Chapter 48 Another Brother!

  The true energy circulated in the body for a week, checking the meridians and bones of the lower body. Apart from becoming stronger and more resilient, and being perfectly integrated, Qin Yi discovered that the Huang Quan Dan in his heart had shrunk to only one quarter of its original size.

  Once Huang Quan's Dan is fully transformed into rolling medicinal power and absorbed by oneself, the speed of one's own cultivation will decrease significantly.

  However, even if he couldn't find a substitute, Qin Yi possessed the Black Python's Cosmic Energy and the Eight Extremes Great Method in his body, and his cultivation speed was enough to make other cultivators speechless.

  After withdrawing the true energy in his body back into his dantian, making his strength seem not much different from before, Qin Yi looked towards Xuan Yuan Ze.

  Time has passed for so long, and the efficacy of the antidote has also spread throughout Xuan Yuan Ze's body.

  Although the antidote is only a low-grade human pill, it has an extraordinary effect against all poisons in the world. Even the poisonous gas sprayed by the Fish King with his own life source can be restrained by the antidote.

  Xuanyuan Ze's face had now returned to normal, his breathing was calm and steady, his entire body was enveloped in a layer of true energy, and it seemed that he would wake up soon.

  Qin Yi sat cross-legged beside him, waiting for a moment. Xuan Yuan Ze's eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes opened.

  Seeing Qin Yi sitting next to him, Xuan Yuan Ze was stunned for a moment, then looking at the fishman leader in the distance who only had half of his body left, the fragmented scenes from the previous battle pieced together into a complete image in his mind.

  "I was poisoned and was about to be killed by the Fish King, luckily Qin Yi brother suddenly intervened..." Xuan Yuan Ze came back to his senses, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Qin Yi, filled with surprise. "Qin Yi brother, did you kill the Fish King?"

  "It was just luck." Qin Yi waved his hand, "At that time, it was a critical moment, but fortunately, the fish tribe leader had already been seriously injured by Shifu at that time, and I took advantage of the opportunity. How are you feeling now, Shifu?"

  Xuanyuan Ze closed his eyes, and the true energy ran through his body for a week, then he understood that Qin Yi not only saved himself at that time but also gave him an antidote pill, otherwise, he would have been a cold corpse by now!

  With a heart full of gratitude, Xuan Yuan Ze opened his eyes and looked at Qin Yi, bowing deeply.

  "Big brother, what are you doing?!" Qin Yi asked in surprise.

  "If it weren't for your help, Qin Yi brothers, I might have lost my life today. You saved my life, and I, Xuan Yuan Ze, owe you one. I may be arrogant and proud in my daily life, but I understand what's right and wrong. At that time, you could have just ignored me, killed the Fish King, and gone back to the Academy to collect your reward. But you didn't do that. That kind of character is what makes me admire you."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Yuan Ze made a bow with his hands and was about to kowtow again.

  A surge of true energy was released from Qin Yi's body, and Xuan Yuan Ze's arched body was like being held by an invisible hand, unable to bend down further. A look of astonishment flashed in Xuan Yuan Ze's eyes.

  Killing someone with true energy might not be difficult, but using it to replace one's hands in doing delicate things is extremely hard. At this moment, Qin Yi's exquisite skills made Xuan Yuan Ze look at him with even more admiration.

  Qin Yi used his true energy to hold up Xuan Yuan Ze, with a serious expression, saying: "Senior brother, we have been strangers for a long time, but you are open and honest, showing a broad-minded and dignified demeanor, which makes me admire you. When others respect me one foot, I respect them ten feet, senior brother was in danger at that time, I absolutely did not ignore it."

  What Qin Yi said at this moment was all from the bottom of his heart. Xuan Yuan Ze took the initiative to offer protection to someone he met for the first time, which shows that he is absolutely not a narrow-minded and evil person.

  Such a person, Qin Yi admired from the bottom of his heart. Compared to Chen Haofeng and Lei Tian, who only knew how to bully the weak and were vicious, even harming their own sect members, he was noble beyond measure!

  Hearing Qin Yi say this, Xuan Yuan Ze's expression turned serious: "Since that's the case, Brother Qin Yi, your personality is also very suitable for our group. If you're willing, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

  "Huh?" Qin Yi was taken aback at first, then immediately showed a delighted expression, "That's really great!"

  Xuanyuan Ze is someone that Qin Yi had intentionally tried to befriend, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative and even become sworn brothers!

  Two people kneel down on the ground, facing the bright moon in the sky, inserting incense and making a vow.

  "My name is Qin Yi."

  "I am Xuan Yuan Ze."

  "From this day forward, we are brothers. We will share the same honor and the same shame. Our hearts will be as one, and we will look out for each other like liver and gallbladder. When fortune smiles upon us, we will enjoy it together; when misfortune strikes, we will face it together. If either of us breaks this oath, he will suffer the punishment of being struck by five thunderbolts, his soul destroyed, and forever unable to turn over a new leaf!" The two men spoke in unison, then bowed three times towards the heavens.

  After getting up, Xuan Yuan Ze's face was full of smiles: "Great, this time I came to Misty Bay, the greatest gain is that I got to know Brother Qin Yi."

  Qin Yi nodded and said: "It's also my honor to get to know Xuan Yuan big brother."

  "The Fishman leader has been dead for so long, and this guy robbed merchant ships, killed people and stole treasures, I don't know how much wealth he accumulated. Let's take a look, after using so much effort and risking our lives to kill him, we can't let others get it cheaply." Xuan Yuan Ze led Qin Yi towards the Fishman leader's corpse.

  Looking at the deep pit in front of him, Xuan Yuan Ze was secretly shocked. He could imagine how perilous Qin Yi's battle with the Fish King must have been.

