Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Missing 2 of the 5 Elements (Seeking Subscriptions) "No..." Jii Haoran screamed in shock, his eyes fixated on the descending sword aura, unable to mount any form of resistance. Poof! The sword aura pierced through his body and embedded deeply in the ground. Endless essence qi quickly dissipated. Jii Haoran opened his mouth as if to say something, but his body swayed and he collapsed, ultimately saying nothing before dying completely. "Soul Energy +21152!" "It seems, in the end, I was the victor!" . Bai Ziyue stepped out from the pit, his face slightly pale, with a deep sword wound on his chest, exposing bone, clearly visible. Before he fully grasped the role of Divine Intent and underwent transformation, Jii Haoran’s strike had broken his protective golden light, causing severe injury. However, his stance remained tall and upright as he strode forward with steady steps, a demeanor of arrogance that suggested he looked down on the world. He paid no attention to the unusual and restless gazes around him, casually sweeping his eyes over Jii Haoran’s nearly naked corpse, which had left behind nothing but the long saber. "Let’s go!" With a wave of his hand, he summoned the long saber into his hand. Bai Ziyue called over the Little Black Dog, picked up the Heart-Burning Flame Spear that had previously fallen to the ground, and mounted the Little Black Dog’s back. "Roar!" The Little Black Dog roared fiercely and rapidly sped away in a direction far from East City County. The scene was dead silent! No one dared to stop him, nor did anyone dare to make a sound. Even when people heard about the Innate Pill, their minds were stirred, but seeing the lifeless body of the Righteous Sect’s Sect Leader on the ground, everyone was filled with dread. If even an Innate Realm powerhouse had died, how could they dare to show themselves? Even if Young Master Bai appeared heavily injured, with his strength, killing those who weren’t even in the Innate Realm would be like slaughtering dogs. So, everyone remained motionless. *Their hearts gradually filled with awe.* *A First-class Expert slaying an Innate Realm!* *If they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, they would have found it hard to believe.* *Truly, invincible.* "*He won, he really won!* *I knew it, I knew it. If he wasn’t confident, why would he have lingered?*" * *The young herb collector shouted inwardly, incredibly excited.* *Even though he had hoped for this outcome, when it actually happened in front of him, he was utterly shocked.* *His admiration for Bai Ziyue grew even more.* *He was determined to become a towering figure like Bai Ziyue, capable of slaying Innate Realm with First-class power, an unparalleled hero.* "*That strike had already surpassed the limits of what a First-class Expert could achieve.* *It reached a realm even Innate Realm powerhouses rarely attain.* *Jii Haoran, did not die unjustly.* *Before, I was truly short-sighted.*"* *The old herb collector widened his eyes and took a deep breath.* *Among everyone present, he was one of the few who could clearly see the battle and discern the subtlety of Bai Ziyue’s strike.* *But precisely because of this, his shock was all the more intense.* In his eyes, beyond astonishment, there was immense respect and a touch of awe for the strong. "*A First-class Expert slaying an Innate Realm, the Jianghu will be lively from now on.* "The Righteous Sect, is finished.* "Cough, cough!"free\novelhall.c o(m) In the depths of a cave, Bai Ziyue gently clutched his chest, his face extremely pale. His injury wasn’t serious, but the reason the torn flesh hadn’t healed was due to the foreign innate true qi lingering within, constantly damaging his flesh, preventing his skin from self-recovering. With his current strength and control over his flesh, even if left untreated, it would only take ten days to half a month to expel and extinguish the foreign innate power clinging to his flesh. However, not to mention the potential dangers he might face during such a long period, he himself was very interested in the innate true qi. So, after leaving East City County, he specifically sought out this cave to make use of its quiet environment to heal and carefully study the characteristics of the strands of innate true qi. The Invincible Golden Body Technique circulated, transforming entirely into golden inner strength, flowing like mercury, and poured into his chest. Instantly, a surge of innate true qi was enveloped by his inner strength. Under precise control, the golden inner strength quickly entangled with the innate true qi, beginning to wear it down. One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Soon, under the encasement of inner strength, that strand of innate true qi had been completely worn away. Bai Ziyue, carefully sensing the process, slightly furrowed his brows, a look of contemplation appearing on his face. After some thought, he again controlled his inner strength to extract another strand of innate true qi. Thus, after half an hour, Bai Ziyue finally showed a hint of realization on his face. "Indeed, Innate True Qi was not as simple as I previously imagined the transformation of Inner Strength to be, It also contained the power of Spiritual Will and a kind of Life Qi originating from the martial artist’s body. *Only by merging these three elements could such destructive and hard-to-expel Innate True Qi be formed.