CHAPTER 401 - HANGING MOUNTAIN

Of course, he could also tell that this person was actually quite a nice person. He brought enthusiasm with him, but it was only because his chatty attitude made people unable to stand him.

As for the surrounding people, when they saw the simple and honest man pulling Yang Xie flying through the air, all of them felt sympathy for Yang Xie.

After listening for a while, Yang Xie saw that the other party still did not say where he should go to practice his sect's cultivation technique, so he laughed bitterly and interrupted: This senior brother, I want to ask where I should cultivate my sect's cultivation technique, I do not want to know if my cultivation technique is stronger.

Hearing this, the simple and honest man was stunned. He knew that he had been too preoccupied with his words, so he awkwardly smiled and said, Junior brother, please don't blame me. Senior brother hasn't chatted with anyone for a long time.

Looking at the other party's expression, Yang Xie could guess that it had been a long time since someone had spoken to him and he was also holding back. He could not help but feel sympathy for this person.

Junior brother, all of My Sword Sect's cultivation techniques are recorded in the 'Sword Arts Pavilion'. This pavilion has countless of cultivation techniques, I wonder what kind of cultivation technique junior brother would like to learn? The simple and honest man asked.

Swordsmanship. Yang Xie said without hesitation.

'My Sword Sect' is dominated by the sword. It is just right for junior brother to train in sword arts. The simple and honest man nodded and continued, Junior Brother, that 'Sword Arts Pavilion' is on the 'Floating Mountain'. I'll bring you over to take a look.

While they were talking, the two of them had already summoned their light beams and charged towards the 'Floating Mountain' that the other party had mentioned.

The mountain was thousands of feet high, and the huge mountain was suspended in the air with clouds and mist swirling around its waist. At this moment, sunlight shone down, illuminating the mountain with a golden light, and there were even white cranes flying from time to time. The white feathers gathered together, making it look like a fairyland!

Yang Xie looked at the mountain, his face revealing a look of shock, although the mountain was not high, but suspended in mid air, this scene was truly shocking.

It is said that one of the great elders of the My Sword Sect cut down a mountain, then refined it into a treasure and placed it in the air. That is how the 'Sword Arts Pavilion' came about. The simple and honest man explained.

Along the way, this honest man did not stay idle either. He chattered nonstop about introducing Yang Xie to the various matters of the sect, because the information was just what Yang Xie needed. Therefore, Yang Xie could only listen patiently.

During the process, Yang Xie found out that this person's name was actually 'Hua Lao' from the other party. It could be said that this person was like his name, and was indeed 'chatty'.

Hearing that the mountain was actually a treasure, Yang Xie was even more shocked. He never thought that the mountain would actually be a treasure!

There was a pavilion built on top of the mountain peak and it was extremely spacious. It was around 500 feet wide and within the pavilion, there were jade walls that were dozens of feet tall and there were close to 100 of them.

At the moment, there were already many disciples from 'My Sword Sect' standing in front of the stone wall, observing endlessly. Another person took out their identity token and placed it on the stone wall, only to see a ray of light surging out from the stone wall, enveloping the person, and then to see him falling onto the ground, his expression changing unsteadily, as though he had fallen into some kind of illusion.

The name of the stone wall is Jade Wall, and each side has recorded a martial art. The name of the stone wall is Jade Wall, and each side has recorded a martial art.

The second level contains a total of 399 types of peerless techniques, each of which have earth-shaking power. Junior Brother Nie, I think you have just entered the sect. Although the cultivation technique on the second floor is powerful, it requires a lot of Swordwork Value. My guess is that you don't have a lot of Swordwork Value right now, so why don't you first exchange it for an absolute art. In the future, when the Swordwork Value is high enough, you can then exchange it for some profound techniques. " Hua Lao opened his mouth to suggest, and then continued to introduce himself to Yang Xie.

If you exchange Junior Brother Nie for absolute arts, I have a few techniques that I think are not bad, one of them is called 'Falling Rain Sword Technique', when used, it is like rain, there is nowhere to hide, and there is also the 'Returning Wind Sword Technique', where the sword is focused on speed, the sword is like lightning, there is nowhere to hide!

Hua Lao began to chatter uncontrollably again, but fortunately for him, Yang Xie had adapted to it. The moment he opened his mouth, he chose to ignore them.

He walked straight to one of the jade walls and imitated how the other disciples looked. He took out his sect's order badge and placed it on one of the jade walls, and immediately, the jade wall lit up, releasing a ray of light that shot out and entered Yang Xie's mind.

In the next moment, Yang Xie felt a series of images appearing in his mind. There was a man holding a sword in his hand, wielding a long sword, his Sword Qi shooting in all directions, it was extremely sharp and seemed to be able to break through the wall!

However, this sword technique stopped before half the time. At the same time, the image in his mind gradually disappeared, and his mind returned to normal.

He knew that this was because he did not have any Swordwork Value and was unable to exchange for anything. Thus, he could only watch for a while, and when the time came, the images in his mind would automatically disappear.

Although this technique was powerful, it was not comparable to the 'Taixuan Sword Art' and the 'Manifestation Sword Art' that he had learned, and was not the sword technique that he wanted to learn, so Yang Xie directly walked to the other side of the jade wall and looked at it again.

What was recorded on the jade wall was actually a palm technique. This palm technique opened and closed with the momentum of a fierce tiger. It seemed to have the power to open a mountain. It was also quite a powerful technique.

Looking at the cultivation methods, Yang Xie took almost two hours to finish looking through all the methods on the first level, but he still could not see the sword technique that Nie Yong had displayed that day.

Senior Brother Hua, do you know if there is a cultivation technique that accompanied the phenomenon of the bright moon and great river? Returning to his senses, Yang Xie turned and asked Hua Lao who was still chattering non-stop.

