I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

A secret realm, a pool of water.

"How is that guy doing now?"

Ji Yue held a second-order spiritual herb, a water-blue flower, which looked quite old, but her face didn't show much joy, instead, she seemed a little worried.

However, she shook her head afterward, "Forget it, his realm is higher than mine, worrying is useless. I should hurry to that place as soon as possible, he will definitely go there too."

Thinking this in her heart, she planned to put away the spiritual herb and leave this place.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind: "Miss, this water-blue flower is very useful to me, how about selling it to me?"

Ji Yue looked back and saw a rather wretched-looking man wearing the Yunshan Sect's uniform.

"Oh? What if I don't want to sell it?"

She said, putting the spiritual herb into her storage bag.

"Don't sell it? Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The man shook his head, "It's a pity that she's a little ordinary-looking, otherwise…"

Ji Yue's face immediately turned cold when she heard this, and the bracelet on her wrist suddenly turned into a golden light, smashing towards the man's head.

"You are Foundation Establishment, impossible…"

The man's expression changed drastically, and before he could react, his head was smashed to pieces.

"Hmph, that'll teach you to be rude."

Ji Yue snorted coldly, took his storage bag, and then left.

Some time later, two figures rushed over. Judging from their clothes, they were from the Moon River Sect.

"Uncle-Master Wu, the person in the portrait appeared near here."

One of them reported respectfully, looking at Wu Changhe cautiously. He didn't expect that the sect would actually let a Foundation Establishment Uncle-Master sneak in.

Wu Changhe was expressionless. He quickly saw the headless corpse and hurried over to check it, "The blood is still warm, he hasn't been gone long."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered the man: "You go over there, and immediately send me a message after discovering any trace."

"Yes."

The man replied respectfully. He had just experienced the ruthlessness of the person in front of him, who could even kill his fellow disciples.

… …

Inside a stone chamber, Lu Xin sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed.

A ball of dark blue flame was floating in front of him, constantly jumping, reflecting his face into a strange blue color.

Time slowly passed like this for six days.

Finally, on the seventh day, Lu Xin suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the dark blue ice flame instantly turned into a blue ribbon, which was sucked into his mouth and then sank into his dantian.

After doing all this, Lu Xin closed his eyes again.

After a while, his whole body suddenly emitted a blue light, and then the light turned into flames, tightly wrapping him.

Three more days passed like this.

When the flames receded, Lu Xin finally finished refining and stood up.

"This power, it seems inconsistent with the records."

Lu Xin stretched out his palm, and a ball of dark blue flame appeared in his hand.

After feeling the power inside, he found that this dark blue ice flame did not cause as much damage to his Golden Core realm as he had imagined.

"What's going on?"

He turned his gaze to the Cloud Valley Saint, who was trapped in the formation.

Seeing this, the Cloud Valley Saint explained: "When I was schemed against by that old ghost Xuankong, I extracted most of the origin of the dark blue ice flame in order to save my life."

"Can it be restored?" Lu Xin asked with a frown.

The Cloud Valley Saint did not hide anything, "This dark blue ice flame is a thing of water and fire, so as long as you devour natural treasures with these two attributes, such as the essence of water and fire, you can strengthen the origin."

"So that's how it is."

Although Lu Xin felt a little regretful, he didn't dwell on it. He took the flame back into his body and asked:

"You always say that you were schemed against by the old ghost Xuankong, what exactly happened back then?"

When the Cloud Valley Saint heard Lu Xin ask this question, a look of resentment appeared on her face. After a cold snort, she said:

"Back then, the old ghost Xuankong was in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm after surviving one tribulation. As long as he survived two more tribulations, he could ascend to the upper realm, but…"

Then she slowly narrated what happened back then.

It turned out that when the old ghost Xuankong was crossing the first tribulation, he injured his origin, so he did not dare to cross the second tribulation for a long time. Eventually, his lifespan was about to run out, and he didn't want to gamble.

So he came up with crooked ideas.

He used an evil formation found in a forbidden area, called the Nine Nether Blood Refining Origin Return Great Formation, and tricked four Mahayana cultivators, including the Cloud Valley Saint, to come over.

He tried to use the four of them as the formation's eyes, extracting their power for his own use to forcibly cross the second tribulation.

However, it ultimately failed for two reasons:

First, the second tribulation was unexpectedly strong.

Second, the Cloud Valley Saint, in order to find a glimmer of hope, actually extracted the origin of the dark blue ice flame to break free from the shackles of the great formation, and then directly self-destructed her body, opening a gap for a wisp of her remnant soul to escape.

The great formation was thus destroyed, and the Xuankong Saint was directly reduced to ashes under the second tribulation.

"This woman is also a ruthless person."

Through the narration, Lu Xin understood the cause and effect. He admired the decisiveness of the woman in front of him who self-destructed her body, but then he smiled and said:

"A dying person can do anything. It's a bit outrageous that the four of you were actually tricked here."

The Cloud Valley Saint's face was a little ugly when she heard this. It was undeniable that she was indeed careless back then.

Lu Xin thought for a while and then said: "However, to trick you Mahayana cultivators, it must have required a lot of attraction.

Tell me, what bait did the Xuankong Saint throw out back then?"

The Cloud Valley Saint was a little surprised. She had underestimated Lu Xin's shrewdness, but she quickly restrained herself and said lightly: "Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit."

"Hmm?"

Lu Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was the same thing that Ji Yue had told him. He didn't expect that this thing really existed.

"Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

He wanted to confirm the information.

The Cloud Valley Saint said unhappily: "If we hadn't seen it, would we have willingly walked into the great formation?"

Hearing the confirmation, Lu Xin was excited. This Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit was a good thing.

According to Ji Yue, those without spiritual roots can grow spiritual roots after eating it, and those with spiritual roots can evolve their spiritual roots after eating it.

However, one person can only eat one in their lifetime, and how much it can evolve depends on luck.

"Do you think it is possible that this Xuankong Saint is still alive in the same form as you?" Lu Xin suddenly asked again.

When the Cloud Valley Saint heard this, she thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Back then, I relied on secret techniques and borrowed the dark blue ice flame to escape. As for whether that old ghost has any similar secret techniques, I don't know."

Seeing this, Lu Xin didn't ask any more questions and grabbed her soul into his hand.

"Junior, you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge, will you?" The Cloud Valley Saint was a little panicked.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person," Lu Xin shook his head, "What's your name?"

The Cloud Valley Saint temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Youlan, you can call me Senior Li."

"Senior? You're dreaming."

Lu Xin wouldn't call her that. He would be a generation shorter for no reason. How could he force her to give him benefits? He didn't want to ask people for everything.

"Li Youlan, you said earlier that you know many methods of refining magic weapons, tell me one to listen to?"
