I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 275: Leaving the Ancient Ruins [th update, please give me a monthly ticket]

"Sorry, the price has gone up again. Three fire nettles or equivalent elixirs!" Xia Daoming turned to Wu An and the others again and said with a smile.

"Brother Li, Brother Shang, Miss Tong, are you really going to let this person do whatever he wants?" Shen Xulong ignored Xia Daoming and looked at Li Tinghui and the other two, saying anxiously and angrily.

Until now, he still believes that Xia Daoming is the worst among the four.

His words don't count.

"Junior Brother Xia's meaning is our meaning. He has full authority over this matter!" Li Tinghui and the other two said solemnly.

Shen Xulong and Wu An were stunned for a long time after hearing this, before they forced a smile towards Xia Daoming that was uglier than crying.

"Brother Xia, we are all true disciples of the three major sects of Daliang. We meet each other every day. In the future, we may all be the golden elixir elders of various sects. We will inevitably decide major events in the cultivation world of Daliang, and even join forces to fight against the enemy. Can you do less? You also know that we have taken great risks to find some opportunities. It is not easy!"

"No, if you keep saying something irresponsible to me and make me angry, I will continue to raise the price." Xia Daoming said bluntly.

Shen Xulong and Wu An were really angry and regretful when they heard this.

If they had known this guy was like this, they would have obediently taken out the Sanyuan Spiritual Fruit.

Now, just because I say a few more words, I will give you three more fire nettles for no reason.

However, they no longer had any regrets, and they did not dare to lose their temper anymore. They had to endure the bleeding in their hearts and took out a Sanyuan Spirit Fruit and three Fire Nettles.

Although fire nettle is very precious in the outside world, it is still easier to find in Huotong Ridge than other spiritual medicines. Both of them found a few plants.

But now most of it has been given to Xia Daoming.

As for the Three Yuan Spirit Fruit, Wu An and Shen Xulong each got two, and now only one is left.

After paying the reward, Wu An and Shen Xulong walked to a corner. They did not dare to meditate and rest. Instead, they glanced at Xia Daoming and the other three from time to time with a hint of vigilance and resentment in their eyes.

Yuwen Feng, on the other hand, was very calm. After saying hello to Li Tinghui and the other three, he sat cross-legged alone, taking medicine to heal his wounds and resting.

"You are really judging others by your own mean character. If we wanted to kill them, they would have been dead long ago. Why are we still on guard?" Li Tinghui couldn't help but say with contempt when he saw Wu An and the other two glancing at the four of them from time to time.

"Given their current state, if Junior Brother Xia really wants to kill them, even seven or eight of them won't be enough." Shang Yiyang sneered.

“However, Shen Xulong and Wu An are both direct disciples of the masters of their respective sects. After suffering a heavy loss this time, they will definitely make trouble in front of their master when they get out. By then, our three major sects will inevitably have a lot of trouble.” Tong Li said.

"Don't worry. Given our head master's obsession with money, the money will go into our pockets. It will be useless for the leaders of Changhe Sect and Xingyue Sect to argue about it." Xia Daoming curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

"You actually said that my master is a money-grubber. Be careful or I'll tell him." Tong Li rolled his eyes at Xia Daoming.

"What's the use of telling him? At most, you will confiscate a few months' worth of cultivation resources given by the sect as a rule. Do you think I will lose those few resources?" Xia Daoming said indifferently.

"This..." Tong Li was speechless.
-
Time passed quietly while waiting.

Soon the light in the desert sky began to distort, making the originally red sky appear strangely bright.

I don't know when the strong wind rolled up the yellow sand, like a yellow dragon raging in the desert.

"The passage is about to open!"

In the valley, seven people stood up one after another, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Soon, the seven people walked out of the valley and ran towards the desert.

At the same time, the same scene was happening in many places.

This time, everyone headed straight for the place where the vision in the desert appeared, and no one tried to stop them along the way.

This is the rule of Xuantian Pavilion.

People are also worried that complications and accidents may occur, causing them to miss the passage and regret it too late.

The other end of the passage.

It was still the Daxuan Kingdom, above the center of a large lake south of Huoyun Province.

In the middle of the flames that stretched for hundreds of miles, a deep passage with distorted light appeared under the great efforts of the five Yuanying elders of Xuantian Pavilion.

There were many people standing around the lake, waiting eagerly.

They were the cultivators who came to welcome the disciples of our sect and family.

Xiao Hongyi from Qingyuan Sect was also among the crowd.

"I wonder what they'll gain this time?" Elder Qian of Xingyue Sect was full of anticipation.

This time, the Xingyue Sect not only has eight people eligible to enter the ancient ruins, but in terms of talent and strength, they are also among the top in history. Moreover, last time, a disciple had helped them find a place where the Sanyuan Spiritual Fruit grew.

As long as they can pick some Sanyuan spiritual fruits, the trip will be worthwhile.

“Except for the restricted area, the ancient ruins of Nie Yan have been explored and searched many times by many people. It is estimated that it is difficult to get a big harvest. Especially the Qingyuan Sect, which only got four places this time, so it is even more difficult to get a big harvest.” Elder Tao of the Changhe Sect glanced at Xiao Hongyi beside him and said.

