At this moment, Lin Xuankong gazed at the one hundred elite warriors of Great Xia present, feeling quite sentimental.

Three years ago, he was just a small steward who had recently joined the Yin Talisman Sect. At that time, even the Black Tiger Gang, which ran rampant in Great Marsh Prefecture City, was a colossal power in his eyes. He hadn't even dared to publicly reveal that he possessed the Nine-Seal Talent!

Merely three years had passed.

Now, the top martial artists from the vast lands of Great Xia, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, were showing him the utmost respect. The Black Tiger Gang, which he once deeply feared and was extremely wary of, could be easily annihilated by any single person present here!

This is the change brought by power. Such a change is more than earth-shattering!

And now, among all his various methods, the most powerful offensive means, aside from the Great Reincarnation Technique and the Great Enhancement Technique, is the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword! Although he has been gathering Geng Metal Crystal Stones, Li Fire Crystal Stones, and Demon Pearls through the five Grand Elders of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect and the Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, the power that the Third Princess can mobilize is ultimately less than that of Emperor Xiao of Great Xia and the present Sect Leader Hua, King Yu, King Qi, and East King!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong spoke, "I have always enjoyed artifact refining. Recently, I find myself in need of Geng Metal Crystal Stones, Li Fire Crystal Stones, and Demon Pearls. If Emperor Xiao, Sect Leader Hua, King Yu, King Qi, and all Daoist friends here can help me gather these treasures, I am willing to exchange them for materials of equal value!"

Xiaoo Mingrui, clad in a bright yellow robe, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Mu, how many Geng Metal Crystal Stones, Li Fire Crystal Stones, and Demon Pearls do you require?"

Lin Xuankong smiled. "The more, the better. Just let me know the total cost, Emperor Xiao, and you can state the price to me!"

The Cyan Nether Immortal Sword needs to devour a large number of Geng Metal Crystal Stones, Li Fire Crystal Stones, and Demon Pearls. Furthermore, Miss Xiao Xiuyi is currently researching a new growth-type immortal sword. If she succeeds, a stronger immortal sword will likely require even more Geng Metal Crystal Stones, Li Fire Crystal Stones, and Demon Pearls—far exceeding the current consumption of the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, which can grow to Tier Three at most!

Xiaoo Mingrui's expression turned solemn. "This time, the Eight Great Demon Venerables arrived together, disregarding the threat from the Immortal Sect's True Inheritance and from Cao Zhen's Biography, intending to overthrow Great Xia. Mr. Mu, you turned the tide and saved Great Xia from the brink of collapse. To the Great Xia Dynasty, your kindness is akin to a rebirth, and it is only thanks to you, Mr. Mu, that we have survived, avoiding the crisis of immediate annihilation! Such profound kindness… how can we even speak of costs? Moreover, Mr. Mu, your relationship with my daughter Ying'Er is extraordinary. For you to speak of payment is truly too formal!"

Around them, Sect Leader Hua of the Celestial Sect, Chairman Han of the Holy Dragon Association, King Yu, East King, King Qi, and Prince Yi, all wore solemn expressions and repeatedly cupped their hands.

"Mr. Mu, you saved our lives! To speak of costs is indeed too formal!"

"Never mind that Mr. Mu requires these materials now; even if he hadn't asked, I, Yu Changfeng, would certainly have prepared dozens of Demon Pearls to express my gratitude!"

"From this day forward, the Holy Dragon Association will order all Sect disciples to devote their full efforts to collecting Geng Metal Crystals, Li Fire Crystals, and Demon Pearls!"

Everyone present voiced their agreement, unanimously stating they required no remuneration.

It was hardly surprising, considering the Eight Great Demon Venerables had been effortlessly defeated by this Mr. Mu before them! According to information obtained by Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, it was likely that the Six Great Demon Sects, to which the Eight Great Demon Venerables belonged, had also been wiped out by this Mr. Mu! Those were fearsome Demon Cultivation Sects that had been entrenched in the Rakshasa Kingdom for thousands of years, battling for millennia against Formless Buddhism, an entity far more powerful than the Great Xia Dynasty! The most terrifying part was that only a few hours had passed between Mr. Mu leaving the Sealing Demon Mountain Range and the destruction of the Six Great Demon Sects… To overthrow the Six Great Demon Sects in an instant was something not even an Initial Tier Earth Immortal could necessarily achieve! If this Mr. Mu intended to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty… wouldn't that mean he could do it in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea? The crux of the matter was that no one present could fathom how 'Mu Shiba' had accomplished such feats. That was the most terrifying aspect of 'Mu Shiba'! For such a colossal figure to merely ask them to prepare some materials—who would dare ask for a reward? Asking him for a reward would be courting death, planning to fall on the spot and join those Demon Sect Cultivators in the afterlife!

Lin Xuankong looked at the crowd, observing their determined expressions, each one 'adamantly' refusing any reward.

He shook his head slightly and took out a Magical Gui Ling Elixir from his bosom. Then, he looked at the white-haired Ouyang Qinglan. "Elder Ouyang, come here and take this elixir!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately fixed their gaze on Elder Ouyang Qinglan of the Celestial Sect. Individuals like Sect Leader Hua of the Celestial Sect and President Han of the Holy Dragon Association were particularly alarmed. Sect Leader Hua, especially, recalled Ouyang Qinglan's previous 'snitching' incident.

Sect Leader Hua's expression subtly changed as she thought to herself: Offending this Mr. Mu indeed brings no good outcome. That elixir is probably a lethal poison! …Sigh, Ouyang Qinglan actually had good intentions; it was all for Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er. How could she have known Mr. Mu was so overwhelmingly powerful, possessing the means to single-handedly repel the Eight Great Demon Venerables and annihilate the Six Great Demon Sects? If she had known earlier, even if she had a hundredfold more courage, she wouldn't have dared to offend him!

However, even though Sect Leader Hua harbored these thoughts, she absolutely did not dare to voice them, much less ask 'Mu Shiba' to spare Ouyang Qinglan.

Conversely, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er seemed to have realized something. Her eyes flickered, and a hint of a smile touched her lips as she looked at Lin Xuankong.

The surrounding one hundred Tier Eight and Tier Nine Cultivators, including King Yu and King Qi, were all deathly silent, clearly interpreting this scene as Lin Xuankong making an example of Ouyang Qinglan—killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
