Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 147: The Powerful Effect of Xu Bai's Death, the Gluttonous Beast's Belly!

Tai Xuan Sect.

In the main hall.

"Headmaster! Haven't you completed that matter over there?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head, his face filled with pain.

"I went over there, searched several mountains, and scanned thousands of miles with my divine sense, but I couldn't find a trace of him."

"I also found the blood-stained robe left behind by my disciple Xu Bai. He was most likely killed."

"Then I used the sect's ancient mirror to trace back in time, but I couldn't see any past events within a hundred miles of where my disciple fell. Everything was just a blank void. This means that the heavenly mechanism has been obscured!"

The leader of the Mu Clan suddenly felt a chill, his hands and feet turning cold. He muttered, "How could this be? The heavenly mechanism has been obscured, and even Xu Bai, who is ranked on the Heavenly Rankings, fell in that place. Who exactly is behind this?"

Suddenly, silence filled the entire hall.

Several months ago.

Within the territory of Tai Xuan Sect, several villages disappeared overnight without a trace.

When this phenomenon was reported to the Shanshi County, the county lord in charge of Shanshi County knew that this was not the work of ordinary people.

There was no sign of any struggle, nor any traces of blood left behind.

The entire village, not a single person or animal was left alive.

He knew that this matter was beyond his ability to handle, so he quickly reported it to Tai Xuan Sect.

At first, the Hall of Elders didn't pay much attention to it and only dispatched it to the outer sect, letting the outer sect disciples handle it.

After a few teams went, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air. They realized that something was wrong.

They immediately canceled the mission and sent the inner sect disciples.

Two inner sect disciples were sent, both of them experts in the Meridian Opening Realm, one at the sixth level and the other at the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

But they also disappeared without a sound, and their life tokens shattered almost simultaneously.

All of this indicated the presence of a great danger in that place.

Those two inner sect disciples must have fallen there.

This matter instantly alarmed the elders and leaders of various sects, even Lu Qingshan was alarmed.

In order to prevent any further accidents, four elders were dispatched.

When the four elders arrived there, they searched several mountains and stayed for three days, but they didn't find a single clue. They had no choice but to return to the sect.

Originally, everyone thought that the culprit had left and the matter would end there.

However, a week after the four elders returned to the sect, news came from that place again, and several villages' residents had disappeared overnight.

They instantly knew that this matter had become serious.

When the four elders went, nothing happened, but once they returned, the situation repeated itself.

This indicated that the culprit was either a demonic cultivator or a member of the demonic race.

Demonic cultivators loved to refine souls, while the demonic race loved to feast on human blood.

What's more important is that the culprit must have a treasure that can conceal their presence and aura, so even though the four elders searched every inch of the land, they couldn't find the culprit.

Afterwards, after discussions among the elders, Xu Bai was sent to resolve this matter.

Because Xu Bai had already reached the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

He had also comprehended two types of rule power, and his combat power was extremely terrifying, not weaker than most ordinary eighth level Spirit Sea Realm experts.

He also carried a teleportation talisman.

Based on previous speculations, the culprit behind this series of events feared the four elders of the Divine Bridge Realm, indicating that their strength was equivalent to the Spirit Sea Realm.

Xu Bai, who appeared weak but was actually strong, was the perfect bait.

However, under the tense atmosphere, the final news they received was that Xu Bai's life token had shattered.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Qingshan was instantly filled with rage, his eyes bloodshot.

Xu Bai has been his disciple for over twenty years. He has a calm temperament, treats people kindly, and has deeply won his heart.

He had even prepared in advance. When Xu Bai reached the sixth or seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm, he would step down as the elder and pass on the position of sect leader to Xu Bai.

Now, seeing Xu Bai's shattered nameplate, it indicates that he has already perished.

How could he not be angry?

Without discussing with others, he went alone to the place where Xu Bai's nameplate was shattered.

When he arrived there, he saw Xu Bai's clothes stained with blood and the ruined battlefield.

All of this indicates that Xu Bai had found the culprit at that time, but failed to defeat them in battle and ultimately died.

Moreover, the teleportation talisman did not save his life.

Lu Qingshan began to dig deep into the ground, scanning thousands of miles repeatedly with his divine sense.

But even so, he still did not detect any trace of abnormality.

He knew that he couldn't take revenge on his own.

That unknown existence had a strong hiding ability, far beyond his reach.

And it's possible that the unknown existence had already discovered his arrival, so no matter what means he used, he couldn't find the figure of that unknown existence.

At this moment, the main hall fell into a long silence.

This matter has become somewhat unsolvable.

When someone at the Divine Bridge Realm goes there, nothing unusual happens.

