709: The peak of the third level of True Immortal Realm
"beast, you dare to act presumptuously in front of This Young Master."
The youth let out a cold shout, his right hand suddenly blasting out a black flame that instantly incinerated the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's massive tail into nothingness. At the same time, the blade Qi in his hand landed heavily on the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's massive head.
"Boom...!"
Following the descent of that terrifying blade Qi, the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's massive head was directly severed and sent flying, and its huge body crashed heavily in front of Yang Lingchen.
At the same time, just before the Sky-reaching Spirit Python hit the ground, the venom sprayed from its mouth instantly landed on the youth.
"Ah...!"
The moment the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's potent venom entered his body, the youth let out a painful scream. He quickly sat cross-legged and began to purge the toxins from within his body.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, are you alright?" Huang Ruoyu walked over slowly; she was also heavily injured.
"I am fine. Who is that kid?" Eastern Sword asked while purging the toxins from his body, looking towards Yang Lingchen.
"Just a Utility Disciple, don't worry about him." After saying this, Huang Ruoyu slowly walked towards the corpse of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python.
The Sky-reaching Spirit Python was a Profound Immortal Realm Yao Beast, and the inner core within its body was extremely precious, so she naturally wanted to take it back.
"Fuck, I'll risk it."
Yang Lingchen, who had been sitting cross-legged to heal, suddenly darted out, snatched the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse in front of him into the haotian jade space, and then plunged into the dense forest.
"Bastard, you are courting death."
Huang Ruoyu let out a sharp rebuke, a trace of icy killing intent flashing across her beautiful face. Her figure flashed, and she instantly pursued Yang Lingchen.
"What massive audacity."
Meanwhile, Eastern Sword, who had been purging the poison, had a flash of cold light in his eyes. His figure instantly transformed into a beam of white light, and he chased directly after Yang Lingchen.
He truly did not expect that the Utility Disciple before him would actually dare to scavenge under his nose.
Yang Lingchen was extremely excited at this moment. This was the corpse of a Profound Immortal Realm Yao Beast!
The reason he dared to snatch it from Huang Ruoyu was mainly because he saw that she had just fought a great battle and her body had suffered certain injuries, and coupled with the fact that Eastern Sword was poisoned, otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to snatch the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse in front of these two.
As for whether these two would retaliate against him? Yang Lingchen did not take it to heart, because Jade Maiden Peak was not to be trifled with. Anyone who dared to go to Jade Maiden Peak to seek revenge would definitely not have a good ending.
Of course, even if Jade Maiden Peak did not protect him, Yang Lingchen would still choose to snatch it, as the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse was simply too important to him.
Furthermore, once he refined the flesh and inner core of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python, his cultivation level would be significantly improved, and by then, the other party might not be able to threaten him.
Yang Lingchen was very fast, and he deliberately fled deep into the dense forest. Huang Ruoyu and Eastern Sword were both heavily injured or poisoned, so they could not keep up with his speed. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had completely shaken them off, leaving no trace.
"Stinky brat, don't let This Young Lady catch you, or I will definitely make you pay." Huang Ruoyu's pretty face flushed red with anger.
"Junior Sister Ruo Yu, don't be anxious. Since that kid is a Utility Disciple, he cannot escape. I will have you investigate him later, and I will definitely make him pay a heavy price for today's behavior."
Eastern Sword's handsome face revealed a trace of icy killing intent.
At this moment, he was completely filled with murderous intent. For so many years, he had never seen such a bold Utility Disciple who dared to scavenge from him.
After running for thousands of kilometers, Yang Lingchen quietly hid in a mountain cave.
"Damn, I really hit the jackpot this time." Looking at the massive corpse of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python, Yang Lingchen was overjoyed.
As a peerless divine doctor, the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse was, to him, a treasure from head to toe.
If an ordinary person obtained the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse, they could at most refine the inner core to increase their cultivation level; as for the flesh and blood of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python, it would not have much use in their hands.
But Yang Lingchen was different. He understood medical principles and knew how to utilize this flesh to increase his own cultivation level. Moreover, the Undying Golden Body Art could also refine this flesh, so the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's corpse was no less than a top-tier treasure to him.
Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged, activating the Undying Golden Body Art, pressing his palms together, and continuously refining the flesh of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python.
As the blood continuously entered his body, Yang Lingchen's limbs, bones, and the extraordinary meridians within his body were instantly nourished, and his body's resilience and senses were also significantly improved.
