587 Alchemy, Gongsun Shu’s Visit (3)
Sword runes appeared on the originally gray pill.
Within a radius of 10 miles, the Sword Qi was sucked in.
Lightning flashed.
Han Muye smiled.
Gongsun Shu’s Dao Domain was only in its infancy. It could be used to deal with ordinary enemies, but it could not suppress a Sword Dao expert like him.
What was even more unexpected was that the pill in his hand could absorb sword qi.
Is he afraid that the medicinal pill is not strong enough, so he comes to court death? Han Muye thought.
However, the power in the Dao Domain came from the accumulation and condensation of cultivators. Losing even a trace of it would be heartbreaking.
“Slash—”
As expected, Gongsun Shu could no longer remain calm. A sword light rose in the Dao Domain and stabbed at Han Muye’s chest.
The sword light was clear and quiet, but it was like the rising sun, emitting an irresistible force.
With the augmentation of the Sword Domain’s power, a cultivator’s casual sword strike would have the power of 10 thousand catties.
Such an expert was invincible in the Heaven Realm.
Seeing the sword light reach his chest, Han Muye was not surprised at all.
He raised his hand and pointed. The medicinal pill that had absorbed enough sword qi instantly turned around. With a sword light, it became entangled with the sword light in front of his chest.
“Clang—”
The sound was crisp, like two swords colliding.
There was no such thing as invincibility within three feet!
The sword light intertwined and the sword qi criss-crossed, but it could not get three feet closer to Han Muye.
The power of the Sword Domain was blocked three feet around him.
Han Muye’s eyes lit up.
In front of a great sword cultivator, I control everything!
“Boom!”
Endless heaven and earth pressed down on his head. Han Muye looked up at the sky and roared. Sword light soared into the sky and turned into mountains that supported the sky and earth!
The sword was broken and then erected!
This sword could pierce through the sky and support the world!
The clouds shook, and the wind and clouds rose and fell.
The sword light flashed and was destroyed along with the peaks.
There was no winning or losing.
It was just a spar.
Han Muye reached out and held the pill in his palm. He looked up and saw that the boundless Dao Domain had dissipated, leaving Gongsun Shu, who was sitting at the table in front of him, walking over with a grilled fish.
The bamboo stick in Gongsun Shu’s hand broke into two.
“Sir, Cuicui made this grilled fish. It’s definitely Southern Wasteland flavor.” Shao Datian brought the grilled fish to the table and said happily.
“Alright, I’ll try it.” Gongsun Shu smiled and put down half a bamboo stick.
Shao Datian cleared the dishes on the table and turned to leave.
Gongsun Shu picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and muttered as he ate, “I haven’t fought with anyone in 30 years, but the sword in my hand was broken the first time I fought today. It seems that I’m really old.”
The sword in his hand?
Han Muye sighed with emotion. He had used almost all his strength in the Dao Domain, but he had only broken a bamboo stick.
After all, he was a rare Great Sword Cultivator with unfathomable strength.
However, he was not afraid of anyone in the world.
“The grilled fish in their store really has the Southern Wasteland flavor. Although I’ve never been to the Southern Wasteland, I’ve tasted a lot of food from there.” Gongsun Shu, who had his bamboo stick cut off, was not annoyed. Instead, he seemed to be in a good mood.
He commented as he ate, as if he was an old glutton.
After being praised by him, Shao Datian and Cuicui, who were busy not far away, looked happy.
After all, as the saying goes, the ignorant have no fear. The two of them had no idea that the old man sitting in front of the small wooden table could turn the store into ashes with a wave of his hand.
Han Muye was in no hurry. He stood at the wooden table and waited for Gongsun Shu to slowly eat the grilled fish.
He had taken a huge advantage of Gongsun Shu’s Dao Domain. The sword Qi absorbed by the medicinal pill had saved him at least 10 million spiritual rocks.
After absorbing the other party’s sword qi, it was fair to stand and wait now.
