57: Chapter 57 Breakthrough with a Thousand Pounds, Breaking the Qi Profound Golden Grass

The next day.

In the core area of the Sunset Forest, on the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Thick poisonous miasma lingered in the forest, adding a few more points of danger compared to the past; this was naturally the masterpiece of Porcupinefish Douluo.

Before heading to the Star Luo Empire, Ji Xuan had specifically made a detour to Heaven Dou City to bestow Dugu Bo's head Spirit Bone upon Porcupinefish Douluo.

That Spirit Bone, soaked in potent poison, was a fatal object to others, but for Porcupinefish Douluo, it was a great tonic.

After completely absorbing the Spirit Bone and the poison within it, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, actually broke through by one level.

This made Porcupinefish Douluo incredibly excited. He had served Spirit Hall for many years; even if he hadn't achieved great merits, he had certainly put in the hard work, yet he had never received such a precious reward.

He never expected that this first Spirit Bone would come from Ji Xuan.

Porcupinefish Douluo immediately knelt on one knee to express his loyalty to Ji Xuan.

Afterward, following Ji Xuan's arrangements, he came to the Sunset Forest and strengthened the poison array laid down by Dugu Bo, making this precious land even more hidden and secure.

"My Lord, is this the place?"

Yang Wudi looked at the thick poisonous miasma before him, unable to hide the anticipation in his eyes.

"That is correct. You will know once we go inside."

Ji Xuan and Golden Crocodile were the first to step into the poisonous miasma.

Yang Wudi hurriedly took out the Fragrant Silk Immortal Plant and followed; the moment the poisonous miasma touched the Immortal Plant, it automatically receded.

Passing through the miasma, the three of them flashed a few times and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the bottom of the valley.

"Xiao Xuan, Second Brother, you are here."

The figure of Qianjun Douluo suddenly appeared before them.

He had just arrived not long ago to replace Demon Subduing Douluo in guarding this place.

When his gaze fell upon Yang Wudi behind Ji Xuan, he couldn't help but slightly frown.

"You are... Yang Wudi?"

As a participant in that great battle back then, he naturally recognized Yang Wudi.

But wasn't the Breaking Clan previously an affiliated Sect of the Clear Sky Sect? Why would Yang Wudi appear here?

Ji Xuan explained with a smile: "Junior Martial Uncle Qian Jun, Clan Chief Yang has now led the Breaking Clan to follow me."

"Oh? Xiao Xuan, I didn't expect you to have subdued the Breaking Clan!"

A look of surprise flashed across Qianjun Douluo's eyes.

Yang Wudi stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Greetings, Your Excellency Qian Jun!"

"No need for formalities." Qianjun Douluo nodded slightly, "Since you have chosen to follow Xiao Xuan, let past grievances be wiped clean."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

At this time, Ji Xuan signaled to Yang Wudi: "Clan Chief Yang, why don't you take a look at the surrounding environment first."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi carefully looked around.

"This... this! This place actually has so many Heaven And Earth Treasures!"

When he saw those rare medicinal herbs that he had only seen in books, he became so excited that he was somewhat incoherent.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?"

"Satisfied is an understatement! My Lord, this is simply a peerless treasure land! With the help of this place, my Breaking Clan will surely be able to recreate our former glory!"

"From now on, this place will be managed by your Breaking Clan."

Ji Xuan's tone became a bit more serious as he added: "Remember, this place is of great importance; no one other than core members is allowed to enter!"

Yang Wudi took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Ji Xuan.

"This subordinate accepts the order! The entire Breaking Clan will do our utmost and will never fail your trust, My Lord!"

Ji Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Qianjun Douluo.

"Junior Martial Uncle Qian Jun, since you are here, I will give you the Immortal Plant."

As Ji Xuan spoke, his right hand brushed across the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, and the last remaining Ink Jade Divine Bamboo appeared in his palm.

"This is... Ink Jade Divine Bamboo!"

Yang Wudi looked at the Immortal Plant in Ji Xuan's hand and couldn't help but exclaim, a burning light flashing in his eyes.

