Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 216 – The high monk who failed to pass the tribulation, the relic

Wu Tian, upon hearing this, looked at Meng Fan with a serious expression and said, "Senior Brother Meng, as long as it can enhance my Sword Dao foundation, you can take anything you need from me, just don't take my life!"

Meng Fan gave a slight bitter smile, thinking, why would I need your life?

If I really killed you, Elder Lin would definitely come after me!

"I can indeed point you to a clear path that will significantly enhance your Sword Dao foundation. But in exchange, I need something from you as well."

"What is it?" Wu Tian asked eagerly.

"We'll discuss it back at the Sword Pavilion!"

Meng Fan had no interest in chatting with Wu Tian in the cold wind.

***

"Senior Brother Meng, can you tell me now what you want from me?" Wu Tian asked impatiently as soon as they returned to the Sword Pavilion.

This guy, not only straightforward but also a bit simple-minded.

However, dealing with such people is indeed less troublesome.

"Have you already cultivated your Divine Soul?" Meng Fan asked Wu Tian.

"Yes," Wu Tian answered directly without any hesitation.

Meng Fan had already sensed this, but getting a confirmed answer from Wu Tian still made him feel a bit excited.

"Cultivating a Divine Soul at the Heavenly Origin Realm is almost impossible. How did you do it?"

Hearing Meng Fan's question, Wu Tian smiled, already understanding Meng Fan's thoughts.

Though straightforward, he wasn't foolish.

In fact, such talented chosen ones are usually very smart; they just don't bother to show it.

"Senior Brother Meng, are you trying to cultivate a Divine Soul?" Wu Tian asked with a smile.

"Exactly!" Meng Fan didn't hide his intentions at all.

Wu Tian rarely smiled, but at this moment, he couldn't help it.

Because during his time at the Sword Pavilion, he had almost always been bullied by Meng Fan.

Now that Meng Fan needed something from him, he was naturally happy.

All along, his combat skills and sword techniques were inferior to Meng Fan's, but in terms of Divine Sense and Divine Soul, he completely outclassed Meng Fan.

Previously, Meng Fan hadn't shown any interest in this area, so Wu Tian didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

Now that Meng Fan was asking, his sense of accomplishment surged.

"I do have a special method for cultivating a Divine Soul, but it's my secret. Why should I tell you?" Wu Tian asked somewhat smugly.

Meng Fan, with a calm expression, said, "I can tell you how to enhance your Sword Dao cultivation and foundation. That's my secret. We can trade."

Wu Tian shook his head and said, "It's not the same. My secret isn't what you think it is."

Meng Fan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Then tell me, what do you want?"

Wu Tian's attitude wasn't one of refusal but clearly one of "raising the price."

Meng Fan didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"It's simple. I have only one request. If you agree, we can trade this secret."

"What request?"

"I've always called you Senior Brother Meng. From now on, you call me Senior Brother Wu!"

Hearing Wu Tian's words, Meng Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He realized that sometimes he really couldn't keep up with this guy's thought process.

Childish!!!

Meng Fan didn't hesitate and called out, "Senior Brother Wu, please enlighten me."

What's the big deal about calling someone Senior Brother?

Before I cultivate my Divine Soul, I can call you Senior Brother or even Master every day!

As for after I cultivate my Divine Soul...

Heh!

"Junior Disciple Meng is indeed straightforward. In that case, I will fulfill your request and make this trade with you." Wu Tian felt all his pores relax after hearing Meng Fan call him Senior Brother Wu.

It was truly satisfying!

"I've already called you Senior Brother. Now, shouldn't you reveal your secret, Senior Brother Wu?" Meng Fan followed up.

"Alright."

In Meng Fan's impression, Wu Tian was a straightforward person.

But it turned out that this guy was even more straightforward than Meng Fan had imagined, agreeing without hesitation.

"Junior Disciple Meng, I was able to cultivate a Divine Soul at the Heavenly Origin Realm because of a certain treasure!" Wu Tian said smugly.

It was rare for him to surpass Meng Fan in any aspect, and he finally found an opportunity to be proud.

"What treasure?" Meng Fan asked, perfectly playing his part.

Wu Tian took out a small, crystal-clear jade stone from his storage ring. It was only the size of a thumbnail, emitting a soft glow, clearly not an ordinary item.

"What is this?" Meng Fan appropriately displayed his ignorance, satisfying Wu Tian's inner pride.

"It's a relic left by an ancestor of the Vajra Temple who failed to ascend during a tribulation!" Wu Tian said with a hint of pride.

Failing to ascend during a tribulation meant being just a step away from becoming a True Immortal.

Such a relic left by such an existence was naturally incredibly rare, even more precious than a divine sword!

"How did such a treasure end up with you?" Meng Fan asked incredulously.

A relic like this should be enshrined and treasured by the Vajra Temple. How did it end up with Wu Tian, a mere monk?

But anything is possible. After all, Meng Fan himself had a divine sword, the Azure Fish Sword.

Everyone has their own opportunities, and perhaps Wu Tian's opportunity was even greater than Meng Fan's.

"I picked it up," Wu Tian said casually.

Meng Fan could tell from his expression and tone that this thing was probably picked up from somewhere it shouldn't have been.

In other words: stolen!

[Murder]

[Theft]

This guy treated breaking precepts as casually as eating and drinking, no wonder he was expelled from his sect.

A flash of insight crossed Meng Fan's mind, and he teased Wu Tian, "Senior Brother Wu, now that you're no longer a Buddhist disciple, have you thought about getting married and having children? The Shu Mountain Sword Sect has many beautiful female disciples. Do you want me to introduce a few to you?"

Wu Tian's eyes lit up, and he seemed a bit excited.

But the next second, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, that's not appropriate, Amitabha..."

Meng Fan looked at Wu Tian's flushed face, unsure if he was blushing from embarrassment or excitement!

Anyway, it seemed that this monk not only broke the precepts of killing and stealing but also had a tendency to break the precept of lust.

The Vajra Temple had every reason to expel him.

"Introducing female disciples can wait. First, tell me what this relic does," Meng Fan said to Wu Tian.

Huh?

Why wait?

Wu Tian was slightly disappointed but didn't show it.

He continued without much enthusiasm, "There's not much to say. This relic contains some of the high monk's power, especially beneficial for Divine Sense.

I relied on it to cultivate my Divine Soul at the Heavenly Origin Realm.

If my realm weren't too low, I would have even tried to cultivate a Primordial Spirit in one go!"
