"Twenty energy fruits. Whoever collects them first gets to take it."

Xiao Mu casually stated the price.

Zheng Yun and Chen Wu were stunned for a moment. Soon, an idea occurred to them, and they rapidly pulled out their cellphones.

A flying sword fragment for twenty energy fruits was not a bad deal, the two immediately started gathering energy fruits.

However, as soon as they pulled out their cellphones they realised, they couldn't make a call from Putuo Temple.

Disappointedly putting away their phones, they couldn't help but glare at each other.

"Mr Xiao, can we exchange contact information? As soon as I get back, I'll immediately start gathering energy fruits," Chen Wu spoke.

"Mr Xiao, please give me a way to contact you too, I will ensure I gather twenty energy fruit as fast as possible to purchase from you," Zheng Yun refused to be outdone.

"Alright."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, agreed, and gave them his contact information, which both Zheng Yun and Chen Wu eagerly noted down.

Xiao Mu put away the flying sword fragment and the divine sword, looking delightedly at a dark golden pill the size of a thumb joint on the altar table.

That was his ultimate goal in entering Putuo Temple: the boundary-breaking pill. A pity there was only one.

However, even one was enough for Xiao Mu.

After storing the boundary-breaking pill, Xiao Mu turned his gaze to a lotus lamp on the altar table.

More precisely, he was looking at the flame on the lotus lamp.

This was a purple flame, emanating an astonishing aura, it seemed to burn eternally.

This was the Lingyan flame that Qingyan Monk needed.

Xiao Mu knew that although the Lingyan flame might seem harmless, in reality, one couldn't touch it without a special container. Otherwise, even a powerful being in the fourth realm would be burned to ashes.

This was probably why the Greenfin clan didn't touch the Lingyan flame.

But Xiao Mu was not deterred.

He casually took out the octagonal colored glaze bottle given to him by Qingyan Monk, turned it upside down with the mouth facing the Lingyan flame, poured in some Dao Method Spiritual Energy and muttered 'collect'.

With that, the Lingyan flame automatically flew out of the lotus lamp, being collected into the octagonal colored glaze bottle.

With that, all of Xiao Mu's tasks were considered complete.

"Let's go."

He made a signal to Zheng Yun and Chen Wu, then walked toward the back of the temple by himself.

In no time, he entered the inner temple, walked to the large door next to it and pushed it open.

This large door was a special space gate with teleportation abilities. As it opened, one would be teleported outside of Putuo Temple.

Although it would be some time before Putuo Temple closed, Xiao Mu had obtained everything he wanted, so there was no reason to remain.

Suddenly, Xiao Mu found himself outside Putuo Temple.

He pulled out his phone, used it to locate himself, and found that he had been teleported over a hundred kilometres west of Putuo Temple.

He immediately contacted Qingyan Monk, telling him that he had exited the temple, had obtained the Lingyan flame, and asked him to meet.

Upon receiving the message and knowing that Xiao Mu had successfully retrieved the Lingyan flame, Qingyan Monk was overjoyed, and told Xiao Mu to wait for a bit, he would be there shortly.

Xiao Mu stood and waited. Not long after, he saw a streak of Qing Yan light flying toward him at at least ten times the speed of sound and knew Qingyan Monk had arrived.

"Master."

Xiao Mu rose to his feet, clasped his hands towards Qingyan Monk, then took out the octagonal colored glaze bottle and handed it to him, "This is the Lingyan flame you wanted, Master."

"You've done a great job!"

Qingyan Monk's face showed joy. After thanking Xiao Mu, he carefully took the bottle with great regard, and carefully stored it.

He looked at Xiao Mu and nodded, "Your strength, it seems you're close to breaking through to the fourth realm. I congratulate you in advance."

"I gratefully accept your encouraging words, Master!"

Xiao Mu responded politely.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic. My young friend, you should breakthrough as soon as possible. Don't forget to report to the Offensive and Defensive Alliance of all races in the human world once you have broken through."

The Qingyan monk sighed subtly expressing his worries.

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but become serious.

If something makes even a powerful being like the Qingyan monk feel worried, then the future must be extremely dangerous.

In that case, he really should breakthrough as soon as possible.

However, there was something he didn't understand, "Master, you said that I should report to the Offensive and Defensive Alliance of all races in the human world?"

The Qingyan monk nodded and said, "It's a good thing. Every strong person does this. In the current circumstances, it's difficult to survive alone. When you register with the Alliance, you can get help from the Alliance when necessary. Of course, everyone has to do something for the Alliance."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu nodded and pondered the meaning of the Qingyan monk's words.

Doing something for the Alliance, he didn't object to it. In fact, he has been working for the Alliance all along.

"I can see that you can't wait to go back and breakthrough. The old monk will not disturb you now. Let me know when you have broken through. Goodbye."

After bidding farewell to Xiao Mu, the Qingyan monk turned into a green light and left.

Xiao Mu stood alone at the original spot and thought for a while, then drove away in the Fire Dragon Vehicle.

When he returned to his place, he began to prepare for the breakthrough.

The first thing was to collect enough energy fruit to charge to the perfection of the Third Realm.

He sold off some exotic fruit in exchange for energy fruit.

In total, Xiao Mu now had fifteen energy fruit in his hand.

With so many energy fruit, it was more than enough for him to charge to the perfection of the Third Realm.

He consumed one energy fruit after another, refining and improving his strength. After eating the eleventh energy fruit, Xiao Mu's strength reached the perfection of the Third Realm.

After a short rest, he got himself in the best condition and then started to breakthrough.

He took the Boundary Breaking Pill and began to work on breaking through.

The effect of the Boundary Breaking Pill was surprisingly good. As soon as he took it, Xiao Mu felt as if the Dao Method Spiritual Energy in his body was suddenly boiling, constantly striking his whole body.

His body seemed to have expanded.

This was a sign of qualitative change and growth in the Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

After all, the increase in strength from the Third Realm to the Fourth Realm was so great, it was essentially a huge qualitative change.

After an unknown period of time, suddenly...

With a bang, it seemed like a door had been opened.

The Dao Method Spiritual Energy in Xiao Mu's body solidified in an instant, becoming more than twice as solid.

This solid Dao Method Spiritual Energy flowed in his body as if it were tangible, and at the same time, in Xiao Mu's eyes, the world became clearer.

Tongxuan Realm.

This is the term for the fourth realm in Daoist cultivation.

Tongxuan, meaning after reaching this step, one can truly communicate with more profound things between heaven and earth.

This is just a part of what happens after the breakthrough.

Besides, Xiao Mu also felt that the Dao Method Spiritual Energy in his body has a faint trend of breaking away from the Mortal Realm and transforming into the True Realm.

Of course, it's just the beginning. Once it's fully transformed, he will be able to transform from the mortal to the true and completely jump out of the current level.

Xiao Mu slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

He hadn't expected his breakthrough to be so smooth.

Next, he should focus on making some other improvements in the Fourth Realm. This time when he entered Putuo Temple, he gained nearly two hundred energy points.

So many energy points are enough for him to do a lot.
