Ouyang Qinglan's face turned even paler. She hesitated for a moment before gracefully drifting to Lin Xuankong's side. After receiving the Elixir, her right hand trembled as she held it.
After a moment, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, then opened her mouth and swallowed the Elixir. Then, she bowed and said, "I, Ouyang Qinglan, was once greatly disrespectful to Mr. Mu. I am willing to accept this punishment. I only hope that after punishing me, Mr. Mu will not extend his anger to… eh?"
Before she could finish her sentence, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She then raised her hand to touch her white hair.
The surrounding Eighth Layer and Ninth Layer Cultivators, including Emperor Xiao of Great Xia and Celestial Sect Leader Hua, all gasped in unison.
Ouyang Qinglan, astonished, took out a Copper Mirror from her Ghost Frog Pouch and looked carefully into it. In the mirror, her white hair was gradually changing, and in less than ten breaths, it had transformed into a full head of silky black hair!
Not only that, she could feel a vigorous vitality spreading throughout her internal organs and limbs, making her feel as if she had aged backward by decades in just those ten breaths!
"This… this isn't poison? And it seems to have greatly extended my Lifespan in a very short time? Mr. Mu, what is this?" Ouyang Qinglan's face was full of astonishment.
King Yu Changfeng couldn't resist exclaiming in a low voice, "White hair turning to black silk in an instant! This Elixir's miraculous effect is comparable to the legendary youth-restoring Immortal Pills of the Central Divine Dynasty!"
Emperor Xiao of Great Xia pondered for a moment, then said in amazement, "I've heard that in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, there is a powerful Earth Immortal named Qu Wan'er who is adept at refining mysterious Immortal Pills. These pills can rejuvenate Cultivators and extend their Lifespan by one or two hundred years. However, even in the Central Divine Dynasty, such Immortal Pills sell for a substantial amount of Low-grade Profound Truth Jade! After all, for Cultivators who haven't yet ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm, even if they consume various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, their Lifespan is at most three to four hundred years. Extending their Lifespan by one or two hundred years means their chances of entering the Earth Immortal Realm increase severalfold…"
As he spoke, his breathing grew rapid.
For Transcendence Realm Cultivators who could not achieve Earth Immortal status, longevity was already an extravagance. After centuries of Cultivation, their efforts would ultimately come to naught. How could they be resigned to such a fate? This was especially unbearable for powerful individuals like Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, who held the highest authority in the Great Xia Dynasty! The sight of the miraculous Elixir in Mu Shiba's possession deeply stirred his desires.
It wasn't just Emperor Xiao of Great Xia; Celestial Sect Leader Hua, Saint Dragon Association President Han, King Qi, East King, King Yu, and Prince Yi all watched the rejuvenating Ouyang Qinglan, their faces flushed with excitement and their hearts burning with fervent desire.
Watching the highly excited Great Xia Cultivators before him, a smile touched Lin Xuankong's lips.
To mobilize these Great Xia Cultivators, relying solely on the immense strength I displayed by defeating the Eight Great Demon Venerables could certainly accomplish much, he thought. Though I haven't admitted it, everyone present probably believes that the destruction of the Six Great Demon Sects was absolutely my doing. With such deterrence, neither Emperor Xiao of Great Xia nor Celestial Sect Leader Hua would dare to treat any task from me lightly. However, if I want these individuals to quickly collect large amounts of Demon Pearls, Geng Metal Crystals, and Li Fire Crystals, mere deterrence won't make these two- or three-hundred-year-old veterans work themselves to the bone. Now, with my past achievements as a deterrent and the allure of Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs as an incentive, these Martial Cultivators will undoubtedly exert their utmost effort. After all, having cultivated for two or three centuries and reached their current peak, how could they be content to let their Lifespan run out and see all their efforts turn to nothing!
With this in mind, Lin Xuankong addressed Emperor Xiao of Great Xia and the others, "I entrust you all with the task of collecting various materials. Once you've gathered everything, place the Demon Pearls and Crystal Stones at the Third Princess's Princess's Mansion, and I will retrieve them. At that time, one hundred Demon Pearls can be exchanged for one Elixir that extends Lifespan by decades to a century, and one thousand pounds of Crystal Stones can also be exchanged for one.
