Chapter 71: Yan Taibai's Crow's Beak

Host: Yan Taibai

Gender: Male

Spirit Root: Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root

Age: Twelve years old

Status: Youth stage

Realm: Foundation Establishment Early Stage

【First Cultivation Simulation completed: Reward Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root】

【Second Cultivation Simulation completed: Reward: "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash"】

【Third Cultivation Simulation requirement: Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils. Progress value: 32/100. Additional divine ability: Sin Eye. Sin requirement: sixty】.

"I hope she can hold onto more Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators!"

Gazing at the rainbow-colored tail of light disappearing into the horizon, as well as his own Cultivation Simulation Panel, the corners of Yan Taibai's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.

He had wiped out five or six Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in one go, and the results were quite significant.

The progress value for 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】 had increased directly to thirty-two; a few more times and it would be nearly complete.

However, this was also akin to dancing on the edge of a blade; one careless move and his life could be lost.

Therefore, he had to be extremely careful!

But if Yan Taibai wanted to increase his progress value and obtain cultivation resources, he had no choice but to do this.

After all, it has been said since ancient times that murder and arson lead to golden belts!

Moreover, what he was doing wasn't murder and arson, but 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】, punishing evil and promoting good; it was a great deed.

Not to mention the Demonic Path cultivators, even among the Righteous Path cultivators, there were not many good people.

Good people do not live long in the cultivation world!

But right now, the most important thing was to improve his strength.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, shouldn't we be leaving? The formation has already been packed up."

Just as Yan Taibai was contemplating his next plan, Xin Ruyin's Master, who had finished packing up the formation, walked over, a look of lingering shock on his face.

Even though he had once been a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Yan Taibai's performance and the power of his divine abilities truly shocked him.

The formation he had set up, aside from serving to isolate the group from the Yin Yang Demon Sect, had no other effect; the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators of the Yin Yang Demon Sect within it, except for the one Yan Taibai had intentionally let go, had all been killed by Yan Taibai himself.

Each one was finished off in at most three strikes; their magical tools and talismans were of no use against the sword-dao divine ability Yan Taibai unleashed.

They were either torn apart or simply destroyed.

It was as if nothing could withstand it.

And he did not know that this was because Yan Taibai had infused a strand of "Geng Metal True Qi" into the top-tier magical tool flying sword in his hand.

Never mind magical tools, if Yan Taibai used enough "Geng Metal True Qi," even a Dharma Treasure could not withstand it.

It was just that Yan Taibai could not bear to be so wasteful right now, so he had only used one strand of "Geng Metal True Qi" this time, suffering no great loss.

"It is indeed time to leave."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai nodded and stopped overthinking, directly taking out a spirit boat magical tool, and then carried Xin Ruyin's Master as they flew off in the direction of Yue Country.

Then, after handing control of the spirit boat to Xin Ruyin's Master, he began to organize the spoils of war from this encounter.

Magical Tools:

Ten intact top-tier magical tools.

Seven damaged top-tier magical tools.

Forty-five high-tier magical tools.

One hundred and twenty-five mid-tier magical tools.

Spirit Stones:

Thirty-two Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, thirteen thousand Low-tier Spirit Stones.

Talismans:

Intermediate Talismans: twelve.

Primary High-tier Talismans: sixty-three.

Primary Intermediate Grade Talismans: two hundred and thirty-six.

Primary Lower Grade Talismans: four hundred and ninety-two.

Materials: two pieces of Iron Essence. Three pieces of Mica Stone...

This haul was worth as much as twenty thousand Spirit Stones; they were indeed disciples of the Yin Yang Demon Sect, their net worth was truly wealthy.

After giving Xin Ruyin's Master his share, the majority of the rest belonged to Yan Taibai.

After putting away the useful items, Yan Taibai planned to exchange everything else for Intermediate Metal-Attribute Spirit Stones.

This was the most important thing for him.

And these items could not flow into Yuanwu Country, otherwise, an investigation would lead right to his tracks, and he did not want Yan Taibai to be exposed too much just yet.