If he could consume this Immortal Plant, he would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

But soon he restrained his mind; since he had chosen to pledge loyalty, he should keep to his duty.

He believed that Ji Xuan would not treat him unfairly in the future.

"Thanks, Xiao Xuan."

Qianjun Douluo reached out to take the Immortal Plant, and his usually calm face could not hide his excitement.

Ever since his younger brother, Demon Subduing Douluo, had made a Breakthrough with the help of an Immortal Plant, he had been looking forward to this for a long time.

After Ji Xuan told Qianjun Douluo the method of consumption, he couldn't wait to find an open space and began to seclude himself to refine the Immortal Plant.

Ji Xuan took in Yang Wudi's expression, smiled slightly, and took out another Immortal Plant from the treasure purse.

It was dark gold all over, with nine sword-shaped leaves that were as thin as cicada wings yet exceptionally sharp.

"Clan Chief Yang, you must recognize this object."

Ji Xuan casually handed it to Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi's breathing suddenly became rapid as he stared fixedly at the Immortal Plant close at hand, his voice trembling as he said: "My Lord, this... this is the Armor Breaking Profound Gold Grass! Are you going to bestow it upon this subordinate?"

Although this Immortal Plant was not a top-tier one, it was more suitable for the Soul Breaking Spear.

The Soul Breaking Spear was already focused on extreme attacks; if he could refine this Immortal Plant...

By then, the number of people in the world who could block his Soul Breaking Spear would truly be less than one in ten!

"Since you have chosen to follow me, I naturally will not treat you unfairly."

Ji Xuan's tone was indifferent, as if he were just giving away an ordinary herb.

If this Armor Breaking Profound Gold Grass were absorbed by him personally, it would certainly make the edge of the Sword of Order even sharper.

But, that was all.

He possessed the Power of Order; by comparison, the improvements brought by these Immortal Plants were merely icing on the cake.

The three Immortal Plants he had absorbed initially were only to improve his physical fitness and Mental Energy.

"Many thanks for the treasure, My Lord!"

Yang Wudi took the Immortal Plant with trembling hands.

"You should know how to absorb it, go."

"Yes."

Yang Wudi bowed and replied. As the Clan Chief of the Breaking Clan, his research on Immortal Plants had been passed down for generations, so he naturally understood.

He immediately found an open space slightly further away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sat cross-legged, carefully placed the Immortal Plant in his palm, and began to refine it...

The Soul Breaking Spear appeared behind him involuntarily, its tip vibrating slightly, emitting a joyful hum.

Clearly, this Immortal Plant, which perfectly matched the characteristics of his Spirit, was triggering a resonance with the Origin of the Soul Breaking Spear.

Ji Xuan stood in the distance, watching as Yang Wudi's body was gradually enveloped in a layer of dark golden light, and nodded with satisfaction.

...

Not long after, the surging Soul Power around Qianjun Douluo slowly calmed down. He opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed.

With the help of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, he successfully broke through by one level, reaching level 97.

He rose to his feet and nodded slightly to Ji Xuan; everything was understood without words.

Another half an hour later.

On the other side, Yang Wudi also reached a critical moment.

The form of the Soul Breaking Spear was undergoing subtle changes; the already incomparably sharp spear tip now seemed capable of tearing through space.

"Break!"

Suddenly, Yang Wudi opened his eyes and let out a low shout.

"Boom—!"

A wave of Soul Power pressure far stronger than before shot into the sky!

His Soul Power had reached the level 80 Bottleneck from a level 79 Spirit Saint.

Yang Wudi felt the surging new power within his body, especially the changes to his Spirit, and his expression was excited.

He walked quickly to Ji Xuan, knelt on one knee, and said with incomparable firmness: "Many thanks to My Lord for bestowing the Immortal Plant upon me! This subordinate, Yang Wudi, swears to be loyal to My Lord until death!"

At this moment, Yang Wudi's temperament was like a different person compared to before.

Ji Xuan looked at this scene and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Now, Yang Wudi's potential had been raised to a whole new level.

If he unleashed his full power, an average Titled Douluo would truly be no match for him.
