Conflict
Yang Tianyou and his Spirit Beasts were fishing here.
Led by Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang, along with Fourth Sister Yang Tianxue and Fifteenth Brother Yang Tianwang, and carrying a small number of disciple tokens, they used the unique talent of the Giant Mountain Earth Vein Rock Rhinoceros to search for various mineral veins.
The Earth Vein Rock Rhino is a variant of the Savage Beast, the Blue-Eyed Moon-Gazing Rhino, and is born with the special ability to Detection the Earth Veins.
It was this big guy who found the Spirit Stone Vein on Bianhe Mountain back then.
The discovery of many Mineral Deposits by the Yang Household in Dragon Valley County also owes much to Giant Mountain.
Thanks to the superior talent of his Spirit Beast, Fifteenth Brother Yang Tianwang has accumulated a considerable number of Contribution Points over the years.
As a result, he, who originally broke through to the Foundation Establishment relatively late, is now showing signs of surpassing others.
By exchanging Contribution Points for various Cultivation Resources, coupled with the generous stipend from his Lineage, Yang Tianwang has now reached the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.
Two days later, under Giant Mountain's guidance, Yang Tianwang and the others found a total of three mineral veins.
One Second-Rank Low-Grade Spirit Gold vein, and two First-Tier Superior-Grade veins.
These two First-Tier mines are a Spirit Gold and a Spirit Material mine called Crimson Gangstone, which is very suitable as the main material for large-scale buildings.
Due to the time constraints, the Yang Household Member did not use protective mining methods and opted for violent mining.
First, Law Artifact to chop the ore vein in half, then extracted the most valuable Mineral Deposits from its core.
They then packed the large chunks of raw ore into Storage Bags and took them away, while the more scattered Mineral Deposits were left in the vein.
They don't have time right now, and there are too many mineral veins waiting to be mined in this Secret Realm. Putting all their eggs in one basket is the most unwise choice.
The group acquired various Mineral Deposits worth 30,000 Spirit Stones from three mineral veins. In addition, the spoils obtained from killing some cultivators who came to them were worth another 10,000 to 20,000 Spirit Stones.
In just two days, the two groups from the Yang Household had already amassed seventy to eighty thousand Spirit Stones. Such an astonishing speed of making money could only happen in the current Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm.
On the fifth day, Yang Tianwang and his group, who were Mineral Deposits the fourth mine, encountered cultivators from the Goldwater Sect.
The latter group consisted of five Foundation Establishment, who appeared to be divided into different teams and acting separately.
Among these five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the leader possessed the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation and had cultivated an Earth-Attribute Spirit Eye.
Using this eye technique, the cultivator discovered the hidden giant mountain underground and recognized it as a giant mountain vein rock rhinoceros.
Greed followed, and the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection demanded that the Yang Household Member hand over the Giant Mountain. Yang Tianwang and the others naturally refused, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
Yang Tiankang, the leader, was extremely decisive. Seeing that his side was in a weak position, he resolutely decided to activate the Great White Blade Formation Talisman, which was his trump card.
In an instant, the three Great White Blade Formation Talisman were activated by the powerful Spiritual Power unleashed from the burning of their Essence Blood by Yang Tianxue, Yang Tianwang, and Yang Xuanwu.
The crisscrossing white-gold longswords, drawing upon the flowing light of countless stars and carrying incomparably sharp Geng Metal Qi, surrounded the five Goldwater Sect cultivators in a mighty and unstoppable manner.
The 108 long swords, in a way, vaguely formed some kind of mysterious formation.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the five Foundation Establishment from the Goldwater Sect, two were killed on the spot, while the remaining three survived thanks to defensive magical Law Artifacts and Talisman.
The three were furious and enraged, yet also terrified, fearing that the Yang Household Member would throw out a few more Great White Blade Formation Talisman. For a moment, they dared not give chase.
After launching the attack, all the Yang Household Members, except for Yang Tiankang who did not use Talisman, were exhausted.
His Spiritual Power was reduced to only 30%, his meridians ached slightly, and his body was noticeably shriveled from burning his Essence Blood.
The Great White Blade Formation Talisman is a top-grade Tier 2 Supreme-Grade. To unleash its full power, one needs at least the robust Spiritual Power of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer as support.
However, these Yang Household Members were all at the early to mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, so they could only rely on temporarily burning their Essence Blood to try their luck once.
Fortunately, it was this ruthlessness and decisiveness that frightened the remaining Foundation Establishment of the Goldwater Sect, buying them precious time to retreat.
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Yang Tiankang pulled the others onto the back of the Giant Mountain and disappeared into the earth.
A few breaths later, the Foundation Establishment from the Goldwater Sect realized what was happening, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
But it's too late to catch up now.
With a dark expression, he turned and returned to the temporary residence of the Goldwater Sect cultivators, reporting the previous situation to the team leader Shangguan Hong.
After hearing her junior brother's words, Shangguan Hong's face darkened as well. She berated him harshly, then, with a fierce expression, sent out men to locate the Yang Household Member.
Since they've become enemies, they might as well wipe out the entire Yang Household Member. This Shangguan Hong is a ruthless person indeed.
Moreover, he had his own considerations; among the Golden Core Forces, the Purple Moon Yang Household was the weakest.
Not only were there no cultivators at the False Core stage, but the Yang Household also possessed an Elder Token.
This token was something Shangguan Hong coveted, and she wanted to snatch it.
As for Yang Tianyou's threat, Shangguan Hong remained noncommittal.
He didn't believe the rumors that this Great White Blade could defeat False Core; he only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivation, False Core combat power?
Shangguan Hong simply didn't believe it!
Even among the Seven Heroes of Luochuan, few could rival False Core Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer. How could a mere newly Golden Core Household achieve such a feat? Are you kidding me!
The barriers of ingrained thinking can sometimes be very difficult to overcome.
Even if Yang Tianyou can draw Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Talisman, most people will not regard him as having False Core combat power before he has solid battle achievements. Shangguan Hong is one of these people.
This situation has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that you can play dumb to catch the enemy off guard.
The downside is that it can easily lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.
For example, right now, without the deterrent power of False Core cultivator, Shangguan Hong sees the Yang Household as an easy target, believing he can easily manipulate them and obtain the token from Yang Household.
A storm was inevitable, but before this storm, the Yang Household Member was embroiled in another one.
Underground, the Giant Mountain, rapidly advancing along the Earth Vein Network, suddenly let out a deep, guttural roar.
Yang Tianwang listened intently, and after a moment, a look of joy appeared on his pale face.
"Giant Mountain said that there is a high-grade Spirit Mine not far ahead. Based on its experience, the density of the Spiritual Qi is at least that of Second-Tier Upper-Grade vein, and the vein is quite large!"
"Second-Tier Upper-Grade ore vein?" Yang Tiankang was taken aback, then took a deep breath.
After pondering for a long time, he took out a Communication Talisman and activated it. This level of fortuitous opportunity was enough to notify Yang Tianyou.
After doing all this, Yang Tiankang instructed Yang Tianwang to command Giant Mountain to retreat.
Second-Tier Upper-Grade mineral vein, located in the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, could very well be home to a guardian Demon Beast.
Given their current situation, it's best to be cautious.
"You all need to quickly circulate your energy to digest the medicinal effects and replenish your Spiritual Power. When the fight breaks out, you can even help your Nineteenth Younger Brother!" Yang Tiankang instructed, turning his head to the side.
"We know, don't worry!" Yang Tianxue replied, and then a rich Spiritual Qi of flames rose from her body.
