Chapter 412: Break the Shackles

In addition to his own powerful abilities, Qi Ran also had a strong family background.

His Clan had also won a Grade 5 pill at an auction, so after using the Meridians Nourishing Pill, he could accurately judge that although this pill was only Grade 4, but it really had the effect of a Grade 5 pill as Lou Mu Yan said.

And such a pill had never appeared on Tian’ling Continent before. He could already foresee just how many people would come buy this Meridians Nourishing Pill if Lou Mu Yan sold it.

Therefore, he wanted to buy more when she urgently needed contribution points, so that he could not only use some himself, but also save a few for the Clan’s several rising geniuses of the generation.

“Then how many do you want to exchange first?” Qi Ran’s thoughts, Lou Mu Yan understood. She indeed really needed contribution points right now.

The Spiritual Herbs she accelerated in growth in her ice bangle had already matured, so after she returned, she could refine a batch of Grade 4 and 5 pills. Exchanging some right now wouldn’t affect her.

She took very little pills herself, and most of them entered the mouths of her prodigal Spirit Pets.

“Can I exchange ten?” Qi Ran said a relatively reserved number. He could now also guess that the Meridians Nourishing Pill was probably refined by Lou Mu Yan herself.

“Sure.” Lou Mu Yan directly tossed a larger medicinal bottle to Qi Ran, “Don’t worry Senior Brother, you definitely didn’t lose on this pill.”

“Haha, although this pill is only Grade 4, but it does have the effect of a Grade 5 after I take it. It’s Junior Sister who’s losing out.”

Qi Ran took the pill and quickly deducted another fifty thousand contribution points over.

The two people who were cultivating nearby Lou Mu Yan and Qi Ran glanced at each other and found the shock in each other’s eyes. To make even Young Master Qi say such words, the pill definitely was extraordinary.

“Junior Sister Lou, I wonder if us brothers can also exchange a few from you?” The more mature of the two said with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan turned her head and saw the two brothers—who looked alike but had different temperaments—looking at her.

“They’re twin brothers, ranked fourteenth and fifteenth on the Rising Soul Stele. They’re also named Gao Zhe and Gao Fei.” Qi Ran introduced to Lou Mu Yan in a whisper.

Lou Mu Yan nodded, looked at Gao Zhe and said: “I don’t have many Meridians Nourishing Pills right now either and can only exchange four to you both.”

“Alright, four is good.” Gao Zhe’s eyes revealed pleasant surprise. If it really did have Grade 5 effects, then them brothers also benefited from even just four.

Lou Mu Yan took out two bottles and tossed them over, then also deducted twenty thousand contribution points from the other party’s identity jade tablets.

“Thank you Junior Sister for parting with your treasure.” Gao Zhe smiled and cupped his hands.

Gao Fei’s expression also revealed a bit of joy and couldn’t wait to take one out to try.

Seeing that the three of them were starting to refine the pill’s medicinal power, she stood up and continued to step into the eighth chamber.

Everything that happened in the Elemental Underground Palace right now was being presented in a wooden house in the mountains with strong Spiritual Force.

There were two people sitting in the wooden house, one being Ancestor Yu Chan, and the other was an elderly man who appeared elegant and otherworldly.

“This little girl must be the one you mentioned with Heaven-defying talent.” The elegant elderly man stroked his long beard and smiled gently.

Ancestor Yu Chan nodded and said with a respectful tone, “Senior Brother, this girl has a good personality, I’m pretty optimistic about her, what do you think?”

“This girl looks quite fated with this old man. When she comes out of the Elemental Underground Palace, you bring her to see this old man.”

The elegant elderly man looked at Lou Mu Yan’s performance in the Metal Elemental Underground Palace, then sighed with emotions: “This little girl isn’t only talented, but her perseverance and determination also shouldn’t be underestimated. She’s a good seedling.”

Ancestor Yu Chan’s pupils couldn’t help but constrict. This person hadn’t wanted to meet a pupil of this Sect for many years now. He didn’t expect that this little girl had such a fortuitous opportunity.

He had planned to take Lou Mu Yan as his disciple before, but now it seemed that there was no fate of Master and Disciple between them.

“She should be able to break the shackles of the eighth chamber of the Sect’s Elemental Underground Palaces. She will indeed be qualified to see Senior Brother.”

“Mm. I estimate that it would take no longer than five days for her to be able to cultivate in the eighth chamber.” The elegant elderly man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with interest.

“Then I look forward to it.”

In the next few days, Lou Mu Yan was still going in and out between the seventh and eighth chambers, but the time she spent in the eighth chamber was getting longer and longer.

Similarly, Qi Ran, who took the Meridians Nourishing Pill, did the same thing as Lou Mu Yan, but the time he spent staying in there was much shorter than her—however the progress everyday was still astounding.

The two brothers were also affected by their firmness and perseverance. They tried to walk towards the densest gravity point in the deepest part of the seventh chamber and continued even after failing.

What made them overjoyed was that such high-intensity cultivation helped them improve much more than the previous conservative cultivation.

Although it would be painful for a short amount of time after reaching their limit, but after that, regardless of whether it was their comprehension of the element, or the toughness of their bodies, there was a lot of improvement.

Five days later, Lou Mu Yan completely stood on her foot in the gravity space of the eighth chamber and no longer had to half-kneel on the ground. She could now sit cross-legged and cultivate.

After a day passed, the three people in the seventh chamber all revealed a knowing bitter smile. In front of Lou Mu Yan, the three known as the top three of the Metal Elemental Underground Palace were really nothing.

“She’s broken though to the eighth chamber.” Qi Ran said when he passed from the eighth chamber back to the seventh chamber again.

“I didn’t expect that she really succeeded. I have to admire her perseverance and tenacity.” Gao Fei had previously felt that Lou Mu Yan couldn’t weigh her abilities, but now reality slapped him hard in the cheek.

“This is the difference between us and her. With her talent and perseverance, she can definitely go a long way in the future if there aren’t any accidents.” Gao Zhe looked into the distance, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qi Ran’s handsome face overflowed with a smile from his heart, “We also benefited a lot during this time.”

The two brothers also smiled—they indeed benefited.

Not only did they obtain the Meridians Nourishing Pill, which was comparable to the efficacy of a Grade 5 pill, but they also learnt a lot in terms of cultivation experience from her, which made them take less of a detour.

“She will be famous for her talent in the Inner Sect from today.” Gao Zhe said.

Qi Ran nodded: “The news that Lou Mu Yan has officially entered the eighth chamber to cultivate must’ve already been received by the superiors of the Sect and many pupils in the Sect.”

Recently, Lou Mu Yan could be considered to have some fame in the Inner Sect, but it was mainly because of her beating up the supervisors in the Contribution Points Hall. At that time, many people thought that she was being presumptuous because of Huo Ling Long and Ao Rong, and they had different opinions about her.

Now that she had proved herself with her talent and strength, it was most likely that even the several leading geniuses of the Inner Sect would have to be impressed and have different opinions about her compared to before.

As expected by Qi Ran and the Gao Brothers, Lou Mu Yan breaking through the shackles of the Elemental Underground Palaces that had existed for more than a millennium by entering the eighth chamber to cultivate instantly spread throughout the Sect and caused huge waves.

Many old pupils of the Inner Sect didn’t believe this rumour at all and even went to the Metal Elemental Underground Palace to investigate themselves.

When they saw the name ‘Lou Mu Yan’ on the eighth chamber spar wall in the supervising hall, they were completely stunned and were boiling with excitement.
