A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

The blood-red needles moved extremely fast, reaching Chen Qingmo in just a few breaths.

But it was blocked by a thin protective layer, and the needle tip spun as if trying to pierce through.

Luo Hu unleashed his attack, but before he could generate any new power, he watched as the Yin Demon Thorn was blocked, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Chen Qingmo's expression was solemn; he remained focused and dared not relax.

With a "crack," the light shield of the Yin-Yang Protective Array showed cracks.

After all, it is a killing move from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Even if Luo Hu's cultivation level is somewhat inflated, the power of this move is still extremely strong.

Subsequently, the Yin Demon Thorn pierced through the formation and entered Chen Qingmo's sea of ​​consciousness.

The whole process was extremely fast; he didn't even have time to use the Xunfeng Talisman.

Fortunately, the power of the Yin Demon Thorn was almost completely reduced, and Chen Qingmo only dazed for a moment before regaining his senses.

He looked at the somewhat exhausted Luo Hu, and once again drew his sword to attack.

This time, the outcome of the fight was no longer in doubt. After an incense stick had burned, Luo Hu was killed by Xuan Qiu's sword through the heart.

Chen Qingmo arrived outside the stronghold and assisted everyone in killing all the cultivators of the Xuan Ying Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you!"

"Without your help, we don't know when we would have been able to rescue our family."

Kang Yin clasped his hands in thanks, his eyes brimming with tears.

For the past two months, his daughter has been calling out for her mother while sleeping, which is heartbreaking.

Now that the Xuan Ying Sect has been destroyed, these people can return to Cuiwu Town.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, this matter is not entirely over yet."

"It will take time to break the formation. You guys deal with these corpses, I'll go search the stronghold."

Chen Qingmo had just finished checking Luo Hu's storage bag and found no trace of the Demonic Path.

He suspected the items were still inside the stronghold and rushed to the lakeside cabin.

Chen Qingmo entered the room and saw a handwritten note left on the long table used for meetings.

The journal recorded that the Tranquil Spring could remove the blood evil energy, and he deduced that Luo Hu was practicing demonic arts and did not want anyone to notice, which is why he came to Cuiwu Town.

Apart from this, there is no other information in the journal.

He used his divine sense to scan the area and discovered a cubicle.

Inside the cubicle, there were cushions and an open book on the floor.

The cover prominently displays three large characters: Soul-Eating Technique!

The book contained the process of cultivating demonic arts, but Chen Qingmo was not interested in it and turned the pages to the next page.

On the way, he saw the Secret Technique Demon Thorn.

Although this method of attacking with divine sense is inferior, it is very effective against Qi Refining cultivators.

Not everyone possesses the Yin-Yang Protective Array like Chen Qingmo; most people can only rely on their own strength to withstand such attacks.

"Unfortunately, practicing secret techniques requires cultivating demonic arts, which is useless to me."

Chen Qingmo sighed, somewhat regretfully, as he lacked methods of attacking with his divine sense.

He continued flipping through the pages and finally found the information about the great formation of Cuiwu Town on the last few pages.

Spirit-Eroding Demon-Forging Array!

This is a large array formed by the Spirit-Eroding Bamboo, which usually takes two years to erode the spiritual power of the cultivators within it.

Moreover, those within the formation are often mentally unstable and will descend into madness once they leave the formation.

However, there is a method to accelerate the erosion process, which can shorten the entire process to six months.

The key lies in the fact that the planting of several of the Spirit-Eating Bamboo trees is supplemented with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts and the spiritual power of the demonic path.

Chen Qingmo only needs to find these few spirit-corroding bamboos and remove them, and breaking the formation will be much easier.

He burned the section on demonic cultivation techniques to ashes, leaving only a few pages on array formations.

There were no other treasures in the compartment; everything was in the people's storage bags.

Chen Qingmo walked out of the wooden house and gathered with Kang Yin and others.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you found a clue how to break the formation?"

Kang Yin and the others were somewhat nervous. As long as the great formation in Cuiwu Town existed, they would not be completely at ease.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, listen to me..."

Chen Qingmo explained to everyone the differences between the several Spirit-Eating Bamboos.

