Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The sight of these skeletons was shocking to the cultivators present, giving them a deeper understanding of the saying that the path of immortality is inherently ruthless.

Among these skeletons were some Qi Refining stage cultivators and others Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

"Even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage cannot escape perish here. This cultivation world is truly dangerous!" Song Daoxuan and his group of cultivators couldn't help but sigh.

However, upon seeing these skeletons, the cultivators present, while expressing regret, also showed a greater sense of disappointment.

"It seems that many cultivators had already visited this so-called Yuanqing Sanren's ruins before we arrived, and fought fiercely over some of the opportunities there. It seems that if there is anything left in these ruins, it probably won't be of much value..." Foundation Establishment cultivator Lu Chuxue shook her head and explained.

"Since we've all come all this way, why don't we explore this place a bit more? We can't just leave empty-handed!" Shen Xu said, patting the white giant tiger's head a few times while scanning the boxes with his divine sense.

The group of cultivators exchanged glances and nodded, then continued deeper into the underground cavern.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Lu Chuxue scanned dozens of boxes with her divine sense, and all of them were empty.

Even so, the group of cultivators continued along an underground river, delving deeper into the cave.

However, at that moment, the firelight emanating from the talisman in the cave suddenly flickered, and soon countless eerie green lights appeared.

The cultivators present stopped in their tracks, their faces showing a look of vigilance.

They unleashed their divine senses, and were instantly shocked within them.

Ten terrifying, dark blue wolf spiders were rapidly approaching the five cultivators present.

"Not good! There's a first-tier high-level demonic beast, the Ink Poison Wolf Spider, in the distance. This kind of demonic beast is extremely ferocious. Fellow Daoists, be careful!" Lu Chuxue warned.

A rustling sound came from the dark cave.

The next moment, a scream came from the cave. Before the five cultivators could react, Li Lan, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, was actually wrapped in a cocoon by the spider silk spit out by several black poison wolf spiders right under everyone's noses and quickly pulled dozens of feet away.

The female cultivator struggled desperately, but to no avail. Her entire body was then enveloped until she lost her life and became food for the black poison wolf spider.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators present turned icy cold, and then they all unleashed their respective magical artifacts without reservation.

However, these cultivators then proceeded to slaughter these dark green wolf spiders.

The one most adept at dealing with these black venomous wolf spiders should be Shen Xu.

Shen Xu possessed that white giant tiger, which was not only highly lethal but also as fast as the black venomous wolf spiders in front of him. Soon, with the cooperation of Shen Xu and the white giant tiger, they easily used a top-grade magic weapon spear to pierce through several dark green wolf spiders in succession.

Lu Chuxue, though possessing the powerful spirit beast Amethyst Scorpion, employed an extremely conservative fighting style. He circled the Amethyst Scorpion, manipulating a small, gleaming mirror from which ice shards shot out, then attacked the distant dark green wolf spiders.

When a few dark green wolf spiders approached the Amethyst Scorpion, Lu Chuxue took out a top-tier magic weapon, a longsword, and channeled her magic power into it, ruthlessly killing off the dark green wolf spiders within the Amethyst Scorpion's range one by one.

Wei Chong also took out a high-grade magic weapon, a longsword, to protect his own safety.

The most disheveled person present was Song Daoxuan. He simply threw out some first-grade low- to mid-grade talismans from his storage bag to face a dark green wolf spider.

Activating the talisman only requires a small amount of mana and will not break the restrictions hidden by the Turtle Breathing Technique, so it has been done for now.

Those cultivators present thought Song Daoxuan was merely a cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators found this scene amusing and generously helped Song Daoxuan several times, killing the dark green wolf spiders beside him at the cost of their own efforts.

Dealing with a first-tier high-level demonic beast is extremely troublesome for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, but for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it just takes a little more time and is not a difficult task.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Song Daoxuan cupped his hands in thanks to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. We're fellow cultivators, we should help each other out!"

However, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately showed contempt on Song Daoxuan's face.

They're nothing but ants at the fourth level of Qi Refining. How dare someone with such a low cultivation level explore the ruins of a Foundation Establishment cultivator? They're just a burden.

After this incident, the man surnamed Wei also looked down on the green-robed man at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Once the wolf spiders were all killed, their dark green corpses were piled up densely. Although the materials from these monster corpses were quite valuable to Qi Refining cultivators and could be used to refine some mid-grade magic artifacts.

However, most of the wolf spiders were killed by the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of them, and the two Qi Refining cultivators hardly dared to clean up the corpses of these black poison wolf spiders.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly stepped forward, cut off valuable items from the corpses of the Ink Poison Wolf Spiders, and put them into their storage bags.

These items together aren't worth many spirit stones, but the higher one's cultivation level reaches, the more one can appreciate the hardships of this resource-scarce cultivation world. So even the smallest thing is still something.

"Seniors, could you please give me the eye of this tarantula..." the man surnamed Wei pleaded humbly as he obtained a ghostly green eyeball.

Seeing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators nod, the Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator happily and carefully put the item into his storage bag.

Song Daoxuan, on the other hand, put all the silk cocoons of the Ink Poison Wolf Spider, which even cultivators looked down upon, into his storage bag.

These silk cocoons were not of much value to begin with, and could not be refined into any precious magical artifacts, so the Foundation Establishment cultivators present tacitly approved of Song Daoxuan's actions.

However, their contempt for Song Daoxuan, whose cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, deepened even further. They regarded him as a poor and lowly cultivator.

It just so happens that this day is the night of the New Year.

Deep inside the cave, there was a large hole in the ceiling, through which the bright moonlight shone into a clear pool of water.

As soon as the cultivators arrived, a small, snow-white flower bloomed brilliantly from the depths of the pool, radiating a holy glow.
