Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

They dared to have such thoughts because they were certain that these spiritual waters were "stolen goods".

As long as they aren't caught red-handed, even if they are discovered later, the sect will most likely tacitly approve—a Foundation Establishment disciple using their own abilities to snatch a share of the spoils from the "operations" of a Core Formation cultivator.

As long as it's not excessive, and they have powerful backers who have reached the Core Formation stage, it's often seen as a tacit "opportunity."

If Master Canglang were to truly lower himself to pursue the matter, it would actually lower his standing within the sect.

For a sect, a third-tier spiritual item is not really a serious matter, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed Master Canglang to dabble in these things.

For the next two weeks, Lin Zhao outwardly continued to complete those tasks, but in reality, he devoted most of his mind to entering the "Heavenly State" in his sea of ​​consciousness, frantically deducing and analyzing that complex set of restrictions.

With the combined boost of terrifying comprehension and the perception of the Dharma Domain, progress was rapid.

Half a month later, Fang Yue brought urgent news: "It might have to be brought forward! The Enforcement Hall has located most of the spiritual water and is collecting evidence to prove that the spiritual water belongs to True Person Canglang. The Enforcement Hall will close in the next few days! True Person Canglang may take action to retrieve all the spiritual water at any time!"

"The analysis is 80% complete, that's enough!" Lin Zhao made a decisive decision. "Let's go now and wait for the opportunity!"

The two once again dived into the deep-sea cave, guarding the invisible barrier.

Soon after, the Enforcement Hall token in Fang Yue's arms suddenly became slightly warm, signaling an urgent order for all disciples to assemble immediately.

He glanced at it and completely ignored the urgent order—he had never been optimistic about this operation to begin with.

"They've moved, and... things are not good," Fang Yue whispered. This urgent order itself was a bad sign.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Zhao, controlling the power of his domain, began to break the restrictions according to a method he had already devised! Every second counted!

-----

Fang Yue's premonition came true.

However, the one who got into trouble was not a Foundation Establishment disciple, but the Core Formation Master in charge of the Enforcement Hall.

His temporary encampment, hidden in a trench thousands of miles away, was targeted by a third-tier demonic whale that appeared out of nowhere!

The behemoth was hundreds of feet long, its body shrouded in dark demonic energy, and it stirred up an underwater storm, instantly destroying the defensive formation of the encampment.

The Core Formation Master was both shocked and furious. In order to protect his Foundation Establishment disciples from retreat, he had no choice but to withstand the Demon Whale's attacks and fight his way back.

The demonic whale seemed to have its sights set on him, relentlessly pursuing him. The battlefield between the two shifted constantly, churning up a vast expanse of sea and plunging the world into darkness.

Zhenhai Cliff detected the powerful fluctuations of the third-tier sea beast and the battle between the Core Formation level at the first moment, and immediately activated the highest alert, opening all formations, allowing entry but not exit.

Master Canglang reacted swiftly, using the pretext of "the invasion of third-tier sea beasts, which requires joint efforts to suppress," and forcibly ordered the other three early-stage Core Formation Realm Masters of Zhenhai Cliff to join the attack and head towards the battlefield.

They arrived at the sea, which was now a raging torrent and filled with chaotic spiritual pressure.

Master Canglang swept his gaze across the area, directly locking onto the Core Formation cultivator from the Enforcement Hall who was locked in combat with the demonic whale. He shouted sternly, "Hiding here so suspiciously and lurking in the sea beasts, you must be plotting something! Seize him!"

The Core Formation stage cultivator hurriedly explained, "I am from a sect..."

"Impersonating a sect disciple is an even greater crime!" Master Canglang ignored him and attacked without hesitation! A massive, deep blue palm, carrying immense magical power, slammed down directly!

Among the three Core Formation cultivators, the one who had already secretly communicated with the Enforcement Hall was inwardly groaning, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

On the surface, he was assisting Master Canglang in capturing "suspicious individuals," but in reality, he wanted to create chaos to help the head of the Enforcement Hall escape.

