Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 306 The Wonderful Uses of Puppetry (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After receiving the spirit herb from the "puppet mechanical beast," Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down and carefully examined the spirit herb, which had existed for at least tens of thousands of years!

This herb is called "Heavenly Star Grass," and it is the main or auxiliary ingredient in many kinds of third-tier elixirs.

As for the "Heavenly Star Grass" that has grown for tens of thousands of years, Li Yunjing has never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

Li Yunjing had no idea how to use this thing, but he could guarantee that this "Heavenly Star Grass" was definitely a top-tier third-level herb!
If you take it outside, even if you can't use it yourself, you can still sell it for an astronomical price!
In the current cultivation world of the Great Ming Dynasty, and even in the cultivation world of the Southern Heaven Continent, the cultivation civilization is extremely advanced. Good things that have been wild for tens of thousands of years can not be found anywhere else except in those terrifying forbidden areas.

After succeeding, Li Yunjing waved his hand and released hundreds of puppet mechanical beasts from his storage ring. These little toys were all first-tier.

Normally, Li Yunjing has no need to use it at all.

However, these little toys are now putting to use. Driven by Li Yunjing, they are going in all directions, just like farmers harvesting crops in autumn. They are picking these spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and even some tree seeds and fruits.

Li Yunjing even found several very useful trees among them, such as the "Golden Jade Divine Tree," the "Golden Jade Divine Tree," and the "Ten Thousand Year Golden Bamboo Tree"...

Every single tree was uprooted by Li Yunjing and stuffed into his storage magic treasure.

Over the years, Li Yunjing has killed many experts and seized quite a few storage treasures.

Li Yunjing had several storage rings and storage bracelets on him, and there were even more of those treasure pouches.

There are at least a hundred "treasure troves"!
Originally, Li Yunjing wanted to sell them through "Star Moon Trading Company", but the quantity was too large.

They could sell out in decades, even centuries!
Li Yunjing naturally couldn't possibly store all these storage-type magical treasures at the "Star Moon Merchant Guild," as he had a negative view of the guild's defensive capabilities.

If I have something good, I really don't dare leave it there.

Therefore, all these storage-type magical treasures were placed on Li Yunjing's person.

At this moment, Li Yunjing secretly rejoiced that he had so many storage magic treasures on him; otherwise, once he entered the treasure mountain, he would have had no ability to take these flowers, plants, and trees with him!
Li Yunjing was excited and began his harvesting spree.

Meanwhile, the experts from the outside world, led by seven or eight Golden Core Realm experts, entered the maze.

These people, relying on the presence of a master, were extremely arrogant. After entering, they realized it seemed to be a maze, so they began to unleash their supernatural powers and bombard the area relentlessly.

As a result, many restrictions were triggered, and countless attacks, including wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, bombarded everywhere. In an instant, a third of the hundreds of people who had entered were killed.

Of all the sects and factions, only about two hundred people remain!

This stunned the Golden Core cultivators from various sects. They quickly realized what was happening and shouted loudly to stop their men from continuing the bombardment.

The level of restrictions here is extremely high!

Even a Golden Core cultivator would be affected and injured if they encountered this, making it impossible for them to break through the maze.

The group of Golden Core cultivators exchanged glances, each revealing a hint of admiration. Everyone understood that this was a treasure trove belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator!

As for Master Canglan and the woman in red, they sensed that more people had entered from the outside world, and there were quite a few of them. The two of them no longer dared to pursue Zhu Danzi.

After a brief discussion, the Canglan Master and the woman in red gritted their teeth and decided not to leave. Instead, they continued to explore the maze, preparing to enter the great man's domain.

Only if they are determined to fight to the death can they possibly survive!

Obtain the treasure, restore your cultivation, slay enemies, and reach the pinnacle!
This is the plan of Master Canglan and the woman in red!

The two groups explored for another fifteen minutes. Zhu Danzi wandered around the maze for a while before finally reuniting with the main group.

Zhu Danzi entered the maze first. The Golden Core Realm experts from the Shenxiao Dao Sect, Louguan Dao Sect, and other sects surrounded Zhu Danzi, asking about the situation here.

Zhu Danzi was also taken aback when she saw so many experts.

Upon seeing his elders from the Louguan Dao sect, he regained his composure and recounted what had happened to him.

They told him everything about Canglan Zhenren, the woman in red, Li Yunjing, and the battle they had fought, without daring to hide anything!
"What! Li Yunjing came in?"

Elder Wang and another Elder Zhou from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" showed surprise. They exchanged a glance, not expecting that it was their "Shenxiao Dao Sect" who were capable and were the first to enter.

This will be very beneficial for distributing the treasure next!
The other sects' faces darkened upon hearing this, especially the elders of the Louguan Sect, who had lost seven disciples and were only the second to enter!

Wouldn't this merit belong to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
Especially this time, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has two elders in charge, so its power is not weak. If a conflict breaks out, other sects and families probably will not dare to fight against the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Only the Louguan Dao sect remained, and even they couldn't do anything to the Shenxiao Dao sect!