This Hua Lao was truly a weirdo, even though he looked simple and honest on the outside, he had so many secrets, but other than his nagging, he was a good person, otherwise he would not have brought him here.

The phenomenon where the bright moon and the great river accompany each other? Hearing this, Hua Lao's expression froze. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "According to what I know, among the cultivation methods in the first and second floors, there is no such cultivation method as you described. I wonder where you saw this kind of cultivation method, if it comes from the inner sect disciples, then it should be in the third floor, but the third floor requires the identity of an inner sect disciple to go up.

The meaning behind his words, Hua Lao was advising Yang Xie to not think about those three levels of cultivation technique, after all, he saw that Yang Xie was only a Late Leading to Heaven Realm cultivator, and at most an outer sect disciple, and even just an honorary disciple.

Yang Xie smiled slightly: Nothing, I knew that I saw that this technique was very powerful, so I asked.

Yang Xie did not reveal the fact that he was an inner disciple. Firstly, his cultivation was not convincing enough, and secondly, he did not want to offend his opponent.

Hearing this, Hua Lao's heart relaxed, and he laughed: That's good, then Junior Brother, did you set your eyes on that cultivation technique?

I've seen too many of them. I'm a bit dazzled, and I feel that they're all pretty good. However, there are a lot of Swordwork Value that we need, so I plan to save up a few more Swordwork Value and use them to exchange for a few cultivation techniques. Yang Xie casually found a reason.

Yes, Junior Martial Brother, your thoughts are correct. As the saying goes, the mind is divided into two. If everything goes together, one must not specialize in the cultivation of ten thousand techniques. Hearing that, Hua Lao nodded his head in agreement.

Then does Senior Brother Hua know what kind of mission can allow us to quickly accumulate Swordwork Value? Yang Xie asked. If it was as Hua Lao had said, then Nie Yong's sword technique came from the third floor, then he had to accumulate enough Swordwork Value, and he definitely did not have much time.

This is hard to say. Tian Hua Hall releases various sect missions every day, and because of the difference in difficulty, the rewards for the Swordwork Value are different as well. However, if you want to quickly accumulate Swordwork Value, there is a suitable place for it, but it is just too dangerous. As Hua Lao said that, his expression became strange.

Oh? It really is. What kind of mission is it?" Yang Xie's face brightened as he asked.

Caretaker of the pill furnace? Hua Lao said.

Caretaker of the pill furnace? Yang Xie revealed a face of doubt, he did not know why the guard pill furnace was so dangerous.

He was suspicious for a while, but Yang Xie opened his mouth to inquire, just that this time, he was uncharacteristically slow, and stuttered. In the end, he threw down one last sentence, You'll know once you go.

Seeing that, Yang Xie became even more suspicious, faintly feeling that the mission was not as simple as he had imagined.

Carrying doubts, Yang Xie came to the 'Tian Hua Hall'. Because he had come here once, Yang Xie could be considered to be quite familiar with it.

After half an hour of searching, Yang Xie finally found the mission that Hua Lao mentioned on the crystal wall.

For guarding the pill furnace for the Elder Ge for a month, you will be rewarded with a hundred thousand spirit stones or a hundred thousand Swordwork Value.

The reward is really high, actually a full hundred thousand Swordwork Value were rewarded! Yang Xie was slightly surprised. In the previous missions, most of them were rewarded with a lot of spirit stones, while the number of Swordwork Value was extremely small. The highest reward was at most ten thousand.

However, the reward for this quest was no less than a hundred thousand Swordwork Value, but the spirit stones were extremely rare, and did not match up to the Swordwork Value at all.

Just now, from the first level of the 'Sword Arts Pavilion' cultivation technique, I would at most need around ten thousand Swordwork Value to exchange for it. I wonder if I can exchange it for that cultivation technique? Yang Xie thought, but he knew that this could be considered to be the fastest choice, if it were any other mission, he would probably need a long time to accumulate the hundred thousand Swordwork Value.

VIP Chapter

CHAPTER 402 - PEAK OF MEDICINE

However, such an expensive mission like the Swordwork Value, yet no one was interested in it, which made Yang Xie feel even more uneasy and felt that this mission was a little strange.

That meant that any disciple could take it, and his strength was now comparable to a promoting spirit and qi expert's. Even if there was anything wrong with the mission, he was confident that he would be able to handle it.

Under everyone's shock, Yang Xie accepted the mission and without stopping, left the 'Tian Hua Palace'.

After exiting the Sky Flower Hall, Yang Xie followed the instructions on the mission and came to the Precious Medicine Peak. Of course, the reason he could find the mountain so quickly was all because of Hua Lao.

That Hua Lao was indeed as he had said. Not only was he familiar with the various sizes of the 'My Sword Sect', he also had an extremely deep understanding of the various matters of the sect, as if he knew everything.

According to the mission description, he wanted to help Elder Ge of the Precious Medicine Peak to look after the pill furnace. He had asked that Hua Lao know about this Elder Ge and that he was an infamous pill master of the My Sword Sect.

What made him relieved was that although Elder Ge was a highly respected pill master, his cultivation was only at the four kinds of qi realm. As a result, he did not need to worry that others would see through his identity.

It was just that when he thought about it, he still had to worry about taking missions in the future, which made Yang Xie very distressed. This was because it meant that some missions with very high rewards were also impossible to take, otherwise, it would be very easy for others to see through them.

Therefore, Yang Xie secretly decided that he must find a chance to settle this matter in the future.

Just as he was pondering in his heart, Yang Xie had already arrived at the 'Precious Medicine Peak', and saw that the mountain was over ten kilometers high, and the entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of clouds. He knew that this was definitely an array formation set up by the Elder Ge, so he did not dare rashly step in.

