The other three Golden Dan period cultivators were taken aback, and they also reacted quickly. This time the demonic invasion concerned the rise and fall of their sect, and as middle-ranking pillars of their sect, they naturally wouldn't be indifferent. However, when it came to their own interests, they had to think carefully about it.

  "My foolish brother has invited all of you, my younger martial brothers, precisely to discuss this matter. Which one of the four of you should take on this heavy responsibility?" Han Shi Dao Ren also understood that this was what these Golden Elixir Cultivators were most concerned about, and so he kicked the ball back again.

  Four people were all silent, obviously this was a bitter errand, each person didn't want to go, who would let others go? These Golden Elixir cultivators had lived for hundreds of years and were old foxes, who would do such unpopular things.

  Han Shi Dao Ren looked around at the expressions of the four people seated, and naturally knew what they were thinking in their hearts, but didn't reveal it.

  After a while, the room was still silent. Han Shi Dao Ren lightly sighed and broke the awkwardness: "As the leader of this sect, I have to take charge of all matters, big or small, and can't get away from it."

  The four people below still didn't speak, but in their hearts they all sneered: "You old fox, you just want us to take on this thankless task."

  Han Shi Dao Ren continued, "This matter is also a big headache for my brother. He went to the Huayang Ancestor's cave mansion to discuss it with him. The old man decided that the two Jindan cultivators who led the sect disciples to participate in the Allied Army would each be given a 'Condensed Infant Pill' as a reward for their contributions to the sect before they set out. If not, you can ask your fellow disciples to take a look at the few fellow disciples who are secretly cultivating on various peaks and see if they are willing to make this trip."

  "Condensing Infant Pill!"

  The four people below all had a thought in their minds, and even with their hundreds of years of cultivation, they couldn't help but have their eyes light up. This Cong Yin Dan can increase the chances of successfully forming a Yuan Ying by 10% when breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Yuan Ying stage!

  A one percent chance, doesn't sound like much, but in reality, when condensing the yuan infant, having a 30-40% grasp is already extremely high! This Infant Pill can increase that chance by another one percent! It's clear how heaven-defying it is!

  The most important thing is that the medicinal materials for refining the Congying Dan are all rare and precious treasures in the world. It's difficult for a Jindan stage cultivator to find these medicinal materials, it's like trying to reach the sky! Only those old monsters in the Yuanying stage can take them out. This matter also has some irony, the Jindan stage cultivators who really need it can't get it, while the Yuanying stage cultivators don't need it but can get it. However, this also shows how precious and rare the Congying Dan is!

  The four of them began to ponder in their hearts, this time the demonic invasion, judging from the actions of the Seven Sects Alliance, it's likely not just a false alarm. Once both sides engage in battle, even Golden Dan stage cultivators will be at risk of falling. But obtaining the Congying Dan can increase the chances of successfully condensing the Yuan Ying by 10%, which is a risk and benefit that coexist.

  "Master, this time the demonic invasion concerns the rise and fall of our sect. I don't dare to be selfish, I'm willing to lead the disciples to participate in the allied army." The speaker was Murong Lie. He had been stuck in the Golden Elixir stage for many years, and his remaining lifespan was not long. If he couldn't break through to the Yuan Ying stage again, he would likely end up with a tragic fate of death and disappearance into the earth.

  A pill of condensed infant, worth his all-out effort!

  "Good! Brother Murong is willing to take on this heavy responsibility, I, on behalf of our sect, pay respects to you." Hanshi Dao Ren smiled and stood up, bowing his hands to Murong Lie.

  "Master Palm, I'd also like to follow Murong Master and go with him, to lend a helping hand." This time it was Lin Yu who spoke.

  Lin Yu looked like a young man, but in fact he was already over two hundred years old, and younger than several people including Han Shi Daoist. However, in terms of cultivation, the others privately thought that Lin Yu might be even higher than them.

  He was different from Murong Lie, with his own ambition and determination to go further on the path of cultivation.

  "Good! Good! Lin Shidi is young but has a deep cultivation, it's just right for him to go with Murong Shidi. I also thank you here, brother." He said with a smile and bowed his hands to Lin Yu.

  Lin Yu was over two hundred years old and had already reached the later stages of Golden Dan cultivation. In the Cultivation Realm, he was indeed "young".

  Murong Lie and Lin Yu both stood up and returned the courtesy.

  Han Shi Daoren smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down: "Since Murong Shidi and Lin Shidi are willing to go, then this matter is settled. On the day of departure, I will personally deliver the 'Ningying Dan' to the two Shidis' caves. For now, there's another matter that I'll trouble you both with as well."

