Chapter 157: Chapter 157: You Yunzi’s Shock

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but frown.

Nangong Xiaoyun was already so formidable, yet the Vice Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was personally advising her.

Isn’t this a bit unsporting?

It seemed that he had to fully assist Liu Qingxian.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult for her to win.

The group of four entered the Martial Soul Hall.

Inside, there were ancient statues exuding immense majesty.

Liu Qingxian was there to accompany Jiang Fan for training, her attention entirely on him. She introduced:

“Standing in front of the statue, it will project an apparition to spar with you. If your fragmented move is incomplete and this statue happens to have it, it will fill it in for you.”

“But be aware, the Cultivation Technique appears in layers.”

“Only after finishing the First Layer will the next layer appear.”

“The maximum time one can stay in the Martial Soul Hall is three days. How many layers you can learn depends on your comprehension.”

Jiang Fan nodded thoughtfully.

So, it wasn’t entirely about completing the Cultivation Technique.

One also needed strong comprehension.

“Let’s go to the other side.”

Jiang Fan glanced at Nangong Xiaoyun and You Yunzi, then pulled Liu Qingxian to a spot behind a statue.

Liu Qingxian’s heart slightly raced, she broke free from his hand, and murmured unnaturally: “If we’re going to train, why be so secretive.”

Jiang Fan discreetly took out some Pathway Powder, stuffed it into her hand, and whispered in her ear:

“Try it out first, see if you can break through to the Core Formation Realm.”

Feeling the warm breath in her ear, Liu Qingxian’s body stiffened.

Her heartbeat quickened.

She tried to steady herself, and asked: “What’s in this bottle?”

“Pathway Powder, a Spiritual Medicine for breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.” Jiang Fan replied.

What?

Liu Qingxian was shocked, she screamed: “Break through to the Core Forma… mmm mmm…”

Jiang Fan quickly covered her lips and said: “Do you really want Nangong Xiaoyun to hear?”

He was speechless.

He had brought Liu Qingxian to a secluded corner because he wanted her to secretly break through to the Core Formation Realm.

So that when they faced off in the future, it would catch the opponent off guard.

This would increase his chances of winning by a bit.

Now it was too late.

It’s likely that Nangong Xiaoyun already heard, it couldn’t be hidden anymore.

“Oh?”

You Yunzi indeed sensed it, showing a look of astonishment: “Liu Qingxian is breaking through to the Core Formation here?”

Nangong Xiaoyun’s eyes widened: “Impossible, right? Now?”

“How could the Green Cloud Sect have Spiritual Pills for breaking through to the Core Formation Realm?”

Within the entire Nine-Sect realm, all the Spiritual Pills for the Core Formation Realm came from one place.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

After all, it’s a third-grade Spirit Pill, and ordinary One-star or Two-star Soul Masters simply couldn’t refine it.

And it had been years since the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion produced such Spirit Pills.

Where on earth did the Green Cloud Sect get it from?

Nangong Xiaoyun muttered: “Could it be a tactic to disturb my cultivation?”

You Yunzi slowly nodded:

“Train diligently. Even if there really is a Spirit Pill, breaking through to the Core Formation Realm is not guaranteed, the pill has at most a thirty percent chance.”

On the other side.

Liu Qingxian realized her mistake, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

She failed to notice that Jiang Fan’s hand was still covering her mouth.

When she stuck out her tongue, it touched Jiang Fan’s palm.

Jiang Fan felt like he’d been electrocuted, he quickly pulled back his hand.

His palm tingled and made him feel strange, he coughed lightly and said: “Go ahead and take it.”

Liu Qingxian’s face turned even redder.

Her mind was in a whirl, she quickly turned her attention away, and said: “Alright, I’ll try to break through first.”

The two no longer whispered.

Since they were already exposed, they might as well break through openly.

After swallowing a bottle of powder, Liu Qingxian immediately sat crossed-legged, running her mental method to gather the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

The medicinal effect quickly took hold.

Liu Qingxian’s body emitted a huge amount of white smoke, her skin turned a crimson red, like iron heated in a forge.

A powerful aura spread and contracted around her.

This was the sign of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.

You Yunzi sensed it from afar, and was shocked: “She really is breaking through!”

Nangong Xiaoyun’s eyes snapped open.

She was stunned: “Does Jiang really have Spiritual Pills for the Core Formation Realm?”

“But, why are his pills so effective? Just one pill and she can form a core?”

“I had to take three pills to barely succeed.”

You Yunzi also found it incredible, muttering to himself:

“This Elder Jiang is truly unfathomable!”

“What he possesses must be an even more powerful kind of Spirit Pill.”

Suddenly.

You Yunzi’s expression changed slightly.

“No good, the breakthrough is failing.”

“The aura is unstable, it’s a sign of insufficient gathered Spiritual Energy, indicating a failed Core Formation.”

“She either needs a very strong mental method, or be in a place with extremely dense Spiritual Energy, otherwise, failure is unavoidable.”

Yet now it was too late to change locations for the breakthrough.

As for the mental method, it was even more unlikely.

“What a pity.” You Yunzi sighed.

Liu Qingxian herself felt the situation, her face anxious.

She was just a step away from breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.

It was the closest she had ever been over the years.

Now she just lacked sufficient Spiritual Energy!

No matter how hard she tried to absorb more Spiritual Energy, it was far from enough to meet the needs of Core Formation.

The Spiritual Energy required for Core Formation was much more than expected.

Jiang Fan also saw the danger.

It seemed that Liu Qingxian’s mental method couldn’t support the Spiritual Energy needed for Core Formation.

“Stay calm, keep cultivating, leave the rest to me.”

Jiang Fan placed his palm on her head, and his transparent Spirit Root silently began to function.

The powerful Spirit Root, like a towering tree with countless roots, gathered all the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

In an instant.

The Spiritual Energy density increased several times, almost forming a mist!

And the Spiritual Energy kept gathering.

In such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, even though Liu Qingxian’s mental method was slightly lacking, any absorption now was several times more effective than before.

Thus, her dissipating aura reappeared and continued to strengthen.

The seemingly failing Core Formation was successfully salvaged!

You Yunzi, witnessing this scene, was filled with shock, he gasped: “What a terrifying Spirit Root!”

“It can draw such an enormous cloud of Spiritual Energy!”

Nangong Xiaoyun wrinkled her delicate nose, somewhat unwilling: “No matter how powerful, can it be stronger than our Pavilion Master?”

You Yunzi’s old eyes were filled with astonishment as he shook his head: “In terms of strength, Elder Jiang naturally cannot compare to our Pavilion Master.”

“But in terms of Spirit Root, it’s hard to say.”

What?

Nangong Xiaoyun’s already round eyes widened like walnuts.

“What!”

“But… but our Pavilion Master has a Nine-grade Spirit Root! Nine-grade!”

You Yunzi couldn’t suppress the shock in his heart, muttering:

“Who exactly is this Elder Jiang!”

As time passed.

Half a day later.

A faint rumbling sound came from Liu Qingxian’s abdomen.

It was the sign of her Spirit Pond breaking and transforming into an inner core!

She suddenly opened her eyes.

Her beautiful snowy eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

“I’ve formed a core!”

“Jiang Fan, I’ve formed a core!”

In extreme delight, she jumped up and grabbed Jiang Fan’s hand, unable to contain her excitement.

It was like a child receiving a long-desired toy.

She expressed pure joy from the bottom of her heart.

However.

She suddenly realized that Jiang Fan’s gaze at her body was somewhat evasive, not quite right.
