Returning to Yuan Magnetic Peak, Xiao Chen opened the last page of <Yin Yang Harmonizing Contract> as usual and felt about Spiritual Charm Diagram.

During this time, he had memorized the previous article firmly.

And from time to time, I would open Spiritual Charm Diagram, trying to understand the hidden imagery.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it for a while, you will gain something over time.

Then he ran Greater Celestial Circuit as usual before falling asleep peacefully.

Days like this repeated themselves for a few more days.

Xiao Chen I feel that my Dantian Law Power is full, I am full of energy, my energy and blood have become stable, and I am fully capable of making breakthroughs.

Originally this was supposed to happen at the beginning of the month, but who knew there were several unexpected interruptions along the way.

This time, with the help of various spiritual creatures, I successfully entered Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

Perhaps it was because he took too much Wood Element Spiritual Material during this period.

At the time of the breakthrough, there was no external demand for Spiritual Qi. Instead, relying solely on its own accumulation, it caused the spiritual flower in the Dantian to bloom again, with six more stamens growing.

Since it is only a small realm, there are no other additional benefits gained from this breakthrough.

Xiao Chen only took about two quarters of an hour to adapt to his new cultivation level.

Then he took out a Essence Solidifying Pill with his backhand and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

Essence Solidifying Pill, as the name suggests, can help monks stabilize their cultivation after breaking through small realms and shorten the duration of breath fluctuations.

"To be on the safe side, it's best to wait a few days before breaking through Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer."

Xiao Chen stretched his muscles and bones, ran outside the peak and started practicing escape techniques.

Since he obtained Purple Gold Spirit Sand, he has been practicing <Golden Light Shrinking Earth> almost without interruption.

However, strangely enough, I always felt like I was subject to some kind of restriction.

The progress is not stagnant, but it is also difficult.

Despite the help of Purple Gold Spirit Sand, Great Accomplishment Realm is still far away.

However, since Xiao Chen made progress along the way to Body Refining, that vague restriction seems to have disappeared.

He felt this when he was traveling to and from Fragrant River Market.

Now I came out and gave it a try, and it was indeed as efficient as before.

"How strange."

Xiao Chen was a little confused. "What is the principle of this?"

It cannot be said that Body Refining has nothing to do with Golden Escape Technique. It is simply irrelevant.

But no matter what, this is always a good thing.

Without the limitations of inexplicable factors, Cultivation Progress once again made rapid progress and successfully entered Great Accomplishment Realm.

Now, if you dodge, you will be a hundred feet away.

If there were no terrain restrictions or Law Artifact interference, just with such a fast speed, many Law Technique would pose no threat to Xiao Chen.

No matter how much the original Spell Power is, if you can't hit anyone, it's still nothing.

After finishing <Golden Light Shrinking Earth>, Xiao Chen changed the focus of cultivation to the other Fire Method.

He has now looked past it, Spirit Root is actually not that important.

Anyway, I have Yang Fire Seal and a large number of Flame Light Spirit Sand. There is no need to learn Wood Element Spell. It is almost enough.

A few more days passed like this.

Chang Shunping, who had finished rectifying Branch Lineage and re-adjusted his mood, also returned to Yuan Magnetic Peak and brought the latest news.

Ye Fei and Old Ancestor Zeng will have a public fight, and both sides will fight to the death in the ring.

No matter who wins or loses, the past grudges will be wiped out.

This matter has become a hot topic, even surpassing the upcoming Li Mountain Cloud Chase, becoming the hottest topic at the moment.

More than one person even made a handicap secretly, and Chang Shunping has related betting channels.

"No way, Spirit Origin Sect can agree to this kind of thing?"

Nowadays, the threat of the Divine Fire Sect has not disappeared. If Xiao Chen is the senior leader of the Spirit Origin Sect, he will definitely not allow internal fighting to damage his own strength at this time.

"Daoist Xiao, you don't know. It is said that Ye Fei killed Young Master Zeng."

"This is Revenge for Killing a Son. It can be suppressed just by relying on outsiders' mediation."

"Spirit Origin Sect If we stop it forcefully, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble in the future."

