Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Yamamoto Ryuge was one of the dozens of Core Formation Realm experts from the Yamamoto family who entered the Jade Platform Island Secret Realm this time.

His cultivation level has reached the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm.

Moreover, his identity is quite extraordinary; he belongs to one of the main branches of the Yamamoto family.

If he can raise his cultivation to the peak of the Core Formation Realm during this trip to the secret realm of Jade Platform Island.

The family would then promise him a chance to become a Grandmaster, reaching the upper three ranks.

As long as he can reach the Grandmaster level.

This would give them the opportunity to travel to the Desolate State of the Divine Dynasty and establish a new branch.

Yamamoto Ryuichi was his younger brother, who died recently because of Gu Chen in Yuehai County, Huangzhou.

The family has now given a death order to everyone who enters the Jade Terrace Island secret realm.

This time, everyone has a mission when entering the Jade Terrace Island Secret Realm: no matter what, we must kill Gu Chen, the head of the Yuehai County Lihuo Prefecture Night Watch Division of the Divine Dynasty Night Watch Division.

This person has caused continuous losses to his family.

If he doesn't die, it will be difficult to establish a stronghold in Yuehai County; he must die.

Yamamoto Ryuki had made up his mind.

If Gu Chen had managed to hide well in the secret realm and not be captured by the powerful members of his Yamamoto family, he would have escaped with his life by sheer luck.

After leaving the secret realm, he volunteered to go to Yuehai County. No matter what, he was determined to kill Gu Chen.

To avenge his brother.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen continued his search for rare and precious materials.

They obtained two more medicinal herbs, one of which was a Blood Spirit Mushroom, worth over a thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, follow the clues provided by the copper bowl.

He finally caught up with the closest member of the Yamamoto family.

Gu Chen, from behind, used his externally projected divine soul power to capture information about Yamamoto Ryuge.

"He's only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm." Gu Chen looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, the first powerful member of the Yamamoto family he encountered after tracking down the group was quite strong.

Core Formation Realm experts are among the most powerful people who enter the secret realm.

It's better to be stronger, because stronger people will definitely have more silver and elixirs.

Gu Chen chased after him directly.

In front.

Yamamoto Ryuuketsu felt himself being locked onto by the power of the divine soul, and immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with horror.

Having reached the Core Formation stage, he could already sense the power of his soul, but he simply couldn't project it outwards.

Most experts below the Grandmaster level, although they have begun to nurture their souls and strengthen their soul power, rarely release it outwards.

Most people have to wait until they break through to the Grandmaster realm, build a spiritual platform in their divine sea, and stabilize their spiritual foundation.

Therefore, he could only feel that he was locked in by the power of the soul.

In his view, only Grandmaster-level experts could unleash the power of the soul, and he secretly cursed his bad luck.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the secret realm, they were targeted by an unknown Grandmaster-level expert.

I don't know if this person is a friend or foe.

Those who entered the secret realm of Yutai Island this time.

People from within the Divine Dynasty's territory accounted for roughly two-thirds of the forces.

The remaining third consisted of independent cultivators, members of the Western Royal Court, the Northern Barbarians, and various forces from their island nation.

He only hoped that he wouldn't encounter any official institutions of the Divine Dynasty or people from some transcendent forces.

Otherwise, these people might have killed him and taken his things directly.

Those transcendent figures within the Divine Dynasty felt no guilt whatsoever for killing the islanders.

soon.

Gu Chen then came up behind him.

He turned to look at Gu Chen, a rogue cultivator.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

If we're talking about those within the Divine Dynasty who don't feel much belonging to it, it's these independent cultivators.

These independent cultivators generally wouldn't provoke the Yamamoto family.

Gu Chen looked at him with some surprise. This guy looked very similar to Yamamoto Ryuichi, who had been killed by Zhong Hong before.

Could he be Ryuichi Yamamoto's older brother or something?

Gu Chen drew the Blood-Transforming Blade.

Who cares who he is, just kill him first.

The man was dressed as a monk from an island nation, indicating that he had not followed the clues from the copper bowl and had chosen the wrong person; killing him would suffice.

Upon seeing Gu Chen draw his sword, Yamamoto Ryuge was greatly alarmed and immediately said, "Sir, I am a member of the Yamamoto family of Japan. I have no intention of making an enemy of you. The grudges between the Divine Dynasty and Japan should not be involved in our group of independent cultivators, or yours. I urge you to grant me this favor!"

Of course.

He hadn't finished speaking.

Then Gu Chen moved.

The four extraordinary phenomena were activated: the four illusory figures of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared behind Gu Chen, their power terrifying.

This directly boosted Gu Chen's aura to the peak of the Core Formation Realm.

Then he unleashed a slash.

The first of the Nine Blood-Transforming Cuts: Blood stains a thousand peaks!

The terrifying Blood-Transforming Blade Intent merges with the power of the divine soul.

