Chapter 298: Seizing the Dao

If she could get a share of the struggle between Li Youyi and Wang Shu, then the resources for her to cultivate to the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, or even the fourth level, would probably be enough!

There was also that.

Yang Qingxi really wanted to defeat Wang Shu and receive all those who followed Wang Shu under her own command.

Although she was a Goddess, in the General Altar, she had almost no one to use, and her foundation was shallow.

Otherwise, how could she use Yang Yun?

At this time, news from the Spirit Valley Hall came.

"Two-star Spirit Reader? Fusang Divine Tree Spirit God? What a Li Youyi, his mental power talent is so remarkable, if you add those few strange insects, this battle will be worth fighting."

Yang Qingxi made a decisive decision and looked at Yang Yun: "Go to the Fourth Divine Son's mansion and relay Li Youyi's words to that Divine Son adult exactly as they are. Remember, it must be relayed in person."

"Ah?"

Yang Yun was stunned, feeling that his sister's face changed too quickly, could it be... there really was an affair?

Relaying it in person, he felt he would be beaten to death by the Fourth Divine Son.

Yang Yun's feeling was not wrong; Yang Qingxi's purpose was exactly this.

After all, to have a famous teacher, she could only make Yang Yun suffer first. Beating him to death was impossible, but a severe beating should be unavoidable.

Yang Yun, looking like a funeral, walked out of the Goddess Mansion.

Yang Qingxi returned to the cultivation room, opened a door leading underground, and walked into the dark and gloomy narrow space.

An alien coffin was placed in the center of the underground space.

The air was icy, making martial practitioners in the Dao Seed Realm feel bone-chilling.

Dark red blood mist constantly escaped from the coffin.

In the blood mist lay a woman who looked exactly like Yang Qingxi; it was Yang Qingchan.

At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, Yang Qingchan's corpse was collected by the Twin Rice Sect.

Yang Qingxi had planted a Departed Spirit Soul Seed received from the Heavenly Principle Hall in the corpse, and Yang Qingchan was now her soul servant.

In the coffin, Yang Qingchan opened her mouth, her tone the same as before: "Where are the high-grade blood crystals I need? And body-refining resources like Immortal Soil, Divine Stove Wood, etc.? This physical body is too weak and severely restricts my strength."

Yang Qingxi knew very well that the person lying in the coffin was no longer her younger sister, but a Departed Spirit strongman cultivated by the Divine Sect borrowing a shell. She said coldly: "If you want resources, you have to get them yourself."

Fourth Divine Son's Mansion.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were locked in an array on the stone wall, withered like firewood, without any of their former high spirits, and their blood loss was severe.

Wang Shu, in the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, sat cross-legged with his hands stretched straight forward.

From the palms of his hands, magic Qi and Dao Heart intent overflowed, twisting into roots, piercing into the ancestral fields of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, constantly absorbing the power of the Dragon Seed.

The Dao Seed was absorbed, and the double pain from the body and mind made the two scream, as if they were in hell, their whole bodies trembling, and finally they fainted from the pain.

"It's truly wonderful, worthy of being the Dao method insight of the ancient Son of Heaven. No wonder Yang Qingxi's cultivation speed is so fast."

"The Dragon Seed is indeed a treasure that defies heaven and changes fate! It's a pity it cannot be stripped from their bodies, and can only be absorbed in this way, which greatly limits the cultivation speed."

In the more than a month since Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were taken out of the Divine Prison, Wang Shu's cultivation had advanced greatly, surpassing the results of half a year of hard cultivation in the past.

"They cannot die; I must first absorb all the Dragon Seeds in their ancestral fields before they can die."

Wang Shu decided not to drink the blood in their bodies for the time being, to raise them well, and to impact the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm. Condensing the Dao Lotus was already just around the corner, and it would be successful within ten days. But this was far from the goal he was pursuing.

Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng, two true disciples of the Dao Seed Realm, walked quickly to the outside of the cultivation room.