As the flesh and blood continuously surged into his body, the Immortal Essence Power within Yang Lingchen's body also began to soar crazily.
"Middle Stage of the Second Layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Late Stage of the Second Layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Peak of the Second Layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Boom... boom... boom...!"
"third layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Middle Stage of the third layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Late Stage of the third layer of True Immortal Realm."
"Peak of the third layer of True Immortal Realm."
By the time Yang Lingchen's cultivation level broke through to the Peak of the third layer of True Immortal Realm, the flesh of the Sky-reaching Spirit Python had finally been completely refined by him, with only the fist-sized inner core remaining.
This inner core was extremely precious and was also the most valuable thing the Sky-reaching Spirit Python possessed while alive, so Yang Lingchen did not plan to refine it immediately.
Now, his cultivation level had reached the Peak of the third layer of True Immortal Realm, only one step away from the Fourth Layer of True Immortal Realm.
If he used this inner core now, it would be fine if he could break through to the Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm, but if he could not break through to the Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm, it would be a waste.
After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen quietly left the mountain cave and took a detour before heading towards the Lanxian Sect.
Along the way, he was very careful. After all, he had offended Eastern Sword and Huang Ruoyu, and if he were caught by these two, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A day later, Yang Lingchen returned to the Lanxian Sect.
Mission Hall.
"Good kid, in just three days, you not only completed all the tasks but even broke through to the third layer of True Immortal Realm."
When Yang Lingchen arrived at the Mission Hall again, a look of surprise appeared in Mu Tianyu's eyes.
The young man before him was truly too shocking to him. In all these years, he had seen countless people, but he had never seen such a Prodigy Genius.
Mu Tianyu could tell that Yang Lingchen was still very young, not even fifty years old.
At such an age, reaching the True Immortal Realm was not easy, and being able to complete tasks that required the Sixth Layer of True Immortal Realm with the cultivation level of the Second Layer of True Immortal Realm, this kind of Heaven-Defying combat power was the existence of a top-tier Prodigy in any Sect.
"Senior, this Disciple was only able to complete the tasks by luck. As for the cultivation level improvement, that was because I happened to scavenge a mysterious fruit, which is why I broke through," Yang Lingchen said humbly.
"Alright, don't be humble. I know your talent and strength better than anyone."
Mu Tianyu laughed heartily and then took out a merit token and handed it to Yang Lingchen. "This merit token was arranged by me for you. It contains fifty thousand merit points, which is considered the reward for your task this time."
"Thank you, Senior."
He could feel that Mu Tianyu was genuinely kind to him, because his task this time only had forty thousand merit points, but the other party had given him fifty thousand.
"Cultivate well and strive to become an Outer Sect Disciple as soon as possible."
"This Junior will definitely not let you down."
Afterwards, he returned to Jade Maiden Peak and continued living his life as a Utility Disciple.
Qingyun Peak, in an elegantly landscaped small courtyard.
Eastern Sword was purging the last trace of residual poison in his body.
"Dong... dong... dong...!"
Just then, a crisp knocking sound rang out from outside the door.
"Come in."
"Senior Brother Dongfang, I found out. That guy's name is Yang Lingchen, and he is currently working as a Utility Disciple at Jade Maiden Peak," said a youth wearing the robes of an Outer Sect Disciple.
"What? Jade Maiden Peak?"
Hearing the words "Jade Maiden Peak," Eastern Sword frowned slightly.
If it were a Utility Disciple from another Peak, if he killed them, he would at most be reprimanded a couple of times.
But Jade Maiden Peak was different, because the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak was the Sect Master's own younger sister. This woman was extremely protective of her own, and even if a dog from Jade Maiden Peak were beaten to death, she would fly into a rage and pursue the matter to the end. Therefore, in the entire Lanxian Sect, Jade Maiden Peak was the most untouchable existence.
"That's right, this kid is a Utility Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, and he was personally recruited by Elder Xia Qingyue," the Outer Sect Disciple said.
"Daring to scavenge in front of This Young Master, let alone him being a Utility Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, even if he were an Inner Sect Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, This Young Master would still kill him."
Eastern Sword's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, if this kid doesn't come out, it won't be easy for us to make a move!" the Outer Sect Disciple said.
"Then find a way to make him unable to stay at Jade Maiden Peak. You should know how to handle this matter, right?"
"Senior Brother Dongfang, rest assured, Junior Brother will definitely handle this matter properly for you," the Outer Sect Disciple named Huo Jun replied respectfully.
