"What's wrong? You're back so soon. Since a beauty invited you, why don't you take the opportunity to get closer to her? "
Xie Nianqing said sarcastically when he saw Lu Ming.
"Why would I get close to other women? If I want to get close to someone, it should be you!"
Lu Ming chuckled.
Xie Nianqing blushed and said, "Stop it. Who wants to get close to you? Tell me, did you lust after her and get chased out?"
Lu Ming was speechless. Was his character that bad?
Seeing that Lu Ming did not speak, Xie Nianqing smiled.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's get down to business!"
Lu Ming took out Yun Haitang's storage ring and immersed his mind into it. After a while, a token appeared.
"This is … an Inscription Token? You're doing it so soon? "Xie Nianqing asked.
"Of course. If I don't do it now, I'll have to sacrifice my body!"
Lu Ming muttered and said, "Now, let's do it immediately. Otherwise, we won't have a chance when others find out that something happened to Yun Haitang!"
"Alright!"
Xie Nianqing was not a hesitant person and immediately nodded.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Ming shouted. Xie Nianqing looked at Lu Ming in confusion.
"I'll inscribe an Inscription Array for you to restrain your aura!"
Lu Ming's hands were constantly inscribing. Inscriptions flew into Xie Nianqing's body. In a short while, the inscription array to conceal one's aura was completed.
"Lu Ming, I didn't expect your Inscription Technique to be so brilliant!"
Xie Nianqing looked at Lu Ming curiously.
"It's just so-so. Let's go!"
His figure flashed and he went into the depths of the Cloud Sea Elixir Institution. Xie Nianqing followed.
At the same time, in a secret room of the Cloud Sea Pill Institution, a low roar like that of a wild beast could be heard.
A white-haired elder had his heart pierced by Gu Huaxu's claw.
"You … Who are you? Gu Huaxu wasn't … that strong? "
Disbelief flashed in the old man's eyes.
He was a core elder of the Cloud Sea Alchemy Institution, a peak King. Even if Gu Huaxu had launched a sneak attack, he wouldn't have been able to pierce through his heart.
The cultivation that Gu Huaxu had just displayed was utterly terrifying.
"Heh heh, death is at hand, why do you care so much? I just want your inscription token! "
True Essence erupted, and the old man's aura vanished.
Gu Huaxu chuckled coldly. He licked his lips and took off the old man's storage ring. A moment later, a badge appeared in his hand, which was identical to the badge Lu Ming had obtained from Yun Haitang and the others.
Gu Huaxu's figure flickered, and he headed toward the treasury of the Cloud Sea Alchemy Institution.
Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing's cultivation was extremely profound. Their movement techniques were as fast as lightning, and with the inscription array concealing their auras, no one could discover them.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the depths of the Cloud Sea Alchemy Institution. There was a huge mountain here.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a stone door. The stone door was tightly shut, and there were inscription arrays all around it.
Without the inscription token, even if one tried to force their way in, it would alert the upper echelons of the Cloud Sea Alchemy Institution, including the Sea of Soul Realm expert.
Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing rushed to the mountainside, took out the inscription token, and poured their True Essence into it.
Buzz!
The inscription token glowed and inscriptions appeared. Inscriptions also appeared on the stone door. These inscriptions formed a light shield in front of the door.
At that moment, the light barrier parted to form a door. As for the stone door, it opened by itself.
"Let's go!"
Their figures flashed as they rushed in.
The light barrier closed automatically, and so did the stone door.
Behind the stone door, there was a wide passage. It was obviously man-made, and the walls were bumpy.
The two of them followed the passage and moved forward quickly.
The passage was slanted downwards, and it went underground.
The two of them carefully moved forward for a few minutes. Suddenly, Lu Ming felt his hair stand on end, and a sense of danger erupted from the bottom of his heart.
"Be careful!"
Lu Ming suddenly pulled Xie Nianqing and retreated quickly.
Chi Chi …
Two sharp forces shot into the place where the two of them had been, leaving two bottomless, thumb-sized holes in the ground.
"Die!"
A figure pounced out quickly, and a dark green claw light grabbed at Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing's vital points. It was unbelievably fast.
Buzz!
A long spear condensed in Lu Ming's hand. The spear light pierced through the void and pierced forward.
"Heavenly Demon Force Field!"
Xie Nianqing pressed his hand forward, and a powerful force field burst out, encapsulating his opponent.
Bang!
Lu Ming's spear light collided with his opponent's.
Lu Ming's figure swayed slightly, while his opponent retreated rapidly.
"How powerful!"
Lu Ming's eyes glistened. Despite his and Xie Nianqing's teamwork, their opponent was only knocked back, and was not injured. This was a clear indication of his strength.
Of course, it was also because they had not used their full strength in a hurry.
"Gu Huaxu!"
At this moment, Lu Ming saw the person before him and was astounded, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Xie Nianqing beside him had the same reaction.
The person who had ambushed them was none other than Gu Huaxu.
Gu Huaxu was only a seventh-layer Martial Emperor half a month ago. In just half a month's time, his cultivation had improved to such a terrifying level.
"Hehe, the combat strength of the two of you is beyond my expectations!"
Gu Huaxu let out a hollow laugh and licked his lips, staring coldly at Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing.
Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing frowned. They did not expect to stumble into Gu Huaxu here.
"You're here to rob the treasure of the Cloud Ocean Pill Court too, right?"
Lu Ming said.
"Hehe, not bad, I didn't expect you two to be here too. Very well, I'll use this chance to get rid of you!"
Gu Huaxu's eyes flickered as his figure transformed into more than ten illusionary figures, charging in Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing's direction.
Every illusory figure looked real, and every illusory figure exuded a powerful aura.
"Sky Poison Claw!"
Gu Huaxu groaned as he lashed out with a claw glow.
The illusionary figures lashed out with their claws, covering Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing's vitals.
"Heavenly Demon Force Field! Heavenly Demon Cleave! "
Xie Nianqing roared as the Heavenly Demon Force Field exploded, containing a terrifying cutting power.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Lu Ming's spear transformed into more than ten spear radiances, piercing through the illusionary figures.
Bam! Bam!
The three of them had restrained their Genuine Essence during the battle. Otherwise, with their combat strength, they would have pierced through the mountain.
"I didn't expect the two of you to be so powerful. I'm afraid even the lower-ranked geniuses on the List of Top 1,000 Talents are no match for either of you!"
