Becoming an Immortal Starts with a Hundredfold Increase

Li Lang pushed through the crowd, and his gaze immediately sharpened when he saw the scene before him.

In the center of the crowd, Wang Ergou and the others stood with their hands hanging down and their heads bowed.

Everyone's body was trembling incessantly, as if they were under immense pressure.

Just then.

poof...

poof...

The two people fell to the ground one after the other, completely losing consciousness.

As the two men fell, Li Lang then noticed two more people standing in front of them.

One of them was Gao Ning.

He stood behind a young man, half a step away, and looked at Wang Ergou and the others with a sneer.

The young man was wearing a cross-collar robe with a dark pattern on the body, in which the character "Qiao" was faintly visible in the sunlight. He wore a cotton belt and a cinched undergarment. He stood with his hands behind his back, his neck slightly raised, and a sinister look between his brows.

Seeing that the two looked somewhat alike, Li Lang's eyes flickered, and he instantly remembered someone Wang Ergou had mentioned.

In the central courtyard of the martial arts training ground, Gao Jie.

"After beating the young one, the old one comes along?" Li Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly. This kind of clichéd plot had actually happened to him.

Gao Ning saw Li Lang and tugged at Gao Jie's sleeve.

He gestured with his eyes to the back of the crowd.

Gao Jie turned his gaze to Li Lang, his imposing aura subsiding.

Immediately, Wang Ergou and the others breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on their knees and breathing heavily.

Wang Ergou followed Gao Jie and Gao Ning's gaze and looked behind him.

"Brother Lang?"

Wang Ergou strode up to Li Lang, his face pale and drenched in sweat; his rough linen collar was already soaked through.

He wiped his sweat and said anxiously, "Don't be impulsive, you must hold back, patience will calm things down..."

Before Wang Ergou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout from behind.

"Get out of here!"

Gao Jie and Gao Ning walked slowly over, and were less than ten steps away from Li Lang.

Li Lang narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, they came for me.

He reached out and pulled Wang Ergou aside.

The three faced off from a distance.

In an instant, the entire room fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on the three of them.

Some servants and maids who were passing by also gathered around.

A gentle breeze swept in, stirring up a layer of dust on the ground.

Gao Ning sneered, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

Gao Jie, on the other hand, never took Li Lang seriously, and even when he looked at him, his eyes were full of contempt.

Sudden.

The wind seemed to have stopped.

next second.

Li Lang felt a powerful pressure surging towards him, pressing down hard on his chest as if struck by a force as heavy as ten thousand pounds.

"Well……"

There was no sound in my ears except for the violent beating of my heart, which vibrated like a drumbeat on my eardrums.

Li Lang hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to resist, but found that everything in his body except his thoughts had been completely imprisoned.

Even breathing became difficult and sluggish.

Gao Jie slowly took a step forward.

The pressure intensified, and Li Lang found his vision blurring. His bones could no longer withstand the force, and his whole body trembled. Sweat poured from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and onto his collar.

Gao Jie took another step forward.

Li Lang felt his knees begin to bend involuntarily, and even his head began to slowly lower. His muscles were tense and in great pain, as if he would kneel down at any moment.

He gritted his teeth, his vision already blurred, but he still stared intently at the figure in front of him, his eyes showing no sign of retreat, only an unyielding stubbornness and tenacity.

click!

The stone bricks beneath their feet shattered with a crash.

Li Lang's body swayed slightly, but he still stood there upright.

A person cannot live without a backbone!

You can lower your head to avoid disaster, but you must never kneel down to beg for survival!

Just then, Li Lang sensed a commotion in the crowd.

next second.

The oppressive force, as heavy as Mount Tai, suddenly vanished without warning.

Without external support, Li Lang's body went limp, and he staggered.

Wang Ergou quickly stepped forward to help Li Lang up.

Li Lang looked up and saw Gao Jie's gaze fixed on the back of the crowd.

He subconsciously followed Gao Jie's gaze.

On the road between the north and south.

Qiao Susu wore a light blue embroidered robe with subtle gold thread embroidery, the hem of which trailed on the ground. She walked forward slowly with an elegant demeanor.

Yun Que and the other maids nodded and followed behind.

When passing by, Qiao Susu only glanced at it briefly before turning away.

"Oh!"

Gao Jie withdrew his gaze, looked Li Lang up and down, and his face showed not only contempt but also a hint of mockery.

He shook his head slightly, then turned and left.

This……

They're leaving already?

Wang Ergou stared blankly at Gao Jie's retreating figure.

Such a loud thunder, yet not a single drop of rain fell?

Li Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

It turned out to be the case.

Neither Gao Ning nor Gao Jie today has ever been targeting me personally.

They kept causing trouble for me, mainly because they wanted to use me to test Qiao Susu's reaction.

Li Lang not only didn't complain about Qiao Susu's indifferent attitude, but instead thought that this young lady had some brains.

I would have done the same thing if I were in that situation.

What the East Wing needs right now is time and patience.

With the Qiao family patriarch still in seclusion, now is indeed not the best time for the two institutions to completely break off relations.

at this time.

The crowd dispersed one after another.

Gao Ning and the people from the West Courtyard have returned to the outer courtyard of the martial arts arena and begun their training.

"Brother Lang, are you alright?" Wang Ergou helped Li Lang up, his face full of concern.

Li Lang waved his hand. "Let's go!"

The group helped each other and gradually returned to the outer courtyard of the martial arts arena.

After each finding a place, some healed their wounds, while others cultivated their skills.

Li Lang found a corner and sat cross-legged.

Qiao Susu's husband's status puts her in the middle of the power struggle between the East and West wings.

Although there is no immediate danger to their lives, as time goes on and the conflict intensifies, the Qiao family will be in grave danger.

The only way to survive is to become stronger.

Only by becoming the strong can one instill fear in both sides.

Li Lang reached down and touched his waist.

The storage bag shimmered with light, and a bottle of pills appeared in Li Lang's hand.

In the past, because the cultivation technique was of too low grade, he was stuck at the third level of Qi Refining perfection, only half a step away from breaking through.

Yesterday, Qiao Family Kung Fu had already entered the basics. With the help of elixirs, he might be able to take that final half-step today.

Li Lang opened the porcelain bottle and tilted it gently.

A round pill rolled into his palm.

He picked up the pill and put it in his mouth.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.

The potent medicinal power immediately spread from his abdomen.

Li Lang quickly formed hand seals and activated the Yang Nourishing Essence Technique to draw the essence of the sun into his body.

The medicinal properties spread through the meridians within the body.

As the medicine's effects reached every corner of my body, I could clearly feel my spiritual energy steadily increasing.

At this time.

Li Lang's mind raced.

After activating the amplification, comprehension, divine sense, and spiritual power can all be tripled. So what about taking pills?

Thinking about this...

Li Lang did not hesitate at all.

A soft sip in my heart.

Open the meridians—open!

With the increase starting.

Li Lang could clearly feel the medicinal power being refined and transformed into spiritual energy at an exponentially faster rate.

Not only that.

The absorption efficiency of refined pills has also been greatly improved.

In the past, my spiritual root was not of the highest grade, so I could only absorb 30% of the medicinal power of pills. Overdosing on them would not only cause toxicity but also affect the absorption of medicinal power.

After the amplification is activated, the absorption efficiency of the pills approaches 90%.

boom!

The spiritual power within Li Lang's body suddenly erupted.
