Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 153 Sealing the Teleportation Array
"Pfft!"

He had only taken two steps after turning around when a sharp sword pierced through his heart!

"You...you...you're untrustworthy...you shameless scoundrel..."

The leader of the calamity cultivators trembled, clutched his chest, turned around, and said fiercely.

"Die! They, the people of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' said they'd let you go!"

"But I, the victim, am not so merciful. Do you think I'll let you off the hook?"

Liu Ruyan's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she sneered repeatedly. She drew her longsword and with another slash, severed the head of the leader of the calamity cultivators.

"boom!"

The leader of the Jiexiu clan fell heavily to the ground, his head, which had fallen to the side, still showing a look of resentment.

He had considered this outcome, but when faced with life and death, anyone would harbor a glimmer of hope if there was even the slightest chance.

When people are in a very unfavorable situation, they will subconsciously think about the positive aspects.

For example, if someone takes a gamble and makes some money to start a business, they won't think about what will happen if they lose money, but rather how much they will make and how glorious their future will be.

This is human nature.

The leader of the treacherous cultivators was no exception.

"Good kill!"

At this moment, Tang Ying realized that Senior Brother Li had never intended to let this person go from beginning to end, which made her feel much better!
If such a villain were alive, who knows how many people he would have harmed. It's good that he died, a wonderful death, a truly splendid one.

"Brother Li, how should we distribute these storage bags and magical artifacts?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped forward, holding several storage bags, and asked about the clothes and weapons of the robbers.

"You split it equally."

Li Yunjing was very magnanimous. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Now that he has obtained the leader of the Tribulation Cultivators' "Treasure Bag" and the leader's secret stronghold, his gains are definitely much greater than those of the others.

Li Yunjing naturally had no need to compete with the others for such a paltry benefit.

"Thank you very much, Brother Li!"

Li Yunjing didn't care, but the other four, including Tang Ying, did!
They killed a total of sixteen Tribulation Cultivators here, and the wealth they possessed was considerable. The five of them split it equally, making a fortune.

This wealth is enough for them to not have to risk going into the mountains to hunt for three or four years.

How could this not excite the middle-aged men?
"Heh... Burn all these corpses, clean up the mess, and we'll continue on our way!"

Li Yunjing looked at the excited group and smiled gently.

No wonder they say murder and arson bring wealth; killing these cultivators enriched those around him.

"Yes!"

Since joining the team, Li Yunjing has unknowingly become the backbone of the temporary team thanks to his skills and status.

At this moment, Li Yunjing gave the order, and naturally no one dared to disobey.

"Go!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, signaling them to allocate resources and burn the corpses, and not to bother him.

"By the way, Ruyan, how did you get here? And who are these two younger sisters?"

Li Yunjing turned to look at Liu Ruyan and the twins, and asked them gently.

"Alas! Business is not good for 'Yanyu Tower' in 'Chiri Market'. I brought Xing'er and Yue'er to 'Youlan Market' to see if we could open another 'Yanyu Tower'. I never expected to encounter such a thing."

Liu Ruyan sighed softly before briefly recounting her experiences.

"I see! It seems your business is growing bigger and bigger, Ruyan."

Li Yunjing chuckled. Facing the three beauties, he became unusually serious, gentle and polite, exuding a refined and scholarly air.

"Hehe! Brother Li, you're doing quite well these days, have you made it big? Your little sister will need your help in the future!"

Liu Ruyan chuckled and changed the subject, speaking to Li Yunjing.

But a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

It seems impossible to understand how Li Yunjing became so capable in less than a year.
Two promotions in less than a year?

What speed is this?

Can disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" also improve their status and strength in this way?

Liu Ruyan also came from a powerful force, and she knew all too well how difficult it was to advance in a major sect.

"Not bad! I've been lucky, I've climbed up little by little!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, "We're all acquaintances now. If you have any difficulties, just come to me."

