Chapter 64: Dragon Pearl

"Junior Sister Hai Lan, you want Jing Wu Xue's Blood Demon Core to forcefully advance to the Life Seizing Realm, right?"

After a moment of silence, as if contemplating the Crown Prince's matter, Chu Tiange changed the subject: "However, Jing Wu Xue is a powerful Life Seizing Realm expert. Even if I kill him, the demon core is too strong to be immediately refined. Moreover, once the demon core enters your body, it will burn all your internal organs and turn your meridians and qi sea into a mess."

"I have my own plans, Senior Brother Tian Ge, you don't need to worry. Look at this, and you'll understand why I'm not afraid of the Blood Demon Core."

Yun Hailan smiled, and under the influence of her martial arts, the snow and ice in the air transformed into runes and entered her body. After a long while, she stood up, holding a pearl in her hand.

This pearl emitted a dazzling light, too intense to look at, revealing an extremely powerful force.

A silver-white divine light shot up to the sky, clearing away all the surrounding snow and ice.

Moreover, within the silver-white divine light, one could vaguely see a huge divine dragon moving, roaring, and surging, its overwhelming dragon breath making it hard to breathe.

Song Haisan stepped back several times, his eyes wide open. He had never expected that Yun Hailan would possess such an item.

This was a legendary treasure.

"Dragon Pearl!"

Seeing the pearl, Chu Tiange was greatly surprised. His true qi stirred, as if he was about to make a move to snatch the Dragon Pearl from Yun Hailan, but then he thought of the Crown Prince and slowly retracted his true qi, taking a deep breath: "It's actually a Dragon Pearl, how rare. Our Tianwei Academy, known as the top academy on the continent, might not have many treasures like this. Where did Junior Sister get it from?"

"I found this Dragon Pearl by chance while playing in the sea." Yun Hailan spoke casually, her tone somewhat insincere: "The Dragon Pearl contains the will of a divine dragon, suppressing all evil spirits. I once obtained a Dragon Suppressing Pill, which gave me divine dragon blood in my body. After nurturing it for many days, the aura of the Dragon Pearl has partially merged with me, making it a great treasure. I plan to use the Dragon Pearl to suppress Jing Wu Xue's Blood Demon Core and refine it into a body outside my own, a second divine spirit, not to absorb it into my body. What do you think, Senior Brother Chu Tiange? In fact, the Crown Prince noticed the Dragon Pearl on me the first time he met me, and thus taught me a cultivation method to condense a body outside my own, a second divine spirit."

"Body outside the body, second divine spirit, taught by the Crown Prince? No wonder. This martial art is a secret transmission in our Tianwei Academy, even I haven't learned it." Chu Tiange was shocked again, looking deeply at Yun Hailan: "This is a peak king-level martial art. Generally, to learn this martial art, one needs over ten thousand merit points, and it cannot be privately taught, or the academy will investigate, revoke the martial art, and imprison the person for life. However, the Crown Prince is an exception; who dares to hold him accountable? Junior Sister Hai Lan, you are truly blessed to have gained the Crown Prince's favor. Since that's the case, I'll help you kill Jing Wu Xue. I hope you will speak well of me to the Crown Prince when you meet him again."

"Of course, the Crown Prince said that if I need to advance to the Life Seizing Realm, he will come to help me." Yun Hailan, seeing that she had successfully intimidated Chu Tiange, flipped her hand, and the Dragon Pearl disappeared into her palm, merging with her skin.

The Dragon Pearl seemed to be an extremely strong essence, not physical, residing in Yun Hailan's dantian qi sea.

"Ha ha ha ha... Hai Lan, I never thought you had such a treasure. No wonder you look down on that Yang Qi. What is he? Just a Sky Absorbing Grass, not even a thousandth of the Dragon Pearl."

"Shut up." Yun Hailan shouted: "You should focus on your cultivation and strive to defeat Yang Qi! Do you understand? You must avenge the humiliation he inflicted on you. When you beat him to the point of spitting blood, now that his cultivation has improved and he seeks revenge, you should learn from him."

"Yes."

Song Haisan is Yun Hailan's cousin. Logically, this was a scolding, and Song Haisan should have retorted, but he didn't dare. He knew his cousin's capabilities, and now that she had somehow connected with the Crown Prince of Tianwei Academy, he couldn't afford to offend her and had to comply.

On the mountain, a few resting Qi Sect students were feeding griffins with Qi Gathering Pills. Hearing Yun Hailan and Chu Tiange's conversation, everyone looked at Yun Hailan with fear and admiration.

To have a connection with the Crown Prince, what a great honor?

"Hmm? I can already sense the Blood Demon's aura in the northwest direction, where a large number of blood-sucking bandits are gathering. Jing Wu Xue must be among them. Let's go." Chu Tiange suddenly used his true qi to draw a map in the air. A blood-red mark appeared on the map and then exploded.

