Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bodhi Dan Formula

  "How did he appear here, has he been following us all along? Impossible, Shi Feng didn't say he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, if he had been following us, he would have been discovered long ago, he must have just arrived"

  Chen Yuan was shocked at this moment, staring at Wang Ke, his eyes flashing, but in his heart, he was thinking quickly. At this time, he had already suffered serious injuries, and even if Wang Ke was just a beginner, it would be difficult to deal with him. Earlier, he had taken the spiritual pill, and as long as he was given some time to recover a bit of spiritual power, he could launch a fatal blow later. He thought that this little guy in front of him wouldn't be able to escape either.

  "This junior brother, we just encountered a snake attack, and several junior brothers who came with me have been injured," Chen Yuan said, his face showing a painful expression.

  Wang Ke stood not far away, watching Chen Yuan's solo performance with a hint of amusement on his face. However, in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed the world of cultivation - the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and everyone is vying for power. It seems my previous thoughts were too naive."

  Today, seeing the scenes that happened here, Wang Ke suddenly saw through the cruelty of the immortal world and his mood underwent a huge change. Suddenly, he seemed to have matured a lot.

  Chen Yuan stared at Wang Ke while quickly recovering the spiritual energy within his body. Feeling the spiritual energy gradually recovering, Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, but didn't reveal a single hint on his face.

  "Do you really think I didn't see anything just now, Chen Yuan?" Wang Ke felt it was unnecessary to wait any longer. With Chen Yuan's ruthless and cunning nature, he would definitely deal with him once he recovered. Although his own strength had increased a lot, he still didn't want to encounter such trouble.

  As soon as Wang Ke said this, Chen Yuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "Heh heh, it seems I underestimated you. Since you've seen something you shouldn't have, then you can't be left alive today."

  Although the time was short, Chen Yuan had recovered a bit of his strength and thought that he could handle Wang Ke with no problem at all. Suddenly, he burst out and a sword light flew towards Wang Ke to kill him.

  "Hmph" Looking at the cyan sword light in front of him, a hint of disdain flashed across Wang Ke's eyes. His right hand suddenly pinched the sword finger, and in an instant, ten sword lights condensed in front of him. With a stir of the sword finger, the ten sword lights rushed out, enveloping Chen Yuan's cyan sword light inside.

  Only to see Chen Yuan's cyan sword light being struck by Wang Ke's ten sword lights, instantly shattered, a foot-long flying sword flew out of the sword light and was inserted into the edge of the water pool, with no spiritual light on the flying sword.

  "Ugh......" Just as the sword light was shattered, a mouthful of blood spurted out from Chen Yuan's mouth. His mind and flying sword were connected, and at this moment, he suffered heavy damage, his eyes wide open in extreme shock, staring at Wang Ke.

  "Impossible, impossible! How can you have such strong power? Shi Feng didn't say that you were only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul?! Chen Yuan had never thought that Wang Ke would exhibit such powerful strength at this time."

  Can display Huajian Jue, has always been the middle stage of Naqi, and once displayed ten sword energies, has always been the existence of the core disciples of the sect.

  Wang Ke completely ignored Chen Yuan, the sword light condensed into one, and shot out in a flash, appearing on Chen Yuan's chest, piercing through his chest.

  Chen Yuan fell with a look of unwillingness, his chest leaving a large hole the size of a bowl, fresh blood staining the ground red, and he was gone in an instant.

  With a wave of his hand, the sword light flew back and merged into his body, disappearing from sight. Wang Ke's gaze swept around, and at this moment, six corpses were laid out by the edge of the pool. In the pool, the remaining half of the mysterious snake floated on the surface, covered in wounds. The surrounding area clearly showed signs of a fierce battle.

  With a flick of his gaze, Wang Ke suddenly stretched out his hand and beckoned, a cold light flashed from the edge of the pond and shot into his palm, revealing itself to be Chen Yuan's flying sword.

  The flying sword was one foot long, with a cyan color throughout its body, and felt slightly heavy in the hand. After Wang Ke's gaze swept over the flying sword for a while, he became excited, "Heh heh, it's actually a Xuan Iron Flying Sword, looks like I don't need to go inside to receive the Han Iron Flying Sword".

  Holding Chen Yuan's flying sword in his hand, he suddenly played with it. Suddenly, a burst of spiritual power surged out from Wang Ke's right hand and instantly poured into the flying sword. In an instant, a loud explosion sounded from the flying sword, and its surface began to violently tremble. After a short while, the flying sword suddenly emitted a brilliant green light. Wang Ke held the sword in his right hand, with a fierce glint in his eyes. The flying sword in his hand suddenly expanded to three feet three inches, and an astonishing sword aura burst out from it.

  "Cut!" Wang Ke grasped the flying sword in his hand, gave a light shout, raised the flying sword and slashed it down towards the direction of the water pool with force. A several-zhang-long green sword energy burst out and instantly cut onto the surface of the water pool.

  "Whoosh!" The water surface was cut open by this sword, and a deep sword mark appeared on the edge of the pond.

  "Haha, great, with the flying sword, it's indeed much more powerful, but still needs further refinement." Wang Ke was overjoyed and put away the flying sword. He then glanced at Chen Yuan's corpse, stretched out his hand, and beckoned. A storage bag flew out from Chen Yuan's waist and fell into Wang Ke's hands.

  Since the person was already dead, these things would naturally not be wasted. Afterwards, he also picked up several other people's storage bags and then snapped his hand, shooting out a few flames that instantly wrapped around the six corpses, turning them into ashes in an instant.

  Then Wang Ke's two hands suddenly struck the water pool, a violent force surged out of Wang Ke's hands and rushed into the water pool. In an instant, a huge wave rolled up, sweeping away all the battle marks on the edge of the water pool.

