94: Yin Yang Union Fruit

"The yin yang harmony fruit will take another half month to mature; we can't push those evil Cultivators too hard during this time."

"Let the people below fight them first to wear down their strength."

"We will launch the general offensive on the final day."

After everyone quieted down, the person in the lead seat spoke.

The yin yang harmony fruit is a Rank Six Spirit Medicine that seizes the creation of heaven and earth; it is a true Heaven And Earth Treasure.

If a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator consumes a yin yang harmony fruit, their chance of breaking through to Soul Transformation increases by thirty percent; if refined into a Medicinal Pill, it can even reach fifty percent!

It is a Heaven And Earth Treasure that every Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator dreams of.

And if a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator consumes it, they can advance their cultivation by at least one minor Realm, saving decades of bitter cultivation.

The yin yang harmony tree is very special; it only takes one year from sprouting to bearing fruit.

However, during its growth process, it requires a massive amount of spiritual energy and nutrients to continue growing.

If the spiritual energy and nutrients are insufficient, it will stop growing, and all efforts will be in vain.

The reason those evil Cultivators are refining cities and performing blood sacrifices on a large scale is to scavenge the flesh and blood essence of Cultivators to nurture the yin yang harmony tree.

According to the investigation of the Demon Slaying Alliance, the yin yang harmony tree in the Yinyue Mountain Range has grown a total of seven yin yang harmony fruits.

Once they mature, if used properly, at least five Nascent Soul Stage Experts can be born.

So whether they want to or not, they must go and seize those yin yang harmony fruits.

Even if they can't get them, they must destroy them; they cannot let those evil Cultivators have them.

Otherwise, once five Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators are born on the evil Cultivators' side, it would definitely be a massive catastrophe for these families and Sects.

At the same time, they also developed a sense of greed for the yin yang harmony fruit.

After all, at their Realm, who wouldn't be moved by a treasure that can further their cultivation?

Thousand Star Lake,

Due to the start of the Demon Slaying Operation, most Loose Cultivators had gone out to hunt evil Cultivators, so Thousand Star Lake had become much quieter.

After arriving at Thousand Star Island, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue found the staff and handed over all the corpses and shadow retention tokens to them.

After an inspection, fifty-six thousand contribution points were quickly transferred to Zhang Daobai's account.

These contribution points weren't much, because the "Geng Jin Sword Art" that Lin Luoxue needed alone required two hundred thousand contribution points to exchange.

Returning to the mission posting light screen, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue quickly searched for suitable missions.

Now, these missions were disappearing as they were completed; they had to grab them as quickly as possible.

"Hmm? This mission is pretty good."

Soon, Zhang Daobai found a mission with very high contribution points.

This mission required clearing a place called Ten Thousand Corpse Cave, which was a corpse-raising ground for the Corpse Puppet Sect, filled with a large number of corpse puppets.

The underground tunnels of the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave were intricate and very narrow, making them extremely disadvantageous for combat.

Furthermore, the corpse puppets inside were generally at the First Rank Late Stage or above, and there were even Third Rank corpse puppets.

The contribution points for this mission weren't fixed but were calculated based on the corpse puppets.

For example, one First Rank Late Stage corpse puppet was worth ten contribution points, a First Rank Perfection corpse puppet was worth thirty points, and so on.

Many Loose Cultivators had taken this mission, but all had failed without exception, the main reason being the terrain was unsuitable for combat and the tunnels within the cave were too narrow.

However, this wasn't a problem for Zhang Daobai; as long as he funneled poisonous mist into the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave, he could just walk in and collect them later.

Although corpse puppets were immune to most toxins, among the toxins White Moon had devoured, there were still many that could affect them.

Although corpse puppets had formidable defense and strength far exceeding their rank, what could they do to stop an overwhelming mist?

After discussing it with Lin Luoxue, Zhang Daobai accepted the mission.

The missions that remained uncompleted were basically those that were difficult to handle, so Zhang Daobai only planned to take this one mission for now.

After accepting the mission, Zhang Daobai didn't rush to the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave but returned to Moonlight Island to rest and reorganize.

As soon as he returned, Zhang Daobai saw Mu Lingxi irrigating the spirit fields with rain.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lingxi."

Zhang Daobai descended from the sky and came to Mu Lingxi's side.

Hearing his voice, Mu Lingxi quickly turned her head; when she saw Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Brother Daobai, Sister Luoxue! You're back!" Mu Lingxi cheered in surprise.

"Yes, where is your mother?" Zhang Daobai nodded and continued to ask.

"She went to Four Directions Island to sell talismans; she should be back in the afternoon."

As Mu Lingxi spoke, she cast a Spell to withdraw the Spiritual Rain Technique.

With Zhang Daobai's help, the three acres of spirit fields were soon irrigated.

