Chapter 431

After carefully observing, he couldn't help but say, "The area around this secret realm is the activity range of evil cultivators. It is very likely that we will be attacked by evil cultivators. Is it a bit inappropriate to do this?"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub? It's in the territory of evil cultivators, but I believe they definitely won't take action. Don't talk nonsense. If you can't even beat an evil cultivator at the same level, don't say you are from the Wuqu Academy. Do you hear me?"

The two agreed and followed the map into the secret realm. Just after entering the secret realm, they found that it was a world of ice and snow, without any other creatures. The boundless cold ice almost froze Wan Wan Shitong to death. Fortunately, with the help of the Nine Nether Hell Flame, he could barely resist it.

Just at this moment, a huge ice dragon pounced on them. Its cultivation was at the high-stage of the Demon King, which made the two have to choose to respond cautiously.

"Boss, this should be the legendary Ice Dragon, transformed from the essence blood of the Ice God Divine Dragon. If we can defeat this Ice Dragon, we can obtain the essence blood and help cultivate the Ice God Spear Technique."

Chen Ang considered for a while and said, "Leave this thing to you to solve. It just so happens that the Nine Nether Hell Flame restrains the Ice Dragon. It should be no problem, right?"

"Hehe, Boss, watch me."

After speaking, he summoned the Nine Nether Hell Flame, which turned into more than a dozen chains to control the Ice Dragon. It wanted to struggle to the death, but had no way and couldn't escape at all.

He shouted, "Burn!"

The chains transformed by the Nine Nether Hell Flame began to burn. The Ice Dragon couldn't resist, wailed in pain for a period of time, and with unwillingness and anger, turned into a drop of golden essence blood.

Just as Chen Ang was about to reach out to take it, a fierce attack pounced on him, which was easily blocked. A black-robed person walked out from the dark. His strength was about the same, and he should be at the Spirit God Realm level.

"My name is Xie Dong. I am particularly interested in this kind of Ice God Divine Dragon essence blood. I wonder if the two of you can be lenient and give me some face. Don't worry, the reward will definitely not be small."

"No way. This essence blood was obtained by our two brothers with hard work. Thinking of getting something for nothing like this is indeed a bit inappropriate. We have to pay attention to first come, first served, right?"

"Either hand over the things, or stay in this secret realm forever. I can see that the two of you are very strong, but I have the confidence to kill you without leaving any traces."

"Don't forget that this is the territory of evil cultivators. Two people from the Wuqu Academy are obviously looking for death. Heaven has a road, but you don't take it. Hand over the Ice God Divine Dragon essence blood and I will let you leave."

Wan Wan Shitong was about to take action but was stopped by Chen Ang. He said, "Just now, you shouldn't have much power left in your body after dealing with the Ice Dragon. Just leave this evil cultivator to Boss to handle."

Xie Dong erupted with the cultivation of the Spirit God Realm. Fighting one against two at the same level was no problem at all. If they really fought, he was not afraid at all, but he underestimated the genius in front of him.

Chen Ang used the Ice God Spear Technique to attack constantly. The Po Zhen Qilin Spear had been strengthened by a master craftsman a while ago and was almost like a divine artifact. Plus the help of the god-level technique, he would definitely be able to win.

Xie Dong didn't expect that the Wuqu Academy had such a powerful genius. He had killed quite a few before, and he was indeed a bit careless. But he wouldn't give up so easily.

After taking the pill, his cultivation directly improved to the peak of the Spirit God Realm. He felt absolutely insulted and must kill Chen Ang. This kind of pill would stimulate his own potential and had particularly big side effects, but everything was worth it.

"Today, both of you must die. No one can stop me. Wuqu Academy, leave no one behind!"

The powerful aura made the secret realm begin to collapse. Wan Wan Shitong reminded, "Boss, take the essence blood and retreat. Don't argue with this madman. If the secret realm collapses, we won't be able to get out. Run quickly!"

