Looking at Wang Ruoxie's delicate face, Ouyang Ling sighed silently in his heart.

During the entrance examination, Wang Ruoxie was only detected to have a Yellow Level Third Grade bloodline, which greatly disappointed him, so he dismissed the idea of taking him as a direct disciple.

At that time, many people believed that Wang Ruoxie's future achievements would be extremely limited and might even halt at the early stage of the Element Transformation Realm.

However, what no one expected was that in just a few days, Wang Ruoxie not only broke through to the Element Transformation Realm but also directly advanced his cultivation to the Second Layer of the Element Transformation Realm.

Most importantly, he managed to slay a Ghost-faced Killer of the Blood Evil Sect with his cultivation at the Second Layer.

It's important to know that each of the thirty-six Ghost-faced Killers of the Blood Evil Sect possesses cultivation at least at the middle stage of the Element Transformation Realm, with the lowest being at the Fourth Layer.

What's more, the Ghost-faced Killers of the Blood Evil Sect have extremely terrifying assassination techniques. Even he himself must proceed with extreme caution when facing one of these killers.

At this moment, Ouyang Ling couldn't help but regret. If he had known that Wang Ruoxie had such monstrous talent even with a low bloodline level and such a terrifying cultivation speed, he would have surely taken him as a direct disciple during the entrance examination.

However, he also knew that even if he were willing to accept Wang Ruoxie as a disciple now, the latter probably would not agree.

It could even be said that currently, in the entire Celestial Sword Sect, apart from the Sect Leader and a few Supreme Elders, no one is qualified to be Wang Ruoxie's master.

"I got lucky, that Ghost-faced Killer was only at the Fourth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and said.

"Killing someone at the Fourth Layer with cultivation at the Second Layer is not as simple as good luck."

Ouyang Ling said somewhat speechlessly.

"I didn't expect you to break through to the Second Layer of the Element Transformation Realm."

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie with a gleam of surprise in her eyes and spoke.

"After consuming dozens of Blood Essence Fruits, if I still couldn't break through, wouldn't that be too useless of me."

Wang Ruoxie smiled gently and replied.

Dozens of Blood Essence Fruits are enough for an ordinary person at the First Layer of the Element Transformation Realm to easily break through to the Third Layer, or even directly to the Fourth Layer, reaching the middle stage of the Element Transformation Realm.

However, his physique is special, and his Sea of Qi is several times that of ordinary martial cultivators, making cultivation far more challenging and requiring resources several times more than usual martial cultivators.

Of course, if he hadn't suppressed his cultivation to stabilize his foundation, he could have directly broken through to the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm.

"Once you have consumed those Blood Essence Fruits, you'll probably at least break through to the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm."

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Tang Miaoyin and said.

"Well, breaking through to the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm shouldn't be difficult, and if I'm lucky, I might even push into the Fourth Layer."

Tang Miaoyin nodded and smiled.

"You've both managed to obtain such heavenly materials and earthly treasures as Blood Essence Fruits, so it seems you must have gained quite a lot from your visit to the Underground Blood Cave."

Ouyang Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of envy as he spoke to Tang Miaoyin and Wang Ruoxie.

Blood Essence Fruits are such rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that one can only encounter them by chance.

Even though his cultivation had reached the Seventh Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, stepping into the late stage, Blood Essence Fruits would still have a significant effect on him.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Sword Sect does not have Blood Essence Fruits available for direct exchange using points.

"Elder Ouyang, if you want, I could give you a few Blood Essence Fruits."

Tang Miaoyin cast her gaze toward Ouyang Ling and said.

"No need to give them. I'll trade with you using Sect Points—ten thousand points per fruit. How about that?"

Ouyang Mou said with a look of joy.

"Alright."

Tang Miaoyin nodded.

She had more than thirty Blood Essence Fruits in total, so giving a few to Ouyang Ling was not a big deal, especially since ten thousand points per fruit was not a bad deal for her.

Subsequently, Tang Miaoyin took out five Blood Essence Fruits and handed them to Ouyang Ling.

After receiving the Blood Essence Fruits, Ouyang Ling transferred fifty thousand points to Tang Miaoyin.

After completing the transaction, the three of them headed toward Inquiry Sword Peak.

Along the way, Ouyang Ling inquired about what had transpired in the Underground Blood Cave from Tang Miaoyin and Wang Ruoxie.

"I didn't expect that the Blood Demon Sect still had remnants alive."

Learning that the Blood Demon King was actually transformed from Zhou Ling, a core disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, Ouyang Ling couldn't help but feel shocked.

He was naturally aware of the Blood Demon Sect and was even more cognizant of its terror.

When he had delved into many of the sect's ancient records, he had come across accounts of the Blood Demon Sect.

The people of the Blood Demon Sect practiced an evil art that allowed them to devour others' flesh to enhance their own cultivation power.

It was precisely because of this that the Blood Demon Sect waged wars across the entire Eastern Domain.

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Sect, everyone was a resource for their cultivation. By continuously devouring the flesh of others, they could rapidly increase their cultivation power.

If it weren't for the intervention of a mysterious powerful figure who completely annihilated the Blood Demon Sect, the entire Eastern Domain might have already turned into a wasteland.

Although Ouyang Ling hadn't accompanied them this time, he could still sense the dangers from the words of Tang Miaoyin and Wang Ruoxie. He couldn't help but feel some fear at the thought that if Zhou Ling, the one who became the Blood Demon King, had broken through to the Innate Realm, the East Victory Kingdom and even the entire Eastern Domain might be facing an enormous crisis.

"You are actually a Confucian Cultivator?"

Upon hearing that Wang Ruoxie had used Vast Righteous Qi to annihilate Zhou Ling, Ouyang Ling turned his gaze towards Wang Ruoxie with surprise and asked.

Although the martial arts world was currently thriving, there were still many other paths of cultivation, and they were not inferior to martial arts. In some respects, they even had powers that martial arts could not compare to.

Confucian cultivators, nurturing Vast Righteous Qi, could subdue all evil things.

Legend has it that powerful imperial dynasties were protected by Great Scholars, and under the shelter of Vast Righteous Qi, all demons and monsters would retreat.

He hadn't expected that a Confucian Cultivator would emerge in the East Victory Kingdom, let alone one that belonged to their Celestial Sword Sect.

"By fortune, I obtained a Confucian Cultivation inheritance."

Wang Ruoxie smiled slightly and said.

While talking, the three quickly returned to the Celestial Sword Sect.

Tang Miaoyin immediately returned to her dwelling to prepare to consume and refine those Blood Essence Fruits, aiming for a breakthrough to the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm.

Having obtained five Blood Essence Fruits, Ouyang Ling was naturally eager to consume and refine them.

As for Wang Ruoxie, he went to the Martial Arts Hall to prepare for an assessment and then to advance to an Inner Sect Disciple.

Earlier, Tang Miaoyin had transferred twenty thousand points to him. Although the Six-Star sect mission only rewarded five thousand points, and his half share would have been only two thousand five points, Tang Miaoyin insisted that if not for Wang Ruoxie, she would not have been able to obtain those Blood Essence Fruits, or even walk out of the Underground Blood Cave alive.

Thus, the twenty thousand points were considered his compensation.

Wang Ruoxie didn't refuse; he indeed needed sect points very much right now, considering that to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, one needs not only the appropriate cultivation but also ten thousand points.

At this time, many people had already gathered in the Martial Arts Hall.

"Wang Ruoxie, you're finally back."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang sharply behind Wang Ruoxie.
