Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 328 The Shadow-Chasing Shuttle, Completely Recognizing its Master

Zhang Lingyu has now successfully formed his core, and most of the foundation-building magic tools, such as the Spirit-Binding Rope, are no longer needed.

It would be better to leave it to Wang Menghan and the others; they would have more ways to protect themselves.

Even the two magic embryos obtained from killing Tang Wei in the ruins of the Spirit Puppet Sect were bestowed upon Zhang Yuanyao and Mo Wuyai.

Both of them are in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and they can exert considerable power in your hands.

After bestowing the gifts and giving all the necessary instructions, he dismissed everyone except his own disciples.

He gently patted the storage bag and took out the Six Paths Mystic Thunder Flying Sword.

The six flying swords were already top-grade Foundation Establishment swords when they were first forged, and after so many years of refinement, they are now close to top-grade!

He successfully advanced by absorbing a trace of heavenly lightning power during his tribulation a few days ago.

Seeing Zhang Lingyu take out his most precious possessions, the girl was at a loss and hurriedly waved her hands: "Master, you have bestowed too much upon me. This disciple already has enough. These Six Paths Flying Swords are for you to use as your natal magic weapon in the future."

"If it's handed over to a disciple, it would be too troublesome to repair if it gets bumped or damaged!"

"Master, I do have the idea of ​​refining the Xuan Ting Flying Sword into my natal magic weapon, but the spiritual materials are hard to find, and I don't know when I'll be able to find them. I'm already a Golden Core cultivator, so the Xuan Ting Flying Sword is of no use to me now. You can take it without worry." Zhang Lingyu smiled and shook his head.

The Xuan Ting Flying Sword, a top-grade sword for Foundation Establishment cultivators, is priceless in the eyes of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but what is it worth in the eyes of Golden Core cultivators?

If you were to take it out to fight against other Golden Core cultivators or Demon Kings, it would not only be a laughing stock, but it would also likely shatter into pieces if it were to lightly touch other magical treasures.

It would be better to give it to Wang Menghan; not only would it save her life, but she could also kill more monsters and earn more merit points.

The girl initially wanted to refuse, but when she met Zhang Lingyu's somewhat angry eyes, she had no choice but to accept the flying sword.

With just a gentle touch of her jade hand on the sword, she could feel the immense thunder surging within it.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Don't mention it, there's more!"

Zhang Lingyu smiled, and another jade bead appeared in his hand. It was a trophy obtained from killing Huang Yunshan. Placing it in his sea of ​​consciousness could calm his mind and resist attacks on his soul.

This item played a crucial role in preventing Yue Yi from possessing the body.

After explaining the function of the jade bead, Wang Menghan also stored it in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Since Zhang Lingyu's realm was still unstable after his breakthrough, Wang Menghan did not want to disturb him any further. Besides, she still needed to refine her magic weapon a little, so she got up and left.

Just as she was about to leave, Zhang Lingyu called her back.

"Meng Han, how are the Soul-Devouring Bees doing?"

Because Zhang Lingyu had been in seclusion for eleven years, the cultivation of the Soul-Devouring Bees was entirely entrusted to the clan.

When Wang Menghan returned from his training, the bee swarm was naturally handed over to his personally trained disciple.

"I report to Master that during your eleven years of seclusion, the bee swarm has produced six more queen bees, bringing the total to nine. They are all in my spirit insect pouch and have played a significant role in resisting the beast tide. Ordinary fourth-tier demonic beasts would be devoured in less than a quarter of an hour."

Speaking of this, Wang Menghan's face lit up with a smile.

It was thanks to these nine queen bees and the swarm that she was able to achieve remarkable feats in resisting the beast tide with her mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation. Even peak fourth-order demonic beasts would have to give her a wide berth.

"Master, would you like to take it back?"

"No need, you can use it for now. The swarm of bees doesn't pose much of a threat to the Demon King and the Golden Core cultivators right now. They'll be wiped out with just a gentle release of their aura..." Zhang Lingyu shook his head.

There's no way to help unless a Demon King-level Soul-Devouring Bee appears.

Even if the queen bee consumes a large number of spiritual objects or eight other queen bees, it is not so easy to advance in rank, just as described in "The True Explanation of Controlling Insects of Ten Thousand Spirits".

The Golden Core stage is a hurdle for cultivators, the Transformation Tribulation is a hurdle for demons, and the ability to break through to the fifth rank is the same for spirit insects.

"Whether it's cultivating a queen bee of demon king caliber or inducing them to mutate, it seems we'll have to wait until after the great chaos ends."

Zhang Lingyu shook his head inwardly, but suddenly looked outside the cave. Logically speaking, he should be in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, and even Wang Menghan did not dare to stay here. However, there was a person standing there straight.

