Ren Pingsheng, having obtained the Yin Soul Fruit, pushed his Movement Technique to the extreme. With one step, he covered a distance of twenty zhang, and with another step, another twenty zhang, leaving only a blurred figure flickering in the air.
Seeing that the exit of Wanzang Valley was not far ahead, and having completed the Experience and obtained the Elixir, he naturally did not plan to stay here any longer. Leaving immediately was the wisest choice. Who knew if that white-haired zombie would chase after him? He certainly did not think he would be a match for the white-haired zombie.
With one step, he was outside Wanzang Valley. Looking at the long-lost blue sky and feeling the warmth of the long-lost sunlight, Ren Pingsheng let out a deep breath.
"Kid, did you obtain the Elixir?" Suddenly, four or five people surrounded him, clearly intending to rob him. These people chose not to venture into Wanzang Valley but had come up with such a good idea instead.
"Hehe, with my cultivation level, do you brothers really think I have the ability to obtain the Elixir? There are quite a few experts inside who are above the Refining Qi Tenth Layer," Ren Pingsheng said with a friendly smile.
"Hehe, maybe you got lucky! You should know that there was only one Perfected Qi Refinement expert who also got seriously injured and managed to escape. Even if you obtained the Elixir, it wouldn't be surprising."
"You brothers are really joking. I was being chased by several Black-Haired Zombies and just barely escaped; I didn't even see what the Elixir looked like."
"Hmph, take out your things so we can check them. If there's nothing, we'll naturally let you go." Seeing their playful smiles, it was clear they had no intention of giving up.
"Big brother, there are only some food and miscellaneous items in the package; there’s no Elixir." One person took a look at Ren Pingsheng's package and immediately said with disappointment.
"This is really unlucky. Kid, leave your sword behind and get lost!" The leader of the five also looked disappointed but was unwilling to leave empty-handed and set his sights on Ren Pingsheng's sword.
"Oh, are you sure you want my sword?" Ren Pingsheng asked calmly.
He originally did not want to cause trouble; after all, the Elixir was in his Spatial Bracelet, so he wasn't afraid of others checking. The main concern was that there were few people around here; if he didn't allow them to check and simply ran away, it might attract unwanted attention. Being targeted by so many people was not something he wanted to see.
However, these five clearly were not willing to let him go easily. A sword might not mean much to an ordinary martial artist, but for a Swordsman, it was a partner in battle—one could say it was like a second life.
"Stop wasting words; leave your sword and get lost quickly, or you won't be able to leave."
"Ha ha, what a group of ignorant fools. I didn't want to hold it against you, but it's a pity about the five lives," Ren Pingsheng sighed lightly.
"What did you say? You really don't know the heights of heaven and depths of the earth. You..." Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he felt a flash of sword light pass by, and with a gurgle in his throat, he fell to the ground with a puzzled expression on his face, still wearing the fierce look from before.
Not just him, but the other four were the same. Even the leader at the Tenth Layer of Refining Qi didn't have time to react.
Ren Pingsheng's sword was quick; with one stroke, it transformed into five stars, simultaneously slicing through the throats of all five. This was his gain from his time in Wanzang Valley. The Seven Star Sword Technique allowed him to instantly merge five swords into one, enhancing the power of his Sword Technique, or to instantly strike out five swords to attack multiple targets.
"What a pity!" Ren Pingsheng sheathed his sword, glanced at the five who had lost their breath, and with an indifferent expression picked up the package on the ground and walked out.
The people nearby saw this and quickly distanced themselves, their expressions filled with fear. Some even showed signs of terror. They looked at this young man in a blue robe with an Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement cultivation level with trepidation and dread.
Killing five people with one sword—one at the Tenth Layer of Refining Qi, two at the Ninth Layer, and two at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement—was something even a Perfected Qi Refinement warrior might not achieve.
At least two individuals at the Eleventh Level of Refining Qi present felt they couldn't do it. So when they saw Ren Pingsheng didn't obtain the Elixir, they were unwilling to stir up trouble.
Such a person, once grown, would not only be a Warrior Strongman but could also become a Martial Master. Without any conflicting interests, who would want to offend someone who might achieve great success in the future?
Ren Pingsheng smiled faintly at the awe in the eyes of those around him. He did not linger any longer and disappeared within a few breaths. As for where he went, no one knew.
About half a moment later, a figure rushed out from the entrance.
"Have you seen a young man at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement wearing a blue robe?" This was the first question he asked as soon as he came out.
"I did see him, but he left some time ago," someone replied.
"What? Which direction did he go? He has a Yin Soul Fruit on him; how could you let him leave?" The person who had rushed out exclaimed angrily.
"Ha ha, I think you must have seen it wrong. That person didn't have any elixirs on him; someone checked earlier," someone said dismissively.
"How is that possible? I saw him pick an Underworld Fruit with my own eyes. Did someone steal it midway, or was there some other situation? By the way, where are the people who checked?"
