Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

After the elders finished dealing with the disciples who had escaped back.

Wen Tianhe hovered in the center of the square, turning Kuangdao, Mo Lao, and his recently deceased disciple into blood mist, which he then swallowed in front of everyone.

Many disciples, witnessing this horrifying scene, felt their stomachs churning and their hearts heavy with unease.

Although Chen Xu also felt a little nauseous, his unease had largely dissipated.

After all, Wen Tianhe had gone to great lengths to successfully form his core and had also eliminated the two greatest enemies of the Cold Pine Sect.

They would naturally not target the disciples of the sect now.

Moreover, Chen Xu guessed that Wen Tianhe was trying to rebuild his prestige and solidify the foundation of the sect at this time.

The resources available to the disciples in the sect will likely see a significant improvement.

The leader of this faction has the power to mobilize enormous resources, and Wen Tianhe has no reason to give up this identity.

At this moment, Wen Tianhe's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a gentle voice:

"The fact that you are still alive and standing here... suggests that you are either loyal to the sect or intelligent individuals."

Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu felt a little guilty.

Wen Tianhe paused for a moment, then continued:

"Now that I have achieved the Core Formation stage, I shall naturally protect the sect and uphold the prestige of my Cold Pine Sect."

"Effective immediately, all disciples will receive three times the cultivation resources."

"At the end of each season, you can also receive a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills!"

As soon as Wen Tianhe finished speaking, the disciples looked at each other in surprise, and then cheered.

The previous fears seemed to have been somewhat mitigated by these tangible benefits.

Although the conditions were good, Chen Xu still felt something was missing.

But then, Wen Tianhe spoke again, revealing even more bombshell news:

"In addition, I have already refined the meditation cave of that Core Formation cultivator into a magic treasure."

"It will serve as a trial ground within the sect, open twice a year."

Then, Wen Tianhe continued, "The sect has already placed many rare and precious materials inside the cave."

"Every year at the end of summer, this event is open to outer sect disciples. The top five participants will each receive a Breakthrough Pill!"

"At the end of the year, the event will be open to inner disciples, and the top three winners will each receive a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

These words shocked everyone present.

At this moment, Wen Tianhe raised his hand and unleashed a stream of light, instantly raising a small mountain peak from the ground.

It must be a magical artifact refined in the cave where that Core Formation cultivator passed away.

"This first trial is scheduled for January from now. Everyone, prepare yourselves well!"

After saying that, Wen Tianhe's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xu's eyes were also filled with surprise.

Needless to say, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a renowned treasure in the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world, countless tragedies and casualties occur every year in the struggle for Foundation Establishment Pills.

It can be considered a powerful weapon for Qi Refining cultivators.

Although this Breakthrough Pill is not as precious as the Foundation Establishment Pill, it still has quite a background.

It is used to break through minor bottlenecks.

Especially for someone like Chen Xu with poor spiritual root aptitude, breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining through his own efforts is, in a word, difficult!

Chen Xu has been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for almost a year.

If Chen Xu could take a Breakthrough Pill, he would be 90% certain that he could advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining and extract a new Hextech Rune.

However, neither Foundation Establishment Pills nor Yuan Breakthrough Pills are rarely seen in the Nanjiang area. They almost always originate from other major states.

At least before, Chen Xu had never been able to find out any information about the Breaking Yuan Pill while he was at Hansong Sect.

The formulas for these strategic elixirs were strictly controlled by the major powers of those states.

Naturally, cultivators like Lin Miaoyin, who have no background, have no chance of finding her.

With the year drawing to a close, this first trial is open to inner disciples.

Although Chen Xu disliked fighting, he was still determined to fight for the Breaking Yuan Pill.

However, let's wait until the inner sect trial is over and find out more before making a decision.

……

After returning to the fishpond, Chen Xu first released Xiao Jin.

After spending half a day in the Beast Taming Ring, Little Vajra fell into the fishpond and happily spun around in the water.

The other large blackfish in the pond scattered in panic, like sheep encountering wolves, not daring to approach Xiao Jin even a little bit.

Upon arriving at the cultivation room, Chen Xu neither cultivated nor drew talismans, but instead fell into deep thought.

There are still more than half a year until the outer sect trial. My attack methods are limited, so I need to think of a solution.

We can't rely solely on stealth and movement techniques to win in the trials, can we?

Chen Xu's only trump card right now is to directly attack the soul of others with his divine sense.

With Chen Xu's current spiritual power, there are probably very few Qi Refining cultivators who could withstand him.

He originally intended to use this method to secretly eliminate Zhang Erniu.

But now that Wen Tianhe has just advanced to the Core Formation stage, it's not appropriate for me to make a move.

If they investigate the entire doorway, it will be troublesome.

During the trials, one cannot directly use the power of divine sense.

The entire cave had been refined by the sect master, so naturally, he couldn't escape Wen Tianhe's discerning eyes when he attacked with his divine sense power inside.

Therefore, I still need to find a way to improve my offensive capabilities...

Fortunately, the trial does not prohibit the use of talismans and magical artifacts, and participants are responsible for their own lives, so there is still a possibility that I can eliminate Zhang Erniu during the trial.

"I remember there was a book called 'Concentrating the Mind' in the library inside the gate."

"Although it's somewhat useless to me, it can at least conceal my divine sense power, which far surpasses that of others of the same level..."

When Chen Xu was choosing a cultivation technique, he was attracted to this "Concentration Thorn".

After observing the effects, I found that this method could only mobilize a limited amount of spiritual power and was expensive, so I abandoned it.

Unexpectedly, it has now become Chen Xu's best choice.

Although the Concentration Strike mobilized a considerable amount of spiritual power, it was still within a reasonable range.

Even if someone finds out, it won't be a problem.

As for other offensive techniques... since we lack the talent, we should simply give them up.

The wise do not use their weaknesses.

Moreover, in the later stages, the higher the limit of a technique, the higher the requirements for spiritual sense.

Chen Xu wasn't in a hurry.

……

Early the next morning.

After feeding the fish, Chen Xu hurriedly went to the Sutra Repository.

The Sutra Repository is located in the center of the main peak, adjacent to the inner gate and the Elders' Hall.

The pavilion faintly glowed with spiritual light, clearly indicating that it was protected by powerful protective barriers.

Chen Xu pushed open the heavy door, and a scent mixed with old books and a faint sandalwood fragrance wafted towards him.

The interior of the pavilion was dimly lit, with rows of tall bookshelves neatly arranged, piled high with jade slips, scrolls, and bamboo slips of various colors.

Inside the doorway sat an elderly man with white hair and beard.

It was the Foundation Establishment Elder who was in charge of guarding the Sutra Repository.

He was holding a yellowed ancient book, not looking up, and said calmly, "Identity jade token."

Chen Xu respectfully handed over his identity jade token and bowed, saying, "Elder Zhao, this disciple would like to borrow 'The Concentrated Thorn' for a reading."

Elder Zhao finally looked up from the ancient book and glanced at Chen Xu in surprise.

He took the identity jade token, glanced at it, and then reached behind him to retrieve a bamboo scroll from the bookshelf, placing it on the table along with the jade token.

"Three hundred low-grade spirit stones."