466: Tenglong Trading Firm

The two left the secret realm with the Ice God Divine Dragon essence blood, but Xie Dong lost his mind because of taking the pill and was buried in the secret realm, with no way to rescue him.

Wan Wan Shitong said luckily, "Boss, fortunately we ran fast just now. Otherwise, we would have died here today. The secret realm is indeed unstable. That Xie Dong is really a madman, actually thinking of perishing together. It's too dangerous. Let's go back first."

Evil King heard the movement and rushed over, saying, "Leave? Killing the people of evil cultivators and wanting to leave safely is not very likely. After so many years of disputes with the Wuqu Academy, it's time to settle it."

Xing Tian came forward to block the Evil King's attack and said, "Evil King, long time no see, still the same old look. Wanting to kill the students of the Wuqu Academy, didn't you see that I am still here?"

"Hmph, Xing Tian, you must give a reasonable explanation for this matter. Xie Dong is a genius of careful cultivation. I have spent a lot of cultivation resources on him over the years, and he was killed just like that. I am particularly unwilling. You must give an explanation. Otherwise, it's hard to let you leave."

"What does it have to do with me? I want to see how the Evil King's cultivation is lately and if there is any possibility of progress. Let's spar. It won't work if we don't see blood."

The evil cultivators were few, and there was no possibility of fighting the Wuqu Academy. They chose to swallow their anger and didn't choose to resist. They obediently let the few leave, enduring humiliation and waiting for an opportunity.

After leaving the territory of evil cultivators and being truly safe, Xing Tian exhorted, "You two can really cause trouble, actually attracting the attention of the Evil King. Fortunately, Li Lao was worried about your safety and told me to meet you in advance."

"Be careful next time. Don't be stupid. You have so many life-saving trump cards on you. Why keep them? Use them if you can. How is it? Did you get the Ice God Divine Dragon essence blood?"

"Don't worry, we successfully obtained the essence blood. Next, we will go back and refine it. Thank you for your help, Master. We will definitely be careful in the future."

Returning to the Wuqu Academy, they began to refine it. When the Ice God Divine Dragon essence blood entered the body, a lot of ice mist appeared on the surface of the body, and the surrounding temperature increased sharply.

He found that the blood began to solidify. Using cultivation to resist had no effect. The power of the essence blood was quite terrifying, and even his own spiritual power was affected to a certain extent. But he didn't want to be controlled by the essence blood.

Helpless, he used all his strength to control the essence blood remaining in his body, forcing it to one place as much as possible, not letting it spread throughout the body, but it was to no avail.

Wan Wan Shitong, who was observing outside, was also anxious. He didn't know what to do. "Master Xing Tian, what's going on? Boss won't have any life danger, right?"

He exhorted, "Don't worry. Chen Ang is lucky. This bit of essence blood shouldn't be a problem. Whether he can pass it depends on his fortune. We can't interfere too much."

"The level of this kind of divine dragon essence blood is extremely high. It is very troublesome to absorb it completely. If he can pass this hurdle, his cultivation of the Ice God Spear Technique will be twice the result with half the effort in the future."

"Originally, I was going to tell my disciple before absorbing it, but I was afraid of increasing his psychological burden, so I didn't say it. Don't worry, there is a backup plan. This Divine Fire Bead can save his life at a critical moment. I will absolutely not use it unless it is a last resort."

Seeing that there was a guarantee, Wan Wan Shitong felt relieved. But Chen Ang was suffering in his heart, still struggling hard. He knew that he had to save himself at this time; no one else could help.

He refined the essence blood with all his heart. After a period of effort, he finally succeeded. His cultivation broke through to the high-stage of the Mountain and River Realm in one fell swoop, which neither of them reacted to. A dragon totem appeared on his right arm, which should be caused by refining the essence blood.

He asked, "Master, what's going on? I was always thinking about suppressing my cultivation. Why did I suddenly break through to the high-stage of the Spirit God Realm? Suppressing it had no effect."

"Hahaha, disciple, this is your opportunity. Don't worry. I have checked it carefully, and there is no problem. You need to stabilize it well next."

