Chapter 2301: Leave No Stone Unturned
The girl called Tian Shimei, upon hearing this, replied somewhat shyly.
She looked harmless enough, but who could have imagined that the all-pervasive poisonous smoke from just moments ago was actually her concoction.
As for this, Xu Jie waved his hand without another word.
"One thing for another, this was agreed upon long ago; this time Tian Shimei contributed the most, so she ought to get an extra share."
"Yes, we have no objections either."
The other fellow disciples also nodded in agreement, having no objections at all.
This poisonous smoke indeed rendered great service.
No more idle talk; the crowd stepped forward and began searching in a practiced manner.
Moreover, they did not harm the lives of these few Immortal Clan Descendants; after all, they bore no grudge, and everyone was merely after an opportunity.
"Indeed there is."
With a startled cry, Xu Jie took out a greenish antiquated stone tablet from the Space Ring of the leading disciple.
Breaking open a Space Ring was nothing remarkable to the fellow disciples.
And this stone tablet is what everyone values most, and it is the most precious item within Immortal Peak Mountain.
Immortal Peak Mountain, as a cultivation Mi Jing, contains many training halls and caves suitable for Xiūliàn.
These training halls and caves are naturally formed and distributed throughout Immortal Peak Mountain.
However, to enter these training halls and caves, one needs this stone tablet in Xu Jie's hand.
Only by holding the stone tablet can one enter these training halls and caves to cultivate Xiūliàn.
Thus, what everyone cares most about is this stone tablet, and the fiercest competition is also over this stone tablet.
And just now, having entered Immortal Peak Mountain less than a day ago, everyone has already obtained a stone tablet—this is indeed good news.
Xu Jie examined the stone tablet carefully, then without hesitation tossed it over to Tian Shimei.
"Shī xiōng, this......................"
"This thing rightfully belongs to you."
Faced with Tian Shimei's alarm, Xu Jie said nonchalantly.
Although the stone tablet is precious, Xu Jie is confident that their haul this time will certainly be far more than this, and the stone tablet definitely won't be just this one piece.
So there's nothing to be reluctant about.
After stripping the Immortal Clan Descendants of all their valuables, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping and their group then swaggered away.
Miao Qianqian and Qi Xiong, who had secretly witnessed the whole process, wore expressions that were indescribably strange.
But this was obviously just the beginning; over the next two days, Xu Jie and his companions continually refreshed the two's understanding.
Although they only have Ancestor Realm cultivation, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping and their group, within Immortal Peak Mountain, can be described as crushing everything in their path, slaying gods who stand in their way and Buddhas who block them.
Poisoning, formations—these are all small-time stuff.
Yesterday, they unexpectedly encountered a group of rogue cultivators head-on; upon meeting, logically speaking, Xu Jie and his group should have been doomed, being no match at all.
But Xu Jie, relying solely on his tongue, being both fawning and offering treasures, actually managed to temporarily stabilize that group of rogue cultivators.
Not attacking Xu Jie and his group right away, the outcome was naturally predictable.
Originally intending to make Xu Jie and his group their lackeys, before they knew it, the rogue cultivators had been poisoned, and with a deadly poison at that.
"When..................."
It was when the poison took effect that these rogue cultivators didn't even know when they had been poisoned.
Xu Jie laughed at that.
"I've already smeared poison on your treasures."
"Then what about you...................."
"We've taken an antidote pill."
"You................"
Never would I have imagined that someone would actually apply poison to their own treasures.
That group of rogue cultivators died with their eyes open; a moment's carelessness cost them their lives.
In the end, it was Xu Jie and his group who had the last laugh.
Rogue cultivators are like this; even the Sect and Immortal Clan Descendants are no better.
Last night, a team of Sect disciples and a group of rogue cultivators erupted into fierce battle, while Xu Jie and the others sneaked over.
They secretly laid an illusory formation; in the end, both sides fell under its influence, and under its cover they fought each other to mutual destruction, after which Xu Jie and his group snatched the peach.
In just two days, Xu Jie and his companions' actions utterly surpassed the expectations of Tianlin and Miao Qianqian.
Damn, does this even need protection?
In these two days, when have Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping ever suffered a loss?
Let alone suffering a loss, their group has already reaped abundantly, earning a basin full of profit.
The heavenly treasures and earthly materials, the beast tribe ingredients, needless to say; just speaking of that stone tablet, Xu Jie and his group have already obtained five or more.
Even those immortal sects and Immortal Clan Descendants probably can't match up.
At this moment, late at night, Xu Jie and company were again distributing the spoils, while Miao Qianqian, hidden in the shadows, gave Ye Zhangqing a strange look and said.
"Are you sure they need protection?"
"One cannot be unprepared."
Ye Zhangqing replied in turn.
As for Miao Qianqian, she fell silent, thinking that Xu Jie and his group fundamentally don't need protection; with these methods, it's others who should be wary when encountering them.
Who knows when they might get stabbed.
Moreover, I've never seen anyone with such a wild approach.
"Are the methods of you Western Border cultivators that weird?"
Tianlin also said something with a strange expression.
Western Border cultivators mainly practice witchcraft, and witchcraft itself is extremely weird, making people unable to defend against it.
All along, when facing Western Border cultivators, everyone had to be extremely cautious, constantly on guard, because you never know when you might get hit.
But after seeing Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping's methods, Tianlin felt that Western Border witchcraft was nothing special.
Anyway, compared to Xu Jie and them, it feels like a minor witch seeing a great witch.
"Junior Sister, your Talisman Seal skills have improved nicely."
After dividing the treasures, Xu Jie turned to Lu Youyou beside him and smiled.
After arriving in the Immortal Realm, everyone naturally wasn't idle; besides their Xiūliàn, they also began to study various immortal arts.
Whether it was pill refining, weapon forging, Talisman Seal, or Formation, all the fellow disciples began to dabble in them, and their gains were not bad.
But this direction feels somewhat off, giving a strange feeling.
Hearing Xu Jie's words, Lu Youyou smiled faintly.
"Still far off, Shī xiōng; many ideas cannot be realized."
"Take it slow; there's no such thing as achieving success in one step."
"Now we also have five stone tablets; tomorrow let's go find the Dong Fu training ground, and let those with stone tablets start their Xiūliàn first."
Zhao Zhengping said solemnly.
He is considered the most upright among the fellow disciples, after all he has a visage full of righteousness.
The stone tablets must not be wasted; the earlier the Xiūliàn, the greater the harvest. Although currently not everyone can enter to cultivate, letting some people enter first is also a good option.
In response, the fellow disciples naturally had no objections, all nodding in agreement.
But just then, a beast's roar sounded, and immediately the ground shook violently, as if some huge creature were rushing rapidly toward them.
At the same time, it was accompanied by the auras of human cultivators; this sudden change also put the fellow disciples on instant alert.
Within this Immortal Peak Mountain, there can be no slack at all.
