#608 - Jun Taihei

The Grand Elder dismissed the other elders and took Jun Wuxie to his residence in a separate courtyard.

The environment here was excellent, located on the mountainside, backed by mountains and facing water, with a waterfall nearby, making for pleasant scenery.

"Have a seat."

The Grand Elder pointed to the cyan jade stone table in the courtyard, then took out a jade bottle and poured some spiritual spring water into the teapot.

The spiritual spring water was emerald green, exuding a rich spiritual energy and vitality. Its clear and refreshing scent entered the nostrils, making one feel comfortable all over.

At this moment, the Grand Elder took out an ancient box, opened it, carefully took out a tea leaf, and threw it into the teapot, using his true energy to heat the water.

Jun Wuxie saw how much he treasured the tea leaves in the box and how stingy he was, actually only using one leaf?

However, his eyes were bright, indicating that this tea leaf was definitely a good thing. Otherwise, would a powerhouse at the peak of the Semi-Saint realm act like this?

Gradually, the teapot emitted wisps of green smoke, and the fragrance of tea permeated the air, refreshing the heart and lungs. Just smelling it made one's spirit invigorated, and the pores all over the body opened up, sweeping away all fatigue!

He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of tea is this?"

"This isn't just any tea, but leaves from the Spirit Condensation Tree, extremely rare and hard to find. In all these years of my Myriad World Academy, we've only had a few dozen treasured leaves, and the number we can obtain each era doesn't exceed ten!"

"So precious?"

"Of course!" The Grand Elder stroked his beard and said, "The Spirit Condensation Tree is a sacred tree. Its location is never fixed and appears in different places at different times, making it difficult to find. Obtaining its leaves is a matter of chance, something that cannot be sought after. The water brewed from these Spirit Condensation leaves has an extremely strong spirit-condensing effect, with amazing effects on cultivating the soul. A single leaf can allow a Saint Realm cultivator's soul realm to break through to the Middle Sky realm!"

"What?"

Jun Wuxie was shocked. This was indeed a peerless treasure, even more effective than the Saint Marrow Liquid!

Although the Saint Marrow Liquid can also allow a person's soul to break through to the Semi-Saint realm, it requires time to slowly cultivate. However, according to the Grand Elder, just drinking a pot of tea brewed with this Spirit Condensation leaf can break through the soul to the Semi-Saint realm. The time used must be many times shorter than that of the Saint Marrow Liquid!

"How is it, are you shocked?" The Grand Elder was very satisfied with his reaction and said, "My Myriad World Academy has existed for so long, so naturally, it possesses some peerless resources that ordinary people cannot imagine."

As he spoke, the Grand Elder poured two cups of hot tea, handed one to Jun Wuxie, and picked up one himself, enjoying a sip without fear of burning himself.

"That…" Jun Wuxie looked at his enjoying expression, his eyes eager, and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Could you give me a few dozen leaves?"

*Pfft!*

The Grand Elder spat out the tea he had in his mouth.

His lips trembled, and his beard also trembled. He asked in disbelief, "How many did you say?"

"Grand Elder, you didn't hear wrong. I said give me a few dozen…"

Jun Wuxie was a little lacking in confidence. After all, he had just heard the Grand Elder say that the Myriad World Academy seemed to have only a few dozen in total?

"Why don't you just go rob me?" The Grand Elder almost wanted to slap him, angrily saying, "Over the long years, my Myriad World Academy has only collected a few dozen leaves! You want a few dozen with a big mouth, do you think this is cabbage in the market?"

"Grand Elder, don't get excited. There's a reason why I want a few dozen leaves. Look at so many people around me, Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, four little slave girls, and in Great Zhou City, there are Mu Xuelan, Qin Keqing, Su Lan… Junior Brother, etc. One leaf per person, doesn't that add up to a considerable amount?"

"You little brat, you're too shameless, aren't you?" The Grand Elder was so angry that he blew his beard and glared his eyes. "What do those people around you have to do with this old man? If you want to give them benefits, just ask this old man directly? You want to empty out this old man's family fortune, right? This old man goes bankrupt to help you pick up girls, what are you thinking?"

"Grand Elder, calm down. You are a senior expert, you should maintain your composure at all times. How about twenty leaves?"

"This old man maintains what kind of composure? In front of you little brat, who can maintain their composure?" The Grand Elder glanced at him and said, "I think you little brat shouldn't be called Jun Wuxie anymore, change your name to Jun Taihei, um, that name suits you better."

"…" Jun Wuxie was very speechless and said, "Business is all about negotiation, a voluntary matter, why are you escalating it to personal attacks?"

"You're trying to get something for nothing, directly asking this old man, and opening your mouth wanting to bankrupt me, is that negotiating business?"

"Alright, then I'll take a step back, how about fifteen leaves?"

"You should go to sleep, you'll have everything when you wake up. How can your little brat's face be so thick?"

Jun Wuxie wasn't embarrassed at all: "If your skin isn't thick, can you survive in this world? Not only does your face have to be thick, but your heart also has to be black. Thick and black is the way to go."

