Heavy Ruler, Spirit Jade Mine

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Xiao Yan shook his head, but said nothing.

This was obtained by my master in exchange for the formula for the Golden Elixir.

It has absolutely nothing to do with him.

He's just a nobody now, with nothing to offer in return but to diligently cultivate his skills.

I can only wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment before heading to that Evil Spirits- filled cave abode to see if I can obtain any good items.

And my master.

Without a master, let alone achieving Heavenly Dao Foundation, even Earth Dao Foundation is just wishful thinking.

Once I have enough power, I will definitely resurrect him and honor him for the rest of my life.

Zhang Xuanchen, meanwhile, was looking at the Jade Slip in his hand.

Formula for the Golden Elixir:

Main ingredients: Third-grade Top-tier Golden Pattern Profound Condensing Fruit, Third-grade Top-tier Heavenly Heart Flower, Third-grade Mid-tier Jade Marrow Ganoderma.

Auxiliary ingredients: Third Stage Low-Grade Earth Core Spirit Milk, Second-tier Top-grade Illusion Heart Grass, Second-tier Top-grade Blood Essence Demon Fruit...

Good heavens, no wonder these things are so rare on the market; they've been collected in advance by those powerful forces.

Of the hundreds of auxiliary medicines in the Zhang Family Spirit Medicine Garden, only forty-seven are available.

Of the three main medicinal ingredients, only the Jade Marrow Ganoderma was obtained in the Sky Dragon Secret Realm.

It seems it will take quite a while to find them all.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone. When the Lineage issues the task, it won't be difficult to find all the auxiliary ingredients.

He put away the Pill Formula, looked at Xiao Yan and Elder Dan, and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Brother Xiao, Elder Dan, I still have a mission to complete, so I'll take my leave now."

With the Seven-leaf Soul Returning Grass, Elder Dan's strength should be greatly restored.

There's no need for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself to act as a protector.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Xiao Yan nodded and said:

"Brother Chen, please go without worry. With Master here, I will be safe while I recover."

You, on the other hand, need to be more careful.

There was one Foundation Establishment Late Stage and two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in that branch hall. Originally, there were seven Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but now only three remain.

It has strong overall strength.

Unfortunately, I'm seriously injured right now, and if I went, I'd only be a burden.

I can no longer fight alongside Brother Chen.

At this point, a look of disappointment appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

"Hahaha." Zhang Xuanchen patted his shoulder and laughed heartily, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

I look forward to the day when I can fight alongside you.

Goodbye.

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and flew back towards Spirit Jade Island. With Elder Dan there, Xiao Yan was sure to be safe.

But one's own Jade Marrow Spirit Milk is another matter entirely.

Watching Zhang Xuanchen walk away, Xiao Yan asked longingly, "Master, do you think I can keep up with him?"

"If this were in the past, I could confidently tell you, yes!"

Right now, it's very difficult, extremely difficult!

Alright, just thinking about it without doing anything is pointless. Now, focus on recovering quickly, aiming to recover within seven days, and then break through to the peak of Qi Refinement.

Then continue to hone your skills and solidify your foundation; you must perfect every aspect of your spirit, Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

The Heavenly Dao Foundation; the slightest carelessness can lead to one's demise.

I finally found a disciple who satisfies me.

He can't die.

Once you recover, I will subject you to even more brutal and grueling training!

Are you scared?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan straightened up, his expression resolute, and said, "I'm not afraid!"

"Very good!"

Bang!

A sound rang out, and a ruler-shaped magical Law Artifact, entirely black with crimson patterns on its surface, smashed a deep crater into the ground.

"Holy crap, Master, what's this?!"

"It's just a ruler. Once you're healed, carry it on your back; you can't even put it down while sleeping."

Glug~

Looking at this black ruler that has sunk more than ten meters into the ground.

Xiao Yan swallowed hard.

"Master... Master, you're joking, right?"

"Huh? Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Meanwhile, on Spirit Jade Island.