After all, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was the ruler of the Ming Dynasty and a behemoth in the entire Southern Continent. In terms of true strength, even ten "Louguan Dao Sects" would not be a match for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Inside the maze, these people couldn't find the right path.

This bought Li Yunjing another hour. In that hour, the hundreds of "puppet mechanical beasts" were like harvesters, moving at an extremely fast speed, and had already picked all the flowers, grass and trees in the vicinity.

Apart from those towering trees that were tens or hundreds of feet tall, Li Yunjing didn't let any of the others go.

Li Yunjing also kept some of those big trees, including the saplings and branches, to plant and cultivate them himself later.

After all the flowers, grass, and trees within a three-mile radius were picked clean, dozens of Li Yunjing's "puppet mechanical beasts" were lost as soon as they approached in other more distant areas.

This startled Li Yunjing, who quickly took control of the other "puppet mechanical beasts" and brought them back to his side.

"It seems that the surrounding peaks, both within a three-mile radius, are dangerous! We must not venture there!"

Li Yunjing was filled with regret. The more powerful the place, the better it was. There must be treasures there, perhaps even fourth-tier spiritual objects!

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing only regretted that this treasure had been opened too early.

If he waits three to five hundred years, his cultivation will reach the peak of the Golden Core Realm. Wouldn't he be able to easily break through all the restrictions and obtain all the benefits here?
Alas, things didn't go as planned!
After putting away most of his "puppet mechanical beasts," Li Yunjing left only three around him, forming a triangle in front of him as they continued to explore the path ahead.

When Li Yunjing arrived at the entrance of the manor, he stopped and looked up at the plaque, which read "Yuquan Manor".

Li Yunjing recalled his observations in the "Shenxiao Jade Book" and found no record of "Yuquan Villa".

Perhaps the owner of the manor is very influential, and Li Yunjing can find some records of him in the "Divine Firmament Jade Book," but the name of the manor is of little use to Li Yunjing.

After looking at the plaque, Li Yunjing examined the vermilion gate and then the two stone lions on either side of the entrance, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.

He doubted whether he could open the door and enter "Yuquan Villa".

"Fine! I've come this far, I won't give up until I try!"

Li Yunjing retreated ten zhang before urging one of the "puppet mechanical beasts" to prepare to push open the gate.

"Boom!"

Seemingly because of the offense caused by the "puppet mechanical beast," the two stone lions came to life. After a roar, they pounced on the "puppet mechanical beast" and tore it to shreds.

Immediately afterwards, the other two "puppet mechanical beasts" at the entrance were also reduced to fragments by the pounce of the two stone lions.

"Roar……"

The two stone lions, seemingly still unsatisfied, roared at Li Yunjing, who was ten feet away, and charged over.

"Damn it! A third-tier 'puppet mechanical beast'!"

Li Yunjing cursed and retreated repeatedly, activating the treasures on his body and throwing out talismans to create a defensive barrier in front of him.

However, all methods were rendered useless by the impact of the stone lion, turning into nothingness like paper.

Then, the two stone lions continued to pounce on Li Yunjing, as if they would not give up until they killed Li Yunjing, the intruder!
"The retreat route is only a little over three miles long, and there are still three difficult obstacles. There is no room for retreat! The only way is to rush into 'Jade Spring Mountain' to survive!" The more critical the moment, the calmer Li Yunjing became. He immediately released seven or eight "puppet mechanical beasts", which almost delayed the two stone lions.

Immediately, Li Yunjing raised his palm and with a loud "boom," unleashed a "Gengjin Divine Thunder," creating a hole the size of a water vat in the vermilion gate of "Yuquan Manor."

"Roar……"

The two stone lions became even angrier, smashing the seven or eight "puppet mechanical beasts" released by Li Yunjing to pieces with almost one slap each.

Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing released more than a dozen "puppet mechanical beasts" to block his way. Then, like a sharp arrow, Li Yunjing transformed into a streak of light and passed through the large hole in the door, entering "Yuquan Manor".

As soon as Li Yunjing entered the courtyard, he rolled on the ground and saw the stone bricks on the ground, which seemed to be the third-level "Golden Sand Stone".

The courtyard was covered with so many "golden stones," which shows how extravagant this important person's temple was!

"Damn! This big shot is rolling in money! Even if you stripped the floor tiles off, it would be enough for a group of Golden Core cultivators!"

Li Yunjing's heart was pounding. Some were starving to death, while others were stuffed to death. It was beyond words.

Ignoring everything else, Li Yunjing quickly stood up and released more than a dozen "puppet mechanical beasts" to surround him. He looked out through the hole in the gate and found that the two stone lions had returned to their original state and had not pursued him into the gate.

"It seems that the master originally instilled the order that the stone lions were only to guard the gate, and that they were not to be concerned with anything else!"

Li Yun nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.

Now that there was no danger behind him, Li Yunjing had time to turn around and survey the surrounding area.

Li Yunjing knew the special nature of "Yuquan Villa". Here, unlike the outside world, it was full of dangers and almost impossible to move an inch.

