Chapter 181: Exchanging Formation Map Treasures (2nd Update)
The golden figure did not respond to Shen Xiaoyao but flew in a certain direction.
After a while, the Nameless Swordsman finally showed up.
“What on earth is going on?”
Shen Xiaoyao was greatly puzzled.
The Nameless Swordsman he had just seen was golden and translucent, like a phantom, whereas the Nameless Swordsman who appeared afterward was a living, breathing person.
The Nameless Swordsman eyed Shen Xiaoyao up and down, then suddenly showed a look of surprise, “You have acquired a Pure Yang Body… indeed, you are blessed with Great Fortune… How have you progressed with the swordsmanship I taught you?”
“This junior is ashamed, of the ten levels of swordsmanship, I have only cultivated up to the fifth level.”
“Such progress has already exceeded my expectations. Your advancement in cultivation is also remarkably swift. It seems your master is a man of extraordinary abilities, I would indeed like to meet him. Now that I think of it, it has been a long time since I visited Mount Shu, truly a place I miss…”
The Nameless Swordsman was a middle-aged man with a goatee and a wine gourd hanging at his waist, looking no different from mortals, except for the three Flying Swords on his back, which were quite notable.
“Elder, if you have lived in Mount Shu before, I could rid the nearby demons with you, then return to Mount Shu. My master would surely be delighted to exchange insights with you.”
Seeing that the Nameless Swordsman’s cultivation was profound and unfathomable, Shen Xiaoyao invited him to join the team to defeat the nearby Demon Sect Elders and the Great Demons of Huang State.
If he could persuade the ultimate master, the Nameless Swordsman, to return to Mount Shu, then should Mount Shu ever face difficulties in the future, they could call upon this man for assistance.
“Hahaha, it just so happens I also wish to return to Mount Shu and meet some old friends; I shall accompany you on your journey,” decided the Nameless Swordsman.
Surprisingly, the Nameless Swordsman agreed to come along.
“Shen Xiaoyao and Elder, I am Wu Wan’er, the Seventh Princess of Yue Country. Thank you both for lending your aid; such a tremendous favor is impossible to repay in this lifetime.”
The princess of Yue Country hastily expressed her gratitude.
Although Shen Xiaoyao’s cultivation was no match for the Demon Tribe Prince, his chivalrous spirit and youthful achievements impressed her, and at the critical moment, he saved her life. Wu Wan’er’s gaze towards Shen Xiaoyao held a touch of admiration.
“Your aptitude is quite satisfactory, at such a young age reaching the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Is your sect the Immeasurable Temple?”
“Elder, you guessed correctly.”
Wu Wan’er was shocked; this Nameless Swordsman was truly frightening, able to discern her aptitude and sect with just a glance.
“With Elder’s help, defeating the nearby demons will be a piece of cake!”
Shen Xiaoyao was in high spirits.
The Nameless Swordsman possessed at least the cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm; if he took action against some demons of the Dao Palace Realm, he could take their lives in an instant.
“Shen Xiaoyao, do you know the origins of this person?”
Wu Wan’er sent a message to Shen Xiaoyao via spiritual transmission.
Although the Nameless Swordsman had saved them, his origins were unknown, so Wu Wan’er still trusted the Elders of Mount Shu, the six main forces of the Righteous Dao, more.
“I do not.”
“This man just saved us by using the supreme Divine Skill of ‘Soul Exiting Aperture.’ I have read about ‘Soul Exiting Aperture’ in an unnamed ancient text. This skill allows the Primordial Spirit to reach thousands of miles instantaneously to harm the enemy. However, one must have reached an extremely advanced level of cultivation to be able to comprehend such a Divine Skill to kill foes with the exiting of the Primordial Spirit.”
Wu Wan’er conveyed with grave seriousness to Shen Xiaoyao a message, indicating that this Nameless Swordsman was of an extremely high realm.
…
In Mount Shu’s Treasure Pavilion, Lu Changsheng was picking out special treasures related to formation maps.
With the four major Demon Sects and the Demon Race making a resurgence, albeit currently only causing minor disturbances, Lu Changsheng dispatched disciples from Qingyun Peak to descend the mountain and slay demons, accumulating virtue in the process.
Although Lu Changsheng did not yet understand the purpose of the imperceptible power of virtue, accumulating it was never a mistake.
