"Ao Jiao, are there still sects in the Kunlun Realm that preserve the inheritances of Immortal Arts?"
Ao Jiao replied softly, "I'm not sure. I heard that in the easternmost region of the Kunlun Realm, in the depths of the Chaotic Demonic Sea, there are still some sects that preserve the inheritances of Immortal Arts. However, they do not have many inheritances; they are extremely limited.
"Furthermore, Immortal Cultivation is not like the Martial Dao, where everyone can cultivate it. Without an Immortal Destiny, one cannot even reach the basic level. Those sects are not considered major powers."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Although the Compendium of Cultivation in his mind contained the systematic knowledge of talismans, formations, Medicinal Pills, and Immortal Arts, there were very few high-ranked Immortal Arts.
However, there were very few high-grade Immortal Techniques, and all of them required magic power to activate.
The Immortal Arts and talismans that could use Mental Energy to cultivate were of lower ranks. They were not as mighty as the various Martial Techniques, not to mention Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques.
Hence, Xiao Chen had neglected the cultivation of Immortal Arts. Instead of using his time to cultivate low-ranked Magic Techniques, he would be much more efficient in cultivating Martial Techniques.
However, after the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation broke through to the seventh layer, there would be a major change. If Xiao Chen really had an Immortal Destiny, he might be able to cultivate Magic Energy.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and said, "Unfortunately, Sun Liang still died. There is no way to know why the Eternal Heavenly Sword School was collecting dragon bones."
"There is no need to feel unfortunate. I already guessed it. When he said 'refine', the last word should be 'Medicinal Pill.' The only Medicinal Pill that requires so many dragon bones to refine is the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill. "
"True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill?"
Ao Jiao nodded and said, "That's right. It is the True Dragon Fame Pill, a peerless Medicinal Pill that can extend Emperor Wu's lifespan. It looks like that Eternal Heavenly Sword Sage did enter Emperor Wu. However, his talent is not good, and he does not have much lifespan left.
"To refine the True Dragon Fame Pill, one needs a special flame. Only the Chaotic Demonic Sea has it. I guess that person was the cultivator that the Eternal Heavenly Sword School invited to refine Medicinal Pills."
A light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he said, "In that case, this Eternal Sky Sword Sage really is related to the Thunder King's death."
Ao Jiao said in a deep voice, "I've seen this person before. Back then, he was guided by the Thunder King many times. With his talent, if he didn't have great help, he definitely wouldn't be able to enter Emperor Wu's realm."
"The death of the Thunder King is most likely related to him."
…
When Xiao Chen returned to Hunluo City with a heavy heart, he saw Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian. The two of them thanked him for helping out.
"Ha ha! I really underestimated you. It is hard to predict who will emerge victorious in your one year appointment with Bai Wuxue."
Xiao Chen could even trample an Inferior Grade Martial Sage under his feet, rendering him immobile. Naturally, Bai Qi and Liu Jingning did not doubt Xiao Chen's strength.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. Now that he knew that the Eternal Heavenly Sword School was related to the Thunder King's death, he felt even more anxious.
As a Rank 8 sect, the Eternal Heavenly Sword School had far more than one Inferior Grade Martial Sage. It would be extremely difficult to find the Eternal Sky Emperor Wu, who was in closed-door cultivation somewhere, and ask him about the true cause of the Thunder King's death.
However, no matter how difficult it was, Xiao Chen had to try. Be it for Ao Jiao or his own promise, he could not give up so easily.
After saying goodbye to the two, Xiao Chen headed for the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion in the city.
There were no major auctions taking place recently, so there were not many cultivators coming and going in front of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion. Xiao Chen stopped and looked at the signboard with golden words on it, entering deep thought.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen entered. When he saw someone in the hall, his eyes could not help but light up.
A pretty maidservant smiled faintly as she walked over to Xiao Chen. This was Xiao Mei, who had served him in the past.
"Young Master Xiao, after not seeing you for half a year, your strength has improved again. Congratulations."
Xiao Mei's red lips parted, and her melodious and pleasing voice rang out. "I wonder, what is Young Master's purpose in coming to the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion?"
Xiao Chen did not bother saying anything. He immediately took out a piece of paper and listed several Spirit Herbs and Medicinal Flowers on it. These were all the ingredients needed to refine the Breaking Sage Pill.
Some of the ingredients were very precious, the kind that could only be found and not sought. Xiao Chen had not expected to collect them all in one go. He only instructed Xiao Chen to give him double the amount of everything he could collect.
After that, he specifically instructed Xiao Chen to buy the Heart Nourishing Flower if there were any.
The Heart Nourishing Flower was a necessity for cultivating the Firmament Body Tempering Art to the next layer. In the past, Xiao Chen did not have Astral Coins. Even if he came across it, he could not afford it. Now that he had Astral Coins, he naturally had to pay attention to it.
After Xiao Mei listened carefully and recorded everything down, she smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao, please wait in the pavilion first. I will go and help you arrange it. Furthermore, the Nangong Venerate has been waiting for you for a long time already. "
This development stunned Xiao Chen slightly. This woman, Ying Qiong, has not left yet!
--- In the pavilion on the third floor of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, the spacious room looked very elegant and quiet. The incense burner on the tea table gave off white smoke.
Ying Qiong returned to her usual noble and imposing appearance. She looked elegant and refined, elegant and refined. As she watched Xiao Chen walk to the door, she smiled faintly.
