Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 371

Chapter 371 The 17th Hurdle of Lianqi Realm

Black Lotus really was an old guy holding back his words for too many years. He just talked too much.

Su Li rubbed her glabella helplessly, for she didn't find out that Black Lotus was a chatterer earlier. She used to force him to appear, but now, she was afraid that even if she didn't force him, he could not help but talk to her when he got recovered.

“Would you like to keep me explaining to you until the end of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits?”

She had no choice but to ask in this way. Then, Black Lotus ended his questions and said unconfidently, “I… am getting tired. There is one month until the end of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits. You… take your time to practice…”

The ring on her ring finger vanished, and Su Li shook her head, smiling. She slowly closed her eyes and sat into the lake, slightly invoking the energy in her pubic region. Surging waves immediately set off in the lake, wrapping her in the spiritual water. Her whole aura got quickly stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Black Lotus, hiding somewhere inside Su Li's body, sighed for Su Li's luck when he saw this.

There was no bottleneck for Lianqi Realm. After the twelfth hurdle of Lianqi Realm, one could enter the Zhuji Realm at will.

He didn't tell Su Li that over 80 percent of the practitioners in the ancient times, who had gone through the Chuangxing Path, had chosen to break through, once they reached the 12th hurdle of Lianqi Realm. Because… from the 12th hurdle onwards, the amount of spiritual power needed was so huge, and the required spiritual power from the 13th to the 14th hurdle alone was more than the sum of the previous 12 hurdles!

He had once met a stubborn ghost practitioner, who was an unusually lucky one for sure, and was younger than anyone in the clan when he reached the 12th hurdle of Lianqi Realm. He firmly believed that he was the chosen one, and determined to break through, after he reached the 18th hurdle of Lianqi Realm.

With the award from his clan and his own serendipity, he just reached the 16th hurdle of Lianqi Realm after 600 years, while his fellow clansmen had all practiced to the peak of Zhuji Realm. Compared to the golden practicing period he lost, the foundation he had consolidated was insignificant.

Back to Su Li, she encountered a convergent place of nimbus, which had been converging for uncounted years, right after entering the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits. Such luck was even better than that of the inherited disciples of the great sects in ancient times. She directly saved 500 or 600 years of practicing.

“A prodigy at the age of 14, who had reached the 12th hurdle of Lianqi Realm, I'm afraid, was never seen before by anyone except me.”

Black Lotus tutted out of surprise. Its mentality had changed dramatically since the last few months, for it was once a holy treasure for its clan and worshiped by the whole group.

Although he never held a grudge after knowing the fact that Su Li had used extreme measures to make him appear, he had always felt a little uncomfortable. Now, since he had seen Su Li's potential, the discomfort vanished immediately.

He used to think it was a fantasy to get back to his top condition with the help of Su Li, but now he found it becoming realistic…

A half month had passed unknowingly.

The convergent place of nimbus in the cavern had wholly dried up, leaving only a hand-sized white area. Su Li absorbed the last spiritual energy around her and stood up. Her pneuma, which had been condensed to its limit, stalled for an instant and exploded finally!

Boom！

The incomparably powerful strength filled the cavern, and the hard earth and stones were shaken out with cracks. The entire cavern began to quake violently.

“Is the cavern going to collapse?”

Su Li opened her eyes with a captivating light flashing, and in a heartbeat, she held up a transparent shield around her, blocking out all the flying stones.

Sensing the spiritual power was condensed like quicksilver in her pubic region, Su Li felt a little disappointed.

“It's only the peak of the 17th hurdle of Lianqi Realm, so close to the 18th hurdle. What a pity!”

She had thought that she could reach the eighteenth hurdle directly with this convergent place of nimbus in this scale, but she underestimated the level of the ancient cultivation. One should keep in mind that this was a complete convergent place of nimbus, and she could not reach the perfect state of Lianqi Realm after absorbing all the spiritual powers.

It's crazy!

Realizing that the whole cavern would collapse soon, Su Li was about to fly away. Suddenly, she noticed there was something in the hand-sized blinding white area.

Trying to reach for it, Su Li came across a hard object and immediately picked it up. She opened her hand.

It turned out to be a broken copper coin with an odd appearance. The shape was triangular, and there were intricate lines on the edges. The coin didn't seem to originate from Jiuzhou Region.

She eyeballed it for a moment, and her fingertips gently stroked the coin surface. Lines of small and neat bumps could be felt.

“Text on it?”

Su Li got interested. But before she had time to take a closer look, there came a loud bang, and a large piece of rock fell from the top and covered up the dry lake completely.

“Well, well, get out first.”

Su Li had to put the copper coin into her universe ring, but as soon as the copper coin approached the universe ring, it was bounced away by some unknown force.

“Impossible to put it in the universe ring? It's definitely a treasure!”

Su Li was stunned, and put away her disdainful thoughts and carefully hid the copper coin close to her body. She blasted away the rocks blocking her way, and returned to the ground through the tree root tunnel.

Once Su Li got her feet on the ground, she cast a hurricane to sweep away the broken tree root, so that no one could find any difference.

“Now, I should find a secluded place to study the copper coin and wait for the end of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits.”

