Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

"Disciple Wu Yun greets all senior uncles and masters. May all senior uncles and masters be well!"

Upon entering the pavilion, Wu Yun solemnly and respectfully bowed to the several Core Formation stage peak masters and elders in the pavilion.

Faced with such a polite Wu Yun, the elders and peak masters present could only manage a few forced, signature smiles.

A strange and complex look even flashed in their eyes, and a few of them even seemed to want to get up and leave.

It seemed like they were worried about something happening.

"No need for formalities, please rise!"

"Disciple obeys, thank you, Senior Uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun stood up, his face still full of respect.

"Is there anything I can do for you this time?"

The old man in blue robes glanced at the other silent elders and peak masters, and asked with a slightly helpless expression.

"Uncle-Master, I have come here today mainly to discuss an important matter with you all."

Wu Yun nodded slightly and said respectfully.

"Oh, what is it? Just say it."

The old man in the blue robe continued to press for answers.

But a complex and helpless expression appeared on his face, as if he had already figured out what the boss wanted to say.

"I've taken in quite a few disciples in the past two years, so I've given away all my magical artifacts as gifts. As a result, I don't have any suitable magical artifacts right now. Therefore, I'm not entirely confident about the upcoming Three Sects Sword Trial. But fortunately, I still have some time. If I have enough materials, I'm sure I can forge another set of magical artifacts."

"However, I have been diligently cultivating and teaching disciples over the years, and I simply do not have enough materials to forge this set of magical artifacts. I have no choice but to come and ask my senior uncles and elder brothers to bestow some materials upon me so that I can forge this set of magical artifacts as quickly as possible. In this way, I can ensure that I win first place in this competition and bring glory to my Luoyun Sect."

Wu Yun calmly explained his purpose and needs for coming.

At the same time, he took out a jade slip from his bosom, held it up with both hands, and handed it to the old man in blue robes.

After hearing Wu Yun's words, the peak masters and elders present looked at each other, and the same thought flashed through their eyes and minds.

"Just as I expected!"

The smile on the face of the elderly man in the blue robe, who was at the head of the group, involuntarily froze.

However, he still reached out and took the jade slip from Wu Yun's hands, and examined it with his divine sense.

Upon closer inspection, the stiff smile on the old man's face completely vanished, replaced by suppressed dissatisfaction and anger.

But after reading it, he let out a long sigh, and the smile returned to his face, though his tone sounded somewhat helpless.

"Are you planning to forge a magical artifact, or a magical treasure?"

"Uncle-Master, I am now at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and I have also had some special feelings these past few days, which seem to be signs that I am about to break through the bottleneck. I estimate that after this Sword Trial Tournament, I will be able to go into seclusion to try to condense the Golden Core."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the blue robe, whose expression had been rather unpleasant, immediately brightened up.

The other peak masters and elders were also overjoyed.

Even one of the elders was getting restless and hurriedly asked:

Is this really true?

"How could this disciple dare to deceive my fellow disciples and senior masters?"

After saying this, Wu Yun released his spiritual energy.

It is the late stage of Foundation Establishment, which can also be called the stage of Pseudo-Core Formation, or even the half-step Core Formation stage.

If any sect gains a Core Formation stage cultivator, the sect's overall strength and prestige will increase.

Especially cultivators like Wu Yun, who are expected to condense their golden core before the age of one hundred, are the seeds of the future Nascent Soul stage.

Their Luoyun Sect already has Song Yu, and now if they add Wu Yun as well.

Then we probably won't have to worry about moving away from the Yunmeng Mountains for the next one or two thousand years.

Therefore, their previous dissatisfaction was tacitly swept away.

All that remained was surprise and joy.

"However, I am worried that if I lose in this Three Sects Sword Trial, I will feel depressed, which will affect my breakthrough. That would be bad. That's why I dared to come here to ask my senior uncles and masters for some materials for refining weapons. I hope that my senior uncles and masters will agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yun solemnly bowed to the peak master and elders present.

The meaning of this statement is already quite clear.

If they don't provide the materials, they won't be able to forge a suitable magic weapon. If the Falling Cloud Sect fails to win first place, they can't blame me.

This is actually a form of extortion, but it's just a harmless form of extortion.

It's like asking for pocket money for getting first place in an exam.

However, his words also caused the peak masters and elders, who were originally overjoyed, to show a hint of helplessness on their faces.

The elderly man in the blue robe, in particular, said in an annoyed tone:

"You really know how to pick your timing!"

"Did my senior uncle agree?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun's eyes lit up, and he pressed for details, fearing the old man might regret his decision.

"Most of these materials are quite rare, and it's uncertain whether the sect possesses them. If not, I will try my best to obtain them for you. However, I can only provide a maximum of one-third; the rest will require you to find them yourself after you reach the Core Formation stage."

When Wu Yun pressed for an answer, the old man in blue robes nodded, but did not fully agree, only promising to provide one-third of the materials.

Because anyone who isn't a fool can see that Wu Yun doesn't want materials for refining ordinary magical artifacts, but rather materials for refining future magical treasures.

If he waits until he condenses his Golden Core to ask for it, the Luo Yun Sect will certainly give it to him, and they will do their best to help.

But Wu Yun essentially owed them a considerable favor.

In the cultivation world, favors are always the hardest to repay.

But now they're asking for it, as long as he can win first place in the tournament and bring honor to the Luoyun Sect.

This favor is considered repaid directly, and there's no need to worry about owing a debt of gratitude anymore.

This is also why the old man in the blue robe said that Wu Yun knew how to choose his timing.

However, this made the old man in the blue robe even happier; having this thought was ultimately not as forceful as being overly ambitious.

Although Song Yu, like Wu Yun, was a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius of the Luoyun Sect.

However, his aloof nature makes him unsuitable for managing sect affairs.

However, Wu Yun is polite and sensible, and he respects his elders. In recent years, he has taken in many disciples and has thoroughly investigated and understood the situation inside and outside the sect.

If he successfully forms his core and nascent soul in the future, he will definitely be the best candidate to take charge of the Falling Cloud Sect.

"Thank you very much, Senior Master!"

Upon hearing the blue-robed elder's agreement, Wu Yun immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude, secretly relieved.

Obtaining one-third of the materials is sufficient.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, there will still be a considerable amount of materials left over after the seven top-tier magic weapon-level swords are forged.

Once everything is over, he can begin refining his natal magic weapon, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
