"Drink."

Weng! *

In a certain plain area, Ling Yunfan sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounding him with a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy surrounding him. After he suddenly opened his eyes, he immediately shouted loudly, and the dragon head phoenix shadow behind him instantly became even larger. At the same time, after the shadow entered his body, it released a strange suction force that instantly absorbed all of the heaven and earth spiritual energy into him.

As countless amounts of nature's spirit energy entered Ling Yun Fan's body, it was refined by a strong power and entered his dantian. As the dantian that had already turned into countless streams of air quickly fused together, it turned into a wind-like whirlpool and following the transformation of his dantian, his cultivation broke through to the first level of the Yuan Dan Stage.

"Phew, I've finally broken through to the Origin Gathering Stage. This feeling is really great!" Ling Yunfan who stood up, after stretching his body a little, looked at himself with a face full of joy and muttered to himself.

At this time, perhaps because he felt the joy from Ling Yunfan, the sky that was supposed to be cloudy suddenly turned bright and clear in an instant.

After using an entire night of time, he had finally leaped into the great realm of Lingyun. Naturally, he was happier than anyone else, but it was a pity that there was no one else here who could share this joy with him. Thus, he could only ride the horse he was waiting for and continue onwards towards the Golden-purple City.

"… …"

"What are you guys doing, don't come over!"

In a certain part of the forest, there was a young girl wearing a green dress with a ponytail. She was looking at the middle-aged man that surrounded her with a look of disgust.

"Little beauty, don't be afraid. I only want to invite you to come with me because I see that you are in danger. I am the third captain of the Xiao Yun Mercenaries, Xiao Tian. If you follow me, there will be no danger." Looking at the young girl's appearance, the man who had brought over ten people to surround her spoke with a kind voice.

Although his voice sounded like the voice of an honest man, his eyes revealed that he was about to eat someone. It was because of this that the young girl in front of him did not trust him, but because the young girl was only at the first level of the Spirit Gathering realm, and the self-proclaimed middle-aged man was at the second level of the Spirit Gathering realm, she was able to suppress this young girl.

"That's right, that's right! Our Third Company Leader is a righteous man. You don't have to be afraid of him. Hurry up and tell us where you want to go so that we can send you there."

"That's right, hurry up and tell us."

Immediately, the people around Xiao Tian also walked up to try and persuade her.

Seeing how these beast like men pretended to be good people to deceive her, the girl's anger began to rise to the extreme. However, due to the difference in cultivation levels, she could only take a step back and say, "Many thanks for the good intentions of the three Company Leaders, but this one will leave now. I will not trouble you any longer."

After finishing her sentence, the girl walked forward, intending to walk through the gaps between the encirclement of several people.

However, Xiao Tian had already become attached to the young girl in front of him. Naturally, he wouldn't let her leave so easily, so he immediately stopped her.

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Today you must leave with me, or else don't even think about leaving this place." Xiao Tian, who no longer wanted to drag it out, roared at the girl before grabbing onto it.

"Let go!"

After being suddenly caught like this, the young girl couldn't hold it in any longer. Her left hand gathered a large amount of spiritual energy within it as she attacked Xiao Tian.

Ta.

Although this attack was very fast, it was a pity that the gap between their cultivations was so great. Thus, it was easily blocked by the opponent.

"Pervert, why aren't you letting that girl go!" At this time, just as Lingyun, who was hiding on a tree not too far away and was about to attack, a sound that caused him to be stunned could be heard.

From the looks of it, behind the members of the Xiao Yun Mercenary Group stood a seventeen year old youth wearing a brown colored top and black pants. He held a white spear that was of the advanced level and had a head of tattered hair.

Seeing this person, whether it was Ling Yunfan or Xiao Tian, both of them could tell that this person's cultivation was at the second level of the Essence Gathering Realm.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, then scram to the side. Just because you don't have the qualifications to care about my matters, I am in a good mood today. I don't want to be angry, so you should sensibly move to the side." After knowing the newcomer's cultivation, not only did Xiao Tian not let go of the young girl, he even disdainfully warned the youth with the spear.

"How reckless!"

Seeing that the other party had not only ignored his words but humiliated him, the spear-wielding youth immediately brandished the spear in his hand and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy into his weapon. He then shot out several wind blades at Xiao Tian.

Puchi … Puchi …

"Ugh …" "Ahh …"

Suddenly, those who were only body refining eighth level experts were cut in half by the wind blades, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.

On the other side, the girl who had finally managed to escape from Xiao Tian's grasp immediately retreated a few steps back before she was able to avoid the spurts of blood.

"You have guts, kid. Do you dare to say your name? I won't kill a nameless person!"

Seeing that his own squad had been slaughtered by the spear-wielding youth in front of him, Xiao Tian flew into a rage as he spoke with a voice filled with killing intent.

"I don't change my name, nor do I change my surname. Ye Tian does too!" Hearing this, the spear-wielding youth replied in a somewhat mature voice.

"Die."

As soon as his words fell, the furious Xiao Tian immediately used his right hand to gather a large amount of Spiritual Energy to form a fist and attacked Ye Tianming in front of him.

"A High Rank Mortal Realm skill, looks like this Xiao Tian is quite capable." At this moment, Ling Yunfan, who was watching the fight from the tree, recognized the skill that Xiao Tian was using.

"Hmph, I, Ye Astronomical, have never been afraid of going head to head with others. Watch my Thunderbolt Shot!" Seeing this, Ye Wentian, who was holding the long spear, released his spirit energy into the spear. Using his spirit energy, he converted a bit of the power of thunder and lightning into another bit of spirit energy, before finally condensing it into the spear.

Bang!

"Ye Astronomical?" "Although I've never heard of this name before, its power is indeed extraordinary. It seems like its age is also around the same as mine." When their martial arts were about to attack each other, the girl who was watching the fight from the side was surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Ye Tian, while thinking in her heart.

Bang!

A loud clashing sound could be heard as the rock-like fist collided with the longspear that was entangled with lightning. The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate.

"Flame Fist!"

At that moment, a scorching sound could be heard as a flaming fist landed directly on Xiao Tian's face.

"Wuuwaa."

After being hit by this fist, Xiao Tian, who was at the second level of the Qi Condensation realm, was struck by the Flame Fist and Ye Tian's martial skill. He was heavily injured and was sent flying backward.

"Who are you? Why did you help me?" Looking at the skinny young man who suddenly showed up to help him, Ye Astronomical frowned and asked.

Hearing the question, Lingyun replied with a smile: "I am Lingyun, and am one of the candidates to take the inner sect disciple test."

"So this Yun Fan brother is the same as me? Is he preparing to go to the Golden-purple City?" Hearing Lingfan's answer, Ye Xingtian immediately withdrew his guard and asked excitedly.

"So Brother Astronomer is also going to participate in the inner sect disciple test? What a fortuitous encounter." Towards the fact that the other party was going with him to participate in the inner disciple test, Lingyun could not help but speak in a friendly tone.
