"Boss, when we return to the Ninth City, I'll find a way to notify the old man. Hopefully, he can help mediate a little, at least to buy you more time."

Qian Duoduo looked at Wang Ruoxie and spoke.

"Then I must trouble Uncle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie did not refuse, as he indeed needed some time now.

If he had enough time to enhance his cultivation power, he was confident that even if he faced Marquis Zhuge in the future, there might still be a chance.

After a brief farewell, Xiao Ningyue, Qian Duoduo, Si Qing, and others followed the route back towards the Ninth City.

"From now on, it's time for me to fully enhance my cultivation power."

Watching the figures gradually disappear, Wang Ruoxie thought to himself.

The reason he did not return to the Ninth City together with them was because he urgently needed to enhance his cultivation power and did not want to waste even a moment, and because, to him, the essence blood of the Blood Spirit Race was superior to any resources.

Thus, even though he had acquired hundreds of thousands of merits, he still did not intend to return to the Dragon Guard Office in the Ninth City to exchange for cultivation resources.

Furthermore, he did not want to return yet because he did not wish to confront the Zhuge Family too early.

Now, it had been half a month since he killed Zhuge Ming, and the Zhuge Family must have received the news. Even if Marquis Zhuge wouldn't personally come to the Outer Battlefield for revenge, they would definitely send strong practitioners from the Zhuge Family to take his life.

If he returned to the Ninth City, he would likely run into the Zhuge Family's strong practitioners, causing great trouble and possibly implicating Xiao Ningyue, Qian Duoduo, and others.

If he remained outside the city, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for the Zhuge Family's strong practitioners to find him, which would be impossible in a short time.

What he needed most now was time. Given enough time, he could quickly enhance his cultivation power to eventually possess the strength to confront the Zhuge Family.

However, currently consuming the essence blood of ordinary Acupoint Condensation Realm Blood Spirits no longer had much effect, so he planned to venture alone to the deepest part of the Outer Battlefield to hunt higher-level Blood Spirits.

This was one reason he let Xiao Ningyue, Qian Duoduo, and others return to the Ninth City first. If he were alone, even when faced with formidable enemies, he had confidence in escaping unscathed.

Without delay, Wang Ruoxie's figure trembled as he used the Cloud Soaring Step to continue flying forward at full speed.

With his current Seventh Layer Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivation and using the Cloud Soaring Step, his speed was far faster than before. Although still not as swift as instant teleportation, even an early Purple Mansion Realm practitioner might not match his speed.

After advancing for about several hours, Wang Ruoxie's figure stopped because he sensed a strong fluctuation in a mountain range ahead.

"Such intense fluctuation; either a Purple Mansion Realm battle is underway, or a high-tier heavenly material and earthly treasure is about to appear."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed, and he pondered silently.

After a moment of contemplation, his figure quivered slightly, landing within the mountain range and heading directly toward the source of the fluctuation.

A moment later, Wang Ruoxie found himself beneath a towering ancient tree.

This gigantic tree, deserving the name Tree King, stretched its branches and leaves widely over a vast area, practically blotting out the sun.

Moreover, numerous enormous vines hung from the ancient tree, resembling countless giant pillars supporting it between heaven and earth.

"This ancient tree... is indeed intriguing."

A flash of surprise passed through Wang Ruoxie's eyes as he muttered to himself.

He could naturally perceive the powerful fluctuation emanating from the ancient tree.

Furthermore, the closer he got to the tree, the denser the spiritual qi in the surrounding space became.

Especially within a ten-meter radius around the tree, the spiritual qi was so dense it seemed to have become foggy.

If one were to cultivate here, the rate of improvement would undoubtedly be exceptionally fast, even without the assistance of treasure resources.

"Who are you, don't you know this is the territory of the Cyan Wood Sect?"

At this moment, several figures descended rapidly from the ancient tree, landing before Wang Ruoxie.

All of them were dressed in pale green robes and appeared to be in their twenties, yet their cultivation levels were at least mid-stage Acupoint Condensation Realm.

Particularly, the handsome youth at the forefront had achieved the level of the Purple Mansion Realm. Although he was only at the First Layer of the Purple Mansion Realm, he was far beyond the Acupoint Condensation Realm in comparison.

One must know that only after opening all acupoints in the body can one transform the Essence Pill into a Purple Mansion, forming a Celestial Cycle within.

Upon breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, one can rely on the Purple Mansion to connect with the Heaven and Earth Bridge, continuously washing the body and purifying mana, significantly enhancing strength.

"The Cyan Wood Sect?"

Wang Ruoxie slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at the individuals before him, surprised to find that even on the Outer Battlefield, sects existed.

For thousands of years, battles between the Human Race and the Blood Spirit Race had hardly ceased. In fact, the Outer Battlefield was like a burial ground where countless young masters and geniuses from both sides had fallen.

He initially thought that no sects or families would exist on the Outer Battlefield, yet unexpectedly encountered people from a sect deep in the mountains.

However, he could tell that these individuals, like him, were of the Human Race, not the Blood Spirit Race. He just didn't know if they were from the Yuanwu Continent or local native humans.

Though he had been on the Outer Battlefield for half a month, he knew little about it. If these people were native humans, he could perhaps obtain some information from them.

"Yes, this Ancient Bodhi Tree is the location of our Cyan Wood Sect."

A young man behind the handsome youth spoke with a tone of arrogance directed at Wang Ruoxie.

"This is the Ancient Bodhi Tree?"

Upon hearing the young man's words, Wang Ruoxie's pupils constricted. According to the information he had, the Bodhi Wood Heart, one of the Five Elements Treasures, was said to originate from the Ancient Bodhi Tree.

"Mu Yu, you shut up."

The handsome youth sharply glared at the young man before turning to Wang Ruoxie, saying, "No matter who you are, the Cyan Wood Sect does not welcome you. You had best leave quickly, or do not blame us for being unkind."

Hearing this, Wang Ruoxie chuckled inwardly. The young man was named Mu Yu; it was no wonder he had little strategy, easily revealing the secret of the Ancient Bodhi Tree that could endanger the entire Cyan Wood Sect.

He was naturally not afraid of the handsome youth's threat. With his current cultivation power, confronting the handsome youth with only First Layer Purple Mansion Realm should pose no issue.

Now that he learned this ancient tree might be the Ancient Bodhi Tree capable of producing the Bodhi Wood Heart, he certainly wouldn't let it slip away easily.

Having already obtained the Golden Light Profound Ganoderma, acquiring the Bodhi Wood Heart would give him two out of the Five Elements Treasures. He would only need to find the remaining three to craft the Five Elements Creation Pill.
