The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 150 Demonic Cultivator Appears
The three searched the snake demon's bone cave for a long time, but found nothing but a few snake molts.

In the end, the snake molt was divided equally between Du Yi and Jiang Daoyu. Chen Jinshu did not take any, mainly because he had already taken the blood-red jade pendant.

Taking it again would be rather inconsiderate.

She didn't want the three of them to have any disagreements over such a small amount of resources; it was just a few insignificant snake molts.

The three of them then left the mountain of bones without lingering any longer.

"Where should we go next to search for treasure?" Chen Jinshu asked softly.

"This place is remote, and there are no other resource points around. It seems we will have to travel for a while."

Du Yi looked at the map in his hand. They were currently in the southern corner of the country, and the nearest resource points were a thousand or two miles away.

“The closest one is Longyan Pool! It is said that a real dragon once appeared here, but rumors are ultimately unreliable. However, there are many rare spiritual herbs here, such as Dragon Blood Wood that can enhance physical fitness and Red Eye Fruit that can improve blood and qi…” Jiang Daoyu glanced at the map in his hand and quickly made his judgment.

"I heard from my senior brother that there is a place where you can find Blood Vermilion Fruit that can enhance your cultivation with few side effects. It might be worth exploring."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu immediately recalled the Blood Vermilion Fruit that Senior Brother Wen had mentioned that day.

It was a gift from his master back then, and he only needed to take one pill to directly advance to the next level in the Qi Refining stage.

However, Qi Refining cultivators can only consume one, while Foundation Establishment cultivators can consume multiple. But consuming too many would prevent the medicinal effects from being absorbed and would instead be a waste.

"Then Junior Brother Du, please lead the way. I'm not familiar with this place."

"Then follow me!" Du Yi took out a Bagua instrument, examined it for a moment, and then immediately used the magical artifact to fly towards the northeast.

Seeing this, Chen Jinshu also sat on the gourd.

The Yinshan Sparrow is fast, but it has already consumed a lot of energy, so using a magical artifact is still more convenient.

Moreover, the Yinshan Sparrow's appearance was so gorgeous and attractive that the two senior brothers asked where they had obtained such a spirit bird after seeing its original appearance as a Yinluan.

Chen Jinshu made them swear an oath to keep it a secret and not to reveal the matter of the Yinshan Sparrow, and to tell the truth that they found it at a bargain price in the market.

……

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Led by his two senior brothers, Chen Jinshu finally arrived at Longyan Pool.

This pool is shaped like a gourd with a pale golden color, and when viewed from the air, it resembles a pair of connected golden dragon eyes.

In the very center of the pool, there are black vertical eyes.

However, there seemed to be no living creatures in the pool.

Chen Jinshu did not detect any trace of the spirit beast.

The vegetation around Longyan Pool is sparse, but it is all very green, which suggests that the soil is of good quality. However, only a few spiritual plants can survive.

"Junior Sister! This is Dragon Eye Pool. It's pretty much as described in the information. But where exactly is this Blood Vermilion Fruit you mentioned?" Du Yi asked, puzzled.

"Actually, I don't know either, but it should be within this range," Chen Jinshu said with some regret.

"Help!"

"Help!"

Soon, the three heard several cries for help, their voices filled with fear and urgency, as if they were fleeing from some kind of pursuer.

"Junior sister, quickly hide!"

Upon hearing these sounds, Jiang Daoyu's expression changed slightly. He immediately led the two to a corner and then activated a concealment and isolation array.

"The sect leader once said that disciples from other powerful sects in the cultivation world would compete with us for resources. For our own safety, we should be more vigilant," Jiang Daoyu explained while maintaining the formation.

"Yes! Senior brother is right." The two nodded in agreement. Soon, two groups of people appeared in front of the three of them, a total of eight people, all fleeing for their lives.

Their clothing was different; three of them were disciples of the Xuanming Sect, while the other five wore light red robes with phoenix patterns, suggesting they belonged to a major sect or family.

The Xuanming Sect only granted each sect a quota to enter the cave heaven; how to dispose of these quotas in the end was entirely up to the sect.

Therefore, many sects will transfer their quotas to other large families, although such cases are relatively rare.

“This belongs to the Feng family,” Du Yi said, frowning.

"The Feng family?" Chen Jinshu and the other person asked in confusion.

"Yes! The Feng family is one of the powerful vassal families of the Crimson Flame Sect. Their patriarch is also one of the Nascent Soul elders of the Crimson Flame Sect, so they have always had a spot to participate in the Cave Heaven. They are our strong competitors."

"How does the Crimson Flame Sect compare to our Xuanming Sect in strength?"

"The Crimson Flame Sect is slightly stronger, but we are not afraid if our sect faces them. It's just that they have a few more Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

'Clang clang!' Just as the three were discussing the Feng family, another group of people appeared in front of them. This group of people were all dressed in black robes and cloaks, so their appearances could not be seen at all.

His entire body exuded a chilling black aura, and the black aura around him surged as he flew, clearly indicating that he was a member of the Demonic Sect.

What puzzled them was when the Xuanming Cave Heaven, as one of the sect's resource secret realms, was invaded by this demonic sect.

With a whoosh, the demonic cultivators pursued at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of a slightly lagging Feng family cultivator in the blink of an eye.

The two peak Qi Refining cultivators from the Feng family at the front joined forces and grabbed the Xuanming Sect disciple beside them, throwing him directly towards the demonic cultivators behind them.

"What are you doing?"

The Xuanming Sect cultivator's cultivation level was already much lower, and he was subdued after only a few attempts to resist.

"Didn't we agree to cooperate?"

The Feng family cultivators ignored him, quickly captured him, and then fled.

The other two Xuanming Sect disciples wanted to help, but were stopped by the remaining two.

Just as the demonic cultivator was about to attack the less advanced cultivators of the Feng family, a corpse was suddenly thrown at him.

He reached back and grabbed at the corpse's neck, and with a little force, the corpse separated from its head.

"Senior brother! The Feng family has gone too far! They're trying to use the Xuanming Sect disciples as scapegoats!" Chen Jinshu's face flashed with indignation.

Although they were fellow disciples she had never met, they were still from the same sect, and she couldn't just stand by and watch them die at the hands of demonic cultivators.

"Let's wait and see! I'm afraid there might be demonic cultivators hiding behind this." Jiang Daoyu was also a little angry, but now was not the time to act rashly.

He wanted to see just how many of these demonic cultivators were planning to make their move.

The remaining two Xuanming Sect cultivators were also quite strong. Unlike the unlucky guy who was attacked by all four of them at once, they could still buy themselves a chance to escape.

Clang! Clang! A small battle broke out immediately ahead, but the Feng family cultivators had already fled.

However, before they could escape a short distance, they were blocked by three demonic cultivators who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Temporarily breaking faith, truly a promising candidate for demonic cultivation! Would you be willing to join our demonic sect?"

Several Feng family cultivators' expressions changed slightly. Although they were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, there were still differences in their strength, especially since these sect disciples had not experienced many battles.

"Junior sister! The time has come! You can make your move now!" Jiang Daoyu said to the two in a deep voice.

The green zither in front of Chen Jinshu was already prepared, and he immediately began to play music.

'Ding ding ding...' The cold, sharp sound of the Green Jade Zither pierced through the surrounding nine zhang.
