Legend of Swordsman

4354 Collecting the Five Elements

“Your Excellency, how do you plan to compensate me?”

Spirit Bristle Divine Lord’s eyes lit up as she clicked her tongue.

Jian Wushuang was speechless. If only Spirit Bristle Divine Lord had such an attitude earlier.

After a pause, Jian Wushuang pondered for a while and said, “100 million universe origin stones, 50 top-tier divine herbs, 50 top-tier divine materials, and 10 top-tier law true treasures…”

Jian Wushuang spoke slowly. Every time he mentioned a compensation, Spirit Bristle Divine Lord’s eyelids could not help but twitch. By the time he finished speaking, Spirit Bristle Divine Lord was already seeing stars.

“This, this…”

Spirit Bristle Divine Lord swallowed her saliva, and her arms trembled with excitement.

100 million universe origin stones were enough to buy dozens of star fields like the Spirit Bristle Holy Land in this desolate area of the universe!

Fifty top-tier divine herbs could nurture many Ultimate Rulers. There were also fifty top-tier divine materials and ten top-tier law true treasures!

The heavens had pity on him. In this huge Spirit Bristle Holy Land, only he, the Spirit Bristle Divine Lord, had a top-tier law true treasure.

The Spirit Bristle Holy Land had been in decline for far too long. Anything of value in the Holy Land had long been plundered clean by other forces.

This is enough to increase the strength of my Spirit Bristle Holy Land by several times!

“What?” Spirit Bristle Divine Lord exclaimed.

Jian Wushuang smiled and said, “Spirit Bristle Divine Lord, even if the resources I’m offering aren’t as good as the innate fourth fire Qi in the pond, it’s almost the same. What do you think?”

Spirit Bristle Divine Lord muttered to herself. Even if she didn’t agree, what could she do?

“Good! Then it’s a deal!”

Spirit Bristle Divine Lord gritted her teeth.

Jian Wushuang nodded in satisfaction.

“Good.”

Jian Wushuang immediately handed over an interspatial ring to let Spirit Bristle Divine Lord settle the bill.

Half a day later, Jian Wushuang bade farewell and left under the gazes of everyone from the Spirit Bristle Holy Land.

…

Outside the Spirit Bristle Holy Land.

“Sir Buqi, aren’t you going to stay any longer?”

Ruler Feng Xin said with some reluctance.

She did not know why, but during the time she followed Jian Wushuang, she had slowly formed a dependence on him, as well as an inexplicable, inexplicable feeling that even she herself was not clear about.

“I’m not staying.”

Jian Wushuang smiled at her.

Then, Jian Wushuang cupped his hands at her and said, “Don’t send me off. We’ll part ways here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Wushuang took a step with his right foot and suddenly turned into a flowing light, shooting into the distant starry sky like a small boat sailing into the sea of stars.

Ruler Feng Xin looked at Jian Wushuang’s back as he gradually disappeared into the horizon. A hint of melancholy appeared on her face. If she left today, she was afraid that they would never see each other again.

…

In the vast sea of stars, Jian Wushuang was refining the ancient bronze cauldron while driving the universe boat toward the depths of the desolate universe.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.

In the past ten thousand years, Jian Wushuang kept changing his name and appearance. He traveled in the wild areas of the universe and collected the innate five elements Qi.

After 10,000 years of collecting, he had already collected four of the innate five elements Qi, which were the Yi wood Qi, the D fire Qi, the Geng metal Qi, and the hai water Qi. As long as he collected the third Earth Qi, he would be able to complete the collection of the innate five elements!

The ancient bronze cauldron would also be truly opened!

However, the difficulty of finding the innate earth element Qi was much higher than the other four innate Qi!

Jian Wushuang had searched for three thousand years, but he had not found any information about the innate Earth Qi.

Therefore, Jian Wushuang slowed down and started to comprehend the great Dao.

In these 10000 years, he wandered around the secular world. Sometimes he was like a scholar traveling far away with books, sometimes like an old scholar, sometimes like a swordsman on horseback, watching hundreds of sects fighting for power, watching layers of forests being stained, watching the rise and fall of the tide, watching other people’s lives.

He saw the high-spirited youth, the steady middle-aged man, and the understanding of the world in old age.

Jian Wushuang gradually realized that everything in life was decided by the heavens, just like reincarnation.

However, the more Jian Wushuang looked at it, the more lost he became.

What was Dao?

It was like seeing a mountain as a mountain, but seeing a mountain as a mountain was not a mountain. Jian Wushuang had now entered a bottleneck state.

However, Jian Wushuang knew that although he was lost, he was the closest to comprehending the great Dao!

Once he truly glimpses the heavenly Dao, he would be like a reincarnated Nirvana, truly soaring up and comprehending the true meaning of the great Dao!

From there, he would be able to get a glimpse of the opportunity to become a Supreme Divine Realm expert!

…

In an unknown Starfield, in a world called the thousand forest world.

Jian Wushuang had turned into an old scholar with white hair and beard. He held a walking stick and walked on the official road outside the city with a slightly hunched body.

Leng Rushuang walked next to him. She turned into an old woman with white hair and a wrinkled face.

In the past ten thousand years, Leng Rushuang had finally broken through to the Ultimate Ruler Realm.

The two of them staggered forward like ordinary old men. No one would have thought that either one of them had the vast power to crush a planet with a casual pinch!

“Old hag, there’s a tea stall in front. Let’s go and rest.”

Jian Wushuang tilted his head slightly and looked at Leng Rushuang, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile.

“Alright, old swordsman.”

Leng Rushuang smiled back at him. She could not help but sigh.

The two of them were both at the Ultimate Ruler Realm and were immortal. It was probably impossible for them to grow old together.

Now that they saw each other’s appearance, it was not bad.

The two of them did not walk quickly, just like the most ordinary old people. They held their crutches and trembled as they walked toward the tea stall in front.

The martial power of this star realm was not high. In other words, in this entire star area, the strongest person was only at the Principles Master realm. With Jian Wushuang’s current strength, he could probably blow this star area up with a single breath.

Walking into the tea stall, he saw that the owner of the tea stall was a charming middle-aged woman. At his knees was a child about ten years old. He was waving a wooden sword and babbling some ‘Jianghu slang’ that he had learned from God knows where.

“What would you two like to drink?”

The lady boss of the tea shop looked kind. When she saw Jian Wushuang and Leng Rushuang walk in, she did not dislike them because of their age. Instead, she respectfully pulled out the wooden chairs and helped them sit down.

“Just some simple tea will do.”

Jian Wushuang said with a smile.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

The lady boss used the cloth on her shoulder to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead. Then, she turned around and went into the house to prepare.

However, the boy with red lips and white teeth under the lady boss’s knee stopped his sword dance. He was tired of it and his eyes rolled around. Then, he trotted toward Jian Wushuang.

“Grandpa, grandma, where are you guys from?”
