Chapter 206: Spirit Stone! Remnants! (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

Su Ping had always been very clear that he, a plain and unremarkable person, was able to reach his current state of ease and comfort.

It was entirely because he had gained the favor of the Fishing System.

Constantly fishing to raise his fishing level was his greatest proper path.

It was just that... without the guidance of a Fishing Compass, finding a new fishing spot was not much different from the probability of winning a grand prize in a lottery.

Su Ping had never given up on finding new fishing spots without relying on the Fishing Compass.

However, ever since he gained the favor of the Fishing System and subsequently obtained two First Tier fishing spots that were equivalent to beginner perks, aside from Xuangui Island, which truly had a unique location.

Su Ping had not been able to successfully replicate the path to find a second fishing spot.

Even while fleeing for his life, Su Ping had thrown his fishhook into many wild streams and pools.

It was not that he did not want to keep fishing to grind for experience, but he truly could not find any more fishing spots!

Su Ping would certainly not waste the fishing attempts that refreshed every week and every month.

But these fishing sessions had already become a fixed income for Su Ping's foundation of strength.

Beyond that, wanting to continue expanding his income within a certain period naturally became Su Ping's next main goal.

Previously, aside from cultivation and searching for rare treasures, Su Ping could not find a better way to achieve this goal.

But with this second use of the Spirit Light Misty Fish, he had learned the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array.

Combined with the previously obtained Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch Guardian Divine Soldier.

It allowed Su Ping to see the possibility of utilizing these high-power arrays that could be set up in advance, and then leapfrogging ranks to fight high-difficulty bosses to obtain a large amount of Fishing System resources ahead of schedule!

Before, Su Ping would only challenge the normal difficulty of the Abyss Challenge.

And he still had to choose the ones where the earth vein concentration was slightly lower.

After all, monsters at the Foundation Establishment Stage had already appeared in the normal difficulty Abyss.

According to the usual temperament of the Fishing System.

The second difficulty, Hard, should correspond to Third Tier monsters, which were equivalent to the Golden Core Realm.

The third difficulty, Extremely Difficult Challenge, would likely correspond to Fourth Tier... Nascent Soul Realm monsters.

The fourth and fifth difficulties... the current Su Ping did not even want to think about them.

But now, with the enhancement of these arrays.

To be safe, if he did not challenge the third difficulty, using a Fourth Tier array to surround and kill a Golden Core Realm monster of the second difficulty should be secure, right?

Once he succeeded in a leapfrog kill!

The Fishing Coins and Experience Books that dropped should at least be an order of magnitude higher than those from the normal difficulty, right?

And because of the existence of Abundant Spirit Water.

Fishing Coins could almost be equated to the thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year Spirit Herbs that were priceless in the Cultivation World!

And such Spirit Herbs, let alone refining them into pills, even eating them raw could make his cultivation speed skyrocket; combined with the cultivation environment of the Pot Heaven and the help of Purification Spirit Medicine to expel impurities that were difficult to absorb... would he not just take off directly?

It was just that wanting to set up arrays in the environment of Water Blue Star, especially large-scale Dharma Arrays, was difficult.

What was lacking... in the final analysis, was ordinary Spirit Stone, as well as the medium-grade and high-grade Spirit Stones that could serve as the core!

Su Ping made a trip back to Water Blue Star, first finishing the fishing attempts at the fishing spots there, and then took away the Sealed Dharma Artifacts that had been purified during this time.

Only then did he return to the Cultivation World, and while flying toward Nine Leaves Mountain, he calculated how to get his hands on a large amount of Spirit Stone in a short time.

Nine Leaves Mountain.

Thanks to the fact that the mountain-protecting array was still relatively intact.

The Market here was actually the fastest to recover its vitality among the surrounding areas.

Those low-to-mid-level Cultivators who had adventurously returned were clearly more willing to rest and trade in Nine Leaves Mountain, a place with basic Order, than to go elsewhere.

Manager Dongfang sat cross-legged on the balcony of the second floor of the office building, drinking the Spirit Incense Tea offered by his subordinates while looking at the Market below.

He only felt that his gamble on this move had been the right one.

Now, he was already the Great Manager of Nine Leaves Mountain. One person below, ten thousand above!

Even if his cultivation talent was insufficient, he could still accumulate enough resources to help those among his grandchildren who would surely have a Spirit Root, right?

Manager Dongfang and these bottom-level Cultivators clearly still thought that the difficulties were only temporary.

After the Evil Qi Tide passed, everything would return to normal.

And when that time came, these Cultivators who had seized the opportunity would be able to leave behind a great family in the Cultivation World, just like the founders of those great families in the past.

