Chapter 168 Shameless Jade Dragon Sect
Qi Yourong, her eyes filled with worry, wanted to ask her seventh grandfather to help Chen Yi, but was stopped by Qi Wuba:
"Don't worry, even if Xu Jiu can't stop him, someone will stand up for him."
Not far away, Qiu Li and Qin Chengcheng stood together.
"Chengcheng, this is Fox Demon's elder coming to bully us. Do you want your sister to stand up for you and stop that old bastard?"
"If Xu Jiu isn't going to suffer a loss, then he won't use it for now."
"I've gained a lot from this trip. It won't be long before I can form my core. When that happens, if any vixen dares to seduce Chen Lang in Qi, I'll break her legs. And if she has a master, I'll beat her master too!" Qin Chengcheng's gaze was serene.
"You'd better break Xu Jiu's legs too, so he can't go out and flirt with other women," Qiu Li said with a smile.
"That won't do. Xu Jiu's legs are still useful." Qin Chengcheng's ears flushed slightly.
"Ugh, what a disgusting sour smell. I thought you were going to say that Xu Jiu's legs were too hard and you couldn't break them."
"Whether it's hard or not, I don't know yet~"
The two women joked around, but their eyes never left Chen Yi.
The moment the puppet ape crashed down on Chen Yi,
Chen Yi did not sit idly by and wait for his death.
boom!
Chen Yi thrust out with one leg with overwhelming force.
In an instant,
The subtle, pure white jade bones radiate a subtle glow, with five colors of gold—green, blue, brown, gold, and red—flowing within them!
The heavy fist of black iron collided with the white leg bone with a loud bang, the ear-piercing metallic clang shattered the surrounding area, and the violent shock wave crushed the ground rock layer with spider web-like cracks!
The three-tiered puppet ape, which was about ten feet tall, was blasted two feet away, and its fist, forged from special gold, was visibly dented and cracked.
Chen Yi remained motionless, with only the fluttering of his clothes. The halo on the surface of his jade bones had not dissipated, but instead made the scorched marks on the black iron look shocking.
Iron Bone Master was the first to feel the power of Chen Yi's kick.
His eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "Your leg bone... third-tier body refinement?!"
The others were also taken aback.
Xu Jiu was able to hold his own against a third-tier puppet ape and even gain a slight advantage, indicating that he was already a third-tier body cultivator.
That's way too fast!
Qi Yourong, Qi Wuba, and the others looked relieved. Although they were surprised, they also felt it was normal.
After all, the resources Xu Jiu obtained in the secret realm over the previous year were the envy of even them. With such a large accumulation of resources,
It was no surprise that he had also achieved mastery of the Golden Bone technique and advanced to the third level of Body Refinement.
but.
A mere beginner in the third stage of body cultivation would be able to fight the puppet ape to a draw, right? This kick could actually injure the puppet ape.
Xu Jiu's leg bones seem a bit off, don't they?
Qi Wuba's eyes showed suspicion.
The young monk also frowned slightly; Xu Jiu's bone-refining technique seemed to be stronger than the basic golden bone technique.
Only Young Master Ji could see clearly that these were not golden bones, but the legendary jade bones!
Even Ji Wuchen was somewhat envious and jealous of the strength of her jade bones.
However, this is in line with Xu Jiu's personality. He has obtained so many resources and has been refining his body with lightning crystals for so long.
It wouldn't make sense if one didn't forge a foundation of super-golden bones.
"With his Jade Bones Forging into Gold and Thunder Dual Body Tempering, Xu Jiu might be able to break through to the legendary fourth-tier body cultivator realm?"
Young Master Ji recalled a passage from a certain historical anecdote and wondered what it meant.
It's important to understand that in the Daqing region, the difficulty of physical cultivation is far greater than that of magical cultivation.
In the past thousand years, the number of fourth-order body cultivators that have appeared can be counted on one hand, and among Nascent Soul cultivators, there are more than ten even at the late Nascent Soul stage.
At that moment, Ji Wuchen looked at the Jade Dragon Sect with amusement and shook his head slightly.
The Jade Dragon Sect is truly useless; even if you were given a real dragon, you couldn't control it.
After the others discovered that Xu Jiu had already reached the third-tier body cultivator, they also looked at the Jade Dragon Sect with schadenfreude.
