Chapter 19: Nine Nether Mountain

Grit!

When Lu Jin said those words, Huang Yun nearly crushed his molars.

“I really don’t know!”

Lu Jin walked over, and just as he raised his hand

“I know! I know!”

Huang Yun panicked. “I heard my Master say that three hundred miles north, in Nine Nether Mountain, there is a stalk of Soul-Breaking Delusion Grass!”

Hearing Huang Yun say this, the disciples behind him couldn’t help but change their expressions. Their looks were keenly caught by Lu Jin, so he asked:

“Is it very dangerous there?”

Huang Yun rolled his eyes. He had initially hoped that the Guardian Beast protecting the Soul-Breaking Delusion Grass would kill Lu Jin and avenge him. But now, it seemed he had no choice but to tell him the secret.

“Yes! There is a Guardian Beast, and it’s very powerful. You can’t beat it!”

Lu Jin smiled: “I can’t beat it?”

Huang Yun rolled his eyes at him again and stopped talking.

“Nine Nether Mountain is huge. Where exactly does the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit grow?”

“Immortal Cloud Ravine.”

“Thanks.”

Lu Jin finished speaking and nodded with satisfaction. Empress Qinglian had asked him to find the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit within three months. Now that he had news of it, it was naturally a happy occasion. Even if there was a powerful Guardian Beast, he didn’t care. For Empress Qinglian, he was willing to risk his life!

After speaking, Lu Jin looked at Mo Chen and Zi Xuan:

“I have matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave first!”

The two were stunned: “Brother Lu Jin, if you leave, we’re afraid…”

They clearly lacked the confidence to make Master Feng Lang willingly obey them!

“It doesn’t matter. Once Ling Tao is cured, you can leave.”

Mo Chen: “Just as simple as that?”

Lu Jin: “Just as simple as that.”

Then, he looked at Huang Yun, who was still unconvinced nearby:

“I can kill you, and I can also heal you. So, don’t try any funny business.”

As his voice fell, a burst of Spiritual Energy, utilizing the restorative power of the Great Evolution Dragon Transformation Art, emanated from him and drilled into Huang Yun’s body.

Instantly, Huang Yun’s hugely swollen face recovered to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“Hm? This…”

Huang Yun was bewildered. He clearly hadn’t expected Lu Jin to possess such a powerful method! But since he was so capable, why didn’t he treat the person himself? Perhaps he couldn’t cure the Snake Catcher’s injury?

Regardless, Huang Yun was thoroughly shocked at this moment, and the other Great Wind Hall disciples present were equally astonished. This Lu Jin not only had powerful combat strength but also possessed powerful, unknown methods!

“Thank your Shizun for me.”

Lu Jin said this, walked to the alchemy cauldron, shot a burst of Spiritual Energy into it from his hand, and then left.

Mo Chen and Zi Xuan watched him leave, feeling inexplicably nervous. They weren’t sure if they would face retaliation in this Great Wind Hall after Lu Jin left…

But the fact was, after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Master Feng Lang walked out. When he saw Huang Yun’s restored face and the Spiritual Energy Lu Jin had injected into the alchemy cauldron, his eyes were filled with absolute shock!

Gulp

Huang Yun, standing behind him, even heard the rare sound of his Master swallowing saliva frantically out of desire!

“Master, about this matter, should we”

Slap!

Just as Huang Yun was about to speak about Lu Jin again, Master Feng Lang suddenly slapped him, swelling up Huang Yun’s face that had just gone down!

“Master!”

“Shut up! Quickly light the alchemy cauldron for me! I’m starting the refinement of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Pill immediately!”

“Huh? Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Pill? This…”

The expressions of the group of disciples changed drastically! And Huang Yun was completely speechless now! That Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Pill was something his Shizun had been pursuing all his life!

But what exactly was that Spiritual Energy Lu Jin left in the alchemy cauldron?

With nervousness and confusion, the group began to act.

Meanwhile, Mo Chen and Zi Xuan left with Ling Tao. The two were extremely apprehensive, but after realizing there were no issues, they left excitedly.

Ling Tao had regained consciousness. Upon learning that a super-powerful Holy Hall disciple had saved him, he was overjoyed and full of anticipation to meet his savior.

* * *

Meanwhile, after leaving the Great Wind Hall, Lu Jin immediately rushed toward Nine Nether Mountain.

Since he had a lead on the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit, he definitely wanted to get it done immediately to avoid any unforeseen changes.

Nine Nether Mountain, the old Lu Jin wouldn’t have even dared to go there. Countless demon beasts existed within those mountain forests, each incredibly tough. Without reaching the Golden Core Realm, one wouldn’t dare barge in rashly!

Even Golden Core Realm experts dared not act alone. The number of experts from various factions who died there every year was considerable.

But now that Lu Jin had his current strength, he was no longer afraid!

Whoosh!

When he descended onto a peak in Nine Nether Mountain, the sky had turned completely dark. Amidst the gloom, roars of demon beasts could be heard, giving a hair-raising feeling.

Not long after Lu Jin descended into the forest, a huge boom suddenly echoed from the woods, and his eyes changed abruptly!

“Someone is cultivating? And…”

When a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation reached him, his expression turned to shock!

“Is this that bitch Liu Ruyan?”

The aura of the Supreme Bone shared the same origin as him. Even after leaving his body for so long, Liu Ruyan still hadn’t completely refined it. So when this aura erupted, Lu Jin could still feel a faint, familiar fluctuation.

“I didn’t expect to meet her here!”

“Since that’s the case, how can I let you go!”

Whoosh!

Lu Jin leaped into the air again, flying rapidly toward the direction of the fluctuation!

Boom!

At this moment, amidst the mountain forest, in a chaotic area, a figure sat cross-legged. Waves of fluctuation emanated from her body, and the verdant color of the surrounding forest withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“You have cultivated the Great Plunder Immortal Art to this realm. From now on, you can plunder and devour anytime, anywhere, and your cultivation speed will skyrocket tenfold!” The Fox Master’s voice rang in Liu Ruyan’s ear.

“Thank you for your guidance, Fox Master!”

Liu Ruyan’s voice was excited. In this cultivation session, she had wiped out a Sect, plundered their essence blood, and combined with the super elixir Five Elements Barrier-Shattering Pill refined by Ji Yaoyue, her cultivation had broken through the barrier in one fell swoop, entering the Third-Grade Golden Core Realm!

It was even stronger than she had anticipated, and her true combat power could contend with a Fourth-Grade Golden Core Realm!

“Shizun, now I have enough strength to kill Lu Jin! When the time comes, I will completely plunder the Fortune on his body!”

The Fox Master’s shrill voice laughed:

“Don’t forget what you promised your Master.”

“Please rest assured, Shizun, this disciple will never forget!”

At this moment, Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and looked into the dark void ahead. A figure flew over. When she saw the newcomer, her eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

“Senior Brother Yang Dianfeng!”