He recognized the man; he was Yue Yi, who lived in Tianliu City!

"Senior Yue, please come in!"

The cave entrance opened again, and a man dressed in black robes strode in, bowing respectfully and saying, "Fellow Daoist, congratulations!"

"You flatter me, senior. Please have a seat!"

Zhang Lingyu personally poured tea for him, and seeing that his cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, his eyes widened in surprise. He praised, "Senior, your speed is incredible! It seems you can go into seclusion and form your Core at any time!"

"That's fast? If those old monsters find out, won't they laugh at me?"

Yue Yi was originally a peak Golden Core cultivator, but in just eleven years he has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. This speed is not only not praiseworthy, but it also makes people feel that it is slow.

In fact, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago, but at that time, the demon race and demonic cultivators had already begun to make great moves, and there was not a single peaceful place left in the entire southeastern cultivation world.

In fact, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago, but at that time, the demon race and demonic cultivators had already begun to make great moves, and there was not a single peaceful place left in the entire southeastern cultivation world.

"You didn't just come to congratulate me this time, did you?"

"Of course, with such a great calamity before us, even Nascent Soul cultivators might not be able to save their lives, let alone me?"

"Does Senior mean... to go to the cultivation world in the East Sea?" Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly.

The man before me is unlikely to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime, but his only wish before his death is to rebuild the Spirit Puppet Sect.

The entire cultivation world in the southeast is currently in turmoil. Leaving before the war fully breaks out is the best option, and the only suitable place is the vast East Sea.

If it weren't for the perilous nature of the East Sea, where they feared being wiped out by a horde of monsters on the way, Zhang Lingyu would have already led his people away.

"That's not it. With my current Foundation Establishment cultivation, where could I possibly go? Besides, there are Golden Core cultivators guarding Linhai County. If I'm discovered to be going to sea without permission, I'll be beheaded immediately."

"It's this strict. It seems the Six Sects are determined to defend Zhao to the death." Zhang Lingyu nodded.

"Of course, it has been passed down here for thousands of years. How could we let demonic cultivators and demon races trample on the Ancestral Hall? Also, don't be fooled by the rampant demon race and Tianxie. Some of the sects in the Six Sects have not yet revealed their trump cards."

Yue Yi sneered, "Leaving aside other families, the founder of Jade Light Pavilion came from Central Plains back then. He was already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. It is said that he possessed a jade mirror that was inextricably linked to his life, and its power was immense!"

The Spirit Puppet Sect has been passed down for over four thousand years and is the largest sect after the Six Sects. As the sect leader, he naturally knows many secrets.

But the conversation abruptly ended there, and it's unclear whether the most crucial information was something they genuinely didn't know or simply didn't want to discuss.

Zhang Ling wisely refrained from pressing the matter further, knowing that if things truly came to a critical moment, the Jade Light Pavilion would certainly be utilized.

"So, what brings you here today, senior?"

"I've come here to find Elder Kui and retrieve some magical artifacts or similar items to protect myself during this chaotic time."

"I see. That just so happens that I also need to borrow some things from the senior and Elder Kui to ensure the life of my little Golden Core."

Zhang Lingyu had been thinking of using a magic weapon, and it seems his wish came true.

With a flash of inspiration, the Puppet Master landed steadily inside the cave.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a large number of magical artifacts and pills were laid out on the table, and the cave was instantly filled with dazzling light.

"Not only were they wiped out by the Demon Emperor, but they were also looted by other cultivators, yet they still have so many good things left. The Spirit Puppet Sect is indeed well-off."

He nodded secretly. Yue Yi, who was standing to the side, had already started to exert his power. With his current level of magical power, a low-grade Golden Core magic weapon could exert some power, but anything higher would drain him to death.

Zhang Lingyu peered over and noticed that only one of the magical treasures on the table was of medium grade, while the rest were of low grade. She frowned slightly, somewhat regretting her earlier praise.

The old puppet saw through his thoughts and explained:

"The Spirit Puppet Sect did indeed earn a lot of spirit stones in the past by using puppets, but it almost lost them all in the last thousand-year beast tide. Many of their magical treasures were brought to Tianliu City by several Golden Core cultivators to resist the beast tide, and then disappeared after their deaths."

"In addition, some were destroyed when the Demon Emperor breached the mountain gate. If I hadn't desperately collected some at the time, there would have been even fewer good items left..."

"Not to mention that some people have dispersed from the Spirit Puppet Hall, and the high-grade Golden Core magic sword in your hand is already the best..."