The surrounding sky seemed to be stained red with blood, and the gale roared, as if thousands of mountain peaks were stained red by the blood-red light brought by this slash.

The terrifying destructive power contained in this strike would make even a Grandmaster-level early stage expert's scalp tingle.

Gu Chen would not make a move unless absolutely necessary.

His first move was aimed at finishing off his opponent with a single strike.

Anything could have happened in these ruins.

There's no need to waste words with these islanders.

Yamamoto Ryuge abruptly stopped himself from saying anything to Gu Chen to let him go, and drew his Japanese samurai sword.

With a burst of energy, he drew his sword to resist.

The God of Slaughter is slain in a single strike!

A single blade of light, piercing through heaven and earth, flashed with a blood-gold radiance, heading straight for Gu Chen's strike!

This is the strongest killing fourth-grade martial art he has mastered.

If perfected, it can condense the killing intent of the God of Slaughter, threatening even the Grandmaster realm.

Unfortunately, he is only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm and has not yet had time to cultivate this fourth-grade martial art to perfection.

Currently, he has only mastered this martial art to the advanced level.

With his mid-stage Core Formation realm cultivation, he could only unleash the power of the late-stage Core Formation realm.

boom!

The two men's swords clashed.

The sword intent swept across the surrounding area, severing all the large trees that could be embraced by arms.

Yamamoto Ryuuke's single-word sword light was extinguished by Gu Chen's sword, and then Gu Chen's sword fell directly on him.

Cut him in two from head to toe.

Even the katana he had used to block his head at the last moment was cut in two.

Yamamoto Ryuge's body was split in two and exploded to both sides, spraying blood mist in all directions and spilling internal organs all over the ground.

He died quite decisively.

Gu Chen sheathed his sword.

Looking at Yamamoto Ryuuketsu's gruesome death in front of him, he thought to himself that the sword strike had been too fierce.

It cleaved the Japanese man's katana in two. The katana was probably a top-grade Xuan-level treasure weapon, worth a lot of silver.

wasted.

He originally intended to test the power of the Nine Blood-Transforming Blades.

I didn't expect it to be so effective on the first try.

Indeed, the weapon he is currently using is a top-grade Earth-rank weapon, which was once a treasure that could potentially reach the half-step Heaven-rank level.

In addition, he unleashed martial arts techniques with the power to reach the level of a grandmaster.

It was impossible for this island nation's Core Formation Realm expert to withstand the attack by using a Xuan-level treasure weapon and a fourth-grade martial art.

Gu Chen stepped forward, suppressing his nausea, and began to grope him.

Hopefully, his silver and other valuables won't be damaged by the knife he just stabbed.

Otherwise, it would be an even greater loss.

After some exploration.

Fortunately.

None of the valuables he was carrying were damaged.

Gu Chen found over 12,000 taels of silver, two fourth-grade Golden Pills, and several spiritual herbs on him.

And a martial arts manual.

"What a penniless wretch!" Although he wasn't hurt, Gu Chen was speechless. It was only a little over 12,000 taels of silver.

A fourth-grade Core Formation Realm expert must have a net worth of at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

That's all the money he has left!

What Gu Chen didn't know was...

It wasn't that Yamamoto Ryuuke ​​wasn't wealthy; it's just that he didn't bring most of his wealth into the secret realm.

Silver is useless in the secret realm; if they die by accident, it might even benefit someone else.

Therefore, most people who enter the secret realm will choose to leave most of their silver and important items outside to preserve their wealth.

This way, even if they are robbed in the secret realm, they won't lose all their belongings.

Gu Chen collected all of Yamamoto Ryuge's belongings; less is less, but something is better than nothing.

At least the thousand taels of silver spent on exchanging his information were recouped.

The few medicinal herbs he found were worth one or two thousand taels of silver.

The most valuable items were the two Grade 4 Golden Elixirs he possessed, worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Secondly, there's that secret manual.

It was the fourth-grade secret manual of the Yamamoto family of the island nation that he was practicing, the God of Slaughter One-Slash Slash.

Gu Chen looked at the manual and pondered for a moment, then a thought popped into his mind.

They disposed of Yamamoto Ryuge's body.

Gu Chen left quickly.

It was almost evening.

After entering the secret realm today, he has been sending out his divine soul to search for spiritual herbs.

It left him feeling extremely exhausted, as if his head was about to explode.

He couldn't continue doing this anymore.

He usually uses his spiritual power to assist in alchemy, refining five batches of pills over ten hours.

He was extremely tired.

Not to mention the kind of power that involves projecting one's divine soul power to near its limit, constantly monitoring where there might be spiritual herbs.

He needs to rest today.

Fortunately, it will be evening soon.

There's no better time to find elixirs than during the day.

I'll find a place to rest tonight and let my mind and spirit recover.

I'll settle accounts with the rest of the Yamamoto family tomorrow.
