Chapter 55
"Peak of the intermediate Houtian stage. Not bad, not bad."
Surrounded by Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao, Ning Yue showed no fear. Instead, he smiled and said, "I already know everything that happened in Flower Scattering House. Today is the perfect opportunity to settle the score."
"What Flower Scattering House! Hugh is babbling nonsense here. " Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao's eyes flashed fiercely as they attacked together. Two fists flew towards Ning Yue's head.
Swish! Swish!
As he watched Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao approach, Ning Yue's eyes narrowed. His body flashed strangely as two palms filled with violent Yuan Energy suddenly thrust forward.
Chi chi!
Wherever the fist passed, even the air would emit a low explosive sound.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm, first form, Dust Severing!"
Crack! Crack crack crack …
As Ning Yue's voice fell, an extremely overbearing power erupted in an instant, wreaking havoc on Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao's fists.
"Puchi!"
The pain from their fists caused Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao to spit out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies swayed in the wind before they flew backwards with a loud bang and landed heavily on the ground.
"Little bastard, why are you so powerful?"
With an angry roar, Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao stood up while enduring the pain from their fists. Their faces were extremely dark.
"What a cheap mouth. Didn't your parents teach you to be more respectful?" With a vicious glint in his eyes, Ning Yue stomped his right foot on the ground and his body shot forward. Yuan Energy gathered in his palms as he slashed at Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao's minds!
Although he couldn't kill the two of them today, he could still teach them a lesson and destroy their sea of consciousness.
"When it is possible to forgive, forgive and forget."
Just as Ning Yue's palms were about to land on Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao, a calm voice rang out beside his ear. Soon after, a fist flew through the air and collided with his palms.
Bang!
After the blow, Ning Yue took several steps back.
"Peak early Xiantian stage."
Looking at Wu Long standing in front of him, Ning Yue's expression changed slightly, but that was all.
That was because the peak of the initial Xiantian realm wasn't enough to make him worry.
"Why don't you give me some face today and let the two of them go?" Wu Long said indifferently with a carefree look on his face.
"Who are you?" Ning Yue did not continue to attack and asked.
"Humph! Young Master Long is a genius from Danwu College, and he's very powerful. You'll have to bear the consequences if you offend him. "
Before Wu Long could speak, Zhao Xuan rushed to say, "I advise you to be obedient. Otherwise, even the Ning family will be implicated."
"The geniuses of Danwu Academy, huh …" Ning Yue frowned as he slowly said, "I'm afraid that I can't do it today. I have a grudge with the two of them, and I have to settle it today."
Whoosh!
Wu Long's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect that after Ning Yue knew his identity, he still didn't give him face.
"What if I insist on protecting the two of them today?" Suppressing the rage in his heart, Wu Long asked.
"You're their bodyguard? Personal bodyguard? " Ning Yue was a little surprised. Logically speaking, a genius from Danwu College shouldn't be so protective of Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuan.
"You're courting death!"
Wu Long felt that he was being humiliated and immediately attacked. His fist carried a powerful gust of wind as it blasted toward Ning Yue.
"Hehe, the two of you, this is the Premium Pavilion. Isn't it a little inexcusable for you to attack here?" Suddenly, Nie Hua walked down from the second floor with a smile on his face.
Seeing Nie Hua come out, Wu Long's fist that had just blasted out instantly stopped. He was somewhat shocked.
This was because he couldn't see through Nie Hua's strength.
"Old fart, of all times to come out, you just had to come out at this time!" A malicious look flashed across Zhao Xuan's face. In his view, Nie Hua was completely siding with Ning Yue. Otherwise, why didn't Nie Hua come out to stop them when they were fighting?
Now that Wu Long had just made a move, Nie Hua had come out to stop him. This made them very unhappy.
"The two of you, if there's anything, sit down and talk about it slowly. It's better to make enemies than to resolve them." Nie Hua quietly smiled at Ning Yue and said, "Why don't you give me some face today and stop?"
In fact, Nie Hua had already been watching from the second floor. When Ning Yue fought with Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuan, he naturally wouldn't come out to stop them because he knew that Ning Yue's strength far exceeded the two of them.
After all, Ning Yue was a distinguished guest of the Premium Pavilion. Spending three hundred high-grade essence crystals, he had to be partial.
Wu Long's cultivation was at the early stage of the Xiantian realm. In Nie Hua's view, Ning Yue was no match for him at all.
Him coming out to stop them not only protected the dignity of the Premium Pavilion, but also sold Ning Yue a favor. It was just right.
"I don't care." Ning Yue knew what Nie Hua was thinking. He shrugged and didn't point it out.
Wu Long's face was a little gloomy. The Premium Pavilion was powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
But he had already been infuriated by Ning Yue. No matter what, he had to teach Ning Yue a lesson today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in his heart.
Wu Long rolled his eyes and said to Ning Yue, "I want to challenge you to a life-and-death battle!"
Hua!
Wu Long's words immediately caused a big wave in the Premium Pavilion.
"The genius of Danwu College wants to challenge Ning Yue? I didn't hear wrong, did I? "
"You didn't hear wrong. There's a rumor that Ning Yue has already set a life-and-death battle with Zhang Wenyong. How did he offend the genius of Danwu College now?"
"Even if he can defeat Zhang Wenyong, I don't think he has the ability to have a life-and-death battle with the genius from Danwu College, right?"
"Your news is outdated. Zhang Wenyong advanced to the Xiantian realm as early as yesterday, and he advanced to the peak of the early stage of the Xiantian realm in one fell swoop! I heard that an expert from the Zhang Family personally came to the capital to help Zhang Wenyong advance to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm in one week! "
"Does that mean that Zhang Wenyong's strength far exceeds Wu Long's?"
The surrounding discussions made Wu Long's face even more gloomy. He hadn't expected that Ning Yue would be so arrogant.
Although he was ranked around eight hundred in the outer court of Danwu College, he didn't dare to offend Zhang Wenyong. After all, Zhang Wenyong's brother was ranked in the top fifty in the outer court of Danwu College.
"Sigh, I've realized that recently, so many people like to have life-and-death battles." Ning Yue swayed his wrist and gently stroked the Qingyun Sword.
"Qingyun Sword!"
Seeing the flying sword in Ning Yue's hand, Wu Long had a look of sudden realization and said, "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. It turns out that you have Yunqiang's support. He even lent you the Qingyun Sword."
"I'm arrogant?" Pointing at himself, Ning Yue was a little speechless. He hadn't agreed to the life-and-death battle yet, so how did it become arrogant?
This Wu Long is too arrogant. I just didn't give him face, and it became arrogant. It's simply unreasonable.
Although Ning Yue wasn't afraid of Wu Long, there was no need for him to have a life-and-death battle with him. He was pressed for time and didn't have time to waste here.
There were only five days left until the date of the duel with Zhang Wenyong. He wanted to use these five days to improve his cultivation and strive to promote his strength to the peak of the late stage of the Houtian realm.
"I'm not interested in a life-and-death battle with you." Shaking his head, Ning Yue walked straight out of the Best Grade Pavilion.
Looking at Ning Yue's departing figure, Wu Long clenched his fists.
Xiu!
Chapter 56
"Watch out!"
In the Best Grade Pavilion, Nie Hua did not expect Wu Long to suddenly attack. Coupled with Wu Long's extremely fast speed, it was too late for him to stop him, so he could only warn him.
"Ning Yue, to think you would have such a day." Zhao Xuan's eyes were extremely vicious, as if he could see Ning Yue's miserable state when he was hit. A sinister look appeared on his face.
"Wu Long will definitely be able to cripple him." Wang Tao was also very excited. As long as Wu Long crippled Ning Yue, they would be able to bully him unscrupulously.
"You're courting death!"
Although Wu Long's attack was extremely fast, and it was a sneak attack, Ning Yue's super strong soul perception was already aware of it the moment he made his move, so he did not panic in the slightest.
With a ruthless expression, the Yuan Qi in the two cyclones surged wildly and all of it flowed into the palm of his right hand.
With a turn of his body, he punched back at Wu Long's fist.
Kacha!
