313: Chapter 310 Alright! Master, just watch me!

A thick bolt of green lightning fell from the sky, ruthlessly striking the densest part of the crowd.

"Boom!"

Thunderous light exploded.

Dozens of Half-Immortals charging at the front were instantly charred.

A brief moment of panic rippled through the crowd.

The deterrent power of an Earth Immortal was displayed to its fullest extent at this moment.

However...

Faced with the threat of death, fear was quickly replaced by an even more absolute madness.

"We're dead either way! Let's fight this old dog to the death!"

"Charge in! If we rob his treasury, we can afford to buy an immortal registry!"

"Kill!"

No one knew who shouted it first.

The crowd, which had been wavering, erupted once again with astonishing Battle Intent.

Completely disregarding their own lives, they braved the guards' thunder whips and charged frantically up the steps.

The glow of Spells, the clashing of weapons, and screams of despair intertwined into a chaotic symphony.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the black stone wall...

Su Lin watched the chaotic scene, a satisfied smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"It's about time."

He turned his head and looked at Chu Weiwei.

"Weiwei, prepare to break the Formation."

"Alright, Revered Master!"

Chu Weiwei rubbed her hands excitedly and stepped up to the black stone wall.

She pulled an exquisite purple jade bottle from her sleeve, uncorked it, and carefully applied a shimmering, viscous liquid from inside onto the surface of the stone wall.

"This is Void-Melting Liquid. I refined it by mixing the juice of those blue mushrooms with the bile of a poison wolf. Just a little bit can corrode a hole through the defensive Formation on this broken wall."

Chu Weiwei boasted to Su Lin as she applied the liquid.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Accompanied by a piercing sound of corrosion...

That incredibly hard black stone wall actually began to melt as if ice had met boiling water, rapidly forming a hole large enough for a person to pass through.

Moreover, the process did not trigger any alarm Formations.

Yan Rusi watched from behind, dumbfounded.

Liuyun Town's defensive array was said to have been set up by the Xuantian Earth Immortal, who had paid a high price to hire a Formation Master from the main city.

Yet in this young girl's hands, it was as fragile as if it were made of paper.

"Let's go."

Su Lin did not hesitate for a moment and was the first to stoop and crawl through the hole in the wall.

On the other side of the hole was a dark underground passage.

It was very quiet here, forming a sharp contrast with the earth-shaking battle cries in the square outside.

"Revered Master, it's so dark here, Weiwei is a little scared."

As soon as Chu Weiwei crawled in, she immediately grabbed Su Lin's arm, her body pressing tightly against his, her voice so soft and sweet it could make one's heart melt.

Su Lin's mouth twitched, speechless.

This girl hadn't looked scared at all when she was mixing poison to melt the wall just now.

"Stay close to me and don't run around."

Su Lin patted the back of her hand and offered a casual word of comfort.

The three of them walked deeper into the passage.

The air here was very dry, and the walls were embedded with moonstones that emitted a faint glow.

"That old man Xuantian certainly knows how to enjoy himself; even the stone bricks in this passage are paved with Spirit-Gathering Stones."

Su Lin sensed the faint fluctuations of Spiritual Qi coming from beneath his feet and made a mental evaluation.

At the end of the passage was a heavy bronze door.

Complex runes were carved upon the door, emitting a strong force of resistance.

"There is a Bloodline Restriction on this."

Yan Rusi stepped forward and carefully observed the bronze door, her brows furrowing slightly.

"It requires the essence blood of the Xuantian Earth Immortal himself to open this door. Forcing it open will trigger the self-destruct Formation of the entire tower."

She turned to look at Su Lin, her tone filled with worry.

"Senior Su, what should we do? Must we go up and capture Xuantian to draw his blood?"

If that were the case, their previous infiltration plan would be ruined.

Su Lin did not speak, merely staring quietly at the bronze door.

He reached out his right hand, his palm slowly pressing against the center of the runes on the door.

"Bloodline Restriction? You dare block my path with such a low-level thing?"

Su Lin closed his eyes, and the Half-Immortal Essence within his body rapidly circulated.

His Divine Sense transformed into countless extremely fine threads, following the patterns of the runes on the bronze door and silently penetrating within.

"Deconstruct. Reconstruct. Deceive."

Su Lin chanted silently in his heart.

In a very short time, his Divine Sense completely grasped the underlying logic of this Bloodline Restriction.

Then, he simulated a trace of his own spiritual power into the specific immortal essence frequency of the Xuantian Earth Immortal, which carried a hint of coldness.

"Buzz..."

The runes on the bronze door flickered slightly.

