76: Shake people, good-hearted demon cultivator?

Three Thousand Spirit Valley, Foundation Establishment Wang Clan.

It is located above the Xieyue Mountain Spiritual Vein.

Inside the Immortal Cave at the most concentrated part of the Spiritual Vein.

"How audacious, truly audacious!"

"I really underestimated that old fool of a Niu. He actually spent so much to hire an outside Foundation Establishment Cultivator to kill Old Hei Zhou and his three brothers."

"The Divine Soul auras of the three were extinguished within mere breaths of each other. Only a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator possesses such combat power."

The Old Ancestor of the Wang Clan, Wang Mingshan, a short old man with a hunched figure in a crimson spell robe, had a pair of slightly cloudy eyes that flickered with intense hatred.

"Poor me, I fed so many spiritual items, and finally got such an opportunity. I originally wanted to harvest the surrounding Family forces to get some Spirit Stones to buy Foundation Establishment Pills."

"I hadn't even earned much before I lost everything."

Wang Mingshan knew in his heart that this matter must have been the work of that old fool of a Niu. He had thought that the Niu Family was truly cowering, not venturing out, and was just waiting for him here.

"Since you made the first move, don't blame me for making the fifteenth."

Wang Mingshan truly couldn't swallow this insult. This time, he finally got to wait for the conflict between the Jiao Demon and the Yellow Springs Three Sects, a golden opportunity that only comes once in a hundred years.

This was precisely the time for him to earn extra Spirit Stones and buy Foundation Establishment Pills to get rich.

Cutting off his path to wealth was cutting off the Legacy of their Wang Clan. The Niu Family would definitely pay the price.

The more Wang Mingshan thought about it, the angrier he became. With a flick of his hand, he took out a dusty Jade Talisman from his Storage Pouch.

Call for backup!

Now that Wang Mingshan knew there were two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Three Thousand Spirit Valley, he would absolutely not take a single step out of the Family's Formation. He would hold his ground.

Even if his path to wealth was cut off, he would never lose his rationality.

Since that old fool of a Niu could call for backup, so could he. Although bringing outside Cultivators into the Three Thousand Spirit Valley was inherently dangerous.

But at a time like this, if the enemy had it, he must also have it, otherwise, his sense of security would decrease.

This communication Jade Talisman could contact the Sky Abyss Sword Sect, but it hadn't been contacted in a long time. Every year, their Wang Clan would offer a large amount of Cultivation spiritual items.

Basically, seventy to eighty percent of the entire Family's Cultivators' year-long efforts were taken away, and what remained could only barely sustain their survival.

There was simply no way to earn more Spirit Stones.

After much painstaking saving, he finally cultivated three...

Damn it!

Wang Mingshan cursed inwardly and activated the communication Jade Talisman without hesitation. This Jade Talisman had a recording effect.

Immediately, he tearfully recounted the predatory actions of the Niu Clan, requesting the Upper Sect to dispatch Foundation Establishment Cultivators for support.

Robbing him was robbing the Sky Abyss Sword Sect.

The Sky Abyss Sword Sect would certainly not ignore such a loss of face.

...

Azure Cloud Mountain Range, on the Demon Suppressing Peak of the Sky Abyss Sword Sect.

A young bald Cultivator, lying asleep on a several-zhang-long wine gourd, was responsible for guarding the Supervision Hall. He had drunk a large amount of spiritual wine and had been sleeping for many days.

On a bookshelf to one side of the Supervision Hall, there were hundreds of communication Jade Talismans, belonging to the many forces under the Sky Abyss Sword Sect. If any force contacted the Sky Abyss Sword Sect, it had to go through him.

This was also the easiest job, earning his monthly Sect contribution effortlessly.

If his great-grandfather wasn't a Golden Core Elder of the Sword Sect, this task would never have fallen to him.

Buzz!

At this moment, a dusty Jade Talisman at the very bottom of the bookshelf glowed with an orange-yellow light. This color was extremely conspicuous, and a wave of Spiritual Qi rippled through the hall.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Dalong, half-asleep, raised his hand and drew the Jade Slip into his right hand.

A dwarfish old man immediately appeared on the Jade Talisman, kneeling on the ground and wailing loudly.

"Damn it!"

"So noisy!"

Zhou Dalong frowned and subconsciously destroyed the communication. What was he even saying? A wailing sound disturbing his peaceful sleep.

In a flash, he tossed the Jade Talisman aside onto the ground.

