19: The cave residence of a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training!

This, however, invigorated Tang Tian… Spirit seeds are so valuable…

He put everything into the Medicine Venerable Space where no one was around. As for why Tang Tian didn't run?

Tang Tian had Chi Daizi's Divine Soul imprint on him, and no one at the Qi Refining stage, 4th level, would shelter him. Countless people would also scramble to risk their lives for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Although Chi Daizi was abnormal… there would still be many willing to die for him…

It was already noon when he left the pharmacy. In a small alley, he saw Tang Lu enter, and Tang Tian followed him in.

Tang Lu walked cautiously, startled when Tang Tian patted his shoulder.

Tang Lu said,

“Fellow Daoist, why are you here! Although you are at the ninth level of bone refinement, I am not afraid of you! What? You’ve reached the Qi Refining stage, 1st level!”

Tang Lu felt Tang Tian’s cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, 1st level, and immediately changed his tone:

“Brother Tang, take these medicinal seeds and plant them. I will never be stingy again.”

Tang Lu barely dared to breathe, handing the medicinal seeds given by the County Magistrate to Tang Tian.

These medicinal seeds were not cheap at the Spirit Medicine shop; they cost twenty Spirit Stones each.

Tang Tian said,

“You owed me a few taels before, but I am not a stingy person.”

Tang Tian took the seeds with a smile. Now he had all the forging body spiritual medicines, and he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

Tang Lu kept calling him “Brother Tang” left and right. Although it was a bit strange, he was already speaking without thinking.

After all, it was as easy for a Qi Refining Cultivator or Immortal to kill them as it was to crush an ant.

Tang Tian was not afraid of Tang Lu reporting him to the County Magistrate, as his entire Family was staying in Tang Family Village.

Tang Tian asked,

“Why are you here?”

Tang Lu naturally wouldn't tell him that he was looking for Tang Ju, who had been missing from the county for half a month.

Tang Tian asked,

“By the way, do you know where Tang Ju is?”

Tang Lu said,

“He has been missing for half a month.”

Tang Tian smiled and let Tang Lu go.

Tang Lu was already dead—before he died, he probably didn't even know who killed him—

He also needed to find a way to perform Alchemy. This Poison Pill was really effective; the reputation of Yin Sha Old Man was indeed not baseless.

Unfortunately, although Beast Fire was sold, it cost thousands of Spirit Stones, which was expensive.

Although Gangs also had it, the Cultivators in the Gangs were at the Lianqi Fifth Level, and with thousands of Gang members, it was impossible to snatch it.

A Cultivator at the Lianqi Fifth Level was considered a prominent figure in the county.

The county was exceptionally lively… The servants of large Families were distributing invitations. The Liu Family Talisman Workshop and the Yu Family Alchemy Workshop had discovered a Secret Realm… They sincerely invited heroes from all over to explore it together.

Regardless of success, there would be rewards of a Gathering Qi Pill, a Fireball Talisman, and one Spirit Stone, which was quite a lot.

Many Qi Refining Cultivators came today. All thirty-odd people present were Qi Refining Cultivators, and many more were rushing over.

This was a rare grand event, and it only stopped when over one hundred and fifty Cultivators arrived.

However, they were all at the Qi Refining stage, 1st level, with the highest being only at the Lian Qi Second Layer.

Cultivators with higher cultivation would disdain this place.

This Secret Realm was an Immortal Cave of a Lianqi Sixth Level Cultivator. They came to get a share of the spoils.

A Lianqi Sixth Level Cultivator was, without exception, an existence like the County Magistrate.

The accumulated wealth was unimaginable.

Leading the team were the Liu Family and Yu Family Head, both Lianqi Fifth Level Cultivators. Seeing this, Tang Tian also joined in. Their Family disciples numbered over thirty, with the highest being only at the Lian Qi Second Layer.

But that didn't stop them from looking disdainfully at the Qi Refining Cultivators outside.

Some hot-tempered Cultivators nearby immediately expressed their dissatisfaction:

“What are you Liu Family Cultivators looking at with your dog eyes?!”

He was sent flying by a Liu Family Cultivator at the Lian Qi Second Layer, and everyone else dared not speak.

Tang Tian wore a masked black robe… staying to the side…

The Liu Family Head said,

“Everyone, please come tomorrow and we will explore together. Any treasures found in the Secret Realm will be purchased by us at twenty percent above market price.”

The crowd dispersed, and Tang Tian stayed in the inn. He still had to consult Chi Daizi.

He took out a talisman and asked,

“Master, your disciple senses an Opportunity. May I stay a few more days?”

The talisman did not respond, so Tang Tian took it as agreement. The next day, a large group of Cultivators gathered again.

The Liu Family and Yu Family offered Gathering Qi Pills and Fireball Talismans, and each Cultivator showed joy.

Tang Tian muttered inwardly,

“I feel like this group of Cultivators is so poor.”

