Chapter 24 Enjoyed it ahead of time
"Senior Brother, what did you say? Who stole the elixir?"
"Father doesn't use his elixirs much, so I'll give them to Brother Xu to use first. I'll just return them to him when I find more elixirs in the mountains!"
Hearing the surprise in Song Daren's tone and noticing the strange look in his eyes, Tian Ling'er glanced at Xu Yan, stamped her foot, and hurriedly spoke up to explain.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I took the elixir. I'll just tell Father later. It's nothing serious!"
When Tian Ling'er saw Xu Yan looking over, her pretty face flushed slightly. She was a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue at Xu Yan, and then added a sentence.
"It's nothing, just a few medicinal herbs. Ling'er, you don't need to worry about anything!"
Xu Yan smiled gently, not taking the matter to heart at all.
"Didn't you invite me to visit Dazhu Peak? It's getting late today, so I'll trouble Brother Song to show me the way tomorrow morning. I'll pay a visit to Chief Tian then!"
When Xu Yan received the package from Tian Ling'er earlier and saw that she had wrapped the medicinal herbs very tightly, he had some guesses.
He was using the medicinal herbs himself, so why would he let Tian Ling'er be punished?
The reason he brought this up in front of Song Daren was because he was prepared to resolve the issue.
He was wealthy, and even a small amount of what he brought out would be enough to satisfy Tian Buyi.
He used these pure yang-attribute spiritual herbs to cleanse the marks on all the spoils of war he had previously acquired.
The method of boiling pure yang elixirs in water to cleanse marks has been recorded in various worlds.
Although the spiritual herbs from the two realms are different, the effects of boiling and cleaning the many pure yang spiritual herbs brought by Tian Ling'er were quite good.
Apart from the two magical flying swords, all the magical artifacts and treasures in his possession can now be refined again.
The fact that the magical flying sword failed to be refined is probably related to the fact that a large array was set up inside the magical artifact, providing an extra layer of protection, which prevented the spiritual medicine water from penetrating.
When Tian Ling'er heard Xu Yan take the initiative to protect her and promise to go to Dazhu Peak to see her father the next day, she felt both happy and inexplicably nervous.
Remembering what Xu Yan had just said, she looked at him with a charming smile and said happily:
"Brother Xu, what gift are you going to give me?"
Song Daren, who was standing next to Xu Yan, now looked at him with more appreciation.
This is a very responsible man!
Hopefully, he's someone I can entrust my life to!
He also had someone he secretly liked, and he knew perfectly well that his junior sister, who was somewhat clueless about romantic relationships, had probably developed feelings for Xu Yan.
"You used to really like the Cleansing Clothes Talisman, so this time I'll give you a jade talisman!"
As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, Tian Ling'er and Song Daren's eyes lit up at the same time.
When Tian Ling'er chased the rabbit and arrived near Xu Yan's cave, she was covered in dirt.
In front of the two of them, Xu Yan took out a jade talisman and waved it at Tian Ling'er. In just a few breaths, Tian Ling'er's whole body became clean and refreshed, which amazed the two of them.
Later, when Xu Yan entertained them, he took out a jade talisman and waved it, and the bamboo tube was filled with clear water, which was incredibly magical.
From that moment on, they felt that Xu Yan was shrouded in a mysterious aura.
Upon hearing that Brother Xu was going to give her a jade talisman, Tian Ling'er was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
With this cleansing talisman, she no longer needed her mother to wash her clothes.
No, she could do all the laundry on Dazhu Peak!
"Ah, Brother Xu, didn't you give me just one jade talisman? How come there are so many?"
Tian Ling'er was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Yan take out five jade talismans from a large wooden box in the corner.
"These five jade talismans are a set..."
Xu Yan then introduced the uses of the "Cleansing Clothes Talisman", "Dust-Avoiding Talisman", "True Water Talisman", "Soul Fire Talisman" and "Hemostasis Talisman".
Then, Tian Ling'er extended her finger and gently pricked the five jade talismans with the Shadow Needle, dripping her blood onto each talisman to signify its ownership.
The next moment, Tian Ling'er looked excited, picked up the Cleansing Talisman, and couldn't help but try it on herself.
The results were, of course, phenomenal.
"So Brother Xu had placed a dust-repelling talisman in his room. No wonder I never saw him use any cleaning tools, yet his room was always spotless!"
Tian Ling'er played with the five jade talismans, her smile never fading. Suddenly, she remembered something and her expression of understanding dawned on her.
"Brother Xu, did you make this jade talisman? It's so useful! I love it!"
Tian Ling'er's eyes sparkled as she snuggled close to Xu Yan, giggling sweetly.
"No, that's not it. I haven't learned the art of weapon crafting yet. But these jade talismans are beginner equipment for disciples of immortal sects. Ling'er, you're a lucky person; you're enjoying them ahead of time!"
Xu Yan chuckled softly.
This kind of beginner equipment for outer disciples is a privilege that only a few people can enjoy, even in the Xuanhuang Great World.
"Immortal Sect? Brother Xu, do you also have a sect?" Tian Ling'er asked curiously.
Each jade talisman has a small palace mark, with cloud patterns carved below the palace. Could this be the symbol of the immortal sect?
Song Daren also perked up his ears.
"Let's talk about this later!" Xu Yan shook his head and didn't elaborate.
The three chatted for a while longer, and Tian Ling'er was eager to return to Dazhu Peak to show off her new treasure.
A moment later, after agreeing to meet again the next day, she boarded Song Daren's Ten Tiger Immortal Sword and quickly left.
Dazhu Peak.
Shoujing Hall.
This is the main hall of Dazhu Peak. Behind the main hall, in the rear hall, lives Tian Buyi and his wife Su Ru.
Scattered around Shoujing Hall are several courtyards, which belong to Tian Buyi's six disciples.
Having just landed from the Ten Tigers Immortal Sword, Tian Ling'er's loud shouts attracted the attention of everyone on Dazhu Peak.
First, Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Lü Daxin, and Du Bishu gathered around. Soon, Tian Buyi and Su Ru also heard the commotion and came out of Shoujing Hall.
It was almost dinnertime when Tian Buyi heard his daughter shouting and was about to scold her when he saw her wave her hand. A mist enveloped Du Bishu, and Du Bishu's clothes, which were originally covered in grass ash, became clean.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Not only Tian Buyi, but even Su Ru was surprised!
Upon closer inspection, the two realized that the clothes of all six apprentices were unusually brand new.
Apart from Song Daren, the other five people also looked shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Buyi was stunned to see Tian Ling'er take out another jade talisman from her bosom, and with a wave of her hand amidst her laughter, a flame shot out!
What the hell?
When did Ling'er reach the fourth level of artifact manipulation?
Is this jade talisman some kind of magical artifact?
"Daren, what's going on? You've been spending all your time with Ling'er lately, running around outside every day. What have you been doing?"
At this moment, Tian Buyi disregarded his daughter's tendency to show off and asked her directly.
After a moment, having heard Song Daren recount the whole story, Tian Buyi and Su Ru exchanged a glance and sighed repeatedly:
"So, these magical jade talismans seem to be beginner's gear for some kind of immortal sect disciple?"
"Ling'er is quite fortunate; is she enjoying this opportunity ahead of time?"
For some reason, Song Daren felt that his master's tone was a little sour!