When Liu Ruyan called him "brother," Li Yunjing's bones melted. He readily agreed, but secretly thought, "I was just saying it casually. If something really happens, there's no benefit in coming to me, so I won't do anything!"

"Hehe! Thank you so much, my dear brother!"

Liu Ruyan leaned against Li Yunjing with seductive eyes. She was extremely confident in her appearance. Since Li Yunjing had become useful, she would give him a little something sweet.

From now on, this person will be her devoted subject.

As for whether Li Yunjing can escape her control.

Liu Ruyan didn't consider it. In her heart, she didn't believe that any man could remain unmoved by her. She believed that as long as he put in just a little effort, Li Yunjing would be completely infatuated.

"Xing'er, Yue'er, aren't you two going to thank Brother Li?"

At the same time, Liu Ruyan gave a wink, and Xing'er and Yue'er understood. They approached Li Yunjing from the left and right, thanking their benefactor by calling him "good brother" repeatedly. This made Li Yunjing somewhat unable to resist.

The three women each possessed a distinct fragrance, leaving Li Yunjing somewhat bewildered.

His arms were being held by Xing'er and Yue'er, who kept rubbing against him, causing Li Yunjing's body temperature to rise rapidly. This feeling was not pleasant at all.

Liu Ruyan smiled alluringly, her eyes like autumn water, but only deep within those eyes did a trace of cold indifference emanate from her very bones…

"Humph!"

Just as Li Yunjing was enjoying himself with two women on his left and right, Tang Ying finished dividing the spoils. As soon as she walked over, she saw the three women shamelessly approaching her senior brother, and she couldn't help but snort coldly.

Hearing this voice, the three women dispersed, allowing Li Yunjing to breathe a sigh of relief.

"This is fucking insane! Even a good man can't resist a bunch of women!"

Li Yunjing coughed, his expression turning serious, and said in a deep voice, "The mountains are too dangerous. Let's hurry back to the market! Let's go!"

"Yes! Senior brother!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had returned to normal, Tang Ying's expression softened. She glared fiercely at Liu Ruyan and the other two before leading the middle-aged man and Li Yunjing back the way they came.

At this moment, Tang Ying felt a surge of resentment. If she had known they were three shameless women, she wouldn't have gone to rescue them.

As for the middle-aged men, they secretly swallowed hard, envying Li Yunjing's good fortune.

Unfortunately, women like Liu Ruyan were beyond their reach, which left the few rogue cultivators somewhat disappointed.

After traveling for more than an hour, Li Yunjing and his group finally returned to "Youlan Market".

At this moment, a large number of people had gathered in the "Youlan Market," each with a solemn expression. Clearly, news from deep within the mountains had spread throughout the market.

There are any explanations.

What heavenly treasures have fallen from the sky? What divine objects have been unearthed? And what about the peerless demons who are about to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality...?

Hearing these comments, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shake his head slightly; they were simply absurd.

He was involved and knew everything clearly, so there was no need for him to listen to other people's nonsense in the market square.

"Alright! Everyone, disperse! Go about your business!"

Once here, Li Yunjing also planned to plunder the wealth of the leader of the bandit cultivators, as it would be inconvenient to bring others along.

The others also knew about Li Yunjing's actions, so they all nodded and dispersed.

Before leaving, Tang Ying said to Li Yunjing, "Senior Brother Li, how about we exchange contact information?"

"Okay!"

Li Yunjing nodded, took out his "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman," and exchanged communication methods with Tang Ying.

The appearance of the "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" made Liu Ruyan, Xing'er, and Yue'er widen their eyes. This Brother Li is too corrupt!

This is a "message talisman that can travel thousands of miles"!

Using such a talisman must be incredibly extravagant!
Even Liu Ruyan and the others couldn't afford such talismans.

"Brother Li, shall we exchange contact information?" Liu Ruyan asked with a grin.

Before Li Yunjing could say anything, she took out her "Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman" from her sachet and handed it to Li Yunjing.