His voice was like thunder, piercing through the clouds and into the mountain peak.

Not long after the voice was heard, an elderly voice came from the clouds, Come in.

As the voice faded, the cloud churned, revealing a ten foot wide hole.

Yang Xie did not hesitate as he stepped forward, and after he passed through the clouds, the clouds behind him tumbled again, closing up again, transforming into rolling white clouds that covered the mountain again.

The moment Yang Xie entered the array, he immediately felt a very dense medicinal fragrance approaching him, startled him. Looking forward, he saw that the mountain was filled with all sorts of spirit herbs, practically covering the entire mountain, the spirit herbs were swaying in the wind, and the dense medicinal fragrance filled the entire world.

The mountain was thousands of metres high, and the spirit herbs and herbs on top of it were simply incalculable. Not only that, but in the middle of the mountain, Yang Xie had seen some precious herbs more than once, and he had even seen some 'Purple Thunder Flower', 'Sword Travelling Grass' and other precious herbs!

This type of medicinal herb was not the most precious of medicinal herbs. Rather, this mountain was not a mountain, much less a medicinal garden or a gigantic medicinal garden!

Just as Yang Xie was feeling shocked in his heart, an old man with messy hair walked out from inside a cave at the top of the mountain. After looking at Yang Xie, he impatiently said: Aren't you here to guard the furnace? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get down."

Hearing that, Yang Xie's body suddenly moved, he flew down from the sky and arrived in front of the old man with messy hair, then cupped his hands and bowed: Junior Nie Yong greets Senior Ge.

Just then, the old man suddenly walked forward and grabbed Yang Xie's arm. He pinched it, and his eyes lit up, using a gaze that made Yang Xie's hair stand up, and nodded his head: Not bad, not bad, this time, we should be able to hold on for a little longer.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and called out to Yang Xie: Come, follow me in.

As he spoke, he walked in front.

Yang Xie's heart jumped at the other party's strange gaze, and then heard the following words, his heart was perturbed, but since he was already here, there was no reason for him to retreat.

Yang Xie followed behind the old man and into the cave.

The moment Yang Xie entered the cave, he felt a gust of hot air blowing towards him. When he looked at the cave, he saw that it was completely red, like a hot lava wall. The interior of the cave was extremely simple, with only tables and chairs.

The old man didn't stop his footsteps and led Yang Xie through a passage to a secret room.

The chamber was not big and was only a few dozen feet in size. In the center of it was a pill furnace that was several feet large. This pill furnace had three legs and two ears and some mysterious engravings on it.

At the moment, the pill furnace was burning brightly, there was a big hole at the bottom of the furnace, flames burned fiercely inside it. The temperature was so high that Yang Xie could feel his body heat up from a few meters away.

Yang Xie's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed, Earth Vein Flame?!

This flame's temperature was extremely high, it could remove the impurities within the medicinal herbs and materials, and was the most suitable for refining pills.

Eh? You actually recognize this flame? Did you learn alchemy before?" The old man's eyes flashed with surprise as he asked.

Yes, I have. However, I have only refined some low-grade pills. Yang Xie replied. He naturally did not tell the truth, as Yang Xie did not know a thing about medicinal pellets.

Of course, as to why he was able to recognize the Earth Vein Fire, it was naturally because the Daoist Huo Long had mentioned it before.

Yes, with your cultivation, the pill formulas you can come in contact with are only low tier pills. Although they are only low tier pills, you still have refined them, so they should be able to be of some use. The Elder Ge muttered to himself. The appearance he displayed actually made Yang Xie feel a chill in his heart, though he did not know why. He had a faint feeling that this mission was not a good thing.

At this time, the Elder Ge turned his head and spoke to Yang Xie: "Alright, I believe you already guessed that this is the place where I will be refining pills. I'm currently concocting a batch of medicinal pills, and must have someone watching over the entire process. From now on, I'll watch this cauldron every day.

Also, this old man has been studying the pill formulas for a long time, so I don't have time to worry about you. Take a look at how you're going to get in and out of the array. With that, the Elder Ge flung his hand and threw a jade slip to Yang Xie. Then, he left the secret room with a bunch of messy hair.

Yang Xie took the jade scroll and looked at the empty secret room. He couldn't react for a long time, based on what he had seen before, he already had a bad premonition that this mission was definitely not going to be an easy one.

But from the looks of it, this mission seemed to be very simple. Wasn't it supposed to be guarding the pill furnace? Could it be that there was some sort of danger?

Yang Xie's mind was filled with thoughts, he stared at the pill furnace in the middle and carefully checked it, but he did not find anything amiss.

After looking for a while, Yang Xie decided not to think anymore. Since he had come, he had to complete the mission no matter what.

At that moment, Yang Xie sat cross legged on the ground, and began to quietly watch over the furnace in the middle, only to see the cauldron remained untouched, even though it was being roasted by the vein of the earth.

The earth vein fire was extremely hot, it was enough to melt normal spirit artifacts. Even though Yang Xie's body was strong, if he stayed here for too long, he would have no choice but to circulate his spirit energy to defend against the heat.

Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, half a day had already passed. However, the cauldron remained calm and tranquil without the slightest change.

At this moment, Yang Xie couldn't help but to let his guard down, as he felt that the day would soon pass like this.

However, just at this moment, the originally abnormally calm furnace suddenly started to shake. The lid began to tremble unceasingly, and the sound of 'ding ding ding' could be heard. It was as if the furnace was about to explode.

Seeing that, Yang Xie's face changed. From the looks of the pill furnace, it was clear that the pill refinement in the furnace was going to fail, as if it was going to explode.

