Chapter 577 Ling Xiao
Huo Qinghuang looked at these gifts without changing her expression, and just nodded slightly.
These things are naturally regarded as treasures in the eyes of mortal monks.
But for Huo Qinghuang, he was not even qualified to be used by her.
But she didn't show any disgust.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Master Zhang."
She said in a gentle tone, "Please report this to Master Zhang, the Huo family will keep it in mind."
Seeing this, Master Ling Yan felt slightly relieved.
At least I didn't reject it on the spot.
Soon after, major sects such as Wudang, Maoshan, and Laoshan also came forward to offer gifts.
Someone presented a volume of "Taiyi Shendan Jing", which was said to have been left by Taiyi Zhenren's direct disciple.
Someone presented an eighty-year-old purple sun grass, which is said to increase the success rate of elixirs.
Someone else brought an antique copper furnace, which was said to be a treasure used by an alchemist three hundred years ago.
There were so many precious things on display that Huo Lingchuan was dazzled and he almost couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
But when he saw that Huo Qinghuang remained indifferent, he tactfully shut his mouth.
It was not until the end that Wu Yunzi, the head of Sanqing Palace, slowly walked forward.
He was wearing a black Taoist robe, his hair and beard were all white, he had an immortal look and a calm temperament, and at first glance he was obviously an old immortal who had practiced Taoism for many years.
Beside him, the young Taoist priest named Ling Xiao lowered his head with a respectful expression, but his extraordinary temperament could not be concealed.
"I am Wuyunzi, nice to meet you, Daoist Fellow Huo."
Wu Yunzi bowed his head and saluted, his tone calm and sincere, "This time, in addition to giving gifts, I also have a precious treasure that I would like to give to Fellow Daoist Huo."
As he said this, he winked at Ling Xiao who was beside him.
Ling Xiao understood and nodded.
Huo Qinghuang looked at the master and disciple flirting with an expressionless face, feeling speechless.
There are so many people here, is this guy going to offer himself to me?
Looking at the pretty boys in the field, Huo Lingchuan's face turned gloomy.
If Tushan Yuhua hadn't held him back, he would have punched Ling Xiao in the face.
Is it possible for anyone to desire Huo Lingchuan's sister?
With so many people competing at once, what would people think of the Huo family if this got out?
Both the brother and sister looked at Ling Xiao unkindly.
Huo Lingchuan even planned to beat this guy out if he dared to open his mouth.
It’s a long story.
However, just as Huo Lingchuan had this thought, he saw Ling Xiao turn around and stride towards the yard.
Um?
Why did he leave?
Huo Lingchuan held his breath in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, feeling very uncomfortable.
Huo Qinghuang was also slightly stunned, then he sent out his spiritual sense to look outside and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Ling Xiao was seen walking slowly into the hall holding an ancient bronze furnace in one hand.
The furnace is about five feet high and black all over. The surface is engraved with dense Bagua runes, exuding an ancient and sacred aura.
It is one of the treasures of Sanqing Palace, the Bagua Alchemy Furnace.
However, Huo Qinghuang's eyes fell on Ling Xiao's slender arms.
He had a slender figure and his arms were much thinner than those of ordinary people, forming a sharp contrast with the heavy bronze furnace, creating a huge sense of contrast.
It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
So, when Ling Xiao walked slowly into the hall holding the ancient bronze furnace in one hand, everyone present held their breath.
The Bagua alchemy furnace glowed with a green luster all over, and was densely engraved with ancient runes. It must have weighed at least a thousand pounds.
But in the hands of this seemingly fragile little Taoist priest, it was as steady as holding a light teapot.
"What did this kid eat to grow up?"
Huo Lingchuan widened his eyes and subconsciously touched his strong arms.
Huo Qinghuang's lips curled slightly.
She had just used her spiritual sense to investigate Ling Xiao. He was clearly just a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but his physical strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core Body cultivator.
What's even more strange is that the route of the spiritual energy circulation in his body is very different from the ordinary Taoist mental methods, and is vaguely similar to the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.
"Senior Huo."
Ling Xiao walked closer and respectfully placed the alchemy furnace on the ground.
The bronze furnace did not make any sound when it fell to the ground, as if it was light as a feather.
"This furnace is the treasure of Sanqing Palace, the Eight Diagrams Alchemy Furnace. I hope you will accept it."
Wu Yunzi stepped forward at the right time, stroked his long snow-white beard and said with a smile: "Friend Huo, although this Bagua furnace is not as good as the ancient artifact, it is better in that the furnace core is made of Kunlun cold jade, which is the best at harmonizing the violent energy of strange fire."
Huo Qinghuang flicked his fingertips and a ray of red sky fire leaped into the furnace.
The golden-red flames roamed happily in the furnace, but were no longer as difficult to control as before.
She nodded slightly: "It's really good. Your sect is very generous."
The tone was calm, but there was a hint of approval.
Wu Yunzi smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Huo saved the people and turned the tide. I am not strong enough and cannot fight alongside you. I am really ashamed."
He paused, and said in a more sincere tone: "This furnace is a small gift from my Sanqing Palace. Please accept it, fellow Taoist."
Huo Qinghuang did not agree immediately, but slowly stood up, walked to the stove, and reached out to gently stroke the stove.
In an instant, a faint wave of consciousness came from the furnace, as if responding to her call.
"Sure enough, only the strange fire can truly activate it."
She nodded with satisfaction.
With this furnace, combined with the Red Flame Sky Fire, the success rate of refining high-level elixirs will be increased by at least 30%!
She immediately decided to let Huo Lingfeng start refining the elixir tomorrow!
But she did not immediately accept this "letter of allegiance".
Instead, he turned back to the main seat and sat down, his eyes swept over everyone, his tone calm but unquestionable:
"The Huo family will remember your kindness. However, this is only the first time we meet. If we have any future cooperation, we will discuss it separately."
The implication is that no force will be easily accepted.
Not to mention marriage.
So these pretty boys go back to where they came from.
Although everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, they also understood that this was just a test.
The two parties have only made initial contact, and they still need to work hard to maintain this relationship.
Now that the Huo family has accepted their kindness, it is the best outcome.
But Wu Yunzi didn't think so.
He has given away all the treasures of the sect. If Ling Xiao can't keep them, wouldn't he be at a great loss?
Wu Yunzi pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, and suddenly he sighed: "What a pity..."
"What a pity?"
Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow.
Could it be that this old guy hasn't given up yet?
The next moment, Wu Yunzi sighed and said with a sad face, "It's a pity that the inheritance of my Sanqing Palace is incomplete. The highest mental method in the sect can only be cultivated to the golden elixir."
"Ling Xiao has a special physique and should have been a genius in cultivation. But now he has been delayed by us. It is really heartbreaking!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qinghuang looked at Ling Xiao again.
No wonder I felt that his spiritual power was flowing strangely. Now, after taking a closer look, I finally confirmed that this young man actually possessed the legendary Xuanhuang Battle Body!
It’s a pity that he practiced the incomplete version of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, which delayed his great talent.
