True Lord Daoxuan's Formidable Traits—Dharma Treasure: Blood Jade Bodhi Pendant

When Shui Yue saw Tongtian Peak, she could not help reminding Su Han, "In a moment, Sect Leader Senior Brother will take you to the sect treasury, where you may choose a protective dharma treasure for yourself."

"However, although the protective dharma treasures in the sect treasury are all powerful..."

"Remember to choose one that is compatible with you. Only then can you bring out its full power, understand?"

Su Han nodded at her words.

Looking toward distant Tongtian Peak, his eyes were full of anticipation. "I understand, Master."

Sword light flashed like lightning as the two swiftly approached Tongtian Peak.

Before long, Shui Yue brought Su Han down onto a plaza on Tongtian Peak.

The moment they landed, a disciple came forward to greet them.

The disciple respectfully saluted Shui Yue. "Martial Aunt Shui Yue, Master has been waiting in the hall for some time."

Shui Yue nodded slightly and looked at Su Han. "Xiao Han, come with me."

Su Han closely followed behind Shui Yue, both nervous and excited.

What protective dharma treasures are in the sect treasury?

Not long after, the two arrived before a grand hall.

Shui Yue stopped and said to Su Han, "Go in yourself. Your master will wait outside."

Su Han took a deep breath, nodded, and stepped into the hall.

Inside the hall.

At the upper end sat a Daoist clad in a green robe embroidered with cloud patterns.

His face was lean, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss, as though they could see through all things in the world.

His brows were long and slightly raised, carrying an air of authority.

His black hair was neatly bound atop his head and secured with an ancient jade hairpin.

He sat as straight as a pine. Even seated there so simply, he possessed a mountain-like steadiness that inspired instinctive awe.

This man was Daoxuan, the Qingyun Sect Leader and one of the few Taiqing Realm experts to emerge in the past thousand years!

Looking at Daoxuan, Su Han silently said to the system, System, inspect Daoxuan's traits.

Name: Daoxuan

Identity: Qingyun Sect Leader

Traits: Heavenly Prodigy (Gold Word Trait), Innate Dao Bone (Gold Word Trait), Power of Seven Stars (Gold Word Trait), Exceptional Comprehension (Gold Word Trait), Sword Dao Genius (Red Trait), Natural Leader (Red Trait)...

"Gasp!"

"Four Gold Word Traits and five Red Traits!"

"As expected of the Qingyun Sect Leader, the Qingyun Sect's only Taiqing Realm expert... He truly was terrifying!"

While Su Han was shocked by how formidable Daoxuan's traits were.

Daoxuan, the Qingyun Sect Leader, was also examining Su Han.

Daoxuan's gaze slowly swept across Su Han as he released a trace of Spiritual Sense, quietly probing Su Han's cultivation.

When he clearly sensed Su Han's genuine Yuqing Realm second-layer cultivation, Daoxuan's heart jolted.

The surprise in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"This child is already at the second layer of the Yuqing Realm, not the first layer Sister Shui Yue mentioned?!"

"He has only been in the sect for a mere ten-odd days..."

"At such an age, with such cultivation, this is truly astonishing!"

Daoxuan muttered softly, his heart filled with shock.

He recalled that at Su Han's age, his cultivation had been far inferior to Su Han's.

It was as though he could see the hope of the Qingyun Sect's future, and his expectations for Su Han grew even stronger.

At this moment.

Su Han had already come back to his senses.

He stepped forward a few paces and respectfully saluted. "Disciple Su Han greets Sect Leader Martial Uncle."

True Lord Daoxuan nodded slightly and revealed a kind smile. "Rise."

"I have already heard of your performance at Little Bamboo Peak."

"Your talent truly is astounding."

Su Han humbly said, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle overpraises me. This disciple was merely fortunate."

True Lord Daoxuan waved his hand. "Luck is also part of one's strength."

"Enough small talk. Come with me to the sect treasury."

With that, True Lord Daoxuan rose and led Su Han toward the treasury.

The sect treasury was located deep within Tongtian Peak, surrounded by layers upon layers of restrictions.

True Lord Daoxuan opened the treasury doors, and an ancient, mysterious aura rushed toward them.

Su Han looked around and saw four tall wooden racks within the treasury, each filled with all sorts of dharma treasures. Their lights flickered brilliantly, dazzling the eye.

True Lord Daoxuan looked at Su Han and said, "The dharma treasures here were left behind by generations of Qingyun Sect predecessors. Each has its own unique qualities."

"You may take your time choosing until you find a dharma treasure compatible with you."

Su Han nodded. "Thank you, Sect Leader Martial Uncle."

With that, he slowly stepped forward and came before the display cases.

One by one, he began carefully examining the dharma treasures.

The first thing Su Han saw was a longsword. Its blade was crystal-clear throughout and emitted a sharp, chilling aura.

"Frosty Dream Sword, forged from Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron..."

Reading the brief introduction to the sword written on the bamboo tag in the case, Su Han curiously reached out and grasped its hilt.

At once, he felt a powerful chill surge into his heart.

Su Han was instantly surprised.

"This is actually a weapon second only to a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon?"

"And it was just placed here so casually?"

For a moment, Su Han became even more eager for the gains from this trip.

After all, a weapon picked at random possessed power second only to a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon. How could the other dharma treasures possibly be lacking?!

With that thought, Su Han put down the longsword.

After all, what he lacked now was not a weapon.

Moreover, while the sword was powerful, it did not feel particularly compatible with him.

Next, Su Han saw a shield covered in mysterious runes, radiating a heavy, solid aura.

"Mystic Turtle True Flame Shield, forged from basalt deposited within the Ten Thousand Year Volcano. Indestructible."

As Su Han read the introduction, he tried channeling spiritual power into the shield.

The shield instantly blazed with light, forming a sturdy earthen-yellow defensive barrier before Su Han.

However, Su Han still felt that this dharma treasure did not suit him very well.

After searching the treasury for a long time, Su Han still had not found a dharma treasure that satisfied him.

"Although the dharma treasures here are all excellent."

"If I want to bring out the greatest extent of my strength, I really need a dharma treasure compatible with Buddhism, Daoism, and demonic cultivation—or at the very least, one compatible with both Buddhism and Daoism..."

But before long, Su Han could not help sighing softly.

After all, he knew that such dharma treasures were exceedingly difficult to find. Even Tongtian Peak's treasury might not have one.

"If I truly cannot find anything suitable, I'll take the Mystic Turtle True Flame Shield from earlier."

"Either way, it is an extremely powerful defensive dharma treasure. This trip will not have been in vain."

Just as Su Han was feeling somewhat disappointed.

His gaze was suddenly drawn to an item in the corner.

It was a small Blood-Colored Jade Pendant, carved with a lifelike leaf.

The leaf was heart-shaped, with an extremely slender and elongated tip like a dripping water leaf tip. It was very beautiful and emitted a faint emerald-green glow.

Su Han picked up the jade pendant and immediately felt a warm aura surge into his heart, as though it resonated with his soul.

"Blood Jade Bodhi..."
