He Guinian sighed, "Yue Que is a good name. Now that the bowstring has been changed to a suitable one, the bow's power has greatly increased. All that's missing is a spirit, then it will be perfect!"
"A spirit of the artifact!"
Lan Hua smiled slightly, not in a hurry about the matter of the artifact spirit, she would let things take their course.
Because he has a pot of red rose petals, if all else fails, he can borrow it to tide him over.
However, Lan Hua has not yet discussed this with Hong Mei, and is worried that Hong Mei will think that this move is too low-class and unbecoming of her status.
Only at crucial moments could Hongmei set aside her prejudices and follow his arrangements.
He Guinian said, "Tomorrow's battle will surely alarm the entire Xuanhuang Continent. I'm afraid most of the cultivators on the Xuanhuang Continent will rush over to watch the battle!"
Are you mentally prepared?
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's just a fight. Let them watch if they want. It won't kill them to take another look!"
He wasn't worried about any conspiracies or backup plans from the Immortal Sword Sect; rather, he was worried about the Owl Sect's backup plans.
After all, Qiu Yuanliang's amused smile made Lan Hua a little uneasy.
He had a hunch that Qiu Yuanliang would definitely show up for tomorrow's battle.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I'll take my leave now!"
After leaving Jinwei Mountain, Lan Hua went straight to Immortal Mountain and began to meditate in a deserted mountain valley, where he needed to ensure that he was in the best possible condition.
As the master of the Immortal Sword Sect, Duan Yu's cultivation level is definitely among the top three of the Danxia Realm experts.
His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Danxia Realm, and it was said that he had one foot in the Dan Shen Realm, while Lan Hua himself was only at the eighth level of the Danxia Realm.
Lan Hua swallowed the remaining Nine Absolute Golden Pills and absorbed all the spiritual energy of the spirit, turning it into dust.
His current cultivation level is very high, and the effect of the Nine Absolute Golden Pill is already very weak, but it's better than nothing.
Having finally found some time for quiet contemplation, Lan Hua pondered how to improve her archery skills.
"I currently practice quite a few techniques, including the Invisible Arrow Technique, Talisman Technique, and the Pill Heaven Technique!"
"Hmm? The Pill Heaven Technique?"
"This technique is an orthodox method of the Pill God Palace, passed down from the eternal Emperor Pill Heaven. How could its power be weak?"
"I've only used it for alchemy and arrow forging, and haven't really put it to good use yet. What a waste!"
When Lan Hua was upgrading her battle bow at the Myriad Weapons Sect, He Guinian once said that the Pill God Palace's Pill Heaven Technique was unparalleled in the world, a true flame technique that used the internal pill fire.
Other so-called fire techniques in the world are merely converting primordial energy into flames, and are nowhere near as powerful as the Dan Fire.
He Guinian had a very high opinion of his Crimson Lotus Flame. This flame was not only powerful, but it could also burn Yuan Power and Inner Breath, making it extremely domineering.
Lan Hua activated the Dan Tian Technique, and the domineering red lotus fire condensed in her palm, pulsating slightly.
"Why not infuse the Invisible Arrow Technique with Crimson Lotus Flame, giving it a fire attribute? Perhaps it will have unexpected effects!"
After speaking, Lan Hua summoned the Yueque Bow, bent the bow and formed an arrow, the invisible arrow of light was covered by red flames.
Looking at the Crimson Lotus Arrow, Lan Hua was very satisfied.
When Lan Hua first saw Huo Xiaoxiao shoot out ice arrows, she thought the method was ingenious, but her ice arrows were ultimately formed from ice-attribute elemental power.
However, Lan Hua's Crimson Lotus Arrow is different; its attributes come directly from the Dan Fire.
"Yes, the Yin-Yang Twin Fires can also do this; the one hit by the arrow will have their Yuan Power weakened!"
Lan Hua remained in meditation until early the next morning, when she was in excellent condition, before heading towards the Path of No Rest.
When he embarked on the Road of No Return, it was nearly midday. Along the Road of No Return, cultivators were constantly hurrying on their way, afraid of being too late and missing the great battle of the century.
Those were all cultivators below the Yuan Dan realm, who couldn't yet fly using objects.
