In the secret chamber, Xu Feng consumed the Golden Essence Pill given to him by Nong Ban.
With previous experience, Xu Feng quickly refined the medicinal power of the pill. This pill did not disappoint him; just like the first Fire Attribute Pill, it penetrated deep into his flesh, igniting all the Jinxi seeds in his body and thoroughly cleansing him.
After ten breaths, Xu Feng's Jinxi cultivation advanced to the Divine Separation Late Stage.
Following that, Xu Feng took the Wood Element Pill. Unsurprisingly, after ten breaths of spiritual energy renewal, Xu Feng steadily entered the Wood Element Divine Separation Late Stage.
After twenty breaths of taking medicine and with Nong Ban's divine elixir assisting him, Xu Feng successfully completed his advancement in the Wood Element, becoming a practitioner at the Divine Separation Late Stage across all elements.
With the convergence of the five elements and the cycle of life, Xu Feng's strength increased once again.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xu Feng exited the secret chamber. Calculating the time, there was less than a month until the battle at Jumping Fish Island.
Returning to the inner courtyard, Xu Feng summoned Lin Fangxin and Gao Jingsong.
Gao Jingsong continued to report various matters regarding Koukou Group to Xu Feng, who kept everything in mind. Currently, Koukou Group had three Vice Leaders and thirteen practitioners at the Divine Separation Late Stage. This strength had already risen to be the strongest in Liuxiang, with Yi Jiuzhou being powerful enough to rival Qiu Wuling and Hua Wanduo.
Of course, excluding Xu Feng.
With such strength, Koukou Group could be considered a regional power in Zheguo. Xiaoyao Sect and Pingyang Valley were at a similar level. Once there were Great Perfection Stage experts appearing in their ranks, they could compare to family forces like the Daming Lake Xu Family. If they had more than three Great Perfection Stage experts, they could break into the top ten in Zheguo.
Given Koukou Group's current strength, establishing a sect in Zheguo was no longer difficult. The rapid development was mainly due to the Lord of Fragrance having accumulated Spiritual Veins for too long, allowing Liuxiang Kingdom to endure hardships for an extended period. Now that Xu Feng had suddenly become wealthy and with Spiritual Veins opening up in Liuxiang Kingdom, abundant resources were pouring in; it was impossible not to grow quickly.
"After I defeat Bai Jue Qing Zi, we will establish a branch in Zheguo and expand our business," Xu Feng set a preliminary plan. The land of Zheguo was vast with many opportunities, which would be more beneficial for Koukou Group's development.
Lin Fangxin took out ten Heavy Water Talismans and handed them to Xu Feng, saying, "That one bottle of Essence of Water of the Tenth Month can produce twenty Heavy Water Talismans. We have only used half of it, and since the Essence of Water of the Tenth Month is hard to come by, let's keep the other half for now."
"Ten are enough for me," Xu Feng replied. With his current strength at the late stage of Divine Separation, his physical strength had nearly surpassed the early stage of Great Achievement, making it difficult for Fire Sand to injure him.
Xu Feng continued, "I am going to Zheguo and won't be back until after the Great War. You all should go to the Daming Lake Xu Family first and then head to Jumping Fish Island with the Xu family."
Xu Mo had sent someone to repair the Teleportation Array, and since Xu Feng was a disciple under the Xu family, it was only natural for Koukou Group to work alongside them.
"In case I am defeated and killed, Koukou Group will be taken over by Gao Jingsong."
Gao Jingsong said, "Group Leader, if you are not confident, it might be better to give up this duel. We don't need to compete for any reputation; staying in our Liuxiang Kingdom to cultivate is more beneficial. With your potential, Group Leader, you will surely advance to Great Perfection Stage within five hundred years. It won't be too late to make a name for yourself then."
Lin Fangxin supported Gao Jingsong's viewpoint, saying, "Wuwei Academy is the best in Zheguo. If you defeat him, Group Leader, your fame will surely soar, but it will inevitably provoke Wuwei Academy and could hinder your future development." He viewed the situation from a business perspective.
Xu Feng replied, "This matter has already been set in motion. I must face Jueqingzi in battle; there is no turning back. Don't worry; even if I am defeated, I will definitely be able to preserve my life."
