Chapter 39: Please Enter the Urn

Luo Yao and the other returned to Xuanyuan Sect, finally exhaling with relief; this trip to the Market, though dangerous and nearly costing their lives, yielded immense gains.

No wonder the Immortal Cultivation World says that secluded, arduous cultivation is not as good as venturing out to gain experience.

Come to think of it, during this outing, she even obtained a map to an Guxiushi Cave Abode; she wonders what treasures she might find within it.

What she lacks most right now is a Space Magic Treasure.

It is said that powerful Space Magic Treasures form their own space, allowing cultivation inside and even the planting of Spirit Herbs.

Moreover, thinking back to when enemies chased her and she had nowhere to flee, she could have simply hidden inside such a space.

Besides, when Luo Yao was at the Market, she already asked; low-grade Space Magic Treasures exist, but high-grade ones are extremely, extremely expensive.

"Yan Jie, you broke through?"

Luo Yao bought a bottle of Clear Spirit Pills, Hui Ling Pills, and others.

Manager He was initially angry at Luo Yao's pushy words, but upon hearing her content, he immediately continued swearing; after all, he truly had not set an ambush, he only genuinely wanted to understand the conflict with Luo Yao.

"Sigh, I signed up, yet they didn't select me."

Luo Yao hurriedly took Xiao Kui to find Manager He, somewhat surprised; only this short time had passed, yet Manager He already had a lead.

Speaking of Pills, Luo Yao took some Spirit Herbs from her Storage Bag, handed them to her, and then asked her to tell Xu Zhanglao that she intended to buy some Spirit Herbs.

Of course, Xuanyuan Sect might not necessarily lose.

However, she did not show it; instead, she sneered, "Just based on a piece of paper? How can I trust you..."

After all, once the war breaks out, she will have no chance to explore.

"Xiao Yao!"

Therefore, upon hearing that Ziguang Sect had dispatched Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to attack, she felt not worry, but excitement; this would mean the Sect would continue to recruit disciples to provide support.

Luo Yao took Xiao Kui and rushed toward her Cave Abode, only to receive a transmission from Manager He saying there was news about Star Frost Sand.

In this way, a great battle between the two factions had become unavoidable.

Of course, most importantly, she wanted to wait until her Golden Finger refreshed before using the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman.

"I heard those who went last time to protect the Spirit Stone Mine all struck it rich."

But Luo Yao believed it, because she knew of this Guxiushi Cave Abode.

After talking for a while longer, Luo Yao departed; only then did Fang Qingyan notice a girl had appeared beside Luo Yao.

"I am fine."

"Really!" Manager He handed over a simple map. "I obtained this from someone at great expense; it is said someone discovered Star Frost Sand inside."

Luo Yao did not return to her Cave Abode immediately; instead, she wandered leisurely within the Sect. On one hand, this was to let Xiao Kui enter everyone's sight, making everyone subconsciously believe Xiao Kui was also a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect.

She had just arrived when she happened to see Fang Qingyan walk out of the Alchemy Room.

Seeing Luo Yao, Fang Qingyan was instantly overjoyed, rushed over, and hugged Luo Yao tightly; although only a few days had passed, Fang Qingyan felt it had been a long time.

On the other hand, it was to listen to the latest information.

Therefore, naturally, she did not refuse Luo Yao's request.

"Rest assured, this time there should be a chance."

After all, it is said that many disciples over there have struck it rich.

Moreover, even if one waits until the war ends, if Xuanyuan Sect loses, then as a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect, even if one survives, one will surely be hunted down by the entire Ziguang Sect.

"I can swear..." Manager He gritted his teeth, spoke fiercely, and then swore an oath right before Luo Yao's eyes.

Xuanyuan Sect would naturally continue to send people to provide support, so these disciples were very expectant.

Xu Zhanglao, although eccentric in temperament, was not a fool; moreover, he knew Fang Qingyan and Luo Yao were together, which would benefit both Fang Qingyan's cultivation and her alchemy.

But Luo Yao was not that optimistic.

Fang Qingyan was startled, quickly stepped forward to touch Luo Yao, "Xiao Yao, are you not injured? Why didn't you call me to accompany you to the Market..."

