《Legend of the Transcendent》


 Chapter 1: Predestined Fate

    <h4>Chapter 1: Predestined Fate</h4>


    "Mi Youran! I''ll fight you to the death!"


    A woman, an extremely beautiful woman who appeared to be a delicate young woman, chased after a muscr man.


    "Stop, stop, Sister Luo, please...I understand, don''t hit me, don''t hit me..."


    Mi Youran ran away with his head in his hands, while the woman''s water sleeves keptshing out with a loud sound. Mi Youran begged for mercy repeatedly. Just then, a crying sound came, and the woman panicked.


    "Don''t cry, baby, Mommy''s here!" In an instant, she shed to the side of a delicate crib floating in the air.


    Mi Youran had a mournful face. This woman was really unreasonable! He followed behind her with a dejected look, his eyes shining with love.


    "Baby, don''t cry, Daddy''s here!" Luo Mei picked up the baby and shouted at Mi Youran, "Get out of here! Do you still think you''re the father? You wanted to abandon the baby, and I..."


    Before she could continue, the baby began to cry even louder.


    "Don''t cry, baby, Mommy wants you!" Luo Mei''s face showed an extremely gentle expression as she gently swayed the baby in her arms.


    Mi Youran''s face was full of bitterness.


    "Wife, we have offended many top experts in the cultivation world. There are so many top experts chasing after us, and we have also offended experts in the evolutionarymunity. If it were just the two of us, we could handle it, but with the baby..."


    Luo Mei knew that her husband was proficient in the Book of Changes and skilled in divination. Although his calctions were not unparalleled in the world, they were still very urate. Especially when it came to deducing a person''s good and bad fortune, his uracy was unparalleled.


    However, in this situation, she was unwilling to abandon the baby.


    "I am a cultivator in the Mahayana period. Whoever dares to touch us, I will wipe out their entire family!"


    Mi Youran was also extremely anxious. He couldn''t help but shout, "It''s easy to wipe out someone''s entire family, but with the baby, we will not be okay, the baby will die!"


    Luo Mei held the baby with one hand and swung her water sleeve with the other,shing out.


    Mi Youran did not dodge, and the water sleeve hit him in the face, causing him to stagger and fly out! Luo Mei''s face also showed a painful expression.


    "Idiot, can''t you dodge?"


    "Just give me a hit, can''t you calm down and listen to me?" Mi Youran''s face was full of bitterness.


    "I won''t listen! I won''t listen! I won''t listen!" Luo Mei shouted.


    "You will kill our baby!" Mi Youran yelled.


    After hearing this, Luo Mei immediately became quiet, tears streaming down her face.


    Even though she was a cultivator in the Mahayana period, even though she was a top expert in the cultivation world, she was just like an ordinary mother, who loved her child deeply.


    This time, Mi Youran was the one who panicked. He went up and hugged his wife.


    "Sister Luo, wife, don''t cry, don''t cry! Don''t worry, I will deduce a way out for us, and let our baby grow up safely."


    "I want to take the child with me..." She looked at the child tenderly, tears falling one by one.


    Mi Youran suppressed his agitation. He knew he couldn''t be hasty, he had to persuade his wife."I also want to... but for the sake of having this child, we have robbed so many sects'' treasures. We relied on the Evolutionary Sect''s treasure to finally have this baby, but we have also offended too many experts and sects. If it were just the two of us, we wouldn''t be afraid, but with the baby, we can''t protect him. He''s too fragile and too small!"


    Luo Mei looked at Mi Youran with teary eyes.


    "Husband, what should we do? How can we protect our precious baby?"


    Mi Youran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Luo Mei called him husband, it meant that she had regained her sanity. Otherwise, there would be more trouble.


    Luo Mei and Mi Youran were a famous pair of cultivator partners in the cultivation world. They became dual cultivation partners in the Nascent Soul stage and, after a long period of cultivation, finally reached the position of top cultivators through many difficulties.


    However, Luo Mei had reached the Mahayana stage, and for some reason, she suddenly wanted a child of her own. But it was extremely difficult to have a child at the Mahayana stage. Therefore, the couple spared no effort to search for treasures everywhere, hoping to use their power to conceive their own offspring.


    After hundreds of years of searching and robbing countless sects'' treasures, Luo Mei still did not be pregnant. It wasn''t until they robbed an Evolutionary Sect treasure that they finally fulfilled their wish and gave birth to a healthy baby boy.


    Mi Youran was proficient in the Book of Changes. One day, he spected for the child and found out that if the child followed them, he would not live past three years old. This cmity was fated, and this result shocked Mi Youran.


    As ast resort, Mi Youran told Luo Mei, which was also the reason that caused Luo Mei to be angry.


    The cmity of fate!


    As long as he followed them, this little baby would not survive!


    Even if Luo Mei and Mi Youran were extremely powerful, even if Luo Mei was one step away from ascending to immortality, the two of them knew in their hearts that their baby son would not be able to avoid this cmity.


    Luo Mei looked at her son with teary eyes. This child resembled her. He already showed the potential of a handsome man at such a young age. After all, both his parents were cultivation experts. It was rare for cultivators to have offspring after the Nascent Soul stage.


    At this moment, the child had fallen asleep. Luo Mei carefully put him into the cradle suspended in the air and blocked the sound with a wave of her hand so as not to disturb him.


    How to resolve this, Mi Youran needed to find a way.


    With Mi Youran''s master-level calction ability, he could actually find a way at a certain cost.


    Regardless of the cost, Mi Youran was willing to pay it. Their only son was also his wife''s beloved child. How could he hold back? He would definitely go all out.


    The couple worked together to calcte their son''s fate. Although Luo Mei was not as good at deduction as Mi Youran, she was a super powerful expert in the Mahayana stage, the top existence in the cultivation world. With her help, her husband''s deduction would be more urate.Since the two of them couldn''t live with their son, they had to calcte where they could escape the disaster. No matter how they calcted it, one thing waspletely the same: they couldn''t personally raise this child.


    Every time this result came out, Luo Mei would make a big scene. Actually, she didn''t hate her husband, she just felt extremely ufortable.


    Luo Mei finally gave up on the idea of personally raising the child and helped her husband calcte how to keep the child alive.


    Mi Youran even built arge gossip tform, using many famous magic treasures and spiritual tools, and even consumed eight demon spirits and 108 fierce ghosts to forcefully calcte.


    When the result of the calction came out, both Luo Mei and Mi Youran were dumbfounded. The result was that their son could only survive in the Evolutionary Community. It should be noted that both of them were super masters in the Cultivation World and never looked down on Ascension. Letting their son be an Ascension practitioner? That''s simply unreasonable!

 Chapter 2: Vitality

    <h4>Chapter 2: Vitality</h4>


    The origin of Evolutionary Immortality is very mysterious. Thousands of years ago, there was once a Buddhist Sect in the Cultivation World. The people of the Buddhist Sect had a huge conflict with the Cultivators. After a shocking battle in the Wilderness, the Buddhist Sect disappearedpletely. After a few hundred years, Evolutionary Immortality appeared in the Cultivation World.


    There are many simrities between the practices of Evolutionary Immortality and the Buddhist Sect, and the Cultivators are hostile towards the Buddhist Sect. Evolutionary Immortality is often caught in the middle of these conflicts. This is why Luo Mei and her husband cannot bear to send their child to Evolutionary Immortality.


    Furthermore, Evolutionary Immortality relies solely on the power of mantras for cultivation, which is far inferior to the Cultivators. This is unbearable for the proud couple.


    What makes Luo Mei most helpless is that many in Evolutionary Immortality practice asceticism. They are not high and mighty Cultivators, and they like to establish their sects in ces where mortals live. Their living conditions are extremely simple. In the Cultivation World, Evolutionary Immortality is nicknamed the Beg Sect, or the Beggar Sect.


    When all eight demon spirits and one hundred and eight fierce ghosts were consumed, the couple looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Although Luo Mei''s face was smiling bitterly, tears were falling from her eyes.


    "My...my...my son going to the Evolutionary Sect, to practice Evolutionary Immortality? I..."


    Mi Youran was also unwilling, rubbing his hands vigorously.


    "I''ll calcte it again!"


    Luo Mei shook her head and wept. She had already epted Mi Youran''s calctions in her heart.


    "Forget it...sob...I can''t bear it! Even if it means my son can keep his life, I''ll ept it even if we have to leave..."


    Mi Youran felt miserable. In fact, he understood that when they fought for the treasure of the Evolutionary Sect, although they did not kill anyone, they injured countless experts in the Evolutionary Community. One of them was even a super expert with the Evolutionary Dragon Throne, who was also injured by the couple.


    The Evolutionary Community is the most causality-oriented, so their son has to bear the consequences. ording to the calctions, if their son cultivates, his chances of survival are really small, whether they are with him or not. But if he practices Evolutionary Immortality in the Evolutionary Sect, he can find a chance to survive.


    The couple are both experts in Daoism, and they understand this principle very well. It''s just that Luo Mei loves her son too much, which makes her lose her mind. Once she regains her senses, she understands that her son must take this path, and there is no other way.


    She really can''t bear it. With Luo Mei''s high cultivation level, her aptitude is among the best in the Cultivation World. But once it involves her only son, she loses her mind. All her reason and intelligence go to waste.


    Mi Youran is different. He is more concerned about his son''s future.


    "As long as our son can survive, any price is worth paying!"


    Luo Mei loses her mind for a moment and hits Mi Youran, shouting, "That''s my son! I don''t want him to suffer. I don''t want him to leave...I''d rather pay the price myself than have my son pay it!"


    Mi Youran can only let his wife vent her anger. Fortunately, although Luo Mei is furious, she knows she cannot use her cultivation level to attack. But even without using her cultivation level, she still beats Mi Youran ck and blue because he doesn''t defend himself with his cultivation level, wanting his wife to calm down.After being beaten up, Luo Mei regained her senses and immediately regretted it. She pulled on Mi Youran''s sleeve and said, "You fool, why didn''t you dodge?"


    Mi Youran reached out and hugged Luo Mei. "I understand, don''t worry, I''m here." Although he was not good atforting people, Luo Mei was stillforted by him.


    Luo Mei was at her wits'' end. Within two years, she had to send her child away as early as possible and could not have any contact with her husband, otherwise it would harm the child. This made her very difficult to ept, especially once she let go, she couldn''t even see her child, which made her extremely frustrated.


    Mi Youran had been calcting all along. He had to find the best ce to ensure that his son would be adopted and would not be in danger. This kind of deduction was a brain-burning activity that even his cultivation level in thebined period could not handle. He had to rely on his wife to help.


    Needless to say, Luo Mei was also doing her best to find the best solution. Her husband''s calctions were extremely important, just like before when they acted, her husband would calcte. The reason why the couple could reach such a cultivation level and roam the cultivation world was that Mi Youran was proficient in Yi Jing and Ba Gua.


    Finally, Mi Youran looked up. "I found it! I found a suitable ce!"


    ********************


    The bleak autumn wind swept across the mountains, and the earth was dyed with brilliant colors. Golden, deep brown, and bright red, mixed with mottled remnants of green, wereyered and rendered, as if the forest and the earth had put on colorful new clothes.


    As the wind passed, red, yellow, and brown leaves floated down, piling up a thickyer of golden color on the ground.


    The sunlight shone through the branches and fell on the ground, dotted with faint golden spots, revealing a hint of warmth.


    The mountain wind swept through the treetops, making a rustling sound and startling a group of ravens that cawed and circled in the air.


    In the evening, the sound of the evening drum faintly came from the Western Expansion Sect, along with the chanting of mantras and the nging of bells, which echoed back and forth in the valley. The curling smoke rose from the sect.


    It was a peaceful and serene autumn.


    Behind the Western Expansion Sect was the famous Xishan Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was an endless maple forest. In the autumn, the maple forest was a sea of red, and the maple leaves, under the setting sun, looked like leaping mes, unusually bright and eye-catching.


    A white-d young man walked out of the picturesque maple forest.


    The scene was extremely beautiful, but upon closer inspection, the young man looked a bit disheveled. His hair, tied into a bun, was a bit messy, and his white clothes were actually patched together, with all the coarse cloth patches washed white and the original colors long gone. The patched clothes had also torn in several ces, leaving traces of tearing.


    The white-d young man was Mi Xiaojing, an evolutionary immortal of the Western Evolutionary Sect. He still had lingering fears in his eyes, as he had just encountered a lone wolf on the mountain. Even though he was an evolutionary immortal, he was still scared.On the western mountain, there were wolves. This was not a new thing. In the past, winter was the time when wolf packs were active because they couldn''t find much food and had to search and attack everywhere. However, in autumn, there were few wolf attacks on humans because food was always abundant in autumn. Wolves were always very smart, and they wouldn''t attack humans unless they had no other choice.


    But this time, Mi Xiaojing encountered a lone wolf, and it was a hungry lone wolf. So he had to face it alone. The wolf was so hungry that it didn''t care about anything else and its only thought was to eat the fresh meat in front of it.

 Chapter 3: Mi Xiaojing and the Wolf

    <h4>Chapter 3: Mi Xiaojing and the Wolf</h4>


    Although the lone wolf was fierce, it was much better than a pack of wolves. After all, there was only one wolf. If a pack of wolves came, Xiaojing would cry.


    This lone wolf had arge frame but was skinny, with bloodthirsty eyes. It was already hungry and how could it give up on staring at the meaty Xiaojing?


    Although Xiaojing was an Evolutionary Immortality disciple, he had never fought with humans or wolves before, and was naturally extremely nervous. He was already at the stage of "Yuan Jue" in Evolutionary Immortality and had his own means.


    However, Xiaojing was too nervous and only shouted loudly while holding the hoe, trying to scare away the lone wolf.


    The lone wolf revealed its white fangs, snarling and drooling, with drops of saliva slipping from its teeth. It made a growling sound in its throat, and its two wolf eyes gleamed with excitement.


    Ao!


    The lone wolf suddenly let out a roar and leaped forward like lightning with its hind legs.


    Xiaojing suddenly threw away the hoe in his hand and raised his palm, spitting out a word in horror: "Stop!"


    In mid-air, the lone wolf was hit hard by the invisible hammer of the word "Stop" that came out of Xiaojing''s mouth. This attack was not aimed at the body but the soul of the lone wolf.


    Although the lone wolf was stunned by the attack of Xiaojing''s word, its inertia was still there, and its whole body mmed into Xiaojing, with its front paws alsonding on Xiaojing''s shoulders.


    Xiaojing was obviously also frightened, staring nkly at the lone wolf.


    There was no fierceness in the lone wolf''s eyes anymore, and its eyes seemed to be spinning in circles. It was knocked out by the word "Stop."


    Xiaojing lifted up suddenly, and the lone wolf slid down weakly, whimpering.


    Simrly, Xiaojing also went weak and sat down on the base of the big tree.


    "I''m scared to death...Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless me, Evolutionary...that blessing..."


    The lone wolf suddenly became fierce, biting Xiaojing''s arm hard. Xiaojing screamed in fright.


    "Waaah, you bit me...you bit me...my flesh is not tasty...ah! Huh, it doesn''t hurt?" His mind was in a mess.


    If Xiaojing carefully observed his arm, he would have found faint golden Spirit Script characters shing under his skin. However, his arm was now in the wolf''s mouth, and he couldn''t notice anything.


    In panic, Xiaojing used his hand to pry open the wolf''s mouth.


    "You bad wolf! You cunning and treacherous scoundrel!"


    He dragged the wolf and swung it hard, mming it against the big tree.


    The lone wolf was also furious. ording to its experience, when it bit down, wouldn''t there be sweet blood and tender meat? Why couldn''t it bite down? Why couldn''t it bite down? The wolf went crazy.


    After several consecutive strikes, the lone wolf howled in pain, and its mouth finally loosened.Mi Xiaojing immediately grabbed the wolf''s neck with both hands and pressed its body tightly. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to do. The lone wolf''s four ws kept scratching and digging on the ground, leaving four small pits in no time.


    In fact, with Mi Xiaojing''s evolutionary cultivation strength, killing a wolf was very easy. He was already at the level of Perception in the Evolutionary Immortality stage, equivalent to theter stage of Qi cultivation of a cultivator. Not to mention one wolf, he could even fight a group of wolves. However, he was only thirteen years old and had nobat experience, which made him panic like this.


    Pressing the wolf''s head hard and pressing down with his whole body, Mi Xiaojing exerted all his strength.


    "Wolf, don''t eat me. I''ll let you go... okay? May Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless me. Wolf, I haven''t vited any killing precepts. Don''t make me vite them..."


    The lone wolf howled in pain, and Mi Xiaojing was almost choking it to death.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to talk with the lone wolf while pinching its neck with both hands.


    "Wolf, Master said that we should influence the evil people in the world. If evil people can be influenced, can''t a wolf be influenced too? May Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless me... Wolf, will you be influenced?"


    The lone wolf struggled desperately. If it could cry, it would have cried its heart out. It was already struggling to breathe, let alone eat people. Moreover, it couldn''t understand what Mi Xiaojing was saying.


    Hearing the lone wolf''s continuous howling, Mi Xiaojing continued to talk.


    "Oh... you must have repented, right? Okay, if you repent, I''ll let you go... Remember, don''t eat people in the future!" He said, loosening his hands.


    The lone wolf felt its neck loosen, and it quickly crawled to the side and ran towards the forest, looking at Mi Xiaojing with terror and fear in its eyes. It let out a low howl and was almost scared to death!


    Mi Xiaojing had a solemn expression on his face, and he folded his hands together.


    "May Evolutionary''s Ancestors be merciful. I have influenced a hungry wolf!"


    Mi Xiaojing lowered his head.


    "Wow, my patchwork clothes! This stupid wolf, lone wolf, damn wolf! You owe me my patchwork clothes! If I had known, I wouldn''t have let you go... Ah..."


    Mi Xiaojing only had three sets of clothes to rece, all of which were these patchwork clothes that he wore all year round. They had been washed so many times that they had turned white, and there were patches on top of patches. But because the coarse cloth was strong, he could still wear them for a while, but now they had been torn apart by the wolf''s ws.


    Mi Xiaojing called out a few times and then reflected on himself.


    "Ah, I almost became angry again. Calm down, I need to calm down!"


    Finally, Mi Xiaojing calmed down. He looked at the sky and realized that it was already afternoon. It would probably be evening by the time he returned to the Western Evolutionary Sect. He then picked up his backpack and the small hoe and slowly walked down the mountain.Walking out of the maple forest, Mi Xiaojing saw the Western Evolutionary Sect in the distance, with smoke rising from its chimneys. He could already smell the faint fragrance of food and couldn''t help but quicken his pace towards the sect.


    This area was within the sphere of influence of the Evolutionary Sect, and the Western Evolutionary Sect had control over this piece ofnd. It was not an ordinary sect, but an evolutionary sect that practiced Evolutionary Immortality. Although it was a small force, it had its own territory.


    Like the cultivation sects, the Evolutionary Sect also had a very broad mass base in this world.


    There were countless cultivation sects with various schools and practices, and the Evolutionary Sect was no exception, with various sects and forces practicing different types of Evolutionary Immortality. The Western Evolutionary Sect was a sect that leaned towards the ascetic school of Evolutionary Immortality.

 Chapter 4: Enlightenment stage

    <h4>Chapter 4: Enlightenment stage</h4>


    Although the Western Evolutionary Sect is small, it has more than three hundred people, but the true Evolutionary Immortals are no more than sixty people, they are the real masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect, and the others are mortals, servants,borers, helpers, and employees, nearly three hundred of them, who are the true bottom of the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Although Mi Xiaojing is only thirteen years old, he is a true Evolutionary Immortal disciple and has a good position in the Western Evolutionary Sect, with his own formal ce for cultivation.


    Walking along the tall courtyard wall of the Western Evolutionary Sect, he soon arrived at a corner gate and entered the backyard, where the meditation room was located.


    Mi Xiaojing sneaked towards the meditation room. He had skipped morning and afternoon sses today and would be scolded by the master. Just as he thought that, someone said to him.


    "Well, little junior brother, you skipped ss again!"


    Mi Xiaojing trembled with fear.


    "May the Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless me, who is talking nonsense!" he turned his head to look.


    Standing at the gate was Zhang Ke, the head chef of the kitchen. He used to be Mi Xiaojing''s senior brother, but because Mi Xiaojing caught up with him in cultivation level during the Enlightenment stage, he became his junior brother. He was already in his forties and could not advance to the next level in this life. He and Mi Xiaojing had a good rtionship.


    The Enlightenment stage is equivalent to the Qi Refining stage in the Cultivation World, and it is also divided into three stages: Conversion, Cultivation, and Enlightenment.


    Zhang Ke, at the age of forty, was still in the Conversion stage and could not even reach the Cultivation stage, but Mi Xiaojing was different. He was only thirteen years old, but had already reached the Enlightenment stage. As long as he umted enough, he might be able to advance to the next level.


    Therefore, the young Mi Xiaojing was actually Zhang Ke''s senior brother. Fortunately, Zhang Ke took care of him when Mi Xiaojing just started to cultivate, and as the head chef, he always left some food for Mi Xiaojing. The two had a good rtionship.


    Zhang Ke looked disheveled, with a big belly, and a super fat man. He had a smile on his face.


    "Little junior brother, this time... hey, who hit you? Your clothes are torn!"


    Mi Xiaojing looked pleased, but deliberately pretended to be indifferent.


    "I met a lone wolf, but I influenced it and it no longer bites people... I released it. May the Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless me, bless me withpassion, and bless me to educate the lone wolf..."


    Zhang Ke was extremely surprised.


    "What? A lone wolf... influenced by you? It doesn''t bite you? What''s going on?" His ent was always heavy, and in his mouth, "what" meant anything.


    Mi Xiaojing briefly exined the process.


    Zhang Ke suddenly opened his mouth and burst into a wildugh."Hahaha, hahahaha! Haha... hahahaha!"


    "May Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless us, junior brother, you''llugh yourself to death!"


    Zhang Ke pointed at Mi Xiaojing,ughing until tears streamed down his face.


    "Haha, is... is it because of Evolutionary Immortality''s mercy that you''reughing? Haha, it''s because you almost strangled it to death, isn''t it, junior brother? Haha, where''s the mercy in that... haha! It ran away scared, okay, haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing was annoyed by Zhang Ke''sughter, but he couldn''t help butugh at hisical appearance.


    In the end, the two of them wereughing like lunatics by the Moon Gate. After a moment, Zhang Ke realized that Mi Xiaojing wasughing even more exaggeratedly than he was, and he was stunned. Gasping for breath, he asked, "Junior brother, what are youughing at?"


    "Haha, I''mughing at the ridiculous person..."


    Zhang Ke was dumbfounded.


    "What do you mean?"


    Mi Xiaojing finally stoppedughing and smugly walked towards the inside with his basket on his back, saying as he walked, "It''s the heart of Ascension, Zhang Ke junior brother. Youckprehension..."


    Zhang Ke waspletely confused. The heart of Ascension? The ridiculous person? What''s the connection?


    Muttering to himself all the way, Zhang Ke followed Mi Xiaojing to the front of the house. Mi Xiaojing looked up at the sky.


    "Junior brother, is it time for dinner?"


    Zhang Ke was suddenly shocked and shouted before turning around and running away.


    "Junior brother, help me wake up our senior brotherter... May Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless us!" He was in charge of the kitchen and this was not the time to chat. It was getting dark.


    He ran away quickly.


    Mi Xiaojing chuckled. He knew that as long as he said something that was seemingly true but actually false, he could make Zhang Ke dizzy. This was his best weapon against him.


    He arrived at his own small house. It was a small brick and wood house with arge courtyard wall on one side and arge Bodhi tree on the other. There were two vegetable gardens behind the house where he grew some vegetables and herbs.


    The house had only three rooms, with the one closest to the courtyard wall being Mi Xiaojing''s small room. The other two rooms were upied by his senior brothers, but they followed the elders of the sect to Lingcang Gate outside Tusi City, so they wouldn''t be back for a year.Outside the door of the room was a green stone tform about six feet long and two and a half feet wide, on which were drying the herbs, wild fruits, and vegetables that Mi Xiaojing had picked. These were his own goods, because in the Evolutionary Sect where he practiced asceticism, everything from food to clothing was extremely simple.


    It was one thing for Mi Xiaojing not to eat meat, because he had never eaten meat since he was a child, but it was another thing to eat nd food that he couldn''t bear. He always had to find something ptable to eat. Practicing evolutionary immortality was actually very physically and mentally demanding, and without proper nourishment, it would be difficult to endure.


    This was also why Mi Xiaojing often skipped ss. The sses here were not school sses, but special sses for evolutionary cultivation. There were morning, afternoon, and evening sses, usually reciting mantras and sometimes a senior master woulde to preach the mantras, which were important daily activities for the evolutionary cultivators.


    Mi Xiaojing livedfortably in the Western Evolutionary Sect, because he had not taken a master, so he was not restrained by any master, and he had grown up in the sect, so almost everyone knew him, and he was considered a little boss in the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Skipping ss was normal for Mi Xiaojing.


    Opening the door, the small house did not need to be locked, nor was there a lock. Mi Xiaojing put his backpack at the door and walked into the room.


    The room was not big, with a dirt bed taking up half of the room, a low-legged table standing at the foot of the bed, a red and shiny bamboo mat on the bed, and a bedspread full of patches neatly folded on the bed, but there was no cotton in the bedspread, and it was as white as a patched garment.

 Chapter 5: Ten Thousand Character Mantra Banner

    <h4>Chapter 5: Ten Thousand Character Mantra Banner</h4>


    There was a rush cushion on the adobe bed, which Mi Xiaojing used when he practiced cross-legged and chanted mantras.


    Next to the bed was a small Evolutionary niche with a small altar on which three small pottery bowls were ced side by side. The middle one was used as an incense burner with several burnt incense sticks inserted. This was Mi Xiaojing''s position for worshipping Evolutionary''s Ancestors. The two bowls on either side contained wild fresh fruits, which were offered to Evolutionary''s Ancestors.


    Beside the entrance to the room was a small bamboo bookshelf that Zhang Ke had given him. He was skilled in bamboo weaving when he was still ayman. The bookshelf was neatly arranged with some Buddhist scriptures.


    Next to the bookshelf were several stacked bamboo boxes, which actually contained nothing but some tattered patched clothes and some needles, threads, and coarse cloth. Mi Xiaojing had learned to sew and mend his clothes since he was five years old.


    The whole room was extremely simple but clean and spotless. No matter how old or worn out it was, Mi Xiaojing had to keep it clean. He absolutely did not allow himself to be dirty and messy. The room was the same. Every morning, Mi Xiaojing would carefully clean the room and sweep the courtyard.


    After tidying his backpack, he put some wild fruits, herbs, and vegetables on the stone tform to dry. Then he carried a wooden bucket to the well next to the corner door.


    He drew a bucket of water and returned to the front of the room. He took a simple bath with a coarse cloth, dried his body, changed into a patched cloth, and tidied up the room.


    A kitchen worker came over with a bamboo food box and bowed respectfully.


    "Master, this is tonight''s dinner."


    "Uncle Zhao, leave the food box at the door. I''ll take it back myselfter."


    Zhao nodded and put the food box at the entrance of the Zen room before leaving.


    Mi Xiaojing picked up the food box and put it on the bed table before opening it. As long as you reached the third stage of the Enlightenment period, you were eligible not to eat in the dining hall and enjoy the privilege of having your food delivered to your door. As a sect of the Evolutionary Immortality, the food of the Western Evolutionary Sect was always extremely simple. When he opened the food box, there were only fourrge bowls of mixed-grain steamed buns, a big bowl of vegetable soup, and a small dish of pickles. This was Mi Xiaojing''s dinner.


    Of course, after so many years, Mi Xiaojing had already gotten used to it. At most, he would take out some pickled vegetables or hot sauce to adjust the taste. One steamed bun was almost half a kilogram, and four mixed-grain steamed buns were enough to fill his stomach.


    After eating and drinking his fill, he returned the food box to the kitchen and sat cross-legged on the rush cushion on the adobe bed to begin his evening practice. This was the real time for him to practice.


    At this stage of practice, it was an umtion process that required persistent practice. There was no need for any special techniques or methods. Simply put, the current practice was to chant mantras, evolve the body, and develop the treasure of one''s own body.


    The so-called Evolutionary Immortality was to have a treasure in one''s body and to evolve it with a single thought.


    Once a disciple who had converted to the Evolutionary Sect reached the Conversion period, a certain Evolutionary form would appear in his or her mind, such as an imaginary fish or an imaginary object that wasmonly used in daily life. There were many different forms, and almost none of them were the same.


    These were all low-level Evolutionary forms. Generally speaking, disciples who had such an Evolutionary form in their minds after conversion were unlikely to have a high level of cultivation. Their Evolutionary mind and nature were rtively poor, and theirprehension was not high.


    Those with better aptitude would have imaginary Evolutionary weapons such as cauldrons, battle clubs,rge axes, and treasure swords. These Evolutionary disciples were more inclined to fight and were thebat-oriented Evolutionary disciples in the Evolutionary Sect.


    The more advanced ones included long gs, huagai, lighthouses, treasure banners, mantra banners, and so on. There were even imaginary dragons, golden tforms, and the image of Evolutionary''s Ancestors.After Mi Xiaojing converted, what appeared in his heart was a tower, a tower that had just emerged with only one level. By now, it had grown to two and a half levels, also known as the Heart Tower.


    What Mi Xiaojing didn''t know was that there was a subtle little dot in his Heart Tower. This dot was located at the base of the virtual tower. If Mi Xiaojing could see clearly, he would discover that it was another tower.


    In other words, there were two towers in Mi Xiaojing''s heart, one nested inside the other.


    This tower was famous in the Evolutionary Community, the Ten Thousand Word Mantra Banner!


    Of course, with Mi Xiaojing''s current level of cultivation, he couldn''t see this treasure of the Western Evolutionary Sect. The Evolutionary Treasure was hidden inside Mi Xiaojing''s virtual tower. In fact, his conversion was also due to the influence of the Ten Thousand Word Mantra Banner.


    When Mi Xiaojing recited the mantras, they were all basic mantras, with one character as the main focus. He could now recite two-character mantras, but he stumbled a bit. Once he became proficient in reciting two-character mantras, his strength would increase by one level.


    The power of the mantras was divided into release and collection. When cultivating, reciting mantras was to cultivate the Heart Tower, to enlighten oneself with the wisdom and power of the mantras.


    Every time he recited the mantras, they would manifest on his virtual tower, as if reciting once would make the tower more solid. And the written mantras would appear on the base of the tower. There were already many characters on the base that didn''t need to be recited, but would appear on their own.


    Mi Xiaojing had already understood that this tower was actuallyposed of mantras. Of course, he didn''t know that his Heart Tower was actually influenced by the Evolutionary Treasure, the Ten Thousand Word Mantra Banner, and had formed and grown.


    Mi Xiaojing was already very proficient in reciting mantras. Even before he learned to speak, he listened to various mantras every day. By the time he started to ascend at the age of ten, he had already be self-taught and could recite many mantras.


    Holding a string of Evolutionary Wood-carved Prayer Beads in his hand, as he recited the mantras, the beads quickly moved on his fingertips. Each movement was an Evolutionary Blessing. As Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level grew, the beads would also give birth to some kind of will.


    Mi Xiaojing made this string of Prayer Beads himself. When he converted to the Evolutionary Sect, he happened to obtain an Evolutionary Wood core. The quality was so good that even the head of the Western Evolutionary Sect was a little envious. However, he didn''t want topete with a child, so he left the core to Mi Xiaojing.


    Evolutionary Wood and Tiang Wood were known as the two great woods of the Evolutionary Sect. They were excellent materials for making Evolutionary Prayer Beads. Of course, the Evolutionary Sect also had other woods, such as the Dragon-Subduing Wood, Western Sandalwood, and Agarwood, which were high-quality materials for making Evolutionary Tools. But when it came to making Prayer Beads, Evolutionary Wood was the best of the best.


    Mi Xiaojing personally polished eighteen Evolutionary Wood beads, which had been coiled for three years. This was his only self-made Evolutionary Tool. Every time he practiced, he would take it off his wrist, recite the mantras, and move the beads. After three years, they had be shiny and glossy, and could reflect light.

 Chapter 6: Ascension Road

    <h4>Chapter 6: Ascension Road</h4>


    The eighteen Evolutionary Wood Beads represent the eighteen realms, including the six senses, six dusts, and six consciousnesses.


    The Evolutionary Wood Beads correspond to the Mantra Banner in the heart. Every time Mi Xiaojing cultivates, hebines his hands, eyes, mind, and speech, so cultivating the Mantra Banner in his heart is also cultivating the Evolutionary Wood Beads in his hands. Theyplement each other.


    Mi Xiaojing doesn''t know that when he recites the mantra, faint golden words will fly out of the Mantra Banner andbine with the words he recites. Then they fly into the virtual tower, and with the power of the tower, the sounds and words that would have easily dissipated stick to the virtual tower.


    At the same time, a small amount of golden words is sealed in the eighteen Evolutionary Beads, gradually changing them. In fact, they y a role in blessing the beads, and after a certain amount of time, the beads will be special weapons. Currently, they are just embryos.


    After a night of cultivation, the Mantra Tower bes a little more solid and a little higher, but it''s hard to tell if you''re not paying attention.


    The sound of chickens crowing marks the start of a new day. Mi Xiaojing''s spirit and energy have fully recovered after a night of cultivation. He gets up from the bed and goes to the empty space in front of the meditation room. He starts punching, not to fight, but to stretch his muscles and promote blood flow. After sitting all night, he needs to move his body.


    This set of punches is short, only about ten movements. It''s called the Evolutionary Fist. Mi Xiaojing does it twice and then stops. After a simple wash-up, he climbs onto the roof of the house and starts breathing exercises facing the east, where the sun rises.


    In both the Evolutionary Community and the Cultivation World, there are simr cultivation methods that involve collecting a bit of Qianyang purple energy. However, in the Western Evolutionary Sect, only Mi Xiaojing does this. It''s not something his master taught him, but rather something he was born with. The real reason is that the Mantra Banner has influenced him.


    As the sky turns from pink to red, and the morning glow fills the sky, a golden light jumps out of the maple forest. In an instant, Mi Xiaojing takes a deep breath, and a trace of purple energy enters his spiritual realm, then goes straight into the virtual Mantra Tower in his heart. Suddenly, the whole virtual tower emits a purple light.


    The sun rises from the maple forest in the east, and in just a moment, the time to absorb this bit of purple energy is gone. Since he started cultivation, Mi Xiaojing has had to absorb this bit of purple energy on the roof every day, except when it''s raining or cloudy. For him, it''s a natural habit, like eating, drinking, sleeping, and going to the bathroom.


    As soon as this bit of Qianyang purple energy ispletely absorbed into the virtual tower, Mi Xiaojing climbs down from the roof.


    The Mantra Banner quietly absorbs this bit of Qianyang purple energy again. Due to Mi Xiaojing''s low cultivation level, he cannot nourish the Mantra Banner himself. Only this bit of Qianyang purple energy can support the Evolutionary Treasure Mantra Banner.


    The Evolutionary Treasure is hidden and will only reveal its brilliance once it recognizes its master. So far, no one has discovered that Mi Xiaojing possesses this treasure of the Evolutionary Sect. Even if the experts of the Evolutionary Secte, they won''t be able to see through it.Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that there was a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect in his heart tower, so he always thought that his heart tower cultivation was normal and that anything that appeared was normal. Because he didn''t have this knowledge, he wouldn''t have any doubts. After all, he had only been cultivating for three years, and he was only learning basic Evolutionary studies in the Evolutionary Sect, and his cultivation had just begun.


    After finishing his homework, Mi Xiaojing didn''t practice during the day. In the autumn, he had to go up the mountain to pick all kinds of wild fruits, vegetables, and many herbs that were harvested in the autumn. If he didn''t go up the mountain at this time, there would be nothing to harvest when the heavy snow fell.


    Most of the Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect had to go up the mountain to collect mountain goods, such as walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and other wild fruits. After processing them, they could exchange them for some needles, thread, coarse cloth, hemp clothes, and seasonings at the market. Some things could be made by themselves, but some could not, such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, which had to be exchanged.


    Of course, the Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect wouldn''t go to the market to exchange these mountain goods themselves. They usually asked the hired workers or long-term workers of the Evolutionary Sect to do it. Like Mi Xiaojing, he had already umted a lot of dry goods, and at the end of each month, there would be long-term workers going to the market, and he could ask them to take away the goods and exchange them for the daily necessities he needed.


    .


    Therefore, autumn was the busiest season for the Evolutionary Immortals, and the Western Evolutionary Sect only provided meals. Everything else had to be taken care of by themselves. The Evolutionary Immortals lived a hard life, but of course, the Evolutionary Sect that practiced asceticism was always like this, which was also a kind of practice.


    The asceticism of the Western Evolutionary Sect was still rtively peaceful. Some other Evolutionary Sects practiced even harder. They only had one meal a day, wore clothes that didn''t cover their bodies, didn''t have a house to live in, and had to practice in the deep mountains, enduring the wind and sleeping under the stars. If they didn''t have a firm will, they would never be able to persist.


    Mi Xiaojing swept the yard clean with a broom, cleaned the room again, and lit three incense sticks in front of the Evolutionary altar. This was the daily ritual that he had to do, and Mi Xiaojing was quite devout about it.


    After finishing everything, Mi Xiaojing picked up his backpack and prepared to go up the mountain.


    Just as he walked to the corner gate, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child running over.


    "Brother Xiao Mi, Master Zeng Li is inviting you."


    Those children who were not yet ten years old were the preparatory disciples of the Evolutionary Sect, and they were considered the next generation in the Western Evolutionary Sect. Most of them were sent by mountain vigers, and many of them were orphans or abandoned at the gate of the mountain and were adopted by the Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect. Mi Xiaojing was also adopted in this way.


    Mi Xiaojing patted the child''s head.


    "Okay, I''ll go."


    As he spoke, he took out a few roasted walnuts and handed them to the child.


    With his backpack on his back, Mi Xiaojing came to the room on the side of the central courtyard, which was where the first seats lived.


    The Western Evolutionary Sect had three first seats: the Jue Jue Hall, the Guan Fa Hall, and the Jue Xing Hall. Zeng Li was the first seat of the Jue Jue Hall, and Mi Xiaojing was under the jurisdiction of the Jue Jue Hall in the Western Evolutionary Sect.In other words, Master Zeng Li is Mi Xiaojing''s direct superior. In the Evolutionary Sect, the superior-subordinate rtionship is very clear, and the status is also different. Like a cultivation sect, there are clear levels, and the position of the first master is very high in the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing gently knocked on the door and waited quietly outside.


    An old voice sounded, "Come in!"


    Mi Xiaojing pushed open the door and walked in.


    The room was twice as big as Mi Xiaojing''s room, with arge earthen kang upying one-third of the space. It was decorated simrly to Mi Xiaojing''s room, with a bamboo bookshelf, an additional desk, and several bamboo boxes in the corner.


    An Evolutionary Sect altar was ced on the altar table, with an incense burner, two offering tes, and three sticks of incense burning, emitting a faint smoke.

 Chapter 7: Collecting Rent in Fenglin Village

    <h4>Chapter 7: Collecting Rent in Fenglin Vige</h4>


    Master Zeng Li sat cross-legged on a y kang, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. He used a string of 108 prayer beads, silently reciting the mantras.


    The mantras he recited could turn the virtual into reality. Each mantra character emitted a faint golden light, appearing out of thin air and then being collected into the prayer beads. It looked incredibly magical.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to disturb him, just standing there watching Master Zeng Li recite the mantras.


    Master Zeng Li was already over sixty years old, but he was in great spirits. He had two ck eyebrows and a pair of sharp eyes. He was also wearing a patched-up Bai Nai clothes. Although he was sitting and reciting mantras, his back was straight.


    After a while, Master Zeng Li finally looked up.


    "Mi Xiaojing, we''re going to collect rent in Fenglin Vige today. You''reing with us. Go back and get ready. We''ll be staying in Fenglin Vige for two days."


    Mi Xiaojing was confused.


    "Master, isn''t collecting rent not the responsibility of the monitoring yard? Why do we have to go?"


    "You don''t need to ask about these things. If I tell you to go, you go."


    "Yes, Master."


    Master Zeng Li yed with his Evolutionary beads.


    "These days, there will be a caravan going to Fenglin Vige. You can bring some of your mountain goods to exchange for some things."


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. Caravans! It was really hard to see caravans here in the Western Evolutionary Sect. Usually, there was only hope in the autumn because the caravans woulde to the vige to buy grain. At this time, every family had grain, and they could exchange some daily necessities and groceries.


    Collecting rent in Fenglin Vige was actually a good job for the Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately said goodbye and rushed back to his room. He had collected a lot of mountain goods.


    Mi Xiaojing took two baskets of mountain goods, including many walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, and dried mushrooms. There were also a few dried wild vegetables, which were difficult to exchange for things and mostly kept for their own use.


    There were a total of eight ox carts, two of which were filled with mountain goods. They belonged to Mi Xiaojing''s senior and junior brothers, as well as some long-term hired workers who collected more things. Among them were many wild game, dried and smoked meat, and dried chickens and ducks.


    More than ten people went, with Master Zeng Li leading the way, as well as some disciples of the monitoring yard. Mi Xiaojing also sat on the ox cart.


    Fenglin Vige relied on the Western Evolutionary Sect for survival. Thend here was developed by the masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect and then rented to the vigers for cultivation. Every year, rent had to be collected. The people in the vige were actually tenants and hired workers of the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    The Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect not only had to collect rent, but also had to protect the safety of the vigers. Every winter, there would be wolves or tigers and leopards and even terrifying spirit beasts appearing in the West Mountain and Jing Mountain. The vigers had to rely on the Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect to protect them.


    In the spring of each year, the Western Evolutionary Sect would send Evolutionary Immortals to develop newnd, which would also be rented to the vigers.


    In the autumn, when the crops were ripe and the tenants in Fenglin Vige had finished harvesting, it was time for the Western Evolutionary Sect to collect rent. The Western Evolutionary Sect was located at the foot of the West Mountain, opposite to the Jing Mountain. A small river flowed through the mountain gate, along the valley bottom of the West Mountain and Jing Mountain, crossed arge area of maple forest, and arrived at Fenglin Vige. From Fenglin Vige, it continued to converge into the Jingxi Lake. This small river was also called the Jingxi River.


    Along the dirt road beside the Jingxi River, the eight ox carts bumped along and arrived at Fenglin Vige after about an hour.At the entrance of Fenglin Vige, there was an ancient maple tree that had grown for thousands of years. At this moment, it waspletely red, like a huge torch standing at the entrance of the vige.


    The old vige chief led a group of young men to wee them at the entrance. He came to Master Zeng Li and bowed respectfully.


    "Master, you''ve worked hard. All the masters have worked hard."


    "Master" was a respectful title, and "teacher" was the same. Mortals referred to cultivation as "Evolutionary Immortality," and most of them used "Master" or "Teacher" to address their masters.


    The group followed the ox carts directly into the vige and then entered the vige chief''s house.


    The vige chief''s house was thergest in Fenglin Vige. He was originally the agent rmended by the Western Evolutionary Sect and was a prominent figure in the vige. New vigers who wanted to beborers or tenants had to be guaranteed by the vige chief, or they could not beborers or tenants of the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    The vige chief''s house was divided into a front courtyard and a back courtyard, with two houses in total. They were both one bright and two dark, with a bright hall in the middle and dark rooms on both sides. The front courtyard was veryrge, and the back courtyard was where the family lived.


    In fact, the front courtyard was the rent collection yard. Eight ox carts entered, and there was still plenty of space. There was a livestock shed along the courtyard wall, and the oxen were driven into the shed, where someone cut grass to feed them.


    The mountain goods were also unloaded and ced in the dark room, waiting for the caravan toe and exchange for the needed goods.


    The vige chief''s aunt greeted them warmly and set up arge table in the front courtyard for the masters to eat.


    Mi Xiaojing had already sat down at the table with several senior brothers. For them, this meal was definitely better than the food in the Western Evolutionary Sect. Mi Xiaojing was also pitiful. He had lived for thirteen years but had never eaten anything good. If it weren''t for Master Zeng Li bringing him along for the rent collection, he wouldn''t have had the opportunity toe, as he was not a disciple of the Monitoring Academy.


    White steamed buns, thin hand-rolled noodles, ayer of red chili oil, and ayer of chopped scallions on top. Braised eggnt, stir-fried peanuts, pan-fried tofu, stir-fried snow vegetables with soybeans... Although they were all cooked in vegetable oil, where could one find such rich dishes in the Western Evolutionary Sect?


    The group of masters went crazy and ate like gluttons. Even Mi Xiaojing, who could eat a lot, finished the table of dishes in no time.


    Master Zeng Li, however, ate very little. He only ate two steamed buns and didn''t eat much else. Looking at his disciples'' eating habits, he couldn''t help but shake his head and sigh. With his level of cultivation, he was no longer tempted by food. His profound cultivation allowed him to resist the temptation of food.


    Mi Xiaojing almost swallowed his tongue, but he quickly realized that it was not good for his cultivation. After finishing the meal, he kept reciting mantras to suppress the temptation of food.


    For Mi Xiaojing, as long as it wasn''t bad-tasting, it was good enough. Delicious food was like clouds in the sky. He had experienced it once, but he wouldn''t be tempted again.


    Of course, if truly delicious food came his way, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know if he could resist it. But after reflecting and repenting, he was at ease.


    In the afternoon, they collected rent, which was not heavy for the Western Evolutionary Sect. Generally, tenants ate better than the sect''s masters because they could eat meat. They raised their own chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs, and some even went hunting on the Western Mountain Path. The masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect were the ones who suffered, as they couldn''t eat meat.

 Chapter 8: The Child Who Gathers Radishes

    <h4>Chapter 8: The Child Who Gathers Radishes</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t need to do anything. He just had to watch on the side. The rent collected was mainly wheat and sorghum, with a small amount of millet, a small amount of rice, soybeans, and some red and green beans, all very ordinary grains.


    Some tenants didn''t have so much grain, so they could contribute some rough cloth they wove themselves. Other tenants would also give some offerings, mainly dried radish, pickled vegetables, dried chili, garlic, and other things.


    The front yard of the vige chief''s house was bustling with peopleing and going. The noisy voices made Mi Xiaojing feel restless. He was always a solitary person, and the sect was a quiet ce. Even if he went up the mountain, it was very quiet, and he rarely encountered such noisy crowds.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t leave the front yard for the time being. His status was actually quite high. It should be noted that although the Evolutionary Sect was peaceful, it was also a ce with strict levels. Mi Xiaojing was thest stage of the Yuanjue period in Evolutionary Immortality, and he was the highest level in the Yuanjue period.


    .


    So among this group of masters, Mi Xiaojing''s status was second only to Master Zeng Li. Of course, Master Zeng Li was one realm higher than him. Master Zeng Li was in the Observing Dharma period, equivalent to the Foundation Building period of a cultivator. In the Western Evolutionary Sect, he was an absolute master.


    The originally noisy voices suddenly became louder, and a bunch of people squeezed in at the door. In Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, this was a family with ten or so men, women, and children.


    He asked the vige chief, "Uncle Vige Chief, is this a family?"


    A glint shed in the vige chief''s eyes. He was not a cultivator, but a person who practiced martial arts.


    "This is the Luo family, they are very domineering in Maple Forest Vige."


    The old man of the Luo family had four sons, and after they got married, they had twelve children. Six of them were already adults, plus their wives. Thisrge family had a lot of people and was a bully in the vige. Only the vige chief could suppress them.


    The whole family came, carrying baskets and pushing wooden carts. Thend they rented in Maple Forest Vige was among the top, with a lot of harvest and rent to be paid.


    The Luo family was rtively domineering in the vige, but they dared not show any disrespect to the masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect. Whether in terms of martial arts or strength, the Luo family was nothing in front of the masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect. They were very respectful in front of the masters.


    Mi Xiaojing watched on the side. The rent paid by the Luo family was all rice. He knew that the Luo family upied top-quality farnd, and only top-quality farnd could grow rice because it was irrigated by water. From this point of view, the people of the Luo family were indeed domineering.


    In addition to rice, the Luo family also gave arge jar of bean paste, which was a good thing. There were also various pickled vegetables, mainly pickled radish, which was dried pickled radish, with four baskets full. In other words, besides paying rent, the Luo family also gave a lot of offerings to the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Master Zeng Li was very satisfied with this. Looking at his attitude towards the old man of the Luo family, he knew that he was pleased with the Luo family.This kind of tenant is the most weed by the Western Evolutionary Sect. Even if they are a bit overbearing, the sect still tolerates them, and as a result, the Luo family is quite unscrupulous in the vige.


    Mi Xiaojing has a good impression of the Luo family. They pay a lot of rent and make a lot of offerings, which obviously shows that the Luo family values the Western Evolutionary Sect. As a master of the sect, Mi Xiaojing is naturally satisfied, just like Master Zeng Li.


    Moreover, the old man of the Luo family personally brought the whole family to pay the rent, and his attitude was extremely respectful, which made the masters of the Western Evolutionary Sect very satisfied.


    But soon, the masters frowned.


    When the Luo family entered, they were busy paying the rent. The old man of the Luo family was talking to Master Zeng Li when a child who looked only seven or eight years old came in from outside. He was so thin that his neck was extremely thin, and he seemed to have a hard time supporting such a big head.


    The clothes he was wearing were so worn out that they could barely cover his body. He struggled to drag a basket of radishes into the yard. He hadn''t gone far when he suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground. The radishes in the bamboo basket rolled out.


    Mi Xiaojing happened to see it, and he was about to go forward to help when the next scene stunned him.


    A very ugly man went up and kicked the child who was picking up the radishes on the ground directly, and then he followed up with a punch.


    Master Zeng Li shouted.


    "Stop it! You bastard!"


    Everyone could hear the anger in Master Zeng Li''s tone.


    Mi Xiaojing even suspected that this kick might have killed the child, and this man still wanted to hit him. He was also angry, and ran a few steps to the child''s side. He used his shoulder to bump the man hard, and a huge force burst out. The man staggered back and almost fell.


    The old man of the Luo family shouted, "Second son, get out of here!"


    The ugly man''s face turned purple, looking very angry.


    The old man of the Luo family apologized.


    "Master, I''m sorry, my grandson lost his temper."


    Master Zeng Li''s face was gloomy.


    "Is this child yours?"


    Mi Xiaojing had already helped the child up. He saw a footprint on the child''s shoulder, and there were several scratches on his face from hitting the ground just now. He couldn''t help feeling angry.


    "How can you be so cruel! He''s just a child!"


    The old man of the Luo family sighed.


    "Young master, I''m sorry. This is my grandson. The one who hit him just now... was his father."


    Suddenly, there was silence around them. It was a family matter, and outsiders couldn''t say anything.


    Mi Xiaojing was also helpless, but he still felt a little ufortable.


    "Even if he''s his father, he can''t hit his child like this!"


    The old man of the Luo family did not refute, knowing that if he did, it would probably anger the masters.


    "Yes, it''s my fault."


    A clean and neat apology made Mi Xiaojing speechless.The child''s face was covered in blood, the wounds on his face had just been wiped open again and blood was seeping out. Mi Xiaojing then noticed that the child''s body was covered in scars, with bruises and cuts all over. His ragged clothes couldn''t cover them up at all.


    "Alright, Second Brother, you take him home. Don''t embarrass us here!"


    The ugly man said, "Yes, Father, I''ll take him back." And then walked towards Mi Xiaojing.


    The child clung to Mi Xiaojing''s patched clothes, hiding behind him and trembling uncontrobly.


    "I, I won''t go home... I won''t go home... I don''t want to go home!"


    The ugly man was full of anger.


    "Come here, follow me!"


    The child held onto Mi Xiaojing''s clothes tightly and refused to let go. Mi Xiaojing squatted down and wiped the blood off the child''s face.


    "Let''s go home."

 Chapter 9: Cant Tell Things Clearly

    <h4>Chapter 9: Can''t Tell Things Clearly</h4>


    The ugly man looked impatient.


    "Hurry up! If you keep dragging your feet, you''re asking for a beating!"


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly feel the child trembling, and he was getting angry too.


    "Can''t you speak properly?"


    The ugly man immediately looked embarrassed and forced a smile, which made him even uglier. He said, "Come home with me!"


    "You''re not my dad, I don''t have a dad!"


    Zeng Li, the master, came over.


    "What''s going on?"


    The ugly man became furious and kicked out.


    "I''ll beat you to death, you little brat!"


    In his rage, not only did he kick the child, but he also hit Mi Xiaojing. Mi Xiaojing reached out and hit the ugly man''s heel, causing him to fly three meters and crash to the ground. Mi Xiaojing raised his hand.


    "May the Evolutionary''s Ancestors bless you... What do you want?"


    As a young master, he just waved his hand and a strong man flew out. The people from the Luo family were angry and surrounded Mi Xiaojing.


    Master Zeng Li lightly uttered a word, "Clumsy!"


    It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in everyone''s ears, and they were all shaken. Master Zeng Li remained calm.


    "What? Do you want to bully us?"


    The head of the Luo family''s face changed drastically.


    "Get out of here!"


    The men and women of the Luo family immediately came to their senses. They were facing the Western Evolutionary Sect, and although their master was usually friendly and kind to the vigers, the Western Evolutionary Sect was not an ordinary sect. They had Evolutionary Immortality and if they were provoked, their master would not hesitate to take action.


    Instantly, the Luo family''s arrogance was suppressed. Mi Xiaojing also understood why the vige chief said they were overbearing. Once they were provoked, it would be a family affair. Unfortunately, they had provoked the Western Evolutionary Sect this time. For ordinary families, even those who practiced martial arts, it would be extremely troublesome to deal with such arge group of people.


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the thin and weak child.


    "If you don''t go home, where will you go?"


    The child''s eyes flickered with confusion, but soon his expression became firm.


    "I won''t go back, I... I''ll follow you!"


    Everyone around was stunned by his words.


    Mi Xiaojing pointed to himself.


    "Follow me?" He was also dumbfounded.


    After all, Mi Xiaojing was struggling to survive himself, how could he possibly take care of a child?


    Master Zeng Li took a careful look at the child and shook his head. "You have no connection to Evolutionary Immortality."


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled. This was different from his understanding.


    "Why? Why is he not connected to Evolutionary Immortality?"


    The child whispered, "If I go home, I''ll be beaten to death!"


    The head of the Luo family became furious.


    "Nonsense!"The child trembled in fear again. Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what was going on with this family, but seeing the bruises on the child''s body, he had a gut feeling that the child was telling the truth. Even if the ugly man couldn''t kill him, he would definitely leave him half-dead.


    Master Zeng Li stood beside Mi Xiaojing.


    "Regardless of whether there is a connection with the Evolutionary Sect, since the child wants to leave, our Western Expansion Sect will take him in. Mi Xiaojing, you will take care of him from now on! Since you protected this child, it is your responsibility."


    Mi Xiaojing waspletely dumbfounded. Strictly speaking, he was also a child, just a big child. Taking care of a small child? But then he understood that by helping the child, he had already sown the cause, and taking care of him would be the effect.


    As someone who had been influenced by the Evolutionary Sect since childhood and was apassionate person, Mi Xiaojing could not refuse this request. If he didn''t ept it, the child would likely die. The principle of "saving one life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda" was something he understood.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded decisively. "Yes, Master Zeng Li, I will obey!"


    The two of them decided without even asking the old man from the Luo family. If you wanted to talk about being domineering, the Evolutionary Sect was truly domineering.


    After Zeng Li finished speaking, he looked at the old man from the Luo family. "Old man Luo, what do you think?"


    The Luo family didn''t like this child to begin with. When they saw this result, the old man from the Luo family didn''t have much to say. Would he dare to offend the Western Expansion Sect? They relied on the Evolutionary Sect''snd to live. If they offended thendlord, even if they didn''t lose their tenancy, they could still be forced to exchangend. He couldn''t handle that.


    The old man from the Luo family was extremely embarrassed. How could he not know how powerful they were?


    "Listen to Master Zeng Li."


    Zeng Li nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, everyone can go about their business now."


    The ugly man walked up to the old man from the Luo family and grumbled, "Dad...you..."


    Before he could finish his sentence, the old man from the Luo family pped him in the face, causing his head to sway.


    "Aren''t you embarrassed enough? Go home if you have something to say!"


    This p woke the ugly man up. He looked fearfully at Zeng Li before turning and leaving. In this world, not only were cultivators standing on the heads of mortals, but so were Evolutionary Immortals. It''s just that Evolutionary Immortals werepassionate, while Dao cultivators were fierce. Whether it was Evolutionary Immortals or Dao cultivators, mortals could not disrespect them.


    The old man from the Luo family regretted bringing the child here. After quickly paying the rent, he bid farewell with his family and left. As for the child, they acted as if they didn''t see him, without any instructions, goodbyes, or even acknowledgment.


    Mi Xiaojing bitterly smiled. He was already an orphan, but this child was even more pitiful. He had parents, grandparents, and siblings, yet theypletely ignored him.


    "This is uneptable."


    Mi Xiaojing was angry. He couldn''t stand this kind of scum.Master Zeng Li watched as the Luo family left, and he happened to see the child. The child''s eyes were filled with hatred and anger, staring at the back of the Luo family as they left. Master Zeng couldn''t help but think, "This child has a deep resentment. Perhaps it can be somewhat resolved in the Western Evolutionary Sect, but to cultivate... it''s impossible!"


    Mi Xiaojing squatted down.


    "What''s your name?"


    "I, I don''t have a name. They call me Big Head, sometimes Little Bastard... Freeloader..."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless for a moment, then he said, "You should be surnamed Luo. Hmm, let''s call you Luo Bo." He nced at the carrot that had fallen to the ground, and said irresponsibly.


    The child agreed, "Okay, Carrot it is!"


    "Not that carrot. Hmm, I''ll teach you how to write after you learn how to read."


    "Okay!"


    Because among all the people present, only Mi Xiaojing''s kindness made him feelfortable, especially when Mi Xiaojing lifted the ugly man and threw him to the ground. He truly felt an iparable sense offort and happiness.

 Chapter 10: Poor Master

    <h4>Chapter 10: Poor Master</h4>


    Since he was born, the one who has beaten him the hardest in the Luo family is the ugly man, who is his so-called father, of course, he has never recognized the ugly man as his father.


    As for others, including Master Zeng Li, they were all ignored by Luo Bo.


    Mi Xiaojing supported Luo Bo.


    "Master, give me a packet of medicine."


    "It''s not too serious, just rest for a few days."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly and shook his head.


    "Master,e and see for yourself."


    Master Zeng Li came to Luo Bo''s side, and Mi Xiaojing lifted his tattered clothes. Master Zeng Li couldn''t help but gasp.


    "This family... how can they be so cruel!"


    The injuries on Luo Bo''s body shocked Master Zeng Li. It takes a lot of cruelty to beat someone like this. It''s a miracle that this child wasn''t beaten to death.


    The vige chief''s face also changed as he watched from the side. The people in Fenglin Vige are generally simple and honest. He shook his head and said, "I didn''t expect old Luo to be so cruel. This is his grandson!"


    "It''s because of the people in the family that they are so cruel. Anyway, since we have left the child behind, let''s just leave it at that." Master Zeng Li took out a small bottle and poured out a pill the size of a silkworm pupa. After thinking for a moment, he poured out another one and said, "Can you use it?"


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyes lit up with surprise. This pill is a good thing.


    "I can use it. One pill is taken internally, and the other is used to wash the wound with hot water."


    Master Zeng Li nodded in agreement.


    "Yes, it''s best to let the child eat his fill first, otherwise he won''t be able to handle the medicine bath."


    The vige chief was very insightful. He said, "And there''s leftover steamed buns and cornbread. I''ll have my wife make them."


    "Boil more hot water." Mi Xiaojing picked up Luo Bo and said, "I''ll take you to eat."


    Luo Bo nodded hard, but his face was stiff. He had never smiled in his life.


    After a full meal, fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had some experience and didn''t let Luo Bo eat too much. It was obvious that the little guy was starving. If he had let him eat as much as he wanted, he would have choked to death.


    After the meal, the vige chief''s wife had already boiled arge wooden tub of hot water. Mi Xiaojing gave Luo Bo a pill, then soaked him in the hot water, and put another pill in the water. This medicine can be taken internally and externally, and its effect is extremely effective. It is a famous medicine in the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    After Luo Bo entered the wooden tub, his tense spirit rxed, and his wrinkled brow stretched out. The medicine spread out, making him feel much better, and the severe pain was gone.


    After a while, the little guy fell asleep. Mi Xiaojing was on the side, adding hot water from time to time. This time, the healing process required enough time to allow the medicine to soak into the body.


    This medicine is indeed a secret medicine of the Western Evolutionary Sect. After this healing, Mi Xiaojing can be sure that Luo Bo''s body will not have any hidden injuries.


    After soaking for three hours and adding hot water several times, it was finally time. Mi Xiaojing lifted Luo Bo, who was very light, and carried him to the kang. He wiped him down with a coarse cloth. During the process, Luo Bo nced at Mi Xiaojing drowsily, then fell asleep peacefully.This is probably the most peaceful moment in Luo Bo''s life.


    Mi Xiaojing poured out the medicine in the wooden bucket and then sat on the kang to start his evening practice.


    After saving Luo Bo, Mi Xiaojing discovered that the effect of his practice was significantly better than usual, which surprised him when he woke up in the morning. However, he was still young and didn''t know the reason behind it.


    As usual, he got up in the morning, washed up a bit, then punched the Yan hand twice in the yard, and climbed onto the roof to absorb the Qianyang purple aura facing the rising sun.


    Practice is ultimately a process of umtion, and it takes time to steadily grow.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was a bit different because he had the Evolutionary Banner with the treasure of the Mantra Banner. This thing was affecting him anytime and anywhere, making his practice speed quite fast. The most important thing was that Mi Xiaojing had a strong evolutionary nature due to the influence of the Mantra Banner, making his evolutionary aptitude very good.


    Back in the room, Luo Bo had already sat up, but he was staring nkly at the corner of the wall.


    Mi Xiaojing walked over and sat on the edge of the kang.


    "Little guy, still hurting?"


    "No, thank you, brother!"


    Luo Bo tried to move the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but he had never smiled before, so the smile was very stiff.


    Mi Xiaojing patted his head.


    "From now on, follow me. My name is Mi Xiaojing."


    "Xiao Mi Brother."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know why, but when he saw Luo Bo, he felt like he was looking at his own shadow, a lonely person. Even though Luo Bo still had a family and rtives, he was not as good as himself, and he was even more lonely.


    "I have an old patched cloth here. Wear it for now."


    He took out the patched cloth he was going to rece and gave it to Luo Bo to wear.


    Compared to Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo''s figure was too weak, looking like a five or six-year-old child. In fact, Luo Bo was almost ten years old. When he put on the patched cloth, the hem of the cloth fell to the ground.


    "I''ll fix it when we get back. It''s a bit too big."


    Luo Bo nodded hard and said, "Okay."


    When Mi Xiaojing went out, Luo Bo sat quietly on the kang. He had never felt so peaceful before, as if he really had a brother who loved him.


    The rent collection wasing to an end, and Mi Xiaojing followed Master Zeng Li to arrange the food for the trip back to the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Eightrge carts were basically full. As a rent collector, Mi Xiaojing also received some offerings for himself.


    A small bag of white rice, about twenty pounds, a bag of millet, two strings of red dried peppers, two strings of garlic, and a few pounds of soybeans, mung beans, and red beans, which were all in small quantities.


    Since the caravan didn''te, Mi Xiaojing directly exchanged his mountain goods for salt, coarse cloth, needles and thread, two jars of vegetable oil made by the vige chief''s wife, and two pairs of cloth shoes made by the vige chief''s aunt. Mountain goods were not valuable here, and the things that could be exchanged were extremely limited, but even so, Mi Xiaojing was satisfied.Vegetable oil is not just for eating, but for the oilmp at night. Without oil, there would be no light at night. This little bit of oil is Mi Xiaojing''s treasure.


    The master of Western Expansion Sect is very poor, extremely poor. Even Mi Xiaojing, who has already reached the final stage of the Yuanjie period, and is a core member of the sect, is also extremely poor. It can be said that theyck food and clothing, which ispletely different from the cultivators in the Cultivation World.

 Chapter 11: Crisis dormant

    <h4>Chapter 11: Crisis dormant</h4>


    In this world, Evolutionary Immortality is closer to the lower-level mortals, while Cultivators are high above them. The two havepletely different lifestyles.


    If Mi Xiaojing were a Cultivator and had achieved the perfect realm of Qi refining, he might not be a wealthy man, but at least he wouldn''tck food and clothing, nor would he worry about having one more child to feed. Mi Xiaojing had never seen copper coins or silver, and he didn''t even have the concept of money in his mind.


    He exchanged a bunch of things with the vige chief using mountain goods, which he put in a bamboo basket and loaded onto the ox cart. The entire cart was piled up like a small mountain and secured with hemp rope, ready to be transported back to the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing climbed onto the high ox cart with Luo Bo and bid farewell to Master Zeng Li and the vige chief.


    The cart traveled westward along the stream, and Mi Xiaojing held Luo Bo in his arms.


    "Little radish, we''re going back to the Western Evolutionary Sect. Follow your big brother from now on."


    Luo Bo tugged at the corners of his mouth. He actually wanted to give Mi Xiaojing a smile, but he failed.


    "Mm."


    "Maybe we won''t eat well or dress well in the future, but I promise... I will never hit you."


    Luo Bo nodded hard and said, "Mm."


    The cart shook and bumped along the way, and although the speed was slow, Luo Bo had never felt so peaceful and calm before, and his resentment dissipated somewhat.


    Master Zeng Li had been paying attention to the two all along, and he valued Mi Xiaojing even more, as the child had excellent Evolutionary potential.


    A group of masters, workers, and hired hands chatted andughed with great enthusiasm. Although they didn''t encounter any merchant caravans this time, everyone still had a harvest in mind.


    These workers and their families were all from Fenglin Vige, so returning to the vige was like going home.


    After more than an hour, they arrived at the gate of the Western Evolutionary Sect, where many people came to help transport the food.


    Mi Xiaojing also greeted two workers and moved his tworge bamboo baskets into his room.


    He opened the door and moved the two baskets into the room. These two baskets of food and daily necessities were his basic supplies for the winter. Although the Western Evolutionary Sect had arge kitchen and there was no need to worry about meals, practitioners were always prone to hunger, and these foods were needed to supplement their diets.


    Especially since Master Zeng Li had asked him to take care of Luo Bo, this put a lot of pressure on him. He couldn''t let Luo Bo starve or freeze to death, and he had to take care of these things himself, as the Western Evolutionary Sect wouldn''t help.


    Although the pressure was immense, Mi Xiaojing faced it calmly and prepared himself. He believed there would be no problem.


    However, autumn would soon pass, and during this time, he had to seize the opportunity to go up the mountain. Even if he couldn''t get food, many of the nts on the mountain were edible. Otherwise, once it snowed, it would be difficult to find useful food.


    The most troublesome thing was that the Western Evolutionary Sect practiced asceticism and didn''t eat meat, but some Evolutionary Immortals still ate meat. Mi Xiaojing had never eaten meat since he began practicing Evolutionary Immortality, and eating meat was against the precepts and rules of the Western Evolutionary Sect.Looking at Luo Bo, who was so thin and weak, Mi Xiaojing knew that if this child continued to be a vegetarian, he would probably remain small and skinny. But he had no choice, he never killed, nor did he cook any meat dishes. He sighed inwardly and slowly sorted the things in the bamboo basket.


    Rice and millet were put into a pottery jar. Food was the most important thing. After hiding the food, Mi Xiaojing stood up and said, "Little radish head, you y on the kang, I''ll go find something to eat."


    It was already dusk, and the evening ss of the Western Expansion Sect had begun.


    Mi Xiaojing was used to skipping ss. He walked out of the room and headed towards the big kitchen.


    The kitchen was steaming hot, and Zhang Ke was busy directing a group ofborers, hired workers, and a few children. Mi Xiaojing walked in.


    "Junior brother, give me more steamed buns and porridge."


    Zhang Ke was busymanding when he heard Mi Xiaojing''s words and turned around to see him.


    "Little junior brother, are you hungry? Wait a moment, I''ll send someone to bring it to you!"


    "For two people, there''s another child in my room."


    "I know, I know, for two people!"


    Zhang Ke was too busy to greet Mi Xiaojing, and it was almost time for dinner. He didn''t have time to chat.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that this guy was too busy, so he didn''t say much and turned to leave the kitchen.


    ***********


    A thousand miles away from the Western Expansion Sect, an old man sat cross-legged on the top of a snow mountain.


    He had a dark green silk face with a green floral pattern, a stern face, a few inches of gray-white beard, and two white eyebrows that curled upwards, giving the old man a fierce look. He also had a Daoist topknot on his head, with a star-studded hairpin inserted horizontally.


    A jade belt was wrapped around his waist, with some misceneous items hanging on it. Others might not know that this old man was a famous rogue cultivator in the Cultivation World, a super powerhouse in thebined period named Wang Weijun. At this moment, he sat on the top of the snow mountain, facing east, his eyes fixed on the continuous snow peaks in the distance.


    Then, a red line and a ck line appeared in the sky, seemingly flying away, but suddenly turned towards Wang Weijun.


    A red line and a ck line, with a fierce momentum. With Wang Weijun''s knowledge, he immediately knew that the personing was up to no good. Having been in the Cultivation World for a long time, he could feel the good and evil intentions of others.


    With a loud bang, the Wind Thunder Sword was unsheathed!


    There was no attack, but the Wind Thunder Sword surrounded him, as if countless lightning bolts were swirling around him. For a moment, Wang Weijun''s momentum soared, and he began to press on the two people flying towards him.


    However, Wang Weijun''s face soon changed. The other side''s speed did not decrease at all, and even elerated. Especially, his own pressure was useless against the two flying people. He realized that the other side''s strength was not inferior to his own, and he became highly vignt.


    Suddenly, a red line stopped, and a very small figure appeared about seven hundred meters away from Wang Weijun, hovering in the air.And another ck line, elerated around the top of the snow mountain, passed through the other end, directly behind Wang Weijun, which means that two super masters from two different cultivation worlds have surrounded Wang Weijun.


    Wang Weijun''s heart trembled slightly, and he said lightly, "Who is it, Taoist friend?" His voice was not loud, but it was clear.


    A cold sneer.


    Wang Weijun suddenly felt horrified, and he moved away in an instant.


    The top of the snow mountain exploded instantly with just one sword.


    Wang Weijun was extremely shocked. This sword was really silent. If it weren''t for his intuition, this attack would havended on him.


    With a long roar, Wang Weijun''s flying sword suddenly turned into a thunderstorm, exploding with countless thunder and silver radiance, shooting out!


    There was another lightughter, and the voice was clearly a woman''s.


    Wang Weijun''s scalp tingled.


    "Who are you?"

 Chapter 12: The only road

    <h4>Chapter 12: The only road</h4>


    The true element is running! In an instant, the power of the Wind Thunder Sword was maximized, and the attack of the Wind Thunder Sword had reached a distance of seven hundred meters in an instant.


    The entire sky dimmed with this sword strike. Rolling clouds appeared in the sky almost instantly, apanied by the Wind Thunder Sword, as if lightning struck down from the sky and shed towards the person suspended in the air.


    Like a fireworks disy, a huge silver light burst open, and silver snakes danced as the light shone everywhere.


    Wang Weijun felt as if he had been hit by an invisible giant hammer, groaning as his whole body was thrown far away...


    Just one strike made him realize that the opponent was actually a master of the Mahayana stage, and the opponent''s counterattack was obviously holding back. But even so, Wang Weijun couldn''t handle it, because his Wind Thunder Sword, which was his life weapon, was broken!


    Blood spurted out of his mouth, his primordial spirit was injured, and his Nascent Soul was withered. Wang Weijun was scared out of his wits. He didn''t understand when he had offended the top existence of the Cultivation World.


    "Stop! Senior, let''s talk!"


    Another lightugh came clearly into his ears. Wang Weijun didn''t even have time to collect the fragments of the Wind Thunder Sword, and instantly moved away. Just as he revealed his figure, a ck sword shadow had already struck his body.


    "Boom!"


    The jade talisman hanging from Wang Weijun''s waist suddenly exploded, forming a spherical golden light shield. Instantly, the ck sword shadow struck it, catching him off guard.


    Wang Weijun screamed in fear, watching the jade talisman turn into powder at his waist. Then, the small non-golden, non-wooden que on his wrist also vibrated, and instantly, seven extremely delicate shields appeared in front of him.


    The cracking sound rang out, and the ck sword shadow instantly broke six shields. The small que on Wang Weijun''s wrist also appeared with countless cracks. In this short moment, he finally recovered and moved away again.


    At this moment, Wang Weijun understood that one was a master of the Mahayana stage, and the other was a master of thebined stage, just like himself. The two attacked together, and what was even more deceitful was that both of them were much stronger than him.


    Wang Weijun was filled with fear and confusion. He really couldn''t remember when he had offended such terrifying masters.


    The Cultivation World has always been full of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and Wang Weijun had done his fair share of it. But no matter what he did, there had to be a reason, right? He couldn''t just see someone weaker than himself and go up to bully them, beat them up, and get away with it.


    The Cultivation World didn''tck lunatics, but they weren''t everywhere. You have to know that people who can cultivate to the Mahayana stage and thebined stage rarely have lost their minds. But what was this? It was unbelievable. Why were there such masters attacking him?


    Wang Weijun was both shocked and scared, but his figure moved again without hesitation!


    Just as he appeared in another ce, another sword strike came at him. He almost cried. Why did the opponent always know where he would appear in advance? It was too much, he couldn''t y like this!At this moment, the Wind and Thunder Sword had been destroyed by the woman''s attack. Wang Weijun had lost his most handy weapon. If he had known that the opponent was a high-level expert in the Mahayana realm, he would not have used the Wind and Thunder Sword to attack from afar. That was not an attack, that was courting death.


    Fortunately, after destroying Wang Weijun''s Wind and Thunder Sword, the opponent did not attack again and just hung in the air watching the show. However, the other man, who was extremely muscr, did not let him go. One sword after another, his attacks were slow and steady, but each attack hit Wang Weijun''s weak points, leaving him with no choice but to resist.


    All kinds of defensive or offensive treasures in his hands, including the Star-Dipping Hairpin inserted in his hair, were used one by one and destroyed one by one by his opponent. Wang Weijun''s heart was bleeding. These were treasures he had umted for a long time. The opponent was very patient, as if he was deliberately destroying all of his treasures.


    Wang Weijun was also stunned. He didn''t want to achieve anything, he just wanted to avoid mistakes. The key was not to be killed in one blow.


    The opponent seemed to have no intention of killing him. Otherwise, if the two of them attacked together, Wang Weijun would have had no chance. By the time Wang Weijun reacted, all of his powerful treasures had been exhausted. It was only then that Wang Weijun realized that he had only one thought in his mind: to escape. He couldn''t continue fighting.


    After several consecutive teleportations, he finally lost sight of the two of them. Wang Weijun flew forward along the snow-capped mountains. Without the Wind and Thunder Sword, his flying speed was much slower. He cursed all the way as he fled. He was almost heartbroken. Were these two guys just here to have fun with him?


    Just then, a silver light suddenly flew out of the snow-capped mountains and hit Wang Weijun''s body. He felt a chill and fell from the sky. He no longer had any treasures to protect himself.


    "Boom!"


    Wang Weijun plunged headlong into the snowdrift. His whole body was deeply buried in the snow, and even his feet couldn''t be seen. He waspletely covered by the snowdrift.


    "Wu..."


    Wang Weijun cried out in frustration from the snowdrift, then was forced to stiffen his whole body by a cold air. He struggled hard, crawled out of the snowdrift, and then took out a pile of bottles and jars from his Immortal Pouch, started to eat pills frantically, and suppressed the cold air.


    The surroundings were silent, covered in thick snow. Wang Weijun was still confused. He had never suffered such a loss in his life. He was inexplicably beaten like a stray dog. It was too unfair.


    Wang Weijun tore open his cor and saw a ck spot on his shoulder. What was injected into his body?


    Soon Wang Weijun knew what it was and couldn''t help but scream.


    ****Frozen Heart Needle!


    The worst part was that he had no treasures now. All the treasures, even spiritual treasures, that he could use had been exhausted. Wang Weijun had to rely solely on his cultivation level to suppress the ****Frozen Heart Needle, which was a one-time needle-shaped treasure refined from a condensed extreme cold Gang Qi by a high-level expert.With Wang Weijun''s knowledge, he naturally understood that this was not something that ordinary cultivators could refine, but a spiritual treasure refined by advanced cultivators in the Mahayana period. It was much more advanced than a magic weapon. Even if he fully operated his true essence, he could only barely suppress it. As for driving it out, that was out of the question.


    Because he was afraid of being chased by his opponent, after suppressing his injuries slightly, Wang Weijun began to run away. He understood that once the other party wanted to catch up with him, with the means of a cultivator, it should not be a very difficult thing.


    Using all kinds of means, Wang Weijun truly racked his brains to cover up his tracks. He almost exhausted all the remaining magic weapons and various spirit stones on his body. He finally felt that he had gotten rid of those two terrible opponents.


    "I will take revenge!" Wang Weijun sat in a cave, gritting his teeth and swearing.

 Chapter 13: Martial Arts Explanation

    <h4>Chapter 13: Martial Arts Exnation</h4>


    Just as he swore to take revenge, his cultivation level plummeted, from the early stage of Nascent Soul realm to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul realm, not even the perfect stage.


    Wang Weijun''s face was miserable. He was still using all his true essence to desperately suppress the **** Cold Heart Needle. Once it attacked his Nascent Soul, he would be doomed.


    As time passed, Wang Weijun''s cultivation level continued to decline rapidly. In just a few days, he had fallen from the Nascent Soul realm to the Yuan Ying realm. Moreover, he could no longer resist the erosion of the **** Cold Heart Needle, and his Yuan Ying began to wither.


    At the end of his rope, Wang Weijun sighed. He knew that he had only one way out, and all other paths were dead ends.


    He really didn''t want to take that path, but not taking it would mean death. He gritted his teeth in hatred. That path was too difficult! He had to use the Martial Arts Exnation to get rid of the **** Cold Heart Needle, which meant he had to abandon his own body.


    Only cultivators above the Yuan Ying realm could use the Martial Arts Exnation. Those with insufficient strength could not use it. However, for any cultivator, using the Martial Arts Exnation was an extremely difficult and even irreversible path.


    Wang Weijun could not find a way out and could only choose to use the Martial Arts Exnation. There was still a glimmer of hope. If he was lucky enough to find a good body with excellent aptitude for cultivation, he could continue to cultivate after taking over it.


    If he was unlucky and took over the body of an ordinary person with no aptitude for cultivation, he would be trapped for the rest of his life. Wang Weijun was very clear about this.


    If he didn''t take over a new body, he could be a Loose Immortal, but to do so, he needed good luck, friends to help him, and Earth Treasures. The probability of sess was too small, and he didn''t even dare to consider it.


    One way was to be reincarnated, but it was even more dangerous. If no one guided him, he would bepletely annihted if he failed to awaken. It was only slightly better than dying immediately. He didn''t want to take that risk.


    Finally, there was a non-human path, but Wang Weijun didn''t even consider it. That was to take over the body of a wild beast with ancient bloodline and be a beast instead of a human. That path was even more dangerous.


    Wang Weijun smiled miserably. He didn''t even have time to think. Once the **** Cold Heart Needle invaded his Nascent Soul, he would not be able to use the Martial Arts Exnation. He had to act decisively.


    Usually, one needed help to use the Martial Arts Exnation, but there were also those who forced it. Wang Weijun had no one to help him. He had always been a lone wolf in the Cultivation World, and he had enemies everywhere, so using the Martial Arts Exnation was his only option. Although it was not good for his Nascent Soul, he had no choice.


    ...


    Sitting cross-legged on the ground until nightfall, Wang Weijun finally couldn''t hold on anymore. He pped his own Heavenly Spirit cover with one hand, and in an instant, a hole exploded on it, and his Nascent Soul flew out.


    As soon as his Nascent Soul flew out, Wang Weijun''s whole body turned into an ice sculpture.


    Without the suppression of his Nascent Soul, the **** Cold Heart Needle erupted, and his body was frozen forever.


    Looking back at his Shedding, Wang Weijun cast an Incantation, and in an instant, his Nascent Soul was covered with a faint blue light. After all, he was once a powerful expert in the Harmonious Spirit realm. Although his Nascent Soul was weak now, he was still much stronger than the Yuan Ying realm cultivators. Although his Nascent Soul was withered, there was no trace of dissipation.With a wave of his hand, Wang Weijun''s Immortal Pouch hanging from his waist flew into his hand. He was left with only one storage treasure, as the magic weapons and spiritual treasures inside were already depleted. He pressed the Immortal Pouch onto his Yuan Ying, and it was absorbed into his body.


    Reluctantly, he took a final nce at his Shedding and Yuan Ying turned into a blue light, flying away in an instant.


    After about half an hour, the couple, Luo Mei and Mi Youran, quietly appeared next to the Shedding.


    One was as beautiful as a flower, and the other as strong as a lion.


    "Husband, he really understands martial arts!"


    "Wife, didn''t you predict this already? This person is quite impressive. He was able to endure for so long even after being hit by my **** Cold Needle."


    The two were a famous couple in the Cultivation World, Luo Mei and Mi Youran.


    Luo Mei smiled: "Husband, we still need to force him to go over. If something unexpected happens after a long time, it will be troublesome."


    "No, we just need to ambush him in a certain ce. His Yuan Ying is still too strong now, so it won''t work. Hmm, it''s difficult for us to make a move, he''s already too weak. If we make a move, he''ll be finished."


    "It''s okay, I have another way. Although it''s difficult, I''m confident."


    Mi Youran pondered for a moment and said, "Are we not overestimating our abilities?"


    "No! This is not overestimating our abilities!"


    "Okay, let''s go!"


    The couple turned into a long rainbow and flew away into the sky.


    **************


    Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying flew quickly. He had to leave the snowy mountain area as there were no ordinary people there. Furthermore, his Yuan Ying was in a very dangerous state. Cultivators always treated other people''s Yuan Ying as treasures, whether it was for refining tools or alchemy. Especially for his Yuan Ying, which was in thebined period, even though it had fallen to the Yuan Ying period during the Shedding, its quality was still extremely rare.


    As he flew, his Yuan Ying became weaker due to his turbulent thoughts.


    This attack had dealt him a huge blow. He was forced to Shed for no reason, and until now, he still didn''t know who had made the move. All he knew was that it was a man and a woman, one in thebined period, and he suspected that they were experts in theter stage of thebined period, making it even more hopeless was that the woman was a super expert in the Great Aplishment period.


    Even if it was just one person, Wang Weijun couldn''t handle it, let alone two super experts. As he fled, he had no strength to fight back. He only had one Yuan Ying left, and even if a cultivator in the Yuan Ying period came, he still wouldn''t be able to win. He was so scared that he frantically fled.


    "Crack!"


    It was like a fly being swatted. Although he didn''t fall to the ground, this blow directly sent his Yuan Ying flying like a ball. No matter how he tried to escape, he was always hit. What was even more despairing was that he still didn''t know where his opponent was.


    (The Cultivation World''s level division: Qi Refining period, Foundation Establishment period, Core Formation period, Yuan Ying period, Nascent Soul period, Combined period, and Great Aplishment period. The Evolutionary Immortality level will be gradually revealed in this book.)

 Chapter 14: Encountering danger on the mountain path

    <h4>Chapter 14: Encountering danger on the mountain path</h4>


    Every time he was hit, Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul would suffer great damage. After a few times, his Nascent Soul was on the verge of dissipating.


    Terrified to the extreme, Wang Weijun couldn''t even say a word of mercy. The battles between cultivators were extremely cruel. Sometimes, death was not the worst thing. The most terrifying thing was being caught. At that time, one would truly wish for death.


    Wang Weijun had done this kind of thing many times before, so he knew that begging for mercy was useless. He could only escape, desperately escape. Even if his Nascent Soul dissipated, he couldn''t let the other party catch him. He was very clear about this.


    Stumbling and fleeing, he was hit by some kind of magical treasure repeatedly along the way. Wang Weijun flew into a mountainous area, where he was impressed by the red leaves that covered the mountains like fire. He even saw a group of buildings at the foot of the mountain but didn''t know which sect it belonged to.


    Falling onto a mountain, Wang Weijun had lost all hope of escape because his Nascent Soul was about to be destroyed. Strangely, the attacks suddenly disappeared. His Nascent Soulnded on a big tree, and he saw a small tree hole, so he immediately hid inside.


    If his opponent appeared, Wang Weijun had made up his mind to self-destruct his Nascent Soul. Even if he died, he wouldn''t let the other party catch him.


    In the morning, Mi Xiaojing got up from the kang, having spent the night reciting mantras. He looked at Luo Bo curled up on the side and covered him with the kicked-off nket before getting off the kang quietly.


    He went outside to practice his punches in the yard, performing the Evolutionary Sect''s signature move three times with his fists. Then he washed up and went up to the rooftop to practice breathing exercises, waiting for the sun to rise.


    Mi Xiaojing was already very proficient in this routine. When the sun rose, he absorbed the Qianyang Purple Qi bit by bit and continued breathing until the sun fully rose beforeing down from the rooftop.


    Luo Bo pushed open the door, holding a broom to clean the yard. Although he was young, he had been very diligent during his stay with Mi Xiaojing. He didn''t speak much and was indifferent to others, but Mi Xiaojing was the only one he could get close to.


    After breakfast, Mi Xiaojing carried a bamboo basket on his back and patted Luo Bo''s big head gently. "Little radish, I''m going up the mountain. Go to the kitchen at noon, and your big brother Zhang Ke will prepare food for you."


    Luo Bo obediently answered. These few days were the mostfortable days he had ever had. There was no beating or scolding, and even if he couldn''t eat his fill every day, he would never go hungry. What made him feel mostfortable was that Mi Xiaojing spoke very gently. The warmth in his words made him obsessed. Was this the taste of home?


    So Luo Bo did his best to help with the chores. Deep down, he had a strong sense of insecurity, afraid of losing this warmth and Mi Xiaojing''s care. This brother he identally gained, this affection he identally gained, made him cherish it even more.


    Mi Xiaojing carried the basket and a hoe, leaving the Western Expansion Sect. This time, he nned to go to the mountain on the opposite side of the Western Expansion Sect, the Jingshan Mountain.


    In the past, Mi Xiaojing''s favorite ce to go was the West Mountain behind the maple forest, behind the Western Expansion Sect. He rarely went to Jingshan Mountain because it was more dangerous, while the West Mountain was rtively gentle.Moreover, there are more wild beasts on Jing Mountain, but there is an advantage here, that is, there are many mountain goods. As long as you don''t go deep into it, even if you collect mountain goods at the foot of Jing Mountain or halfway up the mountain, they are much better than those on Xishan.


    As winter approached, Mi Xiaojing took in another child. This was a new experience for him, a responsibility and a new feeling. It wasn''t easy for a teenage cultivator to support a child.


    After leaving the corner gate, walking along the wall of the Western Evolutionary Sect, and reaching the mountain gate, crossing the mountain gate, you wille to the Jingxi River. The Jingxi River is not wide, and the water is shallow. A row of stone piers extends to the other side.


    After passing this row of stone piers, you step onto the other side, and the mountain on the opposite side is Jing Mountain.


    Mi Xiaojing was familiar with this road. There is a small vegetable garden by the Jingxi River, which is the Western Evolutionary Sect''s self-sufficientnd for growing vegetables. It is surrounded by fences to prevent animals from the mountain from eating them.


    Several long-term workers of the Western Evolutionary Sect were busy in the vegetable garden. When they saw Mi Xiaojing, they all sped their hands together in salute. Mi Xiaojing also raised his palm and returned the salute. They were all familiar people, and there was no need for words. Mi Xiaojing had already crossed the vegetable garden with a basket on his back and headed towards Jing Mountain.


    *************


    After two days of suffering, Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul was about to dissipate. He only saw a woodcutter pass by, a person with no cultivation talent, and an old man. No one else came, and his Nascent Soul was about to disappear.


    At this moment, Wang Weijun saw a young man walking from afar.


    Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul greedily looked at the young man walking on the mountain road. With his eyes as a former Core Formation cultivator, how could he not see that this was a precious cultivator with excellent talent? He was so excited that he trembled. Finally, the heavens did not abandon him. There was actually such a talented child.


    This young man was wearing a patched white cloth, tied with hemp rope at his waist, tied with leg wraps, wearing grass shoes, and his hair draped over his shoulders. He was obviously an Evolutionary Immortality junior master, and Wang Weijun also knew that this child''s cultivation level was very good. Most cultivators couldn''tpare to a child of this age with such cultivation level.


    When the young man walked closer, Wang Weijun became even more satisfied. This child had sharp eyebrows and bright starry eyes. He was extremely handsome and sunny, giving people a good impression.


    What a good-looking skin! What a good-looking skin!


    Wang Weijun was really overjoyed. A young man with such talent was rare even in the cultivation world. Once he was discovered by major sects, they would do anything to bring him into their sects. He unexpectedly appeared on this remote mountain road.


    I must take this skin!


    As for the young man''s soul being destroyed after taking over his body, it was not within Wang Weijun''s consideration. Taking over a body meant driving out the other person''s soul and recing it with his own Nascent Soul. In other words, once he took over, this young man was doomed to die.As for this young man being a Rogue Cultivator, Wang Weijun ignored him. The conflict between True Qi and Evolutionary Immortality could be resolved, and whether it was a Rogue Cultivator or a Cultivator, they were all practitioners, and their essence was the same. It was possible for a Rogue Cultivator to be a Cultivator through some special methods, which could be easily solved by Wang Weijun''s means. Therefore, Wang Weijun had already decided to forcefully possess him, and he had no guilt, staring tightly at Mi Xiaojing who was approaching.


    Forcibly possessing him was Wang Weijun''s only choice.


    Being able to cultivate to the level of Fusion, and also being a Rogue Cultivator, the hardships were self-evident. Wang Weijun was also considered a super bastard in the Cultivation World, a high-level Cultivator who needed countless resources. It was difficult to collect these resources, so cheating, robbing, and piging were inevitable.

 Chapter 15: The Trap of Body Snatching

    <h4>Chapter 15: The Trap of Body Snatching</h4>


    Taking over a young man, Wang Weijun had no psychological burden. To him, taking over was just taking over. There was no guilt or regret. For cultivators, fighting against heaven, earth, and people was normal and necessary.


    As the young man walked along the mountain path, getting closer and closer, Wang Weijun''s Nascent Souly in wait on a tree branch like a leopard preparing to hunt its prey, waiting for the right moment to pounce.


    The young man was Mi Xiaojing, a junior evolutionary immortal of the Western Evolutionary Sect. He didn''t notice anything unusual and walked slowly along the mountain path until he came to a huge locust tree, where he suddenly felt strange.


    Pausing in confusion, Mi Xiaojing looked around but found nothing. It was silent all around.


    After looking for a while, he shook his head in confusion and continued walking forward. When he turned his back to the tree, Wang Weijun knew his chance hade. He pounced from behind, and in an instant, Mi Xiaojing''s body went limp. However, instead of falling down, he slowly crossed his legs and sat down, supported by the bamboo basket behind him.


    This was a habitual sitting position, which meant that Mi Xiaojing was cultivating. Although he didn''t recite any mantras, the heart tower in his body emitted a faint light. It was at this moment that Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul forcibly entered Mi Xiaojing''s body.


    Due to the great power of the Nascent Soul, Mi Xiaojing instantly lost consciousness.


    Erasing and depriving the opponent''s soul was an inevitable process of taking over. Just as Wang Weijun thought he had seeded and was overjoyed, the heart tower emitted a brilliant light. At the bottom of the heart tower, a golden mantra banner suddenly rose, and countless mantra characters surged forth, forming golden light cords that quickly danced inside Mi Xiaojing''s body like jellyfish tentacles.


    Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul that had entered Mi Xiaojing''s body waspletely tragic.


    The only way for the Nascent Soul to erase Mi Xiaojing''s soul was to quickly expand and upy the body. However, Wang Weijun had just entered Mi Xiaojing''s body when countless golden mantra characters suddenly spread out and covered every inch of it.


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing''s whole body was covered in golden light, like a huge glowing body. Any exposed skin was shining with a dazzling golden color.


    Wang Weijun was shocked. Before he could take any action, countless mantra characters stuck to his Nascent Soul,pressing it into a tiny point and quickly dragging it towards the heart tower.


    Mi Xiaojing was temporarily unconscious and did not see the golden light on his skin or the earth-shattering changes inside his body.


    The golden light cords formed by the mantra characters entwined the Nascent Soul, dragging it towards the heart tower.


    The sudden change scared Wang Weijun out of his wits. Then he saw a golden treasure of the Evolutionary Community, the Mantra Banner, which was a golden tower of mantras.


    In an instant, Wang Weijun recognized what it was and was terrified.


    "No! This is the Evolutionary Treasure! This is the Mantra Banner!"


    At a nce, he recognized this as the Evolutionary Community''s treasure, which was simr to the immortal treasures of the cultivation world and was also a legendary treasure.The Mantra Banner with ten thousand characters!


    Countless characters, countless Evolutionary Sect ssic characters,yered and dense, countless Evolutionary Community hidden mantras that cannot be counted, flicker and squirm on the Mantra Banner. One after another, the unique Evolutionary Community spirit scripts, like rotating wheels, fly out in a series, entwining the Yuan Ying.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t even cry.


    "Why am I so unlucky!"


    The Yuan Ying was directly dragged into the Mantra Banner.


    Poor Wang Weijun had no weapons, only a few incantations that could be used. However, when he cast them, he could only protect the Yuan Ying and had no other means of escape. If he still had abined Yuan Ying, he might have had a chance to escape by spending some means and sacrificing some treasures. But now there was no way. The Yuan Ying was about to dissipate, and he couldn''t escape.


    Countless Evolutionary Community spirit scripts suppressed him. In an instant, the Yuan Ying disappeared without a sound.


    However, the Mantra Banner was not a killing weapon. The treasure of Evolutionary Sect had no killing intent, and the Yuan Ying was only trapped without much danger. Moreover, because of the illumination of the spirit scripts, Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying would not dissipate, which was the only advantage.


    It was almost impossible to seize someone''s body now. With the protection of the treasure of Evolutionary Sect, the Yuan Ying had no hope of seizing a body. Unless Mi Xiaojing released it voluntarily, there might still be a chance for Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying. Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing did not know that someone was trying to seize a body, and of course, he could notmand the Mantra Banner.


    Evolutionary Community did not mind killing, but because of the different schools of thought, their ideas were not the same. The Mantra Banner was not a killing tool, but a legacy, wisdom, and nurturing vitality.


    It was precisely thest point, nurturing vitality, that saved Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying. If it were another treasure of Evolutionary Sect, it might have been suppressed and killed when it pounced on Mi Xiaojing''s body.


    The more he struggled, the tougher the restraint. Wang Weijun was not stupid. He soon realized that he should stop struggling, as if he had already died, waiting quietly. He began to desperately recall the legend of the Mantra Banner, trying to find its weakness.


    Mi Xiaojing was unconscious for a very short time, not more than the time it took for an incense stick to burn. He had no reaction at all because things happened too quickly. He didn''t even know why he was sitting on the ground.


    Sitting on the ground, he was dazed for about a quarter of an hour. Mi Xiaojing touched his body and found that nothing was missing, and he was not injured. He didn''t find any beasts or enemies either, which surprised him.


    "Why am I sitting on the ground? It''s strange!"


    His head was a little dizzy. Mi Xiaojing muttered to himself, "Is it because I''m hungry? No, I had breakfast before I left... strange..."


    Slowly standing up, Mi Xiaojing realized that his legs were weak, and he was sweating profusely. Looking at the mountain path, he decided to find some wild vegetables and fruits nearby and go back early. Today was really strange.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that he had just circled around the gates of hell, nor did he know that there was a rare treasure of Evolutionary Sect in his body that saved his life. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he dared not continue climbing the mountain but walked towards the forest by the roadside.He couldn''te here for nothing, so Mi Xiaojing chose to collect in the forest on the side of the road instead of continuing up the mountain. He felt weak all over and mentally exhausted. Even if the Mantra Banner reacted quickly, his soul still suffered a strong shock from being forcibly hit by a Yuan Ying. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have passed out all of a sudden.


    .

 Chapter 16: Man proposes, God disposes

    <h4>Chapter 16: Man proposes, God disposes</h4>


    About a hundred miles away from Jing Mountain, Luo Mei and Mi Youran were suspended in mid-air.


    Luo Mei looked nervous.


    "Husband, did it work?"


    Mi Youran calcted silently for a moment and a hint of joy appeared on his face.


    "It worked."


    Luo Mei stared into the distance, her eyes full of longing, her voice choked up.


    "It''s been eleven years, I haven''t even seen him once, I don''t know how my baby is doing..."


    Hearing his wife''s changed voice, Mi Youran was afraid she would lose control, so he quickly went forward and hugged her gently.


    "Don''t worry, everything is under control."


    Luo Mei was worried.


    "With Wang Weijun''s character, he will definitely take over someone''s body, and he will definitely be trapped by the Mantra Banner with ten thousand words. This way, the Mantra Banner can y its role. Otherwise, such a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect won''t be able to do much."


    "It does have an effect, but it won''t be too great. Now that we''ve added a Yuanying inside, the Mantra Banner has great power and can truly y its role. This way, our baby can benefit."


    "As long as our baby grows up, he won''t be afraid."


    For the sake of their baby son, this famous couple in the Cultivation World joined forces and dug a super big pit, forcing abined stage master to fall into it. They looked at each other and smiled, holding hands and quietly leaving.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to his meditation room in the morning. He put down his backpack tiredly and fell asleep on the bed. He hadn''t slept like this for a long time.


    Luo Bo looked a little frightened. He had been here for a few days and had never seen Mi Xiaojing so exhausted. He could only sit on the side and help drive away the flying flies.


    In his dream, Mi Xiaojing saw Wang Weijun''s Yuanying.


    Mi Xiaojing dreamed of an old man, an old man in a green robe, with a righteous appearance. Wang Weijun''s Yuanying appeared, and he looked just like he did before, with considerable temptation.


    Mi Xiaojing was a polite child, a child with the Evolutionary nature, and apassionate child. So even when he saw Wang Weijun in his dream, he was very polite.


    "Hello, Grandpa."


    Wang Weijun recognized Mi Xiaojing at a nce, and he was really gnashing his teeth in his heart. He didn''t me himself for trying to seize someone else''s body, but he was angry that there was a heaven-defying treasure like the Mantra Banner in his body, which imprisoned him.


    However, Wang Weijun did not erupt. He knew very well that he absolutely could not erupt. Once Mi Xiaojing disliked him, nothing he said would be of any use.


    Mi Xiaojing was curious about the ce.


    "Where is this? It''s so strange!"


    Wang Weijun was extremely angry in his heart. This was his motherf*cking trap in the Mantra Banner! But he put on a smile on his face, although extremely stiff, andughed even more ugly than crying.


    "This is the Evolutionary Community!"


    First, he had to fool him before saying anything else.Sure enough, Mi Xiaojing recited the mantra very devoutly.


    "May the Evolutionary Ancestors bless us!"


    Wang Weijun was extremely angry. What kind of blessing was that? The Evolutionary Immortals should be killed! Kill! Kill!


    "Yes, yes, this is the Evolutionary Community, and I am the Evolutionary Ancestor!"


    Mi Xiaojing carefully looked him over and shook his head firmly.


    "No, you are not the Evolutionary Ancestor. Grandpa, the Evolutionary Ancestor doesn''t have as much hostility as you do."


    Wang Weijun was shocked. Could he tell?


    "I, as the Evolutionary Ancestor, specialize in killing. Of course, I have hostility. Little guy, don''t talk nonsense if you don''t understand!"


    Although Mi Xiaojing was young, after ten years of being exposed to the knowledge of the Evolutionary Community, he was not easily fooled. He carefully looked at Wang Weijun again.


    Wang Weijun was so ufortable being stared at that his whole body was covered in goosebumps. He forced a smile and tried to leave a good impression on Mi Xiaojing.


    "Why, don''t you believe me?"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head firmly.


    "I don''t believe you!"


    Wang Weijun was extremely frustrated.


    "Why don''t you believe me?"


    "You don''t have the Evolutionary Heart and Evolutionary Nature!"


    As a cultivator, Wang Weijun didn''t have much of a concept of Evolutionary Immortality. Although the Evolutionary and Cultivation worlds had a long history, he always looked down on the Evolutionary family. To him, the Evolutionary family was just a bunch of hypocrites, especially after being trapped by the Mantra Banner this time, he hated them even more.


    "Hehe, what does a child like you know about Evolutionary Heart and Evolutionary Nature! Well, although I am not the Evolutionary Ancestor, I am a Dao Lord!"


    "What is a Dao Lord?"


    Mi Xiaojing really didn''t understand. In the Western Expansion Sect, he had only been exposed to everything in the Evolutionary Community, and no one had told him about the Cultivation World. Of course, he didn''t know what a Dao Lord was.


    Wang Weijun was a little surprised and a little puzzled. This wasmon knowledge!


    "Don''t you know what a cultivator is?"


    "What is a cultivator?"


    Wang Weijun was tongue-tied. A child with such good aptitude didn''t even know what cultivation was. His eyes wandered around. This was a good opportunity to fool the other party! Once Mi Xiaojing believed him, he believed that he had the ability to fool the little guy and make the Mantra Banner leave. Without the protection of the Mantra Banner, taking over his body would be an easy task.


    Mi Xiaojing instinctively sensed that something was wrong.


    "You have a wicked heart!"


    As soon as he said this, Mi Xiaojing woke up.


    Wang Weijun looked at Mi Xiaojing disappearing and couldn''t help but jump and roar in frustration.


    "Where is my heart wicked! This is ridiculous!"


    Because he was covered by the Mantra Banner, even if Wang Weijun roared, not a sound would be heard.


    Mi Xiaojing sat up and rubbed his head.


    "That dream was so strange! What is a cultivator... strange, strange!"


    A small hand pushed Mi Xiaojing."Xiao Mi, what''s wrong?"


    Luo Bo looked at Mi Xiaojing with concern.


    Mi Xiaojing was a carefree person. When he couldn''t understand something, he would temporarily let go and not get entangled in it, giving off a sense of going with the flow.


    "Little Radish, I''m fine, nothing''s wrong."


    Luo Bo looked at Mi Xiaojing with half-belief and half-doubt, but ultimately chose to trust him.


    Mi Xiaojing sat there in a daze, and Luo Bo ran out of the room and quickly came back with a wooden basin.


    "Xiao Mi, wash up."


    The cold well water sshed on his face, and Mi Xiaojing slowly regained consciousness. He rubbed his chin and stopped pursuing the matter, saying, "Little Radish, let''s go eat."


    Although Wang Weijun couldn''t see Mi Xiaojing or the outside world, he could hear the voices outside. So no matter what Mi Xiaojing said, he knew.


    But it was useless. He wanted to talk to Mi Xiaojing, but he couldn''t. Mainly because he had just been imprisoned by the Mantra Banner and hadn''t found a suitable way tomunicate. Given time, with Wang Weijun''s abilities, he could find a way to converse. But for now, he couldn''t.


    This made Wang Weijun extremely frustrated, as he couldn''t affect Mi Xiaojing for the time being. He was anxious for the night, as he could always meet Mi Xiaojing when he slept.

 Chapter 17: Crying Infant Spirit

    <h4>Chapter 17: Crying Infant Spirit</h4>


    Listening to Mi Xiaojing talking with others, eating, walking, sorting herbs, clearing wild vegetables and fruits, Wang Weijun felt like time was passing slowly. He prayed that the little guy would go to sleep soon so he could convince Mi Xiaojing to cultivate.


    Time passed slowly and finally it was night. Wang Weijun heard Mi Xiaojing telling someone to go to sleep and wondered why a young boy was taking care of a child.


    Finally, Wang Weijun waited for Mi Xiaojing to go to bed. But then he waspletely shocked. Mi Xiaojing wasn''t sleeping, he was reciting mantras! And once he started reciting them, the Mantra Banner began to operate, with countless Spirit Scripts flying around. Wang Weijun was overwhelmed and had to use his own cultivation to resist the attack of the Spirit Scripts.


    Mi Xiaojing recited mantras all night long without sleeping. Wang Weijun almost copsed from exhaustion. He knew that the power generated by the Mantra Banner affected the soul and the cultivation of the Yuan Ying, and each Spirit Script felt like a sharp knife piercing into his Yuan Ying.


    After a night of torture, when Mi Xiaojing stopped reciting mantras, Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying was almostpletely dissipated. He was trapped in the Mantra Banner and couldn''t figure out how to resist. If his Yuan Ying copsed, it would be the best nourishment for the Mantra Banner, fulfilling the goals of Luo Mei and Mi Youran.


    The worst part was that Wang Weijun couldn''t even self-destruct his Yuan Ying. He was trapped by the Spirit Scripts, unable to do anything.


    Listening to Mi Xiaojing getting off the bed, washing up, and climbing onto the roof, Wang Weijunmented in his heart, "I don''t want to die... I don''t want to die! I''ll die without leaving a trace... God, are you trying to kill me?"


    Then Wang Weijun heard a long inhtion and saw a purple light pouring down. It was the Qianyang Purple Qi that had been filtered by the Mantra Banner.


    There''s always a way out!


    Wang Weijun thought. His Yuan Ying immediately crossed his legs and floated in mid-air. He opened his mouth and sucked in the Qianyang Purple Qi.


    Just this one breath of Qianyang Purple Qi stabilized Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying, preventing it from copsing. This was something that even Mi Youran and Luo Mei hadn''t expected or calcted. They thought that once Wang Weijun entered the Mantra Banner, he would disappearpletely. But they never expected that Mi Xiaojing would absorb the Qianyang Purple Qi.


    Truly, man proposes, but God disposes!After inhaling three mouthfuls of Qianyang purple Qi, Wang Weijunpletely stabilized his crumbling Yuanying. When he wanted to take the fourth breath, Mi Xiaojing stopped practicing and came down from the roof.


    Wang Weijun howled in despair. He could slightly restore some of his Yuanying''s strength if he could take one more breath of Qianyang purple Qi, but he could only take three breaths, not even one more. These three breaths could only stabilize his Yuanying and not increase his cultivation level.


    He wished he could take one more breath!


    .


    Wang Weijun was going crazy. Nothing had gone smoothly for him since he was beaten by two inexplicable guys. Even if he found a temporary opportunity to not die, he had no hope of improving his cultivation level.


    Forced by circumstances, Wang Weijun had to practice in the Mantra Banner. In addition to digesting the Qianyang purple Qi he obtained, he also wanted to improve his Yuanying''s cultivation level.


    What Wang Weijun didn''t know was that his Yuanying''s cultivation benefited Mi Xiaojing greatly. When his Yuanying absorbed spiritual Qi, since it was in the Mantra Banner, the spiritual Qi first passed through Mi Xiaojing''s body. Once he practiced, the spiritual Qi washed his body.


    Moreover, when the spiritual Qi entered, the Spirit Script in the Mantra Banner was also absorbing it, which gave the banner power.


    After a whole day, Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find himself clear-headed, energetic, and his cultivation level was quietly improving. He waspletely puzzled by this.


    After a busy day, Mi Xiaojing immediately went to bed, thinking that yesterday''s recitation of the Mantra had made great progress, and he would work harder today.


    Wang Weijun noticed that Mi Xiaojing went to bed and couldn''t help but tremble. Here hees again!


    This kid doesn''t sleep, just recites the Mantra!


    Wang Weijun howled in despair, and then the recitation began, and his Yuanying began to resist.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing''s recitation speed became extremely fast. More recitations meant more Spirit Script characters and more frequent appearances of Spirit Script characters in the Mantra Banner, which had a great impact on the Yuanying.


    When Mi Xiaojing stopped reciting the Mantra, Wang Weijun was about to cry.


    His Yuanying was on the verge of copse again!


    He opened his little mouth and desperately took three breaths. He couldn''t take any more. It was not Mi Xiaojing''s fault. There was not much Qianyang purple Qi that could be absorbed during the short time of sunrise. It was already quite remarkable that Wang Weijun could absorb three breaths.


    What made Wang Weijun most speechless was that these three breaths of Qianyang purple Qi, plus a day of practice, could only restore and stabilize his Yuanying. Once it was night, Mi Xiaojing''s recitation of the Mantra would cause his Yuanying to copse again.This time there was no time toin. Wang Weijun was desperately cultivating, trying to gain some time to make his Yuanying stronger, so that it wouldn''t copse after reciting mantras all night.


    There are three stages of the Yuanjue period: taking refuge, cultivation, and awakening. Mi Xiaojing had already reached the awakening stage, which means that once he umted enough, he could advance to the next level.


    Wang Weijun''s crazy cultivation brought great benefits to Mi Xiaojing. Spiritual Qi quickly poured into his body, washing his organs, meridians, bones, and flesh.


    Apart from reciting mantras at night, Mi Xiaojing only absorbed a little Qianyang purple gas in the morning, and spent all his other time collecting various mountain goods for the winter.


    Ginger, Huangjing, Fuling, ginseng, and wild red dates were all ingredients that Mi Xiaojing needed. There were many of these on the mountain, and he could always find a lot as long as he searched patiently.


    Every day, Wang Weijun was cultivating frantically, spending every night in agony. His hope every day was to inhale three mouthfuls of Qianyang purple gas in the morning. Life was simply unbearable.


    Every day, Mi Xiaojing collected mountain goods on the mountain, recited mantras at night, and absorbed a little Qianyang purple gas in the morning. His life was veryfortable.


    Every day, Wang Weijun''s greatest hope was not the three mouthfuls of Qianyang purple gas in the morning. His greatest wish was for Mi Xiaojing to take a nap. How could hemunicate or deceive him if Mi Xiaojing didn''t sleep? But for ten consecutive days, Mi Xiaojing didn''t sleep at all.

 Chapter 18: The Sudden Enlightenment of Yuan Ying

    <h4>Chapter 18: The Sudden Enlightenment of Yuan Ying</h4>


    Days passed one by one, but Wang Weijun did not wait for Mi Xiaojing to fall asleep again. However, as a former expert during their fusion period, he persevered through the torment. With time passing by, his Yuan Ying had already stabilizedpletely. A night of reciting mantras was no longer enough to make his Yuan Ying reach the brink of copse.


    In other words, in a short period of time, Wang Weijun had already recovered, at least not hovering on the brink of death. It must be said that Wang Weijun was extraordinary, cultivation was not something to be taken lightly, only those with a deep understanding of cultivation would have such a foundation to recover their Yuan Ying.


    Of course, it was impossible for him to recover to the level of a fused Yuan Ying. Wang Weijun''s current Yuan Ying state was stable at the Yuan Ying period.


    At this point, Wang Weijun was not in a hurry. After all, he had been practicing for so many years, and once he settled down, he had the patience to wait.


    The cold west wind blew, and the first snow of early winter came to the Western Expansion Sect without notice.


    The snow fell in flurries in the middle of the night, and the piercing cold wind swept across thend. Even Mi Xiaojing, who was still reciting mantras, had to stop because Luo Bo was about to climb into his arms. It was too cold.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately lit the earthen kang. As the mes burned, the earthen kang gradually warmed up. By then, the window paper had already turned white, and the sky was not bright yet. It was the reflection of the white snow.


    Luo Bo''s originally curled up body gradually rxed, and the warm kang allowed him to continue sleeping.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to sit on the rush cushion and recite mantras. With so much homework, it had to bepleted. This time, he kept reciting mantras until dawn.


    Due to the heavy snow, Mi Xiaojing had no ce to absorb even a trace of Qianyang purple Qi. Wang Weijun''s Yuan Ying was in a sorry state. His hard-earned stable Yuan Ying could not be supported by Qianyang purple Qi, so he could only increase the speed of absorbing spiritual Qi. In this way, Mi Xiaojing benefited even more.


    Firstly, he was no longer afraid of the cold. In previous winters, Mi Xiaojing had suffered a lot. Except for heating the earthen kang at night, he would freeze whenever he went out. This year, after the snowfall, Mi Xiaojing went out and didn''t feel much cold.


    But Wang Weijun had to continue practicing desperately. Otherwise, the night''s recitation of mantras could have cost him his life.


    In the morning, Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo got up. Luo Bo was young and dared not go out. He would freeze to death with just one set of patched clothing. He could only clean the room and curl up on the earthen kang, relying on the fire kang to resist the cold.


    Mi Xiaojing took a broom and swept away the snow in the courtyard. The masters of the Western Expansion Sect also took wooden shovels and brooms to clear the snow in the sect.


    The morning bell rang, and some masters went to the main hall to recite mantras. It was time for morning ss.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to clean the courtyard. No one took care of this small courtyard, so he had to clean it thoroughly.


    In winter, the Western Expansion Sect usually had the habit of closing the mountain gate and the masters generally did not go out. Winter was an important time for Evolutionary Immortality, and there would be many cultivation activities. Of course, there were also masters who went out.


    During the coldest time of winter, the Western Expansion Sect would send out some powerful masters to guard the Maple Forest Vige. At that time, the wild beasts on the mountain woulde and harass the vige because there was nothing to eat in the mountains. However, Maple Forest Vige had people, livestock, poultry, and a lot of dogs, making it an attractive ce for wild beasts.


    Mi Xiaojing was qualified to guard Maple Forest Vige, but because he was young, the masters of the sect did not agree to let him go. As an Ascension period Evolutionary Immortal, he was almost at the level of promotion, but he had hardly mastered anybat skills or abilities.Unlike cultivators, who have strong physical strength after reaching theter stage of Qi cultivation, evolutionary immortals are weak in the early stages of ascension. However, once they reach theter stages, their strength is not inferior to cultivators. In fact, evolutionary immortals who specialize inbat are even more powerful than cultivators.


    There are also differences between the refining tools used by evolutionary immortals and those used by cultivators. Generally speaking, the weapons used by evolutionary immortals are extremely simple and have little power at first. However, as they continue to cultivate, their power increases.


    The weapons used by evolutionary immortals are often their favorite ascension tools, such as prayer beads, wooden sticks, and bowls.


    Mi Xiaojing''s only ascension tool is the eighteen prayer beads on his wrist. He is very poor, unlike cultivators who have ess to spirit stones and even gold and silver coins.


    After cleaning the courtyard, Mi Xiaojing returned to his room, added some firewood to the stove, and sat down on the heated earthen bed. Every day, he teaches Luo Bo ten characters and lets him practice and memorize them on his own.


    A sand table and a wooden stick are the only teaching and learning tools they have. Luo Bo is very diligent in his studies and has learned hundreds of characters in the past few months.


    Since he doesn''t have to gather materials on the mountain, Mi Xiaojing has a lot of free time. However, he doesn''t ck off and spends his time meditating and reciting mantras.


    Wang Weijun is scared by the night-time mantras and cries loudly. He knows that without the supplement of Qianyang''s purple qi, he will not be able to make up for the damage caused by reciting the mantras, and he will die.


    Under the influence of the mantras, Wang Weijun begins to reflect on his life. As he thinks about his past deeds, he realizes that he is getting what he deserves. Suddenly, the damage caused by the mantras bes smaller, and he can withstand it.


    Just as he manages to hold on, there is a sudden knock on the door, followed by a scream and the sound of a powerful force shattering the door and sending blood and flesh flying into the room.

 Chapter 19: Family extermination

    <h4>Chapter 19: Family extermination</h4>


    The whole room was instantly destroyed, the sword aura whistled and mixed in the flying snow, quickly suppressing the rising smoke and dust.


    The entire Western Expansion Sect was like boiling water, with shouts and killings echoing between heaven and earth.


    Mi Xiaojing held Luo Bo and faced the Chanmen, but he couldn''t avoid it. This time, the Mantra Banner saved his life. Countless pale golden Spirit Script characters floated on his body surface, blocking the fatal blow, but he was still beaten into a bloody mess.


    With one blow, the attacker clearly thought that there could not be anyone alive here, so he left directly and ran towards the other residences of the Western Expansion Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing covered Luo Bo''s mouth with his hand to prevent him from making a sound. His heart was pounding. He had never seen anyone killed before, nor had he ever witnessed such a cruel thing. He struggled to remove the tiles and rubble piled on him, as well as a beam that fortunately fell beside him. If it had fallen on him, he wouldn''t know if he could have blocked it.


    After checking, although he had some injuries, they were only minor abrasions. The truly powerful attacks were all blocked by the Mantra Banner. Enduring the burning pain, Mi Xiaojing nervously checked Luo Bo and found that he had not been injured, which made him slightly relieved.


    Without a roof, the cold and snow outside rushed in. Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo were trembling with cold. Until now, Mi Xiaojing was still confused. He couldn''t figure out what had happened outside and why someone came to destroy the house.


    The two children hid in the corner of the wall, wrapped in a tattered quilt, shivering as they looked outside. There was not only fighting on the ground, but also in the sky. Therefore, both of them saw the figures shaking in the sky and the asional shes of light.


    It was like a thunderstorm, with shes of light illuminating the earth from time to time. Due to the heavy snow, it was not very clear, and the dull rumbling shook the two children.


    Luo Bo was even more frightened, staring nkly at the sky.


    "Xiao Mi... Xiao Mi gege, who... who are they?"


    "I... I don''t know."


    Mi Xiaojing really didn''t know who these people were, but he had his own guesses and could vaguely see the people in the sky, suspecting that they were the so-called cultivators.


    In the heavy snow, the wind was cold and fierce, and the snowkes the size of copper coins turned into white lines. Even with amazing vision, it was impossible to see the airborne battles clearly. Only the asional shes of light could make it clear that several people were shuttling back and forth in the air.


    Luo Bo was cold and scared, and his voice trembled non-stop.


    "They... they can fly... fly... people are flying... d-d-d... I''m scared!"


    His teeth couldn''t help but chatter, making a ttering sound.


    Mi Xiaojing was not much better, with his teeth also chattering. The teeth of the two children kept cking back and forth.


    "D-d-d... don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, I''m here... not afraid!"


    Boom!


    A person fell from the sky like a rock, directly smashing through the roof of the neighboring room andnding inside. Then, a roar was heard.


    "I will ascend you!"


    A shadow flew directly out of the smashed roof, and then Mi Xiaojing saw a golden pestle, shimmering with dazzling golden light, whistling out of the hands of that Evolutionary Immortal.


    "Brother Bian!"Seeing the golden light shining, Mi Xiaojing was shocked. He recognized it as the weapon of the first seat of Guanfa Hall, Brother Bian.


    Then Mi Xiaojing saw a sword shining brightly. The sword gave him a feeling of extreme coldness and sharpness, especially when it cut through the Vajra Staff, the feeling of sharpness was so extreme that it seemed to freeze his heart.


    Like Master Zeng Li, Brother Bian was also a cultivator in the Ascension stage. But now he was killed by a cultivator with a single sword strike.


    Mi Xiaojing watched the sword with a chilling aura pierce through Brother Bian''s chest, and his blood flew in the air with the snowkes.


    Brother Bian let out a deafening roar and fell to the ground. This time he did not fly up again.


    After the person flew out with his sword, he did not even look back. He casually waved his hand, and the flying sword suddenly turned around in the air. He stepped on it and disappeared in the snowstorm.


    Mi Xiaojing, with Luo Bo, stumbled over to Brother Bian.


    "Brother, wake up... Brother..."


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo pushed Brother Bian hard and called out to him. After a moment, Brother Bian let out a sigh-like gasp, slowly opening his eyes.


    Brother Bian''s eyes were almost lifeless, and he struggled to recognize the person in front of him.


    Mi Xiaojing grabbed a handful of snow and pressed it against the bleeding wound. In an instant, the snow turned red. Mi Xiaojing''s eyes turned red too. He found himself unable to stop the bleeding.


    "Brother, Brother, what should I do?"


    Luo Bo took off the quilt wrapped around him and covered Brother Bian''s body, trying to help stop the bleeding.


    Finally, Brother Bian recognized the two children in front of him.


    "Mi Xiaojing... good child, don''t stay in the sect, run away... go to Tusi City... Tusi City, go... go to Tusi City..."


    Mi Xiaojing had never left Western Expansion Sect in his life. How could he know where Tusi City was?


    "Brother, where''s the medicine? I... I have no medicine!"


    "I''m done for... my heart is broken..."


    This sword strike was very cruel, directly piercing through his heart. Even if there was medicine, it couldn''t save him.


    "Help... help me... sit up..."


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo pushed Brother Bian''s back hard, helping him sit up.


    With Mi Xiaojing''s help, Brother Bian sat in a cross-legged position, reciting mantras. In an instant, everything around him seemed to be quiet.


    At first, his mantras were still clear, but they onlysted for a minute before his voice gradually became lower, and then Brother Bian''s body stiffened.


    Mi Xiaojing held Luo Bo in his arms, feeling extremely cold in his heart as well as in the cold weather. He witnessed the cruelty of the world for the first time. Western Expansion Sect was a very peaceful ce, although life was hard, there was no real conflict within the sect.


    Whether it was Master Zeng Li or Brother Bian, they were very good to the true evolutionary disciples. Mi Xiaojing treated them as if they were his own family.


    Watching his loved ones being killed, Mi Xiaojing felt like his heart was on fire.


    All these changes were heard clearly by Wang Weijun in the scripture pavilion. He was secretly delighted because as long as Mi Xiaojing''s mind was unbnced, he would be easily tempted and controlled by him.Mi Xiaojing held Luo Bo in his arms, both shivering from the cold. He looked up at the sky where the battle still raged on fiercely. Every now and then, someone would fall down, and they couldn''t tell if it was an Ascension from inside the gate or an invader from outside.

 Chapter 20: Master Zeng Li

    <h4>Chapter 20: Master Zeng Li</h4>


    Fire fell in clusters, and most of the buildings in Western Evolutionary Sect were made of wood and stone. As the mes fell, a big fire quickly ignited.


    Fire, snow, blood, flying swords, various lights and shadows intertwined, various weapons flew horizontally, and various screams and howls resounded. At this moment, the ancient Western Evolutionary Sect was weeping.


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo crawled and walked in the snow. They finally slipped out of the corner gate, but their positions were in the backyard of Western Evolutionary Sect, so there were rtively few enemies here.


    They sneaked to the corner of the wall and escaped along the courtyard wall.


    Not long after, a cultivator in gorgeous clothing appeared in front of them. He stood in the snow with a cold expression.


    "Squat on the ground, otherwise...you''ll die!"


    He was only responsible for stopping ordinary people and not allowing anyone to leave.


    Mi Xiaojing looked at him. He was a tall guy with a big sword in his hand. Mi Xiaojing understood that the only consequence of resistance was death, as he said. There was no second possibility. So Mi Xiaojing hugged Luo Bo and squatted down.


    He had no intention of resisting at all. Mi Xiaojing had been taught to be kind to others since he was young. Suddenly encountering a viin, he didn''t know what to do.


    At this moment, a person holding something slipped out of the corner gate and quickly fled outside. He didn''t run far before he saw Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo squatting on the ground, and then he saw the cultivator.


    The man''s face showed bitterness. He didn''t need anyone to tell him and automatically ran to Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo and squatted down.


    "Junior Brother Zhang Ke..."


    "Younger Junior Brother!"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled, and Zhang Ke was holding a quilt. He looked at the trembling two people and immediately wrapped them up in the quilt.


    The cultivator sneered. As long as the other party didn''t resist, he had no intention of killing them.


    With a quilt wrapped around him, Mi Xiaojing felt less cold. He looked back at Western Evolutionary Sect. The big fire had dyed the sky red. He had deep feelings for Western Evolutionary Sect after living here for so many years. It was like his own home. Seeing his home burned down, the anger in his heart burned like mes.


    Zhang Ke sighed and shook his head constantly. He didn''t have less feelings for Western Evolutionary Sect than Mi Xiaojing.


    One after another, many children orborers escaped, but they were all blocked by the cultivator and squatted around Mi Xiaojing.


    A cultivator fell from the sky, and the standing cultivator greeted him.


    "Master, we have blocked it here, and no one has escaped."


    "Well, good, good. As long as they don''t resist, don''t kill them. We needbor."


    "Yes, Master, I obey the order." He saluted and took a step back, bowing his head slightly to show respect.


    At this time, there were already fifteen or sixteen people squatting on the ground, forming a small circle. Because of the extreme cold, everyone huddled together to keep warm.


    The people around Mi Xiaojing had a thinyer of snow on their bodies. He saw a strange scene. Any snow falling on the two cultivators above them would be bounced off by an invisible force. Not a single snowke could fall on them.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing realized that this was the power of cultivators!


    Not a single snowke touched their bodies!


    For the first time, Mi Xiaojing had a desire for power.


    Western Evolutionary Sect was still resisting, and the battle was still going on, but the sound of fighting was getting smaller and smaller.


    This also meant that the power of Western Evolutionary Sect was rapidly declining, and the number of people fighting was gradually decreasing.At this moment, a dark figure flew out from the direction of the Western Expansion Sect, heading towards where Mi Xiaojing and the others were. As soon as he flew out of the Western Expansion Sect, he saw a crowd of people gathered on the ground.


    "Quick, run! Run!"


    Before the person evennded, one of the two cultivators on guard flew into the air, emitting a coldugh.


    "Hmph, trying to run? Let''s see if I let you!"


    Mi Xiaojing quickly recognized the person who flew out, it was Zeng Li, the head of the Yuanjue Hall of the Western Expansion Sect.


    The people on the ground were in an uproar.


    "Master!"


    "It''s Master Zeng Li!"


    "Senior brother!"


    If you were to ask who Mi Xiaojing was closest to in the Western Expansion Sect, regardless of the others, Zeng Li would definitely be in first ce. It was Zeng Li who had saved him back then. Although he was strict with Mi Xiaojing, he genuinely cared for and protected him. So when Mi Xiaojing saw Zeng Li, his heart seemed to stop beating.


    All the disciples of the Western Expansion Sect looked up at the sky, watching Zeng Li fly towards the opponent.


    Zeng Li raised his hand and arge golden ball of light, mixed with faint golden mantras and spirit scripts, appeared. Mi Xiaojing immediately noticed that this ball of light had been transformed from the prayer beads.


    Mi Xiaojing had never known that a string of prayer beads could be used like this. He reached out to touch the eighteen prayer beads wrapped around his wrist, even more curious.


    The ball of light flew incredibly fast. The opponent raised his hand and a talisman appeared, shooting out a bolt of lightning that hit the ball of light directly.


    Boom!


    The golden ball of light dimmed a lot, but still shot towards the opponent.


    A sword light flickered and instantly shattered the ball of light, turning into a silver light and stabbing towards Zeng Li. The people below were frightened and cried out in shock.


    Zeng Li suddenly threw his prayer beads, which exploded into a chain of 108 beads, instantly transforming into a chain that flew towards the cultivator.


    The sword light struck the chain, only causing sparks to fly, unable to shake the prayer beads. This was the evolutionary tool that Zeng Li had been practicing with since the beginning of his cultivation. Its texture had long since changed, and its toughness was unbelievable.


    A series of ngs sounded as the chain formed by the prayer beads flew around the opponent, forming a series of shadows that, when viewed from below, had a strange beauty.


    The cultivator yelled and the sword light shed back and forth, trying to break the chain formed by the prayer beads.


    Luo Bo''s eyes lit up, although he was still shivering from the cold, he tightly clenched his fist. Mi Xiaojing was the same, with a nervous look on his face. This was the first time he had seen such an exciting battle.


    Wang Weijun was in the Mantra Banner and couldn''t see outside, but he was a cultivator who had reached thebined period, with unparalleled experience. He could almost guess what was happening outside just from the sound.


    "Fool! Idiots! You''re all going to die if you don''t run away! Why fight when you''re already outnumbered? You don''t even know how to die!"


    Wang Weijun wasining in the Mantra Banner, but he waspletely powerless. If Mi Xiaojing died, he would be finished as well, so he was also extremely anxious.


    In the end, the chain formed by the 108 prayer beads sessfully entangled the cultivator flying in the air.


    Zeng Li didn''t pay attention to him and instead flew towards another cultivator on the ground, shouting, "Run!"

 Chapter 21: Heartbroken

    <h4>Chapter 21: Heartbroken</h4>


    The cultivator on the ground showed fear on his face. He was only a Qi refining stage cultivator and couldn''t fly. There was no hope of winning against Master Zeng Li. Master Zeng Li''s strength wasparable to that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.


    The man raised his sword in despair and swung it fiercely.


    Master Zeng Li pped him and sent him flying with his sword and all.


    "Run!"


    Everyone scattered and ran towards the West Mountain. Zhang Ke pulled Mi Xiaojing, who dragged Luo Bo. The three of them stumbled and crawled through the snow, but they couldn''t run fast. The snow was several feet deep, and every step sank in deeply.


    Master Zeng Li was pped his opponent and then flew into the sky. At this moment, a sword light flew out from the direction of the Western Evolutionary Sect, illuminating the entire sky.


    Master Zeng Li had no way to avoid this sword. His only weapon was a string of 108 prayer beads, which were still wrapped around another cultivator.


    Mi Xiaojing happened to look back and saw the red sword light pierce through Master Zeng Li''s chest. In an instant, the sword light turned around, and Master Zeng Li fell from the sky like a stone without making a sound.


    He let go of Zhang Ke''s hand and turned to run towards Master Zeng Li.


    Luo Bo followed him, and wherever Mi Xiaojing went, he went too. Zhang Ke sighed and ran back.


    When Master Zeng Li fell from the sky, the prayer beads lost control and scattered instantly. The cultivator who had been bound broke free and showed a fierce expression.


    The sword light flickered, and several people who had run the farthest were immediately killed by the flying sword. The others were scared and stood still, not daring to continue running.


    "Whoever runs will die! Come back!"


    Everyone dared not run anymore and could only walk back, their faces ashen.


    Mi Xiaojing crawled to Master Zeng Li''s side and saw the wound on his chest. He grabbed a handful of snow and pressed it on the wound.


    "Master, wake up! Master..."


    The cultivator in the sky came down and grabbed Mi Xiaojing by the cor, throwing him aside. He looked down and knew that Master Zeng Li was dead, pierced through the chest by a sword. His heart was broken, and even a god couldn''t save him.


    Mi Xiaojing was thrown two yards away, but he got up and rushed towards Master Zeng Li again.


    .


    The cultivator didn''t care this time. He flew into the sky and shouted, "I''ll leave this to you. No one is allowed to run away!" Then he flew towards the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    The cultivator who had been pped away by Master Zeng Li answered and pulled out a whip from his waist. He whipped the staggering man, and his mouth twitched.


    "If anyone dares to run again, I''ll kill him!"


    Everyone gathered around Master Zeng Li, their faces full of sadness.


    Mi Xiaojing tried to stop the bleeding from Master Zeng Li''s wound with all his strength, but he couldn''t stop the blood. He had no medicine at hand and could only watch the blood dye the snow red.


    Master Zeng Li opened his eyes and looked at Mi Xiaojing, showing a hint of impatience."Silly child, why didn''t you run away..."


    "Master..."


    Mi Xiaojing''s tears couldn''t stop flowing. First, Senior Brother Bian died in front of him, and now it was Senior Brother Zeng Li. This blow was really too big.


    "Don''t cry, live well..."


    "Master, why do they kill people... isn''t killing a sin? Master... what should I do?"


    Master Zeng Li''s face was pale. He reluctantly reached out and touched Mi Xiaojing''s hair.


    "Silly child, if someone wants to kill us, then kill them..."


    "Ah? Ah!"


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. This waspletely different from what his master usually taught him.


    "Silly child, it''s different outside... Zhang Ke, help me sit up."


    Zhang Ke helped Zeng Li sit up. The master had just said "May the ancestors be merciful..." before closing his eyes in ce.


    Among this group of people, some were Evolutionary Immortals. They sat down and silently recited mantras, sending Master Zeng Li''s soul back to the embrace of the Evolutionary''s Ancestors.


    The cultivator frowned and watched, but did not stop them. As far as he was concerned, as long as they didn''t resist, he basically ignored them. In his opinion, they were just a group of ants. If it weren''t for the strict orders of the sect, he wouldn''t mind killing them all.


    After a night of killing, the sky finally brightened. The fire of the Western Expansion Sect illuminated the entire snowy field, melting the snow with its scorching heat, like a torch shining on the earth.


    The Western Expansion Sect waspletely destroyed by the fire.


    A mess.


    ck smoke sank into the snow, with broken walls and traces of blood on the ground.


    The Western Expansion Sect lost. The Evolutionary Immortals were all killed. Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo had no attack ability and couldn''t fly. In addition, the two were just children. Although Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level was not bad, he didn''t know how to use powerful attack techniques. That was the reason why the two of them survived.


    The Evolutionary Immortals above the Observation Stage were equivalent to Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Cultivation World, like Master Zeng Li. Even the head of the Western Expansion Sect and his younger martial brother, who were even more powerful, were at the Qi Refining stage, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Cultivation World, and they all lost.


    The remaining masters with lower cultivation levels and ordinaryborers had no resistance at all. They were gathered with Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and others on the open space in the main hall of the Western Expansion Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing felt sad and powerless for the first time. He felt the pain of being at the mercy of others.


    Luo Bo looked up and asked softly, "Will they kill us?"


    "They won''t!"


    Zhang Ke hugged the two children tightly, his face showing a determined expression.


    "I heard... they need people..."


    In the crowd, aborer moved towards the main hall. When the cultivator guarding him was not paying attention, he suddenly elerated and ran towards the main hall.


    Snap!


    A cultivator with astonishing speed caught up and whipped him, causing theborer to fly back and hit the steps of the main hall. Blood quickly spread under him, and his skull was shattered by the whip.


    One whip killed him, and he didn''t even make a sound before he died.


    Everyone was scared and dared not move.Trantion:


    These ten or so cultivators, each dressed in luxurious clothing, silk and fur, their bodies truly shining with all kinds of treasures, even in the midst of heavy snowfall, their radiance cannot be concealed.


    There were both men and women, the women were truly beautiful, the men handsome,pared to the group of masters and workers trapped in the open space, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    The cultivators who stayed behind were all disciples in the Qi refining stage, this was part of the sect''s mission. After the experts killed the people of the Western Evolutionary Sect who could resist, they temporarily left, leaving these disciples behind to take care of the survivors.

 Chapter 22: Flying Boat

    <h4>Chapter 22: Flying Boat</h4>


    One wait is two hours, and not only Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo are freezing to death, but everyone else can''t stand it either. The winter here is not an ordinary cold, the piercing cold wind forces everyone to huddle together for warmth, with children in the middle and adults on the outside.


    Suddenly, the crowd hears a muffled sound, and heavy snow mixed with strong winds cause a huge shadow to appear from the snowy sky.


    Mi Xiaojing barely opens his eyes.


    What is this thing?


    He has never seen a boat before, so this flying boat is the first he''s ever seen. The only incredible thing is that this thing is actually flying, and it''s really big.


    Flying boats are the transportation ofrge cultivator sects, and generally require a huge amount of energy to support them. The consumption of a flying boat is easily several hundred spirit stones, and they are not ordinary spirit stones.


    The crowd is in an uproar, and everyone suddenly understands that they are here to capture people. Although they don''t know each other, everyone instinctively knows that this flying thing can take them away.


    Sure enough, the flying boat gradually descends until it hovers a few meters above the ground. A row of windows appears on the side of the flying boat, and wooden pedals are released from inside, extending directly to the ground.


    "Get in, hurry up!"


    The whip snaps on the ground, sshing snow and mud, and several cultivators shout and drive people up.


    Zhang Ke protects Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo as they walk towards the flying boat.


    "Don''t resist, just follow along and endure it."


    Mi Xiaojing doesn''t speak, he just silently follows along. The events of the day have left him confused,pletely different from the education he received. Reality has given him the best lesson.


    Why do they want to kill people?


    Why do they want to kill the seniors and elder brothers of Western Expansion Sect?


    He wants to save people, but he doesn''t have enough power, he can''t even heal injuries. He has no medicine.


    These questions have left his mind in a mess, he can''t figure it out. For a child who grew up in the Evolutionary Sect, as pure as a nk sheet of paper, even if he is very smart, he still can''t understand. This is the first time he has witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the cultivation world.


    Following the others, they quickly climb up the flying boat using the pedals.


    The bottom cabin of the flying boat is filled with a murky smell, and then they see a shocking scene: all the vigers of Maple Forest Vige are inside.


    The vige chief and his family, and even Mi Xiaojing sees Luo Grandpa and his family.The bottom cabin wasrge and although the smell was bad, it was warm. After Mi Xiaojing and the others entered the bottom cabin, the outside pedal was quickly retracted and the cabin door closed.


    Zhang Ke protected the two and found a corner,id the quilt on the ground, and pulled Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo to sit down.


    The vige chief uncle gathered a group of people around him. There were not many Evolutionary Immortals left, mostly children. Except for Zhang Ke and other senior low-level Evolutionary Immortals, those with slightly higher cultivation levels were all killed.


    As the flying boat vibrated, Mi Xiaojing knew that they had already left the Western Evolutionary Sect. His eyes were confused, not knowing what would happen in the future, nor did he know where this strange big thing would take him.


    There were no cultivators in the bottom cabin, only a few servants who were very fierce. Anyone who dared to speak or stand up would be whipped by them.


    "Where are we going?" Mi Xiaojing asked Zhang Ke softly.


    "Who knows, I don''t know... who are they?!"


    Zhang Ke had the lowest cultivation level among the Evolutionary Immortals and was also someone who relied on the Western Evolutionary Sect for his livelihood. He had hardly ever left the sect and was equally unfamiliar with the outside world. This was a rtively closed world. It was normal to have less knowledge and experience.


    Cultivators, Evolutionary Immortals, Zhang Ke knew a little, but he couldn''t figure out the rest, especially the outside world, which he was even more unfamiliar with. When Mi Xiaojing asked him, he couldn''t answer at all.


    Inside the bottom cabin, some people were crying, some were speaking softly, and it was a bit noisy. The air was also extremely polluted, and everyone had to endure it. Everyone was afraid of the person who could kill them at any time.


    After about a day and a night, the flying boat suddenly tilted. After a moment, the shaking stopped. Even the most dull person knew that the flying boat should have stopped.


    Sure enough, the cabin door of the bottom cabin opened, and the vigers of Fenglin Vige were driven out like livestock. Theborers of the Western Evolutionary Sect were also driven out. Only the small Evolutionary Immortals of the Western Evolutionary Sect were left in the bottom cabin. After a moment, the flying boat left again.


    Mi Xiaojing observed anxiously. He had an instinctive feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn''t understand where the problem was.


    The flying boat flew for more than an hour and finally stopped. The cabin door opened, and there were only eighteen Evolutionary Immortals in this group. Because Mi Xiaojing had been holding Luo Bo and wrapping him in the quilt, Luo Bo was brought here by Mi Xiaojing.


    Driven by people, everyone came out of the bottom cabin.


    There were eighteen people, plus Luo Bo, a total of neen people.Then, Mi Xiaojing saw a huge square surrounded by countless buildings and mountains. Many people were standing on the square. Obviously, some of them were just there to watch the excitement, while the crowd standing in front of the flying boat were the ones in charge. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an imposing manner, making them look superior and arrogant.


    The entire square was in an uproar when Mi Xiaojing and his group got off the boat.


    Most of these young Evolutionary Immortals were very young, and the older ones had almost all been killed. Zhang Ke was the oldest among them, but his cultivation level was so low that he posed no threat and was spared. The older ones were there to take care of the younger ones so they wouldn''t be scared to death.


    Mi Xiaojing sadly looked at the Western Evolutionary Sect''s Evolutionary Immortals, most of whom had died, leaving only a few low-level disciples, and his cultivation level was considered the best among them.


    Among these young Evolutionary Immortals, except for Luo Bo, the youngest was only nine years old, and the oldest was about the same age as Mi Xiaojing, around thirteen or fourteen years old. Some of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Zhang Ke was the oldest. Two others were only slightly younger than Zhang Ke, and their cultivation levels were the same as his, the lowest level of Evolutionary Immortals.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing felt like a beast, standing in the crowd, feeling extremely angry. He lowered his head and hugged Luo Bo tightly, not knowing what kind of humiliation he would face next.


    "We brought fewer people this time. We won''t ept those who were assignedst time. Those who are qualified to take these young Evolutionary Immortals can choose for themselves!"


    "I''ll choose first!"


    A clear voice, like an oriole''s chirping, rang out. The young Evolutionary Immortals had been looking down, but when they heard the voice, they looked up curiously.


    It was rare to see women from the Western Evolutionary Sect, except when they went to Maple Forest Vige, where they might encounter female rtives. Most of the time, these young Evolutionary Immortals rarely saw women.


    Mi Xiaojing was also surprised and looked up. He felt that the voice was very pleasant to listen to.

 Chapter 23: Sword Heart Sect

    <h4>Chapter 23: Sword Heart Sect</h4>


    The so-called cultivators have no ugly women. Of course, if someone is solely focused on cultivation and doesn''t care about looks, they may maintain their original appearance.


    Mi Xiaojing looked in astonishment at the woman.


    She was an extremely beautiful young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with picturesque features and a lively demeanor. Judging by the respectful attitude of those around her, it was clear that her status was quite high. The faint pressure emanating from her indicated that she was at least a foundation-building cultivator.


    The young girl''s bright and lively eyes scanned the crowd, and when she saw Mi Xiaojing, her eyes lit up.


    When it came to looks, Mi Xiaojing could outshine everyone in the group. And it was all natural, without any modifications. It was well known that cultivators could change their appearance once they reached the Nascent Soul stage, instantly bing handsome or beautiful.


    The young girl pointed a finger.


    "It''s that little guy! Hehe, don''t turn your head, I''m talking about you!"


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly realized that the woman was referring to him.


    Two big men rushed into the crowd and pulled Mi Xiaojing out, tearing open the quilt that he was wrapped in and revealing Luo Bo.


    Luo Bo was thin and small, making it difficult to spot him in the quilt. The crowd was surprised at first, but then burst intoughter.


    "Haha, buy one get one free!"


    "Two of them! This is a real bargain. The youngdy has good taste!"


    The young girl raised her head proudly.


    "I want both of them!"


    Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that they would be separated. Regardless, being able to bring Luo Bo with him was afort. The people of the Western Expansion Sect were almost dead.


    Anyone with a little life experience could see that the woman was selecting people like she was choosing pets. She didn''t treat Mi Xiaojing as an equal.


    Mi Xiaojing was angry in his heart, but his face remained calm. At this moment, he finally understood some truths that he had never understood before.


    At this point, Mi Xiaojing made up his mind. He would be extraordinary and never be a weakling at the mercy of others. He would be a super powerhouse.


    Then the young cultivators of the Western Expansion Sect were divided up. Zhang Ke and another low-level cultivator were not chosen because they were too old.


    Someone said, "Send them to the mines. They need more workers there!"


    Mi Xiaojing looked up at the young girl, wanting to say something but hesitating. He understood that he had no say here.


    Zhang Ke looked frightened, his face turning pale as he looked around.


    At this point, an older cultivator walked over and said, "We need people over there. These two...if no one wants them, give them to us for the alchemy room."


    The leader of the cultivators nodded, saying, "Then they''re yours. If you don''t want them, send them to the mines. After all, they''re two strongborers. Don''t waste them."


    Zhang Ke and hispanion were scared out of their wits. They instinctively sensed that going to the mines would be terrible. They dared not speak or resist, smiling and following the man. After all, they were still mortals at their core.


    Someone led Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo away, and the crowd gradually dispersed.


    Luo Bo tightly held Mi Xiaojing''s hand, nervously trembling. There was no snow here, and the weather wasn''t very cold. The leaves were yellow, clearly indicating that it was still autumn. But both Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo felt a chill in their hearts. They were both lost, after all, they were young and unprepared for sudden changes in their environment.The proud little girl didn''t even look at Mi Xiaojing again, turned around and nned to leave. At this moment, a sword rainbow shed by, and an old man fell on the square. He had just stabilized himself, and the people who hadn''t left yet came forward one by one and bowed with extremely respectful attitudes.


    "Elder Guan is here!"


    "Elder Guan is good!"


    "Greetings to Elder Guan..."


    The little girl also came forward and bowed when she saw Elder Guan. "Senior Guan, why are you here?"


    "Mo Yuer, just here to y..."


    Elder Guan, named Guan Shangli, was a steward of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, a pill master, and also a mid-level Foundation Establishment expert in the Sword Heart Sect. He nodded and casually answered Mo Yuer''s question before scanning the surrounding situation.


    Most of the people who were brought by the flying boat had already been taken away, leaving only Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo standing alone on the square. The others around were staying to tter Mo Yuer. It should be noted that Mo Yuer was the only daughter of the Sword Heart Sect''s Sect Master and was a proud woman here. Even Elder Guan, such as the Sect''s steward, was very polite to her.


    Mo Yuer smiled and said, "Senior Guan, do you have any business here?"


    Guan Shangli said, "Chen Shibo needs an alchemy boy, and I came to get someone. Didn''t we just capture these two little guys after defeating an Evolutionary Sect?"


    Mo Yuer smiled and said, "Senior Guan, you came toote. They have been picked by others. These two... are the ones I want. If Senior Guan wants them, I can transfer them to Grandpa Chen."


    Mi Xiaojing was very angry in his heart. The items were passed around like this, and at this moment, he hated the entire cultivation world. It was really too hateful.


    Luo Bo held onto Mi Xiaojing''s sleeve tightly, feeling even more nervous. Fortunately, with Mi Xiaojing here, he was able to calm down a bit. However, his face had turnedpletely pale.


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo were already powerless and unable to resist. The entire Western Expansion Sect had been wiped out, and as a low-level evolutionary immortal and an ordinary mortal, they could only ept their fate. This sense of powerlessness made Mi Xiaojing extremely ufortable.


    Guan Shangli was also toozy to bother and said, "Then just these two. This one is okay, but the other one is too young... forget it, just these two."


    Mo Yuer smiled and said, "Senior Guan, if you want these two, please tell Grandpa Chen that I am sending them to him as filial piety."


    Guan Shangli nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell Senior Chen."


    Mo Yuer left with a satisfied smile. She was very happy to have ttered the Grass-Benevolence Hall''s alchemy master. It should be noted that Chen Shouyi was a Foundation Establishment expert and more importantly, he was the Sword Heart Sect''s number one alchemy master.


    *************


    Qingmu Peak was one of the nine peaks of the Sword Heart Sect.


    The Sword Heart Sect had one mountain and nine peaks. The mountain and the peaks were transformed into a huge formation by countless experts of the sect. Once activated, it had tremendous power.


    Qingmu Peak was one of the peaks. The entire mountain was covered with lush trees, and spiritual herbs and medicines were scattered throughout the forest. The spiritual qi was overflowing, and the fragrance of medicine was strong. It was one of the most important ces in the Sword Heart Sect and also the location of the Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    At the waist of the peak, among the forest, there were scattered courtyards, which was the Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo lived in a dpidated small courtyard. After they were brought here, they were only given two sets of clothes and some rice and noodles. Then, for six or seven days, no one came to ask about them.

 Chapter 24: Senior Sister

    <h4>Chapter 24: Senior Sister</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo were initially scared, but gradually calmed down. Since no one was paying attention to them, they were happy to rx. Mi Xiaojing led Luo Bo to start tidying up the small courtyard. Qingmu Peak was vast and covered in dense forests, with all kinds of mountain goods inside.


    Following Mi Xiaojing''s experience, he knew that no matter what happens in the future, the first priority was to survive. So he began to look for something to eat in the nearby mountains and forests. For some reason, it was already snowing heavily when they were at the Western Expansion Sect, but it was still autumn here.


    Aside from cultivation, Mi Xiaojing had the habit of collecting various mountain goods, which he developed at the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    One day, Mi Xiaojingid out the collected Huangjing Mountain Yam to dry on the ground. He and Luo Bo were busy and sweating profusely when someone came in.


    A young man in gray clothes, holding a stick, knocked on the door frame with his stick before stepping in.


    "Hey, you''re living the good life. Listen up, the immortal master sent me to take you there."


    He sneered, looking high and mighty, but he was just an ordinary mortal servant.


    Mi Xiaojing looked up and knew that the man was a mortal. He felt uneasy and didn''t know how the cultivators here nned to deal with him, so he didn''t mind the man''s attitude and said, "Should I go alone or should we both go?"


    The young man replied, "Of course both of you. Hurry up! If you''rete, the immortal master will me you, and you won''t be able to handle the punishment! Hurry up!"


    Mi Xiaojing dusted off his clothes, took Luo Bo''s hand, and said calmly, "Lead the way."


    The man was stunned and felt insulted. He couldn''t help but say, "Kid, you dare to be arrogant here? You don''t even know how to die!"


    He then swung his stick towards Mi Xiaojing, thinking that he was just a child and that a few hits wouldn''t matter.


    Mi Xiaojing had always been kind and peaceful when interacting with people at the Western Evolutionary Sect. He felt inexplicably angry at the man''s words and actions. He said in a calm voice, "Let''s go."


    This word was a true word, a one-word true word. The man trembled all over, unable to resist the attack of the true word. He fell to the ground with a thud, and the wooden stick in his hand also fell to the ground.


    One word caused the man to tremble for half a minute. Then he looked at Mi Xiaojing with fear and shock in his eyes. It was only then that he realized that this child was not an ordinary person.After trembling for a while, the man managed to stand up. He picked up the wooden stick, not to hit anyone, but to use as a cane. He couldn''t help it, his body went limp and he didn''t dare make a sound. Trembling, he leaned on the stick and took slow and difficult steps forward.


    Luo Bo chuckled. "What a coward!"


    Mi Xiaojing held Luo Bo''s hand, a hint of worry on his face.


    The man didn''t dare to speak. In the Heart Sect, if a cultivator killed a mortal, it was like killing a chicken. At most, they would be fined a few spirit stones. If they had a certain status, they wouldn''t even be punished. Mortals had no status in front of cultivators.


    The road twisted and turned, with many forks, but luckily Mi Xiaojing had a good memory and remembered the way.


    Soon, they saw arge courtyard with a que outside the gate, bearing the three raised characters "Grass-Benevolence Hall".


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled by the fierce killing intent emanating from the characters. He knew that Grass-Benevolence Hall was where alchemy was practiced, and the meaning of grass and wood was often associated with vitality. Why was there such a strong killing intent?


    The man didn''t dare to rush them, his anxious eyes betraying his fear.


    Luo Bo gently tugged at Mi Xiaojing''s sleeve, bringing him back to reality. Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Let''s go."


    The guide shuddered slightly at Mi Xiaojing''s voice, then rxed. He was afraid of Mi Xiaojing''s strange power. A single word from him had caused the man to suffer greatly, and he didn''t want to hear any more words from Mi Xiaojing.


    They entered the courtyard of Grass-Benevolence Hall, which was simr to a traditional Chinese courtyard on Earth, but muchrger. There were buildings on three sides, with a medicinal field enclosed by restrictions in the center, various kinds of spirit herbs growing within, and several paths to walk on.


    There were many mortal servants working around them, but they didn''t stop their work even when they saw Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo. They were busy wiping the sweat from their faces.


    Soon, the young man led them through a small side door into a small courtyard. He approached the door carefully and whispered, "Master, the guests have arrived..."The door opened and a girl of fifteen or sixteen walked out, smiling and saying, "You''rete. Old man Chen has already left...hee hee."


    The young man''s face was sweating and he was clearly frightened. He stuttered, "This...I...I didn''t...he...I..." He wanted to shirk responsibility, but suddenly remembered that Mi Xiaojing was not someone to be trifled with, and he couldn''t speak clearly.


    "You can go down. You have nothing to do here..."


    The girl waved her hand, looking indifferent. The young man felt like he had been granted amnesty and ran away.


    "What an impolite guy!"


    The girl grumbled dissatisfiedly and then looked up and down at Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo.


    Mi Xiaojing was also curious and looked at the other party.


    The first impression was deep because the other party was dressed in gorgeous silk. This was the second time Mi Xiaojing had seen such a beautiful dress. For cultivation, the clothes were always simple as long as they could cover the body. He had never thought that clothes could be so beautiful.


    The girl was not pretty, but her peach blossom eyes were exceptionally agile and restless.


    "I''m Mu Xiaoyin. In the future, just call me Senior Sister."


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned.


    Senior Sister? What is this concept? I don''t n on cultivating!


    Mi Xiaojing also discovered a secret. Mu Xiaoyin was actually a mortal, with no trace of cultivation. This surprised Mi Xiaojing.

 Chapter 25: Cultivation

    <h4>Chapter 25: Cultivation</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Mi Xiaojing, this is your identity badge, and here are your clothes." Arge package was ced on the side.


    Mi Xiaojing took the identity badge somewhat dazedly. It was a palm-sized silver badge with the words "Grass-Benevolence Hall" on the front and his name in small letters on the back. No wonder Mu Xiaoyin could easily say his name.


    "This identity badge should be worn around your waist. Don''t lose it. As for him... he''s still too young to register his identity."


    Luo Bo didn''t care about having an identity badge. As long as he followed Mi Xiaojing, everything would be fine. He didn''t ask any further questions.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What am I supposed to do?"


    Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "Oh, you can talk! I thought you were mute. Well, from now on, you''ll be like me, following Chen Lao in alchemy and learning about herbs. Take this book back with you, and this Qi cultivation technique too."


    Two small books, one thick and one thin, were ced in front of Mi Xiaojing.


    "You should have a ce to stay, right?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, we have a ce to stay." He rarely spoke, only answering when asked. He was a man of few words and preferred to do things rather than talk, a self-protective instinct.


    "Come back the day after tomorrow. You don''t need to bring the little guy with you... he has nothing to do here."


    "Okay, what time should Ie?"


    "Come early in the morning, as early as possible. Also, you can choose to learn or not learn the Qi cultivation technique, but you need to familiarize yourself with the contents of this book as soon as possible. By the way, you can read, right?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, I can read."


    Mu Xiaoyin nodded and said, "That''s good. You can go now. Remember, if you''rete, you''ll be punished!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to stay here any longer. He didn''t say anything, picked up therge package on the ground, took the two books, and left the room.


    Although Mu Xiaoyin grumbled to herself, her ears were sharp enough to hear everything clearly. She couldn''t help but smile slightly. This little girl had left a good impression on him.


    Back in his courtyard, Mi Xiaojing ced therge package on the bed and opened the Qi cultivation technique book to read.


    Mi Xiaojing was very curious about cultivation because the power disyed by cultivators during the destruction of the Western Expansion Sect was too shocking.


    He thought that even if he didn''t cultivate himself, he should at least understand what cultivation was all about.


    The Qi cultivation technique was very simple, a basic cultivation method that allowed cultivators to cultivate their true Qi and reach the initial stage of cultivation, which was the primary Qi cultivation period. Mi Xiaojing was already at the Great Perfection stage of the Qi cultivation period, so the Qi cultivation technique was not mysterious to him. After reading it once, he immediately cultivated his true Qi, reaching the initial stage of Qi cultivation. In other words, he had cultivated his true Qi just by reading the book once.When the true Qi was swirling slightly in his body, Wang Weijun went crazy in the Mantra Banner. He couldn''t believe that Mi Xiaojing had actually cultivated true Qi. You should know that ascension and cultivators are different. Once ascension is cultivated, the ascension power will conflict with the true Qi, and ultimately, either the ascension power will consume the true Qi, or the true Qi will consume the ascension power.


    But why didn''t Mi Xiaojing''s ascension power dissipate, and the true Qi still existed? What kind of monster was this? He couldn''t understand it at all. If ascension and cultivation could be carried out at the same time, the world would have been in chaos long ago. But why could Mi Xiaojing do it?


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand at all. He didn''t know that ascension and cultivation couldn''t be carried out at the same time. Once he discovered that he also had true Qi, his curiosity expanded. He followed the breathing technique step by step and began to cultivate.


    In a moment, Mi Xiaojing''s true Qi had surrounded his meridians and smoothly returned to his Dan Tian. After rotating like this for a week, he had already broken through to the mid-stage of breathing cultivation. The speed was so fast that even Wang Weijun in the Mantra Banner was stunned.


    Mi Xiaojing muttered, "It''s so strange. Why is cultivation...so easy?"


    Wang Weijun felt like he was going to spit blood. When was cultivation ever easy? Back then, when he was cultivating, it took a whole month from the breathing technique to finally incorporating spiritual Qi and cultivating the first true Qi, which then entered the early stage of breathing cultivation.


    It took Wang Weijun half a year to go from the early stage to the mid-stage of breathing cultivation, while Mi Xiaojing had arrived with just one rotation of true Qi. It was really maddening.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t hesitate and sat down seriously to begin cultivating. True Qi began to circte rapidly in his body.


    When Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes again, he had reached thete stage of breathing cultivation, just one step away from achieving the Great Perfection of breathing cultivation.


    Wang Weijun felt pitifully helpless as he felt Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level rise at a rapid pace. He waspletely speechless. In less than a day, a person who had never had a trace of true Qi had cultivated to thete stage of breathing cultivation. Back then, he could be considered a cultivation genius, but it took him three whole years to reach thete stage of breathing cultivation. The two of them were simply iparable.


    The breathing technique was almost a magical technique that all cultivators must practice. Once they entered the breathing cultivation stage, they could actually practice other magical techniques. However, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have any other magical techniques, so he just followed the breathing technique to cultivate. In just one day, he almost reached the Great Perfection of breathing cultivation.


    However, Mi Xiaojing felt that it was almost enough. He naturally knew the principle of "haste makes waste". He stretchedzily and took a deep breath. He finally woke uppletely and couldn''t help but smile bitterly. He had actually cultivated without realizing it.


    "Xiao Mi, I''m hungry..."


    Mi Xiaojing then realized that the sky had already darkened. He had actually been cultivating for a whole day. He touched Luo Bo''s big head and felt a bit guilty. "Don''t worry, I''ll cook for us."


    He cooked some rice and stir-fried some wild vegetables. The two brothers ate heartily, cleaned up the dishes and then Mi Xiaojing finally opened the big package.


    There were four sets of fine cloth clothing, pure white in color, four green belts, two pairs of ck cloth shoes, two blue printed cloth strips, two face towels, and a thin quilt, all brand new without a single patch.Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo both froze, they had never seen so many new things in their entire lives. After a while, Mi Xiaojing let out a sigh, "Cultivation sect...they are really wealthy..." Even the supplies for ordinary people within the sect already made him feel luxurious, he couldn''t imagine how rich and prosperous the formal disciples of the sect would be.

 Chapter 26: The Great Perfection of Qi cultivation

    <h4>Chapter 26: The Great Perfection of Qi cultivation</h4>


    After dark, Mi Xiaojing arranged for Luo Bo to sleep, and then sat cross-legged on the kang and began to recite mantras.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing immediately noticed that the mantras were different from before. Although he was curious, he didn''t stop and continued to recite the mantras.


    The mantras unexpectedly merged with true qi, which meant that the evolutionary force and true qibined without conflict. The true qi was like a stream, while the condensed mantras were like small fish swimming freely in the stream. This strange phenomenonpletely dumbfounded Wang Weijun. He had no idea what was going on.


    Mi Xiaojing felt for the first time how wonderful cultivation was. The feeling of being like a fish in water made him feel that his strength was growing rapidly.


    After the mantras were nourished by true qi, their power increased significantly. When they brushed against the heart tower, they became more solid and firm, and the heart tower also grew slightly. The speed of his cultivation was much faster than before. He could see that the heart tower was about to reach the third level. Once it reached the third level, he could step into the first stage of the observation realm, which was equivalent to the foundation establishment period of a cultivator.


    ording to Mi Xiaojing''s own estimation, as long as he continued for a few more days, he could be promoted. So he was a little excited, but he still had to maintain a certain level of calm during cultivation.


    After a night of cultivation, the sky was slightly brightening. Mi Xiaojing stopped his cultivation and looked at the sleeping Luo Bo. He quietly went outside and followed a small path up to a cliff to the east. Sitting here to cultivate, he could absorb a trace of Qianyang purple qi.


    A momentter, the rising sun leaped from the horizon. Mi Xiaojing took a deep breath, and a stream of Qianyang purple qi fell into his spiritual energy. In an instant, this Qianyang purple qibined with true qi.


    A tremendous force caused the true qi to expand, and his bones made a continuous cracking sound, like a string of firecrackers. He inhaled three mouthfuls of Qianyang purple qi in session.


    Mi Xiaojing found that he had entered the realm of great perfection in qi cultivation, which was unexpected.


    In fact, in the world of cultivators, absorbing Qianyang purple qi was only possible for those who had reached a high level of cultivation, at least at the foundation establishment period. Mi Xiaojing had been able to do it since he was young, which was one of the reasons he could produce true qi smoothly.


    Wang Weijun was miserable because the Qianyang purple qi was directly intercepted by true qi, so the amount that could enter the Mantra Banner was much less. He was so frustrated that he wanted to cry.


    "No, I must think of another way. It''s too much of a disadvantage not being able tomunicate with the little guy."


    Wang Weijun was a high-level cultivator in his previous life, so under pressure, he began to think about how tomunicate with Mi Xiaojing. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a way to cultivate a magical technique that should allow him tomunicate with Mi Xiaojing.


    "Just three days, well, if I practice seriously, maybe just two days! Little guy, I''ll definitely fool you well!"


    Wang Weijun gritted his teeth. Since he entered Mi Xiaojing''s body, he had been so suffocated. He finally found a way, although he didn''t know how effective it would be, he was full of hope.


    Regardless of what Wang Weijun was up to, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know anything. He only knew that not only had he reached the realm of great perfection in qi cultivation, but his evolutionary immortality had also advanced a lot. It seemed that after cultivating, the speed of his evolutionary immortality had also increased, which made him very satisfied.Returning to the room, Mi Xiaojing washed up by the creek in the small courtyard before returning to the house. Luo Bo was still sleeping.


    Mi Xiaojing picked up the book that recorded the spirit herbs and medicines. The book was thick and the pages were specially processed. Every spirit herb was vividly depicted, and with a little bit of contemtion, one could observe it from all angles. This required a bit of true qi. If an ordinary person looked at it, they could only see a t image, but cultivators could see it in three dimensions.


    Moreover, cultivators could use a bit of true qi to directly imprint the properties and characteristics of the herbs into their minds. After a few times, they would not forget. Ordinary people could only rely on their memory and repeated studying and recitation to remember, and they would still forget some of it after a period of time.


    Therefore, for cultivators, this book was extremely easy to remember, but for ordinary people, it was very difficult. However, Mi Xiaojing was different. He was from the Evolutionary Immortality lineage and had a natural affinity for words and images. Any text was like a weapon to him, a tool for cultivation.


    In one day, Mi Xiaojingpletely memorized the thick book and even had his own thoughts on it.


    In the evening, Mi Xiaojing took some time to teach Luo Bo how to read. He used the Qi Refining Technique as the model, not intending for Luo Bo to cultivate, but to help him recognize more characters.


    He taught one character at a time and put the ones Luo Bo recognized aside. He taught ten characters at a time, and soon Luo Bo recognized the first paragraph and tried to draw it on the ground with a stick.


    Luo Bo was very serious about learning. He knew that only by studying hard could he have the opportunity to live a good life. Moreover, he trusted Mi Xiaojingpletely. As long as Mi Xiaojing gave him something to do, he would do his best toplete it.


    The next day, as soon as it was light, Mi Xiaojing went to the cliff and absorbed three breaths of Qianyang Purple Qi before washing up by the creek, putting on new clothes, tying his belt, and hanging his identity badge. He then quickly walked towards Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    The small path in the morning was covered in a thinyer of mist, but fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had a good memory and didn''t get lost. He soon arrived at the que of Grass-Benevolence Hall and felt the sharp killing intent emanating from the three characters.


    He went around the que and arrived at the courtyard, where many servants were already busy. Everyone looked at him when he entered. They knew that Mi Xiaojing was different and had a much higher status than them. The person who invited Mi Xiaojingst time had already told them about his experience, so no one dared to provoke him.


    Mi Xiaojing walked along the small path and entered the side door of the courtyard. The small courtyard was very quiet, and all the room doors were closed. Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to do and just stood there in the courtyard.


    He didn''t know who to call, but since he was already there, they shouldn''t make things difficult for him.

 Chapter 27: Pill Room

    <h4>Chapter 27: Pill Room</h4>


    After waiting for half an hour, Mi Xiaojing had been silently reciting mantras to himself. Although this kind of cultivation was done in his mind, the effect was not bad, and he appeared calm and patient.


    With a creaking sound, Mi Xiaojing saw Mu Xiaoyin walk out with sleepy eyes. She stretched deeply, her hand still raised above her head. She saw Mi Xiaojing standing there silently and let out a startled cry.


    "Ah! You scared me standing there so quietly..."


    "No one was around, so I had to wait in the courtyard..."


    Mi Xiaojing was a bit confused. Wasn''t she too timid? It was daytime after all.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "You fool, why didn''t you knock?...Forget it, let''s go inside and sit. I''ll go freshen up."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "I''ll just wait in the courtyard." He didn''t want to go into the little girl''s room.


    "Suit yourself..."


    Mu Xiaoyin turned and ran out. Ten minutester, she hurried back in, already dressed and ready.


    After changing her clothes, Mu Xiaoyin said, "Follow me to see Old Chen! Oh, and you can''t call him Old Chen, or you''ll be beaten to death. You have to call him Master..."


    As they hurried out, Mu Xiaoyin gave instructions to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing silently followed along. He had a deep hatred for the Heart Sect, but he knew he couldn''t show it. If the other side noticed, he would surely be killed. He also knew that as long as he disguised himself well, the other side would not pay attention to him.


    For a cultivation sect that couldpletely destroy the Western Expansion Sect, they really didn''t take Mi Xiaojing seriously. Otherwise, they would have killed them all instead of capturing them.


    Leaving the courtyard, they walked along a winding mountain road and soon arrived at a huge cave under a cliff. Two disciples of the Heart Sect were standing at the entrance, both outer disciples in the Qi refining stage.


    The two disciples only nced at Mu Xiaoyin and then ignored her. Obviously, they knew her, but neither of them spoke. They just looked at her indifferently. Mu Xiaoyin didn''t say anything either. Instead, she led Mi Xiaojing straight into the cave.


    This was a natural cave that had been arranged by magic spells. It was spacious and tall, with eight huge stone pirs, each carved with countless patterns. These were formation spirit patterns. Once activated, a killing formation would be formed here to prevent strangers from entering.


    The alchemy room was usually heavily guarded by formations, and the pill room was always a ce of strict defense for the sect.


    However, the formation was not activated today, so Mi Xiaojing was able to follow Mu Xiaoyin in without any trouble.The surroundings soon became dim, and as they went deeper, formations used for lighting were activated above the passageway. Once someone passed by, these formations would automatically close, so everything around them was still clearly visible.


    Mi Xiaojing had already felt a surge of heat surging in the passageway, and as they went deeper, it became hotter and hotter.


    Mu Xiaoyin nced at him and exined, "There is geothermal energy here. After being transformed by the Immortal Master, it has be the best alchemy location in our Heart Sect. Only Pill Masters are qualified to have a Pill Room here. Other students who study alchemy can only rent a Pill Room temporarily, and the price is very expensive."


    Mi Xiaojing remained silent.


    "He''s just a little mute. He looks good, but he''s a closed book!"


    Mu Xiaoyin was unhappy with Mi Xiaojing''s silence.


    They saw many cultivators along the way, but they only nced at them and pretended not to see them.


    It was known that even ordinary people under Chen Shouyi''smand were not willing to offend other cultivators. Chen Shouyi was the most powerful Pill Master in the Heart Sect. No one was so foolish as to offend a master for the sake of an ordinary person. Of course, they couldn''t even tter an ordinary person.


    The air became hotter and hotter. Suddenly, a halo flickered on the jade pendant hanging from Mu Xiaoyin''s neck, and in an instant, her body was enveloped in a misty light. Even Mi Xiaojing next to her could feel a chill.


    Mi Xiaojing was not concerned about this heat. After all, he had already reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi cultivation. Even without it, the power of the Evolutionary Immortality''s True Words could protect his body. So he followed along as if nothing had happened.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s eyes shed with surprise. She knew that ordinary people would find it difficult to resist the heat when they reached this point. Curious, she said nothing and continued to walk forward quickly.


    Then, the two of them entered a huge stone hall, where there was a huge Pill Furnace that was eight meters high and three meters in diameter. Its shape was very strange, like arge gourd standing on the ground.


    The bottom was shimmering with dazzling red radiance, and it emitted a roaring sound that was heart-pounding and frightening.


    An old man stood in front of the Pill Furnace, constantly performing magical techniques. Every time he did so, there was a loud noise and the spiritual lines on the Pill Furnace quickly flickered.


    Within ten meters of the Pill Furnace, there was a red light that was full of heat, and the hot breath rolled in the prohibition. The old man stood nonchntly in the red radiance. At this time, no one dared to approach him. Several people stood on the surrounding walls, and each of them had ayer of green light protecting their bodies.


    If ordinary people did not have special protection, they would die as soon as they entered this ce due to the heat. Cultivators had to reach the initial stage of Qi cultivation in order to barely resist it.But Mi Xiaojing stood there as if nothing was happening, and there was no sweat or fear in sight, as if hepletely ignored the scorching heat around him.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that this old man should be Chen Lao, the master alchemist Chen Shouyi.


    His feeling towards Chen Shouyi was that this person was very terrifying, and his strength was absolutely unfathomable. Only Wang Weijun in the Mantra Banner was grinning, and with his previous strength, he could easily p such a small character to death.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Spiritual runes exploded on the pill furnace, and every time they exploded, the entire stone hall would shake. Spiritual runes also asionally shed on the stone walls, which were used to reinforce the entire stone hall formation.


    A vague fluctuation came out of Chen Shouyi''s mouth, and the sound was very strange, outsiders could not understand it at all.


    Mi Xiaojing''s spirit was suddenly lifted, and he listened carefully. In fact, this was his first time encountering an incantation. This kind of incantation was used in conjunction with magical techniques to activate various formations, and the pill furnace was a collection of various formations, which had to be activated by incantations and magical techniques.


    Fluctuations, various fluctuations, somewhat simr to mantras, but mantras were very clear, while incantations were very vague.


    Suddenly, Chen Shouyi shouted, "Come!"


    A disciple with a red face and a fearful expression on his face ran over with a jade box in his hand, his footsteps stumbling.


    When he reached a distance of less than one meter from the restriction, he tried to turn his body, holding the jade box with one hand and raising it high, while also squatting down.


    Chen Shouyi reached out his hand and grabbed it, and in an instant, the restriction opened a gap and the jade box flew into Chen Shouyi''s hand like lightning, and the restriction gap closed immediately.


    The following scenepletely stunned Mi Xiaojing.

 Chapter 28: Pill boy

    <h4>Chapter 28: Pill boy</h4>


    Ah!


    After being hit by a huge heat wave, the ordinary person let out a scream of misery and rolled towards the stone wall.


    Mi Xiaojing saw it very clearly. When the prohibition formation cracked open, the heat around the pill furnace was like having an outlet, directly rushing out. However, the jade pendant on the ordinary servant''s body could notpletely protect him and he was burned by the high heat. He couldn''t resist it.


    In an instant,rge blisters appeared on the man''s face and arms, his skin quickly reddened and swelled, and soon his face swelled up like a steamed bun.


    A person next to him quickly took out a jade box and handed it to the guy who was still screaming. The man quickly applied the ointment in the jade box to his skin. A magical scene appeared. Although Mi Xiaojing was standing far away, his eyes were sharp and he could see clearly that the man''s skin quickly subsided, and the screaming stopped, but he still made a humming sound in his mouth.


    Then Chen Shouyi shouted again, "Next!"


    One by one, everyone repeated this process without exception. Everyone screamed miserably. After one round, no one was spared. Fortunately, there was ointment in the jade box, otherwise these people would have been burned to death, even if their jade pendants couldn''t protect them.


    Mi Xiaojing also discovered a secret, that is, Mu Xiaoyin''s jade pendant was different. Her jade pendant was of much higher quality. She stood next to him, looking indifferent, and from her expression, she seemed to be used to it. She didn''t even frown.


    "Why don''t cultivators do this?"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but ask softly.


    Mu Xiaoyin shook her head and whispered, "I don''t know, don''t talk, just watch."


    In fact, every pill master has their own quirks. What Chen Shouyi did, others would not care about it at all. It should be noted that people have died from refining pills like this, and the ordinary people serving here basically have to be rotated every three years. If they stay too long, the heat poison will umte in their bodies and they will soon be finished.


    Even if it is a Qi refining cultivator, if they stay here for a long time, it will also affect their cultivation. Fire poison is something that can easily affect a person''s health.


    Mi Xiaojing had been carefully observing Chen Shouyi, and he noticed a detail, that is, Chen Shouyi was notpletely standing still. He moved his feet from time to time, and every time he moved, there were spiritual lines shing on the ground. After watching for a while, he suddenly realized that this was adjusting the earth fire. He used the formation arranged on the ground to adjust the size of the earth fire.


    It was very magical. Mi Xiaojing felt that his eyes had been opened wide. Evolutionary Immortality had rtively simple methods and didn''t have so many strange means, while cultivators not only had magical alchemy techniques, but also other strange methods that Evolutionary Immortality could notpare with.


    "It''s time to refine the pill!"


    Mu Xiaoyin said nervously. Her voice was small, but Mi Xiaojing heard it clearly. He suddenly became excited and focused his attention on Chen Shouyi. He was very curious, how would the pill be refined?


    Bang!


    With a loud noise, a shing white liquid sprayed out and was blocked by Chen Shouyi''s true qi, and it instantly hovered in the air.Chen Shouyi made a quick stroke, dividing the shing white medicine liquid into seven parts, each the size of a fist.


    Immediately, he cast one magical technique after another onto the medicine balls, and in an instant, there was a faint crackling sound. Each ball of medicine began to shrink rapidly and soon became a pill the size of a finger, and the sparkling white light gradually dissipated.


    Chen Shouyi took out a jade bottle and quickly put the pills inside.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that after Chen Shouyi finished collecting the pills, he took a big step back. In an instant, a spiritual rune lit up on the ground, and then the rumbling sound of the earth fire gradually disappeared. The red light under the pill furnace also gradually dimmed. He suddenly understood that this prohibition formation was probably used to shut down the earth fire.


    As the earth fire was shut down, the surroundings began to cool down. The ordinary people and servants by the stone wall seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and left one by one towards the passage. At the entrance of the passage, they all silently saluted Chen Shouyi and quickly left. As for Chen Shouyi, he didn''t even look at them.


    Soon, only Chen Shouyi, Mu Xiaoyin, and Mi Xiaojing were left in the stone hall.


    When Chen Shouyi walked out of the protective prohibition of the pill furnace, he finally nced at Mi Xiaojing and said, "Xiaoyin, is this the pill boy you brought?"


    Mi Xiaojing felt like it sounded like "egg pain," as he was extremely sensitive to words. He thought for a moment and realized that it should be "pill boy," not "egg pain." He almostughed but couldn''t because of the solemn atmosphere.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Old man, this is the pill boy that Guan brought. His name is Mi Xiaojing. Hey, go and meet the old man." She pointed to Chen Shouyi and said to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "Why is she so fierce?" He had seen Chen Shouyi''s alchemy and instinctively knew that this guy was powerful. But from the way Mu Xiaoyin spoke, she showed no respect. She was just an ordinary person, a standard ordinary person. How dare she speak like that?


    Mi Xiaojing also did not dare to be careless. People were easily killed here, and he did not want to be killed for no reason. But he couldn''t bow his head either. He said calmly, "Greetings, Master." And then he stopped talking.


    Chen Shouyi nced at Mi Xiaojing and couldn''t help but be surprised, "Huh? Great Perfection in Qi Refining...not an ordinary person!"


    Mu Xiaoyin was startled. She only now realized that Mi Xiaojing was a cultivator.


    Although Chen Shouyi was surprised, he did not continue to inquire. After all, he was brought by Guan and as long as he could be useful, it was enough. He was a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and a cultivator at the Great Perfection in Qi Refining was not even worth mentioning.


    Mu Xiaoyin was a little impatient and said, "He was brought by Guan. How would I know if he''s a cultivator or not?"


    Chen Shouyi seemed to dote on Mu Xiaoyin. Even if she spoke rudely, he did not mind. He said, "Okay, it''s not your fault. Let''s do this. Follow me from now on and be my pill boy...uh, the treatment will be the same as the outer disciples. You go and help arrange it."


    Mu Xiaoyin finally agreed and smiled.Although Mi Xiaojing felt inexplicable, he also knew that this time there was finally a specific task. In a sect, once there was a specific job, it meant that one could integrate into the sect. Of course, Mi Xiaojing''s hatred towards Heart Sect had not diminished at all.


    Chen Shouyi said, "Alright, you take him back and arrange everything. From now on, he will be on duty here."


    Mu Xiaoyin asked, "So he is my junior martial brother now?"


    Chen Shouyi helplessly replied, "Yes, he is your junior martial brother now. Take care of him."

 Chapter 29: Cave of the Spiritual Spring

    <h4>Chapter 29: Cave of the Spiritual Spring</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin''s face lit up with joy. She looked at Mi Xiaojing as if he were a new and interesting toy, making Mi Xiaojing feel uneasy.


    Mi Xiaojing wondered who Mu Xiaoyin was and why Chen Shouyi favored an ordinary person like her.


    Smack!


    Mu Xiaoyin patted Mi Xiaojing''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Little junior brother, you''re following me from now on. Call me senior sister and listen..." She was extremely proud to have a cultivator as her junior brother. It was really satisfying.


    Mi Xiaojing smiled inwardly, but he was also quite sinister. He nodded and said, "Yes, senior sister..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was overjoyed and said, "Let''s go! I''ll take you to the outer gate to register your identity. You''re not an ordinary person anymore. You can change your identity and enjoy the treatment of an outer disciple."


    Mi Xiaojing calmly said, "Yes, thank you, senior sister."


    Mu Xiaoyin turned around and said, "Old man, I''m taking junior brother with me..."


    Chen Shouyi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was actually his rtive and had been raised by him since she was very young. Although she couldn''t cultivate due to her poor aptitude, she had been spoiled by him over the years and had be uncontroble in front of him.


    Mu Xiaoyin took Mi Xiaojing out of the pill room, and they walked towards the outer gate. After about half an hour, Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that Mu Xiaoyin had excellent stamina. Although the road was difficult, she didn''t even break a sweat. She was just a mortal, after all.


    When they arrived at the outer gate, they entered a courtyard where there was a que with tworge characters: "Outer Gate."


    Mu Xiaoyin took Mi Xiaojing to a room and said, "Uncle Qiao, Uncle Qiao, I''m here!"


    A middle-aged man came out and smiled, "Oh, Xiaoyin, why do you have time toe here today?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said proudly, "Uncle Qiao, this is my junior brother. He''se to get his identity badge. And, the old man said he''s going to be his pill boy and enjoy the treatment of an outer disciple from now on."


    Uncle Qiao was immediately attracted to Mi Xiaojing. With just one nce, he eximed, "He''s at the great perfection stage of the Qi Refining Realm...wow, he can enter the inner gate. Whose disciple is he?"


    .


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Who cares whose disciple he is? He''s my junior brother now. Uncle Qiao, hurry up and get it done...Uncle Qiao!" She said in a coquettish tone.


    Uncle Qiao was a little scared. Although Mu Xiaoyin was just an ordinary mortal, she had the backing of a Foundation Establishment Ancestor. Uncle Qiao was only at the Foundation Building stage, so he didn''t want to offend her. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I''ll get someone to do it. Xiaoyin, don''t be in a hurry...hehe, don''t be in a hurry!"


    Two disciples were called in to help Mi Xiaojing get his identity badge. Since he was designated as Chen Shouyi''s pill boy, the badge was quickly processed without any trouble.


    The silver badge was reced with a gold one, with the words "Grass-Benevolence Hall" on the front and "Inner Gate" and "Pill Boy" on the back. This meant that Mi Xiaojing could enter the pill room at will.


    In the Sword Heart Sect, a gold badge meant having a formal status and not being a dispensable mortal. Mi Xiaojing had unknowingly joined the Sword Heart Sect, which was quite lucky.Even Wang Weijun couldn''t help but marvel in the Mantra Banner. This little bastard has good luck. Of course, he understood that once one had an official status in a sect, as long as they didn''t make mistakes, there wouldn''t be any life-threatening danger.


    The attire of low-level disciples in the Sword Heart Sect consisted of a green robe, a ck belt, and a gold namete. The green robe was made of satin, and the ck boots were made of deer skin. Low-level magical techniques for attack and defense could be hung on the ck belt. Therefore, in the Sword Heart Sect, as long as one was a low-level cultivator, it was easy to tell that they all wore green robes and ck belts. They were the foundation of the Sword Heart Sect, and thergest group of cultivators in the sect.


    Mi Xiaojing had already moved to a new residence: a wooden house near the cliff with a small hole on the cliff behind it. There was a tiny spiritual spring inside. This small courtyard was originally inhabited by a Foundation Establishment Period cultivator who had not returned for decades and was presumed dead by the sect.


    With Mu Xiaoyin''s help, Qiao Zhen reluctantly let Mi Xiaojing live in this small courtyard. It was rare for a low-level disciple to enjoy such treatment. With this spiritual spring, Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation would be greatly improved.


    The spiritual spring was not very useful for evolutionary immortals, but it was extremely useful for cultivators. Having a spiritual spring meant that there was a more abundant spiritual Qi, making cultivation much easier. Spiritual Qi could be converted into true Qi, and the more abundant the spiritual Qi, the more true Qi could be cultivated.


    When Mi Xiaojing was cultivating by the spiritual spring, he was fine, but Wang Weijun in the Mantra Banner was extremely excited. He was the one who needed arge amount of spiritual Qi.


    The first time Mi Xiaojing cultivated by the spiritual spring, Wang Weijun benefited greatly. Due to the speed at which spiritual Qi rushed in during his cultivation, Mi Xiaojing''s true Qi had increased significantly. He even felt a sense of fullness, as if his whole body was expanding.


    This spiritual spring only produced a thin stream of water, but because no one had cultivated by its side for a long time, the small cave was filled with thick spiritual Qi, making the first cultivation effect the best. Most of the spiritual Qi was absorbed by Wang Weijun, and it helped him to stabilize his Yuan Ying.


    Once Yuan Ying was stable, Wang Weijun began to cultivate a certain magical technique, because he needed to find a way tomunicate with Mi Xiaojing. If he was trapped in the Mantra Banner forever, he felt like he would go crazy.


    At night, Mi Xiaojing continued his evolutionary immortality cultivation. At this point, he had touched his first bottleneck: the Great Perfection of Qi Refinement. The process of transitioning from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment was a qualitative change, and the hardship was understood by cultivators. Currently, Mi Xiaojingcked a bit of means.


    There were genius cultivators who could forcefully advance with their own strength, but 99.9% of cultivators needed the help of Foundation Establishment Pills to have any hope of advancing. This was a major breakthrough, and the same was true for evolutionary immortality: from the Perception Stage to the Law Observation Stage, it was also a bottleneck and a major breakthrough that was not easy to ovee.

 Chapter 30: Low-level Cultivator

    <h4>Chapter 30: Low-level Cultivator</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing, due to his strong Evolutionary Immortality, progressed quickly in cultivation at the beginning, but was blocked by a bottleneck when he reached the Great Perfection, and currentlycks the knowledge in this area.


    After all, Mi Xiaojing is only ten years old and doesn''t understand many things. He is like a small sapling that is still struggling topete for sunlight and nutrients. The hardships he faces in the process of growth, whether in life or cultivation, are actually beneficial to him.


    The next day, Mi Xiaojing went to the Pill Room. It was not far from here, only half an hour''s mountain road away.


    Yesterday, when he was practicing, Mi Xiaojing had already made up his mind. Since he came, he would ept it. If his strength was not enough, then the Heart Sect would be his first sect to truly enhance his strength. As for the grudge of the Western Expansion Sect''s extermination, there will always be a chance to repay it. As an Evolutionary Immortal, he believes in karma.


    Whether he avenges himself or uses others to avenge him, Mi Xiaojing firmly believes that this karma will be settled. Before that, living well and improving his strength is the most important thing. Seeing his sect being destroyed, he made up his mind to be a saint in this life and never be threatened or oppressed by anyone.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the stone cave, a low-level cultivator blocked his way, but let him pass after seeing his golden badge.


    The two guards looked at Mi Xiaojing curiously as he entered the cave and disappeared into the passage.


    "Isn''t he an ordinary person? Why does he have the badge of our outer disciples?"


    "He should be a cultivator, and I can''t see his cultivation level..."


    "But he is Chen Ancestor''s pill boy... However, being Chen Ancestor''s pill boy is not easy, he might even lose his life, hehe..."


    "Stop talking, if the elders hear us, we will be punished."


    "Yes, I was just chatting casually... By the way, it seems that things are not peaceful recently. I heard that the mountain gate of the Spirit Crane Sect copsed and there was a volcanic eruption, and many disciples died..."


    "Where did you hear that?"


    "I have a fellow viger who is in the Spirit Crane Sect. He sent a message with a talisman bird."


    Mi Xiaojing did not hear their discussion and walked into the stone hall, which was Chen Shouyi''s Pill Room.


    "You''re here, little junior brother!"


    "Hello, senior sister."


    Both of them spoke softly.


    Since he nned to hide in the Heart Sect, Mi Xiaojing followed the customs. He now knows that although Mu Xiaoyin is an ordinary person, her status is not inferior to that of a low-level cultivator, and she is also very friendly to him. Calling her senior sister is quite willing.


    Mu Xiaoyin waved at him with a smile, and Mi Xiaojing came to her side. He also saw Chen Shouyi sitting on a red rush cushion about two or three meters away from the pill furnace, practicing with closed eyes. There was no one else around.


    Mu Xiaoyin whispered, "Wait here."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and didn''t say anything, standing aside and waiting.After about an hour or so, Chen Shouyi took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Mi Xiaojing felt Chen Shouyi''s gaze sweep over him like electricity, making him extremely uneasy. He knew that this was a kind of threat, a kind of oppression, the intimidation of a high-level cultivator to a low-level one.


    Mi Xiaojing''s heart chilled slightly, but he didn''t make any moves. He just stood calmly, without any expression on his face.


    Chen Shouyi nodded slightly and said, "Mi Xiaojing, you need to focus on learning alchemy in the recent period of time and master it as soon as possible. As my alchemy assistant, Xiaoyin will give you books on alchemy and medicine."


    "Yes!" Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to say another word. He believed that less talk, less mistake, more talk, more mistake. Not talking is the best way to deal with the people of the Heart Sect.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Okay, I''ll take Junior Brother with me!"


    Chen Shouyi said, "Before you go, tidy up the Pill Room and take the books. You can take one book at a time and exchange it after reading it."


    "Okay, we''ll tidy up," Mu Xiaoyin said. She took Mi Xiaojing to a stone wall and took down her identity badge. She shook it at a certain point on the wall, and a crack appeared.


    Mi Xiaojing then realized that there was a secret room here.


    The room was not big, with a pill furnace about one person high and a circle of bluestone tables around it, with many herbs and bottles and jars on top. There was also a bookshelf, but it was forbidden and had many books on it.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t expect that there was still a Pill Room here.


    After helping Mu Xiaoyin tidy up for a while, it didn''t take long before they finished. Then Mu Xiaoyin let Mi Xiaojing choose books.


    There were not many books on the bookshelf, and he had read two of them, which were given by Mu Xiaoyinst time. This time, there were new books, and he was excited. Mi Xiaojing had no resistance to textual and pictorial records. He loved reading books.


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing chose a book that recorded how to deal with spirit herbs, which was three fingers thick. He chose it probably because it was particrly thick, and he subconsciously believed that the thicker the book, the more words there were.


    Mu Xiaoyin looked at him strangely.


    Mi Xiaojing subconsciously said, "Did I choose the wrong book?"


    "It''s not wrong, it''s just too right. Strange, how did you know to choose this book?"


    Since he had chosen the right book, Mi Xiaojing didn''t say anything. He just smiled slightly. He couldn''t say that he chose this book because it was thick.


    ****************************


    Cangmin Star.


    The Heart Sect is located on this.


    About two thousand kilometers away from the Heart Sect, there is a deserted desert. A sword light shed, and a figure appeared in mid-air.


    He was the strongest expert of the Heart Sect, Yu Hong, thete Yuan Ying stage cultivator and the most powerful cultivator of the Heart Sect.


    "Strange, where did he go?"Yu Hong looks no different from a young man, but he is already two hundred years old. He wears a fiery red battle robe, a jade belt, and steps on a dark sword. He also carries a green gourd around his waist. His appearance is that of a young man, but his hair and beard are already snow-white.


    With a sh of Red Radiance, Yu Hong has already gone hundreds of meters away. He stares at a sand dune, and after a while, a hint of a mocking smile appears on his face.


    With a flick of his waist, Yu Hong now holds six small gs in his hand.


    These small gs are exquisitely made, deep red in color, with countless intricate fire spirit patterns on them. These are the Chi Fire Array gs. With a wave of his hand, the six small gs fly out and turn into six red radiance, which fall around the sand dune, forming a forbidden area of a square kilometer.


    With a magical technique, apanied by a wave of fluctuations, Yu Hong recites an incantation and instantly activates the prohibition array.


    The six g shadows suddenly rise from the desert, and as they rise, mes appear out of nowhere. Yu Hong shouts, "Clumsy!"


    With a loud bang, the temperature within the prohibition range begins to rise sharply, and the mes quickly connect to form arge sea of fire.


    Yu Hong sneers, "Hehe, I''d like to see you try to run now."

 Chapter 31: Tremble of the Demon Spirit

    <h4>Chapter 31: Tremble of the Demon Spirit</h4>


    The banner formation started, and the prohibition range was filled with raging mes. Yu Hong was suspended above the banner formation, staring down as if waiting for something. He had already taken off the green gourd at his waist.


    The spiritual lines on the gourd flickered, indicating that it was a magic tool.


    Boom!


    An extremely cold aura erupted, and in an instant, the mes in the center of the sea of fire werepletely extinguished. A ck shadow suddenly rushed out from below, and countless mes shot towards it, all attacksunched by the banner formation.


    Yu Hong said coldly, "Surrender, you can''t escape!"


    "Gaga... squeak..."


    The sound was like iron scraping against ss, sharp and ear-piercing, but it had no effect on Yu Hong, who was an old monster in thete Yuanying stage with extraordinary strength. This sound attack was useless against him.


    Countless ck shadows flickered and finally merged into one figure.


    Any cultivator would know that this thing was a demon spirit. The so-called demon spirit was the result of a cultivator''s Yuanying attempting to be a Loose Immortal but ultimately failing, only being able to transform into another form of existence that was neither human nor ghost.


    Demon spirits often retained many cultivation techniques and evolved into their own unique abilities. Some powerful demon spirits could even fight against cultivators in the Yuanying stage.


    Of course, the strength of this demon spirit was not enough, and it took Yu Hong a lot of effort to trap it. The battlested for dozens of days until they reached the desert.


    No demon spirit would willingly fall into the hands of cultivators. At that time, they would rather die together or have their souls disappear than be caught by cultivators, unless they encountered a true Great Power who they could not resist and could not even let themselves die, then they might be caught.


    Therefore, in the cultivation world, demon spirits have always been rare treasures, and Yu Hong also wanted to obtain one. He had gone through countless hardships and finally saw the possibility of catching a demon spirit.


    "As long as you surrender to me, don''t worry, I will treat you well... and even help you catch Yin ghosts and let you cultivate..."


    Before Yu Hong finished speaking, the demon spirit spat, "Pah! Even if I die, I won''t surrender!" He knew the situation of the cultivation world even as a demon spirit. Once he surrendered, he would lose everything, how could he bear it? Of course, he would rather die than surrender.


    Yu Hong secretly felt a headache. Killing a demon spirit was no problem with his cultivation level, but capturing it alive was really difficult. Even if his strength was higher, without overwhelming power, it would be unlikely to capture it alive. Although the demon spirit was trapped by the banner formation now, once it couldn''t hold on, it might self-destruct, and he would get nothing.


    "Don''t force me... don''t force me!"


    The mes burned, and the demon spirit was at its wits'' end. It was known that demon spirits were most afraid of mes. They liked damp and cold ces and preferred to be around extremely cold things. As for earth fire and mes, those were their natural enemies. They were born as Yin and cold beings.Yu Hong''s spirits lifted. He knew that the demon spirit had been cornered and continued to coax it: "As long as you surrender, I will stop attacking..."


    The demon spirit was engulfed in mes and howled, "I... I surrender... Stop, please stop..."


    Yu Hong''s face immediately showed an extremely excited expression. He decisively said, "Good!" and pointed his finger. The towering mes disappeared, revealing the battered demon spirit.


    Due to being burned by the mes, the demon spirit''s body was unstable, sometimes condensing into a solid form, sometimes dispersing into a ck shadow. After several cycles, it finallypletely solidified into a ck shadow.


    Yu Hong was not in a hurry. As long as the banner formation surrounded it, he believed that this demon spirit could not escape. Since it couldn''t escape, he had patience and hoped that the demon spirit would surrender to him willingly.


    For half a moment, the demon spirit did not make any sound. It just hung silently in mid-air. The shadows of the banner formation could be vaguely seen floating around it. Countless mes were faintly visible on the shadows, and the unique fluctuations of the banner formation made the air ripple.


    Yu Hong held a jade-like gourd with a flickering me pattern on it. Once the demon spirit surrendered, this would be the magic treasure that would restrain it.


    Suddenly, the demon spirit moved and threw out a round bead!


    The bead was not big, about the size of an egg, and was brightly red. It was actually a Qianyang Gang bead, which was extremely strange for a demon spirit to possess. To collect this kind of thing, a demon spirit must have an extremely yin and cold treasure to suppress it.


    Yu Hong was also surprised. He knew that the demon spirit wanted to keep these things, it must have another ck bead suppressed by an extremely yin and cold treasure. Sure enough, after the red bead was thrown, it threw out another ck bead.


    The two beads flew around the demon spirit.


    "I told you... don''t force me..." The demon spirit''s voice was full of despair and determination, with an attitude of preferring to die than to surrender.


    Yu Hong suddenly felt that something was wrong. Before he could activate the banner formation tounch another attack, the demon spirit screamed without hesitation, "Let''s all die together!"


    A red and a ck radiance collided with each other, and the collision of extreme yin and extreme yang meant something to Yu Hong. His face finally changed, bing pale. He didn''t even have time to curse and immediately left the banner formation, trying to use the magical technique to suppress it.


    Fortunately, Yu Hong was already in thete stage of the Yuan Ying realm. Although he was not at the Great Perfection level, he already had a short-range teleportation method. With this method, he managed to escape from the banner formation.


    The collision of extreme yin and extreme yang did not make a sound, and the two radiance mutually annihted each other. In an instant, the surroundings became dark.


    A huge force dragged Yu Hong. This force was so terrifying that even Yu Hong found it difficult to resist.


    Fortunately, the banner formation was fully activated, giving Yu Hong a chance to struggle.


    However, the banner formation onlysted for three breaths of time. In this short three breaths of time, Yu Hong managed to escape a kilometer away.


    Even so, at the moment the banner formation was destroyed, a huge force dragged him back, and with Yu Hong''s cultivation level, he couldn''t break free. He was almost dragged into it and was dragged for more than seven hundred meters before the force suddenly disappeared!


    Yu Hong spurted out a mouthful of blood. The sudden disappearance of the force immediately caused him to be seriously injured. Then a huge force suddenly spread out, hitting him. He was like a ball that had been hit and was shot out.


    This blow caused Yu Hong to fly out for several kilometers.

 Chapter 32: Spiritual Fruit Controversy

    <h4>Chapter 32: Spiritual Fruit Controversy</h4>


    After finally controlling his body, Yu Hong spewed out several mouthfuls of blood in a row. Not only was his body severely injured, but his Nascent Soul was also impacted by the attack. He waspletely wilted, and if it weren''t for several magic treasures continuously activating to resist the explosive power, this blow would have definitely taken half of Yu Hong''s life.


    He quickly took out a jade bottle and poured out three spirit pills, throwing them into his mouth. This barely suppressed his injuries and allowed him to remain suspended in mid-air.


    Suddenly, thunderous rumbling sounded from underground, causing a teeth-grinding cracking sound. The entire earth began to violently shake, and sand dunes copsed in the intense vibration, as if they were suddenly ttened by a giant hand.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a crack opened up in the earth, several hundred meters long and seven or eight meters wide. Countless fine sand poured down along the crack, raisingrge amounts of smoke and dust. Before the sand could fill the crack, there was another loud noise.


    Boom!


    A mushroom cloud rose up, followed by a spray of magma.


    Yu Hong suddenly realized that the explosion had directly triggered a volcanic eruption. He dared not stay any longer, immediately controlling his flying sword and fleeing into the distance.


    Yu Hong never imagined that capturing a demon spirit would cause such a disaster¡ªthe entire desert boiled over, the ground cracked like shattered ss, and in an instant, countless cracks spread across the ground... The desert immediately turned into a sea of fire, with magma spraying andva flowing, creating a scene of the apocalypse.


    Yu Hong didn''t look back, desperately driving his flying sword to escape. He couldn''t help but curse in his heart. Not only did the operationpletely fail, but he also suffered from extremely serious injuries and had to return to the sect to recuperate.


    **********************


    Mi Xiaojing had just finished practicing by the spirit spring. He held a book and was reading it carefully. He had an extremely passionate love for books and believed that having a book was happiness.


    This book recorded how to excavate spirit grass, how to process it, and how to prepare for alchemy, all of which were topics that Mi Xiaojing had never encountered before.


    Just as he was engrossed in reading, Mu Xiaoyin entered the courtyard and called out loudly, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother! Are you here?"


    Mi Xiaojing sighed and put away the book before walking out of the house and asking, "Senior Sister, what''s the matter?"


    Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "Can''t Ie find you if there''s nothing wrong?"


    Mi Xiaojing saw that she was carrying a bamboo basket and immediately changed the subject, asking, "What''s in there?"


    The basket was covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn''t see what was inside.


    Mu Xiaoyin proudly said, "I brought some spirit fruits. Hehe, there are many delicious ones among the collected spirit medicines this time, so I brought some for you to taste. Junior Brother, Senior Sister is good to you!" She boasted.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know why Mu Xiaoyin was friendly to him, so he just thanked her casually.Mu Xiaoyin rolled her eyes and said, "No sincerity! Alright, senior sister won''t argue with you. Come and eat."


    Opening the covered basket, there were six fruits inside, brightly colored and red. Mi Xiaojing recognized them at a nce as Chi Zhu Fruit, a kind of spirit medicine. Spirit medicines could be eaten directly and had miraculous effects. Of course, they could also be used for alchemy. Most spirit nts needed to undergoplex processing before they could be refined into pills and consumed.


    Chi Zhu Fruit was a kind of spirit medicine used to refine the Pei Yuan Pill. Of course, it could also be eaten directly, but its effect on cultivating essence and qi would be greatly reduced.


    "Someone stole the spirit fruit..."


    Two low-level cultivators walked in from outside.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s face changed immediately.


    These two low-level cultivators were Hong Qing''s disciples. Hong Qing was a pill master at the Grass-Benevolence Hall and had always been in a secret rivalry with Chen Laoming. His disciples had also been unfriendly to Chen''s disciples, but they didn''t dare to openly bully them because Chen had a high position in the sect and was the only grandmaster-level alchemist in the sect.


    Chen Zhong was Hong Qing''s disciple, in the middle stage of refining qi, and quite domineering. The cultivator next to him was his junior brother, named Chen Er Gou, and also his cousin, in the early stage of refining qi.


    Their aptitude for cultivation was good, and they were considered to be Hong Qing''s favored disciples.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s face changed when she saw the two of theme in. Although Chen Shouyi doted on her, she was still an ordinary mortal and had a natural fear of cultivators.


    "What do you want?"


    Chen Zhong had a long horse face, with a chin that protruded like a shovel. He was very ugly when he smiled, but he didn''t know how ugly he was. He smiled maliciously and said, "Don''t say I''m bullying you. Since you dare to steal spirit fruit, I''ll confiscate it..."


    He didn''t dare to let Chen Shouyi beat Mu Xiaoyin, but he dared to snatch the spirit fruit.


    Chen Er Gou fawned beside him and said, "That''s right! That''s right! Dare to steal spirit fruit, confiscate it! Confiscate it!" As he spoke, saliva dripped from his mouth.


    Mu Xiaoyin protected the basket and took a step back. It was clear that she was afraid.


    Mi Xiaojing stepped forward and blocked the two of them. No matter what, Mu Xiaoyin was the only person in the Heart Sect who was friendly to him. ording to his temperament, he wouldn''t just stand by and watch.


    Chen Zhong stared at Mi Xiaojing for a while, then suddenlyughed. "So you''re a remnant of the Western Expansion Sect... Haha, you''ve changed your identity and be a pill boy. Kid, get out of the way, it''s none of your business!" He couldn''t gauge Mi Xiaojing''s strength, so he didn''t dare to go too far. Of course, as an outer disciple of the Heart Sect, he felt that oppressing Mi Xiaojing waspletely eptable.


    If it weren''t for Chen Zhong''s words, Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t have been emotional, but when he heard the words "remnant of the Western Expansion Sect," his eyes turned red."Get lost!" Mi Xiaojing didn''t bother to say more, he just spat out a word, a Spirit Script.


    Before the Spirit Scriptnded, Chen Zhong felt like he was hit by a giant hammer on his head, and his whole body went numb. Even Chen Ergou, who was standing beside him, was affected. Their faces turned red, then blue, and their bodies were shaking.


    When they regained some consciousness, Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou were shocked. What kind of attack was this? Just a shout made it unbearable.


    "You! You...you..." Chen Zhong pointed at Mi Xiaojing as if he had seen a ghost.


    Chen Ergou kept retreating. He was only in the Qi Refining stage, and although the attack was not directed at him, he was more injured than Chen Zhong. His legs were weak.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to stare at Chen Zhong. "Get lost!"


    Chen Zhong sat on the ground. Both attacks were Spirit Script attacks. In other words, Mi Xiaojingunched two attacks with the realm of Great Perfection in Qi Refining, although he used Evolutionary Immortality means, the opponent still couldn''t bear it.


    Sitting on the ground, Chen Zhong knew it was not good, but he dared not stay any longer. He crawled and rolled towards the gate, looking quite embarrassed.


    "You, wait...I will find you...kid, how dare you be so arrogant, I won''t let you go..."


    Although he was defeated, he continued to talk tough. The two of them crawled to the gate, and Chen Zhong threatened while jumping.


    Mi Xiaojing took a step forward. He actually wanted to use a two-word Spirit Script attack, but he was really not proficient.


    Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou saw Mi Xiaojing take a step forward outside the gate, and they were so scared that they turned and ran away.

 Chapter 33: Teach

    <h4>Chapter 33: Teach</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin was dumbfounded as she watched the two men run away in fear. She didn''t understand why Mi Xiaojing shouted "get lost" and they ran away without a fight.


    But this didn''t stop Mu Xiaoyin from cheering and pping her hands. "Junior Brother is amazing... so amazing!" Her anger dissipated instantly.


    Chen Zhong and Chen Er Gou stumbled out and copsed at the bamboo pavilion at the intersection. Chen Zhong held his head, feeling dizzy and disoriented, while Chen Er Gou gasped for air. "What kind of attack was that... I feel terrible... urgh..." He vomited all over Chen Zhong.


    Chen Zhong was furious and wiped Chen Er Gou''s clothes while scolding him. "You bastard! Do you want to die? You stink... urgh!"


    But before he could finish, Chen Zhong also vomited and sprayed Chen Er Gou.


    After struggling for a while, the two finally regained their senses. Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "I won''t spare him!"


    Chen Er Gou nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes!"


    Chen Zhong said, "Let''s go and discuss it. Even if we can''t kill him, we''ll make him suffer!" The two supported each other and left while cursing.


    Meanwhile, Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, and Luo Bo were happily eating the red Zhu fruit in the room.


    There were only six of them, and Luo Bo only ate one. It wasn''t that he wasn''t allowed to eat more, but his body couldn''t handle the spiritual qi in the fruit.


    Mu Xiaoyin ate two and didn''t dare to eat more. The remaining three were all eaten by Mi Xiaojing.


    The fruit couldn''t be stored for too long, either it had to be processed as alchemy material or eaten quickly, otherwise it would quickly wither.


    Mu Xiaoyin was a little worried and said, "Junior Brother, be careful of those two in the future. They are so bad..."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded. After this incident, he recognized Mu Xiaoyin as his senior sister, even though she was just an ordinary mortal.


    "Sister, why don''t you cultivate?"


    "Ah, I can''t absorb spiritual qi. I can''t even take the first step..." Mu Xiaoyin was clearly frustrated. "The old man tried many methods, but I just can''t absorb spiritual qi. Without spiritual qi, I can''t cultivate... By the way, Junior Brother, why did you scare them away with just two words?"


    She couldn''t understand the methods of evolutionary immortality.


    Mi Xiaojing had an idea. If Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t cultivate, maybe she could ascend. He didn''t know if it would work or not.


    "Sister, do you want to learn... a method that can defeat the enemy with just one word?"


    "Sure, Junior Brother, teach me!"


    Mu Xiaoyin was still a child. In the cultivation world, people in their teens were still considered minors, and she didn''t understand the mysteries of cultivation. Mi Xiaojing found it amusing that he, who was originally an ascender, was teaching her, a cultivator, the true words.


    "Okay, I''ll teach you..."Luo Bo said, "Xiao Mi gege, I want to cultivate..." He had no interest in Evolutionary Immortality, but after witnessing the Western Expansion Sect''s destruction, he was envious of the cultivators''bat techniques, so he asked to cultivate without hesitation.


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment. In fact, he had wanted Luo Bo to cultivate for a long time, but Evolutionary Immortality required literacy before cultivation. Since Luo Bo wanted to cultivate, they didn''t need to consider Evolutionary Immortality. The conditions here were excellent, and with the help of spiritual springs, he believed it would be a great help to Luo Bo.


    Mi Xiaojing was also in a good mood and began to teach the two of them.


    ***************************


    Heart Sect.


    Yu Hong sat on a rush cushion in the main hall of the main peak, coughing from time to time. Due to the severe injuries he suffered when escaping from the desert, even though he had returned to the sect, his injuries had not improved and were even showing signs of deterioration.


    Four people sat in the hall, all of them the highest level of the Heart Sect, each of them ate-stage Yuan Ying ancestor.


    The sect leader of the Heart Sect, Mo Chentian, sat with a gloomy expression. On his left was the sect''s grand elder, Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, a mid-stage Yuan Ying expert, a beautiful woman who liked to wear white clothes and had a cold face. On his right was an old man with a skinny figure and a simrly gloomy face, the other grand elder of the sect, Mu Hengyuan, a mid-stage Yuan Ying expert.


    These fourte-stage Yuan Ying experts were the top-level members of the sect. All matters of the Heart Sect were decided by these four people. Among them, Yu Hong had the highest status because he was ate-stage Yuan Ying expert, while the sect leader Mo Chentian had the lowest status, as he was only a mid-stage Yuan Ying expert.


    Mo Chentian said, "Senior Brother Yu, ording to what you said, the Vast Gold Sect is finished... Will they me us?"


    Yu Hong sighed and coughed a few times before saying, "Originally, they wouldn''t, but I went to the Vast Gold Sect to capture a demonic spirit before. They might suspect me, but there is no obvious evidence."


    Mu Hengyuan said, "The entire Vast Gold Sect was destroyed by the volcanic magma. Their grand elder has already issued a statement that regardless of who did it, the Vast Gold Sect will never give up until the culprit is found. Although they don''t know who did it yet, it is a great threat to our Heart Sect. Shouldn''t we take the initiative andpletely destroy them?"


    "Cough, cough... don''t be hasty. This matter needs to be rified, and it''s impossible to do so in just a few years. I also know their grand elder. His strength is not much different from mine, and he is also ate-stage Yuan Ying expert. It''s just that... cough, my injuries are too severe. I need to avoid trouble for now and wait until I recover. Then I won''t be afraid of them."


    Mo Chentian smiled bitterly and said, "It''s not Senior Brother Yu''s fault. Who knew that demonic spirit would be so stubborn and would rather die than submit? Ah, let''s talk about thister. The most important thing now is to help Senior Brother Yu recover as soon as possible. The sect needs to work together and refine healing pills quickly."


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "We have the mountain gate and the mountain protection formation. Even if they know, what can they do? A group of cultivators without a mountain gate is like a group of stray dogs! There''s no need to be afraid of them!"The words were spoken with great vigor, and the other several Nascent Soul old monsters all showed a slight smile.


    Yu Hong was gratified and said, "Junior Sister sees through it. Anyway, they are all a group of losers... Haha, cough... cough... cough..." He spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression slightly eased. After taking a Spirit Pill, he felt very depressed. The injury had already prated his Nascent Soul, and to cure it, he needed a specific Spirit Pill.


    The Loss and Gain Pill!


    Yu Hong knew that only the Loss and Gain Pill was the specific Spirit Pill for his injury, but who could refine this pill?

 Chapter 34: Sword Array Start

    <h4>Chapter 34: Sword Array Start</h4>


    The most powerful alchemist in the Sword Heart Sect was Chen Shouyi. The other three Nascent Soul masters present were only alchemists. Mu Chentian, the Sect Leader, was adept at formation and talismans. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was skilled in scheming and deduction. Yu Hong was skilled in refining tools. Mu Hengyuan was knowledgeable in all areas but not proficient in any, like a jack-of-all-trades. Chen Shouyi was the best alchemist in the Sword Heart Sect, despite only being a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, it was too difficult for him to refine pills for Nascent Soul cultivators. Even as a master alchemist, he was one realm short of being able to do so.


    Yu Hong coughed and said, "Mu Junior Brother,e and refine the Profit and Loss Pill."


    Mu Hengyuan replied helplessly, "The sess rate is too low, and we don''t have enough spirit herbs in reserve for Nascent Soul pills. Let Chen Shouyi refine the pills, and I''ll assist him. There might be a glimmer of hope."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "It''s difficult! The difference in realms is not easy to make up for, but we must try. If all else fails, I''ll go to the Tianyuan Market and see if I can find the Profit and Loss Pill."


    Mu Hengyuan said, "We need to strengthen the power of the Grass-Benevolence Hall and unearth more high-level alchemists. This is a lesson for us. If we had a Nascent Soul alchemist, the problem would have been solved long ago, and we wouldn''t have to close the mountain gate."


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian said, "Alright, I order the closure of the Sect and the activation of the protective sword formation to prepare for the worst."


    Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan nodded.


