With three moves of "Soft Hands," Xu Feng once again emptied the Fifth-Grade Spirit Storage Pill from his ring, consuming an entire bottle of Fifth-Level Concentration Pill and a bottle of Great Recovery Pill that he had just purchased, along with two Sixth-Level Strengthening Pills.
Calculating the cost, this elevation of his Water Element Technique actually cost nearly five hundred thousand spirit stones! It was painful, truly painful. Although Xu Feng was wealthy, he still felt heartache; those were hard-earned spirit stones. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to sell the medicinal materials in his ring; he could not continue to consume without replenishing.
The Fifth-Rank Pill was consumed in handfuls, like eating peanuts—who could afford that? If Guo Manman, that rich second-generation heir, knew how Xu Feng was consuming them, she might be too scared to even take out her storage bag.
The only thing Xu Feng gained was time. He elevated his realm overnight; such speed could only be seen in Xu Feng and was difficult for others to replicate. Not only did he have to bear the fifty thousand cost of the spirit medicine, but he also needed the Spirit Control Technique—a reverse cultivation method—to transform his Spiritual Root into a Single Spiritual Root. Additionally, he required a strong body forged by Five Elements Power to withstand the powerful medicinal impact in a short time and prevent exploding from the pressure.
To possess these three conditions simultaneously would be hard to find another person among the Modern Clerks of Liuxiang Kingdom.
With the foundation laid by the Five Elements Technique, Xu Feng's elevation this time felt more substantial than before; it was not as ethereal but rather a genuine transformation of medicinal power into his own spiritual energy. This was the benefit of Five Elements Cultivation—mutual growth and balance.
Hearing Xu Feng's movements, everyone in the building rushed over and sighed in relief upon seeing him safe and sound.
Half-Dead Bao noticed Xu Feng's energetic demeanor and full spiritual energy, knowing that Xu Feng must have gained something significant, even if he had not broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Kid, we are lucky," Half-Dead Bao laughed. "I’m going to draw a good lot for you; it’s great that I drew the only top-tier lot." The others around him were also visibly excited, waiting for Half-Dead Bao to reveal the result of his draw, even though this was already his eighth performance...
"Do you know who I drew for you?" Before Xu Feng could respond, Half-Dead Bao said proudly, "Qi Renfu! I drew Qi Renfu from Guiyi Sect!"
It was him? Xu Feng immediately understood why Half-Dead Bao was so happy. Qi Renfu was the last contestant from yesterday who had put up a fierce fight against Wang Zhenglong from Guo Shan Sword Sect, ultimately winning by sacrificing an arm for a leg in a two-loss scenario.
At this moment, it was impossible for Qi Renfu to fully recover from the physical damage caused by his spiritual energy consumption; today's battle would undoubtedly be affected. If he could exert seventy percent of his strength from yesterday, it would be considered a blessing from his ancestors.
This was undoubtedly an excellent draw! The Loose Cultivator Alliance advancing to the Final Four was already set in stone.
"All thanks to our leader's good luck," Xu Feng had to admit that if everything went smoothly this time, Half-Dead Bao's good fortune played a decisive role.
"Not much time left; the competition is about to start. Everyone hurry up!" Half-Dead Bao led the way downstairs first. The others quickly followed suit. Before long, the Loose Cultivator Alliance boarded a strange fish and headed toward Huiwu Island.
Around the Meeting Platform, all factions had gathered and were just waiting for the time to commence the quarterfinals.
Half-Dead Bao sat confidently in the main viewing platform while Hua Guinian waved lightly; the competition began.
Today there were only four matches. To enhance the atmosphere, the Meeting Platform had been changed into one venue with two matches each in the morning and afternoon. Xu Feng was scheduled for the second match in the morning.
"First match, Guo Shan Sword Sect's Jin Dalai versus Wan Jian Sect's Gao Jingsong."
Both participants were the last remaining competitors from their respective sects. The leaders of both sects had informed them of their opponents in advance, and a night of preparation was sufficient for cultivators to devise appropriate strategies.
As they approached the arena, neither had particularly outstanding techniques; each victory required considerable time and effort. In the rankings for the championship, they were placed at the bottom two, with Jin Dalai in seventh and Gao Jingsong in eighth.
The matchups were determined by a draw conducted by the sect leaders, but the order of appearance was arranged by the host, Wuhua Island. The two matches in the morning seemed like mere preliminaries; the main attraction of the day was the afternoon showdown between New Moon Sect and Wuhua Island.