This is a third-tier body cultivator; their combat power already surpasses that of a typical pseudo-core cultivator, and in close combat, they are not much weaker than an ordinary true core cultivator.
Just how wealthy is the Jade Dragon Sect that even a body cultivator of this level is unwilling to vouch for them?
They even said they didn't record the entry into the system; isn't that just pushing people out?
Vice Sect Master Yan felt bitter inside. He had no idea when Xu Jiu, that cunning fellow, had advanced to the third-tier body cultivator.
If we had known this would happen, we could have discussed the resource sharing issue again!
Now, he was being stared at by everyone and felt extremely embarrassed.
At the same time, he felt resentment. Xu Jiu must have wasted a lot of cultivation resources in the secret realm, otherwise he couldn't have improved his body refinement cultivation so quickly.
That's a resource worth 200,000 spirit stones! If it were given to a sect and refined into pills, how many Foundation Establishment peak cultivators could be created!
Master Yan looked at Xu Jiu with a complex and indescribable feeling in his heart.
In the arena, Chen Yi kicked the puppet ape away, then stood still.
After a slight surprise, the Iron-Bone Master calmed down.
"Boy, don't think that just because you're a third-tier body cultivator, you can do whatever you want to my disciple."
I've defeated more than a handful of Core Formation cultivators, let alone a lowly Body Refinement cultivator like you.
Today, even if I don't examine your soul, I will still teach you a lesson!
Iron Bone Master's face darkened, and the puppet-controlling hand seals at his fingertips suddenly changed!
The towering puppet ape's hinges emitted a piercing shriek, and deep blue spiritual patterns lit up inch by inch from its joints. Its iron fist was even wrapped in the energy fluctuations of the mid-stage third rank, and it crashed down like a meteor!
As the first punch landed, Chen Yi blocked it with his arm. The golden light from his arm bones surged like a tidal wave, and the clang of metal against metal was deafening!
The second punch followed, and Chen Yi spun around and countered with an elbow strike. The golden crystal and jade bone patterns flowed instantly, and the violent shockwave crushed the rock beneath his feet into dust!
The third punch tore through the air, and Chen Yi moved like lightning, meeting the attack head-on with a single palm strike—
"Clang!!!"
Amidst the blinding bursts of sparks, the third-tier puppet was forced to slide back several feet, its alloy fist revealing spiderweb-like cracks!
The onlookers held their breath.
Ji Wuchen exclaimed in amazement, "Xu Jiu is not only strong in lightning magic and cultivation, but also in physical skills. No wonder the lightning lion in the third level couldn't do anything to him. The body he's built is comparable to an ordinary magic weapon!"
Qi Wuba sighed, "I am far inferior to Xu Jiu."
The young monk Linghui paused slightly on his golden lotus feet, his gaze sweeping over the subtle radiance of Chen Yi's bones flowing within him, lost in thought.
The Iron-Bone Master was also shocked. This Xu Jiu actually possessed such strength, able to fight his mid-stage third-tier puppet to a standstill.
Even if a puppet's combat strength is considered one level lower than a cultivator's, Xu Jiu still possesses at least the peak of the early stage of the third rank in body refinement.
With such cultivation, he is not insufficient to be a match for his disciple.
In the blink of an eye, the Iron-Boned True Man's attitude toward Chen Yi had undergone a subtle change.
He changed his puppet-controlling technique again, preparing to unleash all the puppet ape's energy in an instant to test Chen Yi's true strength.
Just then, Chen Yi sneered inwardly:
He transmitted his voice to Iron Bone Master: "Enough!"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Yi's eyes as the power of the Five-Colored Thunder Pattern Soul Whip secretly flowed into his palm.
He suddenly closed in by three zhang, and with a seemingly ordinary palm strike, he struck the puppet ape's breastplate.
The instant the palm struck the black iron, the Soul Thunder Whip intent, wrapped in the chains of the Four Symbols Laws, quietly emerged.
The five-colored lightning, like a poisonous dragon, pierced through layers of restrictions, precisely striking the core of the puppet crystal in the chest cavity, and fiercely hitting its core divine consciousness imprint!
"Snap!"