Immeasurable Temple, one of the six major sects, had indeed given birth to numerous divine monks with the power of faith, its strength second only to Mount Shu.
Lu Changsheng was pondering how to get the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator to return the medium-grade immortal treasure “Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map”.
The medium-grade immortal treasure “Mysterious Fire Mirror” needed to be paired with the “Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map” to unleash its greatest power.
Based on Lu Changsheng’s many years of teaching experience, he knew that the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map was a Fire Attribute Formation Map, and rewarding a disciple with a Fire Attribute Formation Treasure might lead to the return of the “Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map”.
Of course, since the “Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map” was a medium-grade immortal treasure, the chances of it being returned were extremely low.
Lu Changsheng planned to collect a bunch of Fire Attribute Formation Maps and give them to his disciples multiple times.
As long as the direction was correct, no matter how low the chances, with enough attempts, he would eventually acquire the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map.
Lu Changsheng took out seventh-grade and even eighth-grade Elixir Pills and handed them over to the sect in exchange for Sect Contribution Points, then swapped for the treasures he desired from the Mount Shu Treasure Pavilion.
“Fierce Fire Formation Chart, a superior Spiritual Artifact, is a relatively common Fire Attribute Formation Map. Using this Formation Map with a Fire Talisman can set up the Fierce Fire Formation, scorching enemies, and it requires 2000 Sect Contribution Points.”
“Fire Poison Corroding Heart Formation Chart, an inferior Acquired Spirit Treasure, combined with high-level Fire Talismans or other Fire Attribute Treasures, can summon deadly Earth Fire, and it requires 15000 Sect Contribution Points.”
“Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation Chart, a superior Acquired Spirit Treasure, can enhance the Eight-Sided Separating Fire Banners that comprise the Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation, and it requires 700,000 Sect Contribution Points.”
…
Lu Changsheng had exchanged a total of twenty-four scrolls of Fire Attribute Formation Maps, sparing no Sect Contribution Points.
Once the Sect Contribution Points were exhausted, Lu Changsheng merely had to produce seventh-grade or eighth-grade Elixir Pills to exchange for more Sect Contribution Points.
For the sake of obtaining the medium-grade immortal treasure “Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map,” using some Elixir Pills as the price was not a big deal.
Lu Changsheng could also exchange any surplus Innate Spirit Treasures for Sect Contribution Points.
The Mount Shu Elders and disciples guarding the Treasure Pavilion were shocked as they watched Lu Changsheng sweep away all the exchangeable Fire Attribute Formation Maps like a whirlwind, dumbfounded.
“Why did Elder Lu from Qingyun Peak exchange for all the Fire Attribute Formation Maps?”
“These Formation Maps are of no use to him, he is a Supreme Elder who owns immortal artifacts. To him, Spiritual Artifacts and Acquired Spirit Treasures are like trash, but why is this so?”
“Could it be that Elder Lu intends to comprehend Formation Arts and become a grandmaster of formations?”
“Elder Lu is a supreme figure, a genius. How could we mortals understand his thoughts?”
“Yes, indeed.”
All the Mount Shu disciples echoed in agreement.
The more they couldn’t understand what Lu Changsheng was planning to do, the more profound and inscrutable he appeared in their eyes.
After all, a genius always acts differently from the common folk.
Lu Changsheng, having obtained the twenty-four scrolls of Fire Attribute Formation Maps, returned to Qingyun Peak.
The disciples of the Qi Destiny Realm from Qingyun Peak were descending the mountain to slay demons and eliminate devils, and only the junior disciple Ji Xuan was still cultivating on Qingyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng persisted in teaching disciples daily. He needed to have at least one disciple by his side, otherwise it would be difficult to reap the benefits.
Ji Xuan’s current cultivation level was the Nascent Soul Realm, and she could be rewarded with up to Acquired Spirit Treasures.
The twenty-four scrolls of Fire Attribute Formation Maps exchanged by Lu Changsheng were exactly the Spiritual Artifacts and Acquired Spirit Treasures.
Lu Changsheng planned to first reward them to Ji Xuan. After getting a batch of Innate Spirit Treasure Formation Maps in return, he would then pass them on to the disciples of the Dao Palace Realm.
“Disciple, come to your teacher’s cave dwelling.”
Having returned to his cave dwelling, Lu Changsheng couldn’t resist the urge to teach his disciple.
