A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm? What war?

Fang Yuan: Haha, nothing.

KP: Fang Yuan waved his hand without saying anything more, and that meaningful smile appeared on his face again.

Fang Yuan: Since Junior Brother Xiao is so thoughtful, then as your senior brother, I will accept your kindness. I want this piece of century-old Yi wood.

Xiao Huohuo: Great!

KP: Fang Yuan took the Hundred Years Wood from your hand and blinked.

Fang Yuan: But... 2700 spirit stones is indeed too much. I only have about 2000 spirit stones on me right now. Junior Brother Xiao, can you replace the remaining spirit stones with elixirs or magical instruments? Let me think about it, how about a Spirit Gathering Pill and a low-grade magical instrument?

Xiao Huohuo: What low-grade magic weapon?

KP: Fang Yuan reached for the Qiankun bag at his waist, and several miniature magical instruments appeared in his hand, hovering above his palm. Looking closely, you discovered they were a red flying sword, a black stone mirror, and a green brocade pouch.

Fang Yuan: Here are one low-grade magic weapon each for attack, defense, and auxiliary. Junior Brother Xiao, please choose one.

Xiao Huohuo: Can I know their properties?

KP: Okay, then Fang Yuan will briefly describe the effects of these three magic tools to you.

[Red Sun Sword]: Fire, melee magic, increases swordsmanship skill success rate by 20%, increases damage by [2d6]. Mastering [Sword Control] unlocks ranged attacks.

[Haoyan Mirror]: Limited to 1 time per battle, can completely block one damage, with a maximum damage limit of 50.

[Shenmu Sachet]: Increases the amount of spiritual energy gained by 20%.

Joan of Arc: Sword, sword, sword! Brother, I want that sword!

Xiao Huohuo: Go away, you naughty sister. You don’t even know this sword exists. Stop playing.

Joan of Arc: Then don’t you think of showing some respect to me, your sister?

Xiao Huohuo: Haha, I can’t show any filial respect at all.

Joan of Arc: (Angry)

Xiao Huohuo: I have decided, I will choose [Divine Wood Sachet], and accumulate experience and upgrade in the early stage before I can win the battle.

KP: After hearing your choice, Fang Yuan showed an expression of "as expected" and handed the green sachet to you. You immediately felt refreshed and the flow of spiritual energy in your body increased a lot.

Fang Yuan: What a coincidence, this is the sect reward I received when I became an inner disciple. I have the opportunity to pass it on to you today. I hope you can become an inner disciple soon.

KP: Then, Fang Yuan handed you a small bag, which was heavily filled with 20 high-level spirit stones and a turquoise pill.

Xiao Huohuo: By the way, KP, I want to ask Brother Fang, can you sell me the [Red Sun Sword] separately? (laughs)

Joan of Arc: Huh?!

Fang Yuan: Haha, I didn’t realize Junior Brother Xiao was also interested in sword cultivation.

Xiao Huohuo: I’m not really interested, but I have a little sister who loves swords.

Joan of Arc: ...I'll bear it. (Half annoyed)

Fang Yuan: Since you really want it, I won't ask for much. How about 600 spirit stones for this [Red Sun Sword]?

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? Why do they seem to be 100 more expensive? Weren't these magic weapons only worth 500 spirit stones before?

Fang Yuan: Haha, before, I was out of spirit stones, so I had to sell the magic tool at a low price. But now that we are doing business, of course I have to sell it at the original price.

Han Buli: You are worthy of it.

Xiao Huohuo: BYD feels like a bit of a rip-off. Think about it, little sister, whether you want to buy it or not.

Jeanne: Buy it! I have a fear of insufficient firepower, and the money will come from my share of spirit stones!

Xiao Huohuo: Walking slowly.

Han Buli: By the way, Lao Xiao, can you ask if the [Haoyan Mirror] is for sale? It seems to be quite useful.

Xiao Huohuo: Then let me ask.

Fang Yuan: 700 spirit stones.

Han Buli: That’s okay.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn profiteer!

KP: So, Xiao Huohuo spent 6 high-level spirit stones to buy the [Red Sun Sword]. After receiving the spirit stones, Fang Yuan's face also showed a little more smile.

Xiao Huohuo: Oh, Brother Fang, about the time I sold you the Hundred Years Yi Wood...

KP: Before you could finish, Fang Yuan smiled knowingly.

Fang Yuan: Haha, wealth shouldn't be flaunted. You're just a lowly cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, holding so many spirit stones would easily draw envy. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you, Senior Brother.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s settled.

KP: The transaction is complete, and Fang Yuan has returned to his position. Xiao Huohuo, you may begin your immortal arts training. However, since you previously spent 1 action point in the Sutra Library, your gains from this training will be reduced by 20%.

Xiao Huohuo: By the way, KP, can you arrange an opponent for me to fight against? Does anyone know anyone in the arena?

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: Yes.

Romeo: Is it Xiaonan? (alert)

KP: No, it’s Lin Yuxuan.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s this buddy.

Romeo: Lin Yuxuan, who is that?

KP: A few days ago, BYD was still yelling about how arrogant he was and how much he loved me! (See Chapter 17 for details). Now you don't remember, right? (Half annoyed)

Romeo: Yes, is there? (Confused)

Jeanne: KP, what do you expect from a guy whose head is full of dirty trash?

KP: Sorry, my my. Anyway, Xiao Huohuo noticed that this disciple, who entered the sect at the same time as you, was practicing immortal arts on a wooden stake. His upright posture and clean and neat movements were refreshing just by looking at him. He was indeed as majestic as his name.

KP: The next second, as if noticing your gaze, Lin Yuxuan stopped moving, turned his head to look at you, thought for a moment, and then revealed a gentle but arrogant smile.

