This time, Ling Xiao accepted Yi Chengrong's invitation and went to the Yi Family's territory to drink and chat with the other Holy Emperor Holy Emperors.
During the banquet, Ling Xiao, Yi Chengrong, and the others reached a consensus and decided to work together to deal with the Ghastly Drake Sect.
However, what they needed to do now was to recruit those Saints or Holy Emperor Holy Emperors who wanted to suddenly advance.
Regardless of which martial artist it was, they could not resist the temptation of high tier medicinal pills.
Once they received the news, many people would definitely come to participate. When everyone was ready, it would be time to deal with the Ghastly Drake Sect together.
After resting for three days in the Yi Family, Ling Xiao returned to his cave abode outside the mountain range to refine pills again.
This time, he wanted to refine the Holy Emperor Pill for Yurou Fei and Sha Tian.
With the Moon Jewel Holy Light, Ten Thousand Year Geocentric Spring, and Ten Thousand Year Tree Sap as the main ingredients, as well as the other top grade eight spirit herbs as the main ingredients, he had all the ingredients.
There was nothing special about the pill refinement this time. The light attribute Holy Emperor Pill and the water and wood attribute Holy Emperor Pill were successfully refined by Ling Xiao.
Yurou Fei and Sha Tian's strength directly rose to the mid-stage Holy Emperor realm.
In addition, among the many Saints under his control, two peak Saints were also given the Holy Emperor Pill by Ling Xiao. One was lucky enough to become a low-stage Holy Emperor, while the other failed to break through and only reached the half-stage Holy Emperor realm.
As a result, Ling Xiao's side now had two mid-stage Holy Emperor Holy Emperors, one low-stage Holy Emperor, and one half-stage Holy Emperor. The other Saints were also raised to the same level by Ling Xiao's pills. Each Saint had the strength of a mid-stage Saint, and there were a total of thirty-seven Saints.
Such a force was definitely not inferior to the Yi, Huang, Qing, and Zhao families. In fact, they even had a lot more Saints.
"I can only hope that we can recruit some true peerless experts to help us this time. Otherwise, it won't be optimistic to deal with the Ghastly Drake Sect!" Ling Xiao muttered.
Yurou Fei, who had already come out of the cauldron, said with a twinkle in her beautiful eyes, "Xiao, don't worry. The Ghastly Python Sect has put a bounty on your life, but so many experts have come out to kill you. Now that you've used the Saint Pill and the Holy Emperor Pill as bait, there will definitely be more people coming to help!"
Feng Qingyuan, on the other hand, sat at the side without saying a word. There was a hint of contemplation between his brows.
Ling Xiao asked Feng Qingyuan: "Master's wife is thinking about Master again?"
Feng Qingyuan shook his head and said, "That's not it. I'm just wondering if we can find another strong helper to help us!"
"What kind of reinforcements can we have in the fortress?
We can only hope that those people won't dare to go against the Ghastly Drake Sect! "Ling Xiao laughed bitterly.
"No..." We can also have strong reinforcements in the stronghold. "Feng Qingyuan said as a token appeared in his hand.
"Mistress, this is?" Ling Xiao and Yurou Fei both looked at Feng Qingyuan in confusion.
Feng Qingyuan explained, "This was left behind for me by your master back then. He also knows a friend in the stronghold, and said that if there is a need, he can go find this friend of his. This person will definitely help."
"Mistress, why didn't you say so earlier that you had this backup plan?" Ling Xiao exclaimed in joy.
Feng Qingyuan said, "With Xiao Er here, I have never thought of looking for help from others. It's just that your plan is too big, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to handle it alone. Furthermore, those families that have agreed might not go all out to fight, so Mistress felt that it was necessary to look for him as a friend."
"Master, what is the strength of this friend?
If he is too weak, it will be of no use! "Yurou Fei said from the side.
"I don't know either, but to be able to befriend your master, he shouldn't be too weak!"
What's more, the other party is from the Myriad Sword Sect! "Feng Qingyuan shook his head.
"Myriad Sword Sect?
The leader of the four great powers, the Myriad Sword Sect? "Ling Xiao exclaimed.
Feng Qingyuan nodded his head, and said with a strange expression: "That's right, her name is Yin Xue!"
"Jun Xue?
It should be a woman's name, right? "Yurou Fei said from the side.
At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Haha, I know why Mistress doesn't want to look for this friend!"
The Evil Emperor had lived a romantic life, and this woman called Yin Xue in front of him, most likely had a relationship with the Evil Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have emphasized that she was a trustworthy person.
As a woman, Feng Qingyuan naturally did not have a good impression of her rival in love.
If it wasn't for the current situation, she definitely wouldn't have told this matter to Ling Xiao, and she didn't want to get to know Yin Xue either.
"Are you asking for a beating?" Feng Qingyuan glared at Ling Xiao and shouted.
"If Mistress doesn't want to use this relationship, then forget it. I don't want Mistress to fight with him!" Ling Xiao said.
Feng Qingyuan stroked his hair, revealing a flirtatious expression as he said, "Ever since I fell in love with your master, I knew that he would not be a man that I could enjoy alone. He is just as dissolute as you, causing love debts everywhere, but a woman that can hold him back has yet to appear, so I'm afraid that Yin Xue is just like me, one of the pitiful women that he abandoned!"