Ning Yue used almost all of his strength in this palm, without the slightest bit of holding back.
The Yuan Qi in the two cyclones wreaked havoc on Wu Long's fist. The huge force of the Yuan Qi caused Wu Long's expression to change. His body was pushed back several feet, and he fell into the Best Grade Pavilion!
Swish!
At this moment, the scene instantly quieted down. Everyone's eyes were wide open as they looked at Wu Long who had fallen to the ground. The shock was plain for all to see.
It must be known that Wu Long's cultivation was at the early Xiantian stage, while Ning Yue was only at the Houtian stage. There was a huge difference in strength between the two. How could Ning Yue defeat Wu Long in one move?
Rumble!
After a moment, the entire Best Grade Pavilion was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about it.
"Did I see that right? Ning Yue defeated the genius from Danwu College in one move? "
"That's right. Ning Yue's palm just now was extremely fast. I only saw a shadow flash by, and then Wu Long was defeated."
"He defeated Wu Long in one move. How strong is Ning Yue?"
"So, he's actually this powerful!" In the Supreme Grade Pavilion, Nie Hua's eyes narrowed, and he was extremely shocked.
Originally, he was worried that Ning Yue would be injured, but now it seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary.
Being able to defeat the early Xiantian realm Wu Long in one move, Ning Yue's strength was probably close to the middle Xiantian realm.
"This is impossible!" Wang Tao and Zhao Xuan's jaws dropped as if they had swallowed an egg. The sudden change caught them off guard.
Originally, they thought that Ning Yue would be defeated. Who would have thought that in the end, it was Wu Long, the genius of Danwu College, who was defeated.
"Ahem."
Wu Long coughed twice and stood up with difficulty. He stared fiercely at Ning Yue and said in a cold voice, "What kind of Martial Skill was that? Why was it so powerful!"
Wu Long didn't expect that his sneak attack with 80% of his strength would be defeated by Ning Yue.
According to his judgment, even if he attacked with all his strength, he might not be able to block Ning Yue's move just now.
"It seems that there's no need to tell you, right?" Ning Yue shrugged and said lightly.
"Ning Yue, you're very strong. I admit that I underestimated you, but don't be complacent. Next time, you won't be so lucky to defeat me!" Wu Long said.
"If I can defeat you once, I can naturally defeat you twice and thrice." In response to Wu Long's threat, Ning Yue said noncommittally.
After giving Ning Yue a fierce look, Wu Long turned and left.
Looking at Wu Long's back, Ning Yue raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of being a genius of Danwu College. He could adapt to circumstances.
Failure was not terrible. What was terrible was not being able to recognize one's current situation.
A genius like Wu Long was destined to have much higher achievements than Yun Qiang in the future.
"You two, I don't think we've settled our debts yet?" Seeing that Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao were about to leave silently, Ning Yue's body flashed and blocked their way, saying: "Now is the time to settle the matter of Scattered Flower House."
"Young Master Ning, Eldest Young Master Ning, the matter of Scattered Flower House has nothing to do with us." Zhao Xuan instantly collapsed to the ground and even stuttered when he spoke.
Ning Yue could defeat Wu Long in one move. Wasn't it just a matter of half a move to kill them?
"Yes yes yes, it was all Lin Feng's orders. How would we dare to do anything to you." Wang Tao hurriedly added: "The Poisoned Blood Powder was also purchased by Lin Feng. At that time, his cultivation was far higher than ours. We had no choice but to follow him."
Wang Tao was stalling for time. Just now, he had already used a secret technique to communicate with the experts of his clan. In his opinion, as long as he could stall for time until the experts of his clan arrived, Ning Yue would definitely not be able to gain any advantage.
What he needed to do now was to stall for time.
"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you." How could Ning Yue not know what Wang Tao and Zhao Xuan were thinking? He rolled his eyes and walked in front of them, patting their shoulders: "You can leave now."
"You're letting us leave just like that?" Wang Tao was somewhat dumbfounded and asked in confusion.
"I don't want to say the same thing twice. If you don't want to die, leave now!" Ning Yue said in a low voice with a cold expression.
Hearing this, Wang Tao and Zhao Xuan hurriedly ran out of the Premium Grade Pavilion.
Outside the Premium Grade Pavilion, Zhao Xuan's face was cold as he said viciously: "Brother Zhao, Ning Yue is so powerful, we must inform the experts of our clan immediately!"
Wang Tao also displayed his ruthless side: "I have just used a secret technique to communicate with the experts of my clan. Now, let's go to Scattered Flower House and discuss how to get rid of Ning Yue."
"Indeed, we must get rid of him." Nodding his head, Zhao Xuan said: "I will also inform the experts of today's events."
"Let's go!" Exchanging glances, Wang Tao and Zhao Xuan left immediately.
At the same time, in the Premium Grade Pavilion, Nie Hua said: "Young Master Ning, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
Waving his hand, Ning Yue said: "Compared to Shopkeeper Nie, I am not even a little bit inferior."
Nie Hua said: "Young Master Ning is too humble. You are not even twenty yet, right? This talent is already very high. I wonder if you are interested in becoming a guest of the Premium Grade Pavilion? "
Seeing the potential Ning Yue displayed, Nie Hua wanted to recruit him.
"Shopkeeper Nie, how can I become a guest of the Premium Grade Pavilion?" After pondering for a while, Ning Yue shook his head and refused.
Now that he had many secrets on him, and with the addition of the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art, becoming a guest of the Premium Grade Pavilion was somewhat inconvenient.
"That's a pity." Nie Hua did not urge him to stay, but said: "Why don't you leave from the back door? Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao suffered a loss today, they will definitely not let this go."
"If that's the case, thank you, Shopkeeper Nie." After thinking for a while, Ning Yue did not refuse this time.
Although his strength was strong enough to defeat an early Innate Expert, the Zhao Family and the Wangs were able to become one of the four major families in Tianxuan City.
Once the two families found out about the great potential he had displayed today, they would definitely surround and kill him at all costs.
After leaving the Premium Grade Pavilion from the back door, Ning Yue dressed up and walked towards the Snow Domain Pavilion.
Chapter 57
Recently, the news of the opening of the Elixir Dragon Valley had spread far and wide. Genius martial artists from the surrounding cities had swarmed into Profound Sky City, causing the city to become unusually lively.
When venturing into the Elixir Dragon Valley, elixirs were essential. As the largest herb store in the Heaven Mystic City and even the Great Xia Kingdom, the Snow Region Pavilion's business was naturally booming.
Just as he entered the Snow Domain Pavilion, a manservant greeted him with a smile, "Sir, are you here to buy herbs or pills?"
With a flick of his wrist, Ning Yue took out the Three Star Consecration Token and said, "I'm looking for your boss, Elder Mo."
"Greetings, my lord!"
Seeing the Three Star Token in Ning Yue's hand, the manservant said respectfully and carefully, "Elder Mo is entertaining an important guest. Please wait a moment, I'll go call him."
"It's so convenient to do things with it." After keeping the Three Star Token, Ning Yue did not choose to wait patiently. Instead, he found a pen and paper and wrote down the medicinal herbs he needed.
In one of the rooms of the Snow Domain Pavilion, several people were talking.
"Miss Lu, the main reason I'm here is to enter the Pill Dragon Valley with you," Wu Yong said as he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Young Master Wu, with your strength, I'm afraid that many people will want to form an alliance with you," Lu Wei said with a slight frown.
Old Mo said, "Young Master Wu, if I'm not wrong, your cultivation has already reached the peak of the early-stage Connate realm. It won't be long before you advance to the mid-stage Connate realm, right?"
"With your strength, even if you enter the Pill Dragon Valley alone, you will be able to do as you please."
Wu Yong smiled and said, "Even though my cultivation has reached the peak of early Xian Tian realm, the Pill Dragon Valley is the abode of an alchemist, and Miss Lu is a Second Tier Alchemist. Entering the Pill Dragon Valley with her is the right choice."
Wu Yong was not stupid. An Alchemist's Soul Force was relatively strong, so it was easy for him to discover some hidden dangers.
