Chapter Twelve: The War of the Golden Elixir

  A streak of light flashed across the sky.

  Others in the Cloud City were suddenly startled, after all, a Golden Dan period cultivator, although not considered anything in those famous sects, but here is also a figure of great importance. The Yin Yang Sect's industries in Cloud City are all managed by this white-robed old man, and he ran out with such anger, something must have happened.

  The others in Yun Cheng didn't move, but a ray of light suddenly flew up from Zong's territory.

  It was a five-colored cloud, an extremely seductive female immortal quietly rose into the air and chased in the direction of that white-clothed old man.

  Yin and Yang sects have always been at odds, with both sides vying for industrial interests and constant friction.

  If there is an opportunity to kick a person who has fallen down, it will definitely not be let go.

  South China Sea

  Li Qingyun had just tidied up and erased the marks of battle when he saw a flash of light flying in from afar.

  "Jindan period cultivator?"

  His expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and flew towards the direction of the sea.

  That white-faced bookworm must have a high status here, otherwise someone wouldn't rush over so quickly. Core figures of such sects usually have a life lamp; if the lamp goes out, it means something has happened to them. Li Qingyun originally had a life lamp too, in the palace where Qingyang Palace's Master Qingxu was cultivating, but I don't know if it's been taken away now.

  After all, he is no longer the top disciple of Qingyang Palace now.

  If it were a cultivator in the Void Core stage, he could still challenge him with the Golden Elixir liquid circulating within his body. However, if the opponent was also a True Person in the Golden Core stage, Li Qingyun didn't have much confidence.

  "Where is he going?"

  The white-robed old man's escaping light stopped for a moment, and then he opened his palm towards Li Qingyun and grabbed it.

  A majestic surge of true yuan erupted, immediately transforming into a massive handprint descending from the sky. The power of a Golden Core cultivator was already astonishing and shocking to the world.

  As the white-robed old man made his move, the heavenly spiritual energy in the vicinity began to churn violently, and a virtual shadow appeared on the cloud layer. This was the divine soul that was about to transform into a Yuan Infant. The opponent was a Golden Elixir late-stage True Person who had already locked onto his position with the power of his divine soul.

  "Ten layers of Refining Qi?"

  "Absolutely impossible! He must have cultivated some kind of hidden boundary technique!"

  The old man in white was somewhat shocked and tried to use his yuan god's power to see the other's cultivation, but no matter how he looked, it was still only the tenth layer of the Lianqi period.

  "Supreme Clear Sky Cloud Piercing Sword!"

  Li Qingyun's skin turned into a sheet of crimson gold, and his entire body was like a sharp sword that shot up to the sky.

  This is his first time using swordsmanship.

  Even if it were a cultivator of the Void Dan stage facing him, it wouldn't be worth drawing his sword.

  Although there was no sword in his hand, Li Qingyun had the sharpness of a Xuanjin sword in his heart. He broke open the large palm print that he had grabbed from the sky with his palm, and thirty-six sword edges condensed into substance, carrying an overbearing aura that slashed towards the Jindan cultivator in front of him.

  "Geng metal with band evil, strong and healthy is the best."

  Li Qingyun was born with a metal element in his destiny, and he was also a person with a geng metal evil spirit. His swordsmanship was the most overbearing, directly cutting off the opponent's magic.

  "Metal of Geng brings harm, but makes it strong and healthy. With water, it becomes clear; with fire, it becomes sharp."

  As the sword's edge grew more intense, a bolt of lightning power floated at his fingertips. Golden Must Invite Thunder, the Dragon Clan's cultivation method must invite thunder and lightning to temper the body, only then can it clear out impurities within the body and refine the strongest Golden Elixir flesh.

  "Yin Yang Mask!"

  A black and white illusory shadow appeared, transforming into a Taiji diagram that blocked the golden elixir cultivator's path.

  Li Qingyun's sword edge opened up thirty-six gaps on the Taiji diagram, but was soon dissolved, and the Taiji diagram reassembled itself.

  "Top-grade spiritual artifact!?"

  Li Qingyun's brow furrowed involuntarily; if he still had the Kunshan Sword in hand, the Golden Elixir cultivator before him might already have been beheaded.

  But he doesn't have a spiritual treasure in his hand now, and other swords can't break through the opponent's defense.

  Although Li Qingyun was not satisfied with the result of his one sword, the white-robed old man in his heart was shocked and frightened. As the guardian elder of Yun City's Yin Yang Sect, he only had this one top-grade spiritual instrument in his hand. The opponent actually almost broke through his defense with just one move, but no matter how he looked at the opponent, he only had a cultivation base of ten layers in the Refining Qi period.

  "This made him secretly wonder: 'What kind of monster is this?'"

  "Turn evil into good!"

  No matter if he has hidden his cultivation or not, this child absolutely cannot be kept.

