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

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qingmo threw out a large pile of first-grade talismans.

The Blood Tiger is a second-tier demonic beast, but its aura is not as strong as that of the Carrying Tortoise.

Dozens of talismans should be able to hold it off for a few breaths.

Li Youchen would rather ask for help than use the Xunfeng Talisman, which must be because he has some concerns.

After thinking it through, Chen Qingmo was happy to do a favor.

The Blood Tiger's speed was indeed slowed down a bit due to the interference of the talisman.

Taking this opportunity, Li Youchen quickly swallowed a pill to restore his spiritual power and activated his flying sword with all his might.

After an incense stick had burned, the three escaped to the outer edge of the mountain range.

Just then, Blood Tiger stopped and paced back and forth at the border.

It glared fiercely at the group, its roars deafening.

"They survived!"

Li Youchen was panting heavily, his tone filled with relief at surviving a disaster.

The second-tier demonic beast was truly beyond his expectations. If it weren't for the complex terrain in the mountains, he and Tian Yun'er would have really died.

"There really are second-tier demonic beasts in the Three Realms Forbidden Land. I estimate that only the senior brothers can defeat them by working together."

Li Youchen murmured, still shaken.

Chen Qingmo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

The fact that the Qi Refining Grand Perfection experts of the Floating Cloud Sect could fight against a second-tier demonic beast when they worked together suggests that they possessed secret techniques or combined attack methods.

Presumably, the three major sects are in similar situations, each possessing their own trump cards.

When these Foundation Establishment families encounter second-tier demonic beasts, they can basically only run for their lives.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you saved my and my junior sister's lives. I, Li, will not go back on my word."

"This is a piece of news I found a few days ago, and I'm giving it to you as a way of repaying your kindness."

"Now that the matter is settled, fellow Daoist, you may do as you please. I will not bother you any longer."

Li Youchen tossed a jade slip to Chen Qingmo, then bowed and took his leave with Tian Yun'er.

"Senior brother, do you think that the events recorded on the jade slip are also protected by powerful demonic beasts, which is why you abandoned it?"

Tian Yun'er had also read the contents of the jade slip and knew its secrets.

"Whether it is or not, it is none of our business."

"It's just a new Crimson Origin Earth Vein. The jade slip records that it's not very large and not that important."

"Fellow Daoist Chen saved our lives; this opportunity is rightfully his."

Li Youchen couldn't see through Chen Qingmo, but he believed that Chen Qingmo had ways to protect himself and that he had a higher chance of surviving than the two of them.

He sighed, then continued, "Junior sister, I need to go into seclusion for a few days to try and break through."

"During this period, you will protect me and must not go out alone. After the success, I will take you to find my fellow disciples."

Tian Yun'er nodded gently. After this battle, her personality gradually changed.

After the two left, Chen Qingmo slowly began to read the jade slip.

The jade slip contained only one thing: the Crimson Origin Earth Vein.

He was aware of this; the earth veins contained heart flames that could refine a cultivator's spiritual power, thus increasing the number of Crimson Essence Pills that could be consumed.

The three sects and some powerful families all have information about the earth's veins.

Although the earth veins in the jade slip given by Li Youchen were small in scale, they were still invaluable.

Chen Qingmo hadn't thought about this at first; it would be difficult for a lone individual like him to obtain such information.

Now that the opportunity is before us, we must take the plunge, regardless of the dangers.

After examining the location of the earth's veins and comparing it with his own location, he sped off towards the southeast.

An hour later, Chen Qingmo arrived at the outside of a canyon.

This place looks no different from other places, but the location recorded on the jade slip is right here.

The canyon was deep and dark red, with no flowing lava.

Chen Qingmo entered, searching for the entrance to the earth's veins.

Before long, he discovered a building made of rock, which resembled a grand hall.

"Could this be the earth's ley lines?"

Chen Qingmo was somewhat puzzled, as the jade slip did not describe the appearance of the earth veins.

