In the dilapidated street where Idle Cloud Restaurant was in Purple Sun City:
The fifty-kilometer-long street was in ruins. The shops and tall buildings along the way had all collapsed. Blood flowed like rivers on the ground, and corpses piled up. A heavy stench of blood lingered in the air.
"Ga!
Ga! Ga! "Many red-eyed vultures circled the city under the night sky, spreading their wings and crying out strangely. They stared at the corpses below, continuously circling, raring to go.
The vultures outside the city actually smelled the stench of blood and flew in. This was the first time such a thing happened in Purple Sun City.
One could easily imagine how many people had died on the street.
Many of the corpses had terrifying saber wounds on them. The hazy saber intent still lingered. However, even more corpses were torn into pieces, a cruel sight to behold. They had been violently blasted until not even bones remained.
Formless wisps of broken souls struggled in pain, unable to dissipate.
The black-clad arhat, who was previously unrivaled and swept through the three First Elders, knelt on the ground in humiliation as he was being escorted.
Most of the corpses on the ground were his.
For the sake of killing the black-clad arhat, the disciples of the three great sects and the Purple Cloud Pavilion formed a formation and surrounded him, suppressing him heavily.
However, he still killed most of them in the end, leaving the street littered with corpses.
"Who asked you to be arrogant?!"
The surviving cultivators of the Purple Cloud Pavilion and the other sects continuously whipped the black-clad arhat kneeling on the ground.
The black-clad arhat did not say anything. He only closed his eyes and allowed the whipping to land on his body.
Earlier, all of them had fought with all their might. Among the people who died were their friends or fellow disciples. Naturally, their hatred for the black-clad arhat was incredibly intense.
The First Elders of the three great sects and the Purple Cloud Pavilion's Auntie Bai let these people do as they pleased.
"What should we do with this bald monk now? Should we kill him or keep him?" the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's white-robed old man asked as a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The Burning Moon Sect's red-clad old man replied coldly, "Just kill him. Keeping him alive will only bring trouble."
"We should keep him alive first. Perhaps he will be of some use to Xiao Chen. He definitely did not expect this bald monk to end up in our hands. Isn't he very loyal? Let's detain this bald monk and bring him to the Purple Cloud Pavilion to auction. Given his temper, he will definitely rush over. "
The Wind Chasing Sect's azure-clad old man thought of a solution.
Auntie Bai nodded and said, "That's a good idea. We'll auction him off as a slave the day after tomorrow. If Xiao Chen hides, it'll be troublesome for us to look for him. Let him come by himself, and we'll set up an ambush in the dark. "
Auntie Bai also had her own plans. Auctioning off a Major Primal Core Venerate as a slave would be of great help to the Purple Cloud Pavilion's reputation.
A cold smile flashed across the white-robed old man's face. "That's right. Let's do that. This bald donkey has killed so many of our people, so he should at least have some value to us. Otherwise, it would be too easy on him. "
While they were discussing, they didn't know that the black-robed arhat who was kneeling on the ground had a sneer on his face, as if he had heard something extremely funny.
"Alright, it's settled then. We'll imprison this bald monk now and auction him off the day after tomorrow."
When Lan Luo saw this scene from afar, she could not help but shake her head.
"Young Miss, that is the black-clad arhat of the Black Lotus Church. This group of people is really seeking death. To think that they dare to auction off a black-clad arhat of the Black Lotus Church … should we advise Auntie Bai? "
When the mysterious guard hidden in the dark saw this, he laughed hoarsely, feeling speechless.
A cold light flashed in Lan Luo's eyes. She said indifferently, "There's no need. I already see through her. If she wants to seek death, let her be."
Previously, when Feng Buyu sought out Auntie Bai, she immediately sold out Xiao Chen. This had flabbergasted Lan Luo, rendering her speechless.
Lan Luo had already advised Auntie Bai many times, but it was useless. Instead, she reprimanded Auntie Bai for not understanding business and not having sufficient experience.
"Now, I finally understand why the clan gave up on this place. They are just a group of people chasing their own interests, completely forgetting the existence of the clan!"
Heavy disappointment flashed in Lan Luo's eyes.
An Yue said softly, "That Xiao Chen actually managed to form a relationship with the Black Lotus Church. He is truly incredible. No matter how I look at him, he seems like an outstanding talent with a Great Desolate Eon bloodline. However, I just can't tell. "
Lan Luo was not surprised. "Aside from the strongest Hundred Races, the Great Desolate Eon bloodline still has some secondary bloodlines. Back then, during the Great Desolate Eon, when the ten thousand races fought, not all went extinct. Some bloodlines have been passed down, but they are not as famous as the Great Desolate Eon's Hundred Races. "
"No wonder." An Yue nodded gently. So, that was the case.
