Chapter 377: Immortal Dao Breaks the Five Realms

The Lu Clan Group's side, Lu Xun didn't overthink things.

Everything could be left to Xie Yuyan and Bai Ling.

"I don't know if Lan Xing's acceleration like this can catch up to Barbara's Spirit Star."

In the room, Lu Xun held Xiao Bai while thinking.

Barbara hasn't awakened for a long time.

This made Lu Xun inevitably a bit worried.

Lan Xing's sudden acceleration shows something major must have happened; if it keeps getting faster, catching up to Barbara's Spirit Star really is possible.

But even if we could catch up, it would still be decades away.

I don't know if Barbara can hold out until then.

Currently, Lu Xun can't do much.

Unless we can find the Star Gate and check the situation first.

Using the Star Gate once requires ten thousand cubic Dark Energy; to chase Barbara's Spirit Star and return would need hundreds of thousands of cubic Dark Energy.

Where would Lu Xun get that much Dark Energy?

"What if we deal with the witch?"

Lu Xun thought of another method.

Can't solve the problem.

Then solve the person causing the problem.

The witch's power is extremely terrifying, not like Eighth Realm; to Lu Xun it feels more like Ninth Realm.

Lu Xun himself definitely can't handle it.

Then we can only seek external help.

So far, Lu Xun has only encountered two Ninth Realm beings.

Fu Xue's father, and the Martial Manor Master who just visited.

If Lu Xun steps forward, the two girls' fathers might not act, after all it's still the past life's dominance, he's about to undergo tribulation, and likely doesn't want extra trouble.

Lu Xun also can't be sure about the Martial Manor Master.

Although he appreciates Lu Xun, this involves a Western Ninth Realm, still a quite troublesome Ninth Realm.

Unless Lu Xun displays his true heaven-defying ability.

But that would be too risky.

From the current situation, Lan Xing probably has no Tenth Realm.

That makes sense.

Which Tenth Realm doesn't need thousands or tens of thousands of years of growth?

Even if Lan Xing advanced a dimension and sped up the growth of its powerhouses, it's still hard to birth a Tenth Realm in just over a hundred years.

Just the tribulation stage alone—no one knows how many would find it difficult.

If Lu Xun truly displayed his true heaven-defying ability, and accidentally awakened a bunch of sleeping Tenth Realm old monsters, that would be a calamity.

"In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Lu Xun sighed.

Barbara's side, only he can resolve it himself.

First, stabilize.

Barbara should be able to hold on for a while longer.

"Ah, boss, long time no see."

Lu Xun came again to Bai Ling's alchemy room, personally teaching Bai Ling for several days.

He not only taught Bai Ling how to refine Saint-grade Longevity Pills, but also further improved Bai Ling's alchemy proficiency.

His alchemy proficiency is still insufficient.

If he could refine Seventh-grade Saint-rank pills, the help to Fu Xue and Xue would be greater, and the two girls' growth speed would likewise increase.

In the coming time, Lu Xun will either stay with Bai Ling or accompany Ran Bing.

Occasionally, Lu Xun will also give lectures to the Lu Clan Group's alchemists, offering pointers.

He also used his alchemy proficiency to design a standardized alchemy process.

Such an alchemy process isn't rare; every alchemy group has one.

But Lu Xun's is special, because it's tailored to each alchemist individually.

Some alchemists were moved to tears, making the Lu Clan Group's members die-hard loyal.

Hmm, recently the Jia Clan Group wants to poach the Lu Clan Group's alchemists at high price.

They haven't blocked the alchemy materials, so they thought of other shady tricks.

Most of the Lu Clan Group's alchemists spend their time refining pills; the Jia Clan Group can't contact them.

However, these alchemists have families.

The Jia Clan Group thus targeted their families and successfully poached a few alchemists.

For this, Lu Xun doesn't feel regret.

Those who can be poached—let them go; keeping them is pointless.

The truly capable ones wouldn't leave.

Just watching Bai Ling refine Saint-grade pills once a month makes some ambitious alchemists unwilling to choose the Jia Clan Group.

"Has the Golden Toad not been repaired yet?"

Lu Xun thought of the Golden Toad.

On Master Danyang's side, the time to repair the Golden Toad was longer than expected.

It has been under repair for almost a year, yet it's still not fixed.

It seems they encountered some problem.

So Lu Xun did not go to urge them.

Just wait for Master Danyang's notification.

"The tide is rising, the tide is rising~"

"Good heavens, the tide actually rose—could Lan Xing be entering the Ancient Road Node again?"

"No way, it's only been two years—how could it happen so fast?"

One month later.

A piece of news exploded across all of Lan Xing.

Lan Xing, the tide rose again.

People discussed endlessly, speculation never ceased.

Until the officials of various countries issued a formal notice, confirming the news that Lan Xing would enter the Ancient Road Node again within a year, and had everyone make preparations.

