what the hell were secret manuals and longevity pills?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking across the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was a large faction or a small sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one didn’t hide their own secret manuals like their lifeblood?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And longevity, it scared them all silly in an

temptation?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the three of Wind, Cloud, and Duan Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longevity might still be somewhat out of reach for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But becoming

you are all making such a fuss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should know that in the Divine Weapon Hall, not only are there Heaven-grade weapons, but even Immortal-grade and God-grade ones are all there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not only that, the number of manuals in the Manual Pavilion is countless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether you’ve heard of them or not, everything is available.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is the best reference treasure trove for everyone to create their own manuals!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides that, the Pill Tower is even more exaggerated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation pills, beauty-preserving pills, breakthrough pills, longevity pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is nothing you can’t think of that isn’t inside!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every sentence he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies of the four shook once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four were completely numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back at their experiences and knowledge in the first half of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt they had lived their lives in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliance erupting from their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was like a lecher who had been thirsty for decades seeing a woman stripped of her clothes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian looked at him with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the price of a Longevity Pill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, is my Sword Twenty-Two recorded in the Manual Pavilion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, Cloud, and Duan Lang were all spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all cast their gazes toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expecting his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Taibai’s expression remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword Twenty-Two is not in the Manual Pavilion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, Sword Twenty-Three is complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And there is more than one type of Sword Twenty-Three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are, respectively, Destroying Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three, Sentient

immediately following, he became flushed with excitement and laughed loudly toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My path is not lonely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My path is not lonely!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, Cloud, and Duan Lang, who had also heard this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had reactions even more exaggerated than Dugu
