349: Guarding the home, opportunities among the ruins!

When Sword Born Flying Feather heard Lü Chengtian's words, he was instantly enraged!

"What the hell did you tell me before? Didn't you say you didn't need me to interfere? You said you had your own plans, and now you want me to go guard your home? You damn Old man, you think quite highly of yourself. Do you really think a mere ten Spirit Rank Magic Treasures can hire me for that long? Keep dreaming!"

Lü Chengtian scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment. He asked himself, if someone offered him these terms to help guard their home, he probably wouldn't agree either. Thus, he continued:

"How about... I add two more Elementary Dao Grade Magic Treasures!"

"No way, absolutely not! If I go to guard your home, what happens to my own Chiyun Sword Sect? If the other side attacks, won't I be finished?"

"Also, are you sick in the head? What kind of Sect leader personally heads to the ruins? Do you know what could happen inside the Sect if you don't return for a year?"

"Weren't you very shrewd before? How did you become so stupid now? If I didn't still recognize you, I would really suspect you had undergone Possession!"

Lü Chengtian's face flushed red and turned pale from Sword Born Flying Feather's retort. He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Fifteen Spirit Rank Magic Treasures, plus three Elementary Dao Grade Magic Treasures. That is my bottom line! Just tell me, are you going to help or not!"

"My entry into the ruins this time indeed has unavoidable factors. Later, when the timing is right, I will naturally explain it to you."

"But right now, you have to help me. Your Chiyun Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation is intact, and your main forces are all still there, so it is highly unlikely that others will target you. But my Wuji Pavilion is different!"

"Now, everyone outside knows that my Wuji Pavilion's Sect Protecting Grand Formation has greatly decreased in effectiveness, and the Grand Elder has gone into the ruins. This is the period when my Wuji Pavilion is at its most vulnerable. If they want to strike, they will only choose my Wuji Pavilion!"

"If Wuji Pavilion suffers a heavy blow, the next one will be Chiyun Sword Sect. Don't you understand the logic that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold?"

Sword Born Flying Feather felt his teeth itch as he listened:

"You old immortal, you know this, yet you still play like this?"

"Didn't I say it was a last resort? I promise you, once the ruins are finished, I will definitely repay your Chiyun Sword Sect, and it will be far more than you imagine!"

Sword Born Flying Feather was silent for a long time... Although he was very angry, what Lü Chengtian said was indeed correct. Once something happened to Wuji Pavilion, it would inevitably affect the whole body, and the situation in the entire Thousand Stars State might change drastically because of it!

If it truly reached that point, things would be troublesome, and their dream of restructuring the Origin Heart would become even more distant!

Therefore, after a brief period of thought, Sword Born Flying Feather said through gritted teeth:

"Fine! I will go to guard Wuji Pavilion! But I can only guarantee to do my best; if the situation becomes untenable, I will retreat!"

Lü Chengtian excitedly cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Sword Master! Truly, one sees true feelings in times of adversity."

"I'm hanging up!"

After Sword Born Flying Feather finished speaking, he immediately cut off the connection. He always acted with lightning speed, so he headed straight for Wuji Pavilion immediately, not even waiting for the Second Elder.

Lü Chengtian finally breathed a sigh of relief on his side:

"I can be a little more at ease now. With Sword Born Flying Feather watching over it, there shouldn't be any big problems."

Wuji Old Ancestor said from the side:

"We still need to pay close attention to the situation at Wuji Pavilion. If there is really any movement, we must report to the Master in time. Perhaps he really has some means."

"Understood, Old Ancestor!"

...

Lu Hao followed the Yi Tian Alliance's army into the ruins.

As soon as he stepped into the ruins, Lu Hao smelled a faint, rotten odor. It was likely the result of various Yao Beasts and various plants soaking in the Devouring Demon Sea water for a long time.

Perhaps there were even Yao Beasts that died a hundred thousand years ago among them.

At the same time, Lu Hao also felt the aerial restriction force from the Devouring Demon Sea here. In other words, within the ruins, Cultivators were suppressed and unable to fly.

As for whether he could fly, Lu Hao secretly tried it slightly. Just like on the Devouring Demon Sea, he could fly for a short distance, but when flying, the spiritual power within his body would be consumed very quickly.

After entering the ruins, Lu Xiaolong was a bit curious and looked around. Suddenly, he sensed a palpitation in his heart, causing his heart to tighten involuntarily.

He immediately looked around, but that feeling had already disappeared. Subsequently, he felt a pungent smell wafting over:

"Wow, Daddy, it's a bit smelly inside these ruins!"

Lu Xiaolong shouted from the ox's back.

Zhuo Yongyi heard this and said with a smile:

"Xiaolong, this is the normal smell of the ruins. After all, the ruins only open once in a very long time. It will probably dissipate in a few days."

"Let's go. Follow the Alliance Master to find a wider place to use as a base, and then we can go out to search for Opportunity."

Lu Xiaolong asked curiously:

"Captain Zhuo, what kind of Opportunity is there inside?"

Zhuo Yongyi patiently explained to Lu Xiaolong:

"There is a lot of Opportunity inside. The most common one is Immortal Qi. The uses of Immortal Qi are immense; it can help cultivation to temper the Physical Body, or enhance one's insights into the Origin, and it can also be used to increase the probability of breaking through a Bottleneck. Therefore, every Cultivator who enters the ruins will try to find a way to get some Immortal Qi."

"The simplest way to obtain Immortal Qi is to kill Immortal Demon Beasts. Immortal Demon Beasts are Yao Beasts that have lived in the ruins for a long time and have mutated due to being tainted by Immortal Qi. Therefore, their bodies contain extremely thin Immortal Qi."

"Although this content is very small, if one accumulates a certain amount of Immortal Demon Beast corpses, it is still possible to refine a certain amount of Immortal Qi."

"Of course, if a Cultivator's luck is Heaven-Defying enough, by searching for Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicine in the ruins, one can also obtain a large amount of Immortal Qi."

"It's just that those Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicine were all evolved from various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine by absorbing Immortal Qi. They are already very rare, and coupled with the searching of countless Cultivators, the quantity is becoming fewer and fewer now."

"But regardless, about ten or so Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicine will appear every time. As for the last type of thing, it is what all Cultivators crave, but it is generally impossible to find."

Lu Xiaolong asked eagerly:

"What is the last type?"

"Immortal Blood!"

Once these words were spoken, Lu Hao also became interested:

"Immortal Blood? Is there Immortal Blood in here?"

"Of course. Back then, two peerless experts fought to the death, fighting until the sky went dark and the earth went dim. Immortal Blood was scattered everywhere, falling into the ground. Because the ruins were their main battlefield, the amount of Immortal Blood here is the greatest."

"Immortal Blood not only contains massive amounts of Immortal Qi, but more importantly, it also contains a trace of the Dao insights of an Immortal, which is of immense, immense help to Cultivators! Over the past hundred thousand years, every appearance of Immortal Blood has caused countless Cultivators to fight and struggle for it!"

Lu Hao said softly:

"So that's how it is."
