hing be worth more than 100 million yuan"This is different, this is special," Ye Bufan reached out and picked up a Fei He Divine Needle, his expression excited. "This thing is worthless in your hands,...Ye Bufan sneered: "I'm laughing at you, you fool! You have no backbone and all you have is stupidity!"

Zhang Qichu's cheeks flushed red, her eyes blazing: "Nonsense! A soldier may be killed but not dishonored. I, Zhang Qichu, am the most spirited of all. Even in death, I will preserve my dignity!"

"You can kill a soldier, but you can't insult him Do you deserve to be called a soldier You're just an idiot!"

Ye Bufan sneered, "Where was your dignity when you were beaten like a dog by Jiu Fang Xie just now"

When your head is stepped on the ground, where is your dignity

When you're constantly at the mercy of others, living in fear that they could kill you with a single blow, where is your dignity

"I…"

Zhang Qi Chu was speechless after Ye Bu Fan's words. At this moment, his chest felt suffocating as if it could explode at any time, but he had nothing to say, because all of this was the truth.

Ye Bufan took a step forward, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"You've lived for so long, haven't you figured out what's most important to a cultivator Is it your so-called dignity and pride"

If you don't know that already, let me tell you now, for cultivators, the most important thing is cultivation. Without cultivation, you are nothing!

"I..."

Zhang Qi Chu's old face flushed red, like a pig liver about to bleed. He naturally understood what Ye Bufan was saying, but Wen Susu had completely blinded him.

Ye Bufan said again, "It's nothing that you have a liking for Caiyi Fairy, but do you have the qualifications At least not now!"

When you can trample the Nine-Faced Fiend underfoot, when you can stand atop this entire continent, and when you can control your own life and death, then you will be worthy.

Instead of being like this, clinging to your pitiful pride and dignity, burying your head in the sand and refusing to improve, that's what a complete coward would do!

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. They all understood the truth in his words, but they had never understood it so thoroughly before.

It's no exaggeration to say that these powerful words just now deeply shook them to their core.

For cultivators, the most important thing is strength. Without strength, everything else is just a cloud of smoke.

Zhang Qi Chu stood there, the aura and anger on her body slowly dissipating.

He was naturally a smart person, otherwise he couldn't have become an outstanding core disciple of Xuantianmen, nor could he have reached the middle stage of crossing the tribulation.

Under the gaze of several people, he finally lowered his head with a dejected expression.

"I was wrong before, I am willing to accept your pills!"

In the end, he chose to submit. If anyone else from Xuan Tian Men saw this, they would surely be shocked and drop their jaws.

To know that throughout the entire sect, Zhang Qichu was absolutely the proudest one, to stoop down and admit fault was unprecedented.

"Haha, you're not foolish enough yet."

Ye Bufan flipped his wrist, sending a crystal-clear pill spinning on his fingertips.

"As long as you swallow it, it will allow you to advance from the mid-stage of tribulation to the late-stage."

As a core disciple of Xuan Tian Men, you wouldn't know how precious this kind of pill is, would you

To say it's priceless is an understatement. If I were to sell it, countless people would give their entire fortune to have it. Yet now, here I am, begging you like this

"Forget it, since you're so ignorant and stubborn as a log that can't be carved, I don't bother talking to you."

After he finished speaking, he beckoned to Lanxi and the others, then turned and walked away.

Zhang Qi Chu stood there, her facial expression constantly changing, clearly engaged in an extremely intense psychological struggle.

As Ye Bufan walked further and further away, Gong Jinyi's voice transmission sounded in his ear.

"Zhang Shidi, I assure you this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must not miss it or you will regret it for the rest of your life. Furthermore, it will only make Shimei look down on you even more!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qichu instantly woke up. He no longer cared about his previous pitiful face and dignity. With a flash of his figure, he came to Ye Bufan's side and knelt down with a thud.

"Please, Immortal Physician Ye, grant me a pill. I, Zhang [Name], will never forget your great kindness!"

Ye Bufan stopped his steps and looked down for a long time.

"This is how you should be."

After finishing his speech, he flicked his finger, and a piece of ammunition landed in his palm.

After about an hour, Zhang Qichu's aura rose steadily, and he finally reached the late stage of crossing the tribulation.

"Hurry back and solidify your cultivation. We will depart from here tomorrow."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he turned and left. He took Zhang Qiuchu under his wing for two reasons: first, to help himself, and second, to repay a favor owed to Xuan Tianmen.

After returning home, he comforted Lan Xi again. Since the other party had kidnapped Xiao Yezi to coerce him, there would be no danger before their goal was achieved.

He comforted his wife in this way, but deep down he was worried sick.

Being a father for the first time, having a lovely daughter, he felt both guilty and anxious because he had implicated the little one.

But there's no other way, now we can only take it step by step and move forward. If we rush things, we might end up making things worse.

The next morning, everyone gathered early in front of Ye Bufan's door. After a night of cultivation, they had completely stabilized their newly elevated realms.

Compared to yesterday, these people were all brimming with energy and enthusiasm, each one full of fighting spirit and vigor.

Now there are thirty cultivators at the early stage of crossing the tribulation, twelve at the middle stage, and three at the later stage. With so many powerful tribulation period cultivators gathered together, a powerful aura permeates the entire venue.

Ye Bufan walked in front of the crowd, nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Everyone hide your cultivation, suppress it to yesterday's level."

Everyone who reached this state was a seasoned veteran, immediately understanding his intention. Sometimes power hidden in the shadows can exert its greatest effect.

With Wen Susu leading the way, everyone began to subdue their aura, lowering their cultivation level by one rank, appearing just like yesterday.

"Alright, let's go."

Since they were all ready, Ye Bufan didn't say much. He rose into the air first and led everyone towards the east.

Blood River, this name was rarely heard before because it was a forbidden zone in Tianluo Prefecture.

Legend has it that the place is always surrounded by blood, and no matter what level of cultivation one possesses, entering there means certain death.

Moreover, there was no legendary treasure within, offering nothing in return. Over time, the place became a forbidden zone that all cultivators avoided, with no one paying it any mind.

If it weren't for the fact that this time the Shengxue Sect notified the location of their meeting as the Blood River, people would have almost forgotten about this place.

This place is extremely far from the Daxing Empire. Even with everyone's cultivation, it would take a day to arrive.

Anyway, there was still time, and Ye Bufan didn't resort to the Nine Heavens technique. It's sometimes better to keep some escape methods hidden.

He stomped on the dragon tooth, and together with Lan Xi Xiaoqing and others, he soared through the sky on his sword.

Others, with their powerful cultivation, also swiftly tore through the heavens and rushed towards the direction of Blood River Canyon. younger brother's hand, and now he's attacking the Black Widow. He simply doesn't take our merchants seriously."Shang Tianqi said: "What's the use of saying such things At any time, strength decides...