Smelling Liu Ruyan's fragrance from the talisman, Li Yunjing nodded gently, connected his talisman with hers, and exchanged communication frequencies.

Li Yunjing returned the talisman to Liu Ruyan, looked at Xing'er and Yue'er, and smiled, "Xing'er, Yue'er, shall we change our way of contacting each other?"

"This one……"

The two women looked at Liu Ruyan with questioning expressions.

Clearly, among the three women, Liu Ruyan was the leader.

"Hehe! Brother Li, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to Xing'er and Yue'er, would you? How about I give them to you?"

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Hehe! Okay!"

Li Yunjing joked.

He really couldn't believe that Liu Ruyan would be willing to give him two delicate beauties with the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm cultivation.

Especially since they are twin sisters.

If you really give it to me, do you think I'd dare accept it?
"Hehe! You wish! Should I add it to your list?"

As expected, Liu Ruyan didn't respond, but continued to tease Li Yunjing.

"Anything is fine! I'll take anything!"

Li Yunjing chuckled. Liu Ruyan's cultivation technique is definitely not one that can break one's virginity. You're someone who only talks but doesn't fight, do you think I'm afraid of you?

"Hehe... Never mind, Xing'er, Yue'er, why don't you exchange contact information with Brother Li!"

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Li Yunjing's intensely aggressive gaze, Liu Ruyan gave in and could only agree to let the twin sisters exchange contact information with Li Yunjing.

"Alright! I'll take my leave now! We'll keep in touch if anything comes up! By the way, you'd better leave 'Youlan Market'. Things in the mountains are complicated, and I don't know if they'll affect 'Youlan Market'."

After exchanging contact information with Xing'er and Yue'er, Li Yunjing gave the three women a reminder before leaving.

What exactly happened in those mountains?

Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"I don't know about that! However, I saw a golden-winged roc, thousands of feet in size, emerge from the sky. Think about what that means for yourselves. If you run into trouble, don't say I didn't save you!"

After saying this, Li Yunjing took his leave.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, nothing can compare to the quality of resources for spiritual cultivation.
Compared to the three beauties, the wealth hidden by the leader of the robbery cultivators was clearly more appealing to Li Yunjing.

Nothing is more important than finding treasure.

"That heartless guy..."

Seeing Li Yunjing leave like that, Liu Ruyan's face was devoid of any smile, icy cold, and she gritted her teeth, muttering to herself.

Xing'er and Yue'er remained silent, seemingly somewhat frightened by Liu Ruyan's appearance...

After saying goodbye to his acquaintances, Li Yunjing found a secluded corner, quickly changed his clothes, and pretended to be a rogue cultivator.

In crowded places, it's safer to dress as a monk.

Li Yunjing wandered through the streets and alleys and soon arrived at the ordinary residential area of ​​"Youlan Market".

When Li Yunjing arrived at a three-courtyard house as instructed by the leader of the Jiexiu, he indeed sensed the fluctuations of an array within the courtyard.

Li Yunjing used the key belonging to the leader of the traitors to open the gate, and the formation indeed did not harm him.

"who are you?"

"Where is our leader?"

The four cultivators guarding the gate had barely shouted when Li Yunjing struck them down with his "Breaking Qi Spear"!
Li Yunjing closed the door, searched the four people for a moment, grabbed a few storage bags, and put them away.

"I didn't expect there were still some people left here."

Li Yunjing scanned the room with his divine sense and saw that there were more than a dozen people inside.

Most of them were maids and servants of ordinary people, and there were also three Qi Refining Realm cultivators. One of them was a woman who was quite beautiful and seemed to be the lover of the leader of the Tribulation Cultivators.

Li Yunjing showed no mercy to these people!
In the marketplace, killing someone might be acceptable if no one saw it, but if someone recognized the perpetrator, it would cause considerable trouble. For his own safety, Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't leave any survivors to cause himself any trouble.

After dealing with these people, Li Yunjing quickly found a large box in the tunnel inside the bedroom.

