Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 52 Tribulation Cultivators and Sect Disciples

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Tian Feng came three times.

In addition to the two spiritual plants initially delivered, three more were subsequently sent.

The five spiritual plants brought Chen Ye an income of thirty-two spirit stones.

However, during their last meeting, Tian Feng looked troubled:
"The Jade Lizard Society has been on high alert lately, and the bad weather has made it difficult for them to move around."

The implication is that it will be difficult to find sick patients for Chen Ye to treat in the short term.

During the conversation, Chen Ye learned about the secrets of Donggou Valley.

It turns out that the demonic cultivator had been hiding in the East Valley, where he cultivated a large number of spiritual plants using evil methods, hoping to break through his cultivation level.

Unfortunately, their mission failed, and they were discovered by disciples of the Lingyin Sect, forcing them to flee in panic.

It left behind a large number of contaminated spiritual plants.

These spiritual plants are of no benefit to righteous cultivators; if they leave Donggou Valley, they will wither in no time.

But it would be a great pity to ignore it.

But Chen Ye's appearance turned these "chicken ribs" into "delicacies".

Chen Ye knew perfectly well that...

In the future, I'm afraid I'll never get the sickly seedlings from Donggou Valley again!

After the Nascent Soul True Monarch completed his tribulation, the world underwent a dramatic change, and the climate changed drastically.

Of those spiritual plants in Donggou Valley, less than one in ten survived this calamity!

This means that Chen Ye is about to lose an important source of income.

Fortunately, during these four days, he and the old man in black worked together to hunt down three monsters, reaping a great harvest.

Chen Ye only sold the materials from the monsters, keeping all the meat for himself.

Even so, it still sold for twenty spirit stones.

He now possesses eighty-one spirit stones!
……

Three thousand mountains.

In the cold wind, two figures walked one after the other through the deep snow towards the market.

The old man carried an iron-backed wild boar on his shoulder, while Chen Ye secretly made a Gengjin hand seal in his sleeve, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

"Brother Chen, this trip was a good one. This Ironback Boar weighs two hundred jin! It can sell for fifty spirit stones!"

The old man exhaled white breath, and blood and ice crystals still clung to his iron-backed fangs. There were six solidified blood holes in the black iron plate.

Chen Ye nodded, his face also showing joy.

This Ironback Pig is enough to double the family's monster meat reserves!
During this time, he stored up all the monster meat he had hunted in order to prepare for the coming winter.

"call out--"

In the gray sky, streaks of light often flash by.

This is a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying on a sword!
Chen Ye looked at it with a mixture of envy and nervousness:

"Dagen, why have Foundation Establishment cultivators been frequently seen flying on swords in the Three Thousand Mountains these past two days?"

The old man in black also stopped and sighed:

"These are mostly cultivators from the Lingyin Sect. In the Lingyin Sect, both inner and outer disciples undergo trials in the Three Thousand Mountains. Usually, the outer sect competition is held first, followed by the inner sect trials. However, due to the bad weather recently, the outer sect competition has been temporarily postponed. The inner sect trials, however, will proceed as scheduled."

Chen Ye understood.

Logically speaking, the number of outer disciples is far greater than that of inner disciples, but their strength is far inferior.

Considering the safety of its disciples, the Lingyin Sect did not allow its outer disciples to take any risks.

However, this will not hinder the training of inner disciples.

Moreover, inner disciples are often accompanied by their teachers, so even if they encounter a beast tide, they can escape unscathed.

"I never expected that this sect would care about the lives of its outer disciples."

Chen Ye was even more envious. This detail showed that the Lingyin Sect was quite humane.

The two were chatting casually.

Suddenly, Chen Ye's expression hardened.

A touch of Geng metal energy at the fingertip, instantly released from the fingertip!

Simultaneously,

A sudden chill ran down his spine, and he heard a deafening explosion that seemed to tear the air apart.

Suddenly, a small sword flew from the side, aiming straight for Chen Ye's back!

"clang!"

The metal vapor transformed into a stream of light, which collided with the small sword.

Xiao Jian's momentum was suddenly halted, and he staggered.

