Legend of the Transcendent

After finally controlling his body, Yu Hong spewed out several mouthfuls of blood in a row. Not only was his body severely injured, but his Nascent Soul was also impacted by the attack. He was completely wilted, and if it weren't for several magic treasures continuously activating to resist the explosive power, this blow would have definitely taken half of Yu Hong's life.

He quickly took out a jade bottle and poured out three spirit pills, throwing them into his mouth. This barely suppressed his injuries and allowed him to remain suspended in mid-air.

Suddenly, thunderous rumbling sounded from underground, causing a teeth-grinding cracking sound. The entire earth began to violently shake, and sand dunes collapsed in the intense vibration, as if they were suddenly flattened by a giant hand.

Boom!

Suddenly, a crack opened up in the earth, several hundred meters long and seven or eight meters wide. Countless fine sand poured down along the crack, raising large amounts of smoke and dust. Before the sand could fill the crack, there was another loud noise.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud rose up, followed by a spray of magma.

Yu Hong suddenly realized that the explosion had directly triggered a volcanic eruption. He dared not stay any longer, immediately controlling his flying sword and fleeing into the distance.

Yu Hong never imagined that capturing a demon spirit would cause such a disaster—the entire desert boiled over, the ground cracked like shattered glass, and in an instant, countless cracks spread across the ground... The desert immediately turned into a sea of fire, with magma spraying and lava flowing, creating a scene of the apocalypse.

Yu Hong didn't look back, desperately driving his flying sword to escape. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. Not only did the operation completely fail, but he also suffered from extremely serious injuries and had to return to the sect to recuperate.

Mi Xiaojing had just finished practicing by the spirit spring. He held a book and was reading it carefully. He had an extremely passionate love for books and believed that having a book was happiness.

This book recorded how to excavate spirit grass, how to process it, and how to prepare for alchemy, all of which were topics that Mi Xiaojing had never encountered before.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, Mu Xiaoyin entered the courtyard and called out loudly, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother! Are you here?"

Mi Xiaojing sighed and put away the book before walking out of the house and asking, "Senior Sister, what's the matter?"

Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "Can't I come find you if there's nothing wrong?"

Mi Xiaojing saw that she was carrying a bamboo basket and immediately changed the subject, asking, "What's in there?"

The basket was covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside. ｂｅ𝚍𝚗𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．ｃ𝚘𝚖

Mu Xiaoyin proudly said, "I brought some spirit fruits. Hehe, there are many delicious ones among the collected spirit medicines this time, so I brought some for you to taste. Junior Brother, Senior Sister is good to you!" She boasted.

Mi Xiaojing didn't know why Mu Xiaoyin was friendly to him, so he just thanked her casually.Mu Xiaoyin rolled her eyes and said, "No sincerity! Alright, senior sister won't argue with you. Come and eat."

Opening the covered basket, there were six fruits inside, brightly colored and red. Mi Xiaojing recognized them at a glance as Chi Zhu Fruit, a kind of spirit medicine. Spirit medicines could be eaten directly and had miraculous effects. Of course, they could also be used for alchemy. Most spirit plants needed to undergo complex processing before they could be refined into pills and consumed.

Chi Zhu Fruit was a kind of spirit medicine used to refine the Pei Yuan Pill. Of course, it could also be eaten directly, but its effect on cultivating essence and qi would be greatly reduced.

"Someone stole the spirit fruit..."

Two low-level cultivators walked in from outside.

Mu Xiaoyin's face changed immediately.

These two low-level cultivators were Hong Qing's disciples. Hong Qing was a pill master at the Grass-Benevolence Hall and had always been in a secret rivalry with Chen Laoming. His disciples had also been unfriendly to Chen's disciples, but they didn't dare to openly bully them because Chen had a high position in the sect and was the only grandmaster-level alchemist in the sect.

Chen Zhong was Hong Qing's disciple, in the middle stage of refining qi, and quite domineering. The cultivator next to him was his junior brother, named Chen Er Gou, and also his cousin, in the early stage of refining qi.

Their aptitude for cultivation was good, and they were considered to be Hong Qing's favored disciples.

Mu Xiaoyin's face changed when she saw the two of them come in. Although Chen Shouyi doted on her, she was still an ordinary mortal and had a natural fear of cultivators.

"What do you want?"

Chen Zhong had a long horse face, with a chin that protruded like a shovel. He was very ugly when he smiled, but he didn't know how ugly he was. He smiled maliciously and said, "Don't say I'm bullying you. Since you dare to steal spirit fruit, I'll confiscate it..."

He didn't dare to let Chen Shouyi beat Mu Xiaoyin, but he dared to snatch the spirit fruit.

Chen Er Gou fawned beside him and said, "That's right! That's right! Dare to steal spirit fruit, confiscate it! Confiscate it!" As he spoke, saliva dripped from his mouth.

Mu Xiaoyin protected the basket and took a step back. It was clear that she was afraid.

Mi Xiaojing stepped forward and blocked the two of them. No matter what, Mu Xiaoyin was the only person in the Heart Sect who was friendly to him. According to his temperament, he wouldn't just stand by and watch.

Chen Zhong stared at Mi Xiaojing for a while, then suddenly laughed. "So you're a remnant of the Western Expansion Sect... Haha, you've changed your identity and become a pill boy. Kid, get out of the way, it's none of your business!" He couldn't gauge Mi Xiaojing's strength, so he didn't dare to go too far. Of course, as an outer disciple of the Heart Sect, he felt that oppressing Mi Xiaojing was completely acceptable.

If it weren't for Chen Zhong's words, Mi Xiaojing wouldn't have been emotional, but when he heard the words "remnant of the Western Expansion Sect," his eyes turned red."Get lost!" Mi Xiaojing didn't bother to say more, he just spat out a word, a Spirit Script.

Before the Spirit Script landed, Chen Zhong felt like he was hit by a giant hammer on his head, and his whole body went numb. Even Chen Ergou, who was standing beside him, was affected. Their faces turned red, then blue, and their bodies were shaking.

When they regained some consciousness, Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou were shocked. What kind of attack was this? Just a shout made it unbearable.

"You! You...you..." Chen Zhong pointed at Mi Xiaojing as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Ergou kept retreating. He was only in the Qi Refining stage, and although the attack was not directed at him, he was more injured than Chen Zhong. His legs were weak.

Mi Xiaojing continued to stare at Chen Zhong. "Get lost!"

Chen Zhong sat on the ground. Both attacks were Spirit Script attacks. In other words, Mi Xiaojing launched two attacks with the realm of Great Perfection in Qi Refining, although he used Evolutionary Immortality means, the opponent still couldn't bear it.

Sitting on the ground, Chen Zhong knew it was not good, but he dared not stay any longer. He crawled and rolled towards the gate, looking quite embarrassed.

"You, wait...I will find you...kid, how dare you be so arrogant, I won't let you go..."

Although he was defeated, he continued to talk tough. The two of them crawled to the gate, and Chen Zhong threatened while jumping.

Mi Xiaojing took a step forward. He actually wanted to use a two-word Spirit Script attack, but he was really not proficient.

Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou saw Mi Xiaojing take a step forward outside the gate, and they were so scared that they turned and ran away.
