Chapter 5: Qi Refining Level 7
None of the three members of Zhou Chen's team survived. Chen Li retracted his sword and took away all their belongings.
Then he shifted his attention to the armored bull over there.
"I'll take this armored bull." Chen Li turned to look at Bai Xueyin and said in a flat voice.
Bai Xueyin was fully aware of her situation. If Chen Li hadn't saved them, they would n't have been able to save the Iron-Armored Bull, let alone their lives.
So Bai Xueyin nodded and replied: "Okay."
Chen Li ignored him, put away the Iron-Armored Bull, and turned around to leave.
Saving Bai Xueyin and the others was just a side job. After all, Chen Li’s real goal was just this armored bull.
The reason why I took action at the critical moment just now was actually because I was afraid that the Iron-Armored Bull would escape and I would not be able to find it.
However, now that Zhou Chen is dead, Zhao Bin will definitely get the news, so he must improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.
After returning to his residence, Chen Li disassembled the armored bull and put it aside.
Then he took out a few more bags and placed them on the table.
This is the storage bag for Zhou Chen and his people. It was distributed by the sect after they became outer disciples.
Although Chen Li had it before, after he was demoted to a menial disciple, the storage bag was naturally taken back.
Chen Li injected his spiritual consciousness into the storage bag and was surprised to find that Zhou Chen actually had seven spirit stones, and there were also three spirit stones in the other two bags.
Ten spirit stones in total, plus the meat of this iron-armored bull, I'm afraid that after absorbing them all, my own cultivation will be improved.
If he kills Zhou Chen, Zhao Bin will definitely not let him go. The only way now is to improve his strength as quickly as possible so that when Zhao Bin comes to kill him, he will be able to fight.
Thinking in his mind, Chen Li glanced at the cut-up monster meat over there.
Would it be more effective if I swallowed the meat of the Iron-Armored Bull and then absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stone?
Chen Li did as he said. He roasted the meat of the Iron-Armored Bull and ate it all in one gulp.
He thought he would not suffer much pain this time, but at this moment, the spiritual energy rushed wildly in Chen Li's body, making him feel like his bones were about to break.
He hurriedly guided the spiritual energy and did not care about the spiritual stones on the ground.
There is too much spiritual energy in the body, and it is still running rampant inside. If he absorbs the spiritual energy from the spirit stone at this time, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
But what Chen Li didn't expect was that the spiritual energy in the ten spirit stones actually flowed into his body involuntarily.
Chen Li himself was unable to fully control the violent spiritual energy in his body. Now the spiritual energy in the spirit stone suddenly poured into his body. Chen Li almost felt like his body was about to explode.
"Get down!" Chen Li gritted his teeth and groaned softly, trying to push the spiritual energy in his body down into his sea of danger.
As soon as he finished speaking, the strange light in his body absorbed all the spiritual energy like a whirlwind.
Although he escaped death, the spiritual energy that was originally abundant in his body suddenly became empty, which made Chen Li very dissatisfied.
It absorbed all the spiritual energy in an instant, not even leaving any for him.
Before he realized it, Chen Li felt a more refined spiritual energy gradually flowing into his sea of qi from the light spot.
For a moment, Chen Li felt his head a little dizzy, his qi sea was gradually expanding, and the spiritual energy from the outside world was being absorbed by him bit by bit.
This is the rhythm of a breakthrough!
Chen Li never thought that he would reach the seventh level of Qi training just after breaking through the sixth level.
He hurriedly sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of spiritual energy in his body.
This breakthrough was very slow. This was a realm Chen Li had never entered before. Now he could only wait patiently.
This wait lasted for more than half a month.
Within half a month, Chen Li hardly went out, and even the servants thought that Chen Li had died or ran away long ago.
One morning, outside Chen Li's house.
boom!
The door was kicked open, and several monks who looked extremely arrogant walked in.
"Sure enough, he is hiding here." An outer disciple laughed after seeing Chen Li.
"He did kill Senior Brother Zhou Chen. Although I don't know what means he used, it was definitely not a legitimate means."
"Oh, ten spirit stones, this kid is really extravagant."
"Although a few pieces have been absorbed, the remaining pieces have not been absorbed yet. Killing him will be a good bargain for us."
"But before I kill him, I have to torture him."
Several outer disciples kept talking there, and it was obvious that they had no intention of letting Chen Li go.
Chen Li frowned. He was now on the verge of a breakthrough and had no way to act on his own. He could only wait until after the breakthrough.
In other words, Chen Li is now in a state of being completely at the mercy of others.
He never thought that someone would disturb him when he was making a breakthrough.
Several outer disciples looked at each other with thick smiles on their faces.
They walked towards Chen Li with their fists rubbed, and the outer disciple who was in the lead kicked Chen Li directly.
Chen Li didn't say a word, and didn't even move.
"Wow, you're quite strong, boy. I'd like to see if your bones are as hard as my fists." An outer disciple saw Chen Li motionless and laughed, then punched Chen Li in the face on the spot.