The divine consciousness imprint hidden deep within the puppet crystal was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
A sudden, intense pain, as if paralyzed by lightning, surged through the soul of the Iron-Bone True Man, who was being controlled from a hundred feet away. His entire body went numb, and he almost stiffened for a moment.
The connection between its consciousness and the puppet instantly broke!
Before the excruciating pain subsided, a divine message had already entered his sea of consciousness:
"Senior Tiegu, with outsiders in front of us, as Ning Xianzi's friends and family, we should avoid making things too ugly."
Chen Yi had actually stopped and hadn't used his full strength. Otherwise, he could have used the Soul Whip to directly guide the Iron Bone True Man's soul through the Puppet Ape's spiritual connection.
Iron Bone True Man, despite being a third-tier puppeteer with a divine sense reaching the mid-third tier, occasionally couldn't withstand the blows of the Five-Colored Soul Thunder Whip.
If Chen Yi hadn't held back, he would have definitely suffered a great loss.
Even though Chen Yi only used a small amount of force, Iron Bone True Man's divine sense was still numb and painful.
Iron Bone Master was horrified. He knew perfectly well that the bald Xu Jiu before him possessed a divine soul power that surpassed even his physical cultivation, reaching a level that could threaten him.
He quickly transmitted his voice:
"Young friend, please stop. It's all a misunderstanding. Hehe, I knew Bu Er had a sharp eye."
Xu Xiaoyou is very skilled and has a pure spirit. Hehe, today's test proves he is indeed a young talent.
It's more than enough to match my family's best.
Rest assured, young friend, I guarantee your soul test results. As for your affair with my disciple, I will no longer concern myself with it.
Despite the numbness and pain in his divine sense, Iron Bone Master forcibly used the Puppet Control Technique to re-establish a connection with the puppet ape and summon it back without Chen Yi's interference.
At the same time, he faced everyone and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, young friend Xu is indeed a handsome man!"
Xu Jiu's soul doesn't need to be examined; I'll protect it!
"Bu Er, why don't you bring your friend over? This old man is treating; tonight we'll drink until we're both completely drunk!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Only the fingers of the Iron Bone True Man hidden in his sleeve twitched slightly, clearly indicating that the Soul Thunder Whip had just struck him and made him feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone had hoped to see Fairy Ning's master severely punish the ugly bald man, ideally discovering through a soul examination that he had been implanted with a demonic seed and then killing him.
As a result, after you fought twice, the old man with the white beard gave in first?
It was just that soft, fluffy slap, why did you stop hitting me?
Furthermore, he praised Xu Jiu for his handsome appearance, which means he acknowledges Xu Jiu as his son-in-law?
The onlookers were greatly disappointed.
Only a few people, such as Ji Wuchen and the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the air, knew what happened when Chen Yi's final palm struck the ape puppet.
Ji Wuchen was already aware of Chen Yi's methods, so he was not surprised.
Emperor Qi, however, let out a soft exclamation of surprise:
"So it's this kid who likes to keep things hidden, not bad."
Unexpectedly, besides the three girls, there was another person who had also obtained some of the Thunder Soul Sect's true teachings.
Then, he transmitted his voice to the royal family official below:
Xiao Qi, pay close attention to Xu Jiu. I think the Jade Dragon Sect can't handle him, so it would be better if our royal family focused on cultivating him.
This child's future achievements should be no less than those of Wuba and Yourong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it as soon as possible."
The white-haired old master replied telepathically.
At the same time, Qiu Li also heard the telepathic message from her master, Fairy Zixiao:
"Qiu Li, this boy's lightning magic is acceptable. When you have time, ask him if he would be willing to return to Zhongzhou with us. Our Thundercloud Sect can make an exception and accept him as a disciple."
"Yes, Master."
The attention and telepathic communication from the two Nascent Soul cultivators did not cause any disturbance.
The cultivators were still puzzled as to why.
The soul test on Chen Yi must continue.
The elderly royal asked:
"Iron Bone Master is willing to vouch for young friend Xu Jiu, exempting him from the demonic seed examination. Does anyone have any objections?"
The onlookers, including the True Immortal of Core Formation, naturally had no objections.
Qin Chengcheng was a little anxious. She didn't want Chen Yi to side with the puppeteers, as this would allow Ning Bu'er to take the opportunity to rise to power.
