Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

That's the situation right now.

Before the cultivators arrived, Lingyun had already performed calculations and generated various solutions in less than 0.1 nanoseconds.

This is the terrifying aspect of artificial intelligence. Although it cannot predict the future, it relies on computing power to ensure that no unexpected situation deviates from expectations, and it can easily achieve targeted action.

This naturally includes the group of cultivators in front of us who are playing palace intrigue games!

Want to reason things out and set rules?

Okay, then I'll make the temptation even greater.

So Lingyun began to break the deadlock.

Without the little girl making any move, commands were sent out through the satellite network.

……

And then, in the next moment.

In the bamboo forest, the strange phenomenon still caught the eye.

Cultivators continued to arrive in the sky.

However, they didn't actually fight; they just talked back and forth.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong..."

The speaker was a man in his early twenties with an ordinary appearance. However, despite his unremarkable appearance, he was the most outstanding disciple of Danxia Pavilion, one of the five major sects, who had entered the secret realm this time.

He is also one of the most prestigious prodigies among these hundreds of cultivators.

Gu Baizhi is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, possessing profound cultivation. However, no one knows his exact strength, as he rarely makes a move.

However, there have always been rumors that his combat strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of Wei Lichun, the young master of Broken Soul Valley.

Although there was no evidence for such rumors, it was an undeniable fact that Wei Lichun, who was always proud and aloof, did not go to his door to cause trouble because of them.

The Fellow Daoist Nangong mentioned by Gu Baizhi was naturally no ordinary cultivator, but the most prestigious prodigy of the Tai Xuan Sect, one of the five major sects.

Although the five major sects are on par, there are naturally differences in their foundation and strength if we really compare them.

Among them, the Tai Xuan Sect is superior.

The reason is simple: this sect has a Grand Elder at the Nascent Soul stage...

And this Nangong Jun is the only blood relative of that Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

In fact, Nangong Jun is not particularly talented or capable; he is just an average person. But with such a powerful backer, who would dare not give him some face?

Normally, even when facing a Golden Core Ancestor, he is full of confidence. I don't know why someone with such a background would participate in this trial.

Perhaps, that Patriarch Nangong wanted the younger generation to have more experience and challenges!

Nangong Jun's own strength may not be particularly remarkable, but his status and position are undeniable. Moreover, no one knows what treasures the Nascent Soul Ancestor will bestow upon him. Therefore, even a top genius like Gu Baizhi dares not underestimate him in the slightest.

Now is the perfect time to talk to them in a friendly manner.

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

The strange phenomenon deep in the bamboo forest ahead suddenly changed.

Originally, it was just a silvery glow with a hint of rainbow color. Although we knew that a treasure was about to be born, we couldn't actually judge the quality of the treasure based on this one unusual phenomenon alone.

This is why the cultivators did not engage in a major fight.

It's not just about mutual respect and fear of being targeted by the strong; the most crucial point is that no one knows whether the risk is worthwhile.

That's why everyone was arguing and scheming at the same time, while keeping an eye on the depths of the bamboo forest.

However, at that moment, the silvery light in the bamboo forest suddenly dissipated, replaced by a dazzling golden light that shot straight into the sky.

At the same time, the cultivators present almost simultaneously smelled a refreshing fragrance of medicinal pills. The fragrance was not strong, but it went straight to the lungs. Just one breath made people feel comfortable all over.

A faint mist of crimson smoke rose from the bamboo forest...

"Ah, this..."

The monks present were all stunned.

Someone couldn't help but swallow hard, and a muttered voice reached their ears: "What am I seeing? Is an ancient elixir about to be born?"

"Such spiritual essence, such remarkable quality, this elixir must be extraordinary!"

……

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Then, no one knows who made the first move, but figures shot out from their original positions and rushed madly into the depths of the bamboo forest.

As the saying goes, wealth can move people's hearts. Although the cultivators present were not fools, they were, in the end, just novices at the Qi Refining level. After more than ten years of cultivation, how deep could their cunning and experience be? They could hold back when the situation was unclear, but at this moment, they all fell into madness.

The treasure was just ahead, and they had no time to think, nor did they care to weigh the pros and cons. They only knew that such a treasure must not fall into the hands of others, and that if they were the lucky ones, they would be rich in the future.

One step to the sky!

This thought crossed many people's minds, and the original stalemate was suddenly broken, with everyone rushing forward without any hesitation.

"hateful!"

Gu Baizhi's face was extremely ugly.

This was not the outcome he wanted to see, but he couldn't stop it now. No one can go against the tide. So, although he felt uneasy, he could only be swept along and rush forward.

"You cowards are truly courting death! You rats dare to compete with me for treasures!"

Nangong Jun's somewhat exasperated voice reached his ears, his eyes flashing with greed and desire. With a cold snort, this纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled young master) directly summoned his treasure and attacked a cultivator in front of him.

"you……"

The cultivator was filled with shock and anger. Naturally, he would not sit idly by and wait to die. He flicked his sleeves and wanted to turn around and fight back. However, when his eyes fell on the treasure in front of him, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

"A talisman, a talisman treasure?"

His voice was hoarse, and his face was filled with disbelief.

The next moment, his head was severed by the golden light that flew by. Nangong Jun's lips were full of sarcasm: "What a bumpkin. It's just a mere talisman. What's there to make a fuss about?"

After saying this, he too was enveloped in a blue light and charged towards the bamboo forest ahead. At the same time, a ferocious look flashed across his face as he roared, "Get out of my way! Those who block my way shall die!"

This guy unleashed those two treasures in one go.

One for defense, one for offense!

Moreover, these were all treasures that even Foundation Establishment cultivators would keep hidden. In an instant, their entire bodies were filled with dazzling golden light as they charged and crashed about.

"hateful!"

The cultivators present were all stunned.

Among beings of the same level, they had never seen such an arrogant and domineering person who was also so generous. For a moment, no one dared to confront him directly and could only retreat while cursing.

Nangong Jun's smile grew increasingly arrogant, accompanied by an indescribable swagger, as he charged forward without any restraint.

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

Whoosh!

Silently, a silver flying sword, like a swimming fish, slashed viciously at him from the side.