Chen Li still sat there without any movement. Now was the critical moment, and even if he wanted to move, he couldn't do anything.
When the others saw that Chen Li didn't move, they immediately laughed.
A group of people started punching and kicking Chen Li. Chen Li's body was covered with bruises and there were obvious bruises on his face.
Even so, Chen Li still stood there without any movement.
"Senior Brother Liu, this guy couldn't be dead. There's no movement even after all the fighting." An outer disciple said in confusion when he saw this scene.
"Hehe, he is not dead yet. He is just using his spiritual energy to resist our attacks. But next, he will die." Liu Xiang, who is called Senior Brother Liu, took out a sword and poured spiritual energy into it.
He pointed the sword in his hand directly at Chen Li's heart, with a strong smile on his face, "Chen Li, Chen Li, if you offend Senior Brother Zhao Bin, you will not live today."
The other party raised the sword in his hand and was about to chop it down when a powerful spiritual energy burst out directly from Chen Li's body.
An invisible pressure caused their expressions to change suddenly.
"You are looking for death!" Chen Li suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were red, like a god of death.
All of a sudden, all the outer disciples hurriedly drew out their swords and pointed them at Chen Li.
When Liu Xiang saw Chen Li’s breakthrough, he made up his mind and quickly shouted, “He just broke through, his foundation is unstable, let’s kill him together!”
These outer disciples nodded and immediately attacked Chen Li.
Chen Li frowned and suddenly slapped the first outer disciple who rushed over.
The palm strike, which contained spiritual energy, actually created a big hole in the opponent's stomach.
The other person was lying on the ground dying. He didn't even see how Chen Li moved his hands, and died with hatred in his heart.
As for Chen Li, he was holding the sword of the outer disciple in his hand and scanning the people present with his sharp eyes.
These outer disciples were scared because they had never expected that Chen Li would have such terrifying cultivation levels.
They were merely outer sect disciples at the lower level, with only the fourth level of Qi training cultivation. Chen Li killed a fourth-level Qi training disciple with one move, which was enough to show that his cultivation had returned.
But Liu Xiang didn't care at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Li in front of him, "Don't just stand there, do it now. Do you think he will let us go?"
As soon as these words were spoken, these outer disciples immediately understood that they had just humiliated Chen Li in every way, and no one else would let them go.
The moment they understood, a cold light had quietly passed through their necks.
Several disciples fell down in response, not even knowing that they were dead.
Chen Li shook off the blood on the sword in his hand, turned to look at Liu Xiang, the only one still standing, and said, "You are the next one."
Liu Xiang's heart was beating wildly, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He could no longer hold the sword tightly, let alone fight against Chen Li.
I didn't know what I was thinking, I turned around and ran without any hesitation.
As he watched the thatched hut getting farther and farther away from him, he felt relieved. It seemed that Chen Li had no intention of chasing him.
But a figure flew out of the house like a stream of light and stood directly in front of Liu Xiang.
"Did I let you run away? You all must die." Chen Li's voice was like a devil's voice that reached Liu Xiang's ears.
Liu Xiang gritted his teeth. This was the gap in strength. Even if he planned to escape, it would be useless.
He knew that he had no way to escape, so he knelt on the ground and took out his storage bag: "Brother Chen, I know I was wrong. It was Zhao Bin who asked me to do this. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it and let me go."
Looking at the storage bag in Liu Xiang's hand, Chen Li grinned and took the storage bag directly.
"Since you have accepted my feelings, I will take my leave now." Having said that, Liu Xiang stood up and prepared to leave.
Chen Li laughed and swung his sword to kill Liu Xiang.
Blood continued to spurt out from Liu Xiang's neck. He looked at Chen Li in shock: "You... don't keep your word."
Chen Li played with the storage bag in his hand and glanced at the dead Liu Xiang. "I am a man of my word. If I say I will kill you, I will definitely not let you go."
It’s a pity that Liu Xiang was already dead and couldn’t hear what he said.
Afterwards, Chen Li cleaned up all the bodies, but this scene was seen by a young man in the distance.
But soon, the other party disappeared.
In the outer gate of Nanli Sect, in a training residence, the young man just now appeared in this place.
"Senior Brother Zhao, I am Luo Xiu. The disciples you sent out all died under Chen Li's sword." Luo Xiu shouted respectfully inside.
A man in a white robe walked out of the house with a heavy face. Although the clothes were those of an outer sect disciple, there was a conspicuous badge hanging around his waist.
An exclusive waist badge for outer sect disciples.
Zhao Shu frowned, his expression gloomy, "It seems that Chen Li has recovered his cultivation, but if he dares to kill my brother, I will not let him go so easily."
"Then should we find some more disciples to deal with him?" Luo Xiu asked tentatively.
Zhao Bin waved his hands, as if he had thought of a good idea, "No, I have a better way. This time, I will definitely make him die without a burial place."
