Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 586 Uncovering the Conspiracy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon seeing the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace," the Pill Cauldron Peak Master's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance, and he snatched the furnace to examine it closely.

His calloused hands gently caressed the stove, as tenderly as if he were stroking a lover's skin.

"Good boy!"

The peak master of Dan Ding suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Where did you get this furnace? It's clearly a replica of the ancient 'Liuli Sect's' most prized treasure!"

“Our ancestor has such discerning eyes; this is something I purchased from the ‘Treasure Pavilion’ at a great price.”

Li Yunjing chuckled: "I upgraded it three times myself, but unfortunately my cultivation level is not high enough to raise it to the peak of the third rank, so I want to ask the ancestor for help."

"you……"

The Dan Ding Peak Master snorted coldly, "It seems you really are treating me like a laborer today."

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing gave a dry laugh and remained silent.

He took out the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace" on a whim, since he had already troubled the Pill Cauldron Peak Master once, so what difference would a second time make?

This is a grandmaster of alchemy!

Besides his exceptional alchemy skills, his research on alchemy furnaces is undoubtedly far superior to that of ordinary master weapon refiners.

In order to improve efficiency, Li Yunjing naturally swallowed his pride and asked for help.

"let me try!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's shamelessness, the Dan Ding Peak Master had no choice but to smile wryly and examine the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace" over and over again.

Fifteen minutes later, he suddenly frowned: "You've upgraded this furnace three times, and its structure is no longer the same as before. It seems there's a conflict between them. No wonder you asked me for help!"

"exactly."

Li Yunjing nodded hurriedly: "Ancestor, you see..."

"You're lucky, kid!"

After pondering for a moment, the Dan Ding Peak Master suddenly grinned and said, "I have recently collected a batch of 'Heavenly Crystal Sand' and 'Mysterious Fire Refined Gold,' which can be used to upgrade the treasure furnace."

Li Yunjing was overjoyed upon hearing this and was about to express his gratitude when he saw the Dan Ding Peak Master raise three fingers: "However, there are three conditions."

"Please speak, Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing quickly said.

Paying a price and gaining something in return is the rule of interaction among cultivators.

Even those from the same school should have a sense of boundaries.

Aside from teacher-student and husband-wife relationships, other relationships require reciprocity.

Sometimes, even between teachers and students, or husbands and wives, they would give each other benefits to deepen their relationship.

"I haven't decided yet!"

A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the Pill Cauldron Peak Master. "I'll come looking for you again when I remember!"

"make a deal!"

Li Yunjing's eyes darted around, and he readily agreed: "However, if it's beyond my capabilities, I'll have to disappoint the Ancestor."

Li Yunjing would agree to what he could, but he certainly wouldn't risk his life to do what he couldn't!

He is not stupid!

"It's alright, I was just curious."

Peak Master Dan Ding waved his hand, then said solemnly, "There's no time to lose, you go to the front lines! Leave this to me!"

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing nodded, bid farewell to the Dan Ding Peak Master, sent a message to the Five Elements True Man, transformed into a streak of azure light, soared into the sky from "Shenxiao Island", and in the blink of an eye, broke through the clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

He activated his speed to the fullest extent, his spiritual energy surging, leaving a faint trace of light in the void.

After flying a thousand miles, dark clouds gathered over the sea ahead, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Li Yunjing frowned, sensing a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy in that area.

"Are people having a magical duel?"

He concealed his presence and quietly approached.

Three Golden Core cultivators in different attire were seen besieging a female cultivator from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

The female cultivator was severely injured, her Taoist robe stained with blood, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Is that Senior Sister Zhou from 'Yuheng Peak'?"

Li Yunjing recognized the female cultivator, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"court death!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he flipped his right hand, and "Five Elements Divine Thunder" condensed in his palm.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky, instantly turning an old man into a charred corpse.

"what happened?"

The remaining two were shocked and before they could react, two more bolts of lightning flashed by.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two were blasted into charcoal in mid-air, their bodies plummeting towards the sea.

Senior Sister Zhou stood there stunned until Li Yunjing appeared in front of her, at which point she came to her senses: "Vice Sect Leader Li! You saved me!"