Some students who were feeding griffins were about to move.

But Chu Tiange waved his hand, "This trip to the Blood Demon camp is very dangerous and full of difficulties. Although you are Qi Sect students, you are not enough to help and will easily become a burden. Don't follow. Only Yun Hailan and I will go, understood?"

"Yes!"

All the students, including Song Haisan, seeing Chu Tiange's strong and decisive decision, dared not say no.

"Junior Sister Hai Lan, you don't need to ride your griffin. I know you have hidden many strengths. Just that Dragon Pearl, if its power is unleashed, can provide an endless supply of true qi, never exhausting." Chu Tiange suddenly had a sword light appear under his feet, which then enveloped his entire body, shooting straight into the sky through the snow.

Yun Hailan smiled, a divine dragon-like true qi surrounding her body, and she disappeared into the snow.

Song Haisan stared blankly at Yun Hailan's disappearing figure, as if he was seeing his cousin for the first time.

"Yang Qi, when my cousin showed you kindness back then, did you really think you could be with her? A person like her, how could a small-time thug from the countryside ever touch her?"

Song Haisan punched the snow, creating a deep crater.

"Seniors, let's go kill some blood-sucking bandits and earn merit points to return to the academy."

"Everything will be as Brother Haisan arranges."

At this moment, all the students of the academy treated Song Haisan politely. After all, his cousin had a connection with the Crown Prince. Originally, Song Haisan had been defeated by Yang Qi, and everyone had looked down on him, secretly despising him, but now they had to flatter him.

"Brother Haisan, don't be discouraged. Yang Qi is just a miscellaneous student at the academy, his status is like heaven and earth compared to ours. Once he returns to the academy, we can use a hundred methods to deal with him through our connections."

An outer court student flattered him.

"Since that's the case, thank you all for your help." A hint of extreme cunning flashed in Song Haisan's eyes.

They also disappeared into the snow.

At the same time, Yang Qi and his four companions were resting in a manor.

This manor was covered in snow, built in a grand and luxurious style. The current owner of the manor, along with many servants, maids, and soldiers, respectfully greeted Yang Qi and his companions.

Outside the manor, scattered on the ground were hundreds of blood-sucking bandit corpses.

Yang Qi and his companions had been chasing bandits in the northwest and happened to encounter a group of bandits about to attack this manor. They immediately acted, killing all the bandits and saving everyone in the manor.

Otherwise, hundreds of people in the manor would have become dried corpses.

The manor owner was an old man who had reached the seventh stage of martial arts. Upon hearing that Yang Qi and his companions were students of Tianwei Academy, he became extremely enthusiastic, serving tea and water non-stop.

"Manor owner, why don't you move? The northwest is infested with blood-sucking bandits, and they will eventually turn everyone in your manor into dried corpses."

Yang Qi casually asked the manor owner.

"Move? Where to? I have no relatives elsewhere, and I need to take care of so many people." The old man, the manor owner, was on the verge of tears: "I have vast farmlands and several medicinal herb mountains here. If I lose them, I will have nothing. I am willing to contribute half of my property to hope that the esteemed experts can help protect the safety of the manor."

"We are students of Tianwei Academy, upholding justice and slaying evil is our tradition. We don't need your property." Li He spoke, "We are here to eliminate all the blood-sucking bandits, and we won't ask for any reward. Manor owner, can you tell us where there are still traces of blood-sucking bandits nearby? We will help eliminate them and give you a clean home."

"Thank you, thank you. Truly worthy of being students of Tianwei Academy, sages..."

The people in the manor were moved, and a young man, seemingly the son of the manor owner, stepped forward: "Esteemed sages, I have heard a piece of news. Three thousand miles away from here, in the ancient city of Loulan, it was once the most prosperous city in the northwest. A few years ago, the ruler of Loulan was planning to revitalize the city, but the blood-sucking bandits suddenly appeared and killed everyone in the ancient city. Now it has become a base. If we can eliminate this base, all the blood-sucking bandits in the northwest will be wiped out."

"Loulan ancient city?"

Yang Qi seemed to have heard of this name, rumored to be the richest country in the northwest.

"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay. Let's go and investigate this ancient city now." Liang Dong, who had advanced to the Qi Sect realm, was full of confidence.

"Wait, it's said that in the ancient city, there is a Life Seizing Realm expert, Jing Wu Xue, one of the most outstanding experts under the Blood Demon King. We are no match for him. We need to plan in secret. Chu Tiange must be going to kill him, so we can take the opportunity to kill more bandits. We cannot face Jing Wu Xue directly."

Hua Yinhu carefully planned.
