Chapter 63: Then I can't have no response

"Enlightenment Pill?"

Li Xun's eyes lit up.

The last time he had one, he knew just how powerful the Enlightenment Pill was.

With this pill, he might be able to attempt practicing the Great Yan Divine Technique.

A High-Grade Heaven-Ranked cultivation technique!

Just thinking about it made him eager.

Li Xun found a clean stone, gently placed Liu Qingshuang on it, and then walked towards Elder Xie.

He approached Elder Xie from behind.

Li Xun spoke, "Elder, do you happen to like the corpses of these two extraterritorial demons?"

"You're back?" Elder Xie turned around, looked at Li Xun, and smiled, "extraterritorial demons have not appeared in this realm for countless years. Each corpse is of extraordinary value."

"I do have a preference for them. I wonder..."

Elder Xie pondered in his heart what price he should offer to make Li Xun part with them.

"Since Elder Xie likes them, then I'll give them to Elder Xie," Li Xun said casually.

For him, these two corpses were absolutely useless, and he had no knowledge of crafting. Keeping them would only take up space. Giving them to Elder Xie today was a perfect opportunity to exchange for an Enlightenment Pill.

"Give them to me?" Elder Xie raised an eyebrow, somewhat disbelieving. He said in a serious tone, "Do you know the value of the bodies of extraterritorial demons? Their world is different from ours!"

"Extraterritorial demons start refining their bodies from the beginning of their cultivation. It can be said that their bodies are their most precious treasure. Their value is comparable to that of demon clan demon cores!"

Demon cores were quite precious in this world, as they contained the essence of a demon's life.

But compared to the corpses of extraterritorial demons, there was still a significant difference. There were many demon clans in this world, but there were no extraterritorial demons.

When comparing the two, the difference in value was obvious.

"They are just extraterritorial demons at the Profound Core Realm. Left in the hands of someone like me, they are nothing more than lifeless objects. By giving them to Elder Xie today, I can make the most of them," Li Xun said.

Elder Xie didn't respond immediately. He thought for a moment and then produced a jade token from his hand, handing it to Li Xun. He said solemnly, "The bodies of extraterritorial demons are of extraordinary value. Since you want to give them to me, I cannot let it go without any reciprocation."

"After returning to the Xuanyang Sect, take this jade token with you and select a middle-grade Earth-ranked technique from the Scripture Pavilion. If someone asks, say it's my decision!"

"Thank you very much, Elder." Li Xun received the jade token with joy.

Each small increase in grade for Earth-ranked techniques would multiply their value several times.

Furthermore...

He also had a technique advancement talisman that would allow him to upgrade the rank of a technique by a major realm in one go.

On the surface, Elder Xie had given him a middle-grade Earth-ranked technique, but in reality, he had given him a middle-grade Heaven-ranked technique!

The difference in value between Earth-ranked techniques of different grades was already significant.

If applied to Heaven-ranked techniques, it would be even more astonishing.

"I should be the one thanking you. Considering their rarity, extraterritorial demons are extremely scarce." Elder Xie waved his hand and continued, "Today, I'll consider it as me owing you a favor."

"By the way."

Elder Xie remembered something and continued, "The Earth-ranked technique is just one of the rewards. When we return to the sect, there should be other rewards as well."

"At that time, I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you."

"There is more?" Li Xun's eyes lit up. He understood that his earlier gesture of giving Elder Xie the corpses of the extraterritorial demons had paid off.

Without that action, he would probably have to personally claim any rewards. But now, things were different; Elder Xie was arranging for someone to deliver them directly to him. It seemed that even in the world of cultivation, interpersonal relationships were unavoidable.

After thanking Elder Xie, Li Xun nodded slightly, not saying much.

He waved his sleeve, and all the corpses of the extraterritorial demons on the ground were collected. Then he glanced at the inner disciples who had already been brought back.

Deep in his eyes, a trace of gloominess could be seen.

Over a thousand people had come out, but now, counting the losses, there were only a little over five hundred remaining.

More than half of the inner disciples had been lost here, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Xuanyang Sect.

"Golden Lion!"

Elder Xie called out.

In the void, a massive golden lion roared as if it had received some kind of command. Its already over ten meters tall body expanded several times, resembling a small mountain.

It exuded an intimidating aura.

Elder Xie lightly waved his sleeve, a gentle breeze lifting all the inner disciples onto the back of the golden lion. Once everyone was seated securely, the golden lion transformed into a golden light and quickly flew towards the Xuanyang Sect.

Back at the sect, everyone dispersed.

Li Xun, however, headed to the Scripture Pavilion on his own.

Before long, when he arrived beneath the Scripture Pavilion, the same purple-robed elder blocked his way. He glanced at the identity jade token hanging from Li Xun's waist.

"Your sect contribution is insufficient to enter the Scripture Pavilion."

Li Xun had already anticipated this and took out the jade token given to him by Elder Xie, handing it over directly.

"Hmm?"

The purple-robed elder's face slightly changed as he examined the jade token. He asked in surprise, "Elder Xie sent you here?"

"Yes."

Li Xun nodded.

The purple-robed elder's attitude softened a bit. He stepped aside and said, "Go in, but remember you only have one hour. You can select a technique on the upper three levels."

"Thank you."

Li Xun expressed his gratitude and then entered the Scripture Pavilion.

Inside, he glanced around the entire first level of the Scripture Pavilion. Many outer disciples were gradually emitting a white light from their bodies.

At the same time, he heard the voice of the system in his mind.

"As expected, the Scripture Pavilion is still my treasure trove!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Xun's eyes.

After spending more than half an hour and investing in more than twenty disciples, Li Xun finally stopped his actions with a sense of satisfaction. He then walked confidently towards the upper three levels.

On the spot, many disciples gazed at Li Xun with admiration.

When he reached the ninth level of the Scripture Pavilion, he noticed that there were significantly fewer techniques available here. Earth-ranked techniques were incredibly precious, and even in a large sect like the Xuanyang Sect, there were only seventy-three of them, including the upper, middle, and lower grades.

Excluding the High-grade Earth-ranked techniques, which he couldn't choose, and the Low-grade Earth-ranked techniques that he didn't fancy, he was left with only seventeen techniques to choose from.

After careful consideration for a while, Li Xun finally found a technique that caught his eye.

The Radiant Star Heaven Weaving Scripture!

After transferring everything into his identity jade token, Li Xun quickly returned to his residence.
