Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

He had five bottles of pills that were beneficial for improving his cultivation, with a total value of about three thousand contribution points.

After refining everything, Jiang Ming felt his spiritual power becoming increasingly solid, and he was not far from reaching the late stage of the seventh rank.

Unfortunately, of the first batch of rare treasures and rare herbs released, the elixir was consumed by Xu Youwei, and the medicinal herbs were snatched away by Nangong Yue.

The only thing left is a strange box; its purpose is unclear, yet it arouses great anticipation.

I couldn't wait to find out what was inside.

"Hmm? This is a Heavenly Secret Box, it's very expensive. How did Junior Brother Jiang obtain it?"

Looking back at Jiang Ming, Tuoba Youyou noticed the item and immediately came over curiously, taking the treasure from Jiang Ming's hand with her small hand.

After examining it carefully for a moment, he proactively pointed out how to open it: "It's very simple, just like a game, you move up, down, left, and right."

Simply arrange the black squares into a flower pattern.

Limited by his comprehension, Jiang Ming didn't understand for a moment.

He handed the black box to Tuoba Youyou and said readily, "Senior sister, please open it for me. If the contents are useless to me but beneficial to you, then I'll give it to you."

Looking up in surprise, Tuoba Youyou was a little embarrassed and quickly shook her head to refuse, "No, I can't accept something for nothing."

Junior Brother Jiang agreed to help me obtain the Mysterious Spirit Ointment; this is already an immense favor. How could I possibly accept it for nothing?

"Open it first," she urged in a low voice.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but be curious about what was in the box.

Nodding, she moved her little hands up, down, left, and right a few times, and the Heavenly Secret Box popped out with a click. Inside was a clean and tidy talisman.

It emitted a pale golden light, giving it a somewhat sacred appearance.

"A talisman!" Tuoba Youyou exclaimed, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, and patiently explained.

"This thing is an extremely powerful weapon. Unlike spirit talismans, talisman treasures can be used multiple times."

However, this talisman is of a low grade, and it can probably only unleash a single attack equivalent to the late stage of the seventh rank.

After that, it is necessary to use appropriate secret methods to recharge it, but unfortunately I am not proficient in the art of talismans and am powerless to do so.

Although it's a precious talisman, for now we can only use it as a life-saving talisman.

Holding the talisman, Jiang Ming seemed to be deep in thought, and then pulled it into Tuoba Youyou's slightly bulging collar without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Take this. Senior sister isn't good at fighting, so this will be perfect for protection."

If I get into trouble in battle and someone attacks you, just use your talisman to blast them away…

Shyly, Tuoba Youyou took out the talisman from her chest. Her eyes were like a clear spring. After hesitating for a long time, she lowered her head and accepted it.

"Since you trust me so much, I'll keep it for you. If you encounter any danger, I'll help you out immediately."

After this brief interlude, the two decided to take action.

After spending several days in the cave, Jiang Ming and Tuoba Youyou were both full of energy and spirit.

After much deliberation, Jiang Ming decided to lead the girl northward.

After all, this direction is close to the central area of ​​the Refining Secret Realm, and Foundation Establishment True Persons might allocate their precious resources there next.

After all, based on the experience of PUBG, being in the center of the circle is never a bad thing.

With Tuoba Youyou's intentional divination, the two traveled smoothly without encountering any danger.

Furthermore, guided by Chengtoutu, the two reaped considerable rewards.

call out!

A strange light flashed in mid-air, and Tuoba Youyou frowned, looking into the distance, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Junior Brother Jiang, that place is a bit far from us, do we still want to go?"

"Senior sister, please stay here and don't move. I'll go and observe the situation. I'll come back after one incense stick's time."

This means there's danger. If I haven't returned after an incense stick's time, come and help.

Having drafted a preliminary plan, Jiang Ming immediately set off.

At the same time, Tuoba Youyou took out a talisman from her bosom and cautiously hid in place. Worried that this was not enough to conceal her, she also used the imagery of the city wall soil.

It quietly erased the traces of its existence.

I carefully hid in the crevice of the rock and silently began to calculate the time.

Following the light, Jiang Ming indeed saw a jeweled box gradually descending from the sky.

Using the imagery of a large forest tree to conceal his presence, and seeing that more and more people were arriving, Jiang Ming sighed softly and turned to leave.

Judging from the current situation, the probability of successfully taking advantage of the chaos is very high, and the disciples from other sects have come as a group.

Once a conflict breaks out, Jiang Ming will be outnumbered and outmatched, and will inevitably suffer losses.

Just as he was about to leave, Nangong Yue's agile figure gradually approached from a distance.

