C180 Qilin a divine beast

Li Jie felt that the System was trying to scam him more and more.

After Zhang Xiaofan consumed the inner pellet, he started to get lucky, wanting to absorb the energy contained within the pellet.

Who knew that after consuming it, there would be a powerful energy circulating through his meridians? He couldn't control it at all. He had never experienced this kind of feeling before.

However, he continued to suppress it. He wanted to suppress the energy and keep it for himself, but it was extremely difficult.

At this moment, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his face had turned malevolent.

Li Jie also noticed that something was off. He did not know much about the Inner Core, but with Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level, if he consumed it directly, it would be a different story whether he could turn it into his own or not.

Ah!

Zhang Xiaofan bellowed. The veins on his forehead were bulging, making him look like he was in extreme pain.

He even felt as if his body was about to explode from this burst of energy. The Qi Gathering Pills he had taken previously didn't have such a large effect.

He couldn't casually take this inner core, but it was too late now. He could only think of a way to continue suppressing it, or else his body would explode and he would die.

"Big Brother Li!" Save me! I am unable to absorb the energy contained within this Orb.

Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly asked Li Jie for help. Now, he could only rely on Li Jie. He simply couldn't control himself.

Li Jie was stunned. What was he supposed to do? He wasn't very familiar with such things either.

No, I have to hurry and find Old Lord. Let's see if he has any other pills he can make up for it.

Thinking of this, Li Jie quickly picked up his phone and sent a message.

"Where's Old Lord? Hurry up and come out. I have a person who took the beast's core. He can't take it right now, so he might explode. What should we do now?"

Li Jie was also a bit flustered. If he really killed the male lead …

Em, I better not continue this train of thought …

Exalted Celestial Yuanshi: "Why did the owner of the group appear again? Didn't he go to do some quests? Why do you look for Old Lord Taishang every day, and look for me instead?

"Damn. Why do you like to cultivate so much? Who can save the guy who took the pellet? There is a reward for that."

Since Old Lord Taishang was not here, he could only find someone at random to rescue Zhang Xiaofan.

Exalted Celestial Yuanshi: "I don't think there's anyone else here. Let me make a difficult trip over."

Li Jie didn't expect that every time he mentioned there would be a reward, he would become even more enthusiastic.

Before he could say anything else, a black hole appeared behind Zhang Xiaofan. From the hole walked out an old man wearing a Daoist robe, looking kind and amiable.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan's body was in great pain. He closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the pain, but it was too late.

Li Jie didn't even need to think to know that this was definitely the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. No matter how he looked, he was no worse than Old Lord Taishang.

Are all deities like this?

Li Jie vaguely remembered that the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, Old Lord Taishang, and the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Lord had both become Three Purities. No wonder they were so familiar with each other.

Without a word, that Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged behind Zhang Xiaofan and began to take advantage of his luck.

He placed his hands on Zhang Xiaofan's back.

Ah!

Zhang Xiaofan frowned and cried out in pain.

The Yuanshi Tianzun was like a fierce tiger as he imbued his true energy into Zhang Xiaofan's body, helping him fuse the energy within his body.

Even Empyrean Yuanshi was able to sense that the energy waves contained within were no small matter.

When he had just stepped into the Dao to train, he had been eager for quick success and had wanted to improve by leaps and bounds.

But he didn't expect that the young man now was even more anxious than he was. Taking the beast's core, wasn't that just courting death?

It was one thing if it could be absorbed, but if it couldn't be digested, then it would cause his body to explode and die.

This was a desperate way to take the risk. Of course, everyone was happy to be able to increase their strength.

Li Jie also slowly noticed that Zhang Xiaofan's expression eased up slightly.

He knew that the attack from Empyrean Yuanshi had paid off.

As soon as he finished, he stood up and walked back into the whirlpool.

He didn't forget to give Li Jie a hand gesture as well. He too wanted to obtain the authority to enter the Nine Star World. His own cultivation had already stagnated for a few hundred years.

Zhang Xiaofan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had also felt the surge of true energy within his body. The originally powerful energy had also melted into his body bit by bit. Following that, he also felt that his strength had increased quite a bit.

"How is it? How is the fusion with the inner core?"

Li Jie also asked with concern. If he played the male lead to death, the world would become chaotic and that would be a huge sin.

Zhang Xiaofan exhaled a breath of air as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Thank you Big Brother Li for saving me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity."

Zhang Xiaofan stood up and bowed to Li Jie.

Because he thought that it was Li Jie who had saved him.

"What's the point? What's the point? Have you improved a bit?"

Li Jie waved his hand, pretending not to care. Of course, he couldn't tell Zhang Xiaofan that he was a master of the Taoist temple. If he was here to save him, then his image would collapse.

"It has indeed improved quite a bit, but I still can't relax."

Zhang Xiaofan knew that he was still far off from his senior brothers and sisters, so he couldn't let his guard down yet.

"That's great. You can continue to cultivate here. I still have something to do!"

Since Zhang Xiaofan had turned the inner core into his own, Li Jie was relieved. He had earned an extra year's worth of cultivation. Although it wasn't enough to cover his teeth, he still accepted it with a smile.

Li Jie still wanted to see what the so-called Divine Punisher Blade looked like. He wanted to see just how attractive this weapon, known as the number one holy object in the world, was.

Fortunately, Li Jie knew that the Divine Punisher Blade should be in the ancestral hall, but he couldn't rashly go there. He had to first step on it, otherwise, if he was discovered, the people of Qing Yun would think he was plotting something.

After exiting the Black Bamboo Forest, he once again came to the vicinity of the Skypiercing Peak.

Li Jie noticed the rainbow bridge. This was the only way to get to Tongtian peak and he hadn't been able to properly enjoy it before. Now that he thought about it, the scenery here was pretty good.

However, all he could do was think about it. This was basically impossible. He didn't know what kind of functions his system would unlock in the future.

Li Jie stood on top of the bridge and looked down at the icy pond. If he remembered correctly, this was what he should call it.

The dark surface of the water was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom.

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation appeared …
