Chapter Thirty-Eight: Parting Ways

  Walking out of the tomb, the sky had gradually brightened, taking a long breath of the cool air in the wild, re-feeling the breath of nature, several people seemed to have returned from hell to the world, all with a sense of lucky survival!

  No one would have thought that they would be facing off against Lv Fengxian, a former peerless powerhouse, in such an unassuming tomb.

  If it weren't for Li Huan and Chu Ping's desperate counterattack, with the help of two powerful artifacts, the four of them might have been defeated on the spot!

  Among the four, Chu Ping obtained Lü Bu's physical body and suppressed his soul within the Yu Tower; Li Han obtained Fang Tianhua's halberd and the corpse of Lin Xiangru; Fei Yu took Lin Xiangru's inner elixir, hoping to refine it into an external avatar in the future; Ku Mu only absorbed some primordial energy from Lin Xiangru's inner elixir, although it was beneficial, but much less than the others.

  Among the four, however, Qi Mu was the most seriously injured, with more than half of his meridians damaged and his Golden Elixir injured. He had gained the least, but his face looked quite unhappy, though he didn't dare to show it, so he just remained silent.

  "In the lower Qingcheng, Li Hao and these two are respectively Jingzhai Dongfang Feiyu Xianzi and Shenmu Men Kumu Daoyou. I don't know how to address you, but today we're lucky to have your help, otherwise the three of us would be hard-pressed to escape with our lives!" Li Hao said with a bow, asking Chu Ping.

  Although it was a thank you, there was a strong suspicious look between his eyebrows!

  It's no wonder, Chu Ping sneaked in secretly, if not for Lü Bu suddenly appearing out of nowhere, who would have known whether he was going to take advantage of the fire and loot the treasures inside the tomb!

  In the authentic mantra of Chu Ping's refinement, there is an inner binding seal that can sense what others are thinking in their hearts. Although it's not as good as Jing Zuo's ability to communicate with spirits and mysteries, it can still sense the kindness or displeasure in other people's hearts. However, I am at a disadvantage after all. Although I was just curious and followed him earlier, who would believe me if I spoke out?

  Li Hanluo's slight hostility dissipated instantly, and he smiled faintly, "I am Chu Ping, a disciple of Master Dou Sheng of the Wuyou Temple. I'm being presumptuous today, please forgive me!"

  Fei Yu smiled brightly and said, "So it's Master Wu Xiang from the Temple of No Appearance. I owe you one today!"

  Chu Ping again made a humble gesture, and the light on his palm flowed and changed. The universe tower suddenly appeared, with true fire burning fiercely inside. The four Ming Wang surrounded Lu Bu's powerful physical body with the Great Sun True Fire, constantly scorching and burning him. In a loud voice, he said, "Today is just a deep night cultivation, coincidentally met Li Han Shixiong, out of curiosity followed up to come, originally there was no evil intention, this Lu Bu physical body is extremely powerful, I also have no intention of taking it, the three Taoist friends are better off withdrawing!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, a subtle movement occurred in the divine thought, and a seam appeared at the bottom of the cosmic tower. A clear light surged forth, enveloping Lü Bu's physical body, which shot out rapidly, stopping just an inch high or low.

  Through the clear light, Lv Bu's gritted teeth could still be seen, but his true yuan was completely gone, and his divine consciousness was invaded, making it difficult for him to make a big move!

  As Lü Bu flew out of the Yu Tower, the four Ming Wang statues inside also dispersed instantly. The Yu Tower transformed into a streak of flowing light and once again sank into Chu Ping's palm.

  "How can this be good? Chu Shidi also obtained it through a bitter struggle, and if not for Shidi's help, our lives would not have been preserved, let alone talk about gains!"

  Li Huan's gaze swept over Lü Bu's physical body, seeing his muscles like white jade carving, his muscles like a dormant dragon, but watching could sense the powerful power contained within, although he was jealous in his heart, after all, Chu Ping had indeed saved several people, and it wasn't good to take him lightly.

  Chu Ping smiled lightly and said, "Today I got to know three Taoist friends, what a great fortune! Lu Bu's physical body is strong, but it has no great use for me. The three of you can take it, as for how to distribute it, I'd rather not say!"

  Chu Ping's words aren't bad either.

  He has now achieved the Golden Elixir Realm, his physical body is solid and strong. Although it's still far from being comparable to Lü Bu's Witch Tribe War Body, he practices the Qitian Gongfa, and the final realm he will achieve is to merge with Heaven and Earth!