"Of course, these life-extending Elixirs are difficult to refine because the materials are hard to find. I don't have many on hand. Please try to keep this information secret. If others learn I possess such Elixirs, they might come to exchange other Treasures for them. If that happens, the quantity of Elixirs you all can acquire will be significantly reduced!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao of Great Xia repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Mu, rest assured. Such precious Elixirs have appeared in Great Xia. We are not three-year-old children; we naturally understand the need to keep this secret! Please also rest assured about the tasks you've assigned, Mr. Mu. I will immediately mobilize all Cultivators in Great Xia. From now on, the Great Xia Dynasty's top priority will be to wholeheartedly collect various materials for you!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then began to float away. Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er pondered for a moment and followed him.
After they had flown for dozens of miles, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er showed a curious expression, smiling as she said, "I never expected you could refine such miraculous Elixirs, comparable to Immortal Pills! I'm truly surprised!
"Back then, I thought you could only refine Demon Prison Cages. You surpassed every Artifact Refiner in the Great Xia Dynasty, and you're no less skilled than those from the Central Divine Dynasty!
"Later, you displayed a Qi Blood Amount far exceeding that of any Cultivator, along with a Cultivation Speed unrivaled by any, reaching the Peak of Transcendence as a Ninth Layer Martial Artist in merely three years!
"Now, you've shown combat strength comparable to an Initial Tier Earth Immortal and incredible Alchemy Skill. I truly wonder what other surprises and marvels you'll show me in the future!"
Lin Xuankong chuckled. "You'd better not think about these things. Focus on how you're going to personally wash one hundred thousand pounds of fruit for me!"
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's beautiful face froze. "Do I really have to wash them?"
"Of course, you really have to wash them!"
「In the blink of an eye, eight months had passed.」
At the summit of the central peak in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, within an exquisite stone building, Lin Xuankong activated the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, rapidly absorbing the hundred Demon Pearls and large quantities of Geng Metal Crystals and Li Fire Crystals before him.
Since the battle at the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, the Great Xia Royal Family, Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, Saint Dragon Association, various Prince Mansions, State Mansions, and numerous sects and factions all began collecting Li Fire Crystals, Geng Metal Crystals, and Demon Pearls.
To obtain the mysterious Elixirs promised by Lin Xuankong, Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect Leader Hua, Saint Dragon Association President Han, and the Princes from various Prince Mansions mobilized every resource at their disposal, offering numerous rewards and launching extensive collection efforts. Many Great Xia Cultivators even formed teams to hunt Demons in Boundaryless Mountain, seeking the rewards offered by the Great Xia Royal Family, Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, and other factions.
Originally, the Great Xia Dynasty was considered weak among the surrounding Dynasties and states. It was constantly plagued by demon scourges and invasions from the Six Great Demon Sects and Demon Cultivators. But now, with all Tier Nine Great Demons eliminated by Lin Xuankong and the Six Great Demon Sects completely eradicated, this once-feeble Great Xia Dynasty was revitalized with unimaginable vigor!
In just over half a year, Cultivators from various regions hunted so many Demons in Boundaryless Mountain that the number surpassed the total from the previous millennium combined! (This wasn't merely due to the absence of Tier Nine Great Demons; it was also because Lin Xuankong had provided the Ninth Princess with a substantial number of Profound Truth Jade Particles. She used these to refine numerous Demon Prison Cages, which could easily capture even Late Stage Tier Seven Great Demons!)
For a time, the Great Xia Dynasty's production of Demon Flesh and Demon Pearls became the most prominent among the surrounding Dynasties. The Great Xia Cultivators became the nightmare of the numerous Demons in Boundaryless Mountain, completely reversing the once disastrous situation. Numerous Demon clans were forced to migrate to the central regions of Boundaryless Mountain, no longer daring to linger on the outskirts near the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this moment, in the stone building, Lin Xuankong had just finished using the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword to absorb all the Demon Pearls and Geng Metal Crystals when he felt a sudden jolt in his Heart Spirit, which was connected to the sword.
Immediately afterward, the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, which had been dimming its luminescence, suddenly blazed with brilliant light. Its brilliance was ethereal and mystical, accompanied by bursts of enigmatic celestial music!
From the stone building in the Secret Realm, a pillar of light erupted, piercing the heavens. It shot tens of thousands of miles upward into the void above the Secret Realm, causing the chaotic void to churn violently. This display of power was hundreds of times more formidable than when the Immortal Sword was first successfully forged on Flying Dragon Slope outside Prison Dragon City!
Within the Secret Realm, tens of millions of busy commoners witnessed this astonishing light. They immediately knelt, their faces filled with reverence and joy. They all knew clearly that the light pillar rose from the dwelling place of the supreme ruler of this vast land!
