Upon waking up, Lu Xuan found himself a low-level loose cultivator in the Red Leaf Valley Market.
The original owner had a废灵根 (waste spiritual root) in the five elements, stuck at the f...
"The Heavenly Net Beast, the Heavenly Net Blade?"
"Are you Yuan Ming, one of the true disciples of the Beast Taming Sect?" Gu Meng asked.
“That’s right.” Yuan Ming, dressed in a black and green Taoist robe, didn’t say much. He directly summoned the high-grade magic weapon Tianluo Blade and the late-stage Qi Refining spirit beast Tianluo Beast and attacked Gu Meng.
This is Yuan Ming.
Lu Xuan had also heard about it.
It is said that the Heavenly Net Blade in Yuan Ming's hand was forged from the horn of his Heavenly Net Beast, and its power is extremely strong.
Gu Meng and Yuan Ming should be roughly equal in strength, but the latter has the help of the Tianluo Beast, a spirit beast at the late stage of Qi Refining.
Gu Meng is probably no match for him.
With that thought in mind, Lu Xuan left the place immediately.
The three inner disciples of the Beast Taming Sect seized the opportunity to pursue them.
"Your flying sword is quite a nice magical artifact. Would you mind keeping it for us?"
"If you want it, come and take it yourself. Don't talk big. Do you even have the ability?" Lu Xuan coldly left behind these words.
Then he quickly picked five purple mist fruits from the side and flew out of the small canyon.
Gu Meng of Tianhai Sect and Yuan Ming of Beast Taming Sect, who were fighting at the time, were extremely anxious upon seeing this.
These purple mist fruits are extremely hard to find. Having finally found a few, I couldn't bear to let them slip away.
However, when they clashed, it was difficult to determine a clear winner for a time.
They could only watch helplessly as Lu Xuan left with the Purple Mist Fruit.
...
One hour later.
Lu Xuan had already landed in the heart of Purple Mist Valley.
The three disciples of the Beast Taming Sect also caught up.
This was also Lu Xuan's deliberate provocation that caused them to chase after him.
This way, we can avoid Yuan Ming and also deal with these three persistent Beast Taming Sect disciples.
Without saying anything, Lu Xuan summoned his flying sword, along with hundreds of black demonic insects and the high-grade magic artifact Soul Devouring Banner, and flew towards the three disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
This is also a benefit that Lu Xuan gained after his divine soul power greatly increased.
It is possible to summon three magical artifacts at the same time.
In the past, Lu Xuan could only summon one or two magical artifacts at a time, which was still very strenuous.
Now, Lu Xuan can activate three magical artifacts at the same time with relative ease.
The gourd-shaped magical artifact controls the black demon worms.
Including the flying sword and the Soul-Devouring Banner, there are a total of three magical artifacts.
First, the disciple of the Beast Taming Sect with the lowest cultivation level was devoured by Lu Xuan's hundreds of black demonic insects, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his cultivation.
Upon seeing this, the remaining two immediately considered retreating.
"Fellow Daoist of Tianhai Sect, we were blind to your greatness. How about we stop and make peace?" the two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect pleaded, yielding.
"Why should I? I just gave you my life and magic weapon. Do you think I can let you go just because of a few words? Do you think that's possible? What a joke!" Lu Xuan said calmly, then activated his flying sword and Soul Devouring Banner with all his might, and quickly dealt with the remaining two Beast Taming Sect disciples.
He picked up three storage bags and left without looking back.
Three days later.
In another small canyon.
After killing several late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts, Lu Xuan found several more ripe Purple Mist Fruits.
In the past three days, including the dozen or so Purple Mist Fruits he had found before, Lu Xuan has now found fifteen Purple Mist Fruits!
The trial is now over, and we need to go to the Purple Mist Valley teleportation point to exit the valley.
Then, the ranking will be based on the number of Purple Mist Fruits obtained, and the top ten will receive a top-grade magic weapon from the sect.
Lu Xuan expressed his anticipation for this!
Unexpectedly, just as Lu Xuan approached the teleportation entrance, he discovered that it was guarded by several powerful disciples of the Beast Taming Sect at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Whenever disciples from the nine major sects arrive at the teleportation point, these few overlord-level disciples from the Beast Taming Sect will plunder all the Purple Mist Fruits from their storage bags! As for other magical artifacts and spirit stones, they won't take a single penny.
Perhaps they were afraid of completely offending the nine major sects!
Lu Xuan doesn't plan to go there for the time being.
There are still a few hours before the portal closes.
He decided to go at the last minute.
All that could be heard was a discussion among the several overlord-level disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. Lu Xuan's divine soul power was so strong that he could hear them even from hundreds of feet away. He heard them saying to each other:
"Senior Brother Chu, it seems our Beast Taming Sect will get the most spots in the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm this time! We've already obtained no less than a hundred Purple Mist Fruits while guarding here, haven't we? Let's divide them among ourselves after we get out! We can all make it into the top ten!"
"Yes, that's right. No rush, let's wait a bit longer. There are still a few disciples from the nine major sects who haven't come out yet. We need to seize all the Purple Mist Fruits and get the most spots! This is the opportunity for our Beast Taming Sect to rise!"
"Alright, we'll listen to Senior Brother Chu. The future of our Beast Taming Sect is in our hands!"
...
Several hours later.
The disciples of the nine major sects have almost all been teleported out one after another.
Without exception, their Purple Mist Fruits were all taken away by these disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
Only a small number of powerful disciples managed to teleport away during the earlier chaos!
Lu Xuan saw that Senior Brother Gu Meng was one of the cultivators who had taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
The Purple Mist Fruits of most of the other disciples were taken away by the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect.
Because the disciples of the nine major sects were mostly at odds and did not cooperate to deal with the few Qi Refining Level 12 cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect.
Because these disciples of the Beast Taming Sect also have the help of late-stage Qi Refining spirit beasts, their strength is extremely formidable.
Soon, time was up!
In just over ten breaths, the teleportation array will close, and then it will be very difficult to leave Purple Mist Valley.
Lu Xuan discovered that there were more than a dozen other cultivators like him lying in wait, hoping to seize the last opportunity to teleport away in the chaos.
It seems that quite a few people share his thoughts.
