C16 Not Much

Very quickly, the system's calculations were out. In order to reach the Golden Core, the amount of spiritual energy needed to be exchanged for points was 1000 points. This made Lin Xiao curse the system for cheating him.

Previously, when he reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, it was only about 100 points. Even if he added in the True Qi that filled his body, the price wouldn't be so high.

The answer given by the system was: The Golden Core was different from the Foundation Establishment stage. The purity of the True Qi was many times purer than the Foundation Establishment stage, so the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was only a conservative estimate. If it was not enough, it would probably consume more points.

Well, this was not the final data.

Lin Xiao did not have the strength to complain, but when he thought about how he was about to step into Golden Core and officially become a member of cultivator, he was a little excited. This little amount of points was nothing.

When everything was ready, Lin Xiao started circulating the Immortal Martial Arts. He circulated the exchanged spiritual energy in his body according to a certain trajectory, turning it into true qi.

Lin Xiao, who was immersed in his cultivation, gradually lost his sense of the outside world. He devoted himself to the world of the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, comprehending the most basic of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao in the heaven and earth.

Little did he know that just as he entered a meditative state, something big happened in the outside world.

Ji Baihua had just come out of her room. It took her a long time to calm down after being angered by Lin Xiao.

However, before she could calm herself down for long, a piece of news immediately caused her mood to turn bad once again, and it could even be said that she was incomparably terrified.

The Ghost Shadow Sect, Sect Leader, and Yan Lie had personally led five elders and more than half of the disciples to attack!

When this news came, it made Ji Baihua's scalp go numb.

She knew that the Ghost Shadow Sect wouldn't let this matter rest after she killed the Night Ghosts, but she never thought that the enemy would come so quickly.

In fact, there was another reason why she was in such a hurry to let Lin Xiao leave. It was to wait for Lin Xiao to leave, and if the people of the Ghost Shadow Sect arrived... She could totally shirk the responsibility to Lin Xiao, saying that it was Lin Xiao who killed the Night Ghosts. This was also the reason why she didn't kill all the disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect that the Night Ghosts brought after killing them.

Only after these disciples returned, they reported that there was an outsider present when the Night Ghosts died. As for the rest, she could make a big fuss about it.

As for Lin Xiao's life and death, Ji Baihua didn't care, nor did he want to push him into the fire pit.

In fact, once Lin Xiao left the Hundred Flowers Palace, she could directly depict Lin Xiao as a peerless expert in front of the ghosts. With a wave of her hand, she controlled the Hundred Flowers Palace and threatened Ji Baihua with the lives of all the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

In any case, the world was huge. It was virtually impossible for the Ghost Shadow Sect to find someone like Lin Xiao.

It was just that he didn't expect that the Ghost Shadow Sect would come, and that Lin Xiao would still be on the mountain.

The Hundred Flowers Palace's influence was not bad. In this region, it could be said that they could do whatever they wanted.

However, that was only a small part of it, because not far away, there was still a Ghost Shadow Sect.

Whether it was in terms of scale or the strength of the inner disciples, the Ghost Shadow Sect was much stronger than the Hundred Flowers Palace. Normally, when the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace saw the Ghost Shadow Sect, they would walk around it. If they could avoid provoking it, they would try their best not to provoke it.

However, the reality was that many times, it was not satisfactory. Ji Baihua did not provoke the Ghost Shadow Sect, but the Ghost Shadow Sect did not think so.

One mountain could not tolerate two tigers. They could sleep peacefully on the side of the bed and tolerate other people?

The existence of the Hundred Flowers Palace was simply a thorn in the side of the Ghost Shadow Sect. If it wasn't uprooted, Yan Lie, this Sect Leader, wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

However, the strength of his Ghost Shadow Sect was indeed powerful, but the Hundred Flowers Palace was not a pushover that could be casually kneaded. Once they exchanged fire, they would injure the enemy a thousand times, and they would lose eight hundred of their own. In the end, both sides would suffer, and the others would benefit from it.

Furthermore, there was an unwritten rule in the Cultivation, that was, if any sect or sect or sect, Sect Leader, provoked them, they would cause trouble. If this matter really escalated, it would affect the safety of the entire world in the end. The sect that stirred up trouble would be hunted down by the entire Cultivation.

However, it was different these days. The Hundred Flowers Palace had killed the elder of the Ghost Shadow Sect first. Yan Lie could use this reason to openly declare war on the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Ji Baihua had a headache, once she heard that it was Yan Lie who took the lead, there were still five elders, and she immediately realized... This time, Yan Lie really wanted to destroy her Hundred Flowers Palace, making her as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She paced back and forth on the spot, but could not think of any good ideas.

She even somewhat regretted why she killed the Night Ghosts.

It was all that bastard's fault!

Hmph, if it really is a life and death situation, I'll just directly call you out.

For some reason, at this crucial moment, what appeared in Ji Baihua's mind was actually that face that seemed to always have an evil smile on it.

Thinking of this, she even began to doubt if she was the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace. At this life and death moment, she was actually thinking about that bastard.

Right, that bastard... Would he have a way?

Will he once again save me from this dire situation?

The more she didn't want to think about Lin Xiao, the clearer Lin Xiao's figure became in her mind.

In the end, Ji Baihua decided not to suppress his inner thoughts. Instead, he turned around and walked towards Lin Xiao's room. He actually thought that Lin Xiao would have a way to save his Hundred Flowers Palace.

However, before she could get close, she found a huge amount of natural spiritual energy gathering in Lin Xiao's direction. The huge amount of natural spiritual energy was so pure that it gave her a shock.

This kind of spiritual energy storm was not inferior to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator breaking through.

