Chapter 855: Digging for Talent to Their Face

The streets of Youyun Holy Land are paved with thick layers of clouds.

Wang Jianqiang walked upon these cloud-formed streets, flying straight toward the area where the Core Disciples of Youyun Holy Land reside.

The area where he was staying was a place specifically designated by Youyun Holy Land to host guests, not in the same location as the area where Youyun Holy Land disciples live.

To reach the area where the Core Disciples of Youyun Holy Land reside, one must cross through the Outer Sect and Inner Sect of Youyun Holy Land, respectively.

Because of his status as number one on the Spirit Ranking, his name and appearance had long since spread.

Nowadays, his popularity in Youzhou is extremely high.

While passing through the Outer Sect and Inner Sect areas of Youyun Holy Land, many Youyun Holy Land disciples recognized him.

They cast gazes filled with hostility one after another.

Regarding this, he walked forward with a composed expression, as if he had not noticed at all.

Soon, he arrived at the Core Disciple residential area.

Not long after he entered the Core Disciple residential area, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

He looked ahead.

At this moment, standing before him were dozens of aggressive figures.

His gaze fell upon the figure in the lead, and a faint arc lifted at the corner of his mouth, "Tsk tsk, what a grand welcoming ceremony."

"Luo Ming, you certainly put in the effort."

Wang Jianqiang's expression was gentle, and his tone was familiar, as if he were chatting with a close friend.

But these words were filled with mockery in Luo Ming's ears.

It was because of this bastard that his performance in the Spirit Ranking Battle was subpar, and he had become the laughingstock of the younger generation in Youzhou.

"Wan Guiyuan, you actually dare to come to my Youyun Holy Land!"

Luo Ming looked at Wang Jianqiang with a sinister expression, his voice like the cold wind of midwinter, chilling to the bone.

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Is your Youyun Holy Land some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair? Can one not come here?"

As he spoke, he put on a look of fear and glanced around, "Where is the danger? Why can't I see it?"

"Luo Ming, we experienced the Spirit Ranking Battle together, so we can be considered to have some friendship; why don't you give me a hint?"

Luo Ming's face turned gloomy, "Wan Guiyuan, you are still as arrogant and contemptuous as ever!"

"Do you truly think that I, Luo, cannot deal with you?"

As soon as his voice fell, the aura on his body erupted.

A tyrannical aura spread out, enveloping Wang Jianqiang like a tsunami.

Feeling this aura that had already reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, Wang Jianqiang's expression did not change in the slightest.

"Luo Ming, you don't think that reaching the Transformation Stage is enough to oppose me, do you?"

"Or is it that..."

His gaze swept over the dozen or so figures behind Luo Ming, pausing specifically on the five cultivators among them who had reached the Transformation Stage, "These fellow sect members of yours gave you confidence?"

"Hehe, truly arrogant."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's voice fell, a Transformation Stage cultivator stepped out from behind Luo Ming, came to Luo Ming's side, and looked coldly at Wang Jianqiang, "Wan Guiyuan, I have already heard about your affairs."

"It is indeed remarkable that you were able to hold off three Spirit Severing Mid Stage prodigies with your own strength back then."

"But you relied only on your physical defense; once your physical defense is broken, how much ability will you have left?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who spoke, "Oh? You can break my physical defense?"

The person who spoke had a cold and arrogant expression, "I cannot, but someone can!"

After saying this, he looked at a young and beautiful woman behind him, "Junior Sister Liu, the rest is up to you."

The young and beautiful woman was one of the other four Transformation Stage cultivators; she nodded upon hearing this and walked forward a few steps, arriving at a position side-by-side with Luo Ming.

She looked at Luo Ming.

Luo Ming looked at the woman, a flash of tenderness in his eyes, and nodded.

Seeing the exchange of glances between the two.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

There is a story between these two.

Thinking this, his gaze fell upon the woman, and he scrutinized her carefully.

One has to admit that Luo Ming's taste is actually quite good.

The woman's appearance was indeed quite outstanding.

With a slender waist and long legs, her figure was graceful.

She looked quite impressive at first glance.

While Wang Jianqiang was sizing up the woman, a flash of Spirit Light appeared in front of her, and a cone-shaped Magic Treasure no larger than a palm manifested.

