Chapter 733: Preparations Before Resurrecting Mu Lingxi

Beneath the teleportation portal.

Wang Jianqiang sat steadily cross-legged on the ground, soft jade in his arms, in full control of the situation.

After seeing Xuan Che flee into the distance, he had no intention of getting up at all.

He remained as motionless as a mountain, in full control of the situation.

Kong Yu's face was full of shame and indignation; especially when she thought of the pain revealed in Brother Xuan Che's eyes the moment he saw her, her heart struggled incomparably.

She had thought about pushing Wang Daniu away immediately, to let Brother Xuan Che see her resolve.

But she was even more afraid of Wang Daniu's retribution afterward.

In the end, she still chose to remain rational.

She had her own hidden reasons; Brother Xuan Che had always been reasonable and would surely understand her.

Not long after.

When she saw that Xuan Che had failed to escape the Formation and was trapped within it, a look of worry immediately appeared on her face.

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang moved slightly, no longer in control of the situation.

He waved his hand.

Kong Yu let out a long sigh of relief, as if liberated, and stood to the side with the speed of a projectile.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang slowly stand up and cast his gaze toward Brother Xuan Che, a look of worry could not help but flash in her eyes.

"Xuan Che, there is no need to waste your effort."

"Today, you will undoubtedly die."

Wang Jianqiang floated into the air, looking toward the distant Xuan Che, his voice filled with killing intent clearly reaching Xuan Che's ears.

As his words fell, a powerful force surged within the Formation, transforming into a suppressing force that enveloped Xuan Che.

Xuan Che's face revealed a look of horror, and he struggled frantically.

But even though he exhausted all his strength, the binding force around him did not loosen in the slightest; he could not even move a single finger.

The next moment.

Spirit Light flashed before him, and Wang Jianqiang appeared in a flash.

"Wang Daniu!"

Xuan Che stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang.

His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with resentment, unwillingness, and anger.

His eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of fresh blood, a patch of crimson.

He was unwilling!

His future should have been infinitely bright.

His path to immortality should have been broad and long.

How could he die at the hands of this person?

Hearing Xuan Che's words filled with resentment, Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "Don't look at Wang like that, otherwise, if others see it, they will think it is I who am bullying you."

"In fact, the reason why things have developed to this point between us is all your fault."

"Wang originally did not wish to cause more trouble; if you hadn't actively provoked me in the Ancient Palace and then left Wang no way to survive, how would we have ended up in this state?"

Xuan Che's expression stalled, and he snorted coldly, "If you hadn't hidden your strength, would I have actively provoked you? You were clearly inducing me to target you; your heart is punishable."

Wang Jianqiang laughed upon hearing this, "I actually underestimated you; you can actually describe bullying the weak and fearing the strong in such a fresh and refined way."

"What? If Wang's strength were weak, should I deserve to die?"

Xuan Che nodded as if it were a matter of course, "This is the rule of the cultivation world; the weak are prey to the strong, it has always been so."

Wang Jianqiang nodded in full agreement, "That's right, the weak are prey to the strong; now, Wang is stronger than you, so you must also accept your fate."

While speaking, Wang Jianqiang's figure flashed and appeared beside Xuan Che.

In the eyes of Xuan Che, who was staring until his eyes cracked, he severed the arm that Xuan Che had regrown.

Ignoring his screams, and under his gaze that was almost spitting fire, he removed the Space Ring from the finger of his severed arm.

Then, he searched it right in front of him.

After a round of inspection, Wang Jianqiang felt somewhat disappointed.

Although this Space Ring contained many precious Medicinal Herbs obtained from the Medicine Realm, it did not contain the one missing for the Life Creation Pill.

"Wang Daniu, while you haven't committed a grave mistake yet, there is still a chance for remedy."

Just at this moment, Xuan Che's voice suddenly came.

Wang Jianqiang put away the Space Ring and looked at Xuan Che with a smile, "Oh? What chance?"

Xuan Che looked at Wang Jianqiang, his eyes flickering, "If you release me and Yu'er now, after leaving the Secret Realm, I can request the elders of the Jade Cauldron Sect to spare your life."

"Otherwise, you will be forging a blood feud with the Jade Cauldron Sect."

"Your strength is indeed not weak, but compared to the Jade Cauldron Sect, it is like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon."

"At that time, you will undoubtedly die!"

Wang Jianqiang sighed upon hearing this, "Xuan Che, this condition of yours comes a bit late."

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Xuan Che's heart, and his spirits lifted, "As long as you are willing to let me and Yu'er go now, it is not too late."

Wang Jianqiang was silent for a moment, then continued, "If you had offered such a condition back then, Wang might have agreed to let you go, but what you said back then was that whether I let you go or not, I would be unable to escape death."

"Therefore, I could only break the jar and let it shatter; now that Fairy Kong has already been by me..."

Speaking to this point, Wang Jianqiang sighed.

