The Old Man Turned Out to Be Wrong!

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother." 

While Li Xun said this, his actions were swift, and he directly accepted the Golden Body Technique.

In the world of cultivation, although everyone had strong abilities, they were ultimately human and couldn't transcend this realm. Hence, interpersonal relationships were unavoidable. Li Xun had helped Ye Han, and now Ye Han wanted to repay his debt by giving him the Golden Body Technique. It was only reasonable for Li Xun to accept it.

"As long as Senior Brother is satisfied," Ye Han replied gratefully.

He had been worried that Li Xun might have obtained a defensive technique in the Scripture Pavilion earlier. However, when he saw Li Xun accept the gift, his anxiety was finally eased.

"Senior Brother, I won't disturb you any further with other matters," Ye Han said, arching his hand in farewell.

On his way to Li Xun's residence, Ye Han had also received unexpected news - Bai Shaowei and the others had been expelled from the sect!

Now, it hadn't even been a day since Bai Shaowei and his group left the Xuanyang Sect. If Ye Han carefully searched around while leaving the mountain, he would easily find their traces. Thinking of Bai Shaowei's vicious methods from that night, a hint of killing intent flashed through Ye Han's eyes.

"Take care, Junior Brother," Li Xun smiled and bid him farewell.

As he returned to his small courtyard, Ye Han's steps slowed down, and he heard the aged voice that had been silent for a long time speak again in his mind.

"I never thought that I would be mistaken."

"Hmm?" Ye Han's curiosity was piqued, and he slowed his pace even more. "What did you discover, Master?"

"Yesterday, you asked me about Li Xun's future potential, do you still remember my answer?" the aged voice said slowly.

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

At that time, his master had said that his potential far surpassed Li Xun's. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Xun's future achievement would be limited to the position of an elder in the Xuanyang Sect, while Ye Han was destined for a broader stage.

"Your memory is still good."

In the aged voice, a trace of confusion could be heard. He continued, "Today, upon seeing Li Xun once more, even I have to admit that I was wrong! That night, I misjudged him."

"What do you mean by Master being mistaken?" Ye Han became even more curious. His master had said "mistaken" twice, which was unusual.

Before, his master's evaluation of someone usually determined that person's lifelong achievement, and there would be no other results.

But now...

Today, it seemed that Li Xun had defied those evaluations.

"That Li Xun possesses a Pure Yang Body. If there are no accidents befall upon him, he will likely become the future Sect Master of the Xuanyang Sect, maybe several hundred years later," the aged voice said gravely.

Ye Han's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp. To him, the position of the Xuanyang Sect Master was already a legendary existence. Just a light stomp of the foot could shake the area for tens of thousands of miles.

"Perhaps... the Xuanyang Sect will reach a new level under Li Xun's leadership," the aged voice sighed.

"Master, what do you mean? I don't quite understand," Ye Han said, growing even more curious.

In his opinion, the Xuanyang Sect was already a behemoth. If it reached a new level, how terrifying would that be?

"The strongest in the Xuanyang Sect is only at the pinnacle of the Divine Palace Realm, but Li Xun has the potential to become a Saint in the future!" the aged voice said, its tone containing a trace of lament. "You should become friends with Li Xun. He may help you at a critical moment."

From a show of support last night to becoming friends today, the old man's opinion of Li Xun had undergone a significant change without any warning.

"Make friends?" Ye Han pursed his lips, then nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master, I will try my best!"

"Good," the old man responded with a light hum before falling silent once again.

In the courtyard, Li Xun stood at the center, saying, "System, claim the rewards!"

As he spoke, several items appeared in the air and quickly fell.

"Boom!"

A loud noise shook the entire courtyard, raising a cloud of dust.

Li Xun reacted quickly and shot out a strand of true energy to catch a pill, but the rest of the items fell to the ground.

The pill was a Spirit Cleansing Pill!

Including the one given by Shen Yulu, he now had two of them. One for his breakthrough and one left over, which he could use for investment. It might bring him a considerable profit in the future.

Li Xun put the Spirit Cleansing Pill into a jade box and then looked at a large pile of spirit stones lying on the ground, a few meters away from him.

There were tens of thousands of them, but most were low-grade spirit stones. There were very few middle-grade ones, and there were none of the high-grade ones.

Li Xun walked over and collected the spirit stones into his storage ring. Then, he picked up a silvery-white spear lying nearby.

This spear was called the Broken Cloud Spear, entirely silver-white and about one zhang long (about three meters). It was a middle-grade spiritual treasure, which was suitable for his current cultivation level.

As for the Azure Dragon Halberd...

Its grade was just too high, and while he could use it, it would easily attract unwanted attention. After all, the allure of an extremely high-grade spiritual treasure was fatal!

"The Broken Star Halberd Technique is best paired with the Azure Dragon Halberd, and while the Broken Cloud Spear falls a bit short, it should be usable."

Li Xun examined the Broken Cloud Spear before storing it into his storage ring.

Finally, his eyes fell upon a small boat about the size of a palm.

At the sight of the boat, Li Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Spirit Navigational Boat!

A low-grade flying spiritual treasure!
