Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits -
Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Stay Behind
Zhao Yu had obtained a total of fifty-seven mid-grade Spirit Stones, one thousand and three hundred twenty-one low-grade Spirit Stones, a large number of talismans, one Second-Order Spirit Talisman, medicinal pills, Spiritual Medicines, materials for cultivating Evil Ghosts, various Spell scrolls, and a Second-Order Demon Beast Inner Pill with Earth Attribute from the disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.
However, among those Spell scrolls, there was nothing that particularly caught Zhao Yu's eye; they were mostly common spells, techniques from within the Yin Ghost Sect, and some Cultivation Techniques that could be practiced up to the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
The next day, inside the Ling family's library.
"The Ling family is truly worthy of being a Foundation Establishment family, indeed deeply rooted! Plenty of good stuff!"
Zhao Yu, holding a Second-Order Superior Life Extension Pill recipe and a Second-Order Low-grade Triple Snake Pattern Pill, showed a smile.
That Second-Order Superior Life Extension Pill recipe alone was worth a fortune, enough to make many Alchemists break their heads in competition. After all, it was a Lifespan Extension Pill that could extend the life of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
That Triple Snake Pattern Pill was a type of Spirit Pill that could refine the mana of Early Stage Foundation Building Cultivators, equally precious. A Triple Snake Pattern Pill that enhances the mana of Foundation Establishment Cultivators could easily fetch a price of over a thousand Spirit Stones at an auction.
In addition, Zhao Yu had also found a complete Array Path inheritance in the Ling family's collection that could be directly cultivated up to the Third-Order Low-grade level.
However, the path of Arrays was incredibly profound and complex, and this generation of the Ling family did not have a single Array Master.
Zhao Yu also took the opportunity to copy various Foundation Establishment Techniques, Body Refining Techniques entirely onto a jade slip, which left him quite satisfied, "Miss, it's time to go to the Ling family's treasure vault!"
Ling Qianxue led Zhao Yu to the treasure vault of the Ling family.
As expected of a Foundation Establishment family, so many treasures!
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, unapologetically taking a Fire Attribute Demon Beast Inner Pill in his hands, and then chose a Low-Grade Spiritual Shield and a Low-Grade Spiritual Magic Sword from the vault.
Ling Qianxue watched as Zhao Yu took the Fire Attribute Demon Beast Inner Pill, her eyebrows twitching slightly, yet she remained silent.
Magic Artifacts were used by Qi Refinement Cultivators, while Spiritual Artifacts were generally used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Enjoy new adventures at M V L
The power of Spiritual Artifacts was much greater than that of Magic Artifacts; however, wielding a Spiritual Artifact required Foundation Establishment level Divine Sense and mana, and if a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator were to wield a Spiritual Artifact, their Divine Sense and mana would be rapidly drained, making it difficult to apply in actual combat.
Zhao Yu then selected two Top-Grade Magical Artifact-level robes from the Ling family's treasure vault. These two robes, equipped with the Gathering Yuan Technique, Cleansing Technique, and Spiritual Shield Technique, were not only comfortable to wear but could also gather Spiritual Energy during Cultivation, accelerating the process.
Zhao Yu, having taken five Spirit Materials for Refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills, left the vault satisfied along with Ling Qianxue.
Zhao Yu said, "Miss, in ten days, I will leave Linghe Lake and the Jiu Chen Mountain Market. Please prepare early!"
The Ling family had been completely broken by the Yin Ghost Sect; it was already very difficult to defend Linghe Lake, let alone the Jiu Chen Mountain Market. Zhao Yu planned to leave this place, hide his identity, and go to other Spiritual Lands for Cultivation.
Ling Qianxue, with a pitiful look in her beautiful eyes, said, "Zhao Fellow Daoist, can't you stay? Our Ling family can appoint you as our patron! We can provide all the resources you need for your cultivation!"
The Ling family had first lost a Foundation Establishment Patriarch, then endured the great chaos of the Jiu Chen Mountain Market and attacks from the Yin Ghost Sect, leaving them severely weakened, with most of their family cultivators dead.
