The visitor introduced himself as the president of the True Spirit Chamber of Commerce, but he did not engage in much small talk and was cautious and polite.
Without saying a word, he simply took out a Storage Bag, gently placed it in front of Lin Xuan, and said, "That person asked me to pass on this gift of gratitude, saying, 'Thank you for saving my life, senior!'"
Upon hearing this, a beautiful figure immediately appeared in Lin Xuan's mind.
He immediately understood.
Is it her?
Lin Xuan took the Storage Bag into his hand and probed it with his Divine Sense, raising his eyebrows slightly.
This Storage Bag has an astonishingly large capacity.
It is a precious artifact.
Even so, it was already completely full.
Besides Spirit Stone, there were various spirit herbs, resources, and a considerable number of pills.
He withdrew his Divine Sense and looked at the guild president before him, but the other party cautiously said, "If senior has no further instructions, I will take my leave now."
Lin Xuan didn't make things difficult for him and simply waved his hand dismissively.
"Go."
He disliked being disturbed too much, but the princess was very proper and polite.
Besides the gift of gratitude for saving a life, there is probably also a gift of Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi.
Even so, judging from the scale of this gesture, it's clear that the person he saved was probably no ordinary person.
Otherwise, although the True Spirit Prince's Mansion was in decline, the True Spirit Chamber of Commerce within the palace city did not obey the palace's orders, but was directly under the command of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty. To be able to command such people and make them extremely humble would be something that someone of slightly lesser status could not do.
However, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to it.
For him, this was nothing more than him saving someone, the other person expressing gratitude, and him simply accepting the money.
That's all.
As for its origins...
With the number of members in his Sword Pavilion growing and his forces expanding, how many of them had simple backgrounds?
Besides, why would you refuse resources that are offered to you?
Leaving aside his own clansmen and disciples, just considering the Feng Yong clan, the Chongming Bird Clan, the Bifang Clan, plus a Saint King whose injuries have not yet healed, and the Chongming Bird Clan, the resources they need are bottomless pits.
Not to mention there's a Xiaolu crying for food, and it's unknown whether she's awakened from her seclusion yet. Once she does, all the contents of his Storage Bag probably won't be enough to fill that little one's stomach.
This amount of resources is far from sufficient.
He accepted it readily, exchanged a few casual jokes with the Vast Sea Saint King, and then set off back to the True Spirit Prince's Mansion.
The moment Lin Xuan stepped inside, he immediately sensed that the Spiritual Power fluctuations within the palace were unusual.
He immediately became interested and, guided by the fluctuations of Spiritual Power, stepped into the training ground inside the palace.
The training ground is open to everyone and is not a restricted area; anyone from the Prince's residence may enter.
Now, in the center of the training ground, there is only a boy who looks quite young.
He looked to be only a teenager, with neat short hair and a brown outfit. Sweat was faintly visible on his forehead and trickled down his cheeks.
He practiced swordsmanship with great focus, and his movements were extremely slow.
Lin Xuan could tell at a glance that this young man was comprehending swordsmanship!
Moreover, the opponent's Sword Intent has already reached the third level, which means he is indeed a promising talent.
But after standing at the edge and glancing at it a few times, Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown.
wrong...
Although it's true that Third-Level Sword Intent can be considered a genius.
However, while the opponent's Sword Qi was powerful, it lacked agility and even appeared extremely rigid.
So much so that it only appears to be powerful and overwhelming.
In reality, it has already reached a dead end.
If this continues, the more one pursues lethality, the harder it becomes to escape the shackles of rigidity and stagnation; in the future...
His greatest achievement in Sword Intent would not exceed the fifth level.
After the fifth level, one will certainly not make any further progress. If one goes any further, one might even be plagued by inner demons and bring about one's own destruction.
In particular, Lin Xuan could tell that although the boy looked focused, he was actually struggling a lot.
His hand holding the sword was trembling.
There was a sense that his Sword Intent and his own were somewhat at odds.
Lin Xuan remained silent and continued reading. As he watched the young man about to sheathe his sword, his brows furrowed even more deeply.
The opponent's Sword Intent...
It never belonged to him.
