  "That's natural, even if Lin didn't say it, I would have taken care of it anyway." Chu Lianfeng verified the dan and nodded slightly: "Since the transaction is complete, I won't see you off far."

  Lin Zhantian did not intend to leave immediately, but instead sank into thought and said with a hint of curiosity: "Chu Shidi, with your insight, you should be aware that this 'Crazy Yuan Dan' has the effect of helping people break through their cultivation bottleneck, but it only increases the chances by 20%. Unless one has already cultivated to the peak of the fifth heaven, the possibility of successfully breaking through the boundary by relying on taking this elixir is extremely slim..."

  "Lin Shixiong is right, even if it's a fifth-order Tianyun peak cultivator who takes this pill to break through, the chances of success will at most increase to 50%, but that's already sufficient, isn't it?"

  When he heard the words, Lin Zhan Tian's body trembled slightly, as if he had understood something. His eyes showed a few hints of envy: "I didn't expect that Chu Shi Di has already achieved the fifth heavy sky peak cultivation of the human stage. It seems that Lin Mou has misjudged."

  At this point, Lin Zhan Tian paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind and said: "The time of the grand competition within the sect is approaching, I still need some time to refine my magic treasures, so I won't disturb you... Besides, I'll say one more thing, among the three generations of disciples, apart from He Changfeng, there are two others who possess the strength of six layers of heaven, and they will become a strong opponent for Chu Shidi at that time."

  "Lin Shixiong, farewell. Based on what you said today, before the final assessment of the sect's grand competition, Chu Mou will definitely avoid being in the same group as you."

  Chu Linfeng naturally understood the words of Lin Zhantian, who was willing to admit defeat. From Lin Zhantian's existence as a superior among his peers in the third generation, Chu Linfeng did not detect any arrogance or disdain. Instead, he felt a hint of goodwill towards him. As the saying goes, "If someone respects me for one part, I will return it with ten parts." Thus, Chu Linfeng made a promise that was still within his own capabilities.

  Lin Zhantian cast a grateful glance at Chu Lianfeng, and without saying another word, he mounted his sword and left. The time for the Great Competition within the sect was approaching, and although he had obtained the treasure he needed, it would be difficult to bring out its full power without refining it through sacrifice. The triennial Great Competition within the sect was crucial to his future development in the Xuan Yuan Sect, so every minute counted.

  "Among the three generations of disciples, apart from He Changfeng, there are two others who have cultivated to the strength of the Sixth Heaven of the Human Realm..."

  Inside the small wooden house, Chulinfeng held the "Kuangyuan Dan" in his hand, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he was deep in thought about something.

  He Changfeng, the grandson of He Yuntou, an elder of the Xuan Yuan Sect, possesses a rare wind and thunder dual attribute spiritual body. A year and a half ago, he cultivated to the sixth heaven of the Human Stage, and was also accepted as a direct disciple by Tongxuan Zhenren, the sect leader. He is considered the best candidate to succeed as the next sect leader of the Xuan Yuan Sect.

  Two years ago, when Chu Linfeng broke through to the fifth layer of the Human Realm and became a direct disciple of Tongxuan True Man, He Changfeng, who was three years older than him, also broke through to the fifth layer of the Human Realm. If only their strength is considered, he might even be stronger than Chu Linfeng at that time. However, Chu Linfeng possessed a rare Xuan Yang Spiritual Body found in one out of a million people, which gave him an edge over He Changfeng and earned him this honor.

  After Chu Linfeng's fall from power and complete silence, He Changfeng became the first person among the three generations of Xuan Yuan Sect without any suspense. It can be said that all the favors Chu Linfeng received in the sect were transferred to him after this.

  As for this, Chu Linfeng didn't have any complaints and wouldn't harbor any resentment towards He Changfeng. After all, when he was at his lowest point, He Changfeng hadn't done anything to kick him while he was down. This was already enough; in Chu Linfeng's heart, there had always been a clear account of gratitude and grievances.

  At present, Chu Linfeng's concern is only how to win the first place in the intra-religious competition, not just to prove that he is the best among the three generations of disciples, but also to get the precious reward of the intra-religious competition, an opportunity to enter the Xuan Yuan Sect's Cang Jing Pavilion.

  Logically, after taking Zhao Lie as his master, a mid-tier sect like Xuan Yuan Sect would no longer be of great help to Chu Linfeng's future growth. However, after cultivating the Xuanyang Instrument Spirit Technique and vowing to become an exceptional instrument refiner, Chu Linfeng would never give up on this opportunity to enter the sect's Scripture Pavilion.

  Because the ancestor of Xuan Yuan Sect was a great master of alchemy, the treasure house has his life-long experience in alchemy. For others, it's useless, but for Chu Linfeng, it's an invaluable treasure that can't be missed.

  "I thought that with the cultivation of the fifth heaven's peak, combined with a few ordinary treasure artifacts, I could already obtain the first place in the sect's grand competition. But now there are three opponents at the sixth heaven level blocking my way. Relying on luck is not something I should choose, since I've made up my mind, I must see it through to the end. The opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion will not be missed, before the grand competition, breaking through to the sixth heaven level seems to have become a necessity."

  As Chu Lingfeng was guessing who the other two third-generation disciples with Six Heavens Realm strength were, he didn't hesitate to toss the "Crazy Origin Pill" into his mouth.

  The elixir dissolves instantly, its fragrance refreshing the heart and spleen. In just a few breaths, a vast, mysterious heat rises from the Dan Tian, like a mighty wind.

  "Human rank fivefold heaven inverted peak boundary can increase two success rates, Crazy Yuan Dan can increase three success rates, belonging to the top-grade cultivation method 'Xuanyang Qiling Jue' can increase two success rates, seven success rate opportunities...it's worth a try..."

  Ten days and nights passed in the blink of an eye, and they met again at the time when the sun rose and the moon sank. Suddenly, a long whistle-like sound like a dragon's chant was heard from the top of the Purple Cloud Peak. A flash of blue sword light suddenly appeared in mid-air, sweeping across the top of the Purple Cloud Peak at an astonishing speed, finally landing in front of a small wooden hut.

  "Long Ya... it's been two years since we last met, and now you and I meet again..."

  Stroking the three-foot sword body that was faintly emitting a pale blue light, Chu Lin's gaze was instead cast far away in the direction of the Sealing Demon Valley.

  With the help of "Crazy Yuan Dan", he has now reached the sixth heaven of the human stage, and his entire essence, energy and spirit are completely different from before. Although it is only a breakthrough in one realm, it has brought about a qualitative change in Chu Linfeng as a whole person.

  "Three, six, nine is a pit, honest and not cheating me!"

  Feeling the tremendous change brought about by breaking through to the sixth heaven of the Mortal Realm, Chu Lianfeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh. After calculating the time until the Great Clan Competition, he slightly hesitated before raising his sword, Dragon's Tooth. The flying sword suddenly shone with a faint blue light and carried its master towards the Sealing Demon Valley.

  "Master, disciple has arrived!"
