《Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer》 Chapter 1 The Immortal Cultivation Computer (1) Under the banyan tree by the pond. Cheng Xu looked at his own reflection and began to doubt his life. All of this started with him bringing a budget of 5000 yuan into the Tieba online posting tform to ask big bosses for advice. The big shots on the tform were all talented and good with their words. In the blink of an eye, they had raised the budget to more than 10,000 Yuan, and they had no intention of stopping. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more outrageous, Cheng Xu sent a message weakly, ¡°Bosses, please don¡¯t increase the budget. I really don¡¯t have that much budget.¡± Unfortunately, the big shots who were in full swing had no intention of paying attention to him. The helpless Cheng Xu had no choice but to leave silently. The moment he clicked ¡®X¡¯ on the top right corner, the screen suddenly froze on the Tieba page, and in his state of confusion, it twisted into a ck hole-like vortex. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already transmigrated into the body of the ¡®lucky man¡¯ of the immortal cultivation world. As for why he knew that this was the world of cultivators, the reason was simple. The original owner of this body was a mid-stage Qi refining cultivator from a cultivation sect called the Yunzhong sect. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that this cultivator had a tragic fate and had been expelled from the sect. ording to the memories left behind by the original owner, it seemed that when he was picking herbs in the mountains, he identally fell from the cliff and fell into a hot spring filled with spiritual energy. What followed was the scream of a beautiful girl. In all honesty, he really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. However, that little fairy had an extraordinary status, so no matter how he exined or apologized, it would be useless. After being expelled from the sect, the original owner wanted to go to the nearby gathering ce of rogue cultivators to make a living. Who would have thought that not long after he left the Yunzhong sect, he would be killed and robbed by two ¡°fellow disciples,¡± and even his remaining property would be plundered clean. He had no choice. Since he had been expelled from the sect, the sect rules naturally could not protect him. Now that he thought about it, the little fairy¡¯s father seemed to have only expelled him from the sect, but in fact, it was equivalent to a death sentence. Arge number of people in the sect wanted to curry favor with him, so there was no need for him to do it personally. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Bro. Leave the rest of your life to me.¡± Cheng Xu, who was gradually epting the reality, looked up at the vast sky, his eyes shining. Just like the protagonists of time-travel novels, he had alsoe with a plug-in. To be precise, he had transmigrated together with his stupidputer. However, the stupidputer seemed to have be one with him. With a slight thought, a futuristic-looking information panel appeared in front of him. Cultivationputer [ Motherboard: Cheng Xu (Qi refining middle stage) ] [ CPU: spiritual sense (single core 0.8GHz) ] [ Memory: perception (128MB) ] [ Hard Drive: sea of consciousness (256MB) ] [ Graphics card: integrated 1.0 (512MB) ] [ Sound Card: Integrated 1.0 ] [ Network card: integrated 1.0 (10Mbps) ] To be honest, it looked strange. His body and cultivation had be the motherboard of aputer. His CPU had be the spiritual will of a cultivator. His internal storage had be his perception. His hard disk had be his sea of consciousness. When he first saw this, Cheng Xu froze for a long time. After all, theputer¡¯s configuration was really a little trashy. After fiddling with it for a long time, he found that theputer¡¯s configuration could be upgraded with spirit stones, and he was immediately excited. In addition to the above hardware information, there was also a bunch of pre-installed applications in the system: Alchemy (2MB) Refining (2MB) Talisman (2MB) Array (2MB) Encyclopedia of General Studies (5MB) ¡­ At first, Cheng Xu was excited for a long time. When he clicked on these applications, he found that they were all empty shells, or rather, basic frameworks. He still had to collect the corresponding data to unlock the functions of these applications. After that, there were three applications left behind by the body¡¯s original owner: Cloud strike (13MB), Tiger subduing fist (7MB), cloud steps (6MB). He had thought that these misceneous applications would not take up a lot of space until he opened the hard drive. [ Disk Space: 239MB/256MB ] Excluding the usage of those applications, there was an extra 200MB of usage, which seemed to be the system usage. ¡°What can I?do with 17MB of spare space!?¡± Cheng Xu muttered to himself, thinking that he had to find a way to expand the hard disk space (sea of consciousness) first. However, ording to the system prompt, it would take a thousand spirit stones to upgrade the hard disk to the next level of 512MB. Cheng Xu was only a mid-stage Qi refining cultivator, so it was not easy for him to get 1000 spirit stones. Fortunately, he now had the cultivationputer with him, so he should be able to find some ways to make money. ¡°In my memory, this ce is not far from the market of Yuntai Mountain.¡± At the thought of this, Cheng Xu resolutely embarked on his journey to the market on the cloud tform. ¡®You don¡¯t say. The physique of immortal cultivators is indeed different!¡¯ He ran ten miles in one breath without even panting. Moreover, after using cloud steps, his speed was extremely fast. The only w was that it consumed true Qi. Yuntai Mountain Market was thergest cultivator market in the surrounding area. The cultivators from various sects and rogue cultivators were a mix of good and bad. When Cheng Xu arrived at the market, it was already dusk. The dim yellow light coupled with the scene of clouds and mist made it look like an immortal market. There were cultivation methods, talismans, martial arts books, and misceneous magic treasures! ¡°Don¡¯t miss it when you¡¯re passing by!¡± ¡°The Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s improved pills are now avable for sale. This is an opportunity that can not be missed!¡± ¡°Antique fragments are on sale!¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s heart surged with emotions as he listened to the vendors touting around him, but he was feeling a little awkward. After hesitating for a while, he came to a stall that sold misceneous books. The stall owner was a man in thete stage of Qi refining. Judging from his clothes, he should be an itinerant cultivator. ¡°Haha, Fellow Daoist, you have great taste. These are all high-quality items that I have collected over the years. Most importantly, I¡¯m selling them at a fair price.¡± He saw Cheng Xu standing in front of the stall, a little dazed. Because the moment he approached the stall, the data of the items on sale at the stall was presented clearly. Geography of mountains and rivers of little South Heaven: 9.8MB 100 Ways to Refine Medicine:?5.1MB Perfected Danyang¡¯s Elixir Refining notes (iplete): 2.7MB Guide to Beginner-level Arrays: 2.9MB Setting Sun Finger (Level 1 skill form): 3.5MB ¡­ The main point was that there was a Postfix of [ read or not ] next to the information. Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t stupid. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and used his mind to select the skill form for the Setting Sun Finger. ¡°Read data.¡± In just three to four seconds, the message of a sessful reading appeared before his eyes. ¡°Do you want to install it?¡± Cheng Xu did not even think and immediately confirmed the instation. After three seconds of loading and ten seconds of instation, Setting Sun Finger¡¯s data appeared in the system application. Cheng Xu only felt a burst of enlightenment. In a daze, the skill form of the Setting Sun Finger was deeply imprinted in his mind, as if he had personallyprehended it countless times. ¡°Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist?¡± Seeing Cheng Xu in a daze, the stall owner waved his hand in front of his eyes. ¡°Uh, I¡¯m sorry, I got distracted.¡± Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly and continued to put on an act in front of the stall to choose. The stall owner had a strange look in his eyes, but he didn¡¯t say anything. However, this customer seemed to have taken a long time to choose. He didn¡¯t say anything and just looked around, hesitating. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please tell me which one you¡¯ve taken a fancy to.¡± The stall owner was a little impatient. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Fellow Daoist. I¡¯m finding it a little hard to choose.¡± ¡°Difficult to choose? What kind of illness is that?¡± ¡°Uh, it¡¯s a symptom of having difficulty making a choice when faced with a choice.¡± Cheng Xu exined with a wry smile, then shook his head and turned around. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just walk around.¡± After he finished speaking, he turned to look elsewhere under the stall owner¡¯s strange gaze. At this moment, Cheng Xu was so excited that he could not control himself. If not for the limited space on the hard disk, he really wanted to store all the books in his mind. He had just installed a total of three books, namely the Setting Sun Finger and the two alchemy books. He had used up a total of 11.3 MB of hard disk space. Among them, two of the alchemy books were directly incorporated into the [ Alchemy ] system after they were installed. He had also expanded his [ Alchemy ] application from 2MB to 9.8MB. Although it took up a lot of space, the gains were equally huge. At this moment, he hadpletelyprehended the two alchemy books and possessed a certain level of alchemy ability. Now, as long as he could obtain a sum of money, he could make money by refining some simple medicinal pills. Looking at the dazzling collection of cultivation technique manuals in the market, Cheng Xu drooled. Unfortunately, there was not enough space on his hard disk. (250.3/256) The sky had already darkened, and the city was lit up with lights. It was a beautiful scene. In the end, Cheng Xu found a pretty good defensive spell, Protective Dipper energy, on a stall. Unfortunately, it was the same as the Setting Sun Finger and only had a first-level technique. While Cheng Xu was pretending to read the data of the Protective Dipper Energy, two familiar voices suddenly drifted into his ears. When he turned around, his expression became sullen. The two of them were dressed in Yunzhong sect¡¯s outer sect robes and had a Yunzhong sect badge on their waists. They were the two ¡°fellow disciples¡± who had killed the original owner of the body. The slightly fatter ck-faced man was called Li Zhong, and the slimmer one was called Liu Hong. Their cultivation levels were the same as Cheng Xu, at the mid-stage of Qi refining. At this moment, the two of them were carrying a familiar storage bag, constantly taking things out and negotiating the price with the stall owner. Yes, the two of them were disposing of stolen goods, and they were disposing of his stolen goods! Cheng Xu¡¯s killing intent surged in an instant. After installing the Protective Dipper Energy, he lowered his head and silently followed them. Li Zhong and Liu Hong did not notice that Cheng Xu was following them. After the two of them finished selling the stolen goods, they left the market while talking andughing as they divided the money equally. ¡°Don¡¯t say that! That kid, Cheng Xu, has quite a good family background!¡± Li Zhong¡¯s eyes were filled with pride, but he didn¡¯t know that the ¡°vengeful spirit¡± was already behind him. ¡°It¡¯s just a little hard to kill.¡± Liu Hong nodded in agreement. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. He can only me it on his bad luck for offending the big boss of the inner sect!¡± ¡°Haha we have made a fortune this time. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s find a ce to drink.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking!¡± The two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain as they chatted andughed. Cheng Xu followed behind him silently. The forest was dark and terrifying under the night sky. Once he confirmed that there was no one around, Cheng Xu did not hesitate any longer and activated the Setting Sun Finger?tounch a surprise attack. Whoosh! True energy condensed at the tip of his finger and shot out a finger force that was like the setting sun, aiming directly at the back of Li Zhong¡¯s head. The two people who were stillughing and joking a second ago immediately became alert. Unfortunately, when Li Zhong turned around in shock, the force of the Setting Sun Finger was already very close. Li Zhong simply didn¡¯t have time to block, and his head was pierced through on the spot by the Setting Sun Finger force. His eyes widened as he fell to the ground. Liu Hong was shocked. ¡°Which Fellow Daoist dares to touch the disciples of the Yunzhong sect?!¡± ¡°Your Grandpa, I-!¡± Cheng Xu dashed out of the bushes with cloud steps and threw a Tiger Taming punch at Liu Hong. ¡°You¡­ You ¡­?¡± Liu Hong¡¯s eyes widened in fear. He retreated in a panic as if he had seen a ghost. ¡°Aren¡¯t you already dead? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, and I¡¯m here to take your life!¡± Cheng Xuughed coldly and sent him flying several meters with a punch. Liu Hong, who had regained his senses, touched the blood at the corner of his mouth and said coldly, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how you survived, I can kill you again if I managed to do it once!¡± Chapter 2 Medicine Refining and Configuration Upgrade 1 Cheng Xu smiled without a word and went up to punch him. What a joke, the two of them had to work together to ambush it before it was killed. Now that Liu Hong was the only one left, how could he possibly be a match for him? This time, Liu Hong was prepared. He easily parried the Tiger subduing fist and pushed out a palm with his backhand. BOOM! The wind from the palm was full of fire. Cheng Xu hurriedly activated the protective Dipper energy he had just installed. Ayer of Dipper energy circted around his body, blocking the ming palm wind. ¡°Strange, when did you start cultivating your protective Dipper energy?¡± Liu Hong was slightly surprised. He stared at Cheng Xu¡¯s protective Dipper energy in confusion. After all, he and Li Zhong had just killed Cheng Xu this morning, so they were very clear about Cheng Xu¡¯s methods. In response, Cheng Xu smiled without saying a word and continued his pursuit. ¡°You¡¯re not Cheng Xu!¡± Liu Hong seemed to have realized something. He thought that some evil spirit had possessed Cheng Xu¡¯s corpse.¡±I¡¯d like to see what kind of evil you are!¡± After saying that, he waved his ming palm and attacked Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu was neither fast nor slow. He used the Tiger taming fist to parry for a few rounds, and was soon engaged in a battle with Liu Hong. In the process of fighting, Cheng Xu was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to read the other party¡¯s information. Liu Hong: [ Cultivation: Middle stage of Qi Refinement realm ] [ Cultivation technique: Cloud intermediate cultivation technique (13MB) ] [ Martial arts techniques: ming Palm (7.2MB), Plum Blossom Stance (4.5MB), Body Forging Fist (4.2MB) ] Judging from the data of the cultivation methods and martial arts on Liu Hong¡¯s body, he had practiced them quite well. After exchanging a few blows, Liu Hong took the opportunity to use his ming Palm to attack Cheng Xu. The wind from his palm burned with raging mes, and its power was extraordinary. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He used cloud steps to narrowly avoid the attack and kicked him away. Taking advantage of Liu Hong¡¯s unstable figure, he urately shot out the Setting Sun finger at Liu Hong¡¯s vital point. The speed of the Setting Sun finger was extremely fast. Although Liu Hong managed to dodge in time, his shoulder was still pierced by the force of the attack. ¡°Damn it, how did this guye up with so many tricks!?!¡± In a moment of panic, Liu Hong turned around to flee, but Cheng Xu easily caught up to him with cloud steps. The injured Liu Hong was obviously unable to withstand the attack of the Tiger Subduing fist. Panic, confusion, and unwillingness appeared in his eyes as he said, ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, let¡¯s talk this out. I can return all the things I stole from you, and all of Li Zhong¡¯s assets will also be yours.¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you very arrogant when you killed me?!¡± Naturally, Cheng Xu would not show any mercy. His punches became fiercer and fiercer as he pressed on. ¡°You¡¯re also a disciple of the Yunzhong Sect, so you should know the consequences of killing a Yunzhong Sect disciple. As long as you let me go, I can keep Li Zhong¡¯s death a secret!¡± Liu Hong¡¯s face turned pale as he tried to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, what weed him was the force of the Setting Sun finger. Pfft! Liu Hong let out a blood-curdling screech as he was struck in the chest by the Setting Sun finger. With his eyes filled with unwillingness and bewilderment, he lost consciousness. Cheng Xu heaved a sigh of relief after he was done and decisively went forward to search the two bodies. Needless to say, the two of them had added up quite a bit of wealth. Just the spirit stones alone were as many as 475 pieces. In addition, there were some scattered medicinal pills and medicinal herbs, as well as a few cultivation methods and martial arts manuals. Although Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t interested in their martial arts, he could still sell the manuals for money! After he was done, he found an area where wild beasts roamed, threw the corpses away, and returned to Yuntai Mountain Market with satisfaction. He found the stall where the two of them had disposed of their stolen goods and sold a few cultivation technique manuals, earning him another 78 spirit stones. As for the scattered medicinal pills and medicinal herbs, he would definitely keep them for his own use. There were a total of 553 spirit stones, which was still far from enough to upgrade the hard disk, but it could be used as the capital for making money from refining elixirs. He found a stall selling all kinds of alchemy materials nearby, and only after taking a look did he realize that the stall owner looked a little familiar. He then looked at the stall next to it, and it was the one where he had installed the protective Dipper energy. The two stalls were owned by the same person. ¡°Eh ~ isn¡¯t this the fellow Daoist from earlier?¡± The stall owner was a female cultivator in her early twenties. Although her appearance was not outstanding, it was quite pleasing to the eye. ¡°It seems that you have considered it carefully.¡± ¡°Uh,¡± Cheng Xu murmured as he shook his head in embarrassment. ¡°I want to buy some medicinal herbs.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want that protective Dipper energy anymore?¡± the female cultivator was stunned. ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and shook his head. ¡°Alright,¡± she said. The female cultivator was somewhat disappointed but she went on and asked, ¡°May I know what herbs you need?¡± ¡°Heavenly Aroma herb, Old Mountain ginseng, White Beard flower¡­¡± Cheng Xu listed out seven to eight types of medicinal herbs in one breath. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you going to refine a Qi-gathering elixir?¡± the female cultivator¡¯s eyes lit up after hearing this. ¡°What? fellow Daoist, you know how to refine elixirs?¡± Cheng Xu was a little surprised. ¡°I don¡¯t have that kind of ability. I¡¯ve only learned it for a while, so I remember the materials needed for the Qi-gathering elixir.¡± The female cultivator smiled and asked, ¡°I wonder how many Qi-gathering elixirs you are preparing to make, and if it¡¯s possible, can you save a few for me?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. It could only be said that alchemists were indeed very popr in the immortal cultivation world. He hadn¡¯t even started refining, and yet he already got his first customer. ¡°Fellow Daoist, how many do you need?¡± ¡°Five, five should be enough.¡± The female cultivator said after thinking about it for a moment. ¡°Sure,¡± Cheng Xu nodded readily.¡±But what about the price?¡± ¡°That will depend on how much the Qi-gathering elixir is worth, Fellow Daoist,¡± the female cultivator replied with a smile. Cheng Xu smiled, understanding that the other party was going to offer her price based on the quality of the pills. After a round of small talk, he sessfully purchased a batch of good medicinal herbs with 409 spirit stones. In the end, the female cultivator even specially rounded the price down for him and sent Cheng Xu off with a smile. After buying the herbs, Cheng Xu did not leave the market. Instead, he rented a quiet room in the market for a price of two spirit stones a day, which was still eptable. He closed the door of the quiet room and activated the sound-proof formation that came with the room. He took a deep breath and opened the [ Alchemy ] application that came with the cultivationputer. An ancient-looking window popped up in front of him. [ Alchemy ] [ Pharmacology level: Level 1 ] [ Refining ability: elementary ] [ Form: Qi-gathering elixir, Qi-exploding pill, Mind-clearing pill, Small recovery elixir ] The four pill forms were all recorded in the two alchemy books. At the same time, they were also a few of the moremon primary pills in the immortal cultivation world. Among them, the Qi-gathering elixir could be used for assistance during cultivation in the Qi refinement stage, the Qi explosion pill could be used to temporarily increase the genuine Qi, and the Heart Clearing pill could suppress the distracting thoughts in one¡¯s heart. As for the small reversion pill, it was amon healing medicine. In short, it was very practical. Of the four types of pills, the one that sold the best was naturally the Qi-gathering elixir, which was also the reason why Cheng Xu had chosen to refine Qi-gathering elixir. On one hand, it was easy to sell, but on the other hand, he needed it himself. ¡®Tsk, tsk. It¡¯s really different with the system. You don¡¯t even need a pill furnace.¡¯ Cheng Xu secretly clicked on the form for the Qi-gathering elixir, and the Qi-gathering Elixir¡¯s production page quickly popped up in front of him. Then, he ced the corresponding medicinal materials in the corresponding positions and clicked on the production button. In the next second, the floating medicinal ingredients gathered into a ball of light and gradually revealed the shape of a pill furnace with a progress bar floating above it. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s so slow?¡± Looking at the tortoise-like progress bar in front of him, Cheng Xu was somewhat speechless. They were using ck technology to refine medicine, yet they still had to wait? During the process of refining the pill, Cheng Xu could clearly feel that his brain was being upied by some kind of power, and his mental strength was slowly being consumed. From this, it could be seen that the system had to mobilize theputing power of the [ immortal cultivationputer ] to refine medicine. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then after I level up my configuration, will I be able to speed up my refining?¡± At this thought, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it. After a while, the progress bar reached the end. After a dazzling glimmer, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. There was a small pile of yellow powder in front of him. ¡°The quality seems pretty good.¡± Cheng Xu nodded in satisfaction and used the oil paper he had prepared to divide the Qi-gathering powder into three small bags, leaving only a small handful. Cheng Xu had just estimated that it would take about twenty minutes to make a batch of Qi-gathering elixir, which was still eptable. He had thought that he would be able to use up most of the materials in one night. However, it turned out that he had been overthinking it. After making two furnaces in a row, his mental power was almost exhausted. He had no choice but to take a break before refining. Just like that, the Qi-gathering elixir, which he had nned to finish refining in one night, was dragged on to the third day. In the subsequent refining process, Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised to find that the system did not seem to have any failures or defects in the refining process. The refining results were very stable. He had originally thought that it would be good enough if he could produce a dozen or twenty sets of Qi-gathering elixirs, but he had not expected that not a single one of the medicinal ingredients he had bought would be wasted. In the end, he had managed to produce a total of 35 sets of Qi-gathering elixirs. After paying the four spirit stones, Cheng Xu walked out of the quiet room in the market square, feeling dizzy. However, when he saw the 35 sets of Qi-gathering elixir in his storage bag, his mood instantly improved. He found the female cultivator¡¯s stall and gave her five packets of Qi-gathering elixir. ¡°Fellow Daoist, the Qi-gathering elixirs you wanted are ready.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The female cultivator¡¯s eyes lit up and she hurriedly opened a packet to check it. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement. ¡°The medicinal properties are close to at least the middle-grade. Fellow Daoist, your alchemy abilities are really surprising.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. After all, I¡¯ve put in a lot of effort in refining those elixirs.¡± Cheng Xu put on an act. The female cultivator nodded happily. ¡°The current price of low-grade Qi-gathering elixir in the market is usually around 60 spirit stones. However, your Qi-gathering elixir is close to middle-grade, so how about 70 spirit stones per bag?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. He then sessfully obtained 350 spirit stones. Only five packets were sold and he was already almost breaking even. He could only say that the alchemy industry was really profitable. ¡°By the way, I¡¯m Yue Wanling.¡± The female cultivator happily put away the Qi-gathering elixir and suddenly looked at Cheng Xu. ¡°Cheng Xu.¡± ¡°Alright, Fellow Daoist Cheng.¡± Yue Wanling chuckled and nodded. She closed her stall and was about to leave. It was obvious that she was going to try to reach thete-stage of Qi refining. Jianghu is a long way to go. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows. After she finished speaking, she hurriedly closed the stall and left the market. Cheng Xu had originally wanted to ask how he could improve the sales of the Qi-gathering elixirs, but upon seeing her leave, he could only shake his head helplessly. He spent five spirit stones to rent Yue Wanling¡¯s stall and ced 20 sets of Qi-gathering elixirs on disy on the spot. The facts proved that he had been overthinking. Not long after the Qi-gathering elixirs were disyed, they attracted many cultivators. Although many customers were skeptical about the price of 70 spirit stones, they were happy to ept it after seeing the quality of the Qi-gathering elixirs. In less than two hours, the 20 packets of Qi-gathering elixirs were sold out. Including the spirit stones for the five packets that Yue Wanling had paid him, he had earned a total of 1750 spirit stones. As for the remaining 10 packets, they were naturally left for Cheng Xu¡¯s own use. After he was done, he packed up the stall and rented another quiet room. He couldn¡¯t wait to upgrade his hard disk. The moment he confirmed the upgrade, the 1,000 spirit stones in front of him disappeared in an instant. Cheng Xu only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his sea of consciousness began to expand rapidly. Even his spiritual power had improved a little. Chapter 3 Investigation (1) ¡°It¡¯s so much stronger after being upgraded by one level?¡± asked an ecstatic Cheng Xu was ecstatic. The original 256MB hard drive was instantly increased to 512MB, with an additional 256MB of storage space. In the short term, this storage space was definitely enough. The next step would be to consider upgrading the other configurations. After a few days of fumbling around, Cheng Xu had a general understanding of the functions of different hardware configurations. The first was the graphics card, which should correspond to the speed of reading external data, and thework card should correspond to the speed of downloading data into the immortal cultivationputer. However, Cheng Xu had yet to figure out the use of this sound card. Since the graphics card corresponded to the reading speed, upgrading the graphics card would be his priority. Just like the hard drive, the graphics card¡¯s first upgrade also required 1000 spiritual stones. He definitely did not have enough spiritual stones on hand. ¡°I¡¯ll make money by refining potions first, and then I¡¯ll upgrade all my configurations.¡± Cheng Xu secretly formted his next n. But before that, there was something more important, and that was to use the Qi-gathering elixir to raise his cultivation. The original owner of his body had been in the Yunzhong sect for more than two years, and his cultivation level had reached the middle stage of Qi cultivation for more than a year, which meant he was only one step away from thete stage of Qi cultivation. However, it wasn¡¯t that easy to cross this step. He took out a pack of Qi-gathering elixirs and poured them into his mouth. The bitter and fragrant medicinal powder quickly dissolved and turned into a hot medicinal power that surged into his limbs and bones. Under the stimtion of the medicine, his body was like a dry sponge, and he began to absorb the spiritual energy around him. ¡°Is the medicine so effective?¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He quickly circted the cloud art to refine the spiritual Qi in his body. Time passed by. In his sea of Qi, true Qi continued to gather. The effects of the Qi-gathering Elixir had a time limit. Cheng Xu took one packet after another, trying to break through the limit of the middle stage of Qi refining. Finally, after consuming the seventh packet of Qi-gathering elixir, the genuine Qi that had been stored in his sea of Qi for a long time finally broke through its limit. It circled around the center of the sea of Qi and formed a genuine Qi vortex,pressing all the genuine Qi to be purer. ¡°Is this the feeling of thete-stage of Qi refining?¡± Cheng Xu opened his eyes in joy and felt the changes in his body. He continued to practice the art of cloud for a few more cycles, and his Qi cultivation stage gradually stabilized. When he walked out of the quiet room to do the calction, he realized that two days had already passed. Looking at the bustling market, the corners of his mouth silently curled up into a smirk. To him, who had 256MB of hard disk space, every stall in the market was a treasure. Actions spoke louder than words, and he did as he said. Starting from the stall at the entrance of the market, one by one, he patronized the stalls, picking out some books that he was interested in reading and loading. The stall owners rolled their eyes at him for not buying anything. Unknowingly, the hard disk space had expanded from 250.3/512MB to 305/512MB. However, most of the data was about alchemy, equipment refining, talismans, formations, and general studies. There were a few books about cultivation methods and martial arts, but the quality was not very good. After a round, many of the misceneous books and records had repeated data. With the support of this data, Cheng Xu had sessfully transformed from a noob immortal cultivator to an experienced one who had a deeper understanding of all aspects of the immortal cultivation world. ¡°The form for the foundation establishment pill? Is that genuine?¡± Cheng Xu looked at a piece of torn leather paper on the stall. Although he had read the pill form, he was doubtful of its authenticity. The stall owner was a man at the peak of the Qi refining stage. He looked to be in his thirties, and there was a shrewd gaze in his eyes. ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you don¡¯t believe me, you don¡¯t have to ask.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s genuine?¡± Cheng Xu was skeptical. ¡°As far as I know, the form for the Foundation Building elixir is a top secret no matter which sect it is. How could it be peddled in a market?¡± ¡°There are many different forms for the Foundation Building elixir, and the ingredients and refining methods are also very different.¡± The shrewd man squinted and said with a smile, ¡°This ancient pill form has been in the market for decades. No one has been able to sessfully refine it. It¡¯s not because it¡¯s difficult to refine, but because no one has been able to gather all the materials required.¡± Cheng Xu was slightly stunned. He secretly opened the form of the Foundation Building elixir that he had just read. Good Lord, he wouldn¡¯t have known if he didn¡¯t look, but he was shocked when he saw it. The 17 medicinal herbs were all precious medicinal herbs without exception. Among them, three were rare medicinal herbs that were almost extinct in the cultivation world. No wonder no one had been able to sessfully refine it. Just those three rare medicinal materials were enough to make people chicken out. ¡°Eh? This is ¡­¡± Just as Cheng Xu was secretly thinking of backing out, he suddenly noticed an additional option called [ data optimization ] at the bottom of the pill form page. In a state of confusion, he opened the other forms to check, but there was no such option. Only the Foundation Building elixir¡¯s form had this option. ¡°The reason for the ancient pill form?¡± He selected [ data optimization ] out of curiosity, and a small pop-up window popped up in front of him: ¡°Do you wish to use the current refinement database to optimize the pill form? (Note: the current refining data is limited, so the optimization effect is limited.)¡± Cheng Xu was both surprised and happy. He didn¡¯t expect that the cultivationputer could optimize ancient pill forms. Wasn¡¯t this too powerful? If he could optimize those three rare medicinal ingredients, wouldn¡¯t he be able to refine the Foundation Building elixir? At this thought, Cheng Xu immediately confirmed it. beginning data optimization. Countdown in 3 days 17 hours 42 minutes 55 seconds. ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu immediately froze. Optimizing a pill form actually took nearly four days. He was simply speechless. It was like bringing a girl home with great difficulty, only to be told that she was on her period and it would only be gone in four days. Isn¡¯t that just frustrating? ¡°Eh ~ what are you thinking about, Fellow Daoist?¡± ¡°If you want this pill form, I can give you a discount,¡± the shrewd man said, puzzled. Cheng Xuughed dryly as he came back to his senses. He politely declined the offer and turned to leave. He had only taken a few steps when he heard a familiar voice behind him. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng?¡± He looked back in confusion and saw a familiar, handsome, and suave young man looking at him with a surprised expression. The young man was wearing the uniform of the Yunzhong sect¡¯s inner sect and had an inner sect waist token on his waist. In a daze, memories came back to her. His name was Yang Tianqi, and he joined the Yunzhong sect in the same batch as the original owner of his body. Unfortunately, they were in the same batch but had different fates. Yang Tianqi¡¯s bones were amazing, and his aptitude was outstanding. Soon, he was chosen by an inner sect elder and became an inner sect disciple. As for him, he stayed in the outer sect because of his mediocre talent. After a few years, Yang Tianqi¡¯s temperament had changed a lot. His cultivation level had reached the peak of the Qi refining stage and was about to reach the foundation building stage. ¡°I was wondering who it was. Turns out it¡¯s you, Fellow Daoist Yang.¡± Cheng Xu cupped his fists and replied. ¡°It¡¯s really you?¡± Yang Tianqi walked forward in surprise. Feeling Cheng Xu¡¯ste-stage Qi refining aura, he nodded to himself. ¡°Not bad, not bad. I didn¡¯t expect Junior Brother Cheng to be in thete stage of Qi refining.¡± ¡°I¡¯m no longer a disciple of the Yunzhong sect, so you don¡¯t have to call me Junior Brother.¡± Cheng Xu was not the original owner of the body. He did not have a good impression of the Yunzhong sect, nor did he feel any sense of belonging to it. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about what happened to you, Junior Brother,¡± Yang Tianqi said awkwardly. it¡¯s not good to stay in the Yunzhong sect after offending that girl. ¡°Speaking of which, who is that girl?¡± Cheng Xu was rather curious about this. ¡°She¡¯s the granddaughter of the inner sect¡¯s Elder Hu. She¡¯s used to being spoiled and overbearing.¡± Speaking of this woman, Yang Tianqi seemed to be a little afraid. ¡°If you don¡¯t leave the sect, you will be tortured to death by her sooner orter.¡± ¡°Elder Hu?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly shocked. He finally understood what had happened. Elder Hu was the only alchemist in the Yunzhong sect, and his status was second only to the sect master. No wonder he was expelled from the sect. It turned out that the girl was Elder Hu¡¯s granddaughter. ¡°Speaking of which, why are you at the market instead of cultivating in the sect?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s tone changed. Yang Tianqi shook his head helplessly and said, ¡°A few days ago, two outer sect disciples went missing near the Yuntai Mountain, and their soul jade slips were also broken. Several of us inner sect disciples were ordered toe and investigate.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu¡¯s heart beat wildly. However, Yang Tianqi did not seem to suspect him. ¡°Who is so bold to kill the disciples of the Yunzhong sect?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be surprised. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure yet, but from the condition of the corpse, the person should be at thete-stage of Qi refining, although they¡¯re only two outer sect disciples, ¡± Yang Tianqi said helplessly, ¡°We still have to do some investigations. Otherwise, the outside world will think that the members of Yunzhong sect are pushovers.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu silently shook his head. So the death of two outer sect disciples was not a big deal? Tsk, tsk. It was a good thing he had left the Yunzhong sect. Otherwise, no one would be able to avenge him even if he died. ¡°By the way, Junior Brother Cheng, have you been in the market of Yuntai Mountain these days? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Did you encounter the two outer sect disciples? Or did you notice anything unusual?¡± Cheng Xu put on an act and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation for the past few days, trying to reach thete-stage of Qi refining. I just came out of the quiet room over there today.¡± Yang Tianqi didn¡¯t ask any further and patted Cheng Xu¡¯s shoulder in encouragement. ¡°I still have to visit Perfected Yuntai on behalf of my master.¡± Yang Tianqi seemed to have thought of something. ¡°How about this, Junior Brother,e with me and get to know Perfected Yuntai. It¡¯ll be more convenient for you to stay in the market.¡± ¡°I appreciate your good intentions.¡± Cheng Xu declined Yang Tianqi¡¯s kind offer. He was going to visit Yuntai on behalf of his master, why would he, a guy without a sect, follow? What was that saying again? Don¡¯t try to force your way in if it¡¯s not your circle. However, Yang Tianqi was a good person. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Yang Tianqi did not insist and left. After watching Yang Tianqi walk away, Cheng Xu did what he had to do without any nervousness. On one hand, Yang Tianqi and his gang of inner sect disciples were just going through the procedures to show the outside world. It was fine if they could not find anything in the end. On the other hand, if he were to panic now, it would be more likely for him to give it away. After that, he continued to stroll around the stalls, collecting data and buying some alchemy materials. At night, he rented the familiar quiet room again, and the hard disk space was used up again. The only pity was that there were no cultivation methods or martial arts techniques that could attract his attention. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. How could really good things be disyed so casually? ¡®Let¡¯s make money first. We¡¯ll talk about it after we upgrade theputer¡¯s configuration.¡¯ After he finished speaking, he devoted himself to refining the medicine. Since the hard drive had been upgraded to a certain extent, Cheng Xu could now produce three batches of Qi-gathering elixir in one go before resting. But even so, it was still a time-consuming task. It was worth mentioning that after a day of data collection, the [potion refining] application had expanded to 23.8MB. At the same time, the [potion refining] application had also undergone some changes: [Alchemy] [Pharmacology Level: Level 2] [Refining ability: elementary] [Form: Qi-gathering elixir, Qi-exploding pill, mind-clearing pill, small reversion pill, Foundation-building Elixir] The Qi-gathering elixir that he had concocted was obviously of a much better quality than thest one, and hadpletely reached the standard of a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir. This way, the price could be raised a little more. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. This time, Cheng Xu had refined 62 packets of Qi-gathering elixirs in one go, ready to make a fortune. Chapter 4 The Yunzhong Sect Has Done a Lot of Harm Apart from that, he also refined some explosive Qi elixirs and small reversion elixirs in case of emergency. ¡°By the way, have you finished optimizing the Foundation Building Elixir¡¯s recipe?¡± At the thought of this, Cheng Xu hurriedly opened the recipe for the Foundation Building elixir. The results of the data optimization did not disappoint him. Originally, there were 17 precious materials, and five of them had been optimized intomon medicinal materials, but there was a certain age requirement. The main point was that two out of the three rare materials had been directly optimized. Even though the two optimized materials were precious, there was still a chance to obtain them. ¡°ck Water Ganoderma, Thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng?¡± With his current financial situation, it would not be realistic to spend money on these two materials. However, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry. After all, there was still a long way to go before he could reach the Foundation Building stage. Instead of struggling over how to get these two materials, he might as well find a way to collect more alchemy data and see if he could further optimize the Foundation Building elixir form. After leaving the quiet room, he found a ce to rent a stall. It was strange that ever since he bought the Qi-gathering elixir from him, the female fellow Daoist named Yue Wanling had not appeared again. In this man-eat-man world, the little girl was likely to have met with a mishap. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel a little emotional at the thought of this. He ced the sign with the words ¡°middle-grade Qi-gathering elixir¡± to the side, instantly attracting arge number of cultivators who came forward to ask for its price. The price of 80 spirit stones per pack caused many cultivators to hesitate. On the contrary, the remaining three packets that were sold for 70 spirit stonesst time sold faster. Only then did Cheng Xu realize that the cultivators in Yuntai Mountain¡¯s market had limited spending power. ¡°A middle-grade Qi-gathering elixir?¡± A luxuriously dressed bald young man came to the front of the stall in surprise. ¡°Fellow Daoist, did you refined them yourself? ¡± ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Cheng Xu asked in return. ¡°No, I just didn¡¯t expect such an excellent alchemist to be hiding in this small market.¡± The bald young man opened a pack of Qi-gathering elixirs and studied them for a while. He looked at Cheng Xu with even more surprise. ¡°Wow, this color is really amazing!¡± Cheng Xu sized him up with a look of bewilderment. Based on what he said, it was obvious that he was a fellow peer. ¡°May I ask which great itinerant immortal is your master, Fellow Daoist?¡± The bald youth suddenly asked. ¡°I¡¯m just an itinerant cultivator without any master. Are you buying or not, Fellow Daoist?¡± Cheng Xu asked impatiently. ¡°You don¡¯t have a master? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re self-taught?¡± the bald youth was shocked. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± The bald young man gasped in shock. ¡°To be able to learn alchemy by yourself to this extent, you must be quite talented in the Dao of alchemy. Would you be interested in joining the Medicine Immortal Valley?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re from the Medicine Immortal Valley, Fellow Daoist!¡± Cheng Xu was secretly surprised. The Medicine Immortal Valley was also considered a famous sect in mini South Heaven. It was notrge in scale and produced many alchemists. Although its overall strength was not great, its status in mini South Heaven was only second to the Yunzhong sect and a few other major sects. ¡°So, do you want to consider it? With your talent, it would be a pity if you didn¡¯te to the Medicine Immortal Valley,¡± the bald youth continued to try to win him over. As a pretty boy who had just been expelled from the sect, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t really want to join a sect. However, with the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s foundation, there must be a lot of precious alchemy books and records. He could really use some data right now. ¡°I can consider it, but I have to make it clear that I was originally a disciple of the Yunzhong sect. I was expelled from the sect because of some matters. Do you dare to take me in?¡± Cheng Xu said hesitantly. ¡°Yunzhong sect?¡± The bald young man was obviously stunned. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you Senior Hu¡¯s brilliant disciple?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The corners of Cheng Xu¡¯s mouth twitched. I was only an outer sect disciple before. ¡°Outer sect disciple? Such an excellent alchemist seedling was actually thrown out into the outer sect. No wonder the Yunzhong sect¡¯s alchemy level has been unable to develop.¡± The bald young man continued, ¡°However, the Medicine Immortal Valley has always been on good terms with the Yunzhong sect. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate to take in a disciple who has been expelled from the Yunzhong sect.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu could not help but feel embarrassed. Damn it, this Yunzhong sect had done him a lot of harm! Even the Medicine Immortal Valley couldn¡¯t take him in, let alone the other sects. In other words, unless he left mini Southern Heaven and went somewhere else, he would forever be an itinerant cultivator. The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the angrier he became, and his hatred for the Yunzhong sect was directly raised to the max. ¡°By the way, what crime have youmitted?¡± The bald youth was not stupid. Being expelled from the sect was definitely not a small matter. ¡°I identally saw Elder Hu¡¯s granddaughter taking a bath.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The bald youth¡¯s expression was strange, and his eyes widened. ¡°Just because of this small matter, you got expelled from the sect? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Oh right ~ you were only an outer sect disciple.¡± Cheng Xu was silent. ¡°Alright, I understand the situation.¡± The bald young man pondered for a moment and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll find an opportunity to talk to my master and see if he can ept you into the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± With that, he bought a pack of mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir and left in a hurry. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu stood in front of the stall, exuding resentment towards the Yunzhong sect. It just so happened that at this moment, a female disciple of the Yunzhong sect, who was at thete stage of the Qi refinement realm, walked over. The woman had a gentle temperament, and her ck hair was loosely tied behind her back. Holding her tulle dress up with her hand, she bent down slightly, and picked up a pack of mid-quality Qi-gathering elixirs from the stall. Her tone was timid. ¡°May I ask¡­ How many spirit stones does a pack of these cost?¡± ¡°A hundred spirit stones!¡± Cheng Xu would get angry whenever he saw the disciples of the Yunzhong sect, and the female disciples were no exception. Moreover, he didn¡¯t know this female inner sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect, so he guessed that she was probably the child of one of the elders. The young girl¡¯s brows slightly furrowed as she hesitantly asked, ¡°Fellow Daoist, how many do you have?¡± ¡°There¡¯s still about 30 packs left.¡± ¡°Then give me 30 packs.¡± The young girl didn¡¯t even think about it. She was obviously rich. While Cheng Xu was dumbfounded, his expression immediately changed. He had no choice. He couldn¡¯t turn down spirit stones! ¡°By the way, why do you want so many Qi-gathering elixirs?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt. ¡°And fairy, you are an inner sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect. You shouldn¡¯t need an ordinary medicine like the Qi-gathering elixir, right?¡± The young girl smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve been raising a cute rabbit recently. I¡¯m getting some Qi-gathering elixirs as a snack for it.¡± With that, she flicked her sleeve and took out a pile of neatly arranged spirit stones from her storage bag. There were a total of 3000 of them. ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. She bought so many middle-grade Qi-gathering elixirs just for her pet. Sure enough, no matter which world it was, the difference between the rich and the poor was the same. After he recovered from his stiffness, he handed over 30 packs of Qi-gathering elixirs. ¡°Please keep it well, Fairy.¡± At this moment, a cold female voice came from the crowd not far away. ¡°Ci¡¯er, don¡¯t be yful. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The young girl replied and then obediently ran to the beautiful woman with a cold temperament. Cheng Xu had been in the Yunzhong sect for more than two years, so he could tell the identity of the beautiful woman at a nce from the way she was dressed. It was because the robe was unique to the inner sect elders, and given the pattern of it, he reckoned that she was probably not an ordinary elder. ¡°Strange, why are there so many sect disciples today?¡± After watching the master and disciple walk away, Cheng Xu finally came back to his senses. He carefully observed the passing crowd and found many disciples from various major sects, most of whom were wearing the waist token of an inner sect disciple. In his confusion, he asked the stall owner next to him, ¡°May I ask what important asion is it today, Senior? Why are there suddenly so many disciples from major sects in the market?¡± ¡°Eh, my young friend, you don¡¯t know?¡± The stall owner next to him was an old man at the peak of the Qi refining stage, ¡°Today is Daoist Master Yuntai¡¯s annual Yuntai Mountain Trading Convention. At this time every year, many experts wille over to this convention.¡± ¡°I see.¡± In his memory, there seemed to be such a trading convention, but it had nothing to do with low-level cultivators like them. The so-called trading convention should be a trade fair for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage. It was only held once a year, so it was probably a prominent event. If he could participate in it, wouldn¡¯t he be able to obtain higher level cultivation techniques and data? At the thought of this, Cheng Xu¡¯s breathing quickened. ¡°May I ask how I can participate in this trading convention?¡± ¡°Just spend a hundred spirit stones to enter.¡± The old manughed casually. ¡°But the items in the venue are not things that ordinary people can afford. Their prices are easily in the range of thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones. If you are just curious, you can spend a hundred spirit stones to go in for an eyeopener to broaden your horizons.¡± ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Senior.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately closed his stall and rushed in the direction of the venue. He had thought that it would be difficult to enter such a high-end event, but it only cost a hundred spirit stones to enter. It was a little expensive, but to Cheng Xu, he could easily make up for it by reading a martial arts manual or something. ¡°By the way, upgrade your graphics card first to speed up the reading speed so as not to arouse the suspicion of the big bosses.¡± As he spoke, he found a corner with no one around and spent 1,000 spiritual stones to upgrade his graphics card to Level 2. The moment the upgrade was sessful, his mind went into a daze. When he woke up, the world in front of him seemed to have be several times clearer. He could even see the specks of dust floating in the air clearly. Clearly, upgrading the graphics card could not only improve the reading speed, but also improve one¡¯s visual sense. ¡°I still have 4,300 spirit stones left. Should I upgrade the other configurations?¡± He had sold 45 bags of mid-grade Qi-gathering elixirs in one go. In addition to the three bags of Qi-gathering elixirs he had left, he had earned a total of 5,130 spiritual stones, which was just enough to upgrade all his remaining hardware. After a moment¡¯s hesitation, Cheng Xu decisively chose to upgrade the configuration. After all, he was only here for a free experience so there was no way he would spend any money. Therefore, he spent 3,000 spirit stones to upgrade his CPU, internal storage, andwork card. Only the sound card had not been upgraded. Firstly, he didn¡¯t know what the sound card was for, and secondly, he still had to save some spirit stones for the next time he refined pills. At the same time that the three major hardware upgrades were sessful, Cheng Xu had also undergone groundbreaking changes. How should he describe it? It was as if his feet had left the ground, and his intelligence had upied the high ground again. It was to the extent that his perception of the world had undergone some kind of inexplicable change, and he exuded a smooth vibe from the inside out. Cultivation Computer: [ Motherboard: Cheng Xu ter stage of Qi refining stage) ] [ CPU: spiritual sense (single core 1.6GHz) ] [ Memory: perception (256MB) ] [Hard drive: sea of consciousness (512MB) ] [ Graphics card: integrated 2.0 (1024MB) ] [ Sound Card: Integrated 1.0 ] [ Network card: integrated 2.0 (20Mbps) ] ¡­ ¡°The big shots of the trade fair, are you prepared to let me take advantage for nothing?¡± The corners of Cheng Xu¡¯s mouth curled up into an evil smile as he followed the sect disciples in the crowd to the venue that was isted by an array formation. At the entrance of the formation, two Foundation Building realm cultivators were collecting money so hard that their hands were about to cramp up. Cheng Xu stepped forward and handed over a hundred spirit stones before sessfully entering the venue. As far as the eye could see, there was an upscale air of nobility everywhere. Chapter 5 The Trade Fair (1) This wasn¡¯t a convention at all. It was clearly an immortal manor that upied arge area. In the middle of the manor was a strange-looking tower, with spiritual lights shing. The stalls scattered all over the manor were also unique. The stall owners were basically all at the Foundation Establishment stage. asionally, there were a few stall owners at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and they all had extraordinary backgrounds. Cheng Xu shuttled back and forth among the crowd, his eyes sizing up the stalls. As he had expected, the goods in the high-end bureau were indeed extraordinary. He tried to walk to a stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged man in the foundation building stage. When he saw that Cheng Xu was only in thete-stage of Qi Refining and what he was wearing, he immediately lost interest. you can take a look, but don¡¯t touch anything. ¡°Junior understands.¡± Cheng Xu nodded nervously, but he was secretly happy. Seeing that Cheng Xu was tactful, the stall owner didn¡¯t say anything more and silently closed his eyes to rest. After the graphics card was upgraded to Level 2, the reading speed had doubled from 1MB per second to 2MB per second. In the blink of an eye, he had finished reading the two ancient scrolls on formations and the ancient scroll on alchemy. It was worth mentioning that the data size of the ancient alchemy scroll was asrge as 7.4MB. Although some of the data in it ovepped with the previous data, after the instation, the [ alchemy ] application was increased by 5.1MB. Looking at the level of the [ medicine refining ] program, his pharmacology level had been directly raised to Level 3, and his refining ability had been raised from basic to intermediate. His understanding of medicinal theory had also increased by a level. ¡°Is this the value of a high-end alchemy manual?¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly amazed, his eyes wandered to the other goods. All kinds of high-quality talismans and magic weapons made him drool. Unfortunately, he was short on money and definitely couldn¡¯t afford it. After looking at life and sighing, he silently walked to another stall. This stall owner had a more irascible temper. As soon as he saw that Cheng Xu was not the target customer, he immediately drove Cheng Xu far away. Helplessly, he could only head to the other stalls. ¡°Eh? Earth escape technique!¡± A tattered old scroll at a stall in the corner attracted Cheng Xu¡¯s attention. Coincidentally, there were a few cultivators choosing other goods in front of the stall, so Cheng Xu went up and joined in the fun. After a few seconds of reading, Cheng Xu took a deep breath. Good Lord, an escape technique was actually 22.4 MB in size. It was obviously not simple. After confirming the download, he installed it. The speed of instation made Cheng Xu¡¯s scalp tingle. The customers had already left, but the earth escape technique had not been installed sessfully. Fortunately, the data had already been loaded into the cultivationputer, so there was no need to wait in front of the stall for the instation process. After turning the corner, there were a few brand new stalls in front of them. Before Cheng Xu could start looking for Bai Ling¡¯s target, he heard a familiar voiceing from the side. When he looked over, he saw that it was the bald young man from the Medicine Immortal Valley. At this moment, the bald youth was haggling with the stall next door. He seemed to have taken a fancy to a few medicinal herbs on the stall. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re here too?¡± Cheng Xu stepped forward and greeted him. ¡°Yo ~ fellow Daoist has alsoe to the trade fair?¡± The bald youth said in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m here to see the world,¡±?Cheng Xu gave a simple perfunctory reply, then pretended to browse the goods on disy. The bald youth continued to haggle with the stall owner. ¡°The theoretical outline of martial arts and spell techniques?¡± An ancient book in the corner caught Cheng Xu¡¯s attention. The loading and loading process waspleted in one go. Just as he was about to install it, a [awaiting Instation] prompt popped up. Damn ~ the [earth escape technique] just now had not been installed yet. At the same time, the bald young man had also sessfully obtained the medicinal herbs. He chatted with Cheng Xu with satisfaction, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see blood marrow grass and a type 3 ck water snake¡¯s galldder at the trade fair. This trip was worth it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good item, but unfortunately, I can only watch from the side.¡± Cheng Xu sighed. He was not trying to get close to the bald young man, but walking with the bald young man would greatly reduce the probability of being driven away by the stall owner. ¡°With fellow Daoist¡¯s talent in alchemy, you won¡¯t have to worry about not having spirit stone flowers in the future.¡± The bald young manughed. by the way, I¡¯m Miao Changsheng. May I know your name? ¡± ¡°Cheng Xu.¡± brother Cheng, ¡± Miao Changsheng cupped his fists and said, ¡± ¡°My master is still participating in the gathering of golden cores in the tower. I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to wait a little longer to help you ask about him.¡± ¡°No rush,¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. While they were chatting, the earth escape technique was finally installed, and the theoretical outline of martial arts techniques was also installed. The moment the instation began, Cheng Xu felt his brain go nk and entered a state of headache and fever. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s wrong with you, Brother Cheng? Are you ufortable?¡± Obviously, Miao Changsheng had noticed Cheng Xu¡¯s unusual behavior. ¡°Nothing,¡± Cheng Xu said awkwardly, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because refining medicinest night was too exhausting. My head feels a little unwell.¡± Miao Changsheng, who was also an alchemist, expressed his understanding. Refining medicine is extremely taxing on the mind. It¡¯s better to take it slowly. Cheng Xuughed dryly and nodded. He continued to follow Miao Changsheng around listlessly. Ding! Ding! ¡°Martial arts spell data detected. Integrate martial arts application? ¡± A new option popped up halfway through the instation progress bar. The dizzy Cheng Xu didn¡¯t even think and directly chose to confirm. A momentter, the instation waspleted. An applicationbeled [ martial arts ] appeared on the cultivationputer¡¯s desktop. He clicked on it to check: [ martial arts skill (35.3) ] [ martial arts theory: elementary ] [ spell theory: elementary ] [ martial arts skills installed: Tiger subduing fist (7MB), setting sun finger (3.5MB), cloud steps (6MB), earth escape technique (22.4), protective energy (4.8MB) ] At the same time that his headache and fever disappeared, Cheng Xu¡¯s entire body jolted. His own martial arts technique had actually been integrated into something like a system with pre-installed applications. In other words, with the expansion of the data of [ martial arts spells ], he might be able to optimize his own martial arts spells in the future? ¡°Ya ya ya¡­ Quick, take a look at this!¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s surprised voice pulled Cheng Xu back to reality. There was a strange nt that was constantly squirming on the stall in front of him, emitting a faint ck gas around it. With Cheng Xu¡¯s current alchemy level, he could easily identify this herb. [ Magic Cordyceps ] [ Rarity: low ] [ Year: 175 ] It was no wonder that Miao Changsheng had such a big reaction. The Magic Cordyceps was rare. Although it was often used in various poisons, it could also be used as a drug primer for many high-level elixirs after the dosage was lowered. It could greatly enhance the efficacy of the elixir. However, Miao Changsheng was not the only one who was interested in the Magic Cordyceps. There were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators. Miao Changsheng had a medallion hanging from his waist. Naturally, he was not afraid of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators. He showed them what a true tycoon of the medicine immortal Valley was. While Cheng Xu was secretly envious, his gaze was attracted by a bronze fragment on the stall. At first nce, it looked like a fragment of some kind of magic treasure. However, in Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes, the option [ read data ] shed. ¡®Could it be that there is some kind of awesome cultivation technique hidden in this fragment?¡¯ Cheng Xu was secretly overjoyed and hurriedly began to read. It took him more than ten seconds to sessfully read it. The result was just as he had expected. It was an ancient Immortal Technique called the Evil Eye of 10,000 Spells. Yes, you didn¡¯t see it wrong, it¡¯s a real Immortal Technique! However, it was severely damaged. Even the firstyer of the technique was iplete. But even so, it was enough to make Cheng Xu excited. After a dozen seconds of loading, he tried to confirm the instation. He did not expect it to really work, but the instation speed was frighteningly slow, and once again, Cheng Xu fell into a state of headache and fever. Of course, when Miao Changsheng spent a lot of money to get the Magic Cordyceps, Cheng Xu was still immersed in the excitement of obtaining the immortal Technique. haha, I only spent three thousand spiritual stones and sessfully got this Magic Cordyceps. If master finds out, won¡¯t he praise me?¡± Miao Changsheng was secretly pleased. Cheng Xu, however, was stunned. ¡°How much did you spend?¡± ¡°3,000 spirit stones! What¡¯s wrong? ¡± ¡°Given the color of this Magic Cordyceps, it shouldn¡¯t be worth this price, right?¡± Cheng Xu had a strange expression on his face. He had been so excited that he hadpletely ignored Miao Changsheng¡¯s bid. the mid-grade Magic Cordyceps is almost two hundred years old. It should be worth at least three thousand spiritual stones, right? ¡± Miao Changsheng expressed his doubts. ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s not a low-grade one?¡± Cheng Xu asked weakly. brother Cheng, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re mistaken, ¡± Miao Changsheng exined to Cheng Xu confidently.¡±The more active the magic Magic Cordyceps is, the higher the quality. How can low grade magic Magic Cordyceps be so active? And the demonic Qi in the surroundings has clearly reached the middle grade.¡± Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything. ¡°Although brother Cheng¡¯s talent in alchemy is not bad, there is still room for improvement in your basic knowledge!¡± Miao Changsheng said as he patted Cheng Xu¡¯s shoulder in encouragement. ¡°Good-for-nothing!¡± Before Miao Changsheng could show off for more than three seconds, his head was smacked hard from behind. The person who came was an old man with white hair and a beard. He was slightly plump, had kind eyes, and a ruddy face. ¡°Master?¡± Miao Changsheng was shocked at first. Then, he said in an aggrieved tone, ¡°Why did you hit me?¡± ¡°Hmph! Low-grade Magic Cordyceps can be regarded as mid-grade,¡± the old man said grumpily. ¡°Why do you think I hit you?¡± ¡°Low-grade?¡± Miao Changsheng looked at the Magic Cordyceps in his hand and began to doubt himself. The old man looked at Cheng Xu with interest. little friend, you have good eyes. May I know which fellow Daoist is your master? ¡± ¡°Senior, I have no master.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The old man¡¯s eyes lit up. Miao Changsheng was still doubting his life. ¡°It¡¯s really low-grade? That¡¯s impossible¡­¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve seen through the mystery, why don¡¯t you exin it to my good-for-nothing disciple?¡± Cheng Xu smiled humbly and exined, ¡°The reason why this Magic Cordyceps is so active is probably because it just ate and is in its best condition.¡± ¡°Not bad, not bad. You¡¯re much better than that idiot, Changsheng.¡± The old man nodded in appreciation. After listening to Cheng Xu¡¯s exnation, Miao Changsheng finally came to his senses. He looked at Cheng Xu in shock. ¡°Brother Cheng, how did you know?¡± ¡°The wriggling of the magic Magic Cordyceps after it is full is slightly different from its normal state.¡± Miao Changsheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said angrily, ¡°Meow, I¡¯ll go find that person and reason with him!¡± ¡°Enough, don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve embarrassed yourself enough?¡± the old man stopped him in a bad mood. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed you again,¡± Miao Changsheng said helplessly. ¡°How many times have I told you to be more careful? more careful? you just won¡¯t listen.¡± The old man sighed to himself, then turned to Cheng Xu with a smile. ¡°However, this little friend of yours is not bad.¡± ¡°Oh right, this disciple was just about to tell you.¡± Miao Changsheng exined Cheng Xu¡¯s situation to him. The old man was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought with a strange expression. ¡°Brother Cheng, this is my master, Perfected Chi Yao, the second-inmand of the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± Miao Changsheng said proudly. ¡°Junior Cheng Xu greets Perfected Chi Yao.¡± Cheng Xu hurriedly paid his respects again. He did not expect Miao Changsheng to be Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s disciple. He had only heard of Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s?name before, but had never seen him in person. Chapter 6 The Demonic Dao Invasion It was said that Perfected Chi Yao was the most powerful alchemist in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Dan Yang was only famous, but his alchemy skills were average. Of course, as an outsider, Cheng Xu did not know the exact situation. ¡°I¡¯ve met Hu Jiaojiao a few times. Whether it¡¯s her talent in cultivation or alchemy, she¡¯s above immortality.¡± Perfected Chi Yao pondered and said, ¡°Based on my understanding of that girl, I¡¯m afraid she was jealous of little friend¡¯s ability to refine medicine and deliberately set a trap to expel you from the sect.¡± Cheng Xu wanted tough, but he couldn¡¯t. He didn¡¯t expect that Perfected Chi Yao could actually imagine such a plot. The key was that he was only an ordinary outer sect disciple back in the Yunzhong sect. How could he possibly attract Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s jealousy? But then again, so that girl¡¯s name was Hu Jiaojiao? ¡°How is it, Master? is it convenient to take brother Cheng to our Medicine Immortal Valley?¡± Miao Changsheng asked. ¡°If that¡¯s the truth, then there¡¯s no problem.¡± Perfected Chi Yao gave Cheng Xu a meaningful look. ¡°It just so happens that a few fellow Daoists from the Yunzhong sect are also at this trade fair. It won¡¯t be toote to talk about taking them in after I have confirmed their identities.¡± Cheng Xu could understand Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s suspicions. And he wasn¡¯t afraid of being investigated. ¡°I will stay in Yuntai Mountain for a few more days. If little friend is interested in joining my Medicine Immortal Valley, I will give you an answer before I leave.¡± Perfected Chi Yao solemnly promised. Then, he left with Miao Changsheng. Cheng Xu continued to walk around the trade fair but did not find any valuable data. Moreover, the high temperature of the CPU caused by the instation of the immortal technique made him very ufortable. Aftering out of the trade convention¡¯s array formation, he looked at the ground under his feet and tried to use the [ Earth Escape Technique ] that he had just learned. One-third of the true Qi in his body was directly drawn out. His entire body also disappeared into the ground in an earth-yellow light. When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of Yuntai Mountain. ¡°This way, it¡¯ll be much more convenient for me to travel in the future.¡± Cheng Xu was very satisfied with the effect of the Earth Escape Technique. Just as he was about to use the earth burrow technique to return to the market on the mountaintop, a few ck shadows that faintly flitted across the distant mountain forest caught his attention. In the past, Cheng Xu would not have noticed such a subtle movement. However, after his graphics card was upgraded to Level 2, his visual perception was greatly enhanced. ¡°Who¡¯s sneaking around?¡± Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t stupid. The other party clearly wasn¡¯t here to participate in the trade fair. With his current visual perception ability, he could observe the other party¡¯s movements from a long distance. Unless the other party was a Foundation establishment realm big shot, they would not be able to detect him at all. He used cloud steps and subtly followed. After a while, the ck figures stopped. ¡°As expected, he¡¯s from the demonic Dao?¡± Judging from their clothes and gloomy temperament, they were obviously not cultivators of the orthodox Dao. ¡°Strange, what are a group of Qi Condensation realm cultivators doing here at Yuntai Mountain?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly puzzled. ¡°Could it be that they found something good on the Yuntai Mountain?¡± There were threete-stage Qi Refinement cultivators and one peak-stage Qi Refinement cultivator. He definitely couldn¡¯t win in a head-on fight, but why would he have to fight head-on? He could wait for this group of people to fight with the orthodox cultivators and take advantage of the situation. At this thought, Cheng Xu was looking forward to it. However, the next second, the scene in front of him stunned him. Dozens of demonic Dao cultivators gathered from different directions, with a few foundation establishment cultivators among them. They directly killed Cheng Xu¡¯s little scheme in the cradle. ¡°Damn, they must be nning to besiege Yuntai Mountain!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. There are so many Golden Core realm cultivators on the mountain. Won¡¯t they be courting death by going up?¡± Suddenly, Cheng Xu thought of a terrifying conjecture. If he guessed correctly, this group of demonic cultivators in front of him was probably just the tip of the iceberg. At this moment, the surrounding of Yuntai Mountain was probably already surrounded by demonic cultivators. ¡°Psst~ fortunately, I managed to escape to the bottom of the mountain.¡±?Cheng Xu was secretly afraid. Although he didn¡¯t know what the demonic cultivators were up to, Cheng Xu continued to observe them in secret out of curiosity. If there was really something wrong, he could just escape through the earth. The most important thing was that if the two sides were in a desperate situation, it could take advantage of the situation and pick up the corpses. Thinking about it, he had a little anticipation. Ding! Ding! ¡°Instation sessful. Integrated graphics card 2.0 upgraded to independent graphics card: Evil Eye of 10,000 technique, 0.85.¡± The sudden system notification made Cheng Xu overjoyed. Before he could react, his field of vision under the night suddenly became as bright as day, and everything in his field of vision became clear. At the same time, Cheng Xu¡¯s pupils began to expand rapidly until theypletely upied the whites of his eyes, and finally formed a pair of deep and evil ck vortexes in his eye sockets. The Evil Eye of 10,000 Technique seemed to enable him to see through illusions and alsounch a powerful mental attack on the enemy. This was only the effect of the iplete technique. Theplete Evil Eye of 10,000 would only be more terrifying. Unfortunately, the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique consumed a lot of spiritual power, and in just a few moments, more than half of his spiritual power had been consumed. After the CPU upgrade, Cheng Xu¡¯s spiritual power had received a huge boost. It was almost twice as strong as before. It was obvious how much mental power the evil eye consumed. He quickly stopped using the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique and his eyes returned to normal. ¡°Tsk tsk, the feeling is really different after putting on the unique disy!¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly excited, he opened the [ Alchemy ] application and further optimized the recipe of the Foundation Building elixir. ¡°Beginning data optimization. Countdown in 2 days, 3 hours, 29 minutes, and 58 seconds.¡± It turned out that even the optimization speed was much faster than before after the upgrade. He looked at the hard disk space to see: 404.9MB/512MB He had thought that he would be able to use it for a long time after upgrading it to 512MB. He did not expect to use up so much in just a few days. It seemed that he would have to prioritize upgrading the hard disk space in the future. However, the second upgrade would cost 10000 spirit stones. ¡°Let¡¯s see how many benefits we can get from this.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the demonic cultivators in front of him. The night gradually deepened, and the Yuntai Mountain was brightly lit. Finally, a strange roar resounded through the night sky. Cheng Xu was so scared that he quivered. He saw that on the top of Yuntai Mountain, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and arge amount of ck gas began to gather at the top of the mountain. Under the angry voices of the Golden Core realm experts from all sides, it formed arge array. At the same time, the group of demonic cultivators in front seemed to have heard the bugle call and rushed to the top of the mountain while howling. In the sky, a few ck shadows let out bursts of wildughter. They were the Golden Core realm stage big shots of the demonic path. This series of changes happened in just a few breaths of time, and the cultivators on the Yuntai Mountain simply had no time to react and were locked in the strange array. ¡°What the hell!¡± Cheng Xu stood rooted to the ground weakly, secretly rejoicing that he was not inside and silently watched the fire. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The sound of an intense battle soon reverberated in the air. The magic light in the formation on the mountain top glowed. ¡°Which demon dares to behave atrociously in my Yuntai Mountain!¡± An angry shout resounded through the sky. Without thinking, one would know that it was the master of Yuntai Mountain, Daoist Master Yuntai. ¡°Hahaha, old man Yuntai, did you ever think that this day woulde?¡± A ck shadow in the skyughed out loud, as if he had some grudge with Yuntai. But this was not what Cheng Xu was concerned about. ¡°Perfected Chi Yao and Miao Changsheng are still inside!¡± Even though he might not be able to join the Medicine Immortal Valley, he still wanted to build a good rtionship with the two of them and get some high-end alchemy knowledge. If Perfected Chi Yao and his disciple were to die, the shortcut to obtaining alchemy knowledge would be broken. ¡°Brother Miao, Senior Chi Yao, you guys have to hold on!¡± Although he was worried, he could do nothing in the face of a battle of this level. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The battlested from night to dawn. Cheng Xu hid in his spot obediently, trembling in fear. It was only when the ck formation on the mountaintop was broken through by a terrifying golden light that Cheng Xu was instantly overjoyed. At the same time, with the destruction of the great demonic array, all the cultivators on Yuntai Mountain also began tounch the counterattack. The chaotic fighting sound gradually spread from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Very quickly, a few itinerant cultivators fled towards him, each and every one of them in a sorry state. Cheng Xu took the opportunity to make his way up the mountain. While looting the corpses, he paid attention to the figures of Perfected Chi Yao and his disciple. However, he wasn¡¯t the only one who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Many cultivators who had escaped would take away the corpses after seeing them, leaving only a few for Cheng Xu. But even so, it had allowed Cheng Xu to make a fortune. Especially the corpse of an early stage foundation building cultivator, it was simply fat. ¡°Senior Chi Yao, Brother Miao, you must hold on!¡± Cheng Xu carefully walked through the forest. ¡°Even if you¡¯re going to die, you have to die in front of me and leave your inheritance to me!¡± The next second, he felt a chill behind his back. Cheng Xu activated his Protective Dipper energy in shock, turned around, and threw out a Setting Sun Finger. A demonic cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage sneered as he blocked the Setting Sun finger. He had clearly seen Cheng Xu, who was at thete Qi Refinement stage, as his prey. ¡°Die-!¡± The demonic cultivator didn¡¯t waste any words. His palm, surrounded by blood Qi, was aimed at Cheng Xu¡¯s face. However, what weed him was a pair of terrifying eyes that were twisted into ck holes. Before the pitiful demonic cultivator could react to what was happening, his sea of consciousness was thrown into chaos by a terrifying spiritual attack. He screamed and fell to the ground, his body twitching. As Cheng Xu retracted his ten thousand evil eyes, he stepped forward with cloud steps and broke the demonic cultivator¡¯s neck with a stomp. He quickly plundered all the valuables on the demonic cultivator and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a low voice from not far away. ¡°Fairy, don¡¯t run! Isn¡¯t it great to stay and have fun with me? ¡± Cheng Xu shook his head as he listened. He didn¡¯t intend to be a busybody, but if he had the time, wouldn¡¯t it be better to pick up a few more corpses? But that fairy seemed to have noticed him as well. In the next second, a familiar but slightly embarrassed figure flew toward him. The light and color under her feet seemed to be some kind of profound movement technique, but also like some kind of powerful magic treasure. ¡°Fellow Daoist, run! The thief behind us is extremely strong!¡± The familiar-looking girl warned as she ran. Cheng Xu was dumbfounded as he watched the girl pass by him, and the corners of his mouth twitched. ¡®Damn it, you¡¯re clearly the one who lured the enemy here, alright?¡¯ The demonic cultivator quickly caught up from behind. It was a young man in the Foundation Establishment realm. Given his luxurious clothes and the magic treasures on his body, it was likely that he had a high status among the demonic Dao cultivators. Chapter 7 The Little Rich Lady (1) Cheng Xu subconsciously wanted to escape. However, the Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator clearly didn¡¯t give him the chance to escape. ¡°Hehe, you still want to run after seeing me?¡± The self-proimed demon prince obviously didn¡¯t take Cheng Xu seriously. He wanted to continue chasing after the young beauty after taking care of Cheng Xu. With a wave of his hand, blood Qi gushed out of his palm. ¡°?!¡± Cheng Xu only felt the blood in his body flowing backward, about to burst out of his body, and he could not use any skills at all. At the critical moment, a beam of green light broke through the air, interrupting the demonic cultivator and forcing him back a few meters. The young girl who had already run some distance away actually turned back, holding a white flower sword in her hand, and confronted the demonic cultivator. ¡°Run, I can only hold him back for a while!¡± Cheng Xu stood rooted to the ground in a daze. He didn¡¯t expect this girl to return. Have you found your conscience? Moreover, from the surge of true Qi fluctuations in her body, it was obvious that she had used the explosive Qi elixir to raise her cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage. The youngdy was none other than the rich girl who had bought 30 portions of Qi-gathering elixirs from Cheng Xu. ¡°Interesting.¡± The demonic cultivator looked at the little rich woman with interest, then at Cheng Xu beside her. His expression became even more perverted. ¡°I like to ravage the righteous little fairies in front of their partners!¡± ¡°Demonic man, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± The rich girl was embarrassed and angry. She pointed the white sword in her hand, and a cold sword Qi shot out. ng! The demonic cultivator casually took out a blood-colored bronze bell and easily blocked the rich girl¡¯s sword Qi. ¡°It seems that the fairy is very concerned about her lover~. In this case, it will be more exciting to y with himter.¡± As he spoke, his blood Qi surged around him, turning into blood-colored ghosts that pounced at the rich girl. The rich girl frowned, and the jade bracelet on her wrist emitted a dazzling green light, which formed a green light shield around her, easily blocking the crimson evil fiend¡¯s bite. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left, Fellow Daoist?¡± The rich girl looked anxious. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t say anything. He silently took an explosive Qi elixir. The medicinal effect exploded in his body, and his cultivation instantly soared to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage. ¡°What a joke. You two don¡¯t think that you can do anything to me just because you¡¯ve forcefully raised your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, do you? ¡± The demonic cultivator sneered and grabbed Cheng Xu and the other man with both hands, releasing the strange blood Qi again. The rich girl was fine because of the protection of the jade bracelet. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t possibly fall to the same spot twice, so he immediately activated his Evil Eye of 10,000 technique. ¡°What?¡± Looking at Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes that were as deep as ck holes, the demonic cultivator fell into a daze in shock, and the blood Qi in his hand dissipated. On the other side, the rich girl saw that the demonic man had suddenly stopped moving. While she was surprised, she quickly held her sword in front of her chest and shot it towards the demonic cultivator¡¯s heart. Unfortunately, even though the demonic cultivator was in a daze, the blood bronze bell that surrounded him automatically blocked the rich girl¡¯s fatal blow. The rich girl retracted her sword from a distance, knowing that she was no match for him. seize the opportunity and run! However, just as she was signaling for Cheng Xu to run with her, she realized that Cheng Xu had already charged forward with his agile body technique. ¡°You ¡­!¡± The rich girl really couldn¡¯t understand why Cheng Xu was still entangled with that demonic cultivator. BOOM! In the next second, Cheng Xu was forced back by the blood Qi that exploded from the bronze bell. ¡°Good stuff!¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t back down. Instead, he drooled. ¡°Fairy, if we work together, we¡¯ll definitely be able to get rid of this demon!¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± The rich girl was skeptical. Cheng Xu did not exin. At that moment, the demonic cultivator managed to wake up from the effects of the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique. He looked at Cheng Xu with a serious yet excited expression. ¡°What a powerful eye technique! I¡¯m determined to have it, kid!¡± As he spoke, he stepped forward to take Cheng Xu down. The demonic cultivator was indeed an early-stage Foundation Building cultivator. With the blood Qi released by his demonic technique and the powerful bronze bell, he was not at a disadvantage even when he was surrounded by two people. In the process of fighting, Cheng Xu was surprised to find that after installing the theoretical outline of martial arts spells, his martial arts spells had also been strengthened to varying degrees. Every skill was so easy to use, and he felt like he had a new understanding of every skill. ¡°Interesting. He¡¯s actually able to train a bunch of low-end moves to this level? ¡± The demonic cultivator was secretly surprised. After all, in his eyes, Cheng Xu¡¯s moves were allmon and worthless. However, in the hands of the person in front of him, these moves could result in a stunning effect. In particr, thebination of the fist technique and the body technique actually made him feel the pressure of a body cultivation. Cheng Xu smiled without saying a word. As he used the Tiger Subduing Fist and cloud steps to fight, he found an opportunity and shot out a Setting Sun Finger. Bang! Bang! The explosive finger force was received by the demonic cultivator¡¯s bloody hand, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. ¡°You¡¯ve got some skills~¡± the demonic cultivator¡¯s eyes narrowed, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his devilish eyes. ¡°Unfortunately, your cultivation level is still a little low!¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was actually able to fight back and forth with the demonic cultivator, the young richdy no longer hesitated. Her sword fingers gently brushed across the body of the sword, painting the sword with ayer of surging green sword light. Then, a ray of green sword light shot out from the sword and cut through the sky. The demonic cultivator parried in shock, but he was still swept far away by the sword light. If the bronze bell had not protected his vital parts in time, the demonic cultivator would have been injured or even killed. ¡°?!¡± The demonic cultivator was taken aback. He quickly cast a spell and the bronze bell in front of him reverberated with a strange yet powerful sound wave. Although the rich girl had a bracelet to protect her body, she was still pushed back more than ten meters by the demonic sound. Cheng Xu had wanted to use the Evil Eye Of 10,000 technique again to keep the other party here, but he was knocked away by the sound wave. Although he had activated his Protective Dipper energy in time, he was still bleeding from his seven orifices. The demonic cultivator who had repelled the two seemed to have realized that the two of them were not easy to deal with. He turned around and disappeared into a cloud of blood mist. He left a cold and ruthless message in the forest, ¡°We¡¯ll meet again, you two!¡± ¡°Ciao!¡± Cheng Xu stood up with a grimace and hurriedly consumed a small recovery pill to recover from his injuries. He secretly felt that it was a pity. He had nned to take the bronze bell after killing the demon, but he did not expect it to be so powerful. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you alright?¡± The rich girl came forward, still in shock. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand. it¡¯s a pity he got away. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. We can¡¯t stay here for long, we¡¯d better leave as soon as possible.¡± Cheng Xu turned to look at the rich girl¡¯s stunning face and did not refuse. With his current injuries, he might not be able to escape without someone to take him with him. ¡°By the way, Fellow Daoist, the movement technique you used just now seemed to be the floating cloud steps of my Yunzhong sect, right?¡± In the process of escaping down the mountain, the rich girl¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of doubt. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the cloud steps,¡± Cheng Xu generously admitted. ¡°That¡¯s strange. You¡¯re just an itinerant cultivator. Why do you know the movement technique of our Yunzhong sect? ¡± The rich girl was bewildered and after some pondering, she asked, ¡°Could it be¡­¡± ¡°Because I used to be a disciple of the Yunzhong sect, but I¡¯ve been expelled from the sect,¡± The rich girl was skeptical. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you were once a disciple of our sect? ¡± ¡°I used to be, but I¡¯m not anymore.¡± ¡°For what reason were you expelled from the sect? My master has a prominent status in the sect and might be able to help you.¡± The rich girl was a warm and kindhearted person. Cheng Xu sighed andughed. Without exining, he changed the topic. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you follow your master here? Why are you still alone?¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was sighing and not saying anything, the rich girl did not pursue the matter. ¡°Master is working with a few Golden Core realm cultivators to deal with those Golden Core realm demons. Us juniors are trying to break out of the encirclement at the foot of the mountain but we were separated by the demonic cultivators in the process.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly. Under the effects of the small reversion pill, his injuries had improved quite a bit. ¡°By the way, fairy, have you seen Perfected Chi Yao and his apanying disciple?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, you know Perfected Chi Yao?¡± the rich girl asked, stunned. ¡°Do you know where they are?¡± Cheng Xu did not exin and continued to ask. ¡°Perfected Chi Yao isn¡¯t good at fighting, so he didn¡¯t get entangled with those demonic Dao monsters. He should have already retreated to a safe ce by now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Before they knew it, the two of them had already evacuated to a ce dozens of miles away from the Yuntai Mountain. Sometimes, fate was just so sudden. Just as Cheng Xu was about to part ways with the rich girl, an emerald-green sword light suddenly descended from above and transformed into two familiar figures, one old and one young. They were Perfected Chi Yao and Miao Changsheng. ¡°That¡¯s great, Brother Cheng is still alive.¡± Miao Changsheng was overjoyed to see brother Cheng. ¡°Oh, Fairy Bai is here too!¡± ¡°Greetings, Perfected Chi Yao.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er politely paid her respects to Perfected Chi Yao. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve escaped safely,¡± Perfected Chi Yao nodded and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you that little friend Cheng was rescued. ¡°No, no, no, I was of no help at all. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Cheng helped me a lot,¡± the rich girl said with a slightly red face. ¡°Hey, you two are from the same sect, so why are you being so polite?¡± Miao Changsheng joked. ¡°Are you really from the same sect?¡± Bai Ci¡¯er was surprised. Cheng Xu calmly spread his hands. Did this girl think he was lying to her? ¡°Fairy Bai, you still don¡¯t know?¡± Miao Changsheng began to introduce them excitedly. ¡°Didn¡¯t my master ask your master about an outer sect disciple called Cheng Xu? Ah, it¡¯s him, Brother Cheng.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er was dazed for a long time. She looked at Perfected Chi Yao and his disciple, then looked at Cheng Xu who beside her, before saying with a strange look in her eyes,¡±So you¡¯re the external sect lecher that made Senior Sister Hu really angry?¡± ¡°What lecher!?¡± Cheng Xu tried to defend himself, ¡°That was an ident, okay?¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Bai Ci¡¯er said softly, but she did not dwell on this issue. Instead, she pondered the rtionship between the three people in front of her. ¡°So, Perfected Chi Yao wants to take in my former Junior Brother?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Perfected Chi Yao didn¡¯t try to hide it, ¡°This young man is quite talented in alchemy. I like him very much.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er nodded slightly. ¡°The Medicine Immortal Valley is a good ce to stay. Congrattions, Junior Brother Cheng.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled, not saying much. At least, he had a good impression of Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s former Senior Sister. After some small talk, Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s beautiful master also came over. Looking at her worn out and disheveled appearance, it was obvious that she had experienced a fierce battle. After seeing that her disciple was safe and sound, her jittery and uneasy heart was finally put at ease. After Perfected Chi Yao and Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s master, Perfected Luoyue, exchanged some pleasantries, they began to talk about the demonic Dao¡¯s siege on Grand Cloud Mountain. As juniors, Cheng Xu and the other two naturally couldn¡¯t interject. Chapter 8 I¡¯ll Be An In-Name Disciple First (1) ¡°Fellow Daoists, can you take down those demonic Dao monsters?¡± Perfected Chi Yao asked with concern. Perfected Luoyue shook her head regretfully. ¡°Those demons are quite powerful. We chased them for hundreds of miles, but they still escaped.¡± ¡°What a pity. I didn¡¯t expect that after being immersed in the demonic path for so many years, it would start to emerge again so quickly.¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Perfected Luoyue also sighed with emotion. ¡°After this, I¡¯m afraid that the Orthodox sects will have to discuss it seriously again.¡± Perfected Chi Yao nodded solemnly, then suddenly changed the topic,¡±By the way, Fellow Daoist Luoyue, I¡¯m going to take in an outer sect disciple who has been expelled from Yunzhong sect. Your sect shouldn¡¯t have any objections, right?¡± Master Luoyue was no fool. Her sharp eyes instantly locked on Cheng Xu. ¡°The one who peeked at Jiaojiao bathing? ¡± ¡°Ahem, ahem. Young people are full of vigor and vitality.¡± Perfected Chi Yao stroked his round belly and quipped whileughing, ¡°That¡¯s a small problem ~ a small problem ~¡± ¡°Are you questioning the vision and decision of our Yunzhong sect, Perfected Chi Yao?¡± Perfected Luoyue turned around indifferently, as if she didn¡¯t take Cheng Xu seriously. ¡°You took in an abandoned disciple of another sect, and a lecher with a problematic character at that. Even if Perfected Chi Yao can afford to be embarrassed, your Medicine Immortal Valley can¡¯t, right? ¡± Cheng Xu really wanted to defend himself, but in the end, he held back. After all, this Master Daoist Luoyue didn¡¯t look like an easy person to talk to, and she had the vibe of Abbess Miejue. ¡°..¡± Perfected Chi Yao frowned and fell into deep thought. As Perfected Luoyue had said, if they really epted Cheng Xu, the Medicine Immortal Valley and the Yunzhong sect would be embarrassed. Although he believed that Cheng Xu had been wrongly used, it was useless for him to believe it alone. Moreover, the demonic Dao was getting restless at the moment, and it would indeed be inappropriate for them to have a conflict with the Yunzhong sect over this matter. Even if he brought Cheng Xu back to the sect, his Senior Brother, the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang, would probably not agree. ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say. Please consider the big picture first, Perfected Chi Yao. Don¡¯t hurt the harmony between the two sects because of a small matter.¡± After a few polite words, Perfected Luoyue left with Bai Ci¡¯er. After watching Perfected Luoyue and her disciple leave, Perfected Chi Yao hesitated. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Actually, it¡¯s not bad to be an itinerant cultivator.¡± Cheng Xu smiled indifferently. After all, he was interested in the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s alchemy knowledge, not the Medicine Immortal Valley sect. Miao Changsheng could not help butin. ¡°Those people from the Yunzhong sect are really too much. They¡¯ve already expelled him from the sect, but they still won¡¯t let him find a better job.¡± ¡°Such a good potential alchemist talent, it would truly be a pity to miss him.¡± Perfected Chi Yao pondered in his heart. Miao Changsheng had only remembered about the mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir after he had parted ways with Cheng Xu at the trade fair. When Perfected Chi Yao saw the Qi-gathering elixir, he was greatly shocked. Unfortunately, when he went back to look for Cheng Xu, he had already disappeared. ¡°Little fellow, are you willing to take me as your master?¡± Perfected Chi Yao solemnly asked after thinking for a long time. ¡°What?¡± Cheng Xu was ttered. ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but you really don¡¯t have to make things difficult for yourself because of a small fry like me. If you think that I¡¯m a promising person, you can just give me some pointers on alchemy.¡± Perfected Chi Yao grinned and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine ~ you can just acknowledge me as your master and not enter the sect for the time being. First, you¡¯ll be an in-name disciple of mine. When the matter is over, I¡¯ll officially ept you into the sect.¡± ¡°Yeah, why didn¡¯t I think of that? As expected of our master,¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°What do you think, young man? Are you interested in learning alchemy with me?¡± Cheng Xu was also stunned by Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s actions and immediately bowed to him. ¡°Master, please ept this disciple¡¯s bow!¡± After all, there was no harm in being an in-name disciple. On the contrary, it was very suitable for his current state. ¡°Hahaha, very good!¡± Perfected Chi Yao was pleased as he helped Cheng Xu up. ¡°From now on, you will be my second disciple. However, for the time being, it¡¯s better for you to act as an in-name disciple.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Cheng Xu nodded in understanding. ¡°Wee to the Medicine Immortal Valley, Brother Cheng,¡± Miao Changsheng said excitedly. ¡°Quick, quick, quick, call me Senior Brother.¡± Cheng Xuughed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Perfected Chi Yao. ¡°My disciples have always been ranked by their alchemy skills. From now on, Little Cheng is the Senior Brother, and you are the Junior Brother!¡± Miao Changsheng was dumbfounded. He thought that he had found a Junior Brother for himself, but he did not expect to find a Senior Brother instead. Moreover, he didn¡¯t feel that his alchemy level was any worse than Cheng Xu¡¯s. ¡°I¡¯m not convinced!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not convinced, then hold it in. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Follow me back to the Medicine Immortal Valley,¡± Perfected Chi Yao snorted. ¡°Uh, wouldn¡¯t it be inappropriate to go back with you directly?¡± ¡°How about this, our Medicine Immortal Valley is quite close to the floating Immortal City. In a while, you can go to my cave residence to find a ce, then you can stay in the floating Immortal City. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you cane to my cave residence to ask for advice at any time.¡± Cheng Xu was secretly happy. The floating Immortal City was thergest market in mini Southern Heaven, and he had also wanted to go to the floating Immortal City to collect some data. ¡­ In the sky, an exquisite and luxurious treasure ship was slowly sailing through the clouds. Master Luoyue¡¯s mind was full of thoughts about the demonic Dao, while Bai Ci¡¯er was recalling Cheng Xu¡¯s performance in the previous battle. ¡°By the way, master, I just heard from Junior Brother Cheng that what happened between him and Senior Sister Hu was just an ident.¡± ¡°An ident? You believe a man¡¯s words?¡± Perfected Luoyue snorted. ¡°But I don¡¯t think Junior Brother Cheng is that kind of person.¡± ¡°No matter if it was an ident or not, that girl Jiaojiao will never let him stay in Yunzhong sect. Also, don¡¯t keep calling him Junior Brother,¡± Perfected Luoyue said in a deep voice with a frown. ¡°That kid is no longer a disciple of the Yunzhong sect.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Bai Ci¡¯er mumbled and nodded. ¡°But then again, Perfected Chi Yao actually wants to take that kid as a disciple, this is a bit unexpected.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er smiled sweetly and said, ¡°Based on Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s words, Senior Brother Cheng¡­ Uh¡­ Fellow Daoist Cheng seems to be quite talented in alchemy.?Oh, by the way, I bought some Qi-gathering elixirs from him at the market.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Master Luoyue was a little surprised. ¡°Since he¡¯s able to make Qi-gathering elixirs by himself at such a young age, he does have some talent in alchemy, but alchemy is just an auxiliary path. Cultivators still have to rely on their cultivation and strength.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er frowned slightly, not quite agreeing with her master¡¯s point of view. ¡°Isn¡¯t the status of alchemists very high?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an overestimation,¡± Perfected?Luoyueughed and said. ¡°Just like that Perfected Chi Yao, he¡¯s a dignified middle-stage Golden Core realm cultivator but he ran faster than anyone else when he saw the demonic cultivators. What¡¯s the use of that? ¡± ¡­ Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s flying magic weapon was a medicine gourd that could grow in size, but no one knew what was inside. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng sat side by side on the medicine gourds, debating about the theory of medicine with Miao Changsheng. Miao Changsheng¡¯s face turned red as he scratched his ears and cheeks. Perfected Chi Yao, who was leaning on the medicine gourd, saw everything and couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°That¡¯s enough, Changsheng. I¡¯ve already said that you¡¯re definitely not Little Cheng¡¯s match. You won¡¯t be able to refine that mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir of his in a short time,¡± Perfected Chi Yao joked. ¡°Are you kidding me? I clearly concocted a top-grade Qi-gathering elixirst time, okay?¡± Miao Changsheng was unconvinced. Perfected Chi Yao shook his head andughed, ¡°They¡¯re both middle-grade Qi-gathering elixirs, but the one you made and the one Little Cheng made are onpletely different levels.¡± ¡°Why are they not on the same level? Aren¡¯t they both middle-grade? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I said you¡¯re still far from getting it~¡± Perfected Chi Yao chuckled and looked at Cheng Xu. ¡°Come, Little Cheng, tell him what¡¯s the rate of loss when you make a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not bad,¡± Cheng Xu said, puzzled. ¡°A single set of ingredients can probably produce a little more than three sets of Qi-gathering elixirs.¡± The so-called rate of loss referred to the number of elixirs that could be produced after a set of materials was sessfully refined. The lower the rate of loss, the more elixirs would be produced. ¡°Really?! three portions is already ridiculous enough, ¡± Miao Changsheng said in shock. ¡°Can you make more?¡± ¡°So, now you know the difference? You¡¯re indeed capable, but you¡¯re stillcking something in the details,¡± said Perfected Chi Yao in a bad mood. ¡°Master, what¡¯s the approximate rate of loss when refining a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir?¡± Cheng Xu asked curiously. ¡°Five and a half. If I¡¯m in good condition, I can make six.¡± Perfected Chi Yao calmly acted cool. Cheng Xu silently gave him a thumbs up. This was because he knew very well that six sets of Qi-gathering elixir was already the physical limit of one set of materials. In other words, if Perfected Chi Yao was in a good condition, he could refine the Qi-gathering elixir without wasting a single ounce of material. It seemed that he had found the right master. With such an amazing alchemist as his master, he was not afraid that his [ Alchemy ] application would not be able to level up. Even if he didn¡¯t read the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s alchemy books, he would be able to collect a lot of valuable data just by listening to Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s exnation. ¡°Senior Brother, quickly tell me how you did it?¡± Miao Changsheng asked humbly. ¡°Just do it like that. Cheng Xu scratched his head awkwardly. What¡¯s your rate of loss, Junior Brother?¡± ¡°I can barely make two sets.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not very good.¡± ¡°..¡± Along the way, Cheng Xu and Perfected Chi Yao took turns to give Miao Changsheng pointers on how to refine the Qi-gathering elixirs. As for how much this guy could take in, it was unknown. ¡­ Two dayster, the medicine gourd arrived at a mountain range surrounded by immortal mist. This was where the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s main gate was. Cheng Xu looked down curiously at the immortal mountain full of spiritual energy and was secretly envious. Perfected Chi Yaonded the medicine gourd at the entrance of an immortal¡¯s cave on the mountainside, then took Cheng Xu to get familiar with the cave. ¡°I have to report the situation of the demonic attack to the sect leader. Changsheng, take little Cheng to the library cave and give your Senior Brother a copy of the alchemy books that I asked you to study.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Miao Changsheng epted the order obediently. Perfected Chi Yao flew away with a grave expression, while Miao Changsheng led Cheng Xu to the library Cave. ¡°What do you think, Senior Brother? the environment in the Medicine Immortal Valley isn¡¯t any worse than the Yunzhong sect¡¯s, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s much better than the Yunzhong sect.¡± Cheng Xu greedily sucked in the spiritual energy in the space, feeling refreshed. As a former outer sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect, he could only live on the top of the mountain with the worst spirit vein in the mountain range among the clouds. He had never enjoyed such an environment with such rich spiritual energy. ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay in a sect that doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good.¡± Miao Changsheng was nowpletely convinced by Cheng Xu. While he secretly felt indignant for Cheng Xu, he was also criticizing the cloud sect for being blind. What a joke. He was an alchemy genius who could reach such a level by self-study, how could his future achievements be understood by that group of mediocre people? ¡°By the way, our medicine celestial Valley should have quite a collection of precious alchemy books, right?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly looking forward to it. ¡°That¡¯s natural.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t have much ess to any proper alchemy knowledge before. Now that I have this opportunity, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Miao Changsheng expressed his understanding. He was also a young man who was passionate about refining elixirs. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to the library cave of the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± As Miao Changsheng led the way, he bragged, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to brag, but in the entire mini South Heaven, no one in the Medicine Immortal Valley would dare to im to be number one in the field of alchemy.¡± Cheng Xu had no doubts about this. A sect that had alchemy as its foundation and had been passed down for a thousand years waspletely qualified to say such words. Chapter 9 Glorious Crimson Sutra The architecture of the Medicine Immortal Valley was extremely suitable for the natural environment, making people feel veryfortable. Following Miao Changsheng along theplicated mountain path and crossing an iron chain bridge that ran between two mountains, even those who were not afraid of heights would be scared to death. Along the way, they met many Medicine Immortal Valley disciples, who simply nodded at each other, giving off a cold atmosphere. ¡°Why do I feel that our Medicine Immortal Valley disciples are not very active?¡± Cheng Xu was puzzled. Miao Changsheng exined, ¡°Everyone¡¯s busy studying medicine and is toozy to talk. I¡¯m the most talkative person in the entire sect. Oh, that¡¯s right. The sect leader¡¯s branch is also quite lively. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t even have anyone to talk to.¡± Cheng Xu nodded in understanding. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you¡¯ll get used to it in the future.¡± Miao Changsheng grinned. The Book Cave is right in front. Try to keep your voice down after you enter. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Cheng Xu nodded. The library, I know! As he walked into the cave, the view before him suddenly brightened up. Rather than calling it a cave, it was more like a huge Pce that was excavated from the mountain. At a nce, there were ancient books and scrolls everywhere. The air was filled with the thick smell of books and the faint fragrance of herbs. ¡°There arebels on the bookshelves for easy reading. This jade slip contains the alchemy books that Master has carefully selected, ¡± Miao Changsheng exined. ¡°As long as you can read these books thoroughly, you don¡¯t have to read the other misceneous books. Senior Brother, make a copy yourself. I¡¯ll go to the lower level to check for information.¡± After he finished speaking, he left Cheng Xu behind and walked to the lower level of the library with familiarity. Cheng Xu looked at the vast number of alchemy books in front of him, his eyes twinkling and his mouth salivating. He only had 100MB of hard disk space left. It was obvious that he could not store so many high-end alchemy books. Thus, he decisively found a corner with no one around and took out the nearly 20,000 spirit stones that he had collected from the corpses earlier. He then upgraded the hard drive to Level 3 on the spot. The original 512MB hard drive was instantly upgraded to 1GB. His sea of consciousness was further expanded, and his spiritual power was also slightly improved. After he was done, he spent 1,000 spirit stones to level up his sound card to Level 2. Other than his hearing improving, there didn¡¯t seem to be any substantial changes. ¡°How many spirit stones do I need to upgrade my hard drive to level four?¡± He opened the panel of the cultivationputer and clicked on the hard disk upgrade. The materials required for the next level were disyed in front of him: 10,000 spirit stones and 10 crystal ores called [ Earth Spirit essence ]. ¡°You¡¯re starting to need materials?¡± Cheng Xu furrowed his brows. It was obvious that after the hardware was upgraded to Level 3, it was no longer as simple as just needing spirit stones. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to use it sparingly.¡± Originally, he had wanted to make money as soon as possible, fill up his hard disk, and then store all the alchemy books of the Medicine Immortal Valley in his bag. Now, it seemed that he could only change his way of thinking.He started from the basics to the depths, gradually collecting the data. Coming out from the corner, he followed thebel on the bookshelf and searched for the ancient books that Perfected Chi Yao had pointed out in the jade slip. As a guru in alchemy, Perfected Chi Yao naturally knew which books were more valuable. With this list of books and jade slips, Cheng Xu could save a lot of trouble. After reading and installing the books, the applications of [ Alchemy ] rapidly expanded, and Cheng Xu¡¯s potion refining ability was also steadily improving. ¡®As expected of Master. There¡¯s almost no repeated data!¡¯ Unknowingly, the application size of [ Alchemy ] had expanded from 38.9 MB to 174.2 MB. However, there was still more than half of the books that he had to read. [ Alchemy ] [ Pharmacology level: Level 6 ] [ Refining ability: intermediate ] ¡­ With so much refining data settled, he raised his Alchemy level from Level 3 to Level 6 in one go, but his refining ability was still at the intermediate level. He could only say that the Dao of alchemy was far more extensive and profound than he imagined. He still had a long way to go. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re here.¡± Miao Changsheng found Cheng Xu after checking the information. ¡°It¡¯s almost time for master to go back. Let¡¯s head back first. There¡¯s no rush. Just finish the books you just copied. We¡¯ll have plenty of time in the future.¡± The two of them chatted as they walked to the door and bumped into a handsome and elegant young man. The young man was holding a folding fan in his hand and looked very elegant. When he saw Miao Changsheng, the corners of his mouth curled up into a yful smile. ¡°Yo ~ Junior Brother Miao, I heard that you and Uncle Master were besieged by the demonic cultivators on Yuntai Mountain. Are you scared?¡± ¡°¡­¡±Miao Changsheng¡¯s face turned sullen. He said angrily,¡±Thanks to Senior Brother Tang, I¡¯m very good ~!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I don¡¯t want to nag at you, but although refining elixirs is important, you should also take some time to improve your strength. Don¡¯t be like Uncle Master and be aughing stock of the cultivation world.¡± The young man¡¯s words were full of mockery. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I know that your sect leader¡¯s faction is the most powerful faction in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Will that do?¡± Miao Changsheng was obviously sick of hearing that. He was not affected at all. The young man with the paper fan emphasized in all seriousness, ¡°I really don¡¯t mean to mock you, Senior Brother. As the saying goes, good advice is unpleasant to the ear. Now that the demonic path has appeared and chaos is imminent, we alchemists should increase our own strength and seek self-protection.¡± Miao Changsheng nodded after some thought. Senior Brother Tang is right this time. ¡°It¡¯s good that you can think this way!¡± The young man with the paper fan nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Cheng Xu with interest. ¡°This is¡­?¡± ¡°Master¡¯s newly epted disciple, who can only act as an in-name disciple for the time being due to some reasons. However, he will definitely be a personal disciple in the future.¡± Miao Changsheng introduced. The young man clicked his tongue in wonder and couldn¡¯t help but carefully size up Cheng Xu. ¡°Cheng Xu.¡± Cheng Xu cupped his fists and reported his name. The young man with the paper fan also cupped his fists politely. ¡°I¡¯m Tang Xuan, the eldest disciple of the sect master, Daoist Master Dan Yang. Daoist Master Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s branch have always been on the same side. If you face any difficulties in the future, you can look for me.¡± Cheng Xu smiled politely and did not say anything. Tang Xuan opened his folding fan and said, ¡°Although Junior Brother Cheng has be a disciple of Uncle Master, I still have to give you a few words of advice. Don¡¯t just focus on studying medicine and neglect your cultivation and strength.¡± Miao Changsheng rolled his eyes. ¡°That¡¯s enough, Senior Brother Tang. I¡¯m justplimenting you, and you¡¯re already so full of yourself. Your sect leader¡¯s lineage is only decent in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Compared to the other sects ¡®outstanding geniuses, what is he?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like what you¡¯re saying. Our Medicine Immortal Valley has always advocated all-round development,¡± Tang Xuan said unhappily. ¡°Why are wepared to those martial artists?¡± Miao Changsheng snorted and forcefully dragged Cheng Xu away. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Senior Brother. Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re leaving just like that? I still want to chat with Junior Brother Cheng!¡± ¡­ ¡°By the way, is the sect leader¡¯s faction very strong?¡± Cheng Xu asked as he walked. Miao Changsheng nodded his head. ¡°The sect leader¡¯s faction is indeed the main fighting force of the Medicine Immortal Valley. However, when ites to refining medicine, it¡¯s still our master¡¯s faction. I feel that Senior Brother Tang¡¯s point of view is correct. Refining elixirs and strength are equally important.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but not everyone is suitable for cultivation and fighting.¡± Miao Changsheng obviously understood this. ¡°Otherwise, Master wouldn¡¯t have given the position of sect leader to Uncle Master back then.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly. ¡°Is Master very weak?¡± ¡°This¡­ You¡¯ll slowly experience it. I¡¯ll put it this way,¡± Miao Changsheng said awkwardly. ¡°Our master has no interest in cultivation or fighting. He¡¯s only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm now because of the elixirs.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. He finally understood that Perfected Chi Yao was a pure alchemist expert, and hisbat power couldn¡¯t be said to be zero, but it could only be said to be pitifully little. ¡°ording to Master, if it wasn¡¯t for the sake of refining higher-grade medicinal pills and the little bit of longevity that cultivation brings, he wouldn¡¯t even bother to use medicinal pills to improve his cultivation.¡± ¡°Master is really¡­ pure!¡± ¡°However, Master doesn¡¯t object to us spending time to improve our strength, so if Senior Brother is interested in cultivation, you can cultivate without worry.¡± Miao Changshengughed as he spoke. ¡°Don¡¯t fall behind too much in alchemy. It¡¯ll be bad if your Junior Brother catches up to you. Haha!¡± Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything. It¡¯s going to be a little difficult to catch up to him in terms of alchemy! As they talked andughed, the two of them had already returned to Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s immortal¡¯s cave. ¡°What do you think, Little Cheng? what¡¯s your impression of the Medicine Immortal Valley?¡± Seeing his two disciples return, Perfected Chi Yao asked with a smile. ¡°The spirit of the bell and the beauty of the jade, a paradise on earth.¡± Perfected Chi Yao raised his head andughed, then took out a special waist token with Cheng Xu¡¯s name engraved on it. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll use this in-name disciple identity token for now.¡± Cheng Xu silently hung his identity card on his waist, looking like a new person. ¡°By the way, you¡¯re still cultivating the minor cloud technique of the Yunzhong sect, right?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°Although the cloud technique isn¡¯t bad, it¡¯s only a simplified version of the cloud technique. Now that you¡¯ve be my disciple, you should naturally cultivate my Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s cultivation techniques,¡± Perfected Chi Yao stroked his beard and said with a smile. ¡°Please enlighten me, Master,¡± Cheng Xu said expectantly. ¡°This is the ¡®Glorious Crimson Sutra¡¯, a cultivation technique of the Chi Yao lineage. It¡¯s a fire and wood dual-attribute cultivation technique that is extremely suitable for alchemy. After cultivating it, it can effectively improve your control over the heat and medicinal properties.¡± Perfected Chi Yao solemnly introduced, ¡°Other than that, the Glorious Crimson Sutra is also a very powerfulbat technique. Unfortunately, I¡¯ve been too engrossed in the Dao of alchemy and medicine to unleash the true power of the Glorious Crimson Sutra.¡± As he said this, he pointed his finger in the air and injected the technique of the Glorious Crimson Sutra into Cheng Xu¡¯s consciousness through his spiritual will. At the same time, Cheng Xu also received a system notification. Ding! Ding! ¡°Data instation package detected. Do you want to install it?¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t even think about it. He immediately confirmed the instation and sat down cross-legged. This ¡°Glorious Crimson Sutra¡± was actually 59MB in size, and the instation speed was much slower than Cheng Xu had expected. From this, it could be seen that the Perfected Chi Yao wasn¡¯t bragging. The Glorious Crimson Sutra was indeed a rather high-end cultivation technique. ¡°I¡¯ll slowlyprehend it after I return. Uh¡­¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu had started to study the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ] on the spot, both General Chi Yao and Miao Changsheng were a little surprised. After all, for two people with poor cultivation qualifications, it would take them at least ten days to half a month toprehend it. Even those cultivation geniuses would need at least two to three days to fully understand it. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll let him stay here toprehend.¡± Perfected Chi Yao smiled helplessly and motioned for Miao Changsheng to leave. Not long after Miao Changsheng left, Perfected Chi Yao went to the alchemy room and immersed himself in the study of medicine. After an unknown amount of time¡­ ¡°Ding! The instation is sessful.¡± Cheng Xu opened his eyes in joy. He had sessfully cultivated the first realm of the Glorious Crimson Sutra. Next, he just had to spend some time to rece the true Qi in his body with the true Qi in the Glorious Crimson Sutra. However, he had to admit that the Glorious Crimson Sutra was indeed impressive. It actually took him more than two hours to install it. Only the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique had been installed for more than two hours. Chapter 10 Floating Immortal City (1) Just as he was about to report the situation to his master, he realized that there was no one in front of him. He got up and looked around the cave, only to find Perfected Chi Yao busy in the alchemy room. Sensing the movement behind him, Perfected Chi Yao turned around in surprise, you can¡¯t rush to seed in cultivation. Take it slow. There¡¯s no rush. ¡°Disciple has already cultivated the first level of the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ].¡± As he spoke, he started to circte the first level of the Glorious Crimson Sutra. A faint, restless fire-attributed aura appeared around his body. Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s eyes widened in astonishment, ¡°It¡¯s only been a short while, and¡­ Then¡­ You¡¯ve fullyprehended it?¡± ¡°Although my cultivation talent is average, myprehension is still okay.¡± After recovering from his shock, Perfected Chi Yao was actually at a loss as to what to do. He circled around Cheng Xu and looked at him again and again, so excited that he couldn¡¯t contain himself. He was already very satisfied with Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in alchemy, but he didn¡¯t expect his talent in cultivation to be so outstanding as well. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be¡­ With such good aptitude, even the Yunzhong sect doesn¡¯t take a fancy to him? ¡± Perfected Chi Yao found it inconceivable. ¡°That¡­ it might be because I was agitated by being expelled from the sect, ¡°Cheng Xu exined awkwardly. ¡°My brain is a lot more enlightened than before.¡± ¡°Hahaha, it seems like I have picked up a treasure.¡± The more Perfected Chi Yao thought about it, the more excited he became. Their lineage had been silent for so many years. Was a decent talent finally going to appear? ¡°Without your appreciation, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am now.¡± Cheng Xu was sincerely grateful. ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡± Perfected Chi Yao said three times in a row, ¡°Such a good cultivation potential. Suddenly, I don¡¯t know how I should be nurturing you.¡± In the midst of his excitement, Miao Changsheng rushed over, puzzled. what¡¯s wrong, Master? I¡¯ve just left, why did you call me here again?¡± Perfected Chi Yaoughed and said, ¡°Haha, I originally wanted to wait for Little Cheng to fullyprehend the cultivation technique before telling you guys. I didn¡¯t expect Little Cheng to have alreadyprehended the firstyer of the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ] so quickly.¡± ¡°What¡¯s this?!¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. After confirming that Cheng Xu¡¯s body was circting with the true Qi of the Glorious Crimson Sutra, he was forced to ept the truth. ¡°Good fellow, is Senior Brother still human? It¡¯s fine if his talent in alchemy is so heaven-defying, but even his talent in cultivation is so shocking. This, this, this¡­¡± Miao Changsheng sized up Cheng Xu in disbelief. ¡°By the way, is there something wrong with the brains of the Yunzhong sect¡¯s higher-ups?¡± ¡°What do you want to tell me, Master?¡± Cheng Xu smiled and asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, ¡°The sect leader and the elders attached great importance to this turmoil of the demonic path and developed a set of ns to improve the overall strength of the sect, especially you little guys.¡± ¡°What do you mean? is the Medicine Immortal Valley going to delve into martial arts? ¡± Miao Changsheng asked in shock. ¡°More or less.¡± Perfected Chi Yao said profoundly, ¡°This time, the demonic path has made such a big movement. I¡¯m afraid the following situation will be even worse. If we don¡¯t have enough martial strength, it¡¯ll be very difficult for our Medicine Immortal Valley to protect ourselves.¡± ¡°Is it really that serious?¡± Miao Changsheng asked. Perfected Chi Yao sighed. ¡°You¡¯re still young and haven¡¯t experienced the demonic Dao¡¯s turmoil. You don¡¯t understand how terrifying it is. During that demonic Dao¡¯s turmoil, only one-fifth of the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples in my generation survived.¡± Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng gasped in shock. ¡°So this time, the sect leader has decided to take out all his resources from the sect¡¯s treasure house to fully support the disciples in improving their strength. We can¡¯t let the tragedy of that year happen again. Unfortunately, Little Cheng has not officially joined the sect yet, so he can¡¯t enjoy these resources for the time being. But don¡¯t worry, I will find a way to help you get some.¡± Cheng Xu was deeply touched. thank you, master. Compared to the situation in Yunzhong sect, this rtionship between master and disciple was particrly precious. ¡°There will be apetition in a month, and you will be provided with cultivation resources ording to the results. Unfortunately, Little Cheng will definitely not be able to participate.¡± ¡°It seems that the sect leader is serious this time.¡± Miao Changsheng was secretly amazed. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Perfected Chi Yao nodded. ¡°The thousand-year foundation of an alchemist sect is enough to send your generation to a very high level. The premise is that you must also work hard.¡± It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t participate in the sect¡¯s benefit distribution this time. If he wanted to me someone, he could only me the Yunzhong sect. Not only did they expel him from the Yunzhong sect, but they also prevented him from joining other sects in peace. It was really harmful! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master. I will do my best!¡± Miao Changsheng patted his chest and promised. ¡­ East of the Medicine Immortal Valley, floating Immortal City. This was thergest gathering ce for itinerant cultivators in mini Southern Heaven. It was also thergest city of cultivators in mini Southern Heaven. All the major sects and merchants had businesses here, and the Medicine Immortal Valley was no exception. The city was bustling with noise and excitement. The pedestrians on the streets were basically all cultivators, and mortals were a minority. Because of his identity as an abandoned disciple, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t stay in the Medicine Immortal Valley openly for the time being. He could only stay in the floating Immortal City for a while. It wouldn¡¯t be toote to wait until the Yunzhong sect had forgotten about this unremarkable abandoned disciple of theirs. After a simple stroll around the floating Immortal City, he found a few ces that provided cultivation rooms. The condition of the quiet room was much better than that of the Yuntai Mountain, but the rental price was also outrageously expensive. It couldn¡¯t be helped, it was a big city after all. In the end, he rented a cultivation room with poor conditions for five spirit stones a day for a month, and the total was 150 spirit stones. In the quiet room, Cheng Xu was secretly sorting out the items he had plundered from the demonic cultivator¡¯s corpse. He still had around 9,000 spirit stones. Other than that, he also had some disgusting demonic cultivation materials, as well as some demonic cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques. Demonic Cultivation methods and martial arts techniques were obviously not suitable for Cheng Xu, and he did not want to cultivate demonic cultivation methods either. However, some of the martial arts techniques and ancient books were universal. What surprised Cheng Xu the most was a book that recorded advanced martial arts theories. It was 74MB in size. Even though a portion of the data had been covered during the instation, it was still 67MB. [ Martial arts skill (102.3MB) ] [ Martial arts theory: Intermediate ] [ Spell theory: elementary ] [ Martial arts skills installed: Tiger Subduing Fist (7MB), Setting Sun Finger (3.5MB), Protective Dipper energy (4.8MB), Cloud Steps (6MB), Earth Escape technique (22.4) ] Cheng Xu gave it a simple try. After his martial arts theory had been upgraded to the intermediate level, his martial arts skills had be more proficient in his hands, and their power and effect had improved significantly. the next step is to cultivate, earn money, and upgrade the configuration! ¡°That¡¯s right, can the recipe for the foundation building elixir be further optimized?¡± On the way to the Medicine Immortal Valley, the form for the foundation establishment pill had already been optimized for the second time. Unfortunately, the effect of the optimization this time was obviously not as good as the first time. Thest rare herb was not optimized, but the other ingredients were optimized. Now that the [ Alchemy ] application had expanded so much, it should be able to continue to be optimized, right? He clicked the ¡®optimize¡¯ button and the data could be further optimized. However, the optimization this time would take a full 10 days and 15 hours. From this, it could be seen that the speed of pill recipe optimization was not only rted to theputer configuration, but also rted to the difficulty of optimization. ¡°I hope you¡¯ll give me a surprise in ten days.¡± He put away the system panel and started to circte the ¡°Glorious Crimson Sutra¡± to rece the true Qi in his body. There wasn¡¯t much true Qi in thete-stage of Qi refining, so it was easy to rece it. In just one night, the true Qi in his body had been reced by the Crimson true Qi of the Glorious Crimson Sutra. He had to admit that high-end cultivation techniques were indeed different. The cultivation speed was much faster than the cloud cultivation technique. Coupled with the rich spiritual energy in the floating Immortal City and the support of the middle-grade Qi-gathering elixir, his cultivation was simply carefree. If his previous cultivation speed was like walking on two legs, then his current cultivation speed was equivalent to riding a bicycle. ¡°The Qi-gathering elixir has been used up. I can try a higher-grade Qi-gathering elixir now.¡± After installing so much elixir refinement data in the library, the [ elixir refinement ] application had already unlocked many higher-grade pills, including the Qi condensation pill, which was a substitute for the Qi-gathering elixir. Walking out of the quiet room, the floating Immortal City was full of vitality under the morning sun. He found a store that sold medicinal herbs and elixirs nearby and purchased a batch of ingredients for the Qi-gathering elixir. After he was done, he strolled around the shops of various sizes in the floating Immortal City and obtained a lot of data. Alchemy (179.5 MB) Refining (54.2 MB) Talisman (37.4MB) Array (43.8MB) Encyclopedia of General Studies (78.5MB) ¡­ He returned to the quiet room and began to try to refine the Qi-gathering elixir. with the current level of [ Alchemy ], there shouldn¡¯t be any problem in refining Qi-gathering elixirs. I just don¡¯t know if it can reach mid-grade. As he spoke, he processed the various medicinal materials ording to the refining details in the form. Then, he put them all into the [ form ] interface and handed them to the cultivationputer to process. ¡°Refining ¡­¡± The familiar refining screen appeared in front of him, and the refining progress bar was disyed on top. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s pretty fast.¡± Perhaps it was because the ingredients had been processed beforehand, the refining process was much faster than expected. In addition, after thest round of configuration upgrades, Cheng Xu¡¯s mental power was no longer the same as before, and he felt almost no difort during the refining process. Ding! Ding! After the refinement waspleted, the medicinal fragrance filled the air. After the faint light faded, a cauldron of two Qi-gathering elixirs appeared in front of Cheng Xu. They were both of medium quality. ¡°Only two? The loss is a Little Big ~!¡± Although he had sessfully refined a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir, Cheng Xu was not very satisfied with the rate of loss. ording to his theoretical calctions, the physical limit of a set of Qi-gathering elixir¡¯s ingredients should be fivepleted elixirs. However, he had only managed to refine two elixirs in one batch, so there was still a lot of room for improvement. After midnight, ten cauldrons of Qi-gathering elixirs werepleted, and there were a total of twenty mid-grade Qi-gathering elixirs. Then, he took a Qi-gathering elixir to help with his cultivation. The elixir melted in his mouth, and he could not feel any impurities. The pure medicinal power quickly seeped into his body. He activated the Glorious Crimson Sutra and started cultivating. my goodness, the speed of Zhen Qi condensation has more than doubled. Cheng Xu was greatly shocked. Inparison, the middle-grade Qi-gathering elixir was simply too weak. It was already the afternoon of the next day when the effect of the Qi-gathering elixir was exhausted. ¡®Phew ~ if I continue to cultivate at this speed, I will reach the peak of the Qi refining stage soon.¡¯ Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but look forward to the future. Walking out of the cultivation room, he was ready to sell a few Qi-gathering elixirs to earn money, but he saw that a tenant had moved into the cultivation room next door, which had been empty all this time. It was a female cultivator. But that wasn¡¯t the main point. The main point was that the tenant looked familiar. ¡°Fellow Daoist Cheng?¡± The female cultivator also seemed to have noticed Cheng Xu. It was actually Yue Wanling, whom he had met at the market City of Yuntai Mountain. ¡°Fairy, you¡¯ve alsoe to the floating Immortal City?¡± Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised to see an acquaintance. Chapter 11 Grandmaster¡¯s Inheritance? ¡°The Grand Cloud Mountain has been too chaotic recently, so the floating Immortal City is more stable,¡± Yue Wanling nodded her head. ¡°Indeed.¡± After that, he chatted with Yue Wanling for a while and also checked her data. [ Yue Wanling ] [ Cultivation: Late-stage of Qi Refinement realm ] [ Cultivation technique: ??? ] [ Martial arts techniques: Snow-Treading Wind, Thunderbolt Spell, Dark Ice sword technique, Heart-Clearing Spell, Heavenly Spirit Body Protection Spell, Disguise Technique ¡­ ] Cheng Xu was stunned by all kinds of cool martial arts and spells, especially the cultivation method that even the system couldn¡¯t recognize. Cheng Xu wanted to ask her about her cultivation methods, but it didn¡¯t seem appropriate to ask so out of the blue. ¡°By the way, fairy, I¡¯ve just made some Qi-gathering elixirs. Do you need them?¡± After all, she was a regr customer of his. Yue Wanling was surprised. ¡°Fellow Daoist Cheng, you can already make Qi-gathering elixirs?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve only just mastered the refinement of Qi-gathering elixirs.¡± ¡°The price of Qi-gathering elixirs isn¡¯t low. How many Qi-gathering elixirs do you have, Fellow Daoist?¡± ¡°Ten elixirs.¡± ¡°I should be able to take ten, ¡± Yue Wanling said somewhat hesitantly as she seemed to be considering. ¡°Can you let me see how they look first?¡± Cheng Xu smiled and handed over a Qi-gathering elixir. ¡°Mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir?¡± Yue Wanling was startled. ¡°Is this what you meant by just mastered the technique of it, Fellow Daoist? ¡± she asked. ¡°Maybe I¡¯m just more talented in alchemy.¡± Cheng Xu smiled innocently. Yue Wanling gave Cheng Xu a meaningful look. In the end, she bought the 10 Qi-gathering elixirs for 240 spirit stones each. After the matter was done, he returned to the quiet room and started to cultivate. With 2,400 spirit stones in his hands, Cheng Xu was satisfied. He was ready to make a trip to the Medicine Immortal Valley to continue reading the alchemy books in the library cave and ask his master for some medicinal knowledge. ¡­ When he arrived at the Medicine Immortal Valley, he wanted to go and greet his master first, but he saw Perfected Chi Yao immersed in refining medicinal pills. In order not to disturb his master¡¯s refining, Cheng Xu quietly left the cave abode and turned to look for his Junior Brother, Miao Changsheng. Just as he came out of the cave, he bumped into an excited Miao Changsheng. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re here too. Look at what changes I¡¯ve made.¡± Miao Changsheng said excitedly. Cheng Xu took a closer look and couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.¡±The peak of the Qi refinement stage?¡± ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right! I thought it would be hard to cultivate, ¡± Miao Changshengughed. ¡°It turns out that it¡¯s just so simple.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, then I really have to congratte you, Junior Brother!¡± ¡°With Senior Brother¡¯s talent, it¡¯s only a matter of time before you break through to the peak of the Qi refinement stage.¡± Miao Changsheng smiled and prepared to enter the cave to tell Perfected Chi Yao the good news. Cheng Xu hurriedly stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t, you can tell Master about itter. He is refining elixirs now.¡± ¡°Uh, alright.¡± Miao Changsheng quickly stopped in his tracks. I¡¯ve just made a breakthrough, and I¡¯m going to the library to pick out some books on martial arts and spells. Do you want toe with me? ¡± ¡°What a coincidence, I was just about to head to the library cave.¡± The two of them hit it off and went straight to the library cave. Perhaps it was because of thepetition a monthter, but the upper level of the library cave, which usually had no visitors, was now particrly lively. After wandering around the upper level for a long time, Miao Changsheng could not find a suitable one. On the other hand, Cheng Xu had found theplete threeyered form for [ Protective Dipper energy ]. It took 100 contribution points to open the restriction outside the Protective Dipper energy technique. Cheng Xu did not have enough for the time being, but Miao Changsheng was rich. ¡°Tell me which inheritance you like.¡± ¡°Thank you so much, Junior Brother.¡± ¡°We¡¯re family, so there¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± Miao Changsheng chuckled and used his identity token to open the restriction for Cheng Xu. At the same time, the cultivationputer had also sessfully identified the method of the Protective Dipper energy. Because Cheng Xu had already mastered oneyer of the skill form, he only needed to cover and install it. In just a few seconds, he had sessfully installed it. Just like that, he had easilyprehended the third realm of the Protective Dipper energy. At the same time that his defensive ability was greatly improved, his true Qi consumption had also been reduced by a lot. ¡°This floor only has some ordinary martial arts and spiritual spells. Let¡¯s go to the second floor and take a look.¡± Cheng Xu quietly closed the restriction and went up to the second floor with Miao Changsheng. Not long after he reached the upper second floor, Miao Changsheng found a fist technique that he liked. He happily made a copy of the technique on a jade slip and prepared to slowly study it when he returned. On the other hand, Cheng Xu found a few ancient books on martial arts theory, each of which was only 60 contribution points, which was quite cheap. Thus, he decisively borrowed Miao Changsheng¡¯s identity token and downloaded the four ancient books of martial arts theory into the cultivationputer. His knowledge and understanding of martial arts instantly rose to a new level. The power of martial arts skills also rose with the tide. ¡°Eh? isn¡¯t that Senior Sister Jian?