"You've really mastered the art of Thick Black Theory?" The Grand Elder gave him a meaningful look and said, "This old man can give you five Spirit Condensation leaves, not a single one more!"

"Fifteen leaves, I'll trade with you!"

"What are you going to trade with this old man?"

"Saint Marrow Liquid!"

"What?" The Grand Elder was taken aback. "Are you sure it's not Spiritual Marrow Liquid, but Saint Marrow Liquid?"

"That's right, it's Saint Marrow Liquid!"

"You actually have such a thing?" The Grand Elder looked at him in shock and said, "How much are you going to use to trade with this old man?"

"One thousand drops, is that enough?"

The Grand Elder's lips trembled, and he looked at him for a long time without saying a word.

One thousand drops?

That's almost two pounds! He actually has so much?

"Okay, one thousand drops, I'll give you twenty Spirit Condensation leaves!" The Grand Elder was very excited and said, "Because of the extremely small number of these Spirit Condensation leaves, we can't use them to cultivate students on a large scale. If we have one thousand drops of Saint Marrow Liquid, such a resource is enough to allow one hundred people to raise their soul realm to the Middle Sky realm!"

Jun Wuxie was stunned. He didn't expect that the first thing the Grand Elder thought of was to cultivate students.

The Myriad World Academy really put all their thoughts into this. This is a selfless spirit.

However, within this selflessness, there is also differential treatment. For example, students with higher talents will receive special care.

On closer thought, this seems to be justifiable. After all, the higher the talent, the greater the role they can play in the future, so they will naturally focus on cultivating them.

"However, I have a request, I hope that these Saint Marrow Liquids can be used as much as possible on the human geniuses. As for the Sea Clan geniuses, even if you have to give it to them, only give it to those who don't antagonize the human race."

The Grand Elder nodded and said, "That's natural. Now our cultivation of students is centered around you as the number one core, and then your confidantes. We naturally won't focus on cultivating people who are hostile to you, otherwise, if they die in your hands in the future, the resources will be wasted, and there will be no meaning."

"Then it's settled. It's just that I don't have that much Saint Marrow Liquid on me, it's all given to Lingfei, in the Immortal Execution Sword Sect. Find a time, Grand Elder, and have someone go to my sect to retrieve it."

"Good!"

The Grand Elder was in a great mood, and then his face sank again, saying, "You little brat, you're causing trouble too recklessly, you even used the Doomsday Curse! Do you know what the consequences would be if it got out of control?"

"Cough, you saw through it?"

Jun Wuxie acted like an old god was present.

The Grand Elder changed his tone: "However, you were able to trick the Park family of Southern Silla into annihilation, that's also your ability. This old man is very curious, how did you manage to not be afraid of the Doomsday Curse and still be able to use it to trick people?"

"What do you mean by tricking people, Grand Elder, I think your wording is inappropriate. I call this wit, understand, wit!" Jun Wuxie corrected, then said seriously: "As for why I'm not afraid of the Doomsday Curse, that's naturally because good triumphs over evil. Look at me, full of righteousness, wherever I stand, it's like the sun shining there. What Doomsday Curse, in front of me, it has to tremble!"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder reached out to knock his head, but he dodged it with a smile.

This kid, there isn't a single true word in his mouth, full of tall tales.

He didn't continue to ask, everyone has their own secrets, and a genius like Jun Wuxie even more so, with many secrets on his body.

If he hadn't been secretly paying attention to Jun Wuxie when he was undergoing the Saint Realm tribulation, and later witnessed him using the Doomsday Curse of the Red-Haired Demon to trick and kill the Middle Sky Semi-Saints of the Four Supreme Dominators, he wouldn't have thought that Jun Wuxie was secretly doing something today.

After all, such a thing is too Arabian Nights.

A cultivator in the Saint Realm can actually ignore the Doomsday Curse, who would believe it if he said it?

It is precisely because of this that the Grand Elder firmly believes that as long as Jun Wuxie can survive the competition with the extraterrestrial geniuses, he can be invincible in the great world trend in the future, not afraid of the Doomsday Curse, and perhaps really be able to turn the tide!

"You little brat, deal with this thing, keeping it by this old man's side is like a thorn in my back."

He took out the bottle sealing the Doomsday Curse substance and placed it in front of Jun Wuxie.

"Isn't this a treasure bottle? Hasn't it been sealed?"

The Grand Elder's face twitched twice when he heard this, saying, "This old man was just fooling people, what treasure bottle, it's just an ordinary container, relying entirely on this old man's continuous use of true energy to seal and suppress it. Although it won't let it run out, this old man can't erase it either."

"So you're also an old fox, acting as if it were real."

Jun Wuxie put away the bottle, directly incorporating it into his blessed land, refining it together with the bottle, using his Natal Star to devour it, and the Millstone of Extinction to grind it.

"If it wasn't to cooperate with you, would this old man have done that? A lifetime of fame, ruined in your little brat's hands!" The Grand Elder snorted, and then said in a deep voice: "However, it's also a good thing to have destroyed the Park family today. In this life, we don't need those geniuses from ancient stars!"