    Yu Hong said, "This is good. Close the mountain gate and find an excuse for the Sword Heart Sect to go into seclusion. No visitors will be allowed. This will buy us some time."


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian stood up.


    "That''s the n. First, close the mountain gate, then seek the Profit and Loss Pill. Regardless, we must protect the Sect, and Yu Senior Brother''s pill is also important. We can''t afford to lose either. Let''s act immediately."


    When the rm bell for the mountain gate closure rang, all the disciples of the Sword Heart Sect were shocked. The bell had not rung for decades, and when it did, it meant something big had happened.


    The rm bell rang.


    "Something''s wrong!"


    "What''s that sound?"


    "It''s the rm bell of the Sword Heart Sect. Once it rings, the mountain gate will be closed! "


    Mu Xiaoyin said nervously.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know the rules of the Sword Heart Sect. When he was in the Western Evolutionary Sect, there wasn''t much to it. When the Western Expansion Sect was attacked, there were no protective formations, and the attackers entered without being detected. The difference in defensive capabilities was like night and day, and it was no wonder that the Western Expansion Sect was destroyed.


    "What should we do?"


    "It''s none of our business. However, once the mountain gate is closed, the outer areas will be abandoned. Only the mountain with its nine peaks in the Sect is safe. Other ces can be destroyed by enemies at any time..."


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly remembered that many people from the Western Expansion Sect were taken to the outer areas, and only a few stayed in the Sword Heart Sect''s mountain with its nine peaks. Among them was his junior brother Zhang Ke.


    When Zhang Ke and another person were taken to the pill refining room, Mi Xiaojing knew that the room belonged to the Grass-Benevolence Hall, but he did not see Zhang Ke or the other person when he visited the hall.


    Even if the Sword Heart Sect was in chaos or destroyed, Mi Xiaojing would only be happy, not sad. If the Sword Heart Sect was destroyed, he would only think it was retribution, and would not have any other regrets.Mi Xiaojing knew that he couldn''t change any situation, whether good or bad. He could only endure it and stay in this ce, slowly increasing his strength. That was his ultimate goal.


    Then, Mi Xiaojing witnessed a scene that he would never forget in his lifetime.


    On the mountain where the sect''s main hall was located, a yellow pir of light rose up into the sky, surrounded by nine towering peaks. Nine huge sword shadows rose up from each peak.


    The sword shadow that rose up from Qingmu Peak, where Mi Xiaojing was, was green. He felt the spiritual qi around his body rush into the sword shadow like a riot, and in an instant, the surrounding spiritual qi disappeared.


    Nine sword shadows and one pir of light.


    This scenested for seven or eight seconds, followed by a loud thunderous sound. The nine sword shadows suddenly turned into countless virtual swords several meters long and quickly moved in the air. In a moment, the sky was filled with swords.


    Brilliant rays of light were dazzling, and Mi Xiaojing had to squint his eyes. The sound of wind and thunder was deafening, and the sword light was like a rainbow of seven colors, making people dizzy. The huge sword formation brought a strong pressure, making even cultivators feel insignificant.


    The first thing Mi Xiaojing felt was fear, followed by a sense of insignificance. Under the envelopment of the sword formation, he felt a sense of fear that he had nowhere to escape. He knew that this was just the formation opening, and it wasn''t even aimed at him yet. "What a terrifying sword formation..."


    "It''s not that bad!" Mu Xiaoyin, who was not a cultivator, didn''t feel much threat. The only thing she felt was the beauty of the sword light cutting across the sky, which was colorful and magnificent.


    After the noisy sky calmed down, the blue sky and white clouds were still the same as usual, but Mi Xiaojing knew that once the mountain guarding formation was activated, the entire sky and ground would be sealed off, and no cultivator would be able to fly in. Once the formation was triggered, the entire formation''s attack would be unleashed.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t imagine who could withstand such an attack.


    Mu Xiaoyin hurriedly left because she knew that Chen Shouyi would look for her. She was in charge of Chen Shouyi''s daily life, and she couldn''t leave if something happened.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to the cave where he lived and used a talisman to seal the entrance to prevent the spiritual qi of the spiritual spring from dissipating. The sword formation had just started and had already sucked all the spiritual qi from the mountain, which meant that most of the ces where one could cultivate on the mountain were near the spiritual spring. The spiritual qi in other ces was already extremely thin and would take a long time to recover.


    He got the talisman from Mu Xiaoyin, and it was a very simple sealing talisman.


    Mi Xiaojing went to the spiritual spring, where Luo Bo was still cultivating. Since he started cultivating, he had entered the Qi Condensation stage in a few days. Coupled with the benefits he received from eating a Scarlet Zhu Fruit at the beginning of his cultivation, his progress was much faster.


    Since the spiritual qi in his body had not dissipated, it was easy for him to enter the Qi Condensation stage. Once he sessfully condensed his qi, it would be easy for him to enter the world of cultivation. These days, he had sessfully transformed his spiritual qi into true qi. In fact, Mu Xiaoyin was stuck at this stage and couldn''t even enter the world of cultivation.


    Luo Bo was already at the threshold, and as long as he persisted for one day, he could enter the Foundation Building stage.

 Chapter 35: Clash

    <h4>Chapter 35: sh</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t disturb him, casually grabbed a rush cushion and sat on it, starting to cultivate, this time it was Ascension.


    Silently reciting the mantra, he manipted the Evolutionary Immortality beads in his hand, and with each maniption, a bit of golden light entered them.


    Currently, he was cultivating the two-character mantra, but he wasn''t quite proficient yet. Every time he recited the two-character mantra, he would often onlyplete a one-character mantra.


    "Hey, little guy!"


    Suddenly, an old man in a green robe appeared in his mind. Mi Xiaojing was slightly startled, he immediately recognized him, this person had appeared in his dream before, but this time it was strange, he was in the middle of cultivation, how did this old man appear?


    "Who are you...how did you appear..."


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, but he could still see the old man in his mind clearly. This eerie feeling shocked Mi Xiaojing, he closed his eyes again and silently asked, "What''s going on? What do you want?" Even though he was startled, he remained calm and asked silently in his mind.


    It was apparent that the old man in the green robe was very excited. During this time, he almost suffocated to death. No onemunicated with him, no one knew him. Humans are social animals. Even if Wang Weijun cultivated to a high level, this wouldn''t change. With no one tomunicate with, over time, people will be abnormal.


    Wang Weijun was on the verge of madness.


    "Haha, little guy, I seeded, haha, didn''t expect it, we finally meet again, haha, hahaha..."


    Hisughter changed, but Mi Xiaojing was angry. He actually entered his own mind and made such a strangeugh, it was too damn unpleasant. "Get lost!"


    A one-character mantra was directly sent out in his mind.


    Wang Weijunughed loudly. This level of mantra had no effect on him. Whether it was Cultivation or Ascension, attacking a Nascent Soul with a low-level disciple was a joke. Even if he was in the Nascent Soul state now, he could blow him away with one breath. Mi Xiaojing''s attack was like a mosquito bite. Even if it did bite, it wouldn''t cause any harm.


    But Wang Weijun was imprisoned by the Mantra Banner and couldn''t counterattack, so he couldn''t offend Mi Xiaojing too much.


    Mi Xiaojing was furious and his emotional fluctuations affected his heart tower.


    "Get lost!"


    It was difficult to speak out a two-character mantra, but in his mind, Mi Xiaojing finally sent out a two-character mantra.


    This attack was a bit different. If the attack of a one-character mantra was like a mosquito bite, then this attack was like a big mosquito bite that would cause a bump on the skin. In other words, the attack of a two-character mantra caused a reaction from Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul.


    "Wow, interesting, little guy actually made me ufortable for a bit, haha, not bad, not bad..."


    "Get lost! Get lost! Get lost..."Mi Xiaojing frantically recited two-word mantras in his heart, pouring the attacks onto Wang Weijun like a storm.


    A few bites from a big mosquito wouldn''t hurt, but dozens of bites would definitely be ufortable. Wang Weijun was feeling exactly that.


    "Stop! Stop it... don''t do this... stop... I have something to say..."


    Wang Weijun shouted continuously, unable to resist, only able to withstand the attacks. Although the attacks weren''t fatal, they did consume some of his Yuan Ying power. In the Mantra Banner, cultivation was a difficult thing, and even a slight loss was heartbreaking. Cultivating here was just too difficult.


    Mi Xiaojing finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped reciting the mantras.


    "Who are you?"


    "I am the Cultivation Ancestor... you can call me Ancestor!"


    "Get out! Get out! Get out..."


    "Don''t recite! Don''t recite anymore..."


    "What kind of nonsense Ancestor are you? Who are you, Ancestor,ing into my mind and iming to be from the Dao Sect? Who do you think you are... Get out!"


    Wang Weijun was speechless and wanted to leave, but he couldn''t. He had almost died in the Mantra Banner and had finally made it through. He wanted to fool Mi Xiaojing, but he was disgusted by him. Was it easy for him?


    "Hey, little guy, it''s impossible for me to leave... Don''t recite, don''t recite... Hey, it''s not that I don''t want to leave, I can''t leave..."


    "What? How is this possible? You, you... give me an exnation!"


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised. Couldn''t leave? What was going on?


    Wang Weijun pretended to be profound and said, "Don''t be surprised, it''s like this... I am just a wisp of soul, temporarily staying here... cough, um, you should know that I am a super powerful expert in the Cultivation World, with extremely strong strength..."


    "Don''t say those useless things, how can you leave?"


    .


    "Ah? Can''t leave... this... that... unless you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, maybe there is hope."


    "Foundation Establishment stage?"


    Mi Xiaojing felt hopeless. During his time in the Sword Heart Sect, he had learned that there was the Qi Refining stage, then the Foundation Establishment stage, and then the Golden Core stage. Only by stepping into the Golden Core stage could one be considered a true expert in cultivation. However, countless cultivators were stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage and could not reach the Golden Core stage, eventually dying in this realm.


    Advancing from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage was a threshold for many cultivators. If it was only one foot high, then advancing from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage had a threshold of at least four feet high, which was extremely difficult to achieve.


    "I don''t know if I can reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"


    "You can, definitely. With me, the Ancestor, here, there is no problem!"


    Wang Weijun made a firm promise, secretly happy in his heart. He wasn''t worried about not being able to control Mi Xiaojing. As long as he followed his guidance in cultivation, one day, the Mantra Banner would be freed from him!Once the Mantra Banner was detached from Mi Xiaojing, he would have the opportunity to control it. At that time, he would possess a precious treasure of the Evolutionary Community. This treasure was useless in Mi Xiaojing''s hands, but in Wang Weijun''s hands, it would be different.


    After thinking for a while, Mi Xiaojing, who was still a child, did not notice any conspiracy. Hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, you can keep it for now. But remember, don''t suddenly jump out and scare people."


    "Okay, I won''te out randomly!"


    At this moment, Wang Weijun was particrly amiable. He didn''t want to anger Mi Xiaojing. If Mi Xiaojing didn''t cooperate with him, he wouldn''t have any way to achieve his goals. Therefore, he had to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust.

 Chapter 36: It doesnt matter if you want to teach or not

    <h4>Chapter 36: It doesn''t matter if you want to teach or not</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was actually very easy to learn. When he was in the Western Evolutionary Sect, he learned very little. The teachings of the Western Evolutionary Sect were all passed down orally. There was only one book that was very good. However, there were countless techniques and methods in the cultivation world, and it was really difficult to choose what to learn.


    Of course, when first entering cultivation, the content of learning was almost the same. The first step was to absorb Qi and the second step was to have one''s own true Qi. Only then could one be considered to have entered the door of cultivation. However, there were more choices for the third step, and Mi Xiaojing was poor in cultivation. He only had an entry-level technique, but he managed to cultivate it to the Great Perfection stage of the Qi Refining period in one go, which was quite remarkable.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "I am now at a bottleneck period and want to establish a foundation. How should I choose?"


    Wang Weijun''s spirits were lifted. This was the best opportunity to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust. Whether or not he could make Mi Xiaojing trust him depended on this time. He must give him good things and cultivate quickly to show him practical results. This way, the little guy would definitely trust him. Once it was critical, as long as there was one chance, there was hope for escape.


    Unable to conceal his excitement, Wang Weijun wanted tough out loud, but suddenly woke up. At this time, Mi Xiaojing had not yet trusted him. He tried hard to suppress hisughter, and his face twitched.


    Mi Xiaojingughed and said, "Old man, your mouth is crooked..." He used the term "old man" because he heard Mu Xiaoyin call Chen Shouyi "old man" and thought it was appropriate.


    Old man? Old man!


    Wang Weijun was immediately furious. He tried hard to restrain his anger. How dare this little bastard call me that? I am a senior in the cultivation world and a super master in the Nascent Soul stage! He couldn''t say anything and kept reminding himself in his heart.


    "I need to gain his trust. I can''t get angry now... I can''t get angry... It''s too damn frustrating..."


    Mi Xiaojing looked at Wang Weijun''s distorted face and asked curiously, "Old man, what''s wrong with you?"


    "Nothing!"


    These two words were almost squeezed out of his teeth. Wang Weijun lowered his head and tried to calm his anger. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Your cultivation technique... is too poor!" With his experience, how could he not know that Mi Xiaojing had only practiced an extremely rudimentary entry-level technique? He could only watch without being able tomunicate.


    However, Wang Weijun was still shocked. A person who had never been in contact with cultivation, relying solely on an extremely rudimentary entry-level technique, was able to quickly cultivate to the Great Perfection stage of the Qi Refining period. His talent was simply beyond description and extremely rare.Wang Weijun felt sad in his heart. If he had seeded in taking over Xiaojing''s body, he would have beenpletely different now. His talent was so enviable, but it was a pity...


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Inferior? I think this cultivation method is great. I''ve already reached the Great Perfection of Qi cultivation!"


    Wang Weijun thought to himself, "It''s because of your talent, not the cultivation method." He said, "If the cultivation method were better, you would progress even faster!"


    "This speed is already not slow..."


    "Indeed, it''s not slow, but if you want to make further progress, it will be extremely difficult with this cultivation method. You need a new one."


    "Oh...I see. Do you have any good cultivation methods?"


    Wang Weijun proudly said, "I have countless good cultivation methods here. It depends on what you choose..."


    "That''s easy. Just help me choose the most suitable one."


    Wang Weijun''s eyes darted around. He tried to smile and said, "Of course there''s no problem. Hehe, but there is a prerequisite for me to choose and teach you a cultivation method..."


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyebrows slightly furrowed. "What condition? If it''s too much, I won''t agree."


    Wang Weijun cursed inwardly and said, "ording to the rules of the cultivation world, if I teach you a cultivation method, then you will be my disciple. You have to worship me as your master!"


    "Worship you as my master?!"


    Wang Weijun puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, only after you be my disciple can I teach you the secrets of cultivation!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately said without hesitation, "Old man, forget it then!"


    Wang Weijun almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Although he no longer had any blood, Mi Xiaojing''s words made him feel like he was dying. Why was this child so unpredictable?!


    Mi Xiaojing had never thought of having a master. When he was in the Western Expansion Sect, several masters wanted to take him as their disciple, but for some reason, he just didn''t want to. Now, when he heard that the other party wanted to take him as a disciple, he felt a sense of resistance.


    "You...you..."


    Even though Wang Weijun was in the Nascent Soul stage, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. It was simply outrageous. The other party was ignoring his strength.


    "Whether you teach me or not, I don''t care. I''m not interested..."


    Mi Xiaojing added another sentence to cut off any hope.


    Wang Weijun waspletely at a loss. This child simply didn''t believe in him.


    This sentence reminded Wang Weijun that he was too impatient. Without establishing a rtionship of mutual trust, he shouldn''t have rushed to take a disciple. He immediately calmed down."Okay, okay, let''s put aside the apprenticeship for now. I''ll teach you a magical technique first. When you believe me... then we''ll talk about it?"


    Wang Weijun surrendered without principles.


    In his heart, he couldn''t help but sigh. In this lifetime, countless cultivators wanted to apprentice under him, but because he liked to be free and unrestrained, he had never thought of taking on disciples. This was the first time he expressed his intention to take on a disciple, but he was rejected without hesitation. Although he had ill intentions, the other party''s reaction really struck him.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t care at all, and he even disliked the old man. How dare he intrude into his mind? Mi Xiaojing had a natural sense of vignce towards him.


    "Okay, I want to choose my own magical technique. Didn''t you say there are many magical techniques and methods? Let me see them all."


    Wang Weijun''s face turned blue. He had never seen such a child before. Not only did he not want to apprentice, but he also wanted to be picky. If it were his previous temper, no matter who you were, he would have pped you to death.


    "The Wind and Thunder Magical Technique! Look at this cultivation method. It''s effortless to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage!"


    Wang Weijun threw out a good cultivation technique, the Wind and Thunder Magical Technique, also known as the Wind and Thunder Jue. It was considered a superior cultivation technique in the cultivation world, and ordinary cultivators could hardlye into contact with it.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Wind and Thunder Jue? There''s no book. How do you teach me?"


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have the ability to distinguish between good and bad cultivation techniques, but once he truly received the teachings, he would instinctively feel their quality. He had long understood this.


    Wang Weijun was very disdainful in his heart. How could a high-level cultivation technique be written in a book? There were only two ways to teach high-level techniques: one was to use a jade eye slip to imprint the technique, and the other was to directly impart the technique from a high-level cultivator. Of course, the former was less effective, while thetter was more effective.


    "Just wait patiently, and I can teach you!"


    Mi Xiaojing''s curiosity suddenly rose, and he asked, "Okay, let me see how you teach me."

 Chapter 37: Transmission of skills through the top of the head

    <h4>Chapter 37: Transmission of skills through the top of the head</h4>


    The so-called transmission of skills through the top of the head was Wang Weijun''s method, directly imparting the magical technique to Mi Xiaojing, letting him slowly digest and absorb it. Whether he learned it or not didn''t matter. This kind of transmission of skills only fully imparted the knowledge of cultivation. This way, Mi Xiaojing could clearly know what the Wind Thunder Technique was all about.


    This magical way of transmission surprised Mi Xiaojing greatly. The magical technique appeared directly in his mind, as if he had been studying for a long time and remembered it firmly.


    "Is there more of this fun stuff?"


    Wang Weijun was really about to vomit blood. Did you think this kind of magical technique was easy? Did you think it was fun? This is transmission of skills! Transmission of skills! Not a real master and disciple rtionship. Who would want to do this kind of thing!


    Wang Weijun showed a smile uglier than crying, "There is more..."


    Mi Xiaojingughed. He didn''t expect this old man to have so much more. He said, "Great, great, bring it on...it would be best to have dozens more techniques, haha."


    Wang Weijun''s Nascent Soul almost exploded with anger. Dozens more techniques? Are you kidding me!


    "I don''t have that many techniques. Even if I did, you don''t need that many..."


    "You stingy old man, what''s the big deal with having more..."


    "Wow, I''m not stingy at all. You...you''re simply unreasonable!"


    Wang Weijun was finally driven to a rage. It was really too much. He didn''t know how much he had suffered to obtain the Wind Thunder Technique, even killing many cultivators for it.


    "Okay, okay, if there aren''t dozens of techniques, then let''s have a dozen. Otherwise, how can I choose..."


    Wang Weijun''s excitement upon seeing Mi Xiaojing hadpletely disappeared. He now knew that this child was incredibly difficult to deal with. A few words from him made people unable to tolerate it. What made him feel the most aggrieved was that he really had a request for Mi Xiaojing, and he had to make him believe in himself no matter what.


    "I don''t have that many!"


    He gritted his teeth and said this.


    "How many do you have?"


    "I have one more magical technique..."


    Mi Xiaojing was disappointed. "Just one...you were so confident in the beginning. Are you lying to me?"


    "There are only two superior magical techniques. Do you want some low-level ones?"


    Mi Xiaojing thought about it and found that he wasn''t very interested in low-level techniques. He said, "Okay, okay. What''s the name of this technique?"


    "Starry Sky Qianyuan Art!"


    Mi Xiaojing became interested as soon as he heard the name. The Wind Thunder Technique didn''t give him any special feelings, it was just like an ordinary magical technique. But this one was different. The name gave a sense of power, even a sense of mystery.


    "This is great! This is the one!"


    Wang Weijun hesitated for a moment. Since you like it, can I take this opportunity to make a request? It shouldn''t be too much, right? He hesitated for a moment, but Wang Weijun ultimately gave up. This child really didn''t y by normal rules of thought. Who knows what terrible consequences making a request might bring. Unconsciously, Wang Weijun felt a little scared.Receiving the transmission, starting all over again.


    In fact, transmitting the transmission also consumes spiritual energy. Even between master and disciple, such transmissions are rarely carried out because it is very damaging to the master''s soul.


    Wang Weijun had always wanted to harm Mi Xiaojing. If he wanted to obtain it, he had to pay a price. After two transmissions, he couldn''t take it anymore and disappeared after saying just one sentence.


    "You should familiarize yourself with how to cultivate first. I will guide you..."


    Looking at Wang Weijun who suddenly disappeared, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help muttering to himself, "Why did he run away? It''s just two cultivation techniques. Is it necessary to disappear so quickly... stingy!"


    Wang Weijun retreated into his Mantra Banner. He heard Mi Xiaojing''s muttering words clearly and was so angry that his whole body trembled and his eyes emitted angry light. However, he had no way to harm Mi Xiaojing due to the suppression of the Mantra Banner.


    After all, Wang Weijun was once a great expert in thebined period with extremely high cultivation level, and he was also an old monster who had lived for a long time. Although he was temporarily provoked by Mi Xiaojing''s anger, he quickly calmed down. He was secretly shocked that he could not control his emotions.


    But he quickly understood that the decline of his cultivation level had damaged his soul. Therefore, he had extreme reactions when stimted. If he didn''t have a clear goal, he would have cursed and even fought to the death.


    "In the future, I must be careful when dealing with this little guy... I can never reveal my emotions again, even if I am angry, I must smile..."


    Wang Weijun even had the feeling of wanting to cry, which made him feel strange. After the Yuanying period, he was not greatly affected by emotions. Unexpectedly, he felt like he would rather die than live while talking to Mi Xiaojing. This kind of grievance was really unfamiliar to him.


    "No, I have to think carefully about how to deal with this little guy in the future..."


    **********


    Mi Xiaojing gained a lot. Two cultivation techniques, Wind and Thunder Technique and Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, werepletely presented in his mind. He didn''t need to study them. He just needed to cultivate ording to his memory, which was extremely convenient.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing quickly browsed through the two cultivation techniques and gradually had his own ideas.


    The Wind and Thunder Technique was actually a famous thunder technique in the cultivation world. It was known for its great power, quick moves, and strong attack power. It was stronger than other five-element techniques. The real power of the thunder technique was to deal with demons and ghosts. Any demon or ghost was very afraid of the thunder technique. Once someone cultivated the thunder technique, they would have great suppression power against these evil spirits.


    This Wind and Thunder Technique was indeed an excellent cultivation technique as Wang Weijun said.


    The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art waspletely different. Firstly, this cultivation technique was extremelyplicated. Just by browsing through it, Mi Xiaojing felt dizzy. Moreover, this cultivation technique did not have Wang Weijun''s enlightenment. If hecked this part, Mi Xiaojing would have to explore and cultivate it, which would increase the difficulty invisibly.


    "Hey! Old man,e out! Come out quickly!"Wang Weijun had just finished his psychological preparation and was thinking about how to trick Mi Xiaojing when he heard Mi Xiaojing''s frantic shouting.


    "Old man, if you don''te out, I''ll curse you..."


    "What''s wrong?"


    Wang Weijun had toe out. In order to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust and favor, he couldn''t ignore him. For freedom and survival, Wang Weijun was willing to do anything.


    "Why is the Wind and Thunder Art soplete with your cultivation experience, but the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art only has dry records of techniques?"


    "Ahem..."


    Wang Weijun''s half-hearted psychological preparation waspletely shattered by Mi Xiaojing''s words.

 Chapter 38: Starry Sky Qianyuan Art

    <h4>Chapter 38: Starry Sky Qianyuan Art</h4>


    "You, why are you so foolish! The Wind and Thunder Art is what I have cultivated and naturally have insights and lessons learned! The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art is a superior technique that I obtained by chance... I have never cultivated it, nor have I gained any insights. Is that strange?"


    Mi Xiaojing blushed at his words. He knew he had made a mistake, but the reason was simple and he just hadn''t thought of it.


    "Oh, I see," he said.


    Wang Weijun calmed himself down again, repeating to himself not to get angry three times.


    After calming down, Wang Weijun thought of a question and asked, "Which technique will you choose to cultivate? This is important. Let me give you some advice... how about it?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t mind him calling himself an old man and said, "Okay, I''d like to hear your advice."


    "Cultivate the Wind and Thunder Art. With the insights I have gained from cultivating it, it will be easy for you to cultivate it too. You won''t go astray, nor will you easily fall into demonic cultivation. It''s an absolutely smooth path that will make you incredibly powerful!"


    Wang Weijun rattled off a bunch of boastful words, looking at Mi Xiaojing, who seemed a bit confused. He couldn''t help but get angry again. "This is a shortcut! A shortcut... do you understand?"


    Mi Xiaojing was still a bit confused and said, "Wait, I have a question... I haven''t figured it out yet."


    Wang Weijun raised his head and said, "What''s the question? Ask me anything about the cultivation world... there''s very little that I don''t know!"


    "If the Wind and Thunder Art is so powerful and elevated you to the level of a super master in the cultivation world... then why were you killed by someone?"


    "What? What! You little bastard... you... you... damn it, I''m not dead!"


    Wang Weijun didn''t dare to stay any longer and instantly returned to the Mantra Banner, so angry that his Nascent Soul almost dissipated.


    He had never wanted to kill someone so badly. If he could restore his cultivation level, the first thing he would do was to tear Mi Xiaojing into pieces, burn him into powder, and capture his soul, making him wail in hell for thousands of years!


    Mi Xiaojing rubbed his head and thought, "He''s angry over this? A cultivator who can''t handle the truth won''t achieve much, even if they have some aplishments..." People outside couldn''t hear this, but Wang Weijun heard it loud and clear, making him even more furious.


    "Hmm, seeing this old man''s performance, the Wind and Thunder Art is just like that. I''ll cultivate the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art instead. Just hearing the name gives me a feeling and an urge to cultivate it. Hehe."In fact, Wang Weijun was really innocent in making Mi Xiaojing jump into a pit. Although he wanted to do it, it wasn''t about Wind and Thunder Technique. He used it to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust but was abandoned by him without hesitation.


    As soon as he decided to do it, Mi Xiaojing sat cross-legged by the Spirit Spring and began practicing the Qianyuan Art of Starry Sky for the first time.


    This Starry Sky Qianyuan Art is aplete cultivation technique that can be practiced until the Great Perfection stage. However, what Mi Xiaojing can understand and practice is only the beginning part of the Qi Refining stage. He needs to change his previous cultivation method and obtain the initial state of the Qianyuan Art of Starry Sky. Fortunately, he has not built the Foundation yet, so this change is not significant.


    If he had already built the Foundation, it would be very difficult to change the cultivation technique.


    Actually, even Wang Weijun didn''t have a clear idea about this technique. After he obtained the Jade Eye Scroll, he collected its content and then destroyed the scroll. When he carefully examined it, he found that it was a cultivation technique that started from the Qi Refining stage. At that time, he was already a master of the Yuan Ying stage.


    However, Wang Weijun can be sure that this is indeed a rare superior cultivation technique.


    The Qianyuan Art of Starry Sky was a magical technique that Wang Weijun snatched years ago. For this technique, he caused a lot of bloodshed and turmoil. However, after he destroyed the Jade Eye Scroll, the storm finally subsided. He destroyed the Jade Eye Scroll that recorded this technique in front of several masters.


    There are many legends about this technique, but with the passage of time, the legends gradually disappeared. Unexpectedly, he still took out this technique to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust.


    The so-called Starry Sky is a kind of Gang Qi generated after cultivation, with great power. Once it reaches a certain level, it can truly be unstoppable. The Qianyuan Art is the means to cultivate this Gang Qi.


    This is a very special cultivation method, and Mi Xiaojing found it difficult to practice at the beginning.


    True Qi runs along a strange route, and the blood in the whole body boils like crazy. Wherever True Qi goes, it cools down. Because Mi Xiaojing has already reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, even though it is difficult, he won''t get stuck. True Qi runs very slowly at the beginning, which made Mi Xiaojing suffer a bit.


    Arge amount of Spiritual Qi poured into his body, and Mi Xiaojing''s body was like a vortex, drawing all the surrounding Spiritual Qi into it. Luo Bo, who was practicing nearby, had to open his eyes and end his cultivation because there was no more Spiritual Qi around. How can he continue to cultivate without Spiritual Qi?


    In just half a day, all the Spiritual Qi in the cave was consumed.


    Not enough Spiritual Qi!Mi Xiaojing had no choice but to stop cultivating, but he was certain of one thing: this technique was powerful and had unlimited potential. He believed that his choice was correct and that he would cultivate this magical technique in the future.


    Even if it was difficult, a technique with great potential would bring different strengths, and Mi Xiaojing saw this very clearly.


    No matter how difficult it was, Mi Xiaojing had already made up his mind to cultivate this technique seriously. This was the fundamental method for his cultivation and the foundation for his life.


    The current w of this cultivation technique was that it consumed a lot of spiritual Qi. When the mountain gate was closed and the sword formation was activated, almost all the spiritual Qi in the mountain gate was consumed. It would take at least several tens of days to recover. Mi Xiaojing had to think of other ways, or he would not be able to continue cultivating.


    There were three ways to obtain spiritual Qi. The first way was to absorb it from the air, which was avable to all cultivators. However, the spiritual Qi in the air was very thin. The ces with rtively rich spiritual Qi were generally ces with spiritual stone veins or underground spiritual springs. In addition, formations could also gather spiritual Qi, such as the famous Gathering Spirit Array.


    The second way was to rely on spiritual stones. Spiritual stones had reliable spiritual Qi, and cultivators could absorb the spiritual Qi from them. However, spiritual stones were rare and valuable, and were the standard currency for cultivators. They could be used to exchange various resources and materials. Generally, cultivators would not use spiritual stones for cultivation as it was too extravagant.


    The third way was to use spirit pills and medicines. However, if one was not a pill master and did not have a huge sect resource, they would not use spirit pills and medicines for cultivation. Spirit pills and medicines were often used to break through bottlenecks.

 Chapter 39: Advanced Spirit Pill

    <h4>Chapter 39: Advanced Spirit Pill</h4>


    The first path is currently not enough for Mi Xiaojing to absorb. If he wants to quickly improve his cultivation level, then using spirit stones or spirit pills is the way to go. But where can he get them?


    Mi Xiaojing is really worried. In the Sword Heart Sect, he doesn''t have much status or position. He''s just a pill apprentice, so he must find a way to seed on his own.


    He doesn''t need to think about spirit stones for now, even if he could get some, it wouldn''t be enough. The only way is spirit pills. If he can refine them, then he won''t have to worry about not having enough spiritual qi to cultivate.


    Refining pills has be Mi Xiaojing''stest pursuit.


    The next morning, Mi Xiaojing went to the cliff and absorbed three mouthfuls of Qianyang purple qi. This time, he was pleasantly surprised because Qianyang purple qi can promote the Qianyuan Art.


    After washing up and cooking breakfast, he ate with Luo Bo and instructed him to continue cultivating before heading to the pill room.


    For refining pills, he must go to the pill room. In any case, with experienced pill masters around, even if he were to learn secretly, he could still learn something.


    Although Mi Xiaojing has learned some knowledge about medicinal herbs, when ites to refining pills, he''s still a novice and doesn''t know anything. However, he is confident in learning. He''s never afraid of learning new things.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Mi Xiaojing immediately noticed that something was wrong. There were many disciples and several foundation-building cultivators with serious expressions standing at the entrance. The prohibition inside had already been activated, and from the outside, it looked like a bright red me was burning.


    Mi Xiaojing was immediately stopped by someone.


    "This ce is temporarily closed. All disciples and apprentices... leave immediately."


    "Uh, I''m a pill apprentice..."


    Mi Xiaojing handed over his identity badge.


    The person nced at it and said coldly, "You can''t go in! Go away!"


    Mi Xiaojing took back his identity badge and turned to leave. There was no point in arguing with him. He might as well go back to cultivate.


    A person walked out of the prohibition inside the cave and asked, "Who''s making a fuss?"


    Mi Xiaojing stopped in his tracks. The guards came forward and saluted. "Senior Brother Guan."


    The person who came out was Guan Shangli, a hall servant of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. He nced at Mi Xiaojing and said, "Come with me. Chen Lao is inside, and you''re a bitte."


    Mi Xiaojing said indifferently, "He wouldn''t let me in and told me to leave." He wanted to give that guy a piece of his mind.


    The man blushed and said, "I, I didn''t know who you were... You can go in..."


    Guan Shangli led Mi Xiaojing inside. After passing through the prohibition, he instructed, "Go to the pill room yourself and wait for Chen Lao''s orders."


    Mi Xiaojing knew that something was up. Otherwise, the pill room wouldn''t be so heavily guarded.


    There were ordinary servants and menial workers sitting in the passage outside the pill room. They all knew Mi Xiaojing, knew he was a pill apprentice, and knew he was a cultivator. They all lowered their heads and dared not speak or move.


    Mi Xiaojing walked along the stone wall and saw a group of people standing in front of the pill furnace. He was dumbfounded. When did the pill room be so lively?


    There were a row of low-level disciples standing along the stone wall. Mi Xiaojing immediately saw Mu Xiaoyin, who was standing at the edge of the wall.


    Mi Xiaojing slowly walked along the stone wall, always wanting to know what was going on. The situation here was very strange.Quietly approaching Mu Xiaoyin, Mi Xiaojing whispered, "Senior Sister, what''s going on? Why are there so many people?"


    Mu Xiaoyin turned her head to look at Mi Xiaojing and smiled. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "We''re going to refine pills!"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused. "Refine pills? Hasn''t Chen Lao been refining pills all along?"


    Mu Xiaoyin gave him a look and whispered, "It''s a high-level Spirit Pill used by the Yuanying Ancestor..."


    Mi Xiaojing was startled. A Spirit Pill above the Yuanying stage? This thing is difficult to refine. Even if he doesn''t understand alchemy very well, he knows that this pill is not easy to refine. He whispered, "Who''s refining it?"


    "The old man is the main refiner, and Mu Laozu is assisting him. They''re refining the Loss and Gain Pill..."


    "Mu Laozu?"


    "Yes, the one standing next to the old man, Mu Hengyuan Laozu, a super master at the Yuanying stage..."


    Mi Xiaojing was shocked. This was the first time he had ever seen a master at the Yuanying stage. Such masters were extremely powerful even in the cultivation sects. In the eyes of low-level cultivators, they were invincible gods!


    However, Mi Xiaojing still had questions. He whispered, "I remember... Chen Lao is at the Foundation Establishment stage. Can he refine Spirit Pills at the Yuanying stage? And he''s the main refiner..."


    Mu Xiaoyin shook her head. "I don''t know, but the old man is a master alchemist. In our sect, he''s the most skilled at alchemy."


    Of the people in front of the pill furnace, Mi Xiaojing only recognized Chen Shouyi and the Yuanying old monster Mu Hengyuan that Mu Xiaoyin mentioned. When he thought of Mu Hengyuan''s surname, he couldn''t help but think of Mu Xiaoyin. Did these two have some kind of rtionship?


    As for the other people beside the pill furnace, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know them. He was a little curious and whispered, "Do you know all the people beside the pill furnace?"


    Mu Xiaoyin nodded. "Yes, look... that''s our Heart Sect''s Sect Leader, Mo Chentian Laozu, also a Yuanying old ancestor. And there''s Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, isn''t she beautiful? She''s a legend in our Heart Sect."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "She''s also a Yuanying old ancestor?"


    "Of course, her strength is only second to Yu Hong Laozu, at the mid-Yuanying stage." Mu Xiaoyin looked envious. As a woman, Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had an extraordinary status in the Heart Sect, while she was just a small mortal without even the qualification to look up to her.


    Mi Xiaojing was still curious. "Who needs a Spirit Pill at the Yuanying stage?" Since the sect doesn''t have this kind of Spirit Pill, it must be some Yuanying old monster who needs it. Otherwise, why would they be refining it so carefully?


    "I don''t know. They didn''t say, only that they want to refine the Loss and Gain Pill."


    Mi Xiaojing had already guessed. Combined with the closing of the mountain gate and the appearance of three of the sect''s four Yuanying old ancestors, it proved one thing: Yu Hong was injured and needed the Loss and Gain Pill to heal.


    Although Mi Xiaojing thought he had figured out the reason, he didn''t tell Mu Xiaoyin. The little girl was indeed well-informed, but there were still some things she didn''t know.


    The several old masters discussed matters with each other using their spiritual senses, so the people waiting beside them couldn''t hear anything.


    After a moment, the old masters seemed to have finished their discussion.


    Mi Xiaojing''s spirit was lifted. He knew that the alchemy was about to begin.

 Chapter 40: Alchemy

    <h4>Chapter 40: Alchemy</h4>


    Mu Hengyuan casually threw out four small gs, which flew out andnded in the four directions around the pill furnace, triggering a faint thunder sound as the defensive banner formation was activated.


    Mo Chentian and the Immortal Maiden Mu Xiaoyin sat cross-legged outside the banner formation.


    At this moment, Guan Shangli hurriedly entered, holding a storage bag and respectfully handing it to Mo Chentian, whispering, "We''ve gathered five portions of spiritual herbs and medicines."


    Mo Chentian frowned and asked, "Why so few?"


    Guan Shangli gave a bitter smile and replied in a low voice, "Sect Leader, we checked all our inventory and only found enough for five portions. If you need more, we''ll have to purchase them from the market."


    Mo Chentian had no choice, especially since the mountain gate was now closed and it was inconvenient toe and go. It was very difficult to obtain the materials for the Damage and Benefit Pill.


    Guan Shangli bowed and stepped aside. As a Pill Master himself, he wanted to see how Chen Lao and Mu Laozu refined pills. Fortunately, he had a good rtionship with Chen Lao and was allowed to watch from the side. However, Hong Qing, another Pill Master from Grass-Benevolence Hall, was not allowed to enter because Chen Lao did not allow it.


    Mo Chentian tossed the storage bag and Mu Hengyuan opened his palm, pulling the bag into the banner formation. After checking with his divine sense, Mu Hengyuan nodded slightly. Although the quantity was a bit small, they could already refine the first batch of Damage and Benefit Pills.


    He handed the storage bag to Chen Shouyi and said, "Shouyi, we have five portions of materials in total, which is a bit less. We can''t afford too many failures. We need to seed at least once in five batches of pills..."


    Chen Shouyi''s face was solemn. "Master, it all depends on you this time... I''m not very confident."


    This message was not transmitted through divine sense, so Mi Xiaojing heard it clearly. It turned out that Mu Hengyuan was Chen Shouyi''s master. This was the first time he had heard of it. No wonder Chen Shouyi''s status was so high and he had such a big backer. No one dared to offend him.


    In the pill room, besides the three Yuan Ying stage cultivators and a Pill Master, everyone else was from Grass-Benevolence Hall. However, there were also many people from Grass-Benevolence Hall who did note. It was not that they did not want toe, but that Chen Shouyi did not allow it. There were many factions within Grass-Benevolence Hall, and many people did not get along with each other.


    As for Mi Xiaojing and the other pill room attendants, they had no problem staying and watching.


    While Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin were sitting cross-legged in a corner watching, Wang Weijun appeared in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. He could see the scene of the pill refinement through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes.


    "A few kids refining pills... interesting. This is their level?"


    Before the pill refinement even began, Wang Weijun had already started mocking them. To him, this level of pill refinement was child''s y, both simple and immature.


    Mi Xiaojing was actually quite happy in his heart. He already knew that Wang Weijun was very strong, but he did not know how strong. However, Chen Shouyi and Mu Hengyuan in front of him, one at the Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Yuan Ying stage, were already very powerful in his eyes. It was unbelievable that Wang Weijun would call them "kids.""Haha, in my eyes, they are all a bunch of useless people. Calling them little guys is being polite. They are making and losing pills while making a big fuss about it. Their level is not just bad, it''s very bad!"


    Mi Xiaojing was half-believing and half-doubting. He thought to himself, "Bluffing without any preparation, I can also say this... Talking big, who can''t do that!" He wanted to make him feel frustrated first before saying anything.


    Wang Weijun was really stuck by Mi Xiaojing. It was not easy to show off in front of him as a superior person. Therefore, Mi Xiaojing''s words made him feel like he had hit a wall. It was really frustrating.


    Every time Mi Xiaojing teased this guy, he felt a very pleasant feeling. He liked oppressing him more and more. Whenever he saw him jumping around in anger, Mi Xiaojing felt a sense of aplishment.


    "Do you know what? You don''t know anything! Can you make pills? Of course, you don''t understand... I can tell what they are doing with just one nce. What does this mean? This means that I am proficient in alchemy!"


    "Moreover, these little guys need to use a pill furnace to make pills. This is the worst way to make pills. Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, as long as you have certain spiritual fire, you can make pills without a pill furnace!"


    "You don''t know anything, you just talk nonsense and pretend to know everything. I have seen everything..."


    He spoke harshly and Wang Weijun didn''t know that the amount of information he revealed in this paragraph was really huge. It was so big that even Mi Xiaojing was a little surprised.


    The fact that pills can be made without a pill furnace was really scary and gave him a sense of the supernatural.


    "You''re lying to me..."


    Mi Xiaojing continued to tease him, not afraid of him. Fighting with him verbally was the way to go.


    "You''re making me angry! Damn it... You''re making me angry!"


    Sure enough, just two words from Mi Xiaojing made him jump in anger. Although Wang Weijun wanted to deceive him, it was not in this aspect. He was telling the truth about basic alchemy. However, Mi Xiaojing''s "You''re lying to me" hit Wang Weijun''s sore spot directly.


    In anger, Wang Weijun directly imparted basic alchemy knowledge and experience. In his opinion, this was basic alchemy knowledge, but for Mi Xiaojing, this was a huge gain.


    Caught off guard, arge amount of knowledge flooded in. For a moment, Mi Xiaojing felt dizzy, but he had experienced two simr experiences of imparting knowledge before, so he knew that it was Wang Weijun''s imparting.


    After calming down from the dizziness, Mi Xiaojing found that it was knowledge about alchemy. He was overjoyed. It was really like getting a pillow when he was sleepy. This old man was a good person! Of course, he only thought of this good person card for a moment and did not even send it to Wang Weijun. When he looked at Chen Shouyi making pills again, Mi Xiaojing''s perspective was different.


    Watching the excitement and watching the door were two different things. Once he understood alchemy, his gains would be significant. With experience and practice, even if Mi Xiaojing had never made a pill before, he had his own ideas.


    "What are you doing? I didn''t promise to ept your imparting..."


    "Ah... you little brat, do you want to make me angry?"


    Mi Xiaojing saw that the green-robed old man was really getting angry, so he calmed him down with a sentence."I''ll let it go this time, I won''t me you. Also, this is just basic alchemy knowledge, you should give me something advanced... Hmm, like what you just said, the kind that doesn''t need a pill furnace..."


    Wang Weijun was furious, he couldn''t take it anymore and roared, "I''m going to bite you, you little bastard, little animal, I... I don''t even know how to curse anymore."


    Mi Xiaojing calmly thought to himself, "Stay calm, stay calm. You''re a cultivation master, cursing like this shows no dignity. It makes me doubt if you''re really a cultivation master... I heard that true cultivation masters have grace..."


    "Grace my ass!"


    Wang Weijun waspletely blinded by anger. Of course, cultivation masters have grace, but that''s only if you don''t insult them. Once a cultivation master is provoked, they won''t talk about grace with you. They''ll just p you to death and won''t hold any grudges.

 Chapter 41: Failed Alchemy

    <h4>Chapter 41: Failed Alchemy</h4>


    At this moment, Mu Xiaoyin pulled on Mi Xiaojing''s sleeve and whispered, "Junior Brother, it''s starting!"


    Sure enough, Chen Shouyi was in charge, with Mu Hengyuan as his assistant, and they officially began refining the Profit and Loss Pill.


    Mi Xiaojing understood almost all the movements of alchemy in seconds.


    Whether it was activating the prohibition of the pill furnace or igniting the earth fire, Mi Xiaojing understood everything, and he could even see the shorings. He finally realized that Wang Weijun''s knowledge of alchemy was definitely a good thing. He had wronged the old man earlier.


    "I''m sorry! Old man, I was wrong."


    Wang Weijun was still raging, but suddenly heard Mi Xiaojing apologize and say he was wrong. The heartache was unbearable, and he almost cried. Fortunately, he was in the Nascent Soul stage, so even if he cried, there were no tears.


    Sometimes furious, sometimes aggrieved, even Wang Weijun himself didn''t realize that his emotions werepletely out of control and gradually being controlled by Mi Xiaojing. This was extremely detrimental to him.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at Chen Shouyi and Mu Hengyuan''s alchemy, and he was already fascinated because he could understand it. If he couldn''t understand it, he would lose interest.


    The pill furnace made a loud noise, and Chen Shouyi kept chanting magical techniques and incantations, which helped preheat the pill furnace.


    Mu Hengyuan also cooperated with Chen Shouyi, trying to maintain the best state of the pill furnace.


    After preheating, the fire spirit patterns on the furnace wall flickered one by one. Mi Xiaojing, who had received the inheritance of alchemy, understood that the preheating was good, butpared to Wang Weijun''s experience, there was still a big gap. Many of the incantations used to activate and stimte the furnace were not ideal.


    Mi Xiaojing felt that he had better incantations to preheat the pill furnace and prepared ordingly.


    Chen Shouyi hesitated a little. "Master, what should I do?"


    Mu Hengyuan calmly said, "Just a little more!"


    A few breathster, Mu Hengyuan shouted, "Okay! Let''s begin!"


    Chen Shouyi took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and flicked his finger. A ball of pre-processed medicinal liquid flew out and entered the pill furnace, which cracked open a circr mouth about the size of a rice bowl, spewing out a red me. The medicinal liquid flew straight into it.


    The timing was quite precise. Chen Shouyi continued to tap his storage bag, and the alchemy materials flew out one by one and were sent into the pill furnace.


    Mi Xiaojing watched with excitement. He understood every step, and he was overjoyed because it meant that if he had a pill furnace, he could also refine pills. Even if he wasn''t proficient yet, he understood all the steps. With some practice, he could definitely refine pills.


    Even if he couldn''t refine the pills needed for the Nascent Soul stage, he shouldn''t have any problem refining the Qi Refining pills he needed. This trip was a big gain.


    Learning alchemy so easily made Mi Xiaojing feel a little guilty. At this time, Wang Weijun had already left, and he waspletely beaten down by Mi Xiaojing''s words. His self-esteem and confidence had been greatly damaged, so he retreated to the Mantra Banner to heal his emotional wounds.


    Wang Weijun didn''t understand why he was so fragile now.


    This alchemy ended in failure, and it didn''t even reach the end of the process. A problem with the fire caused the half-finished pill furnace to turn to ashes.


    Chen Shouyi and Mu Hengyuan didn''t understand why there was a problem.


    But Mi Xiaojing understood and knew what went wrong. He just wouldn''t say a word. He had no obligation or desire to help the Heart Sect.


    One wrong incantation and one fire spirit pattern that ignited prematurely caused the failure of the entire alchemy process.The reason why there are few pill masters is because of the issue of proficiency. Even if you know the steps, without experience, every step may go wrong. A pill master, even if talented, needs countless materials to refine every kind of spirit pill. They have to go through countless failures before they can seed.


    Of course, once sessful, as long as you summarize properly, it is rtively easier to repeat. The inheritance experience that Mi Xiaojing received is the alchemy experience that has been repeated and tempered countless times. If his cultivation strength was enough, his alchemy level might even be better than Chen Shouyi''s. Chen Shouyi did not have a true master to pass down his alchemy experience.


    Everyone''s face was bad when the alchemy failed.


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian stood up and said, "First, summarize, then prepare to refine again. In addition, Immortal Maiden B¨¬lu¨°, go to the market to collect alchemy materials. If you can find the Profit and Loss Pill, buy it at all costs!"


    Immortal Maiden B¨¬lu¨° nodded and left.


    Chen Shouyi was full of sweat on his face. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. This alchemy waspletely beyond his ability range. It was normal to fail. If he seeded, that would be strange.


    Mu Hengyuan''s face was also gloomy. He said, "I''ll control the pill fire in the future."


    Chen Shouyi immediately rxed, "Okay, Master."


    Mu Hengyuan continued, "In the future, don''t let so many peoplee. Only we, Master and disciple, will explore alchemy."


    Everyone was driven away, including Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin. The two of them walked out of the pill room and Mu Xiaoyin said, "I''ll go to your ce. I''ve gained some insights in my recent cultivation, hehe." She couldn''t cultivate, but she had already entered the evolutionary immortality level, which was equivalent to the foundation building period of a cultivator. Of course, the initial evolutionary immortality was stronger than an ordinary person, butpared with the foundation building period of a cultivator, it was much weaker.


    Even so, Mu Xiaoyin was satisfied. This was better than not being able to cultivate. The characteristic of evolutionary immortality was that once it reached a certain high level, its strength would increase rapidly. For example, if it reached a level simr to the Yuan Ying period, its strength would be simr to that of a cultivator. Moreover, evolutionary immortality would be more powerful if it went further.


    However, it was too difficult for evolutionary immortality to reach a high level. Almost 99% of evolutionary immortals could not reach a high level in their entire lives. This was why the status of evolutionary immortals was not high and they were often bullied and killed by cultivators.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to his small courtyard. Luo Bo was still cultivating by the spiritual spring in the cave. He had just entered the cultivation stage and reached the foundation building period. Recently, he had been practicing non-stop to consolidate his realm.


    Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "We can take it easy for a while. The old man will be very busy for a while and won''t have time for us. It''s a good opportunity to cultivate."


    Although Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t cultivate, her aptitude for evolutionary immortality was extremely good. In a short time, a blurry human figure formed inside her body, which wasposed of true words. She described it to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing almost understood as soon as he heard it. This was an advanced evolution shadow, just like his own Heart Tower, both of which were excellent receptacles for true words.

 Chapter 42: Youre back again?

    <h4>Chapter 42: You''re back again?</h4>


    At the beginning, Mi Xiaojing didn''t expect things to turn out this way, so he became even more dedicated to teaching. He even sent Mu Xiaoyin to the sect''s market to buy a piece of Evolutionary Wood and taught her how to make a prayer bead ne. This had to be done personally and couldn''t be done by others. Once it was sessfully made, it would be held for a lifetime.


    Since making the ne, Mu Xiaoyin wore it on her wrist during the day and covered it with her sleeve. She only took it off to cultivate at night. The ne had eighteen beads with the same meaning as Mi Xiaojing''s. During cultivation, the mantra was gradually transformed. After only a few days, the originally white beads had turned brownish-yellow. In just a little while longer, the ne would be shiny ck.


    After giving Mu Xiaoyin a few pointers and letting her cultivate in her room, Mi Xiaojing went to the spiritual spring in the cave. He didn''t cultivate, but instead pondered alchemy. He had received Wang Weijun''s alchemy inheritance, even if it was just the basics, it was like finding treasure. He had to carefully consider how to mine the treasures within it.


    The sectcked spiritual qi, and although it could slowly recover, the magical technique that Mi Xiaojing was cultivating required an extremelyrge amount of spiritual qi. Therefore, alchemy was a good choice. Once arge number of spirit pills were refined, many problems could be solved. When he arrived at the cultivation sect, Mi Xiaojing learned that a cultivator needed extremely vast resources.


    A poor person couldn''t cultivate. In the Western Expansion Sect, he had never realized this problem, but now it waspletely different. Spirit herbs and medicines weren''t obtained for free. They had to be bought with spirit stones or exchanged for other things. No one would just give them to him.


    As a Dan-tong, he only received one low-grade spirit stone a month, and he hadn''t even seen the shadow of a spirit stone until now.


    Wang Weijun appeared again. He had been pondering in the Mantra Banner for a long time and finally realized that he was too impatient and eager to seed, which led to his anxiety. This was something that Mi Xiaojing had said, which made him feel like he was dying.


    Gaining Mi Xiaojing''s trust required a process of giving. Only when Mi Xiaojing trusted himpletely, could he dig a hole and make the little rascal jump in. Then he could manipte him as he pleased. When he thought of this, he finally felt happy.


    "Patience, peace, and humility! When necessary, please this little rascal!"


    After positioning himself, he jumped out excitedly.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t expect Wang Weijun to pop up again and couldn''t help butugh. He said, "You''re back again?"


    After receiving two sets of techniques and the alchemy inheritance, he felt much better about Wang Weijun, but there was still a sense of wariness in his heart. After all, this person wasn''t appearing outside, but hiding within his body. In any case, he wouldn''t trust himpletely.


    This one sentence almost made Wang Weijun lose control again. What do you mean by "you''re back again"? This was simply unreasonable!


    Wang Weijun silently repeated to himself, "Be humble, be humble! Be patient!"


    "Haha, I missed you..."


    Mi Xiaojing''s hair stood on end. This person''s attitude changed too quickly, making himpletely unable to adapt.


    "What do you want? Are you nning something bad again?"


    "Ahem... I... I''m just concerned about you. You can''t treat me like this!"


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea when he started to enjoy teasing and provoking this guy. Watching him jump around in anger made Mi Xiaojing genuinely happy. So once the two of them started talking, it was like thunder and lightning. Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "If you leave my body... I''ll be very polite to you!"He didn''t know that Wang Weijun had been suppressed by the Mantra Banner, but he instinctively felt that having a life soul inside his body was a dangerous thing.


    Wang Weijun also realized that it was difficult for the little guy to trust him, but he couldn''t turn his face. Without Xiaojing''s cooperation, it was almost impossible for him toe out. Moreover, Wang Weijun was still thinking about seizing his body. This body was too tempting.


    No matter how Xiaojing treated Wang Weijun, he had to continue to endure it, which Wang Weijun was very clear about.


    "I also want to leave, but it''s not possible right now... However, I have something to offer you. You won''t deny that, right?"


    Wang Weijun said sincerely.


    "It''s okay..."


    Xiaojing said casually, "I''m currently practicing andcking Spirit Pills. You can''t give them to me... I alsock Spirit Stones... Ick everything... If you have something to offer, do you have anything?"


    "What nonsense is that? With your ability, you can get anything you want. What I offer is the real deal - cultivation techniques, alchemy! These are the real means to improve your strength and make money!"


    Xiaojing was still a child and didn''t realize the problem. He was happy to hear it. "Yeah, why didn''t I think of that... This is a good idea."


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but curse in his heart, "What a stupid kid!" But he had to endure it and continue to guide Xiaojing.


    Xiaojing thought for a moment and felt helpless. Even if he wanted to practice alchemy, he needed medicinal herbs, Pill Furnaces, and support, but he had nothing. He was in the Grass-Benevolence Hall and didn''t have the qualifications to practice alchemy.


    If he wanted to practice alchemy, where could he find suitable materials? As for the Pill Scripture, when Wang Weijun taught him alchemy, there were many low-level Pill Scriptures that were good. Although they were low-level Pill Scriptures, they were modified by Wang Weijun and were considered unique secret methods.


    Having the Pill Scripture but no resources was useless. Even if he had the best Pill Scripture and abundant alchemy experience, it was useless without any resources to practice alchemy or Pill Furnaces.


    Wang Weijun was also silent about this difficult problem. He had no solution.


    "Wait, your strength is too weak... You can''t do anything for now."


    "Is that your solution?"


    "What else can we do?"


    Wang Weijun was helpless, and he felt even more aggrieved.


    Xiaojing still had some questions about alchemy, and since he had never personally practiced it, there were some things he couldn''t understand. He took this opportunity to ask Wang Weijun.


    Since Wang Weijun had made up his mind to gain Xiaojing''s trust, he didn''t hold back when answering alchemy questions. He answered in great detail.


    Wang Weijun really did his best to teach Xiaojing, which was something he had never thought of before.


    "I''m really a masochist!"


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help butment in his heart.

 Chapter 43: Vast Gold Sect

    <h4>Chapter 43: Vast Gold Sect</h4>


    The Vast Gold Sect is located in the center of the Vast Gold Desert, about 2,500 kilometers away from the Sword Heart Sect.


    After the demonic spirits destroyed themselves in the Vast Gold Desert, the entire desert was ignited by magma, bing a huge volcano eruption zone. This eruption involved the entire desert area, and also affected the Vast Gold Sect.


    As the Vast Gold Sect is a rare sect that puts their sect underground, the eruption of magma and fire destroyed the entire mountain gate, causing heavy casualties among those who relied on the Vast Gold Sect for shelter. Ordinary people and low-level cultivators were almostpletely wiped out, with only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators and the majority of the fallen Ancestors of the Core Formation stage being able to escape.


    This blow was extremely fatal to the Vast Gold Sect, causing them to lose everything.


    Everyone initially thought it was a natural disaster, but one of the Core Formation stage old monsters, who was skilled in divination, discovered that it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. This angered all the remaining cultivators.


    The three Core Formation stage old monsters of the Vast Gold Sect were particrly furious.


    As the true Ancestor of the Vast Gold Sect, the top symbol of the sect, thete Core Formation stage old monster, Radix Notoginseng, swore to find the person who caused the disaster and kill him, regardless of who he was. If he had a sect, then the entire sect would be destroyed as well.


    The three Core Formation stage old monsters, six Core Formation stage fallen Ancestors, and the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators all swore to never rest until they found the culprit.


    In fact, there were countless methods for high-level cultivators to find clues, and it didn''t take long for the person who caused the disaster to be revealed.


    It was Yu Hong of the Sword Heart Sect!


    He was also ate Core Formation stage old monster, with extraordinary strength.


    Moreover, the Sword Heart Sect was stronger than the Vast Gold Sect, with many cultivators and upying a mountain range with abundant Spiritual Qi. The location of their mountain gate had a powerful defensive sword formation and was definitely not an easy target.


    "Senior Brother, we must seek revenge! Let''s go directly to the Sword Heart Sect!" said a burly man, a famous Core Formation stage old monster of the Vast Gold Sect known for his hot temper.


    Ban Jin, in the early Core Formation stage, had a shiny bald head and a body like a square block, with arge head, strong arms, short and thick legs, and muscles all over his body. He liked to go shirtless, and because of his special cultivation technique, there were countless strange patterns on his body, which were caused by his cultivation and not ordinary tattoos. When he became angry, all the patterns on his body would wriggle and glow.


    Radix Notoginseng and Ban Jin were senior brothers, both taught by the same master who had fallen a hundred years ago. At that time, their master was also a prominent figure in the cultivation world.


    "Let''s consider how we should act. Revenge must be taken, but we must also consider the method," said a softly-spoken old woman in ck clothes. She was a senior member of the Vast Gold Sect, and also the sect leader, in the middle Core Formation stage. Her name was Oni, and people in the sect called her Granny Oni. She had originally nned to pass on the position of sect leader to her disciple, but after this incident, the sect''s residence was gone, and she no longer cared about it.


    Radix Notoginseng said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, how should we act?"


    Oni said calmly, "Blood for blood, this is beyond doubt. But this old woman knows that the Sword Heart Sect''s Protector Sword Formation is extremely sharp. If we don''t have a certain degree of certainty in breaking the formation, we won''t gain any advantage by going there."Ban Jin impatiently said: "Who cares if he benefits or not? Killing for the sake of killing is the real deal. In my opinion, we should just charge up to the mountain gate and kill anyone we see, destroy everything, only then can I clear my mind and feel happy!"


    Sha Shen shouted: "Junior Brother, shut up and listen to your senior sister!"


    Ban Jin grudgingly shut his mouth.


    Oni said: "With our remaining strength, we are not enough to shake the Heart Sect. The old woman ns to invite some people to help."


    Sha Shen asked: "Okay, but what price do we pay in exchange?"


    The Vast Gold Sect is also an ancient sect with a profound background. If the disaster hadn''te too fast, they would have had enough resources to exchange for help from experts. However, even so, they still have many good things in their hands.


    Oni said: "We brought some precious items and a lot of spirit stones. We should be able to exchange for some help from experts."


    .


    Sha Shen sighed and said: "Still not enough!"


    Oni coldly smiled and said: "You should know... the Heart Sect is also a sect with a profound background. Once we break through the formation and enter, there will be many good things inside. We can just divide it among us."


    Sha Shen''s eyes lit up. It was a good idea to use the enemy''s resources to exchange for their own helpers.


    "Okay, invite some people and let''s all act together!"


    **********


    During this time, it was the mostfortable days for Mi Xiaojing. With Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo, he had been practicing in the small courtyard without going out. The three of them persevered in their cultivation.


    Mu Xiaoyin was practicing Evolutionary Immortality, Luo Bo was practicing cultivation, and Mi Xiaojing practiced cultivation during the day and Evolutionary Immortality at night. Both of them did not give up.


    Every morning, Mi Xiaojing would bring Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo to the cliff, where the three of them would sit and wait for the sunrise, the moment to absorb the Qianyang purple qi.


    Mi Xiaojing had long discovered the benefits of absorbing Qianyang purple qi. He did not keep it to himself and taught Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo the technique once Mu Xiaoyin entered the converted realm and Luo Bo entered cultivation.


    Currently, Mi Xiaojing could absorb six mouthfuls of Qianyang purple qi, while Mu Xiaoyin could absorb half a mouthful and Luo Bo could barely absorb one mouthful. It was difficult for the two of them to digest the Qianyang purple qi, but the benefits were extremely obvious, greatly improving their cultivation speed.


    Mi Xiaojing''s absorption of Qianyang purple qi had obviously increased, which was also due to the increase in his strength after practicing cultivation. His body could also amodate more Qianyang purple qi.


    To some extent, Qianyang purple qi could change a person''s aptitude and physique, but because of the difficulty in absorption and digestion, if there were no special means, inhaling one mouthful of Qianyang purple qi could lead to death.


    Mi Xiaojing himself was not aware of the danger involved. Absorbing Qianyang purple qi seemed to be a natural ability he had since he was very young, and he naturally passed it on to Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo.


    The most peculiar thing was that both of them could absorb Qianyang purple qi smoothly, although there was a difference in quantity, it did not bring any danger.

 Chapter 44: Attack the mountain gate

    <h4>Chapter 44: Attack the mountain gate</h4>


    The entire Sword Heart Sect was unusually calm, but the calmness was only on the surface. There were all kinds of rumors circting in secret. The only ones who were not affected were Mi Xiaojing and his twopanions. They practiced quietly, discussed their cultivation experiences, and asionallymunicated with Wang Weijun.


    Thanks to Wang Weijun''s deliberate humility and suppression of his grievances, he was now able tomunicate normally with Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing had benefited greatly from this, especially in cultivation. After all, Wang Weijun was once a great power in the cultivation world, a super expert in thebined period. With just a few pointers, he helped Mi Xiaojing avoid many detours.


    However, no matter how hard Mi Xiaojing tried to cultivate, he was still stuck at the bottleneck and unable to break through to the foundation establishment period. He needed the help of a Spirit Pill, specifically a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    But Mi Xiaojing had already made some progress in cultivating the Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky. It was just progressing very slowly due to insufficient Spiritual Qi.


    One day, the three of them absorbed the Qianyang Purple Qi on the cliff and walked back to their small courtyard. On the way, Mi Xiaojing also collected some fresh Huangjing Fuling and wild vegetables to bring back to eat.


    The weather was getting colder and the gloomy sky made people feel ufortable. Mi Xiaojing looked up at the sky and said, "It''s going to snow!" This reminded him of the big snowfall and massacre at the Western Expansion Sect, and his face darkened.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s expression, Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo held his hands, trying tofort him.


    Feeling their warmth, Mi Xiaojing said, "Let''s go back."


    Back at the small courtyard, the three of them hurriedly cleaned up. Just then, snowkes began to fall.


    Mu Xiaoyinughed and said, "Little Junior Brother, you were right. It''s snowing!"


    In just ten minutes, the snowfall became so dense that nothing could be seen ten meters away. The three of them hurried back inside. The once bright room now became dark and gloomy due to the snowstorm.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly lit the charcoal he had prepared beforehand, and the room became warm again. The door was open, and the snow and wind blew in, but because of the extended eaves of the house, not much snow got inside. However, the wind and snow made the fire in the charcoal pot flicker, and outside the door was already a white world.


    Mi Xiaojing did not sit by the charcoal pot but stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. "Another big snowfall," he sighed.


    Suddenly, there was a deafening sound, like muffled thunder.


    Mi Xiaojing stumbled and realized that the entire earth was shaking.


    "What''s going on?"


    Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo jumped up and rushed to Mi Xiaojing''s side. Mu Xiaoyin nervously asked, "What''s happening?"Before they could react, another explosion sounded, and in an instant, the sky lit up. Through the snow, they could vaguely see numerous sword shadows flying up, and the mountain guarding formation was activated.


    Just as they were stunned, Mu Xiaoyin shouted, "Someone is attacking the sword formation...someone is attacking the sword formation!"


    Suddenly, the densely flying snowkes disappeared, and a huge light shield appeared above their heads. The sword formation had actually blocked all the falling snowkes, and their field of vision opened up.


    Mi Xiaojing wondered why there was trouble on a snowy day.


    Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, and Luo Bo all stared at the sky in amazement. They swore they had never seen such a magnificent and breathtaking sky in their lives, with such terrifying sword shadows and pressure.


    "Someone is attacking our sect..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was frightened. She had never thought that anyone would dare attack the Heart Sect. She knew how strong the Heart Sect was, and it was an absolute overlord within a few thousand miles.


    Mi Xiaojing, on the other hand, was a little excited. He wished the outsiders would attack and break in, just like the Western Expansion Sect that was destroyed by the Heart Sect on a snowy night.


    "Retribution!"


    Mi Xiaojing murmured softly. Mu Xiaoyin was fully focused on the sky and didn''t notice what Mi Xiaojing said. Her face was visibly flushed, her small hands tightly clenched into fists, clearly showing that her thoughts werepletely different from Mi Xiaojing''s.


    Luo Bo also looked up at the sky, eximing from time to time.


    **********


    The three Yuanying stage experts of the Vast Gold Sect had nned to sneak into the Heart Sect, but upon arrival, they found that the entire mountain gate was closed, meaning they couldn''t enter.


    Following Oni''s n, they decided to seek outside help, but Ban Jin was unwilling. He said, "I can''t bear it without a fight!"


    After pondering for a moment, Radix Notoginseng said, "It seems...the Heart Sect was already prepared. Hmph, since that''s the case, we might as well attack them."


    Oni hesitated when she heard this. "How do we attack? The Heart Sect''s mountain guarding formation is not just for show. ording to the olddy''s knowledge, it is arge-scale sword formation that transforms the mountain into a sword! Its power...we all know it."


    Radix Notoginseng said, "We won''t attack head-on...we''ll ambush them once...I have a treasure here that is perfect for sneak attacks."


    "Are you going to use the Thousand Thunder Strike?"


    Oni was surprised.


    The Thousand Thunder Strike was a thunder bead condensed from true Gang and extreme Yang Qi. The Vast Gold Sect only had two left, which were treasures left behind during the peak period of the Vast Gold Sect. ording to legend, an elder of the Vast Gold Sect obtained four Thousand Thunder Strikes by chance, and three were left in the Vast Gold Sect.


    In a crisis, one Thousand Thunder Strike was used up, and its effects were recorded in the sect''s scriptures. Its power was unimaginable.Therefore, when Radix Notoginseng mentioned it, Oni immediately understood that he must be talking about Refine Thousand Thunders.


    Radix Notoginseng nodded and said, "Yes, using Refine Thousand Thunders, no matter what, Refine Thousand Thunders is refined by Loose Immortals. Even if it cannot shatter the Mountain Protection Array, it can still shake the entire array..."


    Oni showed a hint of pain in her expression. After a while, she said, "Good! Even if it costs us a Refine Thousand Thunders, we must express our anger to the Heart Sect!"


    Radix Notoginseng showed a fierce expression and said, "Let''s first startle them a bit, hehe, let their people enter the array... and then give them a Refine Thousand Thunders."


    Ban Jin grinned and let out a loudugh. He swung his fist and said, "Let''s do it! This is a good n!" He also understood the power of Refine Thousand Thunders and knew that this n was feasible.


    The three of them flew up from the mountain forest. At this time, heavy snow was falling,pletely covering their figures.


    About a hundred meters away from the Mountain Protection Array, the three of them hovered in the air.

 Chapter 45: Slay Thousand Thunders

    <h4>Chapter 45: y Thousand Thunders</h4>


    Ban Jindao: "I''ll attack first!"


    Radix Notoginseng: "Hmm, activate the mountain protection formation, and then their people will enter the formation to manipte it. That''s when we strike!"


    Ban Jindao: "Good!"


    Oni said: "The old woman is responsible for the lookout!"


    Radix Notoginseng: "Okay, junior brother, you attack first. Once Qian Lei strikes, you all must quickly flee at my signal!"


    After discussing for a while, the three of them began to act.


    Ban Jindao waved his arm, and the seven yellow bracelets on his arm flew out, instantly transforming into arge earth-yellow sword.


    The Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword!


    This was Ban Jindao''s famous magic weapon, which was just one step away from being a spiritual weapon. Its power was quite impressive.


    After an incantation, Ban Jindao fiercely waved his arm and shouted, "Go!"


    In an instant, the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword transformed into seven forms resembling flowing sand, and madly shot towards the Sword Heart Sect.


    It should be noted that the three of them were less than a hundred meters away from the Sword Heart Sect''s mountain protection formation, so when the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword was released, it instantly activated the defense formation. A light curtain rapidly appeared, emitting a dazzling light.


    Boom! Boom! Boom...


    Seven consecutive loud bangs, a huge light shield appeared, and countless sword shadows flew around, instantly deflecting the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword.


    Ban Jindao groaned, and his whole body flew back more than a hundred meters. He couldn''t help but say, "This sword formation is powerful!" He beckoned, and the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword was retrieved, and then he struck again.


    Radix Notoginseng and Oni also retreated at the same time. They knew that once the sword formation was activated, the other side would soon send someone out.


    Sure enough, with a long roar, a sword rainbow flickered, and a person appeared in the sword formation.


    "Who are you?"


    Radix Notoginseng''s body swayed slightly, and he had already arrived nearby. He hung in the air and said calmly, "Vast Gold Sect...I am the old man Radix Notoginseng!"


    Mu Hengyuan was shocked. Someone hade to attack them.


    "We, the Sword Heart Sect, have no grievances with the Vast Gold Sect. Why attack us?"


    He had to pretend to be confused. Otherwise, if they destroyed a sect''s residence, the Sword Heart Sect would not want to admit to such a crime, even if they were strong. Strictly speaking, Yu Hong was not a direct culprit, as he did not act directly. It was the demon spirit that caused the eruption of magma. Mu Hengyuan was not that stupid.


    "No grievances? Hmph! Yu Hong, that old man, triggered the magma, destroying my Vast Gold Sect''s residence. No grievances? No grievances? We have a life-and-death feud! If we don''t destroy your Sword Heart Sect...I will never give up!"


    Mu Hengyuan knew that it was useless to say anything. The other party''s tone and hatred could not be resolved in a few words.


    "Since that''s the case..e on! Our Sword Heart Sect''s people are not easily frightened!"


    Mu Hengyuan didn''t waste any more words and immediately gave the order for the sect''s disciples to enter the control position of the sword formation, ready to counterattack at any time.


    Foundation Establishment Ancestor, as well as cultivators in the Foundation Building stage and even some Qi Refinement Great Perfection disciples, entered the formation control position. The entire sword formation required more than two hundred people to control. Such a sword formation could unleash tremendous power.


    In order to enhance the power of the mountain protection formation, about half of the cultivators in the Sword Heart Sect entered the sword formation. A sword formation controlled by someone and an unmanned sword formation were twopletely different concepts.


    An unmanned sword formation had great power, but it was very rough and consumed a lot of energy.


    A sword formation controlled by someone not only had great power but was also finely detailed and consumed the least amount of energy, reducing it by half or even seventy percent. At the same time, it could resist multiple attacks.


    Due to the protection of the sword formation, cultivators who controlled the formation in the sword formation could generally not be injured.Ban Jin, Sha Shen, and Oni took turns attacking the Mountain Protection Formation, but even as three Yuan Ying stage old monsters, they could not truly shake the sword formation. The Cultivators of the Heart Sect did note out to fight, allowing the other side to attack. They all knew that with this level of attack, the Heart Sect was as steady as a mountain.


    This attacksted for three days and three nights.


    The Cultivators of the entire Heart Sect were also annoyed, but even so, the higher-ups of the Heart Sect did not decide to go out to fight, continuing to act like cowardly turtles, confident in wearing down their opponents'' patience.


    After three days and nights of continuous attacks, Sha Shen and the others also showed signs of fatigue. This kind of attack was the most torturous, and because they could not see any results, it was exhausting.


    "Last wave of attacks...let''s all attack together!"


    Thebined strength of the three caused the light shield formed by the sword formation to violently shake, and each of the defending Cultivators went all out, resisting thebined attack of the three Yuan Ying old monsters.


    When the attack ended, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The defending Cultivators had also exhausted most of their true qi and rushed to recover.


    "Are you ready?" Sha Shen asked.


    "Ready!" Ban Jin showed an excited expression.


    "No problem, let''s go!" Oni said.


    The three immediately turned into three sword lights and shot outwards, with a little red radiance shooting out from Sha Shen''s hand, and Qi¨¡n L¨¦i made a move.


    Qi¨¡n L¨¦i was condensed from the true Gang extreme yang qi and could only be refined by those with great power.


    It was the size of an egg, round, with countlessyers of prohibition seals on top, and a bright red color. There were asional shes of silver lightning inside.


    After Qi¨¡n L¨¦i was released, it quickly expanded, and the prohibition seals on its surface quickly copsed. When it met the sword formation, it erupted instantly.


    Crackle...Boom!


    The ground shook and the mountains trembled.


    Mi Xiaojing had been practicing in his room for the past few days and, although there were constant explosions outside, he had be ustomed to it over time. Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo were also practicing in their rooms.


    Suddenly, a thunderous explosion sounded overhead, and in an instant, the entire house shook violently, followed by the copse of the roof.


    He quickly pounced and fell on Mu Xiaoyin, while grabbing Luo Bo and bringing him over, shouting, "Open!"


    In an instant, the falling bricks and wood were shattered by the true words, turning into countless small pieces falling down. The three of them were covered in dust.


    This explosion not only frightened people but also caused Qingmu Peak, where Mi Xiaojing was, to shake violently. Of the nine peaks, only one remained motionless, and the other eight were all shaking violently.


    Within the sect area, due to the sword formation blocking it, no one was injured for the time being, but all the Cultivators defending the formation, except for Mu Hengyuan and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, were injured. The Foundation Establishment stage Cultivators were okay, but the injury to the Qi Refining stage Cultivators was a bit more severe.


    The most miserable were the low-level Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, all of whom were heavily injured, with half of them falling into aa.


    Mu Hengyuan stared at the explosion in the air and had already recognized what kind of attack it was.


    Qi¨¡n L¨¦i!

 Chapter 46: Heavy casualties

    <h4>Chapter 46: Heavy casualties</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin''s face was cold as she said, "I didn''t expect them to use Jiquan Lei!"


    Mu Hengyuan replied, "Yes, if they use a few more Jiquan Lei... our sword formation will be in danger..."


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "That''s impossible... Jiquan Lei can only be refined by cultivators at or above thebined stage. Such powerful Jiquan Lei can only be refined by Loose Immortals!"


    Indeed, the Sword Heart Sect''s mountain protection formation, which turned nine peaks into nine swords and then into ten thousand swords, was unbelievably powerful. Even if it was Jiquan Lei refined by a Loose Immortal, one could not destroy this kind of sword formation with just one.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s face was cold. "They''ve gone too far!" She rushed out of the sword formation, regardless of everything. This blow was too infuriating and had injured so many disciples and followers.


    Mo Chentian also arrived. He didn''t have time to stop Mu Xiaoyin and was afraid that she might have an ident, so he followed her out of the sword formation.


    Mu Hengyuan knew how powerful Radix Notoginseng was. It was a master at the Yuan Ying stage. With the strength of Mu Xiaoyin and Mo Chentian, it was difficult to resist. He also flew out of the formation.


    Due to the outbreak of Jiquan Lei, the dark clouds over the Sword Heart Sect''s sky werepletely dispersed, leaving a huge hole. The sunlight shone in, and there were rolling clouds around. A huge beam of light was particrly eye-catching. With the sword formation shaking violently, countless sword shadows were flickering and shining, making it incredibly spectacr.


    Mu Xiaoyin rushed out of the formation and found that there was no one outside. The trio of Radix Notoginseng had long since flown away.


    Soon, Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian caught up.


    "Did they run away?"


    Mo Chentian said incredulously.


    Mu Hengyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Vast Gold Sect had three masters at the Yuan Ying stage. With their strength, they could cope with difficulties. However, if they relied on the sword formation, they could still manage. Before Elder Yu Hong recovered from his illness, their strength would be rtively weaker. As long as they refined the Bnce Pill and let Yu Hong recover hisbat power, they would not have to worry about the Vast Gold Sect.


    Mu Xiaoyin stared into the distance for a while before saying, "We must refine the Bnce Pill! Otherwise, we''ll be too passive!"


    Mo Chentian sighed, "There are too few Pill Masters in the Grass-Benevolence Hall. This time, so many disciples were injured. Whether it''s high-level Spirit Pills or low-level ones, there''s a great shortage!"


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Let''s go back and save people first!"


    The three of them helplessly turned back and immediately directed their disciples and followers to begin treating the wounded.


    **********


    Mi Xiaojing and the others had already moved to the mountain cave to live. The roof of the hut had copsed halfway and could no longer be inhabited. Before they could settle down, a servant came to notify Mu Xiaoyin and Mi Xiaojing to go to the Grass-Benevolence Hall.Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin rushed to Grass-Benevolence Hall, where chaos had already ensued. Cultivators of low levels were lying everywhere, and the various rooms were filled with injured people. The air was permeated with a strong smell of blood, and many low-level cultivators were constantly vomiting blood due to internal injuries.


    A small number of cultivators even fell into demonic cultivation. Mi Xiaojing remained expressionless, and he even felt a little pleased in his heart. This was retribution!


    A group of low-level disciples and alchemy apprentices from Grass-Benevolence Hall were quickly summoned.


    Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin were among this group of people, and they did not speak. However, the people around them were discussing in a flurry.


    "So many people were injured this time... I heard that even the spirit pills and medicine stored in the sect are not enough..."


    "Why did they call us here...?"


    "I don''t know..."


    "I heard that even Foundation Establishment Ancestor was injured this time!"


    "Yes, yes... so many people were injured!"


    "Even Yuanying Ancestor broke through the sword formation, but the enemy still escaped..."


    Mi Xiaojing only listened with his ears perked up, while Mu Xiaoyin was clearly a little panicked, her face turning pale. She grabbed onto Mi Xiaojing''s sleeve, not knowing what to say.


    After a moment, several people walked out.


    Master Alchemist Chen Shouyi, Alchemist Hong Qing, Grass-Benevolence Hall steward Guan Shangli, and a pale, tall and thin middle-aged woman who was also an alchemist from Grass-Benevolence Hall named Li Huai.


    The number of alchemists that Sword Heart Sect had was very small, and their status in the sect was very high because there were only a few people who were truly dedicated to alchemy in the entire sect.


    Guan Shangli said, "Everyone, quiet down!"


    Suddenly, the noisy voices gradually died down, and everyone''s gaze turned to these few people.


    Guan Shangli cleared his throat and said, "We have called everyone here this time to announce something. Chen Lao, please speak."


    Chen Shouyi''s position in Grass-Benevolence Hall was that of an elder, and his words carried a lot of weight.


    "Please go ahead..."


    Guan Shangli nodded and continued, "Um, it''s very simple. Because the sect needs it, we need to select disciples from among you to learn alchemy. The sect is currently very short on low-level spirit pills and medicine, and we are also short on alchemists in Grass-Benevolence Hall. Therefore, we need to select four disciples with alchemy talent."


    Suddenly, there was amotion, and everyone''s faces showed eager expressions.


    This was an opportunity!Alchemy masters hold a high position in the sect, but the Sword Heart Sect has never paid much attention to cultivating alchemy disciples. It has always been controlled by a few alchemy masters. Due to the problem of material resources, the fewer alchemy masters there are, the more materials they have to practice with. However, this time ispletely different. Many disciples were injured, and the stock of elixirs cannot sustain them. Plus, they don''t know how the Vast Gold Sect will go crazy, so they must stock up on enough spirit pills and medicine.


    Mo Chentian personally spoke and said that they must cultivate enough alchemy masters, especially those who refine low-level spirit pills. This is why they have this selection assessment.


    Anyone can sign up as long as they are low-level cultivators or pill servants.


    Of course, people like Mu Xiaoyin, who have not entered the world of cultivation, cannot participate. Alchemy requires support from true qi. Without true qi, how can they refine pills?


    Mu Xiaoyin pulled on Mi Xiaojing''s sleeve and whispered, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother, this is an opportunity, don''t miss it..."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded. He had the alchemy experience passed down by Wang Weijun. Of course, he wanted to try it out, especially since elixirs are scarce in the Sword Heart Sect. It''s extremely difficult to obtain them from the sect.


    Guan Shangli continued, "Starting from the Materia Medica for the first selection."


    The so-called Materia Medica is the knowledge of spirit herbs and medicine. If they don''t even recognize herbs, they can''t talk about refining pills.


    "There are ten spots avable. If you want to be a Pill Master, the first step is the Materia Medica. If you haven''t studied it, don''t participate in the assessment."


    Just this point made half of the people in the hall dumbfounded. Many of them only know a few scattered spirit herbs and have not systematically studied them. It should be noted that the entire Grass-Benevolence Hall does not value the cultivation of alchemy disciples.


    Guan Shangli said, "Those who don''t have confidence can leave now."


    At least one-third of the people left the hall, including Mu Xiaoyin. She is not a cultivator and naturally cannot participate in the assessment.


    Thanks to the support and rewards from readers such as Linghu Mingxin, Zuishenchu, and Mokuang Shengshen!

 Chapter 47: Assessment

    <h4>Chapter 47: Assessment</h4>


    Guan Shangli watched as everyone left, a cold smile on his face. As the Pill Master of Grass-Benevolence Hall, despite their internal conflicts, they would unite when it came to the interests of the Hall. When Mo Chentian spoke, they dared not disobey, but they could still secretly oppose it.


    So the more ipetent the disciples were, the happier they were.


    All the disciples were unaware of this twisted mentality. When they saw a huge opportunity, everyone was excited. Of course, many were also disappointed because they had not studied enough and were unable to pass even with ast-minute effort, resulting in arge number of failures.


    When the assessment became difficult for the disciples, everyone was miserable.


    Sure enough, there were four tables set up, and the disciples lined up to be assessed one by one. Mi Xiaojing also lined up and stood in the middle. The assessment was notplicated: the Pill Master presented ten kinds of spiritual herbs for identification, and the person being assessed had to recognize at least eight to pass.


    Four people were assessed at once in a random allocation. Mi Xiaojing saw that Chen Zhong hade to Chen Shouyi''s table. Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou had been provoked by Mi Xiaojing before, and had not dared to challenge him again. Mu Xiaoyin had told Mi Xiaojing that these two were disciples of Hong Qing, who had always been at odds with Chen Shouyi. Although they were both Pill Masters, since Chen Shouyi''s Foundation Establishment, they had drifted apart. Out of envy, jealousy, and hatred, Hong Qing had done many small things.


    From being senior and junior brothers to being uncle and nephew, how could Hong Qing ept this change in status?


    Chen Zhong was assigned to Chen Shouyi''s table for assessment, and his face turned pale. He knew that his master and Chen Shouyi were at odds and sighed in his heart, but could only sit down honestly. Chen Shouyi nced at him and casually wiped the table. In an instant, ten materials appeared, with only three of them being herbs, and the others being strange and rare things, including a small bottle of powder and a bottle of liquid, both of which were contained in a transparent ss bottle.


    Chen Zhong was dumbfounded. He had studied herbs, but was unfamiliar with the other materials. He quickly recognized the three herbs, but was unable to recognize the others, so he had to guess.


    "You are Hong Qing''s nephew?"


    Chen Zhong nervously replied, "Yes..."


    Chen Shouyi turned his head to look at Hong Qing, sneered, and said, "How did you learn the Materia Medica? There are ten materials in total, and you only recognized three...you can''t even recognize one of the others! Your talent is so foolish, you''re unqualified!"


    After scolding him, Chen Zhong got up and left, staggering.


    Hong Qing heard everything clearly, and his face turned iron-blue. However, he was unable to intervene in the senior''s reprimand. After all, Chen Shouyi was a Pill Master and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even Hong Qing himself had to call him "Master Uncle" now. He gritted his teeth and saw Mi Xiaojing.


    "You,e here...for assessment!"


    Mi Xiaojing was shocked, knowing that it was not good, but he could not escape now. He knew that this guy was going to vent his anger on him.


    Chen Shouyi''s eyes turned cold. He understood what Hong Qing wanted to do and held his arms, leaning against the table. He said calmly, "Hong nephew, the assessment must be fair. I''m watching!"


    Hong Qing was so angry that he almost exploded, but he tried to suppress his anger and said coldly, "Of course, I will treat every assessed disciple fairly!"


    Chen Shouyi nodded and said, "Okay, I''m watching you assess him!"Hong Qing''s mind was turning over, he thought that it would be easy to prevent Mi Xiaojing from passing, the only thing was to use what means to make things difficult, and the key was not to give Chen Shouyi any handle, which required some skill.


    Ten materials, they must be recorded in the pharmacopoeia, and there are many types of pharmacopoeias. The current assessment is based on the primary pharmacopoeia, but at least five of the ten materials used by Chen Shouyi are recorded in the intermediate pharmacopoeia. Therefore, if Hong Qing uses materials from other pharmacopoeias to test Mi Xiaojing, he believes that Chen Shouyi has no reason to intervene.


    Hong Qing pped his storage bag, and a processed herb was taken out and ced on the table. He said lightly, "Name the herb, its function, and... what kind of pill is it used to refine?"


    Chen Shouyi''s face became even colder. This kind of assessment was good enough if they could just say the name, but this bastard added so much content.


    Other disciples were also dumbfounded. What should they do when two ipatible pill masters confront each other?


    Guan Shangli was even more headache-inducing. He was the steward of Grass-Benevolence Hall, but he couldn''t control these two people. He quietly called a subordinate and gave a few instructions, then waited helplessly.


    Mi Xiaojing just nced at it.


    "Jin Di Hu, the ten-year-old one is the best, bitter and cold in nature, and mostly grows in cool ces on cliffs. It is one of the main herbs used to refine the Yuanqi Pill, Baicao Pill, and also an auxiliary herb for the Foundation Establishment Pill."


    Hong Qing''s face changed, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Shouyi''s mouth. Neither of them expected that Mi Xiaojing could answer so easily.


    Putting away Jin Di Hu, Hong Qing took out a bottle of pale red liquid and said, "Name the liquid and its function."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Can I take a look at it?"


    Hong Qing gestured with his hand.


    Mi Xiaojing reached out and took the ss bottle. It was a small bottle the size of a palm, made of extremely pure ss, and the liquid inside could be clearly seen. He said, "Can I open it?"


    Hong Qing sneered and said, "If you''re not afraid of being poisoned to death, go ahead!"


    Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaojing knew what it was.


    "Poisonous Beauty Flower, this is the liquid extracted from the Poisonous Beauty Flower. It should be used to refine the Hundred Poison Pill."


    Hong Qing was stunned, and even the disciples were shocked. They had basically never heard of the name of the Hundred Poison Pill.


    Chen Shouyi was also surprised. He didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to be able to reveal it in one fell swoop.


    "What is this bottle?"


    Hong Qing took out another bottle of thick liquid. The liquid was ck, with light green dots floating inside.


    Chen Shouyi''s face sank, and he hummed slightly.


    Hong Qing''s face turned pale, but he didn''t back down. He just stared at Mi Xiaojing.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing didn''t pick up the ss bottle, but leaned forward and looked at it for a moment.


    All the disciples and students were stunned. They had never seen this thing before.


    "This is not a spiritual medicine, nor a spiritual herb, nor an extract. It is the Green Night Dance, a kind of spirit insect that specializes in devouring various small insects on spiritual herbs. It is a rare spiritual insect used to cultivate spiritual herbs."


    The pharmacopoeia also records it, but only mentions the Green Night Dance when recording a certain spiritual herb, so Hong Qing did not make a mistake in the question, but this kind of question was simply too difficult.


    Then there were five strange and rare materials, and Mi Xiaojing answered them almost effortlessly, speaking in great detail. Some of the content was even heard for the first time by Hong Qing.

 Chapter 48: First Alchemy Attempt

    <h4>Chapter 48: First Alchemy Attempt</h4>


    When Mi Xiaojing said the name and function of the eighth material, Hong Qing''s face turned red and green.


    Chen Shouyiughed loudly and said, "There are eight kinds, you passed the assessment. Alright, you can step back and wait on the side!"


    The waiting disciples were in an uproar. It was too exaggerated. A low-level cultivator actually knew so much about alchemy. It was unbelievable.


    Hong Qing was really angry and wanted to retaliate against Chen Shouyi, but he did not expect Mi Xiaojing''s knowledge to be so profound. He ended up beingughed at by Chen Shouyi. Not only did he hate Chen Shouyi even more, he also hated Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing bowed and did not say a word, quickly retreating to the side.


    After everyone finished the assessment, only seven people passed. Even the ten spots were not filled. It was evident howcking and failed the Grass-Benevolence Hall was in cultivating disciples for alchemy.


    Mi Xiaojing was the best of the seven. Among Chen Shouyi''s assessments, one person did not pass. Among Hong Qing''s assessments, only Mi Xiaojing passed. The other people did not pass. At Guan Shangli''s assessment, four people passed and the other two were passed by the alchemist Li Huai.


    When Guan Shangli and Li Huai set the assessment, it was rtively easy. If it was Chen Shouyi and Hong Qing assessing, these six people would not have passed either.


    Guan Shangli''s face did not look good, but the sect''s missions always had to bepleted. He said, "The real assessment is next. You have alreadye into contact with alchemy, so this test is to refine a pill within three days. Even if it is the lowest-level Qi Refining Pill, three days'' time and three portions of spirit herbs. As long as you seed once, you will pass. You can then enter the pill room to refine pills. All materials will be provided by the sect."


    In fact, there was only Mi Xiaojing who had not really refined pills. He had the knowledge passed down by Wang Weijun but had not actually done it. Other disciples, including many eliminated disciples, had attempted to refine pills and even seeded in refining spirit pills.


    Therefore, even if the sect leader spoke and the sect needed arge number of spirit pills, the high-level members of the Grass-Benevolence Hall still did not want to bring out more alchemists. Except for the unexpected Mi Xiaojing, the qualifications of the others were all average.


    During the assessment, Wang Weijun had already appeared in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. Actually, Mi Xiaojing did not recognize the spirit insect Green Night Dance, but was recognized by Wang Weijun and taught how to answer. After all, Mi Xiaojing was only ten years old and did not have such rich knowledge.


    But this kind of difficulty was nothing to Wang Weijun. It was too simple.


    Qi Refining Pill.


    It was a low-level pill. Over 90% of people who wanted to learn alchemy chose to refine the Qi Refining Pill as their first pill. It was easy to form the pill and the heat control was good. It was the simplest pill. If one could not refine this pill, then there was basically no hope for alchemy.


    Mi Xiaojing was assigned to a pill room, a small cave with a fire pit, a junior pill furnace, three portions of Qi Refining Pill herbs, and three days to refine the pill. There was also a recipe for refining the Qi Refining Pill, which recorded how to refine it. However, the method in this recipe was quite rudimentary.


    Mi Xiaojing looked at it once, and Wang Weijun told him to throw away the recipe directly. ording to Wang Weijun, this thing was full of loopholes. The method was not wrong, but the possibility of forming the pill using this method was reduced by half. If one was a beginner, then failure was almost 100%.Mi Xiaojing has a ready-made method for refining pills, which is the extremely advanced pill refining method taught by Wang Weijun. Refining Qi-gathering Pills is really a small task.


    Wang Weijun only reminded him a few words, then disappeared. He was toozy to watch Mi Xiaojing refine pills. He had no interest in this level of pill refining.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was full of enthusiasm. This was his first time refining pills, his first timeing into contact with the pill furnace, the fire, and the pill form.


    He had a strange feeling. When his hand touched the pill furnace, a familiar feeling arose, as if he had touched it a thousand times before. The extremely familiar feeling and the extremely unfamiliar feeling intertwined, making him a little confused.


    He was the only one in the pill room, and the door of the pill room was closed. It would only open on the third day to let him out, to prevent cheating.


    During the assessment period, each disciple wore a disciple''s robe, and was not allowed to carry storage items, pill refining materials, or even Qi-gathering Pills. Each disciple was searched.


    Mi Xiaojing began to check the pill furnace, the fire, and the three herbs.


    The pill furnace was an extremely ordinary green gold furnace, the simplest pill furnace. The fire control restriction at the mouth of the furnace was very simple, and the temperature of the fire could only be used to refine low-level pills, which were used by Qi-gathering stage cultivators. The Ling Pills used by Foundation Building stage cultivators could not be refined with this fire and furnace, even if his pill refining level was higher.


    Mi Xiaojing began to preheat the pill furnace. At first, he felt unfamiliar, but soon he became proficient.


    In primary pill refining, preheating the pill furnace was generally the first step, followed by controlling the fire spirit pattern on the pill furnace, feeding, coarse refining, fine refining, until pill condensation, and finally pill formation. Advanced pill refining also had a step called pill nurturing, but Qi-gathering Pills did not require this.


    Each step was like carved in his mind. Pill refining with inheritance and without inheritance were two different things. Without inheritance, one had to explore step by step, and the possibility of failure was extremely high. With inheritance, as long as one was proficient, pill condensation and pill formation were not a big problem.


    Having inheritance and not having inheritance in pill refining each had advantages and disadvantages. With inheritance, one could simply follow the steps without any surprises, and there would be no new discoveries. However, pill refining that one explored oneself often had unexpected surprises, and it was very likely that strange pills would be produced, and new pills might appear.


    Mi Xiaojing had no innovative ideas, he just needed to refine pills ording to his memory. He needed pills, not anything else.


    The first furnace of pills was sessful!


    Three Qi-gathering Pills were condensed in total.


    It was a very ordinary Qi-gathering Pill, with no surprises. It was a low-grade Qi-gathering Pill with many impurities. However, Mi Xiaojing was already very satisfied to be able to condense and form pills for the first time.


    After carefully thinking about the pill refining process, Mi Xiaojing found that he had made many mistakes. After pondering for a day, he finally started to refine the second furnace of pills.


    Pill condensation!


    Seven Qi-gathering Pills were condensed, and the quality of this batch reached medium-grade.


    There was still one furnace of pills left. Mi Xiaojing basically figured out the process, and after pondering for a day, he found some shorings. He was looking forward to the third furnace of pills.

 Chapter 49: Grade

    <h4>Chapter 49: Grade</h4>


    In the third furnace of pill refinement, a strong fragrance wafted into Mi Xiaojing''s nose. He was instantly invigorated as the furnace produced only one pill, a thumb-sized pill with seven pill patterns floating on its surface. Mi Xiaojing knew that if there were ten pill patterns, then the pill would be a top-grade pill.


    Middle-grade pills would have at most five pill patterns, and they were mostly blurry and difficult to discern. Unlike top-grade pills, their pill patterns were clear and their fragrance was strong.


    Wang Weijun was also surprised that a top-grade pill was produced in the first round of alchemy. He did not know that Mi Xiaojing liked to control things with precision during cultivation, and alchemy was a process that required the most control.


    Satisfied with the spirit pill in his hand, Mi Xiaojing knew that he had to wait another day before he could leave. Once he left, everything would be inspected, and the top-grade spirit pill would be discovered, which would not be easy to exin.


    Mi Xiaojing put the top-grade spirit pill in his mouth and started to cultivate. Originally, his progress in cultivating the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was extremely slow, but when the qi-refining pill turned into liquid and slid down his throat, a huge amount of spiritual qi spread out.


    The spiritual qi and medicinal power released by a spirit pill with pill patterns would spread out as the cultivation progressed, and the speed of release could be adjusted ording to the progress of cultivation. This was an effect that middle-grade and low-grade spirit pills did not possess.


    Once a spirit pill reached the top-grade, whether it was a low-level pill or a middle-level pill, it was an invaluable treasure.


    Although middle-grade pills were also good, there was still trading between cultivators. As for low-grade pills, they were the mostmonly used pills by cultivators. Even low-level cultivators treated them as treasures, more precious than spirit stones.


    The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art required a huge amount of spiritual qi to sustain it. When the liquid entered his stomach, Mi Xiaojing immediately felt a difference. The magical technique that was difficult to push forward suddenly became extremely easy, and then he realized that his true qi seemed to have taken on some kind of attribute.


    It took half a day to consume the top-grade qi-refining pill. Mi Xiaojing still had seven middle-grade qi-refining pills in his hand, which could not be taken out. He ate them like fried beans, one after another, and finished all seven of them in less than half a day.


    Compared to top-grade pills, middle-grade pills were far inferior. One top-grade pill was definitely worth more than a dozen middle-grade pills, and as for low-grade pills, the gap was even wider.


    There were only three low-grade qi-refining pills left, but even so, Mi Xiaojing had no intention of keeping them. He casually threw one into his mouth, always wanting to taste the vor of a low-grade pill."Mm, low-grade pills are really not good, with mixed spiritual qi and poor medicinal power... Well, I won''t eat this kind of pill unless I have no other choice in the future."


    If the cultivators of the Sword Heart Sect heard this, they would probably want to kill him. Although the quality of low-grade pills is not good, many cultivators still treasure them and keep them hidden. They may only take one when they reach a certain bottleneck. If there is any other way, they won''t use pills to break through. It''s just too rare.


    As for foundation establishment pills, they are even rarer. Every time the Sword Heart Sect refines foundation establishment pills or buys them from the market, it is a big deal in the sect.


    If a cultivator reaches the great perfection stage in the Qi Refining period, as long as their aptitude is not too bad, generally, one high-grade foundation establishment pill can sessfully establish a foundation and enter the world of cultivation. This hurdle has stopped too many people.


    Foundation establishment pills are also low-grade pills, but they are the top-grade pills among low-grade pills. Among low-grade pills, foundation establishment pills are the rarest and most difficult to refine. It''s not that the materials are hard to find, but the sess rate of refining is too low.


    Even if they seed in refining, most of them can only get some low-grade pills. At least two low-grade pills are needed to have a small chance of sess in establishing a foundation. If they still can''t establish a foundation after taking the third low-grade pill, then that person will never have the chance to establish a foundation. If they are lucky enough to get a medium-grade pill, the chance of establishing a foundation will greatly increase. As for high-grade pills, they are even rarer.


    In the entire Sword Heart Sect, the number of high-grade foundation establishment pills refined in a year does not exceed six to ten, and they must be refined by the master-level expert Chen Shouyi. Other pill masters, if they are lucky, may get one or two, but they often have to consume a lot of materials, which is not cost-effective.


    There are three grades of pills: high, medium, and low, as well as supreme pills. Only masters can refine high-grade pills, and only grandmasters can refine supreme pills. In the entire Sword Heart Sect, only Chen Shouyi has a rtively high probability of refining high-grade pills. Therefore, he has a high status in the sect, even though he is only a cultivator in the foundation establishment stage.


    ording to Mi Xiaojing''s first attempt at alchemy, if the Sword Heart Sect knew about it, it would be a great event. However, the process was too frightening, so Mi Xiaojing didn''t n to reveal it. Keeping quiet and getting rich was the best choice, especially since he had no sense of belonging to the Sword Heart Sect and was even an enemy of the sect. There was no need to let them know about his alchemy skills.


    Three days passed quickly, and Mi Xiaojing still had two low-grade pills left. He had alreadypleted the task of refining Qi Refining pills.The door of the pill room opened, and Mi Xiaojing walked into the lobby of Grass-Benevolence Hall. He noticed that the other six alchemy apprentices all had unhappy expressions.


    Chen Shouyi, Hong Qing, and Guan Shangli were there.


    Guan Shangli said, "Alright, everyone hand over the Qi Refining Pills you refined."


    Seeing that no one else was moving, Mi Xiaojing took out two Qi Refining Pills and said, "I only sessfully refined one furnace, which produced two Qi Refining Pills."


    Suddenly, the six people''s gazes were like sharp swords, staring at Mi Xiaojing with surprise and anger on their faces. If none of the seven of them had seeded, then Grass-Benevolence Hall would have to assess them again in another way. They couldn''t have no one seed, right? With Mi Xiaojing''s sess, their hopes plummeted.


    Guan Shangli looked at Mi Xiaojing with some surprise. He didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to be able to refine pills, even if they were just the most basic Qi Refining Pills. It takes dozens to even over ten attempts to have a chance at sess.


    .


    "You''re lucky to have two low-grade Qi Refining Pills. Haha."


    Just with these two low-grade Qi Refining Pills, the cost of this attempt was covered, and they even made a profit. This is why alchemists are wealthy; as long as they seed, they can obtain many resources.


    This is also why Chen Shouyi and the others want to control Grass-Benevolence Hall. They don''t care about cultivating disciples at all. Now that they have one, and the others are all unqualified, the three of them have a tacit understanding, and even Hong Qing and Chen Shouyi, who don''t get along, didn''t say anything.

 Chapter 50: Apprentice Pill Master

    <h4>Chapter 50: Apprentice Pill Master</h4>


    Guan Shangli looked serious and stared at the other six people, saying, "Hand over your results! Don''t tell me none of you seeded!"


    The six people who originally looked at Mi Xiaojing with hatred suddenly turned pale, and none of them had seeded.


    "Master, I...I didn''t..."


    "Uncle Master, neither did I...I almost seeded. When I was forming the foundation, I didn''t do it well and failed. Uncle Master, please give me another chance..."


    "Guan Uncle Master, I was just one step away from forming the pill. Just a little bit more...Guan Uncle Master, please give me another chance. I will definitely seed!"


    "Guan disciple, he just got lucky. In real alchemy, he may not be better than me! I want topete with him again."


    A disciple raised his head with a look of dissatisfaction.


    Suddenly, Chen Shouyi spoke up.


    "You''re better than him? Alright, show us your results from this alchemy!"


    The disciple was suddenly at a loss for words and stuttered, "I...I don''t have it...I want...topete again..."


    "Compete again? I gave you three chances and you didn''t catch any of them. You think you can change the assessment results at will? Get out of here. Grass-Benevolence Hall doesn''t need someone like you who thinks too highly of themselves. Go to the menialbor hall!"


    The disciple''s face turned pale. He trembled for a long time, but Chen Shouyi was a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, whose status was much higher than his. Even if Guan Shangli, a disciple in the building foundation period, wanted to scold him, he had to listen obediently.


    Guan Shangli said, "Alright, go report to the menialbor hall and hand over your work here."


    The person left dejectedly, not daring to argue. When Chen Shouyi scolded him, he suddenly realized that Mi Xiaojing was Chen Shouyi''s pill boy! He was questioning him. Wasn''t that asking for death?


    Hong Qing hesitated for a moment, tightly closed his mouth, and said nothing. Watching the disciple being driven out of Grass-Benevolence Hall, he knew it wasn''t worth opposing Chen Shouyi''s decision for this kind of thing.


    Chen Shouyi said, "Anyone else? Any questions?"


    The other five disciples cursed in their hearts, but none of them dared to question again.


    "Master, our level is not enough. We have no objections..."


    "Yes, yes, no objections, no objections, hehe."


    Several disciples spoke up.


    Mi Xiaojing felt amused in his heart, but he still stood calmly on the side, silently observing. He knew that he had already obtained a spot in alchemy.


    Chen Shouyi''s lips moved slightly, and then Mi Xiaojing saw Hong Qing and Guan Shangli''s lips moving as well, but no sound came out. He knew that these were the high-level members of Grass-Benevolence Hallmunicating with each other. This kind of ability could only be learned after building the foundation.


    After a moment, Guan Shangli nodded continuously.


    Chen Shouyi smiled, "You can announce it. You''re the disciple in charge."


    Guan Shangli nodded and said, "Alright, you, and you, and you...you three passed. The other two still need to continue studying."


    Mi Xiaojing almostughed out loud. The two who were eliminated were the ones who questioned at the beginning. All three of the silent disciples passed.Two disciples who were eliminated had pale faces. They suddenly understood why they were eliminated. However, as low-level disciples, even if they were wronged, they must ept it. Otherwise, they would be like the first disciple who was expelled from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, not to mention alchemy, but directly driven out. It is important to know that the Grass-Benevolence Hall is a good position in the Heart Sect.


    Four people passed the test, and the Sect Leader could be informed for the time being.


    Three disciples had an incredulous expression on their faces. The two disciples at the door were full of regret and sorrow. One of them couldn''t help but p himself. Such a good opportunity flew away, which was simply too frustrating.


    Once passed, they would have the qualification to refine. The materials for low-level pills could be used at any time. The most important thing was that once they seeded in refining, they could keep some pills.


    Guan Shangli said indifferently, "Everyone understands the rules here. I will repeat them again."


    "From now on, you can refine pills and have your own pill room. Well, it''s not exclusive, but as long as you refine pills, you can use the pill room without queuing for reservation."


    "In addition, the materials for refining pills can be obtained. Remember, the sess rate of refining pills is directly rted to obtaining materials."


    "For example, for the Qi-Refining Pill, ten materials can be exchanged for one Qi-Refining Pill. That is to say, you need at least one Qi-Refining Pill for ten materials."


    "This is not consideredpleting the task. This is the cost of deducting materials. In addition, ten materials must be handed over to the Grass-Benevolence Hall, two Qi-Refining Pills to me, and one to the pill room as a deduction."


    Except for Mi Xiaojing, the other three listened with changing expressions and felt uneasy. ording to this calction, they needed to refine at least seven pills for ten materials to make a profit. If this requirement could not be met, they would have to find their own materials to refine pills until they met the requirements of the task.


    Mi Xiaojing listened carefully. With his ability,pleting this task would be easy and enjoyable. However, for novice alchemy disciples, this task was very demanding, and there was almost no hope ofpleting it at first.


    The materials for the Qi-Refining Pill were all low-level herbs, and they were cultivated by the Grass-Benevolence Hall themselves, so the cost was very low. But if they purchased them from the Heart Sect''s market, the price was not low. Many disciples who cultivated herbs wouldplete the sect''s tasks and the remaining herbs would be their welfare. They could simply process them and sell them in the market.


    Guan Shangli said a lot, and finally said, "Go and exchange for your identity badge and the clothes specially made for alchemy disciples. In addition, alchemy disciples will receive five low-grade spirit stones per month. Work hard, and I have high hopes for you."


    Chen Shouyi observed carefully and found that three of the four disciples had a bitter expression on their faces. The only one who looked calm was Mi Xiaojing. It was understandable that with three materials and two Qi-Refining Pills, they could make exactly six Qi-Refining Pills with ten materials, which was just enough to break even. No wonder this child treated it calmly.


    If Chen Shouyi knew that Mi Xiaojing could refine high-grade pills, he would have controlled him long ago. But now, extortion was still possible.


    "Mi Xiaojing, for every ten sets of materials, besides the task of six pills, you also need to give me two pills,"


    Xiaojing was about to agree when Wang Weijun reminded him in his mind, "Don''t rush to agree, he''s tricking you!"

 Chapter 51: Alchemy task

    <h4>Chapter 51: Alchemy task</h4>


    Suddenly realizing, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but break out in a cold sweat. If he agreed easily, it meant he could easilyplete the task.


    "This...this is difficult toplete..."


    Chen Shouyi thought to himself, "That''s why it''s difficult toplete!" He waved his hand decisively, "It must bepleted. It''s eitherpleting the task or not participating at all. You choose!"


    The other three alchemy disciples showed expressions of delight, while Hong Qing showed an envious and jealous expression. Although he didn''t care about these Qi Refining Pills, even mosquito legs were still meat! In the future, it could be used to win people''s hearts or reward others without spending anything. Why couldn''t he get this good thing?


    "Okay, I agree...but the time should be more lenient. I don''t know if I canplete it."


    "That''s okay, don''t worry. If you can do it, no one will dare to bully you in the future!"


    He even nced at Hong Qing as he spoke.


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "No one else will bully me, but you will! You old bastard!" Although he thought he could easilyplete the task, he was really unhappy about being directly extorted like this.


    Hong Qing was furious, but he didn''t show any change in expression on his face. He just looked deeply at Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing was frightened by his gaze and suddenly understood that Hong Qing had his eyes on him.


    Guan Shangli then took out a prescription for alchemy and said, "The Qi Refining Pills are only used for testing and assessment. What you will refine below are not Qi Refining Pills, but Clear Tranquility Pills, which are low-level elixirs used for healing. You mustplete the task within ten days...this is specified. As for what elixir to refine specifically, we''ll talk about itter!"


    "Also, Hong Senior Brother will exin how to refine this elixir to you!"


    Hong Qing''s impatience was clearly evident on his face, but this was the task of Grass-Benevolence Hall, and he had toplete it.


    Chen Shouyi said lightly, "I''ll be listening on the side. If there are any mistakes, I''ll supplement them."


    Hong Qing began to exin, and the four disciples sat cross-legged on the ground, listening attentively. However, although Mi Xiaojing had his eyes wide open and looked serious to the point of obsession, he was actually talking to Wang Weijun.


    "This kind of crappy teaching is simply garbage. Misleading and useless. Stupid and ignorant. If you don''t understand, don''t talk nonsense. Is this guy trying to kill people with his exnation?"


    A series of curses. Wang Weijun was extremely disdainful. In his opinion, everything Hong Qing said was dog shit, not even worth a penny of value.Mi Xiaojing said, "At least he is an alchemist, and he must have some strength."


    "What strength? He''s a piece of shit! A dog shit alchemist! If you follow his method to refine pills, even an experienced alchemist can only produce low-grade pills."


    Wang Weijun, who looked like a grandmaster of alchemy, criticized Hong Qing''s method of refining pills in Mi Xiaojing''s mind.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Since he''s not good enough, can you tell me how to refine the Clear Tranquility Pill?"


    Wang Weijun was stunned and said helplessly, "Do I have to teach you? You''re such an idiot...anyone can refine any low-grade pill and produce top-grade pills. Is my teaching the same as that dog shit alchemist? That''s an insult to me!"


    The other three disciples were different. They had never refined the Clear Tranquility Pill before, and they listened attentively to every word Hong Qing said. With the memory of cultivators, they could remember every word without forgetting anything. This was the strength of cultivators.


    Once an ordinary person enters cultivation, even if they only reach the Qi Refining stage, they will have the instinct to remember everything they see.


    Remembering this content was not difficult for anyone.


    After two hours, it was almost dark, and Hong Qing finally stopped. He said, "If you have any questions, you can ask...but only one question per person!"


    The three disciples had many questions in their minds, but they could only ask one question each. They were in a dilemma, but they had no choice. Hong Qing said he would answer one question, and that was it. So the three of them quickly discussed and gathered their questions before asking.


    When it was Mi Xiaojing''s turn, he asked a very simple question. After Hong Qing answered, he stood up and said, "Starting tomorrow, you have ten days to produce six Clear Tranquility Pills. You should understand the rules by now."


    Everyone nodded, and Chen Shouyi and Hong Qing left.


    Guan Shangli said, "Well, you were lucky today. In the Heart Sect, opportunities and luck are equally important. You seized the opportunity and had good luck. Work hard from now on, and I believe that someone among you can make further progress."


    "Follow me to get your identity badges and the spirit stones for this month."Mi Xiaojing walked out of Grass-Benevolence Hall and saw Mu Xiaoyin sitting on a stone, her little head nodding forward as if she was about to fall asleep. He felt warmth in his heart, knowing that she had been waiting for him these past few days.


    "Xiaoyin, wake up... your drool is dripping on the ground..."


    Mu Xiaoyin jolted up like a rabbit and eximed, "Who''s drooling? Who? Who''s drooling... Ah, Xiaojun, you''re finally here. Did you pass the test?"


    Before Mi Xiaojing could answer, she continued excitedly, "You don''t know, the whole Grass-Benevolence Hall is buzzing. If you pass, you can be a Pill Master... it''s so thrilling!"


    Helpless, Mi Xiaojing watched her jump around. After a while, she finally calmed down and asked, "By the way, did you pass the test?"


    "Yeah, I''m one of them. I can be an apprentice in Alchemy."


    "Wow... Ah? Ah... Ah..."


    "Who''s making noise outside? Shut up!"


    A loud shout echoed in Grass-Benevolence Hall, scaring Mi Xiaojing. He grabbed Mu Xiaoyin''s hand and ran away. Anyone here could easily kill them both.


    They ran all the way and arrived at the small courtyard. Mi Xiaojing was surprised and asked, "Hey, is the house fixed?"


    Luo Bo ran out and said, "Xiao Mi gege, Xiaoyin jiejie." Following Mi Xiaojing, he became less aggressive. asionally, a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes, a reminder of the pain from his childhood.


    Mi Xiaojing patted his head and asked, "Have you been hungry these past few days?"


    "No, the cafeteria people bring food."


    At that moment, someone carried a box and said, "These are daily necessities for the senior brother from Grass-Benevolence Hall."


    Inside therge camphorwood box were aplete set of Pill Master clothing and some daily necessities. The treatment waspletely different now.


    Mi Xiaojing looked forward to tomorrow when he could finally start practicing Alchemy.

 Chapter 52: On the road

    <h4>Chapter 52: On the road</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing received materials for refining 20 Clear Tranquility Pills, including processed herbs, two purified liquids, and a specially treated spirit fruit. This is theplete set of materials for one Clear Tranquility Pill.


    As an apprentice pill master, he received his first storage bag. In the Heart Sect, only those who have reached the Foundation Building Stage will receive a storage bag from the sect. Although it is not a particrly valuable treasure, it is always in high demand.


    Due to Mi Xiaojing''s status as a pill master, he naturally received a storage bag from the sect. This was the first time he had ever seen one, and he was fascinated by it. The bag, which was only the size of a palm, could hold a lot of things, including the 20 sets of alchemy materials.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was very poor. In addition to these materials, he only received five low-grade spirit stones and some new clothes. He was only able to fill the bag halfway, but he was still very happy.


    The pill room was small, and it was not the same one he had usedst time. There were ten primary pill rooms like this one, and if he didn''t upy one in advance, he would have to wait a long time. Fortunately, they were ordered to refine pills, so they forcefully upied four rooms. Mi Xiaojing also got one of the better pill rooms.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing nned to familiarize himself with alchemy. The first three furnaces of pills were made with some luck and the experience he had inherited. The second time he refined pills, Mi Xiaojing was clearly much more rxed. Wang Weijun didn''t watch him this time, and he was very pleased. Obviously, after this alchemy, Mi Xiaojing''s attitude towards him had improved a lot. He wouldn''t miss this opportunity to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust at any cost.


    Following the inherited memory, Mi Xiaojing used Wang Weijun''s unique alchemy technique to refine pills for the second time. If Chen Shouyi were here, he would have realized that Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy skills were much more advanced than his own.


    The first furnace produced four middle-grade pills, the second furnace produced nine low-grade pills, and the third furnace, using a higher-level technique, produced a top-grade Clear Tranquility Pill.


    Mi Xiaojing used the 20 sets of herbs in just five days, refining pills four times a day on average and spending the rest of his time cultivating. Every morning, he also absorbed some Qianyang Purple Qi.


    After five days, Mi Xiaojing left the pill room. Of course, it was not yet time to turn in the task, so he went straight back to his small courtyard.


    "Xiaoyin, take me to the sect''s market."


    "What are you going to do there?" Mu Xiaoyin asked.


    "I''m going to refine pills. I need to get some materials. I have some spirit stones to exchange for them," Mi Xiaojing said with a smile.Mu Xiaoyin became excited and said, "I want to go too. I''ve been bored staying in the courtyard these days." Luo Bo came over and held Mi Xiaojing''s hand, saying, "Xiao Mi gege, I want to go too..."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Alright, let''s go together."


    It wasn''t easy to go to the market in the Sword Heart Sect. It would take half a day to walk there. Of course, if they flew, it would be much faster. However, unless they had certain flying treasures, Qi refining cultivators couldn''t fly and could only walk honestly.


    Fortunately, the three of them were all practicing and had excellent physical conditions. They were much faster than ordinary people. If ordinary people walked, it would take at least a day and a half or even two days to get there.


    The next morning, Mi Xiaojing and the others absorbed the Qianyang purple energy on the cliff, tidied up a bit, and set off in high spirits. After all, they were all children, and it was rare for them to go out. They were all very excited.


    Qingmu Peak was one of the nine peaks in the core of the Sword Heart Sect, so Mi Xiaojing and the others had to go down the mountain before they could get to the market. Qingmu Peak was over 8,000 meters high, and the top was covered with white snow. Apart from the mountain protection array, no one lived there.


    Mi Xiaojing''s courtyard was located halfway down the mountain. It would take a long time just to walk to the foot of the mountain. They hardly saw anyone along the way. The winding path down the mountain twisted and turned like it had no end, winding through the dense forest.


    Mu Xiaoyin asionally pointed out, "Little junior brother, this is the way to Yuanyang Peak."


    "That''s the way to Liuyun Peak! That''s where the symbol printing hall for refining talismans is located. Most of the disciples there are female... hehe."


    "Look at that mountain peak. Doesn''t it look like a long sword piercing the sky? Hehe, that''s Wenjian Peak, the liveliest ce. Many disciples have to go there toplete their sect missions and receive rewards."


    "Do we have to go there to receive missions too?"


    Mi Xiaojing had never heard of sect missions before.


    Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "We... we don''t have sect missions. We just have to ept missions from the Grass-Benevolence Hall. Of course, if you don''t know how to refine alchemy or cultivate spirit herbs, then you have to ept missions."


    "What happens if we don''t ept missions?"


    "You''ll be punished by thew enforcement hall. You''ll be forced toplete missions. If you can''tplete them, it''ll be... hehe, you''ll regret it."


    "What happens if I ept the mission but don''t do it?"


    Mu Xiaoyin looked at him strangely, then suddenly realized and said, "The consequences will be even more serious. Your cultivation level will be stripped away, and you''ll be an ordinary person again. And even worse, you might even be executed!" Mi Xiaojing was frightened. He understood that to have his cultivation level stripped away meant to lose his abilities as a cultivator and be an ordinary person again. It was a terrible consequence.Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "Junior brother, this has nothing to do with you. You epted the alchemy task, as long as youplete it, you don''t need to go to the Sword Peak to ept tasks."


    The three of them moved very fast and arrived at the foot of the mountain in less than two hours.


    A turbulent stream flowed by, with the sound of water rushing. Mi Xiaojing said, "Let''s take a break." He went to the side of the stream, the water was extremely clear, and he could see the stones and small fish under the water. He washed his face with the water and took a sip. The water was sweet and cool, almost as good as the water from a spiritual spring.


    Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo also washed up. Mu Xiaoyin then said, "Follow the stream upstream, the road is over there. Then we have to cross two mountain ridges to reach the sect''s market."


    "That''s so far away!"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "It''s not that far. The market is a ce where everyone goes. In some ces, many senior brothers and sisters have never been there. Isn''t our Heart Sect big enough?"


    "Yes, it''s really big..."


    Mi Xiaojing also felt emotional. A sect could upy such arge area. Thinking of the Western Expansion Sect, he felt even more emotional. When he was in the Western Expansion Sect, he also thought it was big, butpared to the Heart Sect, it was like a small shrimp and a big fish.

 Chapter 53: Junior Brother Zhang Ke

    <h4>Chapter 53: Junior Brother Zhang Ke</h4>


    The three of them quickly crossed the mountain ridge and arrived at a rtively t area.


    asionally, they woulde across some cultivators on the way, but mostly they were ordinary mortals who would respectfully bow and step aside when they saw the three of them, allowing them to pass first.


    This t ground was quiterge, and they could see many viges and manors.


    More and more ordinary people appeared, and many fields covered in snow could be seen around them. It had been cloudy for the past few days, and the snow had not melted. However, it was not considered cold since there was no wind.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Most of the people living here are mortals. The ce where cultivators live is only on the mountain."


    Various makeshift stalls began to appear on the roadside, including tea stalls, food stalls, and stalls selling daily necessities, all of which were very simple.


    There were also many cultivators wearing low-level disciple clothing, who, like ordinary people, ate, drank tea, and shopped.


    So, this road was quite lively.


    A noisymotion came from ahead, and soon people began to gather around to watch. It was human nature to watch the excitement, and this ce was no exception.


    Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, and Luo Bo were naturally curious, and strictly speaking, Mu Xiaoyin and Mi Xiaojing were teenagers, while Luo Bo was a real child.


    The three of them followed the crowd to watch themotion.


    There were three fierce-looking men surrounding and beating up a person. The man was lying on the ground, holding his head and not making a sound, just curling up his body. The three men took turns kicking and stomping on him.


    The beating was severe, but the man could only groan at most.


    Mu Xiaoyin curiously asked the onlookers, "Uncle, why are they beating him? Did he steal something?"


    The man had been watching the scene of the beating and had not noticed Mu Xiaoyin. He casually replied, "Steal? No, it''s just that they didn''t like him. They''re just beating him up. As long as they don''t kill him..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was stunned. Although she had grown up in the Sword Heart Sect, she had never seen such bullying.


    However, cultivators generally do not interfere in the affairs of mortals unless they know the person or it is a rtive. Otherwise, they would not care about the life and death of mortals.


    "Are you done yet?"


    A deep voice sounded, and the man had been holding his head with both hands, protecting his vital organs while the three men continued to beat him.


    "Oh...of course not! Brothers, let''s keep beating him!"


    The three men surrounded him again, kicking and stomping on him. One of them even found a wooden stick and beat him hard with it.


    The man groaned, "This is too much..."


    Mi Xiaojing''s heart suddenly moved. He suddenly felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn''t react in time because the person speaking had covered his face.


    The three menughed loudly and beat him even more fiercely."Over the line? What do you mean by over the line... damn it, I''ll beat you to death..."


    "Hit him hard, how dare you talk back, keep hitting him!"


    The man suddenly reached out and grabbed the wooden stick that was aimed at his head. He exerted force and the person holding the stick involuntarily loosened his grip as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.


    Immediately after, the man lifted his hand and a burly man was lifted up and flew into the crowd of onlookers, causing several people to fall to the ground together.


    The man flipped over and sat up, the wooden stick in his hand had already swung horizontally.


    The stick cut through the air, making a whining sound. It struck the knee of thest burly man, making a cracking sound as the knee shattered. The wooden stick also broke.


    Mi Xiaojing saw the man''s face and his face changed drastically. He immediately rushed forward.


    The originally fat Zhang Ke had be very thin. Although his expression was not angry, Mi Xiaojing could see his dissatisfaction.


    When they were in Western Expansion Sect, Zhang Ke was Mi Xiaojing''s junior brother. After Western Expansion Sect was destroyed and they were both captured by Sword Heart Sect, they went their separate ways. By chance, Mi Xiaojing entered Grass-Benevolence Hall and sessfully infiltrated it, bing Chen Shouyi''s pill boy. His current status was even more powerful, as he was already an apprentice pill master, higher than the position of an outer disciple.


    Zhang Ke was pitiful. He was also taken away by the people of Grass-Benevolence Hall, but he did not stay in Grass-Benevolence Hall. Instead, he was sent to a manor below and became a gloriousborer, mixed with ordinary people.


    As Zhang Ke had no background and was a person who had robbed others, this meant that he had no status and anyone could bully him. Although his strength as an evolutionary was much stronger than that of ordinary people, he chose to endure and rarely fought back unless the other party went too far.


    In general, Zhang Ke allowed others to beat and scold him and rarely fought back. ording to his thoughts, these people could not kill him. Even if he was hit a few times, it would only hurt for a few days.


    This time, the other party was really over the line. Even Zhang Ke, who had a good temper and was an honest person, could not help but resist.


    When Mi Xiaojing saw Zhang Ke, he was stunned. He never knew that Zhang Ke was so miserable. In an instant, Mi Xiaojing exploded.


    The three people had already been knocked down by Zhang Ke. At this time, someone spoke, "What a daring person!"


    Mi Xiaojing took a step forward, but before he could speak, someone interrupted him with a stern shout.


    Mu Xiaoyin pulled Mi Xiaojing and said, "Junior Brother, don''t interfere..."Before Mi Xiaojing could speak, a low-level Cultivator walked unsteadily towards Zhang Ke. Mi Xiaojing followed suit, while Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t hold him back and could only follow along.


    Zhang Ke saw Mi Xiaojing at a nce and his eyes lit up. But then they dimmed and he shook his head slightly, signaling Mi Xiaojing not toe forward.


    At this moment, Zhang Ke was still afraid of implicating Mi Xiaojing.


    "The one who dares to hit me, do you have the guts? You threee here and continue to fight. If you''re not satisfied with the beating, I''ll beat you three bastards to death..."


    This was a low-level Cultivator. Mi Xiaojing observed him for a moment and saw that he was in the early stage of Qi Refining and almost forty years old. From his dress, he could tell that this person had left the outer sect and was now a steward in some manor or Cultivator''s home. In the eyes of ordinary mortals, this person was unattainable, but in Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, he was just ackey.


    Generally, Cultivators didn''t want to provoke such people because although their strength was weak, they often had powerful people behind them. In the Heart Sect, without a certain status in the sect, one couldn''t afford to hire a Cultivator as a steward, even if that Cultivator was only in the early stage of Qi Refining.


    The onlookers quickly retreated when they saw this persone out, exposing Mi Xiaojing and the others.


    Mi Xiaojing forcefully shook off Mu Xiaoyin''s hand and rushed forward directly.


    The three ordinary mortals had just charged at Zhang Ke when Mi Xiaojing punched and kicked them, adding a word of true speech.


    "Get lost!"

 Chapter 54: Rolled over

    <h4>Chapter 54: Rolled over</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t use his full power with this True Word Spirit Script, as he didn''t want to kill anyone. But with just this gentle word, the man was holding his head and rolling on the ground, his entire mind in chaos. Even after being beaten up badly, it wasn''t as severe as the damage caused by this single word, after all, he was just an ordinary person.


    The steward didn''t expect anyone toe forward, and looking at Mi Xiaojing''s attire, he was quite surprised. This was the typical attire of a Grass-Benevolence Hall disciple, and looking at his identity badge, it was actually the badge of an elite disciple of the sect, also known as an inner disciple.


    Upon closer inspection, he was really scared, because there was a faint white light circle on his identity badge, which symbolized the Pill Furnace. In other words, this person was an apprentice of a Pill Master, and could already practice Alchemy. This was quite impressive, as there weren''t many people in the Heart Sect who could practice Alchemy. Once someone had such an identity badge, it meant that they had a considerable status.


    "You...how did you end up here, junior brother?"


    Mi Xiaojing grabbed Zhang Ke''s arm, as he hadn''t seen a familiar face for a long time. In this unfamiliar environment of the Heart Sect, he felt very lonely. Suddenly seeing an old friend, someone who had taken care of him for a long time, he was really excited.


    Zhang Ke was also extremely excited: "Little senior brother, I''ve been looking for you for a long time...I didn''t expect to see you here."


    Junior brother? Senior brother?


    The steward smiled slightly, and immediately understood. He was very familiar with Zhang Ke''s identity, which was that of an evolutionary immortality remnant, forcibly brought to the Heart Sect. So the person who called him junior brother must also be an evolutionary immortality remnant. The only thing that made him a little wary was the other person''s identity. He couldn''t understand why an evolutionary immortality remnant who was brought here would have the identity badge of an inner disciple of the sect.


    The three ordinary people who were originally beaten up by Mi Xiaojing were already shocked, but when they heard the two people''s titles, they were even more frightened. Don''t offend a Cultivator, that was the ironw in the Heart Sect. Once you offended a Cultivator, being beaten and injured was nothing. Even being killed wasn''t a rare urrence. The sect would at most handle it superficially, and sometimes, there wouldn''t even be any surface handling.


    The ordinary people here knew more about Cultivators than those outside, and they were more respectful and fearful.


    The steward stepped forward, sneering: "Who are you? How dare you wear such clothes and wear such an identity badge? You''re just an evolutionary immortality remnant, and you dare to act recklessly in our Heart Sect?"


    Mi Xiaojing narrowed his eyes. As a young person, he was rtively naive. When he heard the other person speak like this, he couldn''t suppress the anger anymore. In an instant, Mi Xiaojing had already rushed forward.


    p!


    Without hesitation, he pped the man hard, then transformed into a raging beast, beating and hitting him fiercely. He actually knew that as long as he didn''t kill him, even if there was infighting within the sect, no matter how he was punished, it wouldn''t harm his bones and muscles. So he vented his anger first.


    Mu Xiaoyin was stunned. She couldn''t believe that Mi Xiaojing was so fierce.


    Luo Bo, on the other hand, was extremely excited, his eyes shing with a strange light. His two small hands kept rubbing together, showing that he also wanted to take action.


    The steward waspletely stunned, his face swollen and bruised, but he kept shouting."You dare hit me... good, hit me well, if you have the guts, kill me!"


    A glint of sharpness shed in Mi Xiaojing''s eyes. Kill him? Maybe not, but he could at least beat him half to death!


    Crack!


    One leg was broken.


    "Ah... you have the guts to kill me..."


    Crack!


    One arm was broken.


    "Ah... ah, it hurts... you, you, you have the guts... to kill me... ah..."


    Crack!


    Another leg was broken.


    "Wu... ah, spare me..."


    The onlookers all stayed far away, watching from a distance. When they heard the steward begging for mercy, they couldn''t help but let out a lowugh.


    Mi Xiaojing was truly a gentle and kind little baby when he was in the Western Expansion Sect. He wouldn''t even kill a starving wolf. But since the sect was destroyed, his mindset hadpletely changed. He had be a bit ruthless and lost some of his kindness.


    "You say spare you, and I''ll spare you?"


    Mi Xiaojing said coldly and lifted his foot to step down.


    Crack!


    Thest arm was stepped on. Actually, this kind of injury was not considered serious for a cultivator. It was just a matter of broken bones in the hands and feet, and it would take a few months to recover. But breaking all four limbs in a row, this kind of ruthlessnesspletely scared the man.


    In pain and fear, the man passed out.


    Zhang Ke nervously said, "Will this cause trouble for you, junior martial brother? You should go... escape..."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled slightly and said, "No need, I''ll go talk to his master!"


    Running away was useless. No matter what, if he beat the younger one, the older one would definitelye. The so-called hitting the dog and seeing the owner was the reason why Mi Xiaojing had to settle the man''s master, otherwise there would be trouble.


    Not leaving!


    Zhang Ke''s face showed extreme anxiety. He said, "Junior martial brother, you should leave quickly. I''ll take responsibility for everything. Don''t worry, I won''t tell them... who you are..." He even had the intention to kill the steward.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Junior brother, don''t worry. Do you know who this man is a steward for?"


    His words were calm, and Zhang Ke gradually calmed down. He asked, "Are you sure it''s okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "No matter what happens, we must face it. Running away is the worst solution."


    Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Okay, when we were in the Western Expansion Sect, you were smarter than me. I''ll listen to you. If worsees to worst, I''ll die with you... and fight them!"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It''s not that serious. He''s just a steward."


    Mu Xiaoyin didn''t pay too much attention either. Although she had hardly seen anything like this, she had heard of many simr things, so she was also calm.


    Mi Xiaojing stepped forward and kicked the man a few times, and immediately heard him begging for mercy.


    "Spare me, I won''t dare anymore... spare me!"


    He was really scared. Although he was malicious, he was actually a small character in the sect. He was stronger than ordinary mortals, but among cultivators, he was the weakest. He found that Mi Xiaojing''s strength was much higher than his own. He didn''t use any weapons or cultivation techniques, and only used his bare hands to beat him to the point of not knowing life or death.Mi Xiaojing waved his hand. The three who had teamed up to beat Zhang Ke did not dare to escape, standing on the side, their faces pale and their bodies trembling like chaff. The butler was half-dead from the beating. If Mi Xiaojing wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as killing a chicken, and they had no way to resist.


    With a thud, the three were scared to their knees.


    "Spare us!"


    Mi Xiaojing impatiently said, "Who said I want your lives? Weren''t you very vicious when you were beating people? You cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong,e over here!"


    The three were very obedient and didn''t dare to stand up, but really rolled over to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t help but giggle, and even Mi Xiaojing was stunned. They really rolled over!

 Chapter 55: Lu Liu Estate

    <h4>Chapter 55: Lu Liu Estate</h4>


    Three people rolled in front of Mi Xiaojing, looking at him in horror.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Which estate does he belong to? You should know, right?"


    "We know... He belongs to Lu Liu Estate!"


    "He is the steward, the chief steward of Lu Liu Estate... His name is Qian Youwei... Big Steward Qian..."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Carry him to Lu Liu Estate."


    The three were frightened, even Big Steward Qian was frightened. Not only did he get beaten up, but now he had to go to Lu Liu Estate. What was Mi Xiaojing nning to do?


    Under Mi Xiaojing''s coercion, the three could only carry Big Steward Qian. Since Qian Youwei''s limbs were broken, when the three carried him, they pulled his arms and legs, causing him to scream in pain. However, with a point from Mi Xiaojing, he could no longer make a sound, but the pain remained. It was truly a miserable experience.


    As they walked, many people were surprised to see this group of strange people. Since Big Steward Qian could not shout, he kept twisting his body, which was extremely painful. However, the more he twisted, the greater the pain became. Halfway there, Big Steward Qian finally passed out, relieving him of his extreme pain.


    Lu Liu Estate was located by a small river, not far from a smallke. This entire area was upied by Lu Liu Estate, and the owner of Lu Liu Estate was a small steward responsible for the medicinal garden in Grass-Benevolence Hall. He was in the Foundation Establishment stage, an intermediate level cultivator in the Heart Sect.


    In the Sword Heart Sect, once a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment stage, their status would undergo a drastic change. This level of cultivator was the backbone of the sect. As for the Foundation Establishment stage, once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it was a different story. Once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they were sure to be high-level members of the sect.


    In the Sword Heart Sect, level represented many things.


    Just like Lu Yu, the owner of Lu Liu Estate. When he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, this estate became his. The previous owner died unexpectedly, and the estate had been managed by the sect until Lu Yu advanced, at which point it was transferred to his name. Of course, if he died, the estate would still belong to the sect.


    As a member of Grass-Benevolence Hall, Lu Yu''s position was higher than Mi Xiaojing''s. However, since Mi Xiaojing was Chen Shouyi''s person, he still had some status and couldmunicate with Lu Yu.


    With three ordinary people, Big Steward Qian, and Mi Xiaojing and his group, there were quite a few people. They arrived at the entrance of the estate, immediately rming the gatekeeper. Seeing Big Steward Qian''s appearance, the gatekeeper was also frightened and immediately went in to report.Soon, Lu Yu came out. He knew Mu Xiaoyin and Mi Xiaojing, and was surprised to see them there. He asked, "Why do you have time toe to my estate?" Then he saw Qian Daguan lying on the ground.


    "Awai, what happened? Who did this?"


    "I did it," Mi Xiaojing said calmly.


    "What?"


    Lu Yu was dumbfounded. Why did you hit someone and then bring him here? Is this a demonstration? Why? His face darkened and his imposing aura suppressed them.


    Luo Bo and Mu Xiaoyin both retreated under the pressure.


    Although Mi Xiaojing also felt some pressure, he could still resist it. He just looked calmly at Lu Yu.


    After all, Lu Yu was a steward of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. Although he was just a small steward, he knew a lot, especially about the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If he was not familiar with the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he would probably not use his imposing aura, but directly take action.


    Mi Xiaojing was a new apprentice of a Pill Master. It goes without saying how important a Pill Master is. Most importantly, Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin were both Chen Shouyi''s people. Compared with Chen Shouyi, his strength was far inferior. Once he offended Chen Shouyi, his life would not be easy. Moreover, he was very wary of Mu Xiaoyin. He could vaguely feel her background.


    "Good, very good!"


    Lu Yu stared at Mi Xiaojing. "Give me a reason."


    "He hit my person..." Mi Xiaojing said, pointing at Zhang Ke.


    Lu Yu turned to the person next to him and asked, "Who is this person?"


    Someone next to him knew Zhang Ke and said, "He was a captive brought back from outsidest time, named Zhang Ke. As for where he''s from...I''m not very clear."


    Zhang Ke looked ordinary and stood nervously, looking no different from an ordinary person.


    Lu Yu was surprised and said to Mi Xiaojing, "You''re from the Western Expansion Sect?"


    Mi Xiaojing had nothing to hide. This matter could be easily investigated. He nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be from the Western Expansion Sect, and he was too."


    Lu Yu was shocked. A captive from the Western Expansion Sect, a young man who had only recentlye to the Sword Heart Sect, could obtain such a status. This child was amazing!


    Lu Yu couldn''t help but take him seriously. He found that Mi Xiaojing''s strength had reached the Great Perfection realm of a Cultivator''s Qi Refining. This kind of strength was a key training object among the lower-level disciples of the sect. Moreover, he was also a potential Pill Master. Even if he beat him up now, what could he gain?"If you can establish a good rtionship with the other party, the benefits are much greater than offending him. With a few thoughts in his mind, he has made a decision.


    He decided to prioritize substance over face.


    Without hesitation, he wiped away this matter. However, he also wanted to gain some benefits, otherwise he would have neither substance nor face.


    "What do you n to do when youe over?" Lu Yu gathered his imposing aura and spoke calmly.


    "Can we talk alone?" Mi Xiaojing now seemed like a little adult.


    Lu Yu was surprised and nodded, "Okay!" He arranged for people to carry Quan Youwei in for treatment, and also arranged for people to take Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo out for dinner. Then he took Mi Xiaojing to a quiet room, and the two of them sat cross-legged.


    Lu Yu began to take Mi Xiaojing seriously and did not treat him as a child.


    Mi Xiaojing sat down calmly.


    "What do you want to say?" Lu Yu asked.


    Mi Xiaojing smiled slightly and took out a simple wooden box, handing it to Lu Yu.


    Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. The wooden box was too simple. He curiously took the wooden box and opened it, only to find three Clear Tranquility Pills inside.


    Recently, Clear Tranquility Pills were in great demand in the Heart Sect because of the vast number of casualties caused by the Vast Gold Sect''s attack on the sect. Clear Tranquility Pills had been consumed inrge quantities and were now priceless.


    After a quick examination, Lu Yu eximed, "Middle-grade pills! These are middle-grade Clear Tranquility Pills!"


    Now, even low-grade Clear Tranquility Pills had increased in price several times, and were extremely rare.


    "Where did you get these?" Lu Yu''s first reaction was whether they were stolen. He never expected that Mi Xiaojing had refined them himself.

 Chapter 56: Exchange

    <h4>Chapter 56: Exchange</h4>


    "Where did you get this from?" Mi Xiaojing smiled faintly. "It doesn''t matter. The source is legitimate. Don''t worry, this thing can''t be stolen. The sect needs arge quantity of healing pills now, and Clear Tranquility Pills should be in high demand."


    This was undeniable. Lu Yu nodded and looked at the Clear Tranquility Pill in his hand. He was very tempted because he was the steward of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, and cultivators from other halls woulde to him to ask for pills. Some of them were not to be offended. However, as a steward who managed the medicinal fields, the source of pills was very limited, and he had offended many people because of it. He didn''t even have enough pills for himself.


    He also wanted to befriend the Pill Masters, but there were only four true Pill Masters in the sect, and the others couldn''t even show their faces. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing took out the Clear Tranquility Pill, giving him a glimmer of hope.


    Regardless of where Mi Xiaojing got the pills from, this was a great opportunity to establish a source of pills. If he didn''t seize this opportunity, Lu Yu wouldn''t forgive himself.


    "What do you want?"


    In an instant, Lu Yu understood that since the other party took out the pills, they were prepared to trade. As long as it was beneficial, he wouldn''t refuse this opportunity.


    "First, I want to exchange for a person..."


    "That Zhang Ke guy, right?" Mi Xiaojing nodded vigorously. "Yes, him. Will you exchange him?" He was very nervous, but tried to appear calm.


    This was a huge gain. Even if it was just one low-grade Clear Tranquility Pill, Lu Yu would agree to the exchange.


    "Deal!"


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He didn''t think he was at a disadvantage. He just had to use something that the other party couldn''t refuse to exchange for Zhang Ke''s freedom.


    "Second, I have some low-grade and medium-grade Clear Tranquility Pills that I want to trade for some materials and items."


    Lu Yu''s eyes lit up. There were even more pills? This was too surprising for him. Medium-grade Clear Tranquility Pills could only be made by the four Pill Masters, and the quantity was limited. Before he could even take them out, they were already divided among the experts from various halls. How could he, a small steward, have a chance to get them?


    "Okay, how many low-grade and medium-grade Clear Tranquility Pills do you have? What do you want to exchange for?"


    "I have six low-grade and two medium-grade Clear Tranquility Pills..." Mi Xiaojing hesitated for a moment, and didn''t dare to take out too many. He didn''t even dare to take out a single high-grade Clear Tranquility Pill, as it was too rare and would attract too much attention. He just hoped to trade with Lu Yu.Mi Xiaojing had already figured it out. Lu Yu would definitely not reveal that he got the pills from him. This was a safe channel. Once exposed, he would be in trouble.


    Lu Yu also understood this and their tacit understanding was formed at this moment.


    .


    "I want to exchange... um, these things."


    Mi Xiaojing took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Yu. "These are the things I need."


    Lu Yu was very serious this time. He carefully looked at the things recorded on the paper and couldn''t help showing a look of excitement on his face. Because there were a lot of herbs on it, he might not have many other things, but he had all kinds of spiritual herbs and other medicinal materials because he was in charge of the medicine field.


    As for other things, as long as he used one or two Clear Tranquility Pills to exchange, he didn''t even need to take out a high-grade Clear Tranquility Pill. In other words, he only needed a very small amount of the pills that Mi Xiaojing brought out to solve the materials that he needed. He didn''t need to spend anything and could even make a big profit.


    Lu Yu''s impression of Mi Xiaojingpletely changed and he smiled. As for the steward being beaten, that was good. If he didn''t beat him, he wouldn''t be able to make money.


    The material list that Mi Xiaojing brought out was all opened by Wang Weijun. It mainly refined a kind of pill that the Heart Sect didn''t have, the Cultivating Essence Pill. Wang Weijun had already passed on the pill form to Mi Xiaojing.


    The Cultivating Essence Pill!


    Cultivators in the Qi Refining period could eat it, as well as those in the Foundation Establishment period. Even those in the early stage of Foundation Establishment could eat it, but the effect was not very good. This kind of pill was most useful for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period.


    The pill form of the Cultivating Essence Pill belonged to an ancient form that Wang Weijun had obtained a long time ago. He had already surpassed the need for this pill form after breaking through and advancing to the Unity stage. However, this pill had greatly helped him back then and was a major factor in his early breakthrough.


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing wasn''t that foolish. Among the materials he collected, in addition to the materials for the Cultivating Essence Pill, there were also some materials for the Qi Refining Pill. The Qi Refining Pill was also a very popr pill among the low-level disciples of the sect and could be used directly as a spirit stone. Therefore, he also had to refine some of them.


    For cultivators, besides talent, intelligence, and diligence, having resources and a ce with abundant spiritual energy is important. For the sect, this means using various means such as looting and upying topete for resources.As for cultivators, there are various means to obtain resources, among which pill masters and refining tool masters upy the most advantageous position. They can exchange arge amount of resources for pills and magic weapons to cultivate.


    Therefore, pill masters and refining tool masters are both wealthy groups in the sect. Of course, if one can reach the high level of the sect, resources will not becking, and they will also be wealthy among cultivators.


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "No problem, I will collect all these materials. When do you need them?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "The sooner, the better."


    Lu Yu said, "Deal. If you need any materials in the future, juste to me. This is my paper crane. You can use it to notify me directly."


    A stack of refined paper cranes, a kind of talisman that canmunicate over short distances, with fast speed. Once sent out, the owner can receive it within a few minutes.


    This is a popr short-rangemunication tool among cultivators in the sect. Everyone has this kind of paper crane.


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "It won''t take long for me to send someone to deliver the materials. Also, do you need anything else? I can help you solve it together."


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated and said, "I alsock some daily necessities, such as pots, bowls, dishes, clothes, bedding, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar."


    Lu Yu was stunned and couldn''t speak for a while. He didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing wouldck these things. Soon, he reacted and said, "Okay, I''ll arrange it. Do you need servants?"


    Mi Xiaojing had no concept of servants and said, "Scare people? Who am I scaring?"


    Lu Yu was speechless. This child didn''t understand. "Uh, I mean servants. Do you need them? I can prepare a few for you and send them over together."


    Mi Xiaojing finally understood and waved his hand repeatedly. "No need, no need. I have hands and feet and don''t need anyone to serve me." He was used to hardship, and luxury had little appeal to him.


    Lu Yuughed and said, "Don''t rush to refuse. I know there are still some children in the Western Expansion Sect. Do you need these people...?"

 Chapter 57: Cooperation

    <h4>Chapter 57: Cooperation</h4>


    "Give it to me!"


    Mi Xiaojing said without hesitation.


    Lu Yu knew that in order to have a good cooperation, he needed to show goodwill and necessary kindness to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What are the conditions for the exchange?"


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "No need for any exchange, just a promise from you."


    Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "What promise?"


    "Trade with me in the future. Of course, if I do something that you are not satisfied with, you can trade with someone else. But before that, you must trade with me."


    "Okay! No problem!"


    Mi Xiaojing agreed without hesitation. He was not familiar with other cultivators, and with Lu Yu as an intermediary, even if the value was a little less, it was worth it. He just wanted to hide behind the scenes and not let others know how good he was at alchemy.


    "By the way, help me exchange two magical swords..."


    The so-called magical swords were weapons used by low-level disciples. Even for such weapons, it was difficult for low-level disciples to obtain them because they were very expensive. Only disciples with backgrounds could possibly obtain magical swords.


    Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Exchange with pills?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Exchange with Qi Refining Pills. Hmm, I want slightly better quality magical swords."


    Lu Yu said, "It''s okay to exchange with Qi Refining Pills, but you need a lot of them...unless you use middle-grade Qi Refining Pills, you should be able to exchange for better magical swords."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Okay, it''s settled. I will notify you in a while."


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "That''s no problem."


    Mi Xiaojing stood up and said, "It''s settled then. If there are people from Western Expansion Sect in the future, just send them over."


    Lu Yu also stood up and personally escorted him out.


    The two of them talked andughed all the way to the entrance of the manor, where Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo were already waiting, and Zhang Ke was sent out by someone.


    The servants at the entrance of the manor were surprised to see their master. The whole manor was in an uproar because of the incident with Qian Daguanjia. Mi Xiaojing, the culprit, looked like an old friend of the master, which made them both surprised and scared. Their eyes towards Mi Xiaojing were different. This person looked like a child, but he was really something!


    Mi Xiaojing said goodbye and walked towards the main road with a confused Zhang Ke, as well as a confused Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo.


    "Junior Brother, are you okay...what were you talking about? You looked so happy?"


    Mu Xiaoyin was full of doubts.


    "It''s nothing."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t exin. He didn''t want to say much. He even hid the fact that he was able to refine so many Spirit Pills from Mu Xiaoyin for the sake of the trade.


    It wasn''t until they reached the main road that Zhang Ke finally woke up a little. He was surprised and said, "They let me go?"


    Mi Xiaojing was very happy and said, "You''ll follow me from now on and don''t have to go back to the manor."


    Zhang Ke''s tears fell, but he didn''t make a sound, just wiped away his tears quietly."From now on, there will be more Evolutionary Immortality cultivators from our Western Evolutionary Secting over. I have made an agreement with Lu Yu, and he will help me find our lost disciples..."


    Zhang Ke eximed in surprise, "Really? Really? That''s great..."


    In fact, the surviving disciples of the Western Evolutionary Sect were all children, just like Mi Xiaojing, only younger. It was unknown how they survived, but Mi Xiaojing would never hesitate to help them. He was confident he could take care of these little disciples. As long as they became Pill Masters, all resources would be avable to them.


    The group walked towards the market, chatting andughing.


    There were several markets in the Sword Heart Sect, and this was one of the mostmon ones. It was a ce where ordinary people and low-level cultivators traded.


    The market was just one street, but there was a simple formation around it, mainly used to distinguish between ordinary people and cultivators. The front street was where ordinary people went, and the back street was where cultivators went.


    People came and went on the front street, and there were many carts and shops, as well as various stalls and vendors, making it very lively.


    Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo, and Zhang Ke were all country bumpkins, and they had never seen such a lively market when they were in the Western Evolutionary Sect. When they entered the front street, they werepletely dazzled.


    Mu Xiaoyin was used to it. She had been here a few times, andpared to Mi Xiaojing, she was much more knowledgeable.


    A strong aroma wafted through the air. Someone was frying twisted doughnuts on the roadside. When they smelled the aroma, Mi Xiaojing and the others couldn''t help but salivate. Mu Xiaoyin was the first to arrive at the fried doughnut stand and said, "Give me a bag of twisted doughnuts!"


    "Sure... just a moment!"


    The withered lotus leaves wrapped arge bag of fried twisted doughnuts, which were about the size of a little finger and golden brown in color. The aroma was enticing.


    Mu Xiaoyin threw a silver melon seed, which was the currency used by ordinary people.


    Mi Xiaojing was also pitiful. He had never eaten any fried dough products before, and when he took a bite, it made a crispy sound and filled his mouth with fragrance. Even Zhang Ke, who had never eaten them before, was amazed. After all, cultivators usually practiced asceticism and didn''t use a lot of oil to fry food.


    Luo Bo almost swallowed his tongue while eating, and he kept saying, "It''s delicious, it''s delicious... What are the little dots on top?"


    Mu Xiaoyin felt a sense of aplishment, "Hehe, those are sesame seeds. They''re very fragrant. There are sesame cakes ahead. I''ll go buy some and bring them back. They''re also delicious."


    It was easy to distinguish between cultivators and ordinary people on the road. Anyone who practiced cultivation wore extremely thin clothes, while ordinary people wore bulky clothes. The weather was quite cold now, and only cultivators were not afraid of the cold. Evolutionary Immortals were not yet at that level, so Mu Xiaoyin and Zhang Ke were both dressed very warmly.As they walked, they ate all kinds of snacks and street food, which amazed Mi Xiaojing and hispanions and made them very hungry.


    Soon, they arrived at the back street, where Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were significantly fewer people and a few low-level cultivators could be seen.


    Then, Mi Xiaojing saw arge gate that resembled an archway. It was made of green jade and had faint green spiritual patterns shimmering on it, indicating that the back street was covered by restrictions. At the entrance of the street, two low-level cultivators were sitting cross-legged.


    To enter, one must have an identity badge. Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin had one, but Luo Bo and Zhang Ke did not, so they were stopped at the gate.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "We should be able to bring people in, right?"


    The two cultivators were in the Qi Refining stage and had just been recognized by the sect. If they could progress further, they could enter the outer sect. Both of them were ambitious and eager to make contributions to the sect, treating the sect''s rules as if they were divinews.


    "No, the market is only open to disciples of our sect, not outsiders," one of the cultivators said.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately understood that they were dealing with idiots. Even though it was his first time in the market, he knew that this kind of rule could not be strictly enforced.

 Chapter 58: What is the rule?

    <h4>Chapter 58: What is the rule?</h4>


    Encountering fools is hard to exin, they are not wrong, just foolishly taking everything seriously. Mi Xiaojing also had a headache, he couldn''t just beat them up.


    "We are from Grass-Benevolence Hall, can''t we bring people in?"


    Grass-Benevolence Hall actually had certain privileges, so Mi Xiaojing hoped the other party would let them through.


    "It doesn''t matter if you''re from the main hall..."


    At this moment, two cultivators with three ordinary mortals walked over,ughing and talking. The two were guarding the door for the first time and immediately stopped them.


    "You two can go in, but the other three can''t!"


    "What? What does that mean?"


    The two cultivators were also foolish, they often came here, let alone bringing people, no one dared to stop them even if they brought a dog.


    "Only sect disciples are allowed in, ordinary people are not!"


    The two fools said righteously.


    p!


    A loud p sounded, and the guy who was hit was stunned: "Why did you hit me?"


    Bang!


    He was kicked away right after he finished speaking.


    "Hit you? Are you blind? I''m hitting you!"


    The two cultivators were both disciples in the Qi Refining stage, and they knew they were formal outer disciples at a nce. They looked at each other and rushed up together, beating the two guards.


    Mi Xiaojing saw someone take the lead and immediately greeted everyone to step aside and watch the show first.


    After a beating, the two guards were beaten so badly that they couldn''t stand up. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great. One of them suddenly made a sharp whistle, which was a warning signal that someone was attacking.


    In an instant, a group of people rushed out from the market, led by a Great Perfection cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, who was a low-level steward in the market.


    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"


    p!


    The guy who was shouting and screaming was fiercely pped by the steward who came out, making him dizzy and disoriented. He couldn''t figure out why he was hit.


    The other guard was also pped in the ear.


    "Okay, stop it!"


    The two cultivators finally stopped beating up the guards and looked at the steward, throwing him an identity badge.


    The steward''s face changed because the identity badge clearly indicated that this was a person from the outer hall''sw enforcement hall. He was immediately frightened. He had originally wanted to beat up the two guards and then beat up the two intruders, but after seeing the identity badge, he immediately became afraid. He couldn''t afford the consequences of beating up someone from thew enforcement hall, even if he could win.


    "What happened? Why are you fighting?"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh. He actually understood what had happened. It was just two neers who wanted to show off, but they had kicked the iron te. A few words exined the situation.The little steward in the market was speechless. He didn''t know what these two guys were thinking. It wasmon for cultivators to bring people to the market, and no one had ever stopped them before. Did these two have brains full of shit?


    The little steward waved his hand silently, indicating for them to go in. Mi Xiaojing took the opportunity to lead everyone into the market.


    asionally, when he turned back, he saw the steward still beating people. He probably felt that he had lost face and wanted to regain it from these two. The two guys were screaming and wailing, and Mi Xiaojing could still hear their intermittent cries from far away. It was estimated that they would remember this beating for the rest of their lives.


    The market was very deserted, unlike the previous street. Most of the people here were cultivators or people brought by them. There were very few shops on the street, mostly shops for refining tools, alchemy, talismans, formations, and other things. The mostmon were shops selling cultivation groceries.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand refining tools or talismans. Apart from alchemy, which was passed down by Wang Weijun, the cultivation technique was also taught by him. Everything else was unfamiliar to him, so he was very curious.


    When Western Expansion Sect was destroyed, the strength of the cultivators shocked him. They had various means and weapons, while Evolutionary Immortality was far behind. In battle, they were unable to fight back and were unable to win against opponents of the same level.


    This made Mi Xiaojing gradually interested in these things, especially after alchemy. He had already realized that these auxiliary means were the embodiment of the strength of cultivators.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t miss any of the shops, and he looked at each one. At this time, Wang Weijun appeared again and tempted him, "These are nothing. They are all simple things. If you want to learn, I can teach you."


    Since he received Wang Weijun''s inheritance, Mi Xiaojing had slightly changed his view of him. Actually, he knew in his heart that this person had ulterior motives, but since there was an existing inheritance, why not take it? He just had to be careful.


    Wang Weijun was still very proud. Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s guard against him decrease, he thought to himself that he was just a child and could not have much knowledge. He believed that he had been mixing in the cultivation world for so many years and had a broad knowledge. It was easy to fool a child. As for the previous setback, he chose to selectively forget it.


    Mi Xiaojing was unfamiliar with both refining tools and talismans, especially when he was in the refining tool shop. He was dazzled by the various magical swords. These were all used by Qi Refining cultivators. There were wooden ones, metal ones, some made of special jade, some were cold, some were fire, and some were earth. There were all kinds of them, making it impossible for people to take them all in.There were all kinds of small magical treasures, such as hammers the size of fists, axes the size of palms, and even gourd-shaped treasures, ring-shaped, t, square, and round in shape, with various colors and strange shapes, among which a part of them were shining.


    Not only Mi Xiaojing, but also Luo Bo and Zhang Ke were stunned by the sight. Only Mu Xiaoyin remained indifferent, as she had already be ustomed to these things and had seen many of them, so she was no longer surprised.


    The price of magical tools was expensive. A very ordinary magical tool, such as a magical sword, the worst kind, required more than thirty lower-grade spirit stones, and a slightly better one required more than fifty lower-grade spirit stones. If it was the top magical tool of a Qi Refining cultivator, then it was normal to spend three or four hundred lower-grade spirit stones.


    It was almost impossible to umte so many lower-grade spirit stones by oneself without any help. Unless there were elders giving gifts or the n''s assistance, it was difficult for a low-level cultivator to purchase a really good magical tool. Low-level cultivators were the poorest people in the Cultivation World.


    During this period, Mi Xiaojing did not take out any pill. He had found a suitable channel and did not want to rm others. He hoped to refine pills quietly and grow stronger quietly.


    There were many low-level cultivators wandering around like this, unable to afford the items but willing to learn more about the market prices. Of course, there were also many cultivators selling their own creations, such as talismans, simple refining tools, and low-level array gs and array disks.


    There were also consignments. Mi Xiaojing saw many consigned items, many of which were strange and ancient, discovered during expeditions.

 Chapter 59: Thunder Gang Wood

    <h4>Chapter 59: Thunder Gang Wood</h4>


    In the cultivation world, there is a peculiar phenomenon where many cultivators build their own caves in certain ces. After practicing for a period of time, maybe a few years or maybe a few hundred years, they would leave and often seal away the things they no longer need inside, waiting for someone with fate to find them. This gives many low-level cultivators the opportunity to find a leftover cave or residence and reap many rewards.


    Of course, there are also caves of cultivators that have been raided and destroyed, leaving behind many good things. Therefore, many people in the cultivation world like to explore and search for these leftover caves.


    Generally, cultivators with sects will also explore these caves, but their main force is not them, but the rogue cultivators who are active in the wilderness. They are the main force in searching for leftover caves because they mainly rely on these to grow quickly.


    Mi Xiaojing discovered a two-meter-long, palm-wide ck strip that was as thick as a finger in a store that sold cultivation goods. It was just leaning against the corner of the wall. Of course, with his eyes, he couldn''t see through what it was, but he was curious and picked it up.


    It was a heavy object, and it felt heavy in his hand. He curiously asked, "What is this?"


    The store clerk was an ordinary mortal. He said, "Sir, this is something someone else has consigned. It costs five lower-grade spirit stones..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was surprised and said, "Five lower-grade spirit stones, why don''t you just steal it?"


    The clerk helplessly said, "This is consigned, and we can''t bargain. Either buy it or leave it."


    Mi Xiaojing just casually asked and was about to put it down when Wang Weijun suddenly popped up in his mind, "Buy it!"


    "What about this ck strip in my hand?"


    "Yes, buy it!"


    Although Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand what it was, since Wang Weijun said to buy it, he was moved. He knew that Wang Weijun was much more knowledgeable than him.


    "I''ll take it!"


    Mi Xiaojing happened to have five lower-grade spirit stones and put them directly on the counter. He casually put the ck strip into his storage bag.


    Although the clerk was an ordinary person, he also knew that people with storage bags were usually wealthy among low-level cultivators. This item was mostly owned by Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Mu Xiaoyin became anxious and said, "Hey, why did you buy it... What is this thing?"


    "I don''t know what it is..."


    Mi Xiaojing honestly said, but Mu Xiaoyin was stunned. She said, "Oh my god, you don''t even know what it is, but you spent five lower-grade spirit stones on it? Return it quickly!"


    Zhang Ke didn''t say anything. He always knew that Mi Xiaojing was very smart and wouldn''t buy useless things.


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "It''s okay, I bought it already. I''ll study what it is when I get home."Mu Xiaoyin opened her mouth but eventually closed it. After all, the spirit stones belonged to Mi Xiaojing, not her. She couldn''t help muttering to herself, "What a spendthrift, five spirit stones... such a waste..." She felt reluctant but couldn''t stop Mi Xiaojing, so she just keptining.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh. Seeing Mu Xiaoyin''s reaction, he thought it was a normal response for a girl.


    Mu Xiaoyin knew that Mi Xiaojing had spent all his money on these five low-grade spirit stones. She didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing had made an agreement with Lu Yu and didn''t need to buy many things anymore. However, whether it was Mu Xiaoyin, Zhang Ke, or Luo Bo, they were all curious about the ck strip that Mi Xiaojing had bought with the five spirit stones. It was worth five low-grade spirit stones!


    Sitting cross-legged by the spirit spring, Mi Xiaojing held the ck strip he had bought in the market on hisp.


    "What is this thing? It cost me five spirit stones... that''s all my savings. If it''s useless, I''ll lose big time."


    "You fool... do you think I would buy something inferior? Five spirit stones... even if you add a thousand more, you can''t buy it!"


    "Really?"


    "Of course, would I make a mistake? What I chose, won''t be wrong!"


    Wang Weijun arrogantly raised his head, but in Mi Xiaojing''s mind, he was just an old man in a green robe. He didn''t feel anything even when he raised his head high.


    "But, what is this?"


    "This is a Thunder Gang wood! It has been refined into a sword nk by someone, but... for some reason, it was not continued and a simple seal was ced on it."


    "Thunder Gang wood? What is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing knew what a sword nk was, but he had no idea what Thunder Gang wood was.


    Wang Weijun had been to many ces, so he naturally knew what Thunder Gang wood was.


    "It''s a specialty of the Yun Lei Star. There''s no other that has it. That ce... cannot be entered without reaching Foundation Establishment stage, or you will be struck by lightning and die. Even on Yun Lei Star, it''s hard to find Thunder Gang wood, especially this one, which is a high-grade Thunder Gang wood."


    "This is the best material for refining magical weapons. If it is nurtured in the body, it can be a spiritual weapon."


    In other words, Thunder Gang wood could not only be refined into magical swords, but also further refined into spiritual swords. Most cultivators would try to obtain a spiritual sword after reaching Foundation Establishment stage. The power difference between a spiritual weapon and a magical weapon was like heaven and earth.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing wanted to find a magical weapon, a sword, as his weapon. But unexpectedly, he bought a Thunder Gang wood back, which was still an unfinished sword nk. He was overjoyed.


    "How do I unseal it?""Four magical techniques and one incantation are all it takes to unseal it. It''s not difficult to learn."


    Since it''s so simple, there''s no need to pass it down.


    Wang Weijun taught very seriously, and Mi Xiaojing learned very seriously. His fast learning speed and highprehension made Wang Weijun extremely envious. He was a genius in cultivation.


    Mi Xiaojing easily learned the four magical techniques and one incantation. After reviewing them slightly, he had aplete grasp of them and said, "Let me try."


    Mi Xiaojing easily demonstrated the variations of the magical techniques, and the incantation was even easier. As an evolutionary immortal, he paid the most attention to true words, which are simr to incantations. However, one is clear and the other is vague, and he controlled them extremely well.


    With a light swipe of his hand and a flick of his finger, Mi Xiaojingpletely removed the seal on the Thunder Gang wood. In an instant, there was a crisp sound, and Mi Xiaojing trembled all over.


    He was electrocuted, but fortunately, the current was not too strong, only causing a slight numbness in his body.


    Mi Xiaojing''s hair was loose and draped over his shoulders. In an instant, his hair stood up like the head of a mop.


    Mi Xiaojing was not alone by the Lingquan. Two people were sitting around it, Zhang Ke and Luo Bo. When they saw Mi Xiaojing''s hair suddenly standing up, they were both startled.


    Zhang Ke pointed at Mi Xiaojing and eximed, "Ah? Ah! Ahh... his hair... ah!"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused and asked, "What?"


    Luo Bo said, "His hair... stood up... so strange!"


    At that moment, the seal on the ck strip waspletely lifted, and everyone saw the true face of the Thunder Gang wood.

 Chapter 60: Spirit MarkingMagical Sword Spirit Marking

    <h4>Chapter 60: Spirit MarkingMagical Sword Spirit Marking</h4>


    The surface of the ck wood was covered in countless silver dots, which flickered and disappeared, asionally revealing fine silver threads that sparkled with dazzling lightning. This was the characteristic of Thunder Gang wood, which contained the essence of thunder.


    At first nce, Mi Xiaojing fell in love with it.


    Since Zhang Ke came back, he had started cultivating with Luo Bo. He had no chance of ascending, so he thought it would be nice to try cultivation. With Mi Xiaojing around, they had ess to all kinds of cultivation methods. It would be a pity not to cultivate.


    "It''s so beautiful... What is it?"


    Luo Bo was also curious.


    "Thunder Gang wood!"


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "How should I handle this?"


    "Take it in your hand and examine it carefully."


    Through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, Wang Weijun saw the Thunder Gang wood and couldn''t help but praise it.


    "It''s a good thing, a good thing. It''s amazing how they found it. This is a real top-grade Thunder Gang wood. It''s only one step away from being the best. Tsk tsk, it was exchanged for only five spirit stones."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly and said, "If what you say is true, then the magical sword refined from Thunder Gang wood cannot be taken out."


    Wang Weijun nodded secretly. If this treasure was recognized by high-level cultivators, it would definitely be taken away. He said, "Don''t worry, I have a way to make it unrecognizable."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Good, this is safe. How do we refine this sword?"


    Wang Weijun said, "It''s easy to refine the sword, but it''s difficult to upgrade it to a spirit sword. The sword relies on basic prohibitions and spirit patterns. Well, I have a set of 108 Thunder Spirit Patterns. At first, there are only twelve basic Thunder Spirit Patterns, but once sessful, they can form aplete sword spirit pattern."


    "Once the sword spirit pattern is formed, it means that it has been sessfully refined."


    "Ah, is it that easy?"


    "At first, it is indeed easy, but it bes more and more difficult to add twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns and form a new spirit pattern each time."


    Mi Xiaojing calcted that there were a total of 108 Thunder Spirit Patterns, and every twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns formed a sword body spirit pattern. So when all the Thunder Spirit Patterns were added up, there were nine spirit patterns. Did this mean that the sword could be a spirit sword with nine spirit patterns?


    He expressed his doubts to Wang Weijun.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help butugh and said, "It''s not that easy. However, a sword with nine spirit patterns can still withstand some damage, even if it''s a low-grade spirit sword. Of course, a sword with nine spirit patterns is definitely a top-grade sword."


    As for upgrading to a spirit sword, other methods were needed, and the most important one was to rely on one''s own Golden Elixir to nourish it. Only then could the quality of the sword be improved. If the quality of the sword body was high, it would be easier to nourish it. If the quality of the sword body was poor, even if it was sessfully nourished, it would still be a low-grade spirit sword and would be difficult to further improve.


    This time, Wang Weijun did not pass on the information orally. Instead, he used the method of inheritance. The 108 Thunder Spirit Patterns were tooplicated, and it was absolutely impossible to make a big mistake while refining the tool. Even if the material was precious, it would be destroyed. No one would use Thunder Gang wood to practice refining. Once it was destroyed, it would be impossible to find another one.


    "You can use other things to practice. Hmm, there are a few materials that can withstand Thunder Spirit Patterns."A thousand-year-old tree struck by lightning formed the Thunder Strike Wood, which is vastly different in quality from the Thunder Gang Wood, but this type of wood can withstand the Thunder Spirit Pattern and make for a decent magical sword.


    Thebination of Xuanjin Wood and gold can also serve as a carrier for the Thunder Spirit Pattern. Xuanjin Wood is the main body, while gold is used for iying. However, this type of magical sword looks incredibly gorgeous but cannotpare to Thunder Strike Wood in reality.


    Thest type is the Iron Brand Wood, a peculiar and tough wood that is also used for refining magical swords. However, to refine the Thunder Spirit Pattern, a groove must be opened on the sword body. Of course, two grooves can also be opened on both sides, and a gold bar can be embedded. One gold bar can carry one spirit pattern, which is twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns.


    This type of magical sword can have a maximum of two spirit patterns, twenty-four Thunder Spirit Patterns, and cannot bear any more.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "So, Thunder Gang Wood is the best, followed by Thunder Strike Wood, then Xuanjin Wood, and finally Iron Brand Wood."


    Wang Weijun nodded and said, "That''s right. These materials are not particrly difficult to find, especially Xuanjin Wood, which should be rtivelymon. After you refine the magical sword with Xuanjin Wood and be proficient, then use Thunder Gang Wood. High-quality Thunder Gang Wood is extremely rare, so you must be careful in refining. Once it is damaged, you will suffer a great loss."


    Mi Xiaojing said solemnly, "Don''t worry, I won''t ruin such good materials."


    "After you have your own magical sword, I will teach you other spirit patterns. In fact, spirit patterns are rted to formations and talismans. As long as you learn them well, your knowledge and abilities can be greatly improved."


    "The knowledge of cultivation cannot bepared to that of Evolutionary Immortality."


    Although Mi Xiaojing also admitted in his heart that Evolutionary Immortality cannot bepared to cultivation, he still felt dissatisfied.


    "Even if a cultivator reaches the level of Evolutionary''s Ancestors, they may not be able to win!"


    "Haha, there are only a few people like that... Overall, cultivators are still more powerful! Of course, if Evolutionary Immortality can improve its realm and reach a high level, it is indeed very powerful, but such people are extremely rare."


    Mi Xiaojing fell silent. He could not deny that cultivators were easier to improve their strength than Evolutionary Immortals. Evolutionary Immortals had a single method and their cultivation was too difficult.


    However, Mi Xiaojing did not give up on Evolutionary Immortality. He felt that it was a memorial, a thought, and even a memory.


    One day, Lu Yu sent a team of servants led by Qian Youwei to Mi Xiaojing''s courtyard. As soon as Qian Youwei entered, he apologized to Mi Xiaojing and bowed, behaving like a well-behaved little white rabbit, although his eyes were full of hatred.


    Various materials, daily necessities, various foods and seasonings, pots, pans, and dishes were allplete.


    Among them were two magical swords made of refined steel, with ordinary quality and one spirit patternposed of three fire spirit patterns.


    Because he received the inheritance, Mi Xiaojing immediately understood the meaning of the spirit pattern on the magical sword. His conclusion was that it was a very ordinary magical sword.


    Mi Xiaojing wrote a note, folded it and sealed it, and handed it to Qian Youwei. "Give it to your master."


    Qian Youwei nodded and said, "Yes!"


    Then he said, "I brought someone with me, also from the Western Expansion Sect."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Who?"

 Chapter 61: Laifu

    <h4>Chapter 61: Laifu</h4>


    "Laifu!"


    Zhang Ke looked at the emaciated child in surprise. Laifu was also an Evolutionary Immortal, but he hadn''t even started his training yet when he was caught by the Heart Sect. He was sent to a manor where his job was to chop wood and cook, but he was often hungry, cold, and beaten.


    Laifu''s real name was Wei Fu, and his nickname was Laifu. He grew up in the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Laifu was only eleven years old and had no flesh on his body except for bones. Zhang Ke hugged him and kept saying, "This is so unfair. He''s just a child. How could he be so thin?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t say much. He believed that he could take care of anyone as long as they were brought to him.


    Qian Youwei took his leave with his people. He had only recovered thanks to a low-grade Clear Tranquility Pill. Actually, Mi Xiaojing gave the pill to Lu Yu. Of course, Qian didn''t know this, and he still hated Mi Xiaojing. However, after being beaten once, he didn''t dare to provoke Mi Xiaojing again.


    Of course, if he had the chance, Qian Youwei wouldn''t mind biting Mi Xiaojing hard.


    Zhang Ke was busy cooking while Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, and Luo Bo were busy packing and arranging for Laifu to take a bath and change clothes. With Zhang Ke around, they had no problems with food. He was the head chef of the Western Evolutionary Sect, and he was good at cooking.


    Mi Xiaojing was very happy to have fellow disciples from the Western Evolutionary Sect again. He felt responsible for gathering these remaining disciples, and as someone who grew up in the Western Evolutionary Sect, he had a deep affection for it. There weren''t many Evolutionary Immortal disciples caught by the Heart Sect, and most of them were younger than Mi Xiaojing.


    After settling everyone in their rooms, Mi Xiaojing went to the cave behind the house and sat cross-legged by the spiritual spring. He took out the Thunder Gang Wood and carefully studied it. He couldn''t refine it yet because he wasn''t confident enough. He had to find alternative materials, practice a few times, and then he would have the confidence to refine the Thunder Gang Wood.


    Mi Xiaojing liked the Thunder Gang Wood very much. It had a stunning charm that made it hard to look away. It seemed to have some kind of attraction that drew people''s minds into it.


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing entered a subtle state where he could see the patterns inside the Thunder Gang Wood and even feel its characteristics.


    In a sh, countless lightning bolts and thunder rang out in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. A thick, curved trunk grew proudly in the thunderstorm, and countless lightning bolts struck it. Electric currents flickered on the trunk and were absorbed and digested by it.This tree is so peculiar, with no branches or leaves, just a twisted trunk growing towards the sky.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing realized that this was the original body of the Thunder Gang wood.


    When he realized this, his eyes finally broke free and he couldn''t help but break out in a cold sweat. Just a piece of wood made him lose his mind. The original body of this thing should have cultivated its own consciousness, but unfortunately it was cut down and could no longer form its own consciousness.


    Even Wang Weijun felt the shock. This was indeed a top-quality Thunder Gang wood, almost bing a top-quality one. If it was cut down at the moment when the Thunder Gang wood formed its own consciousness, it would be a top-quality Thunder Gang wood.


    Of course, if the consciousness of the Thunder Gang wood waspletely formed, it would be difficult to obtain because it would gradually be invisible and only appear when needed. Only super powerful cultivators would have a chance to obtain such Thunder Gang wood. Even Wang Weijun at his peak, during the fusion period of his cultivation level, could not obtain the Thunder Gang wood after it became invisible.


    This kid''s luck is terrifying!


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but sigh. His evil intentions were deeply hidden now, so the suppression of the Mantra Banner on him was much less. He could move more freely and peek into some of Mi Xiaojing''s secrets.


    Mi Xiaojing put away the Thunder Gang wood and closed his eyes to contemte. The scene just now had a great impact on him and he needed some time to digest and absorb it. In the cultivation world, any insight was important and would unconsciously improve the cultivator''s realm. This time, being immersed in it gave Mi Xiaojing great benefits.


    The indomitable spirit of the Thunder Gang wood and the baptism of thunder had greatly shocked Mi Xiaojing.


    A few dayster, Mi Xiaojing obtained two Xuanjin wood, a small section of Thunder Strike wood, only two feet long, and a piece of Branded Iron wood.


    These were all obtained by Mi Xiaojing through exchanging with Lu Yu using Clear Tranquility Pills. Although these materials were not abundant, they could still be found with careful searching.


    Mi Xiaojing put the Xuanjin wood and Branded Iron wood into his storage bag and held the two-foot-long Thunder Strike wood.


    The Thunder Strike wood looked very ordinary, just a charred piece of wood.


    Wang Weijun''s evaluation: "This section of Thunder Strike wood is of average quality. Although it was also left behind by a thousand-year-old tree struck by lightning, it was not formed by the heartwood. If it was the heartwood, the quality could reach medium-grade. Now it is just a low-grade Thunder Strike wood, but it is still a good material for practice."Mi Xiaojing was not disappointed. Having materials to practice with was good enough, and he couldn''t be too picky. He was already very satisfied with obtaining such materials.


    The two-foot-long Thunderstruck Wood needed to be slowly polished to form a sword nk. Mi Xiaojing carefully processed it, first dealing with the umted carbon on the wood, and then gradually polishing it. Eventually, a sword nk was formed. Unfortunately, the Thunderstruck Wood was too short, and after polishing, only one foot and seven inches remained. Rather than calling it a sword nk, it was more like the shape of a dagger.


    To be precise, it was a triangr-shaped dagger. This was what Mi Xiaojing had intentionally created. This shape allowed him to attach more Thunder Spirit Patterns. With three edges, there were three surfaces. ording to Mi Xiaojing''s idea, if he could add twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns on each surface, then a total of thirty-six Thunder Spirit Patterns could be added, forming three spirit patterns. The power of such a weapon should not be underestimated.


    However, he was soonughed at by Wang Weijun. With Mi Xiaojing''s skills, it was absolutely impossible to add twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns to one surface. At most, he could only add three, which meant that he could only form one spirit pattern in the end.


    The ideal was beautiful, but reality was cruel. After careful calction, Mi Xiaojing had to admit that the old man was right; after all, he was still too inexperienced.


    The refining method taught by Wang Weijun was rtively high-end. The addition of spirit patterns was done through magical techniques and incantations, rather than relying on the material itself. This was considered a high-end and sophisticated refining method.


    Such a high-level refining technique was only taught to the most core disciples within the sect. Ordinary cultivators had more rudimentary refining methods, relying mostly on the characteristics of the materials to draw spirit patterns on the sword nks. After many steps, the final magical sword produced was of lower quality.

 Chapter 62: Spiritual Enchantment

    <h4>Chapter 62: Spiritual Enchantment</h4>


    Of course, there are many methods for refining tools, and no cultivator can fully understand them all. However, one thing is certain: the difference between superior and inferior refining techniques is like night and day.


    When Mi Xiaojing began to try refining tools, he truly realized how difficult it was. Thebination of magical techniques and incantations, as well as the consumption of true qi, was something he could only barely manage.


    One Thunder Spirit Pattern was enough to consume half of his true qi. Fortunately, he had time to recover. If he was still only in the Qi Refining stage, he probably wouldn''t even be able toplete the enhancement of one Thunder Spirit Pattern due to insufficient true qi, especially in this type of enhancement.


    After only one attempt, Mi Xiaojing understood that he was lucky enough to be able toplete one Thunder Spirit Pattern, which meant that as long as he recovered his true qi, he could enhance the second Thunder Spirit Pattern. This way, he couldplete the enhancement of one Spirit Pattern, which was a bit arduous, but he didn''t mind.


    Mi Xiaojing failed the first Spirit Pattern enhancement attempt, but after recovering his true qi, he tried again. Generally, if one failed three times in enhancing the same Thunder Spirit Pattern, the embryo would be considered a failure. When refining tools, a single failure would slightly decrease the quality of the embryo, two consecutive failures would greatly decrease the quality, and three failures would destroy the embryo.


    However, there was a technique to this. For example, if one failed once, they could temporarily abandon that spot and continue to enhance the intact side. On this Thunder Strike Wood embryo, a total of twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns could be enhanced, which meant there were twelve empty spots for enhancement. As long as the second attempt did not fail, the Thunder Spirit Pattern could still be formed.


    This technique was reminded to Mi Xiaojing by Wang Weijun, so as soon as he failed once, he immediately changed positions. After much trial and error, Mi Xiaojing finally managed to enhance all twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns, but the quality of the dagger-like magical tool had decreased significantly.


    The final step was to activate the twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns and form a Spirit Pattern. This step was not difficult. After practicing a few times, Mi Xiaojing felt confident and ced the dagger-like magical tool on a stone tform.


    Three magical techniques and two incantations were not tooplicated. Mi Xiaojing cast the magical techniques and simultaneously chanted the incantations.


    In that instant, his true qi waspletely drained. Mi Xiaojing''s heart raced. If his true qi was not enough, this magical tool would bepletely destroyed. Under the enhancement of the magical techniques and incantations, the Thunder Spirit Patterns on the Thunder Strike Wood began to flicker with dazzling lightning, crackling sounds echoed out, and rays of light shed. The Thunder Spirit Patterns began to merge.


    The silver-white delicate patterns began to twist like rivers, gathering together to form a surging river that quickly swept over the entire embryo.Mi Xiaojing struggled to support himself. He didn''t expect to need so much true qi and was caught off guard. At this moment, a strange force flew out from his heart tower, and countless true word characters were inputted into the embryo along with true qi.


    This sudden change not only scared Mi Xiaojing, but also scared Wang Weijun. What was happening?


    Countless true word characters rushed out like ants and directly imprinted onto the embryo,bining with the thunder spirit pattern to form a spiritual pattern. This spiritual pattern had changed and was no longer the original appearance. The small true word characters were like schools of fish in a river, making the originally rigid spiritual patterne to life.


    "Is this considered refined?"


    "I have never seen this before. It''s strange... I don''t know how powerful it is. You can try it."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly, "I don''t know how to use it..."


    Wang Weijun was speechless. He had already refined the magical sword but didn''t know how to use it. His foundation was too weak.


    In fact, it wasn''t that Mi Xiaojing had a weak foundation. Strictly speaking, his progress was already terrifying. He had already reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining after transitioning from Evolutionary Immortality to Cultivation in a short amount of time, making him stronger than many cultivators.


    The art of sword control was rted to incantations. By using incantations to stimte the spiritual patterns on the magical sword, one could control it. Of course, the art of sword control also had different levels. A good art of sword control could easily manipte the magical sword with a simple incantation.


    As for the spiritual sword, it was different. To reach the level of using a spiritual sword, one generally had to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. By nourishing the spiritual sword with Golden Elixir, one could form a union of heart and sword. At that time, controlling the sword with one''s thoughts was possible, which was the essential difference.


    During the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, any cultivator was unable to achieve this. Even if you had a spiritual sword, you still needed incantations to drive it, and you couldn''t achieve a union of heart and sword at most.


    Wang Weijun had no choice. If he wanted to see the effect of this magical tool, he had to teach Mi Xiaojing the art of sword control. Wang Weijun taught him the art of sword control in a muddled way, and even used the method of inheritance.


    Wang Weijun was toozy to teach, so he directly passed on the essence of the technique, which was a superior cultivation method that even the Heart Sect did not have. Whether it was cultivation, alchemy, or refining tools, it was an extraordinary inheritance.


    After teaching him the art of sword control, Mi Xiaojing was amazed by the various techniques and incantations. He realized that there was so much to learn just for controlling a sword.


    He sat cross-legged to replenish the consumed true qi. Since he was near the spiritual spring, Mi Xiaojing quickly regained his energy. As time passed, the spiritual qi inside the Sword Heart Sect recovered, and with the addition of the spiritual spring in the cave, the spiritual qi here was already very abundant, making it an excellent ce for cultivation.


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and picked up the magical sword on the stone tform. It was actually a short sword.When the Magical Sword was just refined, it was truly beautiful to the extreme, but now it has be an inconspicuous ck dagger, with no distinctive features.


    As Mi Xiaojing observed, Wang Weijun was also watching.


    "Strange, how did it be so dark? I can''t see anything special about it. Did the refining fail?"


    "It didn''t fail, but I don''t understand why it''s like this! We''ll know once we try."


    The addition of the Spirit Script was also the first time Wang Weijun had seen it, and it aroused his curiosity as well.


    "Well, I guess we can only give it a try."


    Mi Xiaojing walked towards the outside of the cave.


    Luo Bo and Wei Fu were sitting on the kang, while Zhang Ke was sitting on a stool. In front of him was a basket filled with various dried vegetables, cured meats, salted meats, and air-dried chicken and duck. All of these were sent by Lu Yu, but Mu Xiaoyin was nowhere to be seen.

 Chapter 63: Try my sword

    <h4>Chapter 63: Try my sword</h4>


    "Xiaoyin isn''t here?" Mi Xiaojing asked.


    Luo Bo said, "Xiaoyin sister went back to Grass-Benevolence Hall."


    "When did she leave?" Mi Xiaojing asked.


    Zhang Ke said, "She left for almost half a day. She was called by a servant, saying that she wille back in a few days."


    Mi Xiaojing knew that Chen Shouyi valued Mu Xiaoyin very much. During this time, she had been following him almost all the time. It was estimated that something happened with Chen Shouyi, which was why she was called back. As for what happened, Mi Xiaojing didn''t care.


    "Little radish head, A Fu, put on your clothes, we''re going to the forest to find some herbs."


    Luo Bo and Wei Fu cheered and immediately got off the bed to put on their clothes. They had been practicing every day for the past few days and were bored.


    Zhang Ke said, "Let''s go to the forest. I want to see if I can find some wild vegetables."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "The snow hasn''t melted yet. I don''t know if we can find anything."


    Zhang Ke said, "It''s okay. I have experience."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and led the three of them out of the yard. The snow on the mountain was still there, and the sky was gloomy. However, due to the reflection of the snow, the surroundings were very bright.


    Stepping on the snow, the four of them walked into the forest. Because the trees were lush, the snow on the top of the trees was very thick. In the forest, there were many ces where the ground was exposed, revealing clusters of green nts.


    Qingmu Peak was veryrge, and the trees were endless. The four of them walked along a small path for chopping wood, meandering and winding.


    After a while, they saw a gentle slope. This slope was veryrge, with only sparse short trees, rtively t. From here, they could see the distant mountains, the barbaric wilderness, the forest, and theyers of mountains, steep and dangerous, with dark clouds pressing down. Faint smoke could be seen rising from the mountainside.


    In the sky, there were asional sword lights shing from this peak to another peak. These were the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage of the Sword Heart Sect rushing on their way. They didn''t need to walk on the mountain road, they could just fly with their swords.


    Zhang Ke was puzzled and said, "Little senior brother, why did we stop... there''s nothing we need here."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "I want to try my sword here."


    "Try your sword? What sword?"


    Mi Xiaojing took out the magical sword refined from Thunder Strike Wood and said, "This is the magical sword."


    Zhang Ke took a closer look and showed a strange expression on his face, "Uh, this...this ck thing is a magical sword...it''s so ugly..."


    When Luo Bo heard the words "magical sword," he immediately became excited. He had heard of magical swords and knew that they were the mostmonly used weapons for cultivators and one of the most powerful weapons for low-level cultivators. He was naturally curious.


    "Xiao Mi gege, let me see!"Wei Fu was also very curious, but he was a bit timid and followed Luo Bo up.


    Luo Bo and Mi Xiaojing were the most familiar and closest. He reached out to take a look, and Mi Xiaojing did not stop him, handing him the magical sword.


    After flipping it over for a long time, Luo Bo was quite disappointed and said, "Little Mi brother, is this thing really a magical sword? It''s really ugly. Zhang Uncle was right."


    Luo Bo is used to calling Zhang Ke "Uncle" because he has a scruffy beard and looks particrly old, especially after being caught by the Western Expansion Sect and suffering a lot. He used to be a fat man, but now he has be thin and his skin is loose. The old age on his face is very obvious.


    Wei Fu agreed but didn''t speak, nodding his little head like a pecking chicken.


    "Ugly? Hehe, that''s right. If it''s pretty...it will attract attention. This thing should be very powerful," Mi Xiaojing said, although he also thought the magical sword was ugly, he still had to be tough.


    Zhang Ke was afraid that Mi Xiaojing would be unhappy andforted him, "Although it''s ugly, it may be very useful..."


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but roll his eyes. Ugly? Useful? He said, "Okay, stopforting me. I don''t care about appearance. I want to try this magical sword."


    Luo Bo cheered, "Okay, let''s see how powerful Little Mi brother''s magical sword is!"


    Wei Fu nodded hard. The strength of this child''s nodding made people worry that his little neck could withstand the weight of his head and whether his neck would break when he nodded.


    .


    Luo Bo returned the magical sword to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing was full of expectations. This was his first time using a magical sword, and it was personally refined by him. No matter how ugly or short it was, it was his own effort and dedication to cultivate. This magical sword carried his heart and the desire to be stronger.


    When Mi Xiaojing''s incantation was released, the magical sword began to tremble instantly, and the spirit script gradually shone. The first activation of a magical sword is like a new beginning. Every magical sword has this process because the spirit script is activated for the first time after the magical sword is refined. If the spirit script is not smooth, it is likely to be scrapped. Any cultivator who can refine tools values this new beginning.


    Electric arcs jumped on the magical sword, and strands of electric arcs made crisp sounds. The blue and white silver radiance slowly lit up from the tail of the magical sword and extended towards the tip of the sword at a very slow speed.


    Mi Xiaojing once again experienced the terrifying loss of true energy. His entire true energy was instantly extracted by half. As the spirit script spread to the tip of the sword, suddenly, dense andplicated true character scripts appeared on the spirit script, and the entire magical sword floated from Mi Xiaojing''s palm.Zhang Ke stared in shock, never knowing that this magical sword could be so beautiful.


    Luo Bo looked on in astonishment, not expecting the magical sword to float in front of Mi Xiaojing, its tip emitting a faint silver radiance. An extremely dangerous feeling made him involuntarily step back.


    Wei Fu, who had just started cultivation, didn''t have Luo Bo''s intuition. The only thing he found strange was that the originally ck magical sword had be shiny.


    Wang Weijun was also paying attention to the magical sword, but his purpose was different from everyone else''s. He noticed that when Mi Xiaojing was refining the tool, he could actually activate the Mantra Banner and imprint the spirit script from the banner onto the magical sword. This discovery frightened him, as it was too strange.


    "Send it out!"


    Wang Weijun shouted in Mi Xiaojing''s mind.


    Subconsciously, Mi Xiaojing released an incantation. In an instant, a very thin silver radiance shed and disappeared. Then, they heard a series of thumping sounds from the woods ahead, and snow mist rising along a straight line, indicating that the attack had created a line.


    With another incantation, the magical sword suddenly appeared in front of Mi Xiaojing. Its speed was so fast that it was impossible to react in time.


    Wang Weijun''s expression turned serious as he discovered a significant problem. The originally ordinary magical sword, after being imprinted with the spirit script, had made a huge leap in its level and entered a different realm. It couldn''tpare to a spiritual sword, but it definitely disyed the characteristics of a high-quality magical sword. It should be noted that this magical sword only had one spirit pattern, which was the most basic form of a magical sword.


    Even if the refining technique of this magical sword was excellent, it couldn''t determine the essence of the sword. However, with the addition of the spirit script, the magical sword now possessed the quality of a high-quality magical sword, which was truly terrifying.

 Chapter 64: Thunderstrike Dagger

    <h4>Chapter 64: Thunderstrike Dagger</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied. He could feel that when his true energy flowed through the spiritual lines of the magical sword, he immediately formed a certain connection with it. Although he couldn''t merge his mind with the sword, he could feel a very familiar feeling. When he used the incantation, he really felt like he could use it easily.


    "Is this magical sword sessfully refined?"


    "Sess! This is too f*cking sessful... I, forget it..."


    Wang Weijun was quite depressed and hit hard. He just casually tried and made a top-grade magical tool. He still didn''t understand it himself. This child was simply going against the natural order. This was his first time refining a tool, even if he had a heritage, it shouldn''t be like this!


    "Let''s try again!"


    There was no other way, he could only analyze it with his eyes. So Wang Weijun urged Mi Xiaojing to try again.


    Mi Xiaojing was actually not satisfied either. He agreed and issued the incantation again.


    This time it was a protective incantation.


    With a soft thunderous sound, the magical sword spun rapidly like a windmill, swirling around Mi Xiaojing at high speed, bringing up silver-white light, and at this moment, Mi Xiaojing''s figure began to blur.


    Zhang Ke was stunned. This was possible too! Like a tornado, the whirlwind brought up the surrounding snow, forming a vortex rising into the sky.


    Luo Bo''s eyes lit up. He didn''t even think that the magical sword would have such great power. He reached out and picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it out.


    Silently, the hard stone turned into dust and flew up. It could be imagined how fast the magical sword was.


    Wei Fu bit his finger and mumbled, "So powerful, so powerful..."


    Mi Xiaojing issued another incantation, and suddenly, the defensive circle of the protective magical sword began to expand, expanding to a diameter of about five meters. He felt a little overwhelmed and contracted it again. He pointed his hand, and the magical sword shot out.


    Shoo!


    A dazzling light flickered, and then a nearby ancient tree was cut in half, and the huge crown of the tree was thrown out, causing arge amount of snow mist to rise up.


    Wang Weijun urgently said to Mi Xiaojing in his mind, "Leave here quickly, it''s too loud!"


    Mi Xiaojing issued the incantation, and the magical sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He casually put it into his storage bag and said, "Let''s go back!"


    Zhang Ke was confused, but Mi Xiaojing had already turned and ran, and he even carried Wei Fu and ran towards the way they came.Luo Bo was also clever and didn''t ask too much. He followed and ran along with them. Zhang Ke was just stunned for a moment, but also followed and ran. In a few moments, the four of them had entered the dense forest.


    On the gentle slope, the thick snow mist was still rising, and it really attracted a cultivator to fly over.


    The person paused slightly in the air, and then pounced on the fallen ancient tree. It was too conspicuous, and could be seen clearly even in the air.


    Landing beside the broken ancient tree, the person carefully examined it and couldn''t help but exim. Because the broken part of the tree was smooth and neat, but the cross-section was all ckened, obviously burned by high temperature.


    "What kind of sword is this? It even has thunder attribute... Who was testing the sword here?"


    Turning around and jumping, the person had alreadye to the ce where Mi Xiaojing and the others had stood before. The person muttered to himself, "Four people''s footprints, hmm, one big and three small, maybe a senior brother brought people to test the sword? Strange, why test the sword in the wilderness?"


    After taking a look at the footprints, it was obvious that they had already left.


    The person didn''t care about it, and with a slight movement of the body, had already flown into the air. A sword light flickered, and had already flown far away.


    Mi Xiaojing and the others quickly returned to the yard, and all four of them had joyful expressions on their faces, especially Mi Xiaojing, who couldn''t suppress his smile. He felt that he finally had a good weapon, although there were many problems in refining it, but this thunder wood weapon made him very satisfied.


    Luo Bo looked envious and asked, "Xiao Mi, what is this called?" He didn''t know that it was a magical sword.


    "It doesn''t have a name yet. This is the first time I''ve really had an attacking weapon... Hmm, I have to think of a good name."


    Zhang Ke said, "How about calling it Lightning?"


    Luo Bo eximed, "Good, good, Lightning... a good name..."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It''s too ordinary. It''s better to call it Thunder Strike, Thunder Strike Sword!"


    In Mi Xiaojing''s mind, Wang Weijun sneered, "A group of ignorant kids who don''t know how to name things."


    Mi Xiaojingpletely ignored him and said, "Okay, I''ve decided. It''s called Thunder Strike... Well, it''s not a sword, it''s a dagger, Thunder Strike Dagger! I like it! Thunder... Strike to kill! It sounds powerful."


    Wang Weijun waspletely speechless.


    Zhang Keughed and said, "If the little senior brother likes it, then it''s Thunder Strike Dagger."


    Luo Bo grinned and said, "Xiao Mi, Thunder Strike Dagger! It sounds great!"


    Wei Fu was young and didn''t dare to speak, just kept looking at Mi Xiaojing and smiling.


    Mi Xiaojing patted Wei Fu''s head and said, "I will continue to refine magical swords, and when I finish refining them, I will give you guys one."Zhang Ke was fine, after all, he was older. Wei Fu was young and didn''t understand the value of it. Only Luo Bo was extremely excited. He watched Mi Xiaojing''s demonstration of the Thunderstrike Dagger and was truly envious and delighted to the extreme. Hearing that Mi Xiaojing would give one away, he couldn''t suppress the excitement in his heart. He did several somersaults in the snow and ended up slipping and falling into a snowdrift, but still let out excited screams.


    "Wow, wow... Ah, this is great... Haha..."


    Wei Fu ran up to help Luo Bo up, and Zhang Ke sighed, "We''re like a family now... Hehe, it''s good to be safe and sound..." His voice was very low, but Xiaojing heard it clearly and couldn''t help but sigh inwardly. It might not be so peaceful in the future!


    After arriving at the Heart Sect, Mi Xiaojing understood a principle: if one is not strong enough, it is useless anywhere. Only with enough strength can one protect oneself and the people around them.


    Back at the edge of the spirit spring, Mi Xiaojing continued refining tools. Compared to alchemy, he preferred refining tools. If alchemy was just because of necessity, refining tools were because of love. He felt that the joy of sessfully refining a tool was much stronger than that of alchemy, and it was a joy that came from the heart.


    He took out a piece of Xuanjin wood, about three meters long, which was the heart of the Xuanjin wood, the hardest part. This Xuanjin wood had its own characteristics. Before being cut, the heart of the Xuanjin wood was the softest. Once cut, the heart would lose its moisture and be extremely hard, even harder than steel.


    Therefore, the Xuanjin wood used for refining tools must maintain a certain amount of moisture and not be allowed to dry outpletely. Once it dries out, it bes difficult to handle.


    This piece of Xuanjin wood''s heart was soaked in water.

 Chapter 65: Refining Tool Experience

    <h4>Chapter 65: Refining Tool Experience</h4>


    Thanks to his experience with the Thunder Strike Dagger, Mi Xiaojing found it easy to handle this piece of Xuanjinmu. The Thunder Strike Dagger was not only used for attacking, but it was also incredibly sharp. Especially when infused with true qi, its sharpness wasparable to cutting through iron like mud, let alone repairing Xuanjinmu.


    The wooden core of the Xuanjinmu had a diameter of about fifty centimeters. Mi Xiaojing used the Thunder Strike Dagger to repair it and cut out a sword nk. This magical sword he made was rtivelyrge, about two and a half meters tall, much taller than him. However, he knew that as long as there were three Thunder Spirit Patterns, this magical sword could be manipted with ease.


    After the sword nk was formed, Mi Xiaojing began to carve the patterns on the sword body. These patterns had to be iid with gold thread. During the first carving, he demonstrated unparalleled talent. Each pattern was as delicate as a strand of hair, drawn out by the tip of the Thunder Strike Dagger. His hand was very stable, and the scratches were so fine that they were almost invisible. From the hilt to the tip of the sword, theplexity of the patterns was maddening.


    But Mi Xiaojing enjoyed it. In one breath, he carved a Thunder Spirit Pattern that contained six Thunder Spirit Patterns. With his current level, he could not carve nine Thunder Spirit Patterns, even if he used arger sword nk. His limit now was at most seven Thunder Spirit Patterns, but seven Thunder Spirit Patterns did not make a Thunder Spirit Pattern.


    Generally, a Thunder Spirit Pattern wasposed of three, six, nine, or twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns. One more or one less would not work. Therefore, this Thunder Spirit Pattern wasposed of six Thunder Spirit Patterns.


    It took Mi Xiaojing eight days to carve the Thunder Spirit Patterns. Of course, during this time, he also went to the Pill Room to refine many Spirit Pills. He did not forget to practice every day, but the time was rtively shortened. After all, he was in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and temporarily unable to advance. Even if he spent more time practicing, it would be difficult for him to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.


    To enter the Foundation Establishment stage, he must have Foundation Establishment Pills. He was not confident in refining them, and he was currently only collecting materials. He had to wait until he merged Wang Weijun''s experience in alchemy before he could refine them with confidence.


    Not only did he not rx his cultivation, but even his Evolutionary Immortality, Mi Xiaojing persisted in. Wang Weijun saw this kind of fanatic cultivation very clearly and couldn''t help but admire the little guy. He was really fighting hard.


    On the eighth day, Mi Xiaojing carved thest Thunder Spirit Pattern. The dense patterns and scratches on the sword nk made him feel a sense of aplishment. This was something he had carved out bit by bit. Every scratch was carved with all his heart and soul. Even though he had not yet refined it, he already liked it very much.


    .


    The next step was to draw gold wire, which was very easy for Mi Xiaojing. As long as there was a solid piece of steel with conical holes, he could draw the wire. From coarse to fine holes, he pulled back and forth, and a gold bar could be drawn into an extremely long wire.


    After drawing the gold into a hair-like thickness, Mi Xiaojing began to embed the gold thread into the sword nk, bit by bit. There wasn''t much technique involved, just patience and meticulousness, something Mi Xiaojing nevercked.


    Xuanjinmu was a pale gold color, especially the wooden core, which was extremely light in color. Especially when the Xuanjinmu had not yet been dehydrated, the color was even whiter.After the gold thread was iid, the entire sword body was shining with golden light. The pattern formed by the gold thread was extremely dense, almostpletely upying the surface of the sword body. The sword nk looked like it was cast in gold, incredibly magnificent.


    Mi Xiaojing checked the Thunder Spirit Pattern again, checking it four times in total. He exhaled a long breath, feeling exhausted. Even though he was an evolutionary immortal and had an incredibly long attention span, he still felt dizzy after a while.


    After recovering his energy, Mi Xiaojing knew that there were only two steps left. In fact, iying gold thread was already outdated. Fortunately, they still had to use magical techniques and incantations to bless the sword. This standardized blessing was much easier than blessing it out of thin air.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly found that the blessing was easy. One Thunder Spirit Pattern extended along the pre-drawn lines and quickly took shape. There were three Thunder Spirit Patterns in total, formed by 18 Thunder Spirit Patterns. Mi Xiaojing could refine three Thunder Spirit Patterns every day, but he didn''t have enough spiritual qi. Each Thunder Spirit Pattern required at least half of his true qi. After refining one, he had to meditate and absorb spiritual qi to restore his true qi before refining another.


    After six days, the 18 Thunder Spirit Patterns werepleted, leaving only the final step of activating them to form the three Spirit Patterns. Mi Xiaojing was worried because he knew his true qi was not enough. Once activated, he couldn''t stop, but what could he do if he didn''t have enough true qi?


    After thinking for a while, Mi Xiaojing went to Wang Weijun for help. Although he was wary of him, he knew that he couldn''t solve this problem on his own. Wang Weijun was pleased with himself because with each consultation, his value in Mi Xiaojing''s eyes increased. He thought he could take over Mi Xiaojing''s body if he yed his cards right.


    "It''s simple...can''t you refine some high-grade Qi Refining Pills and prepare a few in case your true qi runs out? Although they are ordinary, high-grade pills can still replenish your true qi well."


    Mi Xiaojing had a few high-grade Qi Refining Pills on hand, which should be enough for refining the sword. However, if the Heart Sect found out, they would go crazy. Using high-grade Qi Refining Pills to replenish true qi was a waste of precious resources. But for Mi Xiaojing, as long as he could refine high-grade pills regrly, they were just consumables. He had five high-grade pills on hand, but he didn''t dare to trade them. During his usual practice, he gave Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and Afu low-grade pills because their strength was too weak to absorb the abundant spiritual qi in high-grade pills.


    Mi Xiaojing had enough high-grade Spirit Pills to activate the three Spirit Patterns on the Magical Sword. He rested for an hour before cing the sword on the stone tform. He used a magical technique and then an incantation, and in an instant, his true qi poured into the sword''s Spirit Patterns like a rushing river.In just a few tens of seconds, more than half of Mi Xiaojing''s true Qi was drained away. Immediately after, he threw a high-quality Qi Refining pill into his mouth. In an instant, the spiritual Qi in his body burst forth. Xiaojing frantically converted the spiritual Qi into true Qi while crazily outputting true Qi.

 Chapter 66: Mantra and True Qi

    <h4>Chapter 66: Mantra and True Qi</h4>


    The benefit of a high-grade Qi Refining pill is that it emits as much Spiritual Qi as you need, maintaining a steady output without releasing all of the Spiritual Qi at once, ensuring a continuous supply of Spiritual Qi and Mi Xiaojing''s True Qi.


    Three Thunder Spirit Patterns flickered and were quickly activated, gradually connecting with each other to form a whole.


    The only thing that puzzled Mi Xiaojing was that, due to sufficient True Qi, the Spirit Script did not enter the sword body. In other words, unlike the Thunder Strike Dagger, which had only one Thunder Spirit Pattern, the Mantra Banner output arge number of Spirit Scripts unexpectedly due to ack of True Qi at the time,pleting the Refining Tool.


    After consuming two high-grade Qi Refining pills in a row, all three Thunder Spirit Patterns were fully activated andbined. Mi Xiaojing''s True Qi was only a little bit left. He took a deep breath, thinking that he would need at least three high-grade Qi Refining pills, but two were enough.


    Compared to the middle-grade, the difference between the two was really significant, and Mi Xiaojing now had a clear understanding.


    The Magical Sword slowly floated up, and thest step waspleted. There was already an indistinct connection between Mi Xiaojing and the Magical Sword. He knew that because he had refined the sword, there was a natural connection between them, like his own child, with a natural sense of closeness. As long as he held it for a long time, the two would be more and more in sync.


    Of course, if this Magical Sword were to be used by someone else, the person who obtained it would have to spend a considerable amount of time and effort to achieve this level.


    This was the benefit of refining one''s own tools.


    When the light dissipated, Mi Xiaojing carefully observed the Magical Sword made of Xuanjinmu. The originally shiny golden sword turned silver-white after being activated by the Thunder Spirit Patterns, with asional faint golden light, like waves spreading from the hilt to the tip of the sword.


    The suspended Magical Tool was incredibly gorgeous, with silver light mixed with golden light. However, Mi Xiaojing did not like this kind of sword. He preferred the dim and lightless Thunder Strike Dagger.


    Unfortunately, the Thunder Strike Wood he obtained was not enough to refine a Magical Sword. It was too short and too small,pletely inadequate for his arrangement, resulting in only one Thunder Spirit Pattern beingid out. The Magical Sword made of Xuanjinmu had three Thunder Spirit Patterns and eighteen Thunder Spirit Patternsbined, making it much more powerful than the Thunder Strike Dagger.


    .


    But the Thunder Strike Dagger was empowered by Spirit Scripts, and the two were iparable. Perhaps the Thunder Strike Dagger empowered by Spirit Scripts was not inferior to this Magical Sword.


    Wang Weijun appeared in Mi Xiaojing''s mind: "This time, did you refine it?"


    "Yes, it was quite difficult to refine. What do you think?"


    "Not very good!"


    Wang Weijun began to critique, pointing out numerous ws in each step from preparing the sword nk to engraving the Thunder Spirit Patterns, from embedding the gold thread to the timing of the Magical Techniques and Incantations.


    Mi Xiaojing was also stunned. He thought his Refining Tool was already pretty good, but he didn''t know there were so many problems.


    In fact, Wang Weijun was trulymenting in his heart. This child was simply a genius and a monster. He had not failed even once in his first attempt at refining tools, and each time was better than thest. It was truly unfair. In his day, refining tools was not like this. He had failed countless times and umted countless experiences to reach his current level.


    And Wang Weijun had to establish an authoritative image in front of Mi Xiaojing, so he had to find fault and make him acknowledge it. This was to establish that as long as he spoke, Mi Xiaojing would agree.Mi Xiaojing concentrated his mind and carefully pondered. He found that Wang Weijun was right; indeed, there were many ces where he had not done well.


    After carefully summarizing and sorting out his thoughts, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but shake his head. There were too many ces where he was not meticulous enough. However, he had confidence that he would do better next time. He still had two more opportunities to refine tools, and then he would truly refine his own magical weapon, which would be a magical sword made from Thunder Gang wood.


    However, the failure of the Mantra Script to appear this time left Mi Xiaojing feeling a bit depressed. Instinctively, he felt that if the Mantra Script had appeared, its power would have been different.


    Wang Weijun said a lot and then disappeared. Now, he could only rely on his patience to slowly coax Mi Xiaojing, and during this process, he had to provide a lot of real materials to make the little guy believe in him. This was his real goal, and he would not be stingy with his knowledge and experience, giving his best guidance.


    The magical sword made of Xuanjin wood, after everyone''s discussion, was named the Thunder Light Sword. The reason for this name was that during the sword testing, it could emit a dazzling silver light and even make the sound of thunder.


    Mi Xiaojing immersed himself in refining tools. Apart from asionally going to the Pill Room for alchemy,pleting tasks, and cultivating, he spent all his other time refining tools.


    During this period, Mi Xiaojing asked Wang Weijun for the Five Elements Spirit Patterns, namely Fire Spirit Pattern, Water Spirit Pattern, Wood Spirit Pattern, Earth Spirit Pattern, and Gold Spirit Pattern. These were the most orthodox Five Elements Spirit Patterns, unlike the Thunder Spirit Pattern, Wind Spirit Pattern, Shell Metal Spirit Pattern, and Immortal Language Spirit Pattern, which were rtively rare and not well-known to cultivators.


    Special Spirit Patterns were rare and unusual. Rtively speaking, Thunder Spirit Pattern and Wind Spirit Pattern were still quitemon, while the others were almost legendary.


    Spirit Patterns were a must-learn knowledge for refining tools, and they were also essential knowledge for formations and talismans. Every cultivator had to learn about Spirit Patterns. If they didn''t know this, they would not be proficient in refining tools, formations, or talismans, and they would only be able to use them without understanding the principles behind them.


    After spending a few more days, Mi Xiaojing refined a magical sword using Laotie wood, but it stillcked the blessing of the Mantra Script. After repeated thinking, Mi Xiaojing understood that only when his strength was insufficient would the Mantra Script possibly bless him. He then tested it again, this time using thest Xuanjin wood.


    After this period of thinking and refining, Mi Xiaojing managed to arrange nine Thunder Spirit Patterns on the Xuanjin wood, totaling twenty-seven Thunder Spirit Patterns, forming three Spirit Patterns. This was nine more Thunder Spirit Patterns than when he refined the Thunder Light Sword.


    When he finally activated the Spirit Patterns, he deliberately made his true energy insufficient. Under normal circumstances, once the true energy was insufficient, the Spirit Patterns would not be fully stimted, and the entire refining process would be considered a failure. Not only would the Spirit Patterns be destroyed, but the sword body would also turn into ashes.


    However, Mi Xiaojing seeded. When his true energy was insufficient, the Mantra Banner once again surged with arge number of Mantra Scripts, directly stimting the Spirit Patterns thoroughly and imprinting the Mantra Scripts on them.


    Finally sessful, Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He knew the power of the Mantra Script. With the blessing of the Mantra Script, the power of the magical sword was truly different. He understood this in his heart and nned to develop the use of the Mantra Script in the magical sword. Currently, he could not truly exert the power of the Mantra.


    Mi Xiaojing began to ponder how to refine the Thunder Gang wood. If this refining was sessful, he would obtain his own true weapon.

 Chapter 67: Foundation Establishment Pill

    <h4>Chapter 67: Foundation Establishment Pill</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin finally returned. During Mi Xiaojing''s time refining tools, she had note back. Mi Xiaojing had also not seen her when he went to the pill room to refine pills. He didn''t know what she was busy with. Asking around, no one knew for sure.


    Mi Xiaojing went to the room and saw Mu Xiaoyin immediately. She was excitedly saying something. When she saw Mi Xiaojing, she jumped off the kang and said, "Junior Brother! Let me tell you some good news! The sect is going to distribute Foundation Establishment Pills. Anyone who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining has a chance to get one."


    Zhang Ke was surprised and said, "Is it true? That''s too generous!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There are probably some prerequisites."


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Core disciples can get one middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill or two low-grade ones, depending on their cultivation level, aptitude, and who their master is... Outer disciples have a prerequisite: a martial artspetition. The top four canpete for four low-grade pills, and the champion can get one middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "So only the top five can get the pill. Others have no hope. By the way, how many people in the outer sect have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "There are more than thirty people in the whole sect. The key is that this time, there is a rule that those in theter stage of Qi Refining can also participate... There are many people in theter stage of Qi Refining, but no more than thirty should participate. Others dare not."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "So there are more than sixty people... Well, that''s quite a lot."