Elixir Dragon Valley was the abode of an Early-stage Level Five Elixir Refinement Master, so it was inevitable that there would be some restrictions inside. Apart from Elixir Refinement Masters, it would be very difficult to remove those restrictions with Martial Dao cultivation.
Therefore, no matter how powerful Wu Yong was, he had to enter the Pill Dragon Valley with the alchemist.
Lu Wei frowned and did not agree immediately.
Seeing Lu Suan's reaction, Wu Yong added, "The competition in the Elixir Dragon Valley is fierce as well. When Lady Lu is in danger, I will be in danger as well. I will shield Lady Lu from all dangers!"
Dong dong!
After some thoughts, Lu Suan was about to say something when he heard noises coming from the door.
Elder Hiroshi walked forward and opened the door.
"Elder Mo, there's a young Three Star Consecrator outside who wants to see you," the manservant said as he stood outside the door.
"Esteemed Elder …" Elder Hiroshi frowned. Just as he was about to ask a question, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he said, "I understand. You can leave for now."
The servant turned around and left.
"Elder Mo, could it be Ning Yue?" Lu Wei asked.
Nodding, Elder Hiroshi said, "It should be Ning Yue. Should we invite him over?"
"No need, I'll go there myself." Lu Wei immediately stood up and apologized to Wu Yong, saying, "Young Master Wu, I have to go see someone. Please wait here for a moment."
"Miss Lu, I know Ning Yue as well. Let's go together," Wu Yong said.
Glancing at Wu Yong, Lu Wei did not refuse.
In the morning, she learned of what happened in Drunken Cloud Inn a few days ago.
Not long after, Lu Wei and Wu Yong arrived at Snow Domain Pavilion's main hall.
Walking quickly to Ning Yue, Lu Wei said, "Ning Yue, why are you here? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
Smiling at Lu Wei, Ning Yue said, "I came in a hurry this time, mainly to buy some herbs … Wu Yong?"
Before he finished, Ning Yue saw Wu Yong behind Lu Wei and asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
"Ning Yue, I trust you have been well since we last met."
Wu Yong said, "I'm looking for Lu Wei to discuss the matter of entering Pill Dragon Valley."
"Gentlemen, this is not the place to talk." Old Mo said. After all, this was Snow Domain Pavilion's main hall. With so many people coming and going, it was not convenient to talk.
Leading Ning Yue and the others into a room, Old Mo said, "You guys talk first, I have something to do."
Inside the room, Lu Wei, Wu Yong, and Ning Yue sat in three different positions. None of them spoke first.
After a while, Lu Wei was the first to break the silence, saying, "Ning Yue, I heard that you and Zhang Wenyong have agreed to a life-and-death duel?"
Nodding, Ning Yue did not deny it.
"Fool!" Lu Wei's face darkened, a little angry, and said, "I heard that Zhang Wenyong has reached the peak of early-stage Xiantian, and a Zhang family expert came to bless him. In a week, he will definitely reach mid-stage Xiantian. What's the difference between you and him having a life-and-death duel?"
"Ning Yue, I also did not expect Zhang Wenyong's strength to improve so quickly." Wu Yong sighed.
"How about this, let's enter Pill Dragon Valley together. With Old Mo around, Zhang Wenyong will not dare to attack you in the outer valley." After thinking for a while, Lu Wei said, "And once we enter the inner valley, with me and Young Master Wu, even if Zhang Wenyong has reached mid-stage Xiantian, we can still fight."
"Yes, Ning Yue, I am here to discuss the matter of entering Pill Dragon Valley. It just so happens that the three of us can form an alliance." Wu Yong's eyes lit up, and he said.
Ning Yue was able to cure Liu Shan's hidden illness, and made Liu Shan, a second-grade alchemist, treat him with respect. From this, it could be seen that his alchemy level had most likely reached the second-grade.
Ning Yue's martial arts cultivation was not weak, and he could withstand a full-force blow from Song Fei at mid-stage Xiantian.
Now, when Wu Yong looked at Ning Yue, he had a hazy feeling. In other words, even he could not see through Ning Yue's real cultivation.
"Could it be that he has advanced to the late-stage Xiantian?" Just as this thought appeared in his mind, he could not get rid of it. The way Wu Yong looked at Ning Yue changed.
If Ning Yue had really advanced to the late-stage Xiantian, then he might have a ten percent chance of winning against Zhang Wenyong!
As for Ning Yue himself, he was not too worried. With his current strength, even if he could not kill a mid-stage Xiantian warrior, it would not be easy for a mid-stage Xiantian warrior to kill him.
"Lu Wei, Wu Yong, thank you for your kindness."
Ning Yue had to thank Wu Yong and Lu Wei for their kindness, but regarding the alliance, he had his own views. He said, "There is no need for an alliance."
The Zhang family was powerful in the capital, and Ning Yue did not want Wu Yong and Lu Wei to get involved.
"Ning Yue! You are the Snow Pavilion's Three Stars Consecrator, and we are on the same side. " Ning Yue looked displeased, and said, "The alliance is decided. Don't say anything else. In two days, we will set off for Dan Dragon Valley!"
Ning Yue did not want to go with them, but since Lu Wei was so determined, he could not refuse.
After all, Lu Wei had helped him a lot. If not for Old Mo, he would have been killed by Lin Jingtian.
With a bitter smile, Ning Yue said, "In that case, let's form an alliance."
"Then I will go back and prepare. We will meet at the city gate in two days." Wu Yong stood up, said goodbye to Lu Wei, and left the Snow Pavilion.
After Wu Yong left, Ning Yue took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lu Wei, "I need some herbs. Get me a portion of these herbs."
"Jasper Grass, Camel Peak Flower …"
Chapter 58
"Never heard of it?" Lu Wei was surprised, but Ning Yue was even more surprised.
These herbs were relatively common twenty years ago and not expensive. Why hadn't Lu Wei heard of them?
Nodding, Lu Wei said, "I've never heard of these herbs. Why don't you let Old Mo take a look?"
This time, Lu Wei didn't question Ning Yue. She wanted Old Mo to take a look and confirm if he had seen these herbs before.
Last time, Ning Yue had shocked her, so she didn't dare to make a rash judgment.
If she hadn't seen the Marrow Cleansing Pill recipe Ning Yue had taken out last time, she wouldn't have been so angry.
"In other words, Snow Pavilion doesn't have these herbs?" Ning Yue frowned.
Camel Peak Flower, Jasper Grass, and the other herbs were essential to refining the Soul Enchanting Pill. Without them, it would be impossible to successfully refine the Soul Enchanting Pill.
"I don't know the specifics. Let Old Mo take a look." Saying this, Lu Wei got up to call Old Mo.
A moment later, Old Mo came to the room.
Looking at the names of the herbs on the paper, Old Mo was surprised and couldn't help but look at Ning Yue.
The Jasper Grass was extremely precious, worth one high-grade crystal. There were only two pearls in the entire Snow Pavilion.
Moreover, the Jasper Grass was very helpful for soul damage. As for what kind of pill it could be used to refine, he didn't know.
As for the Camel Peak Flower and the other herbs, he had heard of them a few times when he was at Danwu College. But that was all. He didn't know their specific effects.
After thinking for a moment, Old Mo said, "Snow Pavilion has the Jasper Grass. As for the Camel Peak Flower and the other herbs, Snow Pavilion doesn't have them. If you really need them, you can try your luck at Danwu College."
"Forget it. Get me two sets of the herbs on the list. I'll think of something else." Helpless, Ning Yue said, "Also, do you have an Illusionary Cloud Beast's core? If you have them, give me five sets of the herbs needed for the Essence Condensing Pill. "
He couldn't go to Danwu College right now, so the matter of refining the Soul Enchanting Pill could only be temporarily put on hold.
As for the Absolute Soul Sword, it did not have the assistance of the Soul Imprint Pill, so he could not imprint his soul imprint inside. Ning Yue pondered whether he should buy another Earth-grade flying sword.
Touching his storage pouch, Ning Yue dispelled this thought. After all, he only had over 90 high-grade Origin Crystals, and the cheapest low-grade earth-rank flying sword required 10,000 high-grade Origin Crystals. He couldn't afford it at all.
