Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 465 Spoiled and Pampered (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Even though he was thirty-three feet underground, Li Yunjing's divine sense could still clearly perceive the battle fluctuations on the ground.

The two demonic cultivators were clearly formidable; they held their own against the siege of thousands of fish demons.

"Senior brother, although these fish demons are numerous, they are low in intelligence and are nothing more than cannon fodder."

One of the demonic cultivators sneered, and the large black net in his hand unfolded again, instantly trapping dozens of fish demons once more.

Another demonic cultivator held a fishing rod and flicked it lightly, the hook piercing the body of a third-tier fish demon king like lightning.

The fish demon king let out a mournful roar, struggled a few times, and then had its demonic power drained by the strange force on the fishhook, turning it into a dried-up corpse.

"The demon cores of these fish demons are quite valuable; we can't waste them."

The demonic cultivator chuckled and casually pocketed the fish demon king's demon core.

Li Yunjing watched from underground with a furrowed brow.

These two demonic cultivators' methods were indeed bizarre, especially the large black net and fishing rod, which were clearly magical artifacts specifically designed to subdue demonic beasts.

If they continue like this, those fish demons will probably be wiped out soon, and then they will be able to approach that barren mountain without any hindrance.

"Old Li, what do we do? Are we just going to watch them get away with it?"

Fu Chao asked somewhat anxiously.

"No rush, just wait."

Li Yunjing said in a low voice, "Since this mountain can attract so many demonic beasts and demonic cultivators, it must be extraordinary. I have a feeling that things won't end so easily."

Sure enough, before long, several figures appeared in the sky above the lake; they were actually several cultivators from the Yuanyang Dao Sect.

Upon witnessing the battle between the two demonic cultivators and the monsters, they immediately revealed a greedy expression.

"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck! I never expected to find such an opportunity here!"

One of the cultivators from the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" laughed loudly.

"Fellow disciples, let's join forces, first eliminate these two demonic cultivators, and then deal with the remaining fish demons!"

Another person suggested.

"Those two are both Golden Core cultivators. Are we capable? Should we go find Senior Brother Zhu first?"

Another cultivator hesitated for a moment and offered a word of advice.

"What are you afraid of! What skills do these two demonic cultivators have? The six of us are all experts at the eighth or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If we join forces to set up the Six Harmonies Grand Formation, we might not be unable to deal with the two of them!"

The cultivator who had laughed earlier said disdainfully.

"Hmm! With our strength, even if we can't kill them, we can at least hold them off! Otherwise, if we don't make a move, wouldn't those two fiends benefit?"

Another cultivator chimed in.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment experts of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect," all evil and heretical sects are not worth worrying about.

They recognized both of the demonic cultivators.

It was not an elder from the "Netherworld Ghost Sect", but an elder from the "Yinshan Sect".

Although the Yinshan Sect also has a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, its overall strength is not strong, and it is not taken seriously by the disciples of the behemoth sect!

These six disciples of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" all came from a behemoth power. Apart from paying enough attention to the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", they completely disregarded others.

In their view, despite the high level of these two demonic cultivators, they seemed quite adept at dealing with these fish demons. If it were them, they would be just as capable!
That's precisely why we have such confidence!
These six members of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" were eager to try their luck and take the initiative to attack the two Golden Core Realm experts.

"These guys are really arrogant!"

While underground, Li Yunjing couldn't help but curse in his heart.

These two Golden Core cultivators from the Yinshan Sect are not highly skilled, only at the second level of the Golden Core Realm, but they are not someone you six good-for-nothings would dare to mess with, are they?

Li Yunjing immediately understood what was going on!

The Yuanyang Dao Sect provided such good protection that its disciples developed an arrogant and self-important attitude.

In fact, within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", there are also some cultivators who have never ventured out into the world. In their eyes, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is the heaven!

Any force, especially those demons, monsters, and bald monks, lived in constant fear and scattered in all directions under the suppression of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

This phenomenon is partly due to sect propaganda, which aims to enhance the cohesion of sect disciples.