Following that, under Yan Rusi's shocked gaze...

That heavy bronze door actually let out a crisp 'clack' and then slowly opened to both sides!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Yan Rusi cried out in shock.

She had personally seen those Formation Masters in the Lower Realm worry themselves gray-haired just to crack a Bloodline Restriction.

Yet the man before her had simply touched it with his hand and made this Upper Realm Restriction open the door submissively?

Just what kind of terrifying level of Formation attainment was this!

Chu Weiwei tilted her chin up proudly from the side.

"My Revered Master is omnipotent. For a piece of junk door like this, it's only because Revered Master didn't want to make a scene; otherwise, he would have kicked it flying with one foot."

Su Lin ignored their praise and was the first to walk through the door.

The sight behind the door instantly caused all three of them to gasp.

It was an incredibly massive circular underground treasury.

The ceiling of the treasury was embedded with hundreds upon thousands of night pearls, illuminating the entire space as if it were broad daylight.

Rows upon rows of tall jade shelves were neatly arranged.

The shelves on the left were piled high with Low Grade and Medium Grade Immortal Stones that emitted a dense Immortal Qi.

Those piles of glowing stones were like small mountains, stimulating one's visual nerves.

"That old dog Xuantian, just how much of the people's wealth has he plundered!"

Yan Rusi's eyes turned red as she looked at those Immortal Stones.

After she had ascended, she had suffered all sorts of humiliations just for a few Low Grade Immortal Stones.

Now, seeing this room full of wealth, her breathing became rapid.

On the shelves to the right were various Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicines stored in jade boxes, as well as some Magic Treasure embryos emitting a faint light.

And in the very center of the treasury was a solitary white jade platform.

On the platform, three transparent light spheres emitting piercing light floated quietly.

The energy fluctuations contained within those light spheres were even more terrifying than all the surrounding Immortal Stones combined!

"What are those?" Chu Weiwei pointed at the platform curiously.

Su Lin walked to the platform, his gaze deep as he stared at the three light spheres.

"These are the trump cards Xuantian prepared to use to charge into the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

He felt the pure, ultimate Origin power within the light spheres, and a cold smile curled his lips.

"They are also the... lives he extracted bit by bit from those ascenders."

Inside the first light sphere was a mass of constantly writhing dark-gold liquid.

That was purified marrow essence from Cultivators, capable of greatly strengthening the Physical Body and allowing a mortal frame to completely transform.

Inside the second light sphere were strands of interwoven five-colored light.

Those were stripped-away mutated Spiritual Roots and Dao Fruits, containing the most primitive insights into the Laws of heaven and earth.

And the third light sphere...

It was also the largest and brightest one.

Floating inside was a transparent crystal only the size of a walnut, yet it emitted an astonishing vitality.

"That is... a pure Immortal Soul Crystal!"

Yan Rusi covered her mouth, her body trembling violently.

She finally understood why those captured Half-Immortals never returned.

Their Divine Souls were forcibly stripped from their bodies and then refined through an extremely cruel Formation, erasing all consciousness and memory, finally condensing into this purest of Soul tonics!

Such methods were even more appalling than those of the Demonic Path!

"This old thing really deserves to die."

On Chu Weiwei's pure face, an extremely cold killing intent now surfaced.

She also liked to toy with Souls, but she would never treat living people as Materials for refining medicine like this.

"Revered Master, let's take all of this!"

Chu Weiwei rubbed her hands excitedly.

"With these things, your cultivation will surely recover even faster, Revered Master!"

Su Lin did not act immediately.

His gaze swept around the treasury.

"We're definitely taking them. However, before we do, we have to leave a little souvenir for this Lord Xuantian."

Su Lin turned to look at Chu Weiwei, a smile with a distinct villainous quality appearing on his lips.

"Weiwei, how much of that chronic poison do you have left—the kind that makes one suffer beyond belief but whose cause can't be found?"

Chu Weiwei was stunned, then her eyes instantly lit up, two small purple hearts throbbing wildly in her pupils.

"Revered Master means..."

"Mix the poison into these Immortal Stones he's prepared to absorb and into the formation nodes."

Su Lin's voice was flat, yet it carried a chill that made one's bones feel cold.

"Doesn't he like absorbing others' Origins?

Then let him have a good taste of Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Heart at the most critical moment of his Breakthrough."

"Alright! Revered Master, just leave it to me!"

Chu Weiwei cheered and immediately set to work in the treasury like an industrious little bee.

With extremely practiced movements, she evenly applied various colorless and odorless poisonous powders and liquids to the surfaces of those Immortal Stones, not even sparing the three light spheres containing the Origin essences.

