Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 86: The Sword Sect's Visitors (Part )
On a starry night, two sword lights came whistling.

The mountain-guarding disciple of the Zhengyang Sect was dozing off in a daze when he was caught off guard by two figures that jumped down in front of him.

One old and one young, both wearing blue-white Taoist robes, on which a sharp sword piercing through the golden clouds was conspicuous.

The familiar style of the Taoist robes instantly gave several of the mountain guarding disciples a shudder. "Pure...Pure Yang Sword Sect?"

"Sword Sect Immortal Master?"

The leading disciple immediately stepped forward to greet him and saluted, "Greetings, Immortal Master!"

The visiting old man was obviously very anxious. He interrupted the disciple's greeting with a wave of his hand, "Jian Xu from the Pure Yang Sword Sect is seeking a visit. Go and inform him immediately!"

Watching the Zhengyang Sect's mountain-guarding disciple swiftly ascend the mountain, the young man following the old man frowned in confusion, "Master, if you are so anxious, why are you waiting here?"

Their Chunyang Sword Sect is the top existence in the entire Longxiong Province, and these four medium-sized sects have to rely on them for development.

Now that Master is willing to condescend to come to their Zhengyang Sect, it is a great honor for their Zhengyang Sect. How dare they make Master wait?
The old man paced back and forth, appearing extremely anxious. Upon hearing his disciple's question, he sighed and explained, "We came here in such a hurry that we don't have time to explain too much to you. There's something else behind the pill your Junior Brother Xiao Jian took, but I can't confirm it with just that one pill. I've come here to verify it. Ping'er, you must remember that we're here to ask for a favor, so you must maintain the right attitude!"

The young disciple's eyebrows were filled with doubt, but he still bowed and nodded, "Yes, Master."

The news of the arrival of the Pure Yang Sword Sect almost instantly alarmed the entire Zheng Yang Sect. In a short while, the Sect Master and a group of elders came down the mountain to greet them. "I didn't know that the Sword Sect elders had arrived. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

Jianxu stepped forward quickly, his tone urgent, "There's no need for so many people. Let's find a quiet place. We have something important to discuss."

The sect leader paused for a moment, his mind full of thoughts.

Important? How important?

Jianxu is a powerful elder in the Chunyang Sword Sect, so anything he personally does must be extraordinary.

Could it be that... our Zhengyang Sect's chance to take off has come?
Why has the Xianyi Sect been able to consistently hold the top spot in the Four Sects Competition for so many years? Isn't it simply because of their close relationship with the Chunyang Sword Sect?

Now the Chunyang Sword Sect has finally seen the potential of our Zhengyang Sect!
"Please, please, please!"

Arriving at the secret room, Jianxu stroked it with his palm, and a sandalwood red wooden box appeared out of thin air in front of the sect leader.

"Elder, this is..."

Jianxu lightly hooked his palm, and the wooden box opened naturally. Small pills shining with golden light occupied most of the box.

Jian Xu's expression was serious. "Excuse me, Sect Master. Who in the sect is responsible for purchasing and distributing orders? I'd like to know who refined this box of Golden Spirit Pills. The refiner of this box of pills is very important to our sect. I hope you can introduce me to someone."

"This..." The sect leader used his spiritual sense to look left and right but could not find anything unusual about this box of Five Elements Golden Spirit Pills. He also didn't understand why the elders from the Pure Yang Sword Sect attached so much importance to it.

But let alone finding a refiner for a box of pills, even if the Zhengyang Sect had to send out all its forces to find a cat, it would still have to be taken seriously.

"I'll have someone look for it."

Finding the origin is simple.

Each box of pills has the refiner's unique mark on it, and it is clear whether it is divided into money or pots.

When the eldest brother was called over, his face was filled with panic, "Sect... Sect Master?"

I just refined a box of Golden Spirit Pills, how come even the sect leader was alarmed?
The Sect Master made way, highlighting Jian Xu's identity. "It's the elders of the Pure Yang Sword Sect who want to see you, Xu Feng. No matter what the elders ask you, you must tell the truth!"

"No need to be so serious." Seeing the real boss appear, Jianxu, who had always had a stern face, smiled for the first time, which made the sect leader jealous.

"My dear friend, let me ask you, did you mix anything special into this box of pills?"

"Anything special?" The eldest brother looked bewildered, his mind blank due to nervousness. "Nothing special, I just refined it according to the recipe normally..."

As he spoke, his face turned pale. "Could it be that something happened after being eaten by someone?"

"No, no!" Jian Xu raised his hand and chanted a Heart-Clearing Mantra to calm his senior brother's mind. "Young friend, don't be nervous. I have absolutely no ill intentions in coming here. It's just that this box of pills is so important to our Sword Sect that I invited you to come here late at night to ask about it. I'll give you a hint. Is there a pill in this box that's different from the other Golden Spirit Pills?"

