54: Chapter 54 The Meridian Opening Realm!

Su Lin's eyes narrowed as he saw that the elk was covered in wounds.

It was clearly on the run; suddenly, the elk puffed out its cheeks and spat something out violently.

A cyan light shot directly from its mouth, flying into the air.

The many guards in black reacted instantly, leaping high into the air, hoping to catch the cyan light.

However, when they looked up, they were instantly shocked.

A grey-robed figure was several times faster than them; like a flash of lightning, he soared above everyone, and with one hand, he had already snatched the cyan light.

"How dare you steal my Thunder Talisman, you're courting death!"

Just as Su Lin obtained the item, he heard an angry roar from the forest that resounded throughout the area.

The young master of the Wang family immediately rushed out of the forest, pointed at Su Lin, and shouted loudly.

"Kill him immediately and get the Thunder Talisman back!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, several terrifying auras of the Meridian Opening Realm erupted, and sharp attacks slashed towards Su Lin in the air.

However, Su Lin's speed was extremely fast, and all the attacks merely struck his afterimage.

Su Lin returned to the ground and leaped into the nearby forest, while a dazzling and massive amount of lightning instantly gathered on his right hand.

In this fleeting moment, Su Lin unleashed his full power.

Mountain-Crushing Fist!

Su Lin turned around and threw a punch directly.

The punch sounded like a sudden peal of muffled thunder, deafening, with lightning dancing all over the sky.

Hundreds of large trees were instantly snapped in half, sweeping forward like a storm.

Wang Peng and the black-clad guards' pupils constricted; they had just intended to pursue him when they saw the storm-like attack rushing towards them.

They immediately surrounded Wang Peng, setting up a formation to block the wave of attacks.

Boom!

The area was instantly filled with thick smoke. After the smoke cleared, the crowd was left there in astonishment, along with the devastated scene.

The figure of The Grey-robed Person had long since vanished.

"Which god-forsaken bastard! How dare they steal my item!"

"Don't let me find him, I will definitely kill him!"

Veins bulged on Wang Peng's forehead as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

Since he was born, it seemed he had never suffered such humiliation.

It had always been him bullying others; when did it ever become someone else's turn to ride on his face?

"You bunch of useless trash! You can't even catch one person! You call yourselves Meridian Opening Realm experts, you're not even as good as the Qi and Blood Realm!"

"Just wait until we go back and see how my dad punishes you!"

Wang Peng pointed at these black-clad guards and berated them angrily.

The black-clad guards lowered their heads, letting him scold them, daring not to speak despite their anger.

...

A grey figure, like a meteor, was sprinting at high speed.

To be safe, Su Lin ran seven or eight kilometers in one breath.

After ensuring that no one was chasing him from behind.

He finally slowed down and stopped.

Su Lin found a rock to sit on and looked at the item in his hand.

In his palm was something resembling a piece of jade, and on the surface of the jade, a bolt of lightning kept changing direction, as if it were pointing him toward a certain location.

"Is this thing called a Thunder Talisman?"

He had just heard the young master of the Wang family call this thing that.

This item must be quite valuable; otherwise, the young master of the Wang family wouldn't have attached such importance to it.

Su Lin took out a cup of milk tea, opened it, and drank it. As the cold milk tea entered his mouth, the fatigue from the journey was significantly relieved.

"If this lightning represents a direction, I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden in that place."

Su Lin smiled lightly, took a couple more sips of milk tea, then stood up again. Looking at the Thunder Talisman in his hand, he ran directly in the direction it indicated.

...

After about an hour of traveling, Su Lin arrived at the top of a cliff.

The direction the Thunder Talisman was pointing was towards a cliff face. Su Lin flipped over the edge of the cliff and climbed onto the rock wall.

When Su Lin approached that spot, he saw the Thunder Talisman in his hand fly out and merge directly into the rock wall.

Suddenly, the rock wall opened up like a cave dwelling.

Su Lin jumped straight inside.

The cave dwelling was not large; it couldn't even hold ten people.

There was only one thing inside.