Her arrival immediately aroused suspicion.

Frowning, she conjured an image of the vast ocean, shook her head, her pretty face turning cold, and explained in a chilling tone.

"I'm not here for the treasure. I sense a familiar presence around here, and I'm going to dig it out. Don't interfere."

Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he turned and left without daring to linger.

Although, with his current strength, he has nothing to fear from Nangong Yue, and their fight would at most end in a draw.

However, this place is crowded with people and eyes. Most of the experts from the Five Spirits Sect and the powerful figures from various other sects have gathered here, and he accidentally got entangled with Nangong Yue.

Some people wanted to kick him when he was down, and Jiang Ming was completely caught off guard.

This crazy woman, why is she bothering to find me instead of fighting over the treasure!

As fellow supreme beings, under the overwhelming search of the vast ocean imagery, Nangong Yue keenly cast her gaze, and then her figure moved as fiercely as a dragon.

His brow furrowed, and he sneered, "Why are you running? Don't you even dare to settle things?"

Not in the mood to respond to her, Jiang Ming frowned as Nangong Yue drew closer and closer, already prepared for a confrontation.

We are about to arrive at the place we agreed to meet with Tuoba Youyou.

Unable to detect any trace of her presence, Jiang Ming sighed and fled helplessly into the distance.

Senior Sister Tuoba is usually calm and obedient, why is she acting so strangely this time? Could she have encountered danger?

No, I have a talisman in hand.

If she were in danger, I couldn't possibly be unaware.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, a golden light exploded behind her, and the powerful impact sent Nangong Yue flying.

It crashed into the mountain peak in a sorry state, smashing a large number of rocks.

With a sly smile, Tuoba Youyou looked smug and quickly urged Jiang Ming to run away, "Let's go, junior brother."

Don't let my seemingly dull appearance fool you; my elders always praise me for being quick-witted..."

With a touch of pride in his chin, Tuoba Youyou leaned closer, preparing to escape on Jiang Ming's white bone sword.

next second.

Jiang Ming suddenly darted out and charged straight at Nangong Yue.

Take advantage of her illness and kill her.

This is a fantastic opportunity that you absolutely cannot miss!

Otherwise, this woman will definitely be a problem for some time to come.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood in a disheveled state, Nangong Yue frowned deeply, her breath weak and listless. Clearly, the solid blow from the talisman had left her in great pain.

"You despicable scoundrel! I came here alone to challenge you without relying on any power, and this is how you treat me?"

With a cold snort, Nangong Yue was about to swallow the healing pill when, in the next second, the image of the Great Forest Wood attacked.

A jumble of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

I'm not injured, so I don't need any of these.

With a dashing air, she tossed away the top-grade healing pill, quickly regaining her senses with the imagery of the ocean. Nangong Yue looked at the pill that had rolled to Jiang Ming's feet.

My mood instantly plummeted.

If she were at her peak and on guard, Jiang Ming's image would have little effect on her, but now she is seriously injured.

She was completely unable to stop Jiang Ming's harassment.

In an instant, his mind was in turmoil, and he turned around to run away.

"Thick Earth Imprisons the Dragon!" she shouted softly.

Tuoba Youyou, who had just arrived, launched another attack, striking directly at the opponent's weak point. Countless earthen spears emerged from the ground.

The attack came from every angle, forming an inescapable net, forcing Nangong Yue to stop and focus all her energy on defense.

Senior sister doesn't show off, but her moves are surprisingly cunning.

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Ming was not about to let this opportunity slip by. He immediately took the opportunity to pursue and kill her, his large hand aimed straight for Nangong Yue's chest, looking like a vicious man about to disembowel her.

Having just endured the ordeal of the earthen cage, Nangong Yue's black training clothes were tattered, revealing large expanses of her delicate skin.

The most distressing thing is that the protective armor was also damaged.

If this continues, we'll likely suffer losses here today.

puff!

In her anger, Nangong Yue's injuries worsened. While waving her fist to stop Jiang Ming from tearing out her heart, she disregarded all decorum and tried to make peace, saying, "Wait, that's not fair."

As a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for being so insidious?

"Dare you let me leave this place so we can have a fair fight next time?"

You want to talk to me about fairness?

Jiang Ming scoffed and ignored the accusation.

He loudly instructed Tuoba Youyou, "Senior Sister, put more pressure on her. I will definitely kill her today!"

"You forced me to do this!" With red eyes, Nangong Yue roared. Seeing that Tuoba Youyou was about to make trouble again, Nangong Yue no longer held back.

In an instant, his clothes exploded into pieces.

Its form suddenly changed, revealing itself to be that of a dragon!

