Chapter 3793: Improved Again

Han Fangcuo said, “Let’s split up and see if we can find that person. If we do, send a signal immediately, and the three of us will work together to kill him.”

“Alright.”

The three of them were all Elders of their Sects and extremely decisive. They quickly reached an agreement and began searching in three different directions.

However, they searched an area of a million li in circumference but couldn't find a single person.

Neither the strong cultivators sent by the three families nor the Demonic Technique Cultivating ghost Immortal were found.

Helpless, the three could only return to Yuangu City disgruntled.

On Ye Bufan’s side, after returning to the inn, he took Xuan Yuan Linglong into the Dragon King Palace.

Strength, everything was about strength; he had to seize the time to improve!

This time, the harvest was quite abundant. Previously, at the gambling house, the principal plus the winnings totaled over 4.3 billion.

This time, Bixia Sect brought back another 600 million, bringing the total to almost 5 billion.

Such a large amount of resources should be enough for the three of them to Cultivate together.

Ye Bufan kept 100 million Immortal Crystals, as the Sect still needed to operate, and there might be other uses for them in the future.

The rest piled up like a towering mountain on Dragon King Island. Then, the three of them each chose a direction, sat down cross-legged, and began to Cultivate.

Ye Erlang and Xuan Yuan Linglong Cultivated the Spotless Heavenly Book, while Ye Bufan Cultivated the Chaotic Immortal Art. All three were big consumers of resources.

As the three of them began to Cultivate, three whirlwinds swept across the entire Dragon King Island, drawing endless Immortal Spiritual Qi into their bodies.

The mountain of Immortal Crystals visibly shrank, yet the three of them were like bottomless pits, still absorbing madly.

Each one was faster and more ferocious than the last, as if it were a competition of devouring Immortal Spiritual Qi.

About three hours later, Ye Bufan slowly opened his eyes. His Qi was powerful, and his Chaotic Immortal Art had reached Immortal King Peak.

But that was all. To take another step and enter the Immortal Lord Stage, he would need endless resources, and he had no Immortal Crystals left.

The astonishing 4.9 billion Immortal Crystals were completely consumed by the three of them.

If this scene were witnessed by outsiders, countless people would be dumbfounded; it was simply unbelievable.

Ye Bufan felt a pang of heartache, but no matter what, his Cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, directly from Immortal King Early Stage to Immortal King Peak.

He looked at Xuan Yuan Linglong beside him: “How are you doing now? How much have you Breakthrough?”

“Ye Dage, I am now at Immortal Lord Peak, but it’s still not enough to Breakthrough.”

A hint of regret flashed across Xuan Yuan Linglong’s face; she still hadn't managed to step into the Immortal Venerable realm.

Ye Erlang beside her was also the same; after absorbing a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi, his strength soared, but he was also stuck at Immortal Lord Peak.

The further one Cultivates, the harder it is to improve, and the more resources are needed.

The two of them, despite their frantic absorption, only managed to raise their Cultivation from Immortal Lord Late Stage to Immortal Lord Peak.

“This is already very good. You’ll slowly Cultivate more in the future, and you’ll eventually Breakthrough.”

Ye Bufan felt some regret and a pang of heartache for the several billion Immortal Crystals, but his rationality remained.

The improvements of the three of them were already terrifying. Many people stopped before becoming an Immortal King, unable to advance even a little, but what they achieved was absolutely unique.

Xuan Yuan Linglong was still a bit unwilling: “Ye Dage, the competition is about to start. We haven’t placed our bets yet. How about we go gamble some more?

If we can win another 10 to 80 billion, the three of us should all be able to Breakthrough.”

“10 to 80 billion?”

Ye Bufan’s mouth twitched. Did this little girl think Immortal Crystals were just stones?

Taking 4 billion this time was almost the limit. If he were to win another 10 to 80 billion, he estimated that all the major Sects would go crazy, and he would become a public enemy.

Although the rules of Yuangu City were in place, they had their limits.

If he angered the people who set these rules, he might not only fail to get a single Immortal Crystal but also invite trouble upon himself.

When he cashed out his winnings this time, an Immortal Venerable level strong cultivator had already been dispatched. If there were a next time, he might not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, there was a skill to fleecing, and it was important to know when to stop.

If he continued to bet, too small an amount would be useless to the three of them and would still attract attention.

If the amount was too large, it would definitely provoke a furious counterattack from the other side, making it not worth the gain.

So, he decided that gambling would stop here. He would not place any more bets unless there was an unexpected situation.

After stabilizing his strength, Ye Bufan took Xuan Yuan Linglong out of the Dragon King Palace. This time, he did not bring Situ Dianmo for the improvement.

Because the opponent's strength was not strong, there was no immediate rush. Stabilizing her Foundation would allow for better improvement.

The next morning, almost the entire Yuangu City turned out to watch the Hundred Champions Competition.

Ye Bufan led everyone to Dile Heaven’s seats and sat there leisurely. This was the advantage of having a bye.

He only needed to watch the show from the sidelines, without having to worry about the competition at all.

When the time came, the competition began. This time, it was 25 advancing to 13, with a total of twelve rounds of matches, divided into four rounds, with three matches per round.

According to the drawing order, Leng Qingqiu was in the first round, along with Xifeng Lie, a Core Disciple of Guiyuan Sect.

Ye Bufan was not familiar with the remaining group, and the two individuals also didn't have many highlights, so they didn't attract much attention.

On the viewing platform, Fairy Chixia, having taken Ye Bufan’s Medicinal Pill, had recovered most of her injuries and was seated there again.

Now that the major Sect matter was settled and her Senior Sister had recovered, she was in a great mood, and a faint smile even hung on her usually serious face.

Wu Huo Daojun glanced at Ouyang Pingjiang: “Elder Ouyang, Guiyuan Sect’s luck seems to be not so good; two of their Disciples have been matched against each other.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Ouyang Pingjiang shook his head with a bitter smile, “If only we had the luck of Lingyun Sword Sect.”

Fairy Chixia said, “Elder Ouyang, that’s not right to say. How can you be sure that they rely on luck and not strength?”

She had witnessed Ye Bufan’s Medical skill and had taken his healing Medicinal Pill, and now she had a new assessment of Lingyun Sword Sect’s strength.

With such an Immortal Pill Master in charge, their strength was probably not as simple as just luck.

Ouyang Pingjiang, however, was unaware of this and said indifferently, “I admit that these Young men from Lingyun Sword Sect are excellent, but so what?

They are, after all, a small Sect with shallow Foundation. They don't have top-grade Cultivation Techniques, nor do they have vast Cultivation resources.

Compared to our large Sects, there is still a huge gap, and this cannot be compensated for by a few Genius Disciples.

The reason they have been able to reach this point is that they haven’t encountered overly strong opponents, especially that Ye, who hasn’t even lifted a finger yet. What is that if not luck?

So, in my opinion, they will only go this far and cannot continue any further.”

His words were well-founded and full of confidence.

Fairy Chixia said, “Is that so? Then how about we make a bet?”

“Alright, it’s rare for Elder to be in such high spirits. How shall we bet?”

Ouyang Pingjiang was genuinely surprised. Fairy Chixia had always been cold and unsmiling. Today, she actually proposed a bet, which was quite unexpected.