Another aspect is that these people are too inexperienced. When they encounter Golden Core cultivators from affiliated sects and families on their own territory, these experts greet them with smiles, which makes them think that Golden Core cultivators outside are nothing special.

Now, these six disciples of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" are like this.

In their hearts, they didn't think that the two mere Golden Core cultivators from the Yinshan Sect could do anything to them!
"The demon lord of the Yinshan Sect! Retreat at once! Otherwise, don't blame us for slaying the demon!"

Once the six disciples of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" reached an agreement, they immediately began shouting towards the battlefield.

"Damn it! A few brats from the Yuanyang Dao Sect dare to talk to us like that?"

The Golden Core Realm demon cultivator who used the demonic net had a ferocious expression and glared fiercely at the people from the "Yuan Yang Dao Sect".

"Senior brother! Quickly kill these brats! Otherwise, things might get complicated!"

The demonic cultivator wielding the fishing rod was equally menacing.

"court death!"

Hearing his junior brother's words, the demonic cultivator, who was holding a large black net, snorted and suddenly waved his hand. The "Nether Net" that had been covering the fish demon suddenly contracted and turned into a black light that flew back into his hand.

Immediately, he flashed and charged directly towards the six members of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect"!
"Not good! Form ranks immediately!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Yuanyang Dao Sect immediately reacted. The six of them quickly took their positions, made hand seals, and a dazzling Six Harmonies Array instantly formed, with golden light flowing around it, protecting them within.

"Hmph! You dare to show off your mere Six Harmonies Formation in front of me?"

The demonic cultivator sneered, and with a sudden jerk of the "Nether Net" in his hand, the black net swelled up in the wind, growing to a size of tens of feet, and swept over the six people!

"boom!"

The black net collided with the great formation, golden light and black energy intertwined, and a violent shockwave of true energy erupted.

The six people's expressions changed as they felt an extremely cold power seep in, which even slowed down their spiritual energy circulation!

"There's something strange about this magic net!"

One of them exclaimed.

"Don't panic! Activate the formation with all your might!"

The leading cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted.

However, before they could regain their footing, another demonic cultivator made his move!
"Whoosh..."

With a flick of the fishing rod, the hook shot out like a venomous snake, instantly piercing through the great array barrier and heading straight for the throat of one of the cultivators!

"puff!"

Before the cultivator could react, the fishhook had already pierced his throat. Then, a strange suction force erupted, and his flesh and blood essence was frantically devoured!
"what……"

Amidst a piercing scream, the cultivator instantly turned into a dried-up corpse. Deprived of his magical power, the body fell directly into the lake below.

"Junior Brother Wang!"

The other five people were horrified, their eyes wide with shock.

They then realized that they had seriously underestimated the strength of these two demonic cultivators!
"Run! Run!"

The leading cultivator finally panicked, immediately dispelled the formation, and turned to flee.

However, would that demonic cultivator give them a chance?

"Want to run now? It's too late!"

The "Nether Net" suddenly contracted, instantly trapping the five people. The fishing rod demon cultivator sneered and cast the fishing hook again, hooking another cultivator and instantly draining his life essence!

"Ah! Help! Senior Brother Zhu! Save us!"

The remaining four struggled frantically, desperately activating their protective magic treasures, but their struggles seemed utterly futile in the face of these two Golden Core Realm demonic cultivators.

"Hmph, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to provoke a Golden Core cultivator? He's courting death!"

The demonic cultivator sneered repeatedly, his hands moving without stopping. In the blink of an eye, two more people lost their lives to the fishing hooks.

"It's over..."

The remaining two were ashen-faced, their eyes filled with despair.

"Strange! These two elders from the Yinshan Sect are really peculiar. What kind of magic weapon is this? It's so powerful!"

Even Li Yunjing and Fu Chao, who were underground, stared wide-eyed. They simply couldn't believe that these two demonic cultivators could kill the disciples of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" so swiftly!

Even Li Yunjing overturned his own judgment!

He originally thought that the six people from the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" working together could at least put up a fight against the experts from the "Yinshan Sect".

Little did they know, they would be routed in no time. "Old Li, the 'Yuanyang Dao Sect' is about to be wiped out, what do we do?"