"Young Master Xiao, after half a year, you are even more elegant than before. You are even able to trample on a bona fide Inferior Grade Martial Sage. This little girl admires and respects you."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stepped forward. His footsteps were silent, but they carried an invisible force that struck the ground.
When Xiao Chen was only ten steps away from the tea table, his gaze sank. Then, he attacked at lightning speed, throwing a punch at Ying Qiong.
Putting down the teacup, Ying Qiong pushed off with her feet and gently drifted backward.
Xiao Chen landed on the tea table and pushed off the ground, giving chase. His body soared into the air, and his right leg kicked out with a whistling sound. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
The two of them did not use any Quintessence or Vital Qi in the room. They simply exchanged blows, their fists and feet clashing, giving off powerful sounds.
Soon, the two exchanged a hundred moves. Their figures flew around the pavilion, moving back and forth. As they attacked and defended, they advanced and retreated. However, no one managed to gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab Ying Qiong's fist. Then, he used some strength to prevent her from struggling free.
Ying Qiong's pretty face changed slightly. After trying a few times, she discovered that she was no match for Xiao Chen in terms of physical strength. However, she did not really want to fight with Xiao Chen. She could not help but say angrily, "Let go."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He directly pulled, catching Ying Qiong off guard. Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. An elegant fragrance came from the girl in his embrace.
With a gentle sniff, Xiao Chen poked his head out. Their eyes met, and their noses nearly touched. This posture looked very ambiguous.
The two spun around and gently landed on the tea table.
"Let go of me! What are you doing?" Ying Qiong frowned. She could not figure out what Xiao Chen was trying to do, so she felt very nervous.
Ying Qiong opened her mouth and exhaled hot air, making Xiao Chen's face feel very comfortable. Feeling the girl struggling, Xiao Chen could not help but put more strength into his arms.
When their eyes met, Ying Qiong saw Xiao Chen's clear eyes and a playful expression. She could not help but feel guilty.
"Bo!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen tapped gently and his lips landed on Ying Qiong's tender, red lips.
The air seemed to freeze. Ying Qiong's eyes widened in shock. She could no longer care about anything else. Quintessence surged from her body, trying to push Xiao Chen away.
However, Xiao Chen raised his head and smiled, dodging in advance. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Some of the decorations nearby shattered, crushed by Ying Qiong's Quintessence.
As Ying Qiong stood on the tea table, her pretty face turned cold. A faint murderous intent appeared in her eyes as she said in a frosty voice, "Xiao Chen, you are really bold. Are you not afraid that I will fall out with you?"
Xiao Chen laughed loudly and said, "If there were people who could make me stay in this Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, would you still be so polite to me? If you want to ask me if I have another core painting piece, just say so."
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense detected four Martial Sages in Hunluo City's Flourishing Heaven Pavilion. Among them, there was even a Medial Grade Martial Sage.
With such strength, it was no wonder no one dared to cause trouble within five kilometers of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion.
However, it was not realistic to keep Xiao Chen, who had merged Thunder Steps and the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. Even if he could not defeat a Medial Grade Martial Sage, he could still leave.
Xiao Chen had once nearly died because of this girl. He could not beat her up or kill her. However, he had to take some advantage of her. Hence, the earlier kiss.
Now that this girl was clearly furious but could not do anything to him, Xiao Chen achieved his goal. He felt much happier in his heart.
When Ying Qiong heard Xiao Chen's words, a clear fluctuation appeared in her eyes. She said softly, "You really obtained the other core painting piece. Indeed, I guessed that the barrier would not be able to hold you for long."
Right after she spoke, Ying Qiong's expression returned to normal. Suddenly, a smile appeared in her eyes as she looked meaningfully at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's skin was not thin. If the other party wanted to look, he would just let her be. His expression did not change at all.
"I originally thought that Young Master Xiao was extraordinary. You do not lust after beauties and have a pure Dao heart. It looks like you have surpassed this little girl's expectations.
"However, there are some women that you cannot touch. Do you know what kind of trouble your kiss has brought you?"
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I do not know what kind of trouble it is, but I feel much happier. My thoughts are clear now. The matter of you trapping me in the stone room back then is now even."
How hateful! This fellow actually did all this just to take revenge for tricking me back then. Am I, Ying Qiong, really that unattractive?
Ying Qiong's expression changed, and the smile in her eyes vanished. After a long time, she suppressed the fluctuating emotions in her heart and said, "Very well, I will not speak nonsense with you. I need the other half of your core painting piece."
Xiao Chen replied straightforwardly, "That is impossible."
"Don't be in a rush to reject me. I do not know what fortuitous encounter you had. It looks like you have indeed grasped the Immortal Epoch's Alchemy. However, the main ingredients of the Breaking Sage Pill — the Flaming Sun Fruit, the Three Holy Masters Grass, and the Heaven Dragon Flower. Even if you have Astral Coins, you will not be able to buy them. "
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"You have the Breaking Sage Pill. If you want to advance to Martial Sage, you are almost certain. This core painting piece is not very useful to you. However, it is my opportunity to advance to Martial Sage. "
Ying Qiong continued, "Give me the core painting piece in your hand, and I will give you the Flaming Sun Fruit, the Three Holy Masters Grass, and the Heaven Dragon Flower. It is a fair trade, each taking what they need."
Ying Qiong's words were worth considering. Martial Sage was still far from Xiao Chen's current level.
However, once he accumulated sufficient accumulations in the half-Sage realm, his opportunity to advance to Martial Sage would be in the Breaking Sage Pill's Alchemic Recipe. If it was as the other party said, those three Spirit Herbs could not be bought even if one had money, that would be problematic.
