Outside the West Gate, all ethnic groups gathered

【Heavenly Ice Triple Transformation: Mortal Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique (Can devour water spirit stones to increase its grade)】

【Rank: Level 1 (Can devour Cultivation Techniques of the same attribute to increase its Rank)】

【Function 1: Ice Sublimation (Can increase all attributes by 50% within 10 minutes. After use, it enters a weakened state, all attributes -20%, lasting 60 minutes.)】

【Function 2: Ice Enhancement (All ice-attribute skill power increased by 25%.)】

After reading the introduction, wasn't this just Xiao Huohuo's cheat! It was just a different attribute.

Lu Yao knew this Cultivation Technique wasn't suitable for him, but it could be upgraded, so devouring it directly would be a bit wasteful.

"Yi Mo follows an ice attribute path, and her contracted spirit pet is also extreme ice attribute. This Cultivation Technique is perfect for her."

Thinking of this, Lu Yao immediately opened the trade interface and sent the [Heavenly Ice Triple Transformation] to her.

Qin Yimo, who had just reunited with Mahi, saw the trade information and was momentarily stunned.

"Mortal Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique?"

Qin Yimo was full of confusion. Why would Lu Yao send her something like this? The Cultivation Technique she was currently Cultivating was a Mortal Rank High Grade one. Was Lu Yao giving it to her to devour and absorb?

"Yi Mo, here's a good Cultivation Technique for you. You can switch your Cultivation Technique to this one."

Amidst her confusion, Lu Yao sent a message.

Qin Yimo became even more curious. She quickly checked the [Heavenly Ice Triple Transformation] and then understood what Lu Yao meant by "good."

A Cultivation Technique that could be upgraded was definitely much more valuable than the one she was currently learning.

"Okay."

She no longer said thank you, only remembering Lu Yao's kindness in her heart.

Afterward, she replaced her current Cultivation Technique with this one.

Because the Cultivation Technique she had previously learned was also ice-attribute, it was of the same attribute, so it could be directly converted into Cultivation Technique experience.

A moment later, she felt her attributes decrease slightly.

But she knew that once she used [Ice Sublimation] from the Cultivation Technique, her strength would greatly increase! A 50% increase in all attributes would allow her to surpass Body Tempering Tenth Level and reach the Lianqi Realm!

And [Ice Enhancement] could further increase skill power by 25%. Therefore, although she lost some attributes, her strength truly increased.

She instantly understood how good the Cultivation Technique Lu Yao had given her was.

It was just that upgrading it was harder than other Cultivation Techniques, as it could only devour Cultivation Techniques of the same attribute. As for the water spirit stones needed for upgrading, just to go from Mortal Rank Low Grade to Medium Grade, ten were required, and she currently had none.

However, she believed that where there's a will, there's a way.

Lu Yao had already given her such a good Cultivation Technique, so what reason did she have not to work hard to find these Materials?

She opened the Map and, following the route Lu Yao had previously told her, searched for treasure chests and monsters with Mahi.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao continued to advance towards the Inner City.

After several days of searching, most of the monsters in the Outer City had been cleared out. Lu Yao walked for more than ten li and didn't even encounter a single skeleton or wandering spirit.

Therefore, he headed straight for the West Gate of the Inner City.

At least there, there was a second-order ghost gatekeeper.

On the way, he encountered a white treasure chest. Because it was hidden quite deeply, no one had discovered it, so Lu Yao conveniently opened it.

By the time he reached the West Gate of the Inner City, more than half an hour had passed.

At this time, many people had gathered at the West Gate.

There were Human Race, Angels, Earth Spirit Clan, and Demon Race undead, among others.

Since there were almost no monsters left in the Outer City, everyone naturally set their sights on the Inner City. However, the second-order ghost gatekeeper blocked their way.

Although there were many beings present, no one dared to make the first move.

After all, the strongest among them was only an Elder of the Earth Spirit Clan, with Lianqi First Level strength. And Hejin · Xikali, the Alliance Leader of the Ten Thousand Magnet King Rise Alliance, also had Lianqi First Level strength. He had undergone Qi Condensation twice and still had two more opportunities. His strength was much stronger than the Elder of the Earth Spirit Clan.

But in the complex situation at the scene, he, who originally had no confidence against a second-order ghost, naturally did not dare to make the first move.

More than a hundred people were in a stalemate outside the West Gate.

"Elder Peak Not Flat, it's not going to work if we keep this stalemate here. How about we join forces? Our people and yours can attack this second-order ghost together. Whoever kills it, it belongs to them, and the other party shall not cause trouble." Hejin walked up to Peak Not Flat of the Earth Spirit Clan and proposed the idea of cooperation.

However, although Peak Not Flat was short and looked like an uncarved stone, appearing unintelligent, he was actually very shrewd.

He saw through Hejin's intentions at a glance and decisively refused, "Alliance Leader Hejin, you have so many people, dealing with a second-order ghost should be no problem. Feel free to kill it; I guarantee that our Earth Spirit Clan will not interfere."

Peak Not Flat knew very well that Hejin's overall advantage was stronger than theirs, especially in terms of mobility. Once they engaged the second-order ghost, they could quickly retreat, while the Earth Spirit Clan would only be left to take the blows.

Therefore, he would not fall for this trick.

Furthermore, there were several other factions nearby. Even if Hejin genuinely cooperated, would those factions just stand by and watch them kill the second-order ghost? They would definitely intervene when they were about to kill the ghost, seizing the opportunity to snatch it.

Seeing that Peak Not Flat wouldn't fall for it, Hejin · Xikali left with a resentful look and retreated to his own camp.

His true purpose, of course, was not to cooperate with the Earth Spirit Clan, but merely to let the Earth Spirit Clan consume the strength of that second-order ghost.

He just didn't expect this seemingly unintelligent guy to be so cunning.

"Everyone, there are no more monsters in the Outer City. If we can't get through this gate, everyone will just have to wait here, wasting time. How about we all work together to eliminate this blocking ghost?"

Hejin was not reconciled and continued to incite other factions.

But others were not fools; they clearly knew that if they went, they would only be cannon fodder, so no faction responded.

Hejin was very angry. If only he had learned a bit of Dragon Country's history and culture, he would surely have blurted out: "You fools are not worth conspiring with!"

Unfortunately, he lacked the culture and could only sulk.

"This Human Race really takes us for fools. A single move from a second-order ghost can kill a large group of us. Whoever goes, dies!"

"I just want to sneak through this gate. Whoever wants to go, can go."

"Currently, there should be only a few people who can kill second-order wild monsters, right?"

"With the combined strength of our entire clan, perhaps there's still hope."

"Perhaps, only the God of Slaughter can do it."

Just as everyone was discussing, a figure suddenly walked from the main west street. The sounds of discussion immediately quieted down, until they disappeared.

All beings looked at him, holding their breath.

They dared not make a sound, and the area outside the West Gate of the Inner City became exceptionally quiet.

Everyone only dared to think silently in their hearts,

"Damn, he actually came!"

"Will he kill us? Should we run now?"

"Let's see what others do. If others run, I'll run immediately."

"Is this the aura of the God of Slaughter? I can feel immense pressure from a distance."

"I didn't expect the God of Slaughter to be such a refined and handsome man."

Thump thump!

Thump thump!

Everyone's heartbeats grew louder and louder.
