Chapter 89: Li Yuan's Shooting Star

  Yun Feng heard Hu Gao's words and immediately became anxious. As a warrior who had experienced the power of a full-body cultivator, he knew that even with his current strength, it would be extremely difficult to defeat a low-level full-body cultivator head-on. This was not something that could be made up for by any technique, but rather depended on the difference in their cultivation levels.

  "Hu Gao, it's very dangerous for you to stay in Flame Valley. As a Nine-Stage Peak Martial Artist of the Condensed Shadow Realm, you can handle even a One-Stage Whole Body Realm martial artist, but later on, those who will try to snatch the Space Ring from your hands won't just be one or two One-Stage Whole Body Realm martial artists. Even in your prime, it would be difficult for you to cope with them, let alone now when you're severely injured?"

  "You don't need to say more, I know you're thinking of me, but I know my own situation." Hu Gao waved his hand, not wanting to drag on the topic, "Today we won a lot of treasure, and I'll give half of it to you. Do you want to pick out some things you need?"

  "Hu Ge brothers, you..."

  "I understand, with your current cultivation level, these treasures won't be of much help to you. In that case, I'll just take half for now. Hmm, you should still be entering the Fire Beast Forest, right? I'll give you the other half then."

  Hu Gao interrupted Yun Feng's words and said directly: "Right, three days later when entering the Fire Beast Forest, are you planning to go in alone or with me?"

  "Hu Gao..."

  "Do you want to go in alone? Alright, at that time I'll divide the treasure with you half and half, then we can part ways."

  “……”

  Yun Feng sighed helplessly and knew he couldn't persuade Hu Gao, so he shook his head and said: "Three days later, I'll follow you into the Fire Beast Forest."

  "Alright, since it's like that, let's meet outside the Fire Beast Forest in three days. I'll find you then."

  Hu nodded and patted Yunfeng's shoulder, then turned to leave directly.

  At this time, Han Chong, who had been silent for a long time, hesitated and said: "That, three days later, can I follow you into the Fire Beast Forest?"

  "Brother, absolutely must not be impulsive."

  Han Ning was shocked and wanted to stop Han Chong. Now that Hu Gao had the Space Ring, he would definitely be targeted by many experts. If Han Chong followed him into the Fire Beast Forest, he would also face the same danger, which was completely unnecessary.

  "My mind is made up, no need to say more." Han Chong waved his hand and looked straight at Hu Gao.

  Hu Gao gazed at Han for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "You really are clever, you didn't continue speaking just now, truly intelligent."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't stay anymore and turned around to leave.

  Watching Hu Gao's receding back, Han Chong's mouth twitched, his right hand tightly grasping the long gun, really wanting to rush up and stab him through the heart, this bastard.

  But soon, he remembered that Hu Gao had the Wind and Thunder Pearl, and with his life on the line, he fought to the very end, a smile rising up at the corner of his mouth.

  Everyone comes here to find the Black Fire Lotus, but in the end, they lose all their treasures because of it. Greed is truly a pitfall that must be avoided. Although Hu Gao used various methods to win the treasures from these people, he himself was not greedy. If only his strength were not so weak, he would have been the biggest winner on this trip to Flame Valley." The old man with the pipe watched as Hu Gao walked away, shaking his head and sighing with a hint of regret.

  It feels great to be young!

  "Wow, boss, so many treasures! Our cultivation can be greatly improved!"

  Two hours later, Hu Gao found a cave nearby where he could hide and practice, sat down cross-legged, and placed all the treasures in the space ring on the ground. Xiao Wu was excitedly rummaging through them beside him, searching for treasures that were useful to himself.

  "Has your cultivation improved a lot? Indeed, it's time for an upgrade."

  Hu Gao looked at the treasure scattered all over the ground and nodded with a smile.

  His current cultivation has broken through to the seventh stage of the Condensing Shadow Realm, but for him, as long as he has enough resources, he can continue to increase his strength.

  At least in the realm of condensed shadows, there are sufficient resources, and he can even cultivate to the peak of the ninth stage of the condensed shadow realm in one breath.

  Now with so many treasures, even if they were all exchanged for cultivation resources, it would be more than enough.

  Even so, these treasures at present can still allow his cultivation to rise greatly.

  "Jade Essence Pill, Spiritual Transformation Liquid, 100-year-old White Lingzhi, Crown Overturning Wine..."

  Hú Gāo looked at the treasures cleaned up by Xiǎo Wǔ, his expression gradually becoming excited, "With these treasures, I can break through to the 8th rank of Condensation without any problem, and I can even try to see if I can directly raise my cultivation to the peak of the 9th rank."

  "Boss, there are still quite a few treasures here that can help me. If I use them all up, even if I don't break through to the peak of a first-class demon beast, it's absolutely not far off. Later on, if we're careful and launch a sneak attack, who knows, maybe we can take down a first-class martial artist."

