were spoken, everyone present was shaken by them.

Afterwards, they looked at the secret manual in Wen Hua’s hands, their eyes filled with amazement.

What is a peerless martial arts manual? This is what counts as a true peerless manual!

No wonder Wen Hua dared to boast that he would cultivate into a Sword Immortal in two years.

"Alright, keep this for yourself and study it well!"

Having said what needed to be said, Li Li Lianhua had no intention of staying any longer; after waving his hand, he turned and left Black Wood Cliff!

Ren Ren Yingying had asked him to come to Black Wood Cliff not just to treat the illnesses of the people in the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

In truth, it was also to have him provide support and stand as a backer, so as to gain Ren Woxing’s affirmation and make him agree to the matter between her and Wen Hua!

If one were to really speak of it, he counted as being on the man’s side. Since the woman’s side had already shown this attitude, could he not offer some support?

Therefore, he had brought out these sword insights.

On one hand, he and Wen Hua had the reality of a master-disciple relationship; since he had already cultivated to this point, there was no need for him to be stingy!

On the other hand, it was also to use this action to show Ren Woxing the relationship between himself and Wen Hua.

Someone capable of becoming the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect was naturally no fool. If he had spoken of this matter directly, it would have made it seem like he was using his status to pressure others, which might have had the opposite effect!

Therefore, it was enough for him to just touch upon the subject.

He figured Ren Woxing would know what he ought to do.

Li Li Lianhua had left, while Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying naturally had no intention of leaving.

Originally, Ren Woxing had just turned a blind eye to the matter of Ren Ren Yingying and Wen Hua eloping!

This time, Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying had specifically invited the Divine Physician back to the Sun Moon Divine Sect to help those in the middle and upper ranks remove the threat of the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill.

It could be said that both Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying had done a great service to the Sun Moon Divine Sect!

Xiang Wentian, standing to the side, naturally understood that Ren Woxing was unable to let go of his pride, so he took the initiative to plead on behalf of Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying, saying that the two were a match made in heaven!

Seeing Xiang Wentian speak up, the many high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Divine Sect naturally followed suit and pleaded as well!

Thus, faced with the pleas of the entire upper echelon of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Ren Woxing took the opportunity to step down from his high horse and agree to the marriage between Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying!

Although he hadn't managed to make Wen Hua join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, this was still a matter Ren Woxing felt regretful about.

However, if the two really were married, then this Wen Hua would be his son-in-law.

Even if he wasn't a member of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, if the sect were truly in trouble in the future, could he just stand by and watch?

Thinking of it this way, Ren Woxing’s mental knot was untied!

Besides, Ren Woxing had also heard Wen Hua’s boast earlier; Wen Hua had said he would reach the realm of a Sword Immortal within two years.

Having spent these days together, Ren Woxing also knew that Wen Hua was not someone who liked to brag; if he said that, was it really possible for him to become a Sword Immortal within two years?

Taking a step back, even if two years wasn't enough, what about three? Five?

Sooner or later he would become a Sword Immortal, right?

Good heavens, if he really insisted on having his own way and pushed a Sword Immortal son-in-law out the door, he would truly be the laughingstock of the Wu Lin, wouldn't he?

Having thought it through, that was the situation, and naturally, Ren Woxing half-reluctantly agreed to the marriage between Ren Ren Yingying and Wen Hua!

Upon receiving Ren Woxing’s approval, Wen Hua and Ren Ren Yingying were naturally very happy.

……

Setting aside the situation on Black Wood Cliff and how joyful it was!

On the other side, the Lotus Building was traveling along the road, not moving very fast!

However, Li Li Lianhua, lying on his bed and watching the scenery around him slowly recede, felt refreshed and relaxed!

At the same time, holding a book in his hands to read, his mind was completely immersed in it!

This book that Li Li Lianhua held in his hand was the insights regarding the Heavenly Dao given by Hong Hong Xixiang!

As a cultivator, these insights into the Heavenly Dao were naturally very important to Li Li Lianhua.

Reading more of them was also very helpful for the improvement of Li Li Lianhua’s state of mind!

Thus, with the Lotus Building swaying along, Li Li Lianhua had finally found a rare moment of leisure.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed!

During this half month, Li Li Lianhua had embodied the essence of a self-driving tour, wandering around, sightseeing, and sitting cross-legged to cultivate at night; he felt the days were relaxed and carefree!

Of course, during this half month, quite a few people had been tracking the whereabouts of the Lotus Building, and there were no shortage of people coming to seek medical treatment.

Thus, in this half month, Li Li Lianhua had also collected over 400,000 in medical fees, allowing his total medical fees to officially break through the 4 million mark!

It had taken half a month to finally raise his medical fees to the 4 million mark; who knew how long he would have to wait to reach 10 million.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Li Li Lianhua finally couldn't resist and exchanged for two more Gold-grade treasure chests!

Although the items opened from Diamond-grade treasure chests were truly good!

But the items opened from Gold-grade treasure chests also had great use for him!

Conversely, treasures like the Book of Man were too good, to the point that his current cultivation level could hardly fully utilize their effects.

In Li Li Lianhua’s view, perhaps Gold-grade treasure chests were more suitable for his current self!

After exchanging for two more Gold-grade treasure chests to see, Li Li Lianhua looked at the two golden, glittering chests before his eyes.

Then, with a heart full of anticipation, he slowly opened the first one.

Brilliant light bloomed once more, as it always did.