Lan Hua chuckled to herself, "There are quite a lot of people today!"
"Fellow Daoist, why are you walking so slowly? At this rate, even if you reach the summit, the duel will be over long ago!"
Lan Hua smiled slightly, "I bet the duel won't start so soon!"
whoosh...
Several figures streaked across the sky at incredible speed, like shooting stars.
Those were experts above the Yuan Dan realm.
Lan Hua shook her head, continuing to climb the mountain at a leisurely pace. "These people are really impatient!"
When Lan Hua stepped onto the last step of the Road of No Rest, the sun was high in the sky, at noon.
Lan Hua looked at the sky, "The timing is perfect!"
The large platform was surrounded by people, all of whom were cultivators below the Yuan Dan realm.
Some people didn't have time, so they stood on the four hilltops in the distance, at least they could still see something.
As for the sky, it was filled with powerful individuals above the Yuan Dan realm, and under the sunlight, the platform was filled with dark shadows.
In the very center of the large platform, a man sat cross-legged; he was Duan Yu, one of the main protagonists of this battle.
Beside him stood a long, flat wooden box.
Duan Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light flashing within them, "Lan Hua, I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Lan Hua smiled slightly, took a step forward, and her aura surged. The flowers and plants around her moved without any wind.
"So he is Lan Hua. No wonder he wasn't in a hurry at all on the road!" the group exclaimed in realization.
Lan Hua toured the large platform and spotted Zhou Yu, the third prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the crowd. The royal family was still as dazzling as ever.
His younger sister, Zhou Yan'er, was also there, with a demonic beast lying beside her—the Crimson-Eyed Demon Boar.
Two years had passed, and the Crimson-Eyed Demon Pig had grown to almost the length of a person, frightening those around it into not daring to approach.
Zhou Yu nodded to Lan Hua, while Zhou Yan'er exclaimed, "Brother Lan!"
Lan Hua did not respond. Today was a special day, and he did not want to implicate his old friend.
Suddenly, Lan Hua spotted Kong Xuan and Shen Yuyan in the crowd.
Kong Xuan looked worried, his eyes filled with concern. Beside him was Jiang Xinghai, who was holding the beautiful woman's hand tightly.
Shen Yuyan broke through to the Yuan Dan realm. She was a loner and always lived a carefree life, so she had no worries at all.
"Miss Huo!"
Lan Hua was taken aback. She saw Huo Xiaoxiao in mid-air. The latter remained indifferent, but her worried expression was impossible to hide.
With a slight smile, Lan Hua gave everyone a reassuring look.
All the members of the seven major sects and the Pill God Palace arrived, including the Immortal Talisman Sect, and their powerful figures were suspended in mid-air.
Lan Hua looked towards the direction of the Pill God Palace. Palace Master Wei Wuji nodded slightly. Although the latter had expelled Lan Hua, it was a helpless move.
"Sect Leader Duan, in today's duel, will it be you alone, or the entire Immortal Sword Sect together?" Lan Hua challenged.
"This is a duel between the two of us, and has nothing to do with the Immortal Sword Sect!"
Lan Hua snorted, "Very well, have you given your last words?"
Duan Yu's face turned cold. "You're the one who gave your last words!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Everyone, tell me, who will win this duel?"
"I bet on Lan Hua to win, one thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
"I'm also betting on Lan Hua to win, two thousand mid-grade spirit stones. I heard he even killed the eighth-ranked expert on the Blood Ranking, and that was while the expert was seriously injured!"
"Sect Leader Duan is at least one of the top three Danxia Realm experts in the Xuanhuang Continent, we must bet on him!"
"I'm also betting on Duan Yu. He's already one foot in the Dan Shen realm. What's there to be afraid of with this brat?"
"......"
Duan Yu's face turned cold with anger. The spectators had actually placed bets, treating this duel as a performance.
Lan Hua remained completely calm and smiled, "Everyone, place your bets now, or it'll be too late!"
After saying that, he threw out a stack of spirit stone vouchers, which flew towards the person who started the game.
"I'm betting 10,000 high-grade spirit stones on myself to win!"
Everyone: "......"
