“I can use it. Have your Fourth Senior Brother bring me five drops.” Ling Tian naturally knew how precious the Azure Dragon Jade Milk was, but he truly needed it. Since he had used the Ice Palace’s greatest treasure, he had to return at least some profit to them.

The simultaneous casting of two powerful spells instantly drained all of Yan Yan’s strength. She no longer even had the energy to remain airborne and could only descend onto the arena, staring at the City of Curtain Light in the sky with an expression of fervent excitement.

A panel swiftly appeared in Jiang Liushi’s mind, densely packed with countless figures and streams of data.

The collapsed area was not large. At a glance, amid the expanse of green hillside, there was merely a yellow-brown “scar.” A great deal of soil and rubble had piled up across the already narrow mountain road, making it impossible for vehicles to pass directly.

On the contrary, she greatly admired Xu You’s schemes and methods, raising him from an insignificant passerby to an opponent worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with him in debate.

My greatest problem at the moment was that I was bound. I tried shifting a little. The restraint was a plastic cable tie—not as impossible to deal with as handcuffs, but still extremely sturdy. And the more I struggled, the tighter it became.

The energy of the world, especially once one entered the path of alchemy, possessed far too many branches and varieties. Take the attributes of water and fire, for example. If someone with a water attribute consumed a fire-attributed inner core, they would certainly die horribly, because they could not absorb it at all. They would either be suffocated by the overwhelming energy or die from the clash between opposing attributes.

Qi Xue did not mind that Ye Fei had deliberately chosen a game she did not know how to play. She simply let him put his arm around her, docile to an almost extraordinary degree.

Li Jun was overcome by that very feeling. He immediately remembered the electric net that had covered the entire mutated bear. If it were placed over a person, it could instantly electrocute a living man until he was cooked through.

They simply left no opportunity untouched. The moment their opponent revealed even the slightest flaw, the blue-side army could seize it at once and instantly take control of the advantage and initiative.

A tremulous humming suddenly rang out. The fluctuation had indeed spread, but it was clearly not what Sean had wanted.

Luo Ling stared blankly at Su Wanbai’s utterly sincere face, devoid of even the slightest trace of falsehood, and for a moment could not recover her senses.

Though it was not particularly complete and appeared somewhat damaged, compared with before, it had clearly changed.

Liu Qian curled his lip. This girl actually wanted to trick him? They said that three strikes were the limit, and Liu Qian was not foolish enough to fall for it again.

In truth, it was not only Han Zixin. Was she not the same? If anything happened to Liu Qian, she would not fare any better and would follow him wherever he went.

Apart from the disciples of the Moon-Covering Sect, who wore awkward expressions, everyone else supported Yi Fan without exception.

Originally, if a contestant achieved a pentakill and still could not come onstage to give a speech, the spectators below would inevitably harbor some complaints.

Gongyang Li cursed furiously several times before collapsing to the ground. The violent power of his physical body vanished in an instant, leaving him as frail as a sick lion.

Therefore, even though Ji Zhiruo had refused him time and again, he still stubbornly insisted on becoming dual-cultivation partners with her.

“How could you know? There is no man in the world who does not love beauty. I refuse to believe the founder was celibate.” Yuan Shou disagreed with Lu Luyi’s view.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived at what appeared to be a market. The surrounding buildings made that easy enough to determine.

Fortunately, the tightly closed gate opened at that moment. However, since it had already been battered to pieces, when the people inside gently pushed it, it fell apart like a sheet of paper.

They could not very well leave the two golden seats empty. If no one occupied them, how could they inspire others to strive? Bai Silu and Guantong Shan each proposed a suitable candidate. Uncle Duan likewise smilingly produced his own choice, only for the two men to discover that it was the same person they had nominated.

The World-Origin Flame of the Orange Flame Realm was indeed powerful, comparable to the innate astral energy of a Martial Ancestor, but it could only be used to refine low-grade magical artifacts.

This man’s death was gruesome. His face had been beaten into a bloody mess, and his body was covered with signs of a merciless assault. The manner of his death was much the same as Li Boyan’s.

The rosy glow in the sky gradually faded. Deep crimson became vermilion, and vermilion turned pale red.

Even the Heavenly Dao talisman, which had already grown considerably, began to tremble ever so slightly at that moment.

Thus, for him, increasing his physical constitution was the key. The stronger his constitution, the greater the strain his body could withstand, and the more fully he could unleash his true combat strength.

Unfortunately, because this ability encompassed so many different types, it was powerful yet, for that very reason, limited in how effectively it could be brought into play.

Yuan Jinyu smiled. Indeed—no matter how much power or influence one possessed, would one not still have to bow before Ninth Brother?

This disciple exchange assembly held different meanings for cultivators of different realms. There were not many representatives from the various sects who had reached the Heart-Movement Realm or the Golden Core Realm and above, but every one of them was an elite. Their primary purpose was to compete in martial arts, win glory, and bring honor to their sects.

The shopkeeper’s family owned only one fairly old seven-seat van, but it was better than nothing. Wu Jun and the others did not complain; they simply paid to rent it, then drove the van toward Liu Family Village.

What was more, the people of the Hall of Immortality had never been concerned with worldly power. Their allegiance was to their school. How could the Hall of Immortality’s aunt possibly proclaim herself emperor?

“That is because you have not awakened your abilities. When you were ten, you were already capable of crossing the Great Marsh. In your previous life, when you returned to recover from your injuries, you left certain things behind. Those things should have been meant for you.” The Demon Emperor waved a hand, and a Heaven-Tier storage spirit ring appeared before Ross.