  Xiao Wu arranged all the treasures that would be helpful to himself on one side, then hummed and said: "The boss can have a spatial ring, that's what the boss won by his own ability, why should they come and rob? Hmph, wanting to rob the boss's treasure, Xiao Wu will make them look good. What is the environment of Tongti, thirty years on the east bank and thirty years on the west bank, I, Xiao Wu, am a divine beast, it won't take long before I can beat them until they don't even recognize their own wives."

  "Are you a martial artist of the first rank?"

  Hu Gao murmured softly, a hint of a smile on his lips. He had never feared those so-called top-notch warriors. Just over half a month ago, he had just arrived in this world as an ordinary person. But now, not only had his cultivation reached the peak of the Seventh Stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm, but his combat strength was also unmatched in the realm. As long as he was given a little time, a little opportunity...

  The whole situation is the same, and can be trampled to death mercilessly.

  "Xiao Wu, hurry up and cultivate, we have three days, try to use all the treasures that are useful to us, for now, our strength increase is the most important thing."

  Hu Gao didn't plan on wasting any more time and directly picked up a Yuan Restoration Pill, swallowing it down.

  Now he not only wants to improve his cultivation, but also hopes to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. He doesn't worry about this, as he can feel the jade pendant constantly flowing with a gentle stream of energy into his body, alleviating his injuries.

  Hu Gao began his cultivation, and Xiao Wu didn't disturb him either. He also picked up some useful treasures to cultivate with.

  For a time, Hu Gao and Xiao Wu were both immersed in their cultivation.

  ……

  In just one day, Hu Gao had converted nearly a third of the treasure into yuan force cultivation, and with the dragon energy provided by Xiao Wu, he had reached the ninth level of the Condensed Shadow Realm in both his yuan force and physical body, and his injuries had long since fully recovered.

  The reason why only one-third of the treasure was used is that Xiao Wu had already used up all the treasures and could no longer use them to provide dragon energy for him. Hu Gao did not want Xiao Wu to use his own body's dragon energy to temper his flesh, which would be too costly for the latter and detrimental to his strength growth.

  Moreover, he broke through two major boundaries, and his body suddenly produced so much energy that it was already becoming increasingly difficult to perfectly control. If his cultivation were to be further increased, it would be counterproductive.

  "If only my spiritual power could grow rapidly, it would be easy to perfectly control yuan force and physical strength later on."

  Hu Gao finished his cultivation and shook his head helplessly.

  Controlling energy is using the divine soul, but he has never specifically cultivated his divine soul. If it weren't for him being a transmigrator, combining the power of two people's divine souls, he probably wouldn't even be able to control the current intensity of energy.

  He now urgently wants to find a primordial trick about cultivating the divine soul, which would be of great help to him. If he could have a divine soul like that guy in the jade pendant, it would be even better!

  "Xiao Wu had swallowed all the treasures into his body, now he was asleep. When he woke up later, it was unknown whether his combat power could really threaten a cultivator of the Tongti realm's first stage."

  Hú Gāo hesitated for a moment, Little Five had absorbed many more treasures today than he had, and it would likely take another day or two to finish his cultivation.

  "Xiao Wu hasn't finished his cultivation, and I don't need to go out to find the Black Fire Lotus by myself. We can just wait until he finishes his cultivation before going out. Anyway, there are still two days before we enter the Huo Beast Forest, so hopefully Xiao Wu will wake up within these two days."

  Hú Gāo stood up and began to practice the primordial trick he had created in the cave.

  There is only one ultimate move of swordsmanship.

  He named this set of techniques "Li Yuan Liu Xing", which means simple but contains infinite mysteries.

  "Whoosh!"

  Hu Gao suddenly thrust his sword forward, the sword light flashing like starlight, piercing through the void, and a mysterious power emanated from it.

  "Crack!"

  In front of him, a crack appeared on the rock wall three meters away from the tip of his sword. At this moment, if he were to strike it twice, it would definitely turn into a pile of powder and fall down.

  "【Lì Yuán Liú Xīng】Not yet fully perfected, currently only has one move, but relying solely on this one move, it's absolutely a top-grade human-tier mystic technique, and it's even a transformative boundary human-tier mystic technique." Hu Gao's eyes flashed with sharp light.

  "Hmm... "

  He didn't get too carried away with this point and continued to cultivate, his current goal is to familiarize himself with the extra energy in his body, in order to reach a perfect control level.

  This cultivation lasted for a whole day before it finally stopped.

  "When I was still at the Seventh Stage of the Acme, I was absolutely top-notch in the Realm of Condensed Shadows. Now... if I were to fight Han Chong again, within ten moves, I would be able to defeat him."

  Hu Gao put away the Shadowless Sword, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "As for a martial artist in the Unity Realm, one can only know by actually fighting them. However, I believe that even an ordinary first-stage Unity Realm martial artist, I should be able to defeat..."