Demon-transforming magic?

No, she was originally a demon, and this was a last resort for her to fight in her true form.

The dragon's tail swept across, and a fierce wind howled instantly. Sensing a strong threat, Jiang Ming quickly retreated.

Then the Heavenly Fire Formation was unleashed in an attempt to temporarily halt the opponent's offensive.

She spat out the demon core, and terrifying spiritual power condensed into a sphere around Nangong Yue's mouth.

Frowning, Tuoba Youyou sensed something was wrong and her expression immediately changed, her eyes filled with panic. "Junior Brother Jiang, let's go quickly."

Otherwise, if we're locked onto by the dragon's might, we won't be able to dodge this attack.

Despite feeling that there was a real chance to turn the tables.

But Jiang Ming did not doubt Tuoba Youyou's judgment.

Although she is mostly taciturn, she rarely makes a mistake when she expresses her opinion.

After all, the background of the previous dynasty's royal family allowed her to accumulate a lot of experience that ordinary people did not know.

Soaring into the air on his sword, Jiang Ming pulled Tuoba Youyou away. The next second, a pillar of spiritual energy swept out from behind them.

In an instant, an entire mountain range was toppled!

That move just now definitely broke through the mid-stage range and reached the power of the late stage or even the perfect stage.

He truly deserves to be the most outstanding disciple of the Water Moon Sect.

This is a really strong trump card.

After Jiang Ming walked away, Nangong Yue, naked and disheveled, collapsed to the ground and struggled to crawl over to pick up healing pills.

That bottle of pills was specially made for her by the Shuiyue Sect. It could instantly restore her to 80% of her condition, but in return, her body would suffer a strong backlash.

However, since she was a dragon, this price was negligible to her, as long as she could take the pill.

This injury is nothing to her.

Once she recovers from her injuries and makes a comeback, she'll definitely make...

Huh? Why is the bottle empty?

!!!

"You beast, that damned obstacle of perception! He took the elixir back then..."

He hurriedly took out ordinary healing pills from his storage bag and swallowed them.

Nangong Yue hurriedly changed her clothes to cover herself, and then quickly left the place.

The commotion we just caused was really too big.

She worried that if she didn't leave soon, someone would come and take advantage of her misfortune.

Where there is life, there is hope.

His younger brother also has this elixir. If they can combine it, they will surely be able to avenge their previous humiliation.

With this in mind, Nangong Yue gradually finalized her plan.

Next, she must find Nangong Yang.

She just didn't know why her usually reliable younger brother hadn't come to see her this time...

……

at that time.

We found a quiet cave to rest in.

Jiang Ming was somewhat taken aback as he examined the three pills in his hand.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a large pill; just by looking at it, he knew its medicinal power was extraordinary.

"Phew, thank goodness we left quickly, otherwise if she had used her dragon's might, we would have been seriously injured, or worse, we might have died on the spot."

After explaining to Jiang Ming what Dragon Might was, Tuoba Youyou rubbed his chin as he examined the large pill in Jiang Ming's hand.

He murmured, "Even though the pills of the demon race are precious, they are difficult for humans to refine."

After all, the human body cannot withstand such strong medicinal power.

This thing is of little use, but it's fortunate that it wasn't left for Nangong Yue, otherwise she would have recovered to her original state in a short time.

This will have many disadvantages for us.

I doubt that human cultivators can't refine it.

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Ming said nothing more, sat cross-legged on the ground, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

"This time we suffered a huge loss. We used the talisman but didn't get any treasure. Apart from seriously injuring Nangong Yue, we gained nothing else."

"It's alright, it's only been a month, there will be other opportunities later."

The most urgent task is to help you improve your cultivation level. Unfortunately, to break through to the late stage of the seventh rank, you will need at least 5,000 contribution points.

I don't have enough pills to give you, and I've given you everything I had on me. Now we only have one path left to take.

Continue searching for resources to help you break through your cultivation level!

It's the same old story, why the sudden outburst of passion?

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded, then tentatively asked, "How exactly do you plan to do this? What are your plans, Senior Sister? Why don't you tell me?"

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and Tuoba Youyou, abandoning her usual calm and composed demeanor, spoke solemnly.

"It's too slow to gather resources on our own; the combined capabilities of the two of us are limited."

Relying solely on individual efforts is simply a drop in the ocean.

Next, I'll divine the movements of the others; let's just go for it.

"Are you confident? I saw many disciples traveling in groups. If a fight breaks out, we might be outnumbered." After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Ming voiced his concerns.

A hint of confidence appeared in her eyes as the girl said confidently, "Don't worry, this is a very important matter, I won't make any mistakes..."
