345: Ninth-grade elixir

A pure spiritual energy surged into Lu Xingchen's body, giving him a very comfortable feeling.

At the same time, a System prompt sounded in his ear.

"Congratulations to the host for consuming a thousand year spirit ginseng, gaining 100 million experience points!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing his Realm to Nine-star Martial Ancestor, gaining 69 talent points!"

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

As expected, this thousand year spirit ginseng was also useful to him.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen took out the fire spirit spike and began to absorb it.

The absorption of the thousand year spirit ginseng was done with the help of the System, so it was completed in an instant, while the absorption of the fire spirit spike took a bit longer.

It took a full half-day for Lu Xingchen to complete the absorption.

He felt that the fire-attribute Dou Qi within his body had strengthened considerably, no longer weaker than a low-star Martial Venerable.

This was the powerful strength of the fire spirit spike, allowing one to possess the ability to fight above their Realm.

His two Senior Brother and Senior Sister were still in the process of absorbing, so Lu Xingchen did not waste time, but sat cross-legged on the ground, activating the "Taiyi Soul Art" to temper his Soul Power.

Although Cultivating here was not as fast as Cultivating in the Soul Nurturing Tower, every little bit added up.

Three days passed quickly, and the three reunited.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "How is it, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, did you gain anything?"

Xu Qing excitedly said, "The thousand year spirit ginseng is truly a good thing. In just these short three days, my Realm broke through from Ten-star Martial Ancestor to Martial Venerable. From now on, I won't be afraid of close combat when fighting others!"

Li Changbai also had a smile on his face: "I also made a Breakthrough. I advanced from One-Star Martial Venerable to Two-Star Martial Venerable. But that's not the main point; the main point is that the Xuanzhu Grass stabilized my Soul Realm, making up for the after-effects of power infusion, greatly reducing the time it will take for me to impact the next Realm."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It seems we really struck it rich this time!"

Li Changbai said with a smile, "Indeed. I'm already very satisfied to have gained so much. But this trip to the Martial Saints Cave Mansion isn't over yet, let's continue forward!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Okay, let's continue!"

So Li Changbai put away the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation," and the three continued to fly deeper into the Immortal Cave.

After half a day, the three finally arrived at a Plaza.

On the outskirts of the Plaza, the forces of the other three Sects had all gathered.

The two Martial Venerables from Liang Yi Sect, the two Martial Venerables from Chiyan Sect, and the three Martial Venerables from Yinkui Sect were all gathered here.

In the center of the Plaza, there was a fair-skinned, beautiful woman in a white dress, exuding graceful charm.

Lu Xingchen looked at the top of her head, and sure enough, there were the four large characters "Eight-Star Martial Venerable."

The three walked into the crowd.

Li Changbai loudly said, "Li Changbai of Lingyun Sect greets all Fellow Daoists! May I ask why you have stopped advancing?"

The leader of Yinkui Sect said in a deep voice, "Wang Yuan of Yinkui Sect greets Fellow Daoist."

"Do you see that fair-skinned, beautiful woman in the center of the Plaza? That is a ninth-grade elixir that has taken human form, and also the greatest Opportunity of this Immortal Cave trip."

"The Cave Mansion Owner has set up a Formation in the Plaza to prevent her from leaving. As long as we can defeat her, we can obtain a ninth-grade elixir!"

Upon hearing this, all three were greatly surprised.

"A Medicinal Pill taking human form? Is there such a strange thing in the world?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "This ninth-grade elixir already possesses the strength of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat her on our own, won't it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan was startled.

"I only knew her Realm after attempting to fight her earlier. Lu Dazhuang, you just arrived here, how did you discern her Realm?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "That's my secret, no comment. Let's discuss how to defeat this ninth-grade elixir!"

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Suit yourself. This ninth-grade elixir just took human form not long ago. Her Eight-Star Martial Venerable Realm is due to her own quality, but her Soul Power is weaker, having just reached Spirit Realm Great Perfection."

"I think, if we wait for the Fellow Daoists from Lingyun Sect and Qingnang Sect to arrive, and use Soul attacks to suppress her state, we might be able to win."

Li Changbai nodded slightly and chuckled, "That is indeed possible. The people from Qingnang Sect have already been dealt with by us, so there's no need to wait for them. Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was greatly shocked.

"What? The people from Qingnang Sect were dealt with? Those were two Eighth-Grade Alchemists!"

"If Li Chuang finds out about this, he'll definitely turn hostile towards Lingyun Sect!"

"Li Changbai is truly unrestrained in his arrogance, daring to kill an Eighth-Grade Alchemist!"

"This is good. The Alliance between Lingyun Sect and Qingnang Sect will definitely break, and we can also get a share."

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Without the help of Qingnang Sect, can Lingyun Sect alone heavily injure that ninth-grade elixir?"

Li Changbai chuckled, "My Soul Power has already broken through to the Heaven Realm Soul. Dealing with a Spirit Realm Great Perfection is still not a big problem."

In the battle with the ninth-grade elixir, his strength would inevitably be exposed, so Li Changbai was not afraid of others knowing.

Hearing Li Changbai's words, the entire audience was once again stunned.

"What, Heaven Realm Soul! Lingyun Sect used to rely solely on Liu Ruyan, an Early Heaven Realm, to suppress a region. Now that Li Changbai has also broken through to the Heaven Realm, isn't it like a Dragon growing two wings?"

"No wonder Li Changbai dared to kill the Eighth-Grade Alchemist of Qingnang Sect, he had something to rely on!"

"Two Heaven Realm in one Sect, Lingyun Sect is going to become the strongest Sect in the Western Zhongzhou!"

"Needless to say, Li Changbai must have obtained many good things from this Martial Saints Cave Mansion!"

Hearing this, Wang Yuan's expression darkened, then he forced a smile and said softly, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Li Changbai is so confident, it turns out he has broken through to the Heaven Realm Soul. In that case, we have even more confidence in this battle!"

Li Changbai chuckled, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Wang Yuan said with a smile, "Since that's the case, let the strongest person from each Sect participate. Let's challenge this ninth-grade elixir together!"

Li Changbai nodded slightly, "That's how it should be."

For Lingyun Sect, it was naturally Li Changbai.

For Liang Yi Sect, it was Li Fa.

For Chiyan Sect, it was a Four-star Martial Venerable named Wang Chen.

For Yinkui Sect, it was Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan led the way, with Li Fa and Wang Chen in the middle, and Li Changbai at the end. The four flew into the Plaza together.

The beautiful woman, who had been feigning sleep, opened her eyes and looked at the four, a hint of anger appearing on her face.

"Ignorant humans, I've already defeated you, and yet you dare to come in and seek a beating again? If it weren't for that Saint's Restriction, I would have killed all of you long ago!"

Wang Yuan sneered.

"yin-yang dragon power pill, don't be too arrogant! This time, I will definitely refine and absorb you!"
