Chapter 368: Refining the Power of Origin

Huangliang Township, outside the gate.

Yan Xi stood there silently, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the Huangliang Township mentioned by Yan Zhan?! I don't know which great being is responsible for this."

In his cloudy pupils, a terrifying ancient city floating in the endless illusory dark sea was reflected. Although he didn't feel any threat from it, Yan Xi felt depressed and even terrified for no reason.

It was as if this ancient city was a vast and terrifying world.

And in his palm, the yellow talisman that brought him here quietly turned into ashes and scattered, as if it had never existed.

Staring at this scene in a daze, Yan Xi pursed his lips and sighed heavily:

"Alas, what a pity."

After that, he staggered towards the interior of the ancient city in front of him.

Tap tap --

From the beginning of its opening to now, the bank has finally welcomed its third guest.

Behind the counter.

The shopkeeper incarnated by Huang Liang first glanced at the old man who came in, his eyes quietly stayed on the other's hand for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "What do you want to exchange?"

Yan Xi's expression was stunned for no reason, as if he was not used to the straightforward behavior of the mysterious existence in front of him.

Then he saw him react quickly, immediately arched his hands, and said rather stiffly:

"This...this sir, may I ask if your bank can exchange for innate purple qi?"

Although the person in front of him was just the shopkeeper of a bank in this mysterious ancient city, Yan Xi still did not dare to despise him at all.

And on the opposite side.

Innate purple qi? Huang Liang couldn't help but reveal a strange smile on his face.

He did not answer the other party's question directly, but asked again: "How much luck do you have?"

"This," Yan Xi hesitated for a while, but then thought of the purpose of his trip, so he answered honestly: "Reporting to the adults, it's just 20 billion, which is all the wealth of my family. I wonder if it can be exchanged for innate purple qi?"

At the end of the words, Yan Xi's tone seemed to have a bit of pleading.

He knew that this little luck could not buy the legendary innate purple qi, but the problem was that no matter how much more they had, they could not take out.

In desperation, Yan Xi had to give it a try.

What if?

After all, it was related to the survival of the Yan family, and whether he could go further and appreciate the scenery of the True Immortal of the Dao. He didn't want to give up hope.

Even if this hope was extremely slim.

Of course, if it really didn't work, Yan Xi had to settle for the second best and exchange enough acquired purple qi for a breakthrough. But compared to the innate purple qi, the acquired purple qi cannot guarantee that one can quickly enter the Hedao realm.

If it were normal days, it would be fine.

But now, the situation is precarious, and he himself is in a state of exhaustion. Whether he can wait is still uncertain.

Just as Yan Xi was thinking.

The next words of the shopkeeper opposite him made his heart fall to the bottom.

"A mere 20 billion cannot be exchanged for the innate purple qi."

He raised his head with disappointment, but just met a half-smile look.

But at this time.

"But--" Huang Liang stretched out his voice.

"Please explain it clearly, sir!"

A bright light suddenly bloomed in Yan Xi's eyes, and his voice was full of surprise. Because of the ups and downs of emotions, the aura permeating his body also fluctuated violently uncontrollably.

"Opportunity, there is still a chance, we must seize it!"

He roared in his heart.

Yan Xi knew very well that this was the only chance for himself and even the Yan family.

"Take out the things in your storage space."

Huang Liang said lightly, not noticing the complex thoughts of Yan Xi opposite him.

Or rather, he noticed it, but didn't care at all.

After all, let alone a mere cultivator who hasn't even reached the half-step of the Dao, what if he is a real Dao Immortal? Before, on the Paradise Island, the number of Dao Immortals and even Yuhua Immortals who died directly or indirectly in his hands, weren't there a few?

...

...

Time passed by little by little.

"Then, sir, I will take my leave now."

Yan Xi bowed respectfully to Huang Liang behind the counter, with an excitement and gratitude in his voice that was difficult to describe in words.

He tightly grasped the storage magic weapon in his hand. Because he was too strong, his palm had already felt a tingling sensation, but Yan Xi was still reluctant to let go.

The reason was that it contained the hope of his own breakthrough in cultivation!

Yan Xi had never thought that he could actually get the innate purple energy on this trip. All this happened too quickly and too unreal, making him feel as if he was in a dream.

"Yan Xi, bring the things I want as soon as possible, don't delay."

Huang Liang said calmly, without a trace of emotion in his words.

As the words fell.

Yan Xi shuddered subconsciously, and his mind returned to reality from ecstasy.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, and asked carefully: "I dare not deceive you, my lord. I don't have the Huangliang Talisman at the moment. When I gather 99 demon insect corpses one day, how can I hand it over to you?"

"I will call you in then."

"Yes!"

Yan Xi's heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his head and replied, not daring to say anything more.

The information revealed by this sentence was a bit scary.

Not long after.

Behind the counter, looking at the old back, Huang Liang's face unconsciously showed an intriguing smile.

"Two billion luck is two points of merit, which is really a huge profit. Tsk, tsk, the original decision was right."

...

...

After an unknown period of time, Huangliang Township fell into silence again.

However, the depths of Huangliang Realm were extremely lively.

At this time, a series of inquiring or curious eyes were cast from other natal realms and fell directly under Huang Liang.

There lay a thousand-foot-long demon insect corpse quietly.

"It's strange that this thing can cause the Hunyuan Immortal Core to move."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, Zhang Jing's spiritual incarnation quietly appeared beside Huang Liang, and said in amazement.

Huang Liang slowly turned around: "I didn't expect that such a small matter would alarm my brother."

"This is not a small matter, Taoist friend, please start quickly."

Zhang Jing urged with a smile, with a trace of seriousness on his face.

He had a hunch that this strange demon insect corpse that was delivered to his door would probably bring him a great surprise.

"Yes, Taoist friend Huang Liang, don't hesitate any more, start quickly."

"Daoist friend, I have spoken."

"..."

Instantly, other Taoist bodies also urged.

"Good!"

Huang Liang nodded, and then his mind moved, and the already restless Hunyuan Immortal Core phantom suddenly solidified bit by bit.

As soon as it appeared, it could not wait to swallow all the corpses of the demon insects lying on the ground.

The next moment.

Buzz! Buzz!

The surface of the Hunyuan Immortal Core suddenly burst out with thousands of immortal lights, and for a moment it was like a scorching sun, emitting a huge roar that resounded through the world.

After a few breaths.

A trace of the supreme breath rose from the inside of the Hunyuan Immortal Core and condensed into three colorless crystals like rice grains.

"Original power!"

Zhang Jing's eyes widened.

After reacting, he hurriedly communicated with the jade talisman, and then saw that the three crystals condensed by the rich original power were forcibly taken away by an invisible big hand.

The next moment.

On the jade talisman, the number behind the general experience column began to grow rapidly.
