"Could it be that the Earth Fire was divided into nine parts, or is there another explanation?"
Lu Chen mused to himself, growing more excited about his venture to the eighth peak tomorrow.
anwhile,
Yu Zhibai also returned to his very own peak.
Although he was not an elder, as a chosen one, he was always special.
Not only did he occupy an entire peak, but he also had so attendants and ordinary Qi Refining Disciples at his service.
His peak might look plain, but within its cave dwelling, it was like a giant ice cellar!
In the ice cellar, the temperature was extrely low with thick frost covering the ceiling, walls, and ground beneath his feet!
Within Casting Gear Pavilion, which relied on an underground fire vein, such a place existed solely because of a Magic Artifact personally crafted by Danyang Zi!
Moreover, it was augnted by a powerful formation to create a cave dwelling suitable for Yu Zhibai’s cultivation.
Not just that, deep within the dwelling, there was an ice jade bed!
This so-called ice jade was a type of jade mined from beneath the ice in extrely cold regions, later carved into a bed!
At the sa ti, spiritual power was used to inscribe array patterns within the ice jade bed.
Yu Zhibai spent his days and nights cultivating on this ice jade bed, progressing at a breakneck pace!
Among others at the sa later stage of Foundation Establishnt, there was almost no one who could rival him.
Even for Li Yanran, Yu Zhibai was confident that he could capture her within ten moves!
Yet, he failed to gain any advantage against Lu Chen, who was just at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt.
Danyang Zi even announced in front of everyone that this trip to the Haotian Secret Realm would be led by Lu Chen!
To make matters worse, Li Yanran actually sided with Lu Chen!
"That damn woman, and that Lu Chen..."
As Yu Zhibai sat on the ice jade bed, frost instantly ford on his handso face!
"Ji Pavilion is heartless, so they can’t bla for being ungrateful! With my exceptional single Ice Spiritual Root mutation, I reckon I could join any sect! I might even attract the attention of Haotian Sect! It’s about ti I jumped off this stepping stone that is Ji Pavilion!"
Feeling undervalued, Yu Zhibai harbored thoughts of leaving.
However, right now, he still needed that spot in the Haotian Secret Realm provided by Ji Pavilion!
"Hmph, only those in the Foundation Establishnt Stage can enter the Haotian Secret Realm. I must make a na for myself and draw Haotian Sect’s attention, and then..."
With a sneer, Yu Zhibai began his cultivation, planning to take full advantage of this last period of ti.
After all, once he left Ji Pavilion, he wouldn’t be able to take the ice jade bed with him.
He was well aware of that much.
Aside from him, Li Yanran was sowhat uneasy.
She had a single Wood Spiritual Root.
During the Star Picking Formation, she didn’t sense much, but after exiting, Danyang Zi’s public declaration that she and Yu Zhibai should follow Lu Chen, coupled with the revelation of Xu Taiping’s plot, made Li Yanran wary of Lu Chen’s sowhat terrifying capabilities!
That Lu Chen could enter the Star Picking Formation with a flawed wooden amulet and also co out of it!
What did that indicate?
It ant that Lu Chen, this so-called Loose Cultivator with a Five Spirit Root, was either hiding his true strength, or...
He truly possessed remarkable talent!
Compared to the Core Formation elders here, her Wood Spiritual Root gave her a greater advantage in sensing Lu Chen!
"If she harbors ulterior motives like Yu Zhibai, how should I deal with it?"
Li Yanran’s worries were just that!
Before entering Ji Pavilion, she was actually a Loose Cultivator.
Although she also had a single Spirit Root, the Wood-elent Cultivation Techniques didn’t offer much advantage in combat.
The reason Ji Pavilion took her in as a Core Disciple to nurture her was largely to utilize her later to find Wood-elent materials for Artifact Refining.
Li Yanran was acutely aware that without Ji Pavilion, unless she encountered a sect that specialized in Wood-elent Cultivation Techniques, she wouldn’t be better off anywhere else.
So unlike Yu Zhibai, she was entirely loyal to Ji Pavilion.
Regarding this trip to the Haotian Secret Realm, Li Yanran was even more intent on finding more spiritual wood for Ji Pavilion, or at the very least so Spiritual dicine that could aid in the cultivation of Spiritual Fire.
But now, she keenly sensed that Yu Zhibai seed to have other plans, and Lu Chen was a new disciple of the sect.
Having been a Loose Cultivator, she knew their nature well!
"I’ll just have to play it by ear. After all, since the sect leader thinks so highly of him... However, if he does anything that would harm the sect, I’ll disable him no matter what!"
Li Yanran resolved quietly.
