A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Upon arriving at the second row, they discovered a collection of medicinal herbs, ranging in age from several decades to several centuries. Apart from the herbs from Yunhua that had seeds, all the other herbs had been taken away.

The third row consisted of various divine weapons, all of which were ordinary weapons. Only one spear was different; its tip was embedded several inches deep into the stone slab. It was made entirely of a mysterious metal, with no trace of forging. Its matte finish made it look extremely heavy. Mysterious runes were engraved on the spear, and a black dragon coiled around it.

Yunhua stepped forward, pulled out the spear, and weighed it slightly, finding it to be several hundred pounds. After injecting Qi into it, he noticed that the spear tip emitted a sharp light. He picked it up and lightly swept it across the ground, creating a deep trench.

"What a treasure! It can't be refined into the body, so it seems to be another ancient treasure." Yun Hua was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that such a barren place as the Seven Mysteries Sect would have such a good thing.

Suddenly, Yunhua noticed a bracelet. However, when Yunhua scanned it with his divine sense, he found that he could not see through it. Yunhua picked up the bracelet.

Injecting Qi into it, I discovered a huge space, about the size of a football field, with one corner piled with spirit stones, pills, and some miscellaneous items.

This is another ancient treasure that can only be used and cannot be claimed as an owner, but it is still a pleasant surprise for Yunhua.

Yunhua guessed that the bracelet, the spear, and the savage beast body were all discovered by a senior member of the Seven Mysteries Sect. Either they discovered the corpse of the cultivator who possessed the ancient treasure, or they discovered his cave.

Unfortunately, this senior lacked spiritual roots and was unable to cultivate the Savage Beast Body, which naturally benefited Yunhua.

He put the spear, medicinal herbs, and some gold and silver into his storage bag, then walked to the last row, where some mineral materials were piled up.

"Hey! Another surprise." Yunhua discovered a piece of meteorite iron the size of a basketball and a piece of gold essence the size of a ping-pong ball. These are enough to forge a decent magic weapon.

"It seems that the Seven Mysteries Sect has collected quite a few good things over the past few hundred years, and they haven't been looted by cultivators. Now it's all mine."

Yunhua stored the meteorite iron and gold essence into her storage bracelet, then turned and left, preparing to return to Lingxi Valley to take stock of her gains.

Yun Hua used his self-created Eight Steps of Heavenly Void, his figure moving like a ghost, fast as lightning, and soon returned to Lingxi Valley.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he probed his storage bracelet with his mind. The first items he found in the Seven Mysteries Sect's treasury were piled up to one side.

After counting the spirit stones, there were approximately 164 top-grade spirit stones. Yunhua didn't need them for the time being; these were for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and using them now would be wasteful.

The thousands of high-grade spirit stones are not needed for the time being, the several thousand mid-grade spirit stones are for Foundation Establishment stage use, and the tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are just right for Yunhua's use.

As for the other half of the elixir, it was discovered that due to the passage of time, it had turned into dregs, which was a pity.

The last pile contains materials, including those for both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages, perfect for Qi Refining.

Finally, there were three jade slips. One of them contained a cultivation technique, a follow-up technique for the Savage Beast Body. It turned out that the storage bracelet and the Panlong Spear were left by an ancient cultivator during the invasion of the ancient demons. As a Core Formation stage cultivator, he could only be considered cannon fodder at that time.

He was unwilling to let his heritage be lost, so he deliberately left behind a branch of the heritage in a region with scarce spiritual energy. The Savage Beast Body was created by him and can only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage, because he himself was at the Core Formation stage and had not yet had time to create a cultivation method for the Nascent Soul stage.

The complete beast body is also of great reference value to Yunhua. This technique also has its unique features. It can refine the essence blood of demon beasts or obtain their innate supernatural abilities. One can obtain a supernatural ability at the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment stage, and Core Formation stage.

As for the second jade slip, it records an ancient body-cultivation combat technique called the Four Forms of the Coiling Dragon. Each form corresponds to a major realm from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul. The Qi Refining stage form is the Divine Dragon Tail Swing, a sweeping attack with a dragon tail extending from the spearhead. It should have the power of a high-grade, superior-level technique, comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage spell.

As for the later parts, Yunhua's cultivation level was too low to see them. The last jade slip contained a crafting inheritance, capable of crafting ancient treasures for the Core Formation stage, but it was outdated and only had reference value.

He took out a low-grade spirit stone and placed it in his palm, then swallowed a Yellow Dragon Pill. With the help of the spirit stone's spiritual power and the pill's medicinal power, he circulated the fourth level of his cultivation technique to temper his muscles, starting from his limbs and working his way up to his entire body.

A week later, with the help of a large number of pills and low-grade spirit stones, Yunhua successfully broke through to the Flesh Refining Realm. With a casual clench of his fist, he possessed the strength of a thousand catties. Although using the Panlong Spear was somewhat difficult, it was enough to wield it.

As he got up and left Lingxi Valley, he saw a group of elders and sect leader Wang Lu waiting outside.

"Elder Yun, we have gathered all the manpower. When would you like to set off to wipe out the Wild Wolf Gang?"

"We'll go today. You only need to deal with the small fry; I'll handle the experts."

