43: The White Jade Conspiracy

"Fellow Daoist Yun, don't you think your words are childish?"

"Such a pill that aids in Dan Formation, do you think I would give it to you?"

Xu Qi'an snorted coldly and put the jade box into his storage bag.

"Cloud Maple, stop the nonsense, this person must die, let's attack!"

Lu Guangtian's face was gloomy, and a sharp green light filled treasure sword appeared in his hand, followed by dozens of sword lights falling down.

Xu Qi'an took a glance and immediately entered the gate of the third stage.

The sword light immediately missed.

Cloud Maple snorted coldly: "We chase!"

After Xu Qi'an entered the third stage light gate, the world before him underwent earth-shattering changes.

The world here was like the previous Foundation Establishment Mystic Realm, a Small World.

"The world of the third stage is actually like this."

Xu Qi'an glanced at the gate behind him, no longer hesitated, and immediately flew in one direction.

"The usage count of the Omnipotent Treasure Basin is used up today, otherwise I could gather treasures and then throw out the hot potato in my hand!"

Xu Qi'an pondered in his heart.

His biggest trump cards now were nothing more than top-grade Foundation Establishment spirit artifacts and some second-tier Talismans.

But Lu Guangtian and Cloud Maple, one was at Foundation Establishment ninth layer, the other at Foundation Establishment tenth layer, and they had quite a few trump cards. Xu Qi'an was only at Foundation Establishment sixth layer, and he was not confident of winning with the trump cards he had.

"If it were just one person, I could handle it with Talismans, but now it's troublesome."

"I just don't know what happened to Water Lingmiao and the others."

Xu Qi'an sighed.

He flew all the way, preparing to find a place to spend a day, waiting for tomorrow to arrive and gather the Dustfall Pill.

He would make other plans then.

"And those three Magic Treasures, Xu Qi'an also planned to handle them properly!"

"It seems the best approach is still to wait until the Omnipotent Treasure Basin refreshes, and then throw out these things to clear my suspicion."

"However, a feud with people like Lu Guangtian and Cloud Maple is inevitable."

"Even after going out, I will be wanted by the Floating Cloud Sect."

"Fortunately, that Golden Core True Person cannot make a move now, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"After handling the matters here, I will leave Yue Country!"

"The world is vast, is there no place for me to live?"

After Xu Qi'an made up his mind, he began to ponder the conditions for clearing the third stage.

He continued flying for a while, and then he saw a palace in the distance.

The palace exuded a dazzling brilliance, looking like a place of immortals from afar, with white jade steps paving the ground, and gold and silver light decorating it.

It made Xu Qi'an a little dizzy.

"That's probably the third stage!"

"But should I go or not?"

Xu Qi'an felt a little hesitant in his heart. If this was the place of the third stage, then Cloud Maple and Lu Guangtian behind him would also arrive, and a big battle would be unavoidable then.

"Forget it, the Magic Treasures and Dustfall Pill are already in hand, I can't be impulsive anymore. I've already gained too many unexpected things on this trip."

"Whether it's the main Spirit Medicine for the Ling Yuan Pill or other things."

"This space is vast, even if those two have extraordinary Divine Sense, it won't be easy to search, and besides, they will definitely think that I have entered that palace to challenge the stage."

"Now it's better to find a place to hide for a few days before saying anything!"

After Xu Qi'an made up his mind, he immediately changed direction and quickly left.

As expected, less than fifteen minutes after Xu Qi'an left, two figures arrived in front of the palace.

"That Xu Qi'an is nowhere to be seen, he must have entered this palace!"

Cloud Maple said as he looked at the palace in front of him.

Meanwhile, Lu Guangtian, suppressing the joy in his heart, cautiously glanced at Cloud Maple and said in a deep voice: "Probably so, Cloud Maple, let's go in quickly, we can't let this person snatch our treasures anymore!"

Cloud Maple nodded thoughtfully and immediately flew in.

When Lu Guangtian saw Cloud Maple go in, a look of longing suddenly appeared on his face: "Finally found it!"

