Let's go! Iron-winged Goshawk

The bu yuan fruit was swallowed by Xiao Ming, and then quickly melted, turning into a rolling torrent of medicinal power that merged into his limbs and bones.

As the medicinal power coursed through his body, Xiao Ming's skin turned crimson, and a faint white mist rose from above his head.

At the same time.

Stimulated by the medicinal power, the true essence lake in his Dan Lake also trembled violently.

Xiao Ming did not dare to delay, and immediately circulated the Royal Sky Shocking Art, beginning to refine the surging medicinal power within his body.

Approximately an hour later.

Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes, his cultivation temporarily coming to an end.

All the medicinal power of the bu yuan fruit had been refined by him one by one, and transformed into true essence within his body, merging into the lake within him.

Only then did Xiao Ming understand why the spirit medicine he consumed was called bu yuan fruit.

The bu yuan fruit could greatly replenish a martial artist's true essence!

After refining the bu yuan fruit, Xiao Ming was surprised to find that the true essence lake within his body had more than doubled in size, and the terrifying energy it contained already far exceeded that of an ordinary early Divine Sea Realm cultivator!

In addition, Xiao Ming's true essence lake had entered a static state, as if the liquid had frozen into a thick layer of ice, becoming solid.

Affected by this, Xiao Ming clearly sensed that he could break through again!

However, a breakthrough still required time, and he couldn't rush it now.

After some thought.

Xiao Ming took out a large handful of three-thousand-year-old spirit medicines and a large pile of Earth-grade quality pills from his ring.

He planned to take advantage of the remaining time to continue consuming cultivation resources to expand his true essence lake and increase the concentration of energy.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, it was night.

Xiao Ming, who was cultivating, suddenly received a secret sound transmission from Li Changfeng,

“Xiao Ming, get ready to depart. Tomorrow morning, we will head to Qingtian Sword Sect to participate in the Eight Sects Tournament!”

After the voice sounded, it disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Ming opened his eyes.

Then he exited his cultivation state.

Because he sensed that his cultivation for the day had reached its limit, and continuing to cultivate would no longer have any effect.

Even if Li Changfeng hadn't sent the sound transmission, he had planned to end his cultivation.

As for the subsequent cultivation, it could be carried out on the way to Qingtian Sword Sect. Xiao Ming had a premonition that before reaching Qingtian Sword Sect, he would definitely be able to advance to the Danhu Realm Great Perfection!

Stretching, Xiao Ming lay on the bed, turned his head, and fell asleep, entering a state of deep sleep a few seconds later.

Cultivation emphasizes a balance of tension and relaxation; one should not be negligent, but also not be too hasty.

After diligent cultivation, sufficient relaxation should be given, as this is the best state for cultivation.

The moon set and the sun rose.

A new day had arrived.

Xiao Ming brought Hu Yunxi to the sect square, only to see a few figures already there: Sect Leader Li Changfeng, as well as Lin Feng and Wang Hao.

“Vice Sect Leader Xiao, good morning.” Seeing Xiao Ming approach, Wang Hao, who had not had much interaction with Xiao Ming, took the initiative to greet him.

After the previous competitions and a series of major battles, Wang Hao didn't say it aloud, but he had already developed admiration for Xiao Ming.

“Vice Sect Leader's aura has become even more profound. I'm afraid a breakthrough to the Danhu Realm Great Perfection will happen in the next few days,” Lin Feng said with a complex expression.

Then he looked at Hu Yunxi beside Xiao Ming.

Hu Yunxi was too beautiful and enchanting, with a graceful figure and excellent temperament. It was Lin Feng's first time encountering Hu Yunxi up close, and for a moment, he was somewhat infatuated.

“What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll dig out your eyeballs!” Hu Yunxi glared at Lin Feng angrily.

Lin Feng was startled, quickly averted his gaze, and awkwardly looked around.

Xiao Ming, on the other hand, glanced at Hu Yunxi and Lin Feng with a subtle intention.

Actually, according to the original plot, Lin Feng would have taken Hu Yunxi as his maid, but because he strongly intervened, the relationship between Hu Yunxi and Lin Feng had been severed.

Moreover, Hu Yunxi was completely unaffected by Lin Feng's luck aura, not showing any signs of infatuation like ordinary women.

In fact.

Because of Lin Feng's rude behavior just now, Hu Yunxi had a very poor impression of him.