"Then Mistress …" Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Feng Qingyuan did not wait for him to speak, and said: "Leave this matter to me. I will make a trip to the Myriad Sword Sect's territory and see if I can borrow her power to deal with the Yin Drake Sect!"
"Alright, since Mistress insists, I will let Rou Fei and Sha Tian escort you there!" Ling Xiao replied.
"No need, it's much more dangerous to be around you than me. Moreover, the Yin Drake Sect's people are not after me, as long as I keep a low profile and change my appearance, no one will be able to do anything to me. Moreover, as long as it's not the Holy Emperor, no one can do anything to me, don't think that your mistress is old and useless!" Feng Qingyuan glared at Ling Xiao and said.
Ling Xiao did not try to persuade her anymore, but he still sent the low level Holy Emperor and the half Holy Emperor to her side to protect her until she reached the Myriad Sword Sect.
Ling Xiao asked the Yi Clan to send Feng Qingyuan to the teleportation formation.
The Yi Clan was surprised to see someone else suddenly appear from the cave, but they did not dare to ask anything. After all, Ling Xiao was a Great Saint Master that even their Old Clan Master wanted to curry favor with.
"I hope Mistress will gain something from this trip!" Ling Xiao sighed softly at the entrance of the cave, then returned to the cave.
He could only wait for the rogue cultivators recruited by the Yi Clan to arrive, and make use of this time to cultivate and accumulate power, striving to reach the Intermediate Saint level as soon as possible.
He realized that his current cultivation was still too weak here. If he went to the Heaven Region, a place where only gods existed, he was afraid that he would only be a small fry. If he encountered any trouble, they could crush him with a single finger.
Currently, Ling Xiao had the Five Elements and Wind Origin Holy Items in his hands.
These were the ingredients for the Holy Emperor Pill provided by the Yi Clan, Huang Clan, Qing Clan, and Zhao Clan.
He could use this Origin Energy to suddenly reach the Intermediate Saint level.
When Ling Xiao passed through the nine layers of the spatial barrier, the Evil Demonic Heavenly Fire Bead, the Tree of Immortality, and the Connate Yin Wind Bead had absorbed a large amount of energy into his dantian, giving him the strength to break through to the Intermediate Saint level.
However, in order to strengthen his foundation, Ling Xiao had specially compressed the energy so that he could remain at the peak of the Low Level Saint level.
Now that he had the Origin Holy Item, it was the purest energy for any cultivator, allowing him to break through to the next level without any side effects.
Metal Origin Energy was one of the Origin Holy Items that Ling Xiao had the most in stock. Other than the ones he obtained from the spatial barrier, the Yi Clan had also provided him with some, and the Huang and Zhao Clan had also provided him with some. He no longer had to worry about not having enough in the future, so he decided to take some out to absorb and refine it.
Metal Origin Energy was a type of Origin Energy that only existed in a special place with metal-type Spirit Qi. It was golden in color and flashed with a dazzling light, giving off a sharp and oppressive feeling.
After Ling Xiao adjusted his condition, he opened his mouth and sucked in the ball of Metal Origin Energy.
Ling Xiao felt a sharp pain, as if he was being stabbed by a sword. It was as if he had not swallowed a ball of Qi, but a golden sword.
The golden sword was piercing his meridians, acupuncture points, and organs, making Ling Xiao feel unbearable pain. Beads of cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao had already cultivated the Ancient Emperor Divine Technique, so his meridians and organs had been strengthened. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Metal Origin Energy.
An ordinary person would not have been able to bear it.
He really did not expect the Metal Origin Energy to be so domineering. It felt like it could take his life.
In fact, Ling Xiao had been a little too hasty.
This most basic Origin Energy should have been absorbed and refined bit by bit so that he would not feel this kind of pain.
Although this small amount of Origin Energy was not to be underestimated, the metal-type power it contained was absolutely massive. When it entered his stomach, it naturally produced a huge impact of the elemental power.
The metal-type power was the sharpest and sharpest power in the first place, so the impact was naturally painful.
Ling Xiao's Gui Yuan Venerate circulated his energy rapidly and directly absorbed and divided this massive Origin Energy. At the same time, the Ancient Emperor Divine Technique was also quietly circulating and devouring this power.
Most of the Metal Origin Energy fell into his dantian and was assimilated into the five different elemental powers. A small portion flowed into Ling Xiao's flesh, meridians, and organs, causing his already golden organs to shine even more brightly.
Ling Xiao spent about 10 days refining this power, and his aura was gradually increasing.
However, these increasing forces were compressed by Ling Xiao again and again. They were all gathered at one point, so they didn't explode at all.
After this Origin Energy was completely absorbed and refined by him, Ling Xiao completely released this power.
Ling Xiao's aura reached a critical point in an instant. In the blink of an eye, this surging power directly broke through this critical point and crossed into the wider Rong Na Realm.
This power that had been compressed for a long time not only broke through a level in an instant, but it also advanced towards a deeper level before finally stabilizing in the middle level of the mid-level Saint Realm.
This was the result of Ling Xiao repeatedly compressing and accumulating various powers. This time, he had used the purest Origin Energy to break through.
This was a sacred item that even the Holy Emperor had to rely on. For a Saint like him, the effect was naturally even more significant.
