Chapter 388: 388

Thirty miles away from their cave, Long Chen found a secluded place to take out the Violet Phoenix Sparrow corpse .

Although it was already a corpse, its huge body was still emitting a pressure that would make you feel as if a boulder was crus.h.i.+ng your heart .

Devil Decapitator slashed through its head . But Long Chen was vexed to find that its skull was just too hard, and it was extremely taxing to use Devil Decapitator to cut it open .

At this point, he wasn’t even able to sense the golden page’s location anymore . He only managed to feel relief when he found a thin crack in its skull . It was with great effort that Long Chen finally managed to reach the golden page . That allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief . If he had lost this golden page, he really might just cry himself to death .

“This golden page is extremely odd . After being parted for these days, it somehow treats me as a stranger that’s never touched it . ”

Long Chen released his Spiritual Strength, but he found that the golden page, which he had previously been able to control with a thought, had become unfamiliar to his soul .

He had to first use his soul to slowly connect with it and reform their initial connection before he could properly control it again .

Although he didn’t know what it was made of, just its incredible sharpness that allowed it to cut through steel like it was mud was enough to prove it was a priceless treasure .

If it weren’t for Yin Luo’s reflexes, he would have been instantly killed by this golden page . But the main flaw of the golden page was that it required soul energy to use it in fights .

During an intense fight, it was impossible to split his attention to use it . In a fight between experts, a thousand actions could occur in a single breath . The slightest carelessness could result in death, so he couldn’t split his attention to use it . That was also why he hadn’t had a chance to use it against Yin Luo except towards the end .

Furthermore, for experts on the same level, they might get surprised once by a special move, but they definitely wouldn’t fall for it a second time . So Long Chen wouldn’t use the golden page unless he had some a.s.surance .

Once an opponent was on guard, it was very difficult for it to succeed . And if it failed twice without any accomplishments, then by the third time, the opponent would have very likely figured out how the golden page was used .

The other reason Long Chen held back from using the golden page as a weapon was because he still didn’t know all its secrets . If it was somehow stolen by someone, then he really would be screwed .

The golden page swished through the air . It began to cut through the Violet Phoenix Sparrow’s abdomen . This time Long Chen didn’t dare allow the golden page to penetrate deeply into the flesh . He actually sent himself through the opening in its abdomen and took out a foot-long item that sparkled like it was jade .

That was its Neidan . Although it was slightly dim, the great pressure emitted by it caused s.p.a.ce to twist around it .

“What powerful flame energy!” Long Chen could sense the terrifying power within it .

It truly was worthy of being ranked third on the beast flame rankings . Even despite having used up all its energy, the Neidan still contained its core energy which was still so powerful .

Long Chen’s heart beat wildly . This was something that countless Pill Masters would go crazy for .

This was also why Huo Wufang would still go all-out to fight for this Neidan despite already possessing such a powerful beast flame . On the beast flame rankings, the closer a flame got to the front, the more obvious the difference between each flame was . Each flame at the top ranks was separated by a great power difference . It could be said that this Neidan was the thing that Long Chen needed the most at this time .

Once he refined this Neidan and absorbed the Phoenix Sparrow violet flame, he would be able to refine the Alioth Pill and condense the Alioth Star .

Furthermore, Long Chen had now reached the third Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation . However, the price was that he had already consumed all the Three Connecting Flower Tendon Pills he had . If he wanted to quickly advance, he would need to constantly consume more medicinal pills .

Long Chen had found that after cultivating in the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, his cultivation path had completely deviated from others . Medicinal pills had become the foundation of his cultivation . He had found that his body was able to absorb one hundred percent of the energy within medicinal pills . There was not the slightest waste or rejection .

It had to be known that other than a small portion of medicinal pills, a person could at most consume three of the same medicinal pill . By the fourth one, its effect would be negligible .

When you consumed the first pill, it would be one hundred percent effective . With the second one, the effect would be cut in half, and then in half again by the third one . So it was essentially useless by the fourth time . If you forced it and consumed even more, you might even get the opposite effect of what you wanted .

The Three Connecting Flower Tendon Pill was a special medicinal pill that could be consumed more . However, a person could at most consume ten . That would allow their tendons to reach their peak potential .

But Long Chen had found that his body’s tendons were like a bottomless pit, crazily absorbing whatever medicinal energy he poured in, never reaching saturation .

Furthermore, as his cultivation base increased, his medicinal pill requirements only increased . Nowadays, he had already eaten all of his Three Connecting Flower Tendon Pills .

If this had continued, Long Chen would have had no time for cultivating, and he would also have had no time for pill refining . With his original Pill Flame, refining Three Connecting Flower Tendon Pills was too time-consuming . To waste precious time refining medicinal pills within the Jiuli secret realm was truly a waste of his opportunity .

Right now, Long Chen sensed a great deal of danger . Han Tianyu, Yin Luo, Huo Wufang, and the other peak experts here had already reached the peak of Tendon Transformation .

They could break through to Bone Forging at any moment . Long Chen knew they had long since made their preparations for that . As soon as they broke through to the Bone Forging realm, they would immediately consume countless resources to temper their bones .

Currently, Long Chen still had the power to challenge them . But once they advanced to Bone Forging, would he still be able to do that?