    Mu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "There won''t be that many people actually participating. There will be at most fifty or so. Only ten percent of them have a chance to get the pill."


    Zhang Ke asked, "Junior Brother, are you going?"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "I''m not participating." He actually had the pill recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills. As long as he collected all the materials, he could refine the pills himself. He didn''t have the time topete for Spirit Pills. He would rather spend his time refining pills.


    Of course, Mu Xiaoyin didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing could refine Foundation Establishment Pills. She thought it was a good opportunity, especially since Mi Xiaojing had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If he advanced further, he would be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the cultivation world, only Foundation Establishment cultivators were truly qualified to travel outside. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators could formally establish themselves in the cultivation world. Those who had not reached this level had no status. The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator was only slightly longer than that of an ordinary person. If they took good care of themselves, they might live to be a hundred or twenty years old. However, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, if they were not killed or met with other idents, living to be one hundred and eighty years old was the most basic age. If they took good care of themselves, living to be two hundred years old was also normal.As for Foundation Establishment, the age of those who have reached this level is directly three hundred years old, even three hundred and fifty years old. And once they reach the Elemental Infant stage, it is another level altogether, almost reaching immortality. Because once the body of an Elemental Infant cultivator deteriorates, they still have a few options. One is to continue cultivating as a Loose Immortal, which is the best option. The second is to cultivate demonic spirits, and if that fails, they can possess another body, but this has a significant drawback. Thest option is reincarnation, which has an even greater drawback as it requires a guide to bring them back, and if they cannot awaken, they will be lost forever.


    Therefore, Foundation Establishment is the first threshold for cultivators, and it is a whole new world. Moreover, cultivators at this stage can already fly on swords for long distances. Once they can fly long distances, a cultivator''s vision will widen, and the true cultivation world will be revealed before them. That is why once a cultivator reaches the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, they are eager to advance to Foundation Establishment.


    But this hurdle is difficult to ovee, especially since Foundation Establishment Pills are rare. Even if one obtains them, they may not be able to establish a foundation due to their innate talent, aptitude, and foundation.


    The materials for Foundation Establishment Pills are not difficult to find, but they are not something that ordinary alchemists can refine. In the Heart Sect, only two people can refine them: Chen Shouyi and Hong Qing. Chen Shouyi is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and can often produce high-grade pills. On the other hand, Hong Qing is not as good, but he can still refine them sessfully, mostly producing low-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. However, because he can refine Foundation Establishment Pills, his status in the sect is also high, even though he is only at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The Heart Sect usually holds this kind of event once every two years. This year, because the sect was attacked, the higher-ups of the sect believed that they needed to quickly improve the overall strength of the sect, so they specially held thispetition.


    Mu Xiaoyin exined in detail, and Mi Xiaojing remained calm and said, "Hmm, I see."


    Zhang Ke''s face showed a hint of anxiety, and he said, "Junior Brother, why don''t you give it a try? Even if you don''t get first ce, you can still get a Foundation Establishment Pill. Even if it''s a low-grade one, it''s still better than nothing."


    Luo Bo seemed to understand and said, "Xiao Mi, is a Foundation Establishment Pill a good thing?"


    .


    "Of course, it''s a good thing."


    "Then let''s go grab it! I''ll help Xiao Mi grab it!"


    Everyoneughed.


    Mu Xiaoyin patted his head and said, "Wait until you reach the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining before you try to grab it. Your current strength is far from enough, hehe."


    Luo Bo clenched his fist and said, "Don''t worry, I will reach the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. Mu Sister, I''m about to break through to the early stage of Qi Refining!"


    Zhang Ke''s face turned slightly red. He had just reached the early stage of Qi Refining. If it weren''t for Mi Xiaojing giving him a Qi Refining Pill, he wouldn''t have been able to pass this hurdle. During his Evolutionary Immortality, his aptitude was not high, and even in cultivation, he progressed slowly.Mu Xiaoyin asked, "Junior Brother, are you going or not?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "I''m not going. I have to practice alchemy and cultivation. I don''t have time for that."


    Mu Xiaoyin was annoyed and after a while, she said, "Then how are you going to break through?"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled, "I have my ways to break through."


    Mu Xiaoyin said helplessly, "There won''t be any danger in such apetition. The elders of the sect are watching, and it''s not allowed to kill the opponent."


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "I can go and watch, but I won''t join."


    The reason he insisted on not participating was that Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to leave an impression on the higher-ups of the Heart Sect. He didn''t like the Heart Sect and even wanted to take revenge. The best way was to act low-key and quietly improve his strength.


    At this moment, someone knocked on the door.


    Lu Yu entered with a few of his subordinates. Mi Xiaojing went to greet him and said, "Big Manor Lord, howe you have time to visit?" In his heart, he already knew why this guy hade.

 Chapter 68: Lu Yus purpose of coming

    <h4>Chapter 68: Lu Yu''s purpose ofing</h4>


    .


    Lu Yu brought a lot of things with him, a total of more than tenrge boxes, piled up in the yard. He smiled and said, "What? Don''t wee me?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Please, have a seat inside."


    Lu Yu smiled slightly and walked into the room. He looked around and sighed, "It''s too simple. Do you want me to send someone to renovate this house?"


    Mi Xiaojing said indifferently, "No need, it''s enough to live in."


    The two sat down, and Mu Xiaoyin brought Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu to another room, leaving the two to discuss.


    Lu Yu said, "Do you know about the sectpetition this time? If you already know, will you participate?"


    Mi Xiaojing said lightly, "I won''t participate."


    Lu Yu was stunned, then realized, "Oh...I forgot, you probably don''t need Foundation Establishment Pills. Well, since you''re not participating, can you provide some pills? Whether it''s Qi Refining Pills or Clear Tranquility Pills, it''s all good. Of course, other pills are also fine. I need them all."


    Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment and said, "There''s one more thing. I need some materials. Hmm, here''s a list. See if you can collect them all." This list already implied the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.


    Lu Yu took the list and looked at it, nodding, "I should be able to collect them all."


    Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. The list he gave Lu Yu also contained some of the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. He didn''t dare to give them all at once, afraid that Lu Yu would notice something wrong. So he used two lists to collect the materials, which was safer.


    Quietly collecting the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, if Lu Yu collected them, he would have eight sets of materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. This was what he nned to use to refine the pills himself.


    The pill recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills was provided by Wang Weijun. It was an ancient pill recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills, and both the effect and the medicinal properties were stronger than the current Foundation Establishment Pills. This was also one of the important reasons why Mi Xiaojing was not interested in the sectpetition.


    Lu Yu misunderstood that Mi Xiaojing had already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pills from Chen Shouyi, and therefore valued him even more. Once he sessfully established his foundation, he would be on par with himself, and most importantly, he was a Pill Master. In the sect, a Pill Master was higher in status than an official, and his status was even higher.After chatting for a while, Lu Yu left feeling satisfied. He had been quite busytely, as many people knew he had spirit pills to trade after he had shown them off. With the uing sectpetition, everyone was eager for pills, whether it was Qi Refining Pills or Clear Tranquility Pills, as they were the most urgently needed items.


    Back in the room, Mi Xiaojing asked, "Sister Xiaoyin, when does thepetition start?"


    Mu Xiaoyin eximed with joy, "Wow, are you participating? I knew it, little junior brother would definitely go."


    Mi Xiaojing helplessly replied, "Sister, I''m not participating, I just wanted to know when it starts so I can watch the fun."


    Mu Xiaoyin deted, "Ah, really? I got my hopes up for nothing."


    "In ten days, thepetition will take ce on the cliff tform at the main peak of the sect. If you want to go, you need to leave a day in advance and it will take a day to get there."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Let''s all go watch the fun."


    Luo Bo cheered, as he was too lonely at home and having something to watch was better than anything. Even Zhang Ke smiled a little, and Wei Fu looked forward to it.


    Mu Xiaoyin alsoughed at the thought of watching the fun. It was a shame that Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t participate; otherwise, they could have gone to cheer him on.


    Mi Xiaojing nned to temporarily stop refining tools and wait until thepetition was over. With enough time, he could focus on refining tools seriously. After all, if he seeded in using Thunder Gang Wood to refine a weapon, it couldst a very long time, unless there was something better. He didn''t n on changing it.


    During this time, he mainly focused on alchemy, trying to familiarize himself with the process and gain experience. When it was time for him to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, he could increase his sess rate.


    **********


    Eight dayster, at Mu Xiaoyin''s urging, the group of them set off together. They formed a small family-like collective, with Mi Xiaojing as the leader and Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin as supporters, totaling five people.


    Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu, except for Zhang Ke, were all underage. Except for Mu Xiaoyin, they were all disciples of the Western Expansion Sect. With Mi Xiaojing as their leader, they formed a small team in the Heart Sect. They were like family, and their cohesion was extremely strong.


    Mu Xiaoyin led the way again this time. After getting up early in the morning, everyone was busy absorbing a strand of Qianyang Purple Qi, then washing up and having breakfast. After leaving the small courtyard, they headed down the mountain.On the road, many cultivators could be seen hurrying along. They were probably going to watch the excitement, and of course, some were participating in thepetition. Since low-level cultivators couldn''t fly, they could only walk there honestly. However, if one possessed a flying magical tool, they could fly there.


    However, such flying magical tools were extremely rare, and ordinary low-level cultivators simply couldn''t possess them. They were a group of cultivators who couldn''t even guarantee the most basic weapons.


    However, the footsteps of cultivators were extremely fast. Although they couldn''tpare to flying, they were much faster than riding a horse.


    Mi Xiaojing and the others quickly descended to the foot of the mountain and walked onto the main road. The usually deserted road was now crowded with many people, all of whom were cultivators who hade down from the mountain. There were also many ways of traveling.


    Some rode horses, some sat on fierce beasts, and Mi Xiaojing even saw a guy with a dark mass under his feet. His feet didn''t move, but his speed was faster than walking. He disappeared into the distance in a trail of ck smoke.


    Mu Xiaoyin admired, "Wow, this guy is actually using a spiritual ghost to travel... so fast!"


    When people in this world die under special circumstances, such as resentment or anger, they will condense into a ghost. By chance, they will be the lowest level of ghosts¡ªsmall ghosts.


    Low-level cultivators have a high possibility of bing ghosts after death. After a Foundation Establishment cultivator dies, the probability of bing a ghost is more than 50%. These ghosts are called big ghosts.


    Among the big ghosts, a small portion will cultivate. Once they seed, they be fierce ghosts. They can devour other ghosts, and over time, they will be spiritual ghosts. At this point, their strength will begin to skyrocket, even threatening cultivators.


    The guy just now was using a big ghost. Big ghosts can be captured and tamed. This person used a ghost to help him walk, not only making it easy but also showing off. Among low-level cultivators, there were quite a few who raised ghosts. However, good ghosts were hard to find and extremely difficult to tame.


    To tame and control ghosts, one needed at least one magical tool, a tool that could contain the ghost. Just this tool alone was enough to stump most low-level cultivators.


    Therefore, in the eyes of low-level cultivators, having a big ghost was an impressive feat.

 Chapter 69: Cliff Platform

    <h4>Chapter 69: Cliff tform</h4>


    "Mi Xiaojingughed, ''In the future, let''s catch a ghost to y with.''


    Mu Xiaoyin pped her hands and said, ''Good, good... I like it!''


    Luo Bo''s eyes sparkled as he said, ''Xiao Mi gege, I want to do it too...''


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, ''Hmm, let''s catch a few more. It would be best if each of us caught one!''


    Mu Xiaoyin chuckled and said, ''Little junior brother, it''s not easy to catch a ghost. Catching a ghost requires more luck than strength. First, you have to find a ghost, which most cultivators haven''t encountered before. Oh, and you also need a ghost-catching tool. Otherwise, when you encounter a ghost, you can only eliminate it, not catch it.''


    Luo Bo, still young and curious, asked, ''Why can''t we catch it?''


    Mu Xiaoyin raised a finger and said, ''There are prerequisites. Without a ghost-catching tool, when you encounter a ghost, you have no choice but to either eliminate it or leave on your own. But even if you want to leave, the ghost won''t let you.''


    .


    Luo Bo was disappointed and said, ''We don''t have a ghost-catching tool!''


    Mi Xiaojing grinned and said, ''We will, we will! Indeed, we will. He might not be able to obtain other things, but he has already gotten into refining tools, and his starting point is quite high. If necessary, he can refine a ghost-catching tool himself.


    As they journeyed, they chatted andughed, making their way easily. As they approached the main peak of the sect, there were more and more low-level cultivators, and asionally there were Foundation Establishment experts flying over their heads, which everyone was used to.


    From the mountain waist of the main peak extended a mountain ridge that seemed to have been swept by arge sword, forming a huge tform. There was a passage with cliffs on three sides, and this was the famous Cliff tform of the Sword Heart Sect, where manyrge-scale events were held.


    On one side of the Cliff tform, near the passage, there were rows of houses, and in front of the houses were a row of huge three-story wooden sheds. The bottom floor was thergest, the second floor was smaller, and the third floor was the smallest.


    This wooden shed was where people came to watch the excitement. The bottom floor was for low-level cultivators, the middle floor was for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the third floor on both sides was for Foundation Establishment Ancestors, with arge hall in the middle reserved for Elemental Infant experts.


    Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu came to the bottom floor of the wooden shed, where there were many tables and chairs, and everyone sat wherever they wanted. There were many ordinary mortals here, responsible for pouring tea and water.


    Since Mi Xiaojing and his group arrived early, they found a table in front and sat together. They could see the stone tform used for fighting clearly.


    The stone tform was veryrge, with an area of about a thousand square meters, and there were temporary wooden sheds around it.


    Mi Xiaojing was secretly surprised because there were so many people in the Sword Heart Sect. This was the first time he had seen so many cultivators. Of course, he could onlye into contact with low-level cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators were rare to him. Moreover, they all flew over andnded directly on the second-floor wooden building where they were.


    Various sword lights and flying postures opened their eyes, and in the Western Expansion Sect, they had never seen such a spectacr sight.


    The tables around them began to fill up, and the entire bottom floor gradually became crowded, with people having to sit in the wooden shed at the edge of the stone tform, which was much simpler. "ording to Mi Xiaojing''s calctions, there were only thousands of low-level cultivators. He curiously asked, "Senior Sister, why are there so many people?"


    Mu Xiaoyin was also surprised and shook her head, "I don''t know either. I didn''t know there were so many people before... Oh my god, more people areing in."


    It''s no wonder that the Sword Heart Sect has umted for at least thousands of years through generations of inheritance, with each hall cultivating their own people. If they are not concentrated, no one can know how many people there are, especially since the Sword Heart Sect covers arge area. These people are scattered and hardly ever meet.


    Even in the Grass-Benevolence Hall where Mi Xiaojing is located, they cannot know how many people there are in the hall, let alone how many low-level cultivators there are.


    As thergest local cultivation sect with thousands of cultivators, it is nothing impressive. There are tens of thousands of ordinary mortals who rely on cultivators for survival in the Sword Heart Sect. Once they get married and have children, when they reach six or seven years old, the sect''s cultivatorse to test whether they can cultivate.


    There is nopetition today. The formalpetition will begin tomorrow morning, so everyone has to wait here overnight. For cultivators, this is nothing special. They can just sit and cultivate at night.


    As the sun rises, Mi Xiaojing and four others at the table breathe towards the rising sun. In less than five minutes, everyone received a strand of Qianyang purple energy. This cultivation has already been done by everyone.


    As long as you learn this breathing method and absorb a strand of Qianyang purple energy, it will be helpful for cultivation and ascension, of course, the benefits will be even greater in the long run.


    With the sound of gongs and drums, the fourrge banners gradually rose at the corners of the stone tform.


    Everyone knows that this is a banner formation, specifically used to protect the stone tform and block any possible attacks from the outside.


    An old man floated down from the third floor of the wooden building to the stone tform.


    Mu Xiaoyin whispered, "This is our Sword Heart Sect''s Sect Leader, Mo Chentian. He is a great expert in the Elemental Infant stage."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and carefully observed the old man who was very imposing. Just by standing there, there was a faint pressure on him. Everyone consciously or unconsciously lowered their heads. It was a terrifying force, the level of oppression brought by a high-level cultivator that Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level could not withstand.


    "Amazing!"


    "Of course, he is a great expert in the Elemental Infant stage and a well-known figure in the cultivation world!"


    Mu Xiaoyin''s tone was full of admiration, pride, and even a hint of superiority.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t think much of it, but he understood that he was just a small ant in the Sword Heart Sect. Even the Western Expansion Sect where he originally belonged was probably just a slightlyrger ant in the eyes of the Sword Heart Sect, easily crushed with a single foot.


    Wang Weijun coldly snorted in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. If he hadn''t been destroyed before, he could have easily ttened this kind of sect. What a joke, an Elemental Infant stage cultivator, and even an early stage one at that.With a disdainful tone, Wang Weijun felt extremely upset in his heart because he, once a great master in the integration stage, was now being surpassed by a mere early-stage Elemental Infant. Back in the day, he was much more prestigious than this guy.


    "This isn''t really prestigious, is it? The other person is an old Elemental Infant monster, a great master in the Cultivation World, and a famous character!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t mind provoking him a bit.


    "He''s just a pile of dog shit. I can crush him to death with one finger... no, one toe! What the hell!"


    "What the hell? Is that a curse?"


    Currently, the performance of "Transcendent" is quite stable. Thank you all again for your rmendations and support! Also, "Transcendent" is currentlypeting for the Sanjiang rankings, so please help me out, everyone. We''re almost at the top! (*^__^*)...

    "What the hell? Is that an incantation?"


    "Pfft! That''s just me cursing!"


    "Ah...well, I don''t believe you no matter what you say."


    .


    Now it was Wang Weijun''s turn to feel like he was going to spit blood. "Pfft...do I need to lie to you? Geez..." He felt frustrated. He used to be able to destroy the Heart Sect with just one toe, but now he was powerless.


    "What the hell! What the hell!"


    "Hey, be quiet! I want to hear what he''s saying, stop making noise!"


    Wang Weijun disappeared quietly. He was too frustrated, and he couldn''t even curse. It was just too much.


    Mo Chentian only said a few words before flying up to the third floor. Mi Xiaojing didn''t hear what he said because he was interrupted by Wang Weijun.


    "What did he say?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "He didn''t say anything, it''s just the start of thepetition."


    Because there were so many people, thepetition was divided into groups.


    At the beginning of thepetition, few people were interested and were just chatting. Their attention was not on the field. Everyone knew that the exciting fights woulde at the end. Before that, there were many weak opponents, and there was hardly anything worth watching.


    Even if there were some powerful opponents, they wouldn''t reveal too much in the early stages of thepetition. It wasn''t time to fight yet, unless the opponent was equally powerful. In the early stages, such opportunities were rare.


    Mi Xiaojing''s table was different. They were still unfamiliar with the battles of cultivators, so even if thepetition wasn''t exciting, they were still interested. Any experience was worth absorbing.


    Not far from their table, there was a pair of cultivatorspeting.


    Mi Xiaojing watched curiously.


    They were both poor, and neither had a magical sword. One used a steel long sword, and the other used arge axe. They started with a flurry of attacks, and Mi Xiaojing was stunned.


    Bang!


    The steel sword hit the axe. Even though Mi Xiaojing wasn''t strong inbat, he could tell that neither of them had any experience in fighting. Even street brawls were more exciting than this.


    Suddenly, the person with the axe let go, and the axe flew and hit the opponent hard. The cultivator with the sword was delighted and swung his sword to deflect the axe. Just as he was about to step forward, his opponentughed and said, "You fell for it!"


    He raised his hand and cast an incantation, and the fire symbol turned into a ball of me and shot towards his opponent.


    The cultivator with the sword''s face changed drastically and cursed, "Bastard!" He swung his sword to cut the me, but he forgot that he was holding a sword made of steel, not a magical sword. The me stuck to the sword, and in an instant, the steel sword melted. He was so scared that he quickly threw away the steel sword.


    The opponent took out another fire symbol and said to him, "Admit defeat, and I won''t throw this one."


    "I admit defeat!"


    The opponent collected the fire symbol triumphantly and said with a smile, "Not bad, I saved a fire symbol. Hehe, I can use it in the next round! Thanks...Junior Brother."


    The defeated cultivator looked disappointed and said, "If only I had a protective symbol, I wouldn''t be afraid of you...but forget it, you won''t get far with just that fire symbol. There are plenty of powerful people out there. Only poor people like me can''t withstand your attacks."


    They left like this, and the match was over. Mi Xiaojing waspletely speechless. He thought he was poor enough, but he saw real poor people. With just one fire symbol, they could win. If he took out a magical sword, he could sweep everything.


    However, Mi Xiaojing soon saw a scene of two cultivators with magical swords. They were both basic magical swords, one red and one white. The red one had a fire spirit rune, but it didn''t form a spirit rune, just a few fire spirit runes engraved on it. After activation, the sword had the function of fire, which was the most rudimentary type of magical sword.The magical sword used by the opponent was reinforced with golden spirit patterns, but it did not form aplete spirit pattern. Instead, it was simply reinforced with a few golden spirit patterns, making it much stronger than a steel sword, and at least it would not be destroyed by the fire talisman.


    Of course, this kind of magical sword could not be thrown away, and could only be held in hand to fight with others.


    The fight between the two people this time was much more enjoyable, with orderly advances and retreats, and targeted attacks. Watching them, Mi Xiaojing''s eyes were dazzled. Just as he secretly praised them, he was scolded by Wang Weijun.


    "Is this a fight? What''s the difference between this and ordinary people? It''s not even as good as ordinary people who practice martial arts. It''s too weak, too weak to watch. Do you really want to gainbat experience from this?"


    Mi Xiaojing was helpless. He had never really fought before, and his personality was rtively peaceful. He didn''t like fighting and would rather practice alchemy and refining tools than fight. This was also rted to hisck ofbat experience.


    Wang Weijun also noticed this and couldn''t help but feel anxious. If Mi Xiaojing was not good at fighting, it would be troublesome when encountering danger. If he was killed by someone, Wang Weijun couldn''t save his own life either. This was not eptable!


    Since Mi Xiaojing had nobat experience, Wang Weijun decided to pass on his own experience to him.


    So, Mu Xiaoyin saw Mi Xiaojing''s eyes suddenly straighten, as if his body had suddenly be stiff, staring straight ahead. She curiously looked over and saw two cultivators fighting with magical swords, which was quite enjoyable to watch. The sparks generated when the magical swords collided were much more beautiful than other cultivators'' fights.


    In fact, when Mi Xiaojing suddenly received the inheritance, his mind became confused. The influx of arge amount of experience caused his brain to temporarily shut down, and he waspletely unable toprehend the outside world.


    Wang Weijun didn''t dare to pass on too much, only passing on thebat skills of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, as well as various experiences, the tricks of using magical tools, and the skills of avoiding injuries.


    When Mi Xiaojing finally came to his senses, he felt dizzy. However, this situation was not the first time it had happened, so he was already experienced. He just sat down and slowly breathed in and out, allowing his true qi to enter his brain bit by bit.


    A cool sensation enveloped his head, and after almost half a day, he finally woke uppletely. Once he gained this inherited experience, Mi Xiaojing becamepletely depressed when watching the fights on thepetition field. What was this?


    No wonder Wang Weijun scolded them; it was indeed too bad.


    In the Cultivation World, generally speaking, Qi Refining cultivators mostly practiced in their sects. If they could not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they would die of old age in the sect and would not have any chance to go out. Once they broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they would have to learn realbat skills and go through life-and-death trials.


    Only Foundation Establishment cultivators were qualified to mingle in the Cultivation World. Qi Refining cultivators had no qualifications to be outside. Therefore, rogue cultivators in the Cultivation World were the real powerhouses. They often struggled in the wilderness from the Qi Refining stage. If they could survive, theirbat experience would far exceed that of cultivators in the sects.


    Currently, "Transcendent" has a rtively stable ranking, thank you all for your support and rmendations! Also, "Transcendent" is currentlypeting for the Sanjiang List, so please help me, everyone, we are almost at the first ce! (*^__^*)¡­¡­


    Finally, thank you all for your daily rewards, I have seen them and will repay you with stable updates! Thanks again!

 Chapter 71: Top 10

    <h4>Chapter 71: Top 10</h4>


    Compared to rogue cultivators, only when they reach the Elemental Infant stage can cultivators in sects surpass them. The higher the cultivation level, the more this is the case, because sects haveplete cultivation legacies, while rogue cultivators have a harder time finding suitable cultivation techniques and resources. This is why cultivators are more willing to attach themselves to sects, as the legacies are orderly within sects, unlike rogue cultivators who never know where their next meal ising from. At every step, rogue cultivators have to work harder than those in sects.


    Mi Xiaojing squinted his eyes and observed for a moment. He knew that the battles of these low-level cultivators were no longer helpful to him.


    Sitting in his chair, Mi Xiaojing began to ponder how he could use his magical sword. He realized that the magical sword he refined was no worse than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In other words, if he were to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his weapon would not be his weakness. His weaknessy in his cultivation level, which was far behind that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    He had a magical sword, but he did not have any defensive magical artifacts. ording to his inheritance, defensive magical artifacts were also very important. As for disposable talismans, he did not value them. In addition, spirit pills were also very important, as they were needed for both cultivation and battle.


    Apart from refining magical swords with Thunder Gang wood, he nned to refine several defensive magical artifacts.


    The first day''spetition ended in the evening, with a total of thirty people passing. Twenty would be eliminated in the morning, and five spots would be contested in the afternoon, with the top five being listed. Once they won, they would receive a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    Mi Xiaojing cultivated all night.


    In the morning, the thirty low-level cultivators began to fight in groups.


    This battle was a bit more intense. If Mi Xiaojing had not received the inheritance from Wang Weijun, he would have been more interested. However, now that he had received it, he didn''t care much.


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing''sck of interest did not mean that others were not interested. Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu were all very interested. Even Mu Xiaoyin watched with relish. After all, the remaining thirty people were the best disciples of the Sword Heart Sect''s outer sect.


    Although they could notpare to the inner sect disciples, these thirty people were still considered elite among the sect''s low-level disciples.


    Mi Xiaojing basically stopped watching and silently cultivated, waiting for thepetition to end so that he could take his people and go home.


    The elimination of twenty people was quick. By the end of the morning, there were only ten people left. These were the true elite disciples of the outer sect, each with their own tricks and weapons of a certain level.


    There were three women and seven men, each at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, and each with their own magical artifacts.The afternoonpetition began. Mi Xiaojing became interested because it was a pair ofpetitions, with two people going up each time. The loser would step down, and the winner would continue. If they won two consecutive rounds, they would have a ranking.


    A man and a woman took the stage.


    Mi Xiaojing watched curiously as both of them had magical swords. With his eyes, he could see that there was a spiritual rune on each sword, which meant that these swords had entered the level of low-grade magical weapons. To low-level cultivators, these were high-ss weapons that were difficult to obtain.


    Both sides signed up and bowed, and thepetition began.


    "M¨´ Ti¨¡nhu¨¢, senior sister please!"


    "Ch¨¦n M¨¦i, senior brother please!"


    Both of them were polite, and they prepared to start the formal battle.


    At this point, Mi Xiaojing noticed the difference. These two people had undergone some training and had somebat experience. From their standing posture, he could tell that they were not inexperienced disciples.


    Ch¨¦n M¨¦i took out a symbol from her waist belt and activated it with a flick, causing a green light to rise and instantly protect her body.


    M¨´ Ti¨¡nhu¨¢ did the same, protecting his body with a symbol. He then used a magical technique and chanted an incantation, causing his magical sword to float in front of him, aimed at Ch¨¦n M¨¦i and ready to strike.


    The use of magical swords in battle increased the danger level significantly. Once the battle began, life and death were often decided in an instant. Therefore, both sides were very cautious, and this was why they used symbols to protect themselves as soon as they appeared. Even if they lost, they had to give the elders of the sect time to save them, and this was where the symbol came in handy.


    Ch¨¦n M¨¦i''s attack speed was very fast, her magical sword floating in front of her as she used magical techniques and incantations. The sword suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and she shouted, "Senior brother, receive the sword!"


    The magical sword fiercely attacked.


    M¨´ Ti¨¡nhu¨¢ sneered, "Good timing!"


    The silver light flickered, and if his eyesight was not good, he would not be able to see the speed at which the two were fighting. However, Mi Xiaojing could see everything clearly. His strength wasparable to that of the two fighters, so he could see the details of the fight clearly.


    Boom!


    The magical swords shed, creating a wave of impact. In an instant, the air around them distorted, and four banner formations appeared around the stone tform to block the impact within the tform, so as not to harm the audience outside.


    The two shed, their positions exchanged, and they retreated a distance. Originally, they were ten meters apart, but now they were nearly a hundred meters apart, but the magical swords were still entangled.Being able to fight without holding a magical sword in hand is verymon among Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it is quite rare among Qi Refining cultivators. Therefore, the onlookers let out a series of exmations and sighs.


    This person is a top expert among the low-level outer sect disciples. Once they obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, advancing would be an easy task. Of course, it must be a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. If it were a low-grade one, the chances of advancing would be much lower. After all, a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is almost like a waste pill, making it extremely difficult to establish a foundation.


    Mi Xiaojing lost interest after watching for a moment. He had received Wang Weijun''s battle inheritance, which was truly powerful. Watching this kind of fight was like a child''s y, and it seemed childish.


    Closing his eyes, Mi Xiaojing began to ponder how to refine the Thunder Gang wood into his own weapon, which was what he really cared about.


    Various shaking and rumbling sounds could not disturb Mi Xiaojing, as he had already sunk into deep and meticulous thinking. Refining tools is actually a very rigorous process. However, most cultivators rely on experience gained through long-term exploration and experimentation to refine weapons. If it were not for Mi Xiaojing receiving Wang Weijun''s refining tool inheritance, he would never have been able to sessfully refine his first weapon.


    This is the role of experience, and it has little to do with the actual method of refining weapons.

 Chapter 72: Han Chang

    <h4>Chapter 72: Han Chang</h4>


    With the same refining method and same steps, everyone''s technique for refining is different, and the differences are significant. However, when reaching a certain level, everyone''s methods will start to converge, ultimately reaching a simr level. Once this level is reached, the level of refining can be considered a master level.


    Reaching the level of a master refiner means being able to mentally simte the entire refining process. Mi Xiaojing inherited the skills of a master refiner, so even though he has just started refining, he has the ability to mentally simte the process.


    Of course, this also depends on the magical sword that Mi Xiaojing is refining. It is only a basic refining tool, and if he were to refine treasures or spiritual tools, he would be powerless without enough strength.


    As he continued to mentally simte, Mi Xiaojing became more and more impressed with Wang Weijun. His inherited experience in refining tools was truly miraculous, with every step and change having a corresponding response. How much experience in refining tools and how many things must one refine to reach this level?


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing had a strange feeling that everything around him became quiet. He woke up from his contemtion and asked, "Did thepetition end? Who won?"


    "That girl..." Zhang Ke smiled and said.


    Mi Xiaojing had already guessed that if only strength was considered, Mu Tianhua was actually stronger. But the result was that Chen Mei won, so she must have had other means.


    Wei Fudao said, "That sister used many talismans!"


    Mu Tianhua was in a sorry state, with several holes burned in his clothes and disheveled hair. He looked gloomy because he lost not because ofck of strength, butck of wealth.


    Mu Xiaoyinughed and said, "When ites to talismans, Mu Tianhua is far behind. Chen Mei is a disciple who specializes in refining talismans, and she refines them herself. He was sure to lose."


    It turned out that Chen Mei was a female disciple who specialized in refining talismans, which exined why she had used so many talismans.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh and say, "There are benefits to specializing in something!"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Of course, those who specialize in talismans, alchemy, or refining tools, and have this talent, will not have much difference in strength in the sect."


    .


    Having resources can also be traded with others and can change one''s strength. It''s no wonder that Chen Mei had a low-grade magical sword, which she probably obtained by trading with talismans.


    Chen Mei walked down the stone tform in high spirits, and a group of female cultivators not far away cheered to wee her.


    Mu Tianhua also had a group of low-level cultivators to wee him, but he looked a bit disappointed. He had lost the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, which meant he had lost the opportunity to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    In fact, only the first ce winner had a real chance of advancing. The four people who received the low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill still had a small chance of advancing, but if they received a medium-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, they would have a 50 to 60 percent chance of advancing.Having a 30% chance of advancing is better than having no chance at all. This is why so many low-level cultivators strive for the low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, even though they know it''s a useless pill. Regardless, there''s always hope, and one must fight for it. If lucky enough to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, the first hurdle on the path of cultivation will be crossed. From then on, the sky''s the limit, and a whole new realm will be entered.


    Mi Xiaojing had lost interest in watching and said, "I don''t want to watch anymore. If you want to continue, go ahead. I''m going back."


    ...


    Hong Qing sat on the second floor of the wooden building, where the high-level members of the sect in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages sat. He was only one step away from meeting the requirements for the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, so he could only sit on the second floor.


    A burly man sat next to him, grinning. "Senior Brother, I know you must have some Foundation Establishment Pills."


    Hong Qing looked smug and said nonchntly, "What''s it to you? Even if I have them, so what?"


    The burly man tried to please him. "Senior Brother, don''t be like that. I know you''re a great alchemist, and refining Foundation Establishment Pills is just a small matter. Haha!"


    Hong Qing thought to himself that refining Foundation Establishment Pills was easy? That was nonsense. Foundation Establishment Pills were never easy to refine. Compared to Chen Shouyi, his sess rate was much lower. After a year, he had only produced a few middle-grade pills, with most of them being useless. If he managed to get five or six middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, he would beughing.


    So Hong Qing did indeed have some Foundation Establishment Pills, but the quantity was extremely limited. Even after umting them for years, he wouldn''t have more than ten, and they were all middle-grade pills. He didn''t have a single top-grade pill. Nevertheless, he was considered a rich man in many people''s eyes and a target worth buttering up.


    Hong Qing shook his head and said to Han Chang, "You know as well as I do that there aren''t that many Foundation Establishment Pills. Even if I have them, I won''t give them to you."


    Han Chang looked crestfallen and said, "Senior Brother, can you give me one? I have a brother who needs it...hehe."


    Hong Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think Foundation Establishment Pills are candy? No!"


    Are you kidding me? You need Foundation Establishment Pills, so I have to give them to you? Who doesn''t need Foundation Establishment Pills? Even if a Foundation Establishment Ancestor asks for them, the answer is still no! Moreover, even though Han Chang was a skilled fighter and belonged to the sect''s elitebat personnel, Hong Qing didn''t care about him.


    Han Chang said, "I knew it. I didn''t n on asking for it for free. How about a trade?"


    Hong Qing smiled and said, "Oh? What do you have to trade?"


    Han Chang said, "Last time, I got a string of Prayer Beads used by an Evolutionary Immortal. Do you want it? It''s a high-quality weapon that can reach the state of meditation. Hehe, the quality of these beads is quite high!"


    Hong Qing said, "I''m not interested in Evolutionary Immortal weapons. Besides, a Prayer Bead that''s equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage isn''t anything special. If you have a Prayer Bead that''s used by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, that would be a different story." He said it without really meaning it.Han Chang couldn''t help but exim, "Come on, Senior Brother, the Awareness Stage is equivalent to the master level in Evolutionary Immortality, and it''s equal to the Foundation Establishment stage. How could I possibly get a weapon of such a master?"


    Hong Qing pursed his lips and said, "In Evolutionary Immortality, only those who have reached the Awareness Stage may have better weapons. Evolutionary Immortals are all poor, a single weapon can be used for a lifetime, and even be passed down. Only these kinds of weapons are not bad, don''tpare others with us."


    Han Chang was a little disheartened. After a while, he said, "How about I add some Spirit Stones to this string of Prayer Beads?"

 Chapter 73: Bargaining

    <h4>Chapter 73: Bargaining</h4>


    Hong Qing was actually a little tempted. The prayer beads for ascension had limited effects on cultivators, but there was one function that they all liked: wearing the prayer beads could have a certain influence on their state of mind, allowing them to rx and calm down. This effect was beneficial for both alchemy and cultivation. However, if there was a prayer bead that was one level higher than one''s own, the effect would be even better. Han Chang had brought out a prayer bead that was at the same level as Hong Qing''s, so it would be less helpful for him. This was also the reason why Han Changcked confidence. If he had a prayer bead that was one level higher, he wouldn''t be hesitating and could simply exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill. Of course, he wouldn''t ask Hong Qing to exchange with him.


    Hong Qing asked, "How many spirit stones do you want?"


    Han Chang hesitated for a moment. He didn''t have many spirit stones, and cultivation consumed them quickly. He was currently striving for the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and needed a lot of resources. So he was a poor guy and said, "Twenty low-grade spirit stones... um, thirty! "


    Seeing the disdainful expression on Hong Qing''s face, he immediately increased the quantity by fifty percent.


    Hong Qing said calmly, "One hundred low-grade spirit stones, fixed price."


    Han Chang paled and said, "Why don''t you just rob me!"


    "I never rob. You''re the one who''s used to it," Hong Qing said.


    Han Chang said, "That''s too much. At most forty low-grade spirit stones."


    "One hundred!" Hong Qing insisted.


    "Senior brother, don''t be like this... Fifty spirit stones. I really don''t have any more. That''s all," Han Chang pleaded.


    "One hundred!" Hong Qing repeated.


    "Senior brother, senior brother, lower it a bit. You''re a master, don''t be so petty," Han Chang said.


    Hong Qing said expressionlessly, "One hundred!"


    Han Chang wanted to punch him, but he didn''t dare. "Senior brother... we''ve been friends for many years. Can''t you help me a little? Sixty. Thest price, sixty..."


    "Deal!" Hong Qing said.


    Han Chang was almost yed to death by Hong Qing. He stared at Hong Qing in disbelief. Did he just agree?


    In fact, when Han Chang said fifty, Hong Qing had already agreed in his heart. He just deliberately didn''t let go and wanted to see what Han Chang would do. When it reached eighty low-grade spirit stones, he knew that it was almost the limit. So he agreed without hesitation.


    Han Chang felt extremely depressed. When it came to bargaining, he couldn''t beat Hong Qing even if he became three people. Since he started alchemy, he had never suffered a loss in any transaction. His pills were scarce items, and the price was either an exchange or a fixed amount. He didn''t care either way.


    The transaction waspleted, and Han Chang was unhappy, but Hong Qing was feeling refreshed. He had been wanting a prayer bead for ascension to assist in cultivation and alchemy, but he had never found a suitable one. Although this prayer bead was not his ideal one, it was better than nothing. Plus, he had also received a lot of low-grade spirit stones, making him feel that it was still worth it.


    "I suffered a big loss this time. Senior brother is really amazing, forcing me to give in," Han Chang said.Han Chang calmed his emotions. Although he was taken advantage of by Hong Qing, he was still quite satisfied. If it weren''t for his good rtionship with Hong Qing, it would be difficult for him to be taken advantage of. In other words, even if you have something valuable, Hong Qing might not necessarily trade with you. This is the power of an Alchemy Pill Master; they don''t need to tter others, as people naturallye to seek their help.


    A medium-grade Foundation Establishment Pill could basically create a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In other words, Han Chang could exchange it for the friendship and gratitude of a potential Foundation Establishment cultivator. Of course, such a pill wouldn''t be given for free; a trade was required.


    In the Heart Sect, such trades could be made on credit. For example, if Han Chang were to give a Foundation Establishment Pill to a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, that person would have to trade something in return. If they didn''t have anything valuable enough, they could make a promise. Once their Foundation Establishment was sessful, they would have to fulfill their promise to Han Chang, and such promises were often quite demanding.


    Han Chang had several Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators under him who were stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage. He could simply go back and let these cultivators propose their own conditions and choose one to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to.


    In any case, Han Chang knew that he wouldn''t lose out in this transaction. Although it seemed like Hong Qing had taken advantage, the real winner was Han Chang. Not only could he gain arge sum, but he could also obtain some good promises, such as forming an alliance with the promoted cultivator. If he encountered any problems he couldn''t solve, that person would have to help him unconditionally.


    Hong Qing stared at Han Chang and said, "Don''t talk about losing out; would you ever lose out? Stop talking nonsense... You''re not the type to lose out!"


    Han Changughed awkwardly, stood up, and said, "I have something to do, so I''ll take my leave." He got up and bid farewell, while Hong Qing nodded and didn''t bother him anymore.


    ...


    Mi Xiaojing had already left the cliff and was heading home, with the others following him. Zhang Ke and Luo Bo were discussing the battle between cultivators with great enthusiasm. They were truly amazed and shocked by the battle, as they didn''t have Wang Weijun''s experience inbat. Seeing such a fight made them feel awe-struck.


    Zhang Ke said, "If I had a magical sword, my strength would definitely increase significantly, and I could participate in battles too!"


    Luo Boughed and said, "Forget it, you can''t even fight."


    Zhang Ke retorted, "Little guy, don''t underestimate me. I used to be quite tough, you know. I once fought off several strong men by myself!"


    Wei Fu couldn''t help but curl his lip. He was also from the Western Evolutionary Sect, and although he was young, he knew a lot. Zhang Ke was actually quite a coward, the type who couldn''t aplish anything even if he tried his hardest. He was very honest and loyal, and apart from talking a lot with acquaintances, he was very reserved with strangers. How could he possibly fight?


    Mi Xiaojingughed and said, "Forget it, he''s just joking."


    Ever since Zhang Ke came to Mi Xiaojing''s side, his body began to regain its plumpness, and a naive smile appeared on his chubby face. He said, "I can learn, you know. I feel like... my mind has be sharper since I started cultivating."


    Mu Xiaoyin giggled, "Fat uncle, were you really dumb before?"


    Zhang Ke was rendered speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I was just honest, not dumb... Kids these days, they don''t have any respect... Let the wind blow it away!"


    Everyoneughed.


    A sh of sword light passed by, and a personnded. It was Han Chang, who had just parted ways with Hong Qing.


    Mi Xiaojing and Zhang Ke caught sight of him, and their hearts almost stopped beating. This was the cultivator who had killed Master Zeng Li with a single sword strike.

 Chapter 74: Start the furnace

    <h4>Chapter 74: Start the furnace</h4>


    Han Chang nced at Mi Xiaojing and hispanions, beckoning them over. He pointed to Zhang Ke, who was the only adult among them, the rest being children.


    Zhang Ke''s heart stopped beating. He remembered this person, who had killed Master Zeng Li with a single sword strike. He left a deep impression on him with his ferocity and ruthlessness.


    His whole body froze, and he was about to be scared to death by this guy.


    Curiously, Han Chang looked at Zhang Ke and said, "Hey,e here!"


    Mi Xiaojing walked forward with a stiff scalp and asked, "What''s the matter?" He was resentful, but being young, he tried to remain calm, but his face betrayed a hint of coldness.


    Han Chang was a little surprised by Mi Xiaojing, but he soon realized that this child was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, which was rare in the Heart Sect. He saw the prayer beads on Mi Xiaojing''s wrist and was taken aback.


    That was something only Evolutionary Immortals had. It was not something ordinary cultivators, especially those in the Qi Refining stage, could get their hands on.


    "Let me see... Where did you get these prayer beads?"


    Han Chang had forgotten why he had stopped these people. His attention was focused on the prayer beads on Mi Xiaojing''s wrist.


    Mi Xiaojing, of course, didn''t want to show him, shaking his head and saying, "Mine..." He covered the prayer beads with his sleeve and became defensive.


    Han Changughed, "Hey, kid, give it to me!"


    Mi Xiaojing said firmly, "No!" His hand was already on his storage bag, in a standardbat stance.


    Zhang Ke pulled Luo Bo and Wei Fu back and signaled for Mu Xiaoyin to step back.


    Han Chang''s face darkened. He couldn''t tolerate this; this little guy was simply unreasonable. How dare he treat a senior like this? He was asking for death.


    Mu Xiaoyin shouted, "We are from Grass-Benevolence Hall! We are disciples of Master Chen Shouyi!"


    Han Chang was about to act, but when he heard this, he hesitated. Chen Shouyi! He knew that he was a master alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage. If these people were his disciples, he would have to be careful. He could offend anyone, but he couldn''t offend a master alchemist.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that the gap between the two sides was huge. If he acted, he would be killed almost instantly. However, when Mu Xiaoyin spoke, it was evident that the other side''s attitude softened.


    "Okay, you''re young and have a bad temper..."


    He suddenly kicked Mi Xiaojing, knocking him down, and shouted, "You should be respectful to your seniors! Even if you''re Master Chen''s disciple, you still need to be taught a lesson!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up, and in an instant, a sword light flickered, and he was already far away.


    Mi Xiaojing''s face turned iron blue. He hated his own powerlessness. He got up, dusted himself off, and said in a low voice, "Let''s go!"


    The group silently followed Mi Xiaojing back home.


    Luo Bo hurried a few steps and came to Mi Xiaojing''s side. He reached out and grabbed his sleeve, while Mu Xiaoyin walked to the other side of Mi Xiaojing and also reached out to grab his sleeve.


    "I''m fine... Don''t worry, everyone."


    Mi Xiaojing''s heart was in turmoil. He decided to put everything else aside and refine the Foundation Establishment Pill first, breaking through to be a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Only then would he have the strength to resist. Otherwise, he would have no resistance and it would be too suffocating.


    .


    Back at Qingmu Peak, Mi Xiaojing asked Zhang Ke to take the others back to the small courtyard while he went straight to the Pill Room.Mi Xiaojing had already prepared the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. So far, he had gathered nine sets of materials. The only problem was the pill furnace in the pill room. The furnace was of too low a level. It was fine for refining Qi Refining pills, but for Foundation Establishment Pills, it posed a significant issue.


    The low-level pill furnace was due to the fewer spiritual patterns on it, which made it much harder to control. This had nothing to do with the level of alchemy but was purely due to the inferior quality of the tool. Mi Xiaojing had no choice, as he had no better pill furnaces at hand.


    Mi Xiaojing''s only reliance was the alchemy experience inherited from Wang Weijun. Relying on this experience, he forcefully attempted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he had no confidence in his heart.


    With the nine sets of materials, he only needed to produce one high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, or at worst, two mid-quality ones.


    To be on the safe side, Mi Xiaojing called Wang Weijun in his mind.


    Wang Weijun appeared in Mi Xiaojing''s mind andughed, "Rare, rare... You actually came to find me... Haha, good, good, good!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t waste time and said, "I''m going to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."


    "Then go ahead and refine it. Why did you call me out... Do you want to ask something?"


    "Can a low-level pill furnace sessfully refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"


    "Others can''t, but you can... However, the sess rate will be much lower."


    "I have nine sets of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Can I sessfully refine at least one pill?"


    "Haha, I can''t say for sure. If it were me refining, at least half of the nine sets would be sessful."


    "Alright, I understand."


    In the lowest-level pill room, there was only a low-level pill furnace. Mi Xiaojing had no choice but to use it, as he couldn''t use Chen Shouyi''s pill furnace. If he used that furnace, he would have been confident in producing a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill. Now, he could only rely on the low-level pill furnace and try his luck.


    Using the lowest-level pill furnace to refine the rtively advanced Foundation Establishment Pill was something even Wang Weijun had never done before. However, he had a hunch that with the experience he had inherited, Mi Xiaojing might seed.


    The first furnace of pills failed!


    The second furnace of pills still failed!


    ...


    The seventh furnace of pills produced a low-quality Foundation Establishment Pill! Sess!


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill and couldn''t help but let out a sigh of relief. It was too difficult. He had many exquisite alchemy techniques, but due to the poor quality of the pill furnace, he couldn''t fully utilize them. He felt like he was walking on a tightrope, very cautious and apprehensive. It was extremely frustrating.


    It wasn''t until the seventh furnace of pills that Mi Xiaojing finally grasped a pattern and seemed to have hope for sess. However, he only had two sets of materials left, so he became even more cautious.


    Mi Xiaojing sat in front of the pill furnace but didn''t rush to continue refining. Instead, he began to practice Ascension, chanting mantras. In an instant, he calmed down, and his mind became clear and bright.


    An hourter, Mi Xiaojing put down his prayer beads, rubbed his face vigorously, and stared at the pill furnace. He began to rethink the entire alchemy process, looking for shorings. Each alchemy attempt was a process of reflection. Only in this way could he have hope for sess in the new alchemy attempt.


    After repeatedly thinking and consulting Wang Weijun, there were still some questions that even he couldn''t answer. Even with the inheritance, he couldn''t unravel them because Wang Weijun had never used a low-level pill furnace to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

 Chapter 75: Conflict

    <h4>Chapter 75: Conflict</h4>


    With Wang Weijun''s rich experience, he was able to answer Mi Xiaojing''s questions. As he seeded once, there were no longer any problems with the entire alchemy process. The only thing to pursue was the details. Once Mi Xiaojingpletely mastered it, the hope of sess would be greater.


    Sure enough, the eighth pill was sessful again, and this time, a middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was obtained.


    After summarizing and discussing with Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing prepared to refine thest pill. Even if he wanted to refine more, it was not possible for now. Thest material was thest opportunity, and Mi Xiaojing wanted a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, not a middle-grade one.


    Reciting the incantation again, the benefits of Evolutionary Immortality made it easy for people to calm down and think clearly. This became one of Mi Xiaojing''s means, not for the purpose of Evolutionary Immortality, but to prepare for alchemy.


    Half an hourter, Mi Xiaojing began to refine thest pill, and he still went all out.


    After refining the first eight pills, Mi Xiaojing''s techniques became more proficient, and his way of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was different from that of the Sword Heart Sect. He used ancient alchemy, which relied on methods that could minimize the dependence of the pill on the pill furnace. By controlling the magical technique and incantation to the extreme, he could achieve the goal of refining the pill.


    The ninth pill was sessful!


    A high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was obtained, and Mi Xiaojing smiled. It was really not easy.


    Wang Weijun was also shocked in his heart. This child''s talent was simply rare. If he could take over this body, he had the confidence to further improve his strength. This child''s aptitude was much better than his back then.


    Suppressing his excitement, Wang Weijun said, "Very good, very good. You are the smartest child I have ever seen to be able to use a low-grade pill furnace to refine a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."


    Mi Xiaojing was also very happy, and with Wang Weijun''s constant coaxing, his guard against this guy had decreased a lot.


    With a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill with seven spiritual lines, Mi Xiaojing was sure that he could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. This was a big deal for him. It meant that he had truly stepped into the path of cultivation. Only those who entered the Foundation Establishment stage could be considered to have truly stepped into the door of cultivation, and a new world was about to unfold before him.


    Carefully cing the Foundation Establishment Pill, a high-grade one, which was also a precious pill in the Sword Heart Sect, meant that it could add a Foundation Establishment stage expert to the sect. Therefore, as long as it was sessfully refined, the sect would collect it. This was also why Chen Shouyi and other pill masters did not want to do it, except for the mandatory sect tasks. They would secretly refine pills as their hidden ie.


    Of course, if the sect found out, these sessfully refined Foundation Establishment Pills would be taken away.


    After thoroughly cleaning the pill room, Mi Xiaojing left the pill room and walked towards home at a fast pace. He was eager to advance and did not want to waste any time.As Mi Xiaojing approached the small courtyard, he heard the sound of arguing inside. He walked up to the door but didn''t rush in, instead standing and listening to the argument.


    "Get out! This is my courtyard, my house. How dare you little kids upy this ce? Get out! Don''t force me to take action!"


    The voice was strange, as if the speaker was pinching his nose while talking, and had a muffled tone.


    "This courtyard was assigned to us. If you have the ability, go to the Grass-Benevolence Hall and ask for it. The sect assigned us to live here, so we live here. If the sect tells us to leave, we will leave..."


    This was the crisp voice of Mu Xiaoyin.


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised. When he first came in, he had heard that this courtyard used to belong to a Foundation Establishment senior, who had been assumed dead by the sect since there had been no news of him. He didn''t expect the person to have returned.


    "I don''t care how the sect arranges things. I only know that this courtyard is mine! Get out!"


    "You''re being unreasonable!"


    Mi Xiaojing walked into the courtyard without saying a word and saw a disabled man.


    He was a middle-aged man who looked a bit miserable, missing one arm and one leg. He had a deep scar on his face that ran diagonally from his right eyebrow to his left jaw, and half of his nose was missing. No wonder he spoke strangely.


    When Mu Xiaoyin and the others saw Mi Xiaojing, they seemed to have found their backbone. Mu Xiaoyin ran to his side and pulled his sleeve, saying, "Junior brother, this man wants to take our home!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay attention to the ambiguity in Mu Xiaoyin''s words. He took a step forward and said, "We are not here to live, but the sect assigned us here..."


    The man shouted, "Bullshit! Get out!"


    Mi Xiaojing said coldly, "Can''t you speak properly? If you can''t, get out!" He was angry at the man''s inability tomunicate.


    The man''s scarred face twisted, "Good, haha, good, very good. A Qi Refining little bastard dares to talk to his senior like this... You''re looking for death! Since you won''t leave, I''ll take care of you myself... Get out!"


    Mi Xiaojing began to be on guard. Although Wang Weijun had inherited a lot ofbat experience, even some bizarrebat experience, he had never actually fought before and was a bit at a loss.


    The man suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Zhang Ke, throwing him out with a flick of his wrist. Zhang Ke flew out of the courtyard wall, followed by Luo Bo, who was also thrown out. Mi Xiaojing was furious, "Stop!"


    The man sneered, grabbed Wei Fu and threw him out as well. Although he had only one arm and one leg, he moved as fast as lightning. Zhang Ke and the others couldn''t even react in time. The gap between the two sides was too great. The man was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, after all.Mi Xiaojing fiercely pped his storage bag, and the Thunderbolt Sword flew out with a crack, turning into a dazzling sword light, stabbing towards that person.


    That person was indeed startled by Mi Xiaojing. He didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to have a Magical Sword, and he recognized at a nce that this Magical Sword was extraordinary. A thunder-attribute Magical Sword was quite rare. His body swayed violently like a willow branch in a strong wind, dodging in an instant.


    Crack...


    A harsh sound.


    A red line of fire appeared around that person, which was his Magical Sword, a sword with spiritual patterns.


    Suddenly reaching out, the man grabbed the hilt of the Magical Sword and swung it up fiercely. Thunder and sparks scattered, and the harsh friction sound made people shiver all over, it was too unpleasant to hear.

 Chapter 76: First battle

    <h4>Chapter 76: First battle</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing''s face was calm. Once he started, countless battle experiences shed in his mind. The first rule of battle was to remain calm, so he quickly suppressed the kind of boiling blood that he had when he was preparing to fight. Instead, he became extremely calm. This was the benefit of having a heritage.


    Mi Xiaojing took a step forward, and his Thunder Sword was almost knocked away. After all, his strength was not enough.


    The man was a little surprised. He didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to dare to take action, and the attack did not reveal any obvious ws. His sword control was also quite good.


    "Good! Kid, if you can withstand my attack, I''ll give you this courtyard."


    Mi Xiaojing was fully focused on his magical sword. The unique feeling made him cheer in his heart and tremble with excitement. The tension unique to battle made it difficult for him to calm down, but experience told him that he had to remain calm in order to truly capture the opportunity.


    Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu were hiding outside the courtyard door, watching the battle between Mi Xiaojing and the man.


    Mu Xiaoyin kept retreating until she reached the corner of the courtyard wall. She clenched her fists and nervously watched the battle between Mi Xiaojing and the man. The sect did not prohibit private fights, but killing was not allowed. However, this rule was not strict. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator killed a Qi Refining disciple without the intervention of elders, it would not be a big deal.


    Mi Xiaojing could no longer withstand the attacks. The gap in their magical swords was one thing, but the opponent''s strength was one realm higher than his. This difference was like night and day. If Mi Xiaojing had no other means, he would lose.


    The man was getting more and more shocked as they fought. The opponent''s sword control technique was unheard of. If it weren''t for his insufficient strength, he felt that he might have been killed by his opponent. He was in danger several times and relied on his strong strength to collide with his opponent, preventing his opponent from using hisst move. Gradually, he found that it was not wise topete with Mi Xiaojing in terms of technique. Crushing with strength was the way to go.


    Although Mi Xiaojing was bing increasingly overwhelmed, he was not afraid and continued to fight fiercely, even at the cost of his magical sword being damaged. His Thunder Sword was refined by himself, so even if it was destroyed, he still had a Thunder Strike Dagger. If he had the opportunity, he would love to see both his Thunder Sword and the opponent''s magical sword destroyed.


    Finally, the man lost patience. No matter what, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not defeat a Qi Refining kid in one go. It was really hard for him to ept.


    "Kid! Admit defeat and get lost, or don''t me me for using my ultimate move!"


    Mi Xiaojing was fully immersed in the battle and had no idea what the man was saying. He was only focused on thebination of magical techniques and incantations, making him unable to spare any attention. After all, it was his first serious battle. How could he dare to be distracted?


    However, as the man drove his magical sword and the attacks became more and more ferocious, Mi Xiaojing''s magical sword clearly couldn''t hold on any longer.mes and lightning circled around the courtyard as the two fought for nearly two minutes. Suddenly, the Lightning Sword copsed, turning into a sky full of electric arcs and shattering into dust in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Mi Xiaojing had alreadyunched the Lightning Dagger.


    The Lightning Dagger had aplete spirit pattern, although it wasn''t top-tier, it still allowed the Lightning Dagger to disy its full potential. The Lightning Dagger summoned a ferocious thunderbolt that resembled a thunder dragon at a nce.


    The man was greatly rmed and drove his Magical Sword with all his might, transforming it into a scorching hot fire stream that resembled a fire dragon.


    Crack! Boom!


    The man could no longer control his body as a huge force struck him. In an instant, both Mi Xiaojing and the man were sent flying. The man crashed into the courtyard wall, breaking it down.


    Mi Xiaojing also destroyed the courtyard wall and fell to the ground.


    The man roared in anger, driving his Magical Sword to fly directly into the air, and shot out a sword with a howling sound.


    Mi Xiaojing raised his hand, and the Lightning Dagger flew out again. The Magical Sword with a spirit pattern burst out a series of silver-blue electric arcs.


    Boom!


    The man was also frightened by Mi Xiaojing. He could never have imagined that the kid would have two Magical Swords. He felt a bit panicked, not because he was afraid of the two Magical Swords, but because he thought that it would be impossible for someone who could possess two Magical Swords and seize the residence of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to not have some background.


    .


    Bullying a Qi Refining disciple would not put any burden on the man, but bullying a disciple with a background could have serious consequences. If he were to provoke the people behind him, he didn''t think he could withstand it.


    The sword that was originally cut out with great force had already weakened by eighty percent when it collided with Mi Xiaojing''s Magical Sword.


    Mi Xiaojing grunted. He had already suffered a minor injury. Even though his opponent had restrained some of his power, he still couldn''t handle it. Fortunately, his Lightning Dagger was very powerful, helping him block most of the force.


    Originally nning to attack continuously, the man''s heart weakened when he thought of Mi Xiaojing''s possible deep background. He knew that the Cultivation World was quite cruel, and provoking a disciple with a background could be unbearable if it angered the elders.


    "Kid, you can''t beat me, so stop!"


    Mi Xiaojing covered his chest, feeling extremely suffocated from the attack. He casually took out a Clear Tranquility Pill and threw it into his mouth. This pill was the most effective for healing minor injuries. As soon as the pill went down, his chest felt much better.


    The man''s eyes widened in shock. He knew that such a small injury would heal after two days of meditation, but the kid actually used a pill to heal it. That was such a waste!


    "You, you have, you have Clear Tranquility Pills?"


    "What''s it to you?"


    Mi Xiaojing''s Lightning Dagger circled around him, bringing up a series of silver lights. He looked at his opponent warily.


    "Are you a disciple of Grass-Benevolence Hall?"


    The man looked at Mi Xiaojing with hope in his heart and asked.


    Mi Xiaojing was extremely curious in his heart. Who would stop in the middle of a fight to ask who your master was?


    Mu Xiaoyin shouted from the corner of the courtyard wall, "We are disciples of Chen Shouyi!" In a sect, especially in a sect like Heart Sect, having a master and not having a master were twopletely different concepts. In fact, Mi Xiaojing was not Chen Shouyi''s apprentice, but it wasn''t wrong to call him a disciple.


    A trace of fear finally appeared on the man''s face. He knew who Chen Shouyi was - a Foundation Establishment expert.

 Chapter 77: Gathering Spirit Array

    <h4>Chapter 77: Gathering Spirit Array</h4>


    "Wang Weijun suddenly appeared in my mind: ''Be careful, the other party might kill us to keep their secret!''"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled and immediately became alert, asking, "What should we do?"


    Wang Weijun suggested, "Find a way to threaten them so they won''t dare to attack."


    The person''s eyes showed a hint of fear, but soon a fierce light emerged. Thanks to Wang Weijun''s reminder, Mi Xiaojing sneered, "You know what will happen if you kill a junior in the Heart Sect!"


    Mu Xiaoyin reacted quickly and said, "He won''t dare. I have a master''s protective talisman. If anything happens to me, my master will know immediately."


    The person was surprised again. Although this kind of talisman existed, it was expensive and not given to people who were not close. Once it was on the owner''s body, it was a warning. Anyone who dared to kill the owner would face the wrath of their elders.


    Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that they were safe without Wang Weijun''s reminder.


    The person looked deeply at Mi Xiaojing and suddenly jumped into the air. In an instant, a sword light shed, and when they looked again, he had already flown away.


    Mi Xiaojing sat on the ground, his arms shaking violently. He was scared, but the excitement of the battle made him quickly regain hisposure.


    He didn''t even know who the opponent was after the fight. He had just fought against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If the opponent had not been cautious, they would have been in danger.


    ording to Wang Weijun''s words, even if the person killed them, there would be no one to hold them ountable. Of course, he didn''t know Mu Xiaoyin''s background. Wang Weijun naturally excluded her, thinking that she had no one to support her.


    But it was precisely because of Mu Xiaoyin that the person had real concerns. He temporarily left to investigate Mi Xiaojing and his group''s background. If they were really disciples of Chen Shouyi, he would have to leave temporarily and wait for an opportunity to retaliate."He''s called Tian Cang. It is said that after he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he went out to experience and never returned. It''s been decades, and everyone thought he died outside, but he''s back now."


    "Tian Cang!"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "I got it. Everyone should do what they need to do. Don''t be afraid. I''m here."


    Touching his storage bag, Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "As long as I have a few days, when I advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I won''t be helpless anymore."


    Alone, he walked into the cave behind the house and ordered Zhang Ke to rest with the others in the room. He needed some time to meditate.


    As long as he could sessfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Mi Xiaojing believed he could protect Zhang Ke and the others. At the very least, they wouldn''t be harassed. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage was already quite high in the sect''s hierarchy, equivalent to the middle of a pyramid, and was rarely discriminated against or disturbed.


    Entering the cave, which was not very big, Mi Xiaojing found a spiritual spring. Although the spring''s flow was small, only as thick as a finger, the spiritual energy it brought was still quite abundant. However, it was not enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Sitting beside the spring, Mi Xiaojing felt a little worried. If he couldn''t absorb enough spiritual energy, it would be dangerous to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Once the spiritual energy was exhausted, he might not be able to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.


    After all, Mi Xiaojing''s knowledge was limited, so he needed someone to guide him.


    "I n to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and I have the Foundation Establishment Pill, but I don''t have enough spiritual energy. What should I do?"


    Wang Weijun smiled proudly. He didn''t want to make things difficult for Mi Xiaojing, but he thought that when the young man was in trouble, he had already thought of him and came to ask for advice. This was a good sign, indicating that the young man was beginning to rely on him.


    "No problem. Just make a Gathering Spirit Array in the cave. It''s a simplebination of talismans, but you''ll need to consume quite a few spirit stones."


    "I have some spirit stones. I exchanged them for pills. How many do I need?"


    "How many spirit stones do you have? There are different sizes of Gathering Spirit Arrays, and of course, the smallest one requires at least nine spirit stones."


    "I have about a hundred spirit stones."


    "Not bad. You''re already a rich man as a Qi Refining disciple!"Sometimes Wang Weijun felt heartbroken when he thought about his past. Back when he was at the Qi Refining stage, he was extremely poor and had nothing. Everything he had was obtained through his own hard work, fighting and struggling, seizing and robbing, and resorting to deceit. The Foundation Establishment Pill he had obtained back then was the result of him killing a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, and for that, the cultivator''s elders had chased after him for more than a decade.


    It was during that time that Wang Weijun stepped onto an ancient teleportation array and arrived on another, slowly growing stronger.


    Whenever he thought about his past, Wang Weijun felt extremely bitter and resentful towards the two super experts who had destroyed his physical body. If it wasn''t for them, he wouldn''t have been trapped inside Mi Xiaojing''s body, constantly trying to please him in order to gain his trust and eventually take over his body.


    Wang Weijun had beautiful thoughts, so he put even more effort into guiding Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing began to draw a t Gathering Spirit Array, which was the simplest and easiest array to set up. The truly advanced Gathering Spirit Arrays were three-dimensional and took much more effort to set up.


    This t Gathering Spirit Array, however, was much simpler. He directly drew the incantations on the ground and used Spirit Stone powder to connect them. He ced Spirit Stones at the key nodes and finally activated the Gathering Spirit Array using magical techniques and incantations.


    After half an hour of busy work, the array was finally set up, and Mi Xiaojing began to activate it using incantations and magical techniques.


    The Gathering Spirit Array began to flicker, and the lines formed by the incantations lit up. In an instant, the thirty-six Spirit Stones arranged in the array emitted a faint white halo. With a slight crackling sound, the Gathering Spirit Array began to self-adjust. After about a few dozen seconds, the entire Gathering Spirit Array disappeared.


    However, Mi Xiaojing could feel the strong sensation of the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly gathering. In just a few minutes, he witnessed an astonishing scene.

 Chapter 78: Abnormal Magical Technique

    <h4>Chapter 78: Abnormal Magical Technique</h4>


    A liquid simr to raindrops appeared in the air, falling to the ground and quickly gathering at the spiritual spring due to the excessive concentration of spiritual qi, gradually liquefying. Due to the Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual qi could not dissipate outside and condensed into droplets of spiritual liquid on the ground. This was the first time Mi Xiaojing had witnessed this phenomenon and he felt intoxicated by the sensation of every pore in his body breathing in the rich spiritual qi.

    "This feels sofortable..."


    "Of course, this is Lingyu, condensed from spiritual rain. It is a raw material for alchemy and refining tools. It can be collected, but if you want to break through the bottleneck in your cultivation, you must consume arge amount of spiritual qi. You don''t need to worry about collecting it for now."


    "Wang Weijun, you can go cultivate. Let me know if you need anything..."


    Wang Weijun retreated into the Mantra Banner and stopped talking. He had been diligently cultivating, hoping to one day break free and upy Mi Xiaojing''s body.


    Mi Xiaojing sat in the Gathering Spirit Array and began to breathe in the spiritual qi that rushed into his body. After consuming arge amount of true qi during his fight with Tian Cang, he quickly replenished it with the abundant spiritual qi in just a few minutes.


    After half an hour of cultivation, Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and took out the only top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. He reviewed the process of his advancement and used the experience Wang Weijun had shared with him to avoid the pitfalls and enhance his foundation. He also knew some special methods to adjust his physical and mental state during foundation establishment, which were secret techniques that ordinary cultivators could not learn.


    The Qianyuan Art was an ancient and superior cultivation technique that consumed arge amount of spiritual qi. Mi Xiaojing used to rely on Spirit Pills to substitute for spiritual qi, but now he had the Gathering Spirit Array which was much more efficient. The Foundation Establishment Pill melted in his mouth, and the massive spiritual power exploded in his abdomen. Mi Xiaojing felt his whole body trembling and quickly stabilized himself to officially break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    The Qianyuan Art quickly circted, and the massive spiritual qi was rapidly converted into true qi. Mi Xiaojing felt like his whole body was expanding, and the true qi in his meridians directly surged like a needle. He focused all his attention on guiding the true qi, and the Qianyuan Art was incredibly smooth as long as there was enough spiritual qi. Soon, Mi Xiaojing sensed something was wrong. The Qianyuan Art required too much spiritual qi, even with the Gathering Spirit Array and the powerful spiritual qi from the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. It was terrifying that even with his preparation, using the Gathering Spirit Array and two Foundation Establishment Pills, it was still not enough. Mi Xiaojing was going crazy.In a moment of desperation, Mi Xiaojing took out arge number of Qi Refining Pills from his storage bag, all of which were high-quality. He secretly regretted not refining the Cultivating Essence Pills beforehand, as it would have solved his problem. Unfortunately, he had no time to collect materials and didn''t have a higher-level Pill Furnace, so it was dyed.


    If he had a few high-quality Cultivating Essence Pills, this situation wouldn''t have been so dangerous!


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t eat the Qi Refining Pills one by one, but threw two or three of them into his mouth at once. These were high-quality pills, and luckily he had been cautious about the Heart Sect, so he didn''t trade these pills away. If he had, he would probably have cried to death by the Spirit Spring.


    Since the beginning of his Alchemy, Mi Xiaojing had refined arge number of high-quality Qi Refining Pills. He had been using them for cultivation, but not too many, so he still had a decent amount left.


    In total, excluding the previously consumed Qi Refining Pills, Mi Xiaojing had more than twenty high-quality Qi Refining Pills left, which he swallowed all at once.


    Even Wang Weijun was shocked. The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was too overpowered. How could they cultivate in the future? It required so many pills to replenish Spiritual Qi. How much Spiritual Qi would be needed when they reached the Foundation Establishment stage?


    After carefully recalling the content of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, Wang Weijun felt foolish. When he had obtained this superior cultivation technique, he had only memorized it and looked at the first part, which was the Qi Refining stage. Since it was not suitable, he had not studied it further. Now, he realized that the most difficult part of this technique was stepping from the Qi Refining stage into the Foundation Establishment stage.


    This process required a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, but once Foundation Establishment was sessful, Spiritual Qi was no longer the main issue. A small amount of Spiritual Qi could be used for cultivation, and the most significant need was absorbing starlight to form a unique Star Gang. This was the key, but it stopped 99.99% of cultivators.


    Those who cultivated this technique needed not only an extremely high aptitude but also a strongprehension. In addition, they needed arge amount of auxiliary support. This was a top-level sect technique for cultivating disciples. Rogue cultivators and small sect cultivators could not evenplete the first step.


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea about all this. All he knew was that this cultivation technique required arge amount of Spiritual Qi, but he didn''t expect the demand to be so terrifying during the breakthrough.


    The Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Gathering Spirit Array was not enough for Mi Xiaojing''s consumption. He became a ck hole, with countless Spiritual Qi pouring in. Once the Gathering Spirit Array could not absorb Spiritual Qi, it would directly consume Spirit Stones, and the thirty-six Spirit Stones began to release their own Spiritual Qi.


    Fortunately, there was this Gathering Spirit Array. The Spiritual Qi released by the thirty-six Spirit Stones was massive and pure, barely allowing Mi Xiaojing to maintain himself. The real usefulness came from the Qi Refining Pills, which helped Mi Xiaojing break through.


    At first, he threw a few Qi Refining Pills into his mouth, but by the end, when it was time to break through, Mi Xiaojing no longer distinguished between high-quality and mid-quality Qi Refining Pills, throwing them all into his mouth. He felt a sense of desperation in his heart, as it was too difficult.


    Just one step away! Just one breath away!

 Chapter 79: Double breakthrough

    <h4>Chapter 79: Double breakthrough</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing forced himself to calm down, and suddenly had a realization in his heart. If he couldn''t pass this level, then he would bepletely finished in the cultivation world and would never be able to establish his foundation again.


    Wang Weijun also felt a little panicked. If Mi Xiaojing couldn''t establish his foundation, then what use was it for him to take over this body? He had to spit out a strand of Qianyang purple gas, which he had stolen from Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation. With just two mouthfuls of Qianyang purple gas, his Elemental Infant began to wither.


    With the two pure strands of Qianyang purple gas, Mi Xiaojing''s spirits were immediately lifted, and he courageously attempted to pass the level again.


    He almost seeded this time, only a hair''s breadth away. Mi Xiaojing angrily shouted in his heart, "F*ck it..e on!" and cast a spell.


    The Gathering Spirit Array once again surged with arge amount of spiritual qi. As Mi Xiaojing cast his spell, thirty-six spirit stones shattered with a crackling sound, and all of the spiritual qi was driven out by this technique, reducing the spirit stones to powder.


    All of the spiritual qi in the entire Gathering Spirit Array was forced out, and Mi Xiaojing was like a super suction machine, frantically absorbing the spiritual qi into his body.


    However, he was unable to reach thatst little bit, and he began to feel anxious.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing''s body shook violently, and in an instant, the Mantra Banner with his heart tower appeared directly in his Dan Tian. It was as if something had exploded, and countless golden Mantra characters mixed in with his true qi. Thatst barrier was instantly shattered by the impact.


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing''s body was radiating a bright light, and golden characters appeared on his skin as his true qi and Mantra once againbined.


    Wang Weijun had a stroke of bad luck. The Mantra Banner was where he resided, and once it was activated, he would be affected. Fortunately, he had gradually be familiar with the Mantra Banner; otherwise, this sudden movement would have left him unable to support himself. His Elemental Infant had already withered from spitting out two refined strands of Qianyang purple gas, but with the Mantra Banner''s activation, it directly extracted strength from his Elemental Infant, making him feel like he was about to die.


    Mi Xiaojing''s bones were rattling, making a popping sound like exploding beans. His body gradually grew taller, from about 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters.


    Dirty ck impurities began to appear on his skin, which were the impurities expelled from his body. Once one established their foundation, any cultivator would go through the same process. This step was where low-level cultivators began to truly enter the path of cultivation. Whether it was their body, spirit, orprehension, they would all be significantly improved.


    Both Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun rxed at this moment. Even though Wang Weijun was affected by the Mantra Banner and felt like he was about to die, he was extremely happy to see Mi Xiaojing enter the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as Mi Xiaojing could improve, it meant that he could obtain a good body, which was his true goal. All of the help he had given was for this purpose.


    This level was passed, and even if it wasn''t a smooth journey from now on, it wouldn''t be like this time, where failure meantplete failure and the end of the path of cultivation. This was a matter of life and death.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay attention to the impurities expelled from his body, but instead focused on consolidating his realm. If it weren''t for the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, a decent Gathering Spirit Array, arge amount of Qi Refining Pills, Wang Weijun''s help, and finally the activation of the Mantra Banner, the possibility of Mi Xiaojing establishing his foundation would have been almost zero, and he would have likely failed at thest level.


    Once he broke through, Mi Xiaojing''s strength would not just increase by one or two times. The Qianyuan Art was a superior cultivation technique, and once he took the first step, it meant that he could truly cultivate this technique.All the previous cultivation was in the preparatory stage, and it couldn''t enhance one''s strength too much. Ifpared with the ordinary Qi Refining techniques, even if you practiced this technique during the preparatory stage, there wouldn''t be a significant difference in strength.


    If everyone cultivated during the Qi Refining stage, one practiced ordinary techniques, and the other practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, if the person who practiced ordinary techniques had eight points of strength, then the strength of the one who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art would definitely not exceed ten points. The gap between the two was extremely limited.


    However, once the person who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art broke through the Qi Refining stage and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and could absorb starlight and transform it into Starry Sky power, the difference in strength between the two would be like heaven and earth.


    This was the benefit brought by a superior technique, and it was also the technique that a cultivator longed for the most.


    To consolidate his realm, Mi Xiaojing didn''t need much external Spiritual Qi, as he could just absorb the vast amount of Spiritual Qi within his body.


    As the True Qi circted, Mi Xiaojing discovered that countless Spirit Scripts were flowing within his True Qi. He didn''t know if this was good or bad, as he had never known that there was an Evolutionary Immortality treasure inside his body. He had always thought that the Heart Pagoda he cultivated was his own creation, but he didn''t know what connection it had with cultivation, and he was extremely ignorant about it.


    The most crucial point was that the Heart Pagoda had actually sunk into his Dan Tian. The scene that had originally appeared in his mind was now directly presented in his Dan Tian, which surprised him to the extreme.


    After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Mi Xiaojing could now introspect. When he sank his mind into his Dan Tian, he saw a strange sight.


    In the darkness, a golden light flickered. As Mi Xiaojing''s mind approached, a tall three-story pagoda appeared. It was only at this moment that Mi Xiaojing realized that the three-story pagoda had already shown the embryonic form of the fourthyer, which meant that he had reached the second realm of Evolutionary Immortality.


    Dharma Form Observation stage!


    Equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of a cultivator, the firstyer of the Dharma Form Observation stage, the Initial Evolution stage, Mi Xiaojing broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and his Evolutionary Immortality realm also broke through to the Dharma Form Observation stage, surpassing the original Fate-realization stage cultivation level.


    However, the first realm of the Dharma Form Observation stage, the Initial Evolution stage, still required Mi Xiaojing to cultivate and consolidate. If this was reflected in the Heart Pagoda, it would be the formation of the fourthyer.


    The Heart Pagoda released a golden light, which was actually brought by the Ten Thousand Mantra Banner, but Mi Xiaojing didn''t know this, and he also didn''t know that Wang Weijun was among them.


    Countless Spirit Scripts floated around the Heart Pagoda. Mi Xiaojing was attentive and noticed that when these Spirit Scripts floated, a very small portion of them would stick to the Heart Pagoda, which meant that the Spirit Scripts were blessing the Heart Pagoda. He was slightly puzzled in his heart. He didn''t know where these Spirit Scripts came from since he wasn''t cultivating Evolutionary Immortality.


    As his mind circled around the Heart Pagoda, Mi Xiaojing discovered that at the base of the pagoda, there was a faint mist-like substance, but he didn''t know what it was. ording to the previous scene during his Evolutionary Immortality cultivation, this substance didn''t exist. Could it be brought by the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art?


    After taking a round in his Dan Tian with his mind, Mi Xiaojing sank back into cultivation, as now was not the time to investigate.


    Soon, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level was consolidated, and Mi Xiaojing continued to consolidate the Dharma Form Observation stage realm of his Evolutionary Immortality. Both were in the initial stage and required some time to cultivate.


    At this point, Mi Xiaojing had already rxed. He knew that he had entered a new realm and a new world, which meant that he had stepped onto the path of both Cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality.

 Chapter 80: Take me to fly

    <h4>Chapter 80: Take me to fly</h4>


    Three dayster, Mi Xiaojing walked out of the cave without passing through the room. He flew directly into the air and plunged into the stream outside the yard. He took off his shirt, which had be like armor, and vigorously washed away the dirt on his body. After three days of consolidating his realm, he had umted thick grease and grime on his body, which had almost formed a thick shell.


    The stream was gentle, and where Mi Xiaojing soaked, a ck band formed and flowed downstream with the stream.


    Mi Xiaojing was naturally clean and couldn''t believe his eyes. This was too dirty.


    He had no choice but to take off his pants and wash them vigorously, feeling like he was rubbing his skin off. His whole body turned red like a cooked shrimp.


    "Wow...who are you...wow...ah...little junior brother...when did youe out..."


    Mi Xiaojing was also frightened and stared at Mu Xiaoyin in a daze. When he saw a basket of dirty clothes, he realized that this was where they usually washed clothes.


    "Ah, ah...ah..."


    Mi Xiaojing shouted louder than Mu Xiaoyin, and he had never been naked in front of a woman before, which was too scary.


    Mu Xiaoyin was scared by Mi Xiaojing''s strange scream and ran away. While running, she shouted, "I, I didn''t see anything...I really didn''t see anything..."


    After shouting twice, Mi Xiaojing squatted in the water, and the sound of Mu Xiaoyin shouting that she didn''t see anything gradually calmed him down. He couldn''t help but feel amused.


    He had never been so embarrassed before, nor had he ever been so frightened, but when he calmed down, he didn''t have too many thoughts. Suddenly, he felt a sense of joy in his sessful prank, especially when Mu Xiaoyin screamed and ran away, it was really fun.


    After a few sillyughs, Mi Xiaojing quickly finished washing and changed into a new set of clothes. He then soaked the reced clothes in the stream with a stone and walked alone to the small courtyard.


    As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw aundry basket on the ground, and clothes scattered around it. Mu Xiaoyin washed all the clothes at home. He walked into the room and asked, "Where is Sister?"


    Zhang Ke said, "I don''t know. She just said she was going to wash clothes...maybe by the stream."


    Suddenly, Luo Bo looked at Mi Xiaojing and asked, "Xiao Mi ge ge, did you seed in your breakthrough?"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and touched his head, saying, "Yes, finally...I seeded!"


    Luo Bo grinned, ever since he followed Mi Xiaojing, he knew that the stronger Mi Xiaojing was, the safer he would be. Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s breakthrough, he happilyughed out loud.


    "Congrattions, Xiao Mi ge ge!"


    Wei Fu also said, "Great, the stronger Xiao Mi ge ge is, the better, haha."


    Zhang Ke eximed, "Little senior brother, is it really true? That''s amazing!"


    Mi Xiaojing joked, "You should call me little senior uncle from now on...haha."Zhang Ke suddenly frowned and said, "This...this doesn''t count. This is cultivation, not evolutionary immortality¡­"


    "I have already ascended to the Observing Laws stage in evolutionary immortality. It''s the initial stage of ascension."


    "Ah? Ah! Okay, junior martial brother¡­"


    Zhang Ke wasn''t jealous; he was genuinely amazed. He had been practicing evolutionary immortality for decades and hadn''t even reached the Conversion stage. However, his cultivation speed was decent as he had already reached the Qi Refining initial stage and was thoroughly stable. Currently, he was attempting to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Once he seeded, his cultivation level would be higher than when he was practicing evolutionary immortality.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Everyone needs to make good use of their time to cultivate. Also, here are some Qi Refining pills for you. Don''t take too many at once...aim to break through your current cultivation level as soon as possible."


    He took out low-grade Qi Refining pills, having already consumed all the middle and high-grade ones.


    Zhang Ke was at the Qi Refining initial stage, Luo Bo was already at the mid-stage, and Wei Fu had just entered the body refinement stage. With the Qi Refining pills, they could elerate their cultivation speed. For some reason, Mi Xiaojing always felt a sense of urgency, as if there was some kind of danger if their cultivation couldn''t keep up in the future.


    Mi Xiaojing had only given them pills now because he was afraid that their cultivation levels were too low to digest them. However, he had his own n now. Low-grade pills were useless after five or six times, but he could refine middle and high-grade pills. The higher the grade of the pill, the more times it could be used. Middle-grade pills could be used at least ten times, and if one had good aptitude, using them fifteen times wasn''t umon. As for high-grade pills, they could be used up to thirty times.


    Of course, there was a big problem with this: obtaining pills was not easy. No one could directly use high-grade pills to cultivate because they were rare and expensive. However, Mi Xiaojing''s ability to refine pills meant that Zhang Ke and the others would have a steady supply of them.


    Luo Bo asked curiously, "Can taking these pills really increase our cultivation level?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, it''s best to take them at critical moments. The effect will be better that way."


    Luo Bo replied, "I''m at a critical moment now. I feel like I''m about to break through...just a little bit more."


    Wei Fu also said, "Yes, yes. After entering the body refinement stage, my true energy has increased slightly, but it''s just not enough to convert into true qi...it''s really frustrating."


    Zhang Ke raised his hand and said, "Me too, me too..."


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay, it''s my fault. I should have given them to you earlier."


    Luo Bo asked, "By the way, Xiao Mi, can you fly now that you''ve advanced in cultivation?" Flying was Luo Bo''s greatest wish. He wanted to fly freely in the sky and soar to his heart''s content. It was his dream.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and smiled, "Yes, I can!"


    Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu all eximed in surprise.


    "Wow, amazing! Xiao Mi can fly now..."


    "I''m so envious, I want to fly too!""Ah, Little Uncle doesn''t need to walk down the mountain anymore, he can fly down..."


    Luo Bo''s face was full of envy and excitement: "Brother Xiao Mi, take me to fly... take me to fly!"


    Mu Xiaoyin suddenly entered from outside the door: "I want to fly too! I want to fly!" She said with a flushed face.


    Mi Xiaojing asked in surprise: "Eh, where did you run off to?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said fiercely with a red face: "I had something to do... What? I can''t?!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand why she was acting like this and said: "You can, uh, of course, you can..."


    Mu Xiaoyin said: "Take me to fly, and I''ll forgive you!"


    Mi Xiaojing muttered in his heart: "Forgive me? What did I do... to be forgiven?" Fortunately, he was smart enough not to say it out loud.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing not speaking, Mu Xiaoyin felt a little guilty and said: "Take me to fly, and I''ll... I''ll..."

 Chapter 81: Fell into the water

    <h4>Chapter 81: Fell into the water</h4>


    "Okay, okay, no problem," Mi Xiaojing said hurriedly.


    Mu Xiaoyin breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that what she said earlier was inappropriate.


    Luo Bo rushed up and said, "Let me go first, let me go first!"


    Mi Xiaojing took Luo Bo and flew up using the Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky, scaring Luo Bo, but he became excited as they ascended.


    They didn''t fly too high because Mi Xiaojing knew that there was arge sword formation in the sky. After flying a small circle, theynded in the courtyard with Luo Bo. Then, they took Wei Fu and Zhang Ke and flew up for a small circle above the courtyard without flying too far.


    Finally, Mi Xiaojing took Mu Xiaoyin into the air. As they flew higher, Mu Xiaoyin screamed, "Wow, it''s so scary... so high... Ah, ah..."


    Mi Xiaojing flew horizontally with her, and Mu Xiaoyin held onto his arm tightly. Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing dived down and brought Mu Xiaoyin over the creek. Mu Xiaoyin screamed, "What are you doing... go back, go back! If you dare to throw me down, I won''t let you go..."


    As they approached the water surface, Mu Xiaoyin knew it was not good and hugged Mi Xiaojing''s waist tightly, shouting, "If you dare to throw me down, I''ll drag you down with me!"


    "Sister, I didn''t n to throw you down. What are you doing?" Mi Xiaojing replied.


    "You... you little rascal, dare to y with me..."


    "Don''t pinch me... Ah, don''t bite me..."


    "You... you were born in the year of the dog, don''t bite... don''t bite..."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback. He only wanted to scare her, but Mu Xiaoyin got angry. Moreover, he was not proficient enough in the incantation or magical technique since he had just learned to fly. Mu Xiaoyin pinched and bit him, causing him to panic.


    Ssh!


    They both fell into the water. The creek formed a rtivelyrge pool here, and they both became soaked.


    When they fell into the water, Mu Xiaoyin involuntarily opened her mouth, and Mi Xiaojing also let go of her. The water was deep, and Mu Xiaoyin was stunned.


    "Wow, I can''t swim... Help!"


    Mi Xiaojing was also scared and quickly grabbed her, dragged her to the side of the creek, and threw her onto the bank with force.


    Then, Mu Xiaoyin stared at Mi Xiaojing fiercely, "You''re dead. I''m going to bite you to death..." She looked quite ferocious, but her whole body was soaking wet, and she looked quite disheveled.Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to go up. Stepping on the water, he finally stabilized his body. He saw Mu Xiaoyin dancing and water droplets flying everywhere with her movements. It looked so funny that he couldn''t help but burst outughing in the water.


    Mu Xiaoyin looked down and saw that her clothes were all wet and stuck to her body. She blushed and stomped her feet, saying, "You, you...you''re a bad person, I won''t talk to you!" She ran back.


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned. He didn''t expect Mu Xiaoyin to run away. He muttered, "Really, I can''t even make a joke. She''s so stingy." He was still young and innocent, and didn''t realize how ambiguous his actions were.


    Growing up, Mi Xiaojing rarely had contact with women. Mu Xiaoyin was the first woman he was close to, but he never had any improper thoughts. Not that he didn''t want to, but he really didn''t understand anything, like a nk sheet of paper, pure to the extreme.


    Mu Xiaoyin ran back to the yard, and Luo Bo was surprised, "Wow, Xiaoyin sister, did you fall into the water?"


    Mu Xiaoyin didn''t say a word, blushing, and rushed into her room. This was her special room. Bang! She closed the door and hurriedly changed into dry clothes.


    Luo Bo looked inexplicably at Mu Xiaoyin rushing into the room, and then Mi Xiaojing fell from the sky.


    Wei Fu was surprised, "Huh, Xiao Mi brother is also soaked...wow, did you fall into the water with sister?"


    Zhang Ke couldn''t help butugh and said, "Interesting...haha."


    Mi Xiaojing said a little embarrassedly, "I didn''t control myself well, and fell into the stream...okay, why don''t you go practice instead of staying in the yard!"


    Although Mi Xiaojing was young, he had already established his authoritative image in front of everyone. When he said to go practice, whether it was Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, or Wei Fu, they all went into the house to practice without hesitation. However, everyone had a smile on their faces.


    Mi Xiaojing helplessly scratched his head, and cast a magical technique. In an instant, a huge amount of heat emanated from his body, forcing all the water out of his clothes. His whole body was like being lifted out of boiling water, steaming hot. If someone didn''t know, they would think he came out of a steamer.


    Due to the protection of arge defensive sword formation, the snow could not fall, and although the sect was still quite cold, the trees had begun to sprout, as if spring had arrived.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to the cave and sat by the spiritual spring, thinking about how to practice. Mu Xiaoyin changed her clothes and quietly left the courtyard.First of all, one must find a slightly higher ce, preferably a mountain peak, and carry out the first cultivation at night with starlight. This is the true cultivation of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, opening the path for the first time to transform starlight into the power of Star Gang. Once sessful, future cultivation will be rtively simple.


    Even if one cultivates in a caveter, they can still absorb starlight. This technique is so magical that as long as it is sessfully initiated, future cultivation will not be hindered by clouds, daytime, or being deep underground. Nothing can stop the absorption of starlight.


    The second important thing is to refine one''s own weapon.


    The precious sword-refining material, Thunder Gang Wood, needs to be utilized. Mi Xiaojing is still quite poor, but with the sale of elixirs, his financial situation has eased a bit. This is not only for his own use, but also for Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and Wei Fu.


    Although Mu Xiaoyin doesn''t need it, she has other expenses. She is now a standard Evolutionary Immortal, having reached the first stage of the Edge-Awakening Period, the Conversion Stage. She is currently working hard to cultivate towards the second stage, the Maintenance Stage.


    In addition to refining his own true Magical Sword, Mi Xiaojing also needs to consider Alchemy.


    The most important thing is to find a good Pill Furnace. This item is not avable in the market. One must find a steward from Grass-Benevolence Hall and prove that they have the ability to refine higher-level elixirs in order to obtain a higher-level Pill Furnace.


    As Mi Xiaojing was deep in thought, several people arrived outside the door.

 Chapter 82: High-level visit

    <h4>Chapter 82: High-level visit</h4>


    There were a total of five people, led by Chen Shouyi, the alchemy master of Grass-Benevolence Hall. There were also Guan Shangli, the steward, female pill master Li Huai, and alchemy master Hong Qing. Following closely behind Chen Shouyi was Mu Xiaoyin.


    Guan Shangli asked, "Xiaoyin, did Mi Xiaojing really advance to the Foundation Establishment stage? Don''t spread rumors..."


    Mu Xiaoyin replied, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn''t dare report it!"


    Chen Shouyi was all smiles because Mi Xiaojing was his nominal disciple. Although he wasn''t his direct disciple, he was still a disciple, which made Chen Shouyi happy. He now had a Foundation Establishment stage follower, which increased his potential strength.


    Hong Qing''s face was dark. He hadn''t expected Mi Xiaojing to advance so quickly. He red at him with hatred behind Chen Shouyi and thought to himself, "He must have given him the Foundation Establishment Pill. The bastard is hiding pills!"


    In the Heart Sect, if a disciple advanced to the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, almost no one would notice. But advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage was different. The sect may not care, but the various halls below would care because it meant an increase in the hall''s strength. Therefore, once someone advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the main figures of the hall would appear.


    Just like in ancient times, when someone passed the imperial examination, their status and identity would bepletely different. It was the same in the cultivation world. The Qi Refining stage was nothing, but once someone advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, it was worth winning over.


    So when Mu Xiaoyin reported it, she immediately received the attention of the Grass-Benevolence Hall''s high-level personnel, who rushed over as soon as they received the news.


    Mi Xiaojing came out of the cave after receiving the news.


    Since he hadn''t activated his cultivation starlight or had the power of the Starry Sky Gang, he looked no different from an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator who had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Chen Shouyi approached him, looked him up and down, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, you''re at the Foundation Establishment stage now. Kid, work hard in the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. If the Grass-Benevolence Hall can fulfill them, we will."


    After thinking for a moment, he added, "Oh, I remember you''re quite good at alchemy... Well, you''re very perceptive. You can follow me and learn alchemy..."


    Guan Shangli said, "Remember toe to Grass-Benevolence Hall. We have something for you. Also, do you want to change your residence? Oh, by the way, this ce was originally for those at the Foundation Establishment stage. If you''re used to it, you can continue living here."


    He took out an identity token and handed it to Mi Xiaojing, saying, "This is a Foundation Establishment stage-specific identity token belonging to our Grass-Benevolence Hall. You can enter some restricted areas with this token."


    "Also, because of your alchemy skills, you''ve received your storage bag in advance. We won''t give it to you again this time. Use it as usual. From now on, this storage bag will belong to you personally. Originally, we would have taken it back after the alchemy session."


    Hong Qing snorted and said, "Kid, work hard. The rules of our Grass-Benevolence Hall are still very strict. Don''t vite the hall''sws and regtions, or no one can save you!"


    Mi Xiaojing replied calmly, "Yes!" He had to be patient here. Being arrogant was a path to death without absolute strength, and he wasn''t that foolish yet.


    Li Huai said, "In Grass-Benevolence Hall, once a disciple advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, they can make a request. Of course, it must be a request that Grass-Benevolence Hall can fulfill."


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He had a ce to store his alchemy furnace now. The thing he wanted most was a higher-level alchemy furnace, even if it was just slightly better than the one he had now."I need a better pill furnace... I don''t have any other requirements."


    Hong Qing questioned: "The current pill furnace is quite good, why do you need to change it? Boy, don''t aim too high!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but want to kill this bastard in his heart. He said, "The current pill furnace is of too low a level. It cannot refine even slightly better pills, so I need a higher-level pill furnace."


    Hong Qing said, "Oh, are you confident in using a higher-level pill furnace? I don''t think it''s very likely! Your skill level, hehe, I think it''s not enough. You should refine more basic pills first, and when your skill level reaches the required level, it won''t be toote to change."


    Mi Xiaojing knew this was the only chance to get a good pill furnace, and he didn''t want to give up. Even if it meant offending Hong Qing, he had to fight for it. Moreover, he knew that he had already offended this guy.


    "I have the strength and skill to refine better pills!"


    Hong Qing sneered, "Pills are not spoken out of your mouth, they are refined! Anyone can talk big, but not everyone can refine pills."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I can!"


    Hong Qingughed, "I don''t believe it! And I think you are aiming too high! Grass-Benevolence Hall doesn''t need to give you a high-level pill furnace."


    It was then that Chen Shouyi spoke up: "Ahem, well, I think it''s possible... This is not a question of whether he can refine pills or not, but a reward from Grass-Benevolence Hall. As for whether he sells the high-level pill furnace or uses it himself after getting it, that is his freedom. Of course, there is only this one opportunity."


    Hong Qing almost choked to death. These words blocked all of Hong Qing''s excuses because it didn''t require Mi Xiaojing to prove that he had the skill to use a high-level pill furnace. As long as he wanted it, Grass-Benevolence Hall had to give it to him. There might not be other things in Grass-Benevolence Hall, but there were quite a few pill furnaces. Over the years, Grass-Benevolence Hall had umted a considerable number of pill furnaces of various types, all stored in the warehouse.


    Hong Qing''s face turned livid with anger, but his strength was not enough to suppress Chen Shouyi. Among all the people present, Chen Shouyi had the highest status.


    Hong Qing vowed in his heart, "Once I seed in Foundation Establishment, damn it... I''ll make you all pay."


    Li Huai was curious and couldn''t help but ask, "Junior Brother, can you really refine higher-level pills?"


    Mi Xiaojing said firmly, "Senior Sister, I can!"


    It was only now that Hong Qing realized that Mi Xiaojing was already considered his junior brother.


    ...


    This was Mi Xiaojing''s first time in the warehouse of Grass-Benevolence Hall, where pill furnaces were stored. Guan Shangli personally apanied him. As for Chen Shouyi, Hong Qing, and Li Huai, they had already left. They didn''t need to apany him for such a small matter. It was already a great honor for them to personally visit Mi Xiaojing''s residence.


    In the Heart Sect, only when one advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage would they truly attract the attention of the sect''s higher-ups. Advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage was not enough to make the sect pay attention.


    Upon entering the warehouse, Mi Xiaojing''s only feeling was that he was dazzled. There were forty or fifty pill furnaces umted over the years, some good and some bad. He didn''t have a deep understanding of pill furnaces. Out of necessity, he called Wang Weijun again.

 Chapter 83: Chi Yun Cauldron

    <h4>Chapter 83: Chi Yun Cauldron</h4>


    "Guan Shangli said, ''Junior brother, choose for yourself, I cannot give you advice. Once you have chosen, you cannot change your mind...''


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, ''Yes, senior brother!''


    But in his heart, he was urging, ''Hurry up ande out to help me see which pill furnace is better!''


    Although Wang Weijun was feeling very down, he still forced himself to appear. He looked at the pill furnaces in the warehouse through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes.


    ''Walk around the edge!''


    Guan Shangli said, ''There are no truly advanced pill furnaces here. These pill furnaces are considered good, and are usually used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. Oh, and there are some pill furnaces here that are actually broken. Of course, I can''t tell you which ones they are. You need to choose for yourself...''


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but roll his eyes. This was too unfair. There were actually broken pill furnaces here. Fortunately, Wang Weijun was helping to choose. If he had to choose on his own, he might have made a mistake.


    After walking around, Mi Xiaojing had basically looked at all the pill furnaces in the warehouse. He stopped in the middle of the warehouse, closed his eyes, andmunicated with Wang Weijun.


    Guan Shangli just silently watched, thinking that Mi Xiaojing was contemting.


    ''How is it? Which pill furnace is better?''


    Wang Weijun was also pondering. After looking around, he couldn''t find one that he was satisfied with. The quality was good or bad, and there was one pill furnace that he was very interested in, but it had some problems. It would have to be refined again if they took it back. He didn''t know if Mi Xiaojing could collect the materials needed to refine it.


    In addition to the damaged pill furnace he was interested in, there was another one that was also good enough to use, but it had major defects.


    ''I''ll give you some advice. There are two pill furnaces in total, one good and one bad. One can be used immediately, and the other needs to be refined again. However, the one that can be used immediately has some defects, and the other one is damaged. If you follow my method and refine it again, it will be a very good pill furnace. You won''t need to rece it until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage at the earliest. Which one do you want to choose?''


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, ''I want the bad one, but there is one condition. Can I refine it again?''


    Wang Weijun smiled and said, ''Yes, but you need certain materials. I don''t know if you can find them.''


    ''Are they very precious materials?''


    ''No, they aremon materials. It''s just that one of them may be difficult to find... Gan stone, also known as mirror gang stone. Although it''s not very precious, few people collect it. If you''re lucky, you might find a lot of it. If you''re not, you won''t find a single piece.''


    Mi Xiaojing was suddenly in a dilemma. After a while, he said, ''Never mind, I just need to be able to refine pills. If I can''t refine pills because I''m looking for one material, then it''s not worth it!'' "Wang Weijun said, "Okay, you choose a pill furnace that can be used for alchemy. As for the other one, you can collect the materials yourself. Once you have everything, you can use the intact pill furnace to exchange for the damaged one. I believe they will agree!"


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, and Guan Shangli asked with a smile, "Have you decided?"


    "Yes, I want this pill furnace!"


    Guan Shangli looked surprised. This pill furnace was widely recognized as the best one in the storage room. He never thought that Mi Xiaojing could pick the best one.


    "Do you know about this pill furnace?"


    "I don''t know. I just randomly picked it. Is it not good?"


    "Ah...haha, this one is just average...actually, the other one is better..."


    "Hehe, never mind. I like this one. Look at the pattern, it''s so beautiful. I like this kind!"


    Guan Shangli almost vomited blood. Beautiful? What does beauty have to do with a pill furnace? However, he couldn''t stop Mi Xiaojing from getting this pill furnace. Even if he tried to persuade him to exchange it for another one, Mi Xiaojing insisted that the pattern was beautiful.


    In fact, Guan Shangli had nned to leave this pill furnace for someone else. He couldn''t understand how Mi Xiaojing, who was not an experienced pill master, could pick the best pill furnace out of nearly fifty furnaces.


    "Do you also want this pill furnace, Senior Brother?"


    Mi Xiaojing came up with a good idea and said, "Senior Brother, if you want this pill furnace, I can use it for a while. Don''t worry, it won''t take too long. Then I will secretlye over and exchange it for another pill furnace in the storage room. How about that?"


    Guan Shangli looked at Mi Xiaojing in surprise and said, "Do I look like I like this pill furnace that much?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded vigorously in his heart, thinking, "You kept trying to persuade me to take another pill furnace. Obviously, you didn''t want me to take this one. Anyone can see that."


    Guan Shangli was speechless. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, it''s settled then. I owe you a favor!"


    Mi Xiaojing took down the pill furnace and asked, "What''s the name of this pill furnace, Senior Brother?"


    Guan Shangli replied, "Chi Yun Ding. It''s one of the best pill furnaces used in the Foundation Establishment period."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Chi Yun Ding! It''s a good name!"


    Guan Shangli said, "Okay, Junior Brother, we''ve settled it. I hope you cane and exchange the pill furnace as soon as possible. Hehe." Hisughter contained a hint of bitterness. He owed Mi Xiaojing a favor for no reason, and he still had a bit of a knot in his heart. However, he couldn''t me Mi Xiaojing. He should have said earlier that he couldn''t give him this pill furnace. Mi Xiaojing probably had no way of knowing.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that Guan Shangli was not happy, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, Senior Brother, I''ll take my leave now..."Guan Shangli waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, if you have any problems in the future, feel free toe to me. If I can help, I will definitely do so!"


    Mi Xiaojing put the Pill Furnace into his storage bag and then flew into the sky on his sword. Now that he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he no longer needed to walk long distances on the ground.


    Upon returning to the small courtyard, Zhang Ke and the others were all cultivating, while Mu Xiaoyin was nowhere to be found. It was unknown where she had gone.


    Arriving at the edge of the spiritual spring, everyone knew that Mi Xiaojing was in a critical period, so during this time, the others had gotten used to cultivating in their rooms, leaving the cave empty.


    Sitting by the spiritual spring, Mi Xiaojing took out the Chi Yun Cauldron.


    The Chi Yun Cauldron was only the size of an adult''s fist. Since it was equivalent to the concept of a low-grade magical artifact, it could be shrunk and required certain magical techniques to open.


    The deep purple Pill Cauldron had three legs and a round belly, with fire cloud-like spiritual patterns densely covering its surface. It was impossible to see the material it was made from. Even in its shrunken form, holding it in one''s hand, there was a faint warmth.

 Chapter 84: True Qi Transformation

    <h4>Chapter 84: True Qi Transformation</h4>


    Wang Weijunpletely looked down on this pill furnace, but Mi Xiaojing treasured it like a priceless treasure. Because all future pills would rely on this pill furnace for refinement.


    Carefully cing the Chi Yun Cauldron on the ground, he used a hand gesture and in an instant, the cauldron swelled up. The fiery cloud spirit pattern was like a burning me, emitting waves of heat.


    The cauldron was about 1.2 meters in height and 1.5 meters in width, a ratherrge pill furnace.


    After carefully examining the spirit patterns on the cauldron, Mi Xiaojing was able topletely understand them with his current level. He could also see the likelihood of sess in refining pills from the spirit patterns.


    Sighing, if he had the Chi Yun Cauldron earlier, he estimated that he could have obtained at least three to five high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. Although the cauldron was only a low-grade one, it was much better than the low-level pill furnace he used.


    Wang Weijun gave the materials for refining the cauldron to Mi Xiaojing, allowing him to make a list and try to exchange them. Mi Xiaojing also knew that he wouldn''t have the cauldron for long, but only if he could exchange the materials for refining it.


    This was Mi Xiaojing''s current strategy, to find the materials he needed to refine pills for himself and Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and Wei Fu. He had grown up in the Western Expansion Sect and they were the first people he met. This sense of kinship had tightly bound them together.


    After putting away the Chi Yun Cauldron, Mi Xiaojing took out the Thunder Gang Wood. He was confident in refining a new magical sword, but at present, he was only designing and thinking about how to refine it. The real refinement would have to wait until he began absorbing starlight and forming his own Starry Sky power.


    As the sky gradually darkened, Mi Xiaojing walked out of the cave and looked at the sky. It was a sunny day and even before it gotpletely dark, he could already see the starlight filling the sky.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but smile. He knew that once he absorbed the starlight, he would truly be a powerful cultivator.


    When the sky waspletely dark, Mi Xiaojing used the Thunder Strike Dagger to fly into the air and circled above the courtyard. He saw the dark mountains in the distance and immediately flew towards them on his sword.


    After a moment, Mi Xiaojing arrived at a mountain peak. It wasn''t particrly high and wasn''t one of the Nine Peaks. He put away the Thunder Strike Dagger and looked around.


    The mountain formed a ck curve, like ck dragons coiling on the ground. The starlight was brilliant in the sky, making it a good ce to cultivate the Qianyuan Art.


    The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art began its first rotation. The process was veryplicated and Mi Xiaojing failed once before trying again with courage.


    After an hour, Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, as if a needle was piercing it.


    Mi Xiaojing was not surprised but delighted. He had absorbed the starlight!As starlight entered his body, Mi Xiaojing''s true qi erupted like oil boiling in a pot with a spoonful of water added. With each absorbed beam of starlight, the boiling gradually subsided, and silver lines mixed with countless tiny spirit script characters swam in the true qi.


    By this point in his cultivation, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what his true qi had be, but it had mutatedpletely into something never before seen or heard of. At first, it was just a strand of starlight, but as he cultivated, the more starry sky he converted within his body, the greater the attraction became. Though outsiders couldn''t see it, Mi Xiaojing could see countless starlights turning into silver threads and pouring into his body from above.


    As more and more silver threads appeared in his true qi, it meant that the Gang was forming. The Gang was extremely repulsive and gradually consumed the true qi, transforming it into the Gang. The only thing that surprised Mi Xiaojing was that the spirit script characters swimming in the true qi were not affected at all. Not only did they not disappear, but they alsobined with the Gang.


    The silver threads gradually converged into a silver river, while the spirit script shimmered with a little gold light, swimming freely in the silver river.


    When the true qi waspletely transformed into the Gang, Mi Xiaojing''s whole body made cracking sounds, and it was a real transformation. Not only did his true qi mutate into the power of the Gang, but his bones, muscles, organs, and everything else underwent a marvelous change.


    Wang Weijun had noticed Mi Xiaojing''s changes and was almost scared to death. With his old monster''s eyes, he couldn''t even see what kind of change it was. Did the ancient art really have such a crazy effect? He vaguely regretted giving Mi Xiaojing the Qianyuan Art. He found that Mi Xiaojing''s changes were so great that he couldn''t control them.


    One leaf knows autumn. Just the changes in the Foundation Establishment period caught Wang Weijun''s attention, but he was also powerless to change anything. All of this was brought to Mi Xiaojing by him, and even if he regretted it, he couldn''t find a ce to repent.


    Wang Weijun had a vague feeling that once Mi Xiaojing sessfully cultivated the Gang, it would be difficult for him to take over his body. However, he believed he had a way and the ability to take over Mi Xiaojing''s body. Continuing to deceive and gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust was the most important thing.


    Even if it was difficult to take over, it didn''t mean he couldn''t. The stronger Mi Xiaojing became, the stronger his body became. Plus, the art he provided was the key. Once he took over, he could practice the art more quickly and efficiently. After thinking for a moment, Wang Weijun was relieved.


    As dawn approached, Mi Xiaojing finallypleted the transformation. He no longer had any true qi and was entirelyposed of the power of the Gang. Of course, countless spirit script characters still swam in the Gang''s power.


    If someone were present, they would have noticed that his pupils hadpletely turned silver, and at the core of his pupils was a tiny golden dot. After a moment, his eyes returned to normal.Flying with the sword, Mi Xiaojing suddenly transformed into a silver light, disappearing from his original spot in an instant. This speed was so fast that even Mi Xiaojing himself was taken aback, struggling to control it as he almost crashed into a mountain. Fortunately, his reaction was quick enough to change direction at thest moment before the collision.


    In fact, he was already very close to the ground. The result of forcibly changing direction was that a path was instantly opened in the forest. All the trees that obstructed his path were turned into ashes, as if they had been fully burned.

 Chapter 85: Tian Cang comes again

    <h4>Chapter 85: Tian Canges again</h4>


    Flying back into the air, Mi Xiaojing realized that with his current strength, using the power of Starry Sky to strike with the Thunderbolt Dagger seemed to be too much to handle. The power of Starry Sky was just too insane. Just now, with a simple rotation, the trees were silently turned into ashes. This feeling was simply too frightening and too enjoyable.


    Finally, before the sky waspletely bright, Mi Xiaojing finally mastered the knack of flying. The power of Starry Sky was great, but it was not easy to control. It was only with Wang Weijun''s casual guidance that Mi Xiaojing truly mastered the secrets of flying.


    Before it waspletely bright, Mi Xiaojing returned to the small courtyard.


    Mu Xiaoyin was in the yard and said, "I washed the clothes by the creek yesterday, but leave them for Luo Bo. You are already a master at Foundation Establishment, and in the sect, you need to change into a new set of clothes... We have specialized clothing at Grass-Benevolence Hall."


    Mu Xiaoyin managed the entire small courtyard, and both Mi Xiaojing and Zhang Ke had to follow her arrangements, like a small housekeeper.


    Mi Xiaojing grinned and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."


    Mu Xiaoyin looked at him strangely, "What''s there to thank me for? Oh, right, the old man wants you to go to the Pill Room this afternoon. We''re going to make pills again soon."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Do you want me to go? What kind of pill are we making? Is it the Loss and Gain Pill?"


    Mu Xiaoyin nodded, "Yes, because you have been promoted, you are now a Pill Master at Grass-Benevolence Hall, so you are qualified to go and watch."


    It turned out to be a benefit.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Okay!"


    He was still very interested in this kind of activity. Only by seeing more could he gain more experience. This was something he was very willing to do.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing looked up, squinting his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, go inside!"


    Mu Xiaoyin didn''t understand, "What?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Tian Cang is here again!"


    Mu Xiaoyin didn''t go back to her room but instead hid in the corner of the courtyard wall, the same ce she hidst time.


    Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu also peeked out of the window. This kind of Foundation Establishment level battle was not something they could participate in, so they could only secretly watch.


    Tian Cang descended from the sky and stared at Mi Xiaojing. Unfortunately, he couldn''t see through Mi Xiaojing''s strength because Mi Xiaojing''s body no longer had True Qi, but rather the advanced power of Starry Sky.


    This made him a little confused. Last time, he could clearly sense that Mi Xiaojing was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, but after just a few days, this little guy hadpletely be unreadable.


    What was most troublesome was that Mi Xiaojing had not yet exchanged for the clothing that only Foundation Establishment disciples could wear, so Tian Cang had no way of seeing his changes from his clothing. After several days of inquiries, Tian Cang already knew that Mi Xiaojing was not Chen Shouyi''s direct disciple but rather an ordinary cultivator under Chen Shouyi''s name with some alchemy skills. He was now considered an inner disciple of Grass-Benevolence Hall.Unfortunately, Tian Cang didn''t know that Chen Shouyi and the others hade to Mi Xiaojing''s ce yesterday, nor did he know that Mi Xiaojing had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Originally, Tian Cang nned to beat up Mi Xiaojing and then drive them out of the courtyard. But now he hesitated a bit because he couldn''t see through Mi Xiaojing.


    However, since they had started over, there had to be a result. Either he would drive them away or he would be driven away himself. Of course, he was still confident in himself. After all, he was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    With his magical sword out, Tian Cang coldly said, "Master''s disciple? Haha, you''re just an alchemy apprentice from Grass-Benevolence Hall! How dare you fool me? You don''t even know how to die! You can fool me for three to five days, or even half a month, but you can''t fool me forever!"


    "Kid, if you take them away...I''ll let it go. I won''t pursue the matter of you upying my home. If you don''t leave, don''t me me for using force. There''s no reasoning here...it''s all up to me!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh. This time, Tian Cang actually used a negotiating tone instead of directly ordering them to leave likest time.


    "It''s impossible! This is already my home. I won''t agree to leave."


    The help that a spiritual spring provided to a Cultivator was self-evident. Even if Mi Xiaojing didn''t need that much spiritual Qi for his cultivation in the future, Zhang Ke and the others still needed it. With this spiritual spring, their cultivation speed would be much faster than other low-level Cultivators. How could Mi Xiaojing give it up?


    Especially after advancing, Mi Xiaojing was even more confident. At least, the opponent''s use of force was no longer effective. He had confidence in winning the fight.


    Tian Cang used a magical technique, and his magical sword stabbed towards Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing said lightly, "Can''t hold back, can you?" His hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the flying sword. In an instant, the sword was caught by Mi Xiaojing and tightly held in his palm.


    Tian Cang''s heart trembled. He couldn''t believe that Mi Xiaojing could catch a flying sword at high speed. What was this? He used a magical technique again and shouted, "Let go!"


    Mi Xiaojing sneered, and Starry Sky surged into his palm. He also shouted, "Crush!"


    In an instant, the characters in Starry Sky emitted a dazzling golden light. This was the power of the True Word Script. Starry Sky and the characters acted at the same time, and the magical sword shattered in response.


    "This...this is impossible!"


    Fortunately, this was not a sword connected to his mind, so it wouldn''t affect the owner even if it was broken. But Tian Cang couldn''t ept this result. It was too terrifying. Mi Xiaojing had crushed a sword with one hand. What kind of hand was this? A diamond hand? Or an immortal''s hand? Tian Cang believed that even if an Ancestor at the Foundation Establishment stage came, he might not be able to crush his sword bare-handed.


    Tian Cang was lucky that he wasn''t scared to death. This was really too terrifying. When did magical swords be so fragile?Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He never expected that thebination of Starry Sky and True Words would possess such terrifying power.


    He felt extremely satisfied in his heart. From the moment he began cultivating Ascension, he had witnessed the Western Expansion Sect being destroyed. The once powerful experts of the sect were ughtered like chickens, and he, who was regarded as a genius in Ascension by his master, could only watch helplessly. The thirst for power eventually upied the young man''s heart, and bing stronger became his obsession.


    Tian Cang''s heart ached to the extreme. This Magical Sword was obtained through countless hardships, exhausting all his assets and umted materials. After using it for so many years, he had developed deep feelings for it. He never thought it would be crushed by Mi Xiaojing. Only then did he realize that his Magical Sword had been destroyed.


    Letting out a howl, Tian Cang charged forward with his bare hands. He was truly enraged and driven mad by anger, grief, and annoyance,pletely losing his rationality.

 Chapter 86: Tian Cang, the unfortunate one

    <h4>Chapter 86: Tian Cang, the unfortunate one</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing gained the battle experience from the inheritance. The most important thing in a battle is to stay calm. Once you lose yourposure, it means you will be beaten, or even killed. So when Mi Xiaojing saw Tian Cang lose his sanity and charge at him, he couldn''t help butugh. He kicked him in the chest, sending him flying without even using his Thunder Strike Dagger. Mi Xiaojing had his own considerations. First, Tian Cang was not his enemy, and he had never thought of killing him. Second, if he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be detrimental to him. He still needed to temporarily stay in this sect and didn''t want to leave. These considerations prevented Mi Xiaojing from killing him, so he just kicked him in the chest as he charged forward.


    This kick was not light, and it sent Tian Cang flying. The recently repaired courtyard wall was once again knocked down by Tian Cang. This blow made Tian Cangpletely lose his sanity, and he was now in a state of frenzy. He roared and charged at Mi Xiaojing again from outside the courtyard wall.


    Bang!


    He was kicked and sent flying again.


    Again, he was kicked and sent flying, just like kicking a ball.


    Mu Xiaoyin was stunned, her mouth wide open, drooling almosting out. In her many years in the Sword Heart Sect, she had never seen such a fight, nor had she seen such unorganized attacks. Both of them were the same, one only knew how to charge, and the other only knew how to kick, as if they had forgotten other techniques.


    Zhang Ke was dumbfounded, with his mouth wide open, only able tough foolishly. He felt very happy and satisfied watching Mi Xiaojing beat people up.


    Luo Bo muttered to himself, "Wow, another kick, and another kick... Wow, this person is so powerful, he can''t even kick him to death..."


    Wei Fu just giggled. He was still young, and he found it fun to watch Mi Xiaojing kick people.


    There was even a time when Tian Cang was kicked and flew away, but he flew back halfway and was kicked again, continuously kicked more than ten times. Tian Cang finally couldn''t take it anymore, and he fell to the ground, spitting out blood and froth from his mouth,pletely exhausted.


    Mi Xiaojing stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily. It wasn''t physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.


    Tian Cang was in an even worse state. He already had internal injuries that hadn''t healed, and now he had been kicked by Mi Xiaojing more than ten times. It should be noted that Mi Xiaojing''s power was already enhanced by the Starry Sky power, which was much stronger than true qi. The Starry Sky power was extremely powerful and unyielding, but the Starry Sky power within Mi Xiaojing''s body was different. There was true speech within the Starry Sky power, and the essence of true speech waspassion.


    This gave the Starry Sky power a soft nature. This was also the real reason why Tian Cang, who had been kicked more than ten times, was not kicked to death. Without true speech, Tian Cang would probably only be able to withstand three kicks at most and would enter a near-death state.


    Tian Cang spat out froth and ck blood, his mouth full of white foam. He looked at Mi Xiaojing in despair, shocked to the core. He thought he was defeated by a Qi Refining cultivator, which was simply unbelievable.


    "I... cough, I... I lost... you win, this courtyard is yours..."


    Mi Xiaojing was originally from the Western Expansion Sect, and he couldn''t bear to see others like this, especially when this person was beaten half to death by himself. Under his soft heart, he threw a Clear Tranquility Pill and said, "Take this pill, don''t bother us again in the future."


    "You..."


    Tian Cang was once again shocked by Mi Xiaojing''s actions. He had never seen someone like this before. He picked up the Clear Tranquility Pill and immediately put it in his mouth. In an instant, the pill turned into liquid and slid down his throat. The intense pain in his chest immediately felt much better.


    "Why did you give me the pill?"


    In Tian Cang''s worldview, if you lost, you had nothing left, and even your life was in danger. He actually had a powerful treasure in his hand. Once Mi Xiaojingpletely exterminated him, he would immediately activate this treasure. Even if Mi Xiaojing could escape with his life, the others would definitely be buried with him.


    But Mi Xiaojing didn''tpletely exterminate him. Instead, he gave him a healing pill, which surprised him.


    "I didn''t intend to kill anyone, nor do I want to make enemies. Of course, if you continue to bear a grudge against me, then we can fight again in the future. Since I can defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time. But if youe looking for me a second time, hehe, then I will definitely kill you without hesitation!"


    Tian Cang shook his head and said, "I knew I couldn''t beat you when you crushed my magical sword. That''s not a big deal. Winning or losing is normal in the cultivation world. The only thing I don''t understand is... how can someone at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining like you have such strength?"


    Mu Xiaoyin came out from the corner and smiled, "Who said he''s at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining? He''s already at the Foundation Establishment stage, just like you."


    The resentment and unwillingness on Tian Cang''s face quickly disappeared, reced by a shocked expression.


    "He... he advanced in the few days I left? My God... is this true or false... I... I''m so damn unlucky!"


    "Yes! It''s true!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "If it weren''t for you causing trouble, I wouldn''t have rushed to advance. It''s because of you that I advanced!"


    Tian Cang''s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. This statement was really infuriating.


    After a while, he said, "I''ll tell you a secret. What will you give me in exchange?"


    Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "A secret? What secret?"


    Tian Cang said, "A secret that will be very useful to you. Do you want to make a trade?"


    Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t help but ask, "What do you want? What do you want from us in exchange?"


    "Two Clear Tranquility Pills. You''ve already given me one, if you take out another one, I''ll make a trade with you!"


    Mi Xiaojing admired this guy a little. The pill he gave earlier, if this guy ate it for free, then he would never get his little courtyard back.


    But if they traded with some kind of secret, then he wouldn''t gain any benefits from Mi Xiaojing. This way, when facing Mi Xiaojing again, he wouldn''t have any psychological burden. It should be noted that it wasn''t easy to take advantage of a cultivator. Once there was some kind of constraint, it often became an obstacle to cultivation.


    Of course, Tian Cang wouldn''t be foolish without absolute certainty. In fact, he was already a little afraid of Mi Xiaojing. He always felt that Mi Xiaojing had an unfathomable aura.


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment. He didn''t have many Clear Tranquility Pills left, but refining them was easy, and he already had the zing Cloud Cauldron. It wouldn''t be a problem to refine low-level pills in the future.


    "Okay, tell me. I have no problem, I still have Clear Tranquility Pills!"


    "Good! It''s a deal!"


    A smile appeared on Tian Cang''s face. With another Clear Tranquility Pill, he would be able to fully recover from his injuries. It should be noted that he had been injured for many years and had never fully recovered. After eating a Clear Tranquility Pill earlier, not only did it heal today''s injuries, but it also showed signs of improvement in his old injuries. He had to seize this opportunity.

 Chapter 87: A hidden paradise

    <h4>Chapter 87: A hidden paradise</h4>


    Tian Cang said, "Don''t you have a spiritual spring in your cave?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a spiritual spring in the cave, but it is quite ordinary. The spiritual qi is not very strong. It may be useful for Qi Refining cultivators, but not necessarily enough for Foundation Establishment cultivators."


    "Haha, of course. But why am I insisting on it? It''s because... there is an entrance next to the spiritual spring, which I have sealed off. If you enter it, you will find that the real cultivation ce is below!"


    "Ah? Really? I never expected that."


    Tian Cang stood up and said, "I will take you inside." He patted the dirt and dust off his body and said, "You are really poisonous!"


    Mi Xiaojingughed awkwardly.


    With everyone, Tian Cang led the way into the cave. The cave was not very deep, only about ten meters. There was a spiritual spring in the middle, surrounded by a stone circle. Once the stone circle was full, the water would flow out through the gap in the circle.


    There was a thick bamboo pole split in half at the gap, and the spiritual spring flowed out along the bamboo pole to arge pottery jar outside the cave. Most of the jar was buried in the ground. Mi Xiaojing and the others used the water from the spiritual spring for drinking and cooking.


    Tian Cang walked to the bottom of the cave and then raised his hand to cast a magical technique towards the left side. In an instant, the ground cracked and a hole appeared.


    Mu Xiaoyin eximed, "Ah, there is another hole here! I never expected that."


    Mi Xiaojing stopped everyone and said, "I will go down alone."


    Tian Cang grinned and said, "Don''t worry, there are no traps here." Then he jumped down.


    Mi Xiaojing followed him and jumped down.


    It was a veryrge space, muchrger than the upper level. The upper level was just a small passage, while this was the real cave.


    It was nearly a hundred meters long and wide, and about ten meters high. It extended deep into the mountain, which meant that the lower level of the cave was not empty.


    There was a glowing formation embedded in the top of the lower level cave. After Tian Cang cast a magical technique, it emitted a warm yellow light.


    At first nce, Mi Xiaojing saw a shelf. It was a wooden shelf with many things on it. Tian Cang picked up a magical sword, some bottles and jars, and some materials.


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly smiled. It turned out that Tian Cang couldn''t take back the small courtyard, but he left many things here. If he just left like that, he would feel unsatisfied. So he used this trick toe in and collect things.


    While Tian Cang was busy packing, Wang Weijun, through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, saw something and couldn''t help but shout, "Quick! Find a way to take that thing on the shelf. It''s a Mirror Gang Stone!"


    Mi Xiaojing was also stunned. He didn''t expect that Tian Cang had actually hidden a Mirror Gang Stone.


    If it wasn''t for Wang Weijun''s reminder, Mi Xiaojing would never have known that this dark stone was a Mirror Gang Stone. It was about the size of a human head and looked inconspicuous from a distance.


    Mi Xiaojing took a step forward, and Tian Cang''s packing speed increased. He warned, "These are all my things..."


    "I know they are your things. How about this, I want to make a deal with you... um, for that stone on the shelf."


    Tian Cang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Stone? Do you know what it is?"


    "Hehe, I don''t know... I just feel... that I have a connection with it!"


    Wang Weijun almost burst outughing in the Mantra Banner. This reason was too ridiculous.


    Tian Cang was speechless. He asked, "You don''t know what it is or what it''s used for, so why do you want to trade for it?"


    Mi Xiaojing took out a bottle and threw it to Tian Cang, saying, "I will trade with this!"


    Three Clear Tranquility Pills!


    Tian Cang really didn''t know what this stone was for. He found it in a ruin and didn''t pay much attention to it. He just put it on the shelf and nned to figure it out someday.


    Originally, Tian Cang didn''t n to trade, but after opening the bottle, his eyes almost popped out. Three Clear Tranquility Pills!


    After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Tian Cang had traveled outside and knew that one Clear Tranquility Pill was a chance to save his life. He had never had such a pill in his hand before. It was extremely difficult to obtain such a pill in the Heart Sect.


    The temptation of the Clear Tranquility Pill was extraordinary. Without hesitation, Tian Cang firmly said, "Alright, I will trade!"


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He never expected that the Mirror Gang Stone would be obtained so easily. The other materials were easy to handle. The list had already been made, and as long as he refined more pills, it would be easy to gather the required materials.


    Carefully putting away the Mirror Gang Stone, Tian Cang also packed up his own things. He said, "Although there is no spiritual spring here, the spiritual qi is even more abundant than above. If you set up a Gathering Spirit Array here, the effect of cultivation will be much better than above."


    "Okay, I don''t know how to set up a Gathering Spirit Array, but you can use the pills to exchange for a Banner Formation for the Gathering Spirit Array. It''s expensive, but definitely worth it."


    Mi Xiaojing looked at him with curiosity, not knowing what he meant by saying this.


    Tian Cang said, "You don''t have to be surprised or look at me like that. The reason I mentioned it is because I want a promise."


    Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "What promise?"


    "When I reach a bottleneck in my cultivation, I cane back... and cultivate here for a few days. Of course, I won''t interfere with your cultivation."


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in the future, if you need pills, you can bring things to exchange!"


    Tian Cang was instantly excited. Although he was a member of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he had no connection with alchemy. He was just attached to the cultivators of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If he hadn''t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn''t have had any status at all. It was really difficult to make friends with a Pill Master.


    "Good!"


    Tian Cang readily agreed. This kind of good thing was hard toe by. Since Mi Xiaojing took the initiative to invite him, he naturally agreed. As for the small courtyard, it didn''t matter if he gave it to Mi Xiaojing. Moreover, he had already taken back his things from here, so there was basically no loss. If he applied to the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he could still get a residence with a spiritual spring, and it might even be better.


    Originally, he came here angrily to fight desperately, but now he left with satisfaction. This result was unexpected for both Mi Xiaojing and Tian Cang.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to his room, and after Tian Cang left the cave entrance, he flew away.


    Mu Xiaoyin saw Mi Xiaojinge in and peeked out, saying, "Where''s that annoying guy?"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "He left..."


    Mu Xiaoyin patted her chest and said, "He''s really fierce... luckily he was scared away by Junior Brother!"

 Chapter 88: Refining the profit and loss pill again

    <h4>Chapter 88: Refining the profit and loss pill again</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s okay, he won''t continue to harass us. He''s not in danger for now."


    Luo Bo said, "If he continues toe, I''ll kill him!"


    Mi Xiaojing touched his head and said, "Don''t always shout about killing. You''ll be happier if you have a bit ofpassion."


    Luo Bo looked at Mi Xiaojing in confusion, but as long as it was something Xiao Mi Ge Ge said, he could still listen.


    Wei Fu was still young. He just hoped to eat well and not be beaten. As for cultivation, he would bezy if he could. Luo Bo was different. The little guy was extremely diligent in cultivation. As long as he had time, he would cultivate seriously.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Recently, I will refine more elixirs and stock up some pills for you. In addition, I will exchange some materials and talismans for you to defend yourselves."


    Since sessfully establishing the foundation, Mi Xiaojing had gained a certain status in the sect. He could solve many troubles, and at least there would be no more Qi Refining disciples to harass them. With Mi Xiaojing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Luo Bo and the others would also have a considerable status. Ordinary people would not dare to provoke them anymore.


    With his strength, Mi Xiaojing had already gained a certain degree of independence. With the support of the Heart Sect, he could gradually grow and be stronger. When he reached a certain height, he could leave this ce with his people. He had no feelings for the Heart Sect, only hatred. However, since he was taught to be kind from a young age, even if he had hatred, he couldn''t do crazy things.


    In the Pill Room of Grass-Benevolence Hall, all the Pill Masters above the Foundation Establishment stage were gathered this time.


    Mi Xiaojing had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he was an inner disciple of the Pill Refining Department. Once he advanced, he automatically obtained the qualification of a Pill Master. However, whether he could refine good pills or whether his alchemy skills were good was not something to consider for now.


    Pill Masters had sect missions. They needed to deliver a certain number of pills each year to truly obtain the qualification of a Pill Master and receive the sect''s resource support.


    Therefore, after Mi Xiaojing advanced, he could participate in the activities of Grass-Benevolence Hall. This time, they were still refining the Loss and Gain Pill, and he also had the opportunity to observe.


    It was still Chen Shouyi refining the pill.


    Actually, Mi Xiaojing didn''t care about this observation. He had Wang Weijun''s inheritance, a Foundation Establishment Pill Master, who wouldn''t give him much help. He just came to show his presence and let the higher-ups remember him. There would always be opportunities.


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing didn''te up with this idea himself. He was just a child and couldn''t think of so much. Wang Weijun actively reminded him and designed the action n.


    The Loss and Gain Pill had been refined several times, but none of them were sessful. However, after several attempts, Chen Shouyi became more confident. Currently, the only problem was theck of materials, which prevented him from refining freely. Each pill refinement was a test.


    Mi Xiaojing stood quietly in the corner, waiting, while Wang Weijun kept urging him to go forward. However, Mi Xiaojing was full of hatred for the Heart Sect in his heart. He didn''t want to have deep interactions with the people of the Heart Sect. Even if Wang Weijun kept urging him, he still stood still.


    Wang Weijun sighed. Of course, he knew why Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to. He said, "Sometimes, if you want revenge, you have to blend in with them, gain their trust, and then kill them!"


    "Is that what you think?"


    "Hehe, I''m just suggesting. Hehe, don''t mind me."


    Wang Weijun suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did he say his way of dealing with Mi Xiaojing out loud? Fortunately, this kid was a bit stubborn. If he figured out something, it wouldn''t be cost-effective. So he justughed a few times and didn''t say much.


    Mi Xiaojing calmed down and watched Chen Shouyi refining the pill. With the recent pill refining, he saw many problems and his doubts grew.


    "Why are they refining pills like this? It seems like there are many problems with their techniques."


    "Hmph, don''tpare their pill refining methods with mine. They are unworthy. I''ve already said that you shouldn''t watch them. If you don''t absorb good experiences and bad techniques instead, it will be more harm than good! Their pill refining, heh, is all trash!"


    Wang Weijun became proud, which was also a major characteristic of his.


    "Alright, I''m considering how to refine the Cultivating Essence Pill. I''ve also collected a lot of materials. I hope I can seed when I refine it."


    "Don''t worry, with the zing Cloud Cauldron, there shouldn''t be any problems in refining the Cultivating Essence Pill. The ancient alchemy technique that I taught you is not something to worry about. When you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage and find a certain kind of spiritual fire or fire essence, you can even refine pills out of thin air, and even more advanced pills."


    "Of course, if you can get the legendary Pill Cauldron, that''s impossible."


    "Do you know which Pill Cauldrons are truly powerful?"


    "I know a bit, but they are all legendary Pill Cauldrons. For example, the Beiyeda Pill Cauldron is considered an Ancient Immortal Tool. This thing is meaningless. Even if you get it, you can''t use it."


    "Beiyeda Pill Cauldron?"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t imagine how amazing it was.


    "That is a Pill Cauldron that can refine Immortal Pills!"


    Mi Xiaojing felt this kind of admiration for the first time from Wang Weijun''s tone. If even he admired it, this thing must be really powerful. After all, he was still young and had not been cultivating for long. He didn''t have much concept of these legendary things. Of course, he just listened without any sense of admiration.


    "That''s the true Pill Cauldron. Our current Pill Cauldrons are just a name. To be precise, they are just pill furnaces. They can''t be called cauldrons!"


    "The zing Cloud Cauldron is just a zing Cloud Furnace? It feels so bad. zing Cloud Cauldron sounds better."


    Mi Xiaojing certainly didn''t like the term zing Cloud Furnace. It was too inferior and sounded low-level. zing Cloud Cauldron felt more advanced.


    Wang Weijun reminded, "The pill is about to form!"


    In Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, the technique for forming the pill was already very clumsy. There were many unnecessary magical techniques and incantations. It seemed difficult to form the pill without using them. But in his opinion, as long as there were two magical techniques and one incantation, it would be enough. However, Chen Shouyi used a bunch of them.


    The pill failed to form and turned into powder, spreading a strong burnt aroma.


    Chen Shouyi''s face was gloomy. He slowly lowered his head, pondering and trying to find out where the mistake was.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t say a word. He wouldn''t remind or tell Chen Shouyi the correct technique for forming the pill. For him, it waspletely impossible to talk about this. Not to mention whether it would be useful or not, even with Chen Shouyi''s temperament, he wouldn''t listen to his opinion.

 Chapter 89: Pill

    <h4>Chapter 89: Pill</h4>


    "Chen Shouyi waved his hand and said, ''You all can disperse.''"


    Immortal Maiden Bi Luo asked, "Are there any materials left?"


    Chen Shouyi smiled bitterly and said, "There are none for now. This is thest batch. We need to continue collecting materials."


    Immortal Maiden Bi Luo turned around and left, saying, "I''ll go collect them. You think it through and find a way to condense the elixir as soon as possible!"


    The crowd dispersed silently. Mi Xiaojing saw Hong Qing, who had a triumphant look on his face as if Chen Shouyi''s failure was his victory.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t go home but chose a pill room instead. He could now choose a rtively better pill room.


    The pill rooms avable for Foundation Establishment cultivators generally had better fire control, but the pill cauldrons were still average. They were only slightly better than those used by Qi Refining cultivators, which Mi Xiaojing naturally looked down upon.


    Mi Xiaojing carefully selected this pill room. He didn''t care about the size or the quality of the pill cauldron inside the pill room. He only cared about the stability of the fire and the controble temperature.


    As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had looked at every pill room and then chose a suitable one. This pill room might seem average to others, but it was different for Mi Xiaojing. He had his own way of discerning.


    .


    He put aside the original pill cauldron and took out his own ze Cloud Cauldron, cing it directly on the fire hole.


    This was how low-level alchemy worked. It relied on the fire. Once he advanced to the Elemental Infant stage and had a good pill cauldron, he wouldn''t need the help of the fire anymore. At that time, alchemy would consume spirit stones, and the pill cauldrons woulde with their own me formations. The higher the level of the pill cauldron, the better the fire formation it would have. Top-tier pill cauldrons might even have treasures like fire essence.


    He used a technique, and the ze Cloud Cauldron expanded and quickly stabilized on the fire hole.


    He activated the formations around the ze Cloud Cauldron and adjusted the fire control formation slightly ording to Wang Weijun''s instructions. This was also very important. If he didn''t understand it and refined pills like this, the control of the fire would be slightlycking. Although it was just a small difference, the results of alchemy would be vastly different.


    Wang Weijun reminded him of these small details. As a former expert in the Unity stage, such things were easy for him.


    Mi Xiaojing easily refined some Qi Refining Pills. It was really easy. No matter which pill he refined, most of them turned out to be high-grade pills. He also refined several Clear Tranquility Pills, which were extremely smooth. Unfortunately, he didn''t have the materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills; otherwise, he would have wanted to refine several batches of them.


    After two days of tinkering, Mi Xiaojing refined all the materials for Qi Refining Pills and Clear Tranquility Pills into pills. He felt much more proficient in his technique. He then took out the materials for Cultivating Essence Pills and prepared to refine them.


    Cultivating Essence Pills were the oldest type of spirit pills. Due to their unique refining method, there were very few sects in the cultivation world that possessed them. Even if they did, it was difficult to refine them. Therefore, Cultivating Essence Pills were gradually disappearing, not because they were not good, but because the number of people who could refine them was too scarce.


    These spirit pills belonged to the ancient pill forms. Once they appeared on the market, they would be bought at a high price. However, in recent decades, these spirit pills had be increasingly rare, and many cultivators didn''t even know about them.


    Wang Weijun obtained the ancient pill form for this pill at a great cost of time and effort. It greatly helped his cultivation back then, so the inheritance Mi Xiaojing received was quite powerful. However, he was currentlycking practical experience.


    As long as he seeded in refining it once, he would be able to produce Cultivating Essence Pills continuously in the future. Of course, with the cultivation of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, the help of Cultivating Essence Pills would be rtively small. But even so, Cultivating Essence Pills were still excellent pills for cultivating.


    Mi Xiaojing began to process the various materials. The materials for Cultivating Essence Pills were notplicated; there were only seven types, six of which could be artificially cultivated and obtained from the Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    There was also a kind of spirit herb that was not a rare variety and could be purchased in the market. Therefore, Mi Xiaojing had umted enough materials for Cultivating Essence Pills.


    He strictly followed the inherited experience to refine the pills. Mi Xiaojing had no other ideas; he just wanted to refine the pills step by step. He wouldn''t make any arbitrary actions. Wang Weijun was very satisfied with this. He firmly believed that as long as Mi Xiaojing followed the method of the inheritance to refine the pills, he would definitely seed.


    Mi Xiaojing carefully refined the Cultivating Essence Pills. It went smoothly all the way. After all, Wang Weijun''s experience was extraordinary. As time passed, he finally reached the step of condensing the elixir. Mi Xiaojing had the unique incantation and technique for condensing the elixir given by Wang Weijun. Moreover, there were special modifications for the Cultivating Essence Pills, which could increase the sess rate of condensing the elixir.


    Without any surprises, Mi Xiaojing seeded in his first batch of pills. Although they were not high-grade pills, they were not low-grade either. They were three middle-grade pills.


    Mi Xiaojing was already very exhausted at this point. He thought for a moment and decided to temporarily give up refining pills and instead focus on cultivation in the pill room.


    He already had the power of the Starry Sky within his body. Even if Mi Xiaojing was in a pill room inside a cave, he could still draw in starlight into his body. The dominance of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was evident here. Once he had the power of the Starry Sky, he could absorb starlight no matter where he was, even if he was cultivating during the day or underground. It wouldn''t be affected.


    Just by activating the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, Mi Xiaojing immediately sensed the starlight entering his body silently and seamlessly. This made Mi Xiaojing very happy. Originally, he didn''t fully believe in the records of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, but now he waspletely convinced. It really worked. It should be noted that he was currently deep underground, cultivating inside the mountain.


    During his second cultivation session, the speed at which starlight entered his body didn''t change at all. The starlight formed into Starry Qi, which, after a period of nourishment, would condense into Starry True Essence in his body. Currently, Mi Xiaojing only had a trace of Starry True Essence in his body. The rest was all Starry Qi. This transformation process was the process of Mi Xiaojing''s progress.


    The cultivation speed was incredibly fast. In just half an hour, the starlight that had been consumed waspletely replenished.


    Mi Xiaojing was also greatly surprised. He didn''t expect the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art to cultivate at such a fast speed. This gave him time. It should be known that time was what cultivatorscked the most. Due to spending a lot of time on cultivation, it was difficult to learn other things. The key was that there wasn''t enough time.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing nned to cultivate for half a day, but the result was that it only took half an hour. He didn''t continue refining pills because he had another task, which was Evolutionary Immortality. He had already made up his mind not to give up on it in this lifetime.


    Reciting the true incantation, the true incantation characters flew out from the Mantra Banner, apanying Mi Xiaojing''s recitation. These true incantation characters quickly merged into the Starry Qi and turned into extremely tiny golden lights...

 Chapter 90: Silver Pattern

    <h4>Chapter 90: Silver Pattern</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing has already been able to recite the three-character mantra continuously, with three characters each time. The power of the three-character mantra is different from that of single-character and double-character mantras. Being able to recite the three-character mantra continuously is considered a true entry in the world of Ascension. It is like a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, stepping into the world of cultivation.


    These mantra characters, except for entering the power of the Starry Sky, have all entered Mi Xiaojing''s prayer beads. Every time three golden lights enter the prayer beads, Mi Xiaojing doesn''t know that there is a hint of Starry Sky power mixed in each three golden lights.


    Ascension and cultivation are mysteriouslybined by Mi Xiaojing, and both are progressing rapidly. As for whether this kind of cultivation is good or bad, Mi Xiaojing himself is not sure, but he feels that it is good.


    Because he recites the three-character mantra, the cultivation speed has also be faster. And every time he recites, the mantra falls in three ces. One falls on the heart tower, one falls in the power of the Starry Sky, and one falls on the prayer beads. The most amazing thing is that when the three-character mantra is spoken, the three ces simultaneously obtain the mantra characters, which greatly surprises Mi Xiaojing.


    This cultivation took a little longer, ending after more than an hour. It took twice as long as cultivation, but Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that the Starry Sky power converted into Starry Sky true essence had increased slightly. In other words, he can cultivate again.


    After calcting, if he alternates between cultivation and Ascension, the cultivation speed can be greatly improved. The effect of cultivating for a day is not as good as his cultivation for a few hours. This is a new discovery.


    However, Mi Xiaojing has no ns to continue cultivation. After all, this cultivation was only to recover from fatigue.


    He started refining the Cultivating Essence Pill again, intending to consume all the materials in his hands in one go so that he could rest for a while and continue to search for alchemy materials during that time.


    Mi Xiaojing calcted that he still had twelve sets of materials for refining the Cultivating Essence Pill. If he refines them seriously, he might have a good harvest.


    After the alchemy waspleted, there were two failures, but they were notplete failures. He obtained seven Low-Grade Cultivating Essence Pills and sessfully refined the others. Among them, there were six Medium-Grade Cultivating Essence Pills, plus the previous three, so he obtained a total of nine Medium-Grade Cultivating Essence Pills.


    There were even more High-Grade Cultivating Essence Pills. He obtained a total of seventeen High-Grade pills. There were differences in the quality of the High-Grade Cultivating Essence Pills. The best one had eight very clear pill patterns, and three had seven clear pill patterns.


    What surprised Mi Xiaojing the most was that he also refined a Cultivating Essence Pill with silver pill patterns. Even Wang Weijun couldn''t understand what kind of Spirit Pill this was.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to eat this pill himself. He named it the Silver Pattern Cultivating Essence Pill. He carefully recalled and realized that when refining this pill, he used the power of the Starry Sky at the moment of Condensing Elixir. Sure enough, when he carefully observed the Silver Pattern Cultivating Essence Pill again, he discovered that besides the silver patterns, there were also extremely subtle golden lights. Without careful observation, it would be impossible to notice.


    Mi Xiaojing pondered for a long time and began to discuss with Wang Weijun.


    "When I used the power of the Starry Sky during Condensing Elixir, the pill patterns turned silver after the pill was formed, and there were also mantra characters mixed in it. Can this Cultivating Essence Pill still be taken?"


    "I don''t know. I estimate that you should have no problem taking it, but I don''t know the consequences if others take it. Why don''t you find a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage to try it?"


    "Ah? That''s not good. What if something goes wrong?"


    "What''s the problem? It''s not your fault even if something goes wrong. Even if he dies from taking it, it''s not your responsibility. There''s no pill that is 100% safe. What if his cultivation greatly improves after taking it? That''s a good thing. There are pros and cons to this kind of thing. It depends on personal choice."


    h h h, Wang Weijun''s concept was that if someone dies from taking the pill, it''s their own fault. But if they benefit from it, it''s their own credit.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. Can it be done this way? It''s simply shameless. He shook his head and said, "This is not good."


    "You''re too old-fashioned, kid. The Ascension method is no longer suitable for you. If you continue to mix in the world of cultivation like this, you won''t even know when you''ll die. You can''t be too honest!"


    "What does this have to do with the world of cultivation?"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused by Wang Weijun''s reaction. He didn''t think he said anything wrong. Little did he know that in the world of cultivation, Wang Weijun was a swindler, a cheat, a murderer. Trying medicine was simply too merciful and not a big deal.


    Wang Weijun said, "If there''s a chance to give it to someone to take, that''s a good thing!"


    Mi Xiaojing drylyughed, "Hehe, let''s talk about itter!" He made up his mind to eat this pill himself. After all, he refined it himself, and he had no difort with the power of the Starry Sky and the mantra characters. If he ate it, he ate it.


    Unfortunately, there were no more materials left. Otherwise, he would have tested it thoroughly. Perhaps he could obtain more Silver Pattern Cultivating Essence Pills. He had a vague feeling that this kind of Spirit Pill should be extraordinary.


    Just because he hadn''t tested it, Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to confirm whether this pill was good or bad. He remembered the process of refining the Silver Pattern Cultivating Essence Pill in his heart, and he nned to continue trying in the future. Maybe he could refine a new kind of Spirit Pill.


    In the Sword Heart Sect, being an alchemist was very difficult at first. After using the sect''s materials, they had to hand over a high share of pills. Alchemists often found it difficult toplete. Once they survived this process, it was like the sky was wide open. At that time, alchemists would be wealthy.


    However, Mi Xiaojing did not use the sect''s materials. As the cost of renting the Pill Room for a long time, he only needed to hand over three Low-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Of course, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have any Low-Grade Qi Refining Pills. The minimum he could offer was Medium-Grade Qi Refining Pills, so he only needed to hand over one Medium-Grade Qi Refining Pill.


    After handing over one Medium-Grade Qi Refining Pill to the person in charge of the Pill Room, Mi Xiaojing returned home.


    He gave some Qi Refining Pills to Zhang Ke and asked him to exchange them for Low-Grade Qi Refining Pills when he had time. Because the ones Mi Xiaojing gave were all High-Grade, and they couldn''t be taken by the few of them. The power was too strong, and the impact was too great. The effect of taking them was not good, and most of the Spiritual Qi would be wasted.


    One High-Grade Qi Refining Pill could be exchanged for many Low-Grade Qi Refining Pills, enough for them for several days of consumption. Anyway, after Mi Xiaojing could refine pills, the use of pills by them was unlimited, they could use them as they pleased. Of course, when it came to Spirit Pills and Medicinal Pills, there was basically no effect after a certain point.


    But Mi Xiaojing had given them a lot of pills, and the Low-Grade pills were useless, so they used Medium-Grade pills. If the Medium-Grade pills were useless, they would use High-Grade pills. If the High-Grade pills were useless, they would switch to another kind of pill. This way of cultivation was undoubtedly the most extravagant. Ordinary cultivators couldn''t even think of doing this, as they didn''t have so many resources to consume.

 Chapter 91: Trading event

    <h4>Chapter 91: Trading event</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing left all the cultivating essence pills and some high-quality Clear Tranquility Pills behind, and gave the rest to Zhang Ke to negotiate and exchange for the resources they needed. At the same time, Mi Xiaojing also gave him a list of materials needed, including the materials for refining the pill cauldron. With the Thunder Gang Stone he identally obtained, it was now possible to repair the pill cauldron, which was even better than the current ze Cloud Cauldron.


    Zhang Ke became Mi Xiaojing''s major steward. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had some status in the middle and lower levels of the Sword Heart Sect and could solve many problems.


    As Mi Xiaojing advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, more and more people in the sect started to interact with him. The number of people who wanted to buy and trade for spirit pills gradually increased, and they all contacted Zhang Ke. If Zhang Ke felt uncertain about the traded items and found them valuable, he would ask Mi Xiaojing for help.


    Gradually, Mi Xiaojing realized that he had already established a stable position in the Sword Heart Sect. As winter wasing to an end, he was full of confidence in surviving.


    In the spring of the Sword Heart Sect, flowers bloomed everywhere. Wildflowers blossomed all over the mountains, with tender buds and goose yellow and light green colors. Layers of colors, including white, blue, and red, were surrounded by various flowers.


    Winter passed, and spring came. Vegetation revived, and life was everywhere.


    Throughout the winter, except for the attack from the Vast Gold Sect, everything was peaceful. However, there were still undercurrents in the Sword Heart Sect, and no one knew when the Vast Gold Sect woulde again. Moreover, the injuries of the Sword Heart Sect''s Elder Yu Hong became more and more severe. Due to the failure of refining the Loss and Gain Pill and the depletion of alchemy materials, the high-level members of the Sword Heart Sect did not dare to act rashly.


    Fortunately, the entire sect was self-sufficient. Even if the mountain gate was closed, there would not be any major incidents within a few years, unless the Vast Gold Sect found more powerful helpers. Otherwise, there was no danger to the sect''s headquarters.


    Various rumors were circting within the sect. Every cultivator was striving to improve themselves, knowing that their own strength was the key to survival in a major battle.


    Various talismans, weapons, and pills were popr in the Sword Heart Sect and were sought after by cultivators. Even those who were skilled in alchemy, refining tools, and making talismans became objects of pursuit.


    With an unlimited supply of pills, Zhang Ke directly advanced to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, while Luo Bo had already reached the Qi Refining Late Stage and was attempting to break through to the Great Perfection stage. Wei Fu also advanced to the Qi Refining Early Stage with the help of pills.


    As for Mu Xiaoyin, she was struggling. She was still at the primary stage of Evolutionary Immortality, the lowest level of the Conversion realm. However, she was about to advance to the second level, the Cultivation stage. It wasn''t that Mu Xiaoyin wasn''t working hard, but Mi Xiaojing was not yet qualified to be her master in Evolutionary Immortality. Most of her Evolutionary Immortality came from the Mantra Banner, and Evolutionary Immortality was always difficult at the beginning but became faster than cultivation at higher levels.


    Mi Xiaojing made even greater progress. Besides consuming cultivating essence pills, he crazily absorbed starlight. The most surprising thing was that it took time to convert starlight into Starry Sky Gang, but as long as he practiced Evolutionary Immortality, the Mantra could help convert starlight. Therefore, as long as he had enough time, his cultivation speed skyrocketed.


    Not long after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Mi Xiaojing had already begun to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.


    Cross-training was the most valuable experience Mi Xiaojing gained. Even Wang Weijun was stunned. He didn''t expect that cultivation could be done in this way.


    ording to his estimation, from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, even with sufficient spirit pills, it would be impossible to advance without one or two years. However, now everything was different. Mi Xiaojing used the Mantra to convert starlight, eliminating the time limit. His cultivation speed was truly astonishing.


    Mi Xiaojing also sessfully refined the Thunder Gang Wood, with twoplete Thunder Spirit Patterns. Each pattern consisted of nine Thunder Spirit Patterns, which was Mi Xiaojing''s proudest achievement. The twoplete patterns made the quality of this magical sword excellent. Even Wang Weijun couldn''t help but admire it. It should be noted that a magical sword refined with Thunder Gang Wood could continue to be refined in the future. As long as the level and cultivation improved, this magical sword could even be refined into a spiritual weapon.


    One day, Tian Cang came to visit.


    Mi Xiaojing and he had resolved their grievances, so they asionally interacted. Mainly, Tian Cang used the materials he collected to exchange for Mi Xiaojing''s pills.


    "Junior Brother Mi, not cultivating?"


    Tian Cang smiled and walked in. His injuries hadpletely healed, and he had reced his broken arm and leg with prosthetics, which were also weapons specially made for him. They were equivalent to two small magical tools and had considerable power. As they were covered by clothes, it was not easy for outsiders to see their secrets.


    "Why does Senior Brother Tian have time toe here?"


    Mi Xiaojing casually exchanged pleasantries.


    Tian Cang said, "I really have something to discuss with you this time."


    "What is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing was curious. This guy always had various misceneous matters to discuss every time he came.


    Tian Cang smiled mysteriously and said, "Good things, good things!"


    Mi Xiaojing led him back to the room and sat down, saying, "What good things? Why are you being so secretive? Tell me."


    Tian Cang said, "There is a rtively high-level trading event where you can find many good things. You also know that everyone has been uneasy recently. It is said that our sect''s Ancestor is still injured and has been recuperating. They say there are no suitable spirit pills."


    Mi Xiaojing instantly thought of the refining of the Loss and Gain Pill and nodded secretly. He also knew that the Loss and Gain Pill was a spirit pill used to treat Elemental Infant stage experts, but the sect had failed to refine it several times.


    .


    Tian Cang continued, "Regardless, we must strengthen our own armaments, so this trading event was organized. Well, will you participate?"


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated for a moment and said, "I don''t need anything at the moment."


    Tian Cang became anxious and said, "Not needing it temporarily doesn''t mean you won''t need it in the future. Be prepared early to avoid any problems. Go, go."


    Mi Xiaojing wondered, "Why are you in such a rush and asking me to go?"


    Tian Cang blushed slightly and said, "Um, it''s just that I can''t go myself."


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned and asked, "What?"


    Tian Cang exined, "Most of the participants are skilled in a certain field, such as those who are good at refining tools and can refine Foundation Establishment stage or higher talismans. There are also cultivators like you who are skilled in alchemy. These are the people they invite. Other participants must have at least reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and have a certain amount of wealth. I am only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and don''t have any special abilities, so I can''t go. If you go, you can take my ce."


    "Oh, I see."

 Chapter 92: Make a move

    <h4>Chapter 92: Make a move</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly realized, no wonder Tian Cang came to inform him so eagerly, it turned out that he didn''t have enough qualifications. He still didn''t want to go because he didn''t want to expose himself.


    Tian Cang seemed to know what Mi Xiaojing was thinking and said, "No deal without meeting in person!"


    Mi Xiaojing was greatly surprised. How could there be a deal without meeting in person?


    Tian Cang said, "In the sect, everyone knows each other. Many good things are not willing to be traded openly. But in this kind of trade fair, there are not so many concerns. Whatever you bring out, someone dares to take it because no one knows who you are. At most, they will guess, but guessing doesn''t matter."


    "And you don''t have to worry about bringing me along. Once we enter, we will be separated. Once the trade begins, I won''t know what you will sell or what you will buy. This way, everyone''s mind is more at ease!"


    Mi Xiaojing was tempted. If that''s the case, it''s worth going.


    "When does it start? By the way, no one hase to find me."


    "It starts in five days."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded.


    "As for how to go, I need your authorization, and then I will help you handle it. Hmm, you also need to pay a hundred spirit stones as a guarantee. If there are no idents after leaving, these spirit stones will be returned to you."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "That''s fine. We''ll go together in five days. I''ll wait for you here."


    Tian Cang bid farewell and left. He almost left in jubtion. This kind of trade fair is actually very famous in the Heart Sect. It is silently approved by the high-level members of the sect and has nothing to do with low-level disciples. It is the favorite of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators. Here, various things can be exchanged.


    Even if you can''t exchange for what you need, you can still find many good things. Even if you can''t use them yourself, you can trade with others or store them for yourself.


    After Tian Cang left, Mi Xiaojing began to calcte his own inventory. In the previous alchemy sessions, he exchanged for arge amount of materials, and there are not many pills left. He must refine a batch of pills within five days. He can''t show anything else, Mi Xiaojing is still very poor.


    Five dayster, Tian Cang brought Mi Xiaojing to the entrance of a cave. He had given Mi Xiaojing a mask and a ck robe beforehand, which could cover his face. The robe also had a hood.


    The two arrived at the entrance, where two Foundation Establishment cultivators were guarding.


    Tian Cang handed over two invitations, and they were allowed in.


    They followed the passage down, winding back and forth. The passage was deep, and the two walked silently without speaking.


    Soon, they were led by someone to go separate ways. Mi Xiaojing followed a servant and entered a stone room. In the center of the room, there was a rush cushion, surrounded by stone walls.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but be stunned. How can they trade like this?


    Suddenly, a wall in front of him emitted a white light, and a one-meter diameter round tform rose in front of the cushion. Mi Xiaojing could tell at a nce that the round tform was covered in spirit patterns. With his current understanding of spirit patterns, he couldn''t help but be stunned.


    This was a real big move. It turned out to be a teleportation spirit pattern, which means that anything you want to trade, as long as you ce it on the tform, it will be teleported away. What''s even more amazing is that Mi Xiaojing discovered that this teleportation was two-way.


    The servant who led the way began to exin how to trade.


    You can project the image of the item onto the stone wall by cing it on the tform. Everyone participating in the trade can see it, and then they can start bidding.


    Generally, spirit stones are used for trading. Of course, if you have special items, you can also have a direct trade with the owner, which others can''t see.


    The servant gave Mi Xiaojing a small booklet, which was a special introduction on how to trade. It recorded how to operate the tform. Once the tform was activated, it would consume two spirit stones per hour. The first hour was free, but if it took longer, you would have to use your own spirit stones.


    Mi Xiaojing found it very novel, but Wang Weijun didn''t care. This kind of trading method has beenmon in the cultivation world for the past hundred years. There was nothing special about it.


    Wang Weijun thought it was ordinary, but Mi Xiaojing found it extremely amazing. This thing not only hides the identity of the trader, but also allows people to let go of their concerns and bring out their own treasures. This can avoid being targeted by other experts.


    Once Mi Xiaojing let go, he dared to take out the high-quality pills he refined and test the waters.


    He started marking a bottle of high-quality Qi Refining Pill.


    High-quality Qi Refining Pill, with seven to eight pill patterns, a total of three pills, bidding with spirit stones!


    Then, Mi Xiaojing saw this bottle of high-quality Qi Refining Pill appear on the white light screen on the stone wall.


    Soon, people started bidding. In the end, the three high-quality Qi Refining Pills were exchanged for a total of sixty low-grade spirit stones. This price was neither high nor low because everyone here was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or above, and they didn''t need these low-grade spirit pills. They would buy them for their disciples.


    This was just a trial. After this, Mi Xiaojing had a clear idea. He nned to put out some more powerful pills. In these five days, he had indeed refined many good pills.


    However, at this moment, Mi Xiaojing didn''t rush to put out other pills. Instead, he started looking at what others were putting up.


    First, he searched for magical swords. He needed three low-grade magical swords for Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu to use.


    He also looked for some good battle talismans and if there were any array disks, he would exchange for them. As long as they were things he needed, he wanted to obtain them.


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. A low-grade magical sword without even forming a single spirit pattern was being priced at one hundred to two hundred spirit stones. It was simply robbing people.


    As for talismans and array disks, they were even more expensive. Then, when he looked at the pills, Mi Xiaojing was equally shocked. He realized that he shouldn''t have sold the high-quality Qi Refining Pills. Those things were not what these experts needed. Of course, they would only offer a low price for them. They didn''t care. Only the pills they needed were truly sought after.


    After looking for a while, Mi Xiaojing was disappointed to find that if he didn''t sell pills, he wouldn''t be able to buy anything useful. After thinking about it, Mi Xiaojing gritted his teeth and took out a small bottle. This was the ss bottle he made himself, made of crystal, and could only hold one pill. Inside was a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.


    After hesitating for a moment, Mi Xiaojing still ced the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill on the tform and marked it with an exnation.


    High-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, with seven pill patterns, starting at a minimum of one hundred spirit stones. The highest bidder wins.


    As soon as this high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill was ced on the tform, it immediately caused a sensation. In the Heart Sect, Foundation Establishment Pills were collected by the sect. Obviously, this high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill was secretly refined by some pill master.


    Cultivators also have rtives and disciples. They also worry about Foundation Establishment Pills. It is very easy to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator with one Foundation Establishment Pill, as long as their aptitude is not too poor. Therefore, many people were determined to get this high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.


    The price skyrocketed in an instant.

 Chapter 93: Blue-Green Large Wood Banner Formation

    <h4>Chapter 93: Blue-Green Large Wood Banner Formation</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to ask for a higher price, but instead offered an obviously low price. As a result, the price went from one hundred spirit stones to five hundred spirit stones, and it kept rising.


    Actually, a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill would normally cost four to five hundred spirit stones, which is a reasonable price. However, it doesn''t apply here. The final price ended up being seven hundred and twenty spirit stones, which was considered a high price.


    Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied and started selecting and purchasing magical swords. He spent more than half of the spirit stones he just acquired, a total of over four hundred spirit stones, to purchase three decent magical swords.


    A decent talisman would cost around five to six spirit stones, but that is for Qi Refining cultivators. Talismans used by Foundation Establishment cultivators usually cost fifteen to twenty spirit stones, and they usually buy them in batches of ten.


    Mi Xiaojing privatelymunicated and exchanged Clear Tranquility Pills. He had quite a few Clear Tranquility Pills, and everyone needed them, especially Foundation Establishment cultivators. This pill could be a lifesaver in critical moments.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing discovered a banner formation, and it was a formation refined by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Green Wood Banner Formation. It was made up of seven refined green wood materials andbined defense and attack capabilities, making it a very good array disk.


    Mi Xiaojing immediatelymunicated privately. He needed this array disk.


    "What do you want in exchange for this array disk?"


    "What do you have? I''m not interested in spirit stones!"


    "Spirit pills!"


    "What kind of spirit pills? Do you have any spirit pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators? If you do, I''ll exchange. At least three spirit pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators, like the Cultivating Essence Pill."


    "I don''t have the Cultivating Essence Pill, but I have the Essence Cultivating Pill!"


    "The Essence Cultivating Pill? Wow, is it the legendary Essence Cultivating Pill?"


    "Yes, but three pills are too many. One Essence Cultivating Pill."


    The person fell silent for a moment.


    "Is it a low-grade pill?"


    Mi Xiaojing did have low-grade Essence Cultivating Pills, which were considered useless pills to him and he wouldn''t take them himself.


    "If it''s a low-grade pill, would you exchange?"


    Mi Xiaojing cautiously tested the waters. As an alchemist, he didn''t really value low-grade pills.


    "If it''s a low-grade pill, I want three. If it''s a middle-grade Essence Cultivating Pill, one is enough!"


    The person had been stuck in the early Foundation Establishment stage for a long time. If he had a middle-grade Essence Cultivating Pill, he would have a great chance of breaking through. So, he was more eager for the trade than Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed to hear that he could exchange the low-grade Essence Cultivating Pills for the array disk. He quickly agreed, "Deal, three low-grade Essence Cultivating Pills!"


    After the enthusiastic trade, Mi Xiaojing was not aware that once he reached the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages, the pills used for cultivation would be extremely scarce. Truly good spirit pills were almost impossible to find and buy!


    Only those with a good rtionship with alchemists had a chance to obtain some pills for cultivation, and their prices were quite shocking.


    Both parties felt that it was a good deal. After the person received the Essence Cultivating Pills, he only opened the bottle and took a sniff, his face showing extreme excitement. With these three Essence Cultivating Pills, he could be certain of breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage with an eighty percent chance, which was very good.


    Mi Xiaojing was equally excited. Three low-grade Essence Cultivating Pills that he considered useless could actually be exchanged for an array disk. In this aspect, he was not ignorant. He knew that refining an array disk would require a lot of time, effort, and materials. The most crucial part was the time spent. Time was extremely precious for every cultivator, and spending a lot of time refining tools would affect cultivation.


    A white light shed, and a wooden box appeared on the round tform.


    Mi Xiaojing reached out and took it down. This was the Green Wood Banner Formation he exchanged for.


    Surprisingly, the wooden box was emerald green, not painted with green paint, but naturally green wood. Mi Xiaojing had never seen this kind of material before and asked Wang Weijun.


    Wang Weijun saw the wooden box through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes and said lightly, "There are many types of green wood. This is a rtively low-grade one. The true green wood is immortal wood, which is the best. This green wood can only be considered pseudo-green wood. It is a kind of wood core that has grown for thousands of years and has been refined through special methods. Of course, this pseudo-green wood has some characteristics of green wood."


    "Ah? Is it thatplicated?"


    Mi Xiaojing felt dizzy listening to this. He didn''t expect there to be such distinctions. He curiously asked, "If it''s true green wood..."


    "Don''t think too much about it. That''s impossible. If it''s refined with immortal wood, it wouldn''t be a tool array disk anymore, but an immortal tool array disk. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn''t be able to activate it. They arepletely different things."


    "Open it and take a look. This array disk was refined in an interesting way."


    Mi Xiaojing performed a hand gesture, and the lid of the green wooden box suddenly shrank, as if melting ice, and retracted towards the edge of the box, revealing the seven green wood materials inside.


    "Huh? What is this thing?"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What?"


    The wooden box was only a foot long, the width of a palm, and three fingers thick. Inside the wooden box were seven dripping green branches. The most peculiar thing was that these branches were notrge, about the length of chopsticks and as thick as a pinky finger. Each green wood branch had one to three tender green leaves. Upon closer inspection, one could see that both the branches and leaves were covered withyers of intricate spiritual patterns.


    "This wasn''t refined by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but by a Elemental Infant expert. The wooden box was addedter. This idiot didn''t know where he got the Green Wood Banner Formation and tried to refine it again with this clumsy method. It didn''t work at all. Haha, you''ve gained a big advantage this time!"


    "So, it was refined by someone else. Are you saying that this is his second attempt at refining it and it''s not finished yet?"


    "Haha, that idiot actually tried to refine the Blue Green Great Wood Banner Formation with this crude method, forcibly forming an array disk. It''s a waste. These seven Elemental Leaf Green Wood Banners can form an independent formation. Adding an array disk is simply superfluous and unnecessary!"


    "You don''t need this wooden box. These seven Elemental Leaf Green Wood Banners are a set of formations?"


    "Yes, that''s right. That idiot added the wooden box, but it can only unleash one-tenth of the power of this formation. I guess he used it awkwardly and couldn''t unleash its full power, so he decided to trade it. Haha, ignorance is truly terrifying!"


    Mi Xiaojing began to understand. He seemed to have picked up something good.


    "Is this thing good?"


    "Of course, it''s good. With your current strength, you wouldn''t be able to obtain such a treasure. You need to refine it again and fully master this set of banners. This formation is very good. You can use it all the way to the Elemental Infant stage. You''re really lucky!"


    Mi Xiaojing was secretly delighted. He didn''t expect to exchange the three low-grade Essence Cultivating Pills for such a good item. He quickly put it away and nned to study it slowly when he returned.


    The trade was still going on vigorously...

 Chapter 94: Expensive!

    <h4>Chapter 94: Expensive!</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment. This opportunity was rare. Could he exchange some Cultivating Essence Pills for Spirit Stones? This way, he could use the Spirit Stones to buy what he needed and also umte arge amount of Spirit Stones. As a family, they all needed arge amount of Spirit Stones.


    "If I exchange Cultivating Essence Pills for Spirit Stones, will it attract attention?"


    "That''s for sure. But even if it attracts attention, so what?"


    Wang Weijun said indifferently. As a cultivator, sometimes he couldn''t afford to be idle. He had to make a move when necessary.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and took out a bottle and ced it on the round tform, thenbeled it.


    Cultivating Essence Pill, refined using ancient methods, lower-grade Cultivating Essence Pill suitable for Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stage cultivators, higher-grade Cultivating Essence Pill suitable for Elemental Infant stage, one bottle contains three middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pills, each priced at 500 Spirit Stones.


    As soon as this news was released, it caused a huge sensation, much greater than when the Foundation Establishment Pill was released earlier.


    Chen Shouyi was also present at this trading event. He was stunned when he saw the Cultivating Essence Pill. In the sect, who else could refine Cultivating Essence Pills? He couldn''t refine them himself. As a master alchemist, he knew how rare these pills were. He had already made up his mind to obtain this bottle of Cultivating Essence Pills no matter what.


    Hong Qing was also pleasantly surprised. He understood the value of Cultivating Essence Pills. He had been stuck at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time and couldn''t make any progress. He needed effective pills to help him break through, and the Cultivating Essence Pill was such a pill. How could he let it go?


    At the trading event, there were Elder Yuan Ying experts presiding over it. When the Cultivating Essence Pill was released, even the Yuan Ying stage experts were rmed.


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden stared at the Cultivating Essence Pill, unable to hide her astonishment. "Did Chen Shouyi release this? Howe I didn''t know he could refine Cultivating Essence Pills?" She couldn''t imagine that this was the remnant of the Western Expansion Sect, a pill refined by a small Evolutionary Immortality cultivator.


    As for other cultivators, as long as they understood what this meant, they couldn''t help but be excited. Even if some people didn''t understand, they could see Mi Xiaojing''sbel and knew that this Spirit Pill was suitable for their cultivation level, which was enough.


    The price of the first middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill skyrocketed.


    Mi Xiaojing deliberately set a low price of 500 Spirit Stones. This price was a terrifyingly high price for low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. However, in the eyes of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, this price was not considered high, and in the eyes of Elemental Infant stage cultivators, it was too low.


    800 Spirit Stones!


    Hong Qing raised the price, adding 300 Spirit Stones, hoping to deter most cultivators.


    1,000 Spirit Stones!


    Chen Shouyi also raised the price. He was willing to do anything to obtain the Cultivating Essence Pill.


    Then the price went out of control.


    1,500! 1,800! 2,000!


    3,000 Spirit Stones!


    A price suddenly appeared. It was offered by Chen Shouyi, who directly set an extremely high price. He didn''t believe anyone couldpete with him in terms of wealth. As a Pill Master, he was the wealthiest in the Sword Heart Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing ced a middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill on the round tform. Once the transaction waspleted, the Cultivating Essence Pill would be sent away and the Spirit Stones would be sent over. He waited quietly, but he was also shocked. A middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill had reached 3,000 Spirit Stones.


    Chen Shouyi''s tactic was sessful because everyone wanted topete for the three middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pills. If they couldn''t buy this one, they wouldpete for the next one. But no one expected that Chen Shouyi nned to obtain all three middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pills. He had plenty of Spirit Stones, but there were only three Cultivating Essence Pills. As a Pill Master, he knew how precious these three pills were.


    When the number of Spirit Stones reached a certain level, it became just a number. For Chen Shouyi, the Spirit Stones were not important. What was important was the Cultivating Essence Pill, this legendary Spirit Pill. He spected that the Cultivating Essence Pill that came out this time was most likely obtained by another cultivator from some ancient ruins. It shouldn''t have been refined by a Pill Master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    When Chen Shouyi received the middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill and carefully examined it, he couldn''t help but praise it. The quality of this Cultivating Essence Pill was excellent, with faint pill patterns appearing. In his opinion, this Cultivating Essence Pill was almostparable to a higher-grade pill. 3,000 Spirit Stones was truly a great deal.


    The second middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill was bid up to 5,000 Spirit Stones. This time, it was also Chen Shouyi who raised the price, directly increasing it from 3,000 Spirit Stones to 5,000 Spirit Stones. Amidst the shock of everyone, the transaction was sessful. Almost all cultivators were pounding their chests and stamping their feet, as there was only one middle-grade Cultivating Essence Pill left.


    Everyone was rummaging through their storage bags. No matter what, they had to snatch thest Cultivating Essence Pill!


    Suddenly, Azure Descent Immortal Maiden made a move and scared everyone, including Chen Shouyi. She offered 10,000 lower-grade Spirit Stones, which was equivalent to 1,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones and 100 higher-grade Spirit Stones. Basically, ten lower-grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for one middle-grade Spirit Stone, and ten middle-grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for one higher-grade Spirit Stone.


    However, middle-grade and higher-grade Spirit Stones were scarce, so hardly anyone was willing to exchange them like this. Most people used lower-grade Spirit Stones for transactions because the higher the quality of the Spirit Stones, the higher the premium.


    When everyone saw the offer of 10,000 lower-grade Spirit Stones, no one dared to continue bidding. It was obvious that this was the offer made by the Yuan Ying Ancestor.


    After the Cultivating Essence Pill was sent away, a storage bag appeared on the round tform. Mi Xiaojing put the Spirit Stones into his own storage bag and then ced the bag on the round tform. In response, abel was sent.


    "It''s a gift for you!"


    Mi Xiaojing was very happy. He was in need of a storage bag, not for himself, but for Zhang Ke, who was responsible for his transactions and daily management. Zhang Ke needed a storage bag.


    "Thank you, senior!"


    Thebel was sent, and a faint smile appeared on Azure Descent Immortal Maiden''s cold face. She had made some arrangements on it. She just wanted to see who had sold the Cultivating Essence Pill.


    Wang Weijun said, "Use these two magical techniques to eliminate the tracking."


    "Huh? Tracking?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but say, "You fool, that''s the mark left by a Yuan Ying stage expert. If you take it out, you will be immediately discovered by that person."


    Mi Xiaojing broke out in a cold sweat. This person was really scheming. He immediately followed Wang Weijun''s instructions and used the two magical techniques. A faint green smoke appeared on the storage bag, instantly breaking the tracking mark.


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was surprised. She found that the mark she left behind had been eliminated. This immediately caught her attention. This was a mark left by a Yuan Ying stage expert. Who could eliminate it? ording to her thoughts, unless another Yuan Ying stage cultivator had arrived, it would be impossible to erase it.


    Of course, she couldn''t imagine that it was a former Fusion stage expert who was guiding them. The gap between her and Wang Weijun was much greater than the gap between Mi Xiaojing and her.


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden called a servant and whispered a few words to him. The servant respectfully agreed and left.

 Chapter 95: Highway robbery

    <h4>Chapter 95: Highway robbery</h4>


    With the purchase of 18,000 low-grade spirit stones, Mi Xiaojing instantly became a wealthy member of the Sword Heart Sect. Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could be considered the richest. Of course,pared to the Elemental Infant cultivators, he was still not considered wealthy.


    Mi Xiaojing began to buy various materials, talismans, and artifacts. The artifacts were not limited to magical swords; there were also many defensive artifacts. Once attacked, these artifacts would automatically activate. Such artifacts were quite popr in the cultivation world and were mainly used for defense against sneak attacks.


    Even though Mi Xiaojing made many purchases, he only spent a little over 3,000 spirit stones. In the cultivation world, spirit stones were a highly valuable currency with strong purchasing power.


    Mi Xiaojing''s main focus was on materials. He had a diverse appetite and pursued various materials for alchemy and refining tools. After experiencing the benefits of alchemy, he became even more interested in materials. Regardless of their usefulness, he would collect them first.


    This time, his harvest was great. The most important item he obtained was the Azure Descent Banner Formation. It consisted of seven minimum Elemental Infant stage spirit leaves, refined by an Elemental Infant Ancestor. Once deployed, this formation could even withstand attacks from experts in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages.


    This was the strongest defensive and offensive weapon that Mi Xiaojing had acquired, and it could be considered his trump card. The other items he obtained were also good. Based on the collected alchemy materials, he could refine two new types of spirit pills.


    The White Ze Pill could be used by both Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators. If it was a high-grade pill, even Elemental Infant stage cultivators could use it.


    Compared to the Cultivating Essence Pill, the main function of this pill was healing. It was not inferior to the Yin-Yang Pill in terms of healing effects. However, the Yin-Yang Pill was better for Elemental Infants, while the White Ze Pill had better healing effects. The two pills had different treatment directions.


    This pill was quitemon, not because it was bad, but because many cultivators could refine it. Even in the Sword Heart Sect, there were two people who could refine the White Ze Pill: Chen Shouyi and Mu Hengyuan. Chen Shouyi''s refinement was slightly better, as he could stably refine low-grade White Ze Pills, but there was no guarantee for middle-grade pills.


    The White Ze Pill was much more famous in the Sword Heart Sect than the Cultivating Essence Pill.


    There was another pill that could be used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. Mi Xiaojing happened to collect threeplete sets of materials for this pill. Although he couldn''t use it himself, this transaction made him realize that the truly wealthy people were the experts in the Elemental Infant stage.


    The things needed by Elemental Infant stage cultivators were the good stuff.


    This pill was called the Nurturing Infant Pill and was also an ancient pill form. It was possible that no one in the Sword Heart Sect knew about it. Even if Mi Xiaojing mentioned the name, he wouldn''t be able to find its origin. This was also an ancient pill form given by Wang Weijun. The old guy indeed had many good things in his possession.


    The trading event had not yet ended, but Mi Xiaojing left early with Wang Weijun''s reminder. Many people had already started to leave at this time.


    Mi Xiaojing secretly left. Each stone chamber had a path leading to the outside, allowing one to leave at any time. This trading venue was designed very cleverly, making it difficult to determine the identity of a specific person. Even the Elemental Infant stage Grand Elder, Immortal Maiden Biluo, would need to use certain methods to find a specific person.


    As soon as Mi Xiaojing reached the entrance of the cave, he flew out and quickly moved forward, diving into a nearby forest. He swiftly moved through the forest, discarding his mask and ck robe.


    A few minutester, Mi Xiaojing appeared on a small road. He changed into the attire of a Qi Refining stage disciple and took out a basket to collect some herbs. Then, he continued walking along the road.


    Wang Weijun kept praising, "Good, just like this. No matter what, being cautious is never wrong. It''s good to persist, even if no one is following you and it seems like a waste of effort." He remembered regretfully how he was beaten by a man and a woman to the point of near death. If he had seen those two again, he would have escaped immediately. He believed that he could escape.


    He didn''t fly along the way and instead walked back leisurely. The Sword Heart Sect in spring was full of blooming flowers, and Mi Xiaojing felt extremely happy walking this path. Coupled with obtaining so many good things, he felt a bit proud and lost in his own world.


    Suddenly, a person jumped out from the bushes ahead, blocking his path. The person looked Mi Xiaojing up and down, and then his eyes lit up, fixating on the storage bag hanging from Mi Xiaojing''s waist. He became excited.


    With a loud whistle, five or six people jumped out,ughing and joking. Mi Xiaojing noticed that they were all low-level disciples, with the highest cultivation level being Great Perfection in Qi Refining. It was obvious that this person was their leader.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly calmed down. If he was still at the Great Perfection in Qi Refining stage, he could fight against so many people, but the consequences were uncertain. Fortunately, he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage. Looking at these low-level disciples now was like looking at ordinary chickens and dogs.


    "What do you want?" Mi Xiaojing took a step back. The group of people approached him with smiles on their faces, and one of them said, "Kid, where are you from? Tell your big brother."


    "Yeah, look everyone, he actually has a storage bag! He''s richer than all of us."


    The leader rubbed his nose forcefully and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, saying, "Don''t scare the kid."


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    "Yeah! Yeah, don''t scare the kid, haha, hahaha!"


    Mi Xiaojing actually had a charming smile. In other words, he was quite handsome, giving people the impression of an honest child. His expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "What do you guys n to do?"


    The leader spat out another mouthful of phlegm and said, "No problem, no problem. We just want to be friends with you, haha, friends! Understand?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "I don''t understand."


    Someone shouted, "Boss, this kid is a bit stubborn. Should we teach him a lesson first?"


    The leader waved his hand and said, "Don''t always resort to violence. We should be kind to others. Do you understand? Understand! I have to say this."


    "Yes, yes, Boss. We should be kind, hehe, be kind."


    "Haha, you''re so funny. Go ask the kid to lend us some spirit stones. This storage bag is good. Let me borrow it for a few days."


    Everyoneughed and joked, and one of them reached out to grab the storage bag hanging from Mi Xiaojing''s waist.


    Mi Xiaojing''s face turned cold and he said, "Are you nning to rob me?"


    The leader repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, kid, you can''t use us like that. Where is the robbery? We just want to borrow your storage bag for fun. Haha, it''s not robbery. We can''t afford that usation, haha."


    As they were about to grab the storage bag, Mi Xiaojing''s expression turned cold and he said, "Is that so? Alright then!"

 Chapter 96: Counter-robbery

    <h4>Chapter 96: Counter-robbery</h4>


    A huge momentum suddenly surged out, and in an instant, the people approaching him froze. The difference between the Foundation Establishment cultivator and the Qi Refining cultivator was too great. The person in front of him was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, although he was tall and strong, he couldn''tpare to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t waste any words and punched the person in the face.


    In an instant, the person was sent flying and even crashed into another cultivator behind him. The two of them instantly became a mess. Mi Xiaojing quickly rushed out, he wasn''t polite at all, punching and kicking, beating them up. In just a few seconds, all these people were lying on the ground.


    When Mi Xiaojing released the unique pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage, these people were already scared. Robbing someone on the road and actually robbing a senior cultivator, they were asking for death. This group of people didn''t dare to resist, and even if they wanted to, they couldn''t. They didn''t dare to make a sound when they were beaten, enduring it.


    In addition to punching and kicking, Mi Xiaojing also lifted people up and smashed them. After smashing several people in a row, he finally caught his breath and asked, "Is it fun?"


    Mi Xiaojing had a bright and sunny smile on his face, but in the eyes of these people, it became a devilish smile. Unfortunately, he still looked good when he smiled, making these people want to cry but had no tears. If Mi Xiaojing had a fierce expression, they wouldn''t dare to rob him.


    "Not... not fun... not fun!"


    "Elder... elder, this isn''t fun... elder..."


    From being a kid to an elder, it only took a few minutes, and these guys were scared.


    Due to the influence of Evolutionary Immortality, Mi Xiaojing had a hard time being fierce. He didn''t know how to deal with these people who were beaten down. Should he kill them? He didn''t even think about it. Should he beat them again? He had already beaten them up, and beating them again wouldn''t make much of a difference.


    "We didn''t know you were an elder... we, we mistook you... sob."


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s smiling face, the leader of the group, who was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, was actually scared to tears.


    "Mistook me? Weren''t you nning to borrow my storage bag for a few days? Mistook me... and still want to borrow?"


    Mi Xiaojing spoke matter-of-factly, and his smile looked innocent, but in the eyes of these guys, it was chilling. Everyone knew that cultivators getting angry wasn''t scary, getting furious wasn''t scary either, but what was scary was someone who smiled while killing their opponents. These people were almost scared to death by Mi Xiaojing''s smile.


    Honestly, Mi Xiaojing wasn''t that kind of person. He didn''t know how cruel the cultivation world could be.


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyes wandered, and he was also at a loss for how to deal with these guys. But in the eyes of these people, they were really scared. In the Heart Sect, not to mention offending their elders, even disrespectfulnguage was not allowed. Let alone the fact that they dared to rob a senior cultivator. This immense pressure made people really copse, and they trembled as they looked at Mi Xiaojing.


    "Well, since you robbed me, thenpensate me! Take out everything you have on you!"


    This idea wasn''t Mi Xiaojing''s, it was Wang Weijun''s. Seeing that Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to do, Wang Weijun couldn''t sit still.


    Wang Weijun knew that Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t kill these people. He also knew that Mi Xiaojing wasn''t a ruthless person. If it were him, he would have killed these clueless guys long ago and burned their bodies with a fire. But robbing them in return, Mi Xiaojing probably wouldn''t object. Since Wang Weijun wanted Mi Xiaojing to integrate into the cultivation world, there were some things that had to be done.


    When these people heard Mi Xiaojing''s words, they rxed. They had saved their lives.


    They all knew that if Mi Xiaojing killed them without being discovered, it would be in vain. Even if he was discovered, Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t have much trouble, at most he would be punished a little. Unless they had a more powerful senior to speak up for them, and this person had to be stronger than Mi Xiaojing, but they really didn''t have such a senior. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have resorted to robbing.


    To Mi Xiaojing''s surprise, he found a storage bag on the leader''s body. This thing was quite rare among low-level disciples. In this storage bag, Mi Xiaojing found many spirit stones, about three hundred low-grade spirit stones, as well as many materials, mostly for alchemy.


    Mi Xiaojing was really poor, so once he started robbing, everything was good. He looked at these people with wide eyes, and he was even more ruthless than them. He was only one step away from stripping them naked. Even the low-level talismans on their bodies were swept away by Mi Xiaojing. He didn''t need them, but Zhang Ke and the others could use them.


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing found that there was nothing else to rob. If he continued, he would have to strip their clothes off. Fortunately, he still had this bottom line. He smiled and asked, "Is it fun?"


    "Fun, fun, hehe, fun..."


    A group of people had been robbed, but they still had smiling faces. Mi Xiaojing really felt that it was fun.


    "Do you want to continue ying in the future?"


    "No, no more, don''t want to y anymore..."


    "Why not continue such a fun thing? Haha, let''s continue in the future!"


    Mi Xiaojingughed heartily and left. He suddenly felt a bit evil. Why was he so happy about robbing? After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and smiled, then flew into the sky in an instant.


    Those who had just gotten up saw Mi Xiaojing turn around and smile, and they were scared to sit back down. Did he have to scare people like that?


    Feeling happy, Mi Xiaojing returned to his small courtyard andnded from the sky.


    Mu Xiaoyin was tidying up the clothes that were drying and smiled when she saw Mi Xiaojingnd from the sky. She asked, "Can you participate in the high-level trading meeting? What did you gain?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Everyonee over, I got a lot of good things this time."


    Mu Xiaoyin shouted, and Zhang Ke and the others ran out of the room.


    There was a round stone table in the courtyard, and everyone sat around it. Mi Xiaojing took out three magical swords and ced them on the stone table.


    Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu''s eyes lit up. They knew that these were the magical swords Mi Xiaojing was giving them.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Three magical swords, each of you choose one. From now on, everyone will have their own magical sword..."


    Zhang Ke said, "Junior Martial Uncle, you should distribute them. I don''t know which magical sword is suitable for me." He didn''t say which magical sword was better, but which one was more suitable for him, revealing his simple and honest nature.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "What''s suitable for you is the best." He quickly distributed the swords. These magical swords were only temporary, and once they advanced in strength, he would find a way to get them better ones.


    Luo Bo hugged the magical sword and didn''t let go. This was his first magical sword and the first time he had his own weapon. He had an extremely excited smile on his face.


    Wei Fu was also smiling from ear to ear.


    Only Zhang Ke was fine. After all, he was older and had been in the Western Expansion Sect for so long. His worldview had already formed, and he wasn''t particrly interested in fighting and killing. So when he got the magical sword, he wasn''t particrly excited. Of course, he was still happy. With a weapon, he at least had some self-defense power, although this kind of ability was really nothing in the cultivation world.


    Mu Xiaoyin felt a bit disappointed. After all, she wasn''t a cultivator but an evolutionary immortal. Evolutionary immortals had never used magical swords.

 Chapter 97: Divide the spoils

    <h4>Chapter 97: Divide the spoils</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing took out a thick stack of talismans. These were all low-level talismans, which were quite good for defense and attack. They could save his true energy andunch attacks quickly in emergencies.


    Then there were various small magical tools, such as jade ques for active defense. Mu Xiaoyin also received two small magical tools this time, which made her very happy. She didn''t care what she got as long as Mi Xiaojing thought of her, which made her no longer feel lost.


    Mi Xiaojing then took out a storage bag. This time, he received two storage bags in total. One was used to hold spirit stones when he traded with the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, and the other was robbed from a cultivator, but he ended up being robbed back.


    He handed one of them to Zhang Ke and said, "This is for you."


    Zhang Ke rubbed his eyes and couldn''t believe it. "A storage bag?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it''s a storage bag. I unexpectedly obtained it. You can use it."


    Zhang Ke was amazed and opened his mouth wide. This was too exaggerated. He eximed, "Wow, wow, this is amazing! I''ve wanted a storage bag for a long time. It''s really inconvenient without one. Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle."


    Mu Xiaoyin looked at them with envy. She also wanted a storage bag, but she understood that Zhang Ke was the one who managed the entire household and needed it the most. So she just silently watched, feeling extremely envious.


    Mi Xiaojing took out another storage bag and handed it to Mu Xiaoyin, smiling. "Junior Martial Sister, this is for you."


    Mu Xiaoyin''s reaction was the same as Zhang Ke''s. She stared in astonishment for a while and said, "Junior Martial Brother, where did you get so many storage bags? Did you rob them?" She casually mentioned it, hitting the nail on the head. Storage bags were indeed obtained through robbery.


    Mi Xiaojing felt embarrassed and said, "Uh, yes, I robbed them."


    Mu Xiaoyin giggled and shook her head. "You always lie to me."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless. It was the truth!


    Mu Xiaoyin happily took the storage bag and smiled, "I don''t care where you got it from. As long as you give it to me, it''s mine. I just wanted a storage bag."


    Luo Bo smiled and asked, "Can Sister use it?"


    Mu Xiaoyin widened her eyes and patted Luo Bo''s head forcefully. "Kid, what do you know? Of course, I can!" As she spoke, she pped the storage bag, but her expression changed. She had no true energy, so she couldn''t open the storage bag.


    "Ah? Ah! Ah! It really won''t open!"


    Mu Xiaoyin was extremely disappointed, her face turning pale. How could this happen!


    Mi Xiaojing said, "You can use a true incantation to open it, just one character."


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Open!" Then she jumped up and eximed, "Wow, wow, wow! It opened, it really opened, haha!" She burst into uncontrobleughter.


    She was truly overjoyed because she had always been unable to cultivate. Mu Xiaoyin had a bit of inferiorityplex until she started her evolutionary cultivation, which gradually improved her situation. This time, she was almost discouraged again, but thanks to Mi Xiaojing''s guidance, she was saved.


    In fact, evolutionary cultivation and cultivation had simrities. The only difference was that cultivation had more methods and techniques, while evolutionary cultivation focused on true incantations as the main path. Of course, after deepening one''s cultivation level, there were other methods and more advanced techniques in evolutionary cultivation. However, how many evolutionary cultivators could smoothly advance to higher levels?


    Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t put down the storage bag. For her, the storage bag not only served as a ce to store things but also represented a qualification and a symbol of status.


    Mi Xiaojing was very happy. He took out a pile of spirit stones to distribute. Regardless of anything, spirit stones were the hard currency in the cultivation world. They were indispensable for exchanging materials or weapons and for personal cultivation.


    After giving out the items, Mi Xiaojing returned to the stone cave and went down to the second floor. This ce was his dedicated cultivation and refining area, as well as the ce where he studied the newly obtained banner formation.


    The Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation, with seven elemental leaves!


    Once he mastered this, Mi Xiaojing would have an extra trump card.


    Mi Xiaojing had never seen such an exquisite banner formation before. At first nce, it looked like freshly plucked tender branches from a tree, and the leaves seemed to be still moist with dew. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these were all illusions. Both the branches and leaves were densely covered with countless spirit scripts.


    Extremely delicate wood spirit scripts formed the patterns of the branches and leaves themselves. Once formed, the wood spirit scripts were full of vitality, appearing lush and verdant. It was not surprising at all.


    The seven elemental leaves of the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation were intact, but Mi Xiaojing did not have the corresponding magical techniques and incantations. He needed Wang Weijun to decipher them. Fortunately, Wang Weijun had extensive knowledge and, after careful observation and several trials by Mi Xiaojing, they found the suitable incantations and techniques.


    This was mainly based on their understanding of the wood spirit scripts. Once they knew how the wood spirit scripts were arranged, they could deduce the formation formed by the wood spirit scripts. Generally, there would be no problem in deciphering it.


    It sounded simple, but even if someone who didn''t understand or know how to do it obtained this banner formation, they would be helpless. Just like the previous owner, even though he was already a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was still clueless.


    He made a strange wooden box as the activation array disk, which not only added unnecessaryplexity but also hindered the true power of the banner formation. In the end, it became useless and was directly traded away, thinking that he had taken advantage of it.


    With Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mi Xiaojing gradually refined the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation andpletely mastered it. Unfortunately, his strength was rtively weak. ording to Wang Weijun, if Mi Xiaojing had the strength of the Elemental Infant stage, he could definitely refine it again and increase the power of the entire banner formation by more than double.


    Now that Mi Xiaojing could control this banner formation, it was already quite abnormal. It must be known that this was a banner formation used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. With Mi Xiaojing''s Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, he originally had no chance of obtaining such a treasure.


    Thanks to Wang Weijun''s guidance and his own good luck, he obtained such a powerful weapon.


    ording to Wang Weijun, with this formation, he didn''t need to fear even Foundation Establishment stage experts and could withstand attacks from Elemental Infant stage experts. Of course, he needed time to deploy it, or else he would be killed instantly.


    From being captured by the Western Expansion Sect to joining the Sword Heart Sect, from being an extremely kind little evolutionary cultivator to bing an entry-level cultivator, Mi Xiaojing''s personality was gradually changing. His kindness had been worn away by the cruel world, and he was bing more assertive.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I want to try this Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation. Have Ipletely mastered it now?"


    "Don''t test it outside, just do it here. The space here isrge enough, and the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation doesn''t care about the size of the space. It can be tested anywhere."

 Chapter 98: The Might of the Banner Formation

    <h4>Chapter 98: The Might of the Banner Formation</h4>


    Wang Weijun pointed out a sentence.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately became excited. He was really curious about formations and liked them very much. Especially thest time the entire sect''s sword formation was activated, it was truly earth-shattering. That scene was unforgettable for a lifetime.


    Therefore, Mi Xiaojing had high hopes for formations, especially after obtaining this precious Green Wood Formation. He felt like he had a trump card.


    The original wooden box was preserved, but it was transformed from an array disk into a simple wooden box used to hold seven Green Wood gs.


    With a hand gesture and an incantation, the seven Green Wood gs turned into seven green rays of light, shooting in all directions in an instant. The entire underground cave immediately shimmered with dazzling green light. Mi Xiaojing''s whole body was covered in green, which was reflected by the green light. The surrounding stone walls were also illuminated into emerald green.


    Mi Xiaojing felt like he was standing under the shade of a tree. The green color was not just pure green, but also shades of light green, deep green, olive green, and dark green, all intermingling. It was like a person swaying in a green ocean, full of vitality and rejuvenation.


    Silently, Mi Xiaojing noticed that the surroundings hadpletely changed.


    What a beautiful forest!


    This was Mi Xiaojing''s first impression. Then he realized that this forest carried a strong threat, an indescribable feeling. Fortunately, it was the Green Wood Formation he activated. If it was someone else, this threat alone would be enough to make them copse. It was terrifying.


    Mi Xiaojing stood still and dared not move, even though he activated the Green Wood Formation himself. The threat was too great. Actually, it was not surprising because he didn''t have much understanding of formations and needed some time to adapt.


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing discovered that this forest was abnormal. There were no bird songs, no animal roars, no wind, and no sound. It was eerily silent.


    Using a protective incantation, Mi Xiaojing took a step forward.


    Just one step, and the whole world changed.


    All the leaves turned yellow and fell. The falling leaves turned into madly swirling des, but when these falling leaves reached Mi Xiaojing, they would slide to the side.


    With just one step, Mi Xiaojing felt his heart trembling with fear. His whole body was filled with killing intent, which prated his bones.


    Wang Weijun scolded, "Idiot, it can''t hurt you!"


    With courage, Mi Xiaojing took another step, further activating the Green Wood Formation.


    All the leaves fell, leaving behind tree branches. All the branches turned into a sky full of sword rain, sweeping through like a fierce wind and rain. The sharp whistling sound made it impossible for anyone to catch their breath.


    Mi Xiaojing stopped again. His eyes were filled with sword shadows and passing green light, which was both frightening and exciting. The more powerful the Green Wood Formation, the happier he was.


    Wang Weijun shouted, "Idiot, idiot, move faster! You need to fully unleash the power of the formation to understand its changes and know when to use it. Keep going!"


    However, Mi Xiaojing did not continue moving forward. Instead, he recited an incantation to enhance the formation and activate various functions of the formation.


    Boom!


    In an instant, all the trees turned into green pirs, and the sky and earth suddenly disappeared. Mi Xiaojing was suspended in the formation, which meant that the formation was three-dimensional at this moment, epassing the sky, the ground, and all directions. It was filled withyers of green wood, and if one looked at it for too long, they would start to feel dizzy.


    Mi Xiaojing then activated the next step.


    The green pirs began to collide with each other, creating explosive sounds that reverberated through the sky. Of course, this was limited to within the Green Wood Formation, and no sound could be heard outside.


    The tremendous impact shook Mi Xiaojing''s whole body, but he tried to remain calm and recited the next incantation.


    An astonishing scene unfolded. With the collision and friction of the green wood, sparks burst forth inrge patches. In just a few moments, they ignited and burned fiercely. Wood was on fire!


    The mes were not red, but green, which looked very strange. Layer afteryer of burning green wood formed countless waves, up and down, left and right, allposed of green mes. However, when these mes surged towards Mi Xiaojing, they quickly dissipated as if crashing against a reef, leaving no trace of fire near him.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. This was truly spectacr.


    He recited the next incantation.


    Golden des of light emerged from the mes. Fire turned into gold!


    The mes gradually transformed into golden des of light, raging within the formation. The sound of breaking through the air was soul-stirring, and the howling made one''s soul tremble. Mi Xiaojing pondered that if he were trapped in such a formation, he would bepletely defenseless. In an instant, he would turn into minced meat and blood, or perhaps there would be nothing left at all.


    It was too brutal!


    The Azure Green Wood Banner Formation!


    This was the Azure Green Wood Banner Formation that Mi Xiaojing obtained, a formation that was both abnormal and mysterious. It was a wood attribute formation that could generate fire and gold.


    He repeatedly activated the formation, testing various functions and attacks, and then explored the coordination and mysteries within it. With Wang Weijun''s guidance, he discovered many special attackbinations, from all-epassing attacks to localized attacks. Once trapped in the formation, Mi Xiaojing became a king, able to guide the world and manipte those trapped within the formation, making them wish for death.


    However, when Mi Xiaojing finished using the Green Wood Formation and began replenishing its energy with spirit stones, he trembled in his heart.


    Eight hundred and sixty low-grade spirit stones were the cost of his experimentation just now.


    This feeling of burning money and spirit stones made Mi Xiaojing feel extremely sour. He really couldn''t bear it.


    "Why do I need so many spirit stones for replenishment? It''s too much!"


    "Nonsense, this formation is not a spiritual treasure. If it were, it could automatically absorb and replenish itself. As a top-grade magical tool, you can only use spirit stones for replenishment. This is still considered good. Inside the Green Wood Formation, if you trap a powerful cultivator, the consumption would be even greater!"


    "Wow, it''s not about not having money. Without spirit stones, wouldn''t the Green Wood Formation be useless?"


    "It won''t be useless. If there is no absorption of spirit stones, the Green Wood Formation can slowly recover. It''s just that the speed would be unbearable for you. Moreover, without the replenishment of spirit stones, the power of this formation will decrease. With full power, it can trap a Nascent Soul stage expert, but without full power, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can easily break free. At that time, it will be your death."


    "But these are more than eight hundred low-grade spirit stones!"


    "What''s the big deal about these spirit stones? Just refine a few more pills, and you''ll have everything. Stingy! Miser!"


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless. He was used to being poor, and suddenly spending such arge sum of spirit stones, especially for his own experimental consumption, was truly heart-wrenching.


    "It''s not about being stingy. I just feel like it''s not worth it!"


    "There''s nothing not worth it. Are you going to wait until the enemy enters the formation before you start testing? That''s unreasonable!"


    Thinking about what Wang Weijun said, Mi Xiaojing finally let go.


    "Okay, okay, I''ve spent it, so be it. I''ll work hard to earn spirit stones in the future! Otherwise, I won''t dare to activate the Green Wood Formation anymore."


    Thanks to the support and rewards from readers such as "Not Lonely Reader," "Fei Wu," "Lian Paihuai," and others who are no longer lonely readers.

 Chapter 99: Perceive

    <h4>Chapter 99: Perceive</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent was floating in the air, looking at the small courtyard where he was. A hint of surprise appeared on her cold face as she asked the person beside her, "Is Mi Xiaojing your disciple?"


    The person beside her was Chen Shouyi from Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    "Master Uncle, he is not my disciple. However, this child''s cultivation speed is incredibly fast. In less than half a year since he arrived here, he has advanced from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. He was brought here from Western Expansion Sect. We never expected his talent to be so good."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent was shocked by this. She had never seen such a fast cultivation speed in Heart Sect. "Are you saying that he started cultivating after entering Heart Sect? Did you not give him any resources?"


    Chen Shouyi replied, "I didn''t ask much, but he is very talented in alchemy. He has already be a Pill Master in our Grass-Benevolence Hall, and his sess rate in refining pills is quite high."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent was amazed. This child was a genius! She suddenly understood that Mi Xiaojing was the one who refined the Cultivating Essence Pill. He must have been cautious and never made a move until the trading fair. This child was a mystery!


    "Shouyi, can you refine the Cultivating Essence Pill?"


    Chen Shouyi was taken aback and said, "Master Uncle, I really can''t. The Cultivating Essence Pills at this trading fair were not refined by me. They were probably obtained by some expert in a certain ruin."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said meaningfully, "I see, interesting." In fact, she already had a definite answer in her heart. It was very likely that Mi Xiaojing had refined the Cultivating Essence Pill, but she didn''t say it out loud.


    Chen Shouyi was puzzled and said, "Is it possible that Mi Xiaojing obtained the Cultivating Essence Pill? But since he arrived at Heart Sect, he has never left!" He had never thought that Mi Xiaojing could refine the Cultivating Essence Pill. In his opinion, it was impossible for a Foundation Establishment stage disciple to refine such an ancient and powerful pill. It was simply a joke.


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea that he had caught the attention of an Elemental Infant Ancestor. He was still pondering over the Green Wood g. Its power was too great, and he needed time to gradually master it until he hadplete control.


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said lightly, "Pay close attention to this child. If he advances to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage quickly, report it to me immediately."


    Chen Shouyi respectfully said, "Yes."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent continued, "You can appropriately allocate sect resources to him. Is he already an inner disciple?"


    Chen Shouyi replied, "After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, he became an inner disciple."


    "Very well, don''t rm him for now. Let him develop on his own. If he is worth cultivating, bring him to me."


    Chen Shouyi was surprised. Mi Xiaojing had caught the attention of an Elemental Infant Ancestor. His future was limitless. He said, "Yes, I will keep an eye on him."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent added, "Also, assign sect missions to him. Remember, I am well aware of the bad habits of Grass-Benevolence Hall. Don''t exploit him and cause his resentment!"


    Chen Shouyi was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes, I won''t dare to, I won''t dare to."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent continued, "In addition, give him a sect mission to refine a batch of Cultivating Essence Pills. The sect will provide the materials. Let him make a list, and for each Cultivating Essence Pill he delivers, he will be rewarded with two hundred spirit stones. Grass-Benevolence Hall is not allowed to withhold any of them. Also, you are not allowed to ask him for the pill form or refining techniques."


    Chen Shouyi was dumbfounded and asked, "What? Master Uncle, he can refine the Cultivating Essence Pill?"


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Don''t worry about that. Just assign the sect mission."


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t understand when Mi Xiaojing had be capable of refining such high-level pills. How was he, a Pill Master, supposed to handle this? But he dared not disobey the words of the Elemental Infant Ancestor. In Heart Sect, the words of the Elemental Infant Ancestor were absolute. Only those who wanted to die would dare to refute the Elemental Infant Ancestor.


    "Yes, yes, I will personally assign the sect mission."


    "You don''t need to go. Let Guan Shangli go. You go and don''t scare the child."


    Chen Shouyi could already sense the importance the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent attached to Mi Xiaojing. He also realized that the continuous failures in refining the Loss and Gain Pill had disappointed the higher-ups of the sect. They should be looking for more potential alchemists, which gave him a sense of crisis.


    "Yes, Master Uncle."


    Chen Shouyi felt helpless. Mi Xiaojing had given him a great sense of crisis. As a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he instinctively wanted to suppress Mi Xiaojing.


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent seemed to see through him. Her gaze turned cold as she warned him. The warning was clear, and Chen Shouyi broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his gaze.


    With a swoosh, Chen Shouyi looked up again and found that the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent had disappeared without a trace.


    Chen Shouyi stared at the courtyard below. He knew that Mu Xiaoyin had been following Mi Xiaojing all along. After a while, a smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "Interesting, very interesting. He really hides it well. Good, very good!" He turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the air.


    Guan Shangli entered the small courtyard with a sect order in his hand. He was extremely shocked. This was a sect order, which meant it was amand from the sect elder, an order from the Elemental Infant Ancestor. He couldn''t understand why the sect elder would pay attention to Mi Xiaojing.


    The sect order was a sound-transmitting jade que. Once it was crushed, a voice woulde out. It was a disposable sound-transmitting tool that was notmonly seen. Only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above could refine it. Qi Refining stage cultivators couldn''t refine it.


    Mi Xiaojing was called out, feeling a bit confused. He asked, "Senior Brother Guan, what''s the matter?"


    Guan Shangli smiled and said, "Junior Brother, do you know any Ancestor? How did you receive a sect order?" He handed the jade que to Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled and said, "What sect order? What Ancestor? I have no idea."


    Guan Shangli said, "You''ll know when you crush the jade que. This is a sect order sent by the sect. It is the highestmand of our Heart Sect."


    Mi Xiaojing crushed the jade que, and suddenly a cold and icy voice sounded in his mind. Mi Xiaojing''s face changed drastically. Refining Cultivating Essence Pills? He was disheartened to realize that he stillcked experience. It was such a ridiculous thing to try to hide his identity in Heart Sect. After the trading fair, he had already be a target.


    Cold sweat broke out, and the voice that came after crushing the jade que could only be heard by the one who crushed it. Guan Shangli didn''t know the content of the sect order.


    Guan Shangli asked, "Junior Brother, what''s themand?" He was extremely curious and couldn''t help but ask, even though it was against the rules. He was not allowed to inquire about the content.


    Here, I would like to thank Tianya Langzi Jun for the support! I can see everyone''s support all the way, thank you!


    By the way, let me exin the confusion of the readers:


    The normal generation and restriction of the Five Elements, as we understand it now, are as follows:


    Generation: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood.


    Restriction: Wood restricts Earth, Earth restricts Water, Water restricts Fire, Fire restricts Metal, Metal restricts Wood.


    The Green Wood Formation in the book has its own unique generation and restriction changes. Well, it''s a bit unreasonable and a bit of a stretch to exin it like this, but you understand.

 Chapter 100: Seize the opportunity

    <h4>Chapter 100: Seize the opportunity</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing simply didn''t want to exin and said, "It''s nothing, just an alchemy task."


    Guan Shangli was still shocked. The sect''s order was just for Mi Xiaojing to refine pills? What a joke! But he didn''t dare to continue asking and said, "Then I''ll take my leave."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and watched him fly away before sitting down at the stone table and discussing with Wang Weijun.


    "They found out that I refined the Cultivating Essence Pill. The sect requires me toplete the task and submit a certain amount of Cultivating Essence Pills. What do you think? I''m curious, how did they know it was me who sold the pills?"


    "They don''t not know, they''re just pretending not to know. With your Foundation Establishment cultivation level, you can''tpletely conceal it. It''s not strange that they found you. Since they ordered you to refine pills, then just do it. There''s nothing special about it. Even Elemental Infant stage cultivators can use Cultivating Essence Pills, so of course they would pay attention."


    .


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly.


    "Regardless, they just issued a sect order, they''re not forcing me to refine pills."


    "Don''t dream. This is forcing you to refine pills. You can''t exin it, hehe. You''re lucky. They must have seen your potential. Otherwise, you would be in a miserable state. It''s probably one of the Elemental Infant stage ancestors in the sect who took an interest in you. Consider yourself lucky to have escaped. If the people from Grass-Benevolence Hall had discovered you from the beginning, ha, you would truly be in a miserable state."


    After all, Mi Xiaojing was still young andcked experience. He had just turned fourteen years old. To be precise, he was still a child. Before entering the Western Expansion Sect, he was an innocent child who knew nothing about the cruelty of the world and the deceitfulness of people''s hearts. But in Wang Weijun''s eyes, all of this was insignificant. He could see through everything at a nce.


    "Alright then, I''ll refine pills. Regardless, if I want to survive here, I still need to adapt and work hard. Should I hide my alchemy skills a bit?"


    "No need, just show them. You can make a list, and I''ll give you some pill forms that can be used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. Even if you refine low-grade pills, you can still showcase yourself well. Remember, when you can''t be low-key, try to be high-profile."


    "They want to see your potential, so show them your strength! Only then will they truly value you. Once the higher-ups in the sect value you, although others may be jealous, they won''t easily offend you or suppress you. You must take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the influence of the Elemental Infant stage ancestor in the sect. Do you understand?"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What do you mean? Take advantage? How?"


    "You don''t need to understand, just do as I say!"


    Wang Weijun was very pleased in his heart. He wanted Mi Xiaojing to blindly follow him. Of course, everything he said and did now was for Mi Xiaojing''s own good, there was no doubt about it. In order to gain Mi Xiaojing''s true trust, he had to consider him. Once time passed, the little guy would definitely understand the benefits.


    This kind of subtle influence was truly powerful. Even if Mi Xiaojing was an adult, he might not be able to resist it, let alone the fact that he was still a child. Whether it was experience or knowledge, there was a huge gap between him and Wang Weijun.


    "Alright, I''ll listen to you!"


    Wang Weijun silentlyughed in his heart.


    Once Mi Xiaojing entered the sight of the sect''s elders, his status would bepletely different. In the sect, any small piece of news spread quickly. Mi Xiaojing instantly became the most popr person in the entire sect. Because he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, this caused a great sensation among the mid-level cultivators in the sect.


    There were many rumors, almost all of them focused on Mi Xiaojing being a hidden master alchemist. They said that he could refine Foundation Establishment Pills and Cultivating Essence Pills, which was rare for someone who became a master alchemist through their own efforts.


    In the Sword Heart Sect, alchemists were in short supply. Suddenly, there was one who could refine pills at the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages. There were even rumors that he could refine Elemental Infant stage Spirit Pills. Naturally, this caused a sensation.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t stay in his small courtyard anymore. Cultivators kepting to visit, and their intentions were clear. They hoped to obtain some kind of Spirit Pill from him. Mi Xiaojing was overwhelmed and had no choice but to move to the pill room.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing had a decent pill room, second only to Chen Shouyi''s best pill room. This was a benefit given by the sect, and it was also equipped with many pill servants. Of course, Mi Xiaojing didn''t want them. He didn''t want to be apanied by a group of strangers, and he didn''t want others to see how he refined pills.


    The sect sent arge amount of pill refining materials and set the task for submission.


    Mi Xiaojing had a very high sess rate in pill refining. With such a task for submission, he was making a huge profit.


    In the pill room, Mi Xiaojing stayed for about twenty days and refined ten batches of Cultivating Essence Pills and three batches of Foundation Establishment Pills. The Foundation Establishment Pills were not for task submission, but for Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu. With his current strength, all three batches of pills were sessful, and he received a total of four high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and five medium-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.


