Ruan Xiyan repeatedly drained her spiritual energy to fight Dou Yong head-on.
Whenever her spiritual energy was drained, Ruan Xiyan would frantically absorb the abundant spiritual energy around her.
It must be said that the spiritual energy in the cultivation continent is much richer than that in the secular continent.
The spiritual energy I inhale anywhere is comparable to the spiritual energy contained on the Heavenly Steps of the Ice Feather Palace.
No wonder so many people abandon the comforts of the secular world and, disregarding the dangers, choose to come to the cultivation world to seek their fortune.
When Ruan Xiyan once again exhausted the spiritual energy in her body, a powerful force emerged from within her.
At the same time, the consumed spiritual energy instantly filled his entire body.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes lit up; she had broken through!
Dou Yong's expression froze instantly as he stared at Ruan Xiyan in disbelief. "First level of the Transcendent Realm! You actually broke through at this moment."
Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you. To thank you, I'll send you to hell."
"So what if you've broken through to the Transcendent Realm? I've been stuck at the first level of the Transcendent Realm for so long, how could I possibly lose to a junior who has just entered the Transcendent Realm?"
"You're not very bright, and you've been stuck in the Transcendent Realm for so long, and you're quite proud of it?" Ruan Xiyan said with a mocking smile.
"You sharp-tongued brat! You're asking for it!" Enraged, Dou Yong launched a frenzied attack on Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan waved her hand to block his attack, and the Frostfall Sword appeared in her hand.
In order to unleash her full potential, she didn't use the Frostfall Sword in close combat. Now that she has broken through, it's time to end this!
Ruan Xiyan's power converged in the Frostfall Sword.
A massive sword shadow, formed from extremely powerful sword intent, appeared above her head.
One sword strike decides life and death!
Seeing the power emanating from the sword's shadow, Dou Yong felt a little hesitant.
What terrifying power! Is this really the power that someone who has just broken through to the transcendent realm can unleash?
However, having come this far, he had no way to retreat.
Dou Yong mobilized the remaining power within his body and attacked Ruan Xiyan with all his might.
Ruan Xiyan pointed in Dou Yong's direction and said softly, "Go."
The enormous sword shadow in the sky slashed down towards Dou Yong.
The shockwaves from the collision of the two forces forced Lu Ji and his companions back several steps.
Dou Yong's face contorted as he desperately tried to resist.
But faced with the power of the giant sword shadow, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
"Snap!"
The power he had gathered was shattered before his very eyes.
The sword shadow did not pause; its violent power continued to assault him.
"No--"
Amidst a deafening scream, Dou Yong was crushed to ashes by the overwhelming force.
Dou Chang was killed by the aftershocks of the attack.
Ruan Xiyan calmly sheathed her longsword.
Lu Ji was so shocked by Ruan Xiyan's appearance that his jaw almost dropped.
The sect leader easily dealt with the extraordinary expert.
He suddenly realized that choosing to follow the sect leader was a very wise decision; otherwise, where else could he find such a powerful backer?
With a wise, powerful, and mighty sect leader, there's no need to worry about the Illusionary Hidden Sect's name resounding throughout the entire cultivation continent in the future.
When Ruan Xiyan walked up to Lu Ji, he was still lost in thought.
Ruan Xiyan waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Snap out of it, what's going on, who's causing trouble?"
"Sect Master, this is a long story, involving old grudges and grievances. Dou Chang and I became brothers when we were traveling around."
“We hit it off immediately and traveled together. I thought I had met a kindred spirit, but the human heart is the most vulnerable thing.”
"We encountered a treasure guarded by a powerful magical beast in a dangerous place. He betrayed me, pushing me from behind into the beast, while he himself escaped with the treasure."
"I survived a near-death experience from a dangerous place, but this indelible scar remains on my face."
"Later, I established a sect, and that guy came to the sect many times to cause trouble, trying to make me forget the past and hand over the sect to him."
"Of course I disagree. Our strengths are evenly matched, and neither of us can defeat the other."
"However, because he frequently brought people to cause trouble, many disciples in the sect chose to leave because of his actions."
"Even as the sect declines, he still doesn't give up and comes every few days. I didn't expect him to bring a Transcendent Realm expert this time."
"What kind of twisted mentality does this person have, deliberately trying to disgust people?" Ruan Xiyan exclaimed. "The world is truly a vast place, and there are all sorts of strange things here!"
"Sect Master, we are so grateful to have you here this time, otherwise my brothers and I would have all perished here." Lu Ji looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Thank you, Sect Master."
“Since you have chosen to stay in the Illusionary Concealment Sect, we are all in the same boat. Naturally, I will not stand by and watch you get into trouble.”
"Now that the troubles have been resolved, you can focus on the development of the sect."
"Yes, I will certainly not let the sect leader down," Lu Ji said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Sit down first, relax. I have some questions for you." Ruan Xiyan sat down on the stone chair next to her.
"What does the sect leader want to know?"
"Are there any places nearby that sell pills?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
"Sect Master wants to buy pills," Lu Ji asked doubtfully. "The closest city to our sect is Huaiyang City, where there should be pill shops."
"A medicine shop?" Ruan Xiyan asked in surprise.
The cultivation continent actually has shops that specialize in selling elixirs, something that would be impossible in the secular world.
After all, alchemists are rare, and given the preciousness of pills, no one would be willing to sell them.
"Yes, the pill shops only sell simple first and second-grade pills, but even so, they are quite expensive."
"If you want to buy high-grade pills, you can't buy them at ordinary pill shops. One way is to find an alchemist to refine them yourself."
"Another option is to participate in auctions, where rare and precious high-grade pills are sometimes sold."
"I'm not buying pills, I'm selling them. Where would be a suitable place to go?" Ruan Xiyan asked Lu Ji.
"Selling pills! Is the sect leader perhaps an alchemist?!" Lu Ji exclaimed in shock.
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
Lu Ji quickly processed this astonishing news and continued.
"If the sect leader wants to sell pills, the best place is the auction. Pills fetch high prices at auctions, making it the most suitable place."
"I also heard that Huaiyang City will be holding an auction in a few days, where the sect leader can take the pills to sell."
A thoughtful look flashed across Ruan Xiyan's eyes; it seemed she would have to make a trip to Huaiyang City.
"Is the sect leader going to Huaiyang City to attend the auction?"
"Yes, I will entrust the Illusionary Concealment Sect to you while I am away."
Ruan Xiyan got up and left. Then, as if remembering something, she took out a bottle of pills from her spatial storage and placed it on the table. "The pills in this bottle can completely heal the scars on your face."
