Chapter 128 The Sect Leader Stole All the Spirit Stones
"Two days have passed, and there's still no sign of Master and Junior Sister?"
"Not only have Master and Junior Sister disappeared, but even our Grandmaster Qinghe has vanished!"
"Could it be that those three ran off with all our spirit stones?"
"Shut your filthy mouth, Fourth Brother. Even if our master is despicable, he wouldn't do such a thing!"
“He’s not that kind of person. Then tell me, where is he now? You all have staked less spirit stones on Junior Sister than I have.”
"But no matter what, although our master is a bit greedy, the Star Palace is his home. He can't possibly abandon us and run away!"
……
Two days passed, and Xiao Changkong, along with Chen Tianba, Lu Haoran, and the others, searched almost the entire inner gate of the Star Palace, but still couldn't find Star Daoist and Shen Rugo.
The five of them were somewhat bewildered and began to discuss among themselves.
"What's going on?"
"The sect leader has disappeared, and what about that junior disciple Shen Rugo?"
"Could it be that our sect leader, whose character is questionable, was tempted by those spirit stones and ran away with them?"
The eight peak masters, including Putuo Peak, have searched the entire inner and outer sects over the past two days, but they still haven't found Xingchen Daoren, and they are all full of doubts.
These eight individuals were the greatest contributors to this operation. Only they knew the ins and outs of the plan.
The key point is that each of them bet all of their spirit stones.
But now, with the mission accomplished, the sect leader has vanished without a trace, taking Shen Rugo with him.
Moreover, even Uncle Qinghe has disappeared.
"Even if our sect leader is unreliable and runs away with the spirit stones, our Uncle Qinghe won't run away with him."
To him, the Star Palace was more important than anything else. It was a place he had protected for hundreds of years.
"That's right. Even if our sect leader is unreliable and runs away with that little disciple, our Uncle Qinghe won't leave."
In terms of emotions, no one in the entire Star Palace is more profound than him.
“That makes sense. Uncle Qinghe has lived for hundreds of years and has always been in the Star Palace, protecting it. He would never leave for a few spirit stones!”
"I also want to believe that our Uncle Qinghe won't leave. But the problem is, how did those three suddenly disappear and become untraceable?"
After searching for two days, the eight peak masters also sighed repeatedly.
Finally, they sat on Star Peak and discussed it endlessly.
They also saw Xiao Changkong and his group in the distance. Clearly, these people were also furious, especially Chen Tianba, who cursed Xingchen Daoist vehemently, calling him an old bastard repeatedly.
Their anger was no faking.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since we can't find Uncle Qinghe either, it means that Uncle Qinghe is with the sect leader, including that little girl."
As long as Uncle-Master Qinghe is around, even if our unreliable Sect Leader is greedy, he would never be able to run off with the spirit stones!
"That makes sense. Let's wait here on Star Peak. I don't believe they won't come out!"
"That's right, we'll stay here."
"They must be hiding in some secret realm within our Star Palace that we don't know about."
Finally, everyone, including Xiao Changkong and his group, stopped searching and quietly waited at Star Peak.
"This is wonderful! Having lots of top-grade spirit stones is great. I'm about to break through again."
Shen Rugo, who had been cultivating in the corner, sat down on the pile of spirit stones without any hesitation, absorbing the spiritual energy frantically, as there were plenty of free top-grade spirit stones.
Two days later, Shen Rugo was pleasantly surprised to find that she had made a breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Shen Rugo was unaware that while she was happy, Qinghe Daoist, who was guarding her, had shifted his attention from Xingchen Daoist to Shen Rugo as soon as she entered a meditative state.
Because he clearly saw that Shen Rugo's hands were constantly gripping those top-grade spirit stones.
Each top-grade spirit stone contained rich spiritual energy, but regardless of its size, in his palm, it lost its luster and turned into ash in just two or three breaths.
In other words, Shen Rugo refined a top-grade spirit stone in just two or three breaths.
This left Qinghe Daoist speechless with astonishment.
Even if he is now at the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible for him to refine these top-grade spirit stones in just two or three breaths.
"Is that child really a mixed-grade five-elemental-root?"
Even a perfect, top-grade single spiritual root with a hundred points is far inferior, not even one-tenth as good!
"This is clearly the most terrifying spiritual root in the world, how could it be a mixed spiritual root?"
"Or did the person who tested your spiritual roots make a mistake?"
"Go out and retest this child's spiritual roots!"
Qinghe Daoist stared wide-eyed at Shen Rugo, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
It seems that right now, the truly important person is not the Star Daoist who is breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, but this junior disciple in the Qi Refining stage.
Before they knew it, two days had passed. Seeing the large pile of spirit lime slag around Shen Rugo, even Qinghe Daoist couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Although he hadn't calculated it carefully, Shen Rugo had consumed no less than several thousand top-grade spirit stones in the past two days.
The spiritual energy contained in these thousands of top-grade spirit stones would have already allowed even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages to break through their cultivation level.
However, Shen Rugo is still at the sixth level of Qi Refining and has not yet broken through to the seventh level.
"What kind of physique does this little ancestor have? He hasn't broken through even after absorbing so much spiritual energy."
"If he continues like this, how much spiritual energy will she need to consume to break through to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul realm?"
"Such a gluttonous woman, I'm afraid even our entire Star Palace couldn't support her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm!"
The more Qinghe Daoist thought about it, the more shocked he became.
In the end, they simply ignored Xingchen Daoren.
"This is wonderful! I'm about to break through! I'm about to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
The Star Daoist, who had been cultivating frantically, was also devouring top-grade spirit stones.
He finally broke through on the third day after all the top-grade spirit stones in front of him had been devoured.
Because he had long been on the verge of a breakthrough, this time it was a breakthrough of his mental state, so it only took three days in total.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying aura emanated from him, and he successfully broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the Great Perfection realm.
Although his breakthrough was quite significant, in order to ensure that the secret chamber and all the spirit stones inside were not damaged, Daoist Qinghe had already added layers of spatial arrays around him.
Therefore, he did not cause any commotion.
When he opened his eyes in surprise, he shouted, "Uncle-Master, I've broken through! I've finally broken through! I've broken through to..."
To his surprise, his shouting was suddenly interrupted by a rebuke from Daoist Qinghe: "I know you've broken through, brat. It's just breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. What's so great about it? Why are you making such a racket?"
"If you disturb Ruge, believe me, I'll send your cultivation level back down to the late Nascent Soul stage right now!"