But even if Xu Bai went there, he wouldn't be a match for the unknown existence.

After a long time, Nie Xuan said, "If Jiang Yuan goes, can he solve this matter?"

The four elders shook their heads, "Difficult! You all know Xu Bai's strength. He has mastered two types of rule power and can fight against the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm. But you also know the result!"

Lu Qingshan slowly spoke, "I will go find him! Ask for his opinion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared from this place.

"Ah!" an old man sighed, "Xu Bai's death has had a big impact on Lu nephew!"

This person is the second elder of the Tai Xuan Sect, with profound cultivation.

Mu Shouzuo also nodded, "Xu Bai followed him for over twenty years, they were said to be master and disciple, but in fact, they were like father and son. Their feelings were so deep that it will take some time for them to accept it."

"Yes!" the second elder slowly spoke, "The bond between master and disciple is even deeper than that of father and son. I hope Lu nephew can soon overcome the pain of Xu Bai's demise."

Nie Xuan also said, "If we can avenge Xu Bai, I believe it will make things better!"

Mu Shouzuo said, "In the current situation, only Jiang Yuan has a slight possibility of avenging Xu Bai!"

"When someone at the Divine Bridge Realm goes there, the unknown existence will hide, and we won't be able to detect anything."

"Only when someone at the Spirit Sea Realm goes there will they appear!"

"Yes!" Nie Xuan also nodded.

Jiang Yuan's residence.

Lu Qingshan arrived at this place and sensed Jiang Yuan's cultivation aura.

He thought for a moment, but instead of going in, he came to the front gate.

He knocked on the door a few times.

Shu Xiaoxiao, who was in cultivation, heard the knocking and immediately came to open the door.

"Greetings, senior!" Shu Xiaoxiao said.

Then she added, "My young master is currently cultivating!"

"I know!" Lu Qingshan nodded, "But I have something important to discuss with him."

At this time, Jiang Yuan also sensed something unusual in the front yard.

He stopped his cultivation and said, "Sect leader, please come in and talk!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan also appeared in the front yard.

"I apologize for disturbing your cultivation!" Lu Qingshan said with a hint of apology.

He paused for a moment and continued, "But there is something I need your help with!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Sit down and take your time to explain!"

When the two of them sat in the pavilion, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly poured tea for them.

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Yuan said, "Master, speak frankly. If there is anything I can help with, I will not hesitate!"

"Good!" Lu Qingshan finally showed a faint smile on his face.

After drinking two sips of tea, he organized his words.

Then he said, "Xu Bai has fallen!"

"What!" Jiang Yuan was shocked and looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.

Lu Qingshan said with some pain, "I still don't know who killed him!"

"What happened?" Jiang Yuan asked quickly.

"Take a look at this first! This is a dossier submitted by the Hall of Elders more than ten days ago." He handed a dossier to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan took it and scanned through it.

His eyes suddenly narrowed.

After a moment, he let out a breath.

"Master, what happened next?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Lu Qingshan said, "After two Meridian Opening Realm disciples lost their lives, I sent the four elders to investigate, but they found nothing! We thought the matter was over, and the unknown presence had fled. We could only accept our misfortune!"

"But who knew that after the four elders returned, there was news of many villagers from several villages disappearing overnight."

"So considering that the four elders of the Divine Bridge Realm were afraid to come out, I sent Xu Bai. Although Xu Bai was only at the Spirit Sea Realm Fifth Stage, he comprehended two types of rule power, and his actual combat power was comparable to that of the Spirit Sea Realm Eighth Stage!"

"But even Xu Bai, he still fell there. A few days ago, I went to the place where Xu Bai fell. There were obvious signs of a great battle, indicating that the opponent's strength did not overwhelm Xu Bai. However, in this situation, Xu Bai had the ability to teleport, but he did not escape. Later, I searched every inch of the ground and found no trace!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's words, Jiang Yuan immediately understood.

The strength of the unknown presence should be below the Divine Bridge Realm, around the Spirit Sea Realm Ninth Stage.

It possessed a treasure that could conceal its aura and detect the arrival of the Divine Bridge Realm in advance, while also suppressing space and rendering the teleportation ability ineffective.

Looking at it this way, it was indeed troublesome.

When a powerful person went, it hid; when a weaker person went, it killed them.

No wonder Lu Qingshan came to find him. With his current cultivation level, he would definitely come out.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "Master, I will take on this task, but I need another 15 days."

"Are you planning to break through another realm in these fifteen days?" Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan.

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded, his eyes shining.

"In that case, these things are for you!" He waved his hand, and three bottles of Fusion Spirit Pills appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

Then he said, "Originally, these three pills were prepared for Xu Bai, but now he won't have a chance to use them!"