And let their own names become a name that every clansman would surely worship and chant every year.

"Hmm? Is someone causing trouble?"

Manager Dongfang was drinking tea and thinking about delicious food.

Suddenly, he sensed a fluctuation of Dharma Power through the Array Talisman.

Without a second word, he, who was already proficient in using the Array Talisman, immediately summoned a cloud of mist and rushed toward the scene.

It was a few family Cultivators who had banded together trying to forcibly seize items from a Loose Cultivator.

As a result, the Loose Cultivator knew the rules of Nine Leaves Mountain and firmly refused, immediately leading to a conflict.

The family Cultivators had just drawn their swords and released their Dharma Power pressure.

The cloud of mist struck, swept up the few troublemakers, and threw them into the prison.

In the prison, the few family Cultivators were dumbfounded; as long as they had lived, this was the first time they had been treated with justice by an outsider while bullying a Loose Cultivator.

"Did you not read the rules plaque of Nine Leaves Mountain when you entered the mountain?"

Inside the prison, a Cultivator who also came from a cultivation family looked at these people and shook his head slightly:

"When you are questioned later, honestly admit your mistake, pay a fine of Spirit Stone, and then go down the mountain."

"The rules of Nine Leaves Mountain?"

These few family Cultivators, who had only just reacted, were somewhat angry, and one of them, who looked imposing, even cursed:

"I come from an Immortal City, and my family has plenty of Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors. Release us quickly! Otherwise, you will have a hard time!"

"Isn't this Jiuye Mountain just a Loose Cultivator who just reached Foundation Establishment not long ago!"

"Hah!"

Seeing that the other party would not listen to reason, that Cultivator shook his head and began to handle the matter impartially.

Before long, the facts were clear, and these family Cultivators with poor attitudes were stripped of all their valuables because they did not have enough Spirit Stones in their Storage Bags.

After being forced to change into grey mortal robes, the few were kicked out of Nine Leaves Mountain.

By the way, they also took a seizure slip; as long as they returned with enough Spirit Stones, they could exchange them back for their seized Dharma Robes and Dharma Swords.

Manager Dongfang did not show his face, but he approved of this punishment.

As for the threats from those family Cultivators.

They did not take them to heart.

These old people who followed Baihe Zhenren.

Although they could not see through the Foundation Establishment cultivation base.

They had realized from the many times Baihe Zhenren had taken action during this period that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator they were following was likely not an ordinary one.

Thinking back to the attention paid to Baihe Zhenren by Xiao Mu Zhenren of the Artifact Heart Sect and others.

They all felt that they had grabbed onto a truly thick thigh this time!

And as for the one shouting about coming from some Immortal City.

Even if not a single word was a lie, at least some truth had been hidden.

There was likely a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor.

But whether his branch could summon them was a huge unknown.

After all, who among those truly favored would travel so far to this severely disaster-stricken Jinzi Domain?

Could it be that they really believed the rumors spread by those Side-Door Paths, saying that coming here to comprehend the sword Qi of Red Kite would give them a chance to be favored by Red Kite and become a closed-door disciple?

Furthermore, after coming into contact with the Array Talisman, Manager Dongfang was deeply shocked by the magic of the Nine Leaves Mountain Array.

He had been to the mountain-protecting array of the main family of the Dongfang clan.

In his view, there was almost no comparison between the two.

Su Ping arrived at Nine Leaves Mountain and happened to see this scene.

He had no opinion on the handling of these family Cultivators.

He even hoped that these juniors would really bring their elders over after being bullied.

It was just that judging by their discouraged and dejected momentum, they didn't look like they were going to find adults for help.

Su Ping looked at the business status of the Jiuye Mountain Market.

Afterwards, he contacted Xiao Mu Zhenren, who had already gone to help at the Immortal Palace of the Artifact Heart Sect.

That night.

Xiao Mu Zhenren flew to Nine Leaves Mountain and found Su Ping.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Mu Zhenren noticed that this time Su Ping did not use his Divine Sense to wrap his whole body, but instead openly revealed his own cultivation base.

Immediately, Xiao Mu Zhenren let out an 'eh', and after landing, he cupped his hands and congratulated him:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Daoist has actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage!"

"It truly makes me envious!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mu Zhenren felt that the Warding Evil Artifact in his sleeve was not acting abnormally.

It seemed this little brother had not used any Evil Art, and he could not help but feel relieved in his heart.

For the current Artifact Heart Sect, as long as they were not Evil Cultivators or of the Demonic Path, they were all allies that could be won over.

In Xiao Mu Zhenren's view, Baihe Zhenren must have obtained some opportunity in the previous great change, thereby managing to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.

