Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 119: This Great-Great-Grandson Is Quite Good
"Yes, yes, Elder. After years of untold hardship, I’ve collected many top-grade treasures. Let me first help you recover your cultivation—it’s just a shame we failed to seize the Creation Ice Blood Lotus."
Wan Xuegui had fallen for it. He fawningly produced his Qiankun Ring, his heart pounding with excitement.
’Even though I didn’t get the Creation Ice Blood Lotus, meeting my ancestor is the greatest prize of all.’
Seeing that Wan Xuegui was thoroughly ’convinced,’ Ye Tianling was quite pleased.
"That Creation Ice Blood Lotus isn’t easy to refine. It takes a very long time. The Black Water Profound Snake has already gone berserk, and it won’t be easy for Fang Qingxue to deal with it. So, we still have a chance."
Ye Tianling said confidently.
Wan Xuegui thought they had no chance at all, but since the Elder said they did, he immediately chose to believe him blindly. "That’s great news! Once we seize the Creation Ice Blood Lotus, I’ll capture that Feng Qingxue and let you, Elder, perform Absorption on her for Yin Yang Harmony. I will stand as your guardian, Elder, and ensure nothing can interfere with your grand undertaking."
Wan Xuegui was incredibly deferential, stopping just short of kowtowing with every word.
He remained kneeling with immense devotion, a fanatical gleam in his eyes.
As he spoke, Wan Xuegui produced three Celestial Tier Top Grade Creation Pills.
A Creation Pill of this caliber would be hugely beneficial even to a Cultivator in the Sword Tribulation Realm. If Wan Xuegui were to take them himself, the three Elixirs could easily advance his cultivation by one or even two realms.
Yet now, he brought them out without a second thought. He cupped them in both hands as if presenting a priceless treasure, raised them over his head, and shuffled forward on his knees to Ye Tianling, offering him the Elixirs.
"Elder, you have been reborn, but your strength has yet to recover. You are only at the First Heaven of Sword Soul. These three Elixirs can allow you to advance three major realms without any flaws, letting you step into the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm."
Wan Xuegui’s voice grew even more reverent and fanatical.
Ye Tianling was overjoyed.
’Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pills!’
’An Elixir that even someone in the Sword Tribulation Realm might not have, and I got them just like that.’
’And three at once!’
"You’re a good one, my Xuan Grandson. Very good indeed."
Ye Tianling said in praise.
"It is my honor to serve you, Elder."
Wan Xuegui felt a sweetness in his heart as if he’d eaten honey. A single word of praise from Ye Tianling sent him floating on cloud nine.
Ye Tianling activated his Soul Talent, carefully Sensing Wan Xuegui’s state of mind. The man’s emotions were fluctuating intensely, but because he was at the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm, Ye Tianling’s perception was somewhat fuzzy.
Still, he could glean the general gist. This gave him even more confidence in his ability to ’handle’ Wan Xuegui.
"Hmph. You’re being too optimistic. I am an Elder, after all. I once stepped into the Supreme Sword Ancestor Realm and have now been reborn. While these three Elixirs are... adequate, they can only raise my Realm by a tiny fraction. Three Realms? I doubt they’ll even raise me by two."
Ye Tianling said nonchalantly.
Wan Xuegui’s eyes widened in disbelief.
’These are top-grade Creation Pills! A single one is worth a whole ’Tribulation’! Even for someone in the Sword Tribulation Realm, it would be enough for a breakthrough of half a realm.’ 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
’How could the Elder say that? Is he underestimating the medicinal power of a Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pill?’
Although he was completely respectful and trusting of the Elder, Wan Xuegui couldn’t help but feel aggrieved that the Elder would ’belittle’ the power of the Creation Pill.
’After all, to him, these were peerless treasures!’
’He had risked life and limb to steal these Creation Pills. The Wanlun Ancient Land, from which they were stolen, had nearly posted a bounty with the assassins of Blood Killing Heaven to hunt him to the ends of the earth!’
"My Xuan Grandson, don’t look so unconvinced. I, your Elder, will take them right now and we’ll see if these Elixirs are as Top Grade as you think."
