Chapter 255: Chapter 130: Competition for the Sixth Celestial Eye Demon Reflected Pupils and Celestial Demon Bone
At this moment, every Martial Cultivator on the mountaintop, including Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, Hua Yanluo, Yu Shier, and Yu Changge, looked at Lin Xuankong with curiosity in their eyes. Among the crowd present, even the two palanquin bearers at the Late Fourth Layer, who possessed the lowest strength among them, could guess that the method ’Mu Shiba’ used to remain impervious to corpse toxins was incredibly potent. Especially within this Ba Mountain Secret Realm, such a method was exceedingly powerful and immensely practical!
Lin Xuankong glanced around at everyone, a faint smile touched the corners of his lips, and he decisively shook his head. "Everyone has their own trump card, don’t they?"
Upon hearing this, disappointment flickered across everyone’s faces, but an even deeper curiosity sparked in the bright eyes of Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er. Her lips curled into a smile as she mused internally, This Mr. Mu is truly mysterious. Even now, I don’t know his real name, his origins, or how many skills he truly possesses. One thing is for sure: I must do whatever it takes to win over this Mr. Mu. If I could persuade him to join the Holy Dragon Association, or even my own Princess’s Mansion, that would be ideal! But if I truly wish to win over this Mu Shiba, I must cater to his preferences! Yet, his interests... Mr. Mu is so enigmatic; he has never revealed any of his secrets. I need to understand him better!
Just then, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s bright eyes darted around. She reached into the Silver Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch at her slender waist and retrieved a Jade Token. This Holy Arrival Jade Token... it’s just like the one I gifted to Lin Xuankong of the Yin Talisman Sect. It can be used to secretly observe... yes, it can be used to learn more about Mr. Mu!
With this thought, a smile graced her lips. She walked over to Lin Xuankong and said, "If Mr. Mu hadn’t emerged from his seclusion in time to deal with these two Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpions, I’m afraid everyone present would have been in peril. Even I would have found it difficult to escape the pursuit of Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpions! This is the second time Mr. Mu has saved Ying’Er’s life. I truly don’t know how to repay such a great kindness..."
"This Holy Arrival Jade Token was personally refined by my father using Profound Truth Jade. This Profound Truth Jade has a miniature Body-Protecting Array inscribed within it. If attacked, this Jade Token will automatically protect its owner. Furthermore, like the Holy Guardian General Jade Token, presenting this token is akin to me being there in person; it allows one to mobilize any Celestial Sect Elder or Holy Dragon Association Elder!"
"If Mr. Mu wouldn’t mind, please accept this Holy Arrival Jade Token!"
Witnessing this, envy immediately filled the faces of those nearby. The protective capabilities of the Holy Arrival Jade Token were even better than the defenses of an Exorcism Armor. This Profound Truth Jade, inscribed with a miniature Divine Protection Array, was considerably more valuable than an ordinary Exorcism Armor! Most importantly, with this token, one could mobilize Celestial Sect Elders and Holy Dragon Association Elders!
Possessing this Holy Arrival Jade Token was akin to holding the status of a Celestial Sect Grand Elder! Celestial Sect Grand Elders are all Tier Eight powerhouses, with most being at the Mid or Late Tier Eight!
No one present possessed such a Jade Token or status. Even the Little Yu King of Prince Yu’s Mansion was merely on equal footing with Celestial Sect Elders and could not arbitrarily command the Celestial Sect’s powerhouses!
As envy filled the onlookers, their gazes turned to Lin Xuankong. However, upon seeing his expression, they were all instantly stunned. Lin Xuankong’s face, at this moment, showed no trace of delight whatsoever...
After all, this wasn’t his first Jade Token. He had already obtained a Holy Arrival Jade Token during the Demon Subjugation Conference, though at that time, he hadn’t understood its power to mobilize experts!
Moreover, noticing the slight flicker in Xiaoo Ying’Er’s eyes, Lin Xuankong felt something was amiss. This Third Princess... she hands out Holy Arrival Jade Tokens to any talent she encounters. Can’t she offer something different for a change? And with her flickering eyes and that smile, this Holy Arrival Jade Token feels a bit suspicious!
Seeing Lin Xuankong’s silence, the Third Princess asked in surprise, "What? Mr. Mu doesn’t like this Protective Jade Token?"
Lin Xuankong sighed. "The Third Princess’s gift is so precious; naturally, Mu Shiba likes it very much!"
With that, he accepted the Jade Token, examined it carefully, and then hung it at his waist.
Seeing this, the onlookers were rendered even more speechless. This Mu Shiba... he received a Holy Arrival Jade Token with so many marvelous uses, and he actually sighed? Does this fellow not want it? If you don’t want it, just say so! We all want it!
Then, Lin Xuankong picked up the Demon Prison Cage and, accompanied by the Seventh Layer Spirit Puppet, walked towards the cave. Standing at the cave entrance, he turned to Xiaoo Ying’Er and the others and said, "I’ve just acquired two more Seventh Layer Demons. I plan to continue refining them!"
During the battle with the two Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpions, the Demon Prison Cage had displayed an extraordinary effect, instantly suppressing one of them. However, the swift dispatch of the other Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpion was not only due to Lin Xuankong’s True Qi possessing Immortal Tier Poison Resistance but also heavily reliant on Xiong Wudi’s strength and formidable Demon Technique.
Lin Xuankong was keenly aware that without this Seventh Layer Spirit Puppet, relying solely on his own strength, even if he could engage a Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpion for a time, he would ultimately be the one to falter. After all, the speed and attack power of a Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpion were far beyond his ability to withstand!
Even if he summoned a large number of demons, they would only be Late Fifth Layer demons. Late Fifth Layer demons could contend with Sixth Layer powerhouses for a few rounds. With an overwhelming numerical advantage, they might even have a chance of winning. However, against a Late Seventh Layer Corpse Scorpion, they were utterly insignificant!