"The relevant news has spread widely, and everyone knows it. The current situation can only allow them to settle their grudges as soon as possible."

Xiao Chen asked, "When did this happen?"

He just met Ye Fei not long ago. How could he do such a thing in just a few days?

"I heard from some friends that it was half a month ago."

"It is said that Ye Fei brought a Kun cultivator named Zi Yan and had a conflict with Young Master Zeng while eating."

Chang Shunping was a little unsure. "But there are also rumors that the two had a grudge before at Seeking Plum Mountain, but they just happened to meet at Yuan Magnetic Peak and deliberately found a reason."

"But Ye Fei is really beyond recognition."

"Both Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer and Young Master Zeng are no match for him."

"It's a pity that he is too young and frivolous after all, and he doesn't know how to keep a line in life. Since Old Ancestor Zeng personally took action this time, I'm afraid he is doomed."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Is there any place to bet? I bet Ye Fei to win."

Chang Shunping opened his eyes instantly when he heard this. "Daoist Xiao, that Old Ancestor Zeng is in the realm of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection..."

Xiao Chen raised his hand to interrupt him, "Hey, that's not important. If you believe me this time, you'll win if you bet on Ye Fei."

"The key point is the handicap rules. How many Spirit Stone can one person bet at most?"

Chang Shunping stretched out a finger. "I know a family that just guesses the outcome. Each person can only bet a maximum of one thousand Spirit Stone, and one loses two."

"If you guess the time, moves, injuries, etc., you can bet more and the odds will be higher."

Xiao Chen felt a little regretful. "It's only one thousand, that's okay."

If he doesn't understand other projects, he won't take risks. He can make a thousand dollars safely.

Chang Shunping was originally not optimistic about Ye Fei, but now that he saw Xiao Chen's attitude, his mind was immediately shaken.

Because the agent was not allowed to place bets, the two of them came to Good Luck Gambling House inside Spirit Origin Market.

Chang Shunping thought for a while, and then also placed a thousand Spirit Stone.

Even though he couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, he was willing to believe in Xiao Chen's vision and judgment.

Three days later, the result of the duel was indeed Ye Fei's victory.

Although Old Ancestor Zeng even sacrificed his family heirloom Law Artifact, he could only regret it on the spot.

Chang Shunping took the receipt and exchanged it for two thousand. Spirit Stone sent it over.

At the same time, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Daoist Xiao, it's such a pity that you didn't go."

"That Ye Fei was obviously a leapfrog battle, but who would have thought that not only did he win, he also won cleanly and with a crushing force."

Xiao Chen Spirit Stone smiled slightly.

Cultivation Realm and combat strength are not exactly equal to each other.

Law Artifact level, Spell Cultivation, escape speed, Divine Sense Range, Cultivation Method level, five elements, etc., can all affect the outcome of the battle.

In fact, when Xiao Chen solved Eastern Traveler, it was only Foundation Establishment Stage 6.

When one versus two defeated Southern Traveler and Western Traveler, it was also Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

Outsiders thought he had hidden Pseudo-Core as his trump card.

In fact, Xiao Chen's real trump card is Hextech Enhancement.

.

Until the end of February, Ye Fei became the talk of the town.

A lot of information is circulating everywhere.

Everyone was surprised to find that Ye Fei not only had a high level of cultivation, but he was also accompanied by two female cultivators from Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

At the same time, information about him being pregnant with Wind Spiritual Root and being good at Wind Escape Technique was also spread widely.

Especially after learning that Ye Fei also planned to participate in Li Mountain Cloud Chase, discussions about the winner immediately became heated.

Originally, many people thought that the first place would undoubtedly be born between Xiao Chen and Ning Haochen.

But now, some people feel that Ye Fei is very powerful and is likely to win another upset victory.

The night before, Chang Shunping also brought new news - Wind Treading Hermit appeared.

"I've never heard of him. Is he very powerful?"

Xiao Chen slowly dispersed the Fire Qi surrounding him and stopped practicing <Receive Fire Treasure Talisman>.

"He is not very powerful, but very powerful!"