    Among them, the five medium-grade and one high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were used for trading by Mi Xiaojing. The other three high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were specifically left for Zhang Ke and the others. When they reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, the Foundation Establishment Pills would allow them to embark on the true path of cultivation.


    One hero has three helpers. Mi Xiaojing understood this principle.


    To improve his strength, relying on himself alone was not enough. If he could raise the strength of Zhang Ke and the others, that would be truly formidable. So Mi Xiaojing thought very clearly. As long as it was possible, he would prepare more resources. In the cultivation world, those who possessed arge amount of resources could steadily advance.


    Mi Xiaojing''s pill refining was a means of umting resources. In the cultivation world, those who had a unique skill always lived afortable life. However, this unique skill was not easily obtained. Unlike Mi Xiaojing, who easily obtained the inheritance of a super expert, such good fortune was truly rare in the cultivation world.


    Mi Xiaojing also sessfully refined the White Zeal Pill and the Nurturing Infant Pill. The White Zeal Pill was nothing special, but the Nurturing Infant Pill was an excellent Spirit Pill. However, with Mi Xiaojing''s level, he only managed to refine one medium-grade Nurturing Infant Pill and four low-grade Nurturing Infant Pills. This was already beyond Mi Xiaojing''s expectations.


    These two types of pills were more difficult for Mi Xiaojing to refine. After all, they were Spirit Pills used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. For him, it was like a child lifting a weight far beyond their own. Even if his skills were good, it was still too difficult. Even Wang Weijun had nothing to say about these results. He could only secretly admire Mi Xiaojing''s abnormal talent.


    Thanks to the support and rewards from readers such as Le Jun, Magic Elf, and Wandering Son!

 Chapter 101: Meet with senior management

    <h4>Chapter 101: Meet with senior management</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was in the alchemy room, where he would either refine pills or cultivate tirelessly, striving to improve his strength. During his cultivation, he would also consume the Cultivating Essence Pill.


    In fact, the effect of the Cultivating Essence Pill on him was average, mainly because he absorbed the power of starlight instead of spiritual qi. Spiritual qi only served as auxiliary strength.


    Alchemy was a form of rest, while true work was cultivation. During this period, Mi Xiaojing would sleep for one or two hours, almost equivalent to not sleeping at all. In just over twenty days, he not only obtained many spirit pills but also made a small advancement in his cultivation level.


    After storing the pills and putting away the pill furnace, Mi Xiaojing left the alchemy room. As soon as he walked out, he saw Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli waiting at the door.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojinge out, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. He didn''t expect a Foundation Establishment Ancestor and a Grass-Benevolence Hall steward to be waiting outside.


    "Follow me!"


    Chen Shouyi''s expression was clearly not good, and Guan Shangli kept smiling bitterly. He gestured for Mi Xiaojing to follow.


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled, but since Chen Shouyi didn''t speak, he didn''t dare to ask. He could only follow silently, not knowing where he was being taken. He felt a little nervous.


    After leaving the alchemy cave, Chen Shouyi remained silent and flew directly on his sword.


    Guan Shangli also followed suit.


    "Keep up!"


    Mi Xiaojing had to release his Thunder Strike Dagger and fly up with them.


    As they flew, Mi Xiaojing realized that they were heading towards the main peak. He suddenly understood that they were probably going to meet the Elemental Infant Ancestor of the Sword Heart Sect, the true high-level figures of the sect, equivalent to the Sect Leader and the Great Elder.


    "It seems like we''re going to meet the Sect Ancestor. What should I do?"


    Mi Xiaojing already had a certain reliance on Wang Weijun. He knew he had to discuss this kind of thing with him.


    "Fool, this is a good thing. You can refine pills, which is what they value the most. Don''t worry about anything else."


    "Are you sure nothing will happen?"


    "I guarantee you''ll be fine. Be bold and do whatever you need to do. Remember, don''t say anything unnecessary. If you can''t answer, pretend to be ignorant. Got it?"


    "Okay, I understand."


    Mi Xiaojing was still very honest by nature, but under Wang Weijun''s guidance, he gradually became less honest. He wasn''t stupid and was actually quite clever. The only thing hecked was experience.


    The three of them flew quickly. If they were walking, it would take about two days to reach the main peak, which was one of the nine peaks of the Sword Heart Sect. This ce was the sect''s important location and where the high-level members of the Sword Heart Sect resided.


    Mi Xiaojingnded with Chen Shouyi and immediately noticed the difference. The spiritual qi here was extremely dense, and there was a certain formation that locked in the spiritual qi on the mountain, preventing it from leaking out.


    The spiritual qi here was even more abundant than in the cave behind Mi Xiaojing''s backyard. It was alreadyparable to the state when the Gathering Spirit Array was activated.


    However, Mi Xiaojing no longer envied it. He didn''t need spiritual qi; he needed starlight. Starlight was everywhere, and even if there was no spiritual qi here, it wouldn''t affect his cultivation. This was the most powerful aspect of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art. This cultivation technique was suitable for cultivators who liked to travel between variouss.


    It should be noted that there were ces that were not suitable for cultivators to go, but for cultivators who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, they could go anywhere in the universe. For those who cultivated this technique, as long as they were in the cosmic starry sky, they would neverck a source of power. This was an extremely advanced cultivation technique and system.


    As they walked up the mountain path, Mi Xiaojing noticed a light drizzle falling. He was surprised to find that it was a misty rain condensed from spiritual qi. It was quite luxurious, and Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli were breathing rhythmically, indicating that they were in a state of cultivation. The speed at which the two of them walked became very slow.


    Mi Xiaojing looked on in astonishment. It seemed that Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli didn''t often have the opportunity to enter this ce, otherwise, they wouldn''t have such behavior.


    Although the two of them were not walking fast, they eventually arrived at the main hall of the Sword Heart Sect. There were no guards here, nor were there servants wandering around. The surroundings were unusually quiet, and there were almost no figures to be seen.


    The Sect Master''s hall was spacious. When they stepped into the hall, Wang Weijun said, "This ce is good. There are so many protective formations. Hmm, the person who set up these formations is quite powerful."


    Mi Xiaojing had always known that Wang Weijun had a high opinion of himself. Since he could praise it, it proved that the formations here were indeed extraordinary.


    These formations were not set up by the current Sect Ancestor but by a famous expert in the history of the Sword Heart Sect.


    This person had reached the Nascent Soul stage in the past, but after a great battle, hepletely disappeared. It was unknown whether he was seriously injured or had been reincarnated. Generally speaking, it was extremely difficult for cultivators in the Cultivation World to die after reaching the Elemental Infant stage. They had countless means to survive.


    Even a few cultivators could take this opportunity to be Loose Immortals. It should be noted that for cultivators who wanted to reach the Mahayana stage, ovee the Heavenly Tribtion, and ascend to the Immortal World, it was an extremely difficult task. Many high-level cultivators either became Loose Immortals or reincarnated. If all else failed, they could even cultivate demons, ghosts, or even demons.


    This kind of Nascent Soul expert was already a great power in the eyes of cultivators. The formations he set up were not surprising, but they were still appreciated by Wang Weijun. However, it was only appreciation. His strength was one realm higher than the most powerful ancestor in the history of the Sword Heart Sect. He had once reached the Unity stage, a super powerful expert.


    There were three people sitting in the main hall. Chen Shouyi was directly frightened, except for the Elemental Infant Ancestor Yu Hong, everyone else was present. Sect Master Mo Chentian, Great Elder Mu Hengyuan, and the only female Great Elder, Immortal Maiden Biliu, were all sitting on rush cushions with their eyes closed, cultivating.


    Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli didn''t dare to breathe heavily and walked up cautiously. They silently saluted and stood to the side. Mi Xiaojing followed suit and saluted before standing to the side.After waiting for a good ten minutes, Mo Chentian finally opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and said, "So this is Mi Xiaojing?"


    Chen Shouyi quickly signaled for Mi Xiaojing to step forward.


    In the Cultivation World, the higher the rank within a sect, the stricter the hierarchy. Chen Shouyi, being only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, didn''t dare to breathe heavily in front of a master at the Elemental Infant stage. This kind of invisible pressure was truly unbearable.


    Mu Hengyuan and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden also opened their eyes. Mu Hengyuan was curious. This man had been the talk of the town recently, iming to be able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills while only at the Qi Refining stage. They were not fools. With a little investigation and spection, they found that it was impossible for Mi Xiaojing to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills. Therefore, the only possibility was that this child had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was refined by him.

 Chapter 102: Shocked

    <h4>Chapter 102: Shocked</h4>


    This is simply a precious gift given to the Sword Heart Sect. A disciple who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the Qi Refining stage, and a disciple who can refine Ancient Cultivating Essence Pills right after Foundation Establishment. Such talent has even shocked the Elemental Infant Ancestors, who are considered high-ranking figures in the sect. What kind of genius is this!


    What the Sword Heart Sectcks the most right now is pill masters. Seeing such a talented disciple emerge, even the sect ancestors couldn''t sit still.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Yes, Sect Leader, I am Mi Xiaojing."


    Mo Chentian said in a gentle tone, "Don''t be nervous, little guy. We just have a few questions. We''re just curious."


    Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli were stunned. When have they ever seen the Sect Leader speak like this? Not only was there no pressure, but he was also very amiable. It waspletely different from the Sect Leader they remembered.


    "When you reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, did you refine the Foundation Establishment Pill yourself?"


    Mi Xiaojing was discussing nervously with Wang Weijun how to answer this question.


    Wang Weijun straightforwardly said, "Tell the truth. The gap between you is too big, and there are many things that can''t be hidden. Since you can''t hide it, you have to make them pay attention! Theyck pill masters!"


    "Yes, because I couldn''t obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, I had to refine it myself."


    Mu Hengyuan had some knowledge in alchemy, and he asked, "How did you refine the pills? Do you have any special methods?" This question was actually taboo. Every cultivator had their own methods, and if everything was revealed, it would be a big problem. But he asked without any scruples because he relied on being the Elder, and Mi Xiaojing had to answer.


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated for a moment and said, "I happened to obtain an ancient alchemy inheritance, so..."


    Everyone present understood the meaning of inheritance. It was a mysterious thing that couldn''t be described in words by the person who obtained it. Because the inheritance not only included the process of refining pills, but also the experience of alchemy. Even if Mu Hengyuan wanted to learn, it would be impossible.


    This was also a reminder from Wang Weijun. This guy was cunning and wouldn''t let Mi Xiaojing reveal any ws.


    If Mi Xiaojing was in danger, Wang Weijun would be in danger as well. So Wang Weijun naturally had to do his best to help Mi Xiaojing conceal the truth.


    Mo Chentian nodded. This reason was valid, and he knew that Mi Xiaojing was young and inexperienced. Being able toe up with such a reason should not be false. In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t lie. He did obtain the inheritance of alchemy, and it was the inheritance of a powerful expert in the Great Perfection stage of the Harmonious Unity realm.


    Immortal Maiden Azure Descent expressed her satisfaction, "Very good. What pills did you refine this time?"


    Mi Xiaojing found this woman difficult to deal with. She went straight to the key point. However, Mi Xiaojing didn''t need to hide his abilities this time. ording to Wang Weijun''s guidance, the more he showed his talent in alchemy, the more attention he would receive from the higher-ups of the sect.


    And Mi Xiaojing also knew that he couldn''t hide anything. The results of this alchemy were in his storage bag. The other party only needed to take it out and check it, or even just use their Divine Sense to see it. He couldn''t hide it, after all, he was far inferior to the experts in the Elemental Infant stage.


    Mi Xiaojing honestly said, "Qi Refining Pill, Clear Tranquility Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, Cultivating Essence Pill, White Zeal Pill, Nurturing Infant Pill."


    At first, it was fine, but when it came to the Cultivating Essence Pill, everyone in the room was shocked. When Mi Xiaojing mentioned the Nurturing Infant Pill, all three Elemental Infant Ancestors stood up.


    Mu Hengyuan was shocked, "Nurturing Infant Pill! You refined the Nurturing Infant Pill! It''s unbelievable that you can refine a pill for Elemental Infant stage cultivators!"


    Immortal Maiden Azure Descent said, "The White Zeal Pill is also for the Elemental Infant stage!"


    Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli were even more shocked. They both had their mouths wide open, staring nkly at Mi Xiaojing. Thest three pills shocked them.


    Guan Shangli was fine, but Chen Shouyi waspletely different. He imed to be the alchemy master of the Sword Heart Sect, but he could only refine one kind of White Zeal Pill, and it was only a low-grade pill. As for the Nurturing Infant Pill, he had never even heard of it.


    Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, and Immortal Maiden Azure Descent looked at each other and showed extremely joyful expressions on their faces.


    Mu Hengyuan suppressed his excitement and said, "There''s no need to refine the Loss and Gain Pill anymore. We have a better Nurturing Infant Pill! Haha, hahaha!"


    Mo Chentian immediately sent a message, and a cultivator quickly ran over. This person was unexpectedly a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and he was even in thete Foundation Establishment stage. He came in front of Mo Chentian and said, "Master." This person was actually the Sect Leader''s personal disciple.


    "Go inform the Grand Elder!"


    The person hesitated for a moment and said, "The Grand Elder is in seclusion!"


    The Grand Elder mentioned here was the most powerful Elemental Infant expert in the Sword Heart Sect, and he was also the one who unintentionally destroyed the Vast Gold Sect, Yu Hong. He was heavily injured, so after returning to the Sword Heart Sect, he went into seclusion to cultivate, waiting for the Loss and Gain Pill to be refined. However, the Loss and Gain Pill was not refined, but Mi Xiaojing had refined a better Nurturing Infant Pill.


    Mo Chentian said, "Don''t waste time, go and call him!"


    The person was startled and shouted loudly, "Yes!" He ran off, and if flying on a sword was not prohibited here, he would have flown out.


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Mi Xiaojing, you have made a great contribution!"Mi Xiaojing waspletely clueless. He had no idea about the internal affairs of the sect, nor did he know that the sect''s Grand Elder was seriously injured. If he had known, he would not have refined the Nurturing Infant Pill. He also didn''t understand why these Elemental Infant Ancestors were so happy.


    A trace of disappointment appeared on Chen Shouyi''s face. He understood that this child was a genius. He estimated that the sect''s resources would lean towards this child in the future. Even if he himself was a Foundation Establishment expert, the sect would not pay much attention to him. There were quite a few Foundation Establishment experts in the sect, but only Mi Xiaojing could refine the Elemental Infant Spirit Pill. No matter what Xiaojing''s cultivation level was, he was now the most valued person in the sect.


    Guan Shangli''s alchemy skills were average, and he didn''t feel any jealousy in his heart. His only thought was that this little guy was going to make it big. In the future, he would definitely be one of the most important figures in the sect. No matter what, he had to maintain a good rtionship with him.


    Soon, the Grand Elder Yu Hong arrived at the main hall. There was no visible sign of anything wrong with him, but Mo Chentian and the others knew in their hearts that Yu Hong''s injuries had worsened.

 Chapter 103: Healing

    <h4>Chapter 103: Healing</h4>


    "What''s the matter? Did the Loss and Gain Pill fail to refine?"


    Yu Hong''s gaze swept towards Chen Shouyi.


    Chen Shouyi dared not say anything and could only lower his head under Yu Hong''s gaze, not daring to make a sound.


    Mo Chentian said, "Senior Brother, the Loss and Gain Pill was not sessfully refined."


    Yu Hong''s hopeful expression instantly dimmed. He knew that the sect was in a critical situation, and if his injuries were not healed, it would have a huge impact on the sect.


    "Is it because the materials were insufficient?"


    Mo Chentian''s face was still filled with excitement as he loudly eximed, "The Loss and Gain Pill was not refined, but we obtained a better Nurturing Infant Pill!"


    "The Nurturing Infant Pill? Where did you get it?"


    Yu Hong''s gloominess suddenly disappeared, and his spirits were lifted. He naturally knew about the Nurturing Infant Pill, a rare spirit pill that had excellent healing effects on injured Elemental Infants. In the cultivation world, once this kind of spirit pill appeared, it would cause a frenzy among Elemental Infant stage cultivators.


    Mo Chentian pointed at Mi Xiaojing and said, "This little guy refined it. Haha, Senior Brother, you didn''t expect this!"


    Among the people present, Mi Xiaojing and Guan Shangli had the lowest cultivation levels, so Yu Hong didn''t even bother looking at them when he entered. But upon hearing this, he finally looked towards Mi Xiaojing, and in an instant, Mi Xiaojing felt immense pressure. He felt as if Yu Hong''s eyes were like knives, making his whole body go numb.


    Yu Hong couldn''t believe it and said, "How is that possible? Foundation Establishment initial stage! How could he refine a spirit pill for the Elemental Infant stage? Are you joking with me?" Hepletely didn''t believe it. After all, Chen Shouyi was a high-level cultivator at the Foundation Establishment initial stage, and even the refinement of the Loss and Gain Pill for the Elemental Infant stage had been continuously failing. How could this child refine such an advanced spirit pill?


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "Senior Brother, what you said is correct. He can do it! And he has already refined it. Hmm, Mi Xiaojing, take out the Nurturing Infant Pill and let the Grand Elder see."


    Mi Xiaojing had a clever idea and shook his head, saying, "This is my pill."


    Wang Weijun praised him, saying that this statement was very good and very fitting for Mi Xiaojing''s identity. Who would be willing to give their own things to others, especially a child? This couldpletely lower the other party''s guard and make them think that Mi Xiaojing was just a child and not some reincarnated old monster who had regained his memories.


    Experienced people would never say such things.


    Sure enough, the four Elemental Infant stage ancestors allughed.


    Mo Chentian said, "Little guy, we won''t take your spirit pill for nothing. Rest assured, we willpensate you."


    Mi Xiaojing then said, "Alright." He took out a jade bottle containing a low-grade Nurturing Infant Pill.


    The pill was passed around among the elders, and Yu Hong nodded and said, "This pill can be used! It can at least alleviate half of the injuries. As long as you give me a little more time, I can fully recover. Not bad, not bad!"


    Mo Chentian looked at Mi Xiaojing with a smile that was not quite a smile and said after a while, "Little guy, bring out another one."


    Mi Xiaojing knew he was referring to a middle-grade Nurturing Infant Pill. He was actually a bit reluctant to give out this pill. He felt that being able to refine a middle-grade Nurturing Infant Pill was partly due to luck. The refinement of a low-grade pill was not a big problem, but it was more difficult to produce a middle-grade pill.


    Yu Hong eximed in surprise, "Another one? This child has refined two Nurturing Infant Pills? That''s amazing!"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "He has refined four low-grade Nurturing Infant Pills and one middle-grade Nurturing Infant Pill!"


    Yu Hong waspletely shocked. He muttered to himself, "A middle-grade pill, there''s actually a middle-grade pill!"


    He already understood in his heart that with this middle-grade pill, his injuries would no longer be a problem. Even if it had been dyed for so long, he still had a chance to recover his cultivation level in a short period of time. The Nurturing Infant Pill was not just a healing pill, it could also be used to improve cultivation.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at Yu Hong.


    After Yu Hongughed heartily, he swallowed the pill in one gulp and immediately sat cross-legged, saying, "Protect me, and little guy, wait here and don''t leave!"


    Mi Xiaojing looked at him speechlessly. He had just eaten the spirit pill that he had painstakingly refined, and Yu Hong didn''t even ask him. He felt very unhappy, but he wasn''t foolish enough to ask.


    Mi Xiaojing''s face turned pale, looking like he had suffered a big loss, which caused everyone to smile.


    Mo Chentian said, "Senior Brother, rest assured, we are here, so there won''t be any problems."


    Mu Hengyuan pointed to the scattered rush cushions on the ground, gesturing for everyone to sit and wait. He even personally waved his arm, causing a rush cushion to slide and stop in front of Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing took a step forward and sat down, regardless of everything, it was not suitable to speak at this time.


    Due to consuming the middle-grade Nurturing Infant Pill, Yu Hong''s injuries were rapidly recovering. This spirit pill was specifically targeted at Elemental Infants, and his Elemental Infant, which had been heavily injured, waspletely different with this pill.


    The Elemental Infant breathed in the pill, and the Nurturing Infant Pill manifested in the Dan Tian, rapidly rotating around the Elemental Infant. Strands of faint green mist-like substances shot out from the Nurturing Infant Pill, enveloping the Elemental Infant. With the Elemental Infant''s breathing, these mist-like substances were gradually absorbed into the Elemental Infant''s body.The injury was visibly receding at a rapid pace. Yu Hong suppressed his inner excitement. This injury had been guing him for a long time. Despite his best efforts, he couldn''t alleviate it in the slightest. In fact, as time passed, it seemed to get heavier. But now, everything was different. With the Nurturing Infant Pill, the problem that had been bothering him was easily solved.


    Indeed, the Spirit Pill used in the Elemental Infant stage was incredibly effective.


    Mi Xiaojing wasn''t cultivating, he was just sitting and talking with Wang Weijun.

 Chapter 104: Rewards

    <h4>Chapter 104: Rewards</h4>


    "It''s so domineering, stealing my spirit pill."


    "This is an opportunity. Don''t show an unhappy expression. They are the most powerful existence in the sect. If you want to develop, they are the best help!"


    "But if the Sword Heart Sect destroys our Western Expansion Sect, am I betraying my master and the sect?"


    Mi Xiaojing was very conflicted. He didn''t want to get close to anyone from the Sword Heart Sect or make any contributions. But now, the spirit pill he refined has already helped the Sword Heart Sect, and he doesn''t know what to do.


    "You can hate them all you want, but on the surface, you have to pretend like nothing is wrong. If you want revenge, then strike at the crucial moment. Otherwise, just do whatever you want. Don''t worry about it!"


    Stabbing a knife at the critical moment, that''s Wang Weijun''s teaching.


    Mi Xiaojing was educated to be kind since he was young. Although he was stimted by the destruction of his sect, he really didn''t have any means to retaliate against the Sword Heart Sect. But with Wang Weijun around, the future path is uncertain. This old guy is definitely not a kind person in the cultivation world.


    Mi Youran and Luo Mei, the powerhouses of the cultivation world, probably didn''t expect that the Elemental Infant they nned to supplement the Mantra Banner with would end up bing Mi Xiaojing''s mentor. Due to the concealment of the Mantra Banner, Mi Youran, who is skilled in deduction, couldn''t predict the existence of Wang Weijun. They all thought that this guy''s Elemental Infant had already dissipated.


    In fact, when the Western Expansion Sect was destroyed, Mi Youran and Luo Mei had already arrived. They just didn''t dare to go and see. ording to Mi Youran''s spection, Mi Xiaojing''s fortunate result in the destruction of the sect made them not worry. It was not until Mi Xiaojing entered the Sword Heart Sect that they left with peace of mind. During this time, Mi Xiaojing had great luck, and they didn''t know that Wang Weijun yed a role in it.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to cultivate for half a day. He absorbs the power of starlight, and it doesn''t matter if the spiritual energy is dense or not. So he has beenmunicating with Wang Weijun.


    Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli arepletely different. Such a rich spiritual energy would be a waste if they didn''t cultivate. As soon as they sat down, they began to cultivate. This can be considered a benefit.


    For a while, the hall was silent, only the sound of long breaths could be faintly heard.


    Yu Hong''s body was covered in a faint red radiance, a sign that he was forcing out the fire poison in his body.


    Suddenly, Yu Hong spoke, "Not enough, not enough, give me another Nurturing Infant Pill!"


    The Immortal Maiden still had a low-grade Nurturing Infant Pill in her hand, and she shot it out with a raise of her hand.


    Yu Hong caught it with his hand, gently squeezed it, and the ss bottle shattered. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Nurturing Infant Pill.


    The medicinal power that was about to disappear due to rapid consumption was almost sessful. After swallowing the low-grade Nurturing Infant Pill, a huge force appeared again. With the help of this medicinal power, Yu Hong repaired himself instantly. Not only was his Elemental Infant undamaged, but his strength also slightly increased. This is the effect of the Nurturing Infant Pill, which surprised Yu Hong.


    With a breath, a ming snake-like thing was instantly sprayed out. This thing seemed alive, twisting and stretching in the air. Yu Hong cast a series of magical techniques and forcibly sealed this thing, forming a ball with the coiled me snake. It was ck and emitted a hint of red radiance. He satisfactorily reached out and grabbed it, storing it in his storage bag.


    Mi Xiaojing was extremely curious.


    "What is this? It looks like a living me snake."


    "This is fire poison, already formed fire poison. If it weren''t for your Nurturing Infant Pill, this fire poison would gradually erode his Elemental Infant and grow stronger. Do you know? Your Nurturing Infant Pill really saved his life. Otherwise, if it continued to develop, his injuries would be more and more severe!"


    "If he didn''t have the Nurturing Infant Pill, would he die?"


    "He wouldn''t die, but he would probably suffer for decades until he found a suitable spirit pill. Maybe he could still survive, but it would be almost impossible for him to continue advancing."


    Mi Xiaojing finally realized how powerful the Nurturing Infant Pill he refined was. Because it was easy toe by, he didn''t think much of it. But he didn''t expect the effect of the spirit pill to be so huge.


    Yu Hong let out a long roar as he stood up and said, "Good! Very good!"


    Mo Chentian eximed in joy, "Senior brother, have you fully recovered?"


    Yu Hong nodded vigorously, then burst intoughter. He had been suppressed during this period of time. The Vast Gold Sect would definitely continue to attack. As the most powerful elder of the sect, he could only hide in the sect to heal his injuries and rely on the sect''s great sword formation to resist the attacks. Yu Hong was truly miserable.


    "Hahaha! Give him my courtyard at the foot of the main peak! Give him the identity of a direct disciple of the sect! Give him a position in the Grass-Benevolence Hall! Give him thergest contribution to the sect! Within ten years, there will be no sect missions. The Elemental Infant stage spirit pills he refines will be purchased by the sect!"


    "Furthermore, the Heavenly Clear Scripture Pavilion of the sect will be open to him!"


    "Reward him with ten high-grade spirit stones!"


    "And this is for you!"A circr ck bracelet flew over, and Mi Xiaojing caught it in a daze. Even Wang Weijun eximed from within the Mantra Banner, "Goodness, a storage bracelet, this guy is quite wealthy!" Even he didn''t have such a good item in the past, always using a storage bag, and onlyter did he manage to get an Immortal Pouch.


    This is the advantage of having a sect, with deep foundations. A rogue cultivator, even if they reach the stage of union, still has a significant gappared to a sect with profound heritage.


    Rewards came one after another, it was a grand reward indeed. Yu Hong was also excited. His recovery meant that the sect''s high-end martial power was no longercking, and they were no longer afraid of the Vast Gold Sect''s attack. Mi Xiaojing''s contribution was immense, and he also wanted to cultivate such a genius Pill Master, which was extremely important for the sect.


    .


    Chen Shouyi, Guan Shangli, both were stunned looking at Yu Hong. A storage bracelet! A manor under the main peak! Ten top-grade Spirit Stones! ess to the Tiang Scripture Tower! The offerings of the sect and the Grass-Benevolence Hall! Each one was a frightening reward, each one made the two of them drool, it was too generous.


    Mo Chentian and Mu Hengyuan were also a bit surprised, only the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden still had a cold expression.


    This reward was indeed not small.


    Wang Weijun marveled, he had always been a rogue cultivator, not very clear about the rules and methods of the sect, and was also shocked by the sect''s generous hand. It turned out that cultivators with a sect, as long as they have the ability, definitely have better conditions than rogue cultivators, and much better at that.


    Mo Chentian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn''t say anything.

 Chapter 105: Gathering Spring Monastery

    <h4>Chapter 105: Gathering Spring Monastery</h4>


    Other rewards are fine, but Mo Chentian is not very happy about the opening of the Tiang Scripture Tower. It is known that this Scripture Tower contains the cultivation experiences and insights of generations of experts, and only the high-level members of the sect can freely enter and exit. Even Chen Shouyi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, has great restrictions when entering.


    Of course, this opening is more virtual than real for Mi Xiaojing, because he is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and he has no possibility of understanding the experiences and feelings of Elemental Infant cultivators, let alone higher-level techniques and insights.


    But Yu Hong doesn''t know that there is a powerful Elemental Infant cultivator inside Mi Xiaojing. This person can understand everything and know everything. His realm is extremely high, so it is not difficult for him to understand these low-level things.


    There are ten high-grade spirit stones in the storage bracelet, which Mi Xiaojing imprints with his divine sense. With a magical technique, the storage bracelet bes his.


    Immortal Maiden Biluo said, "You can refine more spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage, don''t worry! The sect will not treat you unfairly."


    Mo Chentian also said, "In the Sword Heart Sect, as long as you don''tmit treason against the sect, everything else is fine. Haha, if anyone dares to offend you in the sect,e find me and I will personally deal with them!"


    Mu Hengyuan asked, "Is Mu Xiaoyin with you now?"


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned, he nodded and said, "Yes, senior."


    Mu Hengyuan nodded, but did not continue speaking. Mi Xiaojing was confused and didn''t know why he mentioned Mu Xiaoyin''s name.


    Yu Hong said, "Alright, get ready to move. It''s much better to cultivate under the main peak than your original ce. Although it''s not big, it''s enough for you."


    Mo Chentian said, "Shouyi, you are in charge of arranging it. Shangli, you will assist. Make sure the little guy is satisfied, understand?" The sect leader personally gave the order, and both Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli dared not neglect. They bowed and promised.


    Mi Xiaojing never knew that a cultivation sect could be so generous. No wonder Evolutionary Immortals are so miserable and cultivation is so arrogant. From this incident, it can be seen that the growth of cultivation sects is not without reason.


    Dazed and confused, Mi Xiaojing came out and then a series of things happened, including moving, including other rewards. After a busy day, Mi Xiaojing had already arrived at his new home with Zhang Ke and the others.


    Moreover, Zhang Ke and the others came over on a flying boat dispatched by the sect, otherwise it wouldn''t be so fast.


    This courtyard was a separate courtyard of Elder Yu Hong. The courtyard was not very big, with an ancient wooden building, a front yard, and a back yard. There was a huge ancient tree in the front yard, covering the entire wooden building. The back yard had a small pond with a bamboo pavilion built on it, surrounded by precious spiritual herbs.


    In this pond, there were three spiritual springs, and on the bamboo pavilion, there was a delicate Gathering Spirit Array. The entire courtyard was covered by a defensive formation, and identification with a formation te was required to enter and exit.


    Luo Bo finally got a storage bag, which he had always wanted.


    Mi Xiaojing finally had his own position in the Sword Heart Sect. The first thing he thought of was the children from the Western Expansion Sect who were captured.


    He inquired about the situation and found that only a small number of the captured vigers were inside the sect, including the vige chief and some others. The rest were left outside the sect, beyond therge formation.


    Luo Bo''s family also had news, but Luo Bo simply didn''t want to take care of them, and Mi Xiaojing didn''t mind.


    After gaining his position, Mi Xiaojing naturally had a group of people ttering him. Soon, someone brought two children, both disciples of the Western Expansion Sect, as well as the vige chief''s family and several tenants from the Western Expansion Sect, and they were all brought to the courtyard.


    The name of Elder Yu Hong''s separate courtyard was Gathering Spring Courtyard, which was very famous in the Sword Heart Sect. This area was also a restricted area of the sect and ordinary people could not enter.


    Gathering Spring Courtyard also had affiliatednd for nting various spiritual herbs and trees. The spiritual energy here was extremely abundant, and any spiritual herb or tree could grow extremely well. However, someone had to be responsible for this.


    Mi Xiaojing unhesitatingly let the old vige chief take charge and let him and several families live here. They were ordinary mortals and couldn''t cultivate, but living in such a ce with abundant spiritual energy would naturally make them healthy and prolong their lives.


    The two children from the Western Expansion Sect were brought by Lu Yu. Lu Yu probably didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing would rise so quickly and be an inner disciple of the sect, and he also learned that Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy skills were even higher than Chen Shouyi''s. He was even appreciated by the Elder and got the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    In the Grass-Benevolence Hall, Mi Xiaojing''s treatment in certain aspects had even surpassed Chen Shouyi. This made Lu Yu extremely envious. They were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, but Mi Xiaojing could receive such treatment, which motivated him to curry favor with Mi Xiaojing even more.


    The two children, one called Mao Tou and the other called Da Zhu, didn''t have formal names yet. One was nine years old and the other was ten years old. They had not reached the age to cultivate Evolutionary Immortality in the Western Expansion Sect, but when they were six years old, they could already read and write. Since Evolutionary Immortality required cultivating true words, reading and writing were essential.


    The two children had suffered a lot after entering the Sword Heart Sect, but for them, these hardships were nothingpared to what they had experienced in the Western Expansion Sect. The only thing that made them feel painful was that the people here were unfriendly to them, scolding and even beating them weremon urrences.


    Zhang Ke and Mi Xiaojing knew the two children, especially Zhang Ke. He had always been the head chef in the cafeteria and treated the children extremely well. When he saw the two children, he couldn''t help but shed tears of excitement. He hugged them and said in their local dialect, "Ah, Mao Tou, Zhu Zi, you''ve suffered. Do you usually eat shrimp? Are you full? Uncle will cook delicious food for you!" He was so excited that he spoke in his hometown dialect.Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s good that you''re here. From now on, follow me, follow Uncle. No one here dares to bully you."


    Wei Fu was actually more familiar with them. Seeing Wei Fu, the two children were obviously very happy. They didn''t expect that everyone here was from the Western Evolutionary Sect, and they were all familiar people. The depression that had been pressing in their hearts gradually began to dissipate.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want the servants given by the sect. He would rather use his own people than the people from the Heart Sect.


    The vige chief''s name was Zhang Liben, who was somewhat rted to Zhang Ke. Mi Xiaojing always called him Uncle Vige Chief, not knowing his name. The reason he found Zhang Liben and his family this time was because of his current status, which made people willing to give up the vige chief''s family.


    Back then, when Mi Xiaojing was collecting rent, he had eaten at the vige chief''s house several times, leaving a deep impression.

 Chapter 106: School plan

    <h4>Chapter 106: School n</h4>


    Zhang Ke was considered Mi Xiaojing''s butler, while Zhang Li was already an external steward. The two of them were responsible for everyone''s food, clothing, and daily affairs.


    Mi Xiaojing instructed Zhang Ke to take the two children to bathe and change clothes first, and then prepare some delicious food for them to settle down.


    Mao Tou seemed more cheerful and quickly started chatting with Wei Fu, while Da Zhu appeared a bit simple-minded, only showing a smile as he stood by and watched.


    With the addition of two children, Mi Xiaojing inquired and received a bad result. Except for a few tenant farmers on the outskirts of the Western Expansion Sect, it was unknown whether the people of the sect were alive or dead. There were no other members of the Western Expansion Sect left except for Mi Xiaojing, Zhang Ke, Wei Fu, and the two new children.


    Everyone else had died, and Mi Xiaojing felt pain in his heart, but he didn''t show it on his face. When he first came here, there were still manyborers from the Western Expansion Sect, but these people couldn''t adapt to the life here and basically died off.


    Following the rules of the Western Expansion Sect, Mi Xiaojing silently recited the mantras and only looked up after a moment.


    The deceased were gone, and the living had to strive to survive.


    Mi Xiaojing had already seen the cruelty of the cultivation world.


    With the sect as a backing for now, as long as there were no external enemies, he would have time and energy to slowly develop and strengthen himself and his group. This was an opportunity, a great opportunity.


    As for the attack from the Vast Gold Sect, with the sect''s resistance, he didn''t need to worry about it. Of course, even if he did worry, it wouldn''t make a difference. He just needed to focus on himself.


    Living in the Gathering Spring Residence, all supplies were provided by the sect, including clothes, food, and daily necessities. Mi Xiaojing didn''t need to worry about them at all. This was the benefit, this was power. As long as Mi Xiaojing could provide the Elemental Infant Ancestor with the spirit pills he needed, he wouldn''t have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter.


    A few dayster, arge amount of materials were gathered, including some alchemy materials collected by the Elemental Infant Ancestor himself. They were all excellent things. In order to allow Mi Xiaojing to refine good spirit pills, the Elemental Infant Ancestors went all out.


    Yu Hong sat in the main hall and said, "The Vast Gold Sect only attacked once. I estimate that the next attack wille soon. What should we do?"


    Mu Hengyuan said calmly, "We used to have concerns, but now we''re not afraid of them. Relying on the sect''s sword formation, if theye again, we must let them know that our Heart Sect is not easy to provoke. This time, we must leave them with a profound lesson!"


    Mo Chentian said, "Our strength is actually on par with the Vast Gold Sect. Even if theye to attack, it won''t be difficult to repel them, but it will be difficult to eliminate them."


    Yu Hong said with a gloomy face, "That''s not the problem. If theye again, they must have already calcted our strength and have confidence in overpowering us before they make a move."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "They should seek external help!"


    The atmosphere instantly became heavy when they heard this.


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "I hope Senior Brother will go and invite experts to help us."


    Yu Hong nodded and said, "We need to invite people. Fortunately, our sect has a genius in alchemy. We don''t need anything else as long as we provide some spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage. They will definitely be willing toe!"


    Mo Chentian pped his thigh andughed, "Yes, yes! I was still worried about what price it would take to invite a few experts! Haha, spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage are in high demand and can''t be bought. That''s settled!"


    The mood of the Elemental Infant experts instantly became rxed. If Mi Xiaojing didn''t refine the spirit pills, the price the sect had to pay would be higher. Besides arge amount of spirit stones, they would also need some treasures. Now, as long as they had a few spirit pills, they could invite some decent experts.


    Yu Hong said, "Good. After the little guy refines a batch of spirit pills, I will go and invite people. Also, no matter what materials or treasures he needs, give them to him!"


    Mu Hengyuan said, "I have already given the order. There are dedicated people ready to follow the little guy''s instructions at any time."


    Mo Chentian said, "No problem, I''ve been prepared for a long time."


    Yu Hong said, "This time, I will wipe out the Vast Gold Sect. Since we have already be enemies, they shouldn''t expect to live!"


    Mi Xiaojing''s recent task had be heavier. He now upied Chen Shouyi''s pill furnace, which was the best alchemy hall of the Heart Sect. Originally, Chen Shouyi wanted to watch Mi Xiaojing refine pills, but he was directly rejected by Mu Hengyuan.


    Mu Hengyuan knew very well that with Mi Xiaojing''s sess rate in alchemy, he must have some powerful inheritance, and he definitely didn''t want others to see it. If Chen Shouyi insisted on staying, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t drive him away, but he could definitely cut corners. The possibility of refining low-grade spirit pills would be very high once he had a conflicting mood.


    .


    Mu Hengyuan would never make such a mistake. He set up a formation outside the alchemy hall and only a few Elemental Infant Ancestors could enter. Others couldn''t even get in.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that this was the price. Since he had received so many benefits from the Heart Sect, he had to pay an equal or even higher price. The cultivation world wasn''t that merciful. People with value and usefulness were the ones the sect sought to win over. Those without abilities or strength were not even worth a second nce. Who would care about them?


    Therefore, he had to refine pills, and he had to refine good spirit pills. Mi Xiaojing understood this very well. Even though he still resented the Heart Sect in his heart, he knew that in order to grow stronger with the help of the Heart Sect, he had to have his own value and talent recognized by the sect.Sweating profusely, Mi Xiaojing was diligently refining Spirit Pills. Therge Pill Cauldron he was using was originally exclusive to Chen Shouyi, but the sect had forcibly given it to Mi Xiaojing. Chen Shouyi was helpless, he never imagined that the little alchemy apprentice he had taken in could actually snatch his Pill Cauldron.


    Thanks to the ample materials, Mi Xiaojing not only refined Nurturing Infant Pills, but also Hakutaku Pills and Cultivating Essence Pills. He kept refining inrge quantities, never stopping as long as he had enough materials.


    With the integration of inherited experience and the increase in alchemy time, Mi Xiaojing became more and more proficient. The sess rate of pill formation and the rate of producing high-quality pills both improved. If it weren''t for his insufficient cultivation level, his alchemy results would be even better.


    In this way, Mi Xiaojing also obtained quite a few Spirit Pills. Most of them were taken away, and he only kept a small portion for himself. Among them, he kept four medium-quality Nurturing Infant Pills, while the only two high-quality pills were excitedly taken away by Mu Hengyuan. He also refined quite a few Hakutaku Pills, but he was only able to keep three. However, among these three, one was a high-quality Hakutaku Pill.

 Chapter 107: Rest

    <h4>Chapter 107: Rest</h4>


    There were quite a few Cultivating Essence Pills. Mi Xiaojing left a total of twenty-seven pills, fifteen of which were high-grade pills and twelve were medium-grade pills. The rest were taken away.


    It took more than two months to refine the pills. When Mi Xiaojing came out, the whole mountain was green.


    The weather gradually warmed up, and Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay attention to the guards beside him. With the envious eyes of everyone, he released a lightning strike and flew away on his sword.


    "So this is our sect''s master alchemist, and he''s just a child!"


    "Don''t talk nonsense, don''t you know? The sect''s elders oftene, and it is said that he can refine Spirit Pills for Elemental Infant stage cultivators. It''s terrifying!"


    "What? That powerful? How is it possible for Spirit Pills for Elemental Infant stage cultivators!"


    "Why is it impossible! The sect has ordered that anyone who dares to disrespect him is an enemy of the sect!"


    Several junior disciples were discussing at the door, asionally looking at the sky and the direction Mi Xiaojing had left, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that a group of people were envious and jealous of him. He quickly returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    Then he saw Luo Bo and Wei Fu, with Mao Tou and Da Zhu, attacking each other with wooden swords. Mu Xiaoyin was sitting not far away, still reciting mantras and practicing Evolutionary Immortality.


    As for Zhang Ke, he was busy cooking. He wasn''t very focused on cultivation.


    When Mi Xiaojingnded, a group of children gathered around.


    "Brother Xiao Mi!"


    "Brother is back!"


    "Did you bring anything good?"


    "Brother, we have started cultivating!"


    Mi Xiaojing happily patted their heads and shoulders. With this group of children, he felt good, just like in the Western Evolutionary Sect, where everyone was kind and loving, without any scheming. It would be veryfortable at home.


    Mi Xiaojing''s fatigue disappeared instantly. He smiled and said, "Cultivate well. No matter what, you must improve your strength so that you can help your brother in the future."


    Luo Bo smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Mi, don''t worry, we will work hard to cultivate and strive to catch up with your realm!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately felt happy. He said, "Okay, but you have to work hard!" Since he learned the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, he knew how powerful this technique was and didn''t dare to let Luo Bo cultivate it. Instead, he gave him another superior cultivation method, the Wind and Thunder Art, which was Wang Weijun''s expertise.


    Luo Bo had quite good aptitude. Maybe he wasn''t good at Evolutionary Immortality, but in cultivation, he surprised Mi Xiaojing with his rapid progress. He was catching up with Mi Xiaojing.


    Wei Fu and Zhang Ke had average aptitude, but with the help of Spirit Pills, their cultivation progress was not slow. It should be noted that the Spirit Pills provided by Mi Xiaojing were unlimited. You could eat as many as you wanted. Of course, there was a limit to the effectiveness of the Spirit Pills. Once taken to a certain extent, the pills would lose their effect and better or higher-grade pills would be needed.


    Since Mi Xiaojing learned alchemy, these were no longer problems. Even if he piled up Spirit Pills, he could cultivate several experts. Mi Xiaojing was full of confidence. In the cultivation world, some people had a strong background but ordinary aptitude. However, they could still reach a certain level by relying on resources. This situation was quitemon.


    In the cultivation world, there were indeed second-generation cultivators and even tenth-generation cultivators. Most of them had good aptitude, and even if their aptitude was poor, they would be supported by their elders and receive preferential treatment in terms of resources. These people formed a considerable force in the cultivation world.


    Mi Xiaojing invisibly benefited Zhang Ke and the others, just like a second-generation cultivator. There were people in front providing various resources to help them cultivate.


    Especially in the backyard of the Gathering Spring Courtyard, the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring, coupled with a Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual energy was not of much help to Mi Xiaojing, but it was a great help to others.


    In this short period of time, Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu all showed signs of advancement. This was the benefit of Spirit Pills and the abundant spiritual energy.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t cultivate or continue refining pills this time. After returning to his room, he went straight to sleep. The luxurious bed in the courtyard was too extravagant for Mi Xiaojing. He preferred to sleep on the wooden floor, which was smooth andfortable.


    Mi Xiaojing had never slept on a soft bed in his life. He liked the feeling of lying on a hard surface.


    He slept for three days, finally feeling fully rested.


    In this life, this was the mostfortable sleep he had ever had. Since he arrived at the Sword Heart Sect, Mi Xiaojing had been like a spinning top, never able to stop. This time, relying on his alchemy skills, he finally stood firm and gathered all the remaining captives of the Western Evolutionary Sect, fulfilling their wish to protect them. So hepletely rxed and was able to sleep so soundly.


    After getting up, going downstairs, and freshening up, Mi Xiaojing came to the tform on the wooden building. There was a small tform on the second floor of the wooden building, facing the direction where the sun rose. He began to meditate and absorb a strand of Qianyang purple qi.


    A strand of Qianyang purple qi was also of great benefit to Wang Weijun. Every time Mi Xiaojing absorbed Qianyang purple qi in the early morning, it was the happiest time for Wang Weijun. This strand of Qianyang purple qi was a great tonic for him.


    Wang Weijun was rtively miserable in the Mantra Banner because the powerful Mantra Banner almostpletely restricted him. If it weren''t for his extensive knowledge and finding a weakness that could be exploited, he would have been consumed inside. Once he was really consumed, Mi Xiaojing would strike it rich.


    The only things Wang Weijun could absorb were the external spiritual energy and the Qianyang purple qi absorbed by Mi Xiaojing.


    These two things were what Wang Weijun needed. Anything else was not something he could absorb. For example, the Nurturing Infant Pill had great benefits for him, but he couldn''t eat it at all. It wasn''t that Mi Xiaojing didn''t give it to him, but that nothing could be transmitted to him because he waspletely sealed by the Mantra Banner.


    When the sun waspletely up, Mi Xiaojing stood up. He stretchedzily, and his joints crackled. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had grown taller.This discovery made Mi Xiaojing even happier. He always liked being tall and strong, but unfortunately, due to his childhood, he was always underfed and his simple desires made him appear weak. It wasn''t until he started Cultivation that both his height and weight saw significant growth. The way his body absorbed nutrients changed, he no longer needed to rely on food for nourishment, Cultivation was the best way to maintain his health.


    Mu Xiaoyin rushed to the tform, calling out repeatedly, "Junior brother, junior brother,e quickly, Luo Bo is fighting with someone!"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled, "Luo Bo is fighting? Where?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Follow me!"


    Mi Xiaojing cast a Magical Technique, reached out to grab Mu Xiaoyin, "You point the direction, we''ll fly over!"

 Chapter 108: Reunion with Mo Yuer

    <h4>Chapter 108: Reunion with Mo Yuer</h4>


    Mu Xiaoyin pointed in a direction and said, "There! Let''s go there!"


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing flew out with Mu Xiaoyin.


    Within a few breaths, Mi Xiaojing heard the sound of fighting, especially the sound of wind and thunder. He immediately knew that it was the sound of magical swords, and it was Luo Bo''s magical sword because Luo Bo practiced the Wind and Thunder Technique.


    Mi Xiaojing lightly touched Mu Xiaoyin''s hand and whispered, "Don''t make a sound, let''s observe first." They quietlynded behind a big tree.


    The vegetation was lush at this time, and with Mi Xiaojing''s control, theynded silently without attracting anyone''s attention.


    Zhang Ke protected Mao Tou and Da Zhu, the two children who seemed to be frightened. They were pale and hiding behind Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, with his hands open, blocking in front.


    Wei Fu held a magical sword and stood in front of Zhang Ke, while Luo Bo was fighting with someone.


    Mi Xiaojing saw a little girl standing not far away and immediately recognized her. When he was captured from the Western Expansion Sect to the Heart Sect, he almost fell into the hands of this little girl.


    In the Heart Sect, this little girl was very famous. She was the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Heart Sect, named Mo Yuer. Just like Mi Xiaojing, she was at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation. Her manor was next to the Gathering Spring Pavilion.


    A group of low-level cultivators surrounded her, calling her "Junior Sister" one after another.


    There were eight male cultivators and four female cultivators, plus Mo Yuer, making a total of thirteen people. Mo Yuer had the highest cultivation level, while the others were all at the Qi Refining stage. Due to Mo Yuer''s superior status, there were many people ttering her, but most of them were at the Qi Refining stage.


    The person fighting with Luo Bo was a cultivator at theter stage of Qi Refining. Although he was stronger than Luo Bo, Luo Bo had a magical sword and various talismans and protective treasures, so he was not at a disadvantage in the fight.


    The battle seemed to have just begun, and Mi Xiaojing noticed Luo Bo''s fighting style. This child was fearless and fought desperately. Although the opponent was stronger than him, he was still able to make the opponent panic and scream. It was obvious that the opponent was scared.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but smile. He didn''t expect Luo Bo''s fighting style to be so fierce. It felt like he wanted to destroy everything. Moreover, when the opponent counterattacked, Luo Bo didn''t dodge or avoid, but directly attacked with his sword, as if he was willing to die together. The opponent screamed in fear.


    "Kid! Who fights like you? Ah, you, you bastard!"


    Luo Bo coldly said, "If I die, you die too! We die together!"


    Mu Xiaoyin covered her mouth tightly. She was really scared. The little guy who usually smiled at everyone was fighting so recklessly. It was really terrifying.


    "Damn it, lunatic! You little lunatic! Come on! I, I won''t fight anymore!"


    Luo Bo sneered, "You fight if I say fight, you stop if I say stop. Who do you think I am?" He continued to charge forward.


    The people who were joking around Mo Yuer gradually stopped and turned their attention to the fight. They realized that Luo Bo was suppressing theirpanion and was in a very miserable state.


    The battle with low-level magical swords was not so fancy. Most of the time, they fought with the sword in hand, making the battle more dangerous. Luo Bo fought without regard for his life, not only scaring his opponent, but also shocking the onlookers.


    The person suddenly threw out a talisman, which instantly turned into a fireball and shot towards Luo Bo.


    .


    Luo Bo lightly patted his storage bag, and a translucent shield appeared. The fireball hit the shield, sparks flying, and both disappeared at the same time.


    Luo Bo didn''t stop there. He raised his hand and threw out a series of fireballs. He had plenty of these talismans. When Mi Xiaojing exchanged them before, they were stacked in piles of twenty or even thirty. Even for the simplest fireball talisman, Luo Bo had more than forty of them, so he didn''t care at all.


    One fireball after another, Luo Boughed heartily. Although he was just a child, his momentum at this momentpletely overwhelmed his opponent.


    The opponent couldn''t hold on anymore and desperately dodged and shouted to stop.


    Luo Bo sneered, "You fight if I say fight, you stop if I say stop. When does the battle you started end? It''s not up to you to decide. It''s up to me!"


    Seven or eight fireballs flew out again, making the person scream in panic. He didn''t have so many talismans in his hand, and after a few attempts, he exhausted his reserves and could only desperately dodge, reaching the point of extreme embarrassment.


    Suddenly, severalpanions beside him also started using defensive talismans on him, helping him withstand Luo Bo''s attacks.


    Mi Xiaojing was just squinting his eyes to watch, but Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t bear it anymore and jumped out, shouting, "Have you no shame! Do you have any shame left! So many people bullying a little child, do you have any shame!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t hide anymore and had toe out as well.


    When Luo Bo saw Mi Xiaojinge out, he became even more brave. With a magical sword in his hand and continuously throwing various attack talismans, he fiercely charged forward.Luo Bo''s madness immediately angered a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. This was a fierce-looking fellow who cursed, "You little bastard, so arrogant! Xiao Liu, step aside, I''ll handle this!"


    Mi Xiaojing remained still, wanting to see how Luo Bo would respond.


    In fact, Luo Bo had littlebat experience, but he was different from others. Once he started fighting, he was fearless and charged forward bravely. It was hard to believe that he was just a child, his momentum was absolutely terrifying.


    Mo Yuer''s attention also shifted over. Her gaze was somewhat cold, and she looked at Luo Bo with disapproval. This child made her lose face, daring to actually start a fight. Although the cultivators surrounding her were not her subordinates, she enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.


    Soon, she noticed Mi Xiaojing and was taken aback because she remembered him. If it weren''t for Guan Shangli''sck of manpower, he should have gone to her estate. Why was he here? She didn''t recognize Luo Bo, mainly because Luo Bo had changed a lot. His previously extremely thin body was now almost like a normal child''s.


    Mo Yuer didn''t recognize Luo Bo, but she recognized Mi Xiaojing at a nce. Even though Mi Xiaojing had grown taller, he was very handsome and sunny, which left a deep impression on Mo Yuer.


    Suddenly, Mo Yuer remembered something and was surprised. She had heard about Mi Xiaojing, not just heard, but it was well-known. Recently, there had been rumors in the sect about a genius in alchemy. She wondered, could it be the person in front of her?

 Chapter 109: Little crazy person

    <h4>Chapter 109: Little crazy person</h4>


    Mo Yuer nced at the Gathering Spring Courtyard in the distance, feeling cautious.


    Mi Xiaojing was not only valued by her father, but also by the other elders of the sect. Even someone as proud as her didn''t want to offend someone who was valued by all the elders.


    Mo Yuer became alert and didn''t dare to be too reckless. ording to her temperament, if the little guy dared to resist, even if she didn''t kill him, she would beat him half to death. In the Heart Sect, if Mo Yuer hit someone, no one would dare to do anything to her.


    Cultivators in the cultivation world were very practical. Even someone as delicate as Mo Yuer, a second-generation cultivator, had certain rules. For example, very few people would bully someone with great potential. Because once you bullied them, congrattions, you would have to start worrying. Who knows if the person you bullied would be extremely powerful in the future? That would be retribution.


    .


    Therefore, high-level cultivators in the cultivation world generally didn''t want to offend people. But once they did, it was best to go all out and kill them to be somewhat safe. Of course, this rule generally applied to high-level cultivators, and low-level cultivators didn''t have so many concerns.


    The guy named Xiao Liu had long wanted to retreat. When he encountered such a reckless madman, he was also frightened. When he heard hispanion telling him to retreat, he immediately jumped to the side and whispered, "Thanks, Senior Wu!"


    The person he called Senior Wu had a great reputation among low-level cultivators. His name was Wu Tianchu, and he had reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, he was not old, only twenty-one years old. He could be considered a cultivation genius. The reason why he was following Mo Yuer was not because he admired her beauty, but because he wanted to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills from her.


    In the cultivation world, cultivators were rarely deceived by beautiful women. They treated dual cultivation partners more seriously than ordinary people. If their hearts were not in sync and their intentions did not align, they would neverpromise. Even though Mo Yuer was beautiful and had an astonishing background and power, most of the low-level disciples surrounding her were there for some kind of benefit, not to be dual cultivation partners with her.


    Only those who cultivated demonic arts or followed unorthodox paths would be infatuated with beauty and indulge in carnal desires. These were the things that true cultivators looked down upon.


    Once dual cultivation partners were formed in the cultivation world, it was a lifelong matter, and they might even be together for several lifetimes, unless one party diedpletely.


    Most cultivators chose to walk alone and didn''t like being restrained or involved. This was due to the nature of cultivation.


    Wu Tianchu''s strength was much higher than Luo Bo''s. Luo Bo had just broken through to thete stage of Qi Refining and hadn''t consolidated his foundation yet. Moreover, his foundation was a bit unstable. He had forcefully pushed through with the help of Spirit Pills. Although they were only one small realm apart, the realm of Great Perfection in Qi Refining was extraordinary, and the difference was significant. It was a step away from Foundation Establishment, so their strengths couldn''t bepared.


    But Luo Bo wasn''t afraid. He was like a newborn calf that wasn''t afraid of tigers. When he saw Wu Tianchu blocking his way, he charged straight at him.


    Wu Tianchu sneered. He didn''t dodge or avoid, but directly shed with Luo Bo, using his magical sword as a big knife. The people around were all dumbfounded. There was no technique, just a head-on collision. With just one strike, Luo Bo was forced to retreat.


    Don''t underestimate Luo Bo''s loss. It was mainly because he was too young and small, and his strength was one level lower. It was natural for him to suffer a disadvantage in such a head-on collision. But Luo Bo''s eyes lit up. He shouted, "How exhrating!" His voice gave people an extremely eerie feeling because it was a crisp childlike voice.


    ng!


    Sparks flew, apanied by the sound of thunder.


    This time, Wu Tianchu couldn''t stand his ground either. He took step after step backward, while Luo Bo was hit by this tremendous force and flew out. But the little guy was fearless. He raised his hand and swallowed a Clear Tranquility Pill, holding it in his mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, but he refused to swallow the liquid. Instead, he let the liquid slide down his throat bit by bit.


    Without making a sound, Luo Bo bounced off the ground and immediately pounced again.


    This time, Wu Tianchu''s expression changed slightly. He also felt Luo Bo''s madness and desperation.


    The two swords shed, and Wu Tianchu suddenly struck out with a palm like lightning, aiming for Luo Bo''s chest.


    Luo Bo slightly dodged, and this palm struck his shoulder. At the same time, their swords collided, causing a loud explosion and a muffled groan. It should be noted that Luo Bo had the liquid of the Clear Tranquility Pill in his mouth. This palm almost made him spit out the liquid, but he forcefully swallowed it and his shout was muffled.


    This palm almost didn''t shatter Luo Bo''s shoulder bone. He couldn''t stand on his feet anymore and rolled on the ground after being hit. But as he rolled, the liquid of the Clear Tranquility Pill quickly turned into a hot stream and began to heal his injuries.


    So Luo Bo didn''t stop. After resolving the impact, he counterattacked once again.


    Everyone was shocked. Why was this child so crazy? This wasn''t a life or death enemy, was it necessary to fight so desperately?


    Before he could reach Wu Tianchu, Luo Bo suddenly threw out a stack of fireball talismans and sharp gold arrow talismans. Countless finger-sized virtual arrow shadows were released, carrying at least six fireballs, and they all exploded towards his opponent. Luo Bo wasn''t stupid. After several forced collisions, he had already realized that he couldn''t kill his opponent by force alone.


    So he would use talismans to bury him!


    This was Luo Bo''s method. With the talismans provided by Mi Xiaojing, the little guy was extremely arrogant in his heart. And he always felt that once he started fighting, he absolutely couldn''t embarrass Mi Xiaojing. Even if he died in battle, he had to die standing, die with a smile! He had to bite off a piece of the enemy''s flesh before dying!


    In battles between low-level cultivators, talismans yed a very important role. Once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the effect of low-level talismans became minimal. From the Foundation Establishment stage to the Elemental Infant stage, talismans were generally not used much. However, after entering the Nascent Soul stage, the role of talismans changed again. At this time, powerful talismans could be refined.


    So when Luo Bo threw out so many talismans, it gave people a feeling of extreme extravagance. These were all money, or rather, Spirit Stones. They had never seen such a fight before.Wu Tianchu was in a terrible situation. He was frantically trying to defend himself, but the sheer number of talismansing at him was overwhelming. Even with his remarkable strength, he couldn''t hold them off. Two consecutive fireballs hit him, setting him aze and causing him to scream in pain.


    His Magical Sword danced wildly as he screamed and swung his sword, one hand desperately patting at his burning clothes.


    Luo Bo didn''t utter a word. He simply stepped forward and thrust his sword, striking Wu Tianchu''s shoulder and startling him into a somersault.


    "Stop!"


    But how could Luo Bo possibly stop? He pursued swiftly, a dark shadow flickering as he charged headlong.


    Wu Tianchu had his back to him, having justpleted a somersault. Before he could turn around, Luo Bo rammed into his waist, sending him hurtling forward. Luo Bo''s hand mmed onto the ground, and he charged again.

 Chapter 110: Apology

    <h4>Chapter 110: Apology</h4>


    With this low-level fight, the viewers felt a sense of brutality and thought that this little guy was a monster, a lunatic, and had a mental illness.


    Wu Tianchu stumbled forward a few steps, unable to turn around in time, and was pushed on his waist. Finally, he kicked backwards, but the posture was ugly, like a dog kicking its legs back to urinate.


    Luo Bo was caught off guard and was kicked directly, making him scream in anger.


    "You little bastard! You worthless piece of shit! Why don''t you go die!"


    Everyone understood the first two sentences, but what does "worthless piece of shit" mean? When did Wu Tianchu be a worthless piece of shit?


    Mi Xiaojing understood, Luo Bo must have been called this when he was beaten at home before. Luo Bo probably thought this was the most powerful insult.


    Mo Yuer chuckled. It was the first time she heard someone insult someone like this, and it was really unexpected.


    Seeing Mo Yuerugh, the othersughed along, although they didn''t know what Mo Yuer wasughing about.


    Wu Tianchu regretted it in his heart. It was not honorable to fight with a child. If he won, it would be shameful, and if he lost, it would be even more embarrassing. It would be better not to fight. He pretended not to hear Luo Bo''s insults and said, "That''s enough. This is not a fight, this is recklessness! This habit is not good."


    Although Luo Bo didn''t win the fight, he was excited. This was his first battle, and this one battle made himpletely fall in love with this feeling. Fighting, or rather, recklessness, felt really good and exciting.


    "Of course you have to fight recklessly, you coward... Come on, fight me again!"


    Luo Bo was not satisfied and wanted to fight again. He saw that Wu Tianchu didn''t react, so he said, "Who wants to fight? Come on! Fight me!"


    Those low-level cultivators really didn''t want toe up and teach him a lesson. They were really scared by the madness of this little guy. It was not cost-effective to fight with a lunatic.


    Mi Xiaojing stepped forward and pulled Luo Bo, saying, "Why fight?"


    Luo Bo pointed at a sneaky guy hiding in the crowd and said, "He insulted Afu..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Why did he insult Afu... Hey, you,e here!" He pointed at that person and waved.


    That person saw Mi Xiaojing and knew it was not good. Judging from his attire, Mi Xiaojing was wearing the clothes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect, which could avoid offending disciples.


    That person looked to Mo Yuer for help with his eyes.


    Mo Yuer looked indifferent and said, "What are you looking at me for? Go!" After guessing Mi Xiaojing''s identity, her thoughts had changed. Regardless of the situation, it was a matter of face to have a good rtionship with a Pill Master. She knew that many Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators wanted to know Mi Xiaojing.


    That person was dumbfounded.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at him and said impatiently, "What? Can''t youe over?"


    That person reluctantly walked to Mi Xiaojing. Mi Xiaojing didn''t intend to bully him, he just asked, "Why did you insult someone?"


    "I... I..."


    He couldn''t exin clearly. Did insulting someone require a reason? If you didn''t like someone, you insulted them. Who knew that these few people had a Foundation Establishment expert backing them up? He didn''t expect that a few insults would lead to a fight. He didn''t want to suffer any losses.


    Mi Xiaojing frowned. He was not a violent person, and he couldn''t find a suitable solution after thinking about it. Did he have to beat him up, or even worse, kill him? This was something he couldn''t do.


    "This matter ends here, but the premise is that you have to apologize!"


    That guy was also a shameless person. When he heard this solution, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Apologize? That was too easy. Just touch his lips together, and he would apologize without losing a single hair.


    "Ah, little junior brother, I''m sorry, I''m a jerk, don''t mind me..."


    Everyone was speechless, even the guy''s group had no face. This guy really had no shame!


    Although Mo Yuer was not part of their group, she also found it boring and turned around to leave. If it wasn''t for Mi Xiaojing being valued by the sect, she wouldn''t mind suppressing the other party. It waspletely not worth it now.


    Out of sight, out of mind, Mo Yuer had no choice but to leave.


    Seeing Mo Yuer leave, the tterers followed suit. Mi Xiaojing found it funny. Was this matter really over? But this experience made him realize that in the cultivation world, strength really spoke.


    Mi Xiaojing patted Luo Bo''s head and said, "Don''t fight so recklessly, it''s not worth it."


    Luo Bo knew that Xiao Mi gege cared about him, so he said, "I like it this way..."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless, but he didn''t want to force it. He just said, "Prepare more moves. Even if you fight recklessly, you should have some confidence."


    Luo Bo nodded vigorously. Actually, when he really fought, he didn''t care about anything else. Fighting was his excitement. This time, he was a bit addicted.


    This feeling really fascinated Luo Bo. He didn''t know why, but once he started fighting, he couldn''t control his excitement.


    "Let''s go home!"


    Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Little Shishu, I can''t stop him..."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It''s okay, let''s go home." He had already regarded these people as his own. No matter what they did, he wouldn''t do anything to them. Besides, it wasn''t Luo Bo''s fault in this matter. Even if Luo Bo was at fault, he would continue to be at fault. Mi Xiaojing was very clear about this.


    In other words, Mi Xiaojing was extremely protective of his own people. He knew very well that in the cultivation world, besides strength, there was only strength if you wanted to protect your own. He was not qualified to protect his own yet, his strength was not enough.


    If it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator bullying Luo Bo, Mi Xiaojing could still fight back. If it was a Core Formation or even Elemental Infant cultivator, let alone fighting back, he would have a hard time protecting his own life.


    "After you go back, practice seriously... and promote as soon as possible!"


    Mi Xiaojing also realized that if everyone''s strength improved, they would not be a burden, but a help.


    Back at the Gathering Spring Courtyard, Mao Tou ran over with a cold, icy bead and said, "Xiao Mi gege, I found a bead in the backyard... It''s cold, what is this?"


    Luo Bo chuckled, "Kid, what kind of bead is this... Ah, it''s indeed icy cold!" He reached out to touch it, immediately retracting his hand. The piercing cold made him shiver involuntarily, "Kid, aren''t you cold?"


    The kid nonchntly held the bead, dismissively saying, "It just feels a bit icy, I don''t think it''s that cold."


    Mi Xiaojing reached out to pick up the bead, a bone-chilling coldness piercing his palm. It was a kind of coldness that carried a ghostly aura, immediately putting Mi Xiaojing on alert.


    A ghost bead!

 Chapter 111: Water Luoze

    <h4>Chapter 111: Water Luoze</h4>


    Ghost Bead!


    In an instant, these two words shed through his mind.


    Indeed, this was a Ghost Bead. Strictly speaking, it was a bead without a ghost residing in it. Ghost Beads were usually refined by experts using extremely cold materials. If a ghost had a Ghost Bead, their strength could increase, and they could also cultivate within the bead. For cultivators, a Ghost Bead was just an ordinary item, but for ghosts, it was a priceless treasure.


    The Gathering Spring Monastery was where Elemental Infants resided. Who would dare to live here? Not to mention little ghosts, even big ghosts wouldn''t dare toe here. Any ghost that came here was seeking death.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s an empty Ghost Bead, not bad. I wonder who left it in the backyard. If I can catch a ghost in the future, this would be a good storage item."


    This Ghost Bead wasn''t big, about the size of an egg. It was oval-shaped, slightly pointed on one end and smooth on the other. It had a ck color with a hint of blue, and upon closer inspection, there were small dark green dots on it, simr to the dots made by a needle. It was quite eerie.


    Maotou was overjoyed and jumped up, saying, "Ghosts! I''ve heard of them, and I like ghosts... I like them the most! Xiaomi gege, can you help me catch ghosts in the future?"


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless. It was normal for someone to like dogs or cats, but it was strange for a child to like ghosts.


    "Alright, alright, if I have the chance in the future, I''ll catch a ghost for you to y with... Haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but burst intoughter. Only cultivators could say something like catching a ghost to y with.


    Dazhu said, "Maomao, let''s y something else. Don''t y with ghosts. I''m scared of ghosts..."


    Maotou''s head shook vigorously. "No, no, I want to y with ghosts. I like them!"


    Dazhu shivered and took a few steps back, as if he wanted to distance himself from Maotou. He really didn''t like ghosts, and he was even a little afraid. He didn''t know when he had been traumatized by a ghost.


    Luo Bo wasn''t afraid either. For some reason, since following Mi Xiaojing, his courage had grown and he smiled more.


    "Alright, alright, Xiaomi gege, I want a little ghost too!"


    Mi Xiaojing said impatiently, "You think there are ghosts everywhere... Let''s talk about itter. I can''t even leave the sect, where can I find a ghost? In an environment like the sect, no ghost can survive. They''ve all been captured a long time ago, and even if there are ghosts, they belong to someone."


    Luo Bo grinned, "It doesn''t matter for now. What I mean is, if Xiaomi gege encounters a ghost..."


    Mi Xiaojing flicked Luo Bo''s forehead with his finger. "You''re the one who encountered a ghost!"


    Everyoneughed, and Zhang Ke said, "In our vige, if you encounter a ghost, it''s considered unlucky!"


    Luo Bo didn''t understand this and touched his head,ughing foolishly. "I was just joking, hehe, Xiaomi gege, if there''s a chance in the future, I want one too."


    Dazhu couldn''t understand why everyone liked ying with ghosts. He thought that if he saw a ghost, he would probably be scared to death.


    Mi Xiaojing then handed the Ghost Bead to Maotou and said, "You should keep it for now. If you find it inconvenient to hold, you can put it in Luo Bo''s storage bag."


    Maotou shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I want to hold it. I like this cold feeling!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "From today onwards, everyone should cultivate seriously. As for pills and cultivation techniques, I will find them for everyone. Zhang Ke, you will be in charge of supervision. And you should also work hard in your cultivation. Since you have already started cultivating, and the conditions are better than those in the Western Expansion Sect, you should strive even harder."


    Although Zhang Ke was older, he still listened to Mi Xiaojing''s words. He said, "Junior Martial Uncle, don''t worry, I will supervise their cultivation."


    ...............


    Shuiluo Marsh, a vast swamp divided by more than a dozen rivers, with water vapor evaporating and mist lingering all year round.


    This ce was well-known among high-level cultivators and was the residence of a Great Perfection Elemental Infant expert. He had been secluded here for over sixty years but had failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.


    The Nascent Soul stage referred to the formation of an independent Divine Sense and sessfully projecting it out of the body. If one''s Divine Sense couldn''t be independent, it meant they couldn''t break through.


    There were several ways to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. One was to rely on Spirit Pills, such as the famous Yang Shen Pill in the cultivation world, or the Water Essence Pill, and the more advanced Divine Essence Pill.


    The other way was to rely on pure Spiritual Qi, which was liquefied Spiritual Qi, to nourish the Divine Sense gradually and project it out of the body. This method was generally considered ast resort and was not very effective.


    On this day, three sword lights shed across the sky, and three people appeared at the edge of Shuiluo Marsh.


    These three people were the three Elders of the Vast Gold Sect, Sha Shen, Ban Jin, and Oni.


    Sha Shen said, "This is it. This is where Old Xu... Xu Zhongqing is secluded."


    Oni asked, "I wonder if he''s willing to help."


    Sha Shen said, "He has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and needs a Spirit Pill. Luckily, I have one! I believe he wille out."Ouni was greatly shocked: "Senior Brother, how could you take out the Divine Pill? Our sect only has this one left, you need it to break through to the Divided Spirit stage!"


    Banjin also became anxious: "Senior Brother, I disagree too!"


    Radix Notoginseng said: "How long it will take for me to advance to the Divided Spirit stage... You all know it too. From the Elemental Infant stage to the Divided Spirit stage, it''s a watershed, it''s the threshold to truly step into the top cultivators. It''s not that easy to cross over. A Divine Pill can only increase some hope of advancement, but it doesn''t guarantee that I can advance."


    "But if I use this pill, I can exchange it for a master who is no less than me, why not?"


    Ouni was silent for a moment, then said: "If we give away this Spirit Pill, there will be even less hope of advancing... I, I can''t ept it!"


    If a sect has a master at the Divided Spirit stage, it means that the sect can expand and upy a high position among the cultivation sects.


    "I know what you''re saying, but I also know what we need! Enough, I''ve made my decision."


    Ouni sighed, Banjin clenched his fists tightly, he gritted his teeth and said: "It''s all because of the Heart Sect! I will destroy them!"


    Radix Notoginseng flew a little distance forward.


    "Old Xu... are you there?"


    His voice was deep and resonant, echoing from afar.


    "Who?"


    The voice clearly rang in the ears of the three.


    "It''s me, Radix Notoginseng!"


    Suddenly, the mist covering the water Luoze began to roll, and a passage appeared in the mist after a moment.


    "Come in!"

 Chapter 112: Helper

    <h4>Chapter 112: Helper</h4>


    The three of them turned into three sword lights and shot in an instant.


    A very simple wooden shed, a seven-foot square water pool, the water in this pool is the spiritual liquid formed by spiritual qi, and a thin old man hangs above the water pool.


    This old man is Xu Zhongqing. He looks extremely weak, with two white longevity eyebrows that have drooped to his cheekbones, and dense wrinkles on his face, showing the invasion of time. Even though he is a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant realm, if he doesn''t break through, he will still die. Of course, this kind of death is physical death, and the Elemental Infant will be fine.


    When Sand Shen and the others saw Xu Zhongqing, they were all surprised. His changes were too great, and they all knew that this guy should not have much lifespan left. Otherwise, his appearance would not have changed so dramatically. Xu Zhongqing, more than ten years ago, still looked like a young man.


    Sand Shen cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, are you well?"


    A bitter smile appeared on Xu Zhongqing''s face. He shook his head and said, "Not good. You saw it too. If I can''t break through this time, I won''t be able to make it through..."


    Sand Shen asked, "Is there no other way?"


    Xu Zhongqing sighed and remained silent. If there was another way, he wouldn''t have been sitting here for decades.


    Suddenly, Sand Shen smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I have a Seed God Pill here..."


    Xu Zhongqing trembled all over, his eyes shining as he stared at Sand Shen. He still didn''t speak. After mixing in the cultivation world for so long, he naturally knew that everything came with a price. Since Sand Shen took out the Seed God Pill, he must have something to ask of him. So as long as he listened, it would be fine.


    Sand Shen smiled and looked at Xu Zhongqing, saying, "What? Not interested? If you''re not interested, forget it..."


    "Tell me, what are the conditions?"


    "The conditions are not high. You know that our Vast Gold Sect has beenpletely destroyed, so..."


    "Who destroyed your Vast Gold Sect? Are you inviting me to... take revenge?"


    "Yes!"


    Xu Zhongqing pondered for a while, and in the end, he agreed. The significance of the Seed God Pill was significant. It could be said that this was hisst chance. If he gave up, he didn''t know how much longer he could hold on.


    "Good! Give me the Seed God Pill!"


    "Hehe, Senior Brother, are you joking?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "After taking revenge, I can give it to you!"


    Oni couldn''t help but say, "If you ept the divine pill but don''t do your best, we will be in trouble..."


    Xu Zhongqing sighed in his heart. He naturally understood what the other party meant. In fact, he didn''t want to have a deadly feud with the Sword Heart Sect. In the cultivation world, having too many enemies was not a good thing.


    But thinking that he was just one step away from advancing, he had to obtain the Seed God Pill no matter what. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree!" He wasn''t afraid that the other party would break their promise. He must know that he himself was also a top Elemental Infant stage cultivator. If the other party didn''t give him the Seed God Pill after taking revenge, he had the strength to make the other party suffer.


    "Okay, give it to me after it''s done. But first, let me see the Seed God Pill!"


    If he didn''t even see the divine pill and foolishly went to help someone take revenge, Xu Zhongqing wouldn''t be that foolish.


    Without any hesitation, Sand Shen took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xu Zhongqing. He wasn''t afraid of Xu Zhongqing at all. After all, they were three Elemental Infant stage cultivators now. If they joined forces, Xu Zhongqing wouldn''t be able to handle it.


    Unsealing the jade bottle, Xu Zhongqing immediately confirmed that this was indeed the Seed God Pill. An excited expression appeared on his face.


    Even if it was a low-grade Seed God Pill, it gave Xu Zhongqing hope of advancing. He had been trapped in this realm for nearly a hundred years and couldn''t advance. In the end, he was forced to use the most clumsy method. After decades, he still had no hope. He was almost desperate.


    At this moment, a Seed God Pill appeared. Xu Zhongqing couldn''t let it go no matter what.


    Not to mention helping others take revenge, he would ept any conditions. This was hisst hope. It had to be said that Sand Shen was also a ruthless person. He gave away the Seed God Pill just like that. For the sake of revenge, he disregarded everything.


    Reluctantly, Xu Zhongqing returned the jade bottle to Sand Shen and said, "Who else?" He believed that the other party must have invited more than just him. After all, the Sword Heart Sect was not a weak sect. On Cangmin Star, the Sword Heart Sect was considered a good cultivation sect.


    Sand Shen said, "I also invited two experts to help."


    "Who?"


    Sand Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "Da Tou Zheng Tong, Qian Du Qian."


    Xu Zhongqing knew Da Tou Zheng Tong. This person was a cultivator at thete Elemental Infant stage, a strange-tempered guy. But he really didn''t know Qian Du Qian.


    "Qian Du Qian? Who is that?"


    "Qian Du Qian is not a cultivator, but an Evolutionary Immortality expert... a master at the Ascension stage. His strength is not weaker than ours!"


    Xu Zhongqing showed an incredulous expression. "An Evolutionary Immortality expert? You can find someone like that. That''s amazing!"


    Sand Shen said indifferently, "What''s wrong with Evolutionary Immortality? When Evolutionary Immortality reaches the Ascension stage, it''s almost the same as us reaching the Elemental Infant stage."


    Xu Zhongqing was still a little confused. He asked, "But the rtionship between Evolutionary Immortality and us cultivators is not good. How did you find this person to help?"


    Sand Shen sneered, "It''s simple. One of this person''s Evolutionary Immortality friends died, killed by the Sword Heart Sect. Hmm, it should be the Evolutionary Immortality sect of one of his friends that was destroyed. So... I easily obtained his promise to attack the Sword Heart Sect together."


    Xu Zhongqing said, "I see. Cultivation sects often attack Evolutionary Immortality sects. It''s normal to have grudges." It was really amon thing for cultivators to kill Evolutionary Immortality experts. Moreover, what was even more excessive was that they often wiped out their sects and exterminated high-level Evolutionary Immortality experts, seizing low-level Evolutionary Immortality disciples.Radix Notoginseng said, "The key is that Thousand Poisons, who is involved in this, is not a legitimate Evolutionary Immortal. This guy has longbined Cultivation with crooked methods, creating his own means. In the realm of Evolutionary Immortality, he is a notorious figure, not recognized by the Evolutionary Immortals."


    Xu Zhongqing expressed surprise, "Oh, there are such people who canbine the two? Besides, isn''t Evolutionary Immortality supposed to be benevolent? Isn''t this guy?"


    Radix Notoginsengughed heartily, "Haha, this guy is benevolent? He is aplete scoundrel, an absolutely shameless fellow, more radical than a Cultivator, a downright shameless beast."


    Xu Zhongqing nodded, "Who else besides these people?"


    Radix Notoginseng said, "That should be enough, just these many people for now. If we can''t take down the Heart Sect, we''ll see."


    Xu Zhongqing smiled bitterly in his heart, this elixir was not easy to obtain.


    "When are we going?"


    Radix Notoginseng sneered, "Soon, very soon... Once we are ready, let the people of the Heart Sect rx a bit. Hehe, after a while, they will becent, then we will go!"


    "Hehe, I know a master, you can invite him, but the price will be high... A master in the Divided Spirit stage, also a super money-lover."


    Xu Zhongqing chuckled, he believed that Radix Notoginseng would take the bait.


    Radix Notoginseng''s eyes lit up, no matter what the price, he was willing to pay. If there was a master in the Divided Spirit stage, the Heart Sect would not be able to resist, even if they activated their defensive sword formation.


    "Help me get in touch, we''ll go visit, how can we know if we can make a deal without trying!"

 Chapter 113: Half a year

    <h4>Chapter 113: Half a year</h4>


    With the recovery of the injuries of Yu Hong, the elder of the Sword Heart Sect, the sect has closed the mountain protection formation. With the closure of the formation, arge amount of spirit stones can be saved, and the spiritual qi within the sect can also be restored, which is very beneficial for the cultivation of the sect''s disciples.


    Being in seclusion for a long time has caused great losses to the sect.


    With the closure of the mountain protection formation,munication between the inside and outside of the sect can resume. The sect''s manor outside will also transport arge amount of resources, and many disciples will start going out to perform sect missions.


    Meanwhile, Mi Xiaojing leads a peaceful life within the sect. Recently, he has been living afortable life in the sect. He is basically notcking in resources. With the support of the sect, he doesn''t even need to collect materials himself. Due to his high efficiency in alchemy, he has umted arge number of pills.


    However, in recent days, Mi Xiaojing has started to intensify his cultivation because he has found that alchemy consumes too much time and energy, which has hindered his cultivation progress.


    The Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky cultivates at an extremely fast speed. As long as one focuses on cultivation, no other cultivation method can catch up. The most important thing is that this cultivation method does not require abundant spiritual qi, which is very important because not every in this world has sufficient spiritual qi.


    While starlight is everywhere, absorbing the power of starlight is much easier than absorbing spiritual qi.


    For some reason, Mi Xiaojing has a feeling that the sect is unstable and there are hidden currents. This is a terrifying intuition, so he wants to seize the time to cultivate and gain more strength, which means more opportunities. He has graduallye to understand this principle.


    He spends two-thirds of his time cultivating and one-third of his time ascending. Mi Xiaojing hardly sleeps anymore.


    On this day, Mi Xiaojing is cultivating in the backyard. Although he doesn''t need a lot of spiritual qi, he is used to cultivating in the backyard because the abundant spiritual qi makes his breathingfortable. In addition, Zhang Ke and others also cultivate in the backyard, so it has be a gathering ce for everyone. During leisure time in cultivation, they can chat and discuss cultivation issues together, which can promote each other''s progress.


    Zhang Ke is rtively old and has a lowerprehension, but since he started cultivation, his brain has be more active. Although hisprehension is not high, it is barely enough to cope with the current cultivation. Moreover, he is honest and not afraid to ask when he doesn''t understand. He never feels embarrassed, whether he is asking Mi Xiaojing or Luo Bo.


    As they practice together, everyone has developed a habit of asking each other whenever they don''t understand. Since this ce is like their own home, they are close to each other. If someone understands something, they will exin it in detail.


    Zhang Ke has advanced from the Qi Refining Initial Stage to the Qi Refining Mid Stage. This step consumes more resources than ordinary cultivators, but Mi Xiaojing doesn''t mind. No matter how many resources it takes, he is willing to provide them. Although Zhang Ke calls him "Little Martial Uncle," in Mi Xiaojing''s heart, he sees Zhang Ke as an elder of his own family.


    Maotou and Dazhu have also reached the Qi Refining Initial Stage through cultivation, finally stepping into the lowest threshold of cultivation and bing cultivators.


    As for Luo Bo, his progress is the fastest. He has quickly advanced from the Qi Refining Late Stage to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. With some more time to umte, he can even strive for the Foundation Establishment Stage.


    Wu Fu''s cultivation speed is also extremely fast. He has already reached the Qi Refining Mid Stage, just like Zhang Ke. This speed surprises Mi Xiaojing.


    Based on this cultivation speed, Mi Xiaojing can predict that the strength of these people will definitely surpass that of ordinary disciples of the sect in the future.


    Due to therge consumption of Cultivating Essence Pills and the long absorption of starlight, Mi Xiaojing has already started to advance towards the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage.


    The most amazing thing is that the Mantra Banner with ten thousand characters has yed a role. It seems that the Mantra Banner can quickly filter out the harmful ingredients in the pills and also strengthen itself.


    In Mi Xiaojing''s body, the Mantra Banner is like a storage converter. The higher Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level, the stronger the Mantra Banner bes, bringing him more benefits. It is a virtuous cycle.


    Mi Xiaojing doesn''t know that the treasure of the Evolutionary Sect in his body has already helped him to an incredible extent. Without this treasure, he would not have been able to survive until now. Various crises have been silently resolved by this unique Mantra Banner.


    This is a set of evolution and cultivation. Evolutionary Immortality relies on the Mantra Banner, while cultivation relies on the Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky. And this method was provided by Wang Weijun, who was tricked into it by Mi Youran and Luo Mei. But it sessfully encouraged Mi Xiaojing to cultivate, forming the current situation where evolution and cultivation progress simultaneously. What''s even more wonderful is that the twoplement each other and promote each other''s growth.


    Even Mi Youran couldn''t have predicted such a result. However, Mi Youran once obtained a result: as long as Mi Xiaojing survives for ten years, the inevitable situation of his death will change. In other words, Mi Xiaojing currently doesn''t face much danger.


    Of course, no matter how urate the spection is, it cannot surpass unexpected events. Therefore, if the uracy of a spection can reach more than 60%, it can basically satisfy the spector. Mi Youran''s spections have an uracy rate of even 89%, which is already considered godlike.


    ................


    Half a year has passed, and the Sword Heart Sect inte summer appears unusually calm. In just half a year, Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation has once again broken through and reached the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage.Aside from a small amount of time spent on Alchemy, most of Mi Xiaojing''s time was devoted to Cultivation, with a portion reserved for Evolutionary Immortality. Both were progressing almost simultaneously.


    His Evolutionary Immortality had also advanced from the initial stage to the realm of adherence. Such a pace of cultivation left Wang Weijun speechless, and the frequency of his guidance gradually decreased.


    In his opinion, if Mi Xiaojing maintained this cultivation speed, the process of Foundation Establishment and bing an Elemental Infant would not take long. This was terrifying. If Mi Xiaojing reached the Elemental Infant stage, he felt that his chances of escaping would be truly difficult.


    Guiding Mi Xiaojing in Cultivation was not a problem, but the issue was, once Mi Xiaojing reached a certain height, how could he take over the little guy''s body?


    Wang Weijun began to regret. He was too generous with his inheritance at the beginning. In order to win Mi Xiaojing''s trust, he gave him all the good stuff, even passing on his own experience. This made Mi Xiaojing''s progress too great and his cultivation speed too fast, so fast that he could hardly control it.


    He only realized the risks involved recently, and his heart was suddenly filled with unease.


    However, it was a bitte to regret now. Only now did Wang Weijun understand how perverse the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was.

 Chapter 114: Mo Yuer comes to visit

    <h4>Chapter 114: Mo Yueres to visit</h4>


    When Wang Weijun obtained the Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky, his cultivation level was already very high, so it was impossible for him to abandon his cultivation to practice it. Therefore, he didn''t know how good this superior magical technique was.


    It wasn''t until he gave it to Mi Xiaojing that Wang Weijun realized that this superior cultivation method was definitely the top-level magical technique in the cultivation world. No wonder it didn''t conflict with Evolutionary Immortality. Thinking about Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality progressing side by side, Wang Weijun''s uneasiness began to grow.


    "Oh no, I was too confident... I''m risking my life now, what should I do..."


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    Mi Xiaojing could already monitor Wang Weijun at any time. With the increase in his cultivation level, he had already vaguely sensed the existence of the Mantra Banner. However, he didn''t know that it was a precious treasure from the Evolutionary Sect. He thought it was something he had cultivated himself.


    "Ah... Ah! Nothing, nothing... Hehe, nothing!"


    Wang Weijun was frightened. He couldn''t believe that Mi Xiaojing could already hear and see him. His cultivation level growth was too terrifying.


    Originally, in the Mantra Banner, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t perceive him. Now he felt like he was standing naked in the sunlight, with no secrets left.


    Mi Xiaojing wasn''t stupid. With the deepening of his cultivation and his understanding of the cultivation world, he began to have some understanding of why Wang Weijun was inside him. However, he remained calm, observing without revealing anything, and trying to understand the situation.


    More importantly, he focused on cultivation. Mi Xiaojing had his own persistence and ideas. He believed that as long as he reached a certain level, no one would be able to easily bully him.


    Seeing Wang Weijun in panic, Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment, but he remained indifferent, chatting casually and ignoring him.


    If Wang Weijun could sweat, he would probably be sweating profusely. He was a bit suspicious. Did the little guy discover something? He would have to be more cautious in the future!


    Mi Xiaojing got up and went to the front yard. He had been cultivating for a while and felt a bit tired, so he came to the front yard to move around a bit.


    Wei Fu and Mao Tou werepeting. Both of them had magical swords, creating a lively scene with their shing sounds.


    Luo Bo was guiding them, asionally reminding them, "Too slow, Mao Tou. When you retreat, you can''t go straight back, but sideways!"


    Zhang Ke sat on the side with a smiling face. He didn''t really like fighting, but watching the two kids fight, he was still very interested and cheered them on from time to time.


    Mi Xiaojing found a ce to sit down and quietly watched them fight. He encouraged this kind of thing. No matter what, experiencing more battles, even if it was their own people fighting, would help them improve theirbat skills and experience, so they wouldn''t be at a loss when they entered the battlefield.


    In the past six months, except for Zhang Ke, the four kids not only had to cultivate, but also constantly fight and train with each other. With their cultivation and battles, theirbat experience was rapidly improving.


    When Mi Xiaojing had free time, he would also give them guidance. Hisbat experience was not his own, but inherited from Wang Weijun. Therefore, hisbat experience was very rich, and he didn''t need to personally experience battles to be familiar with them.


    So Mi Xiaojing''s guidance could truly point out the key points, benefiting everyone. Many of Wang Weijun''s umtedbat experiences were imparted by Mi Xiaojing in this way.


    Various small techniques, various little tricks, and most importantly, the cultivation ofbat will.


    Sometimes, Mi Xiaojing would even personally participate in the guidance, but these moments were rtively rare because the gap between them and Mi Xiaojing was toorge.


    Mu Xiaoyin came out of her room, her face full of excitement. After half a year of arduous cultivation, she had reached the stage of the Edge Perception, equivalent to the middle andter stages of the Qi Refining period. This cultivation speed was considered extremely fast in the Evolutionary Sect.


    "I''ve made a breakthrough! Haha! I''ve made a breakthrough... Haha!"


    Sheughed recklessly. It could be seen that she had worked very hard in her cultivation. Even Mi Xiaojing was surprised by her cultivation speed, and Zhang Ke was a bit shocked. He couldn''t help shaking his head. Compared to her, he was far behind in bothprehension and talent.


    Mi Xiaojing now understood very well that when Evolutionary Immortality started, its martial power was almost nonexistent, especially the Edge Perception stage, which couldn''t bepared to the Qi Refining cultivators at all. Cultivators had many more means and were more inclined towards battles.


    Mu Xiaoyin didn''t care about how strong herbat power was. What she cared about was whether she could cultivate or not. If she couldn''t cultivate, being able to evolve was also very satisfying for her. After all, it was also a form of cultivation.


    Mi Xiaojing alsoughed heartily, "Congrattions, congrattions on breaking through, Senior Sister."


    Mu Xiaoyin raised her head proudly and said, "Did Junior Brother teach me well? Hehe, isn''t Senior Sister amazing?" Then she looked at the others.


    Zhang Ke immediately apuded, "Amazing, really amazing!"Luo Bo and the others were also congratting their sister, endlessly ttering her.


    Their seniority among them was quite chaotic. Mu Xiaoyin, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu called Zhang Ke as Uncle, or Fat Uncle, and called Mu Xiaoyin as Sister. Zhang Ke called Mi Xiaojing as Little Uncle Master, and Mi Xiaojing addressed Mu Xiaoyin as Senior Sister. Fortunately, people like Mi Xiaojing didn''t care about these formalities, they just called each other whatever came naturally.


    "Hehe, it''s so lively here... Can Ie in?"


    Mo Yuer stood at the door. Since her manor was nearby, she would asionally visit the Gathering Spring Vi in the past few months. During this time, everyone except Mi Xiaojing had be quite familiar with her.


    Mi Xiaojing had heard about her, of course. But he was always busy and rarely went out, spending most of his time cultivating in the backyard. When he first arrived at the Heart Sect, his impression of Mo Yuer was not good. The extremely arrogant young girl had left a deep impression on him. Now he knew that Mo Yuer was the Sect Leader''s daughter.


    It was said that Mo Chentian had paid a heavy price to have a descendant, and he had been extraordinarily doting on her since her birth.


    This was also why Mo Yuer had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age. Since she was a child, Mo Chentian had been helping her cleanse her marrow and change her constitution, and Spirit Pills were supplied without limit. This had forcibly elevated Mo Yuer to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, allowing her to truly step into the path of cultivation.


    In the sect, Mo Yuer''s fame was immense, and she was always surrounded by people wherever she went. However, when she visited the Gathering Spring Vi, she came and went alone, without a single attendant or steward by her side.


    Mi Xiaojing nced at her and then ignored her. He didn''t want to get close to Mo Yuer.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing stand up and walk into the room, Mo Yuer couldn''t help but feel angry. She didn''te here because she had feelings for Mi Xiaojing, but because she had heard about his prowess in Alchemy and wanted to get close to him and establish a good rtionship. However, she didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing had a very bad impression of her when he first entered the sect, and he was unwilling tomunicate with her.


    "Hey, Mi Xiaojing, I have something to talk to you about!"

 Chapter 115: Battle Reborn

    <h4>Chapter 115: Battle Reborn</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing stopped and turned to look at Mo Yuer. His curiosity was evident on his face, even someone like Mo Yuer, who was not good at reading people, could see it.


    Zhang Ke said, "Miss..."


    Mo Yuer took a few steps forward and said, "I want to exchange your Cultivating Essence Pill!"


    Mi Xiaojing calmly said, "I don''t have any at the moment!"


    Mo Yuer said, "I know you have a lot of materials for refining Cultivating Essence Pills. You should have some Cultivating Essence Pills." She suddenly understood and said, "I''m not asking for it for free. I can exchange it with Spirit Stones or other things. Is that okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing was currently hoarding Spirit Stones and materials. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Alright,e back in three days for the trade. Unless there are special materials, we''ll exchange with Spirit Stones. Also, I determine the price."


    Mo Yuer heard Mi Xiaojing''s response and walked into the room without hesitation. She stomped her feet in anger and muttered, "You little rascal! How dare you act high and mighty with me! It makes me so angry! What''s so great about being able to refine pills?"


    After Mo Yuer left, Mi Xiaojing stopped in his tracks and only sat back down after seeing her disappear through the gate.


    Zhang Ke whispered, "What''s wrong?"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "Let''s have less contact with her."


    Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Alright." He would listen to whatever Mi Xiaojing said.


    Mu Xiaoyin, on the other hand, remained silent. She knew Mo Yuer''s position in the sect, but she also didn''t like it when Mo Yuer came around for no reason. She couldn''t understand why Mo Yuer was interested in this ce.


    Mi Xiaojing had been to Tiang Scripture Pavilion a few times and found no cultivation techniques that were useful or suitable for him. Ever since he cultivated the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, other cultivation techniques werepletely useless to him.


    However, he did find suitable cultivation techniques for Mao Tou and Da Zhu.


    But Mi Xiaojing still found some good things in the Tiang Scripture Pavilion, such as ancient pill forms, talisman making, and descriptions of the cultivation world. Although he couldn''t learn them immediately, it was better to have some understanding than to know nothing at all.


    That day, Mi Xiaojing was in the courtyard holding a jade slip. It was a copy of a book about talisman making. Wang Weijun hadn''t passed down much knowledge about talismans to him, so he needed to supplement his learning.


    Ever since Wang Weijun became cautious and stopped teaching him random cultivation knowledge, Mi Xiaojing started searching for relevant content to learn on his own. He didn''t rely on Wang Weijun. He silently learned.


    From childhood, Mi Xiaojing knew that he couldn''t rely on anyone. He had to rely on himself for everything. It was good to have support, but he didn''t need to be discouraged if he didn''t have it. He just needed to slowly pursue it. This belief had deeply rooted in his heart.


    He worked hard to pursue and learn. During this time, Mi Xiaojing''s life was fulfilling and intense.


    Zhang Ke came out of the room. He wasn''t really focused on cultivation and had many misceneous tasks, so he only cultivated at night and rarely during the day. Luo Bo and the others were different. Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu spent most of their time cultivating in the backyard. With an unlimited supply of Spirit Pills, the four of them became cultivation maniacs.


    As for Mu Xiaoyin, she was even more abnormal. She often walked on the road, muttering to herself. She was reciting mantras and practicing evolutionary immortality. Since advancing, she never stopped and made use of every moment to cultivate.


    Zhang Ke said, "Thetest batch of materials has arrived. I kept them in the room. If you need them, Junior Martial Uncle, you can get them yourself."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Alright..." Before he could finish speaking, a loud thunderous sound came from a distance.


    The sound was extremely loud, causing the entire earth to tremble.


    Then the rm bells rang throughout the mountain peaks.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately stood up and flew into the air, instantly seeing smoke rising in the distance.


    Immediately, the entire sect began to shake. Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to go over there. When the city gate is on fire, it affects the fish in the pond. He immediately descended from the air and returned to the courtyard.


    At this time, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, and Mu Xiaoyin all ran out and stood in the courtyard, looking into the distance.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojingnd, Zhang Ke asked, "What''s going on?"


    "It seems like someone is attacking..." Mi Xiaojing said.


    Mu Xiaoyin asked, "Is it the same people asst time?"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "I don''t know, but it looks very powerful and terrifying!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three loud noises echoed through the valley.


    The earth shook!


    At this moment, the sect''s defensive formation finally started to activate.


    Countless sword shadows rose from the ground, so dense that they resembled raindrops in a storm. However, the raindrops fell from above, while the sword shadows rose from below. This spectacr scene left all the sect disciples in awe.


    In the Huiquan Courtyard, Mi Xiaojing was also amazed, and the others couldn''t close their mouths.


    .


    "Oh my god... What is this?"Everyone was terrified.


    Dazhu eximed in horror, "So many... so many swords!"


    "Terrifying... terrifying!"


    Zhang Ke was shocked, "Ah, if our Western Evolutionary Sect had such treasures back then, we wouldn''t have been afraid of anyone attacking us!"


    "The sound is too loud, it''s hurting my ears!"


    Whileining, Dazhu stood on his tiptoes to look into the distance.


    Countless sword shadows danced and rose into the sky. In an instant, the sky lit up as if the sun had fallen onto it. It was impossible to look directly at it, and the surroundings were filled with blinding white light.


    Everyone squinted their eyes, and Mi Xiaojing raised his hand to shield his eyes.


    Crack... Boom!


    A sh of light passed by, like a thunderbolt. Squinting, Mi Xiaojing saw a shadow being repelled by the sword formation.


    Then there were several loud noises, and one after another, the shadows were thrown away. This was the effect of the sword formation, directly repelling the invaders and preventing them from entering the sect.


    The activation of the mountain protection formation in this way was damaging to its foundation. The formation was almost forcibly activated, consuming a massive amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Qi. It was twice as energy-consuming as pre-activation. Some areas would require a lot of repairs in the future. This blow had severely damaged the vitality of the Heart Sect.


    The senior elders of the sect had all gone mad. The Vast Gold Sect was too hateful. They couldn''t quell their anger without killing them.


    At this moment, it was a do-or-die situation.


    Radix Notoginseng watched the mountain protection formation below with cold eyes. There were quite a few people hovering around him. He came prepared this time and attacked the formation''s core as soon as he arrived. However, this defensive formation was indeed powerful. Even theirbined attack couldn''t destroy it, and it even triggered the formation''s counterattack.

 Chapter 116: Urgent order from the sect

    <h4>Chapter 116: Urgent order from the sect</h4>


    Sha Shen and others are knowledgeable cultivators and naturally know that this attack has severely damaged the formation. If they continue to attack continuously, the formation will slowly deteriorate.


    Next to Sha Shen are Oni and Banjin, and behind them is Big Head Zheng Tong. This person really has a very big head. In fact, when he stands behind Sha Shen, his height is almost the same as Sha Shen''s. But with this big head, if he stands alone on the side, he looks like a child.


    His face is extremely pale, his eyes are big, and he looks a bit scary. There is a silver chain tied to his head, which is also a magic treasure. There is a nose ring on his nose, just like in the mortal world, where a nose ring is used to hold a bull''s nose.


    He is wearing shorts and a short shirt, exposing his arms and legs, which are very pale and slender.


    Beside Big Head Zheng Tong, there is also an old-looking person, whose appearance is even more peculiar.


    He is wearing an extremely gorgeous red robe, with deep red characters all over it. These characters are spirit scripts that flicker and move slowly on the robe. He is wearing a beast skin belt around his waist, and the belt is embedded with pieces of green jade. On the jade, there are also densely packed spirit scripts.


    With white hair draped over his shoulders, his face is full of wrinkles. Whenever he speaks, the wrinkles on his face tremble and wriggle, making him look very eerie. He has a pair of thick, ck hands, holding a string of prayer beads. These beads are quiterge, each one the size of a baby''s fist. There are a total of thirty-six beads, and they are made of some unknown material, emitting a dark blue color.


    His eyes emit an extremely sharp light, with almost no eyebrows. His wrinkled face looks even more strange.


    This is his evolutionary tool, which he has cherished and blessed for a lifetime.


    This person has a certain reputation in the Evolutionary Community and even in the Cultivation World. His name is Qian Duqian.


    A little further away, there is another person hanging alone. This person is Xu Zhongqing, a Great Perfection expert in the Elemental Infant stage, invited by Sha Shen using the Yang Shen Pill.


    There are a total of six experts in the Great Perfection stage, overlooking the Sword Heart Sect from the sky. Their joint attack just now has already shaken the foundation of the Mountain Protection Sword Formation. Although they were all bounced out of the formation, it also gave them infinite confidence.


    Sha Shen said, "Senior Brother Xu, I don''t know when Senior Li Zhengcang will arrive?"


    Li Zhengcang is the powerful expert in the Separation and Reunion stage that Xu Zhongqing helped to invite. Once he arrives, it will be difficult for the Mountain Protection Sword Formation of the Sword Heart Sect to stop them.


    .


    Xu Zhongqing smiled bitterly, "If he is interested, he wille. If he doesn''t want toe, we can''t urge him. Let''s not wait for him. Let''s attack the formation first and prevent them from repairing it until it is broken. If Senior Li can arrive in time, it would be best. Even if he can''t make it, we don''t have to wait."


    In fact, Sha Shen didn''t really expect Li Zhengcang toe. It is impossible to force a Separation and Reunion stage expert like him. Fortunately, they already have enough manpower here. As long as they break the Mountain Protection Sword Formation, the Sword Heart Sect will be like amb waiting to be ughtered. They can do whatever they want.


    ................


    The sect issued a summons, requiring all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and above to join and resist the invasion of external enemies. Of course, there are people who can be exempted from this, such as the three alchemy experts from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, Hong Qing, Chen Shouyi, and Mi Xiaojing. They are not consideredbat personnel in the summons.


    For the cultivators of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, their task is to provide spirit pills and support the cultivators in battle. This has already be an epted rule in the sect.


    Arge number of cultivators headed towards the mountain peak where the sect is located. Mi Xiaojing also had to go, although he is not abat personnel in the summons, he is a logistics personnel. He said, "I''m going to the main hall of the sect. Everyone should continue to cultivate at home and not go out. Well, it''s best to hide and cultivate."


    Unlike the previous courtyard, there is no hiding cave in the Gathering Spring Courtyard. After the previous courtyard, there is not only a cave, but also an underground cave. In the Gathering Spring Courtyard, the only thing avable is a small protective formation. This formation is connected to the Mountain Protection Sword Formation. Once the Mountain Protection Sword Formation is destroyed, this formation will also be destroyed.


    However, as this courtyard is located at the foot of the main peak of the sect and relies on the formation, it already has strong defensive power and is temporarily one of the safest ces in the sect.


    After giving some instructions, Mi Xiaojing left the courtyard and headed towards the main hall of the sect.


    This time, the summons is specifically for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and above, so those who came are all capable of flying. Regardless of speed, flying is always faster than walking. The sky is filled with various sword lights and various flying postures, which is eye-opening for Mi Xiaojing.


    Since Mi Xiaojing lives at the foot of the main peak of the sect, he is one of the first group of people to arrive at the main hall of the sect.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to attract attention, so after entering the hall, he quickly found a corner to sit down. There are many rush cushions on the ground, so he randomly picked one and ced it under his buttocks. Mi Xiaojing closed his eyes and contemted.One after another, cultivators entered the main hall. Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, only to realize that there were so many cultivators in the Heart Sect, all of whom were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, and many were Foundation Establishment Ancestors.


    After about half an hour, Elder Yu Hong, Sect Leader Mo Chentian, Elemental Infant stage Elder Mu Hengyuan, and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden walked in from the back hall. A tremendous pressure instantly suppressed the buzzing discussions.


    As the four of them entered, all the seated cultivators stood up.


    Mi Xiaojing also stood up, understanding in his heart that if a battle were to ur, the sect would definitely not send him to his death.


    Mo Chentian scanned the surroundings and said, "You all know that the Vast Gold Sect is attacking us. There''s nothing much to say. When you see anyone from the Vast Gold Sect, there''s only one word... Kill! Killing them all is your mission!"


    "Kill!"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled. So many cultivators shouting "kill" made a deafening sound that hurt his ears. He vigorously dug his ears and thought to himself, "What''s the use of shouting so loudly when they''re still attacking us?"


    Mo Chentian continued, "Yes! Kill!"


    Kill! Kill! Kill!


    Mi Xiaojing opened his mouth to join in, but no sound came out. Everyone else was shouting enthusiastically, so he decided not to join in the excitement.


    Mo Chentian looked at everyone with satisfaction. He felt that the morale of the Heart Sect was still high, but he also knew that if he told them about the six Elemental Infant stage experts outside, the people here would probably have more thoughts. Fortunately, they were still protected by therge formation, otherwise who knows how many people would be panicking.


    "Alright, let''s assign tasks now!"


    A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator walked out from the side and began to assign tasks.

 Chapter 117: Crisis

    <h4>Chapter 117: Crisis</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing found that this was a n assigned to the Mountain Guarding Great Sword Formation. He understood formations and knew that the operation of arge formation with cultivators waspletely different from an unmanned one. It was like a horse running, with someone controlling it and without someone controlling it, which werepletely different. With someone controlling it, it could reach its destination, but without someone controlling it, the horse would run wild.


    Groups of people immediately left the hall and headed towards the control position of the sword formation.


    Soon, hundreds of people were assigned tasks, and there were not many people left. Mi Xiaojing saw Hong Qing and Chen Shouyi, as well as some others who were probably cultivators with special skills, such as refining tools or refining talismans. The sect was reluctant to let them go into battle.


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly noticed that Hong Qing was staring at him. When Hong Qing saw Mi Xiaojing looking over, he quickly turned his head to avoid eye contact. But in an instant, Mi Xiaojing clearly saw the anger, jealousy, and hatred in his eyes.


    He really didn''t understand why this guy hated him.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was not afraid of him. Firstly, he had the support of the sect, and secondly, he felt that his strength had greatly increased, so he could resist a bit. It was not like in the Qi Refining stage, where there was a sense of powerlessness and frustration that made it impossible to fight. In the Cultivation World, the Qi Refining stage was just a punching bag, unable topete for anything, and was the lowest level.


    Not understanding, Mi Xiaojing asked Wang Weijun why Hong Qing hated him so much.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help butugh, "Hate you? No, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill you! Do you believe it? Haha, hahaha!"


    .


    "I, I don''t believe... There''s no reason, right? Killing someone always has a reason. I''ve only met him a few times, there''s no grudge between us, why would he want to kill me?"


    "You don''t even understand such a simple truth. If you mix in the Cultivation World, you''ll probably be eaten up! "


    "I don''t understand..."


    Mi Xiaojing was quite confused. He had a bad impression of Hong Qing and knew that this guy was unfriendly to him, but he never thought that this guy would want to kill him. He really didn''t believe it.


    Wang Weijun didn''t continue speaking. Some things could only be learned through experience, otherwise, he would still be naive. Fortunately, the little guy''s strength was good now, even if someone wanted to kill him, it wouldn''t be easy.


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. However, he still remained a little vignt in his heart.


    Mo Chentian said, "Shouyi, the people from Grass-Benevolence Hall don''t need to guard the formation. During this time, try to refine more spirit pills. Hmm, Mi Xiaojing doesn''t need to do these tasks." He specifically said this, causing Chen Shouyi''s eyelids to twitch.


    Then he assigned other tasks, including refining talismans and refining tools, all to strengthen the cultivators'' strength. At the same time, he ordered that all Qi Refining stage cultivators must not go out. Only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and above could go out. The big battle was imminent, and the sect had to maintain stability.


    Yu Hong, Mu Hengyuan, and the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent remained silent, sitting solemnly and watching Mo Chentian assign tasks.


    After everyone in the hall had left, Yu Hong said, "What should we do? I didn''t expect Vast Gold Sect to find so many helpers, and there are even experts from Evolutionary Sect..."


    Mu Hengyuan said, "You''re talking about Thousand Poisons Qian, he is not from Evolutionary Sect, nor is he from our Cultivation World. This guy is just a bastard. He kills Evolutionary Immortals when he sees them, and he kills cultivators when he sees them. As long as he doesn''t like someone, he kills them. But I didn''t expect him to be invited by Vast Gold Sect."


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Xu Zhongqing from the Water Luoze Sect was also invited. I don''t know what price Vast Gold Sect paid. This guy is at the Elemental Infant stage Great Perfection realm. How can we fight against him?"


    Yu Hong was also troubled. The enemy was too strong this time. Once the Mountain Guarding Great Formation was opened, the entire sect''s experts would probably not be able to withstand the attacks of these six powerful experts.


    "Our hired experts haven''t arrived yet. If that''s the case, we''re in trouble!"


    Mo Chentian said, "If it really doesn''t work... notify..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yu Hong.


    "Don''t alert him!"


    Mo Chentian smiled bitterly, "Alright!"


    Yu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Don''t alert him until the sect is destroyed!"


    Mo Chentian nodded, "Okay, but this time... I don''t know how it will turn out." He was feeling a bitplicated now.


    Due to the suddenness of the enemy''s arrival and theck of events during this period, they had all be careless. They were caught off guard, but fortunately, the Mountain Guarding Great Formation was activated in time. Although activating the formation caused great damage to it, it still blocked the opponents outside, giving them time to prepare for resistance.


    If there was no formation, the four of them would have to go and resist the enemy, and the sect would be inplete chaos.


    Mo Chentian said, "Senior Brother, you stay in the sect''s main hall, and the rest of us will control the formation to resist!"


    Mu Hengyuan sneered, "Don''t think that it''s impressive to hire experts. If we don''t kill them this time, our Heart Sect won''t be able to survive. We''re not afraid of anyone in our own backyard."


    Heart Sect had the advantage of timing, location, and people. Although their high-levelbat power was not enough, it was enough to fight against the enemy once, especially within the range of Heart Sect. After being arranged by the sect''s past experts, there were indeed many traps.


    To break through a sect, even if it was just a medium-sized sect, arge number of people were needed. Vast Gold Sect was eager for revenge, so they brought high-levelbat power. They wanted to inflict heavy damage on Heart Sect first, and then gradually consume the enemy''s strength until Heart Sect couldn''t hold on anymore, forcing them to fight to the death.


    On the other side, Mi Xiaojing left the hall, flew on his sword, and descended. His Gathering Spring Courtyard was at the foot of the mountain, so he quickly returned.


    Before hended in the courtyard, he saw a cultivator standing outside the gate. Mi Xiaojingnded outside the gate and asked, "Who are you looking for?"The low-level cultivator respectfully said, "Uncle Master, please go to the outside of the Grass-Benevolence Hall... um, someone is looking for you."


    Mi Xiaojing asked in surprise, "Who is looking for me?"


    The man replied, "It''s a senior... he said he wants to trade something, but I don''t know the specifics."


    Watching the man leave, Mi Xiaojing felt puzzled. Who was looking for him? What trade? He had a sense of inexplicable confusion.


    After some thought, Mi Xiaojing decided to fly to the Grass-Benevolence Hall on his sword. He went straight into the hall and asked around, but no one knew anything about it, and no one said they were looking for him.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing remembered that the man had mentioned the outside of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. He then proceeded to search outside the hall.

 Chapter 118: Hong Qing

    <h4>Chapter 118: Hong Qing</h4>


    Following the road, Mi Xiaojing quickly walked to the edge of a forest and saw a person standing there. He recognized this person as Hong Qing from Grass-Benevolence Hall. Could it be that Hong Qing was looking for him?


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing approaching, Hong Qing couldn''t help but smile.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately became alert. At this time, the sect was in chaos, and most of the cultivators had gone to the Sword Formation. There were not many cultivators left, especially those in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    After taking a nce at him, Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to provoke this person and turned to leave.


    "It''s me who''s looking for you!"


    Hong Qing said with a smile.


    Mi Xiaojing frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling about this and turned around, saying, "Senior Brother, do you need something?"


    Hong Qing beckoned and said, "Come over and talk." He was the senior brother, and although Mi Xiaojing was now valued by the elders, his basic rank was still below Hong Qing.


    Mi Xiaojing sped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother. If there''s something... please speak!" He didn''t move, not because he sensed any danger, but because he instinctively didn''t want to get close to this person.


    Hong Qing didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to just stand there, and he became impatient. He said sternly, "Mi Xiaojing, I asked you toe over. Why are you just standing there? ying dead?"


    Mi Xiaojing remained motionless and said calmly, "If you have something to say, I have other matters to attend to. If there''s nothing, I''ll leave..." He pretended to fly away.


    Hong Qing immediately became anxious. He sneered and said, "Mi Xiaojing, just because you have the protection of the sect doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want..."


    Mi Xiaojing found this statement inexplicable and asked, "Are you crazy? You called me over without mentioning anything. What do you intend to do?"


    "I called you over, can''t you hear?"


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly released his Thunderstrike Dagger and said coldly, "There''s a restraining prohibition in front of you. Do you think I can''t see it?" In fact, he really couldn''t see it; it was Wang Weijun who reminded him.


    Hong Qing''s expression changed immediately. It was the first time he realized how troublesome Mi Xiaojing could be. "Nonsense! Where is there a restraining prohibition?"


    Mi Xiaojing was about to fly away, but Hong Qing didn''t want to let him go. He had long been prepared to kill Mi Xiaojing during the chaos in the sect because Mi Xiaojing had already threatened his position and development.


    Even though Mi Xiaojing was now valued by the sect, if he suddenly disappeared during the chaos of a big battle, as long as he left no clues and kept his hands clean, Hong Qing believed that no one would be able to guess that he was the one who killed Mi Xiaojing.


    Normally, even if Hong Qing had the intention to kill someone, he wouldn''t dare to act. But now, with the sect in chaos and most of the experts gone to the Sword Formation, he had to seize the opportunity. There might not be another chance to kill Mi Xiaojing in the future.


    Mi Xiaojing saw the ferocious expression on Hong Qing''s face and immediately understood that this guy had ill intentions. However, he didn''t expect that Hong Qing wanted to kill him. But after assuming a defensive posture, the other party''s attitude changed and turned into an attacking posture.


    There was a huge difference in strength between the two. One was at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Although Mi Xiaojing had already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and had special cultivation techniques, he had no confidence in fighting against Hong Qing.


    "Fight him! This bastard makes me angry just looking at him! Kill him!"


    Wang Weijun jumped up and down, shouting. He had seen too many cultivators like Hong Qing in the cultivation world. Once someone blocked their path, they would kill and eliminate them. This simple and crude method was really popr in the cultivation world.


    "His cultivation level is higher than mine..."


    Mi Xiaojing distinguished in his heart, but before he could finish speaking, Hong Qing had already used a magical technique. In an instant, countless trees rose up around them, forming a Wood-Entangling Formation. This formation was notplicated and was activated by an Array Disk. It had a great effect on Qi Refining cultivators but was almost useless against Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    However, the Wood-Entangling Formation had one function, which was to iste sound. Any sound or movement of the battle couldn''t be heard outside the formation. As long as the formation was in ce, if you were inside, you couldn''t call for help or leave unless you could break the formation.


    Hong Qing used this Wood-Entangling Formation not to kill the enemy, but to conceal the act of killing.


    Mi Xiaojing''s face immediately turned red. He was truly angry. He already had some understanding of formations and naturally understood the purpose of this Wood-Entangling Formation.


    "Do you want to kill me silently?"


    "Haha, of course. Little brat, aren''t you living afortable life? I''ll let you be a ghost... no, I won''t even let you be a ghost! I''ll make your soulpletely dissipate. Boy, you can die now!"


    "Is that so? Just based on you?"


    "Haha, little brat, you''re quite arrogant! Haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing trembled his wrist, and a box appeared in his hand. He sneered, "Come and kill me! You old bastard!" He rarely cursed, but he couldn''t help but curse.


    Hong Qingughed coldly and said, "Good, you dare to curse me... Rest assured, you remnant of Western Expansion Sect. When I catch you, I''ll dig out your tongue first, then your eyes... Haha, at that time, you will feel how sad it is to be born in this world!"


    With a wave of his hand, Hong Qing''s flying sword shot out.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t move. The Thunderstrike Dagger protecting him swiftly rotated, blocking the attack. Continuous thunderous sounds echoed, instantly deflecting Hong Qing''s flying sword.


    But Hong Qing burst intoughter and said, "Kid, your dagger can only block me three times. After three times... your dagger will shatter. Haha, you stupid brat!"Mi Xiaojing paid him no mind, instead, he cast a magical technique. Following a series of techniquesbined with a spell, the box slid open automatically. Seven green shadows flew out at such a speed that even Mi Xiaojing only saw seven greenish shadows, which disappeared in a sh.


    Hong Qing''s second sword strike arrived, directly blocked by the Thunderstrike Dagger. Mi Xiaojing didn''t care whether the dagger was damaged or not, his goal was to block the attack at all costs, making it easier for him to set up the Qingmu Array.


    When the seven green shadows flew out, Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that fighting with his own strength against the opponent''s sword was almost certain death.


    Even if he didn''t die, Mi Xiaojing felt he couldn''t handle it. He didn''t dare to fight hard for now, and with the abnormal Qingmu Array in his hand, he decided without hesitation to use it to strangle the enemy.


    The second sword strike collided with the Thunderstrike Dagger, forcing Mi Xiaojing to step back a few steps. The impact made it hard for him to stand firm, but his goal had been achieved, the Qingmu Array was in ce.


    Hong Qing didn''t recognize the Qingmu Array, but instinctively felt that Mi Xiaojing shouldn''t be resisting him so hard. He sped up, using seventy percent of his cultivation level power. The entire sword began to shine with a dazzling light, and he shouted, "Take another strike from me!"


    Mi Xiaojingughed loudly, "Fool!"

 Chapter 119: Suppression

    <h4>Chapter 119: Suppression</h4>


    Hong Qing''s sword flew out, and he didn''t hold back at all. He intended to shatter Mi Xiaojing''s magical sword with one strike, so that he couldpletely control the life and death of the other party.


    This sword suddenly triggered the Green Wood Formation, and Hong Qing was shocked to find that Mi Xiaojing had disappeared.


    The Azure Green Great Wood Banner Formation, with seven elemental green wood banners!


    Once the elemental green wood banners were in ce, the entire formation was ready to go. When Mi Xiaojing cast the magical technique and activated it with an incantation, the entire formation instantly started running.


    As for the original Trapped Wood Formation, it was directly swallowed by the Green Wood Formation, leaving no trace behind.


    The moment the Green Wood Formation started running, Hong Qing''s flying sword lost control.


    The Green Wood Strangling instantly shattered Hong Qing''s flying sword. The force of this strangle was something he couldn''t resist.


    This was a formation refined by a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage, and Hong Qing''s flying sword belonged to the category of magical swords. If it were a top-grade magical sword, it might be able to withstand it slightly. However, Hong Qing''s magical sword was only of high quality, so it shattered directly.


    Mi Xiaojing''s voice came, "Your sword... is shattered! Haha!"


    Hong Qing was dumbfounded, and then he saw green giant trees appearing one by one, suspended in mid-air in a strange manner. On these green trees, tender green branches began to grow, but there were no leaves, only slender branches. This strange phenomenon made people feel extremely uneasy.


    It was not until this moment that Hong Qing finally understood that Mi Xiaojing possessed an extremely extraordinary formation treasure, and it was a mobile formation. The pressure brought by this formation made his whole body stiff.


    "What kind of formation is this? How dare you attack your senior? You..."


    "Shame on you!"


    Mi Xiaojing had no mercy for someone who wanted to kill him. Under the influence of Wang Weijun, his thoughts had undergone a significant change. If he were still in the Western Expansion Sect, even if he had the Green Wood Formation, he probably wouldn''t want to kill anyone. At most, he would just make the other party lose their ability to resist.


    But after the Western Expansion Sect was destroyed, he had a thorn in his heart, an unsatisfied thorn. At this moment, trapping the opponent was no longer simply about making the opponent lose theirbat power. It was about finding a way to kill them directly, because he had already understood that if he let Hong Qing go, it wouldn''t just be him facing danger. Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and even Mu Xiaoyin, his junior sister, would also face danger. He was no longer alone.


    Most importantly, Wang Weijun kept muttering in Mi Xiaojing''s mind, "Kill him, remember, you must kill him! If you don''t kill him, you will be killed!"


    Wang Weijun was familiar with human nature and familiar with Mi Xiaojing''s weaknesses. He continued to incite, "Not only will you be killed, Zhang Ke will be killed, Luo Bo will be killed, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, and even your junior sister Mu Xiaoyin will be killed! If you spare him... then forget everything I said!"


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyes turned red from his words. He wouldn''t agree to killing Zhang Ke and the others, even if it was just one of them. Originally, his intention to kill was not strong, but after being provoked by Wang Weijun like this, his killing intent suddenly soared.


    He absolutely couldn''t let him leave alive!


    Mi Xiaojing continuously cast several magical techniques and simultaneously chanted incantations.


    As an alchemist, Hong Qing did indeed have many good treasures hidden in his hands. Seeing the danger of the formation, he also had his own means.


    Countless branches fell from the green wood and suddenly turned into numerous sword shadows, rapidly circling in the air. Hong Qing looked at the sword shadows hovering above his head in despair. Although he was only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, his knowledge was quite good. He knew that this thing was still illusory. Once it became substantial, it would be the start of an attack.


    Hong Qing pressed his chest, and a red radiance flickered. Then, a half-body red armor appeared, floating directly on his upper body. This was a kind of defensive magic treasure, not a real armor, but a refined jade talisman defense formation. It was a delicate thing, a magical tool refined by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Then, he took out a stack of talismans and pped them on his body,yer byyer, activatingyers of talisman defenses, making him glow like a light bulb.


    Various types of defenses were activated by Hong Qing. He also took out a magical sword and started spinning it to protect himself. He dared not move now. This was the case with any formation. As long as he didn''t move, the formation would be gathering power and wouldn''t attack the people inside the formation.


    But this state wouldn''tst long. After all, there was someone controlling the formation inside. If he wanted to target Hong Qing, the formation would stillunch an attack.


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly see Hong Qing, but Hong Qing couldn''t see Mi Xiaojing. This was the difference and gap between the person controlling the formation and the person trapped inside.


    Seeing this guy fully armed and his defenses imprable, was it useful?


    And Wang Weijun kept provoking Mi Xiaojing non-stop."Ah, didn''t expect this, this guy is quite powerful. Once he breaks free, you''ll be in grave danger. Not every time will the enemy be foolish enough to enter the Qingmu formation... Such a rare opportunity, such a rare opportunity! If you don''t seize it, the one who will be unlucky is definitely you!"


    "And your whole family... will be in big trouble!"


    Wang Weijun added another sentence after some thought.


    The shadow of the sword suddenly fell, and Hong Qing was like a huge ma. The green sword shadow instantly solidified from illusion, and countless long swords crazily shot towards Hong Qing.


    Hong Qing was so scared that he screamed. A sense of regret suddenly rose in his heart, why did he have to trouble Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing had such a powerful sword formation, it was simply incredible. He could have easily captured Mi Xiaojing, but now he wanted to escape. However, he also knew that as long as he escaped from the range of this formation, he could regain the initiative.


    The dense sound of waves rang out, the defense formed by the talisman could not stop the green sword shadow at all. Layer afteryer of defense was worn away, scaring Hong Qing into constantly activating new talismans.


    Having been a Pill Master for so many years, he had obtained a lot of talismans. These things were very easy to activate, they could be activated with a p, so he deliberately kept quite a few.


    Layer afteryer of defensive talismans copsed, followed byyer afteryer of new defensive talismans being brushed out. Hong Qing looked around while brushing, the dense attack consumed a lot of his talismans, but couldn''t hurt him. The only thing that pained him was that the consumption was too fast.


    Surrounded by green sword shadows, Hong Qing couldn''t see the road at all, nor could he find the way out. He shouted, "Stop! Dare you murder your elder? If you kill me... the sect will find you!"


    A cold snort clearly reached Hong Qing''s ears, the disdainful meaning made Hong Qing go crazy.


    "You little brat, you don''t want to live. Wait till I catch you, I''ll make you wish you were dead!"


    Suddenly, a huge Qingmu directly hit him.


    Boom!

 Chapter 120: True Word Scapegoat Dolls

    <h4>Chapter 120: True Word Scapegoat Dolls</h4>


    One strike!


    All the defensive talismans on Hong Qing''s body copsed, and the immense force directly transmitted to him, causing Hong Qing to be sent flying.


    Before he couldnd, the second green wood struck again. Once the formation was formed, the seven green wood gs would transform into countless giant green woods. The collision was just the most basic method. Mi Xiaojing was annoyed by the disrespectful words of the other party, so he used the most clumsy attack.


    Although this attack was clumsy, its power was extremely terrifying. It was a head-on collision. If it were a Foundation Establishment stage expert who was surrounded, Mi Xiaojing would definitely not use this move. However, Hong Qing''s cultivation level was not enough, so he absolutely couldn''t withstand the impact of the green wood.


    Continuous collisions, all in mid-air, Hong Qing had nowhere to hide, and he was directly hit and spat out blood.


    Spitting outrge mouthfuls of blood, at this point, he still persisted in activating the talismans, otherwise he would be even more unable to bear it. Moreover, he didn''t dare to use the magical sword to resist. After seven or eight consecutive collisions, he couldn''t help but use the magical sword, attempting to shatter the green wood. However, the quality of the two was too different, and the magical sword couldn''t even leave a trace on the green wood before being shattered by it.


    Suddenly, the swirling green wood paused and no longer continued to attack. In an instant, Hong Qing fell from the sky like a rag.


    With a miserable scream, Hong Qingy on the ground, gasping heavily, with blood foam in his mouth. He understood in his heart that he had really hit a wall this time.


    Hong Qing deeply regretted it. If he had attacked directly from the beginning and killed the other party, not giving Mi Xiaojing a chance to release the banner formation, maybe he would still have a chance to win. But because he wanted to capture the opponent alive and obtain Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy techniques and secrets, he fell into this situation due to his greed.


    Ever since he heard that Mi Xiaojing could refine spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage, Hong Qing had been preparing. However, he didn''t expect that the Elder Yu Hong would actually give his separate courtyard to Mi Xiaojing, which disrupted his ns. It was not until the Vast Gold Sect attacked the sect that the entire sect fell into chaos, and he believed that the opportunity had finallye.


    Due to the sudden change, Hong Qing didn''t think much and directly used a very crude method to lure Mi Xiaojing out, intending to forcefully capture him and then take him to a hidden ce. He believed that with his methods, even if Mi Xiaojing was made of steel, he would still submit and reveal all the secrets of alchemy. As long as he mastered these alchemy secrets, Hong Qing believed that even if the sect''s ancestors found out it was him, they wouldn''t kill him. As long as he could refine spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage, he believed that the elders would definitely value him and give him the treatment intended for Mi Xiaojing. At that time, even Chen Shouyi would not be his opponent, because he would have the upper hand.


    All these beautiful ns turned into nothing after Mi Xiaojing released the green wood banner formation. Not to mention capturing and interrogating Mi Xiaojing, he might not even be able to save his own life. He was truly panicked this time.


    "Let''s talk... Junior Brother, you can''t do this! You can''t kill me!"


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing was full of contempt for Hong Qing. He couldn''t believe that there were such shameless people in this world. Originally, his intention to kill was not strong, but under the instigation of Wang Weijun, it grew stronger. However, upon hearing Hong Qing''s words, his intention to kill became even stronger. Leaving this person alive would definitely be a disaster.


    Kill!


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but shout loudly, and the magical technique in his hand changed. The entire green wood formation eruptedpletely.


    The green woods collided with each other, and strands of mes were generated in the collision. Drops of mes fell down, as if it was raining fire.


    Hong Qing finally couldn''t resist anymore. His face turned pale, and he pped his storage bag, summoning a puppet into his hand.


    When the puppet appeared, Hong Qing''s facepletely twisted. This was an extremely precious puppet. No one in the sect knew that he had this treasure. If it was discovered by the sect''s elders, he would not be able to keep it.


    This thing was not an item from the cultivation world, but a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect.


    The Mantra Substitute Puppet!


    Even in the Evolutionary Sect, it was an extremely rare treasure. No one knew where he got it from.


    After his refinement, this puppet could activate spells with the magical technique, and its spells had the effect of a mantra. The four-word spell was "You die, I live!"


    This spell was different from what cultivators used. It was a very clear four-word spell, somewhat resembling a mantra.


    "You die, I live!"


    That voice was filled with despair, and even Mi Xiaojing was stunned. It was extremely simr to a mantra, because mantras carried strong emotional colors, and these four words were the same. Mi Xiaojing was shocked and said, "Mantra?"


    In an instant, the puppet suddenly grew in size, with mantras swirling on it,pletely enveloping Hong Qing. The mantras erupted, instantly blocking the rain of fire.


    Mi Xiaojing confirmed that this was indeed a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect, but he didn''t recognize what it was. Even though he grew up in the Evolutionary Sect, he didn''t know many things about Evolutionary Immortality. The knowledge he currently obtained about Evolutionary Immortality was from the Ten Thousand Word Mantra Banner, but it was still not enough.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand, but it didn''t mean that Wang Weijun didn''t understand. "Huh! The Mantra Substitute Puppet! How does he have this treasure!" He couldn''t help but feel frustrated. If he had this treasure back then, he wouldn''t have been surrounded and killed, and he would have been able to escape long ago.


    "What''s a Mantra Substitute Puppet?"


    "You used to be from the Evolutionary Sect, and you don''t know this?"


    "Of course I don''t know!"


    He answered confidently. Mi Xiaojing was curious and asked, "What is a Mantra Substitute Puppet?" He then used a magical technique, causing the mes to gather and burn on the puppet, while Hong Qing stared fixedly at the direction where Mi Xiaojing was.


    "You brat... I won''t let you off! Wait until I break free this time, I will kill you! Rest assured, I won''t let you go!"


    That voice was like a wolf''s howl, sounding chilling.Wang Weijun said, "The Death Substitute Doll... a peculiar item from the Evolutionary Sect. It can rece its master''s death once, usually used in life-or-death situations. It can only be used once, after which the doll willpletely disappear... This thing is very famous, well-known throughout the Cultivation World. You''ve actually never heard of it, you''re really ignorant."


    "Ah, it''s that powerful? Can you refine it?"


    "Pah! Only those from the Evolutionary Sect who practice Evolutionary Immortality can refine such a thing. How could I refine it? Stop talking nonsense. If I could refine such a thing, I wouldn''t have died... Damn it, this little guy actually has such a treasure. But, he must hate you to death now, having used up the doll, hehe, that''s equivalent to a life!"


    Seeing that Hong Qing was still in the doll, surrounded by raging mes, he couldn''t be touched at all. Even if Xiaojing increased the power of the formation again, he still couldn''t do anything to him.

 Chapter 121: Mantra Banner Mutation

    <h4>Chapter 121: Mantra Banner Mutation</h4>


    Wang Weijun said, "Save it, there''s no need to increase the power of the formation. The substitute puppet is very powerful. Even a high-level cultivator in the Mahayana stage can''t do anything about it. Your Green Wood Formation is impossible to shake. It''s a pity, such a waste to use it on this little guy!"


    The Mantra Banner inside Mi Xiaojing''s body kept vibrating. Then, a chainposed of true mantras formed and extended from Mi Xiaojing''s arm. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing sensed that something was wrong, and Wang Weijun noticed it too.


    "Little guy, what are you doing?"


    "I don''t know!"


    Mi Xiaojing said inexplicably, and then his arm automatically lifted up,pletely out of his control. The extremely fine true mantra chain shot out like an arrow, instantly entangling the substitute puppet.


    The activation of the substitute puppet was originally fast, but in Hong Qing''s hands, it slowed down because he was not an Evolutionary Immortality cultivator.


    Moreover, because the puppet had been forcibly modified, the speed of activation became even slower. Until now, it still hadn''tpleted the activation. However, Hong Qing was not in a hurry because once the puppet started to activate, it would automatically protect the person activating it until the activation wasplete.


    The true mantra chain that extended from Mi Xiaojing''s body quickly entangled the substitute puppet, like a snake coiling around it. The speed was so fast that it reached its limit, and the true mantra chain directly pierced into the puppet.


    Hong Qing also saw this change and widened his eyes in astonishment, not knowing what was happening.


    The tip of the true mantra chain had already pierced in, and Hong Qing was astonished as he suddenly realized that his incantations and magical techniques were experiencing a dy. This was not a good thing. If he couldn''tplete the activation of the puppet, he would be in real trouble.


    Hong Qing had already taken several healing spirit pills, but his injuries were still severe. The impact of the Green Wood Formation was extraordinary. It had almost shattered all the bones in his body and affected his internal organs as well. That was why he was spitting blood mouthful by mouthful. At this moment, hisbat power was so weak that even Mi Xiaojing, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, would not be able to withstand it.


    At this point, Hong Qing was already extremely vulnerable. Even if he escaped, he would still have to worry about Mi Xiaojing''s pursuit.


    He stared fixedly at the true mantra chains, which were impossible to see clearly, but after they formed into chains, they became golden threads that emitted a brilliant golden light under the reflection of the Green Wood Formation.


    Hong Qing was shocked and terrified. What was this thing? He was truly afraid of Mi Xiaojing. How could he possess so many treasures?


    Mi Xiaojing waspletely stunned. The Green Wood Formation was still instinctively operating and consuming arge amount of his spirit stones, but he couldn''t move at all now. He could only watch the puppet.


    In just a dozen breaths of time, the true mantra chains formed by the true mantraspletely wrapped around the puppet. The whole puppet was shining with golden light, and Hong Qing couldn''t see anything outside anymore. All he could see was the golden light, which made his eyes squint.


    Wang Weijun was alsopletely dumbfounded. He knew that this was the doing of the Mantra Banner, but he didn''t know why the Mantra Banner would behave like this. It could actually activate on its own, and once it did, he realized it was not good. His Elemental Infant was rapidly deteriorating, which meant that the Mantra Banner was absorbing his energy.


    You should know that Wang Weijun had been diligently cultivating, and it was not easy for him to recover. He had finally made some progress, but now the Mantra Banner had reverted him back to his original state. He was so scared that he kept trembling.


    Actually, Wang Weijun was not so much scared as he was angry. He was really furious. The Mantra Banner was truly abnormal. He had always thought that as long as his own strength grew stronger again, he would have a chance to break free from the control of the Mantra Banner. He never expected it to be like this. He was filled with frustration, disappointment, and anger. He waspletely at a loss. He had been talking confidently just now, but now he didn''t say a word.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know about all these changes. The only thing he knew was that arge amount of information was being transmitted back from the extremely fine true mantra chains, directly flooding his mind.


    Due to the enormous amount of information, Mi Xiaojing waspletely overwhelmed and dizzy.


    It felt likemunication. This time onlysted a few seconds, but itpletely made Mi Xiaojing dizzy. There were stars dancing before his eyes, even more than when he practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art.


    Suddenly, Hong Qing''s vision cleared, and all the flickering golden light disappeared. His magical techniques and incantations began to flow smoothly, instantly boosting his spirits. Heughed heartily and said, "Kid... I''m leaving. Wait for my revenge!"


    In an instant, the puppet exploded, and countless true mantras burst out, shaking the entire Green Wood Formation.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t see Hong Qing anymore. He knew that this guy had already left the formation. It was magical that he seemed to understand how the puppet had done it.


    What''s going on?


    Mi Xiaojing was confused. Why did he know all this?


    Wang Weijun waspletely dumbfounded. He was even worse off than Hong Qing. His Elemental Infant was on the verge of copse, and he couldn''t say anything or do anything. It was as if he wouldpletely copse with the slightest movement. This feeling was driving him crazy.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t bear the consumption of spirit stones, so even though his head was spinning, he still performed a technique. The entire formation immediately began to calm down, and the green wood disappeared suddenly.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t stand anymore and sat down on his buttocks.


    There was no way. Mi Xiaojing needed to resolve this impact, so he began to recite the true mantras.A few minutester, Mi Xiaojing finally regained his rity. The dizziness was extremely ufortable, and even Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to experience it again. However, after his mind cleared, Mi Xiaojing found something extra in his mind: "Strange, what''s wrong?" He began to ponder.


    He then discovered that there was a tiny dot on his Heart Tower. Since the Heart Tower would sink into his Dan Tian when he was cultivating, his Divine Sense also sank into the Dan Tian to check. A tiny puppet appeared on the Heart Tower, its appearance was very peculiar, exactly the same as Mi Xiaojing''s current posture, sitting cross-legged.


    The puppet was made up of True Words. As Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense approached, he realized that the puppet''s appearance was his own, except it was golden, as if it had been coated with a thickyer of gold powder. If one looked closely, they could see the golden True Word Spirit Scripts, each tiny True Word Spirit Script forming this strange puppet.


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled in his heart, had he copied a death-substitute puppet?


    After pondering for a moment, Mi Xiaojing suddenly woke up, realizing this was definitely not a ce to stay for long. He immediately got up, took out a box, and cast a magical technique. Instantly, seven green shadows flew back andnded in the opened box.


    .

 Chapter 122: Refine Magical Sword

    <h4>Chapter 122: Refine Magical Sword</h4>


    In just a short period of time, it had consumed thousands of low-grade spirit stones. Mi Xiaojing felt extreme heartache, especially since Hong Qing was not killed. He hated Hong Qing even more.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing saw arge pit on the ground. He knew that it was formed by Hong Qing using a substitute puppet explosion. The phrase "you die, I live" left a deep impression on him.


    Looking into the distance, Mi Xiaojing knew that Hong Qing should have fallen in that direction, but the specific location was unclear. It was not suitable to chase and kill him now. From Hong Qing''s escape to Mi Xiaojing retracting the Green Wood Formation, quite some time had passed. It would be difficult to find Hong Qing now.


    Mi Xiaojing flew on his sword and headed towards the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    At this time, there were no more people flying in the sect. Almost all the experts were in the Sword Formation. Mi Xiaojingnded directly in his own courtyard.


    There was only Zhang Ke sitting there in a daze. When he saw Mi Xiaojing return, he hurriedly went up and asked, "Junior Martial Uncle, how is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly and said, "Don''t go out recently. By the way, is there enough food at home?"


    Zhang Ke nodded and said, "I have stored a lot of food. No matter what, it''s much better here than our Western Expansion Sect. We have plenty of food and everything else..."


    Then he said somewhat ashamedly, "I''m not saying that the Western Expansion Sect is not good, but in terms of food, daily necessities, and living conditions, this ce is really much better. There is plenty of food at home, and we have prepared a lot of clothes."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Although the food, daily necessities, and living conditions here are better than our Western Expansion Sect, the people here... are far worse than our masters in the Western Expansion Sect."


    Zhang Ke said, "Don''t mention the Western Expansion Sect. It''s heartbreaking..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m going to cultivate. It hasn''t been peaceful recently, and I need to improve my strength."


    Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of cultivation, sigh, I don''t know why, but I just can''t calm down and cultivate. I would rather cook than cultivate. You go ahead, they are all cultivating in the backyard."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and walked towards the backyard.


    Because there was a Three-Eyed Spirit Spring and aplete Gathering Spirit Array in the backyard, the spiritual energy there was extremely rich, often forming a fine misty rain of spiritual liquid.


    Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu were all sitting cross-legged in the pavilion. Only Mu Xiaoyin was still in her room cultivating. She was an Evolutionary Immortality cultivator and did not need such dense spiritual energy.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded secretly. They were all working hard and diligent. He was very satisfied in his heart. These children growing up would be the best helpers. That was why he worked hard to cultivate them. In fact, having helpers was secondary. He hoped that these children would have the ability to protect themselves in the future.


    This battle exposed many problems. First of all, the Magical Sword made from Thunder Gang Wood. Although it could be used, it stillcked something. It would be best to refine it again. He had already prepared all the materials, but he hadn''t had time to refine it again. In this battle, he didn''t even dare to take it out and use it.


    If he destroyed this Magical Sword, Mi Xiaojing would have nowhere to cry. This kind of material was hard toe by, and it was a stroke of luck to obtain it. Especially for a cultivator at his level, being able to obtain top-grade materials and have good refining skills, it would be a pity if he couldn''t produce a good weapon.


    The sword embryo made from Thunder Gang Wood had already taken shape a long time ago, and it already had some Thunder Spirit Patterns. However, at that time, Mi Xiaojing was only at the Qi Refining Great Perfection realm. Now, looking at it again, the refining of this sword seemed a bit hasty. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had temporarily stopped refining the tool when he found that his abilities were not enough. This was also the reason why he didn''t dare to use this Magical Sword.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing wanted to refine a suitable Magical Sword. With the Thunder Gang Wood, there would still be opportunities for improvement in the future. If he had enough materials and time, as well as sufficient abilities and cultivation level, this sword could even be a top-grade magical weapon. If Mi Xiaojing reached the Elemental Infant stage, he could still refine this sword again, and at that time, it might be a spiritual weapon, which was a high-level spiritual sword used by advanced cultivators.


    Taking out the materials, Mi Xiaojing began to contemte and figure out how to refine a sword that suited him better.


    Mi Xiaojing secretly called out to Wang Weijun, calling him several times in a row, but Wang Weijun did not respond and did not appear. He was very puzzled. Where did this old man go?


    He didn''t know that Wang Weijun was currently struggling to cultivate, trying to save his crumbling Elemental Infant. He was extremely restless and naturally didn''t pay attention to Mi Xiaojing.


    "Weird, where did he go?"


    Mi Xiaojing''s divine sense was in chaos inside his body, trying to find Wang Weijun, but he couldn''t figure out how to find him since Wang Weijun was in the Mantra Banner under the Heart Sect.


    Unable to find Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing was not discouraged. After all, he had already obtained the inheritance. As long as he was serious and worked hard, he could still refine his own Magical Sword. This sword would be his weapon in the future. If there were no particrly good options, he didn''t n to change it again. In fact, the Thunder-based Magical Sword was not very suitable for him.


    The power in Mi Xiaojing''s body was the power of the Starry Sky, not true qi or true essence. This kind of Magical Sword was more suitable for being driven by true qi and true essence. Although Mi Xiaojing could still make it work, there would not be any special enhancements.


    But at present, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t obtain better materials. He knew in his heart that to refine a sword that suited his Starry Sky power, he needed extremely rare materials. After obtaining the Qianyuan Art, there were records in the cultivation method on how to refine his own exclusive flying sword. However, the materials were all very rare, and it would be impossible to fulfill this wish in the Sword Heart Sect.


    As for an exclusive weapon, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have any ideas for now. No matter how good his refining skills were, they would be useless without materials. He could only focus on the Thunder Gang Wood sword embryo.


    Starting to arrange the Thunder Spirit Patterns again, after the previous refining, Mi Xiaojing had gradually be familiar with the Thunder Spirit Patterns. He was skilled in arranging them, and with his current increased strength, he was at least a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, much stronger than when he was at the Qi Refining Great Perfection realm. Moreover, he was now using the power of the Starry Sky, which was of a higher level than true qi and true essence.The arrangement this time feltpletely different to Mi Xiaojing. This was the gap in levels and realms. The difference in realms wasn''t too noticeable at the initial stages of cultivation, but after reaching the Foundation Establishment, the understanding of the realm would greatly differ. If one had goodprehension and a high level of understanding of the realm, their cultivation bottleneck would be small, and their cultivation aid would berge.


    For instance, if Wang Weijun were to sessfully seize a body, his cultivation speed might initially be simr to Mi Xiaojing''s current speed. However, once he establishes his foundation again and bes an infant again, his cultivation level would advance by leaps and bounds. It would be easy for him to reach his original strength level. Only then would his cultivation slow down.

 Chapter 123: Mantra Thunder Sword

    <h4>Chapter 123: Mantra Thunder Sword</h4>


    A series of Thunder Spirit Patterns quickly took shape, and the previous Thunder Spirit Patterns were also modified by Mi Xiaojing. This process was not slow, and Mi Xiaojing was very patient. He hoped that this magical sword could be perfect so that it could y a role in future battles.


    Hong Qing''s attackpletely awakened Mi Xiaojing. This ce was not his paradise.


    The reason why Mi Xiaojing continued to stay in the sect was because Luo Bo and the others were still young and not suitable for going out to experience the world. They would have to wait until they reached the Foundation Establishment stage before they were qualified to go out and travel. At that time, Mi Xiaojing might not return to the Sword Heart Sect.


    As time passed, a Spirit Pattern formed, followed by the formation of the second Spirit Pattern. This Spirit Pattern wasposed of twelve Thunder Spirit Patterns, which was already Mi Xiaojing''s greatest ability.


    Every time he refined, Mi Xiaojing tried to activate the Mantra to let its power invade the sword body, bringing along the power of Evolutionary Immortality. He didn''t know if this was good or not, but it was an opportunity that allowed him to simultaneously exert the power of cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality.


    The third Spirit Pattern formed, which wasposed of thirty-six Thunder Spirit Patterns. Mi Xiaojing carefully calcted that one side of the sword body formed six Spirit Patterns, leaving some empty space. However, he couldn''t form six Spirit Patterns on the sword body again, so he could only flip the sword body and refine the other side, which also required six Spirit Patterns.


    If all were refined, there would be twelve Spirit Patterns and one hundred and forty-four Thunder Spirit Patterns. This was the bottom line in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. Unfortunately, he couldn''t arrange eighteen Spirit Patterns on one side of the sword body. If he could, a total of thirty-six Spirit Patterns would be arranged on both sides of the sword body, making it a top-grade magical sword.


    Eight days passed in the blink of an eye. During these eight days, Mi Xiaojing focused on refining the tool and finally made his first magical sword that could be used in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it didn''t reach the level of a top-grade magical sword, its power was definitely not small. Because his magical sword was no longer a true magical sword.


    The magical sword, blessed with the Mantra, had not only thunder and lightning but also the power of the Mantra. Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied with this. As for the actual power, it still needed to be tested in battle. However, he had great expectations for this magical sword. After all, it was a weapon he had cultivated himself, and there was a natural tacit understanding between him and the magical sword.


    The sword body was pitch ck, and Thunder Spirit Patterns formed mysterious patterns. These patterns were extremely dense, but there was a nk space on the central ridge of the sword, which Mi Xiaojing left for the next refining. There were three Spirit Patterns on each side of the sword ridge.


    These three Spirit Patterns were intertwined, with tiny dots mixed in. Without using Divine Sense to check, one would not know that they were Mantra characters.


    The entire magical sword was like a river formed by four Spirit Patterns, extending from the hilt to the tip of the sword. Those tiny dots were like big fish swimming in the river, moving in groups.


    The sword ridge of the magical sword waspletely nk, revealing the essence of Thunder Gang wood. Mi Xiaojing had no way to change this. The rules of the Spirit Patterns were like this, and so was his ability. If he wanted to increase the Spirit Patterns, his ability would not be enough. This kind of thing couldn''t be forced.


    When he wiped the sword body with his hand, the dense thunder and lightning struck his fingertips, causing a tingling sensation as if countless tiny ants were biting him. When his fingertips slid across the sword tip, a thin arc was formed between the two, making a series of crackling sounds.


    Mi Xiaojing called Wang Weijun again, but unfortunately, he still didn''t get a response. He wanted Wang Weijun to appreciate the magical sword he had refined.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing himself didn''t realize that he had unknowingly be dependent on Wang Weijun.


    Mi Xiaojing''s wariness towards Wang Weijun also became lower and lower. Whenever something happened, he always wanted to discuss it with Wang Weijun. This was also because Wang Weijun had been helping him wholeheartedly during this period, giving Mi Xiaojing a great impression. Especially after inheriting so much experience in cultivation, refining tools, and alchemy, his strength had made great progress.


    Mi Xiaojing was a grateful person. Although he initially didn''t have good intentions towards Wang Weijun, with prolonged contact, he didn''t think this guy was a bad person. After all, Mi Xiaojing was still a child. He was not an old hand in the cultivation world.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that if it weren''t for the Mantra Banner restraining Wang Weijun, this guy would have already seeded. Unfortunately, with the Mantra Banner of ten thousand characters, even if Wang Weijun wanted to cause trouble, he couldn''t do it.


    Wang Weijun was like being roasted on fire. Now was a critical moment to get closer to Mi Xiaojing, but he was crazily cultivating. Suddenly, he was drained of a huge amount of energy, catching him off guard and almost causing his Elemental Infant to copse. He had to hide in the Mantra Banner to cultivate bitterly. As for Mi Xiaojing''s call, he did hear it, but he didn''t have the power to appear.


    What was even more troublesome was that Mi Xiaojing cultivated the Qianyuan Art of Starry Sky, which contained the power of Starry Sky instead of True Qi and True Essence. He didn''t even have a ce to borrow strength. Otherwise, with Mi Xiaojing''s True Qi, he might be able to stabilize the Elemental Infant that was on the verge of copse. Now, no one could be relied on, and he could only rely on his own efforts.


    Wang Weijun didn''t even have time to curse. He wholeheartedly cultivated, showing his strong will. Even at this point, he still didn''t give up. Fortunately, after the Mantra Banner extracted most of his power, it fell silentpletely. If the Mantra Banner continued to extract, it wouldn''t be long before hepletely copsed and became nourishment for the Mantra Banner.


    If the Elemental Infant could cry, Wang Weijun would really cry to death.


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn''t know what had happened to Wang Weijun. If he knew that Wang Weijun had almost copsed due to the extraction of power by the Mantra Banner, he would probably be dumbfounded.


    Unable to find Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing could only appreciate the magical sword he had just refined by himself.


    After the refining waspleted, this thing was very beautiful. After thinking for a long time, Mi Xiaojing decided to keep a low profile and gave it an extremely ordinary name that wouldn''t attract attention.


    Thunder Sword! To be more precise, it was the Mantra Thunder Sword.


    When Mi Xiaojing stood up, he realized that Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, and Mu Xiaoyin were all standing not far away, watching.Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing stand up, everyone immediately gathered around him. Zhang Ke even brought over arge te filled with food, saying, "Junior Uncle, you haven''t eaten for a long time..."


    .


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt his stomach rumbling with hunger. Ever since he started his cultivation, he had been eating less, but that didn''t mean he wouldn''t get hungry.


    "I''ll eat first, we can talk about other thingster."


    The meal was still simple. Mi Xiaojing didn''t eat meat, not because he didn''t like it, but because of a habit cultivated since childhood. Eating meat made him ufortable. Therefore, on therge te, there was a bowl of rice, four mixed grain buns, arge bowl of stir-fried mushrooms, a te of cold mixed wild vegetables, and a bowl of pickled bamboo shoot soup.


    Mi Xiaojing always ate very quickly, taking big bites of food and gulping down the soup. He finished eating in just a few minutes.

 Chapter 124: Thunder Sword Enters the Body

    <h4>Chapter 124: Thunder Sword Enters the Body</h4>


    Zhang Ke quickly took the bowl and chopsticks and put them aside, then listened to Mi Xiaojing speaking.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "During this period... has anyone from the secte?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "No, the sect is very quiet. The people who attacked us only made a move at the beginning, and there has been no movement since. However, it''s possible that there are no more people outside the sect. After the formation was activated, anyone who didn''t participate in the battle must stay in their own yard and not wander around."


    "Yes, our Grass-Benevolence Hall has also activated restrictions. Currently, you need a restricted jade token to enter or leave," Zhang Ke added.


    Mu Xiaoyin continued, "Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage can still go out, but they must have a mission."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I should be able to, right?"


    Mu Xiaoyin replied, "Yes, you can go to the Grass-Benevolence Hall and the main hall of the sect, but it''s best to avoid other ces."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and smiled, "Never mind about that. Everyone,e and see the magical sword I refined!" He couldn''t help but show off a bit, but of course, only to his own people. He wouldn''t do this in front of outsiders.


    Luo Bo said, "Xiao Mi, we are just waiting to see the new magical sword. We just didn''t dare to get too close, afraid of disturbing you."


    Mi Xiaojing proudly took out the Thunder Sword and let it float in the air for everyone to see. When children have something fun, they like to show it off to their friends. In this regard, Mi Xiaojing still had the character and temperament of a child.


    The Thunder Sword floated in front of Mi Xiaojing, and Luo Bo leaned in very close. As a result, he was pricked by an electric arc and took a step back, unable to help but exim, "Wow, this sword... shocked me!"


    Then, electric arcs jumped out one by one from the sword, long and slender arcs. Except for Zhang Ke, who was standing farther away, everyone else was hit by one. This scared several people into retreating.


    Mi Xiaojing was also startled, but then he understood. This magical sword had a strong aversion to others because of the Spirit Script. It waspletelypatible with him and would not tolerate anyone else. Even if Mi Xiaojing didn''t activate the Thunder Sword, it would still release electric arcs to attack people. Of course, this level of attack posed no threat, it just showed the attitude of the Thunder Sword.


    Luo Bo''s eyes were full of envy. "What a beautiful sword!"


    Mi Xiaojing doted on Luo Bo and said, "Little Radish, I''ll give you this Thunder Dagger."


    Luo Bo was overjoyed and couldn''t help but shout, "Xiao Mi, you''re giving me the Thunder Dagger? Is it true? Is it true? Haha, that''s great! I love the Thunder Dagger!"


    Everyone knew that the Thunder Dagger was very powerful. Of course, when Mi Xiaojing used it himself, its quality couldn''t keep up anymore. Moreover, the Thunder Dagger was damaged quite a bit during the battle with Hong Qing and needed to be refined again.


    "Yes, it''s true, but... you have to wait until I have time to refine it again."


    Luo Bo was clever. "Who did you fight with?" A trace of worry appeared on his face.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Hong Qing. If you encounter him in the future, run away immediately. It''s best not to confront him."


    Mu Xiaoyin asked, "What happened?"


    "He wanted to capture me... but I almost killed him with the Banner Formation. In the end, he managed to escape."


    Mu Xiaoyin was shocked. Although she wasn''t a cultivator, she was familiar with cultivators and knew that Hong Qing was at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. How could he be defeated by Mi Xiaojing? It was really terrifying.


    "Wow? Almost killed him... Junior Brother, are you that powerful?"


    Mi Xiaojing''s face turned serious. "Never mind whether I almost killed him or not. If this guy encounters us again or encounters you, he will seek revenge like crazy. Remember, don''t go out during this period! Even if there''s something important, don''t go out. Just stay at home, understand?"


    Everyone was willing to listen to Mi Xiaojing''s words, not because of his high cultivation level, but because of the trust they had in him. Everyone present, except for Mu Xiaoyin, was saved by Mi Xiaojing. They were also his earliest fellow disciples andpanions. The level of trust between them was extremely high. Everyone also knew that Mi Xiaojing wasn''t just exaggerating, but was considering everyone''s safety.


    Luo Bo said, "Xiao Mi, don''t worry, we won''t go out. We''ll just cultivate here."


    Wei Fu said, "Yes, yes, the effect of cultivating here is great. I''m getting addicted to it. I don''t even want to go out and y..."


    Mao Tou and Da Zhu both raised their hands in agreement. "Yes, yes... we don''t want to go out either!"


    Everyone''s support made Mi Xiaojing feel a little relieved. He was really afraid that if they went out, Luo Bo and the others would fall into Hong Qing''s hands.


    Mi Xiaojing firmly believed that Hong Qing wasn''t just making empty threats. If he saw them, he would definitely attack. Even if he really killed low-level disciples of the sect and was discovered, he wouldn''t necessarily be severely punished, especially since Hong Qing was also a Pill Master of the sect.


    Since Hong Qing escaped, Mi Xiaojing felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. It was only now that he realized that when it was time to kill, he must kill without hesitation, or else he would be very tired.


    Looking at the Thunder Sword, Mi Xiaojing knew that he needed to practice using it proficiently. It would be best to cultivate for a while, just like the high-level cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who directly used their Golden Elixir to cultivate and improve the quality of their magical swords.


    Just as he was thinking about this, a sudden change urred.


    A golden Spirit Script chain suddenly appeared and directly entangled the Thunder Sword. In an instant, the Thunder Sword shone brightly, but before Mi Xiaojing could react, the Thunder Sword suddenly disappeared.


    Everyone saw this astonishing scene. Luo Bo pointed to where the Thunder Sword had been just now and said, "Wow! Golden... ah, it''s gone... what happened... it disappeared!"


    "The golden light was so shiny and beautiful..."


    "I seemed to see something entangling the sword, and then it suddenly disappeared... Mao Tou, did you see it clearly?"


    "No, I just saw the golden light shining... and then I couldn''t see it anymore."


    "Beautiful, so beautiful!"


    Da Zhu could only say beautiful. He was already dazzled by the Spirit Script characters on the Thunder Sword and couldn''t say anything else.


    Mi Xiaojing naturally knew that the Thunder Sword was entangled by the Spirit Script characters. When he fought with Hong Qing before, his Spirit Script chain was entangled in the same way as a substitute. Now, it had automatically entangled the Thunder Sword again, which surprised him. He also couldn''t understand why it happened like this.However, with the experience fromst time, Mi Xiaojing was not panicked. He vaguely knew that the Magical Sword must have been pulled into his body by the Spirit Script.


    Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Mi Xiaojing also understood the concept of form and formlessness. A cultivation tool could have form or be formless, so he could understand anything entering his body. If this concept were ced in the mind of a mortal, it would bepletely inexplicable and iprehensible.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Everyone, don''t panic, let me calmly observe for a moment." Saying this, he sat down cross-legged and began to examine his body with his Divine Sense.

 Chapter 125: Brief calm

    <h4>Chapter 125: Brief calm</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was pleasantly surprised when he saw his Thunder Sword hanging on the Heart Tower, suspended above the substitute puppet made up of true character scripts.


    The Thunder Sword hung quietly, and Mi Xiaojing immediately understood that although he couldn''t nurture a magical sword, he could nurture the true character scripts within his body. This unexpected result surprised him.


    Ever since Mi Xiaojing started cultivating, many strange things had happened, many of which were beyond hisprehension. After experiencing so much, Mi Xiaojing gradually got used to it.


    This time was no different. When he saw the Thunder Sword hanging above the Heart Tower, he was slightly surprised. He had no idea what effect it would have, and it would take time to verify.


    Being able to nurture a sword with the Heart Tower, although Mi Xiaojing was not sure about the quality of nurturing the Thunder Sword, he instinctively felt that keeping the Thunder Sword inside his body would be much stronger than storing it in a storage bracelet.


    The Thunder Sword inside his bodymunicated with Mi Xiaojing at all times. His Starry Sky power constantly refined the Thunder Sword, and the true character scripts also refined the Thunder Sword. Both were constantlymunicating with the Thunder Sword, as if Mi Xiaojing was constantly refining the sword. As time passed, the connection between Mi Xiaojing and the sword continued to strengthen.


    Having dealt with his own weapon, Mi Xiaojing had no ns to go out. As long as he handed over a sufficient amount of spirit pills, he could resist the sect''s organization.


    Mi Xiaojing had alreadypleted all his tasks before. He had a pile of spirit pills left in his hands, from the Qi Refining stage to the Elemental Infant stage, he had refined a lot of spirit pills needed for each stage. He didn''t need to go to the Grass-Benevolence Hall for the time being.


    ...............


    Han Chang gritted his teeth as he sat on the control seat of therge formation. These days were simply unbearable. If the enemy attacked the formation, he would have something to do. Whether he could defend it or not didn''t matter, at least he wouldn''t be idle and panic.


    Changing shifts every ten days, resting for one day, and then continuing to guard the control seat of the formation. It was difficult to cultivate inside the formation as all the spiritual qi was absorbed by the formation. The people inside couldn''t absorb even a trace of spiritual qi. If they wanted to cultivate, they had to hold spirit stones. Even if he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how many spirit stones could he consume?


    Sitting still all day and having to constantly monitor the operation of the formation, if he missed the opportunity and exposed a w in the formation, the punishment waiting for him would be unbearable. So guarding the formation made Han Chang extremely irritable.


    Almost all the people guarding the formation felt the same way, whether they were Foundation Establishment cultivators or Core Formation cultivators, they were filled with resentment. Many people put down their own matters and ended up sitting idly in the formation, unable to do anything.


    Suddenly, an order from the sect leader was passed down, and everyone had to return to their positions. The formation needed to be activated once because several elders were preparing to repair the sword formation. Due to the forced activation of the formation earlier, there were many hidden dangers. If they continued to operate the formation without taking care of them, there would be great danger, and even the copse of the formation.


    Taking advantage of the current calm, several elders unanimously agreed to repair the formation.


    Repairing the formation didn''t mean repairing all areas, but repairing the most crucial and critical positions. Han Chang''s position was close to this area, and the most annoying thing was that he had already been guarding for nine days and was about to rest. But now, he had to continue guarding because of the sect leader''s order and couldn''t leave the control seat. This made him curse incessantly in his heart.


    Not long after, Han Chang saw Immortal Maiden Biluo flying over, and instantly, he didn''t even have the courage to curse in his heart. He obediently sat in his position, ready to test, waiting for themand from above.


    As the repairs werepleted and each position was tested, the operation of the entire formation became smooth.


    After repairing a w, Yu Hong felt helpless. This was not his expertise. Among the Sword Heart Sect, Mo Chentian was more skilled in formations. He was the one leading the repairs this time. However, when they were repairing, they discovered that the most crucial part was difficult to fix.


    This mountain-guarding sword formation was set up by the predecessors of the Sword Heart Sect, and their cultivation level was much higher than theirs.


    Yu Hong became increasingly worried because he discovered a huge hidden danger during the repairs. The core of the sword formation had a defect, and if they encountered a powerful attack again, there was a danger of the formation copsing.


    I was too careless!


    Yu Hong felt very frustrated. The other side had brought in powerful reinforcements, several Elemental Infant stage experts. If they lost the sword formation, there would be no hope of winning. They could only wait for the arrival of the experts invited by the sect, and only then would they have a chance to resist.


    Once those experts arrived, it would be the real showdown with the Vast Gold Sect. For now, they could only defend and not attack.


    Guarding the formation was a very boring task. After a long time, not to mention the other cultivators of the sect, even these Core Formation old fellows were extremely restless because guarding the formation dyed their cultivation, which was something they couldn''t bear.Yu Hong regretted deeply in his heart. For a single demon spirit, he had unintentionally destroyed a sect. If it had beenpletely annihted, it would have been fine. But instead, he had attracted a group of revenge-seeking madmen, creating a situation where neither side would give up until the other was dead.


    He was also quite helpless. If possible, he would prefer to kill all the remaining experts of the Vast Gold Sect, so as to permanently solve the problem.


    After calcting, Yu Hong couldn''t help but sigh. He simply couldn''t achieve this at the moment. Fortunately, he had already recovered his cultivation level, otherwise, it would be even more unbearable. He had already sent out invitations, but there was not a single response. The elders in his sect each had their own duties and tasks, and they simply couldn''t leave the sect.


    For now, they had to endure. They were suffering, and so was the other party. It was a matter of who could endure longer. After all, the Heart Sect relied on the sect and had enough resources to contend with the other party.


    Fortunately, the situation had stabilized, and they could slowly fight against the other party.


    Yu Hong was, after all, an expert. He quickly regained his strength, no longer worrying, and his face was full of calmness. He looked confident, knowing very well that others could worry and fear, but he absolutely could not. If even he lost confidence, it would be even worse for the others.


    In the sect, it was still bearable for the low-level cultivators. The only inconvenience was that it was not easy for them to go out. However, the cultivators who were at the Foundation Establishment stage and above and were defending the formation were truly suffering to the extreme. Many cultivators had to use Spirit Stones to cultivate. Fortunately, the sect would distribute some Spirit Stones to those defending the formation, which could slightlypensate for their loss.


    Cultivators like Han Chang were suffering more. He didn''t have many Spirit Stones to begin with, and while defending the formation, his consumption was greater than his gain. He had no ce to replenish his resources. If he went out to fight, he might be able to rob some, but now he couldn''t get anything, and his mood was naturally extremely bad.

 Chapter 126: Angry Hong Qing

    <h4>Chapter 126: Angry Hong Qing</h4>


    Hong Qing hid in the cave behind his own yard. This was his ce of meditation, and there was also a spiritual spring. He had finally managed to escape back here, already in a half-dead state with his bones shattered. With the support of the spirit pill, he barely managed to save his life.


    He was considered one of the elders in the Grass-Benevolence Hall and had many subordinates. To conceal his injuries, he forced himself to return to the cave and copsedpletely by the side of the spiritual spring.


    Various malicious thoughts filled his mind, making him extremely furious. He cursed incessantly and took out a jade bottle, biting off the bottle cap with his teeth and pouring out a spirit pill.


    Clear Spirit Continuation Pill!


    This was a spirit pill used during the Foundation Establishment stage. It could connect broken bones and was a very effective pill. He didn''t refine this pill himself but bought it at a high price. It was quite rare, and he didn''t know the specific recipe used to refine it.


    His body floated above the spiritual spring, and Hong Qing''s true qi rapidly circted within him. Whenever it encountered obstacles, it forcefully broke through, often causing his bones to fracture. His body made cracking sounds, and each time it happened, the pain made him grit his teeth.


    Relying on his true qi, he forciblybed through his bones. Only then did Hong Qing swallow the Clear Spirit Continuation Pill and quietly wait for the pill to take effect.


    Drops of sweat slid down his forehead, and Hong Qing''s lips were bitten until they bled. The pain was bearable, but what bothered him the most was the itching sensation that spread throughout his body from his bones. It was so unbearable that he felt like he was itching to death.


    After a full hour, his bones were barely connected. He slowlynded and didn''t dare to make any big movements, simply lying on the ground.


    Finally getting through it, he rxed a little, but the anger in his heart burned even stronger.


    Mi Xiaojing! Mi Xiaojing! Mi Xiaojing!


    He kept muttering in his mouth, his malicious intent threatening to destroy everything.


    Hong Qing couldn''t understand why Mi Xiaojing had such a perverted formation. He waspletely defenseless against it and had even suffered heavy losses, using a substitute doll to escape with his life. He had identally obtained this substitute doll during a battle against the Evolutionary Immortality Sect. He quickly killed an evolutionary immortal using traps and sneak attacks, and that evolutionary immortal had barely managed to take out this doll before being killed by him.


    At first, he didn''t know what it was. After researching a lot of information, he realized that it was actually a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect, famous even in the Cultivation World. He didn''t dare to tell anyone and secretly hid it, spending countless time and effort to understand its principles and refine it again. This was like having an extra life, but he didn''t expect to waste it in a battle against Mi Xiaojing.


    The feeling of unwillingness drove him crazy. If the elders of the sect knew about the substitute doll, it would definitely be taken away. At least he would receive a satisfactorypensation, but now he had nothing.


    After his bones had healed, Hong Qing took another spirit pill to treat his internal injuries. After two days of meditation, he called for the steward and ordered, "Keep an eye on Mi Xiaojing for me!"


    The steward was also a cultivator, at the Foundation Establishment stage, over sixty years old, and unable to continue advancing. He was surprised and said, "Mi Xiaojing? The rising star of the Grass-Benevolence Hall..."


    .


    Hong Qing was furious, "To hell with his rising star status! Have someone watch him for me. Report any of his actions to me!"


    The steward was immediately frightened. Although Hong Qing was usually cold, he rarely scolded people like this. What had happened this time? He had no idea that Hong Qing had almost been killed by Mi Xiaojing and had suffered heavy losses.


    "But... but..." the steward stammered.


    Hong Qing''s eyes turned red. "But what? Ah? Speak!"


    The steward''s legs went weak. Facing an angry cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn''t resist this imposing aura. He kept retreating and tried to suppress his inner fear. "But... Mi Xiaojing lives in the Gathering Spring Branch. He can''t even go there!"


    Hong Qing raised his hand and pped him. "Are you an idiot? If he can''t go in, then watch him outside!"


    The steward was dumbfounded. He was a cultivator, not a servant. He had actually been pped by Hong Qing! But facing Hong Qing''s rage, he didn''t dare to retaliate. He only had one thought in his mind: I won''t work for this anymore!


    Lowering his head, the steward said, "Yes, yes, I will arrange for someone to do it!" He also hated Hong Qing and was extremely curious about why he was so angry. Perhaps Mi Xiaojing had caused Hong Qing to suffer a loss? But thinking about it, it seemed impossible. He was well aware of Hong Qing''s strength. He was a well-established cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Mi Xiaojing couldn''tpare to him.


    Hong Qing was filled with anger, but it wasn''t directed at the steward. He only had the steward in front of him, so naturally, his anger was vented on him. "Go now! What the hell are you waiting for?"


    The steward was scared and quickly left. He also knew that Hong Qing was acting like a bastard now and wouldn''t listen to reason.


    Watching the steward run away, Hong Qing didn''t know who to vent his anger on. He fiercely punched arge ancient tree in the yard. With one punch, the tree turned into a pile of broken wood and branches, and the leaves fluttered down.


    But this punch made Hong Qing unable to speak due to the pain. His hand bones had just healed, and his physical strength hadn''t recovered yet. This punch shook his injuries.


    The steward ran outside the yard to gather people, and he heard a loud noise. The originally lush ancient tree had copsed. He felt even more fearful. He knew very well that Hong Qing was venting his anger.


    ................


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea about Hong Qing''s situation. On this day, he was practicing in the backyard as usual.


    The others were sitting in the pavilion in the backyard. It was the central location of the Gathering Spirit Array, where the spiritual qi was the most abundant. Mi Xiaojing sat on the side. He didn''t need overly dense spiritual qi.It had been over ten days since Mi Xiaojingst heard Wang Weijun''s voice. He was getting a bit anxious. After each cultivation session, he would sink his Divine Sense into his body to search for Wang Weijun, hoping tomunicate with him. However, Wang Weijun had not appeared during this period.


    Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had a habit of cultivating in ces rich in Spiritual Qi. Although it didn''t help his cultivation much, this habit had saved Wang Weijun''s Elemental Infant.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t absorb Spiritual Qi, but Wang Weijun did. This brought great benefits to Mi Xiaojing. After absorbing starlight, his body still needed a certain amount of Spiritual Qi. His cultivation couldn''t absorb Spiritual Qi, so he lost this benefit. However, Wang Weijun could absorb Spiritual Qi. As long as Wang Weijun cultivated, the Spiritual Qi would naturally pass through Mi Xiaojing''s body and reach Wang Weijun''s Elemental Infant.


    As the Spiritual Qi passed through Mi Xiaojing''s body, it naturally cleansed his body. This was the invisible benefit brought by Wang Weijun.


    Especially this time, Wang Weijun''s Elemental Infant almost copsed, forcing him to cultivate frantically. During this period, Mi Xiaojing had already enjoyed great benefits.

 Chapter 127: Wang Weijuns thoughts

    <h4>Chapter 127: Wang Weijun''s thoughts</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing had just finished cultivating. ording to his daily routine, he sank his divine sense into his body and called out, "Are you there? Are you there? Say something!"


    "Stop making noise! It''s annoying!"


    "Ah! Wow, you''re still here! Haha, I''ve been looking for you for days, but you wouldn''te out!"


    "I''m busy, can''t you stop bothering me?"


    The voice echoed in Mi Xiaojing''s mind, leaving him with an indelible sense of exhaustion, as if he werepletely drained andcked the energy to speak.


    "What''s wrong with you? You look so tired..."


    Wang Weijun felt like crying without tears. Could it be that he was tormented by the Mantra Banner? There were some things he couldn''t exin clearly, so he could only weakly say, "During this time... don''t disturb me."


    "Why?"


    Suddenly, Wang Weijun''s anger surged up. "Why do you always know nothing? Why, why, why the hell!"


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback by his outburst and didn''t understand why he was getting angry. Before he could say anything, Wang Weijun''s tone suddenly changed.


    "Ah, it''s my problem. Don''t ask anymore. Maybe I''ll recover in a few days."


    Wang Weijun felt bitter in his heart. He knew he had made a mistake by getting angry. Regardless, he couldn''t let Mi Xiaojing dislike him. It would be inconvenient for their future actions. He had to improve their rtionship and please him. Only when there was a need could he get Mi Xiaojing to cooperate with him. So he immediately softened his tone.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t understand why the old man was acting so strangely, but he felt relieved to see him. He had been a bit lost during the time he hadn''t seen Wang Weijun. Human dependence was truly significant. Once there was dependence, there would also be a certain level of trust.


    After asking a few questions, Mi Xiaojing noticed that the old man''s tone was bing more and more exhausted. He quickly stopped asking and said, "I won''t ask anymore. You should rest for a while. Let''s talk when you recover." His words carried a sense of concern and unease.


    Wang Weijun was touched for a moment, but then he quickly realized that he was only interested in Mi Xiaojing''s body, not his soul. He became wary and couldn''t let the little guy be moved. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to make a move. That would be troublesome.


    Just as he was hardening his heart, Mi Xiaojing said, "Can you eat Spirit Pills? I have some Nurturing Infant Pills... Can they help you recover?"


    "No..."


    Wang Weijun felt truly bitter in his heart. He was trapped in the Mantra Banner and couldn''t eat any Spirit Pills. If the pills entered his mouth, they would turn into food for Mi Xiaojing, not for him.


    So this approach wouldn''t work.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but smile bitterly and said, "How can I help you then?"


    Wang Weijun really wanted to say, "Take away the Mantra Banner," but he knew it was impossible. He knew very well that the little guy probably didn''t even know about the existence of the Mantra Banner, so how could he take it away?


    "For now, you can''t help me. When there''s a chance in the future, you must help... Can you do that?"


    "Okay, I promise!"


    Mi Xiaojing readily agreed.


    Wang Weijun was overjoyed. He wanted Mi Xiaojing to agree so that he could act more conveniently. He had finally achieved his goal. Of course, he also hoped that the little guy would continue to maintain this attitude, as it was important for his possession.


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea of the secrets behind this. As a child who had just entered the cultivation world, he couldn''t discern the treacherousness of human hearts. Wang Weijun deliberately approached him and gave him countless benefits, finally making Mi Xiaojing let go of his guard.


    At this moment, Wang Weijun felt no fatigue at all. His spirit was also invigorated. As long as there was an opportunity, he was certain that his possession would be sessful.


    "Tell me about the recent situation. Let me see if there''s anything wrong."


    Wang Weijun proactively asked.


    Since the battle with Hong Qing, Mi Xiaojing had been hiding in the Gathering Spring Courtyard and hadn''t dared to go out. So there was nothing much to say, and the conversation ended with a few simple sentences.


    Instead, Wang Weijun fell into deep thought.


    After a moment, Wang Weijun said, "Hiding is not a solution. If they want toe, they wille again. You should be more proactive and learn more about the sect''s situation. Only then can we assess the enemy''s situation and find the safest method."


    Mi Xiaojing vigorously nodded. He also knew that hiding at home all the time was useless. He would eventually have to go out and handle things. What should he do then?


    After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing said, "I will go out and gather information. By the way, the Thunder Gang''s Magical Sword has been refined. Can you take a look for me?"


    Wang Weijun, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wasn''t really interested in a Magical Sword, but in order to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust, he still said, "Okay, show it to me... Let me take a look."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s on the Heart Tower. You can see it directly."


    "What? How is that possible!"


    Wang Weijun was greatly shocked. The fact that the Magical Sword could be stored inside the body was unheard of. His interest suddenly soared. As long as he left the Mantra Banner, he could go to the Heart Tower. In fact, he was more familiar with the Heart Tower inside Mi Xiaojing''s body than Mi Xiaojing himself.


    Then Wang Weijun became dumbfounded, while Mi Xiaojing''s divine sense was near the Heart Tower, he watched as an old man in a green robe emerged from the Heart Tower and stood in front of the puppet.The Heart Tower that Mi Xiaojing saw was notrge, the substitute puppet was also small, and the Thunder Sword was even smaller. However, in the eyes of the old man in the green robe, Wang Weijun, it waspletely different.


    He was only half the size of the substitute puppet, so the puppet he saw was very tall. The Thunder Sword floated above the puppet''s head, making it a giant sword. Most importantly, he could clearly see that the puppet wasposed of Mantra Spirit Scripts, which gave him a great shock.


    Each Spirit Script was flickering, appearing and disappearing, real and illusory. Each Spirit Script was shining with a golden light, and each gave him a sense of danger. As for the Magical Sword that Mi Xiaojing had newly refined, apart from the twelve spirit patterns, there were countless Mantras swimming in the spirit patterns. What was most amazing was that these Mantras were exchanging with the Mantras on the puppet, reflecting each other, making Wang Weijun''s eyes dazzle.


    The reason why Wang Weijun was stunned was not because of these Mantras, but because he couldn''t understand how this puppet could appear on the Heart Tower. He was even more puzzled about how this Magical Sword could exchange Mantras with the puppet. What was this? Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, he had never heard of such a cultivation method.


    Relying on his extensive knowledge and the profound mirror realm he had once reached, he gradually inferred the cause and effect, and was greatly shocked.


    This was a new path of cultivation, a path thatbined Cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality. The most critical part was the Mantra Banner. He wondered what Mi Xiaojing would be if he continued to cultivate along this path?


    Tonight at 12 o''clock, it will officially be on the shelves! A little excited, two more updates tonight!

 Chapter 128: Going out

    <h4>Chapter 128: Going out</h4>


    The result may be good or bad, and Wang Weijun cannot judge itpletely. ording to this cultivation method, who knows what kind of monster will be cultivated.


    Wang Weijun cannot judge it now, but he knows that as long as Mi Xiaojing reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he will definitely be able to tell whether this cultivation method is really good or not. Because once Mi Xiaojing reaches Foundation Establishment, as long as the Mantra can still be added to it, then it can be clear that the cultivation of the two does not conflict at all, which is a big deal.


    Evolutionary Immortality has tried cultivation, but has never really seeded. In Wang Weijun''s impression, those who imed to be sessful were only able to use some cultivation techniques after the Elemental Infant stage through unorthodox means.


    Those people can no longer be considered as Evolutionary Immortals or Cultivators. They are truly unorthodox, and the general result is to go astray. Now Mi Xiaojing is different. It is obvious that the two are progressing side by side, and because of the Mantra Banner with ten thousand characters, there are no side effects.


    Mi Xiaojing anxiously waits, but Wang Weijun remains silent, just staring at the puppet and the Thunder Sword.


    "Um, what about this Thunder Sword refined with Thunder Gang wood?"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but ask.


    Wang Weijun shook his head and said, "I don''t know..."


    Mi Xiaojing wondered, "You don''t know?"


    Wang Weijun sighed and said, "If it were a Magical Swordpletelyposed of Spirit Script, I would know whether it is good or bad. But with the addition of the Mantra characters and the ability to be incorporated into the body, I don''t know if it is good or bad."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Since it can be incorporated into the body and has the blessing of the Mantra, then it should be good. Why could it be bad?"


    Wang Weijun said, "The so-called bad doesn''t mean that the sword is bad. It''s just that I don''t know how powerful this sword is after being blessed by the Mantra. Whether it is better than without the blessing, it needs to be verified. Only after verification can we know if the sword has reached the expected level."


    "Oh... Anyway, I think a sword that can be incorporated into the body is a good sword!"


    In Mi Xiaojing''s opinion, this is a good sword. As for what Wang Weijun said, he just ignored it. Everything has good and bad, but this sword is not bad, only good!


    Wang Weijun said, "Hmm, if you think it''s good, then it''s good. Because you are the one using it, your own perception is the most important."


    .


    This statement is quite subjective, but in the cultivation world, subjective statements are very reasonable. Mi Xiaojing is well aware of this, and he smiled and said, "I will use this sword to prove that my refining skills are wless."


    Wang Weijun appreciated this statement and said, "Good, your confidence is good." After speaking, he disappeared from the Heart Tower. He didn''t have time to continue chatting with Mi Xiaojing and was eager to go back to cultivate.


    Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense wanted to follow Wang Weijun into the Heart Tower, but when his Divine Sense reached the edge of the Heart Tower, it couldn''t enter no matter what.


    "Weird, why can''t I enter the Heart Tower?"


    After several attempts, Mi Xiaojing finally discovered that there was also a ce in his body where his Divine Sense couldn''t enter. The Heart Tower could actually shield the Divine Sense from viewing.


    In fact, he didn''t know that not only his own Divine Sense couldn''t enter, even the powerful Divine Sense of an external cultivator would also be shielded. This was not the effect of the Heart Tower, but the effect of the Mantra Banner with ten thousand characters. Therefore, no one could discover Wang Weijun''s existence, nor could anyone find the whereabouts of the Mantra Banner.


    After several attempts, Mi Xiaojing could only give up, but he already understood in his heart that Wang Weijun was in the Heart Tower. As for why he appeared in the Heart Tower, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t guess no matter what. When Wang Weijun''s Elemental Infant plunged into Mi Xiaojing''s body, he immediately fell unconscious. He didn''t know that at that moment, Wang Weijun entered his body and was captured by the Mantra Banner, almost bing nourishment for the Mantra Banner.


    But Mi Xiaojing quickly became happy. Since Wang Weijun also didn''t know whether it was good or bad, it proved that the Thunder Sword was sessfully refined. And if he believed it was sessful, then it was sessful. He no longer cared about what others said.


    With a thought, the Thunder Sword floated in front of Mi Xiaojing. Its speed was so fast that Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied.


    In the backyard, Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to test the sword, he just let the Thunder Sword circle around his body a few times before retracting it into his body. There was a tacit understanding between him and the Thunder Sword, as if it was at his fingertips and followed his will.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that the Thunder Sword could move on its own without using any Magical Techniques or Incantations. This discovery shocked him.


    Generally speaking, only Magical Swords nurtured by Golden Elixir after the Foundation Establishment stage would have this effect. Swords with this effect have the potential and possibility of bing Spirit Swords.


    Mi Xiaojing wanted to ask Wang Weijun again, but when he thought about how tired Wang Weijun looked, he ultimately suppressed his excitement.


    It''s time to go out and inquire about the situation.


    After leaving the Gathering Spring Courtyard and breaking through the restrictions, Mi Xiaojing flew on his sword. Because the formation had been activated for a while, he didn''t dare to fly too high, only flying close to the treetops.


    Mi Xiaojing had no clue about gathering information from the sect. After all, he had no experience, and he didn''t like to interact with people in the Sword Heart Sect. Because of the destruction of the Western Expansion Sect, he had no good feelings towards the people of the Sword Heart Sect and didn''t want to have any rtionship with them. This resulted in him having almost no source of information.


    The only way to get information was through Lu Yu, so he nned to go to Lu Yu''s Lu Liu Manor to take a look.


    Just as he flew a short distance, he heard a crisp voice saying, "Hey! Come here!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately saw a girl waving at him from the mansion below. It turned out to be Mo Yuer.


    She was a proud girl in the sect, just like a little hen. Because of her special identity as the sect leader''s daughter, she was the pride of the sect and had ess to excellent cultivation resources. She also had a powerful father behind her.However, Mo Yuer had a rather good reputation within the sect. Although she was extremely proud, she was still decent in her interactions with others. Of course, this was only limited to cultivators. She never paid any attention to ordinary people, which was the attitude of the vast majority of cultivators, and waspletely different from the attitude of those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality towards ordinary people.


    There were several low-level cultivators, both male and female, standing around Mo Yuer. Apart from her cultivation time, she always had many low-level cultivators surrounding her. In the sect, she was like a little princess.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing didn''t n to pay any attention, but suddenly thought that Mo Yuer might be well-informed. He could make contact to see if there was any special news.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t fly very fast, so he circled around and returned to the sky above the manor, then slowly descended.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing descend, Mo Yuer immediately smiled. The sect''s recently rumored rising star was Mi Xiaojing, but no one could get close to him, so he seemed extraordinarily mysterious. Many cultivators in the sect were interested in Mi Xiaojing. All kinds of legends and strange rumors made people feel that Mi Xiaojing was mysterious and unpredictable.


    There will be another chapter around eleven o''clock.

 Chapter 129: Proselytize

    <h4>Chapter 129: Proselytize</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing fell to the ground and didn''t say anything. He just quietly looked at Mo Yuer. He wasn''t pretending, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Mo Yuer felt very honored when Mi Xiaojing fell down. She was always generous with people who gave her face. She smiled and greeted him, "Junior brother, where are you going?"


    In the sect, seniority is generally based on cultivation level, but there are exceptions. Mo Yuer was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and, most importantly, she was the daughter of Sect Leader Mo Chentian. Plus, she reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Mi Xiaojing, so she dared to call him junior brother.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know where to go. He was a gentle person. If someone spoke to him with a smile, he wouldn''t respond with harsh words. He said, "I have something to do outside."


    Mo Yuer said, "Come, let me introduce you to some talented disciples of the sect."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to get to know any talented disciples of the sect at all. He just wanted to know the recent situation of the sect.


    He greeted them with a cupped fist and said, "Hello, everyone."


    There were seven or eight people in the group. Seeing that Mi Xiaojing didn''t have a cold attitude, they became happy and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, junior uncle..."


    .


    These people seemed older than Mi Xiaojing, but Mi Xiaojing was at the Foundation Establishment stage while they were only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if they were much older, they still had to respectfully call him junior uncle.


    Challenging one''s superiors is not allowed in the sect. Of course, if you really challenge your superiors, you will be beaten or even killed, and you will have to bear the consequences yourself.


    However, if you can resist, like Mi Xiaojing killing Hong Qing, it is eptable. The cultivation level determines the hierarchy, which means that strength is the most important.


    At Mo Yuer''s invitation, Mi Xiaojing came to a garden. The courtyard was full of blooming flowers. There was also a pond and arge wooden tform extending into the pond. There was also a Gathering Spirit Array here.


    The entire garden was filled with abundant spiritual qi. Various flowers and nts were nourished by the spiritual qi, vibrant and beautiful. It was carefully arranged and cleaned.


    Mi Xiaojing had a good impression of exceptionally clean ces. He was a clean person himself, even if he was poor and suffering in the Western Expansion Sect, he liked to be clean. Even his clothes, patched up with patches, were exceptionally clean.


    There were several luxurious round tables on the wooden tform. The so-called luxury meant that they were iid with exquisite mother-of-pearl and gold thread, shining under the sunlight. There were white porcin tes on the table, filled with various fruits, including spiritual fruits.


    Seven or eight exquisitely crafted round stools were scattered on the tform. Waiters arranged the tables and stools neatly. Mo Yuer then invited everyone to sit down with a smile.


    Mi Xiaojing was arranged to sit in the main seat, but he had no idea about it. He was just a child from the countryside and didn''t understand these things.


    Mo Yuer was very proud. Most of the people who came to her were Qi Refining disciples. There were very few cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage who woulde to tter her. In the sect, the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage were the most valued, and various resources were inclined towards them. They were often busy with their own affairs and didn''t have much time to socialize outside.


    Because he was unfamiliar, Mi Xiaojing had been silent all along, just listening attentively.


    Someoneined, "Junior uncle, when will the sect''s alert be lifted? We have to go through three checkpoints to get here... It''s so troublesome."


    Mo Yuer said, "It''s impossible to lift the alert. It''s just a bit inconvenient. If you find it troublesome, you can live in the manor. It''s big enough here, and we don''tck food. Hehe."


    "I don''t know when the grand array will be closed... I don''t even know why it was opened..."


    This guy didn''t know anything at all. He didn''t even know who the attackers were. The sect wouldn''t tell low-level cultivators and mortals about external affairs. These people had no other use except for panicking.


    "Fool, the grand array was opened because there are enemies attacking. Can''t you even think of that?"


    "What enemies?"


    "How would I know? Only junior uncle knows about these things!"


    Mo Yuer didn''t say much. She just said lightly, "The sect''s affairs are decided by the elders. You don''t need to worry about them."


    "Yes, yes, junior uncle is right. These things are not something we can worry about."


    Someone asked Mi Xiaojing, "Junior uncle, don''t you need to go to the Sword Formation to guard?"


    Mo Yuer knew about this matter, just like she didn''t need to go. Mi Xiaojing had certain privileges.


    "I don''t need to go. I am an alchemist, and my task is to refine pills."


    Mi Xiaojing exined and then fell silent. But even this sentence made a group of low-level disciples amazed. At such a young age, he was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and not only that, he was also an alchemist. This was too terrifying.


    Mo Yuer''s goal was clear: to get to know this legendary alchemist, establish a good rtionship, and take advantage of Mi Xiaojing''s potential. He had received unanimous praise from four Elemental Infant stage high-level cultivators. Such a person naturally had to be won over.


    First, get familiar, then slowly establish contact, and eventually form some kind of mutually beneficial rtionship. Mo Yuer''s n was in full swing. She also had her own resources, and she believed that her status and position were enough to interact with Mi Xiaojing. She didn''t look down on Mi Xiaojing, even when he had just arrived, he almost became her servant.


    In this world where strength spoke, once you had strength and ability, you naturally had status and position. Mo Yuer understood this better than Mi Xiaojing.Mi Xiaojing appeared very silent, only responding briefly when asked. He spent more time listening, hearing their discussions, and extracting the information he needed.


    After sitting for a while and listening to their endless chatter, Mi Xiaojing quickly realized that their conversation held no interest for him. He stood up and said, "I have some matters to attend to. Senior Sister, I will take my leave now."


    Mo Yuer did not try to keep him, instead she said, "Junior Brother, feel free to go and attend to your matters. Do drop by when you have time."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded. This ce could serve as a good source of information.


    Once Mi Xiaojing left, the group began to discuss him.


    "Senior Uncle, is he really that impressive Pill Master from Grass-Benevolence Hall?"


    "Ah, he looks so young. Is he really the captive from the Evolutionary Sect we caughtst time? How is he so powerful, advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time? It''s unbelievable!"


    "I didn''t dare to say it earlier, but I actually saw him at the beginning. He was with a child... Initially, Senior Uncle wanted him, but when Uncle Guan arrived, he was taken away by Grass-Benevolence Hall."


    There was a sudden gasp of surprise. The others didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing was originally from the Evolutionary Sect and was even a captive. Their faces showed surprise. This man was simply too powerful, soaring from Evolutionary Immortality to Cultivation, surpassing all of them who had been cultivating since childhood.


    One of the cultivators quietly left, running all the way to the outskirts of the manor. Only then did he release a paper owl, sending out the message: Mi Xiaojing has left!

 Chapter 130: Messages

    <h4>Chapter 130: Messages</h4>


    This person is a spy set up by Hong Qing, specifically for Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing, of course, did not know that someone had already exposed his whereabouts. He flew along the treetops and quickly arrived at Lu Liu Manor. He did notnd directly inside the estate, as that would be impolite. Hended at the entrance of the manor.


    Several mortal gatekeepers saw Mi Xiaojing and hurriedly saluted.


    Mi Xiaojing''s attire was worn by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. No one dared to wear it casually in the Heart Sect. It would definitely be punished if one wore the attire of the Foundation Establishment stage without reaching that stage.


    This kind of attire represents status and identity in the Heart Sect, higher than most people. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage are the backbone of the sect, and no one dares to underestimate them.


    A mortal servant entered the courtyard and ran towards the inside. He didn''t dare to dy for too long.


    After a while, the steward Qian Youwei ran out. He was the steward who had been beaten up by Mi Xiaojing before. He only had the cultivation level of the Qi Refining stage. At this moment, when he saw Mi Xiaojing, he was really afraid. He couldn''t believe that Mi Xiaojing had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time. Fortunately, after that incident, Mi Xiaojing didn''t pursue him, and he often went to Mi Xiaojing''s previous residence to handle many transactions.


    "Hello, Senior Martial Uncle!"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Is Junior Brother Lu here?" He was now in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and had the qualification to address Lu Yu as Junior Brother.


    Qian Youwei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the Patriarch is in the back hall. I will take Senior Martial Uncle there."


    Lu Yu did not go to Grass-Benevolence Hall. He sat in the back hall and immediately greeted him when he heard the report. When he saw Mi Xiaojing, he couldn''t help but be stunned. He didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing had advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He only knew that Mi Xiaojing had sessfully established his foundation. But what surprised him was that he couldn''t see through Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level at all.


    Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Um... what is your cultivation level now?"


    Mi Xiaojing was also taken aback. He didn''t expect Lu Yu to ask this question. However, there was nothing to hide, so he said, "After going to the Gathering Spring Branch, I just advanced to the middle stage."


    Lu Yu was shocked. This person was too abnormal. After he established his foundation, he had been unable to make progress. It seemed that the rumors were true. He should be able to refine spirit pills to enhance his strength. His eyes suddenly became hot.


    "Ah? Ah! I will call you Senior Martial Brother from now on! Haha!"


    Lu Yuughed loudly, concealing his jealousy. It should be noted that when they first met, Mi Xiaojing was only at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. In such a short time, his cultivation level had surpassed his own. It was said that even the elders in the Elemental Infant stage attached great importance to him, which showed how talented this child was.


    Mi Xiaojing smiled slightly and said, "I''ve been busy recently and haven''t had the chance toe here. I came specially to see Junior Brother."


    This sentence sounded awkward to Mi Xiaojing, and Lu Yu felt even more bitter listening to it. He had gone from Senior Martial Uncle to Senior Martial Brother in a short time, and then to Junior Brother. His position was almost gone. If Mi Xiaojing reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have to call him Senior Martial Uncle. It was really speechless.


    "Haha, Senior Martial Brother came to see me. It''s my honor! Please, let''s talk inside!"


    Mi Xiaojing and Lu Yu were not particrly familiar, but because of their transactions, he felt that this person was trustworthy. Lu Yu always gave him a little more in every transaction, whether it was materials or daily necessities. Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied with this. After all, he used to be a poor person who had nothing and had never seen anything.


    The two entered a special guest room. Lu Yu had someone serve fragrant tea and spirit fruits. As he was in charge of cultivating spirit herbs and trees, there were always spirit fruits avable at home. This was one of the benefits of being a steward.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Why didn''t Junior Brother go to guard the formation?"


    Lu Yu said, "Grass-Benevolence Hall is very busy, and I can''t leave. Besides, the Ancestor didn''t arrange for me to go... Except for a few cultivators responsible for battle, the rest of us in Grass-Benevolence Hall are still here. The formation is currently fine, so we haven''t been mobilized yet."


    Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "It seems like there''s nothing happening now. Can our formation hold up? By the way, do you know who is attacking the Heart Sect?"


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "I know a little about that." He had more friends than Mi Xiaojing, so he had more information. Although it might not be urate, he could still provide some substantial information.


    "I heard it''s a sect in the desert called Vast Gold Sect. They are attacking our sect..."


    "Why? Do they have a grudge?"


    "It is said... um, the specific situation is unclear, but it is said that one of our Elemental Infant Ancestors destroyed the Vast Gold Sect''s sect, so... you know, when a sect''s sect is destroyed, they naturally seek revenge."


    Destroying a sect!


    Mi Xiaojing thought of Western Expansion Sect. Their sect was also destroyed by the Heart Sect. The difference was that the high-level members of Western Expansion Sect were all ughtered, while Vast Gold Sect still had experts. Mi Xiaojing secretly called it fortunate. Finally, someone came to seek revenge, although they were not the experts from Western Expansion Sect.It was not until this moment that Mi Xiaojing finally understood why the sect was so tense.


    "Moreover, this attack is different from thest one. Last time, they just made a strike, but this time, the attackers are much more formidable. It is said that there are several real masters who have reached the Elemental Infant stage."


    "That powerful?"


    "Yes! So, our sect can only defend, not attack. Fortunately, our sect''srge array was set up by our predecessors, and it''s extremely powerful. They can''t break in for the time being..."


    "By the way, I have some news to tell you..."


    Lu Yu said mysteriously.


    "What news?"


    "It''s said that the core of therge array is damaged..."


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned. He knew very well what it meant if the core of therge array was damaged. He hurriedly asked, "Is it serious?"


    Lu Yu gave a bitter smile, "It''s said to be very serious, but we don''t know the specific situation. The sect has issued a gag order, forbidding discussion on this matter."


    Wang Weijun suddenly interjected, "Very serious... means that if therge array is not corrected, it may copse!" Only Mi Xiaojing could hear this, Lu Yu had no way of knowing.


    "How can it be repaired?"


    "How to repair? Such arge mountain protection array, unless it stops operating, can it possibly be repaired. Now it can only be maintained, it''s very dangerous... You need to make ns early."


    Wang Weijun reminded him seriously. He knew more than Mi Xiaojing and of course understood the seriousness of the situation.


    "What should I do?"


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea what to do. He asked a question, then said, "With therge array activated, we can''t escape either!"


    "If that little guy didn''t lie just now, the Vast Gold Sect is probably here to seize our sect''s base. You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, just the main force of the sect, and also the one they must kill. If you are a Qi Refining cultivator, as long as you don''t resist, you might be spared. The middle and high-level members of the sect are all targets for cleansing, and that definitely includes you."


    "So, once the sect''srge array is broken, you must take your people and flee, or you''re doomed." (To be continued.)

 Chapter 131: Array Disk

    <h4>Chapter 131: Array Disk</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was scared out of his wits. The cultivation world was truly cruel, with sects being wiped out and people being killed left and right. He said, "Alright, I understand. I will be prepared and make sure to escape when the timees."


    "Even if you try to escape, there''s no guarantee you''ll seed. It''s better for you to find a ce to hide. As for the others, they don''t need to hide. Their cultivation levels are too low to be killed. After all, the sect still needs people to operate even after taking over their headquarters. If everyone is killed, the sect will bepletely destroyed."


    Lu Yu saw Mi Xiaojing deep in thought and decided to stay silent, waiting patiently. He didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing wasmunicating with Wang Weijun and thought that Mi Xiaojing was pondering over what he had just said.


    After a moment, Mi Xiaojing looked up and asked, "If it can''t be repaired, how long can the core still function?"


    "I don''t know. We can only guess. Haha, I''m just saying. After all, there are higher-ups worrying about it. It''s not up to me to judge."


    .


    Lu Yu didn''t dare to continue along this topic.


    During this period of time, everything was peaceful and there were no attacks. The lower-level cultivators gradually became more active. They had no choice but to engage in various activities to sustain their cultivation and livelihoods. Being closed off for a long time had a great impact on the lower levels of the sect.


    Mi Xiaojing and Lu Yu discussed other matters regarding the sect, such as the Grass-Benevolence Hall and trading.


    Lu Yu helped Mi Xiaojing refine spirit pills and obtained arge amount of spirit stones. These spirit stones were what Mi Xiaojing needed. Just the use of the Green Wood Array alone required a significant amount of spirit stones. Even though Mi Xiaojing had obtained arge number of spirit stones, it still pained him to use them.


    Now Mi Xiaojing understood that spirit stones were like money. Money could be exchanged for many things. Therefore, obtaining spirit stones was his current priority. With his exquisite alchemy skills, he began to umte spirit stones.


    Many transactions needed to bepleted with the help of Lu Yu. Although he took advantage of Mi Xiaojing in many ways, Mi Xiaojing was still satisfied. He didn''t want to attract attention, but unfortunately, that was no longer possible. Ever since he gained the recognition of the Elder in the Elemental Infant stage, he became a prominent figure in the sect.


    "Senior brother, from now on, I''ll trouble you to personally handle the transactions. We won''t be able to go to the Gathering Spring Branch."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Alright, as long as I have time, I wille over. I have also prepared a lot of spirit pills for you this time."


    "That''s great! Haha, I''ve been busy recently. Many people want to trade for spirit pills. I hardly have any inventory left, and the prices of spirit pills have increased by forty percent. Some scarce spirit pills have skyrocketed in price, especially the ones for Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages. The prices are unbelievable!"


    Mi Xiaojing gave a lot of spirit pills and received a lot of spirit stones in return, which was the profit from previous transactions.


    Lu Yu looked enviously at Mi Xiaojing''s storage bracelet. It was his first time seeing such a thing. In the cultivation world, only cultivators with some background could use storage bracelets. For cultivators at the middle and lower levels, being able to use a storage bag was already considered good.


    The storage bracelet was one of the best tools forbat. With just a slight movement of the hand, weapons or talismans inside the bracelet could fly out, much more convenient than carrying a storage bag around the waist. It had almost be a symbol of status and identity.


    Mi Xiaojing put away the spirit stones and stood up, saying, "If there''s anything, you can send me a message."


    Lu Yu also stood up and was very satisfied. This time, he had obtained a lot of spirit pills again, and with these spirit pills, his status in the sect had greatly improved. Even some senior brothers and sisters, senior uncles and aunts, treated him politely. Many things that were difficult to aplish before could now be easily done with just a word, as many people were willing to help.


    Lu Yu apanied Mi Xiaojing to the gate of the courtyard before waving goodbye.


    Mi Xiaojing flew up on his sword, turning into a streak of sword light and disappearing in an instant.


    ...............


    Radix Notoginseng, Oni, Banjin, Big Head Zhengtong, Thousand Poisons Qian, and the most powerful Xu Zhongqing.


    Xu Zhongqing stared at the sword array below and said calmly, "We''ve prepared for so long, let''s not dy any further. Give them a taste and let them move a bit."


    Thousand Poisons Qian said, "Don''t worry, thisbined attack ispletely different from thest one. Thest attack wasn''t satisfying enough. This time, let''s cooperate better..."


    Radix Notoginseng said, "We''ve practiced several times. It should work this time. Haha, it would be best if we can break the array with one strike!"


    Xu Zhongqing shook his head and said, "That might be difficult. The Sword Heart Sect''s sword array is still very powerful."


    Radix Notoginseng said, "We''ll know once we attack! Haha, I want to see the Sword Heart Sectpletely destroyed!" His eyes flickered with a fierce light.


    The method used by Radix Notoginseng wasn''t particrly special. It was a formation that consumed the opponent''s formation. The attack power of a formation was much stronger than that of an individual. They had six Elemental Infant stage experts, and once they formed the formation, their attacks could shake the entire Mountain Protection Array.


    However, the six of them didn''t expect to break the Mountain Protection Array with this formation. After all, the Mountain Protection Array was set up by true experts and had a foundation in the sect. In other words, the Sword Heart Sect''s array had a foundation, while their formation did not. It was inherently insufficient.


    But this formation was the result of the six of them discussing, practicing, and coordinating,bined with the use of some spiritual tools. The attack power was extremely strong, but it also had a w, which was that it couldn''t be sustained for long.


    The most peculiar thing was that this attacking formation was actually designed and refined by Thousand Poisons Qian.


    Thousand Poisons Qian''s methods were strange and ever-changing, thanks to hisbination of Evolutionary Immortality and cultivation. He focused on Evolutionary Immortality and supplemented it with cultivation. Moreover, his Evolutionary Immortality cultivation was extremely powerful. As long as one was a cultivator, they knew that once Evolutionary Immortality reached the Heart Guarding stage, its strength could even surpass that of an Elemental Infant stage cultivator.


    Among the six, Xu Zhongqing was the strongest, with Thousand Poisons Qian being almost on par with him. However, Thousand Poisons Qian''s methods were moreplex and mysterious. Even Xu Zhongqing didn''t have confidence when facing Thousand Poisons Qian. Especially when Thousand Poisons Qian proposed this attacking formation, Xu Zhongqing couldn''t understand the reasoning behind it.


    Each person had a spiritual tool, and after being infused with Thousand Poisons Qian''s true words, they formed a six-personbined attack array. These spiritual tools were provided by Radix Notoginseng. Once they shattered the Mountain Protection Array, these spiritual tools would be given to Thousand Poisons Qian, Xu Zhongqing, and Zhengtong as part of their reward.Regardless, the Vast Gold Sect did have some depth. Radix Notoginseng managed to produce six spiritual artifacts. After processing them with true words, he stored the artifacts on the back of his hand. Each person had a true word Spirit Script on the back of their hand. It was quite simple to activate, as long as Thousand Poisons focused his thoughts on the true words, the spiritual artifacts would explode instantly.


    As for the formation''s eye, it was the spiritual artifact controlled by Thousand Poisons. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 132: True Words Flowing Sand River

    <h4>Chapter 132: True Words Flowing Sand River</h4>


    The spiritual weapon brought out by Radix Notoginseng is of the earth and fire attributes, with one of them being of the gold attribute. Among the Vast Gold Sect, these three types of attribute weapons are the mostmon. The spiritual weapon brought by Thousand Poisons is of the earth attribute. After thebination of the True Words, it bes the core spiritual weapon of the formation.


    Therefore, this formation is called the True Words Flowing Sand River.


    The six people took their positions ording to their directions, and at this moment, Yu Hong appeared in the formation. He had been keeping a close eye on the six people.


    Because of the opponent''s strong strength, Yu Hong didn''t dare to fight outside the formation. Once he left, without the protection of the formation, he would definitely suffer a big defeat. He understood this very well and could only keep an eye on the opponent. Once Sand Notoginseng and the othersunched an attack, he would have to mobilize the sword formation to defend.


    The four Elemental Infant stage cultivators of the Sword Heart Sect also appeared in the formation, controlled by the four Elemental Infant stage elders. This was also rare in the history of the Sword Heart Sect, indicating that the situation had reached a critical point.


    Yu Hong suddenly raised his voice, "Sand Notoginseng, can''t we negotiate? I can swear thatst time was a misunderstanding!"


    Sand Notoginseng snorted, "No matter what the misunderstanding is, the Vast Gold Sect no longer exists. If you canpensate me for the Vast Gold Sect and the disciples I lost, we can negotiate. If not, we fight to the death!"


    Yu Hong was speechless. What negotiation? How could he possiblypensate? Even if he wanted topensate, he couldn''t. He sighed inwardly and said, "Do we really have to fight to the death?"


    Ban Jin suddenlyughed wildly, "Old bastard, haha, I want the Sword Heart Sect to be destroyed! We fight to the death!"


    Oni also screamed, "We fight to the death!"


    Yu Hong fell silent for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "We fight to the death!" With these words, the two sides truly became mortal enemies. One side would not stop until the other side fell.


    Sand Notoginseng shouted, "Thousand Poisons, begin!"


    Yu Hong also became nervous. He could see that the positions the six people were standing in were the positions of a formation. He immediately strengthened the sword formation and countless sword shadows rose from the formation. Then, the four of them simultaneously shouted, "Activate!"


    The wind howled and the sword shadows turned from illusion to reality, as if there were countless flying swords shuttling back and forth in the formation. At this moment, the formation entered a powerful mode, and the consumption of spiritual qi and spirit stones, as well as the true qi and true essence of the cultivators controlling the formation, became terrifying.


    Thousand Poisons sneered, "It''s indeed strong, but unfortunately, you''ve encountered me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he used a magical technique and shouted, "Flowing Sand Melting Gold me!"


    The seven-word True Words!


    The backs of the six people suddenly felt hot, and the six spiritual weapons flew out and hovered in the air. Countless True Words characters formed chains, and upon closer inspection, the seven-word True Words were intertwined and turned into countless colorful chains.


    Under the connection of the True Words chains, the spiritual weapons flew into the air and quickly formed a huge sphere, rotating in the air.


    The giant sphere directly fell above the sword formation, and Thousand Poisons shouted, "Attack!"


    The True Words were activated, and the huge colorful sphere suddenly poured out countless golden sand grains, whichbined into a rain of arrows and fell densely.


    As soon as the arrow rain fell, it was immediately blocked by the sword formation. The rustling sound of the dense sand and the sound of the impact followed, and every impact turned into an explosion.


    The explosions were so dense that they formed a longsting roar, and the entire Sword Heart Sect began to tremble, especially the foundation of the sword formation, the Nine Peaks. At this moment, they were shaking violently, which rmed everyone in the Sword Heart Sect.


    Yu Hong and his men desperately resisted. He realized that the opponent''s formation was extremely abnormal. This attack was not much weaker than the previous Thousand Thunders attack. Fortunately, they were prepared this time, otherwise this attack would have seriously damaged the formation.


    The Sword Protection Great Sword Formation trembled violently, and every cultivator controlling the formation felt like they were sitting on a turbulent boat, being hit by violent waves. The cultivators with weaker strength suffered some minor injuries.


    The pouring golden sand seemed endless, and then Thousand Poisons shouted, "Ignite!"


    In an instant, the golden sand turned into mes, and the entire sky was rendered fiery red. The mes spread along the top of the sword formation and spread to the surroundings. The cultivators in the sword formation felt a chilling sensation.


    The Nine Peaks were enveloped in the sword formation, and from below, a huge arc-shaped dome appeared. This was because of the spread of the mes, and the top of the sword formation formed a ss-like bowl, inverted on the ground, with fine and dense fire outside.


    Everyone in the sect looked up and watched the burning sky. They were all shocked and terrified.


    Once the sword formation couldn''t hold on, and the mes fell, not many people would survive.


    Yu Hong also became nervous. As the one controlling the formation, he understood the impact of this attack on the formation. Due to the damage to the core, the formation was already struggling to resist. He knew that if they continued to passively endure the attacks, the formation would eventually have problems. So he couldn''t wait any longer.


    "Everyone, get ready! We''re going to counterattack!"


    A voice sounded in the ears of every cultivator controlling the formation. This was a unique method ofmunication for Elemental Infant stage cultivators, and others couldn''t hear it.


    "Start the counterattack!"


    All the cultivators controlling the formation simultaneously used a magical technique, and the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stopped, while the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators continued to use a second magical technique. Finally, the four Elemental Infant stage elders used a third magical technique and simultaneously chanted an incantation.


    When the four Elemental Infant stage elders simultaneously used a magical technique and chanted an incantation, the entire Sword Heart Sect fell into chaos. The earth trembled violently, and the mountains shook intensely. Large pieces of rocks and soil fell from the mountains.


    Mi Xiaojing, in the courtyard, saw the trees on the slope shaking violently. The sky above his head was burning fiery red, and everything on the ground was red. The entire sect was bathed in blood-red.


    With the shaking of the mountains and the ground, a huge sword shadow appeared above each of the Nine Peaks, as if the entire mountain had turned into a terrifying giant sword, rising bit by bit from the mountain.A strong gust of wind suddenly whipped up around them. In an instant, the restrictions in the backyard lit up, and countless amounts of Spiritual Qi were forcibly extracted, rushing towards the nine giant swords.


    At first, the giant swords were only shadows. As the Spiritual Qi poured in, the swords became clearer and clearer. From a distance, Mi Xiaojing could see the Qingmu Peak where the Grass-Benevolence Hall was located. The giant sword rising from the mountain peak began to turn green, and as it rose higher, it gradually became a jade green.


    Wenjian Peak, Yunyang Peak, Liuyun Peak, Jinshi Peak.


    Giant swords rose from each mountain peak, their bodies fully revealed.


    .


