Li Tingting and Chu Tianyao focused their attention on digesting the essence of the Heaven-Shaking Fist...
"What an overbearing fist technique... Unlike the spear technique of the Overlord's Horizontal Barrier, the Heaven-Shaking Fist is full of fierce and unstoppable fist intent, as if it wants to contend with the heavens!"
"However... this set of boxing techniques is fierce and domineering, extremely powerful in attack... but somewhat lacking in defense."
Chu Tianyao looked at the plum-shaped armor that had appeared in his hand. "Fortunately, the system also gifted me a defensive magic weapon for the Golden Core Realm this time: the plum-shaped armor!"
This defensive magic weapon for the Golden Core realm is called Plum Armor. It exudes a faint plum fragrance, reminiscent of the fresh and elegant scent of green plums hanging on branches in early summer.
Its appearance resembles a dazzling suit of armor, yet it is also gentle and delicate.
The armor is covered with delicate plum-shaped patterns, which shimmer with a metallic luster under the light, while also subtly revealing a warm and jade-like texture.
Each piece of armor plate seems to contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; a gentle touch seems to reveal a soft yet powerful energy fluctuation.
When the Plum Armor is activated, a faint plum-colored halo will appear on its surface, enveloping the wearer as if it were a tangible substance.
Protected by this halo, even attacks from Golden Core Realm experts can be largely neutralized!
"Finally, breaking through to a higher realm, the system gifted me 500,000 crystals... Heh, I have to spend those crystals wisely!"
"Continue to procure magical artifacts and elixirs... and obtain Dao Derivation Points through system recycling!"
And so, Chu Tianyao embarked on another shopping spree...
About a quarter of an hour later...
Chu Tianyao spent all 500,000 crystal tickets.
In total, I obtained sixty Foundation Establishment Pills and six Foundation Establishment Magic Weapons!
Chu Tianyao summoned the system.
"System, retrieve all sixty Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation pills and six Foundation Establishment Realm magic weapons."
"Boom! Cultivation pills and magic artifacts are being collected. Dao Points are being calculated. Please wait..."
"Boom! After confirmation... Dao Derivation Points have been recovered."
"Boom! We currently have enough Dao Derivation Points to advance our cultivation level. These points will automatically convert into cultivation realm points..."
"Current realm is Golden Core Realm Level 4! (Each Golden Core Realm advancement requires one Dao Derivation Point.) Remaining Dao Derivation Points: 670."
In that instant, Chu Tianyao's aura surged once again!
The fourth level of the Golden Core Realm—this is truly the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm!
Chu Tianyao exhaled a breath of turbid air and said softly, "Awesome! This continuous breakthrough and constant improvement in strength gives me a feeling of being invincible."
"Judging by the time, Qi Mengdie's master should be arriving soon."
"Qi Mengdie's master is definitely a Golden Core Realm expert, but it's still uncertain which level of the Golden Core Realm he is..."
"I am currently at the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm... With the support of the Yin-Yang Chaos Body and magical treasures and supernatural powers such as the Plum Armor and the Heaven-Shaking Fist, I should be no weaker than a sixth-level Golden Core Realm expert."
"The problem is that some members of the Yan Yang Sect like to carry a Yan Yang Talisman... If a Golden Core Realm expert happens to carry a protective talisman with the killing power of a Nascent Soul Realm expert, that would be troublesome."
After pondering for a moment, Chu Tianyao decided to use the Concealing Realm Pearl to hide his strength at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Then he sped off towards the outskirts...
"Before the situation becomes clear, it's always right to play dumb to outsmart others."
Chu Tianyao returned to the place where Qi Mengdie was kept...
More than two hours had passed between the two trips.
Judging by the time, Qi Mengdie's master will be arriving soon.
Qi Mengdie had completely regained her composure, and she looked at Chu Tianyao with some surprise.
"That villain... he's actually broken through another realm! He's actually reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage..."
"This is unbelievable... We only fought for three hours... and his cultivation level has actually soared from the sixth level of Foundation Establishment to the eighth level!"
"Then, he broke through from the eighth level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level... This person must have had extraordinary talent or some remarkable fortuitous encounter..."
"But so what? Without reaching the Golden Core Realm, one is ultimately just an ant in front of Master!"
Qi Mengdie thought fiercely, "Since he didn't kill me, I won't provoke him. When Master arrives, I'll ask him to cripple his cultivation, and then I'll have him torn to pieces!"
Chu Tianyao ignored Qi Mengdie and tried his best to calm himself down... to face the formidable enemy that was about to arrive.
A few more moments passed...
A slender, white-haired female cultivator arrived here with lightning speed!
"Master!" Qi Mengdie's eyes reddened when she saw Li Tingting arrive, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In Qi Mengdie's view, as long as Li Tingting arrived, the overall situation was already settled.
Seeing her beloved disciple being humiliated, Li Tingting felt a pang of sadness and slowly said, "Mengdie... your teacher is here. Everything is alright now."
Li Tingting looked coldly at Chu Tianyao, "Not only did you hurt my disciple, but you also dared to humiliate her!"
"This is a capital offense! Now kneel down... crawl over here, and kowtow with each step! I might spare your life!"
Chu Tianyao looked at Li Tingting with a puzzled expression.
"This person's aura should only be at the first level of the Golden Core Realm... yet he speaks so arrogantly, as if he were an Immortal Emperor..."
"I'll observe her a bit more and see if she has any trump cards up her sleeve..."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao said in a deep voice, "You are Qi Mengdie's master?"
“Your apprentice tried to kill me, but I defeated her... I spared her life and haven’t used her to coerce you.”
