Chapter 296: Chapter 271: Extraordinary Treasures of Heaven and Earth, Innate Purple Qi_1
The three groups form three points, standing at three different locations as if forming a triangle, and facing each other off.
"Sect Leader, how about we join forces, eliminate the Beast Demon, and then split the treasures equally," Huang Xuan proposed via message to the Lord Xueshen.
Lord Xueshen seemed to ponder upon this suggestion, his gaze flickering slightly.
Although the Beast Demon didn’t hear their conversation, he sensed something and his face changed. Meanwhile, his demonic qi surged, indicating his readiness to retreat at any moment.
At this moment, all people’s gazes turned towards the entrance.
Over there, a swoosh sound could be heard followed by a flash of light, and a figure appeared.
It was an old woman, her head full of silver hair, her skin shriveled and full of wrinkles like ditches. She was hunchbacked and leaning on a dragon-headed cane.
"Mother-in-law Wandu from Jinzhou," Huang Xuan’s voice was slightly hoarse.
Another terrifying old monster had arrived, one whose cultivation had undergone the fifth transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Jinzhou was located to the north of Xuan Zhou and the two places were adjacent.","He seemed astounded at the appearance of another formidable character.
Jinzhou was respected because of the Fang Family’s feudal lordship.
The Fang Family were infamous for their skills with poison, they ruled over Jinzhou and their strength even surpassed the Shengxuan Sect.
Mother-in-law Wandu was the strongest member of the Fang Family.
Lord Xueshen looked somewhat serious upon seeing this.
On the other hand, the Beast Demon was pleased. He said, "Mother-in-law Wandu, Huang Xuan and Lord Xueshen are planning to kill me and take my treasure. After eliminating me, you will be their next target. How about we join forces?"
"Okay!" Mother-in-law Wandu nodded.
For a moment, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense.
It was Huang Xuan who broke the silence first, he said, "This is only the fifth cave, the treasures useful to us are limited. There must be better treasures ahead, especially in the seventh cave. How about we compete based on our abilities then?"
"I agree with Huang Sect Master’s proposal," Lord Xueshen chuckled a few times.
Both the Beast Demon and Mother-in-law Wandu had no objections.
They quickly removed all the treasures from the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, and even destroyed the defensive Wish Patterns.
Given their cultivation levels, these defensive Wish Pattern could only obstruct them momentarily.
After all things were gathered together, the four sides divided them equally.
They then set off for the sixth passage.
The Wish Pattern of the sixth passage was even stronger. If it was Huang Ming and Lixiuyu, it would take them several months to break through. But the power levels of Huang Xuan, Lord Xueshen, the Beast Demon, and Mother-in-law Wandu were on another level compared to Huang Ming’s.
With the four of them joining hands, they were able to erase the Wish Pattern completely within just ten days. They then proceeded to the sixth cave.
The puppet Immortal Beast protecting the sixth cave was also defeated by them.
At this moment, Lord Xueshen suddenly ran his hand through the air, and a figure soared rapidly in his direction. He gripped the figure in his hand.
This was a Ture Body Fifth Refinement martial artist. His face was pale, he hollered, "Senior, spare my life."
"A mere True Body Realm cultivator dares to covet the treasures here. You are courting death," he said coldly.
With a shake of his hand, the Ture Body Fifth Refinement martial artist exploded into a cloud of blood. Lord Xueshen opened his mouth and inhaled, the blood cloud transforming into streams of blood that entered his mouth.
Both the Beast Demon and Mother-in-law Wandu looked serious.
In the crowd, they feared Lord Xueshen the most.
A martial spirit, when it exerted its power, could significantly enhance one’s fighting strength, and it had a tenacious vitality, making it extremely difficult to handle.
"Your methods are impressive, but the treasures here need to include my share," a voice came from the outside followed by a figure who flashed and entered.
"Zuo Daoxuan," the eyes of Lord Xueshen, Huang Xuan and the others flickered.
