I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 257 - 131: Emperor Longjing, the Dragon Transformation Pool

"Ma'am, how many times have you participated in a hunting competition like this?"

Fang Xing looked at Hong Miaojin, somewhat curious.

Hong Miaojin looked at him and said lightly, "Including this one, it should be three times. I wasn't very interested before."

"What is it like inside the Hong Wu Secret Realm?"

"It's not much different from the outside, except the Fierce Beasts are more ferocious."

"But you need to be careful. Although the areas are divided, accidents can happen. High-level Fierce Beasts might break into other zones."

!!!

Hearing Hong Miaojin's warning, Fang Xing couldn't help but feel a chill.

'No wonder there are Life-saving Talismans.'

'So that's the reason.'

If they encountered a Demon King Level Fierce Beast, it would be an absolute nightmare for a Martial Artist at the True Qi Realm of Cultivation.

Even he would have to run!

Confidence was one thing, but the gap in power was enormous, even against just an Initial Realm Demon King Level Fierce Beast.

Fang Xing took note of this.

...

The carriage traveled on, and soon, they arrived at their destination outside the city.

Jade Capital Mountain!

This was the most magnificent mountain in Jade Capital City.

It was thousands of feet high, with steep and precipitous slopes.

The carriage stopped, and Fang Xing followed Hong Miaojin out.

"Quite a few people here."

Looking at the crowd not far away, Fang Xing silently swept his gaze over them.

The people who had come were all children of the great and powerful families of Jade Capital City.

There were many with Cultivation ranging from the True Qi Realm to the True Essence Realm.

'This force alone could probably sweep away a large number of Upper Sect Disciples.'

Fang Xing thought to himself.

The disciples of the noble Jade Capital Families were no simple characters.

Some of the Great Jing Families were even more formidable than the Martial Dao Upper Sects.

Their foundations ran deep, built upon an accumulation of heritage spanning over a thousand years.

There were two types of families: Celestial Families and ordinary families.

Celestial Families were those presided over by a Martial Saint of the Celestial Human Realm.

There weren't many such families in all of Great Jing; there were nine in total.

Publicly, each had at least one Celestial Martial Saint Level existence.

To step into the Celestial realm was to become a Martial Dao Saint!

This step was a monumental leap.

A family with a Celestial Martial Saint and one without were two completely different things.

The foundation of the Nine Great Celestial Families was equivalent to that of Great Jing's Ten Great Martial Dao Upper Sect Sacred Lands!

Besides the Nine Great Celestial Families, the other families were not to be underestimated either.

These families, with their heritage of hundreds or even thousands of years, also possessed exceedingly deep foundations.

When Hong Miaojin and Fang Xing arrived, the gazes of many people gathered on them.

Most of the gazes, however, were on Hong Miaojin beside him.

It couldn't be helped. As the number one on the Hidden Dragon List, she was dazzling wherever she went.

Feeling the stares of all those eyes, Hong Miaojin's expression showed not the slightest ripple.

She was the picture of calm.

Hong Miaojin was already used to this kind of scene.

"Miaojin!"

A voice called out as two figures hurried forward. It was the two from yesterday's visit to the manor, Yi Qingfeng and Ji Ruxue.

Among the Nine Great Celestial Families was Ji Ruxue's Ji Family.

Although Yi Qingfeng was not from one of the Nine Great Celestial Families, his was still considered a top-tier family.

Seeing the two approach, a smile appeared on Hong Miaojin's face as well.

"You two are here pretty early."

Ji Ruxue smiled. "We just got here too."

"Miaojin, you didn't participate last year, so you have to take first place this year. The last winner was the Ninth Prince, you know," Ji Ruxue said.

"It's just a hunt. The ranking isn't important." Hong Miaojin didn't seem to care at all, her expression nonchalant.

"With you here today, first place is a sure thing. That'll piss off the Ninth Prince," Ji Ruxue said with a grin.

...

'This woman really dares to say anything.'

Looking at Ji Ruxue, Fang Xing's heart twitched.

It was obvious that she and Hong Miaojin were on the same side and both disliked the Ninth Prince.

But Ji Ruxue had the standing to say such things. After all, her family was one of the Nine Great Celestial Families.

That kind of foundation was no small matter!

"This is your first time participating, Fang Xing. I believe you should be able to get a good rank. Work hard and crush the disciples from the other families," Ji Ruxue looked at Fang Xing and said with a beaming smile.

'This woman... how is she even more fiery than Hong Miaojin?' Looking at Ji Ruxue, Fang Xing was at a loss for words.

He forced a smile. "I'll do my best."

"You're Miaojin's person, so you have to make a good showing," Ji Ruxue said, looking at him seriously.

"I have faith in his strength. You two don't need to worry about that," Hong Miaojin said.

Hearing this, the two exchanged a glance.

For Hong Miaojin to be this confident, it seemed there was even a possibility of him vying for first place.

Ji Ruxue smiled. "Well then, it looks like Fang Xing has a chance to at least get into the top three."

Fang Xing: "..."

"Top three? That's quite the bold claim." A soft, ghostly voice drifted over, accompanied by a faint, sweet fragrance.

The group turned their gazes.

A graceful figure appeared before their eyes.

It was a woman.

She had delicate features, wore a long, gray chiffon dress, and possessed long, slender legs and a proud, magnificent figure.

She exuded an aura of seduction at all times.

Alluring!

That was Fang Xing's first impression.

This woman was utterly alluring!

She was probably the only one present dressed so revealingly.

Her Cultivation was the same as his, also at the Peak of True Qi Realm.

"Utterly shameless!"

Disgust flashed in Ji Ruxue's eyes.

"Sister Ruxue, are you jealous?" The woman stepped forward. The intangible, sweet fragrance was like a delicate hand, plucking at one's heartstrings. Her voice was very soft.

Fang Xing's Primordial Spirit trembled as he looked at the woman.

'This person cultivates Charm Martial Arts!'

She could pluck at his heartstrings and trigger an alert from his Primordial Spirit. Fang Xing instantly came to a conclusion.

"Jealous? Heh, who doesn't know of the great Miss Lü? I can't possibly compare," Ji Ruxue sneered.
