Chapter 876 - 876 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2

Chapter 876: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2 Chapter 876: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2 Yan Shaoyin asked with a smile.

Fu Zongjue naturally wouldn’t tell the truth, “He has been at the Foundation Establishment for less than twenty years, and it’s only because he has cultivated the Sword Sha and possesses great combat strength that he stands out. He is still far from reaching Core Formation.”

Yan Shaoyin said, “That is true, but given his talents, he should reach the Perfection of Foundation Establishment quite quickly, shouldn’t he?”

Fu Zongjue asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Yan Shaoyin mentioned, “Given Zhao Xuankang’s style, he wouldn’t ignore such a talent from the Divine Wood Sect.”

Fu Zongjue demanded, “Has he been seeking you out?”

Yan Shaoyin replied, “We’ve met once, but I’m not going to tell you the specifics of our conversation.”

After hearing Yan Shaoyin’s reminder, Fu Zongjue nodded slightly, acknowledging the goodwill implied.

After leaving Back to Sky Valley, Fu Zongjue’s Puppet Body suddenly split into four and departed in four different directions.

“This guy, he’s really cautious, huh. Is there a need to take action and intercept him now?”

Nanxuan Jing, who was lying in wait, furrowed his brows upon seeing this and turned to look at Zhao Xuankang beside him. After pondering for a moment, the latter shook his head.

“We still don’t know what Elixir the Divine Wood Sect is collaborating with Back to Sky Valley to refine. Besides, we might not even be able to track the Puppet carrying the Elixir. Let’s not stir the grass and startle the snake, triggering a premature decisive battle with the Divine Wood Sect.”

After hearing this, Nanxuan Jing still felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.

“What could it be other than Infant Forming Spirit Medicine? Over the years, they’ve exchanged and purchased so many Thousand Year Medicine Herbs through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild. It’s undoubtedly to aid Zhou Shengqing in ‘Nascent Soul Formation’.”

During his last bout with Zhou Shengqing, Nanxuan Jing had used a Secret Technique to sense the latter’s Perfect Core Formation Realm. Over the years, the two of them had mobilized the forces of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, monitoring every move of the Divine Wood Sect.

Finally, two years ago, the alliance between the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley was discovered.

However, the primary motive was still to refine the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.

Yan Shaoyin had exhausted his contacts and relationships to gather the ingredients for the previous two batches; for the third batch, there simply weren’t enough Thousand Year Medicine Herbs, compelling the Divine Wood Sect to make arrangements to purchase and exchange them from Sun Bathing Sea.

Even though Fu Zongjue had been as discreet as possible, he was still detected by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the local power in the Eastern Wasteland. Following up on the leads, they discovered that Yan Shaoyin was helping the Divine Wood Sect refine a Rank-4 Elixir.

Because of this matter, Zhao Xuankang personally went to Back to Sky Valley to probe around, only to be brushed off by the old and sly Yan Shaoyin.

“Having suffered at the hands of Ancestor Hunyuan, Yan Shaoyin wouldn’t allow another Nascent Soul Ancestor to rise in the Eastern Wilderness.”

Zhao Xuankang didn’t fully agree with Nanxuan Jing’s judgment.

He was well-acquainted with all of the Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness and understood Yan Shaoyin’s personality and character. He felt that no matter how tempting it was, Yan Shaoyin would not assist Zhou Shengqing in ‘Nascent Soul Formation’.

“Aside from Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, what other Elixir could it be that would lead the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley to join forces in refining? Could it possibly be one that raises Golden Core Cultivation? Do Yan Shaoyin and Fu Zongjue also want Perfect Core Formation?”

After listening, Nanxuan Jing also felt that Zhao Xuankang’s reasoning made sense and began to speculate further.

“Junior Brother, besides that, I’ve thought of another possibility. What they’re refining, could it be the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine?”

A glint of sharpness flashed through Zhao Xuankang’s aged eyes as he spoke a sentence that first made Nanxuan Jing frown and then suddenly realize.

“Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine? That’s not impossible. The Divine Wood Sect has two at the Completion of Foundation Establishment. If they could add another Golden Core Cultivator, it might just change the situation in the Eastern Wasteland.”

After hearing this, Zhao Xuankang shook his head, “Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu are not worth worrying about. The hope of their Core Formation is less than twenty percent. I’m concerned about Chen Guixian.”

“Chen Guixian!?”

Upon hearing this name, Nanxuan Jing thought of his two disciples who had perished in the Eastern Wasteland. They were the ones he had pinned his hopes on to carry on his legacy.

He had believed that as long as they didn’t encounter a Golden Core opponent, they would be invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.

But just as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were slain by that Chen Guixian.

Though reluctant to admit it, by comparing the deaths and defeats of his own disciples, he could tell that Chen Guixian’s talent was no lesser than that of the Taoist Child of their Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

If it weren’t for being in the remote Eastern Wilderness, Chen Guixian might have already soared to great heights, perhaps even already at Core Formation, just like their Taoist Children.

“If it really is the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, what shall we do?”

After being reminded by Zhao Xuankang, Nanxuan Jing also realized the gravity of the issue.

Chen Guixian was invincible among his peers after cultivating the Sword Sha during his Foundation Establishment. If he truly succeeds in Core Formation with his unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao, wouldn’t he be another Mo Douguang!

“The Great Elder hasn’t decided to make a move yet, so for now, we can’t directly conflict with the Divine Wood Sect. Let’s just make some subtle moves behind the scenes,” Zhao Xuankang said calmly, and then he parted ways with Nanxuan Jing, making his way deep into Yun Meng Ze.

After two months of continuous flying and approaching the Dongwu Domain, he arrived at a mist-enshrouded island.

“Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s Zhao Xuankang pays his respects,” he called out while hovering in midair, his voice reverberating deeply from his Dantian toward the island.

“Zhao Xuankang? I didn’t expect you would actually find this place,” a sinister voice emerged from inside the island, as a monstrous cloud of mist condensed into a giant ghostly face, towering over the diminutive Zhao Xuankang.

“Tu Daohua, when you showed yourself in our Xuan Xiao Immortal City, I granted you a favor. Do you acknowledge this debt?”