¡± As Miao Changsheng continued to stroll around, his eyes inadvertently fell on a young beauty with a cold temperament. ¡°You¡¯re still studying the ¡®Mystic Water technique¡¯? Are you bent on mastering it or what?¡± Cheng Xu cast a puzzled look at her. ¡°Senior Sister from which branch? ¡± ¡°She¡¯s Uncle Master Ma¡¯s eldest disciple, Jian Yuxiang. Although she¡¯s not good at refining medicine, her cultivation aptitude is outstanding. ¡°ording to what Master said, Senior Brother Tang will be defeated by this girl sooner orter,¡± Miao Changsheng introduced. Cheng Xu muttered to himself and nodded, secretly taking note of thispetitor. ¡°By the way, is the Mystic Water technique very powerful?¡± ¡°It is strong, but it is also profound. Our Medicine Immortal Valley has been passed down for thousands of years. Other than the first few generations of ancestors, the number of disciples who have mastered the Mystic Water technique can be counted with one hand. However, Senior Sister Jian managed to master itst year,¡± Miao Changsheng said. ¡°Uncle Master Ma was so happy that he would praise Senior Sister Jian every time he saw her. It¡¯s a pity that Senior Sister Jian¡¯s Mystic Water technique has been stuck at the first realm.¡± ¡°Interesting. I like a tough challenge!¡± The corners of Cheng Xu¡¯s mouth curled up, and he couldn¡¯t help but be interested. ¡°No way, Senior Brother. You also want to practice the Mystic Water technique?¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°Trust me, the Mystic Water technique is not something a normal person canprehend.¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t say anything. He silently moved behind Jian Yuxiang. Jian Yuxiang, who was seriouslyprehending the Mystic Water technique, clearly sensed that there was someone behind her. She turned her head back with her eyebrows slightly furrowed. ¡°Uh, Senior Sister, please continue. I¡¯ll just watch and not say anything.¡± Cheng Xu was smiling. ¡°You are¡­?¡± Jian Yuxiang looked at Miao Changsheng, who had followed her in, and asked in realization, ¡°The new in-name junior brother that Uncle Master Chi Yao has taken in?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Cheng Xu.¡± Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. He did not expect this girl to have heard of him, an in-name disciple. ¡°I heard that Senior Sister Jian is a genius, so I came to pay you a visit.¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded her head indifferently and ignored Cheng Xu. At this time, Cheng Xu had inconspicuously read the data of the Mystic Water technique and was patiently waiting for the loading bar to be installed. The key was that he had saved some contribution points. Judging from the instation speed and the 24.5MB file size, the Mystic Water technique was indeed not simple. However, to him, no matter how difficult it was, it was just a matter of waiting for the instation progress bar. Seeing that Cheng Xu had been staring at Jian Yuxiang¡¯s back, Miao Changsheng thought that Cheng Xu was interested in Jian Yuxiang, so he tactfully turned to another ce and continued to look for martial arts and spiritual spells. ¡°Ah~ it¡¯s been almost an hour, right?¡± Cheng Xu looked at the instation progress bar that was about to finish andughed in his heart. Because from the moment he stood there, Jian Yuxiang¡¯s gaze had been on the second realm of the Mystic Water technique. An hour had passed, but she hadn¡¯t even turned a page! ¡°Ding! The instation is sessful.¡± As soon as the system notification appeared, theplete technique and the profound meaning of using the Mystic Water technique appeared clearly in Cheng Xu¡¯s mind. There were a total of three realms, and the power would increase significantly with each realm. Seeing that Jian Yuxiang was stuck on that page, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but remind her, ¡°Ahem¡­ Ahem¡­ I don¡¯t know if Senior Sister has ever heard of the saying, people always strive for better and look forward while water flows downwards.¡± ¡°What?¡± Jian Yuxiang didn¡¯t know what was going on and turned back to look at Cheng Xu. She seemed to be a little angry. However, Cheng Xu had already turned around and swaggered away. Jian Yuxiang turned her head back in anger. When she looked at the technique in front of her again, she was suddenly stunned. Her eyes lit up and she remarked, ¡°Water flows downwards. Water flows downwards. Could it be that he wants his true Qi to flow downwards and imitate the flow of water?¡± Thinking of this, she eagerly wanted to try it out. ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine, Senior Brother. Although Senior Sister Jian¡¯s personality is a bit cold, she¡¯s still quite a good person.¡± Miao Changsheng winked at Cheng Xu when he saw him. Cheng Xu was confused. ¡°What¡¯s this? What¡¯s going on? ¡± ¡°Hehe~ Senior Brother, don¡¯t pretend. You just stood there for so long and your eyes were peeled onto Senior Sister Jian the entire time. You barely read the technique, so you¡¯re obviously more interested in Senior Sister Jian ~!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu rolled his eyes. ¡°What are you thinking about? let¡¯s go up to the third floor and take a look!¡± In all honesty, it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to look at the Mystic Water technique, but that he didn¡¯t need to. It could only be said that being too powerful was also a kind of trouble, and it would easily cause misunderstandings. ¡°Alright, alright, alright.¡± Miao Changsheng chuckled as he followed him. As he went up, he didn¡¯t forget to look back at Jian Yuxiang. A sheepish smile appeared on his face. The upper three levels of the library cave were not very big, but the martial arts books and records inside were basically all exuding an ancient aura. ¡°This level is basically filled with the inheritances collected and left behind by the first generation of the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s patriarchs,¡± Miao Changsheng exined. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that many of the inheritances seem to be too profound and difficult to understand now. ¡± ¡°To be able to leave behind so many high-quality inheritances, it seems that the first-generation ancestors are not weak!¡± ¡°Not only were they not weak, but the Medicine Immortal Valley was also glorious in the past, okay? It¡¯s just that theter generations were not as good as the previous ones,¡± Miao Changsheng said. ¡°It was onlyter that they started to focus on alchemy.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly surprised, his gaze was inadvertently attracted by a ck stone tablet in the center of the third floor. The stone tablet was engraved with dense and mysterious characters, and it exuded a unique aura. However, that was not the main point. The main point was that the system option [ Read ] was floating above the stone tablet. ¡°That stone tablet is¡­?¡± ¡°You mean that?¡± Miao Changsheng exined, ¡°That is a stone tablet left behind by the founder of the sect. It is said that there is some kind of mysterious and powerful inheritance hidden in it. Unfortunately, other than the founder, no one has been able to understand the true meaning of it.¡± Cheng Xu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He strode to the stone tablet and pretended toprehend it. This was a familiar plot and routine. Wasn¡¯t this the kind of treatment that the main character of a novel would love to enjoy? It was a peerless martial art that had been lost for a long time. No one else except the protagonist could understand it. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡­¡± Miao Changsheng did not know whether tough or cry. Just as he was about to go up and persuade him to leave, a faint emerald light suddenly appeared on the dark stone tablet. ¡°What the hell! No way!¡± Chapter 12 Medicinal Truth At the same time, in the various cave abodes of the Medicine Immortal Valley, the older generation, led by Perfected Dan Yang, looked in the direction of the library cave. Other than Perfected Chi Yao, who was still refining medicine and couldn¡¯t get away, the rest of the big shots all rushed to the library cave. On the third floor of the library cave, Cheng Xu was going through a long reading process. On the other hand, Miao Changsheng was still in a deep state of confusion. He had just said that no one could understand the mysteries of the stone monument, and in the next second, his Senior Brother had awakened the stone monument that had been dormant for thousands of years. Before he could react, the elders led by Perfected Dan Yang swarmed in, followed by a group of disciples who were watching the show. ¡°Changsheng, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Perfected Dan Yang asked Miao Changsheng in a serious tone as he looked at the figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ Senior Brother seemed to have formed¡­ some sort of a resonance with Grandmaster¡¯s stone tablet,¡± Miao Changsheng said incoherently. Elder Ma, who had a sharp temperament and a moustache, frowned and asked, ¡°The boy that Senior Brother Chi Yao brought back a few days ago?¡± ¡°The abandoned disciple of the Yunzhong sect?¡± Another elder confirmed with a strange expression. ¡°Yes, him.¡± Miao Changsheng nodded. ¡°Senior Brother¡¯s name is Cheng Xu.¡± ¡°Second Senior Brother has picked up a treasure!¡± eximed Elder Feng who was bewildered. ¡°He can actually resonate with the stone tablet left by the patriarch? ¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Junior Brother Chi Yao? Didn¡¯t hee?¡± Perfected Dan Yang looked around and asked. ¡°Master is currently opening the furnace to refine medicine and is temporarily unable to leave,¡± Miao Changsheng said. Perfected Dan Yang nodded slightly and turned to look at the disciples gathered at the top of the stairs. ¡°Back off, all of you. No one is allowed to step into the upper third floor before he wakes up!¡± At the order of the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang, the upper third floor of the library cave was quickly cleared. Including Perfected Dan Yang himself, they all retreated to the second floor. They stared at the passage to the third floor and waited patiently. ¡°Sect Leader, Senior Brother can¡¯t have reallyprehended the inheritance left behind by the founding master, right?¡± Miao Changsheng was still in disbelief. ¡°Probably.¡± Perfected Dan Yang took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a never-before-seen light. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see Grandmaster¡¯s inheritance reappear in my lifetime.¡± ¡°The heavens are really blessing the Medicine Immortal Valley!¡± ¡°What blessing? it¡¯s clearly Grandmaster¡¯s blessing!¡± Elder Ma emphasized agitatedly. Elder Feng was filled with anticipation. ¡°I wonder what the ancestral master¡¯s inheritance looks like.¡± ¡°It¡¯s definitely not weak. When the founding master established the sect, our Medicine Immortal Valley was the number one sect in the mini Southern Heaven region.¡± ¡­ On the upper third floor of the library cave. Cheng Xu had not actually fallen into a deep sleep. He was just putting on an act. However, he had greatly underestimated the amount of information contained in the stone tablet. Even with the reading speed of 2MB per second of the Level 2 graphics card, he could not finish reading it even after a long time. ¡°Damn, how big is the data in this stone tablet? Don¡¯t tell me that I won¡¯t have enough hard disk space in the end?¡± The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more nervous he became. After making sure that the sect elders had all left, he silently activated the evil eye of ten thousandws. His eyes instantly turned into ck holes, and the graphics card¡¯s reading speed greatly increased. However, even when the Evil Eyes of 10,000 technique could no longer be maintained, he still could not finish reading the inheritance in the stone tablet. ¡°D*mn ~ the hard disk definitely can¡¯t fit!¡± Cheng Xu could only smile bitterly and helplessly at the thought of his remaining 400 MB of hard disk space. After a long time, the stone tablet in front of him suddenly bloomed with an enchanting emerald green light, illuminating the library cave. ¡°Ding! Readingplete.¡± Cheng Xu took a closer look and was stunned. [ Medicinal Technique ¨C Toxic Word mantra ] (125MB) [?Medicinal Technique ¨C Qi Word mantra ] (125MB) ¡°What¡¯s going on? there are only two inheritances with a total of 250MB in size, yet it took such a long time to read them?¡± The reading speed of a Level 2 graphics card was 2MB per second, and he had also activated the Evil Eyes of 10,000 technique in the middle of the process, so it was more than enough. As he pondered, Cheng Xu seemed to understand something. ¡°Could it be that the content of the data is too profound? yes, it must be so! There¡¯s no other exnation!¡± How should he describe it? It was like two sentences with the same number of words. Although they used the same number of words, the content and information contained werepletely different. For example, ¡°The Dao can be Dao, but it¡¯s not an ordinary Dao. It can be famous, but it¡¯s not.¡± The short 12 words contained thousands of great Dao. From this, it could be seen that the reading speed of the cultivationputer was not as simple as a few MB per second. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s still a big problem whether the instation will be sessful.¡± ¡°Whatever, let¡¯s install it first.¡± After saying that, he confirmed the instation without hesitation. In the next second, Cheng Xu was stunned on the spot, and his consciousness gradually began to blur. It was as if his brain was gradually beingpletely upied, leaving no space for his consciousness. ¡°What¡¯s going on? a system card. It¡­ it¡¯s dead¡­¡± Then, he fell into a deep sleep. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was night. On the upper second floor, the crowd still had not dispersed. Everyone was waiting patiently. The disciples from the various factions who had gathered after hearing the news clicked their tongues in wonder and discussed spiritedly. Then, a strong wave of water attribute energy fluctuation surged out from a corner, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Eh? it seems to be that girl Xiangxiang, right?¡± All the elders looked at Elder Ma in unison. Elder Ma was also delighted and remarked, ¡°This is a strong water attribute fluctuation, could it be that Xiangxiang hasprehended the second level of the ck Water technique? ¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk. That¡¯s double happiness!¡± Everyone gathered around curiously. At this time, Jian Yuxiang was still immersed in the joy ofprehending the second level of the Mystic Water technique. Seeing that the elders of the sect were all present, she couldn¡¯t help but be a little shocked. Although she was very outstanding, and it was indeed rare for her to master the second level of the Mystic Water technique, there was no need to make such a big fuss, right? ¡°Little girl, you¡¯veprehended the second level of the Mystic Water technique?¡± Elder Ma confirmed with joy. ¡°Master, I didn¡¯t let you down. Not only did Iprehend the second level of the Mystic Water technique, but I¡¯m also close to the third level.¡± ¡°Hahaha, good, good, good! As expected of my disciple!¡± The rest of the elders also sent their congrattions, but everyone¡¯s mind was obviously still preupied with the situation on the third floor. ¡°Speaking of which, I have to thank a Junior Apprentice-brother for being able to understand the profound mystery of the Mystic Water technique.¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s beautiful eyes looked at the crowd behind her, but she didn¡¯t see Cheng Xu¡¯s figure. ¡°Junior Brother Miao, where¡¯s Junior Brother Cheng? ¡± ¡°Uh, he¡­¡± Miao Changsheng did not know how to answer. Elder Ma and perfected Dan Yang were both taken aback. ¡°Uh, what does your understanding of the ck water charm have to do with Little Cheng?¡± ¡°At that time, Junior Brother Cheng was standing behind me and watching for a long time. Perhaps it was a casual sentence, but it sessfully enlightened me.¡± Jian Yuxiang could naturally see that everyone¡¯s expressions were not quite right. She couldn¡¯t help but ask weakly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? did something happen to Junior Brother Cheng? ¡± ¡°No.¡± Perfected Dan Yang and the others looked at each other with bewildered and strange expressions. ¡­ Several dayster, the library cave gradually returned to its normal pace. However, the upper third floor was still sealed by the restrictions of Perfected Dan Yang, and no one dared to step in. asionally, a few disciples would go over to take a look and click their tongues in wonder. On the other hand, the news of Jian Yuxiang¡¯s sess in the second and third levels of the Mystic Water technique had caused a huge stir among the younger generation of the Medicine Immortal Valley. In the eyes of most people, the champion of thepetition was basically set in stone. However, just a few days after the incident, news of Tang Xuan¡¯s sess in breaking through to the Foundation Building realm came. Thepetition half a monthter had suddenly be confusing. Cheng Xu did not know that he had crashed. Bah. After sleeping for so long, when he woke up, his beard had grown long. In a daze, he impatiently opened the cultivationputer desktop to look, but he didn¡¯t find the two spells. ¡°The instation failed as expected? ¡± Just as Cheng Xu was feeling a little regretful and opened the [ Alchemy ] application, ready to see the improvement progress of the Foundation Building elixir form, he was instantly stunned. On the [ Alchemy ] application page, a new entry was added: [ Alchemy ] [ Pharmacology level: Level 6 ] [ Refining ability: Intermediate ] [ Medicinal Technique ¨C Toxic Word mantra ] (125MB), [ Medicinal Technique ¨C Qi Word mantra ] (125MB) ¡­ He took another look at the hard disk space. It had indeed be 871MB/1024MB. From this, it could be seen that he was not dreaming. When his chaotic brain gradually cleared up, the information of the two sets of medicinalw incantations also appeared in his mind. ¡°Haha, I knew it!¡± Cheng Xuughed heartily. He then looked at the optimization of the Foundation Building Elixir¡¯s recipe. It had also beenpleted. In other words, he had slept for at least 11 or 12 days this time. Although it was a little long, it was definitely full of rewards. Especially those two medicinalw incantations, it simply refreshed his understanding. This was because from the two incantations of the medicinal method that he had mastered, this was actually a set of incantations-type spells that were constructed with medicinal methods as the foundation. Yes, you didn¡¯t hear wrong. This was a set of powerful spells specially designed for alchemists. Who said that alchemists weren¡¯t suited for battle? This set of medicinal mantra was the most powerful counterattack! However, ording to the information recorded in the stone tablet, the [ medicinalw mantra ] should be a set of nine-word mantras, and the stone tablet left behind by the founder only recorded two of the mantras: The Toxic Word mantra and the Qi Word mantra. However, the power of these two incantations was enough to make Cheng Xu excited. Among them, the [ poison ] mantra could poison the enemy across space, and at the same time, it could also be used on oneself, causing one¡¯s own attack to have a poisonous effect. The ¡®Qi¡¯ word of truth could affect the movement of the enemy¡¯s true Qi. When used on oneself, it could speed up the movement of one¡¯s own true Qi. ¡°Gulp¡­ Gulu¡­¡± The rumbling of his stomach pulled Cheng Xu back to reality, and his hunger struck him instantly. He hurriedly got up and went downstairs, only to find that the stairs leading to the second floor were tightly sealed by a restriction. ¡°What¡¯s the situation? You locked me up?¡± While he was still in shock, the master and disciple who were sleeping on the other side of the restrictive barrier were suddenly awakened. They were his master, Perfected Chi Yao, and his Junior Brother, Miao Changsheng. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re awake?!¡± Miao Changsheng was overjoyed. Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s face was also flushed with excitement, ¡°How is it? have youprehended the ancestor¡¯s inheritance?¡± ¡°I¡¯veprehended it thoroughly.¡± Cheng Xuughed dryly and nodded.¡±However, can you let me out first, Master?¡± Only now did Perfected Chi Yao react. ¡°Senior Brother was just afraid that you would be disturbed. I will immediately inform the sect master toe over.¡± ¡°Oh right, Junior Brother, can I trouble you to get me something to eat? Your Senior Brother here is starving.¡± ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Miao Changsheng immediately turned around to look for food. A momentter, the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s higher-ups, led by the sect leader, Daoist Master Dan Yang, arrived at the scene and hurriedly removed the restriction. Miao Changsheng also managed to find some food in time. A group of people just watched Cheng Xu gobble down the food. They were not in a hurry, but were afraid that Cheng Xu would choke. As the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang even handed him a bottle of fruit wine that he had treasured for many years. Chapter 13 Bing A Permanent Disciple In Advance ¡°Burp¨C!¡± Cheng Xu, who had eaten and drunk his fill, let out a burp. He was instantly refreshed and full of energy. ¡°Is there anything else that you need, Martial Nephew?¡± Perfected Dan Yang and the others looked at Cheng Xu expectantly. They had long since regarded him as a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley. As for the attitude of the Yunzhong sect, what did it have to do with them? ¡°Nothing else, burp ~!¡± Cheng Xu looked at the handsome old man in front of him and was secretly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the sect leader¡¯s disciples were not only good at fighting, but also had such an outstanding image. Given Senior Brother Tang¡¯s handsome figure, the sect leader¡¯s line of disciples should not only be talented but also good-looking. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then can you tell us what you¡¯veprehended from the ancestral master¡¯s stone tablet,?Martial Nephew?¡± Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s eyes glowed, and the other elders beside him also looked at him expectantly. ¡°Two Spells of Truth.¡± ¡°Spells of Truth?¡± Everyone was secretly surprised. The mustached elder¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I remember Master once mentioned that the Grandmaster used Spells of Truth to suppress all the major sects of mini Southern Heaven.¡± ¡°Little Martial Nephew, quick, quick, quick, tell us what kind of two spells are these?¡± Cheng Xu took a deep breath and said solemnly, ¡± I can only say that our ancestors were definitely geniuses blessed by the heavens. These two Spells of Truth are medicinalw incantations, and they are constructed with medicinal theory as the foundation. The higher one¡¯s attainments in medicinal theory, the more powerful the power of the incantations can be unleashed.¡± Everyone present gasped in shock. ¡°No wonder the founding master established the sect through alchemy.¡± ¡°So there¡¯s such a profound spell in the world!¡± ¡°It seems like it¡¯s not that alchemists are not suited for battle, but rather that we juniors are too slow-witted.¡± Cheng Xu added, ¡°However, it seems that there are only two incantations in that stone tablet. They are the ¡®poison¡¯ and ¡®Qi¡¯ incantations. By the way, are you sure that the Grandmaster only left this stone tablet behind?¡± ¡°There¡¯s indeed only this one piece. I¡¯m afraid that the founder didn¡¯t master theplete medicinal incantation back then,¡± said Perfected Dan Yang with absolute certainty. ¡°I see.¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel a little regretful. ¡°But even if it¡¯s just two Spells of Truth, it¡¯s enough to make the founder dominate the entire Southern Heaven. ¡°I wonder if Martial Nephew can write down the incantation of the medicinal mantra?¡± Perfected Dan Yang asked excitedly. For a moment, everyone looked at Cheng Xu with anticipation. Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. Firstly, the medicinal mantra was the inheritance of the Medicine Immortal Valley. Secondly, this group of Uncle Masters were also excellent alchemists, and could exert the power of the medicinal mantra, especially his master, Perfected Chi Yao. If he couldprehend the medicinal mantra, not only would he be able to take off thebel of being a weakling, he might even be able to soar into the sky and have explosivebat power! His current strength was still very weak, and he would inevitably have to rely on the care of his Uncle Masters in the future. But then again, even if he wrote down the incantation of the medicinal mantra, the Uncle Masters might not be able toprehend it. One had to know that he had crashed for more than ten days just to install two incantations! If an ordinary person didn¡¯t have anyprehension ability, it would be very difficult for them toprehend the medicinal mantra. In this way, under the silent anticipation of the crowd, Cheng Xu seriously engraved the two incantations of the medicinal mantra on a Jade slip and solemnly handed it to the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang. Perfected Dan Yang didn¡¯t waste any words and made a copy for each of his senior and junior brothers on the spot. ¡°Martial Nephew, Martial Nephew, you really are my Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s lucky star! From now on, you are a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± Perfected Dan Yang was grinning from ear to ear. ¡°As for the Yunzhong sect, the Uncle Masters will help you with it.¡± ¡°In the future, if you have any problems, just tell us directly. We guarantee that we¡¯ll arrange everything for you!¡± The other elders chimed in. Seeing this, Cheng Xu tried to ask, ¡°If you want to put it this way¡­ I really does have a matter that I need to trouble you with, Uncle Masters.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I wonder where I can get Earth Spirit Essences?¡± Cheng Xu asked. ¡°Earth Spirit Essences? Isn¡¯t that a material for forging? What do you want that for?¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was mumbling and didn¡¯t want to say anything, the Uncle Masters didn¡¯t force him. ¡°Earth Spirit Essences aren¡¯t verymon. We don¡¯t have any in the sect, but I think there are many in the Scorching Sun Sect. I¡¯ll leave this to Uncle Master. How much do you need?¡± Elder Ma patted his chest and promised. ¡°About ten should be enough.¡± ¡°How can 10 be enough? I¡¯ll give the Scorching Sun Sect some profit when I ce an order. I¡¯ll give you dozens of them.¡± Elder Ma waved his hand, exuding the aura of a business big shot. ¡°Do you have any other requests?¡± asked Perfected Dan Yang. ¡°No.¡± ¡°How about this¡­ I¡¯ve decided to give you 10,000 contribution points, which should be enough for you to spend for a long time.¡± As he spoke, he took out his elder¡¯s token and transferred 10,000 contribution points to Cheng Xu, causing him to be stunned. He had originally wanted to earn money through refining elixirs, but he did not expect to directly achieve financial freedom. ¡°That¡¯s right, Martial Nephew, Uncle Master just took a look at the incantation gesture. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able toprehend the true meaning within it for a while.¡± Spirit Herb Hall¡¯s Elder Feng muttered, ¡°¡±Come, cast two incantations on us and let us feel it.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be good, will it?¡± Cheng Xu said hesitantly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Do you think you can hurt us?¡± Perfected Dan Yang waved his hand and said with a smile. After that, the higher-ups of the Medicine Immortal Valley retreated a distance away and motioned for Cheng Xu to cast a spell on them. Cheng Xu took a deep breath, focused his mind, and circted the toxic word mantra before he spat it out. ¡°Poison!¡± His voice was as deep as an ancient bell, reverberating throughout the entire library cave. In an instant, the word ¡°toxic¡± in ancient seal script appeared out of thin air above Cheng Xu¡¯s head, exuding an ufortable and dangerous aura. In front of them, the faces of Perfected Dan Yang and the others all turned pale and their lips turned slightly purple. Since they wanted to feel the effect of the mantra, they didn¡¯t put up any defenses. Fortunately, their cultivation was profound, so the poison couldn¡¯t hurt them. ¡°Eh?¡± Cheng Xu, who had used the toxic word mantra, was also shocked. It was because the moment he used the mantra with the word ¡®poison¡¯, there seemed to be a strange power in his body that seemed to amplify the power of the mantra. ¡°Could it be a sound card? That¡¯s right, it must be a sound card!¡± At this thought, Cheng Xu was overjoyed. Then, he used the Qi word. ¡°Qi!¡± Along with Cheng Xu¡¯s low cry, an ancient seal character ¡± Qi ¡± suddenly appeared above his head. The faces of the crowd, who were in the midst of circting their cultivation techniques to neutralize the poison in their bodies, changed once more. The true Qi in their bodies began to surge uncontrobly, and at the same time, their old faces turned purple. ¡°Wow, this power is simply-!¡± Perfected Dan Yang, who had just recovered, was secretly shocked. ¡°If Senior Chi Yao can understand these two incantations, with his attainments in medicine, I¡¯m afraid evente-stage Golden Core realm cultivators might not be able to withstand it, right?¡± At the side, Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s eyes flickered. In the past, he had no interest in cultivation battles, but at this moment, he was very interested in the medicinal mantra. After all, this was a cultivation technique that was built on the foundation of medicine. He was very curious about the working principle of this technique. On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, he was immersed in the sound card¡¯s amplification of the mantra spell. ording to this logic, other sound-rted spells might also be enhanced by the sound card. Simrly, all eye-rted and vision-rted spells could also be enhanced by the graphics card. After that, Perfected Dan Yang and the others left in a hurry and went back to study the two medicinalw incantations. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng naturally followed Perfected Chi Yao back to the cave. ¡°Hahaha, you can now openly stay in the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± Perfected Chi Yao was extremely excited. ¡°With the power of those two incantations, you¡¯re basically in the bag for the test in half a month.¡± ¡°But we can¡¯t rx either. After all, Tang Xuan has already reached the Foundation Building realm,¡± Perfected Chi Yao muttered as he thought to himself. ¡°What? Senior Brother Tang has already reached the Foundation Building realm?¡± Cheng Xu was shocked by the news. ¡°Tang Xuan¡¯s talent is not bad. He has been at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage for more than half a year. It¡¯s expected that he will reach the Foundation Building real. But as long as you can raise your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, it¡¯s not impossible to take him down,¡± Perfected Chi Yaoughed and said. Cheng Xu secretly sighed with emotion. Why did it feel like ever since he came to the Medicine Immortal Valley, the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s disciples had started to show their strength? ¡°Alright, go back and cultivate. I¡¯ve asked Changsheng to prepare your cave for you. I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Perfected Chi Yao waved his hand, indicating for Cheng Xu and the other man to leave. ¡°I have to study these two medicinal incantations.¡± After leaving his master¡¯s cave abode, Cheng Xu was not in a hurry to go to his own cave. Instead, he went to the Merit Hall under Miao Changsheng¡¯s lead and exchanged his contribution points for 100,000 spirit stones. The exchange rate between contribution points and spirit stones was 1:25, so he only spent 4,000 contribution points. In this regard, Cheng Xu could only say one thing, ¡°The sect leader is generous.¡± Then, he was brought to the immortal¡¯s cave that his master had prepared for him. He could only say that being a direct disciple was indeed different. The living conditions here were much better than when he was in the Yunzhong sect. After sending Miao Changsheng off, he upgraded all the other configurations except for the hard disk to Level 3. It cost him a total of fifty thousand spirit stones. [ Motherboard: Cheng Xu ter stage of Qi Refinement stage) ] [ CPU: Spiritual Sense (Dual-Core 1.6Ghz) ] [ Memory: Perception (512Mb) ] [ Hard Drive: Sea Of Consciousness (1024Mb) ] [ Graphics Card: Evil Eyes Of 10,000 0.85 (1536Mb) ] [ Sound Card: Integrated 3.0 ] [ Network Card: Integrated 3.0 (30Mbps) ] Among them, what surprised Cheng Xu the most was the change brought about by the CPU upgrade. His spiritual power and spiritual will had greatly improved, and he had also gained the ability to split his attention. The changes to the cultivationputer were more direct. It could perform two tasks at the same time, such as refining two furnaces of medicinal pills at the same time and reading and installing two tasks at the same time. The entire experience was instantly different. On top of that, the graphics and sound cards had also improved the power of the Evil Eyes Of 10,000 and the medicinal mantra. However, after the pleasant surprise, a series of difficult problems followed. This was because every configuration from Level 3 onwards required 10,000 spirit stones and a special material to continue upgrading. There was no need to mention the Earth Spirit Essences needed to upgrade the hard drive to Level 4. The other materials needed for the other configurations were: [ CPU: Earth Spirit Milk ] [ Storage: Golden Gilt Sand ] [ Graphics Card: Rank Three Ghost-Eye Wolf King, Ghost Eye ] [ Sound Card: Blue Conch ] [ Web Card: Thunder Bamboo ] Of the five upgrade materials, the graphics card¡¯s upgrade materials were the most outrageous. Not only was it a Level 3 demonic beast, but it also had to be a Ghost-Eye?Wolf King. That was a demonic beast that was equivalent to an Golden Core stage cultivator. The video card upgrade required the Ghost-Eye?Wolf King¡¯s third eye. Then, there was the core spirit milk that the CPU needed. It was a priceless treasure, but at least there was still a chance to get it. Inparison, the other three materials were much more approachable. ¡°Is it because of the Evil Eyes Of 10,000?¡± After all, it was normal for an integrated graphics card to be a little more impressive after switching to a separate graphics card. However, looking at it from another perspective, the graphics card and CPU, as the most expensive hardware of aputer, didn¡¯t seem to be a problem. He remembered that before he transmigrated, when the big bosses of the card bar worked, their budget was basically spent on these two types of hardware. it seems like there¡¯s still a long way to go in the future! Cheng Xu sighed to himself, because he could feel that the materials needed to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 would be even more outrageous. As for the materials for upgrading after Level 5, he would not consider them for the next few decades or even a century. Chapter 14 Mock Competition After he came back to his senses, he looked at the optimized form for the Foundation Building Elixir. There was a line of small words at the bottom of the form page: It has been optimized to the limits of medicinal studies. That¡¯s right, after this round of optimization, the ancient form for the Foundation Building Elixir had been optimized to its limit. Thest rare material had finally been optimized and reced with a material that was rtively cheaper and familiar to the people. Overall, the cost of production was much lower than the beginning. But correspondingly, the new form also had higher requirements for the elixir refining technique and level of elixir refining. What he needed to do now was to reach the peak of the Qi Refinement stage as soon as possible, and then consider breaking through to the Foundation Building stage. Now that he had arge number of contribution points and spirit stones, he no longer needed to worry about spirit stones. He went to the floating Immortal City to cancel the remaining rent of the quiet room and found that Yue Wanling, who was next door, had also left. ¡­ Half a month passed by in a sh. There was only one day left until thepetition. Cheng Xu was immersed in high-intensity cultivation every day. With the support of the Glorious Crimson Sutra and the supreme-grade Qi Condensation pill, he finally managed to rush to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage on the day before thepetition. The true Qi in his sea of consciousness had already been cultivated to its limit, and he was only one step away from condensing it into a more noble true essence! In fact, the peak of Qi Refinement stage was actually the limit of theter stage of Qi Refinement stage. After reaching the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, he could no longer increase his true Qi and began to prepare for the Foundation Building stage. A few days ago, his master, Perfected Chi Yao, had personally helped him and Miao Changsheng refine a Supreme-grade Foundation Building Elixir. He had told them to use the Foundation Building Elixir to break through to the Foundation Building stage after they had a certain level of confidence. In this half a month, the name Cheng Xu had beenpletely integrated into the big family of the Medicine Immortal Valley. In addition, Elder Ma of the merit Hall also kept his promise and sent his disciple, Jian Yuxiang, to personally deliver 50 Earth Spirit Essences. He had sessfully upgraded the hard disk of the cultivationputer to 2GB, and the hard disk space had been further expanded. As for the requirements for the next level, it was simr to what Cheng Xu had expected. It required 100000 spirit stones and a piece of mysterious Earth Crystal. At the current stage, there was no need to even think about using the mystic soil crystal as a top-grade forging material for the Golden Core stage. tomorrow is the test. I¡¯ll first go to the library cave to read some alchemy books. While improving my alchemy skills, I can also improve the power of the medicinalw incantation. Just as she was about to get up and head to the library cave, a young girl with a graceful figure and a cold face walked in. It was Senior Sister Jian Yuxiang. Perhaps sensing Cheng Xu¡¯s peak Qi Refinement stage aura, Jian Yuxiang smiled and congratted him, ¡°¡±Congrattions, Junior Brother Cheng.¡± ¡°Senior Sister, is there something you need me for?¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand with a smile and asked doubtfully. ¡°I wanted to see how Junior Brother¡¯s preparations were going, but it seems I was overthinking.¡± ¡°With Junior Brother¡¯s strength at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, you should be able to get a pretty good ranking.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled lightly. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. Did shee to him just to say this? ¡°Also¡­¡± Jian Yuxiang wanted to say something but stopped. Sure enough, there was something else. ¡°Senior Sister, please speak.¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve always been curious. How did you see the key to the Mystic Water technique that day?¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes were fixed on Cheng Xu, full of curiosity. ¡°Ahem. Ahem, this¡­ Maybe it¡¯s because the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the yer. Besides, I¡¯m a pretty good person.¡± ¡°The onlooker sees the game more clearly than the yer?¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded her head thoughtfully and immediately continued to ask for guidance. She formed a seal with her bare hands and condensed a stream of water that flowed freely in front of her. ¡°I¡¯ve been familiarizing myself with the use of the Mystic Water technique these few days. Although I¡¯ve sessfully mastered the third level of the technique, I still feel like I¡¯mcking something.¡± Cheng Xu stared at the water flow for a while and quickly discovered Jian Yuxiang¡¯s problem. First, he pretended to ponder over it for a while, and then he exined the problem in a tactful way, ¡°I don¡¯t know much about water maniption, but I¡¯m still very familiar with things like water. Senior Sister, why don¡¯t you go and observe the natural waters? Perhaps it can solve your doubts.¡± ¡°Natural water?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Water doesn¡¯t just stay dynamic, it also has a quiet and still side. In my opinion, Senior sister¡¯s water control technique might be a little too hasty,¡± Cheng Xu analyzed, pretending to be hesitant. ¡°It seems that I have found the right person.¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded her head profoundly. Junior Brother Cheng really knows the ck water chant better than I do. ¡°Uh, Senior Sister, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Cheng Xu hurriedly waved his hand. ¡°I was just joking. If I really tried toprehend it, I might not be able toprehend the Mystic Water technique.¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes contained a deep meaning as she smiled, ¡°I look forward to Junior Brother¡¯s performance tomorrow.¡± After he finished speaking, she left the cave abode while pondering over what Cheng Xu had just said. Cheng Xu looked at Jian Yuxiang¡¯s departing figure and recalled the meaningful look in her eyes when she left. He frowned secretly. ¡°By the way, could this girl have already guessed that I know the Mystic Water technique?¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t think too much about it. If he guessed it, so be it. It wasn¡¯t a big deal. He then ran to the library and began to read the alchemy books. After reading it all in one go, the level of [ potion crafting ] increased even more. However, the increase this time was not as great as before. [Alchemy] [Pharmacology level: Level 7] [Refining ability: intermediate] His Pharmacology level had only increased by one level, but his refining ability was still at the intermediate level. it seems that the increase in quantity is not enough. The quality has to keep up. At the thought of this, Cheng Xu immediately turned to the advanced alchemy manual area and began to read the data frantically. After the CPU was upgraded to dual-core, it could read two files at the same time. In addition, the reading speed of the graphics card had increased after Level 3, so the reading efficiency had greatly improved. Unknowingly, it was the next day. The entire library cave was already empty, and everyone had already gathered at thepetition venue. After making sure that no one was around, Cheng Xu activated his evil eye and read all the remaining books in the advancement zone. When he looked at the [Alchemy] application, it had already expanded to an unprecedented 735.9 MB. Excluding the 250MB of the medicinal mantra, it had a total of 485.9 MB of file size. And this time, his [Alchemy] application had finally received a major upgrade. [Alchemy] [Pharmacology level: level 9] [Refining ability: advanced ] Cheng Xu could clearly feel that his understanding and standard of alchemy had made a huge leap. ¡°Looking at the time, the test should have already started, right?¡± Walking out of the library, he walked confidently toward thepetition venue. ¡­ All the members of the entire Medicine Immortal Valley had gathered in the venue, and the scene was very lively. When Cheng Xu arrived, the match had just begun. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re finally here. Come,e,e, sit here ~!¡± Miao Changsheng quickly gestured for Cheng Xu to sit beside him. Cheng Xu sat down, puzzled. ¡°Master didn¡¯te? ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll be able toe out for a while. You know, ever since Master got the medicinal mantra, it¡¯s like he¡¯s been possessed.¡± Miao Changsheng sighed. Cheng Xu nodded slightly. ¡°Speaking of which, what are the rules of thispetition? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s simple. Do you see the ten circles marked in the middle? Contestants are free to fight within them. Thest person standing in each of the circle will be among the top ten and enjoy the treatment that the top ten candidates enjoy. The rest of the disciples can only enjoy the standard treatment.¡± ¡°?!¡±Cheng Xu was slightly stunned. ¡®Good Lord, it¡¯s just an alchemy sect, why are they ying so wildly?¡¯ ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go up and reserve a seat as soon as possible?¡± Cheng Xu asked, puzzled. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Right now, there are only somete-stage Qi cultivating disciples on the field. It¡¯s not my turn yet.¡± Ever since Miao Changsheng reached the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, he was much more confident than before. ¡°Besides, I was waiting for you, Senior Brother.¡± Cheng Xu muttered to himself and nodded. He turned his gaze to the seats around the venue and found that Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang, the two favorites who were expected to win the championship, were both looking at him. It was not just them. The Medicine Immortal Valley heavenly group, led by the sect leader, Dan Yang, was also looking at him. They were obviously looking forward to his performance. ¡°By the way, Senior Brother, do you want to y in the first arena?¡± ¡°That¡¯s natural.¡± Cheng Xu smiled confidently. On the other side, perhaps sensing Cheng Xu¡¯s arrival, Tang Xuan no longer hesitated. He jumped into the arena and stood on the first ring. As soon as the Foundation Establishment stage aura was released, the contestants on the side retreated one after another. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, can youe up and let me feel your medicinal mantra?¡± Tang Xuan knew who his opponent was, so he directly sent an invitation to Cheng Xu. For a moment, the entire arena was filled with excitement. Even many of the contestants who were fighting stopped and watched. Cheng Xu naturally wouldn¡¯t want to dampen everyone¡¯s spirits. He smiled confidently and jumped into the ring. ¡°Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Senior Brother Tang. Please give me your guidance.¡± Tang Xuan stared at Chen Xu. A month ago, he would never have thought that this Junior Brother who had just entered the sect would be his biggestpetitor. ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re too polite. This is a separate matter. Since we¡¯re going to spar, there¡¯s no need to hide it. I¡¯d like to witness the power of the ancestor¡¯s inheritance!¡± Tang Xuan¡¯s fighting spirit rose. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to offend you, Junior Brother!¡± Cheng Xu was joking on the surface, but he didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After all, Tang Xuan was already in the Foundation Establishment?stage. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, watch out!¡± Tang Xuan didn¡¯t waste any more time and attacked first. His eyes shed and an exquisite flying sword appeared in front of him. Under the control of a spell seal, it transformed into a golden sword light and shot toward Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu was shocked. He did not expect Tang Xuan to use a sword. He activated his third-level Protective Dipper energy and charged forward with the Setting Sun Finger. ng! The energy of the Setting Sun Finger was easily dispersed by the flying sword, and it pierced the shield of dipper energy. Cheng Xu subconsciously began to retreat. The Protective Dipper energy in front of him gradually cracked, and he was secretly surprised. ¡°Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment stage?¡± Seeing that his Protective Dipper energy could no longer hold on, Cheng Xu no longer hesitated and lightly spat out the medicinal mantra. ¡°Qi!¡± In the next moment, an ancient seal character ¡°Qi¡±rger than a human appeared above Cheng Xu. The character was condensed from genuine Qi and exuded a daunting aura. Tang Xuan, who was controlling the flying sword, turned pale with fright. The true energy in his body began to surge uncontrobly, and his control of the flying sword was also interrupted. At the same time, Perfected Dan Yang and the other elders in the spectator area also widened their eyes. This was because the Qi word above Cheng Xu¡¯s head was now many timesrger than before. ¡°Damn, how did the power of martial nephew Cheng¡¯s medicinalw incantation increase so much all of a sudden?¡± ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. It¡¯s only been half a month. How could his alchemy level have improved so much? ¡± ¡°Could it be that he was holding back when he used it on usst time?¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, I¡¯m afraid little Tang can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± In the seat behind Elder Ma, Jian Yuxiang stared at the situation on the field, her expression uncertain. ¡°Is this the power of the medicinal mantra? It¡¯s worthy of being the inheritance left behind by the ancestor.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he didn¡¯t have any talent in alchemy, he really wanted to learn this medicinal mantra. Chapter 15 Winning the Championship Easily In the ring, Tang Xuan¡¯s face was red from the pain. Just when everyone thought that Tang Xuan was going to lose, he suddenly let out a roar and surprisingly suppressed the true energy disturbance brought by the Qi word mantra. ¡°I see!¡± Tang Xuan seemed to have realized something as heughed out loud. ¡°The effects of this medicinal mantra can actually be suppressed and resolved with medicine!¡± As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned. Even Cheng Xu was stunned on the spot. The core principle of the medicinal mantra was pharmacology, so naturally, he could also use pharmacology to resolve the effects of the medicinal mantra. Which was also to say that the medicinalw incantation¡¯s effect on alchemists would be greatly reduced. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party¡¯s alchemist knew how to use medicinal knowledge to resolve it. Otherwise, there was no difference between them and other cultivators. Senior Brother Tang is indeed amazing. You can actually think of using medicinal theory to resolve the influence of the medicinalw incantation. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but give Tang Xuan a thumbs up. Tang Xuan had also regained his confidence. With a wave of his hand, the flying swords that were scattered on the ground flew back to him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Junior Brother Cheng. It seems that your medicinal mantra has limited effect on me!¡± As he spoke, he controlled the flying sword to stab Cheng Xu again. Knowing the power of the flying sword, Cheng Xu no longer held back. A poison incantation appeared above his head. Tang Xuan instantly entered a poisoned state. He tried to use medicine to dissolve the strange poison in his body while controlling the flying sword to shoot toward Cheng Xu. However, just as the flying sword was about to hit Cheng Xu, a stream of water suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly swirled to form a stream of water that wrapped around the flying sword. The flying sword that was stuck in the water current was forcibly suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward any further as the force of the swirling water current continuously dissipated. ¡°What?¡± Tang Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief. In the spectator area, Perfected Dan Yang and the other elders could not help but stand up. ¡°That is¡­ The Mystic Water Technique?¡± ¡°Martial Nephew Cheng has actually mastered the Mystic Water Technique, this ¡­ How is that possible?¡± ¡°Impossible. He¡¯s only been in the sect for a month, and it took him more than ten days toprehend the medicinal mantra. Where did he find the time toprehend the Mystic Water Technique? ¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as simple as the Mystic Water Technique!¡± Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s eyes flickered wildly. ¡°Judging from his precise control of water and the power disyed by the water flow, he is at least at the second level of the Mystic Water Technique.¡± Hearing this, everyone looked at Jian Yuxiang in unison. However, Jian Yuxiang was staring at Cheng Xu on the stage and mumbling to herself, ¡°I knew it! Junior Brother Cheng has also mastered the Mystic Water Technique! ¡°What do you mean, girl? you mean when Martial Nephew Cheng enlightened you, he alreadyprehended the Mystic Water Technique?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid so,¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded her head firmly. ¡°Only someone who has truly understood the Mystic Water Technique can point out my problem with one sentence.¡± Although she had expected this, she was still shocked when she saw Cheng Xu use the Mystic Water Technique. She could feel that Cheng Xu¡¯s level ofprehension of the Mystic Water Technique was far above hers. ¡°My God, what kind of monster did Senior Brother Chi Yao pick up?¡± ¡°A disciple with such a heaven-defyingprehension ability was actually expelled from the Yunzhong sect? Simply too much!¡± ¡°Hisprehension is too mysterious. Moreover, Martial Nephew Cheng was only an outer sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect before, so he didn¡¯t have any decent inheritances. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t show his brilliance.¡± Spirit Herb Hall¡¯s Elder Feng analyzed. ¡°Tsk, tsk. I can only say that the Yunzhong sect has no foresight. They¡¯ve just let the Medicine Immortal Valley have it!¡± ¡°I can already see the dawn of the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s rise!¡± ¡°This kid will definitely be a great person in the future!¡± While he was secretly excited, Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s eyes flickered.¡±Does this mean that our Medicine Immortal Valley can participate in the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament half a yearter?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, how could I forget about the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament!¡± ¡°By the way, how many years has it been since our Medicine Immortal Valley has participated in the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament?¡± ¡°The tournament is held once every three years. I guess there have been at least dozens of tournaments that I haven¡¯t participated in.¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, thest time we participated, it was us old guys. Although we were beaten a little badly, we still showed the glory of our Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± ¡­ On the stage, Tang Xuan had started to doubt his life. He wanted to control the flying sword toe back, but he found that the flying sword was wrapped tightly by the water current and couldn¡¯t be pulled back at all. ¡°You¡¯ve really hidden it well, Junior Brother. You¡¯ve actually managed to cultivate the Mystic Water Technique without anyone knowing.¡± Tang Xuan suppressed the poison in his body with great difficulty. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t retrieve his flying sword, he could only use a spell to attack. He quickly formed a seal with his hands and condensed a circle of fist-sized fireballs behind him. Then, under his control, they smashed toward Cheng Xu one after another. Hu! Hu! Hu! One fireball after another followed. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t panic at all. He used the Mystic Water Technique to create ayer of water curtain for defense, which collided with the fireballs and produced clouds of steam. Seeing that his moves were ineffective against Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan could only brace himself and fly forward to engage in closebat with Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu had a sh of inspiration and immediately used the Qi word mantra on himself. The speed of the true Qi in his body increased greatly, and his attributes in all aspects were greatly improved. The Tiger Subduing Fist and Tang Xuan shed head-on. With the support of the martial arts theoretical data, the Tiger Subduing Fist was no longer the same as before. In addition to the support of the Qi word, he was actually able to fight back and forth with Tang Xuan, who was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and not be at a disadvantage. ¡°So the medicinal mantra can be used like this?¡± While Tang Xuan was secretly surprised, his lips curled into a smile. ¡°But how long can your true Qist in the state of elerated cirction? ¡± Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything. After receiving Tang Xuan¡¯s palm strike in a close call, moist water instantly gathered around his body as he swung out the Tiger Subduing Fist with all his might. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Brother Tang!¡± The moment he swung the Tiger Subduing Fist,?the water vapor around him quickly condensed into a surging water current. He didn¡¯t have much true Qi to continue fighting, but it wasn¡¯t a problem for him to win this match with the remaining true Qi. Although Tang Xuan managed to block the damage with his Protective Dipper energy in time, he was still sent flying by the terrifying water current, staggering out of the ring. For a moment, the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples were in an uproar. After all, Cheng Xu was only at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, but he had sessfully defeated Tang Xuan, who was in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm. ¡°Fine~ I finally understand.¡± Tang Xuan stabilized himself with great difficulty. Junior Brother Cheng is not a normal person at all. He¡¯s a monster! ¡°Thanks for letting me win.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and cupped his fists. Tang Xuan waved his hand and smiled bitterly. The power contained in the water flow was still vivid in his mind. the Mystic Water Technique that Junior Brother just used is probably even stronger than Junior Sister Jian¡¯s. But I don¡¯t understand how you managed toprehend the Mystic Water Technique to this extent in such a short time. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s fate. Anyway, I only read it a few times before Iprehended it.¡± Cheng Xu was humble bragging. As soon as he said that, the entire ce fell silent. ¡°¡­¡± The corner of Tang Xuan¡¯s mouth twitched as he shook his head. He turned to look at Jian Yuxiang in the spectator area, ¡°Junior Sister Jian, do you want toe up and have a match with Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled faintly and said, ¡°I won¡¯t go and get myself humiliated. Please recover as soon as possible.¡± Tang Xuan was speechless. He took a few pills and started to recover. Cheng Xu stood proudly in the first arena, enjoying the attention of the crowd. Throughout the entire tournament, no one dared to challenge Cheng Xu. Instead, the other nine rings were in a heated battle. In the end, Cheng Xu was tired from standing in the ring. Only the battle between Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang had piqued his interest. Needless to say, Jian Yuxiang¡¯sprehension ability was still good. Yesterday¡¯s guidance had an obvious effect. Although her grasp of the Mystic Water Technique was a little worse than his, it was already very powerful. After an intense battle, he still lost to Tang Xuan, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage. After all, Jian Yuxiang wasn¡¯t like him, who was covered in clothes. In the end, Cheng Xu won the tournament without any suspense. Tang Xuan was second, Jian Yuxiang was third, and there were seven other good senior and junior brothers. It was worth mentioning that even though Miao Changsheng had a difficult time winning, he still managed to take the 10th ce. ¡°Congrattions ~!?I hereby announce that the test hase to a sessful end.¡± ¡°Congrattions to the ten outstanding disciples on the stage. You are the pride of the Medicine Immortal Valley and the future of the valley!¡± The sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang, announced the end of the tournament in an impassioned manner, unable to hide the joy on his face. ¡°Now that the demonic Dao is stirring, my Medicine Immortal Valley can no longer sit still and wait for death.¡± After that, it was time for the award ceremony. However, the award ceremony was interrupted by a flying sword that pierced through the air. For a moment, the originally jubnt venue instantly quieted down. The sect leader, Daoist Master Dan Yang, caught the flying sword in confusion. It was a verymon flying sword used to send messages. The material was rough and basically had no killing power. ¡°Where did the lettere from?¡± Elder Ma, Elder Feng, and the others stepped forward. ¡°Fellow Daoist Tayun of the Yunzhong sect,¡± Looking at the words carved on the flying sword, Perfected Dan Yang frowned. ¡°Hiss¡­ The sect leader of the Yunzhong sect personally sent a flying sword to me. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a small matter.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Perfected Dan Yang nodded solemnly. He immediately removed the special restriction on the flying sword and sent his divine sense into it to check the message inside. Cheng Xu and the other disciples looked at immortal Danyang with curiosity. A momentter, after reading the news, immortal Dan Yang said with a grave expression, ¡°ording to the investigation of the Yunzhong sect, demonic cultivators have begun to move around in various ces in mini Southern Heaven. They¡¯ve invited the sect leaders of various sects to discuss the follow-up countermeasures.¡± ¡°So fast?¡± Elder Feng was secretly shocked. ¡°It¡¯s indeed much faster than we expected.¡± ¡°I have a feeling that the demonic Dao is definitely prepared this time,¡± Perfected Dan Yang said with a serious expression. After that, he gave a simple exnation of the sect to the elders and hurriedly left on his sword. The award ceremony, which should have been a happy one, ended hastily. After the gathering, Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and the others went to the cave abode together. ¡°What should havee hase, but I didn¡¯t expect it toe so quickly.¡± Jian Yuxiang sighed with worry. ¡°Speaking of which, where did that group of demonic cultivatorse from? Didn¡¯t the major sects notice anything before this?¡± Cheng Xu was deeply puzzled by this. It was as if the demonic Dao had suddenly appeared out of thin air, and none of the major sects in mini Southern Heaven had noticed it. ¡°You guys don¡¯t know.¡± Tang Xuan took over after hearing Jian Yuxiang¡¯s words and exined, ¡°The demonic Dao isn¡¯t a cultivator of our Southern Heaven, but rather, it spread from outside of Southern Heaven.¡± ¡°A ce outside of little Southern Heaven?¡± Cheng Xu, Miao Changsheng, and the rest of the group were shocked. Chapter 16 Joint Training ¡°The cultivation world is vast and boundless. Our mini Southern Heaven is just a small corner of it. Cultivation grounds like ours, which are dominated by the righteous path, will always be coveted by the surrounding demonic paths,¡± Tang Xuan nodded and said. ¡°So there are other cultivation grounds?¡± Miao Changsheng eximed in surprise. While Cheng Xu was secretly surprised, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder, ¡°How did Senior Tang and Jian Yuxiang know all this?¡± Tang Xuan chuckled and exined, ¡°Junior Sister Jian and I are both from aristocratic cultivation families. We have a deeper understanding of the cultivation world than you. The elders in our families have basically all experienced the turmoil of the demonic dao.¡± ¡°No wonder,¡± said Cheng Xu who was enlightened. ¡°I can only say that our generation is experiencing this at the wrong time. We¡¯ve just started cultivating, and we¡¯ve already encountered the chaos of the demonic Dao.¡± Tang Xuan sighed, his face full of worry. ¡°I really hope that we can still be together when the chaos is over.¡± Hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly became sad. ¡­ In Mini Southern Heaven, a mountain range within the clouds, Cloud Treading Peak. The residence of the sect leader of the Yunzhong sect. The leaders of the various sects of mini Southern Heaven arrived one after another and gathered together to discuss the big n. Their leader, Daoist Tayun, was a Sage-like middle-aged man. At this moment, he was exining the devil Dao¡¯s actions to the heads of the various sects with a serious expression. The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive and quiet. ¡°This time, the demonic cultivators areing with great momentum. We should make preparations in advance. May I ask all the sect leaders present, is the alliance agreement between the various sects still in effect?¡± Perfected Tayun asked directly. The leaders of the various sects looked at each other and nodded. ¡°Now that the demonic Dao has returned, it will naturally be effective.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Daoist Master Tayun nodded in relief. ¡°However, it¡¯s a problem as to which faction should lead the Alliance. If each faction fights for themselves, wouldn¡¯t they be a pile of loose sand?¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy. Thest alliance was led by the Scorching Sun sect. This time, we will live up to your expectations!¡± The middle-aged man with a full beard said righteously. He was the sect leader of the Scorching Sun sect, Hu Yanlie. ¡°Brother Yanlie, you¡¯re wrong. As the saying goes, the Wheel of Fortune always turns.¡± The Divine Luo Hall Master expressed his dissatisfaction. ¡°In the past, the Alliance was led by the leaders of the four sects in turns. Since you led the Alliancest time, it¡¯s natural that the other sects should lead this time¡±. ¡°In my opinion, the Yunzhong sect is the most powerful among the four sects, so it¡¯s most appropriate for the Yunzhong sect to lead the group.¡± The Wondrous Spell sect¡¯s sect leader said. ¡°Interesting ~ since when did your sect method stand on the same side as the Yunzhong sect?¡± The hall Master of the Divine Luo Hall said in a sarcastic tone. ¡°My sect only recognizes strength.¡± The sect leader of?Wondrous Spell?sect replied calmly. The meeting was at a stalemate. Perfected Tayun seemed to have expected this and immediately suggested,¡±In my opinion, why don¡¯t we let the younger generation make the decision for the alliance leader?¡± ¡°Oh, what¡¯s the decision?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the martial artspetition that happens once every three years in half a year? At that time, the position of Alliance leader will go to whoever wins first ce.¡± that¡¯s a good idea. After all, young people are the hope of the future. Regarding this, the various sect leaders expressed their approval. ¡°However, the younger generation of the various sects have yet toe into contact with the demonic Dao. What I mean is, why don¡¯t we organize the younger generation of the various sects first and let theme into contact with the demonic Dao in the name of investigation? what do you think, Fellow Daoists?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it too early?¡± the hall Master of the divine gaze Hall asked hesitantly. Right now, there aren¡¯t many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators among the younger generation of the various sects. If we let them face the demonic path right now, I¡¯m afraid the casualties won¡¯t be small.¡± ¡°They will have to face it sooner orter, why not let them know the horror of the demonic path earlier?¡± ¡°Daoist Tayun¡¯s words are reasonable,¡± let theme into contact with the demonic path earlier,¡± the sect leader of the wondrous spell sect agreed. ¡°Not only can they temper their minds, but they can also feel the danger. It¡¯s better than living in the ivory tower all the time.¡± ¡°I also think that it¡¯s reasonable. It¡¯s time for the younger generation to temper themselves.¡± Perfected Dan Yang said in agreement. As soon as he said that, the heads of the sects all looked at Perfected Dan Yang. ¡°Uh, there¡¯s no need for that in the Medicine Immortal Valley, right?¡± The sect leader of the Scorching Sun sect said with a strange expression. ¡°What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Yanlie? Are you looking down on the younger generation of the Medicine Immortal Valley?¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t mean it that way,¡± the sect leader of the Scorching Sun sect hurriedly exined, ¡°It¡¯s just that this kind of dangerous matter isn¡¯t too suitable for you alchemists to participate.¡± Perfected Dan Yang was so angry that he almost choked. then why did you call me here? ¡± ¡°Ahem, although alchemists aren¡¯t good at fighting, they still have their own value.¡± ¡°We invited Daoist Dan Yang here because we hope that the Medicine Immortal Valley will provide some support in the logistics of medicinal pills,¡± the Yunzhong sect tried to smooth things over. ¡°¡­¡± Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s face turned sullen. In the end ~ he¡¯s still looking down on the Medicine Immortal Valley! ¡°I really didn¡¯t.¡± Daoist Tayun exined helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t care. The Medicine Immortal Valley must participate in this.¡± Perfected Dan Yang mmed the table and stood up. He snorted and said, ¡°Otherwise, forget about medicinal pills, there¡¯s nothing at all.¡± ¡°Daoist Dan Yang, why are you so agitated? ¡± the wondrous spell sect¡¯s sect leader said. ¡°it¡¯s for the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s own good that we didn¡¯t let you participate.¡± that¡¯s right, Daoist Dan Yang. Your medicine immortal Valley doesn¡¯t have many people. Any one of you will suffer a great loss. Why do you have to do this? ¡± Perfected Dan Yang was unmoved. Seeing how stubborn Perfected Dan Yang was, the crowd looked at each other and could only agree helplessly. ¡°Fine. Since you insist, then we¡¯ll count you in as a Medicine Immortal Valley disciple.¡± Perfected Tayun sighed helplessly. ¡°That¡¯s more like it ~¡± Perfected Dan Yang was satisfied.¡±With my Medicine Immortal Valley disciples apanying you, do you think your disciples will becking in pills?¡± To this, the leaders of the various sects could only smile and nod. At least, in their opinion, a Medicine Immortal Valley disciple would be a burden to the team. It would be more practical to just provide them with pills. ¡°Let¡¯s make this clear in advance. If anything happens to the disciples of the Medicine Immortal Valley, you can me it on our disciples.¡± The hall Master of the divine gaze Hall warned him in advance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this old man wants face!¡± ¡­ Cheng Xu, who had returned to his cave abode, ced the reward for the champion of thepetition in front of him, his heart filled with emotions. The Medicine Immortal Valley was indeed a thousand-year-old alchemy sect. Their family background was indeed extraordinary. At this moment, in front of him were three legendary tendon and marrow cleansing pills, and they were of the highest quality. It wasn¡¯t that this elixir was very high-end, but the core main ingredient to refine this elixir had long been extinct. It was almost impossible to refine the tendon and marrow cleansing elixir again. The effect of this elixir was very simple, which was to wash the muscles and change the marrow, and improve the body. Not only could it increase the sess rate of Foundation Establishment, but it could also increase the sess rate of core formation in the future. It was definitely a rare divine medicine. ¡°Tsk, tsk, I wonder how many good things are there in the sect¡¯s treasure vault?¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly sighing with emotion, he took the first tendon and marrow cleansing pill with anticipation. The truth was that the effects of the marrow and tendon cleansing pill did not disappoint him. Cheng Xu could only feel a gentle and warm medicinal power flowing through his body, washing away the impurities in his body and improving his physique. After taking one pill, ayer of stinky ck oil appeared on Cheng Xu¡¯s body, making him feel nauseated. He quickly used the ck water technique to cover his body and wash away the impurities. ¡°No wonder you can only enter the outer sect of the Yunzhong sect. It turns out that there are so many impurities in this body, and your physique is so poor.¡± His body after purification felt carefree from the inside out. For the people on earth who were generally in sub-health in his previous life, Cheng Xu had never experienced this feeling. Then, he took the second and the third one. The second one still had a lot of impurities, but it was obviously less than the first one. After the third pill, there were basically no impurities left. After he was done, he activated the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ].It was smooth and unobstructed. It was as if every Meridian had been coated with ayer of lubricant. Whether it was spiritual energy or true energy, they were all flying when they circted. It was a pity that he had just reached the peak of the Qi refining stage, and the true Qi in his sea of consciousness was not pure enough. It was not the time to break through to the Foundation Building stage. Only by continuing to practice andpressing his true Qi to a certain purity could he possibly condense true energy and step into the Foundation Building stage. ¡°Senior Brother ~ Senior Brother, uncle sect leader has summoned us!¡± Miao Changsheng barged into the cave abode in shock. Looking at how energetic he was, the effects of the three low-grade tendon and marrow cleansing pills should be pretty good. ¡°Uncle sect leader is back?¡± Cheng Xu got up, puzzled. ¡°He came back yesterday. Didn¡¯t he gather us this morning? It¡¯s probably about the chaos in the demonic Dao,¡± Miao Changsheng said. Cheng Xu nodded slightly and followed Miao Changsheng to the outside of Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s cave abode. At this time, dozens of medicine immortal Valley disciples had arrived, including Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang. Because the disciples who were not in the top ten of thepetition had all received a low-grade tendon and marrow cleansing pill, at a nce, the disciples were obviously much more energetic than before. ¡°Is everyone here?¡± Perfected Dan Yang looked around and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ve gathered all of you here today to make an announcement.¡± Perfected Dan Yang paused and continued, ¡°In order to deal with the chaos caused by the demonic sects, the various sects have decided to reunite with the righteous Alliance of mini Southern Heaven. They have also organized the younger generation of disciples to train and head to various ces in mini Southern Heaven to investigate the traces of the demonic sects. As soon as he said that, the disciples present all gasped. After all, they were all young cultivators who had juste out of the sect. They would have to face the demonic path immediately, so it was inevitable that they would be nervous. ¡°When do we set off?¡± Tang Xuan asked. ¡°We¡¯ll leave tomorrow morning.¡± the level of danger in this experiential learning is unknown, ¡± Perfected Dan Yang said with a serious expression. I hope you can be mentally prepared. Hearing this, many of the disciples revealed a look of fear. ¡°For this experiential learning, five people will form a group, and the disciples of each sect will form a group. When the timees, you are free to form a team.¡± Ignoring the fear of his disciples, Perfected Dan Yang continued, ¡°¡±I hope you can live in harmony with the disciples of the various sects. In the future, you will have to fight side by side with the various sects.¡± ¡°Alright, go back and prepare. Come to my ce tomorrow morning.¡± After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal for the disciples to disperse. ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. We¡¯repletely finished this time!¡± On the way back, Miao Changsheng was in a state of panic. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°Didn¡¯t youe into contact with demonic cultivators on the Yuntai Mountain before? What¡¯s there to be nervous about?¡± ¡°At that time, I had master¡¯s protection, so there was naturally nothing to be afraid of.¡± Miao Changsheng pulled a long face. we don¡¯t have any elders to protect us this time. We have to rely on ourselves. ¡°I¡¯m just investigating the traces of the demonic path. If I¡¯m lucky, I don¡¯t need to fight with the demonic cultivators.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, but I¡¯m not confident in my luck.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 17 Returning to the Yunzhong Sect Cheng Xu secretly shook his head. He could only say that this Junior Brother of his really needed to be trained. ¡°Senior Brother, where are you going? Aren¡¯t you going back to your cave?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to the library.¡± ¡°¡­¡±¡± Fine, I won¡¯t go then,¡± Miao Changsheng said after heughed at himself. He had to set off early the next morning. With hisprehension, there was no point in going to the book collection cave. Only an abnormal person like Cheng Xu would be of any use in the library cave. After sending Miao Changsheng away, Cheng Xu went to the library cave alone. He had a clear goal: to find fire or wood-type martial arts spells. After all, the ¡± Glorious Crimson Sutra ¡± was a dual fire and wood element cultivation technique, and it had great support for the skills of these two elements. After some careful selection, it was easy to read and install. The first was a fire-type spell [ True White me Technique?] (21.5MB), followed by a wood-type spell [ Poisonous Vine Technique ] (18.2MB). One move was explosive and the other was control-type, which was very suitable for Cheng Xu¡¯s current shorings. Furthermore, with the support of the [ martial arts technique ] and the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ], they were all very powerful. ¡­ Cheng Xu didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to sleep, nor that he couldn¡¯t sleep. It was because Miao Changsheng had nagged at him the entire night. At the gathering point, all the disciples had already arrived, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. After the sect leader, Dan Yang, counted the number of people, he waved his hand and took out arge number of resources from his storage bag. ¡°Although we Medicine Immortal Valley disciples are not good at fighting, we have our advantage, and that is, we have enough elixirs.¡± ¡°These are the training resources that the sect has specially prepared for you. Each of you cane and collect one. There are sufficient Qi recovery , and healing pills inside, as well as various pills that can temporarily increase your strength.¡± ¡°Other than that, there are also high-grade ground shrinking talismans, iron armor talismans, wind controlling talismans, and so on that you¡¯ll be able to safelyplete this trial.¡± The originally listless crowd instantly became stunned. ¡°Good Lord, with the help of such a luxurious gift bag, as long as he doesn¡¯t encounter a demonic cultivator above thete Foundation Establishment stage, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wants to.¡± It could only be said that the sect still cared for them. ¡°What do you think, little guys? you should have some confidence now, right?¡± Perfected Dan Yang asked with a grin. Just like that, everyone received their experience points and boarded the treasure ship with confidence. Under the escort of the elders, they slowly rose into the air. The only pity was that Chi Yao Zhenren was still in seclusion, which made Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng feel a little regretful. ¡°Tsk, tsk, there are ten of the best length contraction charms!¡± Miao Changsheng opened the gift bag and eximed, ¡°¡±Uncle sect leader is really investing a lot of resources!¡± ¡°What, you¡¯re not afraid now?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of with this configuration? Just you wait, when the timees, I¡¯ll personally bring back a demonic cultivator¡¯s head!¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s fear waspletely gone. In fact, he was looking forward to it. Tang Xuan hade over too. I just asked master. The gathering point for the various sects seems to be Yunzhong sect. ¡°Yunzhong sect?¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. ¡­ Two dayster, the treasure ship sessfully arrived at the mountain range in the clouds. Looking down at the ce where he had once cultivated, Cheng Xu¡¯s heart was filled with emotions. ¡°Which mountain did Senior Brother cultivate on before?¡± Miao Changsheng asked curiously. ¡°The one at the very end.¡± ¡°Holy sh ~~! The end of the spiritual vein!¡± Miao Changsheng could not help butin,¡±The Yunzhong sect is too stingy, isn¡¯t it? With so many ces rich in spiritual energy, would you rather leave them empty than let the outer sect disciples use them?¡± ¡°Indeed, our Medicine Immortal Valley is the best.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, ¡± Tang Xuan agreed. but then again, the Yunzhong sect has been developing quite well these years. It¡¯s showing signs of bing the number one sect in mini Southern Heaven. While they were talking, the treasured ship had already sailed to the main peak of the Yunzhong sect, stepping on the clouds. ¡°Prepare tond!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! Perfected Dan Yang reminded the crowd and steered the boat tond slowly. At this moment, on the Cloud-treading Peak, the disciples of the various sects had already arrived and were exchanging pleasantries with each other. It was a lively scene. ¡°Is this the Cloud-treading Peak?¡± Cheng Xu looked down at the Cloud-treading Peak and sighed with emotion. Once upon a time, as an outer sect disciple, he could only look at the Cloud-Treading Peak?from afar. This was the first time he had ascended the Cloud-treading Peak, and he was already a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley. The treasure shipnded smoothly, and the disciples disembarked one after another. The sect leader, perfected pill yang, went to meet with the sect leaders of the various sects. When the disciples of the various sects saw the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples, their faces were filled with disdain and mockery. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the sect leaders are thinking. They actually included the Medicine Immortal Valley in their ns!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Every team must have a Medicine Immortal Valley disciple. Isn¡¯t this just a burden?¡± ¡°By the way, how much do you know about the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Although it¡¯s said that we¡¯re picking the taller one among the dwarves, at least it¡¯ll be easier if we choose the more powerful one.¡± ¡°Hehe, I do know a few good ones, but why should I tell you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll choose whoever you choose. We¡¯ll just see who they¡¯re willing to team up with.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The faces of the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples turned ugly when they heard the mockery from the various sects. ¡°What¡¯s with the arrogance? I don¡¯t want to form a team with you!¡±?Miao Changsheng snorted to himself. At this time, there were already many teams formed by the disciples of the four major sects. They were onlycking a burden from the Medicine Immortal Valley. As a result, not long after the Medicine Immortal Valley Group arrived, many groups of four took the initiative to approach them. ¡°Hey, who¡¯s the best among you guys? I don¡¯t have high expectations. I just need you to run fast and not drag us down.¡± ¡°Brother Wang, look! There seems to be a brother at the Foundation Establishment stage. It¡¯s him ~ it¡¯s him ~!¡± Many of the four-man teams quickly noticed Tang Xuan in the crowd and extended their olive branches to him. Their tone was also much more polite than before. After all, his Foundation Establishment cultivation was self-exnatory. Even in the four major sects, there weren¡¯t many Foundation Establishment disciples. ¡°Fellow Daoists, please look at my junior brothers and sisters. I¡¯m afraid the strength of your teams is not worthy of me.¡± Tang Xuan nced at the other teams with a mocking expression. As the only Foundation Establishment realm disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley, he could easily choose which team he wanted to join. ¡°Tsk ~ didn¡¯t you just start cultivating a few years earlier than us? You really think you¡¯re something!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that we have to find a Medicine Immortal Valley disciple, do you think we would be willing to recruit you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a joke. He¡¯s an early Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± The crowd burst intoughter. Everyone from the Medicine Immortal Valley was infuriated by this scene. Many disciples even started arguing with this group of people. Among them, Miao Changsheng was the most furious. ¡°You¡¯re both at the peak of Qi Refinement realm, why are you acting like a big shot?¡± ¡°If you have the guts, don¡¯t eat a single pill from my Medicine Immortal Valley!¡± The two sides quarreled more and more fiercely. Just as they were about to fight, a cold voice came from the back of the crowd. everyone, be quiet. ¡°Peace is the most important thing in the joint experiential learning of the five sects!¡± Upon hearing this voice, the disciples of the four major sects, who were originally aggressive, instantly shut up and obediently parted to make way. Cheng Xu looked over curiously and saw a cold-looking young man wearing the robes of the inner disciples of the Yunzhong sect walking over slowly. He was the number one prodigy of the Yunzhong sect and the direct disciple of the sect leader, Perfected Tayun, Yan Changfeng. With his mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, he looked down on everyone present. The two men and one woman who came with Yan Changfeng were also the most outstanding geniuses of the other three sects. The four of them stunned everyone the moment they appeared. ¡°Long time no see, Brother Tang!¡± Yan Changfeng seemed to know Tang Xuan. He stepped forward and cupped his fists. Tang Xuan also cupped his fists politely in response. ¡°Brother Yan¡¯s cultivation base is so outstanding that it makes me feel ashamed.¡± ¡°I was just lucky.¡± Yan Changfeng smiled and invited, ¡°I wonder if Brother Tang is willing to join our team?¡± ¡°I am more than happy to be able to form a team with the prodigies of the various sects.¡± Just like that, Tang Xuan and the paragons of the four major sects sessfully formed an alliance. Without a doubt, this team was definitely the strongest team in this joint training, attracting the envy of countless people. Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder as he watched from the side. However, other than Yan Changfeng, he did not know much about the other three. ¡°By the way, what are the names of the other three heaven¡¯s favorites?¡± ¡°Hu Yanzan of the Scorching Sun?sect, Liu Qiao of the Divine Luo Hall, and Xue Lingyu of the Wondrous Spell sect.¡± Jian Yuxiang introduced them from the side, ¡°These three people are the most outstanding members of their respective sects. If nothing unexpected crops up, they will all be the sessors of their respective sects.¡± Cheng Xu nodded to himself. ¡­ On the high tform, the leaders of the various sects were also chatting happily. ¡°By the way, the disciples of the four major sects are quite loud, aren¡¯t they?¡± Perfected Dan Yang said with a hidden meaning. ¡°Well, you¡¯re a young man after all. You haven¡¯t experienced the brutal ways of the cultivation world,¡± Perfected Tayun said with an embarrassed smile. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Didn¡¯t we have the same behavior back then? They¡¯ll understand the importance of being an alchemist when they¡¯ve been beaten up more,¡± the Divine Luo Hall master said teasingly. ¡°They won¡¯t listen to anything we say now.¡± At this point, the sect leaders all looked at each other and smiled. Thinking back to when they were young, if it weren¡¯t for Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s help, they would have died countless times. ¡­ On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, he had already started looking around for his teammates. He finally found Yang Tianqi in the crowd, only to discover that he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and had already formed three teammates who were at the same level as him. Fortunately, Tang Xuan had already been taken away by the alliance. Now, the highest level of the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples was only at the peak of the Qi refining stage. However, just as Cheng Xu was about to go up and chat with Yang Tianqi, a familiar and piercing female voice caught his attention. ¡°Move, move, don¡¯t block my way.¡± An arrogant and domineering female disciple of the Yunzhong sect swept through the crowd and appeared in front of the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s group. She was followed by three young and beautiful girls. It was obvious that she wanted to form a beautiful girls¡¯ team. ¡°Is it really okay to gather five beautiful girls to investigate the demonic cultivators? ¡°Get us a pretty sister from the Medicine Immortal Valley, and we¡¯ll keep you safe!¡± Everyone from the Medicine Immortal Valley had a strange expression on their faces as they all looked at Cheng Xu. That¡¯s right, this woman was the main culprit who had gotten Cheng Xu expelled from the Yunzhong sect, Hu Jiaojiao. Hu Jiaojiao noticed Cheng?Xu¡¯s strange behavior and her eyes widened. ¡°It¡¯s you-?¡± ¡°Ahem, ahem, it¡¯s me.¡± Cheng Xu nodded calmly, full of confidence. What was meant toe hade. From the moment he knew that the five sects had joined forces for the experiential learning, he had already expected such a thing to happen. However, as an inner sect disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley, he naturally didn¡¯t have to be afraid of Hu Jiaojiao. When the three female disciples from the other sects saw this, they cast curious looks at him. ¡°Sister Hu, do you know this handsome young man from the Medicine Immortal Valley?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jiaojiao let out a hysterical scream. Then, amidst the uproar in the audience, she drew her sword and shed it toward Cheng Xu. ¡°Little thief, die!¡± Chapter 18 Wash Away the Injustice Cheng Xu¡¯s face darkened. He activated his protective upstanding Qi and used the mysterious water spell to release a surging water flow to resist the attack. His and Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s attack collided in midair, setting offyers of airwaves. ¡°?!¡± Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock, clearly not expecting him to be able to block her attack. After all, she was already in the early stage of the foundation building realm. The crowd also became surprised by the strength of this Medicine Celestial Valley disciple. Of course, they were more curious about the rtionship between Cheng Xu and Hu Jiaojiao. ¡°Hu Jiaojiao, I won¡¯t stoop down to your level for the sake of our friendship. Are you still not done? What happened that day was purely an ident. I didn¡¯t see anything, so why do you have to force me so hard?¡± Cheng Xu said coldly. ¡°Damn it! Do you think you can gloss over it just by saying you didn¡¯t see it?¡± Hu Jiaojiao retorted hysterically. While she spoke, the vital essence in her body poured madly into the sword as if to prate the water curtain of the mysterious water spell. ¡­ On the high tform, the leaders of the various sects who were still joking andughing a second ago froze in ce immediately. ¡°What the hell? Why did they start fighting? Whose disciple is so improper?¡± the Divine Gaze Hall Master said unhappily. ¡°I think one of them is the granddaughter of elder Hu of the Yunzhong Sect. The other one seems to be a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley,¡± Sect Leader Miao Fameng said with a strange expression. As soon as Perfected Pill Yang saw that the disciples fighting were Cheng Xu and Hu Jiaojiao, he immediately understood the reason. ¡°Jiaojiao, this girl, is really getting more and more mischievous!¡± said Daoist Cloudstep, his expression not too good. After he finished speaking, he flew up into the sky and left. The other sect leaders also flew up, following him to watch the fun without minding the matter. In the crowd, Yang Tianqi was surprised that Cheng Xu had be a Medicine Immortal Valley disciple. Seeing the two of them fighting, he quickly stepped forward, nning to stop them. At this time, five figures flew past above his head. He had no choice but to stop when he saw the leaders of the various sects. Bang! Bang! Perfected Being Cloudstep gently waved his sleeve and forced Cheng Xu and Hu Jiaojiao back. He scolded, ¡°Girl, don¡¯t mess around!¡± Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s face turned red as she pointed at Cheng Xu andined, ¡°Sect Leader Martial Uncle, it¡¯s him! He¡¯s the outer sect lecher who peeked at me before! I don¡¯t know why he became a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± ¡°What?¡± Daoist Cloudrise, astonished, looked at Cheng Xu, who was currently dressed in the robes of the Medicine Immortal Valley. Confused, he asked, ¡°A disciple of my sect?¡± He was not the only one. Everyone present was stunned, especially the disciples of the Yunzhong Sect. Daoist Cloudrise hesitantly confirmed, ¡°Little guy, you¡¯re a disciple of our Yunzhong Sect?¡± ¡°I was before,¡± Cheng Xu calmly replied. Perfected Being Tayun frowned and looked at Perfected Being Dan Yang in confusion. He said, ¡°Daoist Dan Yang, shouldn¡¯t you give me an exnation?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to exin,¡± Reverend Dan Yang said calmly. ¡°Your Yunzhong sect didn¡¯t want him, but my Chi Yao happened to meet him. He saw that this little guy had a bit of talent in alchemy, so he epted him into the sect. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s disciple?¡± Daoist Cloudrise and the other sect leaders expressed their surprise. The disciples of the various sects were even more stunned when they heard this. For a time, Cheng Xu had undoubtedly be the subject of everyone¡¯s discussion. ¡°Chi Yao Zhenren, the so-called number one Alchemist in Little Southern Heaven, the Fleeing Zhenren?¡± ¡°No, no, no. That¡¯s not the point. The point is that the kid used to be an outer disciple of Yunzhong Sect, but now he¡¯s a disciple of Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Isn¡¯t this clearly not giving face to Yunzhong Sect? Isn¡¯t this deliberately going against them?¡± ¡°Uh, shouldn¡¯t the main point be what fairy Hu said? This brat actually dared to peek at fairy Hu?¡± ¡°~I¡¯m afraid he had peeked at some incredible scene~!¡± ¡°This is simply preposterous! Man and God are both angry!¡± ¡°Such a despicable person deserved to be expelled from the sect. However, the Medicine Celestial Valley clearly knows that he is immoral. Why did they still ept him as a disciple?¡± ¡°Could it be that the brat¡¯s alchemy talent is so strong that his character can be ignored?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. If he really has such amazing talent, how could he only be an outer disciple of Yunzhong Sect?¡± ¡°Why not? Yunzhong Sect doesn¡¯t pay attention when ites to refining medicine.¡± ¡­ On the side of the Milky Way battleship, except for Yan Changfeng, the heaven¡¯s chosen from the other three sects all looked like they were watching a show. ¡°Brother Tang, does your medicine immortal Valley not care about your reputation anymore?¡± ¡°My Junior Brother Cheng has already said it was just an ident. And with Junior Brother Cheng¡¯s character, he wouldn¡¯t do such a despicable thing,¡± Tang Xuan said with narrowed eyes. ¡°Even so,¡± Yan Changfeng muttered, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it also depend on what outsiders think?¡± ¡°Outsiders can see it however they want. In any case, the entire Medicine Celestial Valley acknowledges Junior Brother Cheng.¡± ¡°It seems your Medicine Celestial Valley values this kid a lot!¡± Yan Changfeng remarked. He was secretly surprised. ¡°It makes sense. A person who can be chosen by Chi Yao Zhenren must have extraordinary talent in refining medicine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just his talent in alchemy. Junior Brother Cheng is someone who received the recognition of our Grandmaster¡¯s inheritance,¡± Tang Xuan replied. ¡°His future is limitless.¡± Hearing this, the paragons of the other three sects all looked at him in shock. ¡°Really? Your Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s ancestor left behind an inheritance?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Which family doesn¡¯t have a bit of inheritance from their ancestors? It¡¯s just that no one has been able to understand the mysteries within.¡± ¡°I see.¡± ¡°No wonder Reverend Dan Yang is so protective of him,¡± Yan Changfeng nodded in realization. ¡­ On the side of the various sect leaders, Daoist Cloudrise had a strange expression as he asked, ¡°Has your sect already reached such a state of insatiability?¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? Little Cheng is so outstanding,¡± Immortal Dan Yang said grumpily. ¡°The Medicine Immortal Valley is looking forward to having a few more disciples like him.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Seeing that Perfected Pill Yang was so protective of Cheng Xu, Perfected Cloudrise naturally had to give him some face. ¡°Fine. If your sect likes this abandoned disciple of my Yunzhong Sect, then we have nothing to say.¡± However, he couldn¡¯t figure out what was so special about Cheng Xu that the Medicine Celestial Valley would ce so much importance on him. Perfected Dan Yang wasn¡¯t stupid. He could naturally hear Perfected Being Tayun¡¯s sarcasm, but his heart didn¡¯t waver at all. Instead, he grinned and replied, ¡°Same! Same!¡± Daoist Master Cloudstep waspletely befuddled. He turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao, who was gritting her teeth, and said, ¡°Enough, girl. Since Cheng Xu has already received the punishment he deserves, this matter is over. From now on, he is a disciple of Medicine Celestial Valley, so you must not act rashly.¡± ¡°What?¡± Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. ¡°You¡¯re letting him off just like that?¡± ¡°What else do you want? Are you trying to kill my Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s disciples?¡± Immortal Dan Yang retorted, obviously annoyed at the girl. ¡°Even if your grandfather, Hu Banxian, were here, he wouldn¡¯t be able to touch a hair on Cheng Xu, let alone a little girl like you!¡± As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became strange. Even the leaders of the other three sects gasped in surprise. ¡°Daoist Elixir Yang, what do you mean by this?¡± Tayun Zhenren¡¯s face darkened. He didn¡¯t expect Dan Yang would be so angry. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m sure you¡¯re well aware of this girl¡¯s character, fellow Daoist,¡± Immortal Dan Yang snorted. ¡°Cheng Xu has said that what happened before was purely an ident. As for whether it¡¯s true or not, fellow Daoist, you should have your own judgment.¡± Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect quickly came out to smooth things over. ¡°Please calm down. It¡¯s just a small matter. Why do you have to make it so unpleasant?¡± ¡°What right does he have to say it wasn¡¯t on purpose?!¡± Hu Jiaojiao bit her lip stubbornly. At that moment, Cheng Xu finally had the chance to defend himself. He began, ¡°Let me ask you. Didn¡¯t I fall into the pool from the sky?¡± ¡°Have you ever seen anyone peeking from a thousand-foot cliff? Besides, the mountain range in the clouds is always covered in clouds and mist. I need to be able to see it if I want to peek.¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t intend to peep, how could you have just happened to appear in that ce?¡± Hu Jiaojiao replied stubbornly. ¡°Your sect should still have a record of the herb-picking mission I epted that day,¡± Cheng Xu said with a smile.¡±You can go and verify it.¡± ¡°Why would you need to go up the cliff to pick herbs?¡± ¡°As an Alchemist, Miss Hu should know where the flying eave grass grows, right? The flying eave grass located at the ce where I fell that day should still be in its original ce,¡± Cheng Xu continued, ¡°You can go and check it out.¡± ¡°Y-y-you¡­¡± Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s face turned red. ¡°Who allowed you to fall down?!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°The rock suddenly cracked. What could I have done? Moreover, the ce where I fell into theke was at least two hundred feet away from you. As soon as I floated up, you knocked me out and tied me up in the Law Enforcement Hall. How could you say that I was peeking?¡± At this point, anyone with a brain could understand what had happened. The leaders of the other three sects looked at each other. They could also tell that Hu Jiaojiao was the one who was at fault. On the other hand, Reverend Dan Yang snorted and straightened his back. Only Daoist Master Tayun had an awkward expression. He asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you exin this to the Law Enforcement Hall back then?¡± ¡°Even if I wanted to exin, there has to be someone to listen, right? I¡¯m just an outer sect disciple,¡± Cheng Xu helplessly shrugged. ¡°Fine, since you¡¯ve already joined the Medicine Celestial Valley, this matter is over,¡± Daoist Cloudrise stated as his face darkened. He looked at Hu Jiaojiao and said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you retreating?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Hu Jiaojiao stomped her feet and left. At this point, the truth finally came to light and sessfully redressed Cheng Xu¡¯s grievances. ¡°Alright, do what you need to do. Don¡¯t crowd around,¡± Daoist Master Tayun waved his hand to disperse the crowd, turned to them, and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve made a fool of myself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine,¡± Reverend Dan Yang waved his hand as well. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± After the leaders exchanged some pleasantries, they flew back to the high tform while chatting andughing. Cheng Xu, who had sessfully defended himself, had never felt so carefree. Just as he was about to continue forming a team, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in white in the crowd. It was the little rich woman, Bai Ci¡¯er. At this time, three elite disciples of the other three sects followed Bai Ci¡¯er. The Scorching Sun Sect disciple, a cultivator in the early stage of the foundation building realm, was obviously interested in her. He had been following behind her, telling all kinds of cold jokes that made people speechless. Bai Ci¡¯er looked like she didn¡¯t want to talk to the disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect. After the crowd dispersed, she walked over to Cheng Xu with a chuckle. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Junior Brother Cheng to reach the peak-stage of Qi refining so quickly.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t fairy the same?¡± Cheng Xu smiled politely. ¡°It seems like Junior Brother Cheng is living a good life in the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. Anyway, it¡¯s much better than when we were at the Yunzhong sect,¡± Cheng Xu grinned. Then he sensed the hostile look from the Scorching Sun Sect disciple and asked, ¡°Is this group your teammates, fairy?¡± ¡°Yes, they are,¡± Bai Ci¡¯er answered with a smile and introduced, ¡°This is Wondrous Technique Sect¡¯s senior sister Han Yue. This is Divine Hall¡¯s senior brother Yue Yang. They¡¯re both from the same cultivation n. We¡¯re old acquaintances.¡± After Bai Ci¡¯er introduced the two of them, she ignored the one from the Scorching Sun Sect. Oh¡­ Cheng Xu nced at the scorching sun sect disciple with a faint smile. He said, ¡°Count me in?¡± Chapter 19 Setting Off In A Team ¡°Of course, you can.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er nodded happily. After all, he had fought side by side with Cheng Xu before and knew that Cheng Xu¡¯s strength was extraordinary. And for someone like her who didn¡¯t like to socialize much, she would naturally prefer to find someone she knew. Han Yue and Yue Yang were both at the peak of the Qi Refining stage. They had also seen Cheng Xu¡¯s strength in the fight with Hu Jiaojiao, so they weed Cheng Xu into the team. Only the Scorching Sun Sect disciple at the side felt indignant. ¡°Why can he join and I can¡¯t? No matter what, I¡¯m still a genius second only to Senior Brother Huyan in the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Ci¡¯er seemed to have a headache and politely refused, ¡°We¡¯re too weak, and I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll be a burden to Brother Wang. Furthermore, with Brother Wang¡¯s strength, you can obviously find a better team.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m happy to do so.¡± ¡°What is Fairy Bai doing? Isn¡¯t it a good thing to have a Foundation Establishment teammate?¡± Cheng Xu asked. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Cheng Xu, Brother Cheng, right?¡± Brother Wang¡¯s eyes brightened slightly, and he secretly cast a grateful look at Cheng Xu.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s face was full of worry and she was at a loss. ¡°But ¡­¡± At this time, Han Yue and Yue Yang, who were standing beside them, also said, ¡°Ci¡¯er, don¡¯t hesitate anymore. This experience isn¡¯t a joke. With an expert like Brother Wang joining us, we¡¯ll be able to avoid a lot of danger.¡± In the face of her three teammates¡¯ persuasion, Bai Ci¡¯er could only nod helplessly. ¡°Alright then.¡± ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s more like it! I¡¯m not a dreadful monster, is there a need to be so afraid?¡± Brother Wang was overjoyed. He cupped his fists to the three of them and expressed his gratitude. ¡°I just hope that Brother Wang Can speak less.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er felt helpless. I understand, I understand. Brother Wang patted his chest and promised. He then introduced himself to Cheng Xu. ¡°Wang Xiaolun of the Scorching Sun sect, I can empathize with the grievances you suffered in the Yunzhong Sect.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and nodded. He could vaguely smell the scent of a chatterbox. At this time, Yang Tianqi also came over with his teammates. ¡°It seems that I¡¯m a littlete. I¡¯m relieved to know that Junior Brother Cheng has joined the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± ¡°Congrattions Brother Yang for sessfully reaching the Foundation Establishment.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and congratted him. Yang Tianqi smiled humbly. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Junior Brother Cheng has already joined Junior Sister Bai¡¯s team. I wonder if Junior Brother Cheng can help me rmend a candidate?¡± ¡°Of course, you can.¡± Cheng Xu nodded with a smile. He turned around and pointed at Jian Yuxiang, ¡°That senior sister of mine isn¡¯t bad. Among the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples, she¡¯s second only to Senior Brother Tang. He had wanted to rmend Miao Changsheng, but he decided against it after some thought. With Miao Changsheng¡¯s strength, it would be more dangerous for him to follow Yang Tianqi and his group of Foundation Establishment stage teammates. ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Tianqi and the others¡¯ eyes lit up. ¡°Thank you, Junior Brother Cheng.¡± After he finished speaking, he impatiently went to invite Jian Yuxiang to join the team. ¡°Wow! I didn¡¯t expect the Medicine Celestial Valley to have such a beautiful fairy. Tsk, tsk!¡± Wang Xiaolun looked curiously at Jian Yuxiang and was amazed. Han Yue and Yue Yang were both speechless. Cheng Xu¡¯s mouth twitched unconsciously. He finally understood why Bai Ci¡¯er hated this guy. Unknowingly, the disciples of the five sects had basically formed their teams. It was worth mentioning that because of Cheng Xu, none of the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples were willing to join Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s team. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care!¡± Hu Jiaojiao red at Cheng Xu, who was standing in the distance. ¡°At least we don¡¯t have to drag him down.¡± Moreover, she was an Alchemist herself, so she didn¡¯t need any Medicine Celestial Valley disciples. Seeing that the younger generation had sessfully formed their teams, the leaders of the five sects, led by Tayun Zhenren, no longer wasted time. They loudly gathered all the teams under the high tform and then arranged a series of Jade slips in the air that recorded the investigation tasks, forming a pyramid-like shape. The higher they went, the more difficult it was. ¡°These are the investigation missions that have beenpiled and formted based on the current information. They are divided into four levels of difficulty, A, B, C, D, and the unique level of special missions at the top.¡± ¡°Of course, to stimte your enthusiasm, there will also be rewards for this joint experiential learning. The more difficult the mission is, the more generous the rewards will be.¡± Upon hearing that there would be a reward, the eyes of the disciples from the various sects lit up. Tayun Zhenren paused and continued, ¡°This time¡¯s experiential learning rewards are provided by the five sects. Next, we will show the rewards of this experiential learning in turn.¡± After saying that, Daoist Cloudrise took the lead and took out the reward he had prepared. ¡°First, it¡¯s my Cloud Sect. This time, I¡¯ve prepared four high-quality sword techniques for everyone, as well as the ¡®Heavenly Dipper Sword Technique¡¯, which originated from the core inheritance of my sect. I¡¯ll give it to the team that haspleted the special mission. As for the four high-quality sword techniques, they will be awarded to the most outstanding team in the fourth-rank mission.¡± As soon as the reward was announced, the audience eximed. After all, the sword skills of the Yunzhong Sect were famous for being powerful, especially those sword skills that were part of the core inheritance. Even the disciples of the Yunzhong Sect who were present were shocked by the style of the Sect Leader, Daoist Master Cloudrise. On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s eyes lit up as she stared at the second rank. ¡°Fairy Bai, are you interested in the second-rank sword technique?¡± Cheng Xu asked curiously. Bai Ci¡¯er nodded excitedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯s just a second-tier mission. With me around, it¡¯ll be easy!¡± Wang Xiaolun patted his chest and promised. Then, the leaders of the Scorching Sun Sect, the Godly Luo Hall, and the Wondrous Spell Sect appeared one after another and showed the prizes they had prepared. Without exception, they were all rare and good items. The Scorching Sun Sect took out dozens of high-quality magical treasures in one go. The Divine Hall took out dozens of formation disks that had been perfectly blended. Wondrous Spell Sect even took out a high-level talisman of the Aurous Core stage. Although it was only a consumable item, it was a talisman that could hurt an Aurous Core stage cultivator. The disciples of the various sects below the stage cried out in shock wave after wave, wishing they could immediately charge towards the Divine Dao headquarters! The atmosphere was pushed to a climax when Reverend Dan Yang appeared on the stage and presented the prizes prepared by the Medicine Celestial Valley. It was because what Reverend Dan Yang took out was none other than the [ Marrow and Tendon Cleansing Pill ], the prize of the previouspetition. The disciples of the various sects were all breathing rapidly, their eyes shining. Even the leaders of the other four sects were shocked. ¡°Good fellow, didn¡¯t you say that the Tendon and Marrow Cleansing Pills were used up?¡± The hall master of the divine gaze Hall asked in bewilderment. Reverend Dan Yang pursed his lips calmly. ¡°I¡¯ve been rummaging through the sect¡¯s Treasury recently and found some more.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tayun Zhenren took a deep breath and said meaningfully, ¡°With the Marrow and Tendon Cleansing Pill as a reward, I¡¯m afraid this bunch of juniors is going to risk their lives!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± The Sect Leader of the Scorching Sun Sect agreed, ¡°It makes this old man want to go and gain some experience.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, a Supreme-grade Tendon and Marrow Cleansing Pill. I didn¡¯t even enjoy such treatment back then.¡± Wondrous Spell Sect¡¯s Leader sighed. ¡­ Looking at Cheng Xu¡¯s team again, Wang Xiaolun was already starting to regret it. If he had known that the reward was so powerful, he wouldn¡¯t have cared about picking up girls. He would definitely have prioritized finding a group of Foundation Establishment teammates. If he was lucky, he might even have a chance topete for the special prize, and the first prize would definitely be won. Now that he had a group of teammates at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, he basically had no chance of winning the special prize and the first prize. ¡°Brother Wang, are you regretting it now?¡± Cheng Xu asked with a smile. ¡°Regretting what?¡± Wang Xiaolun quickly collected his emotions. ¡°Who said I¡¯m regretting? As long as I can help Little Sister Ci¡¯er get first ce in the second-rank mission, everything will be worth it.¡± Cheng Xu, Bai Ci¡¯er, and the other two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. On the high tform, after announcing the rewards prepared by the various sects, Daoist Cloudrise spoke again, ¡°Cough, cough, that¡­ Although the rewards are generous, you must act within your means. Without further ado, each team can choose its mission.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, all the team leaders swarmed forward, afraid that they would be one step slower. The captain of Cheng Xu¡¯s team was naturally Wang Xiaolun, an early Foundation Establishment Big Boss. He leaped into the air and rushed toward the B-grade mission Jade slip. However, what Cheng Xu and the others didn¡¯t expect was that Wang Xiaolun, who could have easily gotten a B-tier mission, suddenly fell into an inexplicable dilemma. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the few people, he turned in the air and snatched thest A-grade mission Jade slip. Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two¡¯s expressions instantly froze. Even Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. ¡°Damn, is there something wrong with this guy¡¯s brain?¡± He had thought that this brother was just a little talkative, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be so brainless. ¡°Sigh¡­ If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to Ci¡¯er and found someone else to join the team.¡± Yue Yang shook his head with a bitter smile, feeling extremely regretful. Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s expression paled. After all, what she wanted the most was the sword technique rewarded by the B-grade mission. Even worse, with their team¡¯s strength, the hope of getting a first-tier reward was very slim. So when Wang Xiaolun came back, Cheng Xu and the other three didn¡¯t give him a good look. ¡°Ahem, this¡­ Everyone, you have to have confidence in yourselves. With me around, there¡¯s still hope for us to get the A-rank reward,¡± Wang Xiaolun said with a thick-skinned smile. ¡°Now that things havee to this, we can only take one step at a time.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er sighed in disappointment. ¡°Sister Ci¡¯er, don¡¯t be sad. When the timees, you¡¯ll be able to exchange a first-grade sword technique for someone else¡¯s second-grade sword technique.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er was toozy to respond to him. There was indeed no problem with changing from first to second, but the premise was that they could get first ce in the A-level mission. Looking at the line-up of the other teams that had epted the first-grade mission, they were undoubtedly the weakest team among the first-grade mission teams, at least in terms of overall cultivation. When all the teams received the mission, the elders of the various sects who were already on standby on the cloud-treading Summit took out their treasure ships one after another, and they were responsible for sending the teams to the mission area. Cheng Xu¡¯s mission was to go to the Heluo Kingdom in the northern part of Mini Southern Heaven to investigate. It was a coincidence that the ship was on the same route as the Milky Way and Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s beautiful girls¡¯ team. Not only that, but Miao Changsheng¡¯s team was also on this ship. ¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother Tang, we happened to be passing by! We might be able to help each other when the timees,¡± Miao Changsheng said excitedly. Cheng Xu and Tang Xuan looked at each other and nodded with a smile. As for the beautiful girls¡¯ battle team led by Hu Jiaojiao, from the moment they boarded the ship, they had been gritting their teeth and staring at Cheng Xu. Those who didn¡¯t know would think that there was some deep hatred between them. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t be bothered with her. He looked down at the magnificent mountains and rivers below while chatting with his teammates to improve their rtionship. Of course, Wang Xiaolun was an exception. However, the more Cheng Xu acted this way, the angrier Hu Jiaojiao became. ¡°Seriously, Ci¡¯er, you actually formed a team with this kind of person? Be careful not to let him take advantage of you.¡± Cheng Xu was inexplicably angry and really wanted to go up and give her a big p. Bai Ci¡¯er smiled awkwardly. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister. Junior Brother Cheng is not as bad as you think.¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re still calling him Junior Brother Cheng at a time like this?¡± Hu Jiaojiao snorted. At this crucial moment, Yan Changfeng stood out from the Milky Way battleship. ¡°Stop talking. Haven¡¯t you embarrassed yourself enough?¡± Seeing that Yan Changfeng had spoken, Hu Jiaojiao obediently shut her mouth. Chapter 20 A Little Knowledgeable After everything was over, Yan Changfeng did not forget to apologize personally to Cheng Xu. He said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother Cheng. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. He could only say that he was indeed the future sessor of the Yunzhong Sect. His bearing and quality were just different. ¡°Which family doesn¡¯t have a brat?¡± ¡°Damn it! Who are you calling a devilish brat?¡± Hu Jiaojiao exploded in anger. Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything. Yan Changfeng red at Hu Jiaojiao, and she could only step back, feeling wronged. There¡¯s a good saying. Everything has its own weakness. It seemed that there was still someone who could subdue this devilish child. ¡°This girl, Jiaojiao, has been spoiled rotten by Martial Uncle Hu. I am deeply sorry for brother Cheng¡¯s expulsion from the sect,¡± Yan Changfeng continued. He also knew that the Yunzhong Sect was at fault in this matter. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s all in the past,¡± Cheng Xu replied. ¡°On the contrary, Ci¡¯er¡¯s character is a bit timid. I hope brother Cheng can take care of her,¡± Yan Changfeng added, changing the topic to Bai Ci¡¯er. Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, he would still take care of Bai Ci¡¯er. After all, in the entire Yunzhong Sect, only Bai Ci¡¯er and Yang Tianqi could make him retain some of his friendship. However, Yan Changfeng¡¯s words attracted many shocked gazes. Especially Wang Xiaolun, who became unhappy at his statement. He interrupted, ¡°Brother Changfeng, I don¡¯t like what you¡¯re saying. With me, the leader of the early-stage foundation building team, here, do you think I can¡¯t take care of little sister Ci¡¯er?¡± Yan Changfeng only smiled and nced at Wang Xiaolun, not saying a word. If Wang Xiaolun had been a little more reliable, he would not have been so worried about Bai Ci¡¯er. ¡°Yan Changfeng, what do you mean by this? Don¡¯t think that the mid-stage of the foundation building realm is so great. I will surpass you one day!¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yan Changfeng smiled indifferently, as if he did not take Wang Xiaolun seriously. When the burly Huyan Zan saw this, he rebuked in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± Only then did Wang Xiaolun calm down. However, he still looked at Yan Changfeng with displeasure. In the following journey, everyone was much quieter. Those who discussed the mission discussed the mission, and those who wanted to cultivate cultivated. Everyone was recuperating and conserving energy for the next mission. Cheng Xu¡¯s team was no exception, but Wang Xiaolun wasn¡¯t very well-liked by his teammates. Heluo Kingdom was a long way to go, and most of them had nothing to do on the way. Brother Yue Yang of the Divine Luo Pce sat cross-legged in a corner, carefully maintaining and adjusting the formation disk, which sessfully aroused Cheng Xu¡¯s curiosity. After all, he had already installed 43.8MB of formation knowledge, so he had a certain level of understanding of formation skills. ¡°Brother Yue, did you make this formation te yourself? It¡¯s so exquisite,¡± Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder and leaned forward. ¡°Why? Are you interested in formations?¡± Yue Yang asked with great interest. ¡°I know a little.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yue Yang replied, secretly surprised. He continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Daoist Cheng to know about arrays. Then tell me, what kind of array have I constructed on my array board? What effects does it have?¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was discussing the formation with a disciple of the Divine Hall, many people looked at him with sneers. Seizing the opportunity, Hu Jiaojiao started to speak sarcastically, ¡°How dare you talk about formations in front of a Godly Pce cultivator? I really don¡¯t know who gave you the courage to do so.¡± Even Liu Qiao from the Godly Gaze Hall looked over with interest. Hemented, ¡°Brother Cheng, don¡¯t look down on Junior Brother Yue just because he¡¯s only at the peak of the Qi refining stage. In terms of achievements in formations, he has always been one of the top three disciples in the godly gaze Hall.¡± Faced with everyone¡¯s doubts, Cheng Xu only smiled and said nothing. He had already finished scanning and reading the spell formation in Yue Yang¡¯s hands. He just needed to read the system information directly. [Small Armor Removal Array] [Rank: Rank Two] [Effect: After releasing the formation, it effectively weakens the defensive spells and armor protection of enemies within the formation.] ¡°I see. It¡¯s a small armor removal formation. It can effectively weaken the defensive spells and armor protection of the enemies inside the array,¡± Cheng Xu replied calmly. ¡°However, brother Yue¡¯s set of array discs has yet to reach the limit of the minor armor dismantling array. It should only be able to reduce about 20% of the defense and protection effect.¡± As soon as he said that, everyone looked at the Divine Hall members in the group. On the other hand, the disciples of the Godly Gaze Hall widened their eyes in surprise. They did not expect him to actually know about formations. It should be known that the small armor removal array was a second-order array, and people without any array knowledge would not be able to see it, not to mention that Cheng Xu could see that Yue Yang¡¯s array board was not in a perfect state. Obviously, it wasn¡¯t as simple as just ¡°knowing a little.¡± ¡°Really? Are you sure you didn¡¯t just randomly guess?¡± Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. The beautiful girl from the Divine Hall said sternly, ¡°No, no, no. This little handsome guy obviously knows about formations.¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Hu Jiaojiao found it hard to ept. When he looked at Yue Yang¡¯s side, his eyes were wide open in shock, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know about spell formations. As far as I know, no one in the Medicine Immortal Valley studied spell formations, right? May I ask where you learned the formation from?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve collected some formation books and tried to figure them out for a while, but I haven¡¯t been able to do it myself.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yue Yang¡¯s eyes were full of shock. ¡°Brother, you must be joking with me. Arrays areplicated and profound. How can you learn it just by reading a few books on arrays?¡± Cheng Xu put on a harmless look and smiled. On the side of the Milky Way, Yan Changfeng and the others, including Tang Xuan, looked at Liu Qiao. ¡°Is that possible?¡± ¡°It¡¯s unlikely. The Dao of formations is rather special. Without someone to guide you, it¡¯s difficult to even get started,¡± Liu Qiao said, shaking his head. ¡°Then how do you exin Cheng Xu¡¯s situation?¡± ¡°This¡­ I can¡¯t figure it out either.¡± Liu Qiao looked at Tang Xuan in disbelief. ¡°Brother Tang, are you sure that no one in the Medicine Celestial Valley taught him about arrays?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no one in our Medicine Immortal Valley knowledgeable enough to teach about arrays.¡± Tang Xuan said with certainty. ¡°What about the Yunzhong Sect?¡± Liu Qiao turned to look at Yan Changfeng. Yan Changfeng frowned and shook his head, saying, ¡°Although a few elders study formations in our Yunzhong sect, Cheng Xu was only an outer sect disciple before. I¡¯m afraid it would have been difficult for him to get in touch with them.¡± ¡°Then did he really learn it by himself?¡± Liu Qiao scratched his ears and cheeks, puzzled. Little did they know that what truly shocked them had yet toe. They saw Cheng Xu staring at the array board in Yue Yang¡¯s hand before asking tentatively, ¡°That¡­ I haven¡¯t personally constructed a formation te before. I wonder if brother Yue can let me try?¡± If it was before, Yue Yang would definitely not agree. After all, a formation disk was an extremely sophisticated and expensive thing. Just like a barber¡¯s scissors, it could not be touched by outsiders. However, learning that Cheng Xu was self-taught aroused Yue Yang¡¯s curiosity greatly. After a moment of hesitation, he still handed the array board to Cheng Xu and cautioned, ¡°Just don¡¯t blindly do things that you don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Thank you, brother Yue,¡± Cheng Xu replied and happily took the formation disk. Then, under the surprised exmations of the Godly Pce disciples, he pulled out all the formation needles on the formation nodes in one go. Bang! Bang! With a soft sound of the energy structure copsing, the array disc returned to a metal disc without any fluctuations on the spot. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll try to see if I can restore it!¡± Cheng Xu dered. Before the disciples of the godly Luo Hall could recover from their shock, he had already started to construct the formation on the formation te, which stunned everyone. He stared at the dense small holes on the array board and brought up the array diagram of the small armor removal array in front of his eyes. The CPU was running at high speed, responsible for calcting the distance of the small holes on the array board and variousbinations. After a short calction, the bestposition scheme emerged in Cheng Xu¡¯s mind. He decisively picked up a fire element array needle and inserted it into the small hole in the upper left corner of the array board. He also urately controlled the depth of the hole. Then, one after another, he inserted the needle smoothly without any hesitation. The scene dumbfounded the Godly Pce disciples. This feeling was like a group of carving masters watching someone use an ax to chop at a stone. Even more unbelievable to them was that there seemed to be no problem with the small holes in which Cheng Xu had inserted the needles. They¡¯ve seen unorthodox ways. But they¡¯ve never seen such an unorthodox method. A momentter, under everyone¡¯s stunned gazes, the hundred or so formation needles were all inserted into the formation te. However, the formation te didn¡¯t show any energy fluctuations like when a formation was formed. ¡°Uh, I think I¡¯m still missing two earth element needles,¡± Cheng Xu muttered before turning his head and looking at Yue Yang. ¡°Brother Yue, do you still have more?¡± Yue Yang handed over two earth element needles in a daze. Then, under everyone¡¯s dumbfounded eyes, Cheng Xu inserted two earth element needles into the formation te. Weng~! Ayer of energy field-like fluctuations instantly appeared on the formation te. He seeded?! The crowd of onlookers looked at each other, dumbfounded. Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. She eximed, ¡°Impossible! This must be fake!¡± Cheng Xu looked at the first array he had constructed with satisfaction and then returned it to Yue Yang. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble brother Yue to take a look at the construction of this small armor removal array.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yue Yang said. He swallowed his saliva. Then, he held the array board in his hand and injected his True Qi into it from the bottom. The next moment, a series of runes condensed from true Qi spread out from the array disc and formed an array with a diameter of more than ten meters, enveloping the onlookers. ¡°Three¡­ 30%?¡± Yue Yang muttered, looking at the array board in his hand in disbelief. The surrounding crowd could naturally feel the effects of the formation as well. Pairs of incredulous eyes gathered on Cheng Xu in unison. The disciples of the Godly Luo Pce, in particr, began to doubt their lives. After a while, the disciples of the Shrine Luo gathered around Yue Yang and started to study the details of the small armor-removal array. From time to time, there would be sounds of amazement. As for the disciples of the other sects, they looked at Cheng Xu with strange expressions. ¡°Awesome, my senior brother!¡± Miao Changsheng cheered as he moved closer to Cheng Xu in surprise. He had thought that Cheng Xu was already impressive enough to learn how to refine medicine by himself. He did not expect him to do that again. This time, on how to use arrays. On the other side of the Milky Way ship, Tang Xuan¡¯s eyes lit up as he almostughed out loud. It took a long time for Liu Qiao to recover. ¡°If he¡¯s really self-taught to this level, his talent in the Dao of formations must be heaven-defying! ¡°By the way, brother Tang, is your junior brother¡¯s talent in alchemy also so heaven-defying?¡± Liu Qiao looked at Tang Xuan coldly. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the details. But junior brother Cheng¡¯s refining skills should be above mine,¡± Tang Xuan muttered. ¡°Really?¡± Everyone on the Milky Way sucked in a cold breath. ¡°So there really is such a heaven-defying person in this world?¡± Huyan Zan of the scorching sun sect was bewildered. He turned to Yan Changfeng and asked, ¡°Brother Yan, is there anyone else in your sect who has made mistakes? Why don¡¯t you chase out a few more and let us pick them up?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yan Changfeng smiled stiffly. He looked at Cheng Xu in front of him and then at Hu Jiaojiao beside him. He remained silent. Chapter 21 Being Heavily Injured Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s beautiful eyes flickered. She felt that Cheng Xu was full of mysteries and could not be fathomed. ¡°So Junior Brother Cheng also knows about formations?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just guessing, it¡¯s not worth mentioning¡± ~ Not worth mentioning ~!?Cheng Xu pretended to be humble. ¡°It would be great if Junior Brother Cheng was still in our Yunzhong sect.¡± Bai CI¡¯er sighed softly and turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao. She was secretly helpless. She then looked at the disciples of the Godly Luo Pce who werepletely immersed in the study of the Minor Armor-removal array. Before they knew it, the ship had already reached the border of Heluo. The elder in charge of controlling the ship turned around and reminded, ¡°The teams that are on a mission around Heluo can leave now.¡± As he spoke, he controlled the treasured ship to slowly lower its altitude. When they were only a few dozen meters away from the ground, several teams jumped down one after another. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng¡¯s team were among them. Not long afternding, Miao Changsheng set off with his team, heading in the opposite direction of Cheng Xu¡¯s team. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± Wang Xiaolun opened the map and nced at it. He said excitedly, ¡°Our goal is to explore all the strongholds of the diabolism in the Heluo Kingdom, and then destroy them.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s find a town to settle down in first.¡± Cheng Xu turned around and looked at the three of them. The three of them expressed their agreement and began to move towards the nearest town on the map. Only Wang Xiaolun was left in a mess. He sneered secretly, ¡°Hmph, you¡¯ll know how important I am when you¡¯re in danger!¡± After he finished speaking, he eagerly followed behind. The Heluo Kingdom was thergest secr country in the northern part of the mini Southern heaven. There were many independent cultivators and small sects scattered in the kingdom. It was said that the royal family of the Heluo Kingdom had close contact with immortal cultivators. Half a dayter, the group sessfully arrived at this town called Schrtree city(Huai city). There was a huge Locust tree in the city, and that was how the town got its name. Walking on the main street of Huai city, as far as the eye could see, the traffic was heavy, and the residents were living a happy life. It didn¡¯t look like there was any Devil Dao activity in there at all. ¡°Fine, it seems like we won¡¯t be able to find any useful clues here. Why don¡¯t we find a ce to eat and drink first, and then head to the next town?¡± Wang Xiaolun said with waning interest. ¡°I think it¡¯s better to investigate all the ces in the city.¡± Cheng Xu suggested. ¡°I agree.¡± Bai CI¡¯er and the other two agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s split up. We¡¯ll meet up at therge Pagoda tree after we¡¯re done.¡± Just like that, the four of them went in different directions one after another, leaving Wang Xiaolun, the Captain, standing stupidly on the street. ¡°Damn it!¡± He was clearly the team leader, but his team members seemed to be following Cheng Xu¡¯s orders, which made him very unhappy. The more Wang Xiaolun thought about it, the angrier he got. He was thinking about finding an opportunity to teach Cheng Xu a lesson and let him know who the real core of the team was. .. Cheng Xu was walking alone on the streets of the eastern part of the city, paying attention to everybody¡¯s every move. However, he did not find anything unusual until night fell. Helplessly, he could only return to therge Pagoda tree in the center of the city to meet up with everyone. ¡°Help! Help.¡± When he was not far from therge Pagoda tree, he suddenly heard a series of weak cries for help. After listening carefully, it turned out to be Wang Xiaolun¡¯s voice. Cheng Xu¡¯s entire body tensed up in an instant. Under the cover of the night, he carefully fumbled his way to the big Pagoda tree. The Locust tree had lush branches and leaves, and was at least as thick as five or six people¡¯s arms. A circle of stone altars was built around the Locust tree, on which all kinds of food were ced. And his brilliant Captain, Wang Xiaolun, was now tied up like a dumpling by its vines, hanging upside down on the branches, wailing weakly. ¡°?!¡± Cheng Xu was secretly shocked. He tried to use his divine sense to probe the big Locust tree, but it was blocked by an invisible force. Even if one used their toes to think, they would know that this Locust tree had probably be a spirit. And its strength was far above theirs. He didn¡¯t expect to encounter a Demon before he could find any traces of the Demonic path. Cheng Xu pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually turned into two deep ck holes blending in the night. He decided to try using the Evil eyes of ten thousand Arts. As it turned out, the Evil eye of ten thousand Arts was still very powerful. At the same time as he saw through the Demon aura on the big Locust tree, he sessfully read the tree demon¡¯s data. [Locust Tree demon] [Cultivation: Peak of the Foundation Building Realm] [Cultivation Technique: ] .. Good Lord, it¡¯s actually a Demon cultivator at the Peak of the Foundation Building stage. No wonder Wang Xiaolun was tied up. The so-called Demonic cultivators are referred to those demons who restrained their nature and pursued the immortal path. Except that they were not human, they were no different from human cultivators in all other aspects. After cultivating to a certain level, they could transform into humans. As for those demons who let their nature take a shortcut, they were called Demonic beasts. Although they could also transform into human form after cultivating to a certain extent, they could only transform into a half-human, half-demon appearance at most. In general, it was definitely better to encounter a Demonic cultivator than a Demonic beast. This was also the main reason why Cheng Xu did not immediately run away. At least, seeing from Wang Xiaolun¡¯s situation, this Locust tree Demon should not have any ill intentions, or else Wang Xiaolun would have died long ago. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Senior was cultivating here. I¡¯m sorry for offending you.¡± Cheng Xu saluted the huge Pagoda tree from far away. ¡°Little fellow, you do know some manners.¡± A slightly aged voice came from therge Pagoda tree. At the same time, Bai CI¡¯er and the other two people also came over one after another. After seeing Wang Xiaolun¡¯s condition, they were all shocked. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Han Yue asked nervously. ¡°It seems to be a Demon cultivator Senior,¡± Cheng Xu exined, ¡°But I don¡¯t think he has any ill intentions.¡± The Locust tree spoke again ¡°This brat doesn¡¯t know any manners. He came up and ruined the food that the mortals offered to me. I¡¯ve punished him. Since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll hand him over to you.¡± The vines around Wang Xiaolun unwrapped and threw him in front of everyone. ¡°Leave quickly and don¡¯t disturb my cultivation.¡± Cheng Xu and others looked at each other in shock, somewhat dumbfounded. Wang Xiaolun stood up with his face covered in dust and embarrassedly cupped his fists at the big Pagoda tree and apologized, ¡°I¡¯ve offended you! I¡¯ve offended you!¡± Seeing that the big Locust tree was toozy to respond to him, Wang Xiaolun hurriedly gestured for everyone to retreat. ¡°Why are you still standing there? Let¡¯s go!¡± However, Cheng Xu and the other three remained unmoved, and looked at the big Locust tree thoughtfully. ¡°May I ask if Senior has seen any traces of Devil path cultivators?¡± Cheng Xu asked respectfully. ¡°A Demonic cultivator?¡± ¡°You¡¯re here to investigate the recent Demonic cultivators?¡± The Schr tree seemed a little surprised. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°There are indeed Demonic activities in Heluo, but what does it have to do with me?¡± The will of the giant Locust tree teased. ¡°We Yao cultivators are toozy to get involved in the dispute between good and evil.¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. It was better to have some clues than nothing. ¡°I wonder if Senior can reveal some clues?¡± Cheng Xu asked tentatively. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I don¡¯t want to get involved in your human affairs.¡± ¡°..¡±Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and frowned in confusion.¡±Senior, aren¡¯t you afraid of the Devil path threatening you?¡± ¡°If they dare toe, this old master will naturally drive them away.¡± Therge Locust tree seemed to be very confident in his own strength. ¡°What if it¡¯s a fiendish cultivator more powerful than you?¡± ¡°If there were any golden core Demonic cultivators in the vicinity, I wouldn¡¯t have stayed here,¡± therge Locust tree chuckled. Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other, speechless. He felt that this Locust tree demon was a little stubborn. However, from the information disclosed by the Locust tree demon, there shouldn¡¯t be any Golden core Demonic cultivators in the Heluo Kingdom. Seeing that the Locust tree demon was not willing to get involved in the dispute between the righteous and demonic paths, Cheng Xu and the others could only leave helplessly and think of a way on their own. However, before they could walk out of Huai city, a change suddenly struck. Therge Locust tree seemed to have sensed something in its silence, and its branches and leaves suddenly trembled violently.¡±Not good-!¡± Cheng Xu turned around and looked at the big Pagoda tree in surprise. Before they could ask, the night sky was dyed a fiery red. Just like the scene on Grand Cloud mountain, the entire Huai city was shrouded in a formation in an instant. ¡°Hehehe, old Huai tree, weren¡¯t you very arrogant earlier? I¡¯d like to see how much longer you can be arrogant this time.¡± The Demonic Dao cultivator¡¯s maniacalughter came from the sky.¡±I¡¯ll definitely turn you into charcoal today!¡± In an instant, the entire Huai city was aze, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a sea of fire. The city echoed with the panicked screams of the mortals. Cheng Xu and the others had never seen such a brutal scene before. They were all dumbfounded, their faces pale. ¡°Detestable Devil cultivator, I¡¯ll fight you to the death-!¡± The pagoda tree roared in anger, and an emerald green light quickly spread throughout the entire city. Vines broke through the ground and rose from all over the city, starting to attack the surrounding formations. However, the Devil Dao had clearlye prepared. The terrifying purgatory formation restrained therge Locust tree. ¡®Fine ~ there¡¯s no need to look anymore. The fiendish cultivator is directly riding on my face!¡¯ Cheng Xu smiled bitterly. ¡°Let¡¯s think of a way to break the formation. Otherwise, we¡¯ll all die!¡± Yue Yang shook his head in despair. ¡°This purgatory formation is a third-tier formation. It¡¯s not easy to break it from the inside.¡± BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The pagoda tree was still madly attacking the formation¡¯s lightyer, and its branches and leaves were already on fire. At the same time, the temperature inside the array was also rising continuously. Fortunately, Yue Yang took out a set of formation disks in time and set up ayer of defensive formation around them, which barely allowed everyone to withstand the high temperature. ¡°Damn it, isn¡¯t your Divine Hall very powerful?