World version update

Chapter 56 Well-informed
What Lu Yan took out was the sunstone he obtained from the apocalyptic version.

Lu Yan was not very clear about the origin of the Sun Stone. The three in his hand were also obtained from the scavengers in the apocalyptic version. They were treasures condensed from the purest solar spiritual energy.

As early as when Lu Yan broke through to the middle stage of Qi training, he realized that the spiritual energy of the sun could purify spiritual power. Lu Yan's successful breakthrough to the middle stage of Qi training was largely dependent on the spiritual energy of the sun.

If not, considering that Lu Yan had accumulated poison from the pills he had taken in recent months, it would certainly not be easy for him to break through to the middle stage of Qi training.

When Ji Xingyao mentioned that her magic power was eroded and the foundation was damaged because of breathing in polluted spiritual energy, Lu Yan immediately thought of the sunstone formed by the spiritual energy of the sun.

The spiritual energy of the sun can purify magic power, and as the spiritual energy born from heaven and earth, it has no side effects. It is definitely the most suitable treasure to solve the erosion of Ji Xingyao's magic power.

In fact, when Lu Yan learned about Ji Xingyao's situation, he still had a little idea in his mind. He planned to find a suitable opportunity to give it to Ji Xingyao in exchange for a favor.

But unexpectedly, Ji Xingyao knew that there was no hope for her future, so she decided to go all out and use Xie Yun as an excuse to start a life-and-death sword fight to kill all her disciples who participated in Qinggu Market. This immediately scared Lu Yan.

If Ji Xingyao really did this, even if everything was within the rules recognized by the sect, it would inevitably lead to more trouble.

How many people who can become a direct disciple have no power behind them?
Not to mention that Ji Xingyao has exhausted her potential in the eyes of the outside world. Even at her peak, she might not be able to withstand the suppression from various forces.

By then, the thigh that Lu Yan had just clung to would immediately become a trouble that everyone would try to avoid.

In order to prevent things from deteriorating to this point, Lu Yan decisively took out the sunstone, wanting to give Ji Xingyao some hope.

As long as she could recover the foundation that had been eroded by the polluted spiritual energy, she would still have hope of being promoted to the Golden Core Realm, and she would not have to damage her future by starting a life-and-death sword fight.

Dozens of miles away, the moment Ji Xingyao's sword intent seed exploded, Xie Yun felt as if his whole body was falling into an ice cave. A great cultivator in the early stage of foundation building actually fell directly from mid-air.

Xie Yun, who was in a miserable state in the jungle, no longer had the superiority he had in Qinggu Market. At this moment, his heart was already filled with fear.

He was promoted to the foundation-building stage and became an inner disciple only last year. He missed Ji Xingyao's peak period. He had only heard of the name of this true sister from the discussions among his fellow brothers and sisters.

During this trip to Qinggu Market, several direct disciples made solemn promises, but most of the senior brothers and sisters were timid about the matter, which made Xie Yun quite disdainful.

He accepted this mission and attached the utmost importance to this talented genius who had exhausted his potential. If anything went wrong, he would immediately use his escape technique to flee from Qinggu Market.

But he never expected that Ji Xingyao could lock him across dozens of kilometers, and he didn't even know what means the other party used.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the terrifying sword intent only locked onto him and did not cause any substantial damage.

He could only sit there and wait for Ji Xingyao's judgment.

"Sun Stone?"

In the cave area of ​​Qinggufang City, Ji Xingyao had already forgotten about Xie Yun and was looking at the prismatic gem in her hand.

Naturally, her powerful spiritual sense at the peak of the foundation-building stage could sense that the prismatic gem contained an extremely blazing spiritual energy, as if it was born in the sun.

As a true disciple of Qingwu Sect, Ji Xingyao is knowledgeable, but he has never seen such a special spiritual energy.

“This sun stone is condensed from the spiritual energy of the sun. If you breathe in and out the spiritual energy of the sun into your body, you can refine your magic power and make it more pure.

However, the sun is extremely fierce, so when breathing in the sun’s spiritual energy, it is best to blend it into a large amount of spiritual energy to avoid direct breathing and burns.”

Before Lu Yan finished speaking, Ji Xingyao's eyes suddenly focused, and she actually began to absorb the spiritual energy inside the sunstone.

The orange prismatic crystal dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then Ji Xingyao's spiritual energy surged. Lu Yan seemed to be facing a small volcano, with a hot breath blowing in his face. Ji Xingyao, who was breathing in the spiritual energy of the sun, felt it more directly.

She could clearly feel that as the sun's spiritual energy entered her body, she seemed to have swallowed a sun. The scorching sun continued to burn the magic power in her body that had long been contaminated, and wisps of gray air were ignited under the scorching sun.

Sweat soaked her clothes and clung to her graceful body, but Ji Xingyao had no time to take care of them.

"Any more?"

Ji Xingyao asked Lu Yan.

Lu Yan immediately took out the remaining two sunstones and gave them to Ji Xingyao.

"I only have these two left."

Ji Xingyao took the sun stone, waved her right hand and took off her veil, revealing her cold and aloof face, and sat down cross-legged in the cave.

The sun stone held in his hand dimmed rapidly, and the large amount of solar spiritual energy contained in it washed over his meridians.

The fire in the Great Sun furnace was burning brightly, and Ji Xingyao was using the fire of the Great Sun to refine herself.

As the only bystander, Lu Yan watched Ji Xingyao practicing.

If an ordinary cultivator were to see the Jade Fairy, who was soaking wet and revealing her true face, he would most likely be shaken.

However, Lu Yan completely ignored it and focused his attention on the changes in Ji Xingyao's spiritual energy.

This is not because Lu Yan is a gentleman, but because he has already appreciated Ji Xingyao's figure in the urban version.

As a former internet celebrity, Ji Xingyao naturally had to take some photos.

In the circle of internet celebrities, Ji Xingyao’s photos can definitely be called conservative, with the most showing her as a maid wearing black silk stockings, or wearing a cheongsam or evening gown.

But in the fairy-tale version, she would definitely be beaten to the level of a demon witch.

Precisely because he had seen it too many times, Lu Yan did not react at all to the scene at the moment. Instead, he carefully recorded the changes in Ji Xingyao's spiritual energy as a reference for the future use of the Sun Stone.

This practice lasted for half an hour.

Ji Xingyao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to have taken off a heavy shackle and felt unprecedented comfort.

Looking inward, he found that the signs of erosion of his own magical power were still severe, but it was much better than before when the foundation was almost completely destroyed.

A full one-fifth of her magic power was restored to its original state under the burning of the sun's spiritual energy. After this baptism, it was even purer than her previous peak state. The semi-solidification of her magic power almost reached the limit of condensing the golden elixir.

If the other four-fifths of the magic power were refined in the same way, Ji Xingyao would even have the confidence to break through to the Golden Elixir realm without the help of the Five Elements.

She slowly stood up from the ground, forming a spell with her hands, and the sweat and dust on her body were cleaned away by magic. Ji Xingyao once again returned to her cold and aloof fairy demeanor.

Noticing that there was no distracting thoughts in Lu Yan's eyes, Ji Xingyao looked at Lu Yan with more and more satisfaction.

"The Sunstone is very helpful to me in refining my magic power. I want to know where this natural treasure comes from?"
