91: Chapter 91: A Challenge to Cao Ci, the Battle of the Four Realms!

Atop the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Yang Simu narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the distant Wilderness World, and smiled calmly.

"Xiao Bai, you can't be blamed for this."

"First, stabilize the Qi within your body; it's also a good time for me to practice my fist techniques."

After saying that, Yang Simu took out a lustrous, high-grade snake gall stone from his Spatial artifact and handed it to Xiao Bai.

"Young Master..."

Seeing that Xiao Bai was reluctant to accept the snake gall stone, Yang Simu's voice immediately turned serious.

"If I tell you to take it, then take it!"

"Only after you reach the Upper Five Realms sooner can you do more for me."

Hearing this, Xiao Bai pursed her red lips slightly and then carefully took the priceless snake gall stone.

Under Yang Simu's gaze, Xiao Bai swallowed the snake gall stone.

In an instant, a faint layer of colored light emanated from the woman's jade-white skin, and dragon scales faintly emerged.

Yang Simu nodded slightly, extremely satisfied.

This was the second snake gall stone Xiao Bai had swallowed.

Although she was suppressed by the laws of this world upon arriving at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, was it not also a way to temper her physique and Dao Heart?

Yang Simu's plan was that once Xiao Bai entered the Upper Five Realms, he could head to the Wilderness World to complete his deal with Old Man Yang.

Xiao Bai began to close her eyes and rest her spirit.

The aura on her body was continuously surging!

Fearing a recurrence of the previous trouble, Yang Simu simply released the Golden Armored Deity from the Crystal Grotto-Heaven.

He asked Xiao Jin to help isolate Xiao Bai's aura.

Subsequently, Yang Simu released the four of them in turn: the blond youth transformed from the Golden Carp, the Green-Clad Girl manifested from the black dragon wood carving, the Water Dragon Tan Xue, and the four-legged snake Han Su.

After leaving the Lizhu Blessed Land, they had each swallowed a snake gall stone.

When the group left Old Dragon City for Daoxuan Mountain, Huang Zhong finally condensed a Golden Core within his body on the Floating Mountain Immortal Ferry, successfully advancing from the Dragon Gate Realm to the Golden Core Stage!

A common saying among Qi Practitioners on the mountains is, "Only upon becoming a Golden Core guest does one truly become one of our kind!"

The reason this saying is so widely circulated is that a Cultivator first opens their apertures and then forms a core.

Forming a core is like adding the finishing touch to a dragon painting; it is only then that a Qi Practitioner truly begins to enter the inner sanctum of cultivation!

Before forming a core, a Cultivator visualizes a scene in their heart that best resonates with their intent, known as a Core Chamber, and only then do they form the core.

Yang Simu heard from Huang Zhong that his Core Chamber was the covered bridge over Longxu Creek in the Lizhu Blessed Land.

When Huang Zhong formed his core, a faint golden light appeared amidst the rising mist around him.

The Green-Clad Girl was still in the Golden Core Stage; after all, nurturing one's Nascent Soul and joining the ranks of Earth Immortals is a very important threshold for a Cultivator.

Once a Qi Practitioner nurtures a Nascent Soul, also known as the Natal Primordial Spirit, the Nascent Soul can leave the body in place of the practitioner to wander between heaven and earth.

The tales recorded in the streets about absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and consuming the morning glow and evening dew for cultivation refer to Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage!

However, the Green-Clad Girl herself was not skilled in combat, so her cultivation progress was slower, and Yang Simu would not rush her.

The yellow-clad boy Han Su advanced from the Guan Hai Realm to the Dragon Gate Realm on the night they first arrived at Daoxuan Mountain.

As for the Nascent Soul Stage little loach Tan Xue, ever since Yang Simu had her and Xiao Bai exchange the mountain demon pot for the bright evil-suppressing mirror, she hadn't been very attentive to her cultivation.

In response, Yang Simu could only have the Golden Armored Deity take 'special care' of Tan Xue in the Crystal Grotto-Heaven.