“It seems that Lin Feng's two Nine-Colored Lucks, 'Forced Intelligence Reduction' and 'Abundant Romance,' can only be used on ordinary women,” Xiao Ming mused to himself,

“A Child of Destiny like Hu Yunxi, who also possesses Nine-Colored Luck, can ignore Lin Feng's aura influence.”

Thinking this.

Xiao Ming quietly activated his viewing function, once again scanning Lin Feng and Wang Hao's recent opportunities.

Their opportunities appeared one by one:

Lin Feng's Recent Opportunity One: Two days later, upon entering Qingtian Sword Sect to rest, while wandering idly, he discovered something unusual on a stone wall on the outskirts of Qingtian Sword Sect, obtaining a Heaven-grade cultivation art, the Great Sun Heavenly Illumination Art, and a wisp of Fire Essence.

Opportunity Two: Using the Fire Essence and the cultivation art to melt the Mystic Sword Body, forging a Heaven-grade physical body: the Great Sun Fire Body.

Opportunity Three: With a Heavenly Human Sensation, he cultivated the Great Sun Heavenly Illumination Art to the Great Perfection Stage.

Opportunity Four: Under the effects of the cultivation art and physique, he successfully advanced to the Danhu Realm Mid Stage... Now, looking at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao's Recent Opportunity One: On the way to Qingtian Sword Sect, he attracted starlight to refine his body, successfully evolving his Seven Luminaries Starlight Body into a Heaven-grade physical body: the Nine Palaces Star Body.

Opportunity Two: After arriving at Qingtian Sword Sect, while wiping his dragon sparrow blade, he discovered a Heaven-grade blade art hidden within the blade: the Dragon Slaying Art.

Opportunity Three: With a Heavenly Human Sensation, he advanced to the Danhu Realm Mid Stage... After reviewing Lin Feng and Wang Hao's recent opportunities, Xiao Ming was slightly disappointed.

Although these two's opportunities were quite good, they no longer piqued his interest.

Xiao Ming already had the Heaven-grade cultivation art, Royal Sky Shocking Art, so he didn't need any other cultivation methods.

Unless, the grade of the cultivation art was higher than Heaven-grade, and that was something Lin Feng and Wang Hao couldn't acquire for now.

As for physical bodies... even if Lin Feng and Wang Hao improved their physiques, they would only be Heaven-grade, while Xiao Ming already possessed the supreme Five Elements Saint Body.

Neither Lin Feng's upcoming Great Sun Fire Body nor Wang Hao's Nine Palaces Star Body were worth mentioning in front of him!

The only thing that made Xiao Ming give a second glance was the Heaven-grade blade art, Dragon Slaying Art, that Wang Hao discovered within the dragon sparrow blade.

Unfortunately.

Xiao Ming specialized in sword arts and disliked blade arts, and his main cultivation art, Royal Sky Shocking Art, came with numerous powerful sword techniques.

Therefore, even this Dragon Slaying Art held little interest for Xiao Ming.

While he was thinking.

Li Changfeng waved his large hand and said, “We've already been delayed for some time because of Murong Ce. If you have no other matters, we should depart now.”

Xiao Ming and the others all shook their heads, indicating that they were ready to depart at any time.

At this moment, Wang Hao asked, “May I ask, Sect Leader, how are we traveling to Qingtian Sword Sect? Are we flying or riding horses?”

Hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled.

“Qingtian Sword Sect is five thousand li away from us. If we were to fly such a long distance, how much time would that waste?”

Without waiting for Wang Hao to ask further, Li Changfeng put two fingers into his mouth.

“??”

Li Changfeng let out a sharp, piercing whistle.

As the whistle sounded, a giant eagle flew from somewhere within Spirit Sword Sect.

This eagle was enormous, much larger than a villa with a courtyard!

The eagle's speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, it flew above Xiao Ming and the others. Its two massive wings spread wide, blocking out the sunlight in the sky.

Whoosh!

The sound of rushing air rang out.

The giant eagle landed in front of Xiao Ming and the others, stirring up a gust of wind, then it obediently came to Li Changfeng's side, even affectionately pecking Li Changfeng's head.

“Sect Leader, this is...”

“This is a Divine Sea Realm demonic beast raised by our Spirit Sword Sect, named Iron Winged Eagle!”
