Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 744 - Cleansing the Sword

Listening to Hua Wan Yue’s apologetic words, Ling Xian’s expression softened and his gaze was no longer as cold.

He knew very well that if Hua Wan Yue chooses to help the G.o.dly flower, then he would be in grave danger. If uncareful, he would have to give up more than the essence – he would have to give up his life here.

Therefore, he coldly glared at Hua Wan Yue. “I’ll let it go this time, but if there’s a next time, I will snap the flower in two.”

At those words, the nine colored flower shrieked in a human voice, as if it had felt fear.

This made Hua Wan Yue frown. She didn’t understand why the flower would choose to continue absorbing Ling Xian’s energy and didn’t understand why it would scream.

This was something that has never happened before.

“This nine colored G.o.dly flower has gained spirituality.”

Ling Xian’s eyes flickered. He knew that the reason why the flower kept on absorbing his energy was because of the essence he had inside.

But he couldn’t understand why a flower would want the essence of herbalism.

“I have never seen something like this happen before, so I don’t really understand why.”

Hua Wan Yue bitterly smiled and took the darkened nine colored flower back into her storage pouch, “You have been astounded. I apologize on behalf of the flower.”

“Whatever. At least I wasn’t harmed.” Ling Xian waved his hand, “At least you are a person of your words. You didn’t form an alliance with the flower and try to harm me.”

“You are joking. You are the G.o.d of Flowers in my city. Even if we do not have a linearly beneficial relations.h.i.+p, I owe something to you.” Hua Wan Yue softly grinned.

Hearing this, Ling Xian’s expression turned gentler, “Since the flower has sucked away 50 years of my lifespan, then please hand over the Holy Spirit Water.”

Hua Wan Yue nodded. Though her heart was bleeding, she still sent two drops of the Holy Spirit Water towards Ling Xian.

“I finally got my hands on you.”

Looking at the two lively jade bottles, Ling Xian revealed a happy smile.

Though to acquire this object, he gave up 50 years of his life – he was able to gain Holy Spirit Water from it. It wasn’t something that was easy to get.

To others, perhaps lifespan is more important than Holy Spirit Water, but to him, this deal was a great one. Even if he had to pay 100 years it would’ve been worth it!

“Now I can finally awaken Ling Tian Xiang and I can finally witness the heavenly sword’s abilities.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and placed the two jade bottles back into his storage. Then he s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Hua Wan Yue, “The deal has closed. I wonder if you can provide me with a quiet room?”

“You are the G.o.d of Flowers in my city and your status is right below mine. Do you really think you can’t?” Hua Wan Yue smiled gently, her eyes were flickering with unusualness.

After that reb.u.t.tal, she has entirely learned of Ling Xian’s capabilities. Compared to hers, he was only lacking a tiny bit.

Such a young and capable monster possess a great bright future.

Why wouldn’t someone like this garner her infatuation?

Not just her, any force would do whatever they can to get Ling Xian!

“I see. Then thank you, City Leader.” Ling Xian meaningfully looked at Hua Wan Yue and guessed her next steps.

“There is no need to thank me. You are the G.o.d of Flowers in my city after all.”

Hua Wan Yue once again emphasized how he was the G.o.d of Flowers. “Follow me.”

Then, she turned around to leave.

At this, Ling Xian followed.

The two of them walked one after another. After they pa.s.sed by two halls, they arrived before an isolated garden.

“This is a little small. I hope you don’t mind.” Hua Wan Yue smiled kindly.

“You must be joking. Here is quiet and isolated, it suits me.” Ling Xian brandished his hand.

Hua Wan Yue played with her bangs and smiled. “As long as you are satisfied. I won’t disturb you any further.”

Then, in a flash, she disappeared right where she was.

“This woman is someone I can a.s.sociate myself with.”

Mumbling, Ling Xian pushed open the door to walk in. After he scanned everything with his soul and realizing that there was no unusualness, he no longer worried.

Then, he flapped around his sleeve and set a few defensive arrays to disable others from peaking in.

After all, he had just arrived here and he needed to be careful. Plus, that sword of his was invaluable. If someone else finds it, he would get much trouble.

“I have set everything up. Next, it’s time for the sword to s.h.i.+ne.”

Ling Xian’s eyes flickered with antic.i.p.ation. He thought of grabbing his Holy Spirit Water and dripping one drop on top of the sword in order to wash away the dirt and curse on the heavenly sword!

“Leave! I sure hope the legends are right and that the Holy Spirit Water could wash away all that’s tainted.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and paced around his room. Then, with his mind, he took out the heavy sword.

This sword was wide and heavy with many marks on top. It looked just like an ordinary sword without any unusualness. However, he knew very well that this sword was composed of the legendary purple heavenly gold. Even if it was not a good sword, it wouldn’t be a bad one.

Remember that every single kind of heavenly gold is extremely powerful and valuable. Even the omnipotent would fight until they die for this one material!

“I really do wonder what kind of glory this sword will show me after the curse is wiped away from it.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up and he grabbed a jade bottle from his storage pouch and dripped one drop to the tip of the blade.

Instantly, liveliness emerged and filled the entire room. If he didn’t set up arrays before he started all this, this liveliness would’ve spread out to the entire palace.

After all, this was the legendary Holy Spirit Water. Even one drop of it contained insane liveliness!

The moment the water was dripped on the tip of the sword, it began to roll down the blade. Though only one drop was used, the light it emitted engulfed the entire sword.

However, the sword itself never changed. It remained very much freckled and looked very ordinary.

Ling Xian was not surprised at this. After all, a curse takes some time to break.

Therefore, he wasn’t impatient and he wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he waited paitently.

Just like that, time went by little by little.

A day later, the heavy sword finally transformed again. The freckles on the body of the sword began to shed and rays of black air also rolled out.

Immediately, rays of eerie mist expanded throughout, dropping the temperature of the room. Even Ling Xian felt cold.

Without a doubt, the black rays of energy were the curses hidden inside the sword that were being chased out by the Holy Spirit Water.

“It truly is the legendary Holy Spirit Water. It is really effective!”

Ling Xian’s eyes brightened and he mumbled to himself, “It looks like if I give it two more days, it will be done cleansing.”

Then, he manipulated the golden Dan inside his body to help dissolve the unending black air. At the same time, he patiently waited for the sword to be reborn.

Time went by little by little.

The heavy sword was suspending in midair and under the nourishment of the Holy Spirit Water, its bra.s.siness was starting to shed and its real material was being revealed. The curse on the sword and the dirt on the sword, were all being chased away by the Holy Spirit Water and the sword was finally showing off its natural edge.

A legendary sword that was composed of the legendary purple gold… It wasn’t hard to imagine just how powerful it will be once it is restored back to new!
