Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 423 Traitor
Hearing the sudden voice, Qiao Lingyao, who was already on high alert, knew that the two foundation-building disciples of Yanshen Sect alone might not be able to set up this third-level formation, and that there must be someone secretly directing them from behind, and her expression became even colder.

Spots of divine light carrying a bone-chilling chill emerged from his body, transforming into another layer of protection outside the true essence shield.

At the same time, a jade sword talisman suddenly shot out from her hand, turning into a stream of light that shot up into the sky, directly breaking through the yellow sand that had sealed her in, and flew away.

However, when the jade sword talisman hit the barrier of the formation, it suddenly triggered the evil spirit of the yellow sand contained in it. The structure of the entire formation became more stable, and the flying sand and rocks became gloomier, carrying with them strands of evil spirit.

As the power climbed again, the sealing and isolating capabilities of the formation also increased!

The jade sword talisman could not break through for a while, but was instead worn away by the yellow sand, and its spiritual light was tainted by the evil spirit.

Then he was grabbed by a skinny big hand that suddenly appeared.

"It's you?!"

Qiao Lingyao's expression changed slightly, as if she was greatly surprised by the person who appeared, and then she was filled with strong anger and disgust.

"Elder Chang, why did you betray the Tiantuo Sect?!"

"betray?"

The thin middle-aged man called Elder Chang glanced at Qiao Lingyao, greed flashed in his eyes, and sneered.

"What did the Tiantuo Sect give me?"

"The higher-ups only have eyes for geniuses like you with exceptional talent. We ordinary cultivators work hard in the sect, busy with many tasks, just to accumulate resources for you. Even if there are any opportunities, the sect will always favor guys like you..."

"Why should you, as long as you have good aptitude, be protected by the sect and cared for by the elders? Why should you, without having to do anything, be continuously provided with magical skills, secret techniques, and cultivation resources?!"

"Even if we risk our lives and work hard for our cause, the rewards we receive are meager!"

His expression turned cold, and a little more yearning, admiration and enthusiasm appeared from the bottom of his heart.
"If I hadn't been favored by the Saint Sect, I probably wouldn't have had many opportunities to enter the Jindan stage in my life, let alone have the status I have now!"

The two Yanshen Sect disciples who were assisting in managing the formation in their respective centers were greatly excited when they heard this, and their hearts were burning with excitement when they glanced at Qiao Lingyao.

Elder Chang is their best role model. If they can help Elder Chang accomplish his plan today, they may be able to cultivate and achieve the Golden Elixir like Elder Chang in the future!
By then... no matter how high and mighty the beautiful fairy was, they could make her obey him and have whatever they wanted at their disposal just by thinking about it!
"Without the Holy Sect, there would be no me today... I have never been loyal to the Tiantuo Sect, so how can I talk about betrayal?"

After saying this, Elder Chang looked at Qiao Lingyao with an even more fiery gaze, and with his frantic magical power, he grabbed the jade sword talisman that was still struggling in his hand.
"I specifically sought out this Yellow Sand Evil Pit to set up a large formation to guard against your communication sword talisman... Now that the sword talisman has been intercepted, you only have one Ice Soul External Pill left that is still worthy of my attention. However, you will be greatly suppressed in this Yellow Sand Formation..."

"No means can threaten me... Today, I will possess you, control your soul and body, and cultivate a genius clone for me! This will also plant a deep nail in the Tiantuo Sect!"

After hearing what Elder Chang said, and looking at the sword talisman in his hand that couldn't be freed, and had lost most of its spiritual power and was no longer of much use, Qiao Lingyao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Even if she had the Ice Soul External Pill given by the sect, which was in perfect harmony with her own spiritual roots and could unleash her full combat power, she would be better than any ordinary fake elixir cultivator. Combined with the talisman in her hand, she might be able to fight against a real early stage Golden Core cultivator.

But being in this yellow sand formation that is constantly amplified by the evil energy of the yellow sand, and having to face Elder Chang, who is a golden elixir, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent.

But what if she was asked to surrender?

The thought of being completely controlled by this person, with no control over her life from now on, and even potentially harming Tiantuo Sect and her master, suddenly filled Qiao Lingyao with determination. "Even if I die, I will never let you have your way!"

Qiao Lingyao cursed angrily, and the magic power of the Ice Soul Dan in her body surged wildly, catalyzing the cold light of the ice crystals to continuously impact the howling wind, which was like an endless stream of sand in the sky.

A talisman with a seal painted on it flew out immediately. Under its stimulation, spiritual light emerged and suddenly condensed into substance, thus transforming into the seal magic weapon, and flew directly towards the direction where Elder Chang was.

Although she was limited by her cultivation level, even if her Nascent Soul Master was willing to sacrifice the power of his own life-saving magic weapon to refine the talisman, she would find it difficult to control it with her external elixir and the combat power of fake elixir.

Moreover, they have all been given external pills. If Qiao Lingyao is allowed to possess such a powerful thing easily, and relies entirely on external objects for support, then what effect will it have on her when she is out in the world?

This seal and talisman was only given by the leader of Tiantuo Sect, and it is only a golden elixir talisman.

Normally, it is extremely powerful when combined with external elixirs, but in front of a cultivator like Elder Chang who has made all kinds of preparations, it is really not a threat.

Moreover, using external elixirs to elevate mana wasn't the same as truly forming a golden elixir and completing the transformation. Compared to a true golden elixir cultivator, Qiao Lingyao still had quite a few flaws...

"It's nothing more than a worm shaking a tree!"

Elder Chang sneered when he saw this scene, and sealed the communication sword talisman with a lot of magic power. He held the formation flag and manipulated it repeatedly. Suddenly, the formation changed and yellow sand rose up, disordering the void.

Countless yellow sands gathered together and condensed into various weapons, which bombarded the talisman one after another, repelling it heavily.

The power of the talisman was greatly reduced. Before Qiao Lingyao, who had lost track of her opponent, could activate it again, all of a sudden, invisible light flashed and went straight through her heavy defenses, causing her soul to tremble and her mind to become confused.

In this way, except for the true energy shield that still operated instinctively, all other means were out of control.

Although external elixirs are wonderful, they cannot improve the physical strength and soul of a cultivator. If one encounters someone who has some attainments in the secret method of spiritual consciousness, he will immediately be at a great disadvantage!

"Hahaha! That's right! From now on, your body will be mine!"

Elder Chang laughed loudly, and appeared beside Qiao Lingyao in a flash. With a faint light flashing in his eyes, he urged the mad sand to directly break Qiao Lingyao's true energy shield.

Then a shadow flashed in his mind, and an especially solid shadow flew out and pounced straight towards Qiao Lingyao.

Qiao Lingyao was in a daze, almost losing consciousness and 90% of her control over her magical powers. She had no way to resist, and even suicide became a delusion.

Seeing this scene vaguely, the remaining consciousness was filled with despair and hopelessness!

boom!
All of a sudden.

The blazing fire swept down with unimaginable force, and the yellow sand in the sky shattered.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and mighty figure wearing armor and a red cloak suddenly appeared in front of them with terrifying power.