Therefore, Luo Yao already believed with high probability that there was Star Frost Sand inside this Cave Abode.

If Xuanyuan Sect were annihilated, where would she go then?

Ziguang Sect dispatching Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators already demonstrated their attitude: they would not stop until they achieved their goal.

Thinking thus, Luo Yao had unknowingly arrived at Ju Dan Peak.

Moreover, the war had not yet erupted.

Fang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xiao Kui, "Thank you for saving Xiao Yao. In the future, if you need to buy Pills or need alchemy services, you can come find me; I will give you the best price."

Yesterday, within the Storage Bag she had snatched from those bandits, there was a map to this Cave Abode, with even more detailed information.

Fang Qingyan nodded, turned around, and led Luo Yao into the Alchemy Room.

The Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman was Luo Yao's only means of survival right now.

No one knew exactly how they struck it rich, but it was known that they did strike it rich, so those who had not yet gone were extremely envious.

Once the great battle begins, those below the Foundation Establishment Stage will all be cannon fodder.

…………

Luo Yao said no more, turned around, and took Xiao Kui away.

That Manager's face looked somewhat ugly; although what Luo Yao said made sense, the Manager had actually suspected it before, so after that person gave him the news, he had warned that person; that person swore there was absolutely Star Frost Sand inside.

This left Luo Yao, who had originally wanted to suppress him, speechless; furthermore, she said to him again, "Since you have sworn an oath, swear another one: if you set an ambush there, may heaven strike you with thunder."

"We must explore that Guxiushi Cave Abode before the war breaks out."

Fang Qingyan asked in confusion.

After all, unless he refines Pills for the Sect, he also refines for others, as long as materials are provided.

Getting back to the main point, Luo Yao planned to first break through to Qi Refining Stage 6 within the Sect before exploring the Guxiushi Cave Abode.

"Then I could also just find a piece of paper, write a name, mark a location, and that would also be a map to an Guxiushi Cave Abode."

Luo Yao took the map with half belief and half doubt, instantly becoming even more surprised; although this map was very crude, merely marking a single point and writing the four characters "Guxiushi Cave Abode," with information next to it regarding the distance from Xuanyuan Sect.

"That's right, Master went into closed-door training to give me special training, and now I can refine quite a few Pills."

Earlier, Fang Qingyan had thought she had also come to buy Pills, but unexpectedly she was actually together with Xiao Yao.

Luo Yao was extremely surprised. Fang Qingyan was now at Qi Refining Stage 5, the same cultivation as her, but Luo Yao was genuinely happy for her.

"Really?"

Moreover, delay breeds change; the longer it was dragged out, who knew whether the Guxiushi Cave Abode would be explored by someone else.

Although it was somewhat borrowing trouble from the future, Luo Yao tended to think far ahead when it came to matters, preparing for rain before it came.

……

"A few days ago, the Ziguang Sect sent Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to attack the Spirit Stone Mine. We will definitely send people to support it."

After staying for a while, Luo Yao had gathered quite a bit of information.

"Ah!"

Since half a month ago, when the Xuanyuan Sect discovered the Spirit Stone Mine, the Ziguang Sect had sent people to seize it, and the Xuanyuan Sect had also sent disciples to support it. But the Ziguang Sect clearly did not want to give up, and recently seemed to have sent Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to attack.

"She is……"

It was simply shabby beyond belief.

Therefore, she somewhat could not understand Fang Qingyan's behavior. After all, the one she had saved was her master, yet Fang Qingyan acted as if she had been the one saved.

Xiao Kui nodded. Although she was not much different from a human, in fact some emotions were absent in her.

"This is Xiao Kui. This time I went to the Market, and some accidents happened on the road. Thanks to Xiao Kui, I was saved."

After Luo Yao left, Fang Qingyan instead clenched her fists tightly and secretly made a resolution: No, she still had to work hard, continue to raise her strength, only this way could she protect Xiao Yao.

Moreover, only when one sect was wiped out could the war be ended.

And after they left, not far away, Zhao Yang's figure walked out from the shadows, a smile hanging on his face. "The fish has taken the bait."

The information about that Cave Abode was precisely what he had had someone deliver to Liu Guanshi, only waiting for Luo Yao to take the bait.