Yang Xie opened his mouth, just as he was about to call out to Elder Ge, there was a loud bang! With a sound, the pill furnace in the middle suddenly exploded, and a strong wave of air blew up the debris in the sky, shooting it in all directions.

That piece of debris tore through the void, emitting a terrifying 'hiss' sound. One could imagine what would happen if one was struck by that piece of debris.

This is bad! Yang Xie's face changed greatly. Without thinking, the Spirit Qi in his body started to circulate rapidly, condensing into a Spirit Qi light barrier around his body, at the same time, he roared out loud, his body suddenly expanded by a size, the veins on his body bulged, using his body as the second line of defense.

Pah pah pah pah pah!

The pieces that filled the sky landed on Yang Xie's protective spirit light and after hitting the light and causing it to shake violently, they lost all their strength and fell onto the ground, creating tinkling sounds.

Yang Xie's shocked expression faded as he looked towards the center. The originally huge cauldron had now disappeared, leaving behind only a pile of black ash and fragments on the ground. The fragments were naturally the cauldron, and the black ash was probably the pill furnace.

Sigh, what a pity, this cauldron of pills is about to succeed, why would it suddenly explode again? Strange, what's wrong? At this time, the stone door of the private room that was initially closed opened, the Elder Ge that left earlier came back, staring at the pill furnace with a face full of regret.

Hearing that, Yang Xie's face became extremely ugly. From Elder Ge's words, it was obvious that the pill furnace had exploded twice, and at that moment, he finally understood the danger Hua Lao was talking about. Why would those people be unwilling to accept this mission? Why did this old man say those words earlier?

Although the explosion wasn't fatal, it was very difficult for those with low cultivation to withstand it. They would inevitably suffer light injuries, and those with high cultivation were unwilling to accept such a tedious mission. That was why up until now, no one had any interest in this mission.

At the moment, Yang Xie did not know how long it would take for the pill to explode, but thinking about how often it would explode, Yang Xie could only bitterly smile, and realised what kind of mission he had accepted.

VIP Chapter

CHAPTER 403 - DARK SURGE

If not for his strength being far stronger than his peers, the explosion earlier would have left him with some minor injuries.

Eh? You actually didn't get injured. Hmm, looks like you're quite strong. This time around, a pretty good candidate has come." At this time, Elder Ge looked at Yang Xie, and saw that he was unharmed, his eyes lit up, and praising.

Only, after hearing those words, Yang Xie's face darkened.

After that, the Elder Ge waved his big sleeve and retrieved the pill fragments from the ground, taking out a pill furnace that looked exactly the same as before and placing it on the Earth Vein Fire. Then, with a flick of his hand, all sorts of spirit herbs flew into the pill furnace.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xie could not help but admit that although the other party was a little weird, their pill refining level was extremely high.

I wonder who is stronger between this Elder Ge and that 'All Things Sect' Elder Gou. Unknowingly, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Yang Xie's mind.

Just then, the Elder Ge stopped throwing spirit medicine pills, as one spirit art after another landed on the pill furnace, countless mystical runes lit up on the surface of the furnace, following that, the runes lit up and disappeared, the entire pill furnace returned to normal.

Sigh, this pill furnace is truly difficult to refine. It has already wasted more than 20 pill furnaces. Looks like Old Demon Wei should prepare a few more. Elder Ge sighed.

With that said, Yang Xie forced a smile. There were more than 20 pill furnaces, no wonder the mission reward was so high, yet no one dared to accept it.

Alright, boy, you look pretty good. If you can endure for one month and refine this pill for me, I will give you other rewards other than the reward for the mission. Just then, the Elder Ge turned his head and said to Yang Xie.

Other rewards? Yang Xie was overjoyed, the other party was a grandmaster alchemist, and the reward must be related to pills. Thinking of the fact that the other party was a master alchemist, he knew that the reward must be related to pills.

Looks like this mission isn't bad. Yang Xie thought, the only thing that made people bored with this mission was the exploding pellet, but although it was annoying, it was still not enough to hurt him, which was just a little troublesome for him, he would still be able to obtain expensive Swordwork Value s as well as other rewards, which could be said to completely compensate for the mission's deficiencies.

Alright, you can continue watching. I still need to go back and refine another batch of pills. After giving his orders, the Elder Ge turned around and left the secret room.

After the Elder Ge left, Yang Xie stared at the cauldron in the middle, laughing helplessly, he sat on the ground and watched over the cauldron.

When it was almost dusk, the pill furnace exploded again, leaving Yang Xie speechless. He did not know what pill the other party had concocted, but it had actually exploded every time.

In the evening, Yang Xie flew out of the Precious Medicine Peak, went straight back to his own cave, and started to cultivate as usual.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Xie had already arrived at the 'My Sword Sect' for nearly seven to eight days.

During this period, other than going to Precious Medicine Peak to look after the pill furnace, Yang Xie had returned to his cave to cultivate.

In the short span of seven or eight days, ten batches of medicinal pills had exploded. On average, it happened once a day.

But of course, in this peaceful life, there were also some things that weren't peaceful.

Following his frequent trips back and forth between the Precious Medicine Peak and the cave, he had already attracted the attention of many inner sect disciples. Some disciples were startled to discover that Nie Yong's cave, which had not been taken care of for a long time, had actually become neat and tidy.

Strange, why is Nie Yong's cave abode acting in such a manner? Could it be that the sect assigned this cave to the other disciples?

Impossible, that Nie Yong is only being exiled, not expelled. As long as that Nie Yong is still alive, according to the sect's rules, this cave should always belong to Nie Yong. A disciple shook his head.

Since it is impossible to assign it to other disciples, then why is this place so neat and tidy? Could it be that Nie Yong is back?

Looking at the time, the ten years should be up, that means Nie Yong is really back.

