42: Chapter 42 Having obtained the Extreme Forging Pill, the next step is to enter the outer sect.

The group left the valley and sped towards the Xuanjian Sect.

Along the way, Chen Mingtao briefly asked about their experiences over the past few days. Li Siwen and Chen Yaojia had already prepared their story, saying only that to avoid the beast tide, they had accidentally entered a hidden valley to heal and Cultivate, luckily surviving.

Chen Mingtao didn't doubt them, but he did recall something and spoke with a slightly solemn expression: "Yaojia, Junior Sister Shiwen, there's something I need to tell you."

"Junior Brother Yu Qing's injuries... the Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and Alchemy Hall have all examined him, and the situation is not optimistic. His Meridians are fractured, and his Qi Sea is on the verge of collapse. Even if his life can be saved, his cultivation will likely... have no hope of recovery."

He sighed: "The Sect has done its best to heal him, but this kind of Dao injury cannot be cured by ordinary Medicinal Pills. Elder Chu... only sent some common Medicinal Pills and Origin Stones as 'compensation'. This matter... I'm afraid it can only end like this."

As soon as his words fell—

"What?! Only like this?!" Chen Yaojia suddenly stopped, her pretty face instantly flushed with anger, her beautiful eyes burning with fury.

"That Chu Youcai, relying on his Chu family background, instigated others to commit violence, and then just wants to wash his hands of it with a 'I didn't know'? He thinks he can get away with just a few Medicinal Pills and Origin Stones? How can there be such a cheap thing in this world!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. The Kaiyuan Realm Yuan Qi, which had just stabilized within her body, vibrated slightly due to her emotional agitation, causing the surrounding Law Enforcement Team members to look on in surprise.

"I'm going to find that bastard Chu Youcai to settle the score right now! I want to see if the Chu family can protect him!" Chen Yaojia said, turning to rush out.

"Nonsense!" Chen Mingtao's face darkened. He grabbed her, scolding: "Calm down! Without proof, how are you going to settle the score with him? Where are the Sect rules? You just broke through to Kaiyuan, do you want to be severely punished for violating Sect rules with a private fight?"

"Brother! Are we just going to let it go?!" Chen Yaojia struggled unwillingly, her face full of indignation.

Chen Yaojia was righteous. Although her relationship with Yu Qing wasn't particularly close, they were acquainted.

Now, upon learning of Yu Qing's plight, coupled with her sense of justice, she inevitably couldn't hold back.

"Sister Yaojia, don't be impatient."

Li Siwen (Li Shiwen) stepped forward, gently pressing her shoulder, his voice calm yet carrying a convincing power, "Senior Brother is right. Being impulsive now won't help and will only give others something to talk about."

His gaze shifted slightly to Chen Mingtao, his tone indifferent but with a hidden meaning: "Chu Youcai... what is his current cultivation level?"

Chen Mingtao glanced at Li Siwen. Although he didn't understand his intention, he still replied, "He has long been at Marrow Cleansing Perfection, and could Breakthrough to Organ Refining at any time."

Upon hearing this, Li Siwen's lips curved into an extremely faint, yet chillingly cold, arc.

With his female attire bonus and Body Tempering Extreme Realm, he would soon reach Vein Forging Extreme Realm after returning, and even Breakthrough to Marrow Cleansing Stage.

Even if Chu Youcai broke through to Organ Refining, he wouldn't be his opponent.

Then, let Chu Youcai be his first stepping stone after entering the Outer Sect!

He looked at Chen Yaojia and slowly said, "Sister Yaojia, I can apply to enter the Outer Sect in a few days. According to Sect rules, 'sparring matches' between Outer Sect Disciples, as long as no one dies, the Law Enforcement Hall usually... won't interfere too much."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Chen Yaojia instantly understood the implication!

She suddenly looked up at Li Siwen, the anger in her eyes gradually replaced by a sharp and expectant light.

She was quite clear about Li Siwen's combat power; his Foundation was terrifyingly profound.

Once he entered the Outer Sect, he could

At that time, if he openly beat him into a pig's head on the arena, even the Chu family wouldn't be able to say anything!