    Yu Hong''s face was covered in sweat. The four Elemental Infant stage elders looked serious, each of them as if they were carrying something extremely heavy. They pointed their hands outside the sword array, at the sphere that was still spewing golden sand.


    "Everyone, follow mymand!"


    Thank you all for your subscriptions and support. Also, we are recruiting for our group, group number 553,253,438, everyone is wee to join! To be continued.

 Chapter 133: Both sides suffer

    <h4>Chapter 133: Both sides suffer</h4>


    Even the injured cultivators tried their best to sit still and wait for Yu Hong''smand.


    Han Chang was also the same. He was slightly injured but could still hold on. However, deep down, he wasining. He knew exactly what this move meant. Once this move was executed, the defensive capabilities of the entire sword formation would rapidly decrease. If they couldn''t severely injure the enemy, they would be in a miserable state.


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt the ground shake violently, causing him to jump up. At this moment, Luo Bo and the others also ran to the front yard.


    Everyone in the Sword Heart Sect looked up at the sky. They saw nine giant swords converging towards the dome of the sword formation, instantly transforming into a huge rainbow and piercing through the formation, shooting out directly.


    Boom!


    The earth-shattering impact caused the entire sect to shake violently. Houses copsed inrge numbers. The force was too immense, as if the entire sect''s headquarters was about topletely shatter.


    Mi Xiaojing and the others stumbled around as if they were drunk. They were forced to fly slightly, but were immediately suppressed by an invisible force and couldn''t fly at all.


    Except for a few Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators who were not guarding the formation, everyone else fell to the ground, including Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and the others. No one could stand steadily except for Mi Xiaojing, who was still stumbling and struggling to maintain his bnce.


    Qian Duqianughed maniacally. This formation was his attemptbining the Evolutionary Immortality and the formation technique of cultivation. He didn''t expect it to have such great power.


    He knew that it was almost impossible to obtain six spiritual treasures andbine them into a formation. This time, he was able to practice it with the spiritual treasures from the Vast Gold Sect. The important thing was that it was sessful, so he was fully exerting himself and looking for loopholes in the True Words Flowing Sand Formation.


    At this moment, the Sword Heart Sect''s Mountain Guarding Sword Formation counterattacked.


    The golden sand mes attached to the dome of the sword formation suddenly jumped up, and countless mes spewed upwards. This scene was extremely spectacr. Before the six of them could react, a rainbow sword shadow rose from the formation and directly attacked them. The speed was so fast that the six of them couldn''t react, especially when they were still controlling the True Words Flowing Sand Formation.


    Qian Duqian''s face changed drastically, and he only had time to shout one word.


    "Block!"


    In an instant, a sphere enveloped the six of them. In just a moment, it gave Sand Notoginseng and the others a very short reaction time, and they immediately activated their own defenses.


    As cultivators in the Elemental Infant stage, their battle experience was very rich. They naturally understood that this was the counterattack of the Mountain Guarding Sword Formation. It was just that because the mes covered the dome of the formation, they couldn''t see the giant sword shadows rising from the nine peaks.


    They didn''t even notice when the nine giant swords merged together. It was only when the nine swords turned into a rainbow and flew out of the formation that the six of them felt the true fear. Fortunately, Qian Duqian used the True Words to activate the defense, and the True Words Flowing Sand Formation enveloped the six of them.


    At this moment, the sword rainbow collided, and the sky full of mes suddenly burst open, like a huge firework blooming.


    Whether it was Sand Notoginseng or Qian Duqian, several of them spewed out a mouthful of blood at the same time. Underestimating the power of the Sword Heart Sect''s Mountain Guarding Sword Formation came at a price.


    All six of them were injured at the same time, with varying degrees of severity. Xu Zhongqing was the least injured. With his profound cultivation, he barely managed to withstand it. But the most severely injured was Ban Jin. This guy liked to confront things head-on, and his choice directly led to his most severe injuries.


    What made Qian Duqian go crazy was that the True Words Flowing Sand Formation and two of the six spiritual treasures were directly destroyed, and the other four were all damaged.


    The sphere formed by the formation instantly shattered, and the six of them were directly knocked out.


    When the six of them finally stabilized their bodies, they were already tens of kilometers away. It could be imagined how fierce this attack was. Breaking the formation and knocking them out happened in one go.


    The six of them looked at each other, and Ban Jin spat out blood. "Pah! I didn''t expect them to have this move... Senior Brother, what should we do?"


    Sand Notoginseng hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to continue the attack, but facing such a powerful Mountain Guarding Sword Formation, he was a bit scared.


    However, Xu Zhongqing was decisive and said, "Continue the attack. I don''t believe that their Mountain Guarding Sword Formation can use this kind of attack multiple times!"


    Qian Duqian hesitated in his heart. After a while, he said, "Without the Flowing Sand Formation, continuing the attack will rely on individuals. The defensive power of their formation is extremely strong. Hmm, I think we should be fully prepared before attacking again!"


    Among the six of them, Xu Zhongqing was the least injured. As long as he took a Spirit Pill, he could immediately recover. The injuries of the others couldn''t be healed with just a Spirit Pill. They needed time to recuperate.


    Finally, Sand Notoginseng said, "Let''s retreat and regroup for now. We''ll wait for the next opportunity!"


    Xu Zhongqing was not happy about it, as he was eager to break the Sword Heart Sect''s formation so that he could obtain the Seed of the Divine Pill. However, with the odds being five to one, he couldn''t forcefullymand them to attack.


    "Attacking intermittently like this will make you regret it. We should attack with one breath and not give the enemy a chance to regroup. If we regroup, they will also regroup, and the battle will continue to drag on!" Xu Zhongqing said.


    Sand Notoginseng said sincerely, "Senior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill the conditions I promised. We will regroup first. Ban Jin''s injuries are too severe. If he can''t join the attack, our strength will be greatly reduced. Don''t worry, we will soonunch another attack on the Sword Heart Sect."


    Xu Zhongqing was unhappy, but he couldn''t say anything more.


    The six of them then flew towards a distant ce.


    In fact, Xu Zhongqing was right. When the Sword Heart Sectunched its attack, the entire formation was on the verge of copse. If the six of them persisted in attacking, the formation would bepletely unable to withstand it.


    The entire sect was in ruins, with half of the houses copsed and countlessndslides caused by rocks and soil, crushing many manors and houses. Only the area around the main peak was rtively intact because there were better defensive restrictions there.The final blow created a shockwave that killed at least a few hundred mortals, their internal organs shattered by an invisible pressure, dying silently. This was merely the aftermath. If one were near the point of impact, even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would likely lose half their life. For a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator directly facing it, death was certain.


    Even though this blow was delivered by the great sword formation, the cultivators presiding over the formation didn''t fare well either.


    All Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were injured, with many unable to withstand the shock and dying. Half of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were injured, with nearly all early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators severely wounded.


    The four Elemental Infant stage elders also suffered from the bacsh of the great sword formation. Although they were not injured, they would need to meditate for several days to recover.


    In other words, almost no one in the entire Heart Sect, from top to bottom, escaped unscathed. There were not many who remained unharmed. This attack from the Vast Gold Sect greatly damaged the vitality of the sect. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 134: Great chaos

    <h4>Chapter 134: Great chaos</h4>


    Yu Hong was extremely frightened because he found signs of the copse of the Great Sword Formation, and it had reached the point where it had to be stopped.


    If it wasn''t stopped, the formation could only hold on for a few more days before irreversible copse urred. Even if the senior who set up the formation appeared, they wouldn''t be able to save the Mountain-Protecting Great Sword Formation.


    Once the sword formation stopped, the enemy''s attacks would directly fall on the cultivators of the sect. Yu Hong was caught in a dilemma. After a while, he called the other elders and said, "The Great Sword Formation is no longer working. If it continues to operate, the Mountain-Protecting Sword Formation willpletely copse. What should we do?"


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Yes, I also noticed that the formation can''t hold on any longer. The core is damaged, and even though our counterattack wasn''t the strongest, it still caused significant damage to the Great Sword Formation. If we continue, copse is inevitable."


    Mo Chentian looked up at the sky and said, "I wonder if this attack can kill a few opponents... If we can kill one or two of them, even if we stop the formation, we can still handle it."


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "Instead of waiting for a few more days for the formation to copse, it''s better to stop it now. We must face them anyway!"


    Yu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, a few more days won''t make much difference."


    "I agree to stop the formation. What do you all think?"


    Yu Hong said solemnly. He knew very well that if they stopped the formation, there would still be a chance to repair it. If they didn''t stop it, the formation would bepletely useless. The most terrifying thing was that the formation was built on the Nine Peaks. Once the formation copsed, the Nine Peaks would copse as well, destroying everything.


    Mu Xiaoyin immediately said, "I also agree! Close the formation!"


    Mu Hengyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I agree too. Close the formation!"


    As the sect leader, Mo Chentian made the final decision and said, "Alright, let''s close it. When I issue the sect leader''s order, everyone should prepare for battle! Get ready to fight the enemy!"


    Mo Chentian crushed arge red jade pendant in his hand, and a sound wave instantly spread.


    The sect leader''s order echoed in the ears of all the cultivators, with only four words: "Prepare for battle!"


    Mi Xiaojing also heard it. At first, he thought it was Wang Weijun speaking, but then he noticed that Luo Bo and the others had strange expressions. Wei Fu even said, "Who is talking in my ear... What does ''prepare for battle'' mean?"


    Mu Xiaoyin understood. Even though she wasn''t a cultivator, she grew up in the sect and knew more than Wei Fu and the others. She said, "It should be the sect leader''s order, which all the cultivators in the sect can hear!"


    Luo Bo said, "I heard it too!"


    Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too."


    Mao Tou and Da Zhu vigorously nodded, indicating that they also heard it. Only Mu Xiaoyin felt a bit disappointed because she didn''t hear any sound at all. She was the only one here who wasn''t a cultivator.


    Mi Xiaojing became nervous. What did this mean? Prepare for battle? Who are they fighting against? Could it be that people from the Vast Gold Sect have invaded? Now he also knew that the sect''s enemy was the Vast Gold Sect. Of course, he had no animosity towards the Vast Gold Sect. The sect he used to be in was destroyed by the Heart Sect, so he wouldn''t have any sympathy if the Heart Sect was destroyed.


    But one thing was certain, once the sect was destroyed, the enemy wouldn''t know who you were or whether you had any grudges or love for the sect. They would kill you on sight. So Mi Xiaojing became nervous.


    The Heart Sect was already on high alert, and any slight movement would startle everyone. When the sect leader''s order was issued, the entire Heart Sect began to panic.


    The problem was that the Great Sword Formation couldn''t be activated or deactivated at will. There were many steps involved, and each guardian of the formation needed to perform a series of magical techniques and incantations to effectively close the formation.


    Yu Hong said, "Mu Junior Brother, youmand the closing of the formation. I must go out and see..."


    Everyone understood that they had to go out and see because they didn''t know what preparations the enemy had made. Even if they closed the formation, it didn''t mean they would surrender.


    Yu Hong flew out of the formation directly, and Mu Hengyuan began to give orders to systematically close the Great Sword Formation.


    Since all the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage were busy, there was no one to control the lower-level cultivators. Chaos immediately ensued, with fights breaking out between each other and those with grudges taking the opportunity to kill each other. Some lower-level cultivators even started looting.


    The entire sect was in chaos.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Let''s defend our home!"


    Zhang Ke said, "Let''s go to the backyard. There''s still some spiritual qi there, and the restrictions in the backyard are stronger, able to withstand general attacks."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Alright, let''s go to the backyard!"


    The group of them ran towards the backyard.The Gathering Spring Vi was Yu Hong''s private residence, beautifully constructed with its own Gathering Spirit Array, three spiritual springs, and a seclusion prohibition. Although the prohibition was not strong, it could prevent Foundation Establishment cultivators from intruding. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator tried to force their way in, it would alert the people in the backyard.


    Previously, when therge array was activated for attack, the spiritual Qi of the entire vi was drained. However, due to the gushing of the spiritual springs, the Qi recovered quickly. In such a short time, the Qi in the backyard had be dense. Although it had not reached the level of liquefaction, it was much stronger than the outside.


    If spiritual Qi were green nts, then the outside was now a desert, with the Qi almostpletely drained. It would be impossible to recover without a few dozen days.


    The area near the main peak of the sect was still calm, but the Nine Peaks region was inplete chaos. There were many estates and some markets under the Nine Peaks. The sect was like a superrge city, of course, with more trees than people, and mostly estates scattered within.


    Low-level cultivators were actually quite frustrated. Theycked resources, cultivation methods, connections, and everything else. If they couldn''t find opportunities on their own, falling behind would be inevitable. Usually, the sect kept order, and no one dared to cause trouble. But now, with the sect in trouble and most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators absent, many low-level cultivators became active.


    Among them, the number of masked robbers was simply too high. It wasmon to see groups of low-level cultivators, three to five in a group, daring to rob with a piece of ck cloth covering their faces. They would rob people, shops, and estates, as long as they encountered someone weaker than themselves, they would go straight up and rob.


    Some smarter low-level cultivators would choose their targets and locations for robbery, while some brainless and bold low-level cultivators had no scruples at all. They would rob whatever they caught, even robbing markets, or even estates under the main peak. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 135: Turmoil

    <h4>Chapter 135: Turmoil</h4>


    As the Sword Formation of the Mountain Protection closed, the restrictions near the main peak were also affected. Some of the restrictions were connected to the Sword Formation, so once the Sword Formation waspletely closed, these connected restrictions would also be closed.


    The so-calledplete closure means that even if it is attacked, the Sword Formation will not react at all. It no longer has the function of passively activating defense when attacked, which used to be always open. Even if the formation is closed, it will naturally activate defense when attacked. But now, it''s really gone.


    The first to be attacked was the mansion of the Sect Leader, Mo Chentian. The most fatal thing was that Mo Yuer was not in the mansion. Before the formation was opened, she was sent to the main hall of the sect by Mo Chentian''s people. There were extremely strong defensive restrictions there, and Mo Chentian didn''t want his daughter to be in danger.


    A group of low-level cultivators rushed into the mansion. They all knew what this ce was¡ªthe mansion of the Sect Leader. There must be a lot of good things here. As for the punishment for being caught, they didn''t even think about it. They would grab first and thinkter. In such a chaotic situation, they believed that the Sect Leader couldn''t possibly know who was robbing.


    There were quite a few people guarding the mansion, but none of them had a cultivation level higher than Foundation Establishment. They were all low-level cultivators. Among the cultivators who were robbing, many of them were actually guards of the mansion. They knew better where the good things were ced.


    There were two groups of people rushing into the mansion at the same time, starting to rob at the same time. The guards in the mansion didn''t resist at all. Many of them even directly covered their faces with ck cloth and joined in the robbery.


    There were still many mortals in the mansion, but who dared to intervene? They all obediently hugged their heads, found a corner against the wall, and squatted down, not looking at anything, not saying anything. Most of these people survived.


    After these people finished robbing, they rushed out with a roar. However, they ran in the wrong direction. It''s unknown whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the direction they ran was actually towards Mi Xiaojing''s Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    There were quite a few of them, a total of more than forty low-level cultivators. They were truly arge group of people. Each of them had their faces covered with ck cloth, and they walked with a murderous aura. They all believed that there couldn''t be any Foundation Establishment cultivators in the mansion now.


    Moreover, there was a rumor in the sect that Mi Xiaojing was the most outstanding Pill Master in the sect. As long as one was a Pill Master, they would be rich. This was unanimously recognized among the low-level cultivators in the sect. Such a person should have many good things at home.


    There were actually restrictions outside the front courtyard, but unfortunately, these restrictions were lifted along with the deactivation of the Sword Formation. Only the restrictions in the back courtyard remained. These people directly crashed through the courtyard wall and rushed into the front courtyard.


    Then they saw a person sitting leisurely at a stone table. His hands were ced on the table, and there was a long rectangr box on the table. The person tilted his head and looked at them.


    There was also an iron rod beside the stone table, just an ordinary iron rod, as thick as a duck egg, and about half the height of a person. It was leaning against the stone table, and it was unclear what it was used for.


    These guys were also fierce. They shouted as soon as they entered, "There must be good stuff in this house! Let''s rob!"


    "Brothers! We''re going to get rich!"


    "Kid, get out of the way! Don''t block us, or we''ll beat you up!"


    "Haha! Charge! Charge!"


    These people all had their faces covered, and their words were full of excitement and excitement. Mi Xiaojing found it funny. He tapped the stone table with one hand, making a ttering sound, while his other hand was already on the iron rod.


    The distance between the courtyard wall and the stone table was about a few hundred steps. The first few people rushed forward with their teeth and ws, and one of them even held a magical sword, intimidating Mi Xiaojing, "Kid, either get lost or join us in robbing!"


    Rob together?


    Such a brainless thing could also be said. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t even react. He was still wondering, "This is my own home. The things here are mine. Am I going to rob my own things? Is there such a funny thing?"


    What Mi Xiaojing didn''t expect was that they didn''t think he was the owner of this house, but thought he was just a servant or a servant. So as long as he was willing, robbing the master''s house would be reasonable, and the servants of the master would be more familiar with where the master hid things.


    "Hey, take us to the storeroom!"


    The cultivator with the magical sword pointed at Mi Xiaojing and shouted. The others also realized it, and they all rushed towards Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing stood up with a smile. He could see clearly that these were all low-level cultivators, at most at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. Compared to himself, they were nowhere near in terms of cultivation level or means. He couldn''t understand how these people suddenly became so foolish and dared to rob the residence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    He didn''t even feel like using his Thunder Sword, let alone the Green Wood Formation. Mi Xiaojing picked up the iron rod and greeted them.


    When Mi Xiaojing stood up with the iron rod, someone immediately recognized him.


    "Run! He''s a Foundation Establishment senior!"


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly leaped up andnded directly at the copsed courtyard wall. He swung the iron rod in a backhand strike, knocking down one person. He smiled and said, "Since you''re here, don''t leave!"


    Crackling sounds of strikes.


    Mi Xiaojing moved like a ghost, attacking from all directions. In an instant, he knocked down more than a dozen people. The others were dumbfounded and couldn''t believe that they had encountered the owner while robbing. It was like a person with a job robbing their own boss. It was no longer just unlucky.At first, he was using an iron rod to whip and smash. After a few hits, Mi Xiaojing felt unsatisfied. He found it more satisfying to use his fists. So, he fiercely swung the iron rod, knocking down several people who wanted to rush into the room, and then started to beat them with his fists.


    Themotion in the front yard quickly alerted the people in the back yard. Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, and Mu Xiaoyin all rushed out.


    Then they were stunned, watching Mi Xiaojing like a tiger among sheep, punching and kicking all the way. No one could withstand a single blow, either being knocked down by a punch or kicked and heavily smashed to the ground. No one could withstand Mi Xiaojing''s attack.


    While the others were still in a daze, Luo Bo''s eyes were shining. He roared and rushed towards the crowd that was still running around. With a thunderous sound, his Thunder Strike Dagger flew out.


    Mi Xiaojing hurriedly said, "Don''t kill!"


    Mi Xiaojing was not naturally inclined to kill. It was just that his circumstances forced him to pursue martial power. As for these petty thieves, Mi Xiaojing truly had no intention to kill. Essentially, he was different from the Cultivators. The impact of Evolutionary Immortality on him was too great. After all, it was something he had been learning since childhood, and it was very difficult to change.


    Others'' words, Luo Bo would not heed, but as long as it was Mi Xiaojing''s words, he would absolutely not disobey.


    Using the Thunder Strike Dagger could indeed kill, so Luo Bo put away the dagger. He spotted the iron rod on the ground, grabbed it, and then rushed into the crowd. To be continued.

 Chapter 136: Strip naked?

    <h4>Chapter 136: Strip naked?</h4>


    Luo Bo was absolutely fearless in fights, and his strong momentum made people with higher cultivation levels than him want to avoid him. When they saw himing, they couldn''t help but panic. This fearless momentum was probably rted to his childhood experiences.


    More than forty people didn''t run away, they were all beaten and lying on the ground. Anyone who dared to get up would be beaten by Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo. Soon, everyone understood that they would get beaten if they got up, but nothing would happen if they stayed down. So they all obedientlyy on the ground, waiting for Mi Xiaojing to deal with them.


    These people regretted it deeply in their hearts. They had robbed without restraint and didn''t stop when they should have. Now they were really in trouble. If they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, they would be in big trouble.


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "Take off the cloth on your faces!"


    These low-level cultivators were all scared. They knew that they were going to be held ountable. What should they do? They definitely couldn''t win in a fight. The other party was at the Foundation Establishment stage, while they were only at the Qi Refining stage. There was a natural gap in cultivation levels that couldn''t be crossed. They were all on the verge of tears and could only obediently take off the ck cloth covering their faces.


    Mu Xiaoyin looked at them in astonishment. Many of them were familiar faces, including low-level cultivators from Grass-Benevolence Hall. They all looked at Mi Xiaojing with fear.


    Mi Xiaojing had encountered a robbery once before, but he turned the tables and robbed the robbers instead. That time, he even obtained a storage bag, and this time he had the same idea.


    He didn''t want to kill these people. As an Evolutionary Immortality cultivator, he had a strong concept of cause and effect. Unless the other party wanted to kill him, he wouldn''t actively kill them. This was different from his philosophy.


    "Luo Bo, search them. Don''t leave anything for them."


    Luo Bo instantly understood Mi Xiaojing''s meaning and became overjoyed. He said, "I''ll do it! I''ll do it! Haha!" He was also a person who was afraid of poverty. If he had the opportunity to rob, he wouldn''t let it go.


    "Do we need to strip their clothes?"


    Many of these people were dressed gorgeously, which made Luo Bo have the urge to strip them.


    Mi Xiaojing actually had the same idea, but as a senior cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn''t bring himself to do such a thing.


    These low-level cultivators were instantly terrified. If they were stripped naked, they would really lose face and wouldn''t be able to show themselves in public anymore. They wailed and begged for mercy.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Forget about the clothes, take out everything else. Hmph, if you don''t take them out, then we''ll strip you naked! Put your things on the ground."


    The spirit stones were taken away without saying a word. The storage bags were also taken. Then they selected the things they needed. Mi Xiaojing took some useful items, and then Zhang Ke searched around, Luo Bo searched around, Wei Fu searched around, and the others also searched around. There weren''t many things left that they could keep.


    Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing didn''t allow them to strip their clothes. Not to mention that Luo Bo had the urge to do so, Zhang Ke also had the same urge. He was responsible for the logistics of Gathering Spring Branch, so he saw everything as useful. Mi Xiaojing only selected what he could use, but after going through Zhang Ke''s hands, there was really nothing left.


    These low-level cultivators suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They realized that Mi Xiaojing was only robbing them and didn''t n to send them to the Law Enforcement Hall. As long as they escaped, they could still rob others. Although they had lost a lot, as long as they escaped, they could still make up for it.


    Mu Xiaoyin asked in a low voice, "How should we deal with them? Should we send them to the Law Enforcement Hall?" In her concept, when encountering such a situation, sending them to the Law Enforcement Hall was the correct choice.


    This question made all the low-level cultivators break out in a cold sweat. If they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, they would really be finished.


    "Senior, spare us! We admit our mistakes, please don''t send us to the Law Enforcement Hall!"


    Mi Xiaojing originally didn''t n to send them to the Law Enforcement Hall. After finding so many things, if they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, these things would probably not be left.


    One cultivator shouted for mercy, and everyone else followed suit.


    There was a chorus of voices.


    "We admit our mistakes!"


    "We admit our mistakes, please don''t send us to the Law Enforcement Hall!"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled. He said, "Admit your mistakes? How do you admit them? How do you get punished?" It was unexpected that there would be such a good thing, which instantly improved his mood.


    Among this group of people, Mi Xiaojing recognized a few of them, including Hong Qing''s disciples, Chen Zhong and Chen Er Gou, as well as Xiao Liu, who had fought Luo Bo before. They were all lying on the ground, admitting their mistakes.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Alright, since you want me to punish you, then I''ll make a request. Those who can''t fulfill it will be sent to the Law Enforcement Hall!"


    "Senior, we agree! We agree!"


    This time, everyone agreed without hesitation.


    In fact, these low-level cultivators didn''t have much wealth. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t demand a price that they couldn''t bear. He only fined them with some spirit stones, ranging from ten to a few pieces.


    For a low-level disciple, such as a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator, they might not even gain a few spirit stones in a year. Even if they were fined more, they couldn''t afford it.


    The spirit stones that Mi Xiaojing demanded were within their means. Each person left their name, address, and a written confession. In the future, if they had spirit stones to exchange, they could use them to redeem their confession. No one opposed these conditions, and Mi Xiaojing gained an additional ie of spirit stones.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t suffer any losses. On the contrary, he gained arge sum of spirit stones, so he was in a good mood. His attitude towards these low-level cultivators also improved. He said, "Alright, you can go now. Remember,e back with spirit stones to redeem your confession."


    Actually, when Mi Xiaojing saw the written confessions, he was a little dumbfounded. They had even robbed Mo Yuer''s mansion. They were really audacious. They should know that Mo Yuer was the daughter of Sect Leader Mo Chentian. If they were caught, it would really be life-threatening.With this kind of confession letter, Mi Xiaojing was not afraid that they wouldn''te. This was leverage, holding these people''s weaknesses in his hand, they dared not refuse.


    "Right, that Chen Zhong, and Chen Ergou, stay. The rest of you can leave!"


    Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou broke out in a cold sweat. They used to think about taking revenge on Mi Xiaojing, but ever since Mi Xiaojing advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, theypletely chickened out. This time, the two of them were at the back of the group. As soon as they entered, they saw Mi Xiaojing and were almost scared to death. Neither of them were knocked down by Mi Xiaojing, but rather, they consciouslyy on the ground, terrified without even being hit.


    They didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing would let everyone else go, leaving only the two of them.


    Chen Zhong''s face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely. He trembled as he said to Chen Ergou, "We''re done for, we''re going to, going to, going to die."


    Chen Ergou had a mournful look on his face, and he stammered, "What, what, what should we do? Should, should we, should we bring, bring the master out?"


    "Even if the masteres, it won''t help. They, they are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, they are our peers."

 Chapter 137: Hong Qings movements

    <h4>Chapter 137: Hong Qing''s movements</h4>


    The two of them were face to face, trembling and stuttering in their conversation. Although their voices were small, Mi Xiaojing could still hear them clearly.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t n to do anything to the two of them. He just wanted to understand Hong Qing''s situation. After all, he had fought with Hong Qing and knew that this guy wanted to kill him. Mi Xiaojing would naturally be concerned.


    A group of cultivators heard Mi Xiaojing''s order to leave and immediately ran out, stumbling and calling out, "Thank you, sir, thank you, senior..."


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh and cry. He was robbed and deceived, yet they still said thank you. This was beyond his imagination.


    "There are still many mansions to the west of the foot of the mountain..."


    Mi Xiaojing said softly.


    The crowd was originally heading east, but after Mi Xiaojing said this, they immediately turned around and headed west. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but smirk. He had no intention of protecting the Heart Sect. As long as they didn''te to his ce, the more chaotic, the better.


    The group of people disappeared outside the courtyard, leaving the two lying on the ground.


    Zhang Ke moved a stone stool and asked Mi Xiaojing to sit down, just a little in front of their heads.


    After Mi Xiaojing sat down, he said, "Turn over!" The two of them were lying face down, and when they heard Mi Xiaojing''s words, they trembled even more. Turning over meant extreme danger, but they didn''t dare to object and obediently turned over.


    Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t help but chuckle. She found the two of them extremely funny.


    Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou''s appearance was really funny, like two dogs lying on their backs.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you..." He gave them a peace pill first. Otherwise, he felt that they would be scared to death. Their bodies were shaking like sieves, and their teeth were chattering.


    As soon as Mi Xiaojing finished speaking, the two of them stopped trembling. As long as they didn''t die, everything was negotiable.


    "Thank you, Master!"


    "Master is a good person..."


    Looking at the two ttering smiles, Mi Xiaojing was speechless. They were cultivators after all. They should have some dignity, right? Mi Xiaojing suddenly understood that these two would not achieve much. They probably couldn''t even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Qi Refining stage. If cultivators didn''t have a bit of character and temperament, it would be difficult for them to progress. This was the difference in realms.


    "What is Hong Qing doing now? Is he in his own mansion or in the Grass-Benevolence Hall?"


    "You mean Master? Oh, we really don''t know what Master has been doingtely..."


    Chen Zhong heard that they wouldn''t be killed, so he spoke fluently. However, his answer didn''t satisfy Mi Xiaojing.


    Luo Bo was holding an iron rod on the side. He didn''t understand much, but he knew Mi Xiaojing''s likes and dislikes. When he saw Mi Xiaojing frown slightly, he raised his hand and struck one of them with the rod. "Answer properly! Not killing you doesn''t mean I won''t beat you!"


    This strike and reprimand made Luo Bo ecstatic. He felt so refreshed.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t stop Luo Bo. This guy deserved a beating. Mi Xiaojing didn''t like killing, but that didn''t mean he wouldn''t hit someone. He said, "So, where is your Master?"


    Chen Ergou nced at Chen Zhong, who was holding his stomach, and hurriedly said, "Don''t hit, don''t hit, I''ll tell you! I''ll tell you!"


    "Master, Master is in the mansion, he has always been there. He hasn''t been out recently, but we really don''t know what he''s doing. He doesn''t even see us."


    "He hasn''t met any guests or gathered anyone?"


    "No, really not, I swear!"


    Chen Ergou raised both hands, looking innocent. Mu Xiaoyin couldn''t help but chuckle again. She couldn''t help butugh when she saw these two who used to bully others in such a sorry state. She really despised them.


    Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment. These two guys were like dead dogs, not moving at all.


    Luo Bo, bored, held the iron rod. He wanted to hit Chen Zhong or Chen Ergou again, but he couldn''t find an excuse for it at the moment. So he just poked Chen Zhong or Chen Ergou when he had nothing to do. Neither of them dared to make a sound. Fortunately, Luo Bo didn''t use much force. Even if they were poked, it didn''t hurt. They didn''t even show an angry expression, just a pleasing smile as they looked at Luo Bo.


    Even Mi Xiaojing was disgusted by this. He said, "Be serious, stop fooling around!"


    Luo Bo immediately became spirited and raised his hand to strike one person with the rod. "Stopughing!"


    The two of them felt wronged. They were just trying to please, and they were still being beaten? They couldn''t live like this.


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing waved his hand and said, "Go, you have nothing to do with me anymore. Remember, don''t spread rumors outside!"


    The two of them swore that they wouldn''t, helped each other up, but didn''t dare to leave immediately. They looked pitifully at Mi Xiaojing, afraid that they had offended him again.


    Luo Bo took the opportunity to hit their buttocks with the rod and shouted, "Get lost!"


    Only then did the two of them leave stumblingly. When they ran, they didn''t even dare to look back.


    Should he go and kill them while the sect was in chaos?


    No, he should discuss it with Wang Weijun.


    Mi Xiaojing focused his mind on his dantian and began to summon Wang Weijun.


    Then he saw Wang Weijun emerge from the Heart Tower and sit next to the puppet, still wearing a green robe and having white hair and beard.


    Wang Weijun had just stabilized his cultivation level, and his Elemental Infant was no longer on the verge of copse. He was in a better mood.


    "What''s the matter?"Mi Xiaojing recounted the changes that had urred within the entire sect, and then mentioned that Hong Qing had not left his own estate.


    Wang Weijun pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems the enemy is quite formidable... Hmm, I believe... you should take the initiative to attack, set an ambush outside Hong Qing''s estate! Take him out proactively!"


    If one intends to annihte the opponent, there should be no dilly-dallying or dragging of feet. To take out the opponent, one must attack proactively. This was a belief deeply ingrained in Wang Weijun. No mercy, no passivity, no hesitation, dealing with the opponent swiftly and cleanly was the best approach.


    "A dead enemy is a good enemy!"


    Mi Xiaojing listened in astonishment, but he also somewhat agreed in his heart. He knew what it felt like to have an enemy lurking in the shadows, it was aplete unrest, forcing him to keep his family within the courtyard, unable to venture out. It was truly unbearable.


    Wang Weijun said, "Actually, killing Hong Qing is a minor matter. The real threat is the people attacking your sect... You''d better prepare early. In the Cultivation World, once a sect extermination battle urs, basically all cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above are targets for ughter. The so-called ''nip the evil in the bud'', they won''t spare any cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Do you know why?"


    "Because, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage already possess infinite potential. If one or two escape, it''s tolerable. But if many escape, heh heh, once any one of them seeds, the retaliation will be terrifying. Such incidents are numerous in the Cultivation World, with all kinds of legends and cruelty. They dare not take the risk." (To be continued.)

 Chapter 138: Mudslides

    <h4>Chapter 138: Mudslides</h4>


    "So, you need to consider your way out. If the Sword Heart Sect wins, you can continue to live here and cultivate with the support of the sect. But if the sect is destroyed, you need to think about how to escape. And it''s not just you, you have to bring your whole family with you. You need to understand that bringing these people with you is a burden and will exhaust you!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "They won''t exhaust me. They are all my family. Of course, I will bring them with me! I don''t like being alone, I like everyone to act together... They are still weak now, but when they grow up, they will not be a burden, but a help."


    In fact, Wang Weijun had also thought about it. If he had a fewpanions back then, he wouldn''t have been driven to a dead end. Although it is convenient and free to travel alone, it is also a pitiful thing when being chased without anyone to help. So it can''t be said that Mi Xiaojing''s approach is wrong.


    "Alright, it''s your own choice. I won''t express my opinion."


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated in his heart, "Should I set up an ambush?"


    Wang Weijun said, "You came to ask for my opinion, and my opinion is to take the initiative and not regret not taking action when you are on the verge of death!"


    Wang Weijun''s figure suddenly disappeared from the heart tower, and his voice once again reached Mi Xiaojing.


    "I''m still busy, don''t bother me..."


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the ce where Wang Weijun disappeared, feeling a bit annoyed in his heart. He couldn''t help but think, "No, I''m too polite... The old man is starting to be impolite. Hmph, I can''t always please him. This old man is strange. If I confront him, he has a good attitude. But if I have a good attitude, he bes unfriendly..."


    As his divine sense exited the dan tian, Mi Xiaojing saw Luo Bo looking at him with a nervous expression, his dark eyes fixed on him. Curious, Mi Xiaojing asked, "Why are you still here? Aren''t you going to cultivate?"


    Luo Bo''s expression rxed slightly, and he said, "Little Mi, you just... um, it''s like... " He couldn''t describe it. Mi Xiaojing seemed to have lost his soul just now, but he didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing''s divine sense was all in his dan tian.


    Mi Xiaojing reached out and touched his head, saying, "I''m fine, don''t worry. Go and cultivate."


    Luo Bo hesitated for a moment, "Are you really okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing felt warm in his heart. The little guy was worried about him. He smiled and said, "I''m fine, really. Go and cultivate."


    Only then did Luo Bo take Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu to the backyard to cultivate, and Mu Xiaoyin followed along.


    Zhang Ke said, "Are you just letting them go like this?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "What else can we do?"


    Zhang Ke said, "Why not report to the Enforcement Hall? This kind of rampant robbery..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There''s no need... This is not our home..."


    With just this sentence, Zhang Ke understood. Thinking of the Western Expansion Sect, he nodded and said, "That''s true. It''s not our business, so we don''t need to care. Sigh, you''ve grown up..."


    Although Zhang Ke called Mi Xiaojing "Junior Master," he still saw him as a child in his heart. He watched Mi Xiaojing grow up little by little, and his feelings for Mi Xiaojing were deep.


    As Mi Xiaojing grew up, Zhang Ke also knew that the little guy gradually had his own thoughts, his own way of doing things, and his own style. These were things that he couldn''t influence. He said, "Do what you think is right, but make sure you stay safe. Xiao Luobo and the others need you."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded vigorously and said, "Don''t worry, I will be careful."


    Only then did Zhang Ke go to the backyard. Now he also knew that he had to hurry up and cultivate. His idea was simple. Fighting was one thing, but at least when running away, he shouldn''t drag everyone down. So he had to focus on cultivation. Once his cultivation level improved, he could run faster.


    Recently, Zhang Ke had been eating much less because his overweight body would affect his speed when running away.


    After Zhang Ke left, Mi Xiaojing began to ponder the possibility of setting up an ambush. After thinking for a long time, he still felt it was unrealistic. It was too difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to set up an ambush on the ground when the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage could fly. Hong Qing had this problem back then, which was why he found someone to scheme against Mi Xiaojing. That was how Mi Xiaojing didn''t fall into the trap.


    So if he wanted to set up an ambush, he had to make Hong Qing walk into the trap he set. This was the difficult part for Mi Xiaojing. He had never had the concept of scheming and plotting.


    This kind of scheming really troubled Mi Xiaojing. After thinking for a long time, he couldn''te up with a good solution, so he had to give up. He believed that only the old man was good at this kind of scheming, but unfortunately, he had just asked and didn''t want to trouble Wang Weijun any further.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing was quite open-minded. He wasn''t a person with a strong revenge mentality. Although he was angry and helpless when he was captured by the Sword Heart Sect and the Western Expansion Sect was destroyed, he didn''t have much desire for revenge. Of course, he had the intention to kill Han Chang because he saw Han Chang kill Master Zeng Li, and that pain had always stayed in his heart.


    As for the others, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have much hatred towards them. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have cultivated and stayed in the Sword Heart Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing himself didn''t know that he had an easy-going personality.


    Let''s move on!


    Mi Xiaojing quickly put aside the idea of setting up an ambush. If Wang Weijun knew, he would probably be angry and curse. He liked cultivators who were decisive in killing. When facing threats, they should be eliminated before they have a chance to grow. There should be no time and space for them to develop.


    ..................When the grand formation waspletely shut down, a violent wind swept through the mountains. The surrounding air quickly filled in, as the Spiritual Qi within the sect''s boundary had beenpletely drained, creating a low-pressure state. When the grand formation was closed, the external air and Spiritual Qi all rushed in, and with the violent wind, the sky also darkened.


    A sh of lightning streaked across, followed by a loud crack, the sound of thunder rolling across the sky. Then, a downpour began, nketing the entire sect in a white mist.


    Yu Hong looked worriedly at the heavy rain, saying, "Junior Brother Mo, you''d better organize some manpower. Looking at this rain, it won''t stop for a while. The previous shock from the grand formation has caused many ces..." His voice trailed off as he heard a rumbling sound from the distance. He knew instantly that andslide had urred.


    Mo Chentian''s face also changed, and he instantly dashed out.


    "I''ll go organize the manpower!"


    Although the mortals of the Heart Sect were not valuable, the mortals within the sect were all connected to the cultivators, and the sect could not ignore them.


    There werendslides everywhere.


    From top to bottom, the Heart Sect was in a state of panic, a situation the sect had never experienced before.


    Even Mi Xiaojing and his family could no longer continue their cultivation, because the sect ordered that everyone should go to rescue people. Houses and supplies could be abandoned, but people must be saved! (To be continued.)

 Chapter 139: Saving people

    <h4>Chapter 139: Saving people</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing had no objections to saving people. Saving people was a good deed, and he was willing to do it.


    After receiving the order, Mi Xiaojing set off with the others. He didn''t dare to go alone to rescue, so he had to bring a group of little brothers with him and walk to the rescue area. Zhang Ke did not go, someone had to stay at home.


    The manor and houses at the foot of the mountain were in a bad state. The mudslides poured down and there was nothing to stop them. Of course, if there were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could resist to some extent, but Qi Refining cultivators had no way to do so and could only escape.


    The order this time was very strict. If one did not participate in the rescue, not only would they lose the opportunity to cultivate in the sect, but their cultivation level could also be abolished. In severe cases, they could be killed. At the same time, the sect also ordered that anyone who dared to rob at this time would be captured.


    Mi Xiaojing also received this order and couldn''t help butugh. He had more than forty confessions in his hands. If the Enforcement Hall got hold of them, these low-level cultivators would be in trouble. They would either die or suffer greatly.


    Since they couldn''t fly and were apanied by a group of children, Mi Xiaojing and his group were very slow. The road they walked on was extremely difficult, and they often needed Mi Xiaojing''s help to bring them out of dangerous areas.


    Along the way, many sections of the road were submerged by mudslides. With Mi Xiaojing''s help, they finally arrived at the foot of Qingmu Peak. As disciples of Grass-Benevolence Hall, their task was to go back and rescue, but they didn''t know who they were going to rescue yet.


    It was pouring rain, as if the sky was leaking. The rainwater poured down, and the ears were filled with the sound of rushing water. The streams had be rivers, and the low-lying valleys were flooded. Many ancient trees could only show a little bit of their treetops, and many houses werepletely submerged. Countless debris floated on the water.


    There were also animal corpses mixed in the water, as well as human corpses. From time to time, they could see some livestock struggling in the water. Mi Xiaojing even saw a dense cluster of snakes coiled on the treetop of a big tree, which made his scalp tingle.


    Mi Xiaojing and the others took a big detour before arriving at the foot of Qingmu Peak. The entire Qingmu Peak was in ruins. There were huge gaps on the originally lush mountain slope, formed byndslides, revealing rocks and mud.


    Under Qingmu Peak, there were countless manors, including Lu Liu Manor. Fortunately, Lu Liu Manor was still a distance away from the foot of the mountain and had not been affected yet. However, many houses had copsed, and there was another life-threatening problem: the creek had surged due to the heavy rain, and the entire manor was flooded.


    Mi Xiaojing and his group had a difficult timeing here. Cultivators had already appeared in the sky andnded near the manor.


    With the strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators, rescuing people was an easy task. However, there were too many manors and too few Foundation Establishment cultivators. Especially after the defense of the sword formation, many cultivators were seriously injured, and even fewer were able toe. These people generally went back to their own manors for rescue first.


    Mi Xiaojing and a few others immediately saw arge vige. This vige was near the manor and was surrounded byrge tracts of farnd, which were nowpletely submerged.


    This vige was where ordinary people lived, and there were almost no cultivatorsing to rescue at this time. They were most concerned about their own manors, while this vige was a tenant of the sect. They rented the sect''s farnd and paid rent every year. They were the most hardworking and lowest-level ordinary people in the sect.


    Apart from paying rent, they had no other benefits from the sect. If something happened, the sect would not care.


    Most of the houses had copsed, and only a few were still submerged in water, with only half of the roofs exposed. The roofs were crowded with people, and under the impact of the water flow, they made creaking sounds and seemed to copse at any moment.


    Fortunately, there were dense trees in this area, and many big trees had not fallen. The trees were also crawling with people, looking dense and eerie.


    Mi Xiaojing flew into the air and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. How could he save them?


    After thinking for a while, Mi Xiaojing still couldn''t find a solution. At this time, Wang Weijun spoke, "Idiot, either find a small flying boat or make wooden rafts. If you save them one by one, it will be toote."


    Mi Xiaojing grew up in the mountains and had no concept of wooden rafts. He asked curiously, "Wooden raft? What is that?"


    Wang Weijun had no choice but to directly pass on the concept to him. This kind of knowledge transmission didn''t require any effort, so in an instant, Mi Xiaojing understood what a wooden raft was. It was a tform made by tying pieces of wood together, which could float on the water and was easy to make.


    For ordinary people, making a wooden raft was a difficult task, but for cultivators, it was extremely simple. They could even use some small restrictions.


    Mi Xiaojing exined the principle of the wooden raft and then led a group of people to start cutting down trees on the uphill slope. With a wave of his flying sword, arge number of trees fell, and then he used the flying sword to cut off the branches, cing the wooden rafts side by side and connecting them with a hand technique.


    Luo Bo and a few children pushed the wooden rafts into the water and made five wooden rafts in a row. They also found some long wooden sticks to support the rafts in the water.


    Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, and Mu Xiaoyin, a total of five wooden rafts, floated towards the vige along the water surface of the downhill slope. The vige was not far from here, and the five wooden rafts quickly approached them.


    Seeing the five wooden raftsing, the tenants became excited.


    Mi Xiaojing shouted, "Don''t panic,e up in order. We will save you. Anyone who dares to act recklessly will be thrown into the water!" He had to say this, because if they all rushed up, the wooden rafts were so small that idents would happen.


    These tenants respected cultivators like gods, and no one dared to challenge the authority of cultivators. Following Mi Xiaojing''s instructions, they obediently boarded the wooden rafts. Mi Xiaojing first saved the children, the elderly, and the women, and finally the young men.


    Luo Bo and the others did the same, following Mi Xiaojing''s orders to save the children, the elderly, and the women first, and finally the young men.After cultivating, even Luo Bo possessed immense strength. Coupled with some other methods, the wooden rafts were quickly set up in a proper manner.


    The five rafts, carrying people, quickly returned to the side of the hill. After unloading the passengers, they went back to the vige.


    In this way, bit by bit, every tenant farmer who arrived at the hillside sincerely kowtowed in gratitude. They didn''t dare to say much. Cultivators were indeed high above them, and the reason they didn''t dare to speak was for fear of offending anyone.


    Then, Mi Xiaojing discovered a secret. When the farmers knelt down to express their gratitude, his heart tower became extraordinarily active, giving him an indescribable sense offort. It felt as if his thoughts were bing clearer, which greatly surprised him.


    However, Luo Bo and the others didn''t feel anything. Mu Xiaoyin, who was also pursuing Evolutionary Immortality, had the same feeling. She even felt that her cultivation level was subtly increasing. However, she wasn''t as sensitive as Mi Xiaojing and didn''t pay too much attention to this matter. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 140: The Luo family

    <h4>Chapter 140: The Luo family</h4>


    The person on the big tree was quickly transported to the hillside, and then the people on the roof were treated.


    With the help of five wooden rafts, the transportation capacity was quite impressive. One person on the roof could be transported away with two or three wooden rafts. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the vige. At this time, the wooden rafts arrived at the back of the vige, where there was arge house with people standing on the roof.


    When the wooden rafts approached, Luo Bo suddenly trembled all over. Mi Xiaojing was next to him, also holding onto a wooden raft. He looked up and couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Mi Xiaojing also recognized the people on the roof, Luo Bo''s family, including Luo Bo''s grandfather and arge group of people. When they saw the wooden raftsing, they couldn''t help but cheer.


    Luo Bo froze on the wooden raft.


    His hands were trembling violently, and childhood nightmares came rushing back. Mi Xiaojing was only seven or eight meters away from Luo Bo. He flew over and grabbed his hand, saying, "Luo Bo, calm down!"


    Luo Bo''s face turned pale. He looked at the people on the roof, then at Mi Xiaojing. After a while, he said, "Brother Xiao Mi, what should I do?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Calm down. There are some things you must face on your own! You are already a cultivator now, and you have the ability to solve this problem."


    Therge family on the roof also noticed that something was wrong. They stopped cheering and stared at the people on the wooden rafts. Then, someone suddenly eximed, "Isn''t this the little bastard? A freeloader..." He realized something was wrong and quickly shut up.


    Just this sentencepletely angered Mi Xiaojing. He turned around abruptly and shouted, "Who said that! Come out!" Then he flew into the air and looked down at everyone.


    Luo Bo''s grandfather, the old man who was good at speaking, raised his hand and pped the person who had just spoken, bowing and saying, "The children in our family don''t know any better. Please... please forgive us, Immortal!"


    "Brother Xiao Mi,e down. I''ve made up my mind."


    Mi Xiaojingnded and looked at Luo Bo''s pale face with a heartache. He said, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you, brother!"


    Luo Bo said, "Brother Xiao Mi, please save them. I don''t want to see them anymore..."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, and a relieved expression appeared on his face. Luo Bo''s choice, although unexpected, showed a hint of kindness. He didn''t seek revenge or rescue. This was already his most difficult decision.


    Luo Bo said as he paddled the wooden raft towards another direction to continue rescuing people.


    Only then did Mi Xiaojing fly back to his own wooden raft and let it approach the roof. He said, "You are lucky to meet a good kid like Luo Bo. Come up!"


    Luo Bo''s grandfather had a look of shame on his face. He didn''t dare to say much. Seeing that Mi Xiaojing could fly into the air, he knew that Luo Bo was better off following him. He felt regretful in his heart. If they hadn''t treated this child cruelly in the past, perhaps he would have been the pir of the family.


    The whole family got on the wooden raft cautiously. No one dared to speak. They all sat down obediently and waited for the wooden raft to start.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t waste any words. He didn''t even want to talk to this family. Holding onto a wooden pole, he swung the wooden raft towards the hillside. Luo Bo''s grandfather wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he closed his mouth.


    Mi Xiaojing also saw the ugly man who imed to be Luo Bo''s father. He sat there ufortably, burying his head between his knees from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.


    After a while, the wooden raft reached the hillside. The whole family got off the wooden raft and onto the hillside. Luo Bo''s grandfather wanted to say something, but Mi Xiaojing waved his hand and said, "Don''t say anything. It''s already difficult enough for Luo Bo to save you. Live your own lives well and don''t bother him in the future."


    During the rescue, the heavy rain hadpletely stopped, and the rising water gradually receded after about half a day.


    Mi Xiaojing brought Luo Bo and the others back to his own courtyard.


    Seeing Luo Bo in a low mood, his friends tried to persuade him, but Mi Xiaojing said, "Let him be quiet, don''t disturb him."


    .


    Luo Bo nced gratefully at Mi Xiaojing and said, "I''m fine. I''m going to cultivate."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Little Radish, when it''s time to let go, let go. If there''s something on your mind, don''t bury it." He knew that this kind of persuasion was weak, but he still said it. Only by letting the little guy let go of his burdens could he walk the path of cultivation more easily.


    Luo Bo nodded vigorously and said, "They are them, and I am me... Brother Xiao Mi, don''t worry."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Everyone take a rest. Those who want to cultivate can go to the backyard, and those who don''t want to cultivate can rest."


    Zhang Ke walked out of the room and said, "Let''s eat first. We have something delicious today."


    Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu cheered and ran towards the kitchen on the side. Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt better and smiled as he followed them in.


    The sect''s rescue operation quickly came to an end. With the cessation of the heavy rain, the water level rapidly receded, and the sect once again ordered preparations for battle.There was no other way. The mountain-protecting sword array of the sect had been shut down, leaving the entire sect exposed and its danger level drastically increased. Even if many disciples were injured, even if they were exhausted to the extreme, at this critical moment of life and death, the sect could only order to prepare for battle.


    This time, even Mi Xiaojing was no exception. He had to refine a batch of Spirit Pills and provide them to the sect for free. These were Spirit Pills used in the Elemental Infant stage, all materials were supplied by the sect, but there was no reward. It was considered a sect task.


    Before leaving, Mi Xiaojing was worried about Luo Bo and the others at home, fearing that Hong Qing would take this opportunity to attack directly. He simply set up the Qingmu g at home. Once the Qingmu g was activated, he would immediately know that there was danger. By then, it would be toote to rush back.


    This sect task was a mustplete. Mi Xiaojing knew he couldn''t resist, so after handling everything at home, he rushed to the Pill Room of Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    Not only did Mi Xiaojing have a task, but Chen Shouyi, Hong Qing, Li Huai, and even those stewards who were not good at alchemy, were also required to hand in a certain amount of Spirit Pills. The sect actually still had a lot of Spirit Pills stored, but once the war started, there would not be enough Spirit Pills, especially various healing pills.


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing arrived at the cave entrance outside the Pill Room.


    He saw Hong Qing standing there at a nce, with Chen Shouyi next to him, Li Huai and Guan Shangli standing a little further away, and Mu Hengyuan standing at the entrance of the cave.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing falling from the sky, Mu Hengyuan stepped forward and said, "Xiao Mi is here,e to me."


    A hint of jealousy shed in Chen Shouyi''s eyes, but on the surface, he still looked as if nothing had happened. Only Hong Qing, when he saw Mi Xiaojing, looked like he wanted to eat him, staring fiercely. But as soon as Mi Xiaojing''s gaze swept over, he immediately turned his face away, no longer looking at him.


    Mu Hengyuan smiled at Mi Xiaojing. As for Mi Xiaojing, the attitudes of the elders were very consistent, that was to seriously cultivate him, give him the best resources, the best treatment. If Mi Xiaojing could grow into an Alchemy Grandmaster, then he would be the hidden strength of the Heart Sect. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 141: Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 141: Ambush</h4>


    The higher Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy level, the more benefits he would receive from the sect''s higher-ups. The sect''s higher-ups were well aware of this, which was one of the reasons why Mu Hengyuan weed Mi Xiaojing with a smile.


    "Greetings, Elder!"


    Mu Hengyuan waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, Xiao Mi. I hope you can wholeheartedlyplete this sect mission. Rest assured, the sect will definitely not treat you unfairly. The main focus is on the Nurturing Infant Pill. I hope you can refine several batches."


    Then he turned to Chen Shouyi and asked, "Shouyi, is that correct?"


    Chen Shouyi smiled and said, "Of course, hehe, Mi Xiaojing, the sect values you greatly. You must cherish it!"


    Mi Xiaojing secretly thought to himself, "Cherish my ass!" He had no good feelings towards the Heart Sect at all. Even though these elders were trying their best to win him over and appeared friendly, he knew very well that they had their own needs. If he couldn''t refine pills, they would probably find him troublesome even if he just nced at them.


    This world was very realistic and cruel. Mi Xiaojing gradually understood this. Since he came to the Heart Sect, he had been working hard to learn not only cultivation and alchemy, but also to understand this world. When he was in the Western Expansion Sect, it was too closed off, and the world of evolutionary cultivation was rtively peaceful. There were many things that he couldn''t learn in the Western Expansion Sect.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, I willplete the sect mission." His words were sincere and not exaggerated.


    Mu Hengyuan was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "These are the materials for refining pills. Just keep them."


    Mi Xiaojing put the materials into his storage bracelet and returned the storage bag to Mu Hengyuan. Although the storage bag was not valuable, it was still considered a scarce item in the sect.


    Mu Hengyuan took the storage bag and left. Before leaving, he specifically pulled Chen Shouyi aside and gave him a few instructions.


    Mi Xiaojing entered the cave and went directly to thergest pill room. This room used to be exclusively used by Chen Shouyi, but now it was assigned to Mi Xiaojing. Even if Chen Shouyi was dissatisfied, he didn''t dare to oppose it. This was personally ordered by Elder Yu Hong, and he even set up a prohibition array that even Chen Shouyi couldn''t enter.


    After looking at the materials in his storage bracelet, Mi Xiaojing realized that the sect had provided him with extremely abundant materials this time. Many of them were surplus. After a little thought, he understood that this waspensation for him. In the entire sect, those who had a special skill had to ept missions without any rewards. The current mission had no rewards.


    Mi Xiaojing nodded to himself. The sect''s higher-ups knew how to handle things, especially towards those who could provide them with benefits. They were extremely generous. He epted the surplus materials without any guilt. These were his rewards.


    What the sect''s elders wanted the most was the Nurturing Infant Pill. This thing could be used for cultivation and healing. It was the most scarce spirit pill for the four elders in the Elemental Infant stage. No matter how many Mi Xiaojing refined, they would always be a bit short.


    The main issue was not that Mi Xiaojing couldn''t refine them, but the materials needed to refine the Nurturing Infant Pill were extremely difficult to gather. They had finally managed to gather enough materials to refine twelve Nurturing Infant Pills. Naturally, they hoped to obtain twelve pills.


    Of course, this was impossible. The elders understood this in their hearts. Their bottom line was that each person would receive one Nurturing Infant Pill. In other words, if Mi Xiaojing could refine four Nurturing Infant Pills, the mission would be consideredplete.


    Mu Hengyuan was cunning and sly. He didn''t mention how many pills Mi Xiaojing had to refine. No matter how many he refined, they would be taken away by them. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t keep any for himself.


    The alchemy process this time was not long. Mi Xiaojing only refined half of the materials, six batches of pills.


    With the growth of his cultivation level, thebination of practical experience and inherited experience, Mi Xiaojing''s sess rate in alchemy became higher and higher. Especially for the pills he had refined before, when he refined them again, the sess rate was quite high. Out of the six batches of pills, he seeded five times. However, there were still no top-grade pills, but there were three middle-grade pills and six low-grade Nurturing Infant Pills.


    A total of nine Nurturing Infant Pills were stored in nine jade bottles. These jade bottles were also provided by the sect. They were engraved with sealing prohibitions, so as long as a specific hand technique was used, the jade bottles could be sealed. The medicinal efficacy would not be lost even if they were ced for hundreds of years, although they couldn''tst forever.


    There was someone guarding the entrance. Mi Xiaojing handed the jade bottles to him when he came out. This person was left behind by Mu Hengyuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As soon as he received the pills, he would immediately deliver them to Mu Hengyuan.


    .


    When the person saw Mi Xiaojing take out nine jade bottles, he also showed a shocked expression. He knew that these were Elemental Infant stage spirit pills. It was truly unbelievable that a mere Foundation Establishment disciple could refine pills for the Elemental Infant stage.


    "My surname is Yang, Yang Shan. You did a good jobpleting this mission. By the way, you don''t have to call me senior, just call me Martial Uncle."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Alright, Martial Uncle. Here are the pills. Can I consider the sect missionpleted?"


    Yang Shan smiled and said, "You did a good job. Nine spirit pills. I believe the elders will reward you."


    Only then did Mi Xiaojing cup his hands and bow. He was anxious to go home. He had been away for a while refining pills, and he was very worried about his family, especially Hong Qing. He was afraid that Hong Qing would go to the Gathering Spring Branch.


    Yang Shan nodded and said, "Alright, you can go!" He watched as Mi Xiaojing left and then flew away on his sword, quickly turning into a streak of sword light and disappearing into the sky.Mi Xiaojing habitually flew close to the treetops, heading towards his own courtyard at the foot of the main peak.


    Only a few minutes after he took off, as he crossed a forest, a Sword Light suddenly flew out from the trees, aiming directly at Mi Xiaojing.


    Almost subconsciously, Mi Xiaojing counterattacked. The Thunder Sword that was circling around him shot out. This was the first time it had been used in battle since it was sessfully refined and nurtured in his Dan Tian.


    True Word Thunder Sword!


    Amidst the thunder, the True Word met the iing flying sword, creating an intimidating scene.


    With a thunderous roar, a figure darted out from the forest.


    Hong Qing red at Mi Xiaojing with gritted teeth. Without saying much, he activated his Magical Techniques and Incantations simultaneously. He wanted to crush Mi Xiaojing with his superior Cultivation Level before he had a chance to deploy the Qingmu Formation.


    What Hong Qing didn''t know was that Mi Xiaojing didn''t have the Qingmu Formation on him. He had left it in the Gathering Spring Vi. All Mi Xiaojing had was a newly refined True Word Thunder Sword and arge number of low-level talismans, which were of little use against Hong Qing.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing also clearly saw Hong Qing. He never thought that Hong Qing would be so impatient.

 Chapter 142: Yellow sparrow

    <h4>Chapter 142: Yellow sparrow</h4>


    The evil spirit is still lingering!


    Hong Qing directly hid on the route Mi Xiaojing took home, waiting for an opportunity to ambush him, showing how much he hated Mi Xiaojing.


    After several battles, Mi Xiaojing was no longer a rookie inbat. With thebat experience inherited from Wang Weijun, he graduallyprehended and verified it, so hisbat power improved by leaps and bounds.


    The power of the Thunder Sword pleasantly surprised Mi Xiaojing. It was really powerful. He was not at a disadvantage when fighting against Hong Qing, especially during the attack. The True Words could suppress the opponent''s power, allowing the Thunder Sword to fully disy its power.


    Hong Qing secretlymented. He originally thought that if Mi Xiaojing didn''t have the Green Wood Formation, he couldpletely suppress Mi Xiaojing within a few moves and then capture him. Unexpectedly, the opponent''s flying sword was so sharp. It not only had thunder and lightning, but also some strange golden dots. He didn''t know that these were True Words characters.


    The sword fight was intense, and what was most annoying was that Mi Xiaojing was still shouting.


    It''s no wonder Mi Xiaojing was shouting. It was the first time he had a flying sword that he could handle so well. He was really happy, and couldn''t help but shout, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"


    "Haha! Watch my sword kill!"


    Although Hong Qing could withstand it, he felt uneasy. He knew that the elders of the sect attached great importance to Mi Xiaojing. If they knew that he was trying to kill Mi Xiaojing, there would probably be no elder who would spare him.


    Don''t be fooled by Mi Xiaojing''s shouting. In fact, he was a little panicked. He appeared to be excited on the surface, but in reality, he already had the idea of escaping if he couldn''t win. Thetest and fastest updates, provided for free.


    Mi Xiaojing had a lot of talismans in his hand. While using the flying sword to defend, he randomly threw talismans. The defensive ones were pped on himself, and the offensive ones were thrown out directly, creating a lively scene.


    Once a fireball talisman was thrown out, it would cause an explosion. Although it wasn''t very loud, if a dozen fireball talismans were thrown out in session, the noise would be quite loud.


    Hong Qing regretted again. He felt like he was being burned.


    "Kid! If you have the ability, fight properly! Stop shouting like a ghost!"


    "Spit! Kill! Kill! Kill!"


    Suddenly, Hong Qing felt something was wrong. Every word Mi Xiaojing said seemed to be a huge hammer smashing into his soul.


    This was a True Words attack!


    Mi Xiaojing realized that as long as he used True Words to attack, the opponent''s offensive momentum would slow down, and he could barely support himself.


    The Thunder Sword itself was stronger than Hong Qing''s magical sword, and not just a little stronger. In addition to the True Words attack and the continuous throwing of talismans, Hong Qing couldn''t control the situation. He was about to go crazy. The most worrying thing was that the noise was too loud. This ce was not very remote. If someone passed by, it would be a big trouble.


    While fighting, Mi Xiaojing was actually retreating. He didn''t want to continue entangling with Hong Qing. He thought about escaping back to the Gathering Spring Hall. Only by activating the Green Wood Formation could he truly kill this guy.


    Hong Qing also had the intention to retreat. He really didn''t want to be discovered: "Go to hell!" He raised his hand and threw out an ice symbol. The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and countless ice particles instantly formed, making Mi Xiaojing feel stiff all over. In a panic, he quickly cast an incantation. In an instant, countless small arcs burst out from the Thunder Sword, apanied by the skyrocketing True Words, sweeping away the cold air.


    Then Mi Xiaojing realized that Hong Qing had actually escaped. He was also stunned. How did this guy escape?


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to chase after him either. He knew that his strength was not enough. It was already difficult enough to scare this guy away. He turned around and flew towards the Gathering Spring Hall.


    Hong Qing ran away, even though the battle onlysted a few minutes, it felt unbearable to him.


    After flying a short distance, Hong Qingnded. He looked a bit frustrated as he watched Mi Xiaojing disappear. This time, he didn''t seed again. Mi Xiaojing''s strength had improved a lot, especially his magical sword, which was simply unbelievable.


    He had investigated Mi Xiaojing and knew that the little guy was really poor when he first arrived and was just a small evolutionary immortal. In such a short time, he had be so powerful. It was really hard for him to understand.


    Hong Qing was still d that he made a quick decision. Seeing that the ambush failed, he decisively retreated. If they had fought for a few more minutes, it would probably have alerted others. With the eyes of the elders of the sect, they would definitely understand what was going on, and it would be difficult for him to exin.


    He really hated it. Hong Qing realized that he couldn''t do anything to Mi Xiaojing. He also felt frustrated. As a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, he couldn''t handle a little guy at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. It was really annoying.


    He wandered on the road step by step, his mind in a mess. At this moment, he took a step and stepped on a piece of withered vine.


    Hong Qing didn''t pay attention and continued walking forward.


    A sudden change urred. The withered vine seemed toe alive and climbed up Hong Qing''s foot.


    Hong Qing was shocked and quickly swung his magical sword down. His reaction was already fast, but the withered vine''s reaction was even faster. In an instant, the vine climbed all over his body, and the inconspicuous withered vine suddenly emitted a green light.


    It directly entangled Hong Qing tightly, and he realized that his body waspletely imprisoned by the vines. His heart sank.


    "You!"


    Chen Shouyi slowly descended from a big tree and said, "I saw through your ambush on Mi Xiaojing. You go exin this to the elders!"


    A spell was cast, and the vine immediately tightened around Hong Qing''s neck. The magical sword fell to the ground, and Chen Shouyi approached and took it without hesitation. Then he casually took off Hong Qing''s storage bag, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a very soft voice, "You used to call me senior brother, then senior uncle. I know you have always been dissatisfied with me, and I also noticed that there are too many pill masters in the Grass-Benevolence Hall!"


    "You!"Chen Shouyi added another magical technique, simultaneously taking out a long, thin needle, and continued to whisper in Hong Qing''s ear: "You know, I''ve been tolerating you for a long time, hehe. If you were to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I would be in trouble. But now, hehe, hehehe!"


    When Hong Qing saw the needle in Chen Shouyi''s hand, he couldn''t help but be greatly rmed. He struggled desperately, but the withered vine was a magical treasure of the Foundation Establishment stage, perfect for binding people. With his cultivation level, he was simply powerless to break free.


    "Master Uncle, it''s my fault, please spare me this time," Hong Qing pleaded, staring in terror at the needle.


    The Soul Locking Needle!


    Once the needle entered the body, one''s cultivation level would bepletely locked. At that time, he would be nothing more than an ordinary mortal.


    "Do you think I will spare you? Hehe!"


    "You, you bastard! You won''t die a good death, you..."

 Chapter 143: Trickery

    <h4>Chapter 143: Trickery</h4>


    Hong Qing suddenly understood, if Chen Shouyi fell into his hands, would he spare him? That was impossible! Afterpletely despairing, he couldn''t help but curse out loud.


    Chen Shouyi smiled faintly and without hesitation, he pressed the Soul-Locking Needle into Hong Qing''s body.


    In an instant, the needle moved like a living creature, directly swimming inside Hong Qing''s body and entering his Dan Tian. In no time at all, Hong Qing''s vitality and spirit werepletely drained, and he instantly aged.


    Chen Shouyi waved his hand and took out arge piece of ck cloth, calmly saying, "I won''t kill you for now, so be sensible and don''t move or make a sound, otherwise, you''ll suffer."


    He wrapped Hong Qing in the ck cloth and lifted him up, flying into the air.


    Mi Xiaojing returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard and didn''t want to talk about the encounter just now. He just sat at the stone table in the front courtyard and couldn''t help but activate the Green Wood Formation. He was contemting that if he had the Green Wood Formation earlier, he might havepletely dealt with Hong Qing.


    Activating the Green Wood Formation only put it in an invisible state. Although this state also consumed a few spirit stones, the quantity was not much. Mi Xiaojing sought psychologicalfort, as if by activating the Green Wood Formation, he would bepletely safe.


    "Old man, do I have to kill Hong Qing to solve the problem?"


    "Nonsense, if you don''t kill him, he wille to kill you. Do you think you can endure that?"


    "Well, if it happens again, I will definitely kill him!"


    "You have to take the initiative. Being passively beaten is not eptable. With your cultivation level, as long as you use the Green Wood Formation, you can easily kill him as long as you find the right ce and set up an ambush. Even if hees from the sky, he will still be enveloped by the Green Wood Formation!"


    Wang Weijun was diligently teaching Mi Xiaojing how to kill. ording to his thinking, Mi Xiaojing could only affect his character and temperament by killing more cultivators. Now this child had been taught stupid by Evolutionary Immortality! Fortunately, under his guidance, the child was finally not so naive. It was also fortunate that Mi Xiaojing was still a child. If he were an adult, it would be difficult to teach him.


    Fortunately, Wang Weijun knew that he couldn''t escape from his current predicament for the time being. Just a ten thousand-word Mantra Banner was tormenting him to the point of copse. He didn''t know when he would have the opportunity to escape from the entanglement of the Mantra Banner, let alone when he could take over Mi Xiaojing''s body. The only thing he could do was gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust and let Mi Xiaojing survive.


    Before obtaining Mi Xiaojing''s body, if Mi Xiaojing died, then Wang Weijun would bepletely finished. So helping Mi Xiaojing was helping himself. He had already figured this out. He had to teach Mi Xiaojing the necessary survival and cultivation skills. Many times, only when Mi Xiaojing was strong could he effectively protect himself.


    Wang Weijun tirelessly instilled various concepts into Mi Xiaojing, all the various conspiracies and tricks of the cultivation world, so that he would have a concept in his mind that the cultivation world was definitely not a beautiful world. To survive, one had to kill, struggle, and be more cunning.


    Mi Xiaojing listened in a daze. At this moment, a person walked in from the courtyard gate, holding arge ck package in his hand. He came in and called out, "Is Mi Xiaojing here?"


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that this person was actually Chen Shouyi.


    He stood up and went forward to greet him. Chen Shouyi was an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall and had a high status. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t not wee him when he came.


    "Senior Uncle, do you have something to tell me?"


    Chen Shouyi walked over and threw the package in his hand in front of Mi Xiaojing, saying, "This is for you! You can open it and take a look."


    Mi Xiaojing carefully examined it. It was a ck package tightly wrapped with a withered vine. The strangest thing was that the package was actually moving.


    It was actually a living thing!


    "What is it? Why is it moving?"


    Mi Xiaojing stood still, thanks to the indoctrination of Wang Weijun''s conspiracy theories just now. After careful examination, he found that there was something wrong with the withered vine, especially when it was wriggling, there was a fluctuation of spiritual power.


    Chen Shouyi said gently, "You''ll know when you open it."


    Wang Weijun sneered, "This person has ill intentions. The withered vine on the package is a magical tool. Don''t touch that thing. Once you touch it, it will entangle you!"


    Upon hearing Wang Weijun''s reminder, Mi Xiaojing immediately took a step back and said, "Senior Uncle, what do you mean? Is the withered vine a magical tool?"


    Chen Shouyi finally realized that Mi Xiaojing was difficult to deal with. He had already understood from watching Mi Xiaojing''s fight with Hong Qing that this child was very clever. Not only was his cultivation level good, but his weapon was also good. He also noticed that Mi Xiaojing still retained the battle techniques of Evolutionary Immortality and could actually use Mantra attacks.


    When dealing with Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi was already very cautious. His goal was the same as Hong Qing''s, which was to capture the little guy and obtain Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy techniques. He didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy techniques were inherited. Even if Mi Xiaojing told the truth, he wouldn''t believe it.


    Catch him first and then talk!Chen Shouyi never expected that Mi Xiaojing would be so vignt, refusing to approach the bundle. When his first n failed, he tried another, saying, "Good, good, your vignce ismendable. But you don''t need to be so wary of me, haha, look." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and the vines binding the bundle suddenly loosened.


    The bundle rolled a few times, revealing the person inside.


    Mi Xiaojing eximed, "It''s Hong Qing! You..."


    Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing, Hong Qing suddenly shouted, "Watch out, he''s after you!" It wasn''t that Hong Qing was particrly kind-hearted, but rather that he wanted to stir up trouble. Regardless of whether Chen Shouyi''s intentions towards Mi Xiaojing were good or bad, he would first throw a bucket of shit.


    Chen Shouyi was furious. He swung the vine in his hand andshed out, "Bastard, you dare to kill your own junior brother and nder me!"


    The vine was a magical weapon, and a powerfulsh with it was far more potent than a whip. Hong Qing, bound by the Soul Locking Needle, was no different from an ordinary person. The vineshed him, leaving his skin torn and bloody.


    "Chen Shouyi, if you have the guts, kill me! Kill me! Ah, ah! Bastard, old dog! You won''t die a good death! I curse you! Ahhh!"


    Zhang Ke poked his head out of the room and shouted, "What''s going on?"


    Mi Xiaojing turned his head and shouted, "Stay with the others, don''te out!" His tone was extremely stern.


    Taking advantage of Mi Xiaojing''s distraction, Chen Shouyi suddenly raised his hand and threw the vine at him. This was Chen Shouyi''s backup n, to catch him off guard and entangle him with the vine.


    Hong Qing let out a strange cry, "Kid, dodge!" His voice had changed. He wasn''t concerned about Mi Xiaojing, but he knew that if Mi Xiaojing was caught, he would be done for too. If Mi Xiaojing could resist, there might still be a chance to survive. The more he had feared alerting others before, the more he now hoped others would hear themotion.


    I''ve really tried my best, but updating more frequently is indeed a bit difficult for me. Let''s get back to normal, I''ll try to burst out asionally, ensuring continuous updates.


    The update time will be restored to 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. If possible, I''ll try my best to burst out.


    The new book is on the shelf, I hope everyone can vote more. Thank you all.

 Chapter 144: The Death of Hong Qing

    <h4>Chapter 144: The Death of Hong Qing</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was on guard, but his attention was still diverted by Zhang Ke. Combined with Chen Shouyi''s cunning and decisive actions, Mi Xiaojing was finally hit.


    The withered vine touched Mi Xiaojing''s ankle and swiftly entangled him. The speed was so fast that he couldn''t react in time.


    It was like a snake climbing up a branch, coiling around and binding him tightly in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Shouyi suddenly burst intoughter. He was very relieved. As long as he controlled Mi Xiaojing, the others would not be a problem.


    Hong Qing cursed, "You thief, bastard! Mi Xiaojing, you idiot!" But in his heart, he thought, "I''m screwed!" Thest chance disappeared, causing Hong Qing topletely lose hisposure.


    Chen Shouyi, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. He was much more cunning than Hong Qing. Without certainty, he would never make a move. Just like when he entered Mi Xiaojing''s courtyard, he had already set up a crude istion restriction. Although it was simple, it effectively blocked the transmission of various information and the sound of battle. People outside would never notice any movement in the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    "Haha, haha! Kid, I''ve known your weakness for a long time. Haha, now I''ve caught you."


    Mi Xiaojing pretended to be confused, "Senior, what are you doing?"


    Chen Shouyi pped lightly, "Good, good. At a time like this, you can still remain so calm and pretend in front of me. Haha, not bad, kid. I didn''t expect you to climb up to my level. Do you know why there are so few Pill Masters in the Sword Heart Sect?"


    Hong Qing, in despair, rolled his eyes. There used to be talented Pill Masters, but they were killed one by one by the two of them. This time, Mi Xiaojing emerged too quickly and caught the attention of the sect''s Elder. For a while, both of them felt at a loss, until Hong Qing couldn''t bear it any longer and made a move.


    In the end, Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but make a move as well. His goal was clear, to create the illusion of Hong Qing oppressing Mi Xiaojing and Mi Xiaojing resisting, leading to both of them dying together. It was a good reason, a reasonable exnation.


    Most importantly, even if the Elder of the sect suspected something, two Pill Masters had already died. Did they need another one to die?


    As long as Mi Xiaojing and Hong Qing died, Chen Shouyi could be certain that the Elder would never kill him. He was thest Pill Master of the sect.


    Zhang Ke knew he had caused trouble, but fortunately, it was Zhang Ke. If it were someone else, it would have been really troublesome. For example, Luo Bo would have definitely rushed out and disturbed Mi Xiaojing.


    Zhang Ke ran towards the backyard without hesitation. He was constantly worried about what would happen to Mi Xiaojing.


    On the way, he encountered Mu Xiaoyining out. Zhang Ke immediately grabbed her and said, "Quickly, let''s go!"


    Mi Xiaojing was bound while still standing. He didn''t fall to the ground. Wang Weijun sneered, "Now you see, this is the Cultivation World, this is what cultivators are like!"


    Wang Weijun wasn''t worried at all because he knew that Mi Xiaojing had inexplicably activated the Green Wood Formation earlier. The formation was already activated, but in a hidden state. To make it work, Mi Xiaojing only needed to use an incantation. So he didn''t care at all. It was a good educational material.


    Mi Xiaojing was also calm. He remembered that he had already set up the Green Wood Formation, so he felt at ease. Although the withered vine magical tool could bind his body and limbs, it couldn''t bind his mouth. Incantations were spoken with the mouth, not activated with the hands. Even if he didn''t move, the Green Wood Formation could still operate.


    "Why? Why are you doing this?"


    Although Mi Xiaojing knew the answer, he couldn''t help but ask.


    Hong Qing couldn''t help but curse, "Idiot, fool, brainless idiot!"


    Chen Shouyi nodded, "You''re right, he is an idiot, fool, brainless idiot. In fact, you are the same, idiot, fool, brainless idiot! Hahaha!" He couldn''t help but burst into triumphantughter. He was extremely excited. He didn''t expect things to go so smoothly.


    When people be arrogant, they lose control. Chen Shouyi was no exception. He had a smile on his face and said, "Kid, where did you learn the ancient method of alchemy? If you tell me, I''ll spare your life, how about that?"


    Hong Qing shouted, "If you don''t say it, maybe you can still survive. Once you say it, you''re really dead!"


    Chen Shouyi became furious, "I''ve tolerated you for a long time. Do you really want to die? I''ll grant your wish!"


    The magical sword flew out and instantly pierced through Hong Qing''s head, killing him instantly. Chen Shouyi beckoned, and the flying sword immediately returned. He walked to Hong Qing''s corpse, reached out his hand, and a shadow floated out of Hong Qing''s body.


    Mi Xiaojing was shocked to find that the shadow was exactly the same as Hong Qing. What kind of technique was this?


    "This is the Soul Condensing Technique, the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If left alone, it will soon be a ghost. This is truly eradicating the roots, not even sparing the soul!"The soul was struggling fiercely, Chen Shouyi said coldly: "Still unwilling? Then forget it." His hands gently rubbed together, and countless sparks flew out instantly. Hong Qing''s soul quickly dissipated under the sparks, and in a moment, nothing could be seen.


    "How ruthless, vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind."


    Wang Weijun said gloomily.


    Mi Xiaojing''s whole body was covered in goosebumps, Chen Shouyi''s ferocity was beyond his expectation.


    Chen Shouyi said casually: "If you don''t want this to happen, then answer my question."


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly understood, this world is not merciful just because you are, if the opponent is ruthless, then you have to be even more ruthless. Heughed: "Hehe, I neither want to answer your question, nor do I want to end up like Hong Qing, what can you do to me?"


    Chen Shouyi looked around cautiously, then suddenly burst intoughter: "Scaring me, I''m so scared, hahaha!" He found himself very humorous, it was rare to see someone so foolish, who was caught yet still so bold. Didn''t he know that cultivators have countless ways to deal with enemies, ways that could make life worse than death?


    Rubbing his hands vigorously, Chen Shouyi said: "I remember there are a few remnants of the Western Evolutionary Sect, they were your junior disciples, right? Hehe, I believe, you are strong enough, but they may not be!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but shake his head, feeling a faint fear in his heart. If he hadn''t returned home and activated the Qingmu Formation out of guilt, he would really be helpless now.


    But since he had already activated the Qingmu Formation, things werepletely different.


    Incantation activated!

 Chapter 145: Counterattack

    <h4>Chapter 145: Counterattack</h4>


    The incantation is activated!


    Mi Xiaojing sneered, "Even in my house, you are still so arrogant. Even if you are an elder... even if you are a Foundation Establishment stage Ancestor, you can''t escape!"


    Chen Shouyi''sughter abruptly stopped. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, but his reaction was not slow. He pounced towards Mi Xiaojing, thinking that with such a short distance, he could catch Mi Xiaojing in his hand without needing a second.


    However, this pounce took a full seven to eight seconds. Chen Shouyi reached out to grab, but only caught empty air. In an instant, the surrounding environmentpletely changed.


    Green trees appeared out of thin air, surrounded by green smoke. The surroundings were no longer the Gathering Spring Hall, but a scene of solemn killing. It was arge formation, a formation that even made Chen Shouyi feel terrified.


    With Chen Shouyi''s experience, he quickly realized that this formation was not simple. From the green trees hanging in mid-air, he could tell that it was a wood-based formation.


    As an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he had a deep understanding of wood-based treasures. The green trees hanging in front of him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. Not only that, but Mi Xiaojing had disappeared. Even if they had a connection through the withered vine, he couldn''t sense him at all in this moment.


    Mi Xiaojing also encountered trouble. The withered vine was a magical tool, and he was having a hard time breaking free from its restraints. So even though the formation had been activated, it couldn''t operate effectively. He had to break free from this thing and regain control of his hands in order to effectively utilize the Wood Formation.


    Mi Xiaojing struggled frantically, but the withered vine only tightened around him more. Moreover, after losing contact with Chen Shouyi, the withered vine automatically slid up to his neck, like a noose tightening, trying to strangle him alive.


    Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing was not an ordinary person. It was extremely difficult to strangle a cultivator to death. But even so, Mi Xiaojing was being strangled by the withered vine to the point where his eyes were rolling back.


    Releasing the Thunder Sword, Mi Xiaojing aimed at the withered vine and began to cut. He didn''t know what the withered vine was refined with, but when the Thunder Sword cut into it, it only left a faint white mark and couldn''t cut through.


    In an instant, the withered vine magical tool erupted with tremendous power, as if it wanted to crush Mi Xiaojing. The withered vine even prated into Mi Xiaojing''s flesh, giving him a feeling of being squeezed to the point where he had difficulty breathing and his eyes were about to burst.


    The Ancestor''s magical tool was indeed vicious. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t break free no matter what. He felt extremely anxious, unable to stand any longer and fell straight down.


    Suddenly, the puppet on Mi Xiaojing''s heart tower also fell, and then the puppet''s arm stretched out, causing ayer of true character script to emerge on Mi Xiaojing''s arm, also stretching outwards.


    A cracking sound was heard.


    Boom!


    The withered vine magical tool was forcibly broken. Without Chen Shouyi''smand, the magical tool couldn''t operate flexibly, which created a w. If Chen Shouyi were present, it would be difficult to escape from this situation.


    The Wood Formation isted Chen Shouyi''s perception. Combined with the sudden force exerted by the puppet inside Mi Xiaojing, the two sessfullybined, which was something Mi Xiaojing hadn''t expected.


    Casually putting away the broken withered vine magical tool, its true power was not that great, but it was a useful tool for ambushing others. Mi Xiaojing nned to put it away and study it when he had time.


    After breaking free from the restraints, Mi Xiaojing finally gained control of the Wood Formation. Previously, he had only activated the formation, but due to the inability tomand, the attack was quite weak.


    Fortunately, the Wood Formation was refined by a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage, and its power naturally suppressed Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, making Chen Shouyi extremely ufortable inside.


    Originally, Chen Shouyi could still hold on, but when Mi Xiaojing began to control the Wood Formation, the strength of the attackpletely changed.


    The green trees started to move, and Chen Shouyi''s expression changed drastically. He naturally understood that if Mi Xiaojing couldn''t break free from his magical tool, he wouldn''t be able tomand the formation to attack. But once the green trees started moving, it meant that the formation was gathering power, ready to strike.


    If there was a chance for Chen Shouyi to escape at the beginning, now it was almost impossible. Formations with someonemanding and formations without someonemanding werepletely different concepts.


    Countless green trees danced in the sky, blocking Chen Shouyi no matter which direction he flew towards.


    Chen Shouyi''s sword was also of the wood attribute. His sword was made from a piece of Purple Tung wood, considered a top-grade magical sword. Because it could be stored inside his body and nourished by the Golden Elixir, the power of this sword was quite formidable. The only regret was that he had obtained this sword only ten years ago, and it was still far from enough time to nurture it. If there was enough time, this magical sword had the potential to grow into a low-grade spiritual sword.


    Purple Tung wood was also a rare refining material that, in the hands of a cultivator proficient in the wood attribute, could y a significant role.


    Chen Shouyi rarely used a sword, but at this moment, he couldn''t care less. Seeing the green trees pressing in, his magical sword shot out in an instant.


    As soon as he made a move, countless sword shadows filled the sky, instantly shattering the green tree in front of him. Chen Shouyi shouted, "Shatter!" as if releasing a tornado. This imposing manner was extraordinary, and the surrounding green trees quickly shattered.The shredded green wood suddenly turned into green smoke, disappearing in an instant, and then recondensed into green wood in the distance.


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly feel Chen Shouyi''s attack, and he couldn''t help but admire it in his heart. As expected of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this attack was indeed extremely sharp. However, it was useless. Under the cover of therge array, no matter how powerful the attack, it would be dissolved by the green wood. As long as Chen Shouyi couldn''t harm the essence of the green wood, this array would continue to function.


    Mi Xiaojing cast a magical technique, mobilizing the green wood array to attack. He knew that Chen Shouyi''s strength was very strong. Compared to himself, if there was no green wood array, he wouldn''t be able to defeat this guy. The difference in strength was clear. Even if he fought desperately, the chances of both sides suffering were not great.


    This was a guy even more dangerous than Hong Qing. Since he had already trapped him in the green wood array, he couldn''t let him escape no matter what.


    Even if the green wood array was destroyed, he had to kill this guy. He was too dangerous.


    Mi Xiaojing finally understood that in the Cultivation World, one really couldn''t let go of an enemy. This was something Wang Weijun had taught him well. He used all kinds of methods and possibilities to scare Mi Xiaojing.


    This was almost like brainwashing, leaving a strong suggestion in Mi Xiaojing''s mind. He believed that the Cultivation World was a survival environment where it was either you die or I live. A slight carelessness could lead toplete ruin. At this moment, there was a ready example. Hong Qing died silently, and even his soul waspletely eliminated. This oue was too frightening.


    No matter what Chen Shouyi was like, Mi Xiaojing now only had one thought: kill him!


    Only by killing Chen Shouyi could he and his family survive. This was no longer a matter of personal life and death. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 146: Qianji Disk

    <h4>Chapter 146: Qianji Disk</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing constantly changed his techniques, trapping Chen Shouyi tightly. His first priority was to trap him, and then consider using the Qingmu Array to kill him.


    He invested arge amount of spirit stones into the Qingmu Array, without any intention of saving them. He was determined to eliminate Chen Shouyi, which was his current biggest goal.


    Mi Xiaojing himself didn''t realize it, but at this moment, his killing intent was soaring,pletely suppressing thepassion he had cultivated since childhood.


    The formation of an idea is difficult, especially for Mi Xiaojing. The formation of killing intent is even more difficult. However, with Wang Weijun''s continuous guidance and the real threats given by the cultivation world, especially the massacre of the Western Expansion Sect and the killing of the elders and masters of the sect, as well as Hong Qing just now, they were all living examples.


    Mi Xiaojing was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very clever and made rapid progress in his studies. When faced with a real threat, he would naturally resist. Instinctively brainwashed, Mi Xiaojing began to take ruthless actions.


    Mi Xiaojing said in his heart, "Since you want to kill me, don''t me me." Once he made up his mind, he would not waver. Wang Weijun was very satisfied with this. As long as this child understood one thing, he would definitely go all out, just like alchemy, just like cultivation.


    The Qingmu Array in Mi Xiaojing''s hands had never been used to its fullest potential, not because he couldn''t control it, but because he was reluctant to fully activate the Qingmu Array, as it would consume a huge amount of spirit stones.


    When he was in the Western Expansion Sect, Mi Xiaojing was always penniless. It wasn''t until he came to the Sword Heart Sect that he had a little wealth. However, for someone who was used to being poor, it was difficult for him to indulge in extravagance and waste.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing had no choice. Chen Shouyi was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength was too formidable for Mi Xiaojing. The ordinary use of the Qingmu Array was simply unable to kill his opponent.


    What Mi Xiaojing wanted was not to trap Chen Shouyi, but to kill him. This required someplex changes, which all required arge amount of spirit stones to drive.


    While Mi Xiaojing switched techniques and began to activate the Qingmu Array tounch an attack, Chen Shouyi was still trying to break free. He knew very well that breaking the formation was impossible, but there was still hope to break out.


    Chen Shouyi tried various methods to break through, but unfortunately, hisbat experience was insufficient. Although he was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, most of his time was spent refining pills in the sect, and he rarely went out or experienced battles.


    For a cultivator like him, who encountered someone one realm weaker than himself, it was almost impossible topletely overpower and win against someone of the same level.


    A Qingmu Array, especially arge array refined by a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage or above, was clearly beyond Chen Shouyi''s means. Hecked means and breakthrough ideas. He was only desperately attacking in one direction, trying to break free.


    Suddenly, the entire array stagnated. Chen Shouyi, who had been constantly tearing apart the Qingmu Array, became extremely uneasy. He still had some decisiveness. The magical sword instantly flew back and began to defend. The sword surrounded him, forming a hovering sword dragon that moved up and down. Its speed was so fast that any attack would be blocked in advance.


    The Qingmu Array suddenly turned into countless sword shadows, shooting towards Chen Shouyi.


    Swords flew in the sky and on the ground, dragging behind them trails of afterimages. In an instant, Chen Shouyi couldn''t distinguish the directions anymore. He could only tightly guard his body. He was shocked in his heart. This was not the power that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could possess. It could create immense pressure on him, which proved that the level of this Qingmu Array was extremely high.


    Until now, Chen Shouyi''s heart began to panic.


    For a cultivator like him with littlebat experience, once his life was truly threatened, he wouldpletely panic. Despite his cruel and ruthless nature towards others, when he fell into a dangerous situation, he immediately lost hisposure.


    He had killed many people in his life, but they were all done behind the scenes, calcting and striking when the time was right. Chen Shouyi didn''t expect that this time, it would exceed his calctions.


    As the saying goes, if you walk the night road too often, you will eventually encounter ghosts. The more calcting a person is, the more likely they will be calcted. This time, he fell into a trap, and he jumped into it willingly.


    What was most hateful was that he had also resolved the enemy of the other party, even though that person was also his enemy. Suddenly, Chen Shouyi felt that he was a super idiot, a stupid fool. He hadn''t taken the medicine, but he had seen the pill.


    "Why does he have such a monstrous Qingmu Array!"


    At this level of attack, Chen Shouyi could still hold on, but he knew very well that this was just the beginning. After all, he was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he had this level of insight. He became even more nervous now. The deep sense of crisis, which prated into his bones, was like a knife that had almost pierced his heart. It was about to hit his heart.


    Every cultivator, especially those who reached the Foundation Establishment stage, had some trump cards or life-saving treasures. Just like Hong Qing, he had a rare substitute puppet in his hands.


    Chen Shouyi also had such a treasure, a formation disk. However, this formation disk was not used for battle, but for escape.


    The Qianji Disk!


    In the cultivation world, treasures for escaping were truly priceless. Every cultivator would strive to collect such treasures. If there was even a slight possibility, they would try to obtain such treasures.Of course, not every cultivator is so lucky to find a suitable life-saving treasure. Coincidentally, both individuals Mi Xiaojing encountered happened to have one. Hong Qing had a death-substitute puppet, while Chen Shouyi had a Qianji Disk.


    The so-called Qianji Disk is an extreme application of formations, inspired by teleportation formations. This Qianji Disk is also a one-time-use item, and it''s extremely difficult to activate because it requires the sacrifice of a spiritual ghost.


    While it''s possible to obtain a Qianji Disk, acquiring a spiritual ghost is much more challenging. The formation of a spiritual ghost requires very stringent conditions, and spiritual ghosts usually enter the spiritual ghost realm. Those that remain in this world are even rarer.


    Chen Shouyi is an alchemy master who has exchanged many valuable items for his pills, including this Qianji Disk with a spiritual ghost.


    Strictly speaking, this item wasn''t exchanged for, but rather swindled. A disciple obtained the Qianji Disk from an ancient ruin without knowing what it was. Chen Shouyi discovered it during a trade and exchanged it for a few ordinary spirit pills.


    When Chen Shouyi obtained this Qianji Disk, the spiritual ghost inside was on the verge of dissipating. After years of nurturing and consuming many of his resources, it gradually recovered. This is one of Chen Shouyi''s trump cards.


    Thinking of his trump card, Chen Shouyi''s panic gradually subsided. Although he still felt extremely dangerous, he was able to think calmly. However, thinking of the cost of using the Qianji Disk, his heart sank to the bottom.


    He had been careless! To be continued.

 Chapter 147: Thunder Shock Bead

    <h4>Chapter 147: Thunder Shock Bead</h4>


    Lost!


    Everything was calcted, but the one thing that was not expected was that Mi Xiaojing actually had such a bizarre formation.


    Sword shadows danced and shed against Chen Shouyi''s protective magical sword. This sudden attack left himpletely defenseless, and he could only desperately protect his own body. He didn''t even have time to release talismans as he frantically cast incantations andmanded his magical sword to defend.


    The pressure was overwhelming!


    Mi Xiaojing was also not at ease. He mobilized the Green Wood Formation, which required arge amount of spirit stones. Once the spirit stones were depleted and he hadn''t killed Chen Shouyi, he would also be unable to withstand the counterattack.


    Gritting his teeth, Mi Xiaojing threw out two high-grade spirit stones. These were one of the rewards he received when he cured Elder Yu Hong, and he hadn''t even been willing to use them when refining the Thunder Sword. But this time, he had no choice but to use them.


    The two high-grade spirit stones were immediately absorbed by therge formation, greatly increasing the power of the Green Wood Formation.


    Chen Shouyi was startled. He found that the illusory sword shadows were about to be solid swords, and their strength was rapidly increasing. This forced him to increase his output. The consumption was unbelievable, and the formation seemed to be too powerful.


    The sword rain suddenly stopped, as if it had never appeared before, leaving people in a bewildered state.


    In an instant, huge green woods reappeared around Chen Shouyi. This time, the green woods were different,rger, and greener. The green color was like jade, and the most terrifying thing was that there were strands of green mes within the green woods, gradually spreading across the surface.


    Wood generates fire!


    This was a change in the formation''s attack form. If the sword shadow attack was just the preliminary form, then this wood generating fire technique was a real attribute attack with even greater power.


    Collision!


    Countless green woods collided, and just as Chen Shouyi defended against the impact, the green mes directly spewed out.


    Roaring in chaos, Chen Shouyi was also dazed. For a moment, he only remembered to resist with all his might. The impact was so powerful that his Golden Elixir inside his body was about to burst. After several consecutive defenses, the consumption of true essence was terrifying. He was forced to swallow a spirit pill to quickly replenish it.


    Since advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Shouyi had never experienced such a situation. He held a high position in the sect. When had he ever encountered such a miserable situation of being suppressed and beaten by someone, let alone being beaten by a Foundation Establishment junior? This frustration was driving him crazy.


    Mi Xiaojing''s formation change was too much for Chen Shouyi to handle. Gritting his teeth, he took out a Thunder Shock Bead.


    This thing was also something he had obtained, a powerful Thunder Gang bead condensed through special means. Chen Shouyi had a total of seven Thunder Shock Beads, which he had always treasured and was reluctant to use unless absolutely necessary.


    Due to the increasingly rapid bombardment of the green woods, Chen Shouyi was bing more and more overwhelmed. Finally, he couldn''t bear it any longer and raised his hand to shoot out a Thunder Shock Bead.


    This thing should also be refined by a Golden Elixir stage cultivator. As soon as it was used, a streak of thunder and fire shot out, directly hitting the green woods.


    A deafening explosion sounded, startling Mi Xiaojing. The green woods that were originally colliding with Chen Shouyi instantly turned into green smoke, dissipating with the explosion of the Thunder Shock Bead.


    Due to the restraint of the Green Wood Formation, this explosion did not spread, and its power waspletely absorbed by the formation.


    Chen Shouyi became happy. The Thunder Shock Bead could shake the Green Wood Formation, which relieved him. He then raised his hand and shot out another Thunder Shock Bead.


    Boom!


    Chen Shouyi was pleased to see that this Thunder Shock Bead destroyed more than a dozen green woods and interrupted the transformation of the green woods. This immediately lifted his spirits.


    Mi Xiaojing cast another incantation, and the formation began to change. In an instant, all the green woods exploded and turned into countless green smoke floating around. For a while, the world seemed to enter a chaotic state, with no sky, no ground, and no specific objects visible.


    Chen Shouyi flew around on his flying sword, but he stillckedbat experience and didn''t know how to respond.


    Mi Xiaojing was clearly stronger in this aspect. It wasn''t because he had richbat experience, but because he had obtained Wang Weijun''sbat inheritance, giving him a natural advantage inbat. Especially in judging the situation in battle, Mi Xiaojing was much stronger than Chen Shouyi.


    Actually, the front yard of the Gathering Spring Courtyard was notrge. With the speed of cultivators flying on their swords, it would only take a second, or even less, to fly across the front yard. However, under the cover of the Green Wood Formation, Chen Shouyi, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, couldn''t fly out at all. The speed at which the formation changed was astonishing.


    Chen Shouyi desperately flew, but the surroundings were still chaotic, and he couldn''t find a way out. He thought he should have flown out long ago, but he still couldn''t see any scenery outside.


    Formation restrictions were a very important part of the cultivation world. The difficulty of practicing formations was even moreplex than refining pills, refining tools, and making talismans.


    High-level cultivators, especially those who reached the Elemental Infant stage, would generally conduct in-depth research on formations, seeking all avable knowledge and scriptures to study. They had plenty of time to delve into it.However, for cultivators below the Elemental Infant stage, unless they have a particr fondness for formations, they don''t have much time to spend on them. Of course, every cultivator knows the basic formations. Strictly speaking, whether it''s the patterns on the pills or the various attribute spirit patterns on the talismans, they are all closely rted to formations.


    A person proficient in formations generally won''t perform poorly in refining tools and talismans. However, the reverse is not necessarily true. A cultivator proficient in refining tools or talismans may not necessarily be a master of formations.


    Formations are a unique system. Those proficient in formations, in addition to the application of formations themselves, usually also need to master the so-called Eight Diagrams and the principles of change.


    Chen Shouyi is a person who is rather confused about formations. He hase across many formations, and alchemy itself also requires learning to control certain formations. However, when faced with a powerful formation like the Qingmu Formation, he ispletely helpless.


    Unable to find a breakthrough, even though his strength is stronger than Mi Xiaojing''s, he can only flit around like a headless fly within the formation. Even Wang Weijun couldn''t bear to watch.


    "Is this a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator? The cultivators nowadays are too disappointing. Back in our days, when we advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, we at least had a good understanding of formations. At the very least, we wouldn''t be so mindless when trapped in a formation. Kid, if you can''t even kill him, I will really look down on you!"


    Mi Xiaojing gave a bitter smile. He didn''t have the confidence to kill Chen Shouyi. He always thought that Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were very strong. When the Western Evolutionary Sect was annihted, the Heart Sect only sent out one Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and the entire Western Evolutionary Sect was ughtered without any resistance.


    Of course, there was also a hint of excitement in his heart. A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was actually being beaten by him to such a sorry state. Even if he was relying on the power of the Qingmu Formation, this formation was his own and was part of his strength. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 148: Escape

    <h4>Chapter 148: Escape</h4>


    Not only one''s own cultivation level, but also weapons, formations, talismans, and even luck are all part of one''s strength, which is recognized by every cultivator.


    During their exchange, the formation changed again.


    In an instant, Chen Shouyi felt himself being pulled into a forest.


    It was a strange forest, with towering trees reaching into the sky. Each tree had a thick trunk, and the most peculiar thing was the branches. Each branch was like a sharp sword, densely inserted into the green wooden trunk. There were no leaves on any of the trees, and the silence was maddening. There was almost no sound.


    Chen Shouyi felt a chill in his heart and tried to attack with his magical sword. With just one strike, severalrge trees were shattered. Under the attack of the magical sword, these trees instantly turned into broken wood and then into clusters of green smoke, floating on the ground. The more trees Chen Shouyi shattered, the more green smoke there was. In his field of vision, the originally boundless green wood gradually became blurred.


    Useless!


    Chen Shouyi gradually lost patience. He felt that no matter what, he couldn''t crack this formation. Continuing to entangle would only result in more deaths and fewer lives. This thought couldn''t be suppressed.


    Mi Xiaojing was also at a critical moment. He needed to mobilize the formation and gather his strength for one strike, which took a rtively long time to prepare.


    Chen Shouyi had already realized this and didn''t intend to continue entangling. Even if the Qianji te was precious, it was not as precious as his own life. Once he lost his life, the Qianji te would be someone else''s spoils of war. He could obtain it again in the future, but without his life, he would have nothing.


    Chen Shouyi was very clear about this point, so he didn''t hesitate at all and used the Qianji te.


    The Qianji te was a one-time treasure used for escape. It was much inferior to the level of a substitute death puppet, but it was very effective for escaping, especially in formations. It could instantly escape from the envelopment of arge formation. Of course, not all formations could be escaped from.


    But the Green Wood Formation was not a top-notch formation. The Qianji te could still escape from it. Especially now that the Green Wood Formation was transforming and umting power, preparing to kill the enemy with one strike. During the preparation phase, the attack power of the formation was almost nonexistent, which gave Chen Shouyi an opportunity.


    Just at this moment, Chen Shouyi also figured it out and released the Qianji te.


    The Qianji te was a one-time use item, and it also consumed a spiritual ghost. It was impossible not to feel heartache. Just a single spiritual ghost required Chen Shouyi to spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate.


    The spiritual ghost in the Qianji te had no intelligence and relied solely on instinctive activities. True spiritual ghosts were not like this. True spiritual ghosts had wisdom and were even smarter than some cultivators. If such a spiritual ghost was put into the Qianji te, then the Qianji te would be unusable. No spiritual ghost would be willing to sacrifice itself.


    The appearance of the Qianji te was a palm-sized round disc, dark green in color, withyers of spiritual patterns and prohibitions on it. In fact, the Qianji te was a miniaturized teleportation array. Its core power came from the spiritual ghost. Once activated, all the energy of the spiritual ghost would erupt, and the Qianji te would start, teleporting the person randomly, with a maximum distance of a hundred miles.


    If the formation was strong, then the location of the teleportation might be closer, maybe ten miles or five miles, it was uncertain.


    When Chen Shouyi took out the Qianji te, Mi Xiaojing immediately saw it and eximed, "What is this thing?"


    Wang Weijun also noticed something was wrong. He recognized it at a nce and couldn''t help but be surprised, "Qianji te? Yes, it''s the Qianji te. Kid, your luck is really bad. Every time you encounter something like this, Hong Qing has the substitute death puppet, this guy has the Qianji te. I''m really curious, how do these guys all have such rare treasures?"


    Soon, Wang Weijun realized that spirit pills were valuable no matter where they were. It wasn''t strange for two alchemists to have some good things. In the cultivation world, alchemists were definitely part of the wealthy ss, and their numbers were not many.


    "Kid, don''t use the most powerful killing move. It''s useless. This guy has already activated the Qianji te. It''s a pity for such a one-time treasure... What a pity..."


    "He..."


    Mi Xiaojing felt a panic. If Chen Shouyi escaped, his future would be difficult. The other party was an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. Although he had the support of the Grand Elder now, if a Foundation Establishment Ancestor wanted to make things difficult for him or even kill him, his life would definitely be difficult.


    "Can we stop him from escaping?"


    "It''s toote and impossible. Unfortunately, you''re only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If it were a Foundation Establishment Ancestor using the Green Wood Formation, he wouldn''t have any chance at all. He wouldn''t even have the time to use the Qianji te."


    Unlike Hong Qing, after Chen Shouyi activated the Qianji te, he didn''t say a word. He just looked around with a resentful gaze. This time, he would definitely be seriously injured.


    Wang Weijun sighed, "In the cultivation world, it''s not easy to kill someone with a certain level of cultivation!" Thinking of how he was easily destroyed by two powerful experts, he also had a bitter feeling. Why didn''t he collect more treasures and spiritual weapons for escape? Overconfidence and high strength also had weaknesses!


    Mi Xiaojing stopped his magical technique and incantation. Once he truly activated the killing move of the Green Wood Formation, the consumption of spirit stones would make Mi Xiaojing dizzy. Since he couldn''t stop Chen Shouyi from escaping, he had to save some.


    Chen Shouyi stood on the Qianji te.


    After the Qianji te was activated, a purple halo rose from it,pletely enveloping Chen Shouyi. This was the prelude to teleportation.


    Chen Shouyi nced at the front again. Although he didn''t know where Mi Xiaojing was, his anger was evident. When the purple halo enveloped him, he resentfully used an incantation. In an instant, a mournful scream came from the Qianji te.


    With a loud bang, the purple light burst out, and in an instant, Chen Shouyi disappeared without a trace.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun both saw this scene because the Green Wood Formation couldn''t block Mi Xiaojing''s line of sight.If the people in the sect knew that Mi Xiaojing could actually fight against a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and even forced a Foundation Establishment expert to flee with a single Formation, it would probably cause a huge sensation. However, no one knows about it now.


    Mi Xiaojing cast two consecutive Magical Techniques, and the previously charged Formation once again transformed, gradually calming down.


    It took Xiaojing a bit of time to stop the Formation from operating. After all, the Qingmu Formation was almost pushed to its limit. Once the final killing move appeared, Chen Shouyi would basically have no hope of survival. It was a continuous strangtion, and there was absolutely no chance to activate the Qianji Disk.


    So it can be said that Chen Shouyi was lucky. He reacted in advance, made a decisive decision, sacrificed a treasure, and escaped with his life. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 149: Mu Xiaoyins background

    <h4>Chapter 149: Mu Xiaoyin''s background</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was also helpless. He didn''t dare topletely put away the Green Wood Formation, but only let it remain in a hidden state.


    This also required the consumption of spirit stones, but Mi Xiaojing couldn''t put it away. Once he put it away, it would take a little time to activate it again. And during this time, it would be enough for Chen Shouyi to suffocate him, and there was no chance of activating therge formation again.


    Only in a hidden state, with a hand gesture or an incantation, he couldunch an attack against the enemy, so as to respond to unexpected situations.


    When Chen Shouyi escaped, Mi Xiaojing was trapped in the Gathering Spring Courtyard and couldn''t go anywhere.


    Once he went out, he would likely face Chen Shouyi''s attacks. Mi Xiaojing believed that if Chen Shouyi made another move, he would definitely go all out and not give him any chance to escape.


    These days were really difficult.


    When the Green Wood Formation was in a hidden state, the entire front yard was revealed. Without the cover of therge formation, there were no illusions, and the entire yard remained the same as before. The fierce battle just now didn''t affect a single de of grass in the front yard. The magic of the Green Wood Formation made Mi Xiaojing amazed.


    It was indeed a formation refined by a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage. It was unexpectedly powerful. Mi Xiaojing understood that he hadn''t fully exerted the power of the Green Wood Formation yet, but even so, he was able to defeat Chen Shouyi without any means. In the end, Chen Shouyi could only escape.


    At this time, Zhang Ke ran out with a group of people. The faces of the children were full of excitement, but Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin showed worried expressions.


    Zhang Ke said, "Are you okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said, "I''m fine for now, but it will be difficult in the future..."


    Mu Xiaoyin asked, "Who dares to bully us like this?"


    Mi Xiaojing had long noticed that Mu Xiaoyin''s rtionship with Chen Shouyi was not ordinary. He didn''t want to hide anything and said, "It''s Chen Shouyi... He wants to capture me and force me to reveal the ancient alchemy method."


    "What? Chen old man? How is that possible!"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "He killed Hong Qing..."


    Mu Xiaoyin was dumbfounded. This was a big deal. It must be known that Hong Qing was the sect''s pill master. His death was definitely a great loss for the sect.


    It took a lot of resources for the sect to cultivate a pill master, and it would take many years of growth to have a chance. For the sect, this loss was simply unbearable.


    "How... how dare Chen old man!"


    Zhang Ke said, "I also saw... He killed Hong Qing."


    But Luo Bo was excited and said, "Brother Xiao Mi, you defeated him!"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly and said, "I didn''t defeat him, he escaped."


    Luo Bo happily said, "So he was defeated, otherwise why would he run away? Brother Xiao Mi, you''re amazing." He admired Mi Xiaojing unconditionally.


    The other children were the same. They admired Mi Xiaojing a lot, and when they heard that Mi Xiaojing had defeated an elder, their faces showed expressions of astonishment.


    Wei Fuughed and said, "I knew Brother Xiao Mi was the most powerful..."


    Mi Xiaojing waved his hand and said, "Alright, let''s not talk about it..." The bitterness on his face was visible to everyone.


    Luo Bo said, "Brother Xiao Mi, you defeated him, what are you worried about?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know how to exin. He didn''t defeat Chen Shouyi with his own strength, but with the power of the Green Wood Formation. Without the Green Wood Formation, he was no match for Chen Shouyi at all.


    Insufficient strength, relying solely on formations, was really not enough. Mi Xiaojing understood this, Wang Weijun understood this, but the others didn''t.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "I''ll go talk to the old man and ask him not to bully us..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Sister, don''t go. He''s crazy now. If you go, you will be caught by him and used to threaten me."


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "How dare he!"


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned. He didn''t understand what kind of confidence Mu Xiaoyin had to speak to Chen Shouyi like this. It must be known that Chen Shouyi was a Foundation Establishment stage elder and a senior of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, while Mu Xiaoyin was just an ordinary person. Although she was now in the Ascension stage, she had no real strength.


    But Wang Weijun seemed to have figured something out and said, "This little girl is not simple. She must have some powerful background."


    Mi Xiaojing said in surprise, "What kind of background can suppress a Foundation Establishment stage elder?"


    Wang Weijun said, "Mu Hengyuan!"


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned again and eximed, "The Great Elder Mu Hengyuan?"


    Wang Weijun said, "This can exin why she dares to call Chen Shouyi ''Chen old man''."


    "Then can she go and talk to him? Will it work?"


    "No, not only will it not work, but she will fall into his hands and be used to threaten you. Chen Shouyi has torn his face. Even if he really kills Mu Xiaoyin, the sect will protect him. There are not many pill masters in the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If one dies, there will be one less. I think as the high-level members of the sect, they will consider more."


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly understood. Killing an ordinary person like Mu Xiaoyin wouldn''t cause any loss to the sect. Even if she had someone powerful backing her, in the end, they could only give up.


    To kill a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and a grand alchemist for the sake of an ordinary person, it was really not worth it for the sect. Killing Chen Shouyi would be a great loss for the sect, but the death of Mu Xiaoyin would have no impact on the sect. The high-level members of the sect could easily make a decision.


    Only then did Mi Xiaojing say to Mu Xiaoyin, "Please don''t go. Pretend that nothing happened. He probably won''t activelye after you. Sister, you can help us by gathering information outside."


    Wang Weijun reminded, "It''s fine to let the girl gather information, but be careful to avoid Chen Shouyi. He''s in a crazy state now and will definitely look for your weaknesses. It''s best to keep her away from the Grass-Benevolence Hall."Mi Xiaojing said, "Senior Sister, you must avoid Grass-Benevolence Hall and avoid meeting Chen Shouyi."


    Mu Xiaoyin replied, "Alright, alright, I will avoid him. I hate that old man, why does he have to bully people!" She still didn''t understand that the situation between Mi Xiaojing and Chen Shouyi had escted to a life-and-death struggle.


    In fact, Mu Xiaoyin didn''t have much contact with Chen Shouyi. Most of the time, Chen Shouyi focused on his cultivation and alchemy, rarely sparing time to pay attention to her.


    However, Mu Xiaoyin was deceived by Chen Shouyi''s kindness. Whenever Chen Shouyi saw her, he rarely showed a stern side, usually indulging her and not meddling in her affairs. As a result, Mu Xiaoyin never found Chen Shouyi to be frightening.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "I''m going to find a friend..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Return immediately after gathering information. It''s best to establish a connection with your friend. If anything changes, use the paper owls to pass on the message." As he spoke, he handed Mu Xiaoyin a stack of paper owls. Although these items were not expensive, they were notmonly used by low-level cultivators. After all, they required some spirit stones, and no one would use paper owls to convey information unless it was important.


    Without saying much, Mu Xiaoyin took the paper owls and left. These paper owls had been processed. Once they flew back, they wouldn''tnd in Mu Xiaoyin''s hands, but in Mi Xiaojing''s. Mu Xiaoyin understood this very well. She had no choice, after all, she couldn''t cultivate.


    Watching Mu Xiaoyin leave, Zhang Ke finally asked, "What should we do?" (To be continued.)

 Chapter 150: Research

    <h4>Chapter 150: Research</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing knew that fear was useless, so he appeared confident and said, "No need to panic. Let''s stay in the courtyard and wait for an opportunity. I believe Chen Shouyi will act soon."


    However, Mi Xiaojing guessed wrong. Chen Shouyi did not take any action. After escaping, he immediately returned to the Grass-Benevolence Hall and started alchemy as if nothing had happened. These were the news that Mu Xiaoyin ryed, and there was no movement for more than ten days.


    During these ten days, Zhang Ke and the others were practicing intensively, while Mi Xiaojing, apart from cultivation, was constantly exploring the potential of the Green Wood Formation and searching for its secrets. With the help of Wang Weijun, his understanding of the Green Wood Formation deepened, and he became proficient in activating various incantations and magical techniques of the formation through continuous practice.


    Mi Xiaojing had no other choice. The only way he could deal with Chen Shouyi was through the Green Wood Formation. Without it, he wouldn''t stand a chance against his opponent. There was a huge gap in their cultivation levels, which made a world of difference in the cultivation world. Unless you had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible to defeat your opponent. Now, he could only rely on the Green Wood Formation.


    Chen Shouyi''s inaction increased the pressure on Mi Xiaojing, but Wang Weijun seemed unconcerned. He said, "Don''t worry, just wait. As long as you don''t give Chen Shouyi a chance, he won''t be able to do anything. I believe there will be changes soon."


    Sure enough, after another ten days, an order came from the higher-ups of the sect, asking Mi Xiaojing to go to the main hall of the sect.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing was cautious and carefully investigated. He found out that it was indeed the higher-ups of the sect who wanted him to go. He couldn''t refuse, but the Green Wood Formation had to stay in the courtyard. The activation method was also given to Zhang Ke and the others, a simple method of attacking the front courtyard with a magical sword to activate the Green Wood Formation.


    Since the main hall of the sect was on the main peak, and the Grass-Benevolence Hall was at the foot of the main peak, there would be no one to stop him in this area, so he didn''t have to worry about Chen Shouyi.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing flew on his sword, using the Thunder Sword. His speed was so fast that he turned into a sword rainbow, and the lightning shed as if it were thunder. In just a few breaths, he flew to the main hall on the main peak. Of course, Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to fly directly into the hall. He could onlynd not far away and walk up.


    In the sect, people like Mi Xiaojing who flew a certain distance were privileged. Others had tond at the foot of the mountain and climb up.


    After walking for a while, the main hall of the sect was faintly visible. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing saw a few people walking ahead. As he approached, one of them turned around and nced at him. It was Chen Shouyi.


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised, but then he smiled. In this ce, even if he borrowed Chen Shouyi''s courage, he wouldn''t dare to make a move. Among that group of people were Guan Shangli and Li Huai, as well as a few others whom Mi Xiaojing didn''t recognize.


    At this moment, Chen Shouyi didn''t dare to do anything to Mi Xiaojing. After all, Mi Xiaojing was now the pill master highly valued by the sect''s higher-ups. If he dared to kill Mi Xiaojing here, he might not be dead yet, but he would be beaten to death.


    He wasn''t foolish enough to do such a thing. Chen Shouyi appeared to be generous and easy-going on the surface, but he was actually quite sinister in his heart. He liked to do things quietly.


    Just like when facing Hong Qing, he had always endured it. Even if Hong Qing confronted him, he rarely showed any hostility. But once he found the right opportunity, he would strike a fatal blow. That was his preferred style.


    The group of people entered the main hall, during which Chen Shouyi didn''t say a word, and Mi Xiaojing also had a nk expression, as if nothing had happened.


    In fact, Chen Shouyi asionally stole nces at Mi Xiaojing. He found that the little guy could remain calm just like him, as if nothing had happened. It should be noted that not long ago, the two of them had fought desperately.


    Chen Shouyi became more alert, and Mi Xiaojing also became more vignt. With Wang Weijun''s guidance, he decided to speak less and observe more. The more he spoke, the more ws he would reveal. Speaking less naturally meant fewer ws. Silence was the best!


    The group of people entered the main hall, and in the center of the hall sat two people.


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian and Elder Mu Hengyuan.


    Chen Shouyi''s heart trembled slightly. He knew that Mu Xiaoyin was entrusted to him by Mu Hengyuan, and Mu Xiaoyin was close to Mi Xiaojing. Did Mu Xiaoyin say something?


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but feel guilty. In the sect, killing fellow disciples was a serious crime, let alone Mi Xiaojing, who was favored by the higher-ups of the sect. Once the truth came out, he would definitely face cruel punishment. Even if he didn''t die, it would be unbearable for him.


    In the strict hierarchy of the cultivation world, this hierarchy was not based on sect positions, but on individual cultivation levels. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, regardless of their strength or status, was naturally lower than a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage, which applied in most situations.


    Mi Xiaojing being favored by the Elemental Infant Ancestor made Chen Shouyi afraid.


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian said calmly, "Take a seat!"


    The group of people found a rush cushion to sit on, and no one dared to speak. Cultivators in the Elemental Infant stage possessed immense pressure, naturally creating an invisible oppression that made people involuntarily submit.


    Mu Hengyuan swept his gaze around and said, "Chen Shouyi, where is Hong Qing from the Grass-Benevolence Hall?"


    Chen Shouyi''s heart shook, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Master Uncle, I have been alchemy recently and haven''t gone out. I don''t know where Hong Qing is. I sincerely mean what I say."


    No wonder this guy started alchemy as soon as he returned. He had been prepared long ago.


    With one less pill master, and the sectcking pills, how could it not attract attention?


    Mu Hengyuan stared at Chen Shouyi, and seeing that his expression didn''t change, he nodded and said, "Alright, then who has seen Hong Qing recently, speak up."


    The atmosphere suddenly became tense.Seeing Mu Hengyuan staring at him, Guan Shangli felt a shiver run down his spine. He shook his head and said, "I haven''t seen him, and it''s been a while since Ist did. I''ve been in the Grass-Benevolence Hall all this time..."


    Li Huai also said, "I''ve been busy with alchemy recently and haven''t gone out. I have no idea where Senior Brother Hong Qing is."


    There were people who imed to have seen Hong Qing, but those were events from a while ago. Recently, no one knew where Hong Qing had gone.


    In the Grass-Benevolence Hall, there were conflicts among the Pill Masters. The most noticeable one was between Hong Qing and Chen Shouyi. However, everyone knew that Chen Shouyi always tolerated Hong Qing. Under normal circumstances, he rarely argued with Hong Qing. Therefore, although Mu Hengyuan and other higher-ups had some suspicions about Chen Shouyi, they had no evidence. Chen Shouyi''s usual behavior also proved that he was unlikely to be the murderer.


    But where had Hong Qing gone? (To be continued.)

 Chapter 151: Divine Pill

    <h4>Chapter 151: Divine Pill</h4>


    Everyone asked once, including Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing''s answer was very simple: "I haven''t seen him recently, and I''m not familiar with him."


    No one doubted Mi Xiaojing, after all, as a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, it would require at least the strength of the Elemental Infant stage or above to silently kill him. In the eyes of the Elder, Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level was clear at a nce - at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, a cultivation level that many disciples in the sect possessed. It was impossible for someone at this level to kill a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Mo Chentian said, "If there is any news, you can privately inform me and Grass-Benevolence Hall. Mobilize immediately and search for Hong Qing''s whereabouts. We must see the person alive or see the corpse!"


    Everyone answered solemnly, "Yes!"


    Chen Shouyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Mi Xiaojing had no report for now. He also realized that Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to reveal this information. However, he didn''t appreciate it at all. If he had the chance, he would not hesitate to kill this kid. Of course, the premise was to force out the secret of his alchemy.


    Mi Xiaojing also breathed a sigh of relief because Wang Weijun told him that there was no danger for now. The sect had already noticed Hong Qing''s disappearance, which put great pressure on Chen Shouyi. He definitely wouldn''t dare to act rashly in the near future.


    In addition to searching for Hong Qing, the sect issued another alchemy task. Everyone received a list of spirit pills to be handed in. Mi Xiaojing''s task this time was to refine a new pill used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators.


    The Yang God Pill!


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. He certainly knew what the Yang God Pill was. It was a spirit pill used by cultivators at the Great Perfection stage of Elemental Infant to break through bottlenecks. He knew about it but couldn''t refine it. Moreover, this kind of spirit pill was simply not something that cultivators at his level could control.


    "I can''t refine the Yang God Pill."


    Relying on Wang Weijun''s inheritance, he could barely refine some spirit pills used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. These spirit pills were refined using special methods. ording to Mi Xiaojing''s own strength, he couldn''t even reach these spirit pills.


    Mo Chentian said, "I''m not forcing you to refine it. The sect has collected the materials for refining the Yang God Pill, as well as the magical techniques and incantations for refining it. We have also obtained a pill scripture. Hmm, this pill scripture will be given to you and Shouyi. This task is not only for you, but also for Shouyi to join."


    Li Huai and others couldn''t help but envy. This task was definitely the top task of the sect. Regardless of whether they couldplete it or not, there were plenty of sect rewards. Once sessful, there would be even more benefits. It was impossible not to envy and be jealous.


    Chen Shouyi was also shocked. He also knew what the Yang God Pill was. This kind of spirit pill was already considered top-tier in ordinary sects and was simply unattainable. To refine this kind of spirit pill, at least the cultivation level of the early stage of Elemental Infant was required. How could he, a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, refine it?


    What was even more absurd was that Mi Xiaojing was asked to join. A cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment was going to refine a top-tier spirit pill for Elemental Infant stage cultivators. It was simply a big joke, just like asking an ordinary person to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but say, "Let him join? He''s just a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. How could he refine such a spirit pill?"


    Mi Xiaojing was immediately unhappy and said, "I can at least refine the Nurturing Infant Pill used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. Can Junior Martial Uncle refine any spirit pills used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators? Let me learn."


    Chen Shouyi''s face turned red and he shouted, "Kid, do you dare to disrespect your elders?"


    Mi Xiaojing calmly said, "I dare not!"


    Someone couldn''t help but sneer secretly. He couldn''tpare in alchemy, but he dared topare seniority. Chen Shouyi wasn''t that great either.


    Chen Shouyi suddenly realized and immediately suppressed his anger, saying, "As an elder, I want to teach you a lesson. As a junior, you should treat your elders with humility. Without the guidance of your elders, could you have your current status and cultivation level?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It seems like Senior Martial Uncle has never given me guidance in alchemy. It seems like he has never taught me cultivation either."


    Chen Shouyi was about to explode. He angrily said, "Kid, do you dare to disrespect your elders?"


    Mi Xiaojing calmly said, "I dare not!"


    Mo Chentian frowned and said, "What are you doing?" As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and the pressure that Chen Shouyi had just released melted away like boiling water on snow.


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but curse in his heart. He quickly bowed to Mo Chentian and said, "Sorry, I was impulsive."


    Mu Hengyuan said at this time, "Alright, alright, this is the decision of the sect''s Elder. It doesn''t stipte that you must seed. Although the materials for refining the Yang God Pill are precious and the pill scripture is also precious, the sect has decided to let you try to refine it. Regardless of sess or failure, there will be sect rewards. Of course, if you can sessfully refine it, the sect will give great rewards!"


    Chen Shouyi didn''t dare to continue losing his temper and bowed.


    Mi Xiaojing also saluted and said, "As youmand!"Wang Weijun had been yelling excitedly inside Mi Xiaojing''s body: "What a great opportunity, haha, what''s next, what''s next! What''s so great about a mere Divine Pill! Hurry up and ask, what Pill Scripture are they giving!" He became excited at the mention of the Pill Scripture. You should know that in the Cultivation World, there are many types of Pill Scriptures, many of which have been passed down from ancient times, including some extremely precious unique copies.


    Mo Chentian nodded in satisfaction.


    Mu Hengyuan said, "This Pill Scripture, let Mi Xiaojing look at it first, then Shouyi."


    Chen Shouyi was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he knew that due to Mi Xiaojing''s high talent in alchemy, the sect''s emphasis on him had reached its peak. He could refine Spirit Pills that spanned two major realms. No matter how much the sect valued such a person, it would not be too much.


    .


    "Also, the Pill Scripture can only be read in my presence. You can understand as much as you can. The Pill Scripture records how to refine the Divine Pill. This is the key content to look at."


    A faint smile appeared on Mi Xiaojing''s face.


    The corners of Chen Shouyi''s mouth also slightly curled up. Such a good thing was rare even in the sect. He was very lucky this time. He decided to remember as much useful information as possible, no matter what.


    Elder Yu Hong walked in, and all the cultivators saluted: "Greetings, Elder!"


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Brother, the tasks have been assigned, but there is no clue about Hong Qing''s disappearance."


    Yu Hong nodded and asked, "Have you talked about the Pill Scripture?"


    Mu Hengyuan replied, "Yes, I told Mi Xiaojing to look at it first, then Shouyi."


    Yu Hong said, "No need, look at it together. Those who are not involved can leave." To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 152: Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture

    <h4>Chapter 152: Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture</h4>


    Li Huai, Guan Shangli, and other pill masters felt extremely disappointed in their hearts, and their expressions were very deste. The pill scripture was not something they could read.


    This opportunity is too rare. Unfortunately, their alchemy skills and contributions are not enough, so they naturally don''t have the qualifications to read the pill scripture.


    There were only five people left in the main hall: Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, Chen Shouyi, and Mi Xiaojing.


    Mo Chentian and Yu Hong were both protectors. Mu Hengyuan took out a jade box, one foot long, about the size of a palm, and one finger thick. As soon as this jade box appeared, Chen Shouyi''s breathing became rapid.


    Mi Xiaojing just felt that this jade box was extremely exquisite, and he remained calm. However, Wang Weijun inside him started to jump up and down.


    "Ah? Ah! Ah ya ya, this is the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture! The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture! How did this thing end up here, damn it! The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture actually appeared here!"


    "What is the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture?"


    Mi Xiaojing was really confused.


    "No matter what, you must obtain this thing. Hey, this is the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture!"


    "Are you kidding me! How can I obtain this thing? There are three Elemental Infant stage experts here. Are you asking me to snatch it?"


    A small green person anxiously spun around on the heart tower, and Wang Weijun''s eyes were turning red. The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture! If he still had a physical body, if he was still a powerful expert in the Unity stage, he would not hesitate to destroy the entire Heart Sect just to obtain this pill scripture.


    "How can a small Heart Sect have such a treasure! This is unreasonable, this is wrong!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to say, because Wang Weijun kept saying that it was unreasonable, and he had a look of shock on his face. This made him vaguely feel the extraordinary nature of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    The jade box emitted a faint white light, and there were four words on the surface. Mi Xiaojing recognized two of them, but didn''t recognize the other two. The two that he recognized were the words "pill scripture," and the other two that he didn''t recognize were probably the "Ancient Tribtion" that Wang Weijun mentioned.


    For Mi Xiaojing, these four words had a special meaning. They emitted an ancient aura that rushed towards him, giving him an extremely solid and heavy feeling.


    Wang Weijun marveled, "Every sect has its own heritage! It''s simply unbelievable! The Heart Sect actually has such a treasure. If it were discovered by experts, the Heart Sect would have been finished long ago. This heaven-defying treasure actually appeared here."


    Chen Shouyi''s eyes lit up. He didn''t know how precious this thing was, but he knew that such a solemnly presented pill scripture, and with three Elemental Infant stage elders as protectors, this thing was definitely extraordinary and might be a hidden treasure of the sect.


    Mu Hengyuan performed a magical technique, followed by Yu Hong, who also performed a magical technique. Finally, Mo Chentian activated an incantation, and only then did they open the seal of the jade box.


    At this time, the defensive formation in the main hall alsopletely opened, and a hazy green light enveloped the entire hall.


    When the jade box slid open, a purple glow shot up into the sky, but it was trapped by the formation in the hall and couldn''t prate outside.


    The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture in the jade box slowly floated up like it had no weight at all, hanging about a foot above the jade box, fluctuating up and down.


    There were a total of seven pieces, like folded small screens.


    As soon as the seven pill scriptures unfolded, they emitted a dazzling light. The purple glow was apanied by strands of golden light. Everyone in the main hall was bathed in this light, turning purple. Even Yu Hong and the other Elemental Infant stage experts couldn''t help but hold their breath.


    It was so beautiful, and it gave people a strange shock, as if they had immersed themselves in some kind of enlightenment, making them feel refreshed.


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t wait and approached, but as soon as he looked at it, his heart turned cold. He couldn''t understand it at all. He couldn''t recognize what was recorded on it. It was like countless tadpoles swimming on it, making it impossible to identify what these tadpoles represented.


    In fact, Yu Hong couldn''t understand it either. Only Mu Hengyuan understood a little bit, but the part he could understand was very limited, and he had to guess.


    Wang Weijun suddenly burst intoughter and said, "These ignorant fools don''t recognize this ancient text at all. To read this kind of text, they need to have received the inheritance or studied it. It''s impossible without a high level ofprehension. Haha, it''s interesting."


    "I don''t understand either."


    Just as Mi Xiaojing finished speaking, those swimming characters suddenly appeared on the heart tower, slowly appearing row by row. As long as Mi Xiaojing''s gaze fell on the content, it would simultaneously be imprinted on the heart tower. Evolutionary Immortality was the most sensitive to characters. Even if he couldn''t understand them, he could quickly record them.


    Wang Weijun continued to mock, "There are two ways to interpret this kind of text. These fools don''t understand either. One is to recognize this ancient text, and the other is to directlyprehend it. Thetter requires an extremely high level ofprehension. Haha, after cultivating for so many years, I haven''t seen a single person with this level ofprehension."Mi Xiaojing was already terrified. The peculiar characters that appeared on the Heart Tower were quickly dragged into the tower by golden chains. He had no idea that there was a Mantra Banner in the Heart Tower, which was absorbing these unique ancient characters.


    Wang Weijun, however, understood what was happening. He hurriedly said, "Kid, quickly look at the first piece of text. It doesn''t matter if you don''t understand, but you must keep your eyes on it!"


    Without hesitation, Mi Xiaojing focused his gaze on the first piece of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. The ancient text was constantly changing. He suddenly realized that this was a very ancient method of recording. The text was brushed out, and its content was far more than what was seen on the surface, but had profound implications.


    The text was also very peculiar. Even if one didn''t understand it, it had a unique effect, which was to make the brain exceptionally clear. Those with deep cultivation levels might even have some kind of enlightenment.


    Chen Shouyi was also staring at it, but his whole body was trembling. He was extremely disappointed. How could he learn alchemy if he couldn''t recognize a single character? It was a joke. He knew that the Pill Scripture was precious, but if he couldn''t understand it, he just couldn''t. He happened to turn his head and saw Mi Xiaojing staring intently, and his heart suddenly jumped: "Could he understand it?"


    His attention began to shift to Mi Xiaojing. Chen Shouyi didn''t know why, but he had an intuition that Mi Xiaojing''s gains would definitely be greater than his own. What kind of genius was this? He felt as if he was being bitten by countless poisonous insects. This man must not be allowed to stay!


    There were a total of seven Pill Scriptures. Mi Xiaojing kept staring at the first one. As long as he saw the moving text, it would quickly appear on the Heart Tower and then be dragged away by the Mantra Chains.


    Mi Xiaojing was not yet clear about the reason for this scene, but Wang Weijun saw it clearly, and his heart was like a raging wave. To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 153: The trace of disappearance

    <h4>Chapter 153: The trace of disappearance</h4>


    Wang Weijun understood in his heart that even if Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand these words now, with the help of the Mantra Banner, he would eventuallyprehend them. Wang Weijun had no doubt about this.


    Even Wang Weijun could only vaguely understand these words. After all, although he hade into contact with many ancient artifacts, this was the first time he had seen such aplete Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. It was truly amazing.


    Everyone present had their attention focused on Mi Xiaojing because whenever they looked at the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, they had to close their eyes after a while to alleviate the stimtion. But Mi Xiaojing kept staring at it, as if his eyes were fixed.


    Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan exchanged a nce, both showing a hint of surprise.


    In the Cultivation World, there was a concept of fate. Many unknown treasures, like the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, were known to be good things, but even some powerful cultivators couldn''tprehend them. This was a matter of fate orck thereof.


    The same treasure, if coincidentally obtained by a low-level cultivator, might be understood and used. That was fate.


    Now Yu Hong and the others suspected that there was a connection between Mi Xiaojing and the Pill Scripture.


    Mi Xiaojing had already started reading the third piece of the Pill Scripture, and his speed was getting faster and faster. Yu Hong and the others didn''t dare to disturb him and could only watch eagerly. They truly hoped that Mi Xiaojing couldprehend the essence of this scripture.


    Even if Mi Xiaojing couldn''t refine the Yang God Pill now, with the improvement of his cultivation level, he might be able to refine it in the future. For this reason, Yu Hong and the other elders would pay special attention to Mi Xiaojing.


    Chen Shouyi had already lowered his head deeply. He didn''t want to look at Mi Xiaojing, the Pill Scripture, or the several elders. His face was contorted because he understood that Mi Xiaojing must have gained something.


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t understand the Pill Scripture at all, let alone refine the Yang God Pill. He couldn''t even find the characters for "Yang God Pill."


    The sadness of life was no greater than this. A sumptuous feast was right in front of him, but he was starving to death, and his mouth had disappeared. That feeling was truly worse than death.


    Others couldn''t see Chen Shouyi''s face and thought he was meditating, so they didn''t pay attention to him.


    At this time, Mi Xiaojing was already reading the seventh piece of the Pill Scripture, and his speed was even faster. The entire process of reading the scripture took a total of seven days. Mi Xiaojing spent two full days on the first piece of the scripture, and then his speed became faster and faster. He only spent two hours on thest piece of the scripture.


    Sitting still for seven days, Mi Xiaojing didn''t eat or drink. When he finished reading, he couldn''t help but have the urge to cry. It wasn''t because he gained something or was moved, but because his eyes were tired. Even though he was a cultivator, continuously staring at something for so long made him feel exhausted.


    Closing his eyes tightly, Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian.


    There was no trace on the Heart Tower, which greatly surprised Mi Xiaojing. He had seen the changes in the Heart Tower and followed Wang Weijun''s advice to stare at the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture for seven days straight. He was exhausted, but he didn''t expect to find nothing on the Heart Tower.


    "What''s going on?"


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. You just have to wait for a while."


    Even though Wang Weijunforted him, Mi Xiaojing was still very puzzled. Where did those characters go?


    "But... but..."


    "There''s nothing to worry about. It''s only been seven days. Why are you in such a hurry?"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused, but since Wang Weijun said it was okay, he could only treat it as nothing.


    Yu Hong couldn''t help but ask, "How is it?"


    So everyone''s gaze fell on Mi Xiaojing, who had his eyes closed, even Chen Shouyi raised his head and stared at him.


    Mo Chentian couldn''t help but ask, "Mi Xiaojing, did you gain anything?"


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, his expression clearly showing that he had expected to gain something, but Wang Weijun just said it was nothing and dismissed him. It was impossible not to be disappointed. After all, he was still a child, and his unintentional expression of disappointment made everyone''s hearts sink.


    Only Chen Shouyi secretly rejoiced in his heart. "I knew it. Even I couldn''t understand it, and even Senior Uncle and Senior Brother couldn''t understand it. How could a little brat like you understand it?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I don''t know if I gained anything. Maybe I have to wait for a while..." He was telling the truth.


    Yu Hong hurriedly asked, "Did you really gain something?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "If I have time in the future, let me observe the Pill Scripture again. Maybe I will gain something then."


    Mu Hengyuan didn''t give up and said, "Do you have any ideas about refining the Yang God Pill?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I can give it a try, but I''m not confident."


    This was Wang Weijun''s promise, but it wasn''t something Mi Xiaojing had realized from the Pill Scripture.


    He told Mi Xiaojing to agree first. With his help, Mi Xiaojing might be able to try it. Even if it didn''t seed, it didn''t matter. After all, his cultivation level was too low.But Yu Hong and the others didn''t think so. Since they dared to say such words, they must have gained some insights from the Pill Scripture. This was good news. Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, and Mu Hengyuan all showed a hint of excited smiles.


    Yu Hong rubbed his hands together, looking forward to it, "When can we start alchemy? Everything will be prepared by the sect, you just need to focus on refining. Even if it fails, there will be rewards!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I need time to settle down..."


    Yu Hong said, "No problem at all, take as much time as you need! Of course, the sooner the better."


    Mo Chentian said, "Yes, yes, don''t worry, the sect''s resources will start to tilt towards you from today... You are the top priority!"


    Mu Hengyuan also said, "Whatever you need, just tell me. As long as the sect has it, it will be provided to you immediately!"


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. Were these three Elemental Infant old monsters ttering him? He had a feeling of extreme unreality.


    Chen Shouyi''s eyes were about to pop out. What kind of treatment was this? Hadn''t the Divine Pill been refined yet? If it really was refined, wouldn''t he ascend to heaven?


    Chen Shouyi felt like there was a fire in his heart, truly burning his heart and lungs, his internal organs were about to turn into ashes. It was like a cat scratching his heart, making his eyes red.


    Mi Xiaojingughed awkwardly, "I''ll try my best, haha, I''ll try my best..." Although he said so, in fact, he had no confidence in refining the Divine Pill at all.


    Chen Shouyi''s eyes turned, he said, "I can be an assistant when Mi Xiaojing refines pills..."


    Mi Xiaojing was startled, he quickly said, "No, no! I don''t want... I don''t need any assistant. Since when does an uncle be an assistant for his disciple? This is absolutely not eptable!"


    Are you kidding me? Chen Shouyi as an assistant? This guy has been wanting to catch him for a long time. If he let this guye, let alone refining pills, he wouldn''t even be able to save his life.


    "I don''t want an assistant. If there''s an assistant, I won''t refine pills!" (To be continued.)

 Chapter 154: Knock

    <h4>Chapter 154: Knock</h4>


    Yu Hong frowned, not because Mi Xiaojing didn''t want Chen Shouyi as his assistant, but because Mi Xiaojing''s reaction was too strange. He even went as far as refusing to refine pills as a condition. There must be a problem in between!


    Not only did Yu Hong notice, but Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian also sensed that something was wrong. This reaction was not happiness, but extreme unease.


    Chen Shouyi''s face turned pale instantly. He had just had a sudden inspiration, but he didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing''s reaction to be so intense. He also knew that he had caught the attention of several Elemental Infants. This was not a good thing. Before the old guys could speak, he immediately said, "Haha, just kidding... don''t take it seriously!"


    The three Elemental Infant cultivators stared at him, and Chen Shouyi broke out in a cold sweat. He was really scared, and he could clearly see the doubt in Yu Hong''s eyes. He immediately woke up and realized that he shouldn''t y tricks in front of the old guys, or the consequences would be severe.


    Mi Xiaojing felt quite angry. How dare this guy! He decided to give Chen Shouyi a taste of his own medicine.


    "Master Uncle has always been overbearing... I dare not offend him..."


    Chen Shouyi''s face turned green.


    Yu Hong, the elder, stared at Chen Shouyi and said, "Overbearing? How do you treat your juniors?"


    Chen Shouyi cursed in his heart, but he was really scared. Sweat beads appeared on his face, and he forced a smile, "Haha, the kid just likes to joke. I always take good care of my juniors!"


    Turning his head to look at Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi''s eyes emitted a fierce light.


    Mi Xiaojing''s gaze was cold, and he stared back at him without showing any weakness. However, Chen Shouyi only nced at him before immediately lowering his head. He also knew that he had to endure at this moment. The elders were all watching, and if they found out that he was unfriendly towards Mi Xiaojing, many things would be difficult to handle.


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Since that''s the case, Mi Xiaojing will refine pills independently, and we don''t need Shouyi anymore."


    Mo Chentian said, "Shouyi, have you understood? If not, you don''t need to refine the Yang Shen Pill. We have limited materials, and we can''t take risks."


    Chen Shouyi was almost infuriated, but he couldn''t oppose anything. He couldn''t even show any dissatisfaction. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, disciple didn''t understand..."


    Yu Hong reached out and tapped the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. The seven pages, made of an unknown material, instantly merged together and slowly fell into the jade box. The lid of the jade box also closed automatically. Four ancient characters emitted a faint light and then dimmed. This viewing session was officially over.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but sigh, "Such a treasure is actually hidden by a few juniors. Ah, what a pity..."


    "This way of recording is really amazing. Old man,pared to the cultivation manuals I''ve read before, it''s apletely different feeling!"


    "You''ve only entered the cultivation world for a few days. There are many amazing ways of recording. This is considered rtively good, but there are even more and better ones. You just haven''t seen them yet. Maybe when your cultivation level is higher, you''ll be able to see them."


    "Really?"


    Just by seeing the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, Mi Xiaojing was greatly shocked. He didn''t know if Evolutionary Immortality had something as amazing as this, but the treasures in the cultivation world could truly blind people. They were so incredible.


    This was the first time Mi Xiaojing hade into contact with real treasures from the cultivation world. It might not be the top-tier treasure, but it had a certain level and history. In other words, the person who made this thing was definitely a super expert in the cultivation world, and might even be a Loose Immortal.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that he had a real Evolutionary Sect treasure inside him, the top treasure of the Evolutionary Immortality world. If it wasn''t for the help of this treasure, he probably wouldn''t exist. It was thanks to this treasure that he was able to be born.


    But Mi Xiaojing had never seen the Mantra Banner before, so he didn''t know about the wonders of Evolutionary Immortality. Not only was Mi Xiaojing full of admiration for the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, even Wang Weijun couldn''t stop sighing. He regretted why he hadn''t heard of the Heart Sect before and missed such a precious treasure.


    Yu Hong said, "Mi Xiaojing, go back and adjust yourself. Come to the sect hall in a few days. I will send someone to notify you. Don''t go out during this time."


    Mi Xiaojing agreed and bid farewell.


    Yu Hong slowly sat down and said, "Shouyi, you also sit down."


    Chen Shouyi was shocked. He instinctively felt that something was not right.


    Chen Shouyi had a deep fear of the Elemental Infant seniors in the sect. These elders usually didn''t interfere with trivial matters and wouldn''t appear unless it was something particrly important. But in recent years, they had directly intervened and made decisions on many things, which was very different from before.


    Sitting down slowly, Chen Shouyi didn''t dare to raise his head. He kept his head down, his ears perked up. There was no way around it. Who made him kill Hong Qing? He was really scared that the elders would find out.


    After all, Hong Qing was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a capable pill master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, and the sect attached great importance to those who could refine pills.


    "Shouyi, you''ve been working hard recently."


    Chen Shouyi suddenly raised his head. They weren''t questioning him about anything. He immediately became spirited. He was really afraid that the elders would find out that he had killed Hong Qing.


    You should know that Hong Qing was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a capable pill master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, and the sect attached great importance to those who could refine pills.


    "Yes, it''s my duty."


    Chen Shouyi didn''t dare to say much.


    "Recently, you need to refine more low-grade spirit pills. The sect is reallycking them, so you need to perform well."


    Chen Shouyi suddenly felt a surge of anger, but he concealed it well. Refining low-grade spirit pills was not helpful to him. It only consumed his time and energy. Only by refining higher-grade spirit pills could his alchemy level improve.No matter how much he tried to suppress his anger, a hint of it still seeped through. Yu Hong, of course, saw it clearly.


    "The sect will not treat you unfairly. Although refining low-level pills doesn''t help you much, this is the time when the sect needs you the most..."


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but want to argue, but when he looked up at Yu Hong, his courage suddenly vanished. The words on the tip of his tongue turned into, "Yes, I will try my best to refine."


    He had no choice but to bow his head. The resentment in his heart was like a tide, but Chen Shouyi still didn''t dare to object. He just hated Mi Xiaojing even more because the higher-level Spirit Pills were originally refined by him. Just practicing was worth it, not to mention the Spirit Pills that could be left behind.


    He had been in the Grass-Benevolence Hall for a long time and knew there were many dirty and corrupt things inside. There were really many opportunities, but now they were all given to Mi Xiaojing. How could he not hate him?


    Yu Hong stood up and patted Chen Shouyi''s shoulder, "Shouyi, work hard... Some things, when it''s time to let go, just let go."


    Chen Shouyi was startled by Yu Hong''sst sentence. He didn''t know if Yu Hong was warning him or had discovered something, but he didn''t dare to say anything or ask anything. He left with a feeling of suffocation. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 155: Interpret

    <h4>Chapter 155: Interpret</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that Chen Shouyi had been beaten. After leaving the main hall, he flew down the mountain on his sword.


    The Huiquan Abbey was quiet. Mi Xiaojing walked to the backyard and saw Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu. Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin should be in their rooms.


    They were all sitting cross-legged in the Gathering Spirit Array, practicing with closed eyes. These little guys were also working hard in their cultivation. They cherished the excellent cultivation conditions they had.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t disturb them and found a corner to sit down.


    This time, he wasn''t cultivating but evolving his immortality. He had a question in his mind: where did the characters he brushed on the Heart Tower go?


    Mi Xiaojing began to recite the Mantra.


    When the Mantra characters appeared, Mi Xiaojing finally noticed something wrong. Besides the Mantra characters, he also noticed some strange characters, which he had seen in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture before, but they were exceptionally chaotic.


    Some Mantra characters were mixed with the strange characters from the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, while others were not. Mi Xiaojing was confused, but he still persisted in reciting the Mantra.


    Gradually, he discovered that the strange characters were increasing. They appeared every time alongside the Mantra characters, but only one character appeared each time.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing realized that these characters appeared together with the Mantra characters. Could it be that they had the same meaning?


    If that was the case, it would exin why the two characters appeared together and why some Mantra characters had them while others didn''t. It was like a trantion.


    Mi Xiaojing began to memorize.


    Both evolutionary immortality and cultivators had strong memory abilities. As long as they paid attention, they could remember. With the appearance of the characters, more and more characters from the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture were memorized by Mi Xiaojing.


    To his surprise, the Mantra characters and the characters from the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture were actuallybining. New characters gradually formed, emitting a faint purple light, which looked extremely beautiful.


    With thebination of the two, it seemed that the power of his Mantra was also increasing.


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly understand the meanings of these characters. The means of evolutionary immortality was the Mantra, which was the power of characters. All characters were included, and the "Ten Thousand Character Mantra Banner" didn''t just mean ten thousand characters. The so-called "ten thousand characters" represented the inclusion of all characters.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing realized something. Even if he had never seen any characters in this world, the Heart Tower would let him recognize them. This was a great advantage. In the cultivation world and the evolutionary immortality world, there were countless types of characters, especially arge number of ancient characters that cultivators couldn''t possibly know.


    Mi Xiaojing saw his own advantage. If he could understand any characters, then he could learn more things. Even if he couldn''t master them, it would still increase his knowledge reserves.


    For a cultivator, it was not just about cultivation at the beginning. To reach a higher level, there were many other factors besides cultivation.


    High-level cultivators needed not only aptitude and spiritual talent but also rich experiences and various life experiences. Only with these could a person in cultivation reach a high level.


    A cultivator who was ignorant and inexperienced was destined to not go far.


    Under Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mi Xiaojing gradually approached the concept of a cultivator. In fact, Wang Weijun himself was starting to feel confused. Was he cultivating a good body or cultivating a powerful enemy? He was extremely conflicted, but whenever he encountered any problems, he still had to help.


    If Mi Xiaojing failed, he wouldn''t be able to live, let alone be reborn.


    For this reason, Wang Weijun had to help. This decision made him speechless. He cared more about Mi Xiaojing than his own son or direct disciple, although he didn''t have a son or direct disciple.


    Originally, he wanted to take over Mi Xiaojing''s body, but it turned into the current situation. Sometimes, when Wang Weijun reflected on it, he felt full of anger and helplessness.


    However, in the end, he made up his mind to continue helping Mi Xiaojing. When he made this decision, he couldn''t help but have the urge to cry. It was really too unfair.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that Wang Weijun was so conflicted, nor did he know that he had so many ulterior motives. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing waspletely immersed in the joy of his new discovery. His heart was burning with excitement. If it was true, then no matter what kind of cultivation technique he obtained in the future, he would be able to decipher it. What could be more important than this?


    However, Mi Xiaojing soon discovered an important problem.


    The problem was that although he recognized these ancient characters, they were also scattered and couldn''t form the original content.


    In other words, the Mantra Banner only recognized the characters, and it didn''t care about anything else. If he wanted to know what was recorded in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, he had to rely on Mi Xiaojing''s memory again. With his memory, he could remember the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    For three consecutive days, except for a few hours of cultivation and absorbing the Qianyang Purple Qi in the morning, Mi Xiaojing spent all his time silently reciting the Mantra.


    Now he understood that only by reciting the Mantra would the ancient characters appear, and they would appear in pairs. If the Mantra characters were a kind of universalnguage, then the characters from the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture were ancient characters. Only when the meanings of the two matched would the Mantra Banner match.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing discovered that once paired spirit scripts appeared, the power of the mantra would directly double. This was the reason for his tireless recitation of the mantra. Even because of reciting such paired mantras, his prayer beads underwent a certain change. The entire prayer bead was glossy ck, and a hint of golden purple halo had appeared.


    Of course, this halo only manifested when it was blessed, and there was no change at ordinary times.


    The prayer beads were twirling in Mi Xiaojing''s hand. Each time he recited a mantra, a golden purple mantra would be blessed on the prayer beads. Although these mantra spirit scripts were extremely delicate, they could not withstand the umtion over the years. Once they reached a certain level, these prayer beads would be excellent weapons for Evolutionary Immortality, carrying the spirituality of some mantras.


    Weapons for Evolutionary Immortality were generally refined in this way. An Evolutionary Immortality weapon was often the lifeblood of an Evolutionary Immortal, closely rted to them. Once the weapon was destroyed, the Evolutionary Immortal would also suffer severe damage, so Mi Xiaojing never considered using prayer beads as weapons.


    After cultivation, there were plenty of strange weapons. He would not be foolish enough to use prayer beads to fight. Evolutionary Immortality weapons could only truly exert their power when their master reached a high level.


    In other words, they must at least reach a level that matches the Elemental Infant stage cultivator. Only then can the weapons blessed by Evolutionary Immortality y a certain role. To be continued.

 Chapter 156: Re-observing the Pill Scripture

    <h4>Chapter 156: Re-observing the Pill Scripture</h4>


    Every time Xiaojing ascended a level, the power of his weapon would increase exponentially. If Xiaojing''s weapon wasparable to that of a Cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage during the Heart Sect period, then after ascending again, its power would surpass that of a Divine Pill stage expert, and the gap would only continue to widen.


    Unfortunately, it was difficult for Xiaojing to reach such heights. Most Xiaojing died before they could ascend, while others were killed by Cultivators. It was extremely rare for someone to cultivate to such a level.


    This was also the reason why Xiaojing was so weakpared to Cultivators. Experts were too scarce, and naturally, they would be constantly suppressed by Cultivators.


    After persevering for two more days, someone suddenly came to inform Mi Xiaojing to go to the main hall of the sect. He then remembered that Yu Hong had instructed him to go to the main hall after a period of time.


    Following the person, Mi Xiaojing quickly flew to the vicinity of the main hall of the sect and slowly descended, walking towards it.


    In the main hall, all four elders were present. When they saw Mi Xiaojing enter, they quickly suppressed their own aura. The inequality brought about by their levels was fully disyed here. Even though the four elders in the Elemental Infant stage did not want to oppress others with their power, Mi Xiaojing still felt suffocated.


    Mi Xiaojing gritted his teeth and walked in, bowing respectfully. "Greetings, seniors."


    Yu Hong waved his hand and said, "Mi Xiaojing,e and sit."


    The Immortal Maiden, Azure Descent, waved her hand, and a rush cushion slid over from the side.


    Mi Xiaojing thanked her and sat cross-legged.


    Yu Hong said, "The reason we called you here this time is to ask if you have any insights into the content of the Pill Scripture."


    Mu Hengyuan exined, "After reading the Pill Scripture, one usually needs a few days to digest it and see if they have any insights. If they do, they can watch the Pill Scripture again. If not, then there is no hope. This Pill Scripture may not be meant for you."


    Mi Xiaojing''s heart was filled with joy. Wang Weijun had also exined this before. Some Cultivators with extremely highprehension could intuitively grasp some of the contents recorded in ancient artifacts. Through long periods of observation, they gradually understood the true meaning within. However, such Cultivators were extremely rare. Every time such a person appeared and sessfully grew, they would be an extraordinary expert.


    Mi Xiaojing did not rely on this toprehend the Pill Scripture. He relied on the Mantra Banner to memorize and identify ancient texts. The function of writing was to record and pass down knowledge. As long as one recognized and understood this type of writing, it would be easy to learn and remember its contents.


    "I have some insights. I hope to see the Pill Scripture again," Mi Xiaojing said.


    The expressions on the faces of Yu Hong and the others instantly turned ecstatic. It should be noted that this Pill Scripture had been stored in the Sword Heart Sect for a very long time. Only one senior had ever gained some insights from it. It was known that this Pill Scripture contained the method of refining the Divine Pill, but that senior had exhausted his entire life and could not gain any more insights.


    As for Yu Hong and the others, they had spent a lot of time observing this Pill Scripture. Unfortunately, no one couldprehend it. This Pill Scripture had always been stored in the sect''s most secret treasure vault until recently.


    Yu Hong readily agreed, "Alright, I will let you see it again. I hope you can gain insights into the method of refining the Divine Pill."


    The defense formation of the main hall was opened once again. This thing had to be blocked by a formation, otherwise, when the Pill Scripture was revealed, the Treasure Light would shoot straight into the sky, easily attracting the attention of true experts. This risk had to be prevented.


    With the defense formation opened, the leakage of the Treasure Light could bepletely blocked. This thing was like a bright light in the dark night. As long as it appeared, it could be seen from afar. Cultivators were familiar with this kind of Treasure Light, and the higher their cultivation level, the more sensitive they were. Once they discovered such a Treasure Light, it was unpredictable what kind of true experts it would attract. That would be a big trouble.


    Reviewing the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture again was really important for Mi Xiaojing. This time, he believed that he could remember this unique Pill Scripture.


    The four elders in the Elemental Infant stage were all hoping that Mi Xiaojing would gain something. If Mi Xiaojing could refine the Divine Pill, then they would have the confidence to invite powerful Cultivators. The Divine Pill was a great temptation for any Cultivator in the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant.


    They did not know that the Vast Gold Sect had invited Xu Zhongqing, a powerful Cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage, with the help of a Divine Pill.For an entire day, Mi Xiaojing just stared at it. This time was obviously faster than thest. He finished reading the seven pages of the Pill Scripture in one day. Mi Xiaojing closed his eyes, trying to recall the content.


    It was at this moment that Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that he had not remembered anything. The words were like water flowing over sand, disappearing without a trace in an instant.


    Mi Xiaojing was very clear about his memory, he couldn''t help but be horrified.


    How is this possible!


    Mi Xiaojing was not willing to ept this. His Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian, wanting to discuss with Wang Weijun. As a result, he once again saw the textbined with the true words and ancient text appearing on the Heart Tower, this time the ancient text did not disappear.


    Even if he didn''t understand, even if he couldn''t remember, what did it matter? This thing was automatically recorded by the Heart Tower, and it was aplete Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    From extreme disappointment to extreme joy, Mi Xiaojing pondered to himself. He didn''t expect that the Heart Tower could actually copy a high-level spiritual treasure level book. He hadn''t thought of this. As long as he had time to slowlyprehend, he believed he could understand everything in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    The four Elemental Infant old monsters didn''t dare to keep staring at Mi Xiaojing, fearing that Mi Xiaojing would be suppressed by their power. They also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb him while he wasprehending the Pill Scripture, so the four of them kept stealing nces, trying to maintain as much silence as possible.


    After a whole day, they found that Mi Xiaojing was still closing his eyes. They still didn''t dare to disturb him until Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, looked at the Pill Scripture for a few more hours, and then they heard Mi Xiaojing say, "I''ve seen enough, put it away." To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 157: Yong Ji

    <h4>Chapter 157: Yong Ji</h4>


    Yu Hong didn''t rush to put it away and asked, "How is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know how to answer, but he understood in his heart that only by attracting the attention of the elders of the sect could he be safer in the Sword Heart Sect. So he said, "There is a gain, but I need to seclude myself for a period of time to see if I can refine the Yang Shen Pill!"


    Mo Chentian''s face was full of joy. "That''s great!"


    Mu Hengyuan looked at Mi Xiaojing with aplicated gaze and said after a while, "Thisprehension is really terrifying. Haha, it''s our sect''s luck!"


    The Immortal Maiden, Biluo, didn''t say much. "Good, very good."


    .


    Yu Hong said, "Should we seclude ourselves here or go to the Gathering Spring Branch?"


    Mi Xiaojing considered for a moment and said, "Let''s seclude ourselves here."


    Yu Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll arrange it." He put away the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture and then canceled the defense of the hall. He called a cultivator and said, "Take him to the best quiet room for seclusion."


    The person looked at Mi Xiaojing in surprise and nodded, "Yes, Master."


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t see the cultivation level of this person, which proved that the other party''s cultivation level was much higher than his own. Wang Weijun reminded, "Late Foundation Establishment stage! Be careful."


    "Thank you, senior."


    Mi Xiaojing was always very polite.


    The person seemed to know Mi Xiaojing and said, "Follow me."


    Mi Xiaojing bowed to the four Elemental Infant old monsters and then followed the person out.


    This time, they walked towards the back of the hall. It was the first time Mi Xiaojing had been here. After leaving the back door of the hall, he saw arge garden with various spirit flowers and herbs, disying various bright colors andpeting for beauty.


    Mi Xiaojing recognized many spirit flowers and herbs. He found that there were many treasures among them and couldn''t help but sigh at the wealth of the Sword Heart Sect. They walked all the way to the back, following the corridor and going down. Soon, they entered a pavilion. Then the person asked Mi Xiaojing to stand in the center of the pavilion and smiled, "It''s a secret room that requires a short-distance teleportation."


    "Is this a teleportation array?"


    The person said, "It''s a simple teleportation array that can only teleport a few hundred meters." He pointed to the ground, indicating a few hundred meters underground, which surprised Mi Xiaojing.


    Before activating the teleportation array, the person said, "My surname is Yong, Yong Ji. You can call me Senior Yong."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Yes, Senior Yong."


    Yong Ji nodded and was very satisfied with Mi Xiaojing''s attitude. Of course, this premise was that the elders valued Mi Xiaojing. Otherwise, he wouldn''t bother with such a little guy, even if he was an alchemist.


    "When youe back, just use a hand gesture to activate the array. You can use anything inside, but you can''t take anything away."


    Yong Ji activated the teleportation array with a hand gesture, which Mi Xiaojing also knew.


    After the teleportation array was activated, Mi Xiaojing disappeared in an instant. Then, he appeared in a spacious hall underground. There was also a small teleportation array on a stone tform. He carefully looked around.


    This was a natural cave, very wide and high, with countless stctites hanging down, quite damp. There was a faint mist around, and there were several night pearls for illumination at the top, as well as a spotlight-like miniature formation, so the cave was not dim, especially with the night pearls shining on the stctites, making it even more colorful.


    The teleportation array was a small stone tform surrounded by flowing water, forming a pond. Mi Xiaojing knew that it was a Gathering Spring.


    The spring water gushed out from the Gathering Spring, and there was arger stone tform in the center of the water pool, which had been carefully repaired. There were three rush cushions and a white desk on it.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that this was the ce for seclusion and meditation.


    He flew over and sat down. He found that the rush cushion was also a good treasure. Sitting on it would bring a cool sensation, making one immediately calm down.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t cultivate, but instead sank his mind into his Dan Tian and began to observe the changes in the Heart Tower.


    Then he saw Wang Weijun squatting beside the Heart Tower, gesturing from time to time. He couldn''t help but ask, "What are you doing?"


    Wang Weijun was startled. "Hey, hey, don''t scare me, okay? I almost got scared to death by you."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "What are you doing sneakily?"


    "Who''s being sneaky? I''m just looking openly. Do I still need to be sneaky?"


    "You''re looking at the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture!"


    Mi Xiaojing instantly understood. Theplete text of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture had already been recorded on the Heart Tower. Even Wang Weijun could understand it byparing it with the true words.


    "Of course, what do you think I''m looking at? If I have this opportunity, why wouldn''t I look? Am I that foolish?"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "That''s great. If you understand it, you can teach me. Why is it that after I read it, I quickly forget?"


    Wang Weijun looked disdainful. "Of course you will forget. It''s the Ancient Immortal Script, also known as the Ancient Immortal Language. It''s strange enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you to remember it. People without a certain level simply can''t understand it. By the way, even Elemental Infant stage cultivators can''t understand it, and they can''t remember it either."


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised. "Really? No wonder I can''t remember. But why does this Ancient Immortal Script appear on my Heart Tower?"


    In fact, Wang Weijun had a guess in his heart. He thought it was the Mantra Banner''s credit, but he couldn''t say anything because he was imprisoned in the Mantra Banner.


    "How would I know? You''re really strange. You actually recorded the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture in this way!"


    "Has it beenpletely recorded? Is itplete? Is there anything missing?"


    Mi Xiaojing asked eagerly. He knew that the Heart Tower had recorded the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, but he didn''t know whether it wasplete or not.


    Wang Weijun said, "From what I can see for now, it seems to be recorded verypletely. I still need to examine it carefully. Hmm, you''re really lucky. After this, it seems that you won''t have any difficulty reading any ancient texts."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Is there a method for refining the Yang Shen Pill recorded?""Yes, but you won''t be able to refine it. This is an ancient method of alchemy. Without Heavenly Fire or simr treasures, it''s very difficult to seed in refining. Moreover, the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture is not just about alchemy. It also involves some ancient prohibitions and methods of crafting ancient treasures. I have carefully analyzed it, and there''s almost nothing you can use. Your cultivation level simply doesn''t match the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture."


    It''s like a primary school student trying to understand university-level content. Even if you recognize the words in the book, you probably won''t understand anything when they''re put together. Wang Weijun is not looking down on Mi Xiaojing. It''s clear that to understand, one must improve their cultivation level and realm. Otherwise, it''s like reading a heavenly book. Who can understand a heavenly book?


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t say anything. He began to carefully read the text on the Heart Tower.


    Then Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. He still couldn''t understand. He recognized every word, but the content they conveyed was incredibly profound. The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, a total of seven pieces of text, left Mi Xiaojing in a daze, half-understanding and half-confused. He couldn''t help but say, "Why is it so difficult?" To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 158: True-word chains

    <h4>Chapter 158: True-word chains</h4>


    Wang Weijun said, "That''s because you haven''t understood it yet. You need to learn to think like the ancients. Let me exin it to you, and perhaps you''ll get the idea."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Can you understand it?"


    "Pah! How could I possibly not understand it? Of course, I can! I''ve seen this type of Pill Scripture before."


    In truth, Wang Weijun was exaggerating. He could understand it, but notpletely. If Mi Xiaojing could understand five percent of it, he could understand fifty percent, and guess about twenty percent of the content. The remaining thirty percent would require time and careful consideration.


    The characteristic of ancient texts is that a single character can contain a lot of information. To exin an ancient text, hundreds of words might be needed. The same is true for mantras, which is why mantras can correspond to ancient texts. The only problem is that many cultivators'' understanding of ancient texts is often ineffable.


    Wang Weijun first exined the characteristics of ancient texts. This alone helped Mi Xiaojing understand many things, and hisprehension improved. When he looked at the ancient texts again, the previously iprehensible characters gradually became clearer.


    If Mi Xiaojing could only understand five percent of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture without guidance, after Wang Weijun''s exnation, he could understand ten percent.


    This was a significant improvement, but Mi Xiaojing still found that even the parts he understood had no practical value. His cultivation level was too low.


    This was not a problem that could be solved byprehension alone. A corresponding cultivation level was required for a corresponding understanding. With the realm that Wang Weijun had once reached, he understood more about the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture than someone with superiorprehension. This was the gap in cultivation strength.


    Wang Weijun said, "It''s okay if you don''t understand. Just keep reading and pondering, and spend more time on it. Do you know what kind of sensation the appearance of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture would cause in the Cultivation World? It could probably trigger a bloody war. This thing is very tempting. No one can silently record the content of the Pill Scripture like you. Anyone who gets the Pill Scripture would spend time pondering it every day. As long as there''s a bit of gain, it''s good enough."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded. He knew that many things couldn''t be rushed. He was happy to have discovered a heaven-defying function of the Heart Tower, which could record the content of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. This alone made it worthwhile.


    As for not understanding, it didn''t matter. Just because he didn''t understand it today didn''t mean he wouldn''t understand it in the future. The content was recorded in the Heart Tower, and unless something unexpected happened, it wouldn''t be lost. This gave him enough time toprehend.


    "Do you think I can refine the Divine Pill?"


    "It''s extremely difficult, almost impossible to seed. Even if you do seed, you''ll probably only produce a low-grade Divine Pill. The efficacy of a low-grade Divine Pill is much worse, but of course, it''s better than nothing. You can try it, anyway, you don''t have to provide the materials."


    Just as Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were talking, a sudden change urred. Wang Weijun was abruptly entangled by chains that shot out from the Heart Tower and was dragged into it. In fact, he was dragged into the Mantra Banner. Mi Xiaojing was stunned. This was the first time he knew that Wang Weijun was trapped by chains formed by the Mantra Script.


    "How are you?"


    "I''m cultivating!"


    Wang Weijun shamelessly bluffed, maintaining his dignity.


    After the golden-purple chain dragged Wang Weijun away, it immediately wrapped around the surface of the Heart Tower and began tobine with the ancient text on the Heart Tower.


    Wang Weijun was actually baffled. He didn''t think he had triggered the Mantra Banner, so he didn''t understand why he was dragged back. However, being a master, he quickly calmed down and observed carefully.


    Inside the Mantra Banner, chains were flying in the air. This was a self-contained space, with no visible top or bottom, and the surroundings were vague. The golden-purple chains,posed of huge Mantra Scripts, were something Wang Weijun knew to be extremely abnormal. If his physical body hadn''t been lost, he would have confidence in reiming this Mantra Banner. Now, however, he could only be suppressed by the Mantra Banner to the point of near death.


    The most terrifying thing was the chains inside the Mantra Banner. Some of them would pass through his Elemental Infant. Wang Weijun was like a small bug on a spider web, firmly trapped in the center of the web. The Mantra Banner usually wouldn''t activate the chains, so he could go to the Heart Tower. But once the Mantra Banner was activated, he could only be dragged back without any resistance, with no way to break free.


    Wang Weijun suddenly thought that there must be a reason for the Mantra Banner to activate at this time. He just didn''t know what had triggered the Mantra Banner to activate at this moment, causing him to lose face in front of Mi Xiaojing.


    "Fortunately, I''m smart. The kid probably doesn''t understand what''s going on."


    Wang Weijun muttered to himself.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t even know that there was an Evolutionary Immortality treasure inside him. He hade to trust Wang Weijun, so when he said he was cultivating, he believed it was cultivation. It was just too sudden. He disappeared before he finished exining.


    What a strange old man!


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t withdraw his Divine Sense, but continued to watch the Heart Tower. The changes were too significant, and he wanted to see what these Mantra Chains were going to do.


    The Mantra once againbined with the text of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. This time was different from thest. It seemed that the Mantra Chains had be familiar with the ancient text and directly transformed into chains.


    Seven chains were formed in total. They didn''t retreat back into the Heart Tower, but slowly floated up and eventually began to rotate around the substitute puppet sitting on the Heart Tower.


    The rotation speed was extremely fast, forming traces like a whirlwind.Mi Xiaojing waspletely stunned, just staring nkly, unsure of what to do.


    Gradually, the seven ancient chains formed into a sphere, continuing to orbit around the substitute puppet, like seven stars flying. The color was different from the true-word chains, presenting a luxurious purple glow, forming streaks of afterimages, like meteors crossing the sky, leaving long purple trails behind.


    How beautiful!


    Mi Xiaojing watched in awe. He couldn''t do anything but observe this transformation. He knew in his heart that this was not something he had created.


    Wang Weijun was once again in a difficult situation. He found that the energy he had painstakingly umted was being drained again. The speed of the drain wasn''t fast this time, but it was still more than he could resist. Having suffered several major losses, Wang Weijun hade to understand that if he didn''t resist, the speed of the drain wouldn''t be fast. But if he did resist, the speed of the drain could cause him to copse.


    Frightened, Wang Weijun hurriedly began to cultivate. His only thought was not to repeat the losses ofst time. He couldn''t let his Elemental Infant hover on the edge of copse. That would truly be terrifying. To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 159: Retreat for six months

    <h4>Chapter 159: Retreat for six months</h4>


    As soon as Wang Weijun began his cultivation, the surrounding Spiritual Qi crazily surged into Mi Xiaojing''s body. In an instant, a breeze formed around Mi Xiaojing''s body, as if he was a bottomless pit, madly devouring the surrounding Spiritual Qi.


    Just as the Spiritual Qi in the cave was about to bepletely absorbed, suddenly, formations began to activate within the cave. One, two, three, a total of seven Gathering Spirit Arrays continuously activated, replenishing the previously scarce Spiritual Qi.


    In just a few moments, the Spiritual Qi in the cave condensed into liquid, transforming into a misty drizzle that fell down.


    Wang Weijun breathed a sigh of relief. He found that no matter how much Spiritual Qi he absorbed, the surrounding Spiritual Qi remained abundant, preventing him from beingpletely drained of energy by the Mantra Banner.


    Mi Xiaojing, however, was unaware of these changes. He was still staring intently at the heart tower, where seven clusters of ancient texts, like meteors, were gradually slowing down in their orbit.


    As their speed slowed, Mi Xiaojing could now clearly see the light clusters formed by these seven clusters of ancient texts.


    The light clusters gradually stretched out, and what happened next left Mi Xiaojing utterly astounded.


    The light clusters elongated and became rectangr, resembling the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    Seven Pill Scriptures!


    Mi Xiaojing was so shocked that he was at a loss for words. Was this a replication of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture? How could that be possible!


    Soon, Mi Xiaojing noticed the differences. These seven Pill Scriptures were all formed by ancient texts without a carrier. Compared to the real Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, there was still a significant difference. However, they already had the rudimentary form of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    It was as if on a transparent crystal, the purple ancient texts emitted a faint halo. Anything with a halo was a treasure. Although the halo was very weak, Mi Xiaojing understood that this was already considered a treasure.


    When the ancient texts formed the seven Pill Scriptures, the Spiritual Qi that had already turned into liquid seemed to have found an outlet, madly rushing into Mi Xiaojing''s body, heading straight for the seven Pill Scriptures.


    At this point, Wang Weijun couldn''t absorb even a trace of Spiritual Qi, which greatly frightened him. However, he quickly realized that although he couldn''t absorb any Spiritual Qi, the Mantra Chains were no longer draining his energy. He breathed a sigh of relief, but after a quick check on his Elemental Infant, he couldn''t help but curse.


    The true essence of his Elemental Infant, which he had painstakingly umted, had been consumed by more than half, almost reaching the brink of copse.


    This was truly disheartening!


    Even with seven Gathering Spirit Arrays, even with an underground spiritual spring, even with such abundant Spiritual Qi, in a very short time, the seven Pill Scriptures inside Mi Xiaojing''s body had absorbed all the Spiritual Qi. The subsequent Spiritual Qi was simply not enough.


    Wang Weijun suddenly realized that the Mantra Chains had started to absorb his true essence again. He was so scared that he didn''t know what to do. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t absorb any Spiritual Qi, and the true essence of his Elemental Infant was rapidly depleting.


    I''m done for!


    His Elemental Infant rapidly shrank, and in a moment, Wang Weijun looked much older. He looked around in despair, truly unwilling to ept this.


    Meanwhile, Mi Xiaojing also noticed something was wrong. The Starry Sky power within his body was madly rushing into the seven Pill Scriptures. Even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn''t, forcing him to start cultivating.


    Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing could absorb starlight anywhere. Even if he was hundreds of meters underground, it didn''t hinder his cultivation.


    This cultivation session was different from the previous ones. Mi Xiaojing waspletely immersed in it. Because the Pill Scriptures within his body were constantly drawing on the Starry Sky power, every time he transformed starlight into Starry Sky power, it would immediately disappear. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t even stay conscious, he could only continue cultivating.


    With the emergence of arge amount of Starry Sky power, the seven Pill Scriptures'' absorption of the surrounding Spiritual Qi weakened. Plus, Mi Xiaojing was absorbing starlight, not Spiritual Qi, which allowed the Spiritual Qi in the cave to slowly recover. The seven Gathering Spirit Arrays were functioning, and the spiritual spring was also spewing out Spiritual Qi.


    Wang Weijun was in a near-death state, thinking he was doomed. But just then, the Mantra Chains suddenly shook and stopped absorbing his true essence.


    Wang Weijun finally recovered a bit. Looking at his Elemental Infant that was on the verge of copse, he felt somewhat disheartened. This was too difficult.


    However, Wang Weijun quickly cheered up. A cultivator, especially one who could cultivate to the Unity Stage, was a tenacious individual. Even if they were momentarily disheartened, they wouldn''t truly give up. Cultivators inherently defied the heavens. If they gave up easily, they wouldn''t be true cultivation masters.


    After a bit of cultivation, Wang Weijun was overjoyed because the Spiritual Qi was back.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were both immersed in cultivation, and time passed unknowingly.


    Half a year passed in a blink!


    During this time, Yu Hong and Mo Chentian hade to visit. All four elders had visited, some even twice or thrice. But each time, Mi Xiaojing seemed like a dead man, covered in a thickyer of dust.


    Yu Hong and the others spected that Mi Xiaojing must have entered some kind of state, but they didn''t know the real changes in Mi Xiaojing.


    In fact, with Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level, he shouldn''t have been able to seclude himself for so long. Even though he was already at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he couldn''t go without food or drink for a long time. The reason he could hold on until now was mainly because Wang Weijun was cultivating, and therge amount of Spiritual Qi nourishing his body allowed him to sustain for a long time without affecting his cultivation.


    After half a year of seclusion, without eating or drinking, Mi Xiaojing unknowingly advanced to thete stage of Foundation Establishment, almost reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. This speed was simply terrifying.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was unaware of all this. Once immersed in a certain unknown state, cultivators lose their sense of time. To them, it''s just a moment.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. This state was not easy for cultivators to achieve. It required not only opportunity and luck but also the right timing. Only when all conditions coincided could they seed.


    Wang Weijun didn''t disturb Mi Xiaojing either. He was also having a hard time. The Mantra Banner would asionally drain his true essence, and each time it would only stop when his Elemental Infant was about to copse, forcing him to cultivate desperately.


    It wasn''t until two months had passed that the Mantra Banner stopped absorbing his energy, finally giving Wang Weijun four months of his own cultivation time. He slowly recovered and even managed to strengthen his true essence a bit.However, the idea of improving one''s cultivation level was almost an impossible task.


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, thinking that only a few hours had passed. As he tried to stand up, he suddenly felt his entire body stiffen.


    The power of the Starry Sky circted throughout his body, causing his joints to crackle until he felt slightly better. Mi Xiaojing pushed himself off the ground and finally managed to stand up, only then did he realize something was wrong. To be continued.

 Chapter 160: Reproduce the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture

    <h4>Chapter 160: Reproduce the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture</h4>


    The ground and his body were covered in dust. When Mi Xiaojing stood up, the dust fluttered up, covering the stone tform in ayer of gray. He waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept up the dust. He couldn''t help but exim in surprise, "This... this is strange, why is there so much dust..."


    Then he realized, "How long have I been sitting here?"


    Wang Weijun replied weakly, "Not long, just half a year."


    Mi Xiaojing was almost scared to death, "Don''t talk nonsense, I feel like it''s only been a few hours..."


    "You fool, that''s true meditation. If a person has a high cultivation level, they can meditate for several years or even more than a decade. This state is something others can''t even beg for."


    "I''m done for, I haven''t been home for half a year, what about my family?"


    Wang Weijun said, "You should first consolidate your cultivation level. Kid, you''ve gained a lot from this half-year of seclusion."


    Mi Xiaojing checked as instructed, and he was also amazed, "Ah? Late Foundation Establishment stage? I''ve advanced!"


    "If your seclusion hadsted a bit longer, reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment wouldn''t be surprising. It''s a pity, if it weren''t for other reasons, your cultivation level would definitely not stop here."


    The so-called other reason was actually very simple. The Mantra Banner had absorbed his Starry Sky power. If it weren''t for the Mantra Banner absorbing arge amount of Mi Xiaojing''s Starry Sky power, advancing to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment would have been effortless.


    Even though he was anxious, Mi Xiaojing tried to calm down. After all, consolidating his current realm wouldn''t take much time.


    It only took half an hour for Mi Xiaojing to consolidate histe Foundation Establishment stage. He found that he was just a little bit away from advancing to the Great Perfection stage.


    Mi Xiaojing secretly regretted it. He clearly knew that once he reached Foundation Establishment, his Starry Sky power would transform into true Starry Sky power, and its power would increase exponentially.


    Finally, Mi Xiaojing sank his Divine Sense into his Dan Tian. He was still thinking about the text of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, wondering what it looked like now.


    When his Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian, Mi Xiaojing was also shocked.


    Because he saw a new Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture appear. The seven Pill Scriptures were almost identical to the ones Yu Hong had brought out. Of course, upon closer inspection, there were still some differences from the real Pill Scriptures.


    The seven Pill Scriptures were not like what he had seen before. The seven Pill Scriptures he had seen before were like screens, foldable. But now, the seven Pill Scriptures were scattered.


    The seven Pill Scriptures were dazzling, revolving around the substitute puppet. Mi Xiaojing watched in surprise, not understanding how the Pill Scriptures had been duplicated.


    Wang Weijun also emerged from the Heart Tower. His body was extremely small, but every detail was exquisitely detailed. With the green robe and white beard, the substitute puppet next to him looked like a giant statue. He looked up at the floating and rotating Pill Scriptures, equally shocked.


    With Wang Weijun''s years of cultivation, he had never known that Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation could appear in such abination.


    The Heart Tower was already quiteplex. He didn''t know if the substitute puppet formed by the Mantra could really substitute for death. It sat on the Heart Tower, with the seven Pill Scriptures floating and rotating around it. Above it hung the Magical Sword, standing straight with the tip pointing at the top of the substitute puppet''s head, also rotating around the tip of the sword.


    Next to the substitute puppet stood a very small and exquisite old man. This scene also made Mi Xiaojing feel intoxicated. Apart from the Magical Sword, everything else was not his own creation. Fortunately, the Dan Tian seemed veryrge, like a world, with no visible boundaries, because it was surrounded by darkness.


    As his Divine Sense approached one of the Pill Scriptures, Mi Xiaojing found that the closer he got, therger the ancient characters became, and the greater the shock they gave him.


    The ancient characters were actually derived from the ancient immortal characters, which inherently carried a certain immortal intent and could form a certain will and power. When his Divine Sense was near, it would be affected in some way.


    Mi Xiaojing strangely found that his Divine Sense seemed to be growing stronger. Although it was only a slight growth, he still keenly noticed it.


    Divine Sense was almost impossible to cultivate. The growth of Divine Sense depended on advancement. Each time he advanced, his Divine Sense would grow a bit. Mi Xiaojing had never expected that observing the Pill Scriptures with his Divine Sense would have this benefit.


    Understanding the words in a text was far from enough, one also needed to understand the content. Mi Xiaojing hadn''t expected that he wouldn''t understand the content, but could benefit from the text, which could nurture and strengthen his Divine Sense. This surprise made him very happy, at least he had gained something.


    Wang Weijun was almost lying on the Heart Tower, because he couldn''t leave the Heart Tower, and even his Divine Sense couldn''t leave. He could only move on the Heart Tower. If he dared to leave the Heart Tower, the Mantra Banner would immediately show him its power. He had already understood this after many experiments.


    Lying on his back, Wang Weijun could see the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. Because the Pill Scripture was revolving around the substitute puppet, he could only see the content of one Pill Scripture at a time, and the viewing time did not exceed a few seconds. This made it very difficult for him to read, unlike Mi Xiaojing who could use his Divine Sense to inspect it, which was not so strenuous.


    Even for a rare treasure like the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, Wang Weijun also had a devout heart.


    Any knowledge passed down from ancient times was a treasure in the Cultivation World. Every cultivator would study and understand it with a devout and respectful heart.


    Both the righteous and the evil were the same in this respect.Wang Weijun stared intently, his heart even more shocked. The ability to duplicate ssics was astounding. Although the duplicated Pill Scripture had a significant gappared to the real Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, there was one terrifying aspect: this Pill Scripture perfectly reproduced the content of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    Even if he could never see the real Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture again, possessing this current Pill Scripture gave Wang Weijun great confidence in fullyprehending its content.


    It should be known that even Wang Weijun found the Pill Scripture baffling at first, struggling to understand its meaning. However, after the trantion of the true words, he could easily decipher it. Once any ancient text was partially deciphered, fully understanding the entire content was just a matter of time.


    Mi Xiaojing only nced at the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture for a moment before his Divine Sense left his Dan Tian. He couldn''t afford to dy any longer. He had been away from home for more than half a year, and he was very anxious.


    Mi Xiaojing was eager to leave this ce. At the very least, he needed to know if his family was in danger.


    Mi Xiaojing stood up and stepped onto the small teleportation array. With a wave of a Magical Technique, he returned to the loft where he had entered. He immediately saw a person sitting cross-legged not far away.


    Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing appear, a smile appeared on Yong Ji''s face. He was ordered to stay here, specifically to wait for Mi Xiaojing''s appearance.


    "Have you finished your retreat?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Thank you, Elder Yong, for your protection." This was something he had to express his gratitude for. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 161: Go home

    <h4>Chapter 161: Go home</h4>


    Yong Ji nodded in satisfaction. Although the task of guarding was assigned by his master, if Mi Xiaojing didn''t even utter a word of thanks, he wouldn''t feel pleased.


    "You can go back and rest first, then you can start alchemy. Regardless of sess or failure, you have to give it a try."


    Mi Xiaojing agreed. Apanied by Yong Ji, the two walked out of the sect''s main hall together. Yong Ji escorted Mi Xiaojing to the entrance of Gathering Spring Courtyard before saying, "During this period, I will stay with you. Arrange a room for me in the courtyard."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, then agreed, "Alright." Who wouldn''t want a free bodyguard?


    Just then, Zhang Ke came out, holding a bamboo basket in his hand. Seeing Mi Xiaojing, his hand trembled involuntarily, and the basket fell to the ground. He said, "You''re back?" His voice trembled. The past half year had been extremely tormenting. Under his restraint, everyone had been staying at home, not daring to go anywhere.


    Zhang Ke''s voice was loud, immediately rming Mu Xiaoyin. She screamed and ran out of her room, "Ah, junior brother is back!"


    This voice was even louder, directly rming the few little ones practicing in the backyard. Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu immediately ran out and surrounded Mi Xiaojing.


    Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyin saw Yong Ji and immediately fell silent.


    "Brother Xiao Mi, where have you been? You''ve been gone for so long!"


    "Yeah, yeah, we thought you didn''t want us anymore!"


    Amidst the mor, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh, "It''s okay, it''s okay, I was just in seclusion. I''m out now, right? How is everyone''s cultivation going?"


    Luo Bo said, "Everyone has made great progress, but we''re running out of elixirs!"


    Zhang Ke added, "They''ve been very diligent in their cultivation, spending most of their time in the backyard. The rest of the time, they''re practicingbat or learning other skills. I''ve been keeping an eye on them."


    Mao Tou raised his hand, "I''ve made progress too, I''ve made progress too!"


    Mi Xiaojing patted his little head andughed, "Good, I know, keep up the good work!"


    Encouraged, Mao Tou''s face turned red with excitement, and he grinned happily. This home was supported by Mi Xiaojing. The children trusted and admired him immensely. A word of praise from him could make them happy for several days.


    "Everyone is doing well and working hard in their cultivation. Don''t ck off. Cultivation is a matter of perseverance, you must persist every day."


    Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Mi Xiaojing encouraged them again.


    "This is Senior Yong Ji, everyonee and greet him!"


    Zhang Ke and the others stepped forward to pay their respects. Yong Ji didn''t put on any airs, he nodded and said, "Good." Then he turned to Mi Xiaojing, "Just arrange a room for me, no need to go to any trouble."


    Mi Xiaojing immediately asked Zhang Ke to arrange it, "Arrange a room for senior, don''t worry about anything else."


    Zhang Ke said, "Alright, senior, please follow me." He led Yong Ji away. The Gathering Spring Courtyard wasrge to begin with, and after the original servants and guards left, many rooms were vacated.


    After a while, Zhang Ke came back and said, "It''s arranged."


    Mu Xiaoyin whispered, "Why is he staying here with us?"


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled, "What''s wrong?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "He''s an elder of the Sword Heart Hall, he holds a very high position in the sect. Moreover, he''s the disciple of Elder Yu, and it''s said that hisbat power is extremely strong, his cultivation level is much higher than that of Old Chen."


    Mi Xiaojing knew that Yong Ji''s cultivation level was high, but he didn''t know about his position in the sect. He didn''t expect him to have such an impressive identity.


    The Sword Heart Hall held a very high position in the Sword Heart Sect, it was the number one hall of the sect. The cultivators in it were all capable fighters, all of them outstanding inbat.


    The Sword Heart Sect''s external battles were all coordinated by the Sword Heart Hall. For example, when they destroyed the Western Evolutionary Sect, it was the Sword Heart Hall that served as the main force, sending out two Foundation Establishment early-stage experts, along with a group of cultivators, to cleanly wipe out the small Evolutionary Sect like the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was not aware of all this.


    No wonder Mu Xiaoyin was somewhat fearful of Yong Ji. In the Sword Heart Sect, there was no one who wasn''t afraid of the Sword Heart Hall.


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "He''s one of the core disciples being cultivated by the sect for the next generation."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, but he didn''t take it to heart. As long as it wasn''t detrimental to him or his family, he couldn''t be bothered. Moreover, it was clear that Yong Ji was here to protect him.


    He had a hunch that the sect might have guessed Chen Shouyi''s intentions, otherwise they wouldn''t have sent an elder from the Sword Heart Hall to protect him.


    Mi Xiaojingughed, "Senior sister, let''s not worry about this. We''ll just carry on as usual. Elder Yong won''t interfere with us."


    Mu Xiaoyin was shocked. She didn''t know why the sect valued Mi Xiaojing so much. It was the first time she had heard of a Foundation Establishment cultivator being followed by a Foundation Establishment elder. It was quite frightening.With everything at home in order, Mi Xiaojing finally rxed. He didn''t know when it started, but he hade to consider Zhang Ke and these children as his own family. Perhaps because he had no family or parents since childhood, Mi Xiaojing yearned for familial affection. With these younger brothers and Mu Xiaoyin as his senior sister, he found sce. Seeing them brought him immense peace and joy.


    This state of mind was the best for those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality. Unlike Cultivators, who were engaged in fiercepetition and battles, those on the path of Evolutionary Immortality needed a tranquil environment and a peaceful state of mind for effective cultivation.


    Mu Xiaoyin was a prime example. Ever since she started her journey towards Evolutionary Immortality, she had be noticeably gentler. She used to be restless, running around all the time, but now she spent most of her time in her room, diligently cultivating. Her cultivation level was advancing rapidly, earning her Zhang Ke''s admiration.


    After staying at the Gathering Spring Vi for two days, Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were constantly discussing, mainly about the possibility of refining the Divine Pill.


    The biggest problem in refining the Divine Pill was Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level. His cultivation level was not high enough, and there were several hurdles he couldn''t ovee. The first was the control of earth fire, and the second was the Condensing Elixir and collecting the elixir, especially the Condensing Elixir. With his current cultivation level, it was simply an insurmountable threshold, far too distant.


    The opportunity to condense the elixir was a sudden moment in the process of alchemy, and it was difficult for others to take over. If this hurdle couldn''t be ovee, everything else was in vain.


    After discussing for two days, they still couldn''t find a solution. Wang Weijun was also helpless. If Mi Xiaojing''s strength was sufficient, he could solve it somehow. But now, even he was at a loss.


    In the end, Mi Xiaojing figured it out. He said, "Even if we can''t refine it, it doesn''t matter. As long as we can convince the head elder of our sect that I will eventually be able to refine the Divine Pill one day, that''s enough." To be continued.

 Chapter 162: Mi Xiaojings potential

    <h4>Chapter 162: Mi Xiaojing''s potential</h4>


    Wang Weijun thought about it and agreed. Both of them were overthinking. The refining of the Divine Pill had nothing to do with Mi Xiaojing. Even if it was sessfully refined, the Spirit Pill would not be given to Mi Xiaojing.


    The reason why the elders let Mi Xiaojing try alchemy was out of a fluke mentality, hoping to obtain the Divine Pill. Of course, it didn''t matter if they couldn''t get the Spirit Pill. As long as they saw Mi Xiaojing''s potential, it would be considered a sess.


    Understanding this, Mi Xiaojing said, "Then I''ll try alchemy. I''ll go talk to Yong Ji."


    Wang Weijun nodded and said, "Alright, be careful. Those guys are quite powerful."


    Mi Xiaojing went to the front yard and found Zhang Ke. He said, "I''m going to refine pills. Watch the house and don''t go out for now. I should be back soon."


    Zhang Ke said, "Don''t worry, Xiaojing. I''ll take care of everything."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m going to find Elder Yong Ji. We''ll go to the Pill Room together."


    Zhang Ke said, "I''ll go inform them."


    Yong Ji had alreadye out of his room. With his cultivation level, he could sense any movement. Hearing the conversation, he came out of his room and smiled, "Going to refine pills?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "I''ll give it a try. I don''t know what will happen." He didn''t have any confidence in his heart. With his cultivation level, it would be really difficult to ovee the challenges.


    Yong Ji was overjoyed. He knew some inside information and understood how difficult it was to refine the Divine Pill. He said, "Wait a moment, I''ll inform the master." He quickly sent out a paper owl with the message.


    The two of them then left, flying towards the Grass-Benevolence Hall on Qingmu Peak.


    The speed of sword flight was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, theynded in front of the huge cave where the alchemy was conducted. There were still low-level cultivators guarding the entrance. Seeing them, and noticing Yong Ji''s attire, they immediately knew his high status and quickly bowed in respect.


    Mi Xiaojing recognized these low-level cultivators guarding the entrance. When they saw Mi Xiaojing, they also showed respect. However, Mi Xiaojing knew that in their hearts, they were not only respectful, but also envious and jealous.


    Yong Ji, with an expressionless face, didn''t respond to the low-level cultivators. He gestured for Mi Xiaojing to go in first. The low-level cultivators were shocked. The Foundation Establishment Ancestor was actually letting Mi Xiaojing go first. What kind of etiquette was this?


    And Mi Xiaojing didn''t refuse, he just walked in.


    Not long after the two of them entered, another personnded at the entrance. The cultivators guarding the entrance immediately knelt down. Kneeling was not a cultivator''s etiquette, but the aura of the person whonded was too overwhelming, and the cultivators guarding the entrance couldn''t resist.


    This person was Mo Chentian, the Sect Leader, a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage.


    The cultivators guarding the entrance watched as Mo Chentian disappeared into the cave entrance, each of them feeling a lingering fear. Before they could stand up, two more people descended from the sky.


    Thud! They knelt again.


    This time, it was the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden and Mu Hengyuan. The cultivators guarding the entrance were shocked, wondering why all the elders of the sect hade.


    Thest to arrive was Elder Yu Hong. The cultivators guarding the entrance simply didn''t get up, they just knelt there. Their legs were weak, they couldn''t stand.


    It was only after the four Elemental Infant stage elders had been inside for a long time that the cultivators managed to stand up in a disheveled manner. Their faces were pale. One of them whispered, "That was scary. Why couldn''t I stand?"


    "Idiot, of course you couldn''t stand. Those are the most powerful elders of our sect. One look from them could kill you."


    "Is something going to happen today?"


    "Stop talking nonsense. We just need to guard the entrance. We can''t ask about anything else."


    Yu Hong and the others quickly arrived at the alchemy hall deep within the cave. After entering, Yu Hong immediately set up a restriction to prevent outsiders from disturbing them. Then they entered the alchemy hall.


    Four Elemental Infant stage elders, plus ate-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yong Ji, were standing in the alchemy hall. The pressure was immense. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Are the materials ready?"


    Yu Hong said, "They''re ready, but there aren''t many."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m just trying it out. There are two key points that I can''t solve and need your help."


    Yu Hong said, "Just say it, we''ll support you with all our strength."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There are two points that need support. One is the control of the earth fire, and the other is the control during the condensing and foundation establishment of the elixir. My cultivation level is not enough to handle these two steps. If I force it, the failure rate is almost 100%."


    The faces of the four elders showed shock. Even the usually cold Azure Descent Immortal Maiden couldn''t help but say, "So, if your cultivation level was sufficient, you would be confident in refining the Divine Pill?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "If my cultivation level was sufficient, I should be able to refine the Divine Pill."


    Yu Hong said, "If I didn''t know your true nature, I would think you were a reincarnated alchemy master. It''s incredible. Alright, tell us what you need us to do."


    The method Mi Xiaojing was using to refine the Divine Pill was not from the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, but another method given to him by Wang Weijun.


    If he used the method recorded in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, the quality of the Divine Pill would be much higher. Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t understand it.


    Although there was a difference in the two alchemy methods, it didn''t stop Mi Xiaojing from boasting. He now understood that only by showing his value would others value him. Otherwise, he would be ignored like the cultivators guarding the entrance of the alchemy hall.


    Mi Xiaojing exined the steps of alchemy in detail. The four Elemental Infant stage elders couldn''t help but frown. It was not only extremelyplex, but also required meticulous control. Among the four of them, only Mu Hengyuan could barely give it a try. The others simply couldn''t.


    After asking a few more details, Mu Hengyuan sighed and said, "I can only give it a try. It''s really difficult."


    Yu Hong said, "No matter how difficult, we have to try. Whether we seed or not, we won''t be satisfied if we don''t try!"


    He didn''t me Mi Xiaojing. The idea of a Foundation Establishment cultivator trying to refine a Divine Pill, which was used by Elemental Infant cultivators, was a joke in itself.Yu Hong and the others had a clear understanding in their hearts. Foundation Establishment stage was just that, even if Mi Xiaojing had recently reached thete stage of Foundation Establishment, it was impossible for him to reach the level of refining the Divine Pill. The fact that he could perform to this extent already demonstrated the boy''s potential.


    Mi Xiaojing''s potential was something they all highly admired. His talent andprehension were absolutely the treasures of the sect, making him the most worthy seed elite to cultivate.


    Therefore, whether he failed or seeded was no longer that important. The most important thing was to let Mi Xiaojing grow.


    Once Mi Xiaojing grew up, he would be the pir of the sect, capable of supporting the entire sect. If the sect didn''t cultivate such a person, who would?

 Chapter 163: Preparation stage

    <h4>Chapter 163: Preparation stage</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was once a minor cultivator of the Western Evolutionary Sect, a fact they were all well aware of. However, they didn''t take it seriously.


    They were confident that the world of Evolutionary Immortality and that of Cultivation werepletely different. The former was much more challenging, and as a child, they believed that Mi Xiaojing would make the right choice.


    The world of Cultivators was where Mi Xiaojing truly belonged.


    Mu Hengyuan sat on a rush cushion, carefully considering how to cooperate. Fortunately, he had previously worked with Chen Shouyi to refine the Profit and Loss Pill. Although they were unsessful, he gained a lot of experience and lessons.


    Mi Xiaojing exined in great detail, as if he had refined the Divine Grain Pill before, which was incredible. All four of them had confirmed that Mi Xiaojing was neither reincarnated nor possessed by someone else. He was a standard mortal who had reached his current level through cultivation. His talent and potential were so impressive that they were all amazed.


    After testing Mi Xiaojing''s potential with the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, Yu Hong did not hesitate to send Yong Ji to protect Mi Xiaojing. He was aware of what was happening in the sect, but he needed unity, especially when the Vast Gold Sect was constantly harassing and attacking them. The sect needed stability, so any conflicts had to be suppressed.


    The materials for the Divine Grain Pill were hard to gather. After scouring the entire sect''s storage, adding the collections of several Elemental Infant elders, and exchanging materials from various markets, they only managed to gather seven sets. Some of them were only recentlypleted.


    This time, they gave Mi Xiaojing threeplete sets of materials. In other words, if Mi Xiaojing could really refine the Divine Grain Pill, and achieve a 100% sess rate, then three Divine Grain Pills should be produced.


    Of course, this was just a hypothesis. These three sets of materials were just for Mi Xiaojing to practice. They didn''t expect him to seed. The four Elemental Infant elders had a simple idea: use three sets of materials to test Mi Xiaojing''s real skill. If there was hope for sess, but his cultivation level was not enough to refine the pill, it would prove that he could seed in the future as long as they helped Mi Xiaojing improve his cultivation level.


    One day, Mi Xiaojing would have the cultivation level and strength to refine the Divine Grain Pill. Although alchemy was difficult, improving one''s strength was not too hard. This was their real goal.


    Mu Hengyuan and Mi Xiaojing kept discussing. Even though he knew it was difficult to refine the Spirit Pill, he didn''t rx at any step. As a cultivator of Mu Hengyuan''s level, he was seriously discussing with a low-level cultivator like Mi Xiaojing. It was clear how much he valued the Divine Grain Pill.


    The two of them discussed back and forth, revisiting each issue several times. During this, Mi Xiaojing also discussed a few points with Wang Weijun. Of course, even Mu Hengyuan, a high-level Elemental Infant, didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing was alsomunicating with another super expert.


    Yu Hong and the others sat on the side listening without interrupting. Although they were not good at alchemy, their knowledge was notcking.


    What shocked the three of them was that Mi Xiaojing was not at all inferior in his discussion with Mu Hengyuan. His broad knowledge and logical speech were simply incredible.


    Mu Hengyuan was equally shocked. The more they discussed, the more he regarded Mi Xiaojing as an equal. This kid was simply a freak. How could he know so much?


    If Chen Shouyi werepared with Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi would be nothing. In terms of cultivation level, Chen Shouyi definitely surpassed Mi Xiaojing, but in terms of alchemy, Mi Xiaojing was far ahead.


    The more Yu Hong and the others listened, the more shocked they were. But they were also ecstatic. Having such a genius in their sect was like a dream. They could almost foresee that with such a Pill Master, the Heart Sect could develop greatly if nothing unexpected happened.


    They checked the details over and over again, and neither Mi Xiaojing nor Mu Hengyuan showed any impatience. They just wanted to cooperate well when refining the pill. If they could really reach a level of tacit understanding, they might be able to refine the Divine Grain Pill with the three sets of materials.


    Then it was Mu Hengyuan''s turn to assist Mi Xiaojing in processing the materials. Many materials couldn''t be used immediately and had to be processed. When Mi Xiaojing started processing the materials under Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mu Hengyuan truly realized the gap. Many of Mi Xiaojing''s methods were ones he had never seen before.


    His rare and profound magical techniques and incantations processed the materials quickly and well. For some materials, because Mi Xiaojing''s strength and cultivation level were not enough, Mu Hengyuan had to do it himself. At this time, Mi Xiaojing showed another talent: when teaching, he spoke clearly and concisely, exining each step clearly, making it easy for Mu Hengyuan to understand.


    This credit actually belonged to Wang Weijun. With his previous cultivation level at the Unity stage, his understanding of these matters was beyond theprehension of an Elemental Infant cultivator. Every word he said shocked Mu Hengyuan.


    Such exnations were clear, easy to understand, and hit the core. Even Yu Hong and the others could understand. Without deep understanding, such words could not be spoken.


    Yu Hong and the others were extremely impressed. Mi Xiaojing was just a cultivator in thete Foundation Establishment stage. If he grew up, what heights could he reach?


    Yu Hong sent a message to Mo Chentian: "This kid is a genius. The sect must protect him!"


    Mo Chentian slowly nodded and replied: "Yes, I didn''t expect this little guy to give us such a surprise."


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden also joined the discussion: "It seems... there''s hope for sess?"


    Yu Hong shook his head: "It''s not that easy. But, I see hope, real hope!"


    Yu Hong was very excited. He was a cultivator in thete Elemental Infant stage, just one step away from Great Perfection. Once he reached the Great Perfection stage, the importance of the Divine Grain Pill to him would be paramount.


    Reaching the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant was not difficult for Yu Hong, but he was not confident about advancing further. However, with the Divine Grain Pill, the difficulty would be greatly reduced, and he would see hope for advancement. This matter was very important to him, so how could he not take it seriously?


    Some of the materials were processed by Mu Hengyuan under Mi Xiaojing''s guidance, and some were processed by Mi Xiaojing himself. Just processing the materials took two days.During this period, except for Mo Chentian who had gone out a few times, everyone else sat by and watched. After all, Mo Chentian was the Sect Leader, and there were many matters that he had to handle.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Senior, shall we start the alchemy?"


    Mu Hengyuan nodded and said, "Alright, let''s refine the first batch of pills and see how the coordination goes."


    Yu Hong and the others also perked up, feeling an indescribable anticipation in their hearts. Perhaps it was because the two of them had been so serious before, giving a sense of reliability, which made Yu Hong and the others feel that maybe they could really seed?


    Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may your family be full of happiness and joy. Old Xiao is here to give gifts¡ª


    Up to this day, thank you all for yourpanionship, support, and love along the way. I have no way to repay...cough cough, today, I will try to update as much as possible! (To be continued.)

 Chapter 164: Shortcoming

    <h4>Chapter 164: Shoring</h4>


    Mu Hengyuan once again exined to Mi Xiaojing about the Fire Spirit Formation in the Alchemy Hall, which was used to control the fire of the Pill Cauldron. With Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level, he could barely mobilize it, but for truly meticulous control, Mu Hengyuan''s help was still needed.


    Mi Xiaojing stood at the main alchemy position, with Mu Hengyuan standing at an auxiliary position. At this moment, Yu Hong tossed out a jade pendant, saying, "Wear it on your belt, it can inste heat."


    Mu Hengyuan nodded and said, "Put it on. I''ll adjust the temperature of the earth fire. Your cultivation level can''t withstand this temperature."


    Mi Xiaojing had been worried about this issue, but he didn''t expect Yu Hong to provide a defensive artifact directly. This jade pendant didn''t require a magical technique to activate. As long as the temperature rose to a certain level, its defense would automatically activate. It was a pretty good treasure for assisting in alchemy.


    Without saying thanks, Mi Xiaojing tied the jade pendant to his belt and then began to activate the fire control formation.


    Since everyone present was a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage with profound cultivation levels, the heat instion formation outside the Pill Furnace was not activated. This level of heat was not a threat to Elemental Infant stage cultivators at all.


    With Mu Hengyuan''s assistance, the fire control formation was activated instantly. The entire ground lit up, countless spirit patterns flickered, and it seemed as if countless fire snakes were extending on the ground.


    Only about ten seconds passed, and the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly. Mi Xiaojing was very clear about the abnormality of the earth fire temperature, so he quickly covered his body with the power of the Starry Sky.


    .


    Before Mi Xiaojing couldn''t bear it, the defense of the jade pendant was activated. A greenish cover enveloped him, instantly isting the heat wave. If a Qi Refining cultivator were here, they would be roasted alive, unable to resist at all.


    Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy technique came from Wang Weijun''s inheritance. His methods were still quite far from those recorded in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. If he used the methods in the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, the refining of the Nurturing Infant Pill would be much simpler.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand this method, but Wang Weijun could understand some of it. When he exined it to him, Mi Xiaojing was filled with emotion.


    Mi Xiaojing began to control the fire control formation, with Mu Hengyuan assisting on the side. At this time, the gap in their cultivation levels was evident. Mu Hengyuan sat directly on the ground, while Mi Xiaojing had to stand, even with the defense provided by the jade pendant, he didn''t dare to sit down.


    As the earth fire rose, the spirit patterns on the gourd-shaped Pill Cauldron also began to flicker. The preheating of the Pill Cauldron was quicklypleted by the two of them.


    The entire cave was filled with flickering red light, heat waves surged, and the air became distorted due to the heat flow. The booming sound of the earth fire was deafening. The fire control formation was running at full power, and the temperature of the earth fire mes doubled. Mi Xiaojing felt a sense of fear.


    He cast one magical technique after another. As the magical techniques were cast, the incantations followed. Mu Hengyuan watched Mi Xiaojing nervously. He had to seamlessly connect before Mi Xiaojing lost control. There could be no negligence. If he couldn''t continue, all the previous efforts would be wasted.


    For their first cooperation, since both of them were fully focused, there were no problems. Mi Xiaojing finally began to put in the materials and started theplex preliminary preparations. The materials in the Pill Cauldron also underwent a purification process. This process was notpleted by the mes, but by the spirit patterns in the Pill Cauldron.


    This process was quiteplicated. Not only did Mi Xiaojing need to control it through magical techniques and incantations, but he also needed to adjust it with his Divine Sense and the power of the Starry Sky. In just a short while, Mi Xiaojing felt overwhelmed.


    At this point, Mu Hengyuan had to take over. Mi Xiaojing shouted, "Good!" This was the signal they had agreed upon. Once Mi Xiaojing said "good", Mu Hengyuan would immediately take over.


    Mi Xiaojing stood to recover his Starry Sky power. The Spiritual Qi here was quite dense. Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t use Spiritual Qi for cultivation. On the surface, he held a Spirit Stone in his hand, but in reality, he was absorbing starlight.


    Mi Xiaojing managed to deceive everyone present with this move. Yu Hong and the others didn''t realize that what he was absorbing was not Spiritual Qi, but starlight.


    After a brief cultivation, he converted the absorbed starlight into the power of the Starry Sky. This process was much faster than absorbing Spiritual Qi. In just a few minutes, Mi Xiaojing''s nearly exhausted Starry Sky power had recovered a great deal.


    The characteristic of the Starry Sky power was just like this, slow to consume, and quick to recover. Since Mi Xiaojing was refining a Spirit Pill beyond his level, this kind of consumption waspletely unbearable for him. If it weren''t for Mu Hengyuan''s help, he wouldn''t be able to continue at all.


    This was different from refining the Nurturing Infant Pill. Both were Spirit Pills used in the Elemental Infant stage, one was for the early stage, and the other was for the Great Perfection stage. The difference in levels between the two was too great.


    When he really started to refine the Nurturing Infant Pill, Mi Xiaojing understood in his heart that the possibility of sess was too small. Even with Mu Hengyuan''s help, there was almost no chance of sess. However, since he hade this far, he could only grit his teeth and persist. Even if he couldn''t seed, he would at least gain valuable experience.


    For a full four days, the refining of this batch of pills did not fail halfway. Itsted for four days, but by the time it was about to produce the pills, Mi Xiaojing was already exhausted, his Divine Sense was depleted. The fact that he could hold on until now not only shocked Mu Hengyuan but also the other three Elemental Infant stage elders.


    However, as time passed, the other elders began to look forward to it, except for Mu Hengyuan.


    Mi Xiaojing could no longer control the fire control formation. Now it was basically Mu Hengyuan who was in control. The most critical issue was that Mi Xiaojing could not control the condensation of the pills in the Pill Cauldron. He was sweating profusely, and his eyes were starting to blur.


    At this moment, Mi Xiaojing realized a very important problem. The Spirit Pills he refined all contained Spiritual Qi, but none of them could replenish the Starry Sky power. This was a serious problem. If he could replenish the Starry Sky power, he wouldn''t be in such a sorry state.


    Condensing Elixir!Mi Xiaojing reluctantly gave up his position. He simply didn''t have the ability to condense the elixir. This process had to be carried out by Mu Hengyuan. Unfortunately, although Mu Hengyuan was powerful, he was far behind Mi Xiaojing in the path of alchemy.


    Mu Hengyuan''s face was pale. He knew the importance of this step, but he really had no confidence. He and Mi Xiaojing had discussed the process of condensing the elixir for a long time, and every detail was clear. But this was useless, knowing did not mean being able to do it.


    Everyone understood this principle, but things had already reached this point. The stumbling and bumbling process of condensing the elixir could not be abandoned no matter what.


    Mi Xiaojing had done his best. Whether it was Yu Hong and Mo Chentian, or the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden and Mu Hengyuan, they all understood clearly.


    Mu Hengyuan did his utmost. He knew that if he could seed by luck, there would at least be a lower-grade Divine Pill. With Mu Hengyuan''s cultivation level, there were very few things that could shake his mind, but at this moment, he couldn''t help but have his heart beat faster.


    Everyone was staring at Mu Hengyuan, even if Mi Xiaojing was exhausted, he was still staring intently. If they could seed, it would mean that the Heart Sect had the ability to refine a truly high-level Spirit Pill.


    ...

 Chapter 165: Mu Hengyuan and Mu Xiaoyin

    <h4>Chapter 165: Mu Hengyuan and Mu Xiaoyin</h4>


    Mu Hengyuan was also drenched in sweat, not from heat, but from nervousness. With his cultivation level, sweating was almost impossible, this was the result of mental shock.


    Mi Xiaojing kept giving instructions non-stop. Since everyone was very nervous, no one found this abnormal. It should be known that Mi Xiaojing was only a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he could guide a master at the Elemental Infant stage. If this was spread out, I''m afraid no one would believe it.


    Even if Mi Xiaojing exined in great detail, Mu Hengyuan still failed in condensing the elixir. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t figure out where the problem was. He only heard a loud bang, the Divine Pill exploded before it could condense, and a burnt fragrance spread out in an instant.


    Frustrated, Mu Hengyuan shouted, "Damn it!"


    Yu Hong said, "Junior brother, you''ve done very well."


    Indeed, it was very good. No one had expected that the first attempt at refining the Divine Pill could reach the stage of condensing the elixir. This progress was absolutely satisfying.


    Mu Hengyuan wiped his face forcefully, calmed down a bit, and said, "What a pity, such a pity."


    .


    Yu Hong said, "If there''s a high possibility of sess in this step, rest for a few days and try again!"


    Mu Hengyuan didn''t speak, but closed his eyes in deep thought. Everyone was nervously watching him. The key to sess had shifted from Mi Xiaojing to Mu Hengyuan.


    After a while, Mu Hengyuan sighed deeply, "I''ve thought about it. Unless I have the experience of failing several times, or even more than a dozen times, there might be a slim chance of sess. The cost is too high, we can''t afford it!"


    Among the materials for the Divine Pill, some spirit herbs were very rare. It was not easy to gather aplete set. They didn''t have many materials for refining. Once exhausted, even if he could condense the elixir, it would be useless without materials. This was also the reason why Mu Hengyuan dared not try.


    Everyone sighed after hearing this. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden asked, "Is this step so difficult? Mi Xiaojing, if your cultivation level is high enough, can youplete this step?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "If my cultivation level is high enough, there should be no problem. With the materials gathered by the sect, I think I should be able to seed once or twice."


    He didn''t dare to say more, but after this alchemy, he had a rough idea. Although the Divine Pill was extremelyplex, if his cultivation level improved, and he was careful and meticulous, the chances of sess would be quite high.


    Yu Hong stood up and said, "Let''s store the materials first and wait until Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level increases. Indeed, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and refining a Spirit Pill of the Elemental Infant stage is too forced. We have enough time to wait for him to grow."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "Yes, there''s no need to refine it now. With this little guy here, we can always refine it."


