Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 312 Foundation Establishment Realm, Fourth Level (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The "source of life" stored for seven thousand years, who knows how much of it has been wasted by the tree demon over the years.

Soon, Li Yunjing and Canglan Zhenren stopped; there wasn't a single drop of water left in front of them.

After absorbing half of the "Fountain of Life," a dazzling divine light emanated from his body, his complexion became rosy, and his internal energy surged wave after wave.

Sensing the powerful aura of Canglan Zhenren, Li Yunjing had no choice but to retreat and stay away from this person.

Like Canglan Zhenren, Li Yunjing also tasted some of the "Fountain of Life". When the "Fountain of Life" entered his mouth, it tasted incredibly sweet, sweeter than any other spiritual spring he had ever drunk.

The "source of life" went down his throat and into his stomach, and instantly, bursts of energy erupted within his body.

Within Li Yunjing's body, it was as if a burning flame was burning.

Soon, the energy flowing from his stomach entered his internal organs and then circulated through his blood vessels and meridians, spreading throughout his body.

Finally, this energy entered Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, and from the depths of that sea of ​​thunder, rolling thunderous power was transmitted and fed back to all parts of his body.

Energy filled the three dantians, and with a "boom," Li Yunjing's entire body was filled with power. The true essence transformed from magic power in his body was also increasing.

Li Yunjing's mind became clearer, and the power of his divine sense became stronger, enough to detect much greater distances.

After taking only two or three sips of the "Fountain of Life," the surging energy broke through all the shackles of the body once again, entering a new realm.

Foundation Establishment Realm, Fourth Heaven!

After more than six years of cultivation, Li Yunjing has already broken through to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this level, he has caught up with many of his fellow disciples, and in terms of skill level alone, he is already at an intermediate level.

In terms of combat strength, Li Yunjing's strength is already equivalent to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He is confident that he can contend with any seventh level Foundation Establishment Realm expert, no matter which behemoth they come from.

Currently, among the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," apart from those peak Foundation Establishment Realm experts, there are fewer than forty or fifty people who can defeat Li Yunjing.

"Kid, your cultivation has improved again? You've reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

When Li Yunjing finished cultivating, Master Canglan looked at him coldly, his eyes revealing malice.

"Hehe! Should I call you Senior Canglan now?"

Li Yunjing looked at Canglan Zhenren and said with a grin, "Congratulations, senior, on regaining your cultivation!"

"Hmph! I'm still far from recovering my peak cultivation level. I barely have any means to protect myself!"

Master Canglan's cultivation level has recovered to the Golden Core Realm and has even reached the peak of the second level of the Golden Core Realm!

This level of skill left Master Canglan slightly disappointed.

He never imagined that the "source of life" he had been so devoted to would be so little left, barely enough to restore him to the Golden Core realm. As he himself said, he was still far from returning to his peak.

Even with the "source of life" in Li Yunjing's body, it wouldn't be enough to significantly improve his cultivation.

At present, Master Canglan has only two words in his heart: "disappointment"!
"Senior, the 'source of life' here doesn't match what you described! It's all because of this tree demon that it took all our benefits. Why don't we join forces again, slay the tree demon, and divide the tree body equally to make up for our losses?"

Li Yunjing chuckled.

There's no need to be afraid!

In any case, Master Canglan currently has a good chance of survival, so he wouldn't violate his oath to Heaven just because he wanted to kill him prematurely.

"Alright! Let's get started!"

A cold glint flashed in Canglan Zhenren's eyes, and his figure flew out, still attacking the tree trunk from inside the tree!
Li Yunjing then used his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" to slay the tree roots and collect them for future use in weapon crafting and medicine making.

This tree demon was simply too large, boundless, like a small city. Neither Li Yunjing nor Canglan Zhenren could possibly pack its body away and take it with them.

The only option is to kill the tree demon, collect some materials, and then try to capture its primordial spirit to refine it and obtain the greatest benefit.

Of course, the balance of power between Li Yunjing and Canglan Zhenren has been disrupted.

Master Canglan's goal was very clear: to obtain the primordial spirit of the giant tree. Li Yunjing could not compete with him and could only choose to go down and collect the tree roots.

Some of these tree roots could even be planted and cultivated, so Li Yunjing didn't lose out.

"Hmm? A spirit stone mine?"

As Li Yunjing dug, he sensed something was wrong. He cut off several of the extra roots and went down a little further, where he saw wisps of spiritual energy emerging from the ground.

It turns out that this giant tree was able to develop sentience and cultivate to this level. In addition to the "source of life," it also had a spiritual vein for its cultivation!

"That's it! 'Jade Spring Manor' has existed for over seven thousand years. Without the care of the Jade Spring Hermit, how would it maintain so many restrictions and formations? Isn't it just this one spiritual vein?"

Li Yunjing understood what was going on.

But looking at the land below, Li Yunjing fell silent.

Spiritual veins are different from other things; Li Yunjing simply has no way to mine them. This is not something that a few cultivators can do!
"Report?"

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

Nowadays, maximizing profits seems to be the best approach.

