Chapter 117: The Four Heroes of Canglan

"What's going on... How did he break through?" the short and chubby cultivator asked in a trembling voice. It was beyond his expectations that Qin Jun hadn't been killed by the Black Poison Mist Flower, and now he had even broken through!

Unfortunately, no one could answer him, and his three companions were equally incredulous.

Li Yuanba, on the other hand, was not surprised. After all, he was already a transcendent figure in the Earth Immortal Realm, and a minor breakthrough in the Golden Core Realm was nothing remarkable in his eyes.

Time passed quickly.

Li Yuanba quietly accompanied Qin Jun, but the four cultivators did not leave. Although they were unwilling to lose the Black Poison Mist Flower, they also realized that Qin Jun was not reckless, but truly capable.

To break through the Golden Core Realm at such a young age was rare, and naturally, they wanted to make friends with him.

In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea's worth of time had passed.

The Poisonous Dragon did not return, probably scared off by Li Yuanba.

"Phew..."

Qin Jun slowly opened his eyes, and the purplish-black color on his face faded at a visible speed, and the Black Poison Mist Flower in front of him had completely withered.

He had actually cultivated the first layer of the Indestructible Holy Body, which made him immune to all poisons!

What's more, he had also leveled up!

Awesome!

Wait, damn, I was just about to break through, and now leveling up directly means no reward!

Qin Jun suddenly realized the problem and quickly brought up his attribute list to check:

"Host: Qin Jun!"

"Race: Human!"

"Level: Third Layer of Golden Core Realm (94240/150000 experience points)!"

"Bloodline: None!"

"Artifact: Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear (Heavenly High Grade), Desert Eagle (Yellow High Grade)!"

"Treasure: Purple Gold Emperor's Armor!"

"Divine Ability: Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang!"

"Cultivation Technique: Indestructible Holy Body (Ancient Body Refining Technique), Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique (Heavenly High Grade), Qi Refining Technique (Ordinary Middle Grade)!"

"Summoned Gods and Demons: Daji, Roaring Celestial Hound, Emperor Guan, Fa Hai, Tai Bai Jin Xing, Dragon Maiden, Li Yuanba!"

Thank goodness!

The original experience points were not reset.

Qin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but he also understood that with each breakthrough in the Golden Core Realm, the required experience points would be fifty thousand more than the previous level. And by cultivating Qi for a day, he could only increase his experience points by two to three hundred, relying on the power of the Heavenly High Grade cultivation technique. If he used the Qi Refining Technique, he would only increase a little each day, showing how difficult it was to break through each level of the Golden Core Realm.

Thinking of this, he slowly got up, his whole body covered in cold sweat. The pain of his previous cultivation made him shiver at the thought.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Qin Jun raised his eyebrows at the four cultivators not far away, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

The leader of the group in brocade hurriedly explained, "We just want to make friends with the extraordinary young master."

Make friends?

A playful look appeared on Qin Jun's face. He smiled and said, "Don't you hate me for taking this flower?"

"Natural treasures belong to the strong. How could we resent it?" the man in brocade said with a smile. It was a joke; with Li Yuanba standing by, how could they dare to resent it?

At this moment, the straightforward and chubby cultivator pointed to the withered Black Poison Mist Flower and said, "Can we have it? Although it has withered, it can still be used as a medicinal herb. One of our juniors was injured by an enemy and needs the Black Poison Mist Flower for medicine."

Qin Jun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had almost indirectly caused someone's injury.

Although this world was filled with gods and demons, he still had his own principles. Besides, the Black Poison Mist Flower was no longer useful to him, so he decided to do a good deed and give it away. He waved his hand and said, "You can take it."

The four men's eyes lit up. They didn't expect Qin Jun to be so easy to talk to. The chubby cultivator hurried over to pick the Black Poison Mist Flower, lest Qin Jun change his mind.

"I am Su Mingsheng, and we are the Four Heroes of Canglan," the man in brocade introduced.

