Qi Refining Ten Thousand Layers

Two days after the Flamefree City incident ended.

Li Wuxie, accompanied by two officials from the Dao Alliance Headquarters, arrived at Zongzhi Mountain overnight.

The person in charge of handing over with the Dao Alliance was not a sect leader, but Disciplinary Elder.

Li Wuxie went directly to Huangfu Qun.

The two officials delivered to the Discipline Hall an official document from the Dao Alliance, issued by the headquarters of the Wraith Punishment Bureau, detailing Zongzhi Mountain's contributions and rewards in the Flamefree City incident.

Zongzhi Mountain's contributions are threefold.

First, Xiao Ran, the Direct Disciple, promptly took over the Imperial Guards in the Underworld, preventing the internal strife from spreading, stabilizing social order, and minimizing casualties, thus winning the trust of the people for the sect and the Dao Alliance.

Secondly, Xiao Ran and his disciples thwarted the conspiracy of the Apostle True Person Baoguo in the Netherworld. In the Dharma Ending Era, they saved an entire city from the clutches of the Netherworld for the first time, setting an example for the anti-Netherworld cause on the True Spirit Continent and greatly boosting the morale of the Dao Alliance and sects in their fight against the Netherworld.

Third, Xiao Ran rescued two Dao Alliance Wraith Hunter in the Netherworld and helped the Wraith Punishment Bureau obtain some important items.

In the Discipline Hall, Huangfu Qun stood respectfully, his face gloomy but his heart filled with pride, when suddenly he frowned.

"What items did you help the Wraith Punishment Bureau obtain?"

The Dao Alliance official closed the merit book, his face calm, and replied in a very formulaic manner:

"I'm sorry, Elder Huangfu, your authority is not sufficient to know."

Subsequently, another official announced the Dao Alliance Headquarters' reward for Zongzhi Mountain.

First, one million Dao Alliance points are ostensibly worth about one million Spirit Stone, but these points can buy things and privileges that many Spirit Stone cannot.

Second, the number of Rank A Mission that Zongzhi Mountain must complete each year has been halved, and he can freely choose the content of the tasks.

Third, in the next ten years, the number of Spirit Sword that Wraith Punishment Bureau imports from Zongzhi Mountain each year will double.

Huangfu Qun and his son were both stunned.

When did the Dao Alliance become so generous?

Was the item Xiao Ran obtained really that important? Or was the Dao Alliance determined to pluck Xiao Ran, this promising talent? Li Wuxie seemed to have sensed Huangfu Qun's hidden worries.

"You don't need to worry about Xiao Ran. The quota for the Dao Alliance's prodigies has been finalized, and Xiao Ran will have a place. As for going to the Academy for further studies, it's entirely up to Xiao Ran's own choice. Even if he goes, it will be as an exchange student from Zongzhi Mountain, and he won't sever ties with Zongzhi Mountain."

Huangfu Qun straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"I have no worries. Lingzhou Yue and Xiao Ran, this master and disciple pair, have some kind of tacit understanding that is similar to Resonance. The Dao Alliance cannot break them."

The two officials said, "We'll have to see if they can handle more difficult tasks."

"After the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, the Dao Alliance will organize group missions to hunt the Demonic Dragon. Zongzhi Mountain might as well send two people to hunt the Demonic Dragon as well."

Huangfu Qun's face darkened, and he remained noncommittal.

I thought to myself, "The Dao Alliance really doesn't give us a moment to breathe!"

It seems that the Black Dragon Devouring Wraith Incident has already shaken the Dao Alliance to its core... No matter which direction it falls, the Dharma Ending Era is finally accelerating.

Sword-Wielding Mountain.

Moonlight shines on the branches of the Lone Pine.

On a thick branch, a 60-inch bamboo-panel color TV is playing live footage of the fierce battle from Hundred Herbs Peak.

Xiao Ran's fairy battle against the underworld photo album has been illustrated in version after version, and has long been incorporated into the plot, officially becoming a book.

The Fight the Wraith at Hundred Herbs Peak went on until late at night.

However, since True Person Yinyue had to go refine medicine, he played a few rounds and then had Chunwa and Qiuchan take over.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he hadn't drawn more portraits of his Senior Uncle.

In terms of art, my Senior Uncle's figure is wonderful, but not particularly voluptuous. However, every part of him is just right, making him look very charming and leaving a lasting impression.

After the Chunwa and Qiuchan took turns, the two of them stacked themselves up and down like little Arhats in the pool.

So, consider yourself as one person, using a dual-core processor to brainstorm and bravely Fight the Wraith.

Originally, Xiao Ran had added clothes to the two naked lolis in the picture book.

But he soon realized that he didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

Even though the two girls had dual-core processors, their single-core computing power was too weak, and they quickly lost miserably.

Forced to put on layer after layer of clothes, they were soon wrapped up like two balls, as if they were getting through winter.

Opposite.

Lingzhou Yue rediscovered her long-lost wisdom and dignity in the two girls, but unfortunately, with Chuyan around, she could never take off the green robe she was wearing.

In terms of art, Xiao Ran has to say that his Master's figure looks better when he's dressed.

Xiao Ran couldn't bear the thought of his Master being naked, fearing that blood would drip from his nose onto the drawing board.

He thought to himself, "If Master has a child in the future, that child will be so lucky!" Chuyan seemed to be very good at playing cards.