Chang Shunping said seriously, "As early as sixty years ago, Wind Treading Hermit won the first place of Li Mountain Cloud Chase with its outstanding Wind Escape Technique."

"In the following ten years, it won the championship continuously, beating all Foundation Establishment Cultivator who participated at that time."

"It was also at that time that I came up with the name Wind Treading Hermit. I had so many Flowing Cloud Dew that I couldn't use them all, and I could even auction them off for Spirit Stone."

"Many people wanted to challenge him, but without exception they all failed."

"In the tenth year, even many top monks did not come to Li Mountain and gave up in advance."

Although Li Mountain Cloud Chase has other rewards besides Flowing Cloud Dew,

But those rewards are basically dispensable for top monks and are not worth their special trip.

Xiao Chen was a little curious. "Then he quit on his own later?"

Chang Shunping said, "Yes, I later heard that Wind Treading Hermit chose to retreat in secret in order to improve his escape skills."

"It has been fifty years since he disappeared. I thought he would never appear again."

"There are even rumors that he disliked He Province and couldn't find an opponent, so he went to Eastern Domain to seek progress."

"Unexpectedly, he reappeared and said he would participate in this competition."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Oh, so that's it."

"Daoist Xiao, you don't seem worried at all?"

Chang Shunping is obviously concerned. "There will be a competition tomorrow. I heard that Ye Fei has been busy practicing escape skills every day recently."

And the opposite is.

According to his observation, Xiao Chen has not been able to go out or step out the second door these days, so he has been practicing Fire Method in his yard with the door closed.

"Why worry?"

Xiao Chen still looked calm. "The competition is tomorrow anyway, so there's no point in worrying now."

He is very confident in his <Golden Light Shrinking Earth>.

Great Accomplishment Realm's escape technique is already very terrifying, especially with Hextech's blessing, I don't know how to lose.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was not panicked at all, Chang Shunping also put away some of his worries.

The reason why he was so nervous was because this time it also involved betting.

Li Mountain Cloud Chase There is a fixed competition every year, and naturally there is a fixed handicap.

Different from emergencies like Ye Fei, this model is more mature and the bet limit is larger.

Previously, out of trust in Xiao Chen, Chang Shunping took out all the Spirit Stone he had on hand and directly bought Xiao Chen for 6,000 to win.

I never expected that I would learn about new variables just the day before.

The news that Wind Treading Hermit showed up to compete only came out in the morning.

In just half a day, countless monks placed bets.

Even though Good Luck Gambling House offered ultra-low odds of 11 to 10, it couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

You know, even if Xiao Chen was famous before, Good Luck Gambling House only gave odds of 5 to 6.

Wind Treading Hermit has the lowest odds, which means that the gambling house is most optimistic about him winning the first place.

However, Xiao Chen asked, "Since there are new changes, has Good Luck Gambling House relaxed the betting limit?"

Although the plate is larger, in order to control the risk and not lose everything, the upper limit of the bet given this time is 10,000 Spirit Stone.

It is a pity that Good Luck Gambling House does not provide corresponding adjustments.

This can't help but make Xiao Chen a little regretful.

In fact, when he placed the bet a few days ago, he originally thought of activating various connections and borrowing money to win by himself.

Earn over a million Spirit Stone at one time and directly achieve Spirit Stone freedom.

Unfortunately, Good Luck Gambling House was too cautious and refused to accept a larger bet.

Early the next morning.

Li Mountain It started to rain swords outside.

Colorful streams of light streaked across the sky in the distance and landed on the top of the mountain one after another.

It was noon, and thousands of monks had already gathered on the top of the mountain.

Basically, except for the rotating monks who stayed in Seeking Plum Mountain and Falling Goose Mountain, all the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Spirit Origin Sect have arrived.

And at the foot of the mountain, there are tens of thousands of Qi Refining Cultivator gathered together, bustling and rubbing shoulders.

Most of them are just joining in the fun, while a few will participate in the competition between Qi Refining Cultivator.

The winner can get a drop of Flowing Cloud Dew, which can attract the attention of other Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Xiao Chen and Manager Chen stood together to watch the Qi Refining competition that was held first, and also understood the specific rules.

