"Junior Brother Lu, for Sword Sect disciples, one Shadow Stone is already enough. How about selling the other one to me, Senior Brother? I guarantee the price won't disappoint you."
"Junior Brother Lu, please consider me."
"Junior Brother Lu..."
Several people gazed at Lu Xuan with traces of longing in their eyes.
Among the Sword Spirits in Heart Sword Lake, the Shadow Stone was the most difficult to capture due to its special ability. At the same time, it could improve a cultivator's combat experience and attainments in the Sword Dao, making it somewhat more valuable than the other Sword Spirits and treasures.
"Several Senior and Junior Brothers, don't be anxious. I haven't yet decided what to do with these two Shadow Stones."
"But I can guarantee that if I sell them, I'll give priority to the disciples of Still True Sword Peak."
Lu Xuan hurriedly explained.
Only then did everyone let the matter rest.
A moment later, all the Sword Sect disciples had arrived. After a Nascent Soul True Lord activated the teleportation array, they returned to their original locations.
The Fellow Disciples from Still True Sword Peak each left Lu Xuan a Communication Talisman. After repeatedly reminding him to save the Shadow Stones for them, they finally left reluctantly.
Lu Xuan flew to the entrance of his cave abode.
The moment he opened the Protective Array, a streak of white light shot out like lightning.
Xiao Bai Ape clung tightly to Lu Xuan's leg. Its crystal-jade-like features bounced up and down nonstop, utterly lacking the bearing a Fifth Grade Demonic Beast should have.
"Master! You're back!"
"Ever since you left the cave abode, I've been thinking of you every moment. I've finally waited for you to return safely, Master!"
Xiao Bai Ape cried out with grief and indignation.
