Hearing the sound of him leaving, Gao Han opened the small door, performed a magic gesture, and cleared the dust in the air.

The hut instantly became clean again, without a speck of dust.

Gao Han took out the remaining materials, including branches of the sun tree, elderberry, the bones and claws of a monster in the fusion stage, a crystal core of a demon, various mineral crystals and so on.

The crystal core is purple in color, just like a monster, and is equivalent to the cultivation level of the fusion stage.

Only a big sect like the Zixiao Sect can produce a demon beast in the fusion stage.

If we let them hunt on their own, there's no telling how long it would take to get these things.

Gao Han originally thought that since he couldn't get these things, he would use other things instead. Half of the top-grade spirit stones he left were prepared to buy materials.

The plan changed because of the Sun Tree, and he saw these things on the list given by Yuan Ran.

These three items alone cost 10 million top-grade spirit stones, one-tenth of the total, not to mention the other things.

For example, element crystals, creation stones, and eternal blue, many of them are out of stock. If they were put on the market, their prices would surely increase several times.

Gao Han was able to exchange these things at normal market prices, which was already a bargain.

He drove Zhongli Tingzhou away in order to refine a magic weapon suitable for him and give him a surprise.

Zhongli Tingzhou is already in the Nascent Soul stage. If he continues to wait, who knows how long it will take. It is best to sacrifice and refine the natal magic weapon from the very beginning, as the degree of compatibility between it and the owner will be higher.

After taking out all the necessary materials, Gao Han meditated quietly for a day and a night, quickly restoring his body and mind to their peak state.

The next day, dim light penetrated through the window.

A ball of flame burst out from Gao Han's fingertips, and the temperature of the air rose rapidly.

The flames quickly grew dozens of times larger, and the temperature was so hot that even the rain at the door was "forced back".

He waited a moment before throwing in the elderberry next to it.

After the elderberry was refined into a ball of black charcoal, he threw in the other materials.

One after another, time flew by like running water, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

…

In the Jishang Sect, a cultivator named Lan was preparing to leave the main peak with two people. Behind them was an old man with an immortal look and the Jishang Sect's leader with a serious expression.

"Junior brother, I'll leave this matter to you." The old man instructed slowly.

The monk surnamed Lan turned around and faced the old man, saying righteously, "Brother, rest assured. I will never let you or the sect down."

"I feel relieved when you say that." The old man nodded, "But Zixiao Sect is not our territory after all, so be careful in everything."

"Junior brother, I understand. I will take my leave now." The monk named Lan bowed and left with the two of them.

Three flying swords cut through the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"Elder Jiang, do you think Elder Lan can succeed?" The serious-looking leader of the Ji Shang Sect asked the old man worriedly.

"This is a difficult matter." The old man sighed.

The Supreme Sect's leader was a little anxious when he heard this, "Even Elder Lan himself can't do anything?"

The old man said in a deep voice: "You have to know that what we want is the last blade of the Eight Divine Swords. If the positions were reversed, would you return it to the Purple Sky Sect?"

The face of the leader of Jishang Sect was uncertain. Not only would he not return it to Zixiao Sect, he would not admit that he got the last of the Eight Divine Swords.

Thinking of this, his heart sank instantly.

"That is to say, Elder Lan might return in failure this time, and Zixiao Sect will never admit that the Eight Divine Swords they obtained are complete?"

"That depends on whether the conditions we offer can impress the Zixiao Sect." The old man said with a sigh.

"How dare they not return it!" The Supreme Sect's leader said angrily, "Everyone in Lingtian Continent knows that the Eight Divine Swords were created by the Eight Divine Elders of our Supreme Sect!"

"But everyone knows that the Supreme Sect's Hidden Power Pavilion was once robbed." The old man frowned and said, "Now we can only put our hopes on Lan Yu. If even he can't help..."

"Do we need to ask the Grand Elder for help?" The leader of Jishang Sect asked hurriedly.

"The Grand Elder will not come out easily unless the sect encounters a disaster. It is not a good idea to trouble the Grand Elder with this matter." The old man shook his head gently.

The leader of the Ji Shang Sect does not think so. The Eight Divine Swords are the Ji Shang Sect's secret sword techniques, which are specially used to deal with demons and can destroy the demon's spirit. This is one of the reasons why demons fear the Ji Shang Sect.

Before the death of the Eight Gods Elder, he was able to roam the Lingtian Continent with the help of the Seventh Sword, and even the demons and monsters were terrified of him.

This is still an incomplete set of the Eight Divine Swords. If it were complete, how powerful would it be?

If they train a group of monks who specialize in practicing the Eight Divine Swords and send them into the battlefield against demons, wouldn't they be able to create an invincible team?

The leader of Jishang Sect was so excited by his own imagination that he wanted Zixiao Sect to return the last blow of the Eight Divine Swords even more.

"Elder Jiang, the complete Eight Divine Swords can restore the prestige of Jishang Sect. The eighth sword must be returned to Zixiao Sect. I believe that the Grand Elder will not give up this opportunity to restore the prestige of Jishang Sect."

The leader of Jishang Sect had a firm gaze.

"The Supreme Sect is below the Purple Sky Sect. This is something that all cultivators in the Spiritual Heaven Continent have already tacitly accepted. Do you know what the Supreme Sect is in the eyes of others? It is the eternal runner-up."

“I also want to restore the reputation of the Supreme Sect.” The old man sighed.

