Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 96 The Seven Monsters of Qilian, Blood Infant Carp

"Stop!"

Yu Daoxuan intercepted the Cai family's fleet in Yiping by boat.

A middle-aged cultivator in brocade robes strode out from the main ship; he was an elder of the Cai family at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The elders of the Cai family immediately recognized Yu Daoxuan and Luo Cheng when they saw the Qingyuan Sect uniforms they were wearing.

He forced a polite smile, cupped his hands, and asked, "Greetings to the two envoys of the Qingyuan Sect. May I ask what brings you here?"

"By order of our sect to patrol the sea, we have recently learned that the demonic cultivators of the Blood Refining Hall have been causing trouble everywhere. The entire Nine Bend Bay area is under investigation. We would like to trouble Elder Cai to do us a favor and allow us to board the ship for inspection."

Yu Daoxuan said in a calm tone.

The Cai family elder's face darkened, and he protested, "I am terrified. My Yiping Cai family has always followed the rules and never done anything immoral. It is against the rules for the envoy to investigate so readily!"

Luo Cheng stepped forward and coldly declared, "In this sea area, my Qingyuan Sect is the rule."

"Quickly open the spirit ship's formation so we can go inside and investigate. If there are no problems, we two will naturally not do anything to frame you."

Since the Qingyuan Sect began its sea patrol a month ago, disciples of the sect have been extorting money from time to time under the guise of inspections.

The Cai family elders assumed that Yu Daoxuan and his companion were like that, and felt a surge of disdain in their hearts.

But thinking of the shady things on the ship, they could only swallow their anger.

He still smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellencies. I know the proper etiquette."

After speaking, he gave a word of instruction to the person behind him, and then flew down alone to a spot ten feet away from Yu Daoxuan.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, two jade boxes flew up and hovered in front of the two of them.

"Your Excellencies, our Cai family has always been honest and law-abiding. We wonder if you could show mercy and let us leave?"

"A few days ago, some regular customers ordered a batch of ritual implements from my home. The deadline is a bit tight, so this batch of ore needs to be delivered to our clan as soon as possible."

Yu Daoxuan thought to himself that the other party had a really good excuse.

Over the past month, he has become very familiar with the surrounding families.

I know that the Cai family has several first-tier weapon refiners, and the family's main business is weapon refining.

At this moment, Luo Cheng looked at Yu Daoxuan, implying whether or not they should accept the gift from the Cai family.

Yu Daoxuan then refused, saying, "We two are acting impartially and will not touch anything belonging to your family. Please, Elder Cai, take back the jade box and open the spirit ship's formation so we can go aboard and inspect it."

The elders of the Cai family were taken aback when they learned that Yu Daoxuan refused to accept the gift.

Could it be that I gathered the wrong information? Then wasn't He Jingxian's team just extorting benefits in disguise?

But seeing Yu Daoxuan's firm attitude, he knew he couldn't refuse, so he had to suppress his dissatisfaction and said, "Fine, you two can board the ship and inspect it."

He was extremely cautious. The dozens of boxes of Blood Infant Pills were placed in a hidden compartment in the deck of the spirit ship and sealed with specially made spiritual materials, so the other party should not be able to find them.

With that thought in mind, he activated the spirit ship formation.

Just as the opponent turned his back and opened the formation, Yu Daoxuan suddenly slapped his storage bag, and the Chongming Sword suddenly shot out, carrying the momentum of a raging sea of ​​fire, and directly slashed at the Cai family elder who was completely unprepared in front of him.

The Cai family elders were completely unprepared for the sudden attack and were terrified. They hastily summoned a small blue flag to protect themselves.

However, given the difference in their cultivation levels, how could a mere ordinary high-grade magic weapon withstand the sharpness of the Chongming Sword?

The sword light easily tore through the shield light, piercing through his chest with a single strike.

Blood gushed out, and the Cai family elder didn't even have time to scream before his life was instantly extinguished.

Luo Cheng and the Cai family cultivators on the ship were all dumbfounded, completely baffled as to why Yu Daoxuan would kill them without saying a word. Their expressions were full of astonishment.

Yu Daoxuan had no time to explain further, and secretly transmitted his voice to Luo Cheng: "Something's not right on the ship. There might be demonic cultivators from the Blood Refining Hall hiding there. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately released his magical artifact, focusing his attention on scanning every part of the cabin.

Almost the instant the words were spoken, three sharp black figures suddenly darted out from the depths of the cabin.