Fu Chao transmitted his voice.

"Never mind them! It's better if they're dead! Otherwise, what are we going to do with them here? We can't fight them, we can't kill them, so we might as well use the elders of the Yinshan Sect to take care of the people from the Yuanyang Dao Sect!"

At this point, Li Yunjing even considered harboring bandits to enhance his own power.

Utilize the experts among the rogue cultivators, demonic beasts, and evil cultivators to eliminate as many members of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" as possible.

Without these so-called allies, the benefits can be monopolized.

After all, this alliance between the two sides is not so harmonious; they are secretly competing in every aspect!
However, just as the remaining two disciples of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" were about to be killed, an unexpected change occurred.

"boom!"

A blazing beam of fire suddenly descended from the sky, directly striking the two demonic cultivators!
"Um?!"

The two demonic cultivators' expressions changed, and they immediately dodged away, then looked up.

In mid-air, a middle-aged man dressed in a crimson Taoist robe stood, surrounded by flames, exuding an astonishing aura.

"Brother Zhu!"

The two surviving disciples of the Yuanyang Dao Sect were overjoyed, as if they had seen their saviors.

"Zhu Yangzi!"

The two demonic cultivators' eyes narrowed as they recognized the newcomer.

A true disciple of the Yuanyang Dao Sect, a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core Realm!
"You dare kill my 'Yuanyang Dao Sect' disciples, Wang Qian and Wang Kun? You're courting death!"

Zhu Yangzi let out a cold shout and waved his hand, unleashing a monstrous wave of fire!

"Hmph, Zhu Yangzi, we do not wish to be enemies with your 'Yuanyang Dao Sect,' but it is your people who have gone too far!"

Although Wang Qian and Wang Kun were wary, they did not back down. They saw great benefits in that barren mountain!

Driven by the need for resources, the two demonic cultivators were determined to fight to the death!
As long as there's no absolute no chance, they'll have to fight Zhu Yangzi.

"Heh, this is going to be interesting."

Li Yunjing's lips curled up slightly, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

"Let the dogs fight it out, we can just watch the show!"

Fu Chao asked in a low voice.

"Hmm! It'll be good to watch the excitement!"

Li Yunjing's gaze was deep as he calmly transmitted his voice, "However, I don't think these two from the Yinshan Sect can hold off Zhu Yangzi for long!"

"Too!"

Fu Chao echoed.

The prodigy of this behemoth sect is terrifying beyond measure!
The supernatural powers and spells they cultivate, as well as the magical treasures they use, are all top-tier, making them vastly different from first-rate sects like the "Yinshan Sect".

It can be said that it is difficult for cultivators of the same level to compete between the two!
Zhu Yangzi's cultivation level was higher than Wang Qian and Wang Kun's, and he also possessed a powerful treasure, making it impossible for Wang Qian and Wang Kun to win.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the two sides clashed in a chaotic melee.

"Zhu Yangzi is here! We don't need to wait for him to win so we can share the spoils! Let's get up this mountain first!"

After watching for a while, Li Yunjing saw that Wang Qian and Wang Kun could hold out for at least a hundred rounds without any problem, so he immediately changed his plan.

"it is good!"

Fu Chao responded.

Li Yunjing and his companion traveled underground, circling around to the other side of the mountain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the two quietly sneaked down to the foot of the mountain.

As soon as Li Yunjing approached the barren mountain, he felt a metallic chill travel from his feet into his body. Even a master like him couldn't help but shiver.

"It's really weird!"

A hint of joy flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. He quickly set up a concealment array around the mountain to prevent others from discovering their whereabouts.

At this point, it's best to keep it a secret as long as possible.

Once he has explored the details of this barren mountain peak, and learned what it is and what its value is, Li Yunjing will decide whether or not to turn against the people of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect"!
As the two ventured deeper, the metallic properties became increasingly pronounced.

Li Yunjing had a vague premonition that this mountain was not made of soil, but was a metal mountain!
Li Yunjing's aura suddenly changed, and his whole body was like a sharp sword, filled with "Gengjin True Qi". Anyone who saw him would think that he was a sword cultivator with a metal element spiritual root!