Xu Feng took out his changed Superior Magical Artifact along with over a hundred Eighth-Rank Pills from Nongyi and gave them to Gao Jingsong. He also handed most of his spirit stones to Lin Fangxin as a precaution.
Gao Jingsong and Lin Fangxin's expressions turned serious; they understood that things were not as simple as Xu Feng imagined.
"After Yi Jiuzhou exits his seclusion, let him stay at Bailu Mountain and not go to Jumping Fish Island."
Yi Jiuzhou had been cultivating in seclusion recently; he was the strongest among them but could not surpass the Great Perfection Stage. If anything happened at Jumping Fish Island, the entire Koukou Group could be in jeopardy. Keeping Yi Jiuzhou around would help preserve some foundation.
After explaining matters regarding Koukou Group, Xu Feng stepped into the Teleportation Array and left Bailu Mountain.
Traveling north, they arrived at Daming Lake Xu Family and met Xu Mo.
After some pleasantries, Xu Feng asked Xu Huiying, who had just advanced to the Great Perfection Stage, to help test his skills. Xu Duo Chou and Xu Mo naturally enjoyed watching the match.
Since the battle at Sealing Magic Gorge, the Xu family had not seen Xu Feng make a move. During that time, news spread wildly about how Xu Feng defeated the Black Mountain Old Demon with a single strike, but they had not witnessed it themselves.
This time, with Xu Feng actively requesting a duel, the Xu family was more than eager to oblige. After all, Xu Feng's strength was crucial to the prosperity of the Xu family. If he won, it was possible for the Xu family to leverage his power to surpass Mu Jianlin and become the Celestial Path Tenth.
Years ago, Xu Feng had made a century-long promise. Although the Xu family was touched, they did not take it too seriously until later when Xu Feng's cultivation rapidly advanced, prompting them to pay attention and decide to take this gamble.
A draw would be the greatest hope for the Xu family.
The training ground was cleared, leaving only Xu Mo and the four others. Xu Huiying was eager to try; since his promotion to the Great Perfection Stage, he had only exchanged a few moves with Xu Duo Chou, where he was often on the receiving end. Now that Xu Feng was voluntarily taking hits, he felt an itch in his fists.
Xu Mo simply wanted to see Xu Feng's true strength. A duel was coming up next month against Jueqingzi, an experienced Great Achievement cultivator whose strength was comparable to Xu Duo Chou's. For Xu Feng to even have a chance against Jueqingzi, he needed to at least defeat Xu Huiying.
Xu Feng walked over to face Xu Huiying and tossed him a storage bag. "This is Fire Sand from Wuwei Academy. Elder Xu asked you to use it to attack me; I want to test its power."
"Fire Sand!" exclaimed Xu Duo Chou. "How could Fire Sand from Wuwei Academy be in your hands? Even I can't handle Fire Sand; how could you possibly manage it?"
Xu Mo was equally astonished. Fire Sand belonged to Wuwei Academy and was inaccessible to outsiders. Moreover, Fire Sand was a one-time use item; once used, it could not be reused. What Xu Feng was doing not only posed a risk but also seemed wasteful.
Xu Feng explained, "Everyone in Zheguo knows that Silverbeard and Not Returning Child were killed. This Fire Sand came from them and has circulated through the black market before I bought it. Jueqingzi must also have Fire Sand; I want to test its power first so that if Jueqingzi uses it, I'll be prepared."
Xu Mo did not comment on Xu Feng's words. If Fire Sand had truly entered the black market, as the head of the Xu family, he should have heard something about it. Since Xu Feng insisted on this course of action, he decided to trust him for now; after all, having something from Wuwei Academy in hand wouldn’t help if they couldn't use it—there would be no way to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
"Xu Duo Chou said, 'According to the Fire Sand, it is highly toxic. If you want to try it, make sure to take precautions first.'
'I am already prepared, Elder, don't worry.'
Xu Huiying took the Fire Sand and said, 'In that case, I won't say much more. Are you ready?'
'Let's go!' Xu Feng opened the Wings of the Strange Dragon and flew up two meters high.