"Where? Not far from here. Unfortunately, they are already dead."
"What? Five people were killed at the same time." Upon seeing the wounds and expressions of the five, even a master at the Eleventh Layer of Qi Refinement couldn't help but blink.
"That's right, it was that person you mentioned who did it. It's also strange that these five idiots didn't know better and tried to steal his sword. That kid is clearly a swordsman; what's the difference between that and stealing someone's wife? But that kid is terrifying; he only drew his sword once, and those five didn't even have a chance to react before losing their lives. Are swordsmen really such terrifying beings?"
Some recalled the scene just now, still looking pale with lingering fear. The impact of that encounter was clearly not something that could be easily shaken off.
"Is that kid really that terrifying? But if that's the case, then his Underworld Fruit definitely wouldn't be stolen. He must have hidden it somewhere else." The martial artist who had chased after them was surprised for a moment, then quickly reached the correct conclusion.
"But if this guy is so powerful, even if I catch up to him, I might not be able to get it. Moreover, I don't even know which direction he left in; it seems I can only give up."
"Heh heh, as soon as you come out, you're asking all sorts of questions. Looking at your cultivation level, you might actually have a chance to obtain an elixir. I wonder if you could let us check?" When someone said this, many people's hearts stirred. This situation really could happen.
After all, they had all seen with their own eyes that Ren Pingsheng didn't have any elixirs on him. This person came out and said the elixir was with that kid who left; could it be to confuse them and successfully hide the fact that the elixir was on him? The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and their gazes inevitably changed. The atmosphere became somewhat strange.
"Ahem... Although my cultivation is decent, the elixir did not fall into my hands. If you want to check, I wouldn't mind." The martial artist who had chased after them sensed something was off but wisely chose to compromise. With so many people around, he had no ability to escape unscathed. Besides, with his cultivation level, no one dared to target him.
While these people were still doubting the ownership of the elixir and continuously checking Ren Pingsheng's whereabouts, he had already traveled hundreds of miles away from there.
Riding on the Black Demon Horse, Ren Pingsheng wore a contented expression. This trip to the Ten Thousand Burials Valley had been quite fruitful. Not only did he gain experience but he also obtained elixirs and high-level Movement Technique manuals, along with the Azure Emperor's Breath Control Technique—an extraordinary auxiliary skill without a grade.
"The next thing to do is to cultivate the high-level Movement Technique and Azure Emperor's Breath Control Technique. Also, I need to break through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement as soon as possible. My cultivation level is still a bit too low!" This was Ren Pingsheng's conclusion from this experience.
To venture into various perilous places, one must at least possess the cultivation level of the Tenth Layer of Qi Refinement. Only by becoming an Elite Disciple can one ensure their own safety as much as possible. Otherwise, the chances of falling are high.
In this competition for the spiritual medicine, a significant number of martial artists lost their lives. Those who survived or had a chance to escape were basically all above the Tenth Layer of cultivation. Of course, exceptions like Ren Pingsheng are another matter entirely. However, such individuals are few and far between.
"That Wu Zhi Dao from Yun Xing Sect probably also obtained the spiritual medicine and escaped! Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in the future." For some reason, this was Ren Pingsheng's intuition; there was no basis for it, yet he believed it wholeheartedly.
Yunxi City is a city located at the border between the Canglan Sword Sect and Yun Xing Sect. This city is quite famous for its abundant production of fine wines and delicious food, attracting martial artists from nearby and even distant places. Its prosperity is comparable to that of Canglan City.
As for the ownership of this city, there was much debate initially, with neither sect willing to give up. They even held competitions over it. However, after much contention, neither side could claim victory, and no final resolution was reached.
In the end, both sects agreed to transform this city into a neutral territory. Not only could both sects operate freely here, but scattered cultivators could also live and trade without restrictions. This has contributed to the current prosperity of Yunxi City, with its fine wines and delicious food gaining widespread acclaim.
It is said that martial artists enjoy drinking, and this statement is undoubtedly true. Just look at the martial artists sitting in the taverns of Yunxi City; every table has several jars of wine.
Ren Pingsheng sat by the window, observing the bustling crowd outside while sipping on the fine wine served to him. His expression relaxed, and he felt completely at ease. He usually spent his time in cultivation, so this rare opportunity to unwind felt wonderful.
When asked why he came here, it was naturally for the so-called fine wines. He specifically came to select fine wines for the elder in charge of the library.
"Although this wine tastes good, it is still not suitable. I wonder how the famous Yunxi Wine in Yunxi City tastes. Is it truly as legendary as they say, worthy of being called a divine brew?" Ren Pingsheng shook his head, hoping that the last wine he would try would be the most renowned Yunxi Wine.
However, this wine is only available on specific days; that's why he came to this tavern today—to await the unveiling of Yunxi Wine. The other martial artists in the tavern shared his sentiments; they traveled great distances just to taste the exquisite flavor of Yunxi Wine.
