Trouble? Opportunity!

Chapter 99 Trouble? Opportunity! (Please subscribe)

The boy's dantian was shaped like a chicken egg, and the six light blue lines imprinted on its surface indicated that his cultivation level was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Centered on the Dantian (lower abdomen) and Qihai (southern sea), a complex network of energy channels extends outwards. Among them, there are two meridian diagrams located on the shoulder blades and the soles of the feet, one resembling a feather and the other resembling a stubborn rock.

The Feather-Shaped Dharma Vein Diagram consists of twenty-eight Dharma Veins and is classified as a mid-to-high-grade first-tier Dharma Vein Diagram. The Stubborn Stone Dharma Vein Diagram consists of eight Dharma Veins and is classified as a low-to-high-grade first-tier Dharma Vein Diagram.

With such qualities, the boy is considered a prodigy.

"Not bad, not bad—"

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction. He didn't rush to take out his Qi Sea Dantian and Dharma Seed. After a quick search, he lightly touched the boy's brow with his finger, and a wisp of spiritual power surged out, condensing into an array pattern resembling a "seal".

The array patterns shimmered with light.

The boy's dissipating spiritual energy immediately stopped.

After doing all this, Zhu Yu placed the boy and his belongings on the black tiger's back and looked around.

Intense fluctuations erupted in all four directions of the island.

Especially on the lake several miles away, the spiritual light surged, and one could only see a yellow jade seal and a crimson vine colliding and entangled, the surging spiritual energy causing the lake water to rise in huge waves, roaring incessantly.

"Is the cultivation complete? —"

Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed the unique spiritual energy emanating from the seal and vines. It was similar in nature to the divine essence, not belonging to the Five Elements, yet encompassing them.

Clearly, this is the construction of an advanced visualization method, advancing to the perfection of Qi cultivation, and giving birth to a special spiritual power containing a trace of innate power.

Zhu Yu did not step forward, but instead absorbed the two auras and carefully sensed them.

One is gold hidden in the earth, possessing both the weight of the earth and the sharpness of metal. The other is fire hidden in the wood, its fire intense and powerful, while the wood is dry and withered like firewood. It seems strong, but it is like a castle in the air, which may collapse at any moment.

At this time.

A man and a woman arrived not far away. When they saw Zhu Yu standing on the lake and the boy's corpse on the back of the black tiger, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. They nodded slightly, greeted each other, and turned to look at the fierce battlefield on the lake.

Neither of them had any intention of offering assistance.

Or perhaps they wanted to use Qingping, a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, to gauge the strength of this team leader.

Time passed little by little.

The battlefield on the lake suddenly changed.

The crimson vines controlled by the Qingping cultivator suddenly erupted with surging flames, smashing the earthen-yellow seal away with a single blow, after which its aura rapidly declined.

The middle-aged cultivator standing beneath the crimson vines paled. He looked up at the earthen-yellow seal that had flown back, stepped into the crimson vines, transformed into a streak of crimson flame, and soared into the air, flying off in the opposite direction.

The young man and woman not far away exchanged a glance, both revealing eager expressions. They then turned their gaze to Zhu Yu, who seemed to be watching the spectacle, and asked in a focused voice, "Fellow Daoist, would you dare to try your luck with this Qingping cultivator with us?"

Zhu Yu was taken aback, then shook his head slightly, politely declining, "I am not good at fighting, and my self-protection relies entirely on external objects, which may disappoint you, fellow Daoist—"

Upon hearing this...

The young man and the woman said nothing more. One transformed into a streak of blood-red light, while the other merged into a gentle breeze, chasing after the crimson flames on the horizon.

Wu Yang calmly retrieved the seal, his aura undiminished. He nodded slightly to Zhu Yu and then leaped into the air to pursue her.

"Hiding technique—"

Zhu Yu's eyes flashed with envy, then she looked at the boy on the black tiger's back and thought to herself, "Once we stop, I'll take him out—"

When he came to the Qingping Spirit Ruins battlefield, he specially purchased spirit liquids of various attributes, so that he wouldn't be afraid of not being able to nurture the seed after taking it out.

With a thought in mind, Zhu Yu looked around and saw that most of the Qingping cultivators were in danger because the Tiandao Sect cultivators were outnumbered. So he led Black Tiger and Little Black into the island.

Arriving at a location of an array base, he crouched down and began to study it.