After the breakthrough to the peak of Nascent Soul... Wouldn't it be the Soul Formation Stage?

Could it be that there was a Soul Formation Stage cultivator in his tiny Hundred Flowers Palace?

Ji Baihua didn't even dare to imagine it. If his imagination were to come true, then perhaps the Hundred Flowers Palace would really be able to save him today.

But the truth was, she was very clear in her heart that all of this was impossible. Because of this level of spiritual energy storm, when she recovered her cultivation, she had already felt it. This familiar situation made her excited mood fall to the lowest point of being extinguished.

She was very sure that this was definitely the doing of that bastard Lin Xiao.

Although she didn't know why a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like him would create such a massive spiritual energy storm, if she wanted to rely on him to save the Hundred Flowers Palace, it would be more practical to directly believe that she could destroy Yan Lie's Ghost Shadow Sect.

With this thought, Ji Baihua's interest in walking over immediately disappeared. At this time, the disciples in the sect sent another message. The Ghost Shadow Sect had already reached the mountain gate.

Ji Baihua quickly calmed himself down and didn't dare to think about anything else. He quickly walked towards the mountain gate.

The mountain gate was the last line of defense in the sect. Once the mountain gate was broken, the only fate awaiting the Hundred Flowers Palace was to be destroyed.

"Hundred Flowers Palace, you really have the guts to kill an elder of my sect! Hurry up and come out and face your death!"

Yan Lie stood outside the mountain gate of the Hundred Flowers Palace, looking majestic and majestic. Under his feet were the corpses of several Hundred Flowers Palaces disciples.

Beside him was Luo Xing, who had a gloomy expression on his face. He didn't understand why they had already arrived here. The Hundred Flowers Palace didn't have the strength to fight back, so why didn't Sect Leader give the order to launch the final attack? He wanted to destroy the Hundred Flowers Palace and avenge his son.

However, Yan Lie was still Sect Leader. Therefore, no matter how angry Luo Xing was, he could only wait patiently.

In fact, it wasn't that Yan Lie didn't want to give the order to launch an all-out attack. It was just that although the Hundred Flowers Palace was weaker than the Ghost Shadow Sect, it wasn't so weak that it couldn't fight back at all.

Everything went too smoothly today. Everything went so smoothly that he started to be suspicious. He thought that Ji Baihua had set up a trap and was waiting for them, so he wanted to see the situation first.

This was the difference between an elder and Sect Leader. An elder only needed to put in effort at the critical moment. As for Sect Leader, he needed to think through every aspect in order to prevent the entire sect from being destroyed because of his impulsiveness.

Before Ji Baihua even reached the mountain gate, she heard such a provocative shout. She was furious, but she couldn't show it on her face.

She seemed to be more and more calm and indifferent, because this was the only way she could maintain her extreme rationality and not panic in front of a strong enemy.

Only in this way could she find a chance to survive in this death situation.

Because the opponent was too strong, so she was willing to admit defeat and wait for death, so as to avoid unnecessary torture?

No!

In the Cultivation, only when facing a powerful opponent, cultivator could always be alert and become stronger.

This was cultivator's Dao heart, a Dao heart that would never shrink back.

It was also Ji Baihua's Dao!

In fact, as she walked towards the mountain gate, her original worries gradually turned into some sort of indescribable excitement. This excitement came from her strong confidence in her own strength and disdain for her enemies.

She walked very slowly, more and more slowly, her steps gradually becoming more and more calm, and her heart also became more and more calm.

Finally, when she walked to the front of the mountain gate, regardless of whether it was the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace or the Ghost Shadow Sect disciples who were preparing to attack the mountain gate, they all made way for her due to her powerful aura.

And so, Ji Baihua appeared in front of Yan Lie. He was dressed in plain clothes, and he appeared in front of the five elders and countless Ghost Shadow Sect disciples behind him.

One man against a sect!

This was something that could never happen at any time, and it was done by Ji Baihua.

"Yan Lie, you are the one who led the Ghost Shadow Sect to attack my Hundred Flowers Palace, do you have any explanation for that?"

There was no fear or anger in her faint voice. She didn't even look at the corpse of the Hundred Flowers Palace disciple under Yan Lie's feet, as if everything that had happened today had nothing to do with her.

Yan Lie was somewhat shocked by her question. He didn't know why Ji Baihua, who was only at the mid Nascent Soul stage, could make his heart palpitate.

"Hahaha..." He used his laughter to conceal the fluctuation in his heart, "What a joke, what a joke! Ji Baihua, you killed my Ghost Shadow Sect elder before me! And now you're asking me for an explanation? Don't you think you're ridiculous?"

" Ridiculous? "

Ji Baihua's face was full of doubt, and he calmly said: "Your Ghost Shadow Sect's elder is a human, my Hundred Flowers Palace's disciple is not a human? You led more than half of the Ghost Shadow Sect's forces to attack my Hundred Flowers Palace, causing over ten thousand deaths and blood to flow like a river, I want an explanation from you. How ridiculous is that? "

" Hmph, unreasonable! "

Luo Xing could no longer hold himself back and stood out from beside Yan Lie. His green robe fluttered in the wind due to the True Qi, and the longsword in his hand pointed straight at Ji Baihua, causing a buzzing sound to ring out.

"Ji Baihua, you killed my son for no reason, and now I'm here to seek revenge. However, you didn't dare to accept the challenge, and sent an innocent disciple here to die. This... is our explanation. What do you think?"

A clear shout echoed in the sky. Sword-light filled the sky as they whizzed over.

Ji Baihua's expression did not change, and his expression was indifferent. Facing the cold sword qi, his red lips parted slightly, and he spat out three cold words: "Nothing much!"
