Chapter 272: Chapter 256: Prince, It’s Not Like I Haven’t Killed One Before! (Double-Length)

In the courtyard.

Song Changming consolidated his newly broken through Inner Qi cultivation.

The newly formed eighth Qi Vortex within his body became increasingly solid, not appearing superficial.

More than an hour later, he ended the circulation of Inner Qi, and Song Changming opened his eyes, a flash of light appearing and disappearing, hidden in his eyes.

"As expected, just as Nan Wuji said, this environment restricts Martial Artists’ cultivation..." Song Changming sighed softly and shook his head.

Previously, he didn’t feel it deeply, but now that he had broken through to the Eighth Layer Qi Refining Realm, the feeling of environmental constraint became instantly intense.

Trying to condense the last Qi Vortex within the limited space of the body to achieve perfection in the Qi Refining Realm is simply as hard as ascending to the heavens!

This is akin to previously, every part of Inner Qi refinement might require consuming ten parts of Natural Qi.

And now, every part of Inner Qi refinement requires consuming a hundred parts or even more of Natural Qi.

If the Natural Qi in the large environment was more pure and rich, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce this time-consuming and laborious consumption.

But unfortunately, even grand Spirit Lands like Sword Cliff and Wangyue Mountain cannot satisfy Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang.

Therefore, only by going to the Ancient Abyss Country can one seek a better Martial Arts cultivation environment.

"Once I have stabilized my cultivation realm, it’s time to visit the Abyss in the Outer Domain..." Song Changming made plans for the future in his heart.

As for the Corpse Refining Sect, he already knew that this Outer Domain sect had backing from sects in Ancient Abyss Country.

He wasn’t sure how close the relationship was between the Outer Domain Corpse Refining Sect and the main Corpse Refining Sect in Ancient Abyss Country.

If he were to attack the mountain gate, wanting to extinguish the sect, in desperation would they have defensive means beyond his understanding.

"Perhaps at that time, I can probe them a bit..." Song Changming pondered silently.

Previously, when he killed Xu Baishu, the Corpse Refining Sect could still be considered a potential enemy.

But afterward, when the Corpse Refining Sect sent a group of experts to raid him at night, they were already a confirmed enemy.

For enemies, especially confirmed enemies, his way of handling them has always been to eliminate them completely to remove future troubles.

"Master, after inventory, among the bodies of those Corpse Refining Sect members, the most valuable items are the Mist Gold, totaling about fifty pieces, and some pills with unknown components, which need further identification." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Song Ping’an unpacked the sealed bag, and immediately a burst of Scorching Mist Energy wafted out.

The bag contained a pile of Mist Gold.

"Not bad, it’s an unexpected bonus." Song Changming glanced at it and nodded.

Originally, he didn’t care much about the loot from the Corpse Refining Sect members, after all, they came to assassinate at night, unlikely carrying a pile of treasures, giving you a game-like experience of beating monsters for loot.

The Mist Gold they carried was presumably either needed to charge the Corpse Puppets or to summon Fog Beasts as a trump card.

In the end, those Mist Gold had no use when Song Changming swiftly eliminated them with one slash.

The Mist Gold was quite useful to him.

Absorbing the Scorching Mist Energy inside could accelerate his Qi Refining cultivation, the efficiency of which is far better than absorbing external Natural Energy.

However, in the past, one piece of Mist Gold could enable him to cultivate for ten to fifteen days, and even Mist Gold rich in Scorching Mist Energy could sustain cultivation for nearly a month.

But as his Qi Refining cultivation continued to climb, the consumption speed of Mist Gold also kept accelerating.

Now, one piece of Mist Gold could hardly last him three or two days before the Scorching Mist Energy within would be exhausted by him.

His Qi Refining cultivation was too high, and these seemingly numerous fifty pieces of Mist Gold, in reality, would not suffice for long if used for cultivation.

"Master, today many invitations have been sent, from either Martial Realm experts or local powerful and influential people, all wishing to meet you." Song Ping’an suddenly said.

Song Changming’s astonishing battle drew attention inevitably.

"As usual, say I am in secluded cultivation and do not see outsiders." Song Changming waved his hand, not inquiring who these influential people were.

With his current strength and realm, he didn’t need to deliberate over this, entrusting Song Ping’an to handle it.

Even if others were displeased, they dared not cause him trouble.

Under the heavens, many people wished to see him, but he couldn’t possibly meet each one, so he chose to see none, finding peace instead.

"Okay." Song Ping’an had long been used to this, rejecting them all courteously.

Even the rejection dialogue was familiar to him; he could deliver it effortlessly and smoothly, leaving room for courtesy on both sides.

A few days later, after this matter was thoroughly spread.

The most obvious and significant impact is that the members of the Outer Realm Evil Cult infiltrating various parts of Da Lai, upon learning this, perhaps having received sect orders, chose to withdraw, fleeing Da Lai overnight!

This outcome was unexpected for everyone.

Even Song Changming himself did not anticipate that his slash, seemingly against the Corpse Refining Sect, actually struck deep into the heart of every Outer Realm sect and cult, leaving a blade hanging above their heads!

Fearing one day, Song Changming might come and slash them as well.

Thus, the decade-long fierce war between the Da Lai Martial Realm and the Outer Domain was inadvertently and naturally brought to a halt by Song Changming in this manner.

Song Changming was like a nuclear weapon of the Da Lai faction; after his appearance, his deterrence was fully realized.

Compared to the Sword Venerable Nan Wuji of the past, who was solely devoted to martial arts, indifferent to worldly affairs.
