Chapter 206: Zhu Family's "Huanyuan Peak"
In his previous life, he had some understanding of the bloodline inheritance of the demon race.
The main bloodline of the demon race is inherited.
The higher the level of the demon beast, the more powerful its bloodline inheritance.
In fact, some high-level spirit beasts have offspring that are born with innate supernatural abilities.
It's not just this simple skill.
Xiao Bing only has a third-tier bloodline, so she cannot awaken her innate divine abilities.
One must awaken step by step, relying on one's own innate skills as a foundation, and thus cultivate them into supernatural powers.
In addition, Xiao Bing's "Breaking Restrictions Talent" has also been improved, allowing her to break through second-tier array restrictions.
Having learned this information, Yang Jiuli withdrew his divine sense.
"Inherited talent 'Frozen Hundred Meters'... Soul attack 'Ice Spike'..." Yang Jiuli murmured.
"With these two innate skills, Xiao Bing can already overpower those of the same level."
He was quite satisfied with this.
They then left the secret realm together.
In the days that followed, Yang Jiuli and Xiao Bing would occasionally go to the near-third-tier cold cave to condense the cold energy and consolidate their cultivation.
……
The path to immortality is long, and time flies by in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Jiuli had been at the Ye family's residence for over eight months.
February 11th.
clear.
Yang Jiuli received a letter from Qin Zhixue.
In the letter, Qin Zhixue mentioned that she would do her best to help Yang Jiuli find materials.
Clearly, Qin Zhixue, who had studied array formation techniques for many years, had figured out after sorting through the materials in the letters that Ninth Brother was going to refine a near-third-order array. Knowing that the latter would be of great use, she was very concerned about this matter.
At the same time, she was also quite happy.
From these materials, she discovered the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array" and the "Taiyin Soul Cleansing Pill".
For her, this was tantamount to receiving a legacy.
The "Taiyin Soul Cleansing Pill" can enhance spiritual power, and it would greatly benefit her if she took it.
The "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation" has been successfully crafted, and she can also use it to defend against enemies.
This undoubtedly adds a few more cards to their deck.
In fact, Qin Zhixue was increasingly looking forward to her future interactions with Ninth Brother.
Perhaps more surprises await her.
In addition, Qin Zhixue also mentioned that Li Hongtai had been in seclusion for more than three years and had finally succeeded in cultivating his first innate divine power.
This can be considered as a complete consolidation of his cultivation at the early stage of Core Formation.
If he doesn't develop supernatural powers, he'll only be slightly stronger than a fake Core Formation cultivator.
"Li Hongtai has successfully cultivated his first innate divine power!" Upon receiving this news, Yang Jiuli murmured to himself.
It takes three years to cultivate the first innate divine power, which is not slow at all.
In fact, many Core Formation cultivators may not be able to cultivate their first innate divine ability even after 5 to 8 years.
Of course, this is also because the first innate divine power was based on the primordial foundation.
During the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators gain some insight into the profound mysteries of the Immortal Foundation, which is why they can cultivate their first innate divine power relatively quickly after forming their core.
However, the second supernatural power is undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier for these Void Core cultivators.
It requires a lot of time to understand and practice.
The reason is simple...
The reason is that cultivators who only integrate the "Human Flower" into their core cannot easily cultivate the profound mysteries of the "Earth Flower" into supernatural powers.
For a True Core cultivator, it would be much easier.
Yang Jiuli's eyes lit up after reading the rest of the letter.
The letter mentioned that after Li Hongtai mastered his first supernatural power, he personally went to the Jinxia Sect to demand an explanation.
Accompanying him were Lu Xingsan, a Core Formation Real Person from the Taibai Immortal Sect, and Wanyue Real Person from the Ice River Valley.
In addition, the Mu clan, as well as the Yun and Murong clans, all sent cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage to accompany them.
Seeing the arrival of the three major immortal sects, the three Core Formation cultivators of the Golden Cloud Sect all turned ashen-faced.
Finally, Li Hongtai presented compelling evidence of the Jinxia Sect's surprise attack on the Li family of Yunmeng Lake and Black Wind City, demanding an explanation from the latter.