The cone-shaped Magic Treasure rotated slowly in the air, its tip pointing directly at Wang Jianqiang.

The moment it appeared, Wang Jianqiang's body suddenly tightened, and a faint sense of crisis swept through his entire body.

He raised an eyebrow.

This Magic Treasure is unusual; it seems specifically designed to break physical defenses.

No wonder Luo Ming dared to come and block him.

"Activate the Combined Attack Technique to assist Junior Sister Liu in driving the Magic Treasure!"

Just at this moment, Luo Ming suddenly let out a low shout.

The next moment.

The crowd scattered, forming a strange Formation to surround the woman in the center.

Immediately, power erupted.

The crowd's power surged into the sky, gathered together above the woman's head, transformed into a force of fusion, and descended to merge into the woman's body.

As the fusion force entered her body, the woman's aura instantly climbed, reaching the level of the Spirit Severing Mid Stage in the blink of an eye.

"Wan Guiyuan, Junior Sister Liu's Hunyuan Awl is specifically designed to break physical defenses."

"We shall gather our strength to activate this Magic Treasure together; let's see how you block it!"

Luo Ming looked at Wang Jianqiang, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Although this strike from Luo Ming and the others had not yet been launched, it had already made him feel a faint sense of crisis.

Relying solely on physical strength, it might indeed be difficult to block this strike.

Of course, if he were able to use his full cultivation, he would have a ten-tenths certainty of blocking it.

But if he did that, the fact that he had broken through the Ninth-Order Will Level Limit would be exposed to the public eye.

Now that Outside the Realm was about to launch an attack on the Outer Realm Battlefield, he did not want to expose his cultivation to the public eye yet.

Thinking of this.

His gaze fell upon the beautiful figure in the middle of Luo Ming and the others, "This Fairy, I, Wan, previously obtained some Pill, which can help a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator quickly strengthen their Nascent Soul."

"If Fairy uses them, I, Wan, can guarantee that you will definitely be able to reach the Spirit Severing Mid Stage within one or two years."

"If Fairy withdraws the Magic Treasure, I, Wan, can bear the pain of parting with them and give these Pill to you."

Liu Yanran had originally activated the Hunyuan Awl to its limit and was about to launch an attack.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, her expression shifted.

She immediately ceased the attack.

Seeing this, Luo Ming frowned, "Junior Sister Liu, this person is full of tricks; he deceived me several times during the Spirit Ranking Battle, and he doesn't even blink when he lies. You wouldn't actually believe this shameless thief, would you?"

"Besides, as long as we take him down, won't everything on him be ours?"

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Liu Yanran's gaze flashed, and the power on her body became strong once again.

"Hehe, Luo Ming, you are too naive."

"If you dare to snatch my, Wan's, Pill, I, Wan, guarantee that I will destroy all the Pill in my Space Ring before you can seize them."

Wang Jianqiang revealed a resolute expression.

Upon hearing this, the power on Liu Yanran's body immediately weakened, and she began to hesitate again.

Seeing this, Luo Ming became anxious, "Junior Sister Liu, don't believe him. He is just a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator; how could he possibly have such Treasure Pill in his possession?"

"Can I, Wan, not have had a fortuitous encounter?" Wang Jianqiang glanced at Luo Ming.

Luo Ming ignored Wang Jianqiang and continued to look at Liu Yanran, "Junior Sister Liu, you know my intentions very well; do you think I would deceive you?"

"This Wan Guiyuan is definitely lying."

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Liu Yanran's expression immediately flickered.

Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes, "Fairy Liu, if you don't believe me, I, Wan, can swear by my Dao Heart."

"If there is even half a lie in my words just now, then when I undergo the Transformation God Tribulation, may the Heart Demon Tribulation surely descend!"

"If you agree, I will definitely give you the Pill and help you break through to the Spirit Severing Mid Stage within one or two years!"

"For us Cultivator, cultivation is the most important thing; what else could be more important than cultivation?"

"I might as well tell you, even saying this, I, Wan, am still being modest."

"If you are willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, and follow me, Wan, wholeheartedly from now on, I, Wan, can guarantee that you will reach Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection within fifty years and break through to the Integration Stage within a hundred years!"
