Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#679 - Chapter 678: Easy to Take

Zhou Tianbao and the "Junior Brother Lin" who discovered Zhang Yuanjing's cave sprinted wildly, fleeing for tens of thousands of miles before stopping at the mountainside of a mountain range.

This mountain was ordinary, without the nourishment of a major spiritual vein, and only had some low-level demonic beasts, which couldn't detect their traces at all.

After Zhang Yuanjing escaped from Wind and Thunder Gorge, he drilled out of the ground and tracked them all the way from the ground. He relied on Zhang San's spiritual sense to track, always staying seventy or eighty miles behind them.

When the two stopped moving, he drilled into the ground again, covered himself with the ancient treasure "Sky Concealer," and quietly遁遁 to a dozen feet beneath them.

"Senior Brother Zhou, the Hengduan Mountains are truly abundant in spiritual objects. Even on this seemingly barren mountain range, there are several Xuan-grade spiritual herbs. It's a pity they are occupied by the demon race," the Lin-surnamed cultivator said.

"Occupied? What's there to occupy? It's just temporarily deposited in the hands of the demon race. When we human cultivators want something, we can enter the mountains and pick it at any time. What can they do about it!"

Zhou Tianbao said disdainfully, "Junior Brother Lin, this is your first time in these Hengduan Mountains, so you think the demon race is powerful. No cultivator who has spent a few years in the Hengduan Mountains takes them seriously. Otherwise, how could the five Demon Suppression Cities be so prosperous? Even cultivators from the Eastern and Northern Regions cross the Central Region to come here."

The Lin-surnamed cultivator gave a dry laugh and said cautiously, "Senior Brother is right. So many demon beasts surround the city, but the Real Men come and go as they please, not worried that the demon beasts will break through the city. The Demon Suppression City is indeed as solid as a rock."

Zhou Tianbao chuckled, "Junior Brother Lin, there are some things you don't know. In the Demon Suppression City, the demon beasts seem to be fighting fiercely, but in reality, it's just a bluff. Especially those great demons, each of them is thinking about the treasures in their lairs, worried that someone will抄 their homes, so they are absent-minded and have no intention to fight hard.

"That Gu Hou great demon, with mid-Transformation stage strength, is said to be very strong in combat. Why doesn't it besiege the Demon Suppression City, but instead searches for spiritual objects in the mountains? Isn't it because this demon's clan is powerful, and it works under the demon saint, so it naturally occupies the advantage and enjoys more benefits. We are actually the same.

"Look at who is guarding the city? Nascent Soul cultivators from ordinary great sects, and those whose status is not prominent in the top ten sects. The sects of the few deacons in the Deacon Hall at most leave one person as a token. The remaining Nascent Souls have all left the city, nominally to threaten the demon's rear, but in reality, isn't it just to take the opportunity to search for spiritual objects!

"Junior Brother Lin, rest assured. With the strength of my Burning Sun Mountain, even super great sects have to give us some face. This time, following the two Real Men, just focus on snatching spiritual herbs, and don't worry about anything else."

Upon hearing these words, the Lin-surnamed cultivator quickly said, "Senior Brother's words have enlightened me. I know what to do now. I have gained a lot from visiting a few places this time, and I must thank Senior Brother for his guidance."

Zhou Tianbao said with a slightly smug expression, "As your senior brother, I should take care of you. In these Hengduan Mountains, I dare not say I can come and go freely, but I am familiar with the road. If the Real Men haven't found this place, you can follow me to the southern region. When the Real Men escape, they will definitely go there."

The Lin-surnamed cultivator flattered Zhou Tianbao a few times appropriately and then said, "Senior Brother Zhou, there should still be many Yin Lightning Fruits deep in the Thunder Valley, but unfortunately, the heavenly lightning seals it too tightly to get close. I wonder if there will be another opportunity to go there?"

Zhou Tianbao said as a matter of course, "Of course. We are not taking it today, not because we don't have the ability, but because we are temporarily depositing it here. I think the two Real Men are not incapable of going further, perhaps they have other considerations, so they withdrew from Thunder Valley first."