  "Senior Master, please give your orders!" they said in unison.

  "It's actually quite simple, I'm afraid to trouble the two of you, junior brothers, to go to Ling Xiao City tomorrow to preside over that final inner door trial. In fact, the two of you only need to go and take a look, say a few words, it's not a big deal."

  "Murong Lie (Lin Yu) will definitely not betray your trust!" The two of them replied in unison.

  "It's a lot of trouble for the two of you, and also Zhou Shidi and Liang Shidi. Since this matter has been settled, all of you can return to your respective caves now. I won't see you off." Han Shi Daoren said with a smile, this meeting had finally come to a satisfactory end.

  "Master, we bid you farewell!" Then the four of them transformed into rays of light and vanished.

  Watching the four people leave, the smile on Han Shi Dao Ren's face slowly disappeared: "I hope Bi Xiao Men can safely pass this disaster!" Sighing, Han Shi Dao Ren also transformed into a beam of light and disappeared in the great hall.

  …………

  Ling Xiao City, Li Hui's home, Yuan Huan Xian Fu

  In Linshui Pavilion, Li Hui woke up from his meditation, and a faint glint of essence flashed in his eyes. His cultivation had increased again.

  Sitting on a stone bench, pouring a cup of spiritual tea, and taking a light sip.

  Li Hui found himself enjoying the feeling of sipping on spiritual tea and thinking after his cultivation ended.

  Tomorrow is the final match! As for the final victory and entering the top ten, joining the inner door of Bixiao Gate, Li Hui was not worried at all.

  He is still thinking about the twists and turns of this time's Bi Xiao Men opening mountain and recruiting disciples, and in the past few days, he has had a strange feeling in his heart.

  "What's wrong with this place?" Li Hui frowned.

  Li Hui thought for half a day and still couldn't figure it out.

  "Whatever! Let's just think about what kind of strength we should show tomorrow!"

  From the first match to now, Li Hui not only didn't use his internal spiritual energy but also didn't draw out the Qingming Sword in his hand. These cultivators participating in the trial were much weaker than he had imagined.

  It's not that others are too weak, but rather he is too strong.

  He not only took a top-grade Washing Marrow Dan, but also went through two dispersing techniques to transform his body. He stood under the waterfall every day to practice swordplay, and his body was getting stronger by the day. With the various body methods and swordplay secrets left behind by Yuan Huan Zhenren, it would be hard for him not to become formidable.

  And most importantly, he has been through countless life-and-death struggles!

  In the mountains for two years, he didn't know how many monsters he had killed. That kind of life-and-death struggle was the main reason for his rapid rise in power.

  It is only when a person is truly in danger that they can unleash their full potential! The power that bursts out between life and death is sometimes hard to believe even for oneself.

  And how many of those cultivators who stepped onto the stage had truly experienced life-or-death battles? Those young masters from aristocratic families were only relying on their family's cultivation resources, with a slightly deeper cultivation base than other rogue cultivators, knowing some spells and possessing some spiritual artifacts.

  "It's fine like this, I'll just never use my spiritual power to enter the top ten." Li Hui had already made up his mind not to use the spiritual power within him and instead relied solely on his footwork and swordsmanship to win.

  This way, no one will suspect anything and just think that he unintentionally learned some strange movements.

  Secular martial arts cultivation to the pre-heavenly realm is equivalent to the Qi-refining period of a cultivator. The Qi-refining period, however, is just touching the threshold of true cultivation, still wandering outside the door.

  In other words, the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are actually equivalent to the innate masters of secular martial artists. Although they can also cast some simple spells, in essence, they have not truly set foot on the path of immortality!

  This is also the reason why those foundation-building monks looked down on these secular martial arts. Between the Qi-refining stage and the Foundation Building stage, there was an insurmountable chasm.

  No matter how powerful a secular martial artist is, they will never be a match for a cultivator in the foundation building stage.

  However, Li Hui was an exception. "Yu Jian Pian" already belongs to the realm of divine power and does not belong to the category of martial arts.

  However, Li Hui is still lingering outside the gate of "Yu Jian Pian". Only by simplifying from complexity and entering a state of no sword can he begin to learn the true Yu Jian Shentong!

  However, due to the special nature of "Wu Xing Luan Hui Jue", every time Li Hui disperses his power and rebuilds it, his internal spiritual energy and physical strength will undergo a qualitative leap. Challenging higher levels is not impossible!

  The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, Li Hui clenched his fist: "Who can make me draw out the Qingming Sword? I'm looking forward to it too!"
