As Ye Weixiao spoke, she sat down and began refining the central core.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu glanced at the countless treasures at his feet, thought for a moment, and then stood guard to protect the other party.
At this moment, a strange situation occurred outside the cave abode of True Person Fire Cloud.
After harvesting from the several medicinal gardens in front of them, the cultivators suddenly noticed a subtle fluctuation.
As a cultivator, he immediately sensed that this was the fluctuation of an array.
Working together, they easily broke through the formation in front of them, revealing a hidden cave abode.
Upon seeing this, the fellow cultivators were overjoyed.
This must be the treasure trove left behind by True Person Fire Cloud!
Thinking of this, a group of cultivators entered together and then saw a jade tablet that appeared in the cave abode.
The jade tablet was no different from the central hub in front of Ye Weixiao, and Jade Slip beside it clearly stated that this was the central hub of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
Once refined, one can control the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, and then the treasures and inheritance of True Person Fire Cloud will belong to this person.
Upon seeing this, the atmosphere within the cave abode changed drastically, becoming extremely tense and deadly. The next moment, a burst of spiritual light shone within the cave abode.
However, some cultivators, upon seeing the central hub before them, couldn't resist making a move.
All that's needed is to eliminate the other cultivators, and then I can safely refine this central core and obtain all of True Person Fire Cloud's treasures.
What cultivator could resist such temptation?
These cultivators had no idea that there were nearly a hundred such cave abode dwellings of varying sizes.
The cultivators who find such cave abode almost all believe themselves to be chosen ones, and they don't think much of it.
Some of the luckier cultivators found such cave abode alone and immediately sat down to silently begin refining.
The surviving cultivators, who had already eliminated the other cultivators, were sitting down cross-legged with great joy when they were suddenly discovered by Nascent Soul Cultivator who killed them on the spot with a flying sword.
Beneath what was once a paradise on Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, a faint scent of blood began to linger.
In the heart of this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, True Person Fire Cloud's cave abode was far too ostentatious.
After clearing away the spirit medicine, spirit beasts, and other treasures outside, some cultivators finally couldn't resist and slowly approached the place.
Leading the charge were the disciples of the Green Bamboo Sect.
With his elders leading the way, Hua Yunze's trip yielded excellent results.
Relying on his own strength and the presence of the Nascent Soul Realm elder, he monopolized five medicinal herb gardens.
Upon returning home this time, these gains will be enough to advance his cultivation to the next level.
"Have you finished refining it? Those cultivators outside are approaching this place."
Su Mu noticed that the cultivators outside were flying towards this place, and immediately turned his head to ask.
With so many cultivators, once the treasure vault is opened, it will definitely cause a frenzy among countless cultivators.
If it had been any later, things might have gotten even worse.
Half a day has passed since Ye Weixiao began refining the central core, yet there seems to be no movement at all.
Ye Weixiao's breathing had weakened considerably, and her expression was somewhat grave.
"It truly is Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, extremely difficult to refine. I need some more time to gain some control over it."
Ye Weixiao spoke intently.
The other three Spirit Transformation Cultivator beside him remained silent, focusing on refining the central core in front of them.
"Kid, go and keep them all outside. Don't let them disturb our refining center."
Ye Weixiao had just finished speaking when Old Freak Wu spoke up from the side.
Su Mu glanced at the other person, "Why would I do it? There are quite a few Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and cultivators from various sects outside."
"If you don't go, they'll get in and hinder her. You can forget about getting the treasures from the vault then."
Upon hearing this, Old Freak Wu said coldly that he had reached a critical moment in refining the central core, and he could clearly feel that there was something different about the central core than before.
At times like these, he doesn't want anyone to come in and disturb him.
That makes sense, but with these four not showing themselves, it will be difficult for Su Mu to keep them out.
"Ten million Spirit Stone. You pay me ten million Spirit Stone, and I'll go out and stop them."
Su Mu thought for a moment and then said casually.
"Are you taking advantage of my misfortune?" Old Freak Wu's eyes turned cold, his chilling gaze fixed on Su Mu.
Su Mu's expression remained unchanged. "This is a deal. If you're going to refine the central core, then you'll be the ones refining it and controlling this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land. And now you're making me stop people? You're taking all the benefits?"
That makes some sense, but Old Freak Wu and the others didn't look too happy about being taken advantage of by such a junior.
You should know that with their current level of cultivation, even Nascent Soul Great Cultivator would have to treat them with utmost respect.
This is a strict hierarchical relationship among cultivators, which cannot be overstepped in the slightest.
Su Mu, however, was merely a mid-stage Mid Core Formation cultivator, yet he had already crossed this line.
None of the three spoke, but after a moment, a bag of Spirit Stone flew towards Su Mu.
"Take the Spirit Stone and go out to stop those people outside," Old Freak Wu grunted, then closed his eyes and continued refining the central core in front of him.
He had been here for a long time, and his Spiritual Power was greatly depleted.
Ye Weixiao frowned as she looked at the scene before her. How could Su Mu be so reckless, willing to risk his life for Spirit Stone?
Core Formation cultivator going to ask a Nascent Spirit Transformation Cultivator for Spirit Stone —is he really that fearless?
At this moment, she was absolutely certain that these three would capture Su Mu as soon as they refined the central core.
It seems she'll have to get Su Mu out of here as soon as possible.
Even with three Spirit Transformation Cultivator attacking, she couldn't withstand it.
Ye Weixiao was right. Old Freak Wu and the other two had already set their sights on Su Mu. How dare such a junior be so presumptuous? They might as well capture and kill Su Mu.
Su Mu weighed the Spirit Stone in his hand and revealed a satisfied smile.
I previously obtained a considerable amount of Spirit Stone from the Immortal Ascension Steps, and now I have ten million Spirit Stone to spare.
Once we gather some more, we can activate the Teleportation Array again.
After accepting the Spirit Stone, Su Mu turned and left the main hall.
At this moment, the outside was filled with cultivators looking at the main hall, hesitating whether or not to go forward.
The sudden appearance of Su Mu startled them for a moment.
"That's enough for you. You can't go in there anymore."
Su Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the part of a reclusive sage.
However, when the cultivators present realized that the cultivator in front of them was only at the Mid Core Formation, they immediately laughed.
A mere Mid Core Formation cultivator dares to stand in front of so many of them? Is this guy insane?
There were at least five thousand cultivators present, and the number was still increasing.
Even a low-level Law Technique from any one of them could obliterate the cultivator before them, leaving no trace.