Xuan Che's heart trembled, as if he understood Wang Jianqiang's meaning, but he was still somewhat unwilling, and said, "What has been done to Yu'er by you?"

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "Why must Daoist Friend Xuan ask when you already know the answer?"

After saying this, he sighed heavily again, not knowing what he was thinking of, as a trace of reminiscence flashed through his eyes.

Seeing this, Xuan Che was so angry he nearly had a seizure.

This bastard had really already...

Noticing Xuan Che's ugly expression, Wang Jianqiang looked completely innocent.

"Daoist Friend Xuan, you can't blame me for this, right? You never intended to leave me a way out to begin with, and Fairy Kong is just so beautiful~~"

"That's why I decided to go all the way~~ Hehe~~"

Hearing this, Xuan Che's face turned completely black.

So...

The things this Wang Daniu had done were still his fault?

Yet, upon closer thought, the other party's words actually made a lot of sense!

This made him feel so stifled he wanted to die.

Staring fixedly at Wang Jianqiang, an uncontrollable, icy killing intent surged in his heart.

"I knew it was already too late; I cannot turn back."

Sensing this killing intent, Wang Jianqiang sighed, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Xuan Che, "Since that is the case, I have no choice but to see this through to the end."

"Killing one is breaking even, killing two is a huge profit."

Sensing the madness and killing intent revealed in Wang Daniu's expression, Xuan Che's heart trembled, and he instantly sobered up.

He almost couldn't help but slap himself.

He was the one on the chopping block now; no matter what, he had to stabilize the other party first.

Thinking of this.

A smile was immediately squeezed onto his face, "Daoist Friend, wait, you've misunderstood. If you turn back now, it is still not too late."

The killing intent on Wang Jianqiang's face instantly vanished, and he looked at Xuan Che with some suspicion, "Really?"

"Of course it's real." Xuan Che nodded heavily, "I, Xuan Che, always keep my word and would never deceive a Daoist Friend. I swear it on my character."

Wang Jianqiang's expression remained somewhat hesitant, "But, don't you and Kong Yu have mutual feelings for each other?"

"I helped you cover a meadow, and not only are you not resentful, but you are also willing to let me go?"

Xuan Che's expression stiffened, "Rest assured, Daoist Friend, I still have that much magnanimity."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang looked full of admiration, "As expected of a prodigy of the Jade Cauldron Sect, your magnanimity is truly astonishing."

"In that case, I can rest easy."

Xuan Che squeezed a gentle smile onto his face, "Since that is the case, could you please withdraw your binding power, Daoist Friend?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head.

Xuan Che's expression immediately stiffened, "What does this mean, Daoist Friend?"

"Isn't my performance obvious enough?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Xuan Che with a grin, "I am clearly saying that I do not agree."

"You are playing me!"

Xuan Che finally realized it at this moment.

The smile on Wang Jianqiang's face suddenly became richer, "You finally figured it out. That's right, I am indeed playing you."

Xuan Che nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He had tried every possible way to stabilize Wang Daniu, all to save his own life temporarily, intending to settle the score after leaving the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm.

He had thought Wang Daniu had fallen for it, but he hadn't expected this animal to be even more ruthless, playing him from the very beginning!

"Wang Daniu, you despicable, shameless bastard, you animal, you will die a horrible death!"

At this moment, Xuan Che completely lost his reason and began to curse incessantly.

Wang Jianqiang's smile did not fade as he slowly raised his palm, "Many thanks for the praise, Daoist Friend, but whether I die or not is no concern of yours."

"Before that, I will send you on your way first."

After saying this, Spiritual Power surged in Wang Jianqiang's palm, and he struck toward Xuan Che.

Just as Xuan Che was about to lose his life.

Boom!

A booming sound suddenly rang out.

A node of the Medicine Realm's Array, hidden in the void, suddenly exploded for some unknown reason.

That tyrannical and violent power expanded outward, crashing into the light screen of the Array.

The light screen of the Array shattered instantly.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang hurriedly withdrew the Spirit Sense he had integrated into the Array, avoiding being caught in the aftermath.

However, with a thought, he still Disguised himself as having been affected, let out a muffled groan, and flew backward while spitting out blood.

As the Array was broken.

The binding power between heaven and earth instantly dissipated.

Xuan Che's body felt loose, and he broke free from the binding.

He glanced at Wang Daniu, who was falling downward, but did not dare to attack rashly.

The Array had been broken suddenly, and Wang Daniu, as the controller of the Array, had failed to react in time and was affected.

He would certainly be injured, but this injury was likely not enough to cause his combat power to drop significantly.

Especially after being fooled several times before, he had a full understanding of Wang Daniu's craftiness.

Instinctively, he felt some trepidation.

In the end, he did not dare to launch an attack on Wang Daniu, but instead, taking advantage of Wang Daniu being unable to attend to anything else, he used Instant Movement to appear before the exit.

"Yu'er."

He looked down at that graceful figure, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Kong Yu shook her head with a sorrowful expression, "Brother Xuan Che, Yu'er is controlled by others and cannot help herself; do not blame Yu'er."

