Chapter 253: Lu Wen, Talent Increase!
Making his way over towards the place where he had sensed the aura of Elder Wang Hu, Xuan Hao thought about what he should do in the future to strengthen the Flying Sword Sect even more. After all, if he wanted to live a peaceful life, strengthening the Flying Sword Sect would be a good idea.
The stronger the Flying Sword Sect became, the less he would have to step in and help out from time to time.
Remembering that he still had four purification pills left in his possession, Xuan Hao went over who he should give them to. Given that he had already used one and it was useless for him to use one again.
The first choice that came into mind was his three disciples, but upon thinking more about it, Xuan Hao realized that they would not be able to truly make use of the purification pill before at least reaching the peak of the Core Formation Realm... So, Xuan Hao quickly excluded them.
It was not that he did not want Chu Yang, Qing Yi and Bai Ning's strength to increase, it was just that it would take way too long before they reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm, and he might even have gotten something better for them at that point in time.
In the end, Xuan Hao decided to use the purification pills to help increase the strength of the Flying Sword Sect... The question that just remained was...
Who should he give the purification pills to...?
The sect master was a given as he was the second strongest in the Flying Sword Sect outside of himself.
Shu Yao from the Spring Flower Sect was also a good option as the two sects would soon merge together and with the help of the purification pill, Xuan Hao thought that she might even have a chance at reaching the Domain Lord Realm!
Having another Domain Lord to support the sect would surely allow the strength of the Flying Sword Sect to reach another level all together.
One could stay back and defend while the other would be able to leave without fearing another power with a Domain Lord Realm Expert taking advantage of their absence to attack the sect.
Xuan Hao felt that it would be perfect if he could end up as the Domain Lord Realm Expert that remained inside the sect to hold down the fort for them...
But even if he decided to give two purification pills away like that, there were still another two left...
"Hm... What about the Wang brothers? Maybe even Chi Hu and Zhi Ruo...?"
Thinking about the other Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the Flying Sword Sect as he slowly floated down and landed in front of Elder Wang Hu's pavilion.
"This is? Elder Song...?"
Sensing the familiar presence, Xuan Hao opened his eyes as he instantly decided who the third purification pill was going towards.
From the aura of Elder Song, Xuan Hao could clearly feel that he was just a single step away from the Nascent Soul Realm!
If he used the purification pill, Xuan Hao was sure that the Flying Sword Sect would be able to gain another Nascent Soul Realm Expert.
This way, Elder Song would also be able to stay along for a longer period of time... After all, Core Formation Experts could at most live up to 300 years and Elder Song was getting quite close to the limit.
Losing him would be a great loss to the Flying Sword Sect. Having him become a Nascent Soul Realm Expert and take over the Vice Sect Master position would be a great boost to the Flying Sword Sects strength.
At the same time, the elders and disciples that looked up to him would also be filled with admiration and might even increase the spirit and productivity of the entire sect as a result!
If Shu Yao did not manage to reach the Domain Lord Realm with the use of the purification pill, Xuan Hao was certain that Elder Song would be the best use of a purification pill.
"Then, who to give the last purification pill to...?"
Muttering this to himself as he stood lost in thought in front of the entrance to Elder Wang Hu's pavilion, Xuan Hao did not notice a disciple walking over from the distance as he approached him from behind.
"Greetings elder! Are you here to see master...?"
Hearing the voice of a young boy echoing out from behind him, Xuan Hao stopped thinking about who to give the last purification pill to.
"Yes... Hm... Are you perhaps Lu Wen? I remember seeing you in a past tournament, if I'm not wrong you decided to breakthrough during the battle back then...?"
Nodding his head in response to the young boy's question, Xuan Hao quickly recognized him as Lu Wen from the newcomer tournament that Qing Yi had been a part of in the past.
From the looks of it, he had become a disciple of Wang Hu.
Xuan Hao did not really have much to say about him becoming the disciple of a Core Elder. Lu Wen was talented and would surely grow into a pillar of the Flying Sword Sect in the future!
The only thing that surprised him was the boy's cultivation realm.
Eighth Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
How in the world did this guy cultivate, even his strongest disciple was way more talented but was still only at the seventh stage!
"Natural talent... 35!?"
If he did not remember wrongly, his talent was only at 23 back then... It had grown by 12!
Xuan Hao suddenly began regretting not taking him in as his disciple back then...
Looks like I should not give the purification pill to Wang Hu...
"Y-yes, that is me. Let me show you inside and find master for you!"
Embarrassedly looking up at Xuan Hao upon hearing him mention his breakthrough during the newcomer tournament, Lu Wen awkwardly opened the door as he led Xuan Hao inside before quickly disappearing.
Not knowing that he had cost his master a valuable chance to increase his cultivation...
