Chapter 88: Reaching Xuanlong Mountain

Although Chu Jianqiu seemed to stuff those spirit medicines into his chest, in reality, when he reached under his clothes, the spirit medicines had already been transferred to the Chaos Supreme Tower.

Tan Youxin couldn't help but laugh in exasperation at Chu Jianqiu's actions. This guy was already so wealthy, yet he still cared about a few measly spirit medicines.

In Tan Youxin's view, although these third-rank spirit medicines were precious, they were far from comparable to the value of Chu Jianqiu's spirit talismans. No matter how many of these spirit medicines were collected, they would ultimately have to be handed over to the sect. Although they could be exchanged for a certain amount of contribution points, how could they compare to these life-saving spirit talismans?

She had thrown those spirit medicines to Chu Jianqiu just to make a show of it, but she didn't expect him to actually take them.

The female disciples, seeing this, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Chu Jianqiu looked at everyone, puzzled. What were these people laughing about?

Although these spirit medicines were far from comparable to his spirit talismans in Tan Youxin's eyes, they were different in Chu Jianqiu's eyes. As long as he had the materials, he could always refine more spirit talismans, which didn't take much effort.

These spirit talismans were as common as dirt to him.

But these third-rank spirit medicines were different. With these third-rank spirit medicines, he could refine third-rank spirit pills.

These third-rank spirit medicines were much more valuable to him than the spirit talismans. With the Chaos Supreme Tower, he could hide these spirit medicines inside, and no one would know how many he had when they left the secret realm.

Moreover, he was a pill refiner. Although he hadn't yet reached the level of a third-rank pill refiner, with his array talismans, as long as his array skills improved a bit, setting up an array talisman to refine third-rank pills wouldn't be too difficult.

Bu Feiyue, Yan Junbi, and others, seeing the large number of spirit talismans in Chu Jianqiu's hands, were both shocked and envious.

If they had these spirit talismans, their combat power would increase more than tenfold.

However, since they had such deep grudges with Chu Jianqiu, they didn't have the face to ask him for any. Even if they did, they were sure Chu Jianqiu wouldn't give them any.

In the end, they came up with a plan to have their disciples exchange spirit medicines for Chu Jianqiu's spirit talismans. Chu Jianqiu gave them a half-smile and shrugged, indicating that he had none left.

No way, each of these spirit talismans could play a significant role in battle. Given Bu Feiyue's and the others' ill intentions, how could he hand them the tools to harm himself?

Bu Feiyue's face turned ashen. He had clearly seen that Chu Jianqiu still had plenty of spirit talismans left, but now he said he had none. This was clearly a refusal to sell them.

After resting, they arranged the bodies of the deceased disciples and continued on their journey.

For the rest of the journey, they didn't encounter any of the Blood Fiend Sect's blood-robed warriors.

Two days later, they saw a solitary mountain peak in the distance.

This mountain peak wasn't very high, only about a hundred zhang, and there were no other peaks around it, standing alone on the grassland, looking quite desolate.

This solitary peak was their destination, Xuanlong Mountain.

Even from a distance, they could hear a series of roars, thunderous and echoing through the clouds. Even from a distance of several dozen li, the roars shook the forest.

Hearing these roars, everyone's faces changed. Even from such a distance, the roars were still so powerful, indicating how terrifying the beast must be.

Thinking of facing such a terrifying beast, everyone's hands and feet turned cold.

At this point, everyone had thoughts of retreating, even Bu Feiyue's face turned slightly pale. However, since he had brought everyone here, he couldn't run away in fear without even seeing the beast. If he did, he would have no face to show to his fellow disciples.

Moreover, before entering the secret realm, several high-level figures from their groups had agreed to gather at the foot of Xuanlong Mountain. If he backed out, it would be hard to explain when they returned.

After much deliberation, Bu Feiyue had no choice but to push forward. He would have to see his fellow disciples before deciding what to do next.

When they arrived at the foot of Xuanlong Mountain, they found that many Xuanjian Sect disciples had already gathered around. A rough estimate showed at least several hundred people, including about seventy to eighty True Qi Ninth Rank warriors.

On Xuanlong Mountain, the sounds of battle shook the sky, with sand and rocks flying and trees being uprooted.

A massive beast, about ten zhang tall and thirty to forty zhang long, was fiercely battling with seven or eight warriors.

This beast had a tiger's head and a lion's body, with four huge wings on its broad back and four massive limbs like pillars, each claw strike creating a massive crater.

Behind the powerful beast, on a stone cliff, grew a spirit medicine emitting a deep blue glow. This spirit medicine had a profound and ancient aura, and even from a distance, Chu Jianqiu could sense its extraordinary nature.

This spirit medicine was the reason he had entered the secret realm: the fourth-rank spirit medicine, Tianji Xuanlong Grass.

The strength of the seven or eight warriors was also incredibly powerful, far surpassing ordinary True Qi Ninth Rank warriors. According to Chu Jianqiu's judgment, these warriors were even stronger than Ouyang Yuan.

Even with such a powerful force working together, an ordinary Sea Transformation Realm expert would have been killed long ago, but in front of this beast, these warriors could only barely hold their ground.

Among the seven or eight warriors, Chu Jianqiu saw a familiar floral dress.

When Chu Jianqiu saw the floral dress, he was startled. Senior Sister Zuoqiu had actually brought the sect master in.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu's aura had become that of a True Qi Ninth Rank, indicating that she had paid a significant price to enter, truly sealing her realm.

Chu Jianqiu had read about such realm-sealing secret techniques in the Xuanjian Sect's scripture hall. Once used, breaking through the seal was not easy, and it was no simpler than breaking through a realm normally.

Next to Zuoqiu Lianzhu was a little girl in a pink dress. Although she was only twelve or thirteen years old, her strength was not weak at all.

This little girl in the pink dress didn't use any weapons, but her small, pink fists contained tremendous power. One punch could shatter a boulder several zhang in size.

Among all the warriors, the one most willing to face the powerful beast head-on, besides Zuoqiu Lianzhu, was this little girl in the pink dress.
