#363 - This little gain is not shabby at all!
The governor's mansion.
A flower snake slithered into the room.
It paused for a moment, confirming that no one was tracking or investigating.
Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of blood mist.
The blood mist dissipated, revealing a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes tightly closed.
"Hiss, hiss!"
The flower snake slithered over and coiled around the Taoist priest's waist.
In the next instant, the Taoist priest opened his eyes.
"Huff!"
Xu Cheng Xian exhaled, calming his mind.
He had thought he was just going out for a trip, meeting someone, and then returning.
After all, he had Wang Shanlu and Cheng Ji, both of whom were in the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Moreover, looking at Wang Shanlu's confident demeanor, he was practically patting his chest, saying that before retrieving the item from the South Sea Dragon Palace, he would cover up and take care of everything for him.
He didn't expect to run into Cheng Kong.
"This guy's character is too bad!" Xu Cheng Xian thought to himself.
Base, insidious, and untrustworthy!
Because of this, he had just refused to go to the Two Realms River right now.
Although it was to get benefits for himself, he really couldn't trust Cheng Kong.
He should wait for the Yellow Dragon Clan to send someone, and then go together on the way.
He wasn't falsely accusing anyone without reason.
Cheng Ji going to Lingzhou to find Cheng Kong meant that the two sides must have almost reached an agreement before bringing this monk to Xuzhou to meet him.
In other words, Cheng Kong had agreed to cooperate.
This was why Cheng Ji and Wang Shanlu were willing to let him see his 'snake pet'.
Otherwise, exposing the most crucial part of his plan to a competitor who was also interested in the item they wanted to steal would be too foolish.
After meeting, Cheng Kong even proposed testing the skills of his snake pet, Xiao Hua, which was already a bit excessive.
According to the cooperation between the two sides, adding conditions at the last minute was suspected of undermining the deal.
If Cheng Kong's cultivation base hadn't been higher than the two, Cheng Ji and Wang Shanlu would have fallen out with him on the spot.
After getting rid of Cheng Ji and Wang Shanlu, he could kill them along with the snake pet, taking everything he obtained from the South Sea Dragon Palace for himself.
"Since Ling Xiao can see through his intentions, she should be prepared," Xu Cheng Xian pondered.
Cheng Kong could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive Ling Xiao.
Don't underestimate the insight of a female emperor, especially when she hasn't been bewitched by beauty.
Ling Xiao had told Xu Cheng Xian her guess when they met.
After leaving, she even tested Cheng Kong once.
She deliberately said that the other party wanted to kill the flower snake for her to use for cultivation.
Cheng Kong didn't deny it.
"From this point of view, he really doesn't have much sincerity towards Ling Xiao," Xu Cheng Xian narrowed his eyes.
Such a scoundrel actually dared to covet his sister!
And in such a despicable way.
"Who cares about being some dog-like Ming Consort!"
The peak of the Arhat realm, is that so great?
If he went all out, he would still have some confidence in killing this bastard.
But he couldn't.
He silently recited in his mind: "Fourth Ground Bodhisattva, Fourth Ground Bodhisattva, Fourth Ground Bodhisattva."
Suppressing the rising murderous intent.
Behind Cheng Kong, there was not only a Fourth Ground Bodhisattva, but his master was also about to become a First Ground Bodhisattva.
A relic of a Fifth Ground Bodhisattva allowed Xu Cheng Xian to condense more than 20,000 points of essence blood qi.
He knew better than anyone how great the power contained within was.
He really didn't have the ability to provoke such a big disaster at the moment.
"Endure it a little longer!" Xu Cheng Xian gritted his teeth, "I'm getting stronger very quickly!"
He didn't like this feeling at all!
It was stifling.
After separating from Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi, he had imagined many times the scene of the reunion between siblings.
The most frequent scene in his expectations was the female emperor sister and the Taoist Lord brother being bullied, and then he would appear out of nowhere, subduing all sides with earth-shattering power, and standing up for them.
Also, to show the prestige of being the eldest brother!
The eldest brother doesn't just know how to bully and exploit you, taking advantage of your benefits!
But he didn't expect to meet so soon.
Of course, it was a good thing to reunite and see each other earlier, but as soon as they met, he learned that Ling Xiao was in a dangerous situation, and he didn't help, but instead took advantage of her benefits again, which made him very unhappy.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and wiped his waist.
The flower snake spat out those lotus seeds.
"Lotus seeds of the Tranquil Heart Lotus?"
After sensing it, the lotus seeds had very pure and rich spiritual energy.
According to what was written in the jade slip given by Ling Yunzi and Ling Xiao before, it should be a Xuan-grade top-grade spiritual object.
Although strictly speaking, only the qualities of the Heaven-grade and Earth-grade could be called heavenly treasures.
But these lotus seeds were obviously carefully cultivated in a place with abundant spiritual energy, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them heavenly treasures.
"Forget it, I'll keep them."
"I'll eat them after this breakthrough."
After thinking about it, Xu Cheng Xian put the things back.
These lotus seeds were obviously more useful for improving the realm of the divine soul.
And if he ate them now, it would be a bit of a waste.
After completely refining the swallowed relic, the realm of the divine soul and the realm of the body should not be far from breaking through.
Xu Cheng Xian quickly scanned the number panel.
[Body Realm: Essence Realm (80320/100000)]
[Divine Soul Realm: Essence Soul Realm (80559/100000)]
"Sure enough, the difference isn't too big."
After he completely refined the relic of the Bodhisattva realm, the realm of the divine soul would definitely be very close to the edge of breaking through.
As long as he was alive and still breathing, his blood qi would increase every second, and his divine soul and body would slowly increase accordingly.
However, the condensation of essence blood qi was a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult.
Previously, there had been a situation where the blood qi had not increased to the point of breaking through the rank, and the body and divine soul had stagnated.
Then, if the essence blood qi did not increase to the extent of breaking through the realm, he would definitely not be able to break through the realm and overcome the tribulation, and these two realms might enter stagnation again.
Under such a premise, it would be too wasteful to eat spiritual objects that condense the divine soul.
"Tsk." Xu Cheng Xian suddenly thought that Ling Xiao was now also in the late stage of the demon general realm.
According to this growth rate, she shouldn't be far from breaking through, right?
He had the system in hand, and had successively obtained two good things, and originally thought that his cultivation base had improved fast enough, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiao was not far behind.
"After all, she was a female emperor in her previous life!"
Under such a passive situation, she could still maintain such a cultivation speed.
Ling Yunzi, presumably, is not far behind either.
"Yunzi had already prepared in his previous life, leaving a backhand, maybe his strength is stronger than ours now!" Xu Cheng Xian suddenly felt the pressure of being the eldest brother again.
"Cultivate!"
He must improve the cultivation base of his clone to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible!
… …
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations, Host!]
[Completely devoured and refined a wisp of divine thought.]
[Gained blood qi +1000, essence blood qi +60! Divine soul realm +120!]
"… … Heh."
The corners of Xu Cheng Xian's mouth twitched, and he was amused by the anger, and couldn't help but scold Cheng Kong again.
This little gain is not enough to be shabby!
