Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2157

Qi Ling-er discreetly shot a glance at Zhang Xuan, and seeing that the latter was not intending to reveal her identity, she could not help but praise him for keeping a low profile. After a moment of contemplation, she said, “It was obtained by a friend of mine, and it’s worth 1,500 Divine Coins each. Furthermore, there’s no market for it. ”

“1,500 Divine Coins? That’s not expensive at all. Contact your friend and tell him that no matter how many there are in the future, our Qi Clan will buy them all! ”

Even though the medicinal pill from before did not have much of an effect on him, it could allow a Godking powerhouse to recover from some of their internal injuries. Its effects were terrifying.

Most likely, the old ancestor was the only one in the Qi Clan who was capable of such a feat.

If such a powerful pill were to be distributed to a talented descendant of the Qi Clan, the entire Qi Clan would surely go crazy.

“Alright.”

Not expecting the clan head to become the biggest buyer of the Beauty Pills, Qi Ling-er scratched her head awkwardly. “I still have 14 of them here …”

“I’ll take them all!”

Clan head Qi nodded. He took the jade boxes from Qi Ling-er and flicked his finger lightly. Qi Ling-er immediately felt an additional 22,500 Divine Coins appearing on her card.

The pill that she had just consumed was already considered money. As a God King, he could not allow himself to be greedy for the benefits of his juniors.

“Thank you, clan head!” Qi Ling-er’s eyes lit up in excitement as she bowed deeply.

Money did not mean much to her anymore. However, with the Beauty Pills in hand, the attitude of the clan head would change, and her authority would increase significantly in the future.

Without saying anything else, Clan Head Qi turned around and left with the remaining Beauty Pills.

He had quite a few internal injuries on his body, so if he were to consume these pills, he might be able to raise his fighting prowess once more.

While it was impossible for him to become a Conferred God King, at the very least, he would be able to raise his fighting prowess significantly.

“Clan head …” Qi Yue and Qi Ling-er fell silent.

They had thought that the clan head would punish the other party harshly after exposing them, but who could have thought that they would suffer such heavy losses in the blink of an eye?

Putting everything aside, just the profits from the Beauty Pills alone was more than enough to sustain a branch for several decades. Putting aside the fact that they were in charge of the Beauty Pills, the connections they could draw to their side were priceless.

“Qi Ling-er, there’s no need for you to gloat over it. I don’t care how you managed to stay here for more than two hours, and I don’t care what magic your so-called Beauty Pill has. It’s mine, and you’ll never be able to get it! ”

Gritting her teeth, Qi Xun-er harrumphed coldly before turning around to leave.

He had already lost a match today, so there was no point in saying anything else. Since she had returned to the Imperial City, there would be more and more opportunities for them to fight in the future. He refused to believe that he would lose again and again!

Watching as his younger sister left, Qi Yue frowned, seemingly unable to make sense of what was going on. He shot a glance at Qi Ling-er before turning to look at the motionless Zhang Xuan, but it seemed like he did not notice anything amiss at all. So, he could only shake his head and follow behind Qi Yue.

As a peerless genius, his breadth of mind was naturally not something his sister could compare to. In his eyes, it didn’t matter whether he was in power or not. As long as he could break through to the Divine King Realm, everything would disappear.

No matter how powerful one’s influence was, it was all fake if one did not have the strength to match it.

With strength, power, and money were easily obtainable.

“Zhang-shao, thank you for your help!”

Seeing that everyone had left, Qi Ling-er turned to the young man before her and kneeled down to kowtow.

If not for the young man, putting aside being placed in an important position, it was likely that she would have been stuck in Twilight City for the rest of her life as the manager of an underground trading firm.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony,” Zhang Xuan replied with a wave of his hand. After a moment of contemplation, he decided not to hide anything anymore. “Since the Lucid Lunar Lake is so powerful, can I give it a try?”

This was the main reason he was there. Since he had already seen it, he wanted to experience it for himself.

“The Lucid Lunar Lake is filled with violent energy. Without the bloodline of our Qi Clan, I fear that I won’t be able to withstand it,” Qi Ling-er said hesitantly.

She had experienced the violent energy in the lake for herself. Without the corresponding bloodline, there was a good chance that she would be reduced to ashes if she entered the lake.

“I’ll give it a try. If there’s any danger, I’ll come up right away,” Zhang Xuan said.

