...

In the mountain valley, Luo San and Tie Venerable both felt their wall of Spiritual Power being rammed several times.

"Judging by the Spiritual Power of this person, he should have just entered the Merging Realm," Luo San said.

"Could he be coming specifically for us?" Tie Venerable’s towering figure hunched as he asked.

They stole Celestial Medicine seeds, Elixir recipes, and Secret Manuals from the Upper Realm forces. Though hidden in this Small World, they still feared those from the Upper Realm might use special methods to find them.

Luo San sneered, "Why would they send someone who just entered the Merging Realm to find us? That’s practically sending him to his death."

"However, I didn’t expect to run into someone above the Tribulation Seed Realm in this Small World."

"Could he also be fleeing from the Upper Realm?"

"Usually, people like that might carry some decent items on them."

Luo San completely viewed Su Que from their own perspective.

They had just stolen Celestial Medicine seeds, Elixir recipes and Secret Manuals, which prompted their departure from the spiritual energy-rich Upper Realm to this place.

They stole the Celestial Medicine seeds, waiting for the Celestial Medicine to mature for Alchemy.

After consuming elixirs, their cultivation progressed faster here compared to relying on Spiritual Qi in the Upper Realm.

As Luo San finished his sentence, he suddenly felt Su Que’s spirit retreating like a tide.

"Is he trying to leave?"

Luo San’s eyes widened:

"Let’s go meet him and see which force he’s from and what items he might be carrying."

"Once we obtain everything, we’ll kill him to prevent him from revealing our location."

Saying this, Luo San waved his hand, infusing a stream of True Qi and spirit into the Alchemy fire pit.

The flame reduced significantly, refining the elixir in the furnace over a gentle fire. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Luo San immediately turned around, his toes tapped the ground, and his figure suddenly disappeared, rushing toward the cave entrance.

Seeing Luo San in action, Tie Venerable also tapped his toes, his figure vanished, floating in Luo San’s direction.

After they successively stepped out of the cave, despite barely moving their feet, the ground beneath them flew with sand and stones, floating toward the dense fog outside.

Luo San then removed the Small Iron Sword from his waist and tossed it into the air.

The Small Iron Sword instantly transformed into a brilliant silver light, paving the way ahead.

...

Outside the dense fog, after withdrawing his spirit, Su Que contemplated how he might enter the mountain valley to explore.

The spiritual wall blocked his spirit, preventing him from probing the inside situation.

With the dense fog within, he couldn’t ascertain the conditions nor determine any potential dangers.

Thus, Su Que decided to disperse the dense fog.

He immediately executed the Seven Injuries Fist, applying the fierce Heart-Damaging Technique, punching fiercely at the fog in front of him.

A forceful Fist Force erupted from his fist instantly.

The Fist Force pushed forward, creating a path through the dense fog covering the entire valley.

Immediately afterward, Su Que saw a scene of flying sand and rocks in the distance ahead.

Upon the flying sand and rocks, two tiny figures as small as grains were speeding toward him.

...

Seeing that this person could open a path through the fog with a single punch, Luo San and Tie Venerable were slightly startled.

However, they soon realized that this person was well-versed in Martial Arts.

They hailed from a Small World emphasizing techniques and magical artifacts.

Thus, they commonly relied on techniques and artifacts, their Spiritual Power was stronger than that of cultivators from Martial Arts-centric Small Worlds, whereas their physical bodies were somewhat lacking.

Tie Venerable reckoned this person’s physical body should be rather strong, feeling secretly pleased because he had an Elixir Recipe using another’s flesh as an ingredient.

Consuming this elixir could enhance the strength of his physical form.

Physical body and spirit essentially form one entity.

Despite prioritizing Spiritual cultivation, if the physical body lacks strength, Spiritual cultivation struggles to advance.

In these past decades, Tie Venerable’s spiritual progress had reached a bottleneck.

Thus, he crafted this elixir to boost his physical strength.

Upon seeing Su Que, Luo San and Tie Venerable effortlessly cooperated, simultaneously pointing toward Su Que!

Immediately, their iron swords transformed into two dazzling rainbows shot straight at Su Que!

Witnessing the incoming pair of iron swords emitting sinister Sword Qi stirring the surrounding fog, Su Que remained fearless, deploying the Seven Injuries Fist toward Luo San, launching a punch!