"This must be the White Jade Hall mentioned in the Blood Spirit Treasure Book!"

"Hehehe, fortunately I knew that this third stage is a trap!"

"You can't really clear the stage at all, you must have the key to the Jade Hall to truly inherit the Jade Hall and the Blood Spirit Mystic Treasure!"

"If I have the ancient hall, wouldn't Magic Treasures and Dustfall Pills be within reach?"

Lu Guangtian sneered in his heart, already treating Xu Qi'an and Cloud Maple as cannon fodder!

He immediately withdrew and entered the White Jade Hall.

But what the two of them didn't know was that a pair of scarlet eyes had already opened in the depths of the White Jade Hall.

......

"Whew!"

Xu Qi'an let out a long breath, raised his hand, and four treasures landed in his hand.

"Three Magic Treasures, one Dustfall Pill."

Xu Qi'an extended his other hand, and it was also three Magic Treasures and one Dustfall Pill.

"This way, it's foolproof. At that time, I can use these things to divert attention."

"But four days have passed, why is there still no reaction at all?"

"Could it be that the third stage has not been breached yet?"

Xu Qi'an thought and thought, and finally decided to go and see what was happening.

If it was breached and there was an exit, then everything would be fine.

Immediately, Xu Qi'an flew towards the direction of the White Jade Hall.

Along the way, Xu Qi'an somehow noticed a strange aura permeating the air.

"This aura! Something's wrong!"

Xu Qi'an thought long and hard, and suddenly felt that this aura was the same as the corpse ghouls he had encountered on the stone steps before.

But after flying for a while longer, he saw several people fighting.

At the forefront were the two girls, Water Lingmiao and Ling Jiao.

Opposite them was a large group of corpse ghouls, at least thirty of them, including some at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Why are Water Lingmiao and the others here, what happened?"

On the other side, Water Lingmiao looked at the constantly attacking corpse ghouls around her, her heart already filled with despair.

"Damn it, why is that White Jade Hall full of corpse ghouls!"

"And why have all these corpse ghouls awakened!"

The story had to start four days ago. Water Lingmiao and a few others were climbing the second stage, and originally could only wander on the first few steps.

But suddenly, for some unknown reason, the pressure and corpse ghouls of the second stage disappeared, and they arrived at the third stage.

After that, they found the White Jade Hall and entered it. They originally thought the White Jade Hall was filled with pills and treasures, but unexpectedly it was all corpse ghouls.

They desperately escaped from it.

They wanted to go back to the entrance, but found that the entrance had long since disappeared!

To avoid the corpse ghouls, they had to hide here and there.

Fortunately, they met Ling Jiao later, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But after several days of fighting, Ling Jiao was already covered in wounds, old injuries adding to new ones, and her strength had long since greatly diminished.

Water Lingmiao looked at a shocking wound on Ling Jiao's body and sighed in her heart.

"Ling Jiao, you've worked hard."

"I just don't know where Xu Qi'an went."

"Could it be that he has been buried in the White Jade Hall?"

Water Lingmiao didn't dare to think about it, but she hadn't met any other living people these past few days.

"Woo~" Ling Jiao also let out a helpless cry.

Shui Ling'er, however, wiped away the tears from her eyes and encouraged: "Revered Master, Chu Senior is a good person and has his own destiny, he will definitely be fine!"

"Maybe Chu Senior will come to save us from somewhere in the next second!"

Water Lingmiao smiled against her will.

How could there be such a coincidence?

The water curtain barrier set up by Ling Jiao gradually weakened. The three of them were already at the end of their rope. Looking at the dense crowd of corpse ghouls covering the surroundings, they had no hope of breaking through.

However, at this moment, a huge wave of water swept over, like a raging tide, covering all the corpse ghouls.

Following closely was a shocking sword light, like the power of thunder, striking down with a lightning bolt.

All the corpse ghouls were swept away in an instant.

The two girls were greatly startled. They looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"It's him!"