Both competitors sensed the lack of enthusiasm from the audience. Aside from a few cheers from their own sects, most spectators watched with the same detached interest as one would have at a cockfight or dogfight.
"Please," Gao Jingsong spoke first and made his move. His long sword, fueled by spiritual energy, shot out beams of light, creating an impressive display reminiscent of a thousand swords converging.
Unlike New Moon Sect and Wuhua Island, which had their unique secret techniques, Wan Jian Sect's disciples at the Refining Qi Stage employed the Spirit Serpent Sword Technique. After reaching Foundation Establishment, there was no unified cultivation method; it varied from person to person. Although it was called a sword sect, many within used knives and spears.
Xu Feng observed Gao Jingsong's swordsmanship closely. With his Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and a Medium-Grade Spirit Sword, his sword skills were fierce but slightly inferior to Yi Jiuzhou's from yesterday.
Wan Jian Sect was the first to pursue Xu Feng, and even now Xu Feng owed several lives to them. However, with Xu Feng's current strength, as long as Wan Jian Sect's Golden Core Cultivator did not intervene, no one could harm him.
From an external perspective, Jin Dalai had a slight advantage. Guo Shan Sword Sect possessed unique internal cultivation skills; their spiritual energy strength ranked above average among the Seven Sects. The ancestor of Guo Shan Sword Sect had once single-handedly defeated eighteen bandit strongholds in one night, slaying hundreds of Golden Core experts to establish Guo Shan Sword Sect. This demonstrated their formidable physical prowess. Successors built upon this foundation to create an advanced footwork technique that significantly enhanced Guo Shan Sword Sect's strength, making it one of the Six Major Sects.
After half an hour of fierce combat, Gao Jingsong ultimately failed to create an upset. In terms of swordsmanship, spiritual energy, and footwork, he found himself at a disadvantage and was narrowly defeated by Jin Dalai.
Guo Shan Sword Sect successfully advanced to the Final Four.
"Second match, Loose Cultivator Alliance's Yan Da versus Guiyi Sect's Qi Renfu."
Xu Feng looked at Qi Renfu, this impressive figure who had stood behind Arched Eyebrows when he provoked Xu Feng earlier. Like many other Guiyi Sect disciples, he sought to regain face against the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Unfortunately, only Qin Hanwen managed to win a match before being thoroughly beaten by Ma Buyi. Qi Renfu was eager for an opportunity to showcase his abilities against Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Now that opportunity had arrived, but it seemed difficult to grasp; he was a peculiar dual cultivator of Fire and Earth.
"Are you not going to surrender?" Xu Feng asked, nearly infuriating Qi Renfu who had been daydreaming. "You’re already injured; wouldn’t it be better to take a sick leave and enjoy your life instead?"
"You," Qi Renfu fumed. "You little thief! I'll show you..."
"What's there to see?" Xu Feng said lazily. "Your hand is already broken, so you might as well take a good look at your legs while they're still intact."
This was the most discordant opening remark of the competition so far, causing the two factions in the audience to glare at each other. The other factions remained indifferent; these two had a history of conflict, which was no longer news.
"Are you done? If you're done, let's get started," the referee said impartially. He had seen plenty of such verbal sparring before.
Qi Renfu could no longer hold back and rushed forward with his sword drawn. His left arm had been injured down to the bone and wasn't fully healed yet, so he couldn't exert too much force while swinging his sword.
Xu Feng employed the same tactic again, unleashing the dual swords of Fire and Earth. The sword energy that had defeated Yi Jiuzhou flew out once more.
Bang! Bang! Qi Renfu blocked two strikes but was forced back eight steps. His arms felt unbearably hot; he didn't possess the same overwhelming sword power as Yi Jiuzhou.
Seizing the momentum, Xu Feng unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, sending dozens of sword energies crashing down. With his left arm injured and only wearing a low-grade Spirit Armor for protection, Qi Renfu stood no chance against Xu Feng's aggressive style. After barely managing to block a dozen strikes, he was knocked off the stage.
In this battle, based on both sides' performances in the previous round, Xu Feng won decisively with absolute superiority. The arrogant Guiyi Sect was eliminated in the top eight, while the Loose Cultivator Alliance made history by advancing to the Final Four of the Immortal Path Conference.