After returning home, Zhang Daobai set up a pot and started a fire, preparing to make a spirit meal.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi quickly volunteered to help, observing Zhang Daobai's culinary skills up close.

As for the most excited one, it had to be Youying; without waiting for Zhang Daobai to speak, it impatiently rushed toward the Xuantian Mountain Range and soon brought back several Yao Beasts with delicious meat.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the small courtyard, and Mu Lingxi, standing beside Zhang Daobai, couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Only those who had studied the Dao of spirit meals knew just how good Zhang Daobai's skills were.

Mu Lingxi felt that her own cooking skills compared to Zhang Daobai's were like an ephemeral mayfly looking up at the vast sky.

Mu Yuruo, who was selling talismans on Four Directions Island, was soon called back by Zhang Daobai via sound transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, was your mission successful?"

After sitting down, Mu Yuruo softly asked Lin Luoxue.

Lin Luoxue nodded slightly: "Very smooth."

With Youying taking action, this mission could be said to have been very smooth, feeling as if there was no difficulty at all.

"That's good. I've heard that lately many Loose Cultivators have been ambushed by evil Cultivators while completing missions, resulting in heavy losses."

"It's said that three Golden Core Stage Loose Cultivators have already fallen after being besieged by evil Cultivators."

Speaking of this, a trace of relief appeared on Mu Yuruo's face.

"Even Golden Core Stage Cultivators have fallen!?"

Lin Luoxue was also surprised by the news, and even Zhang Daobai couldn't help but turn his head.

Mu Yuruo spoke softly with a worried tone: "I heard that it seems evil Cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave have also joined in, causing the strength of those evil Cultivators to soar."

If the Demon Slaying Alliance were only dealing with the evil Cultivator forces of the Yinyue Mountain Range, it would definitely be a crushing victory.

But the sudden addition of the Blood Fiend Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave made the current situation somewhat uncertain.

"The Blood Fiend Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave actually joined in!"

Hearing this, Zhang Daobai's eyes flickered as he quickly analyzed the current situation.

With the evil Cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave joining, it was obvious that this war between good and evil would not end easily.

For Zhang Daobai, this was both good news and bad news.

The good news was that the Demon Slaying Operation wouldn't end anytime soon, allowing him to earn more contribution points.

The bad news was that the strength of the evil Cultivators had increased significantly, and future missions would become increasingly dangerous.

However, what interested Zhang Daobai even more was what reason could make the evil Cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave travel thousands of miles to help the evil forces in the Yinyue Mountain Range.

One must know that evil Cultivators don't care about loyalty or mutual aid, nor do they have compassion; they only care about benefits!

Zhang Daobai was very curious about what kind of benefits could be enough to attract so many evil Cultivators to travel thousands of miles to this place.

Heh! This secret is probably only known to those at the very top, Zhang Daobai thought to himself.

Obviously, even the higher-ups of the Demon Slaying Alliance were moved by this huge benefit.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have blocked the news and kept those below in the dark.

Claiming they don't know is definitely impossible; the Demon Slaying Alliance even has Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators.

How could they not investigate such an abnormal situation?

And after finding out, they chose to conceal the information; clearly, they were also moved by that huge benefit and wanted to swallow it themselves.

After a while, all the spirit meals were ready, and Zhang Daobai and the others went to sit in the pavilion.

"Many thanks to you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Mu Yuruo felt the instinctive craving from her body and understood that this spirit meal was not simple, so she expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Mu. The information you collected is also very important to us; this meal is simply a token of my gratitude."

Zhang Daobai took out a bottle of spiritual wine and said with a smile.

Mu Yuruo quickly shook her head and explained: "This information is all publicly available; it's not particularly precious."

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Zhang Daobai's words left Mu Yuruo stunned, momentarily speechless.

Perhaps because of Zhang Daobai's words, Mu Yuruo's attitude became more relaxed and intimate afterward.

After finishing the meal, Mu Lingxi volunteered to clean up the leftovers.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, do you know what the current situation is like over at the Yinyue Mountain Range?"

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhang Daobai brought the topic back to the Demon Slaying Operation.

Mu Yuruo spoke with a hint of apology: "I don't know much."

I've heard that all the evil Cultivators in the Yinyue Mountain Range have gathered together and are currently confronting the Demon Slaying Alliance.

Both sides have been engaged in constant slaughter, but so far, no Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage have taken action.

The evil Cultivators have a large number of corpse puppets and hold the advantage in battle, so the losses on the Demon Slaying Alliance's side are currently more severe.

Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage haven't taken action?

What are they wary of? Or are they waiting for some opportunity?

Zhang Daobai pondered thoughtfully, his hands lightly tapping on his knees.