Ten minutes later, Ning Yue took two sets of herbs for the Soul Enchanting Pill and five sets of herbs for the Soul Condensing Pill and left the Snow Domain Pavilion through the back door.
"Elder Mo, why did Ning Yue buy five sets of ingredients for the Soul Condensing Pill? Could it be that he really can concoct the Soul Condensing Pill?" Lu Wei asked doubtfully.
"The Soul Condensing Pill is a third-grade pinnacle pill. Even I can't say that I can successfully concoct it, let alone Ning Yue." Elder Mo said, "In my opinion, he bought the herbs mainly because he doesn't believe in heresy. He has a drive and must concoct the Soul Condensing Pill.
"Right, the inner valley of Pill Dragon Valley is extremely dangerous. Use these two days to prepare well and strive to advance to the pinnacle of the Postliminary Realm."
As if thinking of something, Elder Mo said solemnly, "Danwu College has also sent out 20 students for training. Among them, there are a few who are ranked in the top 1000 of the Outer Yard. They are very strong. You must be careful when the time comes."
Hearing this, Lu Wei's heart skipped a beat and she secretly became cautious.
To be able to rank in the top 1000 of the Outer Yard of Danwu College, their martial cultivation had reached the Postliminary Realm.
The inner valley of Pill Dragon Valley was extremely dangerous. If one's martial cultivation was not high, a little carelessness could lead to disaster.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing Lu Wei's expression, Elder Mo waved his hand and said, "The experts of the family will arrive tonight. By then, Xia Linxian will follow. With him protecting you, at least your safety can be guaranteed."
"Xia Linxian?"
Raising her eyebrow, Lu Wei was slightly surprised.
When Xia Linxian was 12 years old, he displayed shocking martial talent and advanced to the pinnacle of Body Tempering Stage Ten!
A year later, he reached the Postliminary Realm!
When he was 15 years old, he broke through the limits of the Postliminary Realm and advanced to the early-stage Postliminary Realm!
This year, he was 18 years old. No one knew his exact cultivation.
But the outside world guessed that he had probably advanced to the mid-stage Postliminary Realm.
"Xia Linxian is the pillar of the younger generation in the capital. His strength is unfathomable."
Nodding, Elder Mo said, "This time, the pavilion master spent a lot of money to invite him into the inner valley to protect you."
Nodding, Elder Mo said, "Elder Mo, this year, Xia Linxian should be participating in Danwu College's assessment, right?" Lu Wei asked.
"That's right. This year, Danwu College is recruiting in large numbers. Most of the younger generation who didn't participate in the assessment a few years ago will be participating." Elder Mo explained, "With Xia Linxian's strength, it won't be a problem for him to take first place in the assessment. He might even be nurtured as an inner yard disciple. Who knows, he might even become a core disciple in a year's time."
"Oh right, Elder Mo, what did my father promise Xia Linxian to make him, a martial arts fanatic, willing to waste his time to protect me?"
Lu Wei was puzzled. In the capital, everyone knew that Xia Linxian was a martial arts fanatic who spent twenty hours a day on cultivation.
To be able to invite him, her father must have spent a lot of money.
"A supreme Qi Condensation Pill." Taking a deep breath, Elder Mo said, "In order to invite Xia Linxian, the pavilion master bought a supreme Qi Condensation Pill from the black market. Otherwise, Xia Linxian would definitely not come."
Elder Mo sighed. Right now, he was half a step into the True Martial Realm. Once he had a supreme Qi Condensation Pill, he would have a fifty percent chance of breaking through his limit and advancing to the True Martial Realm.
Even though the market price of a supreme Qi Condensation Pill was very low, only a thousand high-grade crystals, there was no market for it. Unless it was some big alchemy sect, no one would sell it.
"Elder Mo, now that you've advanced to a fourth grade alchemist, I believe my father will definitely buy you a supreme Qi Condensation Pill."
All these years, Elder Mo had been working hard for the Snow Domain Pavilion. He even gave up the capital to enter a small place like Tianxuan City. Lu Wei had seen all of this. "When this matter comes to an end, I will ask my father to allow you to return to the capital."
"Hehe, it's the same no matter where I am," Elder Mo said with a smile.
…
At the same time, Ning Yue had already returned home.
As he was going to set off for Dan Dragon Valley in two days, Ning Yue did not dare to waste a single moment.
First, he took out a high-grade crystal and used the Spirit Transformation Art to absorb it, adjusting his condition to its peak.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, Ning Yue took out five sets of herbs for the Qi Condensation Pill.
Taking out the cauldron, Origin Energy coiled around his palm. Sizzling sounds could be heard as the flames surged crazily at the bottom of the cauldron.
This trip to Dan Dragon Valley was fraught with danger.
Having a supreme Qi Condensation Pill on him was a form of insurance for Ning Yue!
Immersing his consciousness into the cauldron, he placed the herbs into the cauldron with his left hand. Extending his soul force, he carefully extracted the herbs.
Even though he had already refined three cauldrons of Qi Condensation Pills, and two of them were supreme Qi Condensation Pills, Ning Yue did not dare to be careless.
Chapter 59
Time flew. Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight rose, Ning Yue hurriedly packed up and left the Ning family quietly.
Before long, Ning Yue arrived at the city gates of Tianxuan City.
"Hehe, Ning Yue, you're early."
As soon as Ning Yue stepped out of the city gate, he saw Wu Yong waiting outside.
Wu Yong came to Ning Yue's side and said, "I haven't seen you for two days. Your cultivation has improved again. It will be difficult for me to defeat you without some effort."
"Compared to you, I'm already late."
Glancing at Wu Yong, Ning Yue said, "Peak early-stage Connate. I believe you will break through to mid-stage Connate after this trip to Elixir Dragon Valley."
"Hehe, it is not that easy to break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. If I had a Soul Solidifying Pellet, I might be able to try to break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm." Waving his hand, Wu Yong said, "Let's wait a little longer.
"Condensing Pill." Touching his storage pouch, Ning Yue rolled his eyes.
Two days, five cauldrons of elixirs, one superior-grade Condensing Pill, and four superior-grade Condensing Pills.
In addition to the Supreme Essence Condensing Pill from last time, Ning Yue had a total of five Supreme Essence Condensing Pills and one High-grade Essence Condensing Pill, but he did not plan to give them to Wu Yong. After all, he was not particularly familiar with Wu Yong, so there was no need for him to give them to Wu Yong.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the air seemed to tremble. Countless air currents gathered at one spot.
In the next moment, a man in white appeared.
The man in white carried a huge sword on his back. His face was resolute.
"Mid-stage Connate?" Seeing the man in white, Ning Yue raised his eyebrows. He was secretly shocked.
Although the man in white had concealed his aura, his sharp soul perception was still able to determine the man's cultivation.
Mid-stage Connate!
The man in white was probably about the same age as him, but his cultivation had already reached the mid-stage Connate. This martial arts talent was shocking.
"Xia Linxian!"
Wu Yong's shock was much greater than Ning Yue's. At this moment, his mouth was slightly agape, and he was almost stunned on the spot.
In the capital, Xia Linxian was the leader of the younger generation. He was very powerful.
Some people speculated that his strength was on par with the top 1000 martial artists in the Inner Yard of Danwu College!
Most importantly, Xia Linxian had always been a loner and had never stepped out of the capital. Why would he come to Elixir Dragon Valley this time?
Whoosh!
Then, Lu Wei tapped the ground with her toes and landed steadily in front of Ning Yue and the others.
"Ning Yue, this is Xia Linxian from the capital."
After landing, Lu Wei explained, "He will enter the inner valley with us."
"By the way, didn't Elder Hiroshi say that he wanted to go in with us?" Ning Yue was puzzled.
"Elder Mo will meet us at the entrance of Pill Dragon Valley's outer valley. We'll make a move first," Lu Wei said.
To reach Pill Dragon Valley's outer valley, they had to pass through the Magical Beast Ridge.