"Whoa, this is real!"

"It's been over a hundred years; this is the first time it's come early—looks like something's up."

As soon as the news came out, it sparked global heated discussion.

When things go against the norm, they become ominous.

In the span of over a hundred years, nearly two hundred years, this is the first time Lan Xing has entered the Ancient Road Node ahead of schedule.

Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted countless speculations.

"Boss, this is a good thing—our elixirs are now in short supply at the start!"

Xie Yuyan happily reported to Lu Xun.

Every time Lan Xing enters the Ancient Road Node, the year beforehand is when elixir sales are at their peak.

The Lu Clan Group's elixirs have started a new round of best-selling.

Although sales were good before, it was impossible to sell out every day.

Nowadays, almost every day they sell out completely.

Lan Xing entering the Ancient Road Node so quickly, many cultivators who gained harvests in the Ancient Road Node still haven't digested the Dark Energy in their hands.

Naturally, they are willing to take it out to buy elixirs to boost their strength faster, then go to the Ancient Road Node to reap greater gains.

"Miss, truly even Heaven is helping us; if not for this turning point, we couldn't have held on!"

On the Jia Clan Group's side, they likewise let out a big sigh of relief.

Their blockade on elixir materials is still ongoing.

However, the Lu Clan Group has caused their elixir sales to plummet.

The elixir materials they stockpiled are basically impossible to use up.

Financial pressure is growing ever greater.

It's been blocked for over a year—buying more, selling less—how could the pressure not be great?

With the Jia Clan Group's financial strength, they could bear it, but a piece of news half a month ago made their senior leadership feel desperate.

The Lu Clan Group, surprisingly, can purchase elixir materials worth five thousand cubic units of Dark Energy each year from the official Spiritual Herb Cultivation Garden.

Five thousand cubic units of Dark Energy worth of elixir materials can be refined into elixirs worth tens of thousands of cubic units or even more.

How the heck can they still blockade it?

With the Lu Clan Group having ample raw materials, the Jia Clan Group's days have become even harder.

Fortunately, the situation has taken a turn for the better.

Lan Xing's early entry into the Ancient Road Node has also improved the Jia Clan Group's elixir sales.

Their financial pressure can now be eased.

"Could it be him?"

Jia Yuxi, however, turned her attention to another matter.

She obtained some information from the few elixir masters she had hired at high cost.

This gave Jia Yuxi a vague feeling.

Lu Xun might be a more skilled elixir master.

Currently, there are two kinds of Saint-grade elixirs that have appeared.

One kind has three layers of elixir pattern, the other only a single layer.

Jia Yuxi confirmed through multiple channels that what White Spirit refined is a single-layer elixir pattern.

Then, what about the one with three-layer elixir pattern?

Based on the descriptions of those few elixir masters, Jia Yuxi feels that the Saint-grade elixir master capable of refining three-layer elixir patterns could possibly be Lu Xun.

This Jia Yuxi cannot accept at all.

Even if Lu Xun's cultivation level is terrifying enough, his elixir-making prowess is also astonishing.

「Could he really be the reincarnation of an immortal? 」

Whenever Jia Yumei thought of this, a sense of despair welled up from deep within her heart.

Heavens!

Her opponent, what kind of monster is he!

Besides despair, her stomach also began to ache faintly.

It seemed that whenever she thought of Lu Xun, her aunt felt restless.

【Chu Youqing broke through the fifth level of the fourth realm, you obtained sixty times what Chu Youqing obtained.】

【Bai Ling broke through the sixth level of the third realm, you obtained sixty times what Bai Ling harvested.】

【Ran Bing broke through the fifth level of the fourth realm, you obtained sixty times what Ran Bing harvested.】

Just a few days after Lan Xing's tide, Chu Youqing, Bai Ling, and Ran Bing successively broke through.

Chu Youqing's cultivation had reached the fifth level of the fourth realm.

Ran Bing was also at the fifth level of the fourth realm.

She is two years older than Chu Youqing, but Ran Bing has been delayed by Gu Yao over the past two years, basically having not much time to cultivate.

This breakthrough, actually, was not her cultivating, but a natural breakthrough.

Also just after Ran Bing's return.

Lu Xun's Immortal Dao cultivation finally reached the limit of the fourth realm, the returning heat flow surged into his body, beginning to let him break through to the fifth realm.

"I'm about to break through!"

As soon as he felt the breakthrough, Lu Xun flew out of the Lu Clan Building and flew into the sky.

Breaking through to the fifth realm in Immortal Dao, however, there is a heavenly tribulation.

This heavenly tribulation is not the same as the tribulation faced during tribulation crossing.

This heavenly tribulation mainly consists of trials and tempering, and is not meant to take your life.

If seized well, Immortal Cultivation can, under the heavenly tribulation, gain a decent harvest, further refining one's power.