"The Eight Divine Swords are an unprecedented opportunity. No matter what, we must get the Eighth Sword back!" The Supreme Sect's leader's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness, "even if it means using any means."

The old man was worried when he heard this. "I heard from Elder Shi that the disciple is a top-level genius. If we attack him, I'm afraid the Zixiao Sect will not let it go."

“So what? Ji Shang Sect and Zi Xiao Sect have always been at odds with each other. What’s more, if Zi Xiao Sect has one more top prodigy, when he grows up, he will pull Ji Shang Sect further away. If we can strangle him in the cradle, it will be more beneficial to the development of Ji Shang Sect.” Ji Shang Sect’s leader said viciously.

"If you want to achieve great things, you always have to make sacrifices. Elder Jiang, don't worry too much."

"I hope so." The old man said, and then asked, "Sect Master, have you investigated this person's identity? To be able to accept a top genius as his disciple, his master must have an extraordinary status in Zixiao Sect, right?"

The leader of Jishang Sect sneered and said, "I have sent people to investigate. This person has not been in Zixiao Sect for long. Two or three months ago, Zixiao Sect held a competition to recruit new members..."

The old man's expression changed slightly. "I heard that Master Zixiao chose a disciple in the new student recruitment competition. Could it be him?"

“Elder Jiang, you’re joking. Master Zixiao is a sword cultivator, and this boy is a knife cultivator. It’s impossible for Master Zixiao to accept him as his disciple.” This is one of the reasons why the leader of the Jishang Sect has something to rely on.

The old man's eyes lit up. "As I recall, Zixiao Sect doesn't have any particularly powerful sword cultivators. The most active one right now is Qi Yu from Bihai Peak. But it seems that the Tenth Elder of Zixiao Sect also has swordsmen."

"Yes, but it's not them. It is said that the one who accepted him as a disciple is just an ordinary elder of the main peak, because his cultivation level was not particularly outstanding in the competition that day."

"Is it absolutely true?" the old man asked excitedly.

“According to the information I received, none of the ten elders of Zixiao Sect came out of seclusion before and after the recruitment competition ended. The possibility is very low.” The eyes of the leader of Jishang Sect gleamed with excitement.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, as long as it's not them, it's fine. But the other party is a top-level genius. With this level of status, it will be difficult to deal with if something goes wrong."

The leader of Jishang Sect narrowed his eyes with a fierce light, "There are many ways to kill a person silently. The only problem is how to lead the person out of Zixiao Sect."

"What if he has been hiding in Zixiao Sect? Bai Dongtian will not let him leave the sect at will now."

"There will always be opportunities. A top genius will not be willing to stay in a sect forever." The leader of the Jishang Sect said confidently.

"Why don't you investigate further and be more careful. After all, our opponent is the Zixiao Sect." The Jishang Sect has suffered many setbacks at the hands of the Zixiao Sect, so the old man's worry is not unreasonable.

"Don't worry, Elder Jiang. I know what I'm doing." The leader of the Ji Shang Sect nodded.

…

Lan Yu, along with two disciples, crossed mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the foot of Zixiao Sect.

The long foot of the mountain stretches upward for several miles, with dense forests on both sides. It is unknown where it extends to. The sky is vast and blue, and golden sunlight shines from above.

"Let's go up." Lan Yu put away his magic weapon.

"Elder Lan, are we going up like this?" asked a disciple who came with him with a frown.

"Now that you've arrived in front of someone else's sect, do you still want to fly up with great fanfare?"

What's more, they are here to negotiate with the other party. The Eight Divine Swords are in the hands of Zixiao Sect. If they offend Zixiao Sect right from the start, he can imagine the outcome of this negotiation.

For the future of Ji Shang Sect, Elder Jiang and the Sect Master gave Lan Yu many instructions before he left, and Lan Yu did not dare to take the matter lightly.

“But the Eight Divine Swords originally belonged to our Supreme Sect.” The disciple said dissatisfiedly.

"So you are still young. Now the initiative is in the hands of Zixiao Sect, not in our hands. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go up and remember to be polite." Lan Yu said and walked forward.

"Elder Lan, you are so generous. That book on the Eight Divine Swordsmanship should obviously be yours." The disciple muttered.

Lan Yu remained calm and said nothing more.

Another blue-robed disciple touched him and said, "Stop talking."

…

Yuan Ran walked into the hall and saw Sect Leader Bai, who was sitting in the Sect Leader's seat and acting pretentiously. He coughed lightly.

"Master, Elder Lan Yu from the Supreme Sect has arrived with two disciples."

"They are finally here, bring them over." Sect Leader Bai said seriously.

"Yes, Master." Yuan Ran turned and walked out.

A moment later, several figures appeared at the main entrance of the hall again. Yuan Ran was in front, and behind him were Lan Yu and the other two.

"Lan Yu greets Sect Leader Bai." Lan Yu strode forward and bowed politely. The two disciples behind him also bowed in greeting.

"It turns out to be Elder Lan." Sect Leader Bai nodded, deliberately not asking about the purpose of their coming here.

Lan Yu thought he would ask why he came, but after waiting for a while he didn't hear him ask, and he couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression.

Although Sect Leader Bai didn't mention it, he had to say it.

"Master Bai, I came here this time because I want to discuss the matter of the Eight Divine Swords with your sect. Please forgive me."

Sect Leader Bai snorted and said, "It's the Eight Divine Swords again. I remember that Elder Sun should have explained it clearly to your Elder Shi outside the Twin Caves Secret Realm that day."
