Han Yue took a deep breath and finally calmed down. “Can you lend some to the sect’s great array? I will help you calculate it as contribution points. I will definitely treat you well in the future.”
After all, she had gone around the city and could not find any Water Spirit Pearl. She could not even afford to buy a Water Elemental Pearl as a substitute.
Han Yue really had no choice. She thought that since Ye Xuan was so generous, offering 500,000 spirit stones or 100,000 night-luminescent pearls, he might have a way, so she came to try her luck.
He didn’t expect to have such a big “surprise”.
“Alright.” Ye Xuan readily agreed. “But Sect Master, I hope you can agree to one condition of mine.” f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Han Yue frowned. “What condition?”
“The body technique that you gave me earlier is too profound. There are many things that I don’t understand when I was cultivating. I hope you can give me some guidance. If you can train with me for an hour every day, that would be great.”
Han Yue had thought that Ye Xuan would make some excessive requests or take advantage of her, which made her a little unhappy. Who would have thought that he would say such a thing
Han Yue agreed without any hesitation. “Sure.” She paused and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you have any other requests?”
“As a member of the Tai Qing Sect, I will naturally contribute to the sect for free. To be able to receive personal guidance from the sect master is already a blessing of three lifetimes. I dare not ask for anything more.”
Ye Xuan’s words were full of righteousness, which made Han Yue slightly surprised. It seemed that her previous guess was a little despicable.
“Then I’ll thank you on everyone’s behalf.”
Han Yue turned around and left. Before she was done, she heard a teasing voice behind her.
“Let’s take a bath together when you’re free, Sect Master– ”
“Wait, it should be training.”
Han Yue’s body stiffened, and then she quickened her pace. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed to be running away. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Don’t be fooled by this sect master’s cold appearance, and it seemed to be very difficult to see any emotional fluctuations. Now that she was like this, she had a little more human touch, like a cold and exquisite sculpture that had come to life, and it was particularly moving.
...
On the other side, everyone was still worried about the array core.
Seeing Han Yue’s arrival, Shen Hai quickly went up to her.
“Sect Master, we’ve just discussed this with the elders. Perhaps we can choose spiritual items with water attributes and inject spiritual power into them. Although they can’t compare to the Water Spirit Pearl, they can still last for a while. It won’t be too late to replace them when we find a suitable one.”
This method required a large amount of spiritual power, and it was not worth it for only a short period of time. However, there was no other way now.
They couldn’t possibly wait for the troublemakers to arrive the next day, and they didn’t even have a great mountain protection array. If word gets out, they’d be treated as a joke.
“No need, I’ve already found it.”
Han Yue took out several ice-blue crystals. They were like transparent crystals, reflecting the color of the sky. The blue was clear and clean, without any impurities.
Everyone only felt a wave of coldness hit them in the face. The heat brought about by the hot summer was instantly swept away, and their entire bodies exuded an indescribable refreshing feeling.
All the elders were shocked. “This is the Crystal Ice Chalcedony!”
“Look at this crystal’s shape. There are no impurities. It can be said to be of the highest quality. It’s rare in the market.”
It was no exaggeration to say that if this was put up for auction, it could be sold for a high price of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones! Han Yue casually took out dozens of them.
Not to mention one Water Spirit Pearl, even a hundred Water Spirit Pearls added together would not be as good as this Crystal Ice Chalcedony.
“I don’t know if this is enough.”
The Sixth Elder’s eyes lit up as he excitedly said, “Enough, enough!”
Ice was another form of water, and the conditions for the formation of the Crystal Ice Chalcedony were several times harsher than the Water Spirit Pearl.
Not only did it require a thousand-year-old ice crystal, but it also needed a chalcedony vein underneath. The two complemented each other. After a hundred years, it would absorb the spiritual energy in the ice and chalcedony to form such a crystal.
However, the thousand-year ice could only be found in the extreme north or in special terrains. It was not common at all, and the chalcedony vein was even rarer. Moreover, it needed both of them, so one could imagine how difficult the conditions to form it were.
Using the Crystal Ice Chalcedony as the array core could be said to be extremely extravagant. However, the effects it could display were also incomparable to the Water Spirit Pearl.
“As expected of the Sect Master, you can even take out the Crystal Ice Chalcedony.”
The Sixth Elder trembled as he received it as if it was a fragile glass product, afraid of breaking it.
“I’ve never seen so much Crystal Ice Chalcedony in my entire life.”
It was just a dozen of Crystal Ice Chalcedony, and the elders had such an expression that looked like they had never seen the world before.
Han Yue couldn’t help but think of the furnishings in Ye Xuan’s room and the use of Crystal Ice Chalcedony as ordinary bead curtains and ice cubes. If these people knew what Ye Xuan had done, they would probably be shocked.
Even their small hearts would not be able to take it.
The Sixth Elder carefully placed the Crystal Ice Chalcedony on top of the array he had set up earlier.
In an instant, a blue spiritual power burst out, and it was so dazzling that everyone could hardly open their eyes. The huge wave pushed them back as if there were a pair of invisible giant hands secretly exerting force, and everyone took half a step back.
At the same time, in every corner of the Tai Qing Sect, there were also light pillars of different colors rising from the ground. The lights of different colors intertwined and enveloped the entire sect, making it look like a dream.
Many disciples were amazed by the scene in front of them.
The temperature suddenly dropped. At speed visible to the naked eye, light blue crystals condensed in the air and floated in front of everyone like countless snowflakes. Then, they immediately turned into small water droplets and spread in all directions.