The three cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining immediately launched a killing move, intending to kill the two on the spot to silence them.

Yu Daoxuan unleashed the Chongming Sword once more, using offense as a form of defense.

The spells and magical artifacts of both sides collided and roared continuously.

Before long, several spirit ships sped in from the horizon.

The rest of the patrolling disciples rushed to the aid, led by He Jingxian, followed by seven or eight late-stage Qi Refining disciples.

One of the hostile cultivators sensed the arrival of He Jingxian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and panicked, wanting to flee.

Yu Daoxuan seized the opportunity, killed the opponent with a single sword strike, and seized the opponent's storage bag and dropped magical artifact.

The two opponents were outnumbered and, after several struggles and resistance, were both seriously injured and subdued and bound by the crowd.

As for the remaining Cai family cultivators, many were killed or injured, leaving only five or six survivors.

After dealing with the Cai family, He Jingxian turned to Yu Daoxuan and asked, "Junior Brother Yu, why did you take action?"

Yu Daoxuan succinctly recounted the process, only concealing the fact that the mouse was an ear mouse.

At this moment, Luo Cheng, following Yu Daoxuan's instructions, brought back a box of Blood Infant Pills. He Jingxian immediately sensed something was amiss upon seeing it.

He then took out a Heart-Questioning Talisman and stuck it on the forehead of one of the Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators, pressing him for the truth.

After a short while, the other party revealed all the inside information.

It turns out that the three of them were the fifth, sixth, and seventh of the Seven Monsters of Qilian.

Upon hearing the name of the Seven Freaks of Qilian, Yu Daoxuan understood.

This group was renowned in the Nanming Continent's independent cultivator circle. It was rumored that the leader of the Seven Monsters, "Sick Tiger" Helan Shao, had already reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the remaining six were all at the late stage of Qi Refining.

These are all old intelligence records from sect texts.

Several years have passed, and no one knows whether the other party's cultivation has improved further.

Then, it was revealed that the remaining four of the Seven Monsters of Qilian were currently on Fuchan Island, three hundred miles away.

The Seven Monsters recently discovered a Blood Infant Carp near Fuchan Island.

"Blood Infant Carp?!"

Upon hearing these three words, all the Qingyuan Sect members present showed expressions of astonishment.

This carp is a renowned treasure fish in the cultivation world. Swallowing it can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons, improving one's foundation and greatly benefiting breakthroughs. It is extremely rare and sought after.

To lure the Blood Infant Carp out, the Seven Monsters collaborated with the Cai family of Yiping, secretly stockpiling a large quantity of Blood Infant Pills to set a trap.

After hearing the whole story, He Jingxian's eyes immediately welled up with intense greed.

If one could acquire such a rare and precious treasure as the Blood Infant Carp, it would greatly benefit one's breakthrough.

He immediately made up his mind to lead a team to Fuchan Island to seize the treasure.

Yu Daoxuan spoke up when he saw that he had ordered everyone to go to Fuchan Island to kill the remaining four monsters.

"Senior Brother He, this matter is of great importance. In my opinion, we should first send a message to the sect. The other party wants the Blood Infant Carp and will not leave Fuchan Island in the short term."

"Moreover, the leader of the Seven Monsters of Qilian is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. After many years, his cultivation level is unknown. The other monsters may also have greatly increased their cultivation. If we, with our small patrol team, rashly go there, we may not be able to defeat them."

These words of advice only earned He Jingxian a disdainful sidelong glance.

"If Junior Brother Yu is too timid to go, then stay here and lead these Cai family cultivators. The rest of you, come with me to Fuchan Island."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jingxian waved his hand and led the seven or eight Qi Refining disciples who had just arrived to pilot the spirit ship at full speed towards Fuchan Island.

On the deck, only Yu Daoxuan, Luo Cheng, and the three fellow disciples surnamed Yu remained.

Luo Cheng looked around at the empty sea, then turned to the two men and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Yu, are we really not going to go and take a look?"

Yu Daoxuan shook his head slightly, showing no intention of moving.

A fellow disciple surnamed Yu calmly remarked, "What good would it do to go? All the benefits would go to He Jingxian. If we were to encounter a dangerous battle, we would be the ones to bear the brunt. It would be a losing proposition. We might as well not go."

After a moment's thought, Luo Cheng realized the logic in the story and immediately abandoned his plan to pursue the treasure.