"What Elder Kui said is true. Back then, I had a full set of top-grade magic treasures at the Golden Core stage, but they were all shattered by the Demon Emperor when I was guarding the sect. Otherwise, I would still be useful today," Yue Yi sighed from the side.

It's better not to mention it, because as soon as it comes up, his face is full of hatred.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I remember Lingyu, you're still missing a flying magic weapon, right? Among these items in front of you is a low-grade Golden Core Shadow Shuttle. You can take it and use it first."

"Thank you, Elder Kui." Zhang Lingyu didn't stand on ceremony; all he needed now was this magical artifact for escaping.

But having finally seized the opportunity, how could I only take one item?

He took all the pills used for healing and restoring mana, but of course he didn't get them for free; he exchanged them all for spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, Yue Yi interrupted him, slowly saying, "Lingyu, how about we make a deal?"

"Please speak, senior," Zhang Lingyu replied, raising an eyebrow.

"If you wish, I will make Elder Kui completely obedient to you, and you can use everything inside as you please. It doesn't matter if you use it all up."

"With these things, your chances of surviving this catastrophe are very high."

The puppet master remained silent, while Zhang Lingyu stared intently at the man, trying to figure out what he was up to.

"What are the conditions?"

"The condition is that after this great chaos, the Zhang family must fully assist us in rebuilding the Spirit Puppet Sect. In addition, you, Zhang Lingyu, must agree to protect the Spirit Puppet Sect for three hundred years."

"If I die, wouldn't all the Spirit Puppet Sect's legacy, which Elder Kui risked his life to preserve, and his efforts to revive the sect, be for naught?"

Yue Yi smiled and said, "What you said is true, but I'm going to gamble. I'm betting that you, Zhang Lingyu, can survive this calamity. If you survive, I'll win; if you don't, it's no big deal."

"If you've already perished, how can I possibly survive?"

"That's not necessarily true. Senior was once a peak Golden Core cultivator. Although your cultivation level has not yet recovered, your skills and abilities are still there. Your chances of surviving are much greater than mine."

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Are you willing or not?" Yue Yi said decisively, not wanting to continue the argument.

"Yes, of course I'm willing."

Zhang Lingyu had long been tempted, for the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box contained all the remaining treasures of the Spirit Puppet Sect.

With these things, the chances of surviving this catastrophe will greatly increase, and even reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm will not require much expense.

As long as I can survive, what does it matter if I protect the Spirit Puppet Sect for three hundred years?

There was one thing he didn't understand, so he asked curiously, "Senior, what is it about me that's worth you entrusting everything from the Spirit Puppet Sect to gamble on my survival?"

"You really want to hear it?"

"certainly."

"Believe it or not, I just have a feeling that you can survive this catastrophe, that's all."

"Senior, is it really just based on intuition?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I call it a high-stakes gamble?"

Yue Yi seemed a little annoyed by the questions, and waved his hand as if to leave: "Alright, I won't keep you from stabilizing your cultivation."

As the cave gate slammed shut, he walked away without looking back.

As Yue Yi left, Zhang Lingyu felt a strange sensation rising in her heart. This sensation was none other than the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box.

At this moment, he has completely taken control of this treasure!

Unless he perishes or voluntarily relinquishes it, no one can take it from him.

However, Zhang Lingyu had no intention of keeping this treasure; he would return it after the Spirit Puppet Sect was rebuilt.

"The Spirit Puppet Transformation Box...as expected, it can transform at will."

With Zhang Lingyu's complete control over this treasure, it could transform into anything with just a thought, and even splitting it into hundreds or thousands of small puppets was no problem.

That's not all; he also completely unveiled the mysterious veil covering the interior space of the magical artifact.

The interior of the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box is divided into nine sections, each containing a corresponding item, including spirit stones and magical artifacts in abundance.

Without a doubt, it's meant to be used for rebuilding the sect in the future.

Aside from spirit stones, Zhang Lingyu wasn't interested in those low-level magic artifacts, pills, or talismans. These might be a great fortune for the Zhang family, and Yue Yi had said he could use them as he pleased.

But doesn't that mean we've completely taken advantage of them?

Yue Yi and Kui Lao have helped him a lot, yet he still wouldn't do something like this.

The only things that could interest him now were those at the Golden Core level, and Zhang Lingyu focused his attention there.

When he saw that several magical treasures hadn't been taken out earlier, he understood the old puppet's little scheme.

But it's understandable; who would keep giving away good things to outsiders?

So he continued to delve deeper with his divine sense, and at the end where the magical treasures were stored, he saw three dark, humanoid objects that no one had bothered with, silently placed in a corner.

They were so inconspicuous, yet Zhang Lingyu kept staring at them.

Half a day later, he exhaled and the name of this thing came to mind.

A puppet at the Golden Core level.