After the losses during the previous exploration, Li Yunjing's "puppet mechanical beasts" have dwindled to less than 300, so they need to be used with caution.

Otherwise, without the "puppet mechanical beast" to scout ahead, Li Yunjing's actions would be even more troublesome.

After looking around, there were pavilions and towers in all directions: east, west, north, and south. The three houses were connected by a long corridor in a U-shape. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a huge Shoushan stone.

Li Yunjing looked at the three-zhang-tall stone and his heart clenched again. This was a Shoushan stone made from a top-grade spirit stone.

Is this a huge piece of high-grade spirit stone?
How much currency can be divided from this?

You should know that in the cultivation world, the size of a spirit stone is generally only about the size of a mahjong tile!

Such a large piece, let alone Li Yunjing, probably even some of the Golden Core Realm elders in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have never seen before.

"When a man dies, the bird flies to the sky; if he doesn't die, he lives for ten thousand years! I'm going to be a man who dies for money, and a bird who dies for food!"

It's not that Li Yunjing lacks willpower; everyone's willpower has its limits!

If they really encounter something good, let alone ordinary people, even all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will fight to the death, until the heavens and earth collapse.

Now, Li Yunjing's endurance has reached its limit.

This Shoushan stone, crafted from a three-zhang-sized "top-grade spiritual stone," had already aroused Li Yunjing's greed.

Imagine how many wonderful things could be bought with such a huge rock!

Faced with such a good thing, Li Yunjing was determined to give it his all.

He released his mental energy and summoned four second-tier "puppet mechanical beasts" which stepped forward and lined up around the Shoushan stone, attempting to move it to Li Yunjing's side.

Once it's confirmed that moving the Shoushan stone won't trigger any mechanisms, Li Yunjing will personally take action and store this treasure mountain of spiritual stones into his "storage ring".

Now, Li Yunjing wears three storage rings on his left hand and a storage bracelet on his wrist. In terms of wealth and power, even some Golden Core elders are not as conspicuous as Li Yunjing's nouveau riche attitude!
Fortunately, there were no problems during this move.

Clearly, that half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert never imagined that someone could take away one of his Shoushan stones.

Those who like this thing are too weak to dare to take it; those who don't like it are all experts of the same level, and a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't do something so shameful.

It was for this reason that Li Yunjing benefited.

Li Yunjing was overjoyed to have acquired another treasure.

With money in hand, Li Yunjing became bolder.

His body was filled with high-grade spirit stones, which could fully activate the array plate of the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Array"!

As for the other magical treasures, they were all prepared and activated with power at the level of being scrapped!
Li Yunjing didn't take those talismans seriously at all!
As for magical power, it can be wasted at will. Anyway, Li Yunjing can keep using pills and high-grade spirit stones to restore his magical power, so there is no need to worry about him being in a weakened state.

This is the benefit of having spirit stones!

Money emboldens cowards!
With the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array," Li Yunjing became bolder and stepped directly onto the left-hand corridor, preparing to enter the room to see what good things were inside.

Just as Li Yunjing was exploring "Yuquan Manor", a second person appeared who had passed through the maze.

It was none other than the Immortal Canglan!
But the woman in red was nowhere to be found.

Clearly, they encountered danger inside the maze and couldn't find their way out. Perhaps they ran into people from various sects and were killed in the maze.

Upon entering, Master Canglan's face darkened. He also stepped onto the bluestone path, but after about a mile, he saw the fragments of the "puppet mechanical beasts" left by Li Yunjing, and only then did he realize that someone had entered this place.

At the same time, those fragments also served as a reminder to True Person Canglan that there was great danger here.

Just as Master Canglan was trying to figure out a way to get through this path, Li Yunjing pushed open the door and entered the side hall.

The side hall was completely empty.

Li Yunjing used the "puppet mechanical beast" to explore the way, but found nothing.

After leaving here, Li Yunjing walked through the corridor and came to the side hall on the right. This side hall was not empty, but was filled with some miscellaneous items.

Li Yunjing examined it and it seemed to be waste material from alchemy.

Li Yunjing handed the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" a top-grade magic weapon flying sword, ordering the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" to carry the sword, stir up the waste materials, and inspect the palace.

Finally, deep inside the main hall, Li Yunjing saw traces of fire burning on the ground. The traces were circular, indicating that a circular alchemy furnace must have once been placed there.

The place where important figures refine elixirs!

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing became somewhat excited. He didn't expect to find any fourth-tier spirit pills; just finding a few pill formulas here would be enough to make him happy.

Unfortunately, after checking, it seemed that everything in this side hall had been taken away.

On that row of medicine cabinets, only some empty bottles and jars remained. As for pills, there wasn't a single one left, nor were any books.

"These bottles and jars are also good stuff! They're all top-grade second-tier treasures!"

Just as Li Yunjing was feeling disappointed, he glanced at the dusty jars and bottles and his expression turned to surprise.

Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't let such a good thing go to waste, so he sent the "Puppet Mechanical Beast" to retrieve the items. However, this time, things didn't go so smoothly.

　My dear readers, please grant me a few monthly tickets! I'm begging for monthly tickets!
