No hope for eternal life

In the end, Xie Xuan and his four companions successfully brought back 1,500 points. This number was very important. It was not too small, but it would not drain the opponent dry and cause them to fight to the death.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and others continued to hunt monsters and accumulate monster pill points.

On the eve of the end of the twelve hours, Mu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no more accidents happened.

Different from the relaxed atmosphere on Mu Changsheng's side, the atmosphere on the Xuansha Sect team's side was a bit solemn.

In the end, it was the captain of the Shen Guguo, Gu Han, who broke the silence first and said calmly: "It's time to get on the road."

Afterwards, Gu Han directly blew up his golden elixir. On the other side, the other five people who were also traitors also blew up their golden elixir. As traitors, once they walked out of the cave, they would definitely have to endure the wrath of the kings. It would be better for them to end their lives.

Don't forget, this is the cave heaven of the God-protected Country. Even if the strong men of the Xuansha Sect want to protect them, they can't do it.

The remaining five members of the Xuansha Sect team looked at the self-destruction of Gu Han and the other six with different expressions, some were indifferent, some were complicated...

Finally, rays of white light descended from the sky, sending the still-living Mu Changsheng and others out of the cave.

His eyes blurred and Mu Changsheng found that he had returned to the wilderness, with Lord Fengze standing opposite him.

Feng Ze smiled and patted Mu Changsheng on the shoulder, praising him and saying: "Good boy, you are a hidden talent. You have made an invaluable contribution to this trial. I will definitely reward you when I return."

Feng Ze had been really worried about what happened to Mu Changsheng and the others outside the cave before, but in the end he saw Mu Changsheng turn the situation around with his own strength and keep the second place.

"Thanks to your majesty, we have lived up to your high expectations." Mu Changsheng said respectfully, and presented the storage bag containing the demon pills with both hands. That was their harvest from the trial, a total of 9,980 demon pill points.

Feng Ze pushed Mu Changsheng's hands back and said, "No need to look. The total score is 9980 points, ranking second. We can see it clearly outside the cave."

There was no need to check the demon pills. The six kings plus Xuan Yutong and others were always paying attention to the situation in the cave and knew the points rankings very well:

First place: Xuansha Sect team, 25,800 points.

Second place: Kamikaze team, 8,980 points.

Third place: Shenyu National Team, 8,750 points.

Fourth place: Shennan Country Team, 6,320 points.

Fifth place: Shen Hu Guo team, 5,260 points.

Sixth place: Shenyan Nation Team, 4,810 points.

Seventh place: Shen Guguo team, zero points.

Mu Changsheng learned the points ranking from Feng Ze, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If they had not snatched 1,500 points from Shen Yan Kingdom, the fifth place would most likely have belonged to Shen Yan Kingdom.

On the other side, Yu Zhan, the king of Shenyu Kingdom, was looking at Xie Xuan and the other two, feeling extremely angry. Originally, they had a good chance of getting the second place, but because of Xie Xuan's series of stupidity, the meat that was about to reach their mouths flew away.

It seems to be just a difference of one place, but it represents a half-full share of a large spiritual stone mine.

Some were happy while others were sad. The two rulers of Shengu and Shenyan looked the most unhappy, as they had no chance of owning this large spirit stone mine.

The King of Shenhu Kingdom, Hu Bingchen, had a relatively calm expression. Although he only got fifth place, he could at least get a 10% share of the spirit stone mine. Moreover, compared to the spirit stone mine in front of him, he was more concerned about the calculations revealed by the Xuansha Sect in this trial.

Finally, it was Hu Bingchen who announced: "The trial is over, and we have finished our work. The subsequent development of the spirit stone mine will be handed over to the people below."

"Haha, then I'll take my leave first, old man, so as not to be an eyesore to you all." Xuan Yutong said with a smile and left with his men.

The remaining six kings stood where they were and were not in a hurry to leave. They exchanged glances and began to communicate with each other, perhaps discussing the spirit stone mine or the Xuansha Sect.

Mu Changsheng stood obediently in place and looked back at the giant tree cave behind him. In this trial, he completed his first real murder with his own hands.

Mu Changsheng thought again of Ying Shiyi's calm expression before his death. For the first time, he realized that death was such a common thing in this world.

Not long after, the six kings finished their discussion, reached some kind of agreement, and left, leaving behind only the silent wasteland.

On the way back, Feng Ze put a hand on Mu Changsheng's shoulder and reminded him: "Don't resist, I will help you heal your wounds."

Naturally, Mu Changsheng had no reason to refuse. He closed his eyes and carefully felt how Feng Ze healed him.

Through his spiritual consciousness, Mu Changsheng saw Feng Ze pouring a stream of golden magic power into his body. As the golden magic power flowed in his body, the backlash from the previous use of forbidden techniques was healing quickly.

This process was actually very quick. Mu Changsheng's injuries were healed almost instantly, and the weakening effects brought by the use of the Dan-Summoning Talisman were also eliminated.

However, after healing the injuries, the golden magic power did not leave, but instead drilled into Mu Changsheng's dantian.

Mu Changsheng was shocked. Dantian is the vital point of a cultivator. He didn't know what Fengze meant.

Feng Ze did not give Mu Changsheng time to think, because his golden magic power quickly reached Mu Changsheng's dantian and instantly wrapped up the ninth-grade purple gold pill in the dantian. It neither harmed Mu Changsheng's golden pill nor left for a long time.

Mu Changsheng's mind calmed down instead. On the one hand, it was almost impossible for Feng Ze to hurt him while he was making achievements. On the other hand, given the difference in cultivation between the two, Mu Changsheng would not have the strength to resist even if he wanted to.

After a while, the golden magic power that wrapped around Mu Changsheng's golden elixir finally dissipated and left Mu Changsheng's body.

Mu Changsheng discovered that his golden elixir was different from before. Not only was there an additional mysterious pattern on the golden elixir, but the magic power emitted by the golden elixir was also more condensed than before.

All signs indicate that Mu Changsheng has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core!

At the same time, Feng Ze's next words also verified Mu Changsheng's guess: "I think your cultivation is almost ready for a breakthrough, so I helped you by the way. This is not considered as forcing things to happen. You don't have to worry about your foundation being unstable."

Mu Changsheng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Jindan realm is different from the foundation-building realm. Even if it is close to a breakthrough, it cannot be completed without several months of hard work. Fengze's help can be said to be just right.

"It's a small matter." Feng Ze waved his hand casually and said, "The top-grade spirit stone reward I promised you before will be quadrupled, a total of 400 top-grade spirit stones. I will have someone send it to you later."

"In addition, the promise I made to you before the trial to go to the Sutra Library also counts. In addition to the celebrity anecdotes and historical records that you can read for free, I also allow you to choose a secret technique to practice at will."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Changsheng thanked him again. Whether it was the four hundred top-grade spirit stones or the opportunity to choose a secret technique for free, he was very excited.

As they were talking, Feng Ze had already brought everyone back to the palace. The place where they landed was the palace villa where Mu Changsheng and others originally lived.

"Li'er, take Ying Twelve back to your own palace first. I have something to discuss with Mu Changsheng." Feng Ze said to Feng Li.

Feng Li left as she was told, but before she left she glanced at Mu Changsheng, because she had roughly guessed what Feng Ze wanted to talk to Mu Changsheng about.

After Feng Li left, only Mu Changsheng and Feng Ze were left. Mu Changsheng became a little nervous as he didn't know what Feng Ze wanted to talk about.

"Mu Changsheng, what do you think of my daughter Feng Li?" Feng Ze asked.