Standing to the side, Yan Rusi watched this Revered Master and disciple's practiced and coordinated 'crime' process and silently swallowed hard.

She suddenly felt that it was truly a miracle she had lived this long.

These two were ten thousand times more terrifying than the Xuantian Earth Immortal!

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

"Revered Master, it's all done!"

Chu Weiwei patted her hands and tilted her small face up proudly.

"I guarantee that as long as he dares to absorb even a single trace of Spiritual Qi from here, those toxins will bore into his Primordial Spirit like maggots in bone.

At that time, even if he has the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, he'll have to kneel on the ground and beg us to give him a swift end!"

"Well done."

Su Lin nodded with satisfaction.

He gave a large wave of his sleeve.

"Collect!"

Within the treasury, those piles of Immortal Stones and Spirit Medicines surged into Su Lin's storage space like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

In the blink of an eye, the previously crammed treasury was looted clean, with not even a single hair left behind.

Even the three light spheres containing the Origin essences were unceremoniously pocketed by Su Lin.

Looking at the empty treasury, a sense of indescribable refreshment welled up in Su Lin's heart.

"The feeling of zero-dollar shopping is indeed quite good."

He patted his sleeves and turned to walk out.

"Let's go, the good show is about to begin. We'll go outside the town to enjoy Lord Xuantian's Breakthrough performance."

...

At this time, in the square of Liuyun Town.

The battle had already reached a white heat.

That group of desperate Half-Immortals, relying on their numerical advantage, had actually managed to forcibly break through the guards' defensive line and reach the entrance of the tower.

"Boom!"

The tower's gate was directly blown open by several self-detonating Magic Treasures.

The crowd let out a fanatical cheer and swarmed inside.

High in the air.

The Xuantian Earth Immortal looked at the out-of-control situation below, so angry he nearly spat blood.

That one-horned giant beast was still stubbornly entangling him, giving him no chance to go down and suppress the riot.

"Damn it! You group of ants! Once this seat has dealt with this beast, I will definitely strip all your Souls and refine your spirits!"

Xuantian roared, the azure great seal in his hand smashing frantically toward the one-horned giant beast.

Just then.

He suddenly felt that the Bloodline Restriction he had placed in the underground treasury had been touched!

"Not good! My treasury!"

Xuantian's expression changed drastically, and an incredibly strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Everything in there was the foundation for his charge into the Heavenly Immortal Realm! There must be no loss!

"Get lost!!!"

Xuantian went completely mad.

He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the azure great seal.

The seal instantly erupted with piercing blood-light, its size ballooning tenfold, and with a might that could destroy everything, it smashed ruthlessly toward the one-horned giant beast.

"Bang!"

This time, the one-horned giant beast could finally no longer resist.

Its hard horn was directly smashed off, and its massive body fell like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the ruins on the outskirts of Liuyun Town.

Xuantian didn't have time to check if the beast was dead or alive; his body transformed into a bolt of green lightning and dove directly toward the tower below.

"All of you, get lost for this seat!!!"

He roared and struck out with a palm.

Those Half-Immortals who had just rushed into the ground floor of the tower didn't even have time to scream before they were directly flattened into meat paste by this violent palm strike.

Like a god of slaughter, Xuantian carved a path of blood and rushed into the underground passage.

When he rushed to the bronze door in a fit of rage, he found the door slightly ajar.

He kicked the door open.

The sight before him caused his brain to go blank for an instant.

Empty.

Completely empty.

The Immortal Stones and Spirit Medicines he had painstakingly plundered for thousands of years.

The Origin essences he had spent countless efforts to refine.

All of them were gone!

They hadn't even left him an empty bottle for the Medicinal Pills!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

A shrill roar, filled with the utmost despair and rage, echoed from the underground treasury, shaking the entire tower violently.

In this sound was an indescribable heartbreak.

"Who was it!!! Who stole this seat's life's work!!!"

Xuantian's eyes were blood-red as he smashed things around the empty treasury like a madman.

Suddenly.

His gaze fell upon the platform where the Origin light spheres had originally been placed; now, a line of words was written crookedly in immortal spirit ash.

"Many thanks for the gift, Fellow Daoist Xuantian. I'll take these Immortal Stones. — Left by a Kind Passerby."

"Pfft!!!"

When the Xuantian Earth Immortal saw this line of words, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He shook with rage, the Immortal Qi within his body flowing frantically in reverse.

"Kind Passerby... Kind Passerby... I'll kill you!!! I will definitely kill you!!!"
