210: Probe

Li Qi's expression remained calm as he arrived at Dragon Sunflower Island.

He was a regular visitor here, so many Disciples were not surprised by his arrival and hurried over to pay their respects.

After responding to each of the Disciples, Feng Yuqin soon arrived as well.

"Li Qi."

Feng Yuqin beamed with a radiant smile; it seemed that Li Qi's arrival always put her in an exceptionally good mood.

Li Qi said calmly, as he always did, "Let's go for a walk together."

"Okay."

The two left together, flying away from Dragon Sunflower Island. A group of Disciples from the island watched their receding figures with looks of admiration.

"I went to the Scripture Pavilion earlier and saw your brother."

"You must mean Feng Xiuran, right?" The Feng Family was a large Family, and Feng Yuqin had many brothers, but she guessed that Li Qi was referring to Feng Xiuran.

Li Qi nodded slowly. "Yes. He has been very kind to me and shared many insights regarding cultivation in the World King Realm."

Feng Yuqin looked enlightened. "That makes sense. Since you are both experts in the World King Realm, you must have plenty to talk about."

At this point, a look of despondency appeared on Feng Yuqin's face.

"Unlike you, I am still in the Divine Soul Realm. Let alone achieving the World King Realm... I fear I won't even be able to reach a Breakthrough to the Yan Fa Realm anytime soon."

Li Qi chuckled. "Don't worry. You will have a Breakthrough soon enough."

As he spoke, Li Qi took a jade bottle from his robes and handed it to Feng Yuqin.

"This is for you. Put it away quickly, and don't let anyone else see it."

Seeing Li Qi's mysterious demeanor, Feng Yuqin immediately tucked the jade bottle away. "What is this?"

Li Qi responded with a question, "You know I've been to the Danxia Abode, right?"

"Mhm."

Li Qi chuckled. "This is a treasure I found at the Danxia Abode, called the Purple Jade Barrier-Breaking Pill."

"This Medicinal Pill can remove the obstacles a user encounters during a Realm Breakthrough, allowing them to successfully advance to the next Realm. It can increase the chance of a successful Breakthrough by about forty percent."

Upon learning the effects of the Purple Jade Barrier-Breaking Pill, Feng Yuqin was shocked, then couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Her eyes shimmered, and she murmured,

"This is too precious... I cannot accept it."

Li Qi didn't mind at all and winked at Feng Yuqin.

"I submitted a portion of the Purple Jade Barrier-Breaking Pills to the Sect, but I kept some for myself. Just keep it."

Li Qi valued Feng Yuqin; she had shown him rare kindness and had helped him resolve quite a few troubles. It was only right to repay her with a Purple Jade Barrier-Breaking Pill today.

After accepting the Medicinal Pill, Feng Yuqin was overjoyed, and Li Qi took the opportunity to say,

"Senior Brother Feng has treated me well. If the opportunity arises, I must invite him out to properly thank him."

Feng Yuqin waved her hand. "Don't be so formal. We are all Family; doing that would be treating him like a stranger."

Having steered the conversation toward Feng Xiuran, Li Qi took the opportunity to say,

"I still remember when I first joined the Sect, I heard people on the flying boat mentioning Senior Brother Feng, saying he had killed quite a few Great Heavenly Devils on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield..."

"Now that I am in the World King Realm as well, I fear it won't be long before I have to make a trip to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield myself."

A look of recollection appeared on Feng Yuqin's face. "That's right. About five months ago, Brother Xiuran did make a trip to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield... but it is very dangerous there—even more dangerous than the World Sea. You must be careful."

Li Qi raised an eyebrow. "Very dangerous?"

Feng Yuqin's expression turned serious. "I don't think I've told you this before, but before Brother Xiuran headed to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, he spent three whole months preparing within the Sect."

"Even so, he was still injured on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield and required a significant amount of time to recover after his return. Those Heavenly Devils are not only immensely powerful but also exceptionally cunning."

Li Qi understood; he had obtained the information he needed.

Before heading to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, Feng Xiuran hadn't gone anywhere else; he had spent those three months preparing within the Sect...

After returning, he hadn't wandered around either, but stayed in the Sect to heal...

During that entire period, Feng Xiuran had only visited the Heavenly Devil Battlefield once!

This situation aligned with the Sword Soul's assessment. It was highly likely that Feng Xiuran had inadvertently come into contact with an Alien Devil on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, thereby becoming contaminated with the Alien Devil's aura.

It seemed that he would have to pay a visit to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield.

Having made up his mind, Li Qi chatted with Feng Yuqin about the Heavenly Devil Battlefield and learned more information about it.

"Li Qi, you must have only just opened up one world, right?"

"Yes."

"I suggest you don't rush to head to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. Wait until you have reached the 'Two Realms' level before you go."

"The Heavenly Devils there are extremely powerful; you will only have a guarantee of safety once you reach the 'Two Realms' level."

Li Qi nodded with a smile. "Rest assured, I am not that reckless..."

Half a month passed.

Li Qi's "One Realm" had completely stabilized, and he was prepared to begin opening up his second world.

As for how to open up his second world... he had already decided.

It would be... Fire!
