Chapter 235 Elixir King Scripture (2/2)

”Some three thousand years ago. The large sects from the five main continents worked together to hold the assembly, with the Immortals' League acting as the host. In the beginning, it was held every other year. Then, it was held every thirty years. Currently, it's held every ten years.”

Xiao Chen said nothing as he digested this information. Why was the assembly held increasingly frequently?

”I heard the rewards for the top three are particularly generous this time around, attracting the attention of countless sects. That's why this time around, there are more participants than usual.”

Xiao Chen nodded. For some reason, he was beginning to find this Immortal's Sword Assembly to be anything but simple. Regardless, he would do his best this time. It would do him good to meet those from the Fallen Immortals Sect.

Then, Fengxi and the rest got together and left. He didn't know where they were heading. Yu Yifeng returned to his room and started meditating. With furrowed brows, Xiao Chen went back to his room. The Fallen Immortals Sect was very strange to him. He vowed that he would reach the Nascent Soul Realm within three months no matter what, so he could stand a chance against powerful opponents.

After lightning the candlelight, he fished out the Elixir King Scripture that Gui Xian gave him and pored over it. The scripture not only contained numerous methods to refine medicine, but also prescriptions for countless long-extinct magic potions.

”Evolution of Tao Pills, low-grade. Cultivators who consume this pill will temporarily experience heightened sensitivity to Spiritual Qi, allowing their cultivation progress to speed up…”

Xiao Chen mulled over the entry of the Evolution of Tao Pills and committed the making process and all the ingredients listed in the prescription to memory. He continued until it was near midnight, when a burst of cold wind infiltrated his room through the window and caused the candle flame inside to flicker.

”Who is it?!”

Xiao Chen yelled in a low voice, unleashing his Unsullied Sword at the same time. The sword transformed into a white light and charged out of the window.

”Ah, Handsome Brother! It's me! Are you going to kill me?” A hushed teenage girl's voice came from outside the window.

Xiao Chen's figure went out of focus and in the next moment, he was outside the house. Under the moonlight, a red-clothed girl was standing behind a flowering tree in the courtyard. The Unsullied Sword hovered in mid-air as it emitted a flickering cold radiance at the tip of its blade. It stopped a mere inch away from her mid-brows.

”What are you doing here?”

Frowning, Xiao Chen immediately recognized her to be the girl from the Devil's Practice, Yu Linglong.

”Sob… Handsome Brother, don't be so fierce. I heard they captured you and came here out of fear for your safety.”

”Whether I'm in trouble or near death, both have nothing to do with you!” Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves coldly, retrieving his Unsullied Sword.

Yu Linglong sighed in relief. She took a few steps forward with a grin. ”But…”

”No 'buts'! Good and evil cannot travel down the same path. If I see you again, I promise I won't show you any mercy. Leave now!” Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve, sending a sword flying at her.

Under the moonlight, the cold radiance coming from the Unsullied Sword flickered. It looked both emotionless and ruthless.

Yu Linglong stopped in her tracks. Pouting, she said quietly, ”Handsome Brother, do you hate seeing me that much…?”

Right then, Yu Yifeng's voice came from another house. ”Junior Brother Xiao, why aren't you asleep at this hour?”

Xiao Chen frowned. He glared at Yu Linglong, earning him a scoff from her. With a leap, she disappeared amidst the hazy moonlight.

”I'm just taking a walk since I can't sleep. Brother Yifeng, please rest early,” Xiao Chen said, staring in the direction where Yu Linglong disappeared in. His heart suddenly ached, reminding him of Hua Weiyang.

If he hadn't met her then, perhaps… There was no perhaps. He didn't regret his decision.

After a long time, a quiet sigh came from Yu Yifeng's room.
