Chapter 146 Returning to the transplant site, preparing to open Tingquan Mountain

Some time after Chen Li fled, the original location of the life spirit flower was in a wretched state. Many Fourth and Fifth-level Demonic Beast were still barely hanging on, and now Sixth-level Demon Beast began to arrive one after another.

After checking the area, a Seventh-Grade Flying Feather Crane Demon arrived on the scene. Finding nothing, it sent a message using a beast bone.

After a dozen breaths, Red Gold arrived at the scene, still in the form of a burly man. It sniffed the remaining aura and shook its head.

It sensed a jumbled aura, a complete mess. It activated its Divine Sense, but still found nothing.

To be able to take down a Sixth-level Demon Beast within a few breaths and flee quickly, leaving the scene so clean, it must have been a Golden Core Cultivator who had been famous for a long time.

Moreover, for the opponent to be able to discover this flower here, they must have been scouting for a long time and planning for many days. It now suspected it might be a Golden Core Cultivator from the Beast Hunting Sect?

It said to the Seventh-Grade Flying Feather Crane Demon, "Go and ask, do you still have the contact channel for that person from the Beast Hunting Sect?"

"I still have it!"

"Ask if it was their people who came and took this flower."

"Understood, my lord. If it was, what should we do?"

Red Gold was also hesitating. Although another Grand Elder of the Beast Hunting Sect had been in seclusion for a hundred years, it wasn't sure if the person was still in seclusion or had left. It didn't dare provoke that person again.

"Have him steal the flower out. Doesn't he want Foundation Establishment materials? There's no harm in cooperating with us once more!"

"Understood!" After saying that, the Seventh-Grade Flying Feather Crane Demon turned and flew toward the north.

...

Chen Li returned smoothly to Black Magpie Mountain. When Chen Songli saw that her father had returned in less than ten days, she marveled at his efficiency!

Golden Core Cultivators were so terrifying; ten thousand miles was as simple as drinking water for a round trip. This once again refreshed her understanding of the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator!

During his return, Chen Li used the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique to travel seven or eight hundred miles before stopping. After that, he flew the rest of the way, reaching the edge of the Boundless Forest in a few days.

"Father, is the matter settled?" Chen Songli asked curiously.

"Haha, it's settled, very smoothly!"

"Father, that was a Sixth-level Demon Beast. Did you insta-kill it?"

"Just a small test of my skills!" Chen Li gave her a look that said, of course!

"Father, you're amazing!"

Chen Songli's eyes sparkled as she said excitedly, "Father, next we should go open the Listening Spring Mountain of the Nine Nether Secret Realm!"

It had been about seven years since the last time they entered. Chen Songli was still very much looking forward to the Nine Nether Secret Realm because she was responsible for the harvest while her father was responsible for the slaughter. It was very satisfying!

Chen Li was also thinking about whether to open this Listening Spring Mountain. After this combat experience, he had a clear idea of his own combat power; dealing with three Sixth-level Demon Beast should not be a major problem.

He only needed to trap one first, stall another, and then he could kill one!

The more Chen Li thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He could use a Grade 5 Formation to trap one for a while and use several golden thunder bamboo flying swords to stall another while he focused on killing one.

Chen Li shook his head and decided to give up on the clumsy method of trapping and stalling mentioned above. Now that his strength was solid, he needed to improve his efficiency. Showing off his strength in a place with no one around was for the sake of efficiency in solving problems.

He could also test his own limits!

With Black Tortoise Evasion, the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique, Burial Fire, golden thunder bamboo flying sword, Blood Shadow Form, and Severed Limb Calamity Transformation, Chen Li began to ponder. Testing his limits inside the Secret Realm was fine since there were no outsiders to expose his cultivation, and he could flee the Secret Realm at any time to ensure his safety.

It wasn't about being low-key for the sake of it. There was no need to stay low-key in a place where no one would find out, especially if it hindered the efficiency of getting things done!

"I'll think about it some more. If I feel there's no problem, I'll tell everyone in three days!" Although Chen Li had a plan in mind, he still used a delaying tactic to transplant the life spirit flower first.

Chen Songli was very expectant and felt there was a good chance. "Alright, father!"

...

In the Taihu Mountain Range, at the Beast Hunting Sect, in an Immortal Cave on Baihua Peak, Jin Yue and Gui Qiutang met again.

"Junior Brother Jin, how is it? Have you thought of a solution?"

Ever since that Golden Core Demonic Path Cultivators's attack failed, his entire plan could no longer be implemented. He had underestimated his fellow Disciple, Junior Brother Lu!

He hadn't expected that even though the man had only advanced twenty-odd years ago, his Magic Treasure and Divine Ability were not weak. He was likely not afraid of an old-timer like him who had been at the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years.

Having spent a lot of resources without getting the job done, he could only curse that Golden Core Demonic Path Cultivators for being too useless.

"There's no good way for now. Robbing lone Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators is too slow and would attract the attention of Golden Core Cultivators. Directly killing Foundation Establishment Family Cultivators is too stupid and easily exposed. Sigh!"

At this time, Gui Qiutang said, "Haha, Junior Brother Jin, I actually have a way. There's a grand stage suitable for you."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Jin Yue was now desperate to advance to the Middle Stage Golden Core; he really wanted to make progress!

"One of my Foundation Establishment Disciples will soon 'voluntarily' sign up for an infiltration mission. After signing up and returning, this person will disappear, but I will retain his aura.

You know my Heavenly Illusion Art. You can impersonate this person for the infiltration mission. As for Junior Brother Lu, it will be very difficult for him to discover you!

You also know that the Grand Elder basically won't come looking for you anymore. You can just announce a ten-year seclusion on Baihua Peak. At that time, I will also help cover for you, so no one else will know!"

Jin Yue paused, feeling somewhat doubtful.

"The recorder developed by the Alliance's Nascent Soul Cultivator—do you have a way to bypass that as well?" Jin Yue asked.

"Haha, I've also studied this recorder for over a decade. As long as it's man-made, there are loopholes. I've been cracking it bit by bit over the years and have found a way to bypass it. I can make the recorder record whatever I want by projecting illusions into it."

At this point, Gui Qiutang took out an operation manual for cracking the recorder and then produced a recorder to demonstrate on the spot.

Jin Yue saw that there were no issues and asked, "How did you end up wanting to study this thing?"

"Haha, Alchemy is boring, so I just found something to play with!"

Jin Yue certainly didn't believe the other's explanation, but he remained silent.

Jin Yue was shocked by Gui Qiutang's plan; it was far too bold. However, as he began to think it over, it seemed feasible.

As long as he blended in, he would know all those infiltrating Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Furthermore, the Alliance's infiltration was unified, carried out in batches.

Once in the East Sea Archipelago, he could indeed act freely. After all, countless Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivator disappeared there every day.

However, he still had some concerns. After all, the war between the East Sea Archipelago and the Southern Border's eastern Sects was intensifying. He wondered if he would be caught up in it.

But then he thought of his Golden Core cultivation. If he encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would stay far away. If he encountered someone of the same Realm, he could still protect himself.

He weighed the pros and cons repeatedly and felt that the plan was highly feasible and worth a try, but he didn't agree immediately.

"Let me think about it some more. I'll give you an answer in three days, how about it?"

Gui Qiutang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, Junior Brother!"
