"Sect Leader Su, please speak. There's no need to be so polite. The Luozhen Sect and the Departing Maple Sect are allies," Li Yunjing said.

Su Zhen paused for a moment, then said:

"True Person Li, several of my disciples from the Departing Maple Sect Departing Maple Sect been kidnapped by the Heavenly Star Bandits. Could True Person Li... possibly rescue them?" Su Zhen asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing frowned.

I haven't heard of the name "Heavenly Star Bandits" in a while.

I remember the last time I heard about it was last year.

At that time, Li Yunjing had just Foundation Establishment and happened to encounter a leader of the Heavenly Star Bandits causing trouble near Xunxian Town.

Xunxian Town planned a bandit suppression operation, Li Yunjing participated.

Since then, Li Yunjing has never heard of the name of the Heavenly Star Bandits again.

Even setting aside the Heavenly Star Bandits, you can't find ordinary bandit cultivators around Xunxian Town.

The fact that a disciple of the Departing Maple Sect has been kidnapped by the Heavenly Star Bandits is no small matter.

"Sect Leader Su, could you please explain what happened in detail?" Li Yunjing asked.

Su Zhen paused for a moment, then continued:

"Just yesterday, I suddenly received a letter stating that the Heavenly Star Bandits had captured five of my disciples from the Departing Maple Sect."

Furthermore, the Heavenly Star Bandits demanded that Departing Maple Sect hand over half of its resources as ransom, or they would kill him.

This is the information I have so far. Even I, the sect leader, don't know how or where my disciples were abducted.

True Person Li, you know how powerful those Heavenly Star Bandits. They were far superior to my Departing Maple Sect sect.

I was truly forced into this situation, which is why I thought of seeking out True Person Li.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "Why don't you go Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance? If we're really talking about strength, the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance is much stronger than my Luozhen Sect!"

Su Zhen smiled wryly, "This is because we've taken into account the relationship between the Departing Maple Sect and Luozhen Sect."

"Given True Person Li's influence in Xunxian Town, if I just seek True Person Li out, the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance will spare no effort to help Departing Maple Sect."

Li Yunjing smiled; Su Zhen's words made sense.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Li Yunjing pondered carefully.

The Heavenly Star Bandits live in seclusion on Heavenly Star Mountain. Although they do have some activities on weekdays, they are not particularly bold.

For example, kidnapping is something the Heavenly Star Bandits are capable of; they just know how to choose the right targets.

There is no doubt that the strength of the Departing Maple Sect is inferior to that of Heavenly Star Bandits.

However, the Immortal Alliance is behind the Departing Maple Sect, which means that the Heavenly Star Bandits cannot provoke Departing Maple Sect.

After all, if the Heavenly Star Bandits provoke those with weak backgrounds, they can bear the Heavenly Star Bandits even if something unexpected happens.

But sects like Departing Maple Sect, backed by the Immortal Alliance,

Those who dare to provoke the Heavenly Star Bandits will be met with a heavy blow.

The Immortal Alliance was eager for the Heavenly Star Bandits to walk right into their trap.

If we don't provoke them, that's fine, but once we do, the Immortal Alliance won't let us off the hook.

Therefore, Li Yunjing felt that this matter was very strange.

Why did the Heavenly Star Bandits provoke the Departing Maple Sect for no reason?

Could it really be that they've been blinded by greed, all for half of the Departing Maple Sect's resources?

Departing Maple Sect has been established for over a century, and its foundation is still quite solid.

Even if it's only half, it's still a considerable fortune.

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly and stopped worrying about the reason.

The most important thing right now is to the Departing Maple Sect.

"Sect Leader Su, our Luozhen Sect will not stand idly by in this matter. Rest assured, the Luozhen Sect will do its best to help Departing Maple Sect find those disciples."

However... Sect Leader Su needs to be prepared in case something unexpected happens...

Su Zhen nodded; he understood what Li Yunjing meant.

If something unexpected happens, those disciples from the Departing Maple Sect will likely be nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

After chatting with Su Zhen for a while, other guests began to arrive one after another.

