Chapter 422: Supernatural Lightning

"Alright, since Big Brother has made up his mind, then let's do it that way. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Yongan City, find a way to trick that guy into talking, then tie him up and bring him before that President."

"Hmph, that guy surnamed Yan, to actually dare to plot against us, he's simply tired of living."

"Tomorrow, let him pay a painful price for everything he has done!"

In the Alchemy Room, Lu Yu was focused on consuming the two newly finished batches of True Qi Pill.

He looked up at the time; it was already past six in the morning.

"I didn't expect the sky to brighten without me noticing; time really passes quickly," Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

He had spent the entire night immersed in the process of refining True Qi Pill.

For eight full hours, he was completely focused and refined a total of 32 batches.

As he continuously refined True Qi Pill, his Potential Point also grew rapidly, rising from the initial 1.5 billion to 4.6 billion.

At this moment, his Realm was displayed as: True Essence Realm First Stage.

The True Essence value was: 1764/210, and the Source True Essence had also increased from the previous 138 points to 210 points.

Such a significant improvement was all thanks to his unique cultivation method of circulating True Essence through his meridians.

Only now, the effect of this cultivation method was gradually weakening.

Nowadays, he needed to meditate for half an hour to increase his Source True Essence by half a point, unlike at the beginning, when circulating the True Essence once or twice would increase it by one point.

And in this half hour, he could refine two batches of True Qi Pill, gaining nearly 200 million Potential Point.

"4.6 billion Potential Point, I wonder if it's enough for me to raise my Realm to True Essence Realm Second Stage. Even if I can't raise it, at least the True Essence in my body has truly increased. Hmm, then let's raise it a bit before going out to hunt."

Lu Yu calculated secretly in his heart, then made up his mind and clicked the plus sign on the attribute panel.

Instantly, 100 million Potential Point disappeared.

Looking at the panel again, the True Essence value became: 1781/212.1.

The Source True Essence increased by 2.1 points, and the total amount of True Essence in his body also increased by nearly 20 points.

You must know, 20 points of True Essence is equivalent to 2000 points of True Qi; this is not a small amount.

"I don't know how much Potential Point is needed for the next upgrade." Lu Yu felt a little uneasy in his heart and clicked on it cautiously.

A prompt popped up on the screen: "Do you want to consume 100 million Potential Point to increase Source True Essence by 1%?"

"Still 100 million Potential Point?" Lu Yu was a bit surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face.

This could be considered good news, because every 1% increase is based on the previous foundation; in this way, for the same 1% increase, the value of each increase will be greater than the last.

To raise True Essence to one hundred percent, one needs nearly 120,000 points of True Essence, and every 1% increase only adds a few points of Source True Essence; this path of improvement is truly not easy.

Lu Yu sighed softly; having more True Qi value also brings troubles. At the very least, the difficulty for him to condense a Martial Dao True Pill is dozens or hundreds of times higher than others.

He couldn't help but ponder to himself, what quality of Martial Dao True Pill would be condensed on the day the conditions are met?

Is it the middle three grades? Or the upper three grades? Is it even possible to directly condense a first-grade Martial Dao True Pill?

"Forget it, let's continue first." Lu Yu stopped overthinking and chose "Yes."

With each click, the True Essence in his body became even more vast.

The Potential Point on the panel was consumed 100 million by 100 million just like that.

Finally, with the last click, less than 30 million Potential Point remained.

Lu Yu looked at the panel: Realm: True Essence Realm First Stage, True Essence: 2779.4/330.8

At this time, the Source True Essence had already reached 330.8 points, and the total amount of True Essence in his body had reached over 2700, which was more than double compared to before.

2700 points of True Essence, which is 270,000 points of True Qi; with such strong True Essence support, even performing the fifth slash of the Wind-Facing Blade Slash could be done without any pressure.

It's just that the cultivation progress had only reached 2.4%.

"The road ahead is long and arduous," Lu Yu looked at the panel and sighed with a bitter smile.

Just at this moment, the mobile phone placed on the table suddenly rang.

"Is it Hai Qiong?"

Lu Yu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he felt that today was the day of the relocation, so it was normal for Hai Qiong to call him.

However, for such a small matter, did he really need to show up himself?

"No, it's the other phone." Lu Yu flashed his figure, quickly picked up the vibrating phone, and saw that the name displayed on it was Ji Bingyu.

His expression immediately became serious, because this call was very likely made by Ji Wanqing using Ji Bingyu's phone.

If that was the case, it meant Ji Wanqing had very important information to tell him.

"Could it be that that guy Wei Xiong has come?" A flash of killing intent crossed Lu Yu's eyes, and he answered the phone without hesitation.

"Lu Yu, it's me." Ji Wanqing's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yu asked with concern, feeling anxious as soon as he heard her.

"I just used my ability, so my body is a bit weak; you don't need to worry too much." Ji Wanqing coughed lightly twice, her voice filled with exhaustion.

"Sister." The worried cry of Ji Bingyu could be faintly heard from the side.

"It's okay." Ji Wanqing comforted Ji Bingyu, then said to Lu Yu, "Lu Yu, Wei Xiong and the others are coming soon. In another two hours, they will step into Yongan City. No matter what, you must not let them enter the city."

"Oh?" Lu Yu's heart tightened, his expression instantly became solemn, and he asked, "Why?"

"There are four people coming this time, and the one leading them is Wei Xiong. I don't need to say much about his situation; you are clear about it too.

Among them, two are B-grade Awakened. The one wearing white clothes has the awakened ability of lightning.

The power of the moves he performs is extremely strong; you must be extra careful. It is best to find a way to eliminate him at the very beginning; you must never give him a chance to attack.

The other one wearing blue clothes should also not be taken lightly. Compared to that Awakened with the lightning ability, his ability is even more troublesome."

"What is his ability?"

"Intangibility," Ji Wanqing answered without hesitation, "He can make his body intangible, so that he cannot be hit by attacks. Therefore, your blade technique might be effective against others, but for him, it might not have any effect.

If you want to kill him, you must seize the moment he attacks you, because at that moment, his body will change from an intangible state to a solid one."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yu suddenly realized, and he couldn't help but nod.

If Ji Wanqing hadn't warned him in advance, he likely would have slashed at the opponent without a second thought, only to have it easily neutralized, wasting over a hundred thousand True Qi for nothing.

However, hearing Ji Wanqing put it that way, he pondered in his heart: that guy seems to only be immune to physical attacks; if he were to strike him with a Spirit Secret Technique while he was in a state of Intangibility, he should die, right?

"Wanqing, I remember you saying earlier that their group consisted of four people, so where is the other one?" Lu Yu continued to ask.

"There is one more who wears black clothes and has the thinnest build; he is only a C-rank Awakened, and his combat power is relatively average. Among these four people, however, he poses the greatest threat to you," Ji Wanqing said, then began to cough violently again.

"His ability is tracking; he can find the owner of a scent based on the smell left at a scene. Although your Disguise Technique can deceive people's eyes, it cannot deceive him.

According to my perception yesterday, you went out hunting early this morning, and Wei Xiong successfully entered Yongan City with these people.

They arrived at the place where the battle broke out two days ago, and that person used his ability, subsequently discovering your tracks at the Martial Arts Association and the Awakened Association.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "And then what?"