Upon seeing this, a slight smile appeared on his face. Just as he had guessed, the Dao of Arrays is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Although the array set up by the Qingping cultivator was complex, its basic array patterns were almost identical to those of the Heavenly Dao Sect's inheritance.

This means that when he devotes his attention to another realm in the future, he can control a certain amount of power in a short period of time, and the benefits are self-evident.

While he was immersed in the slightly different formation.

The others then ended their fight.

Perhaps Wu Yang had chosen it specifically, as the island was weak. After a battle, none of the group was injured, and they even shared a considerable amount of benefits, leaving everyone beaming with joy.

Some people also want to explore the island.

However, a wise and insightful cultivator intervened and stopped him.

Wu Yang deserves the most credit for conquering the island. If we take advantage of his absence to plunder the island's resources, he might not say anything, but he will most likely be richly rewarded later.

Upon realizing this, many people who had this idea abandoned their plans. Seeing Zhu Yu staring intently at the array base, they assumed there was some benefit to be gained and crowded around him.

"Oh--"

But after standing there for a long time, no one could figure it out. He chuckled and casually found a place to sit down and recover his spiritual energy.

This realization immediately surprised them.

"Such a rich spiritual energy—"

Upon closer inspection, the spiritual energy here was several times richer than where they had previously cultivated.

This caused another round of excitement among the crowd.

Although the abundant spiritual energy did not greatly benefit their cultivation, it meant that the island must produce a great many spiritual items. Even if the Qingping cultivator took away a large portion, there would still be plenty left.

Amid their discussion.

I don't know how long it has been.

Three streaks of light—one yellow, one red, and one blue—descended from the horizon, revealing Wu Yang, as well as the figures of a young man and a woman.

Zhu Yu sensed the presence and stood up to look. Guo Yang was as calm and even as before, while the young man and woman had burn marks on many parts of their bodies, but their spirits were exceptionally sharp and their expressions were very excited.

Clearly, the two gained a lot from this trip.

Zhu Yu wasn't envious. People risk their lives for their work, so whatever benefits they receive are deserved.

At this time.

Wu Yang stepped forward, surveying the group whose auras had subtly changed. He nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Having gone through a fierce battle, you must all be used to the Spirit Ruins battlefield now, right? The cultivators of the Qingping Spirit Ruins aren't strong, and each one is a valuable material for refining techniques!"

"For us, the battlefield of the Spirit Land may be dangerous, but isn't it also a great opportunity?"

"Spending a month in the Spirit Ruins Battlefield yields cultivation resources equivalent to a year or even a decade in a sect—"

Wu Yang then spoke.

Everyone present had shining eyes and their expressions revealed excitement.

If it were before, everyone would have scoffed at Wu Yang's words, but after a fierce battle and the acquisition of spiritual items, they realized that the Spirit Ruins Battlefield was just like that!

Zhu Yu shook his head inwardly. If it were really that simple, why send these newly recruited disciples to the battlefield?

A free opportunity? He didn't believe it—

Seeing the crowd's excitement, Wu Yang added fuel to the fire, pointing towards the depths of the island and saying, "This island has been cultivated by the Qingping cultivator for many years. In the center of the island are numerous medicinal gardens, spirit fields, animal pens, and spirit pools. Even if they looted it beforehand, there are still many spiritual items left behind!"

After saying this, he looked around and laughed, "Logically speaking, based on my contributions, I should occupy 50% of the island's resources. Fellow Daoists Xing Sidao and Lu Wanrong beside me also deserve 10% of the resources for their assistance in killing the island lord."

Just as everyone's expressions changed slightly, he changed the subject.

"However, given that this is your first time visiting the Spirit Ruins Battlefield, I have discussed with Fellow Daoists Xing and Lu that we will forgo the 70% share. You can search for yourselves and what you get depends entirely on luck."

At this point, Wu Yang's expression turned serious, and he warned, "Whatever you find, keep it. Do not fight or kill over it. If anyone does, do not blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes, Senior Brother Wu."

Everyone agreed in unison and immediately headed straight for the center of the island.

Zhu Yu originally intended to ride Xiao Hei to search for the spiritual object, but after only a few steps, he was stopped by Wu Yang and the other two.

"Senior Brother Wu, what brings you two fellow Daoists here—"

Wu Yang looked at Xiao Hei under his body, Xiao Yu on his shoulder, and the black tiger following behind him, and was amazed.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone simultaneously raising insects, beasts, and refining corpses, especially that small, exquisite jade-colored mantis, which gave him a vague sense of crisis.

