30: Chapter 30 Joint Cultivators

Li Daoxuan thought of a plan. At this moment, acting alone was definitely not viable. The chaotic battle had already begun, and everyone was grouped by Family, slaughtering Loose Cultivators or smaller Families.

Although his strength was not weak, he was not a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage. With two fists unable to fight four hands, he definitely could not engage these guys head-on.

Since that was the case, he could only unite all the Loose Cultivators to contend with the Family Cultivators. As for what would happen after getting out, that was a matter for later; for now, keeping their resources and lives was enough.

Li Daoxuan had powerful cultivation. Under his gathering, a team of more than ten people was quickly formed, with three at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Now, every Family had suffered casualties, and the remaining Cultivators numbered only a dozen or so. The ten-plus Loose Cultivators gathered by Li Daoxuan had more than enough strength for self-preservation.

Li Daoxuan was naturally unwilling to just settle for self-preservation. He gathered the three Cultivators at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and discussed with them what to do next.

These three Cultivators were a couple, Zhou Qing and Ming Ya, and an elderly man, Jiang Liyuan.

Jiang Liyuan asked, "Li Daoxuan, I don't know why you called us here?"

The Zhou couple also looked over. Now that they had united, they could protect themselves and wait for the Plain Secret Realm to open so they could be teleported out. They did not know what Li Daoxuan intended to do by gathering the three of them.

Li Daoxuan said softly, "The three of you should know that the Plain Secret Realm contains the main ingredients for the foundation establishment pill, right? As long as we obtain the main ingredients for the foundation establishment pill, we can exchange them with a major School for the foundation establishment pill, and making a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage shouldn't be difficult."

Jiang Liyuan sighed, "Li Daoxuan, I also know that the Plain Secret Realm has the main ingredients for the foundation establishment pill, as many as three types, especially the Liquid Condensation Dew. But the problem is, we cannot obtain them."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My wife and I originally intended to collect Liquid Condensation Dew, but the Cultivators from the Wang Family, Li Family, and Yun Family were too overbearing. We couldn't collect any at all and were driven away directly."

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Haven't you noticed that the Plain Secret Realm has become very chaotic now? If I were to suggest joining forces with the three of you to seize resources from those major Families, what do you think?"

Zhou Qing hesitated. To say he wasn't tempted by the foundation establishment pill would be impossible, but with the four of them, it would likely be very difficult to take down those Family Cultivators.

Jiang Liyuan asked, "Li Daoxuan, I wonder if you have any special methods? You might as well tell us."

Li Daoxuan continued, "If I have a way to trap those Cultivators using a Formation, do you three have a way to finish them off?"

Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said, "If they are trapped by your Formation, Fellow Daoist, we definitely have a way to slaughter them. However, do you really have such a Formation?"

Li Daoxuan patted his Storage Pouch, and two sets of Formations appeared before him. They were the Grade 1 Peak-Quality Heavy Water Formation and the Grade 1 Peak-Quality Blazing Fire Formation.

"What do you think if I give them a taste of ice and fire?"

Seeing these two sets of Formations, Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fellow Daoist, if we have these two Formations, we can definitely seize resources from those Family Cultivators. However, once we are teleported out, how are we supposed to escape?"

Li Daoxuan glanced at him. Zhou Qing was a smart man; he had already thought about how to escape after getting out. Otherwise, even if they obtained the main ingredients for the foundation establishment pill, they wouldn't be able to escape the clutches of those Family Cultivators.

However, he had a way. He smiled and said, "After we get out, we will appear within a hundred miles of the entrance. The teleportation is random. I have some Grade 2 Speed Talismans here. As long as we have them, I believe everyone can safely leave the entrance of the Plain Secret Realm. What do you all think?"

Jiang Liyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, since you have this, why didn't you take it out earlier? This is great! As long as our luck isn't too bad, we can definitely escape alive. Once we get the foundation establishment pill, we can all succeed in Foundation Establishment. Hahaha."

