"Snap!"

When the Guanyuan acupoint ruptured like a seed, Jiang Yuan's body was like a turbulent ocean, completely unable to control the rampaging self-healing factors.

At the critical moment, he swallowed a Great Rejuvenation Pill, using the tiny bit of divine energy he had generated to separate life attributes, and then that minuscule life attribute drilled into the crack in the Guanyuan acupoint.

In that instant, the world around Jiang Yuan fell silent, as if all sound had subsided. Then, the heavenly sound of a seed bursting open and sprouting a tender shoot resounded at the Guanyuan acupoint.

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was at this moment that the bottleneck that had been stuck in his neck loosened. It loosened so naturally, as if water had flowed into a channel without any obstruction.

Five Elements Demigod Body: Demigod Transformation Progress Value — /.

His physical body has recovered to its peak, and is even stronger. The feedback from the Five Elements Demigod Body directly enabled him to break through in one fell swoop, and his ancient martial arts power is comparable to the peak of the ninth level.

That wasn't all. The bronze gate also began to glow, and he had absorbed over a hundred units of dragon energy, which meant he could now enter the bronze gate.

Double happiness!

"That feels good!"

Jiang Yuan let out a comfortable shout, and as he broke through, the Gravity Bead, having been overworked, finally died with a snap and went to the west.

"A handsome man is always blessed by heaven! The powerful man is back!" Jiang Yuan wanted to shout to the sky, but he was too weak to do so. He had been completely drained all day.

As for breaking through the sub-god level power of the mountain lord, his current strength is far from enough. Unless his physical strength increases tenfold, he will be able to break the restriction of divine power before reaching the Void Spirit Realm.

"Let's see if we can get through this bronze door!"

Jiang Yuan braced himself against the bronze door with one hand and then pushed hard.

"..."

It didn't budge an inch!

"Wow, this doesn't make sense!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.

According to the shrewd and experienced Dianling, isn't it possible to enter the Death Source by simply absorbing some dragon energy? Why is this Death Source so stubborn and refuses to let us in?

"What's so unscientific about it? It's enough to keep you up all day long without eating or sleeping!"

A slightly teasing voice came from not far away. Jiang Yuan turned around and saw Ning Yanlan strolling leisurely towards him.

"Yanlan, what brings you here?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me? You've been staying here for over ten hours. If I didn't know about your secret base, I would have thought you went out for a secret rendezvous!" Ning Yanlan teased.

"Are you kidding? Would a secret rendezvous with cultivation be fun?" Jiang Yuan said, relaxing his brows. He added, "Besides, don't you know whether I have a secret rendezvous or not?"

"Where's Liu Zhaodi? She didn't bother you after we left!" Ning Yanlan asked deliberately.

"I got annoyed, but after a while I got bored and left!" Jiang Yuan omitted a part of the sentence because those words would only increase the conflict between the two.

"Oh, so what are you thinking about here?" Ning Yanlan stood on tiptoe and looked around mischievously.

Jiang Yuan shrugged and curled his lip, saying, "It's all because of this dead source. I can't get in, and the spirit of the palace has to go out for some business. Now I don't know what to do!"

"I see!" Ning Yanlan nodded casually, then suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, the Northern City Alliance heard that you woke up, so they sent some people over to see you. Would you like to go up and meet them?"

"From the Northern City Alliance!" Jiang Yuan's expression darkened slightly as he asked again, "Who came?"

"Shangguan Ya, and a few people from the Zodiac Squad, right? Oh, and Professor Yang is among them. He heard we're working on energy weapons, so he wanted to come and see!" Ning Yanlan said in detail.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the bronze door, sighed, and then said, "Then I'll go up and see them first, and return this ring to the elder while I'm at it!"

Yu Tu had previously left behind a thumb ring, claiming it was a gift from the elder, but he had never opened it, feeling there was no need to take it.

"Alright, I'll wander around here. I want to see what secrets this place holds that could keep you here for over ten hours!" Ning Yanlan strolled leisurely through the underground palace, as if she wanted to find out what secrets it held.

Jiang Yuan had a sudden inspiration and said, "Yanlan, you can try absorbing the dragon energy of the bronze gate and see if the bronze gate will undergo any other changes!"

Since the spirit of the palace said that the source of death can be entered, then perhaps he is just an exception, and maybe Ning Yanlan can too.

"Alright, go take care of your business. I'll study this here slowly!" Ning Yanlan smiled playfully, then turned and walked towards the bronze door.

Jiang Yuan left in a hurry without thinking much about it, but once he got there, his expression turned helpless. He knew very well who from the Northern City Alliance had come.

"Everyone, what brings you here to sit at my Oath today!"

What must be faced must be faced. Jiang Yuan walked into the hall with a calm expression. There were four people standing in the hall: Shangguan Ya, Tianlong, Yutu, and Yang Zhehan.

"Apostle, how is your injury recovery?" Shangguan Ya asked in a very official tone.

"Injured?" Jiang Yuan showed a hint of surprise, then smiled nonchalantly at Yu Tu and said, "Am I injured? I just took a nap, right, Major An!"

"It seems you've recovered quite well, you can even joke around now!" Shangguan Ya didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yuan; he was too roguish and not the refined type she preferred.

"You didn't come here today just to offer your condolences, did you?" Jiang Yuan crossed his arms and looked at their empty hands, jokingly saying, "You didn't even bring any gifts for your condolences? That's a bit stingy!"

"To be honest, we do have another important matter to ask of you today!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shangguan Ya's face.

Jiang Yuan found a chair and sat down, then said casually, "Why are you all standing? Are you worried I won't have a chair to keep my vow?"

Upon hearing this, the group found seats and sat down.

"Let's get straight to the point!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, sitting there.

Shangguan Ya nodded, then said, "I want to buy the Fountain of Life from you!"

"For the Alliance Elder?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. He had just sold Yang Feng a bottle of Fountain of Life yesterday, but he hadn't expected that amount to be insufficient.

"I need this number!"

Shangguan Ya didn't say who it was for, but instead held up one finger.

"How much is this? One pound? Or a hundred pounds?" Jiang Yuan asked, frowning as he guessed.

"One ton!" Shangguan Ya said calmly, uttering a quantity that shocked everyone.

"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Yuan was also taken aback. He denied it outright, "Do you think I can produce that much? A ton? Do you think this is tap water, where you can just get a ton for a few dollars!"

"Don't worry, we can give you a price that satisfies you!" Shangguan Ya was very calm, as if she had great confidence in the capabilities of the Beicheng Alliance.

"You can't afford it!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head. What was the Fountain of Life? It was a divine-level and legendary treasure, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could bring the dead back to life.

"Really? What if it's a Divine Bloodstone? And a Divine Bloodstone with demonic runes at that!"
