Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 251 Joining Forces to Break the Restriction

"The cultivator who killed this person should still be here. Everyone be careful."

Inside the main hall of Dingyuan Hall, Fan Ya looked at the dead blue-robed cultivator, and considering the collapsed buildings around him, his eyes filled with vigilance, and continued:

"We didn't hear any fighting when we arrived, and only a quarter of an hour has passed since we entered the ruins. The battle between the two sides ended very quickly."

"Senior brother is right. Considering the streak of light we saw on our way here, this person's companion must have been forced to flee."

A man in black standing next to him said:

"The atmosphere inside the main hall is chaotic, but there are traces of the death of some ghosts. The one who killed this person must be a demonic cultivator, and there is probably more than one."

"Yes, Junior Brother Lin is right."

Fan Ya nodded and said, "Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Wang, it's best to be careful."

"What do you two fellow Daoists from Liyun Valley think?" He turned to look at the two cultivators who were still searching for valuable items and asked.

Jiangyun Sect is also a Golden Core sect in Zhao State. Fan Ya and the other two came from there. Naturally, they were indispensable when the Spirit Puppet Sect was born. Five Foundation Establishment cultivators came from the sect this time. The three of them were lucky and landed not far from each other.

The place they landed at first was just a storeroom in Dingyuan Hall where low-level spiritual items were stored, so they didn't find much there. The two people from Liyun Valley were also left there.

Li Yun Valley is also a sect of the Zhao Kingdom, and their strengths are roughly equal. Adhering to the principle that both sides are immortal forces, there was no conflict between them. Instead, they traveled together, but they were wary of each other along the way.

This place is ultimately a place of opportunity. The tacit understanding between the two sides is very fragile. As long as something good is presented to them, they will probably tear each other apart immediately.

"There are traces of demonic cultivators here, Fellow Daoist Fan. I think we should join forces to find and eliminate them, and then divide the treasures here equally. What do you say?"

The two people from Liyun Valley, one surnamed Jiang and the other surnamed Li, were both late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"You two fellow Daoists are very understanding and righteous, so I, Fan, have no objection. Please proceed." Fan Ya had no objection; the valuable items in the main hall had already been taken away, and they didn't care about the remaining tables and chairs.

So the five of them headed deeper into the main hall, and their first stop was the alchemy room that Zhang Lingyu had initially visited.

Since all the restrictions along the way were broken, there was no obstacle at all, which also proved the strength of the demonic cultivator, otherwise he could not have done so in such a short time.

"It seems the demonic cultivators who have come here are quite powerful. Everyone should be prepared."

Even though the road ahead was clear, the five of them dared not be complacent. They had to be careful with every step they took to prevent the demonic cultivators from attacking from the shadows.

When they saw that all thirty-six alchemy chambers had been destroyed, the five men's faces turned even uglier.

After inspecting several pill-making rooms, the cultivator surnamed Jiang couldn't help but curse a few times. Apart from some first- and second-tier pill formulas scattered on the ground, everything else had been taken away.

After searching all thirty-six alchemy chambers, the result was the same.

They finally found a pill furnace, but it had long lost its spiritual power and was completely useless. It was as if they had nothing left for them, not even scraps.

Seeing Lu Yang's remains was even more heartbreaking. They had finally found a cultivator's corpse in hopes of finding some clues about this place, but unfortunately, apart from the clothes, there was nothing else left.

"All demonic cultivators are the same; they never spit out the bones when they eat, leaving behind only useless things."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you'd better be careful. The fact that you were able to empty all the pill rooms in such a short time means that there is more than one demonic cultivator."

Fan Ya offered a casual reminder, then unfolded the map he had obtained from the palace and pointed to a spot, saying:

"This is the storeroom where the elixirs are stored. Let's go take a look there."

Unlike the complete map in Zhang Lingyu's hand, the map in his hand was found next to the skeleton of a Qi Refining cultivator. It only marked the rough locations of various places, and had no idea where the restrictions were.

The reason for going to the storeroom is that only these two places in Dingyuan Hall are worth mentioning.

"The pill room has been completely looted. Those demonic cultivators might have gone to the storeroom too. Everyone be careful."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, we understand."

The other four nodded, and while remaining vigilant of their surroundings, they quickly fled towards the warehouse.

Before long, we arrived at our destination.

However, the scene before them left them speechless. The warehouse was deserted, and the gate's security measures showed no signs of damage.

"Where are those demonic cultivators? Did they leave?"

The five looked around, but they couldn't see a single person, or even a piece of gravel.

"Possibly. You see, this restriction is quite powerful, and breaking it will be rather tricky. Plus, with those two puppets, breaking through quickly won't be an easy task."

Fan Ya pointed to the puppets and continued, "As we get closer, these two puppets have shown signs of activation. If the demonic cultivators get close, they will trigger the defense mechanism, and then there will be more evidence of a fight here."

"Does Senior Brother Fan mean that the demonic cultivators feel they can't quickly break through this place and have gone elsewhere?"

"It's very possible, but we can't rule out the possibility that they've noticed our arrival and are hiding in the shadows, waiting to ambush us when we break the barrier, hoping to catch us off guard."

Fan Ya was very vigilant. He had not seen any escape light disappear before entering the main hall.

"In that case, let's search the area first!" After saying that, the cultivator surnamed Jiang quickly used his divine sense to search the surroundings, but unfortunately found nothing.

