Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Long Xuan Returns (First Update, Please Subscribe)

In the garden, a hundred flowers bloomed, red and white intermingling with a faint fragrance drifting by.

The Gold Ancestor was clad in a white dress, her hair styled in butterfly buns, her eyebrows slightly darkened with brow pencil, and she wore embroidered shoes, sitting casually on a swing while speaking of some Golden Core secrets.

"Once achieving the Golden Core, even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs show a degree of respect towards Golden Core Cultivators. If a Golden Core Cultivator is driven to a desperate situation and self-destructs their core, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator could be seriously injured or even killed! Historically, there have been many cases where Golden Core Cultivators have killed Nascent Souls by self-destructing."

The Gold Ancestor continued, "Back then, three major Golden Core Demon Cultivators attacked, and when the Black Corpse Demon Monarch attempted to self-destruct, I interrupted it and killed him. The White Tiger Demon King tried to self-destruct when I killed him, but failed. During the great battle at Tieling Pass, I slew two Golden Core Demon Kings, and as I was about to kill the third one, that Golden Core Demon King self-destructed, resulting in two Demon Kings being seriously injured, one being killed outright, and only one managing to escape, while I also sustained significant injuries."

"Do not underestimate Golden Core Cultivators simply because I have slain many. Every cultivator who steps into the Golden Core realm is a prodigy, possessing first-rate attributes, willpower, fortune, and mental realm." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"At Tieling Pass, although six Great Demons surrounded and attacked me with seemingly superior numbers, they each had their own schemes; some even wished to kill others with borrowed blades. Therefore, I managed to isolate them temporarily with arrays and defeated them one by one. Had they cooperated wholeheartedly, I would have fled in disgrace long ago!"

"Those Golden Core Cultivators hesitated, and missed the chance to self-destruct, otherwise, I may not have been able to kill them."

"Xuanji understands!"

Lu Xuanji nodded.

A slight headache emerged; a Golden Core elder’s mind is indeed full.

Like in past lives, those impoverished, dirt-poor individuals have nothing to lose but their lives, naturally showcasing bravado, fighting fiercely without fear of death, often brandishing knives and blades on a whim;

However, those top-tier wealthy individuals and nobles are extremely cautious about preserving their lives, fearing death greatly, emphasizing healthy diets, requiring regular check-ups by health doctors; during outings, a group of bodyguards must accompany them, traveling in bulletproof vehicles.

Would these people wield knives, combat on streets, fighting to the death?

Absolutely impossible!

They cherish life, living for decades is not enough; they wish to live for five hundred more years.

Golden Core Cultivators can live for a thousand years, wield great power, and live more comfortably. Expecting them to fight desperately like those lower-tier loose cultivators is utterly impossible.

Golden Core Cultivators self-destructing their core can indeed heavily injure a Nascent Soul.

But if they’re afraid of dying and hesitate slightly, the self-destruction might fail, leading to their death at the hands of the enemy.

"Hmm!"

The Gold Ancestor suddenly sensed something, smiled and said, "Long Xuan has returned!"

A moment later, Long Xuan appeared, covered in dust, her face weary: "Miss, I’ve disappointed you. I visited several places consecutively, but none had the Soul Nourishing Pill. Yet, Dan Yang Sect agreed that in thirty years, when the medicinal material matures, they will secure a Soul Nourishing Pill for you!"

"No need!" the Gold Ancestor said, "I was lucky, Xuanji gifted a pill formula called the Heaven Mending Pill. Using this formula as a base, I crafted a Heaven Mending Pill. After taking it, my injuries have already healed!"

She emitted a thread of terrifying aura before withdrawing it.

"Congratulations, Miss!"

Long Xuan congratulated, "How is the efficacy compared to the Soul Nourishing Pill and the Jade Pill?"

"Its effect surpasses them!"

"What’s the price?"

"The discounted price is twenty thousand spirit stones!" the Gold Ancestor said.

"Miss, you’re kind!"

Long Xuan said.

A third-grade Soul Nourishing Pill, capable of treating divine soul injuries, costs thirty thousand spirit stones;

A third-grade Jade Pill, capable of treating physical injuries, is priced at twenty-five thousand spirit stones.

The Heaven Mending Pill’s effect surpasses them, yet its price is only twenty thousand spirit stones, considered a benevolent price.

Perhaps Miss would even lose some spirit stones.

The great battle had just ended, and many high-level elixirs were scarce, with no goods available at all.

At this time, it’s not a matter of price hikes, but rather that there’s nothing to buy.

After the news of the Heaven Mending Pill spread, cultivators from Purple Sun Mountain came one after another to exchange for them, taking the Heaven Mending Pill and refining its medicinal power, swiftly recovering from injuries as the medicinal power was integrated.

Originally, it would require five years of recuperation to heal completely.

Instead, after taking the Heaven Mending Pill, it took just three short months to recover completely.

Very quickly, the reputation of the Heaven Mending Pill spread externally, with cultivators arriving one after another to request the pill.

The Gold Ancestor directly set the price at fifty thousand spirit stones, yet such a high price did not deter those cultivators, instead increasing the number of requests.

Until ten Heaven Mending Pills were sold, the Gold Ancestor announced the end of availability, and the frenzy gradually subsided.

...

"Thanks to you!"

Several days later, the Gold Ancestor said: "Merit should be rewarded, mistakes should be punished. Due to the merit of the Heaven Mending Pill, I will grant you some privileges. You can access the library to read books; you are allowed seclusion and cultivation in the third-grade Grotto Heaven; priority in elixir refining with just costs being charged. Except for a few forbidden zones, you can freely move around most regions."

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Lu Xuanji respectfully said.

"Long Xuan, take him to the library!" The Gold Ancestor instructed.

"Young Master, this way!"

Long Xuan smiled broadly.

"Thank you, Sister Long Xuan!"

Lu Xuanji said.

Thus, they left, one after the other.

As they walked, Long Xuan introduced, "The Cave Library opened by the Ancestor is named Water Moon Grotto Heaven, containing various books. How much you comprehend will depend on your creation!"

Upon reaching the cave mansion entrance, there wasn’t a single guard in sight.

Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised: "The library is a critical place in a sect, why are there no strong guards?"

Whether in clan or sect, the library is always a critical area.

Like Lu Family’s library which is constantly guarded by Foundation Establishment Elders.

"Because there’s no need!"

Long Xuan said, "There is a Killing Array set up in the library, be careful not to die inside!"

After saying this, she vanished.

"Strange, I don’t recall offending her!" Lu Xuanji’s eyes flashed with a trace of confusion and puzzlement.

Long Xuan, being at the Half-Step Golden Core, was just a hair’s breadth from entering the Golden Core Realm, her prowess extremely formidable.

In the past, Long Xuan was quite warm towards him;

But recently, she has been very cold towards him.

That kind of coldness seemed lethal.

Despite feeling puzzled, he cautiously pushed open the library door and entered within.

...

In the garden, a mirror was set up, displaying images within it, precisely showing Lu Xuanji within the library.

The Gold Ancestor sat on the swing, watching with great interest.

At that moment, a girl silently appeared, clad in white like snow, with a cold arrogance like frost, and said, "Miss, have you truly decided?"

"I am considering it!"

The Gold Ancestor responded calmly.

Inside, Long Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. It’s only been three short years since they last met, why did Miss change so much?