Rather, it's unclear who they're imitating.
By replicating the Sword Intent of others, he gradually progressed to the Third-Level Sword Intent; no wonder he found it so strange.
But the other person's Root Bone do look quite good...
Having acquired a large amount of resources, Lin Xuan was in a very good mood. It was rare for him to be so eager to try something new, so he offered his guidance.
"The sword's strength lies in its center, not its form. You've got it backwards, already leaning to the left."
"If this continues, the Sword Intent will surely be diminished, making further progress difficult."
The young man had already sheathed his sword and stood in the center of the training ground. Upon hearing this, he suddenly looked up and saw Lin Xuan, a complete stranger, appear in his field of vision. Thinking of the recent events in the Prince's mansion, he immediately realized who this was and let out a cold laugh.
"Ridiculous! Although I am a member of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, my master is a Sword Master of the Ninth-Level Sword Intent of the Forgotten River Prince's Mansion. I received my master's True Disciple, yet you say I've gone down the wrong path?"
"Ha! Who do you think you are?"
"Even Senior Wang from Sword Ruins said my Sword Intent is remarkable. You're just a disciple that Xia Mengyao recruited from who-knows-where. Do you really have the right to criticize me?"
As the young man spoke each word clearly, Lin Xuan, though not angry, lost the hint of instruction in his eyes.
He chuckled softly and shook his head gently.
That's enough.
I was initially disappointed that such a promising Sword Dao was wasting his talent, so I wanted to offer him some guidance.
But since the other party is unwilling to listen, let's just leave it at that.
In any case, he didn't come here to take on a disciple; he just wanted to find information about his ancestor, Zhiruo.
Seeing the cynical look on the young man's face, Lin Xuan said nothing more and turned to leave.
Only the young man watched Lin Xuan's departing figure with cold eyes, and let out another cold laugh.
"What a despicable tactic! You think you can shake my Sword Heart? Humph!"
at the same time.
The True Spirit Mansion Master sat in his study, looking at the intelligence letter in his hand. He gently put it down, sighed, and reached out to rub his forehead.
Headache!
The worry in his eyes almost solidified.
Especially upon seeing the information on the letter, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
The Taiyu Divine Dynasty has been going through a very turbulent period lately.
The situation is becoming increasingly volatile.
The Eldest Imperial Prince's men died mysteriously within the territory of the Kaiyang Prince's Mansion's Mansion, including two Late Saint Realm who were left without complete corpses... When this news spread, the Eldest Imperial Prince was furious, and the head of the Kaiyang Prince's Mansion's Mansion was held accountable. Now is the time for a commotion.
The Kaiyang Prince's Mansion's Mansion is very close to the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, and the territories they control are practically neighbors.
The True Spirit Mansion Master breathed a heavy sigh of relief upon learning that no one had died on his side, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of barely suppressed anxiety.
Whether it's the Kaiyang Prince's Mansion or the Forgotten River Prince's Mansion, they belong to either the eldest princess or the Eldest Imperial Prince.
The Sixteen Princes' Mansions each possessed their own power.
However, despite his strong desire to join the True Spirit Prince's Mansion and curry favor with them, neither the princess nor the prince's faction showed any interest in him and ignored him.
After all, their True Spirit Prince's Mansion doesn't even have a Saint Realm.
It was utterly useless.
Thinking of the other royal mansions, the True Spirit Mansion Master couldn't help but think of the Mansion Competition, of that Wang Tianjiao, and of the Tianjiao that his nine daughters had invited.
He had thought that person could be incredibly powerful.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out he was merely a Great Emperor.
It's not entirely useless, but its effect is minimal.
While such strength is considered genius even in the Taiyu Divine Dynasty and beyond, this is the Taiyu Divine Dynasty's Mansion Competition, and those who are participating are the top geniuses from each palace.
The Great Emperor Realm is merely ordinary.
This made the True Spirit Mansion Master extremely grateful. Fortunately, he hadn't offended Wang Tianjiao, otherwise, their True Spirit Prince's Mansion would have been finished!
This time, the Mansion Competition will still depend on that Wang Tianjiao, who is at the Half-Saint realm!