"Otherwise, Yu'er truly will not be able to go on living."

Hearing Kong Yu's words, which contained a will to die, Xuan Che's expression changed.

"Yu'er, I do not blame you; you must live well."

"Wait for me!"

Xuan Che knew that Kong Yu had a Restriction planted on her by Wang Daniu, and she could not disobey Wang Daniu's orders, nor could she leave with him.

He did not make Kong Yu go with him.

After finishing, he charged directly into the teleportation portal and disappeared.

Upon hearing Xuan Che's words before he left, Kong Yu's spirits lifted.

A look of joy appeared on her pretty face.

After Xuan Che left, Wang Jianqiang in the distance seemed to have finally recovered completely from the backlash of his Formation being broken.

He looked toward the teleportation portal from afar, a faint arc lifting the corner of his mouth.

As expected.

Xuan Che possessed heaven-defying luck; whenever he encountered a life-threatening crisis, all sorts of accidents would always occur to help him escape.

His primary purpose in coming here this time was not to kill Xuan Che.

It was to create this "crisis."

It was just that.

The accident he had guessed beforehand was that, like before, Medicinal Herbs he could not refuse would appear, causing him to give up on killing Xuan Che.

But reality had deviated slightly from his guess.

The Medicinal Herbs did not appear, but the Array concealing the Medicinal Herbs had inexplicably exploded.

As this node exploded, an area with a diameter of over a thousand zhang appeared, no longer covered by any Formation.

In this area, the Medicinal Herbs that were originally hidden under the Formation were all exposed.

Under normal circumstances.

When the Formation node exploded, these Medicinal Herbs should have been hit by the force of the explosion and completely destroyed.

But for some special reason.

The force of the explosion had "miraculously" bypassed these Medicinal Herbs, allowing them all to survive.

For Wang Jianqiang, this was actually an even greater harvest.

He looked at the ground, his eyes becoming burning hot.

Looking out.

In this area no longer covered by any Formation, there were fully fifty or sixty Medicinal Herbs.

What made him feel even more pleasantly surprised was.

The one Medicinal Herb still missing for refining the Life Creation Pill happened to be among them.

Truly worthy of being a person favored by luck!

Following such a person, there is indeed meat to eat.

Wang Jianqiang sighed with emotion, and without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashed to the side of that Medicinal Herb and he collected it.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

He began to slowly pick his Medicinal Herbs.

After collecting all the Medicinal Herbs, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.

The Medicinal Herbs needed to refine the Life Creation Pill were finally all gathered.

He did not know if resurrecting Lingxi would cause a great disturbance and thus attract the attention of others.

This Medicine Realm was vast enough, and most importantly, there was no one who could threaten him.

It was just the right place to resurrect Lingxi.

Thinking of this.

His figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Kong Yu.

Kong Yu was startled, a look of fear appearing on her face.

Every time a battle ended, Wang Daniu would subject her to extensive rewards and punishments.

A shadow had already formed in her heart.

Immediately following.

She discovered with surprise that Wang Daniu did not subject her to rewards and punishments as she had imagined.

Instead, he took out the Beast Taming Ring.

"Go in."

As Wang Jianqiang's command sounded, her body flew up uncontrollably and entered the space of the Beast Taming Ring.

Afterward, Wang Jianqiang waved his palm and put away the Beast Taming Ring.

He identified the direction.

He soared into the air and flew toward the distance.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang landed in an inconspicuous place, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Before refining the Life Creation Pill to resurrect Lingxi.

Wang Jianqiang needed to optimize and upgrade the Pill Formula for the Life Creation Pill.

However.

Currently, he had very few Cultivation Points left, so he had to accumulate some first.

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged on the spot.

With a wave of his palm, he took out an Instrument Furnace and a large quantity of low-grade Spirit Mineral.

In order not to increase the difficulty of obtaining Cultivation Points, he had not raised his Artifact Dao cultivation; his Artifact Dao cultivation remained at Second Tier High Grade.

Using artifact refining to accumulate Cultivation Points was undoubtedly his fastest way to do so at present.

In the time that followed.

He began to refine artifacts continuously.

His cultivation had already recovered to Nascent Soul Late Stage, so the consumption from refining Spirit Tools was negligible to him.

He could easily go without sleep or rest, refining continuously for a month.

One month later.

He would only need one Pill to restore Spiritual Power and one to restore Soul power to fully recover in just half a day.

Then, he would continue refining.

For three consecutive months, Wang Jianqiang was constantly refining artifacts.

He was able to accumulate an average of six thousand Cultivation Points per month, totaling eighteen thousand Cultivation Points after three months.

On this day, Wang Jianqiang stopped refining artifacts, and after restoring his Spiritual Power and Soul power, a look of contemplation flashed across his face.

The Life Creation Pill is a Sixth-tier low-grade Pill.

Eighteen thousand Cultivation Points should be enough.