Zhou Qing was very clear-headed. Even with the Grade 2 Speed Talismans, they might not necessarily be able to escape the tracking of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, but if they were far away, they would have a certain chance of escaping.

"Fellow Daoist Li, wealth is sought in danger. I agree to this matter, but I only hope that you will give us the Grade 2 Speed Talismans first."

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "You aren't planning on taking my Speed Talismans for free, are you?"

Ming Ya giggled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you joke. Grade 2 Talismans have high value; one is worth at least a hundred Spirit Stones. We will each pay one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones. What do you think?"

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly. Although the Grade 2 Speed Talisman was expensive, it didn't reach one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones. The price Ming Ya offered was already considered very high, so he naturally agreed.

He patted his Storage Pouch, took out three Grade 2 Speed Talismans, and handed them to the three.

The three picked them up to inspect them, nodded in satisfaction, and took out Spirit Stones to hand to Li Daoxuan.

After the transaction was completed, Li Daoxuan asked, "The three Fellow Daoists should all have Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts, right? If not, I have some here, but regarding the Spirit Stones!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Hahaha, Li Daoxuan, you really know how to do business. Do you have any offensive Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts? I need two."

It could be seen that they had gained quite a lot in the Plain Secret Realm; otherwise, Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts were not something that Loose Cultivators like them could afford.

Jiang Liyuan hesitated for a moment, took out a bag, and said, "I don't have enough Spirit Stones, but I have a Blazing Fire Bird egg here. It should be enough to exchange for two Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts. If it's not enough, I will make up the difference with Spirit Stones."

Li Daoxuan said in surprise, "This is a Spirit Beast bag? It contains a Blazing Fire Bird egg? Is it a Grade 2 Yao Beast, the Blazing Fire Bird?"

Jiang Liyuan nodded and said, "Yes. If it weren't for the chance to obtain the foundation establishment pill, I would not be willing to take out this treasure. If it is raised, it can definitely be a Grade 2 Yao Beast to assist me."

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "If it really is a Blazing Fire Bird egg, I can give you two Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts, but they are both of the offensive type. After all, defensive Magical Artifacts are rare."

Not many defensive Magical Artifacts are taken out for sale; after all, they are treasures for saving one's life. If one has such a treasure, they would definitely equip the strong individuals within their own faction first.

Jiang Liyuan nodded and said, "It is definitely a Blazing Fire Bird egg. I am willing to swear an Inner Demon Vow."

Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction. Being willing to use an Inner Demon Vow to prove it meant that the egg was indeed a Grade 2 Yao Beast Blazing Fire Bird egg. He had struck gold this time.

For him, as long as it could increase his strength, anything would do—Talismans, Magical Artifacts, Talisman Treasures. He didn't expect to have a chance to obtain a pet beast.

Li Daoxuan quickly took out the Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts from his spoils of war from his Storage Pouch. There were five in total, and he kept both Flying Swords.

Because as his cultivation level got higher and higher, the number of Flying Swords he could control with Thread of Fate also increased. For him, Flying Swords were definitely the best offensive treasures.

After taking out the Magical Artifacts, Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "These are all my Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts. Whichever ones you three Fellow Daoists fancy, just choose them."

In his Storage Pouch, there were still five Flying Swords: Cold Light Sword, Mother-Son Swords, Liuguang Sword, Clear Water Sword, and Blazing Sun Sword. Besides these, there was also a small bell and an umbrella.

These Peak-Quality Magical Artifacts were all ones he had kept for himself. The small bell was both offensive and defensive, the umbrella-shaped Magical Artifact was an excellent defensive Magic Treasure, and he also had a soft spot for the remaining Flying Swords, so he naturally kept them all.

Jiang Liyuan looked carefully, took out a large seal and a small tripod from them, and said with a smile, "This old man has made his choice."