Ultimately, except for the Golden Armored Deity who was already in the Jade Purity Realm, the other four individuals Yang Simu brought from the Lizhu Blessed Land each received a second high-grade snake gall stone.

Yang Simu's requirement was that after consuming this second snake gall stone, they must seize the time to Cultivate, ideally breaking through to another realm within half a year!

With this, only four of the fifteen high-grade snake gall stones he had intercepted from the little runny-nosed kid Gu Can remained.

And these last four snake gall stones were for Huang Zhong, Xiao Qing, Tan Xue, Han Su, and Xiao Bai; whoever could break through a realm would get one, and two for breaking through two realms!

After a slight hesitation, Yang Simu released the Huangquan Spider and the Spring Dream Spider.

These two little fellows had the weakest cultivation and were trembling with fear from the Sword Qi of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

However, Wang Zhu seemed to have a soft spot for them and was willing to look after them a bit.

On this trip to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Yang Simu did not have Chu Ce come with them, but instead told him to wait two or three days before coming.

The reason he did this...

Was because Yang Simu had decided to seek out Cao Ci for their first Fist-Questioning match in three days!

What is the fastest way to make money at the Great Wall of Sword Qi?

Besides going out of the city to kill demons, it's being the bookmaker for bets!

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

In the distance, a youth in white came practicing his fist techniques!

Cao Ci was not the type of ordinary martial artist with a leopard-like head, round eyes, a swallow's neck, and tiger whiskers.

On the contrary, if one hadn't seen the swift and overbearing nature of Cao Ci's punches with their own eyes, they might think he was just an elegant Confucian student!

While Yang Simu looked toward Cao Ci, the latter also looked over here.

In the past, Cao Ci only practiced his fist techniques in front of the thatched huts on the city wall.

However, just now, in the dark, he seemed to feel a pull of Fist Intent, which was why he specifically came here.

For Cao Ci, the thing that made him happiest was meeting a fellow martial artist of the same realm who, like him, demanded the ultimate speed in their punches!

Almost at the same time, both Yang Simu and Cao Ci stopped their practice movements.

Cao Ci walked over slowly, not caring in the slightest about the presence of several powerful Yao Race auras here.

Yang Simu waved his hand to Xiao Bai, Tan Xue, and the others, signaling that he would handle this himself.

He strode forward and asked loudly, "Are you Cao Ci?"

Hearing this, Cao Ci smiled. "I didn't expect you to already know my name, yet I still don't know yours?"

Yang Simu chuckled. "I believe that in the future, you will remember the name Yang Simu forever!"

Cao Ci's pupils constricted slightly as he asked in a deep voice, "You obtained the martial fortune of the strongest third realm?"

Yang Simu smiled calmly and nodded.

"That was only because at that time, I had already advanced to the fourth realm as the strongest third realm!" Cao Ci smiled with narrowed eyes.

Yang Simu clicked his tongue twice. "The reason for that is simply because Brother Cao started practicing martial arts a few years earlier than me and has the number one person in martial arts across the four worlds as a Master."

"Unlike me, my fist manual was obtained from an old man in the backyard of a pharmacy, my fist techniques were taught by a farmer, and my fist-feeding was done by a gatekeeper."

Is there anything wrong with that statement?

Nothing wrong at all!

Yang Simu and Cao Ci seemed like old friends meeting for the first time, talking about everything.

However, both sides were merely testing each other!

After all, the path of martial arts is all about the word 'struggle'!

And now, both Yang Simu and Cao Ci are in the fourth realm!

As people who had both received the gift of martial fortune from the strongest third realm, they naturally wanted to obtain the opportunity to break through to the strongest fourth realm!

"Do you dare to have a Fist-Questioning match with me?" Cao Ci said solemnly.

He had an intuition in his heart that the green-clad youth before him was definitely his greatest rival for life!

Yang Simu replied calmly, "I have only just arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi."

"Then name a time," Cao Ci said urgently.

"How about three days from now?" Yang Simu said composedly.

Cao Ci nodded heavily. "Good, it's a deal!"

"In three days, I'll wait for you here!"

"I'll try to have another chapter out tonight!"
