Chapter 222: Dare to Try (2)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
As he spoke, Ye Wudao looked at Chen Daoxuan with a threatening gaze.” Junior, do you dare?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan remained silent.
So that was the case.
Chen Daoxuan instantly understood the other party’s plan.
It turned out that the other party had long guessed that he was able to have such a valiant battle record. He must have borrowed some kind of external force.
These comments were to confuse the external force of the White Lotus of
Creation with the external force of the sect master’s faction. Then, they wanted him to make an oath of the Great Dao to attack the reputation of the sect master’s faction.
As for Chen Daoxuan himself, in the eyes of the forces behind Ye Wudao, he was simply a dispensable small character. No one would care about his life or death.
How vicious!
Chen Daoxuan’s fingers tightened slightly.
He had two choices now. One was to expose his life-bound magical treasure, the White Lotus of Fate, and the other was to remain silent.
But sometimes, silence was often an admission.
The elder faction behind Ye Wudao only needed him to remain silent.
The test of the Cangzhou cultivators and the elimination of the corpse tide was the common decision of all the higher-ups of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
Chen Daoxuan was silent. It meant that the sect master’s faction was playing favoritism in this test, deliberately suppressing the elders ‘faction.
This would undoubtedly push many elders who had originally chosen to be neutral to the Third Elder’s side.
They could not help but wonder if Ye Wudao’s escape was because he was afraid of death or if the sect master’s faction wanted to harm him.
After all.
Using Ye Wudao and the Azure Continent Immortal City as bait was proposed by the Sea-suppressing Hall Master, who was a hardcore supporter of the sect master of the Qian Essence Sword Sect.
It was difficult to doubt whether the hall master of the Sea Suppression Hall wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Ye Wudao.
Everyone even thought about the fall of the Southern Mountain’s City back then. Was it as simple as what everyone saw? Was it caused by Ye Wudao’s escape or was there another reason?
There were some things that one could not think deeply about, or else it would reveal the smell of a conspiracy.
Confuse the public!
Chen Daoxuan immediately understood that Ye Wudao’s fight for credit was fake. The Elder Faction behind him wanted to confuse the public and suppress the Sect Leader Faction.
Thinking of this…
Chen Daoxuan knew that it was time for him to make a choice.
Even though he didn’t want to get involved in this kind of factional conflict, he had no choice at the moment.
Right now, his cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although his strength was comparable to that of a Zifu Disciple, all the higher-ups of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect present were at least at the Nascent Soul stage.
His meager strength could not enter everyone’s eyes at all.
Another chess piece…
Chen Daoxuan hated this feeling, but he knew better than anyone else what it meant to be a wise man.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands at everyone and said seriously,””Reporting to the sect master and elders! I did borrow external help in the battle to exterminate the corpse tide in Cang Prefecture!”
Hearing this.
Ye Wudao’s mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Even Ye Yin’s eyes, who was behind him, moved slightly.
“However, I’m borrowing external power, not from outsiders, but from it!”
As he spoke, a stream of light flew out from Chen Daoxuan’s dantian and turned into a white lotus flower. It floated in the air and spun slowly.
From the spirituality of this white lotus, everyone could roughly tell that it was a Level Three magic tool.
Even though the grade of a Tier 3 magic tool was not low, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of everyone.
The magic tools they used were at least Level Five and above. How could they be interested in a mere Level Three magic tool?
Chen Daoxuan continued to explain.” This magical equipment is called the White Lotus of Fate. It is a magical equipment that 1 created myself. Its function is very simple. It can store the True Essence of a Foundation Building cultivator.
The White Lotus of Fate in my hand can store at most ten times the cultivation essence of a cultivator. It is because of this that I have enough cultivation essence to kill so many zombies!”
“A magic tool that stores Quintessential Essence?”
“Isn’t this very similar to the magic tool that Hall Master Huyan had been thinking about?”
“Interesting!”
“It’s just that its grade is too low for us to use. Moreover, I don’t know if it’s troublesome to refine.”
Chen Daoxuan’s words immediately attracted the gazes of many elders over.
A magic tool that could store true essence was indeed enough to arouse everyone’s interest.
Of course, he was only a little interested.
After all, according to Chen Daoxuan’s introduction, this magical item called the White Lotus of Fate could only be used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators at most.
