Chapter 152: Guest from the Mountain Peak

  The first update!

  ……

  It took a whole incense stick's worth of time for Chen Xiao to finish counting all the storage treasure artifacts, and as he gazed at the numerous treasures that filled the room with their brilliant glow, he couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

  Four hundred million kilograms of spiritual liquid!

  Two hundred and thirty pieces of low-grade magic treasures, seventy-seven pieces of medium-grade, twenty-one pieces of high-grade, and nine pieces of top-grade!

  Other various Gongfa Yu Jian sixty-two departments, various Dan medicine eighty-nine bottles, and some other Lingcai, minerals, rare treasures... dense and numerous, simply countless.

  "Heavenly windfall, indeed it is true that a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without nocturnal grass. These 4 million jin of spiritual liquid are enough for me to cultivate to the Yellow Court realm!" Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder, and immediately shifted his gaze to these searched-out yellow-grade treasures. After a quick glance, his eyebrows furrowed, because among these yellow-grade treasures, most were just some strange door-opening tools like bells, hammers, knives, and axes. There were only six top-grade flying swords, and an extreme-grade flying sword was even rarer, with only one piece!

  It seems that this time, he will be disappointed! Chen Xiao sighed, his eight handles of Xuanming flying swords and fifty-six handles of Huangjie top-grade flying swords were all destroyed in the Blood Infant Slaughter Immortal Array displayed by Mo Lingwei, the leader of the Magic Spirit Guards. In terms of value, it was even more than these searched Huangjie treasures!

  Especially those eight handles of Xuanming flying swords, which were obtained from the Nanyue Ming domain, a set of Huangjie extreme treasures, extremely precious. Now they are damaged and lost, which makes him heartbroken. He had originally hoped to get some surprises from these searched treasures, but who would have thought that among these treasures, there were only six Huangjie upper-grade flying swords and one extreme-grade flying sword?

  At present, Chen Xiao's strongest killing move, apart from the Starry Sky Great Hand Seal, is the Xuanfeng Liuguang Sword Array. However, to exert the full power of the Xuanfeng Liuguang Sword Array, sixty-four flying swords are required to be deployed, and their quality cannot be lower than top-grade yellow rank. As a result, he has no choice but to consider repurchasing some flying swords to replenish his stock.

  Of course, he had bought two sets of top-grade flying swords in Lian Hai City, one set with 56 handles which was now damaged, and the other set with 64 handles was for his younger brother Chen Hao to buy, and he couldn't use it himself.

  Fortunately, the total value of all the treasures on the ground was quite considerable. Exchanged for spiritual liquid, it would be more than enough to buy sixty-four top-grade yellow flying swords.

  Splash!

  Chen Xiao waved his sleeve robe and put all the treasures on the ground into the pagoda, without hesitation, he began to cultivate.

  This time's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition made him gain a lot, and also made him fully recognize his own strength. Perhaps he can easily kill ordinary Zi Fu cultivators, defeat Huang Ting cultivators, or perhaps escape from the hands of Two Instruments Golden Elixir Realm cultivators, but once against Nirvana Realm cultivators, he is completely powerless to resist.

  Just thinking about the scene where he was surrounded by Su Zhen Tian and four other Nirvana cultivators, Chen Xiao really didn't want to experience that kind of despair, helplessness, and confusion again.

  Moreover, he is now living in the Liuyun Sword Sect, relying entirely on the prestige of Beiheng. Once he loses this protection, his situation in Longyuan City will become precarious again.

  It's not just because of the four major enemies, Su Family, Cang Family, Xingluo Palace and Wanyun Academy, but more importantly, he has an additional treasure on his body that countless people covet!

  An innocent man is not guilty, but if he has a jade pendant in his bosom, he will be guilty. Chen Xuan's understanding of this sentence can be said to be extremely profound. He even suspects that if Beiheng also has the intention of taking this divine instrument, he will not be able to resist at all, unless he hands it over, otherwise it will be death.

  So, whether it's for survival or to keep this divine artifact in hand, working hard to improve one's own strength is the top priority!

  Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the straw mat, his mind stirred, and the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle flew directly into his mouth. Under the guidance of the "Ice Crane Scripture", it quickly circulated throughout his body.

  Rumble!

  In the Zifu space, the huge True Yuan Lake suddenly went crazy and started rolling violently. The ice crystal-like Xuan Ice True Yuan began to surge and expand at an extremely rapid speed. The Zifu Great Lake instantly became bigger and deeper, and the six crystal-clear stars suspended above the lake also became more dazzling and radiant, echoing each other and emitting endless brilliant light.

  Expansion!

  Expanding wildly!

  Now Chen Tang has six million catties of spiritual liquid on his body, which is the thickest family foundation. He doesn't have to worry about being in a difficult situation where a clever woman can't cook without rice.

  In this way, 10,000 jin of spiritual liquid, 50,000 jin of spiritual liquid... all turned into a majestic and thick true yuan that poured into the Zifu Great Lake, constantly refining, washing, and expanding. Chen Xiao's strength also increased bit by bit at a visible rate, rising step by step.