Currently, the highest Cultivation Level in the Ling family was Ling Qianxue's Qi Refinement Ninth Stage. It was already very difficult for her to defend Linghe Lake; a slight mishap could lead to the extinction of the Ling family.
Zhao Yu said, "I can earn the resources I need for my cultivation by myself!"
Ling Qianxue smiled sweetly, "Then today, let Qian Xue take you on a tour of Linghe Lake!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Good!"
Linghe Lake was a second-order inferior spiritual land. Under the meticulous care of the Ling family, lotuses grew everywhere, the lake water was clear, and the scenery was picturesque, a beauty to behold.
Ling Qianxue was beautiful and charming, understanding, knowledgeable, and witty, like a beautiful and charming speaking flower. Zhao Yu felt very comfortable with her, spending a very pleasant and relaxed day.
Late at night.
"Brother Zhao, are you there?"
Zhao Yu was sitting cross-legged on the bed, about to begin practicing his Wood Yuan Gong, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Zhao Yu opened the door and saw Ling Qianxue, wearing a white palace dress and delicate makeup, emitting a stunning charm, standing outside the door, smiling at him.
Ling Qianxue smiled coquettishly and asked, "Brother Zhao, may I come in?"
A warmth flickered in Zhao Yu's heart as he said, "Of course you can!"
Ling Qianxue entered the room, and the door closed.
From the next day on, Zhao Yu was with Ling Qianxue all the time, like the closest of lovers, never again mentioning leaving.
Initially, Zhao Yu had planned to leave, but how could he when Ling Qianxue was so beautiful, with a skin like jade and a gentle temperament, dissolving his thoughts of leaving.
Many cultivators in the Ling family's enforcement team saw this scene and felt heartbroken. Many of them had secretly fallen for Ling Qianxue, but knowing their own status was insufficient, they could only guard her from afar.
The usually well-behaved Li Xianjiao did throw a small tantrum, but after being lightly tapped on the head by Zhao Yu, she could only unhappily accept the reality.
With Zhao Yu, a fourth stage body refinement cultivator, stationed at Linghe Lake, the Ling family was as stable as Mount Tai, and many previously restless loose cultivators became honest.
Three days later, at a pavilion in the center of Linghe Lake.
Zhao Yu, dressed in a blue robe, held a cup of spiritual tea, leisurely savoring it.
"The two foundation establishment cultivators of the Lingxi Wang family betrayed Cang Ling Sect and colluded with the cultivators of the Yin Ghost Sect to kill two foundation establishment cultivators of the Cang Ling Sect.
However, a faux-Dan cultivator from the Cang Ling Sect, Master Bai Yu, coincidentally stumbled upon this incident and killed the two foundation establishment cultivators from the Lingxi Wang family."
"Cang Ling Sect has already issued orders for our Changyang Ling family, Fangling Hu family, Yuefeng Xiao family, and Qiyang Zheng family to join forces and attack the Lingxi Wang family! After eradicating the Lingxi Wang family, the spiritual land of the Wang family will be divided equally among our four families."
"The spiritual land of the Lingxi Wang family, Wolf Ridge, is a second-order superior spiritual land. If we can seize that land, my Ling family's foundation will be strengthened even further! Brother Yu, please come forth and help me, join me in wiping out the Lingxi Wang family!"
A hint of cold light flashed in Ling Qianxue's beautiful eyes as she pleaded softly.
With the hatred of her parents' deaths, unable to share the sky, Ling Qianxue was powerless against the Golden Core Sect, the Yin Ghost Sect, but she held extreme hatred towards the Lingxi Wang family that had colluded with the Yin Ghost Sect.
Li Xianjiao said cheerfully, "Sister Qianxue, the Lingxi Wang family is known as the number one foundation-establishing family in Cang Country, with profound depths. If the Wang family is still hiding a foundation-establishing cultivator, wouldn't we be walking into a trap by going there?"
Having followed Zhao Yu for several years, Li Xianjiao knew that Zhao Yu was always extremely cautious and would not easily take action unless he was completely sure.
