Chapter 55: A Midnight Visitor!

  The moonlight is bright and clean.

  Chu Yan's room light was still on, and for his cultivation, Chu Yan had an unyielding dedication that ordinary cultivators could not match, otherwise Chu Yan would not have been able to survive those three years.

  Inside the room, a dozen or so bright red light spots floated.

  "Alas, still can't!"

  Chu Yan opened his eyes, and a hint of helplessness involuntarily appeared on his face. Since he had condensed a strand of fire attribute spiritual energy, the "Blazing Fist Technique" had become extremely difficult to improve even by a single bit. At this speed, it was likely that not even in a hundred years would he be able to condense a second strand of fire attribute spiritual energy.

  Chu Yan was eager to improve his strength, with less than five months left before the sect's grand competition. Among the top ten of the Yu Hua Sect, excluding Chu Yan, even the weakest had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and were all high-ranking experts who had entered the late stage of Qi Refining. Meanwhile, Chu Yan was still stuck in the middle stage of Qi Refining - how could he not be anxious?

  Three years, if these three years were not wasted, what would Chu Yan be afraid of others?

  Of course, the strength of a cultivator does not depend solely on their cultivation level. For example, Chu Yan was only an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, yet he could defeat Qi E'mu, a tenth-level Qi Refining expert, and there were many reasons for this.

  Chu Yan thought carefully about his current means.

  First of all, magic:

  Water attribute magic, fusion and penetration below eight lines, nothing is impossible, and magic below three lines can even be released instantly.

  Chu Yan's killer move, Spell Fusion, any water attribute spell above 8th rank can be fused by Chu Yan using lower ranked water attribute spells, and the strongest killing move among them is precisely the 13th rank Water Phoenix Bursting the Heavens Technique!

  Fire attribute spell, after many days of contact, all fire attribute spells can be freely released.

  Secondly, it is the law enforcement:

  Chu Yan currently has four pieces of equipment: Unnamed Iron Staff (extreme-quality), Dragon Turtle Shield (extreme-quality), Fire Qilin Sword (high-quality) and Golden Copper Bell (high-quality).

  At present, Chu Yan's mental strength can barely control these four artifacts at the same time.

  Finally, there is the demonic pet:

  The Great Black Chicken is a type of demon beast that Chu Yan has never known, but its strength is undoubtedly strong, and its level is about three levels in the middle stage, which is equivalent to the power of a cultivator in the tenth layer of the Qi Refining period. Among the same level, the Great Black Chicken is hard to find an opponent.

  As for talismans, they can only be used when going out to practice, and are not allowed to be used in the sect's grand competition, so Chu Yan didn't buy any.

  Of course, Chu Yan's fundamental is still Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding is now Chu Yan's life-bound artifact. Although Xiao Ding can't fight against enemies for the time being, it can produce spiritual liquid, which is already somewhat against the heavens. Moreover, Chu Yan always feels that Xiao Ding's power is not limited to this!

  "Right!"

  Chu Yan suddenly remembered the old beggar giving himself a small black bottle today.

  Just thinking about what happened during the day made Chu Yan shudder with fear, that kind of pain was almost unbearable.

  "Out!"

  In Chu Yan's mind, a thought stirred, and on the back of his right hand, a white bony plate suddenly appeared.

  "What power does this thing have?"

  Chu Yan thought for a moment, then took out an ordinary dagger and stabbed the tip of the blade into the white bone fragment.

  "This..."

  Chu Yan had already used a great deal of force, but the dagger couldn't penetrate the white bone plate by even half an inch.

  Chu Yan took out the Huo Lin knife, and with a swift motion, he cut down towards the white bone fragment. The next moment, Chu Yan's eyes widened in shock - the white bone fragment didn't have even the slightest damage.

  "Strength comparable to top-grade artifacts, if this hand of mine is covered with a layer of these white bone fragments, then..."

  Chu Yan's head suddenly became hot with excitement, thinking about the scene where Bai Gu's palm wrapped in white bones resisted the flying sword was thrilling.

  Compared with such a powerful force, suffering some hardships is nothing.

  Chu Yan gritted his teeth and took out that small black bottle.

  He carefully poured a drop of the black liquid onto his hand, and to his surprise, there was no pain at all. The black liquid just stuck to Chu Yan's hand, without any signs of seeping into the skin.

  "Why is this?"

  "Dong Dong!"

  Just as Chu Yan was puzzled, there was a knock at the door.

  Chu Yan hastily poured the black powder on the back of his hand into a small black bottle, and the white bone fragments on the back of his hand also quickly retreated.

  Chu Yan looked at Liu Yue and smiled faintly: "Miss Liu is still not resting, what's the meaning of visiting so late at night?"

  Yue Ying's face turned slightly red as she said softly, "Come in and talk!"

  "My life was saved by Master Chu, and I've been troubling him all this time. My injury won't heal for a while, so I'll probably be bothering Master Chu for some more time..."

  Chu Yan was made to feel somewhat ill at ease by Liu Yueying's left and right "Young Master Chu", and hastily interrupted, "Miss Liu, you'd better just call me Chu Yan, these don't count for anything, and besides, Miss Liu has also saved my life!"

  Liu Yu Ying's expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt appeared on her face: "I, Liu Yu Ying, have always been a person who distinguishes between kindness and resentment. Earlier, I was momentarily confused and drove away the one you love..."

  Can't help but say that Chu Yan was really furious with Liu Yueying at the time, but he had hit her and she had changed greatly afterwards. Now, her temperament was elegant and refined, and she was also his lifesaver, so Chu Yan couldn't muster up any resentment towards her.

  "Willow girl, I..."

  "No need to say more, today I will impart to you a supreme technique for cultivating divine intention!"

  Liu Yu's eyes were firm and steady, her voice soft and calm, but in Chu Yan's heart, a storm was brewing.