"Back!"

Behind the dead tree, a masked man looked surprised and raised his hand to call back Xiao Jian.

Behind Chen Ye, another tall, thin man stepped out.

This is the legendary Tribulation Cultivator! The old man in black was on high alert, his bones throbbing, and he said in a low voice, "These past few days in the mountains, we've been watched... but since they haven't succeeded yet, they might not continue to make a move."

Even those who undergo tribulation cultivation value life.

Unless blinded by greed, and the sneak attack fails, they may not continue to pursue the matter.

Otherwise, how would anyone know what cards the other side has up its sleeve?
The masked man at the head chuckled:
"It's freezing cold, and I also don't want to fight to the death with you, fellow Daoist. Perhaps..."

Before the words were finished,

A golden light suddenly shone from Chen Ye's fingertips, and three golden stars tore through the wind and snow, heading straight for his throat.

It moved with incredible speed and force, churning up the snow-covered ground!
"Wow--"

The masked man hastily made a hand seal, and the earthen wall was pierced as soon as it rose, splattering a spray of blood.

"Thud!" The man fell heavily to the ground.

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow: "You can launch a sneak attack... so can I."

What a fast spell!
Upon seeing this, the tall, thin man retreated abruptly, steeling his resolve, and suddenly pulled out a talisman.

The moment the yellow paper burned out, a wind blade slashed across the sky!
Chen Ye's expression changed slightly. He threw three golden stars in succession, but they only passed through his body in the wind blades!

"Brother Chen, be careful!"

The old black man bulged his muscles and roared as he hurled the carcass of the iron-backed pig.

It barely managed to block the wind blade.

The cyan wind blade sliced ​​through half of the iron-backed boar and vanished without a trace.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the tall, thin man retreated dozens of steps.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief...

Another shriek came from behind.

"Pfft!"

He stared blankly at the bloody hole in his chest.
Even on his deathbed, it was still unbelievable.

How could a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining possess such unpredictable and mysterious techniques?
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding in his chest:

"Unexpectedly, these two are so easily defeated."

The old man gave a bitter smile: "They didn't expect Brother Chen's skills to be so superb. Brother Chen killed these two people, so I won't interfere."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye remained silent.

First, we arrived near the first masked man.

Neither of them had high cultivation levels. The masked man who died first had a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The tall, thin man who died later had a cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining.

Chen Ye paused, then once again used his Geng metal energy to pierce through the man's crown chakra.

Only after his skull was pierced did she bend down and lift the man's mask.

Beneath the face mask was an unfamiliar, young face.

"So young, why become a Tribulation Cultivator..."

Chen Ye was quite surprised. The masked man looked to be only in his early twenties, yet he had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But on second thought, it seems perfectly reasonable.

It was probably because he was a traitor who plundered a large amount of resources that his cultivation progressed so rapidly.

Unfortunately, he was a bit immature and not nearly as cautious as the tall, thin guy.

He searched the masked man's body for a while.

From the corpse, they obtained the small sword that killed him, as well as fifteen spirit stones, a wind blade talisman, and a thin booklet.

"A technique to conceal one's aura?"

Chen Ye glanced through it roughly. This book of techniques was just another common item in the cultivation world, but its effects were special and suited Chen Ye's taste perfectly.

The masked man was able to hide among them in this way.

However, Chen Ye was greatly disappointed by the valuables on the tall, thin man's person.

There were only eight spirit stones and a low-grade first-tier dagger.

"Tsk tsk... They're really poor, no wonder they're so easy to kill."

Without hesitation, Chen Ye tossed the dagger to the old man in black.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took it: "Brother Chen, you can't do this!"

As he said this, the old man gripped the dagger tightly.

Chen Ye laughed and said, "Thanks to you, you helped me block that wind blade technique. Why can't I use it?"

This dagger is actually worth about ten spirit stones.

But the spoils still had to be divided, and besides, the old man had indeed helped him a lot.

"Not bad, such skillful use of the Geng Metal technique!"

On the tree.

A young girl with long, golden hair, who looked quite young, was tilting her chin up and looking down at the two of them.
