A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

She had just snatched three Xuanhuang Fruits from the seven sects of cultivators. If she went to the treasure vault now, she would definitely become the target of everyone's anger.

Although she wasn't afraid, she couldn't be sure if Liang Xuance and Lou Miaoyin had any other schemes up their sleeves, so she had to wait and see.

Su Chun is quite Zen-like when it comes to opportunities; she takes what she can and lets go of what she can't, because life is the most important thing.

Moreover, the items in the treasure vault were mostly taken by their respective sects.

The reason why the seven sects had their powerful disciples hide their identities was mainly for the treasure in the vault.

For this year's Lingyuan Blessed Land, they deliberately had their outstanding disciples suppress their cultivation levels and not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so that they could come to Lingyuan Blessed Land specifically to seize treasures.

But there is actually another way to allow cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage to enter the Lingyuan Blessed Land.

That is to seal one's cultivation level, using a special secret method to seal one's cultivation level down to the Qi Refining stage. As long as one does not use power beyond the Qi Refining stage, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can enter.

However, although the Nascent Soul experts from the seven sects did not show up, they were actually all outside Lingyuan Blessed Land, monitoring the other party to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.

However, it's not so certain for Core Formation cultivators. Veteran Core Formation cultivators certainly cannot hide their identities to enter blessed lands, but some newly promoted Core Formation cultivators may still be able to sneak in.

The seven factions were already fighting amongst themselves, so they just didn't openly break ties.

They can't possibly follow the rules completely.

And so, the first day of the battle came to an end, and at least 30% of the cultivators who entered the treasure vault were killed or wounded.

A few died at the hands of demonic beasts, while the majority perished in the struggle for opportunities.

The casualties among the seven factions were relatively small, but each faction still suffered at least a dozen to thirty casualties.

This number of deaths is still within their acceptable range.

After leaving the area where the Xuanhuang Fruit was located, Su Chun found a safe place that night to subdue the Gold-Eating Bees.

To subdue the Gold-Eating Bees, you must first find the queen bee in the hive, then use your divine power to suppress and enslave her, and then you will be able to control the entire bee colony.

If Su Chun only possessed a Qi Refining level of divine consciousness, it would be impossible for him to enslave the queen bee.

Fortunately, Su Chun possessed the divine sense of the peak Foundation Establishment stage, while the queen bee of a first-tier Gold Devouring Bee swarm could generally only withstand the divine sense invasion of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Su Chun's divine sense entered the beehive and quickly searched within it, soon finding a larger and more exquisite Gold-Eating Bee.

This gold-eating bee is attacking the ice surrounding it.

"Got you."

Su Chun unleashed her full divine power and rushed into the body of the Gold-Eating Bee Queen.

Her divine sense transformed into strips of moon-white silk, which chased after the consciousness of the Queen of the Gold-Eating Bees within the Gold-Eating Bees' sea of ​​consciousness.

The queen bee, the Gold-Eating Bee, struggled desperately to escape, but was eventually caught by the white silk ribbon.

After trapping the opponent, Su Chun began to refine it with her divine sense, and soon she completely tamed it.

In this way, the gold-devouring bee swarm became her tool.

These strange insects can advance in rank. As long as they are provided with suitable nutrients, they can even advance to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage.

After controlling the Gold-Eating Bee swarm, Su Chun's true purpose was about to be revealed.

She carefully opened the nest of the gold-eating bees. As the nest was opened, something golden was revealed inside, and a rich fragrance wafted out.

This is Su Chun's true target: the honey from the Gold-Eating Bee.

This Xuanhuang fruit tree also flowers, and these gold-devouring bees possess the same characteristics as ordinary honeybees—they collect nectar.

Their presence in the palace where the Xuanhuang Fruit Tree is located, and even their nesting there, indicates that something there attracts them.

Su Chun thought about it for a while, and now he is certain that the gold-devouring bees are there to feed on the pollen of the Xuanhuang tree flowers.

Sure enough, when the nest was opened, it was full of honey.

These honeys are permeated with the rich aroma of Xuanhuang fruit, and are probably even more potent than the medicinal properties of Xuanhuang fruit itself.

Moreover, after being processed by the Gold-Eating Bees, this Xuanhuang Flower Honey became even purer. Su Chun only dipped her finger in the honey and tasted it, and immediately felt as if she had drunk some powerful medicine. The power in her body circulated rapidly, and her cultivation level increased at a rapid pace.

More than once, a special force began to improve her physical condition.

"Haha! I've really struck gold! With this, I'm afraid I'll be breaking through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining soon."

Su Chun planned to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining in one go.

Anyway, she didn't plan to look for any more opportunities that night.

Once you break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the probability of obtaining a great opportunity will be much higher when you go to the treasure vault.

Su Chun cut off a large piece of Xuanhuang flower honey and then put it back into the hive. She couldn't take too much at once; she had to leave some for the gold-devouring bees.

After all, once they leave this place, there will be no more Xuanhuang flowers to make honey for them, and every little bit used will be less.

As Su Chun continued to refine the medicinal effects of the honey, his cultivation level increased at a visible rate. His meridians and dantian, where he stored power, also slowly expanded under the stimulation of the medicinal effects.

The expansion of her meridians allows Su Chun's internal energy to circulate faster, while the expansion of her dantian allows her to store more magical power.

This is the effect of Xuanhuang fruit on improving physical condition.

As for the improvement in cultivation level, that was purely the effect of the Gold-Eating Bee's processing.