Because the time was not yet right, and it would give people the feeling that it was done on purpose.

Therefore, he handled some of them in a few obscure markets in Yue Country.

However, these were only high-tier and low-tier magical tools, as well as materials he had no use for. As for the top-tier magical tools, he kept them all; he never knew when he might need them.

Moreover, these top-tier magical tools were too iconic and not suitable for sale in exchange for Spirit Stones.

After dealing with these spoils of war, Yan Taibai returned to the Yanyue Sect with Xin Ruyin's Master.

Thus, Yan Taibai had obtained a windfall this time!

"Finally willing to come back?"

Although she understood Yan Taibai's intentions, upon seeing Yan Taibai return, Nangong Wan still could not help but tease him with a few words of dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, it's just that I missed you, Senior Sister!"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai chuckled with a rather ingratiating tone and said.

In order to leave Nangong Wan's cave dwelling, he had to tell Nangong Wan about the possibility of the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects invading various countries in ten years, along with the Righteous Alliance of Fengdu Kingdom.

Although Nangong Wan felt shocked, she still chose to believe him.

Of course, Yan Taibai also told Nangong Wan a portion of his plan to deal with the Ghost Spirit Sect, mainly to ensure his own safety and that of Yan Ruyan.

Although Nangong Wan did not quite approve of this, she also knew it was the best method.

Not everyone in the Yanyue Sect was willing to risk offending the Ghost Spirit Sect to protect Yan Taibai, Yan Ruyan, and the Yan Family.

To be precise, they still wanted everything the Yan Family Ancestor had gifted to Yan Taibai from the Yan Family.

As long as Yan Taibai and Yan Ruyan were not dead, these businesses, mineral veins, and medicinal gardens all belonged to the two of them.

They only had the right to manage them and receive dividends; as for the ownership rights, they naturally belonged to Yan Taibai and Yan Ruyan.

This was the thousand-year foundation of Yan Family Fortress! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be tempted; if it were not truly impossible to take away, the Yan Family Ancestor would never have gifted it to Yan Taibai and Yan Ruyan.

Of course, there was also the fact that among the Mortals of Yan Family Fortress, some had appeared with Spirit Roots again, and their aptitude was quite good.

Nangong Wan had already arranged for trusted people to go and guide their cultivation.

In this way, Yan Family Fortress would be able to have more immortal cultivators in the future.

With this, they would also be able to gradually take back the industries of Yan Family Fortress.

And how could the various immortal cultivation families and forces of the Yanyue Sect allow such a thing to happen?

But Nangong Wan had intervened, so even if they did not allow it, they had to hold their noses and accept it.

"Smooth-tongued; save those words for Ruyan in the future! She still doesn't know about the matters of Yan Family Fortress and has been cultivating in Junior Sister Nishang's cave dwelling all this time."

"However, she will know about this sooner or later; I estimate it cannot be hidden for long. When do you intend to tell her?"

"As for asking Master to take action, I feel it is unnecessary; after all, the situation at Yan Family Fortress has not yet become as serious as we predicted."

Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at Yan Taibai and said again.

"Wait until she leaves seclusion and wants to go back to the Yan Family to take a look. It won't be too late to tell her then."

After listening to Nangong Wan's words, Yan Taibai pondered for a moment, the smile on his face vanished, and he said in a deep voice.

After all, Yan Ruyan's age was truly not great right now; if he told her now, it would indeed be somewhat inappropriate.

As soon as the words fell, a streak of firelight rushed into the cave dwelling, headed straight for the main hall, and circled in the air above.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and with a strange expression, she raised her eyes to look at Yan Taibai before taking it into her hand to examine it.

After a moment, once she finished checking it, her expression became even stranger.

"What is it, has something happened?"

Seeing Nangong Wan with such an expression, Yan Taibai frowned and asked with unease in his heart.

"Ruyan wants to return to the Yan Family, and Junior Sister Nishang has brought her here."

Nangong Wan said with an exceptionally strange expression.