"Oh, right! A rumor has also spread among the evil Cultivators of the Yinyue Mountain Range that one of their Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestors has already infiltrated the Demon Slaying Alliance's territory with some evil Cultivators."

"If the Demon Slaying Alliance doesn't withdraw from the Yinyue Mountain Range, they will randomly attack a certain Family or Sect."

"Whether this news is true or false, no one knows yet."

Mu Yuruo said with a worried look in her eyes.

Because the attacks would be random, Thousand Star Lake could also become one of the evil Cultivators' targets.

After learning this news, Mu Yuruo had been very worried. What if those evil Cultivators broke into Thousand Star Lake?

"It's quite a good scheme."

After hearing the news, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but sneer.

Using one Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestor to tie down the attention of several or even a dozen Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators—this deal was truly worth it.

After all, most people in the Demon Slaying Alliance came from Family and Sect forces, unlike Loose Cultivators who had no attachments.

Threatening them with the safety of their Families and Sects was like hitting a snake at its seven-inch mark.

Next, Mu Yuruo spoke out all the various pieces of information she knew while recalling them.

"Right! Besides evil Cultivators, you must be careful of other Loose Cultivators!"

Mu Yuruo suddenly thought of something and reminded them with a heavy tone.

"Why?" Zhang Daobai hurriedly asked upon hearing this.

"Someone discovered that contribution points can be transferred, so now many Loose Cultivators specifically go to plunder others' contribution points."

"And the Rogue Cultivator Alliance only recognizes the contribution points, not the person. They don't care who brings the contribution points to exchange for items."

Mu Yuruo's words shocked Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue, but they didn't feel worried; instead, they were somewhat pleasantly surprised.

They were currently worrying about not having enough contribution points to exchange for so many things, and they hadn't expected there to be such a way.

However, Zhang Daobai didn't show his pleasant surprise, as Mu Yuruo was still sitting nearby.

"Mm, thank you for your reminder. We will be careful," Zhang Daobai thanked her with a serious nod.

Soon, after finishing all the information she knew, Mu Yuruo took Mu Lingxi and bid them farewell.

After the two left, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue looked at each other, both understanding what the other was thinking.

"How about we do some fishing law enforcement?" Zhang Daobai suggested with a smile.

"What is fishing law enforcement?" Lin Luoxue asked with some confusion.

"It's using ourselves as bait to catch those big fish."

"I think with your personality, you certainly wouldn't take the initiative to plunder others. But what if we rob those who come to rob us?"

Speaking of this, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Daobai's mouth.

"Then let's go with your plan."

Lin Luoxue nodded without any objection, agreeing to Zhang Daobai's fishing law enforcement plan.

Actually, Zhang Daobai had another reason he didn't mention, which was that the contribution points on those Robber Cultivators would definitely be more than others.

Instead of robbing ten poor ones, it's better to rob one rich one!

Early the next morning, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue steered the spirit boat and flew towards the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave.

Along the way, Zhang Daobai didn't use the Spirit Concealing Mist to hide the spirit boat, but instead openly displayed their tracks.

After flying out of Thousand Star Lake for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhang Daobai, standing on the deck, finally smiled.

"They're here!" x2

Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue spoke in unison.

The next second, a powerful pressure enveloped the entire spirit boat.

A man wearing a fiery red mask and holding a long black saber suddenly appeared in front of the spirit boat.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai immediately controlled the spirit boat to hover in mid-air to prevent the man from damaging it.

"Hand over your contribution points, and I can let you leave safely."

The masked man ordered in a raspy voice.

"Golden Core Early Stage!"

Based on the aura of the masked man, Zhang Daobai quickly understood his cultivation level.

"I'll count to three. Three!"

Accompanied by the first number spat out, the masked man waved his saber and slashed out a Saber Qi wrapped in flames.

With one slash, a white cloud to the side was split in two, used to intimidate Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue.

"Youying!"

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai called out in a calm tone.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the masked man opposite frowned, thinking Zhang Daobai had other helpers, so he quickly spread his Divine Sense to search the surroundings.

The next second, a sense of crisis like thorns on his back suddenly appeared, causing the masked man's expression to change instantly as he hurriedly twisted his body, wanting to escape the danger.

But before he could move, a black light flashed from behind him, instantly slicing across his back.

"Ah!"

The masked man immediately let out a painful scream as a hideous wound, deep enough to see the bone, was carved across one of his arms and his back.

"Flowing Flame Slash!"

Enduring the intense pain, the masked man instantly swung his saber back to slash.

In an instant, a flaming long saber with a scorching breath appeared in the air, as if formed by condensed flowing fire.

But when he turned around, he found no one behind him.

"Oh no!"

After realizing, the masked man once again felt a fatal sense of threat coming from behind him.

"Puchi!"

This time, Youying didn't just grab and run, but directly used its claws to pierce through the masked man's Dantian.