A few days ago I heard from someone that there was a disciple from Late Leading to Heaven Realm that came in and out of this place. It looked extremely familiar, and it should be that Nie Yong. The other person thought for a moment, then suddenly said.

Late Leading to Heaven Realm? Nie Yong's cultivation actually dropped to the Late Leading to Heaven Realm, how is this possible?

The surrounding people were all shocked, thinking, before, Nie Yong was a cultivator with Qi of Inducement, in a short span of less than ten years, he actually dropped to the Late Leading to Heaven Realm, it is truly unbelievable.

But that's understandable. After all, that place is separated from the spiritual energy of the world and it can absorb the spiritual energy in the body. If you stay there for a long time, it would be strange if your cultivation doesn't drop. At this time, a disciple brought up that place with a look of lingering fear.

The expressions of the surrounding people also changed when they heard this. Clearly, they were also extremely afraid of that place.

Hehe, if Nie Yong really only has his Late Leading to Heaven Realm left, then that would be interesting. Suddenly, one of the inner disciples laughed strangely as if he had thought of something. His face was full of schadenfreude.

Hearing this, the others also seemed to understand something, and they all revealed looks of understanding.

At the same time, in a cave abode, in the dim candlelight, two men with similar expressions sat cross-legged on the ground.

One of them had his eyes closed, his face calm, as if he was training, and also seemed to be pondering something. The aura around his body surged;

In comparison to this person, the man sitting opposite of this person had an anxious look on his face. From time to time, he would glance at the person opposite him, wanting to open his mouth to speak but was stopped in his tracks. From the looks of it, his aura was only at the perfection-stage of the Leading to Heaven Realm.

After waiting for a while, the man with a low cultivation level could not hold it in any longer. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.

At this moment, the man in front of him slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the man in front of him, he coldly snorted and reprimanded him, Just a small matter and you're already flustered. That matter isn't over yet.

Not done yet? Big brother, do you mean to say that I still have a chance to obtain that cave? But did you hear that Nie Yong has already returned? Hearing that, the man with a low cultivation level was overjoyed, but after thinking of Nie Yong, he became hesitant.

Just a mere Nie Yong, what is there to be afraid of? Even if he were to maintain his current strength at his peak, I am not afraid. Furthermore, he only has the cultivation of his Late Leading to Heaven Realm, in front of me, he is nothing more than an ant. Back then, I was able to almost kill him, but now, I can as well. The Spirit Realm man snorted coldly, and said disdainfully.

It was the person who informed and exiled Nie Yong back then to the spiritual land, Xue Gui!

But, big brother, the cave belongs to Nie Yong after all, and now that he's back, can he still forcefully take it away? The Leading to Heaven Realm man asked hesitantly.

"Nie Yong's cave had been empty for many years. I had originally planned to use the cave's rich spirit energy to help you break through the Spirit Realm, but who would have thought that the other party would actually return at this time. But it was good that he came back. If it was before, he wouldn't have been righteous enough to get his hands on this person's cave. Instead, he would have gotten more trouble out of thin air. This time, you can snatch the cave dwelling from Nie Yong's hands in broad daylight. Xue Gui's eyes flashed, and laughed coldly.

Open and honorable? Brother, what do you mean by that? Xue Fu did not understand.

Do you remember the sect's rule that as long as the outer court disciples consider themselves to have sufficient strength, they can challenge the inner court disciples and as long as they win in battle, they can be promoted to the inner court disciples and also obtain the cultivation abode of the outer court disciples? Even though no one has succeeded before, don't forget that you are now at the perfection-stage of the Leading to Heaven Realm, while Nie Yong is at the same level as you, with a difference of three whole realms, it is simply impossible for him to be your match. As long as you defeat him, not only will you be able to become an inner disciple, you will also be able to obtain this person's cave abode. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone! Xue Gui laughed coldly, a proud look flashing past his face.

Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Hearing that, Xue Fu's face revealed a look of ecstasy, he knew that his cultivation had already reached the bottleneck of the Great Perfection of the Leading to Heaven Realm, and was only one step away from breaking through and becoming an inner sect disciple. As long as he obtained Nie Yong's cave abode, borrowing the dense Spirit Qi inside, his success rate in breaking through would definitely increase, and this was also the reason why he kept his cave abode in his heart.

Big brother, when should we leave? Xue Fu said somewhat impatiently.

The sooner the better, now that the news of Nie Yong's return has spread, I think in less than half a day, the news will spread across the entire 'My Sword Sect'! At that time, there would probably be quite a number of outer disciples eyeing the cave. After all, this is a rare opportunity and must not be missed by the top disciples of the outer sect. At that time, whether you can obtain that cave or not will be filled with variables. How about this, tomorrow, you will head out and obtain the cave dwelling as soon as possible." Xue Gui thought for a while, then said with a gloomy expression.

Yes, that's good. I'll go tomorrow then. After Xue Fu heard this, the joy on his face disappeared, and without hesitation he asked.

Mn, but you must remember, even though Nie Yong only has Late Leading to Heaven Realm cultivation left, he was once a cultivator of the Qi of Inducement after all. His strength cannot be underestimated, you must not underestimate him. Xue Gui warned.

Hearing that, Xue Fu nodded his head, got up and left the cave.

After the other party left, Xue Gui looked in the direction of Nie Yong's cave, a sinister look flashing past his eyes, and said to himself: Nie Yong, that year, you were destroyed by me, and today, I will destroy you in the hands of my younger brother, so that you will never be able to reincarnate.

VIP Chapter

CHAPTER 404 - DEFORMED DAN

And the current Yang Xie naturally knew nothing about these matters.

