Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 59: Presumably, It Can Also Conceal the Heavenly Mechanism

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the Holy Lord." Lin Ming smiled bitterly and slowly said, "The purpose of the two elders of the Great Yin Sect going to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was to invite them to visit the Radiant Light Holy Land. Instead of being grateful, the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion took action to kill the two elders."

"Such a thing happened?" Hearing this, the Radiant Light Holy Lord raised his eyebrows, and muttered, "Someone skilled in deducing heavenly secrets unexpectedly possesses such high strength. Interesting!"

In this world, whether adept at deducing heavenly secrets or skilled in alchemy and artifact refining, they shared a common trait: their strength was generally not very high because most of their thoughts were not focused on cultivation.

However, even if their strength was low, no one dared to underestimate them.

Now, the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, who was proficient in deducing heavenly secrets, not only possessed such abilities but also had strength surpassing that of a Saint. This made him quite formidable.

Because such individuals could deduce a myriad of things!

"Elder Lin, please make a trip to the back mountain and ask Master Leng to come out. Let him go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and see if he can bring back the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

The Radiant Light Holy Lord composedly said, his voice gentle, "If he can't bring him back… Then directly extract his soul and bring back his memories!"

"Extract his soul?" Lin Ming was momentarily stunned, his eyes suddenly chilling.

Killing someone was one thing, but extracting their soul seemed to cross a line.

Although the righteous path possessed such methods, they were rarely used openly.

Someone as straightforward as the Radiant Light Holy Lord was a minority.

"Does Elder Lin find it strange? Don't you wonder about the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's methods in deducing heavenly secrets. Moreover…" The Radiant Light Holy Lord sighed, his voice low, "This is also for the sake of the Radiant Light Holy Land. Since the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is unwilling to join the Radiant Light Holy Land, then we have no choice but to cultivate our own Master of the Heavenly Secret!

"Only by obtaining his cultivation method can we understand how he deduced the heavenly secrets! More importantly, he may also possess the Borrowing the Luck to Become a Saint technique!"

Speaking of the Borrowing the Luck to Become a Saint technique, Lin Ming's eyes lit up.

This technique was incredibly precious, and even the formidable Radiant Light Holy Land coveted it.

Unfortunately, when Hong Yuanshan, representing the Radiant Light Holy Land, went to exchange with the Great Yin God Emperor, their request was rejected.

The Great Yin Dynasty was strong, and without a valid excuse, directly threatening them would tarnish the Radiant Light Holy Land's reputation and might even provoke hostility from other Holy Lands.

If things backfired, the Radiant Light Holy Land's reputation could be greatly damaged.

Now, a better opportunity had presented itself, and Lin Ming was intrigued.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion was not like other Holy Lands.

In the eyes of the Radiant Light Holy Land, it was a soft target.

Killing two pseudo-Saints would not matter much to the Radiant Light Holy Land.

After a brief consideration, Lin Ming nodded and said, "I will take care of it."

As he turned to leave, the Radiant Light Holy Lord spoke again, "Elder Lin, wait a moment."

"Holy Lord, what else do you command?" Lin Ming halted, wearing a puzzled expression as he inquired.

"Later, fetch a Heaven and Earth Nurturing Pill and send it to the Tian Gang Sect. They've suffered the loss of two Saints, and their vitality is greatly damaged. This pill might help them recover some strength."

"This…?" Lin Ming frowned, glancing at his Holy Lord with a perplexed look.

He asked in a low voice, "Holy Lord, isn't this too valuable?"

The Heaven and Earth Nurturing Pill was different from pseudo-Saint pills; it was a genuine pill that could aid in becoming a Saint.

Of course, it didn't guarantee 100% success but increased the likelihood.

Even so, it was still extremely precious.

Each of the spirit herbs used to refine this pill was at the Saint Grade, with a growth cycle of at least several thousand years.

The main herb alone could take tens of thousands of years to mature.

Even after investing thousands of years of effort, there was no guarantee of success with every batch of pills.

Even if successful, each batch might yield only two or three pills.

Internally, the Radiant Light Holy Land didn't have enough for its own use, let alone to spare for outsiders.

What surprised him was that today, the Holy Lord was willing to part with one pill to give to the Tian Gang Sect.

In Lin Ming's view, this was somewhat undervaluing the situation.

The Tian Gang Sect's leader had been at the Holy Lord Peak for nearly a thousand years.

While this pill could address his urgent need, it seemed excessive.

"The Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect has reached the peak of the Holy Lord for nearly a thousand years. This pill can ease his current predicament, ensuring that they occasionally send some benefits. This will make them more loyal to the Radiant Light Holy Land, don't you think?"

The Radiant Light Holy Lord smiled.

He understood that the Heaven and Earth Nurturing Pill was indeed valuable, but under the circumstances, he needed to make a statement.

After all, the Tian Gang Sect had suffered the loss of two Saints for the sake of the Radiant Light Holy Land.

"Lin understands." Lin Ming nodded, not saying much more.

He gave a slight bow, then turned to leave.

As the Radiant Light Holy Lord watched Lin Ming's departing figure, he murmured to himself, "The Borrowing the Luck to Become a Saint technique…" He clicked his tongue lightly and said, "It's a pity; it's useless for me!"

"But peering into the heavenly secrets has some use. If the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion can deduce the heavenly secrets, he probably can conceal it as well…"

As his words fell, his aura suddenly changed. He now exuded the presence of a Saint!