    Mo Chentian asked, "Mi Xiaojing, the cultivation method you practice seems quite special, right?"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled, but before he could answer, Yu Hong said, "Let''s not ask about what cultivation method he practices. The sect doesn''t care about this. Mi Xiaojing, if you need anything in the future, juste to us. If it''s a problem that can be solved, the sect will definitely help. Also, Yong Ji will follow you, and he will be responsible for your safety!"


    Mi Xiaojing understood a bit. As expected, the sect''s high-level officials had heard about his conflict with Chen Shouyi, so they sent someone to protect him. With Yong Ji around, even if Chen Shouyi had the guts, he wouldn''t dare to kill him again.


    Mo Chentian said, "I mean the same thing. If your cultivation method is special, then whatever you need, the sect will provide for you. Just focus on your cultivation and try to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible. After all, your current cultivation level is too low. If you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, maybe you can seed in refining the Divine Pill."


    Everyone was very clear that apart from his insufficient cultivation level, Mi Xiaojing had no other problems. Just by watching him guide Mu Hengyuan, they knew that this little guy was really good at alchemy.


    Yu Hong asked, "Should the materials be stored with me or with you?"


    Mi Xiaojing was delighted, he said, "Keep them with me. When I have time, I can process and purify them."


    Yu Hong nodded, "Alright, the remaining materials will be kept with you."


    Mu Hengyuan had already extinguished the fire control array and stopped the operation of the Pill Cauldron. He was still sighing in his heart. He was so close, but he couldn''t find where he went wrong, which made him quite frustrated.


    Yu Hong said, "That''s it for today. Mi Xiaojing, go back and rest. You''ve worked hard these past few days."


    As he spoke, Yu Hong stood up. Mo Chentian and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden both nodded at Mi Xiaojing. This represented the high-level officials of the sect''s high recognition of him. A small cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could be so valued by the sect. Mi Xiaojing could be proud of this. Of course, he still didn''t have much goodwill towards the Heart Sect.


    Wang Weijun said, "Not bad, not bad, these materials are quite good. It''s best to keep them in your bag. It would be even better if you could steal the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. That''s the real treasure!"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled. Steal the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture? What a joke! That was the most important treasure of the sect. It was usually not kept in the storage room, but carried by the elder. Stealing something from a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage was not the way to seek death.After Yu Hong and the others left, Mu Hengyuan finally approached Mi Xiaojing: "You did well. From now on, Mu Xiaoyin will follow you."


    This statement left Mi Xiaojing stunned. He hadn''t expected Mu Hengyuan to propose this: "Senior Sister?"


    Mu Hengyuan said: "She is my only rtive in this world who still shares my bloodline. She will live in the Gathering Spring annex from now on. She has started her Evolutionary Immortality, you taught her, didn''t you?"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately understood, which exined why Mu Xiaoyin, a mere mortal, dared to call Chen Shouyi an old man, and why a mortal could be in the most important department of the sect. It turned out that Mu Xiaoyin really had a powerful backing.


    "I..."


    "You don''t need to exin. I know she has always been unable to cultivate. Since she can now pursue Evolutionary Immortality, let her do so. It''s better than being a mere mortal."


    Mi Xiaojing looked at Mu Hengyuan speechlessly. It turned out they knew everything, but they just didn''t tell him. If he hadn''t shown his extraordinary talent in Alchemy this time, they would probably still ignore him.


    Without saying more, Mu Hengyuan turned and left first.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to stay here for long either. The Alchemy process this time had nearly exhausted him. He had never been so tired before, and the power of the Starry Sky within him had also been mostly consumed. He slowly walked out.


    As he was about to reach the door, Yong Ji appeared not far away and walked towards him.


    Mi Xiaojing knew that Yong Ji would follow him in the future, so he didn''t say much. As he reached the door, he saw a personing face to face.


    Chen Shouyi!


    No more updates, I, Lao Xiao, am also going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival! Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 166: Seclusion

    <h4>Chapter 166: Seclusion</h4>


    Chen Shouyi!


    Mi Xiaojing knew that Yong Ji was following him, so he wasn''t afraid of Chen Shouyi and walked straight towards him.


    Chen Shouyi was quite surprised. When did Mi Xiaojing be so bold? He wished he could p this bastard to death, but he knew he absolutely couldn''t make a move. If he did it here, everyone would know that he killed Mi Xiaojing. That would be equivalent to dying together with Mi Xiaojing, and he wasn''t that stupid.


    "Kid, don''t be too smug. I don''t believe you can keep this up!" Chen Shouyi''s tone suddenly changed. The first part of his sentence was very low, but thetter part was said very loudly, as if an elder was encouraging a junior.


    At this time, Yong Ji had already walked behind Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t say anything, he just bared his teeth at him, like a hungry wolf intimidating its prey before eating. This was the expression of a hungry wolf that Mi Xiaojing encountered when he was a child.


    .


    This expression left a deep impression on Mi Xiaojing. Using it now perfectly expressed his mood.


    Chen Shouyi was furious, but seeing Yong Jiing, he had to step forward and say, "Brother Yong, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"


    An elder from the Sword Heart Hall actually came to the Grass-Benevolence Hall, Chen Shouyi was naturally curious. He thought the other party was looking for him.


    Yong Ji said, "Brother Chen, I''m sorry, but I''m not here for you. I''m following him from now on by the order of my master." He pointed at Mi Xiaojing.


    Chen Shouyi was shocked to the extreme. He also pointed at Mi Xiaojing and hesitated, "Follow him? Ha, follow him? He''s just a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, why would you follow him? Are you joking?"


    Yong Ji said indifferently, "Joking? This is the master''s order!"


    Chen Shouyi was speechless. After a while, he said, "Why?"


    Yong Ji used to respect Chen Shouyi, not because of his cultivation level andbat power, but because of his master-level alchemy skills. If Chen Shouyi fought with him, he could let two Chen Shouyise and fight.


    But now it was clear that Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy skills were much stronger than Chen Shouyi''s.


    "What do you mean why?"


    Chen Shouyi suddenly realized that he had overreacted and quickly tried to make up for it with augh, "Nothing, nothing, haha, I''m just curious."


    Mi Xiaojing flew up on his sword, hepletely ignored Chen Shouyi, after all, Chen Shouyi didn''t dare to make a move, "Uncle Yong, let''s go."


    Yong Ji sneered at Chen Shouyi and disappeared on the spot in a sh of light.


    Chen Shouyi stood there dumbfounded. He was not a fool. After a little thought, he broke out in a cold sweat.


    What did it mean for Yong Ji to follow Mi Xiaojing?


    This meant that a high-level cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage was on guard against him. It was unusual that he didn''te to find him directly.


    Regardless of whether he was suspected or not, a Foundation Establishment disciple from the Grass-Benevolence Hall was actually protected by an elder from the Sword Heart Hall. Most importantly, as an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he didn''t receive any notice. With his intelligence, he could of course understand what was going on.


    He couldn''t do anything recently. Chen Shouyi made a decisive decision and immediately flew back to his own manor on his sword. Then he announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion and that any matters would have to wait until he came out.


    Hiding from this storm was Chen Shouyi''s only choice.


    If he still wanted to kill Mi Xiaojing at this time, that would be too stupid. Chen Shouyi was not a fool. This guy was cunning and insidious. Without absolute certainty, he would never make a move.


    If he still foolishly went to kill someone at this critical moment when he had attracted the attention of the high-ranking elders of the sect, that would not be Chen Shouyi.


    Cangmin Star was considered a remote in the Cultivation World. Under normal circumstances, high-level cultivators rarely appeared, let alone Loose Immortals.


    Of course, there was an exception on Cangmin Star, that was where Mi Youran and Luo Mei lived in seclusion.


    Every year, Mi Youran would predict the good and bad fortune and situation for his son. The couple lived in a very remote snow mountain. The climate here was harsh and almost unsuitable for human survival. Even cultivation sects would not set up their mountain gates here.


    The snow mountains here were continuous, and the cold Gang energy was howling in the mountains all the time. This cold Gang was extremely poisonous. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage could not resist it. Once the cold Gang entered the body, they would immediately turn into an ice sculpture. Even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage did not dare to expose themselves to the cold Gang for a long time.


    There was a valley here. Although it was cold, there was no cold Gang entering. The valley was full of various plum trees. They were all rare species, growing slowly, with strong branches and beautiful shapes. The flowering period was very long, and there was always a cold fragrance floating in the valley, refreshing the heart and spleen.


    At the bottom of the valley, there was a huge tform that upied 60% of thend at the bottom of the valley. The surface was like white jade, with countless stars arranged on it. The intersecting lines of Dao patterns were flickering with the change of the sky.


    This thing itself was an ancient immortal treasure. Mi Youran''s predictions all relied on this treasure.


    This ancient immortal treasure was too much for Mi Youran to handle alone. He needed Luo Mei''s help. Of course, for general predictions, Mi Youran could handle them himself. But forrge-scale predictions, he was a bit overwhelmed.


    Mi Youran looked up at the sky, muttering non-stop. Luo Mei sat cross-legged on the side, seemingly used to this scene.


    "That guy actually didn''t die."


    Luo Mei said, "Who? Who didn''t die?"


    "The one whose physical body we destroyed didn''t get destroyed by the Mantra Banner."


    "What! How is that possible!"


    Mi Youran said, "But there''s no danger for now, don''t worry. When our son grows up and has some strength, we can meet him. At that time, no matter what this guy wants to do, he won''t have a chance!"


    "My husband, I miss our son so much. Can we go see him now?"Mi Youran shook his head, "Not now."


    This time, Luo Mei didn''t lose her temper. She just lowered her head in sadness, "The child should be quite old now, I wonder if he looks like you or me." A tender expression appeared on her face, as if their son was right in front of her.


    Mi Youran casually said, "He must look like me, haha."


    Luo Mei red at him, "Who said so?"


    Mi Youran immediately backed down, "Haha, like you, definitely like mom, haha."


    Luo Mei snorted, then her face broke into a smile, "Of course, he must look like me, I gave birth to him! By the way, can you calcte when we will be able to see our son?"


    Mi Youran gave a bitter smile, "The cause and effect are tooplex, I can''t calcte it."


    Luo Mei said, "No, you have to calcte it, even a rough estimate would be good. Hurry up, hurry up!"


    Facing his wife''s insistence, Mi Youran didn''t show any temper. He said, "Okay, okay, I''ll calcte, I''ll calcte!" To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 167: Loose Immortal!

    <h4>Chapter 167: Loose Immortal!</h4>


    In fact, Mi Youran had secretly made countless calctions, but each time there was no result. He had long understood that it was extremely difficult to see his son, and he didn''t want to bring disaster to his son.


    With the help of Luo Mei, Mi Youran made another prediction.


    "How is it? How is it?"


    Mi Youran remained silent, just staring at the ground.


    After a long time, Mi Youran finally raised his head and said, "The baby is fine. We can''t see him for now, but I''ve discovered something else."


    Luo Mei asked, "What is it?" Her tone was not good. Her hope was shattered again, and she felt extremely upset, her words bing harsh.


    "There''s a tribtion on Cangmin Star!"


    "A tribtion on Cangmin Star? What does it have to do with me?" As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Mei reacted, "Will this tribtion affect my son?"


    Mi Youran said, "If there''s a problem with Cangmin Star, of course our son will be affected!"


    Luo Mei could ept everything else, but the only thing she couldn''t ept was if something happened to her son. She asked, "Is this tribtion natural or man-made?"


    If it was a natural tribtion, even if it was a major one, Luo Mei, as a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, would probably find it difficult to calm down. A minor tribtion wouldn''t affect her son''s existence unless he happened to be nearby.


    If it was a man-made major tribtion, Luo Mei was confident she could stop it.


    "It''s man-made, by a very powerful person."


    "I don''t believe it, no matter how powerful he is, I can kill him!"


    "A Loose Immortal!"


    Luo Mei was taken aback. If a cultivator in the Mahayana stage had an opponent, it would be a Loose Immortal, especially one who had survived a tribtion. They were extremely fierce, and a cultivator in the Mahayana stage might not necessarily win. Her expression finally became serious.


    "Can you figure out who it is?"


    "I can''t. He''s hidden very deeply. He seems to have concealed some kind of mystery. I can only detect a trace of clues, but I can''t fully predict it."


    Luo Mei felt a chill in her heart: "What does he want to do?"


    Mi Youran said, "I can''t figure it out. It''s very mysterious, and he''s been in Cangmin Star for a long time, even before I arrived."


    Loose Immortals are rare in the world of cultivators. Most cultivators may not see a Loose Immortal in their lifetime, or even if they do, they may not know that the other party is a Loose Immortal.


    Loose Immortals have their own social circles, just like cultivators who have reached the Mahayana stage. These two groups of people are the top existences in the Cultivation World. Of course, if they meet an immortal, then nothing else matters.


    However, the immortals that can be seen in the Cultivation World are extremely rare. Perhaps only in some specialrge sects can they be seen.


    Such sects are sorge that they can upy a and control more than a dozen cultivations. Only suchrge sects have the ability to produce immortals.


    Because there are not a few cultivators in the Mahayana stage in such sects, once they ascend to immortality, if they have the opportunity to return to the Cultivation World, the first thing they need to do is naturally to help their own sect.


    However, such sects are extremely rare. Luo Mei only learned about a few sects of this scale after she cultivated to the Mahayana stage. Butpared to the vast universe, these sects are actually nothing.


    The foundations of these sects are extremely deep, and they are notparable to sects like the Heart Sect. Generally speaking, the inheritance of such sects is calcted in tens of thousands of years, and there are evenrge sects that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years.


    Loose Immortals have a wide range of activities. They wander around the Cultivation World, running around variouss, because they can crosss without using teleportation arrays. Among cultivators, only those in the Mahayana stage canpare with them.


    In fact, Loose Immortals and cultivators in the Mahayana stage don''t see eye to eye. Because one step further from the Mahayana stage is an immortal. Compared with immortals, Loose Immortals are inherently inferior. Therefore, Loose Immortals have a natural fear of cultivators in the Mahayana stage, even if their strength is stronger than that of cultivators in the Mahayana stage.


    It''s easy to make enemies in the Cultivation World, but when you reach the high ranks, it''s not so easy to make enemies. Because those who can cultivate to the high ranks all know that there are always people better than them in the Cultivation World, and there are always higher skies outside the sky. If they are not careful, they will disappear in smoke, and they will be much more restrained.


    So when Luo Mei heard that it was a Loose Immortal, her expression became extremely serious. If it was a one-tribtion or two-tribtion Loose Immortal, that would be fine. She could definitely fight it. But if it was a three-tribtion Loose Immortal, that would be difficult.


    The so-called one-tribtion Loose Immortal is a Loose Immortal who has survived a tribtion after cultivating the Elemental Infant to a certain realm. Such a Loose Immortal is called a one-tribtion Loose Immortal.


    When a one-tribtion Loose Immortal cultivates to a certain realm, the heavens will send down cmity thunder again. This is the so-called Heavenly Tribtion. If they survive it, they be a two-tribtion Loose Immortal.


    Each time they survive a Heavenly Tribtion, the strength of the Loose Immortal will surge a great deal. However, the higher the rank of the Loose Immortal, the more painful it is. Each tribtion is a test of life and death. Theter it is, the more powerful the Heavenly Tribtion is. If they are not careful, they will disappear in smoke, with no reincarnation, no body snatching, everything will turn into ashes andpletely disappear from this world.


    So every Loose Immortal will start to refine their own tribtion-resisting treasure after surviving the first Heavenly Tribtion, using it to resist the Heavenly Tribtion. The more powerful the treasure, the more it can help resist the Heavenly Tribtion.


    After a little thought, Luo Mei immediately understood why this Loose Immortal came to Cangmin Star.


    This was not based on calction, but on logical reasoning. A Loose Immortal came to such a, and this was very inconspicuous in the Cultivation World and did not have a realrge sect. Then his purpose was very simple, to refine a treasure!


    The treasures refined by Loose Immortals are pseudo-immortal tools. They are far inferior to real immortal tools, but they are much higher than the spiritual tools used by cultivators.


    The refining of pseudo-immortal tools is very terrifying, and a slight carelessness can destroy a.


    Luo Mei asked, "Do you know how many tribtions this Loose Immortal has survived?"


    Mi Youran gave a bitter smile, "I can''t figure it out."


    In fact, it was normal for Mi Youran not to be able to figure it out. Not to mention that Loose Immortals can shield the heavenly secrets, just relying on the powerful strength of Loose Immortals, they will instinctively hide their traces. Being able to calcte a little bit was already a very remarkable thing.Both of them couldn''t sit still anymore. Luo Mei said, "No, we need to go out and search. A Loose Immortal who came to refine tools would always leave some traces! With these, our spections can be much more urate."


    The couple, who had been in sync for a long time, understood each other''s thoughts with just one nce. They both stood up and disappeared from the spot in an instant.


    The huge tform on the ground suddenly vanished, transforming into a streak of Silver Radiance that shot straight into the sky. Mi Youran wouldn''t be foolish enough to leave this thing here. It was not only a tool for scheming and spection, but also a weapon shared by Mi Youran and his wife.


    To be continued.

 Chapter 168: Starry Sky Gang

    <h4>Chapter 168: Starry Sky Gang</h4>


    The Heart Sect had been peaceful for a while, the only issue was the repair of the mountain protection formation.


    Anyone in the sect who had even a slight understanding of formations was called to repair the formation. The core of the formation was damaged, and the higher-ups of the Heart Sect were at a loss.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was quite rxed. He was ordered to cultivate, and the sect''s elder hadmanded that no one should disturb him. They all hoped that Mi Xiaojing could increase his cultivation level as much as possible in a short time.


    Yong Ji also benefited from this, staying in the Gathering Spring courtyard and cultivating diligently.


    But Mi Xiaojing was not at ease. Besides cultivating, his most important task was to find a way to replenish the power of the Starry Sky. Ever since he realized that the Spirit Pills he refined did not help his own Starry Sky power, he had been discussing this issue with Wang Weijun.


    Wang Weijun was also working hard. This was rted to his future cultivation after seizing a body. Mi Xiaojing''s problem was also his problem, there was no doubt about that.


    Due to his cultivation level, Mi Xiaojing could only understand part of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art. He knew the content of theter parts, but he just couldn''t truly understand it. This was where he needed Wang Weijun''s help.


    For Wang Weijun, the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was profound, but his knowledge was not bad. He quickly found a corresponding method in this magical technique.


    The Starry Sky Pill was not for consumption, but for wearing. During each cultivation session, the Starry Sky power converted from starlight was infused into the Starry Sky Pill. Once the Starry Sky power in the body was depleted, the Starry Sky Pill could automatically replenish it.


    The only problem was that Mi Xiaojing couldn''t gather the materials to make the Starry Sky Pill. When Wang Weijun listed the materials needed to refine the Starry Sky Pill, Mi Xiaojing waspletely stunned.


    "I can''t collect these materials at all!"


    "Of course you can''t. However, there is an alternative method. You can use your prayer beads to collect Starry Sky power. The things of Evolutionary Immortality are all strange. Maybe it will work, hehe."


    The prayer beads on Mi Xiaojing''s wrist had be very strange. When he was cultivating for Evolutionary Immortality, in addition to the Mantra''s blessing, there was also the nourishment of Spiritual Qi and True Qi. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, all the True Qi in Mi Xiaojing''s body was converted into Starry Sky power. When he blessed the prayer beads, even the Starry Sky power was also blessed.


    Wang Weijun had noticed this early on. He was a little confused. With such a messy blessing, it was strange that the prayer beads didn''t turn into ashes.


    In the end, he had a bit of understanding. It was probably the effect of the Mantra Banner. So he made this suggestion. ording to his idea, even if it was not sessful, it was just a waste of a string of prayer beads. It was no big deal.


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the prayer beads on his wrist: "Can this work? Should I try?"


    Mi Xiaojing was a little tempted. The only thing that made him doubtful was that if he messed up this string of prayer beads, he would really be heartbroken. You know, these prayer beads were made by him when he started cultivating for Evolutionary Immortality. Over the past decade, he had developed deep feelings for them.


    However, for some reason, Mi Xiaojing always had a sense of crisis recently. Replenishing the Starry Sky power was an extremely important matter. He believed that it must be resolved. Once in a battle, if the Starry Sky power was exhausted, he would have no way out. That would be seeking death. The consequences were too terrible and must be resolved at all costs.


    Wang Weijun was always up for a good show. He didn''t care whether the prayer beads could withstand it or not. If they broke, then they would find another way. This was also a solution, wasn''t it?


    "It''s okay. When you bless it normally, doesn''t Starry Sky power also enter? Try it, maybe it will work."


    Wang Weijun''s weight in Mi Xiaojing''s heart was getting heavier and heavier. His words always made sense, and he had never harmed Mi Xiaojing. He had helped Mi Xiaojing get to where he was today, so his coaxing was sessful.


    Mi Xiaojing made up his mind and said, "Okay, I''ll give it a try!"


    Wang Weijun was overjoyed. He was not happy because Mi Xiaojing was going to try it. He was happy because Mi Xiaojing really listened to his words. He knew very well how much Mi Xiaojing loved and treasured this string of beads. This proved that his weight in Mi Xiaojing''s heart was getting heavier and heavier, which was extremely beneficial for his future body seizure.


    Mi Xiaojing originally nned to directly input the Starry Sky power, but he had a sudden inspiration and decided to chant the mantra while slowly infusing a small amount of Starry Sky power. The amount was very small, after all, this string of prayer beads was his only memory of the Western Evolutionary Sect, and he had deep emotional attachment to it. Looking at these prayer beads was like looking at the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    With great care, Mi Xiaojing found that the prayer beads could indeed withstand a bit of Starry Sky power.


    With the blessing of the mantra and the input of the Starry Sky power, the prayer beads in Mi Xiaojing''s hand began to flicker. A trace of Starry Sky power, along with the blessing of the mantra, was slowly changing the prayer beads.


    The first time he blessed the prayer beads in this way, Mi Xiaojing only took an hour. He then ended his cultivation and carefully examined the prayer beads in his hand, fearing that he might have identally destroyed them.


    The prayer beads had obviously grown a circlerger, with dense mantras appearing on them, seeming real and illusory. Originally, the beads were ck with golden spots, but now the entire string of beads was a deep blue. The golden spots of the mantra were mixed with a hint of purple light, which should have been caused by the text of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture.


    The touch was not as rough as before, but extremely smooth. The collision between the prayer beads made a crisp sound. Just an hour of blessing hadpletely changed the entire string of prayer beads.Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but exim in admiration. The prayer beads were originally of a dull ck color, unremarkable at first nce. But now, they seemed like a rare treasure, shimmering with radiance, their precious nature revealed.


    "How did this happen? It''s so beautiful!"


    "Kid, keep going, I think you can continue to enhance it!"


    However, Mi Xiaojing shook his head, "Moderation is the key. I think it''s better to cultivate step by step." He was cautious by nature, not wanting to ruin the prayer beads in his haste. He would rather take it slow, not willing to speed up, even if it took a long time, he didn''t want instant sess.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t force him, feeling a bit regretful in his heart, but he actually agreed with Mi Xiaojing''s approach.


    "Alright, do what you think is right, and stop if it''s not. I have no objections."


    Wang Weijun didn''t need to argue with Mi Xiaojing over this minor matter. ording to Wang Weijun''s thinking, as long as you''re happy, whether it''s right or wrong, it''s your own decision.


    You should know that when one person deliberately targets another, especially those withplex minds, they can''t resist the scheme. Mi Xiaojing was just a child, even though he was now a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was essentially still a child. It''s always easier to coax a child than an adult.


    Mi Xiaojing suppressed the turmoil in his heart. In fact, he also wanted to continue enhancing, but he understood better that nothing can be achieved in one step. He still didn''t have real control over the power of the Starry Sky, he needed time, a bit of grinding. To be continued.

 Chapter 169: Bless

    <h4>Chapter 169: Bless</h4>


    The power of the Starry Sky, the most fundamental force of the Qianyuan Art, is also the original force. Once Mi Xiaojing cultivates to the Foundation Establishment stage, it will no longer be the power of the Starry Sky, but will upgrade to the True Power of the Starry Sky.


    If one day he advances to the Elemental Infant stage, the True Power of the Starry Sky will upgrade to the True Essence of the Starry Sky. At that time, the power of the Starry Sky will truly step into the high-level realm.


    As for what the True Essence of the Starry Sky will be after advancing to the Divided Spirit stage, Mi Xiaojing himself is not clear. It''s too early to think about this problem now, and he hasn''t thought much about it.


    An hour of input, even if it''s just a small part, consumed a lot of Mi Xiaojing''s Starry Sky power. He sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. Another hour passed, and Mi Xiaojing recited the mantra again, inputting the power of the Starry Sky.


    With this blessing and input, the eighteen prayer beads became the size of eggs. Holding them in his hand waspletely inappropriate. Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. What should he do?


    Eighteen egg-sized prayer beads, let alone wearing them on the wrist, even wearing them around the neck would be too big.


    Wang Weijun also saw it, and this guy couldn''t help but sit on the Heart Tower and burst intoughter. The outside couldn''t hear hisughter, but Mi Xiaojing could hear it clearly.


    "Keep blessing it...haha, will it be a ball...haha."


    Wang Weijunughed crazily, not knowing what nerve he had touched. Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, not knowing what was so funny.


    "Hahaha...squeak...haha...eighteen balls, hahaha!"


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the prayer beads in hisp, speechless. How did they be so big? The prayer beads that could be moved with the tip of his finger now required his palm to hold one. It was really outrageous.


    The most deadly thing was that the eighteen prayer beads were shining brightly, and their precious aura was flickering. At a nce, they were known to be a treasure.


    But Mi Xiaojing knew in his heart that this was just a string of prayer beads, nothing special. But this image would definitely attract the coveting of masters.


    How could he wear such a long string of prayer beads, with such a big head, on his wrist in the future? The prayer beads of Evolutionary Immortality cannot be stored away. They must be carried close to the body. Otherwise, how can they be blessed and cultivated?


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated and said, "Stopughing, I don''t know what''s so funny, should I...should I keep blessing it?"


    "Haha, add...of course add, haha...turn it into a ball...hahaha, haha...squeak..."


    Wang Weijun didn''t know what was going on, he just found it very funny and couldn''t stop.


    Mi Xiaojing was amused by his hooked tail sound. This old guy was really something. He didn''t evenugh properly, and his voice was too weird.


    "Alright, I''ll continue...um, you continue too..."


    When Wang Weijun heard Mi Xiaojing say "continue", he finally stoppedughing. He was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had made a fool of himself. But the suddenughter just now was really unstoppable.


    Wang Weijun retreated to the Heart Tower and went straight back to the Mantra Banner. He thought about it and felt that he was really shameless.


    For half a month, Mi Xiaojing, apart from cultivating and inhaling a breath of Qianyang purple qi in the early morning, was constantly practicing Evolutionary Immortality. As the power of the Starry Sky that was blessed and infused became more and more, the prayer beads really became like what Wang Weijun had guessed, gradually changing from a bead to the size of a cantaloupe.


    The round ball, showing a deep treasure blue color, had tiny golden purple Spirit Scripts on the surface of the ball.


    Eighteen prayer beads really became eighteen balls, which could surround Mi Xiaojing''s cross-legged body. It was very convenient to move them with both hands.


    Wang Weijun burst intoughter again, mainly because it was too ridiculous. The prayer beads were originally moved in the palm of the hand, but now they were moved on the ground. It didn''t look right no matter how you looked at it.


    "Haha, it really turned into a ball! Haha!"


    The prayer beads were originally connected by a thin string, but when Mi Xiaojing advanced to the first realm of Evolutionary Immortality, the thin string was removed. The beads were connected by the Spirit Scripts and were still connected together. Although the eighteen prayer beads were as big as balls, they were still connected together.


    It was not hard to move them. With a light touch, the string of prayer beads would move a bead position, which looked very magical.


    Originally, to bless the mantra and input the power of the Starry Sky, you had to touch it with your hand. But with continuous blessing, Mi Xiaojing found that even if he didn''t touch it with his hand, the string of prayer beads would roll around him.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to bless it for another month. The prayer beads were already as big as watermelons, and automatic lines were formed on them. These lines were not even recognized by Wang Weijun. The only thing he could be sure of was that these lines looked very much like Dao patterns.


    Once the prayer beads were blessed, they would not stay on the ground, but would float around Mi Xiaojing. When Mi Xiaojing recited the mantra, the eighteen beads like watermelons would rotate around his body. This scene was really weird.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun didn''t know what this string of beads would eventually be. This thing had already exceeded their imagination.


    "This thing looks like a meteor...""No matter what it looks like, I feel that the prayer beads have gained some kind of spirituality. As for what it is, perhaps the blessing is not enough yet."


    "Then continue, you can try to increase the input of Starry Sky power."


    "Alright, I''ll give it a try."


    Now, no one dared to bother Mi Xiaojing anymore. His position in the sect was very clear. Only the four Elemental Infant elders had the qualifications to ask Mi Xiaojing to do things. Everyone else should mind their own business and had nothing to do with Mi Xiaojing. Moreover, Mi Xiaojing''s status had also been adjusted. He was now a core disciple of the inner sect.


    As time passed, Mi Xiaojing could no longer cultivate in his room, forcing him to retreat to a forest in the backyard. This ce was already at the edge of the Gathering Spring''s separate courtyard, and beyond that was the forbidden area.


    The eighteen beads had grown another roundrger than a watermelon. Fortunately, these beads could float in the air, as if there was an invisible rope connecting these beads into a circle. However, having eighteen beadsrger than a watermelon floating around one''s body was indeed bizarre.


    Arriving at the small woods, Mi Xiaojing didn''t care about the surrounding trees. He found a slightly t open space and sat down directly, continuing to bless and infuse the prayer beads. He was determined to see how big this thing could grow.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing mainly used the true words for blessing, but now he mainly inputted the power of the Starry Sky. Once the Starry Sky power in his body was consumed by more than half, he would absorb starlight to transform into Starry Sky power. Once full, he would immediately start blessing again, alternating between the two.


    In the beginning, the eighteen beads rotated gently. But as the amount of Starry Sky power input increased, the speed of rotation also changed. Gradually, the beads began to rotate rapidly, and the small trees around his body silently shattered. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 170: Went in again

    <h4>Chapter 170: Went in again</h4>


    Wang Weijun could no longerugh. As he had initially estimated, the bead was indeed getting bigger and bigger.


    When the bead grew to the size of a millstone, the momentum of the eighteen beads spinning was so great that even the sound of wind and thunder emerged.


    Fortunately, the Gathering Spring Courtyard had be a forbidden area of the sect. Without permission, outsiders were unable toe and inspect.


    However, all of this was seen by Yong Ji. He was quite shocked, not knowing what kind of magical weapon Mi Xiaojing was cultivating that could possess such power, making him feel a vague sense of threat. He was a whole realm higher than Mi Xiaojing, and his strength was not something Mi Xiaojing couldpare to.


    What surprised Yong Ji was this point. The fact that he could feel a hint of threat indicated that the magical weapon Mi Xiaojing was cultivating was very unusual. Naturally, he couldn''t imagine that Mi Xiaojing was only cultivating a string of prayer beads, and their purpose was not forbat, but to replenish the Starry Sky power in his body at any time.


    However, Yong Ji only took a brief look and then returned to his room. He didn''t have extra time to worry about it. Cultivation was more practical. For a cultivator at his level, life was quite boring, every day was spent cultivating.


    Mi Xiaojing was also quite helpless. Originally, there were eighteen prayer beads, but now they had turned into eighteen huge balls. Not to mention wearing them on his wrist, this pile of balls could be piled into a small hill. The diameter of a ball was taller than his body, which was simply outrageous.


    The surrounding grove had beenpletely destroyed by the eighteen balls. Mi Xiaojing could no longer sustain them. He smiled bitterly, "What should I do? They''re getting bigger and bigger. Although they can float around me, I can''t take so many balls out with me!"


    Wang Weijun was also dumbfounded. He didn''t know what to do either. He said, "I... I don''t know what to do either! You figure it out. Even if you take them with you, it''s not a big deal."


    Mi Xiaojing almost spat out blood. Taking eighteen giant balls out? The key was that these eighteen giant balls were very powerful. They could probably destroy anything they hit. This wasn''t taking balls out, it was taking disaster out.


    .


    Wang Weijun suddenly had an idea, "Right, you''ve been inputting Starry Sky power, why don''t you try absorbing it back?"


    Mi Xiaojing pped his own head, he had forgotten his original purpose, "Right! I should try to absorb the Starry Sky power inside. I don''t know if I can absorb it!"


    "I need to think about how to absorb it..."


    Should he stop chanting the mantra and directly absorb it? Or should he continue to chant the mantra while absorbing the Starry Sky power inputted into it?


    Mi Xiaojing kept pondering. He was very cautious about this. He told Wang Weijun his thoughts, hoping he could give some guidance.


    On the Heart Tower, Wang Weijun was still half-lying down. His gaze was fixed on the seven copied Ancient Tribtion Pill Scriptures. He irresponsibly said, "Whatever, just try it first."


    Mi Xiaojing waspletely speechless. He knew that Wang Weijun was getting impatient.


    So he decided to try chanting and absorbing at the same time.


    He quickly made up his mind. It was just a try, there shouldn''t be any major mistakes. Mi Xiaojing thought that since he could input, he should be able to output.


    While chanting the mantra, he tried to extract the Starry Sky power.


    As a result, Mi Xiaojing was very disappointed. He couldn''t extract even a bit of the Starry Sky power. It was as if the Starry Sky power he had inputted earlier had all solidified inside.


    After about ten minutes, Mi Xiaojing stopped, "I can''t absorb it! It seems to have disappeared..."


    Wang Weijun said absentmindedly, "You can''t absorb it... then input more Starry Sky power. Maybe it hasn''t reached its limit yet."


    "It''s too big. If I continue to input Starry Sky power, will it explode?"


    "I don''t know..."


    Wang Weijun''s mind waspletely on the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. He was answering Mi Xiaojing''s questions subconsciously. In his opinion, even if the prayer beads exploded, it wouldn''t be a big deal. He could just make another string.


    This forced Mi Xiaojing to figure it out on his own. At this time, he thought of the substitute puppet. The substitute puppet was forcibly copied by the mantra. Could he use the mantra again?


    This time, Mi Xiaojing didn''t input Starry Sky power, but kept chanting the mantra.


    Then, Mi Xiaojing saw an astonishing scene. The prayer beads actually began to shrink, bit by bit,pressed by the mantra. Mi Xiaojing was very surprised. He had no interest in the millstone-sized balls. Even if they couldn''t be made into tools to replenish Starry Sky power, they should at least be restored to their original bead string. That was one of the most important things in his limited memory.


    As long as they could be restored, Mi Xiaojing didn''t care about anything else. Finally, he managed topress the millstone-sized balls to the size of a watermelon. However, no matter how much Mi Xiaojing chanted the mantra, he couldn''tpress them any further, which made him very frustrated.


    Having no other choice, Mi Xiaojing could only input the Starry Sky power back into them.


    The prayer beads began to expand again, which made Mi Xiaojing extremely depressed. What was this?


    Just like this, they keptpressing and expanding, thenpressing and expanding again, repeating over and over again, as if there was no end. During this period, because Mi Xiaojing kept chanting the mantra and absorbing starlight, although the prayer beads didn''t recover, his cultivation level was advancing by leaps and bounds.


    Just when Mi Xiaojing was at a loss, the Mantra Banner suddenly moved. It seemed that the prayer beads had reached a certain limit, which triggered the Mantra Banner.


    In an instant, chains of mantras extended from the Heart Tower and directly wrapped around the surface of the prayer beads. At this time, the prayer beads had a diameter of three meters, which was simply a huge object, and Mi Xiaojing couldn''tpress them with the mantra anymore.


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly see the mantra chains wrapping around them. He was not unfamiliar with this process. When the mantra chains wrapped around the substitute puppet, it was like this. Mi Xiaojing sat there honestly, not making any moves, just observing the whole process.When one of the prayer beads waspletely wrapped in the mantra chains, there was a loud bang, and that bead disappeared without a trace. Then the second bead disappeared, followed by the third... Mi Xiaojing stared nkly, was it all gone? However, he had a vague answer in his heart.


    Sure enough, after the eighteen prayer beads disappeared, Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian. He immediately saw that the eighteen prayer beads had entered his body, revolving around the substitute puppet, with a thunder sword hanging above his head, and the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture formed by thebination of mantras was also flying around.


    Mi Xiaojing was both amused and helpless. His Dan Tian was in aplete mess, with a substitute puppet, the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, eighteen prayer beads, a thunder sword, and an old man on the heart tower.


    Wang Weijun was dying of envy. Anything that could be absorbed into the body had the potential of a spiritual tool. With the passage of time, the nourishment of the Starry Sky power, and the blessing of the mantras, these things all had the potential to be magical spiritual tools. This was truly astonishing.

 Chapter 171: Illusion and Reality Prayer Beads

    <h4>Chapter 171: Illusion and Reality Prayer Beads</h4>


    In the Cultivation World, above magical tools are magical treasures, above magical treasures are spiritual tools, above spiritual tools are ancient treasures, and above ancient treasures, there exist pseudo-immortal tools.


    The few items within Mi Xiaojing''s body all have the potential to skip the stage of magical treasures and directly be spiritual tools. Once they be spiritual tools, even if Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level is not enough, the strength of his weapons would be sufficient.


    Of course, as of now, these items cannot be considered as spiritual tools, they can only be said to have the potential to be spiritual tools.


    Even so, Wang Weijun was extremely envious. However, he quickly became smug again. As long as he could seize control in the future, all these items would be his. No matter what, he had to support Mi Xiaojing now. The stronger Mi Xiaojing''s strength and the better his weapons, the greater the benefits for him after seizing control.


    Thinking of this, all his jealousy and envy disappeared, and Wang Weijun grinned happily.


    Mi Xiaojing, who was originally observing his prayer beads, suddenly saw Wang Weijun grinning andughing, "What are youughing at? Have you found any problems?"


    Wang Weijun, who was still in his own world, was startled by Mi Xiaojing''s question. He said, "You''ve seeded, huh. You can put the prayer beads into your body for nourishment. Its power will definitely be extraordinary in the future, haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing had no idea what Wang Weijun was thinking. Heughed and said, "Yes, I didn''t expect that I could actually store it in my body. The power of the Starry Sky is truly amazing!"


    Wang Weijun was taken aback. He also realized that the power of the Starry Skybined with the true words was indeed very magical, "Try again, see if you can absorb the power of the Starry Sky from the prayer beads."


    Mi Xiaojing tried as he said, but he shook his head with a bitter smile, "No, the power of the Starry Sky can enter, but it can''te out. I can''t absorb a bit of it."


    Wang Weijun said, "Then you''re not at a loss. It''s like you''ve refined your prayer beads again. Although I don''t know how powerful it is, this string of prayer beads has the potential to be a spiritual tool, which is already very good."


    There''s no such thing as perfect in this world. Being able to reach this step, Mi Xiaojing was actually quite satisfied in his heart. As for replenishing the power of the Starry Sky, he could think of other ways in the future. This was not something to be rushed.


    If he had the chance to collect the materials for Starry Sky pills, he might be able to refine some. However, Mi Xiaojing was clear that it was unlikely to collect these materials in the Heart Sect.


    His Divine Sense withdrew from his Dan Tian.


    Mi Xiaojing was in a good mood. Since there was a possibility of bing a spiritual tool, he was still gaining. Then he thought of an important question. His prayer beads were items of Evolutionary Immortality, how could they be a cultivator''s spiritual tool? What concept was this?


    In an instant, a string of prayer beads appeared on Mi Xiaojing''s wrist. At first, it was just a phantom, but it quickly solidified into a physical form.


    Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense hurriedly returned to his Dan Tian, and then he was stunned because the prayer beads were still on the Heart Tower. In other words, the prayer beads on his wrist were just a projection of the prayer beads on the Heart Tower.


    His Divine Sense quickly withdrew, and only then did Mi Xiaojing carefully examine the prayer beads on his wrist.


    The color had returned to its original state, ck with some very fine golden spots mixed in, almost hidden in the beads. If you didn''t look carefully, you wouldn''t see it at all.


    The prayer beads on the Heart Tower werepletely different. They were radiating Treasure Light, reflecting the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture from afar. The streaks of lightning drawn from the Thunder Sword were not as dazzling as these two.


    One was reserved, the other was mboyant, one was bright, the other was dark, one was virtual, the other was real. Fortunately, the mboyant one was inside his body, and the reserved one was on his wrist. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.


    The beads of the prayer beads were not strung together by a real rope, but were connected by a chain of true words. When Mi Xiaojing recited the true words, the beads would automatically jump to his fingertips and rotate in a fixed order. It was incredibly magical.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing was worried that it would be troublesome to practice Evolutionary Immortality without the prayer beads on his wrist. He didn''t expect everything to be solved so perfectly.


    Wang Weijun was still lying on the Heart Tower, continuing to ponder over the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. From time to time, he regretted not seizing this treasure if he had known that the Heart Sect had such a treasure.


    During this period of understanding and enlightenment of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, he had gained a lot of insights. It was a pity that his physical body was destroyed. If his cultivation level was still there and his physical body was still there, he even had the confidence to make further progress.


    Mi Xiaojing stood up. This cultivation session could be said to have yielded great results. Not only did his cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality strength greatly increase, but he also refined a string of peculiar prayer beads. However, what these prayer beads were used for still needed Mi Xiaojing to slowly explore. He was not clear about the specific functions and uses yet.


    When he arrived at the front yard, he found that Zhang Ke and the others had all gone out, leaving only Luo Bo. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Where did they go?"


    Luo Bo said, "They went out. They were bored at home, so they went to the market..."


    Mi Xiaojing knew about Chen Shouyi''s retreat, so he didn''t feel any danger. He asked, "When will they be back?"


    Luo Boughed, "They''ve been gone for a few days, they should be back today."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Why didn''t you go?"


    Luo Bo proudly said, "I''ve recently reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I want to seize the time to break through!"


    Mi Xiaojingughed, "Did you break through?"


    Luo Bo shook his head, but confidently said, "I will break through! Just give me some time, and I''ll break through soon!"Mi Xiaojing patted the little guy''s head, saying, "Good, you will definitely break through... Here, this is for you."


    A bottle of high-quality Qi Refining pills, this thing would be of the greatest help to Luo Bo. It could basically be used until the Qi Refining Great Perfection realm without any problem. Of course, besides cultivation level,prehension is also necessary for breakthrough.


    As forprehension, Mi Xiaojing had high hopes for Luo Bo. This child had shown highprehension from the very beginning. Up until now, there had never been any stagnation in his cultivation due toprehension issues.


    Among their group, apart from Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo had the bestprehension, followed by Dazhu, then Maotou and Weifu, with Zhang Ke being the worst.


    During their conversation, Zhang Ke returned with a group of children, all talking andughing.


    Zhang Ke immediately spotted Mi Xiaojing and joyfully eximed, "Junior Uncle, you''ve finally finished your cultivation!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked in confusion, "What''s wrong? Did something happen?"


    Zhang Ke waved his hand, "No, nothing. It''s just that when you went to the backyard for cultivation, it was earth-shattering. We were worried something might have happened to you since you didn''te back for so long. We were a bit worried."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m fine, I just finished cultivating, and the results are good." His rxed demeanor eased Zhang Ke''s worries.


    Everyone sat around the stone table. Maotou sat next to Mi Xiaojing, his face full of smiles, asionally chuckling, looking quite excited. Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "Maotou, what are youughing at? Did you find a Spirit Stone? You seem so happy..."


    Maotou happily took out a bead, "I got a little ghost!"

 Chapter 172: Mao Tou and Little Ghost

    <h4>Chapter 172: Mao Tou and Little Ghost</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was surprised and asked, "Where did you get it from?"


    Dazhu on the side said, "I traded it... I traded it for a Spirit Pill!"


    Luo Bo frowned, "You traded it for a Qi Refining Pill?"


    The young boy lowered his head a bit fearfully and said, "Mmm, I''ve always wanted a little ghost..."


    Luo Bo was clearly displeased, "You..."


    Mi Xiaojing immediately reached out to stop him, "What''s done is done, Luo Bo... He''s still young. If he likes little ghosts, let him raise one. It''s not a big deal."


    Luo Bo let out a long sigh. He knew that Qi Refining Pills were precious. If it weren''t for Mi Xiaojing''s provision, they wouldn''t have been able to get them at all. He was naturally unhappy about trading a Qi Refining Pill for a little ghost.


    At home, Mi Xiaojing was the eldest, Zhang Ke was the second, and Luo Bo was the third. Of course, Mu Xiaoyin was separate. Sometimes, even Mi Xiaojing had to listen to Mu Xiaoyin.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Let the little ghost out... Let us see."


    The young boy was immediately happy. He stood up, blew a breath at the bead, and instantly, the surroundings became cold. A twisted ck smoke emerged. This ck smoke was only as thick as a finger, and it emerged about a foot from the bead, suddenly transforming into a human face.


    The face was very vague. Upon careful discernment, one could see that it was the face of an old man, but it was illusory and unstable.


    This was a lowest-level little ghost, the weakest and least valuable. It had just managed to condense a form, had no spiritual intelligence, and could only act on instinct.


    Mi Xiaojing was also stunned, "This little ghost... is too poor." As he said this and stood up, taking a step towards the young boy, the little ghost was so scared that it let out a strange scream and suddenly shrank back.


    Mi Xiaojing was an Evolutionary Immortal and a Cultivator. Just a bit of his aura was enough to make the little ghost instinctively feel fear. It almost dissipated and hid in the bead, not daring to show its head again.


    The young boy quickly put the bead into his storage bag and waved his hand, "Brother Xiao Mi, you can''te over. The little ghost is scared to death..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "This ghost is too weak. You should raise a big ghost. This little ghost will be hard to raise."


    The young boy said very firmly, "No, I will raise it into a big ghost! Even more powerful!"


    Mi Xiaojing could only encourage him, "Alright, I don''t know what ghosts eat. You''ll have to raise it slowly."


    The young boy said very seriously, "Ghosts eat ghosts..."


    Mi Xiaojing and the others were immediately amused by him. Wei Fu said, "In the future, your brother will help you catch ghosts... for your ghost to eat."


    The young boy''s next sentence left everyone speechless.


    "Okay, whichever ghost wins, I''ll raise the most powerful one!" In other words, if a big ghost was brought over and ate the little ghost in the bead, the young boy would ept the big ghost as his own.


    Mi Xiaojing asked in confusion, "Didn''t you just say you wanted to raise this ghost?"


    "Yes!"


    Luo Bo said, "Slow down, slow down, you''re confusing me. If I give you a big ghost and it eats your little ghost... won''t your little ghost be gone? How will you raise your ghost?"


    The young boy didn''t think it was a big deal, "If it eats the little ghost, the big ghost is still there!"


    Luo Bo was both amused and exasperated, "So you mean, as long as there''s a ghost, no matter if you raised it or not, the winning ghost is yours?"


    The young boy nodded vigorously, "Yes!"


    Luo Bo shook his head, "That doesn''t count as a ghost you''ve been raising..."


    The young boy said, "It is a ghost I raised. If it eats my little ghost, the big ghost is mine."


    Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "Why?"


    The young boy said, "Because it ate the ghost I raised, it''s like I raised the big ghost..."


    Everyone was dizzy from the young boy''s roundabout logic. Mi Xiaojing waved his hand, "Whatever you say, as long as you think it''s good." This kid''s logic was simply bizarre.


    Mi Xiaojing sat back down and began to answer questions about Cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality for everyone.


    Whenever they had free time and weren''t cultivating, Mi Xiaojing would act as these children''s teacher, teaching them how to cultivate. So far, this approach had been very effective.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing was truly doing his best, teaching them the best things. He always hoped that, apart from himself, these children of the Western Evolutionary Sect could also progress quickly. Even if they couldn''t help him in the future, they would at least have the ability to protect themselves in the Cultivation World.


    As long as their foundation was solid, no matter what happened in the future, they would have a means to survive. Of course, Mi Xiaojing never told them this. He just silently taught them, silently provided everything, the most suitable cultivation methods and spirit medicines, and even prepared weapons for them.


    What made Mi Xiaojing happy was that these children were also very promising. Their cultivation levels were gradually improving. He believed that in a few years, these children''s cultivation levels and abilities would definitely be much stronger than the average disciples of the sect.


    After finishing this teaching session, Zhang Ke brought over food. Everyone gathered around the stone table, eating and chatting.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Did you hear any news about the sect or any other rumors when you went to the market this time?"


    Mu Xiaoyin said, "There are many rumors, saying that the sect''srge formation cannot be repaired... Mmm, there''s also a legend that Hong Qing is dead..."


    Zhang Ke said, "I heard he was killed by a master from the Vast Gold Sect."


    Although Hong Qing died in the Gathering Spring Vi, Zhang Ke and the others didn''t know about it.


    Wei Fu said, "I heard them discussing that the sect''s earth veins are unstable... Brother Xiao Mi, what does it mean for the earth veins to be unstable?"


    Mi Xiaojing knew a lot, but he didn''t know what unstable earth veins meant. He shook his head, "I don''t know."


    Wang Weijun popped up from the heart tower, "A bunch of idiots, unstable earth veins mean there''s going to be an earthquake. What''s there not to understand?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Unstable earth veins mean there''s going to be an earthquake..."


    Wei Fu looked at Mi Xiaojing strangely, "Didn''t you say you didn''t understand? How do you know it''s an earthquake now?"Mi Xiaojing was also speechless, he just blurted out: "Guessing... won''t work!"


    Wei Fu immediately backed down, saying in a ttering tone: "Okay, I believe whatever Brother Xiao Mi says!" He chuckled as he spoke.


    Everyoneughed, and Mi Xiaojing helplessly patted Wei Fu''s head, saying: "Alright, is there anything else besides these?"


    Zhang Ke said: "We don''t go out much, so we don''t have much news. Actually, you can ask Master Lu for these things, he should know more."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said: "Hmm, I see."


    Zhang Ke said: "Recently, there is a high demand for elixirs. If Junior Uncle has time, you can refine more, especially the Clear Tranquility Pills and Qi Refining Pills. There are also many people who want Foundation Establishment Pills, and the price has already gone up."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said: "I won''t be refining these low-level pills recently. I still have quite a few in my hands, all for you to use, so I won''t be selling them for now."


    Zhang Ke said: "Alright, then we will temporarily suspend the trade with Lu Liu Manor."


    Mi Xiaojing said: "Things are not peaceful recently, try to minimize the time spent outside and focus on cultivation." He noticed that everyone was a bit ck, except for Luo Bo who was still cultivating like crazy, the others were obviously a bitx.

 Chapter 173: Current situation

    <h4>Chapter 173: Current situation</h4>


    Zhang Keughed, "We''re all practicing diligently."


    Mi Xiaojing retorted, "You''re the mostx one!"


    Zhang Ke fell silent. He knew he was the most rxed among them, often cking off. He stepped back, feeling a bit embarrassed. He was somewhat afraid of disappointing Mi Xiaojing.


    "Hehe, I... I will practice harder..."


    Luo Bo chuckled, "The big guy is still afraid of Xiao Mi."


    Zhang Ke lightly pped him, "I''m not afraid, just embarrassed. Dare tough at me? I''ll give you less food next meal!"


    Luo Bo immediately backed down. He loved to eat and had a huge appetite. Half of the food Zhang Ke cooked every day ended up in Luo Bo''s stomach. So, the threat of less food hit Luo Bo''s weak spot, and he didn''t dare to retaliate.


    "Big guy, I''m afraid of you, okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing alsoughed. He knew Luo Bo was a foodie who would eat anything, regardless of whether it was raw or cooked. After starting his cultivation, Luo Bo''s appetite increased even more. His body became incredibly robust, and he could digest anything he ate, even slightly poisonous food.


    Luo Bo muttered, "My hobby is eating, you can''t ignore me..." He had two hobbies: cultivation and eating.


    After chatting with everyone for a while, Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m going to Lu Liu Manor. You all continue your cultivation."


    Everyone agreed, and Mi Xiaojing flew into the sky on his sword, followed by Yong Ji.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t mind Yong Ji following him. He had nothing to hide now.


    He flew directly to Lu Liu Manor andnded in the courtyard. Yong Ji alsonded, but he didn''t approach Mi Xiaojing, instead standing at a distance.


    As soon as theynded, the servants and low-level cultivators in the courtyard bowed. Everyone knew that cultivators who could descend from the sky held high positions in their sects.


    A man ran out in a panic. Mi Xiaojing recognized him andughed, "Qian Youwei... the steward!"


    Qian Youwei almost knelt down, "Master... Master... Senior..." He didn''t recognize Yong Ji, so he could only call him senior.


    "I''m looking for your master."


    "Yes, yes, please follow me..."


    Mi Xiaojing nced at Yong Ji, who nodded silently.


    They followed Qian Youwei to a bamboo pavilion at the back of the manor. Lu Yu, who was sitting inside, stood up when he saw Mi Xiaojing, "Brother, you''re here... What a rare guest!" Then he saw Yong Ji and was taken aback.


    "An elder of the Sword Heart Hall, a Foundation Establishment Ancestor," he quickly bowed, "Greetings, Elder Yong!"


    Yong Ji replied indifferently, "Carry on with your business, don''t mind me..." He walked to a corner of the pavilion and sat down cross-legged.


    With such a high-ranking figure present, the others didn''t dare to stay. They all bowed to Yong Ji, nodded at Mi Xiaojing, and then scattered.


    Lu Yu looked helplessly at Mi Xiaojing. He hadn''t expected everyone to leave so quickly. He ordered some spirit fruit tea and sat down with Mi Xiaojing, "Recently, many people have been seeking Spirit Pills, so... there have been more visitors here."


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that most of these people were Qi Refining cultivators, and they were all in thete stages or at the Great Perfection. No wonder they ran away at the sight of him and Yong Ji. Their status in the sect determined that they didn''t dare to stay.


    Lu Yu took a sip of tea, "Brother, did youe here for something..."


    He suddenly realized something and turned to look at Yong Ji. He didn''t dare to finish his sentence. Spirit Pills were primarily for the sect, and private transactions, although not explicitly forbidden, were supposed to be conducted discreetly. With a senior present, he didn''t dare to be reckless.


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head, "No, not for now."


    Lu Yu nodded, understanding. He looked at Mi Xiaojing, a hint of confusion in his eyes. If he wasn''t here to trade Spirit Pills, why was he here?


    Mi Xiaojing realized that with Yong Ji present, it was inconvenient tomunicate. There were some things he couldn''t ask.


    "How''s the Mountain Protection Formation?"


    Mi Xiaojing was curious. He knew the quality of the Mountain Protection Formation was directly rted to his own safety, so he had to verify this information.Lu Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "There seems to be... rumors saying..." As he spoke, he stole a nce at Yong Ji. Seeing that Yong Ji remained silent, engrossed in his cultivation, Lu Yu''s courage grew slightly.


    "It''s said that it can''t be repaired..."


    Lu Yu knew he couldn''t hide it from Yong Ji, but he still lowered his voice.


    Yong Ji suddenly interjected, "It can be repaired. Some functions have already been restored, but the core part is still irreparable. We''re trying to find a solution."


    Lu Yu jumped in surprise. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is it difficult to repair?"


    Yong Ji stood up and walked over to them. He pulled over a rush cushion and sat down, saying, "Ask whatever you want to know. I know more than he does."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I do have some questions. I''ve been busy with alchemy and don''t know much about what''s happening outside. I want to know, what''s the story behind this battle?" He had already learned from Lu Yu that the sect attacking their mountain gate was the Vast Gold Sect. However, he waspletely clueless about the cause and effect.


    As his status and cultivation level increased, Mi Xiaojing began to show concern. Not for the Heart Sect, but for the safety of his family.


    Previously, Mi Xiaojingcked the strength to make a difference, even if he had the will. Now, he had some power, and the higher-ups of the Heart Sect needed him. This put him in a favorable position. Knowing some information would allow him to prepare and avoid being caught off guard in a crisis.


    Yong Ji was one of the few in the Heart Sect who knew the inside story. As the direct disciple of Elder Yu Hong, he was clear about the cause and effect, and knew the strength of the enemy. The enemy had attacked the sect twice, and each time, the sect was in a state of chaos. This time, the core of the mountain protection array was damaged. Although the enemy had retreated, they could return at any time.

 Chapter 174: Plans

    <h4>Chapter 174: ns</h4>


    Vast Gold Sect!


    "Our enemy is the Vast Gold Sect, a sect located in the desert, which was unintentionally wiped out by our sect''s Grand Elder."


    Mi Xiaojing was so surprised that he couldn''t close his mouth. Unintentionally wiped out? The Heart Sect could intentionally wipe out a small Evolutionary Immortality sect like the Western Evolutionary Sect, but could unintentionally wipe out a major Cultivation sect? That was too exaggerated.


    Mi Xiaojing, who originally had no good feelings for the Heart Sect, felt even more disdain at this moment. Wiping out a sect unintentionally? What a joke!


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s puzzled face and Lu Yu''s shocked expression, Yong Ji knew they didn''t believe him.


    "The Vast Gold Sect''s base was in the desert, and the Grand Elder went there to collect a demon spirit."


    Yong Ji began to exin the whole process of the sect''s destruction.


    "The Vast Gold Sect was swallowed up by magma from the earth''s core, so they were wiped out."


    So that''s how the sect was wiped out!


    After listening to Yong Ji''s exnation, Mi Xiaojing felt that the Heart Sect was quite wronged. However, thinking of their destruction of the Western Evolutionary Sect, he felt it was retribution.


    The upper echelons of the Western Evolutionary Sect were all wiped out, and even if there were any survivors, they couldn''t make waves. But the Vast Gold Sect was different. The upper echelons of the Vast Gold Sect all escaped, and they still had some Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant Cultivators under them. Although their numbers were notrge, they were all mid-to-high-endbat power.


    "They must be very powerful."


    "Of course, otherwise our sect wouldn''t be so nervous. But you don''t need to worry, our sect has the strength and determination to protect everyone."


    Mi Xiaojing believed this, but Wang Weijun didn''t believe it at all. He said on the Heart Tower, "Bullshit! Once the mountain protection formation is broken, everyone in the Heart Sect will surely be killed! They are seeking revenge for the destruction of their sect, of course they will wipe us out. Kid, remember, once the sect''s formation is broken, don''t be foolish and fight to the death, run at the first opportunity!"


    Mi Xiaojing thought about it and agreed. Why should he fight to the death? Running was the right thing to do.


    "Can the mountain protection formation withstand another attack?"


    "Yes, it can definitely withstand it!"


    Yong Ji answered without hesitation, but in his heart, he had another answer. The mountain protection formation could only hold on for a few more days at most, and then it would copse. It was almost impossible to activate the formation again.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t notice anything wrong, but Wang Weijun understood, "Don''t listen to his nonsense. The core of the formation is damaged. Once the formation is activated, I think it can only hold on for a few days at most, and then it will bepletely finished. Remember, when the formation is activated again, that''s when you should prepare to run. Don''t hesitate. Looking at the situation, the Heart Sect might be finished!"


    "He''s taking advantage of the fact that you don''t understand what it means for the core of the formation to be damaged. If it''s forcibly activated at this time, the damage to the core will get worse day by day, and it can''t bear it at all. Once the formation is gone, it means the sect is broken. Without the protection of the formation, you disciples of the sect, aren''t you just waiting to be ughtered? It will be hard even to run!"


    "The most dangerous time is when the formation breaks, but it''s also the best time to escape. At that time, both inside and outside will be chaotic, and only by taking advantage of the chaos can you possibly escape the danger."


    "Forget it, I''ll tell you more when we get back. Try to find out more information, like the terrain around the sect, which sects are friendly with ours, etc. They must be close to our sect. You''d better know more, especially the map of the outer gate, otherwise you won''t even know where to run."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded secretly. Wang Weijun''s words reminded him that because he had been in contact with the upper echelons of the sect recently, and the Grand Elders in the Elemental Infant stage were all very nice to him, he had developed a certain illusion and unintentionally considered this ce as home, as a ce where he could live for a long time.


    But now it seemed that this ce was not his home, not a ce where he could grow up carefree.


    Yong Ji said, "Just listen to these words, don''t go around spreading them, especially you, what''s your name?"


    Lu Yu said, "My name is Lu Yu."


    "Lu Yu, I''m talking to him. Since you heard it too, don''t go around spreading it, understand?"


    "Yes, yes! I understand!"


    Lu Yu broke out in a cold sweat. With such a serious warning, he certainly wouldn''t dare to spread it. However, he also had his own thoughts.


    Yong Ji then said to Mi Xiaojing, "You''re going to sit for a while longer, right?"


    "Yes, I''ll go back after sitting for a while."


    "Wait for me for a moment. I''ll go back to the main hall of the sect. I''ll be back soon."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Yes, I''ll wait here."


    Yong Ji, because of answering questions, suddenly remembered that he hadn''t been back for a long time. He didn''t know what had happened to the sect recently, so he wanted to go back to the main hall of the sect to find out.


    He got up and left on his sword.


    It wasn''t until Yong Ji disappeared that Mi Xiaojing asked, "Do you have a map of the terrain around the sect?"


    Lu Yu was taken aback, then he understood. A look of realization and admiration appeared in his eyes. In fact, he had been thinking about this problem just now. What should he do if the sect''s formation was broken?He knew he was not a cultivator adept atbat. If the sect were to be breached, he was certain he would be cannon fodder, dying without even knowing how he died. Regardless, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Although he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he was qualified to venture out.


    With a pat on his storage bag, Lu Yu took out a jade slip. This kind of jade slip could only be used by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, as it required Divine Sense to view its contents. Qi Refining cultivators, unless they were born with a strong Divine Sense, would not be able to view it even if they obtained the jade slip.


    "Take a look at this, it''s very detailed."


    Mi Xiaojing took the jade slip and asked, "How do I use it?"


    Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, then he smiled and said, "Press it against your forehead and use your Divine Sense to view it." If it were a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, they wouldn''t need to press it against their forehead. They could simply hold it in their hand and use their Divine Sense to view it.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was different. Because he often immersed his Divine Sense into his Dan Tian and frequentlymunicated with Wang Weijun, his Divine Sense had be much stronger than other cultivators.


    .


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing was not aware of this. He did as instructed, pressing the jade slip against his forehead and sending his Divine Sense into it. Instantly, aplete map was projected into his mind.


    The map was simply toorge. Even after ten minutes, Mi Xiaojing had not finished viewing it. He was using his Divine Sense to view it, which allowed him to see arge area at a nce. Moreover, cultivators had extraordinary memories. They would generally remember something after seeing it once.


    Lu Yu said, "I''ll give this jade slip to you, senior brother. What are your ns?"


    Mi Xiaojing put down the jade slip from his forehead and asked, "ns? What do you mean?"


    Lu Yu gave a bitter smile, "Don''t you understand what Elder Yong said just now?"

 Chapter 175: Transfer plan

    <h4>Chapter 175: Transfer n</h4>


    Free and without pop-up ads! Mi Xiaojing continued to y dumb: "Understand what?"


    Lu Yu sighed and said, "I have a residence in Hidden Huo City... Would you like to buy a house there too?"


    Hidden Huo City?


    Mi Xiaojing once again ced the jade slip on his forehead and began to search for Hidden Huo City.


    A few minutester, he found the location of Hidden Huo City and read the brief introduction: "Is this a city where rogue cultivators and mortals gather?"


    Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very powerful Elemental Infant stage cultivator here, who is a rogue cultivator. Hidden Huo City is a small city he established. It''s a good ce with a mix of all sorts of people."


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, help me buy a house... um, a slightlyrger one. How many spirit stones do I need?"


    Lu Yu thought to himself: "As expected, once the formation is broken, this guy is going to run."


    "No need for spirit stones, just give me some low-level Qi Refining pills or Clear Tranquility Pills. The quantity doesn''t need to be much, hehe, just about right. As you know, there is a shortage of spirit pills recently. Brother Hong Qing has disappeared, Uncle Chen is in seclusion, and only a few people are refining pills... The entire sect is short of pills."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "If I want to send someone to Hidden Huo City, can you arrange it?"


    Lu Yu said, "The sect has not been sealed off recently, so there is a chance to get out. However, the distance to there is quite far, and it will probably take half a year to get there, unless you use the sect''srge flying boat, or have a cultivator fly there."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Can I hire someone to send... is that okay?"


    Lu Yuughed and said, "Of course, you can post a task, um, use spirit stones as a reward... Of course, if you use spirit pills, the effect will be better. You might even be able to invite a Foundation Establishment stage expert, but the task reward will be high... um, the best way is to hire a small flying boat, which is not slow and very safe."


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "I need safety insurance, it''s okay if the reward is a bit higher. A small flying boat is good, no matter how much it costs, it''s not a problem. If it really doesn''t work, I''ll exchange it with spirit pills!"


    He is now a little rich man, with a lot of spirit stones and spirit pills in his hands. In the cultivation world, these two things are hard currency. As a means of trade, these two are the most epted.


    Lu Yu said, "No problem, I can help you with themission... Just let me know when you''re ready."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "If I send someone away, will the sect allow it?"


    Lu Yuughed and said, "You are a Pill Master, if you want to leave the sect, you must have the approval of the Grand Elder. But if it''s your people leaving, there should be no problem, as long as you don''t leave."


    Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He not only wanted to send Zhang Ke and the others away, but also to send away the vige chief uncle and others who were attached to him.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing now understood that if a sect could not protect its disciples, then once the enemy invaded, the lower-level disciples would be in a very miserable situation, especially if the enemy was intent on exterminating the sect, it would be even more dangerous.


    Having experienced a sect extermination once, Mi Xiaojing was very cautious about this. Thinking of Master Zeng Li from the Western Evolutionary Sect, who had shouted hoarsely for them to run, Mi Xiaojing felt extremely sad.


    This absolutely could not happen again. Mi Xiaojing believed that once the enemy attacked the mountain gate, he would have the time and confidence to escape on his own, but he must first arrange for Zhang Ke and the others.


    After discussing the details with Lu Yu, the two quickly agreed on a time. Lu Yu also had people he wanted to send away, so they could go together this time.


    Not long after the two had finished discussing, Yong Ji returned. His face looked a bit ugly, as if something had happened. Mi Xiaojing, being a young man with a strong curiosity, couldn''t help but ask, "Uncle Master Yong, what''s wrong?"


    Lu Yu quickly excused himself. There were some things that he knew it was better to hear less about.


    Yong Ji hesitated for a moment, watching Lu Yu leave before saying, "I was supposed to get a Cultivating Essence Pill... but I didn''t get it this time, um, there wasn''t enough to distribute." He actually knew that the Cultivating Essence Pill was refined by Mi Xiaojing. His words were a bit deliberate, and he also wanted to see Mi Xiaojing''s reaction.


    Mi Xiaojing reacted very quickly. He had plenty of Cultivating Essence Pills. Yong Ji was now his protector. It wouldn''t be a problem to give him one or even ten Cultivating Essence Pills. He casually took out two ss bottles and said, "Uncle Master Yong, here!"


    One bottle contained a mid-grade Cultivating Essence Pill.


    Yong Ji was just testing the waters. He didn''t expect Mi Xiaojing to be so generous and directly give him two Cultivating Essence Pills. What actually upset him was not the fact that he didn''t get a Cultivating Essence Pill, but something else. He just didn''t want to tell Mi Xiaojing, so he used the Cultivating Essence Pill as an excuse.


    Without pretending to decline, Yong Ji took the ss bottle, checked it briefly, and was overjoyed. A mid-grade pill!


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that in the Heart Sect, the Cultivating Essence Pill had been monopolized by the Elemental Infant Ancestor. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators wanted this spirit pill but couldn''t get it. As for Qi Refining cultivators, they didn''t even qualify.


    Only cultivators with a background like Yong Ji had the chance to get one or two, but they were only low-grade Cultivating Essence Pills.


    Once the Cultivating Essence Pill reached the mid-grade, it was effective even for Elemental Infant cultivators, so they wouldn''t distribute it to the people below. Yong Ji was lucky because he was Yu Hong''s direct disciple and his strength was not bad, so he had the chance to get a low-grade pill.Two medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pills were of extremely high value. Yong Ji was currently in thete stage of Foundation Establishment, striving to reach the Great Perfection. With these two medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pills, he saw hope for advancement. He had been stuck at this level for over twenty years and should have broken through long ago. However, due to theck of suitable Spirit Pills to aid him, his cultivation was exceptionally difficult.


    Yong Ji said, "Very well, if I find something suitable for you in the future, I will give it to you..." He issued a nk check, which he didn''t need to cash in for the time being, thus clearing his conscience.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t care at all. The materials for refining the Cultivating Essence Pills were provided by the sect. Apart from handing in a portion of the Spirit Pills, he had also kept quite a few for himself. During his recent frenzy of Alchemy, he had indeed obtained a lot of good elixirs.


    This was both his privilege and his right. With the Spirit Pills in his hand, even if he didn''t give them to anyone, Mi Xiaojing naturally held a transcendent status.


    The two Spirit Pills could at least make Yong Ji more dedicated to protecting Mi Xiaojing, and let him realize Mi Xiaojing''s value. This would change his attitude towards Mi Xiaojing.


    Yong Ji said, "You can consider sending away the people around you during this period."


    Mi Xiaojing feigned confusion, "Why?"


    Yong Ji said, "Just send them away for now. As for the reason, you don''t need to think too much about it. You can bring them backter."


    Mi Xiaojing immediately understood. The higher-ups were clearlycking confidence in defending the sect. The reason Yong Ji reminded him was because he had received two Spirit Pills, so he revealed a bit of information.


    "Yes, Elder Yong, I will arrange it."


    "Good, if there are any problems, I will help you solve them."

 Chapter 176: Persuaded

    <h4>Chapter 176: Persuaded</h4>


    Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the sect would prevent him from sending people away, but with Yong Ji''s help, there would be no problem.


    Yong Ji was also a high-ranking member of the sect, an elder of the Sword Heart Hall, and was specifically responsible for the sect''s security and warfare.


    "Good!"


    Two medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pills in exchange for Yong Ji''s promise, it was a good deal. Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied. As long as Yong Ji helped, a lot of trouble could be saved.


    Yong Ji then followed Mi Xiaojing away from Lu Liu Manor, and the two quickly returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    Mi Xiaojing went directly to the backyard, while Yong Ji hurried back to his room. He was thinking about cultivating as soon as possible. If he could break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, his strength could greatly increase, and he should have no problem protecting himself in future battles.


    In the backyard, Luo Bo and others were cultivating. Even Zhang Ke was working hard to cultivate. The middle and lower-level disciples of the sect might not know the tension of the sect, but Mi Xiaojing and his group were very clear. The sect was in big trouble recently, especially the problem with the mountain protection formation, which was extremely serious.


    Only by working hard to cultivate and improve their strength could they have a chance to survive. This was something Mi Xiaojing often reminded them of. Everyone was from the Western Evolutionary Sect and understood this very well.


    The reason why the Western Evolutionary Sect was destroyed in the first ce was due to insufficient strength.


    Mi Xiaojing did not disturb everyone, but also found a ce to sit down and began to cultivate. His recent cultivation progress was extremely fast, reaching thete stage of Foundation Establishment. The next step was to umte crazily. Unfortunately, he could no longer rely on Spirit Pills. If Spirit Pills could supplement the power of the Starry Sky, he could really soar into the sky.


    Starry Sky Pill!


    He must make it in the future!


    Sitting down, calming down, entering the state, these three steps, Mi Xiaojing had mastered to the extreme. At this time, he felt the starlight entering his body. Even with his eyes closed, he could perceive a trace of silver-white starlight entering his body, slowly transforming into the power of the Starry Sky.


    This was a process of umtion, a process of grinding, which could not be rushed.


    Once immersed in cultivation, Mi Xiaojingpletely discarded his chaotic thoughts and began to work hard to transform the Starry Sky. Cultivation was a very enjoyable thing. Once immersed, it was hard to extricate oneself, especially when reaching a certain height, cultivation would also be a kind of enjoyment.


    Every cultivator who reached the Foundation Establishment stage was addicted to cultivation. If they didn''t cultivate for a day, they would truly feel extremely ufortable. The better the cultivation method, the top-notch cultivation method, the more so.


    The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art that Mi Xiaojing cultivated was a top-notch cultivation method, which also had this effect. The more he cultivated, the more he liked it, and the more he was immersed in it. This was the power of a top-notch method.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly ended this round of cultivation. Luo Bo and others also gathered around Mi Xiaojing and began to ask questions about cultivation as usual.


    Mi Xiaojing patiently answered. At this time, Luo Bo had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Relying on the rich Spiritual Qi of the Gathering Spring Courtyard and the Spirit Pills provided by Mi Xiaojing, his cultivation level was skyrocketing at an extremely fast speed. His cultivation speed was almost catching up with Mi Xiaojing.


    You should know that Mi Xiaojing had the Mantra Banner, a treasure, in his body.


    Luo Bo had already shown his talent for cultivation. As long as he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could help Mi Xiaojing. He was younger than Mi Xiaojing, but his cultivation speed was so fast that even Mi Xiaojing was quite surprised.


    Wei Fu and others were also doing well in cultivation. Even Zhang Ke, who had the worstprehension, was making rapid progress.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s cultivation speed was not slow either, but unfortunately, this was a cultivation sect, and the resources for Evolutionary Immortality were too scarce. Her Evolutionary Immortality was all taught by Mi Xiaojing. But Mi Xiaojing was not a Great Power of Evolutionary Immortality. Even with the Mantra Banner, what he could teach was very limited, and it all depended on Mu Xiaoyin''s own efforts.


    After a round of answers, Mi Xiaojing said, "I n to send you out to a city established by a rogue cultivator, um... Hidden Huo City. I have already arranged for someone to buy a residence there. You can live there for a while."


    Zhang Ke asked in confusion, "Why? Isn''t it good here?"


    Luo Bo also said, "Brother Xiao Mi, I want to be with you. I don''t want to go to any Hidden Huo City!"


    Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu all refused to leave. Their little heads shook vigorously. Mao Tou asked doubtfully, "Brother Xiao Mi, don''t you want us anymore..."


    As soon as these words came out, the children''s eyes turned red. They all went up to grab Mi Xiaojing''s arm and waistband, refusing to let go.


    Mu Xiaoyin also came up and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Little junior brother, why don''t you want us anymore..."


    Mi Xiaojing was both touched and had a headache. He really didn''t know how to exin. After a while, he said, "No, it''s not that I don''t want you..."


    Luo Bo said, "Then why do you want us to leave?"


    Mi Xiaojing helplessly said, "Alright, everyone let go first, sit down, and I''ll tell you what''s going on."


    Zhang Ke also persuaded, "Little uncle will not abandon everyone. Listen to little uncle, let go quickly."


    They all sat around Mi Xiaojing. Luo Bo said, "Alright, Brother Xiao Mi, why do you want us to leave?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s just a temporary avoidance. Go to Hidden Huo City toy low. Um, if something happens, I will also go. But I can''t leave now. I want you to go first. When I finish my business here, I will go to meet you. By the way, I have arranged for someone. When the timees, they will take you there directly with a small flying boat."


    Mu Xiaoyin, who knew a little more, said, "Is it because... um, you''re afraid the sect can''t hold on?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, in case the sect can''t hold on, I can fly and run fast. You can''t fly, and I don''t have a small flying boat in my hands. When the timees, there will be no way to escape. I can''t abandon you and escape by myself, can I?"Upon hearing these words, both Luo Bo and Wei Fu understood clearly. They also knew in their hearts that when the time came, if they couldn''t escape, Mi Xiaojing would definitely stay and fight to the death.


    If they couldn''t escape and couldn''t win in a fight, it would result in a situation where if one dies, all would perish. It was no wonder that Mi Xiaojing wanted to send everyone away first. It wasn''t that he didn''t want them around, but rather, he wanted to ensure their safety.


    Luo Bo simply said, "Alright, I agree. I''ll wait in Hidden Huo City!"


    Ever since Mi Xiaojing became aware of the world, he had been in the Western Evolutionary Sect. He considered the children of the sect, Zhang Ke, and even Mu Xiaoyin, as his own family.


    He didn''t know if he had parents and thought he was an abandoned orphan. Therefore, he cherished the few people before him and didn''t want them to get hurt. These were the people he had entrusted his emotions to.

 Chapter 177: Leave

    <h4>Chapter 177: Leave</h4>


    Because of the Western Evolutionary Sect, Mi Xiaojing did not be a radical or evil person. His nature was pure and kind.


    However, since arriving at the Heart Sect, under Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mi Xiaojing began to understand the cruelty of the Cultivation World. He gradually shed his innocence, but his inherent character remained unchanged. He did not like killing, which was a consequence of his Ascension.


    In the Heart Sect, Mi Xiaojing had only spent less than two years, but he had already experienced many cruel things. Coupled with Wang Weijun''s asional teachings, he was very wary of the world of cultivators. Even if he had no intention of harming others, he was always on guard.


    Soon everyone reached a consensus. This was also due to the fact that when the Western Evolutionary Sect was destroyed, the grandmaster screamed and fled, but none of them escaped. The grandmaster even lost his life because of this, leaving a deep impression on the children.


    If they had been prepared in advance, perhaps the oue would not have been like this.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Everyone pack up your things and be ready to leave at any time. Also, take whatever you can from the house." After all, they were used to being poor, and everything was valuable to them.


    Zhang Ke patted his chest and promised, "Don''t worry, little master, leave it to me. I''ll make sure everything is clean."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Hmm, everyone, keep practicing and strive to improve your strength. I will provide you with Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills."


    The cultivation methods had already been provided. As long as they didn''t die prematurely on the path of cultivation, following the pathid out by Mi Xiaojing, they would have no problem advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. Once they grew up, they would be a powerful force.


    Mi Xiaojing wanted to provide them with safety and resources for cultivation. After all, he was just a slightly older child. Without Wang Weijun''s help, life in the Heart Sect would have been very difficult for Mi Xiaojing.


    It was also because of Wang Weijun that Mi Xiaojing had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the Cultivation World. It was a ce where people could die at any moment. Cultivators without strength not only had no status, but also faced constant danger.


    This kind of Cultivation World forced every cultivator to practice desperately and strive to improve their own strength. Otherwise, they would really be eliminated.


    Cultivation methods, resources, good cultivation locations, and the support of reliablepanions were all things that cultivators needed to fight for, even snatch.


    Ascension was too far away. They didn''t need many resources and most of them practiced asceticism. Everything was done by themselves. The initial stage was too difficult, so under normal circumstances, they could only mix with ordinary people. It was too difficult for them to grow.


    Cultivators were different. They fought against the heavens, the earth, all kinds of demons and ghosts, and even fought endlessly among themselves. This cruel reality, on the contrary, promoted the great development of cultivators. Coupled with the extremely long history of cultivators, there were many talented people in ancient times. The treasures they left behind, even if only a small part was discovered, could bring great progress to the current cultivators in the Cultivation World.


    There were manys in this world with cultivators. Somes with a long history of cultivation had existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.


    Mi Xiaojing had to be careful every step of the way and could not be careless. Especially the information revealed by Yong Ji made him pay more attention. Mi Xiaojing knew in his heart that with his level of alchemy, the sect would never let him go. Once in danger, the elders would definitely arrange for someone to protect him.


    But as for Zhang Ke, Luo Bo and the others, the sect wouldn''t even bother to protect them, let alone give them a second nce.


    The atmosphere in the entire sect was bing more and more tense. Some of the movements and news from the higher-ups would leak out to some extent. Although the sect ordered not to spread the news, it was hard to block such things.


    Recently, both magical instruments and talismans were in short supply, especially the price of Spirit Pills, which had increased exponentially.


    The high-level members of the sect, that is, the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, had already begun to move their rtives and family members. The sect also organized a group of people to leave, many of whom were low-level disciples that the sect focused on cultivating. Their aptitude and potential were worth protecting by the sect. If anything happened to the sect, they would be the sect''s reserve force.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly arranged for escorts and rented a small Flying Boat. Not only did he send Zhang Ke and the others away, but he also sent the old vige chief and several farming households away. Although the battles between cultivators did not intentionally kill ordinary people, the idental injuries during the battles were too numerous.


    After sending Zhang Ke and his group away, the house suddenly became quiet. Only Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji were left in the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    Mi Xiaojing was very quiet during this period, always practicing hard. If he had spare time, he would take Yong Ji to practice alchemy. Yong Ji, following Mi Xiaojing, found that this child was really diligent. Apart from cultivation, he never went out to y. He didn''t seem like a child at all, which was probably why he had achieved so much.


    Moreover, Yong Ji often received some surprises. For example, Mi Xiaojing would asionally give him some Spirit Pills, Cultivating Essence Pills, or other types of Spirit Pills. As long as Yong Ji wanted them, Mi Xiaojing would give them to him. Even if he didn''t ask for them, Mi Xiaojing would give them to him.


    Mi Xiaojing''s attitude towards people basically depended on the other party. If you were kind to him, he would be good to you, although this was often mocked by Wang Weijun.


    Elder Yu Hong sat in the sect hall, with Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, and Azure Descent Immortal Maiden by his side. In front of the four of them sat two people, a man and a woman.


    The man was tall and thin, with a face like a skull, sunken eyes, and no hair on his head. Not only did he have no hair or beard, but he also had no eyebrows. His skin had an abnormal blue color, and he wore a ck and blue robe, giving off an extremely gloomy feeling.The woman was particrly unique, resembling a mountain of flesh. Sitting on a rush cushion, she was like a pyramid, with a triangr head, pointed at the top and t at the bottom. Her eyebrows were extremely thin, with the ends sharply raised. Her eyes were squeezed into a slit by her flesh, and she had a broad lion-like nose and mouth. Her mouth was not only huge but also incredibly red. She wore arge red cloak, and the fluctuations emanating from her body were even more fierce than the tall, thin man.


    These two were quite famous on Cangmin Star, a couple of cultivators, and they were also rogue cultivators. The man was named Yin Jin, with a cultivation level at thete stage of the Elemental Infant, the same as Yu Hong. The woman was named Brahman Sa, at the Great Perfection realm of the Elemental Infant.


    Both of them were friends of Yu Hong, and their rtionship was quite good, but they were not really close friends. The reason they came this time was because of Yu Hong''s invitation.


    Yu Hong invited them to help guard the sect. Yu Hong also knew that once the protective formation of the Heart Sect could not operate, the four great elders alone would not be able to defend the sect.


    Once the enemy broke into the sect, the four of them might be fine, but the others in the sect would be in a terrible situation. Therefore, they must block the enemy with high-end martial power. Only in this way would they have a chance to win, or at least minimize the loss to the sect. To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 178: Sword Heart Sect Aid

    <h4>Chapter 178: Sword Heart Sect Aid</h4>


    If he could settle these two, and then find one or two Elemental Infant stage cultivators, Yu Hong was confident he could kill several experts from the Vast Gold Sect. Unfortunately, there were not many high-level martial forces on Cangmin Star, and even fewer that he knew. It was really difficult to invite a master, and it would cost a hefty price.


    Yu Hong was able to invite these two, thanks to the reputation of the Nurturing Infant Pill, which had attracted these two rogue cultivator masters.


    If the sect''s pill supply was tight, then rogue cultivators were even morecking. High-level spirit pills, especially those above the Elemental Infant stage, were rarely avable to rogue cultivators. So when Yu Hong revealed that he had Nurturing Infant Pills and Hakutaku Pills, the two rogue cultivator masters could not resist such temptation and obediently came to the Heart Sect.


    Yu Hong produced a jade bottle from his hand and said, "Brother Yin, Sister Brahman, take a look at the spirit pill first." The jade bottle shot directly towards Brahman Sa.


    Brahman Sa did not catch it, but watched as the jade bottle flew towards her. When it was about to reach her chest, her fat body shook, and the jade bottlended on her stomach. She then slowly picked it up, her movements slow andzy. Brahman Sa''sziness was well-known among the cultivators of Cangmin Star.


    She would never stand if she could sit, and never sit if she could lie down. Her cultivation method was unique, focusing on eating and sleeping, which was why she was so fat.


    Despite her size, her strength was not to be underestimated. Even Yu Hong had to respectfully call her sister.


    Slowly opening the seal of the jade bottle and bringing it to her nose, Brahman Sa took a deep sniff. Then her face lit up, "Sofortable." Her voice was surprisingly soft and pleasant. If one didn''t see her appearance and only heard her voice, any man would be unable to resist!


    "Oh good, good spirit pill, I like it."


    Yin Jin remained expressionless, seemingly ustomed to Brahman Sa''s behavior. Yu Hong''s smile remained unchanged, only the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden subtly furrowed her brows, seemingly disliking Brahman Sa''s voice.


    Brahman Sa handed the jade bottle to Yin Jin, saying, "This is the Nurturing Infant Pill, a good thing. This is my first time seeing it. Just smelling it makes me feel sofortable."


    Mo Chentian also had a smile on his face, but it was a bitter one. This was his first time seeing Brahman Sa, and even though she was sitting, she gave him a great sense of crisis.


    Mu Hengyuan kept his head down, not saying a word. He looked down on this couple, considering them country bumpkins who had never seen the world.


    Sect cultivators naturally looked down on rogue cultivators. However, rogue cultivators who could cultivate to the Elemental Infant stage and above had the qualifications to be guests of honor in the sect.


    The individualbat power of rogue cultivators was always stronger than that of sect members. Those who could reach the Elemental Infant stage would definitely not be weak. Moreover, rogue cultivators were known for theirck of principles. They would follow whoever could provide them with benefits, a trait forced upon them by their circumstances.


    Rogue cultivators also needed cultivation resources and needed to improve their strength. For a cultivator without a sect, they had to gather everything themselves and would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Gradually, the reputation of rogue cultivators became quite poor.


    Yin Jin picked up the jade bottle and sniffed it. His eyes immediately lit up. For someone at his level of cultivation, progress was extremely difficult. He and Brahman Sa had been stuck at this stage for a very long time, always seeking the right spirit pill. He had heard of the Nurturing Infant Pill before, but this was his first time seeing it.


    Just by smelling the pill fragrance, Yin Jin felt his Elemental Infant bing active, as if it had been revitalized after a long drought. He felt as if his Elemental Infant was about to jump out and swallow the spirit pill. The urgent feeling was unbearable.


    "Good stuff! Brother Yu, if you need help with anything, just say it. My demands are not high, one Nurturing Infant Pill per person."


    "I want two! My strength is higher than his!"


    Brahman Sa loudly dered, reaching out to grab the jade bottle and tucking it into her bosom, disappearing somewhere on her body.


    Yin Jin gave a bitter smile, "Alright, alright, it''s yours."


    Yu Hong said, "Don''t be in a hurry to put it away. I haven''t stated my conditions yet." He was secretly pleased. Three lower-grade Nurturing Infant Pills in exchange for the help of two Elemental Infant stage masters, the Heart Sect had made a good deal.


    The most important thing was that Mi Xiaojing, this cheapbor, was too cost-effective. As long as Mi Xiaojing was there, as long as he kept refining pills, the sect''s high-end spirit pills would not be a problem. They could even use these spirit pills to exchange for the help of masters.


    For this reason, Yu Hong had specifically gone to the Heart Hall to inquire about Mi Xiaojing''s background. Mi Xiaojing''s background was very clear. The boy had no background, and in the Western Evolutionary Sect, he was just a small Evolutionary Immortal. He didn''t even know how to fight.


    Yu Hong even rewarded the elder who had decided to destroy the Western Evolutionary Sect. If it weren''t for their decision, how could they have obtained such a young genius Pill Master?The higher-ups of the Heart Sect had high praises for Mi Xiaojing. They considered him a genius Pill Master and a genius Cultivator. His potential and aptitude were top-notch. Yu Hong believed that this was all thanks to the Heart Sect. If Mi Xiaojing were to stay in the Western Evolutionary Sect, it would be a tremendous waste. He believed that Mi Xiaojing could see this point clearly.


    All these thoughts were merely a sh in his mind. Yu Hong smiled and said, "Actually, my conditions are very simple."


    Yin Jin and Brahman Sa were both staring at him. They knew very well the nature of the sect and also knew that the three Nurturing Infant Pills were not easy to obtain.


    "The Vast Gold Sect wants to annihte our Heart Sect. I need people to help guard the sect, and I also want the lives of the people from the Vast Gold Sect."


    The faces of Yin Jin and Brahman Sa instantly darkened. This task was not easy to aplish.


    Brahman Sa said, "I also know Radix Notoginseng. He''s not easy to deal with. To take his life... it seems like the price is far from enough."


    Yin Jin said, "Three Nurturing Infant Pills, at most, can help you guard the sect. Hmm, responsible for one direction, that would be a fair exchange. But to kill the opponent, that''s a bit difficult!"


    Yu Hongughed and said, "Brother Yin, how long has Sister Brahman been at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant?"


    Brahman Sa''s face turned even more unpleasant. She said, "Little brother, are you looking down on my cultivation level?"


    Yu Hongughed heartily and said, "Ha! Sister Brahman, are you joking with me? I just want to ask, you''ve been stuck at this stage for a long time, haven''t you? Do you want to break through?"


    Brahman Sa jumped up. Despite her plump figure, her speed was terrifying. Yu Hong saw a mountain of flesh rushing towards him and was so frightened that he teleported away, shouting, "Calm down! Calm down, Sister Brahman, calm down!"


    Brahman Sa''s face was full of excitement: "What do you mean? What do you mean!"


    Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden were all on guard. When a person at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant goes berserk, it''s no joke. It could really be deadly!


    Yu Hong said, "Calm down, Sister Brahman, calm down. I don''t know if you''ve heard of the Divine Pill..." To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 179: Preparing for battle

    <h4>Chapter 179: Preparing for battle</h4>


    This time, not only was Brahman Sa excited, but Yin Jin was also stirred up.


    They both knew what the Divine Pill was, especially Brahman Sa, who was well versed in various methods to break through the Elemental Infant stage. Even the legendary Spirit Pill was something she had heard of, and she knew about the Divine Pill very clearly.


    But knowing was useless if she couldn''t find any Spirit Pill. The kind of Spirit Pill that could help one break through from the Elemental Infant stage to the Divided Spirit stage was extremely rare, especially on Cangmin Star.


    So when she heard Yu Hong mention the Divine Pill, she was so excited that she jumped up on the spot.


    "Do you have it?" Brahman Sa''s voice trembled.


    Yu Hong said indifferently, "No!"


    Brahman Sa sat down on the ground like a deted ball. The entire hall trembled violently the moment she sat down. "What do you mean?" Her tone was quite unfriendly.


    Yin Jin''s face was gloomy, and he also stared at Yu Hong, feeling quite unhappy.


    Yu Hong said, "Just because I don''t have it now doesn''t mean I won''t have it in the future. Maybe it won''t be long before I do!"


    Having no other choice, he could only make empty promises. Yu Hong was betting on Mi Xiaojing''s development. He was betting that Mi Xiaojing would be able to refine the Divine Pill in the future. And he wasn''t worried about them turning against him. Even if he didn''t have it in the future, would he be afraid of two rogue cultivators trying to destroy the Heart Sect?


    Brahman Sa eximed in surprise, "You''ll have it in the future? Don''t tell me your sect has a Pill Master who can refine the Divine Pill!"


    Yu Hong always deflected such probes, "If our sect had such a Pill Master, I would have brought out the Divine Pill a long time ago. This is a transaction. Since it''s a transaction, I naturally can''t go into details. But rest assured, as long as Sister Brahman can kill a few of the opponents, especially Radix Notoginseng, once the Heart Sect survives this difficulty, I can definitely give you a Divine Pill!"


    Yu Hong had no burden in making empty promises. He spoke with righteousness and assurance, patting his chest in guarantee. He was indeed hoping that Mi Xiaojing could refine the Divine Pill. It didn''t matter if he couldn''t refine it now, there would always be a time when he could. As for whether the two would turn against him by then, he didn''t care.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin didn''t care much either. This was an opportunity, and with opportunity came risk. They were used to this and had their own ways of dealing with it.


    Brahman Sa said, "In that case, the conditions are different. First, give three Nurturing Infant Pills first. Second, give two Hakutaku Pills. Finally, once we fulfill our promise, you have to give a Divine Pill!"


    Yu Hongughed heartily, "Deal!"


    Everyone was overjoyed!


    ............


    The Heart Sect and the Vast Gold Sect were preparing for battle, and the two experts invited by the Heart Sect were staying in the guest rooms next to the main hall of the sect. The spiritual qi here was rich, and both of them were very satisfied.


    The atmosphere in the sect became even more tense. Those who remained in the sect, especially the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment stages, were extremely nervous. They knew more about the situation and were thinking about how to survive in this sect war.


    They couldn''t leave, and the sect didn''t allow them to leave.


    Lu Yu came to find Mi Xiaojing several times, hoping to get some low-level pills. Mi Xiaojing specially refined more than a dozen batches of pills for this, all of which were middle-grade and high-grade pills, especially high-grade pills.


    He hadpletely mastered the refining of low-level Spirit Pills, and could seed no matter how he refined them.


    This time, Mi Xiaojing didn''t trade for materials or weapons, he traded for Spirit Stones. If you want Spirit Pills, you have to buy them with Spirit Stones.


    This was because Mi Xiaojing already had his own weapons, had stockpiled arge number of talismans, and could refine Spirit Pills himself. What hecked now were Spirit Stones. These Spirit Stones were not for cultivation, but to cope with the consumption of the Azure Green Great Wood Banner Formation. This was his most powerful trump card for saving his life.


    In addition to Lu Yu, Yong Ji also ordered a lot of Spirit Pills for his own use and for trading. Most of his friends were Foundation Establishment stage experts. Mi Xiaojing made a lot of Spirit Stones just by selling Cultivating Essence Pills.


    At the same time, Mi Xiaojing was also searching for materials to refine the Starry Sky Pill. Unfortunately, these materials were too rare. The quantity was not much, but the main materials were hard toe by. They were materials from the universe and considered Earth Treasures. Such materials were usually only avable to cultivators above the Unity stage. Mi Xiaojing, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, had no way to ess them.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing had calcted that he would have to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before he could barely refine the Starry Sky Pill. With his current strength and level, even if he got the materials, he wouldn''t be able to refine them.


    However, Mi Xiaojing believed in preparing for a rainy day. Just because he couldn''t do it now didn''t mean he couldn''t do it in the future. If he came across materials for refining the Starry Sky Pill, he certainly wouldn''t let them go.


    But so far, Mi Xiaojing hadn''t obtained a single material. But he wasn''t discouraged and continued to search.


    Many people in the sect were in fear. In order to exchange for Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills, various talismans, and weapons, these people threw out a lot of materials, causing the price of materials to be very cheap. Mi Xiaojing took this opportunity to collect some materials. The quantity was not much, but they were all high-quality alchemy materials.


    This was what they meant by taking advantage of a fire. Taking advantage of the panic in the sect, Mi Xiaojing made a big profit, which temporarily made him rich. Of course, in the Cultivation World, as long as a Pill Master was slightly powerful, he wouldn''t be poor.


    Mi Xiaojing had also be rich. Relying on the skills and experience taught by Wang Weijun, he made a fortune.


    One day, Mi Xiaojing came to the room where the Pill Cauldrons were stored again. Guan Shangli opened the door. Now, Mi Xiaojing had the right to take any Pill Cauldron. Since Hong Qing was missing and Chen Shouyi was in seclusion, many things in the Grass-Benevolence Hall could be handled by Mi Xiaojing. However, he was toozy to manage the affairs of the Grass-Benevolence Hall.This Pill Cauldron was the one that Wang Weijun had set his eyes on initially. There were two, one good and one bad. At that time, Mi Xiaojing had chosen the good one, which was the zing Cloud Cauldron. However, he no longer needed the zing Cloud Cauldron, as he was currently using Chen Shouyi''s Pill Cauldron.


    As for the other damaged Pill Cauldron, he had already found the materials to repair it. The Mirror Gang Stone he had obtained was enough for the repair.


    What made Mi Xiaojing most happy was that Guan Shangli no longer mentioned wanting the zing Cloud Cauldron. ording to Guan Shangli, as long as Mi Xiaojing had time in the future, he could return any one of the Pill Cauldrons to the storage room. In essence, this was an acknowledgment that Mi Xiaojing owned two Pill Cauldrons.


    Back at the Gathering Spring Vi, Mi Xiaojing took out the newly acquired Pill Cauldron. This Pill Cauldron looked dark and unremarkable. He didn''t know much about Pill Cauldrons and could only rely on Wang Weijun''s guidance.


    "What''s so good about this Pill Cauldron?"


    "With your discernment, of course, you can''t see it. You don''t understand Pill Cauldrons!"


    "You..."


    Mi Xiaojing was left speechless, this old man was bing more and more arrogant.

 Chapter 180: Wang Weijuns cave mansion

    <h4>Chapter 180: Wang Weijun''s cave mansion</h4>


    "This is a Fetal Nourishing Cauldron. If you refine it well, you can use it for alchemy after Foundation Establishment. Of course, under my guidance, you should improve the grade of the Pill Cauldron!"


    Mi Xiaojing found that this guy was not only arrogant but also very smug. He asked, "Should I refine it now?"


    "No, you currently have a Pill Cauldron for alchemy, so there''s no need to use this one for now. Besides, your cultivation level is rtively low, so it would be difficult to upgrade the Fetal Nourishing Cauldron."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "The name of this Pill Cauldron is some. Is it the original name? How about we change it? I think the zing Cloud Cauldron sounds much better!"


    .


    "No, it''s just a name I casually came up with..."


    "What? That''s too... So, the zing Cloud Cauldron is also a random name?"


    "Idiot, the name zing Cloud Cauldron is engraved on the Pill Cauldron. You don''t pay attention to details at all..."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t believe it, so he took out the zing Cloud Cauldron from his storage bracelet. Sure enough, he saw three ancient characters at the bottom of the Pill Cauldron, which indeed read "zing Cloud Cauldron". Mi Xiaojing was speechless. He looked at the new Pill Cauldron he had just received, and there was not a single character on it.


    No matter how he looked at it, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t see anything special about this Pill Cauldron.


    "Idiot, you already have Divine Sense... Can what you see with your eyes be the same as what you see with your Divine Sense? When a cultivator observes something, if they really want to be meticulous, they must use their Divine Sense! You are now a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, not at the Qi Refining stage. You''re still using your eyes to observe an object, it''s driving me crazy!"


    Mi Xiaojing was a bit annoyed by the scolding. Although he knew Wang Weijun was right, he was not happy with being called an idiot all the time: "Are you angry? Then you can go die for a while."


    For some reason, he blurted out this sentence, and he felt much better after saying it.


    "Gah!"


    Wang Weijun was stunned. This guy had been getting a bit carried away recently, and he didn''t expect to be scolded by Mi Xiaojing. He instinctively wanted to retort, but then he thought, no! He couldn''t retort like that. He had finally gained Mi Xiaojing''s approval. If they had a falling out, he would be the one to suffer in the end. He had to maintain Mi Xiaojing''s absolute trust.


    "Alright, I''ll go die for a while."


    Wang Weijun disappeared from the Heart Tower. He went back to the Mantra Banner, while secretly observing Mi Xiaojing''s reaction.


    "Uh..."


    This time it was Mi Xiaojing''s turn to be stunned. He really went back! When did this old man be so sensitive? Actually, he was already feeling a bit regretful. Although Wang Weijun kept calling him an idiot, he was indeed giving him guidance.


    Mi Xiaojing reflected on his actions and felt that he had gone a bit too far. However, he didn''t apologize and chose to remain silent. He couldn''t let Wang Weijun develop the habit of scolding people, as it was too frustrating.


    Both of them stopped talking. Wang Weijun noticed that Mi Xiaojing was also silent, and he couldn''t help but feel a bit anxious. His goal was simple: to gain Mi Xiaojing''s trust and seize the opportunity to take over Mi Xiaojing''s body. He didn''t expect that his habitual scolding would annoy Mi Xiaojing, and he also regretted it.


    He began to ponder how to restart the conversation with Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing quickly put this matter aside. He began to examine the Pill Cauldron with his Divine Sense ording to Wang Weijun''s instructions. This time, he found that it was indeed different.


    The structure of this Pill Cauldron was veryplex, withyers of spirit patterns, at least one grade higher than the zing Cloud Cauldron. Then he noticed that the mouth of the cauldron had been blown open. Mi Xiaojing knew that this was a problem that urred during the condensation process when refining a certain Spirit Pill.


    Theplex spirit pattern array had lost its function.


    The other parts were intact. In fact, Mi Xiaojing could see that these Pill Cauldrons, whether it was the zing Cloud Cauldron he had obtained before, Chen Shouyi''s gourd-shapedrge Pill Cauldron, or the current Fetal Nourishing Cauldron, were all nameless Pill Cauldrons in the Cultivation World, and they couldn''t be considered famous artifacts at all.


    If he really wanted to improve his alchemy skills and increase the sess rate of pill production, he would need a better Pill Cauldron.


    "Sigh, this Pill Cauldron is just so-so, it''s not good at all."


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but sigh. Just then, Wang Weijun spoke up.


    "Actually, I have a very good Pill Cauldron... in the cave where I secluded myself."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to have a falling out with Wang Weijun. When he heard him speak, he immediately asked, "Oh, what kind of Pill Cauldron? Can we get it?"


    Wang Weijun sighed secretly. The reason why he didn''t put his Pill Cauldron into the Immortal Pouch was that he was refining a batch of pills in his Pill Cauldron. That batch of pills needed a period of nurturing to cultivate their spirituality.


    The time span for this kind of thing was at least a decade, and the longer the better. That''s why he had always kept it in his cave.


    "We can get it, but it should be very far from here. Even with my guidance, you need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage to enter my cave. Even if you stand in front of my cave now, you still can''t get in."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Could any experts break in?"


    Wang Weijun proudly raised his head: "Not to brag, but even if all the Elemental Infant stage experts from the Heart Sect were to join forces, they wouldn''t be able to enter my cave, no matter what methods they used. Even cultivators at a higher level would be useless!"


    "Really? Is it that powerful?"


    "Of course! Absolutely!"


    The old man was being arrogant again. Mi Xiaojing said, "Then it''s very safe. When we have time, we can go and take a look... Besides the Pill Cauldron, can we also get a batch of pills? Haha, wouldn''t that be a profit?"


    Wang Weijun thought to himself, "Profit my ass. I''ll give it to you first, and when I take over your body, everything will be mine! It''s not a big deal to give you something else first."


    He said, "Yes! Yes! You''re the one who will profit. Don''t worry, I will guide you to get it!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t think too much about it. He didn''t wonder why Wang Weijun was so enthusiastic about giving him his things, or why Wang Weijun, who had a cave outside, was still in his body. After all, he was still a child and couldn''t think of many things.However, Mi Xiaojing was also growing rapidly. Under the guidance of Wang Weijun, an old hand in the Cultivation World, even the purest child would gradually be impure.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing had his own thoughts on many things, such as his true thoughts, which he had never shared with Wang Weijun.


    What he discussed most with Wang Weijun were various inheritances, various alchemy methods, various skills, and issues rted to cultivation. However, he never discussed his own thoughts, his understanding of the Cultivation World, or his views on Cultivators with Wang Weijun.


    Generally speaking, it was Wang Weijun who spoke, and Mi Xiaojing who listened.


    "Good, go get it when the timees!"

 Chapter 181: Natural disaster

    <h4>Chapter 181: Natural disaster</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay much attention to it. His current Pill Cauldron was enough for him, and he didn''t have an urgent need for a higher-level Pill Cauldron. As long as the Spirit Pills were enough for his use and could be exchanged for money, it was fine.


    At this time, Mi Xiaojing received a paper owl from Lu Yu. Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, Wei Fu, Mao Tou, Da Zhu, Mu Xiaoyin, and the old vige chief had all arrived at Hidden Huo City, which reassured Mi Xiaojing.


    Upon receiving this news, Mi Xiaojing finally rxedpletely. As long as they were safe, he could adapt to changes. No matter what, once the sect was breached, he would definitely be the first to flee. Although he had already possessed a certain level of martial power, he had never thought of fighting to the death for the Heart Sect.


    So, he could cultivate and refine pills with peace of mind!


    Mi Xiaojing finally settled down. As for the various disturbances and pressures of the sect, they had no impact on him. Enhancing his own strength was the real deal.


    Days passed, and the Heart Sect gradually calmed down because the experts from the Vast Gold Sect had note.


    The lower-level cultivators all rxed, but the higher-level cultivators in the sect became more and more nervous. They all knew that the longer the dy, the more prepared the other party would be.


    Mi Xiaojing was now in thete stage of Foundation Establishment and had recently begun to attack the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. It had to be said that the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was extraordinary, and Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level was growing rapidly. The only thing that troubled him was that the effect of the Cultivating Essence Pill was bing smaller and smaller for him.


    Wang Weijun had exined this point. Because Mi Xiaojing absorbed starlight, the effect of the Spirit Pills with spiritual Qi properties would be smaller and smaller. If he established his foundation, the Spirit Pills that ordinary people used would basically be useless. Unless he refined his own exclusive Spirit Pills, this kind of pill was recorded in the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art.


    The main problem was that the materials were hard to find, and Mi Xiaojing had to search for them himself.


    Boom!


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly stood up, and Yong Ji flew out of the room window andnded beside Mi Xiaojing on guard.


    "Is someone attacking the sect?"


    Before Mi Xiaojing''s words fell, the earth began to tremble violently again. The buildings in the Gathering Spring Courtyard were also shaking violently, and the entire courtyard''s prohibition began to sh.


    Andslide formed in the distant mountains, and a huge cloud of dust was raised in the rumbling sound.


    Yong Ji gritted his teeth and said, "It''s not an attack, it''s an earthquake!"


    Numerous sword shadows flew out in the sky, and many cultivators flew into the air, looking at the ground below with uncertainty.


    Mi Xiaojing also felt that the ground was shaking violently. He flew into the air with his sword, and Yong Ji followed him up. Such a tremor, the Mountain Protection Great Sword Array did not even start. If the array was started and reversed, it could immediately suppress the earthquake. Unfortunately, the core of the Sword Array was damaged, and the sect had no intention of starting it.


    "Another earthquake... I don''t know what''s going on recently, it feels so unrest!"


    Yong Ji said, "Yes, it''s really strange. I''ve been here for so many years, and it''s never been as unrest as it is recently. I don''t know what the reason is?" He was truly puzzled. The Heart Sect had always been stable in the past, but now not only did the experts from the Vast Gold Secte to take revenge, but even the earth was unstable, with frequent earthquakes and floods.


    Fortunately, the Vast Gold Sect did not attack at this time, otherwise it would really be a mess.


    The sky was full of the figures of cultivators, all of them were the power of the Foundation Establishment stage or above in the sect. Mi Xiaojing observed a little and was shocked. In his field of vision, there were at least hundreds of people, and there were people he couldn''t see. This was a huge force.


    Mi Xiaojing had never known that the Heart Sect had so many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and the Foundation Establishment stage. He couldn''t help but ask, "Uncle Master Yong, how many experts in the Foundation Establishment stage and the Foundation Establishment stage does the sect have?"


    Yong Ji said, "I don''t know... Anyway, there are quite a few."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless, "How many do you estimate?"


    Yong Ji looked at Mi Xiaojing strangely, "Maybe three hundred, maybe eight hundred... Who cares about this."


    .


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There are quite a few!"


    Yong Ji said, "No one calctes this. The number of people in the sect is inurate. Many people are not in the sect. What you see now is just a small part. Some people leave the sect to gain experience, some peoplee back, some people advance, who is full and has nothing to do, to calcte this number."


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly understood. The Heart Sect was sorge that its management was quite rough. No wonder he, a small Evolutionary Immortal from the Western Evolutionary Sect, could climb to this position. The number of cultivators in the entire Heart Sect seemed to be a mess. For example, Tian Cang, who had been out for a long time and was thought to have died outside, ran back. It was estimated that there were not a few people like this.


    "When you go out to gain experience, will the seniors who advance to the Elemental Infant stagee back to the sect?"


    Mi Xiaojing was very curious about this.


    Yong Ji said, "Most of them wille back to take a look, and a few will stay. When they reach the Elemental Infant stage, they prefer to go to other stars to find their own opportunities. If they stay in the Heart Sect, their development will be slower."


    "Uncle Master Yong, if you reach the Elemental Infant stage, will you note back if you go out?"


    Yong Ji was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he sighed, "I wille back, and I will cultivate in the sect..." He was Yu Hong''s direct disciple and had enjoyed great benefits from the sect, so he had to give back to the sect and guard the sect for a long time.


    At least before thete stage of the Elemental Infant, he could not leave.


    Mi Xiaojing thought it made sense. If the sect trained people and they all ran outside, the sect would be finished.


    "So, does the sect have other experts in the Elemental Infant stage? They just didn''te back?"


    "Of course, there are quite a few, but they can''te back unless they happen to pass by Cangmin Star... They mighte back, but there are none at the moment!"


    Mi Xiaojing already had the concept of a star, because the cultivation method he practiced was a method of absorbing starlight, so he naturally understood what a star was.


    As for other stars, they only existed in Mi Xiaojing''s imagination for the time being. He didn''t know what they were like, because he had never been there.ording to the records of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, each beam of starlight is a massive luminous celestial body, and around these bright celestial bodies, there may exists suitable for cultivators to inhabit.


    The ground was still shaking violently, but Mi Xiaojing was looking up at the sky. Even though it was daytime and not a single star could be seen, he could still feel their presence because his cultivation technique required the absorption of starlight.


    Yong Ji said, "Stop looking, you can''t see anything. Besides, going to an alien is not easy if your strength is too low. One misstep could lead to death. It''s better for you to stay in the sect and cultivate properly."


    Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "To go to an alien, do we use a teleportation array?"


    Yong Jiughed and said, "Do you think you can fly there? Haha!"


    Wang Weijun sneered in Mi Xiaojing''s heart tower, "Ignorant! A true Great Power can fly there!"


    "How to fly?"


    "Have you never heard of the Starry Sky Translocation? That''s flying!"


    "No, I''ve never heard of the Starry Sky Translocation. By the way, old man, do you know how to perform this Starry Sky Translocation?" (Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Chapter 182: Man-made disaster

    <h4>Chapter 182: Man-made disaster</h4>


    "Of course not!"


    Wang Weijun confidently said, "What I''m referring to are the Great Powers. Among cultivators, only one type of person can be called a Great Power, and that is the master of the Mahayana stage!"


    Mi Xiaojing, the curious baby, asked, "Who else can?"


    "Top-tier demonic spirits, great devils... But in this realm, you basically can''t see these. Well, immortals and the like go without saying. Loose Immortals, top-tier demonic beasts can also do it. Oh, and ten-thousand-year-old spirits and the like can do it too. Otherwise, relying on Immortal Tools and consuming a certain amount of immortal jade, you can also traverse the starry sky."


    "Wow! That''s amazing!"


    "Right, there''s also you Evolutionary Immortals... Great Powers of Evolutionary Immortality can also do it."


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned. He just realized that powerful Evolutionary Immortals were not inferior to cultivators at all. He was even more determined in his heart that he must not give up on Evolutionary Immortality. He must work hard and diligently cultivate, just like cultivation.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing silent, Yong Ji said, "When you grow up, you will have the chance to go to other stars."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded. Of course, he would go. His cultivation method had determined that his future path must be to venture to variouss and find what he needed.


    Whether it''s a cultivator or an Evolutionary Immortal, they all value experience very much. Only by experiencing everything in the world can one transcend the mundane, break free from fate, and surpass everything.


    .


    "Yes, I''m very curious about what other stars are like."


    Yong Ji felt the same. Every cultivator is like this. No cultivator wants to grow old in one ce. After they cultivate to a certain realm, they will have the desire to go out. As their cultivation level increases, this desire will be stronger and stronger.


    Ordinary people want to go out and walk around, within a hundred miles, at most a few hundred miles.


    Mid-to-low level cultivators want to go out and walk around, that would be the entire.


    And high-level cultivators want to go out and walk around, that would be the vast starry universe.


    Top-tier cultivators, whether they are cultivators, Evolutionary Immortals, demonic cultivators, or ghost cultivators, their targets are all in the various great realms.


    The vast starry universe contains everything. Whether it''s the Immortal Realm or any other realm, they are all located in the vast starry universe. But if you haven''t reached a certain realm, you can''t enter no matter what.


    This world is very big. The Cangmin Star where Mi Xiaojing is located is like a grain of sand in the desert. There are countless sands outside that he has never seen.


    But with his current strength, he can''t even run far on Cangmin Star. For Mi Xiaojing, Cangmin Star is already very big.


    The ground shook and the mountains swayed,sting for more than ten minutes. The Nine Peaks and One Mountain were shaken beyond recognition. Dust and smoke rose up, and looking around, it was like a battlefield.


    The mountain copsed, houses copsed, ancient trees broke, and the entire sect was in a mess. Fortunately, this was a cultivation sect. Cultivators were stronger than ordinary people in all aspects. Even if they were buried under the ruins, they could break out.


    The ordinary people who stayed in the sect were really unlucky and suffered many casualties.


    When the ground stopped shaking, most of the cultivators began to descend, and some were flying around in chaos, not knowing what they were looking for.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Jinded on the ground. Cracks appeared on the buildings of the Gathering Spring Courtyard. Yong Ji shook his head and said, "I will notify someone to repair it. We can''t live here for now. Let''s go to the backyard to cultivate."


    The ce for cultivation in the backyard was protected by prohibitions. The two of them arrived in the backyard, where everything was intact.


    The best ce in the backyard was the bamboo pavilion. However, Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation had little to do with Spiritual Qi, so he gave the best spot to Yong Ji.


    Yong Ji nodded and didn''t refuse. He also liked this spot very much. The richness of the Spiritual Qi was not inferior to that of the main hall of the sect.


    When Mi Xiaojing''s gaze swept over the Three-Eyed Spiritual Spring, he couldn''t help but exim, "This... it''s actually red..."


    The water gushing out of the Spiritual Spring was actually a faint red, and even the water in the small pond had turned a light red,pletely different from the original green.


    The two of them looked at each other, both feeling a sense of unease. Cultivators have strong intuition. Even if Mi Xiaojing didn''t have a good impression of the Heart Sect, he could still feel the oppressive atmosphere before the storm.


    Yong Ji''s face was serious, but he didn''t speak. Instead, he walked to the bamboo pavilion and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.


    Although the water gushing out of the Three-Eyed Spiritual Spring turned red, the Spiritual Qi was still there, and it was even richer than the Spiritual Qi brought out before.


    Mi Xiaojing sighed quietly, found his usual meditation spot, and also sat down cross-legged. However, he didn''t cultivate, but instead asked Wang Weijun, because he was really curious why the water from the Spiritual Spring would turn red.


    "Old man, why did the water from the Spiritual Spring turn red?"


    "Don''t make a fuss about nothing. What''s so strange... Don''t mention the red water, I''ve even seen the Spiritual Spring spewing out magma... Uh, it is indeed strange..."


    Thest "it is indeed strange", Wang Weijun''s voice was very low. He had also noticed something wrong. This was not the wilderness, but the sect. There was usually something suppressing underground in the sect, such as the Mountain Protecting Great Sword Formation. But even if the Mountain Protecting Great Sword Formation was damaged, the ground shouldn''t shake like this.


    "What''s strange?"


    Mi Xiaojing asked again, "Is there something wrong?"


    Wang Weijun pondered for a long time before saying, "I guess, this earthquake is not a natural phenomenon, it should be man-made... But the Heart Sect can''t resist the opponent''s magical power and cultivation level... That''s what I find strange."


    In Wang Weijun''s view, this was a very contradictory matter. The opponent could make the entire sect shake, and their power was incredibly huge. It would only take a moment to break the Heart Sect''s Mountain Protecting Great Sword Formation. If it was the Vast Gold Sect that caused this, they wouldn''t have needed to attack so hard before.


    But if it wasn''t the Vast Gold Sect, then who was it?


    No Great Power would shake the foundation of a sect for no reason. But this unreasonable thing happened, which waspletely baffling. It was like the male and female masters who attacked him for no reason. There must be a reason for this, but Wang Weijun couldn''t figure it out no matter what.


    Every time he thought of the two people who attacked him, Wang Weijun felt a surge of resentment. But until now, he still couldn''t figure out where he had offended them.


    Just like now, he couldn''t figure out why a Great Power would deal with a small Heart Sect.Mi Xiaojing waspletely baffled, he really couldn''t understand Wang Weijun''s words, "What does this mean?"


    Wang Weijun shook his head and said, "I can''t figure it out either. You should be careful. If something goes wrong, it''s better to run first."


    Mi Xiaojing agreed with this view. If anything changed, he would run at the first opportunity. He wouldn''t risk his life for the Heart Sect.


    "Right, I will run. I just don''t know when the Vast Gold Sect will make their move."


    "Soon, very soon. Based on my experience, when the people you send out are ambushed on the road, the attack is imminent..."


    At this moment, Yong Ji suddenly stood up. He only had time to say, "Don''t leave here!" Then he turned into a sword rainbow and flew directly towards the main peak.


    The Gathering Spring was located at the foot of the main peak. Watching Yong Ji turn into a sword rainbow, Mi Xiaojing felt an inexplicable thump in his heart.

 Chapter 183: Vast Gold Sects actions

    <h4>Chapter 183: Vast Gold Sect''s actions</h4>


    About half an hourter, Yong Ji returned to the Gathering Spring residence, his facepletely changed.


    Mi Xiaojing went up to him and asked, "What happened?"


    Yong Ji gave a bitter smile and said, "The sect''srge sword boat was shot down, disciples were heavily injured and killed, and Elder Mu is seriously injured..."


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but exim in surprise. Wang Weijun had just predicted that something was about to happen, and it really did. He also knew that thisrge sword boat was the sect''srgest and best transportation tool. It was the same flying boat that brought them over when the Western Evolutionary Sect was destroyed.


    This time, therge sword boat left to transport the sect''s potential disciples. Unexpectedly, it was shot down by the experts of the Vast Gold Sect. The disciples on therge sword boat were likely all ughtered.


    Yong Ji said, "Do you still have Nurturing Infant Pills here? Oh, and I also need a Hakutaku Pill!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t refuse. He said, "Yes, I have both Nurturing Infant Pills and Hakutaku Pills. Elder Yong, are these for treating Elder Mu''s injuries?" He was puzzled. He had already given the sect quite a few pills before, so why were they asking for more?


    Of course, he couldn''t voice these thoughts. Since Yong Ji asked for them, he would give them. Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t fuss over this. He took out two ss bottles and handed them to Yong Ji.


    Yong Ji took the ss bottles, opened them and inspected them. He found that both were mid-grade pills and nodded in satisfaction. He said, "The sect willpensate you." After saying this, he turned into a sword rainbow again and said, "Wait for me here."


    Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian, "Old man, what should I do? Should I run away now?"


    "Run away now? The enemy hasn''t attacked yet. Of course, you should wait until the sect is inplete chaos before running! If you run now, it will be too obvious. Even if the sect values you, once they withstand this attack, they will find you. The consequences then will definitely not be good."


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and had to admit that Wang Weijun made sense, "Alright, let''s wait then."


    "Actually, we won''t have to wait long. Since the enemy has started to block us, they should attack soon. Haha, the Heart Sect is in big trouble this time, this is going to be fun..."


    Wang Weijun''s schadenfreude was evident in his words. He was eager for chaos, fearing that a powerful person might suddenly appear and see through Mi Xiaojing. If that happened, it would be aplete tragedy for him.


    The only thing Wang Weijun could do was to remind Mi Xiaojing not to fall into this trap. If Mi Xiaojing was finished, it would mean that he was finished too. Wang Weijun certainly couldn''t let this happen.


    So, in reality, Wang Weijun was even more nervous than Mi Xiaojing. To seize Mi Xiaojing''s body, Mi Xiaojing had to be alive first. If he died, there would be no chance. Moreover, he only had one chance to seize the body. If he missed it, he would bepletely finished, disappearing like smoke in thin air, and there would be no more Wang Weijun in this world.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t think too much and continued to cultivate.


    Soon, Yong Ji returned. He came to Mi Xiaojing, put down a pile of Spirit Stones, and then went back to the bamboo pavilion to cultivate. This was thepensation the sect gave to Mi Xiaojing.


    When Mi Xiaojing finished cultivating, he saw a pile of Spirit Stones in front of him. He counted them and found that there were less than a thousand Spirit Stones. It was better than what he had given to the sect, but if he took them to the market, these Spirit Stones wouldn''t even be enough to exchange for a Hakutaku Pill, let alone a Nurturing Infant Pill.


    However, Mi Xiaojing wasn''t upset. After all, the materials for his alchemy were all provided by the sect, and even the alchemy site and the Pill Cauldron belonged to the sect. There was almost no cost, and it was all pure profit. Even if the sect didn''t reward him, he wouldn''t feel bad. ording to his thinking, as long as he could refine pills himself and worked hard, he would have plenty of Spirit Pills in the future.


    Moreover, during the previous period of crazy alchemy, he had umted a lot of Spirit Pills, including mid-grade pills and even a few high-grade pills that were identally sessful. Mi Xiaojing used the ancient method of alchemy, which was much more efficient than the current method. If it weren''t for his cultivation level not keeping up, the chance of condensing high-grade pills would be greater.


    As for low-grade pills, Mi Xiaojing could now produce high-grade pills more than 60% of the time, and there was even a certain chance of producing top-grade pills. Of course, the number of top-grade pills was not many. Every time he got one, he would carefully store it away.


    Mi Xiaojing had actually reached the stage where he could attempt to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. During this period, he had been umting Starry Sky power, but unfortunately, he couldn''t get the Starry Sky Pill, a treasure that stored Starry Sky power. He knew in his heart that without the extra Starry Sky power to supplement, it would be very difficult to reach the Great Perfection stage with his own cultivation level alone.


    Even Wang Weijun didn''t have a solution to this problem. Firstly, he had never practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art. Secondly, he didn''t know much about this technique. He had only recently started to study it a little, and he hadn''t thoroughly researched it.


    If it weren''t for the need to win Mi Xiaojing''s trust, he wouldn''t bother studying this technique.


    With no other choice, Mi Xiaojing could only use the most clumsy method, which was to persist in cultivating every day. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to advance naturally one day.


    Wang Weijun also supported this. Mi Xiaojing''s progress in the early stage was too fast, and his foundation was inevitably a bit unstable. It was still not toote to settle down at this time, especially the understanding of the realm. So, he didn''t say much.


    For three whole days, the sect was dead silent. All the cultivators were cultivating like crazy, sharpening their weapons before the battle, even if they weren''t fast, they were diligent.


    Everyone knew that the big battle was about toe, and many people understood that there was a problem with the sect''s mountain protection formation. This time, there would be no sword formation to protect them. They could only face the enemy and drive them away through battle.


    On the fourth day, Yong Ji received a message and immediately took Mi Xiaojing to the sect''s main hall.


    Before they even entered the main hall, Mi Xiaojing saw many cultivatorsnding. With just a nce, he saw at least a hundred Foundation Establishment and Core Formation experts. He also saw Chen Shouyi among them.Chen Shouyi also saw Mi Xiaojing. His expression was indifferent, his eyes fixed on Mi Xiaojing without any emotion, as if he was looking at a tree or a rock.


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly grinned, his mouth moving silently, but the shape of his lips revealed a phrase: "What can you do to me?"


    Since Chen Shouyi had been staring at Mi Xiaojing, he instantly understood what he meant. He suddenlyughed too, but hisughter was extremely stiff, a ssic case of a forced smile.


    Mi Xiaojing''s lip shape changed again: "Your smile is so ugly!"


    Yong Ji asked curiously, "What are you eating?"


    Mi Xiaojing just moved his mouth. Hearing Yong Ji''s words, he felt somewhat speechless. He said, "No, I''m not eating anything, my mouth is just itchy..."


    Yong Ji almostughed out loud. He followed Mi Xiaojing''s gaze and immediately saw Chen Shouyi.


    Seeing Yong Ji looking over, Chen Shouyi quickly turned his stiff old face away. Yong Ji instantly understood and sighed quietly to himself, but he didn''t say anything.

 Chapter 184: Assemble

    <h4>Chapter 184: Assemble</h4>


    Chen Shouyi was seething with anger. He knew that Yong Ji was sent by the sect to protect Mi Xiaojing. Now, in the eyes of the sect''s higher-ups, Mi Xiaojing was a precious gem, and they would never allow him to be harmed.


    His anger burned like a me, assaulting his heart in waves.


    Upon further reflection, Chen Shouyi felt a wave of sorrow. The Heart Sect was a microcosm of the Cultivation World. Once you lost a certain status, it was extremely difficult to regain it. He had served the sect for so many years, not to mention his contributions and hard work, even a word offort would be good. But the higher-ups of the sect simply ignored him.


    "Just give me a chance, and I''ll kill you!" Chen Shouyi thought, his head lowered, teeth gritted.


    Someone at the entrance of the main hall said, "Foundation Establishment cultivators stay outside, those at the Foundation Establishment stage enter the main hall."


    Mi Xiaojing had just stopped when Yong Ji said, "You don''t have to stay outside,e in with me."


    Many people around heard Yong Ji''s words and looked at Mi Xiaojing curiously. Many of them had seen Mi Xiaojing before and suddenly realized that this child was currently the favorite in the eyes of the sect''s higher-ups.


    There were also many people who didn''t recognize Mi Xiaojing. Seeing his attire, they knew he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn''t help but ask the people around them.


    Immediately, discussions broke out.


    A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered outside the main hall, chattering away.


    "Who is this? So young... and already at the Foundation Establishment stage?"


    "Why can he go in? He''s not a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, huh... isn''t that Elder Yong next to him?"


    "Who is that next to Elder Yong?"


    "You guys don''t even know this? That kid is a Pill Master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, a master of Alchemy!"


    "Don''t talk nonsense, I believe he''s a Pill Master, but a master of Alchemy? Isn''t Uncle Chen Shouyi an Alchemy Grandmaster..."


    "I''m not sure about the rest, but I know that Uncle Chen can''t refine Spirit Pills for the Elemental Infant stage, hehe, but this kid can!"


    "What''s his name?"


    "Mi Xiaojing!"


    "That''s... impressive. Spirit Pills for the Elemental Infant stage... that''s terrifying. Is he a reincarnated senior?"


    "I heard he''s not. Reincarnated people usually have someone to guide them. This kid was brought back from a small Evolutionary Immortality sect andter converted to Cultivation... His cultivation speed, tsk tsk, we''ve all been outdone. I heard this kid has great potential and a genius level ofprehension. He''s currently a key cultivation target of the sect."


    ...


    "He really went in, he entered the main hall..."


    "Damn it, I''m at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but I''m still standing outside the main hall, while a kid gets to go in. I''m so embarrassed..."


    "Embarrassed... and you''re still standing in front of me!"


    Outside the main hall, Tian Cang also saw this scene and was quite shocked. He remembered that when he first returned to the sect, he had a fight with Mi Xiaojing over a residence.


    Although he lost miserably, he didn''t think Mi Xiaojing was anything special. But now he knew he was wrong. Mi Xiaojing was not someone he couldpare to.


    Another person was also watching Mi Xiaojing, and that was Han Chang. He was at thete stage of Foundation Establishment and had a hand in destroying the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing enter the main hall, Han Chang felt a surge of unease. He regretted not killing all those children back then. But regret was useless now. Mi Xiaojing''s growth made him feel a great threat, especially since he had once blocked Mi Xiaojing''s path.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t recognize Mi Xiaojing back then, nor did he see his potential. Otherwise, even if he didn''t kill Mi Xiaojing, he would at least severely injure him and hinder his progress.


    A shadow shed in his eyes, and Han Chang made up his mind. If he had the chance, he would not let Mi Xiaojing continue to grow. Killing him would solve all problems. Since he had destroyed his sect, he would also destroy him if he had the chance.


    Upon entering the main hall, Mi Xiaojing realized that the Heart Sect had so many Foundation Establishment cultivators. It seemed like a general mobilization this time, with at least a hundred Foundation Establishment experts in the main hall.


    Mi Xiaojing''s position was interesting. He and Yong Ji sat cross-legged behind Yu Hong. The other Foundation Establishment Ancestors all sat cross-legged in the main hall, with clear ranks. Those sitting in the front were at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, with only eight people, six men and two women.


    The second to third rows were upied byte-stage Foundation Establishment Ancestors, neen in total. Sitting in order, Mi Xiaojing noticed that Chen Shouyi was sitting in the corner of thest row. He was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was considered a junior brother to the other Ancestors.


    Chen Shouyi sneaked a nce at Mi Xiaojing, his heart bleeding with hatred. This was sitting behind Elder Yu Hong! It made him jealous and hateful to death.


    If he could also refine pills for the Elemental Infant stage, what kind of status would he have in the sect! He wished he could p Mi Xiaojing to death.


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian said, "Everyone knows that our sect has been in turmoil recently. This is a challenge for our Heart Sect. No matter what, we must give it our all."


    "Once the Nine Peaks and One Mountain encounter external enemies, the protective sword formation of the Nine Peaks will be activated immediately. We can''t care about that now. As for the sect''s protective sword formation, it can also be activated for a short time, not exceeding three days. After that, each peak will have to rely on its own strength to resist. At all costs, we must protect each peak!"At this moment, Mu Hengyuan walked out from behind and silently sat next to the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. Mi Xiaojing stole a nce at him, noticing his paleplexion. He knew that although Mu Hengyuan had been treated in time, he had not fully recovered.


    Mo Chentian nced at Mu Hengyuan and gave a slight nod before continuing, "The people of the Vast Gold Sect will surely bring their defeated remnants this time. In this battle... we willpletely annihte them!"


    Yu Hong said solemnly, "Listen well, this is a life-and-death battle between sects. Whoever dares to flee during the battle, no matter where they hide, I will find them! For the sake of the sect, fight to the death!"


    A tremendous pressure emerged, causing every Foundation Establishment cultivator to bow their heads and say in unison, "Yes, we will fight to the death!"


    Mo Chentian said, "Each peak should assign two to three Foundation Establishment disciples to guard the sect''s main hall. The safety of the main peak is rted to the survival of the sect. In addition, some Foundation Establishment disciples should also be sent over. After the sect''srge formation stops, the sword formation of the main peak will be activated. I need these people to guard the sword formation!"


    "Everything must be arranged within today. Whoever fails toplete the task, I will find them!"


    "Yes, Sect Leader! We guarantee toplete the task!"


    Mi Xiaojing was observing secretly. He found that these core forces of the sect were neither excited nor impassioned. No one stood up to speak, they simply responded to the Sect Leader''s words. They did not show the spirit of fighting to the death.


    Mi Xiaojing was very puzzled, so he asked Wang Weijun for advice.


    The first sentence from Wang Weijun left Mi Xiaojing stunned.


    "Cultivation is not easy!"

 Chapter 185: Clan Treasury

    <h4>Chapter 185: n Treasury</h4>


    "What does that mean?"


    "It means that no cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage would willingly risk their life in a fight, unless their life is threatened and they have no choice but to fight to survive. Right now, this is just a joke, just empty words. Don''t expect them to really risk their lives. The sect may be gone, but their lives are still there!"


    "If the sect is still there, but their lives are not, hehe, isn''t the choice obvious?"


    "Cultivators cultivate for longevity, for survival. We are not ordinary people. Even if ordinary people don''t risk their lives, they can live peacefully for a lifetime, but that''s only a hundred years at most. As long as a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can live for a very long time. Once they advance to the Elemental Infant stage, they are almost immortal, even if their physical body is destroyed, they can still live!"


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, but upon reflection, it was indeed true. Cultivators might fight hard, but they wouldn''t necessarily risk their lives. His pure heart was once again tainted a little by this old guy, Wang Weijun.


    "Then we''re doomed!"


    "Not necessarily. Because the higher-ups will fight to the death. If they lose the sect, their loss is much greater than others. Without the resources of the sect, they would definitely be worse off fighting outside than keeping the sect. However, it''s quite difficult to exchange their lives for it."


    Mi Xiaojing gradually understood that no one would really risk their life for the sect. He asked, "But the Vast Gold Sect came to fight to the death! Aren''t they also cultivators?"


    "Haha, you''re really naive and adorable. Is that fighting to the death? That''s just an excuse to exterminate a sect. They''re just using the name of revenge to seize the sect''s territory. Once the Heart Sect is defeated, this ce will soon be the new Vast Gold Sect! A sect upies a lot of resources, what they really want is not revenge, but these resources!"


    Wang Weijun said pointedly.


    Mi Xiaojing fell silent, feeling that the Cultivation World was really dirty.


    Wang Weijun chuckled smugly. He wanted to disrupt Mi Xiaojing''s thinking and understanding, to make him lose his sense of right and wrong, which would be the best oue.


    "I still prefer the Western Evolutionary Sect, not the Heart Sect!"


    Wang Weijun rolled his eyes. This kid was stubborn. Mi Xiaojing''s words represented his preference for the peaceful life of Evolutionary Immortality, rather than the cunning life of cultivators. Of course, Mi Xiaojing still liked cultivation itself.


    Yong Ji noticed that Mi Xiaojing had been closing his eyes and lowering his head, not knowing whether he had heard the Sect Leader''s words. But on second thought, the sect would definitely not let Mi Xiaojing fight. He was good at alchemy, not fighting.


    In fact, Yong Ji didn''t know that Mi Xiaojing''sbat ability was not bad at all. In a fight with a cultivator of the same level, he would definitely not lose. Even if he challenged a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection level, Mi Xiaojing was not afraid. He just never showed hisbat talent.


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t be so foolish as to volunteer to fight. He wouldn''t risk his life for the Heart Sect. Keeping silent and not expressing his stance was his current idea.


    Sect Leader Mo Chentian said, "This battle is rted to the life and death of the sect, and also to everyone''s personal interests. Once the sect is broken, even if you escape, you will be homeless. At that time, without resources, without anything, how will you cultivate? How will you advance? Think clearly, don''t have any foolish thoughts, don''t think you can get away with it. We are watching."


    "The tasks have been assigned, everyone act ordingly. Also, the sect is offering a lot of rewards this time. Oncepleted, there will be great rewards!"


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "I have a few words to say too. The sect''s treasury is open, and some treasures and spiritual tools are temporarily given to everyone. Remember, if youplete your tasks well, these treasures can be given to you as rewards."


    Everyone''s faces showed joy. Many treasures in the sect''s treasury are usually not taken out. It is estimated that this time they saw the situation was serious. Rather than losing in a fight and being robbed, it is better to distribute them to everyone in advance to enhance everyone''sbat power.


    This move was highly appreciated by Wang Weijun. He thought that this action by the high-level members of the Heart Sect was very wise, unlike some sects, who were extremely stingy.


    Yong Ji turned his head and looked at Mi Xiaojing, saying, "When you go to the treasuryter, follow along. You can choose a suitable treasure."


    Mi Xiaojing pointed to his nose, his eyes full of surprise, "Do I have one too?"


    Yong Jiughed and said, "You are qualified to choose!"


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He was curious about what treasures were in the treasury. Earlier, when Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said that everyone could choose, the joy on the faces of these Foundation Establishment Ancestors was about to overflow. A few of them were even grinning secretly.


    Wang Weijun chuckled. Mi Xiaojing had little experience and might not be able to pick good things, but with him, it would be different. With his knowledge, even the senior elders of the Heart Sect couldn''tpare.


    Only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage could go to the treasury to choose. Those below the Foundation Establishment stage were not qualified. Mi Xiaojing was an exception because of his great contribution. He was specially allowed to join, which was also a kind of benefit.


    This proposal was put forward by Mu Hengyuan. He was seriously injured before. If it weren''t for Mi Xiaojing''s Spirit Pill, it would have been a big trouble. Now in the sect, two senior elders owed Mi Xiaojing a favor. Both of their injuries were healed by the Spirit Pill refined by Mi Xiaojing.


    The treasury of the Heart Sect was not far from the main hall. It took about ten minutes to walk there. Of course, the treasury was built underground and was entered through a teleportation array. A maximum of eight people could enter at a time, apanied by Azure Descent Immortal Maiden.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji were in the first batch. This treatment made the other Foundation Establishment Ancestors envious and jealous.


    Chen Shouyi was even more envious. The earlier you enter the treasury, the more choices you have to pick treasures. As long as you have a good eye, you can get the good stuff first. Who wouldn''t want to be the first to go in?


    But the first batch of people to enter, apart from the Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, were the direct disciples of the Elemental Infant Ancestors. Like those who were named by the senior elders of the sect, there was only Mi Xiaojing now.


    Under the envious eyes of many Foundation Establishment Ancestors, Mi Xiaojing stepped onto the teleportation array. He had seen this kind of teleportation array before in the back of the sect''s main hall. However,pared to that, this teleportation array was muchrger. Since it was short-distance teleportation, it was notplicated.Among the eight, only three truly possessed thebat power of Great Perfection and needed to participate in the battle. These were the Foundation Establishment Ancestors. The others, like Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing, along with two others, were all rted. Of course, these two were still Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Mi Xiaojing was the only one in the Foundation Establishment stage among the younger generation.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden led the team, standing together on the teleportation array.


    Outside the teleportation array, a group of Foundation Establishment Ancestors watched eagerly. Everyone knew that those who entered first had the advantage, but none of them dared to object. This was the decision of the sect''s elder, and in a strict cultivation sect like the Heart Sect, only those with the highest strength had the right to speak and make decisions, and only they had the privilege to cheat.


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the surroundings suddenly bing cold.

 Chapter 186: Xiao Mysterious Heaven Formation

    <h4>Chapter 186: Xiao Mysterious Heaven Formation</h4>


    What came into view were seven icy pirs, and the ground was made of rare mysterious ice. Mi Xiaojing had just stepped on it and almost froze. He quickly activated the power of the Starry Sky to dispel the cold.


    Wang Weijun eximed in surprise, "Huh, this treasury is interesting! It doesn''t seem to be built by current cultivators. It looks more like a relic that has been refurbished."


    Yong Ji exined to Mi Xiaojing, "This is an ancient cultivator''s training ground, most suitable for ice-attribute cultivators. After generations of exploration by the sect''s experts, it has been thoroughly excavated. Due to the extremely powerful prohibition formations inside, it has been used as the sect''s treasury."


    In fact, this was also the cultivation ground of the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. An ancient ice-attribute technique was once discovered here. It has been passed down through generations, and talented disciples would practice here.


    Currently, only the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden in the sect could sessfully cultivate this technique. The requirements of this technique were quite high, and those who could cultivate it were extremely rare.


    Ever since the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden advanced to the Elemental Infant stage, this ce became her cultivation ground. She was also responsible for protecting the sect''s treasury.


    The surroundings were nketed in white, as if they were in thick clouds. Interestingly, these clouds only rolled around the edges, leaving a patch of ground in the middle.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden coldly warned, "Don''t try to probe the surrounding ice fog. It''s condensed from mysterious energy and is very powerful."


    Mysterious energy was a high-end material for refining tools. It was surprising that it was used as a defensive measure here. This fact made Wang Weijun exim in surprise. Before touching it, who would know that the ice fog was condensed from mysterious energy?


    Wang Weijun said, "I didn''t expect the Heart Sect to have such secrets. Good, good!"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Hehe, I mean that this ce might have been a secret ground of a great power or an ancient sect a long time ago. The Heart Sect might still have undiscovered ces, relics, ancient relics, and so on. Every time they are discovered, they cause a bloodbath. If it''s a relic of an ancient sect, it''s even more so."


    "You mean, there are overlooked relics here that the sect hasn''t discovered?"


    "Smartd, that''s exactly what I mean!"


    "That''s impossible. Even if the sect only has Elemental Infant stage cultivators now, it doesn''t mean there were no experts in the past. How could there be any oversights?"


    "Maybe, I''m just saying maybe. There might be, but there might not be!"


    Wang Weijun once again raised his head arrogantly.


    "Alright, you''ve said both good and bad things. What else can I say?"


    "Ah, what kind of talk is that!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but want tough. Arguing with the old man was bing one of his pleasures.


    "Human talk!"


    "Are you saying that I''m not speaking humannguage?"


    "I didn''t say that, you said it yourself!"


    "What did I say? What did I say? I didn''t say anything!"


    Wang Weijun almost cursed out loud, but he stopped himself. He had a shadow in his heart and didn''t want Mi Xiaojing to have a bad impression of him.


    "Little rabbit? What do you mean?"


    This time, Wang Weijun ignored him. He found that the more they talked, the more off-topic they became.


    At this time, a group of people began to follow the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden inside. The surrounding ice fog was still rolling, and a path formed in front of the Immortal Maiden. She cast a magical technique and immediately opened the passage.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that the passage was going downward. The seven ice pirs gradually disappeared in the rolling ice fog. The surroundings were silent, and no one spoke.


    Everyone''s feet were half a foot above the ground. They didn''t dare to stay on the ground for too long. The cold from the ground could prate their bodies. Even if they circted their cultivation, it was still extremely cold. Everyone chose to hover above the ground.


    In this way, the way everyone moved was quite strange. They floated forward.


    Following a winding path, no one dared to overstep or rush around. They followed the person in front, matching their pace, and moved forward.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that ice pirs would asionally appear around them. Sometimes there was one, sometimes three or four. Wang Weijun had been observing from the Heart Tower. After a while, he suddenly said, "It''s not the Great Yan Mysterious Heaven Formation, it''s not that advanced. This is the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation!"


    "Uh, how do you know?"


    .


    "To be precise, it''s the Mysterious Ice Formation, with the variations of the Great Yan Forty-Nine!"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused, "What do you mean? I don''t understand."


    "Nonsense, of course you don''t understand. This is an ancient formation, it''s no longer used now."


    "Is it very powerful?"


    "Not really. After development, it was found that this formation had fatal ws and waspletely broken by people."


    "I see, then why is everyone so cautious? They''re afraid of touching the formation?"


    "With your cultivation levels, of course you would be careful. Having ws doesn''t mean you can break it. The person who set up this formation should have a decent cultivation level.""Alright, you''re always right no matter what."


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing still admired Wang Weijun a lot. This old man really knew a lot.


    "Because I am right!"


    Wang Weijun acted arrogantly again.


    Mi Xiaojing found it amusing, but he had to admit, this old man was indeed very impressive. Of course, his habit of arguing was still there: "Even if you''re right, can you break this formation? Or are you just talking?"


    "Ah, nonsense!"


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but get angry again. He felt underestimated. But then he became helpless because he could only stay in the Mantra Banner and couldn''t get out.


    Moreover, he no longer had a physical body. Even if he could get out, what could he do? If he still had his physical body, breaking this Mysterious Heaven Formation would be a piece of cake.


    As for breaking the formation now? Forget about it!


    For some reason, every time the old man got angry, Mi Xiaojing wanted tough.


    "Alright, alright, I was just joking. You''re so old, yet you still get angry so easily."


    Wang Weijun was left speechless. This little rascal liked to make him angry, but then came back tofort him. It was simply unbearable.


    The passage was quite long. They walked for about fifteen minutes before they saw seven ice pirs again.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but ask, "Old man, why do I feel like we''re back where we started?"


    "Oh, well done! You actually noticed that we''re back where we started. Impressive!"


    "There are seven ice pirs here, just like before. The only difference is the location. We should have been standing over there."


    The difference was no more than twenty meters, but in a formation, every position had its own function.


    "If we don''t walk this way, we''ll trigger the Mysterious Heaven Formation. That would be fun, haha!"


    Wang Weijun suddenly burst intoughter, which confused Mi Xiaojing. What was so funny? Was the old man going crazy?


    Afterughing for a while and seeing that Mi Xiaojing didn''t react, Wang Weijun suddenly lost interest. He sat back on the heart tower and said listlessly, "We should be almost there."

 Chapter 187: Innate talent!

    <h4>Chapter 187: Innate talent!</h4>


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent cast a magical technique, and instantly, the mist of elemental energy formed by ice cracked open a gap, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand. The rolling ice mist retreated to both sides, revealing another passage.


    "Follow me, keep the team tight. This ce is quite dangerous, everyone be careful."


    Mi Xiaojing obediently followed, moving forward in an orderly manner. No one dared to act recklessly here, not even the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent.


    Although this ce was deep underground, it was not dark at all. It looked like an overcast day outside, not bright but not dark either.


    A flicker of light, and Mi Xiaojing realized they had left the Mysterious Heaven Formation. There were four huge stone pirs here, made of an unknown material. They were neither gold nor wood, semi-transparent, with a hint of green moving within.


    Following the guidance of the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent, everyone stood outside the circle of the four pirs.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand, but Wang Weijun did: "They''re about to open the portal!"


    Sure enough, the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent began to cast magical techniques and incantations. Then, the four pirs suddenly moved. When thest magical technique and incantation were cast, the four peculiar pirs began to spin wildly, bringing up bands of green light, as if countless silk ribbons were spinning at high speed.


    The ground trembled slightly, and soon the light and shadow brought up by the spinning pirspletely obscured the figure of the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent.


    All Mi Xiaojing could see were bands of light. When his vision cleared, everything seemed like an illusion, suddenly disappearing. The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent reappeared before his eyes, but the surrounding environment hadpletely changed.


    The ground was made of white jade, the walls of ck jade. A semi-circr space, the ground emitting a milky white glow.


    A palm-sized me hung in the air, a strange me that just hovered in front of everyone. Its color was also peculiar, a deep blue me with a hint of purple.


    Cold me!


    A type of cold me, Wang Weijun jumped up in the Heart Tower: "Cold me! This damn thing is a Cold me! The fools of the Heart Sect, idiots... actually left such a treasure here... oh my, it''s killing me!"


    Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "What''s the use of the Cold me?"


    "Damn, this is a heavenly treasure! Whether for refining tools or alchemy, this is a rare treasure..."


    "Can this thing be collected?"


    Mi Xiaojing originally intended to ask Wang Weijun, but he identally blurted it out and quickly covered his mouth.


    Yong Ji asked, "Are you talking about this Cold me?"


    The others also heard Mi Xiaojing''s words and showed curious expressions. They had all heard of the Cold me and knew it was extraordinary, but due to their limited knowledge, they didn''t know its use or how to collect it.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing could only nod.


    Wang Weijun arrogantly said, "Just because they can''t collect it, doesn''t mean I can''t!"


    "Can I collect it?"


    "Ah... what a pity, what a pity!"


    It was only then that Wang Weijun realized that he was just an Elemental Infant and couldn''t possibly go out to collect the Cold me. And Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level was not enough. Even if he had the magical techniques and incantations, even if he had the tools to collect it, he still couldn''t obtain it.


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "It can''t be collected. Someone from our sect tried before. The Cold me entered his body and turned him into an ice sculpture. After the Cold me came out... it was still the same!"


    "Moreover, this Cold me and the Mysterious Heaven Formation are one. If it''s collected, the power of the formation will be reduced by 20%."


    Everyone gasped in astonishment.


    Wang Weijun smacked his lips in the Heart Tower: "Tsk tsk, a bunch of fools, weaklings who don''t understand anything. The real Mysterious Heaven Formation is much more powerful than this. This is just a small Mysterious Heaven Formation... I can''t be bothered to exin. What a waste of resources! Stupid!"


    Wang Weijun was quite angry, ready to explode at any moment, often puffing with anger. But Mi Xiaojing found it amusing, this old man was bing more and more interesting.


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent pped her hands coldly: "Alright, everyone stop talking. The portal is about to open."


    Everyone immediately fell silent, waiting quietly.


    The Cold me suddenly rose by a meter, and strands of cold air quickly twisted together, forming two white ice mists, quickly condensing into an archway. With a magical technique from the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent, the surrounding air trembled, and then a hole silently appeared under the Cold me.


    The hole was actually emitting light. The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Follow me!" She jumped down first.


    Mi Xiaojing followed Yong Ji and also jumped down.


    The round hole led to a huge space below. ording to Mi Xiaojing''s estimation, this space was like a birdcage, with a curved top and a round bottom.


    Treasure light soared into the sky, no wonder the entrance emitted light when it was opened.


    On the curved walls, there were numerouspartments of various sizes, densely covering the entire wall.


    Somepartments were empty, while others emitted treasure light. Mi Xiaojing was stunned, there were too many!


    This was the true foundation of a sect. Even an ordinary cultivation sect had such a profound foundation, which was quite intimidating.


    Wang Weijun sighed, "Indeed, it''s a sect with a history. umted over generations, it has a deep foundation. Very good!" To receive praise from the old man, the Heart Sect was indeed impressive.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that the mostmon item in the treasury was swords, all kinds of swords!


    A variety of swords were sealed in thepartments on the wall, dazzling everyone with their treasure light.


    Mi Xiaojing was no exception. There were flickering treasure lights everywhere, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, silver, all kinds of lights, casting strange shadows on people. He looked around in a daze, how was he supposed to choose?


    The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Each person can only choose one item. Once chosen, I will unlock the seal. Of course, some items are not allowed to be taken. You can only take items from the middle and upperpartments. The lower ones are treasures that can only be used by cultivators above the Elemental Infant stage. You are not allowed to choose them."Everyone responded with a roar, then each of them slowly flew along the wall, observing and searching for treasures suitable for themselves.


    The items stored here, if they were weapons, were at least top-tier magical instruments. There were also various kinds of cultivation methods and talismans, and Mi Xiaojing even saw quite a few high-level Spirit Pills.


    He couldn''t help but sigh, the Cultivation Sect was simply too wealthy. Compared to it, the Evolutionary Immortality Sect could indeed be called the Beggar Sect.


    The two were likeparing a billionaire to a beggar, the gap was truly toorge.


    There were simply too many items, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know how to choose, so he had to ask Wang Weijun for help: "Old man, help me choose!"


    "You fly along the wall, don''t fly too fast, fly slowly! Make sure you don''t miss anything as you fly in circles."


    "Okay!"


    Mi Xiaojing slowly flew along the wall, passing onepartment after another. Every time he saw apartment with something in it, he would ask Wang Weijun: "How about this one?"


    Wang Weijun''s answer was always one word: "Pass!"

 Chapter 188: Ancient Escape Talisman

    <h4>Chapter 188: Ancient Escape Talisman</h4>


    Free and without pop-up ads! After a round of browsing, Wang Weijun''s response to every item in the grid was a single word: "Pass!"


    Mi Xiaojing trusted Wang Weijunpletely and had no objections. He continued to fly downwards, circling round and round. asionally, in front of certain grids, Wang Weijun would say, "Stop!"


    At these moments, Mi Xiaojing would be excited, but usually, after about ten seconds, Wang Weijun would utter another "Pass!"


    One by one, people made their selections and then had the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden unseal them. Each person was allowed only one item, no more. Despite the abundance of treasures in the treasury, they were all umted over generations. If people were allowed to take as they pleased, the treasury wouldn''tst long.


    This time, the sect had truly bled a lot.


    Mi Xiaojing kept circling and quickly reached the bottom. Thest twoyers of grids were off-limits. The items here were the real treasures. In front of almost every grid, Wang Weijun would have Mi Xiaojing pause for a few seconds.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden frowned slightly. Seeing Mi Xiaojing wandering around the bottomyer, she couldn''t help but say, "You can''t take anything from the bottomyer, so stop wandering around there."


    Mi Xiaojing had just finished his round and blushed slightly at her words. He quickly flew upwards, saying, "Old man, make a decision quickly!"


    Wang Weijun didn''t respond. He was considering what Mi Xiaojing needed most.


    After a few minutes, Wang Weijun said, "Go up."


    Following Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mi Xiaojing hovered in front of a grid. To his surprise, the item Wang Weijun had chosen was neither a sword nor an Array Disk artifact, but a jade talisman.


    The jade talisman was very unique, shaped like a triangr maple leaf. It was a faint vermilion color and looked very beautiful. The spiritual patterns formed the veins of the leaf, incredibly intricate and detailed.


    However, there was a very fine crack on the talisman, barely noticeable unless one looked closely.


    What kind of talisman was this?


    Mi Xiaojing had never seen such a delicate talisman before. He remembered that he had paused in front of this talisman for more than twenty seconds earlier. He had found it strange that Wang Weijun had asked for so much time. It turned out that the old man had preselected this talisman.


    "It''s an escape talisman. Didn''t you see the inscription? But this talisman is not ordinary. It should have been refined by a Loose Immortal. Probably because of the crack, it was ced here. They might not know that this talisman can be repaired. And it''s not a one-time use item. It can be used many times. As long as you know how to maintain it and repair it, this talisman can be very useful!"


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He asked, "Old man, is this talisman part of the Five Elements Escape?"


    "It''s more advanced than the Five Elements Escape. It seems that the cultivators here don''t value escape techniques. In others I''ve been to, many sects consider escape techniques as important skills. But whether it''s the Five Elements Escape or other escape techniques, they are easy to learn but hard to master."


    Mi Xiaojing pondered and said, "I remember that the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art records an escape technique. Yes, it''s called Starlight Escape! How is this escape technique?"


    "Forget about it. That''s an escape technique that can only be learned from the Soul Separation stage to the Body Fusion stage. At the Elemental Infant stage, you can only learn the basics."


    "Ah, is it that amazing?"


    "Starlight Escape... It allows short-distance teleportation in the starry sky and can cross the starry sky. Even if you only learn the basics, it''s much stronger than the Five Elements Escape, Lightning Escape, or Wind Escape! Enough about this, you should take this talisman first."


    By this time, everyone else had chosen their treasures. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden flew down and hovered beside Mi Xiaojing. She asked, "Have you chosen this escape talisman?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes."


    A hint of admiration shed in the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden''s eyes. This child didn''t aim too high and made a very practical choice.


    The so-called escape talisman was essentially for running away. With Mi Xiaojing''s strength, even though he was progressing rapidly, he was still a cultivator in thete Foundation Establishment stage, striving for the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. If he were to get involved in a sect war, his chances of survival would be slim. But with this escape talisman, things would be different. If something went wrong, he could activate the talisman and run away first. His opponents might not be able to catch up.


    If someone else had chosen this escape talisman, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden would probably have scolded them. Thinking of running away before the fight even started? But Mi Xiaojing was different. He was now the sect''s treasure, and his specialty was alchemy. As for fighting, the sect''s big shots had never counted on him.


    Mi Xiaojing''s choice made the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden very satisfied.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden took out the escape talisman, removed the seal on it, and then handed it to Mi Xiaojing, saying, "The magical techniques and incantations for using it are attached to the talisman. Practice a lot. However, this talisman has some ws. It can''t teleport very far and can''t be activated consecutively. Of course, if it had no ws, it wouldn''t be ced here."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I''m already very satisfied."


    "Humph, this old woman is cold as ice. She seems okay, but she''s actually a fool. Tsk tsk, her exnation is so poor, she has no skill at all. I wonder how she cultivated to the Elemental Infant stage."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, "Old man, she didn''t offend you, did she?"


    "An ignorant woman! Humph, this talisman, actually, I didn''t exin it in detail just now. This is an ancient escape talisman, and it was refined by a master from a famous family. Even in my prime, I couldn''t refine such a talisman. Sigh... It''s a pity. If I had such a talisman back then, maybe..."Wang Weijun''s mood suddenly became gloomy.


    Mi Xiaojing was secretly surprised, "Ancient Escape Talisman? I''ve noticed that anything involving the word ''ancient'' seems to be a good thing!"


    "Nonsense. It''s not that anything ancient is good, but the fact that it can be preserved until now and still be usable. Which one of them hasn''t gone through countless trials and tribtions? Anything that has been passed down like this, if it''s not a treasure, then what is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly realized the truth. It made sense. Slightly inferior treasures would have gradually been destroyed and disappeared in battles, in usage, and in the process of being passed down. Those that have survived until now naturally wouldn''t be bad.


    It could be confirmed that if one were to obtain a treasure passed down from ancient times now, it would definitely be much stronger than many of the current treasures. After all, it had stood the test of time.


    "That makes sense!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but praise. He really admired Wang Weijun, who had exined his doubts with just one sentence.


    "Hmph!"


    Wang Weijun raised his head, but it was a pity that Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense didn''t see it, and he missed out on Wang Weijun''s proud moment.


    Mi Xiaojing carefully put away the Ancient Escape Talisman. He was thest one to collect it. The others were already waiting at the exit, and no one was rushing him.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "Let''s go!"


    Mi Xiaojing followed and flew up. Soon, everyone left the underground treasure vault and returned to the surface. As soon as they emerged from the teleportation array, Mi Xiaojing saw a group of Foundation Establishment Ancestors, staring at them eagerly.

 Chapter 189: Qianyang Sword

    <h4>Chapter 189: Qianyang Sword</h4>


    Everyone was eagerly watching Mi Xiaojing and the others, knowing that the first batch to receive the treasures would undoubtedly get the best ones.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden began to call out names for the second batch to enter the treasury. To Mi Xiaojing''s surprise, Mo Yuer was among them.


    Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing, Mo Yuer smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. She was also quite shocked inside, as Mi Xiaojing had entered the treasury before her, proving that he had gained the unanimous attention of the higher-ups.


    The opportunity to enter the treasury was extremely rare. She knew that if it weren''t for her father being the Sect Leader of the Heart Sect, she wouldn''t have had the qualifications to go in.


    Neither of them spoke, as they didn''t have much of a rtionship, but they were no longer strangers, merely acquaintances.


    Yong Ji said, "Let''s go back first, they''ll have to wait."


    Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two quickly left. Mi Xiaojing was a bit curious, wondering what treasure Yong Ji had chosen.


    Back at the Gathering Spring residence, the two went straight to the backyard. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Uncle Yong, what treasure did you choose?"


    Yong Ji smiled and pulled out a sword. With a touch of his finger, the sword floated in front of him. He said, "The Qianyang Sword, it''s a mid-grade spiritual sword, haha."


    Mi Xiaojing was slightly surprised. In the Heart Sect, a mid-grade spiritual sword was definitely a good weapon. However, he was a bit puzzled. Given Yong Ji''s status, shouldn''t he have had such a weapon long ago? Why did he choose this sword?


    Seeing Mi Xiaojing''s confusion, Yong Ji gave a bitter smile. "My previous sword wasn''t even a low-grade spiritual sword, just a top-grade magical artifact." He had originally wanted to nurture it into a low-grade spiritual sword with his Golden Elixir, but despite years of nurturing, he had not seeded. Heter realized that the essence of his magical sword was not enough.


    So, without hesitation, Yong Ji chose to exchange for a spiritual sword this time. This was the weapon that suited him best. Unfortunately, he had just obtained it and needed to keep it near his Golden Elixir for a while to graduallybine it with his own true essence before it could be his life sword.


    In other words, although the power of this Qianyang spiritual sword was stronger than his previous magical sword, it was not as satisfactory in use. After all, the magical sword was something he had nurtured for a long time and was very handy.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Good sword, good sword!"


    Wang Weijun interjected, "Haha, kid, you''re cursing!"


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled, "When did I curse?"


    "You said he''s good for nothing, good for nothing is a scoundrel, hahaha!"


    Wang Weijun was so happy that he was dancing with joy. His pleasure was just this pitiful little bit. In the Mantra Banner, he was almost suffocating into a pervert.


    "Get lost!"


    "Hahaha, I got you!"


    One sentence made Wang Weijun lose hisposure.


    "You, you kid have no sense of humor at all! You''re killing me, killing me! Ahhh spit!"


    "Alright, alright, what''s there to be angry about? I just find it strange, old man, every time you say you''re a senior expert in the Cultivation World, but do you look like a senior expert?"


    Being despised by the younger generation again, Wang Weijun was so angry that he was puffing up his beard and ring at the Heart Tower.


    Yong Ji was fascinated by the Qianyang spiritual sword. Although he was Yu Hong''s direct disciple, he didn''t have any special treasures in his hands. This was the downside of being a cultivator in a sect. What good things could one get from relying on the sect?


    If you want good treasures, either refine them yourself or go out and find them. Whether it''s stealing, robbing, or excavating ancient ruins, these are not things that the sect can provide.


    Yong Ji knew that with this sword, if nurtured well, his strength could at least double. This was the power of a good magical treasure.


    "By the way, what spiritual sword did you choose?"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but smile bitterly. He had directly assumed that he had chosen a spiritual sword. Of course, if it were up to Mi Xiaojing himself, he might have chosen a spiritual sword first. However, with Wang Weijun''s help, he chose a talisman instead.


    Holding the talisman in his hand, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have the ability to make it float.


    "This talisman."


    "Ah? Are you stupid? Why didn''t you choose a spiritual sword? This kind of opportunity, I''ve only had it once in all my years in the Heart Sect, and there won''t be another one in the future. It''s such a pity!"


    Wang Weijun was furious in the Heart Tower, "This damn kid, he doesn''t know shit! What''s the use of a spiritual sword! How outrageous, a guy who doesn''t know shit, dares to express his opinion!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s pretty."


    Yong Ji waspletely dumbfounded. This reason was too powerful. Since when did cultivators choose treasures based on their appearance?


    "Uncle Yong, don''t you think it''s beautiful?"


    Mi Xiaojing had no choice but to talk nonsense. He couldn''t say that he had chosen this because of the guidance of a senior.


    Wang Weijun was also stunned. This reason was good, very powerful! He couldn''t help butugh wildly in the Heart Tower, "Haha, good answer, because it''s pretty, because it''s beautiful, haha, look at that kid, he''s dumbfounded!"


    Yong Ji pointed at the talisman, his hand shaking with anger. This kind of opportunity was something others couldn''t even beg for, and this kid had casually chosen a talisman, "You, you think it''s beautiful? Pretty? This is outrageous!"


    Mi Xiaojing innocently said, "Uncle Yong, why are you angry?"


    Suddenly, Yong Ji came to his senses. He wasn''t stupid, he was just stunned by Mi Xiaojing''s words. Most cultivators would indeed choose a spiritual sword, but Mi Xiaojing was a Pill Master, his specialty was alchemy, not fighting. Choosing a talisman seemed reasonable.


    "Uh, okay, I just think it''s a pity. Your choice of a talisman is not bad, I''m not angry."


    Once he figured it out, Yong Ji felt that Mi Xiaojing''s choice was not bad. A cultivator who focuses on escaping is generally hard to catch unless there is a huge difference in levels, especially those who have escape techniques.


    Generally speaking, there are five elements of escape: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each with its own escape technique, and there is also abined five elements escape technique. In addition, there are some special ones, such as lightning escape, nt escape, and wind escape. These escape techniques are not widespread, some cultivations are very popr, and some don''t even have these techniques.


    On the Cangmin Star, very few cultivators knew escape techniques. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they could fly, and the speed was very fast. It was not like escape techniques that had various restrictions. However, escape techniques were generally used inbat, while flying was used for long-distance travel. The two belonged to different categories.Yong Ji didn''t pay much attention to the talisman. He said, "I''m going to cultivate the spiritual sword and won''t leave the courtyard for now." Having just obtained a good weapon, he was eager to absorb it into his body as soon as possible.


    This was also a form of cultivation. It wasn''t easy to incorporate a spiritual sword into one''s body. Nurturing it with his Golden Elixir and true essence as early as possible was the best course of action.


    First, he needed to discard his original Magical Sword, then nurture this new spiritual sword. In fact, he could nurture both swords at the same time, but the effect would definitely not be as good as nurturing just one sword.

 Chapter 190: Repair

    <h4>Chapter 190: Repair</h4>


    Discarding a sword, in other words, severing the connection with the sword, would cause harm to the cultivator. After all, a sword that has been nurtured for many years, once the connection is severed, the cultivator himself would also be injured.


    Fortunately, Yong Ji had received quite a few Spirit Pills from Mi Xiaojing, so he didn''t care much about this.


    Mi Xiaojing watched as Yong Ji went to the bamboo pavilion, then he went to his usual meditation spot and sat down cross-legged.


    Although he had the talisman in hand, he was still unclear about the magical technique and incantation. Following the hint from the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, Mi Xiaojing ced the talisman on his forehead. As expected, this talisman had its own unique magical technique and incantation.


    The ancient talisman had a fragment of broken text at the end, which Mi Xiaojing couldn''t understand at all, even with his divine sense. In his anxiety, he suddenly activated the Mantra Banner.


    The Ten Thousand Character Mantra Banner, in an instant, arge number of mantras flowed into the talisman through his divine sense.


    What kind of text in this world would the Mantra Banner not know?


    Ever since he had read the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, the Mantra Banner seemed to have gotten used to tranting. This time, it began to trante again, and even started to repair the broken text. Like filling in the gaps, the text became smooth, reaching an incredible level of magic.


    In an instant, a golden light emitted from Mi Xiaojing''s forehead, firmly fixing the talisman on his forehead. Even when Mi Xiaojing let go of his hand, the talisman did not fall off. It was like a maple leaf stuck to his forehead, emitting a flickering golden light, truly a dazzling treasure light.


    The ancient talisman was very magical. With the Mantra Banner repairing the text, Mi Xiaojing finally understood thest part of the text. It was a very simple magical technique, a teleportation technique. Combined with the ancient talisman, it could teleport instantly, although the distance was not far, only within a square kilometer.


    The Mantra Banner repaired the broken text, essentially repairing the ancient talisman. When thest character was deciphered by the Mantra Banner, the power of the Starry Sky within Mi Xiaojing''s body instantly surged into the ancient talisman.


    This action drained more than half of the Starry Sky power within Mi Xiaojing''s body, scaring him into cultivating immediately. After all, the ancient talisman was stuck on his forehead and couldn''t be removed.


    The starlight transformed into the power of the Starry Sky. Once the conversion was too much, it would rush into the talisman. Mi Xiaojing felt extremely ufortable being absorbed, and he didn''t have any Spirit Pills to assist him.


    Suddenly, he remembered the Silver Patterned Cultivating Essence Pill. Perhaps this pill could be used?


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing had refined quite a few Silver Patterned Spirit Pills. He had stored them all and didn''t dare to sell them, nor had he ever taken them.


    It wasn''t that he was afraid of problems after taking them, but that he always forgot about them during cultivation. This time, he was only reminded of the idea of taking the Silver Patterned Cultivating Essence Pill because he was being drained by the ancient talisman.


    Without much hesitation, Mi Xiaojing decided to act. After all, he was still young. If it were Wang Weijun, he would definitely sell the Silver Patterned Spirit Pills first to see others'' reactions after taking them. If there were no problems, then he would take them himself. But Mi Xiaojing didn''t want to do that.


    Taking out the Silver Patterned Cultivating Essence Pill, Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that after being sealed for this period of time, these pills had changed. The silver patterns on the pills were clearer, and the pill body was emitting a faint light. He knew this was the treasure light, and anything that could emit the treasure light was a good thing.


    Swallowing it in one gulp, Mi Xiaojing continued to cultivate. In an instant, the Silver Patterned Cultivating Essence Pill brought a huge amount of Spiritual Qi. Mi Xiaojing didn''t need this Spiritual Qi, so it directly surged into the ancient talisman.


    This freed up time for Mi Xiaojing to cultivate. Following that, the Mantra Banner also began to nourish Mi Xiaojing. He was surprised to find that in just a moment, his Starry Sky power had fully recovered, and the ancient talisman began to absorb the Starry Sky power again.


    Wang Weijun had been observing all along. Ever since he entered Mi Xiaojing''s body and failed to take over, he had never stopped observing. Everything that Mi Xiaojing learned was in his sight. After all, once he seeded in taking over, all of these would be his.


    He calcted very well. If Mi Xiaojing made progress, it was equivalent to him making progress, even though he hadn''t found a way to take over yet.


    The ancient talisman was slowly being repaired. Wang Weijun found that it didn''t need any materials at all. It could be slowly repaired just by the power of the Starry Sky, Spiritual Qi, and mantras. This magical performance even shocked Wang Weijun.


    Wang Weijun was slightly worried. He examined the Heart Tower again and realized that he had underestimated the Mantra Banner. The Evolutionary Immortality treasure was so magical, which he hadn''t expected.


    At first, Wang Weijun thought that his strength had drastically decreased and he had lost his physical body. His Elemental Infant was about to copse, which was why he was identally controlled by the Mantra Banner. But now it seemed not so simple. The performance of the Mantra Banner was a bit beyond his understanding.


    It wasn''t until now that Wang Weijun truly started to take the Mantra Banner seriously. He had realized that he had underestimated the power of the Evolutionary Immortality treasure and the ability of Evolutionary Immortality.


    Unfortunately, Wang Weijun was a cultivation expert, not a great power of Evolutionary Immortality. Although he hade into contact with Evolutionary Immortality, his understanding was not deep. The only thing he knew was that once Evolutionary Immortality grew, its strength was not inferior to that of cultivators, and it could even be stronger.


    The characteristic of Evolutionary Immortality was that it was difficult to grow in the early stage. It was very rare for one to reach the Heart Protection stage, which was equivalent to the Elemental Infant stage. Inparison, the proportion of cultivators who could cultivate to the Elemental Infant stage was muchrger. This resulted in the situation where there were fewer great powers of Evolutionary Immortality and more great powers of cultivation, and also led to the phenomenon of cultivators generally looking down on Evolutionary Immortality.Mi Xiaojing was oblivious to all these. He still had quite a few silver-streaked Cultivating Essence Pills in his hand. Since they were useful, he entered into a pill-consuming mode. Once the power of the Starry Sky was drained by half, he would swallow a silver-streaked Cultivating Essence Pill and then strive to cultivate and convert starlight. After going back and forth, the ancient escape talisman finally stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi and the power of the Starry Sky. The entire talisman looked as if it had eaten its fill.


    Mi Xiaojing tried to remove the ancient escape talisman from his forehead, but to his surprise, he found that he couldn''t take it off. It was stuck to his skin as if it had grown there.


    "I can''t take it off!"


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. What was the meaning of this thing sticking to his forehead?


    No matter what method Mi Xiaojing used, he just couldn''t remove it. He almost took out his Thunderstrike Dagger to pry it off, but Wang Weijun noticed something was wrong and immediately stopped him, "Don''t move, let the ancient escape talisman stay on your forehead. There''s no problem. This way, it''s quicker to activate, and you don''t even need a Magical Technique. Just a thought and it can be activated. This is a good thing!"


    "But, but it looks so ugly."


    "Ugly my ass! Which Cultivator cares about looking good or not? Anything that enhances strength is good-looking, anything that improves Cultivation level is good-looking! What''s ugly about this? It''s ridiculous!"


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t really think it was ugly. He was just not used to it for a while. Having an ancient escape talisman stuck on his forehead always felt strange, which made him feel so awkward.

 Chapter 191: Maintenance

    <h4>Chapter 191: Maintenance</h4>


    Just then, Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt a tightness on his forehead, and then he discovered that the ancient escape talisman had shrunk considerably. He couldn''t help but find a bronze mirror. This sight made him feel less ufortable.


    Because the ancient escape talisman had shrunk to the size of a fingernail, and the treasure light on the surface gradually disappeared. At first nce, it looked like a scar, only this scar was rather delicate, shaped like a maple leaf.


    Touching his forehead, Mi Xiaojing felt a slight bulge, but other than that, he didn''t feel anything else.


    After carefully experiencing it for a while, Mi Xiaojing''s mind moved slightly, and in an instant, he left the backyard and came outside the courtyard. In his perception, it was just a sh, and the surrounding scenery had all changed.


    This situation made Mi Xiaojing feel a bit dazed. His mind moved again, and in an instant, he returned to his original ce.


    Yong Ji just happened to see Mi Xiaojing suddenly disappear, and then reappear in the same ce. He couldn''t help but exim in surprise, "Eh, teleportation?"


    Short-distance teleportation is a capability only those at the Elemental Infant stage possess. Even Yong Ji himself didn''t have such ability. He immediately realized that this was the effect of the escape talisman, and he couldn''t think of the talisman having such power.


    Yong Ji realized that Mi Xiaojing had found a treasure. An escape talisman capable of teleportation was definitely not an ordinary talisman!


    After thinking for a moment, when he went to the treasure house, he was focused on spirit swords. As for this escape talisman, he only nced at it and didn''t take it to heart. He didn''t expect this talisman to be so good.


    Yong Ji came to Mi Xiaojing''s side and asked, "Is it the teleportation of the escape talisman?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "Yes, it''s the talisman."


    Yong Ji couldn''t help but praise, "What a smart choice." From the initial disagreement to the current admiration, he realized that Mi Xiaojing''s choice was the most correct. If he hadn''t chosen the spirit sword but this talisman, the effect should also be very good.


    Teleportation during a battle, whether used for attack or escape, is a very good skill.


    However, even if Yong Ji were to choose again, he would still choose the spirit sword. He likes to fight, likes to be strong, and escape is not his style.


    Mi Xiaojing tested it a few more times and was more and more satisfied with this talisman. However, there was one function he didn''t try, which was long-distance escape. This required the consumption of arge amount of energy stored in the talisman.


    This time, filling the talisman with energy consumed three of his silver-patterned Cultivating Essence Pills and a lot of Starry Sky power, which made him a bit scared.


    In order to break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, Mi Xiaojing had been constantly umting power recently. But after the talisman was sealed on his forehead, it would asionally absorb his power, which made him a bit troubled. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry. Even if he couldn''t break through temporarily, he believed that with the increase in cultivation time, breakthrough would be a matter of course.


    The more difficult part was after reaching the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, if he wanted to break through to the Golden Elixir stage, he would need some special means. That was what made Mi Xiaojing headache.


    However, for now, he couldn''t care about that much. Seeing that the Vast Gold Sect was about to attack, and the Sword Heart Sect''s mountain protection formation couldn''t function, if the Vast Gold Sect invited more helpers, who knew what would happen.


    Mi Xiaojing had no loyalty to the Sword Heart Sect. This was just a temporary ce for him to stay. Once the sect was broken, he would definitely run away. At that time, it might be a vast sky and he could travel everywhere.


    Of course, Mi Xiaojing was also very clear in his heart that once he left the sect, the outside world would definitely not be easy to mix in. At that time, he would have to rely on himself for everything. If his strength was not enough, he might be annihted in the Cultivation World, silently, just like the Western Evolutionary Sect.


    In recent days, Mi Xiaojing had been nervously cultivating. In his spare time, he began to organize his equipment. Once the opponent attacked, having sufficient preparation would allow him to respond better.


    There was a Mantra Image of a death substitute on the Heart Tower. Whether it could substitute for death or not, Mi Xiaojing himself was not clear. In addition, there was a copy of the Mantra of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture. The seven pages of the Pill Scripture were glowing with a faint light, like seven screens, revolving around the death substitute.


    A thunder sword floated above the head of the death substitute. This sword had been nurtured for a good period of time, and its quality had improved a bit. Although it still needed more time, it had already revealed its extraordinary potential.


    Eighteen prayer beads also revolved around the death substitute. In fact, whether it was the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, the prayer beads, or the thunder sword, they all revolved around the Heart Tower, or to be precise, they revolved around the Mantra Banner. In other words, it was the Mantra Banner that was nurturing these treasures.


    There was also the ancient escape talisman on his forehead and the Green Wood Array in his ring.


    This was Mi Xiaojing''s current foundation. Besides this, there were some Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills, and talisman materials.


    After a brief check, Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied. He had not beenzy in the sect over the years and had finally saved up a not-so-rich but sufficient foundation to equip himself. Each treasure contained his hard work.


    Mi Xiaojing had initially armed himself. Both his cultivation level and strength had grown significantly. He was no longer the little Ascension cultivator who had just been caught by the Sword Heart Sect.


    Not only his own strength, but Mi Xiaojing also possessed a superb alchemy skill. With this skill, whether he stayed in the sect, traveled outside, or became a rogue cultivator, it would be his biggest reliance.


    By using alchemy, he could live a veryfortable life in the Cultivation World.


    Yong Ji had already taken the spirit sword into his body and nurtured it with his Golden Elixir. He was very satisfied with this Qianyang sword. A medium-grade spirit sword, not to mention a cultivator at the Golden Elixir stage, even those at the Elemental Infant stage might not have it. He treasured it so much that he had been nurturing it with his true essence these days.


    One day, Yong Ji received a notice from the elder and immediately took Mi Xiaojing to the sect''s main hall.


    In the main hall sat Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. The four people with the highest status in the sect were all present, along with a group of cultivators at the Golden Elixir stage.


    When Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing arrived, some of the Golden Elixir stage cultivators had already left one after another. Mi Xiaojing heard Sect Leader Mo Chentian assigning tasks.


    Yong Ji naturally stood next to Yu Hong, and Mi Xiaojing also followed and stood aside. Here, he had no right to speak and could only watch quietly.Mi Xiaojing discovered that the task assigned by the sect this time was to hold onto Nine Peaks and One Mountain, while all other ces werepletely abandoned, such as the various estates at the foot of the mountain, all of which were in a state of abandonment.


    All the cultivators were arranged on Nine Peaks and One Mountain, while the mortals were still left in the estates. Of course, there were also some cultivators who would take their families to Nine Peaks and One Mountain, after all, only there were defensive formations.


    The Mountain Protection Great Sword Formation could still be activated, but it was no longer able to stop the opponents. This was clear to several Elemental Infant stage elders, which is why they made such a decision.


    The experts invited by the Heart Sect were also distributed together. They were basically Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. The Elemental Infant stage experts they could invite were only Yin Jin and Brahman Sa. They were now cultivating in seclusion behind the main hall, ready to go out and fight at any time.


    In the first month of the new book''s release, I''m grateful for such good results, thanks to everyone''s strong support all along!!

 Chapter 192: What is a Rogue Cultivator

    <h4>Chapter 192: What is a Rogue Cultivator</h4>


    Yin Jin and Brahman Sa were the hidden cards of the Heart Sect. Yin Jin was in thete stage of the Elemental Infant, while Brahman Sa had reached the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant cultivation level. Both of them were incredibly powerful, and they would only appear when absolutely necessary.


    These two hidden experts were known to only a few. The n of Yu Hong and the others was to use them to kill the enemy''s Elemental Infant experts at the most critical moment, thereby turning the tide of the battle.


    As the Vast Gold Sect prepared to attack, the Heart Sect was not far behind. They utilized all sorts of methods. After all, this was a matter of life and death for the sect. Once the sect was broken, given the Vast Gold Sect''s style, a massacre would follow.


    It was said that the people of the Vast Gold Sect had already started to lurk around the sect. Although they had not yet attacked, they had already set up their formation. This time, they even brought disciples in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages. These were people who had escaped from the Vast Gold Sect after the eruption of the earth fire. Although their numbers were notrge, it was still a full-scale mobilization.


    The Vast Gold Sect had also hired quite a few experts. They had hired two Elemental Infant stage experts, plus a Thousand Poisons Qian who was in the Heart Guarding stage. This made a total of six Elemental Infant stage experts. The Heart Sect had four Elemental Infant stage experts, plus Yin Jin and Brahman Sa, which also made six Elemental Infant stage experts. The two sides were evenly matched.


    However, the Heart Sect had a slight advantage. The battle was taking ce on their home ground, giving them the advantage of terrain.


    With the advantages of timing, location, and people, the Heart Sect had the upper hand. ording to Yu Hong''s calctions, the Heart Sect had a high chance of winning, but unexpected events could not be ruled out.


    The rm bell rang continuously, and the Great Sword Formation that protected the mountain barely rose. Nine illusory giant swords rose from the nine peaks, quickly forming a huge shield.


    Mi Xiaojing stood at the entrance of the main hall. He found thatpared to the first time he saw the formation activated, there was indeed something wrong with this sword formation. It felt as if the entire formation wascking a certain momentum, like a person who was originally full of energy but now appeared sickly.


    Following that, each of the nine peaks also raised their own defensive formations. Although they were notrge, they were enough to envelop the peaks. These defensive formations were not bad either, having been set up by the past masters of the Heart Sect.


    When the rm bell stopped ringing, the entire sect fell silent. In such arge sect, there was no trace of anyone on the ground. The battle for the sect was about to begin.


    Due to Mi Xiaojing''s importance to the sect, he was directly ced in the main hall of the sect. This was the core area of the sect. If the sect could not hold on, this ce would be thest to be breached.


    Mi Xiaojing sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall. Yong Ji also sat on one side. His task was simple: to protect Mi Xiaojing.


    Given the importance Yu Hong and the others ced on Mi Xiaojing, they would never let him join the battle. If the sect was in danger, he would be the first to be evacuated. As it stood, Mi Xiaojing was the safest here. There was also another person on the protection list.


    Mo Yuer, the precious daughter of Mo Chentian.


    There was also a person sitting next to Mo Yuer, a young and beautiful woman. However, her expression was very indifferent. Although she was not as cold as the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, she had a sense of elegance.


    This woman was Mo Chentian''s personal disciple, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert. She was also sent by Mo Chentian to protect Mo Yuer. This woman''s name was Wan Bao, and Mo Yuer was used to calling her Sister Bao.


    .


    Originally, Mo Yuer was supposed to be sent away, but after the incident with therge flying boat, Mo Chentian knew that there were people intercepting them outside, so he called his daughter back to his side and temporarily ced her in the main hall of the sect.


    Mo Yuer was also extremely bored. She sat not far from Mi Xiaojing, at the other end of the steps, her head always lowered, seemingly lost in thought.


    Mi Xiaojing, however, was looking up at the sky, his Divine Sense chatting with Wang Weijun.


    "Old man, do you think the Heart Sect can hold on?"


    "If their fate is exhausted, they''re done for. If their fate is not exhausted, they can still hold on. Who knows? If the sect can hold on, you can continue to hang around here. If it''s done for, you''ll have a hard time. You''ll experience another way of life, the life of a rogue cultivator. It''s not easy."


    "Rogue cultivator?"


    Mi Xiaojing had no concept of what a rogue cultivator was.


    "A rogue cultivator is someone who cultivates without a sect, relying on themselves. There are three sources of rogue cultivators. One is ordinary people who receive enlightenment in cultivation and grow stronger on their own; the second is rogue cultivator masters who bring their disciples into the cultivation world; thest, hehe, are those cultivators who have their sects destroyed or leave their sects under special circumstances."


    "The identity of a rogue cultivator and a sect cultivator can be switched. If a rogue cultivator wants to join a sect, as long as they have strong power or a special skill, like your good alchemy skills, they can easily be epted by a sect. And a sect cultivator who has been away from the sect for a long time will eventually be a rogue cultivator in the true sense."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "So a rogue cultivator relies on themselves, while a sect cultivator relies on the resources of the sect. I get it. One is a lone ranger, the other is a group.""Is it better to be a rogue cultivator or a sect disciple?"


    "Being a rogue cultivator is too difficult in the early stages, naturally, it''s better to be a sect disciple. However, when the cultivation level reaches a certain height, such as after the Elemental Infant stage, rogue cultivators are actually stronger than sect cultivators. This depends on personal choice."


    "Do you think I should be a rogue cultivator or a sect disciple?"


    "Nonsense, of course, it''s better to be a sect disciple. Do you even need to choose? There are resources, elders, cultivation methods, and ces to practice. Rogue cultivators don''t have these, they have to find everything on their own."


    "But it feels like the Heart Sect is about to be finished!"


    "There are plenty of sects in the world, many of which are willing to ept rogue cultivators. Somerge sects have countless outer disciples, many of whom were originally rogue cultivators. Of course, if you want to be an inner disciple or even a direct disciple, it''s very difficult as a rogue cultivator."


    "Large sects have many resources, many disciples, and immense power. As for the Heart Sect, there''s not much to it. If you leave, you leave. Anyway, you don''t have a good impression of this sect."


    "Alright, should I switch to another sect in the future?"


    "Let''s talk about thatter. What you need to do now is to save your life! The fights between sects, especially these sect extermination battles, are very cruel. You need to be prepared."


    "I''ve already experienced it once."


    "This time is different. If the Heart Sect loses this time, it''s likely that not a single chicken or dog will be left."


    Mi Xiaojing felt a chill in his heart, he gradually understood the cruelty and horror of this world.


    Wang Weijun said: "I have seen too many sects destroyed. If a sect cannot grow, the final oue is often not good."


    "When a sect is destroyed, the Cultivation World will have a group of rogue cultivators. Haha, then these cultivators whoe out of the sect will be yed to death by the real rogue cultivators."


    The new book has been on the shelf for a month, and the results are so good, thank you all for your strong support all along!!

 Chapter 193: The last Thousand Thunders

    <h4>Chapter 193: Thest Thousand Thunders</h4>


    "Disciples from the sect should be stronger, right? How could a rogue cultivator possibly defeat them?"


    "Which is stronger, a wild one or a domesticated one? A little wind and rain could wipe out the domesticated one."


    Mi Xiaojing shivered at the thought. Given his innocent state, he was likely to be the one defeated.


    After a moment, Mi Xiaojing suddenly blurted out, "But I have you! You''re an experienced rogue cultivator!"


    "Damn it! What do you mean by ''old rogue cultivator''? It sounds terrible! I am a cultivator who relies on my own strength, and I am quite powerful among rogue cultivators!"


    "That''s enough, you''re powerful, so doesn''t that mean I''m powerful too?"


    Wang Weijun was speechless. He couldn''t argue with that. He was always thinking about seizing Mi Xiaojing''s body. Before that, of course, he had to protect Mi Xiaojing. If Mi Xiaojing died, what would he seize? They would all be doomed, and any further thoughts would be useless.


    Before Wang Weijun could respond, the sky suddenly exploded.


    Boom!


    The earth shook and the mountains trembled!


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but curse, "It''s the Thousand Thunders again! What a waste of a treasure!"


    Yu Hong stood outside the main hall, suspended in the air. His face was gloomy. The mountain-protecting sword array, which could have held on for a few more days, was now unable to withstand the attack.


    The power of the Thousand Thunders was too great. If the array was intact and controlled by many cultivators, its power would be absorbed and dissipated. But now, with the core of the array damaged and no cultivators controlling it, the power of the Thousand Thunders was fully revealed.


    Yu Hong felt bitter. He never expected that the Vast Gold Sect would have another Thousand Thunders. This item was extremely rare, and having one was already surprising, let alone a second one.


    In the sky, colors were dazzling. It looked beautiful, but in reality, it was not. The entire sword array was copsing, and the shock waves were spreading out inyers.


    The defense of the Nine Peaks and One Mountain was activated, blocking all the iing shock waves. But those ces without defensive arrays were instantly engulfed in dust. The devastating impact could even shatter the sturdiest fortress.


    Especially the manor buildings, they copsed directly. Large ancient trees fell in swathes, their branches and leaves crushed and scattered in the impact, creating a scene like the end of the world.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. The true power of the Thousand Thunders was so terrifying!


    Then the mountain-protecting sword arraypletely copsed. The dense thunderous vibrations echoed from the sky to the ground. Even with the defense of the Nine Peaks and One Mountain, it was still shaking.


    Any house that had not been reinforced by special means began to copse in the violent shaking. Mi Xiaojing sat on the steps of the main hall, equally shocked by the intense movement.


    He now deeply believed that without the protection of the mountain-protecting sword array, and without the defense of the Nine Peaks and One Mountain, just one Thousand Thunders could destroy the entire sect. Although he didn''t dare to say it would be leveled, there wouldn''t be many people who could survive the explosion.


    Mo Yuer clung tightly to Wanbao, repeatedly saying, "Sister Bao, Sister Bao, it''s so scary!"


    Wanbao showed a hint of indulgence, gently patting her back and saying, "It''s okay, we have the defensive array, it won''t hurt us."


    Mo Yuer was still nervous, clearly she was frightened.


    Mi Xiaojing was also a bit nervous, but he was much stronger than Mo Yuer. After experiencing so many changes, his courage had grown a lot.


    Looking at the colorful lights in the sky, the original sword shadows all disintegrated, turning into a sky full of colorful lights. There were asional shes of lightning, and the dull thunder kept rumbling, rolling overhead.


    Every time the lightning struck down from the sky and hit the defensive array, it would ssh countless light spots. If it fell on the ground, it would create a huge pit.


    Yu Hong''s eyes were red as he stared at the sky.


    This mountain-protecting sword array was actually very well constructed, both in terms of defense and offense. Even in Wang Weijun''s eyes, the evaluation of this sword array was quite high.


    Unfortunately, the sect''s own strength was insufficient, and for some inexplicable reasons, this mountain-protecting array eventually copsed.


    Mi Xiaojing sat on the steps, feeling nauseous. The rolling thunder and dazzling lights made him extremely uneasy. It was a sense of horror before destruction.


    "Old man, why is the Thousand Thunders so powerful?"


    "Nonsense, this thing is not something ordinary people can get, let alone refine. I really don''t know how the guys outside got it. Sometimes, the depth of a sect is simply unimaginable."


    Wang Weijun was actually quite envious. The sect had a lot of treasures, especially those that had existed for a long time. Many good things made his heart move.


    The Nine Peaks and One Mountain stood alone on the ground. The entire sect, except for the Nine Peaks and One Mountain, all other buildings were destroyed. The mountain-protecting sword array alsopletely copsed. The earthquake was still ongoing, and the entire sect was shaking violently.


    Fortunately, those ordinary people were hiding in cers or caves. Although many died, most of them survived. This was arranged beforehand. If they were still hiding in the buildings, perhaps none of them would have survived.


    If the Nine Peaks and One Mountain didn''t have their own defensive array, they would probably have copsed a lot. Although there was no copse at the moment, it consumed a lot of energy from the defensive array.


    The mountain-protecting sword array, which was supposed tost for three days, copsed with one blow from the enemy. Let alone three days, it didn''t even hold up for a quarter of an hour. The only good news was that the Vast Gold Sect''s Thousand Thunders was consumed by the broken mountain-protecting sword array.


    Radix Notoginseng didn''t expect that the sword array of the Heart Sect was so fragile. As long as the power of the Elemental Infants was gathered, the sword array could be broken.


    This Thousand Thunders could actually have a greater effect. For example, the defensive array of the main peak absolutely couldn''t withstand the Thousand Thunders.Although Yu Hong was filled with anger, he understood that without the remaining mountain protection sword formation as bait, the Thousand Thunders alone would be too much for the Heart Sect to handle. No matter where it was used, the Heart Sect would not be able to resist it.


    "Please, no more Thousand Thunders."


    Yu Hong feltpletely uncertain. If the opponent had another Thousand Thunders, the Heart Sect would truly be powerless.


    However, if the opponent chose to attack head-on, Yu Hong still had confidence in holding his own. The main peak sword formation, the strongest sword formation of the Heart Sect besides the mountain protection sword formation, was also formidable under the control of many cultivators.


    The colorful light in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the azure blue sky, with a wisp of cloud far on the horizon.


    At the end of the horizon, many small ck dots suddenly appeared, drawing streaks of light and shadow. Those were the cultivators from the Vast Gold Sect!


    In the first month of the new book''s release, I''m grateful for the excellent results and your unwavering support!!


    ...

 Chapter 194: About to erupt

    <h4>Chapter 194: About to erupt</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing had already risen to his feet, looking up at the sky with a proud gaze. Almost all the disciples of the Heart Sect adopted the same posture, looking up at the sky with their chests held high. Everyone felt a heavy burden in their hearts. The enemy was here!


    The dust on the ground gradually began to rise, and suddenly, as if there was a huge suction force, the dust elerated its ascent, transforming into arge cloud of sand and dust that resembled a dark cloud, instantly obscuring the sky.


    At the same time, the figures in the sky disappeared into the dust. The experts of the Vast Gold Sect were adept at manipting sand and soil!


    In the previous two probes, the Vast Gold Sect had sent Elemental Infant stage experts. But this time was different. The Vast Gold Sect had brought all their disciples, not only Foundation Establishment stage experts, but even Foundation Establishment stage disciples.


    In addition, they had also invited a group of rogue cultivators. These people were like mercenaries, and their reward was whatever they could loot!


    This made it impossible for the Heart Sect to hire rogue cultivators on arge scale. They could only seek out well-known and powerful rogue cultivators with whom they had a good rtionship. Rogue cultivators had a bad reputation for deceit, theft, and other misdeeds, unlike the cultivators of the sects who were not so reckless.


    This was a disadvantage for them. Fortunately, the Foundation Establishment stage experts of the Heart Sect had made many acquaintances among the cultivators outside. These cultivators would be invited to help, although their fees were generally not low.


    Both sides were confident of defeating their opponents. The situation was like a thunderbolt striking a wildfire, a great battle was about to erupt.


    Radix Notoginseng, Oni, Banjin, the rogue cultivator Xu Zhongqing from Shui Luoze, and Da Tou Zhengtong, the Evolutionary Immortality expert Qian Du Qian, the six of them lined up in the sky. They could clearly see the situation below through the gaps in the rolling dust.


    Radix Notoginseng said, "Brother Xu, is there still no news from Senior Li Zhengcang?"


    Xu Zhongqing stared at the Heart Sect below and shook his head, "No, he may have gone out for a journey."


    Radix Notoginseng sighed, "What a pity. If we could invite Senior Li Zhengcang, the Heart Sect would not be able to resist at all. We could easily destroy them."


    Xu Zhongqing said, "We are enough."


    Da Tou Zhengtong shook his disproportionatelyrge head and said, "I just don''t know who the Heart Sect has invited. Have you investigated?"


    Oni said, "We have, but we haven''t received any news yet. There probably aren''t any experts joining them."


    Xu Zhongqing said, "As long as the other side doesn''t have any experts joining, the few people from the Heart Sect won''t be able to stop us. Hmm, brother, I hope that after this battle, you will give me that Divine Pill! I don''t care about anything else."


    Radix Notoginseng said, "Don''t worry, I won''t go back on my word."


    Xu Zhongqing was the strongest among them, and he was not afraid that Radix Notoginseng would break his promise.


    For a lone and unattached rogue cultivator, especially a powerful one, few people in the Cultivation World dared to provoke him.


    Unless you could kill the other party in one fell swoop, it was better not to provoke them. Just like Radix Notoginseng, who used to have a sect and had many concerns, but now he could attack the Heart Sect without any worries. The principle was the same.


    Banjin said impatiently, "Brother, the formation has been broken. Are we going to fight or not?"


    Radix Notoginseng said, "What''s the rush? They can''t escape! We need to concentrate our forces and first break through their main peak. Once we take down the high-ranking members of the Heart Sect, the entire sect will be nothing to worry about. We can eat them however we want. Remember, leave no one alive. I don''t want to see any survivors, only the dead can quell my anger!"


    Oni said, "The Heart Sect will be removed from the Cultivation World!"


    Banjin opened his mouth wide and let out a howl like a wolf, "Kill them all!"


    Qian Du Qian pulled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of contempt. A bunch of stupid cultivators who only knew how to shout and kill!


    Xu Zhongqing was indifferent. This was just his condition for obtaining the Divine Pill. He had no interest in killing the people of the Heart Sect. As long as he could break through the main peak''s defense and kill Yu Hong, who had the highest cultivation level, his task would bepleted. He was toozy to kill the others and toozy to talk.


    Da Tou Zhengtong''s eyes were filled with greed. What he wanted most was the treasure of the Heart Sect. As for killing, that was a normal state of his daily life. He liked to kill experts, especially those of the same rank.


    Radix Notoginseng said, "Send the order, start the attack ording to the previous arrangement!"


    The attacks of the others were just a distraction. The real attack still needed to beunched by the six Elemental Infant stage experts. Their target was the main peak of the sect.


    The cultivators on the main peak were all looking at the sky, and so was Mi Xiaojing at the entrance of the main hall.


    Mo Yuer suddenly screamed, "They''re here! They''re here!" Her voice was filled with terror.


    Wan Bao gently hugged her andforted her, "It''s okay, there are several ancestors here, they can''t get in."


    Yu Hong''s figure flickered and he disappeared from the spot in an instant. Yong Ji said, "Master has left, it seems that it''s about to start. Hmm, you stay here and don''t leave. There''s ayer of defense in the main hall, it''s safer here!"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded in agreement. He had no intention of showing off. In fact, hiding here had its pros and cons. He could safely observe the situation outside for the time being, but if something happened, it would not be easy to escape.


    Yong Ji hurried away. Unlike Mi Xiaojing, he was a full-timebat cultivator. To gain insights and improve his cultivation level, he needed to observe the battles of Elemental Infant stage experts up close. This was more important than anything else.Moreover, as the master''s direct disciple, Xiaojing had to go and support him in the battle no matter what.


    Wan Bao also left, his parting words were simr to Yong Ji''s. Mo Yuer was reluctant, but she couldn''t stop him. She watched Wan Bao leave with a bitter face.


    She had never truly seen the cruelty of cultivators. As the daughter of Sect Leader Mo Chentian, Mo Yuer had been well protected since childhood and had never experienced any setbacks.


    Only Mi Xiaojing and Mo Yuer were left at the entrance of the main hall. Mi Xiaojing was busymunicating with Wang Weijun and didn''t pay attention to Mo Yuer. He had rarely seen such battles and naturally wanted to watch closely.


    "Old man, are they controlling the dust?"


    "Of course, the Vast Gold Sect is a sect in the desert, they are definitely very proficient in earth magic. They use the dust to control and form power, and also to conceal their actions. This is normal, don''t be surprised."


    "Oh, I see."


    Mi Xiaojing felt like a dumb goose, not understanding anything. Fortunately, he was now talking to Wang Weijun, and his skin had thickened, so he didn''t mind the contempt in Wang Weijun''s words.


    "Hey, Senior Brother Xiaojing! Mi Xiaojing!"


    Mi Xiaojing''s divine sense was immersed in his Dan Tian,municating with Wang Weijun on the Heart Tower, and half of his attention was in the sky, so he didn''t notice Mo Yuer calling him.


    Mo Yuer pouted in anger. How could he be like this? Ignoring people and not responding to her calls. By the time she called out "Mi Xiaojing", she was already a bit angry.

 Chapter 195: Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 195: Ambush</h4>


    Mo Yuer''s voice was loud enough to finally wake up Mi Xiaojing, who turned his head around.


    "Are you calling me?"


    Mi Xiaojing pointed at his own nose, asking in a somewhat silly manner.


    Pfft!


    Mo Yuer, who was still huffing and puffing, couldn''t help butugh at the sight of Mi Xiaojing. His current appearance was adorably dumb, reminding her of a cat she had raised when she was young. Just like the cat when it had just woken up, he looked confused and clueless, with an expression that suggested he had no idea what was going on.


    Adding to that, Mi Xiaojing was good-looking and had a sincere aura about him, a quality brought about by his Evolutionary Immortality, which was quite rare in the Cultivation World. This gave Mo Yuer a sense of novelty.


    Mi Xiaojing was baffled, staring at her nkly, "Why are youughing?"


    This only made Mo Yuerugh even more. She covered her mouth, "No, I''m notughing haha." Her previously tense mood was instantly relieved. The reason she had called out to Mi Xiaojing was because she was feeling anxious. Unexpectedly, before she could say much, her nervousness hadpletely disappeared.


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "Has this girl gone mad?"


    Mo Yuer said, "This ce is very safe. Once my father and the others return victorious, we can go home." She had never considered the possibility of the Heart Sect losing.


    "Perhaps!"


    Mi Xiaojing clearlycked confidence, but he didn''t want to offend Mo Yuer, nor did he want to get too close to her, so he simply responded indifferently.


    Mo Yuer had never been neglected in her life. She had always been pampered and spoiled, so she waspletely oblivious to Mi Xiaojing''s aloofness. In her world, no one would ever be cold to her, and she didn''t even know what being cold was like.


    Mo Yuer was extremely beautiful, especially when she smiled, but unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing, a young boy with Evolutionary Immortality, never cared about appearances.


    Of course, a beautiful woman is generally weed wherever she goes. This is a natural advantage, making it hard for people to speak ill of her or dislike her.


    Mi Xiaojing was a bit troubled. He was busy observing the battle andmunicating with Wang Weijun. Mo Yuer''s approach left him with no time to respond.


    Actually, Mo Yuer didn''t really want to interact with Mi Xiaojing. She just needed a listener. Mi Xiaojing quickly realized this and stopped paying attention to her. However, he asionally had to respond with a "hmm" or an "ah", and then Mo Yuer would keep talking non-stop.


    "My father will definitely win. I know he''s very, very powerful!"


    "Hmm."


    "I heard that Uncle Yu is really angry this time and wants to..."


    "Ah, hmm, hmm!"


    "I wonder if everyone in my manor has hidden well."


    "Hmm, hidden..."


    Mi Xiaojing responded perfunctorily, secretlymunicating with Wang Weijun while keeping an eye on the battle in the sky. It was quite a feat for him to multitask like this.


    The defensive formation of the main peak had a certain counterattack function, but it couldn''tpare with the Mountain Protection Sword Formation. Its defensive capability was also greatly inferior. If they allowed these Elemental Infant experts to attack freely, it wouldn''t take long for the entire defensive formation to copse. Therefore, the Elemental Infant elders of the sect had no choice but to counterattack.


    In just a short while, the sky above the main peak had be a chaotic battlefield. Ice, fire, quicksand, all sorts of strange attacks were present. Sword qi crisscrossed, sword light shone, and various attack methods were used, making the sky dark.


    Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, and Mu Hengyuan all felt their hearts sinking. The six Elemental Infant experts on the other side were even stronger than they had anticipated. The four of them had already retreated to the edge of the defensive formation.


    Mo Chentian sent a message, "What should we do, Senior Brother? This Xu Zhongqing from Shui Luo Ze is at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant. We..."


    Yu Hong had no choice but to call for reinforcements, revealing their trump card. He knew in his heart that the four of them were far from enough and couldn''t win on their own.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin suddenly appeared behind the Vast Gold Sect experts. The two of them attacked one person simultaneously, who was the Radix Notoginseng Elder of the Vast Gold Sect.


    To break the siege, they had to injure one of the opponents!


    Radix Notoginseng was very powerful, having reached thete stage of the Elemental Infant, just one step away from the Great Perfection realm. However, Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were even stronger. Brahman Sa was at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant, and Yin Jin''s strength wasparable to Radix Notoginseng''s. The two of them teamed up to ambush one person, and even the powerful Radix Notoginseng suffered a great loss.


    Brahman Sa suddenly threw out her red cloak, which instantly turned into a cloud of red mist and fell towards Radix Notoginseng. Just as the red cloud was about tond on Radix Notoginseng, it suddenly emitted a dazzling red radiance, followed by Yin Jin''s sword, which turned into a dark cyan sword shadow and shot directly at Radix Notoginseng.


    The attack of Brahman Sa and her husband was sharp and deadly, especially since the two of them had been working together for many years, their coordination was simply perfect.


    Ban Jin was not far away. Seeing the red cloud covering down, he roared and swung his arm. The seven yellow bracelets on his arm flew out, turning into a stream of quicksand rushing towards the red cloud.


    The foundation of the Vast Gold Sect was inferior to that of the Heart Sect, especially in terms of magical swords. This Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword was not even a spirit sword in terms of quality. It was only under Ban Jin''s Elemental Infant nourishment that it had just begun to take the form of a spirit sword.


    In this regard, the Heart Sect was much more powerful. Some of the Foundation Establishment experts in the Heart Sect were using spirit swords.


    A dull thunderous sound, like being suppressed by a thickyer of clouds, was like the sound of firecrackers exploding under a nket. Ban Jin immediately suffered a great loss. The Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword couldn''t shake the red cloud at all. It was a joke. Brahman Sa was at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant. How could her magical weapon be shaken by Ban Jin?


    In an instant, the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword was knocked back, recondensing into seven bracelets, which were shattered by the red cloud and scattered in all directions. Ban Jin spat out a mouthful of blood. He cast a magical technique, and the seven bracelets flew back. He raised his arm, and the bracelets automatically slipped onto it.


    With just this one hit, there were cracks all over the seven bracelets. Ban Jin was shivering with heartache.


    His bare upper body, the patterns on his body surface actually transformed into a phantom armor, constantly wriggling. Ban Jin''s bald head was shaking continuously. His face was flushed, like he was drunk, and a line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His entire face was twisted.


    Who is she? Why is she so strong?


    Radix Notoginseng''s body was immobilized by the Red Radiance. In his anxiety, he released his own spiritual artifact. Instantly, countless sand and dust surged from the surface of his body. This sand was very special, gleaming with golden light, like dust formed from countless golden particles.


    Sandstorm Fury!


    The golden sand and dust suddenly transformed into a tornado, shooting straight up, holding back the falling red clouds.


    As the two magical treasures collided, the Sandstorm Fury managed to block the red clouds, but it was clearly very strenuous. However, these were still manageable. The most dangerous was Yin Jin''s sword, silently flying towards Radix Notoginseng, both fast and urgent. This was thebined attack of Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, an ambush that was impossible to guard against!

 Chapter 196: Between offense and defense

    <h4>Chapter 196: Between offense and defense</h4>


    Thousand Poisons was not far away, tilting his head to watch the scene. He saw clearly that Yin Jin''s attack was about to hit Radix Notoginseng. He even cracked a smile, showing no intention of intervening.


    Oni was a bit further away. Seeing the attack approaching, her eyes turned red. She shouted and suddenly swung out a purple rainbow light. She didn''t try to block Yin Jin''s sword, knowing it was toote. Instead, she attacked Yin Jin himself, trying to distract him.


    "Senior brother, watch out for the sneak attack!"


    Big Head Zheng also didn''t make a move. He just nced from a distance. He knew both Brahman Sa and Yin Jin. Although they weren''t close, he knew that this couple was not to be trifled with. He didn''t want to make enemies with them.


    Brahman Sa had already sat on the red cloud, looking like a mountain of flesh. She raised a chubby white hand and gently pressed it on the red cloud, causing it to suddenly sink.


    Radix Notoginseng knew he was in trouble. He had already sensed Yin Jin''s sword. Before he could react, he felt the red cloud above his head suddenly sink. The heavy pressure was terrifying.


    Xu Zhongqing sighed and made his move.


    A sword as clear and fluid as water suddenly appeared beside Radix Notoginseng.


    Yin Jin sighed quietly. He didn''t want to sh with Xu Zhongqing. There was a small gap in their cultivation levels, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.


    He cast a magical technique, and the sword shadow suddenly turned around, striking the purple rainbow light fiercely. Just one hit put Oni at a great disadvantage.


    Thud!


    A dull sound followed by an explosion: Boom!


    Yin Jin didn''t dare to sh with Xu Zhongqing, but he took the opportunity to strike Oni hard. His strength was far superior to Oni''s. Just one hit injured her.


    Oni kept retreating, her face turning pale instantly.


    Injuring two people, this couple''sbat experience was rich. Unfortunately, Xu Zhongqing intervened. Although Radix Notoginseng was also at a disadvantage, he managed to escape a disaster.


    Seeing that they couldn''t achieve their goal, Brahman Sa and Yin Jin decisively retreated, directly falling into the main peak''s defense array. As they left, Brahman Sa shed with Xu Zhongqing once, then calmly retreated.


    Brahman Saughed loudly, "That''s all you''ve got! Haha!"


    Yin Jin didn''t say a word, following Brahman Sa back into the defense array. Their sneak attack didn''t achieve its initial goal, but they managed to injure two people, which was a pretty good result.


    From their appearance to their retreat, it only took a few moments. They moved as fast as lightning, catching the Vast Gold Sect off guard.


    Radix Notoginseng''s face turned ashen. He was furious. This sneak attack had injured two of his own, and neither Thousand Poisons nor Big Head Zheng had intervened, which was infuriating.


    The sneak attack disrupted Radix Notoginseng''s rhythm, especially with Oni and the others injured, making them more passive.


    Yu Hongughed and came forward, saying, "When senior brother and sister make a move, it''s extraordinary. Haha, injuring two people, impressive!"


    Brahman Saughed so hard that her teeth were showing. The red cloak under her turned into a small red cloud, carrying her as she flew over. "Haha, it''s nothing. If they weren''t so many, we could have seriously injured Radix Notoginseng. But now, I''m afraid we won''t have the chance."


    Yin Jin said, "Xu Zhongqing is very strong, very strong! Be carefulter."


    Brahman Sa also said, "This old guy is indeed strong, but he may not be able to beat me!"


    Yin Jin said, "Hmm, let''s rest for a while. I guess we''ll have a fightter."


    They didn''t leave, but started cultivating right there, each holding a top-grade spirit stone. These were provided by the Heart Sect to help them recover their strength quickly.


    The Elemental Infant elders of the sect were all gathered at the main peak. They knew that once the main peak fell, everything would be over. As for the other peaks being captured, it wouldn''t affect the sect for the time being.


    The Vast Gold Sect had the same idea, focusing their attack on the main peak.


    Countless attacks fell. Once the enemy attacked, someone would resist, preventing the attack from hitting the defense array.


    The Vast Gold Sect''s attack focused on one point, and the Heart Sect naturally defended at this point. After several hours of fighting, the Vast Gold Sect''s attack waspletely blocked due to the injuries caused by Brahman Sa''s sneak attack.


    Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Radix Notoginseng decisively ordered to stop the attack and started to change tactics, looking for the weak point of the main peak''s defense array.


    Yu Hong and the others were not at ease. They didn''t n to go out and fight yet. Relying on the protection of the defense array, they had a basis for advancing and retreating.


    This kind of fighting was despised by Wang Weijun. He kept muttering on the Heart Tower, "I''ve never seen such idiots. Defense is always more passive than attack. Attack! These fools and idiots are really stupid!"


    Mi Xiaojing, who was not involved, was full of curiosity and asked, "Isn''t this good? Using the defense array to slowly wear down the opponent''s momentum, and then counterattack."


    "Wear down the opponent''s momentum? Do you think your own momentum can always be maintained? The one who is passively beaten is the one whose momentum is being worn down. Only by attacking can you boost morale. If the sect''s idiots don''t attack soon, hum, I think, this sect can''t hold on!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help butugh, "Old man, you''re too arbitrary. Maybe they have some secret weapon? This is their sect that they''ve been operating for many years. If they don''t have any secret weapons, that would be strange."


    "Hmm, I hadn''t considered that. The Heart Sect has such a long history, the predecessors should have left something behind. If they really didn''t, this sect is quite foolish."


    Mi Xiaojing was sitting at the entrance of the main hall, his hands propping up his chin. He had been looking up at the sky just now, but now he was staring into the distance. However, his Divine Sense was constantly conversing with Wang Weijun.


    Mo Yuer sat huffily to one side. Even if she was slow, she had figured it out by now. Mi Xiaojing didn''t like to interact with her. She had been talking for a long time, but all he had responded with were nomittal sounds, never aplete sentence.


    The young girl''s eyes were spitting fire, but she couldn''t curse at him. This was the first time she felt so dejected.


    At this time, Wanbao and Yong Ji returned. Both of them looked somewhat tired. After returning, they didn''t speak, but sat down cross-legged directly and began to recuperate and cultivate.


    In fact, the battles of Foundation Establishment cultivators were also very intense. It''s just that everyone''s attention was focused on the Elemental Infant cultivators, so they didn''t notice.


    The battles of Elemental Infant cultivators were extremely exciting and dangerous, naturally attracting attention. As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators, although their battles were also dangerous, they were somewhatckingpared to the Elemental Infant cultivators. Naturally, they didn''t attract as much attention.

 Chapter 197: Ding and Fire

    <h4>Chapter 197: Ding and Fire</h4>


    The battles of Foundation Establishment cultivators were scattered in every corner of the main peak of the sect, but Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay any attention to these fights.


    The main peak was vast, with gaps everywhere. During this period, the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages were exhausted. The Foundation Establishment cultivators were slightly better off as they were only responsible for continuous patrolling. Once an enemy appeared, they would immediately summon the Elemental Infant stage masters to defend.


