Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

The purpose of this trip has been achieved. The only shortcoming is that I didn't have the chance to witness the full power of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

It's alright, though. At least it confirms that in front of me, those at the late stage of Qi Refining have absolutely no power to resist, and they don't even have time to make an effective counterattack. No matter how strong they are, it's all for nothing if they can't unleash their full potential.

As long as I get close, these Qi Refining cultivators don't cultivate their bodies, killing them won't be much more troublesome than killing a chicken.

These Qi cultivators might not be slow to react, after all, the old man in front of them was only at the late stage of Qi Induction, while they were at the second stage of Body Refinement. The fact that he could condense protective magic power in front of them meant that his reaction was already quite fast.

However, if one only cultivates magical power without tempering the body, the physical body will be too weak, and even if one can sense something, it will be difficult to deal with it in time.

To put it bluntly, a stronger physical body makes hand seals and gestures much faster. Focusing solely on internal energy without cultivating the body will ultimately result in imperfection.

Of course, only cultivating the body without cultivating the Qi is far inferior. Cultivating the physical body, magical power, and spiritual soul simultaneously is the true method!

"I am a reasonable person. This trip is only for revenge, and I will not involve others."

"We haven't made a move on the remaining few, so we won't bother you."

"Goodbye!"

Chu Xuan's figure flickered, drifting past like a ghost, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Where did this freak come from? His physical body is so strong, and he's even faster than a demon beast!

How could the human body be that strong?

Could this person be a demon in the Yuan Dan realm in human form?

That's possible; aside from demons, no human body is that strong.

Thinking of this, the old man shuddered instantly. He had just escaped death. If he was not mistaken, that was a great demon at the Yuan Dan realm.

Even if the sect's patriarch were to come, it wouldn't necessarily guarantee a victory.

······

Chu Xuan, who was standing to the side, had long since returned to the corner where he had been. He had no idea that he had been identified as a Yuan Dan Realm Great Demon.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was inspecting his spoils of war.

I only glanced at it briefly before; there are still many things that need to be analyzed in detail.

After a moment, Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, fifty-three low-grade spirit stones, six bottles of unknown pills, twelve talismans, and a magic sword, similar to the magic sword Chu Xuan had previously seized, also a wooden sword.

The materials and shapes are almost identical, so they must have come from the same place.

As for the rest, there were some clothes and jewelry. It is worth mentioning that there was also a token in the storage bag, with the words "Flower Queen" written on the front and the three small characters "Fengyue Tower" on the back.

Looks like she has a side business; no wonder she's so fat.

Chu Xuan had seen Fengyue Tower during the day. It occupied four two-story buildings on the south street of the market. Moreover, these four-story buildings were just the facade. In the alley behind the buildings, there were at least a dozen courtyards that also belonged to Fengyue Tower.

This is one of the few places for leisure in Qingyuefang.

Unexpectedly, the garrison disciple in the market, a genuine outer disciple of the Xuanming Sect (although not on the official roster), has a completely different new identity behind the scenes.

However, since we've already made this connection, I have no choice but to send you on your way.

Shaking his head, Chu Xuan leaned against the wall and slowly closed his eyes. However, he did not go to sleep immediately, but instead prepared to secretly cultivate the Xuanhuang Refining Spirit Method.

In such an environment, I certainly can't rest. After renting a courtyard tomorrow, I'll pawn these two swords, buy some resources, and head back to the Federation to prepare a large formation.

Furthermore, since I am exploring secret realms for the Federation, I naturally need to obtain support from the Federation. The immortal artifact is too powerful for me to handle, so I can exchange it for other forms of support.

Anyway, I have the Awakening Jade, so four hours of sleep a day is enough. Even if I don't sleep all day, with the Awakening Jade, I won't feel lethargic. At most, it's just like staying up all night, which won't have a big impact.

Chu Xuan hadn't even cultivated for two minutes when a powerful aura came from afar, followed by a voice as loud as thunder: "Who dares to trespass on my Xuanming Sect's market!"

Chu Xuan's eyes snapped open. Sure enough, the guardian disciple of the market had a way to contact his true self. Fortunately, he had been prepared and left early.

With this angry shout, the entire market was instantly awakened. Footsteps echoed from the surrounding courtyards, clearly indicating that everyone had been alerted. However, even though everyone was awake, no one dared to venture out of their residence.

The entire market was still deserted, with not a single person in sight.

Chu Xuan took all of this into account. The low-level cultivators of this realm had long since ingrained caution deep within their blood.

However, this also reflects the danger of this world. I haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet and am still at the bottom of the cultivation world. I need to be more careful in the future.

Closer to home!

A streak of light pierced the sky from the north, revealing a cyan spirit boat. On board stood a solemn-faced middle-aged man, surrounded by crimson spiritual light, whose intense heat could be felt from afar.

Dao Platform Realm cultivator!

Moreover, they were not ordinary Dao Platform Realm cultivators. When the sect's market was attacked, the first to arrive were definitely not just pretty faces; they were all sect experts skilled in combat.

At the very least, they are experts at the mid-stage of the Dao Platform Realm, and they are skilled in combat.

Among the five elements, only metal and fire are most adept at combat. The intense magical power emanating from the newcomer speaks volumes.

I wonder who is stronger or weaker between this person and myself?

The thought was quickly suppressed by Chu Xuan. It wasn't worth it. There were many ways to understand the power of a Dao Platform cultivator; there was no need to choose the most dangerous one.

Even if you have to fight against a Dao Platform cultivator, it's best to choose a cultivator who has just entered the Dao Platform, and preferably one who cultivates wood or water attributes—that's the safest option.

"Reporting to the elder, the visitor has left!"

The gates of the garrison headquarters opened, and a large group of garrison disciples, led by an elderly man with gray hair, walked out and bowed to the middle-aged man in the void.

At the same time, figures appeared in many places in the market, converging on the garrison headquarters. In particular, an old man in a long robe stood out, moving much faster than the others.

There are two guardian deacons and eighty guardian disciples in the entire market, divided into two batches of eight teams, taking turns on duty.

These people are the disciples who are resting today.

"Have the thieves retreated?"

The middle-aged man's brows relaxed slightly as the spirit boat beneath his feet descended and landed in the garrison's mansion.

A moment later, in the main hall of the garrison, the middle-aged man sat imposingly in the main seat, with two garrison deacons at the late stage of Qi Refining standing before him.

"You mean, this person came seeking revenge, killed a Qi Refining Stage 3 outer sect disciple, and then left?"

"good!"