Cuiwu Town is not small, and it would take him a long time to search for it on his own.

Once Kang Yin and the others find it, he can then proceed to break the array base.

The group first went to the bamboo forest to pick up Kang Dandan and several cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, and then went to Cuiwu Town to break the formation.

After a long while, all the special spirit-corroding bamboos were found.

Chen Qingmo removed them one by one, expending a lot of spiritual energy.

The bloodthirsty aura within the bamboo was deeply hidden, but fortunately, the sword threads within his body were able to penetrate and remove it.

With the help of breaking the formation, Chen Qingmo's understanding of the Green Mountain Sword Technique deepened.

He sensed a breakthrough in his understanding of the illusions and could vaguely perceive the location of the array's core.

After recovering his spiritual power, Chen Qingmo went all out and spent a whole day completely removing the entire formation.

In an instant, the eerie feeling in Cuiwu Town vanished.

Suddenly, tender green bamboo shoots sprouted from the place where the Spirit-Eating Bamboo originally grew, replacing the original eerie purple color and appearing more vibrant.

In the nearest courtyard, the cultivator inside suddenly fainted.

A moment later, he slowly woke up, his eyes filled with confusion.

"My head hurts so much, and I feel like I've forgotten so many things."

"It feels like I've been living in a daze for months."

He got up and went outside, where he saw Kang Yin and the others.

"Brother Kang, you're back! Did you buy anything good at the market?"

His tone was excited, quite different from the previous two months.

Seeing this, Kang Yin understood that the town had returned to normal.

He gave the man a brief reply and then hurriedly led Kang Dandan to his home.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are welcome to come to my home for a chat later."

After taking a few steps, he turned back and called out.

Chen Qingmo nodded with a smile and began to inspect the town.

He used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, checking for any areas he might have missed.

The monks in the bamboo forest have all returned home to inquire about the health of their families, and most of them are fine.

Chen Qingmo arrived at Kang Yin's door and knocked. Kang Dandan came out to open the door.

"Uncle Chen, thank you for saving the town."

She smiled innocently and led Chen Qingmo into the house.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, how is your wife?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Chen. My wife's cultivation level has only decreased. She is currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining. She will recover completely in a few days."

Kang Yin's wife had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining before he left, but her strength was greatly reduced after being eroded by the Spirit-Eroding Bamboo for more than two months.

Fortunately, it didn't damage the foundation, and I was able to start cultivating again.

"In that case, I won't linger any longer. I need to go to the Tranquil Spring to cleanse myself. Farewell!"

After Chen Qingmo finished speaking, he was about to leave when Kang Yin called him back.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't be hasty!"

"I have heard a secret about the Tranquil Spring. You can go after you hear it."

Kang Yin hurriedly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Chen Qingmo didn't expect to gain anything extra.

Kang Yin escorted his wife back to her room to rest, and upon returning, he said to Chen Qingmo, "I only learned of this by chance; Fellow Daoist Chen, please discern the truth for yourselves."

He never entered the Tranquil Spring, and kept this secret in his heart.

"As Fellow Daoist Chen also knows, the Tranquility Spring has the effect of helping people calm their minds and concentrate their spirits. Most of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators outside the town come here for this reason."

"It is said that the effects of the Tranquil Spring are derived from a treasure, but no one has ever discovered it."

"And the secret I know mentions that there is a hidden entrance around the Tranquility Spring that leads directly to the bottom of the spring."

"Since my cultivation level is not high, I didn't intend to go treasure hunting."

"After all, you have to be able to protect your treasures."

Kang Yin chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Some time ago, something happened in Cuiwu Town, which is why fewer cultivators came here."

"Now that the matter is resolved, people will come again in a few months."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, take the treasure quietly and do not let anyone know that I leaked the information."

Chen Qingmo has already told everyone about the Xuan Ying Sect's notes.

Kang Yin originally lived in seclusion here with his family, but the Tranquil Spring attracted demonic forces, causing his wife to suffer.

Once Chen Qingmo takes the treasure, the Tranquil Spring's effects will disappear, its reputation will fade, and fewer people will come. After that, Cuiwu Town will be much safer.