It was a small, cyan tree with tiny bolts of lightning spreading across it, and two large fruits were growing on its branches.

"A Spirit Fruit?"

Su Lin said in surprise.

As expected, the Thunder Talisman pointed to the location of a treasure.

This was the first time Su Lin had seen a Spirit Fruit.

This item had great benefits for a martial artist's body.

It could not only significantly increase Qixue, but also change a martial artist's constitution, allowing the martial artist to better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Without saying a word, Su Lin picked a Spirit Fruit and put it into his mouth.

After taking a big bite, a sweet taste filled Su Lin's mouth, and at the same time, the Qixue in his body began to surge.

[Qixue + 10]

[Qixue + 30]

[Qixue + 70]

...

A massive amount of thunder-attribute spiritual energy instantly surged into his body, and Su Lin activated the Lightning Refining Technique to completely refine this spiritual energy into Qixue.

Su Lin finished eating one Spirit Fruit, and at the same time, he immediately felt a breakthrough in his realm.

An aura of the Meridian Opening Realm immediately radiated from Su Lin's body.

One Spirit Fruit directly increased his Qixue by 350 points.

His Qixue had increased from 800 points to 1150 points.

His realm had advanced from the eighth level of the Qi and Blood Realm to the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Su Lin was excited and didn't hesitate to pick the second Spirit Fruit and eat it.

Su Lin did the same, refining the abundant spiritual energy into Qixue.

Before long, the Qixue on Su Lin's body surged once again.

Name: Su Lin

Qixue: 1500

"It actually increased by 700 points of Qixue."

Su Lin looked at his panel and clicked his tongue in wonder.

If he had relied solely on drinking milk tea, it would have taken 70 days to reach this amount of Qixue.

However, drinking milk tea increased Qixue without any difficulty or danger.

Whereas the scene where he just snatched the Thunder Talisman could be described as dangerous.

Everyone present, except for that young master of the Wang family, was in the Meridian Opening Realm.

Originally, Su Lin wanted to gamble on whether he could rely on his extremely fast speed and reflexes to snatch the Thunder Talisman and run, leaving those guards unable to react in time.

But he still underestimated those Meridian Opening Realm guards.

If not for the sudden burst of the Mountain-Crushing Fist and the fact that the environment had many trees to obscure their line of sight, it would have been very difficult for him to escape their encirclement.

The B-Grade Martial Technique Mountain-Crushing Fist, combined with his lightning power, caused astonishing destructive power, which even experts of the Meridian Opening Realm dared not underestimate.

This created the time Su Lin needed to escape.

"I didn't expect that I just broke through to the eighth level of the Qi and Blood Realm today, and now I'm already in the Meridian Opening Realm."

"Fortune is sought in danger."

"If I were to run into those guards again now, heh."

Su Lin gave a cold smile; with his current realm added to his ability to use lightning power.

Even those at the second or third level of the Meridian Opening Realm would be nothing to him.

At the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm, Su Lin felt he could take on ten of them!

Su Lin looked at the tree in front of him; he hadn't expected that after the fruit was picked, it would instantly wither.

Seeing how useful this Spirit Fruit was, Su Lin had been thinking about whether he could transplant this small tree back.

However, it seemed this thing was a one-time use item.

After Su Lin confirmed there was nothing else in the cave dwelling, he climbed back up the cliff.

Holding a cup of milk tea, he wandered around aimlessly.

He didn't expect that just ten minutes later, he would have a new discovery.

He saw a group of people gathered in the valley below.

Su Lin quickly lay down and began to observe.

He saw that the leader was a young man, and in the youth's arms was a little white cat that looked quite familiar.

"Isn't that the cat I searched for last time?"

Su Lin recognized that white cat at a glance.

It was the little cat from the Bai family that he had found during the mission he accepted last time.

"Is that person from the Bai family?"

Su Lin didn't care about the white cat; his eyes were focused on the item the Bai family youth was holding in his hand at that moment.

He saw that the youth also had something in his hand that resembled a piece of jade.

"A Thunder Talisman?"