"Hmm? You dare to obstruct us? You really do have accomplices!" Master Canglang seemed extremely angry, and sneered. His domain power suddenly expanded, actually pulling the two Core Formation cultivators into the fray!

"Fellow Daoists, quickly suppress the sea beast and don't let it interfere with the capture of the thief!" he shouted at the other two Core Formation cultivators who hadn't yet reacted.

The two Core Formation cultivators exchanged bewildered glances, but the demonic whale had already been enraged and charged towards them violently. They could only unleash their magical treasures and join forces to resist it.

Thus, an extremely chaotic scene unfolded in the skies above this sea area:

Canglang Zhenren fought against two Core Formation cultivators, while two other Core Formation Zhenren joined forces to fight against the berserk third-tier demonic whale. The magic domains, magic treasures, and demonic beast supernatural powers of the six Core Formation level warriors clashed, intertwined, and crushed each other!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder was visible, and the sea surface sank and rose, forming terrifying giant waves tens of meters high.

A multicolored, destructive energy storm swept across a radius of hundreds of miles, causing the spiritual energy to completely go haywire and ultimately triggering an astonishing spiritual tsunami that surged toward Zhenhai Cliff!

Fortunately, the Zhenhai Cliff Formation had already been raised, blocking the impact. However, the spiritual veins within a thousand miles were severely disturbed, and the spiritual energy fluctuations rose and fell like tides.

This terrifying celestial phenomenon and the turbulent flow of spiritual energy perfectly concealed many subtle movements.

---

Just as the battlefield descended into extreme chaos, a hazy figure in white quietly emerged from the core of Zhenhai Cliff.

Its aura is ethereal, and when it moves, it almost blends into the fluctuations of space, moving at an astonishing speed.

This is precisely the secret technique cultivated by Master Canglang—the [Water Mirror Spirit Body].

With the help of a third-tier spatial magic treasure, the "Void Spirit Water Mirror," he was able to create a spiritual body that temporarily possessed part of his main body's divine consciousness and was roughly at the early stage of Core Formation while fighting with all his might.

The spirit body is not strong in combat, but it excels in concealment and speed, and was specifically prepared for this moment to retrieve the spirit water.

With the help of the main body's sensitivity to restrictions and the convenience of spatial artifacts, the spirit body, like an invisible ghost, travels through various hidden places that nurture spiritual waters.

The Foundation Establishment disciples of the Enforcement Hall who remained to monitor the situation had no way of detecting the methods of the Core Formation True Person.

In just one hour, the spirit body had traveled to more than ten places, silently collecting hundreds of drops of spiritual water.

At this moment, the turbulent flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is rapidly washing away and smoothing out the traces left by the nurturing spiritual water in the spiritual veins.

Inside the deep-sea cave, beads of sweat were visible on Lin Zhao's forehead, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

The spiritual energy surge caused by the battle for Core Formation in the outside world, while interfering with his breakthrough, also masked the energy fluctuations when he broke the seal.

"Now!" he shouted, and the power of his Dharma Domain suddenly changed, exerting force simultaneously along more than a dozen key nodes that had been deduced!

"Buzz..."

The distorted space in front of the rock wall rippled slightly, like water spreading out, revealing a hole only about ten feet square. Inside, fourteen crystal-clear drops of jade-like liquid, containing immense spiritual energy, floated—Jade Spirit Water!

"Collect!" Lin Zhao and Fang Yue were prepared. They each took out specially made jade bottles, used their magic to collect the spiritual water into the bottles, and did so cleanly and efficiently.

The moment they succeeded, the two turned and fled without hesitation!

Lin Zhao used the Five Mountains Shifting Technique, his body resonating strangely with the rocks and seawater beneath his feet. Each flash was several miles away, as fast as a ghost.

Fang Yue's body was surrounded by slight ripples, as if he were gliding on an invisible space. His speed was no less than that of a human, and his trajectory was even more unpredictable.

Before long, the two had traveled hundreds of miles away from here, constantly changing direction and using various concealment and tracking spells.
