Million Jin of Strength

"There are three here. It's not too much for me to take two, is it?"

Lu Jiuyuan spoke first, looking at the three Saint Spirit Fruits hanging there. Li Qingping naturally had no objections, after all, it was Lu Jiuyuan who had killed the Blood Spirit Rats.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Jiuyuan directly plucked two Saint Spirit Fruits and swallowed them. Instantly, a surge of immense power spread from his mouth throughout his entire body. Without hesitation, Lu Jiuyuan began to refine the Saint Spirit Fruits with all his might. Li Qingping did the same.

While the two were refining the Saint Spirit Fruits, the secret realm was filled with constant battles, as tens of thousands of cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage had entered.

The slaughter wasn't just humans killing demonic beasts and demonic beasts killing humans; it also involved humans killing humans. Faced with immense temptation, no one was trustworthy.

"Heh heh, little girl, hand over the Profound Sun Grass you have. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

Not long after entering the secret realm, Cheng Xue and Lin Yuran found several stalks of Profound Sun Grass, only to be cornered by a group of cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.

After all, Profound Sun Grass was a heavenly treasure of Mid-grade Profound Tier, possessing miraculous effects for cultivators practicing fire-attribute cultivation techniques. Even without using it, it could be sold for over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Facing the five people blocking her, Cheng Xue wasn't too afraid. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuran beside her and said calmly.

"Junior Sister, stay put obediently."

With that, a Cold Sword appeared in Cheng Xue's hand, and she charged towards the five people.

"Hmph, looks like this little lady is feisty. Brothers, attack! Don't scratch her pretty face."

The leader sneered and gave the order. The four peak Qi Refining Stage subordinates behind him immediately swarmed forward, charging at Cheng Xue.

Seeing this, Lin Yuran just shook her head, a hint of pity in her eyes. Senior Sister Cheng had suppressed her cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining just to enter the secret realm. Otherwise, she would have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, Senior Sister Cheng's strength couldn't be measured by her realm alone. She had once seen Senior Sister Cheng, at the peak of Qi Refining, hold her own against someone in the early Foundation Establishment Stage.

Therefore, Lin Yuran wasn't worried that the people in front of them could harm Senior Sister Cheng. Besides, they still had life-saving items given by the sect.

What stunned the peak Qi Refining Stage cultivator was that in just one exchange, one of his subordinates was killed by Cheng Xue.

"What! Are you useless? Go all out!"

Hearing their master's words, the remaining three could only suppress their fear and unleash Immortal Arts towards Cheng Xue. Cheng Xue, however, ran quickly, blocking their incoming Immortal Arts directly with her Profound Ice Sword.

A few seconds later, Cheng Xue's figure flashed past the three of them. Before they could react, faint bloodstains appeared on their necks. As the bloodstains widened, their heads separated from their bodies in shock.

Only then did the young man finally lose his composure, saying with panic, "You can't kill me! My father is a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!"

But Cheng Xue showed no fear. The Northern Snow Sect was not a small sect; it was naturally extremely protective of its disciples. As long as the disciple didn't make the first mistake, the Northern Snow Sect would basically protect them.

"Nascent Soul Stage cultivator? Is he very powerful? What can he do before my Northern Snow Sect?"

Cheng Xue said expressionlessly, and then, under the young man's bewildered gaze, she directly killed him. Before he died, the young man finally realized that he had provoked a terrifying figure he shouldn't have, but it was all too late.

After killing them all, Lin Yuran walked to Cheng Xue's side and shook her head.

"Senior Sister Cheng, aren't you being a bit too cruel?"

Given her disposition, this was the first time she had witnessed someone being killed, and the visual impact was naturally difficult to accept. Cheng Xue just shook her head and said earnestly.

"Junior Sister, you need to know one thing: in the cultivation world, humans are more terrifying than demonic beasts. If you want to continuously become stronger and ascend, you will eventually have to get your hands dirty with human blood."

Although Lin Yuran didn't understand these grand principles, she knew that Cheng Xue wouldn't harm her, so she nodded obediently.

After lecturing her junior sister, Cheng Xue's mind flashed with Lu Jiuyuan's image, and she couldn't help but become curious. What had this guy encountered now?

Meanwhile, in the cave, after consuming the Saint Spirit Fruits, Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping had entered a state of cultivation. As the Saint Spirit Fruits were continuously refined, their physical strength was constantly increasing.

As the Saint Spirit Fruits were refined, heat constantly emanated from their bodies, and their physical strength surged.

Soon, Lu Jiuyuan completely finished refining the Saint Spirit Fruit.

"My physical strength alone can now exert a million jin of strength. As expected of a Saint Spirit Fruit, it is indeed powerful."

Lu Jiuyuan clenched his fist, feeling the changes in his body.

After adapting for a while, he stood up and looked at Li Qingping, who was still refining the Saint Spirit Fruit. It seemed she had only refined half of it.

But it was normal. After all, her talent was only Yellow Grade, while he was just one step away from Immortal Grade talent. The refining speed naturally had a huge gap.

If he could find the Glazed Treasure Liquid, his talent should be able to break through to Immortal Grade. Although Lu Jiuyuan didn't show anything after seeing Lu Yushuang that day, he was the Young Master. It was impossible to say he wasn't bothered at all that his talent was inferior to someone who had suddenly joined the Lu Family.

However, one thing made Lu Jiuyuan curious: this cave didn't seem to have anything special about it, so why could a heavenly treasure like the Saint Spirit Fruit grow here? Unless...
