Chapter 22: I Misjudged!

"You're too kind, junior brother."

Li Xun said these words, but his actions did not match the politeness of his words. Without hesitation, he took the Golden Body Technique.

In the world of cultivation, while everyone possesses great power, they are still fundamentally human. 

As long as they remain within this world, they cannot escape the complexities of human interactions. 

Since he had helped Ye Han, it was only natural for Ye Han to give him the Golden Body Technique in return. 

If he had refused the gift, it would have seemed hypocritical.

If the situation were reversed, it might give the impression that he considered himself too superior — rejecting the Golden Body Technique, what exactly would he want instead? 

People who give without expecting anything in return are rare, not only in this world but in all the worlds.

"As long as you are pleased, senior brother," Ye Han sighed in relief.

Just moments ago, he had worried that Senior Brother Li Xun might have already obtained a defensive technique from the Scripture Pavilion. 

But now, seeing Li Xun accept the gift, Ye Han's mind was finally at ease.

"Senior brother, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer," Ye Han said with a bow.

Before coming here, he had spent quite some time inquiring about Li Xun's residence. 

During his search, he had also learned some surprising news.

That was—

Bai Shaowei and others had been expelled from the sect!

Currently, Bai Shaowei and his group had only been out of the Profound Sun Sect for less than a day. 

If he descended the mountain and searched carefully, he would not find it difficult to track them.

Recalling Bai Shaowei's ruthless tactics that night, a trace of killing intent inadvertently flashed in Ye Han's eyes.

"Take care, junior brother," Li Xun said with a smile.

On the way back, a voice, which had been silent in Ye Han's mind for a long time, suddenly spoke up again.

"I did not expect that I misjudged that night."

"Hmm?" Ye Han's heart skipped a beat, and his pace slowed significantly. 

Curious, he asked, "What did you discover, Master?"

"Last night, you asked me about Li Xun's future potential. Do you remember my answer?" The elderly voice said slowly.

"Of course, I remember," Ye Han replied without hesitation.

At that time, his master had evaluated that his potential far exceeded that of Senior Brother Li Xun. 

If nothing unexpected happened, Senior Brother Li Xun's future achievements would at most be to become an elder of the Profound Sun Sect, while he himself would step onto a much broader stage.

Of course, being an elder of the Profound Sun Sect was already a high position. 

Within tens of thousands of miles, it was a prestigious role. 

However, from a global perspective, it was somewhat lacking.

"Good that you remember."

There was a hint of confusion in the old voice. He continued, "After seeing Li Xun today, I have to admit that I had made a misjudgement."

"What did you misjudge, Master?" Ye Han became even more curious.

His master had already said twice that he had misjudged, which was a first. 

In the past, his master's evaluation of a person would almost always define that person's life with no second result. 

But unexpectedly...

Today, this evaluation had failed on Senior Brother Li Xun.

"That young friend Li Xun possesses a Pure Yang Body. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of Profound Sun Sect's Sect Master will likely fall to him in a few hundred years!" The elderly voice said solemnly.

Though the difference between an elder and a Sect Master may seem slight, there are many elders in the massive Profound Sun Sect, but only one Sect Master. 

The competition for that position is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

To emerge victorious among all the elders, one must be a true prodigy!

"The Sect Master of Profound Sun Sect?" Ye Han gasped, his eyes widening.

To him, the Sect Master of Profound Sun Sect was a legendary figure. 

A light tap of his foot could shake everything within tens of thousands of miles.

"Perhaps... the Profound Sun Sect will reach new heights under that young friend Li Xun," the elderly voice said, filled with emotion.

"Master, what do you mean? I don't quite understand," Ye Han asked.

In his eyes, the Profound Sun Sect was already a giant. 

To reach new heights, how terrifying would that be?

"The strongest in the Profound Sun Sect is only at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm, but that young friend Li Xun has the potential to surpass that and reach the Saint realm in the future!" The elderly voice paused slightly and then said earnestly, "You should maintain good relations with Li Xun; he might help you at a critical moment."

From offering guidance last night to suggesting a good relationship today, the elder's opinion of Li Xun had undergone a significant transformation.

"Maintain good relations?" Ye Han pursed his lips and then nodded, saying, "Rest assured, Master, I will remember!"

"Hmm," the elder responded softly and then fell silent.

In a small courtyard, Li Xun stood at the center.

He spoke in his mind, "System, claim the reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking—

Buzz!

Several items appeared out of thin air in the air and quickly fell to the ground.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the entire courtyard trembled, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Li Xun, quick-eyed and quick-handed, sent a strand of true essence to catch a pill that was in the middle, holding it firmly. 

The other items could fall to the ground, but this pill could not.

Looking at the round pill resting in his palm, a faint smile appeared on Li Xun's face.

Spirit Opening Pill!

Counting the one given to him by Shen Yuluan, he now had two of them. 

He could use one when he broke through and still have another one left, which could be an investment for the future. 

It could potentially yield another substantial return.

He placed the Spirit Opening Pill into a jade box and looked at the ground not far away.

A large pile of spirit stones was stacked there, about two to three meters from him. 

A rough count revealed at least tens of thousands of them. 

Of course, most of them were low-grade spirit stones, with very few middle-grade ones, and none of the high-grade ones.

Li Xun walked over, stored the spirit stones into his storage ring, and then picked up a silver-white long spear lying nearby.

This spear, called the Cloud Piercing Spear, was completely silver-white, about a foot long, and was a mid-grade magical treasure. 

It was just right for his current needs.

As for the Azure Dragon Halberd...

Its level was just too high. 

Although he could use it, it would easily draw attention. 

After all, the allure of a High-Grade spiritual treasure was deadly!

"The Star Crushing Halberd Technique pairs best with the Azure Dragon Halberd. While the Cloud Piercing Spear is a bit lacking, it's still a long weapon, so it should work."

Li Xun examined the Cloud Piercing Spear and then also placed it in his storage ring.

Finally, a small palm-sized boat caught his eye.

The moment he saw the boat, Li Xun's gaze heated up.

Royal Spirit Boat!

A low-grade flying spiritual treasure!
