  Outside Yao Valley, Chu Lianfeng stood still in front of a giant boulder about five zhang high and ten people could wrap their arms around it.

  But then, Chu Linfeng's fingers moved swiftly and decisively, as a deep red flame suddenly burst forth from his fingertips. Initially, the flame was only about the size of a palm, but as Chu Linfeng continued to infuse it with his abundant true yuan energy, the flames grew stronger, becoming dazzlingly bright.

  In just a few breaths of time, Chu Linfeng suddenly condensed a fireball about one zhang in diameter in front of him.

  The flames, though like fire, were entirely unlike the color of ordinary fire. The scarlet light was as if it had been given life, rapidly expanding and at the same time generating a terrifying high temperature that could melt gold and iron. Within a radius of ten meters around Chu Linfeng, all the flowers and grasses withered and died under this terrifying high temperature.

  When Chu Linfeng exhausted the last bit of his true yuan energy, the originally deep red flames suddenly changed color and transformed into a very pure pale purple flame.

  Perhaps it should no longer be described as "purple flame", when the temperature of the flame reaches a certain limit - the flame becomes inflammation.

  "Extreme Radiance Flame Dragon——"

  Suddenly, a burst of Chu Linfeng's voice was heard, and the seal changed again. The flames in front of him shot out at an astonishing speed towards a giant boulder tens of meters away.

  As the flames rose, they also transformed into a dragon shape, bringing with them a terrifying high temperature that incinerated everything in the surrounding space into ashes.

  Boom

  Flames illuminated the surroundings as the fireball struck the massive boulder, and the flying flames that burst out almost enveloped an area of over ten zhang in diameter. Fortunately, Chu Linfeng reacted quickly and retreated more than ten zhang to the rear with "Dī Fēng Huàn Bù", otherwise he would have been affected by the impact.

  "Is this the power of the Tiered Divine Technique?!"

  The gaze focused on the giant rock that had already been melted into magma by "Extreme Radiant Dragon" and completely collapsed, Chu Linfeng couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

  Although Chu Linfeng's true yuan force was almost exhausted at this moment, his physical fatigue could not hide the joy in his heart. At this moment, Chu Linfeng was completely immersed in the immense power of "Extreme Radiance Flame Dragon".

  "This 'Extreme Radiant Dragon' is just a subordinate general-level divine technique, but it has an attack power that is not inferior to the king-level divine technique. It is one of the top ten powerful moves among hundreds and thousands of attacking general-level divine techniques..."

  In his mind, the words that Tongxuan Zhenren had said to him two years ago when he passed on the "Extreme Radiance Flame Dragon" resurfaced, and Chu Linfeng couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

  "After a fierce battle of over 90 days and nights in the outer domain of Medicine Valley, I narrowly escaped death several times, hunted down more than ten three-tiered demon beasts, and relied on the power of the demon pill to reach the current peak of the fifth heaven of the human stage. Compared to my cultivation two years ago before losing my Xuan Yang spiritual body, my current cultivation is even stronger. Moreover, I have cultivated the "Xuan Yang Qi Ling Jue" which is several times more powerful than the "Xuan Yuan Jue", causing my true yuan power to increase greatly. With my current cultivation and strength, even if I were to encounter He Changfeng, who is currently known as the strongest among the three generations of disciples in the Xuan Yuan Sect and has already reached the sixth heaven of the human stage, I should still have a chance to fight him. If I can refine another magical treasure before the sect's grand competition, I will be invincible..."

  "It's been two years, and I've finally regained the cultivation I lost two years ago... and even surpassed it. I, Chu Linfeng, will retake everything I lost two years ago..."

  At the current level of cultivation, Chu Linfeng's strength had already reached the fifth stage of the Tian Feng realm. The demon core of a third-stage demon beast could no longer bring about any improvement in his cultivation, unless he entered the inner domain of Yao Gu where it was possible to hunt and kill fourth-stage or higher demon beasts.

  However, the danger within the Medicine Valley is far beyond what outsiders can imagine. Even the senior elders of the Sect who are sent to collect medicinal herbs in the Medicine Valley every year do not dare to linger for too long inside the valley. They all rely on the maps left behind by their predecessors to pick medicinal herbs within the valley, and never dare to take half a step beyond that, because once they make a wrong move or misstep within the Medicine Valley, even if they are senior elders of the Sect, they will still be unable to escape the calamity of encountering the Eight-Stage Demonic Beasts within the valley.

