Throwing My Treasure Outside?
"Thank... thank you, Senior Brother, for your help. Ye Han... will remember your kindness and repay it in the future!" Ye Han struggled to speak.
After being surrounded by eight outer disciples and suffering two heavy injuries from Bai Shaowei, it was no easy feat for him to speak at this moment.
"It was just a small effort," Li Xun replied, his face showing a warm smile. He bent down, extended his hand, and helped Ye Han up. He then said, "I see that Junior Brother Ye's injuries are not light. If you want to recover, it will likely take some time."
"Coincidentally, I have a Blood Qi Pill here, which I will give to Junior Brother Ye today."
As he spoke.
Li Xun flipped his palm, revealing a crimson pill in his hand.
"This..."
Ye Han saw the pill in Li Xun's hand, and his Adam's apple rolled. He hesitated and said, "Senior Brother has already offered his help, and Ye Han is already grateful."
"It's just a pill, Junior Brother Ye's injuries are more important."
Li Xun smiled and insisted.
Without waiting for Ye Han's response, he placed the Blood Qi Pill in Ye Han's hand.
"I..."
Ye Han opened his mouth.
He stared at the pill in his hand and felt a warm current surge through his heart. It was the first time since joining Xuanyang Sect that he had felt a hint of warmth in the cultivation world.
"Senior Brother Li..."
Ye Han took a deep breath and took a step back. Despite his injuries, he clasped his fists and bowed with difficulty, saying, "I cannot accept Senior Brother's pill."
"Just a pill, Junior Brother Ye's injuries are more important."
Li Xun said with a smile.
He didn't give Ye Han a chance to refuse and insisted on him accepting the pill.
"Then... I will take my leave."
Ye Han thought for a moment and bowed to Li Xun.
"No need for farewells."
Li Xun returned the gesture.
He watched Ye Han hobble away and then locked his gaze onto the fading figure. In his mind, he heard the familiar voice of the system.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful investment. You have obtained the Pure Yang Body and a Azure Dragon Halberd. Would the host like to claim them?]
"I won't claim them!"
Li Xun glanced around.
He was still outside, and it would be too risky to claim the rewards at this moment. If any anomalies were to occur, it would be difficult to explain.
After responding to the system, Li Xun didn't linger and hurried back to his residence.
After Li Xun left.
The spot where he stood exploded with discussion.
Although Li Xun's intervention was brief, many outer disciples witnessed everything.
"Qi Refining Realm!"
"Senior Brother Li Xun is actually in the Qi Refining Realm!"
"It seems that we will have another genius in Xuanyang Sect. To achieve the Qi Refining Realm in just two years, among all the outer disciples of Xuanyang Sect, it's truly a rare talent!"
"Not just rare talent, there are only two of them. One is Senior Brother Li Xun, and the other is Senior Sister Liu Qingshuang."
"That Ye Han is truly lucky. He received the protection of Senior Brother Li Xun. From now on, I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke him."
"Who wouldn't? He received a beating but gained a Blood Qi Pill and the care of Senior Brother Li Xun. Honestly, I want to switch places with Ye Han."
After some time.
The group of outer disciples gradually dispersed.
The news of Li Xun's breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm within two years quickly spread among the outer disciples of Xuanyang Sect.
In a thatched hut.
Li Xun returned in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room, he locked the door. Immediately, he exclaimed out loud.
"System! I want to claim the rewards!"
As soon as he said that.
"Boom!"
A loud noise resounded.
Li Xun's bed, located against the north wall, was abruptly crushed by an unknown heavy object. It was a pitch-black halberd with a coiling azure dragon, exuding a vivid presence.
Although it wasn't activated, a faint dragon aura emanated from it.
If fully activated, Li Xun even suspected that the azure dragon on it would come to life.
"Azure Dragon Halberd!"
Li Xun's eyes lit up, followed by a moment of darkness.
Damn it!
This system is so unreliable. Couldn't it have provided a system space for me, rather than just thrown my treasure outside?
Not only did it throw it outside, but it also smashed my bed!
Li Xun mentally complained about the system.
He took a few steps forward, reached out with one hand, and touched the surface of the Azure Dragon Halberd. The halberd was cool to the touch and carried a trace of spirituality that indicated it was no ordinary item.
He grabbed the Azure Dragon Halberd, trying to lift it... but it didn't budge.
"Hmm?"
"It's so heavy?"
Li Xun was astonished. With his strength at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and the power of tens of thousands of jin, he couldn't even lift the Azure Dragon Halberd!
"It seems I need to make the Halberd recognize me as its owner first."
Li Xun seemed to have realized something. He bit his fingertip, forcing out a drop of blood, which dripped onto the Azure Dragon Halberd.
Soon after, The Azure Dragon Halberd emitted a dragon roar, and the azure dragon on it seemed to come alive. The terrifying dragon aura, like that of Wang Yang, quickly spread.
This pressure surpassed the Qi Refining Realm, making Li Xun feel insignificantly small in front of the Azure Dragon Halberd.
Luckily, the Dragon Halberd recognized him as its owner.
Otherwise, even with his cultivation at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, standing in front of the Azure Dragon Halberd would likely have been enough to shake him to death!
"Roar!"
In the next moment.
A dragon's roar shook the heavens.
Radiant brilliance erupted from the Azure Dragon Halberd, filling the room with divine light.
Li Xun's eyes widened in shock. He waved his hand, and the Azure Dragon Halberd turned into a stream of light, quickly disappearing into his dantian.
"Phew!"
Seeing the Azure Dragon Halberd quietly lying in his dantian, Li Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't caused too much commotion.
Otherwise.
If news of a top-grade spiritual treasure being revealed spread throughout Xuanyang Sect, it would surely cause a stir.
"System, where is my Pure Yang Body?"
After putting away the Azure Dragon Halberd, Li Xun suddenly remembered that his investment in Ye Han wasn't just for one reward. Besides the Azure Dragon Halberd, there was also the Pure Yang Body!