¡± Wang Xiaolun¡¯s face was twisted as heined, ¡°You can¡¯t even break a formation?¡± ¡°Tier 3 grand array! If you can do it, then go ahead!¡± Yue Yang said unhappily. ¡°The demonic cultivator outside is at least in the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.¡± Han Yue sighed in despair. ¡°Even if we can break the formation, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± ¡°Then what should we do? We can¡¯t just wait for death, can we?¡± Wang Xiaolun was going crazy. Although Bai CI¡¯er was scared out of her wits, her mind was still clear. ¡°If we can help the Senior Locust tree win this battle, we might still have a chance!¡± ¡°Yes, there¡¯s still that old tree!¡± Wang Xiaolun¡¯s eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw. As he spoke, he hurriedly flew towards the trunk of the Pagoda tree, helping the Pagoda tree block the mes of the purgatory formation. ¡°I have a fire repelling talisman!¡± Han Yue¡¯s hope was reignited. She immediately took out a few fire repelling talismans and attached them to various parts of the Pagoda tree. Unfortunately, the Pagoda tree was simply toorge, so Han Yue¡¯s fire repelling talisman could only protect a few key parts of the tree. Chapter 22 ying Demons Together Naturally, Cheng Xu also contributed. The Mystic Water Chant split into several streams of water to put out the mes on the Big Locust Tree. ¡°Senior, do you still think you can stay out of this?¡± Cheng Xu said helplessly. ¡°Cut the crap!¡± The Big Locust Tree¡¯s face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a bad mood, ¡°Hurry up and think of a way to help this old man break that fire array, or else we¡¯ll all die here today.¡± ¡°In the current situation, we can only rely on Senior.¡± Cheng Xu sighed and asked, ¡°By the way, can Senior take medicinal pills?¡± ¡°Of course, you can. If you have any medicinal pills, quickly bring them over.¡± Cheng Xu immediately took out a variety of Qi-returning and healing pills from his storage bag. Without waiting for Cheng Xu to hand it over, a few tree vines rolled the pill over. After eating the pill, the Big Locust Tree¡¯s condition improved a little, and the strength of the attack on the formation also increased. With the help of everyone, the pressure the Big Locust Tree faced also decreased a lot. ¡°Little guys, think of a way to help me break the formation and save the mortals!¡± The Big Locust Tree activated its vital essence and formed an emerald green protective barrier around it. It then controlled its vines to drag the surviving mortals into the barrier. ¡°Senior, at a time like this, you still care about saving mortals?¡± Wang Xiaolun didn¡¯t understand. Unfortunately, the Big Locust Tree didn¡¯t pay any attention to him and continued to save the surviving mortals. While Cheng Xu and the others were helping the Big Locust Tree, they also began to guide the mortals into the protective shield. ¡­ Above the formation, ate-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator stood in the air with a Formation Disk in his hand. He was surprised to find that someone was helping the Big Locust Tree. ¡°Interesting. I didn¡¯t expect to have such an unexpected harvest.¡± The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator clearly didn¡¯t think much of Cheng Xu¡¯s group of five. ¡°Old Locust Tree, stop struggling. I¡¯m definitely going to get your demon core today!¡± After he finished speaking, he poured his True Qi into the Formation Disk and increased the fire. The mes and temperature within the array rose even higher. The condition of Cheng Xu and the others was also getting worse and worse. Fortunately, before they left, the sect had prepared all kinds of pills for everyone. With the support of the pills, the five of them could barely hold on. ¡°Brother Yue, do you have the array diagram of this Great Inferno Hell Array ?¡± Seeing that the formation was still not broken, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but turn his eyes to Yue Yang. ¡°There is, but with my current ability, I can¡¯t fullyprehend a Grade 3 formation.¡± Yue Yang was secretly helpless. ¡°I¡¯ll try.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Can you do it? That¡¯s a Tier 3 formation.¡± Although Yue Yang¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, he still took out the book that recorded the Great Inferno Hell Array from his storage bag. Cheng Xu took the book and quickly read it with his Evil Eyes. The detailed diagram of the Great Inferno Hell Array appeared clearly in Cheng Xu¡¯s mind. The data for the application of [ formation ] had also increased by 23.7MB, and his formation skills had improved. ¡°Senior, can you pull me up to the top of the tree to broaden my vision?¡± Although the Big Locust Tree didn¡¯t know what Cheng Xu was going to do, it still threw out a vine and pulled Cheng Xu up to the top of the tree. Cheng Xu, who had arrived at the top of the tree, once again activated the Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Spells and looked around. He had a panoramic view of the Purgatory Formation that enveloped the entire Schrtree City. His CPU was performing high-speed calctions, and the structure of the formation flowing within the formation¡¯s light barrier was clearly visible. The Purgatory Formation built by the fiendish cultivators actually had five to six weak points, but their positions were all rather strange. ¡°Senior, attack these positions!¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately sent the location of five or six weak points to the Big Locust Tree through his Spiritual Sense. The Big Locust Tree was slightly startled and immediately began to attack the weak points of the Great Inferno Hell Array with all its strength. The effect was obvious. With just the first impact, the Array Light Barrier that enveloped the city began to tremble violently. ¡°Little guy, you did it. This old man owes you a favor!¡± The Big Locust Tree was overjoyed and once againunched an attack at the weak point of the formation. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The formation¡¯s light barrier grew dimmer and dimmer under the Big Locust Tree¡¯s violent impact. Yue Yang, who was below, was stunned, ¡°You¡¯ve already mastered the Great Inferno Hell Array? This¡­ Is it possible?¡± When he looked at the Foundation Establishment Fiendish Cultivators outside the formation, he was already shocked. He clearly didn¡¯t expect the Locust Tree to be able to find the weak point of the formation. ¡°Damn it, where did this little brate from? How dare he spoil this Taoist master¡¯s ns?!¡± Arge amount of Blood Qi rose around the fiendish cultivator¡¯s body as he used all his strength to maintain the stability of the formation. Seeing this, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but ask in a serious tone, ¡°Senior, if we break the formation, do you have the confidence to defeat that fiendish cultivator?¡± ¡°I might not be able to kill it, but I¡¯m still confident in repelling it!¡± The Big Locust Tree muttered. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s tensed heart was finally at ease. While he waited for the formation to break, the Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Spells looked at the formation te floating in the fiendish cultivator¡¯s hand, paying close attention to its condition. While Cheng Xu was monitoring the status of the array disc, the CPU and GPU in his mind began to operate wildly. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s the problem?¡± Cheng Xu was confused. A series of jumping data appeared in his mind, as well as a system message: [breaking the formation¡­] ¡°What do you mean? The cultivationputer has such a function?¡± Cheng Xu was both surprised and delighted. The battle was still going on, but Cheng Xu¡¯s head was starting to hurt and heat up, and his consciousness was blurring. It was very clear that wanting to crack a Tier-3 Grand Array wasn¡¯t that easy. [Ding! The formation has been sessfully cracked, obtaining Control Authority¡­] Good Lord, this wasn¡¯t cracking, this was directly hacking into the array disc. Very quickly, Cheng Xu¡¯s Divine Sense connected to the array disc in the fiendish cultivator¡¯s hand. The entire array was under his control. ¡°Senior, stop attacking the formation. Get ready to attack the fiendish cultivator!¡± ¡°What?¡± The Big Locust Tree was just about to ask why, but in the next second, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The expression of the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator in the air suddenly changed. Immediately after, the light barrier of the formation that enveloped the entire town quickly dissipated and turned into a formation barrier that enveloped the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator. The monstrous mes instantly began to attack the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator. The strange situation stunned everyone. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Howe I can¡¯t control the formation?¡± The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator panicked. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He hurriedly threw out the array disc in his hand and struck out a blood-colored palm print in the air, trying to shatter the array disc. However, it was blocked by a few vines that came flying up from below. ¡°Hahaha,¡± the Big Locust Treeughed. ¡°Demon, die!¡± Thick tree vines broke out of the ground around the town and interweaved into arge that covered the sky and the sun. It wrapped around the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator. ¡°Motherf*cker!¡± The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator cursed in his heart. He wanted to break the of vines and retreat, but he was pinned down by the attack of the Great Inferno Hell Array. The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator couldn¡¯t withstand the full power of the Locust Tree¡¯s attackbined with the Great Inferno Hell Array¡¯s attack. He gritted his teeth and took out a bead with surging Blood Qi. He broke the of vines and continued to attack the array. ¡°Big Locust Tree, what did you do to Grandpa Dao¡¯s formation te?!¡± The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was hysterical. As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light shot over from below. ¡°Demon, your death is here-!¡± Wang Xiaolun sneered as he controlled his flying sword and attacked with all his might. With the Big Locust Tree as his backing, he wasn¡¯t panicking at all. ¡°Hmph! A mere early Foundation Stage kid is not worthy of¡­¡± The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was disdainful. He was about to block Wang Xiaolun¡¯s flying sword, but he was tightly entangled by two vines. The next second, Wang Xiaolun¡¯s flying sword was alreadying. The flying sword pierced through the fiendish cultivator¡¯s shoulder, and the mes of the Great Inferno Hell Array quickly engulfed him. The hysterical screams of the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator reverberated in the night sky. Then, he was smashed down by a thick tree vine. ¡°Ate Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator is nothing more than this!¡± After Wang Xiaolun¡¯s sword hit the demon, he began to feel proud. When he saw the demon being smashed to the ground by the tree vines, he immediately chased after him. Cheng Xu and the others followed closely behind to encircle and annihte them. In the open space outside the city, the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was already in a sorry state. His entire abdomen had been pierced by a vine, and he looked like amp that had run out of oil. ¡°Brother Wang, be careful!¡± Han Yue eximed. But Wang Xiaolun had already rushed forward confidently. In the next second, Wang Xiaolun let out a blood-curdling scream as he was forced back by a surging blood-red light, spitting out blood. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t pay attention to Wang Xiaolun. Under the cover of the Big Locust Tree¡¯s vines, he kept a safe distance and said, ¡°Qi!¡± The huge character ¡°Qi¡± in ancient seal script appeared above Cheng Xu¡¯s head, which stunned Bai Ci¡¯er and the others. ¡°What was that move?¡± Yue Yang asked curiously. The Qi word mantra sessfully disrupted the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator¡¯s true Qi and worsened his injuries. [ poison ivy ] followed. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Dark green poisonous vines broke out from the ground beneath the fiendish cultivator¡¯s feet and tied him firmly to the spot. The poison on the poisonous vines also flowed into the fiendish cultivator¡¯s body through his wounds, causing his entire body to go numb. ¡°So strong!¡± Surprised, Han Yue took the opportunity to throw out a piece of talisman paper, which turned into a ming tornado and swept toward the fiendish cultivator. Bai Ci¡¯er and Yue Yang didn¡¯t stay idle either, and they used their killer moves to focus fire. Wang Xiaolun, who was supposed to be the main force of the team, was seriously injured on the side and was just a bystander. ¡°Poison!¡± Cheng Xu immediately followed up with a venomous word mantra, further intensifying the poison in the fiendish cultivator¡¯s body. Just like that, under thebined efforts of everyone and the attack of the Big Locust Tree¡¯s vines, the poor Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator screamed in pain and turned into a ¡°roastedmb¡± that was pierced through the vines. He died a miserable death and didn¡¯t understand why his formation had turned around to attack him. After confirming that the fiendish cultivator was dead, everyone felt relieved. Logically speaking, it would be better to capture the fiendish cultivator alive. However, this fiendish cultivator was too powerful, so it wasn¡¯t realistic to capture him alive. ¡°Amazing, brother Cheng!¡± Yue Yang looked at Cheng Xu in surprise. ¡°What was that move just now?¡± ¡°The inheritance left behind by the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s ancestor is called the Medicinal Law Mantra.¡± Cheng Xu straightened his back proudly. ¡°Then what¡¯s with the Great Inferno Hell Array?¡± ¡°That eye technique of mine can be controlled by divine sense from a distance,¡± Cheng Xu casually made up a story. ¡°I took advantage of his inattentiveness and controlled the array disk in his hand.¡± ¡°I can¡­ Like this?¡± Yue Yang was greatly shocked, his face full of disbelief. In addition, he couldn¡¯t believe that Cheng Xu had been able toprehend the formation diagram of the Great Inferno Hell Array in such a short time. Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled, hiding his achievements and fame. Seeing that everyone was surrounding Cheng Xu, Wang Xiaolun, who was standing at the side, felt a little upset. ¡°Tsk ~?Brother Wang¡¯s flying sword was the key, okay?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Yue Yang smiled and ttered, ¡°Brother Wang¡¯s sword was indeed very crucial, but he was a little too reckless in the end.¡± Hearing this, Wang Xiaolun¡¯s heart finally felt better. However, the strength that Cheng Xu had disyed just now had indeed impressed him and even made him feel a little admiration. Chapter 23 The Demonic Woman With such a powerful teammate, the chances of winning the first prize would be higher. This was especially so after he had taken down the Late Foundation establishment Devil cultivator. One must know that the final mission ranking was determined by the importance of killing a Devil cultivator and obtaining information. They had taken down a Late-stage Foundation establishment Devil cultivator. Even the Milky Way battleship could notpare to them. ¡°Let¡¯s search the body of the Devil cultivator first and see if we can find any useful clues.¡± Wang Xiaolun¡¯s injuries improved a lot after he took the pill. A group of people went up and searched for a long time. They only found a token with the words ¡®Blood Demon sect¡¯ written on it and a high-quality storage bag. But the embarrassing thing was that with their strength, they couldn¡¯t erase the spiritual awareness imprint of the Late Foundation establishment stage. Therefore, the five of them naturally thought of the Senior Pagoda tree. At this time, Huai city had already been burned into ruins. At a nce, it was full of devastation. Compared to the peaceful and happy scene when they first came, it was really sad. The mortals who had survived had already begun to rebuild their homes. After seeing Cheng Xu and the others, they knelt on both sides of the road. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t manage to save more people.¡± Bai CI¡¯er¡¯s eyes turned red and she med herself. ¡°Don¡¯t say that, everyone has already tried their best.¡± Han Yue consoled. Cheng Xu¡¯s heart was also very heavy. As a person who had transmigrated from a civilized world, his heart had suffered a great blow. Perhaps it was just as described in cultivation novels. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals were no different from ants. ¡°The little ones are back?¡± The big Locust tree¡¯s voice seemed a little weak.?¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s really all thanks to you little guys this time.¡± ¡°Senior¡¯s words are too serious. Without Senior¡¯s help, we would also have been buried here.¡± ¡°I thought I could stay out of it,¡± the schr tree sighed. ¡°It seems that I was too naive. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be difficult for little Southern heaven to be peaceful in the future.¡± Cheng Xu and the others couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad. ¡°I can¡¯t stay here any longer. I¡¯m going to move the mortals in the city to another ce. I¡¯m a Locust tree nted by a mortal,¡± the Schr tree said sadly. ¡°I¡¯ve also gained sentience because of the incense of the mortals in the city for generations. I¡¯ll do my best to protect their descendants.¡± ¡°Senior doesn¡¯t like to fight, so you should indeed find a ce far away from this.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu and the other four all bowed to show their respect. ¡°That¡¯s right, can Senior help us erase the spiritual sense mark on this storage bag?¡± Wang Xiaolun took out the Demonic cultivator¡¯s storage bag. The Pagoda tree smiled and easily wiped away the Demonic cultivator¡¯s spiritual awareness imprint. The group hurriedly sent their spiritual senses in to check. In addition to some Spirit stones and Demonic cultivation resources that were filled with Blood Qi, there were also a few misceneous ancient scrolls and books, as well as some gold and silver items from the secr world. ¡°What are these medicinal pills that are emitting Blood Qi?¡± Cheng Xu took out a few Blood Qi pills. Even with his alchemy skills, he couldn¡¯t see through these things. The Locust tree said, ¡°It should be the Blood Demon pill made by the Blood Demon sect with the flesh and blood of mortals. After taking it, it can quickly improve one¡¯s cultivation. However, it will also leave evil Qi in the body and affect one¡¯s nature.¡± When they learned that it was a pill refined from the flesh and blood of mortals, Cheng Xu and the others all revealed looks of disgust. For cultivators of the righteous sects like them, they naturally disdained to use such evil things to improve their cultivation. ¡°Senior, how much do you know about the Blood Demon sect? Can you give us more information on them?¡± Cheng Xu continued to ask for advice. ¡°I don¡¯t know the exact details. I only know that around three years ago, some cultivators who call themselves the Blood Demon sect started to move around in the Heluo Kingdom. If you want to continue your investigation, you can go to the South of the Heluo Kingdom and try.?but don¡¯t take too many risks,¡± the Locust tree said. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, there should be another Late-stage foundation building fiend cultivator in Heluo.¡± ¡°Many thanks for Senior¡¯s reminder. We will seriously consider it.¡± Just like that, under everyone¡¯s gazes, the giant Locust tree broke free from the ground and revealed its thick roots. Using its roots as legs, it brought the mortals who had survived in the city and moved to other ces. Cheng Xu found the formation disk of the great purgatory formation in the ruins. He didn¡¯t stay in the city. After leaving Huai city, he headed toward the South of Heluo Kingdom. Although Heluo country was full of danger, their mission this time was to risk their lives. Even if they encountered another Late-stage Foundation establishment Devil cultivator, they would still have the ability to escape. ¡°The Demonic cultivators here should be from the same group as those who attacked Grand Cloud mountain.¡± Bai CI¡¯er analyzed. ¡°Indeed,¡± Cheng Xu agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s be more careful from now on. I feel that the Blood Demon sect is much more terrifying than we thought.¡± .. The team traveled South of Heluo Kingdom for two days. Along the way, they didn¡¯t find any traces of the Blood Demon sect, which made them very confused. ¡°That¡¯s strange. Didn¡¯t they say that there are many Devil cultivators in Heluo? Why can¡¯t I see a single one of them?¡± Wang Xiaolun couldn¡¯t help but suspect that the Pagoda tree was deliberately scaring them. ¡°It¡¯s a little strange.¡± Cheng Xu nced at the map. ¡°We¡¯ve already reached the hintends of Heluo. By right now, we should be able to find traces of the Devil Dao.¡± Just as everyone was confused, an early Foundation establishment cultivator descended from the sky on a sword. ¡°Fellow Daoists, please wait.¡± The person who came was a female cultivator with delicate features. She spoke very politely. ¡°May I ask where you are from?¡± Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other with slight vignce and reported their names one by one. ¡°So, it¡¯s fellow Daoists from the four righteous sects and the Medicine Immortal Valley. Sorry for my disrespect ~!¡± The female cultivator¡¯s eyes were full of surprise, and she introduced herself, ¡°I¡¯m Xu Lu, a disciple of the Jade Pure sect from the Heavenly Dragon Mountain.¡± ¡°The Jade Pure sect? I think it¡¯s a small sect in Heluo,¡± Han Yue thought to herself. ¡°I wonder what business fellow Daoists have with my Heavenly Dragon Mountain?¡± The female cultivator named Xu Lu asked curiously. Cheng Xu lowered his head and looked at the map. It was indeed the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in front of him. However, he felt that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him, so he tried to read her data without making a sound. When Wang Xiaolun saw a beautiful woman, he immediately revealed the purpose of his visit. ¡°So fellow Daoists are here to investigate the Blood Demon sect?¡± Xu Lu¡¯s eyes flickered and sheughed. ¡°To be honest, the Jade Pure sect has been fighting against the Blood Demon sect for many years. Fellow Daoists, if you don¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you follow me back to Mount Tianlong and use the information that the Jade Pure sect has to eliminate the Demons of the Blood Demon sect together?¡± When Wang Xiaolun and the other three heard this, their eyes lit up. After all, they were here to investigate. Wouldn¡¯t it be great to share information with the local cultivation sects? ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble sister Xu Lu.¡± Wang Xiaolun was already overjoyed. His eyes sized up Xu Lu¡¯s body, and the more he looked, the more excited he felt. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Although this female cultivator named Xu Lu didn¡¯t have an outstanding appearance, she had delicate features and was very pleasing to the eye. The most important thing was that the loose robe couldn¡¯t hide her hot figure. For people like Wang Xiaolun, it was too lethal. Even Yue Yang, who was standing at the side, felt a little restless. ¡°It¡¯s the Jade Pure sect¡¯s honor to receive the help of the four major Orthodox sects. Fellow Daoists, please follow me.¡± Xu Lu smiled and motioned for everyone to follow her to the Heavenly Dragon Mountain. However, Cheng Xu frowned and stopped the impatient Wang xiaolun. ¡°Brother Wang, please calm down.¡± He had read Xu Lu¡¯s data. [Xu Lu] [Cultivation: Early stage of Foundation establishment] [Cultivation method: Blood Magic technique] [Martial arts techniques: Yin-yang Harmony Art, Blood Cotton Palm, Boiling Blood, Bloodthirsty spell¡­] Yes, this woman¡¯s cultivation method was exactly the same as the Demon prince he had met on the Grand Cloud mountain, the ¡®Blood Magic method.¡¯ From this, it could be seen that this person was not a cultivator of the Jade Pure sect at all, but the witch of the Bloody Demon sect who had disguised herself as a cultivator of the Jade Pure sect. ¡°Why?¡± Wang Xiaolun looked at Cheng Xu unhappily. ¡°It¡¯s a great opportunity, what¡¯s there to hesitate about? The Jade Pure sect has been fighting against the Blood Demon sect for many years, so they must have more information than us.¡± ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, did you notice something?¡± Bai CI¡¯er asked thoughtfully. Cheng Xu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the Demonic woman with a faint smile. ¡°Fairy, you¡¯re already at the Foundation establishment stage at such a young age. I believe your status in the Jade pure sect is not low, right?¡± ¡°Why are you suddenly asking about this?¡± Xu Lu pretended to be confused. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel that Fairy is a genius, much more outstanding than us disciples from therge sects.¡± Cheng Xu secretlyughed. Hearing this, Bai CI¡¯er and the other two also faintly realized that something was wrong. Only Wang Xiaolun was still helping an outsider. ¡°Brother Cheng, that¡¯s where you¡¯re wrong. Sister Xu Lu is extremely talented, what are you jealous of? Didn¡¯t I also reach the Early Foundation establishment stage at such a young age?¡± Cheng Xu rolled his eyes. Damn it, why did he form a team with such trash in the first ce? When Xu Lu saw this, she immediately pretended to be aggrieved andined to Wang Xiaolun, ¡°Big brother Wang, your friend doesn¡¯t seem to trust this little sister.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid! Sister! I¡¯m here. I believe you!¡± Wang Xiaolun stepped forward and held Xu Lu¡¯s hand, his expression was a little dazed. ¡°I think Junior Brother Cheng is right,¡±Bai CI¡¯er said in time. ¡°We don¡¯t know much about the Jade Pure sect. It¡¯s better to be cautious.¡± ¡°Oh ~ little sister CI¡¯er, are you jealous of your brother?¡± Wang Xiaolun felt very good about himself. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Cheng Xu directly exposed her. ¡°That¡¯s enough, Demoness. There¡¯s no point in you acting like this.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, what are you saying?¡± Xu Lu still refused to admit it. ¡°How can I be a demonic woman?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This little sister looks so familiar. How can she be a person of the Devil path? ¡± Wang Xiaolun said stubbornly. ¡°..¡±ck lines appeared on Cheng Xu¡¯s head. ¡°Please use your brain. Which female disciple of a prestigious sect would let you hold her hand so casually? In addition, didn¡¯t you notice that this girl¡¯s magic robe is a little casual?¡± At first nce, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the demoness, but if you looked closely, you would realize that there was not even a lining under the robe, and it was just worn loosely on the body. Which female disciple of a proper sect would dress like this? ¡°Pfft! What do you know? This is love at first sight for me and sister Xu Lu! I think you¡¯re just jealous!¡± Wang Xiaolun snorted. At this point, Cheng Xu seemed to have understood something. Although Wang Xiaolun was a little brainless and lecherous, he was not that stupid. He had probably fallen for that Demoness¡¯s trap and was bewitched by some sort of Charm technique. Chapter 24 Capture Alive Since that was the case, there was no use in trying to persuade him further, so they could only start fighting. ¡°You¡¯re a fairy from the Jade Pure Sect, right? Sorry to offend!¡± Cheng Xu signaled Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two with his eyes to ready them to take action. This time, Xu Lu could no longer pretend. Her expression turned cold, and she twisted Wang Xiaolun¡¯s arm behind her back. Her other hand clutched her captive¡¯s neck, and sharp blood-red nails appeared on her fingertips. ¡°Don¡¯t move! I¡¯ll kill him if you move again!¡± Xu Lu¡¯s previous attitude hadpletely changed, as if she was a different person. Cheng Xu and the other three had no choice but to stop. ¡°Interesting~ How did a little man like you find out that I wasn¡¯t a cultivator from the Jade Pure Sect?¡± Xu Lu looked at Cheng Xu with great interest, her eyebrows were full of charm. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Why not ask yourself if your disguise was so full of ws?¡± Cheng Xuughed mockingly. ¡°Interesting~¡± Xu Lu sneered as she replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet the disciples of one of the four sects of the righteous path on a casual trip. I wanted to y with you more, but I never expected you to be so unromantic.¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense and release him!¡± Cheng Xu said coldly. ¡°Ya, ya, ya! Are you threatening me? When I¡¯ve captured the only Early-stage Foundation Building cultivator in your group?¡± Xu Lu sneered. ¡°Can you Peak-stage Qi Refining cultivators even fight me?¡± That made Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two look at each other, their expressions grave. Only Cheng Xu¡¯s expression did not change. Because victory was in his hands. At the same time, Wang Xiaolun, who had a dazed look in his eyes, gradually woke up. After which, he was trembling in fear. ¡°Fairy? Bah! Demoness, can¡¯t we just talk about this? In the first ce, it wasn¡¯t right for you to lie like that.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Xu Lu shouted coldly, which immediately shut Wang Xiaolun up. Although he didn¡¯t know what had just happened, he could feel that his meridians had been sealed by a special force, and he couldn¡¯t resist at all. ¡°If you want to save your friend, that¡¯s fine too. Little man Cheng, as long as you obediently crawl to my feet, I might just give him a chance to escape.¡± Cheng Xu simply rolled his eyes. However, Wang Xiaolun seemed to be holding on this as a life-saving straw. ¡°Brother Cheng, as the saying goes, a man should be flexible! When we go back, I will definitely give you a satisfactorypensation.¡± ¡°By the way, have you woken up yet?¡± Cheng Xu suspected that this guy was still in a state of bewitchment. ¡°Stop hesitating! Your brother¡¯s life is more important.¡± Cheng Xu was toozy to pay attention to him any longer. He sized up this demonic woman in front of him with a faint smile before saying, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve only known this guy for a few days. We don¡¯t have much of a friendship. If you want to kill him, feel free to do so.¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Lu couldn¡¯t help but be a little confused. ¡®Not even bothering to save his teammates? This didn¡¯t seem like the style of a righteous cultivator!¡¯ Wang Xiaolun felt even more anxious. ¡°Brother Cheng, don¡¯t talk nonsense! I¡¯ve worked hard along the way. Even If I have offended you in any way, please don¡¯t say such things!¡± ¡°Cough, cough! Senior Brother Wang of the Scorching Sun Sect risked his life and died together with a demonic woman.¡± Cheng Xu looked at Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two with a righteous expression. ¡°Why don¡¯t we all attack together and avenge Senior Brother Wang?¡± ¡°D-don¡¯t, Brother Cheng, let¡¯s talk this out!¡± Wang Xiaolun was so scared that he was almost crying. Yue Yang and Han Yue were also confused,¡±If it¡¯s like this¡­ This isn¡¯t too good, is it?¡± However, Cheng Xu secretly gave them a look. Han Yue and Yue Yang seemed to understand something and immediately surrounded the demonic woman. Seeing this, Wang Xiaolun looked like he¡¯d lost all hope. Although he knew that he was very annoying, there was no need to treat him like this, right?! Xu Lu was stunned by their actions. ¡°You don¡¯t care about the life and death of your teammates? You righteous people are really meddlesome hypocrites! Since that¡¯s the case, this Great Aunt of yours will y with you.¡± As she spoke, her blood Qi surged as she was about to stab Wang Xiaolun¡¯s throat. ¡°Now!¡± At the critical moment, Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes suddenly turned into deep ck holes, causing Xu Lu to fall into a temporary daze. Then, he stepped forward and kicked her away, saving Wang Xiaolun. Wang Xiaolun, who was still wailing in despair just a second ago, reacted with another next kick. He was overjoyed! ¡°Hahaha, my Brother Cheng is amazing!¡± ¡°Cut the crap and prepare for battle. Don¡¯t let this demoness escape! Capture her alive,¡± Cheng Xu snapped. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Wang Xiaolun sneered at Xu Lu, ¡°I¡¯ll let her know what true cruelty is!¡± Then, he threw his flying sword at Xu Lu. Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two didn¡¯t waste any words and started to attack her as well. Yue Yang held an array board in his hand and immediately set up an array in the surroundings to prevent the demoness from escaping. At the same time, he casually struck out a Lightning Palm. However, just as everyone¡¯s attacks were about to hit this wicked witch, a familiar blood-colored bronze bell rushed out from her body and blocked everyone¡¯s attacks. ¡°It¡¯s that Bell again?!¡± Bai Ci¡¯er naturally recognized the bronze bell immediately. Knowing how powerful the bronze bell was, her expression turned serious. At the same time, the demoness, Xu Lu, had also woken up. Obviously, she did not expect to fall into Cheng Xu¡¯s trap. ¡°You twerp! You actually had a divine sense attack eye technique!¡± ¡°Poison!¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t want to waste his breath on her and immediately used Venomous Speech. Xu Lu, who was about to control the bronze bell to fight against the crowd, turned purple in an instant. She stared at Cheng Xu in disbelief as if she had just seen a ghost. ¡°What the hell is this move?¡± ¡°Demoness, weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now?¡± Wang Xiaolun, the emancipated serf, gleefully chided, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you arrogant anymore?¡± Xu Lu took out a few Blood Magic Pills and swallowed them. Her whole body was instantly shrouded in blood qi before her aura kept rising abruptly. Then, the bronze bell that kept on floating around her easily blocked Wang Xiaolun¡¯s flying sword. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll get to experience you bunch of righteous disciples of Little Southern Heaven!¡± After saying that, she struck out with a Blood Cotton Palm, and a strong blood qi surged around his body. But she was still held in ce by Cheng Xu¡¯s Poison Ivy. Bai Ci¡¯er and Han Yue followed closely behind, their sword techniques and fire tornadoes attacking at the same time. BOOM! The blood qi that erupted from the bronze bell easily shattered Poison Ivy and dispersed the attacks from the crowd. ¡°You do have some strength.¡± Xu Lu chuckled before suddenly summoning her flying sword to attack Wang Xiaolun. When Cheng Xu saw this, several streams of water gushed out and surrounded her. At that moment, Xu Lu finally understood that the most powerful one among the five people in front of her was not Wang Xiaolun, but Cheng Xu, who she had been calling a little man. ¡°You want to trap me with this trivial ability? Dream on!¡± She then swallowed a few more Blood Demon Pills which made the blood qi in her body boil even more. Then a tiny blood needle shot out from between her eyebrows, which instantly pierced through the water curtain of the mysterious water spell, and ended up pointing directly at Cheng Xu¡¯s head. The blood needle moved so fast that Cheng Xu had no time to dodge it. He hurriedly put up his Protective Dipper Energy to block it. Bang! Bang! However, the third level of his Protective Dipper Energy was also pierced through by the blood needle like it was merely a bubble. At that critical moment, a small sword broke through the air and blocked the blood needle. And at the same time, the small sword was also broken into two pieces. Cheng Xu looked back with lingering fear and realized that it was Wang Xiaolun who had saved him. ¡°You saved me once and I saved you once. We¡¯re even now!¡± Wang Xiaolun looked at the broken sword on the ground with a pained expression. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°By the way, can you use that divine sense attack of yours again?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Cheng Xu nodded coldly and immediately activated his Evil Eye of Ten Thousand Laws to look at Xu Lu. Unfortunately, Xu Lu had already learned her lesson. She did not even dare to look Cheng Xu in the eye. After the bronze bell had umted enough power, it released a terrifying blood-red shock wave and sessfully shattered his mysterious water spell. Just as she was about to retreat on her sword, ayer of light appeared above her and blocked her way. It was the array that Yue Yang had set up behind her. ¡°Damn it¨C!¡± After everything that had happened, Xu Lu was starting to panic. She hurriedly took out a hairpin-like magic treasure, wanting to break the formation. Unfortunately, Cheng Xu and the others¡¯ attacks had already arrived again. Han Yue released a series of golden talismans that surrounded Xu Lu and released electric shocks at her. Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s sword moves circted, and her sword qi condensed into ice lotuses, covering her in ayer of frost. Wang Xiaolun was even more ruthless as he directly condensed all of his true core strength into his flying sword and shot it out. Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz! The bronze bell blocked everyone¡¯s attacks and buzzed. It was already showing signs of decline. In the end, Cheng Xu was forced to use the True White me Technique, which made a pale white fireball with a tinge of red hurtle forward. Bang! Bang! The bronze bell finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and its glow dulled. Xu Lu still wanted to resist, but Cheng Xu¡¯s incantation of ¡°Qi¡± shook her to the point that her breath became chaotic. In the blink of an eye, she was drowned by the attacks of the crowd. ¡°How could this be ¡­¡± As the smoke cleared, Xu Lu could be seenid on the ground, her clothes ragged, gradually losing consciousness. ¡­ When she opened her eyes again, she was already tied to a tree, and her meridians were sealed. And in front of her was Wang Xiaolun, who was rubbing his hands excitedly and swallowing his saliva non-stop. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re finally awake, little demon girl?¡± Wang Xiaolun¡¯s eyes lit up. Cheng Xu and the others, who were busy counting their spoils of war, also came over and sized-up this demoness with a mocking expression. ¡°Tell me, what is your identity in the Blood Demon Church? Where is the stronghold of your cult in the Heluo Kingdom? What kind of shady business have you guys been doing?¡± Cheng Xu raised his eyebrows and asked. However, Xu Lu did not answer any of them. Instead, she started to flirt with Cheng Xu. ¡°Ya~ Handsome boy, you¡¯re a serious type, eh~??Aren¡¯t you going to take advantage of this sister first before asking all these questions?¡± ¡°Cut the crap and tell me the truth!¡± Cheng Xu said with obvious disdain. ¡°What if I don¡¯t want to?¡± Xu Lu had a smile that was not a smile, and her eyes were full of seduction. Seeing this, Wang Xiaolun immediately volunteered, ¡°Leave her to me! I¡¯m the best at interrogating female criminals.¡± Cheng Xu nced at him in annoyance, ¡°If you¡¯re not afraid of being squeezed dry by this demoness, you can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°Uh, then forget it.¡± Although Wang Xiaolun¡¯s heart was raring to scratch a certain itch, he still cared more about keeping his own life. ¡°Little cutie, why don¡¯t you try me out yourself? Let¡¯s see if I can squeeze you dry.¡± Xu Lu looked a bit angry and embarrassed at Cheng Xu. From their captive¡¯s retort, Bai Ci¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°She really is a demonic woman! She has no sense of shame.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only natural for men and women to love each other, so what¡¯s there to be ashamed of?¡± Xu Luughed coquettishly. She wasn¡¯t ashamed but proud! ¡°I¡¯m afraid you haven¡¯t tasted a man yet, have you? Why don¡¯t this big sister here teach you some techniques~?¡± ¡°Moreover, you are so beautiful. It would be a pity if no one ever loves you. There are many strong men in the Blood Demon Church. I can introduce you to them.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s face and ears turned red at her proposition, and she silently skedaddled to the side to hide. On the other hand, Wang Xiaolun became so excited that he kept swallowing his saliva. Chapter 25 Confrontation Cheng Xu had to ponder for a long time before feeling that something was wrong, ¡°Are you perhaps trying to stall for time?¡± Hearing his question, Xu Lu¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°What are you saying, my little cutie? Haven¡¯t I already been captured by you? What could I ever dy you for?¡± Xu Lu feigned being helpless, but secretly, she was constantly trying to charm Cheng Xu. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the man in front of her was like a block of wood, having no reaction at all. What she didn¡¯t know was that Cheng Xu¡¯s sea of consciousness¡¯ ¡®firewall¡¯ was far beyond ordinary people¡¯s. Not to mention her, an Early Foundation Building cultivator, even a Peak Foundation Building cultivator might not be able to invade Cheng Xu¡¯s sea of consciousness. ¡®What a joke! Using seduction to seduce aputer, it would be a miracle if you seeded.¡¯ ¡°Pack your things and get ready to leave.¡± Cheng Xu looked at the crowd with a serious expression. ¡°This demoness is probably stalling for time, waiting for help. We can¡¯t stay here for long.¡± At his prompting, Wang Xiaolun, Bai Ci¡¯er, and the others also became serious. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°Naturally, we¡¯re returning home.¡± Cheng Xuughed. ¡°This demoness must have a high status in the Blood Demon Church. If we¡¯re able to capture such a big fish alive, we¡¯ll definitely be able toplete the mission sessfully.¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Wang Xiaolun and the others¡¯ eyes lit up. As long as they could bring this demoness back, not only would they be able toplete their mission ahead of time, but they might be able to obtain first ce for this first-ss mission. At the thought of this, the group no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to set off. Wang Xiaolun volunteered to untie Xu Lu from the tree himself and then secured her bindings once again, ¡°Leave the task of escorting this demoness to me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t. Let me do it.¡± Cheng Xu subtly shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll fall into her trap.¡± ¡°What are you saying? I¡¯ve already suffered once. Are you saying I¡¯ll fall for it a second time?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t say for sure. Some things could happen again if it happened the first time. So it¡¯s safer for me to escort her.¡± Cheng Xu stepped forward and pulled the demoness to his side, ¡°And if she does anything sneaky on the way, I¡¯ll be able to control her with my eye sorcery.¡± ¡°I also feel that brother Cheng¡¯s escort is more secure.¡± Yue Yang said. At that, Wang Xiaolun could only helplessly hand over this ¡®beautiful task¡¯ to Cheng Xu. And just like that, the group started their escort of the demonic woman back to the sect. Along the way, Xu Lu¡¯s expression was obviously not good. She looked around from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone. ¡°Behave yourself. Otherwise, I might be forced to hang Brother Wang¡¯s underwear over your head, which I don¡¯t rmend.¡± Cheng Xu naturally noticed Xu Lu¡¯s small movements and reminded her with a cold smile. ¡°I¡¯d rather it be a certain handsome boy¡¯s underwear,¡± Xu Lu teased with a smile. ¡°¡­¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s forehead was full of ck lines. Sure enough, in being perverted, it was still the people of the demonic path that was ahead. ¡°Speaking of which, my little cutie, you¡¯re only at the peak stage of the Qi refining stage but you¡¯re already so powerful! It¡¯s a pity for you to stay in such a small sect like the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡±?On the surface, Xu Lu was trying to poach him, but in fact, she was secretly inquiring about Cheng Xu¡¯s situation. ¡°If the Medicine Immortal Valley is a small sect, then doesn¡¯t that mean that the Blood Demon Church is even punier?!¡± Cheng Xuughed and mocked. Xu Lu didn¡¯t get angry and continued to tease, ¡°Handsome boy, you haven¡¯t even had a woman yet, right? Why don¡¯t you just submit to this Elder Sister? To tell you the truth, Elder Sister is very interested in you right now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in you.¡± ¡°How would you know if you don¡¯t try?¡± Xu Lu continued to seduce him. Cheng Xu was toozy to pay any attention to her and continued to escort her along the way. Xu Lu didn¡¯t give up though and continued to ask, ¡°By the way, the two spells that little cutie used just now were really powerful. I wonder what kind of inheritance you¡¯ve inherited?¡± Cheng Xu continued to ignore her. Xu Lu had no choice but to give up when she saw how stubborn Cheng Xu was. Time passed by unknowingly. Eventually, they were less than 100 miles away from the Heluo Kingdom. However, Cheng Xu and the others did not dare to rx. Xu Lu, this demoness, had been talking non-stop along the way. ¡°Soon, soon! We should be safe once we leave the Heluo Kingdom.¡± Wang Xiaolun said excitedly as he was leading the way. However, at that moment, a mysterious smile appeared on Xu Lu¡¯s face. ¡°Handsome, are you sure you don¡¯t want toe to our Blood Demon Church? It¡¯s still not toote to seek shelter now~!¡± When Cheng Xu heard this, he immediately became alert and quickly locked his arms around Xu Lu¡¯s neck. ¡°Not good, I¡¯m afraid that this demoness¡¯ reinforcements have already arrived!¡± Wang Xiaolun and the others immediately looked around nervously. Xu Lu leaned into Cheng Xu¡¯s arms andughed. ¡°As long as you join my Blood Demon Church, I¡¯ll be yours~ Are you sure you don¡¯t want to consider it?¡± ¡°Be honest!¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s face darkened and he tightened his arms so much that Xu Lu could not breathe. At that exact moment, a blood-red light descended from the sky who turned out to be a man with red hair. He had blocked everyone¡¯s way. He was ate-stage Foundation Building?cultivator from the demonic way. After the red-haired mannded, his gaze instantly locked onto Cheng Xu and Xu Lu. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Brat, obediently release the youngdy and this old man will give you a quick and painless death!¡± ¡°Late-stage Foundation Building.¡± Wang Xiaolun and the others took a deep breath, their expressions solemn. Cheng Xu smiled and tightened his grip on Xu Lu as he tried to read the red-haired man¡¯s data, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re mistaken. We should be the ones negotiating with you, right?¡± ¡°You think you¡¯re qualified to raise conditions?¡± The red-haired male sneered in disdain. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t talk nonsense. He directly borrowed a small sword from Wang Xiaolun and stabbed it into Xu Lu¡¯s corbone without any hesitation. Xu Lu writhed in pain, the hatred and humiliation in her eyes growing stronger. ¡°And now?¡± Cheng Xu asked, raising an eyebrow. The red-haired man¡¯s body trembled, and he gritted his teeth in anger, ¡°What a ruthless kid. So what are your conditions? Speak!¡± ¡°First, let mypanions leave safely.¡± ¡°No!¡± Bai CI¡¯er¡¯s eyes were full of rejection, ¡°What will you do if we leave?¡± ¡°As much as I can,¡± Cheng Xu said calmly, ¡°With this demoness in my hands, he won¡¯t dare to do anything to me.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two were about to raise more objections but were interrupted by Cheng Xu. ¡°Stop talking nonsense and just hurry up and leave!¡± Under Cheng Xu¡¯s strong request, Bai Ci¡¯er and the others had no choice but to obey. This was because they knew very well that they were no match for the red-haired man with their strengths. Staying behind would only limit Cheng Xu¡¯s subsequent actions. ¡°Hold on, Brother Cheng. We¡¯ll call for reinforcements to save you as soon as we get back!¡± Wang Xiaolun took a deep look at Cheng Xu, then left with Bai Ci¡¯er and the other two. After letting them go, the red-haired man looked at Cheng Xu again, ¡°Can you let Miss go now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as my friends are still in danger, you and I will be stuck here for four to five days,¡± Cheng Xu pursed his lips and smiled. ¡°¡­¡± The red-haired man was furious. Seeing Xu Lu¡¯s weak and injured appearance, he had no choice but to admit defeat. ¡°Fine, but you have to treat the Young Lady first. If anything happens to her, I¡¯ll make you wish you were dead!¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy. After all, I still need her to save my life.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled as he took out a few pills and stuffed them into Xu Lu¡¯s mouth. A momentter, as the medicine took effect, Xu Lu gradually got better. [Ding! Ding!] [External data intrusion detected. Intercept?] The sudden system notification stunned Cheng Xu. He chose to intercept the attack and sneered at the red-haired man. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s better for you to put away your little tricks for now. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind giving her another stab.¡± The red-haired man was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage could resist his spiritual will technique. ¡®Interesting. No wonder the Young Miss fell into your hands.¡¯ ¡°Alright, Ah¡¯Da, this little handsome guy¡¯s sea of consciousness is extremely strong, so don¡¯t waste your energy,¡± Xu Lu helplessly reminded. The red-haired man called Ah¡¯Da nodded obediently. ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Ah¡¯Er? Didn¡¯t hee with you?¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu became alert again. He had no choice. If another Late-stage Foundation Building devil cultivator came, things might be more difficult. ¡°Second Brother went to subdue that tree demon a few days ago and hasn¡¯t returned yet. It¡¯s apparently not easy to deal with,¡± The red-haired man exined. Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the token of the Blood Demon Church from his storage bag and asked with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this ¡®Second Brother¡¯ you¡¯re talking about is this person?¡± When Xu Lu and the red-haired man saw the token in Cheng Xu¡¯s hand, their eyes narrowed. ¡°How did you get Ah¡¯Er¡¯s token? You¡­¡± Xu Lu stared at Cheng Xu in disbelief. She had a bad feeling. ¡°Tsk, tsk. I can only say that this guy¡¯s luck was bad. He fought with that senior tree demon and both sides were injured, and we took advantage of it.¡± Chen Xu said quite pleased with himself while secretly thinking, ¡®Looks like we were fated to meet.¡¯ ¡°¡­¡± Xu Lu and the red-haired man were both bewildered, their expressions were obviously not good. At the same time, Cheng Xu was finally able to read the red-haired man¡¯s data. He was secretly shocked when he saw the various impressive moves in his repertoire. In addition, the data obtained by the system wasn¡¯tprehensive. Cultivators who had reached the Foundation Stage definitely had a lot of magic weapons. Any magic weapon could already kill them all, but this information couldn¡¯t be obtained by the system. Time passed while they were in this stalemate. Cheng Xu¡¯s nerves were tense the entire time, not daring to rx in the slightest. ¡°Young man, I think you are a smart person. Moreover, the Young Lady also admires you. It¡¯s not toote for you to join our Blood Demon Church now. Otherwise, when our army arrives, it will be toote for you to regret then.¡± The red-haired man tried to persuade Cheng Xu to defect. Unfortunately, Cheng Xu just ignored him. ¡°Do you think we¡¯re simply trying to scare you, handsome?¡± Xu Lu¡¯s eyes were alluring as she smiled. Cheng Xu replied with a sneer, ¡°What a joke! If you demonic cultivators were so powerful, why haven¡¯t you just taken down our little Southern Heaven yet? Instead, haven¡¯t you been hiding in your little corners all this time? ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Xu Luughed and pretended to be mysterious. ¡°It won¡¯t be long before you understand, my little cutie.¡± Although Cheng Xu didn¡¯t quite believe her, he could still feel this group of demons and devilsplete confidence. However, he couldn¡¯t understand what the demonic path was nning. Chapter 26 Wreckage of the Spaceship? Xu Lu¡¯s beautiful eyes sized Cheng Xu up with interest. ¡°Handsome, are you sure you don¡¯t want to consider it? With your ability, it¡¯d be a pity for you to stay in a broken sect like the Medicine Celestial Valley. As long as you join our Blood Demon Sect, I can let bygones be bygones and guarantee that you¡¯ll have a smooth rise in your position in the Blood Demon Sect.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not interested in your demonic path.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. The youngdy is giving you a chance because she thinks highly of you!¡± The red-haired male snorted. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t say anything and continued to fight the red-haired man. Before he knew it, it was already the next day. Xu Lu and the red-haired man were both a little tired. They would asionally discuss some matters of the Blood Demon Church and gradually began to let down their guard. Cheng Xu held Xu Lu hostage quietly, calcting the time in his heart. His teammates should have escaped to a safe position. While the two of them were chatting about the demonic sect¡¯s affairs, Cheng Xu secretly took out a ground-shrinking talisman and asked, ¡°Is your devil path really that powerful?¡± ¡°What, you¡¯ve thought it through?¡± the red-haired male asked teasingly. ¡°That¡¯s the way. Believe me, joining our Blood Demon Church is definitely the wisest choice you¡¯ll ever make in your life. Xu Lu said with seductive eyes. ¡°Eh? Why are you guys back?¡± Cheng Xu suddenly changed the topic and looked in the direction that Bai CI ¡®er and the others had left in surprise. The red-haired man and Xu Lu were slightly shocked and subconsciously turned around to look. In the next second, the small sword that had been on Xu Lu¡¯s neck suddenly disappeared. Xu Lu instantly lost the support behind her and almost fell. ¡°Not good!¡± Xu Lu looked back in shock and saw a ground-shrinking talisman slowly falling and turning into powder with the wind. ¡°Damn it, I¡¯ve been yed by that kid!¡± Xu Lu gritted her teeth in anger. The red-haired man reacted and was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Xu Lu. ¡°Don¡¯t chase him. The quality of the ground-shrinking talisman is extremely high. I¡¯m afraid that the kid is already thousands of miles away. You can¡¯t catch up to him.¡± ¡°Miss, are you alright? That kid didn¡¯t do anything to you, did he?¡± the red-haired man asked with concern. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just a superficial wound.¡± Xu Lu touched the wound on her corbone and sneered, ¡°Cheng Xu from the Medicine Immortal Valley, right? I¡¯ll remember you!¡± ¡­ On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, before he could celebrate his sessful escape, he was dumbfounded by the situation in front of him. ¡°What the hell is this ce?¡± At this moment, what appeared in front of him was an extremely strange, dense forest. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with demonic qi. However, this was not the main point. The main issue was that the ce he was stepping on was a steep rock that was shaking, looking like it was about to break. Moreover, the shape of the entire cliff beneath his feet was also very strange. It waspletely hollow inside, like a fallen tree trunk. After years of erosion, the surface was covered with a thickyer of moss and vegetation. Creak~ creak ~! The mountain rock under his feet could not support Cheng Xu¡¯s weight. As it swayed, a strange sound was heard. ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound right!¡± Cheng Xu carefully retreated to the sturdy cliff behind him. He leaned over to look at the crack in the rock and saw a scene that made him doubt his eyes. Inside the crack, a few rusty metal bars were struggling to maintain the shaky ¡°rock.¡± In that instant, Cheng Xu¡¯s view of the world received an unprecedented shock. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong! Very wrong!¡± Cheng Xu took out a small sword and tried to dig up the soil under his feet. What was exposed in front of him was not a mountain or rock, but a metal with a smooth surface and extremely precise casting technique that was covered with special patterns. Looking at the weirdly-shaped hollow mountain under his feet, Cheng Xu unconsciously swallowed his saliva. This wasn¡¯t a mountain but a huge metal object! ¡°A magic treasure?¡± Cheng Xu pondered, ¡°But isn¡¯t this too big? What kind of awesome immortal cultivators are capable of controlling such an enormous magical equipment?¡± Then here came the problem. Why would such a terrifying treasure be abandoned here? And where was this ce? Cheng Xu took out the map and looked at it for a long time, but he could not find the corresponding location on the map. ¡°Ugh, where did the ground-shrinking talisman send me to?¡± As he cursed, he slid down the t ¡°cliff¡± slope all the way to the foot of the mountain. It took him a long time to reach the breach of the giant magical equipment. It was dark inside with sparse woods growing there. Just as Cheng Xu wanted to go in and take a look, he was frightened by a beast¡¯s roar from the depths of the hole and turned to run. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Judging from the terrifying sense of oppression that the beast¡¯s roar carried, it was very likely a third-rank demonic beast, equivalent to a human golden core stage big shot. Cheng Xu ran madly for a long distance. After confirming that the demonic beast had not caught up, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he turned back to look at the giant magic treasure, he was once again stunned on the spot. Previously, due to the close distance, he could not see the full appearance of the ¡°cliff.¡± Now that he had run far away, the outline of the entire ¡°cliff¡± could be clearly seen. ¡°Flying ship wreckage?¡± That¡¯s right, the cliff was not a giant magic treasure. It was clearly the wreckage of a damaged, giant spaceship. This time, Cheng Xu¡¯s worldview hadpletely exploded. Even spaceships had appeared, which meant that this world was not a simple world of immortal cultivation. It was very likely that there had been a technological civilization, but for some unknown reason, it had be what it was now. ¡°No, if there was a technological civilization in this world, then wouldn¡¯t my humanoidputer be¡­¡± Because of the tier-three demonic beast, Cheng Xu did not dare go back and check. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s not toote to investigate when I have the chance in the future. For now, it¡¯s better to leave as soon as possible!¡± After recovering from the shock, he roughly determined his position, took out a length contraction charm, and activated it in the direction he came from. In the next second, the scene in front of him instantly distorted, and the heavy spatialpression made Cheng Xu breathless. When the distorted scene in front of him gradually became clear, he had already appeared in the middle of a mountain range full of spiritual qi. Cheng Xu took out a map andpared it with the surrounding mountains and directions. Finally, he confirmed his location. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the northern region of Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range? ¡± If they found the Heavenly Dragon Mountains, they would naturally find the location of the Heluo Kingdom. Turning back to look in the direction they hade from, Cheng Xu instantly understood. ording to the map, the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range was the border of the northern region of Mini Southern Heaven. In other words, he had been sent to an area beyond the map by the ground-shrinking talisman. ording to some of the knowledge he had read before, the northern border of Mini Southern Heaven was a ce called the deste monster region. There were many monsters and it was extremely dangerous. It was obviously not a ce he could set foot in at the moment. ¡°Why would there be a spaceship wreckage in the deste demon territory? ¡± While Cheng Xu was puzzled, he looked at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range in front of him. The Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range was thergest mountain range in the northern part of Mini Southern Heaven. It stretched across half of the northern border. As for the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in the Heluo Kingdom, it was just a branch of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain range. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the Heavenly Dragon Mountain¡¯s Yuqing school should have been conquered by the Blood Demon Church.¡± Thinking of Xu Lu¡¯s previous act of impersonating a cultivator of the Pure Jade Sect, the Pure Jade Sect had most likely be a stronghold of the Blood Demon Church. Now that he wanted to go back, he would have to pass by Tian Long Mountain. He could go and check it out. Of course, Cheng Xu was not stupid enough to just barge in. It was just an investigation mission, so he could just observe from afar with the evil eye of ten thousand arts and gather some information. It took Cheng Xu two days and two nights to cross the main mountain range of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain and arrive near the Heavenly Dragon Mountain where the Jade Pure sect was located. He had been tormented along the way. Chapter 27 Forced Foundation Establishment He secretly groped his way to the foot of the mountain where the Jade Pure Sect¡¯s main gate was. From afar, he saw a few cultivators of the Blood Demon Church walking up the mountain along the mountain path. From this, it could be seen that the Yuqing School had indeed been conquered by the Blood Demon Church. Although they were onlyte-stage qi-refining devil cultivators, Cheng Xu did not kill them. Instead, he followed them from a distance. When he was halfway up the mountain, he stopped. Then, he found a hidden high point nearby. ¡°This is a good ce. I can see most of the movement on the mountain with the evil eye of ten thousandws.¡± Then, he used spirit stones to set up a simple formation around him to iste his aura. Just like that, Cheng Xu became a human-shaped ¡°Watchtower¡± hidden on the mountainside of Heavenly Dragon Mountain. He cultivated with chi-amassing pills while observing the movements of the devil cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect. Five days passed in the blink of an eye. There were devil cultivators passing by the mountain paths in his field of vision every day. ¡°I wonder what these devil cultivators are doing,ing in and out every day.¡± After a few days of cultivation, Cheng Xu¡¯s cultivation level kept improving, but there was still a long way to go before he reached the foundation-building stage. Seeing that he had not obtained any valuable information over the past few days, Cheng Xu had thought of returning home. ¡°Eh?¡± Just as Cheng Xu had this thought, a familiar figure appeared on the mountain path in his field of vision. It turned out to be the early foundation stage demon prince he had encountered in the turmoil of the demonic path on the Grand Cloud Mountain. ¡°Interesting. Finally, a big fish!¡± The moment he saw the fiend heir, Cheng Xu immediately dispelled the thought of leaving. ¡­ On the mountain path, the demon prince was currently conversing with his two subordinates. ¡°How¡¯s the holy maiden been?¡± The two subordinates behind him bowed and replied, ¡°Demon Prince, the saintess is fine. There was a small incident a few sunrises ago, and she lost ate-stage foundation establishment elder. ¡°Oh?¡± The demon prince frowned. ¡°Who did this?¡± I heard he¡¯s a disciple of the righteous alliance of Mini Southern Heaven. ¡°The righteous alliance?¡± The demon prince sneered, ¡°How can those few broken sects in little Southern Heaven call themselves the righteous alliance? When my devil dao¡¯s army arrives, we¡¯ll be able to reinforce them faster than thest.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, why did the chief sect send us to little Southern Heaven? There haven¡¯t been any orders for such a long time,¡± the subordinate asked curiously. ¡°The chief has his reasons for asking us toe. Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand. I¡¯ve spoken too much.¡± ¡­ In the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect. The hall that used to be fresh and elegant was now filled with an evil and strange smell. Xu Lu was lyingzily on her side on the throne of the former sect leader of the Jade Pure Sect. Her eyes were slightly closed, and blood qi was surging around her body. A momentter, the demon prince strode in under the lead of his two subordinates. Xu Lu slowly opened her eyes and smiled. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re here? Recently, all the sects in Mini Southern Heaven have formed an alliance of the righteous path to investigate our various demonic sects. Has Big Brother made any movements?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Little Sister. With just your few broken sects, I don¡¯t think they can cause any big waves.¡± The fiend heir¡¯s words were filled with disdain. Xu Lu nodded and continued to ask, ¡°Did you find anything from my brother¡¯s side?¡± ¡°Not yet,¡± The demon prince frowned, his eyes filled with doubt. ¡°But the chief has mobilized so many people, which means there must be something unusual about this little Southern Heaven. ¡°Father wants us to find some clues before the main sect¡¯s army arrives.¡± Xu Lu was secretly distressed. ¡°But we¡¯ve infiltrated little Southern Heaven for almost three years and we still have no clue. ¡°Could we have guessed wrong about the chief¡¯s intentions?¡± The demon prince pondered. ¡°Maybe.¡± Xu Lu sighed and said seriously, ¡°In short, Father¡¯s side is already preparing toe over personally. I think the chief has some new instructions.¡± ¡°Father, aren¡¯t you breaking through? He¡¯s actuallying personally?¡± The demon child was surprised. ¡®It seems that the main sect ces great importance on this matter!¡¯ ¡°As for the details, we can only wait for Father to exin them to us personally.¡± Xu Lu sighed and changed the topic, ¡°By the way, Elder Brother, a few days ago, my disciples caught a few little fairies from the righteous path. I¡¯ve seen them, and they¡¯re all still chaste.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The fiend heir¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. ¡°I know you like this, so I kept them for you.¡± Xu Lu covered her mouth and smiled. ¡°Hahaha¡­ Little Sister is the best at caring for people.¡± The demon princeughed and said impatiently, ¡°How are their looks? Quickly take this brother to take a look.¡± At this moment, the demon prince was already hungry and thirsty. He immediately activated his plucking technique and prepared to face the next fierce battle. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. My cultivation has reached a critical point, and I need Brother¡¯s help.¡± Xu Lu suddenly smiled and sized up the demon prince with seductive eyes. The demon prince instantly understood and a fanatical look of excitement appeared on his face. In the following days, decadent sounds lingered in the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect, making countless devil dao disciples envious. ¡­ At this moment, Cheng Xu was caught in a crazy internal struggle. This was because he had just seen a worrying scene in the evil eye of ten thousand arts. A few devil cultivators at the peak of the Qi refining stage were escorting two righteous cultivators up the mountain. One of them was Miao Changsheng, his junior brother, and the other was Miao Changfeng¡¯s teammate from the divine hall. ¡°Damn it!¡± Cheng Xu clutched his head in pain. He definitely had to save him. After all, he was his own junior brother. Without Miao Changsheng, he would not have been able to join the medicine celestial valley. However, given his current position, Miao Changsheng would probably be on the mountain by the time he arrived. By then, he would have to face all the fiendish cultivators on Mount Jade Dragon. It was unrealistic. The only feasible n at the moment was to find a way to sneak in and rescue Miao Changsheng. But even so, it was still very dangerous. After all, he was only at the peak of the qi refining stage. The Yuqing sect, which was upied by the Blood Demon Church, was no different from a dragon¡¯s pool or a tiger¡¯s den for him. ¡°F*ck!¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s expression flickered and he exploded in anger. After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Xu resolutely took out the supreme-grade foundation-building pill that his master, Chi Yao zhenren, had given him. ¡°Little Miao¡­ Oh, Little Miao, Senior Brother has gone all out to save you. If you can return alive, you have to be filial to senior brother!¡± After saying that, he swallowed the foundation-building pill. Although he was still quite a distance away from foundation establishment, it wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t try. It was just that his chances of sess would be higher if he condensed and purified his zhenqi. However, Cheng Xu had no other choice. If he could temporarily break through to the foundation establishment stage, the sess rate of the rescue would be at least 70%. If he failed, he could only leave it to fate. ¡°Shizun, shizun, your little disciple is still waiting for this disciple to rescue her, so I¡¯ll have to trouble you to give this supreme-grade foundation-building pill of yours a little bit of strength!¡± As he spoke, the terrifying medicinal power of the supreme-grade foundation-building pill had already spread through his body. The surging medicinal power continued to gather in his meridians and flowed into his qi sea like rivers flowing into the sea. ¡­ In the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect. Xu Lu, who had just sent her brother away, was in a good mood and her face was flushed. At this time, a group of subordinates escorted two righteous cultivators in, as if they were asking for credit. ¡°Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, look at what we have caught for you! Two fresh virgin chickens!¡± At first, Xu Lu was not interested. After all, she had just been satisfied. However, when she recognized the robe of the Medicine Celestial Valley on Miao Changsheng, she immediately became interested. ¡°Yo. What a unique little bald head.¡± Xu Lu walked forward with a seductive look and lifted Miao Changsheng¡¯s chin with her finger. Miao Changfeng¡¯s face was pale and weak, but he still put on a stubborn look that was not afraid of death. ¡°Are you a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley?¡± Xu Lu asked with great interest. ¡°That¡¯s right. I was born a member of the Medicine Celestial Valley, and I will die a ghost of the Medicine Celestial Valley. Don¡¯t even think about bribing me, you demons!¡± Miao Changsheng straightened his back under the suppression of the devil cultivators. Xu Lu covered her mouth and giggled. Her eyes flickered as she said, ¡°Then do you know a handsome boy called Cheng Xu?¡± ¡°How did you know my senior brother, you demoness?¡± Miao Changsheng was shocked. ¡°Did you capture Senior Brother as well? ¡± Xu Lu smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. She continued to ask, ¡°You¡¯re very close to Cheng Xu?¡± ¡°When¡­ No, Senior Brother shouldn¡¯t be in trouble yet. I understand now, you demoness. You want to use me to threaten Senior Brother!¡± Miao Changsheng was smart for once. ¡°Stop dreaming. I¡¯d rather die than let my senior brother be threatened because of me.¡± Chapter 28 System Upgrade ¡°Oh, really?¡± Xu Lu¡¯s fingertips gently brushed across Miao Changsheng¡¯s face, her brows and eyes alluring. Miao Changsheng was so enticed that he swallowed his saliva. It was a good thing that he was only interested in refining medicine and was not very interested in women. If it were someone else, they might not be able to resist it. ¡°Let me put it this way. Cheng Xu is now one of my men.¡±?Xu Lu teased. ¡°What?¡± Miao Changsheng was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Senior brother is not that kind of person. Don¡¯t try to fool me with such tricks.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s not my man yet, but there¡¯s no man in this world that I can¡¯t sleep with,¡± Xu Luughed. ¡°What a shameless demoness! It would be strange if my senior brother fell for you!¡± The moment he said that, the fiendish cultivator beside him kicked him. ¡°Are you looking for death? How can you speak to the Holy Maiden like that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Xu Lu smiled indifferently.?¡°lock these two people up. I have a great use for them. You guys can go and receive your rewards.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. A few demonic cultivators immediately escorted Miao Changsheng and the other man out happily. Heavenly Dragon Mountain, on the temporary Watchtower halfway up the mountain. Cheng Xu¡¯s qi sea was constantly churning under the effect of the Foundation Building Pill, and his true qi was gradually condensed into a more powerful True Essence. However, a forced Foundation Establishment was still a forced Foundation Establishment. There was still more than half of the genuine Qi in his Qi sea that had not been condensed and refined. After the first half of the pure genuine Qi was transformed into genuine vitality, the second half of the ordinary genuine Qi was obviously much slower. Cheng Xu could clearly feel a sense of powerlessness and ack of energy. ¡°You must seed!¡± The surging power in his body made Cheng Xu feel ufortable all over. Beads of sweat kept oozing out of his pores, and his skin was hot and red, like a sauna. As time passed, the medicinal power of the Supreme-grade Foundation Building Pill gradually weakened, and it was nearing its end. There was still a lot of true Qi left in Cheng Xu¡¯s body. If he couldn¡¯t convert all of it into True Essence before the effects of the medicine ended, it would mean that he had failed to build his Foundation. This was because only when the Qi sea was upied by true essence and without a trace of impurities could the Qi sea undergo a qualitative change of Foundation Establishment. Seeing that the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, Cheng Xu¡¯s heart was in his throat. When there was only thest wisp of true Qi left in the Qi sea that had not yet been condensed, the medicinal effect of the Foundation Building Pill also dissipated. Just as Cheng Xu thought that he was about to fail in his Foundation Establishment, the Foundation Establishment Pill¡¯s medicinal effects that had already dissipated suddenly returned to life, and thest trace of medicinal power bloomed in his body. Cheng Xu was overjoyed. He hurriedly condensed thest wisp of true Qi into True Essence with the help of the medicinal power of this final radiance. At this point, Vital Essence, which was several times denser than Vital Energy, filled Cheng Xu¡¯s Qi sea. What he had to do next was topress the chaotic and disorderly True Essence in his Qi sea into a Qi sea vortex and make it a part of the Qi sea. The process ofpressing True Essence was much easier than he had imagined. Cheng Xu knew that this was the effect of the three Supreme-grade Tendon and marrow cleansing pills he had taken earlier. ¡°BOOM!¡± With a loud boom, the chaotic true essence in his Qi sea began to copse toward the center and gradually spiraled into a True Essence vortex. The moment the True Essence vortex was formed, Cheng Xu¡¯s body also underwent a tremendous change. It was a qualitative change that went from inside out and prated deep into the bone marrow. To a certain extent, he had transcended his mortal body and reached a higher level of life. ¡°Good¡­ I¡¯ve sessfully built my Foundation.¡± Cheng Xu heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that his sess in the Foundation Building stage was almost stuck on the cut-off point. It was just right. If he had cultivated for less than two hours, he would have failed. Of course, in the end, it was because his master, Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was enough, and with the foundationid by the three muscle tendon and marrow changing pills, he was able to seed this time. However, just as Cheng Xu was about to consolidate his cultivation and go to rescue Miao Changsheng, a system pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of him. ¡°Ding!¡± [The cultivation of the motherboard has been improved. All the otherponents have met the requirements. Do you want to proceed with the system upgrade?] [Note: This system upgrade requires 300MB of hard disk space.] ¡°What?¡± Cheng Xu widened his eyes in shock. ¡°Can the system be upgraded?¡± However, on second thought, it didn¡¯t seem to be a problem. After all, Windows next door was almost on Win11, so it seemed reasonable for the cultivationputer to upgrade its system. Moreover, he only had 512MB of hard disk space in the beginning, and the various configurations were also very sloppy. It was true that he could not install a better system. Now that he had nearly a 1GB hard drive, he naturally had no reason to hesitate. He directly confirmed the upgrade. In the next second, Cheng Xu¡¯s mind went nk. When he woke up, his cultivation in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm had been consolidated, and the system of the cultivationputer had also been optimized, making it smoother to use. ¡°You spent 300 megabytes of memory to upgrade this?¡± To be honest, Cheng Xu was a little disappointed. However, he didn¡¯t have the time to worry about this. It was alreadyte at night, and his Junior Brother Miao Changsheng¡¯s life was still in danger. He had to go and rescue him as soon as possible. He came down from the top of the Watchtower and took out the small sword he had borrowed from Wang Xiaolun. This small sword was only three inches long, and it definitely couldn¡¯t be used as a sword, but it was quite suitable to be used as a flying sword. Moreover, Wang Xiaolun¡¯s small sword¡¯s material and forging level were very good, and it was quite easy to control. Using the darkness of the night, he used the Earth Escape technique to grope his way up the mountain and sneaked into the mountain Gate of the Jade Pure Sect from the dark. There were scattered devil cultivators patrolling all over the mountain Gate, but it was not a problem for Cheng Xu. The key was that he did not know where Miao Changsheng was being locked up. Just as Cheng Xu was about to use a stupid method to search them one by one, a familiar figure walked out of the hall in the distance. It was the familiar Demon Prince. ¡°hahaha, little fairies, big brother is here!¡± At this moment, the Demon Prince had just recovered from the losses of the chaotic storm and was ready to take advantage of the night to recover the lost profound Qi in his body. Therefore, he found a random person and brought him to the cell where the cultivators of the righteous path were locked up. ¡°I¡¯m not bragging, but the quality of those righteous path fairies is really good. They¡¯ll definitely satisfy the Demon Prince.¡± The subordinate who led the way had a ttering expression. ¡°Is that so?¡± The Demon Prince became more and more excited. ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry. My little ancestor is already unable to endure the thirst.¡± ¡°Okay, please follow me.¡± Cheng Xu saw everything and immediately followed behind secretly. From the conversation between the two of them, it could be heard that the bloody demon church had not only captured Miao Changsheng and hispanion, but also a few female cultivators of the Orthodox Sects. Of course, Cheng Xu was not interested in the disciples of the other sects. His main goal was to rescue Miao Changsheng. If the conditions allowed, he would consider saving the others. On the way, he fumbled behind a patrolling devil cultivator and looked into his eyes that were as deep as ck holes. The devil cultivator instantly fell into a daze. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Then, he used his Vital Essence to control the small sword and pierced it through the fiendish cultivator¡¯s head, easily finishing him off. ¡°Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment stage?¡± As Cheng Xu sighed inwardly, he quickly changed into the demon cultivator¡¯s clothes, then put on an act and continued to follow the Demon Prince and hispanion. Not long after, the Demon Prince was brought into the cell by his subordinates. The two fiendish cultivators who were guarding the cell closed the door and continued to stand guard. Cheng Xu disguised himself as a fiendish cultivator and hurriedly walked towards the prison door. As expected, he was stopped by two guards. ¡°This is an important ce in the prison. No entry is allowed.¡± ¡°Uh, I came here with the Demon Prince.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Demon Prince just enter?¡± the guard asked in doubt. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this. The Demon Prince left in a hurry and forgot to bring something very important.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Cough, cough, a type of medicinal pill used to liven things up.¡± Cheng Xu said, pretending to be mysterious. When the two heard this, they instantly understood. ¡°Tsk, tsk, the Demon Prince knows how to y. Okay, go in. After you¡¯re done,e out quickly!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Just like that, Cheng Xu sessfully entered the cell. As for why he didn¡¯t kill the two guards directly, it was mainly to prevent the patrolling demonic cultivators from detecting him. The two people guarding the prison door had disappeared. How could the patrolling demonic cultivators note to see the situation? The prison cell was quiterge, and a faint fishy smell filled the air. It looked like the ce where the Jade Pure Sect used to rear Spirit beasts, but it had now been transformed into a prison cell by the blood demon. There were also a few devil cultivators patrolling in the corridor of the cell. They were scattered, which made it convenient for Cheng Xu to take attendance one by one. He sneaked behind one of the fiendish cultivators and patted his shoulder. The moment the demonic cultivator turned around, he was stunned by the attack of the Evil Eyes of Ten thousands Arts. Then, he was easily killed by the small sword. After repeating this a few times, the devil cultivators on patrol in the cell were all cleaned up by Cheng Xu. In the depths of the prison, a woman¡¯s desperate scream and the Demon Prince¡¯s pervertedughter could be heard. ¡°Fairies, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here to enlighten you!¡± The Demon Princeughed maniacally. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to suffer physical pain, listen to big brother obediently. Crawl over and kiss this Demon Prince¡¯s feet. Show your submission.¡± ¡°You¡¯re dreaming!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to? Then don¡¯t me big brother for not being polite. The night is long, big brother has many tricks to y with you!¡± ¡°Bastard,e at us if you have the guts. What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!¡± ¡°Go, go, go. Block those two men¡¯s mouths. What a killjoy.¡± Cheng Xu followed the sound and used his evil eyes to see the situation from afar. He was so perverted. ¡°Damn, it can¡¯t be such a coincidence, right?¡± Cheng Xu stood rooted to the ground in a daze. The four female cultivators were none other than the beautiful girls team that Hu Jiaojiao had formed. At this moment, Hu Jiaojiao hadpletely lost her usual coquettishness. Her face was pale and she was curled up in the corner of the cell with her three teammates. Cheng Xu took it all in and was delighted. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the other three beautiful girls had no enmity with him, he really wanted to wait a little longer and let Hu Jiaojiao experience what it meant to be cruel. ¡®Hey what a coincidence.¡¯ he thought Perhaps it was because of Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s vicious mouth, that the Demon Prince had chosen her first. The Demon Prince grabbed Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s hair and said, ¡°Be good and open your mouth. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind destroying your little face.¡± Hu Jiaojiao screamed and struggled in pain. Her eyes were empty and filled with despair. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± While Hu Jiaojiao was screaming in despair and the Demon Prince was getting carried away, Cheng Xu was resting in the dark. He was quietly recovering his true energy and waiting for the best opportunity. After all, that Demon Prince strength was extraordinary. It wouldn¡¯t be that easy to kill him in one strike. Chapter 29 Killing Their Way Out Of The Yuqin School Soon, when the Demon Prince reached his peak and felt like an immortal, Cheng Xu suddenly opened his eyes. ¡°Now!¡± The small flying sword shot towards the back of the Demon Prince¡¯s head with all its might. ¡°Bang!¡± However, it was automatically blocked by the annoying bronze bell. It was clearly a little strenuous this time. The entire bronze bell trembled violently as if it would break at any time. At the same time, the Demon Prince and his subordinates reacted instantly and looked in the direction of the flying sword in surprise. However, they were met with a pair of deep eyes that were like ck holes. ¡°It¡¯s you¡­?¡± The Demon Prince instantly recognized Cheng Xu, but in the end, he still couldn¡¯t escape the mental attack of the Evil Eyes of Ten Thousand Art. Back when he was in thete-stage of qi cultivation, the Evil Eyes of Ten Thousand Arts could make him fall into a daze. Now that Cheng Xu¡¯s cultivation level was at the early-stage of Foundation Establishment, and with the improvement of theputer, his mental power was no longer the same. Therefore, not only did the Demon Prince fall into a daze this time, but his spirit and sea of consciousness had also suffered considerable damage. As for the subordinate in the cell next to his, he was frothing at the mouth on the spot, his expression dumbfounded. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The small sword wrapped in Vital Essence was activated again, piercing through the head of The Fiend cultivator¡¯s subordinate and flying toward The Demon Prince temple. However, a Demon Prince was still a Demon Prince. The bronze bell once again automatically blocked the fatal blow of the small sword, and tiny cracks appeared on the Bell¡¯s body. Cheng Xu struck the iron. The two great incantations of poison and Qi were used in session. Under the effect of the chaotic flow of true energy and the corrosion of the poison, the dazed Demon Prince directly spat out ck blood and fell to the ground. The bronze bell could not block the effect of the Medicinal Law Incantation at all. After all, the Medicinal Mantra was directly used on the inside of the enemy¡¯s body. Without the Demon Prince¡¯s Vital Essence, the bronze bell was quickly exhausted by the small sword¡¯s attacks and fell to the ground. Without any hesitation, Cheng Xu controlled the small sword and shot the Demon Prince¡¯s head. After he was done, he went forward and put the bronze bell into his bag. He also searched the Demon Prince¡¯s storage bag. He had been very interested in the Demon Prince¡¯s bronze bell before, but he didn¡¯t expect to get it under such circumstances. Looking at the three beautiful girls in the cell who had survived the disaster, after a brief moment of shock, he was pleasantly surprised. ¡°You are¡­ That handsome young man from the Medicine Celestial Valley!¡± The three beautiful girls were so happy that they cried, ¡°thank you for saving us, fellow Daoist¡­¡± Only Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s eyes were empty, and her face was ashen. Shey on the ground with her clothes disheveled, looking as if she had lost all hope in life. When Hu Jiaojiao saw that it was Cheng Xu, a trace of shock appeared in her eyes. Then, it turned into aplicated look of hatred. She could feel that Cheng Xu had deliberately stood by and watched. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t even bother to look at her. He turned around and walked to the cell next door to remove the gag on Miao Changsheng and the other man¡¯s mouths. ¡°Senior brother!¡± Miao Changsheng was both surprised and happy. He hugged Cheng Xu¡¯s leg and started wailing. ¡°I thought I¡¯d never see you again.¡± The godly Luo Pce¡¯s teammate also cried tears of joy. ¡°Thank you for saving us, brother Cheng.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long. Everyone, take the time to recover and kill our way out with me.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and gave everyone a few pills. He also helped them remove the spell that sealed their meridians, leaving only Hu Jiaojiao. The beautiful girl from the scorching sun sect looked at Cheng Xu hesitantly. Seeing that Cheng Xu didn¡¯t react, she stepped forward to help Hu Jiaojiao remove the restriction. ¡°it¡¯s alright, sister Jiaojiao. It¡¯s all in the past¡­ And the thief who defiled you is already dead.¡± Hu Jiaojiao sat up in a daze. She tidied up her clothes and silently took out a few pills to consume. Then, she began to circte her energy to recover. As Miao Changsheng recovered, he looked at Cheng Xu in surprise. ¡°Speaking of which, isn¡¯t senior brother a little too fierce? Foundation Establishment just like that?¡± ¡°Hmph, isn¡¯t it all because of you? After I found out that you were captured, I had no choice but to force myself into the Foundation Establishment,¡± Cheng Xu said grumpily.?¡°Fortunately, the Master¡¯s Supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was powerful enough, and I was lucky enough to barely seed in building my Foundation.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a sess at least!¡±?Miao Changsheng scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Oh right, where¡¯s Miss Bai and the rest? Are they waiting for us outside?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head and sighed. ¡°I got separated from them due to some circumstances, but they should be safe now. What about you guys? how did you get caught?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. We only found a small stronghold of devil cultivators and thought that it wouldn¡¯t be a big problem. We didn¡¯t expect that there would be more than a dozen devil cultivators inside, and half of them were at the peak of the qi refining stage. Then, the two of us were caught.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly and turned to the three beautiful girls. ¡°What about you? Logically speaking, with your strength, it shouldn¡¯t be possible for all of you to be caught, right?¡± ¡°I might be unlucky to have met ate-stage Foundation Building Demon.¡± The beautiful girl of the scorching sun sect said with a wry smile. Cheng Xu nodded in realization. If he was not mistaken, it should be the devil cultivator called Ah Da. It could only be said that this group of girls were indeed unlucky. However, the main reason was that Hu Jiaojiao was an unlucky person. Under the effects of the medicinal pills, everyone very quickly recovered more than half of their strength. After that, under Cheng Xu¡¯s lead, the group walked towards the cell door. Only Hu Jiaojiao was left in the cell with a nk look in her eyes. The other three beautiful girls tried to persuade her, but she refused to leave. After the group had gone far away, she looked at the dark cell and felt alone. When she recalled the scene of her being humiliated by the Demon Prince, she gritted her teeth and stood up. She took out her sword and chopped the Demon Prince¡¯s corpse into pieces. She walked out of the cell with blood and tears on her face. The two guards at the cell door were easily taken care of by Cheng Xu before they could even shout. However, with so many of them moving together, they were still discovered by the patrolling devil cultivators in the end. A series of signal res rose into the sky. Fortunately, the strength of this group of people was not bad, and they killed their way to the vicinity of the main Pce. Then, they were blocked by the demoness Xu Lu and arge group of devil cultivators. Among them were two devil cultivators in the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm. They stood on both sides of Xu Lu with cold expressions. ¡°Interesting. I didn¡¯t expect you to take the initiative toe to me!¡± Xu Lu¡¯s alluringughter was mixed with a bit of mockery.?¡°Oh, you¡¯ve built your Foundation. No wonder you¡¯re so bold!¡± ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon.¡± While Cheng Xu grinned, he read Xu Lu¡¯s data. ¡°Handsome, you don¡¯t think you can run away this time, do you?¡± Xu Lu asked with a smile. ¡°We won¡¯t know, if we don¡¯t try.¡± Xu Lu looked at Cheng Xu with a gentle gaze. ¡°If you take the initiative to stay and apany me, I can consider letting your friends go.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m stupid? Cut the crap!¡± Cheng Xu snorted. ¡°One of us will die today!¡± As she spoke, Xu Lu¡¯s detailed information appeared in front of his eyes. Then, he was surprised to find that the system panel was different from before. On the list of martial arts and spells, there was an option [Run/end]. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but be ecstatic. He didn¡¯t need to think to know that it must be a change brought about by the system upgrade. No wonder it was so troublesome for the system to read other people¡¯s data. So it was to support all kinds of follow-up functions? ¡°As expected of the man I like, you have guts!¡± Xu Lu obviously didn¡¯t realize the seriousness of the matter. She chuckled and ordered her subordinates, ¡°Be careful, I want this little man alive.¡± ¡°Holy Maiden, don¡¯t worry. He¡¯s just a kid who has just built his Foundation.¡± The two mid-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivators beside her were full of confidence. On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, Miao Changsheng said in surprise, ¡°Senior brother, do you really know this demoness?¡± ¡°I captured her alive before. I wanted to take her back, but I was stopped by thatte-stage Foundation Building devil cultivator.¡± ¡®Later, I let Bai Ci¡¯er and the others leave first, and I found an opportunity to use the length contraction charm,¡± Cheng Xu said to himself. ¡°I see.¡± Miao Changsheng and the others nodded in understanding. On the other side, Hu Jiaojiao, who had been following them like a zombie, happened to see this scene. She silently followed the crowd. ¡°What do you think, little handsome? sacrificing you alone can save so many people. Isn¡¯t this what you righteous cultivators pursue?¡± Xu Lu seemed to be very interested in Cheng Xu. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, demoness! Even if we die in battle, we can¡¯t leave senior brother alone!¡± Miao Changsheng said, as if he was ready to die. ¡°Fine, it¡¯s the same if you capture him alive.¡± Xu Lu sighed regretfully and ordered the Bloody Demon church to take action. The chaotic battle began. The two disciples of the godly gaze Hall took out their respective formation disks and set upyers of formations to resist the attacks of the demonic cultivators. As for the two mid-stage Foundation establishment fiendish cultivators, their target was obviously Cheng Xu. Under the protection ofyers of formations, Cheng Xu used the mantra of Qi and the mantra of poison in session. The true Qi of the devil cultivators who were besieging them instantly surged wildly, and the poison entered their bodies. They were in a mess on the spot, but they were quickly suppressed by the attacks of Cheng Xu and the others. The people of the Bloody Demon Church, who had been so aggressive a second ago, turned purple in the next second. They were suffering from the poison and the disobedient genuine Qi in their bodies, including Xu Lu and the two demonic cultivators in the middle stage of the foundation building realm. ¡°What kind of spell is this? It¡¯s so powerful!¡± The two mid-stage Foundation Building fiendish cultivators were suppressing the poison in their true Qi with great difficulty. Their expressions were filled with shock. While Xu Lu was secretly shocked, she didn¡¯t look any better. Previously, she had thought that Cheng Xu¡¯s two spells were only single-target attacks. She didn¡¯t expect them to be AoE attacks. This made her even more curious about Cheng Xu. ¡°Little handsome boy, Oh little handsome boy, you really make thisdy more and more curious!¡± As she spoke, she took out the bronze bell. A shock wave struck down and easily broke through the two lightyers of the formation. At the same time, Miao Changsheng and the other two, as well as the beautiful young girls, were also shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s two medicinal mantra moves. This was especially true for Hu Jiaojiao, who was staring at the scene in disbelief. After all, as long as one wasn¡¯t blind, one could see how terrifying the effects of these two spiritual techniques were! Was this still the Medicine Celestial Valley disciple that they knew wasn¡¯t good at fighting? ¡°Brother Miao, your senior brother¡¯s spell is so powerful. I feel like it¡¯s even more powerful than the top-tier spell techniques of our Divine Hall!¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure,¡± Miao Changsheng said proudly, ¡°Senior brother is the hope of the Medicine Celestial Valley!¡± ¡°Bang! Bang!¡± A fewyers of the two godly Pce disciples formation were destroyed again, and only thestyer was left. While Xu Lu was breaking through the lightyer of the formation, Cheng Xu was trying to end the operation process of her blood devil technique and several other skills. He also read the data of the two mid-stage Foundation Building fiendish cultivators for backup. However, forcefully ending the progress of the opponent¡¯s cultivation technique seemed to require a certain amount of time. Moreover, it was a huge use of the system¡¯s performance, and his head was buzzing. Chapter 30 The Gxy Battleship ¡°It seems that this plug-in can¡¯t be abused as I wish. It won¡¯t be good if I crash after using it too much!¡± As the saying goes, ¡°to catch the bandits, first catch the leader¡±. Cheng Xu¡¯s first target was naturally the demoness Xu Lu. Bang! Bang! The bronze bell¡¯s shock wave came again, and thestyer of the formation¡¯s protection shattered. The two mid-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivators immediately surrounded Cheng Xu. However, they were met with a pair of eyes as deep as ck holes. The terrifying spiritual energy instantly made the two of them dizzy, and they were stunned on the spot. Cheng Xu raised his hand and shot a Canyang finger at one of them, then a small sword wrapped in true energy shot at the other, knocking both of them to the ground. He then used cloud steps to rush into the enemy¡¯s formation, his target Xu Lu. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s that Evil Eye Technique again!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Xu Lu cursed under her breath. She was about to use Boiling Blood when she saw Cheng Xu¡¯s attack, but she realized that the Blood Demon Technique had suddenly stopped. Boiling blood and Qi required the support of the Blood Demon Technique. In her shock, Xu Lu could only change to other moves to counter the attack and circte the Blood Demon Technique. She quickly formed a seal with her hands, and three blood balls condensed from Blood Qi surrounded her and shot at Cheng Xu in turn. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Cheng Xu used the water curtain of the ck Water Spell and his protective Dipper energy to block it, but he was still pushed back. The small sword wrapped in vital essence drew a beautiful arc from the side and stabbed at Xu Lu¡¯s back, but it was blocked by the bronze bell. ¡°What happened just now? Why did the blood Demon technique suddenly stop working?¡± Xu Lu was secretly flustered. Looking at Cheng Xu¡¯s sneer, she couldn¡¯t help but suspect him. ¡°You¡¯re the one behind this? How is this possible? How did you do it?¡± Cheng Xu smiled without saying a word. Streams of water wrapped around Xu Lu like chains. ¡°Brat, you¡¯ve sessfully angered us!¡± The two mid-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivators woke up and immediately surrounded Cheng Xu from both sides, trying to stop him. Unfortunately, Cheng Xu had already stopped their Blood Demon Technique, and they were both dumbfounded. Cheng Xu took the opportunity to use the ck Water Spell to create a circle of water impact around him, forcing the two of them back. Then, he stepped on the small sword and rose into the air, aiming directly at the demoness Xu Lu. At this time, Xu Lu had just used the bronze bell to shake off the restraint of the ck Water Spell. Seeing that Cheng Xu was close at hand, a familiar blood needle shot out from between her eyebrows. Unfortunately, Cheng Xu was no longer the same Cheng Xu he used to be. As he did a backflip, he narrowly dodged the blood needle attack and once again activated his Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Spells. The moment she saw the ck hole¡¯s eyes, Xu Lu was dazed. Cheng Xu wanted to capture Xu Lu in one fell swoop, but he was blocked by the annoying bronze bell. Before he could even begin to attack the bronze bell, he was intercepted by two flying swords that were speeding toward him. He was once again entangled with two mid-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivators. At the same time, Miao Changsheng¡¯s group had begun to show signs of decline under the siege of arge number of fiendish cultivators. ¡°Stop struggling, handsome boy. You won¡¯t be able to escape no matter what with just the few of you!¡± Xu Lu, who woke up from her daze, smiled coldly. The bronze bell grew rapidly above her head and mmed toward Cheng Xu with a monstrous blood aura. ¡°?!¡± Cheng Xu was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Lu to have such a hidden move, and he couldn¡¯t end the process of the magic weapon move. He was fighting with two fiendish cultivators and had no time to Dodge. Moreover, the bronze bell emitted a terrifying pressure that made his body extremely heavy and his movements slow. ¡°Senior brother-!¡± Miao Changsheng and the others were extremely anxious. At the critical moment, a sword radiance streaked across the sky like a shooting star and struck the huge bronze bell. ng! The bronze bell let out a muffled sound, and the monstrous Blood Qi dissipated. It immediately shrank back to its original size. Cheng Xu fixed his eyes on the flying sword that had saved him. It seemed a little familiar. After the flying sword broke the bronze bell¡¯s suppression, it turned around and flew away. Finally, it circled the feet of a familiar figure. It was Bai Ci¡¯er. ¡°I knew Junior Brother Cheng was still alive!¡± Bai Ci¡¯er flew over on her flying sword, looking a little tired. It was obvious that she had used up a lot of her strength in the attack just now. But this was not the main point. The main point was that Bai Ci¡¯er had also built her Foundation. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you!¡± Xu Lu looked at Bai Ci¡¯er coldly and sneered, ¡°Did youe back to save your little lover?¡± ¡°Demoness, don¡¯t talk nonsense. You¡¯ll die here!¡± Bai Ci¡¯er shouted. The next second, Xu Lu seemed to have noticed something and looked back in surprise. ¡°Saintess, retreat! These Orthodox cultivators are not simple-!¡± The red-haired man in thete stage of the Foundation Establishment realm named A ¡®da was burning his vital energy and blood as he flew toward the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect. He was covered in injuries and was in an unsightly state. ¡°A ¡®da, what¡¯s going on?¡± Xu Lu widened her eyes in shock. The red-haired man said anxiously, ¡°Holy maiden, retreat!¡± The next second, a whistling sword light shed through the night sky behind the red-haired man. Seeing this, the red-haired man desperately created a blood aura barrier to block the impact of the sword light. The sudden situation made the people of the Bloody Demon Church dumbfounded. Soon, several handsome figures on flying swords chased them from the night sky. ¡°Fellow Daoists, don¡¯t panic. We¡¯reing-!¡± Yan Changfeng led the Milky Way battleship and made a grand entrance. He casually shed down a blue sword light, which easily split the red-haired man¡¯s blood-red light shield. ¡°Pfft!¡± The red-haired man vomited blood on the spot. He mustered thest of his strength and motioned for Xu Lu to leave. Cheng Xu and the others were naturally overjoyed. ¡°Quickly look! It¡¯s Senior Brother Huyan and the others!¡± ¡°Great, we¡¯re saved!¡± Cheng Xu was also awed by Yan Changfeng¡¯s support. ¡°Is this the power of the number one prodigies of the four major sects?¡± The red-haired man was in the advanced stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, but he was beaten up so badly by Yan Changfeng and the others. It was no wonder that this was a Gctic warship. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother Miao, are you alright?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Tang Xuan asked anxiously as hended next to Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng. After seeing that the two of them were fine, he finally rxed. ¡°Eh? Junior Brother Cheng has built his Foundation?¡± ¡°I¡¯m lucky. I¡¯m lucky.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. Looking at the people of the Bloody Demon Church on the battlefield, they were protecting Xu Lu in the middle as if they were facing a great enemy. ¡°Wuwuwu¡­ Senior Brother Yan, quickly kill these people-!¡± The moment she saw Yan Changfeng, the grievances in Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s heart finally exploded, and she began to cry and scream. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, junior sister. None of these demons will be able to escape.¡± Yan Changfeng stood on his flying sword arrogantly, looking down at the people of the Blood Demon Church. While Cheng Xu was amazed by the power of the Milky Way warship, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Bai Ci¡¯er who was flying down. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go back? Why would he appear here? Where are the others?¡± ¡°When Big Sister Han and the others went back to get help, I was worried about you, so I found a safe ce to try to build my Foundation. Fortunately, Master gave me two Foundation Establishment pills before he left, so I managed to build my Foundation sessfully.¡± ¡°When I was looking for you, I ran into Senior Brother Yan and the others who had tracked you to Heavenly Dragon Mountain,¡± Bai Ci¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°Tsk, tsk, Fairy Bai is really interesting!¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel a little touched. However, he also knew that Bai Ci¡¯er was purely kind and attached great importance to friendship. She didn¡¯t like him or anything. Well, at most, she had a slightly favorable impression of him. At least, that was what he thought. Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s face blushed slightly, and her eyes were full of curiosity. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Senior Brother Cheng would also reach Foundation Establishment. Speaking of which, weren¡¯t you captured?¡± ¡°Uh, who said I was captured?¡± ¡°Then why are you here?¡± Cheng Xu exined, not knowing whether tough or cry. Bai Ci¡¯er kept eximing as she listened, her beautiful eyes shining. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Which young girl wouldn¡¯t like this kind of heroic act of entering a Tiger¡¯s den alone to save people? This was something that could be seen from the way the three beautiful girls behind him looked at him. Of course, Hu Jiaojiao was an exception. But then again, the demon wasn¡¯t ruthless enough. After he was done, he just casually killed Hu Jiaojiao.[a] [a]This part is confusing Chapter 31 The Blood Soul Bell At this moment, Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s face was filled with hatred. She looked at the people of the Blood Demon Church as if they were the enemies who had killed her father. On the side of the Blood Demon Church, the only red-haired man in thete stage of the Foundation Building Realm was already in a half-dead state. The rest of them were only in the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm. Obviously, they were no match for the Milky Way Battleship. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the younger generation of Mini Southern Heaven to be so powerful. It seems that my sect has underestimated you.¡± Xu Lu frowned at the Four Heaven¡¯s Favorites in the air. There was no panic evident on her face. ¡°It¡¯s alright~¡± Huyan Zan crossed his arms in front of his chest and arrogantly said, ¡°On the other hand, I¡¯m a little disappointed with you, Devil Cultivators. You arete Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but you can¡¯t even take a beating.¡± ¡°Why are you wasting so much time talking to her? Let¡¯s get rid of these small fries first,¡± Liu Qiao of the Divine Hall said impatiently. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that demoness has a high status in the Blood Demon Church. Try to capture her alive.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Yan. He¡¯s only at the Early Foundation Stage. It¡¯s a piece of cake.¡± Huyan Zan said with a confident smile. Then, Yan Changfeng¡¯s sword Qi surged out and surrounded them. Seeing this, Cheng Xu and the others immediately joined in the siege. The people of the Bloody Demon Church surrounded Xu Lu and resisted with all their might. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Outside the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect, the battle was very chaotic. The red-haired man took a few pills listlessly and reminded the girl with difficulty, ¡°Miss, find an opportunity to run away using an escape techniqueter. You have a noble status, so you must not fall into the hands of these orthodox cultivators.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The show has just begun!¡± Xu Lu smiled meaningfully and didn¡¯t panic at all. The red-haired man was a little confused. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°Father contacted me earlier. If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Father should be here by now.¡± Xu Lu calmly looked around at the chaotic battle, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile. The red-haired man was overjoyed when he learned that the Hierarch was about to arrive. He could finally rx. In the chaotic battle, the followers of the Blood Demon Church started to take the Blood Demon Elixir crazily,pletely ignoring the side effects of it. The thick blood Qi intertwined and formed a blood Qi wall, guarding Xu Lu. In the face of the Blood Demon Church¡¯s followers who were fighting to death, the orthodox forces really couldn¡¯t break in for a while. ¡°Brother Yan, why are these people from the devil path so excited? They don¡¯t even care about their lives!¡± During the frenzied battle, the Divine Hall¡¯s Liu Qiao couldn¡¯t help but exim. ¡°It¡¯s just futile resistance!¡± Huyan Zan said with disdain. ¡°The more it is like this, the more it shows the importance of that demoness!¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s pupils shrank. ¡°Watch me!¡± Yan Changfeng suddenly rose into the air and raised his sword high. The night sky was instantly filled with thunderclouds. Then, bolts of lightning fell from the thunderclouds and struck all parts of the enemy formation, including Xu Lu, who was in the middle. However, the lightning obviously could not hurt Xu Lu. The bronze bell alone easily blocked the attack of the lightning without the red-haired man¡¯s help. Inparison, the Blood Demon Church¡¯s followers who formed the blood Qi city wall were in a worse state. As the bolts of lightning struck down, screams of pain rose and fell. Upon seeing this, Huyan Zan and the others also began to disy their ownrge-scale techniques. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! For a moment, the entire Blood Demon Church¡¯s formation was drowned by spells. However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that under the effect of the Blood Demon Elixir, the fallen demonic cultivators actually stood up again. Their bodies were burning with blood-colored mes, and their faces were ferocious, like zombies. ¡°What the hell?¡± Liu Qiao was shocked. ¡°Why are they alling back to life?¡± ¡°It¡¯s that demoness¡¯s bell!¡± Xue Lingyu seemed to have noticed something. Everyone looked over and saw that the bronze bell was floating above their heads under Xu Lu¡¯s control. As it gently shook, it let out a crisp bell sound and released circles of strange light waves. Under the effect of this light wave, the fallen followers of the Blood Demon Church stood up one after another. Their bodies were burning with strange blood-colored mes, turning them into walking puppets. The fiendish cultivators who had turned into puppets were even more terrifying than when they were alive. They were not afraid of pain or death at all. Even if their heads were cut off, they could still fight. Unknowingly, the attacks of the orthodox cultivators had been blocked. On the other side, Cheng Xu was also stunned by Xu Lu¡¯s actions. At the same time, he was secretly happy. After all, he had just obtained the same bronze bell from the demon prince who was walking his bird. Out of curiosity, he took out the bronze bell and shook it, but it was of no use. ¡°It seems that this thing can only be controlled with a special technique.¡± Just as he was about to put the bronze bell back into his storage bag, the bronze bell in his hand suddenly trembled violently. It quickly broke free from Cheng Xu¡¯s hand and flew toward Xu Lu¡¯s bronze bell. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Seeing the bronze bell fly away, Cheng Xu subconsciously wanted to chase after it, but he was blocked by the line of defense of the Blood Demon Church. He could only watch as the bronze bell fell into Xu Lu¡¯s hands. ¡°Interesting. You¡¯re an orthodox cultivator, yet you want to use my sect¡¯s Blood Soul Bell.¡± Xu Lu looked at Cheng Xu with a faint smile. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that brother¡¯s Blood Soul Bell is only a low-level imitation.¡± As she spoke, she fused the demon prince¡¯s Blood Soul Bell into her own. Seeing this, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel angry. It was not easy to get the treasure that he had been drooling over for a long time, but before he could even warm it up, it was snatched away by the demoness. ¡°Damn it, give me back my bell-!¡± The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the angrier he became. With a light breath, an ancient seal character of ¡°Qi¡± that was more than two meters in size appeared above his head. In the next second, the blood puppets that were like walking corpses in front of him seemed to have disconnected. The blood-colored mes on their bodies extinguished one after another, and they fell to the ground in groups. ¡°Holy sh*t, which fellow Daoist did this?¡± Huyan Zan, Yan Changfeng, and the others looked around in pleasant surprise, and their eyes finally fell on Cheng Xu. It was not just the Milky Way Battleship, even Bai CI¡¯er, Tang Xuan, and the others were stunned. The demoness Xu Lu was even more dumbfounded. ¡°This ¡­¡± Cheng Xu was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. He had only wanted to use the medicinal mantra to weaken the army of demonic cultivators and then charge in to take back his bronze bell. He didn¡¯t expect the Qi word mantra to have such a magical effect. ¡°I was wondering who it was. It¡¯s Brother Cheng!¡± Liu Qiao of the Divine Hall was both surprised and delighted. ¡°Quick, quick, quick, let¡¯s do it a few more times!¡± Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, and Xue Lingyu were also astonished. Seeing the blood puppets fall one after another, the few of them quickly seized the opportunity and tried to break through the defense line in one go. Looking at Cheng Xu, he seemed to have understood something after a brief moment of shock. The effect of the Qi word mantra was to disrupt the ¡°Qi¡± in the enemy¡¯s body. Xu Lu¡¯s Blood Soul Bell should be able to control the blood puppet by controlling the blood Qi in the puppet¡¯s body. As long as he disrupted the blood Qi cirction in the puppet¡¯s body, he would naturally cut off the control of the Blood Soul Bell. ¡°As expected of the inheritance left behind by the ancestor. It¡¯s indeed powerful! Senior brother, hurry up and send a few more waves!¡± Miao Changsheng eximed from behind. ¡°Big Brother Yan and the others will be able to charge in soon!¡± Then, he looked at Xu Lu¡¯s side, and his expression instantly stiffened. Xu Lu had never expected that Cheng Xu¡¯s strange mantra spell would be able to block the Blood Soul Bell¡¯s control over the blood puppet. Seeing that Yan Changfeng and the others were closing in on her with an unstoppable force, Xu Lu quickly rang the Blood Soul Bell again to summon the fallen puppets. ¡°Detestable!¡± Xu Lu gritted her teeth in anger. Although she could still control the fallen puppet again, it would consume arge amount of her true essence and mental energy for nothing. ¡°Damn, how did hee back to life again?¡± Seeing this, Liu Qiao hurriedly called out to Cheng Xu, ¡°Brother Cheng, hurry, hurry, hurry, let¡¯s do another round!¡± Cheng Xu was also pushing in, so there was naturally no need for him to hesitate. ¡°Qi!¡± As soon as the Qi word was used, arge group of blood puppets copsed again. Seeing this, Xu Lu, who was in the line of defense, could only summon the puppets again. In this way, Xu Lu had consumed arge amount of vital essence. However, the demonic cultivators could recover their vital essence through the Blood Demon Elixir. In addition, there was a red-haired man next to her who was transferring vital essence to Xu Lu. The people of the orthodox path couldn¡¯t kill their way in for a while. On Cheng Xu¡¯s side, after using the medicinal mantra a few times in a row, he was also exhausted. ¡°We can¡¯t go on like this. It¡¯ll be great if we can get rid of the blood puppets at their roots.¡± Chapter 32 Falling Into The Evil ws Thinking of this, Cheng Xu pulled up Xu Lu¡¯s data again. ¡°That¡¯s strange. She doesn¡¯t have the Bloodsoul Bell¡¯s control technique among her skills,¡± Cheng Xu muttered. He couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled. ¡°Is it possible that the control method of magic treasures isn¡¯t considered a skill, or it¡¯s the cultivationputer that can¡¯t read this kind of data for the time being?¡± Although he couldn¡¯t read the secret technique to control the Bloodsoul Bell, he could think of a way to do so from the other skills. Hence, Cheng Xu¡¯s gaze fell on the skill called [Yin-Yang Harmony]. To be more precise, it fell on the [Run] option next to it. Just by looking at its name, Cheng Xu knew what it was. It wasn¡¯t an offensive skill so he had never paid attention to it. ¡°Hmm. By the way, what will the effect be if I ran this thing?¡± Cheng Xu pondered and immediately chose to run the Yin-Yang Harmony Spell. [Ding! Ding!] [Activating application¡­] After a few seconds of dy, the Yin-Yang Harmony Art sessfully operated without Xu Lu¡¯s knowledge. Suddenly, Xu Lu, who was controlling the Bloodsoul Bell, went into a daze. Her whole body heated up and turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her breathing was rapid, and her face was flushed. She seemed to be in a state of excitement. The seductive look in her eyes seemed to be dripping with water. Naturally, her control of the Bloodsoul Bell was affected, and the rhythm of awakening the puppet slowed down clearly. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Unable to understand, Xu Lu quickly suppressed her body¡¯s reaction to the Yin-Yang Harmony Art that was inexplicably running in her body. Cheng Xu, who was charging at the defensive line, saw everything andughed evilly in his heart. Previously, he thought of the [Operate] function as useless. Now, it seemed that in particr situations, when dealing with certain special skills, it could produce unexpected results. Xu Lu still had not realized that it was Cheng Xu¡¯s doing. After suppressing the Yin-Yang Harmony Spell, she began to control the Bloodsoul Bell with all her might. However, after just a few seconds, the Yin-Yang Harmony Art began to operate again. Her body, which had just calmed down, turned red and warm again. Cheng Xu took the opportunity to use the Qi Word Mantra, causing arge number of blood puppets to copse. The demonic cultivators¡¯ line of defense in front was about to be broken. ¡°Oh, Miss Xu, you¡¯re still thinking about men at this time?¡± Cheng Xu spoke with a mocking look in his eyes. Then he used the Poison Ivy Spell to easily bind three fiendish cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage. He controlled the small sword to fly over and pierce through like a wave of candied haws. When the confused Xu Lu heard this, her face instantly turned ugly. She spat, ¡°Is this your doing again?!¡± Cheng Xu smiled and did not say anything. He used the ck Water Spell to surge out a turbulent water current, throwing the fiendish cultivators currently facing him off their feet. During that time, Yan Changfeng and the others also broke through the defense line and attacked Xu Lu from different directions. ¡°Damn it-!¡± Seeing that the defense line had copsed, Xu Lu attempted to counterattack. The red-haired man tried his best to resist but to no avail. The blood Qi shield he had erected shattered easily from the me talisman paper thrown out by Xue Lingyu. Buzzzzzz! Yan Changfeng¡¯s sword pierced through the red-haired man¡¯s chest using the cover of the mes. ¡°Miss¡­ can still hold on for¡­ while with my body¡­¡± uttered the red-haired man with hisst breath, looking at Xu Lu. Then, he stopped breathing. Xu Lu had no time to grieve. She endured the red and warm state and hung the Bloodsoul Bell above the red-haired man¡¯s corpse. Suddenly, the red-haired man stood up again, burning with blood-colored mes. He pounced on Yan Changfeng and the others like a mad dog. Unfortunately, he was disconnected by Cheng Xu¡¯s Qi Word Mantra halfway through. ¡°Hahaha! Well done, brother Cheng!¡± Liu Qiao praised Cheng Xu. Then he sneered as he activated his formation te, sealing Xu Lu in a formation. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy, demoness. Surrender obediently. Otherwise, don¡¯t me us for being ruthless.¡± ¡°If you want to catch this Great Aunt, you¡¯ll have to do it in your next life!¡± Xu Lu snorted. She was red-faced and panting, but she didn¡¯t show any signs of wanting to fall back. In response, Yan Changfeng and the others started to attack. However, their attacks got blocked easily by the blood-red light emitted by the Bloodsoul Bell. ¡°What a powerful treasure. It can actually block the attacks of so many of us?¡± Yan Changfeng was secretly surprised. ¡°When this kind of situation arises, the Scorching Sun Sect should be the one to do it,¡± Huyan Zanughed as he took out a one-foot-long silver shuttle. He mustered his strength for a short while and then sent out an attack. BOOM! The Bloodsoul Bell let out an ear-piercing sound, and the blood light around it dissipated instantly. Xu Lu¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. When Cheng Xu saw the Bloodsoul Bell rolling on the ground, he immediately went forward to snatch it, while Yan Changfeng and the others tried to take Xu Lu down at once. However, he saw a strange sneer on Xu Lu¡¯s blushing face. The next moment, a terrifying blood-red light fell from the sky like a railgun. It formed a surging shield around Xu Lu and scattered a circle of terrifying blood Qi shock waves. Cheng Xu and the people on the Milky Way Battleship were shocked. Before they could react, they got hit by the terrible shock wave and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. ¡°What a good Four Righteous Sects!¡± In the night sky, the color of blood surged. A middle-aged man in a ck battle robe with scarlet eyebrows, eyes, and hair, slowly descended. His terrifying aura made everyone breathless. ¡°Golden Core Stage?!¡± Yan Changfeng and the others turned pale with fright and quickly reminded everyone to retreat. ¡°Quickly retreat!¡± Cheng Xu endured the pain in his body and immediately took out two length contraction charms. He threw one to Bai Ci¡¯er and reminded Tang Xuan and Miao Changsheng, ¡°Use the length contraction charms!¡± They, too, hurriedly activated their length contraction charm to escape. ¡°You want to run? Do you think you can run away?¡± snorted the ck-robed middle-aged man in midair. A monstrous blood aura exploded from his body, forming a blood-colored vortex that enveloped more than half of the Yuqing Sect. Cheng Xu and the others, who were escaping using the length contraction charm, as well as Yan Changfeng and the others, who had used other methods, were all blocked by the blood-colored cyclone. At this moment, even Yan Changfeng¡¯s group could not help but smile bitterly in despair. After all, that was a Golden Core demonic cultivator! ¡°You killed so many of my blood demon church¡¯s followers, and you still want to leave?¡± sneered the ck-robed middle-aged man. He snorted and looked at the crowd as if they were a group of ants. Then, he slowly floated to Xu Lu¡¯s side and said with concern, ¡°Little girl, did these little rascals from the Righteous Path hurt you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that so many disciples died in vain. Even Ah Da died in battle,¡± Xu Lu sighed. The middle-aged man in the ck robe looked at the red-haired man¡¯s body, then turned to Yan Changfeng and the others in surprise. Hemented, ¡°Interesting. It looks like the younger generation of the four Orthodox Sects is quite capable. ¡°You are the Hierarch of the Blood Demon Church?¡± inquired Yan Changfeng after taking a deep breath and looking back at him. ¡°A mere Mid-Foundation Stage brat is not worthy of knowing my name,¡± the middle-aged man in the ck robeughed in disdain. At this moment, Xu Lu seemed to have remembered something. She looked around and quickly locked her eyes on Cheng Xu. She hurriedly called, ¡°Father, there¡¯s something strange about that kid. Catch him quickly!¡± The ck-robed man¡¯s interest was piqued. He nced at Cheng Xu and asked, ¡°That disciple from the Medicine Celestial Valley?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Xu Lu nodded. Although the ck-robed man didn¡¯t understand what was so special about Cheng Xu, he still raised his hand and reached out to him. In the next moment, Cheng Xu became enveloped by a terrifying suction force, causing his body to fly uncontrobly toward the ck-robed man. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng-!¡± Seeing this, Tang Xuan hurriedly shot his flying sword at the ck-robed man in an attempt to stop him. The others followed suit. Unfortunately, before their flying swords could reach them, they were knocked to the ground by an invisible force. While Cheng Xu was struggling, he kept trying to read the ck-robed man¡¯s data. It turned out that he was overreaching. The ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s data volume was toorge, far exceeding his 1536 MB of data. He could not read it at all. However, he did not give up. He opened his Evil Eyes Of Ten Thousand Laws and red at the ck-robed man. ¡°Eh?¡± muttered the ck-robed man in a slight daze, seeing Cheng Xu¡¯s ck-hole-like eyes. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a trace of surprise and curiosity. At the same time, Cheng Xu¡¯s brain instantly entered a state of high stress. His eye pressure soared, his vision began to freeze crazily, and the number of frames dropped directly to the single digits. With his current level of mental power, the Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Arts could not do anything to Golden Core cultivators. Cheng Xu had no choice but to shut off his Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Laws. The ck-robed middle-aged man grabbed his cor and lifted him up. He dered, ¡°That eye technique just now was quite interesting. Let me take a good look.¡± As he spoke, he released a powerful spiritual will, trying to invade Cheng Xu¡¯s spiritual sea by force. Fortunately, Cheng Xu¡¯s system firewall was strong enough to block the ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s forced ess from outside. ¡°Interesting. You can actually resist this Lord¡¯s divine sense. Do you cultivate some special cultivation technique?¡± muttered the ck-robed middle-aged man, having be even more curious. Cheng Xu remained silent in response. ¡°You¡¯re not going to tell me? Hehe!¡± the ck-robed middle-aged man sneered. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll kill a few little guys for you to see!¡± Blood Qi surged around the ck-robed middle-aged man, and dozens of evil ghosts condensed from blood Qi spread out, targeting the Orthodox cultivators. Everyone from the Righteous Path became on guard against such a great enemy. At this moment, Cheng Xu truly realized that they were a bunch of inhumane demons. Just when everyone had resigned themselves to their fate, a sword light pierced through the blood-red vortex andnded in front of Yan Changfeng and the others. Weng~! As the sword Qi surged, the blood-colored cyclone melted like ice and snow, and dozens of blood ghosts shattered. ¡°Flying Cloud sword?¡± Yan Changfeng immediately recognized the sword in front of him. He looked in the direction of the flying sword and cried out in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s master!¡± The people who were in despair a second ago were instantly ecstatic. The ck-robed middle-aged man and Xu Lu¡¯s expressions changed slightly, and their pupils shrank as they looked at the horizon. With Daoist Cloudstep at the forefront, the Sect Masters of the various sects showed up one after another. Chi Yao Daoist had also arrived, shouting, ¡°Demon, release my disciple now!¡± Seeing Cheng Xu in the clutches of the ck-robed middle-aged man, Chi Yao Zhenren and Dan Yang Zhenren were both furious. ¡°Interesting,¡± said the ck-robed middle-aged man. He looked around at the various Sect Masters with interest. ¡°I advise fellow Daoist to release that person!¡± Perfected Being Tayun stood in the air with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly solemn. ¡°You guys don¡¯t think that just a few Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators like you can defeat me, do you?¡± mocked the ck-robed middle-aged man fearlessly. The various Sect Leaders were silent. They could also feel that this person¡¯s strength was far more powerful than expected. ¡°The peak of the Golden Core Stage¡­ I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s going to turn into a Golden Core soon!¡± The Sect Master of the Scorching Sun Sect frowned. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Demonic Path to have developed to such an extent. We didn¡¯t even notice it before.¡± Then, he turned around and motioned for the younger generation to go down the mountain. Yan Changfeng and the others knew they couldn¡¯t help in a battle of this level, so they retreated down the mountain. However, Bai Ci¡¯er was still worried about Cheng Xu. She pleaded, ¡°What about Junior Brother Cheng?¡± ¡°We will do our best to rescue him,¡± Tayun Zhenren said with a frown. At this moment, the three beautiful girls who had been saved by Cheng Xu earlier also stood up. ¡°Sect Master, please save Cheng Xu. If it wasn¡¯t for Cheng Xu, we would have already died at the hands of the demonic people of the Demonic Path.¡± ¡°Did you hear that? My little Cheng saved your disciple. Now that he has fallen into the enemy¡¯s hands, how can you just sit back and do nothing?¡± Reverend Dan Yang chastised. ¡°We¡¯ll do our best to help, but as you can see, this demon is already a monster about to turn into a core. Even if we join forces, we might not be able to keep him here.¡± The sect leaders of the four sects sighed and shook their heads. ¡°I don¡¯t care. If anything happens to little Cheng, you four sects will never get a single pill from my Medicine Celestial Valley!¡± Reverend Dan Yang grimaced in pain. Reverend Chi Yao, who was beside him, was even more anxious. The ck-robed middle-aged man looked at Cheng Xu and said teasingly, ¡°It seems you are quite valued in the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± Chapter 33 Fellow Daoist! You¡¯re So Confused On Daoist Cloudrise¡¯s side, after some hesitation, he decided to go forward and negotiate. ¡°Fellow Daoist is in the critical stage of Core Formation, so I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to fight with us. Why don¡¯t we both take a step back and let Cheng Xu go? We¡¯ll let you leave safely. How about it?¡± ¡°You speak as if you can stop this lord? If you want me to let this kid go, you¡¯ll have to pay the price.¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man said sarcastically. ¡°What do you want? Just tell me.¡± Reverend Dan Yang asked hurriedly. The ck-robed middle-aged man changed the topic and said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s said that about 10,000 years ago, a great war broke out in Southern Heaven. I want to know what happened in Southern Heaven back then.¡± When the orthodox Dao cultivators heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. ¡°What war from 10,000 years ago? What are you talking about?¡± ¡°How could we possibly know about something that happened 10,000 years ago?¡± Seeing the reactions of the various sect leaders, the ck-robed middle-aged man couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed. ¡°It seems that even you, local cultivators, don¡¯t know much about what happened back then.¡± ¡°From your words, it seems that your devil Dao¡¯s invasion this time has some other purpose?¡± Daoist Cloudrise frowned as he sized up the ck-robed middle-aged man. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then there¡¯s no need to continue this conversation!¡± The ck-robed middle-aged manughed wildly. A strong blood qi surged around his body, as if he was going to start a fight with everyone. Just as the battle was about to start, Chi Yao Zhenren stood up hesitantly. ¡°Wait a moment. Since fellow Daoist is in the critical stage of Core Formation, can you recognize this medicine?¡± He raised his chubby little hand, and a golden pill with electric patterns jumping on its surface appeared in his hand. The moment the pill appeared, it instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. In particr, the unique energy fluctuations emitted by the pill shocked everyone. The ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s eyes were fixed on the pill in Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s hand. His eyes gradually turned from shock to excitement, and his breathing gradually became rapid. ¡°This is¡­ cracking pill?¡± The leaders of the various sects naturally also recognized this legendary medicinal pill, and each and every one of them was dumbfounded. ¡°Cracking pill! Fellow Daoist Chi Yao has refined a cracking pill!¡± ¡°Daoist Chi Yao, you actually managed to create a cracking pill without making a sound?¡± Facing the crowd¡¯s bewilderment, Reverend Dan Yang was also dumbfounded. He looked at Reverend Chi Yao in astonishment. ¡°When did Junior Brother sessfully refine the cracking pill? I don¡¯t even know about it.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was silent, his eyes fixed on Cheng Xu held by the ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s hands. ¡°Hahaha¡­ I¡¯ve long heard that the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s alchemy skills are the best in the entire Southern Heaven. Now that I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes, it¡¯s true to its name.¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man stared at the pill in Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Chi Yao Zhenren could actually refine this almost extinct cracking pill. You are indeed worthy of the title of the number one alchemist in little Southern Heaven!¡± Chi Yao Zhenren didn¡¯t pay attention to the other party¡¯s ttery and went straight to the point, ¡°I¡¯ll use this cracking pill to exchange for my disciple. How about it?¡± ¡°Really?¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man was ecstatic. He wanted to throw Cheng Xu over immediately. ¡°Hand over the pill and the person.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said decisively. The leaders of the orthodox Dao beside him were greatly shocked when they heard this. ¡°Daoist Chi Yao, aren¡¯t you helping the evildoer?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, knowing that this demon is about to turn into a core, how can we give him the cracking pill!¡± ¡°If we really let this devil break through to the Core Formation stage, how will our orthodox sects survive?¡± In the face of everyone¡¯s panic, Chi Yao Zhenren was unmoved. ¡°I only want my disciple to live.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty, Chi Yao Zhenren.¡± Tayun Zhenren said anxiously, ¡°We¡¯ll definitely think of a way to save Cheng Xu. Daoist Chi Yao, please don¡¯t be rash.¡± Seeing that the various sect leaders had started to persuade him, the ck-robed middle-aged man became anxious. ¡°Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense. As long as I want to leave, these people won¡¯t be able to stop me no matter what. In my opinion, they just can¡¯t bear to give up this cracking pill.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, devil!¡± The sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect exined hurriedly. The two sides were in a heated argument over a single pill. Cheng Xu, on the other hand, was in a state of confusion. What the hell was a Core Formation stage? Wasn¡¯t the Nascent Soul stage after the Aurous Core stage? Also, what was the cracking pill that his master had taken out? How could it make the big shots so excited? ¡°Father, do you really want to use this kid to exchange for that pill?¡± Xu Lu, who was standing at the side, was equally confused. ¡°That cracking pill is the only medicine that can assist in pill transformation. Do you want to exchange or not?¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man panted slightly and said meaningfully, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect this kid to be so valuable.¡± After knowing that it could assist in pill transformation, Xu Lu immediately understood the value of the cracking pill. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s indeed worth the exchange. However, are you sure that¡¯s the cracking pill?¡± ¡°That unique aura and energy fluctuation can¡¯t be fake.¡± Hearing this, Xu Lu didn¡¯t say anything more. Although she was very curious about the strangeness of Cheng Xu¡¯s body, her father¡¯s Core Formation was more important. As long as his father broke through to the Core Formation stage, wouldn¡¯t it be easy to capture Cheng Xu? The orthodox cultivators were still sparing no effort in persuading Chi Yao Zhenren, drooling as they looked at the cracking pill in his hand. Although they were only in thete-stage of the Aurous Core stage, there would be a day when they would need to use the cracking pill. ¡°Little Cheng, don¡¯t be afraid. Although I¡¯m not strong enough, I can still save you in my own way.¡± Chi Yao Chenren ignored everyone¡¯s persuasion and slowly walked forward with the cracking pill in his hand. When the various sect leaders saw this, they anxiously pped their thighs. Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re so silly~! Only Immortal Dan Yang was rtively calm. After all, in his opinion, Cheng Xu was indeed more valuable than a cracking pill. Although they had a chance of saving Cheng Xu if they worked together, it was better to be safe than sorry. At this moment, Chi Yao Zhenren had already walked in front of the ck-robed middle-aged man withrge strides. ¡°We agreed to hand over the pill and the goods.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. The ck-robed middle-aged man was quite straightforward. To show his sincerity, he directly pushed Cheng Xu to Chi Yao Zhenren. With his strength and the distance between him and Chi Yao Zhenren, he naturally didn¡¯t need to worry about Chi Yao zhenren going back on his words. The moment he grabbed Cheng Xu¡¯s hand, Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s trembling heart finally calmed down. After casually throwing the cracking pill to the other party, he quickly retreated with Cheng Xu. ¡°It really is the cracking pill!¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man who had sessfully obtained the cracking pillughed out loud. ¡°If I fail to break through to the Core formation stage in the future, I¡¯ll have to trouble Chi Yao Zhenren again.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren snorted, toozy to respond. The ck-robed middle-aged man did not ger angry. Heughed and grabbed Xu Lu, ready to leave. ¡°Hahaha, the Green Mountains will never change, and the green water will always flow. We¡¯ll meet again~!¡± ¡°You want to leave? It won¡¯t be that easy!¡± Since Cheng Xu had already been saved, Perfected Cloudrise and the others naturally had nothing to worry about. Seeing that the ck-robed middle-aged man was about to escape, they immediately began to encircle him. ¡°Even if we can¡¯t keep him here, we have to let him shed ayer of skin. We can¡¯t let him break through to the Core Formation stage easily!¡± The sect leaders knew very well that if they really let the devil return safely, it would be no different from releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Moreover, the devil had an additional cracking pill in his hands. ¡°Shenluo Formation, activate!¡± The hall master of the Divine Gaze Hall flew into the sky and took out a dark golden array disc that looked like a threeyer cake. The array disc was densely packed with needles that were connected to each other in an orderly manner, giving off an ancient and mysterious aura. As the array board turned, a huge golden array instantly enveloped the entire mountain. The formation was surrounded by three dragon-patterned halos. As they spun, they projected Golden Dragon shadows. With a series of dragon roars, they pounced toward the ck-robed man. On the other side, the Wondrous Spell Sect¡¯s master released arge number of yellow talismans. Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, they formed chains of talismans and surrounded the ck-robed middle-aged man. Chapter 34 What¡¯s the Nascent Soul? The sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect even summoned sixty-four flying swords in one go. They flew through the air like a school of sardines and formed a dazzling sword array around the middle-aged man in ck. As the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s representative, Reverend Dan Yang naturally joined in the battle. However,pared to the cool magical powers of the leaders of the various sects, he did not seem as conspicuous. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! In the great Shenluo Formation, the terrifying battle changed the color of heaven and earth. The Golden Dragon roared, and the talismans exploded. Sword shadows and sword lights crisscrossed. However, in the face of the big moves of the leaders of the various sects, the ck-robed middle-aged man did not show any signs of decline. Instead, he became more brave as the battle progressed. What was even more terrifying was that the ck-robed middle-aged man had a daughter who was a burden. ¡°Hahaha, you want to stop me with this little ability?¡± The ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s body was surrounded by a monstrous blood aura. A familiar bronze bell was spinning above his head, sending outyers of air waves, easily resisting the attacks of the leaders of the various sects. It was obvious that the ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s Blood Soul Bell was countless times more powerful than Xu Lu¡¯s. The leaders of the various sects felt that it was getting more and more difficult as they fought. They clearly did not expect this demon to have such terrifying strength. ¡°Today, this king is lucky to obtain a cracking pill and is in a good mood. I won¡¯t waste any more time with you!¡± The ck-robed middle-aged manughed out loud in the face of the tight encirclement. ¡°When I transform into my core, I will definitely pay you a visit!¡± After saying that, a blood-colored torrent that covered the sky whizzed out from behind him. The blood-red waves that were like roaring mountains and roaring seas instantly crushed the sword array of the sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect. It swallowed the chain of talismans and dozens of Golden Dragon shadows. Under the protection of his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, Cheng Xu was dumbfounded. ¡°Is this a Jindan level battle?¡± At the side, Chi Yao Zhenren watched with a grave expression. ¡°What a terrifying demon. With such a baleful aura and blood qi, I wonder how many living beings have been harmed.¡± At the same time, under the impact of the ck-robed middle-aged man¡¯s blood qi, the sect leaders had already begun to retreat. The blood qi quickly broke through the great Divine Net Formation. ¡°Damn it, what¡¯s the background of this devil!¡± The Divine Gaze Hall master¡¯s face was pale, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. The other sect leaders were not in a good state either. The weaker ones, Reverend Dan Yang, was even swallowed by the blood qi wave, his life or death was unknown. ¡°Senior brother?!¡± When Chi Yao Zhenren saw this, his eyes widened and his mid-stage Golden Core Aura instantly spread out. Then, under Cheng Xu¡¯s astonished gaze, he angrily spat out a familiar incantation. ¡°Hahaha, you think you can stop me?¡± As the middle-aged man in the ck robe circted his demonic technique, his entire body turned scarlet red. He looked like a demon that hade from hell. Seeing the leaders of the orthodox sects being repelled by the blood qi waves, heughed arrogantly and was about to leave with his daughter. ¡°Quickly stop him!¡± Daoist Cloudrise roared in anger. He turned into a sword light and pursued them, but he was easily blocked by a wave of blood qi. Just as the ck-robed man was about tough and leave, the entire world suddenly changed. A golden ¡°Qi¡± character that was evenrger than the entire mountain appeared above the peak, and the terrifying pressure it exuded made everyone¡¯s faces change. The middle-aged man in the ck robe looked at the big characters in the sky behind him in shock. Before he could figure out what was going on, the magic power and blood qi in his meridians began to wreak havoc, and the umted evil qi in his body instantly rushed out. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Immediately after, the middle-aged man¡¯s meridians exploded one after another like firecrackers, and clouds of blood mist burst out. The ck-robed middle-aged man, who had beenughing arrogantly seconds ago, suddenly fell into a state of qi deviation. His terrifying aura instantly plummeted. Reverend Dan Yang, who had broken free from the blood qi waves, looked down at Reverend Chi Yao in pleasant surprise. ¡°Haha, I knew that with Junior Brother¡¯s attainments in the Dao of medicine, you would definitely be able to understand the medicinal mantra!¡± Looking at the four sect leaders led by Daoist Cloudrise, they were dumbfounded and had an expression of disbelief. ¡°Chi¡­ Fellow Daoist Chi Yao?¡± The sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect widened his eyes in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. Daoist Cloudrise was even more bbergasted, not daring to believe his eyes. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Was this still the Aurous Core stage cultivator they knew who could fight against five weaklings? If he was a weakling, what were they? ¡°Quick, that demon has already gone berserk. Don¡¯t let him escape!¡± The Divine Gaze Hall master, who had calmed down, quickly reminded everyone to press on with their victory. The ck-robed middle-aged man was already in a panic. He looked at Chi Yao Zhenren in surprise and didn¡¯t think twice before activating blood escape. He burned his blood essence and turned into a scarlet space vortex, escaping with Xu Lu. Seeing the devil escape, the various sect leaders cried out in pity. ¡°Damn it, he still managed to escape!¡± The sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect couldn¡¯t help but swear. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Daoist Master Tayun heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°With the state that the demon was in just now, coupled with the fact that he was willing to burn his blood essence to use the blood escape technique, his cultivation must have fallen to thete-stage of the Golden Core Realm at the very least. If he couldn¡¯t control his qi deviation, he might even fall to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm!¡± Everyone expressed their agreement. Although the process was not quite what they had expected, the results had met their expectations. In fact, it was even better than they had expected. Nut then again, just now, fellow Daoist Crimson Radiance¡­ Very quickly, the leaders of the various sects floated down one after another, their strange expressions focused on Chi Yao Zhenren. Cheng Xu was still immersed in the shock brought about by the qi summoning mantra and was unable to extricate himself. Inparison, his own qi summoning mantra was simply too weak. From this, it could be seen how big the gap between him and his master Chi Yao Zhenren was in the Dao of medicine refinement. ¡°Fellow Daoist Crimson Red, what was that move you used just now?¡± Daoist Master Tayun and the others asked with lingering fear. ¡°It¡¯s just an inheritance left behind by my sect¡¯s ancestral master. I¡¯m fortunate enough to haveprehended the profoundness within.¡± Facing everyone¡¯s shocked and appreciative gazes, Chi Yao Zhenren was actually a bit unustomed to it. He had been a bystander for half his life, when had he ever been valued so much? ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your sect to have such a powerful inheritance.¡± The hall master of the Divine Gaze Hall sighed with emotion. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s just a mantra, but it can make the demon¡¯s magic power chaotic on the spot and cause him to go crazy. It¡¯s really powerful!¡± Chi Yao zhenren waved his hand and exined, ¡°My incantation isn¡¯t that powerful. It¡¯s mainly because that devil¡¯s body has umted too much baleful qi. My incantation just happened to trigger a bacsh from his baleful qi.¡± Daoist Cloudrise nodded slightly. ¡°Even so, Daoist Crimson Red is still very powerful. It seems that our little Southern Heaven¡¯s orthodox path will have another great general in the future.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. I only have two axes.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was very clear about his own strength. Although the power of the medicinal mantra was astonishing, just two moves of the medicinal mantra were not enough to make him a true expert. ¡°You¡¯re too humble, fellow Daoist.¡± The two sides bragged about each other back and forth, and Cheng Xu was getting a little impatient. It just so happened that the people present were all Jindan stage big shots of various sects, so he asked curiously, ¡°That¡¯s right, master, what did you mean by transforming into a pill?¡± Hearing this, all the big shots present were somewhat confused, including Chi Yao Zhenren. ¡°Core Formation refers to the process of breaking through to the next big realm after the peak of Jindan. Cultivators call it the Core Formation stage.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren exined. ¡°Core Formation stage?¡± Cheng Xu scratched his ears and cheeks. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. ¡°Isn¡¯t the Nascent Soul stage after the Golden Core stage? ¡± ¡°Yuanying stage?¡± Daoist Master Tayun and the others were stunned. ¡°What¡¯s a Nascent Soul?¡± From everyone¡¯s reaction, it could be seen that they had never heard of the concept of the Nascent Soul stage. ¡°How should I put this¡­¡± Cheng Xu organized his words. ¡°It¡¯s just that I learned from an ancient book that there are several major realms in the path of immortal cultivation. They are the Qi Cultivation stage, Foundation Establishment stage, Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, Soul Formation stage, Form Synthesis stage, and so on.¡± The big shots looked at each other in confusion. ¡°There¡¯s such a saying?¡± ¡°What do you mean by the Soul Formation stage and the Form Synthesis stage?¡± The sect leader of the Scorching Sun Sect looked at the crowd in confusion. ¡°Fellow Daoists, have you all heard of it?¡± Everyone shook their heads in confusion. This time, Cheng Xu waspletely dumbfounded. Good Lord, starting from the Nascent Soul stage, the realms after that started to be strange. Chapter 35 Reward Could it be that the cultivation novels in his previous life were wrong? But if that was the case, why were the first three realms the same as in the novel, but there were differences starting from the Yuanying stage? ¡°Nascent soul, Deification, and Fusion. It does sound like that.¡± The sect leader of the Wondrous Spell Sect thought to himself, ¡°can you let me take a look at that ancient book?¡± ¡°Uh, I saw it at a stall in the market before, but I didn¡¯t buy it.¡± Cheng Xu said awkwardly. The Wondrous Spell Sect leader was slightly disappointed, but he didn¡¯t take it to heart. ¡°Little guy, don¡¯t read so many random books in the future. Don¡¯t believe everything you see.¡± The leaders of the various sects chuckled and teased, ¡°the Core Formation stage is still very far from you. Don¡¯t aim too high.¡± Cheng Xuughed dryly and nodded. He thought of the spaceship wreckage he saw in the ancient deste demon territory and felt that something was wrong. After that, he followed the elders down the mountain and met up with the disciples of the various sects. Seeing that Cheng Xu was safe and sound, Tang Xuan, Bai CI¡¯er, Miao Changsheng, and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Themotion on the mountain just now had frightened them. Just like that, the training of the small teams came to an end. Following the leaders of the various sects back to the Yunzhong Sect, the other teams had notpleted their training. Although Cheng Xu¡¯s team had returned early, they had made significant contributions. They had killed many devil cultivators in thest battle. Not to mention that he had even drawn the Blood Demon Church¡¯s Hierarch out. In the end, with the support of the leaders of various sects, he had been severely injured in one fell swoop. Of course, the ones who contributed the most were the Milky Way Battleship led by Yan Changfeng and the team led by Cheng Xu and Bai CI¡¯er. The only ones worth mentioning were Cheng Xu¡¯s three teammates. After getting reinforcements, he had been waiting at the Yunzhong Sect. It could be said that he had gotten a good result for nothing. Therefore, when they saw Cheng Xu and Bai CI¡¯er return safely, the three of them were overjoyed. Originally, Cheng Xu wanted to collect his reward before returning to the Medicine Celestial Valley. However, his Master Chi Yao Zhenren was harassed by the leaders of various sects every day, so he had no choice but to return to the Medicine Celestial Valley with his two disciples in advance. As for the reward for the joint experiential learning, it would be enough for Reverend Dan Yang to help them bring it back. The moment he left Yunzhong sect, Chi Yao Zhenren let out a long sigh of relief, ¡°phew, finally, it¡¯s quiet.¡± On the big gourd, Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng exchanged a smile. In the battle of heavenly Dragon Mountain, Chi Yao Zhenren could be said to have made aeback, and the attitude of the various sects towards him could be said to have made a 180-degree turn. From the moment they returned to Yunzhong Sect, the doorsill of the guest room had almost been trampled to pieces. They had been looking for Chi Yao Zhenren to ask about the cracking pill. ¡°Tsk, tsk. From now on, let¡¯s see who still dares to say that you¡¯re a true runaway?¡± Miao raised his brows and exhaled. Chi Yao Zhenren waved his hand andughed. ¡°tsk, you can¡¯t say that. When it¡¯s time to run, we still have to run. For example, now.¡± Hearing this, the three of themughed. Two dayster, when he returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley, he felt a sense of familiarity that he had never felt before. Because the other disciples had not returned, the valley seemed a little deserted. After Miao Changsheng returned, he buried himself in his cultivation. The training this time had made him deeply aware of the importance of strength. Inside the cave, Chi Yao Zhenren looked at Cheng Xu in front of him with a rather smug expression. ¡°Little Cheng, do you know why Master¡¯s Medicinal Mantra is so powerful?¡± ¡°Is it because you¡¯re good at refining medicine?¡± Cheng Xu asked in a daze. ¡°Yes and no,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said profoundly, ¡°the power of the Medicinal Mantra is indeed rted to the level of the alchemy. However, ording to my understanding, it¡¯s not that simple. Take me as an example. The power of the Qi Mantra is far higher than the Poison Mantra. Do you know why?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s very simple, because your master has a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of [Qi], but has not delved too deeply into the medicinal properties of [poison].¡± Realization dawned on Cheng Xu. ¡°In other words, the deeper one¡¯s understanding of a certain type of medicinal property, the more powerful the corresponding type of medicinal mantra would be?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren nodded and smiled, ¡°the essence of this Medicinal Mantra is actually to use a special sound wave to send one¡¯s own magical power into the enemy¡¯s body, and use this part of magical power to simte the corresponding medicinal properties.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Cheng Xu was greatly shocked. Although he had directly mastered the Medicinal Mantra through the cultivationputer, in terms of understanding the Medicinal Mantra, he was not just a little bit inferior to his master, Chi Yao Zhenren. ¡°So next, you can first study the medicinal properties and Pharmacology of Qi drugs. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me. As for the Pharmacology of poison, I¡¯m not very good at it myself.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Hence, in the next few days, Cheng Xu simply stayed in the library cave, looking for the corresponding medicinal books to install. The facts proved that Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s theory was correct. With the improvement of Cheng Xu¡¯s understanding of true Qi cirction-type medicinal theory, the power of the Qi word mantra had also produced a qualitative leap. After using the Qi word incantation, the size of the ¡°Qi ¡± word above his head did not change much, but the texture and conciseness of the word had undergone earth-shaking changes. The only unfortunate thing was that there weren¡¯t many books about poison in the Medicine Celestial Valley. A few days passed by in a sh. Under the leadership of the sect leader, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples who had participated in the joint training returned to the sect with honor. Although the average strength of the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples was not good, they had only lost three disciples because of the luxurious gift package they had received before they left. Compared to the other four sects, which would easily suffer double-digit losses, it was already very outstanding. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu had also sessfully received the reward for the first-ss mission provided by the various sects:There was a Mid-grade Tendon and Marrow Cleansing Pill, a high-quality inner armor made by the Scorching Sun sect, a high-level sword technique called ¡°Cloud Sword technique,¡± apleted level two array disk, and a level three talisman that could hurt early golden core cultivators. Unfortunately, it could only be used three times. In the cave, Cheng Xu put on the inner armor happily and took out the ¡®Cloud Sword technique¡¯. ¡°Tsk, tsk. I didn¡¯t expect that after being expelled from the Yunzhong Sect, I would still be able to learn the Yunzhong Sect¡¯s sword technique inheritance.¡± While sighing with emotion, he read and installed the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique. It was only 28.5 MB in size, so it was not difficult to install it. After he was done, a familiar feeling of enlightenment came over him. The entire sword manual had been deeply imprinted in Cheng Xu¡¯s mind. Just as he was about to test the power of this Sword Art, he suddenly stood awkwardly on the spot. ¡°It seems like it¡¯s time to make a decent flying sword.¡± A dignified Foundation Stage cultivator actually didn¡¯t even have a flying sword, it was indeed quite outrageous. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the valley doesn¡¯t have any books on refining artifacts, otherwise I could have refined them myself.¡± Cheng Xu sighed and prepared to ask his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, where he could get a high-quality flying sword. As usual, Chi Yao Zhenren was engrossed in his alchemy research. When he saw Cheng Xu enter, he said with a flushed face, ¡°Little Cheng, you¡¯vee at the right time. Come and see how my poison is going.¡± ¡°Uh, you¡¯ve started researching poison?¡± Cheng Xu stepped forward in surprise. Chi Yao Zhenren was indeed a genius in alchemy. Just by looking at the ck powder, he could feel the strong toxicity. In any case, there¡¯s no room for improvement in the field of Pharmacology. I might as well go back and study poison. Chi Yao zhenren Vern race track. Chapter 36 Refining The Foundation-Building Elixir ¡°As expected of master!¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. Chi Yao Zhenren smiled and asked, ¡°Is there anything you need from me?¡±= ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯ve already built my Foundation, but I don¡¯t have a good weapon yet. I wanted to ask master where I can get a high-quality flying sword?¡± ¡°Of course, the Scorching Sun Sect is the most outstanding when ites to weapon refinement. I¡¯m nning to go there in half a month. You cane with me,¡± Chi Yao Zhenrenughed. ¡°Alright. Thanks, master,¡± Cheng Xu said as he nodded slightly. However, he couldn¡¯t be idle during the next half a month. He had to make some money by refining medicine so he wouldn¡¯t be short of funds. Speaking of which, it had been some time since hepleted the optimization of the Foundation Building Pill. He had been reading a huge amount of Qi-rted medicinal books these days, but it didn¡¯t improve his [Medicine Refining] application much. [Alchemy] [Pharmacology Level: Level 10] [Refining Ability: Advanced] His Pharmacology Level had only increased by one level, and his Refining Ability was still at the advanced level. He realized it was getting harder and harder to level up this thing. Of course, refining the Foundation Building Pill was not a problem. Although he no longer needed it, it was still worth selling for money. After leaving his master¡¯s cave abode, he went all the way to the Merit Hall, where the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s disciples received orders and earned contribution points. Cheng Xu made a rough round and checked the orders. There were quite a lot of orders for the Foundation Building Pill, and the rewards were also very generous. Low-grade pills were 400 merit points each, mid-grade pills were 500 merit points each, and high-grade pills were as much as 800 merit points each. There were a lot of orders, but the materials weren¡¯t easy to get. Then, under the adoring gazes of the junior sisters at the window, he strode away. He went to the Spirit Herb Hall, which specialized in growing spirit herbs, and found the person in charge, Martial Uncle Feng. At this time, Martial Uncle Feng was studying the medicinal mantra hard, almost in a state of obsession. And it was not only him, but the Sect Leader and other Martial Uncles were also studying the medicinal mantra as best as they could. He also heard that after Tang Xuan had returned from training, he also started toprehend the medicinal mantra. ¡°Oh, Little Cheng, you¡¯re here. What do you need?¡± Martial Uncle Feng greeted him. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t waste any time and directly handed over the list of required materials. Martial Uncle Feng looked at the list and said, ¡°The price of the medicinal herbs you want isn¡¯t low. In addition, Martial Uncle doesn¡¯t have the second-tier demonic core, but you can ask senior brother Ma. He should be able to get it.¡± Martial Uncle Feng stared at the list again and again. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. ¡°Strange, why do I feel that the medicinal properties of these materials mixed together are somewhat simr to the Foundation Building Pill?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Martial Uncle Feng to roughly deduce the direction of the final medicinal properties just by looking at the list of materials. He could only say that the Medicine Celestial Valley was truly worthy of its name. Everyone there was talented. ¡°Can you tell Martial Uncle what kind of pill you want to refine?¡± Martial Uncle Feng finally asked. ¡°It¡¯s the Foundation Establishment Pill,¡± Cheng Xu answered. ¡°What? You can even concoct Foundation Establishment Pills?!¡± Martial Uncle Feng was shocked, his face filled with disbelief. Cheng Xu smiled and humbly replied, ¡°Maybe I¡¯m really talented in refining medicine. I can learn a lot of things with just one look.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, as expected of the disciple that senior brother Chi Yao has chosen,¡± Martial Uncle Fengmented as he clicked his tongue and nodded. He then frowned and asked, ¡°But then again, can these ingredients really be used to refine the Foundation Building Pill? I feel that the medicinal properties are still far from enough.¡± ¡°This disciple also blindly figured it out based on an ancient pill recipe. Whether it will seed or not is still another matter.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Martial Uncle Feng nodded, epting his words. He continued, ¡°In my opinion, it¡¯s better not to waste the medicinal ingredients. Why don¡¯t you directly use senior brother Chi Yao¡¯s Foundation Building Pill recipe to concoct it?¡± Cheng Xu smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. He spent 2000 merit points to purchase a few sets of Foundation Building Elixir materials from Martial Uncle Feng. As for the level two demonic cores, he didn¡¯t need to trouble Martial Uncle Ma. There were a few in the storage bag of the fiend heir from before, and he could use them to refine. After returning to the cave, he immediately started refining. First, he processed each material ording to the system¡¯s optimized pill form. Then, he ced them in the material column on the refining panel ording to the order of the pill form. He selected [Confirm Refining], and the familiar image of a pill furnace appeared in front of him. ¡°Good Lord, this progress bar!¡± Cheng Xu eximed. Looking at the unmoving progress bar, he couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. As expected, starting from the Foundation Building Elixir, the difficulty of these high-level elixir pills began to increase. Judging from the speed of the progress bar, it would take at least ten to twenty hours to finish it. Fortunately, he could make two cauldrons at the same time. Hence, he repeated the previous process and made another batch. At the same time, Cheng Xu¡¯s mental power began to be consumed rapidly. The next day. Two sessful notifications popped up one after another, and it took nearly a day. But the result was still very satisfactory. With two middle-grade pills and one high-grade pill per batch, just four middle-grade Foundation Building Pills would be enough to cover their costs. The next batch of pills would be pure profit. Two dayster, Cheng Xu brought the results of his concoction to the Merit Hall and handed them over. He had twelve mid-grade Foundation Building Pills and six high-grade Foundation Building Pills, which totaled 9600 merit points. At this rate, bing rich was no longer a dream! However, the news of Cheng Xu¡¯s sessful concoction of the Foundation Establishment Pill still managed to rm the higher-ups of the Medicine Celestial Valley. That night, he was blocked in the cave by the Sect Leader, Reverend Dan Yang, together with the higher-ups of the Medicine Immortal Valley. His master, Reverend Chi Yao, was also among them. A group of alchemy grandmasters stared at the pill form that Cheng Xu had given them, studying it over and over again, but no matter how much they thought about it, they could not figure it out. His master, Chi Yao Zhenren, also tried using the same materials on the spot. After several consecutive failures, he finally managed to refine a furnace of low-grade Foundation Building Pills. It wasn¡¯t that Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s level wasn¡¯t good enough, but he still didn¡¯t quite understand the underlying principles of this pill recipe. Once he understood it, with his alchemy skills, the resulting pills would start from high grade. ¡°You really refined it?¡± The Medicine Immortal Valley heavenly group looked at each other in disbelief. The elder of the Merit Hall, Martial Uncle Ma, calcted the cost and gasped, ¡°Good fellow, the cost is more than 30% lower than that of senior brother Chi Yao¡¯s form. The key is that many of the ingredients can be cultivated.¡± ¡°Hiss~! Not only has the cost been reduced by 30%, but the difficulty of obtaining materials has also been greatly reduced,¡± Reverend Dan Yang eximed. He still couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°If this continues, won¡¯t our Medicine Immortal Valley make a fortune?¡± In the midst of their bewilderment, their gazes all gathered on Cheng Xu. ¡°Little Cheng, you¡­ How did you do it?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be ttered. He said, ¡°I tried to make some adjustments ording to my own understanding. I didn¡¯t expect to seed.¡± Reverend Dan Yang and the others exchanged looks and couldn¡¯t help sighing with emotion. ¡°That cracked elixir flower was worth it! Such a novel way of refining medicine. He¡¯s simply a natural alchemist!¡± ¡°Little Cheng, oh Little Cheng, your understanding of the Foundation Building Elixir is probably several levels higher than master¡¯s,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren mulled over the recipe of the Foundation Building Pill in his hand, his eyes bewildered andplicated. The key was that Cheng Xu was basically self-taught. He didn¡¯t give him much guidance. It could only be said that for a true top student, a teacher was just a decoration. Cheng Xu awkwardly scratched his head, pretending to be humble. ¡­ Late at night, after the Medicine Immortal Valley heavenly group dispersed, Cheng Xu was brought to his immortal¡¯s cave by his master, Chi Yao Zhenren. ¡°These bookshelves are filled with the pill forms that have been passed down and improved by our Medicine Celestial Valley. Unfortunately, many of the pill forms are no longer avable because the key ingredients have gone extinct,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren began. He pointed at the bookshelf and introduced, ¡°From now on, you can enter and leave this room freely. You can study it by yourself. I¡¯m going to study your recipe for the Foundation Building Pill first.¡± After he finished speaking, he held the pill recipe and walked towards the pill refining room, muttering non-stop. Only Cheng Xu was left staring at the bookshelves full of precious pill forms, swallowing his saliva. Chapter 37 Magical Equipment Exposition The next step was a happy reading and instation process. He stored all the pill recipes in the system in one go. There were also many pill recipe research notes, totaling 103.7 MB. In an instant, the recipe page for [Alchemy] expanded by several pages. There were records of all kinds of practical medicinal pills and all kinds of strange and special medicinal pills. The only pity was that more than half of the forms were marked in gray. Obviously, with Cheng Xu¡¯s current refining ability, he was still unable to refine these high-level pills. ¡°Eh? Even the level of my Pharmacology has increased,¡± Cheng Xu muttered. He saw that his level 10 Pharmacology level actually rose to level 12 in one go. From this, he could see how valuable the medicinal knowledge contained in the pill research notes left behind by the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s predecessors were. Sadly, his refining ability was still only at an advanced level. He didn¡¯t know how much alchemy knowledge he had to collect to upgrade his alchemy ability to the next level. After returning to his cave abode, Cheng Xu began to study the pill forms in the application of [Medicine Refining]. What he focused on the most was the supplementary pill for Foundation Establishment Cultivation, the True Essence Pill. This pill could effectively increase the speed of true essence condensation and speed up the progress of Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Furthermore, after generations of improvements by the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s ancestors, the current form for the True Energy Pill was already quite suitable for the people. But even so, many of the materials were not easy to obtain. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to have reached the limits of Pharmacology,¡± Cheng Xu observed. He didn¡¯t even think about it and immediately used the cultivationputer to optimize it. It would take a total of seven and a half days for the optimization. He turned his attention to the other pill recipes. ¡°Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill?¡± Looking at the ingredients required for the Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill, he couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. ¡°No wonder it¡¯s impossible to refine it now.¡± At least five of the ingredients were hard to obtain, and the main herb, Marrow Changing Flower, had long gone extinct in Small Southern Heaven. Fortunately, the Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill recipe did not seem to have reached the limits of its medicinal efficacy. After confirming the optimization, the countdown to the optimization actually showed 18 days. ¡°I hope I can optimize the Marrow Changing Flower,¡± Cheng Xu secretly prayed, then focused his eyes on the cracking pill¡¯s recipe. The recipe for the cracked pill was still gray, but it still could not stop Cheng Xu¡¯s curiosity about it. After all, it was a high-grade medicinal pill worth one of his own. ¡°Speaking of which, what¡¯s with the Core Formation Stage?¡± he wondered. From the end of the experiential learning until now, Cheng Xu struggled with the problem of the Core Formation Stage and searched for some rted information in the library cave. Reading them, he could only say that the immortal cultivation realms in this world were indeed different. Starting from the Golden Core Stage, the subsequent stages were the Core Transformation Stage and Convergence Stage. And the Convergence Stage was the peak. There wasn¡¯t much information about these two realms. It only mentioned that after the Golden Core was cultivated to the limit, it had to actively break during the heavenly tribtion, causing a qualitative change in magical power. But wouldn¡¯t it be self-destruction if he broke his Golden Core? Not to mention, breaking his Golden Core during the heavenly tribtion, wasn¡¯t that pure suicide? As for the subsequent Core Formation Stage, there was no further description. It only mentioned that there was such a realm. ¡­ Seven days passed by in a sh. The form of the True Energy Pill had been sessfully optimized to the limits of medicinal theory, and the cost of refining it had been greatly reduced. Cheng Xu had not been idle for the past few days. He had been soaking in the library cave to expand his pharmacological data. He had basically installed all the alchemy books in the Medicine Celestial Valley and sessfully upgraded his Pharmacological Level to level 15. The size of the alchemy application had also expanded to 1074 MB, which was more than a GB. However, there was still no improvement in his refining ability. It was still only at the advanced level. This made Cheng Xu suspect that advanced was the maximum. However, from the results of the True Energy Pill that he had refined, his refining ability had improved, but not by much. ¡°You don¡¯t say. The effects of this high-grade True Energy Pill are really good,¡± he said to himself. After sessfully using the superior-grade True Essence Pill he had concocted, his cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort. Unfortunately, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the experience bar became frighteningly long. It would take at least a year to see the end. ¡°Eh? the Glorious Crimson Scripture has broken through?¡± he murmured. When thest true energy pill¡¯s medicinal effect ended, Cheng Xu was about to end his cultivation, but to his surprise, he discovered that the Red Glory ck Sutra had broken through to the second realm. Cultivation techniques weren¡¯t like martial arts and spell techniques, where a fewyers could be directly installed. Cultivation techniques usually only had one set ofplicated skill forms. After cultivating it, one would reach the first realm. The subsequent improvements would all depend on one¡¯sprehension and the umtion of time. After breaking through to the second level of the Glorious Scarlet Scripture, the enhancement of the fire and wood elements was obvious. The power and effects of both the White me True Technique and the Poison Ivy technique had clearly increased. ¡°Not bad, not bad. It seems that myprehension is not bad!¡± After all, the operating memory prehension) had increased from 128 MB to 512 MB. ¡­ He left the cave and found his master, Chi Yao Zhenren. ¡°Little Cheng, you¡¯vee at the right time. I¡¯ve already thoroughly understood the recipe for your Foundation Building Elixir,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said with an excited expression. ¡°Some of the medicinal theory ideas have really benefited me a lot~!¡± Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly, ¡°That¡­ Can we set off now?¡± ¡°Depart? Where are you going?¡± his master asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°Oh, right!¡± Chi Yao zhenren pped his forehead and hurriedly began to pack his things. ¡°Oh, right!¡± Chi Yao Zhenren pped his forehead and hurriedly began to pack his things. After a while, he walked out of the cave abode with Cheng Xu. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the merit Hall to exchange some spirit stones first, do you want toe with me?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll exchange some too.¡± When they arrived at the merit Hall, Cheng Xu exchanged 8000 merit points for spiritual stones in one go, which was a total of 200000 spiritual stones. He had thought he was already pretentious enough, but he didn¡¯t expect that Chi Yao Zhenren was even more ruthless. He casually swiped his identity card and directly exchanged it for 200000 merit points, which scared Cheng Xu silly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you getting too many contribution points?¡± Cheng Xu swallowed his saliva as he watched. ¡°Half of the sect¡¯s high-grade medicinal pill orders are handled by your master, so after so many years, I¡¯ve naturally umted a lot of contribution points.¡± Cheng Xu clicked his tongue and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Scorching Sun Sect,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren dered. Walking out of the merit Hall, he took out a big gourd and flew in the direction of the Scorching Sun Sect with Cheng Xu. ¡°By the way, master, why are you going to the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± Cheng Xu inquired. ¡°The Scorching Sun Sect holds a magical equipment exhibition every year. In the past, it was always your senior uncle, sect leader, or senior uncle Ma who attended. But this year, the Scorching Sun Sect has specifically invited me. Since your martial uncles are currently obsessed with the medicinal mantra and don¡¯t want to waste time, I¡¯ve decided to represent the Medicine Immortal Valley this year,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren exined. Cheng Xu nodded in understanding and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s this magical equipment exposition about?¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually a trade fair where the Scorching Sun Sect sells all kinds of magical equipment. Every year, it attracts arge number of cultivators from the sect and rogue cultivators,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren answered. ¡°Would it have a flying sword?¡± Cheng Xu asked. ¡°Of course, when the timees, just tell me if you see anything you like,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren boasted as he patted the storage bag on his waist, exuding the air of a nouveau riche. ¡°Speaking of which,¡± Cheng Xu said confusedly, ¡°the demonic sects are in chaos now. Is it really okay for the Scorching Sun Sect to organize such a big event? ¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Can¡¯t our righteous path operate normally when the demonic path is in chaos? Besides, ever since that devil was seriously injuredst time, the devil Dao has obviously quieted down a lot recently,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren chuckled. Cheng Xu was left speechless. The Medicine Immortal Valley was about three days¡¯ journey from the scorching sun sect. On the way, the master and disciple had an in-depth exchange of medicinal knowledge with the Foundation Building Elixir as the core. Originally, Cheng Xu had only wanted to apany his master to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, as they were discussing, the vast amount of alchemy knowledge in his mind began to operate on its own. Ding! Ding! [Integrating and optimizing the refining data¡­] Three dayster, when the master and disciple finished their discussion¡­ [Data integration and optimizationpleted. Refining ability increased.] He looked at the [Medicine Refining] ability. Although it was still at the advanced level, there were some changes. [Refining Ability: Advanced (63%)] If nothing unexpected happened, as long as he increased the remaining percentage to 100%, he would sessfully break through to the next level. In other words, he finally saw the experience bar. As for the method to increase the experience bar, it was obviously to optimize and integrate the vast amount of alchemy knowledge in his mind. It seemed that he would have tomunicate more with his master in the future. In fact, it wasn¡¯t just him, but Chi Yao Zhenren had also opened up a lot of medicinal theory ideas in the discussion between the two. ¡°There! The Scorching Sun mountain range is just ahead,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren pointed at a Scarlet mountain range in front of them. Chapter 38 The Truth Of The World The Scorching Sun sect was famous for its weapon-refining skills. Its main gate was built on a fire-element spiritual vein. There were at least seven or eight volcanoes in the entire Scorching Sun Mountain range, and the earth fire was rich in resources, which was extremely suitable for weapon-refining. The magical equipment exposition would be held on one of the mountains that had a rtively good view. The big gourdnded steadily in the venue. In the next second, the sect master of the scorching sun sect, Huyan Lie, personally came forward to wee him. ¡°Hahaha, Brother Chi Yao, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Faced with Huyan Lie¡¯s warm wee, Chi Yao Zhenren was clearly not used to it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Sect master Huyan, I hope I¡¯m notte?¡± ¡°It¡¯s notte, it¡¯s notte. As long as Brother Chi Yao coulde, it¡¯s never toote.¡± Huyan Lie was extremely enthusiastic. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you around the venue.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren and Cheng Xu awkwardly followed Huyan Lie¡¯s footsteps, feeling ufortable all over. Ever since Chi Yao Zhenren had revealed the cracking pill and the medicinal mantra, the ¡®Four great sects¡¯ attitude towards him had be extremely realistic. ¡°By the way, Brother Chi Yao, a few days ago, I heard that your Medicine Immortal Valley is preparing to increase the production of Foundation Establishment pills, is that true?¡± As Huyan Lei led the way, he didn¡¯t forget to take advantage of the situation and make some inquiries. ¡°There is such a thing.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren nced at Cheng Xu and nodded with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s great news!¡± Huyan Lei¡¯s eyes lit up.?¡°When the timees, no matter what, you have to give my Scorching Sun sect a bigger share.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren waved his hand andughed, ¡°I think it¡¯s better to chat with my Junior Brother Cheng Xu.¡± Huyan Lieughed and turned to look at Cheng Xu. ¡°Speaking of which, ever since thest joint training, my son has been full of praise for your beloved disciple.¡¯ ¡°This disciple of mine is indeed outstanding.¡± Chi Yao zhenren unconsciously straightened his back, and pride was almost written on his face. ¡°The increase in production of Foundation Building pills this time is all thanks to little Cheng Zi¡¯s optimization of the Foundation Building pill recipe. Huyan Lie was stunned when he heard this. ¡°Foundation Establishment pill? Optimization?¡± Huyan Lie looked at Cheng Xu in shock. ¡°Brother Crimson Glory, you¡¯re not joking with this Brother, right?¡± ¡°Like I said, this disciple of mine is absolutely a genius in alchemy,¡± Reverend Chi Yaoughed. ¡°Really?¡± Huyan Lie Zan was still in disbelief. After all, in his opinion, it was already outrageous for Cheng Xu to be able to refine Foundation Building pills. Now, he was actually telling him that Cheng Xu could optimize the form of medicinal pills. This ¡­ Was it reasonable? As they spoke, they had already entered the venue. In the huge venue, people came and went, and all kinds of Dharma treasures dazzled the eyes. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Hearing the familiar call, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but turn around and see Bai CI¡¯er and Master Luoyue walking toward them. ¡°Oh ~ Senior Sister Bai is here too?¡± Cheng Xu weed her with a smile, and Bai CI¡¯er was also overjoyed. On the other hand, Luoyue zhenren changed his usual cold attitude and specially bowed slightly to his master, Chi Yao zhenren, aftering up. Even his tone was much gentler. ¡°I heard that Chi Yao zhenren repelled the Peak Jindan devil with a medicinal mantra that day. I¡¯m very curious.¡± ¡°Daoist Luoyue, you don¡¯t have to praise me.¡± Chi Yao zhenren obviously wasn¡¯t used to it, but his embarrassed expression seemed to have a bit of a strange taste. Cheng Xu saw everything and felt uneasy. ¡®Good Lord, is this still the abbess miejue from my impression?¡¯ Bai CI¡¯er naturally also felt the change in her Master¡¯s attitude towards Chi Yao zhenren, and she looked at Cheng Xu with some embarrassment. ¡°CI¡¯er, you should follow little Cheng around first. I still have many things I want to ask Chi Yao zhenren.¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. Good fellow, even the way she addressed him had be polite. Perhaps this was the truth of the human world that people often talked about. The big bosses were talking, and Cheng Xu and Bai CI¡¯er couldn¡¯t interrupt, so they strolled around the venue with Bai CI¡¯er. ¡°That ¡­ Master might be a little snobbish, so Junior martial Brother Cheng, please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Bai CI¡¯er said, a little embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s human nature.¡± Cheng Xu smiled indifferently and changed the topic. ¡°By the way, after Senior Sister Bai¡¯s experiential learning, did you exchange for the Sword Art that you like?¡± ¡°Yes, I got it.¡± Bai CI¡¯er nodded happily. ¡°This time, I came here with my master to look for a flying sword. ¡°Isn¡¯t that flying sword of yours pretty good?¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. ¡°It¡¯s not bad, but that¡¯s the sword that Master used when she was young. Its attributes don¡¯t match the Sword Scripture that I cultivate.¡± Bai CI¡¯er exined. ¡°I see.¡± ¡°By the way, Junior Brother Cheng got the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique, right? Although that Sword Art can¡¯t be considered the top in the Yunzhong sect, if one canprehend the highest level of it, it¡¯s not inferior to those top Sword Arts at all. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a bit more difficult to cultivate.¡± ¡°Very difficult? How high is it?¡± ¡°In the history of the Yunzhong sect, the number of people who couldprehend the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique to the fourth realm could be counted on one¡¯s fingers, and there was only one person who couldprehend the fifth realm, and that was more than three hundred years ago.¡± Cheng Xu pretended to have a headache, but he was actuallyughing in his heart. After all, he had already installed the fifth level of the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique. ¡°If Junior Brother Cheng has anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me. I should be able to provide you with some help.¡±?Bai CI¡¯er was a little shy. ¡°Not yet. When there is, it won¡¯t be toote to invite Senior Sister.¡± Cheng Xu said with a smile. Bai Cl¡¯er smiled sweetly and walked side by side with Cheng Xu in the venue. The atmosphere was very unique. ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Brother Cheng and Sister CI¡¯er?¡± A familiar voice broke the beautiful atmosphere. Cheng Xu looked up unhappily. Wasn¡¯t that Brother Wang Xiaolun who had a hole in his brain? Cheng Xu and Bai CI¡¯er didn¡¯t speak, but Wang Xiaolun didn¡¯t feel embarrassed at all. He took the initiative to step forward and said, ¡°What do you think guys? The Scorching Sun sect¡¯s magical equipment exposition is quite impressive, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good.¡±?¡°Yes.¡± Cheng Xu replied indifferently. ¡°Don¡¯t be so distant. Brother won¡¯t fight with you for Sister CI¡¯er.¡± Wang Xiaolun winked and grinned. Hearing this, Bai CI¡¯er¡¯s face instantly became hot. ¡°Brother Wang, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Junior Brother Cheng and I¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s a girl, so I understand~ I understand ~!¡± Wang Xiaolun was not stupid. Although he liked to hook up with girls, he knew which girls he could hook up with and which girls he could not. Bai CI¡¯er¡¯s face was red, and she didn¡¯t know how to exin for a moment. ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Cheng Xuughed dryly to resolve the awkwardness.¡±Brother Wang, do you have a job here? We won¡¯t disturb you any further.¡± After he finished speaking, he pulled Bai CI¡¯er away from this annoying fellow. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense.¡± Bai CI¡¯er lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Cheng Xu. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Cheng Xu smiled, his eyes were attracted by therge number of stalls outside the venue. Wasn¡¯t it a magical equipment exposition? Why are there still stalls? Bai CI ¡®er¡¯s nervousness eased a lot. Seeing Cheng Xu¡¯s strange expression, she asked in confusion, ¡°Junior Brother Cheng?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it an exhibition? Why are there so many stalls?¡± ¡°You mean this,¡± Bai CI¡¯er smiled and exined, ¡°The Expo willst six days. We can¡¯t just let everyone see the exhibits, right? With more cultivatorsing, it¡¯ll naturally form a transaction, and it¡¯ll also allow the Rogue cultivators to gather more funds, so why not?¡± Cheng Xu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. After all, not all cultivators were as rich as them. If they saw a magic treasure but couldn¡¯t afford it, they had to sell some of their assets on the spot. After a few more times, wouldn¡¯t it be an exchanging market? Cheng Xu¡¯s interest was piqued when he saw so many stalls. He entered the stall area in high spirits and found that most of the stalls were selling forging materials and all kinds of Dharma treasures. There were also many misceneous forging books. After going around and installing the Refining Books skill one by one, the level of [Refining] application increased without him realizing it. [Refining] [Refining Theory: Level 6] [Refining Ability: Intermediate] It was a pity that they were all basic refining books, and the total data added up to only 56MB, which was not very valuable. It would be great if he could find a way to visit the library of the Scorching Sun sect. However, there was still a key problem, and that was that the hard disk was not enough.[1952.8MB/2048MB] ¡°I have to think of a way to get the mysterious soil crystal.¡± Bai CI¡¯er obediently followed beside him. Seeing Cheng Xu staring at the armament refining book, she couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Junior Brother Cheng is also interested in forging?¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and nodded.?Speaking of which, does Senior Sister Bai know where I can get some Mystic earth crystals? ¡± ¡°Mystic soil crystal? That¡¯s a rare earth attribute material,¡± Bai CI¡¯er said in surprise.?¡°Why does Junior Brother Cheng want it?¡± Cheng Xu smiled and said nothing, and Bai CI¡¯er did not probe further. ¡°If Junior Brother really wants the mysterious earth crystal, you can ask the fellow Daoist in the Scorching Sun sect. Isn¡¯t Brother Wang there?¡± Cheng Xu looked back at Wang Xiaolun, wondering if he should ask that idiot. Chapter 39 The Lady Look A Little Familiar At this time, a familiar beautiful young girl was leading a Golden core stage rogue cultivator into the venue. She was the beautiful girl from the Scorching Sun sect whom he had saved earlier. If he remembered correctly, her name was Chen Xinyue. Bai CI¡¯er¡¯s attention was obviously not on Chen Xinyue, but on the Golden core cultivator beside her.¡±Yuntai Daoist master also came?¡± ¡°He is the Yuntai Daoist master?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly taken aback. When he was in the market of Yuntai mountain, he had heard of the name of Yuntai Daoist master more than once. Today, he finally saw his appearance. The two of them went forward and paid their respects to yuntai. ¡°It¡¯s you, little girl. Not bad, not bad ~ you¡¯ve reached the Foundation Establishment realm so quickly. You have the elegance of fairy Luoyue in the past!?Yuntai Daoist master gave an appreciative smile, and then looked at Cheng Xu with a smile,¡±You must be the new disciple of Chi Yao Daoist master, good!¡± When Chen Xinyue saw Cheng Xu, she was naturally overjoyed. However, because she was receiving Yuntai zhenren, it wasn¡¯t appropriate for her to talk too much. Cheng Xu smiled apologetically at Yuntai and turned to Chen Xinyue, ¡°Fairy Chen, do you know where I can get the mystic earth crystal?¡± ¡°Mystic soil crystal?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not easy to get that thing,¡± Chen Xinyue said in a daze. ¡°You mean you can get it?¡± Cheng Xu was overjoyed. ¡°If brother Cheng isn¡¯t in a hurry, I¡¯ll ask my master after I¡¯m done with my work.¡± ¡°Thank you for your trouble, fairy.¡± ¡°Brother Cheng, you saved my life. You¡¯re treating me like an outsider by saying this.¡± Chen Xinyue waved her hand and smiled. At this moment, Yuntai Daoist master suddenly spoke, ¡°Little guy, you want the mystic soil crystal? ¡± ¡°Do you have it?¡± ¡°I do have a piece of Mystic soil crystal in my hands.¡± Yuntai Daoist master nodded with a smile. ¡°I don¡¯t have much use for the mysterious earth crystal. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s very rare¡­¡± ¡°How many spirit stones, please.¡± ¡°I don¡¯tck spirit stones.¡± ¡°Then what do you want?A pill?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± At this moment, his master, Chi Yao zhenren, happened to walk over. ¡°Daoist yuntai, are you trying to trick my disciple? ¡± ¡°Chi Yao zhenren¡¯s words are too serious, it¡¯s just a fair trade.¡± Yuntai Daoist master weed him with a smile. ¡°I wonder what kind of medicinal pill fellow Daoist Yuntai wants?¡± asked Chi Yao zhenren with a smile. ¡°A small golden core will do.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a coincidence? I happen to have one in my hand.¡± Reverend Chi Yao chuckled and took out a small golden core. One upper-grade small golden core. Yuntai Daoist master¡¯s eyes brightened, and he immediately took out the mysterious earth crystal. Just like that, Cheng Xu easily obtained this piece of Mystic earth crystal. Then, venerable Luoyue also walked over with a chuckle. After greeting venerable Yuntai, he waved and took Bai CI ¡®er away. Chen Xinyue continued to be responsible for receiving Yuntai zhenren into the venue. Cheng Xu looked at the mystic earth crystal in his hand with aplicated expression. He was extremely touched. His master, Chi Yao zhenren, had really treated him well. ¡°Speaking of which, what do you want this Mystic earth crystal for?¡± Chi Yao zhenren asked, puzzled. ¡°Disciple has cultivated a Special Eye technique previously, and I need Mystic soil crystals to advance.¡± Cheng Xu casually threw the me on Evil Eye. Chi Yao zhenren nodded in understanding.?¡°Let¡¯s go, the inner hall of the exhibition has already been opened. Let¡¯s see if there are any magical equipment or flying swords that suit you.¡± Cheng Xu obediently followed his master and silently sent his divine sense into his storage bag. He used the mysterious earth crystal and 100000 spirit stones to upgrade the hard disk to level five. The tight space in the hard disk was instantly relieved.[1952.8MB/4096MB] The moment the upgrade was sessful, the space of his sea of consciousness directly doubled. Tsk, tsk. Two gigabytes of hard disk space was enough for him to use for a long time. However, the 5¡Á6 hard drive requirement surprised him.[100,000 spiritual stones +500 grams of flowing clear sand.] He followed Chi Yao zhenren into the inner hall of the exhibition. As far as the eye could see, every booth had first-ss, high-quality magical equipment. With his [Artifact Refining] skill application upgraded, he now has a good ability to evaluate Dharma treasures. Oh! This little bronze mirror is not bad! ¡°This wheel de seems pretty good.¡± ¡°Hey, this wine gourd is good. I¡¯ll take it ~ I¡¯ll take it ~¡± After Chi Yao zhenren entered the inner hall, he instantly transformed into a shopaholic and bought two magic treasures in a short time. Cheng Xu was stunned as he watched from the side. He didn¡¯t know when he could be as willful as his master. Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t interested in those high-end magic weapons. After all, with his current strength, he couldn¡¯t even use many of them. It was the disy stage with Formation disks that attracted his attention. It wasn¡¯t that these Array disks were very powerful, but the prices on the side had shocked him. A broken Tier 3 Formation disk actually cost 170000 spirit stones. How was this any different from robbery? It had to be known that the technical content of refining an Array disc could not bepared to magic treasures. In essence, it was a metal te covered with needle holes. What really made the Array disc glow and emit heat were the array techniques carefully woven on the Array disc. Do you know embroidery? An empty formation disk was like a piece of cloth that had not been embroidered. Although silk and cloth were also divided into different grades, a Grade 3 Space Formation disk shouldn¡¯t be sold for 170000 spirit stones, right? ¡°Speaking of which, can an empty formation disk be sold at such an expensive price?¡± Cheng Xu looked at Chi Yao zhenren with a puzzled expression. ¡°Just looking at the materials, it¡¯s naturally not worth this price, but the value of the empty formation te doesn¡¯t lie in the materials, but in those densely packed holes,¡± Chi Yao zhenren exined with a light smile. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Every needle hole on the formation te can be used as the base point of the formation. Then, how to make use of and connect these base points more effectively has be a problem. Thus, the depth, distance, and arrangement of each needle hole on this disk array is a very profound knowledge,¡± Chi Yao zhenren exined. ¡°The low-end formation disks out there are made for a single formation, and they can only create a corresponding formation. But these formation disks are different. One formation disk can create many formations. ¡°There are so many tricks?¡± While Cheng Xu was surprised, he stared at the Formation disk in front of him and fell into deep thought. He wasn¡¯t sure about other people¡¯s situation, but at least in his opinion, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to make this kind of multipatible array of pins. It would just be a matter of slightly moving the CPU. ¡°Do you see the inscriptions on the side of the Formation disk? He¡¯s the only elder in the Scorching Sun sect who¡¯s proficient in both Weapon forging and Formation techniques. People call him Daoist master Jin Pan. Any Formation disc he makes is a hotmodity in the southern heaven.¡± Cheng Xu took a closer look. Indeed, the words [zing Sun-golden Disk] were engraved on each disk array. ¡°I heard from my friends at the Godly Gauze Pce that you know a little bit about arrays. If you¡¯re interested, I can pack them up for you.¡± Chi Yao zhenren asked. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. There¡¯s no need.¡± Cheng Xu hurriedly waved his hands. In his opinion, buying this thing was a waste of money. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to?¡± ¡°There¡¯s really no need.¡± Cheng Xu hurriedly walked to the other booths. If he didn¡¯t leave, his master would have to ¡®Swipe his card.¡¯ After continuing to tour the inner hall for a while, Chi Yao zhenren suddenly thought of something, ¡°That¡¯s right, you don¡¯t have a decent Pill furnace, right? Go, go, go, I¡¯ll give you an entire Pill furnace.¡± ¡°Uh, the Pill furnace in this disciple¡¯s cave abode is quite good!¡± Although he had never used it before, the alchemy furnace in his immortal¡¯s cave was indeed not bad. ¡°How can that kind of trashy Pill furnace be worthy of my disciple?¡± After he finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Xu to the alchemy furnace booth without further ado. The selection and payment were done in one go. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t even have the time to refuse before the most expensive Pill furnace on the disy stage was forcefully stuffed into his arms. ¡°Although this Pill furnace isn¡¯t as good as the one I have, it¡¯s still pretty good.¡± Chi Yao zhenren let Cheng Xu put away the pill furnace with satisfaction. ¡°As a fellow who makes a living for us alchemists, you must not make do with it.¡± ¡°Alright ¡­ Alright.¡± Cheng Xu had no choice but to ept this top-grade Pill furnace. At this moment, he seemed to have experienced the distress of those rich second generation. Then, Cheng Xu was dragged to the front of the flying sword booth. Flying swords were the mostmonly used weapons of immortal cultivators, so naturally, there were the most exhibits. When the two came over, master luoyue and Bai CI ¡®er happened to be there too. Bai CI¡¯ er was holding a green flying sword in her hand, and she looked happy. Apparently, she had found a flying sword that suited her. ¡°Daoist Chi Yao has alsoe to choose a flying sword?¡± Reverend luoyue looked at Reverend Chi Yao with a surprised expression. ¡°Help little Cheng choose two.¡± you¡¯re right, ¡± immortal luoyue said with a smile.?little Cheng has just obtained the sword Art of our yunzhong sect. He should have a flying sword. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about flying swords, so I¡¯ll have to trouble fellow Daoist luoyue to give me some pointers.¡± Chi Yao zhenren humbly asked for advice. you¡¯re too kind, fellow Daoist. Little Cheng is also considered half a disciple of our yunzhong sect.?Master luoyue chuckled and waved his hand. Then he turned to Cheng Xu and said, ¡°¡±Little Cheng, you¡¯re cultivating the heavenly cloud sword technique, right?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Master luoyue nodded slightly. After looking around the dozen or so booths for a moment, he pointed at the five flying swords in turn. the heavenly cloud sword technique is known for its fierce and Swift sword momentum. Flying swords are naturally tough and sharp. At the same time, the body of the sword should not be too heavy, just the right length will do. These five flying swords are good. ¡°Thanks!¡± Chi Yao zhenren slightly cupped his fists. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of Cheng Xu and luoyue zhenren, he bought five flying swords in one go and stuffed them all into Cheng Xu¡¯s hands. Cheng Xu was dumbfounded. As for Reverend luoyue and Bai CI ¡®er, they were obviously shocked by Reverend chiyao¡¯s wealth and were speechless. After bidding farewell to luoyue zhenren and his disciple, Cheng Xu left his master, chiyao zhenren, on the grounds that he wanted to walk around. He could only say that his master¡¯s favor was too heavy, and he couldn¡¯t bear it. However, the five flying swords were not bad. While they werepatible with the heavenly cloud sword technique, they were also inclined to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Moreover, their quality was extremely high, the kind that could not be used until thete stage of the foundation building realm. After leaving Chi Yao zhenren, Cheng Xu thought about finding a ce outside the venue to try out the heavenly cloud sword technique and his flying sword. When he passed by the trading area in the outer Hall, his line of sight was suddenly attracted by a female cultivator at the stall next to him. ¡°What a familiar feeling.¡± It was a female cultivator in the early stage of the foundation building realm who seemed to have just set up her stall not long ago. One thing was for sure, that face waspletely unfamiliar, but it gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Initially, Cheng Xu thought it was an illusion. He shook his head and was about to leave when he felt a strange energy fluctuation from the female cultivator¡¯s stall. The evil eye of ten thousand Arts in his body began to stir. ¡°?!¡± Among the messy items in the stall, there was a small familiar bronze fragment. Cheng Xu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart as he walked to the front of the stall. The sense of familiarity from the female cultivator in front of him grew stronger. When the female Xiu saw Cheng Xu, an imperceptible strange look shed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed. ¡°Miss, you look familiar. Have we met before?¡± The female cultivator covered her mouth and teased,¡±fellow Daoist¡¯s way of hitting on people is a little too clich¨¦.¡± ¡°Oh, then maybe I¡¯m mistaken?¡± Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly and began to read the girl¡¯s data silently. He then pretended to ask about the bronze fragment.?how much is this fragment?¡± five sets of Qi-gathering elixir, best if it¡¯s close to middle-grade ~!?The female cultivatorughed to herself. Cheng Xu¡¯s heart trembled. At the same time, the female cultivator¡¯s data popped up in front of his eyes: [Yue wanling] [cultivation: early stage of Foundation establishment] [Cultivation Technique: ??? ] [ martial arts techniques: snow-treading wind, Thunderbolt spell, dark ice sword technique, clear heart spell, heavenly spirit body protection spell, disguise technique ¡­ ] The familiar panel information stunned Cheng Xu, especially the cultivation method that even the system could not recognize. Although Cheng Xu had thought that it was her, he was still shocked when he confirmed it. Chapter 40 Cooperation He didn¡¯t expect Yue Wanling to have also cultivated to the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm. One had to know that Cheng Xu had reached the Foundation Building stage with the help of a cheat and the support of his sect, but Yue Wanling was just a loose cultivator! ¡°Five sets of Qi-gathering elixir, right? I don¡¯t have any in my hands for now,¡± Cheng Xu replied with a smile after he calmed down. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, you cane with me to find a quiet ce and make it for you on the spot.¡± Yue Wanling smiled knowingly. ¡°Of course you can.¡± As he spoke, he kept the stall and left the venue with Cheng Xu. They walked down the mountain path and finally stopped in a small, remote forest. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that in just a few months, a fellow Daoist would be a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± Yue Wanling sized up Cheng Xu with great interest, as if she was thinking about something. Her eyes were like she was sizing up a potential prey. ¡°Fairy, you¡¯re not bad either. You reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few months. May I know why you¡¯ve called me out?¡± Cheng Xu chuckled. ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to have a chat with you.¡± Cheng Xu naturally didn¡¯t believe her and changed the topic, ¡°From the looks of it now, what I saw in the market of Mount Yuntai and the Floating Immortal City back then was not fairy¡¯s true appearance, right?¡± Yue Wanling smiled nomittally. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this bronze fragment?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Cheng Xu nodded. ¡°May I know where you got this fragment?¡± ¡°I picked it up.¡± ¡°Where did you pick it up?¡± Yue Wanling frowned slightly. I happened to see a fellow Daoist leave his storage bag on the ground, so I went up and picked it up. It was that simple. ¡°¡­¡± To be able to talk about killing and robbing in such a fresh and refined way, there was no one else. He had thought that he would be able to find more clues to the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art, but it seemed like he had been overthinking. ¡°Is there anything special about this fragment?¡± Yue Wanling carefully examined the bronze fragment in her hand. Other than feeling a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, she didn¡¯t find anything else. ¡°The fragment itself isn¡¯t important. What¡¯s important is the origin of the fragment.¡±?Cheng Xu did not hold back. As soon as he heard that the other party did not know where the fragment hade from, he immediately began to read the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Mantra. Just as he had expected, it was the iplete first level of the Evil Eye. After installing it, the Evil Eye¡¯s size had increased from 37MB to 45MB, and he had sessfully mastered the first level of the Evil Eye. The Evil Eye¡¯s 0.85 on the configuration panel had also be 1.0, but it was not convenient to experience its changes right now. ¡°Is that so?¡±?then do you still want this fragment?¡± Yue Wanling asked, still skeptical. ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Yue Wanling was a little annoyed. ¡°If I had known this would happen, I would have sold the fragment to you first.¡± ¡°Inparison, I¡¯m more interested in your disguising technique.¡± Cheng Xu was not stupid. After mastering the Art of Disguise, it would be much more convenient for him to do bad things or run away. ¡°Ten thousand spirit stones, no bargaining.¡± Yue Wanling made a decisive bid. ¡°Sure.¡± Cheng Xu took out 10000 spiritual stones without hesitation. Yue Wanling was secretly surprised, the disciples of the Medicine Celestial Valley are indeed rich! As she spoke andughed, she waved her hand and put the spirit stones into her bag. Then, she threw a tattered booklet to Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu simply scanned through it, read, load, and install it in one go. It was a 20MB spell, simple and practical. ¡°By the way, may I ask what kind of cultivation technique fairy cultivates?¡± Cheng Xu suddenly asked after they were done. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking about this?¡± Yue Wanling asked, puzzled. Cheng Xuughed dryly and said, ¡°I¡¯m just looking at how fast you¡¯re cultivating. I¡¯m sure the cultivation art you cultivate is extraordinary.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about the cultivation technique. I can¡¯t make a move. Yue Wanling tly refused.¡± Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He tried to use the disguising technique to adjust his appearance with his mind, and then, under Yue Wanling¡¯s incredulous gaze, he changed his face. ¡°Y-you¡­¡± Yue wanling was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t even speak coherently. ¡°It¡¯s quite simple.¡± Cheng Xu smiled pretentiously and took out a bronze mirror to look at his reflection. He was secretly satisfied. You don¡¯t say this bro is quite suitable for ancient costumes. He¡¯s a living beauty in ancient costumes. That¡¯s right, his appearance after the disguise was exactly how he looked before he transmigrated. ¡°You¡­ How did you do it?¡± ¡°What, is this spell very difficult? I think it¡¯s pretty simple!¡± It took Yue Wanling a long time to calm down. She looked at Cheng Xu with a deeper look in her eyes, and then suddenly asked, ¡°by the way, how¡¯s the rtionship between the Medicine Celestial Valley and the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Cheng Xu was confused.?¡°Why are you asking this, fairy?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a big business deal, do you want to join us?¡± Yue Wanling pretended to be mysterious. ¡°Fairy, please borate.¡± He saw Yue Wanling mysteriously set up a simple sound-proof formation, and then said seriously, ¡°Fellow Daoist, have you heard of the ¡®Heaven Refining Precious Technique¡¯?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head in confusion. ¡°The ancestors of the Scorching Sun Sect left behind a Divine Art of refining treasures. It¡¯s said that it can refine all things in the world and turn the rotten into the magical.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered. It seemed that his guess was right. This girl hade to the Scorching Sun Sect with a different appearance. Her purpose was not simple. Although he had never heard of the ¡®Heaven Refining Precious Technique¡¯, from the other party¡¯s description, it was very likely to be an existence on the same level as the [Medicinal Law Truth]. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you can¡¯t be thinking of stealing that Heaven Refining Precious Technique¡¯, right?¡± Cheng Xu looked at Yue wanling in shock. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yue Wanling didn¡¯t try to hide it. ¡°How about it? Do you want to join us? After it¡¯s done, you and I will each make a copy and then go our separate ways, no one will know each other.¡± ¡°Fairy, you¡¯re not joking, right?¡± ¡°That precious technique is stored in the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s book collection tower. Until now, no one has been able to understand the profoundness within, and I¡¯ve figured it out,¡± Yue Wanling continued, ¡°right now, we are in the middle of a Magical Equipment Exhibition, and the guard of the library tower is ratherx. This is the best time to strike.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s interest was piqued when he heard that it was the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s library tower. ¡°If that¡¯s really the case, why didn¡¯t fairy go alone? why did you have to drag me along?¡± ¡°To be honest,¡± Yue Wanling said helplessly, ¡°although I¡¯ve found a way to break the tower¡¯s array, it requires at least two cultivators in the early stages of the Foundation Building stage to perform it.¡± ¡°Why me and not the others?¡± ¡°Originally, I didn¡¯t intend to work with you. After all, you are now a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley. However, it is too difficult to find a trustworthy and suitable teammate. Plus, you¡¯ve already mastered the Art of Disguise, so ¡­¡± Yue Wanling said. Cheng Xu pondered and frowned. ¡°What if we¡¯re discovered?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s run!¡± ¡°There are many golden core experts in the Scorching Sun Sect. How can we run?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. I¡¯ve already made preparations.¡± ¡°What preparations?¡± Cheng Xu was skeptical. ¡°In short, we can definitely get lost. What do you think?¡± Yue Wanling asked impatiently. ¡°Do you want to join me?¡± Cheng Xu took a deep breath and said helplessly, ¡°If I refuse, fairy, are you going to fight me?¡± Yue Wanling was honest and said, ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Cheng Xu shook his head and sighed. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I can only offend you.¡± After he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked with the Tiger Taming Fist. Yue Wanling seemed to have been prepared for this and was very experienced. The cold air around her body was like the wind, and she easily avoided Cheng Xu¡¯s surprise attack. Then, she turned her hand around andunched a Thundering Spell at Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu had already activated his Protective Dipper Energy. ¡°BOOM!¡± Cheng Xu was shocked that his third-level Protective Dipper Energy had been shattered by the Thunderbolt Spell. The facts had proven that this kind of girl who grew up by killing and robbing was indeed not someone ordinary people could control. Cheng Xu¡¯s entire body was numb from the rumbling Thunder Spell. Fortunately, he had the protection of the fine grade soft armor that he had received as a reward for the joint experiential learning, so he was not seriously injured. ¡°Fairy, you¡¯re good!¡± With that, the Poison Ivy Spell broke out from the ground under Yue Wanling¡¯s feet, and it looked like it was going to entangle Yue Wanling. Yue Wanling smiled, and golden runes surged around her body, shattering the Poison Ivy Spell. Before Cheng Xu could react, an exquisite flying sword with a frosty air was already flying toward him. Cheng Xu calmly used the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique to block it. As soon as the sword momentum was released, it was like a sea of clouds rolling. It easily parried the attack of the flying sword and spread out a circle of astonishing air waves. ¡°Fellow Daoist¡¯s methods aren¡¯t bad.¡± Yue Wanling said, a little surprised. ¡°Tsk! This is just how it should be! There¡¯s something even more impressive,¡± Cheng Xu replied with a smile. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Two flying swords shot out from Cheng Xu¡¯s back, one from the left and the other from the right, each carrying a different sword momentum from the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique to attack Yue Wanling. ¡°Multi-tasking?¡± Yue Wanling was shocked. Feeling the terrifying power of the two flying swords, she quickly raised her hand and threw out an ancient coin. The ancient coin was thrown into the air and quickly erged to the size of a disc. ¡°Chaa!¡± The ancient coin Dharma treasure wrapped the two flying swords with the square holes and easily dissolved the sword momentum of the Heavenly Cloud Sword technique. Cheng Xu was stunned. He stared at the ancient coin and drooled. ¡°How is it?¡± Yue Wanling took the two flying swords and asked with a sweet smile, ¡°This little sister¡¯s strength can still be considered worthy in brother Cheng¡¯s eyes, right?¡± ¡°Fairy, you¡¯re indeed not an ordinary person,¡± Cheng Xu nodded with a meaningful look in his eyes. The two of them clearly did not have the intention to really fight each other. They were only testing each other¡¯s strength. Yue Wanling smiled confidently and threw the two flying swords back to Cheng Xu.?¡°Can we cooperate now?¡± She asked. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do. Who asked me to be unable to defeat fairy?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to sigh. ¡°But then again, what kind of magical treasure is that ancient coin? It¡¯s that powerful?¡± Yue Wanling smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. The next second, the two of them looked down the mountain in unison. ¡°Someone¡¯sing.¡± ¡°Fellow cultivator, who dares to fight in the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± A familiar yet rough voice was heard. After recognizing that it was Huyan Zan¡¯s voice, Cheng Xu quickly removed his disguise and revealed his true appearance. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t that brother Cheng from the Medicine Celestial Valley?¡± Huyan Zan flew down aggressively. From his aura, it was obvious that he had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Building Realm. ¡°Why are you fighting with someone instead of staying at the venue, brother?¡± Cheng Xu exined, ¡°didn¡¯t we just get a few flying swords from the venue? That¡¯s why I found a fellow Daoist to test my swordsmanship on.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Huyan Zan smiled. ¡°I thought something bad had happened.¡± ¡°By the way, is brother Huyan on patrol?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°There are crooks mixed in with the honest folk during the exhibition period. The sect is worried that devil cultivators might sneak in, so they¡¯ve sent quite a few deacons and disciples to patrol around the venue,¡± Huyan Zan nodded and said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have disturbed brother Huyan¡¯s patrol.¡± Cheng Xu expressed his deep apologies. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. I wish brother Cheng a good time. I¡¯ll be going back to my work.¡± Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Huyan Zan turned around and left on his sword. After sending Huyan Zan off, Cheng Xu felt a little guilty. ¡°Fairy Yue, do you think we¡¯re in cahoots?¡± Chapter 41 - 41: Yue Wanling Chapter 41: Yue Wanling Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Absolutely not,¡± Yue Wanling dismissed the notion without much consideration. ¡°The Scorching Sun Sectcks understanding of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique, so why should they withhold it from us? Besides, it would be a reckless waste to let such a magnificent masterpiece technique collect dust in the library.¡± ¡°That may be true, but it¡¯s ultimately their possession. We can¡¯t control their decisions,¡± Cheng Xu replied. ¡°How do you even know that the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique belongs to the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that the case?¡± ¡°In the current cultivation world, how many sects truly inherit techniques exclusively from their own families?¡± Yue Wanling curled her lips and scoffed. ¡°Enough of your overthinking. When you obtain the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique, you¡¯ll probably be happier than anyone else.¡± With those words, Yue Wanling led the way and gestured for Cheng Xu to follow suit. Cheng Xu shook his head in speechless amusement and silently trailed behind, assuming the handsome appearance from his previous life. Yue Wanling had already mapped out the route. After a while, they bypassed the patrolling disciples, guided by Yue Wanling, and arrived at the main peak of the Scorching Sun Sect, where the library tower stood. Yue Wanling took out a piece of transparent gauze and wrapped them around it. By the way, where did you obtain all these peculiar items?¡± Cheng Xu asked with envy in his eyes. ¡°Enough chatter. We¡¯re stealing right now, not going on a leisurely outing,¡± Yue Wanling retorted. ¡°Oh,¡± Cheng Xu awkwardly fell silent. Being a good studenting from a civilized world, he had never engaged in such ndestine activities. However, the thrill of it felt novel and exhrating! Under Yue Wanling¡¯s guidance, the two of them swiftly made their way to the rear of the library tower. It was a tower entirely constructed from metallicponents, consisting a total of six floors and protected by ayer of defensive array. ¡°Speaking of which, won¡¯t people notice if we directly breach the array formation?¡± Cheng Xu voiced his concern. ¡°Of course not,¡± Yue Wanling replied with a mysterious smile, retrieving an object that resembled apass from her storage bag. ¡°Come, infuse your true essence into this magical treasure of mine.¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t grasp the situation, but he obediently followed Yue Wanling¡¯s instructions and channeled his true essence into thepass. As their vital energy was infused, a peculiar energy fluctuation emanated from thepass. Just as their true essence was nearing depletion, Yue Wanling excitedly signaled for them to stop. ¡°Sess!¡± Yue Wanling carefully pulled thepass¡¯ legs apart, causing the array lightyer in front of her to slowly peel back like supple skin. Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Fairy, are you Doraemon?¡± ¡°Enough nonsense, hurry and enter,¡± Yue Wanling retorted, gradually revealing her true disposition. She snorted and red at Cheng Xu before silently leaping into the array lightyer. Cheng Xu followed suit closely. After they were both inside, Yue Wanling retrieved thepasses, and the gap in the array formation¡¯s lightyer instantly sealed shut once more. ¡°Stay quiet and don¡¯t make a sound! There might still be a few Scorching Sun Sect disciples guarding inside,¡± Yue Wanlingmunicated through her Divine Awareness. ¡°Let¡¯s climb up and enter directly from the third floor.¡± Cheng Xu nodded solemnly. From the moment he entered the array, there was no way out. Thus, both of them temporarily replenished their true essence and cautiously ascended to the tower¡¯s third floor. However, all the tower¡¯s windows were sealed, leaving no ess point. To tackle this obstacle, Yue Wanling once again produced a peculiar object from her ¡°dimensional pocket¡±. With a swift maneuver, the metal window was effortlessly removed by her. At that moment, Cheng Xu could only describe this girl with a single word: Professional! She resembled those super-skilled thieves from the movies in his previous life. Together, they sessfully infiltrated the third floor of the library tower. ¡°The Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is most likely hidden on the top floor. Let¡¯s ascend and locate it so we can make a copy,¡± Yue Wanling proposed. ¡°Make a copy? Didn¡¯t you just take it away?¡± Cheng Xu questioned. ¡°Are you daft?¡± Yue Wanling retorted unhappily. ¡°If we simply take it, the Scorching Sun Sect will undoubtedly notice. By making a copy, we can do it discreetly.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly, in understanding. As they climbed the stairs, he inquired, ¡°Are you confident in your ability to copy the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique?¡± ¡°What if it¡¯s not in a written form but concealed within an object or a painting?¡± Cheng Xu provided an example. ¡°Although I can use a cultivationputer to read and install it, wouldn¡¯t 1 be courting death if it crashes for a few days?¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I be able to copy it?¡± Yue Wanling appeared perplexed. For instance, what if the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is not in the form of text but is hidden within an object or a scroll?¡± Cheng Xu borated. ¡°No, it¡¯s just an Iron Scroll containing the technique,¡± Yue Wanling replied without hesitation. ¡°Fairy, have you seen it before?¡± Cheng Xu inquired. Yue Wanling smiled but remained silent. Momentster, they reached the top floor of the tower. The top floor had the smallest space and fewer books. The two of them looked at each other and began to search separately. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t find any trace of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique after searching for a long time. Instead, he found an extremely powerful magic treasure production method. It recorded a powerful magic treasure called [Substitute Xiaobao]. After refining it, it could block a fatal injury for its master and teleport the master out, leaving a corpse that looked exactly like the master on the spot. ¡®Good heavens, wasn¡¯t this equivalent to having an extra life?¡¯ Unfortunately, the books in the library were all sealed in a special restriction. They could be seen but not touched. Hence, Cheng Xu thought of Yue Wanling. ¡°Fairy, do you have a magic treasure that can open the restrictions on this?¡± Yue Wanling turned around hesitantly. ¡°You found it?¡¯ No, I just found this magic treasure forging method quite interesting and wanted to make a copy of it.¡± Yue Wanling rolled her eyes at Cheng Xu and threw him a token. ¡°Remember, return it to me after you¡¯re done.¡± Cheng Xu was surprised and delighted. He thought it was some powerful prop. He took a closer look and found that it was an identity card of an inner disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect. ¡°D*mn, you even dare to kill an inner disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± Cheng Xu gasped. ¡°1 picked it up.¡± Yue Wanling replied impatiently. ¡°Do you think 1 believe you?¡± ¡°Believe it or not.¡± Yue Wanling didn¡¯t care if Cheng Xu believed her or not and continued to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique. While Cheng Xu was secretly on guard against this girl, he used the identity card to activate the restriction of [Substitute Xiaobao] and sessfully read and installed it. Then, he searched for the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique while reading the books rted to refining. ¡°Found it!¡± There was good news from Yue Wanling¡¯s side. ¡°You hid it quite well. This little trick won¡¯t stop me.¡± Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised and went forward to take a look. He saw that the secretpartment of the bookshelf in front of Yue Wanling was slowly opening up, revealing a simple and unadorned iron scroll with dense inscriptions carved on it. At the same time, the loading option appeared in front of him. At a nce, he knew that it was not on the same level as the stone tablet in the Medicine Immortal Valley. He tried to load it and did not install it for the time being. As long as he did not install it, it should not be a problem. It turned out that the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique was indeed not on the same level as the Mantra of Medicine. After activating the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, it took less than an hour to sessfully load it into the cultivationputer, but he did not dare to install it directly for the time being. During the reading process, Cheng Xu also sessfully experienced the full effect of the firstyer of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. In addition to the spiritual impact, there was another effect that allowed one to absorb spiritual energy from the void. Moreover, the rate of absorption was quite fast, almost doubling the concentration of spiritual energy in the surroundings. The only drawback was that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy, which was equivalent to consuming spiritual energy to increase his cultivation speed. Even so, it was still a big surprise for Cheng Xu. ¡°Transcriptionplete!¡± Yue Wanling put away the Jade slip with satisfaction, then carefully returned the secret bookshelf to its original state. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll make a copy for you when we get out.¡± Cheng Xu hesitantly looked at the Artifact Refinement manuals in the library. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t you stay a little longer?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. The Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s collection of books on refining is quiteprehensive.¡± Yue Wanling¡¯s eyes flickered. As she spoke, she took out the second Scorching Sun Sect disciple identity card from her storage bag. Cheng Xu was stunned. ¡°You killed more than one?¡± ii ii Yue Wanling rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Then where did you get these two identity cards?¡± ¡°So many disciples of your sects have died in the joint operation. Is it difficult for me to take the opportunity to get two identity cards? I have the identity cards of the other three sects, let alone the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± Yue Wanling pouted. ¡°Uh, alright.¡± Following that, Cheng Xu began to read through the Artifact Refining manuals in the library. Yue Wanling could only copy them one by one with the Jade slips, making Cheng Xu feel extremely superior. It couldn¡¯t be helped. This was the difference in technology. The two of them copied and read from the top floor all the way back to the third floor. In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. The disciples on duty downstairs changed shifts several times, but they did not notice the two of them. At this moment, Cheng Xu¡¯s [Equipment Refining] application had expanded to 475.2MB, and his Equipment Refining skills had also risen. [Artifact Refining] [Equipment Refining Theory: Level 10] [Refining ability: Advanced] Cheng Xu was satisfied. After they were done, the two of them went to the familiar window at the same time. After jumping out of the window, after Yue Wanling¡¯s miraculous operation, the window that was cut open actually sealed up perfectly, and there was no trace of it at all. Next, it was the familiar Compass opening the lightyer of the formation. Just as the two of them were halfway through injecting their true essence, a loud sound suddenly came from the mountains, followed by a violent tremor, which scared the two of them. Yue Wanling was also frightened, but she quickly calmed down. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Themotion seems to being from the exhibition.¡± Cheng Xu looked at the mountain peak where the exhibition was held in shock. He saw that it was already enveloped by a ball of Demonic Qi, and there was a faint sound of intense battle. ¡°What was going on?¡± ¡°The demonic path is starting to act again?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the demonic path had already restrained itself a lot? Why did they attack the sect directly?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be distracted. Let¡¯s hurry up and open the array formation first.¡± While Yue Wanling was surprised, her expression was secretly happy. ¡°With the demonic path doing this, we¡¯re actually safer.¡± Cheng Xu looked at Yue Wanling suspiciously. ¡°Why do 1 feel like the demons are cooperating with you to retreat?¡± ¡°You suspect that I¡¯m from the Demon sect?¡± Yue Wanling¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. ¡°A little, but not quite.¡± Yue Wanling rolled her eyes and couldn¡¯t be bothered with Cheng Xu. A momentter, the lightyer of the formation was sessfully opened. The two of them jumped out of the formation and started to retreat toward the Scorching Sun Sect. The Scorching Sun Sect was in a mess. Demonic Cultivators could be seen everywhere. As the two of them retreated, they were quickly targeted by a group of Demonic Cultivators. The leader was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment feminine-looking youth with a familiar bronze bell floating beside him. He was probably another Demon heir. ¡°Where are you two running off to?¡± The feminine-looking young man smiled evilly and blocked their path. Several ws behind himughed evilly. ¡°Demon Lord, this girl¡¯s level is a little low?¡± After seeing Yue Wanling¡¯s appearance, the Demonic Cultivators were greatly disappointed. The feminine-looking young man waved his hand with a look of disdain. ¡°You¡¯ve really dirtied my eyes. Hurry up and put it out. There¡¯s no need to be gentle with women.¡± ¡°Alright, Demon Lord!¡± Several of his minions immediately surrounded Cheng Xu and Yue Wanling Yue Wanling was not angry. As she hummed softly, the cold air around her body overflowed. The flying sword shot out from behind her. Wherever it passed, the cold wind raged and left behind arge area of Bone-piercing Ice Flowers. Several Qi Condensation Demonic Cultivators were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, leaving only two Early-stage Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators alive. When the demon heir saw this, his expression instantly turned solemn. He was about to make a move personally when he was stopped by two flying swords that were speeding over. ¡°Sorry, your opponent is me..¡± Chapter 42 - 42: Yuntai Zhenren Again? Chapter 42: Yuntai Zhenren Again? Trantor: Draqon Boat Trantion Editor: Draqon Boi Sensing the terrifying power of the two flying swords, the feminine-loo king young man¡¯s expression became even more solemn. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to be so stubborn!¡¯¡¯ The feminine-looking young man snorted. Blood Qi surged around him, and a pair of blood-colored scimitars appeared in his hands. Cheng Xu was just about to find someone to practice with, so he directly used the Cloud Sword Technique to attack. ¡°You overestimate yourself!¡± The feminine-looking young man sneered in disdain. His scimitars surged with blood-red light and threw out blood-red light des. ng! ng! ng! The sea of clouds churning like sword momentum was actually on par with the feminine -looking youth. Little did he know that Cheng Xu had not used his full strength yet. The two flying swords that circled Cheng Xu¡¯s back shot out again. Under the control of the dual-core CPU, they each disyed different sword forms of the Cloud Sword Technique. Coupled with Cheng Xu¡¯s Cloud Sword Technique, it was equivalent to three Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators attacking at the same time. The feminine-looking young man, who was full of confidence a second ago, instantly turned pale with fright. Bang! The feminine-looking young man¡¯s blood essence was instantly torn apart by the ovepping sword qi. He was sted to the ground on the spot, looking extremely miserable. If not for the Blood Soul Bell protecting its master in time, it would probably have been instantly killed by Cheng Xu¡¯s outburst. Looking at the other side, how could the two Early-stage Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators be Yue Wanling¡¯s match? After a series of screams, they fell to the ground one after another. ¡°It seems Senior Bai was right. The fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique is indeed powerful!¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly amazed by the might of the Cloud Sword Technique, he immediately chased after it. The feminine-looking young man controlled the Blood Soul Bell to block in a panic. An ancient coin flew through the air, easily prating the blood-red energy around the Bloody Soul Bell and hitting it urately. ng! The Blood Soul Bell let out an ear-piercing ring and then shattered on the spot under the young man¡¯s incredulous gaze. ¡°Amazing!¡± Cheng Xu looked at Yue Wanling in shock. Yue Wanling calmly kept the ancient coin and cast the Rolling Thunder Curse at the feminine-looking young man. ¡°Don¡¯t let him escape! ¡°¡® ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t be able to escape!1¡® Cheng Xu grinned and quietly stared at rhe Escape Technique and Movement Technique in the feminine youth¡¯s interface. The feminine-looking young man hurriedly brandished his two sabers to block the Lightning Rush Curse. He subconsciously wanted to use an Escape Technique to escape, but just as he activated it, rhe fire suddenly extinguished. Before he could react to the situation, he was knocked to the ground by a frost sword qi. Cheng Xu¡¯s two flying swords followed closely behind and stabbed into the feminine-looking young man s chest. The pitiful feminine-looking young man died on the spot. Even until his death, he still could not understand why these two Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were so powerful. Then, the two of them flew forward and reached for the storage pouch on rhe feminine-looking young man s waist. Both of their hands grabbed the storage bag at the same time and identally touched each other. The atmosphere instantly became awkward. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re a disciple of the Medicine celestial Valley. Why would you be interested in such a small thing? ¡°Yue Wanling asked with a smile. ¡°What are you saying? I¡¯ve only joined the Medicine Celestial Valley for less than half a year, and I might not be as rich as you,¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and pretended to be poor. ¡°That¡¯s why you should give me this pouch. Besides, Fairy has already taken the storage pouch of the other demon cultivators.¡± Yue Wanling¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. Her small hand gripped the storage pouch tightly and refused to let go. ¡°You and 1 will each take a step back. How about we split it in half?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, do you value money so much?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same?¡± ¡°In that case, shouldn¡¯t I get half of the other demon cultivators¡¯ things?¡± ¡°I killed those little demon cultivators. What does it have to do with you?¡± Cheng Xu was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. ¡°Alright, alright, half it is then.¡± ¡°You make it sound like I¡¯m taking advantage of you. 1 only take what I deserve.¡± Yue Wanling snorted and pouted. Then, she and Cheng Xu split up the feminine youth s assets. In the end, there was an extra spirit stone. Cheng Xu directly threw it to Yue Wanling, but it was split into two by Yue Wanling and she threw half to Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu was rendered speechless. ¡°It¡¯s just a spirit stone.¡± Yue Wanling didn¡¯t answer. She stood up silently and said, ¡°We shouldn¡¯t stay here for long. It s better to leave as soon as possible.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t leave first. My master is still inside. But then again, are you selling those magical treasures?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head and smiled. I¡¯ll exchange it with spirit stones and pills if you want.¡± ¡°Not for sale.¡± Yue Wanling resolutely said, ¡°See you again!¡± With that, she cupped her fists at Cheng Xu and turned to leave. Cheng Xu saw this and could only sigh helplessly. After all, he was really interested in Yue Wanling¡¯s props. One of them turned around and walked up the mountain, while the other walked down the mountain. In the next second, the two of them turned around at the same time and threw their flying swords at each other. ng! The two flying swords collided fiercely, reflecting two awkward yet polite smiles. ¡°Ahem, sorry, my hand slipped.¡± Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly and resentfully withdrew his flying sword. ¡°Sorry, my hand slipped just now.¡± Yue Wanling also withdrew her flying sword awkwardly. Then, she left behind a familiar sentence, ¡°The road to Jianghu is long. We ll meet again if fate allows it.¡± She crushed an Earth Shrinking Talisman and disappeared. Just now, the two of them clearly had the intention to kill and rob each other, but they were not 100% confident in killing each other, so this awkward scene happened. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Even if Cheng Xu could forcefully silence Yue Wanling¡¯s skill, just that strange magic treasure alone was enough to make him suffer, especially that ancient coin. It was f*cking ridiculous. Moreover, this girl was obviously born in the Doraemon year. Who knew if she had even more powerful magic treasures in her hands? Cheng Xu sighed and silently removed his disguise. He then hung the Medicine Celestial Valley identity card back on his waist. At the same time, an earth-shattering aura emanated from the mountain where the exhibition was located. Looking up, he saw a dark golden ¡°Qi¡± character that blotted out the sky rising slowly. Obviously, his master, Yuntai Zhenren, was showing off his might again. As for his teacher¡¯s safety, he was not too worried. As the only alchemist in Mini Southern Heaven who could refine the Cracking Pill, the Gold Core elders of the various sects and the itinerant cultivators would definitely protect him well. Moreover, he was only an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so he couldn¡¯t help much. Therefore, Cheng Xu was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he found a hidden ce and quietly waited for the development of the situation. He also took advantage of the situation and picked up the corpses. Boom! Boom! Boom! The battle on the mountain intensified. After Daoist Yuntai Zhenren used the qi and poison words, the demonic army still didn¡¯t have any intention of retreating. ¡°Old Yuntai, you will die today!¡± A familiar voice drifted from the sky, causing Cheng Xu to be stunned. ¡°It can¡¯t be. Are they here for Yuntai Zhenren again?¡± Cheng Xu opened the Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye in astonishment and looked at the top of the mountain, ¡°What kind of evil things did Master Zhenren do to those demons?¡± Once might be a coincidence, but twice was clearly not a coincidence. ¡°Could it be that Yuntai Zhenren killed the entire family of those demons? Or did he say that he made them cuckold?¡± ¡°No, no, if it¡¯s a personal grudge, is there a need to make such a big fuss?¡± ording to Cheng Xu¡¯s observation, the siege on Scorching Sun Sect was the same as the siege on Grand Cloud Mountain. It was not just the Blood Demon Church alone, but several other Demon Sects. The Blood Demon Church was like a bystander in the crowd. None of the Golden Core Stage demons who were moring in the air were from the Blood Demon Church. From this, it could be seen that the Blood Demon Church had only sent some people symbolically. The question was, what did the Grand Cloud Master do to the other demonic sects? Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t the only one who was puzzled. The experts in the venue were also puzzled. Originally, they were still trying their best to assist the experts of the various parties. However, they began to slow down their attacks and watch the show from the sidelines.. Chapter 43 - 43: Phantom Chapter 43: Phantom Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The Demon Cultivators, who had freed up their hands, immediately shifted their target andunched an attack on Yuntai Zhenren, intensifying the pressure on him. Unable to contain himself, Yuntai Zhenren shouted, ¡°Fellow Cultivators, why have you stopped? It¡¯s clear that these thieves are here for the magical equipment in the exhibition. We cannot let them seed!¡± The Golden Core experts exchanged nces but still remained motionless. ¡°What grudge does Fellow Daoist Yuntai have with the Demon Sect?¡± Huyan Lie, the leader of Scorching Sun Sect, asked in a deep voice. ¡°1 am merely a rogue cultivator. What grudge could 1 possibly have with them?¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s expression looked like he was unjustly used. It was at this time that the leading Golden Core demonic cultivator finally spoke up, ¡°I am afraid you all are unaware that this Yuntai old man is a traitor of our ck Water Pce. He used despicable means to steal our sacred item and fled here.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoists, please do not believe in the words of these demons. The cultivation techniques I practice are all pure orthodox cultivation techniques!¡± Master Yuntai hurriedly exined, panic evident in his voice. ¡°The righteous path?¡± The leading J indan Stage demonic cultivator smiled coldly and intensified the force of his attack, forcing Yuntai Spiritual Master to retreat step by step. Observing that the righteous path no longer trusted him, the Grand Cloud Immortal¡¯s face contorted with anger. ¡°Old Yuntai, today is the day you die!¡± A pitch-ck murderous aura soared into the sky, shrouding the sky above the mountain peak like dark clouds. The overwhelming pressure caused the expressions of the persons present to change. At that moment, Yuntai Zhenren finally ceased hiding. His face twisted into a ferocious expression as he roared. Dark streaks of ck gas appeared on the surface of his skin, forming ayer of strange tattoos. ¡°One day, you will definitely regret this!¡± Yuntai Zhenren roared in anger, and an apparently solid ck baleful aura emanated from his body, taking on a terrifying form. Witnessing this spectacle, the faces of the Golden Core experts turned pale at once. ¡°Hiss ~ Yuntai Zhenren is truly a devil!¡± ¡°Thest time we encountered him at Grand Cloud Mountain, I felt that something was off about this old guy. Now, looking at him, he truly is not a good person.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s an internal conflict within the demonic path, why don¡¯t we seize this opportunity to eliminate them all?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s exhibition had to be interrupted.¡± Huyan Lie waved his hand with curiosity, ¡°If we can exterminate this group of demons in one swift stroke, all these will be worth it!¡± Jindan experts from all sides joined the battle again, but this time they regarded Yuntai Zhenren as their enemy. Boom! Boom! Boom! The fierce battle raged on for nearly two hours. With Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s Qi word mantra, Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s breath became chaotic on the spot and the demonic cultivators seized the opportunity to pummel him. With a piercing scream, Immortal Yuntai¡¯s body exploded into strange ck mucus. Upon witnessing the ck sticky liquid, the demonic cultivators swarmed forward like starving wolves, scrambling to absorb the ck sticky liquid into their bodies,pletely disregarding the attacks from the righteous path. At the foot of the mountain, although Cheng Xu¡¯s vision was obscured, he had a general idea of what was happening. To put it in simple terms, Master Yuntai was actually a traitor of the ck Water Pce, who had stolen the sacred object of the ck Water Pce through some despicable means, leading to several attacks from the ck Water Pce. ¡°It seems that the ck sticky liquid is the so-called sacred object of the ck Water Mystical Pce.¡± Observing the scene where the fiendish cultivators were frenziedly snatching the ck sticky liquid, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but be amazed. ¡°I wonder what the hell that ck sticky liquid actually is?¡± After the demonic cultivators fought over the ck sticky liquid, they ceased their battle and started retreating, while the righteous path big shots chased after them. Seeing that the chaos on the mountain was gradually subsiding, Cheng Xu finally felt relieved and hurriedly ascended up the mountain. He had only taken a few steps when a strange ck shadow suddenly appeared in the vision of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. It was floating down the mountain in a state of panic. Upon closer inspection, Cheng Xu recognized the shadow as Yuntai Zhenren. ¡°?!¡± Good heavens, so this old thing wasn¡¯t dead yet. It was just that he had employed some unknown method to actually slip away from under the watchful eyes of the various experts. Cheng Xu attempted to read the data of the virtual image of the Immortal Yuntai. ¡°Ding!¡± Cheng Xu was shocked when he saw that the reading was sessful in an instant. It became evident that the virtual image of Immortal Yuntai had no firewall at all. This further confirmed Cheng Xu¡¯s suspicions, and he immediately activated the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye to cast a wave of mental attack. In the next second, the floating Yuntai Zhenren writhed in pain, resembling a vampire being scorched by the zing sun, emitting wisps of white smoke. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°How do you fare, Senior Yuntai?¡± Cheng Xu emerged, his pair of pitch-ck eyes giving off an innocent appearance. ¡°That disciple of Perfected Yuntai?!¡± Master Yuntai eximed in disbelief. ¡°Yes, it is I.¡± ¡°You can see my incorporeal spirit body?¡± Yuntai Zhenren questioned in disbelief. Cheng Xu¡¯s grin turned wicked. ¡°Senior, where are you rushing off to? Aren¡¯t you going to stay and have a chat with me?¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s expression wavered, but he feigned calmness and said, ¡°A mere Foundation Establishment brat intends to obstruct this old man¡¯s path?¡± Having anticipated his bluff, Cheng Xu immediately employed the Poison Ivy Technique to ensnare him, then apanied it with the use of the White me True Technique to burn him. Ever since he read the data of the virtual image, Cheng Xu had known that the current Yuntai Spiritual Master was nothing more than a paper tiger. This was because there were no cultivation techniques or skill data present in the phantom¡¯s information. ¡°Brat, 1¡¯11 kill you!¡± Thebined damage from the mes and poison made Master Yuntai scream relentlessly. Unfortunately, he was no longer the Yuntai Master of old and could not resist at all. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Data intrusion detected. Would you like to intercept it?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly taken aback but chuckled inwardly anyway. It seemed that the virtual image of Yuntai Zhenren possessed considerable abilities, even capable ofunching a spiritual attack on him. Presumably, it probably sought to possess something. Unfortunately for it, it had encountered Cheng Xu, and luck was not on its side. Having failed to invade Cheng Xu¡¯s mind, Yuntai Zhenren was shocked. He turned around and attempted to flee but was easily caught up by two flying swords. Cheng Xu brandished his sword and chased after him, using the Cloud Sword Technique. Witnessing the surging sword Qi, Yuntai Zhenren panicked, ¡°No, no, no, don¡¯t ~ Little friend, let¡¯s talk!¡± ¡°We can talkter.¡± Cheng Xu relentlessly employed the Cloud Sword Technique to beat it, battering it until it was weakened. He then took advantage of the situation to pull it into the sword in his hand and firmly locked it in the sword. Only then did he feel satisfied. ¡°Little friend, I implore you to spare me.¡± Being sealed within the flying sword, Master Yuntai lost all trace of arrogance. Regrettably, Cheng Xu paid him no mind and stowed the flying sword in his storage bag. There was no rush; he would release itter. Once he finished, he hurriedly returned back to the mountain. The exhibition had been reduced to ruins, and many Scorching Sun Sect disciples were cleaning up the aftermath. His master, Perfected Yuntai, had been inquiring about Cheng Xu¡¯s whereabouts from the Scorching Sun Sect. Upon seeing Cheng Xu safe and sound, his eyes turned red. ¡°Brat, where on earth have you been? I thought you¡­¡± ¡°I apologize for causing you to worry.¡± Cheng Xu guiltily exined, ¡°I merely wanted to find a ce to test my flying sword. Unexpectedly, I experienced a sudden revtion during the process. So, I took the opportunity toprehend the Cloud Sword Technique.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Perfected Yuntai heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine ~ It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. You are a fortunate individual, kid. You just managed to escape the clutches of the demonic path.¡± At that moment, Bai Ci¡¯er, who had been waiting for her master, Perfected Luoyue, to return, also rushed over joyfully. Upon seeing Cheng Xu safe and sound, her previously worried heart finally eased. When she learned that Cheng Xu hadprehended the Cloud Sword Technique, she grew even more ted. ¡°I never expected Junior Brother Cheng to have grasped the Cloud Sword Technique so quickly. By the time the various sects convene, 1 reckon that you¡¯ll have reached the second or even third level.¡± Cheng Xu smiled but remained silent. After another half a day passed, the righteous path experts who had gone to chase after the demonic cultivators returned one by one. From their expressions, it was evident that they had not managed to exterminate those demonic cultivators. Following the upheaval, the Magical Equipment Exposition was prematurely brought to an end.. Chapter 44 - 44: Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique Chapter 44: Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Before he left, Perfected Luoyue specially came up tomend Perfected Yuntai, expressing her newfound respect for him after witnessing his true abilities in medicine. Perfected Yuntai, overwhelmed by the praise, couldn¡¯t contain his smile and happily talked about Perfected Luoyue on the way back. ¡°Little Cheng, you might not know this, but when I was young, Perfected Luoyue was widely recognized as the number one beauty of the righteous path. There were countless people who pursued her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you were one of her pursuers back then?¡± Cheng Xu was at a loss for words. ¡°That¡¯s not true. 1 was quite self-aware back then,¡± Perfected Yuntai replied. Cheng Xu was even more speechless. ¡°So, you liked her at some point?¡± ¡°What are you saying? Fairy Luoyue is naturally beautiful and talented. Who wouldn¡¯t like her?¡± Yuntai Zhenren chuckled, shaking his ample body. Cheng Xu clicked his tongue and responded meaningfully, ¡°Then let¡¯s work hard together!¡± ¡°Work hard together?¡± Yuntai Zhenren finally caught on and shook his head. ¡°Forget it, forget it. How could Fairy Luoyue take a liking to me?¡± ¡°How would we know if we don¡¯t try?¡± On their way back, the master and disciple engaged in further discussions on medicine. Three dayster, they sessfully returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley. After the data integration and optimization along the way, his refining ability increased again, from high-level (63%) to high-level (71%). If there were no idents, he would be able to sessfully advance to the next level after discussing with his master for a period of time. Upon their arrival, it was evident that the news of the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s attack by the Devil Dao had reached the Uncles and Elders in the Medicine Celestial Valley. They were relieved to see both Cheng Xu and Perfected Yuntai safe and sound. Cheng Xu immediately entered seclusion upon returning to his cave abode, eager to install the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique. It turned out that his decision to not rush the instation was wise. The Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique was an impressive technique. Although it was a mere 125MB in size, it overwhelmed Cheng Xu¡¯s mind and temporarily froze his brain. Though the recovery time was rtively short, it was still a powerful technique. Although it had only caused him to be down for less than three days, which was iparable to the medicinal technique mantra from before, it was still very powerful. When Cheng Xu woke up, he realized that he had sessfully mastered the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique. The realization left him shocked and muttering, ¡°Holy shit, really?¡± Feeling the exnation and understanding of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique in his mind, Cheng Xu could not help but be a little stunned. He had thought that it was some kind of special refining technique, but as heprehended the technique, Cheng Xu discovered that it was simr to the equipment strengthening system in the game. To put it simply, some rare refining materials were used to perform an operation called ¡®spirit infusion¡¯ on the existing magical equipment and weapons. Every sessful spirit infusion would improve the basic performance of the magical equipment or weapon by ten percent. Wasn¡¯t this the equipment strengthening system in the game? Realizing the simrity to the game, Cheng Xu pondered, ¡°The sess rate of spirit infusion for this Heavenly Treasure Refining Spell seems to be rted to the refining level, just like the medicinal technique mantra.¡± The Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique fell under the category of [Artifact Refining], just like the medicinal technique mantra. [Artifact Refining] [Equipment Refining Theory: Level 10] [Refining ability: Advanced] [Spirit Enhancement Technique: Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique (125mb)] He essed the operation panel of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique, finding it indeed simr to the strengthening interface in the game. Curious, Cheng Xu wondered, ¡°Can we use the remaining earth spirit from the previous upgrade?¡± With doubts in his mind, he retrieved the earth attribute flying sword from the set of five flying swords and ced it on the strengthening interface. Then, he took out a piece of earth spirit and positioned it below the flying sword. Instantly, a notification appeared before his eyes. It read, ¡°The sess rate of this spirit infusion is 100%. Do you wish to proceed with the spirit infusion?¡± There was no need to think about it. He would definitely bet! Without hesitation, Cheng Xu confirmed his choice. After confirmation, the flying sword and earth spirit were instantly enveloped in a ball of golden light, gradually transforming into a furnace-like shape. A progress bar appeared, indicating the infusion process. Compared to the progress bar for refining medicine, this one progressed much faster. Within a few seconds, another notification appeared before him. The golden light in the shape of the crafting furnace gradually dissipated and the earth spirit had long disappeared, leaving behind a shining flying sword adorned with golden patterns flowing round it. Cheng Xu picked up the sword and felt it. It was indeed stronger than before. Even the sensation of holding it was different. ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s a whopping +13 improvement!¡± he eximed in awe. However, just as Cheng Xu took out another piece of earth spirit to continue strengthening the flying sword, a notification unexpectedly appeared before him, catching his attention. ¡°1 see. The higher the level of strengthening, the more materials it consumes,¡± he mused, his mind drawing parallels with his gaming experience. Without wasting a moment, he hastily added another piece of earth spirit. Now, he could finally proceed with the spirit infusion. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s still 100%!¡± Cheng Xu eximed. ¡°Looks like all that reading of artifact refining manuals wasn¡¯t in vain.¡± The flying sword, having been sessfully injected with spirit twice, emanated a significantly enhanced aura. He continued the process, using three pieces of earth spirit essence to perform the third spirit infusion. However, this time, the sess rate was no longer 100%, instead it had dropped to 85%, a considerable decrease. ¡°It seems strengthening it to a high level won¡¯t be easy,¡± Cheng Xu remarked, noting the diminishing sess rates and a few failures along the way. Gradually, the 40 earth spirits were exhausted. The spirit infusion level of the earth-attributed flying sword ultimately settled at +5, with all its functions boosted by 50%. It had be an exceptional weapon. While others were still using unenhanced weapons, wielding a +5 weapon instilled a sense of advantage and superiority. Regrettably, there were no further strengthening materials avable. Cheng Xu yearned to strengthen all five flying swords if given the chance. ¡°Take your time. No need to rush,¡± he reminded himself. Little did he know that Yue Wanling was aware of the astonishing refining method possessed by the Scorching Sun Sect. Cheng Xu observed Yue Wanling and deduced that she, too, must be an aplished Armament Master, likely at a high level. ¡°Forget it. Why am I thinking about her? It¡¯s uncertain whether we¡¯ll meet again in the future,¡± Cheng Xu shrugged off his thoughts. He contentedly stored away the flying sword and retrieved the water-attribute flying sword that sealed Yuntai Zhenren. As soon as he brought it out, a plea for mercy from the Grand Cloud Master echoed from within the sword. ¡°Little friend, if you have any requests, spare my life.¡± ¡°Tell me, what is your connection to the ck Water Pce?¡± Cheng Xu inquired. ¡°Well¡­ It is true that this old man had indeed cultivated in the ck Water Mystic Pce for a period of time, but I couldn¡¯t stand the Demon Dao¡¯s customs. So, I fled from the Demon Dao and ended up in Mini Southern Heaven,¡± the Grand Cloud Master exined. Cheng Xu rolled his eyes at the response. ¡°Everything I said is true,¡± the Grand Cloud Master insisted. ¡°In that case, what about the sacred item of the ck Water Mystic Pce?¡± Cheng Xu pressed on. ¡°Uh, it¡¯s actually a kind of demonic object condensed from Yin Qi and Evil Qi. After refining it, one can increase their strength. It¡¯s said that refining it to a certain extent can grant an indestructible body,¡± the Grand Cloud Master revealed. Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but be astonished. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°By the way, what is the background of the ck Water Mystic Pce?¡± Cheng Xu continued his interrogation. ¡°It lies north of the Ancient Deste Demon Realm, in the Great Southern Wastnd,¡± the Grand Cloud Master answered. ¡°The Great Southern Wastnd? What kind of ce is it exactly?¡± Cheng Xu inquired, growing curious. ¡°Just Ike the Mini Southern Heaven, it is also a gathering ce for cultivators. However, it is muchrger than the Mini Southern Heaven and home to an equilibrium between the Righteous Dao, the Devil Dao, and a third faction, the Demon Race,¡± the Grand Cloud Master borated. ¡°Are the cultivators there more powerful than in Little Nantian?¡± Cheng Xu nodded, his curiosity piqued. ¡°Of course. After all, the spiritual energy concentration in the Great Southern Wastnd far exceeds that of Little Southern Heaven,¡± Yuntai Zhenren chimed in with a smile. ¡°As far as 1 know, cultivators in Little Southern Heaven usually seek ways to reach the Great Southern Wastnd after attaining the Transformation Core Realm.¡± ¡°Why is this the case?¡± Cheng Xu inquired further. ¡°Because, by the time they reach the Core Transformation stage, cultivating solely with the spiritual energy in Little Nantian bes exceedingly difficult,¡± Yuntai Zhenren exined. Cheng Xu nodded, now understanding why he had never heard of Transformation Realm experts in Little Nantian. It turned out that they had all ventured to the ¡°big cities¡± in the Great Southern Wastnd.. Chapter 45 - 45: Returning to Yuntai Mountain Chapter 45: Returning to Yuntai Mountain Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Observing Cheng Xu¡¯s evident interest in the vast Southern Wilderness, Master Yuntai took the initiative to speak, ¡°To bepletely honest, 1 happen to know a secure route that leads to the depths of the Southern Wastnd.¡± Cheng Xu responded with a smile, his skepticism preventing him from easily believing such ims. What a ridiculous proposition. What if this elderly spirit deceived him by leading him to a dead end? ¡°Is the Blood Demon Church also rooted in the Great Southern Wastnd?¡± Cheng Xu continued his inquiry. ¡°Yes, but not entirely,¡± Master Yuntai replied. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°As far as my knowledge extends, the Blood Demon Cult appears to have expanded from their initial cultivation grounds located farther north into the Great Southern Wilderness. Their background is likely not insignificant.¡± ¡°There¡¯s an evenrger cultivation ground to the north of the Great Southern Wilderness?¡± Cheng Xu was taken aback. ¡°Yes, it is said to be a ce teeming with abundant spiritual energy. However, I, an old man, have only heard rumors about it and never set foot there.¡± Cheng Xu nodded, getting straight to the point. ¡°Then, shouldn¡¯t you disclose your familial background now?¡± *Cough cough*¡­ This old man¡¯s family has long been lost, just like my physical form. What family do 1 have left to reveal?¡± Master Yuntai responded. ¡°You won¡¯t tell me, will you?¡± Cheng Xu activated his Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye and directed a mental assault at the flying sword. Master Yuntai let out a scream from within the flying sword. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, 1¡¯11 tell you!¡± Yuntai Zhenren hurriedly spoke up, obediently exining, ¡°In reality, 1 do possess some hidden assets within the Immortal Mansion of Yuntai Mountain. If you are interested, 1 can bestow it all upon you. Just spare my life.¡± ¡°Tsk, why didn¡¯t you mention this earlier?¡± Cheng Xu sneered, retracting his flying sword, contemting his departure for Grand Cloud Mountain the following day. Late into the night, he spent his time cultivating the Crimson Brilliant Mystic Scripture. ¡°Oh, by the way, have you refined the form for the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill?¡± Cheng Xu opened the [Medicine Refinement) section and checked. The optimization had indeed beenpleted, reaching the peak of medicinal refinement. The good news was that the Marrow Changing Flower had been sessfully optimized. However, the bad news was that it had been reced by a rare material called Dragon Bone Grass. Although the Dragon Bone Grass hadn¡¯tpletely vanished, it was on the brink of extinction, resulting in exorbitant prices. ¡°It¡¯s fine. At least there¡¯s still a chance to refine it.¡± On the bright side, the cost of the other ingredients had been significantly reduced. Having finished the task, Cheng Xu began cultivating peacefully. The activation of his Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye noticeably elerated his cultivation. As his mental power was consumed, traces of spiritual qi seeped into the vacant space outside his sea of consciousness. They flowed through his meridians, transforming into spiritual qi as his cultivation technique circted, ultimately streaming into his sea of qi. A night of cultivation was equivalent to an entire day¡¯s worth. Early the next morning, as Cheng Xu stepped out of his cave dwelling, he encountered his junior brother, Miao Changsheng, who had recently achieved the Foundation Establishment realm. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re finally out!¡± Miao Changsheng eximed with excitement, showcasing his cultivation progress. ¡°Congrattions on reaching Foundation Establishment,¡± Cheng Xu congratted him. Miao Changsheng nodded, gratified. ¡°I¡¯m heading to the library cave. Would you like to join me, Senior Brother?¡± ¡°I still have some matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll pass for now.¡± Politely declining, Cheng Xu turned around and made his way to his master Perfected Yuntai¡¯s cave. Upon entering, Cheng Xu overheard the conversation between Yuntai Zhenren and Martial Uncle Ma. ¡°Dear Second Senior Brother, oh, my dearest Second Senior Brother, you really spent a copious amount of spirit stones to acquire these ostentatious trinkets?¡± Senior Master Ma¡¯s voice resonated with a mix of helplessness and resentment. ¡°If I had foreseen this, i would never have allowed Senior Brother to attend the Magical Equipment Exposition.¡± ¡°How can you speak to your Senior Brother in such a manner? What¡¯s wrong with me making a purchase?¡± He retorted, continuing, ¡°I exchanged these spirit stones using my hard-earned merit points, not a single coin of yours,¡± Yuntai Zhenren scoffed. ¡°Yes, Senior Brother, you didn¡¯t use my money. But can¡¯t you exchange for such an enormous number of spirit stones all at once?¡± Martial Uncle Ma questioned. ¡°Can¡¯t i convert my well-deserved merit points into some spirit stones?¡± ¡°Of course you can, but couldn¡¯t you do it gradually? You exchanged an overwhelming amount of spirit stones all at once. The sect¡¯s supply of spirit stones is nearly depleted.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be true, can it? You can¡¯t possibly be running out of funds just like that, right? Tell Senior Brother the truth, did you ept bribes?¡± Daoist Master Yuntai inquired with confusion. ¡°¡­!¡± Martial Uncle Ma eximed in disagreement, feeling wronged. ¡°Don¡¯t you know the kind of person Junior Brother Wu is?¡± ¡°Then why is it so dire?¡± ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t we in the same boat already? Last time, in order to ensure the safety of the children¡¯s experiential learning, the sect leader utilized more than half of the sect¡¯s financial resources in one go. Originally, the remaining spirit stones could have sustained a stable turnover, but now, with your actions, they have been frozen directly.¡± Yuntai Zhenren finallyprehended the situation. ¡°Alright, 1 still have plenty of spirit stones in my possession. You can take them for now.¡± ¡°Alright, i¡¯ll convert them into contribution points for Senior Brotherter.¡± Only then did Martial Uncle Ma heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Once the production of the Foundation Establishment Pill increases, the sect¡¯s capital turnover should slow down.¡± When Cheng Xu entered, he coincidentally encountered Martial Uncle Ma, who was sighing as he left. Observing the contribution points on his identity card, Cheng Xu seemed to grasp something. Previously, he had assumed that merit points could be effortlessly exchanged for an abundance of spirit stones. Now, it appeared that he had oversimplified matters. The sect¡¯s merit points resembled a distinct form of ¡°bond¡± within the sect. Under normal circumstances, they could be redeemed without issues. However, when the sect encountered a financial crisis, cashing them out became far moreplicated. It seemed that in the future, it would be wiser to directly acquire spirit stones. ¡°Little Cheng, what brings you here?¡± His master, Yuntai Zhenren, gazed at a heap of magic treasures that held little value. Upon seeing Cheng Xu enter, a tinge of regret flickered in his eyes. ¡°Disciple is preparing to venture out and hunt a few demonic beasts. 1 came to inform Master so that you wouldn¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Hunting demonic beasts?¡± Yuntai Zhenren didn¡¯t dwell on it too much. ¡°Engaging in actualbat is beneficial. Just be cautious.¡± ¡°Disciple will remember.¡± After bidding farewell to his master, Cheng Xu departed from the Medicine Celestial Valley on his trusty flying sword. Two dayster, they arrived sessfully at Grand Cloud Mountain. Returning to Grand Cloud Mountain once more evoked mixed emotions within him. With the downfall of Yuntai Zhenren, the Grand Cloud Mountain market had be a mere facade. The lively market that once thrived had vanished without a trace. The once opulent immortal mansion belonging to Yuntai Zhenren atop the mountain peaky in ruins. From a distance, one could still observe itinerant cultivators scouring the remains of the market, searching for treasures. ¡°Hiss- 1 arrived toote!¡± Gazing upon the dpidated state of the Grand Cloud Mountain market, Cheng Xu inwardlymented. He certainly wasn¡¯t the sole individual who coveted Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s wealth. Following the news of his demise, the Grand Cloud Mountain had been thoroughly ransacked. ¡°Damn it, I only just died a few days ago, and my abode has already been razed to the ground?¡± The virtual image of the Grand Cloud Immortal within the flying sword couldn¡¯t help but curse. Cheng Xu sighed, intending to erase any remnants of Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s existence. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you are no longer of any value.¡± ¡°Wait a moment, young friend. 1 can sense that my true ancestral heritage might still remain,¡± Yuntai Zhenren urgently interjected. ¡°With the state the mansion is in, how can anything possibly remain?¡± Cheng Xu harbored doubts. ¡°Naturally, we wouldn¡¯t store truly valuable items within the immortal mansion,¡± Yuntai Zhenren exined with a wry smile. ¡°To be honest, I possess a highly concealed treasure chamber within the immortal mansion. Cultivators below the middle stage of the Jindan realm wouldn¡¯t be able to locate it at all.¡± ¡°Fascinating.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s spirits lifted. ¡°Zhilu, don¡¯t y any tricks!¡± ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Under Immortal Yuntai¡¯s guidance, they arrived at a cliff situated behind the Immortal Mansion. The cliff appeared smooth and steep, seemingly unremarkable at first nce. However, as Yuntai Zhenren led the way and cleared away a few weeds from the cliff, its true form gradually unveiled. ¡°You cunning old man, quite the artful dodger!¡± Cheng Xu yfully remarked as a secret passageway materialized on the cliff.. Chapter 46 - 46: Demonic Infant Chapter 46: Demonic Infant Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion After venturing into the concealed passageway, he meticulously rearranged several des of grass, meticulously restoring them to their original state. The hidden passage extended far beneath the ground, exhibiting abyrinthine and intricately designed structure. As they delved deeper, its dimensions expanded, growing wider with each step they took. The illusion of attaining the coveted treasure tantalized his mind, but fate had different ns, and an unforeseen incident unfolded before him. Shortly after their descent, Cheng Xu¡¯s extraordinary spiritual senses alerted him to the presence of other individuals lurking in the depths of the secret passage. Discerning their auras, he deduced that they were two cultivators at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Reacting swiftly, Cheng Xu suppressed his breath and concealed himself with utmost caution. Engaging in telepathicmunication with Yuntai Zhenren, who resided within the flying sword, he inquired, ¡°What is happening? Didn¡¯t you assure me that no one knew about your treasure vault?¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s response came with a tinge of embarrassment, ¡°It appears to be my two trusted aides. Curse them, I had nearly forgotten about those ungrateful wretches.¡± Wearing a perplexed expression, Cheng Xu furrowed his brows and posed another query, ¡°How formidable are these two individuals?¡± ¡°Their strength was once highly regarded by this old master. Considering the profits they umted over the years in the market, their power is likely on par with inner sect disciples of prominent sects,¡± Yuntai Zhenren exined with a hint of pride. Perplexed by the situation, Cheng Xu wondered aloud, ¡°If they were aware of this ce, why did they not immediately seize your family¡¯s possessions?¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s voice swelled with smugness, ¡°Although those two wretched scoundrels were aware of the existence of this treasure vault, they remained oblivious to its method of ess.¡± Acknowledging Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s exnation, Cheng Xu nodded thoughtfully and cautiously maneuvered through the passageway. He employed the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye to stealthily observe the situation. The two figures before him stood tall and slender, their attire confirming their association with the stewards from the Grand Cloud Mountain market. As Yuntai Zhenren had described, the duo found themselves thwarted by the door to the treasure vault, their futile attempts to forcefully breach the barrier betraying their limited strength. ¡°Frustrating! Why did that old man craft such a formidable restriction?¡± one of them grumbled resentfully. ¡°Indeed! He¡¯s already deceased. Can¡¯t he simply allow us to inherit the legacy in peace?¡± the other chimed in, voicing his discontent. Their curses andints apanied their relentless assault on the barrier, but their feeble strength proved insufficient to ovee it. Enraged by their insolence, Yuntai Zhenren, confined within the flying sword,shed out, ¡°You two ungrateful curs! Release me and grant me the opportunity to discipline these ingrates!¡± Cheng Xu sneered at Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s proposition, ¡°And what would you aplish with your current strength?¡± Yuntai Zhenren, somewhat embarrassed, muttered, ¡°¡­They cannot perceive my ethereal spirit form. Their divine senses arecking your extraordinary capabilities. Handling one of them should not pose a problem. 1 shall leave the other to you.¡± ¡°Never mind. 1 shall handle it myself,¡± Cheng Xu responded calmly. He was wary of potential trickery from the old man. ¡°All, but these two ingrates possess considerable talent, both being at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Can you handle them alone, my young friend?¡± Yuntai Zhenren inquired, his doubt evident. Cheng Xu responded with a smile but opted to remain silent. ¡°Please, young friend, grant me freedom. Eventually, 1 must personally unlock the doors to the treasure vault. It is merely a matter of time,¡± Yuntai Zhenren persisted, seeking Cheng Xu¡¯s assistance. Disinterested in indulging him further, Cheng Xu dismissed Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s request. Instead, he silently absorbed the information he gleaned from the two cultivators and swiftly executed the Cloud Steps technique,unching an ethereal assault on them. The two individuals, previously grumbling and unaware of their impending doom, were abruptly jolted into alertness. Their instinctual reflex to activate defensive skills was thwarted, freezing them in ce. Their eyes met Cheng Xu¡¯s gaze, resembling deep abysses. Swoosh! Swoosh! From the left and right, two flying swords named Fire and Wood were unleashed. Empowered by the techniques of the Cloud Sword, their swordsmanship effortlessly severed the heads of the unsuspecting cultivators. The unfortunate duo perished withoutprehending the manner of their demise. ¡°By the heavens! You dispatched two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators in an instant. Your strength, young friend, is simply astonishing!¡± Yuntai Zhenren silently marveled, left speechless by the spectacle. ¡°In my estimation, you are not inferior to the prodigies of the four great sects.¡± ¡°Enough with the ttery!¡± Cheng Xu repliedposedly. He proceeded to search the corpses of the fallen cultivators before shifting his gaze toward the door of the treasure vault. ¡°Now, tell me, how do we bypass the restriction on this door?¡± ¡°I alone possess the means,¡± Yuntai Zhenren confessed, prompting Cheng Xu to aim his Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye directly at the flying sword imprisoning the elder. Yuntai Zhenren writhed in agony, tormented by the spiritual impact, yet he clung to his resolve and refused to release his grip. ¡°Hey, hey¡­This venerable old man is not uttering falsehoods. This intricately woven restriction is indeed my unique creation. It bears the imprint of my Soul Consciousness, which exclusively recognizes and responds to my own Soul Consciousness. If any others attempt to unravel its secrets, their only recourse is to forcefully prate its formidable defenses.¡± Deep in contemtion, Cheng Xu deliberated for a considerable duration, mustering his resolve before advancing towards the enigmatic enigma. Upon closer examination, he discerned an undeniable vestige of the Soul Consciousness embedded within thebyrinthine structure of the restriction. He endeavored to infiltrate the system through hacking, yet met with naught but silence. Evidently, the cultivationputer proved impotent in breaching the distinctiveness of this particr restriction. Consequently, the sole recourse avable was to surmount this formidable barrier through sheer force. ¡°Those two individuals have tirelessly assailed it for several days now. Surely, there must exist a glimmer of opportunity.¡± Cheng Xu ruminated briefly before summoning his exceptional +5 flying sword, infused with the elemental power of the earth, and unleashed a relentless barrage against the impregnable confines of the treasure vault¡¯s restriction. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! There was no disputing the prodigious might of the Spirit Infused +5 flying sword, and yet, the restriction left behind by the venerable Master Yuntai proved even more pernicious and unyielding. Cheng Xu¡¯s primordial essence had been depleted on five separate asions, and yet the restriction exhibited no discernible signs of sumbing to his assault. s, there existed no other recourse. The Grand Cloud Daoist Master, being an expert in theter stages of the Jindan realm, had left behind a prohibition that was naturally beyond the reach of Cheng Xu, an early-stage Foundation Building cultivator, to easily ovee. ¡°s, my ineffectual friend, had you possessed the strength befitting the pinnacle of the foundation establishment stage, perhaps you might have stood a chance.¡± Yuntai Zhenren quipped with a sardonic smile. ¡°Why not simply release me? Would that not resolve the predicament?¡± ¡°In any event, this old man cannot overpower you. Since you have managed to seal me once, you can undoubtedly seal me again. Where lies the cause for concern?¡± the ancient sage further remarked, adopting a benign countenance. Cheng Xu resorted to consuming an elixir in order to replenish his vital essence, ultimately sumbing to the realization that his sole recourse was to liberate Yuntai Zhenren from the confines of the flying sword. Emerging from the confines of the flying sword, the ethereal projection of the Grand Cloud Immortal regained its vibrancy. It promptly affixed itself to the headless body of a hapless cadaver and awkwardly made its way towards the entrance of the treasure house. ¡°Fret not, young friend. The matter shall soon be resolved,¡± assured Yuntai Zhenren, feigning an air of utmostpliance. However, Cheng Xu remained unconvinced. Silently, he prepared the Tier 2 formation disk and Tier 3 talisman that he had received as rewards from a prior joint experiential learning, fully aware of the need to be prepared for any eventuality. While it would be ideal for this elderly miscreant to behave himself, Cheng Xu held no reservations about employing force if the situation warranted. Crack! Crack! Crack! Under the deft maniption of the Yuntai Spiritual Master, the restrictive barriers of the treasure house emitted a symphony of unlocking sounds, gradually relinquishing their hold. A momentter, the heavy doors of the treasury began to creak open, revealing its hidden treasures. ¡°I apologize, young friend, but your physique appears most suitable. This decrepit individual covets it!