Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Xu Jingtian brandished a pair of teeth in his hand, tossed one to him, and said, "This is a treasure. This is the only valuable thing on the entire Taiqing Water Lion."

Lu Yikuang looked at the corpse of the Taiqing Water Lion with a pang of heartache; it had been utterly mangled by Xu Jingtian. He sighed, "What a pity for a third-tier ferocious beast, what a waste." He then examined the teeth in his hand and returned them to Xu Jingtian, saying, "I can't accept something for nothing, but you must keep these precious teeth safe."

"Sigh, I almost lost my life because of these teeth."

Xu Jingtian, of course, knew the value of those teeth. He gave a wry smile and had no choice but to put them into his storage bag. Since Lu Yikuang had said he didn't want them, he definitely wouldn't accept them, and there was no point in saying anything.

"Let's go, if we stay here, we might run into a ferocious beast!" Xu Jingtian joked.

"Heh, just like that, you're leaving?" Lu Yikuang said, but his eyes were fixed on the Crimson Rhinoceros on the other side.

Although the Crimson Rhinoceros is dead, all its treasures remain: its sharp horn, its tail, its fur, and its flesh are all extremely valuable materials, and are very expensive.

Xu Jingtian immediately understood and shook his head, saying, "What, you still want to mess with it? I've subdued this Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros before, so let it go."

Lu Yikuang, however, disagreed. He had a different perspective, saying, "Do you know how many people are desperate to get the pair of horns on the head of the Crimson Rhinoceros? You, on the other hand, don't even want them for free. Since the Crimson Rhinoceros is already dead, it'll just rot here and might end up benefiting those people again. We'll just take the horns from its head, which won't tarnish its reputation as a third-tier ferocious beast."

Lu Yikuang was telling the truth; countless disciples had risked their lives to obtain those sharp horns.

Xu Jingtian shook his head and smiled wryly, knowing he couldn't win the argument, so he didn't try to fight back. "Do whatever you want, but don't expect me to take action."

Lu Yikuang was overjoyed to receive permission. As he worked, he said, "Don't worry, we're not ungrateful. We don't want anything except its two horns." He used all his strength to remove the two horns from his magic weapon and tossed one to Xu Jingtian.

"I'll only feel at ease if we each have one."

Xu Jingtian chuckled upon hearing this and had no choice but to accept the sharp corner. He looked up at the sky; it was beginning to brighten, and dawn was approaching.

"My spiritual energy is almost depleted; I need to find a place to meditate and recover quickly." Lu Yikuang had also expended a lot of energy chasing after Xu Jingtian in the lake. He was full of admiration for Xu Jingtian's ability to still have energy after the battle. "Brother Jingtian, your dantian's spiritual energy is indeed abundant; you seem to be much stronger than me."

Xu Jingtian thought to himself that if it weren't for the prayer beads, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago, but he replied casually, "Okay, then let's go to a safe place and meditate properly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yikuang was taken aback and asked, "Where to?"

Xu Jingtian laughed and said, "Of course, it's the cave of the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros. That's the safest place right now."

"Hahaha, that's absolutely right." Lu Yikuang laughed heartily upon hearing this.

The Crimson Scale and Strange Rhinoceros Nest is located in the heart of the trial area, a place rarely visited by people, and the cave is very well hidden, making it very safe.

Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang returned inside, focusing intently on their meditation in the pool. Although the spiritual spring here was now ruined, its spiritual energy was still more abundant than outside, and its effects were somewhat better.

"Brother Jingtian, it seems you really are my lucky star. Not only have you saved me three times in a row, but being with you this year has brought me many times more gains than last year." Lu Yikuang couldn't hide his excitement as he meditated and said sincerely.

He reflected on his experiences over the past two days. If it weren't for Xu Jingtian, he might have become the meal of the Hundred-Refined Golden Tiger long ago. Although luck played a part in his two subsequent encounters with danger, the most important factor was Xu Jingtian, which allowed him to escape death.

Moreover, Lu Yikuang's gains were also considerable. He obtained the corpse of a Hundred-Refined Golden Tiger leader, a second-tier ferocious beast, along with a sharp horn from a Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros. This time, he was guaranteed to be among the top three outer disciples in the trial.

Needless to say, Xu Jingtian was quite satisfied with the trial and gained a lot, especially the treasures from the third-tier ferocious beast, which were worth many times more than those from the second-tier ferocious beast. Although he didn't know how the other disciples fared in the trial, this was enough to move them.

But over the past two days, Xu Jingtian felt that his greatest gains were in his cultivation. Although he had experienced several dangerous situations, he had managed to turn each one into an opportunity, and his magic and martial arts skills had been honed, significantly improving his experience in combat.

But what excited him most wasn't these things, but rather that his most treasured rosary beads could actually resonate with him. This magical treasure always brought him surprises; if just one bead manifested its power, its help would be so significant. If the entire string of beads were to display its power, its influence would be immeasurable.

Therefore, Xu Jingtian valued these prayer beads highly and would not reveal this information to anyone.

The trial lasts only three days, and every disciple who enters for the trial must strictly abide by it. If they have not left the barrier by the end of the trial, they will be locked inside.

Three days is enough for disciples with lower cultivation levels to gather spiritual herbs on the outskirts of the trial. But for those cultivators who venture deep into the trial and into the central area, it is far too short. It takes a whole day to get here and back, and the rest of the time is spent fighting and recovering spiritual energy.

Therefore, those lucky disciples who encountered weaker ferocious beasts in the central area could hunt down a few of valuable ones, while those who were unlucky and encountered powerful ferocious beasts not only gained nothing but also lost their lives.

Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang were incredibly lucky, encountering two third-tier ferocious beasts – such opportunities are extremely rare.

The two meditated here for about half a day, and their spiritual energy recovered to a small extent.

As the light streaming in from outside intensified, Lu Yikuang said to Xu Jingtian, "My spiritual power has recovered by about half. How's yours?"

With the aid of his prayer beads, Xu Jingtian was naturally no worse than Lu Yikuang, but he had a much larger amount of spiritual liquid to store, and he had only recovered less than a third of it. It seemed that if his spiritual liquid were fully recovered, he would be several times stronger than Lu Yikuang. He could only smile wryly and say, "Mine is still far behind."

Lu Yikuang was surprised and said, "It seems that Brother Jingtian's skills are much deeper than mine. But if we don't set off now, it may be too late. The barrier will close by the time we get outside."

Xu Jingtian said, "Then let's set off now. We can recover once we get outside. We can't let important matters be delayed. As long as we don't encounter any more powerful beasts, we should be able to protect ourselves." He was confident that he had the Illusionary Wave Movement Technique and that there was no situation where he couldn't escape.

The two emerged from the cave one after the other and headed toward the trial barrier. Fortunately, they did not encounter any more powerful beasts along the way and were able to easily escape them. Finally, they arrived at the barrier exit before the trial ended.

"Brother Xu! I'm here!"

Li Wanruo was eagerly anticipating what was to come. When she first saw Xu Jingtian and his companion, she couldn't help but shout out excitedly.

"Yes, look, they're finally coming out!"

Gu Tianxing and Li Wanruo were already there at the trial barrier, and they were getting a little impatient.