It was notable that Lord Xueshen and Huang Xuan had previously joined hands with Zuo Daoxuan to besiege King Ming.
This was due to the fact that he was a Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect and was also a Fifth Transformer of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
"Brother Zuo’s arrival naturally entitles you to a share," Huang Xuan smiled.
The Shengxuan Sect currently needed the power of the Tianque Sect to contain the Mansion of King Ming, so naturally, he sided with Zuo Daoxuan.
When faced with a peer, the others could not voice any objection. They could only quickly divide the spoils and then proceed to the seventh layer.
Soon, the treasures of the sixth cave were divided into five portions. After splitting them evenly, they headed towards the seventh cave.
The Wish Pattern leading to the seventh cave was unbelievably strong.
Even the five top experts working together couldn’t break it immediately, which made them sigh at the terrifying reserves of the Dagu Dynasty. Even at its end, the power it controlled was beyond imagination, and far beyond any current feudal prince.
...
Mingzhou.
Upon returning to Mingzhou, Lu Yan did not immediately return to the Mansion of King Ming. Instead, he found a secluded place with Shen Yinuo to tally their loot and then destroyed some of the protective Wish Patterns on some of the boxes.
After stepping into the True Body Realm, his inner strength had transformed into True Vigor, which greatly boosted his power and made it easier to destroy those protective Wish Patterns.
Many of the Wish Patterns that had previously taken ten days to half a month to erase now only needed around an hour.
"This is..." Lu Yan was a little stunned while looking at the small box containing pieces of jet-black crystals. He didn’t recognize them.
"Those are Soul Crystals, which strong cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm can use to enhance their soul strength. They are invaluable," Shen Yinuo explained.
Lu Yan immediately put them away.
Needless to say, a tiny box of Soul Crystals was worth more than all the third-level and fourth-level Martial Pills combined.
Lu Yan had five small boxes of such Soul Crystals.
The value of these crystals was difficult to estimate.
Finally, Lu Yan took out two jade vials.
On both jade vials, there were protective wish patterns. Lu Yan urged his True Vigor to erase the wish patterns on them.
It took half a day to erase the wish patterns on them.
When Lu Yan opened the bottle cap, a purple glow surged out immediately, covering an area of dozens of meters inside the purple glow.
"Close it quickly."
Shen Yinuo quickly urged.
Lu Yan promptly put the lid back on.
"What’s inside this bottle? Yinuo, do you recognize this?"
Lu Yan asked.
"If I’m not mistaken, this is innate purple Qi, a rare treasure in the world."
Shen Yinuo said.
"What is its purpose?"
Lu Yan asked.
"The practice of the True Body Realm concentrates on solidifying the True Body. Each successful practice results in a transformation of the True Body and True Vigor, making them stronger."
"Normally, Martial Cultivators can continuously ingest Martial Food or Martial Pills to accumulate energy for the True Body. Once the energy is accumulated to a certain extent, they can solidify the True Body. Successful ones will take a step forward."
"But there’s another shortcut, which is refining rare treasures of heaven and earth, to promote the transformation of the True Body, and innate purple Qi is one of those treasures that can promote the transformation of the True Body."
Shen Yinuo explained.
"Can it be used directly without accumulation?"
Lu Yan asked.
"No need. The True Body Stage itself is quite unique and there is no early, middle, or late phase. As long as the True Body can be solidified, and transformed, the cultivation level advances a big step."
"A kind of rare treasure from heaven and earth, is equivalent to a large number of Martial Foods and Martial Pills."
Shen Yinuo said.
"So, if there is a large amount of rare treasures of heaven and earth, wouldn’t it be possible to break all barriers in a row and quickly reach the Ture Body Seventh Refinement?"
Lu Yan said.
"Indeed. It is said that during the heyday of the Da Chu Dynasty, or the Dagu Dynasty, there were top steles in the royal family who could cultivate from Ture Body First Refinement to Ture Body Seventh Refinement in one year, and they had a solid foundation and no hidden dangers."