Li Yunjing could only bid farewell to Su Zhen for the time being and go to greet the other guests.

Just then, a burst of Golden Light suddenly surged out of the sky, like a dam bursting.

Amidst the Golden Light, a massive flying ship slowly emerged.

A flag was planted on the flying boat, with the character 'gold' embroidered on it in seven-colored silk threads.

Under the gold characters, there is a pill furnace-shaped decoration.

This is the symbol of the Wangtian Jin Household Wangtian Jin Household, whose alchemy skills are renowned far and wide.

Inside the Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing soared into the sky.

"The arrival of fellow Daoists from the Wangtian Jin Household brings great honor to our Luozhen Sect."

A woman stepped out of the flying boat.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how have you been?"

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded in greeting, "Fellow Daoist Jin."

After the two greeted each other, several more people stepped off the flying boat.

They are the three masters of the Jin Household.

Li Yunjing had met him before.

Among them, Jin Qiwu, the eldest son of the Jin Household, stepped forward with a smile.

"Young friend, congratulations to the Luozhen Sect on the emergence of two Golden Core True Person. This is a small gift; I hope you won't find it offensive."

Jin Qiwu took out a storage ring from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Li Yunjing's hand before Li Yunjing could even refuse.

"It is already an honor for the Luozhen Sect that you have come, senior. There is no need to be so polite."

Li Yunjing still had to say a few polite words.

Jin Qiwu didn't respond, but instead asked:

"Where's my nephew? I haven't seen him."

Li Yunjing said, "Fellow Daoist Jin is busy, I'll go and call him over."

"No, young friend, just tell me where to wait for him, there's no need to trouble you," Jin Qiwu said.

Li Yunjing shook his head repeatedly, insisting that he would take them to see Jin Xiaofeng.

Li Yunjing left only after Jin Xiaofeng and the Jin Household had met.

Taking a break to return to his cave abode, Li Yunjing took out the storage ring given to him by Jin Qiwu.

When Li Yunjing probed into it with his Divine Sense, he was immediately stunned.

There weren't many items in the storage ring, only three.

But all three items are exquisite, the finest of the fine.

The first item is Pure Yang Jade, an extremely rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

After a cultivator wears this item, the pure yang Spiritual Qi within the jade will gradually integrate into the wearer's body.

Over time, the wearer will acquire the Pure Yang Spirit Body, one of the higher-level Spirit Body.

The second item was a tortoise shell.

It looks ordinary, no different from a regular tortoise shell.

But in reality, it's the shell of Dao Turtle.

The Dao Turtle is a kind of spirit born of heaven and earth, and is naturally favored by heaven and earth.

It has no combat ability, but possesses a rare ability: to predict the future.

The Dao Turtle can proactively deduce the future and predict future events.

Even after the Dao Turtle died, its shell retained this ability, albeit at a much weaker level.

But it's strong enough.

Li Yunjing tested the power contained within the tortoise shell.

I learned that this tortoise shell can predict what will happen in the next month, or at most two months.

However, it is estimated that this can only be predicted once before the tortoise shell breaks.

The third item was a cylindrical piece of spirit iron, resembling an iron rod.

The arms are short, the whole body is gold, and the surface is decorated with bird and animal patterns, auspicious cloud patterns, and other designs.

These patterns encompass everything, as if they include the entire universe.

"It's actually the All Things Gold. The Jin Household's gift is really a hot potato," Li Yunjing murmured.

Of All Things Gold is the most precious of the three.

Nothing more than this "All Things Gold" is a material used to forge Law Treasure.

Law Treasure crafted from the All Things Gold will naturally possess a Divine Ability.

This kind of Divine Ability is called Law Treasure Divine Ability, similar to the Divine Ability cultivated by cultivators.

Divine Ability Law Treasure with supernatural powers are top-tier among Law Treasure.

Often, a magical Law Treasure that is not outstanding in any aspect becomes unattainable simply because it possesses Law Treasure Divine Ability.

More importantly, to create this kind of Law Treasure, all you need is a All Things Gold about the size of a fingernail.

Right now, the All Things Gold is far more than just this!
