This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 301 The Evil Half-Gold of the Absolute Gold Sect
Players + NPCs = The Era of Cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, when there are official events, it's player-versus-player combat.

When there are no official events, it's just players fighting against NPCs.

The evil spirit Jin in front of you, though called a monster, is actually an NPC with its own unique settings and interpersonal relationships.

The Evil Gold Sect represents his interpersonal relationships, and it's also something Jiang Liu is most concerned about.

Encountering a demonic NPC and dozens of monsters is nothing special; the most important thing is finding their lair.

Finding the lair is equivalent to finding the respawn point.

Once you've found the spawn point, are you still worried about not getting the items and materials you want?
Therefore, Jiang Liu kept his eyes fixed on Xie Jingjin. He wasn't afraid of how arrogant Xie Jingjin was, but he was afraid that Xie Jingjin would run away.

As for the other dozens of Ice Bone Golden Demons
Perfect for trying out new skills!
"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

Jiang Liu murmured to himself, and the spiritual energy within his body surged wildly into the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword as if it had gone out of control.

Five streams of five-colored spiritual energy, like tiny snakes, coiled around the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword, intertwining and merging with each other.

At the same time, Jiang Liu was surprised to find that a progress bar had appeared below his field of vision!
The Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword is actually a skill that requires a casting time!
The loading speed is very fast, probably less than half a second.

As the loading bar appeared, he saw the five-colored spiritual energy swirling around the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword rapidly merging together.

The five streams of five-colored spiritual energy merged into an aura of indescribable color, eventually converging at the tip of the sword.

After one loading bar finished, another identical loading bar appeared!

Second loading bar!
Third loading bar!
The three loading bars took almost a second each!
This time, Jiang Liu understood what the reading bar meant.

It's a new entry: Ningyuan!
The Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword uses the Condensing Yuan technique!

After guessing this, Jiang Liu felt a little ashamed, but also a little relieved.

The Five Elements Gathering Technique he obtained increased his gathering speed by 100%, and his current Five Elements Dao Body also greatly increased his gathering speed.

Even so, it takes 0.7-0.8 seconds to use the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword once!

Without the Five Elements Gathering Technique and the Five Elements Dao Body, he didn't even dare to imagine how long it would take to unleash the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword once.

That would take at least 3 seconds, wouldn't it?

Even if you gave him a powerful skill that required him to stay still and cast for 3 seconds, he wouldn't dare use it!
With such a long cast time, let me see the power of your ultimate move!

Jiang Liu was filled with anticipation. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the three points of Yuan Qi that had gathered at the tip of his sword!
"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

A little bit of cold light arrives first!
A sword rang out, followed by its own cry!
A sword beam that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth burst forth from the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword. In an instant, Jiang Liu felt as if a flashbang had exploded in front of his vision, and a deathly pale light flashed by.

Five-colored primordial energy condensed into a sword beam that stretched across the heavens and earth, carrying a vast sword might, and swept outwards in all directions from the river's center!

Like a sword soaring into the sky, its divine might cannot be insulted. Anything that touches this sword's might instantly vanishes into thin air!

The Ice Bone Golden Demons surrounding the river had no chance to resist or even react before being reduced to fragments by the dazzling white light.

Dozens of Nascent Soul stage Ice Bone Golden Demons were instantly killed with a single sword strike!

Jiang Liu wasn't surprised at all. Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he could already kill Nascent Soul monsters instantly, let alone now.

He felt that this sword strike was so powerful that even the Divine Transformation Palace Master, let alone these Nascent Soul monsters, might not be able to withstand it!
That's awesome!

But, can you fucking stop being so arrogant?!

When Jiang Liu saw the Ice Bone Golden Demons around him being cut into pieces, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it all along.

but.

When he saw the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword sweep across the void, a pure white sword light scanning towards Xie Jingjin, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively cried out, "Quick, dodge! My unknown good brother!"

Evil Essence Gold: "."

Xie Jingjin didn't hear Jiang Liu's shout; he was already terrified.

Where are all my Ice Bone Golden Demons?
How come it all disappeared in an instant?
This is a Nascent Soul Demon that the sect spent a lot of materials to refine!
It disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Oh no, I'm definitely going to be punished when I get back!

When Xie Jingjin saw that the entire army of Ice Bone Golden Demons he had brought out had been wiped out, his first thought was that he would be punished.

But when he saw that blinding white light sweeping towards him with the sound of a sword, a deep look of horror appeared on his face, and a second thought flashed through his mind.

Do not!
My life is over!

"I am the personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Evil Gold Sect! If you kill me, you will have no place to stay in the Nine Layers of Demon Realm."

Xie Jingjin wanted to struggle a little more, but Jiang Liu said that once the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword was unleashed, it was no longer under his control.

