Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Song Daoxuan and the two Qi Refining cultivators introduced themselves to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The group then introduced themselves and respectfully bowed to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, Song Daoxuan did not use his real name, but instead used the name Xuandao of Zhuxi Sect to introduce himself to the group. His cultivation level was suppressed to the fourth level of Qi Refining under the concealment of the Turtle Breathing Technique.

Even with the highest cultivation levels present, Lu Chuxue from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Shen Xu from the Beast Control Sect, could not discern Song Daoxuan's true cultivation level without him intervening in the fight.

The Qi Refining cultivators present were somewhat taken aback and displeased to see two Foundation Establishment cultivators participating.

"It's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator's place of death, yet two Foundation Establishment cultivators are vying for it. In that case, even if there are any benefits, it's unlikely that we Qi Refining cultivators will gain any advantage."

Led by Foundation Establishment cultivators Lu Chuxue and Shen Xu, each took out Yuanqing Sanren's token and headed towards the recorded location.

As the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level in the eyes of the group, Song Daoxuan slowly followed behind, and the other cultivators did not say anything.

"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, our meeting is fate. Although I, Lu Chuxue, am a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I come from the righteous Five Poisons Sect. If there are any rare treasures in this cave ruins, I believe they should be distributed according to who contributed the most! What do you think, Fellow Daoist Shen?" The dark green man turned around and said.

Shen Xu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Our Beast Control Sect is also a righteous sect, and we agree with Fellow Daoist Lu's words that the items should be distributed according to merit. If there is any danger in the cave, I, Shen Xu, will certainly take care of the juniors!"

The cultivators nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then continued their journey towards the place where Yuanqing Sanren had passed away.

During this time, Song Daoxuan put the Azure Moon Wolf into the storage bag at his waist.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator, Shen Xu, sized him up: "Young friend, you are also proficient in the art of beast taming? What kind of beast is yours...?"

Upon hearing the question from the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Daoxuan did not conceal anything but answered truthfully:

"Senior, this is a Azure Moon Demon Wolf that I obtained by chance. In terms of strength, it's not even as strong as a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

Upon hearing that it was the Azure Moon Demon Wolf, a type of demonic beast that was abundant in the Great Li Dynasty, Shen Xu immediately lost interest and stopped asking questions.

The group of cultivators then arrived at a narrow place where two rocks intersected. Yuan Qing Sanren's token had reached its end at this place.

These cultivators frowned slightly.

"Could it be that we've gone the wrong way, or is this so-called Yuanqing Sanren Ruins just a fabrication?" Wei Chong, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, wondered.

"Probably not. It's likely that Yuan Qing Sanren, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wouldn't want his opportunity to fall into the hands of someone outside the cultivation world, so he would probably set up a Foundation Establishment restriction!"

"In that case, fellow cultivators, let's gather our magical power together and break through the magical restrictions here!"

After discussing it, the cultivators present all moved their sleeves and cast spells, each spell flashing as it was cast.

The two narrow rocks suddenly flashed with light and instantly became ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, a faint passage appeared.

Without further hesitation, these cultivators entered the passage, and an underground world immediately came into view.

This is a natural cave with many colorful stalactites suspended in the air.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators each threw out a talisman, which quickly began to shine brightly.

It illuminated the entire dark underground cavern.

After some exploration, the group of cultivators found quite a few first-tier spiritual plants in the cave.

First-tier spiritual plants might have some value to Qi Refining cultivators, but they wouldn't be that valuable to the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

Meanwhile, Song Daoxuan and the remaining two Qi Refining cultivators stuffed spiritual plants and herbs into their storage bags.

At that moment, Lu Chuxue, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect, suddenly had a flash of light on her chest.

A purple scorpion, half a meter long, suddenly sprang out. This scorpion was ferocious and terrifying, waving its large pincers, and the stinger at the end of its tail emitted a foul, bloody odor.

The cultivators present all turned pale upon seeing this.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't panic. This is Xiao Zi, my natal fellow cultivator. Her true form is a purple crystal scorpion," Lu Chuxue reassured everyone.

Upon hearing Lu Chuxue's words, the group of cultivators' expressions softened somewhat.

It is a well-known fact in the cultivation world that some cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect practice the method of cultivating their own life force.

The term "Tongcan" refers to a cultivator forming a contract with a young, natal demon beast when they are young.

Then, this natal demon beast will be linked to the cultivator's life. If the natal demon beast dies, the cultivator dies, and if the cultivator dies, the natal demon beast dies. Therefore, cultivators will not risk their natal poisonous ginseng unless absolutely necessary.

However, the method of cultivating one's natal element also has certain advantages. When a cultivator's cultivation level is higher than that of their natal element, their own magical power will gradually feed back to the natal element demon beast.

Conversely, if a demon beast's magical power is higher than that of a cultivator, the demon beast's magical power will directly benefit the cultivator, thus reaching a point of balance.

The Five Poisons Sect is located in the southern border region. Most cultivators in this sect who practice the cultivation of the Five Poisons Sect choose five poisonous creatures as their Five Poisons Sect Companion: scorpion, gecko, toad, centipede, and snake. Of course, there are also Five Poisons Sect cultivators who choose other demonic beasts as their Five Poisons Sect Companion.

Lu Chuxue released the Amethyst Scorpion, which immediately opened its massive maw and swallowed some spiritual plants and herbs from the underground world, displaying an exceptionally domineering nature.

Shen Xu, who was present, was extremely wary. Seeing this, he patted the spirit beast pouch.

The spirit beast pouch flashed with light, and a white-browed, fierce tiger flew out. This white tiger was over ten feet long and had a huge body, but compared to Lu Chuxue's amethyst scorpion, it was not as ferocious. It followed Shen Xu steadily, its expression calm as it gazed intently at the cultivators present.

This white giant tiger was a demonic beast that Shen Xu had raised by exhausting his cultivation resources.

Both the white giant tiger and the amethyst scorpion had reached the level of peak first-tier demon beasts.

However, the situation is quite different. With the death of the white giant tiger, Shen Xu will at most suffer some damage to his blood and qi, but with the death of the amethyst scorpion, Lu Chuxue's life will also be in danger.

The cultivators continued to explore further and discovered several shallow openings in the stone wall of a towering cave.

However, inside this opening, there were several small, antique-looking boxes.

Around these small boxes were countless skeletons that had long since weathered away.

These skeletons, white as snow, also exuded a faint magical power.

The owners of these skeletons were all cultivators in life, and they were probably killed because of fighting over the contents of these boxes.
