Chapter 88 - 88: Flowing Brightness Sand in Hand
Perfected Dan Yang heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Cheng Xu. “Little Cheng, did you just…?”
“I accidentally absorbed a ball of black matter earlier, and that black matter seems to be able to devour rhe strange power of the Black Water Mystic Palace.” Cheng Xu explained in a half-false manner.
“Black substance?” Dan Yang and Chi Yao looked at him in bewilderment. “Is it harmful to the body?”
“I haven’t discovered it yet, but it has strengthened my body quite a bit.”
“That’s good.” Perfected Chi Yao was relieved. “Now, it seems that the demon is after the black substance in your body. Moreover, from what he said, that thing seems to be called the Dark Dao Origin.11
“Dark Dao Origin?” “Since he dares to call himself this name, he must have a powerful background. Don’t easily reveal it in the future,” Perfected Dan Yang analyzed.
“I understand.”
Perfected Dan Yang nodded slightly. As he controlled the treasured ship to fly back to the Medicine Celestial Valley, he couldn’t help but ask Perfected Chi Yao, “Speaking of which, has Junior Brother’s research on the Medicine Mantra been successful? 1 think that demon has been poisoned by you.”
“It’s barely considered a success. At least it can be used.” Daoist Chi Yao nodded and smiled.
“Not bad, not bad. Teach our senior and junior brothers well another day.”
In the southwest corner of Mini Nantian, in the Black Water Palace’s stronghold.
The Palace Lord of Black Water Mystical Palace came back in a sorry state. His skin was a strange dark purple color.
After returning to his cave abode, Blackwater Palace Lord desperately suppressed the poison in his body. From time to time, he would spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood. Fie was tormented to the point of suffocation.
“Damn it! What the hell is that mantra spell of the Medicine Immortal Valley that can poison me to this extent?”
As he spoke, he could not help but spit out another mouthful of poisonous blood.
The poison in his body seemed to be endless and could not be removed at all.
He was a late Aurotis Core cultivator, but this was the first time he had been tortured by poison to such an extent.
What was even more terrifying was that this poison was not the kind that had been eaten or inhaled by him. Instead, it was the kind that had been directly injected into his body by the mantra spell.
Logically speaking, this poison should be very weak and easy to remove.
But now, the poison in his body was like maggots in his bones. Not only could it not be removed, but it was also constantly growing.
“It’s just a pity that the Dark Dao Origin can be used by me. My strength will definitely reach the heavens in a single step. Pfft.”
At this moment, a young figure walked in. He seemed unhappy.
If the people of the righteous path saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
Because this young man was none other than Xue Jingcheng, who had already died in Cheng Xu’s hands. However, compared to Xue Jingcheng at the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition, this Xue Jingcheng seemed to be more powerful. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Lord Palace Master, it seems that you have a bad start this time!” Xue Jingcheng did not seem to regard Blackwater Palace Lord as an elder or superior. “Not only did I not get the item, but I also lost a Demonic Neonate.”
Seeing Xue Jingcheng enter, Black Water Palace Lord suppressed the poison in his body and tried his best to look healthier. “We can only say that we underestimated the strength of Little Southern Heaven s Righteous Path. Especially Fu Yunzi. He’s far stronger than we expected.”
“He’s just an Early Stage Core Transformation cultivator. When our army arrives, he’ll be nothing more than an ant.” Xue Jingcheng did not mind. “In comparison, I’m more interested in the death of the Specter Brothers.”
BlackWater Palace Master’s expression changed slightly as he explained, “There’s a mysterious kid in the Medicine Celestial Valley who seems to be able to restrain my sect’s BlackWater. The Medicine Celestial Valley s Medicine Mantra is extremely tyrannical.”
“It can restrain my BlackWater. Could it be the power of another Dao Origin?” Xue Jingcheng was secretly surprised. He then carefully sized up Black Water Palace Lord, “Has Palace Lord been poisoned?”
“Yes, a very terrifying poison.”
As he spoke, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood.
Xue Jingcheng frowned. A slender black tentacle extended from his fingertip and pierced into the main body of the BlackWater Palace Lord.
“Interesting. Even the power of the Dao source can’t resolve it.”
Two days later, the treasured ship slowly landed in the Medicine Celestial Valley.
