Chapter 60 Cave Mansion

"What has your Qingming Sect done?"

Cheng Lin's voice trembled as he desperately tried to get up from the ground, but Wang Miao stomped heavily on his back.

Wang Miao's ritual implement was an iron hook. He used the implement to hook Cheng Lin's neck and then twist it forcefully.

"Don't be our enemy in your next life."

With a forceful pull, Cheng Lin's head was ripped off, blood splattering everywhere and filling the surroundings with a stench of blood.

After killing Cheng Lin, Wang Miao immediately turned his attention to the other cultivators. He did not notice that Cheng Lin's remains had not appeared, and that his blood was being rapidly swallowed by the ground.

"What did they do?"

Xu Yuanlang could see clearly that the two were actually of similar strength, but the rogue cultivator was completely powerless to resist in the fight.

"As far as I know, large sects will deliberately leak out some cultivation techniques for independent cultivators to practice. These techniques are always much better than the common ones."

Therefore, they are very popular among independent cultivators, but in reality, these techniques are often tampered with, and it's considered good if they are deliberately left with hidden flaws.

Some were even modified to be countered by special spiritual power, which often came from the core techniques of the sect, and were also the techniques practiced by the core disciples.

Once the two sides meet, it's a one-sided situation.

After hearing Ouyang Yue's explanation, he suddenly realized what was going on. Looking at the two people in front of him, no, at the Qingming Sect behind him, a chill ran through him.

Not only cultivation techniques, but also various magical artifacts, pills, formations, and so on. Wouldn't the Qingming Sect have left some backup plans among them? If I were to encounter such an opponent in the future, how would I fight against him?

"You seem to know quite a lot."

Dong Tao hesitated for a moment when he looked at the calm Ouyang Yue. She had also suppressed her cultivation to enter the cave, just like him. If she were a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the vicinity of the Qingming Sect, he would definitely recognize her. But this person was a complete stranger.

Moreover, the person pointed out the sect's arrangements in cultivation techniques as soon as they met, so this person must be of extraordinary status. He was a little worried about provoking some cultivator he shouldn't have.

"Senior brother, you already have no future, why are you still so timid? If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly, otherwise why did we risk coming here?"

Wang Miao couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly reminded him loudly.

"right!"

Dong Tao gritted his teeth, preparing to eliminate the other cultivators here, when several more figures rushed into the golden light.

"Haha, I knew it! There was definitely treasure here... uh..."

"Why are there so many cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining?"

"Big sister, these people are not easy to deal with!"

The people who rushed in were both men and women, and their cultivation levels were all below the Qi Refining Perfection stage, meaning they were not Foundation Establishment cultivators who had suppressed their cultivation levels.

"Junior brother, let's not waste any more time. Let's go into the cave and take a look."

Dong Tao seized the opportunity to back down, no longer intending to provoke the mysterious Ouyang Yue. A fierce glint flashed across Wang Miao's face, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"what ever!"

With the two men ceasing their attack, the rest of the group finally had a chance to examine the cave properly.

Magnificent and resplendent, commanding from a high vantage point.

The cave is planted with tall pines and cypresses, and through the gaps, one can see the eaves and half of the roof in the distance.

Nearby are ancient jade steps, with plum and orchid flowers planted on both sides. The wavy jade steps disappear into the flowers. Further ahead is an exquisite waterside pavilion, with a pair of carved windows that seem to watch over everyone like eyes.

This place is, after all, the cave dwelling of a Golden Core cultivator, and everyone can feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Senior, we have come here to seek a path forward. If we are fortunate enough to be chosen, we will worship you day and night from now on."

Wang Miao and Dong Tao bowed respectfully, and as they uttered their incantations, a golden light seemed to flash briefly.

"Haha, this Golden Core senior responded to us. I knew it. After all, he was a Golden Core cultivator. Even if he has perished, there must still be a wisp of his consciousness remaining."

Dong Tao opened his arms wide in almost ecstatic joy, his eyes filled with a kind of madness. He seemed to think that the spiritual objects in the cave were now in his hands.

"Yes, it's our luck!"

A hint of excitement flashed across Wang Miao's face. There's always been talk of luck among cultivators, and Wang Miao thought to himself, "It seems my luck is pretty good this time."

"It works, let's offer our prayers too!"

The other rogue cultivators who came in later followed suit, but the golden light did not flash.

Wang Miao and his companion glanced disdainfully at the rogue cultivator before stepping into the cave, with the rogue cultivator following behind.

Ouyang Yue did not make any move. She frowned as she looked at the golden light surrounding the cave, seemingly dissatisfied with the suppression of her cultivation.

Let's go!

Xu Yuanlang followed suit and began to urge the unhurried Ouyang Yue on.

"Big sister, these tables and bookshelves are all magic artifacts. If we take them out and sell them, we can make a fortune."

The rogue cultivator who spoke was named Chang Mei, dressed in pink spiritual robes. Beside her was the elder sister she mentioned, named He Jue, who carried two swords on her back. She was about the same height as an average man and exuded heroic spirit, but unfortunately, a hideous scar on her face marred her appearance.

The two followed the jade steps to a room that was spotless, as if someone was constantly wiping it clean.

In addition, numerous ice mirrors hang throughout the room, revealing every detail.

As soon as Chang Mei entered, she immediately began searching the room. She was extremely excited to find that the room was almost entirely filled with magical artifacts, and without saying a word, she started stuffing them into her storage bag.

He Jue was equally excited, when suddenly a shadow flashed past the corner of her eye.

"who!"

The twin swords behind her immediately flew out and slashed at the dark figure, but a cracking sound came, and an ice mirror was cut in two.

"Big sister, what happened?"

Chang Mei hurriedly took out her magical artifacts to defend herself, but apart from the broken mirror, everything else was silent.

"Maybe I'm seeing things!"

He Jue looked around but didn't find anything wrong. She shook her head and then comforted Chang Mei.

She didn't see that behind her, one ice mirror after another began to darken, as if something was flowing out of the mirrors.

"Haha, these are all second-tier spiritual herbs! We're rich!"

Other independent cultivators walked through the flower field and discovered a half-acre spiritual field near the tall building, where densely packed spiritual herbs were planted.

Each medicinal herb shimmered with spiritual light, as if deliberately attracting them.

Upon seeing this, the rogue cultivators immediately pounced on the enemy and began to reap the rewards frantically. At the same time, the cultivators who had come in with them immediately began to fight each other.

As the blood seeped into the spiritual field, the original spiritual herbs grew even more vigorously.

"This is the alchemy room!"

Wang Miao and Dong Tao looked up at the plaque hanging in the room and couldn't help but reveal their ecstatic joy.

"Senior brother, it seems our journey still has a way to go."
