Chapter 383 - 236: Intercept
Cyan Wood Primordial Qi, Yanrong Primordial Qi.
Within Fang Yue’s body, the Cyan Wood Primordial Qi and the Yanrong Primordial Qi coexisted and interacted, creating a unique state of Inner Qi.
Cyan Wood Primordial Qi symbolized the flourishing power of life and growth. It was like a towering tree in a deep forest, endlessly drawing vitality from the world.
The Yanrong Primordial Qi, on the other hand, represented scorching heat and destruction. It was like a raging inferno, possessing the power to incinerate all things.
Yet, inside Fang Yue’s body, these two types of Primordial Qi with their extreme properties did not clash. Instead, they displayed a wondrous balance.
The life force of the Cyan Wood Primordial Qi and the heat of the Yanrong Primordial Qi intertwined. Following the principle of wood feeding fire, the newly refined Yanrong Primordial Qi was further enhanced and purified under the influence of the Cyan Wood Primordial Qi.
He looked inward and saw that within his Dantian, the greenish-cyan Wood Elemental Qi and the crimson Fire Elemental Qi were circling each other, slowly rotating like a Taiji symbol.
With each rotation, the two streams of Primordial Qi fused a little more, releasing powerful waves of energy.
Joy filled Fang Yue’s heart. He knew that not only had he successfully completed the Refinement of the Yanrong Primordial Qi, but he had also discovered one of the secrets of Qi Refiners.
’No wonder it’s so difficult to succeed as a Qi Refiner. The mere task of finding four types of Exotic Primordial Qi is enough to stop ninety percent of the world’s Qi Refiners.’
’But if one could successfully break through, the power they would obtain would absolutely surpass that of a Secret Medicine Martial Artist.’
Although Fang Yue hadn’t broken through to the next realm, his power had still reached a new level.
He slowly stood up and clenched his fists. He could clearly feel the immense power coursing through his body, as if a single punch could shatter a mountain peak.
"Whew. Time to go. If I don’t leave now, those people will catch up," Fang Yue said with a slight smile, then left the cave.
He wasn’t afraid of those few Innate Martial Artists, but there was no need to clash with them further. After all, he had effectively intercepted their fortuitous opportunity this time.
’Right, I should avoid killing anyone else.’
Fang Yue moved through the dense jungle, his steps as light as the wind, leaving no trace behind.
He had achieved his goal for this trip. Now, it was naturally time to head back.
「Three days later」
Fang Yue was already approaching the border of Yuanzhou Prefecture.
Following the main road, he was about to leave Yuanzhou Prefecture.
Just then, Fang Yue suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching him.
His heart tightened, and he looked around warily.
A figure in a black robe emerged from the woods, a sinister smile on his face.
Fang Yue’s heart sank as he watched the black-robed man walk slowly out of the woods.
He knew that as a Tributor of the Great Wei dynasty and an Expert of Shape-Shifting, the black-robed man’s power was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, the fact that this person had managed to find him proved he possessed extraordinary skills in tracking and concealment.
"Fang Yue, so you really were here!"
The black-robed man sneered. "Hand over that Jade Token, and I’ll give you a quick death!"
But a moment later, before Fang Yue could answer, the man’s tone changed. "You wretched brat! How dare you destroy the Luck Jade Token and absorb the luck within it! You deserve to die!"
With a cold snort, the black-robed man attacked Fang Yue directly.
The black-robed man’s figure was like the wind, appearing before Fang Yue in an instant. A powerful aura washed over him, as if threatening to consume him whole.
Fang Yue’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected the black-robed man to be so decisive, opening with a killing move.
However, he wasn’t afraid. In fact, he wanted to test his current strength.
Fang Yue clenched his fists. The Cyan Wood Primordial Qi and Yanrong Primordial Qi surged within him, rushing through his meridians like a violent flood.
His body blurred into motion, and he met the black-robed man’s attack with the speed of a lightning strike.
Seeing that Fang Yue dared to meet his attack head-on, a savage grin appeared on the black-robed man’s face.
His hands flew, and a powerful fluctuation of Primordial Qi coalesced into a black Palm Seal, which he viciously slammed toward Fang Yue.
Yet Fang Yue was not afraid.
The instant before the Palm Seal struck him, the Primordial Qi in his body erupted, and he threw a punch.

The greenish-cyan Wood Elemental Qi and the crimson Fire Elemental Qi intertwined, forming a brilliant radiance that collided violently with the black-robed man’s black Palm Seal.
"BOOM!"
A massive explosion echoed as the two powerful waves of Primordial Qi clashed in mid-air, kicking up a furious gale.
The black-robed man felt a tremendous force slam into him, making his arm go numb. He stumbled back several steps involuntarily.
Fang Yue, however, stood his ground, unmoving, his sleeves merely fluttering gently.
A glint shone in his eyes, and a slight smile touched his lips.
He knew that his current strength was now enough to contend with the black-robed man.
"Not bad, brat. To think you could take my attack!"
The black-robed man steadied himself. His gaze, fixed on Fang Yue, was filled with shock and cold malice. "But you won’t be so lucky next time!"
With that, the black-robed man attacked Fang Yue again.
His figure was like the wind, becoming a black afterimage that flickered rapidly around Fang Yue, launching a series of sharp attacks.
The reason Transformation was called Transformation was because, at this stage of cultivation, one used a Secret Medicine to refine the traits of certain Demon Beasts into one’s own body, thereby gaining the abilities of that beast.
The Demon Beast the black-robed man had refined was from the Shadow Leopard family, a species of ferocious predator renowned for its speed.
With the help of the Secret Medicine, he had integrated the Shadow Leopard’s traits into his legs, gaining its astonishing speed and agility.
