“Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the tenth level of the Refined Qi realm for the first time in his life. You have received 360 breakthrough stones ?”
Breaking through to the tenth level of the Aura Refining realm had brought Zhu Wuwan a total of 360 breakthrough stones. Half of them were forcefully poured into his body, allowing Zhu Wuwan to stabilize his current strength realm. The other half had become free breakthrough stones.
At this moment, the number of Free Breakthrough Stones that Zhu Wanhao possessed had already reached 1500. If not for the fact that he had used some of the Free Breakthrough Stones to improve the Hundred Poison Elixir Solution and various spells, Zhu Wanhao would have had even more Free Breakthrough Stones.
Zhu Wuwan had already cultivated the Hundred Poison Elixir Solution to the peak of the Small Success Realm and could break through to the Large Success Realm at any time. Zhu Wuwan did not plan to use the Breakthrough Stone to improve it. After all, he still had a lot of free time for the time being.
As long as he could raise the Hundred Poisons Elixir Solution to the realm of perfection, Zhu Wuwan’s alchemy skills would leap into the ranks of low-grade top-grade alchemists. If he could cultivate it to the realm of perfection, he would be infinitely close to middle-grade alchemists and could be said to be the strongest batch of low-grade alchemists.
The Peak Master of Huoyuan Peak, Zhu Chuanhuai, had only managed to raise the Hundred Poisons Elixir Solution to the Mastery Stage. He was already one of the top three alchemists in the Hundred Poisons Sect.
That evening, Zhu Wanhao completed another deal with the Zhen Clan and returned to the Hundred Poisons Sect with a bountiful harvest.
After arriving at a remote place to remove his disguise, Zhu Wuwan took another detour. Although he was a small Qi Condensation cultivator, no one would pay attention to him, for safety reasons, Zhu Wuwan was still very cautious every time he went out. He did not hesitate to spend more time to ensure his safety.
It was the same this time. After walking around blindly and making sure that no one was following him, Zhu Wuwan prepared to leave a remote forest and return to Huoyuan Peak.
Other than the initial time when Zhu Wuyang disguised herself at Huoyuan Peak, she would only do so after leaving Huoyuan Peak to avoid suspicion from the cultivators of Huoyuan Peak.
After all, compared to the few incompetent cultivators who were monitoring outside Huoyuan Peak, it was still difficult to hide from the big shots in Huoyuan Peak.
After such a long time had passed, Zhen Ji and his gang no longer kept an eye on Zhu Wuyang. Occasionally, they would send people to wander around to understand what Zhu Wuyang was doing, and then ignore him.
Therefore, when leaving Huoyuan Peak now, Zhu Wuyang only needed to hide a little and not make it too conspicuous, and he would be able to leave smoothly.
Even if he really encountered these small cultivators who were monitoring him, Zhu Wuwan could turn back immediately. The other party usually could not catch up, or they would not chase after him at all.
This would undoubtedly be safer and prevent the Zhen Clan from discovering the truth.
However, although this move had always been successful and had not encountered any accidents, this time, enemies were bound to meet.
Just as they reached the middle of the grove, Zhu Wuwan was shocked to discover that Zhen Zuonian was treading lightly on the ground, as if he was hiding something.
The sound of Zhu Wuwan’s footsteps startled Zhen Zuonian, causing him to tremble. He quickly looked over and saw Zhu Wuwan, who was wearing a hat and half covering her face.
Zhen Zuonian was stunned for a moment. He did not recognize Zhu Wuyang for a moment, but he still instinctively jumped up and stopped Zhu Wuyang.
When they got closer, Zhen Zuonian finally recognized Zhu Wuan. He was first shocked, but then he laughed.” There’s a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. You barged into hell, and just buried a late-stage Qi Refinement Realm genius of your Zhu Clan. I didn’t expect to meet another martial arts genius. It seems that the heavens want me to get rid of another scourge for our Zhen Clan. ”
“However, according to Zhen Ji’s report, haven’t you been staying at Huoyuan Peak all this time? Why did you come to such a remote place? Zhen Ji is really incompetent. It seems that I have to teach him a lesson when I go back.”
Zhen Zuonian didn’t take Zhu Wuan, a cultivator of the sixth qi layer, seriously at all. He had even killed and buried a genius of the Zhu Clan who was in the late qi layer, let alone a mere Zhu Wuan.
In Zhen Zuonian’s eyes, Zhu Wuyan was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
“Deacon Zhen Zuonian!” Zhu Wanwan frowned. ” I’m just a crippled martial arts genius. You’re a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. You don’t have to target me, right? Anyway, it’s very difficult for me to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in this lifetime. A Qi Condensation cultivator is not a threat to your Zhen Clan at all. ”
Zhen Zuonian smiled. ” Even so, you’ve wasted a lot of my time and energy during this period of time. You’ve made me worry for a while. Just for this, you’ll have to pay with your life. ”
“Not to mention, you saw what I did just now. Do you think I’ll let you off?”
“I won’t tell anyone about this. How about you let me go?” Zhu Wuyang said.
Zhen Zuonian rolled his eyes. ” Do you think I’m an idiot? Why would I believe your nonsense? If you don’t want anyone to know, you’d better kill everyone who knows. Wouldn’t it be better if I’m the only one left? ”
“So today, you have to die, even if you don’t die!”
As he spoke, Zhen Zuonian casually used the Wind Blade Technique. Dozens of wind blades silently attacked Zhu Wuyang, preparing to end him in one move.
“Sou…”
Relying on his powerful mental power, Zhu Wuyan sensed it immediately. He used the Flowing Illusory Dream Steps and easily dodged Zhen Zuonian’s wind blade.
“Eh…”
Zhen Zuonian was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Wuyang dodge the wind blades he released so easily. “”What kind of footwork did you use just now? How come I’ve never seen it before? You were actually able to dodge the wind blades I released. You have to know that I used this wind blade technique to easily kill that ninth-level Qi Refinement prodigy of your Zhu Clan.”
” It’s just a movement technique in the mortal world, the Illusory Shadow Steps. I combined it with the Wind Manipulation Technique, so I was able to dodge your wind blades. ” “If you want to learn, I can teach you,” Zhu Wuwan explained.
“Uh ?” Zhen Zuonian was stunned. ” Are you out of your mind? I’m about to kill you, yet you still want to teach me such a practical footwork. Do you really expect me to let you go? ”
“Hu…”
As he spoke, Zhen Zuonian silently released dozens of wind blades. Like wolves on the hunt, they pounced on Zhu Wuwan from all directions.
“Sou…”
Zhu Wuyang’s body was like a shadow as he easily dodged it again.”If I teach you this footwork, doesn’t that mean I’ve betrayed the Zhu Clan? Your Zhen Clan wouldn’t mind having another spy, right?”
“Good boy, your perception is really strong. What kind of spiritual cultivation technique did you cultivate to actually sense the wind blades I released repeatedly?” “Since the wind blades can’t do anything to you, I’ll have to use my true abilities.” Zhen Zuonian was also a little surprised.
“Wind Blade Formation!”
The mid-level spell, Wind Blade Formation, was released, forming a cage with a radius of several meters. It was like an inescapable net that enveloped Zhu Wuwan.