"We didn't have much hope for this trip. It would be worthwhile if we can gain something. The most important thing is that everyone can return safely." Xiao Hongyi said lightly.

"It's best if Brother Xiao can think this way, so that he won't be too disappointed when the mystery is revealed." Elder Qian said, stroking his beard with a slight curl of his lips.

"Haha!" Xiao Hongyi smiled generously, as if he didn't realize at all that Elder Tao and Elder Qian were showing off to him that they had more people and would definitely get more opportunities.

However, as the three of them talked, their expressions quickly changed.

"What's going on? The passage has been opened, why is no one coming out?"

"No, why didn't anyone come out?"

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone's faces showed a trace of uneasiness. In the past, when the passage was opened, the Jindan cultivators of Xuantian Pavilion would lead people out first, followed by the five major immortal cultivation families of Daxuan Country, and then the immortal cultivation forces of various countries.

But now, not a single Jindan cultivator from Xuantian Pavilion has come out.

This is not normal.

The five Yuanying elders of Xuantian Pavilion who displayed great magical powers all looked slightly unhappy and felt a little uneasy.

The ancient ruins of Nieyan, the desert, under the passage.

The crowd gathered, and those standing in the front turned their heads from time to time to look in the direction of Huotong Ridge, with anxious looks on their faces.

"What's going on? Why haven't Master Che and the others arrived yet?"

"Why hasn't my uncle come yet?"

"Where are the people from the Qi family and the Chai family? Why haven't any of them arrived yet?"

"Could it be that the two level five monsters in the restricted area rioted two days ago..."

Suddenly, a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion remembered the shocking phenomenon that happened in the restricted area two days ago, and his face turned pale.

The young men from the three major families of Xuantian Pavilion, Shang, Yuan, and Hao of Daxuan Kingdom all looked pale.

At this moment, the world seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, with only the sound of the strong wind blowing the yellow sand echoing between heaven and earth.

But soon the crowd started to stir.

"The passage will be closed soon. Now the life or death of the Jindan Patriarch is unknown. We can't keep waiting!"

"That's right. If we wait any longer, we will all have to stay here."

"..."

"Okay! According to the old rules, each force must gather twenty people in the order they came in, and leave one by one." A tall and mighty man standing at the front shouted with his face suddenly darkening.

After this man shouted, the crowd quieted down.

Soon, the people from Xuantian Pavilion left in batches.

There are sixty foundation-building disciples from Xuantian Pavilion who came in this time.

There were thirty people who followed the five Jindan cultivators into the lava abyss.

Several people died during the period, and the remaining people returned to Huotong Ridge before the five Jindan monks entered the restricted area.

Later, some of the remaining disciples of Xuantian Pavilion were killed one after another. In the end, there were fifty-one disciples left, and only nine of them died. This casualty rate is very low among all forces.

But because the five Jindan ancestors were most likely to die in the restricted area, the faces of these Xuantian Pavilion disciples who had gained a lot were gloomy when they left.

Compared with the people from Xuantian Pavilion, the surviving descendants of the three major families, Shang, Yuan and Hao, had even uglier expressions, and each of them looked as if they had lost their parents.

Of the five major immortal cultivation families, no one from the Qi family and the Chai family showed up, and it was very likely that they had been completely wiped out.

As for their three major families, Shang, Yuan and Hao, the eight foundation-building disciples of each family who had followed the Jindan elder into the Lava Abyss, along with the Jindan elder, have never returned. In addition, some foundation-building disciples who were active in Huotong Ridge and the edge of the Lava Abyss have also been lost.

Among the three families now, the Shang family is the best, with six surviving foundation-building disciples, while the Yuan and Hao families each have only four surviving disciples.

The casualties were extremely heavy.

Outside world, entrance to the passage.

Seeing that the first group coming out were the Foundation Establishment disciples of Xuantian Pavilion, the five Nascent Soul elders finally changed their expressions.

Even if the five Jindan cultivators died, it would mean nothing to Xuantian Pavilion.

But Xuantian Pavilion spent so much money to send them into the ancient ruins of Nirvana, hoping that they could bring back some precious elixirs suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Spiritual medicines of this level are becoming increasingly scarce in the outside world, and most of the time they can only be found in ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins of Nirvana only open once every two hundred years, so this is a rare opportunity.

If we miss it this time, we will have to wait another two hundred years.

As all the disciples of Xuantian Pavilion came out, the children of the three major families of Shang, Yuan and Hao of Daxuan Kingdom came next.

By the lake, the people from the five major immortal cultivation families who were eagerly waiting had already been mentally prepared, but when they saw only a few people coming out, their faces turned pale.

Especially the people from the Qi family and the Chai family, when they saw that there was not even a single person left from their family, they shook and almost couldn't stand still.

He is the leader among the old and young generations of the Jindan clan!

The entire army was wiped out in one fell swoop, the loss was too great!

Seeing that Xuantian Pavilion and the five major immortal cultivation families had suffered such heavy losses, people from other forces began to become worried.

Elder Qian and Elder Tao, who were chatting and laughing and showing off in front of Xiao Hongyi just now, now had tense faces. They didn't say a word, but just stared at the passage.

The same is true for Xiao Hongyi.

At this moment, his heart was in his throat.