  It looks like this is almost done. Wang Ke nodded, and in this way, even if others came here, it would be very difficult for them to discover what had happened here.

  After doing all this, Wang Ke did not leave, but instead turned his gaze to the water pool. Chen Yuan and others came for treasure, regardless of self-mutilation, this treasure must be extraordinary. Now that the mysterious snake has been solved, Wang Ke decided to explore the water pool.

  With a burst of speed, Wang Ke's body flashed with spiritual light, and his spiritual energy formed a protective shield that enveloped him, carrying him down into the depths of the pool.

  Sinking into the water pool, Wang Ke carefully unfolded his spiritual sense to observe, sinking ten zhang down, Wang Ke found that below was getting bigger and deeper, and the spiritual power condensed in his eyes, couldn't see how deep it was.

  "Huh, there's actually a spiritual energy fluctuation" Suddenly, Wang Ke sensed a faint spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the left side. This pond was outside the forbidden area, how could it have spiritual energy fluctuations? Wang Ke's heart moved, and he drove his light shield in the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

  A short while later, Wang Ke appeared outside a dark cave entrance. The entrance was an irregular circle with a diameter of at least five zhang. Inside the cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell how deep it was. The faint spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from within the cave.

  Looking at the deep and mysterious cave, Wang Ke hesitated for a moment before floating towards the depths of the cave. The spiritual energy light shield separated the icy cold water, and at this time, Wang Ke concentrated his spiritual energy on his eyes, but he could only see things within three zhang (about 10 meters).

  Nor did he know how deep the cave was, winding and twisting, nor where it extended to. Wang could feel that he had already advanced for a while, and the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the front were getting stronger and stronger.

  "Hmm, it seems to be here!" Suddenly, Wang Ke's expression solidified as he looked forward. At this moment, the front suddenly opened up, revealing an underwater cave. The cave was dozens of feet high and over a hundred feet in diameter. Wang Ke's divine sense swept across, sizing up the cave. This cave drifted with a faint aura of a mysterious snake, and below it were scattered some fallen scales.

  "It seems that the mysterious snake is cultivating here" Wang Ke took a look around and floated to the left, on the left side of the cave, a crack appeared in front of Wang Ke, and an astonishing spiritual energy emanated from the crack.

  The crack was three feet wide and six feet high, the python's stout body could not squeeze in, Wang looked inside, his face showing a hesitant expression.

  The spiritual energy emanating from this crevice was a hundred times stronger than what he had felt at the summit of Xuanwu Peak. Wang Ke couldn't help but wonder where this crevice led to.

  "Let's go in and take a look." Wang Ke finally decided to enter and explore, flashing into the crevice and moving forward towards its depths.

  This crack was just big enough for one person to pass through, and after advancing for about half a time, Wang Ke rushed out of the crack and entered a new cave.

  "What a shocking spiritual energy!" Arriving at the new cave, Wang Ke felt as if he had entered a new world. The spiritual energy here was extremely rich and denser than anywhere else he had been to.

  "Huh, there's a bright light" Suddenly, he noticed that there was a bright light above his head, and his heart moved. He controlled the spiritual power light shield to move towards the bright light above.

  A mysterious cave, next to a pool of water, the calm surface suddenly rippled with circles, and then a figure burst out of the pool, flipping over and landing on the shore.

  After Wang Ke burst out of the water, he began to observe his surroundings. This new cave was filled with spiritual energy, and next to it was a stone platform. On the platform sat a skeleton, and beside the skeleton were some miscellaneous items.

  "Huh? Could this be the place where a predecessor has sat in meditation until death?" Seeing a skeleton in the cave, Wang Ke didn't feel afraid, but instead had a sudden thought.

  In the cave, apart from this skeleton and some miscellaneous items beside it, there was nothing else. Wang could walk over and gaze at the skeleton.

  Next to the withered bones, a pale golden jade plaque fell to the ground. Wang Ke stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the jade plaque landed in his own hand. On the front of the jade plaque were four ancient seal characters that read "Qing Long Peak Master".

  "A pale golden jade plaque, this is a Golden Elixir period expert, or the master of Qinglong Peak. It seems that his life has come to an end here. I suppose Chen Yuan and the others' destination was indeed this place. Let me see if there's anything left behind."

  Wang Ke started searching around and found that all the jade bottles next to the skeleton were empty, without leaving a single Ling Dan. There was also a flying sword, but this flying sword had lost its spiritual energy and turned into a piece of scrap iron, and even if it was refined again, it could not be used.

  Shaking his head, Wang Ke let out a helpless sigh. "Alas, there isn't even a storage bag. If Chen Yuan and the others found out that there's nothing here, they'd probably die from anger."

  However, Wang Ke still found something useful here. A white jade slip was taken into his hand, and what was recorded on it was not some kind of martial arts secret, but a dan formula.

  "If Bodhi Dan can refine this elixir, I suppose breaking through the boundary shouldn't be a problem," Wang Ke muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

  Bodhi Dan is a special spiritual elixir that assists in breaking through boundaries, useful for cultivators below the Dan-forming stage. Taking it when breaking through boundaries can greatly increase the chances of success, with more pronounced effects at lower levels. As he recalled the introduction to Bodhi Dan from the Jade Scroll, Wang's heart began to stir.

  After reaching the mid-term peak of Nascent Soul, he had already clearly felt the difficulty of breaking through the boundary. He tried many times but there was no sign of breakthrough. Now that he had the Bodhi Dan's dan formula, his mind became active again.

  "Hmm, looks like I need to find an opportunity to go out for a while, Bodhi Dan must be refined as soon as possible" Wang Ke muttered to himself, then he carefully searched the cave again, finding nothing left behind, and was about to leave when a familiar voice came from above his head.
