Among these nineteen independent cultivators, even the weakest one was at a higher realm than Li Xiuchen. They gathered together and, without a word, immediately drew their sharp knives and swords to finish Li Xiuchen off. However, at this moment, Li Xiuchen, with rare wit, took out his token.
"I...I am an inner disciple of Mount Taihua!"
Everyone was shocked.
Luo Jianqing, who had guessed this result a long time ago, sighed.
The nineteen wandering cultivators glanced at each other. The leading cultivator, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, chuckled and said to his companions, "This kid is truly ungrateful. If a senior hadn't just passed by, he would have snatched the food from our mouths. Second brother, did you hear what he said just now?"
The cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm shook his head and said with a simple smile, "Brother, I didn't hear that."
The cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core asked again, "Other brothers, did you hear that?"
Everyone shook their heads: "No."
Li Xiuchen was stunned. He kept shouting, "I am an inner disciple of Mount Taihua," as he was assaulted by these nineteen men. Although they called it a beating, the group didn't actually resort to any killing moves; they simply beat Li Xiuchen as hard as they could. Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, Li Xiuchen took out a precious white jade token and fled dozens of miles away.
The man disappeared in an instant, and the nineteen monks had no choice but to divide the treasures on the Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix.
Luo Jianqing was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Li Xiuchen to use the White Jade Token he'd obtained from the Beidou Zhenjun ruins in such a situation. What a waste! These cultivators knew he was from Taihua Mountain and had long since stopped trying to kill him. They just wanted to beat him up to vent their anger. Was Li Xiuchen really that cowardly?
Without further ado, Luo Jianqing immediately chased after him. After chasing for dozens of miles, he finally caught up with Li Xiuchen.
At this moment, Li Xiuchen was lying in a hidden cave to rest. While resting, he was cursing Luo Jianqing - the mysterious Nascent Soul senior, and he wished he could skin and bone him.
Luo Jianqing listened for a while, then laughed softly and flew away.
When he returned, he brought back an enraged fourth-level monster. Li Xiuchen's face paled as he saw the monster, and he quickly fled, his injured body in hand. Having finally escaped, Li Xiuchen had just sat down to rest when another fourth-level monster appeared!
"Why the hell am I so unlucky lately!!!"
Li Xiuchen kept running away while cursing the sky.
Under the control of the demonic beasts guided by Luo Jianqing, Li Xiuchen was forced to flee deeper into the Myriad Beasts Ridge. Over three days, he climbed two mountains, taking elixirs to regain his strength while fleeing. Once Li Xiuchen reached the inner reaches of the Myriad Beasts Ridge, the demonic beasts that had inexplicably pursued him finally vanished.
Along the way, Li Xiuchen had wondered whether these monsters were controlled by someone.
However, he was just a newcomer to Myriad Beasts Ridge, and he hadn't offended anyone, save for the Nascent Soul cultivator who'd said, "I'm not happy with you." But why would a Nascent Soul cultivator tease a Qi Condensation cultivator like that? It was truly outrageous.
Li Xiuchen was puzzled.
At this time, Luo Jianqing stopped teasing Li Xiuchen.
The book "Seeking Immortality" doesn't clearly mark Li Xiuchen's route through the Myriad Beasts Ridge, like a map would. It simply states that Li Xiuchen climbed a mountain, but doesn't specify which mountain he climbed, east, west, or north. Therefore, Luo Jianqing could only follow Li Xiuchen and seize the opportunity to act.
During this trip to Wanshou Ridge, Li Xiuchen obtained three treasures that shocked Luo Jianqing.
The first one is the inner elixir of an eighth-level monster.
The second thing is a broken sword of heaven grade.
The third item is a ninth-grade elixir that has transformed into a human form!
Of these, the first two items were still obtainable if Luo Jianqing desired them. But what about the third? No one in the world could refine a ninth-grade elixir. Even the Venerable Yuqingzi could only refine a Heavenly Grade Eighth-grade elixir at best, and he couldn't even successfully refine the worst, Yellow Grade Ninth-grade elixir.
There are nine grades of elixirs, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest.
The quality of elixirs can be divided into four major tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow. The ninth-grade Heavenly Elixir is the stuff of legend. It's said that once such an elixir is unleashed, it will inevitably cause phenomena in heaven and earth, affecting all living things. As soon as it's released, it will instantly transform into a human form and ascend to immortality!
This kind of thing could only exist in ancient legends. This time, Li Xiuchen obtained a ninth-grade Huang-rank elixir. Although it was of the lowest rank, this elixir also transformed into a handsome and elegant Confucian scholar, who sat day and night on a mountaintop deep in the Myriad Beasts Ridge, bowing his head and playing the zither.
As a pill, it has no spiritual power, so even Xuan Lingzi didn't know there was such a ninth-grade divine pill in Wanshou Ridge. However, this doesn't mean that this scholar's pill has no offensive power. It possesses the power of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth in the pill, and can be regarded as the overlord of Wanshou Ridge.
When seeing these scenes, Luo Jianqing couldn't believe how Li Xiuchen could get this magic pill.
The reason was simple: that day, a ninth-rank demon beast, which had coveted the divine elixir for centuries, suddenly attacked and engaged in a battle with the elixir. Even if he transformed into a human, the scholar was still just a pill. Anyone who obtained it, even if they were not demonic cultivators who could absorb human spiritual energy, could still devour it.
That battle was a bloody one.
Li Xiuchen happened to be out searching for healing elixirs for the injured Mu Ruorong when he was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind. When he woke up again, he was at the edge of the battlefield where the ultimate battle was taking place. Li Xiuchen's position was incredibly advantageous. Every living being on the battlefield was decimated by the powerful and indiscriminate attack, yet he somehow managed to escape unscathed.