They are already over fifty years old, but their cultivation base has remained stuck at the third heaven of the Dao Seed realm. They follow Wang Shu in hopes of obtaining the opportunity to condense a Dao Lotus and break through to the fourth heaven.

Ye Nanfeng said urgently, "Your Highness, the Son of God, something is terribly wrong. Li Youyi has been taken in as the eldest disciple by Venerable Nan."

Wang Shu did not open the door; at this critical moment of cultivation, he did not want any complications: "The puppet straw man I gave you actually failed the assassination?"

The one controlling the puppet straw man was Ye Beifeng.

He said, "Li Youyi's mental power cultivation has advanced greatly; he is already a two-star Spirit Mentalist. There is news that even Zuo Sheng was defeated by him and captured."

"Zuo Sheng has cultivated for a hundred years; how could he be such a failure?"

Wang Shu's good mood vanished instantly, and he felt he had lost all face. He began to think seriously: "Venerable Nan couldn't even capture a single Tang Wanzhou and nearly exposed the route into the main altar. Several Longevity realm giants in the sect are already dissatisfied with her, suspecting she did it on purpose."

"At a juncture like this, she still dares to take a Divine Hidden person from the Nine Li Hidden Gate as a disciple."

"Fine! For now, there is no need to pay her any mind. Once I condense my Dao Lotus, my strength and status within the sect will be vastly different. By then, I will have plenty of ways to deal with Venerable Nan's eldest disciple."

A core disciple arrived using movement techniques and reported: "Your Highness, the Son of God, Yang Yun, the younger brother of the Sixth Goddess, has come to pay a visit, saying he has a matter of utmost importance to report."

Yang Yun had no other choice.

If he didn't say it that way, he felt he would never be able to see the Fourth Son of God.

After a while.

"Boom!"

Yang Yun was struck so hard he shattered the gate and flew out of the Fourth Son of God's mansion, blood flowing from his mouth and nose as he tumbled out.

Yao Qingxuan discussed the situation outside with a prominent figure from the Spirit Grain Hall.

Li Youyi followed Elder Xu to collect the straw robe and life tablet of a true disciple.

Before condensing a Dao Lotus, the straw robe of a true disciple is embroidered with four spirit grains.

The number of spirit grains on one's person determines one's status, position, and degree of freedom within the main altar.

Those Sons and Goddesses, because of their peerless talent, have a very high probability of growing into Longevity realm giants, so their straw robes are embroidered with seven spirit grains, giving them a status higher than some elders, and they are permitted to view all kinds of legal codes and Daoist arts.

As for the life tablet, it is independent for every disciple, and one must drip a drop of blood into it.

Elder Xu explained: "True disciples can view all minor arts and some legal codes of the Spirit Grain Hall. You can freely enter and exit the cultivation areas of the twenty-eight Heavenly Law Earth Springs."

"As for the four great arts, you need to execute missions and perform meritorious service for the Divine Sect to accumulate enough merit points before you can view them."

"True Disciple Li is naturally different. You are Venerable Nan's eldest disciple and the most core insider of the Spirit Grain Hall. If you want to view anything, just let this old man know."

Li Youyi sighed inwardly at the omnipresent social sophistication and tactfully thanked him repeatedly.

"However, executing missions is an inescapable responsibility for true disciples. Every season, you must complete at least one mission."

Elder Xu reminded him, then led Li Youyi to the mission building of the Spirit Grain Hall.

"Guide outer sect disciples in cultivation for half a month, reward five hundred Spring Coins, or five hundred merit points."

"Cultivate one hundred acres of rice fields, reward one hundred Spring Coins, or one hundred merit points."

The positioning of the Spirit Grain Hall in the Twin Rice Sect is for teaching and nurturing, mainly responsible for training outer sect children and inner sect disciples. Once they become core disciples, those with high talent are almost all picked away by various parties.