Or perhaps I just hate wearing clothes while taking a bath. So far, I've won more than I've lost, and every time I put on clothes, I win them back quickly and can't wait to take them off again.

In terms of art, Chuyan's small figure is not very noticeable when she wears green gauze, but she unexpectedly has some curves in the pool. She is definitely not very big, but her slender figure makes her proportions look particularly good.

Cute, yet innocent and pure...

Only by grasping the characteristics of the characters can one reach the pinnacle of script art.

In this Dharma Ending Era, people are indifferent, and only art can bring a touch of warmth to Xiao Ran's heart.

Xiao Ran closed the book and pondered, feeling how quickly time had passed.

Over the course of three years, he cursed time travel, the main god, and the system to the point of wanting to end his own life and enter reincarnation early.

Looking back now, time travel was truly a wonderful thing! The system allowed him to fulfill his dream from his previous life, becoming a doujinshi artist and reaching the highest level of art.

Brilliant!

Just as I was lost in thought, a gust of wind suddenly arose, rustling the pine needles.

Someone is coming.

Xiao Ran hurriedly put away the bamboo TV and drawing board, sat cross-legged on a pine branch, and solemnly closed his eyes to practice breathing exercises, cultivating himself under the stars and moon.

The person who came was Li Wuxie.

Li Wuxie stepped onto the Sword Plaza and saw Xiao Ran cultivating so diligently. No wonder he was so promising at such a young age, defeating a Golden Core cultivator with only Qi Refining Cultivation Level.

Xiao Ran let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

It was hard to see Li Wuxie's panda eyes at night, but judging from his tall stature and rugged face, he did have a very manly air about him.

He was still holding the Black Sand Teapot in his hands...

Xiao Ran wanted to ask who had stopped him from drawing his sword, but he held back.

Just be careful with these kinds of things; conducting a special investigation could easily expose your identity.

Xiao Ran didn't greet them, only saying, "Should I call my Master over?"

Li Wuxie said, his tone as direct and domineering as ever.

"I'm only looking for you."

"Oh."

Xiao Ran responded, casually took out the stone tablet, and tossed it to Li Wuxie from a distance, the action so casual that it was as if he were tossing a rag rather than a stone tablet.

"Take the stone tablet."

Li Wuxie took the stone tablet, slightly surprised. After confirming its power, he quickly put it away.

"I heard you swallowed the medicine from the Wraith Punishment Bureau, but I haven't even mentioned the reward yet, and you've already given me the stone tablet? You trust me that much, and you trust the Dao Alliance?"

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "I know you inside and out!" Having lived in the Mortal Realm for three years, Xiao Ran had witnessed the actions of the Dao Alliance.

Even if there are corrupt elements within the Dao Alliance, its tremendous efforts and achievements in ensuring the survival of the Dao Alliance cannot be denied.

The stone tablet was useless to Xiao Ran; his Art of Resonance did not require the stone tablet to enlighten him.

He only needs to keep a rubbing.

Giving the stone tablet to the Dao Alliance will not only bring considerable rewards, but also allow the experts at the Dao Alliance Headquarters to try to decipher it. Perhaps they will discover something new and find a way to save the Dharma Ending Era.

As for Xiao Ran himself, all he needed to do was cling to his Master's coattails.

If the Dao Alliance truly wants to win me over, the rewards will be substantial.

Under the moonlight, Li Wuxie paced back and forth, saying:

"I won't force you to go to the Academy, but you must attend the Heaven's Chosen Assembly in Chaos City a month from now."

Xiao Ran sighed.

"Has the selection of the prodigy been decided? I've only just Qi Refining stage, and it's been less than a month since I entered the sect. In order to protect the young talents, shouldn't the Dao Alliance put me on the hot seat? What if I get captured by the Apostle?"

"Did you see the dragon? The times won't wait for seedlings to grow slowly."

Li Wuxie's voice was slightly cold, yet it carried a certain sense of surging excitement.

Xiao Ran nodded.

"All right."

Li Wuxie added, "Perhaps if you go to Chaos City, people from the Wraith Punishment Bureau will contact you, but I will no longer try to persuade you on behalf of the Academy. As for the rewards offered to you by the Dao Alliance, the conditions are very generous, but I have rejected them all."

Puff--

Xiao Ran felt a surge of blood welling up inside him, regretting that he had given away the stone tablet too early!

Why are you blocking my reward?

Li Wuxie took out a broken and damaged bamboo slip.

"I specially obtained an ancient Cultivation Method for you from the Academy that is suitable for cultivating with Balanced Five-Elements Endowment. Although it is somewhat incomplete, you can still make do with most of the content."

Incomplete Cultivation Method?

The more incomplete the manuscript, the more powerful the cheat codes! Xiao Ran suddenly became excited, hurriedly took the bamboo slip, and, by the moonlight, turned to the first page.

The cover of the bamboo slip clearly bears five seal characters—

Qi Refining Ten Thousand Layers! —————

It's not about showing off and getting slapped in the face with an invincible routine; the main thing is to increase the amount of Spiritual Energy stored and combine it with Serendipitous Critical Strike.

This book is currently ranked eleventh on the new book monthly ticket chart. It seems there's a bonus for being in the top ten, so I hope everyone can vote for it and help it get back into the top ten... Please!
