Chapter 225 Peach Wood Qi Nourishing Pool
Qingyan did not pursue the matter further.
It wasn't that he had a good temper, but rather that it was unnecessary. Compared to the enormous opportunity before him, chasing after an unknown petty thief was simply not worth the effort.
Qingyan's eyes greedily gazed down at the peach grove below.
A misty haze rose up, making the entire peach grove seem dreamlike, as if graceful peach fairies were dancing on the branches.
If you look closely, you'll discover that inside the peach grove, a precious place is bubbling with life, releasing countless wisps of mist.
……
the other side.
The petty thief had just escaped using the Shadow Step technique and was about to soar to new heights when a fist suddenly appeared before him, knocking him down unexpectedly.
"who!"
The thief clutched his stomach and howled in agony, as black smoke billowed from his feet and he vanished instantly.
No matter what kind of expert he is, his Shadow Step can turn danger into safety. He'll settle accounts with this person after he finds his master!
As he was thinking, he took a few steps forward, and just then, another fist came flying from the side.
This time he saw it clearly; the attacker was also using the Shadow Step technique!
And it landed in the exact same spot as me, as if it had been predicted in advance!
"How can it be!"
He screamed as Ye Kang grabbed one of his hands and twisted it with tremendous force, shattering his palm and dislocating his arm. The crisp sound of bones breaking was accompanied by a pig-like scream.
Ye Kang showed no mercy, launching a deadly attack right away, his next punch already slamming into the opponent's dantian.
Moments later, the thief was barely alive, lying in fear on the grass below.
Ye Kang stood in front of him and said coldly, "You're not bad. Although you're only at the ninth level of the initial stage, your Shadow Step is almost at the mastery level."
Indeed, Ye Kang received another unexpected surprise.
Originally, I wanted to go to the place where the White Lotus Sect released the Heavenly Wolf Smoke to check the situation, but I ran into a petty thief who passed through the Shadow Gate on the way.
Judging from his appearance, he just came from over there and should know quite a bit of information.
Even if they don't know, it doesn't matter, they're going to be killed anyway.
The thief, his face filled with fear, cried out in alarm, "Who are you! How do you know my Shadow Gate footwork?!"
Ye Kang didn't explain, but instead stepped on his left knee.
"I'll only ask once: what happened over there? Why did the White Lotus Sect release the Heavenly Wolf Smoke?"
Feeling the slight force on his knee, the thief showed no resistance and shouted, "It's a peach wood Qi-nourishing pool! They want to use it to flush out the poison and improve their aptitude!"
"What is that?"
Ye Kang raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.
Washing away the poison is already an excellent effect, but to also improve one's aptitude? Is there really such a good thing in the world!
Ye Kang's current aptitude is only mediocre, which greatly hinders his comprehension. The higher the aptitude, the less comprehension is required to comprehend martial arts.
This is the difference between a genius and a good-for-nothing.
Therefore, upon hearing that it could improve his aptitude, Ye Kang's breathing quickened slightly.
The thief hurriedly said, "It's a treasure land that can only be created in a thousand-year-old peach forest. Peach trees have spirits, and you need to release the useless spiritual energy they store regularly to form a Qi-nourishing pool. Washing in the pool once can eliminate 60% of the pill poison, and it may even improve your physical constitution!"
The thief dared not hide anything and wanted to reveal every word he knew.
Behind them, Madam Dai and Dai Huanhuan came out.
“What he said is true. Peach wood Qi-nourishing pools are extremely rare, especially in secret realms where spiritual energy is abundant, and the resulting Qi-nourishing pools are even more concentrated than those outside. If that’s the case, it’s reasonable for the White Lotus Sect to want more people to be cleansed.”
Madam Dai nodded, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes.
There's no way around it; the effects of the peach wood energy-nurturing pool are just too tempting.
Who hasn't taken elixirs to break through in martial arts?
Even Ye Kang, who relied on the system, had consumed countless Qi-restoring pills, not to mention powerful pills like the Glazed Body-Nourishing Pill and the True Tiger Rejuvenating Pill.
Each pill produces toxicity, which, over time, will inevitably create an irreversible bottleneck.
If the poison can be washed away, it will definitely greatly improve the upper limit of martial arts, and it is even possible to break through on the spot!
Seeing Madam Dai's expression, Ye Kang felt a surge of excitement.
"In that case, we have no choice but to venture into this place."
He then looked at the thief: "You were discovered just now, so you ran away?"
"Yes! That guy is terrifyingly strong. If I stay any longer, he will definitely kill me!"
"Wise choice."
Ye Kang nodded and moved his foot away.
He keeps his word and won't crush the other person's knees.
Then a burst of sword energy shot out, shattering the bandit's head.
Having acquired several hundred points of enlightenment, Ye Kang turned around and said, "Madam Dai, I would like to trouble you to go and have a fight with that protector."
"Why is that? You're quite strong, why bother with all this effort?"
Ye Kang smirked and said, "Since the Shadow Gate has all come in, we can't let any of them leave alive. To achieve this goal, the White Lotus Sect might as well become my ally."
"what you up to……"
Ye Kang smiled and said, "So it is... like this..."
……
Soon, in the peach grove of the valley.
Madam Dai flew over with Dai Huanhuan, a smile on her face.
Before they even got too close, Qingyan had already sensed them, and a vast killing intent immediately swept towards them.
"Get out!"
Madam Dai waved her hand to dispel the murderous aura and chuckled, "I wondered who was so domineering as to use the Heavenly Wolf Smoke in the secret realm. Turns out it's just someone with glaucoma."
Qingyan opened his eyes, and the pair of eyeballs hanging from his earlobes blinked rapidly.
“You surnamed Dai, I discovered this place first, and it can only be enjoyed by the disciples of the White Lotus Sect. Don’t force me to say it a second time.”
“Oh dear, you glaucoma patient are so rude. Dai is my late husband’s surname. I don’t have the surname Dai.”
"I don't have time to argue with you, get lost!"
"How rude of you! You don't need me to waste my breath on you."
Madam Dai smiled lightly, her eyes conveying only two words.
Disdainful.
Qingyan didn't say anything more. This person was clearly here to cause trouble. If he didn't fight her, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of her.
Qingyan is also stubborn; he'll fight if he wants to, without wasting words.
In an instant! A flash of blue light appeared, and a huge phantom eyeball suddenly appeared in the sky.
Madam Dai threw out a thick purple smoke with her backhand, which not only formed a purple beast above her head, but also forced back the White Lotus Cult members who were eager to try below.
Dai Huanhuan immediately stepped back and watched from a distance.
Then the giant eyeball in the sky blinked, and a sharp blue light rushed over. Madam Dai slapped out a giant purple palm, and then a cold light flashed in her hand. She moved like a nimble snake, her steps were agile, and her fast knife went straight for the eyeball.
Swish swish!
Those with weaker strength could only see the two colors, one blue and one purple, clashing fiercely in the sky. The sheer power of the battle deterred any White Lotus Cult members who wanted to intervene from even getting close.
Above the ninth rank, the hierarchy is clearly defined.
The difference between the initial and intermediate stages lies in this.
Even though there were a few White Lotus Cult members at the initial ninth level, they didn't dare to rush up to help.
Just as the battle began, a thin, middle-aged figure quietly approached from the entrance of the peach grove.