"Spirit Grain" means seed, which dictates that most missions of the Spirit Grain Hall have low risk and low return.

Of course, there are exceptions.

"Intercept and kill Wu Xiu who break into the underground immortal mansion; kill a first heaven Dao Seed realm, reward one hundred thousand merit points. Capture alive for double!"

"Kill a second heaven Dao Seed realm, reward two hundred thousand merit points. Capture alive for double!"

Li Youyi's gaze fixed on this wall, a thousand thoughts surging in his heart, and he asked: "Can all true disciples accept interception missions?"

"That is natural!"

Elder Xu smiled and added: "Moreover, there are Holy Spirit Mentalists or Longevity realm giants accompanying you, so that true disciples don't make mistakes while executing missions and expose the main altar. So, there is risk, but it is not that high; it is a good opportunity for training."

Li Youyi saw some bounty missions for Wu Xiu with special identities.

Among them, Tang Wanzhou was prominently listed, with a reward reaching ten million merit points.

Merit points can be used as Spring Coins to exchange for various cultivation resources in the Spirit Grain Hall.

Li Youyi asked: "Are there no missions on the outside?"

"Outside? You mean the surface? There are some, but the Spirit Grain Hall has very few."

Elder Xu laughed: "If you want to execute missions on the outside, you must go to the World Hall. The World Hall is responsible for world affairs, and Venerable Nan is one of the five great Venerables of the World Hall, managing all affairs of the seven provinces in the Southern Border; the missions of the Southern Border are in her hands."

Li Youyi had no plans to execute missions for the time being, and under Elder Xu's guidance, he went to the resource treasury of the Spirit Grain Hall.

Familiarizing himself with the environment and learning the way in advance.

Arriving outside the resource treasury, Li Youyi asked the other Elder Xu guarding this place about the price of spring liquid.

The two Elder Xus were Rice Man brothers.

The Elder Xu guarding the resource treasury was much colder, with a completely different personality, looking all business: "One drop of spring liquid, seven merit points or ten Spring Coins."

Li Youyi took out bag after bag, some robbed from Yang Yun, some from Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi... all gathered together, totaling eighteen thousand Spring Coins, and bought eighteen thousand drops of spring liquid.

The gentle-natured Elder Xu laughed: "True Disciple Li is not simple! Those Sons and Goddesses, when they were in the Five Seas realm, rarely bought so much spring liquid at once. Their ancestral fields could only expand to twenty thousand square."

Li Youyi feigned a look of pain, then revealed a look of madness and persistence: "One must always strive; if one doesn't strive, how can one be content? Elder Xu, I have a Dao Lotus here that has finished releasing its magic Qi; how many Spring Coins can it be exchanged for?"

That cold-natured Elder Xu fetched the spring liquid and handed it to Li Youyi: "A Dao Lotus can be refined into Dao Lotus Pills, which are great medicines for Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu to improve their cultivation realm. The price of different grades of Dao Lotus is different."

Li Youyi took out the box containing the Dao Lotus and handed it over.

A Dao Lotus is such a supreme treasure, comparable to thousand-year essence medicine. Helping Five Seas realm Wu Xiu store Qi is only a tiny part of its value.

After inspecting it, Elder Xu said expressionlessly: "It is a Dao Lotus from a fourth heaven Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu, and it is only the lowest grade, a three-petaled Daoist flower lotus, which can be exchanged for one hundred and eighty thousand Spring Coins."

Beside him, the other Elder Xu whispered to Li Youyi: "The Spirit Grain Hall receives treasures at a much lower price; you can take it to the market town to sell, and you will sell it for at least twenty thousand more Spring Coins."

The cold-natured Elder Xu snorted: "If you aren't afraid of exposing your wealth, go ahead; who would dare leak information when selling in the Spirit Grain Hall? Besides, if you exchange resources for resources, there is also room for negotiation."

Li Youyi's heart stirred, and he asked: "Does the Spirit Grain Hall have fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone?"
