Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Jiang Shi wanted to get closer to steal the magic, but he was blocked before he could get any closer.

Elder Wan of Biluo Valley flew over and blocked Jiang Shi's path.

"Junior Nephew Jiang, it's dangerous ahead, so don't go any closer." Elder Wan stared at Jiang Shi with great vigilance.

In Elder Wan's eyes, Jiang Shi's inexplicable appearance in the Canglin City Lord's Mansion and his acceptance as a personal disciple by Valley Master Hua were completely unknown, as were his origins, background, and sect.

This person is not loyal to Valley Master Hua. If he is allowed to go forward, it may be detrimental to the Valley Master.

"Elder Wan, I was just worried because Master was fighting two opponents alone. Since you're here, why don't we go forward together and help Master capture the enemy?"

Jiang Shi spoke to Elder Wan with an expression of utmost loyalty.

"No need! The Valley Master is rarely matched among the three major sects. Shangguan Shuo and Lu Chuanxuan are not qualified." Elder Wan said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi knew that it was impossible for him to steal the martial arts techniques today.

He couldn't possibly fight Elder Wan right now.

They could only stand there and wait for the battle to end.

And so, a day and a night passed.

At this moment, Shangguan Shuo and Lu Chuanxuan were no longer as confident as before.

They were already injured and their breathing was somewhat unsteady.

Even when Hua Luoyu was fighting two opponents of the same cultivation level, she still managed to gain the upper hand.

Shangguan Shuo's face was grim. He hovered in the air, surrounded by a fierce wind. He was no longer attacking, but defending.

Lu Chuanxuan was in an even worse state; his blue robe was tattered and he had many wounds on his body.

At this point in the battle, all three had stopped fighting.

Hua Luoyu was unharmed; she held a flower basket in her hand, filled with colorful flowers.

"Hua Luoyu! You only relied on a low-grade spiritual weapon today, which is nothing special."

Lu Chuanxuan was badly beaten. As the next leader of the Qingyun Sect, this was the first time he had ever lost so badly.

The flower basket in Hua Luoyu's hand was actually a low-grade spiritual artifact. Jiang Shi, who was far away, was shocked when he heard this.

This magical artifact is extremely rare; it's a sight to behold, and there are probably only a handful in the entire Canglin City.

Only the leaders of the three major sects have the ability to possess spiritual artifacts.

"Your strength is mediocre, but your tone is quite arrogant. If it weren't for giving face to that old bastard Lu Yuanxin, you would have been captured and drained dry by me long ago."

Hua Luoyu spoke very bluntly; the Lu Yuanxin she mentioned was none other than the current leader of the Qingyun Sect.

"You...!" Lu Chuanxuan was speechless after being rebuked, and could only turn and leave.

Originally, he had been testing Hua Luoyu today to find out her cultivation level and whether she was about to break through to the Golden Core stage.

The three major sects are currently in a state of equilibrium, but their Golden Core stage cultivator from the Qingyun Sect has gone missing.

If Biluo Valley were to gain another Golden Core cultivator, Qingyun Sect would face annihilation.

Now, Hua Luoyu didn't reveal her true strength in the battle, directly using a low-grade spiritual weapon to suppress the two.

Since we can't figure it out anyway, we might as well leave as soon as possible.

"Farewell!" After Lu Chuanxuan left, Shangguan Shuo naturally did not want to stay here any longer.

If we don't leave, are we just going to keep getting beaten up?

He rode the wind, turned around, and flew away.

After the two left, Elder Wan led Jiang Shifei to Hua Luoyu's side.

"Valley Master," Elder Wan said respectfully, bowing.

"Prepare to return home," Hua Luoyu nodded and gave the order.

"Yes, Valley Master!"

After hearing the instructions, Elder Wan used his spiritual sense to transmit the message outwards.

Before long, three Foundation Establishment stage elders from Biluo Valley flew over carrying a red sedan chair.

"How was it? Master is amazing, isn't he?" In front of Jiang Shi, Hua Luoyu reverted to her girlish demeanor.

"Master, you're amazing! You're so powerful, could you teach me some spells or divine skills? Or give me some high-grade magical artifacts for self-defense?"

Jiang Shi wondered if he could squeeze some money out of Hua Luoyu.

"Spells? Divine skills? Didn't you practice the 'Wood-Eating Divine Technique' of the Wood-Eating Cave?" Hua Luoyu approached Jiang Shi and whispered in his ear.

Jiang Shi knew he couldn't hide it from the other party; Hua Luoyu could even see through his "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

"I can't hide it from you, Master. It's just that cultivating this 'Wood Devouring Divine Technique' requires spirit wood. Master, could you...?"

"After you return, you can go and cut down the spirit trees yourself; there are plenty outside Biluo Valley."

Biluo Valley has a special spiritual wood field for its disciples to cultivate.

"However, if you make a mistake in your cultivation and end up like Chen Sisi, your master will have to expel you from the sect." Hua Luoyu stretched out her jade hand, gently pinched Jiang Shi's face, and said softly.

After speaking, he ignored Jiang Shi's reaction and got into the red sedan chair.

Hearing these words, which carried a hint of murderous intent, Jiang Shi couldn't help but shudder.

Once Jiang Shi was seated in the sedan chair, the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators lifted the chair and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of Biluo Valley.

After returning to Biluo Valley, Hua Luoyu left with the words, "Decipher the other two parts of the 'True Scripture of the Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source' as soon as possible," and then departed.

Jiang Shi looked at Hua Luoyu's back and pondered that Hua Luoyu's actions today were strange in every way.

She was far too familiar with the Misty Mansion, and in that graveyard, Hua Luoyu's state was completely off.

Besides Manager Lin, Hua Luoyu also has intricate connections with the Misty Mansion.

These people have too many secrets and are too dangerous; he doesn't have the power to overturn the table yet.

I still need to work harder to improve.

"Grandma Bamboo, where can we obtain spirit wood?" Jiang Shi asked.

As soon as they entered Biluo Valley, Granny Zhu appeared behind Jiang Shi, standing at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

After hearing Jiang Shi's words, Granny Zhu pointed towards the outside of the valley.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shi wasted no more time, took to the air, and flew in the direction indicated by Granny Zhu.

Soon, a stone wall outside the valley came into Jiang Shi's view.

According to Jiang Shi's spiritual sense, the wood element spiritual energy is the most abundant here.

The stone wall was covered with vines, densely packed together.

Jiang Shi arrived in front of the stone wall, and as soon as he landed, a dark shadow flashed past and attacked him.

Jiang Shi calmly reached out and firmly grasped the dark figure.

He looked at the writhing vine in his hand, which even stretched out sharp thorns, trying to pierce Jiang Shi's hand.

Jiang Shi was prepared; he had covered his hands with a layer of black soil.

This utilizes the low-grade Xuan-level magic technique, "Fire Generates Earth".

"This is a Bloodthirsty Vine." Jiang Shi thought for a moment and recognized the vine.

The Bloodthirsty Vine is a first-grade spiritual wood, and it is extremely dangerous.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator, they would be tightly bound by these vines and have their blood drained.

Normally only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could deal with these top-grade bloodthirsty vines covering the stone walls.

"This is enough!"
