A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

A hint of doubt flashed through the disciple's mind upon hearing Jiang Changyi's words...

What is the peak master regretting?

Is it a pity that the immortal sword was wasted in the hands of an outer disciple?

"Where does that disciple named Xu Xiao live?"

Jiang Changyi looked at the disciple in front of him and asked.

"He lives in...Cave Number Twenty on Tianling Peak!"

The disciple quickly replied, a suspicion flashing through his mind...

Is the Peak Master planning to target Xu Xiao?

Just for Meng Fan?

That can't be!

Jiang Changyi didn't care about what the disciple in front of him thought. After getting the information he wanted, he waved his hand and said.

"You...step back!"

"Yes, Peak Master!"

The disciple immediately got up and left, not daring to linger for even a moment...

When Jiang Changyi got angry earlier, he was almost scared to death.

After the disciple left, the room fell silent instantly...

Jiang Changyi's face also darkened.

"Xu Xiao... if you dare to injure Meng Fan, I will take your life!"

"Such an opportunity as obtaining a celestial-grade magical artifact is not something a junior like you could possibly possess. Hand it over..."

He muttered to himself, his cold voice carrying a murderous intent...

He took a step and his figure disappeared.

"Achoo..."

Inside Cave Number Twenty on Tianling Peak...

Ye Chen suddenly sneezed, waking himself from his cultivation. He rubbed his sore nose, looking puzzled...

"strangeness..."

"Who's thinking of me, Your Majesty?"

"Could it be... Qing'er?"

The thought of his younger sister, Ye Qing'er, immediately made Ye Chen's mood sink...

He was worried that Ye Qing'er might suffer a terrible fate and desperately wanted to save her, but his cultivation had not yet broken through to the Golden Core stage, and he was helpless...

Without reaching the Golden Core realm, let alone whether he has the ability to save people, Liu Ruyan is unlikely to keep her promise to tell him Ye Qing'er's whereabouts...

The world is so vast, for him to find Ye Qing'er is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Qing'er, wait for me, your brother will come to save you soon..."

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Looking down at the two remaining Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills in front of him, he reached out, grabbed them, and swallowed them without hesitation...

He activated the Supreme Induction Technique again, rapidly refining the medicinal power...

Strands of pure spiritual energy flowed into his dantian, swirling around the four-sided Dao platform, like countless streams converging into a vast ocean of spiritual energy, suddenly surging with waves...

"boom--"

The Four Directions Dao Platform underwent a transformation under the impact of spiritual energy, suddenly becoming brand new and even more imposing...

A violent aura surged from Ye Chen's body, as if he wanted to tear everything around him to shreds!

He suddenly opened his eyes and immediately suppressed his breathing...

The oppressive aura that had just surged forth vanished without a trace in an instant.

"call..."

Ye Chen immediately breathed a long sigh of relief...

Almost there, if they hadn't been able to control the surging spiritual energy, the room would have been shattered again...

After the spiritual energy within his body calmed down, Ye Chen sensed the changes in his dantian, and a look of joy appeared on his face...

"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"Finally, I've broken through..."

He had used up four hundred Rank 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills. If he couldn't break through now, he'd lose all confidence in even attempting to reach the Golden Core stage...

The amount of pills needed is far too much!

Ye Chen stood up and carefully sensed his own spiritual power; his strength was several times greater than before...

He was confident that if he encountered Meng Fan again, he could cripple him with one hand, even without using his spirit sword!

Although he is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his strength is already comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator...

"Unfortunately, we're out of Spirit Replenishing Pills again..."

"Otherwise, perhaps we could try to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment!"

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Remembering that the spiritual liquid in his gourd was almost used up, he quickly threw in the magical treasures and spirit stones he had previously plundered to refine them...

He couldn't use those ordinary magical treasures anyway, so it would be more practical to convert them into spiritual liquid.

He poured all the morning dew that Lin Ningxue had collected over the past two days into the purple-gold gourd...

Although the amount of spiritual liquid refined from the morning dew was not large, it still amounted to several dozen drops, enough to refine seven or eight Rank 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills...

"Senior Brother Xu..."

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Senior Brother Xu, come quick..."

......

Suddenly, shouts came from outside the cave...

Ye Chen was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing between his brows.

"What could possibly happen?"

His first thought was that someone had come to challenge him...

If that's the case, it would actually be a good thing for him...

This way I can snatch some more pills to cultivate!

Ye Chen put away the purple-gold gourd and strode outside...

"Boom!"

The heavy stone door slowly opened...

Ye Chen had just stepped out, and before he could even ask a question, his gaze fell on the ground...

Lu Luo lay outside the door, covered in blood, his breath weak and listless, looking as if he were about to die...

Ye Chen's expression darkened. He immediately bent down, took out a bottle of healing pills, poured out a few pills, and put them into Lü Luo's mouth...

"Gurgle!"

After taking the medicine, Lü Luo's breathing improved somewhat, but his injuries remained severe...

"Thank you... Senior Brother!" Lu Luo said, looking at Ye Chen in front of him.

Ye Chen frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"What happened?"

"How could you be so badly injured?"

Lu Luo is quite strong; he lives in cave number nineteen on Tianling Peak. Dealing with disciples ranked below fiftieth should be a piece of cake for him...

Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have let him go on the challenge, only to have him severely injured...

Such an injury means that his opponent must be several levels stronger than him to have been able to do it.

Upon hearing this, Lu Luo was about to explain when he suddenly began to cough violently...

"Cough cough cough..."

He coughed until his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word...

At this moment, a disciple who was traveling with him quickly explained.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Lü just led us to challenge a few caves, and everything went quite smoothly..."

"Finally, during the challenge of Cave Number Fifty-One, we encountered a Foundation Establishment stage expert..."

"After breaking through to a higher realm, the opponent never changed their cave dwelling and even concealed their cultivation level. Senior Brother Lü didn't notice when he came to challenge them, but only realized something was wrong after they started fighting. By then, it was too late to stop..."

"The opponent was ruthless; before Senior Brother Lü could even speak, he was severely injured..."

......

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly understood.

Only a Foundation Establishment stage expert could have beaten Lü Luo to this extent...

"I never expected that a cave ranked so low would have a Foundation Establishment stage expert..."

"Fine, fine, so you won't let me admit defeat?"

"This great king would like to go and meet him..."

Ye Chen said coldly.

Lu Luo was essentially his henchman; the other party had severely injured someone, showing him no respect whatsoever...

"Who among you wants to challenge Cave Number Fifty-One?"

"Lead the way!"
