47: Chapter 47 Leave Quickly
Then there was the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator whose head had been severed, and finally, the Yun Family Cultivator.
After all, the Yun Family Cultivator's mana had already been mostly absorbed by him; by the time he tried to absorb it again, there wouldn't be much left for himself.
The others had already finished cleaning up the battlefield. Bai Yushuang said, "Boss, there are no strong experts approaching for the moment, but we had better leave this place as soon as possible."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Let's go. First, find a hidden place to recover our cultivation. Once our cultivation is recovered, we will check the spoils of war."
The five people including Ouyang Longfei did not object. The battle just now looked like they had won, and won easily, but if it weren't for Li Daoxuan, they would have died who knows how many times already.
Don't be fooled by how Li Daoxuan looks like nothing happened; he has actually suffered serious injuries. Attacks from a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator are not so easy to endure.
The group followed Li Daoxuan, moving rapidly in one direction.
Bai Yushuang was scouting ahead; her nose was extremely sensitive and could detect whether there were any enemies or powerful creatures, allowing them to avoid pursuit.
By this time, the five, including Bai Yushuang, were already completely filled with admiration for Li Daoxuan. Three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators had been dealt with just like that—this was something they dared not even imagine.
Ming Ya sent a voice transmission, "We followed the right person this time; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."
Zhou Qing replied via voice transmission, "Indeed, if not for him, we truly wouldn't have escaped. Three Foundation Establishment Stage experts!"
Ming Ya continued the transmission, "Let's follow him well from now on; perhaps we will have a chance to reach the Golden Core Stage in the future."
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly. That's thinking too far ahead, isn't it? That is a Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor, an existence with a lifespan of up to six hundred years—something they didn't even dare to dream of.
But he quickly became excited. They were only forty or fifty years old now. After a Foundation Establishment, they would have over two hundred more years. Achieving the Golden Core Stage in that much time didn't seem impossible after all.
Although they were Loose Cultivators, the talent of The Zhou couple was not bad, and they were practicing a Dual Cultivation Technique, so it was normal for their speed to be fast.
Reaching the Ninth Level of Qi Refining at forty or fifty years old was something many Family Cultivators dared not imagine.
Soon, a hidden valley appeared before their eyes; this was a place Li Daoxuan often used to hide in the past, and it was very safe.
There were many caves in the valley, some natural and some man-made.
After everyone entered, they were astonished, because in one of the most inconspicuous caves, there was a giant boulder.
After Li Daoxuan had them move the boulder, inside was a small Immortal Cave, fully equipped with furniture and the like, much like a house in the secular world.
Jiang Liyuan asked in surprise, "Boss, this wouldn't happen to be your secret residence, would it?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows, after all. For the sake of safety, I have many such Immortal Caves."
"Hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. How cautious and how afraid of death must one be to do something like this?
However, the way they looked at Li Daoxuan was filled with admiration. Li Daoxuan's cultivation was quite good, and with such caution, he would definitely be able to live longer.
As long as one lives long enough, there might be a chance to Breakthrough to a higher Realm.
Everyone didn't say much more, found a place to sit down, and began to recover their cultivation.
Three Foundation Establishment Stage experts had died, causing quite a commotion outside, especially among the three immortal cultivation Families.
The Zhao Family and Wang Family were fine; they had more than one or two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, but the Yun Family was left with only a single surviving seedling who had just come out to preside over the Family.
Because of this, many Families turned their spearheads toward the Yun Family. As for investigating the murderer, forget it; no one dared, after all, three Foundation Establishment Stage experts had died there.
If the opponent wasn't a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, it wouldn't make sense. Plus, the aura left behind there indicated there were definitely more than five people.
What kind of organization had so many strong experts? They knew without saying; it was likely experts from some School.
Since the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yun Family and Wang Family had pursued the killers, it meant there were Sect experts involved in this operation.
Otherwise, those Loose Cultivators would never have been able to kill the Family Cultivators.
They speculated about exactly which Sect it was, and in the end, they all pointed their fingers at the three great Demonic Sects of the Moyuan Kingdom.
In the secret Immortal Cave, it took Li Daoxuan seven or eight days before his injuries stabilized.
By this time, the others were already waiting.
The others had only exhausted their mana and did not have very serious injuries.
Only Li Daoxuan was seriously injured because he had taken the attack from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
To recover from such injuries, it would take another half a year.
Half a year is not considered long for a Cultivator, especially since Li Daoxuan and the others still needed to find a way to exchange the resources in their hands for foundation establishment pills.
The Zhou couple and Jiang Liyuan had the medicinal materials for foundation establishment pills; if they took them directly to a large School to exchange, they would each be able to get one foundation establishment pill.
But after exchanging them, whether they could leave the range of the large School alive was not certain.
Therefore, they were all prepared to wait until Li Daoxuan's injuries healed before exchanging them; Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were not Li Daoxuan's match.
By then, even if they had exchanged for the foundation establishment pills, they would be able to escape from there safely.
In fact, as long as one person succeeded in Foundation Establishment, they wouldn't need to worry about being hunted by those large School Cultivators.
Golden Core Old Ancestors wouldn't do such a thing, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators would need to weigh the consequences before trying to hunt them down.
Li Daoxuan said, "Since everything is fine now, let's return to Yunding Peak first. Do any of you need to return to your original Immortal Caves to prepare anything?"
The Zhou couple shook their heads. They had been Cultivating for so long and had no descendants or offspring; they had no ties and no need to return.
Jiang Liyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, I still have a granddaughter, and I plan to go back and bring her here."
Li Daoxuan nodded, his gaze turning to Ouyang Longfei and Bai Yushuang.
Bai Yushuang shook her head and said, "I am just a lone person; wherever Boss goes, I go."
Ouyang Longfei said, "Me too, I am all alone."
Loose Cultivators were basically all alone; very few had a granddaughter like Jiang Liyuan. However, Li Daoxuan didn't mind them having their own forces, as long as they didn't betray him.
According to his thoughts, it would be even better if these five subordinates possessed powerful forces.
If they possessed powerful forces, it would be much more convenient for Li Daoxuan no matter what he did.
Especially after the Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had to absorb the mana of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Having him alone inquire about where there were Foundation Establishment Cultivators was certainly not as convenient as having many people inquire.
Next, once they reached Yunding Peak, he would heal his injuries while cultivating the centennial spirit milk.
The cultivation of the centennial spirit milk would also take a year or six months; in any case, it was impossible to complete in the short term.
Thinking of the ten drops of centennial spirit milk, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but smile.
Ten drops of centennial spirit milk were completely enough for his Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and with one hundred percent certainty.
Perhaps for others, one drop of centennial spirit milk had an eighty or ninety percent success rate, but for him, it was only ten or twenty percent.
Normally, Li Daoxuan only needed six drops, but for the sake of insurance, ten drops were better.
Even if one drop only had a ten percent success rate, then ten drops would be a ten-out-of-ten success rate.
Li Daoxuan was not a person who liked to take risks; otherwise, when looking for targets, he wouldn't only search for Cultivators with lower cultivation than himself.
Jiang Liyuan said, "Boss, you all return to Yunding Peak first. If I travel at full speed, it will take me three months. We will meet at Yunding Peak then."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Be careful on the way. The Plain Secret Realm has just ended, and it is the most dangerous moment; prioritize your life above all else."
"Yes, Boss."
