Chapter 45: General Mobilization

  Xiao Chen and Ye Liu Xing discussed it over and finally decided that this time's Ying Hao Bang competition must be won, the target being Jin Chi Dan.

  Xiao Chen sat on the bed, thinking to himself: "According to Qian Ming's words, the Golden Scarlet Pill can let a cultivator of the Condensed Spirit Mirror advance four or five minor realms, but my Stellar War Body needs a huge amount of energy to advance, so it seems that the Golden Scarlet Pill won't be able to directly help me advance to the Ninth Realm of the Condensed Spirit."

  "It seems that I still need to continue refining the Jingyuan Dan, it's better to be prepared."

  With a decision in his heart, Xiao Chen immediately took out the Jingyuan Dan and began to refine it. He was determined to advance to the seventh heaven of the Condensing God Realm before the Yinghao Ranking Competition started. At that time, he would surely sweep through all the outer sect disciples, let alone those who were at the same realm as him. Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of even the war body disciples, so what need was there to mention these ordinary disciples? To Xiao Chen, they weren't even worth considering.

  Dudu is still sleeping, and Xiao Chen has packed a lot of chicken legs and placed them beside Dudu. When Dudu wakes up and feels hungry, he can just eat those chicken legs, so as to avoid going out and causing trouble.

  "Seal yourself for three days and refine all of these Jingyuan Dan." Xiao Chen took out all the Jingyuan Dan from his storage ring, a total of thirty-five pellets.

  The method of stirring up the mischievous law, Xiao Chen stirred up the true energy, put the Jingyuan Dan in his mouth, and used the air to stir the dan, making a gurgling sound, immersing himself in the state of cultivation.

  Dudu fell asleep, Xiao Chen sank into a meditative state, and the room gradually became quiet and peaceful. However, at this moment, in the back house of the main hall in the front yard, it was completely different from here.

  "What on earth is this thing left behind?!"

  Yao Buping stood at this moment by the side of the hidden compartment where 'Guiyuan Dan' was previously hidden, his eyes gloomy, murderous intent revealed, and said in a cold and stern tone.

  The alcove was set up behind a pair of long scrolls in the main hall, and under the scrolls was a fragrant table with fruit, pastries and other items on it. In the morning, Yao Buping found that 'Guiyuan Dan' was gone, he was very excited and did not investigate the scene, but directly called the teachers to search for it.

  Yao Buping gradually calmed down and then thought of investigating the scene.

  A jade token in Yao Bu Ping's hand emitted a faint, cool glow. Under the reflection of this cool light, two rows of small footprints could be seen on the surface of the table.

  This jade token is a magical artifact with no attack power, but it contains a restrictive spell of "return to the origin", and it's best at tracking.

  Under the cold and bright light, Yao Bu Ping suddenly found that each small footprint was about the size of a peach blossom, and this footprint extended all the way to the hidden compartment where the 'Guiyuan Dan' was located.

  It's obvious that anyone who isn't an idiot would think that the one who stole the 'Huan Yuan Dan' is definitely not human.

  "Could it be a big rat?!" Yao Bu Ping thought to himself as he looked at the footprint, but he quickly denied it. A big rat would only steal food and the like, but the desserts on the table hadn't been touched, not even the fruit. Moreover, there were no other small footprints anywhere else, just two neat rows leading straight to the hidden compartment where the 'Guiyuan Dan' was kept.

  This just goes to show that the guy who stole the 'Guiyuan Dan' was directly after it, and not some accidental doing of a mouse.

  "How detestable! You actually dare to steal my 'Guiyuan Dan', no matter what kind of demon or monster you are, I will definitely make you show up." Yao Buping thought viciously in his heart, then turned around and left the house, it's unknown where he went.

  On the second day, a list swept through the entire Fei Yun Bie Yuan like a storm, and the message on the list was even more shocking.

  "A small dog raised by the head of the temple has gone missing. An announcement is hereby issued. Whoever provides information will be rewarded with a magic sword. Whoever captures the dog and returns it to the head of the temple will also be rewarded with a magic sword and ten pills of refined essence."

  As soon as this list came out, it immediately shocked all the disciples of Fei Yun Bie Yuan. What kind of dog is worth such a huge sum of money?