"Senior Sister Zhou, what happened?"

Li Yunjing asked in a deep voice, while taking out a third-tier "healing pill" and handing it to Zhou Lingxue.

"I was ordered to contact the 'Azure Sea Palace' to discuss the deployment of troops. I had just entered this sea area when I was besieged."

Zhou Lingxue took the pill, her expression softening slightly: "These enemies are very tight-lipped and haven't revealed their origins. I don't know where they come from! However, their methods are all different, so they shouldn't be from the same sect!"

"Azure Sea Palace?"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened. "I've been in seclusion recently. When you go out, do you often encounter such dangers?"

"That's how it is."

Zhou Lingxue hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Speak your mind directly, don't beat around the bush!"

Seeing Zhou Lingxue's hesitant manner, Li Yunjing frowned and whispered a warning.

"Is such that!"

Startled by Li Yunjing's words, Zhou Lingxue's face showed fear. "Recently, there have been frequent attacks on our outing personnel. Not counting those in the alliance, our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' alone has lost ten Golden Core cultivators."

"What! Such a huge loss?"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed coldly, and he finally understood why the Dan Ding Peak Master was so anxious to wait for him to come out of seclusion!
It is highly likely that the "Tianluo Dao Sect" bribed a group of cultivators to intercept and kill members of the "East Sea Alliance" in various parts of the East Sea, causing widespread panic.

"I see."

Li Yunjing handed Zhou Shimei a talisman, "This is a 'Thunder Shield Talisman,' which can ensure your safe arrival at 'Azure Sea Palace.'"

Before Zhou Lingxue could respond, Li Yunjing had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance, his speed three times faster than before!
"It seems I need to get to the front lines as soon as possible and assign a group of experts to specifically search for these spies and eradicate them completely!"

Li Yunjing transformed into a streak of azure light, swiftly traversing the sea of ​​clouds, his heart surging with killing intent.

As he was pondering this, a sudden sense of foreboding struck him!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three streaks of dark light shot down from the sea below, moving with lightning speed, aiming straight for Li Yunjing's vitals!

"court death!"

Already fuming, Li Yunjing snorted coldly when he saw someone trying to ambush him. He suddenly rose into the air and waved his sleeve, turning the "Five Elements Divine Thunder" into a net of lightning that shattered the three streaks of dark light.

"boom!"

The sea exploded, and three figures soared into the sky, forming a triangle that surrounded Li Yunjing.

"I never expected to encounter such a big fish today!"

The leader was an old man in black robes with a sinister face, who sneered.

"Hahaha! Kill him and you'll get a huge reward!"

A middle-aged, bearded cultivator sized up Li Yunjing and said with a loud laugh.

"Enough with the nonsense! This is 'East China Sea Alliance' territory. Kill this man quickly and complete the mission!"

The third person was a middle-aged woman in red, who coldly shouted.

Li Yunjing glanced at them and found that all three were Golden Core cultivators, and their auras were strange, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary cultivators.

"Who are you?"

Li Yunjing asked coldly.

"Heh heh! The one who'll kill you!"

"Do it!"

The old man, the bearded giant, and the woman in red attacked almost simultaneously, their surging magical power intertwining in the air like a giant net, enveloping Li Yunjing.

"court death!"

Since the other party was stubborn and unwilling to listen, Li Yunjing didn't bother with any more words. He flipped his right hand, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" vibrated repeatedly, releasing thousands of lightning balls that instantly transformed into a sea of ​​lightning, enveloping the three of them!
"what……"

Amidst the deafening explosions, the bearded cultivator screamed as he was engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"How can it be!"

"Wang Manzi!" The other two were shocked and hurriedly summoned their magical weapons to defend themselves.

The old man in black robes took out a black bone shield; the woman in red threw out a string of blood-red prayer beads, which transformed into a blood-red light to protect her.

"A mere evil artifact dares to block my way?"

Li Yunjing sneered, unleashing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword with sweeping, powerful strikes that forced the two men to retreat repeatedly.

"Boom!"

The lightning bolt, like a dragon, shattered the bone shield in an instant, sending the black-robed elder flying backward, coughing up blood.