There were many demonic beasts in the Magical Beast Ridge, and it was a good place to train. Naturally, Elder Mo would not follow them.
As for the safety of Lu Wei and the others, with Xia Linxian around, Elder Mo was very assured.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a sword aura shot out of thin air, directly attacking Ning Yue.
"Xia Linxian, what are you doing?!"
Lu Wei did not expect Xia Linxian to attack Ning Yue. She immediately shouted, "Ning Yue is Snow Domain Pavilion's Three Stars Consecrator!"
Xia Linxian's sudden attack made Lu Wei's expression change drastically.
She knew Xia Linxian's strength. Not to mention one Ning Yue, even three or four Ning Yue's might not be able to withstand a single attack from Xia Linxian.
"Ning Yue, be careful," Wu Yong hurriedly reminded.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the huge pressure, Ning Yue frowned, but he still stood his ground, not moving an inch.
"Hmm? Not bad. No wonder he can become Snow Domain Pavilion's Three Stars Consecrator. First of all, cultivation aside, his determination is very rare. "
The sword aura was extremely fast, appearing thirty centimeters in front of Ning Yue's chest in the blink of an eye.
Based on this trend, Xia Linxian had no intention of stopping.
Ning Yue's expression changed slightly. He formed a hand seal with his right hand and took out the Azure Cloud Sword.
Chi chi!
As the sword struck out, the surrounding air seemed to be burning, letting out a sizzling sound.
Pa!
In the next instant, the Azure Cloud Sword collided with Xia Linxian's sword aura, producing a low muffled sound.
Feeling the huge rebound from his wrist, Ning Yue's feet touched the ground, and he took a few steps back to dissipate the force.
As for Xia Linxian, he stood in the same place, frowning, as if he was recalling the move just now.
"Xia Linxian, what the hell are you doing!" Seeing that Xia Linxian had stopped, Lu Wei hurried to Ning Yue's side and examined Ning Yue. After making sure that he was fine, she scolded, "I told you before we came, Ning Yue is Snow Domain Pavilion's Three Stars Consecrator, and I told you not to have any conflict with him."
Ignoring Lu Wei's scolding, Xia Linxian looked at the Azure Cloud Sword in Ning Yue's hand and frowned, "Your sword attack just now was very powerful. If you used an Earth-grade flying sword, I'm afraid you could have forced me to draw my sword."
"You are also very strong," Ning Yue said in a deep voice.
Indeed, Xia Linxian was very strong, even stronger than Song Fei of Drunken Cloud Brothel.
Even though Ning Yue had displayed the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art, he could only block Xia Linxian's sword Qi. Once Xia Linxian drew his sword, Ning Yue would definitely not be his opponent.
"If I'm not wrong, your cultivation should have reached the late Hou Tian stage, or even infinitely close to the peak Hou Tian stage," Xia Linxian said.
Xia Linxian's words made Ning Yue's heart skip a beat. He thought to himself that Xia Linxian was indeed worthy of being the capital's number one genius, he could actually see through his cultivation.
It must be known that the outside world generally believed that he was at the middle Hou Tian stage, but Xia Linxian could actually see through it. Ning Yue couldn't help but think a little more highly of him.
"The peak of the middle Hou Tian stage, your talent is also not bad," Ning Yue said.
"What!"
As soon as Ning Yue's voice fell, Wu Yong suddenly jumped up, "Xia Linxian's cultivation has reached the peak of the middle Hou Tian stage? This is too abnormal, it is really infuriating to compare with others. "
"The peak of the middle Hou Tian stage!" Lu Wei's heart also jumped, no wonder her father would use a supreme grade Condensing Essence Pill to invite Xia Linxian, so his strength had already reached this level.
"You can see through my cultivation?" Xia Linxian was finally moved, his mouth slightly opened, feeling a little incredulous.
The reason why he could see through Ning Yue's cultivation was because he had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, practicing a kind of cultivation method that was especially sensitive to Yuan Qi.
Practicing this kind of cultivation method not only had a special sense of other people's cultivation, but also could conceal one's own aura.
Ning Yue could see through his cultivation, it seemed that there was a secret.
Shrugging, Ning Yue said, "I just guessed."
Ning Yue's words made Xia Linxian have an impulse to vomit blood, but he still had a feeling that Ning Yue could really see through his cultivation, and it didn't seem like a blind guess.
"Let's quickly set off, after all, we still have to pass through the Magic Beast Mountain Range." Wu Yong took the lead and flew into the distance.
Taking another look at Ning Yue, Xia Linxian's toes touched the ground, and his body instantly shot out.
"Ning Yue …" Lu Wei said, her mouth slightly open.
"Let's go." Seeing that Lu Suan wanted to say something, Ning Yue spoke in an indifferent manner. After which, he ran into the distance.
"Damn it!"
Chapter 60
The Magical Beast Mountain Range was located 25 li east of Tianxuan City. It was rumored that many demonic beasts roamed within.
Although the mountain range was extremely dangerous, the four major clans of Tianxuan City would send their disciples there every year to train and fight against the demonic beasts.
Of course, they only stayed at the periphery of the mountain range, not daring to enter.
Pill Dragon Valley was located on the other side of the mountain range. In order to enter the valley, one had to pass through the extremely dangerous region.
In a very deep region of the mountain range, under a dozen towering trees, three young cultivators stood with their backs against each other. They were wielding sabers, swords, and other weapons. Their clothes were tattered, and burn marks could be seen everywhere.
A few corpses lay beside them, their bodies already a bloody mess from being pecked.
Although the clothes of the three young men were tattered, one could tell from their temperament and tattered clothes that they came from an extraordinary background.
One of the young men was carrying a petite Bloodthirsty Eagle in his arms. Clearly, it was a cub!
The dozen or so Bloodthirsty Eagles were all over two meters long. They had fiery-red feathers, hook-like beaks, and scissor-like tails.
One of the Bloodthirsty Eagles swooped down and clawed at one of the young men. Then, it took to the sky again. Another Bloodthirsty Eagle did the same thing.
Clearly, these Bloodthirsty Eagles were intelligent.
"Damn it! Why is my luck so bad! "Lou Fei spat out a mouthful of saliva and cursed.
"Lou Fei, you still have the cheek to say that? If you didn't steal the Bloodthirsty Eagle's cub, would we be in this situation?" Lou Fei's words enraged Yun Qiang.
Originally, he and four Danwu College students had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range to enter the outer valley of Pill Dragon Valley as soon as possible. Who would have thought that they would meet Lou Fei from Danwu College?
Moreover, Lou Fei had stolen the Bloodthirsty Eagle's cub, thoroughly angering the Bloodthirsty Eagles and causing them to hunt him down.
Yun Qiang accidentally fell into a dangerous situation and was also targeted by the Bloodthirsty Eagles.
After a few battles, the four Danwu College students all died in battle. Currently, only Yun Qiang, Lou Fei, and one of Lou Fei's followers were left.
"Hmph! I didn't ask you to come with me. You're the one who wants the Bloodthirsty Eagle's cub, right? "Lou Fei snorted coldly.
"You!" Clenching his fists, Yun Qiang's eyes burned with anger, but he quickly suppressed it.
Lou Fei's cultivation was profound, and he had long since reached the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. He was ranked among the top hundred in the outer court of Danwu College, and his strength was unfathomable.
Moreover, Lou Fei's follower's cultivation was not low either, having reached the late stage of the Xiantian realm.
Suddenly, Lou Fei's follower sensed something and said, "There are four young martial artists a thousand meters to the right."
"Yunqiang, hold the Wild Bloodthirsty Hawk hatchlings and lure them away." Lou Fei's eyes lit up as he hurriedly threw the Bloodthirsty Wild Eaglet to Yun Qiang and said, "When we return to Danwu College, I'll definitely report this to my uncle and get you a Soul Condensing Pill!"
Whoosh!
Hugging the cub, Yun Qiang's expression changed. He could sense the Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk's aura locking onto him.
"Get lost!" While Yun Qiang wasn't paying attention, Lou Fei kicked Yun Qiang into the distance.
"Ruthlessness!"
As soon as Yun Qiang moved, the Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk in the air flapped its wings and swooped down at him.
