Chapter 78

Though it could still boost strength, it was utterly insignificant before the protagonist.

Shangguan Luoyun asked curiously, "You heard about it?"

Xu Chen nodded: "It's spreading throughout the Xuegong. I heard the geniuses from major powers are all preparing to enter?"

Shangguan Luoyun nodded and said, "Indeed, that is why I am in a hurry to confirm the Young Palace Master.

At that time, Saintesses and Saint Sons from sects like the Five Poisons Sect, the Demon Sect, and the Thousand Poison Workshop will all arrive.

Rumor has it this is a remnant of an Ancient Battlefield, where opportunities are countless.

You, as the Xuegong's Young Palace Master, dare to try?"

Xu Chen thought to himself, I must try; the plot demands it.

He immediately declared with conviction, "Absolutely. Bringing glory to the Xuegong is my duty as Young Palace Master."

This plot arc is bigger than all previous ones.

After all, those are the geniuses of major powers!

One battle could make a name, or one battle could lead to demise!

Shangguan Luoyun reminded, "The sect masters of major powers have all inspected it; they estimate only Fifth Grade or Sixth Grade individuals may enter.

You just meet the requirement; at that time, you will lead the Fifth and Sixth Grade elites to fight in the Tianxuan Secret Realm."

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; this meant not only new students, but also old students.

He remembered that in his previous life, there were traitors among the old students.

Mostly from the Demon Sect, but some from the Five Poisons Sect as well.

Back then, he was the unlucky one, injured by traitors, while Ye Xuan, as the protagonist, remained unharmed.

Therefore, he said, "Fine. When does the secret realm open?"

Shangguan Luoyun said, "Approximately half a month from now. During this period, focus on improving your strength.

No need to return; cultivate directly here at my Palace. If you need anything, I will provide it for you."

Xu Chen: "……"

Provide my foot; I think you just want me.

He looked pained: "Palace Master, you cannot. If I stay in Luoyun Hall for too long, rumors will arise."

Shangguan Luoyun snorted, "Who dares? You and I are innocent; what is there to say?"

Xu Chen stared at Shangguan Luoyun for a long time; eventually, Shangguan Luoyun's face turned red.

She helplessly said, "Fine, take these Pills back first. There are quite a few Fifth Grade Body Refining Pills and Spirit Forging Pills inside.

There are also many high-grade Spirit Stones here. Take them back to cultivate; if you need more, come find me."

After speaking, she handed Xu Chen a storage ring.

Xu Chen looked puzzled and checked it.

The next second, his eyes widened.

Ten bottles of Body Refining Pills, ten bottles of Spirit Forging Pills, nine pills per bottle.

As for the Spirit Stones, three to four thousand, all high-grade.

Wow, Shangguan Luoyun is way too generous.

Just these Pills and Spirit Stones, some disciples in the Xuegong might never obtain in a lifetime.

This woman…

Shangguan Luoyun rolled her eyes at Xu Chen: "Why are you just standing there? Take it. You are the Young Palace Master; it's only right."

Xu Chen helplessly nodded and accepted it.

He knew the Young Palace Master could not possibly have this much; this looked ten times the usual amount.

For a moment, he felt pained, yet also moved.

In the future, facing this woman, he would find it hard to refuse directly.

Seeing Xu Chen accept it, Shangguan Luoyun smiled: "That's right. Keep it up."

Xu Chen nodded, said nothing more, and left Luoyun Hall.

Shangguan Luoyun watched Xu Chen, her face showing relief and concern: "I can only help you this far. This time, you must not get beaten badly by Ye Xuan! My heart aches."

……

After returning to his residence, Xu Chen wasted no words and immediately took out Spirit Stones to cultivate.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, surrounding Spiritual Qi began to emit continuously, even condensing into some mist.

Xu Chen felt something was wrong; he had just taken them out, and the Spiritual Qi turned to mist?

He looked up and immediately clicked his tongue in surprise.

He saw a Fifth Grade Top-grade Spirit Gathering Array had appeared at his residence at some unknown time.

The Array hummed and flowed, its Array Patterns flashing, continuously absorbing external Spiritual Qi and condensing it here.

At this moment, Bu Fengshuang saw the pile of Spirit Stones but still said calmly, "Helping you speed up your cultivation."

At this moment, Xu Chen truly did not know what to say.

Finally, he could only spit out two words: "Thanks."

Bu Fengshuang's red lips moved slightly, displaying peerless elegance: "No thanks needed; it is only right."

Xu Chen nodded: "I will cultivate here next. If anything arises, handle it all for me."

He thought to himself that challengers had been numerous recently; Bu Fengshuang's strength was relatively high, making her very suitable for handling them.

Bu Fengshuang said calmly, "Good!"

Having said that, Xu Chen began to swallow the Body Refining Pill to temper his fleshly body.

At the same time, he also began to circulate the Immortal Indestructible Art, and his body started to frantically absorb Spiritual Qi from the outside.

In just one day, he advanced from Fifth Grade Initial Stage to Fifth Grade Middle Stage.

About three days later, Xu Chen consumed a thousand upper-grade Spirit Stones, absorbed a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, and advanced to Fifth Grade Late Stage.

He also consumed Third Grade Body Refining Pills, and his fleshly body skyrocketed to the peak of Fifth Grade Middle Stage, just one step away from entering Fifth Grade Late Stage.

Another five days later, Xu Chen's Divine Sense advanced to Fifth Grade Middle Stage, having used up three bottles of Spirit Forging Pills.

His cultivation also skyrocketed from Fifth Grade Middle Stage to Fifth Grade Late Stage, with his fleshly body at Fifth Grade Late Stage.

He did not slack off, continuing his frenzied cultivation.

Another six days later, exactly half a month had passed.

Xu Chen's cultivation and fleshly body both skyrocketed from Fifth Grade Late Stage to Fifth Grade Consummation Stage, and his Divine Sense also skyrocketed to Fifth Grade Late Stage.

At this point, all the Body Refining Pills and Spirit Forging Pills had been consumed by him.

Those three thousand upper-grade Spirit Stones had also been completely used up by him.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, he opened his eyes, a sharp glint shooting out from them, before his gaze returned to normal.

"In just half a month, my cultivation skyrocketed through three minor realms — if word got out, I'm afraid no one would dare believe it."

"Right now, both my fleshly body and cultivation are just one step away from advancing to Sixth Grade."

"Coincidentally, the Tianxuan Secret Realm is full of fortuitous encounters. This trip, I will surely be able to advance to Sixth Grade."

Xu Chen stretched lazily, and his body immediately emitted a series of crackling sounds — extremely comfortable.

Today was the time to head to the secret realm.
