Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Time flies by, and now there are only a few days left until the end of the trial.

During this period, Chen Xu used his divine sense to find many hidden rooms and gained a lot.

The red crystal storage bags distributed by the sect already contain 249 red crystals and a number of rare and precious materials.

As for Zhang Erniu and Xiao Muwan's private storage bags, Chen Xu plans to deal with them after the trial ends.

At this moment, he was cautiously making his way along a narrow passage.

The view ahead suddenly opened up, seemingly leading to a larger cavern space.

But just as he was about to step into the cave, four figures suddenly appeared from the side, blocking him at the exit of the passage in a semi-encircling formation.

Chen Xu paused, sighed helplessly, and muttered to himself, "Here we go again... Can't people just have a little peace and quiet while they're on their way?"

He glanced at the four people indifferently, secretly assessing their strength.

Two are at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and two are at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He wasn't particularly strong, but he understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, Chen Xu did not want to reveal his strength when dealing with these people.

The burly man at the head of the group looked at Chen Xu and shouted in a rough voice:

"Kid, be smart and hand over the storage bag containing the Crimson Crystal, and we brothers won't make things difficult for you and will let you leave safely."

"otherwise..."

He weighed the broadsword in his hand, his threat obvious:

"Don't blame us for loosening your muscles and keeping it safe for you!"

A tall, thin cultivator behind him chuckled and chimed in:

"Exactly, seeing that you made it this far all by yourself, you must have some skill."

"But if we brothers join forces, you won't get away with this. Hand it over obediently, and you'll avoid any physical suffering."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "Fine, since we've run into you, then you're just unlucky..."

However, Chen Xu did not use the Concentrating Spirit Thrust. He had no deep-seated hatred for these people, so it was not necessary to use a killing move.

Without uttering a single wasted word, he directly unleashed dozens of talismans, enveloping the four of them.

Although it's a bit wasteful, the storage bags for these four people combined should be enough to recoup the cost.

"Oh no! It's Fu Xiu! Hide!" The four people's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly tried to defend themselves.

However, the narrow space severely limited their ability to dodge.

Two cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining were the first to be hit. Their protective spiritual light shattered, and they screamed as they were struck by several spells and fell unconscious.

The burly man at the head of the group and another cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining had higher cultivation levels and desperately activated their magical artifacts and protective spells to resist.

"Damn it! We've kicked a hornet's nest!" The burly man was both shocked and furious. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary lone disciple was actually a very powerful talisman master.

They had encountered talisman masters before, but one like Chen Xu, who could simultaneously control nearly a hundred talismans in battle, was unheard of.

Just as Chen Xu took out another stack of talismans, the burly man at the head of the group panicked and shouted:

"Stop! Fellow Daoist, stop!"

"We four brothers admit defeat, and beg you, fellow Daoist, to show mercy!"

Seeing that the talisman controlled by Chen Xu had stopped attacking but remained suspended in mid-air, the burly man hurriedly added:

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. We are willing to give you half of the Crimson Crystal."

"And those talismans you just used must have suffered considerable damage. We are willing to compensate you with spirit stones and rare and precious materials!"

Chen Xu hadn't expected this person to be so pragmatic.

He was never a cruel person. They were all from the same sect and were willing to make amends, so there was no need to kill them all.

Chen Xu then put away the talisman and said calmly, "Okay."

……

After receiving the gift from heaven, Chen Xu now possessed 299 red crystals.

It seems like securing the Breakthrough Pill for the top five is a sure thing.

Chen Xu was already looking forward to the end of the trial, wondering what kind of Hextech rune he would draw after successfully breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Upon reaching the depths of the cave, one finds an open area. Several passageways lead to this area from all sides.

In the center, five sandalwood boxes float above a stone platform.

On either side of the stone platform, two groups of cultivators were facing off.

Wang Tiezhu, Lin Miaoyin, and an unknown man at the sixth level of Qi Refining were standing together.

Opposite them were five fierce-looking cultivators, all with the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Fellow Daoists..." A scarred man on the other side looked at Wang Tiezhu and his two companions, his voice hoarse.

"The treasure will be obtained by those who are destined to receive it, but strength is also required."

"There are only three of you. You'd be better off leaving than suffering physical pain."

Wang Tiezhu's face flushed with anger, and he roared, "Bullshit! We were the ones who cleared out most of the puppets here, why should we leave?"

Lin Miaoyin's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. She forced herself to remain calm and said gently:

"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. In the trial grounds, everyone must rely on their own abilities."

"Now that the three of us have arrived, how can we possibly leave empty-handed?"

Scarface's face darkened completely: "It seems... you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of being polite."

As the other party approached step by step, Lin Miaoyin felt a sudden urge to retreat.

Although I am unwilling, I am outnumbered and should not take the lead.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of Chen Xu, who had just arrived, and was somewhat surprised:

In the later stages of this trial, almost everyone huddled together for warmth, making it difficult for lone individuals to persevere.

This Fellow Daoist Chen has managed to hold on this long; he must be quite remarkable.

Lin Miaoyin's mind raced, and she immediately called out, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as Chen Xu appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

When Wang Tiezhu saw Chen Xu, a look of joy flashed across his face: "Junior Brother Chen!"

Chen Xu slowly emerged from the shadows, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two opposing sides without uttering a word.

Lin Miaoyin's words were simply an attempt to drag me into this mess...

However, before the trial began, he borrowed a valuable pill from Lin Miaoyin on credit, which was a favor he owed her.

Moreover, Lin Miaoyin is an alchemist with a promising future, and he might need her help someday.

Wang Tiezhu has been quite considerate of me and has a lineage in weapon crafting, so his future looks promising.

If it's safe to do so, I wouldn't mind lending a hand.

When the scarred man saw Chen Xu approaching, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Anyone who can come here alone at this time is either a fool or a master.

Then he looked at Chen Xu and said:

"Fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"It's best not to get involved in this mess..."

Chen Xu remained calm, as if he hadn't heard Scarface's threat.

Lin Miaoyin hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

"These five men are unreasonable and attempted to rob us by force."

"If you are willing to lend a helping hand, you may choose two of the five wooden boxes on this stone platform!"

Upon hearing this, Scarface's expression changed, and he immediately drew his knife and charged forward, ready to strike first.

"Brothers, let's charge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual power of the four cultivators behind him erupted instantly, each wielding a magical weapon and attacking Chen Xu and the others.