  If he were to refine this physical body now and achieve externalization, his combat power would indeed surge greatly, but it wasn't the ultimate goal he was seeking. Moreover, externalization was merely an external object that didn't benefit his own cultivation, and since he had come uninvited, he didn't want to take away this physical body either.

  Although if I hadn't appeared tonight, the three of them would have definitely died, but in the end, I was still impolite first. Although I had suppressed Lü Bu's physical body, I couldn't just take it for myself with a clear conscience. Otherwise, while the three of them were grateful to me, they would ultimately leave behind a shadow in their hearts.

  Fei Yu saw Chu Ping's determination and didn't say much more.

  Li Huan's gaze fluttered, and after glancing at Chu Ping's hands for a few moments, he said with a tinge of reluctance in his heart, "I've already obtained the Fang Tian Hua Halberd. As for Lü Bu's physical body, let Flying Feather Fairy and Dry Wood Daoist decide!"

  Fei Yu chuckled lightly, "This flesh body is good, but after all, it's a male body. I've obtained the inner elixir of the scaled python and refined my external form, although it can't compare to this flesh body, there are still some benefits. It's better for you to take it, Brother Ku Mu!"

  Ku Mu was already annoyed by the meager gains, but upon hearing the three men's words, he felt delighted in his heart. However, he humbly declined a few times, and seeing Fei Yu and Li Han firmly refusing to accept, he gave up and put away this inch-high flesh.

  He practiced the Kongmu Heart Sutra, and his body was severely damaged. Although the secret method was profound, his physical body was extremely fragile. With this powerful physique, he could refine his divine body. After a period of grinding, he would be able to reach the realm of shattered elixir and rebirth. The benefits were immense, beyond description. For a moment, Kongmu felt deeply grateful to the young Chu Ping in front of him.

  After all, if Chu Ping didn't say anything about giving up this flesh body, no one would have anything to say!

  "However, Chu Ping Dao friend, after a hard fight, ended up with nothing! I feel ashamed and guilty in my heart!"

  Chu Ping smiled and said, "It's not a complete loss. When I came out, I took the two stone beasts in front of the door and refined them slightly. They can be used as ornaments!"

  As he spoke, his left hand, which had been hidden in his left sleeve, emerged with two small stone beasts carved from an unknown material. They were ferocious and frightening, crouching and squatting, covered with countless strange symbols, like the patterns on animal skin, vividly lifelike.

  It's the two stone beasts at the entrance of the tomb!

  "This thing isn't very powerful, with Chu Shi's cultivation, what use is this thing?" Li Han asked curiously.

  Chu Ping chuckled and said, "No need to talk about its power, it's just that I saw how exquisite the craftsmanship is, so I took it out to play with!"

  Having said that, he raised his head and looked at the sky, "The day is about to break, I'll leave first. If fate permits, we will meet again!"

  Li Huan and the three others laughed and said, "Indeed indeed! The sky is about to brighten up, we should also leave. We'll meet again!"

  Chu Ping turned his head to look, the ground where the underground tomb was located had sunk by about three feet due to this intense battle, and the surface of over a dozen zhang formed a huge depression.

  "Goodbye!"

  He turned back, straightened up and returned to Tianhai City along the way he came.

  Falling outside Tianhai University, Chuping quietly returned to the room, Yang Tian was still asleep, Chuping lay on the bed in her clothes, but couldn't sleep no matter what.

  Nothing on either side, enter the courtyard, sit on the chaise longue in the attic, and play with those two stone beasts.

  Exquisitely carved stone beasts, originally about four feet high, are now compressed by Chu Ping into a size of two inches, making them even more intricate and lifelike.

  "Wu Men's technique, refining the stone beast, but it's just borrowing the power of the talisman curse to make it have attacking properties. But after all, it's single-minded, only for guarding the tomb, attacking anyone who dares to offend the tomb. If used for defense, it won't work!"

  He carefully examined the stone beast in his hand, and those mysterious symbols and incantations seemed to contain countless secrets, linking together to benefit Chu Ping greatly.

  "If I could peel off Lü Bu's spiritual consciousness and explore the mysteries of the witchcraft..."

  Thinking of this, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

  Previously too busy to attend to it, if the soul is not quickly erased, the consequences are worrying. Detaching from one's consciousness can only be thought about afterwards!