However, she had no teachers or elders present, and no one to speak up for her. Moreover, she couldn't trouble Qiu Li entirely with such a trivial matter, since Qiu Li was a disciple of a Nascent Soul Master and sometimes had to speak on behalf of the Thundercloud Sect of Central Continent.
Fortunately,
At this moment, Vice Sect Master Yan of the Jade Dragon Sect spoke up.
"Hahaha, Iron Bone Master, Xu Jiu is a disciple of my Jade Dragon Sect, so naturally my Jade Dragon Sect will vouch for him. Why bother you, Master?"
"Xu Jiu, aren't you coming back yet? My Jade Dragon Sect can just give you a quick check-up; don't let outsiders laugh at us!"
Vice Sect Leader Yan experienced a surge of emotions in a short period of time.
He was momentarily surprised when Iron Bone Master retracted his puppet and admitted defeat.
He knew the strength of the Iron-Bone True Man; in a real fight, even two of Vice Sect Master Yan wouldn't be enough.
Although only one puppet was sent out, it was still more than a body cultivator like Xu Jiu, who had just entered the third stage, could withstand.
At that time, he thought the old man had gone easy on him.
Then, after carefully observing the old man's complexion, it became clear that he might have suffered a hidden loss.
Immediately, Vice Sect Master Yan guessed that Xu Jiu might have used Lei Ling's methods.
He felt even worse at that moment.
Xu Jiu didn't receive the true teachings of the Thunder Soul Sect, so how come he's so strong?
Looking back now, some of the rumors circulating about these hidden realms might actually be true.
Xu Jiuyi was a leader among the prodigies, but he stumbled when he finally received the inheritance, losing his best opportunity.
Just as Vice Sect Master Yan was finding the situation difficult, he heard a voice transmission from Sect Master Xu, who was in the mid-stage of Core Formation, asking him to keep Xu Jiu at bay.
So he swallowed his pride and spoke.
Chen Yi had long been impatient with Vice Sect Master Yan's fickle nature.
Seeing that he was still bringing up the matter of the Jade Dragon Sect disciples, Chen Yi directly said in front of everyone:
"Vice Sect Master Yan,"
I remember you just said that I have never been registered as a member of the Jade Dragon Sect, but now you want me to return to the Jade Dragon Sect. What is the meaning of this?
Besides, when the Jade Dragon Sect invited me into the secret realm several months ago, we signed a contract.
I have completed my assigned tasks, but the Jade Dragon Sect still owes me one White Dragon Jade and two Azure Dragon Jades.
How does the Jade Dragon Sect explain this matter?
"If the sect refuses, then it means they don't recognize me as a disciple who once served the Jade Dragon Sect. Why force me to return?"
Huh? Is that so?
Upon hearing that there were new melons, everyone perked up again.
As a result, under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators, Vice Sect Master Yan was once again in a predicament.
At this moment,
A beam of light, at the mid-stage of Core Formation, appeared, its magical power second only to the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the air.
The newcomer was none other than the sect master of the Jade Dragon Sect, the mid-stage Core Formation True Person, Long Xiang.
"Xu Jiu, as a disciple of my Jade Dragon Sect, this is a fact that cannot be changed lightly."
Don't take what Vice Sect Leader Yan said to heart.
The promised White Dragon Jade is being prepared for you. It will be distributed once all accounts in the secret realm are settled.
However, the most important thing right now is to eliminate the demonic seed.
The white-robed Master Long Xiang paused, looked around, and said:
"Everyone, I didn't speak earlier because I thought Xu Jiu was just a minor cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if I missed a thing or two."
But since he has already reached the third level of body refinement, he cannot be ignored.
It's important to understand that the higher one's cultivation level, the more severe the consequences would be if a demon were to seize one's body.
Therefore, both for public and private reasons, my Jade Dragon Sect will investigate this matter thoroughly.
Xu Jiu, you must understand the greater good. We are also responsible for you. Do not betray the good intentions of our sect.
If the inspection is correct, I, the sect master, will grant you a first-class guest elder position to manage and teach the sect's warriors, allow you to attend the sect's elder council meetings, and provide you with an annual resource offering of 10,000 spirit stones.
If no one has any objections, the examination of Xu Jiu's soul will be conducted personally by this sect master.