¡± eximed the spectral form of Yuntai Spiritual Master as it swiftly disengaged from the headless cadaver, soaring forth with an eerie smile into the treasure house. Cheng Xu¡¯s countenance darkened. Instead of rushing headlong, he opted to extend his divine sense into the chamber, carefully observing the developments within. True to its nature, the treasure vault proved to be an unparalleled repository of riches. However, this fact paled in significancepared to the focal point of interest¡ªa pool enshrouded in a dense veil of ck qi at the heart of the chamber. The pool brimmed with a viscous, ebony substance, while at its center rested a ckened mass resembling a malformed infant. As the shadowy essence of Yuntai Zhenren insinuated itself into this grotesque formation, the malformed mass gradually elongated and transformed into a towering, malevolent ck baby, enveloped in an aura of demonic qi. ¡°Hehehe,¡± Yuntai Zhenren boisterously chuckled at the newly materialized figure, ¡°I, the possessed Yuntai Demonic Neonate, shall relish in your imminent demise, you petty thief!¡± Having made his promation, the Yuntai Demonic Neonate promptly exited the treasure vault, shrouded in a malevolent aura. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu swiftly employed the power of his Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye to swiftly peruse the ancient being¡¯s information. [Demon Baby] [Cultivation: Peak Foundation Establishment] [Cultivation Technique: Demonic Neonate Body Forging Technique] [Martial Arts Techniques: Demonic Infant Scream, Evil Qi Seal, Demon Blood Countercurrent¡­] Initially anticipating a formidable adversary, Cheng Xu was taken aback by the realization that this so-called demon baby merely upied the peak of the foundation establishment stage. The rapidity with which the information was assimted suddenly made sense. Observing Cheng Xu¡¯s calmposure and resolute stance, the Yuntai Demonic Neonate couldn¡¯t help but express his surprise.. ¡°How intriguing! Do you honestly believe that with your meager strength at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm, you can vanquish this meticulously nurtured demon baby?¡± Chapter 47 - 47: Killing Chapter 47: Killing Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Cheng Xu¡¯s undivided attention was fixated on the strange manifestation of Master Yuntai¡¯s demonic baby. While he had never encountered an authentic Nascent Soul before, the appearance of this Demonic Nascent Soul bore a semnce to the descriptions he had encountered in cultivation novels during his previous life. A suspicion arose within him, questioning the existence of true Nascent Soul cultivators in this world. ¡°Senior, have you evere across the concept of the Nascent Soul realm?¡± Cheng Xu inquired tentatively. ¡°What Nascent Soul? This here is the Demon Soul that I have meticulously nurtured over the years,¡± replied Yuntai Zhenren, clearly unfamiliar with the term Nascent Soul. His focus remained steadfast on discerning the power contained within the demonic baby. ¡°Unfortunately, I have only cultivated it to the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and I must make use of it. Nheless, it does not matter. Once I possess a suitable vessel, I shall swiftly ascend to the Golden Elixir Realm!¡± Observing the senior¡¯sck of knowledge regarding the Nascent Soul, Cheng Xu¡¯s interest waned in an instant. ¡°Peak Foundation Establishment, is it?¡± Cheng Xu sneered inwardly. The Tier 2 array disc bestowed upon him by Shenluo Hall gradually emerged from his person, its surface adorned with intricate blue patterns, ultimately enveloping him in a protectiveyer of shimmering array light. This formation, known as the Storm Array, stood among the most advanced second-tier array formations. It boasted the capability to withstand assaults from cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, making it an ideal choice to confront the demonic baby before him. ¡°Storm Array?!¡± Master Yuntai expressed mild surprise before sneering, ¡°No wonder you remain soposed. Regrettably, you are utterly oblivious to the might of this demonic baby.¡± With those words, he raised the small ck fist of the Demonic Neonate and delivered a forceful blow against the defensive array¡¯s luminous barrier. The sheer impact generated caused the formation te to quake violently, exposing its fragility. Evidently, it was incapable of enduring the assault for an extended duration. ¡°What immense strength!¡± Cheng Xu eximed, taken aback by the overwhelming might possessed by this demonic baby, surpassing even his wildest expectations. Although the demonic baby was a mere peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, it had already traversed half the threshold into the Golden Core stage. Naturally, Cheng Xu refused to remain passive and resign to his fate. The Tier 3 Purgatory Array disc acquired from his previous ventures gradually levitated, weaving a crimson barrier of mes around the defensive light of the Storm Array, ensnaring the Demonic Neonate within its fiery embrace. Assisted by the cultivationputer, Cheng Xu possessed the ability to manipte two array discs concurrently. The potency of the Tier 3 Purgatory Fire Array was beyond question. However, it saddened him that his current cultivation level prevented him from fully unleashing the array disc¡¯s true might. Furthermore, to establish arge-scale formation akin to the one in Huai City, the formation te required pre-set spirit stones. Yet, for dealing with a singr adversary at present, the formation te alone would suffice. ¡°The Tier 3 Purgatory Fire Array?¡± Yuntai Zhenren expressed slight surprise. ¡°Can you multitask?¡± he questioned, pondering whether Cheng Xu had cultivated a form of spiritual will cultivation technique. Simultaneously, zing fireballs had already hurtled towards the Grand Cloud Master. ¡°Old man, your demise is imminent!¡± Cheng Xu retorted, his voiceced with disdain. He swiftly propelled a Spirit Infused +5 Earth Attribute Flying Sword, taking direct aim at the Demonic Neonate¡¯s countenance. Employing the Inferno Hell Fire Array¡¯s defensive stance, Yuntai Zhenren crossed his arms before him, evidently not regarding the flying sword assault with much concern. Bang! The flying sword effortlessly pierced through the demonic Qi barrier shielding the Demonic Neonate, propelling her forcefully against the treasure vault¡¯s wall. ¡°What manner of sword is this¡­¡± Yuntai Zhenren gazed at the wound on his arm, perplexed. The inky gash healed at a discernible pace. Cheng Xu furrowed his brow, taken aback by the development. He hastilymanded his flying sword to pursue the target. Boom! Boom! Boom! Within the Purgatory Fire Array, raging fireballs persisted in bombarding Yuntai Spiritual Master. ¡°Demonic Blood Countercurrent!¡± The Grand Cloud Immortal snarled, causing the demonic baby¡¯s body to sprout ck veins, akin to countless wriggling worms coursing through its whole being. Activated with Demonic Blood Countercurrent, the Demonic Neonate surged forth with explosive momentum, deflecting the flying sword off its intended trajectory. Cheng Xu was astonished. Simultaneously, the Fire and Wood flying swords were dispatched, propelled by the relentless sword momentum of the Cloud Sword Technique. They ensnared the demonic baby from the left and right, attempting to forcefully disrupt the cirction of the [Demon Blood Countercurrent]. Boom! Boom! Boom! Undeterred, the Demonic Neonate¡¯s aura shone brilliantly, effortlessly warding off the attacksunched by the two flying swords. ¡°Not bad, not bad. I¡¯m growing fond of your physical vessel, Little Friend!¡± Yuntai Zhenren chortled maniacally as he repelled the two flying swords. Yet, in the subsequent moment, he abruptly froze in ce, witnessing the rapid dissipation of the reverse flow effect inflicted by the demon blood. ¡°What has urred?¡± Yuntai Zhenren was seized by shock. He sought to activate Devil Blood Countercurrent once more, only to be thwarted by the infernal mes of the Purgatory Fire Array. In a desperate moment, the peculiar power surged within Cheng Xu¡¯s body once again, and he unleashed a forceful palm strike, leaving behind a distinct ck palm print on the lightyer of the Storm Array, his expression ferocious. Boom! The palm print¡¯s impact caused the Storm Array to crumble instantaneously. Just as Yuntai Zhenren was on the verge of subduing Cheng Xu, a familiar ancient seal character abruptly materialized above Cheng Xu¡¯s head. ¡°Qi!¡± Cheng Xu, having absorbed the knowledge from every book in the Medicine Immortal Valley, had undergone a transformative change. ¡°This is¡­ the Truth Spell from Perfected Yuntai?¡± Yuntai Zhenren eximed, retreating in panic after witnessing the might of the true words of medicine. However, he couldn¡¯t escape the influence of the true words of Qi. His internal energy immediately fell into disarray, and he groaned as he expelled a mouthful of ck blood, his countenance twisting into a ferocious and maniacal visage. ¡°Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! 1 never expected you to master this mantra spell. Soon, this mantra spell will be mine!¡± Cheng Xu dered, wasting no further time on conversation. He promptly followed up with another venomous mantra. While the Poison Mantra¡¯s medicinal potency may not have matched that of the Qi Mantra, its poison effect proved more lethal than its aura. Unfortunately, the poison seemed to have no effect on the Demonic Neonate. ¡°Oh- So, you even know the other mantra. Regrettably, the poison holds no power against my demonic baby!¡± Master Yuntaiughedcently, transforming into a billowing cloud of ck mist, hurtling towards Cheng Xu. Whoosh! Whoosh! In the crucial moment, Cheng Xu employed his Poison Ivy Technique, weaving a barrier of entangling vines to obstruct the enemy. The two fiery and wooden flying swords encircled the adversary from both sides, as Cheng Xu covertly prepared to ¡°end the process¡±. When he forcefully terminated the [Demon Blood Countercurrent] earlier, it had already strained the system to its limits. Additionally, he still needed to control the array disc and the flying sword. Employing [End Operation] once again had reached the maximum threshold. ¡°A mantis trying to halt a chariot!¡± Yuntai Zhenren mocked, effortlessly shattering the rattan wall with augh, striking the two flying swords embedded in the walls on either side. ¡°Experience the torment of your quivering soul!¡± Yuntai Zhenren abruptly opened the immense maw of the Demonic Neonate, emitting a hoarse and ear-piercing dragon¡¯s roar. However, there was no discernible change or reaction. ¡°Hmm?¡± Yuntai Zhenren stood dumbfounded. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Could there be a w in the cultivation process?¡± Amidst his amusement, Cheng Xu chuckled inwardly. The White me True Spell surged forth with radiant swordlight, merging with the mes of the Purgatory Fire Array, ultimately engulfing the demonic baby in its entirety. Master Yuntai shrieked in agony as he burned, the flying sword embedded in his shoulder injecting a + 5 spirit essence. ¡°Damn it, what went wrong?¡± Yuntai Zhenren dashed out of the sea of fire in a frenzy,pletely oblivious to the events that had transpired. Immediately afterward, the ck liquid from the treasure vault¡¯s pool soared through the air, integrating into the Demonic Neonate¡¯s body. After assimting the ck liquid, the demonic baby¡¯s aura surged once again, and enormous ck tentacles sprouted from its back, resembling a grotesque ck octopus. The sheer terror emanating from its aura instantly shattered the formation! Before Cheng Xu couldprehend the situation, the demonic baby¡¯s tentaclesshed out at him with incredible speed. Trapped within the cramped confines of the cave, there was no escape for Cheng Xu. He could only rely on his Ster Energy Shield to resist the assault. Boom! His Protective Upstanding Qi shattered, and Cheng Xu was mercilessly flung into the wall behind him. His ribs fractured, and he coughed up blood. Fortunately, he was in possession of the treasured armor of the Scorching Sun Sect, which offered him some protection. ¡°Hehehe, though a small mishap urred, it is inconsequential. You are now unavoidably a part of me!¡± Yuntai Zhenren extended his tentacles, a twisted smile on his face. In the critical moment, Cheng Xu¡¯s gaze suddenly lifted, and the gaze of his Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye met the eyes of the Demonic Neonate. For a moment, the hardware of the entire cultivation apparatus overloaded, the brain and eyeballs overheating. The frame rate before him plummeted rapidly, but it didn¡¯t drop as low as single-digit frames likest time. Yuntai Zhenren, who was chuckling eerily, found himself momentarily dazed. Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Xu activated the third-grade talisman he had prepared in advance. The talisman paper soared with a radiant golden light, transforming into a three-inch-long spike that sliced through the air and hurtled towards the Demonic Neonate¡¯s head. The Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye couldn¡¯t maintain control over Yuntai Zhenren for long. Unfortunately, by the time he snapped out of his stupor, the golden luminescence of the talisman spike was already perilously close. ¡°A rank three talisman¡­¡± Yuntai Zhenren widened his eyes in horror. In the next second, the Demonic Neonate¡¯s head was impaled by the golden light, exploding into ck mucus. The colossal tentacles on its back swiftly retracted. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to underestimate the situation like before. The Spirit Infused +5 flying sword swiftly followed, piercing through the chest of the demonic baby. Utilizing the flying sword as the focal point, he invoked the White me True Spell, igniting a furious congration of white mes. Only when the Demonic Neonate had been reduced to ashes by the all-consuming ze did Cheng Xu finally exhale a sigh of relief. ¡°It seems the Mystic Arts Sect didn¡¯t deceive me with this third-tier talisman.¡± Cheng Xu smiled wryly as he stowed away the talisman. He retrieved several healing pills and began recuperating on the spot. With the assistance of the Crimson Brilliance Mysterious Scripture and the healing pills, his injuries gradually improved. However, his fractured ribs continued to shift, far from fully healed.. Chapter 48 - 48: Strange Matter Chapter 48: Strange Matter Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Enduring the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Cheng Xu mustered every ounce of strength to stand upright, gingerly collecting the shattered formation te fragments scattered across the ground. A profound sense of disappointment washed over him, like a heavy cloud casting a shadow over his hopes. Both sets of array disks he had painstakingly acquired were now riddled with unsightly cracks, their intricate patterns marred by the devastating impact. To make matters worse, the majority of array needlesy broken, their delicate structures irreparably damaged. In their current state, they were rendered utterly useless. Thankfully, the two flying swords he had invested in remained unscathed, resilient to the chaos that unfolded around them. It was a testament to the adage that qualityes at a price, for these flying swords, procured at considerable expense, indeed possessed exceptional durability. Taking sce in their intact condition, Cheng Xu carefully secured the flying swords, ensuring their protection as he prepared himself to venture further into the depths of Yuntai Spiritual Master¡¯s secret treasure chamber, the spoils of his hard-fought battle awaiting his im. Amidst the charred remnants of the Demonic Neonate, an objectying on the ground caught his attention¡ªa small ball of peculiar ck mucus, its size norger than a palm, emanating an enigmatic energy fluctuation. His eyes widened with intrigue. ¡°This¡­ Could it be the elusive ck sticky substance that caused such strife among the demonic cultivators of the ck Water Mystic Pce?¡± No, that¡¯s not right. This mass of mucus before me is distinctively different from the one snatched by the demonic cultivators earlier. It appears to be even more refined.¡± A moment of reflection dismissed that assumption. The mass of mucus before him was distinctively different from the one fervently fought over by the demonic cultivators. Itsposition appeared even more refined, possessing an air of mystery that piqued Cheng Xu¡¯s curiosity. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he cautiously approached the enigmatic mucus, intent on closer inspection. As he drew near, a surge of irresistible yearning surged forth from his very being, as if every cell within his body craved the touch of the ck mucus, beckoning him closer. Its allure proved impossible to resist. Before Cheng Xu could fullyprehend the situation, his hand, seemingly guided by an unseen force, made contact with the enigmatic mucus. In an instant, the peculiar ck substance flowed seamlessly through his fingertips, prating his body with an otherworldly grace. ¡°?!¡± The sensation that followed was nothing short of astounding. An intense surge of power coursed through his veins at an rming pace, permeating every fiber of his being. A profound sense offort enveloped him, apanied by a rapid healing of his injuries and fractured ribs. It was as if the mucus possessed an innate ability to rejuvenate and restore. ¡°What kind of sacred artifact does the ck Water Mystic Pce possess?¡± Cheng Xu muttered in awe, his gaze fixed upon his revitalized body. ¡°How can it bestow such mystical power?¡± Staring at himself in disbelief, Cheng Xu slowly realized that the mucus had not brought harm but had gifted him with immeasurable strength instead. A wave of relief washed over him, recing his initial apprehension with a newfound sense of empowerment. Buoyed by this unexpected turn of events, Cheng Xu strode forward into the treasure vault, his eyes widening in awe as they beheld the sheer abundance of richesid out before him. Excitement coursed through his veins, for he had be living proof that the age-old adage held true: Wealth truly reveals itself in times of danger. As a seasoned cultivator at thete-stage Jindan Stage, havingmanded a prominent position in the market for countless years, Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s unparalleled wealth now seemed within Cheng Xu¡¯s reach, fueling his ambitions and propelling him further on his path of prosperity. Regrettably, this treasure vault represented merely the core portion of Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s familial possessions, as the family estate of the Immortal Mansion had been utterly stripped bare by thieves. Within the treasury, an abundance of rare treasures and precious materials awaited discovery. Furthermore, therey a plethora of priceless books. ¡°I never anticipated that old man Yuntai would be such a devoted schr. He possesses a vast array of formations, talismans, and profoundly insightful texts.¡± ¡°All, incredible! There are even ancient tomes on the theories of martial arts and spells. What a tremendous windfall!¡± The more Cheng Xu delved into the collection, the greater his excitement swelled. Without pause, he diligently read and integrated these manuals of secret techniques, causing the cultivationputer¡¯s database to undergo a substantial augmentation. [Medicine Refining (104 megabytes)] [Equipment Refining (537.5 megabytes)] [Enchanted Talisman (91.3 megabytes)] [Formation (102.9 megabytes)] [Misceneous Studies Encyclopedia (88.5 megabytes)] However, this was not the crux of the matter. The true essencey in the fact that upon integrating a few volumes on martial arts theory, the [Martial Arts] data expanded exponentially: [Martial Arts (281.8 megabytes)] [Martial Arts Theory: Advanced] [Spell Theory: Intermediate] The most significant transformation manifested in the avability of the [optimization] option for certain martial arts techniques. s, only a handful of lower-level martial arts techniques were presently eligible for optimization: Tiger Subduing Fist, Setting Sun Finger, Protective Dipper Energy, and Flowing Cloud Steps. Each of these martial arts and spells had been acquired by Cheng Xu prior to his entry into the Medicine Celestial Valley. Strictly speaking, they did not belong to the realm of immortal cultivation techniques but rather resembled unrivaled martial arts at the level of secr world warriors. The Tiger Subduing Fist and Sunlight Finger had be rarely utilized by Cheng Xu, while his reliance on Protective Upstanding Qi and Flowing Cloud Steps had grown stronger. To start, he decided to enhance the Tiger Subduing Fist and Setting Sun Finger. The progress bar for optimization remained within an eptable range, taking no more than two hours. ¡°It seems 1 need to amass more profound martial arts knowledge in the future.¡± In his estimation, it was not that the other skills were incapable of optimization but rather that his current understanding of martial arts and spell theories fell short. As he awaited thepletion of the optimization process, he continued his search. ¡°Hiss¡­ What is this? A method for refining and nurturing a demonic infant?¡± Examining the malevolent refining technique in his grasp, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow. Upon the rough and ancient scroll made of demon beast skin, a plethora of peculiar diagrams and inscriptions adorned its surface. Reading through them filled Cheng Xu with a profound sense of revulsion. Four prominent words were inscribed on the scroll: Outrageous to the extreme. ¡°Old man, you didn¡¯t perish in vain.¡± Silently, Cheng Xu stowed away the leather scroll, realizing that it might prove useful in the future. He then continued to scour the treasure vault, his smile growing wider and wider. ¡°Haha! I had been wracking my brain over where to procure Dragon Bone Grass, and here it is, right before my eyes.¡± With great delight, he carefully stowed away the jade box containing the three precious stalks of Dragon Bone Grass, and then his gaze fell upon the other box. As he opened the box, Cheng Xu¡¯s breath hitched in anticipation. Within the boxy a heap of dark golden sand¡ªnone other than the coveted Gilded Sand, a requisite for expanding internal storage by three liters! Without a second thought, Cheng Xu promptly upgraded his memory to level four. In an instant, the original 512MB of operating memory skyrocketed to 1MB. His cognitive abilities soared to unimaginable heights. Throughout his youth, Cheng Xu had been an average student, but now, for the first time, he realized the immense value of his own brain. Eagerly, he continued to unlock the treasure box. One after another, he unearthed several rare materials, prompting yet another exmation to escape his lips. ¡°By the heavens, this old codger even possessed Earth Core Spiritual Milk!¡± The Earth Core Spiritual Milk, originally intended for nurturing the Demonic Neonate, was now at Cheng Xu¡¯s disposal. Since he had no intentions of cultivating the demonic entity, he promptly utilized the Earth Core Spiritual Milk to upgrade his CPU to level four, resulting in a significant enhancement of his divine sense. The previous dual-core 1.6GB transformed into a powerful dual-core 3.2GB, visibly amplifying the overall performance of his cultivation system. Next, Cheng Xu stumbled upon a piece of supple, dark red wood nestled in the adjacent box. ¡°Could this be¡­ Bloodsoul Wood?¡± Cheng Xu was simultaneously astonished and ted. ¡°Truly befitting of an esteemed Golden Core cultivator! To possess such a rare and extinct treasure!¡± Indeed, the Bloodsoul Wood served as the vital ingredient for refining the coveted [Substitute Xiaobao]. Ever since Cheng Xu had discovered the method to refine the Substitute Xiaobao within the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s library, he had been gued by the predicament of acquiring Bloodsoul Wood. But now, with this remarkable find, he couldmence preparations to forge the substitute for Xiao Bao. ¡°With such a sizable piece of Bloodsoul Wood, crafting two substitutes should be well within reach.¡± The more Cheng Xu pondered, the more tion coursed through his veins. Today¡¯s expedition had undeniably yielded an abundant harvest. ¡°Dark Steel Stone and Frost Jade Dew¡­ tsk tsk. These won¡¯t be easy to obtain!¡± Gazing upon the materials required for upgrading his CPU and memory from level four to level five, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but feel the onset of a throbbing headache. Although the configuration upgrade proved beneficial, it also incurred a hefty expense. The spirit stones required for the upgrade, along with the other materials needed to refine the substitute Xiao Bao, demanded a significant amount of money. While they had obtained numerous priceless materials during their expedition, each one was too valuable to part with easily. In summary, if Cheng Xu desired to umte wealth, he knew he had to toil diligently! ¡°I must devise a n to earn money once 1 return!¡± Undeterred, he continued scouring the treasure vault. After confirming the absence of hiddenpartments or missing items, Cheng Xu made his exit. Little did he expect that as soon as he emerged from the secret passage, an icy and palpable aura of imminent danger assailed him from the side. Hastily, Cheng Xu brandished his +5 flying sword to fend off the attack. ng! With ease, the +5 flying sword repelled the surprise assault. As his gaze sharpened, the familiar invisibility veil vanished, revealing an unfamiliar female cultivator staring at him in astonishment. It¡¯s you?¡± The female cultivator regarded Cheng Xu and his flying sword with disbelief. ¡°In just a few days, you¡¯ve already mastered the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique to this extent?¡± Cheng Xu was taken aback. Only after scanning the other party¡¯s data did he confirm her identity¡ªYue Wanting. It was evident that Yue Wanting had alsoe in search of Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s legacy, but she hadn¡¯t anticipated stumbling upon this secret treasure vault. ¡°My apologies, Fairy,¡± Cheng Xu courteously addressed her, a hint of teasingcing his words. ¡°This ce has already been imed by me.¡± Yue Wanling¡¯s expression wavered. Had it been any other cultivator, she would have swiftly dispatched them and seized their spoils. However, facing Cheng Xu, an enigmatic figure, she felt an unmistakableck of confidence. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question,¡± she pressed, her tone insistent. ¡°You¡¯re referring to the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique?¡± Cheng Xu replied in a regal manner, a touch of amusement coloring his voice. ¡°Is it truly as arduous as you suggest?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yue Wanling found herself at a loss for words. Could it truly be that such a heaven-defying individual existed, capable ofprehending everything in a single attempt? ¡°By the way, how did Fairy stumble upon this treasure vault?¡± Cheng Xu inquired curiously. Yue Wanling responded with indifference, ¡°I simply detected faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from a battle in the vicinity. I didn¡¯t anticipate that you would be engaged inbat inside.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Cheng Xu acknowledged, a hint of understanding in his eyes. ¡°Speaking of which, if Fairy is unsatisfied, you can go in and collect the remaining spoils.¡± I¡¯m not ustomed to feasting on scraps left by others,¡± Yue Wanling retorted, rolling her eyes before swiftly departing on her flying sword. Cheng Xu observed Yue Wanling¡¯s departure and decided not to linger any longer. He made his way back to the Medicine Celestial Valley. During the journey, notifications of the sessful optimization of the Tiger Subduing Fist and the Setting Sun Finger materialized before his eyes. The information pertaining to these techniques in his mind had evidently undergone changes, and the file size had increased slightly. Moreover, even the name of the Tiger Subduing Fist had been altered: Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist (19MB) Setting Sun Finger (14.8MB) Eager to test the results, Cheng Xu executed a Setting Sun Finger. Whoosh! The force behind the finger strike had be several times more condensed than before, with its power undiminished even when unleashed at a distance of three hundred meters. As for the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist, its overall power and technique had significantly enhanced, making it more than capable of excelling in closebat against opponents of the same level. ¡°Flowing Cloud Steps, Protective Shield, and Ster Guard, prepare yourselves!¡± Cheng Xu urged. Two dayster, Cheng Xu descended gracefully on his flying sword. Transforming into a fleeting afterimage akin to drifting clouds, he materialized instantly in front of his cave dwelling. The optimized Flowing Cloud Steps had grown from 6MB to 13.5MB, doubling its speed and agility. As for his Protective Dipper Energy, the transformation was even more remarkable. The optimized file size of the defense technique surged from a mere 8.8MB to an impressive 21MB, imbuing Cheng Xu with a level of defensive prowessparable to the renowned Cann Formation. Such an upgrade proved to be a transformative boon, a testament to the remarkable progress he had made during his eventful journey to Grand Cloud Mountain. His strength had undeniably more than doubled, leaving him in a position where he could confidently confront a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Building without relying on anyputer cheats. As fate would have it, upon his return to the Medicine Immortal Valley, Cheng Xu encountered his fellow disciple Miao Changsheng, who had just emerged from the library cave. The surprise and delight in Miao Changsheng¡¯s eyes were palpable as he greeted Cheng Xu. ¡°Air, Senior Brother, I thought you were still out hunting demonic beasts. You¡¯ve returned so soon!¡± Miao Changsheng eximed, unable to contain his curiosity. ¡°I was fortunate enough to aplish my mission swiftly,¡± Cheng Xu replied nonchntly, his gaze fixed on Miao Changsheng with an intrigued expression. ¡°However, I can¡¯t help but notice that you appear different from before. Have you undergone some sort of transformation in such a short span of time?¡± A mischievous smile danced upon Miao Changsheng¡¯s lips as he gleefully responded, ¡°Hehe, Shixiong¡¯s discernment is truly remarkable! You might find it hard to believe, but I managed toprehend the elusive Qi Mantra in a mere four days!¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s pupils widened ever so slightly, his astonishment evident. ¡°Is that so? Four days to unravel the mysteries of the Qi Mantra¡­ Impressive.¡± The implication of Miao Changsheng¡¯s achievement was not lost on Cheng Xu, his thoughts swirling with anticipation and intrigue. The mere mention of Senior Brother Tang¡¯s expression at the time spoke volumes, hinting at the profound impact of Miao Changsheng¡¯s newfound understanding.. Chapter 49 - 49: Money-Making Plan Chapter 49: Money-Making n Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Junior Brother, your progress is truly astounding,¡± Cheng Xu eximed, his admiration evident in his tone. Miao Changsheng modestly replied, ¡°I still have a long way to gopared to Senior Brother¡¯s achievements.¡± Curiosity piqued, Cheng Xu inquired about Miao Changsheng¡¯s progress inprehending the poison technique. Miao Changsheng shifted ufortably and replied with a hint of embarrassment, ¡°I must admit, I¡¯m not doing as well in that aspect. My understanding is hindered by my limited knowledge of toxicity and pharmacology. After all, 1 am studying poisons specifically.¡± ¡°Have confidence, Senior Brother believes in you!¡± Cheng Xu reassured Miao Changsheng, patting his shoulder affectionately. With encouraging words shared, Cheng Xu set his focus on devising a n to generate wealth. His first order of business naturally involved pill refinement. True Essence Pills and Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pills were in high demand and needed to be prepared in abundance. Upon arriving at the Spirit Herb Hall, Cheng Xu procured a batch of True Essence Pill materials from Martial Uncle Feng. Next, he inquired about the ingredients required for the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill. ¡°Unfortunately, these few rare medicinal herbs cannot be artificially cultivated. To obtain them, you will need to explore alternative avenues,¡± Martial Uncle Feng exined with a shake of his head. ¡°Perhaps you can seek assistance from your Martial Uncle Ma. He possesses various means to acquire spiritual herbs.¡± Cheng Xu expressed his gratitude to Martial Uncle Feng before swiftly making his way to the Merit Hall, where Martial Uncle Ma oversaw the sect¡¯s business operations. Martial Uncle Ma¡¯s face lit up with a smile upon seeing Cheng Xu. ¡°Ah, Martial Nephew, you¡¯vee at the perfect time. The initial batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, produced inrger quantities, has already been sold out. It seems that our Medicine Immortal Valley is on its way to great prosperity!¡± ¡°That¡¯s excellent news,¡± Cheng Xu responded with a gentle smile before borating on his purpose. ¡°I would like to inquire, Martial Uncle, if there are any avenues avable for purchasing medicinal herbs and refining materials.¡± ¡°Medicinal herbs and refining materials?¡± Martial Uncle Ma appeared intrigued. ¡°Are you in need of them for the short term or the long term?¡± ¡°Long-term,¡± Cheng Xu affirmed with determination, his eyes reflecting his unwavering resolve. ¡°In the long term, our best bet would be to explore the variousrge cultivation chambers ofmerce,¡± Martial Uncle Ma contemted before suggesting, ¡°However, be cautious when dealing with them, as those in charge can be cunning, and it¡¯s easy to suffer losses. How about this? Seek out Xiangxiang Be and make contact with her family¡¯s Chamber of Commerce. It can save you a substantial amount of spirit stones.¡± ¡°Senior Sister Jian?¡± Cheng Xu expressed his surprise. ¡°Senior Sister Jian¡¯s family operates a Chamber of Commerce?¡± Martial Uncle Ma smiled and replied, ¡°Oh, you didn¡¯t know? The Jian Chamber of Commerce is quite renowned in our Mini Southern Heaven. They have a wide businesswork and are responsible for more than half of the medicinal pill sales in our Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± ¡°I was aware that Senior Sister Jian came from a cultivation aristocratic family, but I never imagined she would be involved in merchant activities,¡± Cheng Xu admitted with a hint of embarrassment. After bidding farewell to Martial Uncle Ma, he made his way to Senior Sister Jian¡¯s abode. Jian Yuxiang¡¯s cave abode was conveniently located near the Merit Hall, and her surprise was evident upon seeing Cheng Xu¡¯s visit. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Jian Yuxiang greeted him with a puzzled expression. ¡°I have a small matter that 1 need to trouble Senior Sister with,¡± Cheng Xu said with a grin. ¡°Please, go ahead,¡± Jian Yuxiang responded, her smile sweet and inviting. Without wasting any time, Cheng Xu handed over the list of materials he required and exined his purpose. ¡°Shidi, are you nning to purchase these materials?¡± Jian Yuxiang questioned, her confusion evident. ¡°Yes, I was wondering if your Jian Chamber of Commerce could assist me,¡± Cheng Xu replied. Jian Yuxiang pondered for a moment before muttering to herself, ¡°Some of the materials involving demonic beasts might be more challenging, but 1 should be able to acquire them. However, it may take a little longer than expected, and I apologize for the inconvenience, Junior Brother.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush. As long as you can obtain them, it will suffice,¡± Cheng Xu reassured her. The list provided by Cheng Xu contained essential ingredients for the Muscle and Marrow Changing Pill, as well as the substitute substitute for Xiao Bao. If he were to acquire all the materials at once, it might be a daunting financial burden. ¡°Very well, once everything is prepared, 1 will inform you immediately,¡± Jian Yuxiang promised, hermitment evident in her words. ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister,¡± Cheng Xu expressed his gratitude before taking his leave. After departing from Jian Yuxiang¡¯s cave abode, he returned to his own dwelling to refine several cauldrons of True Essence Pills. Once hepleted this task, he left the Medicine Celestial Valley under the shroud of night and soared towards Floating Immortal City. Returning to Floating Immortal City, he immediately noticed a stark contrast from his previous visits. This time, armed with newfound knowledge in refining, formations, and talismans from the Yuntai Immortal¡¯s legacy, he was eager to test his skills and capitalize on his expertise. Floating Immortal City bustled with activity, brimming with bustling businesses. Before entering the city, Cheng Xu utilized a disguise technique to assume his previous life¡¯s appearance and stowed away his Medicine Immortal Valley identity card. Taking a leisurely stroll through Floating Immortal City, he eventually located the shop belonging to the Jian Chamber of Commerce. Although he concealed his true identity, he felt a sense of responsibility towards his fellow sect members¡¯ business affairs. ¡°Hey, is there anything I can assist you with?¡± The shopkeeper warmly greeted him. ¡°Do you have any talismans?¡± Cheng Xu inquired. ¡°Of course,¡± the shopkeeper replied with a smile. ¡°May 1 ask which grade of talisman paper you prefer?¡± ¡°Naturally, the higher the quality, the better,¡± Cheng Xu responded. ¡°Come,e, please follow me,¡± the shopkeeper beckoned, leading Cheng Xu to the inner hall. With pride, he introduced, ¡°The talisman papers avable in our Jian Chamber of Commerce are all of high-grade quality. Among them, the highest-tier option is none other than the high-grade talisman papers secretly produced by the Mystic Arts Sect.¡± ¡°Talismans from the Wondrous Spell Sect?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up with anticipation. ¡°What¡¯s the price?¡± ¡°A stack of ten talismans costs 130 spirit stones. If you purchase arger quantity, we can offer a more favorable price,¡± the shopkeeper exined. Let¡¯s start with a hundred stacks,¡± Cheng Xu decided. Talisman paper may appear inexpensive, but the failure rate during the inscribing process was exceptionally high, leading to wastage. However, with the assistance of his cultivationputer, Cheng Xu could guarantee a high sess rate. The shopkeeper¡¯s face beamed with joy. ¡°Very well! For a hundred stacks, I¡¯ll give you an additional twenty stacks. That will amount to a total of twelve hundred spirit stones. Little Liu, provide this customer with ten stacks of the Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s secret talisman papers.¡± Cheng Xu nodded in satisfaction, feeling that the Jian Chamber of Commerce had been quite amodating. ¡°By the way, shopkeeper, do you happen to possess these materials?¡± Cheng Xu handed over a list. The shopkeeper examined the list and replied awkwardly, ¡°These are allmon forging materials. If Fellow Daoist requires a substantial quantity, we can negotiate.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and presented 10,000 spiritual stones. ¡°Considering the ratios listed, providing me with 10,000 spirit stones should be a fair deal, don¡¯t you think?¡± ¡°Ten thousand spirit stones?¡± The shopkeeper¡¯s eyes widened with surprise and delight. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. 1 will immediately arrange for someone to fetch the goods for you.¡± After a brief pause, ten stacks of talisman papers and an assortment of materials for crafting the array discs were swiftly delivered to Cheng Xu. Being a valuable customer who had spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, Cheng Xu received courteous treatment from the shopkeeper throughout the entire transaction. The shopkeeper even personally escorted him to the door before bidding him farewell. ¡°By the way, shopkeeper, do you ept talismans and formation disks?¡± Cheng Xu halted just in front of the door. ¡°We certainly ept talismans, and our pricing is absolutely fair,¡± the shopkeeper replied confidently. However, he hesitated before continuing, ¡°But as for formation disks, you may have noticed that my shop does not carry them.¡± Cheng Xu nced around the shop and confirmed the absence of array disks. ¡°The profits from selling formation disks must be substantial, right? Why is your shop not involved in that business?¡± ¡°The profits are indeed enticing, but the level of technical expertise required is exceedingly high,¡± the shopkeeper exined with a touch of helplessness. ¡°The Scorching Sun Sect has essentially monopolized all aspects of business in Floating Immortal City and Mini Southern Heaven. Other sects and chambers ofmerce simply cannotpete.¡± Cheng Xu nodded thoughtfully, a wicked smile curling on his lips. He was determined to seize this lucrative opportunity from the clutches of the Scorching Sun Sect. ¡°By the way, shopkeeper, could you enlighten me on the types of talismans that sell best here?¡± ¡°Among the first-grade talismans, the top-selling ones are undoubtedly protective talismans, sharp talismans, and speed-increasing talismans.¡± ¡°What about the second-grade talismans?¡± The shopkeeper¡¯s eyes widened with surprise at Cheng Xu¡¯s question. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you also capable of crafting second-grade talismans?¡± he inquired. Cheng Xu merely smiled in response, choosing not to divulge any further details. ¡°The most popr second-grade talismans include Armor Talismans, Earth Escape Talismans, Fire Curse Talismans, and Ice Arrow Talismans.¡± Cheng Xu expressed his gratitude and departed on his sword, leaving behind a curious shopkeeper who watched him with intrigue. After returning to the familiar surroundings of the Medicine Immortal Valley, Cheng Xu wasted no time and immediatelymenced the production process. Given theplexity of crafting the versatile array discs, which necessitated extensive calctions and verifications from his trusty cultivationputer, there was no need to rush at this stage. Within the confines of his cave abode, Cheng Xu positioned himselffortably on the bed and quietly activated the talisman application. [Enchanted Talisman] [Enchanted Talisman Theory: Level 7] [Talisman Creation Ability: Intermediate] While his current proficiency in talisman craft may not have reached extraordinary heights, Cheng Xu possessed the capability to draw some second-grade talismans. Ordinarily, when cultivators embarked on the task of drawing talismans, they needed to infuse their own magical energy into the delicate talisman paper during the process. A single moment of carelessness could result in the utter annihtion of their previous efforts. Thus, it was a highly technical endeavor to engage in talisman creation. However, Cheng Xu¡¯s approach was distinctive. Once he essed the drawing page, he opted for the charm style of the Light Talisman and carefully positioned a pristine talisman paper within it. Upon confirming his selection, a notification window instantaneously materialized: ¡°The sess rate for this drawing is 80%. Confirm the drawing?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s brows knitted together in mild consternation. ¡°Hmm, all this technological assistance, and yet it only yields an 80% sess rate?¡± Apparently, his current knowledge of Enchanted Talismans still had room for improvement. Even for Level 1 Enchanted Talismans, his sess rate stood at a mere 80%. Nevertheless, it was inconsequential. He would undoubtedly not suffer any mary losses. It was merely a question of how much profit he would umte. Having affirmed the drawing, the talisman swiftly enveloped itself in a resplendent golden aura,mencing the rhythmic extraction of magical energy from Cheng Xu¡¯s being. In a matter of moments, a Light Spirit Talisman emerged triumphant. The creation process consumed roughly 6% of Cheng Xu¡¯s True Essence and magical energy. After all, it was only a Level 1 talisman. Over the course of the subsequent days, Cheng Xu efficiently exhausted all 100 talismans in one fell swoop. In the end, Cheng Xu sessfully crafted a total of 30 protective talismans, 30 sharp de talismans, and 23 light talismans. Initially, he had contemted drawing some Level Two talismans, but with a meager sess rate of just 18%, the potential profits were overshadowed by those of Level One talismans. it would be wiser to bide his time and await an improvement in his talisman expertise before delving into the creation of second-grade talismans. Now, it was time to embark on the refinement of the array discs. [Formation] [Formation Theory: Level 8] [Formation Ability: Advanced] Although Cheng Xu¡¯s level of proficiency in formations was not exceptionally high, refining array discs relied heavily on his forging and construction skills. During his time in the treasure trove of Yuntai Zhenren, Cheng Xu had perused numerousmonce array diagrams. Armed with this knowledge and theputational prowess of his Immortal Cultivationputer, he could obtain aprehensive set of array disc architectures that werepatible with various first and second-order arrays. Over twenty array diagrams interwove within his mind, causing the CPU to strain under the weight of the calctions. ¡°Damn, is the volume ofputations truly this immense?¡± Feeling an escting difort within his sea of consciousness, Cheng Xu¡¯splexion paled in fright. Soon, his head began to throb, and dizziness enveloped his senses. When he finally regained consciousness, a whole day had psed. It was evident that the sheer magnitude of calctions required to process over twenty formations simultaneously was staggering. Thankfully, the oue was favorable. At this juncture, he had sessfully condensed a set of exquisite array disc structures within his mind, perfectly amodating over 20 distinct types of first and second-tier array formations. ¡°Hiss- With so many intricate patterns, the difficulty of refining has undeniably increased!¡± Naturally, given his current prowess in the art of refining, the task was not overly challenging. He navigated to the [Equipment Refining] page and seamlessly imported the meticulously calcted array disc structure as a design into the equipment refining application. With that, Cheng Xu could rest assured, for the subsequent steps were in capable hands. Three days psed, and within that span, Cheng Xu efficiently produced twenty of these array discs in one fell swoop. Utilizing the remaining inexpensive five-element materials, he fashioned an additional twenty sets of array needles. The final step, as well as the most crucial one,y before him. That entailed painstakingly engraving a specially devised codename onto each array te: Alpha Dog. ¡°If my memory serves me right, the most high-priced Level Two formation disc in the Scorching Sun Sect can only amodate twenty standard formations, with over half of them being Tier 1 arrays.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk. Once this groundbreaking product hits the market, what will befall the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± Satisfied with his handiwork, Cheng Xu securely stored away the twenty sets of array discs and hurriedly departed from his cave abode, eagerly embarking on a journey to Floating Immortal City. However, his haste led him to inadvertently collide with Miao Changsheng upon exiting. ¡°What¡¯s got you in such high spirits?¡± Miao Changsheng inquired, taken aback. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve managed to rake in a small fortune recently,¡± Cheng Xu replied nonchntly. Miao Changsheng paid little heed. ¡°Oh, by the way, Master wishes to see you.¡± ¡°What for?¡± Cheng Xu queried. ¡°I¡¯m uncertain about the specifics,¡± Miao Changsheng said, pulling Cheng Xu aside and speaking in hushed tones. ¡°All I know is that Elder Hu from Yunzhong paid a visit this morning. Oh, and that Hu Jiaojiao was also in attendance..¡± Chapter 50 - 50: Semi-Automatic Medicine Refinement Chapter 50: Semi-Automatic Medicine Refinement Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Cheng Xu slightly furrowed his brows. ¡°Strange, why would this grandfather and grandson duoe to see Master?¡± he pondered to himself. ¡°I must say, Hu Jiaojiao has quite an arrogant demeanor. Senior Brother, it¡¯s best if you brace yourself,¡± Miao Changsheng cautioned. Cheng Xu mulled over his words and nodded, hastening his steps towards Perfected Yuntai¡¯s cave abode. Within the cave abode, his master, Yuntai Zhenren, engaged in a jovial conversation with Hu Banxian from the Yunzhong Sect, each showering the other with ttery. Hu Jiaojiao, seated beside Hu Banxian, sported a cold and weary expression. It was evident that she had yet to recover from the ordeal. When her gaze fell upon Cheng Xu on his arrival, it wasced with deep-seated resentment. She harbored animosity towards him for failing toe to her aid in time and rescue her from the clutches of the Demon w. ¡°Brother Yuntai, I¡¯ve heard that Jiaojiao and Brother Xiao Cheng had some misunderstandings. I brought Jiaojiao here today to mend those misunderstandings,¡± Hu Banxian addressed Cheng Xu directly, wasting no time. ¡°Brother Hu jests. It was merely a minor misunderstanding between young individuals. Furthermore, the misunderstanding had been resolved earlier,¡± Perfected Yuntai politely interjected. ¡°Little Cheng, you¡¯ve arrived at the opportune moment. Allow me to introduce Elder Hu from the Yunzhong Sect. And as for Jiaojiao, there¡¯s no need for an introduction, I presume?¡± Cheng Xu stepped forward, bowing respectfully. ¡°Junior Cheng Xu pays his respects to Senior Hu.¡± ¡°No need for such formalities,¡± Hu Banxian responded with a feigned smile. ¡°When we were training together, you disyed great benevolence by saving Jiaojiao¡¯s life. I¡¯ve been longing for an opportunity to personally express my gratitude.¡± ¡°Senior, your praise is too generous. As fellow cultivators on the righteous path, it was only natural for me to lend a helping hand,¡± Cheng Xu replied with a dignified smile. Although he hadn¡¯t acted swiftly, he had indeed saved Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s life. ¡°Tsk, tsk. Truly worthy of being Brother Yuntai¡¯s disciple!¡± Hu Banxianuded in secret, then turned his attention to Hu Jiao jiao by his side. ¡°Girl, what are you waiting for?¡± Hu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and walked up to Cheng Xu. She handed him an exquisitely crafted wooden box and managed to force out a sentence from between her gritted teeth, ¡°Thank you for saving me, Brother Cheng!¡± Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t oblivious to the situation. Judging from Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s expression, he could tell that she hade to express her gratitude under some kind of pressure. After all, nearly a month had passed since their joint experiential learning ended. If she genuinely wanted to show her appreciation, she would have done so much earlier. Nevertheless, Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t one to reject a gift offered freely. He epted the wooden box and opened it, his eyes widening in delight. ¡°This thousand-year-old Jasper Ginseng can be considered as a token of gratitude for your kindness,¡± Hu Banxian remarked with a smile. ¡°Not bad, Brother Hu. I didn¡¯t expect you to possess such a valuable item,¡± Yuntai Zhenren expressed his surprise, as he was also shocked by this gift. Indeed, the Green Jade Ginseng was one of the three crucial ingredients required for refining the Gold Modeling Pill, not to mention that it was a thousand-year-old specimen. ¡°Compared to my precious granddaughter¡¯s life, this is nothing to mention,¡± Hu Banxian heroically replied, shooting a knowing wink in Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s direction. Instantly, Hu Jiaojiao understood the implied message. Her arrogance mingled with intense resentment as she spoke, ¡°Senior Yuntai, I¡¯ve heard that Junior Brother Cheng possesses exceptional talent in medicinal refinement. Junior believes he has some skill in this field.¡± Cheng Xu and Yuntai Zhenren exchanged stunned nces. ¡°Cough cough¡­ Youngdy, you¡¯re far too modest. You¡¯re a renowned prodigy among the alchemists in the realm of Little Southern Heaven,¡± Yuntai Zhenren replied with a polite smile, hesitating for a moment. ¡°As for apetition with Cheng Xu, I think we can let that idea go.¡± ¡°What? Is Senior Yuntai afraid of losing face?¡± Hu Jiaojiao provocatively snorted. Yuntai Zhenren found himself caught betweenughter and exasperation. Cheng Xu struggled to suppress his amusement. Wasn¡¯t challenging him to a medicinal refinement contest just asking for humiliation? No, no, no. Until now, he hadn¡¯t actually used an alchemy furnace to refine pills. If he were to engage in apetition with Hu Jiao jiao, he would undoubtedly have to refine pills on the spot using the alchemy furnace. While he was confident in his theoretical knowledge, hecked confidence when it came to practical application. Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao was eager for a challenge, Perfected Yuntai could only appease her. ¡°Cheng Xu, since Jiaojiao insists on a contest, let¡¯s have a spar,¡± he acquiesced. Hu Banxian seized the opportunity and chimed in, ¡°It¡¯s beneficial for young people to broaden their horizons. Jiaojiao, tell me, which elixir do you wish topete with Cheng Xu on?¡± ¡°Ordinary medicinal pills won¡¯t pose a challenge to Junior Brother Cheng. How about wepete with the Foundation Establishment Pill?¡± Hu Jiaojiao suggested, her eyes gleaming with determination. As soon as those words left his mouth, Yuntai Zhenren and Cheng Xu exchanged astonished nces. Finally, they understood the true motive behind this grandfather and granddaughter duo¡¯s visit. The initial batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, produced after the Medicine Immortal Valley¡¯s increased production, had just been sold out, and Hu Jiaojiao hade to challenge them. Her purpose was clearly to verify the authenticity of their im. Of course, even if Hu Banxian carefully observed the entire process, it would be impossible for him to replicate Cheng Xu¡¯s new form. The recipe was far more intricate than a mere list of ingredients. It involved various nuances regarding the properties of the ingredients, the merging of their medicinal essences during the refinement process, precise fire control, and a host ofplex procedures. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that your sect has recently developed a new form for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and our little friend Cheng Xu has made significant contributions to it,¡± Hu Banxian remarked, seizing the opportunity. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take this chance to enlighten me?¡± Perfected Yuntai smiled knowingly,pletely unperturbed by the situation. He was well aware of the exceptional nature of Cheng Xu¡¯s new form¡¯s medicinal theory. Even if Hu Banxian were to witness Cheng Xu¡¯s refining process firsthand, not only would she be unable to grasp it, but she would also find herself questioning her very existence. ¡°Indeed, but I must correct you,¡± Daoist Master Yuntai replied with a smile. ¡°Little Cheng Xu didn¡¯t merely make a small contribution.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Hu Banxian expressed doubt. When he first heard the news, he had basically treated it as nothing more than a mere joke. After all, Cheng Xu was merely a fledgling in the field of alchemy. It was already quite extraordinary for him to be able to sessfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. How could he possibly possess the capability to modify the form of such a pivotal elixir such as the Foundation Establishment Pill? Thus, Hu Banxian subconsciously believed that the new form for the Foundation Establishment Pill was actually devised by Yuntai Zhenren, and Cheng Xu was at most a mere assistant. However, Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s reaction indicated that the situation was not as simple as Hu Banxian had assumed. Could it be that Cheng Xu truly created the new form for the Foundation Establishment Pill? This¡­ seemed almost imusible. ¡°It can only be said that we old folks have been trapped in our own conventional thinking,¡± Yuntai Zhenren sighed, shaking his head. ¡°When ites to fresh ideas and innovation, it is the younger generation that excels.¡± Upon hearing this, Hu Banxian couldn¡¯t help but fall into deep contemtion. Meanwhile, Hu Jiao jiao grew impatient and sought to restore her confidence through the practice of alchemy. ¡°Let¡¯s begin. I want to witness your capabilities firsthand!¡± Hu Jiaojiao huffed lightly and retrieved a pill furnace and the requisite materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill from her storage bag. She proceeded to operate in an orderly manner. Casting a hesitant nce at Perfected Yuntai, Cheng Xu finally took out the high-quality furnace he had acquired from the Magical Equipment Exposition. ¡°Hey there, little friend, this pill furnace is quite impressive!¡± Hu Banxian eximed in surprise. Hu Jiaojiao sneered, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal about having a good pill furnace? Refining medicine depends on skill!¡± Noticing Cheng Xu¡¯s prolonged hesitation, Yuntai Zhenren quickly understood the situation. He raised his hand and tossed a set of materials for the new form of the Foundation Establishment Pill to Cheng Xu. As soon as Hu Banxian caught sight of the ingredients, she couldn¡¯t help but gasp, ¡°Brother Yuntai, is it possible to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill using these¡­ materials?¡± It was unavoidable. The materials Cheng Xu had chosen were exceptionally inexpensive. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you will see soon enough,¡± Perfected Yuntai deliberately left it ambiguous. Hu Jiaojiao was also taken aback by the materials Cheng Xu had selected, but she swiftly regained herposure and inwardly sneered. In her opinion, even if these materials could indeed be used to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, the quality would likely be subpar. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu embarked on his first attempt at pill refinement. He began by briefly processing the various materials before cing them one by one into the pill furnace. Activating the mes, he utilized the fire attribute magic power from the Crimson Brilliant Mystic Scripture. Originally, Cheng Xu was already prepared to operate the entire process manually. However, the moment the mes were kindled, the system window once again appeared before him. ¡°High precision refining activated. The refinement equipment is superb, but the quality of the materials is slightly wed.¡± Above the pill furnace, a familiar progress bar materialized. However, to Cheng Xu¡¯s astonishment, this progress bar was noticeably faster than the automatic refinement progress bar of the cultivationputer. ¡°So, this is how it works?¡± Cheng Xu was genuinely taken aback and delighted. It appeared that a high-quality pill furnace could indeed expedite the refinement process to a certain extent. As he stood there, notifications continued to appear before his eyes: ¡°The local temperature is too high. Please adjust the furnace temperature promptly.¡± ¡°The Scorching Sun Herbal Attribute Release is nearing its optimal state. Please take appropriate action.¡± ¡°A small amount of impurities will form due to the fusion of medicinal properties. Please remove them promptly.¡± Stunned, Cheng Xu hastily followed the system prompts and made the necessary adjustments. Finally, Cheng Xu grasped the situation. Apart from the fully automated method of controlling the entire process, there was also this semi-automatic approach. Meanwhile, Hu Banxian and Yuntai Zhenren were unable to perceive the system notifications. In their eyes, every time there was a slight change in the furnace, Cheng Xu would immediately respond. Yuntai Zhenren remained rtively calm. After all, he had a clear understanding of Cheng Xu¡¯s current refining abilities. He was merely intrigued and pleasantly surprised by some of Cheng Xu¡¯s innovative techniques. However, the situation was different for Hu Banxian. Looking at Cheng Xu¡¯s skillful and intricate micro-maniptions, Hu Banxian couldn¡¯t help but question his own eyes. If there had been any doubts about Cheng Xu¡¯s ability to refine medicine before, they hadpletely vanished now. All that remained in Hu Banxian¡¯s eyes was sheer astonishment and disbelief. ¡°Has this child truly only been learning alchemy for a few months?¡± Hu Banxian swallowed hard, his expression growing increasinglyplex. After all, just a few months ago, Cheng Xu was a mere outer disciple of the Yunzhong Sect. If Hu Banxian had known about Cheng Xu¡¯s incredible talent in alchemy, he would have taken him under his wing without hesitation. In this moment, he began to understand why his senior brother had personally urged him toe here. Who wouldn¡¯t regret such a missed opportunity? He nced at his precious granddaughter standing beside him, and suddenly, she didn¡¯t seem as adorable as before. ¡°Girl, girl, I fear that your actions have jeopardized the hope of our Yunzhong Sect¡¯s alchemist lineage rising to prominence!¡± Hu Banxian¡¯s emotions were mixed. If Cheng Xu were his disciple, he was confident that within a few years, he could nurture him into the most outstanding alchemist in Mini Southern Heaven and elevate the Yunzhong Sect¡¯s alchemy prowess to unprecedented heights. Yet, such an extraordinary talent in pill refinement had been expelled from their sect by the Cloud Faction. ¡°It¡¯s puzzling. Little Friend Cheng¡¯s refining method and thought process seem quite different from Brother Yuntai¡¯s.¡± Hu Banxian fixated his gaze on Cheng Xu¡¯s every move and asked in bewilderment. ¡°That¡¯s precisely why I said it¡¯s a new idea!¡± Perfected Yuntai¡¯s smile stretched from ear to ear, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Four hours swiftly psed, passing in the blink of an eye. Hu Jiaojiao, who had maintained unwavering focus throughout the entire process, was still making final adjustments. In the meantime, the mes within Cheng Xu¡¯s pill furnace gradually dwindled, and a notification window appeared before him. Really?!¡± Hu Banxian eximed, once again taken aback. Just moments ago, he had harbored doubts about the authenticity of this form. Now, Hu Banxian was even more excited than Yuntai Zhenren, his own master. He sprang to his feet and hurried over to the alchemy furnace, his eyes brimming with astonishment and anticipation. The familiar aroma of medicinal herbs wafted from the furnace, causing his heart to race with anticipation. Based on the fragrance alone, it was undoubtedly a foundation establishment pill, and its quality was likely to be quite impressive.. Chapter 51 - 51: The Profits of the Array Disk Chapter 51: The Profits of the Array Disk Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Cheng Xu pretended to smile humbly and slowly opened the lid of the furnace. The rich fragrance of Foundation Establishment Pills instantly filled the air. ¡°Go¡­ High-grade?¡± ¡°Three¡­ All of them are high-grade!¡± Hu Banxian¡¯s pupils constricted. He could hardly believe his eyes. He originally thought that it was already ridiculous that this form could refine a Foundation Establishment Pill. He did not expect that it could actually refine a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. What was even more ridiculous was that this cauldron of medicinal pills was refined by Cheng Xu. One had to know that even if he personally refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would usually only produce three or four high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. asionally, if he was lucky, he might be able to produce a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. ¡°What do you think, Brother Hu? This disciple of mine is pretty good, right?¡± Yuntai Zhenren smiled faintly, as if he was showing off and mocking. Hu Banxian was silent for a long time. He looked back at his precious granddaughter who was still refining. Hisplicated emotions finally turned into a long sigh. ¡°I¡¯ve made a fool of myself in front of Senior.¡± Cheng Xu smiled modestly. The corner of Hu Banxian¡¯s mouth twitched unconsciously. ¡°Young friend, you are a genius. It is really a great blessing for Southern Heaven¡¯s Alchemy World.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Fortunately, I picked it up. Otherwise, it would definitely be a huge loss for the alchemist world.¡± Yuntai Zhenren agreed, but at the same time, he didn¡¯t forget to make a sarcastic remark. Hu Banxian could only smile awkwardly. ¡°By the way, Little Cheng, you cane back to our Yunzhong Sect more often when you have time. You cane back anytime you want.¡± Daoist Master Zhenren was unhappy at that moment. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to poach him in front of me?¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re wrong. Little Cheng was originally a disciple of my Yunzhong Sect, but he came to your Medicine Immortal Valley because of some misunderstanding. Now that I¡¯ve invited him back, how can you call it poaching?¡± Tsk, you still have the nerve to say that!¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. While Cheng Xu was secretly pleased with himself, he smiled and said, ¡°Senior Hu, I¡¯m quite happy in the Medicine Immortal Valley.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s a pity.¡± Hu Banxian wasn¡¯t stupid. He could naturally hear Cheng Xu¡¯s resentment towards the Yunzhong Sect. Looking at his precious granddaughter, he was instantly furious. At this moment, Hu Jiaojiao finished refining with full confidence. ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa, I¡¯m done!¡± Hu Banxian smiled stiffly. ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass yourself with your skills.¡± ¡°How is it embarrassing?¡± His granddaughter had dropped a middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill this time?¡± Hu Banxian sighed and pointed at Cheng Xu¡¯s pill furnace. She didn¡¯t say anything. Hu Jiaojiao was puzzled as she went forward to take a look. She was stunned on the spot. ¡°Three high-grade pills?!¡± ¡°Impossible! How is this possible?¡± ¡°It must be fake. How can those lousy materials be used to refine high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and there are three of them?¡± ¡°Alright, it must be you and your master working together to fake it! I refuse to ept this!¡± Cheng Xu and Yuntai Zhenren looked at each other and smiled, watching the joke quietly. ¡°Shut up!¡± Hu Banxian¡¯s face turned red. He gritted his teeth and scolded Hu Jiaojiao to calm down. Then, he cupped his fists at Cheng Xu and the other man and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to make a fool out of myself. Jiaojiao, this girl thinks too highly of herself and should be properly disciplined.¡± ¡°She¡¯s just a child. What¡¯s there to discipline? Happiness is the most important thing!¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s tone was still full of sarcasm. Hu Banxian was embarrassed. After pretending to scold Hu Jiaojiao, He left with a dark face. He could vaguely hear Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s indignant shouts. ¡°How is it, Little Cheng? Do you feel good?¡± Yuntai Zhenren asked jokingly. ¡°This is awesome. It would be even better if 1 could spar with that girl,¡± Cheng Xu said in a refreshed manner. ¡°Alright, there will be opportunities in the future. Yuntai Zhenren smiled unhappily and then said excitedly, ¡°Come,e,e. Just now, when you were refining medicine, there were a few operations that I didn¡¯t quite understand. Quickly tell me about your thoughts at that time.¡± Just like that, the Master and disciple once again discussed the medicinal theory. This discussionsted for two days and two nights. Cheng Xu benefited greatly. When his Pharmacology level rose to Level 16, his refining ability also jumped to Advanced (92%). As for his Master, Yuntai Zhenren, he seemed to haveprehended something as well and went into the alchemy room to get busy. Cheng Xu, who had returned to his cave abode, seemed to be pondering something. He refined a few pills in a row, as if he was conducting some kind of verification. ¡°As expected!¡± The Semi-Automatic Refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill was obviously better than the Fully Automatic Refining. Moreover, the loss rate and pill sess rate were also much higher than the Fully Automatic Refining. And it wasn¡¯t just the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was the same for other medicinal pills. Even a simple medicine like the Qi-gathering elixir could only be refined into high-grade. ¡°It seems that the cultivationputer¡¯s Automatic Pill Refinement can only refine high-grade pills at most. If you want to rush to the top grade, you still have to rely on Semi-Automatic.¡± However, even with the Semi-Automatic Refinement, he still could not refine a top-grade Qi-gathering elixir. However, he was certain that the Semi-Automatic refined high-grade Qi-gathering elixir was clearly closer to the top-grade quality. From this, it could be seen that wanting to refine supreme-grade medicinal pills was not that easy. ¡°No hurry, take it slow!¡± Cheng Xu was not in a hurry. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Floating Immortal City first and sell the talismans and array disks.¡± Floating Immortal City was still as lively as ever, with an endless stream of merchantsing and going. Cheng Xu, who had disguised himself, once again came to the Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s shop. The shopkeeper clearly remembered Cheng Xu and immediately came up to wee him warmly. ¡°Yo Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re here again? What do you need this time?¡± The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile. ¡°Just likest time, talisman paper and those few forging materials.¡± ¡°Oh, oh!¡± The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter to prepare. Cheng Xu took out the talismans that he had made. ¡°There are also some talismans that I want to sell.¡± He made a total of 83 talismans from the 100 talismans he hadst time. Cheng Xu kept five of each of the three types of talismans for his own use, and the remaining 68 were used to sell for money. At the same time, he could also cover up his heaven-defying sess rate in making talismans. ¡°Are they all level one talismans?¡± ¡°I can draw it at the second stage, but the sess rate is too low. It¡¯s not worth it.¡± The shopkeeper nodded in understanding. ¡°Fellow Daoist, the quality of this batch of Level One talismans is pretty good. They¡¯re almost on par with the high-quality goods supplied by the Mystic Arts Sect.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the price?¡± ¡°The price of these three talismans is about the same. How about 6o spirit stones per talisman?¡± Cheng Xu pondered for a moment and found it reasonable. Sixty-eight talismans, excluding the cost, he earned a profit of 2880 Spirit Stones, plus fifteen talismans for his own use. The profits obviously couldn¡¯t bepared to refining medicine, but who wouldin about having too many spirit stones? Afterpleting the talisman transaction, it was time for the main event, the formation disk. ¡°By the way, shopkeeper, I¡¯ve also prepared some Array Disks. Do you want to take a look?¡± ¡°Uh, there¡¯s no need for the Array Disk, right?¡± Other than the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s shop, the other shops were not selling at all. The shopkeeper refused. ¡°What if it¡¯s the same as the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s multipatible Array Disk?¡± Cheng Xu confidently took out a set of Array Disks. ¡°Really?¡± The shopkeeper was skeptical. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can find an array master to verify it.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment.¡± Cheng Xu was brought into the inner hall. After waiting for a moment, the shopkeeper rushed over with a white-beardedte-stage Foundation Establishment man. ¡°This is Master Yuan, a consecrator of the Jian Chamber of Commerce. Although he is an itinerant cultivator, his attainments in Array formations are not inferior to the cultivators of the Shenluo Hall.¡± The shopkeeper introduced them. ¡°Master Yuan, 1 apologize for my disrespect.¡± Cheng Xu greeted him briefly. Master Yuan didn¡¯t say anything. He picked up the array te on the table and began to examine it. He clicked his tongue in wonder and became more and more surprised. In the end, he couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°What do you think, Master Yuan? Is it really a multi-purpose Array Disk like the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± The shopkeeper was curious. ¡°Hu¡­¡± Master Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. His hands that were holding the Array Disk were trembling. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s much more powerful than the Level Two Array Disk that the Jinpan Spiritual Master personally refined. I¡¯ve just roughly tested it in my head. This Array Disk can amodate at least twentymonly used Level One and Level Two arrays.¡± The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted. The two of them looked at Cheng Xu at the same time. ¡°May 1 ask if this Array Disk was created by Fellow Daoist?¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. ¡°This Array Disk was refined by my master.¡± Master Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered as he carefully sized up Cheng Xu. ¡°1 see that Fellow Daoist isn¡¯t a cultivator of a sect. 1 wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested ining to my Jian Chamber of Commerce?¡± ¡°We¡¯re used to living in the wild,¡± Cheng Xu rejected politely. ¡°But we can still talk about cooperation. Speaking of which, my master has some connections with your Chamber of Commerce.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Master Yuan and the shopkeeper asked curiously,¡± May 1 ask your master¡¯s name?¡± Cheng Xu smiled but did not say anything. Seeing this, the two of them didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°I wonder how many of these Array Disks you have?¡± ¡°Twenty sets.¡± ¡°Huhh!¡± Master Yuan gasped in shock. ¡°As far as 1 know, this kind of multi-purpose Array Disk is quiteplicated and consumes a lot of energy. Your master is really a prolific person.¡± ¡°The Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s structure is indeed troublesome,¡± Cheng Xu said with a smile. ¡°But my master¡¯s structure is fine. It¡¯s not thatborious.¡± ¡°Is it really a new architecture?¡± Master Yuan was even more surprised. At first, he thought that Cheng Xu was backed by a big shot of the Scorching Sun Sect who was secretly smuggling to earn some extra money. Now, it seemed that someone had developed a new structure for the multi-purpose Array Disk. This was definitely a great opportunity for their Chamber of Commerce. ¡°However, these Array Disks are very expensive, and the store has limited funds. It¡¯s quite risky to eat twenty of them in one go. How about this? We¡¯ll take ten sets of Array Disks for now. Each set will cost fifty thousand spirit stones.¡± ¡°Fifty thousand?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly shocked. Before he came, he went to the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s shop and found that the best Level Two Multi-purpose Array Disk there was only worth about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Master Yuan nodded and said with a smile, ¡°Fellow Cultivator, your Array Disk is better than the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s. We can sell it at the same price as the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s first. Then, we can slowly increase the price.¡± ¡°Alright, happy cooperation.¡± Cheng Xu stood up and smiled. After that, both sides handed over the money and goods. After Master Yuan carefully confirmed that there was no problem with the ten sets of Array Disks, he solemnly presented a Jade te with the pattern of the Jian Chamber of Commerce. ¡°This is the Jade te that our Jian Chamber of Commerce gives to our distinguished guests. Those who hold the Jade te can enjoy a 10% discount in our shops.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Cheng Xu epted it with a smile. ¡°Right, how should I address you, Fellow Daoist?¡± ¡± Xu Cheng.¡± Cheng Xu casually left a fake name and turned to leave. Master Yuan and the shopkeeper saw him off warmly all the way to the door. They looked at Cheng Xu¡¯s departing figure thoughtfully. ¡°Master Yuan, is this Array Disk really better than the Array Disk of the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°What, are you doubting my judgment?¡± Master Yuan humphed and returned to the shop. ¡°Get me a set first. As for the owner, I¡¯ll talk to him personally.¡± ¡°Hmph¡­ I want to see how those old fellows in the Chamber of Commerce are going to show off in front of me after getting such a big deal!¡± The more Master Yuan thought about it, the more beautiful he became. He couldn¡¯t stop smiling. Just like that, under the shocked gaze of the shopkeeper, Master Yuan did not hesitate to buy a set of Array Disks with 50,000 spirit stones and became the first user of the Alpha Dog Array Disk. ¡°But then again, what does the inscription on this Array Disk mean?¡± Master Yuan stared at the inscription on the Array Disk and fell into deep thought.. ¡°Alpha Dog? Who would have such a name?¡± Chapter 52 - 52: Meeting the Demoness Again Chapter 52: Meeting the Demoness Again Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion It was still early, so Cheng Xu was not in a hurry to leave Floating Immortal City. He was prepared to walk around the various shops in Floating Immortal City and read all kinds of ancient books to gain knowledge. This time, he had earned more than 500,000 yuan in one go, which was really beyond his expectations. A set of Array Disks that cost less than 1,000 spirit stones could actually be sold for a terrifying price of 50,000 spirit stones. It was truly ridiculous. Perhaps this was the charm of monopoly and cutting-edge technology? Cheng Xu, who had a huge sum of money in his hands, was full of confidence. He began to wander around the major shops in Floating Immortal City, looking for the Green Sea Conch and Thunder Bamboo needed to upgrade the sound card andwork card. He also secretly read the various high-end books in the shops. After a while, he didn¡¯t find the Glue Sea Conch and Thunder Bamboo, but he managed to read quite a bit of data. In particr, the data on Arrays, talismans, and misceneous studies had unknowingly exceeded the 200MB mark. Needless to say, the improvement of his Array formation and talisman abilities, the key was the increase in his misceneous knowledge data, which allowed him to have a deeper and more detailed understanding of all aspects of the cultivation world. For example, the Great Southern Wilderness mentioned by the Grand Cloud Master. ording to one of the misceneous books, the Great Southern Wilderness was the real ancient cultivationnd. The current Mini Southern Heaven was only developedter. Of course, this information had nothing to do with Cheng Xu. He strolled into another shop, and his gaze was instantly attracted by a dark purple bamboo on the shelf. That¡¯s right, it was the Thunder Bamboo needed to upgrade thework card. This shop was very big, and there were many guests. ¡°Shopkeeper, how much is that Thunder Bamboo?¡± Cheng Xu suppressed his excitement and went forward to ask for the price. The shopkeeper turned his head to look at Cheng Xu and chuckled. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a coincidence? Another customer wants this Thunder Bamboo.¡± Cheng Xu was startled. Only then did he realize that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators beside him were also asking about the price of the Thunder Bamboo. ¡°We came first, right?¡± One of the men looked coldly at Cheng Xu. He was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his entire body was filled with hostility. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. Unfortunately, Cheng Xu did not panic at all. ¡°You must be joking, Fellow Daoist. When we do business, we naturally sell to whoever offers the highest price.¡± The shopkeeper smiled. The man¡¯s face stiffened, as if he wanted to make a move. Fortunately, a female cultivator at the side stopped him in time. The man finally calmed down. ¡°Little brother is so handsome. I wonder if you can give this piece of Thunder Bamboo to little sister?¡± The female cultivator looked at Cheng Xu with seductive eyes. Although she didn¡¯t look familiar, it gave Cheng Xu a feeling of deja vu. He immediately began to read the data of this woman, and the results shocked him. ¡°No way, can it be such a coincidence?¡± Cheng Xu looked at the female cultivator¡¯s data and cursed in his heart. ording to the female cultivator¡¯s familiar information, the female cultivator in front of him was the Saintess of the Blood Demon Church, Xu Lu. However, her cultivation had advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm, and she had used a special method to change her appearance and aura. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, fairy. This Thunder Bamboo is very important to me.¡± Cheng Xu said calmly. Seeing that Cheng Xu was not affected by her seduction technique, a trace of surprise shed in Xu Lu¡¯s eyes. ¡°In that case, we can only bid.¡± Cheng Xu smiled and made an inviting gesture. ¡°Fifty thousand spirit stones.¡± Xu Lu bid to the shopkeeper. ¡°60,000.¡± Cheng Xu followed up with a bid. ¡°Seventy thousand.¡± ¡°Eighty thousand.¡± Cheng Xu continued to press forward. 100,000!¡± Xu Lu was a little angry, and the male practitioner beside her was even angrier. Cheng Xu hesitated for a while before bidding, ¡°100,000 and a high-grade True Yuan Pill.¡± The moment this price was announced, Xu Lu¡¯s face turned ashen and they didn¡¯t continue to follow. On the other hand, the shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear as he immediately handed over the Thunder Bamboo with both hands. ¡°Thank you!¡± Cheng Xu smiled smugly and strode away. Although he spent a lot of money, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t feel any heartache. Because in his opinion, after he leftter, these two people would definitely secretly follow him and kill him. At that time, not only would he not lose out, but he would even earn a profit. Most importantly, he could also take credit for ying a wave of demons. Just thinking about it made him a little excited! Xu Lu and the man came out of the shop. Looking at Cheng Xu¡¯s back, the man sneered and wanted to follow him, but Xu Lu raised her hand and stopped him. ¡°We have important matters to attend to. It¡¯s better not to cause any unnecessary trouble.¡± Xu Lu shook her head. ¡°A mere early Foundation Establishment rogue Cultivator.¡± The man obviously didn¡¯t take Cheng Xu seriously and followed him doubtfully. Although Xu Lu was a little helpless, she did not stop him. Cheng Xu continued to look around the rest of the shops, but he still couldn¡¯t find the Green Sea Conch. It was already sunset. Cheng Xu used his divine sense to secretly nce at the Demonic Cultivator behind him and sneered in his heart. After leaving the Floating Immortal City, he rode on his sword at a leisurely pace and waited quietly for night to fall. After flying to an uninhabited mountain, Cheng Xu slowlynded and looked back at the deep night sky. ¡°How is it, Fellow Daoist? This cemetery I chose is not bad, right?¡± ¡°Interesting¡­¡± The man appeared in surprise. ¡°You can actually sense that I¡¯m following you.¡± ¡°Demon?!¡± Cheng Xu pretended to panic. ¡°You¡¯re a Fiendish Cultivator?¡± The man looked up at the sky andughed. ¡°So what? Are you going to leave here alive today?¡± Cheng Xu looked flustered on the surface, but he was secretly calm. Speaking of which, he had killed two Demon Disciples. How many Demon Disciples did the Blood Demon Church have? Were they so worthless? At this moment, Cheng Xu had already sessfully read the other party¡¯s data. He pretended to be nervous and looked around. ¡°So, the fairy maiden with you is also a Demonic Cultivator?¡± ¡°Stop looking. There¡¯s no need for the Holy Maiden to deal with you!¡± The man sneered. Cheng Xu could not help but feel a little disappointed when he learned that Xu Lu did note. ¡°Strange, why did you Demonse to Floating Immortal City?¡± Cheng Xu took the opportunity to inquire. ¡°A dead man asking so many questions? Is it useful?¡± The man grunted andughed as he turned into a bloody light and attacked Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu, who was still panicking a moment ago, suddenly smiled evilly. He opened his Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye and instantly froze the man in midair. Then, he controlled the +5 flying sword and attacked the man¡¯s face. Boom! It was the familiar Bloody Soul Bell that helped the man block the flying sword¡¯s attack. However, under the impact of the +5 flying sword, the Blood Soul Bell was clearly struggling to resist, and it let out an ear-piercing buzz. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s this stupid bell again?¡± Cheng Xu cursed in his heart. The other two flying swords flew over with the Cloud Sword Technique. Boom! Boom! The Blood Soul Bell began to tremble violently, but the man had already woken up. His expression was uncertain. Only then did he realize that he had encountered a tough opponent. He hurriedly exploded a cloud of blood mist and retreated. However, just as he was about to use his Escape Technique and Movement Technique to escape, he was stunned on the spot. ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± ¡°Why are you running? Weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now?¡± Cheng Xu used the Flowing Cloud Steps and easily chased after him. He raised his hand and used the Cloud Sword Technique. The man was already panicking. He hurriedly pped out a huge blood-red palm print to block it and quickly stepped on his flying sword to escape. Suddenly, a dark golden ancient seal character ¡°Qi¡± rose in the night sky. The man who was flying on the sword felt his sea of vital energy churn, and his magic power was agitated. The evil spirit hidden in his body rushed out, and all the meridians in his body were broken inch by inch in an instant. He was unable to control the flying sword anymore, and he fell into the forest with a miserable cry. ¡°D*mn, so fierce?¡± Cheng Xu was also shocked by the power of the Qi Word Mantra. It seemed that the effect of studying Qi type medicine was quite remarkable. In addition, the Qi word mantra could trigger the evil Qi in the bodies of the Blood Demon Church Cultivators, which was why it could produce such shocking power. Whoosh! Cheng Xu rushed to the man¡¯snding point at once, but he saw three scarlet blood needles suddenlying at him. The optimized Protective Dipper Energy was activated. The three blood needles were sessfully blocked by the Protective Upstanding Qi and scattered under his feet. Looking at the Demon Cultivator in front of him, he looked like he was struggling at death¡¯s door. He hurriedly spat out a mouthful of blood on the Blood Soul Bell. Die! The man roared madly. The Blood Soul Bell in front of him shone with a bloody light and shattered into countless blood-colored fragments, pouring down on Cheng Xu like a storm of pear blossoms. Shocked, Cheng Xu hurriedly used Cloud Steps to dodge. Although the Flowing Cloud Steps was much more agile than before, it could not withstand such a dense attack. Bang! The Protective Upstanding Qi on his body was quickly shattered by the blood-colored shards. At the critical moment, Cheng Xu hurriedly used the Cloud Sword Technique to parry. Needless to say, the Cloud Sky Sword Technique was quite useful for parrying. The sword moves flowed like water, and he barely blocked the follow-up attacks of the blood-colored fragments. However, his body was still scratched by the scattered blood-colored fragments. Seeing that the man had escaped from the forest behind him, Cheng Xu immediately used his Poison Word of Truth to suppress him. The man who had just escaped a short distance away instantly turned pale and his movements gradually slowed down. Then, the force of the Scorching Sun Finger pierced through his chest and hepletely lost his breath. ¡°Damn it, it seems to be much stronger than the previous two Demon heirs.¡± Cheng Xu walked forward while cursing and casually ate a few healing pills. ¡°It seems that there is a huge gap between the Demon Disciples of the Blood Demon Church.¡± He skillfully plundered the man¡¯s storage bag. Needless to say, this brother was quite wealthy, much richer than the two Demon heirs from before. ¡°Speaking of which, the Blood Demon Church suddenly appeared in Floating Immortal City. Could it be that they want to attack Floating Immortal City?¡± The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly used the Crimson Brilliant Mystic Scripture to summon mes and burn the man¡¯s body into ashes. Then, he stepped on his sword and rushed back to the Medicine Immortal Valley. In the Sect Master¡¯s cave, Immortal Danyang and Tang Xuan were still studying the mantra of the medicinal method. When they saw Cheng Xu suddenly barge in with injuries, they could not help but turn pale with fright. ¡°Martial Nephew (Junior Martial Brother), what¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Chapter 53 - 53: Hard to Find Chapter 53: Hard to Find Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Cheng Xu reported the situation of the Demon Cultivator appearing in Floating Immortal City. ¡°Floating Immortal City?¡± Immortal Danyang frowned, ¡°Strange¡­ What is the Blood Demon Church doing? Floating Immortal City was located in the heart of Mini Southern Heaven. So what if they conquered it?¡± At least from the logic of attacking cities and seizingnd, it was meaningless for the demonic path to attack Floating Immortal City. ¡°I should only becking some materials, so I should go to Floating Immortal City to purchase them. But we can¡¯t be negligent. It¡¯s better tomunicate with the various sects.¡± Immortal Danyang muttered. ¡°Oh right, this disciple heard that there is a very powerful rogue Cultivator in Floating Immortal City?¡± Cheng Xu asked suddenly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Senior Fu Yunzi of Floating Immortal City is considered the number one itinerant Cultivator in our Little Southern Heaven. When he was in seclusion a year ago, he was already a Peak Golden Core Cultivator.¡± Damn, he was already a peak Golden Stage Cultivator just sixty years ago. So Little Nantian was hiding such a fierce person? ¡°Do you think there is a possibility that Senior Fu Yunzi has some rtionship with the Demons, simr to Yuntai Zhenren?¡± Cheng Xu guessed. ¡°Impossible,¡± Immortal Danyang waved his hand and smiled. ¡°It might be possible for other rogue Cultivators, but it¡¯s impossible for Senior Fu Yunzi.¡± ¡°Oh, why is that?¡± Immortal Danyang pretended to be mysterious and smiled without saying a word. ¡°Senior Fu Yunzi used to be a genius disciple of the Yunzhong Sect,¡± Tang Xuan said. ¡°He was expelled from the Yunzhong Sect for some special reasons. He has always been in secret contact with the Yunzhong Sect. ording to seniority, he can be considered the Youngest Uncle of the Taoist Master of Cloud Sect.¡± Cheng Xu was slightly stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that the big shot of Floating Immortal City was actually an abandoned disciple of Yunzhong Sect. ¡®Wasn¡¯t this his script?¡¯ ¡°From a certain point of view, I¡¯m in the same boat as you, Little Cheng. Haha!¡± Immortal Danyang teased. ¡°May I ask why Senior Fu Yunzi was expelled from the Yunzhong Sect? ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the details, but from what your grandmaster said back then, it seems to be rted to the fight for the position of the previous sect master of the Yunzhong Sect. It seems that he helped the master of the Taoist Master of Cloud Step to take the me. Anyway, after the previous sect master of the Yunzhong Sect took the throne, he wanted to wee Senior Fu Yunzi back to the Yunzhong Sect more than once, but unfortunately, he was rejected by the elders many times.¡± Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard that. He didn¡¯t expect the Yunzhong Sect to have such a past. From the looks of it, Fu Yunzi was indeed unlikely to have any connection to the demonic path, but it could not be too absolute. After all, Fu Yunzi had not been able to return to the Yunzhong Sect sessfully, which left a hidden danger for the whole matter. ¡°I hope this disciple is worrying too much.¡± Cheng Xu reminded him. Immortal Danyang naturally understood. ¡°As the saying goes, people¡¯s hearts are unpredictable. Your worries are not without reason. Uncle Master will discuss it with the sect leaders of the various sects. You can go back and recuperate in peace.¡± Cheng Xu, who had returned to his cave abode, immediately consumed a True Essence Pill and activated the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye to absorb the extra spiritual energy. He cultivated while making talismans and Array Disks. While Cheng Xu was making the talismans and Array Disks, the Jian Chamber of Commerce in Floating Immortal City was filled with guests. Many cultivators who studied Array formations came because of its fame, just to obtain a set of super array disks with the signature of [Alpha Dog]. ¡°I say, shopkeeper, when will my Array Disk arrive?¡± ¡°Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.¡± ¡°If my offer is not enough, you can just say it. As long as you can get the dog tag Array Disk, it¡¯s fine to add some money.¡± The shopkeeper could only try his best to calm everyone down. ¡°Fellow Daoists, please calm down. Everyone should know how troublesome it is to refine Array Disks. We are also trying our best to negotiate with that master. We will inform everyone as soon as the goods arrive.¡± Hearing the shopkeeper¡¯s promise, the cultivators in the shop finally stopped. However, many passers-by cultivators expressed their doubts. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but a few days ago, the Jian Chamber of Commerceunched a multi-purpose Array Disk. Unfortunately, there were too few of them and they were sold out long ago.¡± ¡°Multi-purpose Array Disk?¡± The cultivator said in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t that the exclusive technique of the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°What? The Jian Chamber of Commerce has reached an agreement with the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± No, no, no. It¡¯s a multi-purpose Array Disk that¡¯s even more powerful than the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array disk?¡± ¡°Really?¡± The passersby were skeptical. ¡°The Array Disks of the Scorching Sun Sect are powerful enough. How can there be better Array Disks?¡± ¡°Why would I lie to you? Can¡¯t you see that so many people are waiting?¡± ¡°Did the Jian Chamber of Commerce ask for help?¡± Seeing that the passers-by suspected that they were acting as a decoy, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the crowd who was waiting in line for goods was instantly unhappy. He directly took out a brand new array disc in front of everyone. On the Array Disk was engraved the signature of [Alpha Dog]. ¡°Look, it¡¯s a dog tag Array Disk!¡± ¡°It looks real. It¡¯s exactly the same as my friend¡¯s.¡± ¡°When did Fellow Daoist buy it? H ¡°To be honest, I bought this set of Array Disks because of Master Yuan¡¯s rmendation. It was only after 1 went back and used it that I realized how powerful it was. Unfortunately, when I wanted to buy a second set, the Array Disks were sold out. To tell you the truth, the so-called multi-purpose Array Disks of the Scorching Sun Sect are nothingpared to this!¡± ii Uh, isn¡¯t Fellow Daoist going a little too far? This Array Disk seemed to bepatible with a few more level 1 and level 2 formations than the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disk, right?¡± ¡°Ohh? I think I¡¯ve gone too far! Humph!¡± The Building Foundation Stage Cultivator snorted. ¡°ording to my personal experience, this Array Disk is not as simple as the Array Disk of the Scorching Sun Sect that has almost ten more Array formations.¡± As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd expressed their doubts. ¡°Everyone, look!¡± The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled and took out all kinds of array needles on the spot. He weaved a simple level one array on the Array Disk on the spot. ¡°What?¡± The crowd was confused. ¡°Isn¡¯t this just a simple level 1 Formation Array?¡± The Foundation Establishment Cultivatorughed inwardly, ¡°Then everyone, watch again!¡± As he spoke, he pulled out more than ten array needles from the air and adjusted the position and depth of the array needles. The Array Disk once again emitted the energy fluctuations of the formation. ¡°This, this, this¡­ Water Repelling Formation?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? Just by moving a few array needles, it turned from a defensive array to a water-proof array?¡± The cultivators present who understood formations quickly realized the crux of the matter. ¡°Fellow Daoist¡¯s meaning is as long as you select two types of formations, ovep them, change formations, assemble them, you don¡¯t need to change them?¡± ¡°Looks like there are still people who know what they¡¯re doing!¡± The Foundation Establishment Cultivator nodded and smiled.¡± Someone in the crowd quickly raised a question, ¡°Can¡¯t the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disk work this way?¡± ¡°Haha.¡± The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. Then, the users of the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disks took out their own Array Disks and started to try. The results were all the same. When changing the structure of the formation, all the formation needles had to be pulled out before they could be used to re-construct another formation. As long as there was a formation needle left on the formation te, it would not be able to sessfully construct a second formation. For a moment, the crowd gasped. Even cultivators who did not understand array formations could see how big the difference was. ¡°Good heavens, which master is so powerful to be able to design and forge such a powerful formation te?¡± ¡°I feel that after familiarizing myself with it, 1 can even change the array formation in battle!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say, fellow Daoist¡¯s idea is indeed feasible.¡± ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m afraid the Scorching Sun Sect is going to panic this time!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right, fellow Daoist. You¡¯ve already bought a set of Array Disks. Why do you want to buy a second set?¡± The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled subtly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I want to buy a set for mypanion?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right? There are so many of them, but they are yet to touch the formation te.¡± The shopkeeper and the shop assistants were busy untilte at night before they finally managed to send the cultivators away. Just when they thought they could rx, a girl with a cold expression walked in. ¡°Miss?¡± Shopkeeper Niu turned pale with fright and hurriedly went forward to wee her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Father has already told me about the Array Disk.¡± Jian Yuxiang walked to the inner hall with familiarity and said with a serious expression. ¡°He couldn¡¯t get away and was afraid of neglecting the master, so he asked me to be in charge of the negotiations.¡± Shopkeeper Niu nodded in understanding. As he poured tea for Jian Yuxiang, he exined the grand asion of the store over the past two days. Jian Yuxiang clicked her tongue in wonder and nodded. She frowned and asked, ¡°Any reaction from the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°Not yet. ording to my observation,¡± Niu Zhangguan said, ¡°many of the guests who came to ask about the Array Disk are from the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± ¡°What about that master? Have you found any clues?¡± ¡°This¡­ If I investigate rashly, I¡¯m afraid it will cause the master to be unhappy, so 1 don¡¯t dare to act rashly.¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded. ¡°It¡¯s indeed not good to be too rash in this matter. By the way, did that master¡¯s disciple say when he woulde again?¡± ¡°No, but it should be in the next few days.¡± ¡°I hope so.¡± Jian Yuxiang sighed softly.. Chapter 54 - 54: Red Flame and White Flame Chapter 54: Red me and White me Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion In the Elder Council Hall of the Scorching Sun Sect. The higher-ups of the Scorching Sun Sect were gathered here with solemn expressions. The Spiritual Master held the formation te and carefully examined it again and again. His expression became more and more serious each time. ¡°How is it, Junior Brother? How does the structure of this formation tepare to the structure of our Scorching Sun Sect?¡± The Spiritual Master raised his head in silence, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of self-mockery, ¡°This old man believes that he is unique in the structure of the Array Disk. Now that I have seen this Array Disk, I finally understand what it means to be better than others. May I ask which master made this Array Disk?¡± ¡°It was leaked from the Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s shop in Floating Immortal City. It was said to be the work of a mysterious master. In order to obtain this set of Array Disks, I spent a lot of effort.¡± The elder in charge of business affairs replied. ¡°Jian Chamber of Commerce? The Jian Family does have a few good Array masters and Artifact masters, but there shouldn¡¯t be anyone who is proficient in Array formations and Artifact Refinement at the same time, right?¡± The Spiritual Master frowned in confusion. ¡°He should be a newly recruited wandering cultivator expert.¡± Sect Master Huyan Lie frowned and said, ¡°Junior Martial Brother, you haven¡¯t told me how the structure of this Array Disk is.¡± The Spiritual Master looked at the Array Disk in his hand, shook his head, and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s much better than my structure.¡± ¡°How much¡­?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a gap that I won¡¯t be able to reach in my entire life,¡± the Golden te Spiritual Master said bitterly. Hearing this, everyone present gasped. ¡°Surely not? What¡­?¡± Many elders didn¡¯t believe this. ¡°Senior Brother Jin Pan has been working hard on the formation te structure for so many years. How could there be such a huge gap between them?¡± ¡°Master Jin Pan, do you have the confidence to understand the mysteries within?¡± Huyan Lie asked. ¡°There¡¯s not much hope.¡± Elder Jin Pan shook his head in self-mockery. ¡°Damn it, where did the Jian Chamber of Commerce recruit such an expert?¡± The more Huyan Lie thought about it, the angrier he got. He immediately arranged for people to investigate the expert behind the Jian Chamber of Commerce. The meeting hall was filled with discussions. The elder in charge of the business of Floating Immortal City said with a worried expression, ¡°The problem now is what to do with my business? Ever since this Array Disk came out, our Array Disks can¡¯t be sold anymore.¡± ¡°Lower the price.¡± Spiritual Master Jin Pan sighed. ¡°How much should 1 lower it? ¡öI sh it to the point of zero. As soon as he said this, everyone present turned pale with fright. Forymen like them who didn¡¯t understand the structure of the Array Disk only the change in money could make them truly realize how terrifying the gap was. ¡°Uhh¡­ Cut it in half?¡± The business elder of Floating Immortal City said incoherently, ¡°Are you sure Senior Brother isn¡¯t joking?¡± The Spiritual Master shook his head and sighed bitterly. ¡°Hurry up and clear the inventory. Otherwise, when the next batch of Array Disks arrives, we¡¯ll have to continue cutting them in half.¡± ¡°Is it really that serious?¡± Sect Master Huyan Lie stood up in shock. Other masters smiled bitterly and looked at the Array Disk in their hands, feeling confused about themselves and this world. ¡°Such a powerful architecture, can it really be designed by humans?¡± Only he understood the terrifying amount of calction and brain power required to design such an architecture. Over the years, he had invested almost all his energy and brain power into perfecting his own architecture. However, the moment he saw this set of Array Disks, the fruits of his life¡¯s hard work seemed soical. It was like how the fall of thepany was not because it had done anything wrong, but simply because times had changed. He really wanted to meet the master named [Alpha Dog] with his own eyes and humbly ask for advice. However, the elders present did not think so. They were only concerned that the sect¡¯s future ie would be greatly reduced. In Medicine Immortal Valley, Cheng Xu¡¯s cave abode. After producing ail the talismans and materials, Cheng Xu was not in a rush to go to Floating Immortal City. Instead, he cultivated in peace for a few days. After all, his Array Disks were not famous and were sold at such a high price. They should not be sold out in a short period of time. After a few days of cultivation, his cultivation had improved. Unfortunately, he was still quite a distance away from the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, he had unknowingly reached the third level of the [zing Sun Mystic Scripture]. A cluster of red mes condensed inside the red vital essence in his sea of vital energy. ¡°Is this the zing True Fire produced after cultivating the zing Sun Mystic Scripture to the third level?¡± Cheng Xu slowly raised his hand. Under the urging of his true essence, a crimson me appeared in his palm. Whether it was the temperature or the power, it was far stronger than ordinary mes. Most importantly, Cheng Xu could control every detail of the me. In the future, when he was refining medicine semi-automatic, he would be able to control the fire much more urately. Originally, it was just a small gain in cultivation. Until a series of notifications popped up in front of him: [True Fire detected. Spell theory meets the requirements. Do you want to fuse and refine it with existing fire-type spells?] Cheng Xu was stunned. What did that mean? He could even use the True Fire cultivated from the cultivation technique to fuse and refine skills? To his surprise, Cheng Xu quickly chose to confirm. Then, he turned on the cultivationputer to check. The optimization progress bar had already appeared above the White me True Technique, and he began to extract his Crimson True Fire from his sea of vital energy. The entire optimization process took a total of more than four hours. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to y with more fire-type spells in the future.¡± While the White me True Secret Art was being optimized, Cheng Xu did not stay idle and prepared to head to Floating Immortal City. Just as he was about to ride the wind and fly up ny thousand miles, he heard a strange muffled sounding from his master¡¯s cave not far away. It was apanied by a strange and familiar energy fluctuation. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The furnace exploded?¡± He rushed to Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s cave dwelling with doubts, but the situation in front of him made him confused. Daoist Master Yuntai wasn¡¯t in the alchemy room. Instead, he was meditating and cultivating in his usual resting room. However, the room was already in a mess from the explosion. Fortunately, the power of the explosion was very weak. ¡°Strange, it still doesn¡¯t work?¡± Yuntai Zhenren¡¯s face was ck from the explosion, and his hair was messy. He muttered thoughtfully. He didn¡¯t even notice Cheng Xu when he walked up to him. ¡°Master, what just happened?¡± Cheng Xu looked puzzled. Yuntai Zhenren came back to his senses from his thoughts, and his fat face revealed some embarrassment. ¡°I just felt that the principles of the medicinal technique mantra were more interesting, so I tried to imitate it, but the results were not very ideal.¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. Good heavens, his master was trying to develop a new medicinal technique mantra ording to the principles of the medicinal technique mantra! Although the potion mantra was only 250mb in size, the spell theory and pharmaceutical theory contained in it were simply terrifying. And his master actually dared to create a brand new medicinal mantra. Was he going to ascend to the heavens? Most importantly, they had made some progress. Otherwise, where did the small explosione from? ¡°Have you really understood the principles behind the mantra?¡± Cheng Xu asked in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ve basically understood the basic principles. It¡¯s just that due to the limitations of my cultivation and the principles of the spell, many parts are still not perfect. But I¡¯ve been studying the theory of spells recently,¡± Yuntai Zhenren said with a silly smile. ¡°Maybe I can reallye up with the third mantra of the true mantra of medicinal spells in the future.¡± ¡°Amazing, my master!¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. Master was very confident in his attainments in the Dao of medicine, which was why he dared to make such an attempt. ¡°I¡¯m just curious. Whether I can seed is still a question. Right, what have you been up to recently, little guy?¡± Master Yuntai waved his hand and smiled. You can¡¯t even see a person?¡± ¡°Disciple has been focusing on cultivation recently.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yuntai Zhenren started preaching with a serious face. ¡°I heard from your Martial Uncle Ma that you had previously inquired about the channels for refining materials from him. Moreover, you have been running to Floating Immortal City recently.¡± Cheng Xu scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°I asionally studied Refining Artifacts and talismans.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget your identity as an alchemist,¡± Yuntai Zhenren said meaningfully, ¡°With your talent in alchemy, you will definitely be able to go further than your master in the future. Don¡¯t bury your talent.¡± ¡°Disciple will remember.¡± On the way to the Floating Immortal City, the White me True Technique was optimized. The file size directly expanded from 21.5MB to 72mb. The increase could be said to be earth-shattering. ¡°Red and White mes? Even the name has changed?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly amazed as he felt the new technique in his mind. While flying on his sword, he tried to cast the Red me and White me technique in his palm. The technique that was originally activated by true essence now required the Brilliant Red True me. The me in his hand was exactly the same as the new name. The inner circle of the me was crimson red, but the outer circle was a cold white. It looked very strange. Out of curiosity, he threw the me in his hand into the forest below. Boom! With a loud bang, a charred pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was sted out of the dense forest below. ¡°F*ck!¡± As a former cker, Cheng Xu¡¯s education level was limited. Just a small ball of me had such terrifying power. If he used all the Luminant Red True Fire, how powerful would it be? It was no exaggeration to say that the Red me and White me were his strongest moves at the moment! Just like that, with a heart full of joy, he rushed all the way to Floating Immortal City and changed his appearance with ease. The moment he stepped into Floating Immortal City, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere in Floating Immortal City was not quite right. The cultivators on the streets were in groups of three to five and were discussing animatedly. Cheng Xu was about to ask a passerby when he saw two familiar figures in the crowd ahead. It was Yang Tianqi and the number one genius of the Cloud Sect, Yan Changfeng. ¡°Are you here to investigate the demonic cultivators?¡± Because of his identity, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t go up and talk to him. After watching the two of them walk away, he began to ask the passersby nearby. If he didn¡¯t ask around, he wouldn¡¯t have known, but when he did, he was shocked. It turned out that Senior Fu Yunzi was about toe out of seclusion. This was undoubtedly a huge piece of news for Floating Immortal City. Many people were guessing if Senior Fu Yunzi had already broken through to the Core Transformation Realm.. Chapter 55 - 55: Realizing Financial Freedom Chapter 55: Realizing Financial Freedom Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Of course, the news was just a rumor. After all, Fu Yunzi had yet to make an official appearance. However, ording to the intense analysis and discussion of the passers-by, since Fu Yunzi hade out of seclusion, there was a high chance that he had broken through to the Core Transformation Realm. Every time he heard the term ¡®Core Transformation Realm¡¯, Cheng Xu would be deeply confused. He staggered all the way to the Jian Chamber of Commerce, and the scene in front of him really gave him a fright. The Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s shop was filled with people inside and outside, and the number of people was still expanding. ¡°D*mn, so many people?¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly shocked, he whispered to the people beside him, ¡°Fellow Daoist, what is everyone doing?¡± It can¡¯t be. Doesn¡¯t Fellow Daoist know? The Jian Chamber of Commerce recentlyunched a super powerful multi-purpose Array Disk. It has long spread among the circle of cultivators who study array formations!¡± ¡°Array Disk?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly stunned and could not believe it. This¡­Was it popr? Before he came, he was still worried about whether the Array Disks could be sold out. He did not expect such an oue. One had to know that the cultivation world was not like the Earth in his previous life, where there were all kinds of information transmission tforms. It was very difficult to open up a market for a brand new product. Is it because my technical skills are too awesome, or is it because the Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s marketing is too good?¡± Looking at the crowd outside the shop, Cheng Xu did not dare to go in to discuss business. If people knew that he was the Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s Array Disk supplier, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. Just as Cheng Xu was struggling with how to proceed with the next transaction, the waiter who was maintaining order at the entrance of the shop quickly discovered Cheng Xu¡¯s figure and quietly went back to report to the shopkeeper. Then, the shop assistant squeezed out from the crowd. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Immortal Master. There have been too many customers in the shop recently. We¡¯ve already packed the materials you asked for.¡± Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t stupid. He immediately pretended to follow him After entering through the back door, he was brought to the attic in the backyard by the waiter. ¡°Fellow Daoist Xu, are you a fellow Daoist?¡± A familiar voice came from the front hall of the attic.¡± I¡¯m Jian Yuxiang. Please forgive me for not weing you.¡± The moment he saw Jian Yuxiang, Cheng Xu staggered and almost tripped over the threshold. Good heavens, when did Jian Yuxiange to Floating Immortal City? If it wasn¡¯t for his quick thinking, he would have called her Senior Sister Jian. Seeing Cheng Xu¡¯s strange reaction, Jian Yuxiang thought that he didn¡¯t know her identity. ¡°Brother Xu, don¡¯t worry. My father has already given my sister full authority over the cooperation.¡± After saying that, he respectfully gestured for Cheng Xu to sit down. Cheng Xu was embarrassed. After all, she was his senior sister. He felt that something was wrong. Cheng Xu awkwardly sat down and pretended. ¡°That¡­ He had long heard that the daughter of the Jian Chamber of Commerce was talented and intelligent, and her appearance was extraordinary. Now that he saw her today, she really lived up to her reputation.¡± ¡°Brother Xu must be joking.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and curiously asked, ¡°I heard from Shopkeeper Niu that your master has some rtionship with my Jian Chamber of Commerce? I wonder if it¡¯s true or not?¡± Uh, anyway, that¡¯s what the Master said. I¡¯m not too sure about the details.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Jian Yuxiang was secretly puzzled. ¡°i wonder if I can have the honor of meeting you, Senior? To be honest, the Chamber of Commerce values Senior very much. As long as Senior is willing to join the Chamber of Commerce, Senior can name any conditions.¡± ¡°Cough cough, forget about this matter. My master has devoted his entire life to studying Array formations and Artifact Refinement. He doesn¡¯t like to show his face in public.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± At this time, Master Yuan and Shopkeeper Niu, who were dealing with the customers at the shop, finally got out of their way and rushed over. ¡°Haha¡­ Brother Xu, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Master Yuan was so enthusiastic that he didn¡¯t want to ept it. Judging from the identity card of the Chamber of Commerce on his waist, his status had obviously risen by quite a bit. ¡°You might not know this, but our Array Disks were sold out in less than two days after we put them out. These days, there¡¯s a long queue outside the shop every day, just waiting for Brother Xu toe.¡± Shopkeeper Niu also took the opportunity to tter Cheng Xu, making him feel embarrassed. ¡°Cough, that¡­ Let¡¯s talk about cooperation, shall we?¡± ¡°Right, right, right. Let¡¯s talk about cooperation first.¡± Master Yuan winked at Jian Yuxiang and sat down. ¡°I wonder how many Array Disks Brother Xu has brought this time?¡± Jian Yuxiang asked with a smile. ¡°Including the remaining ten sets fromst time, there are a total of thirty sets.¡± Master Yuan and Shopkeeper Niu were pleasantly surprised. ¡°In terms of price, do you have any requests, Brother Xu?¡± Jian Yuxiang continued to ask, ¡°With the current situation, Brother Xu can raise the price a little.¡± Just likest time, 50,000 per set.¡± Hearing this, Jian Yuxiang and the other two were secretly shocked. ¡°Brother Xu, are you sure you don¡¯t want to raise the price?¡± Master Yuan was surprised. ¡°To tell you the truth,st time 1 was in a hurry, so 1 couldn¡¯t see the true value of the Array Disk. In my opinion, it wouldn¡¯t be too much to sell your Array Disk for more than 70,000.¡± ¡°70,000 yuan per set?¡± Cheng Xu was surprised and delighted. ¡°This way, I¡¯m afraid your Chamber of Commerce won¡¯t make much profit, right?¡± ¡°Brother Xu is worrying too much. Based on the current situation, there are many people willing to spend 70,000 to buy your formation disk. As long as we can establish a long-term cooperative rtionship with you, our Chamber of Commerce would rather earn less profit.¡± Jian Yuxiang chuckled.¡± Cheng Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart. This was the rhythm ofpletely solving his financial freedom! ¡°I wonder what kind of long-term cooperation is?¡± ¡°Very simple. Brother Xu only needs to provide twenty sets of formation disks to our Chamber of Commerce every month.¡± Sure, no problem.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯d like to visit the old seniors personally.¡± Jian Yuxiang was satisfied. She didn¡¯t expect things to go so smoothly. After a round of pleasantries, Cheng Xu took out all 30 sets of Array Disks and sessfully received a huge sum of 1,500,000 Spiritual Stones. At the very least, he would not have to worry about Spirit Stones for a long time. ¡°Right, Brother Xu, 1 wonder if Senior can make a Level 3 multi-purpose Array Disk?¡± Master Yuan asked after he finished inspecting the goods. ¡°This¡­ My master has been researching the structure of a level 3 Array Disk. After he seeds, he will naturally prioritize cooperating with your Chamber of Commerce.¡± Hearing Cheng Xu¡¯s promise, Jian Yuxiang and the other two were naturally overjoyed. They immediately asked Cheng Xu to stay and hold a banquet to entertain them. At the dining table, the topic of Senior Fu Yunziing out of seclusion was brought up. ¡°I heard that Senior Fu Yunzi is going toe out of seclusion soon.¡± ¡°The source of the news is very reliable. It should be true. However, if Senior Fu Yunzi really broke through to the Core Transformation Realm as the rumors say, then Floating Immortal City will probably be in chaos for a period of time.¡± Cheng Xu nodded. Yuntai Zhenren had mentioned before that after Little Southern Heaven Cultivators broke through to the Core Transformation Realm, they would go to the Great Southern Wastnd to cultivate. When Fu Yunzi leaves, there would be no one left to hold the fort in Floating Immortal City. ¡°Oh right, does your Chamber of Commerce have materials like Green Sea Conches?¡± Cheng Xu asked. ¡°Green Sea Conch?¡± Jian Yuxiang was slightly startled and frowned. ¡°Brother Xu, do you need a Green Sea Conch?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°This Green Sea Conch is a material from sea beasts, and we don¡¯t have a sea area in Mini Nantian,¡± Jian Yuxiang said, ¡°However, our Jian Chamber of Commerce does have trade caravans with the Great Southern Wastnd. There should be a group of trade caravans from the Great Southern Wastnding back soon. If there are Green Sea Conches, we will definitely keep them for Brother Xu.¡± Cheng Xu was surprised and delighted. ¡°Your Chamber of Commerce has dealings with the Great Southern Wilderness?¡± ¡°If the Chamber of Commerce wants to develop, it¡¯s inevitable that they¡¯ll take risks,¡± Jian Yuxiang said with a smile. ¡°What kind of ce is the Great Southern Wastnd?¡± Cheng Xu was filled with curiosity. ¡°Thend is vast, the Spiritual energy is abundant, and the history is much thicker than Mini Southern Heaven.¡±Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes revealed some yearning.¡± Unfortunately, the Ancient Deste Demon Region is in between. It¡¯s very difficult to establish normalmunication with that side.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly. He could not help but feel a strong interest in the Great Southern Wilderness. After the dinner, both sides chatted happily. Before he left, Jian Yuxiang had asked the shopkeeper to prepare a batch of talisman papers and refining materials for Cheng Xu for free. Cheng Xu, who came out of the Jian Chamber of Commerce, was in a good mood. Not only did he have a huge sum of 1.5 million, but he had also taken a batch of talisman papers and materials for nothing. He would not need to purchase talisman papers and Formation materials for a long time in the future. He continued to walk around Floating Immortal City, but unfortunately, he did not find any valuable books. On the way back, Cheng Xu stepped on his flying sword and hummed the most mboyant ethnic style. He was in a good mood. ¡°Hmm?¡± His sharp divine sense faintly sensed that someone was following him, and his entire person instantly became vignt. However, when he detected the person following him, his expression became strange. It was actually an acquaintance. Cheng Xu could naturally guess the other party¡¯s intentions. He immediately threw out a few light talismans and stuck them on the flying sword, speeding up and leaving the other party a distance away. After confirming that he was out of the range of the other party¡¯s divine sense, he used the disguise technique to restore his appearance. He draped the Medicine Immortal Valley robe on his body and hung the identity card on his waist. He also changed the flying sword under his feet. Then, he changed his direction and flew back in the direction of Floating Immortal City at a moderate speed. ¡°Eh? Brother Cheng!¡± Wang Xiaolun, who was chasing after him, was stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Brother Wang from the Scorching Sun Sect? What are you¡­?¡± Cheng Xu slowed down and asked with interest. ii Did you see a Foundation Establishment Cultivator just now?¡± Wang Xiaolun asked seriously.¡± ¡°Is he flying fast?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, that¡¯s the bro. Where did he go?¡± ¡°Brother Wang has a grudge against that person?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be puzzled. H Uh, this matter is a long story. I¡¯ll exin it to you in the future when I have the chance. Quickly tell me where that person went?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to point in a random direction. ¡°Thank you, brother. I¡¯ll treat you to a drink someday!¡± Wang Xiaolun cupped his fists and thanked him before hurriedly chasing after the air. Watching Wang Xiaolun fly away, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but snicker. It was obvious that the Scorching Sun Sect had begun to investigate the source of the Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s Array Disks. Anyone who came out of the Jian Chamber of Commerce would be targeted in secret. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to change the way 1 trade in the future.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled as he changed his direction and flew towards the Medicine Immortal Valley. However, after flying for a short distance, a sharp killing intent suddenly attacked from behind. ¡°There are still people?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s heart thumped wildly, and he hurriedly activated his Protective Upstanding Qi to defend himself. At the same time, he swung his sword and turned around to block. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying Blood Qi shockwave struck, knocking Cheng Xu back dozens of meters. Looking closely, it turned out to be the Demoness of the Blood Demon Church, Xu Lu, who had disguised her appearance.. Chapter 56 - 56: Famous Detective Jian Yuxiang Chapter 56: Famous Detective Jian Yuxiang Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Cheng Xu was shocked. When did this girl catch up with him? He actually didn¡¯t notice it at all. Xu Lu, who was standing in the air and surrounded by Qi and blood, sneered. ¡°It really is you!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, looks like we¡¯re really fated!¡± Cheng Xu teased Xu Lu and wanted to read Demoness¡¯s data. However, he was surprised to find that the [Read] option did not appear on Xu Lu¡¯s body. What was going on? It couldn¡¯t be read? He could clearly read it thest time. Xu Lu naturally noticed the change in Cheng Xu¡¯s expression. The corners of her mouth curled into a triumphant smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t use your evil technique anymore?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s expression changed slightly. He did not expect this demoness to actually find a way to block the reading. Seeing that Cheng Xu was silent, Xu Lu became even more pleased. ¡°It seems that Father¡¯s analysis is correct. You must have cultivated a special kind of spiritual evil technique!¡± ¡°How can you say that I don¡¯t understand?¡± ¡°Still pretending!¡± Xu Lu smiled contemptuously. ¡°In order to guard against your evil technique, I brought six different types of spiritual sense magic treasures this time. Now it seems that they are very effective.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s mouth twitched. It seemed that this Demoness was really smart. She brought six different types of spiritual sense magic treasures in one go. It could be seen that some telepathic magical equipment could indeed work like a firewall or an anti-virus software to prevent theputers from reading. ¡°Tsk tsk, 1 just didn¡¯t think that the multi-purpose Array Disk that has been so popr in the city recently was actually created by you?¡± Xu Lu sized up Cheng Xu with interest, her seductive eyes filled with curiosity. Since he couldn¡¯t read the Demoness¡¯s data, Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste his breath on her. The dual-core flying swords shot out from the left and right, carrying the sword aura of the Cloud Sword Technique. Xu Lu casually took out the Blood Soul Bell and easily blocked the attacks of the two flying swords. Her eyes were filled with amusement. ¡°Handsome boy, oh handsome boy, do you think you can escape from my palm this time?¡± Then, blood-red threads shot out from her back and weaved into a blood-red that covered the sky. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Before 1 squeeze you dry, I won¡¯t kill you, hehe¡­¡± Xu Lu had already regarded Cheng Xu as her own. Little did she know that Cheng Xu was no longer the Cheng Xu from before. Red mes and white mes burned around his body, and the blood-red that enveloped him was instantly burned. He then used the Cloud Sword Technique to attack Xu Lu. Xu Lu was shocked when she saw the blood-red being destroyed. ¡°What a domineering me! It broke my blood so easily!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re here, then leave your little life behind!¡± The Cloud Sword Technique¡¯s sword force circted like a sea of clouds. Coupled with the +5 flying sword¡¯s support, it firmly sealed Xu Lu. ¡°The handsome boy is getting more and more surprising!¡± Xu Lu smiled calmly, her seductive eyes surging with a blood-red light. The next moment, Cheng Xu felt the blood in his body start to flow backward, and his breathing became chaotic. ¡°Qi!¡± As soon as the Qi word was spoken, a huge dark golden word appeared above his head. Xu Lu, who was full of confidence a second ago, entered a state of disordered breathing just like Cheng Xu in the next second. Moreover, the degree of disorder was much more serious than Cheng Xu¡¯s. Her entire person was quickly affected by the evil aura in her body, showing a ferocious state. ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Although she knew that Cheng Xu had such a move, she did not expect Cheng Xu¡¯s Qi word mantra to be so powerful. The Qi word mantra in front of her even reminded her of Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s Qi word mantra. Cheng Xu was not feeling well either. He subconsciously spat out a mouthful of blood. After hurriedly taking a few pills, he barely managed to control the restlessness of his blood. Seeing that the demoness had already been affected by the baleful aura and was on the verge of going berserk, he directly used the Poison Ivy Technique to bind her, followed by the Poison True Word. The Poison Ivy Technique was easily shattered by the Blood Soul Bell, but the Poison Word Mantra had sessfully taken effect. Xu Lu, who was already affected by the killing intent, turned purple in an instant. ¡°Demoness, die!¡± Cheng Xu, who had sessfully recovered, wrapped the scarlet and white mes around his flying sword and shot out with all his might. Xu Lu¡¯s pupils constricted, and the familiar blood needle shot out from her be again. Boom! The blood needles, which were usually extremely powerful, were easily shattered the moment they collided with the flying sword. The +5 flying sword carrying the red and white mes was like a hot knife through butter as it headed straight for Xu Lu¡¯s face. What?! Xu Lu turned pale with fright and hurriedly controlled the Blood Soul Bell to block with all its might. Under the double impact of the red mes and white mes and the +5 flying sword, a crack appeared on Xu Lu¡¯s high-grade Blood Soul Bell for the first time. It was barely able to withstand this fatal attack. ¡°Damn it, how did this guy be so powerful!¡± At this moment, Xu Lu no longer had the confidence to continue fighting. She tried her best to suppress the killing intent in her body and hurriedly used an escape technique to escape. Seeing that the demoness was about to escape, Cheng Xu immediately used the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art to interrupt her. However, Xu Lu, who was carrying six spiritual magic treasures, was not affected by the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art. After leaving behind a look of unwillingness, she turned into a bloody shadow and disappeared. ¡°Damn it! Cheng Xu cursed in his heart. However, this battle also made him understand that he could not rely too much on the ¡°hacking¡± function of the cultivationputer. If he wanted to survive in the cultivation world, he still had to rely on his own true strength. After recovering from his injuries, he hurried back to the Medicine Immortal Valley on his sword. After returning to his cave abode, Cheng Xu immediately began to recuperate and cultivate, trying his best to increase his strength. In the next few days. Cheng Xu was almost in a state of semi-seclusion. From time to time, he would make a trip to the library cave to look for some new skills. Because the Brilliant Red True Fire could bebined with fire-type skills, Cheng Xu was more inclined to choose fire-type skills. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Under the double amplification of the True Essence Pill and the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, his cultivation improved day by day. However, the biggest change was still in his strength. The few bones that were difficult to chew on in the second and third levels of the library cave were all taken by him. A few of the fire attribute skills disyed astonishing power after being fused and optimized. ¡°If we meet that Demoness again, we¡¯ll definitely make sure she doesn¡¯t return!¡± Looking at the new skills in the cultivationputer, Cheng Xu¡¯s confidence increased. Of course, he was in such a hurry to increase his strength. On the one hand, the battle with the Demoness made him feel the importance of his own strength. On the other hand, it was also to prepare for the Martial Arts Competition of the various sects in a month. Actually, he didn¡¯t want to be too ostentatious. He just wanted to get a simr ranking. However, it was said that among the rewards that the various sects took out, there was a heavenly treasure called Frost Rain Dew. That¡¯s right, it was the material needed to upgrade the CPU from Level 4 to Level 5. He had no choice but to aim for the top few. ¡°Is Junior Brother Cheng in?¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s voice came from outside the cave abode. Cheng Xu hurriedly stood up to wee her. ¡°Senior Sister, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already gathered all the materials on your list.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled faintly. With a wave of her hand, she listed all the materials in front of Cheng Xu. ¡°See if anything is missing.¡± ¡°No, no, 1 have everything. Thank you so much, Senior Sister.¡± Cheng Xu was extremely excited. ¡°What about the fees?¡± ¡°These materials are quite rare. Fortunately, they are all goods from my own Chamber of Commerce.¡± ¡°How much?¡± ¡°About eight hundred thousand spirit stones.¡± Cheng Xu estimated. As expected of his senior sister. If he went out to buy these things, he would not need to think about it without a million yuan. After decisively handing over 800,000 Spirit Stones to Jian Yuxiang, he happily put away all the materials. ¡°Speaking of which, why does Junior Brother need these materials?¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°I want to refine a rather special magic treasure.¡± A strange look shed across Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother can also forge magic treasures?¡± ¡°You¡¯re messing around and can¡¯t be seen.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. Jian Yuxiang smiled modestly and changed the topic, ¡°I heard that Junior Brother Cheng has been running to the library cave recently. Did youprehend any powerful spells?¡± ¡°No, I just randomly chose a few suitable spells. Isn¡¯t the martial artspetition about to begin? Think of a way to increase yourbat strength. 1 heard that Senior Sister Jian hadprehended the Flying Secret Technique a few days ago and caused quite a stir,¡± said Cheng Xu with a smile. ¡°I justprehended the first level. I¡¯m still far from it.¡± ¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯re being too humble. Who in the entire Medicine Celestial Valley doesn¡¯t know that Senior Sister specializes in powerful techniques?¡± The two of them boasted to each other for a long time. Cheng Xu had revealed his intention to send her off more than once, but Jian Yuxiang had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, she began to tour Cheng Xu¡¯s cave abode with great interest. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have much talent in alchemy. Otherwise, 1 would really like toprehend that mantra.¡± Jian Yuxiang sighed with regret as she toured the cave abode. Bang! A familiar sound came from Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s cave not far away. Uh, it should be the Master¡¯s furnace exploding again. It¡¯s fine, It¡¯s a small problem.¡± Cheng Xu signaled Jian Yuxiang not to panic. ¡°Furnace explosion?¡± Jian Yuxiang was puzzled, ¡°With Senior Uncle Chi Yao¡¯s alchemy skills, how could he make such a low-level mistake like exploding a furnace?¡± ¡°Uh, maybe he¡¯s researching some new pill.¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded slightly and didn¡¯t dwell on what had just happened. Then, when Cheng Xu wasn¡¯t paying attention, she asked, ¡°Oh right, I wonder how Brother Xu¡¯s Array Disk is going?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already refined it. Uh¡­¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes widened. He saw Jian Yuxiang looking at him with a faint smile. Her pretty face was flickering with shock. ¡°Is it really Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Cheng Xu stiffened for a long time and was puzzled. ¡°By the way, how did Senior Sister connect me to him?¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and said, ¡°Originally, it was only because of the name Xu Cheng and the feeling of deja vu on Junior Brother. 1 had a little suspicion until you took out those spirit stones.¡± ¡°Spirit stones?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. In order to better monitor the flow of funds, our Jian Chamber of Commerce usually puts a special mark on the spirit stones. And the spirit stones that Junior Brother Cheng just paid me clearly came from my Jian Chamber of Commerce,¡± exined Jian Yuxiang. Cheng Xu was speechless. Who would have thought that he would give himself away because of the spirit stones? ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect it to be Junior Brother Cheng.¡± Jian Yuxiang still had a look of disbelief on her face. ¡°By the way, was the structure of that Array Disk really designed by Shidi?¡± Since he had already been exposed, there was naturally no need to hide it. ¡°I saw that the multi-purpose Array Disk was so expensive at the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Exposition of Magic. I happened to have studied some knowledge about refining and formations, so 1 tried it out. I didn¡¯t expect it to work.¡± Jian Yuxiang took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time. ¡°Medicine refinement, weapon refinement, array formation, talismans, junior brother is really¡­¡± Jian Yuxiang didn¡¯t know how to describe it. ¡°With Junior Brother¡¯s amazing talent, it¡¯s hard to imagine that he could only be an outer disciple in Cloud Sect.¡± Cheng Xu smiled. ¡°That¡­ I hope Senior Martial Sister can help me keep this a secret.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Junior Brother Cheng. I will help you hide your identity.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Thest time he came back, he was followed by the Scorching Sun Sect. He was safe. In the future, he would trade in the Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± Jian Yuxiang agreed. ¡°Oh right, the Green Sea Conches that Brother Xu mentionedst time have also arrived.¡± Jian Yuxiang teased yfully. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s good. How many spirit stones?¡± Cheng Xu was overjoyed. ¡°There¡¯s no need for spirit stones,¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled sweetly and said, ¡°Just treat it as a gift for me to acknowledge my junior brother..¡± Chapter 57 - 57: Energy Splitting Stone Chapter 57: Energy Splitting Stone Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat ¡°How can that be? Even brothers have to settle scores! ¡± Cheng Xu took out the spirit stones and was about to pay. Jian Yuxiang smiled and waved her hand. She was determined not to ept it. Cheng Xu watched Jian Yuxiang leave helplessly. Sometimes, it was not a good thing to owe too many favors. He turned around and used the Green Sea Conch he had just obtained to upgrade the sound card to level four. Including the Spiritual Stones he had used to upgrade thework card and the Soo,coo he had paid Jian Yuxiang, the 1,500,000 yuan was instantly reduced to 400,000 yuan. It could only be said that upgrading theputer configuration was really burning money. At this point, only the graphics card remained at level 3. [Cultivation Computer] [Motherboard: Cheng Xu (Early Foundation Establishment)] [CPU: Divine Telekinesis (Dual-Core. sGigatheric Pulse)] [Memory: Comprehension (i024mb)] [Hard Disk: Knowledge Sea (1096mb)J [ Video Card: Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art 1.0 (1536mb)] [Sound Card: Integrated 4.0] [Networkcard: Integrated 4.0 (40 Mbit/s)] Then, he looked at the Level 5 materials for thework card and sound card. Divine Thunder Crystal and Dazzling Sound Stone. He had never heard of these two materials before. At least, in the various misceneous knowledge he had read, there was no record of these two materials. ¡°Is my cultivation level not high enough? Or did Little Nantian not have these two materials at ail?¡¯1 No matter what the reason was, the sound card andwork card could not be upgraded in a short period of time. He returned to his room in the cave abode andid out the materials needed to refine Xiao Lao s substitute in front of him. ording to the refining method in his mind, he processed and refined each material in turn. A magic treasure of this level could not be easily refined. Just the initial processing of the materials took three days, and his magic power was exhausted seven times. Finally, when all the materials were processed, they were ced into the Substitute Little Treasure¡¯s blueprint slot. He clicked to confirm the refinement. [Begin refining. Remaining time: 31 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes, 59 seconds.] The refining time left one speechless, but it was also within expectations. After all, once this thing was sessfully refined, it was equivalent to having an extra life. It was only right that it was a little difficult to refine. After that, he started to cultivate wholeheartedly to wee the uing martial artspetition. But sometimes, the heavens just didn¡¯t want you to calm down and cultivate properly. As soon as he started cultivating, an excited shout came from outside the cave abode, ¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother, quick, quick, quick!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Cheng Xu walked out of the cave in a huff. Miao Changsheng looked anxious. ¡°Something big has happened!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? The Devil Dao is attacking?¡± Cheng Xu frowned. ¡°No¡­11 Miao Changsheng said incoherently, ¡°It s Senior Fu Yunzi from Floating Immortal City who came to visit our master. He¡¯s already in the master¡¯s cave dwelling.