    This made the Elemental Infant cultivators miserable. They had to patrol and fight at any time to prevent anyone from attacking any point of therge formation. Some hot-tempered fellows couldn''t stand this state and directly charged out to fight in ces far away from the Elemental Infant stage masters.


    Many Elemental Infant cultivators returned to the front of the main hall, each of them silent, sitting down on the spot to recuperate and cultivate. Mi Xiaojing soon discovered the reason - the spiritual qi here was the most abundant.


    Due to the activation of the defensive formation, a lot of the spiritual qi of the main peak was absorbed. Cultivating in other ces was far less effective than outside the main hall of the sect, so they all ran over.


    Those who had rested and recuperated would immediately leave to continue their tasks.


    Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were closer also ran over. They didn''t dare to approach the entrance of the main hall, but sat down at a distance to recuperate and cultivate.


    Mi Xiaojing just watched as people came and went. He noticed some cultivators who were injured, silently consuming spirit pills. Those cultivators without spirit pills were randomly sprinkling some medicinal powder on their wounds and bandaging them casually.


    A day passed with Mi Xiaojing in cultivation. Cultivators had no concept of time when cultivating. Basically, with a blink of an eye, half a day had passed. People came and went outside the main hall of the sect, and soon it was the second day.


    On the third day, Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were more injured people, and many of them were Elemental Infant cultivators.


    The battles during this period were very tough. Mo Chentian had already taken out all the healing spirit pills from the sect''s collection, but it was still far from enough. Especially now that all the peaks had cut off contact, even if they wanted to go to Qingmu Peak for alchemy, they couldn''t.


    Probably since the establishment of the Heart Sect, this was the first time they had been forced into such a situation. They had never thought that the peaks would cut off contact, making the cultivators of the main peak very ufortable.


    One day, Mo Chentian hurried over. When he saw Mi Xiaojing, his eyes lit up. Mi Xiaojing was sitting cross-legged on a rush cushion at the entrance of the main hall, seemingly cultivating. He didn''t disturb him and sat down not far from Mi Xiaojing.


    A group of Elemental Infant and Foundation Establishment cultivators were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out. This was the Sect Leader!


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and saw Mo Chentian. He was about to stand up and salute, but was held down by Mo Chentian, who said, "No need to get up, cough, I want to ask, can you refine pills now?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "I can refine pills, but I need earth fire and a suitable pill furnace, and also materials."


    Mo Chentian waspletely speechless. After a while, he said with a bitter smile, "We don''t have earth fire. There is a decent pill cauldron in the treasure house. Also, we don''t have many materials, mostly high-level ones. But what we need now are low-level spirit pills, mainly healing spirit pills. Do you have a way?"


    At this point, Wang Weijun had already started shouting on the Heart Tower, "There is a way! There is a bit of Golden me in the treasure house!"


    "What Golden me? I didn''t see it!"


    "Idiot, just because you didn''t see it doesn''t mean I didn''t. It''s on the bottomyer. I saw it at a nce. Ask him for it!"


    "If I ask for it, can I refine pills?"


    "Of course, isn''t that obvious? Why else would I ask you to get it? Hurry, that Golden me is a good thing!"


    Mi Xiaojing lowered his head, and Mo Chentian watched him anxiously. When the surrounding people heard about alchemy, they immediately became excited. Given the current consumption, healing spirit pills had be extremely scarce and were nowhere to be found.


    Any cultivator who participated in the battle, even if they had previously stored some healing spirit pills, would absolutely not be willing to take them out now. Even if they were injured in battle, as long as the injury was not severe, they would just clean and bandage it, sprinkle some medicinal powder, and absolutely not willing to consume spirit pills.


    Now seeing the Sect Leadere to inquire about Mi Xiaojing, everyone realized that Mi Xiaojing should be able to refine healing spirit pills. This was too important.


    Each of the Elemental Infant and Foundation Establishment cultivators stared at Mi Xiaojing with burning eyes.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There is a way, but it requires some conditions to possibly refine healing spirit pills."


    Mo Chentian was overjoyed and said, "What conditions? As long as the sect has it, we will definitely satisfy you!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "First, I need the Golden me from the treasure house!"


    "Second, I need a suitable pill cauldron, not the kind that relies on earth fire, but one that can use Golden me instead of earth fire. The pill cauldrons I have are not suitable. Third..."


    Mi Xiaojing listed his requirements while counting on his fingers.


    Mo Chentian knew that Mi Xiaojing had been to the treasure house, so it wasn''t particrly strange that he knew about the Golden me. The only thing that puzzled him was how Mi Xiaojing''s knowledge was so extensive, even recognizing the rare Golden me. It seemed that the inheritance he received was indeed powerful.


    "Okay, I''ll have someone fetch it right away!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s a pity that the materials are insufficient."


    Mo Chentian nodded, "I''ll solve that!"His solution was simple. Those who wanted to perform alchemy had to provide their own materials. They could pool resources together or pay individually.


    In addition, alchemy required a certain fee. This fee was demanded by Mi Xiaojing himself. It could be in the form of Spirit Stones or materials. These materials were not limited to alchemy materials, but could also include materials for refining tools.


    Mi Xiaojing did not take advantage of the situation to extort them. The fee he set was very low, and he even allowed temporary credit if there was no fee. He had long understood that if the Heart Sect was breached, he would not benefit at all. Moreover, the enemy wouldn''t care who you were, they would still hunt you down.


    Soon, the Pill Cauldron and Jin Yan were brought over, along with a batch of high-grade alchemy materials.


    This was a spiritual Pill Cauldron that could use earth fire for alchemy, or spirit fire like fire essence. In the eyes of a Pill Master, this Pill Cauldron was absolutely a priceless treasure.


    Kui Dragon Cauldron!


    Wang Weijun was surprised. He hadn''t noticed this cauldron when he was in the treasury.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is this Kui Dragon Cauldron famous?"


    Wang Weijun, sitting on the Heart Tower, waved his hand and said, "Not because of this cauldron, but because of the Kui Dragon. This cauldron uses the Kui Dragon spirit pattern. Few people in the Cultivation World understand this spirit pattern now. Look at this cauldron, it''s a rare single-footed cauldron. I don''t know where the Heart Sect got it from, but they even collected such a strange cauldron. Haha, but I just happen to understand!"


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "It seems like there''s nothing this old man doesn''t know. He''s really amazing."


    "The Kui Dragon Cauldron looks soplicated. Is this the Kui Dragon spirit pattern?"

 Chapter 197(2): Ding and Fire

    <h4>Chapter 197(2): Ding and Fire</h4>


    The battles of Foundation Establishment cultivators were scattered in every corner of the main peak of the sect, but Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay any attention to these fights.


    The main peak was vast with gaps everywhere. During this period, the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators were exhausted. The Foundation Establishment cultivators were slightly better off as they were only responsible for continuous patrols. Once an enemy was spotted, they would immediately summon the Elemental Infant elders for defense.


    This made the Elemental Infant cultivators miserable. They had to patrol and fight at all times to prevent anyone from attacking any point of therge array. Some hot-tempered fellows couldn''t stand this state and would directly rush out to fight in ces far away from the Elemental Infant experts.


    Gradually, many Elemental Infant cultivators returned to the front of the main hall. They all sat down silently to recuperate and cultivate. Mi Xiaojing soon discovered the reason - the spiritual Qi here was the most abundant.


    Due to the activation of the defensive array, a lot of the spiritual Qi of the main peak was absorbed. Cultivating elsewhere was far less effective than outside the main hall of the sect, so they all came running over.


    Those who had rested and recuperated would immediately leave to continue their tasks.


    Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were nearby also ran over. They didn''t dare to approach the entrance of the main hall, but sat down at a distance to recuperate and cultivate.


    Mi Xiaojing just watched as people came and went. He noticed some cultivators were injured and silently consuming Spirit Pills. Those cultivators without Spirit Pills were randomly sprinkling some medicinal powder on their wounds and hastily bandaging them.


    Mi Xiaojing spent the entire day cultivating. Cultivators had no concept of time when cultivating. Basically, with a blink of an eye, half a day would pass. People came and went outside the main hall, and soon it was the second day.


    On the third day, Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were more injured people, and many of them were Elemental Infant cultivators.


    The battles during this period were very bitter. Mo Chentian had already taken out all the healing Spirit Pills from the sect''s collection, but it was still far from enough. Especially now that all the peaks had cut off contact, even if they wanted to go to Qingmu Peak for alchemy, they couldn''t.


    Probably since the establishment of the Heart Sect, this was the first time they had been forced into such a situation. They had never thought that all the peaks would cut off contact, making the cultivators of the main peak very ufortable.


    One day, Mo Chentian hurried over. Seeing Mi Xiaojing, his eyes lit up. Mi Xiaojing was sitting cross-legged on a rush cushion at the entrance of the main hall, seemingly cultivating. He didn''t disturb him and sat down not far from Mi Xiaojing.


    A group of Elemental Infant and Foundation Establishment cultivators were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out. This was the Sect Leader!


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and saw Mo Chentian. He was about to stand up and salute, but was held down by Mo Chentian, who said, "No need to get up. Cough, I want to ask, can you refine pills now?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "I can refine pills, but I need earth fire and a suitable Pill Furnace, and also materials."


    Mo Chentian waspletely speechless. After a while, he said with a bitter smile, "We don''t have earth fire. There is a decent Pill Cauldron in the treasure house. Also, we don''t have many materials, mostly high-level ones. But what we need now are low-level Spirit Pills, mainly healing ones. Do you have a way?"


    Before Mi Xiaojing could speak, Wang Weijun had already shouted from the Heart Tower, "There is a way! There is a bit of Golden me in the treasure house!"


    "What Golden me? I didn''t see it!"


    "Idiot, just because you didn''t see it doesn''t mean I didn''t. It''s on the bottomyer. I saw it at a nce. Ask him for it!"


    "If we get it, can we refine pills?"


    "Of course, isn''t that obvious? Why else would I ask you to get it? Hurry, that Golden me is a good thing!"


    Mi Xiaojing lowered his head, and Mo Chentian watched him anxiously. When the surrounding people heard about alchemy, they were immediately excited. Given the current consumption, healing Spirit Pills had be extremely scarce and were nowhere to be found.


    Any cultivator participating in the battle, even if they had previously stored some healing Spirit Pills, would absolutely not be willing to take them out now. Even if they were injured in battle, as long as it wasn''t too serious, they would just clean and bandage the wound, sprinkle some medicinal powder, and wouldn''t bear to consume Spirit Pills.


    Now seeing the Sect Leader asking Mi Xiaojing, everyone realized that Mi Xiaojing should be able to refine healing Spirit Pills. This was extremely important.


    The Elemental Infant and Foundation Establishment cultivators stared at Mi Xiaojing with burning eyes.


    Mi Xiaojing raised his head and said, "There is a way, but it requires some conditions to possibly refine healing Spirit Pills."


    Mo Chentian was overjoyed and said, "What conditions? As long as the sect has it, we will definitely satisfy you!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "First, I need the Golden me from the treasure house!"


    "Second, I need a suitable Pill Cauldron, not the kind that relies on earth fire, but one that can use Golden me instead of earth fire. The Pill Cauldrons I have are not suitable. Third..."


    Mi Xiaojing listed his requirements while counting on his fingers.


    Mo Chentian knew that Mi Xiaojing had been to the treasure house, so it wasn''t particrly strange that he knew about the Golden me. The only thing that puzzled him was how knowledgeable Mi Xiaojing was. He even recognized the rare Golden me. It seemed that the inheritance he received was indeed powerful.


    "Okay, I''ll have someone fetch it right away!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s a pity that the materials are insufficient."


    Mo Chentian nodded, "I''ll solve this!"


    His solution was simple. Those who wanted to refine pills had to provide their own materials. They could pool together or pay individually.In addition, alchemy requires a certain reward, which Mi Xiaojing himself asks for, such as spirit stones, or materials. These materials are not just for alchemy, other materials are also eptable, such as those for refining tools.


    Mi Xiaojing did not take advantage of the situation to extort, the reward he set was very low, and even if there was no reward, he could temporarily credit it. He had long understood that if the sect was breached, he would not benefit at all, and the enemy would not care who you were, you would still be hunted down.


    Soon, the Pill Cauldron and Jin Yan were brought over, along with a batch of high-grade alchemy materials.


    This is a spiritual Pill Cauldron, which can use earth fire for alchemy, or spirit fire like fire essence for refining. In the eyes of a Pill Master, this Pill Cauldron is absolutely a priceless treasure.


    Kui Dragon Cauldron!


    Wang Weijun was surprised, he hadn''t noticed this cauldron when he was in the treasury.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is this Kui Dragon Cauldron famous?"


    Wang Weijun sat on the Heart Tower, waved his hand and said, "Not because of this cauldron, but because of the Kui Dragon. This cauldron uses the Kui Dragon spirit pattern, which few people in the Cultivation World understand now. Look at this cauldron, it''s a rare single-footed cauldron. I don''t know where the Heart Sect got it from, they even collected such a strange cauldron, haha, but I just happen to understand!"


    Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "It seems there''s nothing this old man doesn''t know, he''s really amazing."


    "The Kui Dragon Cauldron looks soplicated, is this the Kui Dragon spirit pattern?"

 Chapter 198: Kui Dragon Alchemy

    <h4>Chapter 198: Kui Dragon Alchemy</h4>


    The Kui Dragon Cauldron had a rare appearance, with a single foot, or a single support point, unlike other pill cauldrons that either had three or four feet. It was rare to see a cauldron with a single foot, which meant that the Kui Dragon Cauldron did not stand on its foot, but had some other mystery.


    Single foot, round belly, thin neck, the mouth of the cauldron was a monster''s mouth, roaring towards the sky. The whole appearance looked extremely bizarre.


    Before it was activated, the Kui Dragon Cauldron was only the size of a palm, emitting a faint glow. It could be held in one hand and looked very delicate.


    Mi Xiaojing found that the treasures of the Cultivation World, once they reached a certain level, there were no ugly things.


    After careful consideration, Mi Xiaojing had some understanding of the Kui Dragon''s spiritual patterns, but to master them, unless Wang Weijun helped, it would be impossible to seed without some time to explore.


    The Golden me was ced in a transparent bottle. Not to mention the Golden me, the bottle itself was also very special.


    This was a bottle directly formed by sealing spiritual patterns, with seven spiritual patterns. Its framework was made of ten-thousand-year-old profound ice. Holding it in hand, there was an extremely cold feeling, but it waspletely isted by the seal.


    A bit of Golden me, only the size of a soybean, was apletely golden me. Its body was very small, emitting a golden glow, filling the entire bottle, like a bottle full of golden liquid, withyers of fluctuations, spreading out from the Golden me in circles.


    "So beautiful!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know how to describe it. The golden me was like a living thing, with its waves carrying a certain magical rhythm, making people unconsciously immersed in it.


    Wang Weijun reminded him, "Don''t get addicted!"


    Mi Xiaojing was startled and immediately came to his senses. Such a treasure naturally made people addicted!


    As the Sect Leader, Mo Chentian was somewhat heartbroken to take out the best collection of the sect. However, the sect had reached a critical moment. If there were healing Spirit Pills, the strength of the main peak would not decline too quickly. If there were Cultivating Essence Pills, the endurance of the sect''s experts could be greatly improved.


    This was a price the sect had to pay.


    There were also various alchemy materials collected by the sect, all of which were high-grade goods. Some of them even made Wang Weijun exim in admiration. However, many of the materials were not useful to Mi Xiaojing at the moment.


    Strictly speaking, these were materials for refining higher-level Spirit Pills. With Mi Xiaojing''s current cultivation level, it was impossible to refine them, even if he had the inheritance, he still couldn''t do it.


    However, Mi Xiaojing would not refuse these high-grade materials and immediately collected them. Precious materials were naturally never too many.


    Mo Chentian said, "If you need anything else, just say it. As long as the sect has it, there will be no problem. Of course, it is limited to alchemy."


    Mi Xiaojing was not surprised. Mo Chentian was not so foolish. He would not give anything unrted to alchemy. If it weren''t for the current emergency, with the shortage of Spirit Pills affecting the battle, he would not have taken out so many treasures.


    For the ce of alchemy, Mi Xiaojing directly chose the main hall of the sect, which was the safest ce.


    Of course, this was also the most dangerous ce. If the enemy broke in, they would definitely rush to the main hall first. This was the core area of the sect.


    Seeing that Mo Chentian was still standing and not leaving, Mi Xiaojing said, "Sect Leader, I need some time to study. I can start alchemy only after I understand it. This is my first time dealing with the Kui Dragon Cauldron and the Golden me."


    Mo Chentian nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone over to follow your orders!" After saying this, he left cleanly and called someone to follow the orders.


    Not everyone could enter the main hall of the sect. They had to have the approval of the sect''s high-level officials to enter.


    Yong Ji, Wan Bao, and Mo Yuer, the three of them followed Mi Xiaojing''s orders. Mo Chentian knew that his daughter was idle and didn''t need to fight, so he simply assigned her a task to shut other people up.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing''s storage bracelet contained many Spirit Pills, especially low-level ones. But he couldn''t sell them at this moment. If he sold them at a high price, it would definitely cause public anger. So he kept silent until Mo Chentian came here, and he found an opportunity and also got two treasures of the sect.


    Now as long as Mi Xiaojing started alchemy, he could sell the Spirit Pills he had refined before.


    With the help of Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing finally activated the Kui Dragon Cauldron and sessfully put the Golden me into the Kui Dragon Cauldron. The two sessfullybined.


    Wan Bao was assigned to guard the door, Mo Yuer took orders, and Yong Ji received materials and delivered Spirit Pills, providing a one-stop service.


    The activated Kui Dragon Cauldron was not too big, with a diameter of only two feet. Even after being erged, this Pill Cauldron was still extremely delicate. Between the Kui Dragon''s spiritual patterns, there were faint white mists swirling around. The entire Kui Dragon Cauldron was suspended above the ground, with its single foot not touching the ground, but with a finger''s gap. In other words, the entire Kui Dragon Cauldron was floating in the air.


    The bottle of the Golden me had not been unsealed yet. This seal could not be opened. It was put into the Pill Cauldron as a whole, and the Golden me automatically sank into the fire chamber of the Pill Cauldron. There were special spiritual patterns here tomunicate with the seal, which could guide the energy of the Golden me.


    This was apletely new way of refining, which was quite different from the previous alchemy. Of course, there were also many simrities. The previous alchemy experience was also helpful for this alchemy.


    He tried to refine a batch of Clear Tranquility Pills.


    Everything went smoothly at the beginning. The heat was a little difficult to control, but Mi Xiaojing quickly found that the me brought by the Golden me was really stable. He could now control it precisely.


    The earth fire used for alchemy before was controlled by the fire control formation. Various uncontroble factors could ruin a batch of pills inadvertently. But now the source of fire was not only stable but also controble in size, which saved a lot of effort.


    After trying to control it a little, Mi Xiaojing was extremely surprised in his heart. This was definitely a top-grade Pill Cauldron for alchemy. Once his cultivation level increased, he could definitely refine higher-level Spirit Pills.Using the Kui Dragon Cauldron to refine low-level Spirit Pills is somewhat wasteful. This Pill Cauldron is a major consumer of Spirit Stones. The golden me, if not ced in the cauldron, basically has no consumption. However, once it is put in, after each alchemy, a certain amount of Spirit Stones needs to be added to replenish the energy of the golden me. If the refining continues, the golden me will gradually weaken.


    Only by replenishing Spirit Stones can the golden me continue to perform alchemy for a long time. Moreover, as time goes by, the quality of the golden me will gradually improve. If Spirit Stones are not used, the quality of the golden me will not decrease, but it will not improve either.


    Using the Kui Dragon Cauldron for alchemy, the speed is extremely fast. In no time, Mi Xiaojing found that the pill was about to be formed. He was full of anticipation for the final Condensing Elixir process.

 Chapter 199: Stalemate

    <h4>Chapter 199: Stalemate</h4>


    In an instant, the Condensing Elixir waspleted, and a strong aroma of the elixir spread out. Many injured cultivators gathered at the entrance of the main hall. They didn''t dare to enter, but when the aroma of the elixir wafted out, they couldn''t help but sit cross-legged to absorb the free-floating elixir scent in the air, which could also alleviate their injuries.


    Mi Xiaojing was a bit stunned. The result of this elixir production surprised him.


    There were a total of eighteen Clear Tranquility Pills. Among them, one was a failed pill, ten were lower-grade pills, and there were also five middle-grade pills and two standard high-grade pills. This kind of elixir condensation situation was the first time Mi Xiaojing had encountered it.


    Generally speaking, either all were failed and lower-grade pills, or all were lower and middle-grade pills, or all were middle and high-grade pills. It was rare to see such a range, from failed pills to high-grade pills. What kind of elixir production method was this?


    Also, the quantity wasrge. When refining elixirs with earth fire, there was rarely such arge output.


    "Old man, this way of producing elixirs is strange!"


    "What''s so strange about it? Using earth fire and golden me can''t bepared. Moreover, this is the Kui Dragon Cauldron. Don''tpare it with your garbage pill cauldrons. It''s normal for the Kui Dragon Cauldron to produce a lot of elixirs!"


    "Oh."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless. He really didn''t know the gap between the two would be so big.


    However, he quickly cheered up. Being able to produce more elixirs was a good thing no matter what, as it could save a lot of time.


    Wang Weijun said, "Indeed, a lot of low-level spirit pills will be produced. However, if you switch to spirit pills used in the Elemental Infant stage, there will be much fewer. Of course, it''s definitely much stronger than before. The higher the grade of the spirit pill, the fewer elixirs will be produced. Don''t be too happy too early."


    Mi Xiaojing began to refine pills with everyone''s materials, which solved a big problem. The cultivators fighting on the main peak often didn''t dare to let go because of theck of healing spirit pills. They instinctively chose a conservative approach. Once something went wrong, they would immediately retreat to the defensive array, and the overallbat power would invisibly drop a lot.


    With the healing elixirs refined by Mi Xiaojing, the overallbat power of the main peak began to rise, and many cultivators dared to fight.


    Part of the spirit pills were taken away by the sect, which was for those disciples who had made contributions. Part of them were given to the cultivators who provided the materials. Mi Xiaojing didn''t keep any, nor did he receive any rewards. He considered it as practice. He even subsidized some materials and refined some more spirit pills.


    There was one thing that Mi Xiaojing understood very well. Everyone was in the same boat. As long as the boat didn''t sink, everything would be fine. Once the boat sank, everyone would be doomed.


    No matter how much Mi Xiaojing disliked this boat, since he was on it, he had to make an effort.


    As a result, the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment and Condensing Elixir stages in the sect began to recognize Mi Xiaojing. Also, because of his spirit pills, he gained the respect of others. This had nothing to do with strength and cultivation level. They respected Mi Xiaojing''s serious attitude and recognized and appreciated his alchemy level.


    In this way, Mi Xiaojing''s poprity in the Heart Sect soared. No one would offend a master alchemist. Except for Chen Shouyi, who was jealous and ruthless among his peers, everyone else was showing goodwill openly or secretly.


    Of course, Chen Shouyi was not currently on the main peak. He was staying at Qingmu Peak. Due to the rise of Mi Xiaojing, his status was not as good as before. The high-level members of the Heart Sect were quite disappointed in him. This time, he was not brought to the main peak, but was asked to stay at Qingmu Peak, which made Chen Shouyi extremely dissatisfied.


    The offensive and defensive battle became more and more brutal. The cultivators of the Elemental Infant stage fought from time to time, but basically, it was one-on-one. The cultivators of the Condensing Elixir and Foundation Establishment stages, on the other hand, fought in groups. Back and forth, the whole main peak was bustling.


    Mi Xiaojing turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on refining his healing spirit pills.


    In just over ten days, Mi Xiaojing had exhausted all the materials for refining healing elixirs and had to stop refining low-level spirit pills. He began to work on spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage. Anyway, there were still a lot of materials for refining Hakutaku Pills and Nurturing Infant Pills. It was good to use them to practice when he was idle.


    Outside the main peak, the high-level cultivators of the Elemental Infant stage from the Vast Gold Sect gathered together.


    Continuous battles made Radix Notoginseng feel very tired. He didn''t expect that the main peak of the Heart Sect would be so difficult to conquer. Several joint attacks were all blocked by the opponent. The strength of the two sides was limited, and both sides suffered losses. However, very few people died at present, and neither side had reached the point of desperation.


    Especially Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng Tong, both of them were all talk and no action. Every time they fought, they would retreat as soon as something went wrong. Radix Notoginseng gritted his teeth at the sight, but now was not the time to turn against them, so he could only bear it.


    The main peak couldn''t be taken down, and the other nine peaks were the same. Radix Notoginseng''s face was getting worse and worse. He could still support it on the surface, but he was losing confidence in his heart.


    "We still don''t have enough manpower. If we could invite a Dividing Spirit stage expert, we could directly break the defense of the main peak. This defensive array is really annoying!"


    O''neill said, "We can''t invite anyone, sigh!"


    Thousand Poisons sneered and said, "Invite who? Just hold on, they can''t hold on for long. Relying on a defensive array to defend to the death, how much ambition can they have? If theye out to fight to the death, it would be better. They are all like turtles with their heads retracted, all their sharpness has been worn away. Hehe, it won''t be long before they are done!"


    O''neill was very annoyed with this guy. He talked more than he did. He didn''t exert much strength in the battle, but his mouth was full of flowery words. This was the kind of person she despised the most.


    Big Head Zheng Tong also said, "Yes, don''t worry, don''t worry!"


    Radix Notoginseng wished he could kick these two bastards to death.


    O''neill didn''t dare to stay where she was. She was afraid that she couldn''t help but curse out loud. She said, "Senior brother, I''ll go over there and have a look."


    Ban Jin never liked to talk nonsense. He always fought at the forefront. Even if he was injured, even if he couldn''t beat his opponent, he still fought desperately. The people of the Heart Sect were actually quite afraid of him. A desperate Elemental Infant old monster, even cultivators with a higher level of strength, didn''t dare to fight hard.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, on the other hand, tried to trick him several times. But Ban Jin had Xu Zhongqing standing behind him, who always took action at critical moments. It wasn''t that the two had a deep friendship, but Xu Zhongqing thought Ban Jin was a good person, simple and crazy, and couldn''t bear to see this straightforward guy being tricked to death, so he took more care of him.With Radix Notoginseng asionally lending a hand, Banjin became their vanguard, always charging ahead. His fearless demeanor earned Yu Hong''s admiration. This man was born for ughter.


    Seeing Radix Notoginseng''s ashen face, Da Tou Zheng and Thousand Poisons knew exactly why, but they didn''t care in the slightest. Did they expect people to risk their lives for such a small reward? That was wishful thinking. They were here to earn and to rob, not to throw their lives away.


    The two exchanged a nce and ascended into the sky in perfect sync.


    Thousand Poisons smiled and said, "Let''s go up and observe, see if there''s an opportunity."

 Chapter 200: Linglong Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 200: Linglong Mountain</h4>


    Radix Notoginseng remained silent, just quietly watching the two leave.


    There was no other choice but to continue the stalemate, Radix Notoginseng didn''t have any better ideas for the moment.


    As time passed, the battles on both sides began to thin out. The asional outbreak of a fight was of low intensity, almost a touch-and-go situation. Neither side wanted to fight to the death.


    No wonder, the only ones who really wanted to fight to the death were the three elders of the Vast Gold Sect. The people they had invited had no intention of fighting to the death. They were here to take advantage of the situation, not to risk their lives.


    The elders of the Heart Sect were also unwilling to fight to the death. They had a way out. If they were in danger, they would retreat into the defensive formation. Moreover, they were more afraid of getting injured. Given the current situation, they were the mainstay of the sect''s survival. If they were damaged, the sect would be in even greater danger.


    The situation strangely calmed down, and both sides were nervously nning.


    Radix Notoginseng gathered everyone to discuss strategies in the ruins at the foot of the mountain. This was where Mi Xiaojing''s home, the Gathering Spring Vi, used to be.


    The ancient trees and small buildings in the front yard were all shattered, and the bamboo pavilion in the back yard was the same. However, the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring was still there, so the Spiritual Qi here was still abundant, which was why Radix Notoginseng chose this ce.


    Radix Notoginseng said, "The existence of this defensive formation prevents us from attacking their sect''s base. We must find another way to attack. This dy is not in our favor!"


    "If only we had another Deadly Thousand Thunder, we could break the defensive formation in one fell swoop!" someone said.


    Radix Notoginseng twitched at the corner of his mouth. The Deadly Thousand Thunder was not a Spirit Stone that could be obtained just by asking for it. The sect had only collected two, and they had already been used up in the attempt to seize the Heart Sect''s base. Where could they find another one?


    Xu Zhongqing said, "Actually, I have an ancient spiritual treasure that can break their defense, but this ancient spiritual treasure... requires a lot of Spirit Stones, and they must be top-grade Spirit Stones. The cost is a bit high..."


    Radix Notoginseng''s eyes lit up immediately. He asked, "What kind of ancient spiritual treasure?"


    The Thousand Holes and Hundred Pores Linglong Mountain!


    Radix Notoginseng heard of it for the first time, but there were countless spiritual treasures, and it was impossible for anyone to know them all. The others also looked confused, only Thousand Poisons showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.


    "Is it called... Thousand Holes and Hundred Pores Linglong Mountain?"


    Xu Zhongqing looked surprised. This guy was really knowledgeable, he actually knew about the Linglong Mountain!


    "That''s right, it''s the Thousand Holes and Hundred Pores Linglong Mountain!"


    Thousand Poisons nodded and said, "If it''s this ancient spiritual treasure, then breaking the defensive formation is not a big problem. However, I heard that this thing... although it''s powerful, the cost is not small. The number of Spirit Stones required..."


    Xu Zhongqing said, "Yes, you''re right. At least a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones are needed to activate it once... If you want to exert its full power, then even more Spirit Stones are needed!"


    Everyone around fell silent. It was a joke, more than a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, the cost was not small at all.


    Xu Zhongqing said, "That''s why I hesitated and didn''t take it out."


    Radix Notoginseng and another person exchanged nces, both showing a hint of helplessness in their eyes. This was clearly extortion, and they couldn''t refuse.


    "How many top-grade Spirit Stones are needed for one attack? How many in total?"


    "Three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones can activate the Linglong Mountain, and then each attack requires eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones..."


    "What do you mean?"


    Thousand Poisons suddenly interrupted, "Isn''t it clear? The Linglong Mountain has never been activated before, it needs... three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones to activate, and the subsequent attacks are calcted separately, each requiring eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones."


    "What?"


    Someone eximed, "Why do we have to pay for the activation of the Linglong Mountain?"


    Xu Zhongqing spread his hands and said with a smile, "The Linglong Mountain is in my hands, and I''ve never used it. I''m a rogue cultivator, and Spirit Stones are always in short supply. I really can''t activate it... If you don''t need it, then forget it."


    With an indifferent expression, Radix Notoginseng knew he had been taken advantage of, but he couldn''t refuse.


    The extortion was such that it was impossible to refuse. Xu Zhongqing was indeed cunning, just seizing one opportunity made Radix Notoginseng in a dilemma.


    Aftermunicating with each other, Radix Notoginseng finally gave in. He knew he couldn''t dy any longer, and what finally made him make up his mind was a sentence from Thousand Poisons.


    "What''s there to hesitate about? Once the main peak of the Heart Sect is broken, there will be as many Spirit Stones as you want."


    This sentence immediately tempted Radix Notoginseng. No matter what, as long as they defeated the Heart Sect, everything the Heart Sect had collected would belong to the Vast Gold Sect. Even if they didn''t seize many Spirit Stones and treasures, the foundation would belong to the Vast Gold Sect. Would they still be afraid of not having Spirit Stones in the future?Handing over three hundred and eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones, Radix Notoginseng''s face turned green. This transaction had depleted almost half of his collection. He knew very well that this was extortion, but Xu Zhongqing was using an open strategy, a tant form of extortion. You could choose to give or not to give, but could Radix Notoginseng really refuse?


    Xu Zhongqing was overjoyed. The Linglong Mountain was an ancient spiritual treasure he had obtained by chance. After some research, he regretfully discovered that this thing consumed arge amount of Spirit Stones, and the higher the grade of the Spirit Stones, the better. As a Rogue Cultivator, Spirit Stones were hard toe by, so of course he was reluctant to activate it, so this treasure had always been carried with him.


    This opportunity was excellent. For a Rogue Cultivator like Xu Zhongqing, if he didn''t seize the opportunity, he would be a fool.


    He had studied it for a long time and had a deep understanding of Linglong Mountain, knowing how to use it. However, this thing was too exploitative, each attack required the consumption of top-grade Spirit Stones.


    Unless a sect held this thing, he, as a Rogue Cultivator, really couldn''t afford to use this treasure.

 Chapter 201: Eat Spirit Stone!

    <h4>Chapter 201: Eat Spirit Stone!</h4>


    Exciting and ad-free! Most sects would have a Spirit Stone mine, and over time, they could umte a certain amount of high-quality Spirit Stones. Even if the quantity was notrge, they could still amass some over time.


    Rogue Cultivators, on the other hand, had no such luck. Unless they were masters of Refining Tools or Alchemy, they would struggle to umte high-quality Spirit Stones, let alone produce them inrge quantities at once.


    Radix Notoginseng said, "Senior Brother, let''s see how to activate the Linglong Mountain."


    Three hundred high-quality Spirit Stones were just for activating the Linglong Mountain. Radix Notoginseng was somewhat skeptical. He wanted to see it with his own eyes, otherwise, he would feel cheated.


    Xu Zhongqing had obtained arge number of high-quality Spirit Stones, and his mood was extremely good. He nodded and said, "Don''t worry, I will activate the Linglong Mountain in front of everyone."


    No one present understood the Linglong Mountain. Even if they had heard of simr ancient spiritual treasures before, they had never truly owned one. When they heard that Xu Zhongqing was going to activate the Linglong Mountain on the spot, it immediately aroused their interest.


    Thousand Poisons said, "That''s good, let everyone watch, so no one will have any misunderstandings, haha!"


    O''Ni red at Thousand Poisons, whoughed carelessly.


    Xu Zhongqing said, "Everyone, follow me." He turned into a long rainbow and flew into the distance. Both sides were licking their wounds for the time being, and it was rtively calm. Leaving for half a day or a day was basically not a problem.


    Theynded on a mountain not far from the Heart Sect. Thousand Poisonsughed and said, "This ce is not bad, let''s see... the Linglong Mountain with thousands of holes!"


    The treasures of the Cultivation World were countless. Once they reached a certain level, few people were willing to take them out. This time, Xu Zhongqing had taken arge sum from Radix Notoginseng, so he had no choice but to show it to everyone.


    Xu Zhongqing took out the Linglong Mountain and pointed at it. The Linglong Mountain was suspended in the air for everyone to observe closely.


    This was a delicate and exquisite solitary peak, which looked very peculiar. The mountain was covered with small holes and was beautifully colored. The green mountain body, the dense small holes, asionally spewed out a trace of extremely fine white mist, and the mountain body emitted a faint green Treasure Light.


    The Linglong Mountain gave people a faint sense of threat. Everyone present was a master of the Elemental Infant stage, and they could clearly feel the power of the Linglong Mountain.


    Thousand Poisons'' eyes lit up: "Good treasure, good treasure!"


    Big Head Zheng''s eyes shed with greed, but this thing belonged to Xu Zhongqing, and he didn''t dare to snatch it.


    Radix Notoginseng nodded and said, "As expected of an ancient spiritual treasure, Senior Brother, please activate it quickly!"


    Xu Zhongqing looked at everyone''s reactions and sneered in his heart. With his Cultivation level, he was not afraid of these guys at all. He nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll activate it."


    He cast a Magical Technique, and in an instant, the Linglong Mountain began to expand, bing half a person''s height. Now everyone could see it more clearly. Once the mountain was erged, its immense momentum became apparent, giving people a sense of extreme danger.


    Various lights shot out from countless holes, deep blue, cyan, light cyan, light green, green, emerald green, reflecting everyone''s faces in a green light, looking eerie.


    Xu Zhongqing flicked his finger, and a high-quality Spirit Stone shot out, instantly captured by the Linglong Mountain.


    The Treasure Light in the holes was like countless sharp des. In an instant, it shattered the Spirit Stone as if it were breathing. All the holes inhaled at the same time, and the powder formed by the Spirit Stone was sucked into the holes.


    Xu Zhongqing''s fingers kept flicking, and one high-quality Spirit Stone after another shot out.


    Every time a Spirit Stone hit the Linglong Mountain, it would instantly turn into powder and be quickly absorbed. It was simply magical. Everyone was stunned. You should know that high-quality Spirit Stones are extremely hard and difficult to crush. But in front of the Linglong Mountain, they were easily crushed and directly turned into cloud-like fragments. This thing was indeed worthy of being an ancient spiritual treasure.


    The Linglong Mountain was like a Glutton, tirelessly devouring the Spirit Stones. Everyone couldn''t help shaking their heads. This thing was simply abnormal in its consumption of Spirit Stones. No wonder Xu Zhongqing didn''t dare to activate it. It was too terrifying.


    Xu Zhongqing didn''t stop, continuing to shoot out high-quality Spirit Stones. All three hundred and eighteen high-quality Spirit Stones were devoured. As the Spirit Stones disappeared, the Linglong Mountain kept making noises. It was the sound of wind blowing through the holes, carrying a terrifying and eerie melody, giving people a sense of horror.


    Xu Zhongqing exined, "This sound is automatically emitted by the Linglong Mountain. It has no lethal power, so don''t worry."


    Another Magical Technique was cast, and the Linglong Mountain suddenly shrank, then expanded, then shrank and expanded again, as if it was breathing rhythmically. In the process, it emitted even more Treasure Light, which shot up into the sky.


    Xu Zhongqing was shocked, but he quickly reacted. There were many people on his side, and they were all masters, so there should be no problem.


    The Treasure Light shooting into the sky would attract masters. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area and should not find any masters stronger than himself. Even so, he continuously cast Magical Techniques and Incantations to stop the Treasure Light from scattering.


    In an instant, the Treasure Light dimmed. Xu Zhongqing realized his carelessness. He cast several more Magical Techniques, and the Linglong Mountain spun in the air, fell directly into his palm, and then disappeared. He still didn''t dare to take risks.For high-level cultivators, the Treasure Light is like a beacon in the night. As long as it''s within their visual range, they are guaranteed to spot it immediately. This fleeting Treasure Light can generally be confirmed as a magical treasure of a cultivator. If the Treasure Light persists, it is likely an unimed object, and whoever finds it, owns it. This is an infallible method to attract high-level cultivators.


    Even though Xu Zhongqing has already reached the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, he dared not be careless. The world of cultivation is full of experts, and an Elemental Infant stage cultivator really isn''t much.


    Radix Notoginseng asked, "Can we attack the main peak of the Heart Sect now?"


    Xu Zhongqing replied, "We can only attack once. If we need to attack continuously, one attack will cost eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones!"


    Hiss!


    Even Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng gasped in surprise. They had previously thought that this was Xu Zhongqing''s bargaining tactic.


    Radix Notoginseng was also stunned, "What? Senior Brother... are you, are you serious?"


    Xu Zhongqing solemnly said, "I''m not joking. Look... three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones to activate Linglong Mountain, right? Then eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones for one attack, yes, only once... If we don''t have a certain amount stored, we can only attack once. If we want more attacks, each one will cost eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones."


    He was flustered as he spoke, but what did it matter if he lied? The real Linglong Mountain only required one hundred and eight top-grade Spirit Stones to initiate an attack. Of course, Linglong Mountain could store arge amount of energy. Not to mention three hundred Spirit Stones, even adding a thousand wouldn''t be a problem. No matter how many Spirit Stones, Linglong Mountain could swallow them.


    Oni''s face turned purple and green. She clenched her fists, her mouth twitching, wishing she could immediately fight this shameless guy.

 Chapter 202

    <h4>Chapter 202 </h4>


    Xu Zhongqing said, "If you guys are reluctant, then just one more attack. If you can break the formation, you''ll have achieved your goal. If you can''t, well, you''ll have to think of something else! As for the Spirit Stones used before, I can''t refund them. They''ve all been swallowed by Linglong Mountain."


    Radix Notoginseng''s face turned red, a sign of extreme anger. He had never encountered such a shameless person before. After a moment, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "Are you sure... how many times can you break the formation?"


    Xu Zhongqing chuckled, "Not counting the previous attempts, at least three more attacks. That is, fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones. It''s not much, really. You''ve already used arge amount, you won''t care about this little bit of Spirit Stones, right? Hehe..."


    Damn you!


    Radix Notoginseng cursed inwardly!


    Innread].


    But no matter how much he cursed, it was useless. The other party was clearly extorting him, take it or leave it!


    He felt extremely frustrated. This anger was burning in his stomach, making his eyes red. But he had no choice but to give in. Now, he was relying on breaking the main peak''s defense and then robbing the Heart Sect. Maybe he could make up for the loss.


    In the end, Radix Notoginseng and Oni managed to scrape together fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones. They were almost penniless. Of course, they still had plenty of middle and low-grade Spirit Stones. But almost all of their high-grade Spirit Stones were taken by Xu Zhongqing. No, they were taken by Linglong Mountain, allowing it to exert its maximum power.


    After obtaining this treasure, Xu Zhongqing had been thinking about how to use it freely. But after discovering its secret, he had be somewhat desperate.


    Getting so many high-grade Spirit Stones from a rogue cultivator was too difficult. The key was that only high-grade Spirit Stones could activate it. Middle and low-grade Spirit Stones were useless. He had tried using them, and while Linglong Mountain would swallow them, there was no reaction afterwards.


    This had caused him to resent it for a long time. But gradually, he had given up on the idea of activating it. Until this opportunity came along, Xu Zhongqing didn''t hesitate to take action, ruthlessly fleecing Radix Notoginseng. The other party was clearly in extreme pain, but still obediently handed over the Spirit Stones, which made Xu Zhongqing feel great.


    Taking out Linglong Mountain again, Xu Zhongqing didn''t hesitate to put the fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones into it.


    Radix Notoginseng said, "So, we can attack four times... I hope you can do it, senior brother!"


    Xu Zhongqing patted his chest and said, "Don''t worry, leave it to me. I guarantee to break their defense formation, haha!" Heughed heartily, feeling very satisfied. With Linglong Mountain having consumed so many high-grade Spirit Stones, it would be enough for seventeen or eighteen attacks, let alone four.


    They returned to the vicinity of the main peak of the Heart Sect.


    Radix Notoginseng was furious, but he couldn''t fall out with Xu Zhongqing. So, he vented his anger on the Heart Sect. He said, "Everyone, get ready. Once the defense formation is broken, we''ll all rush in together. I don''t want a single one of them alive!"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Mi Xiaojing had no more pills to refine. The materials that could be gathered had basically all been refined. The remaining materials were hard to use together. He was nowpletely idle.


    However, the Spirit Pills that Mi Xiaojing had refined had almostpletely healed the injured cultivators on the main peak. This made the Elemental Infant stage experts very satisfied. Having such a Pill Master could indeed greatly enhance the strength of the sect.


    All the cultivators on the main peak had seen Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy skills. They were incredibly strong. With his cultivation level, he could actually refine so many Spirit Pills. It was simply unbelievable. This earned Mi Xiaojing the respect of everyone.


    But Mi Xiaojing was bing more and more nervous. ording to Wang Weijun, the Heart Sect couldn''t hold on any longer. The fact that they had managed to hold on until now was already a blessing.


    If at the beginning, the sect''s cultivators and the experts they had invited had all gone out to fight together, there might have been a chance of winning. More likely, they could have driven the enemy away. But now it was very difficult. The enemy was calmly making arrangements, and the Heart Sect had almost no chance of defeating them. The opportunity was gone.


    Mi Xiaojing checked his equipment over and over again. Although he was a bit nervous, he was only just that, nervous. He wasn''t too afraid of anything else.


    Having been in the Heart Sect for so long, Mi Xiaojing had indeed obtained some treasures. Just for escaping, he had a great escape talisman. This could ensure that he could escape quickly before encountering a powerful enemy.


    Mo Yuer had already been taken away by Wanbao, and Yong Ji had also left. In front of the main hall of the sect, there were still many cultivators meditating. There were both Foundation Establishment stage and Elemental Infant stage cultivators. The spiritual qi here was rich, making it one of the best ces to recover.


    Fortunately, there hadn''t been any fights recently. Those who had been injured before had time to heal, and most of them had already recovered. The reason they stayed here and didn''t leave was because the spiritual qi was abundant, which was very beneficial for cultivation. These people had never had the opportunity to cultivate here before, and many of them didn''t want to leave once they came.


    But Yu Hong and the others were sitting on the top of the main peak. They all felt that something was wrong. The Vast Gold Sect had been quiet for several days, as if they were brewing something. There were many methods in the Cultivation World, many of which required time to set up. They all felt this unease, and the intuition of cultivators was usually very urate.


    Yu Hong said, "Junior sister, if it really doesn''t work, we''ll have to disturb him... Sigh, I didn''t expect that this time, our Heart Sect would be so passive."


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden hesitated for a moment, then said, "We haven''t reached that point yet, have we..."


    Mo Chentian gave a bitter smile, "We should still go and inform him. If he doesn''t want to, we''ll think of something else."


    Brahman Sa said, "Hey, who are you guys talking about? Who else in the Heart Sect could you call ''elder''?"


    Yu Hong said, "An elder..."


    Brahman Sa was shocked, "An elder! You have an elder, and you''re still being attacked at your sect?"


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden exined, "This elder is in seclusion... deep seclusion... We don''t know if we can reach him. He has been in seclusion for 130 years, without any news."


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were both stunned. There was actually such a powerful person. The Heart Sect really kept their cards close to their chest!Yu Hong didn''t want to disturb this senior at all. He knew a lot and understood that if this senior was noting out of seclusion on his own, but was awakened instead, the consequences would be quite severe. However, he had no other choice at this point. His sense of crisis was growing stronger, and he was genuinely afraid that the entire Heart Sect would be destroyed by his own hands.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden left directly, flying towards the location of the sect''s main hall. In a moment, she entered the underground Mysterious Heaven Formation. That senior was in seclusion within the Mysterious Heaven Formation, in a very hidden location.


    Brahman Sa watched the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden leave and said, "I find it strange. Your Heart Sect is, after all, a historically long-standing cultivation sect. Howe you don''t have many good things?" (To be continued.)

 Chapter 203: Power up

    <h4>Chapter 203: Power up</h4>


    Yu Hong gave a bitter smile and said, "We did have a few treasures in the past, but they were taken away by our seniors a long time ago and have never been returned..."


    Indeed, the sect did possess treasures, but with his level of power, he was simply incapable of activating them. Those were spiritual treasures that only cultivators with a cultivation level above the Divided Spirit stage could use.


    As for what they could use, it was limited to personal spiritual swords, without any truly powerful spiritual treasures.


    Among them, an ancient sword of spiritual treasure level, which was originally stored in the treasury, was now carried by Yu Hong.


    They were already considering emptying the treasury to prevent it from being looted if the sect was breached. If the treasures were kept with a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage, even if an ident urred, they would still have arge amount of resources to counterattack after escaping.


    After all, it was very difficult to kill a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin secretly marveled. They were truly curious about which powerful figure from the Heart Sect''s past was. They were both old cultivators and knew almost everything about this. Yet, they had never heard a whisper about a senior expert hidden in the Heart Sect. It was truly mysterious to the extreme.


    After a while, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden returned.


    Yu Hong asked, "Junior sister, how is it?"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden replied, "I have sent the message, but there is no response yet..."


    Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, and Mu Hengyuan all showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes. It was normal for the senior to not respond while in seclusion. If he did respond, it would be abnormal.


    But now, the sect was at a critical moment. If the sect was breached, the ce where the senior was in seclusion would likely be broken into as well. If they were unprepared at that time, things would be even more troublesome.


    Whether it was the Vast Gold Sect or the Heart Sect, they both had hidden cards. However, the hidden card of the Vast Gold Sect had been dealt with, while that of the Heart Sect was still uncertain.


    Mi Xiaojing was also talking to Wang Weijun.


    "Kid, you''d better leave this hall as soon as possible. This ce is definitely a death trap!"


    p??wread].


    "I know, this is the core area of the sect. Before the enemy breaks the formation, this is the safest area. But once the enemy invades, this ce will be the first target. It''s indeed time to leave, but where should we go at this time?"


    "Anywhere, just don''t stay here!"


    "Old man, do you really have no faith in the Heart Sect?"


    "Pah, a bunch of kittens with no abilities, pretending to be high-level cultivators. A sect with such a long heritage doesn''t even have a decent Pill Master. It''s rare to see a sect that has been living off its past glory to this extent. The only decent thing is therge sword formation protecting the mountain, but they even managed to mess that up. It''s really hard for me to have confidence in them."


    "A bunch of wastes, a bunch of idiots. If the seniors of the Heart Secte back, they would probably die of anger!"


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. This was too dismissive. He didn''t think the Heart Sect was that bad, but in Wang Weijun''s mouth, it was utterly worthless, with not a single good point, all negative reviews.


    "Let''s go! Why are we still staying here!"


    Suddenly, there was amotion around them. Someone pointed to the sky and shouted, "What is that?"


    Mi Xiaojing quickly looked up.


    A mountain! He saw a very magical mountain, just hanging abruptly in the high sky above the main peak!


    Everyone was in an uproar, and Wang Weijun also saw it: "Kid, that''s a spiritual treasure! Be careful!"


    Yu Hong and the others on the main peak saw it even more clearly. Their faces all changed. They suddenly realized that this was what the Vast Gold Sect had been preparing for these past few days, intending to use it to break the defensive formation.


    Hold it up!


    This was the thought of every Elemental Infant expert present. One by one, they released their spiritual swords, preparing to hold up the mountain when it pressed down. They hadn''t reacted yet, this was an ancient spiritual treasure.


    The cultivators on the main peak were all staring at the sky in a daze. Everyone knew this was the Vast Gold Sect''s killing move, but before it fell, they inevitably thought that with the defensive formation and the Elemental Infant stage elders present, this thing shouldn''t be able to harm the main peak, right?


    From the moment the Linglong Mountain appeared until everyone noticed it, a full minute passed. It just hung there motionlessly. The cultivators of the Heart Sect were all confused. Why don''t you fall? What''s the point of hanging up there?


    It wasn''t that Xu Zhongqing didn''t want to press down with the Linglong Mountain, but after he fully activated the attack mode of the Linglong Mountain, he realized thatunching an attack was not as simple as he thought.


    There were still many problems that hadn''t been solved, which made his face turn green.


    Ban Jin was a crude and impatient man by nature. Even though he was already a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage, he was still the same. He said, "Attack! Attack!"


    Xu Zhongqing regretted in his heart. He should have tried it first. He was confused and was urged by several people from the Vast Gold Sect, so he flew directly to the main peak.


    No one had expected that there would be steps required to form an attack.


    They had originally nned to catch them off guard by smashing the main peak with Linglong Mountain. However, while Linglong Mountain did activate, they couldn''t execute the smashing action, which infuriated the group of Elemental Infant old monsters, especially those from the Vast Gold Sect, who were extremely angry.


    Ban Jin was extremely irritable, continuously shouting, "Strike! Smash! Why aren''t you moving!"


    Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Zhongqing shouted, "Shut up!" His immense Elemental Infant Great Perfection aura directly suppressed Ban Jin.


    Ban Jin''s face changed drastically. He hadn''t expected Xu Zhongqing to turn against him so quickly. He couldn''t withstand Xu Zhongqing''s immense aura and kept retreating.


    "Thousand Poisons" Qian Da shouted, "They''reing up!"


    Seeing that things were going wrong, Yu Hong and the others each released their weapons in an attempt to attack Linglong Mountain. They also flew out of the defensive formation, no longer able to rely on it. At this point, they could only fight desperately.


    A chaotic battle ensued.


    Yu Hong faced off against Radix Notoginseng, while Brahman Sa directly targeted Xu Zhongqing. Both of them were at the Elemental Infant Great Perfection cultivation level. In reality, Xu Zhongqing was stronger than Brahman Sa. He was a veteran Elemental Infant Great Perfection cultivator, while Brahman Sa was just a newly promoted expert. However, Xu Zhongqing was hindered by Linglong Mountain, and for a time, the two of them were evenly matched.


    Xu Zhongqing shouted, "Help me hold her off!"


    Yu Hong roared, "Kill!"


    No one helped Xu Zhongqing. No one wanted to get involved in a fight with an Elemental Infant Great Perfection cultivator. Xu Zhongqing was forced to release his own spirit sword, barely blocking Brahman Sa''s attack. Half of his attention was on Linglong Mountain.


    One magical technique after another, Linglong Mountain grew evenrger, expanding rapidly like a balloon.


    Xu Zhongqing''s spirit sword took a defensive stance, barely blocking Brahman Sa''s attack.


    "Thousand Poisons" Qian Da and Big Head Zheng retreated towards the distance. Neither of them wanted to fight to the death, they were just each holding off one person.


    "Thousand Poisons" Qian Da held off Mu Hengyuan, while Big Head Zheng held off the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden.


    Mo Chentian faced off against Ban Jin, while Yin Jin faced off against Oni.


    The cultivators on the main peak all looked up at the sky. The space above the main peak had turned into aplete mess.

 Chapter 204

    <h4>Chapter 204 </h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was also looking at the sky. The battles of Elemental Infant stage cultivators were extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to disaster.


    It was clear that the Heart Sect had the upper hand, but seeing the Linglong Mountain in the sky, Mi Xiaojing had a bad feeling.


    "Go to the foot of the mountain, stop watching!" Wang Weijun said.


    Mi Xiaojing looked around and knew that teleporting here would be too conspicuous, so he started running down the mountain.


    "You idiot, you don''t need to teleport, but you could at least fly!" Wang Weijun shouted.


    Only then did Mi Xiaojinge to his senses. He quickly released his Thunder Sword and sped along the ground. At this moment, Linglong Mountain finally fell.


    When Linglong Mountain fell, a massive repulsive force suddenly erupted. Brahman Sa had originally suppressed Xu Zhongqing, but as soon as Linglong Mountain moved, she realized something was wrong. The enormous force directly sent her flying.


    Linglong Mountain emitted a dazzling light, and Xu Zhongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He shouted, "Smash!" He had been forced into a frantic state by Brahman Sa, and this anger finally erupted with the movement of Linglong Mountain.


    Linglong Mountain possessed a vast repulsive force. This force not only smashed downwards, but also affected the Elemental Infant stage masters fighting around it. Everyone was sent flying by this tremendous force.


    The cultivators on the main peak were in chaos, watching Linglong Mountain fall with their own eyes. Every cultivator''s heart was copsing. Such arge mountain was falling, and anyone could see that the defensive formation would be hard to resist.


    People on the upperyers of the mountain were frantically fleeing downwards. Some people directly left the main peak and flew outwards. However, there were countless rogue cultivators wandering outside the mountain. Once they went out, they would immediately be besieged.


    When Linglong Mountain fell, it emitted a thunderous roar, like the howling of ghosts and wolves. This sound came from the holes in Linglong Mountain, shaking people''s souls.


    Mi Xiaojing was flying downwards, asionally looking back.


    He could clearly see Linglong Mountain pressing down, and his heart was shocked to the extreme. There was such an attack method, it was simply too terrifying!


    Whether it was Yu Hong and the others, or the group led by Radix Notoginseng, they all temporarily stopped their attacks. They watched Linglong Mountain fall with their own eyes, and they were also frightened by this momentum.


    It was as if a giant hammer was smashing down on the top of the main peak.


    In an instant, the entire mountain shook violently. It had to be said that the defensive formation of the Heart Sect''s main peak was quite good. It actually withstood the first blow, but all the cultivators standing on the ground were overturned by the huge shock.


    This was like poking a ho''s nest. Almost all the cultivators who could fly flew into the air. More and more people flew out of the defensive formation, and the outside was immediately in chaos.


    Xu Zhongqing had already stood on Linglong Mountain, surrounded by green Gang energy. He now understood that as long as he released Linglong Mountain and stood on it, no one else could attack him. Thinking of how he had been suppressed by Brahman Sa just now, he was quite annoyed.


    "Rise!"


    Linglong Mountain suddenly rose.


    "Attack!" Yu Hong shouted.


    Yu Hong, Mo Chentian, Mu Hengyuan, Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, Brahman Sa, and Yin Jin, the six of them attacked Xu Zhongqing at the same time.


    The six of them attacked with all their might, and Radix Notoginseng and the others did not try to stop them. Xu Zhongqing''s tant extortion had left a bad taste in the mouths of the Vast Gold Sect.


    As for Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng, they wouldn''te to the rescue either. Risking their lives for Xu Zhongqing? They''d rather not.


    So the six people''s attacks were directly aimed at Xu Zhongqing.


    Xu Zhongqing had already figured out Linglong Mountain. Although he was still a bit unfamiliar with controlling it, he could barely manage. He saw everything happening around him and couldn''t help but sneer.


    He cast a magical technique with one hand and simultaneously recited an incantation. Suddenly, Linglong Mountain''s light flourished, and it stopped rising and rushed towards the six people. The speed was so fast that Linglong Mountain emitted a sharp scream!


    Yu Hong and the others were shocked, and Radix Notoginseng and his group were also terrified because they were also in the line of the attack.


    What was even more terrifying was that green Gang energy extended from the holes in Linglong Mountain, constantly pressuring everyone. It was truly a chaotic scene, with everyone frantically fleeing.


    Xu Zhongqingughed wildly. Everyone failed to escape and was directly hit by the massive Linglong Mountain. Everyone was injured in this attack, not only Yu Hong and the others, but also the people of the Vast Gold Sect, and even Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng didn''tpletely dodge it.


    It was just that the two of them were standing a bit far away and were only grazed. But even this slight contact made the two of them scream in pain.


    Among the people present, Brahman Sa, Yin Jin, and Yu Hong were only slightly injured and could recover after a little cirction of their true essence. The unlucky ones were Mo Chentian, Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, and the others. Their injuries were the most serious.


    They hastily swallowed Spirit Pills. Everyone knew that they absolutely couldn''t show any weakness at this time, or else attacks would follow one after another.


    Xu Zhongqing snorted coldly and cast another magical technique. Linglong Mountain rose to the sky again and then smashed down crazily. At the same time, Xu Zhongqing shouted, "Radix Notoginseng! I''vepleted my task!"


    Boom!


    The defensive formation finally couldn''t withstand the second blow and shattered instantly. What was even more terrifying was that the top of the main peak was smashed down by more than twenty meters by this blow. The entire main peak made a terrifying cracking sound, as if it was about topletely shatter.


    The cultivators of the Heart Sect felt a chill in their hearts. How were they supposed to fight this?


    Mi Xiaojing felt countless fragments falling from above his head. Fortunately, he was controlling the sword, and any fragments that came close to his body were ground into dust by the Thunder Sword.As the defensive array shattered, the cultivators outside rushed in. Sword light flickered in Mi Xiaojing''s eyes. The sounds of battle, angry shouts, collisions, and booming explosions all merged into a cacophony, plunging the Heart Sect into utter chaos.


    Radix Notoginseng roared, "Your task isn''t finished!"


    Xu Zhongqing sneered, "When I say it''s finished, it''s finished. If you don''t agree... heh heh!"


    Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng didn''t hesitate at all. The moment the defensive array broke, they charged towards the sect''s main hall.


    Azure Descent Immortal Maiden and Mu Hengyuan shouted angrily, closely following behind.


    Just then, augh echoed from the high sky. Everyone could hear the voice, as clear as if it was ringing right next to their ears, "Hehe, not bad... there are actually people ying with Linglong Mountain. Come, show me!" It was a woman''s voice.


    Xu Zhongqing was furious, "Who? Who the hell is talking?"


    p!


    A harsh pnded on Xu Zhongqing''s face, sending him flying. He watched in disbelief as the massive body of Linglong Mountain seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand and began to shrink violently.


    Radix Notoginseng, Yu Hong, and others were dumbfounded. They had heard the voice but couldn''t see anyone. Then they saw Xu Zhongqing being pped and sent flying. They had no idea what kind of move it was that could send a Great Perfection Elemental Infant cultivator flying!


    "Hehe, if you dare to speak again, I''ll smash your head!"


    Thanks to Xiaoxiao Sword Dao, Autumn Dream, and other book friends for their rewards and support! (.)

 Chapter 205: Bloodstained

    <h4>Chapter 205: Bloodstained</h4>


    Xu Zhongqing was scared out of his wits. He had no idea where the p hade from, and the casual words of the other party made it seem like he was not taken seriously at all. It felt like he was being treated like an ant.


    As he watched the Linglong Mountain rapidly shrinking, Xu Zhongqing suddenly realized that the other party was trying to forcibly snatch his ancient spiritual treasure. He immediately became anxious. He loved the power of this treasure and certainly didn''t want it to be taken away.


    In an instant, Xu Zhongqing cast dozens of magical techniques, trying to retrieve the Linglong Mountain.


    However, the Linglong Mountain showed no reaction and continued to bepressed bit by bit. When it waspressed to the size of a millstone, it suddenly flew towards the distance.


    Xu Zhongqing was horrified and chased after it with his sword. He had only flown less than a hundred meters when he was knocked down by an invisible force. He heard a giggle in his ear.


    Yu Hong, Radix Notoginseng, and others were all stunned. Then they realized that a super expert had appeared, which scared the Elemental Infant stage masters into a cold sweat.


    Xu Zhongqing watched as the Linglong Mountain disappeared into the sky. He felt cold all over. He tried to adjust his breath and found that he was not injured. In other words, the other party had shown mercy.


    When the ancient spiritual treasure Linglong Mountain was taken away, Xu Zhongqing realized that his confidence had been entirely in the Linglong Mountain. This sudden loss made him extremely depressed. He knew very well that if he had mastered the Linglong Mountain earlier and stored it in his Dan Tian, nourishing it with his Elemental Infant for a while, the other party would not have seeded so easily.


    He had just activated it and hadn''t even figured out some of the mysteries of the Linglong Mountain. It was normal for it to be snatched away. After all, the ancient spiritual treasure had such a strong Treasure Light. If Xu Zhongqing could fully control it, the Treasure Light would not have shot straight into the sky.


    Xu Zhongqing was filled with grief and anger, and this anger was directed at the Heart Sect.


    Originally, after breaking open the defensive array of the Heart Sect, Xu Zhongqing nned to stop, considering it aspleting the task assigned by Radix Notoginseng. Even if Radix Notoginseng didn''t approve, he didn''t n to make another move. Of course, he would never let go of the Divine Pill promised by Radix Notoginseng. As for the rest, he didn''t bother to worry about it.


    However, Xu Zhongqing didn''t expect that although the defensive array of the Heart Sect was broken, the Treasure Light attracted a powerful expert, and the Linglong Mountain was taken away!


    What was even more frustrating was that he didn''t even know who had taken it. This towering anger had nowhere to vent. Seeing the cultivators below, Xu Zhongqing exploded and rushed down, starting a massacre.


    Whether it was the cultivators of the Heart Sect, the rogue cultivators invited by Radix Notoginseng, or the subordinates of the Vast Gold Sect, as long as they were human, he would kill them. He felt that he couldn''t vent his anger if he didn''t do this.


    This action enraged Yu Hong. He said, "Senior Sister, I need your help. Kill Xu Zhongqing!"


    If Xu Zhongqing still had the Linglong Mountain, Brahman Sa really wasn''t sure if she could fight him. She had suffered a bit just now. But now that the Linglong Mountain was gone, the biggest threat was also eliminated. Brahman Sa and her husband looked at each other and pounced at the same time.


    The couple, one at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant period and the other at thete stage of the Elemental Infant period, were hard to resist even for Xu Zhongqing, a veteran Great Perfection stage master of the Elemental Infant period.


    When the Elemental Infant masters attacked the Foundation Establishment or even the Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, casualties quickly urred. The gap in strength between the two was huge, and once targeted, there was no escape.


    Mi Xiaojing escaped very quickly. The moment everyone started to panic, he teleported directly, aiming for the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    As soon as he revealed himself, he saw a person he recognized, Han Chang!


    This guy was hiding in the ruined small building. When he saw Mi Xiaojing appear, he was overjoyed. He had wanted to kill Mi Xiaojing for a long time but never had the chance. Now that the whole sect was in chaos and the outside was a mess, he felt that his opportunity hade!


    Without saying a word, he swung his sword directly.


    In an instant, a rainbow sword left a deep trench on the ground. Han Changughed and said, "Now... you should be dead!"


    "You''re the one who should be dead!"


    The voice sounded in Han Chang''s ear. Han Chang was horrified. Before he could react, he was hit hard on the head, followed by a storm of attacks.


    Old and new hatred surged up in his heart. Mi Xiaojing used teleportation to dodge Han Chang''s attack and appeared behind him. He started to beat him wildly. At this moment, his heart was full of hatred.


    Wang Weijun was jumping up and down on the Heart Tower, shouting, "Kill him, kill him! Yes, take him down!"


    Each of Mi Xiaojing''s punches was apanied by a mantra attack. Each hit made Han Chang feel heartbroken. Moreover, Mi Xiaojing specifically targeted Han Chang''s head. Soon, Han Chang''s face was swollen like a pig''s head, bing much fatter.Grabbing Han Chang by the hair, Mi Xiaojing swung him up with a forceful jerk. Han Chang was hurled into the air, then smashed hard onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Like a ragged sandbag, he was repeatedly mmed onto the ground, sideways, lengthways, until he waspletely wrecked by Mi Xiaojing.


    His arms, legs, waist, neck, every bone in his body was broken. It was fortunate that he was a cultivator, which was the only reason he was still alive. At first, he was screaming, butter, he could only whimper.


    Wang Weijun was still shouting, "Kill him!"


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don''t want to kill anyone!"


    Wang Weijun was furious, "If you don''t kill him, he will kill you one day!"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "Not necessarily!"


    "What do you mean?"


    "I won''t kill him, but I''ll cripple him!"


    With a p, he struck Han Chang''s Dan Tian, instantly destroying it. Once a cultivator''s Dan Tian was destroyed, all their cultivation level would be lost.


    Mi Xiaojing had never killed anyone in his life. Influenced by Evolutionary Immortality, he had no interest in killing. Of course, if it was a matter of life and death, he believed he could do it, but now he was still hesitating.


    Wang Weijun stopped talking, a chill rising in his heart. After a moment, he said, "You might as well kill him!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Why?"


    awread.


    Wang Weijun didn''t exin, nor did he speak. Then Mi Xiaojing heard Han Chang''s roar, "You... kill me... kill me!"


    Looking at Han Chang, who was as ragged as a torn rag, the anger in Mi Xiaojing''s heart gradually subsided. He asked, "Do you want to die?"


    Han Chang''s eyes were filled with madness. He trembled, "Yes, I want to die. I regret... regret not killing all of you Evolutionary Immortals back then. I regret... regret not killing you when I saw youst time! Now, you live, I die! Haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing was deeply shocked. How cruel must the world be to breed such thoughts? After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Alright, you will be the first person I kill."


    With a p, he struck Han Chang''s head. In an instant, Han Chang''s head turned into mush.


    At that moment, a look of sorrow appeared on Mi Xiaojing''s face. Not for Han Chang, but for himself.

 Chapter 206: Thousand Poisons means or methods

    <h4>Chapter 206: Thousand Poisons'' means or methods</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing silently recited the mantra, a prayer for his deceased master.


    As the mantra was spoken, Han Chang''s originally ferocious face gradually calmed down. His soulpletely dissipated under the mantra, and all his remaining tricks were ruined.


    He had been prepared to start cultivating as a ghost after Mi Xiaojing left, swearing to take revenge. However, under Mi Xiaojing''s mantra, his soulpletely dissipated, and everything was in vain.


    Wang Weijun watched in shock. He couldn''t hide anything from him. He didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing had really killed someone, and he did it very calmly, without any excitement or hesitation, as if he had done a very ordinary thing.


    This kid is a freak!


    Wang Weijun thought to himself, the most terrifying thing was that the mantra recited by Mi Xiaojing could actually eliminate karma!


    He could detect the dissipation of Han Chang''s soul, and he was extremely shocked because cultivators were powerless against the soul. It was very difficult to dissolve the soul. The most powerful method was to imprison the soul, but it was absolutely impossible to dissipate the soul.


    When Han Chang''s soul dissipated, the Heart Tower actually solidified a bit more. Mi Xiaojing also noticed this, but he couldn''t figure out what was going on.


    Wang Weijun reminded him, "Leave here quickly!"


    Mi Xiaojing was a little confused and asked, "Where to?"


    Wang Weijun said, "Anywhere is fine, just go! Ah, it''s toote, hide!"


    Mi Xiaojing''s figure shed slightly, and he hid in the corner of a broken courtyard wall. There was a rumbling sound from the sky. He peeked and saw two figures fighting fiercely. One of them he recognized as the elder of the sect, Mu Hengyuan.


    Mu Hengyuan was strong, but Thousand Poisons was stronger. Mu Hengyuan was fighting desperately, while Thousand Poisons was teasing him. Yes, he was teasing Mu Hengyuan. With his real strength, he didn''t even put Mu Hengyuan in his eyes. Even if it was Xu Zhongqing, he was confident to fight!


    Originally, Thousand Poisons was going to break into the main hall of the sect, but he had just yed half to death a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heart Sect. He wanted to force some information about the treasury of the Heart Sect, but who knew that Mu Hengyuan would kill him. The two directly confronted each other.


    From the outside of the main hall of the sect, all the way to the sky above the Gathering Spring Courtyard, Mu Hengyuan became more and more frightened. This person was so powerful!


    The weapon of Thousand Poisons was very strange, it was a ck bowl, simply put, it was a big bowl, held in his hand, each attack was a flick of the bowl body, and then a string of purple-ck mantras flew out of the bowl mouth. The most amazing thing was that each mantra script would turn into a ck lotus.


    Thousand Poisons also stepped on a ck and purple lotus under his feet, and his speed of advancing and retreating was incredibly fast, like lightning. Every time he flicked his fingers, several fist-sized purple-ck mantras would appear, and then quickly turned into ck lotus flowers, attacking Mu Hengyuan.


    Although Mu Hengyuan''s spirit sword was extremely strong, every time he shattered the purple-ck lotus, the spirit sword would be stained with a trace of green-ck. Just from the main hall of the sect to the Gathering Spring Courtyard, his spirit sword was wrapped in arge group of hair-like substances.


    Because Thousand Poisons came and went like electricity, he was extremely hard to fight.


    Mi Xiaojing was peeking, and Wang Weijun suddenly said, "That person is an Evolutionary Immortal! It''s strange, an Evolutionary Immortal is involved in the dispute of the cultivation sect, no, this person is not entirely an Evolutionary Immortal, he actually cultivated like you!"


    Mi Xiaojing also understood that Thousand Poisons was indeed an Evolutionary Immortal, and he found that the other party''s mantra was incredibly powerful. Every time Thousand Poisons flicked the bowl body, the Heart Tower in his body would tremble eagerly. In fact, it was not the Heart Tower that was trembling, but the Mantra Banner, as if it had seen some delicious food.


    However, Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to move at all. Both of them were too powerful and not something he could resist at the moment.


    Thousand Poisonsughed while fighting, "Hey, Mu Hengyuan, everyone outside says you''re very powerful, but it seems that''s all. You can''t even beat me, an Evolutionary Immortal, haha!"


    Mu Hengyuan shouted, "Thousand Poisons, you dare to be an enemy of our Heart Sect, do you know what the consequences will be? After this matter is over, you won''t be able to escape."


    Thousand Poisons sneered, "Escape? I have never thought about escaping. When your Heart Sect is destroyed, even if you can escape, you will only be a homeless dog. Why should I escape? If you are still alive by then, it will be you who will be running, haha!"


    Mu Hengyuan was furious, "Thousand Poisons, the Heart Sect will not let you go!"


    Thousand Poisonsughed loudly, "I look down on your sect! Go to hell!"


    paw?ead ].


    Mu Hengyuan was anxious. He felt that his spirit sword was getting heavier and less flexible. He didn''t know what the purple lotus of the other party was. Every attack would make the spirit sword a little heavier.


    Suddenly, the bowl in Thousand Poisons'' hand grewrger and hung in front of him. He saw his fingers flicking in turn, making a nging sound.


    In an instant, eighteen purple-ck lotuses spewed out of the bowl mouth. These eighteen lotuses quickly arranged, and between the lotuses, green-ck threads floated, looking extremely strange.


    Mi Xiaojing looked from below and even felt a creepy feeling. He now understood that the Evolutionary Immortality of Thousand Poisons was wrong, and it was not the same as the Evolutionary Immortality he knew. At a nce, this Evolutionary Immortality was absolutely evil!


    The battle between the two was in the sky above the Gathering Spring Courtyard. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t walk or escape. He could only be on guard at all times. On the contrary, Wang Weijun was even more nervous. ording to his experience, Mi Xiaojing should have been discovered. It was just that the two of them didn''t care about him and let him continue to hide in the ruins.


    Eighteen purple-ck lotuses, under the point of Thousand Poisons'' hand, quickly entangled, and then his two hands flicked the bowl body again, and another eighteen purple-ck lotuses flew out.Mu Hengyuan was now in a situation where escape was impossible. His spiritual sword could only protect his body, and as it continuously shattered the lotus flowers, the sword became increasingly dim and lightless.


    Thousand Poisons sneered coldly, saying, "Let''s see how many of my precious lotuses you can shatter."


    "No matter how manye, I will shatter them all!"


    Wang Weijun said from atop the Heart Tower, "It''s over!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What''s over?"


    "Mu Hengyuan is finished."


    "Why?"


    "Thousand Poisons has actually used poison, his lotus flowers are poisonous."


    Mi Xiaojing looked at Mu Hengyuan''s spiritual sword. On the dim sword, it seemed as if arge cluster of ck threads were entwined, "So that''s the poison? The spiritual sword can''t even move or transform, what a powerful poison!"


    Mu Hengyuan had noticed it early on, but he was unable to break free.


    Escape was impossible, as the surroundings were filled with floating purple-ck lotus flowers, which were chilling to look at.


    Thousand Poisons grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "I''m tired of dealing with you, I still have a lot of things to do, so this is it, haha!" To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 207: Mantra Poison

    <h4>Chapter 207: Mantra Poison</h4>


    As Thousand Poisons spoke, he pped the bowl, and a purple-red lotus flew out. The moment the flower left the bowl, it expanded to the size of a water tank, spinning a few times in the air before hovering above Mu Hengyuan''s head.


    "Everyone calls me Thousand Poisons, and it''s not for nothing. Haha, let''s see how you like this!"


    Thousand Poisons uttered a single mantra: "Disperse!"


    Therge purple-red lotus shattered into powder, transforming into thin threads that hung down.


    Thousand Poisons nced at where Mi Xiaojing was hiding, his figure transformed into a green-ck shadow, shooting towards the direction of the sect''s main hall. He couldn''t be bothered to kill a junior.


    As the purple-red lotus shattered into countless threads, Mu Hengyuan''s facepletely changed. His spiritual sword could no longer block the threads. He swung his arm, releasing a series of Thunder Gang, trying to repel the poisonous threads with the sound of thunder.


    Thunder Gang was a technique that every Elemental Infant stage cultivator knew. It was not very powerful, but it was created by condensing and exploding true essence through certain means, relying on a wave of energy.


    Thousand Poisons had already left, but a cold snort still clearly echoed: "Take your time dying. You dare to fight me? You''re seeking death!"


    Mu Hengyuan was in a desperate situation. Thousand Poisons'' methods were too sinister, and his cultivation level was much higher. None of his techniques worked.


    The techniques of Evolutionary Immortality were really powerful at the high levels, especially the Mantra Poison used by Thousand Poisons, which was extremely insidious. This time, Mu Hengyuan got a taste of it.


    The purple-ck poisonous threads directly invaded the spiritual patterns of the spiritual sword, destroying their integrity. Mu Hengyuan had nurtured this spiritual sword in his Elemental Infant for a long time, but now he dared not retract it into his Dan Tian. That would be a suicidal act.


    Most importantly, the purple-red poisonous threads above his head were rapidly descending, forcing him to dodge. But he couldn''t. His surroundings were filled with floating purple-ck lotuses, and he was already at the point where he could hardly control his spiritual sword.


    Mu Hengyuan gradually lost his ability to fly, his body began to fall. His mind was in chaos, he had never seen such a sinister battle.


    His spiritual sword suddenly shed downwards. Mu Hengyuan was desperate, he had to clear the purple-ck lotus under his feet first, otherwise, he would crash into it.


    Even so, the floating purple-ck poisonous threads around him still contaminated Mu Hengyuan. His clothes, upon contact with the poisonous threads, immediately charred and shattered. The poisonous threads directly invaded his skin, leaving a twisted ck pattern.


    The purple-red poisonous threads above his head, as if they had locked onto Mu Hengyuan, followed him closely.


    A bizarre scene unfolded. Mu Hengyuan was falling, and not far above his head, the purple-red poisonous threads formed ribbons that followed him, falling towards the front yard of the Gathering Spring Courtyard.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at him, truly shocked.


    Wang Weijun repeatedly said, "Let''s go, you silly boy, what are you still looking at?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I can cure this poison!"


    Wang Weijun angrily said, "Cure what? Let him die!"


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated. He didn''t have any resentment towards the four Elemental Infant ancestors of the sect. After all, he was still a teenager, and his understanding of the world was still based on the simple logic of "if you''re good to me, I''ll be good to you".


    Especially since he had been educated in Evolutionary Immortality from a young age, he generally had the idea of being kind to others. If he was powerless, then there was nothing he could do. But if he had the ability and the means, he was unwilling to leave.


    "No, I... I want to save him!"


    "Why do you want to save him? Have you ever thought that he might be the one who ordered the destruction of your Western Evolutionary Sect?"


    "I... But he is my junior sister''s elder, I..."


    .


    Ignoring Wang Weijun''s words, Mi Xiaojing saw Mu Hengyuan fall to the ground in the front yard. With a loud crash, the ground was smashed open, and before he could escape, countless purple-red poisonous threads from the sky shot towards him.


    The purple-red poisonous threads, more powerful than the purple-ck ones,nded on Mu Hengyuan, making a sizzling sound.


    Mu Hengyuan immediately let out a series of screams. This kind of poisonous thread that stripped cultivators of their power was truly terrifying.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to approach, but hid behind a broken wall to observe carefully. He indeed had a way to detoxify, using mantras to detoxify, but he didn''t know how effective it would be because he had never tested it before.


    Wang Weijun no longer tried to persuade Mi Xiaojing. He couldn''t understand why Mi Xiaojing wanted to save people. In the Cultivation World, such a thing was almost impossible.


    Unless the two parties were father and son, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, or truly close friends, everyone else was ignored. In a crisis, one''s own safety always came first.


    Mi Xiaojing was very cautious. He didn''t foolishly run out to save people, but observed from a distance.


    Wang Weijun didn''t understand Evolutionary Immortality. In his view, this method of using poison was chilling and extremely strange. However, in Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, it wasn''t so mysterious. After all, he was too familiar with the mantras of Evolutionary Immortality. After being influenced by the Mantra Banner, Mi Xiaojing naturally understood many things about Evolutionary Immortality.


    He had noticed the poisonous threads on Mu Hengyuan''s body earlier. They were abination of mantras and poison, with some techniques of Condensing Elixir. If he didn''t understand any of these, it would be baffling. But luckily, Mi Xiaojing understood all of them.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t find these poisonous threads very miraculous, so he dared to say that he had a way to detoxify them.


    Mu Hengyuan was no longer recognizable. His clothes had all turned into powder, revealingrge areas of skin. The twisted purple-red and purple-ck poisonous threads were deeply engraved into his skin.


    In such a short time, Mu Hengyuan''s skin had ulcerated, swollen, and turned ck. Even his physical body began to copse. The poisonous threads had invaded his body and were extending towards his Elemental Infant.


    Once the Elemental Infant was also contaminated with the poisonous threads, Mu Hengyuan would be beyond saving.


    He had tried several methods to expel the poisonous threads, but none of them worked. Mu Hengyuan felt a sense of despair. Was this the end? No! No... He couldn''t ept it!A sense of despair to the extreme was revealed in his eyes, Mu Hengyuan was extremely anxious in his heart, he said, "Come out!"


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, he knew Mu Hengyuan was calling him, after thinking about it, he still came out.


    "Senior."


    "It''s you!"


    Mu Hengyuan didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing would be hiding here, but after thinking about it, he understood. This was where he lived, where could a child run to after escaping from the sect''s main hall? Naturally, he would go home.


    "Are...are you okay?"


    Mu Hengyuan shook his head and said, "I''m done for, I need your help..."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, he said, "I...help with what?"


    "Help me with the Martial Arts Exnation! And take care of Xiaoyin in the future!"


    Feeling like I''ve been updating non-stop these past few days, my body...no, my brain feels like it''s about to be hollowed out...Can I take a break, and then burst out again? Hmm, I''ll try to recover and then, update more. Yes, that''s it!


    Thanks to readers like ''Smile Again'' for their rewards and support! Also, wishing everyone a happy National Day! (.)

 Chapter 208: Neutralize the poison

    <h4>Chapter 208: Neutralize the poison</h4>


    Cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage are already qualified for Martial Arts Exnation.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Senior, why do you need to perform Martial Arts Exnation?"


    Mu Hengyuan became anxious, "You child, just help when asked to help, stop talking so much, hurry up!"


    Wang Weijunughed heartily atop the Heart Tower, "This fool, haha! Hahaha!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "But, after the Martial Arts Exnation, won''t you be finished?"


    Mu Hengyuan shouted in anger, "That''s just the physical body being finished, I''m not finished, I still have my Elemental Infant, I can still cultivate!"


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head, "But I heard that without the physical body, the foundation of cultivation is lost!"


    Mu Hengyuan had never found Mi Xiaojing as annoying as he was today, he said, "Just do as I say."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "But I have a way to neutralize the poison in your body, do you still want to perform Martial Arts Exnation, senior?"


    Huh?


    "What? What did you just say? You can neutralize this poison? Kid, you''re not lying, are you? How is this possible?"


    Happiness came too quickly, Mu Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood. Mi Xiaojing had been hiding here without leaving, just to neutralize the poison in his body.


    This thought shocked even him.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Sit cross-legged, I''m sorry, I can''te over, there are still residual Poisonous Threads."


    Mu Hengyuan, who had been struggling to move, was reignited with hope by Mi Xiaojing''s words. He struggled to sit cross-legged and said, "Come on!"


    Mi Xiaojing also sat down not far away, holding a string of Prayer Beads in his hand, which was a projection of the Prayer Beads in his Dan Tian.


    A Prayer Bead suddenly appeared above Mu Hengyuan''s head, as big as a fist, followed by another, one after another, appearing out of thin air.


    Mi Xiaojing began to chant the Mantra.


    The string of beads above Mu Hengyuan''s head began to spin automatically, and then, a surprising scene urred.


    Clusters of dark purple lotus flowers, as well as purplish-red lotus flowers, all emerged from Mu Hengyuan''s body, gradually being absorbed by the Prayer Beads.


    The floating Poisonous Threads around them also gradually began to shatter, recondensing into clusters of lotus flowers, only the size of a fingernail, also being absorbed by the Prayer Beads.


    In a short while, all the Mantra Poison Flowers were absorbed onto the Prayer Beads.


    With a thought from Mi Xiaojing, the Prayer Beads hanging above Mu Hengyuan''s head disappeared and reappeared in his Dan Tian. In an instant, the Heart Tower shook, and arge number of golden chains flew out from the Mantra Banner, directly entering the Prayer Beads. The real detoxifier was not the Prayer Beads, but this Mantra Banner!


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Open your mouth!"


    Mu Hengyuan opened his mouth, and Mi Xiaojing flicked his finger, a Nurturing Infant Pill shot out, directly falling into Mu Hengyuan''s mouth.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Rest for a while and you''ll be fine," and then he flew away.


    Mu Hengyuan wanted to shout for him not to leave, that it was too dangerous, but he still had the Nurturing Infant Pill in his mouth. By the time he could speak, Mi Xiaojing had already disappeared. You see, Mi Xiaojing flew out of the Gathering Spring Courtyard and teleported away.


    Once the Mantra Poison was removed, the injuries on his body were no longer a problem. Plus, Mi Xiaojing had given him a Nurturing Infant Pill. In less than a few minutes, Mu Hengyuan had recovered. His spirit sword waspletely destroyed, and his Elemental Infant would have been severely damaged, but the Nurturing Infant Pill allowed his Elemental Infant to recover as before.


    At this moment, Mu Hengyuan''s feelings were extremelyplicated. This favor was too great, it was equivalent to saving his life. Not only that, but it also saved his cultivation fate, allowing him to continue cultivating. If his physical body was destroyed, his future path would be very difficult.


    After a long sigh, Mu Hengyuanughed, looking in the direction where Mi Xiaojing had left, he had only one thought in his mind. If the sect was not destroyed, and Mi Xiaojing was in the sect, even if hemitted murder and arson, he would protect Mi Xiaojing.


    In fact, he was not sure whether he could protect the sect.


    Looking at his destroyed spirit sword, Mu Hengyuan knew that it would be difficult to restore this sword. However, he still collected the broken spirit sword and took out a spare spirit sword. As the elder of the sect, he had two spare spirit swords.


    Flying back towards the main hall of the sect, Mu Hengyuan knew that was the key to the struggle.


    Just as he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Mu Hengyuan saw two red shadows fighting, Thousand Poisons against Brahman Sa, both dressed in red.


    Thousand Poisons'' red robe was blessed with Mantra. This time he didn''t use his bowl, but fought with his own weapon. He saw Mu Hengyuan at a nce and couldn''t help but exim, "Oh my, you''re actually not dead?"


    Just this sentence made Mu Hengyuan so angry that he swung his sword at him.


    At this moment, another sword shadow suddenly flew up from halfway up the mountain, aiming at Thousand Poisons. In an instant, three Elemental Infant stage masters attacked Thousand Poisons at the same time.The figure let out a strange cry, his body suddenly turned into countless smoke and dust, disappearing instantly, leaving the three of them grasping at thin air.


    Thousand Poisons was not here to fight to the death. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately fled.


    Brahman Sa''s face was ashen. She said, "This guy is very strong!"


    After Yin Jin''s attack missed, he also flew up and said, "His methods are very strange, and his strength is extremely strong. I am not his match!"


    Mu Hengyuan watched as Thousand Poisons disappeared, his face showing a shocked expression. This person was already extraordinarily powerful. Under the siege of three Elemental Infant stage experts, he could still advance and retreat with ease. Just this point alone, the fact that he almost killed him, was not a coincidence. This person absolutely could not be faced alone!


    The three of them did not stay for long. They simply exchanged a few words before turning to rush towards another battlefield.


    After leaving Mu Hengyuan, Mi Xiaojing immediately fled. Just as he teleported out, he heard a howling sound and saw a sword shadow shing towards him. The ce was in chaos, with flying figures and sword shadows everywhere, as well as various sounds of cursing, collisions, and screams.


    Without any hesitation, he teleported again. He didn''t know how many powerful experts were here, and Mi Xiaojing had no intention of getting involved.


    Mi Xiaojing''s control over the escape talisman had not yet reached the point of being able to use it freely. After several teleports, he needed to wait a little while. In addition, the range of the cultivators'' battles was very wide, and Mi Xiaojing could not teleport long distances. This time, he had no choice but to dodge left and right.


    Unknowingly, Mi Xiaojing had moved to the foot of Qingmu Peak. A group of rogue cultivators had gathered here, besieging Qingmu Peak.


    As soon as Mi Xiaojing teleported out, he was discovered. Someone shouted, "Look! It''s a guy from the Heart Sect!"


    In an instant, several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and a group of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators rushed towards Mi Xiaojing.


    Mi Xiaojing was greatly rmed and immediately wanted to teleport away, but this time he was unable to teleport. He wanted to fly away on his sword, but there were cultivators everywhere, all closing in on him.


    He couldn''t escape! To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 209: Aoki Formation Shows Power

    <h4>Chapter 209: Aoki Formation Shows Power</h4>


    The thunderous sword flew out, causing a loud noise. Mi Xiaojing immediately felt an immense strain.


    Then he saw a terrifying scene. Countless attacks rained down on him like a storm. These were attacks that could pulverize Mi Xiaojing. Finally, Mi Xiaojing activated a teleportation, but he only managed to move less than a hundred meters from his original position.


    At the ce where Mi Xiaojing disappeared, various weapons bombarded down, and instantly, arge pit appeared on the ground.


    Mi Xiaojing''s hair stood on end, and he was also furious. Without uttering a word, theyunched a collective attack. These people were too despicable, utterly shameless.


    Wang Weijun said one sentence: "Take them down! Kill them!"


    "But they are too many..."


    "Use the Qingmu Formation, you idiot!"


    A timely reminder woke Mi Xiaojing up. There were no Elemental Infant stage masters here, only some Foundation Establishment and rogue cultivators. The best way to deal with a group fight was to use a formation.


    With Mi Xiaojing''s current cultivation level, he couldn''t beat so many cultivators. But using the Qingmu Formation was a different story. This was a verified formation, and Mi Xiaojing had great confidence in it.


    Earlier, Mi Xiaojing was only thinking about escaping and didn''t think about counterattacking. Wang Weijun, with his richbat experience, reminded him just in time.


    These rogue cultivators were like wolves and tigers,unching attacks in groups. Once they seeded, they would loot everything from the bodies. For rogue cultivators, sect cultivators were like fat sheep. Killing them would definitely yield good things. Whether they were Foundation Establishment or Elemental Infant stage cultivators, they were richer than rogue cultivators whocked weapons, spirit pills, spirit stones, and cultivation methods.


    Normally, rogue cultivators wouldn''t dare to provoke sect cultivators. But now it was different. This sect war was a feast for them. They came to fish in troubled waters.


    Whether they obtained a few treasures or some spirit stones and spirit pills, it would greatly benefit their cultivation.


    Of course, the risks were also great. The rogue cultivators who came here all had some strength.


    ].


    So when they saw Mi Xiaojing, a lone sect cultivator, they were so excited. Without anymand, they rushed up directly, intending to kill him first.


    Mi Xiaojing threw out seven Qingmu, cast the magical technique, and instantly, the Qingmu Formation spread out.


    Arge area ofnd at the foot of the mountain was enveloped in the formation. The open terrain here was very conducive to the deployment of the Qingmu Formation. Of course, the consumption of spirit stones was also considerable. But at this point, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t care less. Consuming spirit stones was better than losing his life.


    Once the Qingmu Formation was activated, it spread very quickly in the open area. The Foundation Establishment cultivators didn''t have time to dodge and were instantly enveloped within a thousand meters radius.


    For a moment, all the cultivators trapped inside lost their attack targets. The surrounding environment changed drastically. Many experienced cultivators immediately understood that they had fallen into a formation.


    The smarter ones immediately stopped moving and began to look for ways to break the formation or escape. Cultivators knew very well how terrifying it was to fall into a formation.


    Those who were slow to react orcked experience, even if the environment changed, were still attacking crazily. This triggered the counterattack of the Qingmu Formation.


    Inside the Qingmu Formation, there was a lot of crying and shouting. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators were beaten up by the Qingmu Formation,pletely suppressed. Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators found it very difficult to cope.


    Those lucky cultivators who were not involved in the formation, if their attacks touched the formation, would still be forcibly dragged into the Qingmu Formation. A few smart cultivators immediately cut off the connection with their weapons to avoid being dragged into the formation. However, their weapons would fall into the formation.


    The group of rogue cultivators was frightened. A formation set up by a Foundation Establishment cultivator made it impossible for more than a dozen of them to cope. Could it be that the cultivators of the Heart Sect were so rich? This was too terrifying.


    The trapped cultivators were terrified, but Mi Xiaojing was not feeling any better. He watched as the Qingmu Formation consumed arge amount of spirit stones, which was quite painful.


    Wang Weijun shouted: "Quick battle, quick decision!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately cast the magical technique continuously, and at the same time, he chanted the incantation. The entire Qingmu Formation started to operate crazily. Immediately, the cultivators in the formation couldn''t stand it. Even the Foundation Establishment masters couldn''t withstand it.


    Various flying swords and magical treasures were crushed one by one by the Qingmu Formation. Many of the lower-level Foundation Establishment cultivators were already seriously injured and fell to the ground.The characteristic of a Formation is that the stronger you counterattack, the stronger the Formation''s attack on you bes. When you lose the ability to resist, the Formation will instead shift its attack elsewhere.


    Unless Mi Xiaojing specifically targets someone, the Formation will focus its attack on that person. But now, Mi Xiaojing''s target is everyone, so the Formation naturally follows its own attack pattern.


    Mi Xiaojing could clearly see the changes within the Qingmu Formation, and he knew exactly how many Spirit Stones he had consumed. He agreed with Wang Weijun''s words that they must fight quickly and decisively. He couldn''t bear to continue this consumption.


    The Rogue Cultivator attacking Qingmu Peak, whose cultivation level was at most at thete Foundation Establishment stage, was also trapped in the Formation. His resistance was the most fierce, and the Formation''s attack gradually concentrated on him.


    This man had a treasure on him, a magical armor of artifact level. This armor floated on the surface of his body, semi-transparent, with a thinyer of me blocking the attack of the Qingmu Formation.


    He also had a weapon in his hand, three rings linked together. When thrown out, three whirlpools would appear, directly annihting the attack of the Qingmu Formation. So far, he was the only one still fighting fiercely, but it was clear that he was struggling, his consumption was also enormous.


    Relying on these two treasures, one for attack and one for defense, this man''s strength was much stronger than the others.


    As the other Cultivators were heavily injured, the attack of the Qingmu Formation concentrated on the man who was still resisting. The man felt the pressure increasing, his True Essence consumption was huge, and each time he released the three whirlpools, his face would turn a shade paler.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was also reaching his limit. Fighting so many Cultivators at once, this kind of consumption, waspletely different from dealing with a single Cultivator.


    But Mi Xiaojing also knew that only by defeating this resisting Cultivator could he withdraw the Qingmu Formation. Otherwise, facing the attack of ate Foundation Establishment expert, Mi Xiaojing admitted that he couldn''t resist.


    ording to Wang Weijun''s idea, even if they didn''t kill the opponent, they had to make him temporarily lose hisbat power.


    The Qingmu Formation turned, and countless giant Qingmu trees appeared. The man''s facepletely changed. What he feared most was a hard fight, a head-on confrontation, which was very disadvantageous for him. He preferred a fight with tactics.


    But when the Qingmu trees appeared, the man knew that the opponent didn''t want to drag on any longer and wanted to crush him directly with the power of the Qingmu Formation!

 Chapter 210: Reunion with Tian Cang

    <h4>Chapter 210: Reunion with Tian Cang</h4>


    Indeed, the massive greenwood came crashing down, no matter how he dodged and evaded, he couldn''t avoid the attack. The number of greenwoods was almost infinite,yer uponyer, pressing down like a tide.


    Boom! Boom! Boom...


    The continuous impact, the immense force, made him feel like vomiting blood. He had already seen tiny cracks appearing on the three rings, which was his best weapon. If it was damaged here, how could he bear it?


    Mi Xiaojing felt even more pain in his heart. Each strike consumed spirit stones, and the consumption from such intense collisions turned his face pale.


    Both of them were a bit frustrated. Mi Xiaojing suddenly flicked his finger, and a purple-red lotus shot out.


    Wang Weijun''s eyes nearly popped out. This was the technique of Thousand Poisons, when did Mi Xiaojing learn it? Was it because he saved someone? Then he realized, this was the effect of the Mantra Banner!


    In fact, it wasn''t that Mi Xiaojing had learned it, but when he was detoxifying Mu Hengyuan, the Mantra Banner absorbed the secrets. In his urgency, Mi Xiaojing naturally used it, truly miraculous to the extreme.


    When this purple-red lotus was shot out, Mi Xiaojing immediately felt exhausted, but he was very excited. He knew the power of Thousand Poisons, which could defeat Mu Hengyuan without any resistance. He had never thought that he could use the technique of Thousand Poisons.


    However, he also knew that with his cultivation level, he seemed to be able to use it only once.


    The purple-red lotus, particrly dazzling in the greenwood formation, floated over. Mi Xiaojing slowed down the attack of the greenwood formation, saving as much as he could. If he continued like this, he would really go bankrupt.


    The man also breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that the attack of the formation had be sparse, and he finally managed to resist it. Then he saw a purple-red lotus, appearing abruptly in front of him.


    His intuition told him something was wrong. This man''sbat experience was extremely rich. As soon as he saw the purple-red lotus, he had a creepy feeling. If it weren''t for the obstruction of the greenwood formation, with his experience, he would have dodged it at the first moment.


    But now he had nowhere to escape, he could only face it. This feeling was too suffocating, making him feel like vomiting blood.


    This man didn''t hesitate to use his virtual armor to resist a strike from the greenwood. The three rings formed three whirlpools again, flying directly towards the purple-red lotus.


    The three whirlpools instantly shredded the purple-red lotus, but it was useless after shredding it. Countless poisonous threads scattered and gathered towards this man.


    The poisonous threads were like nematodes wandering in the water, as if they were alive, flying towards the man, scaring him into using his flying sword, trying to shred these strange red threads. His three-ring magic weapon, after emitting the whirlpool just now, was already unusable and needed to be refined again.


    When his flying sword touched the poisonous thread, in an instant, this top-level magic weapon shattered. This poisonous thread could even destroy the spirit sword, what was a magic weapon? It was destroyed upon contact, scaring the man into a cold sweat. This thing was abnormal, super abnormal!


    He wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape. He was truly desperate. The surrounding greenwood was rolling, he was suppressed, the three-ring magic weapon couldn''t be used, the flying sword was destroyed, he didn''t even have a weapon in his hand. Relying on the virtual armor to resist a few attacks, he finally vomited blood.


    However, after the purple-red lotus shattered, there were not many poisonous threads left. The remaining dozens of poisonous threads wrapped around him, and he could only watch with his eyes wide open, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his virtual armor could resist it.


    The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just two poisonous threadspletely destroyed the virtual armor. This was a magic weapon, higher than a magic tool, but it still couldn''t stop the poisonous thread.


    Then the other poisonous threads wrapped around him. Without any obstruction, they directly touched his skin. The feeling of being cut by a knife and burned by fire swept over his body. In an instant, the man fell down.


    Victory!


    Mi Xiaojing hastily cast a magical technique to first put away the greenwood formation. If he continued to consume, he would vomit blood too.


    The greenwood formation disappeared, leaving a scene of devastation.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to stay, he flew directly towards Greenwood Peak.


    Among the cultivators present, no one dared to chase. They were also scared. This guy was too abnormal, he actually defeated more than a dozen Foundation Establishment and Cultivation cultivators with a single formation!


    Many of them suppressed their injuries and fled in a stumbling manner. They didn''t dare to stay here anymore.


    These people didn''t know what Mi Xiaojing''s name was, but they had great respect for him. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could be so powerful.


    The defensive formation of Greenwood Peak was useless to Mi Xiaojing. He had the jade card to enter and exit, and he rushed directly to his original courtyard, which was originally Tian Cang''s residence.


    There was no one in the small courtyard. Mi Xiaojingnded in the yard and began to check his consumption.


    Just one battle had consumed more than 6,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Mi Xiaojing was heartbroken. He was used to being poor, and suddenly spending so many spirit stones made him a little overwhelmed.However, the gains from this battle were also immense. Firstly, his proficiency in operating the Formation had improved significantly. Secondly, he had managed to unleash a purple-red lotus, an attack method of immense power and peculiar style, posing a threat even to Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    ording to Wang Weijun, only in battle could one''s potential be truly stimted.


    Mi Xiaojing was very clear-headed. He knew that his strength was still insufficient. It was only with the power of the Formation that he had managed to escape into Qingmu Peak without any danger. Even though he had defeated so many Cultivators, he did not think that his victory was a matter of course.


    Wang Weijun also noticed that Mi Xiaojing did not be overconfident because of his victory. He was very satisfied with this kind of mentality. In the Cultivation World, many people would be overconfident after a few victories, which often marked the beginning of their downfall.


    The Cultivation World was veryplex, and one could never be too careful. If he had been more cautious back then, he wouldn''t have been yed to death.


    After checking everything, Mi Xiaojing immediately sat down to cultivate, replenishing the consumed Starry Sky power. Although the consumed Starry Sky power was not much, at this time, every bit of reserve was necessary.


    At this moment, a figure sneaked into the courtyard. He saw Mi Xiaojing at a nce and couldn''t help but be stunned, blurting out, "Why are you here? Aren''t you in the sect''s main hall?"


    Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Tian Cang... You moved back?"


    Tian Cang said, "Some time ago, I got the courtyard back..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Aren''t you going to defend?"


    Tian Cang sighed deeply and said, "I can''t hold it anymore. The defense Formation of the main peak has been broken, and many people in the sect have lost their confidence... I came back to prepare. Once the defense of Qingmu Peak is broken, I n to escape."

 Chapter 211: Spirit plant garden

    <h4>Chapter 211: Spirit nt garden</h4>


    This is the scattering of monkeys when the tree falls.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What''s the casualty situation?"


    Tian Cang replied, "Many are injured, fortunately, this is where the Grass-Benevolence Hall is located, and we have stored a lot of Spirit Pills. However, a few people still died."


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled and asked, "We didn''t even use the defensive formation, how could there be casualties?"


    Tian Cang exined, "A few disciples with ess tokens tried to sneak away, but as soon as they left the defensive formation, they were discovered by people outside and were killed on the spot."


    Mi Xiaojing gave a bitter smile, "At this time, even if a Foundation Establishment expert goes out, if they are discovered without any special means, I''m afraid it''s more bad than good."


    Tian Cang said, "By the way, you haven''t said, how did youe back?" He was a bit puzzled. In such a chaotic situation, how could he run back from the main peak to Qingmu Peak? Was there a secret passage he didn''t know about?


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "I almost got killed, luckily I ran fast."


    Tian Cang admired him in his heart. The distance from the main peak to Qingmu Peak was not short. If he flew all the way, he would be a live target. He really didn''t know how Mi Xiaojing managed to do it.


    What he didn''t know was that Mi Xiaojing could teleport, but he was not proficient in using it, which led to him being blocked under Qingmu Peak. He consumed a lot of Spirit Stones before he finally managed to escape in.


    Mi Xiaojing asked again, "Who is in charge of the Grass-Benevolence Hall now?"


    Tian Cang replied, "It''s Chen Shouyi, Elder Chen is in charge of the defense."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head secretly. He and Chen Shouyi had reached the point of life and death. He said, "Don''t tell him about my return."


    Tian Cang chuckled, "Why would I tell him? Besides, I don''t n to go back either. The Grass-Benevolence Hall is inplete chaos now. It''s just a pity for those precious spirit nts."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "There''s nothing good, just a few cultivation gardens."


    Tian Cang said in surprise, "Don''t you know? At the back of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, there is a small canyon. Although the area is notrge, it has the best spirit nt garden in the sect. It is full of rare spirit herbs and nts transnted from the wild."


    Mi Xiaojing immediately realized the value of these spirit herbs and nts. He asked, "You tell me this... what are you nning?"


    Tian Cangughed, "Actually, it''s nothing. You know, these things are useless to me, but you are a Pill Master. Once Qingmu Peak is broken, these things will definitely not be preserved. It''s better to..."


    Wang Weijun shouted from the Heart Tower, "Go, go! Such a good opportunity, why not go? Some spirit herbs and nts, you may not encounter a second time in your life. A Pill Master needs umtion!"


    Mi Xiaojing was also tempted.


    Tian Cang saw it and continued, "Look, I''m not very interested in these spirit herbs and nts. If you can give me some Clear Tranquility Pills or something, I''ll take you there and try to get you in... How about it?"


    Tian Cang looked at Mi Xiaojing nervously. He knew that Mi Xiaojing had a lot of good things in his pocket. What made him drool the most was various Spirit Pills. Even if a little bit of Spirit Pill leaked from his fingers, it would be enough to save his life.


    If he could get some Spirit Pills for cultivation, that would be a big win!


    Mi Xiaojing had no sense of belonging to the Heart Sect, nor did he have the heart to fight to the death for the sect. Whether the sect won or was destroyed, he didn''t care. However, he was willing to fish in troubled waters. As Wang Weijun said, these things were going to be cheap for others anyway, so he might as well take them himself.


    It has to be said that Mi Xiaojing, this pure child, has been gradually corrupted by Wang Weijun. Of course, Mi Xiaojing also has his own bottom line in life, and he will absolutely not do anything that crosses that line.


    For example, saving Mu Hengyuan. If it were Wang Weijun, even if he didn''t stab him when he was dying, he would definitely not lend a helping hand. Waiting for Mu Hengyuan to exin his martial arts, and then forcibly taking the Elemental Infant would be the right choice. Along with everything Mu Hengyuan carried, they could all be taken away.


    Wang Weijun was still dissatisfied with Mi Xiaojing in this respect, because Mi Xiaojing''s nature was still kind.


    But he also understood Mi Xiaojing''s character. Wang Weijun knew that it was useless to say anything. In order not to make Mi Xiaojing disgusted, he wisely did not object and let Mi Xiaojing save people.


    Tian Cang asked, "So, are you going or not?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Let''s go!"


    Tian Cang was overjoyed and said, "Good, it''s settled! Let''s go!"


    The two of them didn''t fly, but honestly took the small path through the forest to avoid attracting attention.


    After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the back of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. The forest here was dense, with a stream flowing and a waterfall. They walked along the cliff and soon arrived at a pile of rubble.


    "It''s right behind this!"


    Tian Cang pointed to the pile of rubble.


    Mi Xiaojing knew this was an illusion and there should be a special Magical Technique to enter. He asked, "How do we get in?"Tian Cang chuckled, saying, "Combining two magical techniques with one incantation will allow us to enter." He taught Mi Xiaojing the magical techniques and incantation, which were extremely simple methods. Whenbined, they became the key to entering and exiting. The illusionary restriction had no real power; it was merely to prevent outsiders from finding the entrance.


    Qingmu Peak was vast. Even if someone found this ce, they might not suspect that anything could be behind a pile of rocks. This was a method of concealment to avoid intrusion from outsiders.


    Tian Cang quickly performed the magical techniques and recited the incantation. Instantly, the pile of rocks split apart, revealing a winding path. Tian Cang said, "Quick, follow me in!"


    Mi Xiaojing followed closely behind Tian Cang, walking along the path. The path was quite long, and it took them a full five minutes to see the cliff walls on both sides getting higher, indicating that they had entered a canyon.


    The canyon was unique, with high but narrow sides, no more than thirty to forty meters wide. The top of the canyon was covered by arge number of trees, and with the use of the formation, it was impossible to see the canyon from the outside.


    The canyon was not long, about six to seven hundred meters. The bottom was closed off, resembling a ttened gourd, with only one entrance and exit. If discovered, anyone trapped inside would not be able to get out.


    Upon entering, they smelled a strange fragrance. It was a Heavenly Fragrance Grass, a very rare spiritual herb. Then they saw a White Source, a Ground Dragon Vine. Mi Xiaojing felt dazzled, as every few steps there would be a rare spiritual herb.


    Tian Cang didn''t understand, he asked, "How is it?"


    Mi Xiaojing''s eyes lit up, he said, "Guard the entrance for me. If anyonees, notify me immediately."


    Tian Cang made a reassuring gesture and immediately returned to the entrance, quietly squatting on one side.


    Mi Xiaojing began to harvest wildly. Some mature ones were directly put into the box and sealed with a restriction to prevent the medicinal effect from dissipating.


    For those that were not mature, Mi Xiaojing used a transntation technique to temporarily store them. When he found a suitable ce in the future, he would rent them.

 Chapter 212: Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus

    <h4>Chapter 212: Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus</h4>


    This method of transntation, also from Wang Weijun, is amon technique used by cultivators when they discover spiritual herbs and nts in the wild.


    This technique can put the spiritual nts into a dormant state, ensuring that they will not die for several years. However, it requires the consumption of a low-grade spirit stone every once in a while.


    Picking and transnting along the way, Mi Xiaojing swept through like a locust, not sparing any spiritual herbs or nts he saw, regardless of their quality or rarity. As someone who was used to being poor, everything was a treasure to him!


    Fortunately, the storage bracelet Mi Xiaojing wore had arge enough space to hold many items. If he had been using a storage bag, he would have needed several to amodate everything.


    After about half a day, Mi Xiaojing finally reached the bottom of the canyon.


    There was a spiritual spring and a small pond. In the pond, a bright red lotus was very conspicuous. Its two leaves were very special, covered with golden lines, and the roots of the leaves were also strange, with a ck stem.


    The bright red lotus looked like a burning me.


    Mi Xiaojing''s heart pounded. He recognized this object. For those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality, this was a treasure, and even a rare treasure!


    The Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus, also known as the Business Fire Golden Lotus, was a very famous fire lotus in the records of Evolutionary Immortality.


    Even Wang Weijun couldn''t understand this fire lotus. He only knew that it was an ingredient for alchemy. Apart from being rare, he couldn''t say what its purpose was.


    For cultivators, the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus was nothing extraordinary. There were alternative materials that could be found for alchemy. But for those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality, this was a rare treasure, even a supreme treasure.


    Mi Xiaojing''s hands were trembling. His knowledge about the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus came from the Mantra Banner.


    Mi Xiaojing also discovered that this Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus was not transnted by the sect. It seemed to have grown here naturally. Its quality was so good that he was surprised, which was why he was so excited.


    In the eyes of those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality, the quality of the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus varied. This thing grew extremely slowly, with a thousand years being one cycle, considered as one turn of the fire lotus, which was white in color.


    The second turn also required a thousand years, with the color turning pink. The third turn was bright red, and the fourth turn, which was four thousand years old, was the bright red color in front of him. If it was a fifth turn fire lotus, it would turn golden red.


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t believe his luck.


    A fourth turn fire lotus, and a mature one at that, had to be picked within ten years, otherwise it would fall off. The next thousand years would then nurture a fifth turn fire lotus.


    That is to say, a Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus, from the first turn to the ninth turn, would take nine thousand years. After that, the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus would truly wither and die. At that time, a lotus pod would appear. This lotus pod was also a supreme treasure in Evolutionary Immortality. It could be used to make prayer beads, known as Fire Lotus Bead String.


    Whether to transnt it or leave it in ce, Mi Xiaojing didn''t hesitate and immediately began to pick it using the method of Evolutionary Immortality.


    Sitting cross-legged by the pond, Mi Xiaojing began to chant the mantra. As soon as he chanted a few sentences, the Mantra Banner began to stir.


    The Mantra Banner could automatically recognize good things. Mi Xiaojing had known this for a long time, and this time was no exception. As soon as the mantra was chanted, the Mantra Banner began to move.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that he had the Mantra Banner inside him. He always thought it was the effect of the Heart Tower.


    Countless golden chains formed by mantras once again extended from Mi Xiaojing''s hands, directly wrapping around the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus, and spread out instantly.


    As soon as the Mantra Banner moved, Wang Weijun couldn''t sit still. He was really scared. The Mantra Banner was so abnormal that every time it made a big move, it made him want to die. A few times it was even worse than death, leaving him with a strong psychological shadow.


    This time was no different. Wang Weijun popped a head out of the Heart Tower, and through Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, he saw the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus. He was very curious, how could this thing rm the Mantra Banner?


    .


    The mantra chains wrapped around the fire lotus, and then forcibly uprooted it, suspending it above the pond.


    Theplete Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus, with four sections like white jade lotus roots, Mi Xiaojing knew at a nce that this was indeed a fourth turn fire lotus. If there were five sections of lotus roots, it would be a fifth turn fire lotus. Each section of the lotus root corresponded to a thousand years.


    Wang Weijun was trembling all over. The Mantra Banner was slightly trembling. He felt like he was sitting on a vibrating machine. Mi Xiaojing also sank his divine sense into his Dan Tian, and at a nce, he saw Wang Weijun trembling. He asked curiously, "What''s wrong with you?"


    "Nothing, nothing, just moving around, been holding it in for too long."


    Mi Xiaojing was multitasking, his divine sense watching the Dan Tian, while his eyes were fixed on the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus.


    The Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus was notrge in size, but under the wrap of the mantra chains, it shrank more and more until it suddenly disappeared. Mi Xiaojing was slightly taken aback, then he saw the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus appear on the Heart Tower.


    Uh


    Mi Xiaojing was also dumbfounded. How did it get into the Dan Tian again? This Heart Tower really wants everything?


    Immediately after, the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus disappeared again, this time directly dragged into the Mantra Banner by the mantra chains, even Mi Xiaojing couldn''t see it.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Huh? Where did the fire lotus go?"


    Wang Weijun had long understood that Mi Xiaojing didn''t know about the existence of the Mantra Banner inside him. Of course, he wouldn''t remind him. The automatic operation of the Mantra Banner was already unbearable for him. If Mi Xiaojing controlled it himself, how could he take over?


    Wang Weijun didn''t want Mi Xiaojing to control the Mantra Banner. He believed that once Mi Xiaojing mastered the Mantra Banner, his life would not be his own. ording to the habit of cultivators, one''s life must be in one''s own hands, and absolutely no handle should be left to others.


    But Wang Weijun never considered one thing. That is, if Mi Xiaojing controlled the Mantra Banner, he might let him out. With his current efforts to win over and help Mi Xiaojing, Mi Xiaojing had actually let down most of his guard against him and was gradually getting closer to him.Given Mi Xiaojing''s character, when he trusts someone, he would wholeheartedly help them. However, Wang Weijun would never do such a thing, he wouldn''t even consider it. To him, it was an absolute impossibility.


    In the eyes of those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality, the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus was neither for Alchemy nor for consumption. It was a weapon, a powerful special weapon formed after being blessed by true words. Even high-level Evolutionary Immortals coveted it.


    With Mi Xiaojing''s current level of Evolutionary Immortality, he waspletely incapable of handling the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus. He only wanted to temporarily seal the fire lotus, either for future transntation or for selling it off. He had never considered that it might disappear.


    Wang Weijun said, "It didn''t disappear, it''s still there, in the Heart Tower." To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation. 161005090346

 Chapter 213: Meeting at a narrow road

    <h4>Chapter 213: Meeting at a narrow road</h4>


    Before Mi Xiaojing could speak, a Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus suddenly sprouted from the heart tower, appearing beneath the puppet substitute for the dead. It expanded in an instant.


    Soon, the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus filled the top of the heart tower.


    Then Mi Xiaojing realized that this was not the real body of the fire lotus, but wasposed of mantras. It looked exactly like the fire lotus. Because the mantra was golden, it became a golden lotus, but it still exuded a touch of bright red.


    Mi Xiaojing was unclear about the function of this suddenly appearing Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus. He could only watch and wait for a chance to slowly ponder and experiment in the future.


    As for the real Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus, Mi Xiaojing was even more clueless. ording to Wang Weijun, the fire lotus was on the heart tower, which was actually in the Mantra Banner.


    Wang Weijun was shocked as he watched the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus. This thing actually grew inside the Mantra Banner. Even he couldn''t see the four-section lotus root, which disappeared directly into the illusory ground of the Mantra Banner. Only two lotus leaves and a lotus flower were exposed, and the falling mantra characters were like raindrops hitting the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus.


    It was simply amazing that it could be produced inside the Mantra Banner. Could this also be a kind of transntation?


    Wang Weijun tried to think and recall everything about the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus. Unfortunately, he was really unfamiliar with Evolutionary Immortality. He understood themon knowledge, but when it came to slightly deeper content, he waspletely clueless.


    Wang Weijun intuitively felt that the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus was constantly transforming. It seemed that the mantras hitting it were directly absorbed by the golden lotus. He guessed that the mantras were changing the golden lotus.


    Wang Weijun was not wrong about this. These mantras were indeed transforming the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus. This was the instinct of the Mantra Banner.


    Mi Xiaojing stood still, his Divine Sense sinking into his Dan Tian. He wanted tomunicate with Wang Weijun, but Wang Weijun was not on the heart tower, so he kept observing the newly appeared lotus.


    In Evolutionary Immortality, the lotus is a very important thing. It is said that in the Evolutionary Community, lotuses with evolutionary properties will even appear.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus. The originally bright red lotus, after being reorganized by the mantra, turned golden. Could it be that this kind of golden lotus is the lotus needed for Evolutionary Immortality?


    Just then, a pure ck lotus slowly appeared around the golden lotus. Mi Xiaojing recognized it at a nce. Wasn''t this the shape of the Thousand Poisons'' lotus?


    In a few moments, this pure ck lotus began to change its shape, eventually bing infinitely simr to the golden thread lotus. The color remained pitch ck, floating next to the real Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus, slowly rotating.


    Then another purple-ck lotus appeared, which began to change as soon as it appeared. A total of four lotuses appeared: ck, purple-ck, purple, and purple-red, but no red lotus appeared.


    These four lotuses all turned into the shape of the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus, floating and rotating around it.


    Simrly, thin threadsposed of mantras floated out from the Karma Fire Golden Thread Lotus and wrapped around these four lotuses. With a thought from Mi Xiaojing, a ck lotus appeared in his palm.


    It was only half the size of an egg, like a crystal ck jade, crystal clear and moist, exquisite and transparent, looking very delicate, exuding an iparable mystery.


    With another thought from Mi Xiaojing, the ck lotus disappeared from his palm and reappeared next to the golden lotus in the heart tower of his Dan Tian, continuing to float and rotate.


    Mi Xiaojing scratched his head. He suddenly remembered that he had unintentionally shot out a lotus before, which directly hit a Foundation Establishment cultivator into oblivion. He pondered to himself, perhaps he could fight like the Thousand Poisons, directly using the lotus to attack?


    He must try it in the future. If sessful, he would have another powerful weapon.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing heard a strange noise and was startled. Someone wasing!


    This was the secret signal from Tian Cang. Mi Xiaojing looked around and found that there was no ce to hide. What should he do?


    Wang Weijun said, "No matter who it is, if theye here at this time, their purpose must be the same as yours. Don''t be afraid, go! If they dare to talk nonsense, just kill them!"


    Mi Xiaojing broke out in a cold sweat. This old man was fierce. But on second thought, it made sense. The outside was already in such a mess. Anyone who came here at this time definitely wanted to steal the spiritual grass and nts. In other words, as long as the person who came in was from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, they were also a thief. Everyone was on the same level, none of them were good people.


    Mi Xiaojing immediately flew out, reaching the mouth of the canyon in a few moments. Then he saw Tian Cang copsed on the ground, already knocked down by the neer.


    Chen Shouyi!


    Mi Xiaojing eximed, "It''s you!"


    Chen Shouyi didn''t expect to meet Mi Xiaojing here either. He couldn''t help butugh out loud. He said, "Kid, didn''t expect it, did you? You actually dared to steal the sect''s spiritual grass. Hahaha, kid, are you going to surrender, or do you want me to do it myself?"


    Overjoyed, Chen Shouyi was simply ecstatic. His n was to loot the treasures of the sect. The Grass-Benevolence Hall had already been cleaned out by him. This was thest spot. He knew there were some valuable spiritual grasses and nts here and couldn''t bear to give up, so he came to clean up. He didn''t expect someone to beat him to it, so he ruthlessly knocked down Tian Cang.


    But he didn''t expect there to be another person, and it was Mi Xiaojing, whom he had been plotting to capture and kill. There was no Grand Elder to hinder him here. He could do whatever he wanted. How could he not be happy? How could he not be pleased?


    As soon as Mi Xiaojing moved, Chen Shouyi shouted, "Don''t move! Kid, I know you have a powerful formation. Haha, but you''re toote!"


    In an instant, countless vines appeared around them, quickly wrapping around.


    Mi Xiaojing sneered, "You don''t necessarily know what I can do!" In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.Chen Shouyi had just cast a magical technique when he saw Mi Xiaojing disappear without a trace. He eximed in shock, "Teleportation? How is this possible!"


    At the same time, Mi Xiaojing appeared beside Tian Cang, grabbed him, and retreated. It was only then that Chen Shouyi realized that Mi Xiaojing had appeared behind him!


    By now, he was certain that Mi Xiaojing had used teleportation. This method required either a cultivation level reaching the Elemental Infant stage or a special talisman or escape technique. He suspected that Mi Xiaojing had a special talisman.


    His envy reached its peak. Such a talisman was a great life-saving tool. Chen Shouyi lunged forward, his sword light flickering. He was determined to kill Mi Xiaojing first. As for the alchemy techniques and other things he wanted, Chen Shouyi could no longer care about them. He had to eliminate this little guy, the threat was too great.


    If it were ording to Chen Shouyi''s previous thoughts, he would have tried to capture Mi Xiaojing first, force out the alchemy techniques and pill forms, and then seize the items on him. Only then would he kill Mi Xiaojing. But now, the order was reversed. Chen Shouyi wanted to kill Mi Xiaojing first.


    On the fifth day of the National Day, there''s a burst of updates! I, Old Xiao, didn''t rest either, I''ve been staying at home, fighting on the "front line" of writing, not daring to ck off at all.

 Chapter 214: Defeat the enemy with one move

    <h4>Chapter 214: Defeat the enemy with one move</h4>


    Chen Shouyi made this decision because the crisis outside was too great. He knew that Qingmu Peak could not be defended, and killing Mi Xiaojing in the chaos was the most appropriate thing to do now.


    As for looting and such, those were matters forter. Time no longer allowed him to dy.


    Although Tian Cang was seriously injured, his mind was clear. He didn''t expect that Mi Xiaojing would actually save him. This action gave him a great shock, he had never seen such a person before.


    "You should run, don''t worry about me."


    In Tian Cang''s heart, no matter what, since Mi Xiaojing was willing toe to save him, this person was definitely worth befriending, worth considering as a friend. He had a friend before, but he disappearedter, and he didn''t know whether he was alive or dead. In the Cultivation World, there were really few people who could be considered friends.


    At this moment, Tian Cang considered Mi Xiaojing as a friend in his heart, hence he said such a sentence.


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly showed a smile, he said: "Who says I will lose!"


    This statement was too domineering, Tian Cang didn''t believe it after hearing it. You, a person who hasn''t cultivated to the Great Perfection realm in the Foundation Establishment stage, are facing a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Even if this cultivator is not good at fighting, the gap in realm is still there.


    In the Cultivation World, if there is no heaven-defying means, a lower-level cultivator is almost certain to lose in a battle with a gap of a major realm.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at the rushing Chen Shouyi and sneered: "Come on!"


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing flicked his finger, a ck lotus flew out, then another flick, a purple-ck lotus also flew out, followed by the third flick, a purple-red lotus flew out, Mi Xiaojing released three lotuses in one breath!


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing wanted to flick out a fourth lotus, but after releasing three lotuses, he felt a sense of fainting, his whole body began to weaken. He then realized that he had consumed arge amount of Starry Sky power. This was not the main problem, the main problem was the consumption of Divine Sense, he was very surprised that he had also consumed arge amount of Divine Sense.


    Chen Shouyi also sneered, he firmly believed that without the help of the Formation, no matter how Mi Xiaojing struggled, he was bound to lose. He had strong confidence in this. The only thing to pay attention to now was to prevent Mi Xiaojing from deploying the Formation, he was confident about this.


    In other words, in Chen Shouyi''s eyes, it was impossible for Mi Xiaojing to win against him, and it would be difficult to escape, because this was a closed space.


    If it were in an open space, Chen Shouyi really had no confidence to stop Mi Xiaojing. Since discovering that Mi Xiaojing could teleport, he was d that he met Mi Xiaojing here. He believed that heaven was helping him.


    With a sh of his sword, the ck lotus instantly shattered.


    The shattered ck lotus suddenly turned into countless thin threads, directly entwining Chen Shouyi''s sword. In an instant, Chen Shouyi found something wrong, he couldn''t control his sword. The sword flew a short distance, but before it reached Mi Xiaojing''s position, it fell directly, and the other two lotuses were already shot at Chen Shouyi.


    Chen Shouyi was stunned, he never thought that his sword would lose control, and for a moment he was at a loss.


    You should know that this sword was obtained from the sect''s treasure house, a lower-grade spirit sword. This was his first spirit sword. If it weren''t for the enemy attacking the sect, he would have no chance to touch such a spirit sword. It was really a treasure, but he didn''t expect that just by shattering an inconspicuous ck lotus, the spirit sword would lose control.


    Seeing the other two lotuses also flying over, Chen Shouyi had no choice but to shoot out his original magical sword. Two consecutive swords shattered the two lotuses. His figure retreated violently, trying to avoid the thin threads transformed from the lotus.


    But what Chen Shouyi didn''t expect was that these thin threads were faster than him, and they entwined him in an instant. At this time, his magical sword also lost control. Chen Shouyi couldn''t help but shout: "What is this?"


    Tian Cang waspletely stunned. He saw the three lotuses flying out clearly. His initial thought was the same as Chen Shouyi''s, he didn''t take it to heart at all. What could three lotuses do? But the result scared him.


    One lotus actually destroyed a spirit sword, and when the other two lotuses shattered, not only did they destroy another magical sword of the opponent, but they also continued to track and directly entwined Chen Shouyi with thin threads.


    Tian Cang couldn''t understand what this method was, but he felt in his heart that Mi Xiaojing was bing more and more mysterious.


    When the thin threads entwined Chen Shouyi, Mi Xiaojing sneered: "How does it feel?"


    Actually, Mi Xiaojing didn''t have much confidence in his heart. He originally nned to use the lotus to entangle Chen Shouyi, and then activate the Qingmu Formation. However, when he saw that the lotus instantly made the opponent''s spirit sword lose control, he knew that he had won!


    Even a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage couldn''t stand this thing. Mu Hengyuan almost fell on the lotus of Thousand Poisons. Although Mi Xiaojing was not as powerful as Thousand Poisons, the lotus copied by the Mantra Banner and modified ording to the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus was not something Chen Shouyi could resist.


    At present, this lotus is still in its infancy, but it has already shown great power.


    It''s worthy of being a method of Thousand Poisons. Those thin threads were imprinted on Chen Shouyi''s skin in the blink of an eye. He was just a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, how could he resist the invasion of the Poisonous Thread, and he directly fell to the ground.


    Chen Shouyi couldn''t believe it, trying to stand up again. At this moment, all his strength and true essence seemed to be snow meeting a big fire, melting rapidly.


    How is this possible?


    Not only Chen Shouyi couldn''t understand, Tian Cang also couldn''t understand. He didn''t know what these three lotuses were refined from, but they could paralyze a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, and he couldn''t even stand up. This was too terrifying, what kind of method was this?


    There was fear in Chen Shouyi''s eyes, and even a trace of fear shed in Tian Cang''s eyes. He had a sense of awe towards Mi Xiaojing, this kid was powerful!


    Mi Xiaojing nced at Chen Shouyi, did not continue to attack, he came to Tian Cang''s side, and said: "Open your mouth!" A spirit pill was flicked out and directly fell into Tian Cang''s mouth.


    Tian Cang struggled to sit cross-legged, began to adjust his breath and cultivate, striving to recover from his injuries. Chen Shouyi''s attack just now directly caused him serious injuries. If it weren''t for Mi Xiaojing''s arrival, Chen Shouyi would probably finish him off with another attack. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing arrived in time, diverting the attention, otherwise he would be dead.Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay any attention to Chen Shouyi, he directly sat cross-legged next to Tian Cang, silently absorbing the starlight. The three consecutive strikes just now made him realize that his cultivation level was still not enough. Even though he only released three lotus flowers, it felt as if he had been fighting for a long time, truly exhausted.


    The power of the Starry Sky recovered quickly. Although he still felt a bit tired, Mi Xiaojing had already recovered. Only then did he sink his Divine Sense into his Dan Tian. He wanted to check if the lotus flowers were still there.

 Chapter 215: Crazy Tian Cang

    <h4>Chapter 215: Crazy Tian Cang</h4>


    Upon closer inspection, Mi Xiaojing was even more surprised. The four lotus flowers were indeed still there, but three of them were different from what he had seen before.


    The lotuses he had seen before were like physical entities, but now they were just illusions. As they rotated around the Golden Thread Lotus, spirit scripts attached themselves to them. Mi Xiaojing realized that to restore them to their original state, it would probably take some time, maybe a day, maybe five or six days.


    Mi Xiaojing became cautious, deciding not to use the lotus attack casually unless absolutely necessary. With his current strength, releasing three lotus flowers was his limit. Once used, he would basically lose hisbat power.


    Tian Cang recovered first, thanks to the Spirit Pill, his injuries healed extremely quickly.


    Mi Xiaojing continued to observe the Heart Tower. Gradually, he began to understand that these things formed by spirit scripts could only exert their power if they had a foundation. For example, the Poison Lotus he had stolen from Thousand Poisons could barely produce one flower. But when he had the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus, it was as if he had a foundation. Only then did four Poison Lotuses appear on the Heart Tower.


    The Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture should also be the same. If he could get the original copy of the Ancient Tribtion Pill Scripture, these seven pages of scripturesposed of spirit scripts might be weapons.


    However, for the death substitute puppet, Mi Xiaojing still couldn''t figure out how to use it, or even if it could be used. He didn''t even know how to activate it.


    Tian Cang stood up and walked over to Chen Shouyi. A mocking smile appeared on his face: "Chen Shouyi, hehe, senior, senior! Hehe."


    Chen Shouyi was powerless, let alone resisting, he couldn''t even move. But this didn''t prevent him from speaking.


    "What do you want to do? I am your elder, do you dare to disrespect your ancestors?"


    Tian Cangughed breathlessly: "Hehe, senior? You came in acting like a senior, wanting to kill your junior, hehe, I don''t recognize you as a beastly elder. You''re only fit to be an elder to pigs, no, being an elder to pigs is an insult to pigs!"


    Chen Shouyi''s face turned pale. He knew he was finished. With Tian Cang''s tone and attitude, he could almost be sure that this man would definitely take the opportunity to kill him.


    "If the sect finds out that you killed an elder, it will be useless even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"


    A flush of excitement crossed Tian Cang''s face. He said, "I know, I know, haha, I know all about it. Killing a sect elder is indeed a crime, and the sect will indeed hunt me down relentlessly. I''m very clear about this, so guess, will I kill you? Haha!"


    Chen Shouyi said, "If you let me go, I will give you..."


    Tian Cang suddenly interrupted him: "Chen Shouyi, are you stupid, or am I stupid? If you want to be a fool, I won''t stop you, but don''t treat me like a fool like you! Hehe, let you go? Are you dreaming, or sleepwalking? Are you an idiot?"


    Chen Shouyi''s face turned red with anger. He shouted, "Have you considered the consequences of humiliating me like this?"


    Tian Cang suddenly pulled out a stick and hit Chen Shouyi on the head. He didn''t dare to touch those poisonous threads, so he took out a weapon to vent his anger first.


    "You dare to hit me?"


    .


    Without saying a word, Tian Cang hit him again with the stick, and then, like a madman, he kept hitting him, saying, "I dare not, I dare not hit! I''m really scared! You''re so powerful, senior, how dare I hit you!"


    With each word, he hit him with the stick, using all his strength.


    "I really dare not, I see seniors and I salute, I see seniors and I''m scared, how dare I!"


    Having almost been killed by Chen Shouyi just now, Tian Cangpletely lost his mind. Like beating a drum, he held the iron stick in both hands and swung it round and round.


    Chen Shouyi was stunned. Why was he shouting that he didn''t dare to hit him, but his hand was still hitting him wildly?


    Skin, flesh, blood, and teeth flew everywhere. Tian Cang was holding an iron stick. Although Chen Shouyi was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn''t use his cultivation to resist. After a round of wild beating, he was beaten into a pig''s head.


    Tian Cang turned to look at Mi Xiaojing, seeing that he was still sitting on the ground, not paying attention to what he was doing, the smile on his face grew even wider.


    Chen Shouyi was almost blinded by the beating. His eyes were swollen to a slit. He tried hard to open his eyes and saw Tian Cang''s smile. He couldn''t help but shiver.


    He had already reacted. Tian Cang didn''t care about his threats at all. Now it was a time of war, no one would care about the life or death of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    If it had been in the past, without Mi Xiaojing, his disappearance as a master of alchemy would have caused the sect to search for him with all their might. But now it was different. Chen Shouyi was almost certain that the sect didn''t have time to bother with him.


    With Mi Xiaojing, he was already dispensable to the higher-ups of the sect.


    A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and Chen Shouyi was truly panicked.


    With all his teeth knocked out, Chen Shouyi couldn''t speak clearly. He stuttered a lot, but unfortunately, Tian Cang couldn''t understand a word. He hit him with the stick and said, "Senior, what did you say? I can''t understand! Are you very angry? Speak clearly, speak clearly!"


    The stick poked at Chen Shouyi''s mouth. Looking at Chen Shouyi on the ground, Tian Cang felt extremely happy.


    Finally, Chen Shouyi uttered a rtively clear word: "Kill..."


    He wanted to say, "You kill me," but he couldn''t speak clearly, and could only utter the word "kill."


    Tian Cang suddenly stopped. He tilted his head, looked at Chen Shouyi, and his face grew colder and colder. He said, "Senior, you still want to kill me, huh? I was originally going to spare your life, but now, I''m really sorry, really sorry, go to hell!"


    With a thrust of the stick, it pierced directly through Chen Shouyi''s neck. However, at Chen Shouyi''s level, even if his neck was pierced, he wouldn''t die.


    Putting away the iron stick, Tian Cang took out a knife and chopped off Chen Shouyi''s head in one stroke. Instantly, a Golden Elixir flew out from Chen Shouyi''s abdomen, which he caught and immediately sealed.


    Tian Cang sneered, "Did you think you could escape? Hehe."Tian Cang was a man who had experienced the harsh realities of the outside world, evening close to losing his life there. His character and temperament were typical of a Cultivator, never harming others, always looking out for himself. He believed that not taking advantage of an opportunity was a fool''s game, and he was the type to hold grudges and seek revenge. Chen Shouyi had almost killed him just now, so he didn''t hesitate to kill Chen Shouyi in return, doing so swiftly and decisively.


    Mi Xiaojing''s Divine Sense was still in his Dan Tian. He was still observing the four Poison Lotuses, calcting how long it would take for them to recover.


    At first, he estimated that it would take at least a day. However, as he continued to observe, Mi Xiaojing found that the Poison Lotuses were recovering at a rapid pace. Based on their current rate, they would likely be fully recovered in about half a day.


    This discovery delighted him. The power of the Poison Lotus could allow him to fight across realms. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage had rtively low resistance to the Poison Lotus, making it his new secret weapon.

 Chapter 216: New plan

    <h4>Chapter 216: New n</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing began to understand why, when one reached the higher stages of Evolutionary Immortality, their strength would increase so rapidly that it was difficult for cultivators of the same level topete.


    This time, seeing Thousand Poisons in action, with just a few moves of the Poison Lotus, he had left Mu Hengyuan in a state of life and death. This kind of strength was indeed terrifying. What was even more frightening was that Thousand Poisons seemed to have not used his full strength. With a casual stroke, Mu Hengyuan was defeated, and the defeat was quite miserable.


    Thousand Poisons, Mi Xiaojing felt that this person was very sinister and his methods were very superb. Judging from his strength, he definitely did not try his best when attacking the sect, but was fishing in troubled waters.


    Mi Xiaojing spected that the purpose of this person should be to take advantage of the situation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use his full strength.


    After watching the Heart Tower for a while, Mi Xiaojing also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for long. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the corpse of Chen Shouyi. Upon closer inspection, Chen Shouyi''s head and body had already parted ways. He got up and asked, "Did you kill him?"


    Tian Cang said, "Hmm, if we left him alive, we would be in danger. These are the things I found on him, all for you. I only want his Golden Elixir!"


    Storage bags, and there were two storage bags, plus some odds and ends.


    Mi Xiaojing took a brief look and found that there were quite a few Spirit Pills. He took them out and said, "The Spirit Pills are for you." He did not ask Tian Cang for the Golden Elixir. Although a Golden Elixir was very useful, Mi Xiaojing did not want to use such things, so he did not mention it.


    Tian Cang was immediately excited. He even gave himself the Spirit Pills. Originally, he was also envious of these Spirit Pills, but considering that Chen Shouyi was defeated by Mi Xiaojing, he had almost no credit. He had already taken a big advantage by grabbing the Golden Elixir. He was already at a disadvantage, and he didn''t think Mi Xiaojing would agree if he wanted other things.


    Tian Cang had never thought that Mi Xiaojing would so casually give the pills to him, which surprised him. He had never seen someone like Mi Xiaojing.


    Unable to resist such temptation, he said, "Brother, if you need anything in the future, juste to me! As long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "Good!"


    As for the other things, Mi Xiaojing took them all. You should know that Chen Shouyi was nning to run away, and he had already collected a lot of things. Now all of them were cheap for him, and he made a big profit for nothing.


    What satisfied Mi Xiaojing the most was the eighty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones in the storage bag, plus more than two thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones and sixteen high-grade Spirit Stones.


    Mi Xiaojing was very happy and couldn''t help but say to Wang Weijun, "So many Spirit Stones."


    Wang Weijun poked his head out of the petals of the Business Fire Golden Thread Lotus and said, "Killing people and setting fires, this guy is just unlucky. He collected so many things, but in the end, they all became cheap for you. Kid, if you have a chance in the future, just kill. The harvest will be great."


    "I won''t kill people who don''t provoke me."


    Wang Weijun sneered and said, "Don''t provoke you? Don''t worry, there will be many peopleing to trouble you."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly. He had no way to argue. After this period of understanding, he understood that this was the way of the Cultivation World. Even if you don''t provoke others, others wille to provoke you. Just like Chen Shouyi, at first, Mi Xiaojing had a good impression of him. He didn''t expect that just because he was good at Alchemy, he couldn''t tolerate him.


    After thinking about it, Mi Xiaojing stood next to Chen Shouyi''s corpse and began to chant the mantra.


    The Golden Elixir was lost, but Chen Shouyi''s soul was still there. If he was buried, his soul would exist in other ways. Therefore, it is said that cultivators are very difficult to kill. The entanglement of cause and effect is endless, and this is the reason.


    However, when the mantra sounded, Chen Shouyi''s soul dissipated. Even if he wanted to cultivate ghosts, he couldn''t do it.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that his action had directly resolved the karma between him and Chen Shouyi, and even eliminated the karma between Chen Shouyi and Tian Cang.


    Tian Cang didn''t understand Mi Xiaojing''s actions. He suddenly found a problem. Mi Xiaojing''s action of turning the Prayer Beads reminded him of Evolutionary Immortality. When Mi Xiaojing stopped chanting the mantra, he asked, "Are you an Evolutionary Immortal? No, you are a cultivator... Are you practicing Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation at the same time?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Can''t I?"


    Tian Cang was startled and said, "Hehe, yes, of course you can!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I was born an Evolutionary Immortal. After the Sword Heart Sect was destroyed, I was captured and brought here. How could I not practice Evolutionary Immortality?"


    Hearing this, Tian Cang broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "No, no, hehe, I was just curious for a moment, don''t mind... I don''t want to mention this kind of thing, hehe, I was just curious, curious..."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head. In fact, he also wanted to understand that whether it was Evolutionary Immortality or Cultivation, what was increased was his own ability. As long as it was useful, there was no need to care about other issues. He felt that his Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation were both going smoothly. If it felt right, then everything was right.


    "We should leave here!"


    Tian Cang said, "Yes, yes, maybe more people wille. Let''s go quickly."


    As Tian Cang spoke, he shot out a fireball talisman, directly burning Chen Shouyi''s corpse to ashes. After the ashes were burned, he waved his hand and a gust of wind blew them away, leaving nothing behind. The two then left the canyon.


    When they arrived outside the canyon and exited through the small path, Tian Cang resealed the canyon.


    Once outside, Mi Xiaojing heard the rumbling of explosions, the crisp sound of metal collisions, and the sound of explosionsing from afar. There was still intense fighting outside.


    Tian Cang said, "Where should we go?"Without any hesitation, Mi Xiaojing said, "Escape, escape to the outside of the sect!"


    Tian Cang said, "Okay."


    However, one person objected, and that was Wang Weijun.


    "Kid, don''t be in such a hurry to run. You have the Poison Lotus in your hand now, and you can teleport. As long as you don''t encounter a master at the Elemental Infant stage, you can move freely. Why are you in such a hurry to run?"


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback, and he secretly said to Wang Weijun, "What else can we do if we stay here?"


    With a tone of disappointment, Wang Weijun said, "You fool, this is a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Don''t you know how rare this opportunity is? The sect has so many good things, rob them! Steal them! If your cultivation level is too low and too dangerous, then you have to give up. But with your current strength, you can definitely give it a try. Why do you want to leave?"


    He was just short of calling him an idiot. ording to Wang Weijun''s thinking, if such an opportunity is not seized, then one is not a cultivator. The rogue cultivators outside are risking their lives to find opportunities, and Mi Xiaojing has a ready-made opportunity. It''s really unreasonable to run away.


    "You should know that once you leave the sect, it will be difficult to get a low-grade Spirit Stone. By then, you will understand how precious this opportunity is, so at this time, you can''t run away no matter what."


    "Hey, you didn''t say that before!"


    Once again, thank you all for your support and love. Because I''ve been busy writing recently, I haven''tmunicated with everyone in the group. After the National Day holiday, well, I''ll go and chat in the group!

 Chapter 217: Target, Hidden Huo City!

    <h4>Chapter 217: Target, Hidden Huo City!</h4>


    "Pah, times change! You''re too rigid. You need to be flexible and seize opportunities when they arise. If there''s no opportunity, create one. But you, you even avoid opportunities when they present themselves. Isn''t that foolish?"


    Tian Cang suddenly noticed that Mi Xiaojing had been silent, his head bowed, lost in thought. He asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "Nothing, just considering some matters."


    Tian Cang said, "The situation outside is getting more chaotic. We need to decide quickly how to escape."


    Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment, then said, "The two of us together would be too conspicuous. Let''s split up and escape. Do you have a ce in mind?"


    Tian Cang shook his head, "No, let''s just get out of here first."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Have you ever been to Hidden Huo City?"


    Tian Cang nodded, "Yes, it''s not too far from the sect."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Then let''s head to Hidden Huo City. My younger brothers are there. We can regroup there, what do you think?"


    Tian Cang was surprised, "You sent them to Hidden Huo City?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, I sent them away earlier."


    Tian Cang admired Mi Xiaojing''s foresight. Before this, not everyone in the sect was allowed to leave, yet Mi Xiaojing had managed to send his people away.


    Of course, Tian Cang had never considered these things. He was a loner and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The sect would never allow him to leave.


    "Alright, I''ll head to Hidden Huo City!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "If you get there first, please look after them for me."


    Tian Cangughed, "No problem, rest assured. I''ll find them as soon as I get there."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Alright, let''s part ways here."


    Tian Cang immediately left via a small path down the mountain, while Mi Xiaojing headed towards the Grass-Benevolence Hall.


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing entered the Grass-Benevolence Hall. He saw many people running around, many of whom were ordinary servants.


    At this point, the defenses of Qingmu Peak were basically unmanned. Most people were fleeing, not daring to leave the defensive circle, and not knowing where to go, which made the situation particrly chaotic.


    Mi Xiaojing spotted Guan Shangli standing at the entrance. He walked over and asked, "Why are you still here?"


    Guan Shangli couldn''t help but smile bitterly, "The elders of the Grass-Benevolence Hall are all gone. Only a few of us Foundation Establishment stewards are left to manage things. Everything is in chaos now. I''m trying to figure out what to do."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "What''s there to think about? Prepare to run. The enemy is about to break in!"


    Guan Shangli waspletely flustered. He was never good at fighting or alchemy, which was why he had stayed in the sect, content to be a steward. If the sect wasn''t in crisis, he could have lived a peaceful life. But now, he waspletely at a loss.


    "Ah? We really have to run?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "The elders of the Grass-Benevolence Hall have all run away. What are we staying here for? Are you a great fighter?"


    Guan Shangli smiled bitterly, "I''m no fighter. I guess I''ll run too. But where should I run to?"


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment, then said, "Have you ever been to Hidden Huo City?"


    Guan Shangli said, "I have, a long time ago. Are you suggesting I run to Hidden Huo City?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, there should be quite a few people from the sect who will escape there. It will be easier to findpanions."


    Guan Shangli bowed in gratitude, then turned and ran. Mi Xiaojing called after him, "Run from the foot of the mountain!" At this point, flying would be suicide. With so many eyes watching, unless one was an Elemental Infant expert, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to walk on the ground.


    It was like a crowd of people on the ground holding bows and arrows. Any bird foolish enough to fly up would be shot down. Foundation Establishment cultivators should never think they can fly fast. Once they take to the sky, they''re not far from being shot down.


    As Guan Shangli ran, he called out, "Thank you!"


    Mi Xiaojing headed deeper into the Grass-Benevolence Hall. At this point, there were no people in sight. He went straight to the storeroom where the Pill Cauldrons were kept, only to find that all the cauldrons were gone.


    Looking at the empty shelves, Mi Xiaojing said, "Old man, it seems no one is a fool. Everything here has been looted!"


    Wang Weijun said, "That''s normal. These are the obvious things, so they would be the first to be taken. The real treasures are in the sect''s main hall, especially that Mysterious Heaven Formation. I have a feeling there''s something good in there."


    Mi Xiaojing was startled, "What? Going to the sect''s treasury now? Isn''t that suicide?"


    Wang Weijun said, "What is an opportunity? Opportunities don''t just appear when you want them to. You have to seek them out, to take a chance! Sess means seizing the opportunity, failure means missing it. But if you don''t try, you''re guaranteed to get nothing!"


    Mi Xiaojing finally understood Wang Weijun''s meaning. He was suggesting that he go to the main hall of the sect to look for opportunities. If there was one, seize it. If not, it didn''t matter. It was better than just running away. If there was a chance to enter the Mysterious Heaven Formation, even if they couldn''t get into the treasury, it would at least give Wang Weijun a chance to study the formation and find secrets within the Mysterious Heaven Formation that the Heart Sect hadn''t discovered.


    Ever since Mi Xiaojing had entered the Mysterious Heaven Formation once, Wang Weijun had been obsessed with it. He believed there were secrets inside, secrets that the Heart Sect had not discovered.No matter what, he wanted to take a look. Besides, Mi Xiaojing''s strength had greatly increased and he had more tricks up his sleeve. He believed that as long as he was careful, there shouldn''t be any major problems.


    I''m not going!


    Mi Xiaojing had never thought that Wang Weijun would make such a decision. ording to his own thoughts, in such a chaotic situation, one should run as far as possible.


    But Wang Weijun was different. Seeking opportunities in crises had be his instinct. For Wang Weijun, this opportunity was very rare, and giving up was not his style.


    It''s a pity that he had no ability to act, so he kept instigating Mi Xiaojing to stay. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing''s abilities had greatly increased recently, especially after defeating Chen Shouyi, he gained more confidence.


    What does it matter if his strength and cultivation level are insufficient? He had plenty of tricks, his attack methods were very strange, and most importantly, Mi Xiaojing could teleport. This was enough. Stirred by Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing was also moved.


    He said, "Alright, I''ll go!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t n to teleport. The limitations of this trick were strong, and if used too many times, it would fail. He had learned his lesson before, so this time he was much more careful.


    Mi Xiaojing followed the path, flying close to the ground to speed up. Of course, flying high was impossible.


    In a moment, Mi Xiaojing arrived at the foot of the mountain. He found that many low-level cultivators had gathered here, and there were even quite a few ordinary people.


    When these people saw Mi Xiaojinging down, they all started discussing.


    Finished coding, continue to ask, all kinds of asking!

 Chapter 218: Return to the main peak

    <h4>Chapter 218: Return to the main peak</h4>


    Exciting and ad-free! Someone was shouting, "Senior, how do we get out?"


    "Senior, take us with you!"


    "What should we do?"


    "Yes, yes, senior... please save us..."


    Mi Xiaojing remained silent, instantly rushing out of the defensive formation. He felt terrible inside, it was like when the Western Evolutionary Sect was destroyed, they were powerless to resist and could only be ughtered.


    But he knew that he couldn''t save these people, and most importantly, he didn''t want to.


    Since he didn''t want to save them, he could only rush out. Mi Xiaojing had a jade token that allowed him to enter and exit the defensive formation, so it wouldn''t stop him. Those people blocked at the foot of the mountain didn''t even have a jade token to enter and exit the defensive formation, they couldn''t leave unless the defensive formation was broken, otherwise, they could only stay where they were.


    At the foot of the mountain, the originally dense forest was ttened, the ground was in a mess, many manors had be ruins. Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to fly, he moved through the ruins. Fortunately, he was a cultivator, if he were a mortal, it would be extremely difficult to move.


    Because Mi Xiaojing had defeated more than a dozen cultivators with the Qingmu formation when he returned to Qingmu Peak, the rogue cultivators who attacked Qingmu Peak were greatly frightened. Although these people were not killed by Mi Xiaojing, they were all scared out of their wits.


    This resulted in fewer cultivators attacking Qingmu Peak, leaving some gaps for Mi Xiaojing to slip away.


    Moving forward stealthily, although Mi Xiaojing was powerful, he didn''t want to fight. Once a fight started, the surrounding rogue cultivators would swarm like wolves smelling blood. At that time, Mi Xiaojing guessed he would have to use the Qingmu formation again.


    The Qingmu formation was his sharpest weapon to deal with group fights, but once used, it would consume a lot of spirit stones. Mi Xiaojing was really heartbroken about the consumption of spirit stones, so he would rather take some effort to move towards the main peak bit by bit.


    On the way, Mi Xiaojing encountered a rogue cultivator, a rogue cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. As soon as this person saw Mi Xiaojing, his face changed drastically and he turned and ran. Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, what was this about?


    That person was one of the rogue cultivators who had besieged Mi Xiaojing before. His injuries hadn''t healed yet, so of course, he ran when he saw Mi Xiaojing.


    Wang Weijun was also stunned. He couldn''t help but say, "Haha, kid, when did you be so powerful? A rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he ran as soon as he saw you!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "How would I know... Oh... I remember, this guy was one of the ones who besieged me before. He must have been seriously injured in the Qingmu formation, I guess he''s afraid of the Qingmu formation!" His memory was very good, a little recollection, and he understood the reason.


    Wang Weijunughed after hearing this, "So that''s it, it''s not surprising then. Rogue cultivators are typically bullies who are afraid of the tough. Haha, no wonder he ran away as soon as he saw you, he must be afraid you''ll do it again."


    Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "Old man, you were a rogue cultivator back then, right? Were you also a bully who was afraid of the tough?"


    "Ah, spit, when have I ever been a bully who was afraid of the tough? I bullied both the weak and the strong, okay? I''ve never been afraid of anyone!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman appeared in Wang Weijun''s mind. That time, he was really scared to the extreme.


    But Mi Xiaojing didn''t know about this, he said, "Oh, I see."


    Wang Weijun suddenly deted, he said weakly, "Let''s go quickly, if we get surrounded... it will dy time."


    With Mi Xiaojing''s cultivation level, even on the ground, once he elerated, his speed was definitely not slow. He hopped and jumped, running all the way. The scene along the way was truly tragic, not even a single tree was intact, let alone the original manors, they were all in ruins. The Heart Sect was almostpletely destroyed.


    Before long, Mi Xiaojing saw the shadow of the main peak. The sword light was flickering on it, and the rumbling sound was continuous. Even now, the top fighters of both sides were still fighting fiercely.


    Since the main peak''s defensive formation was broken, there weren''t many people left on the main peak. Except for a few cultivators at thete stage of Foundation Establishment and Great Perfection who were still fighting, the ordinary disciples had already run away.


    On the main peak, it was mainly the battlefield of the Elemental Infant stage masters. This level of battle, once it spread, cultivators below the Elemental Infant stage would find it hard to resist. Only the masters at thete stage of Foundation Establishment and Great Perfection could resist a bit, but if they were not careful, they would also be killed.


    Other cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, as well as those at the Foundation Establishment stage, dared not stay on the main peak, it was too dangerous!


    And those who attacked the main peak were also mainly masters at the Elemental Infant stage. A few cultivators at thete stage of Foundation Establishment and Great Perfection could only dodge and avoid as much as possible the masters at the Elemental Infant stage. They were not afraid of the aftermath of the battle, but they were afraid of being targeted by the masters at the Elemental Infant stage.


    A gap of a big realm made it so that once the masters at the Elemental Infant stage freed their hands, let alone a direct attack, even a casual strike, the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage could not withstand.


    The reason why these cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were unwilling to retreat was because the main peak was where the Heart Sect was located, generally speaking, there would be a lot of good things, no one could be indifferent.


    These masters at the Foundation Establishment stage were also holding the mentality of fishing in troubled waters. If they found an opportunity, the harvest would be very rich.In the wilderness outside the main peak, many rogue cultivators were hiding, all here to fish in troubled waters. However, given their strength, they dared not rush to the main peak, let alone approach the foot of the mountain.


    The battles of Elemental Infant stage cultivators were swift and fierce. If they identally encountered a master, it would be a death wish. Every rogue cultivator was cunning, those who weren''t had long been killed.


    These rogue cultivators were slicker than one another. They were fine with taking advantage of the situation, but none of them were willing to fight to the death unless their own lives were at stake.


    They hid patiently, observing the battle on the main peak.


    At this time, Mi Xiaojing was almost at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, no one had stopped him.


    These rogue cultivators had all seen Mi Xiaojing and noticed his attire. They knew he was a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Heart Sect, and their faces showed admiration.


    In their eyes, Mi Xiaojing was heading for death. A Foundation Establishment disciple, in such a sect war, was nothing more than cannon fodder. As for Qi Refining cultivators, they were not even considered cannon fodder.


    While other disciples of the Heart Sect were fleeing, this disciple was running towards the main peak. This showed that there were disciples of the Heart Sect who were loyal to the sect and could stand firm with the sect in times of crisis.


    This was the understanding of the rogue cultivators.


    How could they imagine that Mi Xiaojing''s purpose foring here was the same as theirs, to fish in troubled waters.


    However, Mi Xiaojing was not cunning enough. He ran straight towards the main peak, giving the impression that he was courting death, bravely sacrificing himself for the sect.


    Thest day of the double holiday, also thest day of the long holiday. Today there are still three updates. This has been the busiest but also the most fulfilling holiday for me.


    During the holiday, Transcendent gained two more alliance leaders and many more friends. I have been paying attention and am very grateful. I wish everyone a fulfilling holiday and hope Transcendent can have a fulfilling holiday too!


    Ahem, after all that, I still have to say, please, please rmend! Your support is my greatest motivation. 16-10-0709:04:14

 Chapter 219: Passive Yong Ji

    <h4>Chapter 219: Passive Yong Ji</h4>


    This was also the reason why no one stopped Mi Xiaojing. Since there were disciples loyal to the Heart Sect willing to die, and since he wanted to be loyal to the sect, they might as well let him die. Stop him? The rogue cultivators were not that bored.


    In a moment, Mi Xiaojing returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard, which hadpletely turned into ruins. Even the small pond formed by the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring was buried by more than half with mud and rocks.


    Boom!


    A brilliant light shone from not far away, followed by the sound of impact and cursing. The noise grew louder and louder. Mi Xiaojing quickly hid in the ruins and looked out.


    A figure was shooting towards the Gathering Spring Courtyard quickly, with two sword shadows following closely behind him.


    The person in front suddenly stopped. Hended on a pile of ruins, a sword hanging beside him, spitting out a half-foot-long Treasure Light. This was the phenomenon presented after being driven to its full potential.


    Yong Ji!


    Mi Xiaojing was stunned. It was actually Yong Ji, and he was being chased by two Foundation Establishment experts. These two people''s cultivation levels were not much different from Yong Ji''s, so it was no wonder he couldn''t resist and could only fight while fleeing.


    The two pursuing cultivators were bothte-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators. The reason they couldn''t take down Yong Ji was not only because of his own strength, but also because his spirit sword yed a key role.


    This was a spirit sword. Even if the two of them joined forces, they could only gain the upper hand. Every time it came to a critical moment, Yong Ji''s spirit sword would exert its power, forcing the two to withdraw and defend themselves.


    However, after fighting for so long, Yong Ji''s true essence had been consumed almostpletely. He was gradually bing unable to cope and wanted to shake off the two and find a ce to recover his strength.


    But these two rogue cultivators were extremely shrewd. Of course, they wouldn''t give Yong Ji such an opportunity. They kept pestering him, not giving him any time to recover.


    Yong Ji''s chest was heaving violently. He tried to calm his rapid breathing, staring at the two men. He was extremely annoyed. If it was one-on-one, he would have killed the opponent long ago. But with the two of them joining forces, he was really no match.


    Yong Ji wanted to take out a Cultivating Essence Pill to recover his true essence several times, but he couldn''t bear to do so. He only had four Cultivating Essence Pills in his hand, all of which were given to him by Mi Xiaojing privately. Three of them were low-grade pills. He had already consumed two in the previous battles, leaving only one.


    There was also a medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pill, which Yong Ji would absolutely not eat unless it was absolutely necessary.


    Yong Ji suddenly turned his head and nced at the ruins where Mi Xiaojing was hiding. A trace of doubt shed in his eyes, but his attention was quickly diverted.


    The twote-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivatorsnded on the left and right, forming a pincer attack. One of them said, "Put down your storage bag, and you can go!"


    Having seen Yong Ji''s strength, the two of them really had no confidence in defeating him. So they wanted to force Yong Ji to put down his storage bag. Even if they could snatch some spoils of war, it would be good. As for killing the opponent, neither of them had this confidence.


    "Spit!"


    Yong Ji spat out a mouthful of saliva and arrogantly said, "You two pieces of trash, you haven''t done anything to me so far. If you have the ability, kill me. Not only can you take away the storage bag, but you can also get my spirit sword. Hmph...you two pieces of trash, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one, see how I **********" Mi Xiaojing almostughed out loud. When he had seen Yong Ji before, he was always silent and spoke very calmly. He didn''t expect that once he started fighting, he would call everyone trash and refer to himself as ''your grandpa''. It was quite surprising.


    The two rogue cultivators looked at each other and thenunched an attack at the same time. One of them used a sword, but it was far inferior to the Qianyang Sword. The other rogue cultivator used a magic weapon, a string of copper coins. When it was sent out, it turned into a sky full of coin shadows. When it gathered, it turned into a copper coin sword, which looked very strange.


    The two of them cooperated very tacitly. One attacked and the other defended. There was no gap between their switches. Yong Ji couldn''t find an opportunity to attack, which led to a stalemate.


    Mi Xiaojing watched with great interest. For him, any battle was a learning opportunity, especially high-level battles, which could give him some experience.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing had already decided to make a move. Yong Ji had protected him for some days. Although the two of them couldn''t be said to have a good rtionship, Yong Ji had been very friendly to him during this period. Mi Xiaojing had always been like this. If you were good to me, I wouldn''t ignore you. I would definitely lend a hand.


    This quality was something that Wang Weijun deeply despised. Actions without a purpose, in his view, were just stupid and foolish.


    Mi Xiaojing used his Divine Sense to check the Poison Lotus. Three of them had not fully recovered, and only one was intact, which he had not usedst time.


    After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing understood that this single Poison Lotus was far from enough. The only thing that could help Yong Ji was the Qingmu Formation. Once the Qingmu Formation was deployed, Yong Ji could defeat his opponents without Mi Xiaojing''s help.


    But when he thought of the consumption of the Qingmu Formation, Mi Xiaojing felt helpless. However, when he thought about the Spirit Stones he had just obtained from Chen Shouyi, he felt much better. He had enough to use the formation many times.Quietly opening the wooden box, Mi Xiaojing secretly set up a formation, appearing quiteposed at this moment.


    Wang Weijun asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "Setting up a formation, what else could I be doing?"


    "I mean, why are you setting up a formation? Are you nning to join the fight?"


    "If I can hold off one of them, Elder Yong will be able to win..."


    "Hey! Kid, we''re here to seize an opportunity, not to fight... With your level of strength, fighting here is just asking for death, isn''t it?"


    "No, with the Qingmu formation, I''m not afraid even if two of theme in, let alone one!"


    Wang Weijun didn''t bother to argue further. After all, it was Mi Xiaojing''s Spirit Stones being consumed, and it had nothing to do with him. He simply didn''t like this approach.


    Of course, Wang Weijun knew very well that Mi Xiaojing, with his Qingmu formation and Poison Lotus, had already surpassed the strength of an average Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was also why he dared to stir up trouble here.


    Without these two treasures, Mi Xiaojing''s strength would be greatly reduced. He was relying on these two trump cards, along with an ancient escape talisman, to move freely in this situation.


    Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing emerged from the ruins, then threw out a bunch of talismans, which instantly transformed into fireballs, ice arrows, and the like. Even a Qi Refining cultivator could withstand such talismans, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing, Yong Ji was greatly shocked and shouted, "Run!"


    The two rogue cultivators'' eyes lit up instantly. This was a ready-made opportunity. If they didn''t seize it, they wouldn''t be the cunning men they were known to be. It was clear that Yong Ji attached great importance to this kid, otherwise he wouldn''t be so anxious.


    The two men exchanged a nce. One of them used his flying sword to entangle Yong Ji, while the other charged directly at Mi Xiaojing.

 Chapter 220: Deal with

    <h4>Chapter 220: Deal with</h4>


    Yong Ji was in a great hurry. He knew that his master, Yu Hong, valued Mi Xiaojing highly. If Xiaojing were to die here, he would bear a great responsibility.


    The rogue cultivator who was entangling Yong Ji burst intoughter. Yong Ji suddenly shook his spirit sword, which instantly transformed into countless sword lights sweeping across. He himself, however, lunged towards Xiaojing, determined to protect him at all costs.


    The rogue cultivator charging at Xiaojing roared, casting several magical techniques. His copper coin sword suddenly transformed into a stream of coins, surging towards Xiaojing.


    Xiaojing also cast a magical technique, shouting, "Rise!"


    In an instant, the Qingmu Formation expanded, not only trapping the charging rogue cultivator but also enclosing Yong Ji and another rogue cultivator within.


    The two rogue cultivators were instantly dumbfounded. Having been in the Cultivation World for so many years, how could they not know that this was a powerful formation? They never expected that a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage would possess such a mobile formation!


    The three of them were trapped in the Qingmu Formation, all suppressed by it. Xiaojing took this opportunity to approach Yong Ji and asked, "Can you handle one... no problem, right?"


    Yong Ji was overjoyed and replied, "No problem!"


    Xiaojing handed over a Cultivating Essence Pill, saying, "First recover a bit, then fight!"


    Yong Ji was immediately excited. He had just exhausted a lot of his true essence and was hesitating whether to take a Cultivating Essence Pill. He didn''t expect Xiaojing to directly give him one for recovery. He would never refuse such a good thing. He immediately swallowed the pill and began to recover on the spot.


    It must be said that the medicinal power of the Cultivating Essence Pill was excellent. Even a low-grade pill had a noticeable effect. Yong Ji recovered most of his strength in just a few minutes.


    During this time, Xiaojing did not use the Qingmu Formation to attack, but only to trap the two men, which saved quite a few spirit stones.


    Although the two rogue cultivators were not attacked, they were extremely terrified. Both of them realized that no matter how they struggled, they could not find a way out. In other words, they were trapped in the formation.


    A world of green mist surrounded them. Whether they tried to fly upwards, burrow downwards, or break out in any direction, they could not escape the formation. They understood that they had encountered a sophisticated formation!


    What was particrly terrifying was that they could no longer see their surroundings. They were originally at the foot of the main peak, but now they didn''t even know where the main peak was. This was the power of the Qingmu Formation. Once activated, even without attacking, it could make people feel desperate.


    Yong Ji didn''t dy and said to Xiaojing, "Find one and bring him to me. Keep the other one separate... After I deal with one, I''ll take care of the second one!"


    Xiaojing asked, "Do you need my help? I mean, using the formation to attack, not me personally."


    Yong Ji replied, "No need, I alone am enough. These two guys cooperate too well. I can''t beat them together, but if it''s just one, watch how I deal with them!"


    Xiaojingughed and said, "Alright, your turn!" He wanted to save some spirit stones. Since Yong Ji was going to fight, he nned to just watch and started to show off to Wang Weijun.


    "Look, I just activated the Qingmu Formation. I didn''t even need tounch an attack. Just by trapping two people, I didn''t have to spend many spirit stones!"


    "So, tell me, how many spirit stones did you use?"


    /p>


    "Well... haha, it seems I used a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, but that''s not too bad..."


    "A few hundred low-grade spirit stones, isn''t that still spirit stones?"


    "Well, it''s not too bad... haha."


    Xiaojingughed awkwardly, but he felt that spending a few hundred spirit stones to turn the tide for Yong Ji was worth it.


    The Qingmu Formation started to operate again, and the man using the copper coin sword was sent in front of Yong Ji. Yong Ji appeared suddenly, which scared the man into a panic.


    This man''s strength was actually average. He mainlycked good magical weapons and techniques. He was able to suppress Yong Ji only by helping each other with hispanion. He knew very well that he was no match for Yong Ji in a one-on-one fight.


    In just a short while, Yong Ji won. A rogue cultivator fighting a sect cultivator head-on was truly powerless, especially when it came to weapons. Yong Ji had a spirit sword, which made him stronger than most rogue cultivators. Without a weapon of equal power, it was too easy to be at a disadvantage.


    With Xiaojing trapping him with the formation on the side, the man was even less of a match for Yong Ji.


    After sessfully dealing with the two rogue cultivators, Xiaojing finally put away the Qingmu Formation.


    Yong Ji asked, "Why are youing back? This is a battlefield for high-level cultivators. You could easily be affected here. Hurry up and leave the sect. Wait for a while before returning..."


    Xiaojing replied, "I can''t escape. There are rogue cultivators everywhere outside..."


    Yong Ji couldn''t help but curse, "These bastards, wait until the sect recovers, none of them will be able to escape!"


    Sect cultivators have always looked down on rogue cultivators, and rogue cultivators, given the chance, will certainly take advantage of sect cultivators. The rtionship between the two is quite interesting.


    When a sect cultivator encounters a rogue cultivator, they either ignore them or fight. However, rogue cultivators usually suffer more because they are disorganized.


    Moreover, the roles between rogue cultivators and sect cultivators often switch. Rogue cultivators who join a sect are no longer rogue cultivators, and cultivators who leave a sect be rogue cultivators. Their rtionship is quiteplex.


    Xiaojing gradually understood the rtionship between the two. Compared to rogue cultivators, he identified more with sect cultivators. Rogue cultivators were too chaotic, with no rules to speak of. At least in the sect, there were some rules to follow. Anything they did would consider the sect''s attitude, while rogue cultivators were reckless, doing whatever they wanted, limited only by their strength.The rogue cultivators who came here were all seeking opportunities. As long as there was something to snatch, they didn''t mind resorting to murder and arson. It couldn''t be said that all rogue cultivators were scoundrels, but the majority of them, due to theck of restraint, were not good people.


    For this reason, the cultivators from the sects also killed rogue cultivators without any scruples.


    Yong Ji said, "You hide here, I still have to go to the main peak... They think they have already won, hmph, the oue is still uncertain!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "I''m going up too!"


    Yong Ji said, "It''s too dangerous up there, you should stay here and wait. When the winner is decided, I''lle to find you!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t say anything more. For him, if he didn''t go to the main peak, it meant that he had no chance. Since he hade to the main peak, he wouldn''t go back. He had to go to the main peak, what he had in mind was the sect''s treasure vault.


    After giving a few more instructions, Yong Ji left and flew upwards.


    There''s not much time left, those who still have monthly tickets, please cast your precious vote. (.)

 Chapter 221: Mimicry

    <h4>Chapter 221: Mimicry</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing watched as Yong Ji disappeared into the distance, then he stealthily made his way towards the main peak. He dared not fly here, with his cultivation level, he wasn''t sure if he could withstand even a single attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    As for Elemental Infant cultivators, it was best to teleport and flee as soon as he saw them. They were not something he could resist.


    Mi Xiaojing began to climb the mountain honestly. Fortunately, the forest on the main peak was dense. Once he entered the forest, the experts flying in the sky would generally not notice him.


    After Mi Xiaojing started climbing, his speed slowed down. It was useless to be fast. Everyone knew that the situation above was chaotic. It was unwise to rush in at this time. He had to wait for the right opportunity.


    "Old man, who do you think will win?"


    "I can''t say who will win, but you''d better hope that our sect loses. Only if we lose will you have a chance!"


    Mi Xiaojing also thought that what Wang Weijun said made sense. Even the smartest person would find it difficult to judge who would win or lose in this situation. No one knew whether the Heart Sect still had any cards up its sleeve.


    Since he didn''t dare to go to the main hall of the sect, Mi Xiaojing could only watch the excitement halfway up the mountain.


    Wang Weijun continued toment from the Heart Tower. His knowledge was extensive, and hisbat experience was even richer. Eachment deepened Mi Xiaojing''s understanding ofbat. This was on-the-spot teaching, which was of great help to Mi Xiaojing.


    Hiding in a low bush, Mi Xiaojingy sprawled out, looking up at the sky without getting tired. From here, he could see two people fighting, one was Banjin from the Vast Gold Sect, and the other was the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden from the Heart Sect.


    Clearly, Banjin was at a disadvantage. His Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword had already lost one ring. His strength was inferior, and even his weapon was inferior. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was using a top-grade spirit sword, which, if nurtured further, would be a top-grade spiritual weapon.


    Ice Soul Snow Drift Sword!


    Banjin was in a difficult situation. He was almost frozen. His cultivation technique was suitable for fighting in hot and dry ces, which was his favorite environment. But fighting with the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was simply suffering. Not only was the cold air pressing, but it was also mixed with sharp snowkes. It was really inconvenient and ufortable.


    After a few exchanges, Banjin''s Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword directly shattered one ring, causing Banjin''s Elemental Infant to be injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which relieved him a bit.


    Golden sand dots, snow knife pieces, six golden sand dragons were spinning around Banjin, trying to block the snow knives. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden obviously hadn''t done her best yet, she was just suppressing the opponent and asionally changing her position to prevent Banjin from escaping.


    Banjin roared and cursed.


    "Old woman! Come on! Come on! Don''t let me catch you... Haha, hit!"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden didn''t say a word, her face just turned paler. It was clear that she was extremely angry. The cold air surged around her, and sheunched more than a dozen magical techniques in a row. Instantly, the surrounding snow knives disappeared, and countless snowkes turned into two roaring ice dragons, which directly hit.


    It was like tearing a piece of cloth, making a crackling sound.


    Suddenly, one of the golden sand dragons around Banjin turned into smoke and dust. Banjin''s eyes were about to pop out. This old woman''s attack was too powerful, and another ring was shattered in an instant.


    Banjin was left with only five rings. The power of the Golden Sand Sword dropped sharply. He was already thinking about running away. He really couldn''t beat this woman. He was inferior in strength and even in weapons.


    Even if Banjin was extremely brave, he was still beaten without any spirit.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden suddenly said a sentence.


    "Try cursing again?"


    Her voice was cold, and even Mi Xiaojing, who was far away, could hear it clearly.


    Banjin opened his mouth, but he couldn''t curse.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was like a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice. Once she got angry, that cold aura made even a hot-tempered person like Banjin feel cold inside.


    The form of the Ice Soul Snow Drift Sword changed again. The two roaring ice dragons suddenlybined and turned into a huge ice and snow eagle. With a slight p of its wings, countless ice arrows were shot out.


    Mimicry!


    Although it was not real mimicry, this technique was already very advanced.


    Banjin couldn''t do this at all. When mimicry reached a high level, it could give the mimicked object a soul. Like Banjin''s Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword, although it turned into seven sand dragons, these sand dragons were just a nice way of saying it. They looked like sand dragons, but they were not real mimicry. They just slightly resembled the shape of sand dragons.


    But the ice and snow eagle formed by the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had a bit of charm.


    With this bit of charm, this spirit sword could perform beyond its level.


    At this time, Banjin was in a tragedy. He was pecked twice by the ice and snow eagle in an instant. The Five-Ring Golden Sand Sword instantly became a Three-Ring Golden Sand Sword. Even if he was brave, he didn''t dare to continue. Once the Three-Ring Golden Sand Sword was destroyed again, he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape. He disappeared on the spot, leaving a puff of smoke.


    The ice and snow eagle pounced fiercely, and with a strange sound, another ring was broken.The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden did not pursue, but instead cast a series of magical techniques. In truth, she had no choice but to use this move, as it also greatly depleted her. She took out a Cultivating Essence Pill and swallowed it. In this sectpetition, the Cultivating Essence Pill yed a significant role.


    Whenever her energy was greatly depleted, she would immediately consume a Cultivating Essence Pill. At the very least, her true essence would recover by half, thus reducing many dangers. As long as her true essence was sufficient, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden feared no opponent in the Elemental Infant stage.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden hovered in the air like this for several minutes. Only then did she beckon, and the Frost Snowfall Sword fell back into her hand, disappearing instantly.


    She turned her head to nce below. Mi Xiaojing felt a chill in his heart. However, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden did not descend but flew towards other battlefields.


    A voice suddenly sounded in Mi Xiaojing''s ear: "Hide there and don''t run around!"


    Mi Xiaojing could recognize the cold voice of the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. It turned out that she had discovered him long ago.


    Mi Xiaojing shivered. He felt like arge torch in the dark night, even though he was hiding so well, he still couldn''t deceive the cultivators in the Elemental Infant stage.


    Wang Weijun said: "Don''t worry, no cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage would bother to trouble a small Foundation Establishment stage like you. It''s not worth it, and they don''t have the time. You don''t need to worry about them. However, it would be more troublesome if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage sets their sights on you."


    "Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage... there shouldn''t be many, right? Given the opportunity, they should go to other peaks. This is a battlefield for those in the Elemental Infant stage. The Elemental Infant stage masters might not care about me, but a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage should be worth their effort, right?"


    "No, unless a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage is seeking death. Generally, those in the Elemental Infant stage will only target those of the same realm. In the Cultivation World, face is also very important."

 Chapter 222: Encounter Foundation Establishment

    <h4>Chapter 222: Encounter Foundation Establishment</h4>


    "What does ''face'' mean?"


    Mi Xiaojing really didn''t understand.


    "It means dignity. It''s very undignified to bully others because of your superior status."


    "What is ''dignity''?"


    Mi Xiaojing was even more confused.


    Wang Weijun felt like he was about to cough up blood. He knew that Mi Xiaojing had grown up in the Evolutionary Immortality sect and had never been out in the world. He had almost no understanding of the Cultivation World, so of course, he couldn''t understand what Wang Weijun was saying.


    "Forget it, don''t worry about it. All you need to know is that cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage generally won''t attack those of lower cultivation levels. Of course, it''s not strange if they do. Let''s not talk about this anymore, it''s so annoying!"


    Mi Xiaojing was confused. What was the old man trying to say? He didn''t understand at all.


    However, since Wang Weijun found it annoying, he didn''t ask any more questions.


    Wang Weijun said, "We still have a bit of a walk before we reach the sect''s main hall."


    "Okay!"


    Mi Xiaojing agreed and continued to walk upwards. Soon, he saw a familiar path, but he didn''t dare to walk on it as it was too conspicuous.


    He moved forward through the forest, surrounded by bushes and weeds. Mi Xiaojing even saw many spiritual herbs and nts. The spiritual Qi here was always rich, and there were naturally many good things in the mountains. However, he didn''t have the mood to pick them and continued to walk upwards.


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing approached the main hall of the sect, and then he was stunned. The entire main hall had beenpletely destroyed, and there were piles of bodies lying on the ground, scattered in all directions. Many of them were unrecognizable, looking very tragic.


    "Did they break in?"


    Mi Xiaojing muttered to himself, then asked Wang Weijun.


    "Old man, the main hall has been breached. Should we still go in?"


    "Let''s see first. If there''s no one, we''ll go in!"


    Mi Xiaojing sneaked around like a thief. There were still sounds of battle in the distance, but it was eerily quiet here. The pungent smell of blood hit his face, and the air was filled with the smell of rust, mixed with a strong burnt smell.


    Some wood was still burning, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were no living people around, only bodies on the ground, most of which were members of the sect. Among them, he saw two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Heart Sect. Their Golden Elixirs had been taken away, and they looked extremely miserable withrge wounds on their chests and abdomens, blood flowing everywhere.


    Mi Xiaojing was observant. He noticed that apart from their clothes, these cultivators had nothing else on their bodies. He didn''t know who had taken their belongings. It could have been rogue cultivators outside, or it could have been people from their own sect.


    The defense of the main hall had beenpletely destroyed. There was no barrier, and Mi Xiaojing walked in.


    The journey was very calm because the internal prohibitions had not beenpletely broken, and some residual prohibitions blocked the noise from outside.


    Mi Xiaojing was not very familiar with this ce, but he had been here two or three times. He saw that the prohibition on a small path had been forcibly broken.


    Crack!


    A crisp sound came from not far away, and Mi Xiaojing immediately felt his hair stand on end. This was not a good ce to fight. Anyone who dared to enter here must be at least a Foundation Establishment expert.


    Regardless of whether this person was a cultivator of the Heart Sect or not, they would not be friendly to Mi Xiaojing. Those who dared to stay here at this time were basically people coveting the treasures of the sect, just like Mi Xiaojing.


    Moreover, there were many residual prohibitions around, which would affect the performance of escape talismans. Therefore, the option to escape was limited here.


    This was Mi Xiaojing''s first time acting like a thief, and he was extremely nervous. If it weren''t for Wang Weijun''s instigation, he definitely wouldn''t havee here. So, every little noise made his heart race, and he quickly dodged to the side.


    Wang Weijunughed, "Kid, this is the Heart Sect. It''s normal for you to be here. The one who should be afraid is the other party. Why are you so nervous?"


    "Ah? Right, why am I nervous?"


    As Mi Xiaojing spoke, he still looked around nervously. He was naturally not cut out for this.


    There was a half-copsed wooden building nearby, and Mi Xiaojing immediately hid inside. Before he could hide properly, he saw a shadow sh by, which scared him so much that his hair stood on end.


    Then, he saw a person emerge.


    The person was also startled when he saw Mi Xiaojing. It was clear that the person was a rogue cultivator, and only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. However, the person quickly recovered and a look of joy appeared on his face.


    He was unfamiliar with this ce and had been wanting to capture a cultivator from the Heart Sect to guide him. He didn''t expect his wish toe true when Mi Xiaojing appeared before him.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If a Golden Elixir cultivator hade, it would have been troublesome for him. But a Foundation Establishment cultivator? He was naturally confident. Although he was a rogue cultivator and didn''t have any powerful weapons, the gap in cultivation level was there. Dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a piece of cake, right?


    Mi Xiaojing''s True Word Thunder Sword was already floating in the air. At the same time, he secretly observed the Poison Lotus surrounding his Heart Tower. Of the four Poison Lotuses, only one was intact and could be used immediately. The other three had not recovered yet.


    Under Wang Weijun''s careful guidance, Mi Xiaojing had be very proficient inbat. Before a fight, he would first assess the situation, then examine his own cultivation level and weapons. If there was a chance, he would fight. If not, he would stall and take the opportunity to escape.


    Now, what Mi Xiaojing relied on was not his cultivation level, but the various treasures he had collected during his time in the Heart Sect. After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing felt that he could fight. After all, the opponent was only a rogue cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The rogue cultivator on the other side didn''t make a move, and he didn''t even take out his weapon. In his eyes, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, who wasn''t even at the Great Perfection stage, was not worth his attention.


    The man reached out his hand and beckoned.


    "Hey, are you from the Heart Sect? Come here,e here!"


    Mi Xiaojing was on high alert, his fingers already curled up. If there was any movement, a Poison Lotus would attack. This was one of his trump cards.The True Word Thunder Sword was also pulsating with arcs of light, ready to strike at any moment.


    The manughed, "Little guy, don''t be so tense. I''m not even preparing to make a move. Besides, if we really start fighting, you''re no match for me."


    Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment and immediately understood the other party''s meaning. This guy was also worried that a fight would attract the attention of the Heart Sect cultivators nearby. The cultivators who dared to stay in this vicinity almost all had cultivation levels above the Foundation Establishment stage. As a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he would be no match for anyone. He too had sneaked in here.


    "Just stand there!"


    Mi Xiaojing said, taking a step back at the same time.

 Chapter 223: Confrontation

    <h4>Chapter 223: Confrontation</h4>


    This was a middle-aged man who looked like a poor old farmer, without any trace of a cultivator''s aura.


    His face was deeply wrinkled, weather-beaten, and his clothes were unremarkable. He wore a simple cloth robe, with a white jade ring chain tied around his waist. It was clearly a magical tool, with a storage bag and arge purple-red gourd hanging from it.


    His name was Lu Cheng, a nameless figure among the rogue cultivators. His lineage did note from any cultivation sect. He had a master who was a rogue cultivator in thete stage of Foundation Establishment. After being seriously injured and on the verge of death, he took Lu Cheng as his disciple, passing on his mantle. Eventually, after Lu Cheng''s Foundation Establishment, his master passed away.


    Lu Cheng adhered to the principle of diligent cultivation and low-profile living. He never offended others lightly, nor did he underestimate anyone, which saved him a lot of trouble.


    However, because of this, his cultivation resources were extremely scarce, which was why he participated in the sect war. He was simply too poor.


    Regardless, as long as he was careful in the Heart Sect, he could always snatch something. This temptation made him lose his calm, and he became bold, hiding directly under the main peak. Seeing someone break into the main hall, he hesitated before sneaking in. He didn''t expect that there were still so many restrictions left here, preventing him from finding anything.


    Themotion caused by Mi Xiaojing just now really scared him. However, the result made him overjoyed. A Foundation Establishment junior from the Heart Sect appeared, which was a great gift. He felt that his luck was really good.


    Lu Cheng had no intention of making a move. It was too dangerous to do so here. The peopleing and going were all experts. If he rmed anyone, it would be more than he could handle. He was here to seek wealth and resources, not to kill. He had no grudge against the Heart Sect.


    Since he was unwilling to make a move, he could only negotiate with this little guy. Maybe there would be some gains!


    "Don''t be nervous, don''t be nervous. You can put your sword away. Haha, I''m a person who likes to make friends... How about it? Let''s be friends..."


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. What did this man want to do? We were in a hostile situation. Be friends? Was he joking?


    Lu Cheng looked at Mi Xiaojing and couldn''t help butugh. The boy''s expression clearly showed that he was scared by him. Little did he know, Mi Xiaojing was not scared, but confused by his strange words.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing felt that this man was just talking nonsense, and he was doing it very seriously. This was the first time he had met such a person.


    Lu Cheng stood still, no longer approaching.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you... I just want to make a friend, rx... Hehe."


    Mi Xiaojing knew very well that there was no such thing as unprovoked love or hatred in this world. This man was polite in his words, so he must have a request. As for the talk about making friends, it was just talk and couldn''t be taken seriously.


    "Stay away from me!"


    Mi Xiaojing clearly had no intention of getting close, which left Lu Cheng stunned. He didn''t expect that although Mi Xiaojing was a child, he was so cautious that he didn''t care about the goodwill in his words at all.


    Lu Cheng''s face changed instantly. He said, "Kid, how dare you talk to your senior like this?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "How else should I talk to you?" As he spoke, he retreated, looking ready to strike at any moment.


    Lu Cheng was genuinely worried about rming others. Whether it was the people from the Heart Sect or other rogue cultivators, he was wary of them. He forced a smile on his face again, "You kid... Alright, alright, I just want to ask a few questions. After that, we''ll go our separate ways... Is that okay?"


    Mi Xiaojing continued to retreat. He didn''t want tomunicate with Lu Cheng at all. This guy obviously wanted to know the location of the treasury.


    "Stop! If you keep going... I, I will attack!"


    Mi Xiaojing stopped, saying, "You attack? Try it!" He knew in his heart that Lu Cheng was just trying to intimidate him. He wouldn''t dare to attack.


    Lu Cheng took a deep breath. A mere sect disciple was proving to be so troublesome, and a killing intent surged in his heart.


    Wang Weijun was very sensitive. He said, "This guy has a killing intent now..."


    Mi Xiaojing retreated again, his fingers already curled up, ready to release the Poison Lotus at any moment. In fact, he didn''t want to fight either. He only had one Poison Lotus left, and using the Green Wood Array would consume too many Spirit Stones. So he was just on guard, trying to retreat as far as possible.


    Lu Cheng was in a dilemma. To attack, or not to attack?


    If he attacked, he knew he would definitely rm others. But if he didn''t, he couldn''t bear to let Mi Xiaojing go. It was a pity not to take advantage of such a soft persimmon. Moreover, he was sure that the boy had something he wanted. After all, a sect cultivator was definitely richer than a rogue cultivator.


    Seeing that Mi Xiaojing was about to escape, Lu Cheng became anxious.


    "Stop!"


    As soon as his words fell, Mi Xiaojing had already disappeared, vanishing in an instant. Lu Cheng was dumbfounded. Teleportation? He immediately realized that Mi Xiaojing must have a teleportation talisman. Teleportation was a technique only Elemental Infant cultivators could use, so even a talisman that could teleport a short distance was an invaluable weapon.


    He didn''t expect to see a teleportation talisman on a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Lu Cheng''s eyes instantly turned red with greed. Chase! How could he let go of such a good thing?


    Lu Cheng knew that there were many remaining restrictions here. Even if Mi Xiaojing teleported, he couldn''t have gone far. He immediately chased after him. He saw a figure flicker and disappear around a corner ahead. He immediately chased after it. He couldn''t fly here, nor could he take off. He could only rely on his legs to chase.


    Mi Xiaojing was also running. The direction he was running in was the treasury. There was nowhere else to go.


    He was not familiar with the headquarters behind the main hall of the sect. The only ces he knew well were two. One was the ce where he had closed upst time, which was now meaningless to go to. The other was the treasury, which he had visited not long ago and still had a deep impression of.


    He ran all the way.


    If Lu Cheng went all out, he could indeed catch up with Mi Xiaojing. But as he chased, he changed his mind. He felt that Mi Xiaojing would lead him to a good ce. There was no reason, just a hunch.In a moment, he saw Mi Xiaojing stop at a ce. He ran very fast and arrived near Mi Xiaojing in a few breaths. Strangely, Mi Xiaojing only nced at him and then ignored him, which aroused his curiosity.


    Lu Cheng took another two steps, and then he was overjoyed because he saw a teleportation array. This teleportation array was easy to identify, it was a very short-distance teleportation array, which meant that it might be connected to a secret ce in the Heart Sect, and it might even be the treasury!


    "Where... does this lead to?"


    Lu Cheng''s voice began to tremble. For the first time, he saw the hope of making a fortune.


    "Heart Sect, treasury!"

 Chapter 224: Re-enter the treasure trove

    <h4>Chapter 224: Re-enter the treasure trove</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t hide anything. He knew the risks below, and the Mysterious Heaven Formation was not to be underestimated.


    Without Wang Weijun''s help, Mi Xiaojing would never dare to go down. The formation there was not something he could resist. Going down meant one thing: death! There was no luck involved, even if he had many treasures, they would be useless.


    However, with Wang Weijun, it was apletely different story. He understood the Mysterious Heaven Formation, let alone the smaller version of it. The reason it was called the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation was because it was derived from the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Having witnessed the magical techniques and incantations of the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, others might not see the clues, but Wang Weijun could understand. Compared with the Mysterious Heaven Formation in his memory, he couldn''t im to understand it 100%, but at least it was almost impossible for the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation to trap Mi Xiaojing.


    Lu Cheng''s face turned red, even his eyes were red. The hardship of a rogue cultivator was something that a sect disciple could never understand. They were poor and had nothing, they had to fight for everything, steal, deceive, and even risk their lives.


    Seeing a sect''s treasure vault right in front of him, how could Lu Cheng not be excited, how could he not be greedy?


    There were indeed wealthy cultivators among the rogue cultivators, but they were a minority. Most of them became rogue cultivators after failing in the sect struggles.


    These people had already umted arge amount of resources. Even among the rogue cultivators, they were top-tier existences, often experts, with at least an Elemental Infant cultivation level.


    As for the vast majority of rogue cultivators, they were truly poor and miserable. Lu Cheng was such a person. It was already very difficult for him to cultivate to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. To progress further was extremely difficult. Without an extra source of Spirit Stones, it was almost impossible to advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The opportunity to enter the Heart Sect''s treasure vault hadpletely robbed Lu Cheng of his sanity.


    "Take me in, and I''ll give you 10% of the benefits!"


    Mi Xiaojing almostughed out loud. How stingy this guy must be! But he didn''t mind taking one more person in, especially since this person had threatened him.


    Lu Cheng hadn''t realized that it wasn''t just a treasure vault below, but also a dangerous ce. Even a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage would be flustered once they entered the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation, let alone a small cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.


    "Do you want to go to the treasure vault?"


    Mi Xiaojing decided to tease him first. This guy had been hypocritical from the start, and Mi Xiaojing didn''t like him.


    Lu Cheng had long lost interest in chasing after Mi Xiaojing. All his thoughts were on the teleportation formation. However, he didn''t have the magical technique to enter it. If no one led him, he couldn''t get in.


    At this point, any cultivator with a bit of insight could understand that the ce connected by this teleportation formation must be inside the mountain. Apart from here, there should be no other way in.


    Now, Mi Xiaojing was like a key. Without him, even if Lu Cheng was standing at the door of the treasure vault, he would still be helpless. This was also the reason for his change in attitude towards Mi Xiaojing.


    With a smile on his old face like a blooming chrysanthemum, Lu Cheng said, "I''ll go, go! To the treasure vault!" He was almost incoherent.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "If you want to go to the treasure vault, you can. Just pay some Spirit Stones."


    Lu Cheng''s smile froze on his face. Mi Xiaojing found it amusing. This idea was interesting. Although he didn''te up with it, the effect was excellent. Seeing Lu Cheng''s bitter expression, he knew that this guy must be in a bad mood.


    Suddenly, Lu Chengughed again. He said, "You can''t not take me. Haha!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "Why?"


    Lu Cheng said, "It''s simple. I won''t block you. You can go in. But as soon as you go in, I''ll destroy the teleportation formation. Either you take me with you, or wait for me to destroy the teleportation formation. How to choose, you decide. Hahaha."


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. He quickly realized that this guy was right. If he destroyed the teleportation formation, then the people who went down wouldn''t be able toe up.


    Wang Weijun sneered, "This fool, he actually thinks he can destroy this teleportation formation. He''s dreaming! This is the Mirror Ancient Teleportation Formation, the best short-distance teleportation formation. Unless he destroys the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation below, he can''t shake this teleportation formation here. Even a Divided Spirit stage expert can''t do anything!"


    This was not Lu Cheng bluffing. With his knowledge, he really thought he could destroy this teleportation formation. If it were an Elemental Infant stage cultivator, they probably wouldn''t say such a thing. One look and they would know they couldn''t destroy it. This was the difference in knowledge.


    Lu Cheng looked smug.


    Mi Xiaojing alsoughed. He said, "Do you really want to go down? Don''t worry, I''ll take you with me. Hehe."


    With a dryugh, Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "Since you''re courting death, let''s let you see what the Small Mysterious Heaven Formation is. If you freeze to death, don''t me me. You''re asking for it."Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng became excited. He said, "Good, very good, it''s settled!" However, he was thinking that the treasury must be apletely enclosed environment. Once they entered, whether to kill this little guy or not would be a matter of his own thoughts. Thinking about this, he was overjoyed. He felt that all the luck of his life was here.


    Wang Weijun sneered, "Such a fool who doesn''t even know how he will die!"


    Mi Xiaojing stood on the teleportation formation, and Lu Cheng quickly jumped on it. The teleportation formation was notrge, and could only teleport eight people at a time. The two of them each stood in a corner, with Mi Xiaojing still on guard.


    Lu Cheng was much more rxed. He felt that he had Mi Xiaojing under control, so he seemed very rxed and excited. He had never entered the sect''s treasury in his life, and this time he was going to have an eye-opening experience!


    Mi Xiaojing performed a magical technique. This magical technique was observed and summarized by Wang Weijun when the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden activated the teleportation formationst time, and then taught to Mi Xiaojing.


    This action caught Lu Cheng''s eye, and he suddenly realized that this kid was not right. He could actually activate the magical technique of the sect''s treasury. This was the most core magical technique of a sect.


    This indicated a problem. This kid was very likely a direct disciple of the highest level of the sect, and he must have many treasures on him!


    This was the second thought that shed through Lu Cheng''s mind. At this time, the teleportation had already begun, and the two disappeared from the teleportation tform in an instant.


    The moment Mi Xiaojingnded, he activated the escape talisman without hesitation and instantly entered the Mysterious Heaven Formation. He had obtained a magical technique that could make the Mysterious Heaven Formation recognize him. In other words, whether the formation was activated or not, the Mysterious Heaven Formation would not attack him. The function of this magical technique was to make the Mysterious Heaven Formation ignore him.


    Lu Cheng steadied his body, and the moment his feet touched the ground, the third thought appeared in his mind: "Catch this kid!"

 Chapter 225: Deep into the core

    <h4>Chapter 225: Deep into the core</h4>


    When Lu Cheng finally made sense of his surroundings, he suddenly realized that Mi Xiaojing was gone!


    The surrounding white fog was dense, and a bone-chilling cold followed. Even as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn''t help but shiver.


    The most crucial question was, where was the treasure vault?


    Lu Cheng was on the verge of going mad, muttering incessantly, "The treasure vault... the treasure vault... where is the treasure vault? Where the hell is the treasure vault!"


    He wanted to find Mi Xiaojing and ask him, but Mi Xiaojing was nowhere to be found. Lu Cheng finally realized that the little guy had known about the situation here all along, had dug a big hole, and let himself jump into it. What was ridiculous was that he even said he would share a tenth of the benefits.


    Lu Cheng couldn''t help but grind his teeth, "If I ever see you again, I will definitely kill you!"


    As he thought, he took a step forward. After just three steps, he sessfully triggered the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing was already deep within the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Following Wang Weijun''s instructions, he quickly found a safe spot andpletely avoided the fluctuations of the formation by casting a magical technique.


    ording to Wang Weijun, he should stay here honestly for now. He needed time to carefully observe the operation of the formation.


    To make the Mysterious Heaven Formation operate, someone must trigger the formation. Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were not worried about this problem. Both of them knew very well that with Lu Cheng''s knowledge, he would definitely trigger the Mysterious Heaven Formation because he couldn''t tell what kind of formation it was and wouldn''t stand still. As long as he moved, the formation would definitely start.


    Sure enough, not long after Mi Xiaojing had stabilized himself, a corner of the Mysterious Heaven Formation started to operate.


    The Mysterious Heaven Formation, although it has a "small" in its name, is not small in size. Compared to the real Mysterious Heaven Formation, it is not small in size, but in power.


    Of course, this power ispared to the Mysterious Heaven Formation. From Mi Xiaojing''s current knowledge, the power of this formation is not small either. Even a master at the Elemental Infant stage would have a lot of trouble if they fell into it.


    As a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Cheng''s problem was not just trouble, but a matter of life and death. In just a few seconds, he had already started to shiver. This kind of bone-chilling cold was not something he could resist.


    His Golden Elixir was churning, and the jade string tied around his waist was also emitting white light. This was a defensive magical artifact. In an instant, it isted the outside cold.


    Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and foolishly continued to move forward. There was no way, as a rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, how much knowledge could you expect him to have? His understanding of formations was even less than Mi Xiaojing''s. Lu Cheng had no idea that he was in such danger.


    However, he still instinctively felt the crisis, which is why he made the second mistake. He thought that as long as he rushed out quickly, maybe he would be fine.


    This rush startled the entire Mysterious Heaven Formation. If he had walked slowly, only a corner would have been triggered, and he might have been able to resist for a while. But this rapid advance triggered the entire formation!


    Mi Xiaojing remembered that when they first entered, even the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was very careful, trying not to trigger the formation. But this guy, as soon as he came in, made such a big noise.


    "Ignorance is bliss!"


    Wang Weijun sighed. With his level of knowledge, he had already noticed that the entire Mysterious Heaven Formation had started to operate. He reminded, "You remember the magical techniques and incantations I taught you, right?"


    "I remember, and I''ve practiced them. I should be proficient... I shouldn''t make a mistake."


    Mi Xiaojing kept casting magical techniques to conceal his presence. In this way, the attack of the Mysterious Heaven Formation wouldpletely ignore him. However, the surrounding cold still existed. Mi Xiaojing had a thought, and the true words on the substitute doll swelled up, blocking this extreme cold outside.


    Mi Xiaojing was not clear about the power of the mysterious energy, but the coldness of the mysterious energy shocked him. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had many methods, especially thebination of true words and cultivation techniques, which was incredibly magical. It was easy to block the cold.


    The attack of the Mysterious Heaven Formation was not just a cold killer. Lu Cheng had tasted it. The attack of this Mysterious Heaven Formation was extremely exquisite, not wasting any energy. The attack was just right, just enough to make Lu Cheng unable to bear it.


    If Lu Cheng and a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage had entered at the same time, he would have been finished long ago.


    Lu Cheng knew he was in trouble. With every step he took, the power of the cold would rise a little. His whole body began to stiffen, and even the fire of his Golden Elixir was of no use. The bone-chilling cold prated into his body, and his teeth couldn''t help but chatter.


    This kind of ancient formation always attacked subtly. By the time Lu Cheng realized he couldn''t move, it was already toote. He stood still in the formation, his body stiff, his Golden Elixir dim, his breath weak, and he was on the verge of copse.


    The power of the formation gradually weakened. If no one saved him, he would slowly die in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, and his soul would not be able to escape, trapped in his stiff body.


    Mi Xiaojing had been silently observing. Seeing this result, he was truly terrified. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had silently died in the formation!


    In fact, Lu Cheng was notpletely dead yet. He was in a state of apparent death. But if this went on for a long time, he would really be a frozen corpse.


    After a moment, Mi Xiaojing cast a magical technique, and a winding path opened up in front of him, surrounded by rolling extreme cold fog.Mi Xiaojing cautiously moved forward, and soon he saw several ice pirs. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was deep within the formation. The Magical Technique and Incantation given by Wang Weijun were very effective.


    Wang Weijun said, "Stay by the ice pirs for a while, then cast the other two Magical Techniques. I want to test this Mysterious Heaven Formation."


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback and asked, "Test?"


    "Yes, test it. Only by testing can I understand more. This Mysterious Heaven Formation is considered an Ancient Formation, although it has been simplified a lot. Ancient Formations often have many variations. Only after testing can I know the secrets of this Ancient Formation and dig out valuable things from it."


    Wang Weijun provided the Magical Techniques and Incantations for the test. Mi Xiaojing familiarized himself with them for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. Shall we start now?"


    "Let''s start!"


    Wang Weijun watched with full concentration. He had always felt that this Mysterious Heaven Formation held a secret. After this test, he should be able to figure out what the secret was.


    Of course, even if he didn''tpletely understand, it didn''t matter. At the very least, he could find some clues. He had many methods to track and find these secrets.


    The reason Wang Weijun was so confident was because he had explored many ruins that others had already excavated using this ability, and had gained a lot of benefits from them.


    He had a very deep understanding of Ancient Formations.

 Chapter 226: Met again

    <h4>Chapter 226: Met again</h4>


    The magical techniques and incantations for testing were divided into nine groups, but Wang Weijun didn''t teach them all. He only gave two groups of testing methods, specifically for the current formation.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t mind, as long as he had something to use. He had no idea how precious these testing magical techniques and incantations were.


    Whates easily is not cherished. How would Mi Xiaojing know that these nine groups of magical techniques and incantations were secrets not to be shared in the Cultivation World, and couldn''t be exchanged even with Spirit Stones.


    After executing two groups of testing methods, therge formation began to change rapidly. Only then did Mi Xiaojing realize that this ancient formation had nine ice pirs, all moving with the formation.


    Wang Weijun was busy calcting. He didn''t teach Mi Xiaojing these calctions, butpleted them alone. As the testing unfolded, he began to understand the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Through the testing, Mi Xiaojing could sense the operation of the entire ancient formation, but he only saw the surface and couldn''t deeply understand the formation or its changes. What shocked him was the power of this ancient formation, which was truly formidable.


    He knew clearly that without Wang Weijun''s help, he should stay as far away from this kind of ancient formation as possible. It was too terrifying to provoke!


    With Mi Xiaojing''s strength, there was almost no chance of survival if he entered. Unless he had a real life-saving puppet, he might blindly try. The result was obvious, consuming the life-saving puppet and escaping from the ancient formation. There wouldn''t be another oue.


    When Wang Weijun figured out the situation, he said, "Alright, no need to continue testing. I have found the secret..."


    Actually, Wang Weijun was also shocked. The area covered by this ancient formation not only had secrets, but also three hidden ces.


    One of them was the location of the treasure house, another was a secret room, and thest was the extremely hidden formation eye of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. It was a ce wrapped in mysterious energy, moving with the operation of the formation. No wonder the experts of the Heart Sect couldn''t break it.


    There must be treasures in this formation eye!


    Suddenly, the Mysterious Heaven Formation started operating again. Mi Xiaojing was startled, "I didn''t activate it... Eh, someone''sing in!" He quickly executed a hiding magical technique while talking to Wang Weijun.


    He slowly moved closer to an ice pir. There was a position here that could control therge formation. This was an auxiliary position of therge formation, just like the mountain-protecting sword formation of the Heart Sect. The Mysterious Heaven Formation was also controble, which was the result of the previous testing.


    From this position, he could not only see the changes in the ancient formation but also the people who broke into the formation. If necessary, Mi Xiaojing could even drive the ancient formation to attack.


    The one who came in was the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, followed by Thousand Poisons. It was clear that the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had lost, and lost quite miserably. She stumbled in, with Thousand Poisons slightly behind. The two appeared one after the other in the teleportation formation.


    Thousand Poisons was very cautious. As soon as he entered, his red robe emitted dazzling golden light. Real spirit scripts emerged from the robe, instantly setting up a defense on his body surface.


    .


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden rushed towards the Mysterious Heaven Formation, executing magical techniques. A path quickly appeared in front of her. As she moved forward, the ancient formation began to operate. This was her method to block the pursuers.


    Mi Xiaojing was secretly surprised.


    "She lost too!"


    "Nonsense, it''s hard not to lose when fighting against an Evolutionary Immortal of the same realm! An Evolutionary Immortal like Thousand Poisons is already a powerful figure in the Cultivation World."


    Thousand Poisons was smart. He didn''t continue to chase, but stood at the entrance of the teleportation formation. No matter how the Mysterious Heaven Formation changed, it wouldn''t affect this position.


    Of course, this position was not absolutely safe. Once someone teleported in from outside, they would immediately appear next to him. If it was apanion, it would be fine. If it was someone from the Heart Sect, a face-to-face battle might ur.


    At first, Thousand Poisons looked rxed. But when he saw the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Formation, he became serious. At the same time, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes. He also found out that this ce must be very important to the Heart Sect.


    Suddenly, the teleportation formation flickered. A huge force directly pushed Thousand Poisons off the tform.


    Thousand Poisons was calm and showed no panic. He had experienced simr situations many times. Hended on the edge of the tform without touching the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Even Wang Weijun couldn''t help but praise, "This guy is impressive!"


    Thousand Poisons stared at the teleportation tform, a bowl appearing in his hand. Mi Xiaojing recognized it at a nce. It was the treasure that had almost killed Mu Hengyuan, the Poison Lotus.


    In an instant, a golden lotus appeared under Thousand Poisons'' feet. He didn''t move, just stared at the teleportation tform. If it was an enemy, he would attack without hesitation.


    A huge head popped out first, making Thousand Poisonsugh.


    Big Head Zheng, he immediately saw the fully alert Thousand Poisons and couldn''t help but shout, "You run pretty fast, discovering this ce earlier than me. So, did you get any good stuff?"


    Thousand Poisons sneered, "Good stuff? There definitely is. But we have to get through this ancient formation first! I can''t figure out what this formation is for now, but given some time, I''ll figure it out."


    Big Head Zheng came out of the teleportation tform. He was also cautious, not rushing into the ancient formation. Like Thousand Poisons, he stood on the edge of the teleportation tform. This was a good ce to observe the ancient formation.The Ancient Formation had been activated. However, it was merely activated and had not trulye into effect. This was because the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had already delved deep into it, while Lu Cheng waspletely rigid. Although he was not dead for the moment, the Ancient Formation had already deemed him as a dead man.


    As long as there was no movement, the Ancient Formation would not strangle him. Of course, if someone truly triggered the Ancient Formation, its power would instantly turn him into dust, leaving nothing behind.


    Da Tou Zheng and Thousand Poisons had no intention of rushing into the Ancient Formation. With their cautious attitude, they would absolutely not rush in foolishly before understanding the situation. Both of them had been struggling in the Cultivation World for many years, so they still had this level of vignce, rationality, andmon sense.


    If they could not recognize this Ancient Formation, if they were not confident in controlling it, they would rather temporarily give up this opportunity than force their way in. Everyone knew the abnormality of the Ancient Formation. Once trapped in it, it would be a matter of life and death. No matter how precious the treasure was, it was not worth their own lives. Both of them had a very clear understanding of this.

 Chapter 227: Stalemate

    <h4>Chapter 227: Stalemate</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the two men in surprise and asked Wang Weijun, "Why aren''t theying in?"


    Wang Weijun replied, "They won''te in until they understand the principles of the formation. Yes, this is the correct way to handle it. If they just barged in, I would have to question how they advanced to the Elemental Infant stage. They should have died long ago."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t expect Wang Weijun to evaluate it this way: "So, noting in is the right thing to do? That''s true, if they don''t understand the ancient formation,ing in is indeed seeking death."


    He also understood that this was indeed the best choice. There was no need for either of them to take risks. As long as they guarded the ancient formation, they would eventually find a way to break it. This was much wiser than blindly rushing in.


    Wang Weijun said, "Remember, when you''re exploring in the wild and encounter a simr ancient formation, never rush in immediately. First, retreat, then try to trigger the formation, like catching a cultivator and throwing them in. This way, you can see the reaction of the ancient formation. This is the easiest way to identify an ancient formation. If you still can''t figure it out, it''s best to ignore it for the time being. Preserving your life is the most important thing."


    Mi Xiaojing replied, "Yes, I understand. I can''t rush into the formation recklessly. I can only go in when I''m sure."


    As the two continued to observe, the teleportation formation lit up again.


    In an instant, a figure appeared on the teleportation formation.


    It was Elder Yu Hong!


    Da Tou Zheng and Thousand Poisonsunched their attacks simultaneously. However, the first attack was too fast and was blocked by the teleportation formation. The two couldn''t help but curse inwardly. They had forgotten that the teleportation formation was almost immune to attacks at the moment of activation.


    Before their attacks ended, theyunched a second attack.


    By this time, Yu Hong was prepared. He roared, and his spirit sword instantly protected his body. With a loud bang, he was sent flying by this force and crashed into the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Even if Yu Hong was ate-stage Elemental Infant expert, he couldn''t withstand this attack. Da Tou Zheng was also ate-stage Elemental Infant, and Thousand Poisons was even capable of fighting against a Great Perfection Elemental Infant without falling behind. When the two teamed up, Yu Hong naturally suffered.


    Fortunately, this was at the edge of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Yu Hong was knocked into the Mysterious Heaven Formation and disappeared into the ancient formation in an instant.


    The Mysterious Heaven Formation had been controlled by the Heart Sect for many years, so Yu Hong was very familiar with it. Naturally, he wouldn''t be attacked by the ancient formation. Afternding, he quickly cast several magical techniques and an incantation. Immediately, the attack that the ancient formation was brewing subsided.


    However, Yu Hong was still slightly injured from the previous attack. He swallowed a Spirit Pill and quickly retreated towards the treasury.


    Da Tou Zheng was a bit disappointed. He said, "If it weren''t for this ancient formation, that guy would be dead!"


    Thousand Poisons retorted, "Nonsense!"


    Da Tou Zheng was furious. He turned around abruptly and red at Thousand Poisons, "What do you mean by nonsense!"


    Thousand Poisons didn''t care and said, "It is nonsense. If it weren''t for this ancient formation, what the hell would we be waiting for here? We would have rushed in long ago!"


    Da Tou Zheng was choked by Thousand Poisons'' words and didn''t know how to respond. If his strength was stronger than Thousand Poisons'', he might have been able to argue, but he knew that his strength was indeed inferior to Thousand Poisons''.


    This time, he realized how formidable Thousand Poisons was. In several battles, the opponent fought leisurely, with tactics that were ever-changing and unpredictable. He had reminded himself to be careful of this guy, and he was already wary in his heart.


    Mi Xiaojing also began to feel uneasy. He was now in a dilemma, unable to leave or join Yu Hong. The only good thing was that he was standing in a rtively safe ce. As long as he stayed still, there would be no danger for the time being.


    From this position, he could clearly see the mysteries of the ancient formation''s operation. Mi Xiaojing was still a bit confused, but Wang Weijun had gained a lot. He began to truly understand the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Formation and was looking for the corresponding magical techniques and incantations.


    Once he found the corresponding magical techniques and incantations, he would know how to control thisrge formation. At the very least, he could avoid the attacks of the ancient formation.


    When Yu Hong rushed through the ancient formation, he saw the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden at a nce. He asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden shook her head slightly and said coldly, "I''m fine. With the ancient formation blocking them, they absolutely can''t get through unless they break the formation!"


    Yu Hong gave a bitter smile and said, "I''m not afraid of the others, but this Thousand Poisons is too difficult to deal with. He''s even more troublesome than Xu Zhongqing. My junior brother Mu almost got killed by him. If it weren''t for someone who cured the poison, my junior brother Mu would have beenpletely finished."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden didn''t know about this. She was stunned when she heard this and said, "What?"


    Yu Hong said, "It''s Thousand Poisons'' method. Thebination of Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation is truly unpredictable. If you encounter him in the future, be as careful as possible. Avoid him if you can."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden took a deep breath and asked, "Who saved him?"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was quite shocked. She and Mu Hengyuan were both mid-stage Elemental Infants, and their strengths were not much different. If Mu Hengyuan was almost killed, then she wouldn''t be able to win if she fought.


    Yu Hong said, "It was Mi Xiaojing. The kid still has the ability of Evolutionary Immortality. He neutralized the poison on Junior Brother Mu''s body. As for the injury, it''s not important. A Spirit Pill can cure it."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was dumbfounded, "Ah? That alchemy kid, he can actually neutralize Thousand Poisons'' poison! That''s incredible!"


    Yu Hong said, "Yes, I didn''t expect it either. This kid has contributed a lot to the sect."


    Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing didn''t hear this. If he had, he would probably feel very upset. He never thought about helping the Heart Sect, but what he did actually helped the sect.

    Speaking of which, he had no choice in these matters. These were all necessary processes for his growth.