  As for the strength of this newly sworn brother, Xuan Yuan Ze suddenly felt that it was unfathomable. People who could kill those in the Jieyun realm with a single blow in the Jidian realm were not unheard of in history. Those people all became figures revered by millions, transcendent and saintly strongmen who grasped the power over the life and death of tens of millions.

  "Qin Yi brothers have amazing potential, our Huang Long Island has such a talented person, I couldn't think of anyone for the time being, in the future he will definitely become a great talent." Xuan Yuan Ze thought to himself as he glanced at Qin Yi.

  The upper body of the fish man leader was completely mashed into a pulp, scattered all over the place. At this moment, only its lower body remained in the deep pit.

  Xuanyuan Ze grasped at the air and pulled up the corpse of the Fish People's leader with a shockwave of true energy.

  The corpse of the fish man leader was mangled and bloody, his lower body **, no longer had any value.

  After a glance, Xuan Yuan Ze threw the corpse of the Fishman leader at his feet.

  "Qin Yi brothers, I have something to discuss with you." Xuan Yuan Ze's expression looked somewhat embarrassed.

  Observing his expression, Qin Yi vaguely guessed and said, "Brother, it's nothing."

  "...the corpse of this fish-man leader..."

  "Big brother, you and I are now brothers. If you urgently need the Fishman Island's leader's corpse, go back to receive the reward from Dragon's Den, that's it." Qin Yi understood Xuan Yuan Ze's difficulties.

  After all, the Fishman Island's leader was killed by Qin Yi, and Qin Yi also saved his life. Now, if there wasn't any special difficulty, it would be absolutely impossible for him to mention taking away the Fishman Island's leader's corpse.

  Xuanyuan Ze's eyes suddenly flashed with a grateful expression: "Brother, I won't hide it from you either. I'm currently at the sixth level of the Jifu Realm and want to break through to the Yanhun Great Realm within a year. By then, in two years' time, at the Xian Dao Conference, I can get a good ranking. The reward for killing the Fishman leader in this imperial dragon island's bounty mission is of great help to my cultivation, so that's why I came to the Misty Sea Bay."

  "Hmm, that's no problem, Big Brother will get promoted and I'll be happy too. But Big Brother, what was that 'Xian Dao Conference' you just mentioned?" Qin Yi asked in confusion.

  "Don't you know?" Xuan Yuan Ze was even more surprised.

  "I've just entered Tian Sheng College for a short time, so many things are not very clear." Qin Yi replied honestly.

  "The Fairy Road Congress, generally held once every five years, is jointly organized by the ten major academies on the Wind Continent. The purpose of this event is twofold: one aspect is for the various academy factions to exchange and learn from each other, while another aspect is actually a competition for ranking." Xuan Yuan Ze explained patiently.

  "So it was like that." Qin Yi nodded.

  "The treasure of the Fishman leader should all be hidden on this island. Brother, I'll let you take the credit, and I won't let you lose out - later, all the Fishman leader's treasure will belong to you." Xuan Yuan Ze was worried that Qin Yi wouldn't accept, and said resolutely: "If you don't agree, then I'd rather not have the Fishman leader's corpse!"

  Xuan Yuan Ze's attitude was firm and resolute, Qin Yi nodded in agreement.

  Xuanyuan Ze took out a small wooden box from his bosom, about half the size of a palm. After opening it, celestial music played, and purple musical notes floated out, wrapping around the corpse of the Fishman leader like a dream. The purple aura flashed, and the corpse disappeared instantly. The purple musical notes also transformed into a ray of light and were absorbed back into the wooden box.

  Qin Yi saw this scene and understood that the wooden box was like the storage ring, with a space inside that could be used to store items.

  This treasure that can store objects is worth a city for any single item. Xuan Yuan Ze being able to possess it further explains his extraordinary status.

  Qin Yi and he became sworn brothers, from a long-term perspective, absolutely earned!

  "Xī and Jiàn!" Xuányuán Zé shouted, his long sword standing upright, humming with dragon chants, true energy surging, momentum like a mountain range, like the vast ocean, thick and heavy.

  "Overlord Slash!"

  The true energy soared into the sky, under the moonlight, it condensed into a giant sword over ten zhang high, standing proudly in mid-air, its aura majestic, facing the island, and slashing down with a loud crash.

  Bang!

  The island burst open, amidst a deafening roar, as boulder-sized rocks were constantly overturned, the True Energy sword sliced through, like cutting tofu, and split the island in two.

  With a loud crash, the island burst open like a split belly, revealing a fissure dozens of feet long.

  Five-colored light and thick fragrance of medicine gushed out from the crack in unison.

  Qin Yi and Xuan Yuan Ze exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

  Xuanyuan Zexing continuously unleashed over a dozen swords, his true energy giant sword slicing through the air with a whooshing sound, stripping away the surface rocks of the island, exposing its interior entirely. For a moment, the entire sea surface was radiating a brilliant glow that shot straight up into the clouds, as if it were an immortal realm!

  Qin Yi and Xuan Yuan Ze only felt their hearts racing, and they didn't dare believe the scene in front of them.

  It was expected that the Fishman Island's ruler would have a vast amount of treasure, but neither of them thought that the other's treasure would be this abundant!

  Inside the island, it had long been hollowed out by the Fish King's leader and was filled with countless gold and silver treasures, rare antiques, and billions of Qi-gathering pills, forming a mountain of cultivation treasures.

  Among the treasures piled up like a mountain, there was an empty space, and on that empty space stood a jade-carved stone pedestal.

  On the stone pedestal, a palm-sized oil lamp was emitting a dark red glow that throbbed incessantly, releasing a spiritual aura that spread out and filled the air. For a moment, it actually suppressed all the light within the entire island!