Upon seeing this, the woman in red turned to flee, but Li Yunjing grabbed her from afar, and the "Five Elements Divine Thunder" transformed into a giant hand, crushing her instantly!

"boom……"

The blood mist exploded, staining the sea red.

"who are you!"

The old man in black robes looked terrified and roared, "I'll fight you to the death!"

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence. His aura surged dramatically, showing signs of breaking through to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm!

"Blood-Burning Secret Technique?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "Unfortunately, it's still not good enough!"

He no longer held back and summoned the "Purple Gold Gourd." With a sudden tremor, the gourd's mouth opened, unleashing a terrifying suction force that directly sucked the black-robed elder into the "Purple Gold Gourd"!

"No! Let me out!"

From within the "Purple Gold Gourd" came the old man's shrill screams, but soon, the "Samadhi True Fire" ignited, and the screams abruptly ceased.

"Who else wants to die?"

Li Yunjing put away the "Purple Gold Gourd" and coldly scanned his surroundings.

The sea was silent, and no one answered.

"Huh, what a bunch of trash!"

There were some people hiding in the shadows, which Li Yunjing discovered, but he didn't know their identities.

Li Yunjing was unwilling to waste time trying to figure out the origins of these Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, so he snorted and was about to continue on his way.

However, before they had flown thirty miles, Li Yunjing suddenly frowned, sensing a faint disturbance in the distant sea.

"Hmm? Killing intent?"

He flashed and instantly appeared fifty miles away, where he saw a black spirit boat fleeing rapidly. On the boat stood several cultivators whose auras were exactly the same as those of the people who had just intercepted him.

It turns out that these spies were divided into two groups.

One team launched a surprise attack, while the other provided support; the division of labor was clear.

This method is usually very effective against ordinary prey.

Unfortunately, they encountered a monster like Li Yunjing, who killed one of the spies almost in a single encounter.

While the second group hesitated, all three members of the first group were already eliminated.

Seeing such a terrible situation, how could the second group dare to come out and fight Li Yunjing head-on?

Running away became their only option!

Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Yunjing's spiritual power. His divine sense covered a large area and was extremely sensitive to killing intent, which is why he was able to lock onto the black spirit boat in the vast sea in an instant.

"Want to run?"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with killing intent. He raised his hand and pressed down, and the "Five Elements Divine Thunder" transformed into a hundred-foot-long thunder spear, which pierced through the air!

"boom!"

The lightning spear pierced through the spirit boat, instantly blasting it into pieces. The cultivators on board screamed in agony as they fled in all directions.

Everyone knew that there was no way to resist Li Yunjing!

The only option is to scatter and flee for your lives!

Let's see which one Li Yunjing chases after, giving the others a chance to survive!
"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! Wang Manzi and the others are all dead, and you still won't let me go? Do you really intend to slaughter them all?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had chosen a direction and was chasing after a thin man, the man turned pale with fright, spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately used the "Blood Escape Technique" to speed up his escape.

"Not bad, your 'Blood Escape Technique' is quite well-developed!"

With a loud "boom," Li Yunjing caught up using "Thunder Escape Technique," his cold words revealing his boundless killing intent.

How could you be so fast?

When the gaunt man saw that Li Yunjing was still following behind him, he was startled and roared in a shrill voice, "I, Di Junhao, will fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, he threw a series of throwing knives with his backhand!

"Hmph! Just you?"

Li Yunjing glanced at the man disdainfully, without changing direction at all. He simply waved his sleeve, and all the throwing knives were swept up and reflected towards Di Junhao.

"what……"

These throwing knives were all third-tier magic weapons; they returned faster and with greater force than when they came.

Di Junhao had just used the "Blood Escape Technique," and his aura was chaotic. He had no time to dodge, and three flying knives were stuck in his back.

Di Junhao's eyes were bloodshot. He turned around, brandishing his long sword wildly, ready to fight Li Yunjing to the death.

Since we can't escape, let's all perish together!
Even if we can't die together, we should still inflict some trauma on Li Yunjing!
"Pfft..."

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword cleaved down, the long blade flew away, and Di Junhao was directly split in two!