The rules are quite simple, Li Mountain has a very unique landscape.

That is, at the end of February every year, in the early afternoon, there will be twelve flowing clouds flying out towards the north.

At the same time, twelve drops of Flowing Cloud Dew will be left in place.

At first, the speed of the flowing clouds was very fast, just like a stream of light, it could fly several miles away in an instant, which was simply not what Foundation Establishment Cultivator could match.

However, they will gradually slow down later, and the clouds that leave later will decay faster.

If it is not collected by the monks, it will eventually stop where it is.

The method of collecting Liuyun is also very simple.

With just a little guidance from Law Power, you can put Liuyun into the Jade Pure Bottle in half an hour.

The content of the competition is to see who can collect the largest number of flowing clouds by virtue of their escape skills.

Of course, during this process, monks can only use Law Technique on themselves and are not allowed to maliciously block each other, otherwise they will be boycotted collectively.

The current highest record is the six flowing clouds once won by Wind Treading Hermit.

This means that he was three quarters of an hour faster than the other monks who had not harvested Flowing Cloud Dew.

It may not seem like much, but this is an occasion where top monks compete in escape techniques.

Not to mention three quarters of an hour, half a quarter of an hour can already make a difference of dozens of miles.

Wind Treading Hermit was able to achieve this condition in the first place, thanks to two factors.

One is because many experts did not participate in the tenth year.

Second, it was because Wind Treading Hermit had new insights that year that he set such an exaggerated record.

Among all current records, including Ancient Books, which has traces in the past few thousand years, this is also the highest level.

But this time, Wind Treading Hermit has been in seclusion for fifty years.

Whether he can break his own record and create new history is also one of the topics that everyone is talking about.

.

But in the crowd, Han Zi Yan was quietly looking at Xiao Chen's position.

She recently successfully lurked beside Ye Fei and spent a quite relaxing time.

But she has never forgotten the task assigned to her by Yao Chang True Person before coming here.

According to the information Han Zi Yan has heard these days, Xiao Chen is very cautious on weekdays.

Even to the point of being a little crazy.

Not only does he hide in Yuan Magnetic Peak, he doesn't go out at all.

He also refused to attend any banquets, not even the Spring Appreciation Banquet hosted by the Yao Family a few days ago.

No matter how many monks wanted to curry favor with Grand Elder, there was no way, but Xiao Chen was clearly available but did not show up.

Forget it, I finally left twice.

They all chose the time at noon when there were the most people, and chose to go with another Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the place where they visited was also Spirit Origin Market, which had a lot of people.

There is no time to be alone!

This made Han Zi Yan very distressed. How should she start?

After thinking about it, her eyes fell on Ye Fei beside her.

How about cultivating this silly boy and then tricking him into helping him kill Xiao Chen?

Just when Han Zi Yan was thinking wildly, Qi Refining Cultivator's competition was over.

Grand Elder Yao Dehai took back the Law Artifact used to simulate Liuyun, and at the same time received the Gu Family disciple who won the first place.

Gu Qiuling, who was watching the battle not far away, also showed a slight smile.

But then I saw Xiao Chen and others walking forward to prepare for the competition, and I immediately stopped laughing.

Why was she obsessed with Heart Aperture at that time and didn't drag this person to Looking Swallow Mountain?

Especially when she thought about her original misunderstanding of Xiao Chen, when she looked back, she could only think of two words - annoyed!

But it was too late.

Since Monthly Report was released, Gu Family invited Xiao Chen twice.

Gu Qiuling also sent a special invitation letter, wanting to get to know each other again.

However, Xiao Chen refused them all and showed no mercy at all.

If he hadn't rejected others equally, it would have been like showing off to the Gu Family.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiuling felt a little bit unhappy.

Although she arranged Xiao Chen in her mind at the beginning, she still followed Grand Elder's instructions on the surface.

Xiao Chen is good, he doesn't even want to do superficial things.

Huh, if you don't come, you won't come. At worst, everyone will go their own way from now on.

"Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!..."