"Good!" Chen Yaojia nodded heavily, forcefully suppressing the urge for immediate revenge, and gritted her teeth: "Then let him be at large for a few more days! Shiwen, when you enter the Outer Sect, I'll go with you!"

Chen Mingtao was speechless listening to their unreserved conversation, but inexplicably felt... this actually seemed like a viable solution?

As long as it didn't escalate, Elders indeed found it difficult to intervene in sparring matches between juniors.

However, was Yaojia's confidence in Junior Sister Li a bit excessive?

But then he suddenly reacted, looking at Li Siwen in shock: "Wait! Junior Sister Li, you... you just said you've reached Aperture Opening Completion?!"

He remembered very clearly that

How could she have reached Aperture Opening Completion after one trip out?

This Cultivation speed... was simply unheard of!

Not only him, but the surrounding Law Enforcement Team members, who had been listening intently, all gasped in unison, looking at Li Siwen as if he were a monster!

[Shock from Chen Mingtao +80]

[Incredulity from Law Enforcement Team Member A +65]

[Horror from Law Enforcement Team Member B +70]

[From...]

Li Siwen merely smiled faintly at their astonished gazes, his tone humble: "Just a lucky opportunity!"

Chen Mingtao: "..."

Is this just luck? This is a miracle!

He deeply gazed at

Chu Youcai... was probably really going to be in big trouble!

Just then, in Li Siwen's mind, the brilliant Star River Platform became active again.

[Ding! Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing has sent you an exclusive red packet [vein forging extreme realm pill]*3!]

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "@Jiuji-Li Shiwen Junior Sister Shiwen, the vein forging extreme realm pills you wanted are refined! Hurry and praise your big sister! (^▽^) I used the bone-quenching spiritual flower you gave me, the quality is definitely superior!"

Li Siwen's heart stirred, and he immediately received them.

At the same time, he remembered something and quickly replied.

[Jiuji-Li Shiwen]: "Thank you, Sister Jingjing! Sister Jingjing is the best! (/heart)"

[Jiuji-Li Shiwen]: "Sister Jingjing, I have another favor to ask. The Senior Brother I mentioned to you last time, you said he was missing a 'Nine Aperture Spirit Nurturing Flower'. I happen to have obtained it."

"I wonder if you could use this as the main ingredient, and ask big sister to research and refine some Medicinal Pills that can repair the Dao Foundation and reconnect Meridians?"

After speaking, he sent the Nine Aperture Spirit Nurturing Flower via red packet.

After thinking about it, he also sent over the Yao Beast corpses he had obtained earlier, thinking Tang Jingjing might find them useful.

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "Nine Aperture Spirit Nurturing Flower?! This is a treasure for nourishing the Divine Soul and restoring Origin! It's definitely effective for treating Meridians and Qi Sea injuries!"

"Wow, and so many Yao Beast corpses? Junior Sister Shiwen is truly amazing! Don't worry, leave it to big sister! I'll go through ancient texts and Pill Formulas right away to try my best to refine a batch of 'Nine Aperture Origin Restoring Pill' for you! Wait for my good news!"

At this point, he thought of his own cultivation and continued to ask.

[Jiuji-Li Shiwen]: "Sister Jingjing, I have another question. I have now reached Aperture Opening Perfection, and my next step is to pursue Tongqiao Extreme Realm. Does big sister know the Pill Formula or clues for the 'Aperture Opening Extreme Realm Pill'?"

The group was silent for a moment.

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "Aperture Opening Extreme Realm Pill? I do have a Pill Formula here, but... it's a common version circulated in the Sect, and its effect... is just so-so."

"It can't compare at all to that profound ancient Pill Formula for the 'vein forging extreme realm pill' you gave me last time! Moreover, several of the main Materials required for refining are quite rare, and I can't gather them all at once."

She seemed a bit embarrassed.

Li Siwen, however, was not disappointed.

[Jiuji-Li Shiwen]: "Even a common version will do! Please let Sister Jingjing show me the Pill Formula first. I can also try my best to find the required Materials; having something is better than nothing."

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "Alright then! I've noted the Materials. They are mainly 'Millennium Spirit Marrow', 'Seven-Colored Aperture Nurturing Fruit', and the complete crystal core of a Tier 3 or higher Yao Beast skilled in burrowing through earth... these items are all hard to find."