Ye Tianling sensed Wan Xuegui’s reservations and couldn’t help but chuckle slyly.
Wan Xuegui immediately tensed, holding his breath. He cast a cautious, wary glance toward the Blood-Colored Ice Lake.
"What is there to fear? If that Fang Qingxue dares show her face, I, your Elder, will teach her a lesson she’ll never forget. She won’t just lose her innocence, she’ll lose her very Soul."
Ye Tianling’s tone was suffused with dominance; he clearly held ’Fang Qingxue’ in utter contempt.
’Wan Xuegui felt his heart settle. The Sword Ancestor was truly the Sword Ancestor! His every word and deed was so domineering, so majestic, so impossibly arrogant.’
’Wan Xuegui was filled with envy. ’When will I ever have the right to be so commanding, so wild and unrestrained?’’
Ye Tianling extended a hand, and the three Elixirs flew directly into his grasp.
Then, showing them no particular care, as if tossing back a handful of beans, he inhaled sharply and sucked all three Elixirs into his mouth.
"Urk—Elder, one at a time! That’s a violent amount of power! You’ll explode!"
Wan Xuegui jumped in shock, a cold chill running down his spine. ’This ancestor... he’s just too damn wild!’
TSSS—
Within Ye Tianling’s body, his Dragon Soul Divine Blood began to converge.
The moment the potency of the Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pills entered his body, the Samadhi True Fire flared up and enveloped it. Ye Tianling then felt a powerful surge of Energy begin to spread through his Dantian.
But that was it.
The Energy then flowed into the major acupoints throughout his body. Ye Tianling’s Realm advanced as a matter of course, from the First Heaven of Sword Soul to the Sword Soul Second Heaven Realm.
The moment he stepped into this new Realm, the Dragon Blood within the nine activated layers of his Celestial Ladder Treasure Tower began to circulate through his body, creating a settled foundation.
A stream of pure Origin Energy continued to flow, but unfortunately, it was already starting to weaken.
In just over ten breaths, Ye Tianling had completely refined the Celestial Tier Top Grade Creation Pills.
And then... nothing.
*HUUUU...*
Ye Tianling exhaled a breath of turbid air, a cloud of white mist rising from the top of his head.
A moment later, the mist vanished. Ye Tianling let out a small burp, expelling another faint wisp of turbid air, and a healthy flush finally returned to his face.
Getting to his feet, Ye Tianling looked at the utterly dumbfounded Wan Xuegui. "It barely raised my cultivation by half a major Realm. What kind of junk Elixirs are these? Utterly useless. Do you have anything better? If I don’t reach the Sword Spirit Realm, I won’t feel safe. It feels like every old fossil in the world is out to get me."
Ye Tianling looked at Wan Xuegui, his eyes glinting with fervent expectation.
Wan Xuegui’s rather handsome face flushed red. He lowered his head in shame. "Elder... those... those were the best Elixirs I had. The rest—things like Dragon Bone Pills, Tiger Bone Pills, and Peiyuan Pills—they probably won’t have any effect on you."
Hearing this, Ye Tianling said, "Bring them out anyway, even if they’re useless. I’ve been reborn, and now I’m dirt poor. When we get to a major city or a Grand Mansion, I can trade them for some Earth Crystal Stones or Celestial Crystal Stones to buy more resources."
’Wan Xuegui didn’t suspect a thing. Instead, he was overcome with shame. ’I’m so useless. The Elder has fallen on such hard times, and all this time, he was secretly watching over and protecting me.’’
’If it weren’t for this business with Fang Qingxue, the Elder would never have even shown himself.’
’The Elder is so great, yet so pitiable.’
’Wan Xuegui was wracked with guilt. ’As a descendant of the Fang Family’s direct lineage, I’m almost twenty-three, but I’m still only at the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm. I’m such a failure. I’ve let the Elder down.’’
With these thoughts in mind, Wan Xuegui took out one hundred thousand Profound Crystal Stones and nearly ten thousand Dragon Bone Pills, Tiger Bone Pills, and Peiyuan Pills from his Qiankun Ring and willingly handed them all over.