“Alright.” Thinking that the young man who possessed the bloodline of a God Monarch would surely have a way to protect himself, Qi Ling-er gritted her teeth and said, “However, outsiders aren’t allowed to enter the lake. I’ll stand guard outside for you. You mustn’t be discovered. Furthermore, you mustn’t tell anyone about it either … ”

While the Qi Clan did not forbid outsiders from entering the Lucid Lunar Lake, there was no way they would allow outsiders to enter the lake.

“Don’t worry, I’ve always kept a low profile, so I won’t say a word about it!”

Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.

As a low-profile person, there was no need for him to explain himself.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan leaped into the lake.

Tzzzzz!

He immediately felt an innumerable amount of energy gushing toward him, reminiscent of the spatial storm from before. In the blink of an eye, his body was already bleeding profusely, and he found himself on the verge of collapse.

“Heaven’s Path zhenqi!”

With a thought, Zhang Xuan channeled his zhenqi into his body, nourishing his torn muscles and allowing them to swiftly recover.

However, the rampaging energy was simply too powerful. No matter how quickly his zhenqi recovered, it was still unable to keep up with the destructive force.

“Come out!”

With a thought, Little Chick darted out from his dantian.

“What violent spiritual energy! I like it! Hurry up and kill me! I’m coming!” Upon seeing the lake, Little Chick’s eyes immediately lit up. It dived into the Lucid Lunar Lake and began swimming.

Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

He had told that fellow to prepare a bath for him, but it had gone swimming instead.

Remember your identity, you’re a chicken!

Chickens don’t know how to swim …

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to reprimand Little Chick, the little fellow suddenly lowered its head and dived into the depths of the lake.

Si la!

The lake water boiled, and the rampaging energy gushed toward Little Chick. As if a porcelain vase that had been struck, its body burst apart in the blink of an eye, reduced to a cloud of blood mist.

“This …”

Qi Ling-er was completely dumbfounded.

Who was that chicken?

Where did it come from?

Why did it commit suicide?

Wasn’t it better to be alive?

A series of questions popped up in her mind, forming a series of ellipses.

“You wastrel …” Zhang Xuan nearly burst into tears.

That chicken was simply too unreliable!

I told you to come out and save me, but you chose to commit suicide instead …

Can’t you have some dignity?

Qi Ling-er clutched her forehead.

It seemed like he would have to rely on himself in the end. That chicken had never let him have his way before …

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Xuan quickly drove his zhenqi to his limits. But all of a sudden, the Lucid Lunar Lake beneath his feet began shaking intensely, as if it was on the verge of exploding.

Taken aback, Zhang Xuan quickly turned his gaze forward. The calm surface of the lake was on the verge of exploding, and it looked as if it would explode at any moment.

“This … What’s going on?” Zhang Xuan felt his scalp twitching in frenzy.

Previously, when the Huanyu Kingdom’s Lucid Lunar Lake exploded, it was because he and his clone had absorbed too much energy.

But this Lucid Lunar Lake had only just entered the lake, and he hadn’t absorbed a single mouthful of energy at all. He had been focused on recuperating his body and suppressing the energy … He really hadn’t done anything at all!

It was one thing if he couldn’t withstand the energy, but before he could even do anything, he was already in such a state … Was this even reasonable?

Explosion your head!

It really has nothing to do with me …

Frustrated, Zhang Xuan knew that if the Lucid Lunar Lake were to explode, the God King would surely skin him alive, and he wouldn’t be able to escape at all. Thus, with a helpless look on his face, he decided to leap out and leave this place first.

But before he could do so, he suddenly saw the raging energy of the Lucid Lunar Lake gushing toward him. The rampaging energy sealed off the surrounding space, and in an instant, he felt as if he had been bound by ropes. He wanted to leave, but he was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried!

“The heck!”

Zhang Xuan was on the verge of going insane.

Why … are you trying to pin it on me?

Do you think that I am a lighter and you are a firecracker?

Zhang Xuan cursed inwardly, but since he couldn’t escape, he could only endure it.

Tzzzzz!

Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, the raging energy was already right before him. In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if his body would be torn apart at any moment. His Heaven’s Path zhenqi was completely helpless before the raging energy.

It wasn’t that his Heaven’s Path zhenqi was weak, but the energy in the lake was simply too powerful, far beyond what he could withstand.

Peng peng!

Fresh blood splattered all over the place, and Zhang Xuan felt a little light-headed.

Am I going to die here if I fail to temper my physical body?

Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears.

