  Lieteng, who was in a coma, did not know that his body was undergoing earth-shaking changes at this moment. The original force of the Danhai explosion poured into Lieteng's body, causing every muscle and bone to absorb a lot of original force. This step is a must for every cultivator who wants to condense their dan. At the most critical moment, Lieteng accidentally stumbled upon the correct steps to condense his dan. The process was one of destruction followed by rebirth - only after the Danhai was broken could the spiritual energy rush into all parts of the body and improve it. However, for ordinary people, this would involve their soul entering the Danhai, at which point it could be called a divine soul. But Lieteng's case was different. Nevertheless, it seemed that Lieteng had successfully condensed his dan in a strange way, and the changes he underwent were greater than those of an average cultivator.

  At this time, Lie Teng's body was no longer a single red color, but rather a mixture of red with faint purple-black and pale yellow. Ordinary people who were struck by spiritual energy would achieve the effect of washing their marrow, causing their bones to become crystal clear. However, Lie Teng's skeletal frame was instead a faint purple-black color. The golden elixir formed by ordinary people after condensing their dan was gold in color, but Lie Teng's was purple-black.

  A dark purple golden elixir the size of a dragon eye floated in the midst of the Elixir Ocean, constantly rotating on its own. A dense spiritual energy emanated from it, and this spiritual energy was no longer pale white (the usual color after forming an elixir) but rather dark purple. Not only did Lie Teng's body undergo a transformation, but his spiritual energy also changed due to the strange golden elixir. This change for Lie Teng could be either good fortune or disaster; only when he awakened would he know.

  The spiritual array in the room was still running, with thick spiritual energy emerging from the formation and filling the room. Along with Lie Teng's gentle breathing, it surged into his body. At this moment, Lie Teng's face underwent a subtle change, but upon closer inspection, it was unclear how to describe it. His face had turned into Qing Yun's, but after the Dan was formed, Qing Yun's face transformed into Lie Teng's original appearance. Although Qing Yun had long since passed away, his soul belonged to Lie Teng, and due to this reason, this body's appearance would eventually change back to its original form.

  When Lie Tong woke up, he only felt extremely comfortable all over his body. He opened his eyes and looked at the small room, his gaze falling on the ceiling. Lie Tong didn't feel any surprise, but rather a bitter taste. At 18 years old, he had died and his soul had come to the Cultivation Realm. By 20 years old, he had occupied Qingyun's body. By 25 years old, he had gathered four layers of spiritual energy. Now, at 32 years old, he could be considered middle-aged in the Dragon String Continent. Today, he had reached the Dan-forming stage, which for ordinary cultivators was undoubtedly a step into the true cultivation hall, allowing him to fly through the air. But for Lie Tong, this was just a small step, indicating that he had gained 500 years of lifespan to struggle and improve his cultivation. Lie Tong didn't dare think about what level he needed to reach in order to take revenge. He knew that Jun Wuqing's cultivation had probably already surpassed the strongest great enlightenment period cultivators in the Cultivation Realm. This alone was like a mountain peak pressing down on Lie Tong's heart, not to mention that Jun Wuqing was an even stronger cultivator beyond the great enlightenment period.

  "Hah!" Lie Teng let out a heavy sigh, and a forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself: "No matter what, as long as I've reached the stage of forming a dan, it means that everything still has hope. As long as there's hope, that's good enough!" Lie Teng's face was once again filled with confidence and determination, suppressing the burden in the depths of his heart.

  Lieteng slowly stood up, his bones making a "crackling" sound like stir-frying beans, and his entire body had grown significantly taller, now reaching six feet five inches. His clothes had also become much smaller. Lieteng's mouth twitched as he felt an overwhelming surge of power. He couldn't help but want to examine the situation inside his body. When he looked inward and saw the new Danhai, Lieteng was stunned.

  "What's going on with my Dan Sea? How can it be like this?" Lie Teng stared at his purple-black Dan Sea, momentarily stunned. He had checked the records of others before and found that after reaching the stage of forming a Dan, their Dan Seas were all golden in color, but his own was actually purple-black? However, when he saw the capacity of his Dan Sea, Lie Teng's heart skipped a beat - according to the normal size of a person's Dan Sea, his own had almost reached three times that of an average person!

  Feeling the rolling spiritual energy emanating from the Danhai and entering the meridians, mixing with the soul power to form the original power, Lie Teng was stunned for a moment. Except for Yan Se, his own spiritual energy had become much stronger than before. Although Lie Teng vaguely suspected that the reason was that he had reached the Condensing Dan period, where spiritual energy would undergo a sharp change, but at this time, the purple-black spiritual energy really seemed to be just different from Yan Se's. Lie Teng wanted to see clearly what his Golden Dan looked like, but found that except for the purple-black spiritual energy, nothing else could be seen through, and he couldn't see what was inside the Golden Dan.

  Lieteng was momentarily at a loss for what to think, everything was because of the demon-sealing bottle that caused him to be unable to separate his soul during the formation of the elixir, and yet it had transformed into this appearance.

  "Hopes are blessings, not disasters!" Lie Teng sighed in his heart. Reaching the Condensation Period had increased his mental state and strength by several times. When he became aware of his appearance, Lie Teng suddenly froze for a moment. His eyes trembled slightly as he slowly sat down. After reaching the Condensation Period, he could initially control the changes in his muscles. Lie Teng wanted to restore his original appearance, no longer that of Qing Yun's, but one that belonged to him, Lie Teng.

