Chapter 81 Unboxing Blind Boxes (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Yuan Yao and the other two women quickly discovered the four people through their divine sense.

As a cultivator from Tiannan, and a high-level cultivator at the Core Formation stage, Su Wanhe naturally knew about the Thousand Bamboo Sect.

Therefore, as soon as she spotted the three men and one woman, her expression immediately became agitated.

With his eyes shining, he said, "Fellow Daoist Li, Sister Yuan Yao, this is wonderful! If I'm not mistaken, we've arrived in the far west."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao asked curiously, "Sister Su, what kind of place is this far west you're talking about?"

Su Wanhe replied, "This place is just a small cultivation world in the western corner of the Tiannan cultivation world. It is resource-poor and originally belonged to Tiannan. However, ten thousand years ago, a powerful figure mastered the puppet technique and took over the entire far west. He established a sect called Qianzhu Sect here, which has been passed down to this day."

"In that case, this place is not far from Sister Su's Luoyun Sect."

Su Wanhe nodded and continued, "It's not far, but it's still quite a distance. You have to cross the Hurricane Desert from the far west to reach Tiannan. My Luoyun Sect is located at the northernmost part of Tiannan, so it will take some time to get back. Fortunately, the journey is not too dangerous."

Yuan Yao replied, "Okay, that's good."

"Fellow Daoist Li, Sister Yuan Yao, you are unfamiliar with the place and people in Tiannan. Why not join my Luoyun Sect? My sect has a small reputation in the cultivation world of Tiannan. Before I was involved in the Yinming Land, there were two Nascent Soul elders in the front gate. They are also good at refining pills. It is a good place to go."

After a brief moment of excitement, Su Wanhe began to invite Li Shizhou and the other person to join her sect.

"No, I'm used to being free and easy. Yao'er and I joined the sect to seek protection. Now we just want to find a secluded place to cultivate."

Li Shizhou refused without hesitation.

In the original book, the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Falling Cloud Sect were indeed kind people, but that was because Old Demon Han was also a Nascent Soul cultivator with extraordinary supernatural abilities.

As a Core Formation cultivator, he possesses valuable treasures. If he goes there, he'll be at the mercy of others. Besides, he doesn't lack cultivation resources now. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible is the right path.

If I successfully condense my Nascent Soul in the future, I might consider joining the Falling Cloud Sect, since having a sect to help me collect treasures would be much more convenient.

Su Wanhe nodded upon hearing this, then turned to Yuan Yao and asked, "And what about you, Yuan Yao?"

Yuan Yao glanced at Li Shizhou beside her and replied softly, "Wherever my husband goes, I will go."

"Alright then, I'll return to the sect after I've refined the Qian Yuan Ning Ying Dew in a few days." Su Wanhe didn't try to persuade her any further after hearing this.

One day later.

The three of them landed in an inconspicuous little valley.

Li Shizhou originally wanted to find a place with earth fire for Su Wanhe to use for refining spiritual liquid.

But Su Wanhe said she had a formation and tools on her that could be used for temporary alchemy, without the need for earth fire.

So he chose this remote valley where spiritual energy was scarce.

After landing, Li Shizhou first set up several large-scale formations, which could be used for defense and to conceal his presence.

Then two smaller ones were set up, one for Su Wanhe to refine pills, and the other for himself to open storage bags and sort spiritual materials.

Su Wanhe was reasonable. After the formation was set up, she took Yuan Yao with her to refine the spiritual liquid.

He said he needed someone to help, but he probably just wanted Yuan Yao to be a supervisor because he was worried that Li Shizhou wouldn't trust him.

After everyone left, Li Shizhou, filled with excitement, began to open the storage bags one by one, like opening a blind box.

Each time he opened one, he would first use his magic to isolate it, while Ti Hun would stand by at all times to be vigilant, in case any cultivator's primordial spirit or something similar suddenly attacked.

After the inspection was completed, Li Shizhou arranged the items on the ground according to their categories.

After dismantling only about a hundred, he realized there were simply too many things, and the range of the array he had set up before was insufficient. Helpless, he had no choice but to set up an even larger one.

Once the contents of the more than 1,200 storage bags were sorted out, they filled an area more than ten feet wide and in all directions. Many sects' treasure troves might not even have this many items.

Based on what he retrieved, Li Shizhou estimated that the owner of the three storage bags was likely a Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are an estimated forty or so Core Formation cultivators, and the rest are mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This time, they obtained nearly three million spirit stones, including forty-seven high-grade spirit stones.

There were four jade bottles containing pills that could even enhance the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators. Unfortunately, the bottle with the most pills only had seven left, and the bottle with the fewest only had three left.

There are nearly a hundred bottles of pills that can enhance the cultivation level of Core Formation cultivators.

There were nearly five thousand other bottles of pills, including two bottles containing pills that could improve the aptitude of cultivators who had not yet formed their core.

There are a total of ninety-three magical treasures and ancient artifacts, and nearly six thousand magical implements of various levels.

There are thirteen talismans in total, each capable of unleashing power equivalent to the divine abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are 76 talismans and nearly 30,000 other talismans.

There are countless materials for refining weapons and alchemy.

There are more than 1,500 jade slips of various kinds, many of which record cultivation techniques and lineages.

There are more than 800 sets of various array-setting tools, three of which require considerable effort even for a Nascent Soul cultivator to break through.

There are eighteen jade eyes of varying sizes.

The rest were just some odds and ends, or things that Li Shizhou couldn't recognize for the time being.

These spiritual materials barely fit into eight large storage bags, even after some items of very low value were discarded.

Even if Li Shizhou were to reach the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Core Formation stage, he would not lack cultivation resources for a long time.

It's a pity that there's no Great Teleportation Order or Great Teleportation Talisman inside.

After emptying the contents of the storage bag, Li Shizhou had a comfortable sleep.

The next day, Su Wanhe and Yuan Yao appeared outside the array's light screen: "Fellow Daoist Li, I have successfully completed the refining of the Qian Yuan Condensing Infant Dew, and this refining process went very smoothly."

Li Shizhou activated the formation, allowing the two to enter.

After Su Wanhe entered, she handed over four jade bottles and said, "Half of the Qian Yuan Ning Ying Dew I refined this time is here. I divided it into four portions, enough for four attempts to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage."

Li Shizhou took the package, opened it, and examined it with his divine sense before saying, "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Su."

"No need to thank me. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Li, I was able to escape that awful place. I'm going back to Luoyun Sect now. We'll meet again someday."

"Sister Su, why don't you stay a few more days? There's no rush," Yuan Yao said from the side.

"No, I have been away from my clan for more than fifty years, and I am longing for my hometown."

"Then my husband and I will see you off," Li Shizhou said.

This time, Su Wanhe did not refuse.

Li Shizhou put away all the formations and saw Yuan Yao off for a thousand miles.

Before parting, Su Wanhe took out two jade pendants as tokens and made two copies of the map of the Tiannan cultivation world, giving them to Li Shizhou and Su Wanhe respectively, saying that if they wanted to join the Luoyun Sect in the future, they could go to the Yunmeng Mountain Range of Xi Kingdom to find her at any time.

After Su Wanhe's figure disappeared, Yuan Yao asked Li Shizhou, "Husband, where are we going now?"

"The Thousand Bamboo Sect".
