Chapter 15

The Scheme of the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts: Double Critical Hit Returns 5 Colored

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan raised his head and looked at the rock wall in front of him.

The rock face was charred black, as if it had been burned by some kind of extremely terrifying flame.

There was nothing on it.

"Master, you... are you mistaken?" For the first time, Xiao Fan's tone revealed a hint of doubt about his master.

Upon hearing this, the Medicine Venerable was also taken aback.

He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Perhaps... it's because my remnant soul's power has weakened, causing a deviation in my perception."

His heart was also filled with confusion.

That fluctuation is absolutely certain.

But why did it suddenly disappear?

It was as if someone had beaten them to it.

"So be it," Venerable Medicine comforted, "Even if we miss this opportunity, it won't be a big deal."

"Fan'er, carefully sense the Netherworld Gale here." His tone became solemn: "This gale may seem capable of destroying everything, but in reality, it also contains a trace of the power of the Netherworld's origin, which is the best tempering material for your Ancient Sacred Body."

"As long as you can stay here and persevere, using the Nine Netherworld Gale to temper your body, it won't be long before you have a chance to break the second Sacred Body shackle within your body."

Break the second shackles of the Holy Body.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan immediately perked up.

He knew very well that his Ancient Sacred Body had nine shackles.

Each time a rule is broken, the strength will undergo a dramatic change.

Only by breaking the second shackle can he break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without any hindrance.

How could he not be excited?

He immediately forgot his earlier disappointment and doubt, and a fierce fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

He sat cross-legged and began to actively guide the fierce winds of the Nine Netherworlds to cleanse his physical body.

Intense pain struck again.

But he gritted his teeth and accepted it willingly.

Changsheng Peak.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, patiently waiting for midnight to arrive.

He was not in a hurry to switch to studying the "Great Five Elements Chaos Technique".

We are currently lacking three rare treasures of the Five Elements, so there is no need to rush.

He decided to wait for the intelligence update tonight.

If the information he needs is not found, he will consume Fate Points to conduct a targeted acquisition.

The goal is to acquire the remaining rare treasures of the three elements: gold, water, and earth.

Time passed slowly in the quiet waiting.

Midnight arrives precisely on time.

[Ding, daily intelligence update.]

Three new pieces of intelligence were subsequently updated.

[White Intelligence: At midnight today, Elder Jiang Wuyai once again used a secret method to communicate with the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. He informed the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts that the Qingyun Ancestor's life force was declining and that he was about to pass away, and expressed that he would be ready to welcome the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts at any time.]

The True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, being cautious by nature, indicated that he had already sent someone to deliver a Longevity Pill, instructing Jiang Wuyai to find a way to give it to Ancestor Qingyun. Note: This pill is an inferior Longevity Pill, extremely poisonous; those nearing the end of their lifespan who take it will undoubtedly die.

[White Intelligence: Sect Leader Gu Qingxue tossed and turned in the main hall of Qingyun Peak.]

She was grateful for her husband's guidance and her skills improved daily. Deep down, she longed to receive further instruction, but her reserved nature and reluctance to take the initiative made her hesitant about whether to come and request an audience.

[Blue Intelligence: Deep within the Netherworld Dungeon, due to the constant blowing of the Netherworld Gale, a large amount of Netherworld power has gathered. A portion of Netherworld Soil will be revealed today at Chenshi (7-9 AM) in a crevice in the deepest part of the dungeon.]

This is a rare treasure of earth element, suitable for crafting magical artifacts and for tempering the physical body. It will be discovered by Xiao Fan, who is currently undergoing body tempering, after he senses the movement. [Click to view coordinates]

Lu Yuan looked at the three pieces of intelligence and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

When you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.

He was just worrying about how to collect the five rare treasures when the first one, the Netherworld Soil of the Earth element, came to him on its own.

Jiang Wuyai and the Myriad Beasts True Lord's schemes seemed rather laughable to him.

He schemed against himself with a inferior longevity pill.

This method is far too crude.

However, since the fish were ready to bite, he naturally had to cooperate and make the performance more realistic.

His gaze fell on the second piece of white intelligence.

Gu Qingxue.

A touch of tenderness flashed through Lu Yuan's heart.

With his divine sense, he once again summoned the sect leader, who was torn between heaven and man, to his cave.

Before long, a delicate fragrance, accompanied by light footsteps, entered the cave.

Gu Qingxue has arrived.

Today, she changed into a light blue fairy dress, with a few elegant ice lotus flowers embroidered on the hem. A simple jade hairpin loosely tied up her cascading black hair.

She lost her usual majesty and aloofness as the sect leader, and gained more of a woman's gentleness and beauty.

She was already stunningly beautiful, but now, bathed in the soft spiritual light of the cave, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful.

"Husband." She came to Lu Yuan, lowered her head slightly, and spoke softly.

In her heart, there was both the joy of being summoned by her husband and a touch of embarrassment at having her thoughts seen through.

"Still troubled by what happened yesterday?" Lu Yuan looked at her and spoke calmly.

"No." Gu Qingxue quickly shook her head, but her slightly reddened ears betrayed her true thoughts.

Lu Yuan did not continue the topic.

He simply reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

Gu Qingxue's delicate body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed and obediently leaned against his chest.

She could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat.

That voice made her feel incredibly safe and secure.

Inside the cave, the atmosphere became ambiguous once again.

Some guidance on cultivation is, of course, unavoidable.

Wait until the clouds disperse and the rain stops.

Gu Qingxue leaned lazily against Lu Yuan's chest, a blush of satisfaction on her cool, jade-like face.

Suddenly remembering something, she said, "Husband, you are truly a genius! Just yesterday, Liu Mengxi indeed came to find me under the pretext of discussing the pill formula."

Lu Yuan's tone was calm and composed: "What did she ask?"

"She subtly inquired about your injuries," Gu Qingxue said. "I kept my husband's instructions in mind and remained worried throughout, only sighing. Inadvertently, I conveyed that your injuries were difficult to heal and that your days were numbered."

"Well done." Lu Yuan gently stroked her smooth, long hair and praised her.

Gu Qingxue felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Receiving praise from her husband made her happier than any reward.

After finishing this training session, Lu Yuan's figure disappeared into the cave once again.

He came to the Netherworld Dungeon for the second time.

Guided by the coordinates provided by the system, he easily found the condensed Netherworld Soil in a very hidden crevice deep within the dungeon.

It was a small piece of soil that was a deep black color, containing extremely pure earth elemental power and a trace of the Yin energy of the Netherworld.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took it out and put it into his storage space.

[Ding! Successfully seized the blue opportunity of the Chosen One Xiao Fan, the Nine Netherworld Soil, triggering a hundredfold critical hit and returning the five-colored soil.]
