Glazed Treasure Liquid

To verify the suspicion in his heart, Lu Jiuyuan immediately went to the roots of the Saint Spirit Fruit.

Under normal circumstances, once the Saint Spirit Fruit had been uprooted, it would quickly wither completely. Yet its roots were still brimming with vitality, which meant there was likely something beneath them.

With that thought, Lu Jiuyuan immediately prepared to dig down from the Saint Spirit Fruit's roots. Just then, he sensed something and turned around, only to see that Li Qingping had already finished absorbing the Saint Spirit Fruit.

Although she was not as exceptional as Lu Jiuyuan, possessing the brute strength of one hundred thousand jin at the Qi Refining Peak was still extremely impressive.

"What is it?"

Seeing Lu Jiuyuan standing atop the roots, Li Qingping asked curiously. After hearing his thoughts, her expression also turned solemn.

"Words are useless. Let's see what's underneath first."

After saying that, Lu Jiuyuan pressed his hand directly against the roots, his expression becoming grave. After a brief moment, he softly said,

"Earth Breaker!"

As Lu Jiuyuan's words fell, the ground within a one-meter radius around him began to shake. Then, before Li Qingping's eyes, the earth started collapsing. A second before it gave way, Lu Jiuyuan forcefully leaped out.

The ground continued to cave in without end.

"Come on, let's go down and take a look. I can sense a treasure below. It might even be Glazed Treasure Liquid."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head as he spoke. Li Qingping looked at him with surprise. If she had not seen wrong, that seemed to be a Low-grade Profound Tier immortal art?

One had to know that to activate a Low-grade Profound Tier immortal art, one needed at least Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. As for Lu Jiuyuan, he had not even broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, had he?

"What? Different physiques among Qi Refining Stage cultivators are different. It's perfectly reasonable for me to use a Low-grade Profound Tier immortal art."

Seeing Li Qingping's astonished expression, Lu Jiuyuan spoke with a completely serious face. Li Qingping, meanwhile, thought, As if I'd believe that nonsense. But the most important thing now was to see whether there truly was Glazed Treasure Liquid below. If there was, she could defy the heavens and change her fate.

However, when the two arrived at the edge of the deep pit and looked down, they saw only boundless darkness. Lu Jiuyuan did not hesitate in the slightest and jumped straight in. Li Qingping sighed and followed after him.

Both of them came from extraordinary backgrounds, so it was only reasonable that they carried a few life-preserving treasures. Ordinary cultivators needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before they could fly on artifacts, but both of them possessed magical treasures that allowed them to fly even in the Qi Refining Stage.

After falling for two minutes and thirty seconds, the two finally saw a trace of light. Without hesitation, Lu Jiuyuan took a talisman from his storage ring and stuck it onto himself.

In an instant, Lu Jiuyuan's weight was reduced without limit. As his weight decreased, he could feel his falling speed slowing continuously until he landed steadily on the ground.

When he looked up, he saw Li Qingping riding atop a white cloud and speeding down. She soon landed beside him.

"What a strange magical treasure."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, then looked around. They were in an empty underground cavern with only a faint amount of light, yet it greatly hindered their vision.

Without delay, Lu Jiuyuan took out several illumination stones. After channeling his power into them, the stones erupted with dazzling light, illuminating the entire cavern.

Only then did Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping clearly see the situation throughout the underground chamber.

"That is... Glazed Treasure Liquid?"

Lu Jiuyuan looked into the depths of the cavern. There was an enormous pit there, and within it lay a large pool of Glazed Treasure Liquid.

"What! We actually ran into it!"

At the sight of the Glazed Treasure Liquid, Li Qingping could not help becoming excited. With it, she could defy the heavens and change her fate.

"Be careful. The Glazed Treasure Liquid has been here for so long; who knows whether there are any guardian spirit beasts nearby."

Lu Jiuyuan had not been dazzled by joy upon discovering the Glazed Treasure Liquid. On the contrary, he was exceptionally calm.

After hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, Li Qingping finally came to her senses and vigilantly scanned the surroundings, afraid that some powerful guardian spirit beast might be lurking nearby.

Seeing how alert she was, Lu Jiuyuan could not help but smile. "Relax. There won't be any Golden Core Stage demonic beasts in this secret realm, so don't worry. Leave it to me."

Li Qingping thought that made sense. After all, Lu Jiuyuan had dealt with Chen Feng at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage so easily. Handling a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage demonic beast should not be difficult. Foundation Establishment Late Stage ones ought to be rare, right?

Thus, led by Lu Jiuyuan, Li Qingping cautiously made her way toward the Glazed Treasure Liquid. Yet the path was unusually quiet—so quiet that the entire cavern held nothing but the sound of their footsteps.

Finally, after a tense and nerve-racking stretch, they arrived before the Glazed Treasure Liquid. Li Qingping immediately reached her hand into the water, and a wondrous sensation spread from it through her entire body.

"It really is Glazed Treasure Liquid!"

Only then was Li Qingping completely certain that this was Glazed Treasure Liquid.

Lu Jiuyuan was somewhat excited upon hearing that, because it meant he could break through to Immortal Grade talent. But just then, a series of gurgling sounds came from within the Glazed Treasure Liquid.

"Not good, be careful!"

Lu Jiuyuan sensed something. He grabbed Li Qingping and retreated violently backward. The instant the two left, an enormous figure appeared where they had just been standing.

As soon as that figure appeared, it let out a thunderous roar. "Awooo!"

"This is... a Flood Dragon!"

Li Qingping said in shock after seeing the figure. But Lu Jiuyuan frowned slightly, staring at the giant dragon's form as he pondered. After a moment, he said in surprise,

"No. This Flood Dragon has soaked in the Glazed Treasure Liquid for far too long. It is likely about to transform into a true dragon."

After Lu Jiuyuan spoke, Li Qingping looked toward the Flood Dragon's head. Sure enough, two dragon horns had already appeared atop its head, meaning it truly was about to transform into a true dragon.

"Humans, leave this place, or die!"

At that moment, the Flood Dragon spoke. He looked at the two with majestic authority, and an aura that could not be profaned emanated from him.

Unfortunately for him, he had encountered Lu Jiuyuan. Lu Jiuyuan's eyes were filled with fervor, and he could not help licking his lips.

"Come to think of it, I've never eaten true dragon meat before!"

"Hm?"

The Flood Dragon began doubting his own ears. He was a Flood Dragon at the Foundation Establishment Peak, only one step away from becoming a true dragon. He was merely restricted by the secret realm and unable to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, he would have reached the Golden Core Stage long ago.

Yet the human before him was only at the Qi Refining Peak. Where did he get the confidence to defeat, or even kill, him?

But before he could react, Lu Jiuyuan moved. With a whoosh, Lu Jiuyuan vanished from before the Flood Dragon.

"Not good!"

A warning flared in the Flood Dragon's heart. Just as he was about to flee, Lu Jiuyuan appeared above his head, raised the Qingfeng Sword, and stabbed down at him.

Although the Flood Dragon's defenses were formidable, the Qingfeng Sword was a peak Profound Tier weapon. It could even pierce Golden Core Stage defenses, let alone those of a Flood Dragon.

As the Qingfeng Sword pierced into his body, the Flood Dragon immediately let out a miserable howl, and his entire body entered a berserk state.
