The Primordial Law

Chapter 296 Seizing the Road
If she could get a share of the spoils from the struggle between Li Weiyi and Wang Shu, then she would probably have enough resources to cultivate to the third or even fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm!
And there is.

Yang Qingxi desperately wanted to defeat Wang Shu and bring all of Wang Shu's followers under his command.

Although she is a goddess, she has almost no capable people in the main altar, and her foundation is shallow.

Otherwise, how could Yang Yun have been chosen?
At this moment, news arrived from the Linggu Palace.

"A two-star Spirit Master? A spirit god of the Fusang Divine Tree? What a Li Weiyi! His talent in mental power is so extraordinary. If we add those strange insects to the mix, this battle will be quite a fight."

Yang Qingxi made a decisive decision and looked at Yang Yun: "Go to the Fourth Divine Son's residence and relay Li Weiyi's words to that Divine Son in their entirety. Remember, it must be relayed in person."

"what?"

Yang Yun was stunned, feeling that her sister's expression changed too quickly. Could it be... that there was really something going on between them?
He felt he would be killed by the Fourth Divine Child if he were told this to his face.

Yang Yun's intuition was correct; this was exactly what Yang Qingxi's goal was.

After all, to have a legitimate reason for their actions, they had to make things difficult for Yang Yun first. He wouldn't be killed, but a severe beating was probably unavoidable.

Yang Yun walked out of the Goddess's Palace as if she had lost her parents.

Yang Qingxi returned to the cultivation room, opened a door leading underground, and stepped into the dark and gloomy cramped space.

An otherworldly coffin was placed in the very center of the underground space.

The air was icy cold, making even martial arts cultivators at the Dao Seed Realm feel a chill.

Dark red blood mist continuously emanated from the coffin.

Lying in the blood mist was a woman who looked exactly like Yang Qingxi; she was Yang Qingchan.

During the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, Yang Qingchan's body was taken away by the Twin Rice Sect.

Yang Qingxi planted the soul seed she received from the Heavenly Principles Palace into the corpse, and Yang Qingchan is now her soul servant.

From inside the coffin, Yang Qingchan spoke in the same tone as before: "Where are the high-grade blood crystals I need? And the immortal soil, divine furnace wood, and other body-refining resources? This physical body is too weak right now, severely restricting my strength."

Yang Qingxi knew very well that the person lying in the coffin was no longer her younger sister, but a powerful deceased being cultivated by the Divine Cult under a false name. She said coldly, "If you want resources, you have to get them yourself."

……

The Fourth Divine Son's Palace.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were locked in the formation on the stone wall, emaciated and devoid of their former vigor, with severe blood loss.

Wang Shu appeared to be a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting cross-legged with his hands outstretched in front of him.

From the palms of his hands, magical energy and Daoist intent overflowed, twisting and turning into roots that burrowed into the ancestral fields of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, continuously absorbing the power of the dragon seed.

The absorption of their Dao seeds caused them both physical and psychological pain, making them scream in agony as if they were in hell. Their bodies trembled, and they eventually fainted from the pain.

"This is truly wonderful. No wonder it is the Daoist enlightenment of the ancient emperor. No wonder Yang Qingxi's cultivation speed is so fast."

"Dragon Seeds are indeed treasures that defy fate! Unfortunately, they cannot be extracted from their bodies and can only be absorbed in this way, which greatly limits their cultivation speed."

In the month since Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were taken out of the Divine Prison, Wang Shu's cultivation has greatly improved, surpassing the results of his hard work over the past six months.

"We cannot let them die. We must absorb all the dragon seeds in their ancestral fields before they can die."

Wang Shu decided to temporarily refrain from drinking their blood, allowing himself to recuperate and focus on breaking through to the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm. Condensing the Dao Lotus was already within reach, and he would surely succeed within ten days. However, this was far from his ultimate goal.

Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng, two true disciples at the Dao Seed Realm, quickly arrived outside the cultivation room.