After Jianxu said this, the eldest senior brother suddenly remembered something in a flash -

On that day, Junior Brother Lin was refining pills for the first time. After the furnace exploded and he was driven away, he casually threw the Golden Spirit Pill he had refined into the batch of goods that were to be delivered to the Pure Yang Sword Sect...

Isn't that the one you're talking about?!

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other special places.

Could it be... could it be Junior Brother... What kind of person is Jian Xu? Seeing Xu Feng's hesitation, he instantly realized that he had really caught the real culprit.

"If you don't believe me, I swear an oath to the Heavenly Heart. If I come with even the slightest malice in my heart, I will suffer a heavenly calamity and die!"

As the words fell, the sound of thunder in the heart became faint.

The oath has been made and the sincerity is shown.

"I came here to ask for medicine. I wonder if you have any other similar medicine?"

"No... no more." The other party assured him several times and even swore the Heavenly Heart Oath. With the sect leader also watching over him, the eldest brother felt much more stable.

But after all, it involves Junior Brother, so Xu Feng still wants to find out the situation for him. "But I can refine it, and I am willing to offer the elixir to the Immortal Master."

On that day, his junior fellow apprentice refined the elixir so many times in front of him. Although he felt that his junior fellow apprentice's new alchemy method was both labor-intensive and time-consuming, and more importantly, the ratio of the ingredients was different from before and resulted in a lot of waste, his damn alchemist instinct still made him memorize all the details.

Jianxu was delighted when he heard this, "Thank you very much, my friend..."

"......." The master, disciple and the sect leader all walked out of the alchemy room with their faces covered in black and gray. The door of the alchemy room held for two breaths before collapsing to the ground with a loud bang, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Is that right?" The clan leader beneath the black ash was puzzled. "His furnace exploded!"

The Sword Sect disciple held three lumps of black mud in his hands. "This doesn't look right, Master..."

The eldest brother, sporting an afro, stepped out last. A puff of green smoke emerged from his mouth the moment he opened it. "I remember correctly. The steps were all correct, and the proportions couldn't be wrong. How could this be..."

"That's right!" Jianxu laughed loudly. "How could he, with only a fire spirit root, possibly refine this kind of elixir? The theory is correct. This is the elixir I'm looking for!"

As he spoke, he actually took the initiative to bow and saluted to the eldest brother. "I hope you can tell me who made this pill. Jianxu is here, thank you!"

"That's not necessary! Why do you need to perform such a great ceremony, Elder?" The Sect Master hurried to help him, but since they were both in Nascent Soul stage, how could he help him up?

In a hurry, he could only turn around and look at the eldest brother, lowering his voice and forcing, "Xu Feng!"

The Yuanying Patriarch's bow shook the eldest brother's heart, tears welled up in his eyes, and he murmured, "Yes... yes, Junior Brother, Lin Jian."

Jian Xu stood up instantly and looked at the sect leader with excitement, "Where is this person now?"

"Linjian?" The sect leader muttered this familiar name and instantly recalled the past, "Yunmengze, the Four Sects Competition!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword light shot up into the sky.

Watching the Pure Yang Sword Sect's members hurried away, the Sect Master stood there in thought for a long moment. Turning to see his eldest senior brother, who was also staring blankly at the sky, he rubbed his hands expectantly, "Can you perform that alchemy technique again? That one that blew up the furnace just now..."

The alchemy technique that even the elders of the Pure Yang Sword Sect are eagerly pursuing must have its unique features!

If it can be developed and promoted, it might become a new way for the Zhengyang Sect to rise.

The eldest brother also didn't believe it. Why could the younger brother practice it but he couldn't?
And what did the Sword Sect elder say just now?

What does it mean that a Fire Spiritual Root can't refine pills? Isn't refining pills the job of a Fire Spiritual Root?!

If the other party was not the elder of the Sword Sect, I would have punched him in the face!
"Refine! I don't believe it!"

The eldest brother turned around and went back into the alchemy room.

That day, the alchemy room was in danger of explosion again!
twice!

……

Amidst the swift sword light, the disciple was somewhat unwilling to give in. "Master, why do you have to do this?"

As a Nascent Soul, he was showing such a great gift to a Foundation Establishment Junior, and the other party was not afraid of not being able to accept it.

"What do you know?!" Jian Xu said in a heavy tone, "The Upper Nine Realms haven't communicated with us in the Lower Nine Realms for decades, and we haven't received any response from the Holy Land. We finally have a clue about the Upper Nine Realms, and we must seize it!"

The upper nine realms were cut off from each other, and disasters arose in the lower nine realms.

He just wanted to ask on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in the Nine Realms: Should this world be saved or not?