  The old man in white had already formed a murderous intention in his heart. As he rotated the Taiji diagram to form the yang side, a green sword light also appeared in his hand.

  "Yin and Yang give birth to the sword!"

  A blue sword light tore through the sky, bringing with it an extremely fierce and powerful aura as it slashed down!

  Li Qing's eyebrows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "It's an elder of the Yin Yang Sect!"

  "It seems that the white-faced scholar who was beheaded is indeed an important figure of the Yin-Yang Sect in Yun City."

  He rummaged through the 100,000 volumes of scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion, and naturally had some knowledge of the Yin-Yang Sect's swordsmanship. This was a swordsmanship that only the elders could cultivate, and its true power could only be unleashed at the Yuan Ying stage or above. That white-robed elder seemed to have developed a murderous intent towards him, and actually used this move as soon as he struck. If he were killed by this sword move, his soul would disperse directly.

  "Cloud-Flipping Palm!"

  Li Qingyun faced the incoming blue sword light and directly raised his hand to slap it.

  Clang!

  The sound of gold and iron clashing.

  Li Qingyun's figure flew backward for hundreds of feet, his palm was cut open with a gash, and threads of golden blood dripped down.

  He flew towards the direction of the sea without hesitation.

  At his current level of cultivation, exchanging one or two moves with a Golden Core True Immortal would already be his limit.

  The golden elixir in his body was fundamentally insufficient to support him in launching a true sword move, and without using the Gengjin Sword Technique, he had no chance of defeating a Golden Elixir cultivator.

  "How is it possible?"

  "Actually able to receive my Qingguang sword with bare hands!"

  The old man in white clothes had an incredulous look on his face, and he even suspected that he might have encountered a demon.

  Only the demon clan has such a powerful physical body.

  His life-bound treasure, the Qingguang Sword, was only a lower-grade spiritual artifact and not as valuable as the Taiji Yinyang diagram he wore on his body, but it wasn't something that a cultivator could catch with their bare hands either.

  Facing Li Qingyun who was turning around and fleeing, the white-clothed old man hesitated for a moment.

  In the end, he still drove the light and chased after him.

  If we don't behead him today, he will definitely become a great threat in the future!

  "Five Elements Escape Technique?"

  "Sure enough, his cultivation was hidden!"

  The old man in white clothes gazed at the ground beneath his feet, and his expression became slightly more natural.

  According to his estimation, the other party was very likely also a Jindan period cultivator, only he didn't know what kind of hidden boundary technique they had cultivated, which made them seem like they were only at the tenth layer of Qi Refining.

  Otherwise, it would be impossible to use the Five Elements Escape Technique that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can use.

  "Yin and Yang Manifest!"

  "Open it for me!"

  An old man in white clothes suddenly took out a mirror and placed it on the ground, after which a faint shadow appeared floating at the seaside.

  "Where is he going?"

  He pushed his magical treasure to its limits, and with a raise of his hand, a sword light slashed down.

  Clang!

  A crisp metallic collision sound rang out.

  Li Qingyun's figure flew out again and fell directly into the sea, then sank to the bottom of the sea.

  Want to run?

  "It's not that easy!"

  The old man in white clothes performed the Water Separation Technique and transformed into a flowing light that rushed into the depths of the ocean.

  Two figures flashed by at the bottom of the sea, Li Qingyun relied on his strong talent to use the Water Escape Technique, while the white-robed old man relied on the thickness of his true yuan to directly break through the seawater and chase after him.

  In the sky.

  A five-colored rainbow cloud appears.

  A seductive female cultivator stopped in mid-air, wearing an exceptionally revealing outfit. Her expression was somewhat surprised and uncertain as she asked, "Who is that person?"

  "Why can only those in the Refining Qi stage fight against that old man Zong Yin?"

  Two people chased and rushed into the deep sea area.

  This is the activity area of sea monsters and also the territory of mermaids in the South China Sea.

  In recent years, the relationship between the merfolk of the South China Sea and the Xianjing has become increasingly tense, with armed conflicts occurring more than once or twice.

  The newly appointed mermaid queen, although her cultivation was not high, equivalent to a Xian cultivator in the Houtian stage, was ruthless and decisive towards Xian cultivators, and anyone who dared to enter their territory would be killed without mercy!

  If it's just to satisfy your curiosity, then it's not worth going on an adventure for.

  Moreover

  Recently, the South China Sea has been continuously rising with auspicious clouds and immortal energy, probably indicating that some precious treasure is about to be born.

  Many monks are rushing over now, all wanting a share of the spoils. There's no need to waste our strength here.

  If she encountered a strong merman, it would not be easy for her to retreat unscathed even if she wanted to. Not to mention that recently the entire Cloud City has been circulating rumors of a white dragon swimming from the East Sea to here.

  Dragon tribe!

  Thinking of this, the enchanting female cultivator turned around and hurried back along the way she came.
