Chapter 376: Bodhi Dan Prescription

Despite Xue Wanzhong's palm strike, which felt like a collapsing mountain, Jiang Fan's palm remained completely still, firmly blocking his massive hand.

This scene caused everyone present to narrow their eyes.

Xue Wanzhong's palm strike was so powerful that, among his generation across the Nine Sects, only a handful of people could withstand it. Yet Jiang Fan easily blocked it?

Xie Liushu secretly clicked his tongue, "This guy has gotten stronger again!"

When fighting the Red Scale Demonic Flood Dragon, Jiang Fan had struggled somewhat. Now, he could easily spar with a physical powerhouse at the second layer of the Core Formation Stage. What made his eyelids twitch even more was that Jiang Fan hadn't even used his spiritual energy; he was relying purely on his physical strength!

Wang Yunguo gasped, "He... he's that strong?"

He knew he couldn't block Xue Wanzhong's palm strike, even if he used all his strength; he would end up with broken bones all over his body at the very least. Yet Jiang Fan blocked it with a mere lift of his hand!

Just moments ago, he had been thinking of getting revenge on Jiang Fan, believing that he had turned his humiliation into motivation and significantly improved his strength over the past month. Only now did he realize he was fortunate not to have acted, as otherwise, he would have faced an even more embarrassing outcome.

The disciples in the room were all astonished.

"This is too unreal, isn't it?" "He's matching Xue Wanzhong in pure physical strength without losing ground?" "He can actually compete with an Ancient Giant bloodline?"

Lu Xiunian was also greatly surprised.

After a month's absence, Jiang Fan's strength had undergone a qualitative transformation!

He couldn't help but look at the calm and composed Qin Wangchuan.

No wonder! No wonder she didn't intervene; she must have known all along that Jiang Fan's physical strength was astonishing and he didn't need help.

However.

Little did he know that Qin Wangchuan was also inwardly startled at this moment.

"No, shouldn't this guy be using the Nine Poisons True Scripture?" "How can he still hide such terrifying physical strength?"

She was a bit bewildered.

When they were back at the sect, wasn't it said that Jiang Fan's physical strength was just enough to defeat Hua Xiangchen, a cultivator at the first layer of the Core Formation Stage? What was going on now? He could now easily exchange blows with a physical powerhouse at the second layer of the Core Formation Stage.

Outsiders were surprised.

Xue Wanzhong was even more astonished, a hint of awe flashing in his enraged eyes.

Although he hadn't used his full strength, Jiang Fan didn't appear to be struggling at all. No way! On the land of the Nine Sects, could anyone besides his Senior Brother actually confront him head-on in terms of physical strength?

Feeling countless gazes of doubt and surprise directed at him.

He felt a bit embarrassed.

He immediately shouted in a low voice, "Stop pretending!"

His palm suddenly exerted force.

To his surprise, he still couldn't budge the other party's palm. Moreover, Jiang Fan even looked at him with a calm expression.

"Is that all?"

Then, with a flick of his hand, he sent Xue Wanzhong's palm flying back.

Everyone was startled.

Jiang Fan actually had the upper hand?

Although it was possible that Xue Wanzhong had been unprepared, it was still astonishing!

Xue Wanzhong was furious.

His proud physical strength was actually matched by a mere junior disciple from the Azure Cloud Sect? He immediately wanted to activate his Ancient Giant bloodline and show Jiang Fan what he was capable of!

"Hey! All visitors are guests, let's talk things out properly."

Lu Xiunian interrupted him in time.

The Grand Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect was watching nearby. If Xue Wanzhong really dared to activate his Ancient Giant bloodline and injure Jiang Fan, would the other party just stand by idly?

Unaware of this, Xue Wanzhong mistakenly thought Lu Xiunian was favoring Jiang Fan.

He snorted heavily, "For Elder Lu's sake, I'll spare your life for now. Once I've dealt with the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Jiang Fan showed a slight hint of regret.

He actually wanted to see how formidable Xue Wanzhong's Ancient Giant bloodline would be when he was pushed to his limits. Unfortunately, Lu Xiunian was too eager to protect him and stopped him.