Li Yunjing glanced indifferently at the corpse, then collected the scattered spoils of war.

Several storage magic items, along with Di Junhao's magic items, were collected before his gaze turned to the other three directions.

Li Yunjing immediately identified the one who had escaped the furthest away!
"Boom!"

The "Lightning Release Technique" was activated once again, and Li Yunjing's figure left a trail of lightning in the air, like a bolt of lightning from the sky, streaking across the sky and appearing in front of that person!

"Do not……"

Before the man could react, he was cleaved in mid-air by a seven-colored divine light.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunjing unleashed the "Thunder Escape Technique" repeatedly, almost without any strain, completely merging with the power of thunder, and killed another person.

In just five or six breaths, Li Yunjing annihilated three Golden Core Realm experts without sustaining any damage or effort. This left the last one terrified, with no thought other than fleeing for his life.

"Still trying to escape?"

At this moment, the person had already escaped to a range of sixty miles, and Li Yunjing's divine sense could no longer lock onto him.

But this is no problem for Li Yunjing!
Knowing the general direction, a "Lightning Escape Technique" was used to reach the vicinity, and within Li Yunjing's spiritual sense range, the traces of the last enemy were once again discovered.

"Boom!"

The second "Lightning Escape Technique" immediately followed, and Li Yunjing had already caught up to the last person within three miles.

"How could you possibly keep using 'Lightning Release Technique'?"

Deng Zhe, standing ahead, trembled all over, his eyes wide open, and he turned back in terror to look at Li Yunjing, who was closing in step by step.

It should be noted that his team consisted of seven people.

They were all Golden Core cultivators, ranging from the second to the seventh level of the Golden Core realm, with various cultivation levels.

They were all cultivators from the East Sea, recruited by the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and hired at great expense to enter the sphere of influence of the "East Sea Alliance" specifically to assassinate cultivators of the "East Sea Alliance".

From the start of the operation, they had a smooth run, succeeding one after another and reaping a large sum of money.

Today, I met Li Yunjing, and I thought he was another big fish.

Who would have thought it was a real dragon!
The dragon that will take their lives!

Their second group's plan was very well-thought-out: if they couldn't win, they would scatter and escape. Even so, not a single one of them managed to escape!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if someone described it in the most eloquent way, he wouldn't have believed that there could be such a monstrous cultivator of the same level in the world!

Who is that cultivator from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
What level of cultivation does it represent?
Could it be the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm?
Or perhaps a half-step Nascent Soul expert who has already begun to comprehend the Nascent Soul realm?
He was truly desperate.

"Cough cough..."

Deng Zhe shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please spare my life in consideration of my difficult cultivation! I am willing to serve you as my servant for life!"

This man knew perfectly well that Li Yunjing was definitely a big shot in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". Today he had kicked a hornet's nest, and surrendering was the only way out!
"Then tell me about your background!"

Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he stopped the other party, asking coldly.

“My name is Deng Zhe. I come from ‘Silver Beach Sea’. I am a rogue cultivator who is employed by ‘Tianluo Dao Sect’ to form an action team and enter the ‘East Sea Alliance’s’ sphere of influence to carry out sabotage and assassination.”

Knowing he had no leverage, Deng Zhe could only honestly tell Li Yunjing all the relevant information.

His face was filled with fear; his life or death depended on this man's decision.

Li Yunjing's gaze softened slightly, finally learning in detail about the "Tianluo Dao Sect's" plan.

"Alright, you can go now in peace."

Li Yunjing flicked his finger, and a gust of wind shot towards Deng Zhe's brow.

"You dare to break the rules and try to kill me!"

Deng Zhe was shocked and immediately launched a counterattack!

Even if he can't win, he'll still give it his all; giving up isn't his style!

“If you hadn’t been tainted with the blood of your fellow disciples from the Shenxiao Dao Sect, I could have spared you once. But your group is filled with murderous intent; you must have killed members of my sect. So I can’t let you live.”

Li Yunjing said casually.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" unleashed nine consecutive strikes. Deng Zhe managed to block only three of them before his magic weapon was destroyed.

By the seventh sword strike, he was covered in wounds, looking like a blood-soaked figure.