Su Li's gaze flickered. Her old plan of going to the known convergent place of nimbus was not realistic, so she'd better study the copper coin.

After leaving the dense forest, Su Li made her way to Jitu Tableland. Suddenly, she frowned and stopped to watch two figures approaching fast, one of whom, a slender woman, was Yue Lin, who held a grudge against her.

“Bitch!”

Excitement and resentment flashed over Yue Lin's eyes. She stopped in front of Su Li with an icy smile,

“As a casual practitioner, you are really good at hiding like a rat. Even my hunting insect could not find you. I was going to give up, but you crash into me. All I can say is… you are destined to die in my hand!”

“Junior sister apprentice, is this the female casual practitioner who hurt and humiliated you?”

The tall and handsome young man beside Yue Lin took a look at Su Li and her skinny body. A trace of disinterest flashed over his eyes. His tone was warm with a hint of concern, “Let me help you vent your anger. Step aside, and don't get hurt.”

Yue Lin seemed to be touched to hear what the senior fellow apprentice had said and obediently stood aside. She turned her head to stare at Su Li's face, with her teeth gritted, “This evil female is mighty. Be careful and don't hold your power! And no one will be able to trace back to you, even if you kill her.”

“Junior sister apprentice, don't worry. I…”

When the handsome senior fellow apprentice nodded solemnly, he was interrupted by Su Li, “Hey, you guys, what a pretty interesting rapport! Are you opera singers ready to perform on stage?”

The handsome young man's face was immediately gloomy, and he felt humiliated, “You're looking for death!”

Swish!!

A flying sword burst out from his fingers like a lightning bolt, and darted towards Su Li with his full strength.

Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly and did not flinch. In Yue Lin's eyes, Su Li seemed to be thunderstruck, and Yue Lin stared at her as if she could see Su Li's blood splattering in the next second. She laughed smugly.

“Rubbish! Who gave you the courage to humiliate a disciple of a great sect? You can't even handle a sword attack from my senior fellow apprentice. Now go to h…”

Ding!

Before she could finish her words, she heard a crisp sound of clashing flying swords. The handsome youth saw an indifferent face suddenly appear in front of Su Li, and his face turned pale, so he retreated and asked full of surprise,

“Beixiao Liang? How could it be you?”

The fame of the man was just like the shadow of the tree.

Yue Lin's face also changed dramatically, and she nervously retreated to the handsome young man, “Senior fellow apprentice, is this Beixiao Liang?”

Seeing that the handsome young man nodded his head thoughtfully, Yue Lin's face immediately turned incomparably pale, “Why did this person protect that bitch?”

Beixiao Liang crooked a finger to get the flying sword back into his hand. He lowered his head and caressed the sword, which flickered a cold light, saying indifferently, “Bullying an unarmed and weak woman, is it what the disciples of Zihan Sect always do?”

“Hahaha, senior fellow apprentice, what you said is true. Zihan Sect is full of narrow-minded thieves. Don't let them go this time.”

Su Li followed the sound and found Qi Chen, who carried the ancient sword on his back, walking over with a smile on his face.

Beixiao Liang frowned, “You're not yet a disciple of my sect.”

“But I will be soon.”

Qi Chen smiled cheekily, “Senior fellow apprentice, since you have agreed and my talent is just a tiny bit less than yours, I'm pretty sure that the master will be happy to see me.”

Beixiao Liang moved his mouth slightly and didn't say a word.

When he ran into Qi Chen in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits, he found this person was excellent and decided to introduce him to the sect. But he didn't expect that Qi Chen was extremely cheeky, despite his cold appearance. He could never behave in this way.

“Beixiao Liang, don't push us too far!”

The handsome young man felt insulted, when he saw the two chatting as if they were not there. He was so angry that he blushed and roared in a low voice, “How dare you slander Zihan Sect, even your sect elders don't have the guts. Stay here and wait for the eldest senior fellow apprentice of my sect. He'll give you a lesson of humbleness.”

“Are you sure?”

Beixiao Liang turned around with a smile full of coldness, “Even Chen Xianghan wouldn't dare to speak in the way you did in front of me. You do have some guts and now make your move! Don't let me underestimate Zihan Sect.”

“… You!”

The handsome youth stiffened immediately, and the sweat soaked his vest as he recalled those senior fellow apprentices who had been severely injured by Beixiao Liang.

Suddenly, a loud laughter sounded from a short distance.

“Beixiao Liang, there is no need to put the descendants of my sect on the spot. Why not play with me?”

As the words sounded, a figure in blue appeared suddenly between them.

Seeing the familiar gloomy face in front of him, Beixiao Liang was shocked and said in a deep voice with frowned eyebrows, “Chen Xianghan? How could you get here?!”

Chen Xianghan narrowed his eyes and didn't try to hide the intention to kill in his eyes, “Since I am here, I must have my own way. Beixiao Liang, you and I have never fought before, why don't we fight a duel here?”

Beixiao Liang fell silent, for Chen Xianghan's bone age should have been over a thousand year. How on earth did he sneak into the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits? Moreover, what made it more difficult for him was that Chen Xianghan's pneuma had already been at Jindan Realm!
