The Light Butterfly nodded, seemingly understanding.
Since starting their journey of thousands of miles, this Light Butterfly had undergone significant changes, growing increasingly active and domineering.
Following the boy's directions, Chen Qing and his two companions continued upward. After just one day, Chen Qing spotted a boy's corpse pinned to a big tree ahead, its blood already drained. A crow perched on the boy's shoulder, pecking at his corpse.
Nie Fei exclaid, "How is this possible? On this island accessible only to those in the Qi Refining Realm, he should have been invincible!"
Xuanping cautiously approached, examining the surrounding battlefield, "The residual spiritual pressure fluctuations here have the aura of Foundation Establishnt!"
"Foundation Establishnt cultivators indeed couldn't originally ascend to this island, but they could advance to Foundation Establishnt after arriving!"
"The Yin Yang Sect likely dispatched nurous Qi Refining Realm experts nearing perfection to the island, breaking through to Foundation Establishnt here!"
Nie Fei ca to a realization, "No wonder they dared to release abnormal people back to the immortal island!"
As the trio discussed, they heard a Taoist's laughter echoing from afar, "Hahaha, I've finally found three sword feeders!"
It was an extrely obese Taoist, appearing to be in his forties, with a round belly. Yet, he moved with steps in the air, his speed incredibly fast.
Seeing the Yin Yang Sect Daoist robe on the Taoist, Xuanping imdiately took out the Xuan Bird Bow from her back, nocked an arrow, and shot it in one fluid motion.
The fat Taoist casually caught the feathered arrow and fixed his gaze on Xuanping, "A little girl, huh, such a figure, hahahaha!"
"You don't need to feed the sword, just accompany for a few months!"
Shen Chong stared intently at Xuanping. He originally had a bright future but was forced onto this island, using a Mortal Gu to establish his Foundation against his will.
He was fuming inside, and now, seeing Xuanping, such a stunning beauty in this desolate wilderness, he felt a parched mouth.
Although Xuanping wore the bronze ghost mask obscuring her face, her exquisite figure was evident, making him feel heated without seeing her face.
Xuanping's eyes flashed with anger, "Looking for death!"
Shen Chong laughed loudly, "Looking for death? You, with your two Qi Refinent ninth-layers and one at full Qi Refining, dare to boast in front of , a Foundation Establishnt master?!"
"I admit that you Jiguang Sect folks are unparalleled within the Qi Refining Realm, but in the hands of your Foundation Establishnt grandpa, you'd better behave!"
"Obediently play with for a few months, and I'll naturally let you go once I tire of it!"
In Chen Qing's hand, the Geng tal Sword slowly appeared. This Taoist was courting death!
Gold light radiated from his body as Chen Qing leaped in two steps to confront Shen Chong. Shen Chong sneered, "A Qi Refining ninth layer dares attack a Foundation Establishnt? Let show you what 'as high as the heavens and as deep as the earth' ans!"
Shen Chong spread his hands, and from his gestures appeared two fish. As the fish surfaced, waves surged around them, and Shen Chong punched, commanding tons of water waves to crash down on Chen Qing!
Chen Qing waved his sleeve, casting "Universe in the Sleeve," making those strange phenona disappear, startling Shen Chong into a hasty retreat, becoming cautious.
"What kind of move is this?"
Chen Qing caught up with Shen Chong within three steps, unleashed the Great Kui Sword, and burst with imnse strength, slashing down at Shen Chong with thunder-bound within a ten-foot radius!
Shen Chong opened his palm to grip a blue glow, firmly caught Chen Qing's sword, then swiped his large sleeve, sending Chen Qing flying.
Crashing onto a large rock, Chen Qing shattered it from the terrifying force of Shen Chong's sleeve.
He burst out from the debris, having taken no damage thanks to his Golden Skin and Jade Bone.
Chen Qing's Geng tal Sword rained down on Shen Chong like a violent storm, Shen Chong continuously waved his sleeve to battle Chen Qing, the blue glow within his sleeves clashing with Chen Qing at every turn.
Each ti Chen Qing was forced back, Xuanping took the opportunity to shoot a Xuan Bird Arrow, hindering Shen Chong's pursuit.