This box is made of black iron and is engraved with runes and suppressed with talismans. If an outsider wants to open the box, they must be proficient in runes.

This difficulty did not stump Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing didn't even need to force it open. After studying it for a few minutes, he easily deciphered the runes and unlocked the talismans based on the records in the "Array Diagram Record".

After all, the level of independent cultivators is generally low, so they don't have any powerful formations or restrictions. This little thing is no challenge for Li Yunjing at all.

"Crack!"

Upon opening the box, Li Yunjing was greeted by a view filled entirely with spirit stones!

They were all mid-grade spirit stones!

It's a full thousand dollars!

"Good heavens! This leader of the plunderers has exchanged all the looted items for mid-grade spirit stones! Is he so confident in his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Realm that he'll stop using low-grade spirit stones from now on?"

Even though Li Yunjing had seen the world, he was still stunned by this large box of mid-grade spirit stones.

Inside the box were pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, radiating rich spiritual energy and a bluish light, which gave Li Yunjing a strong sense of stimulation.

In the cultivation world, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, most important transactions involve mid-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones are rarely used anymore.

The spiritual energy concentration of a mid-grade spirit stone is a hundred times that of a low-grade spirit stone. Whether it is activating formations, cultivating supernatural abilities, or refining magical power, it is far more efficient than a low-grade spirit stone.

Generally, the exchange ratio between mid-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones is 1 to 100.

In reality, the ratio can reach 1:110 or 120. Generally, Qi Refining cultivators with strength start accumulating mid-grade spirit stones before advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This is so that future transactions will be more convenient.

Li Yunjing had done the same thing a long time ago.

He was unwilling to trade or use the hundred mid-grade spirit stones he had in his hand.

Those were all preparations made by Li Yunjing for the future.

Now, with an additional 1000 mid-grade spirit stones, Li Yunjing was overjoyed; this was truly a windfall!
"It seems that sometimes we need to keep an eye on the bandits around the various markets! Especially their leaders, they're all rolling in money!"

Li Yunjing put away all the resources.

Li Yunjing then searched all the rooms, cellars, secret rooms, and other places thoroughly.

Finally, after scraping out more than a dozen storage bags and confirming that nothing was missing, he erased his traces and scent and left the yard.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Yunjing headed directly towards the teleportation array.

At this point, Li Yunjing was preparing to flee. The "Youlan Mountains" were not safe, and only by returning to the territory of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could he be completely safe.

Although this trip involved many risks, the gains were enormous, and Li Yunjing was content.

"The teleportation array is sealed! No one is allowed to use it!"

However, when Li Yunjing arrived near the teleportation array, he saw ten inner disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" blocking everyone who wanted to use the teleportation array, under the command of two true disciples.

With the great battle raging in the "Youlan Mountains," the important teleportation array, which was crucial for transporting personnel and supplies, was immediately blocked by reinforcements from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," preventing anyone from passing through.

At this moment, Li Yunjing even saw Liu Ruyan, Xing'er, and Yue'er on the outskirts of the crowd.

The three women seemed to want to leave through the teleportation array, but they were stopped outside and not allowed to use it.

There were quite a few people who shared the same idea as the three women. Ten feet away from the teleportation array, there were still dozens of people waiting to use it.

These people were intercepted by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" members on the perimeter, and for a time, the place was in chaos.

These cultivators naturally dared not force their way in, much less challenge the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," but quite a few still tried to plead their case.

The inner disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had no way to deal with these chaotic people.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect. It is impossible for them to go on a killing spree just because someone came to plead for mercy.

At the very least, these rogue cultivators need to put on a hostile act in order to find a reasonable excuse to slaughter them, right?
In this situation, the inner disciples had no choice but to endure the buzzing noise in their ears.

These inner disciples remained silent, their faces expressionless. As long as these people didn't cross their boundary, that was enough.

The two true disciples sat cross-legged beside the teleportation array, guarding it to ensure it wouldn't be damaged.