The only extraordinary thing here is the main hall in front of us.

He held the Hanging Autumn Sword in his hand, channeling his spiritual power behind him as he carefully observed his surroundings.

The main hall is very spacious, with corridors connecting each room.

To enter these rooms, you must pass through a corridor.

But many humanoid puppets roamed the corridor, moving back and forth without ever stepping outside.

Just as Chen Qingmo was considering how to make a move, another group of people entered through the entrance of the main hall.

There were men and women among them, and they were somewhat wary of each other.

"He is a cultivator from a Foundation Establishment family."

Chen Qingmo thought to himself, judging the origins of the people by their clothing.

"It seems there's more than one jade slip; I need to act quickly."

Although he ignored those people, he did not let his guard down.

"Brother Qi, there are quite a few rooms in this ley line. Shall we find a larger one together?"

One of the women spoke in a sweet voice, her eyes burning as she looked at the leader.

"Miss Liu, why don't you choose one?"

The man surnamed Qi grabbed the woman's hand and said with a playful tone.

"Let's go there. The room at the back of the hallway is the biggest."

As she spoke, she pointed to Chen Qingmo's vicinity.

"good!"

After finishing his sentence, the man surnamed Qi walked to Chen Qingmo's side and said, "Fellow Daoist, would you mind giving up this place for me...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Qingmo walked away on his own.

"Ha! You know what's good for you, no need for me to waste my breath."

The man surnamed Qi raised a smirk and beckoned the others over.

Chen Qingmo didn't want to get into a fight with these people. The rooms here were all the same, so it didn't matter which one she chose.

Moreover, the larger the house, the more puppets there are in the corridors.

Even if the other side attacks together, it will take some time.

As a solitary cultivator, he naturally prefers to do things in the most effortless way.

Chen Qingmo entered the corridor, where there were three puppets, each with a strength equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He didn't find it particularly difficult to deal with, and with the "Insightful" attribute in his sword technique, he could find their weaknesses. A moment later, all three puppets were destroyed.

At the same time, the entrance to the corridor behind them was protected by an energy shield.

"The earth's veins have this effect? ​​That's really impressive."

Chen Qingmo exclaimed in admiration.

In this way, even if other cultivators enter the main hall, they cannot choose his room.

Chen Qingmo opened the door and entered the room.

The room wasn't very big. Inside was a magic circle, and on top of the magic circle were meditation cushions for people to sit and cultivate.

On one side, a crimson puppet holding a halberd stood silently.

The puppets were similar to those in the corridor, but they were not activated, as if they were ownerless.

Chen Qingmo released his divine sense to probe the core of the puppet and learned its name and function.

The Fire Spirit Puppet can assist cultivators in fighting enemies, and its power is equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The halberd in his hand was a mid-grade magic weapon, which matched the puppet's own attributes.

In addition, the Fire Spirit Puppet can unleash some magical attacks, but it requires spirit stones to activate them.

Ten spirit stones could sustain him in battle for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a considerable amount of energy for Chen Qingmo.

However, the puppet has no sense of pain and will continue to fight until the spirit stones inside it are exhausted unless its core is damaged.

Chen Qingmo sensed it and found that the material used to create the puppet was extremely hard, much better than those in the corridor. It would be difficult for an ordinary Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator to break it.

Even if he were to do it himself, it would still take a considerable amount of time without damaging the core.

Once a cultivator controls the puppet, its core will not be easily damaged.

With this item, Chen Qingmo essentially had a Qi Refining Level 9 fighter, and one he was fearless of.

"This is a good thing. This is the first time I've ever owned a puppet. I can study this technique in the future."

Chen Qingmo happily put the puppet into his storage bag.

"I wonder what treasures are in the other rooms. Wouldn't it be even better if I could get them all?"

Upon realizing this, he immediately went outside.

However, the protective barrier of the corridor not only blocked the cultivators outside, but also stopped him.