The news that Cheng Xu had displayed his might in the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition had already reached the Medicine Celestial Valley. The entire sect came to welcome Cheng Xu and celebrate his triumphant return.
The current Cheng Xu had undoubtedly become the pride of the Medicine Celestial Valley!
In the next few days, the news of the Medicine Celestial Valley winning the championship quickly spread throughout Mini Southern Heaven.
At this point, the Medicine Celestial Valley had returned to the ranks of the five great Righteous Sects of Mini Southern Heaven. No one dared to question the Medicine Celestial Valleys foundation and strength.
At the same time, the news of Fu Yunzi’s return to the Cloud Sect also made the Cloud Sect’s reputation soar. It was showing signs of becoming the number one sect of the Righteous Sect.
It was worth mentioning that although the Medicine Celestial Valley had won the championship, the position of the leader of the Righteous Dao Alliance was ultimately given to the Cloud Sect.
There was no other way. Compared to the Medicine Celestial Valley, the Cloud Sect was clearly more suitable to lead the Righteous Sect Alliance.
Moreover, Little Southern Heaven was now under Fu Yunzi’s control, so no matter how one looked at it, Cloud Sect should be the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance.
Cheng Xu didn’t care about the fact that he was a nobody.
After attending the celebration banquet, he hurried back to his cave abode and began to install the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword.
Not long after the installation began, the entire user unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep [crash] state.
When she woke up, it was already more than ten days later.
“So the eighth level of the Sword Scripture requires one to master all the previous seven levels?”
Looking at the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword, which only had seven levels of sword techniques, Cheng Xu could not help but feel a little disappointed.
However, from what he had heard, the Seventh-Grade Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was definitely enough.
Now that the Suppressing Demon Martial Arts Competition has ended, he should also immerse himself in studying the Medicine Dao and strive to refine Supreme-grade Medicinal Pills.
The sun and moon rotated, and two months passed in a flash.
After the Demon Suppression Martial Arts Competition, perhaps because they were afraid of Fu Yunzi’s strength, the few sects of the Demonic Path had restrained themselves a lot and basically did not dare to make any big moves.
They would only occasionally appear in some remote places in Mini Nantian, as if they were investigating and searching for something.
Every day, Cheng Xu would either refine medicine or cultivate. Occasionally, he wTould find time to refine a batch of Array Disks and hand them over to Jian Yuxiang. His days were quite leisurely.
After two months of hard work, Cheng Xu finally mastered the ability to refine Supreme-grade Medicinal Pills under the condition of Semi-Automatic Refining.
Unfortunately, some high-grade medicinal pills could not create top-grade pills.
“He should be at the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, right?”
During this period of time, Cheng Xu had been cultivating under the double support of the high-grade Qi Condensation Pill and the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, and his cultivation had increased rapidly.
He was now very close to the Mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Senior Brother, there’s a distinguished guest?”
Miao Changsheng led a group of people into the manor cave.
Cheng Xu focused his eyes and saw Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and Xue Lingyu. It had been two months since they last met, and Yan Changfeng had already entered the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was said that he had also comprehended the fifth level of the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword.
The four of them greeted Cheng Xu familiarly and then sat down at Cheng Xu’s invitation.
“Haha, Brother Cheng, how are you?” Huyan Zan asked rather proudly, “Guess what I brought you?”
“Could it be that the Flowing Brightness Sand has been found?” Cheng Xu’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right, it’s Flowing Brightness Sand!” Huyan Zan chuckled and took out a jade bottle. The bottle contained some golden fine sand, which was the material needed for the Hard Disk to reach 5.6 liters. “How is it, Brother Cheng? This should be enough, right?”
“Enough, It s definitely enough.” Cheng Xu was overjoyed. “Brother Huyan, name your price.”
“Uh, 1 won’t be collecting the spirit stones.” Huyan Zan waved his hand and said with a smile, “My old man said that this Flowing Brightness Sand is to repay my brother’s favor.1’
Cheng Xu didn’t reject him anymore.
After putting away the Flowing Brightness Sand, he curiously looked at the four of them. “I’m afraid there’s something you want me to do, right?”
Yan Changfeng nodded seriously. “A few days ago, many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators from the devil sects went deep into the Endless Desolate Domain in the south. We’re going to investigate together.. Are you interested, Junior Brother Cheng?”