Chen Qing leaped again, charging at Shen Chong. In all his years of cultivation, this was the first ti he encountered soone able to withstand a direct strike from him, even if his opponent was a Foundation Establishnt.
Shen Chong battled Chen Qing again, "Jiguang Sect does have so skills, but your spirit Gu belong to !"
"Obtaining your spirit Gu will compensate for my forced breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt losses!"
Just after exchanging three moves with Chen Qing, Shen Chong felt a massive force hit his back—Nie Fei, having subtly transford into a mosquito, swung a full-force Five Elents Fist.
To Nie Fei's shock, Shen Chong only stumbled.
Though stumbled, Xuanping seized the mont and shot an arrow that pierced Shen Chong's arm.
After punching Chen Qing away, Shen Chong pulled out the Xuan Bird Arrow from his arm, "You've angered your grandpa now!"
A torrent of blood began returning to his body. Xuanping once more nocked an arrow, "Go, don't get entangled with him; if more Foundation Establishnt from the Yin Yang Sect arrive, we won't escape!"
Hearing this, Chen Qing imdiately retreated.
Shen Chong laughed heartily, "Now that you want to flee, it's too late!"
He extended his hand, and Chen Qing, Nie Fei, and Xuanping felt their blood reverse flow, bleeding from their seven orifices.
Their bodies felt out of control, blood incessantly flowing from their orifices.
Nie Fei rolled in pain on the ground, "Blood Gu, he has a Blood Gu!"
At that mont, the boy's corpse hanging from the tree suddenly struggled to rise as if using his last ounce of strength. He reached out towards them, revealing a large hole in the ground. Countless trees and vines extended over, enveloping them before pulling them underground.
As they continued to fall through the pit, tumbling about for over a quarter of an hour, the three were finally spat out from the soil, with Nie Fei tearing the vines from his body.
"The boy saved us."
Chen Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, "He's not doing well himself; likely captured."
"No wonder he began a frenzied hunt of the Yin Yang Sect the mont he landed on the island."
"Unfortunately, it seems too late now."
Xuanping stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, elatedly, "Look around!"
Chen Qing glanced around to find an entire valley densely packed with spiritual dicine!
Having just arrived, a heavy fog hung overhead, concealing the entire valley within.
That boy used his last bit of strength to send them to this treasure trove and then summoned the fog to hide them here.
Chen Qing grabbed a Blood Ginseng, cleaned it, and popped it in his mouth, chewing and swallowing it.
"I'll try to see if eating all these spiritual dicines can push to full Qi Refining Realm."
Chen Qing pulled out a spiritual dicine plant and stuffed it into his mouth, devouring the spiritual dicine madly.
After treating their injuries, Xuanping and Nie Fei also helped Chen Qing gather these spiritual dicines from around the area, hastening his consumption.
Having consud nearly a hundred catties of spiritual dicine, Chen Qing sat cross-legged, beginning intense cultivation.
Under the nourishnt of imnse dicinal power, the ninth ridian was increasingly unblocked.
He opened another seven-tenths of the ninth ridian before opening his eyes and gulping down the spiritual dicine placed beside him by Xuanping.
Over a hundred catties more, and in less than half a day, Chen Qing consud over a thousand catties of spiritual dicine.
With the ninth ridian fully traversed, he only needed to break through the final bottleneck to reach full Qi Refining Realm!
Chen Qing continued eating; in a re three hours, he consud another thousand catties of spiritual dicine, driving the Spiritual Energy within him constantly.
Chen Qing reached out beside him only to find the spiritual dicine gone, "No more?"
Nie Fei said, "None left, we've found all of it in the entire valley for you. Haven't you reached full Qi Refining Realm?"
Chen Qing said, "Not quite, the bottleneck is incredibly tough!"
Xuanping pointed to the mist above, "The mist is changing."
Chen Qing looked at the mist, seeing it gradually leaving the valley, drifting outward.
Chen Qing imdiately said, "Follow it!"
"The boy is guiding us!"
Following the mist, the three trekked over sixty miles and found a Sword Tomb ahead.
There were nurous Sword Ghosts around, and the surrounding trees trembled as masses of vines stretched toward the Sword Ghosts, drawing all the Sword Ghosts away.