    After observing for about ten minutes, Thousand Poisons said, "This ancient formation seems to be the Mysterious Heaven Formation? But it''s quite different from the Mysterious Heaven Formation. I can''t fully distinguish it."Zheng Datou was far less knowledgeable in this area. He couldn''t even recognize the shadow of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. However, he did know a bit about what the Mysterious Heaven Formation was. He said, "Stop joking around. How could this possibly be the Mysterious Heaven Formation? Isn''t that an ancient formation? Wait a minute, if this really is the Mysterious Heaven Formation, doesn''t that mean this formation isn''t from the Heart Sect?"


    Thousand Poisons'' eyes also lit up. He couldn''t help but p his hands and said, "Haha, that''s right. The Heart Sect couldn''t possibly set up such an ancient formation. This means that this ce could very likely be a relic!"


    Every cultivator understood what a relic meant. To a cultivator, it was like a drug addict encountering a high-quality drug, possessing a deadly temptation.


    No cultivator would ever give up on a relic. Even if it meant risking their lives, the relic was worth the risk. To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation. 161011090317

 Chapter 228: Each prepare

    <h4>Chapter 228: Each prepare</h4>


    A relic represented the true treasure, the ancient heritage. Once obtained, one''s strength would elerate in growth.


    Thousand Poisons was excited, and Zheng Tong was even more thrilled.


    Their original n was clear. If the formation was dangerous and hard to break, they would not hesitate to leave. They were here to rob and reap benefits. The treasury of the Heart Sect was not worth risking their lives for.


    But now, things werepletely different. For cultivators at their level, the appearance of a relic was absolutely worth a fight!


    Thousand Poisons and Zheng Tong looked at each other, both showing a determined look. Although they were not exactly friends, they both understood that it was almost impossible to break the formation with just their power. They needed to go back and bring reinforcements. Only by gathering the strength of many could they possibly break the formation.


    So, Thousand Poisons blurted out, "You go, or should I?"


    This ce was a long-term stronghold of the Heart Sect. All the conspicuous treasures had been taken. If they wanted to find any overlooked treasures, they had to work together. Otherwise, there was no hope. Thousand Poisons was self-aware. Even with his Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant realm, he couldn''t swallow it alone.


    Zheng Tong said, "I''ll go!" As someone of a simr realm, he naturally understood Thousand Poisons'' meaning. It was too difficult for two people to break the formation. If they wanted to get the treasures inside, they could only continue to find people.


    "Good, I''ll guard here!"


    Thousand Poisons knew that he could only guard here. Otherwise, if Yu Hong and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden came out, Zheng Tong wouldn''t be able to resist them.


    Zheng Tong immediately stepped onto the teleportation formation and disappeared in an instant, returning to the surface.


    Thousand Poisons held his bowl, with the Poison Lotus undting in the bowl but notunching an attack. Both Yu Hong and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden were wary of it. After all, Mu Hengyuan was almost killed by it.


    They didn''t n to fight him for the time being, they just wanted to passively let the other party break the formation.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at Thousand Poisons. This man was indeed powerful, guarding the teleportation formation alone and suppressing the two Elemental Infant realm experts of the Heart Sect.


    "Old man, why is Thousand Poisons so powerful?"


    Wang Weijunzily said, "It''s not that he''s powerful, but his methods are tricky. The Heart Sect bunch doesn''t dare to fight him. Haha, a bunch of fools, idiots, cowards..."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "It''s not that bad, they''re not as bad as you say... After all, they are Elemental Infant realm experts, they must have some strength."


    "Bullshit... The Elemental Infant realm is indeed a threshold, but can the Elemental Infant realm of a sect bepared with that of a rogue cultivator? One is wild and the other is domesticated. If it weren''t for the wealth of the sect cultivators and their abundance of treasures, they couldn''tpare with rogue cultivators."


    "Every rogue cultivator who can cultivate to the Elemental Infant realm is not easy to deal with. They are all people who have rolled between life and death, each one of them is a cunning person!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to say. He had long seen that Wang Weijun looked down on the people of the Heart Sect.


    Wang Weijun had the right to say this. He was an old fox in the Cultivation World. Unfortunately, he was crushed by an absolute powerhouse and fell into such a situation.


    The Cultivation World was truly cruel. Even if one was cunning and had powerful weapons, they would still be crushed by absolute power. This was why all cultivators were pursuing higher realms.


    The Elemental Infant realm cultivators seemed strong to Mi Xiaojing, but in Wang Weijun''s eyes, they were just starting out. They could barely make waves in the corner of the Cultivation World. To advance further, every step was extremely difficult.


    Wang Weijun began to teach Mi Xiaojing some magical techniques and incantations to control the formation. These were all things he had just realized. He hadn''t tested them yet, but he felt that there was no need to test them for the time being. When someone entered the ancient formation, it wouldn''t be toote to test them.


    There would be reactions when there were people. Once the ancient formationunched an attack, they could use the magical techniques and incantations to boost the momentum and control the power of the ancient formation''s attack. Only in this way could they truly understand the ancient formation.


    Everyone was waiting. Only the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had entered the treasury. The enemy hade this far, she had to collect all the treasures in the treasury.


    Yu Hong was on guard at the spot. Once the enemy came out of the ancient formation, he had to take action to stop them.


    After a while, the teleportation formation lit up, and Zheng Tong and Xu Zhongqing appeared on the teleportation tform.


    Thousand Poisons frowned slightly. He was very dissatisfied with Zheng Tong. Why did you bring a powerhouse? It would be most appropriate and easiest to control if you brought Ouni and Banjin. If you bring Xu Zhongqing, this guy is powerful. When the treasure is obtained, is it mine or Xu Zhongqing''s?


    However, Thousand Poisons didn''t mention anything and greeted them with a smile, "Where are the others?"


    Zheng Tong smiled bitterly, "I ran into Brother Xu as soon as I went out... haha."


    In an instant, Thousand Poisons understood. This guy didn''t actually n to find Xu Zhongqing. He just had the bad luck to run into him and couldn''t hide it. He had toe down together. He could imagine Zheng Tong''s frustrated look.


    Thousand Poisons asked, "Didn''t you see anyone else?"


    Xu Zhongqing said, "They can''te for now. Haha, little brother, you really know how to find ces. You even found the treasury of the Heart Sect. Why don''t you go in?"


    Thousand Poisons said, "There''s an ancient formation. I can''t tell what kind of formation it is for now... so I didn''t dare to go in rashly. Brother Xu, can you see what kind of formation this is?"


    Xu Zhongqing nodded. He stood on the edge of the teleportation formation and carefully inspected it for a while. He frowned slightly and said, "If we throw someone in, we should be able to see clearly!"


    Thousand Poisons and Xu Zhongqing both looked at Zheng Tong.


    Zheng Tong was frustrated, but he couldn''t resist. There was no way, both of their strengths were much higher than his. Even if he objected, it would be useless. He could only grit his teeth in secret.


    Xu Zhongqing kept staring at the Mysterious Heaven Formation. He said, "This formation is interesting. With the level of the Heart Sect, they should not be able to set it up... Hmm, was this ce originally a relic?"


    Thousand Poisons said, "Hehe, it''s not necessarily a relic. Maybe one of the predecessors of the Heart Sect got the ancient formation method and set it up himself."He didn''t want Xu Zhongqing to figure out the situation, but he hoped that Xu Zhongqing could break the formation. As long as he could break this ancient formation, he believed he could get at least half of the treasures in the vault. Even if he fell out with Xu Zhongqing, he didn''t think Xu Zhongqing could defeat him.


    Xu Zhongqing nced at Thousand Poisons and then at Big Head Zheng. He said, "Brother, go and capture a cultivator. It doesn''t matter which side''s cultivator, just bring one back. Hmm, their cultivation level should be at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, the higher the better... Hurry up and go!" (Your support is my greatest motivation.) 16-10-1108:04:37

 Chapter 229: Unlucky Yong Ji

    <h4>Chapter 229: Unlucky Yong Ji</h4>


    Da Tou Zheng almost died of anger because of Xu Zhongqing. Was it so great to reach the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage? Damn it, he was only one step away!


    However, he said, "Fine, I''ll go!"


    Qian Du Qian almostughed out loud. He could guess Da Tou Zheng''s thoughts. He was undoubtedly furious, but he didn''t dare to confront Xu Zhongqing. If Da Tou Zheng dared to oppose, he wouldn''t mind joining in to suppress him.


    It was simple. If you didn''t want to capture a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then you could go in yourself. Da Tou Zheng understood this. Comparatively, it was easier to capture someone. He grumbled and stood on the teleportation formation again.


    Mi Xiaojing was watching by the side of the ice pir,pletely clueless about what these Elemental Infant stage experts were doing. Yu Hong was still inside, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had disappeared, and Da Tou Zheng was going in and out, he didn''t understand what it meant.


    "Old man, what are they dawdling about?"


    "Just wait, there will be changes soon. They should be preparing to enter the formation."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t dare to move recklessly. In this ce, he couldn''t go anywhere. He could only wait for the others to enter the formation, then Wang Weijun could better observe the changes in the formation, just like what Xu Zhongqing wanted to do, waiting for Da Tou Zheng to bring someone back.


    Xu Zhongqing and Qian Du Qian sat cross-legged, quietly waiting. The two were actually on full alert, not only guarding against people from the Heart Secting out of the ancient formation, but also guarding against enemiesing from the teleportation formation.


    Qian Du Qian''s prayer beads floated around him, slowly rotating. One by one, the spirit scripts appeared and disappeared mysteriously.


    From time to time, a poison lotus would emerge from the bowl in his hand, and then sink back down.


    On the surface, Xu Zhongqing seemed to have no defense, but there were asional fluctuations around him, directly distorting the air, as if there was an invisible force field.


    He and Qian Du Qian were more than six or seven meters apart. Obviously, their rtionship was not harmonious.


    After about ten minutes, the two remained motionless. Suddenly, the teleportation formation lit up, and the two stood up almost at the same time, staring at the teleportation tform.


    Da Tou Zheng was holding a person in his hand, his face looked very bad. Obviously, the task of capturing someone had upset him greatly.


    The person he was holding seemed to be unconscious. Da Tou Zheng casually threw the person outside the teleportation formation and said, "Ate-stage Foundation Establishment youngster, should be enough to test the ancient formation."


    Xu Zhongqing reached out and caught the person. He took a look andughed, "This person is good, haha." With a p, the person woke up. When he saw the situation around him, he showed a look of despair.


    Mi Xiaojing could see clearly from under the ice pir. When the person was pped awake by Xu Zhongqing, he was startled.


    Yong Ji!


    They actually captured Yong Ji!


    Mi Xiaojing had a good impression of Yong Ji, especially when he came to protect him before, they got along well. Yong Ji never interfered with him and was quite friendly to him.


    Wang Weijun gloated, "It''s this kid, he''s in trouble now. He must have been captured to test the ancient formation! This is a good opportunity for us to observe the operation of the ancient formation."


    "Save him!"


    "What? Are you out of your mind? Why save him? Let him die in the ancient formation, and I can see the attack of the ancient formation. Although this kid is not very strong, he should be enough to test the operation of the ancient formation."


    "We must save him!"


    Mi Xiaojing said firmly.


    Wang Weijun said unhappily, "Are you sick? You''re saving your enemy!"


    "If I didn''t know him, it would be fine. But I know him, and we have a good rtionship. If I have the chance to save him, why not?"


    "Good rtionship? Are there good friends in the Cultivation World? Don''t be naive."


    "No, I must save him!"


    Wang Weijun was also troubled. He had no choice but to deal with a stubborn guy like Mi Xiaojing. The key was that he couldn''t really make Mi Xiaojing resent him. Even if he didn''t agree with Mi Xiaojing''s views, he couldn''t change anything under Mi Xiaojing''s strong request.


    "Fine, fine, save him! Damn it!"


    Mi Xiaojing had no choice. He had to rely on Wang Weijun''s guidance to have a chance to save Yong Ji.


    "Thank you, old man."


    "Thank you, my ass!"


    Wang Weijun said irritably.


    Mi Xiaojingughed and didn''t continue speaking. As long as Wang Weijun agreed, there was a great chance that Yong Ji would survive.


    At this time, Yong Ji was stunned. He was ambushed and fell into aa. When he woke up, he had been captured here. He was immediately dumbfounded. The Elemental Infant stage experts around him made it difficult for him to breathe.


    He was done for!


    The only thought in Yong Ji''s mind was that he was going to die this time. He couldn''t beat even one of them, let alone three. The gap was too big, he couldn''t even muster the thought of resisting.


    Xu Zhongqing said, "Kid, you''re lucky. We don''t n to kill you, but we need you to do something."


    Yong Ji''s heart stirred slightly. These words gave him a glimmer of hope. As long as they didn''t kill him immediately, there was a chance. If these Elemental Infant stage experts wanted to kill him, his soul would probably be annihted. That was truly terrifying.


    Xu Zhongqing pointed to the side and said, "If you can rush over there, we will spare your life."


    Yong Ji took a look and immediately recognized it as the small Mysterious Heaven Formation before entering the treasury. His heart throbbed. He understood the danger, but unfortunately, he was not familiar with this ancient formation. This formation could only be learned and controlled by the Elemental Infant stage upper echelons of the Heart Sect.


    Yong Ji understood their purpose immediately. They wanted him to test the formation. Once the ancient formation was activated, they could find a solution. As for his life and death, these people didn''t care at all.


    Yong Ji also knew that he had no way to refute. If he didn''t agree, he would die immediately. If he agreed, at least there was a slim chance of survival."Agreed, but I have one condition. If you don''t ept it, I''d rather die here!"


    Xu Zhongqing''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his overwhelming aura almost made Yong Ji copse. However, at this point, Yong Ji had nothing to lose. He looked at Xu Zhongqing without saying a word.


    "What''s the condition?"


    Xu Zhongqing didn''t really care, he was just curious and wanted to hear what this guy had to say.


    "Return my weapon to me!"


    Xu Zhongqing looked at Da Tou Zheng and said, "Give him back his weapon!"


    Da Tou Zheng''s face turned pale instantly. He didn''t want to return such a good spirit sword. For a rogue cultivator like him, everything was a treasure, let alone Yong Ji''s Qianyang Sword.

 Chapter 230: Explore formation

    <h4>Chapter 230: Explore formation</h4>


    Xu Zhongqing''s gaze fell on Big Head Zheng, and the pressure originally aimed at Yong Ji suddenlynded on him.


    Big Head Zheng finally lost his temper, he roared, "Xu Zhongqing, what do you mean?"


    Xu Zhongqing remained indifferent, saying, "With a weapon, he can hold on a bit longer in the formation, don''t you understand?"


    Thousand Poisons also said, "Yes, give him back his weapon!"


    Big Head Zheng was dumbfounded. Even Thousand Poisons said so, he really couldn''t afford to offend him. He knew that Thousand Poisons was ruthless and notorious for turning his back on people. This guy could even fight against Brahman Sa without losing. Coupled with Xu Zhongqing, Big Head Zheng had no choice but to obey.


    He threw Yong Ji''s sword to the ground without saying a word, his face extremely ugly. Of course, neither Xu Zhongqing nor Thousand Poisons showed any change in their expressions, looking as if it was only natural.


    Yong Ji picked up his spirit sword, touched his waist, and found that his storage bag was also gone, obviously taken by Big Head Zheng. However, being able to retrieve his spirit sword, he was already very satisfied. As for other things, he knew he couldn''t get them back and there was no need to humiliate himself. He rushed directly towards the ancient formation.


    He rushed directly into the Mysterious Heaven Formation, and instantly, the formation started to operate.


    The extreme cold immediately slowed down Yong Ji''s movements. The spirit sword emitted a heat that quickly blocked the cold. The surrounding area was filled with mist, and Yong Ji couldn''t see anything clearly.


    The bone-chilling cold, even if he was using the Qianyang Sword, was of no avail. This kind of attack was truly silent, making people feel extremely ufortable.


    .


    The further he went, the slower he moved. Yong Ji felt like an ordinary person entering a super cold icy world, and what was deadly was that he didn''t even have clothes to keep out the cold.


    This kind of cold was something Yong Ji had never experienced before. In a short time, he was already shivering and had to mobilize his true energy to make the Qianyang Sword emit even hotter temperatures.


    Yong Ji understood in his heart that the Mysterious Heaven Formation had not yet exerted its true power. Once it truly unfolded, he would definitely not be able to resist. Fortunately, he had spent a long time in the sect and often hung around in the main hall of the sect. He had a little understanding of the ancient formations in the treasury. He didn''t know much, but he was clear about some countermeasures.


    He used the few magical techniques he had to resist the extreme cold.


    Suddenly, the force of the ancient formation attacking him was greatly reduced. However, this magical technique could only dy it and couldn''t truly iste it. Although this half-baked magical technique didn''t have much effect, it at least gave Yong Ji a precious opportunity.


    Actually, Yong Ji was also lucky. Before he entered the ancient formation, Mi Xiaojing had already been thinking about rescuing him. However, due to his unfamiliarity, he needed Wang Weijun''s guidance and wasn''t quick enough in his actions. He could only try to control the ancient formation bit by bit.


    At this time, the only thing Mi Xiaojing was worried about was that before he could control the Mysterious Heaven Formation, Yong Ji would be killed by the formation. As long as Yong Ji could hold on for a little while, Mi Xiaojing was confident that he could save him.


    However, because Yong Ji did not actively attack the ancient formation, and his movements became slower and slower after entering the formation, the attack power of the Mysterious Heaven Formation also decreased, giving Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing time.


    At this time, the operation of the ancient formation was the most gentle, and the attack was also rtively weak, especially since Yong Ji had never attacked the ancient formation. The current attack power, if it were a master in the Elemental Infant stage here, would not be a threat at all.


    This slow operation was the easiest to observe, whether it was Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun in the formation, or Xu Zhongqing and Thousand Poisons observing near the teleportation formation.


    With the help of Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing quickly found a way to save Yong Ji. A few magical techniques were cast, and the entire formation stopped operating. However, it was not noticeable from the outside. From Xu Zhongqing''s perspective, the formation was still operating slowly, but at a slower speed.


    Yong Ji, however, noticed something unusual. The extreme cold around him was quickly receding. He hurriedly moved forward, his speed getting faster and faster. However, he didn''t know that he was still enveloped in therge formation. Although the formation no longer attacked, what he saw was the Transcendent Passage that had activated its anti-theft mode, with only half a chapter and the previous chapter not connected. The hidden part behind, please search on Baidu: Qi Book House, and then search for Transcendent Passage to watch.

 Chapter 231: Lively

    <h4>Chapter 231: Lively</h4>


    Xu Zhongqing and Thousand Poisons'' strength were well known to Brahman Sa, so she attacked them without hesitation.


    Caught off guard, the two could only retreat hastily. However, behind them was the Mysterious Heaven Formation. With one strike, they were sent crashing into the ancient formation.


    The one who had betrayed hispanions was now in a terrible predicament. With Xu Zhongqing and Thousand Poisons forced into the ancient formation, he was left alone outside. How could he dare to fight against so many experts?


    Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, he had no choice but to rush into the ancient formation. With three Elemental Infant stage experts entering the formation, the Mysterious Heaven Formation reacted violently andunched an attack instantly.


    The characteristic of an ancient formation is that it bes stronger when faced with stronger opponents. When a Foundation Establishment cultivator enters, the formation''s reaction is quite ordinary. But when an Elemental Infant stage expert enters, the reaction is so intense that even Mi Xiaojing was taken aback. It was too exaggerated!


    At the same time, Radix Notoginseng, Banjin, and Oni also emerged from the teleportation formation. The scene became lively instantly. They immediately started a fierce battle, with various magical treasures flying around. Fortunately, the teleportation tform was made in ancient times and was too sturdy for an Elemental Infant stage cultivator to shake.


    This area was covered by the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Normally, as long as one didn''t touch the main formation, they would be safe. But now, with the ancient formation going all out, it was easy for the people fighting to be swept into it.


    In this sudden outbreak, everyone except Brahman Sa was swept into the ancient formation. Brahman Sa''s strength was indeed formidable, as she managed to withstand the attack of the ancient formation.


    She stayed in ce, only to find that she was the only one left. The key point was that Yin Jin had also been swept into the main formation. As a loving couple, how could she stay in ce? With a resentful stomp, she also rushed into the ancient formation.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. So many Elemental Infant stage experts entering the ancient formation sent chills down his spine. He knew that the more experts entered the ancient formation, the more terrifying the reaction of the Mysterious Heaven Formation would be!


    Wang Weijun, however, was overjoyed. He was dancing with excitement on the Heart Tower. With so many experts entering the formation, he could gain a deeper understanding of the ancient formation. This created a greater opportunity for him to find the ws in the Mysterious Heaven Formation and crack it.


    "Great, they all came in. Haha, these guys are the best test subjects, haha!"


    A Foundation Establishment cultivator thrown in wouldn''t be of much use. They could only observe some basic changes in the ancient formation and couldn''t uncover any profound secrets. But it was different when these Elemental Infant stage experts entered. The entire ancient formation was operating at full power to attack, revealing a lot of information.


    Suddenly, there was a cracking sound. Mi Xiaojing looked down to see cracks appearing on the ground beneath his feet. He was startled and asked, "What''s going on?"


    Wang Weijun said, "Don''t move. This is the control position. The formation won''t attack here. If you identally fall into the main formation, it will be toote. Your strength is too weak. In this situation, you will be frozen instantly, without even having time to react!"


    Mi Xiaojing dared not move. The more he understood about formations, the more he respected them. These things could kill people instantly, leaving no trace of a cultivator.


    Gritting his teeth, Mi Xiaojing showed great courage and managed to hold on. Then he saw an astonishing scene.


    A curved cover suddenly appeared, enclosing him inside. The cover was pressing down on his head, making it impossible for him to stand straight. He had no choice but to sit cross-legged. Only then did he realize that this cover was designed for people to meditate in a cross-legged position, perfectly enclosing his body.


    The ice pir behind him began to change. Numerous holes appeared on it, looking like a beehive. It was quite terrifying to look at. Light blue gas was being sprayed out from the holes.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but exim, "Extreme Cold Mysterious Qi!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand, but he knew that anything that could make Wang Weijun exim must be extremely abnormal.


    Then Mi Xiaojing found that his body was rising. Looking down, he saw that the ce where he was sitting cross-legged had left the ground and was rising along the ice pir.


    This was the advantage of the control position. He could clearly see everyone in the ancient formation through this light blue light cover. The people, who were originally quiterge, looked smaller than mice under the cover of the formation, as if they were sealed in a thickyer of ice.


    From Mi Xiaojing''s position, it looked like a painting, a moving painting. He could clearly see where everyone was and what they were doing. All the changes were clear to him, making Mi Xiaojing feel incredibly magical.


    Thousand Poisons, Xu Zhongqing, Zheng Tong, Radix Notoginseng, Banjin, Oni, the Vast Gold Sect, and the reinforcements they had invited, all entered the main formation.


    Yin Jin, Brahman Sa, Mu Hengyuan, and Mo Chentian were also in the ancient formation. The most unfortunate one was Yong Ji, who was already sitting on the ground, desperately resisting the invasion of the extreme cold.


    There were ten Elemental Infant stage experts in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, plus Yong Ji, who was in thete Foundation Establishment stage. It was indeed a lively scene. However, except for Mu Hengyuan carrying Mo Chentian, everyone else was scattered in the ancient formation, fighting on their own, struggling to resist the attack of the ancient formation.


    From Mi Xiaojing''s position, he could not only see everyone''s movements clearly, but also the traces of the formation''s operation. This was particrly important for Wang Weijun, who was constantly deducing.


    Everyone was struggling, even experts like Brahman Sa and Xu Zhongqing were no exception. The stronger the person, the more intense their resistance. Various methods were used against the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Mi Xiaojing noticed that the strongest person in the ancient formation was actually Thousand Poisons. He moved freely within the formation, with a string of beads circling around him and a lotus under his feet. Countless mantras were entwined around him, and the ancient formation couldn''t stop him from advancing.


    However, even though Thousand Poisons was so powerful, he still couldn''t escape. He went back and forth in the ancient formation, unable to find the correct path.Two other individuals were also quite formidable, one was Xu Zhongqing, and the other was Brahman Sa. Both of them were essentially free to move as they pleased, truly deserving of their status as masters at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant realm. Even the extreme cold could not hinder them.


    As for the others, they were having a much harder time, especially those in the early to mid stages of the Elemental Infant realm. They were restrained within the ancient formation, unable to act as they wished, and were groaning under the pressure of the ancient formation. They were only slightly better off than Yong Ji.


    At this time, Wang Weijun began to instruct Mi Xiaojing, imparting to him some magical techniques and incantations for him to experiment with.


    After Mi Xiaojing had mastered them, Wang Weijun sighed inwardly. The little guy''s strength was too weak. As a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he really couldn''t contribute much.


    These magical techniques and incantations, let alone cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage, even if Yong Ji were to use them, he would be far stronger than Mi Xiaojing.


    Attempting to unleash a magical technique, the power of the ancient formation instantly increased slightly. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is it useful?"


    Wang Weijun replied, "Keep going! Let''s see what happens."


    Mi Xiaojing gave a bitter smile. He was clearly struggling, but he said, "Alright, I''ll try again." To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 232: Formation Core

    <h4>Chapter 232: Formation Core</h4>


    Exciting and ad-free! Continuously casting magical techniques and incantations, Mi Xiaojing was striving to drive the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    He also discovered that due to his low cultivation level, he was unable to unleash the full power of the ancient formation.


    However, as he cast the magical techniques and incantations, Mi Xiaojing gradually understood the operation of the ancient formation. Although the increase in power was not significant, the fact that he could influence the Mysterious Heaven Formation delighted him greatly.


    During this time, Wang Weijun was still tirelessly teaching magical techniques and incantations to test the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    At this moment, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had already walked out of the treasury. She handed Yu Hong an inconspicuous storage bag and whispered a few words to him. Yu Hong nodded repeatedly. Only then did she look towards the ancient formation and asked curiously, "Who is controlling the formation?"


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was the most familiar with this ancient formation. Even her usual cultivation was done at a certain position within the formation. She was much more familiar with the Mysterious Heaven Formation than her fellow Elemental Infant stage cultivators.


    This was also the ce under the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden''s control. She could detect any changes at a nce.


    In fact, the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden could also control a bit of the formation''s operation. However, under the circumstances where the ancient formation had already begun to attack fiercely, this control was minimal. After a slight hesitation, she asked, "Are there any of our people inside?"


    In front of the treasury door, the situation inside the ancient formation was not visible. Due to the fierce attacks, the entire formation was enveloped in mysterious energy. From the outside, it looked like a rolling fog, making it impossible to investigate the situation inside.


    asionally, one or two sounds of collision or roars would be heard, but the sounds were also elusive.


    Yu Hong''s face was gloomy. He had not expected the enemy to reach the treasury so quickly. Although he had already stored all the items in the treasury on his person, he knew in his heart that it would be very difficult for the sect to hold on.


    His gaze turned to a certain ce where there was still a glimmer of hope. As long as the senior who was in seclusion came out, all problems could be solved.


    They had tried to contact him several times, but received no response. There were prohibitions in the seclusion area. Unless they were forcibly broken, they could onlye out from the inside.


    They used the previously agreed method to transmit information, but for some reason, there was no news at all, as if there was no one inside.


    In fact, the failure of this battle was mainly due to the involvement of Thousand Poisons. No one had expected that he possessed the strength of the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, causing the bnce of power between the two sides to be instantly disrupted. The cultivators of the Heart Sect could not resist and had been retreating to this point, but they were still being pursued.


    Relying solely on the Mysterious Heaven Formation, neither Yu Hong nor the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden were confident of holding on. Moreover, this was a closed environment. Once the formation was broken and the protection of the ancient formation was lost, it was estimated that the entire space would copse.


    Every Elemental Infant stage cultivator, regardless of their strength, had unquestionable destructive power. Even if they couldn''t punch a mountain or cut a river with a sword, they were not something that could be resisted by anything. For example, this underground relic, once an Elemental Infant stage expert went all out, destruction would be a matter of minutes.


    It was entirely thanks to the cover of the Mysterious Heaven Formation that they could resist the attack of an Elemental Infant stage expert. Of course, the ancient formation was also counterattacking. An ancient formation in a relic was enough to resist the attack of many Elemental Infant stage experts.


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "I''m going into the formation... Elder brother, you guard here!"


    Yu Hong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Be careful. If you encounter our people, try to bring them out..."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden nodded and said, "There are quite a few people in the formation. There should be our people. This is the first time I''ve seen such a violent reaction from the formation."


    Yu Hong said, "If you find danger, withdraw immediately."


    The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden stopped talking and rushed directly into the Mysterious Heaven Formation. At the same time, she cast a magical technique, and instantly, the surrounding mysterious energy retreated.


    This was a body-protecting magical technique specifically for the ancient formation, and also one of the key techniques for entering and exiting the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    This technique was known to all Elemental Infant stage experts of the Heart Sect. It could only barely resist the erosion of the extreme cold mysterious energy when the formationunched an attack. Once the formation entered a strong attack mode, the usefulness of this technique was minimal.


    Mi Xiaojing also saw the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. He knew that she had entered the Mysterious Heaven Formation. From this position, he could see all the changes in the ancient formation. The only regret was that he couldn''t control the entire formation.


    Here, both Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun could see the core of the ancient formation. It was a silver light group that was moving around. If they were not at the control position, they would not be able to discover this thing at all.


    After Mi Xiaojing cast countless magical techniques and incantations, the silver light group appeared and disappeared. It was not until Wang Weijun taught a few new techniques that this thing waspletely exposed.


    Wang Weijun said thoughtfully, "Interesting. It seems that the Heart Sect has never found the control position of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Haha, if they had found this control position, they would definitely have found the core of the ancient formation... These fools, they are in the treasury but they don''t know it!"


    Mi Xiaojing said with a bitter face, "I shouldn''t have gotten involved. This ce is a death trap for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, let alone a small Qi Refining stage cultivator like me... Ah, it''s terrifying!"


    Wang Weijunughed loudly, "Haha, don''t you still have me? How can these trashpare to me? This is my power, not yours!"


    This guy started to show off again, and Mi Xiaojing was speechless. Would he die if he didn''t show off? But he had to admit in his heart that it was because of Wang Weijun that he had the courage to enter here.


    Without Wang Weijun''s guidance all along, Mi Xiaojing would probably be a small figure in the Qi Refining stage at most even if he cultivated, the bottom of the bottom, not even cannon fodder.It was indeed thanks to Wang Weijun that he could possess his current strength, being able to contend with an Elemental Infant stage expert, which was truly miraculous.


    In the Ancient Formation, the safest ce was the control position where Mi Xiaojing was. Even if an Elemental Infant stage expert came to his side, they could do nothing to him. Protected by a light shield, as long as the Formation was not broken, he would not be harmed.


    Soon, Wang Weijun stopped giving instructions and closed his eyes in contemtion.


    Mi Xiaojing also stopped controlling therge Formation. It was too difficult to control, he needed to conserve his energy, and watch the spectacle for now. So many Elemental Infant stage Cultivators gathered in the Formation, and he could see everything clearly. This opportunity for close observation could not be missed, such high-level battles were not often seen.


    .


    In therge Formation, those who moved with ease were Thousand Poisons, Xu Zhongqing, and Brahman Sa, among which the methods of Thousand Poisons were the most bizarre.


    From Mi Xiaojing''s perspective, it was a very small person, standing on a lotus flower, holding a bowl in his hand, surrounded by Prayer Beads. On therge red robe, Spirit Scripts appeared and disappeared, reaching the pinnacle of mystery.


    Thanks to countless readers who couldn''t take off their clothes, and book friends like 161006200708018 for their rewards and support! (.)

 Chapter 233: Escape

    <h4>Chapter 233: Escape</h4>


    Bumbling around, back and forth, Mi Xiaojing understood that Thousand Poisons was trying to find a way out.


    Unfortunately, he was enveloped by the power of the great formation. Every time he found the right direction, the formation would invert yin and yang, instantly changing the route. What was originally a charge outward would directly switch directions.


    However, Thousand Poisons did not get discouraged and continued to try relentlessly.


    Xu Zhongqing was quite rxed. Unlike Thousand Poisons, he was very cautious when flying. After flying a certain distance, he would stop to observe carefully. The surrounding mysterious energy and some attacks were easily resolved by him.


    So far, Xu Zhongqing was the closest to the edge of the great formation. This made Mi Xiaojing admire him greatly. This man was indeed a master at the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant, with a wealth of experience.


    The most intense reaction came from Brahman Sa. She sat on arge red robe. In Mi Xiaojing''s eyes, this fat woman was extremely irritable. Her attacks were like raindrops, never ceasing from beginning to end, constantly attacking wildly. She was trying to break out with absolute strength!


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that the reason Brahman Sa was fighting so fiercely was that she was desperately looking for her husband. She was used to being with Yin Jin, and once they were separated, her reaction would be very intense.


    Mi Xiaojing also found Yin Jin, who was far away from Brahman Sa, just on the opposite sides of the ancient formation. For Brahman Sa to find Yin Jin, she would need to cross the entire ancient formation, and who knows how many counterattacks from the great formation she would trigger.


    Brahman Sa had no idea about the direction. She was purely rushing around, trying her luck to find Yin Jin. It was extremely difficult. Mi Xiaojing watched curiously, pondering in his heart. To make the two meet, it seemed that there were a few magical techniques and incantations that could do it, but he had never tried them before.


    Wang Weijun suddenly said, "I''ll pass on a few magical techniques to you, and add an incantation for you to try. Hmm, the effect is to open a passage in front of someone, letting them fall into the attack of the formation. You figure it out."


    Mi Xiaojing was startled. Did the old man know what he was thinking? He then realized that Wang Weijun was talking about a trap, to let people enter the most violent attack area of the great formation. What he was thinking was to let the two masters meet, which would not only trigger the attack of the formation but also a duel between masters at the Elemental Infant stage.


    Mi Xiaojing found Yong Ji, sitting not far away, his breath already very weak. He cast a magical technique, instantly dispersing the mysterious energy around Yong Ji, giving him a chance to breathe.


    After a moment, Yong Ji slowly stood up. Although his body was clearly stiff, the situation had slightly eased.


    Another magical technique was cast, and a path appeared in front of Yong Ji, just like the small path when they first entered the treasure vault.


    Yong Ji reacted very quickly, immediately sprinting forward along the small path. Mi Xiaojing watched him, continuously casting magical techniques and incantations, opening up a way out for him.


    The path in front of Yong Ji kept extending. The first thing he thought of was Mi Xiaojing. Although he found it hard to believe, he had a guess that the current situation was likely Mi Xiaojing helping him.


    At this time, Mi Xiaojing cast another magical technique and shouted loudly.


    "Don''t linger, leave here immediately once you get out!"


    Yong Ji heard it clearly. It was indeed Mi Xiaojing. He had many questions in his heart, but he couldn''t ask them for the time being. He sprinted forward along the path opened by Mi Xiaojing.


    In fact, the Mysterious Heaven Formation was notrge. Yong Ji spent less than a minute and sessfully rushed out of the ancient formation, arriving at the teleportation formation.


    When he saw the teleportation tform, he felt a strong sense of unreality. Had he escaped just like that? He looked back at the path he hade from, only to find that the passage had disappeared.


    He heard Mi Xiaojing''s shout clearly and finally understood that it was indeed Mi Xiaojing who was helping him. He didn''t dare to linger and immediately stepped onto the teleportation tform.


    There were too many masters at the Elemental Infant stage. If he stayed here, any one of them who came out would be more than he could handle. This ce was too dangerous!


    .


    Once on the teleportation formation, Yong Ji bowed in the direction of Mi Xiaojing, expressing his gratitude. Mi Xiaojing had truly saved his life.


    Then he immediately cast a magical technique, and Yong Ji disappeared from the teleportation formation in an instant.


    Mi Xiaojing could see the teleportation formation. Seeing Yong Ji leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Weijun said indifferently, "A little guy at the Foundation Establishment stage is not worth your rescue. If he dies, he dies."


    "He helped me!"


    "Humph!"


    Wang Weijun didn''t say anything, but he was very disdainful in his heart. Anyway, the person had already been let out, so he didn''t bother to say more. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, if he ran away, he ran away.


    Mi Xiaojing stared at the people in the ancient formation. Each master at the Elemental Infant stage was struggling in the ancient formation, like a living painting. He could see everyone''s actions clearly.


    Various magical treasures and methods were endless, which greatly broadened Mi Xiaojing''s horizons. Many of the attacks were beyond Mi Xiaojing''s understanding and he needed to ask Wang Weijun to figure out what was going on.With just this, Mi Xiaojing realized how vast the gap between himself and these people was. Even though he had many methods and treasures at his disposal, there was still noparison.


    Wang Weijun was constantly focused on the core silver light group, pondering how to force it near the control position. Only in this way would he have a chance to enter.


    He was filled with curiosity and greed for the core of this Mysterious Heaven Formation. This was an instinct, the instinct of a Rogue Cultivator, and also the instinct of a high-level Cultivator. For such relics, no high-level Cultivator would let it go. The first thought was to im it for themselves.


    "Everyone is fighting for themselves, it''s hard to provoke a stronger reaction from the formation this way, hmm."


    Xiaojing asked, "So we just wait like this?"


    "Wait? Hehe, that would be too much of a waste of time. The fight is not intense enough. Tsk tsk, we should at least make them fight each other. Let me think."


    Mi Xiaojing felt a chill hearing this. It was already chaotic enough, yet the old man still thought it wasn''t enough and wanted to stir up more trouble. He couldn''t understand what Wang Weijun was trying to do.


    Wang Weijun was thinking. He needed the people inside to fight each other. Only then would the stimtion to the Ancient Formation be greater. These Elemental Infant stage old fellows were very measured. Even if they attacked the Ancient Formation, they wouldn''t go all out. They would only do enough to resist the attack and wouldn''t waste energy.


    In this way, the stimtion to the formation would naturally not reach its peak.


    But once these old fellows started fighting each other, the situation would be different. Both sides would definitely fight fiercely, as it was a matter of life and death. They would definitely do their best to fight.


    As long as it was well nned, the fight between these people would definitely provoke a more intense counterattack from the formation, which could affect the core of the Ancient Formation, allowing the core to slowly move towards Mi Xiaojing. To be continued.

 Chapter 234: Sheet metal death!

    <h4>Chapter 234: Sheet metal death!</h4>


    Given Mi Xiaojing''s experience, he waspletely unable to understand how to enter the core of this ancient formation, but Wang Weijun was very clear.


    The core of this ancient formation was actually a space. It could berge or small. From what they could see at the moment, the space of this core should not berge, after all, this was not the Mysterious Heaven Formation, but the Lesser Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what Wang Weijun was up to, but he always found the old man extremely mysterious and his methods were extraordinary, which he had always admired.


    Wang Weijun once again designed three sets of magical techniques and incantations, and then passed them on to Mi Xiaojing one by one.


    "Have you memorized them? These three sets, I will tell you which one to use, and you will use it. If I tell you to be fast, you will be fast. If I tell you to be slow, you will be slow. I need your full cooperation!"


    "I''ve memorized them, no problem, I''ll cooperate fully!"


    Mi Xiaojing easily memorized the three sets of magical techniques and incantations. He had learned these before, they were just differentbinations.


    Mi Xiaojing tried it once, and seeing the changes in the formation, he began to understand.


    This was a trap, a pitfall, designed to make these Elemental Infant stage bosses meet each other. Companions couldn''t see each other, and those they encountered were definitely enemies!


    Mi Xiaojing found it very novel. The strengths of the two sides in the formation were not symmetrical. The Vast Gold Sect had an absolute advantage, especially with Mu Hengyuan carrying Mo Chentian on his back and Yu Hong not in the ancient formation, the overall strength was far apart.


    Wang Weijun chose to let Brahman Sa face Banjin, which was the greatest ability Mi Xiaojing currently had. It was impossible to mobilize all the Elemental Infant stage cultivators at the same time.


    Brahman Sa and Banjin were very close to each other, and they could face each other with just a short distance. However, under the cover of the formation, they were not aware of this.


    "One! Three! Then consecutively cast two twos, and then a three!"


    One was the first set, and two was the second set. Wang Weijun gave simple and clearmands, and Mi Xiaojing cast the magical techniques and incantations as instructed.


    Brahman Sa was very flustered. She was running around in the ancient formation, but she couldn''t see a single person, let alone her husband. She had used several methods of contact, but she couldn''t get a response. Her anger was rising bit by bit, and her attack power was also getting stronger.


    Just then, the mysterious energy in front of Brahman Sa suddenly disappeared. She was overjoyed and rushed over without hesitation.


    Banjin was a brave man, but his Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword had been mostly destroyed in the battle, and his strength had greatly decreased. Now he was using another spirit sword, the Xuanjin Sword. This was a weapon he had used in the past. After getting the Seven-Ring Golden Sand Sword, this spirit sword became his backup sword.


    The Xuanjin Sword was a heavy sword. When it was released, it looked like a huge golden door, heavy andrge, and looked extremely clumsy. However, when itunched an attack, it was quite impressive.


    He also noticed that the mysterious energy on his right was fading. Like Brahman Sa, he picked up the Xuanjin Sword and rushed over.


    In an instant, Brahman Sa and Banjin were face to face. Mi Xiaojing cast another magical technique, and the originally dispersed mysterious energy directly expanded a space.


    Seeing Banjin, Brahman Sa couldn''t help butugh wildly. The fat woman''sughter was sharp and rapid, filled with a nameless fire. Brahman Sa was already extremely frustrated and couldn''t find a target to vent her anger. When she saw Banjin, her eyes suddenly lit up. The expression of wanting to eat people even scared Banjin.


    Strike first and gain the upper hand. Banjin was indeed a brave and unparalleled guy. He swung his sword without care. It was only then that he saw clearly who his opponent was. In an instant, his heart turned cold.


    Brahman Sa!


    That Elemental Infant Great Perfection fat woman! No one dared to ignore Brahman Sa. This woman''s strength was truly terrifying. Banjin knew he was far inferior, so after swinging his sword, his first thought was to run. No matter how brave he was, he lost his courage to fight in the face of absolute strength.


    "Damn it! sh!"


    Banjin couldn''t help but shout out loud.


    Brahman Sa was already unhappy. Hearing Banjin''s shout, her eyebrows shot up and her eyes shed with murderous intent.


    "Seeking death! I''ll grant you your wish!"


    The Xuanjin Sword turned into a huge door, with golden light shing on it, and it shed straight down.


    Brahman Sa simply rolled her eyes and casually waved her hand. The big red robe flew out and instantly wrapped around the Xuanjin Sword. Then her plump and white hand clenched into a fist and punched the big red robe.


    Crack!


    The Xuanjin Sword wrapped in the big red robe trembled violently. Brahman Sa''s punch shattered this spirit sword.


    Banjin''s eyes were about to pop out of his head. This was too scary. This was a spirit sword, not a piece of ordinary iron. Was this fat woman''s hand a treasure? It actually shattered the spirit sword with one punch!


    Brahman Sa followed up one move after another. After shattering the Xuanjin Sword, she pulled the big red robe and swung it hard. The shattered Xuanjin Sword shot towards Banjin like arrows.


    Banjin was so scared that he screamed, raising his hand to roll up a golden sandstorm, trying to wrap up the fragments. But it was clear that his strength was not enough. Some fragments pierced through the sandstorm and continued to shoot towards Banjin.


    Puff! Puff!


    Banjin tried his best to dodge, but he was still pierced by two fragments. He couldn''t dodge them at all.


    One fragment pierced his thigh, and the other shot into his shoulder. Before he could react, Brahman Sa threw out the big red robe. The big red robe turned into a red cloud and directly wrapped around him.Banjin waspletely stunned. Everything happened too fast. In a sh, Brahman Sa hadpleted her attack. Especially those two fragments of the mysterious gold sword, which directly made him pause in mid-air, unable to make any move, not even able to teleport. The red cloud enveloped him before he could react.


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, "Wow, she''s so strong! Amazing!"


    Even Wang Weijun couldn''t help but praise, "This woman is definitely a master inbat. Each move is linked to the next, every strike is deadly. Good!"


    Banjin felt as if his heart had stopped beating. In an instant, he had an extreme sense of danger. But he could do nothing, watching as the red cloud enveloped him. His mouth was wide open, but he didn''t even have the chance to make a sound.


    His body dissipated directly in the red cloud, his flesh and blood absorbed by the cloud. Banjin''s Elemental Infant tried to escape, but it still couldn''t get out of the red cloud. With a scream, it vanished into thin air.


    The red cloud suddenly flew back, transforming back into arge red robe. The color was even more vibrant and eye-catching, ayer of Treasure Light flowing. Brahman Sa grinned andughed, "Haha, you thought you could fight me?"


    Instant kill!


    Wang Weijun didn''t say a word, and Mi Xiaojing was even more horrified. After a while, Wang Weijun sighed, "I didn''t expect this woman to have a Blood Demon g."


    It was the first time Mi Xiaojing had heard the word ''demon''. Because he was not only a Cultivator, but also an Evolutionary Immortal. When he heard the word ''demon'', he had a very evil feeling.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What is a Blood Demon g?" To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 235: Wang Weijuns strategy

    <h4>Chapter 235: Wang Weijun''s strategy</h4>


    Wang Weijun exined, "It''s a demonic artifact, a powerful one at that. However, demons and cultivators are natural enemies, especially those pursuing Evolutionary Immortality. I didn''t expect this woman to be a demon cultivator... No, she''s still a cultivator, but she''s using a demonic artifact, probably attracted by its power."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Didn''t you notice it before?"


    Wang Weijun replied, "She has refined the Blood Demon Banner. If it was purely used for defense, it would be undetectable. Even I wouldn''t have noticed it until it transformed into a red cloud and cleanly killed that man."


    "What would happen if others found out?"


    "They would be hunted down... No wonder she used it within the Mysterious Heaven Formation. She probably thought no one would notice inside the formation, but she didn''t expect us to be watching from the control position."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What are demons afraid of?"


    "They fear Evolutionary Immortality... Oh, there''s one right here. Let them fight, it''ll be more fun, haha!"


    "Old man, you''re not talking about Thousand Poisons, are you?"


    "Haha, exactly! He''s from the Evolutionary Immortality. Regardless of his cultivation, I see his attack method is still leaning towards the true words. Although he has changed a lot, it''s hard to change what''s in his bones!"


    Mi Xiaojing was also curious. If Thousand Poisons and Brahman Sa started fighting, he could learn a lot. As an Evolutionary Immortal and a cultivator after Evolutionary Immortality, many principles are the same. For Mi Xiaojing, this kind of reference is very rare, and he certainly didn''t want to miss the opportunity.


    Wang Weijun was also impulsive, feeling that this kind of thing should be done for fun. He could watch the excitement and use this opportunity to force the core of the Mysterious Heaven Formation toe over.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun began to observe. Because they were in the control position, the Ancient Formation was like a painting, and they could see everything clearly. At this time, without Mi Xiaojing''s interference, Brahman Sa began to rampage again.


    As for Thousand Poisons, he had also calmed down at this time and began to explore bit by bit. If he found something wrong, he would immediately stop.


    Because the counterattack of the Ancient Formation was not strong, it was more about misleading and restricting. Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun both understood that as long as they had enough time, the three Elemental Infants at the Great Perfection stage in the Ancient Formation could possibly find a way out.


    Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t truly control the Ancient Formation. Otherwise, with the power of the Ancient Formation, he could definitely wipe out all the cultivators who entered the formation. Whether the Ancient Formation was controlled by someone or not, that was apletely different concept.


    With the help of Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing kept casting magical techniques and incantations, guiding the two little by little towards the core of the Ancient Formation. In this way, their fight would affect the core of the Ancient Formation, and it would be possible to force the core of the Ancient Formation towards the Ice Pir where Mi Xiaojing was.


    When Brahman Sa and Thousand Poisons met, it was like thunder meeting fire. Neither of them made a move immediately, but maintained a confrontational posture. Both of them were very clear about each other''s abnormalities.


    Wang Weijun was surprised for a moment. He didn''t expect that these two would just confront each other and not make a move. He quickly reacted and couldn''t help saying, "Cunning old foxes!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t understand and asked, "Why aren''t they fighting?"


    "Their strengths are equal, and a fight would result in mutual destruction... Especially now that they''re in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, both of them are old hands in the Cultivation World. They can see this. If they were sure of victory, they would fight. Just like that fat woman, when she saw the guy from the Vast Gold Sect, she killed him in a sh."


    After Wang Weijun''s exnation, Mi Xiaojing also understood. He sighed inwardly, thinking that none of the people who could mix to this level in the Cultivation World were simple.


    Thinking of the Elemental Infant cultivator who was killed just now, it was clear that he hadn''t grown to this step yet. He was directly wiped out, and all his previous efforts were in vain. No wonder the old man was so emotional. The Cultivation World was indeed terrifying!


    Brahman Sa and Thousand Poisons, besides needing to guard against each other, also had to guard against the attack of the Ancient Formation. Thousand Poisons took the initiative to speak, grinning, "Sister, can we not fight? How about we fight after we get out?"


    Brahman Sa was fully focused, her expression tense. Although she was not afraid of Thousand Poisons, she knew that fighting here was very dangerous. Most importantly, she was not sure she could quickly defeat Thousand Poisons. Even if she had a demonic artifact in her hand, she didn''t want to entangle with someone of the same realm.


    Hearing Thousand Poisons'' words, Brahman Sa also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Fine! We''ll each go our own way. You go first!"


    "Hehe, sister, you go first..."


    If there were outsiders, they would probably be dizzy. Both of them were overly polite.


    But neither of them was willing to go first. It wasn''t out of politeness, but because whoever went first might be ambushed by the other. They had both seen a lot of this, so they politely asked the other to go first.


    Mi Xiaojing was staring, he had no good feelings for either Thousand Poisons or Brahman Sa. He was hoping that the two would fight, but found that they didn''t make a move at all. Instead, they slowly retreated and were once again enveloped by therge formation.


    Wang Weijun pondered for a moment, then couldn''t help but sneer, "Not fighting? Hehe, I''ll make you regret it!"


    Mi Xiaojing secretly admired Wang Weijun''s endless tricks. He couldn''t think of any way to do it. Mi Xiaojing didn''t know that Wang Weijun did this to encourage him, to make him less pedantic and dogmatic, to be more flexible in thinking, and to have more methods.


    Following Wang Weijun''s instructions, Mi Xiaojing slowly moved the people in therge formation. Soon, he discovered Wang Weijun''s purpose. This method was simple, just to let Thousand Poisons and Yin Jin meet, and at the same time, move Brahman Sa closer.


    After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing''s hair stood on end. This move was somewhat sinister.If Thousand Poisons were to encounter Yin Jin, the consequences would be severe. This was because Thousand Poisons was stronger than Yin Jin. Yin Jin was only at thete stage of the Elemental Infant, a level lower than Thousand Poisons. Coupled with the strange tactics of Thousand Poisons, Yin Jin would definitely be at a disadvantage.


    As long as Yin Jin was injured, they would then bring in Brahman Sa. At that point, Wang Weijun didn''t believe that Brahman Sa could still keep her cool.


    Under Wang Weijun''s guidance and Mi Xiaojing''s control, finally, Yin Jin and Thousand Poisons shed.


    This time, without any hesitation, Thousand Poisons, holding his bowl, suddenly unleashed a series of Poison Lotuses, instantly attacking Yin Jin.


    Yin Jin had no time to escape. He roared, and his spirit sword was unleashed. He was not afraid of Thousand Poisons. In theirst battle, although Thousand Poisons performed well, he didn''t think this guy was that formidable.


    .


    Thousand Poisons also didn''t take Yin Jin seriously. If it weren''t for Brahman Sa backing him up, he wouldn''t care about this guy at all. A man who relied on his wife, he felt there would be no problem defeating him.

 Chapter 236: Yin Jin and Brahman Sa

    <h4>Chapter 236: Yin Jin and Brahman Sa</h4>


    The Poison Lotus instantly entwined Yin Jin''s spiritual sword. This Poison Lotus was refined using true words and cultivation techniques, specifically to contaminate spiritual sword treasures. It immediately caused Yin Jin''s spiritual sword tog, preventing him from using it flexibly.


    At the same time, Thousand Poisons pped his bowl-shaped body, and another series of Poison Lotuses flew out, directly crashing towards Yin Jin.


    Yin Jin was greatly horrified. He had seen the Poison Lotus attack of Thousand Poisons before and always thought it was just that. He never expected it could cause his spiritual sword tog. He raised his hand and released a series of thunder fires, trying to explode the Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus was indeed shattered by his condensed Gang Qi thunder, but after shattering, it did not disappear. Instead, it turned into strands of Poisonous Thread, scattering everywhere.


    A few of these threadsnded on Yin Jin, instantly etching into his skin. His heart skipped a beat, and he raised his arm, immediately stirring up a gust of wind that blew away the Poisonous Threads around him.


    Thousand Poisons sneered, uttering a low sound from his mouth. Yin Jin couldn''t understand what he was saying, but he saw a prayer bead that had been circling around Thousand Poisons suddenly fly out.


    The prayer bead instantly expanded, bing asrge as a millstone and whistling as it struck.


    A light shield appeared on Yin Jin''s body. He had no way to dodge. As soon as he moved, he would hit the floating Poisonous Threads. The power of the Poisonous Threads was so great that just a few strands were enough to overwhelm him.


    His spiritual sword wasgging and couldn''t return in time. Yin Jin had no choice but to release the Gang Qi thunder, colliding with the iing prayer bead. However, he couldn''t stop the prayer bead at all. It instantly smashed into him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    This blow put him at a great disadvantage. His body flew backward and collided with the floating Poisonous Threads.


    A series of blows directly dazed Yin Jin. He never thought that Thousand Poisons could be so formidable!


    Thousand Poisons grinned, pointing at the circling prayer bead in front of him. In an instant, three more prayer beads flew out, while the previous one had already flown back.


    The three prayer beads quickly expanded, chasing after Yin Jin!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Yin Jin barely recalled his spiritual sword, blocking the attacks of two prayer beads. Immediately after, his spiritual sword was destroyed. Thest prayer bead smashed into him, directly breaking the light shield on his body. The originally floating Poisonous Threads, like living creatures, violently invaded Yin Jin''s body.


    A series of attacks, as fast as lightning and as swift as a sh, left Yin Jin in disbelief. He had no power to fight back, even defending was difficult. He was defeated by Thousand Poisons in an instant.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were equally shocked. This person was too strong. Ate-stage Elemental Infant expert had no power to fight back and was beaten into a sorry state in a very short time.


    Wang Weijun said, "Quick! Bring Brahman Sa over quickly!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately released a series of magical techniques and incantations, quickly luring Brahman Sa in. However, this required some time. Even if it was very short, Yin Jin was about to be unable to hold on.


    With the Poisonous Threads on his body, Yin Jin waspletely off. His spiritual sword was destroyed, and his protective treasure was also destroyed. This made him feel the threat of death. He couldn''t help but let out a sharp howl, which was a warning agreed upon with his wife.


    Since Brahman Sa was already close to the two of them, she heard Yin Jin''s warning first. Although it was just a faint sound, Brahman Sa instantly became anxious. She rushed and fought towards the sound of the warning. With Mi Xiaojing''s control, it reduced a lot of resistance for her.


    In a few moments, Brahman Sa rushed into the space where the two were fighting. Seeing Yin Jin''s miserable state, she instantly went crazy.


    Yin Jin''s original strength was actually stronger than Brahman Sa''s. However, he gave all the good things to his wife, and the resources he grabbed were also given to her. This allowed Brahman Sa to surpass him, and her cultivation level was a small realm higher than his.


    The two had a great rtionship, deeply in love as husband and wife. Brahman Sa was very reliant on Yin Jin in her heart. Seeing Yin Jin''s miserable state, she naturally couldn''t bear it.


    Without any nonsense, the big red robe she was wearing flew out. This was her trump card, usually disguised as amon magical treasure, mainly used for defense. But once it exploded, it was the demonic treasure, Blood Demon g.


    The power of a demonic treasure is usually stronger than a spiritual weapon of the same level. Its abnormal degree is enough to make people in the Cultivation World shout and kill. Moreover, the charging method of the demonic treasure is also very special. It usually uses the flesh and blood of cultivators, or Golden Elixir and Elemental Infant, or human souls to supplement, thereby enhancing the power of the demonic treasure.


    The demonic treasure is extremely sharp in killing. The Blood Demon g instantly turned into a red cloud, rushing straight towards Thousand Poisons.


    Moreover, Brahman Sa was so angry that she attacked her heart. While throwing out the Blood Demon g, she also released a magical technique, directly pushing the power of the Blood Demon g to its peak. In an instant, there were ghostly cries and wolf howls, and the eerie screams came from the red cloud.


    Thousand Poisons also didn''t expect that Brahman Sa would suddenly appear here, and coincidentally saw him almost killing Yin Jin. He was also anxious in his heart.


    Although he was not afraid of Brahman Sa, looking at this woman''s appearance, he knew that Brahman Sa had found out that he wanted to kill Yin Jin. At this moment, she was fighting desperately. He really didn''t want to fight with someone of equal strength. It was not worth it. He came here to make a fortune, not to fight with people.


    In the red cloud,rge and small skulls appeared. These were left after the Blood Demon g killed people. Every time it killed a person, a skull would automatically appear. Judging from this, Brahman Sa had killed quite a few people.


    Of course, there should also be the achievements of the previous owner in it, if this demonic treasure was not refined by her.


    Thousand Poisons felt a huge crisis. He eximed, "Blood Demon g!" As soon as the words came out, his body had already retreated quickly, and the hairs on his body stood up.


    It was as if an invisible circle had enveloped the three of them. Thousand Poisons couldn''t retreat. This was the trap that Wang Weijun had set up through Mi Xiaojing. As long as one person was still fighting, the other person couldn''t retreat.Yin Jin was floating in the air, struggling to control the situation, trying to prevent the Poisonous Thread from approaching the Elemental Infant. His face had turned a ghastly greenish-gray, shrouded in an aura of death.


    Brahman Sa swung out the Blood Demon g, and after casting a Magical Technique, she directly reached out and pulled Yin Jin to her side: "Brother Yin, Brother Yin, what''s wrong with you? Are you okay?" Her voice was choked with tears.


    Yin Jin said in a deep voice: "Don''t panic, don''t panic. I can hold on for a while longer. Kill him first!" His voice was already weak.


    Thousand Poisons reacted extremely quickly. When he realized that there was no way out, that he couldn''t escape, a thought shed through his mind: "Who is plotting against me?"


    He directly cast a Magical Technique. The bowl that was originally held in his hand suddenly erged. The bowl, which was originally only the size of a basin, inted to the size of a water tank in an instant.


    His hands were like beating a drum, Thousand Poisons crazily beat the bowl. In an instant, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the seven-colored Poison Lotus, shot out like a fountain. Hundreds of lotus flowers formed a stream of Poison Lotus, rushing towards the red cloud.


    When the Poison Lotus and the red cloud collided, it was like setting off firecrackers, with crackling sounds filling the air. The true words trapped in the Poison Lotus were released all at once with the explosion of the Poison Lotus. To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 237: Restrain

    <h4>Chapter 237: Restrain</h4>


    Exciting and ad-free! From a distance, Mi Xiaojing saw a red cloud, a Poison Lotus, and two figures colliding.


    The attack, like a rainbow, painted a colorful glow. Mi Xiaojing said, "This Poison Lotus... why is it so powerful?"


    Wang Weijun replied, "This is also a kind of demon, using Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation to be demonic!"


    Mi Xiaojing was puzzled, "Isn''t demon bad?" He instinctively rejected the demon.


    Wang Weijun casually said, "There''s nothing wrong with demons, it depends on how you use them. However, demons are extreme, powerful, unpredictable, but they can affect the cultivator''s temperament and the path of cultivation. This is not what cultivators want to see, otherwise, demonic artifacts and treasures would have been rampant in the Cultivation World."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is the bowl body of Thousand Poisons also a demonic treasure?"


    Wang Weijunughed, "Fool, of course not. I mean, this Poison Lotus has a demonic vor, lost the indifference and nonpetition of Evolutionary Immortality, and also lost the grandeur and righteousness of cultivation. Its methods are weird and poisonous, and it is close to the demon."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "You scared me!"


    He also had a Poison Lotus, which was restored by the Mantra Banner after helping Mu Hengyuan detoxify. This thing made his strength surge a lot, and even turned the tables on Chen Shouyi with this poison, eventually leading to Chen Shouyi''s death.


    Seeing the Poison Lotus of Thousand Poisons, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but marvel. It was on par with the red cloud, and the two were in a stalemate. At this time, Brahman Sa had already protected Yin Jin and freed her hands.


    She kept casting magical techniques, and at the same time chanting incantations. The red cloud split in an instant, one part continued to resist the Poison Lotus, and the other part shot at Thousand Poisons.


    Brahman Sa firmly believed that as long as the red cloud covered Thousand Poisons, he would definitely be annihted. She had already nned to capture the soul of Thousand Poisons and let him wail in the Blood Demon Banner for thousands of years. Anyone who dared to seriously injure her husband must make Thousand Poisons regret for eternity, regrettinging into this world!


    "Freeze!"


    "Destroy!"


    "Freeze! Wisdom! Intelligence!"


    "Silence! Destroy! Death!"


    Thousand Poisons spat out the mantra, his hand flicking the prayer beads. When the mantra and the prayer beadsbined, arge shadow of prayer beads struck out.


    The innate suppression of demons by Evolutionary Immortality was fully demonstrated at this moment.


    The chilling screams shook people''s hearts. In an instant, arge number of skeletons in the red cloud disappeared, the original pungent smell of blood gradually faded, and even the red cloud itself dimmed.


    Brahman Sa''s face changed drastically. She had always been wary of Thousand Poisons, knowing that this guy was born of Evolutionary Immortality. She just didn''t expect that he could restrain her Blood Demon Banner so much!


    This blow reduced the power of the Blood Demon Banner by 10%. Originally, after killing Ban Jin, as long as the Blood Demon Banner digested it, it could increase a lot of power. But after being hit by Thousand Poisons, not only did it wear away this part of the growth, but it also reduced the overall power of the Blood Demon Banner, which made her shudder with heartache.


    Thousand Poisons, however, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was fighting against a demonic treasure, and he didn''t have much confidence in the first ce. Seeing that the mantra was so restraining to the Blood Demon Banner, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.


    Since he could suppress it, Thousand Poisons didn''t mind killing this couple. Heunched another attack.


    Mi Xiaojing watched in awe. The battle at the Elemental Infant stage, especially the battle of magical treasures, really opened his eyes.


    Wang Weijun said, "Such treasures, although powerful and sharp in battle, the truly powerful ones are still swords! The real sword is not only a weapon, but also a guarantee of one''s own cultivation level. However, your situation is special, the path you are taking... hmm, you can refer to the path of Thousand Poisons, but he is not as good as you!"


    Why he was not as good, Wang Weijun didn''t say a word, because he knew in his heart that Mi Xiaojing had the Mantra Banner, and anything was possible. He had seen enough of the magic of the Mantra Banner, which could definitely turn decay into magic.


    Both of them were watching the battle. Mi Xiaojing kept casting magical techniques, guiding the battlefield to move in the direction they needed, forcing the core of therge array towards the Xuanbing Pir.


    Brahman Sa had the idea of retreating, not because she felt she couldn''t beat Thousand Poisons, but because she was eager to save Yin Jin. This was the most important thing at the moment. Once Yin Jin died, even if she killed Thousand Poisons, she would not be able to ept it.


    Thousand Poisons, however, had no intention of leaving. He knew that once the other party left, once they left the Heart Sect, they would be mortal enemies in the future, and they would have to fight to the death when they met.


    He knew that he was alone, while the other party was a pair. One was at the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, and the other was in thete stage of the Elemental Infant. If the two of them joined forces, he would have to retreat. If they found some helpers, he might not be able to escape.


    Now was a great opportunity to eliminate future troubles. One of them was seriously injured, and the other was suppressed by his mantra.


    One wanted to leave, and the other wanted to fight. The one who wanted to leave was very ufortable. After several collisions, Brahman Sa was really angry. She had never suffered such a loss before. If it weren''t for her husband''s injury, she would have fought hard.


    Seeing that the Blood Demon Banner was not very effective, Brahman Sa had to recall it. This thing was still very useful for protection, and at the same time, she wrapped Yin Jin into the Blood Demon Banner for protection.The fight between the two became increasingly fierce, and they were constantly moving. Even without using her magical treasure, Brahman Sa''s own strength was quite formidable, and Thousand Poisons was not gaining any advantage for the time being.


    Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun''s attention had shifted, no longer watching the battle, but focusing on the core of the formation. This silver light cluster was already close to the mysterious ice pir.


    How to enter the silver light cluster became Wang Weijun''s problem. As long as they found the right way, Mi Xiaojing could enter it. Although there was a certain risk, the benefits were absolutely sufficient. Both Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun thought this risk was worth taking.


    Wang Weijun''s concept was that ancient ruins, no matter what kind, even if they had been excavated, as long as they got the news, they must go and search.


    This was a process ofpeting in knowledge, experience, and insight. As long as they got a good item, it could greatly help their cultivation level.


    Even if there were no treasures, going in to gain some insight and broaden their horizons was also worthwhile. Theyout and knowledge of the ancient cultivators were precious heritage for any cultivator.


    Mi Xiaojing used one set of magical techniques and incantations after another, gradually influencing the core of the formation. During this time, Wang Weijun was constantly helping to correct, trying to get the core of the formation closer.


    The people in the Mysterious Heaven Formation were still struggling. Brahman Sa and Thousand Poisons were still in a life-and-death battle, but these could no longer attract Mi Xiaojing''s attention. His eyes were fixed on the core of the formation not far away.


    At this time, he was less than ten meters away from the core. Mi Xiaojing could see clearly that the core of the formation was like a light balloon, floating up and down not far away.


    ].


    Wang Weijun was also very nervous, saying, "The second set of magical techniques and incantations should bring the core closer."

 Chapter 238: Phantom

    <h4>Chapter 238: Phantom</h4>


    The things in the Cultivation World, if seen by mortals, many arepletely iprehensible, and it is the same for cultivators. All kinds of magic, all kinds of incredible, no one can know everything.


    However, the more you see, the less strange you will feel.


    As for the core of therge formation, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t understand it. It looked like a silver light ball the size of a child''s fist. Why did Wang Weijun say that there were treasures hidden inside? He even wanted to find a way to get in. He had been pondering, how to get into such a small light ball?


    Wang Weijun taught him a set of detection magical techniques and incantations, allowing Mi Xiaojing to test bit by bit. As for the people in therge formation, the two of them no longer cared. Anyway, these people couldn''t get out of therge formation for a while.


    Even if Thousand Poisons and Brahman Sa were fighting fiercely, Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun didn''t take another look. They no longer needed to pay attention to these two. All their attention was on the core of therge formation.


    ording to Wang Weijun''s guess, this should be an unexplored treasurend. The core of this formation is the best ce to hide treasures, because once the formation is forcibly broken, the core of therge formation will also be destroyed.


    If there is no correct method of entry, it will never be discovered and utilized.


    And now, Wang Weijun is looking for the correct method.


    Mi Xiaojing was still constantly casting magical techniques and incantations, making his head dizzy. Since he didn''t know when Wang Weijun would find a way, he could only keep trying until Wang Weijun called a halt.


    There was a time limit. Once the core of therge formation drifted away from this ce, it would be quite difficult to drag it back, and it might even be impossible.


    Mi Xiaojing was very nervous, sess or failure was at stake. He was already standing in front of the treasure. As long as he opened the door, he could gain a lot.


    Excited and expectant, Mi Xiaojing strictly followed Wang Weijun''s instructions, constantly casting magical techniques and incantations. This was all he could do. Due to his limited knowledge, he couldn''t help with other things.


    Obey orders and don''t mess things up!


    This point especially satisfied Wang Weijun. He was afraid that Mi Xiaojing would act on his own, which would easily ruin things. In that case, he might not be willing to give guidance. Now, under his guidance, the core of therge formation was less than five or six meters away from the control position, which was very close.


    "We''re very close now, is there a way to get in?"


    "Don''t rush, use this magical technique!"


    Wang Weijun taught him another magical technique, which was a brand new one.


    This magical technique was a bit special, different from the ones Mi Xiaojing usually used. Just posing made him feel extremely awkward. But what was strange was that this magical technique was verypatible with the power of the Starry Sky. He instantly understood and said, "An ancient magical technique?"


    "Hmm, I don''t know many, but this magical technique should be useful."


    Before Wang Weijun could finish speaking, Mi Xiaojing had already cast the magical technique.


    Suddenly, the silver light ball moved and shot towards Mi Xiaojing. The speed was incredibly fast. Before he could react, the entire silver light ball swallowed Mi Xiaojing.


    One moment it was dark, the next it was bright. Then, Mi Xiaojing found himself sitting on a pile of white gravel.


    This was a very small space, surrounded by a mysterious aura. This aura was shing with a silver glow, like a solid object. The ce where Mi Xiaojing was sitting was also not big, about ten square meters. There were eighteen semi-transparent pirs, each as thick as an adult''s thigh and about five meters high, inserted into the silver mysterious aura above his head.


    Mi Xiaojing could see clearly that there was nothing around except for the eighteen pirs.


    Mi Xiaojing was disappointed: "There''s nothing here!"


    Wang Weijun didn''t speak, he was observing the surroundings through Mi Xiaojing.


    After a while, Mi Xiaojing tried to stand up. As soon as his body moved, he heard Wang Weijun''s warning.


    "This is an illusion, sit down and don''t move!"


    Mi Xiaojing immediately dared not make any movements, sitting honestly. However, his head was constantly turning, observing the surroundings. He always thought his eyes were good, but he couldn''t see what this illusion was, that is, the so-called mirage.


    "Is it a mirage?"


    "Try this magical technique!"


    Mi Xiaojing cast the magical technique as instructed, and the surrounding mirage shook violently, as if someone had touched the calm water surface with a finger. The ripples spread out and returned to normal in a few moments.


    It really was a mirage. Mi Xiaojing admired in his heart. The originally disappointed mood was once again lifted.


    Mi Xiaojing was happy: "It seems to work!"


    Wang Weijunughed proudly: "So it is. I didn''t expect to test it out with one magical technique. Haha,e, use this magical technique again, plus an incantation. I believe there will be no problem this time."


    Mi Xiaojing did as instructed. In an instant, the eighteen semi-transparent pirs suddenly turned white, like water freezing into ice, and then quickly retreated. Mi Xiaojing felt the space around him expanding.


    The ripplespletely spread out, and a new space appeared in front of Mi Xiaojing.


    A strange fragrance hit his nose, and the rich spiritual Qi turned into a fine rain. The ground was covered with ayer of thin green nts as fine as cow hair. Under each ice pir, there was a long table, a total of eighteen.


    Half of the tables had nothing on them, while the other half were shining with Treasure Light. On each table, there were at least one treasure, and at most two or three.


    Mi Xiaojing sat on the ground,pletely stunned. This was the first time he had seen the treasures left by the ancient cultivators. His heart was beating wildly with excitement. He had never seen such a treasure before.


    Then he saw a skeleton lying not far away. There was actually a dead person here!Upon seeing the skeletal remains, Mi Xiaojing instinctively began to chant the mantra. This was a habit of Evolutionary Immortality, and Mi Xiaojing had inherited this habit as well.


    Mi Xiaojing''s mantra power was very strong. With the blessing of the Mantra Banner, its power was extraordinary. As he began to chant the mantra, one by one, the Spirit Scripts flew into the skeletal remains. In just a moment, a phantom rose from the remains, slightly bowed to Mi Xiaojing, and then disappeared without a trace.


    Wang Weijun waited until Mi Xiaojing stopped chanting before he said, "Interesting, there''s still a bit of true spirit left."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What do you mean?"


    "This person was quite powerful. Even if the Elemental Infant has dissipated, a bit of true spirit was still left. Your mantra just now dispersed his true spirit, but it also gave him a chance for reincarnation. Otherwise, if the true spirit does not disperse, he would be forever lost here."


    "Isn''t it over when the Elemental Infant dissipates? Where does the true spirite from?"


    "This is thest resort. If the Elemental Infant is still there, there is a possibility of survival. But this person here must have been deceived by illusions and never came out. His physical body was tortured to death here, and the Elemental Infant could not enter the treasurend, so he waspletely trapped until he was exhausted. It''s quite tragic."


    "What could an Elemental Infant do if it entered the treasurend?"


    To be continued in the next chapter.

 Chapter 239: Qianbao Yunli Dan!

    <h4>Chapter 239: Qianbao Yunli Dan!</h4>


    Wang Weijun sneered, "If he knew the method to cultivate as a Loose Immortal, we would be in trouble foring in here..."


    Mi Xiaojing now understood the power of a Loose Immortal. A single cmity Loose Immortal could stand against a master in the Mahayana stage, and a three cmity Loose Immortal could evenpete with a master at the peak of the Mahayana stage.


    As for Loose Immortals who had survived four or more cmities, they were rarely seen in the Cultivation World. They were extremely rare entities, and even masters in the Mahayana stage would find it difficult to encounter them.


    A Loose Immortal! How could that be possible!


    Mi Xiaojing was somewhat incredulous. How could one cultivate to be a Loose Immortal in a ce like this?


    "Don''t believe it? Hmph, if this person had the method to cultivate as a Loose Immortal and was ruthless enough to perform the Martial Arts Exnation, coupled with sufficient resources, it would absolutely be possible to be a Loose Immortal. Especially in this exceptionally secluded ce, where ordinary people can''t enter. As long as the resources are in ce, the sess rate is definitely higher than in the outside world!"


    "Why didn''t he cultivate into a Loose Immortal then?"


    "Look at him closely. He was reluctant to perform the Martial Arts Exnation, which led to him falling into a deep sleep. It''s a pity... It''s a pity that no one came to his rescue. In the end, he exhausted all the energy of his Elemental Infant. He was really finished. This guy was probably gambling on his luck, but he lost. The price was... what you see now."


    Mi Xiaojing was shocked, "He would rather fall into a deep sleep than perform the Martial Arts Exnation. Didn''t he know that this was a dead end?"


    "A dead end? Not necessarily. Maybe he had an appointment, or maybe he knew someone woulde. There''s no need to look for the reason. Anyway, this person is dead. Thest bit of his true spirit was also sent off by your true words. He was lucky. Didn''t you see his true spirit bowing to you?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it. And, my Evolutionary Immortality strength has increased a bit."


    "That''s the best oue. If it were me, I would definitely not let go of the true spirit in the corpse. That thing has many uses. What you did was somewhat wasteful."


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless. Some of the methods in the Cultivation World, especially those targeting cultivators themselves, were truly terrifying. For example, the use of the Golden Elixir, the use of the Elemental Infant, and the use of the soul. Even if a cultivator became a ghost, the ghost could be used.


    "Are there any more restrictions or traps? Is it safe here now?" Staring at the surrounding tables, Mi Xiaojing''s eyes lit up. These were all treasures!


    "No more, it''s very safe after you enter here."


    Mi Xiaojing slowly stood up. The Treasure Light had attracted him for a long time. He no longer thought about the person in the Mysterious Heaven Formation and slowly walked to a table.


    The table was long, made of white jade, one meter wide and five meters long. It was simple, rustic, and atmospheric. There was only one treasure on it.


    It was a green gourd. Mi Xiaojing observed it carefully. It seemed to be carved out of green jade, with faint cloud patterns, like the clouds in the sky. This was the scene formed by the spirit patterns. Ayer of Treasure Light emerged, making it look extremely beautiful.


    A gourd? What a beautiful gourd!


    Mi Xiaojing knew that this was not an ordinary gourd, but a treasure that had been refined. However, he had no idea what the gourd was used for. After all,pared to Wang Weijun, his knowledge was far too limited. He was not very clear about many of themonly used treasures in the Cultivation World.


    "What is this used for?"


    He reached out and grabbed the gourd. The gourd was only the size of a teapot, just right to hold in his hand. There was a stopper on top of the gourd. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but want to pull it off, but after pulling hard twice, it didn''t move at all. It was as if the stopper and the gourd were originally one piece.


    "This is restricted. The first time you have to use a Magical Technique to open it. After that, you can do as you please. However, you should not be in a hurry. This is a Nine-Turn Dan Gourd!"


    "Nine-Turn Dan Gourd? For storing elixirs? It sounds very precious."


    "Precious, not really. This thing was popr in ancient times, but then it disappeared. It''s usually found in ruins. The Nine-Turn Dan Gourd itself is not much, but the Spirit Pill inside... if there is one, that''s the real treasure!"


    Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaojing''s heart warmed. He was originally indifferent, but after being trained by Wang Weijun for a long time, he now craved treasures.


    Mi Xiaojing was very clear that treasures were also a part of one''s strength. If he obtained them, his strength would increase. If there were Spirit Pills in this gourd, especially Spirit Pills that he couldn''t refine himself, how great would that be!


    He cast a Magical Technique with one hand, and as he saw a wisp of green smoke emerging from the stopper, Wang Weijun said, "Alright, you can open it now. Don''t open it all the way, just a crack is enough. Hmm... you must hold onto the stopper with all your strength, don''t let go, and use your Divine Sense to look!"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, carefully opened a crack, and immediately a rich fragrance of elixir wafted out. Just by taking a sniff, he felt refreshed and couldn''t help but praise, "It smells so good! This elixir is powerful!"


    ng!


    A huge force hit the stopper. If it weren''t for Wang Weijun''s prior warning, Mi Xiaojing might have let go due to the sudden impact.


    He quickly plugged the stopper back in and eximed in shock, "What the hell is that?"


    The crack just now was enough for Wang Weijun to check with his Divine Sense. In just an instant, he almost went crazy.


    Qianbao Yunli Dan!


    A treasure pill used by masters in the Body Fusion stage to break through. It was a level higher than the Spirit Pill. Even with Wang Weijun''s knowledge, he had never heard of anyone who could refine it. If he had had this kind of treasure pill back then, he wouldn''t havee out at all. He would have hidden and cultivated until he broke through to the Mahayana stage.


    .


    It was actually this kind of treasure pill, and it had been gestating for many years. This Qianbao Yunli Dan was definitely considered a three-turn treasure pill!


    Although it hadn''t developed a spiritual intelligence yet, it already knew how to escape.Just after seeing a single treasure, such a great surprise was already in store. Unfortunately, although Mi Xiaojing was good at alchemy, he only learned to refine mid to low-level spirit pills. He couldn''t even refine high-level spirit pills, let alone divine pills.


    The Qianbao Yunli Pill, even among divine pills, was considered a high-grade item. Its value was simply priceless!


    "This is a third-grade divine pill!"


    Wang Weijun waspletely taken aback. He was regretful and upset. He couldn''t imagine that the Heart Sect, a cultivation sect like this, secretly possessed such a treasure. If he had even the slightest hint of this before, he would have destroyed the sect at all costs, just for this divine pill.


    But now, even if Mi Xiaojing got this divine pill, he couldn''t use it. This reality made him feelpletely deted, his mind a mess. This was too absurd.


    Mi Xiaojing had no concept of a third-grade divine pill, but he caught onto one word.


    "Only one?"


    Mi Xiaojing thought it was too few. He had assumed that in such a gourd, there would be at least ten or eight pills. One was too few!


    Upon hearing this, Wang Weijun jumped up, hopping around on the Heart Tower, "One... You ignorant boy, do you know what this is? This one pill is worth a thousand Yangshen Pills! This is a divine pill! And it''s a high-grade pill among divine pills, a third-grade divine pill. It''s a priceless treasure!"


    In October, we ranked 15th on the monthly ticket list. Thank you all for your support and love during the National Day holiday. Hmm... After a few days of rest, I feel a bit better. There will be three updates tomorrow. I, Old Xiao, will try my best to give you a mini explosion of updates. (.)

 Chapter 240: Great harvest

    <h4>Chapter 240: Great harvest</h4>


    Exciting and ad-free! Mi Xiaojing hurriedly reassured, "Yes, yes, a treasure pill, um... a third-grade treasure pill, I understand."


    "You understand nothing! Once this pill is discovered by others, you''re dead!"


    .


    Mi Xiaojing jumped in fright, "Ah? What does that have to do with me?"


    "The treasure pill is in your hands, so it has everything to do with you!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked in confusion, "Is this pill really that good?"


    Wang Weijun replied, "You may not need it, but for high-level cultivators, it''s a real treasure, something they would do anything to obtain!"


    "This Nine-Turn Pill Gourd is the best container for storing Spirit Pills. Although it''s not extremely rare, it''s still a good item for you. The quality of the Spirit Pills stored inside will gradually improve. You should keep it for now."


    Mi Xiaojing, still somewhat confused, put the Nine-Turn Pill Gourd into his bracelet and then moved to another table.


    All eighteen tables looked exactly the same. On the table in front of Mi Xiaojing, there were two items. One of them was an exquisitely made Immortal Pouch, only the size of a palm. It seemed to be enveloped in clouds and mist, with cranes flying around it, and you could vaguely see pavilions and towers.


    Mi Xiaojing, who had never seen such a thing, asked, "What is this?"


    "An Immortal Pouch, used for storage. Don''tpare it with a storage bag. Although both are used for storage, the Immortal Pouch is a high-level treasure, while the storage bag is used by low-level cultivators. They can''t bepared at all, the difference is huge."


    "What''s so special about it?"


    "An Immortal Pouch can be stored inside the body. Most importantly, even a master can''t detect the items inside the pouch with their Divine Sense."


    Storing items inside the body is a standard, and there are not many treasures that can be stored in this way. They are generally very high-level. For cultivators, there are certain restrictions on storing items inside the body. However, Mi Xiaojing is different. He is advancing in both Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation. Previous events have proven that he can store many things inside his body because he has the Heart Tower.


    Not only can the Immortal Pouch be stored inside the body, but it can even be stored inside the Elemental Infant. Wang Weijun has one in his hand.


    The Immortal Pouch is different from other storage items in that it needs to be slightly refined before it can be opened and used. This refining process is very simple. Under Wang Weijun''s guidance, Mi Xiaojing quickly refined it and then understood that the nature of this Immortal Pouch is actually no different from a Spirit Sword. It also recognizes its master.


    When he opened the Immortal Pouch, Mi Xiaojing found that there were quite a few Spirit Stones inside. There were as many as ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, and there were also some fist-sized boxes, seventeen in total. He took out one of the boxes.


    The box was made of jade, square in shape, and sealed with a prohibition. It was the size of a palm. Mi Xiaojing unlocked the seal and found a sky-blue object inside that looked neither like gold nor stone.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What is this?"


    Wang Weijun had already be numb. Like Mi Xiaojing, he could see the items inside the Immortal Pouch, "Immortal Stone! It''s useless to you. It''s a treasure used by Rogue Cultivators and Dacheng-stage Cultivators. It''s very rare in the Cultivation World, and there are so many here!"


    Mi Xiaojing couldn''t use the Immortal Stone, but the ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones made him a fortune. In the Cultivation World, high-grade Spirit Stones are standard hard currency. The real cirction is low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Just like in the mortal world, copper coins and gold have a simr rtionship. Copper coins are the currencymonly used by ordinary people, while gold is only used inrge transactions.


    Originally, Mi Xiaojing was worried about where to put the Nine-Turn Pill Gourd. You should know that once a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage takes a closer look, the Nine-Turn Pill Gourd will be discovered, and the consequences are unimaginable.


    Especially inside this Nine-Turn Pill Gourd, there is a Qianbao Yunli Pill, which is a third-grade treasure pill. Once it is discovered, Mi Xiaojing won''t be able to survive. Killing for treasure is the only possibility.


    However, with the appearance of the Immortal Pouch, this problem was naturally solved. Good things are put in the Immortal Pouch, and worthless things are put in the bracelet and storage bag. Even if the bracelet and storage bag are stolen, it''s not a big deal. This is the greatest use of the Immortal Pouch.


    On this table, besides the Immortal Pouch, there was another treasure. Mi Xiaojing stored the Immortal Pouch inside his body and then walked a few steps to this item.


    A white bottle, one foot tall, with a thin neck and a big belly, shaped like a swan floating on the water. Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "What is this? It looks so strange..."


    "This is a Goose Bottle, used by Ancient Cultivators to store Spirit Wine."


    "A wine bottle!"


    Mi Xiaojing had heard of wine, but he had never drunk it before.


    Seeing such a uniquely shaped wine bottle for the first time in his life, Mi Xiaojing was curious. He said, "It seems to have a prohibition. I''ll try to unlock it."


    Mi Xiaojing was gradually bing proficient in this method of removing prohibitions. With a wave of his hand, he unlocked the prohibition, touched the goose''s head, and the goose''s mouth opened. Immediately, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.


    Just by taking a sniff, Mi Xiaojing felt a bit dizzy. He had never smelled such a fragrance before.


    "You can''t drink this wine. It''s been aged for too long. You can mix it with other Spirit Wines in the future. Forget it, you''re just a kid, don''t get addicted. This kind of wine, once you start drinking it, you''ll get hooked."


    Mi Xiaojing kept swallowing his saliva. The aroma of the wine made him want to try it.


    After resealing it, Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay much attention to it and directly put it into his storage bracelet.


    This time, even Wang Weijun was taken aback. This was not just Spirit Wine, to be precise, it should be called Immortal Spirit Wine, and it was a top-grade Immortal Spirit Wine. After countless years of aging, its quality was much better than the Immortal Spirit Wine that was originally put in.


    When the Immortal Spirit Wine was first put in, there was a thousand jin. After so many years, only three hundred jin was left. It could be said to be a priceless treasure.Immortal Spirit Wine, low and mid-level cultivators cannot drink it directly. If they want to drink it, they must mix it with new wine. Only cultivators at the Body Fusion stage or above can have a little. If they are masters at the Mahayana stage, there is basically no problem. Loose Immortals can also drink it freely.


    There were still seven cases with items left. Mi Xiaojing came to another case again and saw a green jade te on it. The te was full of round beads, about thirty or so.


    Deadly Thousand Thunder!


    Wang Weijun recognized it. This was a one-time treasure that could only be refined by cultivators at the Body Fusion stage or above, or by rogue cultivators. Its power was immense.


    Mi Xiaojing counted them, a total of thirty-seven. Among them, the red ones were the most, sixteen, and there were fourteen ck Deadly Thousand Thunders, and thest seven were purple.


    After Wang Weijun briefly exined, Mi Xiaojing understood. Deadly Thousand Thunder also had different levels. The most basic was red, often refined by cultivators from the Body Fusion stage to the early Mahayana stage, or by Loose Immortals who had survived one tribtion. The ck ones were even more powerful, at least refined by those in thete Mahayana stage or Loose Immortals who had survived three tribtions.


    As for the purple Deadly Thousand Thunder, it was already at the Immortal level. Its power was incredibly immense. Even Loose Immortals and masters at the Mahayana stage would have to retreat three steps when encountering this kind of Deadly Thousand Thunder.


    "What a pity, you can''t use any of them!"


    The early bird catches the worm. Hmm, I got up especially early today, you know, let''s get to work! Here''s the first update. (.)

 Chapter 241: Spear and Sword

    <h4>Chapter 241: Spear and Sword</h4>


    "Why can''t I use it? I should be able to detonate the Deadly Thousand Thunder."


    "And then?"


    "What do you mean ''and then''?"


    "Then you won''t be able to escape either! You''ll be doomed by the aftermath of the explosion!"


    "Uh, okay, I won''t use it."


    Mi Xiaojing had no choice but to put the Deadly Thousand Thunder into his Immortal Pouch.


    Wang Weijun reminded him, "It''s best to put the goose bottle into the Immortal Pouch as well."


    Mi Xiaojing asked in confusion, "Why?"


    "Because it''s an ancient artifact. Having it proves that you''ve obtained treasures from the ruins. How will you deal with it if someone notices?"


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly realized. The goose bottle was not amon item in the current Cultivation World. He nodded and said, "I understand."


    He immediately put the goose bottle into the Immortal Pouch. Mi Xiaojing had to admit that he was not as careful as Wang Weijun in this regard.


    The next treasure on the table was covered by ayer of prohibition. It was two ancient spears, fighting each other within the prohibition, making a faint clinking sound.


    Mi Xiaojing felt like his horizons were broadened. This was the first time he had seen sentient weapons that could grind andpete against each other.


    The ancient spear was one of the favorite weapons of ancient cultivators, but no one refines them now. These two ancient spears were top-grade spiritual weapons. Through self-grinding, they were almost reaching the level of treasure weapons. Their quality was quite good.


    Mi Xiaojing observed carefully. The ancient spear was about two palms long, half of it was the handle, and the other half was the spearhead. It looked small and exquisite, shimmering with a faint halo.


    The spearhead was cyan-gold, and the handle was ck. The two ancient spears looked exactly the same, suspended in the prohibition, asionally colliding with each other, sparking a string of tiny sparks.


    Wang Weijun was also observing. He said, "These are good ancient spears, but it''s a pity you can''t use them!"


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless, "Whether I can use them or not, I can''t just leave them here, can I?"


    Wang Weijun said, "It''s also troublesome to collect them. You need a specific magical technique. If you''re not careful, you might not be able to collect them."


    Mi Xiaojing really liked these two ancient spears. The main reason was not their power, but their beauty. Their exquisite craftsmanship would involuntarily generate a good impression.


    He asked, "What should I do?"


    Mi Xiaojing knew that since Wang Weijun said so, there must be a way. After spending so much time together, he had an unspeakable trust in Wang Weijun. It seemed that this guy was omnipotent and knew everything.


    This was obviously Mi Xiaojing being blind. With his current strength, the things he came into contact with were basically low-level. These were not stressful for Wang Weijun.


    In fact, there were many things that Wang Weijun didn''t understand or couldn''t do. It''s just that Mi Xiaojing hadn''t seen them yet.


    Once Mi Xiaojing also reached the height of the Body Fusion stage, he would be able to master Wang Weijun''s knowledge and experience, and might even surpass him.


    After some effort, he finally collected the two ancient spears. Mi Xiaojing found that there was a word on each of the ancient spears. One was the ancient word "stop", and the other was the ancient word "yang".


    One was called Stop Spear, and the other was called Yang Spear. This was a pair of spears.


    The grade of this pair of spears was very high. Unless Mi Xiaojing reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he could barely use them. He couldn''t use them at all now because his cultivation level was too low.


    He also put them into the Immortal Pouch. Although he couldn''t use them for the time being, they were indeed real treasures.


    Mi Xiaojing muttered, "Why isn''t there a sword?"


    "In ancient times, either they didn''t use swords, or the swords they used were extremely powerful and of high quality. Unlike the current cultivators, everyone has a sword, whether they are human or ghost. They have almost worn out the real ancient swords. There is a big difference between the ancient swords and the current ones."


    "Hmm, there''s a sword."


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly saw a very small sword floating on a table not far away. He had never seen such a small sword before. It was like a toy, no more than three inches long. If you didn''t look carefully, you might overlook it.


    He quickly stepped forward. There were a few other items on the table next to him, but Mi Xiaojing didn''t pay attention to them for the time being. He went straight for the strange sword.


    Three inches long, semi-transparent. If it weren''t for the halo emitted by the sword body and the extremely thin Silver Radiance sprayed from the sword tip, Mi Xiaojing wouldn''t have noticed this sword.


    "This sword is so strange!"


    "Treasure weapon!"


    Wang Weijun felt bitter in his heart. A treasure weapon was a level higher than a spiritual weapon. The Wind Thunder Sword he had originally was a treasure weapon, but it was shattered by someone with one blow.


    The sword in front of him was definitely not a low-grade treasure weapon. Its quality was better than his Wind Thunder Sword back then. However, he was not clear about the name and function of this sword.


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed, "Wow, a treasure weapon level sword, now I have a good weapon!"


    "Don''t dream. You can only use the early stage of the spirit sword and can''t exert its maximum power. As for the treasure weapon level sword, you can''t control it at all during the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can barely collect it into your body. As for using it, hehe."


    Mi Xiaojing smiled bitterly. This was a big blow. The treasure sword he had obtained couldn''t be used, which was really depressing.


    When he collected the sword, Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were words on the sword body, "It''s strange, there are words on all the ancient weapons!"


    Yin Yao!


    Yin Yao Ancient Sword!


    This Yao has two meanings. One is the meaning of escape, and the other is the meaning of demon spirit. That is to say, there is a demon spirit in this sword.


    Mi Xiaojing was already quite familiar with the ancient text. He understood the special features of this sword at a nce. However, he didn''t have the ability to tame this sword for the time being, so he had to put it into the Immortal Pouch.


    Although he had collected another good sword, Mi Xiaojing still felt regretful. It was not because the things he got were not good, but because his cultivation level was not enough. Due to his own reasons, he couldn''tin about anything.


    There were nine tables with items. Mi Xiaojing had already collected from four tables, leaving five tables. He was very hopeful that he could find some things he could use.


    So far, the things he had obtained, the Nine Turns Danhu, and the Three Turns Baodan, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t use.The Immortal Pouch can be used, and the top-grade Spirit Stones inside it can be used, but the Immortal Spirit Stones cannot be used.


    He still doesn''t know that the wine in the goose bottle is Immortal Spirit Wine, which actually cannot be drunk.


    Thirty-seven Deadly Thousand Thunders, cannot be used!


    A pair of ancient spears, Zhi Ge and Yang Ge, both cannot be used!


    The Hidden Ancient Sword, cannot be used!


    Mi Xiaojing bitterly smiled. All of these were high-grade items, but the vast majority of them couldn''t be used. It was truly a bit tragic. He could only hope that the next item would be usable.


    He arrived at a table full of anticipation.


    An ancientmp, one foot tall.


    Thismp was very peculiar. Themp base was a seated figure, holding amp column in its arms, with amp tray on top. Themp column and tray were not the main point, but the seated figure was.


    Although the figure was only the size of a toy, it was lifelike. It was a bald old man with a white beard, his face aged. On his upper body, the skin decorations were actually spiritual patterns. His legs were crossed in a seated position, with themp column resting on them. A deep blue robe was tied around his waist, covering his legs.


    On themp tray, a point of purple light flickered. It was a tiny me, the size of a bean.


    "This figure looks just like a real person."


    Hmm, there will be another update tonight, but it might be a bitte. Old Xiao is still working hard on typing. Friends who can''t wait can read it tomorrow.

 Chapter 242: Broken palm!

    <h4>Chapter 242: Broken palm!</h4>


    "Like a real person? This is a real person!"


    "What? A real person?!"


    "Thismp was refined from the Shedding of a high-level Cultivator, at least from the early stages of a Great Vehicle Cultivator!"


    Mi Xiaojing was taken aback. Could a person be refined into a treasure?


    "How is that possible?"


    "In the Cultivation World, nothing is impossible. Look carefully at the top of this person''s head, isn''t there an ornament?"


    Mi Xiaojing leaned in to look at the back of the person''s head. Sure enough, there was a piece of pale silver material embedded in the back of the head. Suddenly, he realized.


    "This person has undergone Martial Arts Exnation!"


    Wang Weijun said, "That''s right, this is a Shedding after Martial Arts Exnation, refined throughplex methods."


    Mi Xiaojing waspletely stunned. What use could amp made from a person have? He once again felt the cruelty of the Cultivation World. Even in death, one''s body could be used. It was truly terrifying.


    Mi Xiaojing pointed at the bean-sized purple me on themp tray and asked, "What kind of fire is this? Why can''t I feel the heat of the me?"


    Wang Weijun''s attention had been on the Shedding. He had also undergone Martial Arts Exnation, so he was filled with sorrow and hadn''t noticed the me on themp tray.


    Hearing Mi Xiaojing''s words, Wang Weijun finally shifted his attention. With just one nce, he was shocked.


    "Heavenly Fire! It''s actually Heavenly Fire... This is the legendary fire!"


    "What? What is Heavenly Fire?"


    "Purple Flower Heavenly Fire!"


    Wang Weijun was horrified. The treasures in the core of this Ancient Formation were too terrifying. He didn''t know who had left them, but they were of such high quality. He had never expected to find Heavenly Fire here.


    Purple Flower Heavenly Fire, a treasure of heaven and earth, was said to exist only in the Immortal World. Seeing it here, Wang Weijun sighed inwardly. If he had obtained these treasures back then, he wouldn''t have been beaten into Martial Arts Exnation. It was a pity and a regret that he had no fate with these treasures.

    "Put it away. You can''t use this ancientmp."


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know whether to be happy or disappointed. There were many treasures, but few he could use. His Cultivation level was a hard limit. Even if he was at the Foundation Establishment stage now, it would be slightly better.


    Once again, he put it into his Immortal Pouch. This was already the fifth case, with four remaining. He didn''t know what treasures woulde next.


    Inside the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    The battle between Thousand Poisons and Brahman Sa had reached a fever pitch. Brahman Sa was so entangled by Thousand Poisons that she was furious, attacking recklessly.


    Having sessfully provoked the other party, Thousand Poisons breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Brahman Sa didn''t retreat, he had a chance to severely injure her.


    In fact, Thousand Poisons wanted to kill both Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, but he knew in his heart that it was possible to severely injure them, but killing them would be extremely difficult.


    The two shed, and Thousand Poisons'' Poison Lotus sprayed out like money was no object.


    Thousand Poisons was very strong, and his methods of attack and defense were very strange, unpredictable. But fighting against Brahman Sa was still very difficult. This fat woman was not easy to deal with. Not only was she powerful, but she also had many strange and unusual treasures.


    Moreover, as the battle continued, the attack of the Mysterious Heaven Formation began to intensify. The two not only had to deal with each other, but also the attack of therge formation.


    Due to the two''s battle, therge formation became more violent, affecting the others. The experts in therge formation were all struggling.


    Brahman Sa didn''t use her magic treasure, she fought with Thousand Poisons purely with her Cultivation power. The two fought fiercely, and for a time, neither could do anything about the other. Instead, the super-strong attack of therge formation, over time, became more and more difficult for the two to bear.


    Gradually, Thousand Poisons began to have the idea of retreating. The battle here was too dangerous. If there was any slight change, it would be very difficult to handle.


    Brahman Sa was even more anxious. She used the Blood Demon g to protect Yin Jin, fearing that she wouldn''t have time to treat him.


    Thousand Poisons and Brahman Sa shed, and a huge force poured out. The two retreated at the same time. Without Mi Xiaojing''s control, there was no barrier to the battle circle. In an instant, the two disappeared into therge formation again, once again separated by therge formation.


    Thousand Poisons kept cursing, "Crazy woman... Damn it... Huh, she ran away..."


    Brahman Sa, taking advantage of the recoil, finally got rid of Thousand Poisons. Although she was extremely hateful in her heart, she didn''t have the intention to continue fighting.


    With a wave of her hand, the red cloud flew over. She quickly released Yin Jin. Seeing her husband''s condition, she was immediately horrified.


    She pressed a palm on Yin Jin''s back, and her true essence poured in like money was no object, forcibly driving the Poisonous Threads in Yin Jin''s body away, especially those that were about to reach the Elemental Infant. They had to be driven away. Once the Poisonous Threads entered the Elemental Infant, it would be truly incurable!


    With Brahman Sa''s strength, she could drive the Poisonous Threads to a certain part of the body, but she couldn''t drive them out of the body. However, she was an experienced expert after all. She made a decisive decision and directly forced the Poisonous Threads in Yin Jin''s body to his left arm, then continued to suppress them, forcing them to his palm.


    Yin Jin''s palm was already multicolored. The Poisonous Threads wriggled under his skin like countless small worms, making people feel nauseous.


    When all the Poisonous Threads were forced into his palm, Yin Jin finally woke up. He asked, "Did you kill Thousand Poisons?" He knew his wife''s strength and thought she should be able to kill Thousand Poisons.


    Brahman Sa''s face was pale. She said, "He ran away... I won''t let him go in the future!"


    Yin Jin was slightly stunned. "Is he that strong?"Brahman Sa said, "In a moment of anger, I used the Blood Demon g... I thought I could kill him, but I forgot that he was an Evolutionary Immortal. I made a mistake! But let''s not talk about that now. Don''t move, this hand can''t be saved. Bear with it!"


    As she spoke, a foot-long knife appeared in her hand. With a swing, Yin Jin''s palm fell off.


    Yin Jin''s face turned pale instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Good... it hurts so much!"


    Brahman Sa said, "Of course it hurts... Don''t move!" She crushed a Spirit Pill, which turned into a green mist and rushed to Yin Jin''s wrist, instantly stopping the bleeding. The wound''s skin and flesh also began to quickly congeal.


    She took out another Spirit Pill and fed it to Yin Jin. Brahman Saforted him in a gentle tone, "It''s just a hand, it''s not a big deal. We''ll find a recementter."


    Yin Jin nodded and said, "I won''t let Thousand Poisons get away with this!"


    A trace of fierceness shed across Brahman Sa''s face, "Don''t worry, we''ll find him!"


    Inside the Formation, the struggle of the Elemental Infant experts continued.


    The people from the Heart Sect were fine, they all had protective Magical Techniques. Although the Formation also attacked them, the force was much weaker. In contrast, the experts from the Vast Gold Sect were in a sorry state under the full attack of the Formation.


    However, apart from Ban Jin, who was killed by Brahman Sa, the others were in a sorry state, but there was no immediate danger to their lives.


    The most important thing was that Mi Xiaojing was not in control. This reduced many possibilities. If Mi Xiaojing had been secretly controlling it, who knows what would have happened.


    ......


    Phew... Finally finished writing. I kept my promise to update three times. I''ve been feeling pretty good these past few days, I''ll continue to work hard tomorrow!


    Also, I''m still seeking all kinds of support! (.)

 Chapter 243: Lord of Dao Tea

    <h4>Chapter 243: Lord of Dao Tea</h4>


    There were eighteen cases, nine of which were originally empty. Of the remaining half, Mi Xiaojing had collected treasures from five cases, leaving four more.


    Each treasure brought Mi Xiaojing both joy and frustration. They were all excellent treasures, but unfortunately, most of them were unusable for him. However, this alsoid a solid foundation for him. As his cultivation level increased, he would be able to utilize these treasures one day.


    Arriving at the next case, Mi Xiaojing saw three treasures. This was the case with the most items, and the Treasure Light on it was dazzling. The three treasures were lined up in a row.


    The first one was a round disk with a protruding center. Some characters appeared and disappeared intermittently. Mi Xiaojing recognized them as ancient texts, but he had no idea what the disk was used for.


    "Star Pulling Disk!"


    Wang Weijun recognized it, but he was also a bit puzzled. He had seen a real Star Pulling Disk before, and it was slightly different from the one in front of him. "Pick it up and take a closer look!"


    Mi Xiaojing picked up the disk as instructed.


    /p>


    "So that''s it. This is a Star Pulling Disk used for calction... It''s a type of Star Pulling Disk with two functions. One is for use between stars, and the other is for deducing the secrets of heaven. I don''t understand it very well either. Without guidance from predecessors, it''s impossible toprehend it on your own."


    Mi Xiaojing gave a bitter smile, "Another treasure I can''t use..."


    "It''s good that you can''t use it. If you could, it would mean that its level is too low! You should be grateful, not sad. You''re too obsessed!"


    "Yes, yes, I''m just a little regretful, not really upset... Yes, I am a bit obsessed. I should let go."


    Mi Xiaojing found it a bit funny. He had obtained so many treasures, yet he was still not satisfied. He deserved to be scolded. He realized that he shouldn''t let the treasures blind him. That was wrong!


    Once he let go of his obsession, Mi Xiaojing rxed. He put away the Star Pulling Disk and looked at the second treasure on the case.


    He finally understood that the treasures here were all for high-level cultivators. With his current cultivation level, it was difficult to resonate with these treasures. He considered them as collections for now, and it wouldn''t be toote to use them when his cultivation level improved.


    The second treasure was five star-shaped objects emitting a faint blue light. They didn''t look very conspicuous.


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help butugh, "This is quite good. It''s an Ancient Star Ring. Five stars form a ring. It''s a defensive treasure that can be stored inside the body and automatically protect the owner... I''m not sure if you can use it. You''ll have to try it to find out."


    Finally, a defensive treasure was found. Mi Xiaojing had always wanted something like this.


    "This thing needs time to refine. Let''s not do it now. Just keep it and refine it when you have time."


    Mi Xiaojing put away the Ancient Star Ring and looked at thest treasure on the case.


    Just one nce, and Mi Xiaojing eximed, "Mantra Heavenly Evolutionary Treasure Mirror! This is a scripture of the Evolutionary Sect!"


    Wang Weijun was not very familiar with the things of the Evolutionary Sect. This time, he didn''t recognize it, but Mi Xiaojing did.


    "It''s strange. Why is there a scripture of the Evolutionary Sect here?"


    Wang Weijun didn''t understand either. Both of them didn''t know that this thing was not a scripture of the Evolutionary Sect, but a scripture of the Buddhist Sect. Even Mi Xiaojing had always thought it was something of the Evolutionary Sect.


    The Heavenly Luo Shell Leaf, which served as the carrier of the scripture, wasposed of five Heavenly Luo Shell Leaves stacked together. When Mi Xiaojing opened it, the five shell leaves spread out on the case. The Mantra Banner couldn''t hold back and instantly, countless golden mantra chains emerged.


    Wang Weijun was almost scared out of his wits. Every time the Mantra Banner moved, he would suffer.


    Mi Xiaojing had experienced this many times. When the mantra chains appeared, he immediately stopped moving and waited quietly. He knew that every time the golden chains appeared, they would only bring benefits to him, not harm.


    The chains wrapped around him and disappeared in an instant. The scripture was nowhere to be seen. Mi Xiaojing immediately sank his Divine Sense into his Dan Tian and saw Wang Weijun squatting next to the Heart Tower, looking terrified.


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Old man, what''s wrong with you? Huh, where did the scripture go?"


    Wang Weijun shook his head repeatedly, "I don''t know!" In fact, he did know. The scripture had been directly dragged into the Mantra Banner. As for what happened afterward, he really didn''t know.


    Mi Xiaojing was a bit puzzled, but he soon let it go. Although he didn''t understand why the scripture disappeared, he knew that it wouldn''t really vanish. It must have been taken by the Heart Tower. But why the Heart Tower would do this, Mi Xiaojing really couldn''t figure it out.


    Not dwelling on it, Mi Xiaojing said, "There are three cases left. Let''s see what else there is."


    Wang Weijun was squatting on the Heart Tower, trembling with fear. The golden chains were still wrapped around the legs of his Elemental Infant. He was afraid that the Mantra Banner woulde to absorb his power again. After waiting for a few minutes and feeling nothing, Wang Weijun finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this time, the retrieval of the scripture had nothing to do with him.


    Next, Mi Xiaojing saw a green jar about two feet high with arge round belly. Unlike the previous treasures, this jar didn''t look very impressive.


    A simple prohibition sealed the mouth of the jar. Mi Xiaojing knew that he couldn''t open the lid like this. He didn''t dare to break the seal, not knowing what was inside the jar.


    After Wang Weijun found out that the Mantra Banner wasn''t draining his power, he immediately regained his spirits and said, "Open it, open it!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Just open it like this?"


    "If you don''t open it, how will you know what treasure is inside?"


    Mi Xiaojing thought about it and agreed. How would he know what was inside if he didn''t open it? He couldn''t always be like this, so he had to open it, even if there were risks involved.Upon unsealing, Mi Xiaojing had already mastered many such magical techniques and incantations, especially such simple ancient seals, which could not trouble him at all, and he didn''t even need to consult Wang Weijun.


    After unsealing, Mi Xiaojing''s hand tightly held the lid of the jar until he was sure there was no movement. Then he carefully lifted a small gap, probed with his Divine Sense, and then lifted the lid.


    Inside were full of crushed Spirit Stones, the size of soybeans, all of which were top-grade Spirit Stones. A rich aroma wafted out, refreshing the mind with a single sniff. It seemed to be the scent of tea!


    Gently pushing aside the crushed Spirit Stones, Mi Xiaojing saw a cylindrical object that seemed to be made of jade. He carefully picked up the top and gently lifted it, pulling out a cylinder about one foot and eight inches long.


    A rich tea fragrance hit his face.


    Wang Weijun eximed, "Dao of Sovereign Tea! It''s actually Dao of Sovereign Tea!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "What do you mean? What is Dao of Sovereign Tea?"


    Wang Weijun said, "Quickly put it back! This is a kind of Immortal Tea, I didn''t expect to find such a treasure... Stop looking, put it back quickly."


    Mi Xiaojing hurriedly put the jade column back, he didn''t even have time to examine it closely.


    "Seal it, quickly seal it up! Keep it safe, put it in the Immortal Pouch!" (To be continued.)

 Chapter 244: Before leaving

    <h4>Chapter 244: Before leaving</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing was speechless, storing the jar into his Immortal Pouch, and asked, "What exactly is Lord of Dao Tea?"


    "It''s said to be invented by an immortal. Even in ancient times, this tea was quite precious... The Lord of Dao Tea itself is an immortal tea. Immortals can drink it, cultivators can drink it, and even mortals can drink it!"


    "What? Even mortals can drink it?"


    .


    "Yes, it''s said that mortals who drink Lord of Dao Tea can directly start cultivating. If a cultivator with poor aptitude drinks it, it can improve their aptitude. If one already has excellent aptitude, this tea can enhance theirprehension... However, this kind of tea has long been lost. Even if it exists in the Cultivation World, it''s like you, found in ancient ruins."


    Mi Xiaojing was shocked. Mortals could cultivate after drinking it, cultivators could improve their aptitude and enhance theirprehension. This tea was simply against the heavens!


    "If I have a chance in the future, I''ll try it... It''s a pity that you can''t drink it."


    "Damn it! I don''t care!"


    Actually, Wang Weijun knew that if he could drink a bit of Lord of Dao Tea, it would be greatly beneficial to his Elemental Infant. But he was controlled by the Mantra Banner, let alone the Lord of Dao Tea, he couldn''t even take out the Immortal Pouch inside his body. Even if Mi Xiaojing could deliver the tea to his heart tower, he couldn''t drink it.


    There were two more cases left, with three treasures in total.


    Mi Xiaojing saw a piece of armor, a light purple half-body armor, only the size of a palm, slowly rotating on the case. The countless Dao patterns on it exuded an ancient aura.


    Heart Armor!


    Also known as Elemental Infant Armor, it''s not worn on the body, but on the Elemental Infant. It was a popr practice in ancient times. Nowadays, few people know how to do it. Perhaps some sects that specialize in Refining Tools still have it passed down internally, but it''s basically lost.


    Wang Weijun was extremely envious. If he had Heart Armor before, he wouldn''t have been so embarrassed. Even if he wore it now, he could at least resist the binding of the Mantra Banner. Unfortunately, he couldn''t wear it. The Mantra Banner controlled everything about him.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t even have an Elemental Infant, so he could only store this Heart Armor for now. It would only be useful after he had an Elemental Infant.


    A potted nt, a nt grown in top-grade Spirit Stone and superior Spirit Stone fragments as soil. The flower pot itself was a treasure, with its own Formation, but it was used to cultivate a nt.


    No one recognized this nt, including Wang Weijun. But he said one thing, it was an immortal nt, a nt from the immortal world. As for what it was used for and how to use it, he didn''t know.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know how to describe this nt.


    It looked like a big tree, with a trunk as thick as a thumb, and extremely small branches and leaves. He quickly realized that this flower pot should control a space. If he could enter it, this would probably be a towering tree. There was a red light shing on the tree. Upon closer inspection, it was a bit of Red Radiance shing from the gaps in the branches and leaves, which should be ripe fruit.


    In other words, this potted nt was a world in itself.


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t have time to verify his thoughts, nor did he have time to find the name of this big tree. He directly stored it in his Immortal Pouch.


    Thest case, thest treasure, was a jade box. It was also small, about five inches long, two inches wide, and only half an inch high. The jade box was beautifully made, but he didn''t know what treasure was inside.


    After breaking the seal, there were three semi-transparent needles lying horizontally in the jade box.


    Wang Weijun didn''t recognize them, and Mi Xiaojing knew even less. However, these three needles gave Mi Xiaojing a sense of danger. He didn''t know how to use them, so he could only store them in his Immortal Pouch for now. If he had a chance in the future, he would slowly find the answer.


    Generally speaking, one-time consumable treasures are not weak. This was the first time Mi Xiaojing had seen needle-shaped treasures. But being ced with so many good things, he believed they were definitely not ordinary.


    Wang Weijun felt a bit embarrassed. He didn''t know the origin of two consecutive items. It was fine not to recognize the immortal nt, at least he recognized it as an immortal nt. But these three needles, he really didn''t recognize them at all.


    He was a bit upset, feeling that he had lost face in front of Mi Xiaojing. The all-knowing Wang Weijun actually didn''t know something. Of course, Mi Xiaojing didn''t think much about it. He knew that no matter how knowledgeable a person was, it was impossible to recognize everything and know everything.


    "Now that we''ve collected everything, how do we get out?"


    "Don''t rush, let''s take a closer look... It''s a pity that we can''t take this case. It''s also a good thing."


    Mi Xiaojing looked around and realized that these eighteen cases and ice pirs were actually part of the Formation. If he forcibly took them, it would trigger an unknown reaction. He didn''t dare to act recklessly.


    Wang Weijun sighed, "Actually, the core of this grand formation itself is a treasure. But without breaking this formation, there''s no chance to collect it."


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "If the grand formation is broken, can we get this core space?"


    Wang Weijun shook his head, "Your cultivation level is too low. Even if you see it, you can''t collect it. Don''t think too much about it. We can leave now. I don''t know how the fight outside is going."


    "How do we get out?"


    "Just sit in the original position and perform the same set of Magical Techniques and Incantations. It''s easier to get out than to get in."


    Mi Xiaojing returned to the ce where he had sat when he came in, sat down again, and then performed the Magical Techniques and Incantations. His vision blurred, the cases disappeared, the eighteen ice pirs gathered, and the illusion reappeared.


    "Alright, perform the next set of Magical Techniques and Incantations."


    Mi Xiaojing did as he was told. In an instant, he appeared on the control position. The silver core group suddenly appeared not far away, then quickly swam away, as if it were a living thing, extremely magical.


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the Ancient Formation. Everyone was still in the Formation, none of them had escaped, and they were still running around in the Formation.


    "What should we do?"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what to choose.


    "Idiot, of course we should find a way to escape...""I can''t get out, I can''t enter the Ancient Formation at all, going in means death!"


    Mi Xiaojing only had the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment. Given the current lethality of the Mysterious Heaven Formation, even if he was familiar with this formation, he wouldn''t be able to withstand the extreme cold once he entered. He was only unaffected while sitting at the control position, where the Ancient Formation couldn''t reach him. Once he left this ce, the extreme cold within the Mysterious Heaven Formation could freeze him stiff in an instant.


    "Nonsense, don''t I know that? I''m not asking you to leave now, we need to find the right opportunity!"


    Mi Xiaojing started to ponder. He had a clear understanding of the current situation. Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian were together. Originally, Mu Hengyuan had his back to him, but now it seemed that Mo Chentian had improved, and the two were walking side by side.


    Both of them had magical techniques to protect themselves, so the formation''s attack on them was weak.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were together. Mi Xiaojing, with his sharp eyes, noticed at a nce that Yin Jin was missing a hand. The two were standing on the Blood Demon g, drifting around uncertainly, looking for a way out of the formation.


    Xu Zhongqing was already close to the edge of the formation, just a little bit more and he could leave the formation. The Mysterious Heaven Formation''s attack on him was the most intense.


    Radix Notoginseng, Oni, Big Head Zheng, and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden were scattered within the Ancient Formation. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden hadn''t found her people yet and was still searching hard.


    Thousand Poisons was also close to the edge, he and Xu Zhongqing were both very close to the treasure vault.


    After observing for a while, Mi Xiaojing asked, "Should we help them get in?"


    Please subscribe! (.)

 Chapter 245: Siege

    <h4>Chapter 245: Siege</h4>


    Wang Weijun asked, "Help who?"


    Mi Xiaojing pointed to the two people on the edge and said, "Let them in, there might be some changes..."


    Wang Weijun couldn''t help but p his hands andugh, "Good, good, more changes, I like it!" He was pleased, the little guy finally started to think for himself. He liked Mi Xiaojing''s decisive and ruthless nature, not thepassion brought by his Evolutionary Immortality.


    Mi Xiaojing first pursued Evolutionary Immortality, then Cultivation. After all this time, he had only killed one person. In the Cultivation World, he was an anomaly. Cultivators killed without needing a reason, but for Mi Xiaojing to kill someone, it was extremely difficult. Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would find it hard to do so.


    Now, Mi Xiaojing had thought of letting two opposing experts into the treasury, triggering changes in the Formation. One could imagine Wang Weijun''s reaction.


    Mi Xiaojing said, "We will let people into the treasury one by one... this way, there will be no one left in therge Formation. As long as therge Formation calms down, we can leave!"


    If these Elemental Infant stage experts were still in the Formation, the Mysterious Heaven Formation would continue to counterattack, preventing therge Formation from stopping. In this case, Mi Xiaojing would have no chance to leave. Given the strength of the Elemental Infant stage experts, even if they couldn''t leave the Formation, they could hold on for a long time, even years wouldn''t be surprising.


    Wang Weijun calcted for a moment and said, "Don''t rush to let these two in. They are too strong. First, find a way to gather the others at the edge of therge Formation, then let them in at the same time. Hehe, that would be fun."


    Mi Xiaojing just wanted to escape as soon as possible, and felt that Wang Weijun''s suggestion made sense. After observing the control position for a long time, and testing so many Magical Techniques and Incantations, Mi Xiaojing felt that he could do it. As long as he moved these people to the treasury, he would have a chance to return to the teleportation array.


    Because the Elemental Infant stage experts of the Heart Sect were rtively weaker than those of the Vast Gold Sect, Mi Xiaojing first mobilized the people of the Heart Sect, allowing them to take the initiative. This way, the battle couldst a little longer, buying him time to escape.


    He first cleared the way for Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian. A series of Magical Techniques and Incantations were released, and the two clearly felt that the pressure on their left side suddenly decreased. The two rushed to the left in perfect harmony.


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Someone is helping us clear the way!"


    Mo Chentian said, "Yes, someone is helping us!"


    The two were overjoyed. Although they often came and went here, they had never experienced the attack of the Ancient Formation. This time, they got a taste of it.


    The attack of the Ancient Formation was not particrly strong, mainly cold, extreme cold. If one''s Cultivation level was not high enough, it was easy to freeze. The most troublesome thing was finding the way out. In this Ancient Formation, it was too difficult to find the way out. They had been turning for so long, but they had not found any clues.


    If they were unlucky, they could be trapped here for several years. At this time, with someone helping, Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian didn''t think too much and rushed out directly.


    Mi Xiaojing lured the two out of the Ancient Formation. At the entrance of the treasury, they saw Yu Hong.


    Yu Hong asked, "Azure Descent... haven''t you seen her?"


    The two were surprised, "She went in?"


    Yu Hong said, "To find you..."


    Mu Hengyuan said, "Among us, she is the most familiar with this Formation and her Cultivation technique is not afraid of the cold. She should be fine."


    Just as the three of them were talking, the Immortal Maiden Azure Descent rushed out. The three were overjoyed, but there was a hint of shock on Azure Descent''s face, "Someone helped me out!"


    Mu Hengyuan nodded and said, "You also have this feeling! It seems that we are right, someone is helping us, but... who is helping us?"


    Yu Hong also looked surprised, "If they can help you, they must be very familiar with this Formation. Who could it be?"


    The four thought for a while, but couldn''t figure out who could help them. To be able to help them, one must understand this Formation, and even be able to control the Formation. This was a bit scary.


    Just then, Brahman Sa and Yin Jin also rushed out.


    Brahman Sa''s face was ashen, and Yin Jin''s face was not good either. He had lost a hand. Although it could be reattachedter, it was not his own hand after all.


    Yu Hong saw Yin Jin''s bare wrist at a nce and eximed, "Your hand?"


    Brahman Sa said angrily, "Thousand Poisons! The poison of Thousand Poisons can only be removed by cutting off the hand."


    Mu Hengyuan shivered. He knew the poison of Thousand Poisons. He had almost been forced to exin his Martial Arts before. If it weren''t for Mi Xiaojing''s intervention, he might have been finished. He didn''t expect Yin Jin to fall for it too.


    "Once we see this person, we must concentrate our forces and kill him directly! He''s too dangerous!"


    Mu Hengyuan also said, "We can''t give him a chance to act. His methods are too strange."


    Yin Jin nodded and said, "Yes, I was careless at first. I didn''t expect him to be so strong!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know what these people were discussing in front of the treasury. ording to the original n, he continued to guide Thousand Poisons out.


    Just as the six Elemental Infant stage experts were discussing, Thousand Poisons suddenly rushed out. He saw a group of enemies, all Elemental Infant stage experts. Even if he was fearless and full of confidence in himself, seeing the six people in front of him still made his heart cold, especially since two of them had suffered from his hands and must hate him to the bone.


    He was so scared that he wanted to rush back.


    "Stop him!"


    In an instant, three Sword Lights and a thunder fire were released, all attacking the front. As long as Thousand Poisons rushed two more steps, he would directly hit the attack line.


    He let out a strange cry, teleported in an instant, and narrowly avoided the attack. But just this dy allowed the six people to quickly surround him in the middle.


    The six didn''t say a word, simultaneouslyunching their strongest attacks. Everyone had the same idea: as long as they killed Thousand Poisons, the Vast Gold Sect would suffer a great loss in strength, and they would not be at a disadvantage.


    Such an attack, even Thousand Poisons couldn''t withstand. Hisrge red robe suddenly opened, forming a defense.


    However, thebined force of the six was obviously not something arge red robe could withstand. Even if countless true words shed on therge red robe, it still couldn''t block the attack of the six.


    In an instant, Thousand Poisons'' Prayer Beads swelled and quickly rotated around his body.The crimson robe was shattered in an instant, but it bought Thousand Poisons a little time. The attack immediately fell on the Prayer Beads, and with just one hit, the beads shrank back. However, they barely managed to block the attack of the six individuals.


    Since the Prayer Beads were linked to his life force, this attack also injured Thousand Poisons. The six individuals'' attack was too fierce. Even with Thousand Poisons'' immense strength, he lost a top-grade spiritual tool, his crimson robe, and his Evolutionary Immortality''s Prayer Beads were also damaged.


    After the first strike, the six individuals didn''t pause at all, immediatelyunching the second attack. They had only one thought in mind: to kill him. Ideally, they wanted to kill Thousand Poisons in one move, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.

    Thousand Poisons was extremely experienced in battle, but when the six of themunched their second attack, he felt a sense of despair.


    If they were in an open area, even if he was surrounded by six people, he might not win, but he could still escape. However, the entrance to the treasury was extremely narrow, there was no room for maneuver, and what was worse, he waspletely unprepared.


    Before rushing out, he had never thought that there would be enemies waiting for him, let alone six Elemental Infant stage experts. As a result, he was in deep trouble.


    Suddenly, a lotus flower appeared under Thousand Poisons'' feet, and a bowl-shaped object appeared in his hand. He didn''t have time to take out other weapons. The attacks of the six people fell again, and the lotus flower under his feet instantly enveloped him. The dense booming sound rang out, and all the attacks of the six people fell on it.


    The protective lotus was instantly torn apart, Thousand Poisons roared, and threw the bowl-shaped object out. After leaving his hand, the bowl-shaped object became huge and circled around him.


    ng! ng! ng!


    It was as if arge bell was being struck, one sound after another. The bowl-shaped object made a cracking sound. Thousand Poisons was in extreme pain. This bowl-shaped object was a treasure that he had refined for a hundred years and had nurtured for many years. It had reached the quality of a primary treasure. The most important thing was that this bowl couldbine with the true words to produce a deadly Poison Lotus. If it was destroyed, his loss would be great!


    Brahman Sa suddenly teleported over, taking advantage of Thousand Poisons'' distraction, she pped him on the back. This strike hit right in the gap of Thousand Poisons'' defense.


    Thousand Poisons was hit by this p, and a stream of blood sprayed out of his mouth.


    Just then, a person rushed out from the Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    Thousand Poisons shouted, "Brother Xu, save me!"


    Thousand Poisons was already in a very embarrassing situation. When he saw Xu Zhongqing, he was overjoyed. He never cared about his face. Now, like a drowning man, he would grab anything, even a straw, let alone a big log.


    Xu Zhongqing was also taken aback. He didn''t expect so many experts from the Heart Sect to be here. He raised his hand, and the Sword Light flickered, immediately forcing two people back.


    Thousand Poisons gritted his teeth and teleported, immediately hiding behind Xu Zhongqing. His whole body was trembling. The loss just now was already too great for him to bear, not to mention that he was seriously injured by Brahman Sa''s p.


    Radix Notoginseng appeared immediately after, followed by Oni and Big Head Zheng. Radix Notoginseng said, "Why hasn''t Banjine out?"


    Oni said, "I didn''t see him. Everyone else hase out. Is he still in the formation?"


    Brahman Sa didn''t say anything. She wasn''t stupid enough to say that she had killed Banjin. Anyway, she had made up her mind. Whenever she saw someone from the Vast Gold Sect, she would kill them to feed the Blood Demon g.


    Yu Hong secretly regretted that if Xu Zhongqing hade a littleter, even a minuteter, he would have been confident to join forces with everyone and kill Thousand Poisons in one fell swoop. Now the opportunity waspletely lost.


    However, after seriously injuring Thousand Poisons, everyone''s strength was basically bnced.


    At this time, both sides had some concerns. Because the terrain here was narrow, once a battle started, it would be easy to destroy this ce. Moreover, this ce was deep underground. If it copsed, even if they were Elemental Infant stage Cultivators, they would not be able to bear it.


    Both sides had concerns, and suddenly, the scene became stalemate.


    However, Xu Zhongqing and the others didn''te here for nothing. Since they had arrived at the treasury, they naturally hoped to gain something. Whether it was robbery or domination, they couldn''t return empty-handed.


    And Radix Notoginseng''s goal was also very simple, that was to kill the people of the Heart Sect. If they could rob the treasures, they would rob them. If they couldn''t, it didn''t matter. What they wanted was the territory of the Heart Sect.


    A conflict was imminent.


    After Mi Xiaojing sent thest person away, the Ancient Formation gradually calmed down. After waiting for a while, he cast a Magical Technique, and the control position suddenly dropped, falling next to the ice pir.


    Then the defensive light shield disappeared, and a piercing cold air rushed towards him. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but shiver. With his Cultivation level, even with the protection of the Magical Technique, it was still hard to bear. However, as the reaction of therge formation tended to be calm, the temperature was gradually rising.


    What Magical Technique and Incantation to use, so as not to trigger the counterattack of therge formation, Mi Xiaojing had already calcted it. The way out was rtively safe. However, even so, when he left the Ancient Formation, he was already shivering from the cold.


    Jumping onto the teleportation tform, Mi Xiaojing activated it without hesitation. This time the harvest was huge. Escaping was a victory, and he would not stay in the Heart Sect anymore. Once he left, he would try to meet Luo Bo and the others outside the Heart Sect.


    As for the people left in the treasury, Mi Xiaojing couldn''t care less. Let them fight to the death, it had nothing to do with him.


    Standing on the teleportation formation, before it even started, the entire cave shook. This feeling was very obvious. Wang Weijun reminded, "Let''s go, they must have started fighting!"


    Mi Xiaojing didn''t know why, but he suddenly had a feeling of impending disaster. He quickly activated the teleportation formation and left the underground.


    This kind of short-distance teleportation formation, whether it was activation or teleportation, was very fast. Unlike teleportation acrosss, which not only consumed a lot of Spirit Stones, but also required ample preparation.


    In an instant, Mi Xiaojing arrived on the teleportation formation outside. When the protection of the teleportation formation disappeared, he flew down the mountain without hesitation. He was still flying close to the ground, he didn''t dare to fly high.


    Who knew how many Foundation Establishment stage experts were lurking around here. If he dared to fly high, he would be waiting to be ambushed!


    Flying all the way, just as he flew out of the main hall of the sect, the entire main peak shook violently. Arge number of houses copsed. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but look back. A cloud of dust rose up. He wondered, was the main peak going to copse?Just at that moment, a figure flickered, instantly blocking Mi Xiaojing''s path. He was startled, almost releasing the Poison Lotus. Then he heard the person say, "Follow me!"


    Yong Ji!


    After escaping, Yong Ji did not leave. Instead, he hid nearby, waiting. Knowing that it was Mi Xiaojing who had saved him, he had no intention of running away. Instead, he waited for Mi Xiaojing toe out. He secretly spected that since Mi Xiaojing could control therge array, he must also have a way to escape.


    To repay Mi Xiaojing for saving his life, he waited here, nning to escort Mi Xiaojing away from the Heart Sect once he came out.


    Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. With Yong Ji''s protection, his chances of escaping were much higher. He was well aware that all the Elemental Infant Ancestors were in the underground treasury. With Yong Ji''s cultivation level, he no longer needed to fear most of the foreign cultivators.


    With a bodyguard, Mi Xiaojing felt much more rxed. The two of them headed down the mountain, one in front and one behind. Whenever they saw a figure flickering ahead, Yong Ji would send out a sword to intimidate the other party. Even if he killed with one sword, Yong Ji didn''t care. The two quickly reached the foot of the mountain.


    Mi Xiaojing once again passed by the Gathering Spring Vi. It waspletely ruined, the small building had copsed, the surrounding walls had disappeared, the bamboo pavilion behind had fallen to one side, and the spiritual spring had vanished,pletely buried.


    Yong Ji asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Hidden Huo City!"


    A new day, a new scene was about to unfold. Yes, continue to seek! To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.

 Chapter 247: The earth erupts in flames!

    <h4>Chapter 247: The earth erupts in mes!</h4>


    Hidden Huo City!


    Yong Ji had been there before and knew its location. He said, "Hidden Huo City is too close to the Heart Sect. We should hide somewhere further away."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "My people are in Hidden Huo City. I must take them with me when I leave."


    Yong Ji said, "Alright, let''s go now!"


    Wang Weijun was speechless. He hadn''t expected that after Mi Xiaojing saved Yong Ji, thetter would stay and even escort Mi Xiaojing away. With his protection, Mi Xiaojing was much safer.


    This made Wang Weijun reflect. He had always been a loner, decisive and ruthless, treating lives as if they were worthless. Therefore, he had no friends in the Cultivation World, no disciples, and only used people without ever trusting them.


    Years of habit had shaped Wang Weijun''s character. After a brief thought, he put it aside. For him, trusting someone was too difficult. As a man who wielded a knife, how could he hand it over to someone else? Life and death must be in his own hands.


    So, Wang Weijun''s conclusion was that he didn''t encourage saving people, but if Mi Xiaojing wanted to save them, he would let him!


    "How do we get there?"


    Mi Xiaojing looked around, not even sure of the direction.


    Yong Ji said, "Follow me. We don''t need to fly high, just stay close to the ground. This way, we don''t need to guard against attacks from below."


    From time to time, they could see shes of battles erupting in the distance, along with shouts and explosions carried by the wind. The entire Heart Sect was in chaos. Many of the nine peaks had been captured, forcing the cultivators hidden within toe out and fight.


    The two of them flew close to the ground, one after the other, leaving the main peak and heading towards the outskirts.


    Just as they reached a valley, the whole world seemed to shake. Then the main peak began to tremble violently, and a dull thunderous sound came from underground.


    Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but look back.


    Suddenly, Yong Ji grabbed Mi Xiaojing and shouted, "Fly up!"


    The two of them quickly ascended. Before Mi Xiaojing could understand what was happening, the ground cracked like shattered porcin. In an instant, countless cracks appeared, and the entire ground broke apart.


    Steam burst out from the cracks, forcing countless cultivators into the sky. For a moment, the sky was filled with people, which made Mi Xiaojing''s heart pound.


    It was as if a thunderbolt had rolled across the ground, like a summer thunderstorm tearing across the sky. The thunderous sound echoed from east to west. It wasn''t a thunderbolt from the sky, but from the ground.


    The sound was heart-shaking. No oneunched an attack, they all just stared nkly at the ground.


    Crack! Crack!


    The continuous sound of breaking echoed. No one understood what had happened underground to cause such a violent reaction.


    Those who could fly were all in the sky. No one dared to stay on the ground. Of course, if you couldn''t fly at this time, it would be a real tragedy. Everyone could see that at the lowest point of the Heart Sect, argeke suddenly disappeared. Arge amount of steam rose, forming a thick white fog.


    Suddenly, a earth-shattering explosion sounded, and a stream of red magma spewed out. The cultivators hovering above theke were like a scattered group of rats, frantically fleeing. Even so, many were too slow to escape and were directly hit by the magma, screaming as they fell.


    All the peaks were shaking. Mi Xiaojing pointed at the main peak in horror and eximed, "Look! Look!"


    The main peak seemed to swell, the entire waist of the mountain bulging out like an unreal image. In an instant, the entire main peak exploded.


    The explosion was like a Deadly Thousand Thunder exploding, the huge roar almost deafening Mi Xiaojing. The flying rocks, soil, and shattered trees were like countless arrows, sweeping across the cultivators hovering nearby, taking outrge swathes of them.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji were far away, and even if the shattered rocks shot towards them, they were knocked down by Yong Ji. The two of them kept retreating, their faces full of shock as they watched the main peak copse.


    Then, another huge explosion sounded. The top of the main peak that had fallen also explodedpletely, forming a mushroom cloud of dust and smoke that rose into the sky.


    "My God..."


    Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, and Yong Ji was also staring nkly. All the cultivators, as long as they were hovering in the air, were too shocked to speak.


    Yong Ji grabbed Mi Xiaojing''s arm, his hand trembling violently. The sound of tearing cloth rang out, and in an instant, a huge stream of red magma shot out like a fountain.


    Mi Xiaojing had sharp eyes. He saw several ck dots shoot up before the magma erupted, their speed even faster than the magma.


    Yong Ji also noticed. They were the elders of the Elemental Infant stage from the sect, as well as the experts from the Vast Gold Sect. They had all escaped.Mi Xiaojing had seen these experts fight in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, so he could easily identify them.


    A red cloud enveloped Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, while Radix Notoginseng was shimmering with a golden glow. Yu Hong also flew out, wrapped in Sword Light.


    An even more astonishing scene was a man roaring out from the magma. With a simple grasp, he dragged down a member of the Vast Gold Sect, Oni, into the magma. He then punched, directly exploding the body.


    Oni''s Elemental Infant had just flown out when it was crushed by the man.


    Wang Weijun eximed in horror, "A Body Fusion stage expert!"


    The man didn''t utter a word. Suddenly, he spread his hands, and the previously erupting magma coalesced into a fire dragon, baring its fangs and ws as it pounced on Zheng Tong.


    All the cultivators were scared silly. Someone screamed, and like adle of hot water poured on a beehive, all the cultivators started to flee in panic.


    Radix Notoginseng''s face turned pale. He couldn''t imagine that breaking open a secret room would reveal such a powerful expert. And the moment the secret room was opened, he understood something.


    This man was suppressing the earth fire magma!


    He was actually sitting on top of the fire eye, and they had disturbed him. Instantly, the earth fire became unbnced and erupted violently, making the man incredibly angry.


    Thousand Poisons ran faster than a rabbit. When the magma erupted, he used the force to shoot out directly.


    The most unlucky one was Mo Chentian. A huge force squeezed over, and coupled with his previous injuries, he didn''t react in time and was buried underneath. Azure Descent Immortal Maiden reached out to rescue him but was held back. Both of them didn''t have time to escape and were left underground, their fate unknown. Only Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan managed to escape.


    On the other side, Xu Zhongqing escaped the fastest, followed by Thousand Poisons, then Radix Notoginseng and Zheng Tong.


    Thest one toe out was Oni. Her cultivation level was the weakest and she was the first to be caught by the man. With just one strike, not even her Elemental Infant was left!

 Chapter 248: Ancestor

    <h4>Chapter 248: Ancestor</h4>


    The entire Heart Sect was engulfed in a sea of fire, a scene of chaos, fear, and uproar.


    Zheng Datou was in utter despair, frantically trying to escape. If he had known that the Heart Sect had such a powerful expert, he would never have dared toe. Now, being targeted by a super expert, every hair on his body stood on end. He had never experienced such a terrifying situation in his life!


    Two fire dragons formed by magma came from left and right, instantly blocking Zheng Datou''s escape route. The man pped his hands together without making a sound, and Zheng Datou was directly wrapped into a ball by the magma.


    The man''s figure flickered slightly, and he suddenly appeared in front of Radix Notoginseng. At this moment, Radix Notoginseng finally saw the man''s appearance clearly.


    A skull-like face, pitch-ck skin, teeth so white they were chilling, eyes gleaming, a tuft of yellow hair on his head, a grey-white magical artifact draped over his body, a hemp rope-like treasure tied around his waist, a ck gourd hanging from it, and hisrge hands were almost entirely bone, with protruding joints.


    At first nce, he looked like a skeleton, a skeleton wrapped in skin.


    With a point of his finger, a red radiance flickered, and in an instant, it pierced through Radix Notoginseng''s body, simultaneously piercing through the Elemental Infant. Radix Notoginseng had no power to fight back, and with just one strike, he was nearly shattered.


    Radix Notoginseng only had time to let out a cold snort before his body ignited. His weak Elemental Infant was seized by the man, who pped the gourd, and the Elemental Infant was sucked into it.


    During this time, Radix Notoginseng didn''t even have time to beg for mercy before he was killed.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji werepletely stunned. This man was too fierce, killing a master at the Elemental Infant stage as if he was killing a chicken.


    However, Wang Weijun noticed something was wrong. He said, "What a pity."


    Before Mi Xiaojing could ask, the manunched anotherplex magical technique, followed by an incantation. At this moment, all the cultivators of the Heart Sect were cheering, while the invaders were fleeing like dogs that had lost their homes.


    All the erupting magma stopped abruptly after the manunched the magical technique and incantation. All the smoke and mist disappeared like snow under a zing fire.


    At this moment, everyone looked at the ground and found that the flowing magma had gathered into a huge magmake. The nine peaks were like nine torches, and the main peak had disappeared.


    With a push and a lift of his hands, a light curtain suddenly rose around the Heart Sect, instantly closing overhead. It was another great prohibition, one that even Yu Hong and the others didn''t know about!


    Xu Zhongqing was the fastest to escape, but just as he was about to escape from the Heart Sect, the prohibition appeared. He was immediately filled with extreme terror.


    It was only then that Mi Xiaojing asked Wang Weijun, "What''s a pity?"


    "Body Fusion stage. This guy should have the strength of the early Body Fusion stage. Unfortunately, he was interrupted just after breaking through. This Body Fusion stage is false, and he will soon fall from this realm. He can''t even maintain the realm of Great Perfection of Dividing Spirit!"


    Mi Xiaojing suddenly realized, "No wonder he''s so angry."


    Yong Ji excitedly said, "This is our Heart Sect''s Ancestor, the real Ancestor!"


    Mi Xiaojing asked, "Is this a senior from our Heart Sect who has been cultivating in seclusion? Why didn''t hee out earlier?"


    Yong Ji said, "I don''t know."


    The man''s eyes shed with a fierce light, and he disappeared from the spot, suddenly appearing in front of Xu Zhongqing.


    Xu Zhongqing was terrified. He was extremely regretful now. For a Divine Pill, he had provoked such a formidable enemy. He didn''t dare to attack and immediately tried to teleport away.


    However, his teleportation failed. A pair of rough hands directly grabbed his neck. Xu Zhongqing didn''t even know how the man had caught him. The gap in strength was too great.


    The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Xu Zhongqing was so scared that his soul nearly left his body. He kept begging, "Senior, spare my life, please!"


    "If I spare you, who will spare me?"


    His voice was extremely hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against each other, harsh and unpleasant, "If you dare toe, you must dare to face the consequences!"


    Crack!


    His neck was crushed, and his Elemental Infant was sucked into the ck gourd.


    Thousand Poisons was very smart. As soon as he came out, he mixed in with a group of cultivators and fled with the crowd. The man killed his enemies one after another, then returned to his original position.


    Yu Hong led Mu Hengyuan forward, respectfully saying, "Ancestor Gu Ban, junior Yu Hong."


    Gu Ban Ancestor stared at Yu Hong but didn''t say a word. Mu Hengyuan trembled, "Junior of the Heart Sect, Mu Hengyuan, pays respects to Ancestor Gu Ban."


    Suddenly, Gu Ban Ancestor pped out.


    Smack!


    Yu Hong was pped away, the force of the p was so great that it almost shattered his head. With just one hit, Yu Hong was seriously injured. Following that, Gu Ban Ancestor kicked out, and Mu Hengyuan was sent flying, vomiting blood in mid-air.


    "Get lost!"


    Immediately, the cheers stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence.


    Gu Ban Ancestor grabbed with both hands, and the churning magma on the ground rose, transforming into two fire dragons again. He waved his hands, and the two fire dragons swept across, not caring about the cultivators of the Heart Sect, and chased after them!


    Yong Ji''s face changed drastically, "Run!"The people in the sky were all cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Body Fusion stages. Against a master of the Body Fusion stage, they couldn''t even think about fighting back, let alone escaping. A single sweep would take out arge group of them. As long as they were hit by the fire dragon, whether they collided with it or just grazed it, they were unable to resist.


    It was as if a rain had fallen from the sky. The cultivators who were hit fell like raindrops. Theva was extremely lethal to low-level cultivators.


    Ancestor Gu Ban moved freely, a hoarseughtering from his mouth. The sound was filled with unwillingness, anger, and a hint of destion.


    Yong Ji was very familiar with the sect. He flew with Mi Xiaojing over the scorchingva and quickly hid behind a mountain peak. This peak was Qingmu Peak, where Grass-Benevolence Hall was located. Now, it was like a burning torch.


    The sky was filled with screams, shouts, and curses. Various sounds converged, forming a wave of noise.


    Yong Ji, with Mi Xiaojing, plunged into the mountain fire without hesitation. This kind of me was more than enough to burn ordinary people to death, but it was absolutely impossible to kill the two of them. Hiding in the fire was actually the best choice.


    Once inside Qingmu Peak, Mi Xiaojing was even more familiar with the ce than Yong Ji. He said, "Follow me!"


    The two of them moved through the burning forest. The ce Mi Xiaojing was heading to was his earliest courtyard, where there was a cave and a hidden cavern.


    Ancestor Gu Ban did not continue to pursue Yu Hong. After sending the two flying with a punch and a kick, he began a frenzied massacre.


    .


    Yu Hong quietly led Mu Hengyuan away. The two of them quickly fled. Ancestor Gu Ban was going mad, and he had no way to deal with it. Even if the Ancestor wanted to kill him, he had no way to resist. He could only take Mu Hengyuan and leave, hoping to escape this disaster.


    At this point, Yu Hong knew in his heart that the Heart Sect was finished!


    Cough, cough, I''ve been going non-stop for four days, and I''m a bit worn out. I''ll take a break tomorrow and update twice. Please bear with me. The weather has been changing recently, and I''ve caught a cold and have a fever. Everyone, please remember to keep warm!

 Chapter 249: Sword Sorrow

    <h4>Chapter 249: Sword Sorrow</h4>


    The Heart Sect is finished!


    There will be no more Heart Sect in this world.


    Thousand Poisons was also hiding, almost scared out of his wits. He never expected that the Heart Sect would have such a powerful expert. When he saw Ancestor Gu Ban p Yu Hong away and kick Mu Hengyuan flying, he immediately understood that this man had gone mad.


    Thousand Poisons blended into the crowd. He knew that he absolutely couldn''t show himself at this time. Seeing a group of cultivators being knocked down by the fire dragon, when the fire dragon swept over, he hurriedly acted like the surrounding cultivators, pretending to be unable to resist, and directly fell down.


    With his cultivation level, he was not afraid of theva burning at all, and directly plunged into theva.


    In an instant, a golden lotus wrapped him up. Thousand Poisons tried his best to escape to the distance, using the freely flowingva to gradually distance himself from Ancestor Gu Ban.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji quickly arrived at the original mansion, which had beenpletely burned down. Yong Ji drew his sword and forcibly sted a path. The two came to the cliff in the backyard and indeed saw a cave entrance.


    Yong Ji nced at the boulder next to him, raised his hand and pped it, using the boulder to block the cave entrance, leaving only a narrow gap. He said, "Let''s go in."


    The two entered the cave one after the other. There used to be a spiritual spring here, but due to the eruption of the earth fire, the earth veins werepletely destroyed, and the spiritual spring naturally ceased to exist.


    When they reached the depths, Mi Xiaojing casually pped, and another cave entrance appeared.


    Yong Ji was surprised: "There''s another cave here?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded: "Follow me down."


    The two went down into the cave. The cave was hot and dry, no longer the cool and gloomy it used to be. The two sat down cross-legged.


    Yong Ji sighed deeply and said, "I''m afraid... there will be no Heart Sect in the future!"


    Mi Xiaojing silently nodded. He couldn''t describe his feelings. In the Heart Sect, although there were various twists and turns, he didn''t feel ufortable due to Wang Weijun''s guidance. Moreover, in the Heart Sect, he received great attention. Whether it was status or treatment, it was top-notch.


    However, the Heart Sect was the culprit that destroyed the Western Evolutionary Sect. Now it was also destroyed. Mi Xiaojing couldn''t help but sigh. In this world, is it really an eye for an eye?


    ...


    Ancestor Gu Ban was still going crazy. Wang Weijun''s guess was correct. He had just broken through and was broken the prohibition. Facing a group of invaders, he didn''t have time to stabilize his cultivation level.


    If he had another year, once his cultivation level was stable, he would fear nothing.


    Ancestor Gu Ban started his retreat from the middle stage of the Soul Division. This ce was actually a volcano. At first, he just wanted to suppress the volcano, butter he found that this was also a treasurend for cultivation. So he suppressed and cultivated at the same time, and his cultivation level grew rapidly.


    In just over a hundred years, he went from the middle stage of the Soul Division to thete stage, and then spent nearly eighty years to finally cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Soul Division.


    He originally nned to go out, but found that the undergroundva began to be restless. He didn''t know the reason, but he knew that once he left, the Heart Sect would be destroyed by the earth fire.


    With no other choice, Ancestor Gu Ban had to close the door and hope to enter the Body Fusion stage. Even if it was just the early stage of Body Fusion, he was confident that he couldpletely suppress the restless earth fire andva.


    Just when he was about to seed, he was interrupted by someone. Not only could he not continue to suppress the earth fire andva, but he alsopletely lost the possibility of promotion. How could he not be angry to the extreme? The whole person went crazy. Plus, after countless years of solitary cultivation, his mind began to twist.


    The moment Ancestor Gu Ban left the volcano, he knew in his heart that the Heart Sect was finished. That''s why he pped Yu Hong hard and kicked Mu Hengyuan flying. They were all his damn wastes!


    There were no more cultivators in the air. The result of Ancestor Gu Ban''s madness was that eighty percent of the cultivators were all killed, and the rest were scared and hid.


    At this time, his gaze suddenly turned to a mountain peak, and in an instant, he moved over.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin suddenly saw Ancestor Gu Ban appear, and they couldn''t help but tremble with fear. She gritted her teeth and calmed down: "Junior has seen senior, senior, we... we are the helpers invited by the Heart Sect..."


    She saw with her own eyes how he pped Yu Hong flying, and she had no confidence in her heart. This person even hit his own people, would he show mercy to her, an external aid?


    After venting just now, Ancestor Gu Ban had regained a bit of calm. He stared at Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, didn''t speak for a long time, and the surroundings were dead silent except for the crackling sound of burning.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were sweating coldly.


    Ancestor Gu Ban''s eyes were cold and cruel, as if there were mes jumping in his pupils. That kind of invisible momentum and pressure made Brahman Sa and Yin Jin very ufortable. Sweat beads rolled down their foreheads. With their cultivation level, they had almost forgotten what sweat was, but now they couldn''t control it and it flowed down.


    "Get out!"


    For some reason, Ancestor Gu Ban didn''t make a move, but coldly spat out a word.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin felt as if they had been pardoned, and they quickly flew to the distance. They didn''t even have the courage to look back, only feeling extremely guilty and frightened.


    At this moment, Ancestor Gu Ban''s cultivation level plummeted, and in an instant, it fell to the Great Perfection of the Soul Division. He wanted to suppress it, but his realm fell again, until it reached thete stage of the Soul Division, and then gradually stabilized.


    Standing in the raging fire, Ancestor Gu Ban was expressionless. At this time, he finally calmed downpletely.


    After the rage, there was a hint of regret in Ancestor Gu Ban''s eyes, but soon he showed an indifferent expression. If it was destroyed, it was destroyed. For him, the real regret was the fall of his realm. He knew very well in his heart that he would never reach the Body Fusion stage again.


    The path of cultivation will be a hundred times harder in the future!


    A bit of destion, a bit of loneliness, finally turned into a long sigh. With a wave of his hand, a magical technique was cast, and the rising prohibition light shield shattered. This hidden prohibition that even Yu Hong and the others didn''t know about was destroyed.Suddenly, Ancestor Gu Ban transformed into a long rainbow, disappearing into the sky. He gave up on the Heart Sect, and all his responsibilities, bing a rogue cultivator in the Cultivation World, fighting solely for himself from then on.


    Thousand Poisons Qi¨¢n stealthily emerged from the magma, only to see the prohibition explode and shatter, and Ancestor Gu Ban disappearing as a long rainbow. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was terrifying that the Heart Sect actually had such a powerful expert, it was simply horrifying to the extreme.


    Immediately following was extreme regret. This trip had brought no benefits, but instead, heavy losses. The six experts of the Heart Sect had ambushed and surrounded him, causing him to lose many treasures. His strength had greatly decreased. It was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it, he had suffered a great loss!


    With a long sigh, he left in disappointment.


    Thousand Poisons Qi¨¢n stepped on a golden lotus, suddenly flying high into the sky. He slightly discerned the direction, but before he could leave, he heard someone roar: "Thousand Poisons Qi¨¢n! Surrender your life!"

 Chapter 250: Go your separate ways

    <h4>Chapter 250: Go your separate ways</h4>


    A red cloud appeared, carrying Brahman Sa and Yin Jin, both of whom were charging towards Thousand Poisons.


    Thousand Poisons gave them a cold nce, not uttering a word. In an instant, he transformed into a golden rainbow, fleeing into the distance.


    He had no desire to fight this plump woman. His strength had significantly decreased, and no matter how he fought, he would be at a disadvantage. Since he didn''t want to fight, his only option was to flee. He didn''t believe that these two could catch up with him.


    One fled, two pursued, and the three of them vanished in an instant.


    /p>


    At this time, the surviving cultivators also began to flee. However, their numbers were extremely sparse. Three or five, five or six, they fled one after another. No one dared to stay here any longer. This battle had severely damaged the vitality of the local cultivators. The rogue cultivators who hade to make a fortune suffered even more casualties.


    Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan hovered in the air, not stopping the fleeing rogue cultivators. Their faces were ashen, and they couldn''t describe how they felt.


    Although the Ancestor had pped and kicked them, he had actually shown mercy. Even though he was furious to the point of losing his reason, he still held back some of his strength and didn''t kill them.


    If the Ancestor had used his full strength, they wouldn''t have survived. Yu Hong would have been more than just severely injured by a p; his head might have been sent flying. Although they were severely injured now, they could recover quickly with the help of Mi Xiaojing''s Spirit Pill.


    Both of them saw the prohibition shattered and the Ancestor leaving. They knew in their hearts that the Ancestor hadpletely given up on the Heart Sect.


    Yu Hong was equally disheartened. He looked at Mu Hengyuan and asked, "The Heart Sect is hopeless. What are you nning to do?"


    Without a foundation, they had nothing. Especially the low and middle-level cultivators, who had been wiped out by their own Ancestor. Mo Chentian and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden were missing, and only the two of them were left. Rebuilding the Heart Sect was too difficult. Even if they managed to establish it, it would be a small sect that was unstable.


    Mu Hengyuan looked at the surgingva flow below and the mountain peaks that looked like torches. He gave a bitter smile and said, "What else can I do? I don''t have the confidence to rebuild the Heart Sect... Maybe, being a rogue cultivator and traveling to others isn''t a bad idea. If that doesn''t work, I could join another sect. But I''m not very interested in living under someone else''s roof."


    Both of them were dispirited. After a while, Yu Hong said, "Forget it, I give up!"


    Mu Hengyuan nodded, "I give up too..."


    Yu Hong was very emotional and said, "I have half of the Heart Sect''s treasury here... I don''t know if my junior sister can escape with the other half. Let''s split the half I have here. We''ll take what we need. From now on, we won''t have a sect to rely on."


    This half of the treasury was enough for both of them to cultivate to the Body Fusion stage. If Yu Hong didn''t share, half of the treasury wouldn''t guarantee his cultivation to the Body Fusion stage.


    If they divided it, both of them would have a chance to advance to the Body Fusion stage. In the end, cultivation was a matter of whether resources were sufficient, especially for high-level cultivators.


    Actually, the four Elemental Infant stage brothers of the Heart Sect had always had a good rtionship. They had grown up together in the Heart Sect and reached the Elemental Infant stage together. Therefore, Yu Hong was willing to share the sect''s resources. If Mu Hengyuan advanced in the future, he would have a strong ally. Simrly, if he advanced to the Body Fusion stage and Mu Hengyuan was in trouble, he would not stand by and do nothing.


    Two dayster, a figure crawled out of the rollingva. She was surrounded by a thinyer of white light. The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden had finally struggled out from underground after enduring countless hardships.


    She was on the verge of copse. She nced at the Heart Sect, which had been destroyed by theva, then instantly flew into the sky, transforming into a white rainbow and disappearing.


    On the third day, Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji crawled out of the cave. They couldn''t continue to stay there. The temperature in the cave was getting higher and higher, and there were asional tremors. The cave was copsing bit by bit. If they didn''t leave, they would be buried inside.


    On Qingmu Peak, the dense forest was gone, leaving only burnt tree stumps and ancient tree branches that hadn''t beenpletely burnt. It was sparse.


    The entire mountain was no longer lush and green. It was filled with gray and ck, mottled, like a leper''s head. At the foot of the mountain, hot streams were steaming, and theva had formed arge river, flowing at the foot of the mountain and continuing to spread outward.


    It was a scene of destruction and chaos. Apart from the asional crackling sound of burning, there was only a chilling silence, like a dead world, with no human voices or animal roars.


    When the hot wind blew through the canyon, it often stirred up a flurry of sparks, and a burnt smell filled the air.


    Yong Ji said, "Let''s go. There should be no one left now. Even if they didn''t die, they''ve all run away."


    Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Let''s go."


    The Heart Sect was just a small sect in the Cultivation World, but it was quite famous on Cangmin Star. This time, it waspletely destroyed, causing a shock among all the cultivators on Cangmin Star. Especially since the Heart Sect had produced a super expert who had killed countless cultivators in one fell swoop. This news also spread.


    On Cangmin Star, Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment cultivators were the mainstream. Elemental Infant cultivators were already the high-level and main force of each sect. Among the rogue cultivators, Elemental Infant experts were also local tyrants.


    Once they reached the Body Fusion stage or above, their status was different. These people were very few, each of them was a big shot with great influence. Ordinary cultivators couldn''t even get in touch with them.


    Unless they were superrge cultivation sects, ordinary sects were not even in their eyes. Even these people didn''t dare to provoke those super sects, which often hid Body Fusion stage or even Great Ascension stage top experts.


    Experts above the Body Fusion stage were basically elusive and rarely appeared in front of cultivators. Like Wang Weijun, after advancing to the Body Fusion stage, he had always been alone, with few friends and many enemies.


    Generally speaking, cultivators who reached the Body Fusion stage or above were not to be provoked. In the Cultivation World, they were people who could walk sideways. Only Wang Weijun was unlucky. His confidence was inted, and he was targeted by Mi Xiaojing''s parents. In the end, he suffered a great loss and was forced to exin his martial arts.


    After flying for half an hour, Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji finally flew out of the area where theva was flowing wildly. At the edge of theva flow, there was still arge fire burning, spreading towards the periphery.


    Fortunately, the surrounding mountains around the Sword Heart Sect limited the speed of theva''s spread. After flying a distance, the two of them once again saw the scenery of clear mountains and waters.


    From time to time, they could see people trekking through the mountains. Mi Xiaojing knew that these were people who had escaped earlier. There were ordinary people and Qi Refining cultivators, all of whom were unable to fly.


    Thanks to the rewards and support from book friends like Sky Road Prairie! To be continued.

 Chapter 251: Peers

    <h4>Chapter 251: Peers</h4>


    The mountain path was difficult to traverse. It took these people ten or even dozens of days to reach this point, while Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing only flew for a few hours. The efficiency of the two methods was truly worlds apart.


    It was no wonder that cultivators who had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage could only operate within a small range. In the Cultivation World, only those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage were considered true cultivators.


    Mi Xiaojing finally understood this. It wasn''t obvious within the sect, but once he was out in the world, this point became extremely important.


    As they flew out of the mountainous area, the number of people on the ground increased. Some roads were already crowded with people, all heading towards Hidden Huo City.


    The area was still densely forested, with a small path faintly extending through the forest. From the sky, a discontinuous stream of people could be seen, stretching far into the distance.


    asionally, they could see flickering lights, indicating that people were cooking over a fire. When Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing flew overhead, these people would look up curiously.


    ...


    Hidden Huo City was originally a small city where rogue cultivators gathered. Many mortals depended on this city, which was also a market where rogue cultivators often traded and exchanged goods.


    However, the real power in the city was held by the Heart Sect. The rogue cultivators were not the masters here.


    In the past half a year, arge number of people had flooded into the city. More than half of them were low-level cultivators from the Heart Sect, and arge number of mortals had also rushed in.


    Various makeshift wooden sheds had been erected, stretching from the edge of the city into the forest. Due tock of management, the ce had be extremely crowded and dirty.


    The more decent residences were located in the city. In addition, there were quite a few well-constructed wooden buildings in the northwest corner, each surrounded by a courtyard wall.


    Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, Mu Xiaoyin, and others lived here. This group also included the old vige chief Zhang Liben''s family and the former tenants of the Western Evolutionary Sect, all of whom were people Mi Xiaojing had sent out. They had already upied a small estate outside the city.


    In addition, Tian Cang also lived in seclusion here, making him one of their strongest forces.


    Hidden Huo City had been in chaos recently, with rampant robbery and murder. For safety, Zhang Ke gathered everyone in the estate. Thanks to their ample preparations, they had plenty of food and manpower. They even provided shelter for a group of mortals, allowing them to build wooden sheds outside the courtyard wall and asionally distributing food to them.


    After a period of hard cultivation, Luo Bo, with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill given by Mi Xiaojing, had sessfully advanced to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. His strength had greatly increased, making him the most powerful among his peers.


    Wei Fujin had advanced to thete stage of Qi Refining, second only to Luo Bo in strength. Dazhu and Maotou had also advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining. Only Zhang Ke was one step away from reaching thete stage of Qi Refining. It wasn''t that he wasn''t trying hard enough, but he had too many misceneous tasks to handle.


    Mu Xiaoyin''s Ascension had also improved. Unfortunately, even if a low-level Ascension cultivator advanced, their strength was still weak. Fortunately, with the help of everyone, she always had bodyguards around her, either Luo Bo or Wei Fujin. In short, whenever she went out, a few brothers would follow her.


    More and more news reached Hidden Huo City, with all sorts of information. Some said that the Heart Sect had won, others said that the Heart Sect had been wiped out. Many strange rumors were causing panic among the people.


    More and more rogue cultivators were entering Hidden Huo City. These people acted recklessly, but they still had some respect for the cultivators of the Heart Sect and did not dare to bully them openly.


    However, the fights between rogue cultivators were much more brutal. Battles often broke out, and deaths weremon, especially among the low-level rogue cultivators, who lived even harder lives.


    It wasn''t until some Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived a while ago that the order in Hidden Huo City improved somewhat. Especially after several Foundation Establishment experts from the Heart Sect arrived, open fights were no longer seen during the day. These experts jointly dered that anyone who killed indiscriminately would be hunted down to the end.


    With the influx of arge number of rogue cultivators into Hidden Huo City, the small city was already overcrowded.


    During the day, cultivators would enter the forest around Hidden Huo City. They went hunting, digging, and gathering materials, and returned to rest outside the city at night. Some cultivators would be gone for several days or even dozens of days before returning to rest.


    The estate upied by Zhang Ke and others had familiar faces nearby. Not far from them, there was a courtyard smaller than their estate, with two bungalows inside.


    The residents here were also cultivators from the Heart Sect, specifically from Qingmu Peak and Grass-Benevolence Hall. One was the steward Guan Shangli, and the other was the female Pill Master Li Huai. Each lived in a bungalow.


    Outside the courtyard, a small area of wooden sheds had been erected. There were quite a few low-level disciples from Grass-Benevolence Hall, including Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou, whom Mi Xiaojing knew. They were lucky to have escaped from the sect in advance and had made their way to Hidden Huo City after a hard journey.


    In fact, the ones who suffered the most casualties this time were the Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Heart Sect. Arge part of them were killed by their own Ancestor, Guisaka. Of course, more outsiders died.


    It was because of the casualties of this group of people that Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan lost hope andpletely gave up on the Heart Sect. If these core cultivators were still alive, they might still have some confidence in rebuilding the sect.


    Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment cultivators were the backbone of any medium or small sect, ying a bridging role. Once lost, the sect would lose its backbone and it would be difficult to turn the situation around, especially since the sect''s base was also lost this time, whichpletely depleted the vitality of the Heart Sect.


    One day, news reached Hidden Huo City, making Zhang Ke and others extremely nervous. A group of people sat in the courtyard, their faces filled with worry.


    Zhang Ke said, "I heard that the Heart Sect is really finished, with heavy casualties. The specific situation is still unclear. I guess in a few days, there will be clear newsing... What do you all think?"Luo Bo''s eyes turned red. He stood up and said, "I... I''m going to find Brother Xiao Mi!"


    Mu Xiaoyin quickly grabbed him, saying, "You can''t go!"


    Wei Fu also said, "I''ll go too!"


    Zhang Ke felt immense pressure at that moment. He said, "What did Junior Uncle say before he left? Everyone should still remember, right?"


    Luo Bo lowered his head, "I know!"


    Zhang Ke said, "Junior Uncle repeatedly instructed us to wait for him in Hidden Huo City, no matter what happens outside, we must wait for him to return. Regardless of the news we hear, we should ignore it for now. Junior Uncle will definitelye back. I have faith in Junior Uncle. Don''t you?"


    Luo Bo bit his lip, hesitating for a long time in his heart. Finally, he sat down. He really didn''t want to go against Mi Xiaojing''s words. He said, "Alright, we''ll wait a few more days."


    When Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin left the Heart Sect, Mi Xiaojing specifically told them that when he returns, everyone must be there, not one person can be missing. Therefore, this pressure fell on the two of them. To be continued.

 Chapter 252: Unjustified disaster

    <h4>Chapter 252: Unjustified disaster</h4>


    Tian Cang walked out of the room and came to the table, pulling out a chair, he said, "Hehe, even though I was thest one to arrive here, I know that your brother Xiao Mi will definitelye back. Trust me, he has many methods and is very strong!"


    Under Tian Cang''sfort, everyone felt a little more at ease. Without Mi Xiaojing, they lost their backbone. The affairs at home were always arranged by Mi Xiaojing. Once he was not there, everyone didn''t know what to do.


    Suddenly, a muffled sound came from a distance, followed by a thunderbolt. From far to near, everyone abruptly looked up towards the sound.


    A golden rainbow shed, and suddenly, a figure appeared. He stood on a golden lotus, cursing, "Enough is enough! Don''t think I''m afraid of you!"


    A bowl-shaped object suddenly appeared in his hand, and he pped it a few times, and several lotus flowers flew out.


    If anyone got close, they would find that the bowl was full of cracks. These lotus flowers were shot out, and Thousand Poisons was desperate, disregarding the treasure in his hand, nning to fight to the death.


    A red cloud flew from a distance, its speed was incredibly fast, and it approached in an instant. On the red cloud stood two people, a fat woman and a man with a gloomy face.


    Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were madly chasing and killing. Thousand Poisons'' tricks were seen through several times, and he failed to escape several times. Thousand Poisons was also chased and killed by the two, which made him furious. He had never suffered such humiliation before, and he suddenly exploded.


    "We won''t stop until one of us is dead!"


    Brahman Sa''s voice became extremely sharp, and their conversation was like a loud drum. Everyone in Hidden Huo City heard it clearly.


    Tian Cang eximed, "Elemental Infant stage experts!"


    Zhang Ke and the others were all dumbfounded. Cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage were top-tier existences to them, beings they could only look up to. Most of them had never seen a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage, let alone watched them fight.


    Tian Cang had more experience than anyone present. He had wandered outside for many years and naturally knew the terror of Elemental Infant stage cultivators. He shouted, "Quickly gather everyone and leave this ce!"


    Zhang Ke obviously didn''t understand, he asked, "Why should we leave?"


    Tian Cang''s face turned pale, and he repeatedly said, "Go! Hurry... gather everyone, leave quickly! Leave quickly!" His voice had changed.


    Luo Bo made a decisive decision, he said, "Alright! Quickly gather everyone, we''ll retreat to the forest!"


    Wei Fu said, "I''ll go find the vige chief!"


    Mao Tou said, "Brother Fu, I''ll go with you!" The two immediately rushed out. Tian Cang and the others didn''t have time to pack up, they ran directly to the backyard, opened the courtyard door, and ran towards the nearby forest.


    Luo Bo didn''t follow the crowd, but flew to Guan Shangli and shouted, "Let''s go!" Then he rushed towards the bungalow where Li Huai was. These two had always taken good care of them, so he had to notify them.


    In Hidden Huo City, most people were confused. Only the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and some knowledgeable Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were frantically fleeing.


    It was a joke. Three Elemental Infant stage experts were fighting in the sky. If you stayed in ce, you were seeking death. At the very least, you should first escape from their battle circle.


    In fact, whether it was Thousand Poisons, Brahman Sa, or Yin Jin, many of their weapons had been destroyed. Their currentbat power was much weaker than before.


    Because Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were relentlessly pursuing him, Thousand Poisons had no chance to rest, and he didn''t have the determination to fight to the death. This time he helped the Vast Gold Sect, he just wanted to take some advantage, but he didn''t expect to suffer heavy losses. Fighting to the death with Brahman Sa and Yin Jin would be a loss no matter how he calcted it.


    This was also the reason why Thousand Poisons fled. ording to his thinking, since he had already fled, which was a sign of weakness, the other party should know when to stop. But he didn''t expect the two to still be relentless, which annoyed him.


    He was also a rebellious person, he had always bullied others, and he had never been chased and killed like this before. Finally, he couldn''t bear it anymore.


    You think I''m afraid of you because I don''t show my power? Thene on!


    Thousand Poisons was furious. In fact, he was not afraid of the two, he just didn''t want to entangle with them. But at this point, he had no choice. Running all the way was against his nature.


    The cracks on the bowl became more and more obvious. Thousand Poisons knew that if he continued to use it, this treasure might bepletely ruined. This was his most handy weapon. Once it was destroyed, the loss would be quite heavy.


    Two sword lights streaked across the sky like thunder, shooting towards Thousand Poisons.


    Thousand Poisons teleported in an instant to avoid the attack. His defense had been mostly destroyed in front of the Sword Heart Sect''s treasure house, so he naturally didn''t dare to resist. He kept teleporting short distances, getting closer to the two little by little.


    The Poison Lotus released in the air was floating uncertainly. As he teleported, it also approached the two.


    When the three started fighting, there were still people below in a daze. However, the cultivators with a bit of knowledge had started to flee at this time.


    Zhang Ke led his family and ran wildly towards the forest. The old vige chief, Zhang Liben, carried his wife on his back and ran forward. He was a man with worldly martial arts, strong and fast. The tenants of the Western Evolutionary Sect behind him, all practiced martial arts, were agile and ran much faster than ordinary people.


    Luo Bo was flying close to the ground, pulling Wei Fu with one hand and Mao Tou with the other, chasing after Zhang Ke and the others who had left earlier.


    Mu Xiaoyin followed closely behind Zhang Ke. Da Zhu grabbed her wrist and ran with her. The difference between a beginner Evolutionary Immortal and a beginner cultivator was iparable.


    The cultivators ran fast and quickly entered the forest, while the ordinary people were much slower. Those who escaped were all rted to the cultivators. Those who had no rtionship were hiding in their homes, shivering. Listening to the rumbling in the sky, they could only leave their fate to the heavens.


    Two sword lights forced Thousand Poisons to turn around in a panic. He wasining in his heart. If it was one-on-one, he would not fear anyone. But two against one, especially when his weapon was greatly damaged, he was really in a bit of a predicament.At this moment, the extraordinary ability of Thousand Poisons was revealed. Whenever it was a critical moment, he would utter a mantra, cleverly maneuvering with the help of the Poison Lotus floating in the air. Although he was in a difficult situation, he could temporarily maintain an unbeaten state.


    Both Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were extremely wary of the Poison Lotus of Thousand Poisons. Especially Yin Jin, who had suffered from the Poison Lotus before, unconsciously felt some fear, which slightly affected hisbat power.


    Brahman Sa was anxious in her heart. The two of them joined forces, yet they still couldn''t quickly defeat Thousand Poisons. This made her feel quite angry, and her shots became more and more reckless.


    As her attack power increased, it immediately affected the Hidden Huo City below. Just the aftermath alone caused arge number of houses to copse. The cultivators were slightly better off, but the ordinary people were in great misfortune. Some were crushed or injured by the copsed houses, and some were directly killed by the aftermath of the attack. It was truly a massive loss of life.


    It was not until this moment that some dazed cultivators who were watching reacted and desperately fled.


    Thank you for the rewards and support from our little radish head and other book friends! (.)

 Chapter 253: Dead City

    <h4>Chapter 253: Dead City</h4>


    Three figures disyed their divine powers in the sky, fighting with earth-shattering force. Below, people fled in panic, and within Hidden Huo City, no one could stop their rampage.


    Countless cultivators cursed, and numerous ordinary people wept; truly, it was a situation where both heaven and earth were enraged.


    A Poison Lotus was shattered by Brahman Sa, but due to the nature of the Poison Lotus, even in pieces, it released a vast amount of Poisonous Threads. These threads were so potent that even Elemental Infant stage cultivators couldn''t withstand them, let alone those at the Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment stages. As for ordinary people, a single touch would instantly dissolve them into pools of blood.


    In just over ten minutes, Hidden Huo City had turned into a living hell. When high-level cultivators battle, those around them are bound to suffer!


    Zhang Ke and the others were the fastest to run, among the first to escape. Living on the outskirts of the city made their escape more convenient, and they narrowly avoided the first wave of attacks. Although the attacks weren''t aimed at the residents of Hidden Huo City, their immense power and wide reach still resulted in many deaths.


    Once in the forest, Tian Cang urged, "Keep running, as far as you can!"


    His experience far surpassed that of Guan Shangli and Li Huai, and Zhang Ke and the others couldn''tpare to Tian Cang, who had been adventuring outside for a long time and knew well the might of Elemental Infant stage cultivators.


    Thousand Poisons knew he couldn''t keep this up. Thebined strength of the male and female was truly formidable. Continuing the fight would be too much for him to handle. Despite his impressive strength, he couldn''t sustain such expenditure.


    He did have a powerful treasure in his possession, a one-time use trump card meant for preserving his life. He wouldn''t use it unless absolutely necessary.


    Thus, Thousand Poisons fled once again.


    The battle was swift in both its arrival and departure. Once Thousand Poisons fled, Brahman Sa and Yin Jin gave chase, paying no heed to those below.


    Zhang Ke and the others were still sprinting through the forest when suddenly, Tian Cang shouted, "Stop! Stop!"


    Everyone halted, looking at Tian Cang, puzzled as to why he had urged them to run one moment and to stop the next.


    Tian Cang leapt up,nding atop a tree, and looked towards Hidden Huo City. Soon after, he descended and announced, "They''ve left, they''re gone!"


    .


    Luo Bo also flew up to the treetops to check and indeed, there was no one in the sky, though a Poison Lotus still floated above.


    Thick smoke rose from Hidden Huo City, where some wooden houses were burning. The battle between just three Elemental Infant stage cultivators had nearly destroyed the city. Even more terrifying were the drifting Poisonous Threads, which even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn''t withstand, sparking another wave of refugees.


    Tian Cang said, "Let''s build a shelter here for now; we shouldn''t go back yet."


    Luo Bo asked, "What if Brother Xiao Mies back?"


    Tian Cang chuckled, "Little junior brother, wouldn''t your brother use a paper owl?"


    Luo Bo suddenly realized; he was still young and often overlooked many things.


    The paper owl was amonmunication method among low-level cultivators in the Cultivation World, effective within a hundred miles and quite reliable. Ny-nine percent of paper owls reached their destination sessfully.


    Of course, the Cultivation World had many advanced methods ofmunication, but those required a certain level of cultivation. For now, paper owls were the norm for mid- and low-level cultivators on Cangmin Star, though others might have different methods.


    Guan Shangli approached and suggested, "There''s a stream ahead; let''s build our shelter there. It''ll be more convenient for water."


    No one dared to return to Hidden Huo City, the sight of the drifting Poisonous Threads enough to keep them at bay.


    Gradually, even more terrifying news spread: contact with the Poisonous Threads meant even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn''t resist, and ordinary people would dissolve into puddles of blood.


    Before they could start chopping wood to build the shelter, Luo Bo, Tian Cang, Zhang Ke, Li Huai, and Guan Shangli decided to move even further away, as the area still wasn''t safe.


    The group reached the stream and followed it, moving further away, with arge group of people following behind, including low-level cultivators and mostly ordinary people who felt safer with the cultivators.


    Luo Bo and the others didn''t drive them away; they could help with various tasks in exchange for some food. These ordinary people were willing to work; the forest was full of wild beasts, and without the protection of cultivators, entering meant certain death.


    Following the stream, Luo Bo and his group didn''t dare to go too far, fearing that they might lose contact with Mi Xiaojing. In the Cultivation World, once separated, reuniting could be incredibly difficult.


    After about twenty miles, the cultivators were unfazed, but the ordinary people struggled. This was no easy path, but a dense forest. Without the cultivators clearing the way, they wouldn''t have made it this far.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji arrived at Hidden Huo City to a scene of devastation. The city was deserted, with most houses burned down and numerous bodies on the ground.


    Yong Ji said, "Let''s go down and take a look."


    The two descended from the sky to find silence; no living beings, no animals, just dark patches of blood on the ground. Mi Xiaojing stood in the middle of the street, his expression somber.


    He said, "So many have died," and sat down to chant mantras.


    As Mi Xiaojing chanted, an astonishing event unfolded. In an instant, the sound of weeping filled the air, and countless souls began to dissipate. The ominous atmosphere also gradually vanished.


    Yong Ji had long known that Mi Xiaojing was once an Evolutionary Immortal, but what he hadn''t expected was that, even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Mi Xiaojing still possessed such profound Evolutionary Immortality power.Mi Xiaojing sensed that this time, the chanting of the mantra was different from before, as if it had absorbed some unknown energy. His entire spiritual tower became active, growing bit by bit, and his Evolutionary Immortality cultivation level was rapidly increasing. This was something he could feel.


    This was also a form of Evolutionary Immortality cultivation,pletely different from the cultivation of Cultivators. It seemed to align with certain rules; as long as one practiced in this way, their cultivation level would increase.


    Yong Ji had also heard some rumors that if too many people died and there were no Evolutionary Immortals around, ghosts would soon appear. If someone ventured in, even stranger events would ur, especially for ordinary people, the harm would be immense.


    A purple-red lotus suddenly appeared at the street corner, sinking and floating, drifting along the way. Yong Ji''s hair stood on end in an instant; this thing gave him a tremendous sense of threat.


    This was the Poison Lotus left behind by Thousand Poisons. Since he had escaped, the Poison Lotus had been sinking and floating in this ce.


    What was most terrifying was that as the Poison Lotus drifted along, whenever it encountered a corpse, it wouldnd on the ground, and in an instant, it could dissolve the body. At the same time, the Poison Lotus would be even more vivid and eye-catching, as if it were seeking its own nutrients for growth.


    Just then, a person suddenly fell from the sky, immediately spotting Mi Xiaojing, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the street, and Yong Ji, who was standing behind Mi Xiaojing.

 Chapter 254锛孭art1: Poison Lotus

    <h4>Chapter 254£¬Part1: Poison Lotus</h4>


    This was a Rogue Cultivator whose strength surpassed Mi Xiaojing''s but fell short of Yong Ji''s, possessing the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage.


    Rogue Cultivators are always on high alert. The moment he saw Xiaojing, he recognized him as a disciple of the Heart Sect and felt a surge of joy, thinking he could rob him. But then he saw Yong Ji and immediately abandoned the idea of robbery. Not only that, but he also put on a friendly smile.


    Xiaojing found it amusing inside. This man was ying a game of changing faces. When he firstnded, his eyes were filled with excitement and greed, like a starving ghost who had seen a te of food. But in the blink of an eye, upon seeing Yong Ji, his face broke into a smile as if he had seen an old friend.


    "Hey, friend, what happened here? Why are so many people dead?"


    Neither Xiaojing nor Yong Ji spoke; they just coldly watched him. Both had no fondness for Rogue Cultivators, especially after the actions of some during the recent sect wars, which were truly detestable.


    The man slowly backed away, still wearing a deceptive smile, but his hand was already on his storage bag, clearly ready to strike at any moment.


    The two of them watched him as if he were a clown. Xiaojing even shook his head, his eyes conveying an inexplicable meaning, as if he were looking at a dead man, which made the Rogue Cultivator even more vignt. He kept retreating, saying, "Heh, I won''t disturb you any longer."


    Yong Ji''s face showed an even stronger taste of mockery, his lips curling slightly in a look that said you don''t know how close you are to death.


    Xiaojing said indifferently, "Stop backing up, or you''ll be unlucky." He couldn''t help but give a warning.


    The man finally couldn''t maintain his smile, and his face turned cold: "What do you want? You want to keep me here? Then let''s see if you have the ability!"


    Xiaojing replied, "No one wants to keep you. Are you feeling guilty like a thief?"


    The man was extremely wary: "Humph, let me tell you, I have a powerful Gang Thunder in my hand that, once detonated, will finish us all!"


    Yong Ji said impatiently, "Get lost! Stop your babbling and just go!"


    Xiaojing said, "Idiot, look behind you!"


    While retreating, the man said, "You want me to look back so you can attack, huh? Ah! What is this?" He stepped on a Poison Lotus behind him.


    Xiaojing was a bit puzzled and asked, "Why didn''t he believe me?"


    Yong Ji said calmly, "Because he had ill intentions from the start, so he thought your words were also ill-intentioned!"


    .


    The man stepped on the Poison Lotus, a thing not even a Cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage could withstand, let alone him, a mere early Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Instantly, the Poison Lotus prated his body.


    With no defense, the Poison Lotus invaded directly, and his leg began to rot upwards at an rming rate, leaving no time to react.


    In just a few breaths, the Poisonous Thread had reached his waist, and the man fell to the ground, howling, "You''ve tricked me!"


    Xiaojing sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, you wouldn''t listen. You''ve dug your own grave."


    Despair filled the man''s eyes, and suddenly he pped his storage bag, and a Magical Sword shed towards them: "Then let''s die together!"


    Yong Ji sneered, and his spiritual sword flew out. With a ng, it shattered the opponent''s Magical Sword. It was pitiful, really; even at the Foundation Establishment stage, this man still wielded a Magical Sword, and not even a top-tier one, which was pulverized by the Qianyang Sword in one strike.


    Yong Ji couldn''t be bothered to continue attacking. With a thought, the spiritual sword hovered in front of him, saying, "Die together? You wish!"


    Xiaojing had wanted to save the man, but seeing how malicious he was, he immediately dismissed the thought. He now understood that in the Cultivation World, not everyone deserved to be saved; those who should die must be allowed to die.


    The man watched as his body turned into a pool of blood. Cultivators have an astonishing vitality; even with half his body gone, his Golden Elixir destroyed, he was still stubbornly clinging to life.


    He hade to pick up an easy advantage but never expected to lose his life. He was truly unwilling, and it was only at this moment that he finally realized that Xiaojing had been telling the truth all along.


    He truly hated himself to the extreme. If Xiaojing had lied, he felt he might still have hope of living. It was because of the truth that he refused to believe.


    "I hate this so much!"


    Finally, the man couldn''t hold on any longer,pletely digested by the Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus turned from purple-red to dark purple, even growingrger in size. Not only was the man''s body melted away, but even his clothes and storage bag werepletely digested by the Poison Lotus.


    Yong Ji said, "Don''t move!"


    Xiaojing sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at the Poison Lotus. He was not unfamiliar with it; he even had four Poison Lotuses within his own body.


    Yong Ji, as if facing a great enemy, had an extremely ugly expression. He had a feeling that he couldn''t expel this Poison Lotus, nor could he avoid it. If he were to fly with his sword, the wind generated would be enough to allow the Poison Lotus to catch up, which is why he cautioned Xiaojing not to move.


    The Poison Lotus seemed as light as a feather, ready to pounce at the slightest disturbance.Yong Ji''s face was etched with caution, even a hint of nervousness. He was not confident in dealing with the Poison Lotus and could only hope that it would drift away on its own. Mi Xiaojing, however, appeared quite rxed, simply observing the Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus was gently bobbing, and with each tremor, Yong Ji''s brow would furrow. His spirit sword floated beside him, ready to be abandoned should the Poison Lotus approach. If he could just entangle the Poison Lotus, he and Mi Xiaojing could make their escape.


    But the Poison Lotus did not drift away; it merely floated up and down in ce, causing Yong Ji''s eyelids to twitch uncontrobly.


    Meanwhile, Mi Xiaojing was discussing with Wang Weijun.


    "Old man, do you think I can subdue this Poison Lotus?"


    The reason he dared not try was the sheer toxicity of the thing. The Mantra Poison that Mi Xiaojing had previously neutralized was brought out by the Poisonous Thread, not aplete Poison Lotus. He feared he wouldn''t be able to neutralize it and would end up harmed by the Poison Lotus, which would be a loss indeed.


    Wang Weijun replied decisively, "I do not know! I have little experience with things of Evolutionary Immortality; you must judge for yourself!"


    Mi Xiaojing was hesitant. He truly wanted to give it a try. The previous Poison Lotus had formed inexplicably, and he could find no basis for it; it had just appeared out of nowhere.


    He was unaware that within him was the Evolutionary Sect''s treasured Mantra Banner, which allowed him to neutralize the poison of the Poison Lotus and even replicate it. Although the replicated Poison Lotus was not as powerful as the real one, its might was still considerable.


    It was the Poison Lotus that had helped him escape danger when he first encountered Chen Shouyi.


    Thus, he was quite interested in the Poison Lotus. Faced with aplete one, Mi Xiaojing truly did not want to give up. If he were to leave now, he would surely regret it.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing felt that since he had a Poison Lotus within him, he might have a chance to subdue this one!

 Chapter 254锛孭art2: Poison Lotus

    <h4>Chapter 254£¬Part2: Poison Lotus</h4>


    This was a Rogue Cultivator whose strength surpassed Mi Xiaojing''s but fell short of Yong Ji''s, possessing the cultivation level of early Foundation Establishment.


    Rogue Cultivators are always on guard. The moment he saw Xiaojing, he recognized him as a disciple of the Heart Sect and was quite thrilled, thinking he could rob him. But then he saw Yong Ji and immediately abandoned the idea of robbery. Not only that, but he also put on a friendly smile.


    Xiaojing found it amusing inside. This man was ying a game of changing faces. When he firstnded, his eyes were filled with excitement and greed, like a starving ghost who had seen a te of food. But in the blink of an eye, upon seeing Yong Ji, his face immediately broke into a smile as if he had seen an old friend.


    "Hey, friend, what happened here? Why are so many people dead?"


    Neither Xiaojing nor Yong Ji spoke; they just coldly watched him. Both had no fondness for Rogue Cultivators, especially after the actions of some during the recent sect war, which were truly detestable.


    The man slowly backed away, still wearing a deceiving smile, but his hand was already on his storage bag, clearly ready to strike at any moment.


    The two of them watched him as if watching a clown. Xiaojing even shook his head, a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man, which made the Rogue Cultivator even more vignt. He kept retreating step by step, saying, "Heh, I won''t disturb you then."


    The scorn on Yong Ji''s face grew thicker, his lips curling slightly in a look that said you don''t know how close you are to death.


    Xiaojing said indifferently, "Stop backing up, or you''ll be unlucky." He couldn''t help but give a warning.


    Finally, the man could no longer maintain his smile, and his expression turned cold: "What do you want? You want to keep me here? Then let''s see if you have the ability!"


    Xiaojing replied, "No one wants to keep you. Are you feeling guilty like a thief?"


    The man was extremely wary: "Humph, let me tell you, I have a powerful Gang Thunder in my hand. Once it explodes, we all die!"


    Yong Ji said impatiently, "Get lost! Stop babbling and just go!"


    Xiaojing said, "Idiot, look behind you!"


    While retreating, the man said, "You want to trick me into looking back so you can attack, huh? Ah! What is this?" He stepped on a Poison Lotus behind him.


    Xiaojing was puzzled and asked, "Why didn''t he believe what I said?"


    Yong Ji replied indifferently, "Because he had ill intentions from the start, so he thought your words were also ill-intentioned."


    The man stepped on the Poison Lotus, which even a high-level Elemental Infant Cultivator couldn''t withstand, let alone him, a Cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Instantly, the Poison Lotus entered his body.


    With no defense, the Poison Lotus invaded directly, and his leg began to rot upwards in an instant, the speed so fast that there was no time to react.


    In a few breaths, the Poisonous Thread had reached his waist, and the man fell to the ground, howling, "You''ve set me up!"


    Xiaojing sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, you wouldn''t listen. You''ve dug your own grave."


    Despair filled the man''s eyes, and suddenly he pped his storage bag, and a Magical Sword shed towards them: "Then let''s die together!"


    Yong Ji sneered, and his spiritual sword flew out. With a ng, it shattered the opponent''s Magical Sword. It was pitiful, really. Even with the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, the man still wielded a Magical Sword, and not even a top-tier one, which was pulverized by a single strike from the Qianyang Sword.


    Yong Ji couldn''t be bothered to continue attacking. With a thought, the spiritual sword hovered in front of him, saying, "Die together? You wish!"


    Xiaojing had wanted to save the man, but seeing how malicious he was, he immediately dismissed the thought. He now understood that in the Cultivation World, not everyone deserved to be saved. Those who should die had to be left to their fate.


    The man watched as his body turned into a pool of blood. Cultivators have astonishing vitality; even with half his body gone and his Golden Elixir dissipated, he was still stubbornly clinging to life.


    He hade hoping to pick up some easy gains, but instead, he was about to lose his life. He was truly unwilling, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that Xiaojing had been telling the truth all along.


    He truly hated himself to the extreme. If Xiaojing had lied, he felt he might still have hope to live. It was precisely because Xiaojing had told the truth that he refused to believe it.


    "I hate this!"


    Finally, the man could no longer hold on and waspletely digested by the Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus turned from purple-red to dark purple and even grewrger. Not only was the man''s body dissolved, but even his clothes and storage bag werepletely digested by the Poison Lotus.


    Yong Ji said, "Don''t move!"


    Xiaojing sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the Poison Lotus intently. He was not unfamiliar with it; he still had four Poison Lotuses inside his own body.


    Yong Ji was on high alert, his face extremely grim. He had a feeling that he couldn''t dispel this Poison Lotus, nor could he avoid it. If he were to fly away with his sword, the wind generated would be enough to allow the Poison Lotus to catch up. That''s why he warned Xiaojing not to move.


    The Poison Lotus seemed light as a feather, ready to pounce at the slightest disturbance.


    Yong Ji was very cautious, even nervous. He wasn''t sure he could handle the Poison Lotus and could only hope it would drift away on its own. Xiaojing, however, was quite rxed, simply observing the Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus floated slightly, and with each tremor, Yong Ji frowned. His spiritual sword floated beside him, ready to abandon his Qianyang Sword and entangle the Poison Lotus if it approached, allowing him and Xiaojing to escape.


    But the Poison Lotus didn''t drift away; it just floated up and down in ce, making Yong Ji''s eyelids twitch.


    Xiaojing, however, was discussing with Wang Weijun.


    "Old man, do you think I can take this Poison Lotus?"


    The reason he dared not try was that the thing was too poisonous. The True Word Poison that Xiaojing had previously resolved was brought out by the Poisonous Thread, not aplete Poison Lotus. He feared he couldn''t neutralize it and would end up injured by the Poison Lotus, which would be a bad deal.Wang Weijun spoke decisively, "I have no idea! I''ve never had much experience with things rted to Evolutionary Immortality; you''ll have to judge for yourself!"


    Mi Xiaojing hesitated, truly wanting to give it a try. The previous Poison Lotus had formed inexplicably, and he couldn''t find any basis for it; it had just appeared out of thin air.


    He was unaware that within himy the Evolutionary Sect''s treasured Mantra Banner, which allowed him to neutralize the poison of the Poison Lotus and also replicate it. Although the replicated Poison Lotus was not as powerful as the genuine one, its might was still quite formidable.


    It was the Poison Lotus that had helped him escape danger when he first encountered Chen Shouyi.


    Thus, he was extremely interested in the Poison Lotus. Coming across aplete Poison Lotus, Mi Xiaojing truly did not want to give up. If he were to leave just like that, he would surely regret it.


    Moreover, Mi Xiaojing felt that since he had a Poison Lotus within him, he should have a chance to subdue this one!

 Chapter 255: Yang Shan

    <h4>Chapter 255: Yang Shan</h4>


    The Poison Lotus had swelled to the size of a washbasin. A gust of wind blew by, and the Poison Lotus immediately took to the air with the breeze.


    Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji both dared not move. Fortunately, the wind came from the side, and the direction in which the Poison Lotus drifted was not where they were.


    As they watched the Poison Lotus drift away, Yong Ji stared intently. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Poison Lotus was attracted by a corpse and instantly settled upon it. In a few breaths, the corpsepletely vanished, sending chills down the spines of Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji.


    Yong Ji whispered, "Let''s slowly back away."


    Mi Xiaojing shook his head, "You go first, I''ll wait a bit longer."


    Yong Ji was stunned, "What do you mean?"


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Look." As he spoke, he extended his palm, and a Poison Lotus slowly bloomed.


    The Poison Lotus was only the size of a fist, yet it gave Yong Ji a sense of crisis. He eximed in shock, "You have one too?" If they hadn''te out of the Heart Sect together, he would have thought that the Poison Lotus was released by Mi Xiaojing.


    "It''s a bit different from that Poison Lotus. Well, let''s just say, this Poison Lotus was cultivated inspired by the Thousand Poisons."


    Yong Ji was so shocked he couldn''t speak. To think that seeing a Poison Lotus could lead one to cultivate their own? If he didn''t know Mi Xiaojing''s character, he would have pped him for spouting nonsense.


    But Yong Ji knew that Mi Xiaojing never lied to his own people. He would either remain silent or speak the truth. After all, he had protected Mi Xiaojing for a while and had some understanding of the young man''s temperament.


    This kid didn''t seem like a cultivator from the Cultivation World at all.


    Seeing this Poison Lotus, Yong Ji''s curiosity was piqued, and he said, "Alright, let''s wait a bit longer."


    At that moment, another cultivator fell from the sky. Yong Ji recognized him, and Mi Xiaojing had seen him before too. In the Heart Sect, he was considered Yong Ji''s junior brother.


    Yang Shan! A subordinate of Mu Hengyuan.


    "Don''t move!"


    "Stand still and don''t move!"


    Yang Shan was startled and asked, "What?"


    Yong Ji said urgently, "Don''t move at all!"


    /p>


    The moment Yang Shannded, the Poison Lotus drifted towards him. He saw the Poison Lotus but had not yet realized what it was.


    Yong Ji watched as the Poison Lotus neared Yang Shan. With a swift motion, he grabbed a stone that fell into his palm and flung it. The stone grazed past the Poison Lotus, which seemed to be stimted and whooshed after the stone instantly.


    Seeing the Poison Lotus move away, Yong Ji was overjoyed inside, as he had roughly figured out how to divert the Poison Lotus.


    Yang Shan then approached and asked, "Senior brother Yong, what are you doing here? Who destroyed this ce?"


    Yong Ji replied, "It was probably destroyed by an Elemental Infant stage expert. That Poison Lotus must be one of Thousand Poisons'' tricks."


    It was Yang Shan''s first encounter with a Poison Lotus, but he knew of Thousand Poisons. He had seen him from afar on the main peak during the second attack by the Vast Gold Sect and knew he was an ally of the sect.


    Yang Shan wasn''t present for thest battle of the Heart Sect, as he was out on a mission. Therefore, he wasn''t very clear about the current situation of the sect.


    Yang Shan said, "I was just about to return to the sect. I happened to pass by here. How''s the sect doing?"


    Yong Ji was surprised, "You don''t know?" He thought Yang Shan had also escaped.


    Yang Shan replied, "I''ve been outside all this time and am not clear about the situation of the sect. What happened?"


    Yong Ji sighed and said, "The sect is gone. There''s no need for you to return to the sect. Almost everyone is gone. I''m probably thest one to escape."


    Yang Shan was dumbfounded. He didn''t doubt Yong Ji and said with a bitter smile, "Can you tell me what happened?"


    Yong Ji briefly recounted everything he knew, and Yang Shan said dejectedly, "What do we do now?"


    Yong Ji shook his head, "Without any notice or orders from the sect, to be honest, I don''t know!"


    Yang Shan said, "We should at least go back once, right?"


    Mi Xiaojing interjected, "The underground fire erupted, and the sect has been submerged inva. There''s nothing to see if we go back."


    Yang Shan recognized Mi Xiaojing and knew of his alchemy skills. After some thought, he said, "Is it just the two of you now? Are there others?"


    Yong Ji replied, "We haven''t seen anyone else."


    An idea crossed Yang Shan''s mind, and he said, "I see. Can I follow you guys?"


    Yong Ji immediately weed, "Of course!"


    Mi Xiaojing smiled, "The more, the merrier. There are still people in Hidden Huo City. I''ll send a paper owl to see where they are." He wasn''t too worried about Luo Bo and the others, knowing they lived outside the city and could escape even if there was a fight.


    Yang Shan was overjoyed. What he valued was Mi Xiaojing''s alchemy skills. Without the sect, getting good Spirit Pills would be nearly impossible. But following Mi Xiaojing was different. As long as they found the right materials and asked Mi Xiaojing for help with alchemy, there wouldn''t be much of a problem. This would solve the issue of obtaining Spirit Pills.


    Following Mi Xiaojing, even as his guard, was better than being a lone Rogue Cultivator.


    Mi Xiaojing released a paper owl and said, "Wait a moment. Let''s move back a bit first."


    The three of them slowly retreated, temporarily distancing themselves from the Poison Lotus. They hadn''t gone far when a long, nearly invisible thread drifted close to the ground. Yang Shan, walking in front, stepped on it, and the thread instantly wrapped around him.


    With a sizzle like a hot iron plunged into cold water, Mi Xiaojing''s face changed instantly, "Poisonous Thread! Who touched it?!"Then they saw a wisp of blue smoke rising from Yang Shan''s ankle, and the expressions of the three men changed drastically.


    Mi Xiaojing shouted, "Don''t move! I''ll handle this!"


    In the time it took to utter that sentence, Yang Shan could no longer stand and plopped down on his buttocks. He sped his knees with both hands, trying to stop the Poisonous Thread from climbing further: "What kind of poison is this?"


    Yong Ji thought to himself, "It''s over, how could I forget that Poisonous Threads are drifting all around here? Now we''re in trouble. Who can cure the poison drawn by Thousand Poisons?"


    Yang Shan was sweating profusely, feeling faint-hearted. He had no hope of curing the poison left by the Elemental Infant Ancestor and looked up, saying, "Quick, cut off my leg, or it''ll be toote!"


    Yong Ji''s spirit sword flickered, but Mi Xiaojing hastily said, "Wait!"


    Yang Shan became more anxious: "Cut it off! There''s no time!"


    Mi Xiaojing shouted, "I can save you!" If the leg was cut off, it would be very difficult to reattach, and Yang Shan''s strength would be greatly reduced. Mi Xiaojing was confident in saving him, as he had previously saved Mu Hengyuan.


    Yong Ji said solemnly, "Can you really save him?" This question was directed at Yang Shan. Having seen Mi Xiaojing''s Poison Lotus, Yong Ji had a certain confidence in Mi Xiaojing''s ability to treat Yang Shan.


    Yang Shan''s face changed dramatically; he discovered that the Poisonous Thread had already invaded his lower abdomen. Even if his thigh was cut off now, it would be toote. Hisplexion turned ashen, and he sighed deeply, "If you can''t cure the poison, I... I''m done for! s."


    Mi Xiaojing wasted no time in talking. He squatted down, and suddenly, a Poison Lotus appeared in his hand, causing Yang Shan''s eyes to nearly pop out in astonishment. He had not expected Mi Xiaojing to also possess a Poison Lotus, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

 Chapter 256: Reunion

    <h4>Chapter 256: Reunion</h4>


    Yang Shan watched Mi Xiaojing with desperate eyes, fully aware of the terror of the poison. Once it invaded his Dan Tian in the abdomen and contaminated his Golden Elixir, he wouldn''t be able to withstand it.


    He secretly hoped, watching as the Poison Lotus floated up, hovering over his abdomen.


    Then he witnessed a peculiar scene: a Poisonous Thread emerged from the root of Yang Shan''s thigh, slowly touching the Poison Lotus. Xiaojing softlymanded, "Rotate!"


    The Poison Lotus began to spin like a windmill, drawing out the Poisonous Thread bit by bit. In just a few moments, the thread was absorbed by Mi Xiaojing''s Poison Lotus.


    The Poison Lotus, which had been somewhat ethereal, became slightly more vivid after absorbing the Poisonous Thread. Mi Xiaojing''s heart stirred, and he threw the Poison Lotus with a flick of his hand while uttering a single-word true incantation.


    Gather!


    Rotate!


    The Poison Lotus began to spin rapidly, drifting along and instantly absorbing the Poisonous Threads scattered around. At this time, the Poison Lotus that had been aimlessly floating in the distance andnding on corpses was also attracted by Mi Xiaojing''s Poison Lotus and drifted towards him.


    Yong Ji and Yang Shan were dumbfounded. Neither had expected Mi Xiaojing to have such a bizarre method. Was this the poison used by an Elemental Infant stage expert, and it was just neutralized by Mi Xiaojing?


    The two Poison Lotuses collided silently, instantly forming a water jar-sized lotus flower, blood-red and vivid to the extreme.


    .


    Mi Xiaojing could feel the presence of the Poison Lotus and had an intangible connection with it. With a thought, the bright red lotus floated back to him.


    As the Poison Lotus approached, Yong Ji and Yang Shan couldn''t help but step back. Only then did Yang Shan realize that the Poisonous Thread in his body waspletely gone, and he was overjoyed. However, seeing the bright red Poison Lotus, he still couldn''t help but feel palpitations, an instinctive fear that kept him from getting close.


    Mi Xiaojing was also somewhat nervous, unsure if his Poison Lotus couldpletely neutralize the Thousand Poisons'' Poison Lotus. After a moment''s hesitation, he gritted his teeth and extended his palm. In an instant, countless Spirit Script chains formed and extended along his arm, connecting with the bright red Poison Lotus.


    Seeing the golden Spirit Script chains, Mi Xiaojing immediately rxed. He knew the perversion of this thing; almost nothing could escape the entanglement of these chains.


    The Poison Lotus, which had originally swelled to the size of a water jar, began to shrink instantly once the golden Spirit Script chains were applied, quickly bing the size of a fist.


    Now looking at the Poison Lotus, it was truly a sight to behold, beautiful to the extreme. The bright red petals, like carved jade, shimmered with a faint light, making the Poison Lotus incredibly enchanting.


    Through the Spirit Script chains, Mi Xiaojing sensed that this Poison Lotus was different from his original one. The current Poison Lotus was much more powerful than before.


    The Poison Lotus gently turned andnded in Mi Xiaojing''s palm. By this time, Yong Ji and Yang Shan understood that Mi Xiaojing had sessfully collected the Poison Lotus, and they couldn''t help but marvel, not expecting Mi Xiaojing to have such a skill.


    The two watched as the Poison Lotus gradually disappeared without a trace.


    Mi Xiaojing smoothly absorbed the Poison Lotus into his body and sat down cross-legged again, paying no attention to Yong Ji and Yang Shan. He needed to observe the changes in the Dan Tian''s Heart Tower.


    When the Poison Lotus entered the Dan Tian, the other three Poison Lotuses immediately gathered around the neer and began to assimte. In just a few moments, the four lotuses separated, circling around the decoy, all turning bright red!


    Mi Xiaojing was secretly delighted; he found that he could release these four Poison Lotuses at any time.


    As Mi Xiaojing collected the Poison Lotus, Thousand Poisons, who was still battling Brahman Sa and her husband, immediately sensed it. The Poison Lotus was actually left behind by Thousand Poisons on purpose. He needed to use the corpses of Cultivators and mortals to nurture this Poison Lotus. However, he never imagined that he would lose contact with the Poison Lotus.


    What he couldn''t understand the most was who could destroy or take away the Poison Lotus he had left behind. He almost immediately thought of one person.


    Ancestor Gu Ban!


    Thinking of this, Thousand Poisons broke out in a cold sweat. If it was Ancestor Gu Ban who had destroyed the Poison Lotus, he wouldn''t have the slightest thought of returning. That old fellow was too terrifying; he had no qualifications to fight against him. Although extremely annoyed, Thousand Poisons didn''t dwell on it. If it was gone, it was gone.


    This was originally Thousand Poisons'' contingency n. If the Poison Lotus had devoured all the corpses, its power would have greatly increased. By then, he would have the confidence to make Brahman Sa and Yin Jin suffer by turning back with them.


    In a sh of thought, Thousand Poisons continued to fly into the distance. Without his contingency n, he no longer considered circling back to Hidden Huo City, as that might lead to an encounter with Ancestor Gu Ban, and he had no confidence in facing such an expert.


    Mi Xiaojing, on the other hand, hadn''t expected that collecting the Poison Lotus would have the added benefit of scaring away Thousand Poisons. Just then, a message came back from the paper owl. Mi Xiaojing nced at it and couldn''t help but smile.


    Zhang Ke and Luo Bo were in a forest not far away. Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were safe, everything was going smoothly. Moreover, he had obtained the treasure from the Heart Sect''s Mysterious Heaven Formation.


    When the snipe and the m grapple, it''s the fisherman who benefits!


    This time, Mi Xiaojing was the fisherman.Regardless of whether it was the Heart Sect or the Vast Gold Sect, or even the hired experts, each party was a loser. Only Mi Xiaojing, who muddied the waters to fish, reaped the greatest rewards. Moreover, Zhang Ke and his group encountered no mishaps, which greatly lifted his spirits.


    Yong Ji inquired, "Did you find them?"


    Mi Xiaojing replied with a joyful smile, "Yes, they fled from the start, right into the forest. Let''s go!"


    The trio took to the skies, with Mi Xiaojing leading the two towards the forest. With a clear direction, locating Zhang Ke and the others was easy. Gliding close to the treetops, they quickly found the crowd that had set up wooden shelters.


    Mi Xiaojing and hispanionsnded by the stream, immediately startling the group of lumberjacks.


    Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing descend, Luo Bo eximed with surprise and delight, "Brother Xiao Mi! Haha, Brother Xiao Mi is back!"


    In an instant, the heart that had been hanging in suspense was finally at ease. It felt as if they had found their backbone, for having advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, Luo Bo had be the strongest among them and naturally one of the main decision-makers, even though he was still a child.


    Zhang Ke, carrying a log, heard Luo Bo''s shout, let go of the wood, and ran over, joyfully saying, "It''s great that Little Uncle Master is here!"


    Mu Xiaoyin stood silently, watching Mi Xiaojing without saying a word.


    As for Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu, they too gathered around, their little faces flushed with excitement. With Mi Xiaojing present, they all felt at ease.


    During this time, their hearts had been filled with fear and unease, and the chaotic news had left them unsure of what to do. Now that Mi Xiaojing was back, he would be the one to decide their future. To be continued.

 Chapter 257: Tianyuan Market

    <h4>Chapter 257: Tianyuan Market</h4>


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Is everyone doing alright?"


    Zhang Ke smiled and replied, "All good, we''ve been waiting for you toe back."


    Mi Xiaojing said, "Let''s all stop here, no need to set up the wooden shed anymore. We must leave this ce."


    At that moment, Tian Cang came over and asked, "Leave this ce?"


    Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "The sect has been destroyed, we can''t return anymore. We need to find a ce to settle down. This area isn''t safe, it''s too chaotic, we must get far away from here."


    Not only did Tian Cange over, but Guan Shangli and Li Huai also approached. When they saw Yong Ji and Yang Shan, they were immediately taken aback. These were the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the sect, and they promptly stepped forward to pay their respects.


    Yong Ji waved his hand and said, "Listen to him," pointing at Mi Xiaojing.


    Yang Shan didn''t speak, but his expression was the same, also supporting Mi Xiaojing. Ever since Mi Xiaojing had saved him, he had been nning to follow him temporarily, because he knew that Mi Xiaojing was extremely skilled in alchemy. At the very least, following him meant having ess to Spirit Pills, and even if he had to find the materials himself, it was much easier than purchasing Spirit Pills outside.


    Without the support and help of the sect, cultivation would only be more difficult. Being able to follow an alchemy master was clearly beneficial.


    In fact, Mi Xiaojing himself didn''t know where to go. The only thing he was sure of was to stay away from the Heart Sect, as this ce was no longer suitable to stay. Due to the eruption of the underground magma, it would eventually reach this area. This region was a in, covered with dense primeval forests. Once ignited, the entire in would be a fiery field, and it was uncertain how long it would burn before it could be quelled.


    This was also a reminder from Wang Weijun. Such a fire, once spread, might not be extinguished for years.


    They must get far away from here. Mi Xiaojing asked, "We need to go somewhere far. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Where would be appropriate? I''m not very clear on that."


    The old vige chief led people to clear a small open space, and Zhang Ke brought out tables and chairs. Ever since he had a storage bag, he could basically pack an entire household inside, not just tables, chairs, and beds, but also pots, pans, and condiments, all carried with him.


    Mi Xiaojing, Yong Ji, Yang Shan, Guan Shangli, Li Huai, Tian Cang, and Luo Bo sat down. Luo Bo, having advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, also had the qualifications to discuss with everyone. Although he hardly understood anything, the Cultivation World was strict with its hierarchy. Once you reached a certain cultivation level, you belonged to that ss of people.


    Yong Ji and Yang Shan were both Foundation Establishment Cultivators, holding the highest status among this group. Of course, because they were following Mi Xiaojing, his status was on par with theirs, which was a special case.


    Unseen, Mi Xiaojing had be the leader of this small group.


    Tian Cang said, "This area used to be under the control of the Heart Sect, now it''s vacant. Further ahead is the Cang River. The Cang River is wide, with mountains on both sides. Crossing the Cang River, you reach Tianyuan Market, arge market for cultivators. Most of the Cultivation Sects on Cangmin Star have shops there."


    "There are many rogue cultivators and sect disciples in Tianyuan Market, making it a very lively ce. I think it''s a choice."


    Yong Ji was a bit surprised and said, "You seem to know quite a lot."


    Tian Cang gave a bitter smile and said, "One of my legs and an arm were lost there."


    Yang Shan was surprised and said, "You managed to escape back? That''s lucky."


    Tian Cang immediately felt displeased upon hearing this, but Yang Shan was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and even if Tian Cang was upset, he couldn''t retort. It wasn''t luck, but his strength that allowed him to fight his way out of an encirclement.


    Tianyuan Market.


    Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment. He hadn''t heard of it before, but since it was a market, then relying on his alchemy skills, he should be able to support thisrge group of people. This was the mindset he had developed in the Western Expansion Sect. Since he was leading these people, he had to consider their cultivation and livelihood.


    Just like when he took in Luo Bo, he never thought of abandoning them, nor would he only care about his own life.


    "Is this market big? Is it convenient to gather materials? Can Spirit Pills be sold there?"


    Upon hearing this, both Yong Ji and Yang Shanughed.


    Yong Ji said, "Tianyuan Market is a ce where almost all Cultivation Sects send people. There, you can find all kinds of materials, weapons, and Spirit Pills, including talismans. It all depends on whether you have Spirit Stones. It''s also a gathering ce for rogue cultivators because in Tianyuan Market, it''s easier to obtain the resources you want."


    Tian Cang said, "There are many powerful experts in Tianyuan Market. Although there are many private fights and killings,rge-scale ughters of experts, like what happened in Hidden Huo City, are absolutely forbidden. Whoever dares to do so will be attacked by all the experts."


    What Mi Xiaojing wanted was safety and resources. Although the safety of Tianyuan Market couldn''t be fully guaranteed, the resources were good, and Mi Xiaojing was somewhat tempted.


    His Divine Sense sank into his Dan Tian, and he began to discuss with Wang Weijun.Wang Weijun, strictly speaking, was also an outsider and not familiar with Cangmin Star. He had never been to Tianyuan Market, and with his cultivation level, such a market didn''t hold much significance for him.


    "Old man, I think going to Tianyuan Market isn''t a bad idea, what do you think?"


    "Up to you, I don''t really care either way."


    "Alright, then let''s head to Tianyuan Market!"


    In the end, Mi Xiaojing didn''t really have a choice. He didn''t know where else to go, so since there was such a ce, he might as well check it out first. If it wasn''t suitable, they could always look for another ce.


    Soon, everyone agreed on the decision. Although Tianyuan Market was far away, there wasn''t a more suitable ce nearby. They couldn''t just settle down in some deste mountains and wild ridges, after all, humans are social creatures by nature.


    Cultivators can live in solitude because once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment phase, their range of activity can extend very far. For ordinary people, however, their living range is often limited to within a hundred miles.


    If ordinary people settle down in the wilderness, it''s not too bad if there are many of them, but if there are few, they could disappear without a trace, either eaten by wild beasts or defeated by the harsh natural environment.


    Mi Xiaojing was also responsible for the ordinary people like the old vige chief, and he couldn''t bear to abandon them, so he had to find a ce where ordinary people could live.


    Tianyuan Market was a good choice.


    Tian Cang asked, "How do we get there?"


    Mi Xiaojing looked at the old vige chief and a group of ordinary people busy in the distance and said with a wry smile, "We walk, how else can we get there?"


    Tian Cang shook his head repeatedly, Yong Ji also showed an expression of disbelief, and Yang Shan said, "It''s too far. If we walk there, not to mention the dangers along the way, just the time it would take would be about a year to a year and a half. That''s apletely different concept from flying."


    Yong Ji nodded and said, "Yeah, without a good method, we can only force our way through and carve out a path. The distance is too great, it''s not realistic." To be continued.