Lu Xiunian cast a look of great expectation at Xue Wanzhong's colossal body, stroking his beard as he spoke:

"The Ancient Giant bloodline possesses miraculous abilities such as immunity to all spells and invulnerability to fire and water. It also has a natural immunity to potent poisons. Inviting him was definitely a wise decision. Young Master Xue, tell us, what do you want?"

Xue Wanzhong crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "First, the Seven-Colored Profound Ice belongs to me. Second, I heard your sect has a Bodhi Pill formula; I want that too."

The Bodhi Pill formula?

The last time he heard of the Bodhi Pill was from the Evil Spirit of the Black Mirror, who said it was essential for cultivators at the ninth layer of the Core Formation Stage to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. It could enhance physical strength and resist heavenly tribulations.

He was very interested in the Bodhi Pill. Unfortunately, without the formula, Jiang Fan, despite possessing the Blood Bodhi and alchemy skills, was like a clever housewife with no rice to cook.

A glint flashed in Lu Xiunian's eyes as he said, "The Seven-Colored Profound Ice can be discussed. But forget about the Bodhi Pill formula. That formula is kept by the Grand Elder of the Supreme Sect. If your Giant Sect wants it, at the very least, the sect leaders of both sects must meet and discuss it personally. As a mere disciple, you shouldn't get involved."

The implication was that the Bodhi Pill formula was too precious, and Xue Wanzhong was too insignificant to covet it.

"Then, could you convey my message? Facilitating a discussion between the two sects on this matter would also be acceptable," Xue Wanzhong said, changing his condition. Clearly, he didn't expect them to actually give it to him; his purpose for this trip was merely to convey the Giant Sect's intentions.

Lu Xiunian's expression softened, "This old man can indeed help you relay the message."

Immediately after.

He then looked at Xie Liushu and Jiang Fan respectively, saying, "Since you both wish to obtain this mutated Seven-Colored Profound Ice, this old man will reluctantly part with it. Whoever has the ability to excavate this Seven-Colored Profound Ice can take it away!"

Xie Liushu felt slightly invigorated.

This is what provides motivation.

Jiang Fan's gaze flickered slightly.

There was only one Seven-Colored Profound Ice; did this mean it would come down to individual ability?

Lu Xiunian stood up, saying, "If all three of you are ready, then follow me to the mine!"

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually anxious.

The Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist had been continuously dispersing, corroding many Seven-Colored Ores. These ores, now filled with potent toxins, had become waste material, rendered useless. Currently, the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist had only corroded the surface ores, so as long as they were dug out, there wouldn't be much trouble. If there were any further delays, and the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist infiltrated the mine's interior, the Supreme Sect's entire ore territory would be ruined.

Thirty percent of the Supreme Sect's crystal income relied entirely on selling Seven-Colored Ores. If they could no longer excavate, no one could bear the consequences.

Therefore.

Without further ado.

He immediately led the group to the eastern side of the Seven-Colored Ore Mountain.

This area was the most abundant source of Seven-Colored Ores, producing three times the amount excavated by the Azure Cloud Sect annually!

There was no alternative.

The Seven-Colored Ore Mountain was located within the Supreme Sect's territory. The other eight sects were only able to claim a share of the territory in the mine because their respective Grand Elders had once joined forces to fight against the Grand Elders of the Supreme Sect. The Supreme Sect occupying the best territory was already the greatest concession.

What was visible to the naked eye.

This area was covered in a thick layer of seven-colored mist. It wriggled occasionally, like a living creature, appearing somewhat eerie.

Jiang Fan was slightly surprised, "Is all of this the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist?"

Lu Xiunian nodded with a very solemn expression.

Hearing this.

Xie Liushu's expression changed, "Elder Lu, didn't you say the poisonous mist was still very thin? The mist right now is so thick that you can't see anything beyond ten feet. I've never seen such intense poisonous mist in my life! Aren't you sending us to our deaths by making us go in?"