At this time, he was still in Precious Medicine Peak, looking after the pill furnace. After a few days of constant explosions, Yang Xie became a little curious about the pills in the furnace.

According to his knowledge, a pill explosion rarely occurred during the process of refining a pill. Even if the pill refinement failed, it would only result in the pill being wasted, so there was no reason for the pill to explode, not to mention that the other party was an extremely famous pill master.

Unless the pills refined inside were no small matter.

Boom! * Another loud sound was heard. The pill furnace in the middle suddenly exploded. A violent force swept away the metal pieces, sweeping in all directions.

In the past few days, Yang Xie had been experiencing a pill explosion every day, and was already used to it. Seeing this, he waved his hand calmly with his Spirit Qi forming a wall of Qi, blocking the iron piece from going outside.

After a while, other than the area where Yang Xie was, the rest of the area was a complete mess.

The stone door opened, and Elder Ge appeared in the secret room. However, the strange thing was that every time he saw the pill furnace explode, he would scold him.

However, he was full of energy and vigor this time. There was a rare trace of a smile on his face.

Such a strong contrast naturally made Yang Xie stare blankly, as he did not know what was happening.

Elder Ge kept the pieces on the ground, and then he took out the exact same pill furnace and placed it on top of the Earth Vein Fire, and started pouring in all kinds of Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses.

As a pill master, Elder Ge did not explain much to Yang Xie. However, to be able to watch a pill master refine pills at such a close distance was also beneficial for him.

Yang Xie watched as Elder Ge concocted pills. This Elder Ge did not hide anything, and sometimes, when Yang Xie asked a question, the other party would even give him a few answers.

After these few days, Yang Xie had gained some understanding of pill refining techniques, and was no longer as ignorant as before about it. Although he was still unable to refine pills, but he had learnt quite a few spirit herbs.

But today, after observing for a long time, he was surprised to discover that the spirit medicine Elder Ge threw in was slightly different from the ones before. He couldn't help but exclaim, Eh?

What's wrong? Hearing the voice, the Elder Ge that was refining the pellets did not even turn around to look at him.

I'm sorry to bother you, senior, but I was surprised to find that your method of refining pills is different from before. Yang Xie said truthfully.

You being able to tell that something is amiss means that you have been quite diligent these past few days. Not bad, my method of concocting pills today is indeed different from before. The Elder Ge nodded.

Seemingly because he was in a good mood today, the Elder Ge started to talk a lot more, and actually took the initiative to ask Yang Xie: Kid, do you know what kind of pill I refined in this furnace?

Yang Xie obviously did not expect the other party to take the initiative and speak. For the past few days, it had been him asking questions, and the other party would occasionally answer them but never hear the other party speak at all.

Then, he came back to reality and said, I don't know, but it must be some kind of world-shaking pill.

Yang Xie's words did not have the slightest hint of flattery, because he had always felt that the thing that could cause a pill master to waste his time was some sort of astonishing elixir.

"Hahaha, a world-shaking pill? Brat, you know how to talk. I have been obsessed with alchemy my whole life, and in this' My Sword Sect ', I have ranked second in terms of alchemy skills. No one dares to claim themselves as first. I have indeed concocted some extraordinary medicinal pills in my life. The Elder Ge laughed.

Hearing that, Yang Xie was confused, he did not know why the other party would say that, since the pill was not some kind of world-shaking pill, why would it take so much time to concoct?

Are you thinking about why this pill keeps exploding when it's not some Heaven-shaking, Earth-shattering pill? As if the Elder Ge knew what Yang Xie was thinking, he threw out the last spirit art and turned back with a smile that was not a smile.

Senior understands. Yang Xie did not choose to hide it from him and spoke honestly.

Most of them have sustained some injuries, and over time, no one has dared to accept this mission. The old me originally thought that you would not be able to take this many times, but I did not expect that your strength would be quite good despite your low cultivation.

The Elder Ge sighed with emotion at first, but then he said: Actually, this old man's pill was obtained from an ancient pill formula. It's just that that recipe has been damaged for countless years, and some of the spirit ingredients listed are also incomplete. This old man can only make up for it himself, but there will inevitably be conflicts with other elixirs. This is why elixirs often explode."

So that's how it is. Yang Xie came to a realization and finally understood the doubt in his heart.

May I know what kind of medicinal pill senior refined? Yang Xie asked curiously.

The name of this pill is Deformed Dan, and it comes from a small sect in the ancient era. Although it sounds ordinary and useless in raising one's cultivation, it was enough to cause a huge stir in the Primordial Era. Because of this, that small sect was also exterminated, and this pill formula went through a lot of twists and turns, and was almost completely destroyed in the end as well. The Elder Ge said with a look of regret.

Why is that? Could it be that there is something special about this pill? Yang Xie was shocked, from what the Elder Ge had said, it seemed like the pill did not have any effect, but to be able to cause such a huge commotion in the Primordial Era, there must be something special about it.

Of course. Otherwise, how could this pill cause such a commotion? Although this pill has no effect on raising one's cultivation level and is unable to heal injuries, it has a very mysterious effect. It is able to help weak demon beasts take human form! " The Elder Ge said.

What?! To transform into a human form?! " Yang Xie was shocked.

"That's right, it's a illusionary human form. You also know that it is not easy for a demon beast to cultivate. Only powerful demon beasts can transform into a human form. However, this pill was able to allow weak demonic beasts to transform into human forms, and not just powerful demonic beasts.

In addition, after a human cultivator consumed this pill, they would be able to use it to change their appearance. After the transformation, it would be difficult for even cultivators with holy realm to see their true appearance.

Because of this pill's strange power, many ancient sects' cultivation techniques were stolen. Countless demonic beasts took the shape of humans, causing their strength to increase at an incredible speed. They were almost able to suppress the human cultivators.