  Long ago in the depths of the Southern Barbarian's mountains, Chen Ting had once lamented that if not for insufficient spiritual liquid, he could have broken through to the Yellow Court realm in one go. The reason was simple: his divine soul power, Dao heart, and comprehension of the Heavenly Way had all surpassed the scope of his own cultivation. Among them, his divine soul power was already comparable to that of a Two Instruments Golden Elixir cultivator! For other cultivators, breaking through realms might be fraught with difficulties, but for Chen Ting, as long as he accumulated enough true yuan, his realm would ascend smoothly, advancing rapidly and triumphantly.

  Breaking through the boundary and getting to the bottom of it, it's just enhancing the divine soul, enlightening the way, and tempering the mind. When these three aspects have accumulated enough, taking in spiritual liquid for cultivation will make it hard not to advance.

  50,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid!

  One hundred thousand catties of spiritual liquid!

  200,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid!

  Whoosh! In the vast Purple Mansion Lake, a massive wave suddenly surged up to the sky, and above the lake, another resplendent True Origin Star appeared. The Seventh Boundary of the Purple Mansion Realm!

  If this scene were to be seen by other cultivators, they would definitely be shocked, because 200,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid was enough for an ordinary purple mansion cultivator to advance three realms, yet Chen Tai only advanced one realm...

  This is the wonderful effect of practicing "Bing He Quan". This rare and precious Qi-refining technique has made Chen Xuan's Zifu Dahai much wider and deeper than ordinary Zifu practitioners, and the accumulated true yuan is also extremely pure and majestic. The amount of spiritual liquid consumed is naturally several times that of ordinary Zifu practitioners, which is why Chen Xuan's foundation is now as solid as a rock, and his future cultivation path will be exceptionally smooth.

  After all, opening the Purple Mansion is to lay the foundation for cultivation, and the deeper the foundation, the greater the achievements that will be obtained in the future, and the power that can be controlled will also rise with it, becoming unparalleled.

  Wow!

  After advancing to the Seventh Star of the Violet Palace, Chen Xiao still didn't stop for a moment, continuing his cultivation. He forgot about time and everything around him, fully immersing himself in the profound realm of growing power, with no distractions, forgetting both himself and the world.

  It was unknown how long had passed when Chen Xiao suddenly woke up from his cultivation, and in the instant he opened his eyes, a flash of dazzling light quietly flashed by.

  Wow!

  Chen Yao lightly spat out a stream of air, like a sharp arrow shooting out, and with a loud "pa" sound, it pierced through the wall ten feet away, creating a hole.

  Breathing like an arrow, Zifu is full!

  Chen Xiao stood up, and his whole demeanor became even more ethereal and otherworldly, as if he was about to be blown away by a gentle breeze and ascend into the air, with an aura of clarity and purity that seemed to emanate from within and without, exuding an air of mystical elegance.

  "Advancing to the Seventh Star of the Purple Mansion consumed 200,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid, the Eighth Star of the Purple Mansion consumed 400,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid, and the Ninth Star of the Purple Mansion consumed a full 1,000,000 kilograms of spiritual liquid... With my current strength, if I were to unleash the 'Wind Flowing Light Sword Array' again, I could do it ten times without issue. Even if I didn't use the 'Stardust Great Seal', I could easily break through Su Jiao's 'Three Water Chess Lattice Array'!" Chen Xiao felt the surging power within his Purple Mansion and nodded in satisfaction.

  "Tai Shang Shi Shu Zu, heard Xuan Shi Shu Zu and the heads of the Duan Mu, Du, and Song families have come to pay their respects." Just then, a gentle and respectful female voice came from outside.

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, pushed open the door and went out, only to see a woman in a light yellow dress standing there, elegant and refined, with an otherworldly air about her.

  "Oh, how many days have I been in seclusion?" Chen Xiao asked.

  "Reporting to the Supreme Master Uncle, it's been a whole month now." Wang Wan said with her head down, and as she spoke, her heart suddenly started racing wildly because she keenly sensed that compared to a month ago, this Supreme Master's brother had made a huge leap in his cultivation. The aura emanating from him was so vast that it gave her the feeling of facing a boundless ocean.

  A month? Chen Xiao was taken aback once again, and hadn't expected that just as he had started cultivating, a whole month had already passed. As the saying goes, "In the mountains, there is no concept of time, and one doesn't know the passing of years." It's indeed like this.

  "Hmm, how long have they been here?" Chen Xiao gathered his thoughts and said as he walked towards the main hall.

  "You've been here once when I was in seclusion, and this is already your third visit." Wang Wan hastily ran to catch up, answering quickly.

  As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the main hall.

  At this moment, in the main hall of Kexin Peak, there were not only Wen Xuan Zhenren, Du Wuyuan, the master of the Du family, Song Wenchong, the master of the Song family, and Duanmu Yun Kong, the master of the Duanmu family, but also Chen Hao, Du Qingxi, Song Lin, and Duanmu Ze.

  Next to them, the inner disciples of the sect served tea and poured wine, offering celestial fruits and fine wines. The large main hall did not seem empty and quiet, but instead exuded a lively atmosphere.
