Although the Metal Element Spiritual Energy has been replenished, the total amount of Spiritual Energy in the Five Elements Spirit Spring is decreasing.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out all the Demon Hearts left by the Demon Generals in the Sumeru Ring, placed them on the ground, and then released the Five Elements Spirit Spring to absorb them.

Soon, the total amount of Spiritual Energy in the Five Elements Spirit Spring was replenished and continuously transformed into Metal Element Spiritual Energy for Wang Xiaoqiang's body refinement use.

The Five Elements Spirit Spring once again helped Wang Xiaoqiang greatly, with the continuous supply of Metal Element Spiritual Energy, Wang Xiaoqiang's Body Refining Boundary was steadily advancing towards the Vajra Body Second Layer.

The path of cultivation is indeed increasingly difficult the higher you go. Wang Xiaoqiang found out that even with the continuous supply of Metal Element Spiritual Energy, the cultivation progress was still quite slow. The Vajra Body Second Layer couldn't be achieved in just a day or two.

Moreover, such rapid cultivation progress requires a large supply of pills.

Soon, all the Demon Hearts and pills in the Sumeru Ring were exhausted.

To continue cultivating, he must leave the New Moon Illusion and go outside to retrieve pills.

This would be an adventurous act.

The New Moon Illusion is absolutely safe, but leaving the New Moon Illusion could very likely lead to detection by Prince Ann's people, making it extremely dangerous.

And in fact, it was indeed very dangerous to go out at this time.

Because the three Guest Elders of Prince Ann and twenty Death Soldiers had already arrived at this place and, after making some deployments, dispersed and searched for Wang Xiaoqiang in pairs.

This kind of search seems like looking for a needle in a haystack at first glance, but it's not.

Because this group of people all have high cultivation bases, their Divine Sense can cover a thousand meters. Searching for cultivators based on Spiritual Power fluctuations makes it very easy.

Moreover, they know that Wang Xiaoqiang is a Sevenfold Body of the Immortal Venerable. During the search, they only need to set the target to be cultivators above the Sevenfold Body of the Immortal Venerable, and such strong figures are quite rare in this area.

This greatly shrinks the scope of the search.

Conversely, Wang Xiaoqiang was unsure about what level of people Prince Ann would send. If Prince Ann were to come in person, he would probably be able to kill Wang Xiaoqiang in an instant.

He had to be cautious!

Wang Xiaoqiang shared his plan to go out and retrieve pills with Zhao Feiyan and Gong Ziyu. Both women strongly opposed it, Zhao Feiyan said, "Little Qiang, let me go for you!"

"That won't do." Wang Xiaoqiang decisively refused.

Gong Ziyu said, "Little Qiang, although the pill stock in our Moon Crescent Palace is not as abundant as that of the Five Spirit Sect, it still has many superior grade pills. Why don't I go and fetch some for you..."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"I can go alone," Gong Ziyu said. "After all, Prince Ann is looking for you, not me..."

"That's not right. I can't be at ease." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "If we're going, we'll go together. If not, then neither of us will go."

"Alright, we two will go together," Gong Ziyu sighed.

"There's no time to lose. Let's take action now. Let's try to be back within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

After they agreed on the plan, Wang Xiaoqiang instructed Zhao Feiyan to stay in the New Moon Illusion, then left the New Moon Illusion with Gong Ziyu and returned to Moon Crescent Palace, heading straight to the Pill Room.

Just as they were rushing to the Pill Room, two figures streaked across the sky like low-flying airplanes.

Suddenly...

The two figures paused and stopped, one of them said, "Hmm? There are two strong figures below, one is a Fivefold Body of the Immortal Venerable, and one is an Eightfold Body of the Immortal Venerable..."

"Hmm? Let's go down and take a look!" One of them decisively said and directly flew down.

The other quickly followed, and while locking tightly on their target with their Divine Sense, flew rapidly downward.

The two flying down were indeed Prince Ann's people.

One was a Guest Elder of the Immortal Sage Realm, and the other was a Death Soldier of the Eightfold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

Just as they flew down, Wang Xiaoqiang and Gong Ziyu happened to have arrived in front of the Pill Storage Room.

At that moment, they clearly felt two overwhelming energies pressing down, both faces changed, Wang Xiaoqiang promptly said, "Ziyu, for your safety, I must place you in my Storage Ring first."

Without waiting for Gong Ziyu to react, Wang Xiaoqiang moved his will and took Gong Ziyu into the Sumeru Ring.

Then, he moved his will again, releasing more than twenty million Five Elements Spirit Springs from his body, making him look like an ordinary person without cultivation.

After that, Wang Xiaoqiang hid in the Pill Room of Moon Crescent Palace.

The Protective Sect Array of Moon Crescent Palace was broken by Fan Renruo a week ago and hadn't been set up again, giving these two people an opportunity. They flew directly to the vicinity of the Pill Storage Room of Moon Crescent Palace.

However, before they had a chance to land on the ground... their target disappeared!

The two were greatly surprised.

They looked at each other in utter bafflement!

Two living people suddenly vanished under Divine Sense.

Logically, no matter how fast the movement technique is, it can't evade Divine Sense.

Moreover, their Divine Sense had just tightly locked the two. After being locked by Divine Sense, disappearing was impossible in the past, even if there was a Storage Ring for hiding, it could only hide one person. How could both disappear?

"Really saw a ghost!" The Death Soldier muttered.

"Don't be anxious, let's search this place," The Guest Elder replied calmly, his eyes flashing brilliantly.

The Death Soldier glanced around and said, "It seems to be a Sect... Will our actions be limited?"

"It doesn't matter, if questioned, just say we accidentally entered here," The Guest Elder instructed.

"Why not kill and enjoy it?" The Death Soldier suggested.

"We mustn't," The Guest Elder said solemnly, "That would only alert them!"

"Alright!" The Death Soldier sighed in frustration.

The two wandered in circles around the Pill Room several times. Besides a few Female Disciples of Moon Crescent Palace, they didn't notice any suspicious persons, showing evident signs of impatience. The Guest Elder said to the Death Soldier, "Let's go!"

They flew up together, and upon reaching a high altitude, the Death Soldier said begrudgingly, "Leaving just like this?"

"Of course not, we aren't leaving, but calling over reinforcements..." The Guest Elder said, taking out a Communication Talisman to gather the others.

In the Pill Room, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't hold his breath after hiding for a long time. He moved his will, absorbing 100 Spirit Springs into his body. Then, moving his will again, the door of the Sumeru Ring opened, all boxes in the Pill Room were opened, and the pills inside surged into the Sumeru Ring Space like a tide.

As the names and levels of these pills were unknown, Wang Xiaoqiang could only store them all into the Sumeru Ring.

In the Ring Space, Feng Biluo and Little Qing paused their cultivation and gathered with Gong Ziyu, discussing Wang Xiaoqiang's current dilemma and possible solutions. Suddenly seeing a mass of pills entering the Sumeru Ring, Gong Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "No need to worry now, he must have escaped danger."