  The Fa Xian is a configuration that only inner door disciples have, and the Fei Yun Bie Yuan disciples rarely even get to see it. The Jing Yuan Dan is also precious, capable of increasing true energy and breaking through boundaries. Ten Jing Yuan Dans can even allow a cultivator in the Condensing Spirit realm to break through a small heavy sky.

  Such a reward is simply too great for the disciples of Fei Yun Bie Yuan, and can be called a huge reward. Also because of this, the disciples were shocked, what kind of dog would be worth such a high price, could it be the heavenly dog?!

  They naturally did not know that Yao Buping was just using the name of finding a dog, but catching thieves and stealing poison was true.

  Yesterday, Yao Bu Ping flipped through a large number of books and only then did he realize that the small footprint like a peach blossom was left by the young of the Lí Huǒ Dú Jiǎo Shòu (Fire-avoiding Unicorn), and the young of the Fire-avoiding Unicorn looked exactly like a puppy, so he came up with this plan, killing two birds with one stone, not only can catch the thief who stole the elixir, but also get the young of the Fire-avoiding Unicorn, a surefire way to profit.

  It can be imagined that Yao Bu Ping also went to great pains!

  But all of this, Xiao Chen, who was in closed cultivation, was completely unaware. He was still immersed in his cultivation state. Fortunately, Xiaodoudou's chicken legs had not been finished yet and he had not gone out to wander around. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would have been in great danger in an instant.

  Now in the Fei Yun Bie Yuan, all the disciples who have seen that list are actively searching for the little dog. But how could the Yunchuan Sword Sect raise a little dog! The Yunchuan Sword Sect actually raises many Soul-Eating Beasts and other demonic beasts.

  While other disciples were worried about not having enough time for their cultivation, they naturally wouldn't have the leisure to raise dogs and play with them.

  It's even harder for the prestigious Yunjian Sword Sect to find a small dog than to find a magic sword, and many disciples are busy running around, not even seeing a shadow of a dog.

  Xiao Chen had also taken DouDou out before, and many disciples had seen him. However, Xiao Chen didn't stay in FeiYun BieYuan for long, so those disciples didn't recognize him, they only had an impression. At that time, they couldn't find Xiao Chen either, and everyone wanted to take credit, who would tell others?

  On the same day, Xiao Chen's law enforcement disciples also saw Doudou, but they were law enforcement disciples under Tian Xing Tang and would not come to Fei Yun Bie Yuan when they were not on duty, so they didn't know anything about this list.

  Tsai Ching may know, but how can Tsai Ching help Yao Buping? Tsai Ching would rather see Yao Buping die as soon as possible.

  Qian Ming also saw the list, and on that day after seeing Dudu, he even went back to check it out, knowing that Dudu was a young unicorn of the Lihuo.

  Therefore, Qian Ming is the only one who knows who stole the 'Guiyuan Dan', and he is also the only one who knows what the head of the courtyard has in mind, and he is also the only one who knows Doudou's identity.

  However, Qian Ming is not a brainless person. What he sees is not the small benefits on that list, but greater benefits.

  "It's really heaven helping me, I'm going to plan carefully, the Fire Unicorn, the Yuan Dan, and the rewards on the list, I'll get them all." Qian Ming thought to himself after reading the list, his mouth involuntarily curled up, his eyes gleaming with unknown evil intentions.

  Those who knew didn't say, those who didn't know couldn't find it. As a result, the list was sent out for two days, but not a single person could be found, which made Yao Buping so angry that his beard flew up, and he severely scolded Cai Qing and others in the great hall.

  Tomorrow is the day of the new election for the head of the academy, as well as the day of the British Chart Grand Prix. The principal, instructors and others will also participate in the competition for the principal position. Tonight, they still have to arrange for disciples to maintain order, with many things to attend to.

  Moreover, Yao Buping also received a notice that the high-level officials of the sect would come to inspect the Yinghao List competition tomorrow for no reason, which made him dare not to slack off, lest he displease the high-level officials. Yao Buping didn't have time to look for any little dogs or cats anymore, and was already worried sick.

  Cai Qing, who was scolded, and others secretly laughed in their hearts. Especially Cai Qing, he had 60% confidence that he knew who took the 'Guiyuan Dan', but he just didn't say it, instead watching Yao Buping being humiliated, feeling pleased in his heart.

  ……

  ……

  The quiet house was covered in darkness as night fell.

  Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, having cultivated for two days and two nights. The Jingyuan Dan had all been refined into true energy, and at this moment, the true energy in Xiao Chen's dantian was surging and rolling like waves of smoke.

  At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, as if the dark room had suddenly lit up.

  "Concentrate on the Seventh Heaven!"

  Xiao Chen said that after two consecutive days of impact, Xiao Chen finally entered the Seventh Heaven of Concentration, and successfully created the seventh vortex in his dantian.

  Tomorrow is the Yinghao Ranking Competition, and this breakthrough at this moment is absolutely good news for Xiao Chen. Although he is a Starry Sky Warrior with thick power, majestic true energy, and long-lasting physical strength, who would complain about their cultivation being high?

  The higher the cultivation, the greater the grasp, and the position will also be higher.

  "Finally entered the Seventh Heaven of Concentration, my current strength has fully burst forth to 10,000 jin, capable of lifting a large elephant. My true energy is thick and boundless like a long river, surging ceaselessly, even if I were to engage in a fierce battle for a day and night, I wouldn't exhaust my true energy and lose strength. Seven vortexes rotating simultaneously, the explosive force is so powerful, it's likely capable of piercing through steel plates!"

  Xiao Chen felt his strength growing more and more powerful, he was very excited. With the power of Qigong Seven Heavens, he had already surpassed ordinary warriors' Qigong Nine Heavens. Even if it were a martial arts disciple from Qingyun Bieyuan, Xiao Chen felt that one punch could kill them.

  Ten thousand kilograms of strength! Lifting a large elephant is what kind of power, even the warriors of Ling Jue Mirror only have 15,000 kilograms of strength. If Xiao Chen enters the Ninth Heaven of Concentration, crosses the chasm between two major realms, and challenges Ling Jue Mirror, it's not impossible.

  The Starlight Body may cultivate slowly and require an astonishing amount of energy, but the power it unleashes is also terrifying. With a focused mind and seven layers of heaven, its strength can reach 10,000 jin, making it even more fearsome than other martial body disciples.

  And this is only the beginning, the later stage of Stellar War Body is even more terrifying. Xiao Chen seems to be able to foresee that in the ancient and primordial eras, the Stellar War Body warriors stirred up the starry skies, a scene of divine power covering the world...

  After the excitement, Xiao Chen calmed down again, looked down and saw that Xiaodui was sleeping soundly. What surprised Xiao Chen was that there were not fewer chicken legs beside Xiaodui, but more.

  It turned out that Xiao Chen had guessed it, and the little dumpling he had been cultivating for two days must have gone to the cafeteria to steal chicken legs, and even 'packed' more than 20 of them.

  "You little glutton, it's a good thing you went to steal chicken legs. If you had gone to steal another 'Guiyuan Dan', this Feiyun Bieyuan would have been turned upside down!" Xiao Chen said, stroking Xiaodoudou's big head.

  Xiao Chen didn't know that outside his closed door, a storm had already erupted, it's just that due to various reasons, the trouble hadn't found its way to his head yet.

  "Tomorrow is the Yinghao Ranking Competition, it's still early now, just in time to use Starlight Refining Soul to nourish and sharpen ourselves, waiting for tomorrow's big battle."

  Xiao Chen looked up at the sky, where the stars were already shining brightly and the half-moon was hanging high. He then began to circulate the "Nine-Nine Refining Soul Technique", entering a state of cultivation to temper his soul, making it clear and bright, preparing for the battle tomorrow.

  The starlight was cold and clear as water, captured by Xiao Chen, entering and exiting through the seven orifices, like a cloud of smoke, rolling and flowing, tempering Xiao Chen's spirit, making his spirit even stronger.

  Xiao Chen's divine soul power surged out, and it could interfere with the will of ordinary people. A single glance would make an ordinary person feel fear from the bottom of their heart.

  In the blink of an eye, a night had passed and the second day's bell rang out, as all the disciples began to gather at the training grounds.

  Xiao Chen also opened his eyes, with a glint of light in them.

  "Dudu, I'm going to participate in the big competition, you stay in the house and don't run around randomly. Now outside, your momentum is strong, absolutely don't go out again and get me into trouble, otherwise both of us will be finished." Xiao Chen said to Dudu.

  "Dong dong......" Dongdong heard this, his little ears shook, seemingly knowing he had gotten into trouble. He immediately hid under the quilt and fell fast asleep, not hearing anything outside the window.
