"That's right."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
"During my travels in the Outer Domains, I accidentally saved an ancient Tree Spirit that had lived for countless millennia. In gratitude, it gifted me the elixir recipe for the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill."
He brought out the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, fabricating a plausible reason.
In a few years, the Xuan Ji Tree Mother will be under his control, and once within his personal spatial, the Sword Sect members will have no way to verify it.
"Junior Brother, I have an excellent relationship with the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce. After returning to the sect, I spent considerable time studying the elixir recipe. Once I felt somewhat confident, I had the Chamber of Commerce help gather the refining materials, luckily managing to produce several Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills."
Lu Xuan casually fabricated the story.
"I see."
Jian Huanzhen muttered to himself, not doubting him.
