Daily Intelligence: From Miner to Dao Ancestor of Alchemy and Talismans

The complete lineage of Danfu Daozun is located in the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall.

If he can take advantage of this chaos to obtain the talisman and the complete inheritance, he will have the most solid foundation, not to mention Foundation Establishment, even if he wants to form the Core Formation or Nascent Soul in the future.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. It wasn't impulsiveness or greed for credit; he had made thorough preparations. The complete blueprints of the protective array were in his hands, and he knew all the escape routes and blind spots by heart. He had all the talismans and pills at his disposal, so even if he faced a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would have the strength to fight back and be confident of escaping unscathed.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Just then, the communication talisman in his arms suddenly lit up, and a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy came through.

It was a message sent by Qian Shi from his cave in Wohu Mountain.

Xu Yuan channeled spiritual energy into his fingertips and probed the communication talisman with his divine sense. Qian Shi's panicked voice immediately came through, filled with tension: "Brother Xu! Something terrible has happened! The main force of Black Wind Stronghold, along with the cultivators of Blood Fiend Sect, have all arrived at Black Wind Valley, thirty miles outside the market, and set up camp! It's packed with people, exuding a murderous aura! There are only three days left until their promised surprise attack!"

The winds of Blackwind Valley whipped up yellow sand, cutting like knives against one's face.

In the makeshift shack, Zhou Chengxian huddled in a corner, looking at his empty dantian, his eyes filled with resentment and bloodshot veins.

Ever since Xu Yuan publicly crippled his cultivation and expelled him from Qingya Workshop, he went from being a glorious successor of the Spirit Wine lineage to a homeless dog, worse off than a beggar.

Liu Yue'er had followed him through countless hardships and was no longer the charming girl she once was. Her face was full of hardship and bitterness, and she was always either crying or pointing her finger at him and scolding him for being useless.

In Zhou Chengxian's eyes, all the misfortune and humiliation should be attributed to Xu Yuan.

If it weren't for Xu Yuan, he wouldn't have ended up in this state. If it weren't for Xu Yuan, he would still be a highly sought-after alchemist in the market, with a beautiful woman in his arms and an endless supply of spirit stones in his hands.

"Xu Yuan... I will definitely kill you!" Zhou Chengxian gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his palms, not even noticing the blood seeping out.

He learned that the main force of Black Wind Stronghold had arrived in the valley and would soon attack Qingyafang.

As if grasping at the last straw, he dragged his crippled body and stumbled to the leader of the Black Wind Stronghold's bandit leader. He patted his chest and said that he was familiar with the terrain of Qingyafang, the Zhao family's guards and defenses, and even knew the secret passage of the water channel on the west side of the market. He was willing to lead the bandit leader.

He had only one condition: after capturing the market, Xu Yuan had to be handed over to him alive so that he could personally dismember the enemy who had ruined his life.

The leader of the thieves looked at this useless man whose dantian was completely destroyed. He originally wanted to kill him and feed him to the wolves, but when he heard that the man was familiar with the defenses of the market, he changed his mind and casually threw him two dry cornbreads, which was considered as granting his request.

Liu Yue'er, who was standing nearby, not only did not stop them, but a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

She also hated Xu Yuan. If it weren't for Xu Yuan, she wouldn't have ended up in this state of hunger and hardship with Zhou Chengxian. Once the market is breached, she will personally slash Xu Yuan's face to vent her anger.

The two were completely unaware that they were walking step by step toward the grave they had dug for themselves.

As night deepened, midnight quietly arrived.

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave of Wohu Mountain, having just completed a round of cultivation. The spiritual power within him, now at the seventh level of Qi Refining perfection, was becoming increasingly condensed and profound. The familiar system notification sounded in his mind right on time.

[Ding! Today's intelligence has been updated.]

Welcome to the fantastical world of fantasy novels. The entrance is here:

[Bai Bao: Tomorrow at Chenshi (03-004 AM), Zhou Chengxian and Liu Yue'er will lead eight late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Black Wind Stronghold to Baihe Village outside the market to plunder mortals' food supplies and abduct women. The Zhao family's guards have received the villagers' pleas for help and have set up an ambush in the Black Pine Forest along the way. Zhou and Liu are doomed.]

Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He had no intention of reminding anyone or intervening, as if he had only seen something that had nothing to do with him.

He and Zhou Chengxian had long since severed all ties.

Back in the mine, it was he who led Zhou Chengxian to escape from danger and out of the mountains. It was he who gave half of his spirit stones to rent a courtyard for Zhou Chengxian and helped him gain a foothold.

He believed he had done everything he could, but Zhou Chengxian repeatedly envied him and framed him. First, he framed him for stealing the recipe for the Spirit Wine at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and later he joined Zhang Kui and attached himself to the Blood Fiend Sect, trying to kill him time and time again.

Zhou Chengxian chose this path himself, he created this dead end himself, and now he is only reaping what he sowed.

He has no reason to save him, nor is he worthy of it. Getting involved will only bring unnecessary trouble and expose his whereabouts, which is a major taboo in the pursuit of survival.

Xu Yuan casually tossed the intelligence aside and continued to sort through the talismans in his hands, classifying the high-quality Rock-Splitting Talismans, Earth-Thickening Talismans, and Breath-Concealing Talismans, and carefully placing them close to his body, making final preparations for the surprise attack three days later.

The next day, at dawn, the sound of horses' hooves echoed along the mountain road in the direction of Baihe Village.

Zhou Chengxian sat atop the bandit's horse, pointing to the village ahead with a fawning smile: "Brothers, this is it! This village has many wealthy families, enough grain for us to eat for half a month, and quite a few unmarried girls, all very beautiful!"

Sitting on another horse, Liu Yue'er chimed in, "Yes, brothers, this village is far from the market. The Zhao family's guards won't come. We can just rob them and leave without any trouble!"

The eight cultivators, their faces contorted with ferocious smiles, drew their long swords and spurred their horses toward the village.

But just as they rushed into the black pine forest, deafening shouts of battle suddenly erupted all around them.

"Fire arrows!!" A dense barrage of arrows rained down from both sides of the pine forest. The two cultivators at the forefront were instantly riddled with arrows and fell from their horses to their deaths without even a scream.

"Oh no! An ambush!"

The remaining cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They no longer cared about the village and turned their horses around, scattering in all directions. The Zhao family's guards rushed out of the pine forest, numbering more than twenty, each an elite warrior at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Amidst the flashing blades, three more cultivators were cut down.

From beginning to end, not a single cultivator paid any attention to Zhou Chengxian and Liu Yue'er.

Startled, the two horses reared up, throwing Zhou Chengxian and Liu Yue'er violently to the ground.

Zhou Chengxian's dantian was completely destroyed, and he couldn't even stand up. He could only lie on the ground, looking at the Zhao family guards rushing over with fear in his eyes.

The captain of the guards recognized him at a glance and sneered, "Who do we have here? It's Zhou Chengxian, the traitor who colluded with the Blood Fiend Sect and betrayed the market! The patriarch has ordered that anyone who colludes with rogue cultivators or betrays the country is to be killed without exception!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand to nock a bow, and an armor-piercing arrow, tempered with spiritual energy, instantly flew off the bowstring.

With a "thud," the arrow pierced Zhou Chengxian's heart with pinpoint accuracy.

Zhou Chengxian's eyes widened, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth. He couldn't utter a single word of begging for mercy until his death. He could only stare intently in the direction of Qingya Workshop, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. Finally, his head lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.