[You have slain the Ice Bone Golden Demon, gaining cultivation points? This triggers the Battle Saint Body (God King) damage amplification effect, permanently increasing damage by 0.15%]

[You have slain the Ice Bone Golden Demon, gaining cultivation points? This triggers the Battle Saint Body (God King) damage amplification effect, permanently increasing damage by 0.15%]

[You have defeated the Evil Spirit Gold, gaining cultivation points? This triggers the Battle Saint Body (God King) damage increase effect, permanently increasing damage by 0.15%]

Jiang Liu: “.”

The Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword swept majestically into the distance, slowly disappearing into the horizon.

Here, the land within a hundred miles had been leveled by three feet, and Jiang Liu was the only one standing.

The enemy has been completely wiped out!

"How did the cultivation points I gained turn into...?"

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down at his cultivation level.

Very good, I didn't see the cultivation level bar change at all.

Damn, these are dozens of elite monsters at the Nascent Soul stage, and they can't even make a ripple in your cultivation bar?
It's outrageous!
When will I be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?

Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly, then looked around and gave a wry smile.

There was nothing nearby except for the shiny, fallen debris scattered all over the ground.

These demonic monsters didn't even leave behind a tombstone!
This means he doesn't even have a chance to wait for the corpse to respawn and guard it!

"Their spawn point should be inside the sect's headquarters. Sigh, I don't even know where their headquarters is?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself. He originally intended to kill all the Ice Bone Golden Demons, leave one Evil Essence Golden Demon alive, torture it severely, and find out the location of the Evil Gold Sect before sending blood to its door.

but now.
Who knew that guy was such a piece of trash!

You can't even withstand one of my sword strikes, yet you dare to call yourself the sect leader's personal disciple?
I bother!

Jiang Liu cursed inwardly, suppressed his helplessness, and quickly began to pick up the fallen items from the ground.

You have obtained 654 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 417 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 1 Heavenly Craft Water Spirit Orb.

You have obtained 1 Heavenly Craft Water Spirit Orb.

You have obtained 1 Heavenly Craft Water Spirit Orb.

[You have obtained 3641 spirit stones] After picking up all the dropped items, his face couldn't help but darken slightly.

It's normal that I didn't get the Pure Jade Lotus or the Jade Demon Bone. If they were that easy to get, they wouldn't be Dao-rank materials.

It's normal that no Dao-rank materials drop, but why the hell am I getting a huge bunch of Heavenly Crafting Water Spirit Orbs?!
He glanced at the backpack with a dark expression, and his face darkened even more after he finished looking at it.

A total of 15 Heavenly Craft Spirit Orbs were obtained, 7 of which were Heavenly Craft Water Spirit Orbs!
Nearly half!

I could tolerate the water in the regular pool.

Even after we're in the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm, you're still messing with me?
Isn't this just disgusting?

"I threw up, I really threw up."

Jiang Liu's face darkened. He was already annoyed that he hadn't gotten any Dao-rank materials, and then he touched half of the water droplets, making him even more unhappy.

Let's count how many spirit stones were obtained.

1, 2, 3.
Holy crap, is this for real? 3 spirit stones in just a few seconds?
On average, a Nascent Soul monster can drop 500 spirit stones, while an Evil Essence Gold monster can drop 3000 spirit stones.

It can drop Dao-rank materials, Heavenly Crafting Spirit Orbs, and Spirit Stones.

If we could find his hideout, wouldn't that be amazing?

But here's the problem: where do we find them?
Jiang Liu frowned, his face contorted in pain. He turned his gaze toward the direction from which the evil spirit Jin had come. After a slight hesitation, he flew toward that direction nonetheless.

I didn't mean anything by it; I just really admire the Evil Gold Sect and wanted to pay them a visit.

To show his sincerity, he not only did not conceal his presence, but even released his aura outwards, flying fearlessly above the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

As a righteous person, he was so arrogant in the stronghold of the demonic path that he didn't have to worry about encountering NPCs or monsters.

He's looking for the demonic path?

No, it's the demonic path that's looking for him.

Jiang Liu had only flown a few hundred miles forward when his body suddenly froze in mid-air. Looking around, he realized that his entire surroundings were now shrouded in layers of thick demonic energy.

This demonic veil was like a cage, confining him to this place.

Is this a formation?

As if sensing something, Jiang Liu subconsciously looked down and saw a black magic array hundreds of meters in size appear on the ground, trapping him inside.

Judging from the situation, it wasn't that someone was ambushing him, but rather that he had accidentally entered a demonic formation.

at this time.

A familiar yet sinister laugh came from beside me.

