Chapter 260: Chapter 260

Actually, Zhao Letian was quite interested in the battle between Meng Yi and Hua Qianyang.

But having offended many people, he did not know how many wanted him dead in secret. Staying outside for an extended period was extremely dangerous, so to be safe, he had to return to Holy Spirit Academy as soon as possible.

"Very well, let's part ways here. I shall go and see for myself. Remember, you need to work hard this month. The backgrounds of those guys are all extraordinary. Even I may not be able to present a better gift than them. If you want to beat them, you need to put in a good effort."

Murong Zhan said with a serious tone.

"Thank you, Prince, for the reminder. I have a clear understanding," replied Zhao Letian with an indifferent smile, nodding nonchalantly.

"Huh? It looks like you, my boy, already have a plan. Very good, I look forward to seeing an astonishing congratulatory gift from you in a month's time. It would be best if you could outshine everyone else. After all, compared to them, I still find you more pleasing to the eye," said Murong Zhan with a hint of surprise and a smile upon seeing Zhao Letian's composed demeanor.

A month later, although he would also present a gift to the King of Gray Wolf, he had no intention of competing for the position of Prince Consort, and naturally, he did not mind if Zhao Letian would bring out a better gift.

"The Prince will not be disappointed," Zhao Letian replied calmly, radiating strong confidence.

"I hope so," Murong Zhan shook his head with a smile, and then with a leap, he turned into a streak of light, flying into the distance.

Although he wished for Zhao Letian to win, he was not too optimistic about him. It was hard for Murong Zhan to imagine how a person from the True Martial Realm with no background like Zhao Letian could compete against the immense powers behind those monstrous talents.

"One month's time? Should be enough," Zhao Letian mused as he watched Murong Zhan's receding figure, then turned into a sword light himself, soaring into the sky toward the Holy Spirit Academy.

Upon returning to Holy Spirit Academy, Zhao Letian did not stop for a moment and went straight to Kuxiu Mountain.

"This time, I should be able to reach past the eightieth layer," he thought, looking up at the towering peak piercing the clouds, a sharp light flickering in his eyes as he flew higher.

"Look quickly, someone has actually reached the eightieth layer!"

"A mere person of the True Martial Sixth Realm can comprehend the power of the eighth level? Who is that kid?"

"Eh? It's him; this kid's name is Zhao Zilong. Not long ago, he forcefully slew a powerhouse in the True Martial Ninth Realm."

"True Martial Sixth Realm defeating True Martial Ninth Realm? Another freak. Our Holy Spirit Academy truly deserves to be the top academy in Gray Wolf Country, a place where geniuses are born."

"Cut it out, no matter how monstrous he is, he can't compare to the person who has always occupied the top layer."

"Naturally, that person is our pride in the Holy Spirit Academy, ranked first among the top ten young masters of the Royal Capital. His talent and strength are undeniably the best below Sect Martial, commanding respect throughout the entire Gray Wolf Country."

Some martial artists flying around Kuxiu Mountain on their Spiritual Artifacts began to discuss animatedly as they spotted Zhao Letian.

Although many people cultivate on Kuxiu Mountain, very few can reach above the eightieth level, not to mention that Zhao Letian is only at the sixth level of the True Martial Realm. The fact that he could reach above the eightieth level is indeed very precious.

"Eighty-second floor? I'm almost at my limit; this will do."

When he reached the eighty-second floor, Zhao Letian stopped, entering a cave dwelling he had found.

The power of heaven and earth at this altitude had become tangible and formidable, like a great mountain constantly pressing down upon him. He had to allocate most of his energy to resist it. If he went any higher, he would have to devote all his strength to withstand the pressure from the heaven and earth's power, leaving no room for other activities.

The cave dwellings in Kuxiu Mountain were very well-equipped, providing all kinds of facilities needed by Martial Artists.

In addition to cultivation rooms, there were also Alchemy Rooms, Artifact Refining Rooms, and rooms for cultivating medicinal herbs and raising demon beasts, and even spaces designated for studying Arrays. VisitMyVirtualLibraryEmpire(*)formore.

This time entering the dwelling, Zhao Letian did not sit down to cultivate but went straight into the Alchemy Room.

A month later, he planned to present a Life Extension Pill to the King of Gray Wolf.

This elixir was extremely precious, and even in the inherited memories of the Dragon Clan, it was regarded as a treasure. As the name implies, the Life Extension Pill had the miraculous effect of prolonging life and increasing the lifespan of Martial Artists.

In the world of Martial Artists, any item that can extend life is an exceptionally rare treasure. Once discovered, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm.

Especially for those powerful beings whose lifespans were almost exhausted, such an elixir was truly priceless, and they would even be willing to exchange everything they owned for it.

Therefore, Zhao Letian believed that if he presented the Life Extension Pill as a congratulatory gift to the King of Gray Wolf, he had a good chance of beating the others.

The problem was, the Life Extension Pill was a Second Grade Elixir.

With his current Alchemy Skill, at most, he could only refine high-level First Grade elixirs.

That is to say, he must become a second-level Alchemist within this month.

Furthermore, the Life Extension Pill is not an ordinary Second Grade Elixir. Each of the Alchemy materials required is extremely precious, many of which are invaluable and not purchasable with Primordial Stones. Therefore, whether he can gather all the materials to refine the Life Extension Pill is not something Zhao Letian can be sure of.

However, this is not what he should be concerned about right now. His top priority at the moment is to first become a second-level Alchemist.

Fortunately, before he left Dajin Country, he had purchased a large quantity of Alchemy materials at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in War King City. What was left was still sufficient to support his advancement to a second-level Alchemist.

"Hundred Herbs Furnace, it's all up to you now."

In the Alchemy Room, a flash of Spirit Light in Zhao Letian's hand revealed the ancient-looking Hundred Herbs Furnace, which he placed over the earth fire. Then, he took out some Alchemy materials and tossed them all into the Pill Furnace, beginning to enhance his Alchemy Skill.

Time flies in the world of cultivation, and before long, twenty days had passed.

During this time, Gray Wolf Capital had become extraordinarily lively.

Major forces frequently dispatched powerful individuals to collect various rare treasures from all over Gray Wolf Kingdom and even other countries.

To obtain those treasures, the forces' powerful experts resorted to every possible means. If they could use Primordial Stones to buy, they would purchase at any cost; for those they couldn't buy, they would resort to force if necessary.

And everyone knew that these big forces acted this way to prepare congratulatory gifts for the Monarch, hoping to make their progeny stand out in the Prince Consort competition, thereby aiding them in controlling the entire Gray Wolf Kingdom.

Besides, during this period, many in the city kept thinking about killing Zhao Letian, too bad they just couldn't find him.

It's not that Zhao Letian never left Kuxiu Mountain; in fact, during these twenty days, he often went out and made extensive purchases in the Royal Capital. However, every time he went out, he would apply the Disguise Technique to alter his appearance and harness the Concealing Breath Technique to hide his cultivation base. This allowed him to deceive everyone and avoid detection.
