Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Core Formation Stage, Yan Zhiyi!

"A Foundation Establishment Stage Martial Artist making five of us at the Core Formation Stage go out, what a waste of talent!"

This Core Formation elder, named Yan Zhiyi, actually had ulterior motives for a long time.

Within the Hehuan Sect, male disciples had always been regarded as second-class, serving as consorts to their respective Shijie (female martial artist seniors).

However, at their level of cultivation, they’d often become dao companions and wouldn’t be harvested for energy by many people, unlike the disciples at lower stages.

They were the ones who truly practiced Dual Cultivation.

Nonetheless, having experienced being harvested from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment, even upon reaching the Core Formation Stage, it was sometimes difficult to break old habits.

On the way to Tianyuan, he’d made up his mind.

There were many Spiritual Medicines in Tianyuan, and he intended to casually pick some yang-restoring herbs to counteract the excessive demands of his dao companion.

As for Lu Chen...

He simply didn’t take him seriously.

Compared to that, what Yan Zhiyi cared more about was the valley within the One-Line Sky!

According to the news Chen Gaoshang sent back, many Martial Artists lived in the valley, and anyone could guess that someone must be cultivating Spiritual Medicines there.

Otherwise, why hide in the depths of Tianyuan?

"You all think you can compete with me? Just think about it, my dao companion is also your dao companions’ big senior sister!"

Yan Zhiyi sneered in his heart as he flew toward Tianyuan, based on the news from the Communication Talisman sent by Chen Gaoshang. After he fell into Tianyuan from this entrance, he immediately searched for the luminous location to determine the direction of One-Line Sky.

But little did he know, the Night Spirit Pearl had been taken away, the beam of light had disappeared, and Yan Zhiyi was completely in the dark.

"Eh... could it be that Chen Gaoshang’s message was wrong?"

Yan Zhiyi was bewildered for a moment, as the message in the Communication Talisman was very clear.

Moreover, in such pitch-black darkness, even a little bit of light would be extremely obvious, but he saw nothing as he descended.

"Forget it, he also said it wasn’t far, just within a few miles, I’ll just use my Spiritual Sense to search..."

Yan Zhiyi shook his head and didn’t care too much, hoping to find some yang-restoring materials as he searched along the way.

Without the luminous location to guide him, Yan Zhiyi walked quite randomly, and in order to spread his Spiritual Sense farther, he focused mainly on the direction in front of him, which left his flanks without Spiritual Sense coverage.

The rustling sound of stepping on dry leaves kept traveling into the distance.

A mile away, Lu Chen was lying low behind a huge tree.

"Core Formation Stage, it must be the Core Formation Stage!"

With the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he could clearly see Yan Zhiyi.

Whether it was his demeanor or the Spiritual Power swirling in the air being stirred by his leaking Spiritual Sense, nothing could escape Lu Chen’s eyes!

"And he came from that direction... could it be he picked up the Clean Jade Bottle?"

Lu Chen remembered the location of the Clean Jade Bottle, but he didn’t feel it at such close proximity, naturally assuming that this Core Formation Stage elder had discovered the treasure.

But in truth, it was because of Li Qingyao’s blood essence, which temporarily erased the connection between Lu Chen and the Clean Jade Bottle!

After all, Li Qingyao was at the Core Formation Stage too!

Watching Yan Zhiyi go far away, heading toward the direction of One-Line Sky, Lu Chen ground his teeth in hatred.

He had killed a Core Formation Stage Xuanji Sect Master before, but that was due to a combination of favorable circumstances aligning perfectly.

As for Yan Zhiyi, he knew nothing about him or what tricks he might have!

Moreover, he was without the help of the Clean Jade Bottle now; the only things he could use were the Spiritual Fire Tortoise Shell and the long spear!

Apart from the long spear, he had no technique for controlling fire and couldn’t unleash the true wonders of the Spiritual Fire.

As for the tortoise shell...

He hadn’t found a suitable method to use it, and even if he did, at best he would only be able to crawl inside and use the tortoise shell as a defensive Magic Artifact.

But the question was, could it withstand a Core Formation Stage opponent?

Lu Chen was unsure in his heart, and he never did things he wasn’t certain of!

"Hehuan Sect... hmph, I’ll remember this. Whatever you’ve taken from me, I’ll come back for it sooner or later!"

Seeing the other party seeming to have discovered One-Line Sky, Lu Chen quickly turned and left.

Tolerating for the moment was for the sake of seeking better revenge later!

Following his original plan, Lu Chen delved deeper into Tianyuan; in contrast to Yan Zhiyi, he could completely determine his direction.

At the same time, he could also use the jade fish talisman to sense the position of Li Qingyao.

The jade fish talisman had lit up once before, but at that time, Chen Gaoshang happened to arrive as well.

This indicated that Li Qingyao was not far from here!

Lu Chen believed that he would definitely be able to find Li Qingyao!
