Chapter 49: Body Cultivator in Close Combat! 9 Deaths, 1 Survival!

"Given your status, it certainly wasn't you who went back then. It's a bit of a pity that the mistake of a low-level outer disciple cost you, a dignified outer sect steward of the Xuanming Sect, your life!"

Chu Xuan's words struck a chord with the old man. As a powerful expert at the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from the Dao Platform, who would pay attention to a lowly outer disciple who went to a village to collect talismans?

I wouldn't even bother to look at a disciple like that normally, so to die for such a disciple would be too humiliating.

I have worked hard for so many years to get to where I am today. Although there is no hope of becoming a Daotai, at least I can still live a carefree life in the market for thirty years. I can't just let it all go to waste!

"Who went there back then? Tell me quickly, the first person to point it out will be richly rewarded."

Seeing the hesitant crowd around him, the old man spoke again: "Give me another Lesser Breakthrough Pill!"

Upon hearing this, many disciples, even those in danger, had their eyes light up. That was a Lesser Breakthrough Pill; with the pill, they could break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.

From an ordinary outer disciple in the early stages of Qi Refining to a core outer disciple, although both are outer disciples, their status is completely different.

Although outer disciples in the early stages of Qi Refining are outer disciples of the Xuanming Sect, they are not recorded in the Xuanming Sect's roster and, strictly speaking, are not considered true disciples of the Xuanming Sect.

Or perhaps their status as outer disciples is only valid within Qingyuefang.

Once one advances to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one can be registered in the Xuanming Sect's roster and become a formal outer disciple of the Xuanming Sect. This status is recognized throughout the entire Xuanming Sect territory, in all markets and spiritual lands, and even by the Xuanming Sect itself.

Disciples at this level are considered to have truly entered the Xuanming Sect. If they perform well, they may even have the opportunity to be transferred back to the main Xuanming Sect to cultivate within the sect.

Even if they don't return to the sect, they can be transferred to other spiritual lands to cultivate spiritual herbs, which is much better than staying in the market.

If you are not afraid of death and want to fight for a future, you can join the Xuanming Sect Battle Hall to practice battle formations. Once a war breaks out, you can go to war with the sect's higher-ups.

Although the mortality rate is somewhat high, there is a greater possibility, and there is even hope of taking a chance on the Daotai.

"Steward, the one who died back then was Wang Feng, a member of the Seventh Squad."

One of the young men couldn't resist the temptation and immediately spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to the group of people standing to the side. Chu Xuan's gaze followed suit, indicating that these were the members of that small team.

When Chu Xuan looked over, everyone's faces turned pale. Immediately, someone spoke up: "Senior, it was Song Qi who delivered that whip, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, we protected that mortal once. Otherwise, Song Qi would definitely have killed him."

In just a few words, the whole story was explained clearly.

Actually, it wasn't that complicated; it was just a matter concerning an ordinary person. If a cultivator hadn't died because of it, probably no one would remember it.

Among the crowd, a woman looked at Chu Xuan with a deathly pale face. Upon seeing him, she immediately knelt on the ground. "Senior, spare me! I was only angry at the time and only struck him once; I didn't kill him!"

"This junior is willing to accept punishment tenfold, please, senior, spare my life!"

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly and released the old man's shoulder. Just from that one move they exchanged, Chu Xuan already knew the old man's strength. Perhaps once he mobilized his magic power, his strength would not be weak.

But given his speed, he could never muster his magic power in front of him. If a body cultivator gets close, you'd better be a body cultivator too, or you're in for a very tough time!

"What you say makes sense. You didn't kill anyone, so you shouldn't be sentenced to death."

Upon hearing this, the woman called Song Qi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not a good person, and I'm unreasonable!"

The woman's smile froze, and Chu Xuan said to himself, "Fortunately, you're unreasonable too, so killing you is justified."

"That person is just an ordinary mortal, who did nothing to offend you, as weak as an ant, yet you casually whipped him. What kind of logic is that?"

"I, I... will kill!"

The woman's eyes sharpened instantly. With a wave of her hand, a talisman was activated by spiritual power, and a surge of rich spiritual energy rose up, transforming into a golden sword aura that rushed straight towards Chu Xuan's neck.

Although Chu Xuan was perfectly capable of stopping all of this, he made no move and allowed the talisman to be released.

Seeing the golden sword energy hurtling towards him, Chu Xuan casually grabbed it and crushed it with a slight effort.

The eyes of everyone around widened instantly. Crushing the golden sword talisman with bare hands? What kind of freak is this?

This must be a reincarnation of a demon beast. How could a human body be so powerful?

However, while everyone was shocked by Chu Xuan's strength, Chu Xuan himself kept shaking his head in his heart, thinking, "So weak!"

This golden sword talisman is only so-so in power. I don't even need to use the magic power hidden in my body. I can easily crush it with just the strength of my body. It doesn't require much effort. It's as simple as crushing a raw egg.

"How is that possible?"

Song Qi stared at Chu Xuan in disbelief. This was a top-grade first-tier golden sword talisman, his most treasured possession, a trump card he had bought with several years' worth of savings.

It was originally intended for killing someone of a higher level, but it was crushed so easily.

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly, his figure swayed, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes. When they looked again, Chu Xuan was still standing in the same place, as if he had never moved at all, except that he had a storage bag in his hand.

But when everyone looked at Song Qi, they found that he had fallen to the ground at some point, with a clear palm print on the top of his head!

One fatal blow!

So fast!

This was the only thought in everyone's mind. It was so fast that no one could even see Xuan's shadow. Even the white-haired old man next to him was shocked.

This is too fast! There's no time to even form hand seals. Where did this monster come from? Instead of properly cultivating my magic power and developing such a powerful physical body, I've spent years painstakingly practicing magic, yet I'm completely powerless against it.

Perhaps only those Daoist masters and those geniuses who can instantly unleash their magic power at the Qi Refining Realm can fight against him.

His divine sense swept through Song Qi's storage bag, finding nearly fifty spirit stones, several bottles of pills, a magic sword, and a pile of clothes.

Song Qi's cultivation level should be at the third level of Qi Refining, which is not much different from Wang Feng, who died at his hands. However, the wealth they possess is on completely different levels.

Not only is Song Qi wealthy, but he also possesses a first-grade high-ranking talisman. Wang Feng is no match for Song Qi. In Wang Feng's possession, there is only one magical artifact that is barely worth considering.
