The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 157 Hellish Icon
"Let's choose! If there's really no room, keep the more important ones, and let the nearby monsters deal with the rest!"

After Jiang Daoyu took it, he threw out all the demonic cultivators from the spirit beast bag.

The ones we killed before were from lower-middle-level sects, and those sects wouldn't come after us. But the Feng family and the Crimson Flame Sect are different.

As an important disciple of the sect, how could he easily give up?

After a short while, the three confirmed the names of the people who had left, and decided to leave the rest to the monsters to deal with.

Otherwise, if the demonic cultivators are allowed to leave, it will not only endanger the grotto-heaven, but also the disciples of the sect.

"Senior brother! Those three junior brothers just now said that when they saw the demonic cultivators, they were destroying the bamboo forest. Could their purpose be to destroy the cave's resources and cause the Xuanming Sect to suffer heavy losses?" Chen Jinshu couldn't help but wonder.

“Very likely! The Xuanming Sect had a feud with the demonic cultivators at the original site a thousand years ago. Those survivors are very likely here for revenge.” Du Yi nodded, quite agreeing.

"Alright! Let's find a monster's lair first before discussing this! I'm just worried that these demonic cultivators might be able to sense each other!"

Immediately, the three of them began searching the surrounding area for possible hiding places of the monster.

Large monsters generally live in mountainous areas, mainly for the convenience of hiding.

Therefore, they mainly searched in these places.

Soon, they finally discovered a den of ghost spiders behind a mountain peak.

These kinds of monsters are extremely poisonous. If a cultivator is bitten and does not receive timely antidote, they will die from the poison.

The three immediately captured a ghost-faced spider and then let it bite off the necks of the demonic cultivators.

Half an hour later, the demonic cultivators who had been poisoned by the spider venom finally collapsed lifelessly.

Then they set it on fire and burned it all.

"Senior brother, let's divide these remaining storage bags. Maybe we can find some clues!" Chen Jinshu said, waving the storage bags in his hand with some anticipation.

It's said that murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, but I don't know if that's true or not.

The three then found a secluded cave to stay in temporarily and began to divide up the treasures of the demonic cultivators.

She opened all fourteen storage bags and emptied them out in front of her.

The three of them were dazzled by the small pile of spiritual objects in front of them.

"We've struck it rich!" Du Yi said with a smile.

After sorting through the pile of spiritual items, the three of them obtained 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, 2,000 spirit herbs, and over 1,000 kinds of spiritual items such as ores, which were extremely valuable.

Most importantly, they obtained twelve small statues, which looked like hellish demons with blue faces and fangs.

However, it showed no signs of life and was like a dead thing.

"Could this be the Demon Lord they worship?" Chen Jinshu asked, slightly frowning.

"Demon Lord? Is there any explanation for this?" This was the first time Du Yi had heard the term "Demon Lord." He had only ever heard about demonic sects and demonic cultivators.

The sudden appearance of the Demon Lord filled them with a sense of novelty.

"Can your master take you to various parts of the sect's territory to resolve the issues with the demonic cultivators?" Chen Jinshu asked.

"Master seems to have mentioned it. But it's a rotation, not all the True Immortals set off together. It's not our turn yet," Du Yi explained immediately after hearing this.

"About three or four months ago, I accompanied my master to a certain place to deal with the matter of demonic cultivators, and unexpectedly discovered a cave of demonic cultivators!"

"These demonic cultivators are actually trying to awaken the demon lord they worship using the blood essence of cultivators!"

Chen Jinshu couldn't say too much, so he could only pick out some simple things to say. "I heard from my master that this Demon Lord is a kind of extraterrestrial Demon Lord that existed tens of thousands of years ago in the ancient cultivation world. It specializes in devouring flesh and blood, and its demonic energy can also affect the minds of cultivators, causing them to fall into the demonic path. It possesses great power and can even cause spiritual plants to mutate!"

That's all I know!

"In that case, these twelve hellish demon statues might actually be the Demon Lord." Jiang Daoyu nodded after hearing this.

"Can they simply obtain demonic energy or other powers by worshipping this Demon Lord?" Du Yi asked doubtfully.

"I don't know either!" Chen Jinshu shook his head slightly.

The master only gave a brief overview that day. When she went to the library to look for more information, she didn't find much. It's very likely that to avoid panic, all this information was moved to the forbidden book section.

Chen Jinshu had no reason to ask his master for a token to go there.

"If there are only twelve small statues, then the other two storage bags must belong to the victims."

"Let's hand this statue over to the sect leader after we leave the cave," Chen Jinshu said, feeling that this thing was too hot to handle.

If demonic cultivators can sense their location through this small statue, holding it in their hands is no different from using a GPS tracker.

After placing all twelve small statues into the restricted wooden box, she then affixed several restrictive talismans to the outside.

When putting it into the storage bag, I used my mind to send the wooden box to the spiritual plant space.

Only then did she relax. If she had left it to her two senior brothers, her position would have been exposed if she had followed them.

The spiritual plant space is an extraordinary alternate dimension, making it ideal for hiding things.

"Let's divide the remaining spiritual items equally!"

"Row!"

……

Two hours later, the three who had divided the spiritual items once again searched for Purple Thunder Bamboo in the bamboo forest.

Finally, Du Yi managed to find the approximate location using the Bagua instrument in his hand. It was in the far east corner of the bamboo forest, surrounded by hills of varying heights, making it very well hidden.

"Senior brother, this Bagua instrument is quite something, isn't it?" Chen Jinshu asked with some curiosity.

"This was a birthday gift from my grandfather. He was a famous vein finder in the cultivation world, and he was able to accurately locate the spiritual veins using this Bagua instrument. It's a pity that he died of old age, and his vein finding skills were not passed down."

"I've only learned a little bit about finding spiritual objects so far," Du Yi said, while fiddling with the Bagua instrument and thinking back on something.

"The ability of this Purple Thunder Bamboo to grow must be closely related to the spiritual veins of this bamboo forest, as well as its climate and feng shui. Finding the perfect dragon's lair will lead to the most valuable treasures..."

Du Yi talked a lot, but Chen Jinshu understood very little.

All I know is that this Senior Brother Du has some talent in feng shui.

Finally, the three arrived at a small valley with extremely rich spiritual energy, surrounded by several hillsides. The spiritual energy in this area lingered for a long time, indicating that its quality was definitely not low, and it was almost like mist.

"This is probably it! The best place for the Purple Bamboo Grove spiritual vein! If the Purple Thunder Bamboo isn't here, then other places are unlikely to be it either," Du Yi said with some confidence.

The three had only walked a few feet when they saw three sturdy purple thunder bamboos, each five feet tall, flashing with golden lightning.

Even the blades are electrified!

"Senior brother! There really is Purple Thunder Bamboo!" Chen Jinshu said excitedly.

The three purple thunder bamboos in front of me are incredibly thick, as if they have been growing for a thousand years!

The maturity age of a medicinal herb refers to its medicinal lifespan, which is between fifty and one hundred years. Generally, a low-grade first-class medicinal herb is between fifty and one hundred years, a mid-grade herb is usually between one hundred and two hundred years, and a high-grade herb is usually between two hundred and three hundred years...