It took half a day to stabilize the foundation completely. Using the Ice God Spear Technique was obviously much smoother than before. Sometimes he felt that this totem had a certain connection with the Ice God Spear Technique.

Every time he used the spear technique, the totem on his right arm would appear, giving him powerful strength. This made Chen Ang particularly shocked, but the current situation didn't give him any reaction time. Taking advantage of the hot hand, he began to practice diligently.

There would be higher breakthroughs in the future. The essence blood hadn't been completely absorbed yet. There was still a period of time before complete absorption, and this time was just a buffer period. Settling these powers down completely had great benefits for himself.

Xing Tian saw that Chen Ang had recovered and said, "Not bad, brat. This mission was successfully completed. Practice the Ice God Spear Technique well. It will have great use in the future."

"The Tenglong Trading Firm has a batch of cultivation supplies ready for sale. You two represent the Wuqu Academy to participate. If there is anything you want, buy it. Don't worry, the academy will reimburse you. There won't be any problems."

Wan Wan Shitong quickly said, "Master Xing Tian, don't worry. I won't say anything else, but my Dragon family's strength is not weak. The cultivation resources sold by the Tenglong Trading Firm are definitely not simple. They are all good things. Perhaps it is a good opportunity to make a name for ourselves."

"Why haven't I heard of this Tenglong Trading Firm? Is it very famous?"

"Boss, it's particularly famous. Its strength is powerful, and its intelligence is extensive. As long as the money is in place, they have everything. It's a bit exaggerated to say they can go to heaven and enter the earth, but it's almost the same."

"It's a very terrifying force composed of a group of merchants. As the old saying goes, money can make ghosts push the mill. The bodyguards hired every year are not a few. Generally, few people make trouble at the Tenglong Trading Firm."

"What's more, the prestige of the Tenglong Trading Firm is extremely high. In the past, the elders of the Baili family wanted to take action against the Tenglong Trading Firm, but the family they were in was wiped out, leaving no one behind."

"Later, various families also tried to block it, but they were all ruthlessly rejected, which also made everyone understand the Tenglong Trading Firm's dissatisfaction with the Baili family. But after all, they acted smoothly and intimidated and compensated those families who had blocked it, making their reputation soar!"

"The most critical thing is that every year, the Tenglong Trading Firm takes out a batch of very precious cultivation resources for sale. Even god-level techniques like the Ice God Spear Technique are possible. If I guess correctly, there should be a certain connection between the Tenglong Trading Firm and the Wuqu Academy, right?"

Xing Tian said, "That's right, there is indeed some connection between the two. Every year, the items from the academy in the Sin Prison need to be sold by the Tenglong Trading Firm, and many who have graduated from the academy work at the Tenglong Trading Firm. The relationship is definitely close, mutually beneficial. Who wouldn't want to?"

"Hahaha, I knew it. I found out through some clues. The Wuqu Academy is indeed not simple."

467: The Old Man's Identity

Arriving at the Tenglong Trading Firm, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. It was indeed quite magnificent. Even the guards at the door were at the initial stage of the Spirit God Realm, let alone the bodyguards inside.

They indeed had some strength. They wanted to go in but were blocked. Wan Wan Shitong took out the Dragon family's token, and they were let in. Just after entering the Tenglong Trading Firm, they felt a particularly terrifying aura pouncing on them from behind.

"Brother Long Jie, Boss, this is my cousin. He is currently working in this place. Cousin Long Jie is one of the top geniuses of the Dragon family, and his strength is very terrifying."

"Cousin, today we two want to see what suitable treasures are here. Can you recommend some?"

"The first three floors of the Tenglong Trading Firm can be chosen at will. As for the fourth floor, you can also go. They are precious, but the cost is very high. Generally, I don't recommend going."

Wan Wan Shitong's eyes lit up and he said, "Are there any divine artifacts appearing this time, or divine artifacts are also fine."

