Chapter 34

"Master Li, a small token of my heart, please accept it," the Holy Emperor said sincerely.

Only then did Li Nianfan take the box and slowly opened it.

A burst of fire shot up from the box, accompanied by the majestic roar of a dragon, wild and domineering.

The flames coalesced into the shape of a fire dragon in mid-air, radiating a proud and awe-inspiring aura.

However, this fire dragon didn't swagger for long. Its body in mid-air suddenly trembled, as if sensing an overwhelming terror, and it quickly rolled back into the box, transforming into a round, fiery red bead.

This scene left everyone, including Emperor Luo, stunned.

When did the Dragon Fire Pearl become so compliant?

Those familiar with the Dragon Fire Pearl knew that it was the essence of an ancient fire dragon, containing the dragon's temper and pride. Although it was a national treasure of the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty, even the Holy Emperor had to treat it with respect.

Usually, when the Dragon Fire Pearl was released, it would be incredibly arrogant. This time, it actually cowered.

Perhaps it also sensed the terror of a great master.

Truly a great master, even the incomparably powerful Dragon Fire Pearl cowered before him.

The Holy Emperor sighed inwardly. He had suffered many setbacks before the Dragon Fire Pearl, yet he had never seen it cower.

Lin Qingyun and Zhao Shanhe looked at Emperor Luo with great surprise.

They never expected that Emperor Luo would actually give away the Dragon Fire Pearl, showing a level of resolve that was truly extraordinary.

After all, the flames of the Dragon Fire Pearl could help cultivators refine the Golden Core Fire, mass-producing Golden Core cultivators.

This ability was enough to make any force envious, which was why Lin Qingyun had tried every means to borrow the Dragon Fire Pearl.

Bai Wuchen, on the other hand, wore an expression of "as expected."

He understood Emperor Luo's thoughts, as he had also given Li Nianfan the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade, the greatest treasure of the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Sect.

Neither the Dragon Fire Pearl nor the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade could compare to a single hair of Li Nianfan.

As long as he could win the favor of Senior Li, any small favor he bestowed would likely be far more precious than these treasures!

"Hey? This bead can actually spout fire," Li Nianfan said, picking up the Dragon Fire Pearl with surprise and smiling at the Holy Emperor, "I don't want anything too precious."

The great master was hinting again.

"It's not precious at all," Emperor Luo said, "This is the Dragon Fire Pearl, it just has the ability to produce fire."

Li Nianfan nodded and said to the Dragon Fire Pearl, "Show me the fire again."

Whoosh!

A flame rose from the Dragon Fire Pearl, the firelight gentle and obedient.

"Hmm, it's really quite useful. It will be much more convenient to start a fire in the future," Li Nianfan smiled in satisfaction. This was far more useful than a lighter, "I'll take it, thank you."

Everyone smiled bitterly.

The Demon Sword used for chopping wood, the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade used for lighting, and the Dragon Fire Pearl used for starting fires.

If others knew, they would probably call them mad.

But thinking of the great master's abilities, they felt at ease. These treasures, which were precious to others, were nothing to the great master.

The great master, who possessed shocking cultivation, willingly transformed into an ordinary person, and to him, numerous treasures were like common objects. This realm was something they, as cultivators, could only look up to.

"Master Li, we will go back and prepare the spirit medicines for you. We'll take our leave now," everyone stood up to take their leave.

Li Nianfan replied, "Thank you all for your efforts."

...

As soon as they stepped out the door, Emperor Luo and the others frowned.

They looked up at the sky.

Streams of light were patrolling around, moving at incredible speed, heading straight for the quadrangle.

Without a word, everyone had the same thought and flew into the sky.

Bai Wuchen blocked a short and plump Daoist and said with a smile, "Daoist Ling, are you here to seek opportunities?"

At first, Daoist Ling's expression was calm, but then he showed shock and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Bai."

His heart was far from calm. Bai Wuchen had actually broken through to the Out-of-Body realm.

A hundred years ago, he was just at the same level as himself, the Nascent Soul stage.

The others around also noticed Bai Wuchen and greeted him respectfully.

Bai Wuchen accepted it calmly, feeling extremely comfortable with the title of "Senior." He was now a major figure in the cultivation world.

All of this was bestowed upon him by Master Li, and he should do his best to help him.

Thinking of this, he said calmly, "I assume you are here to seek the opportunity to encounter a shape-shifting monster. I've already looked, there's nothing in this area. You don't need to waste your time."

"Thank you, Senior Bai."

Everyone believed him and took their leave.

On the other side, Zhao Shanhe and the Holy Emperor did the same, dispersing a large number of cultivators.

Then, they quickly returned to their territories, determined to deliver the spirit medicines to Master Li as soon as possible.

This was an opportunity to show their worth before the great master, and they couldn't afford to miss it.

Lin Qingyun was gritting her teeth, cursing inwardly.

Her cultivation was the lowest, and her speed the slowest, so she was the last to leave.

Since everyone wanted to show their worth before Master Li, the first to deliver the medicines would be the best, so they were in competition.

She was determined and continuously used pills to increase her speed along the way.

Finally, she reached the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion's base in Luoxian City and issued the most urgent order.

The steward of the base appeared immediately, "I wonder what urgent matter has the Holy Maiden summoned us for?"

Lin Qingyun directly threw a token to the steward.

"Old Guan, take my token and go to the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion immediately. Bring all the spirit medicines from the pavilion!"

"What?" Old Guan was stunned, "Holy Maiden, the spirit medicines in the Immortal Pavilion are numerous. It would take at least a month to deliver them all."

Lin Qingyun frowned slightly.

She had not considered this thoroughly.

If it were just ordinary spirit medicines, the great master wouldn't be interested. It had to be something extremely precious.

The great master needed them to treat the injuries from the heavenly thunder.

Lin Qingyun continued, "Forget the ordinary spirit medicines. Bring all the top-grade spirit medicines and immortal herbs from the Immortal Pavilion!"

Even Old Guan, who had seen much, was frightened pale and dizzy.

He hesitated and said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden, this matter is too significant. Should we wait for the Pavilion Master to come out of seclusion and discuss it with him before making a decision?"

Top-grade spirit medicines and immortal herbs were undoubtedly the most precious things in the cultivation world, and also the foundation of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion. To send them all over?

If he hadn't confirmed it multiple times, he would have suspected that this Holy Maiden was an impostor.

"The situation is urgent, don't ask questions. When the Pavilion Master comes out of seclusion, I will explain to him! Go quickly!" Lin Qingyun said urgently.

Old Guan had no choice but to transform into a stream of light and head for the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Emperor Luo and Luo Shiyu had already returned to the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty.

Without a word, they headed straight for the deepest treasure vault of the Immortal Dynasty, packing all kinds of spirit medicines.

Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe did the same, but as sword cultivators, their stock of spirit medicines was far less than that of the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty and the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion, leaving them in a panic.