This was also a good thing for him.

A Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage Cultivator friend who was also powerful in combat would undoubtedly be able to survive better in the current environment.

"The exchange meeting can naturally continue to be held; although some old members have left, quite a few new Foundation Establishment Cultivators have arrived."

"Our Artifact Heart Sect has suffered a loss this time; apart from guarding the earth vein Seal, all that's left is to explore that Secret Realm."

"All other spiritual lands and Spirit Mines can be shared with others."

"It can also be considered a way to attract many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from other regions to come and help."

Su Ping nodded upon hearing this, and then took out a Storage Bag.

Xiao Mu Zhenren smiled and took the Storage Bag, not thinking much of it at first, assuming it was something Baihe Zhenren had picked up along the way.

After his Divine Sense probed inside, Xiao Mu Zhenren was slightly stunned and looked deeply at Su Ping:

"Why are there so many mid and high-grade Dharma Artifacts!"

"Which cultivation family's base did you go to rob!"

Hearing this, Su Ping kept a straight face and said very seriously:

"I am a proper Cultivator, how could I go and rob someone else's family base!"

"I can guarantee that these Dharma Artifacts are all ownerless items I picked up from places where no one wanted them!"

Su Ping emphasized the word 'ownerless'.

Su Ping's words were not wrong; the Dharma Artifacts he found in the Storage Bags he picked up in the Secret Realm and those Forbidden Lands filled with Evil Qi were indeed ownerless.

Their original owners were either Evil Spirits or had already become food for Evil Spirits.

In any case, they counted as ownerless.

"Are you looking to trade goods for goods?"

Xiao Mu Zhenren nodded noncommittally and continued to inquire.

Su Ping shook his head slightly, and another Storage Bag appeared in his hand, but he did not give it to Xiao Mu Zhenren, only saying indifferently:

"I intend to exchange all of it for Spirit Stones."

"Recently, more and more small and medium-sized Secret Realms are becoming unstable, falling, and being exposed in the wild. I think the Cultivators from various families who have rushed over surely won't be stingy about spending Spirit Stones on life-saving Dharma Artifacts!"

"The faster they sell, the better; that way, I can also find more ownerless items here!"

Xiao Mu Zhenren looked at the Storage Bag Su Ping had taken out.

He had a feeling in his heart about whether the other party had found the ruins of some artifact-refining sect.

However, he still nodded and agreed.

Earning Spirit Stones—why worry about so much else?

As for swallowing it all alone, Xiao Mu Zhenren had no such thoughts after seeing that the other party was at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.

Not to mention that after arriving at Nine Leaves Mountain, he could vaguely sense that this mountain-protecting formation also posed a threat to him.

If he tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, and cut off this source of wealth, he would be the one suffering a huge loss!

And if he were to ask other senior brothers and sisters of the sect for help.

The lion's share would not fall to him.

After all, in the current Yunshan, he was no longer the Yunshan Deacon whose word was law.

He was merely an Inner Sect Disciple in a certain district of the Artifact Heart Sect's Immortal Palace.

Taking advantage of the fact that the situation is slightly stable now, earning more Spirit Stones to buy better Dharma Artifacts for protecting the Dao, or even Spirit Tools, is the right path!

Xiao Mu Zhenren, having gone through the incident with the Supreme Elder.

Already vaguely sensed it.

The current Cultivation World is probably not going to get any better!

If the earth vein Seal has problems next time, I'm afraid there won't be any Artifact Heart Sect left!

If one wants to survive and live a long time.

There is nothing more important than earning Spirit Stones and then buying Spirit Tools!

Anyway, the sources of these ownerless items during this period are truly varied.

He was just finding a good new owner for these ownerless items!

Su Ping handed the extra Dharma Artifacts in his hand to Xiao Mu Zhenren to handle.

However, this was obviously still not enough; it could only be considered one of the ways to earn Spirit Stones.

After sending Xiao Mu Zhenren away.

In order to obtain High-grade Spirit Stones and more Spirit Stones.

Su Ping once again set foot on the road to the Zhenshou Xiancheng.

This time, it was not just the region where the Zhenshou Xiancheng was located.

Even the Jinzi Domain had already turned the "ten thousand miles without human habitation" into reality.

He flew for a day.

Su Ping suddenly stopped at a cliffside.

The exterior of this bare mountain body seemed to have no abnormalities.

Yet Su Ping, having received the knowledge of the Blood God Sect, saw from several inadvertent man-made scratches on these cliffs.

That these were the marks of the Blood God Sect.

The most secretive sects often use the most primitive secret methods.

