15: The scheme of the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts resulted in a hundredfold critical hit that returned the Five-Colored Soil!

Hearing this, Xiao Fan raised his head and looked at the rock wall in front of him.

He saw that the rock wall was scorched black, as if it had been incinerated by some extremely terrifying flame.

There was nothing on it.

"Revered Master, did you... perhaps sense incorrectly?" For the first time, a hint of doubt arose in Xiao Fan's tone toward his Revered Master.

Hearing this, Venerable Yao was also momentarily stunned.

He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Perhaps... the power of this old man's remnant soul is waning, and my perception was inaccurate."

His heart was also filled with confusion.

That fluctuation could not have been wrong.

But why did it suddenly vanish?

It was as if someone had beaten him to it.

"Never mind." Venerable Yao consoled him, "Even if we missed this Opportunity, it is no great matter."

"Fan'er, carefully sense the Nine Nether Gale here." His tone grew serious. "This gale seems capable of destroying everything, but in reality, it also contains a trace of Nine Nether Origin Power, making it the best material for tempering your Ancient Desolate Sacred Body."

"As long as you can persevere here and use the Nine Nether Gale for Body Refining, it won't be long before you have hope of breaking the second Sacred Body lock within you."

Breaking the second Sacred Body lock.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan immediately became energized.

He knew clearly that his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body had a total of nine locks.

Every time he broke one, his strength would undergo earth-shattering changes.

Only by breaking the second lock could he Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage without any obstruction.

How could this not excite him?

He immediately forgot his previous disappointment and doubt, and fierce fighting spirit reignited in his eyes.

He sat cross-legged and began actively guiding the Nine Nether Gale to wash over his Physical Body.

Intense pain struck him once more.

But he gritted his teeth, accepting it willingly.

Longevity Peak.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the Enlightenment Meditation Cushion, patiently waiting for the arrival of 11 PM - 1 AM.

He was not in a hurry to switch to cultivating the Great Five Elements Chaos Art.

Since he still lacked three Five Elements Rare Treasures, there was no need to rush.

He decided to wait for the intelligence refresh tonight.

If there was no intelligence he needed, he would consume Destiny Points to perform a targeted acquisition.

The targets would be the remaining rare treasures of the Metal, Water, and Earth attributes.

Time slowly flowed by in the quiet anticipation.

11 PM - 1 AM arrived right on time.

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed.]

Three new pieces of intelligence were refreshed accordingly.

[White Intelligence: At 11 PM - 1 AM today, Grand Elder Jiang Wuya once again used a Secret Technique to send a message to True Monarch Wan Shou. He informed the other party that Ancestor Qingyun's vital Qi and blood were failing and that he was nearing death, indicating that he was ready to welcome the arrival of the True Monarch Wan Shou at any time.

True Monarch Wan Shou is inherently cautious and stated that he had sent someone to deliver a longevity pill, instructing Jiang Wuya to find a way to gift it to Ancestor Qingyun. Note: This pill is an inferior longevity pill with extremely potent Pill Poison; anyone whose Lifespan is near its end will surely die upon consumption.]

[White Intelligence: Sect Master Gu Qingxue is tossing and turning in the Main Hall of Azure Cloud Peak.

She is grateful for her husband's guidance, which has improved her Cultivation daily. Deep down, she hopes to receive guidance again, but her nature is reserved and she is not good at taking the initiative, so she is currently hesitating whether she should come and request an audience.]

[Blue Intelligence: Deep within the Youming Dungeon, due to the constant blowing of the Nine Nether Gale, a large amount of Nine Nether Power has gathered. A portion of Nine Nether Underworld Earth will appear in a hidden rock crevice at the deepest part of the dungeon today during the Chen hour (7 AM - 9 AM).

This is an Earth-attribute Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure, which can be used to refine Magic Treasures or to temper the Physical Body. At that time, it will be discovered by Xiao Fan, who is currently undergoing Body Refining, after he perceives the movement. [Click to view coordinates]]

Lu Yuan looked at the three pieces of intelligence, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward.

When sleepiness comes, someone delivers a pillow.

He was worried about how to gather the Five Elements Rare Treasures, and the first one, the Earth-attribute Nine Nether Underworld Earth, was delivered right to his doorstep.

As for the schemes of Jiang Wuya and the True Monarch Wan Shou, they struck him as somewhat ridiculous.

Using an inferior longevity pill to scheme against him.

This method was simply too crude.

However, since the fish were ready to bite the hook, he naturally had to cooperate and make the act more realistic.

His gaze fell upon the second piece of white intelligence.

Gu Qingxue.

A trace of tenderness flashed through Lu Yuan's heart.

Using his Divine Thought, he once again summoned this Sect Master, who was struggling with an internal conflict, to his Immortal Cave.

Before long, a delicate and elegant fragrance, accompanied by light footsteps, entered the Immortal Cave.

Gu Qingxue had arrived.

Today, she had changed into a pale blue Flowing Immortal Dress. A few simple Ice Lotuses were embroidered on the hem, and a plain Jade Hairpin loosely gathered her waterfall-like black hair.

Gone was the usual dignity and coldness of a Sect Master, replaced by a woman's gentle grace and softness.

Her beauty was already unparalleled, and now, illuminated by the soft spiritual light within the Immortal Cave, she was breathtakingly gorgeous.

"Husband." She came before Lu Yuan, bowing slightly, her voice soft.

In her heart, there was both joy at being summoned by her husband and a hint of shyness at having her thoughts seen through.

"Still troubled by the matter from yesterday?" Lu Yuan looked at her and spoke calmly.

"No," Gu Qingxue quickly shook her head, but her slightly reddened earlobes betrayed her inner thoughts.

Lu Yuan did not pursue the topic further.

He simply reached out and gently pulled her into his embrace.

Gu Qingxue's delicate body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed, leaning obediently against his chest.

She could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat.

This sound made her feel incomparably safe.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the atmosphere once again grew intimate.

A session of Cultivation guidance was naturally unavoidable.

After the clouds parted and the rain stopped.

Gu Qingxue leaned lazily in Lu Yuan's arms, a flush of satisfied redness coloring her cool, jade-like face.

She suddenly remembered something and said, "Husband, you truly are divinely resourceful. Just yesterday, Liu Mengxi indeed came looking for me under the pretense of discussing a Pill Formula."

Lu Yuan's tone was calm: "What did she ask?"

"She beat around the bush and asked many questions about your injuries," Gu Qingxue replied. "Your Disciple kept your instructions in mind, maintaining a worried expression throughout, sighing heavily, and inadvertently revealing that your Dao injuries are incurable and that you do not have much time left."

"You did very well." Lu Yuan's hand gently stroked her smooth, long hair, praising her.

Hearing this, Gu Qingxue's heart swelled with sweetness.

Receiving praise from her husband made her happier than any reward.

After concluding this session of Cultivation, Lu Yuan's figure once again vanished from the Immortal Cave.

He arrived at the Youming Dungeon for the second time.

Following the coordinate guidance provided by the System, he easily found the portion of Nine Nether Underworld Earth that had already solidified in an extremely hidden rock crevice deep inside the dungeon.

It was a small amount of deep black soil containing extremely pure Earth attribute Origin Power and a trace of Nine Nether Yin Evil Qi.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took it out and placed it into his storage space.

[Ding! Successfully seized the Son of Destiny Xiao Fan's Blue Opportunity, Nine Nether Underworld Earth, triggering a One Hundred Times Critical Return of Five-Colored Soil.]