The others also released their divine senses, and the outcome was the same.

"Maybe he really is gone!"

After the investigation yielded no results, the cultivator surnamed Jiang stepped forward and said to Fan Ya:

"Fellow Daoists, now that the demonic cultivator has left, let us quickly break the restriction, take the pills, and depart."

"To avoid any unforeseen complications!"

"this..."

The three members of Jiangyun Sect looked troubled. All the signs indicated that the demonic cultivator had left, but they were still uneasy.

Seeing that the three had not yet made a decision, the cultivator surnamed Jiang sneered, "Fellow Daoists, we are all direct descendants of our sects, and three of the five of us are at the late Foundation Establishment stage. So what if the demonic cultivators turn back?"

"I'm sure that person wasn't even at the mid-stage of cultivation. Judging from his clothes, he was just a rogue cultivator. How could he compare to us?"

Holding a long sword, he continued, "If we delay any longer and others arrive, we'll be forced to slink back to our sect, not only without any soup to drink."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

Despite Fan Ya's attempts to dissuade him, the Jiang-surnamed cultivator turned his head without looking back and attacked the restriction together with the Li-surnamed cultivator. Under the full force of the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, the restriction's spiritual light dissipated and cracks appeared.

"good!"

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly continued his attack. However, this action angered the puppets guarding the warehouse. The patterns on the two puppets lit up instantly, and they charged fiercely at the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were already locked in combat, and the commotion was so great that the entire Dingyuan Hall began to shake.

"Senior Brother Fan, what should we do?"

"What should I do..."

Fan Ya felt a slight headache and said with a wry smile, "Let's go together and help these two fellow Daoists."

Whether they want to get involved or not, the outcome is already decided. The commotion of the fight between the two cultivators from Liyun Valley will definitely be noticed by the outside world, and people will arrive soon.

If I don't help, as the cultivator surnamed Jiang said, it's fine if I don't get any soup, but I'm afraid I'll slink back to my sect and become a laughing stock.

After saying this, the three of them either summoned magical artifacts or made hand seals, and attacked the two puppets.

With the help of the three of them, the battle was quickly resolved.

What does it matter if the puppetry skills of the Spirit Puppet Sect are superb, or if their puppets are comparable to those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator? At this moment, they are still just a pile of broken copper and scrap iron.

Looking at the scattered parts, adhering to the principle of taking everything they could, the five divided up all the valuables cleanly. The cultivator surnamed Jiang laughed:

"The actions of the three fellow Daoists are indeed wise. Rest assured, whatever miraculous medicines are inside, our two families will divide them equally."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're too kind. Let's go inside first, lest something unexpected happens!"

"Fellow Daoist is right, let's see what I can do."

The fight had already significantly affected the restrictions on the door, and with a casual sword strike from the Jiang surname cultivator, they were instantly destroyed.

"Crunch."

As the warehouse door was pushed open, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating the five people.

Although the warehouse was not large, it was packed full of wooden shelves. Since the outer restrictions had been well preserved, there were no signs of damage inside.

The wooden shelves were filled with jade bottles, each labeled to make it easy for the disciples of Dingyuan Hall to identify.

"Great...great!"

The cultivator surnamed Jiang, his face glowing, rushed forward and began to examine the jade bottle.

"This is the Azure Bird Pill, and also the Purple Scale Powder, the Piercing Yuan Pill, and the Wind Clearing Pill. Squeak, these are all pills for improving cultivation. Not bad, not bad."

The pills in Dingyuan Hall are all supplied to the inner disciples of Lingkui Sect for cultivation. Most of them are third- or fourth-grade pills, which are just right for them.

However, due to the long period of time, even though the restrictions remained intact, the medicinal properties of the elixir inevitably diminished considerably.

But all in all, it's much better than the alchemy room.

The deeper they went into the warehouse, the better the quality of the elixirs became, and the better their medicinal properties remained. Since they were more valuable, the jade bottles used to hold them were also of a higher grade.

Fan Ya and the other two were also very excited by this scene, picking up all kinds of pills and looking at them, seemingly having already put the matter of demonic cultivation out of their minds.

"Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any Golden Core cultivator here."

"Fellow Daoist Fan, what are you thinking? How can such a precious item as a Golden Core be stored here? Both the Golden Core spirit item and the Golden Core itself are in the Spirit Puppet Hall."

The cultivator surnamed Jiang sneered:

"Almost all the cultivators who entered the ruins this time came for this item, the magic treasures left behind by the Spirit Puppet Master, and the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box. Fellow Daoist, it won't be that easy to obtain the Golden Core."

inherited?

inherited?

How many people would care?

To put it bluntly, I don't even have time to improve my own cultivation, so why would I bother to practice such an energy-consuming art as puppetry?

Improving one's cultivation level and forming the core as soon as possible is the most important thing.

To put it bluntly, even major sects like the Six Sects don't lack this kind of inheritance; it's only independent cultivators who crave it and use it to rise above others.

It must be said that the Jiang-surnamed cultivator was self-aware enough to know that he could not compete with those famous sect cultivators. He might as well try to gain more benefits in this inner sect area to lay the foundation for his future Core Formation.

As for the Golden Core and such, let those disciples from prestigious sects fight over them.

In the pursuit of immortality, one's life is still the most important thing.

As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of pills, examined them closely, paused for a moment, then a sudden smile bloomed on his face as he exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a Yuanming Breakthrough Pill!?"