Suddenly there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air.

Immediately afterwards, streams of pure white light spurted out from the top of the mountain and disappeared to the north in the blink of an eye.

Due to the speed, when everyone heard the sound and looked up, they could only see the last cloud turning into a small dot in the sky.

The flowing cloud itself is the signal for the start of the competition.

The next moment, everyone who was already eager to try rushed to use their escape skills and chased Liu Yun.

The talisman light on Ye Fei exploded, and several Wind Element Talisman that had been prepared took effect at the same time.

The effects of being light, agile, riding the wind, controlling the wind, breaking the wind, etc. all make him stand out immediately.

He had already asked before the game that he could use his own Tier 2 Talisman as an auxiliary method.

Many other monks also prepared Talisman.

But Ye Fei and Talisman were all drawn by him, and the effect is far better than others.

And it has been slightly adjusted according to his own situation to maximize his speed.

However, even so, Ye Fei could only watch as Wind Treading Hermit gradually flew ahead of him.

The other party did not use any Talisman, but there was a gentle breeze circulating around him.

The speed is more than 10% faster than him.

Even when he passed him, Xianxin made a comment. "My little friend has good control over Wind Escape, but he cares too much about unexpected things."

"If you are skilled enough, these messy Talisman will only become a hindrance."

Ye Fei Remember this, but don't take it to heart.

Regardless of whether this persuasion makes sense or not, that is something to think about after returning home.

The most important thing right now is fighting for Liuyun.

He worked hard to adjust his Flying Sword to follow Wind Treading Hermit as much as possible.

I took the time to look around and saw no other monks.

Huh?

Where is Xiao Chen?

Ye Fei looked forward and could only see that the distance between Wind Treading Hermit and him was getting farther and farther.

Forget it, don't think about it so much, the game is important.

He quickly put aside these distracting thoughts, concentrated on operating Talisman on his body, and cooperated with Wind Escape to go on the road with all his strength.

At this time, at the top of the Li Mountain, everyone burst into exclamations.

There are many monks participating in this competition, a total of thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Of course, there are many people inside, who are here purely for the purpose of participating.

Therefore, when Liuyun flew out, the monk on the far right did not set off directly, but looked at the motionless Xiao Chen on his left.

"Daoist Xiao, the competition has begun."

But then he realized something was wrong.

The Xiao Chen beside him turned into a shadow and gradually disappeared into the air.

He immediately exclaimed, "Afterimage!"

Then the others were attracted by his startled breath and saw the process of the shadow disappearing.

Although Xiao Chen can also Sword Flight normally, when Golden Light Shrinking Earth is fully exerted, it does not need to use any Talisman or Law Artifact.

Only in this case can the fastest speed be achieved.

Using foreign objects is a drag, including Flying Sword.

A group of people immediately looked up at the sky, and naturally could not see his figure.

And Golden Light Shrinking Earth was extremely fast. By the time everyone looked around, it had already climbed over the mountains and ridges without leaving any trace.

And Xiao Chen has now discovered another benefit that Body Refining will bring after success.

That is, when faced with unfamiliar terrain, he can directly run into it.

All the rocks and big trees are hollow, just hide with a hammer and hit it with something like that and that's it!

Even if the speed increases, the force of the impact will also become stronger.

But with his current physique equivalent to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, as long as he doesn't head into the mountains, everything else is like drizzle.

This is the confidence Body Cultivator brought him.

About three quarters of an hour later, Xiao Chen caught up with the last flowing cloud and captured it directly with Law Power from a distance of forty feet.

Then he made an emergency stop, took out the uniformly distributed jade purification bottles, and began to collect Liuyun.

Then it took him another quarter of an hour to catch up with the second to last flower, then the third to last flower, and the fourth to last flower...

"Oh, the organizer is so careless."

"The jade purification bottle I prepared is obviously too small. It can only be filled with ten Liuyun flowers."

"I have to report this mistake to them when I go back."

Fortunately, Xiao Chen is a Alchemist, so he also brought a jade purification bottle with him.

Otherwise, there will be no room for these two flowing clouds in the end.