  Gradually, the muscles on Lie Tong's face twitched in a certain rhythm. In less than a minute, his face underwent a dramatic transformation. Originally, it only slightly resembled its former appearance, but now it was over 80% similar to how he used to look. His face was like jade, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes. Compared to before, Lie Tong now had an added air of maturity and elegance, making him even more handsome than he was in his youth.

  When Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes, the black and white pupils sparkled, and a slight arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth as he stood up, his hands caressing his face, Lie Teng gradually fell into a daze, memories of past days floating in his mind. Lie Teng sighed, suppressing the thoughts in his heart once again, muttering: "From today on, there is no longer Qing Yun in this world, only Lie Teng!!" After speaking, Lie Teng walked out of the room with a calm face.

  Hun Tian Cheng, a large dan medicine shop in the east.

  Lieteng changed into a new set of clothes and then entered the shop called "Xian Dan Pu", where Po Hai Dan was purchased.

  "Friend, what do you need?" As soon as Lie Teng entered, a staff member came to greet him. Lie Teng shook his head and smiled faintly as he scanned the store, finally landing on an old man with white hair at the deepest counter in the store. The old man had a youthful face despite his white hair, with a ruddy complexion that made him look spirited and alert. Lie Teng walked directly towards the old man.

  "Old Zhen, it's been a while." Lie Teng smiled and greeted the old man. The following staff saw this, slightly stunned, but did not continue to follow.

  The old man slowly raised his head, his bright eyes fixed on Lie Teng, revealing a look of astonishment: "Lie Teng? You've broken through?"

  "Lie Teng can break through, or rely on Zhen Lao's words!" Lie Teng said with a hint of respect. He was surprised that the old man could recognize him at a glance.

  Zhen Lao smiled and sized up Lie Teng, his gaze gradually fixed on Lie Teng's abdomen. His eyes showed extreme surprise, but it was only a flash, and then he said with a faint smile: "Not bad, being able to form the elixir is also a kind of enlightenment. Cultivate well, after forming the elixir, you will truly discover how small you are. Only by constantly improving your cultivation can you stand higher."

  "Thank you, Master Zhen," Lie Teng said.

  "Go to the Beast Arena to hone your skills. Only by experiencing life and death, staining your hands with blood, and stepping on the corpses of your enemies can you truly become strong. Here are ten bottles of elixir, consider them a gift from me, I hope you can come out alive from the Beast Arena and see me." Zhen Lao waved his right hand, and the ten bottles of elixir appeared on the counter, while Zhen Lao gazed calmly at Lie Teng.

  Predator's Arena? Lie Tong was shocked in his heart, in this Mixed Sky City, Lie Tong had naturally heard of the Predator's Arena. This Predator's Arena was similar to the Hunting Grounds of Flame City, but more dangerous. The Hunting Grounds were one floor per arena, while the Predator's Arena was three floors per arena. In other words, if Lie Tong entered the Predator's Arena, he would be entering the first to third floor of the Predator's Arena, meaning that Lie Tong would face cultivators from the first to third floor of the Concoction Realm.

  A cultivator of the Three-Layered Congealing Dan is far stronger than a three-layered spiritual beast, despite being at the same level. Although the spiritual beast has an extremely strong innate talent, the cultivator's possession of a magical treasure poses the greatest threat, just like Lie Teng having the Eight Desolations Seal to annihilate three-layered spiritual beasts.

  He had just broken through to the Gathering Spirit stage and reached the first layer of the Congealing Dan, yet he was already being sent to the Beast Fighting Arena? Fine, with the Heaven-Defying Shield and the Eight Desolations Seal, he should be able to protect himself from death. Lü Teng's thoughts were racing like lightning, he couldn't understand why Zhen Lao would send him to the Beast Fighting Arena, but he had a deep respect for Zhen Lao. He couldn't see through Zhen Lao's cultivation, which meant that he was a high-level expert above the fourth layer of the Congealing Dan stage. More importantly, Zhen Lao's words had awakened something in Lü Teng, making him feel grateful towards Zhen Lao. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Lü Teng felt that this Zhen Lao was not as simple as he seemed.

  After a long period of contemplation, Lie Teng's face gradually became solemn. He glanced at Zhen Lao and nodded: "Lie Teng thanks Zhen Lao!" Lie Teng didn't engage in excessive pleasantries, and stored the ten bottles of elixir into his storage ring.

  "Remember, being strong is not just about physical strength, but more about mental strength! Only when the heart is strong can one be truly considered strong." Zhen Lao finished speaking and sat down, continuing to flip through the book he was reading earlier.

  Lie Teng's body stiffened for a moment, and he carefully considered the words of Zhen Lao. It seemed as if he had gained some insight, and with gratitude, he glanced at Zhen Lao before turning to leave.

  When Lieteng walked out of the store, Zhen Lao slowly raised his head, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "Good perception and willpower, young man. I look forward to seeing you come out of the Beast Arena. Hehe, ten bottles of elixir are just an investment. After all, I'm just a businessman now!"

  P.S. There's still one more update tonight, I've been suffering from a stuffy nose for the past few days, woke up at 3+ in the morning and couldn't sleep, so the updates will be slower, bear with me, continue writing.
