If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 286 Ginseng Berries
"This, this is Purple Gold Jade Coral! Wasn't this thing extinct long ago in the Great Wilderness? Why are there so many of them!?"

“Mirage Pearl! It’s actually a Mirage Pearl that can only be condensed by Mirage Monsters in the Fusion Stage!”

The cultivators who entered the ancient cave for the first time, whether they were from Meizhou or from first-rate sects, were stunned by the scene before them.

It is luxurious to the point of returning to nature, without any sign of showing off.

And this is just the entrance to the ancient cave!

The Meizhou monks who didn't know the value of the resources had already begun to snatch the resources in front of them, while the monks from the first-rate sects quickened their pace and moved deeper into the cave.

Dayu's expeditionary force would never leave the ancient caves alone. The two saints took action only to prevent the ancient caves from being directly taken away. It wouldn't be long before Dayu's expeditionary force would directly attack these three ancient caves. At that time, a large-scale sweep would take place, and not even a hair would be left on the ground.

So time is running out. If they really want to gain some benefits, they have to go straight to the deepest part of this ancient cave.

Only a fool would waste time for some petty gains in front of him.

Li Lin also entered an ancient cave.

The monks from the sects were all attracted by the ancient cave, and the plans arranged by the Taoist sect were forgotten. No one wasted time to play the role of an ancient monk, so Li Lin had a particularly comfortable journey.

He did not go straight to the depths of the ancient cave like those monks from other sects, but collected the cultivation resources with respect.

No matter how good the skills or how powerful the magic weapon, they are not as good as down-to-earth cultivation. For Li Lin, these cultivation resources are the most valuable things in this [Ancient] cave.

Jifa also arrived at the ancient cave that Li Lin had entered. As he flew over the cultivators' heads, Jifa noticed Li Lin gathering cultivation resources. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but Jifa didn't stop and continued to sprint deeper.

The Holy Son Xuantian, who followed Ji Fa, did not stop and did not notice Li Lin's existence.

As the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, he had already reached the realm of half-step tribulation. He disdained the schemes of some Daoist sects to sow discord between nobles and commoners. In this vast world, the powerful were respected, and no matter how many tricks the scoundrels employed, they would be futile. To the Holy Son, such schemes to sow discord between nobles and commoners were mere idle tactical tactics.

Therefore, the Holy Son Xuantian had only heard of Li Lin's name.

Rather than the plan of provoking the common people, the Holy Son of Xuantian is now more concerned about the sudden appearance of the ancient cave and the reason why Jifa couldn't wait to enter it.

As the eighth prince, Ji Fa lacks nothing. No matter how wealthy this ancient cave is, can it be as wealthy as Dayu?

But recently there have been some other rumors, saying that Ji Fa is the famous tomb robber Female Chen Fa, a descendant of the ancient tomb robbers, who is good at stealing luck and improving her cultivation by robbing tombs.

The same scene also happened in another ancient cave. Ji Ling'er rushed into the depths of the cave without saying a word. Even if the Holy Son of Hunyuan who was chasing behind her provoked her, Ji Ling'er ignored him.

The once bustling Jiuyin Land has become deserted again due to the departure of the monks, and the shadow of Taotie is still roaring.

It looked menacing, but because there was no one around, it looked particularly pitiful.

Li Yanmo and the other two arrived at the scene leisurely, and simply ignored the roaring Taotie phantom.

Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang naturally looked down upon this drop of beast's blood. Huang Shangshang was initially tempted, but when she thought about the fact that she had already formed a supreme golden elixir, she also ignored the beast's blood.

"Is this the legendary Nine Yin Land?" Leng Ningshuang looked around and scratched the back of his head in confusion. "There doesn't seem to be anything strange here. Did we come to the wrong place?"

As the favored daughter of the Huantian Sect, Huang Shangshang had naturally been to the Jiuyin Land. Seeing Leng Ningshuang look down on the Jiuyin Land so much, Huang Shangshang felt that she needed to say a few fair words for the iconic area of her hometown.

"This Jiuyin Land is just a large black market. There's really nothing special about it."

Leng Ningshuang nodded thoughtfully.

"If there really was something special, Zhou Yi and the others wouldn't have dug a hole in the Nine Yin Land and faked the appearance of the beast's blood." Li Yanmo frowned, "I don't think so."

"What did you see?"

"That's not true."

Leng Ningshuang rolled her eyes, but did not suggest leaving.

Come anyway.

Huang Shangshang hesitated for a moment and then suggested, "How about we go explore the cave they built?"

Huang Shangshang felt that she could not guess what Li Yanmo was thinking, but Leng Ningshuang's idea was very simple, she just came to have fun.

"Alright...it's a good opportunity to see their engineering capabilities."

Li Yanmo thought about it and felt that there would be no gain from wandering around here, so it would be a good choice to visit the cave built by Zhou Yi and others.

"Three of you! Three of you, wait for me!"

At this time, a call came from a distance, and a young man with ordinary appearance and only foundation-building cultivation came staggering over.

He introduced himself right away, "I'm Chen Youli from the Blood Sugar Sect. I wonder if I could join you three and share in your blessings."

Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Blood Sugar Sect?"

"Yes Yes."

"Fine."

The four of them slowly went down the cave and soon arrived at the first floor.

What caught the eye were large piles of monks' skeletons. Those monks' skeletons were all wearing clothes, some had storage bags hanging around their waists, and some skeletons had some kind of plants growing inside them, with brightly colored berries on them.

"Ginseng berries are really disgusting," Leng Ningshuang frowned.

"Ginseng berries? What are those?" Huang Shangshang's face was full of curiosity. She couldn't see anything wrong with those berries. She just thought they looked very juicy. After looking at them for a long time, she had the urge to pick two and taste them.

"A counterfeit of a spiritual fruit," Leng Ningshuang explained calmly. "The spiritual field and spiritual fruit are both rare treasures nurtured by heaven and earth. While they can be sustained by vast resources, they ultimately depend on luck. Once that luck is exhausted, no amount of resources can sustain the spiritual field."

"So some sects came up with a method, which is to use the bodies of cultivators as seedbeds to plant spiritual plants."

"The spiritual plant will take root in the cultivator's body, extracting nutrients, and all their cultivation will turn into fruit."

Huang Shangshang, who originally wanted to try it, felt nauseous and quickly turned her head away from the ginseng berries.

"These ginseng berries are a great tonic for the cultivators of Meizhou. Even if they knew the origin of these ginseng berries, they would probably eat them without hesitation," Leng Ningshuang sighed helplessly. "In the past, a demonic sect, in order to obtain a constant supply of high-quality berries, secretly captured many cultivators. Not only did they turn them into seedbeds, they also forcibly prolonged their lives by injecting them with large amounts of natural treasures that could improve their cultivation but had extremely serious side effects."

"This sect was eventually dissatisfied with its cultivators and began secretly capturing ordinary people. This was discovered by Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu was enraged and personally destroyed the sect."

Li Yanmo pinched the bridge of his nose, and an oil dragon pattern emerged from his sleeve. He opened his mouth and blew, and a surging sea of oil swallowed up all the skeleton berries. Accompanied by bursts of Buddha's light, the filthy oil water became transparent, like a clear spring.

Li Yanmo raised his hand and put all the bones into the storage bag.
