Chapter 99

Feeling the increase of the Geng Metal Qi in his dantian, Hua Xiajiu couldn't help but have a bold idea.

He wanted to absorb a large amount of Geng Metal Qi into his dantian, making it as dense as possible, and then, like the True Essence Pill, condense the Geng Metal Qi into a Geng Metal Pill.

At this moment, four large golden birds had already appeared, rushing towards Hua Xiajiu.

Hua Xiajiu looked at the four golden birds rushing towards him, like a wolf seeing a sheep, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation. With a flash of golden light in his hand, the Geng Metal longbow appeared again.

...

Two days later, when the last sixteen golden birds were shot down, sixteen streams of Geng Metal Qi, which had grown significantly, returned to his body like a river flowing into the sea, entering his dantian.

Hua Xiajiu's dantian had become a golden sea, with the purple True Essence Pill resembling a round purple island, faintly visible in the golden sea.

"To condense the Geng Metal Pill, the Geng Metal Qi is still far from enough."

Without giving Hua Xiajiu much time to think, eight more golden birds appeared, rushing towards him.

Hua Xiajiu laughed excitedly.

"Let the storm come more fiercely—" Hua Xiajiu suddenly thought of a famous quote from someone on Earth.

...

At this moment, most people in the Five Elements Hall could not understand what Hua Xiajiu was doing.

Except for the outer disciples who joined through the Five Elements Array, each inner disciple had one chance to enter the Five Elements Array for learning and enlightenment.

However, most people could not last for half a month, and only a few could last more than thirty days, experiencing what Hua Xiajiu was experiencing now.

Therefore, most people in the Five Elements Hall were confused, starting to whisper, and soon the hall became noisy.

"What's going on? Hua Xiajiu should have consumed a lot of soul energy."

"Yes! His soul energy is not enough to support the release of soul consciousness, so he cannot control the Geng Metal Qi. But—what's with that golden longbow in his hand?"

"Hmph! A few idiots, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." A self-important man with mid-stage Out-of-the-Corpse cultivation sneered.

"Ah, Senior Brother Bai! Senior Brother Bai said that telling us about this would affect our state of mind. But Shen Yuzhe, who has the same cultivation as me, has a master who is Senior Uncle Ren—"

The self-important man, with an unchanged expression, continued to act superior: "You don't know—"

"Ah—everyone, quickly look at the Five Elements Ranking. Hua Xiajiu has been in the Golden Gate for forty-four days, ranking thirty-sixth, surpassing Senior Uncle Ren's forty-three days."

"This kid is amazing! I heard that those who cultivate the Five Elements techniques, the longer they stay in the Five Elements Array, the longer they will go in their cultivation path, and their cultivation realm will be higher."

"Doesn't that mean Hua Xiajiu will go further and have a higher cultivation than Senior Uncle Ren in the future?"

"Rubbish! Don't forget, this kid is the legendary Geng Metal Body, his cultivation of Geng Metal techniques progresses rapidly, and his spell power is much stronger than ordinary cultivators, and his speed is much faster."

"You seem to have forgotten Hua Xiajiu's true identity. He is the only disciple of the Yinyang Pulse in a hundred years, and it is said that his talent in the Yinyang Pulse techniques is no less than Senior Uncle Yinyang Mountain's Ghost."

"Yes! I didn't expect this kid to have such extraordinary talent, not only in the Yinyang Pulse but also possessing the legendary Geng Metal Body."

"Do you think the few of us in the Five Elements Pulse, especially the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Hall, will take Hua Xiajiu to our Five Elements Hall?"

"Ah! That's right! The Grand Elder specializes in the Metal technique. Moreover, the Grand Elder has late-stage Asking the Dao cultivation, not much weaker than the Sect Leader."

...

Shen Yuzhe, who had been looking smug, couldn't help but look a bit displeased when he heard people discussing Hua Xiajiu's ranking surpassing his master. Even Ren Xian'er, who had been staring at Hua Xiajiu in the picture, couldn't help but frown, looking somewhat displeased.

"Hmph! So what if he has extraordinary talent? Even with extraordinary talent, he still has to survive to the end. Over the years, there have been countless people with extraordinary talent in the cultivation world, but many of them died prematurely." Shen Yuzhe, unable to bear the constant mention of his master and the praise of Hua Xiajiu, couldn't help but speak loudly.

Many people in the crowd looked at Shen Yuzhe with disdain but didn't say anything.

At the same time, in a purple palace about ten miles from the Five Elements Hall, near the top of the mountain.

An old man with black hair and beard, his face tinged with dark gold, was sitting cross-legged in a secret room. A picture appeared in front of him.

In the picture, Hua Xiajiu held the Geng Metal longbow, and sixteen golden arrows, in groups of four, turned into golden light, causing the sixteen golden birds to disintegrate with a series of bangs. Part of them turned into Geng Metal Qi, returning to the Five Elements Array space, while another part was carried by the Geng Metal Qi from the sixteen golden arrows, entering Hua Xiajiu's body and dantian.

As the old man's eyes opened and closed, a faint, substantial killing aura spread.

In the Five Elements Array, Hua Xiajiu's brows furrowed. He clearly sensed that a small part of the Geng Metal Qi that had just entered his body had retreated from his dantian, being expelled from his body and dissipating into the Five Elements Array space.

The Geng Metal Qi in his dantian was already extremely dense, reaching the maximum density that Geng Metal Qi could achieve, reaching a saturated state. It was almost impossible for any more Geng Metal Qi to enter his dantian.