Soon, the night passed and the day arrived.

Around eight or nine in the morning, a storm of spiritual energy spread out from Su Chun's gloomy cave.

Soon after, Su Chun also came out of the cave.

"Phew... I've reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment."

For the first time, Su Chun felt happy about breaking through his cultivation level; this trip had been worthwhile.

Originally, it would have taken her a year to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining at full speed, but now she has reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining in just one night.

To be honest, Ding Yuqin's identity was of great help to her.

Without Ding Yuqin's identity, relying solely on herself and everything Ding Yuqin had left behind, she couldn't have broken through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining so quickly.

"That's about enough. It's time to head to the treasure vault. Hopefully, even greater opportunities await me there."

Su Chun glanced at the location of the treasure vault, then summoned a magical artifact and flew over there.

On the way to the treasure vault, Su Chun changed his appearance, replacing his Xuan Yue Sect attire and using a disguise magic item to alter his appearance, transforming himself into a rogue cultivator.

After all, she robbed the Seven Sects yesterday. If those people saw her, even the people of the Xuan Yue Sect probably wouldn't tolerate her.

She'd better be cautious to avoid being targeted.

Chapter 25 Seven Sects Block the Way

The Lingyuan Treasure Vault is shaped like a pagoda, as if it were carved from a mountain peak hundreds of meters high, making it quite magnificent.

The entrance was a large gate covered in golden light, outside which many cultivators had gathered.

Most of the cultivators from the seven sects are here.

Su Chun disguised herself as an inconspicuous female cultivator and sneaked up behind the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on here? Why are you just watching from the outside and not going in?"

Seeing that a battle had broken out at the entrance of the treasure vault, Su Chun casually asked a young cultivator.

The young cultivator glanced at Su Chun and then spoke with a disgruntled expression.

"Look, the people from the Seven Sects are blocking the entrance here. They said that if we want to enter, we must defeat them at the same level first. Otherwise, we can wait until all of their people have gone in before we go in last. Do you see those corpses? Those were our fellow cultivators who tried to force their way through the gate and were killed by the people from the Seven Sects."

Su Chun glanced at the corpses lying around the gate. Judging from the residual aura on these corpses, their cultivation level was at least the twelfth level of Qi Refining when they were alive.

Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the disciples of the Seven Sects.

A rogue cultivator of the same realm would be at a great disadvantage if he tried to fight head-on against cultivators from the seven sects of the same realm.

The seven sects of cultivators killed these people purely to make an example of them.

Furthermore, the cultivators from the seven sects certainly knew more about the Lingyuan Blessed Land than the rogue cultivators, so they arrived at the entrance to the Lingyuan Treasure Vault before the rogue cultivators.

Given the domineering style of the Seven Sects, the fact that they allowed these rogue cultivators to enter the Lingyuan Blessed Land was already a concession for the sake of unity in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom.

If the seven sects were to monopolize everything in this blessed land of Lingyuan, it would only alienate the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom from the seven sects.

Therefore, each time the Lingyuan Blessed Land is opened, the seven sects notify the entire cultivation world in advance.

However, the seven sects will not easily allow them to enter the Lingyuan Treasure Vault. Although most rogue cultivators do not have the ability to obtain opportunities from it, what if they do?

However, they couldn't openly stop the independent cultivators, so they stood guard at the entrance. They didn't say they wouldn't let you in, but if you wanted to enter early, you had to defeat any disciple from the seven sects at the same cultivation level; otherwise, you'd have to wait.

You can call them domineering, but you can't really say that others are preventing you from entering. It's just that the cultivation world is one where the strong are respected and everything depends on strength.

At this moment, right in front of the entrance, a rogue cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining was fighting against a disciple of the Heavenly Blade Hall at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

This rogue cultivator was quite old, appearing to be around sixty-seven years old, and possessed extensive combat experience.

Holding a red wooden sword, she moved with exquisite skill, like a leaf falling in the wind, constantly attacking her opponent.

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Hall were struggling to cope, while the old man remained calm and composed.

Despite the fact that the old man's cultivation techniques and magical treasures were inferior to those of the Heavenly Blade Hall disciples, he was still able to suppress his opponent. This shows that even a rogue cultivator who has cultivated to the twelfth level of Qi Refining is no ordinary person.

"You old geezer, do you dare to fight me head-on? Stop being like a mosquito, constantly biting me."

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Hall were furious.

The opponent's attack was not strong, but his movements were extremely agile. By the time he wanted to counterattack, the old man had already disappeared from the spot.

After being harassed more than ten times, the Heavenly Blade Hall disciple became enraged. A burst of blood-red magic power erupted from the long blade in her hand, and a blade aura spread out.

This attack was very powerful and covered a wide area. The old man had no way to dodge it and could only quickly pour his magic power into his wooden sword.

However, as the opponent's blade energy struck his wooden sword, his low-grade magic weapon was instantly severed by the mid-grade magic weapon in the hands of the Heavenly Blade Hall disciple.

The old man looked at the weapon that had been with him for decades, his face full of heartache, and stopped fighting.

"I, I have lost."

The old man, looking utterly dejected, picked up his broken ritual implement.

"It's just a low-grade magic weapon made of firewood, is it really necessary to be so heartbroken?"

The disciple from the Heavenly Blade Hall made a sarcastic remark.

These words, when they reached the old man's ears, brought a bitter smile to his face, while the rogue cultivators around him were furious.