¡± Cheng Xu suddenly quivered. ¡°When did this happen?¡± Miao Changsheng said anxiously, ¡°Senior Brother, quicklye with me to take a look.¡± Cheng Xu nodded solemnly and went to Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s cave abode with Miao Changsheng. At this moment, the higher-ups of the Medicine Celestial Valley, led by Perfected Dan Yang, had already arrived in the cave abode. They were like stars surrounding the moon as they greeted a handsome young master with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. This person looked to be in his early twenties, but his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life and experience. The most important thing was that this person s aura was like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time. it was obvious that this person was Fu Yunzi. Naturally, the two of them could not interject on such an asion. They stood quietly at the side with Tang Xuan and the others who hade to watch the show. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Senior Fu Yunzi had graced us with his presence.¡± Perfected Dan Yang represented everyone from the Medicine Celestial Valley and greeted him respectfully. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Fu Yunzi waved his hand and smiled. ¡°This old man has a request for your sect, so I naturally have to pay you a visit personally.11 Hearing this, the people from the Medicine Celestial Valley looked at each other. ¡°I heard that Chi Yao Zhenren has the ability to refine the Cracking Pill.¡± Fu Yunzi didn¡¯t waste any time. He waved his hand and threw out rhe materials for the cracking pill. Only then did the people of the Medicine Celestial Valley understand. ¡°Senior wants to refine the Cracking Pill?¡± Daoist Chi Yao said in surprise. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Everyone was surprised. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years. With Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s talent, you still don¡¯t have the confidence to transform into a core?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve got a lot of things,¡± he said, ¡°It¡¯s just that the matter of changing into a core concerns one¡¯s life, so there¡¯s no harm in being safe. If 1 can get the help of the Cracking Pill, this old man will have enough confidence to break through to the Core T ransformation Realm.¡± Everyone was enlightened. That¡¯s right. Who wouldin about having a high sess rate of breaking through? ¡°Since Senior Fu Yunzi has spoken, I will do my best.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren decisively epted this matter. Immortal Dan Yang also echoed, ¡°The Devil Dao is ready to make a move. If we can help Senior break through to the Core Transformation Realm, it will be a great blessing for the righteous path of Little South Heaven.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled faintly. ¡°I only ask for a Cracking Pill. The rest will be my reward for your sect.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± Everyone from the Medicine Celestial Valley hurriedly thanked him. ¡°I wonder how long it will take to refine this cracking pill?¡± ¡°Half a month is enough.¡± Daoist Chi Yao said. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯lle and get the pills in half a month.¡± Fu Yunzi nodded slightly, and then he bade farewell to everyone. He turned into a sharp sword light and disappeared without a trace. After Fu Yunzi left, everyone from the Medicine Celestial Valley was still in shock. ¡°As expected of the former prodigy of the Cloud Sect.¡± Elder Ma clicked his tongue and sighed. ¡°Although there¡¯s only a fine line between Late J indan stage and Peak Jindan stage, Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s aura makes me feel like 1 can¡¯t breathe.¡± Perfected Dan Yang was secretly surprised. Then, he turned to Chi Yao Zhenren. ¡°Speaking of which, how many cracking pills can junior brother refine with these materials?¡± ¡°Take your time. There¡¯s a high chance that you can get three.¡± ¡°Very good!¡± Everyone was overjoyed. ¡°In this way, our Medicine Celestial Valley will have two more spots to transform into pills in the future.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately started to prepare the Cracking Pill. Seeing that Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng were both there, he asked them to stay and help him. Everyone quickly dispersed, leaving only the master and disciple in the cave. ¡°The opportunity to refine the Cracking Pill is hard toe by. The two of you watch and learn well.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was making arrangements whileughing and joking. ¡°Alright, Master!¡± Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng were excited and looking forward to it. Although they were still unable to refine the Cracking Pill, if they could witness the refinement process of the Cracking Pill with their own eyes, it would definitely be of great benefit to their future growth. ¡°Oh right, Master, what material is this green ore? This disciple doesn¡¯t know it?¡± Miao Changsheng curiously looked at one of the green crystal ores that had been sealed with supernatural power. He wanted to reach out and touch it. ¡°Don¡¯t touch it!. This Energy Splitting Stone is the key material for refining the Cracking Pili. It contains an extremely strange energy. If you touch it rashly, it will cause great damage to your body.¡± ¡°So powerful?¡± Miao Changsheng quickly retreated a distance away. ¡°What do you think?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren smiled unhappily. ¡°Remember this, both of you. When you refine the Cracking Pill in the future, you must wrap the Energy Splitting Stone with your magic power. After you put it into the pill furnace, you must also seal the entire pill furnace with your magic power and seal the entire refining process.¡± ¡°Alright, this disciple will remember!¡± Miao Changsheng nodded obediently. At this moment, Cheng Xu was looking at the Energy Splitting Stone in a daze. He was secretly doubting his life. Previously, he was still curious about what kind of medicinal mineral the [Energy Splitting Stone I in the Cracking Pill form was. Now that he had seen the Energy Splitting Stone with his own eyes, he finally understood something. Cracking Pill, Transformation Pill, Energy Splitting Stone. Then, he thought of the strange energy contained in the Energy Splitting Stone. Good heavens, this isn¡¯t an Energy Splitting Stone, it¡¯s obviously Uranium Ore! Also, the Cracking Pill and the Core Transformation Realm, they might even cause nuclear fission in their bodies! In short, at this moment, Cheng Xus world view of cultivation hadpletely copsed.. Chapter 58 - 58: The True Word of Medicine Chapter 58: The True Word of Medicine Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Then wouldn¡¯t the subsequent fusion phase be nuclear fusion? The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more he doubted life. Speaking of which, was it really okay to use his own Jindan to carry out nuclear fission? Cheng Xu did not dare to continue cultivating. What if he identally blew himself up? Please, that was nuclear fission! It was not a game! ¡°Master, I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°Ask.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said with a strange look in his eyes. ¡°That¡­ After sessfully transforming into a core, would his magic power suddenly increase by hundreds or even thousands of times?¡± Cheng Xu asked weakly. Not really,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said with a smile. ¡°But the power of a spell performed with the power of the Core Transformation Realm can indeed be amplified by dozens of times. If one can practice it to the peak of the Core Transformation Realm, it is indeed possible to achieve a hundred times increase. Therefore, the Core Transformation Realm and the peak of the Core Formation Realm are twopletely different worlds.¡± ¡°Hundreds of times?¡± Miao Changsheng eximed. Cheng Xu basically confirmed his guess. The so-called Core Transformation stage was indeed a nuclear fission in the body, or apletely controble nuclear fission. This¡­ Was it really scientific? ¡°Come,e,e. Help me deal with those materials first.¡± The refinement of the Cracking Pill was veryplicated. Every process and step revealed a core concept: Seeking stability. Cheng Xu was extremely worried throughout the entire refining process. They were afraid that the furnace would explode. The explosion of a normal pill furnace was not a big deal, but the explosion of a cracking pill furnace was not a joke. Cheng Xu¡¯s tensed nerves only rxed a little after all the materials were thrown into the pill furnace and he used his magic power to seal the pill furnace. ¡°Master, what if this thing explodes?¡± Cheng Xu asked nervously. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve never encountered one before. But ording to some ancient records, the cracking pill furnace explosion seems very terrifying.¡± Daoist Master Chi Yao shook his head. ¡°Then you still dare to refine the Cracking Pill in your own sect?¡¯ Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. He could only say that his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was really magnanimous. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was secretly pleased with himself. ¡°Since I know that the Cracking Pill is astonishingly powerful, 1 naturally made ample preparations before refining it.¡± ¡°What preparations?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a method that I¡¯ve researched to release medicinal energy. Once something goes wrong, 1 can use this method to disperse the medicinal energy in the pill furnace and resolve the explosion.¡± While Cheng Xu was secretly surprised, he was skeptical. ¡°Can the explosion of the Cracking Pill be resolved?¡± ¡°What else? When I tried to refine the Cracking Pill, I failed several times before 1 managed to refine one,¡± Perfected Chi Yao replied without hesitation. ¡°So powerful?¡± Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng looked at Perfected Chi Yao eagerly. ¡°After refining the Cracking Pill, 1 will teach you the method of releasing the pill.¡± *** Half a monthter, the three Cracking Pills were safely produced amidst the cheers of the Medicine Celestial Valley. Fu Yunzi arrived as promised and left with satisfaction after receiving a Cracking Pill. As for the remaining two Cracking Pills, they were sealed in the sect¡¯s treasure vault. When Perfected Chi Yao received a massive amount of merit points, he further established his important position in the Medicine Celestial Valley. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng had also sessfully mastered the method of releasing pills under Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s guidance. It had to be said that his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was definitely an alchemy genius. Through reverse pharmacology thinking, he had actually concluded a set of methods to resolve the medicinal energy. Not only did itpletely prevent the urrence of furnace explosions, but it could even reverse the situation to a certain extent when there were some small mistakes in refining the medicine. Although it would lower the quality of the pill, it was still better than failing to refine it and wasting a cauldron of medicinal ingredients, right? In addition, Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng had benefited a lot from watching the whole process and Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s exnation and guidance. Especially after learning the pill release method, the application of [Medicine Refinement] had stepped onto a new level: [Medicine Refinement] [Pharmacology Level: Level 17] [Refining ability: Master] Putting it this way, Cheng Xu¡¯s current alchemy ability could already bepared to uncle-masters. Of course, there was still a certain gap between him and his uncles. It was just that they were basically on the same level. As for his master, Perfected Chi Yao, he was far from that. After learning the pill release method, Cheng Xu began to refine the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill. In the list of materials that Jian Yuxiang had given him previously, there were not only materials for Xiao Bao¡¯s substitute, but also several important materials for the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill. In addition to the three [Dragon Bone Grass] obtained from Yuntai Immortal¡¯s legacy as the main ingredient, the optimized form of the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing was ready. He had not been in a hurry to refine it previously because he wanted to wait until his refining ability had improved before refining it. After all, there were only three stalks of Dragon Bone Grass. Naturally, he had to pursue a higher quality as much as possible. However, he did not expect his refining ability to increase to the master level so quickly. Half a dayter, under Cheng Xu¡¯s Semi-Automatic refining, a cauldron of Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pills was sessfully produced. There were a total of three pills, all of which were high-grade! ¡°You¡¯re already at the Master level, but you still can¡¯t get any top-grade items?¡± Although the high-grade list of Refinement was already very strong, Cheng Xu was not satisfied with this result. Then, he didn¡¯t continue refining the other two furnaces and went to consult his master, Perfected Chi Yao. However, when he arrived at his master¡¯s cave abode, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. Chi Yao Zhenren sat cross-legged on the bed in high spirits. From time to time, he would spit out the word ¡°Medicine¡±, and an ancient seal character ¡°Medicine¡± vaguely flickered above his head. ¡°Holy sh*t!¡± Cheng Xu naturally understood what this was, and his heart was pounding. ¡°It really came out?¡± Perhaps this was the true genius of the alchemists. Cheng Xu was known as a pill refining genius because of the system cheat, while his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was a true pill refining genius. He was a grandmaster of medicine that was created by talent, hard work, and passion! No, the word ¡®grandmaster¡¯ was not enough. In Cheng Xu¡¯s opinion, his master, Perfected Chi Yao, waspletely worthy of the word ¡®Medicine Immortal¡¯ in the Medicine Celestial Valley. One had to know that Cheng Xu was a cheater. What kind of realm was it to be able to convince a cheater? Just like in a certain PUBG game, those big shots who couldplete the feat of killing immortals were really awesome! ¡°Haha, Little Cheng, you came at the right time. Look what I¡¯ve made!¡± Seeing Cheng Xue over, Chi Yao Zhenren was like a happy child who wanted to share his joy with others. ¡°Medicine. The True Word¡¯s of Medicine?¡± Uh,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren pondered and shook his head. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know if there¡¯s a ¡®medicine¡¯ word in the Nine Words True Word of Medicine, this set of mantra should be different from the real ¡®medicine¡¯ word.¡± Cheng Xu went forward curiously and waited for his master to continue exining. ¡°How can 1 tell you?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren organized his words excitedly. ¡°This set of medicine words that I¡¯vee up with should actually be called the Medicine Foundation Mantra.¡± ¡°Medicine base?¡± Cheng Xu was even more puzzled. The so-called medicine base referred to the most basic medicinal structure of a medicine that could produce an effect on the human body. It was a concept that was notmonly used in pharmacology. This was because the vast majority of medicinal pills would not involve changes at the medicinal Foundation Level. ¡°That¡¯s right. The two sets of mantras left behind by the founder are basically imitating the medicinal properties and effects. They¡¯re not the true medicinal properties, so they can only take effect in the body for a short period of time. The reason for this is because there¡¯s no medicinal base to support it,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren exined excitedly. ¡°So, 1 was wondering if 1 could simte the situation of the medicinal base with the mantra spell to achieve the true medicinal properties and effects.¡± Cheng Xu only understood half of it, but he could roughly understand Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s train of thought. ¡°Does that mean it can be used in conjunction with other mantras?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s what I mean.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren nodded excitedly. ¡°Unfortunately, this technique is not perfect yet. Some of the situations are different from what I expected, so 1 have to study it further.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly. ¡°You mean you can¡¯t use it now?¡± ¡°It can be used, but it doesn¡¯t have any effect. But I¡¯ve already found the problem and will be able to perfect it very soon. Oh right, is there anything you need from me?¡± Daoist Master Chi Yao said. ¡°Disciple has recently encountered some problems in refining medicine.¡± ¡°All, that¡¯s really rare. You actually have a time when you¡¯re confused.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s eyes lit up as if he had found the meaning of being a master. ¡°Disciple¡¯s pill refining ability has always been growing, but I¡¯ve never been able to refine top grade pills. Even those very simple pills can only be refined into high grade pills at most.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was slightly shocked, but he didn¡¯t know what he was shocked about. After calming down, he muttered, ¡°Come, refine a few pills for me to see.¡± Cheng Xu did not waste any time and directly used Semi-Automatic Medicine Refinement to give his master a live performance. In one go, he refined severalmonly seen medicinal pills. Without exception, they were all high-grade. Perfected Chi Yao looked at it from the beginning and seemed to understand something. ¡°It seems that it¡¯s simr to what I thought.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren smacked his lips and said, ¡°Your forging process is too standard and too formal. It¡¯s a little too mysterious, but itcks a little soul and a little temperature.¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. ¡°Soul? The temperature?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯ve been refining it strictly ording to the pharmacology from the beginning to the end, and there¡¯s almost no w.¡± ¡°In this case¡­ Isn¡¯t that right?¡± ¡°Yes and no. Pharmacology is alive, not dead. The knowledge of pharmacology that has been passed down from generation to generation is only a set of standard answers that are suitable for all elixirs. It is not the best solution for a single elixir. Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Cheng Xu suddenly understood. ¡°You mean that just by following the medicinal theory in the book, you can only refine high-grade pills?¡± ¡°Yes, if you want to refine a top-grade medicinal pill, you have to have a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of each medicinal pill.¡± ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master.¡± Cheng Xu thanked him joyfully. He was suddenly enlightened. The system gave him the option of Semi-Automatic Refining, not so that he could repeat the process of Fully Automatic Refining, but so that he could find the optimal solution for each pill. Chi Yao Zhenren nodded in gratification. ¡°If you want to refine a supreme-grade pill, you have to find a familiar understanding of the fundamentals of medicine. This understanding will be the foundation for you to form your own medicine path in the future.¡± ¡°Then how can i find my own Dao of medicine?¡± ¡°You can only rely on yourself to feel andprehend this.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren smiled. ¡°Just like how some people are used to using their left hand, some people are used to using their right hand, some people like sweet things, and some people like salty things. Every alchemist¡¯s path of medicine is different, but it must be the most suitable for them..¡± Chapter 59 - 59: Demon Suppression Martial Competition Chapter 59: Demon Suppression Martial Competition Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Cheng Xu was confused and did not understand. ¡°It¡¯s just like the same scenery. Different painters will have their own artistic conception and charm when they draw it. What you have to do is to find your own artistic conception and charm on the basis of pharmacology.¡± Disciples know how to send the blood. Cheng Xu took a deep breath and thanked him respectfully. Then, he hurried back to his cave abode and began to try. Seeing Cheng Xu leave with a face full of enlightenment, Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s face was full of gratification. It was a unique and strong sense of aplishment. ¡°Too fast, really too fast!¡± Chi Yao Zhenren clicked his tongue and sighed. Back then, the first time he asked his master this question was three years after he started learning alchemy. He did not expect his disciple to raise such a crucial question in just half a year. The speed was so fast that even he, as his master, felt that it was unreal. ¡°Perhaps this is a natural alchemist?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren sighed again and then turned his attention back to his medicine mantra. ¡°Hiss, It seems that I can¡¯t directly apply the medicine base to the mantra spell. I have to make some minor adjustments.¡± *** From that day on, Cheng Xu, this cheat yer, experienced the taste of failure in refining medicine for the first time. Since he wanted to explore his own medicine path, he naturally could not avoid experiencing repeated failed attempts. And each time he failed, it was all for the sake of spirit stones. After a few days, the 400,000 spirit stones he had were dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, a new month had arrived. After handing over the 20 sets of Array Disks to Jian Yuxiang, his family was instantly revived. If that¡¯s true, you have to pay for what you did.¡± Normal alchemists were trained withrge amounts of spirit stones, but he, a cheat yer, had never experienced the stage of burning money since he started refining medicine. Now, when he wanted to pursue supreme-grade medicinal pills, he finally could not escape the fate of burning money. If nothing unexpected happened, the same thing would happen in theter stages of weapon refinement, array formations, and talismans. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I can earn it back in the future.¡± With this conviction, he began to make out with Cheng Xu the boring life of refining medicine. *** Time flew by, and it was already the eve of the Martial Arts Competition. The younger generation of the various sects had long been rubbing their fists, wanting to show off in the fight. And because the various sects ¡®Martial Arts Competition¡¯ this time was in the midst of the fiendish path¡¯s turmoil, it had even been specially changed to the Demon Suppression Martial Competition. Strangely enough, ever since thest joint experiential learning, the demonic path had been quiet and low-key, except for one incident at the Magical Equipment Exposition. It was as if he was not in a hurry at all. This made the upper echelons of the righteous path sects very puzzled. One had to know that once the demonic path appeared in the past, they would impatiently start to expand wildly. But now, this group of fiends did not have anyrge-scale invasion or expansion movements. As the saying went, there must be something fishy going on when things were abnormal. The leaders of the various sects suspected that the demonic path was trying to do something big. Of course, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t pay attention to this. These few days, he basically buried his head in refining medicine in the cave abode, but in the end, he still could not refine a supreme-grade medicinal pill. ¡°Just a little more, just a little more!¡± ¡°Why is it always so close?¡± Looking at the four high-grade True Essence Pills that had just been refined, Cheng Xu could not help but fall into self-doubt. Miao Changsheng¡¯s voice came from outside the cave abode. ¡°Cheng Xu, hurry up. If you don¡¯t leave now, it¡¯ll be toote.¡± Aftering back to his senses, Cheng Xu packed his things and walked out of the cave. ¡°Speaking of which, where is this year¡¯s Martial Competition being held?¡± Cheng Xu asked as they walked. ¡°Cloud Sect, where else could it be?¡± ¡°Cloud Sect again?¡± Cheng Xu was speechless. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. The Cloud Sect was the leader of the righteous pathst time. In addition, they invited Senior Fu Yunzi to attend personally, so this time¡¯s martial artspetition can only be held at the Cloud Sect.¡± Miao Changsheng shrugged helplessly. ¡°Where¡¯s Master?¡± I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. I¡¯m going with us. Speaking of which, our master never attended such events in the past,¡± Miao Changsheng said. ¡°But isn¡¯t there a senior brother this time?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Cheng Xu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He had thought that his master would continue to stay in the Medicine Celestial Valley to study the ¡°True Word of Medicine¡±. When they arrived at the assembly point, the sect master, Immortal Dan Yang, and the elders were already in ce. The participating disciples, led by Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang, had also arrived. Before leaving, Immortal Dan Yang gave a motivational speech. In the end, he even emphasized Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and Jian Yuxiang, hinting that they should perform well and give the Medicine Celestial Valley some face. Even if the sect leader didn¡¯t say anything, Cheng Xu would still try his best. After all, he still wanted to get that Frost Rain Dew. ¡°Elder Chi Yao and I will be leading the team this time.¡± After Immortal Dan Yang finished speaking, he immediately summoned his cool treasure ship and carried everyone in the direction of the Cloud Sect. On the way, Cheng Xu¡¯s group of disciples couldn¡¯t help but discuss the uing Demon Suppression Martial Competition. ¡°I heard that the Cloud Sect has made quite a big fuss this time?¡± The Medicine Celestial Valley contestants had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and were filled with anticipation for the Demon Suppression Martial Competition. ¡°After all, it¡¯s his home ground, and he has a genius like Yan Changfeng. Naturally, it has to be more grand.¡± Tang Xuan smiled. Miao Changsheng couldn¡¯t help butin, ¡°It¡¯s like we¡¯re celebrating ahead of time, right?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. With Yan Changfeng¡¯s excellence, he does have the confidence to do so. As far as I know, Yan Changfeng will be able to break through to thete stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm soon,¡± Tang Xuan sighed helplessly. Hearing that, everyone could not help being greatly shocked. ¡°Really? He¡¯s already at thete-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too fast?¡± Cheng Xu was also shocked by this news. He could only say that Yan Changfeng, the number one prodigy of the Cloud Sect, was very valuable. ¡°Then the champion of this year¡¯s Martial Arts Competition is basically Yan Changfeng, right?¡± ¡°The probability is high, but it¡¯s not certain. After all, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu have all broken through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They can still fight Yan Changfeng,¡± Tang Xuan said with a smile. ¡°I heard that the three of them have made great breakthroughs in their cultivation techniques and spells recently.¡± Jian Yuxiang nodded in agreement. ¡°Tsk, Does that mean that the top four basically have nothing to do with our Medicine Celestial Valley?¡± Miao Changsheng smiled bitterly. ¡°That may not be the case.¡± Tang Xuan looked at Cheng Xu with a smile. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng, you should still have a chance to fight for it, right?¡± ¡°Cough cough, I¡¯ll try my best!¡± Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly. ¡°But I think Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Jian have a chance topete.¡± Hearing this, Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang looked at each other and smiled. They seemed to have some confidence. *** Cloud Mountains, Cloud Treading Summit. It was still a familiar ce and a familiar smell, but this time, the Cloud Treading Summit was obviously much grander than thest time. The entire Cloud-treading Mountain was decorated withnterns and streamers. The preparations were quite grand. Those who did not know better would think that the demonic path had already been eliminated. After the Medicine Celestial Valley members arrived, Perfected Luoyue personally came to wee them. Unfortunately, from the reactions of the other four sects, it was obvious that they didn¡¯t take the Medicine Celestial Valley seriously. Although the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples had yed a great role in the previous joint experiential learning, this was the Demon Suppression Martial Competition. It was apetition of individual strength, and the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples were clearly not enough. This point could be seen just from their cultivation. The other sects all had mid Foundation Establishment geniuses, while the highest cultivation in the Medicine Celestial Valley was only early Foundation Establishment. They were onpletely different levels. Thus, in the eyes of the various participating teams, the Medicine Celestial Valley was just a bystander. Before thepetition officially began, Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao went to pay a visit to Fu Yunzi under the lead of Perfected Luoyue. Cheng Xu and the other participating disciples were also arranged to their respective seats. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng.¡± Bai Ci¡¯er, who was in the Cloud Sect team, saw Cheng Xu at a nce and waved her little hand happily. Other than Bai Ci¡¯er, Yang Tianqi and Yan Changfeng also greeted Cheng Xu. Yang Tianqi could understand why Yan Changfeng would greet him. Could it be because his performance in thest experience was not bad? Although he was surprised, Cheng Xu still responded politely. However, Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s gnashing of her teeth was ruining the atmosphere. However, the more she acted like this, the more Cheng Xu felt pleased. When he thought about the possibility of facing Hu Jiaojiao in thepetition, he was a little excited! ¡°That¡¯s strange. Why are those people from the Scorching Sun Sect looking at Senior Sister Jian?¡± The Medicine Celestial Valley disciples looked at the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s team in confusion. Everyone from the Scorching Sun Sect, including Huyan Zan, looked at Jian Yuxiang from time to time. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Maybe he has some resentment towards our Jian family.¡± Jian Yuxiang looked at Cheng Xu with a smile. Hearing this, Tang Xuan could not help but feel a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s going on between the Jian Chamber of Commerce and the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Doesn¡¯t Senior Brother Tang know?¡± A Medicine Celestial Valley disciple exined, ¡°The Jian¡¯s Chamber of Commerceunched a multi-purpose Array Disk some time ago, which almost squeezed out the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s business.¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a thing? Isn¡¯t the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disk very powerful?¡± Tang Xuan asked in shock. ¡°It¡¯s quite powerful, but it¡¯s a pity that it can¡¯tpare with the Array Disks that the Jian Chamber of Commerce hasunched.¡± ¡°Not bad, Junior Sister Jian. Did your family rope in an expert?¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled lightly and secretly nced at Cheng Xu. ¡°No wonder the people from the Scorching Sun Sect don¡¯t look too happy,¡± Tang Xuan said in amazement. ¡°It turns out that their economic lifeline has been cut off. I heard that the profits from the Array Disk business ount for more than half of the annual profits of the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± ¡°Yeah, 1 didn¡¯t expect someone to break the monopoly of the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± ¡°Senior Sister Jian, if you have the chance, you have to help us introduce that expert.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and nodded. ¡®There¡¯s no one, there¡¯s no¡¯ While Cheng Xu was secretly embarrassed, he couldn¡¯t help but remind her, ¡°1 think the Scorching Sun Sect is going to kill you, Senior Sister, so you should be careful.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Junior Brother. Apart from Huyan Zan, I¡¯m confident that I can handle the others from the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled confidently. ¡°Is that so?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly surprised. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I can¡¯tpare to Junior Brother Cheng.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled meaningfully and turned to Tang Xuan. ¡°It¡¯s not just you, I¡¯m afraid Senior Martial Brother Tang has also made ample preparations this time.¡± ¡°I did make some preparations, but the specifics still depend on the actual battle.¡± Tang Xuan waved his hand and smiled. Seeing the two of them so confident, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. It turned out that everyone had been spiraling to death during this period of time, and only he was truly engaging in Buddhism. Seeing that the Martial Competition was approaching, he was still studying how to refine supreme-grade medicinal pills. ¡°Oh right, what are the rules of this Suppressing Demon Martial Competition?¡± He asked. ¡°ording to the rules of the previouspetition, the first round should be a draw and a duel between two people. Each person will fight three rounds, and those who win two will advance to the next round. I wonder if the rules will change this year.¡± Tang Xuan introduced.. Chapter 60 - 60: Going on the Stage Chapter 60: Going on the Stage Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion As he spoke, Fu Yunzi walked out, surrounded by the leaders of the various sects. ¡°Look, is that Senior Fu Yunzi?¡± ¡°Thepetition is about to begin. Sit up straight and don¡¯t embarrass the Divine Hall!¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that Senior Fu Yunzi would be able to personally attend this Martial Competition.¡± ¡°After all, he was once a disciple of the Cloud Sect, so it¡¯s reasonable for him toe and support the Cloud Sect.¡± ¡°I heard from my brothers in the Cloud Sect that Senior Fu Yunzi might want to take this opportunity to return to the Cloud Sect.¡± ¡°Hiss! If this is true, I¡¯m afraid that the Cloud Sect will solidify their position as the number one sect in Mini Southern Heaven!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. When Yan Changfeng bes the champion of the Martial Arts Competition, he will take the opportunity to announce the news of Fu Yunzi returning to the Cloud Sect. I¡¯m afraid that the Cloud Sect will soar to the sky!¡± Cheng Xu and the others were shocked when they heard that Fu Yunzi was going to return to the Cloud Sect. If that was really the case, the Cloud Sect would definitely be like the sun at noon. ¡°Weird. Didn¡¯t those old fogeys of the Cloud Sect say that they didn¡¯t want Fu Yunzi to return to the sect?¡± Tang Xuan was puzzled. Jian Yuxiang pondered for a moment. ¡°After all, Senior Fu Yunzi is already an expert who is about to transform into a core. In addition, there is the threat of the Devil Dao. It would be a little unreasonable if those old stubborn people of the Cloud Sect don¡¯t put down their prejudices.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. If you don¡¯t agree, Senior Fu Yunzi will destroy the Cloud Sect,¡± said Tang Xuan.¡± On the high tform, Fu Yunzi and the leaders of the various sects were already in position. The participating teams from the various sects below the stage also quieted down, waiting for the official opening of the Demon Suppression Martial Competition. ¡°Ahem, first of all, 1 would like to wee all the fellow daoists of the various sects to gather in our Cloud Sect again.¡± The Taoist Master on Cloud cleared his throat and solemnly said, ¡°Now that the demonic path is restless, as allies of the righteous path, we should eliminate the demons and protect the path, protecting the purend of Mini Southern Heaven.¡± Then, he said a lot of official statements. Finally, he got to the main point. ¡°I¡¯m honored to have invited Senior Fu Yunzi to attend the Demon Suppression Martial Competition this time. Now, I¡¯d like Senior Fu Yunzi to say a few words to everyone.¡± Fu Yunzi stood up with a faint smile and looked at the crowd below the stage. ¡°I feel extremely honored to have the honor of attending the ceremony today. Once upon a time, I also stood below the stage like everyone else¡­¡± Fu Yunzi said a few simple words and encouraged the young people to cultivate diligently. Thunderous apuse instantly erupted from the audience, especially from the Cloud Sect¡¯s participating teams. Their eyes were filled with admiration. Following that, Venerable Cloud Sect began to officially announce the rules of thepetition. It was basically the same as what Tang Xuan had said. The disciples of each sect would draw lots to fight in pairs. There were a total of five matches, and the winners of the three matches would advance to the next round. ¡°Let¡¯s wee the senior, Fu Yunzi.¡± Cloud Sect respectfully invited Fu Yunzi. Fu Yunzi chuckled and waved his sleeves. In an instant, a series of light balls condensed from magic power scattered below the stage. Like dandelions, they danced above the participating teams. The teams from the various sects looked at each other and began to grab the lottery balls in the air. Cheng Xu raised his hand and grabbed a ball of light. As soon as the ball of light reached his hand, it turned into a golden mark and was imprinted on his palm. ¡°Number nine.¡± To him, it didn¡¯t matter what he drew. However, it was different for the others. For example, Miao Changsheng, his junior brother, did not dare to open his palm after he caught the ball of light. Instead, he began to pray, ¡°Good luck, good luck. At least let me advance to the second round.¡± He was not the only one. The disciples of the various sects with average strength all looked worried. They were afraid that they would be unlucky and meet the people from the Milky Way Battleship. ¡°Number eleven.¡± Tang Xuan was very satisfied with his number. He turned to Jian Yuxiang and said, ¡°What¡¯s Junior Sister Jian¡¯s number?¡± ¡°Number twenty-seven.¡± Jian Yuxiang showed her palm. ¡°Is Junior Brother Chen number nine?¡± Tang Xuan nodded secretly. ¡°Just don¡¯t run into your own people.¡± At the same time, the drawing of lots had ended. Fu Yunzi waved his sleeves again, and a batch of light ball numbers appeared in the air, and they began to randomlybine in pairs. All of the contestants held their breaths. When all the numbers were matched, the audience instantly started discussing. Some were happy while others were worried. ¡°There are a total of five arenas in this martial artspetition, and they are equipped with a third-tier array formation to ensure that you can disy your strength to your heart¡¯s content.¡± After Fu Yunzi finished speaking, he gently waved his hand and moved the five matching light balls to the top of the five battle stages. Cheng Xu looked at [9-43]. He stood up calmly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be there.¡± ¡°I look forward to Junior Brother Cheng¡¯s triumphant return!¡± Jian Yuxiang, Tang Xuan, and the others sent their blessings. Cheng Xu made a reassuring gesture and leaped into the air onto the third ring. The other arenas also had people in their positions. On the grandstand, Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao sat together. When they saw Cheng Xu go on stage, they instantly became excited. ¡°Yo, yo, Little Cheng is on stage!¡± ¡°By the way, which sect is that number forty-three from?¡± ¡°It seems to be a disciple of the Mystic Arts Sect. He¡¯s at the early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. That¡¯s fine.¡± Daoist Chi Yao looked around and said.¡± The two Perfected Ones looked at each other and smiled, not worried at all. At this moment, Cheng Xu also saw his opponent on the third ring. He was an average-looking early-stage Foundation Establishment Mystic Arts Sect disciple who looked vaguely familiar. He should have participated in the previous joint experiential learning. ¡°Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s Cheng Xu, please guide me.¡± ¡°Chen Qianfang of the Mystic Arts Sect, please guide me!¡± Seeing that his opponent was a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley, Chen Qianfang couldn¡¯t hide the smile on his face. Yes, he smiled. He smiled confidently. ¡°Cheng Xu, right? I heard that you performed well in the joint experiential learningst time. If I remember correctly, you seem to be the disciple of that Daoist Master who ran away, right?¡± Chen Qian¡¯s eyes were mocking. When he said the words ¡®Daoist Master Runner¡¯, he even deliberately emphasized his tone. As soon as these words were said, the leaders on the stage could not help but feel a little embarrassed, especially Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao. ¡°This child is insensible, so please don¡¯t take it to heart, Fellow Daoist Crimson Glory.¡± the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect said awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Children¡¯s words have no fear!¡± Chi Yao Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, feeling helpless. After so many years, he was almost used to the nickname of the Daoist Runner. On the third ring, Cheng Xu frowned. Initially, he wanted to take it slow, but he didn¡¯t expect this bro to jump like this. Since that¡¯s the case, then don¡¯t me me for being impolite. With the order of the referee elder, the battle on the five arenas was about to start. Chen Qianfang curled his lips confidently and took the lead to attack Cheng Xu. Talismans flew out of his hands and turned into fireballs, ice arrows, and other spells. ¡°Just this?¡± Cheng Xu sneered. He activated his Protective Upstanding Qi and used the Military Fist (Subduing Dragon Fist) to attack. Bang! The fireballs and ice arrowsnded on his Protective Upstanding Qi as if they were scratching an itch. Seeing Cheng Xu flying towards him, Chen Qianfeng was shocked and subconsciously threw out a talisman in an attempt to dodge. However, in the next second, dark green poisonous vines grew crazily from under his feet, binding him tightly on the spot. Cheng Xu¡¯s fist was already close at hand. Boom! The fist that was shining with a dark golden light hit Chen Qianfang¡¯s stinky mouth. Chen Qianfang let out an inarticte scream and fell to the ground, his teeth falling out. At this moment, the audience couldn¡¯t help but exim.. Chapter 61 - 61: Taunt Chapter 61: Taunt Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The battles in the other arenas were obviously not as exciting as Cheng Xu¡¯s. For a moment, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to the third arena. Seeing Chen Qianfang being beaten up like this, the members of the Mystic Arts Sect below the stage were both shocked and indignant. ¡°Senior Brother Chen?!¡± ¡°Damn it, Senior Brother Chen underestimated the enemy!¡± The contestants from the other sects were all surprised. Clearly, they did not expect the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples to have suchbat strength. Looking at the high tform again, the expression of the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was clearly not too good. Iluyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, gloated. ¡°Tsk tsk, looks like my son is right. Cheng Xu is indeed powerful.¡± Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao looked at each other and were secretly pleased with themselves. However, in the next second, the leaders of the various sects were once again attracted by the situation on the battlefield. He had thought that Chen Qianfang was just underestimating the enemy and that he would be able to turn the situation around quickly. However, what happened next was clearly different from what they had expected. Under Cheng Xu¡¯s military boxing training, Chen Qianfang did not have the strength to fight back at all. When he finally stood up, Cheng Xu¡¯s agile figure circled behind him and once again knocked him to the ground. The contestants from the various sects below the stage widened their eyes in shock. Even Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu could not help but show shocked expressions. Chen Qianfang¡¯s strength was not bad, but in front of Cheng Xu, he was like a sandbag, being thrown around. ¡°This seems to be our outer sect¡¯s Dragon Subduing Fist and Flowing Cloud Steps, right?¡± On the Cloud Sect¡¯s side, some people recognized Cheng Xu¡¯s move. Yan Changfeng and the others took a closer look. It seemed to be true. ¡°Strange, are the Dragon Subduing Fist and Cloud Steps really that powerful?¡± The people from the Cloud Sect were incredulous. ¡°Junior Brother Yang, what do you think?¡± Yan Changfeng looked at Yang Tianqi, who was beside him. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the Dragon Subduing Fist and the Flowing Cloud Steps of the outer sanctum, but they are obviously much more powerful than the original Dragon Subduing Fist and Flowing Cloud Steps. It seems that they have integrated their own insights and understandings on the basis of the Dragon Subduing Fist and the Flowing Cloud Steps.¡± ¡°Really? He¡¯s only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he¡¯s already starting to refine martial arts techniques?¡± ¡°What kind of joke is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed impossible. He should have received some advice from an expert. But which expert would have nothing better to do than to teach such low-end martial arts techniques?¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. ¡°It¡¯s probably Perfected Chi Yao. Only he has the time to do this.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone expressed their agreement. Not only them, but the leaders of the various sects on the stage also thought so. They looked at Chi Yao Zhenren, not knowing whether tough or cry. ¡°Fellow Daoist Chi Yao, you¡¯re really alright. You actually still have the time to ponder over these low-end spell techniques.¡± ¡°If you really have nothing to do, I have quite a few precious materials here. Please help me refine a few cauldrons of pills.¡± Facing everyone¡¯s strange gazes, Chi Yao Zhenren was confused. What was going on? Why was he being med? What a joke. He hadn¡¯t even taught Cheng Xu how to refine medicine, alright? On the third ring, Chen Qianfang could no longer be described as miserable. He waspletely pressed against the ground. The reason why Cheng Xu used the Subduing Dragon Fist to deal with this fellow was to torture him more. If it was any other move, such as the True Art of Medicine, the Scarlet Fire and White me, or the Mystic Water Art, this fellow would probably be instantly killed. ¡°Damn it, I¡¯ll fight you¡­Ah¡­¡± Chen Qianfang finally managed to catch his breath. Just as he shouted out half a sentence, he was kicked to the ground by a foot that came from the sky, followed by another round of beating. In this situation, the contestants from the various sects couldn¡¯t help but look at Chen Qianfang sympathetically. Only the expressions of the people from the Mystic Arts Sect were a little ugly. ¡°Preposterous! This person is obviously doing this on purpose!¡± ¡°F*ck, if he has the guts, don¡¯t run into me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat the sh*t out of him.¡± ¡°F*ck, this is simply riding on our Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s head and taking a dump!¡± Xue Lingyu¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together, and her expression was uncertain. ¡°If you¡¯re going to face this person next, it¡¯s best not to underestimate him. This person¡¯s strength is far more powerful than you think.¡± ¡°Senior Sister¡¯s words are a little too much. How powerful can a mere Medicine Celestial Valley disciple be?¡± At this moment, a beautiful girl beside him said, ¡°Senior Sister is right. Big Brother Cheng is indeed very powerful. He¡¯s different from the other Medicine Celestial Valley disciples.¡± ¡°Junior Sister Luo, why are you also speaking up for that person?¡± ¡°Because when we fell into the hands of the Devil Dao, it was Big Brother Cheng who broke into the enemy camp and saved us.¡± When she said this, the people from the Mystic Arts Sect were slightly shocked. The matches in the other four arenas had already ended. Only the third arena, where the battle was the most intense, was not over yet. Chen Qianfang had already been beaten into a pulp. He had lost all his arrogance and wanted to admit defeat, but Cheng Xu did not give him the chance to speak. Even his mouth was beaten crooked. On the high tform, Perfected Chi Yao coughed lightly as he had just gotten an advantage. ¡°Ahem, the Demon Suppression Martial Competition values harmony. That¡¯s enough.¡± After hearing his master¡¯s reminder, Cheng Xu finally stopped torturing the noobs and casually kicked Chen Qianfang back to the Mystic Art Sect team. ¡°As a person, you must have a heart of reverence. In the future, think before you speak.¡± Cheng Xu looked coldly at the Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s contestants. After giving them a warning, he swaggered off the stage. Cheng Xu¡¯s actions could be said to be full of mockery. The people from the Mystic Arts Sect were clearly angered to the point of suffocation. Even Xue Lingyu¡¯s expression was a little stiff. There was nothing they could do. Cheng Xu¡¯s actions were clearly provoking all of them. ¡°All¡­ This kid is too arrogant!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you just defeat Senior Brother Chen? Did he really think that he was invincible?¡± ¡°If we meet him in the next wave, we¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson!¡± Did Cheng Xu care? He did not care. When he returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley team, he immediately received praise from his fellow disciples. Miao Changsheng, his junior brother, gave Cheng Xu a thumbs up. ¡°That¡¯s great, Senior Brother! That¡¯s so satisfying!¡± ¡°You should work harder too. Don¡¯t embarrass our Medicine Celestial Valley!¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and returned to his seat. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother. I¡¯ve asked around. The opponent is just a disciple of the Divine Hall who has just established his foundation.¡± Miao Changsheng said confidently. While they were talking andughing, Fu Yunzi had already moved the five pairs of light balls for the second round to the top of the arena. Jian Yuxiang and the other two Medicine Celestial Valley disciples stood up and went on stage. Coincidentally, Jian Yuxiang¡¯s opponent was another disciple of the Mystic Arts Sect. After the opponent went up on stage, he was obviously angry and threatened to show the Medicine Celestial Valley the power of their Mystic Arts Sect. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t even withstand three rounds of the Mystic Water Mantra and was easily dealt with by Jian Yuxiang. This caused a wave of exmations from the audience. Even the four prodigies of the Milky Way Battleship couldn¡¯t help but take a second look at Jian Yuxiang. ¡°This girl from the Jian family is not bad!¡± Among the Shenluo Hall team, Liu Qiao clicked his tongue in surprise. Everyone from the Divine Hall agreed. Different from Cheng Xu¡¯s deliberate concealment, Jian Yuxiang¡¯s Mystic Water Mantra immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Although the other two disciples of the Medicine Celestial Valley lost thepetition, Cheng Xu and Jian Yuxiang had already proven the strength of the Medicine Celestial Valley and made it the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. On the high tform, Immortal Dan Yang couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°Hahaha, Xiangxiang Be, this girl, did not disappoint this old master. She is bing more and more proficient in using the Mystic Water Form!¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren also looked pleased and proud. The two of them were just short of writing the words ¡®hold their heads high¡¯ on their faces.. Chapter 62 - 62: The Sword Shakes the Cloud Sect Chapter 62: The Sword Shakes the Cloud Sect Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion All along, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples had been adept at refining medicine, but when had they ever had such a dazzling performance? Even Fu Yunzi praised Jian Yuxiang¡¯s performance. ¡°This girl from the Medicine Celestial Valley is not bad. She¡¯s able toprehend such a technique at such a young age. Her future is limitless.¡± ¡°To be able to use the Mystic Water Mantra to this extent is indeed rare.¡± Daoist Master of Cloud Sect agreed. Hearing their evaluation, Perfected Dan Yang and Chi Yao were naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts. Below the stage. Jian Yuxiang had already returned to the team, winning the praise and cheers of Cheng Xu and the others. The other matches in the arena also ended one after another. However,pared to Jian Yuxiang¡¯s match, the match seemed a little mediocre. Soon, it was the third wave of contestants. Tang Xuan and Miao Changsheng were among them. Unlike Jian Yuxiang¡¯s performance, Tang Xuan¡¯s performance was more stable. He didn¡¯t have any eye-catching moves, but he won very easily. On the other hand, Miao Changsheng¡¯s Qi word mantra caused quite a stir. After all, many people present had seen Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s medicinal mantra with their own eyes. ¡°Whoa, isn¡¯t this Fellow Daoist Chi Yao¡¯s Qi Word Mantra?¡± The Divine Hall Master looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao in surprise. Chi Yao Zhenren waved his hand and smiled. ¡°The grandmaster¡¯s medicine mantra was created based on the theory of medicine. Changsheng¡¯s talent in refining medicine is not bad. It¡¯s only natural that he gets twice the result with half the effort whenprehending it.¡± ¡°With the help of this secret technique, your sect¡¯s future is promising!¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was envious. Fu Yunzi was even more curious about the truth of the Medicine Law, ¡°This mantra of the Medicine Celestial Valley is indeed profound. It can actually directly disrupt the cirction of the opponent¡¯s magic power. Back then, I heard from Master that the Medicine Celestial Valley had a powerful spell inheritance. 1 didn¡¯t expect that this inheritance would be able to see the light of day again.¡± ¡°Senior Fu Yunzi, you tter me.¡± Perfected Dan Yang replied modestly. ¡°In my opinion, if your sect¡¯s medicinal technique mantra can beprehended to a certain level, it can probably bepared to the Cloud Sect¡¯s Flying Meteor Sword.¡± Fu Yunzi said meaningfully. Upon hearing this, Dan Yang and Chi Yao couldn¡¯t help but feel overwhelmed. ¡°Senior, you must be joking. How can an unorthodox technique like the secret medicine technique bepared to the supreme sword technique of the Cloud Sect?¡± Fu Yunzi smiled and didn¡¯t say anything else. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see the extraordinariness and power of the true medicinal technique. In the arena, although Miao Changsheng had the help of the Qi word mantra, he still had a hard time winning. In the subsequent matches, the elites of the various sects appeared one after another, causing the entire stadium to cheer. Yan Changfeng, Liu Qiao, Huyan Zan, and Xue Lingyu truly lived up to their titles as ¡®Heaven¡¯s Pride¡¯. They had finished off their opponents cleanly and cleanly in every match, leaving their opponents defenseless. On the stage, Fu Yunzi was also secretly adjusting the match list ording to the yers performance to prevent the top yers from colliding with each other. Unknowingly, Cheng Xu also weed his next few matches. With one hand, Dragon Subduing Fist, and the other, Flowing Cloud Steps, they were invincible. They won four consecutive battles, causing heated discussions among the audience. By the fifth round, no one dared to doubt Cheng Xu¡¯s strength. The elites of the various sects frowned and their hearts were solemn. ¡°This guy can¡¯t be thinking of relying on these two moves to fight until the end, right?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? When his opponent¡¯s level rises, his two moves would be nothing!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if that brother from the Cloud Sect can do something.¡± ¡°I know that guy. He¡¯s one of the best among the younger generation of the Cloud Sect.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. How can he continue to show off?¡± In the arena, Cheng Xu sized up the opponent in front of him with great interest. He had finally met an opponent from the Cloud Sect This person¡¯s name was Zhou Xing. He had three wins and one loss in the previous four matches and had already advanced to the next round. From his performance in the previous few matches, his strength was not bad. ¡°I heard that Brother Cheng was once an outer sect disciple of our Cloud Sect. I wonder how your skills have been after you went to the Medicine Celestial Valley?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Cheng Xuughed. ¡°I¡¯ve long wanted to experience the sword techniques of the Cloud Sect.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhou Xing¡¯s lips curled into a confident smile. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll let you experience the power of the Cloud Sect¡¯s sword technique!¡± As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand hummed, and a sharp sword light flew towards Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu activated his Protective Upstanding Qi and used Flowing Cloud Steps to meet the attack. It had to be said that the Cloud Sect¡¯s sword technique did have some tricks up its sleeves. The optimized Cloud Steps were somewhat unable to dodge in time, especially after the other party used the second sword technique, which left Cheng Xu with nowhere to hide. Although the Dragon Subduing Fist was fierce, it was only suitable for closebat, and Zhou Xing¡¯s sword art made it impossible for him to get close. ¡°Show me your true ability. It¡¯s too unrealistic to think that you can defeat me with just a set of fist techniques and movement techniques!¡± As Zhou Xing sneered, the momentum of his sword suddenly changed. Several sword shadows shot out from behind him, aiming for all the vital points on Cheng Xu¡¯s body. Cheng Xu had no choice but to take out his +5 flying sword. ng! Once the Cloud Sword Art was unleashed, the sword momentum flowed like water, easily dissolving Zhou Xing¡¯s sword shadow attack. For a moment, everyone on and off the stage eximed in surprise. ¡°Cloud Sword Technique? This guy had actuallyprehended the Cloud Sword Scripture!¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t he an outer disciple of the Cloud Sect before? I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll be able toe into contact with sword scriptures, right?¡± ¡°It seems to be the sword technique rewarded by thest joint experiential learning.¡± ¡°Oh right, 1 almost forgot.¡± Unlike the crowd from the other sects, the disciples from the Cloud Sect looked at each other in shock and disbelief. One had to know that the sword techniques that the Cloud Sect could take out as rewards were basically tough bones. Even if they were rewarded, the disciples of other sects might not be able to master them. The Cloud Sword Technique was the hardest bone among them. Even within the Cloud Sect, not many people could master it. ¡°This¡­ How was this possible? Wasn¡¯t it said that the Cloud Sword Technique was very difficult to cultivate?¡± ¡°Cheng Xu has actuallyprehended the Cloud Sword Technique and seems to be very familiar with it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing strange about it. The difficulty of cultivating the Cloud Sword Technique increases with each level.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s only one level, it¡¯s already very powerful, right? After all, how long has it been since thest joint experiential learning?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, was he really just an outer sect disciple before?¡± Yan Changfeng frowned and could not help but nce at Hu Jiaojiao beside him. He then looked at the reactions of the other contestants and felt helpless. From the moment he saw Cheng Xu¡¯s performance at the Jade Pure School, he knew that this day woulde. The more outstanding Cheng Xu¡¯s performance was, the more outsiders would think that the Cloud Sect had no foresight and that there was something wrong with their system. Not to mention outsiders, even he began to doubt why Cheng Xu was only an outer sect disciple. Because from Cheng Xu¡¯s current performance, he waspletely qualified to enter the inner sect. On the spectator stand, the Taoist Master and the elders of the Cloud Sect were even more embarrassed. ¡°Tsk tsk, as expected of a former outer sect disciple of the Cloud Sect. Your talent in sword scripture is quite good!¡± The Shenluo Hall¡¯s Sect Leader teased with a hint of sarcasm, ¡°As far as I know, this Cloud Sword Technique seems to be very difficult toprehend. Anyway, that kid Yue Yang still hasn¡¯t figured out the way.¡± ¡°Wang Xiaolun is the same.¡± Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, echoed, ¡°1 thought that there was something wrong with the sword technique that Cloud Sect sent me. Now, it seems that the kid is disappointing.¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect nodded in agreement. ¡°That girl Han Yue has mastered the first level of the sword scripture, but she¡¯s not as skilled as Cheng Xu.¡± Although Fu Yunzi was a little surprised, he did not have much of a reaction. He simply asked about Cheng Xu¡¯s situation. ¡°Interesting. It¡¯s somewhat simr to my situation.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled teasingly and inadvertently nced at the few white-haired elders of the Cloud Sect behind him. ¡°Little Uncle-Master must be joking. How can this child bepared to you?¡± Daoist Master Cloud Sect smiled apologetically. Fu Yunzi smiled but didn¡¯t say anything, but he paid more attention to Cheng Xu. As for Dan Yang and Chi Yao, they were already overjoyed. They did not say anything and quietly watched Daoist Master Cloud Sect¡¯s reaction. On the stage, Zhou Xing was simrly shocked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Brother Cheng to haveprehended the Cloud Sword Technique. Unfortunately, the Cloud Sword Technique is only powerful at the fourth and fifth levels.¡± After calming down, Zhou Xing no longer held back and used his strongest move. ¡°I¡¯d like to see if your Cloud Sword Technique can withstand my Waning Moon Sword Technique!¡± Zhou Xing¡¯s sword moves changed rapidly, drawing out sword lights that resembled the waning moon in the air. The power of each sword light rose steadily. Cheng Xu used the firstyer of the Cloud Sword Technique to parry a few times, but it was extremely strenuous. He could only use the secondyer of the Cloud Sword Technique. The second level of the Cloud Sword Technique caused an uproar. Zhou Xing¡¯s pupils constricted. He had no choice but to seize the opportunity to attack and end the battle quickly! ¡°Heavens, that guy actuallyprehended the second level of the Cloud Sword Technique?¡± ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Everyone from Cloud Sect, both on and off the stage, widened their eyes. They could not believe that Cheng Xu couldprehend the Cloud Sword Technique to the second level. Even Perfected Luoyue, who hadn¡¯t been optimistic about Cheng Xu, had a hint of surprise sh in her eyes. Bai Ci¡¯er¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched. Only Hu Jiaojiao looked like she was going crazy. She found it hard to ept. At the same time, under Zhou Xing¡¯s rapid attack, Cheng Xu¡¯s sword technique suddenly changed. A sword aura that was like a sea of clouds appeared and broke Zhou Xing¡¯s Waning Moon Sword Technique in an instant. Then, under Zhou Xing¡¯s incredulous gaze, the sword swept out. ¡°No. The third level!¡± Zhou Xing¡¯s eyes widened in horror. He could not withstand the churning aura of the sea of clouds at all. With a muffled groan, he fell off the stage and staggered for a long time before stabilizing himself. A stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The Cloud Sect finally couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. Even Fu Yunzi¡¯s eyes instantly focused. ¡°Good boy, this move of the Cloud Sea Ripping is very well-controlled!¡± Fu Yunzi, who had also mastered the Cloud Sword Technique, could tell at a nce that Cheng Xu¡¯s move, the Churning Clouds, was not as simple as just mastering it. Then, he looked at Daoist Master of Cloud Sect on the side. His expression had already stiffened. He gritted his teeth and looked at Elder Hu, remaining silent. To be able toprehend the Cloud Sword Technique to the third level in such a short period of time, he couldpletely be called a genius of the sword path. However, such a disciple had actually been kept in the outer sect by them. In the end, he had even been expelled from the sect because of some small matter. Previously, when he had learned that Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in alchemy was heaven-defying, he had reluctantly epted it. After ail, the Cloud Sect did not pay much attention to their ability in alchemy. It was a pity that the Medicine Celestial Valley had picked up on them. But now, after seeing Cheng Xu cultivate the Cloud Sword Technique to the third level in a short period of time, his mentality really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°I say, Cloud Sect, is there a problem with your Cloud Sect recruiting disciples?¡± ¡°What?¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was puzzled. ¡°How could you throw such an outstanding genius in the Way of the Sword in the outer sect? Or is it that such a level of talent in the Way of the Sword is not enough to catch the attention of the Cloud Sect?¡± Taoist Master of Cloud Sect¡¯s face was ashen. Just as the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect had said, this was no longer a problem solely with Elder Hu and Hu Jiaojiao. Instead, it was a problem that arose from the source of the recruitment and selection of disciples. It was his problem as the sect master! Chapter 63 - 63: A Spell of Truth Chapter 63: A Spell of Truth Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Faced with Youngest Uncle Fu Yunzi¡¯s questioning gaze, Daoist Master of Cloud Sect felt ashamed. ¡°Please rest assured, Youngest Uncle. After the Martial Competition ends, 1 will definitely reorganize the sect.¡± Fu Yunzi didn¡¯t say anything. He just turned around indifferently. The contestants below the stage had already been shocked beyond words by Cheng Xu. One had to know that Cheng Xu had never used the moves of the Medicine Celestial Valley until now. Just relying on a few moves of the Cloud Sect, he had achieved a total of five victories. One could imagine how valuable it was. Cheng Xu, who had returned to the waiting area, became the center of attention. Even Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, and the other three had listed Cheng Xu as their opponent. The first round of thepetition wasing to an end, and the elites of the various sects had all advanced. On the Medicine Celestial Valley side, Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and Jian Yuxiang naturally advanced steadily. Miao Changsheng won thest round with difficulty and barely advanced with a record of three wins out of five. Miao Changsheng was satisfied with the result. But Cheng Xu and the other two obviously wouldn¡¯t stop there. After a short break, Fu Yunzi and the leaders of the sects sorted out the list of people who had advanced to the second round. A total of 47 people from the five sects had advanced to the second round. The Cloud Sect had the most people, followed by the Scorching Sun Sect. Although only four people from the Medicine Celestial Valley had advanced,pared to the previous results, it was already unprecedented. After the big shots on the stage gave their generous speeches, the second round of thepetition began. Simr to the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s previous test, the second round of thepetition used the arena system. There were a total of twelve rings on the field, but there were no clear numbers. The contestants who stood on the twelve rings in the end advanced to the third round. After Fu Yunzi announced the start of thepetition, the disciples of the various sects were still polite and modest. Cheng Xu was rather speechless. Seeing that no one was going up the stage after a long time, he decisively flew into the arena and upied one of the arenas amidst the uproar. ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. Isn¡¯t it boring to decline?¡± The crowd on and off the stage was stunned. They obviously did not expect Cheng Xu to be the first to go onstage. One had to know that this was a group arena. The earlier one went on stage, the more losses they would suffer. Even if Cheng Xu had performed well before, he shouldn¡¯t be so arrogant, right? ¡°Hiss, Cheng Xu is a little arrogant, isn¡¯t he?¡± Huyan Lie teased as he looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao. Dan Yang and Chi Yao smiled without saying a word, as if they were very confident in Cheng Xu. Everyone was curious. At the same time, following Cheng Xu¡¯s lead, the contestants from the various sects no longer stood on ceremony. Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, Xue Lingyu, and the others went up on stage one after another, each upying a seat in the arena. In just a short while, the twelve arenas were filled. ¡°Brother Cheng, how have you been?¡± Wang Xiaolun stood proudly in the ring next door and winked at Cheng Xu. ¡°1 knew you would definitely enter the third round.¡± Cheng Xu smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. After the arena was upied, the yers who went on stageter had to attack the arena. Anyone with a brain would definitely not choose those four mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. In the remaining eight arenas, they were all like Wang Xiaolun, the second and third of the various sects. Inparison, Cheng Xu had be the softest persimmon among them. Many yers were eager to try and snatch Cheng Xu¡¯s arena. However, there were also some people who knew Cheng Xu¡¯s strength and did not dare to choose him. As a result, Cheng Xu quickly weed his first challenger. ¡°Wang Tianheng of the Mystic Arts Sect, please guide me!¡± Because of Cheng Xu¡¯s previous mockery, the Mystic Arts Sect disciples were filled with resentment towards him and wanted to dampen his spirit. Seeing Wang Tianheng step forward to challenge Cheng Xu, Wang Xiaolun, who was in the next ring, could not help but blurt out, ¡°Brother Cheng, it¡¯s not that 1 want to criticize you, but if you had shown more strength in thest round, you wouldn¡¯t have been treated as a pushover. Listen to me, it¡¯s time to show your fangs!¡± Cheng Xu looked at Wang Xiaolun teasingly. ¡°Brother Wang, you should worry about yourself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, not many people dare to challenge me. Uh¡­¡± Wang Xiaolun was stunned on the spot. Jian Yuxiang looked around and slowly walked up to Wang Xiaolun¡¯s ring. ¡°Brother Wang, please give me some advice.¡± ¡°Are you sure Sister Jian wants to challenge me?¡± Wang Xiaolun¡¯s expression was strange. ¡°I¡¯m not the kind of person who likes to destroy flowers ruthlessly.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and said again, ¡°Please advise me.¡± At this moment, not only Wang Xiaolun, but the audience on and off the stage were also stunned. After all, Wang Xiaolun was a genius in the Scorching Sun Sect, second only to Huyan Zan. Cheng Xu was deep in thought. Although Wang Xiaolun was a fool when he saw a beautiful woman, his strength was still there. Jian Yuxiang challenging Wang Xiaolun right away was too subtle and rash. In his confusion, he had already begun to shout impatiently at Wang Tianheng. ¡°What are you waiting for? If you don¡¯t dare to fight, then get lost obediently, lest you suffer physical pain!¡± Cheng Xu nced at Wang Tianheng, ready to finish this guy off quickly. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it directly.¡± Wang Tianheng grunted and formed a seal with his hands. Golden seals appeared around his body and he suddenly attacked Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu was unmoved. He stood where he was and said softly, ¡°Qi!¡± In the next moment. A huge ancient seal character ¡°Qi¡± appeared above Cheng Xu, exuding a shocking pressure. As soon as the Qi word was spoken, the entire ce fell silent. The crowd on and off the stage all eximed and looked at him. Wang Tianheng, who was still full of confidence a second ago, had his true energy reverse flow in the next second. His blood and Qi surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a muffled groan. He copsed halfway through his attack on Cheng Xu, looking at Cheng Xu as if he had seen a ghost. With Cheng Xu¡¯s current level of alchemy, how could Wang Tianheng be able to contend against the might of the Medicine Technique Truths? Before everyone could react, Wang Tianheng was already kicked off the stage by Cheng Xu with a scream. ¡°Done.¡± Cheng Xu brushed his wrinkled robe and looked at the ring next door with interest. At this time, Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang had not started fighting yet. Both of them looked at Cheng Xu in a daze. ¡°Why are you looking at me? Let¡¯s fight!¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. After the two of them regained their senses, they began to officially fight. At this moment, the crowd on and off the stage was still in shock from the Qi Word Mantra. Not many people paid attention to the battle between Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang. ¡°Was that the mantra of the Medicine Celestial Valley? Why was it different from Miao Changsheng¡¯s?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too big¡­ isn¡¯t that too big?¡± ¡°Wang Tianheng had no ability to resist at all. He was directly paralyzed on the stage.¡± ¡°What a terrifying spell! Was this really the inheritance of the Medicine Celestial Valley? Why does it feel like it¡¯s even more terrifying than the legacies of our four great sects!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same qi word mantras, but the difference in power is so great?¡± On the other arenas, the paragons of the four sects looked at each other in shock, their expressions unprecedentedly solemn. ¡°This mantra¡­ It seemed to be several times stronger than when he was on Heavenly Dragon Mountain!¡± Liu Qiao¡¯s expression was uncertain. ¡°Although it¡¯s not as good as Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s qi word mantra, it¡¯s still very terrifying.¡± ¡°I heard that the medicinal technique mantra is improved by the level of alchemy. In that case, Cheng Xu¡¯s alchemy ability has probably exceeded our imagination, but he has only joined the Medicine Celestial Valley for half a year.¡± Xue Lingyu analyzed in bewilderment. Huyan Zan was shocked for a long time before he looked at Yan Changfeng teasingly. ¡°Brother Yan, I¡¯m afraid your position as the champion is not very stable!¡± Yan Changfeng took a deep breath and did not say anything. However, the way he looked at Cheng Xu became much more serious. Although he was very confident in himself, the terrifying talent disyed by Cheng Xu had already exceeded his imagination. All along, he had been in a state of loneliness among the younger generation of Mini Nantian. However, Cheng Xu¡¯s appearance made him feel a trace of excitement that he had never felt before.. Chapter 64 - 64: Hu Jiaojiao’s Interrogation Chapter 64: Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s Interrogation Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion However, what concerned him more was the matter of Cheng Xu being expelled from the Cloud Sect. If he could stay in the Cloud Sect, he would definitely be his right-hand man and add another top-notch expert to the sect. However, such an outstanding talent was buried in the outer sect of the sect. He was even expelled from the Cloud Sect because of some trivial matters. Now, it seemed that with Cheng Xu¡¯s talent, even if he didn¡¯t enter the Medicine Celestial Valley, he could still be a top itinerant cultivator! At the thought of this, Yan Changfeng¡¯s gaze unconsciously locked onto Hu Jiaojiao, who was below the arena. In the spectator stands, the leaders of the various sects looked at each other, unable to calm down for a long time. Only Dan Yang and Chi Yao were beaming with joy. ¡°What a good Medicine Truth!¡± Fu Yunzi¡¯s eyes shone brightly, revealing a never-before-seen excitement. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve underestimated the potential of the medicinal technique¡¯s mantra.¡± ¡°Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in refining medicine is indeed without a doubt.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren couldn¡¯t help but show off. Elder Hu and Elder Luoyue, who were seated behind the spectator stands, hadplicated expressions on their faces. Who would have thought that an abandoned disciple who had been expelled by the Cloud Sect would be like a dragon swimming into the sea after entering the Medicine Celestial Valley, disying such astonishing momentum? ¡°Sigh!¡± Elder Hu patted the armrest of his chair and sighed. As for Daoist Master of Cloud Sect, his face had long turned ashen. He could only stubbornlyfort himself. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that this child would have such talent in the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s inheritance.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± Perfected Dan Yang agreed. ¡°This child was born to be a disciple of our Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± The leaders of the various sects naturally heard the stubborn words of the Taoist Master of the Cloud Sect and began to speak sarcastically. ¡°Brother, are there any disciples in your outer sect that you don¡¯t like? Why don¡¯t you send them to me to try?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Cloudstep. 1 think there are many good seedlings in the outer sect of your Cloud Sect that are suitable for our Scorching Sun Sect.¡± In the arena, Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang were locked in a battle. A few other battles broke out in the other arenas. Jian Yuxiang¡¯s use of the Mystic Water Form was superb, and Cheng Xu was gratified to see it. After all, he could be considered half a teacher to Jian Yuxiang in the Mystic Water Form. On the other hand, Tang Xuan was challenging a Shenluo Hall disciple. Judging from the situation, the chances of winning were quite high. As for Miao Changsheng, who was among the crowd of attackers, he walked around silently for a while before returning to the rest area. With his strength, it was already very difficult for him to enter the second round. It was better to forget about attacking the arena. ¡°Yo, Bai Ci¡¯er isn¡¯t bad either?¡± Turning his gaze, he saw that Bai Ci¡¯er was having a heated fight with a female disciple of the Mystic Arts Sect, and she seemed to have the potential to take her down. Yang Tianqi didn¡¯t back down and sessfully took over one of the arenas. His gaze returned to Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang. After Wang Xiaolun started to exert his strength, Jian Yuxiang gradually began to show signs of weakness. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Sister Jian to be so powerful. It¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s still a gap between us.¡± Wang Xiaolun had just gained the upper hand when he began to feel inted. ¡°To be honest, our Scorching Sun Sect is very interested in that Array Master. How about this¡­ If I win, 1¡¯11 have to trouble you to introduce me, how about it?¡± During this period of time, they had been investigating the master known as Alpha Dog. Clearly, there were dog tag Array Disks that were leaked out of the Jian Chamber of Commerce every month, but they could not find any traces of that master. It was as if that person did not exist at all. ¡°Brother Wang, it¡¯s too early to be happy. Why don¡¯t you try this little sister¡¯s move first?¡± Of course, Jian Yuxiang couldn¡¯t expose Cheng Xu¡¯s identity. With a chuckle, she controlled the Mystic Water Technique to surround Wang Xiaolun. Wang Xiaolun smiled confidently. Raging mes spread around his body as he broke through the seal of the Mystic Water Art. At the same time, a water-like stream of sword qi swept towards him. It looked very ordinary and did not have that shocking aura. However, when he controlled his flying sword to collide against it, he found that his flying sword was sent flying back as if it had collided against a stormy sea. ¡°What?!¡± Wang Xiaolun hurriedly took out his defensive magic treasure to block the attack of the Water Wave Sword Qi. However, in the next second, the water that the Water Wave Sword Qi had sshed out had already split into more than ten simr Water Wave Sword Qi in ail directions. Under Jian Yuxiang¡¯s control, they rippled towards him, leaving him nowhere to hide. Swish! Swish! Rippling waves of sword qi drowned Wang Xiaolun. Then, amidst Wang Xiaolun¡¯s surprised cries, the protective shield propped up by the defensive magical treasure shattered. Many people noticed the situation here and eximed one after another. ¡°Senior Sister, have you alreadyprehended the Mystic water Secret Technique to the highest level?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly surprised. At the same time, Wang Xiaolun had already fallen out of the ring in a sorry state. He had never expected that he would lose to Jian Yuxiang. On the other side, Tang Xuan had also sessfully won a spot in the arena. There were a total of twelve arenas, and the Medicine Celestial Valley had taken three seats. Miao Changsheng and the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples cheered. Of course, this was only temporary. Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang still had to continue fighting the challengers behind them. Although Wang Xiaolun lost to Jian Yuxiang, he could still challenge the other contestants in the ring. As for Cheng Xu¡¯s side, no one dared to challenge him anymore after the Qi Word Mantra. However, just as Cheng Xu thought that he could wait for the match to end, a familiar female disciple of the Cloud Sect stepped onto his ring. It was Hu Jiaojiao, whom he had been ¡®thinking about¡¯ day and night. Originally, he didn¡¯t take this girl seriously. He didn¡¯t expect this girl to actually dare to go up on stage to challenge him. ¡°Surnamed Cheng, I¡¯ll meet you!¡± Hu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth as she stepped onto the stage. Her eyes were filled withplicated emotions. Although she was also shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s words, the more outstanding Cheng Xu¡¯s performance was, the more upset she felt. Especially when she saw the resentful looks from the Sect Leader and the Elders in the spectator stands, it made her heart explode. She had to prove that she was not inferior to Cheng Xu. Only in this way could she raise her head in front of her elders and fellow disciples! ¡°Interesting, I thought you wouldn¡¯t dare toe up.¡± Cheng Xu was eager to give it a try, and all kinds of methods to teach this girl a lesson quickly appeared in his mind. ¡°What a joke. You¡¯re just a piece of trash who peeked at me while bathing and was chased out of the Cloud Sect.¡± The essory in Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s hand buzzed, and her tone gradually became deranged. ¡°Let me ask you, back then in the Jade Pure School¡¯s prison, you clearly arrived. Why didn¡¯t you make a move in time?!¡± ¡°Uh, you mean that thing? I was afraid you would misunderstand, right?¡± Cheng Xu smiled righteously. Hu Jiaojiao obviously didn¡¯t react in time. ¡°Misunderstanding? Misunderstand what?¡± ¡°Misunderstanding me peeking at you!¡± Cheng Xu sneered. ¡°¡­¡± Hu Jiaojiao was instantly rendered speechless. The resentment buried in her heart exploded. ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re clearly doing this on purpose. I¡¯ll kill you!¡± After saying that, the sword moved with intense resentment and attacked Cheng Xu, aiming at all of his vital points. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Hu Jiaojiao was going to be ruthless and kill him. ¡°Junior Sister Hu, don¡¯t mess around!¡± Yan Changfeng grunted and wanted to remind her, but Hu Jiao jiao was already in a state of madness. She could not listen to him at all. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to tear Cheng Xu apart. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Yan. This Junior Sister Hu of yours is obviously not Cheng Xu¡¯s match.¡± Huyan Zan and the others waved their hands andughed. ¡°Especially in this state of losing control of emotions, 1 can¡¯t withstand Cheng Xu¡¯s Qi Mantra at all.¡± However, no one expected that Cheng Xu would not use the True Word¡¯s of Medicine. Instead, he used his sword to exchange blows with Hu Jiaojiao.. Chapter 65 - 65: Fourth Floor Chapter 65: Fourth Floor Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion In Cheng Xu¡¯s opinion, it was too easy for Hu Jiaojiao to kill him with a single Qi Word Mantra. He wanted to use the Cloud Sect¡¯s tricks to defeat her and let her know that other than having a good background, she was useless! ng! The Cloud Sword Technique easily blocked Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s sword technique. Flowing Cloud Steps took advantage of the situation and shed out a third level sword technique. The hysterical Hu Jiaojiao was directly swept away. She staggered a few steps before she managed to regain her footing. The madness in her eyes became even stronger. ¡°Ridiculous. You don¡¯t think that you can defeat me with just the Cloud Sword Technique, do you?¡± ¡°Fairy Hu is very smart!¡± Cheng Xu teased. ¡°Humph! You want to defeat me with a mere third stage Cloud Sword? What a fool¡¯s talk!¡± Hu Jiaojiao sneered. Her entire body emitted waves of cold aura. It was as if her entire body was covered in ayer of frost. Her eyes turned ashen white. ¡°Today, 1¡¯11 let you experience the true top sword technique of our Cloud Sect!¡± As soon as this move was used, the people from the Cloud Sect who were watching the battle eximed in shock. ¡°Grand Moon Sword Technique? Senior Sister Hu had actuallyprehended the Grand Moon Sword Technique?¡± ¡°When did this happen? He hadn¡¯t heard any news at all.¡± ¡°The Grand Moon Sword Technique is one of the three great killing sword arts of our sect. It¡¯s extremely profound and no one has been able to understand it for many years.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Senior Hu to have such a hidden trick up her sleeve.¡± In the spectator stands, the Treading Cloud Zhenren and the others were also surprised. ¡°Jiaojiao, this girl is really something,¡± Daoist Master of Cloud Sect looked at Elder Hu in surprise. ¡°When did she learn the Grand Moon Sword Technique?¡± Elder Hu was surprised and delighted. He shook his head nkly, ¡°This old master only just found out.¡± ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Daoist Master Cloud Sect nodded secretly, stroked his beard, and pondered. ¡°It¡¯s just that no one has used the Grand Moon Sword Technique for hundreds of years, so we don¡¯t know its exact power. I wonder if Little Uncle-Master knows anything about it?¡± Fu Yunzi was also surprised. ¡°There¡¯s no doubt about the strength of the Grand Moon Sword Technique. It¡¯s just that this girl¡¯s Grand Moon Sword Technique is still a littlecking.¡± Hearing this, the leaders of the various sects whispered among themselves. Although Dan Yang and Chi Yao were a little surprised, they weren¡¯t worried. After all, Cheng Xu did not show his true strength at all. Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Cheng Xu and Hu Jiaojiao. Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s Grand Moon Sword Technique was unusually sharp, and every move was aimed at Cheng Xu¡¯s vital points. Cheng Xu skillfully used the first to third levels of the Cloud Sword Technique to deal with it, but he was forced to the edge of the arena step by step. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Hu Jiaojiao took advantage of her victory and attacked with a hysterical stab. A thick cold aura condensed on the tip of her sword, and her aura was threatening. ¡°The Grand Moon Sword Technique is indeed powerful. Cheng Xu definitely won¡¯t be able to withstand this sword with just the Cloud Sword Technique.¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed as he exined. However, just as everyone thought that Cheng Xu was going to use the potion to counterattack, a surging aura suddenly surged from Cheng Xu¡¯s body. Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s powerful sword was knocked back by themotion. ¡°¡­¡± The fourth level of the Cloud Sword Technique?¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s pupils constricted.!¡± He was not the only one. The big shots of the Cloud Sect in the spectator stands also stood up. ¡°This kid has actuallyprehended the Cloud Sword Technique to the fourth level?¡± ¡°How is this possible?!¡± One had to know that with every level up, the power and profoundness of the Cloud Sword Technique would double. The third level and the fourth level seemed to be only one level apart, but in reality, they were twopletely different worlds. What was even more terrifying was that Cheng Xu had only obtained the Cloud Sword Technique two to three months ago. ¡°The sect has been getting better over the years. Even such a top-notch talent in the sword path was left out.¡± Fu Yunzi looked coldly at Taoist Master Cloud Sect and the others, feeling disappointed that they did not live up to his expectations. Taoist Master Ta Yun was ashamed. He sighed and did not dare to speak. The elders in the back row looked at each other in silence. Looking at the arena again, the madness on Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s face gradually faded. She had a look of disbelief. ¡°You¡­ You¡­ You actuallyprehended the fourth level of the Cloud Sword Technique?¡± ¡°Fourth level?¡± Cheng Xu curled his lips into a smile. As his sword moved, the sword aura surged like a sea of clouds. The terrifying sword momentum silenced the entire ce. ¡°Five¡­Fifth level?¡± Hu Jiaojiao couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. Seeing the overwhelming sword techniqueing at her, she could only grit her teeth and face it head-on. She cut her finger and smeared her blood on the sword. With a roar, she used the full power of the Grand Moon Sword Technique with thest bit of stubbornness and unwillingness. For a moment, the two arrows collided, creating a terrifying shockwave. After a short stalemate, the Cloud Sword Technique quickly formed a suppression. The +5 flying sword broke through the Grand Moon Sword Force and collided with Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s flying sword. Ding! A crisp sword hum resounded throughout the entire arena. Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s flying sword broke into two pieces amidst the sound of a gasp. Just as the +5 flying sword was about to pierce through Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s heart, Fu Yunzi flicked his finger lightly. A sword aura shot out from the spectator stands and helped Hu Jiao jiao block the fatal blow. Seeing this, Cheng Xu naturally couldn¡¯t continue to attack. He raised his hand and cupped his fists at Fu Yunzi to show his respect. ¡°Not bad, little guy, but unfortunately, he has no fate with the Cloud Sect!¡± Fu Yunzi¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration, but in the end, he could only sigh. After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re not bad either. You can focus onprehending the Grand Moon Sword Technique after you go down. You can shine in the future.¡± Unfortunately, Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s mental state had already copsed, and her face was ashen. It was fine if she couldn¡¯t beat Cheng Xu in medicine refinement, but now, she had even lost to this lecher in his eyes in sword arts. After a brief silence, the entire stadium was filled with uproar. Especially the Cloud Sect, they were all dumbfounded and had a look of doubt on their faces. Cheng Xu was a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley, but his swordsmanship was even more dazzling than the disciples of the Cloud Sect. Where would the Cloud Sect put their face? Daoist Master Cloud Sect¡¯s face was ashen and he could not say a word. On the contrary, the leaders of the other sects were chatting happily. ¡°Congrattions, Fellow Daoist Dan Yang and Fellow Daoist Chi Yao. With this child¡¯s talent, he will definitely be a pir of support in the cultivation world of Mini South Heaven!¡± ¡°Haha,¡± Perfected Dan Yangughed especially licentiously. ¡°We have to thank the fellow daoists of the Cloud Sect, or we wouldn¡¯t have found Cheng Xu.¡± Hearing this, the leaders of the various sects burst intoughter. Originally, the Cloud Sect had clearly wanted to show off their might in the Suppressing Demon Martial Competition. However, Cheng Xu¡¯s appearance had directly shamed the Cloud Sect. Even if the Cloud Sect won the championship in the end, they could still use this matter to mock the Cloud Sect for decades. While the leaders of the various sects were mocking and ridiculing, Huyan Lie and the elders beside him were staring at the flying sword in Cheng Xu¡¯s hand, deep in thought. ¡°That flying sword¡­?¡± The elder of the Scorching Sun Sect followed Huyan Lie hesitantly. ¡°Has the Great Elder seen it too?¡± ¡± What?¡± Huyan Lie looked incredulous. ¡°Judging from the color and style of the flying sword, it¡¯s a product of our Scorching Sun Sect. Could it be a spirit-injected flying sword left by our ancestors?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible.¡± The Great Elder was puzzled. ¡°But that flying sword doesn¡¯t look like an old object.¡± Huyan Lie took a deep breath and said solemnly, ¡°This matter is of great importance. After the fight, we have to have a good chat with this child.¡± Cheng Xu naturally sensed the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s attention. He put away his flying sword quietly and continued to guard the arena. After this battle, Cheng Xu had undoubtedly be the biggest dark horse of this year¡¯s Martial Arts Competition. Even the four mid-stage Foundation Establishment prodigies on the stage silently listed Cheng Xu as a big threat.. Chapter 66 - 66: Scorching Sun Sect’s Visit Chapter 66: Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Visit Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion At the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s waiting area, Miao Changsheng directly became a cheerleader, leading a group of fellow disciples to cheer and cheer, afraid that others did not know that Cheng Xu was a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley. Unfortunately, after this battle, no one dared to challenge Cheng Xu¡¯s arena. Helpless, Miao Changsheng and the others could only cheer for Jian Yuxiang and Tang Xuan. Jian Yuxiang and Tang Xuan¡¯s performance didn¡¯t disappoint them. They defeated several attackers in session. Unknowingly, the twelve advancement spots had basically been confirmed. The Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s three disciples had advanced to the finals, sessfully refreshing everyone¡¯s impression of the Medicine Celestial Valley. They werepletely proud! Although the Cloud Sect had been embarrassed by Cheng Xu, their strength was indeed impressive. Yan Changfeng, Bai Ci¡¯er, and Yang Tianqi had sessfully advanced. Speaking of which, Hu Jiaojiao¡¯s power after gaining the Grand Moon Sword Technique was enough for her to level up. Unfortunately, her mentality had copsed because of Cheng Xu, and she hadpletely lost her will to fight. As for the Scorching Sun Sect, after Wang Xiaolun lost to Jian Yuxiang, he managed to secure another spot. In the end, just like the Shenluo Hail and the Mystic Arts Sect, two people advanced to the finals. By the time the second round of thepetition ended, it was already dusk. The first day of the Demon Suppression Martial Competition hade to an end. The audience dispersed one after another, waiting for tomorrow¡¯s finals. The evening scenery on Cloud Treading Peak was beautiful, but Cheng Xu didn¡¯t have much time to appreciate it. His amazing performance in the first two rounds meant that he would not be able to rest tonight. First, Bai Ci¡¯er and Yang Tianqi congratted each other and chatted about the past. Then, it was the celebration of the fellow disciples. Following that, Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu came forward to exchange pleasantries. From their tone, it was obvious that they had already regarded Cheng Xu as a prodigy like them. ¡°To be honest, when Brother Cheng used the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique today, it really scared me.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t see Brother Yan¡¯s expression at that time. It was simply¡­!¡± Liu Qiao of Shenluo Hall eximed. Yan Changfeng, who was standing at the side, seemed slightly embarrassed. He sighed softly and said, ¡°Regarding the matter of Brother Cheng being expelled from the Cloud Sect, I am deeply regretful.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. He¡¯s no longer a disciple of your Cloud Sect.¡± Huyan Zan interrupted. Yan Changfeng sighed helplessly and continued, ¡°It¡¯s just that 1 don¡¯t understand why you were left behind in the outer sect with your talent. Brother Cheng, please tell me the truth.¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s tone was very sincere. It was obvious that he wanted to find out the problems in the sect. However, Cheng Xu was stumped. It was true that he had been expelled from the Cloud Sect because of Hu Jiaojiao, but it was not a problem for him to be selected into the outer sect. After all, the original body¡¯s aptitude was indeed a little poor. ¡°This¡­¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s brain was working quickly. ¡°Maybe 1 was stimted after being expelled from the sect. My brain suddenly became enlightened.¡± ¡°Really? There¡¯s such a saying?¡± Huyan Zan and the other two clearly didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Brother Cheng, are you afraid of something?¡± Yan Changfeng naturally did not believe such an answer. ¡°Or do you have something you can¡¯t say?¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t.¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. He was clearly telling the truth, but no one believed him. At this moment, Perfected Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao walked in, chatting andughing. Huyan Lie, the leader of Scorching Sun Sect, and the First Elder of Scorching Sun Sect were also with them. ¡°Hey, you guys are all here?¡± Perfected Dan Yang teased. Yan Changfeng and the others were surprised to see Huyan Lie and the First Elder of the Scorching Sun Sect, especially Huyan Zan. ¡°Father, First Elder, why are you here?¡± ¡°I have something to ask Little Friend Cheng.¡± Huyan Lie¡¯s expression was serious, ¡°You little fellows can leave first. There will be plenty of opportunities to befriend in the future.¡± Seeing this, Yan Changfeng and the others could only leave with doubts. Huyan Zan thought that he could stay and observe the situation. He did not expect his father Huyan Lie to re at him with a dignified gaze. ¡°Uh, is it not convenient for me to be present?¡± Huyan Zan said in astonishment. Huyan Lie didn¡¯t say anything, but silently nced at the door. Huyan Zan awkwardly opened his mouth and left helplessly. After sending everyone away, Huyan Lie immediately used a restriction to seal the entire room, causing Dan Yang and Chi Yao to be confused. ¡°The two of you mysteriously pulled us over. What are you trying to do?¡± Perfected Dan Yang was confused. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Little Cheng is rted to the Scorching Sun Sect.¡± Cheng Xu also pretended to be confused. ¡°To tell you the truth, when little friend Cheng fought Hu Jiaojiao, 1 vaguely felt that the flying sword in your hand was quite extraordinary. I came personally to confirm it.¡± The First Elder of the Scorching Sun Sect said politely. ¡°What?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the flying sword refined by your Scorching Sun Sect? What¡¯s there to see?¡± Hearing this, Huyan Lie and the Great Elder were also stunned. ¡°Fellow Daoist Chi Yao also knows the origin of that flying sword?¡± Huyan Lie was surprised and delighted. ¡°Of course I do. It¡¯s one of the five flying swords I bought for my disciple at the Magical Equipment Exposition. Why? Is there something wrong with that flying sword?¡± Daoist Master Chi Yao asked without hesitation. ¡°Is this true, Fellow Daoist?¡± Faced with their strange reactions, Perfected Chi Yao and Perfected Dan Yang were even more dumbfounded. ¡°What are the two of you doing?¡± Perfected Dan Yang was a little impatient. Huyan Lie and the other man looked at each other and said with hurried breaths, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then the problem is even bigger. Little Friend Cheng, can you show us that flying sword?¡± ¡°Of course I can.¡± Cheng Xu took out his flying sword and handed it over with both hands. The two of them carefully held the flying sword and studied it for a moment. Their expressions gradually became excited. ¡°It really is a flying sword that has been injected with spirit, and it has been injected five times!¡± The First Elder of the Scorching Sun Sect was so excited that he was incoherent. ¡°Eh? Seniors, you know about spirit infusion too?¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be surprised.¡± Huyan Lie took a deep breath and asked solemnly, ¡°1 wonder who helped this young friend infuse the spirit into this flying sword?¡± ¡°I met a fairy in Floating Immortal City before, but her whereabouts are unknown.¡± ¡°Fairy?¡± ¡°Little girl?¡± ¡°Yes, not much older than the younger generation.¡± ¡°Could she be the descendant of a certain ancestor of the sect?¡± Huyan Lie pondered, ¡°What does that little girl look like?¡± Cheng Xu briefly described the appearance of Yue Wanling when he first met her. He also described the process and details of the spirit infusion, making the two of them believe what he said further. In short, his countermeasure was to push the matter to Yue Wanling. Huyan Lie and the First Elder listened very seriously, afraid to miss any details. After they were done, they didn¡¯t forget to express their gratitude to Cheng Xu. Dan Yang and Chi Yao were stunned for a long time. They couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°What is spirit infusion?¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you two curious about why my magic treasures are so powerful?¡± Huyan Lie nced at Cheng Xu and exined, ¡°Because those magic treasures were all infused with the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique. 1 just didn¡¯t expect that there would be a cultivator who mastered the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique today.¡± Dan Yang and Chi Yao didn¡¯t really understand. The First Elder of the Scorching Sun Sect briefly introduced the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique and Spirit Infusing Technique. After hearing this, Dan Yang and Chi Yao were shocked. They hurriedly snatched the +5 flying sword from Huyan Lie and studied it carefully. ¡°Hiss¡­ I didn¡¯t expect there to be such a magical refining secret technique in the world?¡± ¡°Strange. Since your sect has this secret technique, why don¡¯t you use it?¡± Perfected Dan Yang expressed his doubts. ¡°The Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is very difficult to understand. Except for the predecessors of the Scorching Sun Sect, no one else has been able to understand the secret of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique.¡± Upon hearing this, Perfected Dan Yang immediately understood. To put it bluntly, it was simr to their medicinal mantras.. Chapter 67 - 67 Fighting Huyan Zan First Chapter 67 Fighting Huyan Zan First After some pleasantries, he sent Huyan Lie and the other man off. Perfected Dan Yang looked at the +5 flying sword and became more and more surprised. "It''s only a flying sword in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but its performance is close to that of a flying sword in the Golden Core Stage. The Scorching Sun Sect''s Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is really powerful. No wonder Huyan Lie''s magic treasures are so powerful." Chi Yao Zhenren agreed. "Little Cheng, oh, Little Cheng, it''s not that the Sect Master is scolding you," perfected Dan Yang turned around and returned the flying sword to Cheng Xu, and said with a slight reproach, "How can you tell Huyan Lie the truth about such an important matter?" Cheng Xu naturally understood Perfected Dan Yang''s thoughts and chuckled. "Don''t worry, Sect Leader. That fairy is very slippery. I haven''t seen her true appearance yet. The Scorching Sun Sect will definitely not be able to find her." "Is that so?" Perfected Dan Yang''s eyes lit up. "That''s good. If we meet her next time, we must think of a way to rope her into our Medicine Celestial Valley." "I understand." Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. "That''s more like it!" Perfected Dan Yang was satisfied. "Why should the Scorching Sun Sect benefit from such a rare talent?" The two of them continued to ask Cheng Xu for some details. Miao Changsheng suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. "Master, are you here? Disciple just met Perfected Luoyue and said that she wanted to invite you to the cave abode to drink tea and discuss Dao." "Perfected Luoyue, tea tasting and Dao discussion?" Cheng Xu and Perfected Dan Yang looked at each other and instantly became interested. Daoist Chi Yao was confused. "Strange, what is Daoist Luoyue doing?" "We''re already tasting tea and discussing the Dao. What are you saying?" "Junior Brother, you''ve been busy refining medicine for so many years. Since Fairy Luoyue is interested, why don''t you go and sit down? It''s best if you can marry her back to the Medicine Celestial Valley." Perfected Dan Yang said unhappily. "It can''t be?" Daoist Chi Yao was surprised and delighted. "Fairy Luoyue is interested in a herb basket like me?" "Who cares if she really likes you? Take advantage of her first." Perfected Dan Yang urged excitedly. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng were also fanning the mes. Chi Yao Zhenren blushed. He finally got interested, but it didn''tst long. "Forget it. I''d better go back and study my medicine mantra." "..." "Junior Brother, you''re really..." Daoist Dan Yang was speechless. "Fairy is good, but medicinal knowledge is more interesting." Daoist Chi Yao said. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng looked at each other helplessly. Seeing that he couldn''t persuade Perfected Chi Yao, Perfected Dan Yang didn''t stay any longer. After instructing Cheng Xu to have a good rest, he left helplessly. Only the three of them were left in the room. "Master, are you really not going to visit Perfected Luoyue? I see that Perfected Luoyue is quite interested in you." Miao Changsheng asked again. "I''m not interested in the truth between men and women. I might as well focus on studying my pharmacology." Chi Yao Zhenren waved his hand disinterestedly and said excitedly, "Recently, Master''s thoughts have been flowing like a fountain. I reckon that it won''t be long before the Medicine Mantra seeds." "So fast?" Cheng Xu was surprised. "Forget it. You still have apetition tomorrow. I''ll exin it to you in detail when I get back." After saying that, he left excitedly and continued to study his medicine words. Miao Changsheng looked at Perfected Chi Yao''s back and sighed helplessly. "Well, it seems that we won''t be able to have a master''s wife in this lifetime." "Master has his pursuits. As disciples, we just have to take care of ourselves." The next day, the Cloud-treading Peak was overcrowded. The teams of the various sects had already arrived and were quietly waiting for the finals to arrive. Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang knew that they wouldn''t be able to go far, so the Medicine Celestial Valley''s hopes were ced on Cheng Xu. "Work harder, Junior Brother Cheng. As long as we can get into the top three, our Medicine Celestial Valley will be able to hold our heads high." Tang Xuan patted Cheng Xu''s shoulder solemnly and stuffed a jade slip into Cheng Xu''s hand. "This is the information I''ve gathered. It should be useful to you." "Information? What information?" Cheng Xu was confused. "Naturally, it''s the information on the top twelve contestants of each sect. I spent a lot of effort to collect this information," said Tang Xuan with a smile. Cheng Xu epted the jade slip in surprise and sent his divine sense into it. It had to be said that Tang Xuan''s investigation was very detailed. He was just short of digging out the background of the top 12 contestants of each sect. Every contestant''s family background, cultivation techniques, moves, and magic treasures were recorded in detail. "Where did Senior get this information?" Cheng Xu asked in surprise. "I''ve beenparing the geniuses of the various sects all these years, and I''ve been collecting information about them through various channels. Now that Junior Brother Cheng is carrying the g for the Medicine Celestial Valley, the burden on my shoulders can finally be put down a little." Tang Xuan smiled. Cheng Xu silently cupped his fists at Tang Xuan to show his respect. At least in Cheng Xu''s opinion, Tang Xuan was definitely the best candidate to be the future sect master of the Medicine Celestial Valley. "Of course, the intelligence inside is notprehensive. Those people must have kept a lot of trump cards in secret. You must be careful when you face themter, especially Yan Changfeng and the other three." "Understood." Cheng Xu nodded solemnly. "By the way, what are the rules for today''spetition?" "Two people will draw lots to fight. Thepetitors from the same sect will avoid the battle and will be ranked ording to the winner." Cheng Xu understood. "So we can only draw opponents from the other four sects?" To put it simply, other than the yers from the same sect, all the other yers had to fight once. "That''s right." Tang Xuan nodded. "Jian Yunxiang and I are in a tough spot. We still have a chance against those in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once we meet Yan Changfeng and the others, there''s basically no hope." As they spoke, the drawing of lots for the top 12 had already begun. After Fu Yunzi finished his speech, he waved his sleeves and released twelve light balls with the names of the twelve contestants. They hovered above the arena and the sects took turns drawing lots ording to the rankings of thest Martial Competition. The Medicine Celestial Valley didn''t participate in thestpetition, so they were thest to draw lots. On the Cloud Sect''s battle waiting area, Yan Changfeng stood up amidst the cheers of his fellow disciples. He soared into the air and grabbed a ball of light. The opponent''s name, Wang Xiaolun, gradually condensed on the surface of the ball of light. The moment he saw his name, Wang Xiaolun''s face instantly darkened. "D*mn, do I have to be so unlucky?" "Cough cough." On the stage, the Cloud Master cleared his throat and said, "May the contestants from both sides pleasee on stage." "No, no, no, I admit defeat!" Wang Xiaolun was quite happy and directly raised his hand at Fu Yunzi to express his surrender. The people from the Scorching Sun Sect could understand that. After all, Wang Xiaolun was obviously no match for Yan Changfeng. Fu Yunzi didn''t waste any time. After scoring a point for Yan Changfeng, he turned to look at the Scorching Sun Sect''s team. "May the Scorching Sun Sect''s contestants draw lots for the second round?" Huyan Zan stretched his muscles and bones. With a domineering posture, he drew a ball of light. The opponent''s name slowly appeared, [Cheng Xu]. The crowd was stunned at first, then they burst into heated discussions and anticipation. "This¡­" Huyan Zan was somewhat speechless. He had drawn Cheng Xu right away. Wasn''t this testing the waters for the others? As for the other three Heaven''s Favorites, they were naturally very happy to see this oue. "Brother Huyan, you can do it! We all think highly of you!" Liu Qiao of Shenluo Hall gloated. Huyan Zan rolled his eyes at Liu Qiao and went to the opposite tform while cursing. On the Medicine Celestial Valley side, although Cheng Xu was a little surprised, he was fearless. "Junior brother, be careful. Huyan Zan is considered half a body cultivator." Tang Xuan reminded him in a low voice. Cheng Xu nodded slightly and flew up the stage. The audience was filled with anticipation for this match. Chapter 68 - 68: Fight Huyan Zan First (Part 2) Chapter 68: Fight Huyan Zan First (Part 2) Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Seeing Cheng Xu go up on stage, Huyan Zan cupped his fists politely. ¡°Brother Cheng, please show mercy and save some strength to deal with the others.¡± ¡°Brother Huyan, you must be joking. I wouldn¡¯t dare to hold back against a Mid Foundation Establishment Chosen like you.¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Huyan Zan sighed softly, ¡°Why did I encounter it first?¡± Cheng Xu chuckled and raised his hand to signal Huyan Zan to start. ¡°Brother Huyan, please!¡± The entire ce quickly quieted down. Everyone held their breaths and stared, secretly anticipating Cheng Xu¡¯s performance. At least in most people¡¯s eyes, although Cheng Xu was very stunning before, there was still a certain gap between him and a Heaven¡¯s Favorite like Huyan Zan. Not to mention anything else, just the difference in cultivation was not something that could be easily made up for. ¡°Brother Cheng, work harder. Be careful not to get beaten up by my Senior Brother Huyan until you can¡¯t get up!¡± Wang Xiaolun teased below the stage. Cheng Xu naturally did not take Wang Xiaolun¡¯s words to heart. At this moment, he was already fully immersed in the next battle. On the other side, Huyan Zan also had a serious expression. After a short confrontation, the battle was about to start. ¡°Brother Cheng, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s muscles tensed up instantly, and his burly body rushed towards Cheng Xu like a cannonball. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be careless, and he spat out the Qi Word mantra. A huge dark golden character, Qi, suddenly appeared above Cheng Xu. Huyan Zan, who was rushing over, seemed to be having a side ache. He gritted his teeth and slowed down. ¡°What a good Qi Mantra, it¡¯s really powerful!¡± Huyan Zan relied on his cultivation to suppress the chaotic True Qi in his body and kicked Cheng Xu with a roar. The power of this kick was quite terrifying. The force directly broke a huge air wave on the stage and rushed towards Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu activated his Protective Upstanding Qi and narrowly avoided the attack with Flowing Cloud Steps. With lingering fear in his heart, he hurriedly released Poison Ivy, binding Huyan Zan in ce. The +5 flying sword followed closely behind with the sword Qi of the Cloud Sword Technique. The Poison Ivy Technique was easily shattered by Huyan Zan. Facing the iing +5 flying sword, Huyan Zan did not show the slightest fear. Instead, heughed loudly and charged forward. Bang! Huyan Zan¡¯s body was surrounded by a strong wave of Qi flow, which blocked the attack of the Cloud Sword Technique. ¡°This is a third level sword technique, right?¡± Huyan Zanughed heartily. ¡°Let¡¯s go straight to the fifth level of the sword scripture. Otherwise, it¡¯s really not enough!¡± As he spoke, Huyan Zan repelled the +5 flying sword and seized the opportunity to capture Cheng Xu. Unfortunately, the influence of the Qi Word Mantra had yet to subside, and Huyan Zan¡¯s speed was clearly much slower. Facing Huyan Zan¡¯s powerful attack, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. He first used the Mystic Water Mantra to create ayer of water curtain in front of him, and then withdrew his flying sword. He shed out with his sword, and the sword Qi that was like a sea of clouds was like a hot knife through butter. Puff! Huyan Zan easily broke through the water curtain of the Mystic Water Mantra, but the sword Qi that collided head-on was a little too much for him to handle. He grunted and was knocked back. ¡°Hiss¡­ The fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique is indeed powerful!¡± Huyan Zan excitedly stretched his muscles and bones. His body was surging with energy, and his aura began to rise. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t hide it anymore.¡± Although Cheng Xu had managed to repel Huyan Zan, his arm was still slightly numb. It couldn¡¯t be helped. This was the difference in cultivation. At the same time, Cheng Xu also read Huyan Zan¡¯s data panel. Although the data read by the cultivationputer was notprehensive, there were still many new thingspared to the information Tang Xuan gave him. However, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t want to use the ability to cultivateputers for the time being. In the spectator stands, Dan Yang and Chi Yao were extremely nervous. On the contrary, Huyan Lie, the leader of Scorching Sun Sect, said confidently, ¡°Not bad, not bad. Being able to hold on under my brat¡¯s hands until now with the strength of an Early Foundation Establishment Stage is already very outstanding.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Huyan, don¡¯t be in a hurry to be happy. In my opinion, little friend Cheng Xu probably hasn¡¯t made his move yet.¡± The Divine Hall Master reminded. ¡°Tsk, you make it sound like my brat is serious.¡± Huyan Lie curled his lips and smiled. His expression suddenly turned serious. On the battle stage, a huge dark golden word ¡°Poison¡± slowly rose. The first and second were aggressive and Huyan Zan, his face instantly turned purple, and the entire person¡¯s aura weakened a few points. Although the realm of the Poison Word Mantra was much lower than the Qi Word Mantra, the damage effect was definitely stronger than the Qi Word Mantra Huyan Zan¡¯s face was twisted by the poison in his body. ¡°Damn it, the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s Medicine Mantra is really disgusting. Defensive spells and defensive treasures can¡¯t block it at all.¡± ¡°Brother Huyan, if you don¡¯t reveal your trump card, you won¡¯t have a chance!¡± Cheng Xu used the Mystic Water Mantra to surround Huyan Zan, and the +5 flying sword flew over with the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique. In this situation, Huyan Zan finally stopped hiding his strength. A terrifying me exploded from his body. Boom! The Mystic Water Mantra surrounding Huyan Zan was instantly evaporated, and the +5 flying sword was bounced back. Huyan Zan¡¯s entire body was enveloped in a ball of crimson mes. A seven to eight meter tall me phantom gradually condensed behind him, following Huyan Zan¡¯s every move. ¡°Brother Cheng is already very powerful to be able to force out my Fiery Sun Divine Body.¡± At this moment, Huyan Zan was even more confident than his father. A scarlet flying sword slowly appeared in his hand, and the ming phantom behind him also condensed a huge ming sword in its hand. Yan Changfeng and the others frowned and looked serious. ¡°Good heavens, this fellow has actually cultivated the Fiery Sun Divine Body!¡± Liu Qiao was shocked. Xue Lingyu of the Mystic Arts Sect couldn¡¯t help but chime in. ¡°Fortunately, Cheng Xu forced me out. Otherwise, if I met Huyan Zanter, I might have been caught off guard.¡± ¡°Once the Fiery Sun Divine Body appears, I¡¯m afraid Cheng Xu won¡¯t have a chance.¡± Liu Qiao secretly felt sorry for Cheng Xu. As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Changfeng¡¯s gaze suddenly focused. ¡°No, look at Cheng Xu!¡± On the stage, Huyan Zan had already controlled the me shadow behind him and shed at Cheng Xu. The huge ming sword was like Mount Tai pressing down on him, emitting terrifying heat. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu stood calmly on the spot, the fire attribute true essence around his body constantly surging. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t that the (Crimson Glory Mystic Scripture) that Fellow Daoist Chi Yao cultivates? What is he doing?¡± In the spectator stands, the Divine Hall Master asked in bewilderment. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he wants to use the Crimson Glory Mystic Scripture to resist the attack of the Divine Body of the Fiery Sun?¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect also had a look of disbelief. For a moment, everyone¡¯s eyes focused on Perfected Chi Yao. However, Chi Yao Zhenren was also confused and didn¡¯t understand what Cheng Xu was trying to do. Daoist Dan Yang was ready to attack at any moment because he knew how terrifying the Fiery Sun Divine Body was. Only Fu Yunzi seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. As for the disciples below the stage, they were even more confused. ¡°Eh? Cheng Xu seems to be on fire too!¡± ¡°Looking at those fluctuations, it seems to be the True Fire of a Fire Attribute Cultivation Technique.¡± ¡°Cheng Xu wouldn¡¯t be thinking of using the True Fire Cultivation Technique to fight against the Fiery Sun Divine Body, right? Are you kidding me?¡± At this moment, Dan Yang and Chi Yao finally noticed something strange. ¡°I say, Junior Brother, why is Little Cheng¡¯s Crimson Glory True Fire different from yours?¡± Perfected Dan Yang looked at Perfected Chi Yao in confusion. ¡°Why is it emitting white light?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not quite the same, but it¡¯s indeed the Crimson Glory True Fire.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren muttered to himself. At the same time, Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, finally felt the horror of the red and white mes. ¡°¡­Hiss! The power of the Primordial me¡­¡± Without waiting for Huyan Lie to finish his sentence, Huyan Zan, who was on the field, had already been forced back by a terrifying me wave. It was a me wave formed by red mes and white mes. It was clearly a me wave, but it was like a sea wave crashing against the shore. It advancedyer byyer and continuously attacked Huyan Zan.. Chapter 69 - 69: Nine Layer Flame Wave Chapter 69: Nine Layer me Wave Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Huyan Zan resisted with all his might, but the attacks of the Fiery Sun Divine Body couldn¡¯t withstand the impact of the me wave at all. He was forced to retreat step by step. What was even more terrifying was that the power of eachyer of me wave was also increasing. By the time the third wave of mes arrived, Huyan Zan could no longer withstand it. The Fiery Sun Divine Body behind him was weakening at a visible rate, and it was gradually tainted by the red and white mes. ¡°How is this possible? This me can actually suppress my Fiery Sun Divine Body?!¡± Seeing that the Fiery Sun Divine Body was about to copse, Huyan Zan was already in a panic. A roar resounded throughout the arena. The huge me shadow disintegrated and turned into surging mes that wrapped around Huyan Zan¡¯s body, forming a set of red armor that looked like burning charcoal. Boom! Huyan Zan, who was d in red armor, punched out and sessfully withstood the fourth wave of mes. However, the fifth wave of mes had already pushed the previous wave forward. The spectators below the stage were shocked. They obviously didn¡¯t expect Huyan Zan to have such a trick up his sleeve. But even so, Huyan Zan was still forced back a few steps by the fifth wave of mes. The even more terrifying sixth wave of mes followed closely behind. ¡°F*ck, why is there more?!¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s expression was frantic, and his pupils could not help but shrink. ¡°How many attacks does this spell have? Are you done?¡± Boom! The six waves of mes swept over, and the impact carried with it an astonishing burst of mes, causing the entire battle stage to tremble slightly. Even the Tier 3 array protecting the battle stage let out waves of buzzing sounds. The crowd was so shocked that they were speechless. ¡°What a terrifying me spell!¡± Xue Lingyu¡¯s expression was solemn, and her heart was beating wildly. ¡°Why do 1 feel like the sixth wave of mes isn¡¯t the end? There¡¯s still the seventh wave of mes?¡± ¡°Is this really an attack that an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator can unleash?¡± Liu Qiao asked in fear. ¡°Brother Yan, what do you think?¡± Xue Lingyu said. Yan Changfeng frowned in bewilderment and analyzed, ¡°This me Wave spell itself shouldn¡¯t be that powerful. The key should be that Red and white True Fire.¡± While they were discussing, Huyan Zan¡¯s aura was disrupted by the Qi word mantra. He was unable to resist the impact of the sixyers of me waves. The red armor on his body cracked inch by inch. He rolled down the stage in a sorry state and unconsciously spat out a mouthful of ck blood. The entire ce was instantly silent. A momentter, the Medicine Celestial Valley team burst into cheers. On the other hand, the Scorching Sun Sect team had obviously not recovered from their shock. Especially Wang Xiaolun, he never dreamed that his senior brother Huyan Zan would lose to Cheng Xu! In the spectator stands, the various leaders looked at each other in shock, their gazes gathered on Dan Yang and Chi Yao. Even Fu Yunzi couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Your sect has such a powerful fire spell technique?¡± ¡°Uh, this Nine Layered me Wave is indeed the inheritance of my Medicine Celestial Valley. However, this power¡­¡± Immortal Dan Yang was surprised and delighted, but he couldn¡¯t understand why Cheng Xu¡¯s Nine Layered me Wave was so fierce. ¡°Nine Layer me Wave¡­? What?¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect turned pale with fright. ¡°Logically speaking, it should be, but Cheng Xu shouldn¡¯t haveprehended the ninth realm yet.¡± When he said this, Perfected Dan Yang was also a little uncertain. After all, Cheng Xu had always learned everything easily. Even if heprehended the ninth level of the Nine Layer me Wave, it didn¡¯t seem strange. ¡°He was able to defeat my son with just six waves of me. If he can use the seventh or eighth wave, it¡¯s simply unimaginable!¡± Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, said with lingering fear. Looking at the expression of the Taoist Master on the Cloud Sect, it was already extremely ugly. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The more outstanding Cheng Xu¡¯s performance was, the worse his mood became. At this moment, he wished he could hang the people in charge of the outer sect and use all the torture. On Chi Yao¡¯s side, he gradually figured out something. ¡°That white me should have originated from the White me True Art. Could it be that Little Cheng has fused the True me in his body with the White me True Art?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very possible.¡± Perfected Dan Yang looked at the reddish-white mes on Cheng Xu¡¯s body and nodded secretly. ¡°To be able to fuse the True Fire of a cultivation technique at such a young age, this child¡¯s talent andprehension are truly astonishing!¡± Fu Yunzi clicked his tongue in surprise and looked at Cheng Xu with fondness. When he thought about how Cheng Xu had already been expelled from the Cloud Sect, Fu Yunzi was furious. If Cheng Xu was still in Cloud Sect, he would definitely be the best sessor. On the stage, Huyan Zan was stunned for a long time before he gradually epted the fact that he had lost. ¡°Brother Cheng¡¯s growth rate is really embarrassing.¡± Huyan Zan stood up with a bitter smile and shook his head. ¡°To lose to a rising star like you, this brother is sincerely convinced.¡± After saying that, he sighed and returned to the group where the Scorching Sun Sect resided. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t expect the Nine Layer me Wave to have such terrifying power. However, from the information read by the system, Huyan Zan should still have a trump card, but he hadn¡¯t had the time to use it. When they returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley team, He was immediately surrounded by Miao Changsheng. At this moment, he had undoubtedly be the most dazzling new star of this year¡¯s Martial Competition! Unlike the jubtion of the people from the Medicine Celestial Valley, the atmosphere on the Cloud Sect¡¯s side was rather strange. While Yang Tianqi and Bai Ci¡¯er were shocked, they were secretly happy for Cheng Xu. However, the others did not think so, especially Hu Jiaojiao, who was watching the battle from the team. Ever since she lost to Cheng Xu yesterday, this girl had be quiet. Now that she saw Cheng Xu¡¯s astonishing performance, she was even more unable to ept it. Thepetition continued, but there were still many people who had yet to recover from the shock. After Fu Yun Zi announced Cheng Xu¡¯s victory, he messed up the balls of light and threw them into the air. The next person to draw lots was Liu Qiao from Shenluo Hall. It was a pity that he had drawn his second brother right away, wasting a round of drawing opportunities. Seeing this, Xue Lingyu from the Mystic Arts Sect drew lots and drew Wang Xiaolun from the Scorching Sun Sect. Wang Xiaolun did not admit defeat this time, but it did not affect the oue. Xue Lingyu¡¯s set of talismans and spells was full of tricks. In less than a moment, she defeated Wang Xiaolun and proved to everyone that she was the number one prodigy of the Mystic Arts Sect. After winning, Xue Lingyu did not forget to cast a provocative look at Cheng Xu. It was obvious that the matter of Cheng Xu ridiculing their Mystical Arts Sect had not passed yet. Cheng Xu naturallyughed it off. Next, it was the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s turn to draw lots. Cheng Xu had just fought a match and needed to rest, so Tang Xuan drew lots first. Tang Xuan was lucky to have drawn Yang Tianqi from the Cloud Sect. The two of them fought hard, but there were no highlights. In the end, Tang Xuan barely won with a slight advantage. After that, Bai Ci¡¯er sessfully drew the number two of the Mystic Arts Sect. Although she failed to defeat her opponent, she managed to disy the elegance of a female disciple of the Cloud Sect with her Tiangang Sword Skill. On the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s side, Huyan Zan and Wang Xiaolun were both badly beaten, so they gave up on drawing lots for this round. Immediately after, the Shenluo Hall¡¯s Liu Qiao¡¯s drawing of lots finally began. Liu Qiao versus Yan Changfeng. As soon as the results of the draw were out, the audience¡¯s appetite was piqued. Both sides entered the arena one after another, cupped their fists, and then started fighting! The moment Liu Qiao made his move, Cheng Xu realized that he could use Array Disks in thepetition. ¡°So Array Disks can be used in thepetition?¡± ¡°Setting up an Array Disk consumes one¡¯s own magic power, so it¡¯s naturally possible.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and nodded. Cheng Xu secretly nodded and thought about using the Array Disk to try it outter. Speaking of which, as the creator of [Alpha Dog], he had never properly used his multi-purpose Array Disk. Boom! The shockwave from the fight on the stage sessfully attracted Cheng Xu¡¯s attention.. Chapter 70 - 70: Flying Cloud Meteor Sword Chapter 70: Flying Cloud Meteor Sword Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Yan Changfeng was indeed worthy of being the only existence among the younger generation in Little Nantian. Even against Liu Qiao, who was also a Heaven¡¯s Favorite, he still appeared rxed. On the other hand, Liu Qiao was in a state of full strength. The difference between the two sides was obvious. At the same time, it was also Cheng Xu¡¯s first time experiencing Yan Changfeng¡¯s outstanding talent in sword arts. All kinds of top-notch sword techniques seemed to be tailor-made for him, and every move could produce unexpected effects. Cheng Xu could feel that even if he learned these sword techniques with the Cultivationputer, it would be difficult for him to disy the same effect as Yan Changfeng. Unless one raised the level of Martial Arts Theory to a certain level or read a lot of Sword Art ssics, it was possible for one to reach the same level as Yan Changfeng. Liu Qiao from Shenluo Hall was not bad either. He could y with the Array Disk in all sorts of ways. It was a pity that he did not use Cheng Xu¡¯s multi-purpose Array Disk. Otherwise, his operation would have been even more impressive. Boom! The battle between the two of them became more and more intense, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that Yan Changfeng did not use his full strength at all. ¡°You brat, although the management of the sect isn¡¯t that great, Changfeng¡¯s sessor is indeed impable.¡± Fu Yunzi, who was in the spectator stands, praised The master of Cloud Sect. ¡°As long as you¡¯re satisfied.¡± The enlightened person on the cloud smiled dryly and nodded. He looked at Yan Changfeng with gratified eyes. The other sects were also convinced and envious of Yan Changfeng¡¯s excellence. ¡°Changfeng¡¯s temperament and talent are obviously higher than ours. It would be great if my Mystic Arts Sect could have a junior like Yan Changfeng,¡± the Sect Leader sighed softly. ¡°Judging from Yan Changfeng¡¯s aura fluctuation, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll reach the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm soon, right?¡± Huyan Lie looked at the master of Cloud Sect with envy. Faced with the envious gazes from all sides, the Taoist Master on the Cloud Sect finally straightened his back and held his head high. Previously, the Cloud Sect had been humiliated by Cheng Xu. Now that Yan Changfeng had appeared, they finally regained some face. ¡°It¡¯s indeed going to be soon.¡± Perfected Cloud Stepping had a smug look on his face. After he finished speaking, he didn¡¯t forget to chat with Dan Yang Chi Yao, ¡°I just don¡¯t know what the oue will be if he go up against Cheng Xu.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Perfected Dan Yang said indifferently, ¡°Little Cheng¡¯s performance has already made our Medicine Celestial Valley proud. Even if he loses to Yan Changfeng in the end, it¡¯s not embarrassing. After all, he was picked up for free!¡± The corners of Taoist Master Cloud Sect mouth twitched crazily. He had wanted to calm himself down by mocking him but he did not expect to be killed by Perfected Dan Yang. Below, the spectators were all shouting in shock. In the middle of the arena, theyers of formationsid down by Liu Qiao had been ruthlessly broken by Yan Changfeng. The situation was precarious. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. If Brother Liu has any moves, you should hurry up and use them.¡± Yan Changfeng was dressed in white, standing proudly on the flying sword. His eyes were calm and confident. From his words, it could be heard that the reason why he was dragging things out with Liu Qiao until now was to give Liu Qiao some face. ¡°Brother Yan is still the same Brother Yan. I thought I had caught up to Brother Yan, but I didn¡¯t expect Brother Yan to widen the gap.¡± Liu Qiao sighed. ¡°Since Brother Yan has given me face, I will do my best.¡± The noisy arena quickly quieted down. Everyone thought that Liu Qiao was going to reveal some powerful trump card, but they didn¡¯t expect him to only take out a new set of Array Disks from his storage bag. For a moment, everyone was stunned. ¡°What the hell? You just changed an Array Disk?¡± ¡°Could it be that this formation te is hiding something?¡± Everyone from the Scorching Sun Sect looked at the Array Disk in Liu Qiao¡¯s hand with a strange expression. On the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s side, Cheng Xu and Jian Yuxiang were dumbfounded. ¡°This¡­¡± Jian Yuxiang looked at Cheng Xu with a strange expression. ¡°So this is Liu Qiao¡¯s trump card?¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry as he rubbed his nose. He didn¡¯t know what to say. That¡¯s right, the Array Disk in Liu Qiao¡¯s hand was his [Alpha Dog] multi-purpose Array Disk. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem with the Array Disk?¡± Tang Xuan and Miao Changsheng were curious. Jian Yuxiang exined the origin of the Array Disk with a smile, which stunned Tang Xuan and the others. In the spectator stands, Huyan Lie naturally saw through the origin of the Array Disk. He originally wanted tough at the Shenluo Hall, but on second thought, he fell into a deep helplessness. Even Shenluo Hall had chosen the dog tag Array disk. What future would there be for the Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disk business? ¡°Interesting, isn¡¯t this the dog tag Array Disk that is currently in the limelight in Floating Immortal City? But then again,¡± Fu Yunzi teased, ¡°with the Array Formation legacy of the Shenluo Hall, this Array Disk will indeed be effective.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard about that Array Disk. It¡¯s indeed not bad. But it¡¯s too ridiculous to rely on that Array Disk to win against Changfeng.¡± The Master of Cloud Sect nodded and smiled. While they were chatting andughing, Liu Qiao had already begun to use the dog tag Array Disk to show off. Needless to say, thebination of Liu Qiao and the dog tag Array Disk was quite effective. In less than a moment, Yan Changfeng was trapped inyers of formations, and then he began to be harassed and attacked by Liu Qiao¡¯s flying swords and magic treasures. ¡°What a fast formation speed. However, a formation of this level won¡¯t be able to trap me!¡± While Yan Changfeng easily parried the flying swords attacks, he used a few sword techniques to break through theyers of formations. Then, he stepped on his flying sword and soared into the air. He turned into a meteor like sword light and smashed down towards Liu Qiao, drawing a beautiful diagonal line in the air. As soon as this move was used, the entire crowd cried out in surprise. This was because what Yan Changfeng was performing was the supreme sword technique of the Cloud Sect, the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. Boom! Liu Qiao¡¯s defensive formation was easily prated, and he fell off the stage with a muffled groan. ¡°Thank you for your mercy, Brother Yan.¡± Liu Qiao sighed and thanked Yan Changfeng. ¡°1 didn¡¯t expect Brother Yan to have alreadyprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. I¡¯m afraid that the champion¡¯s seat will be yours.¡± He also understood that Yan Changfeng had given him enough respect by defeating him with the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. Yan Changfeng smiled faintly and did not say anything. Liu Qiao bitterly looked at the dog tag Disk Array in his hand and sighed in his heart, ¡°If only this Array Disk could be used to construct a Tier 3 Array.¡± On the other side, Huyan Zan and Xue Lingyu looked at each other in admiration when they saw Yan Changfeng using the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. Cheng Xu was also shocked by the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. Although Yan Changfeng had intentionally restrained his strength when he unleashed it, afraid that he would cripple Liu Qiao, Cheng Xu could still feel the terrifying power contained in that beautiful sh. ¡°The Flying Cloud Meteor Sword lives up to its reputation!¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but praise. ¡°How about it, Senior Brother? Are you confident that you can fight Yan Changfeng?¡± Miao Changsheng asked softly. ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Cheng Xu replied with a faint smile. Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang were shocked. ¡°Has Junior Brother Cheng reached such a level? That¡¯s the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword!¡± Tang Xuan gulped. ¡°It¡¯s a heaven-defying sword technique that can easily kill cultivators of the same level!¡± Cheng Xu smiled but did not say anything. What a joke. Even if he disregarded the system¡¯s cheat, he still had a bunch of powerful moves that he had yet to use. In the spectator stands, the leaders of various parties congratted Taoist Master of Cloud Sect. Fu Yunzi threw his head back andughed loudly. One had to know that even he, who was extremely talented back then, could not understand the mysteries of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. The only person in the Cloud Sect that caught his eye was Yan Changfeng, the stunning junior. ¡°Quickly tell me, to what extent has this childprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword?¡± Fu Yunzi asked Reverend Ta Yun excitedly. The enlightened person replied respectfully, ¡°Little Uncle-Master, Changfeng has alreadyprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword two years ago.. Now, he has ascended to the sky and is in the position of the star of authority!¡± Chapter 71 - 71: Teaching the Use of Array Disks Chapter 71: Teaching the Use of Array Disks Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°What?!¡± Fu Yunzi stood up in shock and stared at Yan Changfeng, who was on the stage, pleasantly surprised. ¡°In just two short years, he has already ascended to the Megrez Star Position. Even those sages of the Cloud Sect probably can¡¯t reach that level, right?¡± Master Tan Yun Of Cloud Sect had a proud look on his face. He was just short of writing the word ¡®smug¡¯ on his face. The leaders of the various sects in the surrounding area were also shocked. The various sects had some records of the Cloud Sect¡¯s [Flying Cloud Meteor Sword]. This sword technique was divided into eight levels. The first seven levels corresponded to the Seven Star Position of the Big Dipper, and the eighth level was the Seven Stars Return to One. And what the Megrez Star Position corresponded to was the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword¡¯s fourth level. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Yan Changfeng had alreadyprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword to the fourth realm.¡± The Shenluo Hall Master was envious. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to touch the legendary Seven Stars Return to One in the future.¡± ¡°Inparison, our little fellows are reallycking.¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect couldn¡¯t help but feel a myriad of emotions. ¡°Among the younger generation, I¡¯m afraid no one can bepared to Yan Changfeng.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we have such luck? If the Scorching Sun Sect could produce such a disciple,¡± Huyan Lie sighed, ¡°I would wake upughing even in my dreams.