Chapter 15 Successful Investment in Su Moxue

As the axe-wielding man sighed, his gaze also fell upon the person who had just saved his life.

At the same time, Li Chang'an also noticed the newcomer. This person was none other than Wang Chengye, who had betrayed Cangyun Xiang with Niu Le.

Li Chang'an originally wanted to question Wang Chengye, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Ning Hanruo, who was struggling in the middle of a fierce battle. He also knew that every second was precious.

Without hesitation, Li Chang'an charged toward Wang Chengye and roared at Ning Hanruo.

"Elder Ning, hold on for now. I'll take care of these minions first."

At this moment, Ning Hanruo was visibly at a disadvantage due to the difference in their cultivation levels.

When Wang Chengye saw Li Chang'an, he seemed to be ready to fight to the death.

He stood upright with his hands behind his back. His once full head of black hair was now covered with large patches of white, which were gently blown by the breeze.

"As expected, this elder was right. It was your doing that so many disciples of the Cangyun Sect were brutally murdered by the Hehuan Sect not long ago!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Li Chang'an had no intention of wasting words with Wang Chengye; he raised his sword, ready to cripple him.

Wang Chengye looked at Li Chang'an without saying a word, then drew his sword and charged forward, shaking his head.

"You, Li Chang'an, are not the only one who knows how to conceal their abilities. Not long ago, I myself broke through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage!"

Immediately, Wang Chengye unleashed his cultivation, gathering spiritual power in his palm, and let out a soft shout.

"The Azure Cloud Palm!"

Unfortunately, even ordinary Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage are no match for Li Chang'an, let alone Wang Chengye, a second-grade Golden Core cultivator who barely managed to reach the Great Perfection stage not long ago.

Li Chang'an's eyes narrowed, and he pierced through Wang Chengye's outstretched palm with his sword.

In a flash, the blade of the Desert Sword in Li Chang'an's hand touched Wang Chengye's body.

However, Li Chang'an did not kill Wang Chengye. After severely injuring him with a sword, he summoned the five Death Servants he had obtained from the system.

With a thought, he gave instructions to the several assassins who had rushed over.

"Keep an eye on him, I'll take care of the other one first."

Immediately, he moved and appeared behind the axe-wielding man who had just recovered his senses.

"I'm giving you back what you just said: your death is imminent, so don't put up any futile resistance."

The words had barely left his lips when Li Chang'an swung his sword, ending the life of the axe-wielding man.

After killing three Golden Core cultivators, Li Chang'an quickly took off their storage rings and put them on his own.

"The elders of the Qinglan Sect must be incredibly wealthy. If they invest these treasures, I should be able to gain quite a few investment points as well."

After thinking it over, Li Chang'an turned his gaze to Wang Chengye and gave instructions to the five assassins.

"We've been raising an army for a thousand days, but we're going to use it for one. After this battle, you will be heroes of my Cangyun Sect. You must assist Elder Ning well and be prepared to make sacrifices if necessary."

"A product of the system is bound to be of high quality." The five assassins unanimously agreed to Li Chang'an's request.

"promise!"

In an instant, a fearless aura emanated from the group.

Li Chang'an nodded slightly, grabbed Wang Chengye, and headed towards the Qinglan Sect's headquarters.

"Only one last step remains. If this succeeds, we can then join forces with Liu Yishui to kill this female demon!"

Li Chang'an channeled all his spiritual energy into a meteor, moving at an extremely fast speed, but even at that speed, it still took half an hour.

As he headed towards the Qinglan Sect, he kept praying that Ning Han could hold on for a little longer.

"Chang'an, what's the rush?"

Just as Li Chang'an was about to arrive at Qinglan Sect, he heard Su Muxue's alluring voice.

The strong wind then stopped.

Li Chang'an was panting heavily.

"Master's wife, I... I promised you I would send you another treasure."

In fact, Su Muxue had already noticed Wang Chengye when she saw Li Chang'an. She curled her lips into a smile. Even a demon lord who would drain people dry without blinking was slightly touched by Li Chang'an's actions.

"It's actually a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. You must have suffered a lot. But now that you've come... wouldn't that elder of your Cangyun Sect be in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an frowned, but quickly calmed down, his expression becoming firm.

"I believe in her abilities!"

"But the key to breaking the deadlock in this battle lies with my master's wife. I think every bit of power my master's wife gains is crucial."

Hearing Li Chang'an's explanation, Su Muxue nodded slightly, no longer hesitating, and used her spiritual power to grab Wang Chengye with her large hand.

"How can you be so sure that your Iceberg Elder would switch sides at the last minute?"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Muxue completely absorbed the essence in Wang Chengye's body. Her yin energy also surged suddenly, and a long-lost feeling of comfort made her involuntarily cry out.

Her enchanting voice echoed around them, causing Li Chang'an to blush.

"I never expected that... swallowing a Golden Core cultivator would actually allow me to touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage."

[Name: Su Moxue]

[Realm: Peak Golden Core Stage]

[Talent: Evil Cultivator, Yin Luan Enchanting Body (Five Stars)]

[Aura: Blue (Blessed by the Yin Luan) (After a significant increase in strength, it absorbed the essence of Liu Yishui and Lei Wu, and then devoured the essence of the host and Ning Hanruo, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and awakening the Yin Luan Charm Body)]

(However, due to his increased strength, he became unrestrained and acted recklessly, causing most third-rate righteous forces to suffer. He was later defeated by a Nascent Soul disciple from the Eastern Continent's Blazing Sun Holy Land and became the furnace top.)

"The host's investment was successful. The plan was to invest in four sect elders who had reached the minor Golden Core stage, but the actual investment was in three elders who had reached the minor Golden Core stage and one elder who had reached the major Golden Core stage."

"The host's investment triggered a butterfly effect, and Su Muxue finally reached the Nascent Soul stage. This investment exceeded expectations and triggered a tenfold critical hit."

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Saint-level low-grade cultivation technique 'Universal True Body' and 400 investment points."

Current investment points: 400

"Congratulations, host, you have received a system reward cultivation technique. Cultivation of the technique has been activated for you."

Li Chang'an felt heavy-hearted after hearing the system's voice informing him of his death.

But when he heard that the system had triggered a tenfold critical hit and unlocked the skill category, his eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Su Moxue changed.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Muxue would kill him in the system's simulation, Li Chang'an would have actually considered making a long-term investment in Su Muxue.

Unfortunately, Su Muxue could not become Li Chang'an's prey.

Li Chang'an turned his gaze to the system menu that appeared. In the cultivation technique section, apart from the technique he cultivated himself, there was another one called "Universal True Body," and below this technique was a brief introduction.

The "Universal True Body" is a low-grade Saint-level body-refining technique with nine levels, each corresponding to one of the following stages in the Divine Fall Continent's cultivation system: Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana, Human God, Nirvana, and so on.

The cultivation process of this technique is extremely domineering, mainly destroying the original cells of the practitioner, so that the regenerated cells of the practitioner are more compatible with this universe.

Next to the introduction is a plus sign, which also indicates that upgrading "Universal True Body" to the first level requires 200 investment points.