"Oh my god!" With no time to think, Yun Qiang broke into a run at lightning speed, using every ounce of strength he had left.
"Everyone, be careful. There will be Rank 3 demonic beasts ahead."
At that moment, in the Magical Beast Ridge, a group of four young cultivators was walking slowly.
Wu Yong casually tossed aside a Rank 2 demonic beast and reminded them, "Rank 3 demonic beasts are very powerful, equivalent to a Xiantian realm martial artist."
"How much longer until we reach the outer valley of the Pill Dragon Valley?" Ning Yue asked.
"If we move at full speed, it'll take about a day and a night."
Wu Yong said, "That's under the premise that we don't encounter a horde of demonic beasts. Once we do, our speed will drop to freezing point, and we might not even be able to move an inch."
In the Magical Beast Ridge, the scariest thing was not encountering powerful demonic beasts, but encountering a horde of demonic beasts.
Wherever the horde of demonic beasts passed, not even a blade of grass would grow. There was no sign of life at all.
"Hurry up, I can sense the aura of at least ten Rank 3 demonic beasts in the surroundings." Xia Linxian took a step forward and headed into the distance.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then, the whistling of flying beasts came from the depths of the Magical Beast Ridge, accompanied by a few screams and curses.
Ning Yue's brows twitched, immediately realizing that there were cultivators fighting with flying beasts in the depths of the Magical Beast Ridge.
"Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles!" From the whistling, Ning Yue determined that the flying beasts were Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles, early-stage Rank 3 demonic beasts!
Xia Linxian cupped his fists and said calmly, "I advise you to mind your own business. The flying beasts in front of us are very powerful, and there are a lot of them."
"If that's the case, let's go around them." Lu Wei was not a nosy person. She knew that their destination was the Pill Dragon Valley, and wasting time here was not worth it.
"It's too late!"
However, Ning Yue's heart sank, and his expression turned ugly. He said in a low voice, "Someone is leading the Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles in our direction!"
The moment he said 'coming', Ning Yue saw a figure charging in their direction at lightning speed.
"Yun Qiang!"
Ning Yue recognized the cultivator at a glance. It was Danwu College's Yun Qiang!
"Prepare for battle."
Xia Linxian bellowed and took out the giant sword on his back, his expression solemn. "Those are Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles, early-stage Rank 3 demonic beasts. Their strength is comparable to a mid-stage Xiantian martial artist."
"Ning Yue!" Yun Qiang's eyes were very sharp, and he naturally saw Ning Yue. After a momentary daze, he immediately increased his speed and flew over.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a sword aura came from afar, heading straight for the dozen or so Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles in the air.
"Woo woo!"
Perhaps sensing danger, the Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles let out a few screams and immediately scattered.
However, they did not leave. Instead, they circled above the group, waiting for the next time to swoop down.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Qiang arrived beside Ning Yue's group with the Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles in his arms. He sat on the ground, panting heavily.
"Yun Qiang, why did you lure these Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles over?!" Ning Yue's expression was dark. If not for Wu Yong and the rest, he would have killed Yun Qiang long ago.
"Ning Yue, I had no choice."
Yun Qiang was not stupid. Xia Linxian's shocking sword attack had forced the Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles back, giving him hope of survival. He had to hold on tightly to Ning Yue's group. He could not be eliminated.
Yun Qiang's eyes darted around, and he hurriedly said, "Ning Yue, as long as you are willing to save me, I will tell you a secret!"
"It's about your big brother, Ning Xuan!"
Swoosh!
Ning Yue's expression turned cold. He took a step forward, and a powerful aura pressed down on Yun Qiang. "Speak! What happened to my big brother?! "
Under the pressure of Ning Yue's aura, Yun Qiang felt like he could not breathe. He was shocked. Ning Yue's strength had improved so quickly. He did not feel this way a few days ago.
However, Yun Qiang did not think too much about it. He hurriedly said, "Your big brother and Kong Yue went deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. They also want to go to Pill Dragon Valley. I heard that they were surrounded at the entrance of Pill Dragon Valley!"
Chapter 61
"What did you say!?"
Ning Yue's face turned cold. His aura gushed out crazily and pressed down on Yun Qiang unscrupulously. "Is this true or not? Tell me the truth!"
Plop!
Unable to withstand Ning Yue's powerful aura, Yun Qiang knelt on the ground and quickly said, "It's absolutely true. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning."
Hua!
With a thought, Ning Yue instantly withdrew his aura. His face was ashen.
The people of the Corpse Sect were extremely vicious. Once they targeted someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In addition, Ning Xuan's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Houtian Realm. How could he be a match for the Corpse Sect?
Screech! Screech!
At this moment, the two Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles finally couldn't bear it anymore. They cried out and quickly rushed toward Yun Qiang.
"Ning Yue, I'll give you this Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle hatchling." Yun Qiang quickly threw the hatchling to Ning Yue and took a few steps back.
"This … isn't a Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle, but a Dragon Eagle!" Looking at the hatchling in his arms, Ning Yue was stunned for a moment.
He determined that the hatchling didn't belong to a Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle, but a Dragon Eagle hatchling!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
While Ning Yue was still in a daze, the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles in the air suddenly changed their direction and swiped at Ning Yue with their sharp claws.
"Noisy!" At this moment, Ning Yue was a little irritated. The two cyclones in his body became violent. He took out the Azure Cloud Sword and swung it around.
Puchi!
The Azure Cloud Sword was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, two sword rays shot out and landed on the wings of the two Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles.
Although the wings of the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles were extremely hard, they were still cut off by the powerful sword rays!
Bang, bang! The two Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles fell to the ground and let out miserable screams.
The sudden change caused Lu Wei and the others to gape in shock.
Ning Yue … was too abnormal, right?
The Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle was an early-stage Third Order Demonic Beast, and its strength was equivalent to a Xiantian middle stage martial artist. Ning Yue had actually cut off their wings with a single slash. With such strength, it was no wonder that Lu Wei and the others were shocked.
"Looks like he hid his strength when he fought with me." In the distance, Xia Linxian frowned slightly. He was somewhat shocked.
At the city gate of Tianxuan City, he and Ning Yue hastily exchanged blows. At that time, he didn't use any transcendent artifact, so Ning Yue was at a disadvantage.
This time, it was the same move, but it was much more powerful than before.
Xia Linxian guessed that he would have to use his full strength to block Ning Yue's sword.
"Brother Xia, why don't we work together to repel these Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks?" Ning Yue did not become arrogant after killing two Bloodthirsty Mad Eagles. Instead, he suggested working together with Xia Linxian.
This was because Ning Yue knew very well that the reason the Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks had been cut down by him was because they had been too careless and had focused all their attention on the Dragon Eagle hatchling.
On top of that, he had used his full strength without holding back, and had even used the Ki within two cyclones.
Under such circumstances, he had only been able to kill two Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks with a single slash.
Otherwise, he would have only been able to deal with one Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk. This was also the reason why Ning Yue wanted to work together with Xia Linxian.
"Alright!" Nodding, Xia Linxian waved the giant sword in his hand, tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, and soared into the air.
Swoosh!
The giant sword in his hand slashed down, and a huge sword light suddenly appeared, blasting directly at the Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks in the sky.
"Lu Wei, carry this hatchling." After passing the hatchling to Lu Wei, Ning Yue rose from the ground, and his Ki continuously poured into the Qingyun Sword. Then, he used the first form of the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art and joined the battle.
Seeing that Ning Yue and the others had joined the battle, Wu Yong also joined the battle.
His cultivation was at the peak of the early Connate stage. Although his strength was not as strong as Ning Yue and Xia Linxian, he could still hold off one Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk.
As for Lu Wei, she took a few steps back, holding the hatchling in her arms, her brows tightly knitted together.
This was because she realized that the hatchling was actually injured. A piece of flesh had been torn off its chest, and the feathers on its wings were dull.
Immediately, Lu Wei's maternal instincts were aroused, and she quickly took out the medicinal herbs she carried with her to stop the bleeding.
"I didn't expect you to be an alchemist as well," Yun Qiang leaned over and said shamelessly.