¡± Even though Dan Yang and Chi Yao did not say anything, they were extremely impressed by Yan Changfeng¡¯s talent. As for the duel between Cheng Xu and Yan Changfeng, the two of them did not have any hope at all. To them, the fact that Cheng Xu had been able to reach this point had already given the Medicine Celestial Valley enough face. After Fu Yunzi¡¯s joy, he whispered something to Daoist Master Tan Yun which made him extremely excited. As soon as the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was used, Yan Changfeng was in the limelight. No one dared to challenge him in the following matches. Even Huyan Zan and Xue Lingyu chose to admit defeat without hesitation after drawing Yan Changfeng, let alone the others. As thepetition progressed, the yers had a clear understanding of their own strength. When they drew an opponent that they couldn¡¯t beat, they would basically choose to admit defeat and save more strength to deal with opponents that weren¡¯t too far apart. As a result, the pace of the subsequent matches became much faster. As the biggest dark horse of this year¡¯s Martial Arts Competition, Cheng Xu¡¯s strength had already been unanimously recognized by the entire audience. Especially after defeating Huyan Zan, other than the four Heaven¡¯s Favorites, the other contestants would choose to admit defeat when they drew him. Therefore, in the following rounds of draw matches, Cheng Xu was idle. No one dared to fight him. After a boring wait, it was finally the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s turn to draw lots. Cheng Xu leaped into the air and grabbed a ball of light. His eyes lit up. At the same time, everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Xue Lingyu from the Mystic Arts Sect. That¡¯s right, the person Cheng Xu drew was Xue Lingyu. ¡°Haha, Fairy Xue wouldn¡¯t admit defeat, right?¡± Cheng Xu looked eagerly at Xue Lingyu, who was in the Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s team. ¡°Of course not!¡± Xue Lingyu entered the stage amidst the cheers of her fellow disciples. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of provocation. ¡°That True Fire Magic Art of yours may be able to gain some advantage over Brother Huyan, but it won¡¯t be able to gain any advantage over me.¡± ¡°Seeing Fairy Xue so confident, this one can rest assured.¡± Cheng Xu was satisfied. ¡°Fairy, please use whatever moves you have. I¡¯ll take it.¡± Xue Lingyu snorted, and strings of dark golden talismans swirled around her. The entire audience quieted down at the same time. The battle was about to start. However, what everyone did not expect was¡­ Cheng Xu didn¡¯t use any incantations or spells rted to the Red and White mes. Instead, he took out a set of Array Disks. The crowd was stunned, especially the people from the Shenluo Hall. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Array te?¡± ¡°Is he going to use formation techniques to fight Xue Lingyu?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? Even if Liu Qiao were to face Xue Lingyu, he would only be able to use formations as support, right?¡± ¡°The key is, does he know formations?¡± ¡°This¡­ Brother Cheng is quite skilled in formations.¡± Yue Yang, who was in the Shenluo Hall team, said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s even more powerful than our disciples.¡± ¡°Senior Brother Yue, are you serious?¡± Facing the doubts of his fellow disciples, Yue Yang didn¡¯t exin much. He stared straight at Cheng Xu on the stage. Liu Qiao quickly recognized the Array disk in Cheng Xu¡¯s hand. However, when he thought of Cheng Xu¡¯s rtionship with Jian Yuxiang, it wasn¡¯t strange. Although he knew that Cheng Xu knew a little about arrays, he was really not too sure about his exact level. ¡°Even though the dog tag Array Disk is strong, it¡¯s still extremely difficult to use it well. Moreover, the opponent is Fairy Lingyu.¡± Liu Qiao analyzed thoughtfully. During this period of time, he had spent a lot of effort to master the usage of the dog tag Array Disk in actualbat. Now that the dog tag Array Disk had just been released, he believed that no one could surpass him in using the dog tag Array Disk. However, the next second, Cheng Xu¡¯s actions on the stage stunned him. ¡°What is it? Can the formation te be used like this?¡± On the battle stage, Xue Lingyu did not hold back at all. She started with high-level talisman techniques. Talismans were condensed out of thin air by her, turning into dozens of poisonous stingers that emitted green smoke, surrounding Cheng Xu from all directions. Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Cheng Xu held the Array Disk in his hand and, with an astonishing speed, propped up a Tier 2 Storm Array, easily blocking the attacks of dozens of poisonous stingers. What was even more terrifying was that after Cheng Xu blocked the poisonous sting attack, he quickly adjusted the array needles on the Array Disk and actually set up a second-grade Profound Ice Array on the basis of the Storm Array. The energy arrays of the two formations reflected each other on the Array Disk. They lived in harmony and did not interfere with each other. At this scene, regardless of whether they understood Array Formations or not, they were all stunned. In the spectating area, the Master of Shenluo Hall sat up in shock. He thought that he was hallucinating. ¡°Building two sets of Array Formations on a single Array Disk at the same time, this¡­ Flow is that possible?¡± Liu Qiao had been able to cast so many arrays at the same time because he had used an array magic treasure and because of the special techniques of the Shenluo Hall, which allowed the array to be maintained for a period of time. However, Cheng Xu was different. He had directly constructed two sets of arrays on the Array Disk, and they did not interfere with each other. Even the people of the Shenluo Hall, who were good at arrays, had their eyes opened to such a miraculous operation. ¡°Eh? This little fellow is pretty good at Array Formations!¡± Even though Fu Yunzi was not very good at formations, he could see how miraculous Cheng Xu¡¯s actions were. ¡°Could it be because of the Array Disk?¡± Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in surprise. The Shenluo Hall Master pondered. ¡°ording to the special nature of the Array Disk, theoretically, it is indeed possible to activate the Storm Array and the ck Ice Array at the same time. However, it is only theoretically possible. Moreover, it requires the ability to multitask and the support of powerful Spiritual Power.¡± ¡°Does that mean it¡¯s feasible?¡± Huyan Lie was deep in thought, and suddenly asked, ¡°Can our Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s Array Disk do this?¡± ¡°No.¡± The Shenluo Hall Master said without hesitation. ¡°There¡¯s no theoretical possibility?¡± ¡°No, there isn¡¯t.¡± Hearing this, Huyan Lie felt awkward and helpless at the same time. ¡°But then again, Cheng Xu actually knows Array Formations.¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao meaningfully. ¡°I¡¯ve seen him fiddle with formations before, but I didn¡¯t expect his formation skills to reach such a level.¡± Daoist Master Chi Yao nodded with a dry smile. ¡°Do it yourself? Didn¡¯t anyone teach him?¡± The Shenluo Hall Master asked in surprise. ¡°Not really.¡± Daoist Chi Yao shook his head. The Shenluo Hall Master could not help but gasp.. ¡°To be able to learn to this extent by self-study, how heaven-defying is this child¡¯s talent in Array Formations?¡± Chapter 72 - 72: Teaching the Use of Array Disks (Part 2) Chapter 72: Teaching the Use of Array Disks (Part 2) Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Is it that powerful?¡± Daoist Master Cloud Sect sounded a little upset. ¡°It¡¯s not just powerful,¡± the Shenluo Hall Master said with a meaningful analogy. ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way, to be able to self-study formations to this extent is no different from relying on oneself toprehend the fifthyer of the Cloud Sword Scripture.¡± Hearing the Shenluo Hall Master mention the Cloud Sword Technique, Master Tan Yun felt even more sour. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they had Yan Changfeng, who was even more outstanding, he would have exploded. The key was that Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in swordsmanship wasn¡¯t the only thing that was shocking. His talent in other aspects seemed to be heaven-defying. There was no need to talk about his alchemy talent, but even his Array Formation talent was so heaven-defying? Such an all-rounded talent was actually expelled from the sect by his subordinates and even picked up by his friends. No one would feel good about it. ¡°Fellow Daoist Chi Yao, why don¡¯t you let this childe to our Shenluo Hall? The conditions are negotiable.¡± Shenluo Hall Master looked at Perfected Chi Yao with a serious expression. It was obvious that they weren¡¯t joking. ¡°Do fellow Daoist think it¡¯s possible?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren rolled his eyes. ¡°With this child¡¯s talent in formations, it would be a pity if he didn¡¯te to the Shenluo Hall.¡± ¡°Little Cheng¡¯s talent in alchemy is the best. It¡¯s better for him to stay in our Medicine Celestial Valley.¡± Perfected Chi Yao curled his lips. Seeing that the Shenluo Hall Master didn¡¯t hesitate to poach him, Huyan Lie couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°Why don¡¯t we let hime to our Scorching Sun Sect to try? Let¡¯s see how talented he is in refining artifacts.¡± Originally, Huyan Lie had only said it casually and teased him. Chi Yao Zhenren said seriously, ¡°I remember that besides working on formations, Little Cheng was also working on some things rted to artifact crafting.¡± ¡°¡­!¡± Huyan Lie was stunned, ¡°What do you mean? This child really knows how to refine artifacts?¡± ¡°I definitely know a little. As for the exact level, I¡¯m not too sure.¡± Daoist Chi Yao says smilingly. Hearing this, the sect leaders looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect could not help but ask, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s also rted to talisman arts?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t pay much attention to this, but I did see some talisman papers in his cave.¡± As they spoke, the battle on the stage once again attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Although Xue Lingyu was also shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s godlike array operation, it wasn¡¯t difficult for her to deal with it. Seeing that she was enveloped in the range of the ck Ice Array, Xue Lingyu immediately cast the Earth Shrinking Talisman and teleported outside the array. The talisman around her floated and summoned a blue sword of light that descended from the sky. It carried a terrifying aura and bombarded the lightyer of the array. Boom! Under the impact of the blue light sword, the ck Ice Array and the Storm Array shattered one after another and continued to smash towards Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be careless. At the same time he raised his Protective Upstanding Qi, his body was surrounded by Red and White mes. As the dual-colored mes surged, they condensed into a gorgeous me coat outside his body. It was one of the fire-type spells he had learned before the Martial Arts Competition, [ming Magnificent Robe]. Unlike the Nine Layered me Wave, the ming Magnificent Robe was a defensive spell with extremely strong defensive effects. Especially when used with the Red me and White me, its defensive ability was even more shocking. Bang! Xue Lingyu¡¯s blue light easily broke through the Protective Upstanding Qi, but it was blocked by Huo Huayi. The Red and White mes quickly spread to the blue sword of light, burning and dissipating it in the blink of an eye. ¡°He still held back?¡± Xue Lingyu was shocked. It wasn¡¯t just him. All the contestants below the stage were shocked. She thought that Huyan Zan had forced Cheng Xu to reveal all his trump cards, but he didn¡¯t expect Cheng Xu to still have a trump card up his sleeve. In other words, Cheng Xu didn¡¯t use his full strength when he defeated Huyan Zan. ¡°My God, how many more things is this guy hiding?¡± ¡°Why do 1 feel like he has the ability to fight Yan Changfeng?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. Yan Changfeng is a unique existence.¡± ¡°Although he can¡¯tpare to Yan Changfeng, he¡¯s still very powerful.¡± Unlike the other yers, Liu Qiao was still immersed in the shock of the double formation, unable to calm down for a long time. He had thought that he had already developed the potential of the Array Disk to the extreme. He did not expect that there was an existence that was even more powerful than him. What was even more unbelievable was that Cheng Xu¡¯s speed of setting up the array seemed to be much faster than his. On the stage, the battle continued. After the blue light sword was blocked by Cheng Xu, Xue Lingyu continued to attack, bombarding Cheng Xu with all kinds of powerful talisman moves. Although Cheng Xu could easily block it with the me Magnificent Robe, the me Magnificent Robe consumed a lot of primeval essence. He couldn¡¯t drag it out for too long. He had to hurry up and end the battle. As a result, amidst the exmations of the crowd, Cheng Xu once again used the Array Disk to set up two array formations. Under the dual effects of the Armor Removal Array and the Spirit Absorption Array, Xue Lingyu was significantly weakened. Just as Xue Lingyu was about to use the Earth Shrinking Talisman to get out of the array¡¯s range, she was interrupted by a ¡°Qi¡± word that rose above Cheng Xu¡¯s head. ¡°Damn it!¡± Xue Lingyu hurriedly stabilized her aura, and the floating talismans around her quickly turned into a series of yellow talisman papers to protect her body. At the same time, Cheng Xu¡¯s Nine Layer me Wave had already attacked. Boom! The Nine Layered me Waves came wave after wave, and their power increasedyer byyer. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Xue Lingyu, who had clearly been struck down by the Nine Layered me Wave, had strangely turned into a pile of talisman paper ashes. Before Cheng Xu could react to what was going on, a chill came from behind him. Bang! A flying sword wrapped inyers of talismans sent Cheng Xu flying. Even though he was protected by the me Magnificent Robe and the Spirit-infused Inner Armor, it still made Cheng Xu feel as if his blood was boiling. Looking back, Xue Lingyu¡¯s figure had already appeared on the flying sword. ¡°I originally prepared a move for Brother Yan, but in the end, I used it on Brother Cheng.¡± Xue Lingyuughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°Brother Cheng¡¯s strength is astonishing. I¡¯mpletely convinced.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Not fighting anymore?¡± Cheng Xu was also stunned. Xue Lingyu shook her head bitterly. ¡°Just now, that sword has already been my strongest strike, the first strike.¡± After she finished speaking, she sighed and returned to her seat at the Mystic Arts Sect. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she was indeed no match for Cheng Xu. She could even vaguely feel that Cheng Xu still had a trump card that he had not used. Following Xue Lingyu¡¯s defeat, people gradually realized that Cheng Xu¡¯s strength was stronger than they had expected. Perhaps he really had the ability topete with Yan Changfeng. In the spectator stands, the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect could only sigh regretfully, while Dan Yang and Chi Yao were overjoyed. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Cheng Xu¡¯s series of performances could be said to have helped the Medicine Celestial Valley gain the limelight. Especially the envious looks from the leaders of the various sects, it made the two of them feel even more pleased. ¡°The Medicine Celestial Valley has really picked up a treasure!¡± The Shenluo Hall could not help but sigh with envy. In contrast, the expressions of the people from the Cloud Sect were somewhatplicated. ¡°After thepetition ends, the sect needs to be properly reorganized.¡± Fu Yunzi looked at Daoist Master Tan Yun coldly. ¡°Please rest assured, Little Uncle-Master.¡± Daoist Master Tan Yun gritted his teeth and nodded. He was obviously holding back his anger. If Cheng Xu represented the Cloud Sect today, wouldn¡¯t the Cloud Sect be in the limelight? As he spoke, Fu Yunzi¡¯s expression changed slightly. His cold eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the horizon. When the leaders of the various sects saw this, they subconsciously looked over, and their expressions instantly darkened. Soon, a few sinisterughs came from the horizon. ¡°Hahaha, what a good Demon Suppression Martial Competition.. i wonder if it can suppress us!¡± Chapter 73 - 73: Fu Yunzi’s Intimidation Chapter 73: Fu Yunzi¡¯s Intimidation Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The originally clear horizon soon revealed monstrous ck Qi and Blood Qi. The disciples of the various sects below the stage all eximed in shock. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The Demonic Sect is attacking?¡± ¡°Impossible. If the Demonic Sect were tounch arge-scale attack, the various sects would definitely receive the news at the first possible moment.¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s going on? The person who came is obviously a demonic cultivator!¡± ¡°Eh? There didn¡¯t seem to be many people here.¡± In the Cloud Sect¡¯s team, Yan Changfeng frowned. ¡°It¡¯s true that only a few people came, but they¡¯re all great devils of the Golden Core stage.¡± ¡°What do the devils want?¡± Yang Tianqi was puzzled. ¡°Now that all the experts from the various sects are gathered on the Cloud Treading Summit, and there¡¯s also the Great Uncle-Master guarding the ce, aren¡¯t they just sending themselves to their deaths with their meager manpower?¡± ¡°No!¡± Yan Changfeng vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He stared at the familiar ck-robed middle-aged man,¡± The aura of the Blood Demon Church¡¯s Cult Master¡­¡± Even Yan Changfeng could tell that something was wrong, so could the leaders of the various parties in the spectator stands. Looking at the demonic cultivators standing in the sky above the Cloud Treading Summit, the expressions of the sect leaders were unprecedentedly solemn. Because they could feel that the current Blood Demon Church Master had sessfully transformed into a Core Transformation Realm expert, and he had be a powerhouse who could crush all of them. Only Fu Yunzi¡¯s expression was calm. He rose into the air and confronted the demonic cultivators. ¡°No wonder he¡¯s so bold. It turns out that the Blood Demon Church Cult Master has broken through to the Core Transformation Realm.¡± Fu Yunzi was not afraid at all. Instead, he sized up the Demonic Sect people with interest. Below, Perfected Chi Yao had aplicated expression. Obviously, he didn¡¯t expect the Blood Demon Church Sect Master to break through to the Core Transformation Realm so quickly. He had clearly already caused his cultivation to go berserk! ¡°Fellow Daoist Chi Yao, ah, Fellow Daoist Chi Yao, you shouldn¡¯t have given him that Cracking Pill, right?¡± The Shenluo Hall Master sighed and said, ¡°This is great. This demon has already reached the Core Transformation Realm. Even with Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s help, we might not be his match.¡± ¡°No, no, I deliberately left a hidden danger on the Cracking Pill, which greatly reduced the sess rate of assisting the transformation. Moreover, he was already possessed by Qi deviation at that time, so it was impossible for him to transform into a pill so easily.¡± Daoist Chi Yao analyzed. Hearing this, the sect leaders were bewildered. ¡°Could it be that the Demonic Sect has already found a shortcut to quickly transform pills?¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was secretly worried. At the same time, the younger generation of disciples below were so frightened that they did not dare to speak. Everyone was nervously paying attention to every move of the demonic cultivators above. Cheng Xu was no exception. While Cheng Xu was curiously observing the Blood Demon Church Cult Master, Xu Lu, who was beside the Blood Demon Church Master, was also sizing him up with a faint smile. Apart from the experts of the various major demon sects, the Demonic Sect had also brought a few younger generation demonic cultivators. Inparison, Xu Lu¡¯s Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was the weakest among them. The other few were all Late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic geniuses without exception! From this, it could be seen that the Demonic Sect was far more powerful than they had imagined. ¡°It¡¯s over, Senior Brother. Do you think we¡¯re all going to die here today?¡± Miao Changsheng panicked and was terrified. ¡°That¡¯s not necessary.¡± Cheng Xuforted him. ¡°The Demonic Sect only sent this few people this time. Even if we can¡¯t beat them, we can still escape. Moreover, 1 feel that Senior Fu Yunzi should have something to rely on.¡± ¡°What if Cloud Mountain has already been surrounded by the demonic army?¡± Miao Changsheng said worriedly. ¡°¡­Can¡¯t you think positively?¡± Cheng Xu said unhappily. Miao Changsheng finally shut his mouth. Tang Xuan was secretly confused. ¡°Strange, what does the demonic sect want?¡± It couldn¡¯t be as simple as stirring up the Demon Suppression Martial Competition, right?¡± Soon, everyone could hear the intentions of the Demonic Sect from the conversation between Fu Yunzi and the Blood Demon Church Master. ¡°It¡¯s the Suppressing Demon Martial Competition. How can we not have our demonic figures?¡± The Blood Demon Church Master looked around the entire Cloud Treading Peak with confidence. He didn¡¯t put the people below in his eyes. Only Chi Yao Zhenren made him pause for a moment. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be helped. The power of the [True Word of Qi] from back then was still fresh in his memory. ¡°Why? You guys didn¡¯te today just to join in the fun, right?¡± Fu Yunzi asked calmly. ¡°Of course not. Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect, you should have received the letter I sent through my beloved daughter, right?¡± The Blood Demon Church Master curled his lips and smiled. Unfortunately, he hadn¡¯t received any response. Could he use this opportunity to chat with fellow daoists? Hearing this, Fu Yunzi asked in confusion, ¡°Strange, why do you people of the Demonic Sect want to put that thing?¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s up to us if we want to force it out. As long as Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect hands over that thing, everything will be fine.¡± ¡°Do you know the use of that object?¡± Fu Yunzi frowned. The Blood Demon Sect Master and the leaders of the other great devil sects looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. The Righteous Dao people below were confused and curious about what the ¡°object¡± they were talking about was. ¡°What do you think, Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect? Are you going to hand over the item, or am I going to take it personally?¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master revealed a threatening expression. ¡°Fellow Daoist should be very clear about the difference between the Golden Core Stage and the Core Transformation Stage. Although Fellow Daoist is about to transform into a Core, you still haven¡¯t taken that step, right?¡± Fu Yunzi had an indifferent expression. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you can give it a try.¡± Everyone was stunned. He was very confident in his own strength, which was why he dared to say such words in front of a Core Transformation cultivator. Most importantly, the Blood Demon Church Master was really frightened. He looked at Fu Yunzi with a cold gaze and didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. ¡°It seems that my guess is correct. I¡¯m afraid that Fellow Daoist has already reached the Core Transformation Realm.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled nomittally, his expression filled with pride and confidence. This news encouraged all the righteous path forces. From the words of the Blood Demon Church Master, it wasn¡¯t hard to tell that as long as Fu Yunzi wanted to transform into a core, he could enter the Core Transformation Realm at any time. The reason why he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly was because he was afraid of Fu Yunzi¡¯s power. Cheng Xu saw everything and was puzzled. Strange, since Fu Yunzi could transform into a Core at any time, why didn¡¯t he step into the Core Transformation Realm as soon as possible? Could it be that the earlier the Core Transformation Realm, the better? Or could it be that the longer it was settled, the stronger it would be after bing a core? The stronger the aftereffect? Looking at the Demonic Sect¡¯s side, the other Demonic Sect experts did not seem to understand the Blood Demon Sect Master¡¯s timid performance. ¡°Brother Blood Demon, what are you doing? You¡¯re already a Core Transformation cultivator. Are you afraid of a Peak Golden Core cultivator?¡± The ck Water Mystic Pce cultivator was puzzled. ¡°With our help, can he safely transcend the Core Transformation Heavenly Tribtion?¡± ¡°You may not know this, but the Core Transformation Realm is very mysterious.¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master secretly said regretfully,¡± From the moment 1 entered the Core Transformation stage, 1 have always regretted it. I can feel that once Fu Yunzi bes a Core cultivator, his strength will be at least twice as strong as mine.¡± ¡°Hiss¡­ Is the difference between the Core Transformation stage and the Core Transformation stage that big?¡± The devil cultivator from the ck Water Mystic Pce was secretly shocked, ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t it be even harder for him to enter the Core Transformation Realm?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but at Fu Yunzi¡¯s level, the Core Transformation Heavenly Tribtion is probably not that difficult for him.¡± ¡°Then what should we do? It wasn¡¯t easy to find some clues. He couldn¡¯t just give up like this, right?¡± The Blood Demon Church Master pondered for a long time and said, ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, I can only take the risk.¡± ¡°Alright, 1¡¯11 listen to you then, fellow Daoist Blood Demon¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The ck Water Mystic Pce devil cultivator nodded slightly and turned to look at the young devil cultivator beside him. ¡°What if they don¡¯t admit it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the biggest weakness of orthodox cultivators is their pride, not to mention in such an asion.¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master smiled faintly.. Chapter 74 - 74: Devil Dao Prodigy Chapter 74: Devil Dao Prodigy Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Seeing that Fu Yunzi wasn¡¯t afraid of the threat, the Blood Demon Cult Master¡¯s expression instantly changed. ¡°Haha, 1 was just joking with Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master¡¯s face remained unflushed as he said, ¡°We are all people who cherish our lives. It has not been easy for us to cultivate to our level. Fighting and killing is indeed not suitable.¡± As soon as he said this, the righteous path people instantly looked at him with disdain. ¡°What, you don¡¯t want that thing anymore?¡± Fu Yunzi asked with a smile. ¡°Cough cough¡­ But we can change the method.¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master changed the topic. ¡°I see that your Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition is quite organized. However, since it¡¯s called the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Conference, why don¡¯t you let our little fellows from the Demonic Sect participate?¡± ¡°If the choices of our demons are stronger, 1 hope Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect can hand over that thing to us.¡± Hearing this, the righteous path people instantly understood the demonic path¡¯s intentions. Fu Yunzi unconsciously frowned. After all, the few devil path geniuses that the other party had brought were basically at the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, clearly a level higher than the younger generation of the righteous path. However, with the strength of Yan Changfeng and the other kids, it was not as if they did not have the ability to fight. At least, he was very confident in Yan Changfeng. ¡°Then what if our righteous path¡¯s little fellow is better?¡± Fu Yunzi asked. The leader of the Blood Demon Sect was stunned for a moment andughed. ¡°If Fellow Daoist thinks it¡¯s possible, you can state your request.¡± ¡°Alright, if my Righteous Dao prodigy is better, then tell me the use of that item. How about it?¡± Fu Yunzi said calmly. The Blood Demon Cult Master seemed to be very confident in those few devil path elites. He said nonchntly, ¡°Sure, but let me make it clear first. We don¡¯t know much about this thing.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. He raised his hand and invited the demonic path members to enter the arena before he turned around and floated back to the spectating area. ¡°Senior, why did you agree with them?¡± The leaders of the various sects crowded around him. ¡°There¡¯s no harm in letting them spar with the younger generation of the demonic path in advance,¡± Fu Yunzi said calmly, ¡°It can also make the little ones feel a sense of urgency.¡± ¡°But the other party clearly came prepared.¡± Taoist Master Ta Yun frowned and said, ¡°Those demonic youths don¡¯t look simple.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what makes it interesting,¡± Fu Yunzi said with a smile, ¡°If they can¡¯t even deal with a few demonic path kids, how can they carry the banner of the righteous path in the future?¡± ¡°Senior Fu Yunzi is right.¡± Huyan Lie nodded secretly. ¡°Anyway, with that kid Yan Changfeng backing us up, the chances of losing should not be high.¡± When Yan Changfeng was mentioned, everyone looked confident. The Flying Cloud Meteor Sword in the fourth realm was not a joke, not to mention that Yan Changfeng was almost in the Late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. ¡°Right, Little Uncle-Master, what exactly is the thing that the Devil Dao wants?¡± Master Tan Yun asked curiously. ¡°This old man only obtained that item by chance. It¡¯s very strange, but I¡¯ve never been able to figure out its specific use.¡± Fu Yunzi¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. Taoist Master Tan Yun nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, ¡°Now that the leaders of the various Demon Church sects are here, is Little Uncle-Master confident¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s easier said than done to kill a Core Transformation Realm cultivator.¡± With the arrival of the Demonic Sect delegation, the elite disciples of the various sects were already rubbing their fists, eager to give it a try. As for the Devil¡¯s pride, they vividly illustrated what was called insolence and arrogance. One of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators directly leaped into the center of the battle stage. He looked at the crowd and began to spout nonsense. ¡°Jiang Hong of the Yama Demon Sect, which fellow daoist dares toe up and fight?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be that no one dares to ept the challenge, right? How dare you call this the Demon Suppression Martial Competition? In my opinion, it¡¯s better to change the name to the Cowardly Turtle Martial Arts Competition.¡± Jiang Hong¡¯s mockery instantly ignited the anger of the orthodox disciples. ¡°D*mn, aren¡¯t these demonic cultivators too arrogant?¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a Late-stage Foundation Establishment chicken. He really thinks he¡¯s a dish!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant, demon!¡± Huyan Zan had a fiery temper and was the first to rush forward to fight. ¡°I¡¯d like to see how much of an exaggeration your Late-stage Foundation Establishment strength is!¡± With Huyan Zan¡¯s appearance, the audience instantly cheered loudly. The disciples of the five sects united and cheered for Huyan Zan. In the spectator stands, the leaders of the various sects also stopped their small talk and looked forward to Huyan Zan¡¯s performance. On the Medicine Celestial Valley side, Cheng Xu secretly read Jiang Hong¡¯s data while frowning and analyzing, ¡°The people sent by the Devil Dao are probably not simple. Huyan Zan, it¡¯s best not to be careless.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± Tang Xuan agreed. ¡°They should be elites of the demonic path on the same level as that demoness, and they had many advantages in terms of cultivation.¡± With Cheng Xu¡¯s current configuration, even if he didn¡¯t activate the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, the reading speed was already very fast. Before the two people on the stage started fighting, Jiang Hong¡¯s interface information had already appeared in front of Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu¡¯s idea was also very simple. At the critical moment, he would force Jiang Hong to ¡°Silence¡± or help him press ¡°sh¡± or something. Anyway, no one would notice him. However, before he could even begin to implement it, it was directly strangled in the cradle by that demoness Xu Lu. ¡°Brother Jiang, put this on, lest you fall for some people¡¯s tricks!¡± Xu Lu smiled sweetly and threw a Spiritual Will Defense Magic Treasure to Jiang Hong on the stage. After she was done, she did not forget to cast a meaningful look at Cheng Xu. ¡°Hmm?¡± Jiang Hong was obviously a little confused. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, right?¡± ¡°Listen to this little sister¡¯s advice. This little sister has suffered quite a few setbacks in this matter before.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s Sister Xu¡¯s kind intentions, then I¡¯ll dly ept it.¡± Although Jiang Hong was a little puzzled, he still epted the beauty¡¯s kindness and brought the Spiritual Will Defense Magic Treasure with him. In the next second, the data panel in front of Cheng Xu was cleared, and his entire body instantly stiffened. After gritting his teeth and looking at Xu Lu, he angrily raised his hand and stood up. ¡°No, this is unfair. How can you borrow someone else¡¯s magic weapon on the spot?¡± Under Cheng Xu¡¯s lead, the various sects teams soon erupted with mocking and questioning voices towards the demonic path. Fu Yunzi looked coldly at the demonic cultivators. ¡°Fellow Daoists, do you think this is appropriate?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry to make a fool of myself, Fellow Daoist.¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master smiled awkwardly and could only signal Jiang Hong to return the spiritual will magic treasure. ¡°Father!¡± Xu Lu said anxiously. ¡°Alright!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master frowned and reprimanded, ¡°You only gave out your magic treasure when he was already on stage. It¡¯d be strange if the other party agreed. If you give it to them before you go on stage, they naturally have nothing to say.¡± Xu Lu sighed and nodded helplessly. ¡°Why did the little sister of the Xu family insist on giving us this Spiritual Defensive Will Magic Treasure?¡± The young man from the ck Water Mystical Pce was confused. ¡°Elder brother, you might not know this, but the Medicine Celestial Valley disciple below has a strange spiritual sense of demonic art that can affect our cultivation techniques and moves without anyone noticing. Only Spiritual Will Defensive Magic Treasure can resist this demonic art.¡± ¡°Is there such a spell?¡± The devil cultivators at the side looked at each other, skeptical. ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit bizarre, it does exist.¡± Xu Lu said helplessly, ¡°Brother Jiang doesn¡¯t have any Spiritual Will Defense Magic Treasure to protect him right now. He¡¯ll definitely fall for itter. You¡¯ll know when the timees.¡± Even so, the demonic path people still did not quite believe it. At most, they paid more attention to Cheng Xu. At the same time, Huyan Zan and Jiang Hong had already started fighting. The cheers for Huyan Zan below the stage came in wave after wave, imperceptibly adding ayer of morale BUFF and bravery BUFF to Huyan Zan. Facing Jiang Hong, who was in the Late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was not at a disadvantage at all.. Chapter 75 - 75: A Strange Win Chapter 75: A Strange Win Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion However, Jiang Hong obviously didn¡¯t really make a move. After a round of probing, his eyes revealed some surprise. ¡°Interesting. Much more powerful than 1 expected.¡± Jiang Hong¡¯s body was surrounded by Crimson Genuine Qi. He punched and collided with Huyan Zan, and both sides were forced back. ¡°Unfortunately, he¡¯s only in the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡± ¡°To deal with you, the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm is enough!¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s aura was not weakened at all, once again attacking Jiang Hong fiercely. His punches and kicks were wide open and fierce. Every attack would create a thunderous sonic boom in the air, which was very scary. Seeing this, Jiang Hong of the Yama Demon Sect no longer hid anything. A thick baleful aura exploded from his body, and his muscles, skin, and meridians began to squirm strangely. For a time, he easily parried Huyan Zan¡¯s powerful attack. It gave people the feeling that an adult was ying a child. At this scene, the surrounding righteous path crowd gasped in shock. ¡°What powerful physical strength! Compared to Brother Huyan, I¡¯m afraid this person is a true body cultivator.¡± ¡°There are very few orthodox body cultivators. Although this person¡¯s physical strength is strong, it¡¯s clearly not the result of pure cultivation. At first nce, he seems to be much stronger than Brother Huyan,¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. ¡°However, his physical strength is definitely not as solid as Brother Huyan¡¯s.¡± ¡°What Brother Yan said makes sense.¡± Liu Qiao agreed. While the Righteous Dao members were shocked by Jiang Hong¡¯s strength, the Demonic Dao members were also shocked by Huyan Zan¡¯s strength. ¡°Yo, this guy called Huyan Zan isn¡¯t bad. If he can cooperate with the Yama Demon Sect¡¯s body refining secret technique, his achievements will probably be much more outstanding than Jiang Hong¡¯s.¡± The young man from the ck Water Mystical Pce was surprised. Xu Lu agreed with him. ¡°The few elites of the righteous path in Mini Southern Heaven are indeed strong. Even among the younger generation in the Great Southern Wastnd, they can be ranked among the top, especially that little Langjun called Yan Changfeng from the Cloud Sect.¡± Hearing this, the few elites of the Demonic Sect secretly looked at Yan Changfeng. ¡°Not bad, not bad. You can actually make me feel a trace of threat.¡± The youth¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Of course,pared to Big Brother Xiao, there¡¯s still quite a gap.¡± Xu Lu added with a smile, as if she was very confident in this young man surnamed Xiao. Boom! The fight on the stage was heart-wrenching. Facing Jiang Hong¡¯s powerful counterattack, Huyan Zan gradually began to struggle. He had no choice but to use the Fiery Sun Divine Body to parry. As soon as the giant me Phantom appeared, the entire stage was filled with heat waves. The me Phantom punched down and instantly pushed Jiang Hong back, scattering half of the ferocious aura around him. When the righteous path saw this, they shouted excitedly. Huyan Zan followed up the victory with the sound of support from the crowd. He controlled the me Phantom behind him and beat Jiang Hong until he jumped up and down. ¡°I underestimated you!¡± Jiang Hong sneered as he parried and dodged. Jiang Hong did not panic at all when he saw the ming sword condensed out of thin air and shed at him. As he roared, the fiendish aura in his body became even stronger. A series of blood-red skull-shaped magic treasures were spat out from his mouth and surrounded Jiang Hong, letting out hair-raising ghost cries. For a moment, the ce was filled with gusts of cold wind and wails of ghosts. The ming sword was easily blocked. More than a dozen skeleton magical equipment swarmed forward amidst a series of ghostly cries and started to gnaw at the arms of the ming sword and the ming shadow. ¡°What?!¡± Huyan Zan turned pale with fright and hurriedly controlled the me Phantom to retract his arms. The righteous path crowd below the stage also felt their scalps go numb. On the other hand, the demonic path people looked as if victory was in their grasp. ¡°Brother Jiang Hong, this string of Yama Beads is really getting more and more powerful.¡± The youth from the ck Water Mystical Pce nodded with a smile. ¡°Although Huyan Zan¡¯s moves are very strong, they are nothing in front of the Yama Bead.¡± On the stage, Jiang Hong smiled disdainfully. While controlling the dozen Demon Yama Beads to eat the ming Phantom, he punched Huyan Zan. ¡°It¡¯s over. I¡¯m afraid Brother Huyan is going to lose!¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s expression was solemn. The leaders of the righteous path in the spectating area could not help but sigh. However, in the next second, Jiang Hong, who was attacking Huyan Zan, strangely stopped halfway, directly stunning everyone. ¡°What happened? I low can my Yama Skill and Seven Fiend Fist¡­¡± Jiang Hong was dumbfounded. Before he could react to what was going on, the [Surging Evil Spirit] in his body suddenly circted on its own. The baleful aura in his body suddenly began to surge uncontrobly, and he could not stop it. Although his strength could be greatly increased in a short period of time under the surging baleful aura, he would not use this move unless it was absolutely necessary. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± The people from the demonic path were also dumbfounded. Especially the Yama Demon Sect¡¯s Sect Master, he was even more incredulous.¡± The demonic path geniuses beside him were also confused. Only Xu Lu and the Blood Demon Sect Master silently locked their gazes on Cheng Xu of the Medicine Celestial Valley. ¡°Everyone should believe what my daughter said now, right?¡± Hearing this, everyone from the demonic path was shocked. Only then did they recall Xu Lu¡¯s previous warning and their gazes focused on Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu was unmoved by the attention of the demonic path people. After all, as long as he didn¡¯t admit it, no one could prove that he was behind it. ¡°Looks like this devil path prodigy isn¡¯t very good either. He¡¯s only fought a few times and he¡¯s already starting to cause trouble?¡± Cheng Xu teased. As soon as he said this, Xu Lu gritted her teeth. In the match in the stands, although Jiang Hong sessfully ended the cirction of [Surging Evil Spirit], he was frustrated by the side effects of the Surging Evil Spirit. Although Huyan Zan did not know what was wrong with the other party, he knew that this was his chance. ¡°Demon, die!¡± The Divine Body of the Fiery Sun withstood the bite of the Yama Bead and attacked Jiang Hong with all his might. At the same time, the flying sword in Huyan Zan¡¯s hand also flew toward Jiang Hong. Jiang Hong hurriedly circted the Yama Technique again, but the cultivation technique had only circted for a few seconds before it stopped once again. Boom! Without the support of the cultivation technique, Jiang Hong was thrown into chaos. He was thrown off the stage by Huyan Zan¡¯s full force counterattack. He was in a sorry state. ¡°Damn it, this game doesn¡¯t count!¡± Jiang Hong¡¯s expression was ferocious. ¡°Again!¡± ¡°Alright, Hong ¡®er, a loss is a loss.¡± The Yama Demon Sect¡¯s Sect Master coldly nced at the righteous path leaders in the spectator stands and called Jiang I long back to his side. Jiang Hong felt wronged and unwilling, but he still retreated obediently. ¡°Damn it, what happened to me just now?¡± Jiang Hong, who had returned to the team, could not help butin to the other demonic prodigies. He gradually understood the strange existence of Cheng Xu. The righteous path did not know of Cheng Xu¡¯s secret contributions, everyone was cheering for Hu Yan Zan. In the spectator stands, Fu Yunzi and the others were also gratified and appreciative. Although the victory was a little strange, they had won the first round. Faced with the righteous path sects acting like they had taken advantage of them, the demonic path people were furious, but they could not find any evidence. Fortunately, Xu Lu had already equipped the other demonic path prodigies with Spiritual Will Defensive Magic treasure¡¯s in advance. ¡°Fellow Daoists, don¡¯t panic. 1¡¯11 go up and check out the situation for you.¡± Xu Lu confidently flew onto the stage and coldly nced at Cheng Xu. Although Huyan Zan had defeated Jiang Hong, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight. ¡°Brother Huyan, please rest for a while. I¡¯lle and meet this demoness!¡± Liu Qiao stood up bravely, preparing to rece Huyan Zan. At this moment, Cheng Xu suddenly stood up. ¡°Brother Liu, please calm down. She¡¯s just a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demoness. There¡¯s no need for Brother Liu to make a move. I¡¯ll do it.¡± After saying that, he directly went onto the stage without caring about the reactions of the other parties.. Chapter 76 - 76: Secret Blood Transfusion Technique Chapter 76: Secret Blood Transfusion Technique Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion It was not easy to encounter a chance to beat up the demoness, so Cheng Xu naturally could not miss it. As the representative of the Medicine Celestial Valley, he had to show his face. After defeating Xu Lu in this battle, he would be able to make the Medicine Celestial Valley proud in front of the Righteous Sect¡¯s, and at the same time, he would not be so ostentatious. It was the best of both worlds. As for the few Late-stage Foundation Establishment little devils, he would leave them to Yan Changfeng and the others. After all, he hade to fight for the championship of the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition solely for the sake of Frost and Rain. As long as he could defeat Yan Changfeng in the end, there was no need for him to get involved in this mess. Anyway, with Yan Changfeng backing them up, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for them to win against this bunch of Devil Sect elites. ¡°Brother Cheng, you can do it. I¡¯ll leave this demoness to you.¡± Huyan Zan was quite confident in Cheng Xu¡¯s strength. He returned to the Scorching Sun Sect to recover. Seeing Cheng Xu enter the ring, Liu Qiao smiled and returned to his seat. On the Demonic Sect¡¯s side, Blood Devil looked at Cheng Xu with interest and teased, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this little friend Cheng Xu?¡± Cheng Xu snorted as he nced at the Blood Demon Cult Master, sneering in his heart. Although this demon had already reached the stage of the Cracking Pill, sooner orter, he would personally take back the debt of the Cracking Pill. Seeing that Cheng Xu ignored him, the Blood Demon Cult Master didn¡¯t get angry. He turned to look at Perfected Chi Yao, who was in the spectator area. ¡°Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Chi Yao¡¯s Medicinal Technique Mantrast time caused me a lot of trouble!¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was toozy to waste his breath on him. ¡°You only have yourself to me.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, I wonder how much of your ability has your beloved disciple, who is worth a Cracking Pill, learned?¡± Daoist Chi Yao sneered confidently, ¡°Sir, you should worry about your beloved daughter.¡± ¡°It seems that Chi Yao Zhenren has a lot of confidence in his beloved disciple¡­¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master teased. ¡°What a coincidence. My daughter has also improved a lot recently. Why don¡¯t we add another bet? If my daughter wins, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to give me another Cracking Pill.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not good at gambling.¡± Perfected Chi Yao refused immediately. ¡°Hey, fellow Daoist, don¡¯t be in a hurry to reject me!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master raised his hand and revealed a green crystal ore. When they saw the Energy Splitting Stone, the eyes of the Righteous Sect¡¯s members lit up, and Chi Yao Zhenren could not help but be moved. Just as Chi Yao Zhenren was hesitating whether he should ept the bet, Cheng Xu could no longer hold it in. ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely help you get this Energy Splitting Stone!¡± ¡°What a joke. It would be a waste not to take the Energy Splitting Stone.¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was even more excited than him, Chi Yao Zhenren naturally didn¡¯t hesitate and epted the bet. This time, the Righteous Sect¡¯s sect leaders did not try to persuade or stop him. This was because everyone was very confident in Cheng Xu¡¯s strength. Only the fiends did not know how powerful Cheng Xu was now. ¡°Hahaha.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Masterughed confidently. ¡°Little girl, be careful when you attack. Don¡¯t hurt your little friend. I¡¯m still counting on you to exchange for a few Cracking Pills!¡± ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I know my limits.¡± Xu Lu smiled confidently. Thus, a battle worth a Cracking Pill was born. Although Cheng Xu spoke arrogantly, he was very cautious in his heart. He knew that Xu Lu had improved a lot during this period of time. Unfortunately, it was blocked by the Spiritual Will Magic Treasure and could not read this girl¡¯s data. However, he was certain that no matter how fast Xu Lu improved, she couldn¡¯t be faster than him. ¡°Just in case, it¡¯s better to end this quickly.¡± Cheng Xu calcted in his heart. Xu Lu once again began to flirt with Cheng Xu. ¡°Handsome boy, you should be more gentle this time, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Cheng Xu replied indifferently. ¡°Hehe, That¡¯s more like it. How could a man be so ruthless to a girl?¡± Xu Lu smiled gently and suddenly attacked. Dense blood-red threads nted out from her back, interweaving into a huge blood-red that was twice as big as before. Cheng Xu had expected this. The moment he opened his Fire Magnificent Robe, the blood-red was burned to ashes. Then, he directly used the Qi Word Mantra to give him a wave of sharp blows. ¡°Qi!¡± The huge ancient seal character Qi rose slowly, beating Xu Lu until her blood surged and her face turned pale. However, it wasn¡¯t likest time, where the baleful aura was agitated. ¡°It¡¯s this move again. Unfortunately, sister¡¯s cultivation method has already broken through and has already refined the evil Qi that has umted in her body.¡± While Xu Lu was secretly pleased with herself, she tried her best to suppress the restless vital essence in her body. The Blood Soul Bell buzzed and quickly turned into a huge bronze bell that suppressed Cheng Xu. Facing this familiar move, Cheng Xu did not panic at all. The +5 flying sword carried the fifthyer of the Cloud Sword Technique¡¯s sword momentum to meet it. ng! The Blood Soul Bell was knocked out with a trembling bell ring, and then it was flipped over by the sword momentum that was like a sea of clouds. It quickly shrank back to its original shape and fell back to Xu Lu¡¯s side. Looking at the Blood Soul Bell again, a crack had already been created by the + 5 flying sword. The Blood Demon Cult Master and the fiends were shocked by this scene. ¡°Hiss¡­That flying sword?¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master was bewildered. ¡°To be able to make a crack appear on the little sister of the Xu Family¡¯s Blood Soul Bell, what a top-grade flying sword!¡± Greed appeared in the eyes of the few Demonic Sect elites. In the spectator stands, Huyan Lie and the Great Elder were secretlyughing. After all, they were well aware of the power of the +5 flying sword. Xu Lu had already witnessed the power of Cheng Xu¡¯s flying sword thest time they fought, so she wasn¡¯t surprised. If the Blood Soul Bell was just a pretense, her real killing move had already been unleashed unknowingly. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t give Xu Lu a chance to catch her breath and immediately spat out the word ¡°Poison¡±. As the dark golden word ¡°Poison¡± slowly rose, Xu Lu¡¯s face instantly turned purple, and her aura became more and more unstable. The Demonic Sect elites below felt their scalps go numb as they watched, deeply feeling the power of the Medicinal technique¡¯s Mantra. It was no wonder that the Blood Demon Cult Master was hit by a Qi Word Mantra and went berserk. Just as Cheng Xu was about to finish the battle in one go, he saw Xu Lu¡¯s lips curl into a yful smile. Immediately after, a familiar poison appeared in his body. It was the poison that came with the Poison Mantra. ¡°¡­!¡± Cheng Xu was shocked. Fortunately, with his medicinal ability, he could easily neutralize the poison of the Poison True Word. ¡°How is it, handsome? The poison of your own poisonous words doesn¡¯t feel good, right?¡± After getting what she wanted, Xu Lu smiled brightly. The purple color on her face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye and transferred to Cheng Xu¡¯s face. ¡°How did you transfer the poison to me?¡± Cheng Xu asked in surprise. ¡°This is the Blood Transfusion Secret Skill of the Blood Demon Church. I¡¯m not sure.¡± Xu Lu said proudly, ¡°Next, the blood in your body will gradually be reced, and you will eventually be a puppet at my mercy.¡± Cheng Xu frowned. Such a heaven-defying spell could not be cast out of thin air. There must be some special medium. Then the question was, what was the medium of the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique? Seeing Xu Lu¡¯s flying sword turn into a bloody light and attack, Cheng Xu hurriedly threw out a ball of Red and White mes. Boom! The explosion of the Red and White mes sessfully blocked the attack of the blood-colored flying sword. Then, he activated the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, trying to stun Xu Lu and quickly finish her off before the other party seeded in recing her blood. Unfortunately, Xu Lu was already prepared for his Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. A vertical eye gem magic treasure faintly appeared between his eyebrows andpletely blocked the attack of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. ¡°Useless little handsome boy, I¡¯ve already studied your tricks thoroughly!¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be serious, but he was surprised and happy. Although the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye failed to stun Xu Lu, it allowed him to sessfully discover the medium of the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique. Under the vision of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, the air was filled with arge amount of tiny particles that looked like blood mist. They attached themselves to the spiritual energy particles like parasites. As he absorbed the spiritual energy to recover his true essence, he also absorbed these blood particles into his body.. Chapter 77 - 77: Xue Jingcheng Chapter 77: Xue Jingcheng Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion After these blood particles entered his body, they seemed to be able to take over his body and devour his blood. There was only one way to deal with such a strange secret technique. That was to stop absorbing spiritual energy. For other cultivators, stopping the absorption of spiritual energy was undoubtedly fatal. After all, the true essence in their bodies could only be released, and their endurance would definitely be greatly reduced. But Cheng Xu was different, because the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye could allow him to absorb spiritual energy from the void. At the same time that Cheng Xu was actively isting the surrounding spiritual energy, a huge ball of blood energy was condensing in Xu Lu¡¯s palm. In the vision of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, the blood-colored ball of light was constantly emitting those strange blood-colored particles. ¡°Not bad, you found a way to deal with it so quickly?¡± Seeing that Cheng Xu was no longer absorbing spiritual energy, Xu Lu was secretly surprised. ¡°But how long can youst without regaining your breath?¡± She was already a realm higher than Cheng Xu. If this continued, she would definitely win. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how long 1 can hold on. What matters is how long you can hold on!¡± Cheng Xuughed in his heart. Seeing the blood-red ball of light whizzing over, the Red and White mes in his body rapidly condensed, and Nine Layers me Waves were unleashed. Boom! The blood-red ball of light collided with the first wave of mes, creating a scorching wave of air. The second wave of mes quickly stacked up and destroyed the blood-red ball of light in one fell swoop. It then swept up the third wave of mes and charged toward Xu Lu. After the blood-red light ball copsed, it did notpletely dissipate. Instead, it turned into arge area of strange blood-red particles, further increasing the concentration of the blood-red particles in the air. ¡°These blood-colored particles are very strange. Even the Red and White mes can¡¯t remove them.¡± There were more and more blood-colored particles in the air, as if any attacks were meaningless against them. On the contrary, the blood particles that entered Cheng Xu¡¯s body were slowly decreasing. Cheng Xu had fought with many Blood Demon Church Monks before, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange Blood Transfusion Secret Technique. From this, it could be seen that there were not many people in the Blood Demon Church who could master the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique. While Cheng Xu was curious about the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique, Xu Lu was already shocked by the third wave of mes. She looked at Cheng Xu as if she had seen a ghost. ¡°Damn it, why did this guy have a new move, and it¡¯s so powerful?¡± Xu Lu managed to block the attack of the third wave of mes with great difficulty. Before she could recover, the fourth wave of mes had already arrived, and its power was even more terrifying. ¡°There¡¯s more?¡± Xu Lu, who was originally full of confidence, was beaten back by the Nine Layers me Waves,pletely losing her arrogance. Boom! The fourth level, the fifth level, the sixth level¡­ The Red and White mes condensed into waves of mes, not giving Xu Lu any chance to catch her breath. The fiends below the stage were all bbergasted. Even the young prodigy from the ck Water Mystic Pce had a strong sense of respect for Cheng Xu. ¡°He¡¯s only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, but he already has such strength. I¡¯ve underestimated the younger generation of Little Nantian. ¡°The power of those me waves is stackedyer byyer, and each wave is stronger than thest. I¡¯m afraid Sister Xu won¡¯t be able to withstand it.¡± Jiang Hong said solemnly. The Blood Demon Cult Master wasn¡¯t stupid either. He could naturally tell that Xu Lu¡¯s defeat was set in stone. However, he couldn¡¯t understand how Cheng Xu had grown so quickly. Compared to the time he was captured, this kid¡¯s strength could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, turning the world upside down. On the stage, although Xu Lu could use the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique to transfer a portion of the damage from the me Wave to Cheng Xu, the Red me and White me were clearly unable to hurt Cheng Xu. Boom! The seventh wave of mes came, but Xu Lu couldn¡¯t block it. She fell out of the fighting ring like a kite with a broken string. The Blood Demon Cult Master hurriedly waved his sleeve and sent out a burst of energy, catching Xu Lu firmly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, father. I lost.¡± Xu Lu¡¯s face turned pale and she secretly med herself. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master smiled indifferently and turned to look at the spectating area. ¡°Fellow Daoist Chi Yao has taken in a good disciple. Now, it seems that this kid is indeed worth that Cracking Pill.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Daoist Chi Yao is secretly proud of himself. ¡°Keep it.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master could afford to lose, so he threw the Energy Splitting Stone to Perfected Chi Yao. At the same time, the Righteous Sect disciples below the stage were already excited and jubnt. Everyone was shouting Cheng Xu¡¯s name. Little did he know that Cheng Xu was not feeling well either. On the surface, he did not seem to be injured, but the strange blood-colored particles in his body had not beenpletely removed. He was still in an inexplicable difort. ¡°It seems that the ck substance was devouring the blood particles.¡± It was obvious that the blood-colored particles were not so easy to remove, but the ck mucus hidden in his body seemed to be very interested in these blood-colored particles. ¡°Strange, what exactly were the ck substance and the blood-colored particles emitted by Xu Lu?¡± He kept feeling that there was some kind of unique strange power behind these Demon Sects. While he was puzzled, the young man from the ck Water Mystical Pce had already gone up the stage. ¡°Cheng Xu, right?¡± The young man from the ck Water Mystic Pce appeared proudly. He revealed his strong confidence and said, ¡°I am Xue Jingcheng of the ck Water Mystic Pce.¡± The demonic cultivators seemed to be full of confidence in Xue Jingcheng, and they all had a well thought out look on their faces. However, to their surprise, Cheng Xu had no intention of epting the challenge. ¡°Cough cough¡­ I¡¯m still injured, so I won¡¯t embarrass myself.¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be weak and looked at Yan Changfeng, Liu Qiao, and the others for help. ¡°You should be able to fight again, right?¡± Xue Jingcheng asked in astonishment. ¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t,¡± Cheng Xu continued to pretend, ¡°The Blood Transfusion Secret Skill of the Blood Demon Church is so powerful. I need to recuperate.¡± With that, he pretended to be weak and returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley team. Seeing this, Liu Qiao from Shenluo Hall immediately flew up to the stage. ¡°Brother Cheng, rest assured and leave the rest to us.¡± On the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s side, Miao Changsheng and the others were still worried about Cheng Xu¡¯s condition a second ago, but in the next second, Cheng Xu had recovered to his full health. He did not look injured at all. As for the blood-colored particles in his body, they had long been devoured by the ck substance. Seeing that Cheng Xu was fine, Miao Changsheng and the others did not know whether tough or cry. At the same time, the battle between Liu Qiao and Xue Jingcheng had begun. However, the result and process of the battle left everyone dumbfounded. Liu Qiao had just used the Array Disk to set up a few array formations when he was instantly killed by Xue Jingcheng, so much so that the crowd could not see what had happened. Liu Qiao suddenly screamed and fell off the stage in a sorry state. ¡°Tsk, it¡¯s better to let Cheng Xu do it.¡± Xue Jingcheng stood proudly on the stage, sneering disdainfully as he looked provocatively at the Righteous Sect. For a moment, the entire ce was silent. Fu Yunzi and the others in the spectating area were also shocked speechless. This prodigy of the ck Water Mystic Pce was clearly much stronger than Jiang Hong, and his attacks were decisive and ruthless, not giving Liu Qiao any chance at all. It was also at this moment that they realized where the confidence of the Demonic Sect people came from. ¡°The strength of this Demonic Sect junior can probably bepared to Yan Changfeng, right?¡± The Sect Leader of the Exquisite Spell Sect gulped in shock, while the other leaders of the other sects also wore solemn expressions. ¡°How is it, everyone? Is this prodigy of our Demonic Sect worthy of your attention?¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master had a yful look in his eyes. ¡°Sir, don¡¯t be too pleased with yourself.¡± Fu Yunzi looked at him coldly. ¡°This genius of the Devil Sect is indeed powerful, but it¡¯s not certain who will win or lose until the end.¡± ¡°Oh, really?¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master was secretly surprised. On the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s side, Cheng Xu and the others were also shocked. ¡°So strong!¡± Tang Xuan was bewildered, and his eyes kept trembling. Jian Yuxiang subconsciously clenched her fists. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Demonic Sect to have such a genius?¡± Miao Changsheng was secretly d for Cheng Xu. ¡°Thank goodness Senior Brother didn¡¯t continue fighting..¡± Chapter 78 Strange Black Water 78 Strange ck Water Cheng Xu frowned as the scene of Liu Qiao''s defeat reyed in his mind. Just now, Xue Jingcheng had broken through Liu Qiao''s array defense with a single punch and defeated Liu Qiao in one fell swoop. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that the aura emitted by Xue Jingcheng at that time was vaguely simr to the ck substance that Cheng Xu had absorbed, but it was also quite different. The most important thing was that after sensing that aura, the ck substance in his body seemed to be a little restless. "Looks like that ck substance is most likely the true sacred object of the ck Water Mystic Pce." Compared to Xue Jingcheng, Cheng Xu obviously had not mastered the true power of the ck matter. However, he was certain that the power contained in the ck substance was extremely terrifying. However, Cheng Xu couldn''t figure out what kind of existence this sacred object of the ck Water Mystic Pce was. It could actually bring such a terrifying increase to cultivators. At this moment, on the stage, the disciples of the righteous Sect had long been scared speechless by Xue Jingcheng. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on Yan Changfeng. Yan Changfeng naturally realized the burden on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and stood up, ready to fight. "Brother Yan, don''t worry. I''ll see if I can help you try something." Xue Lingyu knew that she was no match for him, but she still stood up resolutely. To her, as long as she could find out something, it was worth it. Yan Changfeng did not think it was necessary, but he could not stand Xue Lingyu''s firm attitude. Just like that, under the expectant gazes of the Righteous Sect, Xue Lingyu slowly stepped onto the fighting ring. Then, there was nothing else. Although Xue Lingyu managed to hold on for a while longer with the Substitute Talisman, she was still easily defeated by Xue Jingcheng. She was not Xue Jingcheng''s match at all. At this moment, the atmosphere of the Righteous Sect was extremely depressing. Everyone ced theirst hope on Yan Changfeng. "Is this the standard of your Righteous Sect prodigies? They can''t even withstand a single blow." Xue Jingcheng stood proudly on the stage with a hint of mockery and disdain in his eyes. "Just let your strongest person do it, so as not to waste time!" Faced with Xue Jingcheng''s mockery, the orthodox disciples were all infuriated and requested Yan Changfeng to fight. As a result, Yan Changfeng transformed into a sword light and entered the arena handsomely under the expectations of the orthodox disciples. At this moment, Yan Changfeng was no longer hiding anything. He was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed, emitting a chilling light that made people fear him. "Hahaha, this kind of opponent is more like it!" Xue Jingchengughed loudly, and his eyes finally revealed a trace of seriousness. "Cloud Sect''s Yan Changfeng, please guide me!" Yan Changfeng stood with his sword in hand, his aura ready to be unleashed. Yan Changfeng''s temperament was rtively gentle when facing other righteous elites, like a hidden sharp sword. However, when facing the demonic elites, Yan Changfeng was like a sharp sword with a murderous aura. "I''ve heard of the genius swordsman of the Cloud Sect! I wonder if your attainments in the Way of the Sword can bepared to the geniuses of the Way of the Sword in the Great Southern Wilderness." Xue Jingcheng said with a faint smile. "Try it and you''ll know!" Yan Changfeng smiled calmly. When he started to move, a terrifying sword aura instantly enveloped the entire arena. As Xue Jingcheng chuckled, streams of ck sticky liquid sttered out of his body, forming ayer of ck sticky liquid that emitted a thick ck gas as a defense. It steadily withstood Yan Changfeng''s sword technique attack. In the next second, Yan Changfeng''s sword technique changed rapidly, turning into a series of illusory sword shadows that stabbed towards Xue Jingcheng''s back. Bang! The sword sessfully pierced Xue Jingcheng''s back, but it was blocked by Xue Jingcheng''s inner armor. Then, slivers of wriggling ck mucus extended to Yan Changfeng''s arm along the edge of the sword. "Brother Yan, be careful!" Seeing this, everyone below the stage eximed and reminded him. While Yan Changfeng frowned in surprise, he reacted quickly and released a dense sword aura on the sword, tearing off the ck sticky liquid. In the next second, Xue Jingcheng''srge hand covered in ck mucus reached out to grab him. Yan Changfeng hurriedly used his sword seal to block the attack. Although he managed to block it, the ck sticky liquid easily passed through his Genuine Qi protection and stained his sleeve. Drops of ck sticky liquid quickly invaded Yan Changfeng''s body. A strange pain instantly spread throughout Yan Changfeng''s body, and ck smoke began to emerge from his body. Buzz! Yan Changfeng endured the intense pain and shed out a shocking sword aura, forcing Xue Jingcheng to retreat. He then stepped on his sword and soared into the air. His entire face was slightly pale. It was obvious that he had been tormented by the ck mucus. "Hahaha, if you touch my ck water, you will definitely die!" Xue Jingchengughed arrogantly. "Next, your vital essence, flesh, blood, bones, and muscles will gradually be devoured by the ck water until you turn into a puddle of thick water." Hearing this, the Righteous Sect crowd on and off the stage turned pale with fright. "Damn it, what the hell is this ck Water of the ck Water Pce!" In the spectator stands, Daoist Master Tan Yun was restless. "It''s like the ck mucus thates out of the body of the Perfected Yuntai after his death." Huyan Lie frowned and said, "From what they said, the ck water seemed to be the sacred object of their ck Water Mystic Pce." "I see that Changfeng has been tormented by that ck water. If it continues to be eroded, his life will probably be in danger." Fu Yunzi frowned at this moment, ready to save Yan Changfeng at any time. Compared to that item, he was more concerned about this outstanding sessor of the Cloud Sect. In the arena. Yan Changfeng had been tormented by the ck water in his body, but he soon disyed the elegance of the number one prodigy of the Cloud Sect. His gaze turned cold. Amidst the exmations of the crowd, he drew the Sword Qi and Sword Aura into his body. Even though his body and meridians were severely damaged by the Sword Qi, he managed to force out the ck sticky liquid in his body. This operation stunned everyone, including the Demon Sect members led by the Blood Demon Sect Master. "How ruthless! You actually dare to draw Sword Qi into your body!" Jiang Hong and Xu Lu eximed secretly. The Blood Demon Cult Master could not help but sigh. "This child¡­ He''s a ruthless person!" In the sky above the arena, Yan Changfeng, who had forced out ck Water, was already heavily injured, but he still maintained his unyielding fighting spirit. "What a ruthless move." After Xue Jingcheng recovered from his shock, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. "I, Xue, have acknowledged you as my opponent!" He grunted and spat out a ck ball with strange patterns from his mouth. Then, arge amount of ck mucus gushed out of his body and poured into the ck ball. The ball of ck light turned into a giant w made of ck mucus in the blink of an eye. With a terrifying aura, it grabbed at Yan Changfeng, who was in the air. Yan Changfeng''s eyes sparkled, and an astonishing sword aura rose from his body. "Seven Stars, get into formation!" The sky above the arena changed color slightly. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Array suddenly appeared. As the Dubhe Star was lit up, Yan Changfeng''s figure disappeared into thin air and turned into a shooting star sword light that descended from the sky. Puff! The ck demonic w was pierced through by the Meteor Sword Light amidst the exmations of the demonic cultivators. It struck Xue Jingcheng''s chest at an unparalleled speed. Xue Jingcheng grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was knocked back to the edge of the ring and almost fell off. "Little Nantian has such a powerful sword technique?!" Xue Jingcheng recovered from his shock. He wanted to find Yan Changfeng''s position, but he found that the position of the Heavenly Jade Star in the Big Dipper Array had already lit up. Immediately after, the second Meteor Sword Light descended from the sky and attacked him. "?!" Xue Jingcheng was shocked. He quickly recalled the ck ball that the Demon w had scattered. He relied on the ck ball to cast a spell and turned it into a cloud of ck fog. The Meteor Sword Light pierced through the ck fog, but it failed to injure Xue Jingcheng. The ck fog quickly floated to the center of the arena, slowly revealing Xue Jingcheng''s figure. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of True Essence. Chapter 79 Hold On 79 Hold On Looking at the Big Dipper formation above, the Phecda Star position had already lit up. This Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was the same as Cheng Xu''s Nine-Layered me Wave. Every time it increased by a star position, its power would increase by a level. Once Phecda appeared, Xue Jingcheng was obviously powerless to resist! Whoosh! The dazzling sword radiance fell like a meteor, leaving behind a dazzling light shadow. Xue Jingcheng roared and tried his best to resist, but the sword light prated his body, and the surging ck gas and mucus around him solidified. In the next second, Xue Jingcheng''s head fell to the ground amidst the cheers of the audience, turning into a headless corpse that stood proudly on the field. However, just as the Righteous Sect thought that Yan Changfeng had won, the Blood Demon Sect Master and the others were not moved at all. Instead, they wereughing secretly. "What do you mean? That person is still alive?" The Righteous Sect forces were shocked. "Really? He didn''t die?" "No, Xue Jingcheng''s body still seems to be breathing!" While everyone was in shock, Yan Changfeng, who was on the field, also noticed the abnormality. His gaze was fixed on Xue Jingcheng''s headless body, and his eyes were filled with shock. He could feel a terrifying power gathering in Xue Jingcheng''s body. In the spectator stands, Fu Yunzi and the others stood up in shock, unable to understand the scene before them. Puff! Xue Jingcheng''s neck broke, and ck sticky liquid gushed out like tentacles, wrapping around like a snake on the ground and dragging it back to its original position. As the ck mucus wrapped around and squirmed, Xue Jingcheng''s body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. A trace of madness and malevolence appeared on his face. "Yan Changfeng, right? You''re very strong." Xue Jingcheng''s body squirmed with ck mucus. "Among the cultivators of the same generation that I''vee into contact with, your attainment in the Way of the Sword is undoubtedly the strongest. Unfortunately¡­Your opponent is me." Yan Changfeng hovered above the flying sword quietly. The Seven Star formation above his head was blinking. The strongest attack was still waiting for him. "You deserve to be proud for the rest of your life for forcing me to use the Sky-Devouring Demon Technique!" The skin on Xue Jingcheng''s entire body cracked, and countless ck mucus poured out like a flood. In the blink of an eye, it drowned half of the arena. Then, amidst the uproar, arge amount of ck mucus rolled up like a huge wave, forming a huge demonic shadow that covered the sky. The specter opened its mouth wide as if it wanted to swallow the entire arena. At this scene, the hearts of the Righteous Sect people rose to their throats. Yan Changfeng could naturally feel the power of the demonic shadow, but there was no fear in his eyes. The Megrez Star position above his head lit up resolutely, and he turned into a shooting star with the sword light. Boom! The surging ck gas in the huge mouth of the demon shadow was forcefully broken through by the Meteor Sword Light, but in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the demon shadow that covered the sky and the sun. "Senior Brother Yan!" "Brother Yan!" "Changfeng!" On and off the stage, everyone from the Righteous Sect voiced out their concerns. Fu Yunzi could not help but want to make a move. Puff! A cold light pierced through the darkness behind the specter, emitting a dazzling sword light. Xue Jingcheng''s groans and screams were heard on the field. The huge shadow shrunk rapidly like a deted ball, turning into a figure thatnded on the ground in a sorry state. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Obviously, he did not expect his Sky-Devouring Demon Shadow to be broken! However, just as the Righteous Sect heaved a sigh of relief, Yan Changfeng''s figure had already fallen onto the stage weakly. He stood proudly on the stage with the help of his sword. His entire body was stained with arge amount of ck mucus, and his aura was rapidly weakening. He circted the Sword Technique with difficulty, trying to draw the Sword Qi into his body again. Yes, even at this moment, Yan Changfeng still did not retreat! Because he not only carried the glory of the Cloud Sect on his shoulders, but also the glory of the Righteous Sect of Mini Southern Heaven. Therefore, he could not fall in this battle no matter what. At this scene, all the Righteous Sect members below the stage stood up to express their respect. Even the Demonic Sect members led by the Blood Demon Sect Master could not help but reveal looks of admiration. "Forget it¡­" Fu Yunzi sighed and appeared beside Yan Changfeng, stopping him. He knew very well that if Yan Changfeng drew the Sword Qi into his body again, the damage to his meridians and Vital Qi would be irreparable, and his future would be ruined. "Brother. I can still fight!" Yan Changfeng still had an unyielding look on his face. "It''s good that you did your best. It''s okay if you lose." Fu Yunzi smiled gently and injected his Dharma power into Yan Changfeng''s body to protect his meridians. He then turned to Xue Jingcheng, who was on the other side, and said coldly, "Devil brat, the Righteous Sect admits defeat in this battle. Hurry up and remove your ck water!" Xue Jingcheng took a deep breath and stepped forward to extract the ck water from Yan Changfeng''s body. He then cupped his fists slightly at Yan Changfeng to show his respect and approval. Yan Changfeng''s loss was not embarrassing. 10:35 Many orthodox disciples were infected by Yan Changfeng''s valiant fighting spirit, and their eyes Yan Changfeng''s loss was not embarrassing. Many orthodox disciples were infected by Yan Changfeng''s valiant fighting spirit, and their eyes turned red. "Brother Yan is indeed worthy of the title of the number one prodigy of the Righteous Sect." Huyan Lie and the other two looked at each other,pletely convinced by Yan Changfeng. On the Medicine Celestial Valley side, everyone admired Yan Changfeng, including Cheng Xu. Although he had someints about the Cloud Sect, Yan Changfeng''s character was indeed impable. In Cheng Xu''s opinion, if Xue Jingcheng did not have the help of the ck sticky liquid, he would not be a match for Yan Changfeng at all. "Hahaha, as expected of Heaven''s Favorite of the Cloud Sect. You''re indeed outstanding!" The Blood Demon Cult Masterughed and stood up. He first praised Yan Changfeng, then his eyes fell on Fu Yunzi. "This time, the fiends won by a narrow margin, but we also recognized the name of the Demon Suppression Martial Competition!" Fu Yunzi gestured for the disciples of Cloud Sect to help the weak Yan Changfeng down. He looked at the Blood Demon Sect Master calmly and said, "I keep my word. Since the devil''s pride is stronger, I''ll give this to you." "Haha, Fellow Daoist Cloud Sect is a man of his word!" Blood Demon Sect Master and the others were overjoyed. Their eyes were fixed on Fu Yunzi''s hand. It was a palm-sized bronze magic treasure fragment. Its surface was engraved with fine and unique patterns, and it emitted shocking spiritual energy fluctuations. Seeing Fu Yunzi helplessly hand over the treasure, the Righteous Sect members sighed with regret. As for the fiends, they were all grinning from ear to ear. However, just as the Blood Demon Cult Master was about to step forward to take the bronze fragment, he was interrupted by a young voice below the stage. "Wait!" Cheng Xu slowly walked out of the line. All eyes were on Cheng Xu, not knowing what he was going to do. A strange look shed across Fu Yunzi''s eyes as he quietly put away the bronze fragment. "What are you trying to do, kid?" The Blood Demon Sect Master was furious." "Speaking of which, thepetition between the two sides hasn''t ended yet, right?" Cheng Xu asked with a faint smile. The crowd gasped as they understood Cheng Xu''s intentions. "What do you mean? Cheng Xu still wants to fight?" "Are you kidding me? How can he be Xue Jingcheng''s match?" "If he was in the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he might have a chance, but he''s only in the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage!" The crowd couldn''t understand Cheng Xu''s actions, including the demonic cultivators. Seeing that he was about to get the item, the Blood Demon Sect Master was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Xu. In the spectator stands, Dan Yang and Chi Yao were furious. "Little Cheng, what are you doing! Leave quickly!" Daoist Chi Yao said anxiously. "Master and Senior, please rest assured. I know what I''m doing." Cheng Xu smiled and nced at Xue Jingcheng. "He''s only in the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He might be able to fight." Hearing this, the crowd eximed and whispered. Some people thought Cheng Xu was arrogant, while others thought he was brave. Cheng Xu''s thoughts were also very simple. As long as he defeated Xue Jingcheng, the champion of the Suppressing Demon Martial Arts Competition would naturally be him. He could also get a reputation of turning the tide, so why not? Most importantly, he and "it" were both very interested in the ck mucus in Xue Jingcheng''s body. Chapter 80 - 80: Overclock! Chapter 80 - 80: Overclock! Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Fu Yunzi couldn¡¯t help but ask Cheng Xu for confirmation, ¡°Little fellow, are you sure you can fight him?¡± ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Cheng Xu revealed a faint confidence. The moment these words were said, it immediately attracted a wave of ridicule from the Demonic Sect members. Although Cheng Xu had defeated Xu Lu previously, the gap between him and Xue Jingcheng was not just a little bit, but a gap of two realms. Even Xue Jingcheng himself could not help butugh out loud. ¡°Cheng Xu, right? Your strength is indeed not bad, but it¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re a little far from this Xue.¡±
¡°Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi, if you want to go back on your word, you can just say it. Why do you have to do this?¡± The leader of the ck Water Mystical Pce mocked. Fu Yunzi didn¡¯t say anything in the face of the Devil Dao¡¯s doubts. He just stared at Cheng Xu hesitantly. To be honest, he couldn¡¯t tell if Cheng Xu was arrogant or if he really had the ability. On the other side, Miao Changsheng and the others in the Medicine Celestial Valley team could not help but persuade, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t make a scene. You¡¯ve already brought glory to our Medicine Celestial Valley, so there¡¯s no need to be a hero.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Junior Brother Cheng. Xue Jingcheng couldn¡¯t even die after his head was chopped off. How could you possibly win?¡± Tang Xuan persuaded anxiously. Cheng Xu smiled and ignored everyone¡¯s persuasion. He directly took out his + 5 flying sword and said to Xue Jingcheng, ¡°Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s Cheng Xu, please guide me!¡± ¡°Do you really want to fight?¡± Xue Jingcheng was also stunned. He thought Cheng Xu was just here to cause trouble, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be serious. Seeing Cheng Xu¡¯s confidence, Fu Yunzi naturally had nothing to say. ¡°Cough cough, since the little guy is not convinced, then let¡¯s continue.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi must be joking. With this kid¡¯s Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, how can he fight with our Xue Jingcheng?¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master was speechless. ¡°We¡¯ll only know the result after the fight.¡± Fu Yunzi meaningfully patted Cheng Xu¡¯s shoulder and flew back to the spectator area. Seeing this, the Blood Demon Cult Master red at Cheng Xu fiercely, then flung his sleeves and retreated to the spectator¡¯s seat. ¡°Xue Family brat, be more ruthless!¡± ¡°Senior Blood Devil, don¡¯t worry. Junior will let him know how powerful I am!¡± Xue Jingcheng said confidently. At this moment, the Righteous Sect was already in an uproar. They doubted Cheng Xu¡¯s strength and were worried that he would be crippled by Xue Jingcheng. Especially Dan Yang and Chi Yao, they were extremely anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take action at the critical moment.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled andforted the two. Hearing Fu Yunzi¡¯s words, the two of them finally calmed down. However, they really couldn¡¯t figure out why Cheng Xu wanted to y the hero. The other leaders of the sects were also in disbelief. ¡°What is Cheng Xu trying to do? The difference of two realms was not a joke.¡± ¡°Yeah, even Changfeng isn¡¯t that person¡¯s match, what¡¯s the point of him going up?¡± ¡°Could it be that he really has the confidence to take down that kid from the Devil Sect?¡± ¡°Is that even possible?¡± Yan Changfeng, who was below the stage, had already recovered a little. He stared at Cheng Xu on the stage thoughtfully. His rationality told him that Cheng Xu was no match for Xue Jingcheng, but his intuition told him that Cheng Xu might really be able to turn the tide for the Righteous Sect. However, even he himself could not believe this intuition. In the arena, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s injuries from the previous battle with Yan Changfeng had yet to recover. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know who has the courage to challenge me, I¡¯m very unhappy that you interrupted our Demonic Sect good business.¡± Xue Jingcheng said coldly. Cheng Xu smiled calmly. ¡°Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t you recover first so that you won¡¯t say that I¡¯m taking advantage of you?¡± ¡°?!¡± Xue Jingcheng was so angry that heughed. ¡°Do I still need to recover to deal with an Early-stage Foundation Establishment brat like you?¡± Not to mention him, even the Righteous Sect people were rendered speechless by Cheng Xu¡¯s words. An Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was already at a huge disadvantage when fighting a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he actually yed martial arts with the other party. ¡°Alright, as long as you don¡¯t refuse to ept your defeat.¡± Cheng Xu curled his lips into a smile and raised his hand. Of course, he didn¡¯t want Xue Jingcheng to recover. He said that mainly to give a warning. ¡°Just use all your trump cards. Otherwise, you won¡¯t even have the chance to use them.¡± Xue Jingchengughed mockingly, and his fists and feet, which were wrapped in ck mucus, went straight for Cheng Xu¡¯s face. Cheng Xu took a deep breath. As he propped up his Huo Hua Yi, he threw out a spell. Buzz ~! As soon as the huge dark golden word ¡°Qi¡± appeared, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s aura was disrupted. However, the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm was still the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. The effect of the Qi Word Mantra was not that strong. Just as he suppressed the restlessness in his body and was about to continue attacking, he saw the word ¡°Qi¡± rise above Cheng Xu¡¯s head again. Seeing this, Xue Jingcheng subconsciously stabilized the aura in his body and defended himself. However, this second Qi Word Mantra did not seem to be for him, but for Cheng Xu himself. With the support of the Qi Word Mantra, the true essence in Cheng Xu¡¯s body circted at a high speed, and his aura fluctuation was close to the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. ¡°Interesting. So you can use this move like this?¡± Xue Jingcheng smiled and immediately took out the ck ball and injected it with the ck mucus, wanting to use the huge demonic w spell. But halfway through, Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes suddenly turned ck. Immediately after, a shocking Spiritual Will rushed into his mind, and his consciousness instantly became blurry. The Spiritual Will Defense Magic Treasure Xu Lu gave him could only help him block the data scan of the cultivationputer, but it could not resist the Spiritual Will attack of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s this Eye Bloodline Technique again!¡± Below the stage, Xu Lu secretlyined, but she was not worried about Xue Jingcheng. On the other hand, the people from the Righteous Sect were stunned by Cheng Xu¡¯s series of actions. Especially after using the Qi Word Mantra on himself, the operation of his aura approaching the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage really made their eyes light up. However, Cheng Xu¡¯s next move stunned them even more! After Cheng Xu stunned Xue Jingcheng, he actually cast a Qi Word Mantra on himself again. The aura fluctuation of his entire person directly rushed to the level of the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. This was the strongest trump card that Cheng Xu had prepared for the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition ¡®Extreme Overclock.¡¯ The effect of the True Qi Word couldst for a while, but it did not have a cooldown time. Therefore, as long as he wanted to, he could stack the Qi Word Mantra infinitely! Of course, Overclockes with a price. At this moment, the flow of Zhen Yuan in Cheng Xu¡¯s meridians was already very terrifying. It was like countless fine needles were washing through his meridians at high speed. The Zhen Yuan in his sea of vital energy was also burning at an astonishing speed. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye could help him recover some of his energy. In short, Cheng Xu had to finish the battle quickly while he was in overclock mode! ¡°Qi!¡± The third Qi Word Mantra was added to Cheng Xu¡¯s body, and his aura was close to the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The true essence in his meridians instantly turned from thin needles into des. His meridians were quickly torn apart and repaired by the ck substance in his body at a speed visible to the naked eye. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that Cheng Xu, who was under triple Overclock, felt like he was going through a torture. And the improvement that this torture brought was also huge. When Xue Jingcheng woke up, the Nine Layer me Wave released by Overclock had already rushed towards him. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is his aura¡­?!¡± Xue Jingcheng had no idea what had happened. He only knew that Cheng Xu¡¯s aura was approaching the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Nine Layers of me Waves he released were also much stronger than before. Xue Jingcheng could only grit his teeth and resist the iing wave of mes. Looking at the arena, it was already silent. Everyone was stunned by Cheng Xu¡¯s threefold Qi character, including the people from the Medicine Celestial Valley. ¡°Your sects Medicine and Mantra can be stacked?¡± Fu Yunzi and the others looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao in disbelief. Dan Yang and Chi Yao looked at each other in confusion and nodded, ¡°It seems. That¡¯s right.¡± Obviously, they didn¡¯t know that the True Medicinal Technique could be used like this. ¡°Hiss! If I were to stack them on myself, wouldn¡¯t mybat strength be heaven-defying?¡± Huyan Lie asked in bewilderment. ¡°It¡¯s not that simple.¡± Fu Yunzi frowned and analyzed, ¡°Just look at that little guy¡¯s pained expression. Everyyer of the armor is a huge burden on his body..¡± Chapter 81 - 81: Turning the Tide Chapter 81 - 81: Turning the Tide Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Dan Yang and Chi Yao naturally noticed this and couldn¡¯t help but worry if Cheng Xu could hold on. In the arena. The Nine Layers me Waves had already been stacked to the fourthyer. Although Xue Jingcheng had barely withstood it, Cheng Xu did not idle. He took a big step forward and dashed towards Xue Jingcheng with his sword like a sea of clouds. Xue Jingcheng¡¯s pupils constricted when he saw the fourth wave of mes and the Cloud Sword Technique attacking him at the same time. As he roared, two streams of ck mucus shot out from his back and transformed into a pair of huge arms made of ck mucus.
The ck arm blocked the three waves of mes with one hand and the +5 flying sword with the other. ¡°Kid, I admit that I underestimated you!¡± Xue Jingcheng watched helplessly as the +5 flying sword continued to pierce into the ck sticky palm. His expression gradually became ferocious. However, Cheng Xu¡¯s attack was not over. Swish! Two flying swords, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly attacked from behind Cheng Xu. Each flying sword carried the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique. As soon as this move was used, an uproar broke out. Everyone in the Cloud Sect stood up, unable to believe this shocking scene. ¡°What is it? How is this possible?¡± ¡°Controlling two flying swords at the same time and using the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique!¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not the Two Fold Cloud Sword Technique, but the Three Fold Cloud Sword Technique.¡± ¡°Yes, he is also using the Cloud Sword Technique.¡± In the spectator stands, Fu Yunzi and Taoist Master Tan Yun lost theirposure. They stared at Cheng Xu¡¯s figure in bewilderment. They could not imagine that the Cloud Sword Technique could be used in this way. ¡°This child¡­¡± Fu Yunzi took a deep breath and looked at Taoist Master Tan Yun silently. At this moment, Daoist Master Tan Yun was filled with regret. On the other hand, Dan Yang and Chi Yao were both surprised and happy. They even felt that Cheng Xu was a little unfamiliar. ¡°So Little Cheng Xu has already grown to this extent?¡± Perfected Chi Yao muttered to himself with a strange expression. All this while, he had been paying attention to the growth of Cheng Xu¡¯s alchemy ability. He did not expect Cheng Xu to have grown to such an astonishing height in terms of cultivation. Looking at the Demonic Sect group led by the Blood Demon Sect Master, they had long lost their initial confidence. Especially the Blood Demon Sect Master and Xu Lu, they were dumbfounded. The strength that Cheng Xu disyed far exceeded their expectations. While the teams below the stage were shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s strength, they could not help but reignite their hope. Perhaps Cheng Xu could really turn the tide! Only Hu Jiaojiao had aplicated expression on her face, and she looked like she had lost her soul. The lecher in her eyes had now be so powerful that she could not reach it. She might even be the hero of the entire Righteous Sect. The fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique was already powerful, not to mention the threeyers of the Cloud Sword Technique. The two flying swords carried a surging sword aura, and together with the fiveyers of me waves, they drowned Xue Jingcheng. Boom! mes exploded and sword lights intersected. The entire arena could only hear Xue Jingcheng¡¯s terrified screams. His entire body was instantly torn apart, turning into pieces of broken limbs covered in ck mucus. The scene was shocking. Cheng Xu¡¯s body was also covered in ck mucus. However, before the ck mucus could enter Cheng Xu¡¯s body, it was greedily absorbed by the ck substance in Cheng Xu¡¯s body. While it did not affect Cheng Xu at all, it also strengthened the ck substance in his body a little. ¡°It really is the same thing?¡± Cheng Xu silently felt the growth of the ck substance in his body. ¡°However, the ck substance in my body seems to be of a higher grade than this ck mucus.¡± He came back to his senses. In front of him, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s broken limbs were constantly emitting ck mucus, sticking and joining together. Cheng Xu naturally couldn¡¯t let hime back to life. He immediately activated the Red and White mes to cover more than half of the arena, blocking everyone¡¯s vision. Then, he quickly rushed to the front of the severed limbs that were about to be reassembled. He grabbed Xue Jingcheng¡¯s head and absorbed the ck mucus in his body. Sizzle¡­ As soon as Cheng Xu ced his palm on it, the ck sticky liquid in Xue Jingcheng¡¯s body seeped out of his body like oil and entered Cheng Xu¡¯s body along his palm and arm. After absorbing the ck mucus in Xue Jingcheng¡¯s body, the ck substance in Cheng Xu¡¯s body had more than doubled. The moment the Red and White mes dissipated, Xue Jingcheng had already turned into a withered and broken corpse on the ground. He waspletely lifeless. At this moment, the entire ce was silent. No one knew what had just happened. Only the Golden Core expert of the ck Water Pce noticed that something was wrong. He stared at Cheng Xu with a hint of surprise and greed in his eyes. As for Xue Jingcheng¡¯s death, it didn¡¯t cause him any sadness. ¡°Win¡­You won?¡± The orthodox disciples below the stage looked at each other in disbelief. ¡°Oh my god, he really won!¡± ¡°Cheng Xu actually defeated Xue Jingcheng, so strong!¡± After a short moment of confusion, cheers rose from all directions. Everyone was shouting Cheng Xu¡¯s name. At this moment, Cheng Xu had undoubtedly be the hero of the Righteous Sect younger generation. In the spectator stands. The leaders of the various sects did not react for a while. Although they did not know how Cheng Xu dealt with the ck mucus, Xue Jingcheng had indeed died on the stage. While Huyan Lie and the others were shocked, they simultaneously looked at Master Tan Yun of the Cloud Sect. As for Daoist Master Tan Yun, he was already so angry that he was seeing stars. His entire body was trembling slightly. ¡°You guys have really done a great deed for the sect!¡± Fu Yunzi clenched his teeth and coldly nced at the people from the Cloud Sect. His expression was extremely ugly. Right at this moment, the Blood Demon Cult Master below suddenly surged with an aura as he sneered and grabbed at Cheng Xu on the stage. Seeing this, Fu Yunzi appeared in front of Cheng Xu in a sh and blocked the Blood Demon Cult Master¡¯s attack. ¡°Fellow Daoist Blood Devil, what do you mean by this?¡± Fu Yunzi questioned coldly. ¡°What do you think 1 mean by this kid killing my Devil Sect prodigy?¡± Of course, the Blood Demon Cult Master would not take Xue Jingcheng¡¯s death seriously. He was angry that the thing he had gotten was gone. However, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s death had helped him find a good excuse. ¡°Casualties are inevitable in sparring.¡± Fu Yunzi smiled calmly. ¡°You can¡¯t be a sore loser, can you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t afford to lose!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master didn¡¯t pretend anymore. He released a monstrous demonic aura from his body and shrouded the entire Cloud Treading Peak in a dark shadow. ¡°Today, you can either keep this kid alive or hand over that thing. Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi, do as you see fit.¡± Fu Yunzi wasn¡¯t stupid and naturally knew what these Demonic Sect cultivators were thinking. ¡°It seems that you want to fall out with me?¡± Fu Yunziughed coldly as his aura slowly rose. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. Who asked Fellow Daoist to be reluctant to hand over this kid?¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master sneered inwardly. As they spoke, the other demonic experts also aggressively took their positions and surrounded Fu Yunzi. The crowd was already panicking. Fu Yunzi looked around calmly and sighed helplessly. ¡°It seems that the pill must be changed today.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Masterughed out loud. ¡°1 admit that your strength after bing a core is far above this old man¡¯s, but you have to go through the Core Transformation Heavenly Tribtion first!¡± ¡°Do you think that a few of you can interfere with this old man¡¯s Core Transformation Tribtion?¡± Fu Yunzi mocked. ¡°How would we know if we don¡¯t try?¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master was eager to give it a try. ¡°Once Fellow Daoist dies, won¡¯t I be able to do whatever I want with you Righteous Sects of the Southern Heaven?¡± Fu Yunziughed coldly, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s do it.¡± After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent Cheng Xu to Dan Yang and Chi Yao. At the same time, the disciples of the various sects below the stage quickly gathered together with the elders and retreated to a safe location. The entire Cloud Treading Peak changed color and thunder rumbled. A shocking battle was about to begin! Chapter 82 - 82: Pill Transformation Trial Chapter 82 - 82: Pill Transformation Trial Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion After Cheng Xu returned to the Medicine Celestial Valley team, he watched from afar under the protection of Dan Yang and Chi Yao. ¡°Little Cheng, are you alright?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren stared at Cheng Xu, afraid that something would happen to him. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Cheng Xu smiled. ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve consumed a lot of energy. I¡¯ll be fine after recovering for a while.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren let out a sigh of relief and took out a few recovery pills for Cheng Xu to consume. He sighed with emotion, ¡°Kid, you really gave me a big surprise.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Junior Brother Cheng. Aren¡¯t you too strong now?¡± Even Xue Jingcheng isn¡¯t your match.¡± Tang Xuan and the others echoed. ¡°How did you block the ck mucus, Senior Brother?¡± Miao Changsheng asked curiously. Cheng Xu smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. As he spoke, the ck Tribtion Clouds had already gathered above the Cloud Treading Peak. A p of thunder interrupted everyone¡¯s thoughts. Above the Cloud Treading Peak, a terrifying lightning tribtion was condensing in the ck Cloud Vortex. Fu Yunzi stood proudly in the sky. The golden core in his aura sea flickered and sizzled. The Blood Demon Cult Master and the others who were attacking him were shaken far away by the terrifying pressure of heaven and earth. ¡°I¡¯m still a little short of reaching the peak of the Transformation Core Realm.¡± Fu Yunzi looked up at the Tribtion Clouds and silently took out the Cracking Pill. His aura began to rise crazily. The movement of the golden core in his body also became more and more intense. Traces of strange lightning shed on the surface of the golden core. Boom! Soon, the first bolt of lightning struck down mercilessly with a terrifying pressure, but it was easily blocked by Fu Yunzi¡¯s rising power. The Blood Demon Cult Master was shocked by this scene. After all, when he was transcending the tribtion previously, the first lightning tribtion had already hit him quite hard. ¡°Brother Blood Demon, what do you say?¡± The few devils beside him asked solemnly. ¡°The power of this person¡¯s heavenly tribtion is too strong, we can¡¯t get close at all.¡± The Blood Demon Sect Master analyzed in a deep voice, ¡°The moment the second lightning tribtion descends, we¡¯ll attack together. We definitely can¡¯t let him seed in transcending the tribtion!¡± The devils nodded secretly. At the same time, the second lightning tribtion in the sky had also finished condensing. The pressure emitted by the ck Cloud Vortex was twice as strong as the previous lightning tribtion. Boom! As the second bolt of lightning descended, the Blood Demon Sect Master and the others attacked together. The Blood Red Light and Demonic Qi followed the lightning tribtion and pressed down on Fu Yunzi from all directions. Boom! The power of the lightning tribtion and the concentrated fire of the Demonic Sectpletely drowned Fu Yunzi. However, after the lightning dissipated, Fu Yunzi was still standing proudly in the air, unscathed. He looked coldly at the people of the Demonic Sect. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, you can¡¯t interfere with my tribtion.¡± ¡°Humph!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master snorted, and the monstrous blood wave once again rushed toward Fu Yunzi. Its power was many times stronger than that of Mount Tian Long. Fu Yunzi could feel the power in his body rising, and he casually shed out a sword Qi. Buzz! As the sword Qi surged, it easily defeated the Blood Demon Sect Master¡¯s blood wave, making the Righteous Sect people watching from afar excited. ¡°Is this the power brought by the pill transformation? It¡¯s indeed mysterious!¡± Fu Yunzi lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand. He clicked his tongue in wonder as he tried to understand the mysterious process of the transformation. The golden core in his Qi Sea had already cracked under the bombardment of the two Heavenly Tribtions, as if it would explode soon. The Blood Demon Cult Master and the others tried their best to stop him, but they were easily pushed back by Fu Yunzi time and time again. As for the Righteous Sect members, they had been a little worried before, but after seeing Fu Yunzi¡¯s strength, they werepletely relieved. ¡°Senior Fu Yunzi is indeed powerful,¡± the Shenluo Hall Master said, ¡°He¡¯s able to face the legendary Pill Transformation Tribtion with such ease.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.. I wonder when we¡¯ll be able to reach Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s level.¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°That¡¯s strange. Didn¡¯t they say that there¡¯s a slim chance of survival after bing a core? Why is Senior Fu Yunzi so rxed?¡± The leaders of the various sects looked at Cheng Xu with a smile, their eyes filled with fondness. ¡°Once you reach the threshold of the Transformation Core stage, you can transform it into a core at any time. However, you can also choose to further refine your golden core. The longer you refine it, the more stable the transformation will be. Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s golden core has undoubtedly been refined to the extreme.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why would someone choose a path of death?¡± Cheng Xu and the rest of the younger generation were puzzled. ¡°Because refining the golden core is the same as directly transforming the core. It is extremely dangerous in itself. A slight carelessness may cause the golden core to shatter. In essence, it is only a little safer than directly passing the Pill Tribtion.¡± ¡°Therefore, most peak Jindan experts don¡¯t have the patience. After all, the improvement brought by the transformation of the core is too great.¡± Cheng Xu nodded. No wonder Fu Yunzi refused to change into a pill. It turned out that he was refining his golden core. ¡°In addition, the longer the golden core is tempered, the higher the starting point after the transformation. That¡¯s why as long as Senior Fu Yunzi seeds in transforming into a core, his strength will definitely be above that of the Blood Demon Sect Master.¡± At this point, the leaders of the various sects could not help but feel a trace of doubt. ¡°But then again, the leader of the Demonic Sect didn¡¯t mind fighting with Senior Fu Yunzi to get that bronze fragment. It seems that the bronze fragment has an extraordinary meaning!¡± ¡°Unfortunately, we still don¡¯t know what the bronze fragment is for.¡± While the Righteous Sect parties were chatting andughing, the following lightning tribtions had already descended. The Blood Demon Cult Master and the others resisted the lightning tribtion and continuously attacked Fu Yunzi, but they could not hurt him at all. On the contrary, Fu Yunzi¡¯s Aurous Core was cracking under the impact of the lightning tribtion, and the power contained in the Aurous Core was rising steadily. Seeing that they couldn¡¯t interfere with Fu Yunzi¡¯s tribtion, the expressions of the fiends turned extremely ugly. ¡°Damn it, the gap seems to be bigger than I imagined!¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master¡¯s expression was uncertain, and he faintly had the thought of retreating. ¡°What do we do now?¡± The demon from the ck Water Pce asked, ¡°Retreat?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the only way.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master sighed helplessly. ¡°In the future, with Fu Yunzi holding the fort, with the strength of the few Devil Sects, we won¡¯t be able to take down Little Nantian at all. We can only wait for the army from above to arrive as soon as possible.¡± Hearing this, the devils looked at each other and prepared to retreat. However, an extremely unstable energy field blocked their path. ¡°You¡¯ve already forced this old man to transform into a pill in advance, and you want to leave just like that?¡± Fu Yunzi¡¯s cold voice sounded particrly clear in the lightning tribtion. The Blood Demon Cult Master wasn¡¯t very flustered. After all, the strength of a Core Transformation cultivator was right there, and Fu Yunzi had to weigh his options. If he was really forced into a corner, he would directly self-destruct. Within a hundred miles, no one would be able to leave alive. Even Fu Yunzi himself would lose ayer of skin. ¡°I advise Fellow Daoist not to be too ruthless. A Chosen of the Devil Dao has already died. What else do you want?¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master said coldly. Fu Yunzi knew that he couldn¡¯t keep the Blood Demon Cult Master here, so he smiled and said, ¡°You can leave if you want to. Let¡¯s honor the previous bet first.¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy to say.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Masterughed. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that even if I tell you, you might not believe me.¡± ¡°Just say it. Whether 1 believe it or not is this old man¡¯s business.¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master nodded and smiled. ¡°Regarding that bronze fragment, we are only following orders. We don¡¯t know much. We only know that the bronze fragment is rted to the great battle that took ce in Mini Southern Heaven 10,000 years ago.¡± ¡°The great battle that happened in Mini Southern Heaven ten thousand years ago?¡± Fu Yunzi frowned in confusion. ¡°It seems Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi doesn¡¯t know about that battle either. But it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll solve the mystery hidden in your Little Southern Heaven sooner orter,¡± the Blood Demon Cult Master said meaningfully. After saying that, he used all his strength to break through Fu Yunzi¡¯s energy field and led the Demonic Sect people to escape. At the same time, Fu Yunzi¡¯s Pill Transformation Tribtion was nearing its end. As thest bolt of lightning struck down, Fu Yunzi¡¯s Golden Corepletely shattered. Miraculously, the golden core did not copse. Instead, it remained in a hollow, scattered, and broken state. Strange electric currents were running between every fragment, emitting energy fluctuations that were nearly a hundred times stronger than normal golden cores.. Chapter 83 - 83: The Past in the Clouds Chapter 83 - 83: The Past in the Clouds Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The power of heaven and earth gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds dissipated with the wind. The sky above the Cloud Treading Peak was clear. Fu Yunzi stood proudly between heaven and earth, and his aura slowly retracted. When the Righteous Sect saw this, they gathered and congratted him in unison. ¡°Congrattions to Senior Fu Yunzi for breaking through to the Core Transformation Realm!¡± Fu Yunzi smiled slightly, indicating for everyone to be free of formalities. ¡°Today, 1 have sessfully transformed into a Core, and the younger generation of the Righteous Sect has also sessfully repelled the Demonic Sect. This is truly a double blessing.¡±
¡°In the future, with this old man overseeing the Demonic Sect, I will naturally have some considerations.¡± At this point, Fu Yunzi paused and turned to look at the people from the Cloud Sect. Daoist Master Tan Yun instantly understood and went forward to wee him. ¡°The Cloud Sect wees the return of Martial Granduncle!¡± The Cloud Sect followed closely behind him, shouting, ¡°Wee back to Cloud Sect.¡± The people from the other four sects saw everything and were secretly envious. After all, Fu Yunzi was already the ceiling of Little Nantian¡¯sbat strength. With such an expert in charge, the Cloud Sect reputation would definitely soar in the future. Although the various sects had expected such a thing to happen, they were still filled with emotions after experiencing it personally. However, just as the four sect leaders were about to send their congrattions, Fu Yunzi raised his hand to stop them. ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating and learning in the Cloud Sect since 1 was a child. All my skillse from the Cloud Sect. For so many years, I¡¯ve been thinking about the day when I¡¯ll acknowledge my ancestors and return to the sect.¡± At this point, Fu Yunzi suddenly changed the topic. ¡°But before 1 return to the sect, I still have some old grudges that I need to understand.¡± Fu Yunzi¡¯s expression turned cold as he said in a cold voice, ¡°The people who secretly interfered with Sect Leader Shixiong¡¯s Pill Transformation back then, were you the ones who took the initiative to step forward, or was it this old man who personally pulled you out?¡± As soon as these words were said, the originally joyous atmosphere instantly froze. The other four groups retreated to the side in shock and whispered to each other. The people from the Cloud Sect looked at each other in dismay. Clearly, they had not expected Fu Yunzi to make such a move at this time. Even Daoist Master Tan Yun was stunned. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Senior Brother Sect Leader is a genius, and his talent is even above mine. Although I left the sect back then, I was indebted to Senior Brother¡¯s love that taught me all the experience of refining the Golden Core, so that I have not made any mistakes in refining until now.¡± Fu Yunzi looked coldly at the elders of Cloud Sect in the crowd. ¡°All these years, I¡¯ve been secretly investigating why Senior Brother failed to transform into a core. Today, 1¡¯11 definitely end this matter!¡± Hearing this, Daoist Master Tan Yun and the others were in an uproar. The other sects could not help but discuss. Only the few elders of the Cloud Sect avoided his gaze, their expressions uncertain. ¡°You mean¡­ Back then, when his master failed to transform into a pill, was it because he was secretly interfered with?!¡± Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in bewilderment, anger burning in his eyes. Fu Yunzi didn¡¯t say anything. He looked at the group of elders again. ¡°You don¡¯t dare to step forward, do you?¡± As he spoke, the terrifying pressure of a Core Transformation cultivator pressed down on the group of Cloud Sect elders. ¡°Fu Yunzi, are you trying to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?!¡± The Great Elder of the Cloud Sect walked out of the crowd with an ugly expression and looked at Fu Yunzi coldly. ¡°Very good, you old fogey still have some guts.¡± Fu Yunzi sneered coldly. ¡°I thought that after 1 left the sect, I would understand what happened back then. 1 didn¡¯t expect that you would dare to plot against the sect master!¡± As soon as he said this, the entire ce was in an uproar, especially the Cloud Sect, who were extremely shocked. ¡°This¡­ Is this true?¡± Master Tan Yun was agitated and confirmed with Fu Yunzi again. Fu Yunzi coldly replied, ¡°Think about it carefully. If it wasn¡¯t for me secretly helping you back then, would you have been able to safely take over the position of sect master?¡± Hearing this, the Taoist Master Tan Yun fell silent. After pondering for a while, his eyes became gloomy as he looked at the Great Elder. Over at the Medicine Celestial Valley. Cheng Xu was dumbfounded. He felt like he was watching a melodramatic TV series. ¡°Hiss¡­ No wonder Daoist Master Tian Yun failed to transform into a pill back then. He was plotted against by his own family.¡± Daoist Dan Yang clicked his tongue and sighed, ¡°Those old bones of the Cloud Sect are really ruthless. They actually attacked their own people.¡± Perfected Chi Yao couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°I can only say that it¡¯s not a good thing for a sect to be too big.¡± ¡°Back then, Daoist Master Tian Yun was an expert. I didn¡¯t expect that he would be schemed against by his own people in the end. Now that Senior Fu Yunzi has stepped into the Core Transformation Realm, I¡¯m afraid those old bones of the Cloud Sect won¡¯t be able to escape the punishment,¡± Shenluo Hall Master said with a sigh. ¡°It¡¯s good to get rid of them. Those old bones are also a scourge.¡± Cheng Xu and the younger generation of the various sects were confused. After the elders exined, they roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. To put it simply, after the Cloud Sect grew stronger, the internal factions were gradually dominated by the cultivation of aristocratic families. Back then, Daoist Master Cloud Sect¡¯s master, who was also Fu Yunzi¡¯s senior brother, was a genius who suppressed the younger generation of his sect. At that time, there was also an outstanding prodigy who was the son of this Great Elder. He was the heir to the sect leader of the aristocratic families. Hence, the grudge began! Back then, Fu Yunzi, who was the youngest junior brother, couldn¡¯t stand the sinister schemes of the Great Elder¡¯s son. He couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and joined forces with Daoist Heaven Cloud to kill the Great Elder¡¯s son. In the end, under the protection of his master and a group of grassroots elders, he survived, but he was still expelled from the sect under pressure and sessfully helped Daoist Heaven Cloud ascend. He didn¡¯t expect that the aristocratic families and sects led by the Great Elder could bear grudges for so many years. They actually schemed against Perfected Tian Yun when he was transforming into a core, causing him to die in the Core Transformation Tribtion. ¡°Tsk tsk, luckily Senior Brother didn¡¯t stay in the Cloud Sect.¡± Miao Changsheng couldn¡¯t help but rejoice for Cheng Xu. ¡°Indeed.¡± Cheng Xu agreed. Compared to the internal strife and schemes of the Cloud Sect, the Medicine Celestial Valley was simply a paradise. Now that he thought about it, the proportion of disciples from aristocratic families among the disciples of the Cloud Sect was indeed ridiculouslyrge. The subsequent development of the situation was rtively simple. Although many elders of the aristocratic families who plotted against Daoist Tian Yun had died, there were still a few who survived. After being pulled out by Fu Yunzi one by one, he still wanted to fight to the death. Unfortunately, before Fu Yunzi could make a move himself, he was attacked by the other elders of Cloud Sect led by Taoist Master Cloudstep. After the few ck sheep were killed, their heads were personally sent to the memorial tablet of the Heavenly Fate Daoist by Daoist Master Tan Yun and Fu Yun Zi. Then, in front of the memorial tablets of the previous leaders of the Cloud Sect, in front of the orthodox sects, the Taoist Master Tan Yun personally weed Fu Yunzi back to the sect and made him the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Sect! Everything was settled. However, the Demon Suppression Martial Competition had yet toe to an end. Seeing that the various leaders were congratting each other but did not mention the matter of the Martial Competition, Cheng Xu was anxious. After all, he was still waiting for the Frost Rain Dew to upgrade his CPU. ¡°That¡­ Did the seniors forget something?¡± Cheng Xu said awkwardly but politely, ¡°The Demon Suppression Martial Competition hasn¡¯t ended yet, right?¡± Hearing this, all the leaders looked at each other andughed. Even Fu Yunzi couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. ¡°The little guy turned the tide in the end. Is there a need to continuepeting?¡± ¡°Grand Elder is right. At least I¡¯m convinced of Junior Brother Cheng¡¯s strength.¡± Yan Changfeng smiled and looked at Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and the others. Since even Yan Changfeng had admitted defeat, they naturally had nothing to say. They all expressed their approval of Cheng Xu. As a result, Cheng Xu was sessfully elected as the champion of this year¡¯s Demon Suppression Martial Meet Meet. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Junior Brother Cheng couldn¡¯t stay in Cloud Sect.¡± Yan Changfeng sighed regretfully. Fu Yunzi couldn¡¯t help but think of himself. He turned around and looked at Daoist Heaven Cloud¡¯s memorial tablet, feeling dejected. If Cheng Xu was still in the Cloud Sect, perhaps he would have forged a deep friendship with Yan Changfeng and be the new generation of the Two Heroes in the Cloud, just like how he had done with his senior brother, Daoist Master Tian Yun.. Chapter 84 - 84: Casually Choose? Chapter 84 - 84: Casually Choose? Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world. All fate had long been decided. In the corner, although Hu Jiaojiao had proven herself with the Grand Moon Sword Technique, she could not bepared to Cheng Xu¡¯s brilliance. Now, she has be the most disliked person in the Cloud Sect. The Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition hade to a sessful conclusion. Cheng Xu had also sessfully obtained the Frost Rain Dew and several other precious materials. It was just that the result of this year¡¯s Martial Competition was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.
Before the match, who would have thought that the Heaven¡¯s Favorite of the Medicine Celestial Valley would finally take the lead and defeat the invincible Demon Dao Heaven¡¯s Favorite by himself? For a time, Dan Yang and Chi Yao were in the limelight and everyone mentioned Cheng Xu. After the match, the parties did not disperse. Instead, at the invitation of the Cloud Sect, he attended the banquet of Fu Yunzi¡¯s return to the sect. He also specially opened a lecture to exin some of the key points and experiences of the transformation to the Golden Core realm to the Golden Core cultivators of the various sects. The younger generation naturally did not have the qualifications to participate in this level of preaching. Even if he went, he might not understand. Cheng Xu returned to the guest room as soon as the banquet ended. He used Frost Rain Dew to upgrade his CPU to level five. The original dual-core 3.2GB CPU was sessfully upgraded to a quad-core 3.2GB CPU. His telekinesis capacity and intelligence had once again broken through the limits, reaching the sky. Most importantly, Cheng Xu had the ability to multitask. Not only could he execute four system missions at the same time, but he could also control four flying swords to fight at the same time. The third level of the Cloud Sword Technique was already terrifying enough. Now, the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique was asking if you were afraid? ¡°Yu Hua Stone? What kind of material is this? Never heard of it?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head as he looked at the materials for the five-liter CPU. It seemed that from level five onwards, the difficulty of upgrading the configuration had increased by a level. Inparison, the hard disk upgrade materials were more approachable. ¡°No hurry, take it slow!¡± Cheng Xu smiled and silently nned for his future development. ¡°The most important thing now is to increase my cultivation as soon as possible. As for the configuration, it will definitely be enough for the time being.¡± [Cultivation Computer] [Motherboard: Cheng Xu (Early Foundation Establishment)] [CPU: Divine Telekinesis (quad-core 3.2GB)] [Memory: Comprehension (i024mb)] [Hard Disk: Knowledge Sea (4096mb)] [Video Card: Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye 1.0 (1536111b)] [Sound Card: Integrated 4.0] [Network card: Integrated 4.0 (4oMbit/s)] [Disk Space: 3439.2MB/4O96mb| Now, the configuration panel looked much morefortable. However, the disk space was almost full again. ¡°As for Flowing Brightness Sand, there should still be a chance to get it.¡± Cheng Xu thought about asking Jian Yuxiang first. If it didn¡¯t work, he could try asking the Scorching Sun Sect. He had revealed such important information to the Scorching Sun Sect, so he had to return the favor. Speak of the devil. Just as Cheng Xu was about to ask the people of Scorching Sun Sect, Huyan Zan¡¯s shouting came from outside the door. Yan Changfeng, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu came with him. After the few of them entered, they boasted wildly to Cheng Xu, making him feel embarrassed. ¡°The Cloud Sword Technique that Junior Brother Cheng disyed yesterday shocked all of us. Today, 1 came to ask you for advice.¡± Yan Changfeng asked sincerely, ¡°May 1 ask what kind of special technique Junior Brother Cheng has cultivated? He actually used threeyers of the Cloud Sword Technique at the same time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Cheng, tell us about it. If you use your multitasking technique on formations, it¡¯ll definitely be a great killing weapon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just an array formation. It¡¯s also a great killing weapon for our Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s Talisman Technique.¡± Xue Lingyu echoed. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°If 1 say this thing is innate, would you believe me?¡± Cheng Xu exined awkwardly. ¡°Born? Isn¡¯t it some special spiritual sense technique?¡± Yan Changfeng asked in confusion.¡± ¡°Of course not. If my Medicine Celestial Valley had such a cultivation technique, how could it be passed down to me alone?¡± Cheng Xu shook his head and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The few of them nodded silently and did not ask any more questions. However, there was a hint of envy in his eyes and expression. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want to have such talent? ¡°Junior Brother Cheng,¡± Yan Changfeng finally exined his purpose of visit after some small talk. ¡°Right now, everyone in the sect is quite regretful about what happened to you, Junior Brother Cheng. My master and granduncle are also very appreciative of your talent in the Tao of the sword.¡± ¡°Yo, is the Cloud Sect thinking of going back to their old ways?¡± Huyan Zan couldn¡¯t help but tease the way of the people¡¯s pangs. ¡°That won¡¯t be the case. Of course, if Junior Brother Cheng wants toe back, the Cloud Sect will definitely wee him.¡± Yan Changfeng smiled. ¡°My master and granduncle mean to make an exception and allow Junior Brother Cheng to go to the Sword Garret to choose a few sword scriptures. It¡¯s apensation for Junior Brother Cheng and also a recognition of his talent in sword arts.¡± As soon as he said this, not to mention Cheng Xu, even Huyan Zan and the other two were stunned. ¡°Good heavens, your Cloud Sect is willing to spend a lot of money to maintain the rtionship with Brother Cheng?¡± Liu Qiao made a fuss. As the sessors of their respective sects, they were all shrewd people. Naturally, they could see through the intentions of the Cloud Sect. Cloud Sect¡¯s actions seemed to be giving Cheng Xu a few sword scripture inheritances for free, but in reality, they wanted to use the inheritances to create a connection with Cheng Xu. Even if Cheng Xu didn¡¯t return to the Cloud Sect, with Cheng Xu¡¯s current status in the Medicine Celestial Valley, he could still provide some convenience to the Cloud Sect in the pill business in the future. However, to be able to let Cheng Xu go to the Sword Pavilion to choose a sword scripture was indeed a huge investment. ¡°There¡¯s such a good thing?¡± Cheng Xu was naturally overjoyed. Wouldn¡¯t he be a fool if he didn¡¯t want the benefits that were given to him for free? Unfortunately, the Cloud Sect did not know what it meant to put him, a humanoidputer, in the Sword Pavilion. ¡°I came personally, how can it be fake?¡± Yan Changfeng chuckled. ¡°The kind where you can randomly choose all the sword scriptures?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Can the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword be used as well?¡± Cheng Xu excitedly asked about it. As soon as he said that, Yan Changfeng was stunned on the spot. Even Huyan Zan and the others were stunned. ¡°This¡­ It¡¯s not impossible,¡± Yan Changfeng said with a strange expression. ¡°It¡¯s just that the inheritance of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword is rather special. Even if Junior Brother Cheng goes, he might not be able to understand the mysteries.¡± ¡°How hard can it be?¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. The Cloud Sword Technique was so difficult. Yan Changfeng shook his head in silence. Xue Lingyu exined on his behalf, ¡°Brother Cheng, you might not know this. The Flying Cloud Meteor Sword is different from other sword techniques. The entire inheritance is hidden in an ancient sword. There is no clear sword technique inheritance.¡± Cheng Xu suddenly understood. So it was the same as the Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s Medicine Mantra, a hidden inheritance. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try. What if I canprehend it? After all, with the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, who would be interested in other sword techniques?¡± Cheng Xu grinned. ¡°If Junior Brother Cheng wants to try, then try it,¡± Yan Changfengughed. ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose. How about we go now?¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t wait. ¡°Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for us to go over?¡± Huyan Zan hesitated. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The sword techniques in the Sword Pavilion are protected by restrictions. Even if you go, you won¡¯t be able to see them.¡± Yan Changfeng smiled nonchntly and led everyone out of the guest room, heading straight for the Sword Pavilion. On the way, Cheng Xu asked Huyan Zan, ¡°By the way, Brother Huyan, can your Scorching Sun Sect get Flowing Brightness Sand?¡± ¡°Flowing Brightness Sand? Wasn¡¯t that the material needed to refine a Golden Core magic treasure? What do you want that for? 1 heard that you can refine artifacts, brother. Don¡¯t tell me you can already refine Aurous Core Stage magic treasures?¡± Huyan Zan said in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage. How could 1 possibly forge an Aurous Core magic treasure? It¡¯s just that there¡¯s a special magic treasure that needs to be strengthened with some Flowing Brightness Sand.¡± Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. ¡°I see, Alright, 1¡¯11 go back and help you look for it.¡± ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Brother Huyan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all. My father told me that the Scorching Sun Sect owes you a big favor.¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity, ¡°Speaking of which, what did you talk to my father aboutst time? How can it be so important to my father?¡± Yan Changfeng and the other two also looked at him curiously. ¡°Since your father doesn¡¯t want to say it, 1 can¡¯t reveal it either.¡± Cheng Xu avoided him. Huyan Zan was somewhat disappointed, but he didn¡¯t pursue the matter. ¡°I heard that you know some Talisman techniques?¡± Xue Lingyu asked curiously. ¡°Uh, a little,¡± Cheng Xu smiled and waved his hand. ¡°If I remember correctly,¡± Liu Qiao said meaningfully, ¡°Brother Cheng said that he knew a little about formations.. Now it seems that your standards are a little high!¡± Chapter 85 - 85: Prominent One Fast Word Chapter 85 - 85: Prominent One Fast Word Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Not bad, not bad. The main thing is that 1 really haven¡¯t learned much.¡± Cheng Xu continued to be humble. ¡°I haven¡¯t learned it before. If I learn it systematically, won¡¯t I be able to go to heaven?¡± Liu Qiao¡¯s eyes wereplicated. In his opinion, Cheng Xu¡¯s attainments in first and second tier formations were far above his. Cheng Xu smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°May I ask what is the highest level of talismans Brother Cheng can make?¡± Xue Lingyu asked. ¡°Tier 2.¡± Cheng Xu replied casually.
Xue Lingyu took a deep breath and was secretly surprised. ¡°To be able to create a second-grade talisman by self-study, Brother Cheng¡¯s talent in talismans is probably even greater than mine.¡± Huyan Zan, who was standing at the side, asked frantically, ¡°Speaking of which, is there anything that Brother Cheng can¡¯t do?¡± ¡°Yes, I do.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Give birth to a child.¡± ck lines appeared on Huyan Zan and the other three¡¯s faces. As they chatted andughed, the group had already arrived at the Cloud Sect¡¯s inheritance ground, the Sword Pavilion. It was a bronze tower that towered into the clouds. From afar, it looked like a huge ancient sword that was deeply embedded in the mountain. Because the disciples of the Cloud Sect felt a lot of pressure in this year¡¯s Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition, more disciples came to the Sword Pavilion toprehend the sword scripture than before. The arrival of Cheng Xu¡¯s group naturally attracted a lot of attention. Yan Changfeng and the other three were veteran Heaven¡¯s Favorites, so they naturally attracted attention. The key was that Cheng Xu, the newly promoted Heaven¡¯s Favorite of the Medicine Celestial Valley, had attracted the attention of the Cloud Sect disciples. After all, not only was Cheng Xu powerful, but he was also once a disciple of the Cloud Sect. ¡°Senior Brother Yan? You guys are¡­¡± Yang Tianqi happened toe out of the Sword Pavilion. He was surprised to see them. ¡°On Master¡¯s orders, 1 brought Junior Brother Cheng to the Sword Pavilion to choose a few sword scriptures.¡± Yang Tianqi and the nearby disciples of the Cloud Sect were stunned. ¡°What do you mean? Junior Brother Cheng has returned to the sect?¡± Yang Tianqi was surprised and delighted. Yan Changfeng waved his hand and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s not the case. It¡¯s just that Master and Martial Granduncle made an exception and allowed Junior Brother Cheng toe.¡± Yang Tianqi wasn¡¯t stupid. He quickly understood the Sect Leader and Fu Yunzi¡¯s intentions. He immediately joined the crowd to join in the fun. However, the other disciples of the Cloud Sect did not quite understand. After all, the Sword Pavilion was and of inheritance and had never been opened to outsiders. Even if Cheng Xu was once a disciple of the Cloud Sect, that was a thing of the past. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What were the Sect Leader and Martial Granduncle doing? Let an outsider into the Sword Pavilion.¡± ¡°He probably wants to subtly pull Cheng Xu back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but I feel that Cheng Xu definitely won¡¯te back.¡± ¡°Indeed, even if he wanted to return, the Medicine Celestial Valley wouldn¡¯t let him go.¡± ¡°Of course, which sect would give such an outstanding disciple to someone else?¡± ¡°Yes, isn¡¯t our Cloud Sect one of them?¡± The Cloud Sect disciples were speechless. Cheng Xu ignored the discussions around him. He stepped into the Sword Pavilion under the guidance of Yan Changfeng and the others, his eyes shing with a sinister light. In the huge Sword Pavilion, there were thousands of sword scriptures and all kinds of books. ¡°Where is the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword? The top floor?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s mind was filled with the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. How could he care about reading those misceneous sword scriptures? Yan Changfeng nodded with a smile and led Cheng Xu to the top floor of the Sword Pavilion. When many disciples of the Cloud Sect found out that Cheng Xu was going toprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, they immediately went into an uproar. ¡°What is it? What was that? Cheng Xu wanted toprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? Was the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword something he couldprehend?¡± ¡°This is obviously not the main point. The main point is that the sect leader actually allowed an outsider toprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. The Flying Cloud Meteor Sword can¡¯t beprehended so easily.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if Senior Brother Yan is a true disciple, he had to soak in the ancient sword for nearly a year before he couldprehend its mysteries.¡± ¡°That being said, Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in the way of the sword doesn¡¯t seem to be weak.¡± ¡°No matter what, let¡¯s follow him and take a look.¡± As a result, the tail behind the group grew bigger and bigger. The Cloud Sect disciples who were choosing sword scriptures on each level all followed Cheng Xu eagerly after learning that he was going toprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. When they reached the top floor, there was already a crowd behind them. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t care about these things. At this moment, his eyes were filled with the ck ancient sword that was only left in half on the sword rack in the middle of the top floor. The ancient sword contained an astonishing killing intent and Sword Qi. Just looking at it made one shudder. The most important thing was that there was a small icon above the ancient sword. ¡°This is the ancient sword left behind by the founder of the sect.¡± Yan Changfeng introduced solemnly, ¡°The sword technique of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword is contained in the ancient sword.¡± Huyan Zan and the others beside him clicked their tongues and sighed. ¡°As expected of the Cloud Sect¡¯s treasure. It really lives up to its reputation!¡± ¡°Yeah, just the killing intent from the ancient sword alone is enough to send chills down one¡¯s spine.¡± Xue Lingyu echoed. The disciples of the Cloud Sect behind him pointed and whispered among themselves. ¡°Brother Yan, if 1 understand the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, will there be any problems?¡± Cheng Xu asked suddenly. Stunned, Yan Changfeng burst intoughter. ¡°If Junior Brother Cheng can really understand the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, it¡¯s naturally a great thing. What problems can there be?¡± ¡°I mean, your Cloud Sect won¡¯t go back on your word, right?¡± ¡°Since my master and Martial Granduncle have already agreed, how can there be any reason to go back on your word?¡± Yan Changfeng waved his hand and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Cheng Xu nodded in satisfaction. He walked straight to the ancient sword and pretended to sit down cross-legged. Seeing this, Yan Changfeng and the others shook their heads secretly. Meanwhile, the disciples of the Cloud Sect behind him started to mock him. ¡°What kind of joke is this? Is the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword something that he can easilyprehend?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ Our Cloud Sect has beenprehending it for so many years, and so many people havee toprehend it every day. In the end, how many of them can understand it?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it justprehending the Cloud Sword Technique to the fifth level? You really think you¡¯re a dish.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. He¡¯ll soon know how profound the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword is.¡± However, just as they were mocking and ridiculing him, the ancient sword on the sword stand trembled slightly and emitted a sword hum from ancient times. The entire ce was silent. Everyone looked at Cheng Xu in disbelief, unable to believe their eyes. ¡°Hiss, why do I feel that something is wrong?¡± Huyan Zan looked at Yan Changfeng hesitantly. ¡°Did Brother Cheng really figure it out?¡± Yan Changfeng was shocked, his eyes fixed on Cheng Xu who was sitting cross-legged. Huyan Zan and the others were not stupid. They could get the answer from Yan Changfeng¡¯s reaction. After a short period of silence, what followed was an intense uproar and exmations. ¡°Yes. Yes. Am I seeing things? Who wants to kick me?¡± ¡°Patriarch, what did I just see?¡± ¡°This guy actually resonated with the ancient sword. How long has it been?¡± ¡°Could it be that this person¡¯s talent in the sword has already reached such a heaven-defying level?¡± ¡°Impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡± ¡°Who can tell me what happened? I¡­ I can¡¯t ept this!¡± Yan Changfeng could not calm down for a long time. Too fast, too fast! It was so fast that it was beyond his understanding. The key point was that he had never thought that Cheng Xu would be able to understand the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. ¡°Brother Yan, was it like this when you sessfullyprehended it?¡± Liu Qiao couldn¡¯t help but ask. Yan Changfeng nodded wordlessly. At the same time, Fu Yunzi, who was preaching on the Cloud-treading Peak, also noticed the strange movements of the Sword Pavilion. He could not help but look at the high-ranking officials of the Cloud Sect beside him and decisively stopped preaching. The leaders of the various sects listening to the sermon below were confused, thinking that something big had happened. ¡°What happened? The Devil Sect is back?¡± Chapter 86 - 86: Ambush on the Way Back Chapter 86 - 86: Ambush on the Way Back Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Fu Yunzi still didn¡¯t know who had triggered the ancient sword, so he quicklyforted the guests. ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s no need to panic. The Demonic Sect hasn¡¯t returned yet. It¡¯s just that there seems to be a small problem with my sect¡¯s Sword Pavilion.¡± Fu Yunzi stood up solemnly. ¡°If everyone is interested, you can join in the fun.¡± At this time, Fu Yunzi had not connected this matter to Cheng Xu and thought that there was a second disciple in the Cloud Sect who hadprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. On the way to the Sword Pavilion, the higher-ups of the Cloud Sect were surprised and happy. After all, every disciple who had mastered the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was a treasure to the Cloud Faction.
