Although Yang Qi was heartbroken by the loss of 30,000 sect contributions, he understood that under the circumstances, giving up on killing He Long was the wisest approach.
After completing several sect missions, Yang Qi had nearly 100,000 sect contributions in his hands. However, he inquired about the sect contributions required for the Sword of Domination Art, and found that it required a full 180,000 sect contributions!
Now the total sect contributions in Yang Qi's hands are less than 100,000, which is barely half of what he needed. There is still a big gap from the 180,000 sect contributions.
Eighteen thousand sect contributions are not small. The general sect mission only requires a few thousand sect contributions. Only those with huge risks will have generous rewards. However, even a nine-star martial sect may fail in a mission with huge risks.
After receiving the sect's contribution, Yang Qi rushed to Lingyun Valley.
Outside the palace, Lin Qingyu's eyes fell on Yang Qi and he nodded slightly, "It's not bad to be able to kill the Nine-Star Martial Sect who took the Corpse King Pill, although it's a bit tricky."
"I was lucky to have discovered the location of the Corpse King Pill. Otherwise, I would have to wait for Senior Brother Liu to rescue me." Yang Qi said hurriedly.
lucky!
It was indeed very lucky, because the Corpse King Pill was a position that practitioners could control and suppress during their lifetime. The reason why Shangguan Fei placed it on his chest was because no matter what creature there was, it would be fully protected. Who knew that Yang Qi's attack was so fierce that he actually shattered his chest and discovered the existence of the Corpse King Pill.
In fact, when Shangguan Fei turned into a monster, he was already dead. The reason why he could still fight was entirely because of the Corpse King Pill. Therefore, without the Corpse King Pill, the monster would turn into Shangguan Fei again. This was also because Shangguan Fei did not take the divine blood and could not refine the Corpse King Pill. Otherwise, it would be like the blood of an undead corpse, directly integrated into the body of a cultivator, and even if he was killed, he would still look like a monster.
"You haven't lost yourself." Lin Qingyu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "This time, the Purple Emperor left an opportunity for those who entered. They are all outstanding people of their generation. Almost everyone has the combat power of a nine-star martial master. There are even many who are at the peak of martial masters and half-step martial masters. If you are too careless, you are likely to die."
Yang Qi nodded solemnly. He was indeed the top-ranked genius of this generation, but a generation of geniuses only lasted for three to five years, and the cultivators who participated in the competition for the Purple Emperor opportunity were all martial masters under the age of fifty. Some of the top geniuses who were on the list of geniuses 10 or 20 years ago had even entered the martial honor level. Even if they did not enter the martial honor level, there were many who reached the nine-star martial master level or even the peak of the martial master level.
I’m afraid that any one of these people is no weaker than Shangguan Fei who has not activated the Corpse King Pill!
This time, in the fight for the Purple Emperor opportunity, he was not facing those ordinary nine-star martial masters, but those geniuses of the older generation. Perhaps these geniuses were not as talented and potential as Yang Qi and others in Yang Qi's generation, but after practicing for another ten or twenty years, their accumulation was by no means comparable to that of the geniuses of Yang Qi's generation.
"Master, has the quota for Tianjianmen been confirmed?" Yang Qi looked at Lin Qingyu and asked curiously.
"It has not been completely confirmed yet, but three people have been confirmed: you, Zhao Qian, and someone from Lei Yun's sect." Lin Qingyu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Qian
Yang Qi was startled, but he didn't feel too strange. Xuantian Sword Master was the number one swordsman of this generation. He had not accepted any disciples for hundreds of years, and had many disciples. Even the foundation of Xuantian Palace was stronger than that of Lin Qingyu. After all, Xuantian Sword Master was one of the people in Tianjian Sect who had a great chance of reaching the Martial King Realm, while Lin Qingyu had already lost his way to the Martial King Realm. It was not difficult for Xiao Xuantian to ask for a quota.
"Senior Lei only has one spot? Haven't you decided who will go yet?" Yang Qi frowned slightly. He knew that Lei Yun had always wanted to fight for two spots, but it seemed he had not succeeded.
Yun Lan and Liu Fei are both good friends of Yang Qi. No matter which of them misses this opportunity, Yang Qi will feel sorry.
"Although there is only one spot under Master Lei, you don't have to worry. The remaining seven spots will be decided through competition. Your two friends are not without a chance." Lin Qingyu said.
Hearing this, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but also understood that although there was still a chance for Leiyun's disciples to compete, it would be extremely difficult to get another spot. After all, there were many practitioners eyeing the remaining seven spots, and each of them was extremely powerful. Whether it was Liu Fei or Yun Lan, their own cultivation was still a little weak.
Even if Yang Qi were to compete for a spot, he wouldn't be able to say that he was completely sure of getting it. After 10 to 20 years of practice, the strength of each of the geniuses of the older generation had reached an extremely terrifying level.
"In half a month, you will gather in the imperial capital. During this period, you should not leave the sect and practice with peace of mind, so as not to miss the time." Lin Qingyu looked at Yang Qi and said slowly.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. If he missed such an opportunity due to his own delay, he would regret it deeply.
"This time, while traveling outside, I obtained a precious elixir. I would like to ask Master to help me refine some pills." Yang Qi said.
"Spiritual medicine?" Lin Qingyu was stunned, then smiled and asked, "What kind of spiritual medicine is it?"
Yang Qi had good luck as he obtained the Hundred Herb Fruit very early. Even many Martial Lords would be tempted by it. After all, it was an elixir that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Martial Lord level. It was of great use whether it was given to disciples or younger generations of the family.
Yang Qi's mind moved, and the next moment, a piece of Xuan Liu's essence appeared in his hand.
“This is…” Looking at the piece of green essence in Yang Qi’s hand and feeling the majestic vitality contained in it, Lin Qingyu’s pupils couldn’t help shrinking, “Xuan Liu Essence!”
Lin Qingyu himself had made considerable achievements in the art of alchemy, so he was naturally familiar with the Xuanliu Essence, an elixir that could increase one's lifespan. Even the King of Martial Arts would be tempted by such a treasure. However, there was no demand for it, and no one was willing to sell it!
"This is a good thing. For a practitioner at the peak of Martial Honor, it is a priceless treasure!" Lin Qingyu said with a slightly excited look.
“Master, if the essence of the Black Willow is refined into a pill, will it be helpful to you?” Yang Qi asked hurriedly.
Lin Qingyu gave up on the path to becoming a Martial King, not because he took the wrong path or had problems with his practice, but because his energy was scattered and his life span was insufficient. If Lin Qingyu had been given a long time, he could have entered the Martial King realm. Unfortunately, the life span of a Martial Honored Realm is only a thousand years!
Lin Qingyu looked at Yang Qi with relief, but then shook his head and said, "You are thoughtful, but this pill is useless to me. I once helped the sect refine the Wanshou Pill, so I have two Wanshou Pills in my hand."
The Wanshou Pill is made from the essence of the black willow as the main ingredient. The first time a practitioner takes it, it can increase their lifespan by 40 years. The second time they take it, it can increase their lifespan by 20 years. The third time they take it, it is no longer effective. The Wanshou Pill can only increase their lifespan by 60 years at most, which is a far cry from its name. (To be continued)