Zhang Yuanjing listened in the ground for half an hour, but never heard the two of them mention where their group came from.

Back then, this Zhou Tianbao and several Burning Sun Mountain Core Formation cultivators arrived at Tiannan City at the same time, but this person was very arrogant and did not take the Tiannan City's no-fly rules seriously. Only when threatened by the great formation did he lower his flying car. Later, someone on the city wall led him away, so he must have entered Tiannan City.

On the Tiannan City Lord's Mansion's flying boat that he and Fire Crow Daoist escorted, there was no such person. From this, it can be inferred that Zhou Tianbao most likely came directly from Tiannan City, and the two Burning Sun Mountain Real Men either arrived later or had already arrived in the city but did not show their faces. Zuo Dacheng of True Yang Sect didn't say anything either, so even Fire Crow Daoist didn't know.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but guess that Burning Sun Mountain and True Yang Sect might have secret connections. These two sects both use Yang-type cultivation methods as their foundation and have always been quite at odds.

That Zhou Tianbao once used Yang-attribute energy to burn the demon beast to ashes, but deliberately made it look like a spiritual fruit and called it "True Yang Palm," which sounded like he was clearly mocking True Yang Sect.

However, among great sects, benefits come first, and alliances and divisions are the most normal. Since True Yang Sect participated in the ambush at Bishi Mountain, if Burning Sun Mountain has any connection with it, then it is necessary to be more vigilant against this sect.

After waiting for half an hour and seeing that the two of them said almost nothing of value, Zhang Yuanjing quietly moved closer to the ground. He tracked Zhou Tianbao and the other for two reasons: to eavesdrop on secrets and to seize the Yin Lightning Fruit.

After Zhang San confirmed that there were no Real Men or great demons within a hundred miles, he suddenly rushed out of the ground beside the two of them. At the same time, the Refined Yang Umbrella enveloped the two of them in a dim light, giving them no chance to react.

Almost in an instant, the spirits of the two of them fell into a stupor, losing control of themselves.

"Master, should we kill these two people?" Zhang San asked.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, "Forget it, they didn't see me anyway. Let them live. Now, during this great war between the demon race and the human race, these two remaining in the Hengduan Mountains can kill a few more demon beasts."

He reached out and took off the two's storage bracelets, forcibly breaking the spiritual power marks and carefully examining them.

The Lin-surnamed cultivator was fine. Although he had many treasures, they were ordinary. But Zhou Tianbao's storage bracelet was dazzling. There were at least twenty Xuan-grade third-rank or higher spiritual herbs and fruits, and there were also many spiritual stones, pills, and talismans.

He naturally accepted them all with a smile, leaving behind only magic treasures and other easily identifiable items.

These two had gained a lot from their trip to Thunder Valley. The Lin-surnamed cultivator obtained two Xuan-grade third-rank Yin Lightning Fruit trees and one fourth-rank tree, while Zhou Tianbao obtained three fourth-rank trees. The four fourth-rank fruit trees had as many as seventeen Yin Lightning Fruits. These spiritual fruits, plus what he had obtained before, were enough for him to raise his cultivation to the Great Perfection stage with plenty to spare.

He hesitated for a moment and then took out the cauldron-shaped magic treasure that the two used to avoid lightning. This item was so unique that it would be dangerous to carry it with him, but he was quite curious about the depths of Thunder Valley and wanted to go inside to see it himself. Therefore, after thinking it over again and again, he still took the risk and took it away.

"Let's go, Zhang San!"

He waved his hand, put the Refined Yang Umbrella into his storage bracelet, and instantly drilled into the ground, hiding hundreds of feet below, using the Sky Concealer to conceal his aura.

Zhou Tianbao and the Lin-surnamed cultivator quickly woke up, as if they had had a dream in broad daylight. However, the two storage bracelets thrown on the ground clearly told them that they had been robbed!
