Tang Kun's heart stirred. Although he dared not actively pursue this kind of essence, he still longed for it. If he could obtain another kind, he could break through his limits and become a master of the True Qi Tenth Stage.
Immediately, the group ventured deep into the Bamboo Forest, heading in the direction where the growth was most astonishing.
Soon, they discovered the Life Water Pool.
However, someone is collecting it.
"It's Senior Brother Lusheng!" a student exclaimed excitedly.
Directly ahead, Lusheng, Liu Haitang, and a woman were collecting Vitality Essence using a jade bottle.
"Let's go, we'll get a piece of the pie too." Ma Ran couldn't wait any longer.
This kind of essence is extremely rare. Even if it's not enough to form the foundation of one's Martial Dao, it can still be exchanged for resources. Gathering more of it and exchanging it for a portion of Celestial Phenomenon Qi is not out of the question.
He immediately called out to Lusheng, and hurriedly took out the jade bottle. Just as he was about to approach, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded.
Ma Ran was startled, then became somewhat angry, not understanding why Lusheng had attacked him.
We're all in the same camp, comrades standing shoulder to shoulder!
Lusheng glanced at him, then looked at Tang Kun and said, "This was prepared for Junior Brother Jiang. You all shouldn't get your hands on it. If you want Celestial Phenomenon Thunder Qi, I can give you some."
"Brother Lu, everyone who sees it has a share. We won't stop you from helping Jiang Ping, but you can't block our opportunity either."
A True Qi Ninth Stage cultivator gazed at the abundant essence in the pool, his eyes revealing greed.
"This is what we found. Please leave." Liu Haitang frowned and added, "Dare to touch this kind of essence? Aren't you afraid that the Three Tigers of this Dangerous Land will find out and rob us?"
"Three Tigers of the Dangerous Land?" Many people were taken aback, recalling the three True Qi Tenth Stage warriors who had dominated the Dangerous Land in the past few days.
Those three were domineering and powerful. They would tell anyone they met that they were in danger of bloodshed and that they needed to read their palms. In reality, they would search people's bodies to find their Vitality Essence. Because they were so strong and had a lot of amazing achievements, few people dared to provoke them.
Ma Ran stood beside Tang Kun and laughed, "If you guys aren't afraid, what are we afraid of?"
After saying this, he winked at several True Qi Ninth Stage cultivators who had ideas, and they immediately stepped out and moved closer to the pool.
Lusheng looked at Tang Kun, who remained silent throughout, clearly sharing the same thought.
"Sigh." He sighed.
So be it.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying Qi Mechanism erupted from Lusheng's body, sweeping like a storm. In an instant, the airflow exploded, the surrounding bamboo shattered, and a faint rain of light enveloped his body, completely changing his demeanor.
Ma Ran and his companions suddenly stopped in their tracks, staring at the scene in astonishment:
"True Qi Tenth Stage?!"
As Tang Kun experienced this overwhelming pressure up close, his calm eyes finally showed signs of strain, his pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but ask:
"When did you reach this point? Where did you find this Supreme Qi?"
He was puzzled.
How could this classmate, who had always been weaker than him, suddenly leave him behind?
"Junior Brother Jiang received Master Xie's support, didn't he? He gave me his extra Supreme Qi, allowing me to reach even greater heights and establish myself in the middle of the Tenth Stage."
Lusheng smiled.
This is why he collected Vitality Essence for Jiang Ping.
Tang Kun was taken aback, a strange emotion rising within him, and he murmured softly:
Jiang Ping.
It's related to Jiang Ping again!
Just a few days ago I witnessed the radiant scene of Jiang Ping's partner, and today I discovered that Lusheng, who is close to Jiang Ping, is also not what he used to be.
"Let's go, I don't want to hurt you all." Lusheng spoke again, revealing the domineering presence of a master.
Tang Kun looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, then turned and left, his back view seeming somewhat lonely.
Not long after.
Lusheng finished absorbing the Vitality Essence from the pool, but he wasn't satisfied. "The essence is a bit lacking; it's far from enough to hone the foundation of a Martial Saint. I need to absorb some more."
Then, the three set off, searching for Vitality Essence and not letting any other resources slip by.
Because Lusheng is a master of True Qi Tenth Stage, he is a figure who cannot be ignored here, so his journey was relatively easy and no one dared to provoke him.
Perhaps it was luck, but soon the three of them discovered traces of Vitality Essence in a lush forest.
"The vitality here is incredibly abundant; the Vitality Essence must be much richer than that of the pool we just visited. If we collect all of it, it might solve Junior Brother Jiang's resource problem."
Lusheng was overjoyed; his luck seemed to have always been good.
As the three were about to head into the woods, they saw a man covered in blood running towards them in a panic.
The four met and looked at each other in surprise.
"Li You?" Lusheng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the critically injured Number One on the Ranking.
Li You, disheveled and covered in wounds, said in a trembling voice, "This isn't the place to talk. Come with me."
Lusheng pondered for a moment, then nodded.
The four of them traveled dozens of miles into the dense forest before stopping.
Li You also told the three the truth.
"Zheng Yao and Lu Chenfeng have joined forces to hunt down Jiang Ping?" Lusheng was shocked.
"When I heard Zheng Yao say that, he seemed a little disappointed. The two of them waited for Jiang Ping at the Essence Pool. That pool should be the most Dangerous Land, enough for one person, but I was the one they hunted first."
Li You sighed.
He thought he had a great opportunity to find a whole piece of Vitality Essence, which would make Jiang Ping owe him a favor. But it turned out that someone deliberately didn't collect it and used it specifically to fish for Martial Bone.
"Lu Chenfeng's strength is terrifying, much stronger than Zheng Yao. He's probably close to the Twelfth Stage of True Qi. Non-Self hadn't used the Essence Pool to avoid harming him, I would have died inside."
Li You spoke again, causing Lusheng and the other two to shrink in shock.
"Junior Brother Jiang must be informed of this matter."
It is a place teeming with life, with abundant vegetation, Cinnabar Cliff and strange rocks, and outstanding scenery. There is also a waterfall that is thousands of feet long, which adds to the magnificence of this landscape.
Jiang Ping sat cross-legged in the most lush place of vegetation. He found a Life Water Pool and was currently cultivating, absorbing Vitality Essence to enhance his strength.
Chen Qingyan sat on a rock not far away. She took off her white socks, revealing her snow-white, jade-like ankles, and put her fair and rosy feet into the cool water.
Not long after.
Jiang Ping came over, helped her put on her shoes and socks, and said, "Let's go, it's still a little short. I thought it was enough."
"Aren't you gathering the Supreme Qi too quickly? It's only been a few days," Chen Qingyan couldn't help but say, her eyes showing a hint of emotion.
The other party was searching and absorbing into the Martial Dao Furnace at the same time, and their improvement seemed to be happening at an alarming speed.
Jiang Ping explained, "This Supreme Qi is different from others; it can extend lifespan and is entirely beneficial to Martial Artist, so refining it is naturally faster."
The two had not been out of the area for long when they encountered Lusheng, who looked travel-worn.
"Junior Brother Jiang, I've been looking for you for two days." Lusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Ping Anran and sound.
Next, Lusheng told Jiang Ping about Zheng Yao and the other man, and advised him to leave the Dangerous Land.
"Junior brother is still lacking in vital energy." Jiang Ping remained largely unfazed.
"Senior brother, I have some here." Lusheng took out the Vitality Essence he had collected.
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up; he was also about to reach the Twelfth Stage of True Qi!