He was only here to temper his physical body. It was one thing for them to stop him from tempering his physical body, but to trap him here and threaten him with an explosion … Are they afraid that I won’t die?

This won’t do. I’ll just have to use the golden page to smash the lake …

Feeling that he was on the verge of collapsing, Zhang Xuan felt deeply stifled.

Qi Ling-er had used the God Essence Pill that he had given her, which was infused with his Heaven’s Path zhenqi, to last for two more hours. He had thought that the lake wouldn’t reject his energy, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

Forget it, it seems like I’ll have to use the golden page. I have no idea whether it will be able to save me or not, but I don’t have any better ideas at the moment!

Gritting his teeth tightly, Zhang Xuan decided to use the golden page that he had just obtained.

As long as I possess the Qi Clan’s bloodline, the lake won’t go berserk. While I don’t have the Qi Clan’s bloodline, I should be able to disguise myself as a member of the Qi Clan with the disguise token that Ruoxin gave me.

Back then, he had used the disguise token to disguise himself as Luo Tianya, so he did not have to fear the bloodline test at all.

Knowing that time waits for no one, he immediately altered the aura of his zhenqi and soul.

In an instant, he became similar to the head of the Qi Clan and Qi Yue, emanating the aura of the Qi Clan’s bloodline.

Weng!

Even though the boiling lake water was still pulsating, the tearing sensation gradually subsided, as if acknowledging his identity.

“It works!”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He had not harbored much hope for it, but he had actually succeeded.

With the tearing sensation of the lake water dissipating, he was no longer in any danger. At the same time, he was no longer in such a hurry to escape.

As his physical body absorbed the energy from the surroundings, his cells were constantly being torn apart and reconstructed, becoming even more resilient and powerful.

“What incredible speed of cultivation!”

Feeling the changes occurring in his body with every breath he took, Zhang Xuan’s nervous eyes began to glow in excitement.

He had nearly lost his life previously, but who could have known that he would be able to absorb the energy from the lake water so easily?

Based on the rate at which the energy was fusing with his physical body, it would take him less than ten minutes to raise his physical body’s resilience to an astounding level!

As expected of the renowned physical body cultivation center of the Sky of Drifting Specter, the risk he had taken was worth it.

Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken for him to raise his physical body so swiftly?

Celestial God realm primary stage!

Celestial God realm intermediate stage!

…

In the blink of an eye, his physical body had already reached Celestial God realm advanced stage, and it was still growing stronger by the moment. Not only so, there was a faint golden glow emanating from his muscles, forming thin threads that were connected to his body.

He had no idea what it was, but it gave him an extremely comfortable feeling. It felt as if his physical body had grown many times stronger with it.

…

“Big brother, I can’t take this lying down!”

As soon as Qi Xun-er returned to her residence, she smashed eight flower vases and tea sets on the ground. She gritted her teeth furiously.

She never would have thought that she would end up in such a miserable state.

Qi Yue waved his hand and said, “There’s no point in getting angry now that things have come to this. It seems like you know too little about Qi Ling-er. Let’s just treat this as a lesson.”

In the end, it was all because he knew too little about his opponent.

If only he had known that her talent had increased by so much, he would not have challenged her to a duel!

“I know. I just can’t accept it …” Qi Xun-er shook her head. “I grew up with her, so I know what kind of talent she has. There must be a reason behind her sudden increase in talent. As for the Beauty Pill … Humph, I’ll look into it right now to see what kind of pill it is and who the person who forged it is!”

As the head of a trading firm and a rival of Qi Ling-er, it went without saying that she was no ordinary person.

“Un. Not only that, we should also look into the person behind her, Zhang Xuan as well!” Qi Yue said.

“Big brother, you are suspecting that fellow?” Qi Xun-er looked at Qi Xun-er doubtfully. “He doesn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary.”

Qi Yue shook his head. “Judging from his cultivation, he’s only a low-tier Celestial God. There’s nothing special about him, but for some reason, he’s simply too composed. Even I would feel my heart trembling a little when facing the clan head. Even the strongest high-tier Celestial God would be unable to withstand the wrath of a God King … Yet, he didn’t even budge an inch. It’s really perplexing!”

“This …” Hearing those words, Qi Xun-er thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like there was indeed something wrong with that fellow. “Now that you mention it, it does seem like there’s something unusual about him. On top of that, he’s also very handsome!”

