In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Lu Yuan stood atop a treetop, his gaze fixed ahead.

Dozens of large and small iron-backed bulls were seen fighting against several men in black.

Although these men in black were mostly at the eighth-grade Flesh Refining Realm, they seemed to have failed to reach the Qi Realm. In a short time, they were unable to inflict fatal damage on these tough-skinned Ironback Bulls.

In fact, if they hadn't all cultivated movement techniques and were relatively fast, they probably would have been rammed through the heart by these iron-backed bulls and then trampled into mincemeat.

However, Lu Yuan soon discovered that these men in black did not seem to have come to poach these iron-backed bulls.

They were also holding small bottles, trying their best to throw them into the mouth of the Ironback Bull.

"Could it be that they're going to poison me?"

Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he pondered inwardly.

Whatever the reason these men in black poisoned Ironback Bull, they cannot let them succeed.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan swung out both hands simultaneously.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..."

In an instant, a series of throwing knives slashed through the air.

Almost simultaneously, all the throwing knives completely sank into the throats of these men in black.

Completely powerless to resist, they were all already lifeless.

Then, Lu Yuan used his whirlwind kick to quickly move the corpses of the men in black out.

"The Cult of Immortality!"

After examining them thoroughly, Lu Yuan found nothing of value on the men in black, but he did spot a familiar black lotus mark on the back of their necks, clearly indicating that they were remnants of the Longevity Sect.

"Did you kill all these men in black by yourself?"

Upon hearing the news, Chen Xiu and the others all looked at Lu Yuan with strange expressions.

"Hmm, they're probably all remnants of the Longevity Cult. It might not be just about poaching exotic beasts. And those bottles they brought, if I'm not mistaken, likely contain some kind of specially made poison!"

Lu Yuan nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Immediately, they opened the bottle and smelled it, then checked the back of the necks of the men in black.

"You few stay here and keep watch, I'm going back to the Martial Academy right away!"

After saying something to Lu Yuan and the others with a somewhat solemn expression, Chen Xiu turned around and left in a hurry.

"Lu Yuan, you're really lucky! You've only been here for half a month and you've already encountered such a good thing. You should get a lot of contribution rewards this time!"

The group looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of envy.

It's important to understand that these people have been at this breeding farm for anywhere from a few months to a year and a half, yet they almost never cause trouble and have virtually no opportunity to earn extra contributions.

As a result, Lu Yuan encountered such a good opportunity after only half a month of arriving.

The contributions of these few remnants of the Longevity Cult alone are probably considerable.

If we also take into account the rewards from the Martial Academy, Lu Yuan's contribution this time will probably be at least several thousand.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

Lu Yuan simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

He was naturally happy to earn a lot of extra contributions.

After all, the resources he needs for his cultivation will only increase in the future.

Furthermore, whether it's the Limit-Breaking Wind-Breaking Saber Technique, the Limit-Breaking Startling Wind Kick and Flying Knife Technique, or other techniques that haven't been truly started yet, they all require a large number of Yellow-grade or even Profound-grade techniques.

About two hours later, Chen Xiu finally returned.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who returned.

Besides him, there were several other teachers from the inner court, including Jiao Lü.

"Lu Yuan, was it you who discovered and killed these remnants of the Longevity Cult?"

Jiao Lu first examined the corpses of the men in black on the ground, then turned to Lu Yuan and asked.

"Yes, it's me!"

Lu Yuan nodded.

"You did well. These remnants of the Longevity Cult aren't here to poach the beasts; they're here to poison all the beasts we're raising!"

Jiao Lu's expression hardened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The poisons they brought were specially made; they are not only colorless and odorless, but they also won't cause any harm to the beasts!"

"However, if we eat the flesh of these strange beasts, at best our cultivation will be completely destroyed, and at worst we will die instantly. The consequences are unimaginable!"

Upon hearing Jiao Lu's words, Chen Xiu and the others couldn't help but change their expressions again.

Fortunately, the conspiracy of these remnants of the Longevity Cult failed; otherwise, they might have all become victims.

Lu Yuan himself couldn't help but feel a slight unease, only to realize that he was fortunate enough to be vigilant enough and to have decisively killed all the men in black.

Otherwise, regardless of what others might do, he himself might lose his cultivation or his life simply because he ate the poisonous meat of a strange beast.

These remnants of the Longevity Cult truly deserve to die!

Next, Jiao Lü, along with several inner court scholars, began to inspect all the strange beasts.

Lu Yuan, Chen Xiu, and the others had nothing to do, so after chatting briefly, they dispersed.

A few days later, Lu Yuan's reward for this time was also announced.

Not only did I directly gain 10,000 contribution points, but I also received a Crimson Sun Flower.

He guards the breeding farm, and although he can earn 100 yuan a day, he can only earn a maximum of 3,000 yuan a month.

Now I've directly received 10,000 contribution points, which is equivalent to more than three months' income.

And this Crimson Sun Flower is a true precious medicine.

When he advances to the sixth rank, he can greatly improve the efficiency of condensing the essence of fire.

With enough contributions, Lu Yuan could continue to efficiently maximize his cultivation progress.

Seemingly to prevent the Changsheng Sect from sending more experts, Jiao Lü did not return to the Martial Academy, clearly intending to remain there for an extended period.

In this way, Lu Yuan can more easily and steadily grind for skill points.

……

Deeper into the mountains, inside an extremely secluded underground cave.

"It failed?"

A man completely shrouded in a black cloak spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, we failed. The entire army was wiped out!"

Another middle-aged woman, who looked like an ordinary peasant woman, nodded with a rather unpleasant expression, then asked, "Master, should we send someone else to try again?"

"No need. We've already alerted them; there will definitely be experts from the martial arts academy stationed there. Sending more people would just be sending them to their deaths!"

The cloaked man shook his head directly.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?"

The middle-aged woman clenched her fists in resentment: "They killed my husband, I wish I could tear them to pieces!"

"Rest assured, the Holy Church never lets any enemy go unpunished. I have received word that a Dharma King will personally come from the headquarters. When that happens, they will all die!"

The cloaked man sneered.

"What... a Dharma King from the main headquarters will be coming in person?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face lit up with joy, but then she asked with some worry, "Won't this attract the attention of powerful figures from the Ziyang Sect?"

"The world has changed. The Ziyang Sect may not necessarily be our enemy now!"

The cloaked man simply smiled and said nothing more.

"Then I can't let them have it too easy these days!"

The middle-aged woman didn't ask any more questions and left in a hurry.

"Foolish woman!"