"Hahahaha, we're so lucky! We actually ran into a lone good-for-nothing from the righteous path here!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

This conversation sounds so familiar!
Could it be that my brother Jingjin has made a comeback?
Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

This glance left him extremely disappointed.

The newcomer was not Brother Jingjin, but another young demonic NPC, along with a large group of Ice Bone Golden Demons.

Ok?
It's the Ice Bone Golden Demon again. Is this good brother also from the Evil Gold Sect?

Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, and then checked the other party's personal information.

【Evil Half-Gold】

[Rank: Elite]

[Realm Level: Mid-Nascent Soul Stage]

[Affiliation: Absolute Gold Sect]

The Absolute Gold Sect?
A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. If it wasn't the Evil Gold Sect, why was the Ice Bone Golden Demon also with them?
Could it be that the Ice Bone Golden Demon is a specialty of the 9th level of the Demon Realm, and everyone has it?
Jiang Liu was sizing up the other person, and the other person was also sizing up Jiang Liu.

When the NPC Xie Banjin discovered that Jiang Liu was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his face showed undisguised disappointment.

He thought that someone who dared to walk recklessly on the righteous path of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm must be a big fish, but he didn't expect him to be just a small shrimp.

Damn it.

He dares to come to the Ninth Layer Demon Realm after just breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?
Having just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he dares to act recklessly in the Ninth Layer Demon Realm?
Didn't your parents teach you to be low-key when you're out and about?
"What a disappointment, it's a complete waste of my Life-Binding and Spirit-Locking Array."

Xie Banjin shook his head, looking at Jiang Liu with a mocking expression, and sneered, "Kid, do you think the Nine-Layer Demon Realm is your own home, just something to stroll around and play in?"

Jiang Liu knew that the same mistake must never be made twice.

Just now, he accidentally killed Xie Jingjin, which is why he couldn't find out the location of the Xie Jin Sect.

Now that he's been given another chance, he'll definitely not make the same mistake again!
Ask this person about the location of the Juejin Sect's headquarters.
That's something only a complete idiot would do!
Jiang Liu let out a soft breath, ignoring Xie Banjin's mockery. He gave the other party what he thought was a very friendly smile, cupped his hands in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world, and said sincerely, "I am Jiang Liu, a close friend of Xie Jingjin of the Xie Jin Sect in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm."

"I have come here at the invitation of Brother Jingjin to visit the Xiejin Sect."

"I wonder if this fellow Daoist knows my close friend, Xie Jingjin?"

Xie Banjin: "??????"

Jiang Liu's words truly stunned Xie Banjin.

You, a righteous cultivator, claim to be a close friend of a demonic cultivator?
You think I'm stupid?
He naturally recognized Xie Jingjin. The 9th level of the Extreme Gold Demon Realm was only a small place, and the Absolute Gold Sect and the Evil Gold Sect were not too far apart. The two were of similar age, so it was normal for them to know each other.

Not only did they know each other, they even hunted righteous cultivators together.

Xie Jingjin has never shown mercy to righteous cultivators who have entered the Nine-Layer Demon Realm. You say you are his close friend?
I bah!
"nonsense!"

Xie Banjin snapped out of his daze and looked at Jiang Liu with a sneer: "Didn't you righteous cultivators say that you value dignity as the foundation of your Dao? Why do you become hypocritical when faced with mortal danger?"

"To survive, you even made the demonic path your closest friends. Would you dare repeat that in front of your sect elders?"

Upon hearing Xie Banjin's disbelief, Jiang Liu couldn't help but smile wryly and said very sincerely, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Everything I said is true!"

"If I weren't Xie Jingjin's closest friend, how could I dare to venture alone into the Nine-Layer Demon Realm and blatantly leak my aura while flying in the air?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll ask you if this place is not far from the Evil Gold Sect?"

"If I hadn't gotten lost, I would probably be at the Evil Gold Sect by now."

"If you don't believe me, just take me to the Evil Gold Sect and have Brother Jingjin confront me, won't that solve the problem?"

He said it so frankly that Xie Banjin looked on with suspicion.

It seems...it might make some sense!
Xie Banjin stared blankly at Jiang Liu, who was calm and sincere, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it seemed to make sense.

In any case, he had never seen a young righteous cultivator dare to act so arrogantly in the Ninth Layer Demon Realm in his entire life.

This person dares to walk recklessly in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm, so he's one of our own?
Despite his exceptional intelligence and insight, he couldn't discern whether Jiang Liu was telling the truth or not.

because
Jiang Liu is all alone!

He's only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
A Nascent Soul cultivator, posing no threat whatsoever, willingly went to the demonic sect's headquarters. Doesn't that mean he has a clear conscience?

If there really is a conspiracy, what can he do by himself?
Jiang Liu: I'm going to the Evil Gold Sect. I have a clear conscience.
