Jun Jie began to absorb the Yin energy from a Second-Order Evil Ghost Relic, using the Devouring Dao Fruit to enhance the cultivation level of the White Ghost Emperor. After the Yin energy in the Third-Order Low-grade Evil Ghost Relic was completely refined, the White Ghost Emperor finally began to evolve.In a cave where the Soul-Nurturing Wood was planted, terrifying waves of Yin energy were crazily inhaled into the White Ghost Emperor's body, and two tiny pupils appeared deep in its eyes, with strands of pitch-black and bizarre power surrounding it.Jun Jie looked at the White Ghost Emperor, its face ferocious and its body surrounded by ominous ghostly aura, and a hint of relieved light gleamed in his eyes, "It has finally advanced! White Ghost Emperor!! It is indeed my greatest support!""White Ghost Emperor: Quality Low-grade (180/1000).""Cultivation Level: Third Order Low-grade (10/3000)."Jun Jie thought to himself, "The White Ghost Emperor should also be considered as having

"Mission accomplished! It was a success, and it's a high-quality Golden Core Pill at that!"Jun Jie smiled faintly, took out a jade box and opened it. Inside the box, a pill as clear as jade was nestled, emitting a pale green Spiritual Light."Amazing! Master Jie, I can't thank you enough! This is a Jiaolong inner core, please accept it!"The Shiyang Hermit was ecstatic, his trembling hands lifted the jade box. After a careful inspection, he closed the lid, affixed a Spirit Talisman, and then took out another jade box to hand to Jun Jie.Jun Jie received the jade box, and after inspecting it, his face showed a hint of satisfaction as he stored it away.With a hearty laugh, the Shiyang Hermit turned to leave, "From this day forward, you are the best friend of this Shiyang Hermit! I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must be off. Next time, you must visit my new Shiyang City. I will entertain you well!"The Shiyang Hermit truly seemed to be a good person through and through! What a

"Master Jing, let me handle this matter! I do not wish to trouble you!"A voice as melodious as silver bells, yet tinged with disappointment, rose from the side. Jing Xiongtao turned to glance at the ravishing beauty from the Thousand Mysteries Sect, and a boundless fighting spirit surged in his heart."If I were to retreat now, Shiyao would probably be very disappointed. How then could I compete with those two?"As thoughts swirled in Jing Xiongtao's mind, he spoke loudly, "Elder Jie, based solely on your side of the story, how can you be sure it was her who interfered in the romance of your Dan Ling Sect disciples? Is it not possible that he initiated the seduction? We each hold our own views, which is futile. Why not resolve this matter by the rules of magical combat in the Cultivation World?""If you defeat me in magical combat, let her apologize and cease contact with them. But if I, by some fluke, win even a single move or half a move, then you should have them apologize to her.

Jun Jie, while staying within the Dan Ling Sect, also acquired countless invisible benefits. One such benefit was that no powerful cultivators came to capture him and make him an alchemy slave.If Jun Jie were not an elder of the Dan Ling Sect, with his alchemy, the powerful forces of the Northern Desolate would definitely not have let him go.Li Manli said, "Jing Xiongtao possesses the cultivation level of the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment and has several Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts for protection. How about I lend you the Fire Crow Mirror? Over these years, I've nurtured it into a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact."Li Manli had access to Mountain Wolf Ridge, a mature Spiritual Land supplying resources, and had eradicated demons and evil for the sect far and wide, gaining a vast amount of resources, which allowed her to nurture the Fire Crow Mirror into a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact.The Fire Crow Mirror, operated by Li Manli, was a treasure bestowed by the Sect

Upon seeing the arrival of the Loose Cultivator from Shiyang, the many cultivators present bowed and saluted in unison.The Loose Cultivator from Shiyang said with a smile, "How about I serve as a witness for this Magical Combat?""The senior has always been fair, having the senior as the witness could not be more suitable!"A voice rang out from one side as an elder in white clothing with a sturdy build, white hair, and a lively spirit walked over with a smile from the side.Jing Xiongtao was startled and said, "Dad, why have you come?"Master Baifeng replied coldly, "How could I not attend the Golden Core ceremony of the Shiyang Loose Cultivator? It's you who's surprising! You've completely disregarded my words as if they were wind past your ears!"Jing Xiongtao's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but glance towards Nangong Shiyao, who was to the side.Master Baifeng looked at Nangong Shiyao and felt a ripple in his heart, "Indeed, this woman possesses the beauty to topple nati