They were already over fifty years old, but their cultivation level remained fixed at the third level of the Dao Seed Realm. They followed Wang Shu in order to obtain the opportunity to condense the Dao Lotus and break through to the fourth level.

Ye Nanfeng said urgently, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Li Weiyi has been taken as the eldest disciple by Venerable Nan."

Wang Shu did not open the door, not wanting any complications at this crucial moment of cultivation: "The puppet scarecrow I gave you failed in its assassination attempt?"

The one who controls the puppet scarecrow is the North Wind of Night.

He said, "Li Wei's mental power cultivation has greatly improved, and he is already a two-star mental power master. There are rumors that Zuo Shengdu was defeated by him and captured by him."

"How could Zuo Sheng, who has cultivated for a hundred years, be such a waste?"

Wang Shu's good mood vanished, and he felt utterly humiliated. He began to think seriously: "The Southern Venerable couldn't even capture Tang Wanzhou. She almost exposed her route to the main altar. Several Longevity Realm giants in the sect are already dissatisfied with her and suspect that she did it on purpose."

“At this critical juncture, she still dares to accept the hermit of the Nine Li Hidden Sect as her disciple.”

"Very well! Let's ignore it for now. Once I condense the Dao Lotus, my strength and status in the sect will be vastly different. At that time, I will have many ways to deal with Venerable Nan's eldest disciple."

A core disciple arrived using his movement technique and reported, "Your Highness, the Sixth Goddess's younger brother, Yang Yun, has come to pay his respects, saying he has something of great importance to tell you."

Yang Yun had no choice.

If he didn't say it that way, he felt he would never see the Fourth Divine Child.

After a while.

"boom!"

Yang Yun was so badly beaten that he crashed through the gate, flew out of the Fourth Divine Son's residence, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and tumbled away.

...Yao Qingxuan discussed the situation outside with a high-ranking figure from the Linggu Palace.

Li Weiyi followed Elder Xu to receive the rice robe and life tablet of a true disciple.

Before the Dao Lotus is formed, the true disciples' rice robes are embroidered with four spirit grains.

The amount of spiritual grains one possesses determines their status, position, and degree of freedom within the main altar.

Those divine sons and daughters, due to their extraordinary talents, have a very high probability of growing into giants of the Longevity Realm. Therefore, the rice robes they wear are embroidered with seven spirit grains, which is higher than the status of some elders. They can read all kinds of laws and Taoist arts.

As for the life tablet, each disciple's is unique, and a drop of blood needs to be dripped into it.

Elder Xu explained, "True disciples can view all the minor techniques and some of the scriptures in the Spirit Valley Hall. They can also freely enter and exit the cultivation areas of the twenty-eight Heavenly Law Springs."

"The four great arts require one to perform missions, perform meritorious service for the religion, and accumulate sufficient merit before one can view them."

“Li Zhenchuan is naturally different. You are the eldest disciple of Venerable Nan and one of the core members of the Linggu Palace. If you want to see anything, just tell me.”

Li Weiyi sighed inwardly at the omnipresent social etiquette and tactfully thanked them repeatedly.

"However, carrying out missions is an inescapable responsibility for true disciples. Each season, they must complete at least one mission."

Elder Xu gave this reminder, and then led Li Weiyi to the mission building of Linggu Hall.

"Instructing an outer disciple in cultivation for half a month will be rewarded with 500 Yongquan coins or 500 merit points."

"Reclaim 100 acres of rice paddies and you will be rewarded with 100 Yongquan coins or 100 merit points."

……

Within the Twin Rice Sect, the Spirit Valley Hall's role is to teach and nurture, primarily responsible for training outer disciples and inner disciples. Once someone becomes a core disciple, those with exceptional talent are almost always selected by various factions.

"Spirit Valley" means seed, which means that most of the tasks of the Spirit Valley Hall are low in danger and low in reward.

of course there are exceptions.