Whether or not it would be able to allow Zifu Disciples to store magic power was still unknown.
Even if it could allow Zifu Disciples to store magic power, it would be of little value to Nascent Soul cultivators.
This was because not only was the quality of the magic power of a Nascent Soul cultivator completely different from that of a Zifu Disciple, but the quantity was so great that it caused Zifu Disciples to feel despair.
The two were not on the same level at all.
The ability to store magic power was not even a drop in the bucket.
Of course, to low-level cultivators, this magic tool was definitely a divine tool!
Hearing Chen Daoxuan’s introduction, Ye Wudao’s face immediately darkened.
He hurriedly cupped his hands at everyone and said anxiously,”Elders, let’s not talk about whether this magic tool is real or fake. If he says he created it, does that mean he really created it?
What if someone bestowed a treasure? Suppressing the corpse tide in Cangzhou is a test that everyone has jointly decided to give to the Cangzhou cultivators. No one is allowed to play favoritism! Otherwise, where would the dignity of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect be?”
After saying that.
Ye Wudao looked at Chen Daoxuan.” Young man, you said that you created this magical equipment. Can you produce any evidence?””
“I wonder what evidence Fellow Daoist Ye is talking about?”
Hearing this.
Ye Wudao smiled triumphantly.””You just said that you created this level three magic tool. I wonder if you can create a magic tool on the spot?”
Creating magic tools was not refining magic tools.
The difference in difficulty was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Even the most talented artifact craftsman of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect dared not say that he would create a magic tool on the spot.
Inside the hall.
A cultivator in a fiery red Daoist robe frowned and scolded,”Ye Wudao, are you looking down on me?”
Hearing this.
Ye Wudao’s face turned pale. He immediately knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.”Hall Master Huyan, I dare not! It was just that this junior was boasting that he could create his own Level Three magic tool. Wudao was really not convinced!
The cultivators of the Artifact Refining Hall of the Qianyuan Sword Sect think hard day and night, and they might not be able to create a few artifacts in their lifetime. However, this kid, who is only twenty years old, bragged that he created these artifacts. How arrogant!”
Hearing this explanation, the cultivator called Hall Master Huyan nodded slightly.
As the most famous Palace Master of the Weapon Refining Palace, he had always hated the factional disputes in the sect.
Sometimes, he also felt disgusted by the actions of the sect master. If the sect master didn’t like to stir up trouble so much, why would there be factional disputes in the Qianyuan Sword Sect?
As the heir appointed by the previous sect master of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, coupled with the hardcore support of the Sea-calming Palace Master, who would be stupid enough to oppose her?
But…
The Weapon Refinement Palace Lord shook his head and looked at Chen
Daoxuan: “Your name is Chen Daoxuan?”
“Senior, yes!”
Chen Daoxuan lowered his head. It was another mighty cultivator whose strength could not be seen at all.
“You just said that you created this magic tool?”
Hall Master Huyan stretched out his hand, and the Third Grade White Lotus of Fate in front of Chen Daoxuan flew into his hand.
Chen Daoxuan felt his connection with his life-bound magical treasure suddenly cut off.
“Senior, it was created by this junior!”
Chen Daoxuan lowered his head and said respectfully.
After observing the White Lotus of Fate for a while, the Palace Master of the Weapon Refinement Palace’s expression gradually turned serious.
After a while.
He returned the White Lotus of Fate and said with a smile,””Interesting. Since you said that you created this magic tool, then let me test you. How about it?”
Although these words were said to Chen Daoxuan, his eyes were looking at the third elder, Ye Yin.
Third Elder saw Hall Master Huyan’s gaze and did not dare to be negligent. He cupped his hands solemnly and said,””Since Hall Master Huyan is willing to test this junior, we will naturally acknowledge him.”
Hall Master Huyan then looked at the Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
An ethereal and gentle voice was heard.’Tlall Master Huyan, please go ahead.”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Hall Master Huyan cupped his hands towards the Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
Finally, he looked at Chen Daoxuan and said,””The Dao of Artifact Refining is profound. Junior, do you dare to accept my test?”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan felt the 30 stardusts in his sea of consciousness. He stepped forward and cupped his hands.”Junior dares to try!”
“Alright!” Hall Master Huyan nodded..