Lin Yuxuan: If I remember correctly, you seem to be Xiao Huohuo, a first-class disciple who started at the same time as me.

Xiao Huohuo: You have a pretty good memory.

Lin Yuxuan: Haha, I basically recognize all the A-level disciples who entered the sect at the same time as me.

KP: Lin Yuxuan smiled faintly.

Lin Yuxuan: However, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

Xiao Huohuo: What do you mean?

Lin Yuxuan: The outer sect competition is about to begin. From now on, the inner and outer sects will be separated. There is no need for me to waste time on people who I will not have any contact with in the future, right?

KP: Unlike Sima Wu's arrogance and domineering attitude, although Lin Yuxuan's words are also quite arrogant, Xiao Huohuo, you can feel that he has no intention of targeting you. From beginning to end, Lin Yuxuan's words and deeds reveal his good upbringing, and his tone is calm, as if he is just stating the facts.

Xiao Huohuo: From the sound of your voice, you are almost certain to win the outer sect competition this time?

Lin Yuxuan: I never do anything that I am not 100% sure of.

Romeo: Damn, he's so arrogant, I love him!

Joan of Arc: You are in love again.

Han Buli: No, this guy is really good at pretending.

Xiao Huohuo: I think so too. I can't stand this kind of pretentious guy. I want to tell him, buddy, I think you're pretty bored here doing this alone, do you want to fight me?

Han Buli: If you show off, I’ll make you fly!

KP: After hearing what you said, Lin Yuxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little confused, but also a little curious.

Lin Yuxuan: You want to practice with me?

Xiao Huohuo: This is a fighting arena, so of course I need to find someone to practice with. Or are you actually socially anxious? Do you prefer to practice alone?

KP: Facing your deliberate provocation, Lin Yuxuan was not angry but still smiled.

Lin Yuxuan: But you are only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Xiao Huohuo: What's wrong with the second level of Qi Refining? The last person who looked down on me for my low level in the competition was struck by a bolt of lightning from me and was left speechless!

Joan of Arc: Han Ning'er: Indeed.

Lin Yuxuan: Okay, since you are so confident, I will play a game with you... But I have to correct one thing.

KP: With that, Lin Yuxuan turned and slowly walked towards you. With each step, his aura suddenly increased. By the time he was ten meters away from you, the overwhelming spiritual energy was already overwhelming you, making it difficult for you to breathe.

Lin Yuxuan: It’s not that I like to practice alone, but after a few competitions, no one is willing to practice with me recently.

Han Buli: Thump thump thump.

Xiao Huohuo: Yes, right?

KP: Lin Yuxuan’s realm is… the fourth level of Qi Refining!

044 All Swords End (Day 18)

Xiao Huohuo: Niu Mo is at the fourth level of Qi Refining. You bastard KP, did you give him hormones to make him level up so quickly?

KP: (Hands on hips) Don’t blame society for your bad luck. They won’t tear up your cards anyway. Just take the beating and it will be fine.

Xiao Huohuo: (Angry)

Han Buli: Don't panic, Lao Xiao. Challenging opponents of higher levels is your strong point. You have a hidden buff.

Romeo: Does the hidden buff mean defeating the older one after defeating the younger one?

Joan of Arc: Music.

Xiao Huohuo: You are not allowed to laugh!

……

KP: Fight back!

KP: Attack order: Lin Yuxuan > Xiao Huohuo. Due to level suppression, Xiao Huohuo's overall skill damage is -20.

KP: First round.

Lin Yuxuan: Broken Dragon Sword Power (long-range), 48/90, success.

Gold spiritual root bonus, 87/90, success.

KP: Surging golden spiritual power surged out of Lin Yuxuan's body, transforming into countless feet-long flying swords surrounding him. Then, Lin Yuxuan waved his sword finger, and the flying swords were guided to form a ferocious dragon shape in the air, rushing towards Xiao Huohuo.

Xiao Huohuo: Counter the Thunder Curse, 79/(100-20), success.

Thunder Spirit Root bonus, 44/(70-20), success.

Xiao Huohuo: Exciting!

KP: At the critical moment, Xiao Huohuo raised his finger to the sky, and the thunder broke through the air and hit the dragon's sword flow directly. In an instant, a roar was heard. Under the impact of the sword flow, the thunder turned into countless lightning snakes attached to the flying sword, and the repulsive magnetic field generated by the metal's conduction instantly destroyed and dispersed the tight sword flow.

残龙剑势伤害：【6d5：5、4、2、3、3、1】x1.3=23

落雷咒伤害：（【1d5：5】+5）x1.3x1.3=16

KP: However, even after dissolving the Canlong Sword's power, there were still a few unfinished sword lights that broke through the air and left several blood marks on Xiao Huohuo's body.

Xiao Huohuo's HP: 23-7=16

Xiao Huohuo: Not my buddy? Attribute restraint + maximum damage can't even beat him, and he's still fighting against the Bull Demon!

KP: Compared to Xiao Huohuo's madness, Lin Yuxuan on the other side raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.

Lin Yuxuan: Being able to block this attack, you are worthy of me remembering your name, Xiao Huohuo.

Xiao Huohuo: BYD is still pretending, I'm going to fight him! (annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: Fiery Step, 8/(42-20), success.

Han Buli: Wow? Is there really a hidden buff?

KP: So, perhaps stimulated by the high-pressure environment, Xiao Huohuo's microcosm suddenly exploded, and spiritual energy madly wandered in his meridians. The next second, a scorching breath emerged, and two leaping flames emerged from under Xiao Huohuo's feet. His whole aura also rose steadily, almost able to compete with Lin Yuxuan.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay! This time I'm going to make sure this kid never forgets my bad temper!

Romeo: Hiss... it smells like gay...