He pierced the ground with the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" and unearthed a spirit stone embryo.

Li Yunjing held the stone in his hand, looking at the stone that exuded a rich spiritual energy, and fell silent.

Based on the fluctuations in spiritual energy, this spirit stone embryo is at least a mid-grade or higher spirit stone!
You should know that this is only the surface!

If we delve deeper into the spiritual veins, we'll likely find a large number of high-grade spirit stones!

What if there are also top-grade spirit stones inside?
That grade of spirit stone is not only used by cultivators for cultivation, but it is also an excellent treasure for refining magic weapons and setting up formations!

You should know that Li Yunjing doesn't have a single top-grade spirit stone at the moment!
At this moment, Li Yunjing had his own selfish motives!

If this truth can be concealed, will he still have a chance to come back and personally mine a spiritual vein in the future?
As Li Yunjing played with the spirit stone in his hand, his expression kept changing. He was caught in a dilemma. The value of a spirit vein was hard to estimate; it was at least an astronomical fortune!
With such a mineral vein, what can't you get?

Li Yunjing had one question: Did he have a chance to obtain this treasure on his own?
Every plant and tree in "Yuquan Manor" is a treasure. Will more masters appear here in the future?

Will these people discover the spiritual veins here through their exploration?
If Li Yunjing could discover it himself, wouldn't other experts have noticed it?

Thinking about this, Li Yunjing lost confidence!

"Forget it! I'll just tell Elder Wang and Elder Zhou this news! As for whether they can get the benefits here or not, that's none of my business! Anyway, I'm definitely going to get all the credit for discovering the spiritual vein!"

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing gritted his teeth, reluctantly took out the "communication talisman," and sent the message to Elder Wang and Elder Zhou.

Li Yunjing obtained the two elders' contact information from them when they met up earlier. With this contact information, he could quickly transmit messages here and not let any benefits slip away.

Therefore, the two elders gave Li Yunjing their communication contact information.

When Li Yunjing's message arrived, the two elders looked at it at the same time and couldn't help but show a look of horror.

The two exchanged a glance and realized the seriousness of the situation!
In particular, Li Yunjing explained his speculations in detail, as well as the matter of Canglan Zhenren recovering his cultivation!

Currently, the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are unable to gain the upper hand in the "Yuquan Manor," and they need to think of a solution.

"How to do?"

Elder Zhou secretly asked via telepathy.

"There's no other way! This place is no longer within our control! I will crush my identity token to activate its location tracking function and lure the sect's experts here!"

Elder Wang gritted his teeth and made this decision.

It should be noted that the ordinary identity token of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has no special function.

However, for true disciples and elders, their identity tokens were managed by designated personnel within the "Shenxiao Daozong" sect after the sect's destruction.

Elder Wang is a master at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm!
It holds a pivotal position within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

With such cultivation, if this elder's identity token shatters, it would likely mean his demise. This is a matter of utmost importance!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect will immediately dispatch experts to the location where the identity token was most likely to disappear.

Elder Wang acted immediately. Secretly, hidden in his sleeve, he crushed the supreme "Shenxiao Dao Sect" elder token into powder!

"Boom!"

An invisible beam of light shot out from Elder Wang's sleeve and dissipated into the surroundings.

Meanwhile, back at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," someone indeed noticed the anomaly and immediately reported the news to the sect's higher-ups.

Not long after, a "Shenxiao Warship" broke through the sky from the depths of the "Shenxiao Mountains"!

Regardless of whether Elder Wang is alive or dead, or what happened to him!
If anyone dares to kill an elder of their "Shenxiao Dao Sect", then it will be a fight to the death, with no possibility of reconciliation!

This is the domineering nature of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

"Alright! Let's go to the entrance to greet the sect's experts!"

After Elder Wang had done all this, he led Elder Zhou back the way they had come from "Yuquan Manor".

The other four elders were stunned when they saw this scene, but then they realized something and their expressions changed drastically!

After thinking it over, the four of them dared not act alone at this time. They followed Elder Wang and Elder Zhou back the way they came. The four of them even made it clear on the way that they would follow the lead of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Everyone here is intelligent; how could they not know that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has sent reinforcements?
Since they couldn't compete with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," they naturally had to submit to it and get a share of the spoils.

Elder Wang and Elder Zhou were very satisfied with the four people's sensibility.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the maze. Elder Wang looked at True Person Cangyue, True Person Cangsong, and the ancestors of the Ma and Sima families, and said with a smile, "Everyone, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but I've notified the experts of the sects to come and help!"

"Indeed, I, Li Yunjing, a disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, have discovered a spiritual vein in the mountains behind the manor!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the Cangyue True Man, the Cangsong True Man, and the ancestors of the Ma and Sima families were extremely shocked. Only then did they realize the reason. They never expected that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would discover a spiritual vein without them even noticing!
The spiritual veins are the foundation!
For the sake of the foundation, informing the sect seems reasonable!

In particular, none of the six of them had the ability to mine a spiritual vein!
"However, please rest assured! All the benefits you receive are yours! The benefits received by the remaining disciples are also theirs! In fact, our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' will distribute compensation to each of you according to a certain proportion based on the treasures here!"

