Dong!
Accompanied by the sound of a bell, Li Xuan, Qiu Ji Qian, and others all opened their eyes. In the next instant, amidst a white light, they all disappeared.
Thus, the disciple trial concluded.
For the next five years, Li Xuan's team would have their resource allocation increased to a lower tier.
And do not underestimate this lower tier. Taking Li Xuan's previous resource acquisition as an example, the two Tai Yuan Fruits he received monthly would increase to four. This doubling of resources would naturally allow Li Xuan's team to quickly enhance their strength.
In addition, the place where Li Xuan's team previously resided would also be upgraded. The concentration of spiritual energy there would naturally be incomparable to before.
"This disciple trial has concluded successfully. Based on the final results, there are indeed some teams that have exceeded my expectations. Very well, the corresponding tier for each team will be transferred to their respective leader tokens later. You have all worked hard for a month, so you may go and rest now."
Elder Geng Tian glanced at everyone, then waved his hand and said.
"We bid farewell." Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in unison and then filed out.
"Commander Li, after inquiring, Commander Zhang Xu had already reached the middle stage of the Divine Transformation realm half a year ago. Although Commander Zhang Xu promised to suppress his strength to be the same as yours, Commander Li, you are still at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation realm."
"Now that the disciple trial has just ended, what exactly is Commander Zhang Xu's intention?" Upon returning to their courtyard, Gong Han Feng immediately asked.
The others also stopped and looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of worry on their faces.
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The specific date has not been set yet, so there is nothing to worry about. Furthermore, Commander Zhang Xu is willing to offer thirty Tai Yuan Fruits as stakes, so why would I refuse?"
"As for his purpose, I have not yet been able to figure it out. Perhaps, this Commander Zhang Xu truly intends to spar with me."
"Commander Li, our team has been causing quite a stir in the Wood Pavilion repeatedly. Perhaps this is why someone has taken notice. If they can suppress us a little, their prestige in the Wood Pavilion will naturally increase significantly."
"I think Commander Zhang Xu should be here for this reason as well. Otherwise, why would he offer thirty Tai Yuan Fruits?" Wen Qing said.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Why would I refuse resources that are delivered to my doorstep? Although Commander Zhang Xu is already at the middle stage of the Divine Transformation realm, I, Li Xuan, am not a pushover. However, with my current strength, I might truly not be his match. It seems I can only break through now."
Li Xuan pondered for a moment. In the Wood Pavilion, Li Xuan did not feel he had any mortal enemies. It was more likely as Wen Qing had said. After all, a newcomer who attracts too much attention naturally becomes a target.
But with the temptation of thirty Tai Yuan Fruits, how could Li Xuan refuse? It was worth noting that even with his current increased allocation, it would take Li Xuan seven months to accumulate thirty Tai Yuan Fruits.
"Commander Li, you mean you are going to break through to the Quantitative Change realm!" Bai Xing Han asked excitedly upon hearing this.
Qiu Ji Qian smiled and said, "Commander Li could have already broken through to the Quantitative Change realm during the disciple trial, but he forcefully suppressed it."
"Now that Commander Zhang Xu has challenged you, Commander Li naturally needs to improve. In a battle between the Divine Transformation realm, the difference in cultivation can be narrowed considerably. Although Commander Li is two levels lower than Commander Zhang Xu, I believe Commander Li will win this battle!"
"Brother Qiu, you think highly of me." Li Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head, but he did not refute Qiu Ji Qian's words.
The difference between the Quantitative Change realm and the Divine Transformation realm is not insignificant. It involves transforming the Qi Sea into a Divine Mansion, and the spiritual energy throughout the body will be converted into countless starlight spiritual beads.
The foundation of each spiritual master truly begins to reveal itself in the Divine Mansion realm. And Li Xuan believed that his own foundation was certainly no worse than Zhang Xu's. The outcome of this battle was still uncertain.
"Alright, everyone go and rest. Although this disciple trial was relatively simple, it was the first time for all of you, so it's understandable to be a little nervous. Plus, you've watched so many matches, so you've likely gained some insights."
Li Xuan said to everyone, then shifted his gaze to Qiu Ji Qian, "Brother Qiu, stay behind for a moment."
"Commander Li, do you want me to deliver a message to Commander Zhang Xu?" As Wen Qing and the others withdrew, Qiu Ji Qian asked directly.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Brother Qiu, I will have to trouble you to make this trip. Tell him that I need a month to go into seclusion. After I finish my seclusion, I will fight him. During this month, if anything happens to the team, I will have to trouble Brother Qiu to take care of it."
"Alright." Qiu Ji Qian nodded upon hearing this, then clasped his fists in a bow before turning to leave.
Su Nu Peak, by the Mountain Spring.
"You intend to transform your Qi Sea into a Divine Mansion here?" After listening to Li Xuan's intentions, Bai Su Xin Bai Zun gracefully stood up and walked up to Li Xuan, asking.
Li Xuan nodded and bowed slightly, "Disciple knows this is somewhat abrupt, but if not for encountering Bai Zun, disciple would probably not have known the various cultivation realm divisions after the Immortal Realm. Now that I know all this, entering the next stage is naturally a crucial key."
"Apart from Bai Zun, disciple has no other suitable protector. However, please rest assured, Bai Zun. Disciple only needs to be here and will not trouble Bai Zun in the slightest."
"The Limit of Nine Extremes, transforming the Qi Sea into a Divine Mansion is a natural progression. To reach this point in just one year is indeed impressive. Very well, since you have asked, I shall grant your request."
Bai Su Xin Bai Zun nodded slightly and then smiled, "I have heard that Zhang Xu has challenged you and is willing to bet thirty Tai Yuan Fruits. Do you have confidence in this battle?"
"Bai Zun is indeed omniscient to know of this matter. In this battle, disciple will do his utmost." Li Xuan looked at Bai Su Xin Bai Zun with some surprise, then quickly lowered his head and said.
"Entering the Quantitative Change realm and then fighting Zhang Xu, this is all planned, isn't it? This way, you can quickly stabilize your cultivation. However, do not underestimate Zhang Xu. Among those of the same level, Zhang Xu has never been defeated."
"Thirty Tai Yuan Fruits are not so easily obtained," Bai Su Xin Bai Zun said, looking at Li Xuan.
"Disciple remembers Bai Zun's admonition." Li Xuan bowed in response.
Bai Su Xin Bai Zun nodded slightly, "Alright, you may break through here."
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded in response, then immediately sat down cross-legged. After adjusting his breathing for over ten breaths, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly surged towards Li Xuan.
As Li Xuan made his move, Bai Su Xin Bai Zun also sat down again, looking at Li Xuan and murmuring, "Opening a Divine Mansion, I would like to see how many starlight spiritual beads you can condense."