"Junior brother, please don't misunderstand. The reason I stopped you is that I wanted to discuss with you the issue of the allocation of the remaining shares in the subsequent conquest of the spiritual lands."

"A share of spiritual land?" Zhu Yu's mind stirred slightly. He flipped himself onto the ground and said, "Senior brother, please tell me, how is it allocated?"

Wu Yang didn't waste any words and said directly, "I will take 30%, and you, Fellow Daoist Xing, and Fellow Daoist Lu will each take 10%." He paused, then added, "Of course, if there are any late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, Junior Brother will need to intervene!"

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."

With Xiaoyu's peak first-tier cultivation combined with her special talent techniques, he estimated that even a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator could put up a fight, but the chances of winning were not high for the time being. He estimated that Xiaoyu would need to accumulate more blood threads and absorb more characteristics.

However, if you add him and Black Tiger, they will definitely have no problem dealing with late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

He nodded in agreement.

All three wore smiles; once they reached an agreement, no amount of opposition from others would matter.

Unlike sects, here, might makes right!

The four of them then began to chat.

Zhu Yu learned this through the conversation.

Wu Yang comes from "Mengze, the Huangshan lineage," Xing Sidao comes from "Gulongtan, the Blood Dragon lineage," and Lu Wanrong, like him, comes from Yinming Cave, the Demon-Slaying lineage.

After introducing themselves, the four of them became noticeably closer.

Wu Yang also revealed some things about the Lingxu battlefield to the three of them.

for example.

Conquering a spiritual land is considered completing the most basic expansion task. Although the reward is meager, there will be no punishment.

After conquering a spiritual land, one should not rush to attack the next. Instead, one should wait and see if any Qingping cultivators come to their aid. If they do, kill them if possible; otherwise, flee.

If there is no help, we can explore inwards and find a sacred place. If we can take it without losing too many people, we can take it. If we can't take it, we can join forces with other teams to take it.

all in all.

Once you conquer a spiritual land, you don't have to worry about the True Person blaming you. After that, it's just a matter of making big or small profits, and testing your experience and insight. After all, Qingping cultivators aren't fools or idiots. They can't wait for you to break through and kill them one by one. They can also devise plans and dig traps.

Finally, Wu Yang glanced at the three of them and said calmly, "You'll see later that I didn't take this 30% share for nothing—"

.——

The Lingxu battlefield is also divided into day and night.

Only that all-encompassing canopy of the sky remained unchanged, illuminating the surrounding world.

A lake, an island.

An old, unassuming, dark yellow handkerchief traveled through the island's mountains and forests. Before long, it arrived deep within the island, not far from a huge protective barrier covering an area of ​​several miles. The handkerchief tilted slightly, revealing an earthy yellow bead resembling a pupil.

After glancing at it, the yellowish-brown bead quickly shrank into the handkerchief, then retreated back into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Not long after he left.

A human face appeared on the surface of a large tree beside it. Its wood-textured eyes glanced around, a look of doubt on its face, then it snorted coldly and disappeared.

at this time.

It is located in a body of water about ten miles from the island.

"Another trap—"

Looking at the three pillars of energy, each over ten feet tall, reflected in the mirror before them, Zhu Yu, Xing Sidao, and Lu Wanrong exchanged a helpless glance.

This is the fourth island that Wu Yang has explored, and the pillar of energy in the mirror is a manifestation of Wu Yang's magic, which can detect the cultivation level of cultivators.

If the pillar of energy is more than ten feet high, it means that the person is a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator who has refined special spiritual power.

The wait wasn't long.

An old, dark yellow handkerchief fell into the water. Guo Yang looked away, sighed softly, and shook his head, transmitting his voice: "Let's go find the next island—"

Zhu Yu took back the handkerchief and nodded.

The four of them did not use their spiritual power, but relied solely on their physical strength to glide underwater. After traveling about twenty or thirty miles, they emerged from the water, quickly dispersed, and searched for their next target.

The sun and moon rise and fall.

On this day, in a corner of a deserted island.

Just as Zhu Yugang finished preparing the seed of the young man's magic, a stream of light descended from the sky and landed in front of him. His divine sense swept over it, and Wu Yang's excited voice rang in his mind.

"Hurry, we have a big shipment!"