Faced with pressure from the three major immortal sects and compelling evidence, the Golden Cloud Sect had no choice but to compromise and make compensation.
First, Jin Xiamen handed over Jin Yaowen.
This person was killed in front of everyone.
Secondly, the Jinxia Sect compensated the Li family of Yunmeng Lake with 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones, causing them considerable financial distress.
Of those, 20% of the spirit stones went into the Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
Thirty percent of the spirit stones went to the Mu family.
Yicheng joined the Yun family.
Yicheng joined the Murong clan.
Li Hongtai only received 30%.
As for how many of the Li family members in Yunmeng Lake will be able to reach, only Li Ruoyu himself knows!
Yang Jiuli was not surprised by the division of these spirit stones.
After all, the Azure Flame Immortal Sect has stood up for Li Hongtai in recent years. Just activating the third-order formation and the third-order treasure ship cost them more than 100,000 spirit stones. The fact that they could still leave 30% to Li Hongtai was already because of his advancement to the Core Formation True Person realm.
Of course, the Azure Flame Immortal Sect also benefited greatly from this move.
In addition to the two points mentioned above, the Golden Cloud Sect and the Azure Flame Immortal Sect have also confirmed that the ownership of the disputed third-order mineral vein belongs to the latter.
Thus, the struggle between the Golden Cloud Sect and the Azure Flame Immortal Sect finally came to a temporary end due to Li Hongtai's successful formation of his core.
……
See the information above.
Yang Jiuli took a deep breath and sighed once again, emphasizing the importance of strength.
At the same time, he secretly praised Li Hongtai's strategic planning.
If it weren't for Li Hongtai's ability to make choices, he would have handed over the "Replenishing Vitality and Correcting Self Pill Formula" to Mu Jinchuan in exchange for protection.
If he hadn't made prior arrangements and cooperated with the Taibai Immortal Sect...
If he hadn't given up a third-tier pill to allow 'Master Xuan Shui' to oversee Yunmeng Lake...
He also found it difficult to form his core so smoothly.
After all, the formation of the Golden Core is also closely related to one's state of mind.
If one knows that the family will be in danger of destruction when one forms the Golden Core, how easy is it to remain calm and composed?
Unless one is heartless and abandons love.
Even so, he would inevitably develop inner demons, find it difficult to calm his mind, and thus affect his core formation.
Not to mention the Taibai Immortal Sect and the Jinxia Sect joining forces to attack!
Any mishap, no matter which aspect, would be enough to cause him to fail in his Core Formation.
After all, forming the core is extremely taxing on the mind and spirit, and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. If one is not careful, the core will be destroyed and the person will die.
But he succeeded.
This is enough to show that this person is a ruthless and ambitious figure.
In addition, Li Hongtai is also a vengeful person. He had previously endured and waited until he had accumulated enough strength to settle scores later.
Yang Jiuli naturally kept his distance from such a person and did not want to have too much interaction with him.
His decision to leave Yunmeng Lake was clearly a wise one.
Otherwise, dealing with such a person would only add more variables.
At this time, it would be even better to consolidate one's cultivation at Yang Jiuli's "Lingxi Peak" and wait for the opportunity to establish one's foundation.
Yang Jiuli replied to Qin Zhixue, asking her to gather some medicinal herbs and refine them herself, thereby exchanging them for materials.
After receiving the letter, Qin Zhixue secretly sent Lu Wenqing to Lingxi Peak.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Jiuli handed over the second-tier pills he had recently refined to Lu Wenqing, so that he could take them to Ice River Immortal City to exchange for medicinal materials.
With Qin Zhixue as a channel, Yang Jiuli will save a lot of effort in collecting medicinal materials for alchemy and materials for formations.
……
March 8th.
Nanling Mountains.
The area surrounding the Seventy-Two Peaks is located to the south, near the Yue Kingdom region.
Above a mountain range.
Three streaks of rainbow light streaked across the void, flying rapidly southward.
Upon closer inspection, the leading rainbow light was actually a woman in a purple dress riding a white crane at high speed.
A second-tier low-grade "Swift Wind Talisman" was also attached to the white crane, making its flight speed approach that of a second-tier demonic bird.
