Seeking immortality begins with daily intelligence reports.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of the formation, or perhaps it was the desperate struggle of the Azure Water Toad.

The water in the pool, along with the silt below, was stirred up, creating a small whirlpool.

Immediately, an extremely pure and bone-chilling cold air suddenly erupted from the center of the vortex!

Wherever the cold air passed, the pool water instantly froze into fine ice crystals.

Before long, a crystal-clear twin ice jade lotus appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone who was setting up the formation was taken aback.

Meanwhile, the Azure Toad, which was restrained by chains in the center of the formation and whose life force was about to die, suddenly roared and twisted its body wildly, as if a hidden treasure had been discovered.

Immediately afterwards, the pus bursting from the skin corroded the chains and array walls.

The toxic fog in the air is getting thicker.

The two Song family disciples, whose cultivation levels were not high, were clearly about to give way. Their arms trembled violently, their throats churned, and they spat out a mouthful of blood.

A fierce glint flashed in Song Changshan's eyes, and he flicked his hand, sending two crimson pills into the mouths of the two men.

The two, who were originally weak, suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy.

"Although the Blood Explosion Pill will damage one's foundation to some extent, we can't worry about that right now."

Song Changshan thought to himself, but couldn't hide the joy on his face:

"I never expected to encounter twin Ice Jade Lotuses! It's truly a blessing upon the Song family!"

When he was young, Song Changshan had seen this item at an auction organized by a Foundation Establishment cultivator organization in Linlang City, when he followed his elders who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in his clan.

He was deeply shocked that a single, three-hundred-year-old ice jade lotus was auctioned off for such an astronomical price after several Foundation Establishment stage seniors fought it out to the point of red faces.

Judging from its spiritual energy and form, the twin ice jade lotus in front of us is even better than the one I saw before, and it may be over five hundred years old.

Not only can the Ice Jade Lotus be used as the main ingredient to refine pills that help Foundation Establishment cultivators break through to the next level, but the Ice Jade Lotus that grows inside the lotus also has the effect of purifying the mind and dispelling delusions.

"If we offer this item to our ancestor, helping him advance his cultivation, then all those who have offended the Song family will face retribution! And I, as the greatest contributor, will achieve Foundation Establishment in the future..."

With this thought in mind, Song Changshan could no longer remain calm, and a chilling idea immediately arose in his mind.

Such information about the family's future must not be leaked... Young friend Li, I did intend to befriend you, but your attitude... I have no choice but to perish here.

With a resolute killing intent, Song Changshan subconsciously looked at Li Shen and loudly reminded him:

"Young friend Li, this beast is at his last gasp. Increase the pressure, and after it's done, the rewards will increase by another ten percent!"

"Rest assured, senior, I will do my best."

Li Shen's expression remained normal; he appeared to be giving it his all, showing no signs of distress.

Inwardly, he couldn't help but sneer:

Add another ten percent? That depends on whether I'm alive to take it. Although I don't know what these twin lotus blossoms are, they must be incredibly rare to excite Song Changshan, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. I'll take them first.

Having made up his mind, Li Shen immediately unleashed a blue spiritual light from his two fingers.

Suddenly, the soil beneath Song Ming, Song Mu, and two other members of the Song family became unstable, inexplicably crumbling and disintegrating.

Without hesitation, Li Shen used two Earth-Trapping Talismans to help Song Ming and Song Mu.

The four of them staggered, and the formation collapsed.

The backlash came one after another, and the four of them groaned in unison, their faces turning pale.

"What are you doing?!"

Song Ming pressed his hand to his chest, which was churning with blood and qi, both shocked and furious.

Li Shen remained silent, unleashing a flurry of ice spike and fireball talismans with a wave of his hand, while a golden shield protected his entire body.

The situation instantly descended into chaos under the sudden and fierce attack.

Li Shen took the opportunity to put Xiao Qi into the Biyu Pool.

The male and female members of the Song family had already exhausted most of their spiritual energy in maintaining the formation, and then suffered backlash damage. Before they could react, they were easily killed by Li Shen.

Seeing his companion die instantly, Song Ming felt a surge of fear rising within him amidst his anger.

Ignoring his injuries, he forcefully activated his spiritual power, trying to summon a magical artifact to protect himself. But suddenly, he was startled, as the oppressive feeling that only comes when one angers his uncle came rushing towards him.

By the time he came to his senses, five black throwing knives were less than an inch from his face.

"Pfft, pfft!"

It pierced through both the forehead and neck.

Song Ming's eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

"Ming'er! You brat, how dare you!"

Song Changshan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he slapped Li Shen with a palm, but missed.

The other party vanished like a ghost, even beyond the reach of divine sense.

The next moment, a foul stench swept over us as a thick snake tail swept across!

Song Changshan tried to block with both arms, but was slapped back several feet.

"Peak late-stage Tier 1?!"

The terrifying aura emanating from the giant snake set off alarm bells in his mind. He had never expected Li Shen to have such a powerful spirit pet; he had truly underestimated him.

His arm bones went numb, and he felt that there was something strange about the spirit pet in front of him, but before he could think about it, a ball of flame was already in front of him.

With a late-stage peak-level Soul Slave entangled with Song Changshan, he could focus on dealing with Song Mu, whose cultivation was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and whose status among the Song family disciples was not low and should not be underestimated.

Let's give it a try!

Li Shen's body became ethereal as he hid in a corner. His mind raced, and without hesitation, he threw out three mid-grade ice cone talismans. At the same time, he snapped his thumb and middle finger together, and a ball of cyan light condensed and shot out a moment later.

Suddenly, Song Mu's entire body was enveloped in a thick golden light, and the ice spikes that struck him shattered with a crackling sound.

While the Azure Light Technique is effective, it can only produce minute cracks.

Li Shen clicked his tongue inwardly, his figure appearing behind Song Mu, his eyes cold, surrounded by five black throwing knives with blood-stained blades.

Song Mu sensed Li Shen's location, his breathing became heavy, and the fear in his eyes had not subsided:

"You who killed a member of my Song family will surely die!"

Before he could finish speaking, the other person had once again completely disappeared from his sight.

As the son of the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Song family, he, a Foundation Establishment seedling of the Song family, had never encountered such a passive situation before.

The culprit behind this situation was merely a rogue cultivator.

Song Mu frantically scanned the area with his divine sense, burning with rage, yet utterly helpless.

He looked around, wary of any potential attack.

As my heart pounded like a drum, the exact same move as before attacked from behind, striking the golden shield like a moth drawn to a flame.

Even though the golden light shield had a few minor cracks, Song Mu smiled slightly upon seeing this, regaining some confidence as he said:

"If these are all the moves you have, you won't be able to break through my golden light shield."

After saying this, he took out a bell-shaped magical artifact and held it in his hand. Li Shen's figure appeared for only a few breaths before disappearing again.

At this moment, he had regained the composure befitting a disciple of a noble family:

"I just said that if the opponent has a stronger killing move, he will definitely use it. If he can break through my golden light shield, I can use the bronze bell in my hand to directly cripple his methods. If not, then this bell can control the opponent when he appears and kill him easily. In any case, he will die when he appears next time."