*" Bai Ziyue pondered slightly, having gained a deeper understanding of Innate Martial Artists. Regaining his composure, he immersed himself once again in expelling the Innate True Qi. Without the intent to explore further, this time was much quicker, and after several hours, the Innate True Qi within Bai Ziyue’s body was finally completely expelled. With this, Bai Ziyue’s body trembled, and his flesh shivered. In an instant, a layer of clotted blood was expelled from his wound. Under the surge of Qi and Blood, Life Energy spread, and Bai Ziyue’s flesh began to tremble rapidly, with tiny sprouts of flesh growing, starting to repair his injuries. Even the outermost layer of skin closed with his precise control. By then, wiping away the bloodstains from his chest, his body appeared as if it had suffered no injuries at all, smooth as a mirror, free from the previous shocking sight. Looking around, only a faint red mark vaguely showed a difference. "Next, after a day or two of nourishment, I’ll be fully recovered." Thinking this in his heart, Bai Ziyue raised his eyes and glanced at the Attribute Panel, revealing a hint of delight. "Soul Energy surged to over one hundred thousand points." Although the number of enemies slain in the previous battle was small, each was a powerful enemy. Three Second-class Experts, four First-class Experts, plus one Martial Arts Innate... Especially the Martial Arts Innate powerhouse, which astonishingly boosted his Soul Energy by more than twenty thousand, an unusually rich gain. This naturally caused his Soul Energy to soar. "Apart from Soul Energy, the biggest gain from this battle for me, besides strength, is this Heart-Burning Flame Spear." Turning his hand, a long spear appeared in his grasp. Feeling the blazing aura emanating from the spear, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but show a satisfied expression. Originally, he was hesitant and backed out of attacking Situ Ming, who possessed the spear, due to being wary of the Righteous Sect having Innate Realm Martial Artists. Who would’ve thought, the opponent sought his own doom and dared to strike at him. Bai Ziyue, though not one to stir trouble, was never afraid of it. As the opponent came to him, he naturally wasn’t polite and acted with no mercy. Thus, the Heart-Burning Flame Spear fell into his hands. "Besides the Heart-Burning Flame Spear, this long blade is also extraordinarily good, not inferior to the Heart-Burning Flame Spear in the slightest, a top-grade treasure blade, very valuable. However, for me, its utility is not that great." Immediately, Bai Ziyue took out a long blade. This blade naturally belonged to the Innate Realm Martial Artist, Jii Haoran, extremely sharp and extraordinary, with excellent conduction of Inner Strength, a rare item. However, he already possessed the Black God Saber and had no thoughts of changing weapons in the short term, hence he didn’t value this blade as much. Of course, it’s still a good blade, worth keeping as a spare. "Heart-Burning Flame Spear, Primordial Heavy Water, and Void Spirit Golden Crystal Stone. Combined, I now possess three treasures containing Innate Five Elements Qi. Only two more, and I’ll have all five treasures containing Innate Five Elements Qi, allowing me to open the Five Directions Spiritual Acupoints and officially begin practicing Five Directions Pure Essence Skill." Once again casting his gaze on the Heart-Burning Flame Spear, Bai Ziyue began to consider. How to quickly gather the remaining two treasures containing Five Elements Qi, one by one. "Got it!" Suddenly, Bai Ziyue felt a surge in his heart, flipping his hand, revealing a Jade Scroll Eye. This Jade Scroll Eye was precisely the map of Cultivator Markets given to him by the purple-clothed woman, Immortal Master Fan. It listed locations for over ten markets, all hubs for Immortal Cultivators, where good items certainly abounded, possibly including what he needed. Thinking of this, his Spiritual Power surged. In an instant, information within the Jade Scroll Eye flowed rapidly into his mind, and soon his brows rose, revealing a hint of delight. "Indeed, about a day’s travel away, there was a place called Dongxuan Market. This was a small market opened by Enlightenment Realm Cultivators, gathering dozens to hundreds of Immortal Cultivators annually, surely full of good items. I hoped there I would find what I needed." His gaze fixed, Bai Ziyue’s mind began to stir. Not only those two treasures containing Innate Qi, but he also hoped to gather information about the Sunrise Daoist Sect there. In his view, this was the most important matter at present. He needed to strategize for the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, Barrier-Breaking Pill, and Enlightenment Pill there. As for breaking through to Innate, having glanced at his wound, he decided to wait till complete recovery. Then, without hesitation, Bai Ziyue stood and mounted the Little Black Dog’s back again, heading towards the target destination.