Qi Yue’s eyebrows shot up. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. The most important thing right now is to raise your cultivation. She has already reached the Celestial God realm, so it’s only a matter of time before you lose your position in the clan head’s eyes.”

“Yes …” Qi Xun-er nodded. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt the ground trembling slightly. The spiritual energy in the distance swiftly gathered together.

Hu!

Qi Yue got to his feet and looked in the direction where the spiritual energy was gathering. “It’s the Lucid Lunar Lake. Let’s head over to take a look!”

Ignoring Qi Xun-er, Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed over.

The place where they were staying was not too far away from the Lucid Lunar Lake. With his speed, it only took him a few breaths to arrive at the lake. Following which, he saw the young man at the center of the lake and the worried Qi Ling-er standing by the shore.

“To actually allow an outsider to enter the Lucid Lunar Lake, that Qi Ling-er is done for …”

Qi Xun-er also arrived behind Zhang Xuan, and upon seeing this sight, her eyes lit up.

It was precisely because she was unable to find any evidence that she could use against the other party that she was unable to get rid of. With this, no matter how important the other party was to the clan head, she would surely be punished.

Wuuuuuu!

While Zhang Xuan was still filled with excitement, he suddenly heard the sound of wind whistling in the air. He quickly turned around, only to see the clan head and the high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle elders standing behind him with livid faces.

The Lucid Lunar Lake was one of the most important treasures of the Qi Clan. Outsiders were allowed to observe it, but outsiders were not allowed to enter it. Yet, not only did the other party enter the lake, he even caused such a huge commotion, threatening to cause an explosion. This was unforgivable!

“What’s going on?”

The head of the Qi Clan harrumphed angrily.

He had just returned to his residence to study the formula of the Beauty Pill when he suddenly felt a surge of energy. How could he possibly hold himself back?

Knowing that this was a golden opportunity, Qi Xun-er hurriedly clasped her fist and pointed forward. “Clan head, it’s Qi Ling-er. She actually allowed an outsider to enter the Lucid Lunar Lake …”

The head of the Qi Clan turned his gaze over and saw a young man sitting in the middle of the lake. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was trying to resist the energy coming from the lake.

“Preposterous!”

Seeing that an outsider had really entered the Lucid Lunar Lake and was even cultivating in it, the head of the Qi Clan was so furious that he nearly exploded on the spot. “How audacious! Men, arrest her and send her to the Punishment Bureau! She has revealed the secrets of the clan and colluded with an outsider. There’s no need to interrogate her, just strip her of her identity as a core disciple! ”

He had harbored some goodwill toward the young lady, but who could have thought that she would actually commit such a despicable act?

“Yes!”

Qi Xun-er’s eyes lit up as she rushed over to Qi Ling-er’s side.

Hearing the footsteps, Qi Ling-er finally noticed the crowd, and her face paled in fright. She hurriedly kneeled to the ground.

“Hehe, Qi Ling-er, you’re the one who’s courting death.

You can’t blame me for this … “Qi Xun-er was still thinking about how she could make up for the humiliation she had suffered earlier, but who could have thought that the fellow would actually do such a despicable thing? Chuckling coldly, Qi Xun-er raised her hand, intending to take Qi Ling-er down. However, a moment later, she suddenly felt a powerful aura descending from the sky.

Raising her head, she saw an old man descending from the sky with an aura that could crush the heavens.

The old man was dressed in a coarse hemp robe, and he had a white beard. His eyes were sharp as lightning, and as he floated in the air, the space around him began to tremble slightly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

“Paying respects to the old ancestor!”

Qi Xun-er’s face paled as she hurriedly kneeled down.

The head of the Qi Clan and the others also kneeled down.

The old man was no other than the strongest old ancestor of the Qi Clan, Conferred God King Qi Meng!

“What’s going on?” Qi Meng asked with narrowed eyes.

“Old ancestor, an outsider has entered the Lucid Lunar Lake. I’ll take him out right now,” Qi Xun-er said as she clasped her fist.

If even the old ancestor was alarmed, no one would be able to save Qi Ling-er anymore.

“An outsider?”

Perplexed, Old Ancestor Qi Meng turned to look at the Lucid Lunar Lake, and with a single glance, his eyes narrowed in astonishment. Following which, his body swayed weakly, and he kneeled onto the ground.

“Conferred God King Qi Meng of the Sky of Drifting Specter pays respect to …”

“… God Monarch!”

(Two-in-one, just one chapter today!)