The sects and clans had joined forces to destroy the pill, as well as the pill formula. The broken pill formula in my hand should have been accidentally leaked from the ancient times. Elder Ge said slowly, when he mentioned the destroyed pill formula, he could not help but show a regretful expression.

Yang Xie had already fallen into a state of shock. He never thought that this' Deformed Dan 'had such a strange ability that not only could it help a beast transform into human form, it could also change its appearance. Even holy realm experts would not be able to see through it.

The former Yang Xie, however, did not care much about it. On the other hand, the fact that it could help to change a person's appearance made Yang Xie's heart move.

One had to know that his' Thousand Magic Faces' was extremely despicable. Once he met someone with a high cultivation level that he was unable to hide, it was very fortunate that he was able to successfully enter the 'My Sword Sect'.

Instead, if he had this pill, he would be able to change his appearance. At that time, he would no longer have any worries, and would be able to peacefully cultivate in the 'My Sword Sect'.

Thinking about it here, Yang Xie was extremely excited, he truly hoped that the Elder Ge could refine this' Deformed Dan '.

Then, what percentage of certainty does Clan Elder have to be able to refine this' Deformed Dan '? Yang Xie could not help but ask.

This old man has refined countless pills throughout my life. Although this pill originated from the ancient times, its rank is still not high. I just haven't figured out the medicinal properties of this pill. That's why pills often explode. However, now that I have a deep understanding of this pill, I will definitely be able to refine it in less than a month. Elder Ge said proudly, his expression full of confidence.

Seeing that, Yang Xie was happy in his heart, if it was really as the other party said, then at that time, even if he had to take one, he would solve his problems in the future.

After that, Elder Ge chatted with Yang Xie for a while before he returned to continue comprehending the pill formulas.

As for Yang Xie, he was naturally continuing to look after the pill furnace, but compared to his previous indifference, now, Yang Xie was staring at the pill furnace full of anticipation, hoping to successfully refine the pill.

Until dusk, the pill furnace did not erupt again, causing Yang Xie to be ecstatic. He thought that the pill was about to succeed.

But just at that moment, the pill furnace exploded again, causing Yang Xie's happiness and joy to turn into nothingness. He sighed in his heart, and quietly kept the broken pieces on the floor, then stood up and left the secret room.

Today's pill refinement was over, but he had to go back and cultivate.

When night fell, the firepower of the Earth Vein Fire would be greatly reduced. Even if it was successfully refined, the medicinal effects of the pill would be greatly reduced.

That was why Elder Ge chose to refine pills during the day. During the day, he would have plenty of fire elemental energy and his earth vein would be full of fire, which would also have an effect on the success rate of the pills.

After exiting the Precious Medicine Peak, Yang Xie summoned a ray of light and sped towards his own cave.

At this time, even though it was evening, countless rays of light still flew in and out of the sky. They were all disciples of the 'My Sword Sect'.

Normally, his insignificant Late Leading to Heaven Realm would not stand out among the crowd of cultivators. But this time, for some unknown reason, there would be people who would glance at him from time to time. There was curiosity, pity, sneering, and not a single flaw.

VIP Chapter

CHAPTER 405 - SNATCH THE CAVE

Seeing this scene, Yang Xie's heart sank. Even though he was not clear as to what had happened, he could vaguely guess that it was him, or the current 'Nie Yong', who had returned to the sect.

Actually, Yang Xie had already prepared himself for this matter, but did not expect it to happen so quickly.

"Forget it, the matter of Nie Yong returning to the sect will spread throughout the entire sect sooner or later. Yang Xie ignored everyone's gazes as he drove the light back to his own cave.

At this moment, he only thought that the person who was being punished had suddenly returned to the sect and that it aroused the curiosity of some disciples. He was completely unaware that these outer court disciples were already rubbing their hands together and wanted to take his place.

After returning to the cave, Yang Xie continued his cultivation. After a few days of cultivation, coupled with the dense spiritual energy, Yang Xie had completely consolidated his cultivation.

One night passed in the blink of an eye while he was training.

In the morning of the next day, Yang Xie walked out of his cave as usual and headed towards the Precious Medicine Peak.

However, just as he walked out of the cave, a loud noise entered Yang Xie's ears, causing him to be startled for a moment. Raising his head to look, he did not know when, but there were already hundreds of inner disciples surrounding his cave, all of them releasing extraordinary auras, and all of them were disciples of the Spirit Realm.

Especially the few people in the lead; their cultivations were extraordinary, and they were actually in the realm of promoting spirit and qi!

It's out, it's really Nie Yong! Late Leading to Heaven Realm, the rumors from yesterday were indeed true, and this Nie Yong actually actually fell from the realm of Qi of Inducement to the Late Leading to Heaven Realm.

Upon seeing Yang Xie, the surrounding people started to buzz, all of them looked at Yang Xie strangely.

Yang Xie looked at the people around him, his heart becoming alarmed, his face darkening, his mind racing, as he tried to think of what had just happened.

Although Nie Yong had caused a huge commotion in the sect because he stole the sect's cultivation technique, after ten years had passed, the matter should have become clear. Even if he had just returned to the sect, it would not have caused such a commotion.

Moreover, looking at their appearances, they shouldn't be here just to watch the excitement, but also for some reason, Yang Xie didn't know.

But Yang Xie had a faint feeling that these people must not be a good thing to be here.

Junior Brother Nie, it's been ten years. I never thought that your cultivation would drop by so much. Looks like Junior Brother must have suffered a lot in 'spiritual land'. At this time, the leader of the group, a somewhat skinny man with cultivation and promoting spirit and qi, suddenly spoke. His words seemed to be filled with concern, but there was a sense of ridicule in them.