The two Family Heads said,

“Everyone, we will divide into nine teams, twenty people per team, led by a Cultivator at the Lian Qi Second Layer.”

Tang Tian was assigned to the seventh team. Everyone present had ulterior motives. After receiving the Fireball Talisman, they were prepared to snatch Opportunities from those around them.

Even if the snatched Opportunities were sold to the Liu Family and Yu Family… they could still make a huge profit…

The Liu Family Head said,

“Everyone, please take your position tokens.”

The position token could detect everyone's location. After the Cultivator holding it died, the position point would become invalid.

Upon hearing this, everyone became furious.

Because the Liu Family and Yu Family were holding tokens that could detect their locations.

Someone resisted and threw the token, only to be severely injured and on the verge of death by the Liu Family Head.

The Liu Family Head said,

“Everyone, our Liu and Yu Families are second only to the County Magistrate in the city, and we are wealthy households. Would we harm you?”

Everyone fell silent. The combined wealth of the Liu and Yu Families could not be matched by all one hundred and fifty of them.

This time, they would just earn a small amount of money. Many quick-witted individuals present suppressed their thoughts.

The crowd moved out in a grand procession. Tang Tian stood in the last row. The leader of Tang Tian's team was a Lianqi Second Level Loose Cultivator.

Many Cultivators were talking loudly, clearly hoping to seize good Opportunities and exchange them for cultivation resources.

The Secret Realm was outside the Dense Forest Stone Nest… The Dense Forest Stone Nest was the forest outside Qingmu County, filled with Yao Beasts, though the outer perimeter had been cleared…

However, from time to time, Lianqi Second Level Yao Immortals attacked, making everyone nervous. They only hoped that the Secret Realm was not deep within the Dense Forest Stone Nest.

The team walked for a while and stopped in an open area on the outskirts. Along the way, any Yao Beasts that foolishly approached were easily dealt with.

The Liu Family and Yu Family Head each held a Barrier-Breaking Talisman, which actually made a Secret Realm appear in the open space before them. It was truly amazing.

Tang Tian was stunned.

The Liu Family Head roared:

“—Everyone, what are you waiting for? Go in now!— ”

The Liu and Yu Family Cultivators entered first, followed by the other Cultivators who were unwilling to be left behind.

The Yu Family Head said,

“Everyone, although we discovered this Secret Realm, the treasures within depend entirely on each person's ability. Even if you don't sell them to us, we will not force you.”

The Yu Family Head had the benevolent appearance of a Maitreya Buddha, amiable and kind. Upon hearing this, all the Cultivators were visibly stirred, each eager to explore.

The Liu Family Head said grimly,

“Each team must obey their captain's arrangements, or else I will not be polite.”

The Liu Family Head left first.

The crowd also dispersed with their respective small teams. The captain of Tang Tian's team was a shrewd old man.

He forced several Cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining stage, 1st level, to scout ahead. The poisonous mist in front had not dispersed for years… Tang Tian suspected this Secret Realm was not just for Lianqi Sixth Level Cultivators…

“Ah!”

Three screams came from ahead. The three individuals were bitten by poisonous insects. Those around them used Fireball Talismans to keep the insects from approaching.

The three turned to pus and died.

The surrounding teams had not yet gone far, and everyone was shocked. This exploration would not be peaceful.

But the old man laughed with great joy and said,

“Evil Poison Fruit!”

Evil Poison Fruit… is a Yellow-grade medicinal material that grows near poisonous insects, and its value is considerable…

The Yu Family Head was pleased and said,

“Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to sell this fruit to my Yu Family? My Yu Family will purchase it for five Spirit Stones.”

It was an immediate success.

Although the surrounding Cultivators were envious, no one tried to snatch it.

The old man directly eliminated a poisonous insect nearby, grabbed the Evil Poison Fruit, and the Qi Refining stage, 1st level, Cultivators who were stirring nearby dared not move.

The old man said,

“Willing, willing! I, Li Xing, am destined for this Opportunity!”

He was overjoyed and immediately exchanged it for five Spirit Stones. Seeing that the Yu Family truly exchanged it, the surrounding Cultivators began to trust the Yu Family.

Tang Tian's eyes flickered slightly. He saw Li Xing put the Spirit Stones into his pocket… a cold sneer flashed across his face…

Everyone stopped waiting. Li Xing made the other Cultivators go ahead. When those Cultivators refused, Li Xing immediately broke the arm of the most rebellious Cultivator.

Although the Yu Family Head tried to stop them from a distance, he didn't take action, and everyone followed suit.

It gradually became more and more brutal.

Tang Tian's team began to explore. Along the way, some wild beasts attacked, and even if there were Qi Refining stage, 1st level, Yao Immortals, they were repelled by the combined efforts of everyone.

As for the people scouting ahead, two more died. Roars of Yao Immortals constantly came from a distance—clearly, the other teams were not having an easy time either—
