Almost none of the more than 100,000 cultivators at the Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Field dared to believe what Lin Xuankong was saying at that moment.
Those are third-rank Third Grade Earth Immortal from several immortal sects, all prominent figures in the Central Divine Dynasty!
Leaving aside others,
Just the Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect,
That alone is enough to overwhelm all the cultivators present!
However,
Faced with so many requests from the Earth Immortals,
Mu Shiba was so adamant that he refused these Earth Immortals on the spot. How could they not be surprised and astonished!
The location of the disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect
The genius disciple Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and say, "This Mu Shiba is indeed strong, but he seems to have a poor grasp of the situation!"
His ability to conjure the body of Early Earth Immortal was truly astonishing. He used seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact to defeat four Demon King -level Earthwalker Dragon on the spot, which was indeed admirable! But he had only defeated low-level Demon King, while he was now facing a group of Third Grade Earth Immortal and a terrifying Late Fifth Grade Earth Immortal!
How dare he say such a thing? How dare he refuse?
Behind Xiao Yan, several disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect shook their heads repeatedly, clearly believing that Lin Xuankong's attempt to keep the secret at this time was extremely unwise!
A terrifyingly powerful expert at the Third Grade Earth Immortal level has countless ways to get someone to talk; how could he possibly keep a secret!
Feng Lingling suddenly chuckled, "Interesting, very interesting! This Mu Shiba is indeed extraordinary, unlike any other cultivator I've ever met!"
She glanced at her genius disciple Xiao Yan beside her, "Even you, Senior Brother Xiao, would probably kneel and bow respectfully to those Third Grade Earth Immortal on the spot. But this Mu Shiba dares to refuse a bunch of Earth Immortals in public. Hmm, that courage is really too interesting and too unique!"
Xiao Yan, a genius disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, shook his head vigorously. "Too much courage is just recklessness. A wise person knows when to yield!"
Feng Lingling chuckled and said, "What 'discretion is the better part of valor' is just an excuse to back down. In my opinion, this Mu Shiba, just with his courage alone, is enough to make the more than 100,000 cultivators present pale in comparison. Hmm, I'm becoming more and more interested in him!"
Xiao Yan was speechless.
Haha, it's like it's a good thing that you're interested in me!
At this time,
Among the clouds high in the sky,
Many of the Third Grade Earth Immortal were clearly somewhat surprised.
Especially those few Earth Immortals who had already taken out a large number of Grade-1 Profound Truth Jade Stone and many spiritual herbs and medicines!
Seeing Lin Xuankong's resolute expression, the brows of these Earth Immortals gradually furrowed.
In the eyes of these Third Grade Earth Immortal,
Given their status, position, and strength, even without taking out those high-grade Profound Truth Jade Stone and spiritual herbs, Mu Shiba should still be able to tell them everything he knows!
Now that they are treating scholars with such respect, how could Mu Shiba refuse in public?
Does a local immortal really have no dignity?
Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, revealed a cold expression on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly:
"Young Fellow Daoist Mu, you are free to choose whether or not to tell others your secret. However, we are not bullying you because we are older. We have genuinely offered generous gifts in exchange for information about you!"
Your firm refusal suggests you truly disregard our Western Nether Immortal Sect, Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, and other immortal sects?
Or perhaps you're planning to ask for even more Grade-Improving Profound Truth Jade Stone? Don't worry, as long as you can act as a go-between and tell us about that master craftsman, we can provide any amount of Grade-Improving Profound Truth Jade Stone we need. We can even discuss other conditions with you!
Several other Third Grade Earth Immortal from various immortal sects gradually regained their indifferent expressions, each looking at Lin Xuankong with rather icy eyes.
These Third Grade Earth Immortal from various immortal sects clearly regarded Lin Xuankong's behavior as an act of arrogance and self-importance!
Even the Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect and Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er frowned deeply at this moment, while Huang Liutao, Late-stage Second-grade Earth Immortal beside him, kept giving Lin Xuankong meaningful glances.
This Earth Immortal Huang Liutao had personally witnessed how the Jialin Bodhisattva of the Lingtai Buddhist Sect treated Mu Shiba with utmost respect. Naturally, he couldn't possibly regard Mu Shiba as merely a Layer Nine Perfection cultivator with considerable hidden strength and resources, unlike other Earth Immortals.
Unfortunately,
Lin Xuankong seemed to completely ignore the gaze of this Huang Liutao Earth Immortal.
He raised his head and looked at the Earth Immortals, then at Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect and Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, before calmly speaking:
"I appreciate the kindness of all the senior Earth Immortals, but unfortunately, I am truly unable to act as a Mu Shiba!"
"Okay, okay!"
You really have a strong personality!
However, with these abilities, you certainly have the right to be proud!
"But isn't it a bit much that you arrogantly disregard us old folks?" Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, said coldly.
Faced with the threat of this Third Grade Earth Immortal,
Lin Xuankong suddenly laughed.
He spoke calmly:
"It seems that you senior Earth Immortals have misunderstood."
The reason I cannot act as a matchmaker for you, and therefore cannot accept these gifts in exchange, is...
The reason is that these Early Stage Immortal Artifact were not forged by any super artifact-refining master!
These rather rudimentary Early Stage Immortal Artifact were actually all crafted by me, Mu Shiba, myself. Unfortunately, the crafting wasn't perfect or powerful enough, so these artifacts can only unleash the power of Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
"What? What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Haishan, a Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, tensed up, and the fluctuations of his immortal energy suddenly intensified. Clearly, at this moment, this powerful Earth Immortal, who had cultivated for thousands of years, was also experiencing a violent emotional upheaval and was unable to maintain a calm state of mind!
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect looked at Lin Xuankong with surprise.
"You mean you can forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact? And you possess a full seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact, so your success rate in forging immortal artifacts isn't low! Is what you're saying true?"
Another Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact is incredibly difficult, requiring countless times more effort and time than cultivating martial arts or immortal techniques!"
But I see that your cultivation is far more powerful and refined than that of ordinary cultivators. It's truly unbelievable! Is what you're saying true?"
Lin Xuankong's expression remained neither humble nor arrogant as he nodded and said, "How could I, Mu Shiba, possibly joke about such a thing in front of over 100,000 cultivators? This matter is indeed true, absolutely true. As long as I have enough complete materials at hand, forging a Early Stage Immortal Artifact is not difficult at all. What's difficult is forging higher-grade, third-grade, fourth-grade, or even higher-grade immortal weapons!"
As soon as Lin Xuankong said this, the entire Martial Arts Field of the Crane Immortal Sect fell silent once again!
