344: Millennium Ginseng

But fortunately, it still couldn't break through Lu Xingchen's defense.

Sea Heart Flame's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "What terrifying Sword Qi. Lu Xingchen, your strength is not weaker than the Prodigies of the same generation as my master!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I'll take that as a compliment!"

Sea Heart Flame said in a deep voice, "Since neither of us can do anything to the other, why don't we stop fighting for now, Cultivate diligently, and fight again another day!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Who said I can't do anything to you? I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

Hearing this, Sea Heart Flame was greatly surprised.

"How is that possible? Not even at full strength?"

"I think you're just bluffing!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You'll know whether it's true or false soon! Soul Breaking Art!"

Lu Xingchen gathered all the Soul Power in his body, condensing a black handprint above his head. As he infused his Soul Power, the black handprint became more and more solid.

Sea Heart Flame was incredibly shocked.

"Soul Power of Spirit Realm Great Perfection? How is this possible? Even a true Martial Venerable Expert's Soul Power is only at the Late Spirit Realm. Not to mention a fake like you who relies on secret arts!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It might be difficult for others, but for me, it's entirely possible. Because I am the God of War!"

Sea Heart Flame's expression darkened, and he hurriedly mobilized his Soul Power to defend.

He had only recently gained sentience, and his Realm was achieved by relying on the Origin of the Spirit Fire, but his Soul Power had not yet matured, barely reaching the Late Spirit Realm.

He didn't even dare to clash with Lu Xingchen again, fearing that his Soul body would be directly destroyed.

However, it was useless.

Lu Xingchen's black handprint slammed heavily onto him, easily shattering his Soul shield, and then obliterating his Soul body.

The image of the little boy disappeared, and Sea Heart Flame transformed back into a ball of blue flame.

Lu Xingchen himself was startled.

He originally only wanted to heavily injure Sea Heart Flame, and then find an Opportunity to slowly wear down his sentience, but he didn't expect that his move would directly obliterate his Soul body.

But soon, he understood the reason.

It must be that this Sea Heart Flame had only recently gained sentience, and its Soul Power was still relatively fragile.

Lu Xingchen felt a little fortunate in his heart.

Indeed, his decision to Dual Cultivation both martial arts and spiritual arts was correct.

Activating two powers simultaneously would often yield miraculous results.

Now that Sea Heart Flame's sentience had been erased, it was time to absorb and refine it!

Lu Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground, took a Seventh-Grade qi recovery pill, and began to recover his state.

It took him a full half a day to restore both his Soul Power and Dou Qi to their Peak.

Dou Qi was easy to recover, but Soul Power recovery required some time.

After restoring his power to its Peak, Lu Xingchen summoned his Fused Spirit Fire, swallowed Sea Heart Flame in one gulp, and then activated the "Burning Art" to begin refining it.

This refining process lasted for a full day.

A day later, Lu Xingchen opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam shot out from them.

He had completely refined and fused with Sea Heart Flame.

The appearance of Sea Heart Flame gave him immense confidence. He was certain that his Fused Spirit Fire was absolutely the strongest below the Saint Realm.

The next time he faced Peng Yu, he would definitely not be as disheveled as before.

Of course, Peng Yu would also have her own Opportunities and encounters. It was hard to say whether he could defeat her again the next time they met.

Lu Xingchen patted his sleeves, stood up, and activated his Soul Power to search for the exit of this space.

A quarter of an hour later, he found the weak point of this independent space, immediately took out the immortal slaying sword, and slashed down with one strike.

The scene changed again, and he appeared in the lake water.

At the same time, on the small island, Xu Qing looked anxious.

Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "A whole day has passed, why hasn't Junior Brother come out yet? Could he have encountered some danger?"

Li Changbai patted Xu Qing's shoulder and chuckled, "Don't worry, Junior Brother most likely encountered an Opportunity and needs time to receive it. Didn't it take me three days to receive Senior Li Huan's Legacy? Let's wait a little longer!"

Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "I can't wait that long. Can you and Junior Brother be compared? If he doesn't come back within three hours, I'll go down to the bottom of the lake to look for him!"

"..."

Li Changbai was a little speechless.

"What do you mean 'can be compared'? Xu Qing, you're too biased!"

"Wait, isn't he here?"

Li Changbai's Soul Power was stronger than Xu Qing's, so he was the first to sense the situation at the bottom of the lake.

Not long after he finished speaking, Lu Xingchen spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew out from the bottom of the lake.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you've waited a long time!"

Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's a good thing you're back, otherwise I would have gone down to look for you. How was it, did you gain anything?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I absorbed and refined a Spirit Fire. Now I can confirm that my Spirit Fire is the strongest below the Saint Realm, even Peng Yu can't compare!"

Hearing this, both Xu Qing and Li Changbai smiled.

"That's great! Junior Brother can already easily defeat the eight prodigies of the central province!"

Lu Xingchen smiled wryly, "Second Senior Brother, stop teasing me. Peng Yu must also be diligently Cultivating. It's hard to say whether I can defeat her next time we meet!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Since you're back, we can divide the spoils. We've collected a lot of Spirit Medicine in this medicinal garden. Most of them can be used as alchemy Materials, but there are a few that can be absorbed and refined immediately to instantly improve strength."

"fire spirit spike can strengthen the Dou Qi intensity of fire-attribute Martial Artists. There are two here."

"thousand year spirit ginseng contains powerful spiritual energy and can accelerate the speed of Dou Qi Cultivation. There are three here."

"Profound Pearl Grass can stabilize one's Realm, making a Martial Artist's Dou Qi and Soul Power more solid. There is one here."

"How do we divide so many Spirit Medicine?"

Li Changbai smiled and said, "Since I am the captain, I will distribute them! We three each get one thousand year spirit ginseng, the fire spirit spike will be given to Xu Qing and Junior Brother, and the Profound Pearl Grass will be given to me. This way, we can maximize the benefits. What do you think?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Second Senior Brother's distribution is very reasonable, I have no objection!"

Xu Qing also nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I have no objection either!"

Li Changbai said softly, "Since that's the case, let's absorb the Spirit Medicine now and promptly increase our combat power, which will be helpful for our subsequent actions."

"I will set up an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation at the entrance of the medicinal garden to prevent disturbances. What do you think?"

"No problem!" The two replied in unison.

Immediately, Li Changbai began to set up a "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation", and then the three of them separated to prepare to absorb and refine the Spirit Medicine.

Lu Xingchen first took out the thousand year spirit ginseng and swallowed it in one bite.
