Chapter 561: This Young Man Has the Bearing of a Land Immortal! Master! Five Elements Pill! Five Elements Great Escape!

Xu Tiannan had originally thought Jiang Li’s talent was already exceptional: his killing intent was heavy, and he possessed the hybrid talents of both human and demon, with extraordinary musculature.

But after witnessing Li Yanchu, he realized that among the younger generation of the Kingdom of Qian, Li Yanchu was truly unparalleled. He could suppress contemporary prodigies with his own power, invincible among peers.

Now, the four Great Yang Spirit experts’ perception of Li Yanchu had shifted once again: from a promising young cultivator not to be underestimated, to a reliable teammate, and now, to a formidable cultivator whose presence commanded a measure of fear.

Even among third-realm cultivators, Li Yanchu’s killing techniques were terrifyingly formidable. Once he fully entered the third realm, they would all likely have to look up to him.

So the others symbolically handed over some of the spoils, giving the lion’s share to Li Yanchu.

Moreover, the four Great Yang Spirit experts were already calculating how to cultivate a good relationship with this young Daoist.

“This young man has the bearing of a Land Immortal. The Yang Spirit realm is probably not even a bottleneck for him.”

Sometimes, when someone was just a little stronger than others, jealousy arose. But once someone reached a certain level of strength, envy vanished, replaced by awe.

For Li Yanchu to have such cultivation at his age, he must either be the reincarnation of a great power or an unparalleled prodigy of the age. Either possibility alone would make him worthy of respect.

He was not just a promising junior; he could very well be some hidden, powerful figure...

After cleaning up the battlefield, the four Great Yang Spirit experts and Li Yanchu returned to Mianzhou City.

Just like that, a calamity that could have destroyed the city had been averted without a trace. But the battle also revealed the terrifying resources of Prince Qing’s Mansion.

To summon so much formidable aid, there had to be a mysterious force backing it. Whether it was Mount Youming or not, Xu Tiannan noted, would require further investigation.

When Li Yanchu returned to his room, two beautiful young women immediately greeted him.

“Master, you’re back!” The elder sister, Nangong Wan’er, said, pleasantly surprised.

Master...

Li Yanchu twitched his mouth. “Don’t call me that.”

Nangong Yu, bolder than her elder sister, directly hugged Li Yanchu’s arm and cooed, “Since you’ve taken us in, you’re our master. We’ll serve you wholeheartedly from now on.”

The two were similar in appearance: the elder sister looked intellectual, while the younger, Nangong Yu, was more alluring. Any ordinary man would surely be distracted by such temptation.

But Li Yanchu, being a cultivator, had self-restraint. Thus, he pulled his arm free from Nangong Yu’s embrace.

“Don’t call me master. I am a monastic. How could it be proper if others hear this?”

“Okay, master,” Nangong Yu replied with a smile.

Li Yanchu was speechless at her words.

“Master, you’re an immortal, and it is our blessing from a previous life to serve you. The bath has been prepared, and we will serve you while you bathe and change,” Nangong Wan’er said softly.

“Yes, I’ve learned massage, and I can help to relieve fatigue. It’s the perfect chance for me to serve you,” Nangong Yu added, winking.

Li Yanchu let out a sigh;

why were the looks in these two women’s eyes so fervent?

In the end, he had to send the Nangong sisters out. He chose to be alone in his room to digest the results of the battle.

Outside, the beautiful and youthful Nangong Yu asked puzzledly, “Sister, has Master never been close to women before?”

“You fool! Master is young and accomplished. Where did you pick up this worldly, flirtatious air? Be careful not to displease him and get us thrown out,” Nangong Wan’er scolded.

“I learned it from the other sisters. They say men are most susceptible to this. Master doesn’t seem inexperienced. I’ll try wearing a sheer dress next time, I’m sure I can handle him,” Nangong Yu said, proudly thrusting her chest forward.

Nangong Wan’er twitched her lips, ignoring her fiery, bold younger sister, and quickly dragged her away from Li Yanchu’s door.

Meanwhile, Li Yanchu had no thoughts of romance. Immediately, he took out the pill from the alchemy furnace, and a strong medicinal aroma instantly filled the room.

The essence of the pill was extraordinarily pure; it was made by refining the hundreds of years of accumulated demonic insects collected by Immortal Jin Yu. Remarkably, it had produced a Five Elements Pill.

Its radiance flowed, exuding a mysterious aura. Clearly, it was a top-tier spirit pill.

If I consume this pill, can I directly break through to the third realm?

Li Yanchu thought.

The Five Elements Pill’s aura was exceptionally pure. After a moment of consideration, he consumed it, and a brilliant light burst from his body. The five-colored radiance enveloped him, soaring straight into the clouds.

This scene caught the attention of every cultivator in Mianzhou City. The four Great Yang Spirit experts glanced at the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky.

“Eh?”

“This is the Five Elements divine light... it resembles that boy Chen Yang’s aura. Wait, no, this aura is even purer!” Vice Minister Xu murmured in surprise.

Chen Yang, a martial officer of the Court of Judicial Review and a member of the royal family, had previously obtained a precious opportunity in the Blissful Land of Mount Jinting.

At this moment, the aura from Li Yanchu was somewhat similar to Chen Yang’s Five Elements constitution, only far stronger.

“Truly, this is an era of great contention,” said Celestial Master Zhao, slightly shaking his head elsewhere.

In the past, a single third-realm Yang Spirit expert could dominate the world. A second-realm Yin Spirit expert at its peak would already be a formidable sect leader. But now, three Yang Spirit experts had fallen in a single day.

Jin Yu, the demonic cultivator, an intermediate third-realm powerhouse, had spent centuries accumulating his strength, all of which Li Yanchu had now transformed into a single pill.

Nowadays, the world is becoming increasingly unpredictable

, Celestial Master Zhao thought.

Earlier, he had wanted to keep Li Yanchu, his former disciple, away from the troubles of Wei City. But now, it seemed Li Yanchu could definitely hold the scene.

“Xuancheng... Xuancheng, I didn’t expect your judgment to be so sharp,” Celestial Master Zhao murmured to himself.

He recalled his younger days with Daoist Xuancheng, sneaking a peek at female disciples bathing in the mountains.

Even back then, Xuancheng’s eyesight was extraordinary. He could spot a mole on someone’s butt from a distance, and if anyone came to catch them, Xuancheng could vanish in a flash.

Now, Xuancheng’s eye for picking disciples was just as remarkable. Celestial Master Zhao wondered if it had been honed by those mischievous experiences in youth...

Lost in memory, Celestial Master Zhao watched as Li Yanchu consumed the Five Elements Pill. Almost instantly, his mind became enlightened, and he mastered the power the pill provided.

“Five Elements Great Escape?” Li Yanchu paused for a moment,

Then his eyes blazed with ecstatic joy. He hadn’t expected that a Five Elements Pill refined from demonic insects would grant him mastery over the Five Elements Great Escape, chiefly Metal Escape Technique, Wood Escape Technique, Fire Escape Technique, Water Escape Technique, Earth Escape Technique.

As a special technique in a cultivator’s combat, the Five Elements Great Escape allowed one to traverse heaven and earth with incredible versatility, far surpassing ordinary Five Elements escape techniques.