If Yang Jiuli were here, he would recognize that the woman riding the white crane was the one who had twice come to Black Wind City to seek his cooperation.
A woman who claimed to be surnamed Qin.
He was behind the woman in the purple dress at this moment.
A mid-grade second-tier "Flowing Cloud Treasure Ship" is rapidly pursuing them, carried by the clouds.
Although this treasure ship is not a flying bird, it is engraved with mysterious runes. The "cloud wings" on both sides of the ship flutter and stir up wisps of clouds, making it fly faster than the "white crane" in the late stage of the first rank.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, less than thirty feet. In a moment, the treasure ship would catch up with the white crane.
On the treasure ship stood a middle-aged man dressed in a cloud-patterned robe and wearing a jade crown. His eyebrows were thick and as black as ink.
Those eyes were deep, with a hint of sinister and ruthless light flashing within them.
When it looks ahead, it's like a ferocious, hungry wolf staring at a white rabbit, yet there's a hint of burning desire in its eyes.
Such a gaze sends chills down one's spine.
Beside the man stood a beautiful and alluring woman.
The woman, with alluring eyes, stood three feet away from the middle-aged man.
At this moment, when she looked at the woman in the purple dress riding a white crane in front of her, a playful smile appeared in her eyes.
"Sister Yaqin, stop running! Your white crane is just a first-tier demonic bird. Even with the aid of a second-tier 'Swift Wind Talisman,' its speed can barely match that of a second-tier demonic bird. How can it compare to my 'Fu Lang's' second-tier mid-grade spiritual weapon, the 'Wind and Cloud Treasure Ship'?"
"Now that you've surrendered, I can plead with 'Fu Lang' on your behalf, out of consideration for our shared clan, and let you become his concubine. Otherwise, if 'Fu Lang' were to make a move, I'm afraid he would be ruthless and feed you to his 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard'."
The alluring woman spoke slowly, her words captivating and melodious, yet carrying a murderous intent.
The woman riding the white crane ahead, upon hearing this, looked on with anger.
She turned around and gritted her teeth, saying, "Zhu Yulin, it's a shame you still know I'm your cousin."
This Fu Yun is a heartless scoundrel. He was originally the son-in-law of the Zhu family of Huanyuan Peak, yet he slaughtered more than a hundred of my clansmen and seized my property...
We, as members of the Zhu family, have an irreconcilable hatred for you. Yet, you not only fail to remember this grudge but also share a bed with your enemy. If you have any conscience left, you should join forces with me to eliminate this foe and revive the Zhu family.
Surprisingly, the woman riding the white crane was not surnamed Qin.
Her surname is Zhu, and she is a direct descendant of the Zhu family of Huanyuan Peak, one of the seventy-two peaks of Nanling.
However, because Fu Yun, the son-in-law of the clan, murdered the master's family, he was forced to live in exile.
The alluring woman was named Zhu Yulin, a direct descendant of the Zhu family of Huanyuan Peak.
However, after Huanyuan Peak was taken away, she became the concubine of her enemy, Fu Yun.
"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. The Zhu family has long been corrupt and its demise was only a matter of time. Fu Lang has merely accelerated the process," Zhu Yulin said.
"Born into this world, just surviving is already difficult enough. Why be so persistent, sister? Why should we women care about family continuation or the inheritance of incense? Sister, listen to my advice: your Foundation Establishment is not easy. Don't ruin your future."
"It seems you are beyond saving. As a member of the Zhu family of Huanyuan Peak, I, Zhu Yaqin, will never associate with my enemies!" Zhu Yaqin snorted coldly, then made a hand gesture and affixed a second-tier 'Swift Wind Talisman' to the belly of the white crane beneath her.
The talisman's light patterns flickered, and a gust of wind immediately howled, increasing the white crane's speed by three points.
Soon, she had increased the distance between herself and the treasure ship behind her by another three zhang.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how many second-tier 'Swift Wind Talismans' you still have left to use!" Fu Yun sneered on the treasure ship.
He stroked his short beard, a mocking expression on his face, but he wasn't in a hurry to catch up with Zhu Yaqin.
He was like a wolf hunting its prey.