  Chu Linfeng was no longer the arrogant and reckless young man he once was. Two years of being a "waste person", two years of cold ridicule, two years of white-eyed humiliation, and two years of living in the lowest level of sorrow had transformed him. Under the premise of knowing the situation within the Medicine Valley's inner domain, Chu Linfeng hesitated for only a moment before giving up on the idea of continuing to explore the inner domain.

  "Since there is no more value in improving one's own strength here, it's time to leave the valley."

  Just as Chu Linfeng appeared at the entrance of the valley, he was immediately sensed by Zhu Baishui, who had been guarding this place. With a flicker of his foot, Zhu Baishui was already standing in front of Chu Linfeng, "Huh, you..."

  With the strength to congratulate a hundred-year-old man on his seventh heaven, he can now rely on his spiritual sense to distinguish the depth of the sixth heaven's cultivation. Suddenly, he saw Chu Linfeng, who was only in the second heaven of human cultivation two months ago, standing in front of him with the strength of the fifth heaven's peak realm. This terrifying speed of progress made him stunned on the spot.

  "Happy birthday to you, Uncle..."

  Chu Linfeng saw Zhu Baishui's stunned expression and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Disciple is leaving the valley, thank you to Master Zhu for allowing disciple to enter Yao Valley back then."

  "Fivefold Heaven of Human Realm... the realm of Fivefold Heaven of Human Realm! In just three short months, you've actually made such rapid progress... how did you do it..."

  At this moment of celebrating your hundredth birthday, you may have calmed down a bit, but the shock in your heart has not weakened in the slightest.

  To know that Zhu Baishi went from the second stage of the Human Realm to the fifth stage in just over ten years, the gap is simply heaven and earth apart. In Zhu Baishi's concept, even if the wind in front of him was a heavenly gift, it would not be possible to break through continuously within such a short period of time.

  Chu Linfeng naturally understood the reason for the question, but he didn't have the slightest hint of arrogance, and instead calmly said: "It's all just a coincidence, I still need to hurry back to the sect. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

  "Before you go, can you tell me your surname and name, and whose disciple are you in the clan?"

  Chu Linfeng's mouth curled up with a faint smile, and before he completely disappeared from Zhu Baishi's sight, he floated away saying: "Disciple Chu Linfeng, merely an odd-job disciple of the Xuan Yuan Sect, has not yet taken anyone within the sect as his master..."

  "A low-ranking disciple of the fifth heaven..."

  Zhū bǎi suì dào chōu le yī kǒu liáng qì, yǎn zhōng jìn shì hài rán zhī sè, liáng jiǔ fāng cái cháng tàn yī kǒu qì, dài zhe jǐ xǔ xīn wèi de zì yán zì yǔ dào: "Xuán yuán zōng néng dé cǐ mén rén, bù chū bǎi nián, dìng yǒu gèng shàng yī céng lóu zhī qī, shí nǎi zōng mén zhī xìng!"

  Returning to the small hut that had accumulated dust, Chu Linfeng tidied up a bit before taking off the storage bag from his waist. This was a gift given by Tongxuan Zhenren when he accepted Chu Linfeng as his personal disciple two years ago. Although the storage space of this bag was only a few dozen square meters, it was still a rare item. After all, among the thousands of disciples in the Xuan Yuan Sect, there were less than twenty who owned a storage bag.

  In the Cultivation Realm, storage bags are the lowest-end type of storage artifact. The mustard seed space inside can have a maximum area of only ten square meters. Above it is the storage ring, which can hold items with an area of hundreds of square meters. At the highest end is the storage ring, which can store items with an area of thousands of square meters.

  But similar storage items like the Storage Ring, even in the vast cultivation world, there are only a handful of owners. Even Tongxuan True Person, the current leader of the Xuan Yuan Sect, doesn't have one and still uses a storage bracelet instead.

  Chu Linfeng's mouth curved into a slight arc as he gazed at the pile of materials extracted from the three-stage demonic beast in front of him.

  "Breaking through from the fifth heaven to the sixth heaven is a bottleneck. Without the help of spiritual elixirs and wonderful medicines, even with one's own innate heavenly yang spirit body's natural talent, it would still require a year and a half of quiet cultivation to have any possibility of breaking through. Now, with only two months left until the sect's grand competition, time is already running out. At present, the only way to increase one's own strength is to obtain a treasure."

  "With the cultivation strength of the fifth layer of the Human Realm, relying on the Xuan Yang Spiritual Body's innate talent, I can already control and use the most basic Yuan Fire among the three great Refining Fires of the Xuan Yang Instrument Spirit Scripture, and also refine some relatively low-grade magical treasures."
