Chapter 26: The Robber Cultivator Delivers Treasure
Funiu Mountain.
As its name suggests, the mountain resembles an old ox lying on the ground, with four branches winding out like the ox's hooves rising and falling.
Between the two highest peaks, a river flows along the ridge, forming a shimmering "cow's tail" on the land.
The Niu family's ancestral land is located in the center of the mountain, nestled against the mountain and beside the water, with four branches forming a basin.
This place contains a first-grade high-level spiritual vein, barely enough to support a Qi-refining family.
Unfortunately, the Niu family, which had a certain reputation, has suffered a calamity today.
The hundred-foot-long warship rumbled past, crushing the sky, and descended upon this land.
The valley was shrouded in an array, densely covered with runes, making it impossible to enter or leave.
Fang Yaode looked down and waved his hand: "Disperse and search the surrounding area for any fellow cultivators who have fallen into the trap."
As soon as he finished speaking, ten cultivators flew out in spirit boats, their eyes flashing like lightning, and began a thorough search.
"My lord, I can contact the clan elders to activate the formation..."
Niu Ben spoke cautiously.
"Too much trouble, a waste of time. Let's just blast the formation open."
Fang Yaode was not joking; the entire warship began to glow, releasing a thick pillar of energy.
boom!!
The energy pillar struck the surface of the array with a loud bang, rippling with intense light in the shape of water waves.
The next moment, with unstoppable momentum, the Niu family's formation was directly shattered into pieces!
San Niu Zi was completely shocked and couldn't help but look at the young master and Brother Lu.
Fang Yun shrugged, giving him a helpless look.
The dazzling light faded, revealing the interior of the valley.
The houses collapsed, the brick walls crumbled, and only two or three of the Niu family's late-stage Qi Refining elders remained.
call out! !
The moment the great formation broke, the cultivator quickly took out his flying boat and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.
Fang Yaode remained expressionless, took out a large seal burning with flames, and smashed it down with a bang.
As expected of a man who has broken through the Foundation Establishment barrier, his casual strike unleashed unimaginable power.
Although both are at the perfected Qi Refining stage, this Tribulation Cultivator is no match for Fang Yaode in terms of both magical artifact cultivation and skill.
He let out a defiant roar and unleashed many magical talismans, but they were all burned to nothingness by the flames on the seal.
Finally, with a bang.
The Crimson Fire Seal smashed his head, leaving him lying dead on the spot.
Fang Yaode remained vigilant, wary of any potential attacks from the mastermind behind the scenes.
One breath... ten breaths...
Even after half an incense stick's time had passed, nothing had happened.
The Fang family cultivators who had been scouting the surroundings all returned, and found nothing unusual.
"Could it be... that it was really just an ordinary Tribulation cultivator causing trouble, without any Foundation Establishment family intervening behind the scenes?"
Fang Yaode fell into deep self-doubt.
"Sir, may I go down now?"
Niu Ben mustered his courage, wondering what this important figure from the Fang family was thinking.
The enemy has clearly been completely wiped out!
Fang Yaode finally realized that he had made a blunder and was a little embarrassed.
"The Niu family has suffered such a heavy blow, it is time for them to recuperate. Therefore, we will exempt you from the family offerings for the next ten to fifteen years."
Fang Yaode coughed and said, "Brother Fang Yun, you two stay here to clean up the mess. I have things to do in the market, so I'll head back first."
"Brother Dao, what about the spoils of war from that Tribulation Cultivator..."
Fang Yun reminded him that he always followed the rules and could avoid many disputes in advance.
"It's yours."
Fang Yaode waved his hand dismissively.
What good things could a down-on-his-luck rogue cultivator possibly have?
As the three watched, the warship hummed and disappeared from sight.
It seems to be moving even faster than when it arrived.
"We were able to defeat the enemy without having to fight them personally, so this mission can be considered a complete success."
Fang Yun was satisfied.
He hates fighting to the death with others. Isn't it better to live a peaceful and stable life?
The group entered the valley and began treating the wounded.
This cultivator was truly ruthless. He suddenly attacked and killed people, beheading the most powerful member of the Niu family.
It was premeditated, with a clear objective: to exterminate the entire Funiu Mountain clan!
The Niu family suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Niu Ben, who had reached the sixth level of Body Refinement, was actually the only remaining expert in the clan.
After settling the wounded, the three found Jie Xiu's body and surrounded it.
"If San Niuzi wants to revitalize the family in the future, he will take 50% of it, and we'll split the rest equally."
Lu Guishou hadn't contributed much, so he was quite satisfied with the distribution ratio.
Fang Yun opened the storage bag, preparing to take out everything inside.
One by one, the treasures came into view, but they were somewhat disappointing.
All the magical artifacts and flying boats combined are probably only worth four or five hundred spirit stones.
It doesn't quite match his wealth, which is at the peak of his spiritual cultivation.
Suddenly, a strange object caught Fang Yun's attention.
It was a snow-white skull, similar in appearance to a human bone, but with a prominent bird beak and fine, sharp teeth.
It gives people a strange sense of harmony.
The moment Fang Yun's spiritual sense touched the skull.
It was like the tolling of a great bell, accompanied by the roar of ten thousand beasts, and several ancient characters with a sinister aura appeared in my mind.
Demon Spirit Foundation Building Technique!
Fang Yun's thoughts paused for a moment, followed by ecstasy.
Lucky you!
He wanted to continue his research, but no matter how he tried to stimulate it, only those five words appeared.
No more scriptures appeared.
Fang Yun did not hide anything and took out the bone first, handing it over to Lu Guishou and the others for study.
The two were naturally overjoyed upon seeing these five words.
Anything related to Foundation Building can fetch an astronomical price!
They quickly found the right way to activate it.
The cultivator's storage bag contained a lot of fresh demonic beast blood.
As long as it is poured onto the skull, it will generate a blood-red mist, which will then evolve into an ancient and strange demonic spell.
Human cultivators face great difficulty in establishing their foundation; this method is a shortcut.
It requires killing a Foundation Establishment demon beast, using a human body as a furnace, and magic power as fire.
The flesh, blood, and soul of a demon beast are melted down and used as fuel to cross natural barriers, thus condensing a unique demonic foundation for oneself!
Fang Yun had heard of it before.
Those who have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment can refine a third-tier demon core and integrate it into their own body; they are called pseudo-core cultivators.
There is a significant difference between him and a true Golden Elixir Master.
By analogy, cultivators who use this demonic method to build their foundation should perhaps be called "fake foundation cultivators".
Taking shortcuts naturally comes at a high price.
A Foundation Establisher of a Demon Spirit has all their magical power derived from demon beasts, and will never have the possibility of further advancement.
In addition, lifespan will also be affected, and one can only live for a maximum of three cycles of sixty years.
It takes a full sixty years less than the orthodox Foundation Establishment!
Even so, this Foundation Establishment Demonic Technique can still drive countless Qi Refining cultivators mad!
"San Niu Zi, the origin of this method is a mystery. Go to the clan and find out the background of this cultivator, so as not to involve any forces that we cannot afford to offend."
Fang Yun and Lu Guishou decided to stay in Funiu Mountain for a few days.
The treasure is wonderful, but it's also very hot to handle; one must be alive to enjoy it.
Around dusk, Niu Ben returned and quietly slipped into the two's room.
He asked the surviving elders and easily got the answer.
Find out how this thief infiltrated the Niu family and became a family retainer.