Jiang Yuan took them and said, "Master, rest assured, if that thing is still there after half a month, I will definitely avenge Senior Brother Xu Bai!"

With these three bottles of Fusion Spirit Pills, Jiang Yuan had more confidence in breaking through in the next half month.

Originally, relying on the Spirit Gathering Array, he estimated that it would take another month to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm Sixth Stage.

Now, in order to break through in half a month, he would rely on the recently acquired Innate Luck and the gluttony of the Tushan Beast.

Absorbing and refining spiritual energy outside, and consuming and absorbing pill and spirit stones internally.

With this dual approach, the speed of accumulating Spirit Sea power would be much faster.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Good! You go and cultivate now, I will protect you here."

Jiang Yuan nodded. He could tell that Lu Qingshan was anxious. Xu Bai, his personal disciple, had died suddenly, and he definitely wanted to avenge him immediately.

Jiang Yuan also felt anger in his heart regarding Xu Bai's death.

Xu Bai could provide him with the power of Luck, and he had a good impression of him. He was a very pure person, and Jiang Yuan also wanted to avenge Xu Bai now.

But in life, there are no second chances.

He is currently only at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, the same cultivation level as Xu Bai at that time.

Xu Bai fell outside, although he believed that he was much stronger than Xu Bai, unexpected things can happen.

To be safe, he is still preparing to break through to the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm before setting off.

Now, with each breakthrough in a small realm, his spiritual power will increase several times.

As long as he breaks through to the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm and does not encounter a powerful cultivator in the Divine Bridge Realm, he is confident in preserving his life. This is also the reason why he agreed to Lu Qingshan.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan returned to the small courtyard.

Instantly activating the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Then he opened a bottle of Melted Spirit Pill and swallowed the entire bottle into his abdomen.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan, who was about to speak, slowly put his hand down.

Jiang Yuan will definitely not act without reason. He must have his own rationale for doing so.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan fell silent and quietly waited for Jiang Yuan's successful breakthrough.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt a warm sensation spreading in his body, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The power of the Gluttonous Belly is truly formidable. He can feel the Melted Spirit Pill being digested by him, transforming into pure spiritual power and merging into his Spirit Sea.

No need for any guidance from him.

Previously, in order to not waste the effects of the Melted Spirit Pill, he tried to absorb and refine its medicinal power as much as possible, holding it in his mouth and slowly refining it.

It took him a whole day to refine one Melted Spirit Pill.

Even though his cultivation has progressed now and his refining speed will be much faster, he estimates that it will still take at least 12 hours to refine the Melted Spirit Pill.

Moreover, during this process, a lot of the medicinal power will dissipate and cannot be fully absorbed and refined.

For an ordinary person, being able to absorb fifty percent of the medicinal power when refining a pill is already considered good.

And he was able to absorb over ninety percent before, which was already a huge advantage.

But now, under the effect of his Gluttonous Belly, not a single trace of the Melted Spirit Pill is wasted.

The most crucial thing is that the slight toxicity contained in the pill is also completely digested by him.

After personally experiencing this effect, he finally understood why the Gluttonous Belly had the qualifications to become a purple-level Innate Luck.

Its effect is indeed powerful.

Afterwards, he began to converge his mind, closed his eyes, and crazily absorbed and refined the spiritual energy in the air, using both methods simultaneously.

The growth rate of his Spirit Sea inside his body was more than twice as fast as usual.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

He had already finished digesting the three bottles of Melted Spirit Pill.

Then Jiang Yuan crushed a high-quality spirit stone and swallowed it into his abdomen.

Lu Qingshan, who saw this scene in the front yard, was extremely surprised even with his cultivation and temperament.

Directly eating a spirit stone, and a high-quality one at that, was something he had never seen before in his life.

A high-quality spirit stone contains about ten thousand times the spiritual energy of a low-quality spirit stone.

He actually dared to swallow it directly into his abdomen, which indicated that he could rely on his powerful stomach to absorb and refine it.

But thinking about Jiang Yuan's speed of breakthrough, he felt that this was normal.

After swallowing this high-quality spirit stone, Jiang Yuan began to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.

Every day, he would interrupt his cultivation and swallow a high-quality spirit stone.

Towards the end, Lu Qingshan had already become accustomed to it.

Jiang Yuan's cultivation breakthrough was so fast, naturally, he had something far beyond ordinary people.

Otherwise, how could he achieve such an unimaginable speed of cultivation?

As the days went by, Jiang Yuan's Spirit Sea gradually became full.

The power of Luck was also slowly accumulating at a rate of twenty strands per day.
