Jiang Li had never seen such a situation before...
After Luo Yunxi finished speaking, she produced a bottle of pills from somewhere and handed it directly to Jiang Li.
Her delicate and soft fingers then lightly brushed against Jiang Li's palm...
After handing the pills to Jiang Li, Luo Yunxi left directly.
Hiss... This is no saintess, she's practically a demoness...
Jiang Li took a gentle breath. The musk-like scent emanating from Luo Yunxi made him feel dizzy and disoriented...
And that slippery touch of her fingers just now...
Damn it... Am I going to cuck the protagonist...
As Luo Yunxi departed, the surrounding handyman disciples also dispersed.
At this moment, Jiang Li was still filled with confusion.
What exactly did this girl want? Was it because she found him handsome that she wanted to abandon the protagonist and follow him?
That shouldn't be the case... Jiang Li had a realistic understanding of himself. This saintess was no simple character.
Seeing how she navigated effortlessly among the disciples of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect was proof enough.
Right, what were those pills she gave him...
Jiang Li then turned his attention to the medicine bottle in his hand.
The words "Qi Gathering Pill" were clearly engraved on the bottle.
Jiang Li's pupils contracted. It was a Qi Gathering Pill.
This woman... could she see through his strength?
Otherwise, why would she give him something like a Qi Gathering Pill...
She must have realized that he had reached the tenth level of Body Tempering and given him a Qi Gathering Pill for that reason.
After reaching the tenth level of Body Tempering, one needed to rely on Qi Gathering Pills to condense a Qi vortex and achieve the Qi Gathering realm...
Only by stepping into the Qi Gathering realm could one be considered a true cultivator.
Could it be that this girl was truly thanking him for saving Lin Dong's life?
If she only wanted to thank him, why was she so intimate with him just now?
Forget it, I'll focus on improving my cultivation first.
My current strength is still too low...
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then, holding the Qi Gathering Pill, went to find a suitable place to break through.
...
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect Outer Sect Disciple Habitation.
In a luxurious room, many Yellow Springs Demonic Sect disciples were present, their faces pale.
"Crash!!!"
A young man wearing a cyan robe, with a gloomy expression, heavily slammed the cup in his hand onto the ground, producing a crisp crashing sound.
"Zhang Hu is dead, and Shen Yanliang, whom I sent to investigate, has also vanished without a trace. What are you useless fools doing?" Wang Xuan said with icy tone.
"Senior Brother Wang Xuan, we've already questioned many handyman disciples, and they all claim not to have seen Junior Brother Shen..."
"Yes, yes, we've really asked, Senior Brother. Could it be that Junior Brother Shen has gone out of the sect for some reason..."
"We also checked Jiang Li's residence. It was in a mess, already destroyed, but there was no sign of him..."
...
...
The disciples kneeling by the side of the room spoke one after another.
Wang Xuan's expression grew even gloomier. These good-for-nothings were just making excuses.
If these useless individuals weren't still of some use to him, he would have already executed them all.
"I don't care what that Jiang Li is. Immediately dispatch more men to eliminate him. Also, the Blood Spirit Pills from Zhang Hu's responsible area, continue to find new agents..." Wang Xuan continued to speak.
The many disciples kneeling beside him all nodded...
"What are you standing around for... Go quickly and find them..." Wang Xuan added fiercely.
The disciples scrambled out as if their lives depended on it.
...
A mountain cave on the periphery of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Within Jiang Li's body, a spiritual energy vortex began to form.
After reaching the extreme of Body Tempering, consuming a Qi Gathering Pill allows one to condense a spiritual energy vortex within the body.
Once the spiritual energy vortex is formed, one has entered the Qi Gathering realm.
Only by stepping into the Qi Gathering realm does one truly open the door to cultivation.
Upon breaking through to the Qi Gathering realm, cultivators can begin to use spiritual energy for combat.
Even a cultivator at the lowest level of Qi Gathering, the first level, can easily overwhelm several martial artists at the tenth level of Body Tempering.
This kind of realm suppression is utterly unreasonable.
"Rumble!!!"
With a surge of powerful aura erupting from Jiang Li's body.
The spiritual energy vortex within Jiang Li began to take shape.
This also signified that Jiang Li's cultivation had reached the first level of Qi Gathering.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes. He had finally reached the first level of Qi Gathering.
At this moment, Jiang Li was filled with joy. Having reached the first level of Qi Gathering, he could now continue to consume Blood Spirit Pills to improve his cultivation.
Jiang Li then took out the remaining Blood Spirit Pills from before.
As the Blood Spirit Pills continuously entered his body.
The [Heavenly Cycle Creation Art] circulated rapidly, and Jiang Li's aura continued to rise.
...
Time flowed by slowly.
Before long, night fell.
The stars twinkled outside.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
As Jiang Li continued to digest the Blood Spirit Pills within his body, his aura relentlessly climbed.
It seemed that some power within Jiang Li was slowly releasing pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
It was the spiritual energy from the Purple Orchid Star Flower that Jiang Li had obtained from the back mountain and which had been latent within his body.
Jiang Li felt the vortex of spiritual energy within him spinning at an incredible speed.
Immediately after, the aura of the second level of Qi Gathering erupted from Jiang Li's body.
"Whoosh!!!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath. Second level of Qi Gathering.
This innate physique is too incredible, coupled with my Saint-grade top-tier cultivation technique. As long as there are cultivation resources, my realm will skyrocket...
Of course, the 300-year-old Purple Orchid Star Flower was also indispensable.
Jiang Li felt that there was still a considerable amount of latent spiritual energy within him. As long as he continued to cultivate.
That spiritual energy would still be absorbed by him.
Now, I can try this [Star Body Tempering Art].
Jiang Li sensed that the sky had already darkened outside, and starlight seemed to be falling upon it.
He hoped this Heavenly-grade martial art would bring him some pleasant surprises.
...
Then, Jiang Li directly went outside the mountain cave.
At this moment, there were no disciples patrolling the surrounding area.
The place Jiang Li chose for cultivation was extremely secluded.
Normal people would never come to such a place to wander around.
Outside the mountain cave.
Jiang Li, following the cultivation method of the [Star Body Tempering Art] in his mind, slowly circulated the spiritual energy within his body.
The spiritual energy circulated along an incredibly miraculous path.
Tiny specks of starlight sprinkled upon Jiang Li's body.
Jiang Li was still holding an Enlightenment Stone in his hand.
Under the influence of the Enlightenment Stone, Jiang Li's mind was exceptionally clear.
Insights into the [Star Body Tempering Art] were continuously bursting forth in his mind.
The starlight shone upon Jiang Li's body, and was continuously absorbed by his physique.
Jiang Li felt as if his entire body was in an extremely warm place.
It seemed as if the power of stars was flowing within him.
If anyone could see Jiang Li's state right now, they would be utterly astonished.
At this moment, Jiang Li was like a star itself...