He was Xue Gui, and for the sake of quickly seizing's cave, he and his brother had come here early, but unexpectedly, there were people who had the same idea as him, and came here early.

Yang Xie was not Nie Yong, so he could not hear the ridicule from the other party, and he did not dare speak up, afraid that he would reveal an opening.

Seeing that he had not said a word, Xue Gui thought that he had ignored him, and a cold look flashed across his face, but he quickly recovered. He said apologetically: Junior Brother Nie, you are still angry at me back then, you know what happened back then, I was forced to do it because of helplessness, and did not truly want to frame you.

His words were sincere, as if he was sincerely confessing. If someone who didn't know anything saw this, they would definitely feel sympathy for him.

Only, Yang Xie did not understand the situation, so he still did not speak.

Seeing that, Xue Gui could not help but reveal an awkward expression.

It was at this moment that wild laughter suddenly came from the side: Hahaha, Xue Gui, at this point in time, you don't have to use your little tricks anymore. If it wasn't for you, how could the other party have landed in such a situation? Yet, at this moment, you're even deluding yourself of trying to ease their relationship. This is truly laughable. Could it be that you plan to urge him to leave?

The one who spoke was a tall and sturdy man, his cultivation was also extraordinary, and he had the same level of profound strength as Xue Gui. At this moment, he had his hands across his chest, and was looking at Xue Gui with a sneer on his face.

Hearing this, the few promoting spirit and qi disciples could not help but laugh, causing Xue Gui's face to turn green.

The rest of the inner sect disciples looked at Xue Gui, their eyes revealing a look of contempt, but because of his powerful cultivation, they did not dare make a sound.

Hmph, Zhang Meng, what are you pretending to be a good person for? Aren't you trying to do that thing? Xue Gui coldly snorted.

That's right. I, Zhang Meng, had the intention to kill that thing, but it's a fair and honorable thing. I don't want a cunning and petty person like you to hide from me. Zhang Meng said in disdain.

Xue Gui was furious in his heart, he looked at the other party with a gloomy face, as a trace of killing intent flashed past his eyes.

Zhang Meng was also fearless and his gaze shot straight at the other party.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

From the start, Yang Xie did not say a word, he only listened quietly to the two of them conversing. Although the two did not talk much, Yang Xie could guess a few things.

He previously thought that Xue Gui was Nie Yong's close friend, but from the looks of it, it was obvious that Nie Yong was exiled because of him.

The fact that this person was even trying to apologize to him in such a hypocritical manner showed how crafty and insidious he was.

At the same time, he also understood that these people probably came with ill intentions, it was just that this Nie Yong did not have any valuable treasures on him, and did not know what the thing the other party was referring to.

Alright, we're all fellow disciples, there's no need to get angry over such a small matter. Since everyone has come here, I presume all of you are here for the same reason. Everyone, you don't want to drag this matter on for too long, right?

Seeing that the tension had reached a certain point, one of the men holding a folding fan, with a handsome face and similar promoting spirit and qi, spoke slowly.

Hearing that, Xue Gui and Zhang Meng's face changed, they knew that this matter still needed to be settled as soon as possible, and could not be dragged out for long, immediately they snorted at each other, and retracted their Qi.

Since his face had already been ripped apart, Xue Gui no longer feigned benevolence, and directly revealed his sinister face, coldly saying: Junior Brother Nie, I believe you understand the reason why we came here, now that your cultivation has dropped to the late stage of the Heavenly Completion Stage, occupying this cave is not a big deal, why not give up, and give way to someone who needs it.

Although the rest did not say anything, their gazes were all on Yang Xie, obviously having the same idea.

So this person is rushing towards my cave abode. Yang Xie's heart suddenly skipped a beat, he finally knew what those people were referring to, and a cold look flashed past his eyes. At the same time, he also understood why these people would look at him with strange eyes yesterday.

Junior Brother Nie, you should be clear about the sect's rules. Although this cave belongs to you, as long as the outer sect disciple wins the challenge, he will be able to obtain your cave abode. You are only at the level of Late Leading to Heaven Realm right now, so you cannot be their match in any way. If you give me this cave abode, Junior Brother Nie will not let you go for free. I am willing to give you five thousand Spirit Stones as compensation, I wonder what you think?

At this time, the man holding the fan waved his fan and spoke indifferently.

Five thousand spiritual stones? Yang Xie couldn't help but find it funny. A mere five thousand Spirit Stones could actually exchange for his cave.

From the looks of it, the other party was certain that he would never win no matter what. That was why he offered such a low price.

Unfortunately, just how great was this Nie Yong back in the day? I didn't expect him to end up like this.

The surrounding people immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion. Some showed pity, some showed regret, and some even gloated at his misfortune.

This is also his fault for his audacity. He actually dared to steal the cultivation technique of a sect. It's only natural that he would end up like this.

Looking at the situation, it seems like Nie Yong can only hand over the cave dwelling today. He does not have the Late Leading to Heaven Realm, and all the outer sect disciples that came here are at the Heavenly Completion Great Perfection. This Nie Yong is not their match no matter what.

Hehe, it seems that after today, there will be an inner court disciple sleeping on the streets.

Hearing the discussions around him, Yang Xie's expression was calm. He swept a glance at the few people standing beside the promoting spirit and qi disciples and suddenly sneered.

These people were all at the Great Circle of the Heavenly Completion Stage. It was obvious that they had a deep relationship with these inner disciples. This was why these people had come to help him take his cave mansion.

Impudent! Nie Yong, do you really think that you are a Spirit Realm cultivator? If you didn't hold the title of inner disciple, then with your cultivation, you would at most be an outer disciple. I advise you to obediently hand over this Immortal's cave. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite! " Xue Gui's face