"There are divine artifacts, said to be from the ancient period, but there are many competitors. It is estimated that they will be sold in the form of an auction at night. But that is something for big shots to consider. You think too much."

"The first and second floors are the free trade zone of the Tenglong Trading Firm. They will charge a certain stall fee. You can put things you want to sell here, and there will be special people to protect them."

"After the transaction is reached, they will extract one-tenth of the profit as protection for safety outside. The third floor is the goods of the Tenglong Trading Firm itself. The fourth floor should be out of reach. The main purpose this time is to focus on the first two floors."

"Some people can make a fortune on the first two floors, and some can cry bitterly. How to do it depends on your own choice. There are still some important matters, so I'll leave first. If you have any questions, just ask the staff and mention your cousin's name."

After Long Jie left, Chen Ang asked, "Wan Wan Shitong, how is your cousin's strength? He is young, and he is not simple at all. He is definitely more than the Spirit God Realm."

"Hehe, Boss, you guessed right. Cousin's strength has reached the high-stage of the Sovereign Realm, one step away from the peak. He is a genius unique to the Dragon family."

"You should also know that the Dragon family is a big family. He didn't choose to compete for the position of family head, but instead worked as a guard here. It seems there is a hidden reason, but I can't say exactly what the reason is."

"None of them are simple. Let's just stroll around the first two floors this time. I have a premonition that there are treasures I want on the first two floors. I must take them down."

"Haha, since Boss has spoken, let's go and see. The first two floors are mixed with fish and dragons, but there are indeed many good things."

Strolling around the first floor for a while, Chen Ang was attracted by a purple feather in front of him. He didn't know what this thing was, but he always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

The stall owner was an old man, and he couldn't see what cultivation the old man had. He asked, "Senior, I want to take this feather. I don't know what the price is?"

The old man couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect to meet someone who knows the goods today. This feather was found in a special secret realm. I have also studied it hard for a period of time, wanting to seek the secret inside, but found nothing. If you want to obtain it, it's easy to say. Just provide me with a god-level technique."

Chen Ang couldn't help but say, "Senior, are you joking? I won't say anything else, but god-level techniques are rare in the entire Perished World. I am just a junior at the high-stage of the Spirit God Realm. Where can I get a god-level technique? It's indeed a bit difficult."

"Impossible, right? You two don't look simple. At your age, I didn't even have the realm of the Spirit God Realm. I can clearly feel that you have a god-level technique with ice attributes on you."

"I have tested the aura on you. That's right, it is indeed the technique I thought of. If you are willing to exchange, you can do it now. If you are not willing, get lost. Don't affect my business."

Wan Wan Shitong, standing to the side, was a bit unhappy and said, "How valuable is a god-level technique? It's worth a city. You want to take it away with just this feather? It's a bit unrealistic."

The old man smiled and said, "All who come are guests. I don't force you. If you are not willing, you can leave. No one will stop you at all. Some things depend on fate. If you miss it, you won't have a chance."

Chen Ang was particularly conflicted. He always felt like he had seen that purple feather somewhere, but he couldn't say exactly where. But if he used it to exchange for a god-level technique, the risk and benefit were too high, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.

After discussing with Wan Wan Shitong, the two finally decided to go further away to see, and come back after a period of time. Anyway, god-level techniques were not so easy to obtain.

Seeing that they were about to leave, he quickly said, "How about this? How about this? Besides this purple feather, there are some precious cultivation resources in this space ring, plus my three promises. How about it?"

"Senior, everyone knows that your strength is powerful, but whether these three promises are valuable or not is not certain. The risk is too great, completely not worth it."

"My name is Li Qinglian. You should have heard of my name, right? The clothing on your body should be related to the Wuqu Academy. The Old Dean and I are from the same period, a brother relationship. You should be able to find out. I am honest and trustworthy. If you don't believe me, you can go and check."

Wan Wan Shitong, standing to the side, immediately explained, "Li Qinglian, could it be that legendary adult? I didn't expect to see the real person today. The junior feels honored." ===== CHAPTER 432 =====