"The True Body Realm itself is a transition stage for the physical body toward the soul."
Shen Yinuo explained.
Lu Yan clicked his tongue secretly, with a burning heart.
"Let’s see what’s in the second Jade Vial."
Lu Yan said, took out the second Jade Vial, teamed up with Yinuo to erase the protective wish pattern on it, succeeded, opened the bottle cap, and the purple glow filled the air.
The second thread of Innate Purple Qi.
"Yinuo, let’s each take one of the two threads of Innate Purple Qi to refine and increase our cultivation level."
Lu Yan handed a jade vial to Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo did not act coy and took the Jade Vial.
Then, Lu Yan summoned two avatars to protect them on both sides.
Lu Yan held a vial, opened the lid, his True Vigor flowed into the vial like a thin line, pulling out the Innate Purple Qi.
A purple substance solid as a substance, like a little purple snake, moving around in the air.
Lu Yan controlled it with his True Vigor, then opened his mouth and sucked the Innate Purple Qi into it.
As soon as the Innate Purple Qi entered his mouth, it turned into a cloud of purple mist and spread throughout his body.
Lu Yen began to cultivate the Cold Magic Palm immediately, dismissing it palm by palm, to refine the Innate Purple Qi.
After going through the Cold Magic Palm once, he then used the Jiu Jie Knife, then the Four-pole Divine Sword, Void Steps, Tian Gang Red Dragon Body...
All kinds of top martial arts were displayed by him one by one.
Once he had gone through them all, he started all over again.
As he constantly circulated his powers, the Innate Purple Qi in his body was constantly refined, turning into a profound and powerful energy that permeated his whole body.
His body was undergoing rapid transformations.
Shen Yinuo was even simpler, directly refining the Innate Purple Qi in the Great Sun Melting Furnace, which was faster than Lu Yan.
This process lasted a day and a night.
There was a layer of black sticky fluid on the surface of Lu Yan’s skin. When he looked at Shen Yinuo, he found that she had disappeared.
"She probably went to wash somewhere. I remember there’s a stream nearby."
Lu Yan leapt lightly, landed as light as a swallow, and with his more robust True Vigor flowing under his feet, he came to the nearby stream in no time.
He saw Shen Yinuo, like a white mermaid, swimming in the river.
With a splash, Lu Yan jumped into the river and swam toward Shen Yinuo.
"Lu Yan, you shameless ..."
Shen Yinuo shouted in a sweet voice, hitting Lu Yan with a palm and sending him flying a hundred meters.
"Haven’t you seen it all before?"
Lu Yan was quite speechless, cleaned himself up, found a set of clean clothes from the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag and put them on, but saw that Shen Yinuo had already put on a white short skirt. She walked on empty feet, her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descended to the mortal world.
Lu Yan’s heart stirred, saying, "Yinuo, come on, let’s cultivate with the Yin Yang Melting Furnace Method, refine the Martial Pills, and strive to enter the Ture Body Third Refinement as soon as possible."
Shen Yinuo’s pretty face turned slightly red. She knew what Lu Yan was up to and said, "In the treasure trove of the Dagu Dynasty, there might also be rare treasures of heaven and earth like Innate Purple Qi. Don’t you want to get it?"
"Now, I’m afraid the experts from all sides are gathering, and the Primordial Spirit stage experts are competing. If we go there with our strength, isn’t it suicide?"
Lu Yan said.
"The treasure of the Dagu Dynasty is not a trifling matter, and it must have attracted not only those in the Primordial Spirit Realm, but also a large number of people in the True Body Realm. Even if there are those in the Master Level who wish to take advantage of the situation, it is not impossible."
"We don’t currently have Bloodkill in our bodies. If we disguise ourselves and sneak in, the Shengxuan Sect will never find out."
Shen Yinuo said.