The Four Heroes of Canglan?

What a peculiar title.

Qin Jun couldn't help but mock in his heart. The Canglan Kingdom, the Qianyue Kingdom, and even the Southern Zhuo Dynasty were all part of the righteous faction, so the chivalrous spirit was prevalent. However, in essence, it was still a world of the survival of the fittest, where the strong would not care about such things.

According to the biographies Qin Jun had read, the distinction between righteousness and evil in this world was actually very simple. The righteous killed without hesitation, and the evil used cruel methods. Everyone lived for their own interests.

"I'm Chen Da!"

"I'm Chen Er!"

The twin cultivators introduced themselves, making Qin Jun think of a certain brainless animation from his previous life.

After picking the Black Poison Mist Flower, the chubby cultivator, Sun Ling, also came over to introduce himself, "I am Sun Ling, nice to meet you, young master."

"I'm Qin Jun." Qin Jun smiled and arched his hand, but his name surprised Su Mingsheng and the others.

Su Mingsheng arched his hand and asked, "Are you the Crown Prince of the Qianyue Kingdom?"

Qin Jun nodded slightly, causing them to look at each other in surprise.

Sun Ling sighed, "Truly deserving of being ranked among the top talents. Breaking through the Golden Core Realm at such a young age, Old Su, he is even more outstanding than your son."

"Yes, my useless son is proud of becoming the kingdom's number one talent, but compared to the Crown Prince, he is far inferior," Su Mingsheng lamented.

The kingdom's number one talent?

Could his son be Su Liejie?

Qin Jun's mind stirred, then shook his head and said with a smile, "You don't need to flatter me. Well, I should continue on my way. If we have the chance, we'll meet again amidst the green mountains and clear waters!"

With that, he turned and left, with Li Yuanba following closely behind.

Watching their departing figures, the four men felt deeply moved.

"What a phrase, 'amidst the green mountains and clear waters.' The Qianyue Kingdom will surely rise because of this young man," Su Mingsheng sighed sincerely. Qin Jun's identity was special. If he were a disciple of a sect, it would be fine, but he was a prince. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely become the emperor in the future.

Sun Ling slapped his head and exclaimed, "Old Su, it seems like your son is waiting for Qin Jun at the Falling Cliff Pass, preparing to challenge him."

"Wow! Is this for real?" Su Mingsheng was no longer calm. Although Su Liejie was the top among the younger generation of the Canglan Kingdom, he had not yet broken through to the Golden Core Realm, and he couldn't compare to Qin Jun, who had already reached that level.

Even Chen Da and Chen Er looked at Su Mingsheng with sympathetic eyes.

His son was really reckless!

Especially after seeing Li Yuanba's performance, they dared not provoke Qin Jun. With Su Liejie's arrogant attitude, he might anger Qin Jun, and if he were to be killed by Qin Jun, Su Mingsheng would not be able to seek revenge.

"Let's go! We'll split up. You take the Black Poison Mist Flower back, and I'll go to the Falling Cliff Pass," Su Mingsheng said in a deep voice, and his three brothers naturally did not object.

On the other side, Qin Jun and Li Yuanba emerged from the thick fog and joined the team.

"Your Highness, you didn't encounter any danger, did you?" Jia Xun hurriedly asked nervously. Now he saw Qin Jun as the hope of the kingdom and didn't want anything bad to happen to him.

Qin Jun waved his hand and smiled, "No, I'm fine. I even made a breakthrough. I'm now at the third level of the Golden Core Realm!"

When it's time to show off, you have to show off!

In life, one must show off when successful, otherwise, what's the difference from a salted fish?

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him, and Ye Xuan and the others, especially Qin Yun, almost knelt down.

Especially Qin Yun, as he looked at Qin Jun's breakthrough to the third level of the Golden Core Realm, while he was still lingering in the Qi Refining Realm, the huge gap made him wish he were dead.

Are they still real brothers?