"Intercept and kill any martial cultivator who intrudes into the underground immortal abode. Killing a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Seed Realm will earn you 100,000 merit points. Capturing them alive will double the reward!"

"Killing a Dao Seed Realm cultivator at the second level will earn you 200,000 merit points. Capturing them alive will double the reward!"

Li Weiyi's gaze was fixed on the wall, a thousand thoughts surging in his mind, and he asked, "Can all true disciples accept interception missions?"

"It's natural!"

Elder Xu smiled and said, "Moreover, with Holy Spirit Masters or Longevity Realm giants accompanying us, the true disciples won't make mistakes during the mission and expose the main altar. So, while there is danger, it's not that high; it's a good opportunity for training."

Li Weiyi saw some bounty missions for martial arts practitioners with special identities.

Tang Wanzhou was among those listed, receiving a reward of ten million merit points.

Merit points can be used as Spring Coins to exchange for various cultivation resources in the Spirit Valley Hall.

Li Weiyi asked, "Aren't there any missions outside?"

"Outside? You mean the ground? There are some, but very few in the Linggu Palace."

Elder Xu smiled and said, "If you want to carry out missions outside, you have to go to the Hall of Heaven. The Hall of Heaven is in charge of all affairs of the world. The Southern Venerable is one of the five Venerables of the Hall of Heaven. She manages all affairs of the seven states of the Southern Territory. Missions in the Southern Territory are in her hands."

Li Weiyi had no immediate plans to carry out any missions, and under Elder Xu's guidance, he went to the resource vault of the Spirit Valley Hall.

Familiarize yourself with the environment and learn the way in advance.

Upon arriving outside the resource vault, Li Weiyi inquired about the price of the spring water from Elder Xu, who was guarding the place.

The two Elder Xus were brothers from the rice field.

Elder Xu, who guards the resource treasury, is much colder and has a completely different personality. He is very businesslike: "One drop of spring liquid, seven merit points or ten spring coins."

Li Weiyi took out several boundary bags, some from Yang Yun, some from Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi... all of them together, totaling 180,000 Yongquan coins, to buy 18,000 drops of spring liquid.

Elder Xu, with his gentle nature, smiled and said, "Master Li is no ordinary person! Even those divine sons and daughters rarely bought so much spring water at once when they were in the Five Seas Realm. Their ancestral fields could only be expanded to more than 20,000 cubic meters."

Li Weiyi feigned pain, then revealed a look of madness and determination: "We have to fight for it. How can we be content if we don't? Elder Xu, I have a Dao Lotus here that has released all its magical energy. How many Yongquan coins can I exchange for it?"

The aloof Elder Xu retrieved the spring water and handed it to Li Weiyi: "Dao Lotus can be used to refine Dao Lotus Pills, a powerful elixir for Dao Seed Realm martial artists to enhance their cultivation level. Different grades of Dao Lotus have different prices."

Li Weiyi took out the box containing the lotus and handed it over.

The Dao Lotus is an invaluable treasure, comparable to a thousand-year-old elixir. Its ability to help martial artists in the Five Seas Realm accumulate Qi is only a tiny fraction of its true value.

After examining it, Elder Xu said expressionlessly, "It is a Dao Lotus of a martial cultivator at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, and it is only the lowest grade, a Three-Petaled Dao Lotus, which can be exchanged for 180,000 Yongquan Coins."

Beside him, another Elder Xu whispered to Li Weiyi, "The Linggu Palace buys treasures at much lower prices, but you can sell them in the market town and get at least 20,000 more Yongquan coins."

Elder Xu, with his cold personality, snorted: "If you're not afraid of exposing your wealth, then go ahead. Who would dare to leak information about selling in the Spirit Valley Hall? Besides, if it's about exchanging resources for resources, there's room for negotiation."

Li Weiyi's heart stirred, and he asked, "Does the Spirit Valley Hall have any fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone?"