However, the two were mistaken. Xiao Chen's bloodline was one of the strongest Hundred Races of the Great Desolate Eon. However, the Blue Dragon bloodline had been extinct for too long, so most people did not have any impression of it.
When the sky was about to brighten, Xiao Chen came out of closed-door cultivation and saw Senior Gui, who had just returned from a busy day.
When Senior Gui saw Xiao Chen, he was stunned. The other party had a strange Dao on him. The strong aura dazzled Senior Gui.
What the heck is this? The legendary Dao?
This was especially so for Xiao Chen's eyes. They were bright and untainted, like gems in the starry sky, filled with charm and boundlessly deep.
With just one glance, one would feel like they were about to sink in.
Xiao Chen's comprehension of the Saber Great Dao had completely stabilized his Saber Great Dao's second realm. This gave off an extraordinary feeling.
After one night of closed-door cultivation, Xiao Chen thoroughly absorbed the comprehensions from the battle at Idle Cloud Restaurant, stabilizing his hard-earned second realm of the Great Dao and the new Fish Dragon Art Movement Technique.
This could be considered a complete rebirth.
However, Xiao Chen knew that this was far from enough. He still needed to raise his cultivation. Only then could he truly fight against a Major Primal Core Venerate without using his trump cards.
Of course, fighting with a late-stage Major Primal Core expert was still a long way off.
"Senior Gui, has Senior Liu come out of closed-door cultivation?"
Xiao Chen asked with a relaxed expression.
Senior Gui recovered his wits. Then, he said with a strange expression, "I'm not sure. Several explosions came from his side last night. I went over to take a look, but he did not let me in. I wonder what happened in there. "
Failed?
This was within reason and not surprising. Refining Medicinal Pills was not guaranteed in the first place. Furthermore, this was the Heavenly Yang Pill, a forbidden medicine that had been lost for many years.
"I'll go and take a look."
Right now, Xiao Chen could not come to a final conclusion. So, he calmed his emotions and headed for the refining room where Senior Liu was.
"Go on, then. The modification of that pirate ship is at the final stage. I cannot delay for too long, either."
Senior Gui had a strong sense of responsibility. After receiving Xiao Chen's Spirit Jades, he had been working hard.
When Xiao Chen arrived at Senior Liu's refining room, he smelled a burning stench coming from a crack in the door before he even entered.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, you are here. Come in quickly."
Senior Liu's excited voice came from inside. When Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered, he saw that the place was a mess. All the tools were shattered, and berserk baleful Yang Energy spread in the air.
Dust filled the room. Xiao Chen fanned himself with his hand and saw that Senior Liu was in tatters, his hair charred, and his face covered in wounds.
Xiao Chen felt slightly stunned before asking, "The furnace exploded?"
Senior Liu showed a somewhat embarrassed expression as he nodded. "It exploded three times … and you saw the results."
Furnace explosions were something that only low-ranked Alchemists would do. When the Pill Flame was not properly controlled, it would detonate the Pill Furnace. This was commonly known as a furnace explosion.
There would definitely be failures when refining Alchemy. However, a skilled Alchemist would not cause a furnace explosion.
Furthermore, after a furnace explosion, the destruction and danger that resulted were uncontrollable.
When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he knew what happened.
However, he had not expected that the furnace would explode three times in one night.
"Senior Liu, there is no need for you to work so hard. Are you alright?"
Xiao Chen found this incredibly strange. This was truly too much of a risk. Senior Liu did not care about his life at all.
However, Senior Liu laughed loudly, not caring at all. He pulled Xiao Chen forward somewhat excitedly and said, "I'm fine. I feel like I'm about to break through my bottleneck. Your Heavenly Yang Pill is done. Look!"
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Senior Liu's finger and saw a bright white Medicinal Pill in an incomplete brocade box in the corner.
Perfect flame patterns covered the surface of the Medicinal Pill, flickering with a glassy golden light.
Occasionally, a strong light flickered. The piercing light nearly deterred Xiao Chen from looking directly at it.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling excited in his heart. The Heavenly Yang Pill really succeeded. Furthermore, it was of Perfect quality.
When Senior Liu saw Xiao Chen's expression, he revealed a satisfied smile. Anyone who saw their Medicinal Pill garnering the attention of others would feel satisfied from the bottom of their heart.
