Chapter 50 Yaochi Dungeon
If help could be provided, Qiu ChujI would naturally not refuse. However, the issue with that Dungeon was no longer about rewards or gains. It was a matter of danger; despite the enormous rewards, the task was extremely perilous.
Even true Peak Monarchs might not be able to return unscathed, let alone those who could only enter as kings. Essentially, that Dungeon was an impossible mission.
"Let Jun and Baiyun decide for themselves?" Elder Mei suddenly said.
Both Qiu ChujI and Zhuang Wuxue showed expressions of surprise.
It was known that Xiao Jun was Elder Mei's most prized disciple; normally, one wouldn't let their own disciple face life-threatening risks!
Yet Elder Mei remained calm and said, "Firstly, with the strength of Jun and Baiyun, even if they cannot win, it shouldn't be difficult for them to retreat. Secondly, I have never intended to keep Jun sheltered under my wings at all times. Thirdly, Jun has reached a bottleneck; perhaps this trial will provide an opportunity for breakthrough."
"However, this matter still depends on their own willingness."
"Then please introduce us, Elder Mei."
For a sect leader to seek an introduction to two kings shows just how significant the rewards from that Dungeon must be for Yaochi.
Elder Mei did not delay and led Zhuang Wuxue toward Azure Cloud Peak.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun sent a message to Lan Ruoxuan through the Guest Elder Order: "Please, Senior Lan, perform Dream of the Ancient Times for me three months later."
To be honest, Lian Yun had not intended to have Lan Ruoxuan perform so soon. He wanted to wait until his Ghost Slaves had grown or encountered their own bottlenecks before having Lan Ruoxuan play, aiming for a collective enhancement at that time.
However, things were different now. Lian Yun had already studied many sword techniques and even mastered them to a high level, but he was still far from creating the Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
Moreover, he had a deep understanding of the Ten Thousand People Cultivation's Ten Thousand Swords Classic, from which he derived the concepts of three-person cultivation, six-person cultivation, nine-person cultivation, and twelve-person cultivation.
The Three Ding Three Siblings were undoubtedly the most suitable for three-person cultivation, yet they were even more suited for Lian Yun's Three Golden Hairs to practice. The Twelve Fierce Warriors were appropriate for twelve-person cultivation. Additionally, Big Head, Zhao Jinlong, and others could freely practice multiple techniques without issue.
With such cultivation methods, as long as there was enough time for the Ghost Slaves to comprehend them, it was likely that even if they did not elevate their realms, their strength would soar. Once their strength increased, they could participate in more intense battles, thus accelerating their growth.
This created a positive feedback loop, so there was no need to dwell on it too much.
Next came the continuation of practicing relatively ordinary sword techniques. Although Lian Yun considered that mastering more advanced sword techniques would enhance the future power of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, having too many advanced techniques could complicate its formation.
Thus, Lian Yun planned to first practice ordinary sword techniques and only study one or two mid-level ones. Once the Ten Thousand Sword Technique was fully formed in the future, he would gradually increase the number of advanced sword techniques to continuously boost its power.
During this period, Lian Yun also visited the Sword Pavilion and read three books: Supreme Sword Technique, Four Seasons Sword Technique, Yin Yang Sword Classic, and Outer Flying Immortal Sword Technique.
After reading them ten times each, Lian Yun grasped some key points but could not comprehend any of their essence. However, he did not mind; he merely wanted to understand some characteristics of the Supreme Sword Technique or the kind of might it should possess.
As for whether to cultivate them or not, Lian Yun had not given it much thought.
On his way to the Sword Pavilion, he heard news about the arrival of forces from the Four Great Cities. However, he did not pay much attention to it. Shortly after returning to the Sword Tower, he received a message from Elder Mei.
Knowing that she would not disturb him unless it was urgent business, Lian Yun did not hesitate and left the Sword Tower to fly towards Azure Cloud Peak.
Upon arriving at Azure Cloud Peak, Lian Yun was somewhat surprised to see Elder Mei along with a beautiful and holy woman. The woman appeared to be no more than thirty years old but interacted with Elder Mei on equal terms, clearly indicating her status as an important figure.
Without waiting for Lian Yun to guess, Elder Mei smiled and said, "White Patron, this is Zhuang Wuxue, the Master of the Yaochi Sect."
"I have met Senior Zhuang," Lian Yun said as he landed and bowed, feeling a bit puzzled.
Zhuang Wuxue did not speak at first but instead studied Lian Yun for a while before he couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly exceptional, unparalleled in the world."
"Senior's praise is undeserved; I am unworthy," Lian Yun replied humbly.
"Hehe! There is no need for modesty, my friend."
Elder Mei then smiled and asked, "I wonder if White Patron knows about the Yaochi Dungeon Quest in Xianyang City?"
Lian Yun felt a bit confused but nodded in response.
Lian Yun needed a large number of Honor Points, so he had Tian Shou investigate quests that offered high Honor Points. Among them, the quest with the highest Honor Points in Xianyang City was indeed the Yaochi Dungeon Quest.
The rewards amounted to thirty million Honor Points, along with thirty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins and three hundred bottles of Mental Potion.
However, after learning that this quest was a one-time challenge, Lian Yun decided not to pursue it; at least for the next year or two, he had no intention of attempting it.
Such high rewards were well-known, yet no one had completed the quest to date. Lian Yun would not be arrogant enough to think he could succeed, especially since he felt he still had many shortcomings at that time and even now.
Moreover, there was another point: it was a two-person dungeon that restricted the use of familiars. This meant that the dungeon could only be challenged by two people—one person and one familiar—forming three possible combinations. For Lian Yun, who had not yet met any peers of great skill back then, it was not something he could consider.
However, now—
Lian Yun glanced at Xiao Jun, who was still in quiet meditation, and looked at Zhuang Wuxue to ask, "Does Senior wish for me and Brother Xiao to challenge that dungeon together?"
"Indeed, regardless of whether we succeed, we at Yaochi are willing to pay three thousand Diamond Spirit Coins and three hundred Mental Potions! There will be additional rewards upon success."
With such a high reward for failure, if they succeeded, the reward would be at least three times greater, if not tenfold.
However, Lian Yun was not particularly concerned about Yaochi's rewards at the moment; instead, she was thinking about another benefit of the Yaochi Dungeon.
That was the fact that after clearing the Yaochi Dungeon, it would continuously produce a type of Spirit Water known as Yaochi Essence. This Spirit Water would only provide a minor effect for men, merely replenishing Spiritual Energy quickly.
But for women, taking a bath in Yaochi Essence would not only help maintain eternal youth but also enhance personal aptitude.
Regardless of how much Yaochi Essence could be produced, just this effect alone made it something that the Yaochi faction desperately wanted to obtain.
Perhaps when the Yaochi faction was first established, it was precisely because they valued this Dungeon that they built their Fortress within its vicinity. Thus, even if someone managed to successfully challenge it, the Yaochi Essence would still belong to Yaochi.
Little did they expect that the Dungeon would be so difficult that no one had completed it in decades or even centuries.
