Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

This spell is a mid-level spell. If it hits her squarely, Xu Qian'er will be seriously injured even if she doesn't die. In the upcoming sect war, serious injury means death.

Fang Chen was too far away to make a move.

At this critical moment, a yellow sword light slashed from the rear, striking the blue spell squarely.

It was Huang Yunjian Qinglan who made the move.

This shows that the rogue cultivators are quite vigilant. Zhou Qingqing only had time to warn them, while the rogue cultivator Qinglan had already taken action to defend.

"Who is it?" Wu Feng roared.

Just as they were about to venture into the mountains, a young cultivator with tattered clothes and disheveled hair suddenly rushed out of the dense forest. However, judging from his expensive attire, he seemed to be a member of a powerful family.

"You monsters, give me back my father's life!"

The cultivator appeared to be insane, wielding a mid-grade spiritual weapon, and slashed at the group.

However, the next moment, he was overwhelmed by the spells cast by the angry cultivators in front of him.

Some used talismans, some used spells, and some used spiritual artifacts. The cultivator's body was blasted high into the air by the spells, and by the time it fell back down, it was completely silent.

A cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining dared to challenge a team led by a cultivator at the late-stage of Qi Refining, and this was the outcome.

Danger comes suddenly and goes suddenly.

Everyone kept watch around, tightly protecting the terrified Xu Qian'er in the middle.

After confirming there was no danger, Wu Feng went to collect the spoils of war.

The cultivator was carrying a storage bag. After Wu Feng examined it, his expression changed, and he came to Fang Chen's side.

"Master, look."

"What?" Fang Chen asked in confusion. Wu Feng had seen a lot since following him. Could it be that this cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining was carrying some kind of treasure?

Fang Chen took the storage bag and examined it briefly.

Besides some common mid-tier items, they discovered a book inside.

Several large characters were written on it.

Liu's Explanation of Talismans.

"Another high-level talisman inheritance!" Fang Chen was shocked. How could a mid-level cultivator be carrying a high-level inheritance?

On second thought, it became clear that he was probably a young master from one of the Qi Refining families that had been breached. He barely escaped with the help of his family's arrangements, only to find that life in the mortal world was completely different from that in the spiritual land, which led him to contemplate suicide.

"Master, should we search the surrounding area?" Wu Feng suggested.

Although the inheritance is extremely valuable, a cultivation family may not only have this one book, but also things like spirit stones and treasures.

It's perfectly understandable to do a search.

Fang Chen glanced at the secluded forest, then turned and said, "No need. This inheritance is enough. Let's leave here quickly."

"Yes," Wu Feng obeyed and went to clear the way.

Fang Chen, on the other hand, looked in one direction as if taking a leisurely stroll. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at it, and then followed the group away.

The cultivator's arrival was too suspicious. It was easy to find a reason for him to die, but Fang Chen did not act that way. His eyes had been firmly locked on the cultivator for a long time. The reason why the other party was able to make a move was only because Fang Chen wanted to raise the team's vigilance.

But a strange glint was spotted in the shadows.

This cultivator was not actually insane in the dense forest, so why did he pretend to be like that after coming out?

Fang Chen's choice was not to investigate, but to leave directly.

In the dense forest in the direction Fang Chen had looked after leaving, an old man and a young girl were talking quietly.

The girl's eyes filled with tears. "Second Elder, my cousin is dead just like that?"

The old man also looked sorrowful. "Young Miss, there's nothing we can do. Our family is far too weak. Caught in the middle of the battle between the two major sects, the Spirit Eye Land has already been captured, and the family head and all the cultivators have perished."

If it weren't for the discovery of a gathering place for lightning scorpions, which they could then conceal using a unique method...

We probably can't protect it either, but the number of foreign cultivators is increasing.

They might accidentally find us here, and then we'll be discovered.

Qing'er's sacrifice drew their attention away, buying us some time. Young Miss, you have exceptional talent; you must persevere, cultivate diligently, and carry on the family tradition. Only then will you not disappoint the family's expectations.

"I see."

After listening to the old man's words, the girl held back her tears and nodded.

In the war between sects, the strong, such as sects, become the players, while the weak, such as small forces like Fang Chen, become the pawns. But the most tragic are the various immortal clans here, who become the chessboard.

In the time that followed, the group quickened their pace.

Fang Chen took a moment to quickly flip through the book of talisman inheritance.

This lineage is largely the same as the one left by my master.

However, the latter half of the talisman manual brought him three new talismans: a beginner-level fireball talisman, a mid-level communication talisman, and an advanced-level fire snake talisman.

The inheritance of this book of talisman interpretations is relatively systematic. The Fireball Talisman, the Explosive Talisman, and the Fire Serpent Talisman are all fire-type talismans, making them relatively easy to learn. I already have the Explosive Talisman, so I've already acquired the Fireball Talisman and the Fire Serpent Talisman.

The fireball talisman is the icing on the cake.

The Fire Serpent Talisman, a high-level offensive talisman, will be of great help to Fang Chen now.

This perfectly compensated for their lack of firepower.

As for communication talismans, their quality varies depending on the range. The initial-grade talismans have already been refined, and their transmission range is only a few hundred to a thousand meters. The mid-grade talismans, on the other hand, have a much larger range, extending to a radius of several tens of miles.

As for the higher-level communication talismans, they can cover up to a hundred miles and are also known as hundred-mile communication talismans.

This talisman is quite popular in the cultivation world.

It is considered one of the more practical talismans.

However, it is worth mentioning that the military merits obtained in exchange for this inheritance are very few. It is not that the inheritance is worthless, but that the sect will first compare the inherited secret techniques, cultivation methods and spells collected by the cultivators. Only those that the sect lacks will be accepted and given a large amount of military merits.

Popular talismans like these are usually already collected by most sects.

Such inheritances would require thousands or even tens of thousands of military merits to exchange for from a sect, but if they were offered to a sect...

The sect will only award a few military merits, which are almost negligible.

Fang Chen was still in a great mood, after all, his methods had become more diverse and his strength had been further enhanced.

However, the journey ahead shattered Fang Chen's good mood. If they encountered mid-level demonic beasts, the disciples could get through it with some training, but if they encountered high-level demonic beasts, Fang Chen would have to take action.

The most terrifying thing was that they also encountered a group of high-level demonic beasts.

In the end, Fang Chen displayed his extraordinary power and led the entire team out.

They escaped the pursuit of the monster horde, but this was also a disadvantage of marching alone.

Some weaker teams struggled to even deal with the monsters along their route. However, this was not the case when marching as a group. With tens of thousands of cultivators traveling together, even demon generals and demon kings at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation levels would have to give way.

Late on the second night, Fang Chen's team hurriedly arrived at the meeting point, Mengshi Mountain.