The Soul Devouring Cult has branches within it.

Main Hall.

Yin Kui, the branch hall master, sat on the main seat, drinking and making merry with two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Evil Cultivator, showing no sign of happiness.

Below, nine pretty girls wearing transparent gauze dresses, revealing their long, straight, and beautiful legs, sang and danced.

Everything that should and shouldn't have been revealed was exposed.

All this was to win the favor of Yin Kui and his two companions.

Only in this way can there be a chance of survival.

"Brother Kui, that White Tiger, the one with the perky head, I really like it..."

The Black Robed Youth beside Yin Kui rubbed his hands together and chuckled wickedly.

Upon hearing this, Yin Kui laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Shi Feng, I knew you had this kind of taste."

Okay, here you go.

After saying that, he looked at the effeminate man beside him and asked knowingly, "Du Xie, just tell me which one you fancy, and I, as your older brother, will definitely satisfy you."

We Evil Cultivator, who risk our lives, might die any day now.

We must seize the day and enjoy life to the fullest.

Upon hearing this, the effeminate man known as the Du Xie drank the blood wine in one gulp.

He nodded and said, "Brother Kui is right."

That's what I meant too, but I've had enough of playing with women and younger men, so I want to try what it's like to be with a man.

"I wonder if Brother Kui has any handsome young men here?"

As he spoke, the Du Xie licked his lips, revealing a lewd expression.

Yin Kui and Shi Feng felt a chill run down their spines and a tightening in their buttocks.

An expression of disbelief crossed their faces.

In just two months, my best friend has changed so much.

What exactly happened?!

Just as Yin Kui was about to say something, a Qi Refining Peak Evil Cultivator rushed in, looking flustered, and shouted:

"Lord Yin, something terrible has happened! Lord Yin has happened!"

"Hmph! What's wrong with me! I'm perfectly fine!"

Yin Kui slammed his hand on the table, and the Foundation Establishment Late Stage aura emanating from his body caused the intruding Evil Cultivator to kneel down with a thud.

"What kind of behavior is this, all this panic!"

What is it? Speak quickly!

Seeing Yin Kui's fury, the Evil Cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak trembled and said:

"Lord Yin, Lord Gu others' Soul Tablet are broken. They're dead."

The Lord Gu he mentioned was naturally the four Foundation Establishment Early Stage Evil Cultivator who were chasing Xiao Yan.

"What did you say!" Yin Kui flashed and pinned the Evil Cultivator against the wall!

He said coldly, "Gu Yan and the other three were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and you're telling me they were killed by a Qi Refining late-stage brat!?"

The evil Qi Refining Evil Cultivator turned pale and was almost in tears. "Lord Yin, it's absolutely true!"

How could I possibly joke about something like this?

Just then, Du Xie stood up and said, "Brother Kui, this guy definitely wouldn't dare to lie to you."

In that case, I'll go.

I will capture this man alive and hand him over to Brother Kui for disposal."

Upon hearing this, Yin Kui pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, go ahead."

Be careful. That kid is quite cunning; he managed to kill four Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Don't be careless.

Anyone who dares to steal the Spirit Jade right under our noses must be killed without mercy!

"Don't worry, Brother Kui, leave it to me. I'll make sure that kid experiences a different kind of fun!"

After saying this, he walked out of the Main Hall, leading several Qi Refining Evil Cultivator in pursuit of the direction Xiao Yan had fled earlier!

On the other side.

Zhang Xuanchen also successfully arrived at the Spirit Jade Mine.

I checked the time; there was still a quarter of an hour before the Jade Marrow Spirit Milk would appear.

There is still plenty of time.

There were quite a few people at the Spirit Jade Mine, but the vast majority of them were not Evil Cultivator.

They were dressed in tattered clothes, their eyes devoid of any light, only showing numbness.

All they know is mining, eating, sleeping, and pooping.

There were both men and women among them, and it was obvious that these people had been captured by this Evil Cultivator and were being used as slaves.