The three were taken aback; they knew about those wings, but they hadn't expected that after a few years, they had transformed into a Supreme Treasure, with power far surpassing before.
'Heart!' Xu Huiying shook her hand, and the Fire Sand turned into a cloud of Yellow Sand, enveloping Xu Feng from above and below, left and right.
Activating the Fire Sand was quite simple; it could be used with common concealed weapon techniques.
Facing the encroaching Fire Sand, Xu Feng flapped his wings and quickly retreated, delaying the Fire Sand's approach while simultaneously raising his hand to cast a Water Screen.
Heavy Water Talisman!
Once the Heavy Water Talisman was activated, it immediately formed a water wall ten meters high and five meters wide in the space, completely shielding Xu Feng.
Most of the Fire Sand struck against the water wall. Although it seemed less than a fist thick, the water wall was incredibly resilient; no matter how much the Fire Sand collided with it, it could not break through.
The Fire Sand continuously surged into the Heavy Water Talisman's water wall, producing hissing explosion sounds.
Finally, the last bit of Fire Sand broke through the Water Screen and flew toward Xu Feng. Xu Feng did not dodge or evade, allowing the Fire Sand to hit him directly."
With a soft thud, the Fire Sand struck the ancient turtle shell, rolling down helplessly.
Xu Feng swept his wings, creating a strong wind that blew the fallen Fire Sand away without a trace.
The Water Screen disappeared, revealing the stunned Xu Duo Chou and his companions.
The Fire Sand from Wuwei Academy couldn't harm him at all; it was as insignificant as dust in the mortal world, leaving only a bit of ash behind.
Xu Mo cheered, "Great! So you have such a powerful Heavy Water Talisman. In that case, the Fire Sand is nothing to worry about."
However, Xu Duo Chou and Xu Huiying did not share this view. Both were Great Achievement Stage Cultivators, and from the speed and timing of Xu Feng's actions, they could tell that his ability to avoid the Fire Sand was not solely due to the Heavy Water Talisman.
Xu Feng landed gracefully, smiling, clearly pleased with his performance in the recent attack.
The Fire Sand was unleashed by Xu Huiying and was as forceful as Silverbeard's. The Heavy Water Talisman blocked most of the Fire Sand, and the remaining scattered bits could not breach the Tortoise Shell Armor's defense. The toxins in the Fire Sand were also filtered out by the Heavy Water Talisman.
The Heavy Water Talisman was far more expensive than the Fire Sand, proving its worth.
After testing the effectiveness of the Heavy Water Talisman, Xu Feng thanked Xu Huiying, saying, "Thank you for testing the sand, Elder Xie."
Xu Huiying smiled and replied, "Xu Feng, you always surprise people. Well done."
Xu Feng changed the subject and said, "Head of the family, I need to go to Jumping Fish Island first. During the duel, my Koukou Group from Liuxiang Kingdom will send someone over. I’ll meet up with them at Xu's house before heading to Jumping Fish Island together. I hope you can assist me then."
Xu Mo responded, "Xu Feng, although you are my Xu Family Disciple, you are also a respected figure in your own right. You can rest assured about matters concerning Liuxiang Kingdom; I will make proper arrangements so that you won't be distracted."
"Thank you, Head of the Family. In that case, I will take my leave first."
"Wait." Xu Duo Chou suddenly said, "Xu Feng, it's impressive that you can avoid Fire Sand, but I still want to test your strength."
"How do you want to test it?"
Xu Duo Chou stepped forward and said seriously, "Take my palm strike."
Elder Xu Duo Chou actually took the initiative to challenge Xu Feng, which left Xu Mo somewhat speechless. In contrast, Xu Huiying felt secretly pleased; the Grand Elder's intention aligned with his own. After all, he had just unleashed Fire Sand and was easily countered by Xu Feng, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Xu Feng understood that Xu Duo Chou was concerned about him. After all, Jueqingzi was one of the Six Disciples of Wuwei Academy and possessed formidable strength. Xu Feng had managed to block Fire Sand more due to heavy talismans rather than his own power.
Xu Feng knew that if he didn't show some strength, Xu Duo Chou wouldn't be at ease. He stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder. In that case, I will dare to receive your palm strike. Please!"