This was also a matter of necessity; the Blood God Sect, if not exactly shouted at by everyone, was at least like a street rat.

The high-level Cultivators of the righteous path active in this Central Region would certainly eliminate them on sight if they encountered them.

The Blood God Sect had no choice but to bring out the old, crude methods of the past to avoid their own secret techniques attracting a Great Ability because of their unique Incense Divine Power.

Su Ping recalled the knowledge in his memory.

He confirmed that the one who left the mark should be a Hall Master at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the team he led.

Su Ping immediately felt that he could once again eliminate harm for the people!

This time, Su Ping directly summoned Exorcist Mage Yunkong and Fire Knight Alwin.

His main body, however, hid deep underground.

The two Memory Illusions restrained their aura and walked quickly toward the destination.

That was a Great Canyon between the Jinzi Domain and the Mu Zi Yu.

In the past, it could be considered hidden deep in the forest.

Now, because the vegetation had all withered, it had become like a desolate mountain land on a plateau.

Hall Master Mo Tu of the Blood God Sect looked like a High Monk.

He was bald and draped in a dark golden Kasaya.

The disciples he brought were also dressed like monks.

Each one seemed even more like a monk than those disciples of the Small Golden Light Temple!

Hall Master Mo Tu had been a bit melancholy recently.

He was not very willing to leave Nanhuang and run to the Central Region.

In his view, although the environment in Nanhuang was harsh.

How could it be as dangerous as the Central Region?

There were simply too many high-level Great Cultivators here.

As a Hall Master of the Blood God Sect, he was truly terrified here!

However, ever since the Sect Leader suddenly went mad, shouting about the birth of the Blood God Holy Son, and then forced their various branch halls to rush to this region.

He felt that life had not gotten any better.

First, there was no way to find any trace of that so-called Holy Son.

It is said that this even caused two Elders within the sect to suffer heavy damage to their Divine Sense!

Then, they encountered the great upheaval of the Artifact Heart Sect.

Not only did Evil Qi erupt, but it also affected the Secret Realm that their Blood God Sect had quietly developed and used as a stronghold in the Central Region.

The space of the Secret Realm shattered, and they were exposed to the outside world.

Many disciples were invaded by the Evil Qi.

Fortunately, the Incense Divine Art of their Blood God Sect is considered profound, and with the help of the Blood God Divine Art, the losses were not great.

However... the subsequent strike by Chiyuan Xianren truly terrified them.

That sword, which even from afar could be felt to possess the intent to destroy heaven and earth, made them spontaneously stay far away from the region where Yunshan is located.

Even the Sect Leader and those few Elders calmed down and announced a policy of prioritizing survival, with searching for the Holy Son as a secondary goal.

Hall Master Mo Tu hid in this canyon and carved marks that only core disciples would know in the surroundings.

Relying on this, he also received several teams that had fled here.

And from their hands, he learned some intelligence.

Swish!

This Hall Master Mo Tu opened a large map, his gaze looking toward the islands overseas.

Compared to other Side-Door Paths, their Incense Divine Path requires more population.

Having rushed here this time, most of the believers had already been sacrificed to the Blood God in advance.

To continue successfully casting Blood God Secret Techniques.

It was time to replenish some sacrifices.

"My God is merciful."

"The Spirit Qi in these places is thin, so the possibility of encountering high-level Cultivators should be relatively low."

"If I leave immediately after taking action, I shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into trouble!"

Hall Master Mo Tu put away the map and looked at the camp in the canyon, intending to order them to prepare to leave this place.

He suddenly noticed a fiery red figure flying in from the sky.

First, he wondered which true disciple in the sect cultivated fire-attribute divine abilities,

But immediately, he realized the newcomer was hostile!

"Amitabha!"

"You little brats, get up and set up the formation!"

With a low shout, those bald men behind Hall Master Mo Tu all revealed fierce expressions.

As they stood up one by one, their monk robes fell off, revealing dark red Blood God tattoos on their shoulders and backs!

These tattoos began to glow one by one.

Suddenly, dark red ghost shadows emerged on their bodies.

Combined with the dark red ghost shadow that also emerged from Hall Master Mo Tu after he suddenly expanded in size to look like a big-bellied Arhat.

These ghost shadows condensed in the sky, transforming into a Ghost God with Three Heads and Six Arms that was about a hundred meters tall!

In the blink of an eye, in Su Ping's eyes.

These remnants of the Blood God Sect before him had gained an extra Foundation Establishment combat power after forming the array.

It is just that.

Looking at his own methods of restraining these Heavenly Demons and heretics.

Su Ping sighed and decided that this round was another guaranteed win!
