A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

This time she gained a lot, and she will be going into seclusion to cultivate with all her might for several years. With these resources, Su Chun should be able to shorten the time it takes to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage by a few more years.

However, the fact that two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had perished in Tianyao Ridge alarmed their master.

Ancient Sword Sect, Jade Sword Peak.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Senior Sister Zhao Fu has perished!"

The disciples guarding the Soul Lamp Pavilion came to report immediately, because Zhao Fu was Wang Qiong's official disciple, and the death of an official disciple was naturally no small matter.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiong frowned and gave the order without turning her head.

"Go and find out where Zhao Fu went and who she went out with."

The disciple nodded and quickly left.

It wasn't difficult to find out. Half an hour later, the disciple returned and reported to Wang Qiong that Zhao Fu had taken two early Foundation Establishment disciples and followed Sun Hao from Yunjian Peak and two other people to Tianyao Ridge.

"Could it be that they encountered a Core Formation demon beast or a Core Formation cultivator? Otherwise, with this setup, no one below the Core Formation stage should be in danger."

Wang Qiong felt that something was strange.

So she sent someone to investigate whether the four early Foundation Establishment cultivators who had gone out with them were dead, but the result surprised her: the soul lamps of the four were still intact.

That's really strange; it certainly wasn't an encounter with a powerful enemy.

As a Core Formation cultivator who had lived for over a hundred years, Wang Qiong analyzed the situation briefly and quickly grasped the gist of it.

Wang Qiong immediately went to Yunjian Peak in a menacing manner.

Meanwhile, Du Zheng, the master of Yunjian Peak, also received news of Sun Hao's death. Before he could investigate, he was confronted by the aggressive Wang Qiong.

"Du Zheng, you have to give me an explanation. What were your disciple Sun Hao doing at Tianyao Ridge with my disciple Zhao Fu? They even brought four early Foundation Establishment disciples with them. The funniest thing is that two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators died, while the four early Foundation Establishment disciples are still alive and well."

As soon as Wang Qiong arrived at Yunjian Peak, she barged into Du Zheng's residence without any politeness.

Du Zheng frowned when he saw Wang Qiong arrive.

“Junior Sister Wang, I just received a message from my disciples saying that Sun Hao is dead. Although I am heartbroken, people die every day in a place like Tianyao Ridge. Do you really need to come to me personally to demand an explanation? They are not children, and I am not their parents.”

Du Zheng's words are correct, and it's not an attempt to shirk responsibility.

"Think about it carefully. Four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators survived, but two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators died. Do you think that makes sense? I suspect they obtained some kind of opportunity, but it wasn't distributed fairly, so they were ambushed, right?"

Wang Qiong expressed her opinion.

Du Zheng looked speechless.

"But now my apprentice is dead too. It can't be that the two of them fought each other for the treasure, killing each other, and then someone else took advantage of the situation, can it?"

Their first thought was that it certainly wasn't the four surviving disciples who did it.

"I don't care. My apprentice was seduced by your apprentice. Now that something has happened, do you, as the master, dare to say you won't take any responsibility?"

Wang Qiong strode toward Du Zheng, clearly displeased, forcing Du Zheng to retreat repeatedly.

This Du Zheng is at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation, even more powerful than Wang Qiong, but when it comes to reasoning with women, men always suffer.

"Alright, alright, don't be so impulsive. If people didn't know you were cultivating a water-attribute technique, they'd think you were the Flame Sword Peak Master."

Du Zheng made a comment.

This is a complaint about Wang Qiong, who clearly specializes in water-attribute techniques and should be gentle and tender, but her fiery temper is no less than that of Mu Zhuohua from Yanjian Peak.

"You have three months to figure out the situation and give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, hmph! Even if I'm not as good as you, I, your junior brother, will still have to learn from you."

Wang Qiong suddenly turned around, snorted coldly, and left with a single sentence.

As soon as she left, Du Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Investigate? How can we investigate? Women are just unreasonable."

A few days later, the four early Foundation Establishment disciples who had teamed up with Zhao Fu and Sun Hao returned. As soon as they arrived, they were summoned by the Enforcement Hall for questioning.

The four were quite shocked to learn that Zhao Fu and Sun Hao were dead.

The four of them originally planned to come back and cause trouble, but now the trouble is gone, and instead, the four of them are in trouble.

So they honestly told the people in the Enforcement Hall what they knew.

Of course, they didn't say anything they shouldn't have.

The gist of it is that Sun Hao, Zhao Fu, and Wang Lingxiao got into a conflict over a treasure, which escalated into a fight. To avoid trouble, the four of them left without knowing what happened next.

When Wang Qiong heard Wang Lingxiao's name, she immediately became furious. She believed that Wang Lingxiao was the one who did it, because Wang Lingxiao was Mu Zhuohua's fourth disciple and one of the top combat power among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Ancient Sword Sect.

