However, simply killing these two people won't solve the problem. In fact, it might lead to even greater entanglements. After all, Flaming Blade Duan River is a Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. That sect is backed by the most domineering and shameless Immortal Sect in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty. If we kill those two, the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect will undoubtedly seek revenge repeatedly! To completely resolve this issue, and to ensure I can cultivate Immortal Techniques peacefully in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect from now on, I must find a way to end this feud decisively! At the very least, I need to inflict significant pain on the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. I must make those who harbor vile intentions towards me, Lii Xiaolan, and Xiaoo Ying'Er understand something clearly. While they can have such thoughts, they absolutely must not act on them. The consequences would be severe—so severe that not even a Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal, or even the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect itself, could bear them! Therefore, this time, I must remain in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and resolve this crisis definitively!

When Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er heard Lin Xuankong say he would stay in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to confront the impending attack organized by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect alongside the many Taoist friends of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, her usually cold expression couldn't help but shift. Her typically sharp and icy gaze softened considerably.

She looked at Lin Xuankong and said, "I am quite surprised and touched that Tributor Mu thinks this way."

Pausing for a moment, she looked towards Young Lady Lii Xiaolan. "Your fellow countryman from the Great Xia Dynasty is worth befriending. Not only is his Artifact Refining Technique incredible, but his character is also quite excellent!"

Young Lady Lii Xiaolan showed a look of surprise upon hearing this. Her master had never spoken so kindly to any male cultivator, not even to Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. She had never seen her praise any male cultivator before...

The dozen or so disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect nearby, who had been anxious, all looked at Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er with surprise when they heard her praise Lin Xuankong. It was as if they were seeing this renowned Medicine Immortal for the very first time!

Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er then turned back to Lin Xuankong and continued,

"I came to find Tributor Mu, but not to ask you to intercede with our Sect Leader Li and Grand Elder Sui He.

"They plan to send some elite disciples away for safety, and they could certainly choose others for that escort task. My younger sister, Qu Qiao'Er, is also at the Third-Grade Realm; she is perfectly capable of completing such a mission!

"I actually came to borrow an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact from you, Tributor Mu...

"Our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect technically has two Immortal Artifacts. One is in the hands of Grand Elder Sui He, and the other is with Sect Leader Li. For this upcoming battle, Sect Leader Li has arranged for the six Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts to be distributed as follows: one to each of the two Grand Elders, one to each of the two Vice Sect Leaders, and the remaining two will go to the two Fourth-Grade Realm Tributors.

"In short, I have no chance of being allocated an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact!"

At this point, the usually cold-faced Medicine Immortal showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

"I hear that each of your adopted sons possesses two Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! Although their abilities are not insignificant, they are, after all, cultivators only at Ninth-Layer Perfection. It would be difficult for them to fully unleash the power of an Immortal Artifact. However, if I had an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, I am confident I could deal with at least two Third-Grade Earth Immortals!"

Pausing, she seemed afraid Lin Xuankong might refuse and hastily added, "Of course, I only wish to borrow an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact from your adopted sons. If we manage to overcome this crisis, I will promptly return it!

"Moreover, I would not borrow the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for nothing!"

She took out a Golden Patterned Ghost Child Pouch from her robes. "I have recently been collecting materials to refine Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills. Due to time constraints, I haven't gathered enough for a full crucible of thirty pills, but I have managed to collect enough for fifteen!

"If Tributor Mu agrees to lend me an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for a few days, then once I gather all the necessary materials and successfully refine the pills, I will certainly give you three Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills as a token of my gratitude!"

Young Lady Lii Xiaolan's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.

As Qu Wan'Er's most cherished Direct Disciple, her Alchemy Technique was already approaching the Immortal Tier. She thoroughly understood the difficulty of collecting the materials needed to refine Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills. It was precisely for this reason she knew how incredibly difficult it was to gather all the materials for a full crucible of Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills. This was true even for the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, one of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, despite its access to countless resources. Even with all the resources she could mobilize, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er had struggled for years to gather enough materials for a single crucible-full!

Lii Xiaolan was absolutely certain that if a smaller Immortal Sect attempted to gather these materials, it would likely take them several hundred, perhaps even a thousand years, to collect enough for one full crucible.

These materials were so incredibly rare. Yet, her master had just said that after gathering enough for a full crucible and successfully refining them, she intended to give Lii Xiaolan's husband three of the pills!

This was simply an astounding offer! Her master, the Medicine Immortal, was being incredibly generous!

At this thought, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan immediately began to blink her large eyes rapidly at Lin Xuankong, her expression clearly urging him—Quickly agree, quickly agree, don't hesitate for a single moment!