Without raising her head, Lu Wei said coldly as she stopped the hatchling's bleeding, "If you don't go and help, I won't be able to help you if anything happens."
Hearing this, Yun Qiang's expression changed.
Recalling the shock that Ning Yue had given him, he gritted his teeth, and in an instant, he leaped out and joined the battle.
Yun Qiang was not stupid. He immediately reacted to Lu Wei's reminder.
His cultivation was also at the early Connate stage, similar to Wu Yong. It would not be a problem for him to hold off a Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk for a short period of time.
He knew very well that he was the cause of this trouble. If he had not brought news of Ning Xuan, Ning Yue would have killed him long ago.
Therefore, he exerted all of his strength and did not dare to hold back in the slightest.
Boom!
A ray of sword Qi shot out, and Xia Linxian said, "Ning Yue, with our strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to force these Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks to retreat. It seems like we need to think of another way. If this continues, our Yuan Qi will be depleted."
"Why don't we return the hatchling to them?"
After attacking a few times, Ning Yue shook his head and said, "According to my observation, even if we return the hatchling to them, they will not give up. After all, it is not their hatchling, but the hatchling of their natural enemy."
Frowning, Xia Linxian said, "If that's the case, we can only fight to the death!"
Swoosh!
Xia Linxian instantly increased his speed, and with a slash, he landed on the neck of a Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk.
Crack!
With a crack, the Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk's neck was severed, its head separated from its body!
"That huge sword of his should be an Earth-rank flying sword." Ning Yue was somewhat shocked. A flying sword that could sever the neck of a Bloodthirsty Wild Hawk had to be at least Earth-rank, otherwise it would be very difficult to do so.
"Damn it, if I had refined the Soul Imprint Pill and imprinted my soul imprint on the Soul Severing Sword, coupled with the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art, killing these Bloodthirsty Wild Hawks would not be difficult!"
Grasping the Emerald Cloud Sword, the Yuan Qi in the two cyclones gushed out wildly. Ning Yue felt extremely frustrated, as if he had the power but could not use it.
The Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art was extremely powerful, but without a flying sword, it could not display its full power.
Moreover, after using the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art several times, the Emerald Cloud Sword could not hold on any longer, and the cracks on the sword gradually increased.
According to Ning Yue's judgment, the Emerald Cloud Sword would break completely after using the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art four to five more times.
"I have to force them to retreat or kill them as soon as possible!" With a cold glint in his eyes, Ning Yue knew that Ning Xuan was under attack at the entrance of the Elixir Dragon Valley's outer valley, and he had to rush there as soon as possible.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm, second style, Lonely Name!"
His hands formed a series of hand seals, and the Yuan Qi in his body gathered on his palms.
"Go!" With a low grunt, Ning Yue swung his hands out.
Chapter 62
Puchi!
Before the two Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles could react, they were struck by the giant palm and turned into specks of bloody light, completely disappearing from the world.
Whoosh!
Ning Yue's thunderous attack stunned the other Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles in the sky.
They stared at Ning Yue as if he was the Grim Reaper, the fear in their eyes visible.
The shock that came from the depths of their souls prevented them from acting rashly. They could only cry out a few times in the air.
"Phew." Seeing the reaction of the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles, Ning Yue let out a long sigh.
Currently, before he refined the Soul Imprint Pill, his strongest move was the Netherworld Samsara Palm. Relying on the unique soul attack of the second move of the Netherworld Samsara Palm, he could contend against a Xiantian Realm martial artist when he was in the late Houtian Realm.
Once he refined the Soul Imprint Pill and imprinted his soul imprint into the Soul Breaking Sword, his strongest move would be the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Art that he executed with the Soul Breaking Sword!
After all, the Soul Severing Sword was a Heaven-ranked magic treasure.
"Ning Yue is actually this strong?" Yun Qiang was somewhat dumbfounded. He had thought that he had overestimated Ning Yue, but Ning Yue had given him a shock that far exceeded his expectations.
Ning Yue's two palms just now made him feel like his soul was trembling.
"So this is your true strength," Xia Linxian's eyes narrowed, his fighting spirit surging. He had the urge to spar with Ning Yue.
Screech! Screech!
At this moment, six or seven Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles were circling in the sky, crying out. They did not dare to swoop down recklessly.
With a cold look in his eyes, Ning Yue tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and waved his hands again. In an instant, two giant palm prints appeared.
Boom! Boom!
The palm prints did not stop at all, speeding into the sky.
Seeing Ning Yue's thunderous attack, Xia Linxian's Yuan Qi circulated wildly, pouring endlessly into the giant sword.
In the next instant, a giant sword light slashed out, following closely behind the two palm prints.
Huala!
Perhaps it was due to the immense pressure exerted on the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagles by the palm imprint and the sword light, they let out a shrill cry and flew off into the distance.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle flew away, Ning Yue felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he felt like he was on the verge of collapsing.
Lu Wei rushed to Ning Yue's side and supported him, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
Waving his hand, Ning Yue said, "I'm fine. Let's hurry up and reach the Pill Dragon Valley's outer valley as soon as possible."
Stomping her foot, Lu Wei said angrily, "With your current state, even if you rush to the outer valley of Pill Dragon Valley, you won't be able to save Ning Xuan. In my opinion, you should recuperate for a period of time. It won't be too late to rush there after you've recovered to your peak state."
"I'm really fine," Pushing away Lu Wei, Ning Yue wanted to take a few steps, but his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
The previous few attacks had already drained Ning Yue's Origin Qi. Now, there wasn't even a shred of Origin Qi left in his body.
Moreover, his whole body was extremely weak, and he really didn't have the strength to even truss a chicken.
Circulating the Spirit Transformation Art, Ning Yue hurriedly absorbed some of the Origin Qi in the air, giving his arms and legs some strength.
"Let's rest on the way. The Corpse Yin Sect's way of doing things is incomparably sinister. I'm afraid it'll be too late if we delay any longer." Taking out a mid-grade Origin Crystal, Ning Yue began to frantically absorb it to replenish his Origin Qi.
Back at the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, he had won ten mid-grade Origin Crystals from Song Fei, but he hadn't used them yet. Taking them out to absorb now was just right.
After all, taking out high-grade Origin Crystals to absorb in front of Wu Yong and Xia Linxian was a bit exaggerated.
"Ga, ga!"
When Ning Yue took out the mid-grade Origin Crystal, the Dragon Eagle Chick let out a few strange cries and struggled to break free from Lu Wei's embrace. Its small eyes shone brightly.
Seeing this, Ning Yue broke off a small piece of Origin Crystal and handed it to the Dragon Eagle Chick.
Kacha!
The Dragon Eagle Chick swallowed the Origin Crystal fragment after chewing for a bit.
"Eh? This chick is a bit special. It can actually swallow mid-grade Origin Crystals. " Xia Linxian was a bit shocked. He had seen demonic beasts that could swallow Origin Crystals, but he had never seen a chick that could.
"Ning Yue, will Lil 'Red be alright?" Lu Wei asked worriedly.
"Ga, ga!" The Dragon Eagle Chick let out two "ga" sounds as if it was very satisfied with this name.
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times. Lil 'Red? Only Lu Wei could think of this name.
When the Dragon Eagle Chick grew up, it would probably regret it because it was a male …
"Don't worry. I've read in a book that this kind of chick is fine after swallowing Origin Crystals. Once they become adults, they often eat the cores of other demonic beasts." Ning Yue handed another fragment to the Dragon Eagle Chick and said, "A demonic beast's core contains a lot of Origin Qi, no less than the Origin Crystal fragments I fed it."
"That's good, that's good." Patting her ample chest, Lu Wei let out a long sigh.
It was obvious that she had already developed feelings for the Dragon Eagle Chick and had become one with it.
Shrugging, Ning Yue was a bit speechless. There was a saying that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea, unfathomable and unfathomable.
"Let's hurry up and set off. I've already recovered a bit, but I'm afraid that the Bloodthirsty Wild Eagle will come back if we wait any longer," Ning Yue said after a cyclone had recovered a third of its Origin Qi.