Wrapped in Spatial Power, even though the masked man was wearing High Grade Magic Treasure level armor, it couldn't stop Youying's claws.

The black claws pierced the masked man's Dantian and pulled out his Golden Core.

Looking at the glittering Golden Core in its hand, Youying didn't hesitate to stuff it into its mouth, as if eating a delicious candy.

With his Dantian shattered and Golden Core removed, the masked man instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell downwards with a waning aura.

Seeing this, Youying quickly grabbed him and brought him back to the spirit boat.

"Bang!"

After Youying threw the masked man onto the deck, it went directly back into the cabin.

Zhang Daobai then squatted down and lifted the masked man's mask.

Under the mask was the appearance of a handsome young man, who had already fainted.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai directly used his Divine Sense to impact his Sea of Consciousness, waking him up.

"Kill me!"

After the young man woke up, he looked at the sky with vacant eyes and said in despair.

With his Dantian shattered and cultivation ruined, he had already lost the hope to live; now he only sought death.

"Don't be in a hurry. You can die after I ask you a few questions."

After Zhang Daobai finished speaking, he took out a healing Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into his mouth to keep him alive for now.

Then Zhang Daobai took the storage ring off his hand.

After spending some time erasing the Divine Sense mark on the storage ring, he took out a jade token from inside.

"First question: how do you transfer contribution points?"

Looking at the 138,600 contribution points on the jade token, Zhang Daobai quickly asked the first question.

The young man didn't speak, stubbornly remaining silent as if he were already dead.

Looking at this attitude, Zhang Daobai shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Sigh, why bother."

Then Zhang Daobai let White Moon out and had Lin Luoxue go back into the cabin first.

After Lin Luoxue went in, Zhang Daobai took out a dagger and sliced open the young man's crotch.

The chill on his lower body instantly aroused the young man's sense of crisis as a man, and he quickly looked up.

"Wait! What are you going to do?" the young man asked in a weak and urgent tone.

Zhang Daobai turned his head and replied with a smile, "Can't you tell? I'm preparing to extract a confession through torture."

!!!

What does extracting a confession through torture have to do with cutting my crotch?

The young man subconsciously wanted to squeeze his legs together, but unfortunately, he couldn't move at all.

"Now I'll ask you one more time: how do you transfer contribution points?"

After Zhang Daobai gestured a few times with the dagger, he asked again.

"Inject spiritual power, then press them together."

When it came to a man's dignity, the young man, who wasn't even afraid of death, finally compromised.

A man can die, but he cannot not be a man.

Zhang Daobai smiled with satisfaction, then took out his own jade token.

After injecting spiritual power into the man's jade token, he pressed it against his own.

Soon, looking at the contribution points on his jade token, Zhang Daobai nodded with satisfaction and put it away.

"Second question: your identity?" Zhang Daobai continued asking after putting away the jade token.

"Loose Cultivator."

"Age?"

"...One hundred and twenty-eight years old."

"Name?"

"Huo Qianqiu."

"Any accomplices?"

"No."

"Where is your Immortal Cave?"

"Number 36, Yuhua Island."

"Any friends, Dao Companions, or the like?"

"..."

To this question, the young man... old geezer chose to remain silent, likely worried that Zhang Daobai would retaliate against his friends or Dao Companion.

"Tsk!"

Zhang Daobai raised an eyebrow but didn't continue pressing, as the questions he wanted to ask were finished.

Then, after stripping the man of all his valuable treasures, Zhang Daobai brought him into the Small World.

"This is!?"

As a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Huo Qianqiu had some discernment and saw something was wrong here at a glance.

"This is your graveyard. The soil is soft, and the greenery is beautiful. It's a land of auspicious feng shui!"

Zhang Daobai pointed to a piece of land nearby and introduced it.

"Isn't this a spirit field?"

Huo Qianqiu turned his head to look and asked subconsciously with some confusion.

"That's right, it's a spirit field."

As Zhang Daobai spoke, he ordered Long Li to make a pit in an open space in the spirit field.

"You're fucking using me as spirit fertilizer, aren't you!"

Huo Qianqiu quickly realized and immediately broke down, cursing loudly.

What the hell "soft soil and beautiful greenery"—you're growing vegetables on my corpse!

"Shut up! You impolite fellow."

Zhang Daobai raised his hand and took out a Spirit Sword, severing his head with one strike.

Then Zhang Daobai buried Huo Qianqiu's corpse in the pit and leveled the ground.

He then transplanted several stalks of Third Rank Spirit Medicine onto this piece of land.

"The corpse of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator should be able to accelerate the growth of these Spirit Medicines."

After Zhang Daobai finished, he clapped his hands and muttered to himself.

Having said that, Zhang Daobai performed the Spiritual Rain Technique to irrigate the land.