To be able to have a second disciple who hadprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword would definitely make the leaders of the other sects die of envy. ¡°Who is it?¡± The more Daoist Master Tan Yun thought about it, the more excited he became. ¡°Could it be that little girl, Ci¡¯er? Or is it Tianqi?¡± However, when they arrived with a group of onlookers full of anticipation, they were shocked by the scene in front of them and were speechless for a long time. The other sect leaders also looked at each other in bewilderment. Only Perfected Chi Yao looked at each other with a weird expression. ¡°Why is Little Cheng here toprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword?¡± ¡°Could it be that Little Cheng has already returned to the Cloud Sect¡­? Impossible.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren shook his head. ¡°Little Cheng is not that kind of person.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Tan Yun, Senior Fu Yunzi, what¡¯s going on? Why did Little Chenge to your Sword Pavilion?¡± Perfected Dan Yang frowned. Fu Yunzi and the Taoist Master Tan Yun looked at each other in shock and were speechless for a long time. In the end, it was Huyan Zan and the others who exined the situation. Knowing that it was the Cloud Sect who had taken the initiative to let Cheng Xue to the Sword Pavilion to choose the sword scripture, Dan Yang and Chi Yao frowned on the surface, but in fact, they tried their best to stifle theirughter. After all, they knew Cheng Xu¡¯s terrifyingprehension ability very well. Cheng Xu could even easily understand the True Words of Medicine, so the ancient sword passed down from the ancestors of the Cloud Sect was naturally not a problem. Letting Cheng Xue to the Sword Pavilion toprehend was like beating a dog with a meat bun. ¡°Cough cough, that¡­ Fellow Daoist Tan Yun¡¯s gift is truly precious.¡± Perfected Dan Yang tried hard to hold back hisughter and said righteously, ¡°How about this, this old master will take out a few Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pills topensate your esteemed sect?¡± The corners of Taoist Master Tan Yun¡¯s mouth twitched crazily. Who would have thought that Cheng Xu would be able to see through their Cloud Sects Flying Cloud Meteor Sword right away? More importantly, he hadprehended it so quickly, much faster than Yan Changfeng. Everyone in the Cloud Faction was dumbfounded. Even the leaders of the other sects were shocked beyond words. While he was shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s terrifying talent, he was also secretlyughing at the Cloud Sect¡¯s meat-buns-to-dogs behavior. In this situation, who wouldn¡¯t be able to break through their defenses? He had originally wanted to use the inheritance to convey goodwill to Cheng Xu so that he could establish a connection with the Cloud Sect. He did not expect Cheng Xu to understand their Supreme Sword Technique so quickly. ¡°Could this child be the reincarnation of the ancestor?¡± Several elders of the Cloud Sect discussed softly. Fu Yunzi¡¯s expression was uncertain. Cheng Xu¡¯s talent in the Tao of the Sword had undoubtedly refreshed his understanding. At this moment, he wished he could force Cheng Xu to stay in the Cloud Sect. However, the others were all present. If he really did this, the Cloud Sect would not be able to survive in the future. Most importantly, Cheng Xu himself might not be willing to stay in the Cloud Sect. ¡°How good would it be if this child was still in our Cloud Sect?¡± Fu Yunzi struggled for a long time before he finally let out a bitter sigh. Looking at the Taoist Master Tan Yun, he was so stiff that he couldn¡¯t speak. It couldn¡¯t be helped. That was a peerless genius who could easilyprehend the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword! ¡°Fellow Daoist Tan Yun, do you think we should have a serious discussion?¡± At this time, the Taoist Master Tan Yun was already showing off his old face. ¡°You also know the significance of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword to our Cloud Sect. Now that Cheng Xu has mastered the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, it¡¯s better to let him return to our Cloud Sect.¡± Hey, hey, hey. You can¡¯t me us for this. You were the ones who took the initiative to let Little Cheng Xue to the Sword Pavilion toprehend. Besides, Little Cheng Xu still has the true words of our sect¡¯s medicine method.¡± Perfected Dan Yang hurriedly retorted. ¡°Whatever conditions you have, just name them.¡± Taoist Master Tan Yun hadpletely gone out. ¡°Tsk¡­¡± Perfected Dan Yang said mockingly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you think that our Medicine Celestial Valleycks money?¡± Taoist Master Tan Yun was speechless. ¡°Why don¡¯t we both take a step back and let Cheng Xu be a disciple of our two sects?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Why should the disciples of the Medicine Celestial Valley share half of the profits with the Cloud Sect?¡± ¡°But Cheng Xu was originally a disciple of our Cloud Sect?¡¯ ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys already expel him from the sect?¡± Perfected Dan Yang secretly mocked Tan Yun This time, Taoist Master Tan Yun waspletely speechless. Then, he looked at Cheng Xu, who wasprehending the Meteor Sword by the ancient sword, and felt terrible in his heart. Not to mention him, even the leaders of the other sects were beginning to feel bad for their Cloud Sect. In the crowd, Perfected Luoyue had aplicated expression. When she first met Cheng Xu at Grand Cloud Mountain, she would never have thought that this little guy would bring her so many surprises and shocks. If she had paid more attention back then, things would not have developed to this point. Of course, Hu Banxian and Hu Jiaojiao were the ones who were really upset. They were both responsible for the loss of Cheng Xu. Especially Hu Jiaojiao. The moment she learned that Cheng Xu had mastered the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, she realized how ridiculous her prejudice against Cheng Xu was. Even Yan Changfeng, whom she regarded as her idol, seemed to pale inparison to Cheng Xu. Now that she thought back to the scene of her being peeped at while bathing, it didn¡¯t seem so unbearable. Sometimes, human nature was so real. If a short, poor, and short person identally saw her bathing, it would be considered a hooligan and a sexual harasser. However, if a tall, rich, and handsome person identally saw her bathing, it would be a beautiful encounter. In short, Hu Jiaojiao waspletely convinced by Cheng Xu¡¯s excellence! Cheng Xu heard everything. At this moment, he had already read the hidden information in the ancient sword into the cultivationputer, but he was not in a hurry to install it. Although his current configuration was much stronger than before, when he installed the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, it was inevitable that he would crash again. It was safer and more reliable to return to the Medicine Celestial Valley. ¡°Tsk tsk, as expected of the Cloud Sect¡¯s sword scripture. A Sword Scripture is actually 24imb in size.¡± At first nce, it did not seem as good as the True Words of Medicine. After all, just the two true words were 500mb in size. However, the True Words of Medicinal Technique could not bepared to the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword in this way. The reason why the Medicinal Technique Mantra took up so much space was mainly because of the dual theories of pharmacology and spells. The Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was a pure sword scripture, and it only had pure sword theory. One had to know that the Cloud Sword Technique was only 28.5MB. With thisparison, one could see how awesome the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was! ¡°All¡­!¡± Cheng Xu pretended to stretch and slowly opened his eyes. ¡°Eh? Why are there so many people?¡± ¡°You woke up so soon? It shouldn¡¯t be.¡± Fu Yunzi went forward and asked in surprise, ¡°Little guy, have youprehended the sword technique of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword?¡± ¡°Yes, but I still have to patiently ponder and experience it for a period of time.¡± Cheng Xu said. Fu Yunzi was both surprised and delighted. ¡°How many levels of Sword Scripture have youprehended?¡± ¡°Third floor.¡± Cheng Xu continued to put on an act. What a joke. With the cultivationputer, how could he only read the first three levels of the sword technique? It must be the full set! Who would have thought that just the third level of the Sword Scripture had already shocked everyone in the Cloud Sect. If he had known this would happen, he would not have said so much. ¡°Third level?!¡± Fu Yunzi was bewildered. ¡°You¡¯re able to understand the first three levels of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword right away. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no one else in the history of the Cloud Sect.¡± After Yan Changfeng recovered from his shock, he could not help but feel ashamed. ¡°Brother Yan, how many levels did youprehend when you first seeded?¡± Huyan Zan asked softly. After a long silence, Yan Changfeng said bitterly, ¡°Naturally, there is only one level.¡± Is Brother Cheng still human?¡± Huyan Zan grimaced in pain, secretly going crazy. Just as everyone was shocked by Cheng Xu¡¯s abnormal talent, Perfected Dan Yang cleared his throat and stood up. ¡°Little Cheng did well. Why aren¡¯t you thanking the seniors of the Cloud Sect?¡± Cheng Xu hurriedly stood up and bowed to the higher-ups of the Cloud Sect. ¡°Cough cough, that¡­ I¡¯ve just received news that there¡¯s something important in the valley that 1 need to handle personally.¡± Daoist Dan Yang pretended to apologize to Senior Fu Yunzi, ¡°Therefore, I¡¯m afraid that Senior will have to miss the subsequent sermon. However, please rest assured that I will immediately send someone to send over a few Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pills as a thank you gift after I return.¡± After saying that, he pulled Cheng Xu and Chi Yao Zhenren and left without caring about the reactions of the other parties. Everyone was left looking at each other with different expressions. ¡°Fellow Daoist Dan Yang is really¡­¡± The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect shook his head andughed. ¡°Understandable. If it were me, I would run away faster than him,¡± the Shenluo Hall Master joked. Everyone in the Cloud Faction fell silent and sighed. With Tang Xuan as the leader, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples were ying happily. Suddenly, they were pulled on the treasure ship of Perfected Dan Yang. They were all confused and did not know what was going on. After listening to Dan Yang and Chi Yao exin the situation, only then did they realize the seriousness of the matter. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯ve figured out the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword of the Cloud Sect?¡± Miao Changsheng asked in surprise. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Tang Xuan was shocked and speechless. ¡°Then, won¡¯t the Cloud Sect be anxious?¡± ¡°Fortunately, Senior Fu Yunzi is a shameless person. If he really put down his old face and used violence, things would be difficult.¡± Perfected Chi Yao clicked his tongue and sighed. He was d that he had ran fast. ¡°Junior Brother Cheng is really¡­¡± Jian Yuxiang was clearly already numb to it. ¡°In the future, among the younger generation of Little Nantian, I¡¯m afraid only Junior Brother Cheng will be unique.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Miao Changsheng said proudly. After all, he was definitely the first to win over Cheng Xu. By the way, Little Cheng, have you really onlyprehended the third level of the Sword Scripture?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren looked at Cheng Xu meaningfully. Cheng Xu smiled honestly. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Haha, 1 knew it!¡± Dan Yang and Chi Yao looked at each other in shock and thenughed out loud. However, just as they wereughing andughing, a terrifying ck fog suddenly surged from below and blocked Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s treasure ship. Dan Yang and Chi Yao were shocked. The Medicine Celestial Valley disciples led by Cheng Xu were also panicking. ¡°Hahaha¡­After squatting for so long, I¡¯ve finally found you!¡± A familiar figure walked out of the surging ck fog. It was the Pce Lord of the ck Water Mystical Pce who had been with the Blood Demon Cult Master previously, a Late-stage Golden Elixir Realm expert. After seeing this person, Dan Yang and Chi Yao¡¯s faces instantly turned pale. They thought that the Blood Demon Sect Master and the others were nearby and hurriedly released their divine senses to investigate their surroundings. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m alone.¡± The Pce Lord of ckwater Mystic Pce stared at Cheng Xu, his eyes filled with greed.. Chapter 87 - 87: Poison Retreats the Demon Chapter 87 - 87: Poison Retreats the Demon Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion After confirming that ckwater Pce Lord was alone, Dan Yang and Chi Yao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were a Late-stage Golden Elixir Realm expert and a Mid-stage Golden Elixir Realm expert. It was not a problem for them to deal with a Late-stage Golden Elixir realm demon. Even if that demon had outstandingbat strength, they were confident that they could escape unscathed. ¡°Children, don¡¯t panic. This old man¡¯s treasure ship was built with a lot of money. Even if a peak Jindan came, he wouldn¡¯t be able to break it easily.¡± Perfected Dan Yang confidentlyforted everyone and turned to look coldly at the demon. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you waiting for that Energy Splitting Stone or the Cracking Pill my junior brother refined?¡± ¡°A mere Energy Splitting Stone is not worth me risking my life alone.¡± ck Water Pce Lord stared at Cheng Xu greedily, almost drooling. ¡°Leave this kid here, and 1 can let you go.¡±
As soon as he said this, Dan Yang and Chi Yao¡¯s expressions changed. Cheng Xu was not stupid. He vaguely guessed that the other party was here for the ck substance in his body. He was surprised and confused. What exactly was that ck substance? To think that ck Water Pce Lord would ce so much importance on him. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you here to avenge Xue Jingcheng?¡± Chi Yao¡¯s expression was uncertain. ck Water Pce Lord did not say anything. As he snorted and sneered, the ck mucus that spread out from his body seemed to boil as it turned into a terrifying ck gas that charged towards the treasured ship. Boom! The ck gas attack was blocked by the defensive light shield of the treasured ship, and the ship shook violently. ¡°Do you really think my Medicine Celestial Valley is easy to bully?¡± Perfected Dan Yang was furious. ¡°Junior Brother, protect the children. 1¡¯11 go and meet that demon!¡± As he spoke, he flew out of the protective barrier of the treasured ship and took out a few medicinal pills from his storage bag and consumed them one by one. In the blink of an eye, Daoist Dan Yang¡¯s aura rose from Late-stage Golden Core to peak Golden Core. ck Water Pce Master narrowed his eyes. The two Late-stage Golden Core experts fought fiercely in the air. The terrifying energy fluctuations made everyone tremble with fear. While protecting everyone, Chi Yao Zhenren didn¡¯t stay idle. He found an opportunity to suppress them with a Qi True Word. ¡°Puff!¡± ckwater Pce Lord choked on the spot and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he was sent flying by Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s sword. However, ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye under the healing of the ck mucus. He sneered and extended a demonic w that covered the sky. As he forced Daoist Dan Yang back, he grabbed at the treasured ship. Bang! The protective shield of the treasure ship creaked under the pressure of the Demon w, and it could copse at any time. ¡°Demon, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± When Perfected Dan Yang saw this, his be suddenly lit up. Wisps of smoke-like mes flew out from his be and wrapped around ck Water Pce Lord and the demonic w. It was none other than the Dan Yang True Fire cultivated from the Dan Yang Mystic Scripture. Different from the Brilliant Scarlet True Fire of the Brilliant Scarlet lineage, the Elixir Yang True Fire of the Elixir Yang lineage was extremely strong. In the blink of an eye, the demonic w was burned and dissipated. ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s face turned hideous from the mes. ¡°What a powerful Primordial Fire. 1 underestimated your Medicine Celestial Valley!¡± ¡°Hmph, since you¡¯re already here, then don¡¯t leave!¡± Seeing that the Primordial Fire was effective against the demon, Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s confidence increased. He wanted to take ck Water Pce Lord down in one fell swoop. ¡°Ridiculous!¡± ck Water Pce Lord sneered. ¡°Although your Primordial Fire is extraordinary, it¡¯s still far from enough to take me down!¡± ck Water Pce Lordughed loudly as boundless ck gas rapidly spread in all directions. A radius of several kilometers instantly fell into darkness. ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s maniacalughter echoed in the darkness. Boom! The protective shield of the treasured ship was constantly being eroded in the darkness, and its energy was rapidly being drained. Perfected Dan Yang was also eroded by the strange darkness around him. As his magic power was rapidly lost, his entire body seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and his mobility was greatly restricted. Even the Dan Yang True Fire on his body was unable to emit a trace of light. The entire space seemed to have fallen into absolute darkness, and there was not a trace of light to be seen. On the treasured ship, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples panicked. Only Cheng Xu had a strange expression on his face because the ck substance in his body seemed to be absorbing the darkness around him. However, because it was blocked by the protective shield, the absorption was a little slow. ¡°Master, try bringing me out of the protective barrier.¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren had a face full of hesitation. ¡°Hurry up, otherwise, Sect Master Senior Uncle won¡¯t be able to hold on for long.¡± Cheng Xu said anxiously. In the darkness, one could vaguely hear Perfected Dan Yang¡¯sbored groans. Chi Yao Zhenren hesitated for a moment. Although he didn¡¯t know what Cheng Xu could do, he still brought Cheng Xu out of the protective shield. The moment he passed through the protective shield, Cheng Xu¡¯s body instantly turned into a ck hole, crazily devouring the surrounding darkness. In just a moment, the darkness that enveloped the surroundings waspletely devoured by Cheng Xu, and the surroundings returned to its original light. On Perfected Dan Yang¡¯s side, he had been beaten back by ck Water Pce Lord and was in a sorry state. ¡°This¡­ How did you do it?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren looked around in disbelief. Cheng Xu did not say a word as he stared straight at ck Water Pce Lord. ¡°Hahaha, it seems that this old man¡¯s guess was right. The Dark Dao Origin that the sect lost back then has indeed fallen into your hands!¡± ck Water Pce Lord, who had his darkness destroyed by Cheng Xu, was not rmed. Instead, he was delighted. He did not hesitate to attack Cheng Xu. Seeing this, Chi Yao Zhenren quickly brought Cheng Xu back to the defense of the treasure ship. ¡°From now on, this Dark Dao Origin is mine!¡± ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s expression gradually sank into madness. Seeing Cheng Xu retreat back into the treasured ship, he immediately spat out a ck Centipede from his mouth. The ck Centipede attached itself to the protective shield of the treasured ship. In less than a moment, it bit open a hole in the protective shield. Perfected Dan Yang tried his best to block, but he was forced back by ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s huge ck palm print. Then, it reached out its huge demonic w again. At the same time as it shattered the protective shield of the treasured ship, it went straight for Cheng Xu in the crowd. Bang! Chi Yao Zhenren immediately took out all kinds of defensive magic weapons to help Cheng Xu block the Demon w¡¯s attack. However, the elusive ck Centipede darted out from the cracks between the Demon w¡¯s fingers and broke many of Chi Yao¡¯s magic treasures in two or three moves. ¡°Ridiculous. You want to stop me with this scrap metal?¡± ck Water Pce Lord sneered in disdain as he controlled the Demon w to suppress him further. Just as the Demon w was about to press down, a unique mantra came out of Chi Yao Zhenren¡¯s mouth. ¡°Medicine!¡± A green ancient seal character ¡®Medicine¡¯ appeared above Chi Yao¡¯s head and turned into a stream of light, branding itself on the main body of the ck Water Pce Lord. At the same time, Perfected Chi Yao was also shaken by the Demon w until he spat out blood. The ck Water Pce Master was shocked at first, but after realizing that the medicine words were ineffective, he couldn¡¯t help butugh wildly. ¡°What kind of lousy move is that? It¡¯spletely ineffective.¡± Immediately after, a flying sword that was burning with the Elixir Yang True Fire tore through the air and fought with him again. ck Water Pce Lord clearly did not take Perfected Dan Yang seriously. His attention had always been on Cheng Xu. It wasn¡¯t until the dark golden word ¡®Poison¡¯ appeared that ck Water Pce Master realized something was wrong. ¡°What?!¡± ck Water Pce Lord felt the poison in his body explode and quickly invade his limbs and bones. The poison in his body was rising steadily, forcing him to use arge amount of magic power to suppress it. Perfected Dan Yang took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the flying sword sessfully pierced through ck Water Pce Lord¡¯s shoulder. Puff! Under the influence of the poison, ck Water Pce Lord was like a deted balloon. He grunted as he flew backward and spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. He looked at Perfected Chi Yao as if he had seen a ghost. Then, without thinking, he immediately turned into a ball of ck fog and fled without a trace. Perfected Dan Yang didn¡¯t chase after him. If that demon came back to kill him, Perfected Chi Yao wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him. ¡°Junior Brother, are you alright?¡± After returning to the treasured ship, Perfected Dan Yang checked on Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s condition immediately. ¡°It¡¯s fine. 1 just suffered some minor injuries.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said calmly.. Chapter 88 - 88: Flowing Brightness Sand in Hand Chapter 88: Flowing Brightness Sand in Hand Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Perfected Dan Yang heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Cheng Xu. ¡°Little Cheng, did you just¡­?¡± ¡°I identally absorbed a ball of ck matter earlier, and that ck matter seems to be able to devour rhe strange power of the ck Water Mystic Pce.¡± Cheng Xu exined in a half-false manner. ¡°ck substance?¡± Dan Yang and Chi Yao looked at him in bewilderment. ¡°Is it harmful to the body?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t discovered it yet, but it has strengthened my body quite a bit.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Perfected Chi Yao was relieved. ¡°Now, it seems that the demon is after the ck substance in your body. Moreover, from what he said, that thing seems to be called the Dark Dao Origin.11 ¡°Dark Dao Origin?¡± ¡°Since he dares to call himself this name, he must have a powerful background. Don¡¯t easily reveal it in the future,¡± Perfected Dan Yang analyzed. ¡°I understand.¡± Perfected Dan Yang nodded slightly. As he controlled the treasured ship to fly back to the Medicine Celestial Valley, he couldn¡¯t help but ask Perfected Chi Yao, ¡°Speaking of which, has Junior Brother¡¯s research on the Medicine Mantra been sessful? 1 think that demon has been poisoned by you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s barely considered a sess. At least it can be used.¡± Daoist Chi Yao nodded and smiled. ¡°Not bad, not bad. Teach our senior and junior brothers well another day.¡± In the southwest corner of Mini Nantian, in the ck Water Pce¡¯s stronghold. The Pce Lord of ck Water Mystical Pce came back in a sorry state. His skin was a strange dark purple color. After returning to his cave abode, ckwater Pce Lord desperately suppressed the poison in his body. From time to time, he would spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood. Fie was tormented to the point of suffocation. ¡°Damn it! What the hell is that mantra spell of the Medicine Immortal Valley that can poison me to this extent?¡± As he spoke, he could not help but spit out another mouthful of poisonous blood. The poison in his body seemed to be endless and could not be removed at all. He was ate Aurotis Core cultivator, but this was the first time he had been tortured by poison to such an extent. What was even more terrifying was that this poison was not the kind that had been eaten or inhaled by him. Instead, it was the kind that had been directly injected into his body by the mantra spell. Logically speaking, this poison should be very weak and easy to remove. But now, the poison in his body was like maggots in his bones. Not only could it not be removed, but it was also constantly growing. ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that the Dark Dao Origin can be used by me. My strength will definitely reach the heavens in a single step. Pfft.¡± At this moment, a young figure walked in. He seemed unhappy. If the people of the righteous path saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Because this young man was none other than Xue Jingcheng, who had already died in Cheng Xu¡¯s hands. However,pared to Xue Jingcheng at the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition, this Xue Jingcheng seemed to be more powerful. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. ¡°Lord Pce Master, it seems that you have a bad start this time!¡± Xue Jingcheng did not seem to regard ckwater Pce Lord as an elder or superior. ¡°Not only did I not get the item, but I also lost a Demonic Neonate.¡± Seeing Xue Jingcheng enter, ck Water Pce Lord suppressed the poison in his body and tried his best to look healthier. ¡°We can only say that we underestimated the strength of Little Southern Heaven s Righteous Path. Especially Fu Yunzi. He¡¯s far stronger than we expected.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just an Early Stage Core Transformation cultivator. When our army arrives, he¡¯ll be nothing more than an ant.¡± Xue Jingcheng did not mind. ¡°Inparison, I¡¯m more interested in the death of the Specter Brothers.¡± ckWater Pce Master¡¯s expression changed slightly as he exined, ¡°There¡¯s a mysterious kid in the Medicine Celestial Valley who seems to be able to restrain my sect¡¯s ckWater. The Medicine Celestial Valley s Medicine Mantra is extremely tyrannical.¡± ¡°It can restrain my ckWater. Could it be the power of another Dao Origin?¡± Xue Jingcheng was secretly surprised. He then carefully sized up ck Water Pce Lord, ¡°Has Pce Lord been poisoned?¡± ¡°Yes, a very terrifying poison.¡± As he spoke, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood. Xue Jingcheng frowned. A slender ck tentacle extended from his fingertip and pierced into the main body of the ckWater Pce Lord. ¡°Interesting. Even the power of the Dao source can¡¯t resolve it.¡± Two dayster, the treasured ship slowlynded in the Medicine Celestial Valley. The news that Cheng Xu had disyed his might in the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition had already reached the Medicine Celestial Valley. The entire sect came to wee Cheng Xu and celebrate his triumphant return. The current Cheng Xu had undoubtedly be the pride of the Medicine Celestial Valley! In the next few days, the news of the Medicine Celestial Valley winning the championship quickly spread throughout Mini Southern Heaven. At this point, the Medicine Celestial Valley had returned to the ranks of the five great Righteous Sects of Mini Southern Heaven. No one dared to question the Medicine Celestial Valleys foundation and strength. At the same time, the news of Fu Yunzi¡¯s return to the Cloud Sect also made the Cloud Sect¡¯s reputation soar. It was showing signs of bing the number one sect of the Righteous Sect. It was worth mentioning that although the Medicine Celestial Valley had won the championship, the position of the leader of the Righteous Dao Alliance was ultimately given to the Cloud Sect. There was no other way. Compared to the Medicine Celestial Valley, the Cloud Sect was clearly more suitable to lead the Righteous Sect Alliance. Moreover, Little Southern Heaven was now under Fu Yunzi¡¯s control, so no matter how one looked at it, Cloud Sect should be the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t care about the fact that he was a nobody. After attending the celebration banquet, he hurried back to his cave abode and began to install the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. Not long after the instation began, the entire user unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep [crash] state. When she woke up, it was already more than ten dayster. ¡°So the eighth level of the Sword Scripture requires one to master all the previous seven levels?¡± Looking at the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, which only had seven levels of sword techniques, Cheng Xu could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, from what he had heard, the Seventh-Grade Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was definitely enough. Now that the Suppressing Demon Martial Arts Competition has ended, he should also immerse himself in studying the Medicine Dao and strive to refine Supreme-grade Medicinal Pills. The sun and moon rotated, and two months passed in a sh. After the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition, perhaps because they were afraid of Fu Yunzi¡¯s strength, the few sects of the Demonic Path had restrained themselves a lot and basically did not dare to make any big moves. They would only asionally appear in some remote ces in Mini Nantian, as if they were investigating and searching for something. Every day, Cheng Xu would either refine medicine or cultivate. asionally, he wTould find time to refine a batch of Array Disks and hand them over to Jian Yuxiang. His days were quite leisurely. After two months of hard work, Cheng Xu finally mastered the ability to refine Supreme-grade Medicinal Pills under the condition of Semi-Automatic Refining. Unfortunately, some high-grade medicinal pills could not create top-grade pills. ¡°He should be at the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, right?¡± During this period of time, Cheng Xu had been cultivating under the double support of the high-grade Qi Condensation Pill and the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, and his cultivation had increased rapidly. He was now very close to the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. ¡°Senior Brother, there¡¯s a distinguished guest?¡± Miao Changsheng led a group of people into the manor cave. Cheng Xu focused his eyes and saw Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu. It had been two months since theyst met, and Yan Changfeng had already entered the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was said that he had alsoprehended the fifth level of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. The four of them greeted Cheng Xu familiarly and then sat down at Cheng Xu¡¯s invitation. ¡°Haha, Brother Cheng, how are you?¡± Huyan Zan asked rather proudly, ¡°Guess what I brought you?¡± ¡°Could it be that the Flowing Brightness Sand has been found?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Flowing Brightness Sand!¡± Huyan Zan chuckled and took out a jade bottle. The bottle contained some golden fine sand, which was the material needed for the Hard Disk to reach 5.6 liters. ¡°How is it, Brother Cheng? This should be enough, right?¡± ¡°Enough, It s definitely enough.¡± Cheng Xu was overjoyed. ¡°Brother Huyan, name your price.¡± ¡°Uh, 1 won¡¯t be collecting the spirit stones.¡± Huyan Zan waved his hand and said with a smile, ¡°My old man said that this Flowing Brightness Sand is to repay my brother¡¯s favor.1¡¯ Cheng Xu didn¡¯t reject him anymore. After putting away the Flowing Brightness Sand, he curiously looked at the four of them. ¡°I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something you want me to do, right?¡± Yan Changfeng nodded seriously. ¡°A few days ago, many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators from the devil sects went deep into the Endless Deste Domain in the south. We¡¯re going to investigate together.. Are you interested, Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Chapter 89 - 89: Endless Desolate Domain Chapter 89: Endless Deste Domain Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Endless Deste Domain?¡± Cheng Xu frowned. The system¡¯s misceneous knowledge encyclopedia had records of the Endless Deste Domain, as well as many rumors and stories rted to the Endless Deste Domain. As everyone knew, Mini Southern Heaven was the southernmost part of the cultivation world. The destend further south of Mini Southern Heaven was the legendary uninhabitednd, the Endless Deste Domain. The further south the Mini Southern Heaven Territory went, the thinner the Spiritual Energy became. The so-called Endless Deste Domain was, to put it bluntly, a vast area in the southern part of Mini Southern Heaven without any Spiritual Energy. ¡°Yes.¡± Yan Changfeng said solemnly, ¡°ording to the information we have, all the Devil Dao parties attach great importance to this operation. ording to the information we have collected recently, a longsting war did happen in Mini Southern Heaven ten thousand years ago. The Endless Deste Domain is likely to be the main battlefield of that war.¡± After learning that it was rted to the great war from ten thousand years ago, Cheng Xu was immediately interested. ¡°What exactly happened in the war ten thousand years ago?¡± Cheng Xu asked. ¡°It has been too long. It¡¯s already not easy to find a few words.¡± ¡°No.¡± Yan Changfeng shook his head helplessly. ¡°However, judging from the words, many top Cultivators died in the war. It will be a worthwhile trip if we can get a treasure left behind by the ancient Cultivators.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes lit up again. ¡°When do we set off?¡± ¡°Naturally, the sooner the better.¡± ¡°Alright, Junior Brother will bring everyone around the valley first and prepare a little for Brother.¡± Cheng Xu immediately made the decision. Yan Changfeng and the others were naturally overjoyed. They left the cave abode to remind him, ¡°That¡¯s right, junior brother Cheng, there¡¯s no Spiritual Energy in the endless wastnd. Prepare more Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills to replenish your supply.¡± ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yan.¡± Cheng Xu nodded. After sending them off, he used Flowing Brightness Sand to upgrade the Hard Disk to level 6. The Hard Drive space jumped from 4096MB to 8192MB. For a short period of time, he would no longer have to worry about theck of space. However, the upgrade materials for the Hard Disk made him frown slightly. ¡°zing Earth? It was another material that he had never heard of before.¡± As expected, as the Hard Drive¡¯s level increased, the upgrading materials also began to be more expensive. Following that, he went to the Spirit Herb Hall to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs and refined a batch of Qi Recovery Pills and Healing Pills. As for Spirit Stones, he didn¡¯tck them at all. The Jian Chamber of Commerce¡¯s monthly fixed ie of one million had long allowed him to achieve financial freedom. Everything was ready, so he went to bid farewell to his master, Perfected Chi Yao, before leaving. Although Perfected Chi Yao was worried when he learned that Cheng Xu was going to the Endless Deste Domain, he didn¡¯t stop him. However, when Cheng Xu left, he stuffed arge pile of all kinds of top-grade pills into his hands. Let¡¯s put it this way. With the supply of pills from his master, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to stay in the Endless Deste Domain for two or three years. Perhaps this was the love from his master. ¡°How is it? Brother Cheng, can we go now?¡± Huyan Zan and the others were already waiting outside the cave. A momentter, a small and exquisite boat flew out of the Medicine Celestial Valley and headed south. Five dayster, at the southern border of Mini Southern Heaven, hundreds of miles of uninhabitednd. The exquisite boat was flying through the clouds. Yan Changfeng and the others were watching Cheng Xu who was breaking through, feeling amazed. ¡°Brother Cheng¡¯s growth speed is really¡­¡± Liu Qiao sighed in surprise. Not long ago, Cheng Xu was still an outer sect disciple who had been expelled from the Cloud Sect, but now he was already a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Cheng Xu slowly opened his eyes. His Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation had already stabilized, and his entire body was extremely rxed. ¡°The Spiritual Energy in the surroundings is getting more and more scarce. We should be arriving soon.¡± Cheng Xu asked as he felt the thin Spiritual Energy around him. ¡°We should be able to enter the Endless Deste Domain in at most two hours.¡± Huyan Zan ridiculed as he steered the boat, ¡°It¡¯s already very ufortable with the thin Spiritual Energy. I don¡¯t know how ufortable it will be after entering the Endless Deste Domain.¡± ¡°Adapt, adapt, adapt.¡± Xue Lingyu chuckled. ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Yan, the Endless Deste Domain is so big, where can we find those devil cultivators?¡± Huyan Zan asked. Yan Changfeng chuckled and took out a specially-madepass. ¡°The few Demonic Cultivators all have the special mark of the Cloud Sect. As long as they are within a certain range, we can sense their location.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± As he spoke, the surrounding Spiritual Energy decreased further. The verdantnd below gradually became barren, and even the color tone became darker. The moment the Spiritual Energypletely dissipated, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of difort. As far as the eye could see, it was a destend filled with death and devastation. Everyone on the ship was shocked by the deste scenery in front of them. Although the wounds on the ground had been healed by time, traces of high-level battles could still be seen. Broken mountain rocks, t rifts, and oddly-shaped deep pits. Clearly, these were not naturally formedndforms. ¡°It seems that a long and drawn-out war really did happen here.¡± Yan Changfeng was bewildered and thought, ¡°But who would be fighting in such a ce?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Normally, not to mention cultivators, even mortals wouldn¡¯te to such a ce. What¡¯s the point of fighting in a ce like this?¡± Huyan Zan retorted. ¡°Perhaps the Spiritual Energy in this area hadn¡¯t dried up ten thousand years ago?¡± Xue Lingyu guessed. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it makes sense.¡± Yan Changfeng frowned. ¡°But as far as I know, the Endless Deste Domain doesn¡¯t have any trend of spreading to the north. At least, there¡¯s no record of it in the past thousand years.¡± ¡°Who cares? Let¡¯s find those Demonic Cultivators first.¡± Liu Qiao was toozy to think about this. Cheng Xu silently looked at the devastatednd below. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle could have created such and of peril. The treasure ship continued to travel deeper into Deste Territory. Soon, the outline of a heavily weathered mountain that towered into the clouds appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. Yan Changfeng and the others did not pay much attention to it, but Cheng Xu¡¯s heart was beating wildly. ¡°Brother Huyan, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to get closer to that mountain.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Huyan Zan and the others looked at the mountain in confusion. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t say anything. He just stared at the mountain that was gradually bing clearer. He couldn¡¯t help it. The outline of the mountain that was inserted into the ground was too familiar. It was exactly the same as the half of the spaceship he had seen in the Ancient Deste Demon Realm. The only difference was that the spaceship was covered in nts and moss, while the spaceship in front of him was covered in ayer of rock and sand. When he got closer, he could see some rusty metal sections at the cracks. ¡°This mountain¡­¡± Yan Changfeng and the others also gradually sensed that something was wrong. ¡°Oh my, so it¡¯s a maic mountain?¡± Huyan Zan made a fuss out of nothing and said, ¡°That¡¯s not right. How could the maic mountain look like this? It¡¯s even hollow. Quick, quick, let¡¯s go down and take a look.¡± The treasure ship slowlynded on the top of the ¡®mountain¡¯, and the five of them immediately conducted aprehensive survey of the entire mountain. It didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t look, but the more he looked, the more shocked he became. Especially the huge hole at the cross-section, it made everyone click their tongues in wonder. ¡°Good heavens, there¡¯s actually aplicated formation talisman circuit inside this mountain. Even I can¡¯t understand it, and the metal also has obvious signs of melting.¡± Huyan Zan said, ¡°In my opinion, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a giant Dharma treasure!¡± Is there such a huge magic weapon in the world?¡± Xue Lingyu murmured in surprise. ng! Huyan Zan kicked the rock and soilyer on the ¡®mountain¡¯ and observed the exposed ck metal carefully. ¡°It must have been melted. The melting technique is superb, and the material is unheard of. Even my father¡¯s Scorching Sun Ancient Sword might not be able to hurt such a material..¡± Chapter 90 - 90: Dark Red Sticky Matter Chapter 90: Dark Red Sticky Matter Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Really?¡± Liu Qiao came up in surprise. ¡°Then, if we use this metal to refine armor or magic treasures, wouldn¡¯t we be invincible?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The key is how to move this mountain back.¡± Huyan Zan secretly shook his head. Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Just as Huyan Zan had said, they couldn¡¯t even cut off a single piece of metal, let alone bring the entire mountain back. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t care about this. His attention was focused on the hollow inside of the ¡®mountain.¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look?¡± Facing Cheng Xu¡¯s suggestion, everyone looked at each other and nodded. Entering the interior of the mountain along the rugged rocks, the few of them disyed their magical powers and used their own lighting methods. ¡°It¡¯s indeed a giant magic treasure¡± Yan Changfeng and the other three were even more shocked when they saw the interior of the mountain. Unlike the mountain that was wrapped in rock and soil, the interior of the mountain was a damaged metal frame structure. Broken metal passages extended in all directions, and some damaged wires could be seen in the corners. Yan Changfeng and the others obviously did not know anything about circuits. They thought that it was some special internal structure of magical equipment. ¡°Eh, these small parts can be disassembled?¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s eyes lit up. He grabbed a broken metal strip and tried to dismantle it. A momentter, under Huyan Zan¡¯s full strength, the metal strip was really removed. Seeing this, Yan Changfeng and the other two began to search for the loose metal parts to disassemble. Everyone looked as if they had found a treasure. Cheng Xu also tried to dismantle a few small metal parts. With his current refining level, he could not see through the refining method of these metal parts at all. Obviously, the materials used to build the spaceship were products of a high-tech civilization. ¡°If we take this back and refine it into a magic treasure, our strength will at least increase by a level.¡± Liu Qiao was tearing it down with great effort. During the dismantling process, everyone slowly went deeper into the spaceship. A momentter, the appearance of a human skeleton caught their attention. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a human skeleton here!¡± Xue Lingyu called everyone over in shock. ¡°Although the spiritual power in the skeleton has dissipated, from the hardness and density of the skeleton, this person¡¯s strength was at least at the peak of the Golden Core realm when he was alive.¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. Immediately after, a jade token in the skeleton caught Liu Qiao¡¯s attention. ¡°This is¡­?¡± The style and pattern of the jade token was somewhat simr to the Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s identity token. ¡°Fairy, has your Mystic Arts Sect ever used such an identity token?¡± Yan Changfeng frowned and asked. ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Xue Lingyu looked at the skeleton in front of her with aplicated expression. ¡°However, there¡¯s a high chance that the lines on this jade token have some connection with our Mystic Arts Sect. Could it be that this person is really a sage of our Mystic Arts Sect?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible, right?¡± ¡°How long has it been since your Mystic Arts Sect was established? This senior was a cultivator from ten thousand years ago.¡± ¡°What if it¡¯s ater like us?¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be possible. The Endless Deste Domain has everything it wants, not even demonic beasts. How could a peak Jindan Stage expert fall in such a ce? Unless he was killed by a cultivator in the same trade.¡± ¡°Anyways, I have to bring this jade token back to show the elders.¡± Xue Lingyu pondered for a long time. No one had any objections to this. He then rummaged through the surroundings of the skeleton, but he did not find anything else of value. There was not even a storage bag left behind. From the looks of it, it really did look like someone was trying to kill him for money. However, as they went deeper, the scene before them became more and more strange. In the dark, abandoned metal cabin, broken limbs made of metal andplicated structures were scattered everywhere, making Cheng Xu¡¯s scalp tingle. ¡°A metal-refined magic treasure?¡± Huyan Zan and the others picked up the metal limbs and studied them. Cheng Xu was silent because he knew very well that it was not a metal puppet but a robot. If he was not mistaken, these robots were the natives of this spaceship. The cultivator who was suspected to be a predecessor of the Mystic Arts Sect was more like an intruder. So here was the problem? Where did these robots and spaceshipse from? ¡°Haha, this is much easier than dismantling parts.¡± Huyan Zan was in front of them, getting carried away. Until a subtle noise came from the depths of the cabin, like the sound of something squirming. The people who had been happily picking up items instantly became alert. ¡°What¡¯s that sound? Is there a living thing inside?¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Liu Qiao was bewildered and subconsciously sent out his divine senses. ¡°The material of this magic treasure seems to be able to block divine sense.¡± The few of them did not speak, silently preparing for battle. Soon, there was another wriggling sound, and it was much closer than before. ¡°What are you trying to do? Come out and fight if you have the guts!¡± Huyan Zan mocked coldly. At the same time, Yan Changfeng seemed to have sensed something. He took out the specialpass in bewilderment. ¡°Not good. The demons of the Demonic Path seem to be approaching the magical equipment too.¡± ¡°Damn it! They¡¯re really in a rush.¡± Liu Qiao cursed in his heart, his eyes fixed on the depths of the tunnel. ¡°Strange, could it be that the fiends are also here for this giant magic treasure?¡± Huyan Zan was puzzled. As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of dark red mucus shot out from the depths of the cabin. Cheng Xu reacted immediately and controlled the +5 flying sword to repel the dark red sticky liquid. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Huyan Zan was obviously shocked. ¡°Why do I feel like it¡¯s simr to the ck Water of the ck Water Mystic Pce?¡± Xue Lingyu frowned slightly and threw a fire talisman over. Boom! The fire talisman burst into mes, but it did not hurt the dark red mucus at all. Liu Qiao didn¡¯t stay idle either. The moment the Disk Array appeared, it immediately formed an array light barrier around him, imprisoning him. However, what everyone did not expect was that the array light barrier was like air in front of the dark red mucus. It could not trap the dark red mucus at all. Seeing that the dark red sticky liquid was about to slip away, a stream of Mystic Water Spell flowed out of Cheng Xu¡¯s palm and wrapped around it. Unfortunately, the Mystic Water Mantra was like air in front of the sticky liquid. The slug-like dark red mucus easily broke out of the Mystic Water Technique and fled into the depths of the cabin. ¡°Why do 1 feel like that thing doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions? It looks like it¡¯s ying with us?¡± Xue Lingyu asked with a strange expression. Thinking of the strange ck sticky liquid from the ck Water Mystic Pce, and looking at the Devil Dao crowd that was rapidly approaching on thepass, Yan Changfeng vaguely guessed something. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the Devil Dao is most likely here for this strange sticky liquid.¡± ¡°That makes sense.¡± Liu Qiao nodded in agreement. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Before the demonic cultivators arrive, we¡¯ll follow them in and take a look.¡± Yan Changfeng said seriously, ¡°No matter what the sticky liquid is, as long as the Devil Dao wants it, we can¡¯t let them have their way.¡± Everyone looked at each other and continued to go in the direction that the dark red mucus had escaped in. Da! Da! The footsteps of the group of five echoed in the dark spaceship. The dark red liquid in front of them seemed to be deliberately guiding them. Every time they reached a corner, it would stop and wait for them for a while. ¡°Hmm?¡± Cheng Xu seemed to have heard some slight movement. After his sound card was upgraded to level four, his hearing ability far surpassed that of cultivators of the same level. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Junior Brother Cheng?¡± Yan Changfeng stopped in confusion. ¡°The footsteps just now didn¡¯t sound right. It seemed like there was a sixth person¡¯s footsteps.¡± Cheng Xu frowned. ¡°I¡¯m afraid someone is already ahead of us.¡± Huyan Zan and the others were secretly shocked. ¡°Are you sure you didn¡¯t hear wrongly?¡± Cheng Xu nodded firmly. Although the footsteps were very far away from them and they deliberately covered their voices, they were still captured by him. ¡°Has a demonic cultivator already arrived? Then we have to hurry!¡± Yan Changfeng said with a serious expression.. Chapter 91 - 91: Flesh and Blood Dao Origin Chapter 91: Flesh and Blood Dao Origin Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion As he continued to follow the dark red mucus, the cabin passage ahead began to be strange. The metal wall was covered with a scarlet substance that looked like a fungus. Upon closer inspection, it looked more like some disgusting flesh and blood tissue. As they went deeper, the flesh and blood on the wall increased, as if they had entered the body of some giant creature. ¡°It looks like the work of the Devil Dao.¡± Yan Changfeng stopped and carefully examined the flesh and blood. ¡°Could it be that this giant magic treasure is rted to the Demonic Path?¡± Iluyan Zan frowned and asked suspiciously. ¡°Only demonic cultivators can create such a bloody and terrifying thing.¡± Xue Lingyu nodded in agreement. ¡°It¡¯s just that these flesh-like substances seem a little strange.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yan Changfeng nodded solemnly. ¡°The flesh and blood are lifeless, but they can keep multiplying. It¡¯s very strange.¡± As they continued to venture deeper into the spaceship, the scene before them became more and more terrifying. Tumor-like saas began to appear on the surface of the flesh and blood tissue all over the wall, making one¡¯s scalp tingle. At the same time, the demonic cultivators had also entered the spaceship and were rapidly approaching it. In order to disrupt the good deeds of the Demonic Path, Cheng Xu and the rest had no choice but to speed up their pace. A momentter, the dark red liquid leading the way finally stopped and led everyone into a huge cabin. The entire cabin was covered with ayer of strange flesh and blood tissue. Scarlet saas of all sizes were scattered all over the cabin. After bringing everyone into the cabin, the dark red mucus entered a strange corpse in the middle of the cabin with a whoosh. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± Cheng Xu and the others immediately noticed the strange corpse. ¡°What the hell is this? Is it alive or dead?¡± Huyan Zan stuttered. It was a well-preserved male corpse with no signs of decay. Ity on the ground in a hideous and strange posture. The back half of the body that touched the ground seemed to have taken root and sprouted. Dense flesh and blood roots grew out and spread to the entire cabin with the body as the center. It was obvious that the flesh and blood they saw just now came from this strange corpse. ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense that a corpse from ten thousand years ago can be preserved so well, right?¡± Liu Qiao was bewildered. Everyone sent out their divine senses to check. After confirming that the corpse had no signs of life, they were even more surprised. ¡°Could it be because of the dark red mucus?¡± Cheng Xu spected. ¡°It¡¯s possible.¡± Yan Changfeng pondered and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a closer look.¡± The few of them carefully approached the corpse. The more they looked, the more shocked they were. Although the Spiritual Energy in the corpse had already dissipatedpletely, he could still deduce the strength of the person when he was alive from the strength of the corpse¡¯s physical body. ¡°The Demonic Path is most likely here for this corpse. Let¡¯s try to destroy him first.¡± The few of them looked at each other and began to try to destroy the corpse. Thus, a strange scene appeared. No matter how they attacked, they could not hurt the corpse at all. Even if Cheng Xu used the +5 flying sword to forcefully cut open a wound, the wound would heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. ¡°What the hell is this corpse?¡± Huyan Zan ridiculed in bewilderment. ¡°A corpse that can be preserved from ten thousand years ago is indeed not that simple.¡± Yan Changfeng sighed and shook his head. At this moment, Cheng Xu keenly sensed the movement of the demonic cultivators gradually approaching and immediately suggested, ¡°The demonic cultivators should being soon. Why don¡¯t we hide first and see what the demonic cultivators are going to do?¡± ¡°This is not a bad idea.¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Just like that, the few of them found a corner in the cabin and hid in the dark with Liu Qiao¡¯s Invisibility Array and Aura Istion Array. Just in case, Xue Lingyu also cast an additional Breath Concealing Talisman on each of them. Not long after, arge number of Devil Dao cultivators poured into the cabin. Their eyes were fixed on the strange corpse, and their eyes were shining. Just like the information that Yan Changfeng had, they were all Building Foundation Stage demonic cultivators. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that there were a few familiar figures among them. Xu Lu, the Saintess of the Blood Demon Church, was an old acquaintance. The key was that another youth from the ck Water Mystic Pce had stunned Cheng Xu and the others. ¡°F*ck, Xue Jingcheng?¡± Huyan Zan stuttered as he looked at the crowd andmunicated with them using his divine sense. Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others were also bbergasted. They thought that they were hallucinating. ¡°It is indeed Xue Jingcheng.¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°But didn¡¯t he die?¡± ¡°Now it seems that the one who died should only be one of his clones. This Xue Jingcheng is already at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm,¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. ¡°No wonder the ck Water Pce Lord didn¡¯t react when Xue Jingcheng died,¡± Liu Qiao said. ¡°So it was only Xue Jingcheng¡¯s avatar that died?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what they¡¯re going to do first.¡± Xue Jingcheng and Xu Lu, who were the leaders of the Demonic Path, did not detect Cheng Xu¡¯s aura. Everyone¡¯s attention was already attracted by the strange corpse. ¡°It really is the aura of the Dao Origin.¡± Xue Jingcheng greedily took a deep breath, intoxicated by the smell of flesh and blood. ¡°Are those people from above here for these things?¡± The Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth beside Xu Lu frowned and asked. ¡°Of course not.¡± Xue Jingcheng shook his head and smiled. ¡°Although the Dao Origin is precious, it¡¯s not enough to make the higher-ups mobilize so many people.¡± Hearing this, Xu Lu could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Does Big Brother Xue know something?¡± ¡°I do know some inside information, but it has nothing to do with small figures like us.¡± Xue Jingcheng went over to the corpse to examine it and smiled. ¡°This corpse should contain the Origin of Dao of Flesh and Blood, which is morepatible with the orthodoxy of your Blood Demon Church. However, this Origin of Dao of Flesh and Blood is not pure. With your current cultivation, it¡¯s better not to absorb too much.¡± ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother Xue.¡± Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Stage youth beside her cupped their fists in thanks, then impatiently began to absorb the dark red mucus inside the corpse. Cheng Xu and the others saw everything from the shadows and could not help but click their tongues in wonder. While Xu Lu and the other two were absorbing the dark red mucus, Xue Jingcheng and the other Fiendish Cultivators did not stay idle either. They began to search the interior of the spaceship carefully, as if they were searching for something. It was obvious that the Demonic Path wasn¡¯t looking for the corpse and the dark red liquid. Seeing that the other Fiendish Cultivators were spreading out to search, while Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth were still seriously absorbing the dark red mucus, Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and prepared to make their move. Whoosh! The five people hiding in the dark attacked together, targeting Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth. Liu Qiao held the Array Disk in his hand and immediately set up a fewyers of formations to temporarily iste the other fiendish cultivators. At the same time, two formations of the Big Dipper appeared above the cabin. Cheng Xu and Yan Changfeng performed the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword at the same time, shing at Xu Lu and the young man in thete stage of the Building Foundation Stage respectively. The sudden turn of events shocked Xue Jingcheng and his men, and they hurried over to support them. Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth who were absorbing the sword¡¯s energy were instantly jolted awake. Unfortunately, the meteor-like sword light was already very close. ng! ng! At the critical moment, the familiar Blood Soul Bell floated out of their bodies and helped them withstand the fatal blow. ¡°It¡¯s you?!¡± Xu Lu, who had woken up, was shocked. She hurriedly wanted to counterattack, but she was blown away by Xue Lingyu¡¯s talisman. Huyan Zan followed closely behind and used a kick technique that descended from the sky to smash down, embedding it deep into the flesh and blood tissues on the ground.. Chapter 92 - 92: Meeting Yue Wanling Again Chapter 92: Meeting Yue Wanling Again Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The young man who had been looking for Yan Changfeng had been looking for him. However, what shocked everyone was that not only was Xu Lu not injured, but she also stood up energetically. Traces of the red mucus flowed down her body, giving people a strange feeling. ¡°Is this the power of the Dao Origin?¡± Xu Lu excitedly sized up the red mucus on her body, her expression intoxicated. Cheng Xu¡¯s brows were tightly locked as he watched. He used the second and third sword moves of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword in session. Puff! The two swords stabbed Xu Lu¡¯s vital points. However, the wounds on Xu Lu¡¯s body were the same as that of the corpse. In the blink of an eye, they recovered to their original state. ¡°Hahaha, useless handsome boy, you can¡¯t kill me!¡± Xu Luughed smugly and sent out three blood-colored demons to attack Cheng Xu. In his shock, Cheng Xu directly threw out a Nine Layered me Wave. Strangely enough, the young man of the Blood Demon Church, who was at the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Building Stage, didn¡¯t receive the same power after absorbing the dark red mucus. He was still injured. ¡°Could it be because of the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique?¡± Cheng Xu secretly guessed. Boom! The power of the Nine Layer me Wave was unquestionable, and Xu Lu was forced to retreat step by step. At the same time, the formation that Liu Qiao had set up had already been broken by Xue Jingcheng and the others. Many Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators surrounded them. ¡°Interesting, I didn¡¯t expect that you Righteous Path members would alsoe.¡± Xue Jingcheng sized up Cheng Xu and the others with great interest, his eyes filled with disdain. ¡°Brother Xue, don¡¯t be careless. These few are all prodigies of the Righteous Path of Mini South Heaven.¡± Jiang Hong, the fleaven¡¯s Favorite of the Yama Demon Sect, reminded. ¡°Righteous Path prodigy?¡± Xue Jingcheng was slightly stunned. ¡°The ones who fought with youst time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Hearing this, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s interest was instantly piqued. ¡°Who killed my brother?¡± ¡°That Cheng Xu guy¡¯s strength is very strange.¡± Xue Jingcheng¡¯s gaze instantly locked onto Cheng Xu. He immediatelyughed out loud and charged towards Cheng Xu. ¡°Come,e,e. Let this Young Master see what you¡¯re capable of!¡± Seeing Xue Jingcheng¡¯s attack, Cheng Xu silently crushed a batch of spirit stones to recover his True Essence and read the other party¡¯s data. Yan Changfeng and the others also quickly engaged in a chaotic battle with the other Fiendish Cultivators. ¡°Qi!¡± As soon as the Qi word was spoken, Xue Jingcheng¡¯s aura was instantly disrupted, and a trace of surprise shed in his eyes. Fortunately, with the advantage of being at the peak of the foundational level, he quickly suppressed the restlessness of his zhenqi. Streams of ck mucus shot out of his body like ghosts and whistled toward Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He activated his Fire Magnificent Robe and Protective Upstanding Qi at the same time, and the +5 flying sword flew out with the Cloud Sword Technique. Boom! The flying sword¡¯s attack was easily blocked by the ck sticky liquid on Xue Jingcheng¡¯s body. Although Cheng Xu¡¯s me Magnificent Robe sessfully blocked the ck ghosts, the strange ck mucus still seeped into his body. Fortunately, the ck substance in his body was powerful enough to quickly absorb the ck mucus. Xue Jingcheng saw everything and was shocked. ¡°I see. No wonder you could kill my brother!¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t waste time talking nonsense with him. He opened his Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye and stunned him on the spot. At the same time, the system also sessfully obtained detailed data on Xue Jingcheng. Xue Jingcheng [Cultivation: Peak Foundation Establishment] [Cultivation Technique: Demonic Neonate Body Forging Technique] [Martial Arts Techniques: ck Water Erosion, Demon Blood Countercurrent, Dark Demon w, Sky-Devouring Demon Shadow, Void Ghost Shadow¡­] Previously, during the Demon Suppression Martial Competition, he had not been able to read Xue Jingcheng¡¯s data because of Xu Lu. Now that he saw Xue Jingcheng¡¯s data, Cheng Xu could not help but frown. If he remembered correctly, the Demonic Infant that the Grand Cloud Spiritual Master had transformed into also practiced the Demonic Infant Body Casting Skill. ¡°Could it be that Xue Jingcheng was originally a demonic baby?¡± Thinking of this, Cheng Xu could not help but feel his scalp go numb. If that was the case, would there be a third or fourth Xue Jingcheng? Of course, now was not the time to worry about this. While Xue Jingcheng was stunned, the four flying swords in his storage bag flew out at the same time. Then, Cheng Xu directly added a Qi character mantra to himself. Holding the +5 flying sword in his hand, he used the Cloud Sword Technique to sh at Xue Jingcheng. At the same time, the Big Dipper Array appeared out of thin air. The four flying swords turned into shooting stars and slid down one after another. The four Flying Cloud Meteor Swords could be said to be one after another, without the slightest gap. This was much stronger than him directly using the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword. ¡°This¡­!¡± On the other side, Yan Changfeng, who was fighting with the demonic cultivators, was dumbfounded. Previously, it was already ridiculous enough for Cheng Xu to use threeyers of the Cloud Sword Technique at the same time. He did not expect there to be something even more ridiculous. ¡°D*mn, can the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword be yed like this?¡± Huyan Zan and the others were also dumbfounded. One had to know that under normal circumstances, the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was already very powerful when it was released one move after another. Now that the four Flying Cloud Meteor Swords were being used almost at the same time, who could withstand it? Reality proved that the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was no joke. Xue Jingcheng, who had woken up from his dizziness, did not even have time to react before he was pierced through by four flying lights. His face instantly turned pale. If not for the Darkness Dao Origin in his body being powerful enough, he would probably have died. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that a small ce like Little Nantian would have such an outstanding genius like you!¡± Xue Jingcheng¡¯s body was covered in ck mucus, and his face gradually became ferocious. ¡°Unfortunately, you met me. Uh¡­¡± Just as Xue Jingcheng was about to unleash his ultimate move, an imposing sword light flew out from a corner and pierced through Xue Jingcheng¡¯s chest from behind. Xue Jingcheng, who was still arrogant and ruthless a second ago, was dumbfounded. Immediately after, an emerald jade bottle flew out from the corner and sucked Xue Jingcheng in and refined him amidst his terrified screams. The crowd on both sides of the arena was dumbfounded by this scene. While Cheng Xu was bewildered, he suddenly looked at the corner where the flying sword and the small jade bottle flew over, and his expression gradually became strange. A female cultivator with an unfamiliar appearance slowly appeared. Although she looked unfamiliar, Cheng Xu still recognized her identity through the data he read. That¡¯s right, it was Yue Wanling who had not seen her for a long time. Previously, they had felt that someone had entered this ce before them. They did not expect it to be these sisters. But then again, this girl was actually in thete stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm? Her cultivation speed was even more abnormal than a cheat yer like him. It was indeed a little ridiculous. After Yue Wanling appeared, she calmly flew forward to put away the small jade bottle and took a look. She frowned slightly and nced at Cheng Xu. ¡°The ckwater Mystic Pce is very strange. If Fellow Daoist wants it, I can give you a friendly price!¡± Although she had a new face now, she knew that Cheng Xu would definitely recognize her. ¡°So Fairy has alsoe to the Endless Deste Domain?¡± Cheng Xu cupped his fists with a strange expression. ¡°What are you saying? If you cane, why can¡¯t I?¡± Yue Wanling pursed her lips and teased. Yan Changfeng and the others were a little vignt and nervous when they saw the oriole that suddenly appeared in the corner. They only rxed a little when they saw that Cheng Xu knew the other party. On the other hand, the other demonic cultivators were all scared out of their wits when they saw how easily Xue Jingcheng was killed by the mysterious female cultivator. They didn¡¯t dare to continue fighting and ran faster than thest. Yan Changfeng and the others also took advantage of the opportunity when the demonic cultivators fled in all directions to sessfully kill a few demonic cultivators. After confirming that the demonic cultivators had already slipped away, he excitedly went to Cheng Xu and Yue Wanling¡¯s side. ¡°Brother Cheng, who is this fairy?¡± Liu Qiao asked curiously. ¡°I met a wandering cultivator fairy by chance earlier. Her strength is quite extraordinary.¡± Cheng Xu smiled and introduced them, ¡°These are the geniuses of the younger generation of the Righteous Path¡­¡± Yue Wanling nodded politely at them. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of the great names of the righteous elites..¡± Chapter 93 - 93: Immortal Corpse? Chapter 93: Immortal Corpse? Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Facing Yue Wanling¡¯spliment, the four of them smiled bitterly. ¡°Fairy, stop talking. Compared to you, us so-called prodigies are just so, so¡­¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s face was filled with shame. Although Yue Wanling did not make much of a move just now, the strength she disyed was clearly above the few of them. Yan Changfeng was the only one who could match up to her in thete-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. ¡°I was just lucky to have encountered an opportunity.¡± Yue Wanling smiled and pretended to be humble. ¡°On the other hand, why did all the elites of the Righteous Path and those demonic cultivators appear in the Endless Deste Domain at the same time?¡± Yan Changfeng looked at Cheng Xu hesitantly. After receiving Cheng Xu¡¯s affirmative gaze, he exined the situation briefly. After listening to what happened, Yue Wanling fell into deep thought. ¡°What can the Demonic Path use in a barrennd like the Endless Deste Domain?¡± ¡°Where is the fairy? Why are you here?¡± Cheng Xu asked. Yue Wanling smiled sweetly. ¡°Rogue cultivators like us are always on the move, looking for opportunities everywhere. Is it strange for us to appear in the Endless Deste Domain?¡± ¡°Why do I feel like my sister knows something?¡± Xue Lingyu frowned as she scrutinized Yue Wanling. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing to hide. I came to the Endless Deste Domain just to search for some special materials for cksmithing.¡± Yue Wanling smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone has also discovered that these magic treasures in the Endless Deste Domain are very powerful. If they are refined into magic treasures or weapons, they will be the best of the best.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu and the others came to a realization. Previously, he was still curious about why Yue Wanling¡¯s magic treasures were so powerful. Now, it seemed that there was an 80% chance that they were all refined from flying ship materials. ¡°Fairy, you know how to forge artifacts?¡± Speaking of forging, Huyan Zan unconsciously straightened his back. Although his strength was notparable to this fairy, he was still very confident in the path of Artifact Refinement. ¡°A little.¡± Yue Wanling smiled lightly. Huyan Zan smiled even more confidently. ¡°Fairy, since you¡¯re an itinerant cultivator and you know how to refine weapons, why don¡¯t you join the Scorching Sun Sect?¡± ¡°The Scorching Sun Sect¡­¡± Without waiting for Huyan Zan to start boasting, Yue Wanling immediately rejected him. ¡°I appreciate your good intentions, but I¡¯m used to cultivating alone and don¡¯t like the atmosphere in the sect.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Alright then.¡± Huyan Zan could only sigh regretfully. Cheng Xu was secretlyughing at the side. Yue Wanling¡¯s ¡®slightly¡¯ was probablyparable to his ¡®slightly.¡¯ Up until now, even he couldn¡¯t figure out Yue Wanling¡¯s Weapon Refinement and Water Quality, let alone Huyan Zan. ¡°By the way, what kind of treasure is this small jade bottle that can actually refine that Devil Path prodigy on the spot?¡± Cheng Xu pulled the topic back to the small jade bottle in Yue Wanling¡¯s hand and sized it up curiously. Yan Changfeng and the others also cast curious looks at him. Yue Wanling smiled and did not answer. ¡°That devil cultivator just now should be the incarnation of the devil infant. Speaking of which, although the (Devil Infant Art) of the ck Water Mystic Pce is evil, it is indeed magical.¡± ¡°Devil Infant Art?¡± This was the first time Liu Qiao had heard of the Demon Infant Technique, and he couldn¡¯t help but be curious. ¡°It¡¯s an extremely strange evil technique. It can use a special method to refine their ck water into a child-like demonic baby. It can be used to possess their own body, or it can be refined into a special avatar.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that I still don¡¯t understand until now. What exactly is that ck water of theirs?¡± Yue Wanling exined. At this point, Yue Wanling paused. Her beautiful eyes fell on the strange corpse in the distance. ¡°Now, it seems that it¡¯s probably the same as the dark red mucus in the immortal corpse. It doesn¡¯t belong to our lower realm.¡± As soon as she said this, everyone present eximed repeatedly. ¡°What is it? Immortal corpse?¡± Yan Changfeng¡¯s pupils trembled. ¡°That corpse is an immortal¡¯s corpse?¡± ¡°Although I can¡¯t reach the true Immortal Realm, I have at least a half-immortal body.¡± ¡°Before you came in, I had already studied the immortal corpse in detail and found this,¡± Yue Wanling said with certainty. As she spoke, she took out a transparent crystal tablet that looked like sci-fi, like some kind of high-tech control terminal. ¡°Do you recognize this item?¡± Yan Changfeng and the others stared at the crystal panel for a while and shook their heads in confusion. Only Cheng Xu frowned and was deep in thought. ¡°Fairy, you should have found more than this, right?¡± Cheng Xu said meaningfully. Yue Wanling ignored Cheng Xu and just silently put away the crystal panel. Then, she weighed the small jade bottle in her hand. ¡°Speaking of which, does Fellow Daoist want the ck water inside?¡± ¡°What do I want that thing for?¡± Cheng Xu yed dumb. On the one hand, Yan Changfeng and the others were still around. On the other hand, he did not want to absorb that thing now. After all, he did not know if it was harmful to his body. But how did Yue Wanling know that he could absorb the ck water? In addition, this girl seemed to know a lot about the ck Water Mystic Pce. She was getting more and more unpredictable. Yue Wanling pursed her lips and silently put away the small jade bottle. ¡°Fairy, is that corpse really the corpse of an immortal?¡± Liu Qiao and the others surrounded the strange corpse, still in disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s obviously impossible for cultivators from the lower realm to have a body of this level.¡± ¡°Hiss¡­ But why would the corpse of an immortal appear in our lower realm?¡± ¡°What?¡± Yan Changfeng was incredulous. ¡°Could it be that even the immortals of the Upper Realm were involved in the war ten thousand years ago?¡± Huyan Zan looked around the cabin. ¡°So, this giant magic tool is very likely an immortal¡¯s magic treasure?¡± ¡°Is there a need to ask? It must be!¡± Liu Qiao said confidently. ¡°ording to what I know, the corpse of an immortal is a good thing. If we can extract the immortal energy from its body and make it into a medicinal pill¡­¡± Xue Lingyu¡¯s beautiful eyes flickered. Yue Wanling immediately poured a bucket of cold water on her. ¡°Fairy Xue, stop dreaming. The immortal energy in this immortal corpse¡¯s body has long been exhausted. Moreover, there is a strange power hidden in its body. If you want to have designs on this immortal corpse, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even know how you died.¡± Xue Lingyu smiled awkwardly and didn¡¯t dare to think about it anymore. Then, everyone began to search for useful things in the cabin and the surrounding cabins. After a round of searching, other than some metal parts that could be disassembled, he found almost nothing of value. Even if there was, it would probably have fallen into Yue Wanling¡¯s hands already. How could it be their turn? Unlike other people who were randomly searching, Cheng Xu, a modern person, had a more logical way of searching. Although he had never seen a spaceship before, he had never seen a pig run before. If his guess was correct, this row of control panels filled with flesh and blood was the control center of this spaceship. He waved his sword and cleaned up the flesh and blood on the console, revealing the sci-fi console inside. He wondered if he could find some remaining information and data from it. Unfortunately, the cultivationputer did not recognize anything. In his disappointment, Yue Wanling appeared behind him. ¡°Fellow Daoist Cheng, do you know what these devices are for?¡± ¡°How would I know? I was just looking around.¡± Cheng Xu pretended to be calm. ¡°Is that so?¡± Yue Wanling was skeptical. ¡°But I keep feeling like you understand something.¡± ¡°It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re overthinking things, Fairy.¡± Cheng Xu pretended to turn around and asked, ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the valuable things inside should have been plundered by Fairy, right?¡± Facing Cheng Xu, Yue Wanling didn¡¯t hide anything. Her small face was a little proud, just like how Cheng Xu was smug with her after he plundered the inheritance of Yuntai Zhenren. ¡°As expected.¡± Cheng Xu could only sigh in his heart. At this moment, Xue Lingyu¡¯s exmation suddenly came from afar, instantly attracting everyone¡¯s attention.. Chapter 94 - 94: Little Guy Chapter 94 - 94: Little Guy Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Everyone hurried to Xue Lingyu¡¯s location. Xue Lingyu took out a ball-shaped device from somewhere. It was about the size of an adult¡¯s head, and the core device inside was like an eyeball. It rotated slightly, and a few messy words popped out from time to time. ¡°It should be a small puppet, right?¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°It seems like it can still be used?¡± Everyone was surprised and went up to take a closer look. Unfortunately, they could not understand the garbled characters inside. On the other hand, the [Read] option appeared in Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes.
After attempting to read it, it entered a long reading process. It wasn¡¯t that the data of this little robot was very busy, but because this robot was seriously damaged, it was very difficult to read it. ¡°Tsk tsk¡­ The magic treasures in the immortal world are really different,¡± Huyan Zan was still amazed. ¡°Looking at the appearance of this little puppet, it¡¯s probably a little toy used to y with children, right?¡± ¡°Teasing the child? Are you sure?¡± Liu Qiao was doubtful. ¡°If it¡¯s not for teasing children, what else can it be for?¡± ¡°Then the question is, where is the child? Or rather, where was the child¡¯s body?¡± Liu Qiao¡¯s soul interrogated. Huyan Zan was speechless. Yue Wanting seemed to recognize some of the characters in the garbled code. ¡°These characters are a little like the characters from a certain period in ancient times. Try¡­ Self-destruction¡­ Mistake¡­ 1 don¡¯t quite understand.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xu broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°D*mn, are we going to self-destruct?¡± ¡°Uh, isn¡¯t there a ¡®mistake¡¯ behind it? It should be fine.¡± ¡°If it really wanted to self-destruct, it would have done so long ago,¡± said Yue Wanting with a smile. Cheng Xu heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, a notification popped up in front of his eyes. Damn, it was a whole multi-G message. Unfortunately, they were all worthless log files, just like a journal. There were only a few pieces of data that recorded the spacecraft¡¯s malfunction information, which was slightly valuable. After going through all the data, Cheng Xu was greatly disappointed. He was toozy to load it into theputer. ¡°I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll find anything of value if we continue searching,¡± Cheng Xu suggested. ¡°Brother Yan, 1¡¯11 have to trouble you to take a look at the movements of those devil cultivators.¡± Yan Changfeng took out thepass and said, ¡°The devil cultivators are still exploring the Waste Realm.¡± ¡°Xue Jingcheng is already dead. The remaining demons are no longer a threat. Follow them and see what they¡¯re up to,¡± Cheng Xu said. Huyan Zan and the others expressed their agreement. ¡°Fairy Yue, why don¡¯t we go together?¡± Cheng Xu nced at Yue Wanting. ¡°I¡¯ve already found the materials I need. I don¡¯t want to stay in this damned ce for too long.¡± Yue Wanling was indeed Yue Wanting. As expected, she was not interested in being with them. She took the opportunity to bid farewell and said, ¡°Everyone, please continue with your work. 1¡¯11 take my leave first.¡± Liu Qiao and the others wanted to persuade her to stay, but unfortunately, Yue Wanling slipped away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only a few people were left in the dark cabin, looking at each other. ¡°Tsk, this Fairy Yue is really a strange woman.¡± Liu Qiao clicked his tongue in wonder. ¡°What? Brother Liu, are you moved?¡± Huyan Zan teased. ¡°No, 1 just feel that such an outstanding fairy has to live in the wild all day long.¡± Yan Changfeng nced at Liu Qiao in annoyance and led everyone out of the spaceship. They had only taken a few steps when they looked behind them. The familiar dark red sticky liquid came out of the immortal corpse at some point and followed them like a stalker. When it saw them turn around, it immediately hid carefully, giving people an inexplicable sense of stupidity and cuteness. Perhaps it was because of the absorption of Xu Lu and thete-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, the dark red mucus was now much smaller than before. ¡°Hey, this little thing is quite interesting.¡± Huyan Zan grinned. ¡°Strange, why isn¡¯t it following those demonic cultivators or Fairy Yue, but following us instead?¡± Xue Lingyu was puzzled. ¡°Maybe there¡¯s something on us that¡¯s attracting it,¡± Yan Changfeng guessed. The few of them looked at each other and decided. Then, they took turns to walk forward and observe the situation of the dark red mucus. A momentter, he sessfully concluded that as long as Cheng Xu walked forward, the dark red mucus would follow. When the others walked, the little thing did not have any reaction. ¡°It really is Brother Cheng.¡± Liu Qiao revealed an expression of ¡®I knew it¡¯. ¡°Among the few of us, Brother Cheng is the most special.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s interest was piqued when he realized that the little fellow was following him. But he couldn¡¯t figure out what was on him that was attracting it. Could it be that this lump of dark red sticky liquid was the same as the ck sticky liquid from before, and it wanted him to absorb it? ¡°Is it because of the transmigrator halo?¡± As Cheng Xu pondered, he carefully approached. At first, the little slut took a few steps back timidly. After realizing that Cheng Xu didn¡¯t have any ill intentions, it directly jumped on Cheng Xu¡¯s head. Strangely enough, this little thing didn¡¯t merge into Cheng Xu¡¯s body and just sat on his head. To put it nicely, it was like a little red riding hood. To put it bluntly, it was a lump of sticky, dark red snot. It was disgusting. ¡°Hey, you guys don¡¯t say. Brother Cheng is really quite handsome like this.¡± Huyan Zan teased. Cheng Xu rolled his eyes. ¡°Strange, why is this little guy following me?¡± ¡°Could it be that he wants to eat pills or something? ¡°As a disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley, Brother Cheng¡¯s body is filled with the fragrance of all kinds of medicinal herbs,¡± Xue Lingyu guessed. Hearing this, Cheng Xu took out a decent quality herb from his storage pouch. The facts proved that Xue Lingyu¡¯s guess was correct. After the little fellow smelled the fragrance of the medicinal herbs, it immediately stuck out a long mucus and wrapped the medicinal herbs in its body. In the blink of an eye, the medicinal herbs were absorbed without a trace. ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s really for the sake of freeloading medicinal herbs. Speaking of which, is this little thing a living thing or a dead thing?¡± Liu Qiao clicked his tongue in wonder. ¡°Who cares? Anyway, this little thing has already clung to Brother Cheng.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and catch up to those demonic cultivators. Otherwise, they should be out of thepass¡¯s detection range.¡± Huyan Zan said indifferently. After saying that, they quickly rushed out of the spaceship. They got out of the broken section of the flying ship and rode Huyan Zan¡¯s treasured ship. They continued to follow the footsteps of the Devil Dao people ording to the guidance of Yan Changfeng¡¯spass. ¡°Eh? That group of people seems to have stopped?¡± Yan Changfeng held thepass in his hands, looking confused. ¡°They probably found a good ce again. Quick, quick, quick. We can¡¯t let them take all the good things.¡± When Huyan Zan heard this, he excitedly injected spirit stones into the treasured ship and elerated it further. Before long, the traces of the demonic path group were already not far away. However, the situation in front of them was not quite what they had expected. The Demon Dao group did not find any treasure. Instead, they were dawdling with someone on a barrennd that was heavily sandy. Looking from afar, a group of people surrounded an old beggar with tattered clothes and shriveled skin. They did not dare to act rashly. The old beggar ignored the demonic cultivators and continued to walk towards the north with firm and powerful steps. ¡°Hiss. That old man¡­?!¡± Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other in shock. It couldn¡¯t be helped. There were no mortals living in the Endless Deste Domain. That old man was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to survive in the Deste Domain. Most importantly, from the direction the old man was heading, he seemed to havee from the depths of Waste Realm. It was no wonder that the demonic cultivators stopped in their tracks. Anyone would be extremely curious about this mysterious old man.. Chapter 95 - 95: Mysterious Old Man Chapter 95 - 95: Mysterious Old Man Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Everyone was not in a hurry to go over and just watched from a distance. The demonic cultivators followed the old man¡¯s footsteps and moved slowly, allowing the old man to remain in the center of the encirclement. Seeing that the old man did not speak, the devil cultivators seemed to be a little impatient. A few Yama Devil Sect devil cultivators looked at each other and tried to step forward to stop the old man. However, before they could get within two meters of the old man, they were shocked by a terrifying pressure. When the other devil cultivators saw this, they were all shocked and looked at the old man with even more curiosity.
¡°Old senior, can you hear us?¡± Xu Lu lowered her tone and tried tomunicate with the old man. However, the old man was still walking towards the north unhurriedly,pletely treating everyone as air. ¡°Hiss, who exactly is this old man? Did they reallye from the depths of the Waste Realm?¡± The Fiendish Cultivators discussed amongst themselves. ¡°Judging from the pressure just now, he¡¯s at least a Core Transformation senior.¡± ¡°I feel that this senior must know some secrets about the Endless Deste Domain.¡± ¡°But from his expression, he doesn¡¯t seem to be clear-headed.¡± Xu Lu analyzed. ¡°Not just not very clear-headed? His expression and demeanor made him look like a fool.¡± A few devil cultivators at the side ridiculed. ¡°In my opinion, he probably doesn¡¯t even know his own name.¡± Xu Lu was silent for a long time. She exchanged nces with Jiang Hong and decided to test the old man. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, simultaneously shot their flying swords at the old man. The two flying swords pierced the old man¡¯s body without any hindrance, but they could not hurt the old man at all. Instead, they made the old man stop. He nced at the two of them with his empty and dead eyes, then continued to walk north. While the Fiendish Cultivators were shocked and afraid, they could not help but look at each other. ¡°Sister Xu, what should we do now? We can¡¯t do anything to this old man.¡± Jiang Hong frowned. ¡°Leave two people to follow the old man. The rest will continue with our mission.¡± Xu Lu thought for a while and left the two devil cultivators to follow the old man. The rest of them continued to go deeper into the Waste Realm. Not long after the demonic cultivators left, Cheng Xu and the others also rushed over. The two Fiendish Cultivators who stayed behind were immediately scared silly. Without saying a word, they ran away. ¡°Tsk, you run quite fast.¡± Huyan Zan sneered and turned his gaze back to the old man. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, old man. We are all righteous cultivators of Mini South Heaven.¡± Unfortunately, the old man had no intention of responding to them. ¡°Senior?¡± Xue Lingyu tried calling out a few times, but she also received no response. Cheng Xu tried to use the system to investigate, and indeed, he could not find any information. At the same time, the demonic cultivators who had just left returned aggressively. ¡°It¡¯s you righteous geniuses again!¡± Xu Lu¡¯s expression stiffened. When she saw that Yue Wanling was not around, she sneered in her heart. The two groups of people stood on both sides of the old man and faced each other across the air. For the time being, they had no intention of making a move. Their attention was all on the old man. ¡°Sister Xu, look at Cheng Xu¡¯s head.¡± Jiang Hong reminded in a low voice. Xu Lu looked at Cheng Xu with a puzzled expression. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ The remaining Flesh and Blood Dao Origin?¡± ¡°It should be.¡± ¡°Strange, why would the Dao Origin of Flesh and Blood exist in this form?¡± Xu Lu was puzzled. Cheng Xu ignored Xu¡¯s attention and tried to throw a Qi word at the old man to see if he had any reaction. Unfortunately, the Qi word mantra had no effect on the old man. It could not even cause any fluctuation in his aura. It was as if his punch had hit the air. ¡°The old man doesn¡¯t seem to have any magic power.¡± Cheng Xu frowned. ¡°Not a trace of magic power?¡± Yan Changfeng secretly analyzed, ¡°Maybe he has been in the Waste Realm for too long and his Dharma power has been exhausted.¡± ¡°It should be.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly, then took out a few spirit stones and tried to throw them at the old man. This time, the old man finally responded. He casually caught the spirit stones and disyed an extremely thirsty state, instantly absorbing the spirit stones. The eyes of the people on both sides lit up. The demonic cultivators immediately took out spirit stones and attracted the old man like they were attracting small animals. Cheng Xu and the others also took out a pile of spirit stones, trying to attract the old man¡¯s attention. Buzz! A gentle pressure spread out, and the spirit stones in everyone¡¯s hands turned into powder. Arge amount of spiritual energy surged into the old man¡¯s body like a hurricane. The people on both sides were dumbfounded. ¡°This is the¡­¡± Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say. On the demonic path¡¯s side, seeing that the old man did not react, they turned their attention to the bloody Dao Origin above Cheng Xu¡¯s head. Then, he suddenly attacked Cheng Xu and the others. Cheng Xu and the others were already on guard and reacted immediately. They sneered and fought with the demonic cultivators. Looking at the mysterious old man again, such an intense chaotic battle had been treated as air by him. He was focused on walking north and did not even bother to look back. Although the demonic path had many people, their strength was uneven. Cheng Xu¡¯s True Qi Spell instantly caused the Fiendish Cultivators ¡®True Qi¡¯ to be restless and their strength to be limited. Following that, the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was unleashed. A stream of light shed and instantly killed a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. ¡°Huh?!¡± Just as Cheng Xu was about to look for his next target, he saw the dark red sticky liquid above his head suddenly fly to the corpse of the Devil Cultivator. In the blink of an eye, the corpse of the Devil Cultivator was wrapped in a dark red film. Then, under Cheng Xu¡¯s bewildered gaze, he absorbed the flesh and blood of the Fiendish Cultivator¡¯s corpse, leaving only a bare skeleton. After he was done, the little guy happily jumped back onto Cheng Xu¡¯s head, looking harmless. Cheng Xu could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He did not expect the little fellow to be so terrifying. If he waspletely wrapped up, wouldn¡¯t he go straight to the sky? ¡°Flesh and Blood Dao Origin can be used like this?¡± Xu Lu and the others also noticed the situation here, and their beautiful eyes were secretly shocked. ¡°Flesh and Blood Dao Origin?¡± Cheng Xu frowned and asked, ¡°What exactly is the source of Dao in your mouth?¡± Xu Lu smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. Her sword, which was surging with blood, directly attacked Cheng Xu. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what it is. What matters is that it belongs to me!¡± Cheng Xu immediately used the Cloud Sword Technique to block Xu Lu¡¯s attack. At the same time, the old man had unknowingly walked far away. After absorbing the Flesh and Blood Dao Origin, Xu Lu was extremely powerful. Ordinary methods could not kill her. Even if her arms and head were cut off, she could regrow them. Therefore, Cheng Xu had no choice but to use other methods of attack. Although this girl had a spiritual defense magic treasure to protect her body, Cheng Xu¡¯s CPU had been upgraded to level five, and the amount of Spiritual Will he had was no longer the same. Seeing that Xu Lu was attacking again, Cheng Xu swung his sword to block her attack. At the same time, his pitch-ck eyes appeared. ¡°Ridiculous, your Eye Bloodline Technique is useless against me!¡± Xu Lu sneered, and the Spiritual Will magic treasure between her eyebrows glowed. Bang! In the next second, the Spiritual Will Dharma treasure shattered. Xu Lu was dumbfounded on the spot and was once again stunned by the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. ¡°Sister Xu! Seeing this, Jiang Hong hurriedly came over to help, but he was forced back by Cheng Xu¡¯s Nine Layer me Wave. However, just as Cheng Xu was about to take down Xu Lu in one fell swoop, a terrifying pressure suddenly pressed down on him. Before Cheng Xu could react, an old man in ragged clothes had already appeared in front of him. His empty eyes stared straight into his eyes, and a trace of doubt and surprise appeared on his emotionless face. The sudden change made everyone stop fighting and look at Cheng Xu in surprise. ¡°Before. Before¡­ Senior?¡± Cheng Xu looked at the old man in front of him in horror, not knowing what the old man wanted to do. ¡°Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye?¡± The old man opened his mouth awkwardly as if he had not spoken for a long time.. Chapter 96 - 96: Let’s Turn Back First Chapter 96: Let¡¯s Turn Back First Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Seeing the old man finally speak, everyone was secretly surprised. Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes flickered as he tentatively replied, ¡°Senior knows the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye?¡± ¡°Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye¡­ Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye¡­¡± The old man murmured to himself, trying his best to recall something. In the end, he stopped because of a splitting headache. ¡°Little child, do you know who I am?¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. ¡°This¡­ How could 1 know who you are?¡± The old man fell silent again. Looking at the Demonic Path, Xu Lu had already woken up from the dizziness of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. Seeing that the old man recognized the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, her heart couldn¡¯t help but beat wildly. She immediately signaled for everyone to retreat together. It couldn¡¯t be helped. That old man obviously had some rtionship with the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. If he helped Cheng Xu and the otherster, they wouldn¡¯t even be enough to fill the gaps between the old man¡¯s teeth. Seeing that the Demon Dao people had retreated, Yan Changfeng and the others stared at the old man¡¯s every move vigntly, afraid that the old man would suddenly go crazy. ¡°Brother Cheng, are you alright?¡± Huyan Zan asked softly. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Cheng Xu heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°This senior shouldn¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Huyan Zan and the others gradually rxed. Seeing that the old man was silent and his eyes were empty, Cheng Xu could not help but ask softly, ¡°Since you know the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, what is the origin of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye?¡± The old man shook his head in confusion, and a ck light shed in his empty eyes. Cheng Xu was not stupid. He instantly realized that the old man also had the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, and it was very likely to be theplete Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. ¡°Could it be that you created the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye?¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes were shining. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t remember clearly.¡± The old man¡¯s eyes were dull, and his expression was that of a fool. At this moment, Yan Changfeng and the others came over curiously. ¡°Senior, did youe out from the depths of the Waste Realm?¡± The old man looked back at the depths of the Waste Realm and nodded silently. Hearing this, everyone gasped. ¡°When did youe to Deste Domain?¡± ¡°What¡¯s it like in the depths of Deste Domain?¡± ¡°How long did you walk before you came out?¡± They asked a bunch of questions, but the old man ignored them. ¡°I think the old senior has a powerful background. Why don¡¯t we bring him back and let the elders take a look?¡± Yan Changfeng suggested. Thus, they tried to invite the old man onto Huyan Zan¡¯s treasured ship. At this moment, the old man seemed to have sobered up a little. He no longer had any thoughts of heading north and quietly boarded the treasured ship. Just like that, they left the Endless Waste Domain with the old man uneasily. Along the way, they would ask the elderly a few questions from time to time. Unfortunately, the old man basically did not answer. He only muttered a few words from time to time, which made everyone confused. ¡°Who am I¡­ Southern Heavenly Gate¡­ Where exactly is the Dao technique¡­¡± Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other, obviously not understanding what he meant. However, he was sure that this old man¡¯s background and strength were not simple. It was only because he had stayed in the Waste Realm for too long that his magic power was exhausted, so there was no fluctuation of his aura. ¡°By the way, Senior, do you still remember where you used to cultivate?¡± Xue Lingyu asked in a low voice. ¡°I can¡¯t remember¡­¡± The old man¡¯s expression was dull as he muttered, ¡°I only remember that there are many people around me. However, the old me is the only one left now¡­¡± The few of them were confused and did not ask any further. As they spoke, the treasured ship happened to pass by the wreckage of the previous spaceship. Looking at the ¡°Iron Mountain¡± standing on the wastnd, everyone could not help but sigh again. The old man beside him seemed to have noticed the wreckage of the spaceship as well. He suddenly fell into an irritable state. Before they could ask what was going on, the old man jumped off the boat and stepped on the top of the Iron Mountain. Boom! With a deafening sound, the metal mountain below was ttened by the old man¡¯s foot. The terrifying scene made their scalps go numb. One had to know that the metal material used to destroy the spaceship was quite sturdy. Even Cheng Xu¡¯s +5 flying sword could not leave a mark on it. However, such a steel fortress like spaceship wreckage was actually ttened by the old man¡¯s foot? What was even more terrifying was that the old man did not even have any magic power now. He had done all of this purely by relying on his physical strength. How terrifying was that? ¡°My goodness, who exactly is Senior?¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s jaw almost dropped from shock. ¡°Such terrifying physical strength, even a body cultivator would find it difficult to achieve, right?¡± ¡°Strange, why is Senior so excited about that magic treasure Iron Mountain?¡± Liu Qiao was puzzled. ¡°Perhaps Senior once fought with that magic treasure Iron Mountain?¡± Cheng Xu pondered and guessed. In his opinion, only someone who had been f*cked by a spaceship would have such a violent reaction to the wreckage of the spaceship. ¡°You mean that Senior participated in that great battle?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Yan Changfeng was incredulous. ¡°That war was ten thousand years ago.¡± ¡°And that immortal corpse. If it¡¯s true, this iron mountain magic treasure should belong to an immortal. Could it be that the war back then was a war between immortals and cultivators?¡± At this point, even Yan Changfeng was rendered speechless by his own deduction. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s really possible. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be any records of that war.¡± Cheng Xu said meaningfully. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Everyone was puzzled. ¡°Because all the cultivators who participated in the war died.¡± Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp. Although this deduction was a little ridiculous, it was indeed logical. The only thing they could not understand was why the immortals would start a war with the cultivators of the lower realm? While the few of them were making their deductions, the old man had already flown back to the treasured ship and sat cross-legged in his original position, silently in a daze. ¡°What happened to Senior? Was there something wrong with the Iron Mountain? Why are you so irritable?¡± Cheng Xu asked curiously. The old man shook his head nkly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. 1 just feel inexplicably irritated when I see that thing.¡± Cheng Xu exchanged nces with them and continued to ask, ¡°Then have you heard of the great war 10,000 years ago?¡± ¡°Ten thousand years ago¡­ A great battle¡­¡± The old man muttered to himself for a long time, as if he was trying hard to remember something. ¡°Fine.¡± ¡°When we return, we¡¯ll see if the elders have anyway to help you recover your memory, Senior.¡± Yan Changfeng sighed. After that, they didn¡¯t question the old man anymore and brought him out of the Endless Waste Domain. The moment they left the Waste Realm, the Spiritual Qi enveloped their bodies again. Even though the surrounding Spiritual Qi was extremely thin, it was like a sweet spring to them. The old man¡¯s eyes trembled as he stood up and greedily absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Energy. ¡°I¡¯ll go! I¡¯ll go!¡± Cheng Xu and the others were shocked by the old man¡¯s absorption of Spiritual Energy. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The old man¡¯s absorption of Spiritual Energy was too terrifying. Rather than saying that he was absorbing, it was more like devouring. The old man¡¯s entire body was like a ck hole, crazily devouring the surrounding Spiritual Qi. The sound of air currents produced by the gathering of Spiritual Qi whistled. With the old man as the center, a Spiritual Qi vortex with a radius of 1,000 feet formed. ¡°Senior, let¡¯s smoke slowly. No one will snatch it from you.¡± Cheng Xu and the others didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. Unfortunately, the old man did not listen at all. He continued to devour Spiritual Energy as if he had never absorbed Spiritual Energy in his eight lifetimes. Seeing this, everyone let him go. As the group headed north, the surrounding Spiritual Energy became denser and denser. The old man¡¯s devouring of Spiritual Energy also gradually weakened. Perhaps it was because he had absorbed enough Spiritual Energy, but a faint light appeared in the old man¡¯s empty eyes.. He said coldly, ¡°Is this Mini Southern Heaven?¡± Chapter 97 - 97: The Second Level of the Ten Thousand Arts Chapter 97: The Second Level of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Hearing the name Little Nantian, everyone cast sidelong nces. ¡°Senior knows about Mini Southern Heaven?¡± Yan Changfeng was both surprised and delighted. ¡°Are you also a cultivator of our Little South Heaven, Senior?¡± The old man didn¡¯t say anything. He quietly looked down at the magnificent rivers and mountains. A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, as if he had recalled something. The treasured ship continued to fly, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy became denser and denser. Perhaps it was because he saw the familiar scenery, but the old man was a little excited. He looked at Cheng Xu and said, ¡°Little friend, keep it well!¡± The old man¡¯s eyes turned ck as he raised his hand and stabbed a ray of light into Cheng Xu¡¯s forehead. Yan Changfeng and the others were shocked, thinking that the old man was going to harm Cheng Xu. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Senior doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions!¡± Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised and gestured for everyone not to panic. Because just now, the system had detected the instation package for the secondyer of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. Cheng Xu was naturally overjoyed. ¡°Thankyou, Senior!¡± Cheng Xu took a deep breath and thanked the old man solemnly. The old man smiled indifferently and flew up from the treasured ship. ¡°I remembered something important, so I won¡¯t trouble you.¡± After saying that, he did not care about everyone¡¯s reaction. His figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace. Only Cheng Xu and the others were left on the treasured ship, looking at each other. He had thought that bringing the old man back would perhaps solve many mysteries. He did not expect the old man to leave in a hurry as soon as he arrived in Mini Southern Heaven. ¡°Alright, I can only go back empty-handed.¡± Huyan Zan couldn¡¯t help butin. ¡°It can¡¯t be considered empty handed. After all, we took so many metal parts. Especially Brother Cheng,¡± Liu Qiao said with a smile. ¡°You even picked up a magical little fellow.¡± Speaking of the little guy, everyone¡¯s eyes gathered on Cheng Xu¡¯s head. They had also seen the scene of the little fellow devouring the flesh and blood of the Fiendish Cultivator, and they still had lingering fear in their hearts. ¡°I feel that this little fellow isn¡¯t simple. Brother Cheng, you should be careful.¡± Xue Lingyu reminded. Cheng Xu nodded and couldn¡¯t help but take the mucus worm off his head and observe it carefully. Judging from its performance along the way, the little fellow was clearly alive. However, its life form was indeed a little strange, and there was no aura of life on its body. ¡°Right, Junior Brother Cheng, what did Senior teach you?¡± Yan Changfeng asked curiously. ¡°The second level of my Eye Bloodline Technique.¡± Yan Changfeng nodded slightly. ¡°It seems that Junior Brother¡¯s eye technique is indeed rted to the old senior. 1 wonder who that old senior is?¡± ¡°He¡¯s already gone. What¡¯s the point of dwelling on this?¡± Huyan Zan curled his lips and said. The few of them sighed silently and did not say anything else. After parting ways with Yan Changfeng and the others, Cheng Xu went straight back to the Medicine Celestial Valley. After a few days of not seeing each other, the Medicine Celestial Valley was obviously much more lively than before. After asking, he learned that the entire Righteous Path alliance was now officially in operation. All the sects epted the mission, and the Medicine Celestial Valley was no exception. Disciples of the sect could ept demon-ying missions of different levels in the Merit Hall. The merit points they obtained could be exchanged for various cultivation resources, and the rewards were very generous. Ever since Cheng Xu had made a name for himself, the disciples of the Medicine Celestial Valley were no longer immersed in refining medicine. They had teamed up with each other to eliminate demons and train, and theirbat strength had increased significantly. The entire Medicine Celestial Valley¡¯s atmosphere was renewed. After returning to the sect, Cheng Xu first went to Perfected Chi Yao¡¯s cave abode to greet his master. ¡°Cheng Xu, you¡¯re back?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren was still perfecting his Medicine Mantra. When he saw Cheng Xu return, he was filled with joy. ¡°How is it? Did you get anything from this trip to the Endless Deste Domain?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve gained quite a lot.¡± Cheng Xu chuckled as he took out the spaceship parts he had collected. ¡°Master, do you know what kind of material these metals are made of?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren picked up the spaceship¡¯s parts and examined them, clicking his tongue in wonder. Seeing that Chi Yao Zhenren had never seen these metal materials before, Cheng Xu took the little guy out again. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s also this.¡± ¡°This is¡­?¡± Daoist Chi Yao was confused. Cheng Xu briefly exined the whole story. ¡°Flesh and Blood Dao Origin?¡± Perfected Chi Yao frowned secretly. ¡°During this period of time, the various sects have investigated a lot of information about the Dao Origin, but they still can¡¯t figure out what it is.¡± ¡°ording to that fairy, this Dao Origin is very likely an item from the Immortal World.¡± ¡°An item from the Immortal World?¡± Chi Yao Zhenren couldn¡¯t help but be interested. ¡°How about this? Can you leave some for me to study?¡± Cheng Xu tried to chat with the little guy, but he didn¡¯t expect the little guy to really understand. It squirmed for a while and separated a fingernail-sized mucus block from its body, throwing it to Daoist Chi Yao. ¡°This is shocking. This sticky thing actually have intelligence?¡± Perfected Chi Yao was even more surprised. He immediately held the sticky liquid and studied it carefully. Meanwhile, Cheng Xu brought the little fellow back to his cave abode. Inside the cave. Cheng Xu ced a pile of small spaceship parts and robot limbs in front of him, feeling emotional. ¡°Spaceship? Immortals? Immortal World?¡± ¡°Could it be that the immortal world has already entered a special technological civilization?¡± But if that was the case, why was the lower realm still in the primitive era of cultivation? And what was the background of that mysterious old man? He tried to activate the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, and his eyes turned into deep ck holes. After installing the secondyer of the technique, his ability to absorb Spiritual Energy from the void had obviously improved a lot. However, this was not the main point. The main point was the secondyer effect of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye. His gaze turned to the corner of the cave abode and focused slightly. In the next second, Cheng Xu appeared out of thin air in the corner of the cave abode. ¡°As expected of an immortal technique. It¡¯s indeed powerful!¡± That¡¯s right, the effect of the secondyer of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye was teleportation. As long as it was within his sight, he could easily teleport there. However, it consumed a lot of mental power. The further the distance, the greater the consumption. ¡°Tsk tsk, if the second level already has such an effect, then wouldn¡¯t the third and fourth levels be heaven-defying?¡± Unfortunately, the old man had only taught him the second level. He shifted his gaze and teleported back to his original position, starting to study those broken robot limbs. ¡°Alright, I was thinking too much.¡± He had just dismantled a robot arm when he was rendered speechless by the intricate internal structure. With his current capabilities, he was clearly unable to understand this intricate structure. Helplessly, he could only give up. He put away the robot parts and tried to use the small parts of the spaceship to refine a flying sword. Although his +5 flying sword was already enough, who would refuse a better flying sword? ¡°The materials of theseponents should be the same. After the refinement is sessful, and with the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique to strengthen them, their power will definitely be awesome!¡± After a few busy days. A flying sword made from the materials of a flying ship was sessfully produced. Although its design was slightly outdated, its performance was absolutely impable. ¡°There are still quite a few materials for the spaceship.¡± Then, he used the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique to strengthen the flying sword. He injected spirit seven times in one go and used up the remaining materials of the flying ship. ¡°Tsk, tsk. Ordinary magic treasures probably won¡¯t be able to withstand this sword, right?¡± Cheng Xu yed with the flying sword in his hand in satisfaction. As the first flying sword he personally refined, how could it not have a resounding name? However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a suitable name. Beside him, the little guy, who looked like a slug, quickly adapted to the environment of the cave abode. At this moment, he was rolling around in the cave abode like a rolling ball. ¡°Hiss, this little fellow seems to be missing a name.¡± Thinking of this, Cheng Xu¡¯s head hurt even more. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll just call you Little Red.¡± Hence, the little fellow¡¯s name was casually decided.. Chapter 98 - 98: News Chapter 98 - 98: News Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The little fellow was not picky and obediently epted this tacky name. However, Cheng Xu started to feel troubled about naming the flying sword. ¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I heard that you¡¯re back.¡± Miao Changsheng¡¯s loud voice came from outside the cave. Cheng Xu silently put away his flying sword and stood up to wee him. ¡°Eh? Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Jian are back too?¡± He thought that Miao Changsheng was the only one here. He did not expect Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang to be here as well. ¡°Judging from your expressions, you must have gotten a good harvest, right?¡± ¡°Not bad, not bad. 1 only killed two Early-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.¡± Miao Changsheng showed off to Cheng Xu, ¡°Senior Martial Brother Tang and Senior Martial Sister Jian are the real formidable ones. They have already made a name for themselves among the demonic cultivators. Many demonic cultivators run away as fast as rabbits when they see them.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t listen to Junior Brother Miao¡¯s nonsense,¡± Tang Xuan said modestly. ¡°Junior Sister Jian and 1 just got rid of the demons not long ago.¡± ¡°I heard that Junior Brother went to the Endless Deste Domain with Yan Changfeng and the others? Did you find any useful information?¡± asked Jian Yuxiang curiously. Cheng Xu invited them to take a seat and then roughly told them about their experience. Knowing that they had met an old man who had walked out from the depths of Waste Realm, the three of them couldn¡¯t help but look at each other. ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡± Cheng Xu saw that the three people¡¯s reactions were a little strange and could not help but be a little puzzled. ¡°This¡­ You might not believe it,¡± Miao Changsheng said with a strange expression. ¡°Two days ago, when we were exterminating demons in a demonic stronghold on Ho Mountain, we also encountered a mysterious old man. The moment that old man appeared, he turned the demonic stronghold on Ho Mountain upside down as if he was looking for something.¡± Cheng Xu was stunned. ¡°No way. What a coincidence?¡± ¡°At first, we thought it was some powerful senior wandering cultivator. Now it seems that it¡¯s probably the old man you encountered.¡± Jian Yuxiang was secretly surprised. ¡°That old man¡¯s clothes are ragged, but hisbat strength is amazing. The hundreds of demonic cultivators of Ho Mountain are like chickens and dogs in front of him.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t he look too smart?¡± ¡°Uh, he doesn¡¯t look very clear-headed.¡± ¡°Alright, then it should be a person. It looks like that old man is really a cultivator from our Little South Heaven.¡± Cheng Xu said in surprise. ¡°At that time, there were also teams from other sects present. After the old man left, the entrance to an ancient ruin was revealed in Hu Lao Mountain. We rushed back in order to report the situation back to the sect.¡± Tang Xuan said. ¡°Ho Mountain? Ancient Ruins Entrance?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly surprised. At least in the misceneous knowledge he had, there was no special record of Ho Mountain. ¡°It¡¯s a very sinister ancient ruin. Next, all the sects will probably organize people to go in and investigate. When the timees, Junior Brother will follow us in to take a look.¡± Cheng Xu nodded slightly, faintly looking forward to it. As they spoke, Little Red rolled out from the corner and passed by them. ¡°D*mn, what is this?¡± Miao Changsheng looked at Xiao Hong in shock. Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang were also shocked. ¡°This is the little guy I picked up from the Endless Deste Domain. I named it Little Red.¡± Cheng Xu introduced with a smile. The three of them couldn¡¯t help but surround him and observe him carefully. ¡°What a strange little thing. It¡¯s clearly a living thing, but it doesn¡¯t have any life energy fluctuations.¡± Jian Yuxiang¡¯s eyes shed with curiosity and love. The few of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries before leaving. A momentter, Jian Yuxiang returned. ¡°Senior Sister, is there anything else?¡± Cheng Xu was puzzled. Jian Yuxiang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. The Chamber of Commerce took Junior Brother¡¯s Array Disk to the Great Southern Wastndst month, and the response was very good. The caravan just came back from the Great Southern Wastnd these two days, and they also brought back a batch of Array Disk orders. 1 wonder if Junior Brother is interested in taking this order?¡± ¡°An order from the Great Southern Wastnd? How much?¡± Cheng Xu was secretly surprised. ¡°loo sets, each set has 70,000 spirit stones.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes could not help but be filled with light. Good heavens, this was a huge order worth seven million! ¡°When will the goods be delivered?¡± ¡°The caravan to the Great Southern Wastnd will set off at the end of the month, so there¡¯s no hurry.¡± ¡°Alright, i¡¯ll hand the goods over to Senior Sister.¡± Jian Yuxiang smiled and nodded. Then, she said hesitantly, ¡°There¡¯s something else I don¡¯t know if 1 should tell you or not.¡± ¡°Why are you so conflicted?¡± Cheng Xu was puzzled. ¡°Recently, the n has heard some news and has already begun to secretly prepare to withdraw from Mini Southern Heaven. I¡¯ve mentioned it to Master and Sect Master, but they didn¡¯t seem to take it to heart,¡± Jian Yuxiang said worriedly. Hearing this, Cheng Xu¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but beat wildly. ¡°What do you mean? Could it be that there¡¯s really a demonic army attacking?¡± ¡°It should be. Moreover, the scale of the demonic army far exceeds our imagination.¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Cheng Xu inhaled a breath of cold air. ¡°Senior Sister, do you mean that you want to leave with the family?¡± ¡°This is also what I¡¯m most conflicted about.¡± Jian Yuxiang sighed softly. ¡°In my heart, I naturally want to live and die with the sect, but I can¡¯t give up my family.¡± Cheng Xu was silent for a long time.¡± ¡°Half a year at most.¡± ¡°So fast?¡± Cheng Xu was shocked and had to start nning for the future. ¡°Thank you for telling me, Senior Sister.¡± After sending Jian Yuxiang off, Cheng Xu¡¯s mood was unprecedentedly solemn. After hesitating for a while, he decided to talk to Chi Yao Zhenren. However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that Chi Yao Zhenren seemed to have heard the news about the arrival of the demonic army. ¡°This matter is no longer a secret to the higher-ups of the various sects. The reason why 1 didn¡¯t tell you was mainly to avoid unnecessary panic.¡± ¡°Then what ns do the various sects have?¡± Cheng Xu frowned and asked. ¡°The sects are basically nning on two things now. If possible, they want to protect the foundation left behind by the ancestor as much as possible.¡± Perfected Chi Yao had aplicated expression. ¡°Can you hold on?¡± ¡°It¡¯s still possible.¡± Chi Yao Zhenren smiled. ¡°The Demonic Path has mobilized such arge force this time. It¡¯s obvious that they¡¯re not here for the barrennd of Mini Southern Heaven. Therefore, there¡¯s definitely room for maneuver. At most, it¡¯ll be like the other cultivation ces, forming a situation where the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path stand side by side.¡± Cheng Xu pondered and nodded. The analysis of the upper echelons of each sect was not without reason. ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, 1 can only abandon the mountain gate and go north to find the ancestor¡¯s orthodoxy.¡± ¡°Ancestral Patriarch¡¯s teachings?¡± Cheng Xu was shocked, ¡°(Our Medicine Celestial Valley has other orthodoxies in other cultivation ces?)¡± ¡°ording to the information left behind by the founder, there is indeed one. However, we don¡¯t know if the orthodoxy is still around. And it¡¯s not just our Medicine Celestial Valley,¡± Perfected Chi Yao said. ¡°The other four sects also have ancestral orthodoxies in the Central Region. The Mystic Arts Sect and the Shenluo Hall even have intermittent connections with their orthodoxies.¡± Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder. Good heavens, so these few major sects like Mini Southern Heaven all had backgrounds! After learning that the Medicine Celestial Valley still had such a path of retreat, Cheng Xu¡¯s worries eased a lot. ¡°Strange, why did the Devil Dao mobilize so many people toe to Mini Southern Heaven?¡± ¡°This is also the focus of the various sects investigations at this stage. The only clue we have now is the great war ten thousand years ago,¡± Chi Yao Zhenren said with a frown. ¡°But there are very few records about that war. We can¡¯t find any clues at all.¡± Cheng Xu nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. After returning to the cave, he began to prepare to head to the ancient ruins on Ho Mountain. If that old man had really participated in the great war ten thousand years ago, then the ancient ruins of Ho Mountain were very likely to be rted to the great war ten thousand years ago.. Chapter 99 - 99: Underground City of Traps Chapter 99 - 99: Underground City of Traps Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The next day, Sect Master Immortal Dan Yang really began to gather people to go to Ho Mountain. As the strongest disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley, Cheng Xu was naturally among them. ¡°The situation is too sudden.¡± After a few simple words of mobilization, Perfected Dan Yang personally led the team and set off. ¡°I¡¯ve just received news that the various Devil Dao sects have already sent arge number of cultivators to Ho Mountain. We must not let the Devil Dao beat us to it.¡± The treasure ship slowly rose into the air and set sail, carrying the elites of the younger generation of the Medicine Celestial Valley. ¡°Why? The entrance to the ancient ruins isn¡¯t upied? You can even let the Devil Dao in?¡± Cheng Xu was puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s useless to upy it,¡± Immortal Dan Yang exined. ¡°That mysterious old man seemed to have taken something from the ruins, causing the ruins to be extremely unstable. If a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage enters, it will easily cause the entire ruins to copse. Therefore, in order to prevent the Demonic Path from secretly plotting, we can only explore together with the Demonic Path.¡± Cheng Xu nodded. ¡°Oh right, Sect Master Martial Uncle, did the various sects find any useful information about Ho Mountain?¡± Perfected Dan Yang sighed and shook his head. ¡°Ho Mountain is just a very ordinary mountain, and there are no Spirit Veins in the mountain. I just didn¡¯t expect that there would be an ancient ruin hidden in Ho Mountain.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t find any useful records?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°In the various sources, the records regarding Ho Mountain are basically just a passing remark.¡± ¡°Then in your opinion, what will be in the ruins of Ho Mountain?¡± ¡°As for the specifics, you will only know when you enter.¡± Ho Mountain was not very far from the Medicine Celestial Valley. About half a dayter, the treasured ship sessfully arrived in the sky above Ho Mountain. The teams from the other four sects also arrived one after another. It was worth mentioning that the demonic team led by the Blood Demon Sect Master had already taken their positions long ago. They stood on both sides of Ho Mountain with the righteous team, secretly confronting each other. The leader of the Righteous Path alliance was naturally Fu Yunzi. ¡°Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi, is everyone here?¡± The Blood Demon Cult Master impatiently urged, ¡°Once everyone is here, hurry up and send someone in to investigate. This old man can feel that the secret of the great battle ten thousand years ago is hidden in these ruins.¡± Fu Yunzi nced down at the entrance of the ruins and remained silent. He could clearly feel that the bronze fragment in his hand had some kind of connection with this ruin. Thinking about it carefully, the feeling that the ruins in front of him gave him was indeed somewhat simr to the ruins he had explored back then. ¡°Little Uncle-Master, do you have anything to say?¡± Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in a low voice. Fu Yunzi nodded his head and then reminded everyone with his spiritual sense, ¡°There¡¯s a high chance that this ruin is simr to the ruin that 1 explored back then, so it¡¯s very likely that another bronze fragment is hidden. After you enter, prioritize searching for that fragment.¡± After learning that the second bronze fragment was likely to be hidden in the ruins, the various sects were shocked. ¡°May 1 ask where Senior Fu Yunzi¡¯s ruins were?¡± Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, asked with a frown. ¡°Endless Deste Domain.¡± Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others were shocked again. They did not expect Fu Yunzi to have been to the Endless Deste Domain back then. ¡°Hiss¡­ No wonder the Devil Dao wants to send people to the Endless Deste Domain.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The Mystic Arts Sect¡¯s Sect Master nodded secretly. ¡°By the way, Senior, what is the exact scene inside the ruins? Is there anything that 1 need to pay attention to?¡± ¡°The interior of the ruins is connected in all directions, and most of them are magic treasures and mechanisms. The only things worth paying attention to are those strange golems,¡± said Fu Yunzi. Hearing the words golem, Cheng Xu¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but beat wildly. The mechanical puppet that Fu Yunzi was talking about was probably not a robot! ¡°This is the internal structure of the ruins from back then. Although it might not be suitable for this ruin, it can be used as a reference.¡± Fu Yunzi transcribed a dozen jade slips on the spot and handed them to the team leaders. Naturally, Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others formed a new generation of Milky Way Battleships. Just like that, after Fu Yunzi briefly negotiated with the Blood Demon Cult Master, he began to arrange for the teams to enter the ruins in turn. The fiends seemed to be more anxious than them. The group of people jumped in majestically without the slightest hesitation. Inparison, the Righteous Path teams were much calmer. The small teams entered in an orderly manner. Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and a few others flew to the top of the entrance. They looked at the spatial barrier at the crack in the mountain below and jumped in after exchanging a nce. The moment his body entered the space, the surrounding space began to twist rapidly. When his vision became clear again, he was already in an underground pce made of steel and full of steampunk style. As far as the eye could see, the underground pce was filled with dense metal pipes. Giant gears were deeply embedded in the metal walls. From time to time, one could hear the sound of mechanical failures. ¡°Oh my, so it¡¯s an underground city of traps?¡± Huyan Zan clicked his tongue in wonder. Not far away, the Demonic Path teams had already spread out and started to explore separately. The team led by Demoness Xu Lu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they looked at Cheng Xu and the others with interest. ¡°Are you interested ining along?¡± ¡°No thanks.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just rely on our own abilities.¡± Liu Qiao sneered disdainfully. ¡°Fellow Daoist Liu really doesn¡¯t know how to appreciate romance!¡± Xu Lu smiled charmingly and led Jiang Hong and the others deeper into the underground pce. After some discussion, the Righteous Path teams also began to move separately. Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others naturally took the lead and entered the core area of the underground pce. Needless to say, the map Fu Yunzi gave them really came in handy. Although some ces were different from the map, they were generally the same. ¡°Let¡¯s find that bronze fragment first.¡± Yan Changfeng led the way while checking the map in the jade slip. ¡°We should be at the top of the city. We need to find the passage to the lower level first.¡± The few of them followed behind Yan Changfeng silently, constantly on guard against any movements around them. As refiners, Cheng Xu and Huyan Zan were very interested in the mechanical structure of the Mechanical City. Along the way, he could vaguely make a rough judgment. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this entire City of Traps is probably one.¡± Huyan Zan analyzed the structure of the pipes and gears while paying attention to them. ¡°But what was the purpose of building such an underground city?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Changfeng suddenly stopped in his tracks. ¡°Be careful!¡± The underground pce in front seemed to have sensed that an outsider had intruded. The gears on the wall began to rotate rapidly, and the entire passageway rumbled. Soon, cannon barrels protruded out from the walls on both sides and aimed at everyone. Although Yan Changfeng and the others had never seen a gun before, they could sense the danger emanating from the barrel. They hurriedly activated all kinds of defensive skills and magical equipment. ¡°Watch me!¡± Liu Qiao took out his Array Disk and formed threeyers of Defensive Array to protect everyone. At the same time, the energy in the cannons had already been condensed and shot out energy beams. Bang! The power of the beam cannonball was average, and it couldn¡¯t even break through Liu Qiao¡¯s defensive array, so it naturally couldn¡¯t hurt anyone. Furthermore, after firing two shots, the cannons began to misfire. ¡°Has the energy been exhausted?¡± Xue Lingyu guessed. ¡°It should be.¡± Cheng Xu nodded and analyzed. ¡°This Mechanical City has been in disrepair for a long time. It¡¯s already not easy for many of the defensive devices to be usable.¡± Even so, for safety reasons, Cheng Xu still took out his +7 New Flying Sword. There was no doubt about the power of the new flying sword. With a few shes, it destroyed more than ten cannon barrels. Huyan Zan could tell at a nce that the flying sword was extraordinary. ¡°Brother Cheng, this flying sword was refined from the parts of that giant magic treasure, right?¡± ¡°What, you didn¡¯t use that material to forge a flying sword?¡± Chapter 100 - 100: Powerful Battle Puppet Chapter 100: Powerful Battle Puppet Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion Huyan Zan smiled awkwardly. ¡°The elders have just started to study those metals and haven¡¯t had the time to try refining them.¡± Cheng Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry as he shook his head. He could only say that the people from the other sects were too cautious. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to directly refine them into flying swords and Dharma treasures? What was there to dawdle about? After taking care of the cannons on both sides, the few of them continued to go deeper into the tunnel ahead. A momentter, he stopped in front of a rusty metal door. ¡°ording to the description on the map, this iron door should be the passage to the lower level.¡± Yan Changfeng looked around, trying to find the mechanism to open the iron door. Liu Qiao leaned forward to take a look and said confidently, ¡°It¡¯s a very simple structure. Let me try.¡± Liu Qiao sent his divine sense into the iron door, and after some operation, the sound of mechanical structures operating quickly came from inside the iron door. After a series of ear-piercing creaks, the iron door in front of him slowly opened. What appeared in front of everyone was a narrow metal room. ¡°Uh, isn¡¯t it the way to the lower level? Where¡¯s the road?¡± Huyan Zan and the others were confused. Cheng Xu, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face. Good heavens, wasn¡¯t this an elevator? Of course, this elevator was definitely not powered by electricity. ¡°It looks like an elevator. I just don¡¯t know if it can still be used normally.¡± Cheng Xu pretended to observe for a while and motioned for everyone to go in together. There was no floor button in the elevator. Not long after they entered, it began to descend automatically. ¡°This mechanism is quite interesting.¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s face was full of curiosity. After the elevator descended for a moment, it slowly stopped, and the iron door blocking the front slowly opened. After walking out of the elevator, he was already on the lower floor of the underground pce. Compared to the previous floor, the metal structure of this floor was much more beautiful. All kinds of pipes and gears were basically hidden inside the wall. asionally, the exposed parts gave people a different kind of beauty. ¡°There are no traces of human activity in such a huge underground city of traps?¡± Xue Lingyu frowned, ¡°I don¡¯t feel normal.¡± ¡°It is indeed strange.¡± Liu Qiao agreed. ¡°Maybe it was abandoned for some reason?¡± Cheng Xu guessed. ¡°But 1 still don¡¯t understand what such a huge underground pce is used for.¡± Huyan Zan was still thinking about the use of the underground pce. The group continued deeper into the cave until a spacious room appeared beside them. From the furnishings of the room, it looked like a workshop. All kinds of tools and metal parts were scattered on the ground, and there were messy blueprints piled on the table. ¡°It seems to be a blueprint for some kind of metal puppet?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that this method of forging is very different from the current method of forging puppets.¡± Yan Changfeng and the others picked up a few blueprints and looked at them. Cheng Xu saw the [ Read] option in the pile of blueprints. After quietly reading the blueprint information, the entire production process of this ¡®Metal Puppet¡¯ quickly appeared in his mind. Judging from the production process, it was more like a standardized, mass-produced battle puppet. The overall production process was more inclined to the refining of magical equipment and puppets, which was obviously different from the broken limbs of the robots in the spaceship. The robots in the spaceship were high-tech products. The battle puppets in front of him were essentially mass-produced magical equipment puppets. They could barely be considered a product of cultivation and industry. They definitely had nothing to do with science and technology. ¡°With materials of this level, even if it was made, it would probably only be at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point of the ancient cultivators mass-producing this thing?¡± Huyan Zan analyzed. At this moment, Cheng Xu noticed a strange painting on the wall. It was clearly an ink-wash painting, but the content of the painting was a miniature image of arge spaceship. Yan Changfeng and the others might not be able to see what was on the painting, but Cheng Xu could tell at a nce. ¡°What is this?¡± Huyan Zan walked forward doubtfully. ¡°Southern Heavenly Gate A-2 ¨C 3? Is that the name of this thing?¡± ¡°Southern Heavenly Gate again?¡± Yan Changfeng frowned. ¡°I remember that mysterious senior mentioned the Southern Heavenly Gate, right?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, does the Southern Heavenly Gate have any special meaning?¡± Everyone looked at each other in confusion. ¡°It feels like a ce name. After all, our Little Southern Heaven is located in the southernmost part of the cultivation world.¡± Xue Lingyu guessed. ¡°Is there such a ce in our Little Southern Heaven?¡± Huyan Zan was puzzled. ¡°Never heard of it.¡± Liu Qiao shook his head. As he spoke, the entire underground pce suddenly began to tremble violently. Itsted for a long time before it gradually calmed down. Cheng Xu and the others were scared out of their wits. They thought that the underground pce was going to copse in advance. ¡°The other teams must have triggered some kind of mechanism,¡± Yan Changfeng frowned and analyzed. ¡°We should hurry up and find that bronze fragment first.¡± After leaving the blueprint workshop, the few of them continued to go deep into the underground pce. After finding a few elevators, they gradually entered the core area of the underground pce. The passage in the core area of the underground pce was much wider. Along the way, many parts of the battle puppets could be seen. ¡°Be careful. There seems to be arge formation embedded in the core area.¡± Liu Qiao was very sensitive to formations. ¡°Although I only found some scattered formations, theirplexity isparable to the Shenluo Great Formation of our Shenluo Hall.¡± ¡°On par with the Shenluo Great Array?¡± Huyan Zan was shocked beyond words. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as simple as the fourth stage.¡± Liu Qiao said solemnly. ¡°Could it be a Tier 5 Grand Array?¡± Everyone was shocked. After all, Tier 5 Grand arrays were no joke. The Shenluo Great Array of the Shenluo Hall was only a Tier 4 array formation. A Tier 5 array formation was already unheard of to them. Boom! Boom! The faint sounds of battleing from afar woke everyone up. The few of them extended their divine senses to check. They saw that in the underground pce passageway not far away, a group of demon cultivators was fighting with three battle puppets. A group of Foundation Establishment Realm devil cultivators were actually forced back by the three battle puppets, unable to resist at all. ¡°D*mn, is that puppet that powerful?¡± Huyan Zan secretly eximed, ¡°Looking at that posture, he probably has thebat strength of a Peak Foundation Building cultivator!¡± ¡°Go around them.¡± The few of them naturally did not care about the lives of the demonic cultivators. They immediately took a detour from other passages and continued to go deeper. They thought that they could avoid fighting those battle puppets, but it turned out that they were overthinking. In the core area of the underground pce, there were battle puppets wandering around like patrolling guards. They had not gone far when they were blocked by a three-meter-tall metal giant. Boom! The moment the metal giant saw them, it was as if it had seen its prey. It took heavy yet vigorous steps and rushed towards them. The faint light in its eyes condensed and shot out two golden beams. Seeing this, Huyan Zan hurriedly took out a Defensive Magic Treasure. Liu Qiao also immediately set up twoyers of defensive formations. Boom! The Magic Treasure Lightyer and the Formation Lightyer were instantly destroyed by the beam of light. The terrifying impact sent Huyan Zan flying. He grunted and crashed into the metal wall behind him. ¡°Good fellow, so fierce!¡± Huyan Zan stood up in shock, reminding everyone to be careful. At the same time, the metal giant threw a punch at Yan Changfeng and Cheng Xu. Fortunately, the two of them reacted quickly enough. One on the left and one on the right, they dodged and used sword techniques to counterattack. Although Yan Changfeng¡¯s sword technique was exquisite, his flying sword could not hurt the metal giant¡¯s armor at all. On the other hand, Cheng Xu relied on his +7 New Flying Sword to sessfully cut off a part of the metal giant¡¯s arm. However, what happened next left them bbergasted. A ball of dark golden sticky liquid quickly flowed out of the metal giant¡¯s broken arm and quickly solidified to grow a brand new metal arm. ¡°What?!¡± Huyan Zan¡¯s eyes were filled with fear.. ¡°Is this still a f*cking puppet?¡± Chapter 101 - 101: Moving Maze Chapter 101: Moving Maze Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion The scene before their eyes had already exceeded the scope of everyone¡¯s understanding, even beyond the scope of science and metaphysics. After the metal mechanical structure was damaged, it could actually grow back like flesh and blood. It was really unbelievable. Cheng Xu was also shocked. He retrieved the production process of the battle puppet in his mind, but there was no relevant information. ¡°No, the problem isn¡¯t with the puppet itself, but with the Energy Core.¡± After a simpleparison, Cheng Xu quickly found the problem. In the puppet blueprint that he had read previously, there was only information about the overall structure of the puppet. The only thing missing was the information about the Energy Core. To put it bluntly, the battle puppet itself was just an empty shell. The real core technology was actually that special Energy Core. Boom! After the metal giant¡¯s arm recovered, it immediately swung its iron fist at Cheng Xu. Even though Cheng Xu had managed to use his Fire Magnificent Robe and his Protective Upstanding Qi in time, he was still sent flying by the terrifying force. ¡°Brother Cheng, are you alright?¡± As Xue Lingyu cried out in rm, thousands of talismans turned into shackles that bound the metal giant in ce, rendering it immobile. ¡°Watch me!¡± Liu Qiao¡¯s Array Disk spun rapidly, and the array needles quickly adjusted themselves. Soon, he had set up a [Metal Devouring Array] around him. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it can withstand this Metal Devouring Array!¡± As a Tier 3 array formation, the Metal Devouring Array specialized in countering metal attributes. The metal giant¡¯s metal surface rapidly began to decay under thebined effects of the talisman and the Metal Devouring Array. Yan Changfeng seized the opportunity and shed out with his Tiangang Determination, easily cutting a hole in the metal giant¡¯s chest. ¡°Hahaha, Brother Liu, well done!¡± Huyan Zanughed heartily, ¡°To deal with this thing, 1 have to use Brother Liu¡¯s Metal Devouring Formation.¡± However, their attacks were still unable to harm the metal giant¡¯s foundation. The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He could not be killed at all. On the other hand, the magic power of Cheng Xu and the others was constantly being consumed. ¡°This can¡¯t go on. We have to think of a way to get rid of it.¡± Liu Qiao grimaced. ¡°We can try to attack his core.¡± Cheng Xu pondered and looked at Yan Changfeng. ¡°Its core is in the center of its back. Brother Yan, please break the armor on its back. I¡¯ll attack its core.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Yan Changfeng nodded in understanding. Then, under the cover of Huyan Zan and the other two, he took the opportunity to go behind the metal giant. With a sword technique, he sessfully cut open the armor on the back of the metal giant. Cheng Xu¡¯s +7 flying sword followed closely behind and shot out with all his might, hitting the exposed core of the metal giant¡¯s back. Bang! The sound of a light bulb shattering rang out, and dark golden mucus sttered everywhere. The metal giant¡¯s Energy Core exploded with a bang, and arge amount of dark golden mucus flowed out. The metal giant, which was still aggressive a second ago, instantly extinguished and copsed on the spot. ¡°Phew¡­ We finally defeated this puppet!¡± Huyan Zanchang heaved a sigh of relief and couldn¡¯t help but step forward to take a closer look. ¡°Speaking of which, is this puppet activated by this mucus?¡± ¡°Obviously.¡± Xue Lingyu bent down to examine the dark golden mucus. ¡°This mucus should be the same as the red mucus in the immortal corpse. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t understand where this mucuses from and what specific use it has.¡± Yan Changfeng turned to look at Cheng Xu. Cheng Xu nodded slightly and immediately released Little Red from his storage bag. As soon as Little Red came out, it immediately noticed the dark golden mucus. It flew up with a whoosh, but a momentter, it returned to Cheng Xu¡¯s head with a disappointed expression. It was obvious that Little Red was not interested in the dark golden sticky liquid. ¡°The devil cultivators seem to recognize this thing. Should we capture a devil cultivator and ask?¡± Huyan Zan suggested. ¡°Yes, but ordinary devil cultivators might not know much.¡± Yan Changfeng pondered and analyzed, ¡°If possible, it would be best to capture that demoness and ask her.¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, they collected the dark golden mucus that flowed out. Everyone got some and prepared to bring it back for the sect to study. After that, they continued to head deeper into the core area. Not long after, a few familiar figures shed past the corner in front of them. It was the demonic team led by the demoness Xu Lu. Their eyes lit up and they immediately chased after her. However, when they reached the corner, they realized that Xu Lu and the others had already disappeared. ¡°Strange, where is she?¡± Liu Qiao was puzzled, ¡°Even her aura has disappeared, where can she hide?¡± Cheng Xu tried to open the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye and pricked up his ears, but he also couldn¡¯t find any traces of Xu Lu and the others. In his confusion, the entire underground city of traps began to shake violently again. ¡°Why is it shaking again?¡± Huyan Zan said worriedly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t feel right, everyone!¡± ¡°No!¡± Liu Qiao seemed to have discovered something and suddenly became startled. ¡°What is it, Brother Liu?¡± Everyone looked at him in confusion. ¡°We seem to have been to this ce before¡­¡± Liu Qiao looked around in bewilderment, his expression gradually bing serious. ¡°The formation hidden in the surroundings is indeed working. I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re already trapped in the formation.¡± Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp. ¡°It seems like we have been here.¡± Huyan Zan confirmed in surprise. ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± Yan Changfeng took out the map in the jade chip andpared it with the map. ¡°We are not going around in circles. The structure of the entire underground pce is changing.¡± For a moment, everyone fell silent. ¡°It¡¯s over. The problem is whether we can get out or not.¡± Huyan Zan cried, ¡°Brother Liu, do you have the ability to break this array?¡± ¡°What do you think of the Tier 5 Grand Array?¡± Liu Qiao shook his head with a bitter smile. Helplessly, everyone could only brace themselves and continue exploring. In the subsequent exploration process, the entire city of mechanisms shook more and more frequently. After each shake, the structure and path of the city of mechanisms would change, just like a constantly changing mechanical maze. After a few changes, the map provided by Fu Yunzi had basically lost its use as a reference. During this time, they encountered two more battle puppets. Fortunately, they were experienced enough to easily destroy the two battle puppets Energy Cores with their cooperation. Rumble¡­ The underground pce began to shake again. A momentter, a mechanical staircase leading to the lower level appeared in front of everyone. The two forks on both sides had been blocked, leaving only this staircase leading to the lower level. ¡°Why do 1 feel like someone is secretly manipting the entire underground pce?¡± ¡°They obviously want us to go down.¡± Liu Qiao frowned. ¡°We¡¯ll deal with whateveres our way. I want to see who¡¯s ying tricks!¡± Huyan Zan grunted and walked down the stairs. Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and followed him. As they walked down the stairs, the space in front of them was much more spacious than before. If the previous floors of the underground pce were like some kind of factory, then the floor in front of him was more like a strangeboratory. The air was filled with a strange smell of decay. The walls on both sides of the passage were covered in Scarlet Flesh and Blood. Perhaps it had sensed the presence of its own kind, Little Red on Cheng Xu¡¯s head showed an inexplicable excitement. Hiss¡­ A strange rustling sound rang out in their ears, causing them to tense up. In the next second, a scream came from the depths of theboratory, shocking everyone.. Chapter 102 - 102: Biological Modification? Chapter 102 - 102: Biological Modification? Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion ¡°Over there!¡± Cheng Xu relied on the powerful auditory perception brought by the sound card to instantly determine the location of the scream. Because they were worried that the other righteous squads were in danger, they immediately rushed over without thinking. Theboratory passage that was filled with flesh and blood looked like a monster¡¯s nest, giving people an ufortable feeling. A momentter, the few of them sessfully arrived at the area where the screams came from. The tragic scene in front of them was shocking. Seven to eight orthodox disciples and more than ten demonic disciples were lying on the ground in a mess. They had died tragically. At a nce, there was not even aplete corpse. Moreover, every corpse seemed to be infected with a virus, covered in disgusting tumors. ¡°This, this¡­¡± Huyan Zan swallowed his saliva with difficulty and rushed to a corpse. He looked extremely sad. ¡°Junior Brother Fang! How could this be? Who was it?¡± Yan Changfeng and the others quickly identified the corpses of their fellow disciples. Their hearts were heavy. Cheng Xu also found two corpses with the identity cards of the Medicine Celestial Valley. His face was extremely gloomy. Hiss¡­ The rustling sound came again. Cheng Xu and the others instantly became alert. ¡°What are you? Come out and fight if you have the guts!¡± Huyan Zan gritted his teeth and looked around. In the next second, a roar came from the tunnel beside him. Immediately after, a ck streak of light rushed out at an astonishing speed, its ferocious and terrifying mouth pouncing straight at Liu Qiao. Fortunately, Liu Qiao reacted quickly enough to block the monster¡¯s bite with his Defensive Magic Treasure. Yan Changfeng¡¯s sword technique also came to support him at the first moment and sessfully repelled the monster. At the same time, everyone finally saw the appearance of the monster. It was a terrifying scarlet monster with tumor-like lumps all over its body. Its limbs had sharp ws that were as sharp as sickles. It looked like a predatory four-legged demon beast, but overall, it looked more like a stitched monster made of various demon beast parts. ¡°Demonic beast?¡± Xue Lingyu frowned. ¡°But there¡¯s no aura of a demon core in its body!¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a monster that was cultivated by some evil means.¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. ¡°Judging from the power of that attack just now, it was at least at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.¡± Liu Qiao warned solemnly. While a few of them were examining the monster, the monster was also examining them, as if it was looking for an opportunity to attack. Cheng Xu frowned. Combined with the underground pce that looked like aboratory, it was not difficult to deduce that the monster in front of him was probably a product of some kind of biological modification technology. He had thought that the puppet robots were ridiculous enough, but he did not expect that they would evene up with biotechnology. Above his head, Little Red seemed to be very interested in the monster. At the same time, the monster seemed to have noticed Little Red on Cheng Xu¡¯s head. Its distorted eyes revealed a fierce light, as if it had seen a delicious prey. Roar! In the next second, the deformed monster suddenly pounced on Cheng Xu and bit him. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent. Cheng Xu opened his Fire Magnificent Robe and held the +7 New Flying Sword. He raised his hand and used the fifth level of the Cloud Sword Technique. Puff! The de of the sword swept across the monster¡¯s head, instantly cutting off half of its head. It turned out that this monster was not so easy to kill. The half of its head that had been cut off emitted a familiar dark red mucus, and it grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye. ¡°What the hell is this!¡± Huyan Zan cursed under his breath. He opened his Fiery Sun Divine Body, and a giant ming shadow appeared behind him. He punched him and sent him flying. Xue Lingyu followed closely behind and released a string of talismans to imprison him in ce. Swoosh! Yan Changfeng¡¯s sword light shed past and split the sword in half. Even so, the monster did not die. The two halves of its body grew strands of dark red mucus, and in the blink of an eye, they were glued together again. Then, it opened its mouth and pounced at Cheng Xu again. ¡°Poison!¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s lips moved slightly, and he tried to throw a spell of poison over. Unfortunately, the poison attack had no effect on the monster. Helpless, he could only use the Red and White mes to meet it. The Red and White mes engulfed it, emitting waves of sizzling sounds of roasted meat. It finally had some effect. Seeing this, everyone cast fire spells to bombard them. The deformed monster roared in pain and turned to escape into the depths of the tunnel. Unfortunately, it did not run far before it crashed into ayer of array light. ¡°Trying to run?¡± Liu Qiao sneered and controlled the formation to shrink. Raging mes instantly filled the formation and incinerated it. While the monster was being burned, dark red mucus kept flowing out of its body to repair its body. The few of them saw everything and were secretly speechless. ¡°Damn it, can¡¯t this burn him to death?¡± Huyan Zan kept injecting the Scorching Sun Primordial Fire into the array, but he was still unable to burn the monster to death. Seeing this, Yan Changfeng shed out a few sword auras, cutting the monsters in the fire array into more than ten pieces and burning them up. The deformed monster that had been cut into more than ten pieces was soon put back together. However, its originally scarlet ¡®fresh¡¯ body had been burnt ck, and its aura was weaker than before. ¡°Looks like the recovery ability brought by the Flesh and Blood Dao Origin isn¡¯t unlimited.¡± Yan Changfeng analyzed. At the same time, Little Red on Cheng Xu¡¯s head was also eager to try. Without waiting for Cheng Xu to speak, Little Red flew into the fire array with a whoosh. Its slug-like body expanded rapidly like a balloon, enveloping the deformed monster. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Liu Qiao hurriedly controlled the fire array to shut down to avoid hurting Little Red. Little Red, who was wrapped around the monster, disyed terrifying strength. It began to shrink continuously, emitting the sound of the formation of needles, bones twisting and shattering. In just a moment, the monster¡¯s huge body had shrunk to the size of a calf, and it was still shrinking. In the end, everyone watched in horror. Little Red gradually shrank to the size of a hat, turning into a bulging dark red ball. Puff! After devouring the entire monster, Little Red¡¯s body split open and spat out a pile of ck residue as if it was pooping. After it was done, it jumped back onto Cheng Xu¡¯s head in satisfaction and continued to y the role of Little Red Riding Hood. ¡°Such a huge monster is gone just like that?¡± Huyan Zan looked at Little Red on Cheng Xu¡¯s head in disbelief. ¡°Eh?¡± Xue Lingyu quickly noticed the change in Little Red. ¡°The little guy seems to have some life.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Cheng Xu was slightly shocked and quickly touched Little Red, who was on top of his head, to check. He wouldn¡¯t know if he didn¡¯t look, but he was shocked when he saw it. The originally lifeless Little Red actually revealed a trace of life after devouring the deformed monster. Most importantly, the [Read] option appeared above Little Red¡¯s head. Cheng Xu didn¡¯t even think and decisively read it. The reading process was very fast and easy. In the blink of an eye, Little Red¡¯s data panel appeared in front of him: [Dao Origin: Life Form] [Level: Level 1] [Growth Stage: Young] [Talent: Devour (Able to absorb a portion of Dao source matter to perfect and strengthen oneself)] Good heavens, was it really a must-have divine pet for transmigrators? It was just that his ¡°divine pet¡± was a little different. He was not unfamiliar with the concept of Dao Origin. During this period of time, he hade into contact with it quite a bit. Moreover, there was a ck Dao Origin in his body. But what the hell was a (Dao Origin Lifeform)? A special life form born from the Dao Origin? This¡­ Was it reasonable? ¡°I have a premonition that after this little fellow grows up, his battle prowess will definitely be extraordinary.¡± Liu Qiao analyzed seriously. Huyan Zan rolled his eyes.. ¡°Just the ability to devour that monster is already very strong, okay?¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
