I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

Ma Ke quickly took out more than a dozen high-grade fire spirit stones from the storage bag he obtained from Xue Wenzhou. Then he ran the "Open Source Limitless Technique" to absorb, refine, and finally convert the pure fire attribute spiritual energy inside into true qi to fill his nearly depleted dantian.

Half a day later, the fire-attribute true energy became abundant again.

Then, he took out a storage bag belonging to a disciple of Qimen Valley, and sure enough, he found a lot of fire spirit stones and earth spirit stones inside, each numbering over a hundred, all of which were still of high quality.

It seems that all the sects have spared no expense to achieve victory, which allowed Ma Ke, who had only ever seen mid-grade spirit stones before, to indulge in such a luxury.

As for why the Qimen Valley disciples, who mainly cultivate earth-attribute cultivation, had so many fire spirit stones in their storage bags, it was naturally obtained from the Ziyang Sect disciples they had killed.

Then, he took out more earth spirit stones and replenished his earth-attribute true energy.

After doing all that, he began to sort through his spoils, which totaled six storage bags, five from Qimen Valley and one from Giant Sword Pavilion.

According to the statistics: there are 613 high-grade earth spirit stones, 472 high-grade wood spirit stones, 442 high-grade fire spirit stones, 167 high-grade gold spirit stones, and 83 high-grade water spirit stones.

The person who made the greatest contribution was from the Giant Sword Pavilion. Almost all of those wood spirit stones came from him. The Giant Sword Pavilion's main cultivation method is metal-based, which is probably why one of the Myriad Talisman Sect's teams ran into him.

In addition, there were over one hundred bottles of various healing and qi-restoring pills, over four hundred talismans, thirty-nine magical artifacts, over twenty sets of array plates and flags, and over sixty jade boxes and bottles for storing spiritual herbs, fruits, liquids, and materials...

Looking at the dazzling array of treasures, even the accustomed-to-poverty Ma Ke could not hide his excitement.

Sure enough, the most dangerous thing in this secret realm is not the various monsters, but people. It's much faster to just rob them than to search slowly.

This further solidified his resolve to stick to his previous plan.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Such a good opportunity, once missed, will not be easy to come by again.

However, the most important thing right now is to improve his earth attribute cultivation. This was also the main reason why he followed the group from Qimen Valley before, in order to obtain the earth spirit stones they carried.

One by one, the top-grade earth spirit stones slowly lost their luster in his hands until they became completely useless stones.

Fourteen days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ma Ke took the initiative to change his position in order to avoid conflict with a group of demonic beasts.

He slowly opened his eyes, threw away the gray stone in his hand, and thought with a hint of joy, "My earth attribute cultivation has finally reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

To do this, he consumed nearly three hundred high-grade earth spirit stones, which also included the earth-attribute true energy contributed by some of the deceased disciples of the Ziyang Sect.

Although it cost a lot, it was worth it to raise my earth attribute cultivation from level seven to level nine in such a short time, because strength is the most important thing.

Now, Ma Ke is going to use this fundamental principle to earn even more back.

"It's already the twenty-first day, there's no time to waste." Ma Ke immediately changed into the attire of a Qimen Valley disciple and headed directly towards the nearest Ziyang Sect team shown in the "Open Source Limitless Skill".

There was nothing he could do; he knew too little about this place, and from the people from Qimen Valley and Giant Sword Pavilion, he learned that they seemed to be trying to stop some plan of the Ziyang Sect.

In this way, by keeping an eye on the Ziyang Sect's group, it will be easier to encounter people from other sects.

After traveling more than twenty miles stealthily, they saw a battle breaking out in the northeast direction.

So he turned around without hesitation and approached carefully.

It turned out that a team from the Heavenly Puppet Sect was fighting a nest of strange rats, presumably over a few dark spirit fruits on a low tree.

There were eight strange rats of varying sizes, while the Heavenly Puppet Sect only had four inner disciples.

However, the Heavenly Puppet Sect is famous for controlling puppets. At this time, there are more than ten puppets flying in the sky and running on the ground. On average, each strange rat has to deal with two puppets.

Although these strange rats have powerful claws and teeth and can spew poisonous mist, these puppets are insensitive to pain, and their intelligence is far inferior to that of humans.

So, after the four strange rats were killed one after another, the remaining four squeaked and ran away.

The people from the Heavenly Puppet Sect did not pursue them, because in the secret realm, the higher-level demons had all been killed by the elders of the various sects. The remaining first-level demons were the least valuable compared to rare and precious materials, so there was no need to waste time.

The group quickly picked the spiritual fruit and packed it into a jade box.

Just then, someone shouted, "Watch out for the ground!"

As he spoke, he immediately flew into the sky.

However, one person was a step too slow to react. His buttocks were pierced by a spike, and his dantian was also greatly shaken, causing his true qi to surge wildly. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof" sound and was instantly seriously injured.

"Damn it, he's from Qimen Valley. He dares to launch a sneak attack all by himself. Kill him!"

Enraged, the group waved their hands, and more than a dozen puppets rushed towards Ma Ke.

Ma Ke quickly formed several hand seals, then made a downward grabbing motion with his right palm before violently lifting it upwards. Dozens of feet of ground were lifted up and swept towards the fiercely attacking puppet.

Some of these puppets spat out earth spikes, water jets, and golden arrows, while others used their sturdy bodies to ram into the ground, quickly tearing apart the thick layer of earth.

At this moment, Ma Ke had already completed the hand seals, and a clay dragon more than ten feet long rolled up, its giant tail sweeping away the two puppets in one fell swoop.

The two dragon claws swiftly met the two charging puppets, grabbing them and pressing them to the ground, breaking them in two.

At the same time, seven or eight beams of light of different colors struck the dragon, causing earth and stones to fly everywhere, but they did not cause much damage to the dragon.

Seeing that it would be difficult to eliminate the earth dragon in a short time, the group flicked their fingers and immediately commanded three of the puppets to attack Ma Ke from three directions.

Two strange birds flew from the sky, one on the left and one on the right, while a tiger-shaped puppet sprinted down from the ground.

Ma Ke quickly formed several hand seals, then raised both hands into the air. With a whooshing sound, earthen arrows shot out from the ground, heading straight for the two strange birds.

Upon seeing this, the two strange birds hurriedly shook their bodies to dodge, but the earth arrows were too dense, hitting the strange birds with a crackling sound, and the strange birds were immediately unable to fly.

At the same time, the tiger puppet on the ground leaped high into the air, preparing to grab Ma Ke with its claws.

As Ma Ke leaped back, he extended his right hand upwards, and a giant hand made of earth and stone suddenly rose from the ground, grabbing the tiger puppet's neck and slamming it down.

With a loud crash, the tiger puppet's neck snapped.

Without even glancing at them, Ma Ke leaped forward, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, then he raised them upwards, sending a rain of arrows hurtling towards the three people controlling the puppets.

The group was all taken aback, not expecting that the other party could control several powerful spells at the same time. No wonder he dared to act alone.

So they quickly used their respective magical weapons to defend themselves.

In this way, without their timely control, the puppets were no match for the dragon. After knocking away two of them, the dragon swiftly pounced on one of them.

With a loud bang, the disciple and his magical artifact flew backward, then fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In a short period of time, only two of the four were still able to fight, but they were quickly at a significant disadvantage.

Although they all tried their best, they were all injured one after another.

At that moment, Ma Ke's hoarse voice rang out: "You should know that killing you would be as easy as turning my hand."

"However, I only want your money, not your lives. Hand over all your valuables and I may spare your lives."