After finishing a fish, Gongsun Shu stood up and put down a medium-grade spiritual rock. Only then did Han Muye smile and invite him to the Pill Destiny Pavilion.
“Grandmaster Huang Tingshu has sealed his brush for a hundred years. It’s rare for you to be able to obtain his handwriting,” Gongsun Shu said softly as he looked at the words on the door of the Pill Destiny Pavilion.
“Senior Gongsun’s writing is all sword light. It has another kind of charm.” Han Muye flattered him imperceptibly.
Gongsun Shu’s words were filled with sword intent. Ordinary sword cultivators could comprehend it just by observing the words.
There were not many great cultivators in the world who could condense swords with words.
Hearing Han Muye’s words, a trace of smugness flashed across Gongsun Shu’s face.
If Gongsun Shu was not satisfied with his handwriting, he would not have personally written the plaque of Xuhe Pavilion.
Han Muye smiled and invited Gongsun Shu to the Pill Destiny Pavilion. Zuo Yuting, who was on duty in the shop today, went forward to serve tea and retreated to the door.
Since Gongsun Shu could write a plaque, it meant that he had studied painting.
The four paintings in the Pill Destiny Pavilion caused his expression to change continuously. From time to time, sword intent would surge.
Was staging an open robbery on his mind?
Fortunately, Gongsun Shu did not take action. At last, he shook his head and muttered as he turned around.
After Gongsun Shu looked around and sat on the wooden chair, Han Muye cupped his hands and said, “General Feng Yuan’s Dao companion, Gao Changgong, is my senior. General Feng Yuan once cultivated under Senior.”
Gongsun Shu was Xiao Yueli’s master.
Even though Xiao Yueli was not a direct disciple, he had taught her sword techniques.
There was an alliance between the Xiao and Gongsun families.
Xiao Yueli was considered one of his own.
When Han Muye was coming to the Imperial City, Xiao Yueli had mentioned some of her connections in the Imperial City.
She had specifically mentioned Gongsun Shu.
Xiao Yueli also suggested that Han Muye visit Gongsun Shu.
In Xiao Yueli’s opinion, with Han Muye’s talent in the Sword Dao, he would definitely be valued by him.
Gongsun Shu was a great sword cultivator in the Imperial City. With his status, he was even stronger than the Xiao family in the Imperial City.
“Yueli?” Gongsun Shu was slightly stunned. He sized up Han Muye again, then nodded and said, “Then you can really call me senior.”
Speaking of this, he looked emotional. “Conferring deity titles with a statement and passing down the Alchemy Dao to the world. Are the juniors now not giving us seniors a way out?”
Han Muye looked up. Is this commander of the royal guards, Gongsun Shu, who is invincible in the Sword Dao of the Imperial City, teasing me?
“I originally came to see what kind of person the Pavilion owner of the Pill Destiny Pavilion is. Now it seems that he’s really beyond my expectations.” Gongsun Shu looked at Han Muye and said softly, “Was that sword pill just now a newly refined pill?”
Han Muye chuckled and nodded.
The strength of this pill had exceeded his expectations.
Not only could it unleash the combat power of a sword cultivator, but it could also absorb sword qi and grow on its own. It was really extraordinary.
“Although I don’t cultivate the Dao of Sword Pills, I’ve studied it. If this pill can replace the Sword Pill, its value will be immeasurable,” Gongsun Shu said with emotion.
In his Dao Domain, he could already sense the power of the Sword Pill.
The key was that the Sword Pill could be refined in the Dantian. Usually, it was only used as a nourishment pill to improve one’s sword intent cultivation. At critical moments, it could be used as a Sword Pill.
Many sword cultivators would be willing to spend a huge sum of money to find such a dual-use treasure.
“I don’t think you’re willing to sell this pill formula and refinement method, but…” Gongsun Shu looked around and said softly, “How about you give this pill to my Xuhe Pavilion to sell?”