Suddenly, Luo San let out a painful cry, blood spurting from his seven apertures!

Having elevated the Seven Injuries Fist to the level of Upper Level Extremist Technique, Su Que wielded considerable power.

Furthermore, Su Que refined the Seven Injuries Fist to the 11th Realm Earth-Shattering 89%, nearing the 12th Realm, his might naturally impressive.

After releasing his punch, a horrifying invisible Fist Intent swiftly traversed miles, directly striking Luo San’s body.

In that instant, Luo San’s kidneys shattered due to Su Que’s Fist Intent!

Though Su Que tempered his strength, preventing his other viscera from destruction, they still bore scars, blood flowing freely.

Luo San, lacking prowess physically, suddenly having his kidneys explode, was rendered nearly unconscious from agony.

His sword, transformed into a rainbow, lost its brilliance, its momentum waning.

"Old San!"

Tie Venerable witnessed the adversary releasing a punch, blood erupting from Luo San’s apertures.

His spirit probe revealed Luo San’s kidneys shattered, causing him shock.

’This person’s Martial Arts, astonishingly strong!’

Tie Venerable’s heart surged with terror, yet he continued directing his sword at Su Que, disregarding Luo San, and immediately turned to flee.

The next moment, Su Que withdrew his previous punch and launched another!

The invisible Fist Intent crossed miles, colliding with Tie Venerable’s towering figure.

"Ah!"

Tie Venerable cried out like a bull, abruptly kneeling.

His kidneys, too, were shattered in an instant by Su Que’s Fist Intent.

Blood flowed profusely from his seven apertures.

After injuring the pair promptly, Su Que saw them collapse to the ground.

To guard against trickery, he obscured himself with Exotic Golden Bell Shield and Myriad Poison Body Protection Barrier, deploying Circulating Eight Forces and the Celestial Deformed Foot along with the Sunflower Manual, he sped toward the pair.

Upon reaching them, seeing them truly collapsed on the ground.

Infusing True Qi into their bodies, he confirmed their kidneys were indeed shattered, their other viscera severely harmed.

Instantly, feeling a stir within, the Lifebound Demon Seed in Su Que’s Dantian flared brilliantly, split into two Affiliated Demon Seeds, heading for their Dantian.

As the Affiliated Demon Seeds connected with their Essence Qi and Spirit in their Dantian.

Su Que used Telepathy, infiltrating their spirits.

Though their Spiritual Power surpassed Su Que’s.

The pain from their shattered kidneys, coupled with physical weakness, prevented them from mustering enough Spiritual Power to resist, thus allowing Su Que’s intrusion.

Shortly, Su Que acquired their memories.

Meanwhile, the Affiliated Demon Seeds connected with the pair’s Essence Qi and Spirit.

After absorbing their memories, knowing what the pair knew rendered them useless, he commanded the Affiliated Demon Seeds to withdraw.

The Affiliated Demon Seeds radiated violet brilliance, carried their Essence Qi and Spirit, and shot from their Dantian.

Su Que stored the Affiliated Demon Seeds within his Dantian, merging them with the Lifebound Demon Seed.

He clearly perceived minimal enhancement in his physical form, yet experienced substantial spiritual elevation.

Bereft of Essence Qi and Spirit, the duo’s bodies immediately transformed into colorless, pale corpses.

Su Que instantly waved a hand, capturing their Storage Pouches, releasing a stream of Myriad Poison True Qi to envelope them.

Their corpses promptly vanished completely.

From their memories, Su Que learned about a herb field in the heart of the valley.

Thus, adopting the Circulation of the Six Void Skill, he ventured deeper into the valley.

With Luo San’s Fogging Skill gone, the dense fog slowly dissipated.

Upon reaching the valley’s depths, Su Que immediately discovered fields of herbs.

The fields flourished with Celestial Medicine emitting rosy light and auspicious energy.

Thereafter, he entered the cave, encountering their Alchemy Furnace.

From their memories, Su Que knew they had obtained Alchemy Secret Manuals, concealed within Luo San’s Storage Pouch.

He planned to present the manuals to Elder Qingxuan to use the Celestial Medicine for concocting elixirs for him.