"What happened?"

Jun Wuxie realized there was a problem here.

"Hmph, they colluded with the extraterritorial forces in advance. In previous epochs, they at least grew closer to the extraterritorial forces after the battle for the Heavenly Throne, but this time is different. We received news that before coming here, they sent their strongest prodigies to the Ancient Sanctification Hall. The ones who came here are not the strongest at all. Therefore, the prodigies from those six ancient stars are only here to enjoy the resources of our ancient academy and have no intention of contributing to our academy. In the future battle for the Heavenly Throne, can we expect them to deal with the people from the Ancient Sanctification Hall? It would be good enough if they don't betray us then!"

Jun Wu Xie's eyes turned cold, and he said, "These people are truly shameless! When we enter the Extraterritorial Ruins, I will kill them all! We cannot let them seize the resources. Only when our human prodigies obtain those resources can the strength of the younger generation of the Emperor Beginning Star Region be truly improved!"

The Grand Elder said, "It may not be so easy for you to kill them. The prodigies from those five ancient life stars are not as arrogant as the prodigies from the Piao family. They all possess semi-Saint-level battle armor and other items. Although their strength is not as good as yours, with such things, they are not so easy to kill. But you still have a chance. There is a special place in the Extraterritorial Ruins where most of the students who enter each session will determine victory or death. The ultimate winner will obtain some kind of secret technique inheritance, which is an extremely powerful secret technique. Someone once obtained the Great Sun Fire Calamity Technique inside, and its power is terrifying!"

"What? The Great Sun Fire Calamity Technique?"

Jun Wu Xie was shocked. He had experienced how terrifying the Great Sun Fire Calamity was in the Burial Corpse Ground. If it were presented as a secret technique, its power would definitely be astonishing.

That special place actually has the Great Sun Fire Calamity secret technique as a reward for inheritance, which really shocked him.

Presumably, besides the Great Sun Fire Calamity, there are other earth-shattering secret techniques!

"It's a pity that the human prodigy was blessed with luck, and his own strength was extremely strong. In those years when the human race was declining, he had been enduring until he entered the Extraterritorial Ruins and showed his brilliance, taking the lead and obtaining many opportunities, but in the end, he died under the Lesser Destiny Technique of the Azure Heaven Battle Body, falling sadly..."

The Grand Elder said with a solemn expression, "There is only one year left until the battle for the Heavenly Throne. In cultivation, one year passes quickly. At that time, you will encounter various powerful ancient god bloodlines in the universe. The Azure Heaven Battle Body's Lesser Destiny Technique is strange and unpredictable, in accordance with the destiny of the heavens, making it impossible to defend against, killing people invisibly. You must pay attention!"

"There is also the Desolate Overlord Body's Overlord Body Golden Body, known as unbreakable in the same realm, with all laws unable to invade. The Desolate Heaven Devouring Technique inherited from its bloodline is even more unique! As for the Myriad Stars Divine Body, it can communicate with the stars in the starry sky, absorb the power of the stars, and has amazing endurance. The more it fights, the braver it becomes, and it can achieve never-ending true energy and summon star gods to bombard opponents! These people are all your strong enemies!"

"I won't boast in front of you, but I can confidently say that no matter how strong they are, what bloodlines they have, or what amazing secret techniques they possess, I, Jun Wu Xie, am not weaker than anyone! In this life, in the battle for the Heavenly Throne with the extraterritorial forces, our Emperor Beginning Star Region will never repeat the mistakes of the past and continue the shame of previous sessions. We will definitely regain the glory of the Primordial Era!"

He was very confident, and this confidence infected the Grand Elder.

"This is Soul Concentrating Leaf. Take it and give it to them as soon as possible to improve their soul realm. You also seize the time to cultivate. In a few days, the Sleeping King Elder from the Ancient Sanctification Hall will come to set the specific date for the Heavenly Throne battle. Time is very tight."

Jun Wu Xie put away the Soul Concentrating Leaf, nodded to the Grand Elder, and bid farewell.

Returning to the Spirit Gathering Peak, the people here had not completely dispersed. Many prodigies were gathered at the entrance of the cave, discussing what had happened before in low voices.

Seeing him return, all eyes focused on him.

Jun Wu Xie ignored them and went to the cave dwellings of Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu respectively, gave them the Soul Concentrating Leaf, explained its effects in detail, and returned to his own cave dwelling.

He did not give the Soul Concentrating Leaf to Ji Yinlan.

Ji Yinlan is a Reincarnator, awakened the memories of her previous life, and her soul realm is very high, so she naturally doesn't need this kind of thing.

Returning to the cave dwelling, he exchanged a few words with Xu Yan Ning and the others, then asked them to go back to their respective cultivation, and he sealed the entrance and returned to the jade bed to cultivate.

Before the Extraterritorial Ruins open, he plans to raise his realm to the fourth transformation of the Saint Sect!