Elder Zhou also smiled and comforted everyone.

"Thank you, Elder Wang and Elder Zhou!"

What else could the others do but offer a forced, insincere thank you with a wry smile?

The experts from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" will arrive extremely quickly. Once they arrive, they will surely sweep everything away. For the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," those who submit to them will prosper, and those who oppose them will perish.

Which sect or faction would dare to utter a single word of "no"?

That's truly shameless!

At that very moment, the patriarchs of the Cangyue and Cangsong families, as well as the Ma and Sima families, began sending messages, urging the surviving disciples to gather here.

As for the treasure hunt, it can be terminated now!
Elder Wang and Elder Zhou, having discovered the spiritual vein, had to suppress their greed and notify the sect, leaving no room for anyone else to interfere.

……

While everyone was waiting, the gibbon also received many benefits.

Growing up in "Yuquan Manor," it could be considered a semi-host, and it actually gained quite a few benefits by opening one restriction after another.

The gibbon's injuries have largely healed.

Meanwhile, on Li Yunjing's side, a fighting sound erupted from above. Not long after, the sound stopped, and Li Yunjing sensed that the roots of the giant tree seemed to be weakening, and its powerful aura was slowly dissipating.

Li Yunjing knew it must be the primordial spirit of the giant tree, which had been killed by True Person Canglan.

Li Yunjing paved the soil and stones below again, then flew up silently to pick some branches, leaves, and bark.

Master Canglan did not comment on Li Yunjing's actions.

Having slain the giant tree's primordial spirit, True Immortal Canglan truly refined it, transforming it into life force, which he then integrated into himself, preparing to break through to a new realm.

"Alright! We've achieved our goals. I'm leaving now. If you're so capable, go ahead and kill me outside!"

Li Yunjing smiled at Canglan Zhenren and said something profound.

"Humph!"

Master Canglan wanted to stop Li Yunjing, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up and just gave Li Yunjing a cold look.

His cultivation level is about to recover to the third level of the Golden Core Realm!

Li Yunjing is such an ant that he can't escape his pursuit. Let Li Yunjing escape for his life first!

The fun of cats catching mice lies in the chase!
Canglan Zhenren treated Li Yunjing as a little mouse that brought him joy!

"Farewell!"

Seeing that Canglan Zhenren had stopped moving, Li Yunjing subconsciously looked up at the sky, as if the sun and moon in the sky also had a great significance.

Li Yunjing didn't dare to think too much about it. He suddenly darted out and flew towards the villa.

Elder Zhou has already sent him a message, telling him to return and gather his forces to await reinforcements!

At this point, Li Yunjing naturally didn't want to cause any further trouble.

"The profits this time were pretty good! In short, I have everything I need for the time being."

As he mentally assessed the supplies, a smile crept onto Li Yunjing's face as he continued toward the outside of the manor.

Along the way, they passed through three courtyards, two courtyards, and Li Yunjing shook his head inwardly at the mess around him.

No wonder the sect elders were so slow; they had been focusing their efforts on breaking the restrictions. Apart from the three courtyards, which still hadn't been broken, the first and second courtyards were practically ready to be demolished!

They practically swept away everything they could carry.

As Li Yunjing left the three passes again, his aura appeared outside the maze, and the gazes of the six Golden Core Realm elders turned towards him.

Especially the patriarchs of the Cangyue and Cangsong families, as well as the Ma and Sima families, looked at Li Yunjing with very complicated expressions.

This seemingly insignificant person learned that there was a spiritual vein beneath "Jade Spring Manor," made a great contribution, and cut off their path to continue searching for treasure.

"come over!"

Upon seeing Li Yunjing appear, Elder Zhou and Elder Wang both gave him approving smiles and waved to him.

"Yes! Elder!"

Seeing the smiles of the two elders, Li Yunjing was overjoyed, knowing that he had made a great contribution. He quickly flew over and came to the side of the two elders.

Only then did Li Yunjing have time to look around. He saw that among all the sects and households, there were only a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators left.

This greatly shocked Li Yunjing!

Little did he know that the eight elders had fought fiercely over the treasures within the barrier, becoming trapped in the formation and suffering heavy losses from a sneak attack by the Long-Armed Ape and the Azure Lan Immortal.

Looking around at the few people left, Li Yunjing felt a pang of sadness.

"Alright! No need to ask any more questions, just wait! Soon, the people from our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' will be here!"

Elder Zhou seemed to understand what Li Yunjing was about to say. He smiled slightly and said confidently, "If we block them here, those Long-Armed Apes and Canglan Zhenren, as long as they are not at the Nascent Soul stage, they are doomed!"

"Yes! This disciple understands!"

Li Yunjing suddenly realized what was happening. He stood still, staring at the entrance to the maze, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Not long after, within a quarter of an hour, five or six powerful auras emanated from the maze.

Before Li Yunjing could think further, six powerful figures at the Golden Core Realm of the Divine Firmament Palace strode out from within.