"Too good!"

Fu Chao stood to the side, looking at Li Yunjing with envy.

Old Li can freely transform the power of the five elements within him; wherever there are five elements, he can move around with ease.

With someone like that here, what can't they discover?
"Dangdangdang..."

Li Yunjing swept away the loose soil on the mountain, tapped and knocked around everywhere, and used his own "Geng Metal True Qi" to sense the metal elements inside.

“‘Mysterious Gold Divine Iron’! This looks like ‘Mysterious Gold Divine Iron’!”

After exploring it repeatedly, Li Yunjing became excited.

He figured out what material the mountain was made of!

"Mysterious Gold Divine Iron" is a mid-grade third-tier material. It is jet black with golden patterns on its surface. It is extremely hard and contains innate Geng metal energy, which can break all laws.

Besides being used to forge magical artifacts and greatly enhance their sharpness, "Mysterious Gold Divine Iron" can also be incorporated into armor to resist the five elements of magic, especially fire and wood-based attacks.

Golden Core cultivators and above can even absorb the Geng Metal Qi within, strengthening their Metal Spiritual Root and enhancing the power of Metal-based cultivation techniques!
This thing is so useful!

In the world of cultivation, there are countless cultivators with the metal element!

It can be said that anyone who obtains this mountain formed from "mysterious gold and divine iron" will never lack money in this lifetime!
Selling even a fist-sized piece would be enough to sustain one's cultivation for several years.

"Bang bang bang..."

Li Yunjing's heart began to pound violently.

If he obtains this treasure mountain, he can use the "Gengjin Power" to prioritize perfecting his metal cultivation and break through to the Golden Core Realm!
However, this does not align with his cultivation path.

Li Yunjing forcibly suppressed his thoughts, believing that the path of cultivation was to achieve balance among the five elements and make progress together.

"Old Li, you're saying this is a mountain formed from 'mysterious gold and divine iron'?"

Fu Chao swallowed hard, his eyes widened, and he stammered.

He was a man of great knowledge and experience; how could he not know the significance of this mountain?
"Holy crap! Something's wrong!"

Before Li Yunjing could reply, Fu Chao suddenly became excited.

"What's broken?"

Li Yunjing was startled and asked instinctively.

"We can't take it! It's a mountain! Can our storage magic treasures even hold a tenth of it?"

Fu Chao explained with a pained expression.

After hearing Fu Chao's words, Li Yunjing relaxed, but then frowned. Fu Chao was right; they couldn't take this mountain away!
Thinking about this, Li Yunjing became worried.

Leaving empty-handed despite guarding a mountain of treasure?

No one can accept this result!

But this mountain is too big!
If we were to obtain the Southern Continent, it would be a veritable mine!

Countless forces fought tooth and nail, and once one force conquered the area, it would send out many cultivators to guard it and slowly mine and develop it for hundreds or even thousands of years, ensuring a steady flow of resources.

Now, how can Li Yunjing and Fu Chao possibly eat all the food themselves?
But this mountain is too big!

Even if we call Ying Qianqian and the others over, it doesn't seem like enough!
"Damn it! This mountain is so big, even if all the cultivators came, they couldn't divide it all up! What's there to argue about!"

Li Yunjing cursed inwardly.

Li Yunjing could guarantee that if he gathered everyone together and told them to fill as much as they could with their own abilities, these cultivators would definitely disagree!
The greed of cultivators is unimaginable!
People from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Yuanyang Dao Sect" might loot the place and then use the ancient teleportation array to return, but those demonic cultivators, rogue cultivators, and monster cultivators will most likely stay here and become kings of the mountain!
"Fu Chao, we can't be greedy."

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, "Since we can't take the whole mountain, let's take the most essential part!"

"The most essential part?"

Fu Chao was taken aback, then quickly realized, "You mean... the core of this mountain?"

"Not bad!"

Li Yunjing nodded, “'Mysterious Gold Divine Iron' is a third-tier material, but such a massive mine must have given birth to a higher-tier 'Mysterious Gold Divine Marrow'! That is the true treasure!”