Then he turned and lay back on the wine gourd, which was as big as a small mountain, and continued to sleep.

These country bumpkins were truly ungrateful. What kind of messages were these? Daring to complain to the Upper Sect? Next time, he would make them contribute several more portions.

Zhou Dalong grumbled a few words of dissatisfaction in his heart and then continued to sleep. This was indeed the second-grade spiritual wine given by his grandfather, full of Spiritual Qi and potent in its intoxicating effect.

In a blink of an eye, half a day later.

The sun set in the west.

Wang Mingshan in the Xieyue Mountain Immortal Cave stared at the communication Jade Talisman in his hand, his expression slowly changing from anticipation to confusion.

Half a day later, his eyes showed unwilling anger.

"Damn it!"

Wang Mingshan slammed the communication Jade Talisman in his hand onto the ground.

The Sky Abyss Sword Sect was abandoning him to his fate!

He had been robbed, yet they were still so indifferent. If it weren't for the Bloodline Restriction in his body, otherwise...

"Alas..."

Wang Mingshan sighed deeply, took a few steps, bent down, and picked up the Jade Talisman.

Since the Sky Abyss Sword Sect wouldn't bother, then he would try to find Rogue Cultivators from outside. Ordinary Qi Refining Rogue Cultivators were useless; he could only seek Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators.

After careful consideration, Wang Mingshan had a candidate in mind.

When he was young and a Rogue Cultivator outside Five Elements Immortal City, he had met a fellow Cultivator named Chai Lang. Among the Rogue Cultivators he knew, only this person had luckily reached Foundation Establishment; the dozens of others had all died during the Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment process.

However, this person was insatiably greedy and infamous.

If he brought this person here, it would inevitably lead to future troubles, but when he thought about the Sky Abyss Sword Sect's lack of response now.

With two Foundation Establishment Cultivators secretly lurking in the Three Thousand Spirit Valley, he couldn't sleep soundly.

After much hesitation, Wang Mingshan still took out a communication Jade Talisman that had not been used for a long time.

...

At this time.

Inside the Immortal Cave above the Qiao Clan of Bei Yuan Mountain.

The Qiao Clan Chief respectfully placed all the Spirit Stones and some spiritual items accumulated by the Qiao Clan over the years into a Storage Pouch and offered them with both hands.

"Senior, this Storage Pouch contains all the accumulations of our Qiao Clan over these many years!"

"If Senior has any commands, everyone in the clan will definitely do their utmost."

The Qiao Clan Chief bowed in salute.

Shi Chuan sat cross-legged on the Spiritual Plant cushion above, raised his hand, and drew the Storage Pouch to his hand, scanning its contents with his Divine Thought.

There were only a pitiful three hundred-plus Spirit Stones, many of which were broken Spirit Stones.

Ten broken Spirit Stones could only be exchanged for one Low-Grade Spirit Stone, and most of the spiritual items were first-grade low-to-mid grade.

After opening several resource points set up by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Shi Chuan's standards had also risen.

However, it was still some gain.

This Qiao Clan was quite sensible, so letting them remain here was acceptable.

"Not bad."

"Very perceptive."

"Today, this old man will impart to your clan another Cultivation Technique that can be quickly mastered, the Moon Pool Heavenly Demonic Technique!"

Shi Chuan sifted through Eternal Vine's fragmented memories and found a more suitable Demonic Technique, the Moon Pool Puppet Refining Art!

Like many Cultivation Techniques disseminated by the Yellow Springs Sect, it involved refining oneself into a puppet. This Cultivation Technique had been modified.

Once any member of the Qiao Clan could advance to Foundation Establishment, he would be able to sense it and come to harvest, or control them remotely.

This Cultivation Technique could draw Moon Evil Qi into the body, and it could also sacrifice one's lifespan. One could obtain a great deal of Moon Evil Qi daily for Cultivation.

The Cultivation Technique allowed for rapid Breakthroughs in Cultivation, but also consumed lifespan extremely quickly.

This Cultivation Technique was useful for refining puppets, and Cultivators who cultivated to the Late Stage of Qi Refining could also gather considerable Evil Qi.

"This Cultivation Technique, when combined with the Divine Communication Art, can complement each other. Remember to quickly switch to both."

"Anyone who hasn't switched to the Moon Pool Heavenly Demonic Technique within ten days will be cut down."

Shi Chuan said carelessly.

Which Demonic Cultivator could be as kind-hearted as he was?