Because of this incident, Wang Qiong went to Yanjian Peak and fought with Mu Zhuohua again. Since the three of them fought, only Wang Lingxiao survived, so Du Zheng and Wang Qiong naturally believed that Wang Lingxiao was the one who did it.

However, since Wang Lingxiao has not returned and cannot be contacted at the moment, they cannot draw any conclusions.

But Wang Lingxiao is innocent.

This guy was injured by the two of them and is currently hiding somewhere in Tianyao Ridge to heal his wounds. He has no idea what happened next.

Time flies, and another three years have passed.

In the outer area of ​​Tianyao Ridge controlled by the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

There is a monks' trading market here.

A fiery red sword light accompanied by a female swordswoman in green descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the trading market.

The person who arrived was naturally Su Chun, but there were many other Foundation Establishment cultivators around her who had come to participate in the cultivator trade.

These people include cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths.

Su Chun had also recently emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did upon emerging was to find a place to clean himself of the dirt before preparing to return to the Ancient Sword Sect.

These stolen goods were naturally obtained by killing enemies or picking up corpses in Tianyao Ridge. Many of the magical artifacts and techniques had obvious sect characteristics and could not be used casually. Disposing of them was the best option.

Su Chun learned about the trading market of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance by chance; many cultivators came here to process the items they obtained in the Heavenly Demon Ridge.

Once inside, it was indeed filled with cultivators, and many of them were bargaining.

Su Chun glanced around and quickly spotted a shop called Wanbaoge.

"It's Wanbaoge again. This must be a branch, right?"

Su Chun went inside. This Wanbao Pavilion was much larger than the one she had visited when she first arrived in Xi Kingdom, and there were many more guests.

There were four nuns inside greeting guests.

The variety of treasures sold here is also greater than at the Wanbaoge last time. Not to mention top-grade magic artifacts, even magic treasures are displayed in the showcases, without any fear of being snatched away.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

One of the female cultivators from Wanbaoge spotted Su Chun and immediately stepped forward to inquire.

Su Chun immediately explained her purpose, and the female cultivator quickly led Su Chun to a private room to wait.

Soon, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.

The two sides began the transaction, and Su Chun took out all the things he didn't need, such as sect artifacts, cultivation techniques, and some rare and precious materials.

In the end, the transaction actually yielded nearly 200,000 spirit stones, mainly due to the high price of the Blood Grass.

After the transaction was completed, Su Chun naturally wanted to buy some things as well.

"By the way, does your shop sell Five Elements Spirit Crystals?"

Su Chun asked the beautiful woman a question.

The beautiful woman smiled when the Five Elements Spirit Crystals were mentioned.

"Of course we have them. May I ask what kind of spirit crystal you require, fellow Daoist?"

Su Chun answered without hesitation that there were three elements: metal, water, and earth.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly, asked Su Chun to wait a moment, and then left the private room. When she returned, she was carrying two boxes.

Upon opening the box, one finds a shimmering, thumb-sized golden crystal and a yellowish-brown crystal inside.

These two are the Gold Spirit Crystal and the Earth Spirit Crystal, but unfortunately, they are missing a Water Spirit Crystal.

"How much is two pieces?"

Su Chun asked happily.

The beautiful woman immediately quoted the price.

"A gold spirit crystal costs 20,000 spirit stones, and an earth spirit crystal costs 16,000 spirit stones."

The price was really high, but Su Chun bought it without hesitation.

Chapter 76 Returning to the Sect

Su Chun is currently only missing a Water Spirit Crystal.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, do you have any news about Water Spirit Crystals?"

Before leaving, Su Chun casually asked a question.

The beautiful woman first shook her head, then gave her a suggestion.

"If you still want water spirit crystals, you might as well wander around this trading market and ask around. Perhaps some cultivators have them."

Su Chun nodded and then walked out of the Wanbao Pavilion. The trading market was full of cultivators, and many of them were shouting loudly what they needed. As a result, cultivators who had these items would naturally go over to trade.

However, this time the situation is chaotic, and if you don't have some skills, you'll easily attract attention.

Therefore, most people either change their appearance or use magical artifacts to conceal their aura and true appearance.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chun also found a place to change her appearance. When she reappeared, she had transformed into a disciple of Hundred Flowers Valley.

After changing her appearance, Su Chun immediately found a place and started shouting loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, does anyone have any Water Spirit Crystals? If so, I am willing to exchange them for other items or buy them at a high price."

At first, no one responded to Su Chun's calls. It wasn't until Su Chun changed areas several times that a young man's questioning voice finally reached her ears.

"Do you have any Fire Spirit Crystals on you?"

Su Chun was startled and immediately looked in a certain direction. Upon looking, she saw a black-clad cultivator wearing a hood and mask.

Su Chun immediately nodded to him.

So the two went to a quiet corner of the market.
