Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

The Fire Domain inherently imposes significant restrictions on the Divine Soul of cultivators, and the previous magical combat between the two had already heavily exhausted their spirits. At that moment, the Illusion Talisman, nearly Tier Three, enveloped them, causing their Sea of Consciousness to start brimming with waves.

The two who had been turning to flee slowed down, followed by a dramatic change in expression.

"Hei Yu, old thief, seeking death!"

"Swish~" With a relatively weaker Divine Sense, Yang Ding True Man was the first to be swallowed by the Illusion Realm. He turned sharply towards True Man Heiyu, his anger bursting forth.

"Hmph, I have long known you, old thief, want to take the treasure all for yourself…"

As he spoke, the Illusory Umbrella in his hand already began to attack True Man Heiyu.

"Kill you, and all the treasures will belong to me!" In a daze, True Man Heiyu was awakened by Yang Ding True Man. He immediately realized what was happening, looking at Yang Ding True Man wanting to kill and snatch the treasure.

A fierce battle was imminent.

...

Watching the two face life-and-death with each strike destined to kill, a moment later both were severely injured. Xiao Changfeng, forcing out the toxicity of the Bone Nail, was utterly shocked.

"Brother Li, this…"

Li Ji'an appeared as if his Divine Soul had been excessively consumed: "Not hiding it from you, Changfeng, over the years, as your brother I have accumulated quite a bit of spiritual talent by relying on alchemy skills. Just in case, I sought to purchase some Spirit Talismans as trump cards from a high-tier talisman master in Celestial Origin Province."

In the Celestial Cyan Domain, even true Tier Three Spirit Talismans are almost impossible for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to purchase.

Whereas Tier Two Spirit Talismans are possible.

Xiao Changfeng nodded silently.

At this point, he clearly sensed the magical power aura on Li Ji'an, although already in the late period of Foundation Establishment, the magical power aura was very weak.

In an instant, his gaze towards Li Ji'an was filled with even more gratitude.

Just seeing Li Ji'an descend like a celestial god, he thought Li Ji'an had obtained some heaven-defying opportunity, causing his cultivation to soar rapidly over the past decade.

However, it was now that he realized Brother Li hadn't had any major breakthroughs in cultivation but instead relied on Spirit Talismans.

Thinking more closely, the fact that he came deep into the Fire Domain merely based on his distress call speaks volumes of the courage and bonds they shared.

Indeed, venturing so far into the Fire Domain takes courage comparable to facing two Fake Pill True Men directly.

His gaze eventually stopped on Li Ji'an's Ice and Fire Robe for two breaths: "Could it be that this robe possesses extremely strong fire-repelling divine phenomena?"

"Perhaps there are other treasures!"

A moment later, he shook his head privately, ceasing to speculate further about Li Ji'an's trump cards.

Regardless, Li Ji'an ventured into the perilous Fire Domain to rescue him, further expending precious Tier Two Spirit Talismans, which he must repay with eternal gratitude.

"Hahaha, old bastard, the treasures are all mine!" At that moment, the life-and-death struggle yielded a victor.

Yang Ding True Man, relying on a long-hidden trump card, pierced True Man Heiyu's dantian, causing the latter to collapse to the ground, face full of resentment.

Yet Yang Ding True Man was similarly riddled with black feather blades, one arm severed, coughing up black blood continuously, narrowly victorious.

For Fake Pill True Men, a nearly Tier Three Illusion Talisman cannot construct an illusion realm out of thin air, at most only manipulated inner ideals and heart demons.

At this moment, both were enticed by the treasures of Xiao Changfeng that they coveted in those two years, ultimately facing life-and-death for them.

In other words, this was their ultimate conclusion upon truly killing Xiao Changfeng and seizing the treasures.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Changfeng glanced at Li Ji'an, who nodded at him. He then casually summoned the Black Saber Magical Treasure prototype from Jiang Yunzhou towards the pair.

"Zheng~" Following the sound of ringing, Yang Ding True Man and True Man Heiyu's heads flew up, blood scattering across the sky.

In the next moment, the corpses, deprived of magical power supply, were consumed by gloomy blue flames, turning into ashes.

"Hu~"

Xiao Changfeng exhaled a long, turbid breath, turning to Li Ji'an with a solemn bow: "Brother Li, your life-saving grace is akin to rebirth. Changfeng will never forget!"

"We are brothers, no need for formalities. Come, we shall talk outside." Li Ji'an used magical power to help him up, then collected the storage pouch and magical artifact left behind by Hei Yu.

"Hold on!" Xiao Changfeng suddenly looked towards the depths of the Three-Layered Fire Domain.

"Brother Li, to be truthful, the reason for the pursuit this time is that I accidentally obtained a magical treasure of no less than third grade from a relic in the Boundless Domain. Initially, to launch a surprise attack, I threw that magical treasure into the Three-Layered Fire Domain. If brother has the capability to retrieve it, I would gift it to you!"

Thinking about how Li Ji'an could venture so far alone, Xiao Changfeng was unsure if he could withstand the depths of the Three-Layered Fire Domain.

"A magical treasure above third grade?" Li Ji'an raised his brows sharply, looking rather shocked at the depths of the Three-Layered Fire Domain.

Except there, the Gloomy Blue Flame steamed, and neither divine sense nor sight could penetrate, revealing nothing.

"Indeed, comparable to the third-grade magical treasure Elder Fang obtained that I saw years ago from afar." Xiao Changfeng affirmed.

Li Ji'an took a deep breath, then slowly shook his head: "Unfortunately, brother, to rescue you, I have already exhausted many Tier Two Spirit Talismans just managing to resist this gloomy blue flame. I truly cannot handle the Gloomy Blue Flame there."

He spoke honestly.

"All of brother's expenditure will be on my account. As for that magical treasure… from this moment forward, I forget about it, regardless of whether brother can retrieve it or return in the future to do so, it no longer concerns me." Xiao Changfeng felt slightly disappointed.

After all, for such a life-saving grace, he genuinely wanted to repay it. At this very moment, only that magical treasure could represent his gratitude, but alas…

Ultimately, he could only make this promise to express his intent.

"Your sincerity, brother, has been received!" Li Ji'an felt Xiao Changfeng's earnestness.

Xiao Changfeng laughed heartily, then brought out that stone jar again.