"Ning Yue, this chick, should we …" Xia Linxian gestured at his neck as he spoke, his meaning self-evident.
"Xia Linxian, what are you going to do to my Lil 'Red!" Lu Wei was a bit angry as she scolded, "Lil' Red didn't offend you. Why are you being so cruel?"
Xia Linxian felt a bit helpless. In truth, he was worried that Lil 'Red would attract other demonic beasts. They weren't in peak condition right now, and if they encountered a dozen or so third rank demonic beasts, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Brother Xia, it's fine. It shouldn't attract other demonic beasts," Ning Yue said, shaking his head at Xia Linxian.
The reason why Ning Yue was so sure was that he had separated a wisp of his soul power and wrapped it around the little red packet.
By doing so, other demonic beasts wouldn't be able to detect its aura.
Xia Linxian had no choice but to set off dubiously towards the outer valley of Pill Dragon Valley.
Wu Yong and Yun Qiang followed closely behind Xia Linxian.
As for Ning Yue, he followed beside Lu Wei. He had to keep an eye on Lil 'Red at all times to prevent its aura from leaking and attracting other powerful demonic beasts!
…
In the dense forest of towering trees, there was an open space filled with withered leaves.
At this moment, on this open space, a dozen or so young cultivators were standing back to back, huddled together.
Their clothes were ragged, and they were more or less severely injured. Some of them had a broken arm, while others were missing a leg.
Surrounding them were dozens of black-clothed martial artists. These black-clothed martial artists were all at the peak of the Postliminary Realm!
Although these black-clothed martial artists were all at the peak of the Postliminary Realm, the gazes of these young cultivators weren't focused on them. Instead, they were fixated on an old man who stood at the head of the black-clothed martial artists.
The old man's aura was restrained. As he inhaled and exhaled, the air around him seemed to vibrate.
This state indicated that the old man's cultivation had reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm.
Chapter 63
"A dozen students from Danwu College. Not bad, not bad."
The corner of the black-clothed old man's mouth curled up as his gaze swept across the crowd like a hunting dog staring at its prey. He said, "Now I'll give you a chance to live. Whoever can withstand one of my attacks will be allowed to leave."
Hearing the black-clothed old man's words, a few of the early stage Xiantian realm cultivators revealed a joyful expression. However, their expressions quickly turned gloomy.
Although the chance to withstand one of the black-clothed old man's attacks seemed very high, it was actually very slim.
The black-clothed old man was at the peak of the Xiantian realm. Not to mention early stage Xiantian realm cultivators, even late stage Xiantian realm cultivators might not be able to withstand one of his attacks.
"Let me!"
Suddenly, a young man in his twenties stepped forward and shouted, "I'll take one of your attacks!"
Looking at the young man, the black-clothed old man shook his head and said, "Peak Houtian realm cultivation, I don't even need 10% of my strength to deal with you."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clothed old man's feet touched the ground and he instantly dashed forward.
Bang!
In the next moment, there was a loud bang and the young man's body was like a kite with a broken string. He fell straight to the ground.
Puchi!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out and the young man died on the spot.
Hua!
The death of the young man caused the expressions of the other Danwu College students to change dramatically. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The black-clothed old man clapped his hands and said, "How boring. I didn't even use any strength and he already fell. Who's next?"
This time, none of the remaining people dared to make a move. After all, they had just been taught a bloody lesson. No one wanted to face the god of death so early.
A moment later, a man in light blue clothes said, "You guys besieged the students of Danwu College. Aren't you afraid that the dean's elder will come and fight you?"
"Fight me?"
The black-clothed old man pointed at his nose and laughed wildly. "To tell you the truth, your elder has already been besieged by the upper echelons of the Corpse Sect. His life or death is unknown. You want them to come and save you? Wishful thinking. "
The man in blue felt a chill in his heart. He had been hoping that the Academy Elders would come to his rescue, but now it seemed that he had been thinking too much.
The man's name was Han Feng, and he was the only old student from Danwu College who had come out for training. His strength had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Xiantian realm!
Before coming here, the elders of the academy had instructed him to protect the students of the academy.
Now that such a huge change had occurred, he was also very distressed.
Han Feng took a step forward and said, "How about we make a deal? As long as I can withstand one of your attacks, you'll let go of a student from Danwu College!"
The black-clothed elder raised his eyebrows and stared at Han Feng with interest.
"Peak of Xiantian middle-stage. He broke through to the peak of Xiantian middle-stage at such a young age. It seems like the decision made by the sect's higher-ups was right." The black-robed old man was secretly shocked because Han Feng was almost twenty-one years old, and his cultivation had already broken through to the peak of the middle-stage Xiantian realm, only one step away from the late-stage Xiantian realm.
Even in the Great Xia Kingdom's Corpse Sect, this kind of talent would be heavily nurtured.
"Brother Han Feng, you mustn't!"
"Yeah, you're no match for him."
"Where there is life, there is hope!"
Han Feng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "All of you, shut up! I'm your big brother, your senior. I have the obligation and responsibility to protect your safety! "
"Since you want to play, then I'll play with you." The black-clothed elder waved his hand, and suddenly, twenty peak Houtian realm warriors walked out from behind him.
Pointing at the twenty peak Houtian realm warriors, the black-clothed elder said, "I won't fight with you. If you can withstand their siege for half an hour, I'll let one student go. Hold on for an hour, and I'll let two students go until they're all gone. "
Xiu!
Han Feng didn't speak any nonsense. His figure flashed, and he landed in the middle of the twenty peak Houtian realm warriors.
After landing on the battlefield, Han Feng seemed to have changed into a different person. His eyes were sharp, and he repeatedly pointed his fingers. Streaks of cold light swept out from his fingertips.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The muffled sounds of flesh exploding continuously resounded in this area. These sounds were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. Every time these sounds rang out, a peak Houtian realm black-clothed martial artist would fall to the ground, his eyes dim and lifeless!
The sudden and unexpected turn of events caused everyone, including the black-clothed old man, to be stunned.
Especially the black-clothed elder. He didn't expect Han Feng to be so strong.
It should be known that Han Feng had been seriously injured before, and his Yuan Qi was almost depleted. Yet, he still had such combat strength.
This kind of strength was really terrifying.
Although Han Feng had displayed a strong combat strength at the beginning, forcing the black-clothed elder to retreat, as time went on, he gradually became physically exhausted. Every time he attacked, it consumed a lot of his energy.
If he hadn't intimidated the black-clothed elder at the beginning, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"Boring." After watching for a while, the black-clothed elder no longer paid attention to Han Feng. In his opinion, Han Feng was already dead.
Swish!
Suddenly, the black-clothed elder saw a young man in the middle of the crowd, and his face darkened.
With cold eyes, the black-clothed elder instantly sped up. Yuan Qi was released from his body, and dozens of Danwu College students were shaken away.
In the middle, there was a man in his twenties lying on the ground. His right leg was obviously broken.
After staring at the man for a while, the black-clothed elder asked, "What's your name?"
Ning Xuan's heart sank, but he still answered honestly, "Ning Xuan."
"Ning Xuan? What's your relationship with Ning Yue? "The black-clothed elder raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"Ning Yue is my younger brother," Ning Xuan said.
The black-clothed elder's eyes turned cold, and he ordered the dozens of peak Postliminary Realm martial artists behind him, "Except for Ning Xuan, kill everyone else!"
The moment the word "kill" fell, the martial artists behind the black-clothed elder instantly rushed out, like hungry dogs pouncing on food, toward the Danwu College students.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
These Danwu College students were already seriously injured. How could they resist the attack of the black-clothed martial artists?
Not long after, there were seven or eight corpses lying on the ground.
"Damn it!" In the distance, Han Feng cursed. He forced the two martial artists in front of him to retreat, and rushed back to help.
"There's no point in keeping you alive now, so you can die."
Han Feng had just forced the two martial artists to retreat when he felt a cold light coming toward his chest. Then, he felt a great pain in his chest. His vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
"Old fart, even if I become a malicious spirit, I will come back to seek revenge."
"The elders of Danwu College will not let you off!"
"Ah ah ah!"
