The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 764 - 424: High Energy Consumer_2

"I was too careless just now, I shouldn’t have gotten injured," he said in a light tone, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure. This girl’s strength had surged recently, and so had her confidence, causing her to act less cautiously than before. Otherwise, she could have dodged that malicious strike just now.

"My mistake, it won’t happen again!" she admitted her fault with a good attitude. The assassination attempt they encountered this morning had been expected by both of them. How could those who were dead set against Jiu Mo leave her to treat the Blood Parasol? Despite the low probability of successful treatment in anyone’s eyes, what if she did succeed? Wouldn’t that turn the tables for Jiu Mo temporarily? This was something the hidden mastermind could not tolerate.

Therefore, the best chance to stop her was this morning. She intentionally slowed down along the way to give the opportunity to the other party. But as Changtian said, she was too confident in herself and careless, which is why she failed to evade the first strike! The black-clothed man gathered all his strength for the attack, moving with incomparable speed and without revealing the slightest hint of killing intent. His sword strike was as refreshing and reinvigorating as a spring breeze, eerily reminiscent of the first strike Miluo used to lay the ambush against the Plague Demon.

Back then, she was pondering how to dodge such an attack, not expecting to actually face such a situation only a few months later. She narrowly avoided the sword, but her attacker managed to cut her leg in the process. However, as good as she got, she quickly returned the favor with a deadly counter-move.

"Rest well these five days." The wound had basically healed, with new tender and hydrated skin forming. Changtian held her in his arms and kissed her forehead, "Things will be quite complicated once we go out."

"What’s the rush, we have five days to make arrangements," she said, pulling out a lotus flower from the spoils of battle. The flower had six petals, pure white like jade, with just a hint of crimson at the tips. The moment the flower was revealed, a faint fragrance filled the room. "Hidden Stream actually has the Nine-Revolution Lotus; it’s really surprising." Due to the need to heal the Blood Parasol, the soil cannot be used to cultivate other crops for the time being, so there’s no rush to plant this batch of Spiritual Medicine. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This lotus flower is the main ingredient in refining the Immortal Pill, Nine-Turned Rebirth Lotus. The best Nine-Revolution Lotus has nine petals and can refine a true Nine-Turn Pill. The one she had with only six petals could vastly increase the survival chances for a great power in the Early Stage Tribulation Crossing, such as Bai Qing from Chaoyun Sect, to forcibly compress his cultivation six times to attempt Crossing Tribulation. If brought to the outside world, it would cause cultivators across the Continent to fight tooth and nail for it.

"Counting all the treasures you squeezed out of Hidden Stream, the ingredients for the Nine-Turned Rebirth Lotus are all here. Once you leave the secret realm, I will start refining the pill," Changtian sighed, "Finally, there’s a decent elixir to let me practice Alchemy again."

"...Hey, where are you putting your hand?" How can there be such an insincere Immortal who talks so coldly yet can’t keep his hands to himself?

Time passed slowly in everyone’s anxious waiting.

The corpse of the assassin was already presented in front of the two Sect Leaders. He was not a new face, and someone exclaimed with shock: "This is Sky No.13 from Rose Hall!" Rose Hall specialized in assassination and mechanisms, with all members using "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human" as prefixes for their codenames. "Heaven" signifies the strongest, followed by "Earth," and then "Human."

Jiu Mo’s expression was as dark as if it could drip water. The power opposing her could actually mobilize someone from Rose Hall to assassinate Ning Xiaoxian, which indicated that their influence had already penetrated deeply. Langya’s expression was equally grave. With the internal situation of Hidden Stream being so turbulent, he had already sent people to shadow Ning Xiaoxian for surveillance and protection. But the assassination that day happened in a flash; the sword light reached her chest before his men could even act.

If it wasn’t for the girl’s own significant kung fu, she would likely be the one lying dead here, a situation the overly proud Langya could hardly swallow.

Others who looked at the corpse were secretly shocked. The Rose Hall assassins did not necessarily have high cultivation, but their targeted training was extremely effective, and the means of killing varied —- in this world, a higher cultivation did not always mean greater lethality in murder. Being promoted from "Human" rank to "Heaven" rank indicated the extensive experience and outstanding achievements of Sky No.13.

According to the records of Rose Hall, he was best at ambushes, and his finest accomplishment was going alone, thousands of miles away, half a year ago, to kill a mid-sized Immortal Sect Leader and then retreat safely without harm.

However, he was now lying quietly on the ground. The autopsy revealed that the entire body had only one wound — a collapsed chest. Besides that, there were no other scratches or bruises. Whoever killed him did so with a single strike!

"Her strength has increased quite a bit." An elder who had previously seen Ning Xiaoxian’s actions in the Water Moon Mirror bent down to check the corpse, "It seems this little vine demon is quite lucky, drawing a significant amount of power from the Dragon Elephant Fruit." Consuming the Dragon Elephant Fruit is a gamble for any demon; the luckiest are said to gain Dragon Power, while the less fortunate may only get the strength of several giant elephants.

"Not just that." Langya lifted the cloth over Sky No.13’s chest, "According to reports from the scene, her punch not only shattered all of Sky No.13’s ribs and turned his organs to mush, but she also created a half-meter deep pit on the ground. With this, her strength is at least estimated to be around three hundred thousand catties."

"She dragged the body all the way to the Immortal Plant Garden, seen by so many people." His gaze swept over the faces of the elders and finally rested on Jiu Mo, "She’s demonstrating her power to certain individuals." (To be continued.