Wild Wolf Gang Base

Wang Lu led his disciples to surround Wild Wolf Mountain, while he personally led the elders and elite disciples up the mountain. At this time, Yun Hua had already arrived at the center of the Wild Wolf Gang. There was no enemy around him who could withstand a single blow. The Panlong Spear was powerful and heavy, and anyone who grazed it would die. No weapon could resist it, and all of them were smashed in half.

The Wild Wolf Gang's hall masters and gang leader were besieging Yun Hua, but unfortunately, Yun Hua's strength far surpassed theirs. His Panlong Spear, infused with a large amount of Qi, was practically indestructible, and its terrifying energy could reach three zhang away.

Without exception, they were all swept into mincemeat by Yunhua's spear light. In less than half an hour, there was not a single survivor in the entire Wild Wolf Gang.

Ignoring Wang Lu and the others who had rushed over, Yun Hua headed straight for the Wild Wolf Gang's treasure vault. After opening the vault door, Yun Hua swept the contents with his divine sense and took out several low-grade spirit stones, some century-old medicinal herbs, a piece of Yuan copper the size of an egg, and some low-level demon beast hides and bones.

The most valuable item was a storage bag. Upon opening it, one found over a dozen low-grade spirit stones, a copy of the Crimson Fire Technique for the Qi Refining stage, and two low-grade magic weapons: the Crimson Fire Sword and the Gale Boat.

"What a bunch of paupers, better than nothing." Yun Hua ignored the Seven Mysteries Sect members counting their spoils and quickly returned to Spirit Creek Valley to continue his secluded cultivation.

Time flies when you're in seclusion. When Yunhua emerged from seclusion again, he had already broken through to the seventh level of marrow cleansing. Now, Yunhua's bones are as hard as jade, indestructible. His internal organs are no longer fragile, his digestive and absorption abilities have improved, he is immune to all poisons, and his combat endurance has greatly increased.

The lower dantian was opened, the blood-making function was improved, the bone marrow turned into a light gold color, and it could consume divine power to restore all parts except the brain, greatly improving the ability to survive.

Having opened up two dantian, Yunhua is extremely powerful; no cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining is a match for him.

Looking at the valley where he had spent four years, Yunhua had some thoughts. No longer lingering, he got up and left the valley, preparing to see Han Li again.

Upon arriving outside the Valley of Divine Hands, Yunhua immediately saw Han Li tending to medicinal herbs in the herb field, with Zhang Tie, a guard dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, standing beside him.

Looking at Han Li's cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Zhang Tie who had become a human puppet, Yun Hua was somewhat amazed by the plot's ability to correct itself.

"Brother Han, it's been a long time. I hope you are well."

"Brother Yun, I heard that you displayed great power and wiped out the Wild Wolf Gang three years ago. It seems you are also a cultivator." Han Li was somewhat surprised that Yun Hua had come here.

"It seems Brother Zhang still couldn't escape."

"It seems Brother Yun knew about Doctor Mo's scheme all along." Han Li had some suspicions that Yun Hua knew about Doctor Mo's plot. After all, it was Yun Hua who taught him the Savage Beast Body technique three years ago; otherwise, he would probably have already fallen victim to Doctor Mo's poisonous hands.

"I know a little. Back then, my cultivation level was too low, and I was no match for Doctor Mo, so I gave you the Savage Beast Body to protect yourself."

"Han Li thanks Brother Yun for his help, but it's a pity that Zhang Tie fell victim to Doctor Mo's treachery." Han Li was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining when Doctor Mo ambushed him. If it weren't for his third level of Savage Beast Body, the Blinking Sword Technique, and the Luo Yan Step, he would probably be in grave danger.

Judging from Han Li's cultivation level and aura, Yun Hua believed that he had not been poisoned by the Demon Silver Hand. However, based on Han Li's personality, even if he was ambushed by Doctor Mo, he would not take action against the Mo family after seeing the letter.

"Brother Han is just lucky and has a long life ahead of him. I only offered a little help."

"Brother Yun, do you have any cultivation techniques for the later stages of Qi Refining? I'm willing to exchange them for a thousand-year-old Huangjing that I obtained by chance." After killing Doctor Mo, Han Li only obtained cultivation techniques that led to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Brother Han's cultivation technique is called Everlasting Spring Technique. I do not have any subsequent techniques, but I do have a fire-attribute technique that covers all levels of the Qi Refining stage, the Crimson Fire Technique. I wonder if Brother Han would like it?"

"Thank you, Brother Yun. Just in case, I'll make the exchange with you!" Han Li wasn't sure if he could get the follow-up techniques of the Everlasting Spring Skill.

"Haha! I was just joking with Brother Han. Changchun Gong is only a basic cultivation technique for the Qi Refining stage. There should be subsequent cultivation techniques for sale at the Tainan Small Gathering in Tainan Mountain. It's best not to switch cultivation techniques during the Qi Refining stage."

"Oh! By the way, Brother Han, I have the follow-up cultivation techniques for the Beast Body here, enough for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, so I'll give them to you as well."

Yunhua took out the Crimson Fire Technique and the complete Beast Body Technique and handed them to the dumbfounded Han Li.

Han Li was somewhat surprised. He only knew about the Qi Refining stage, and had never heard of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Thank you, Brother Yun. May I ask what the Nascent Soul stage is? Could you elaborate?" Han Li accepted the jade slip.

Yunhua then realized that Han Li was unaware of these practices in the cultivation world, so she slowly explained to him the basics of cultivation, various cultivation arts, sects, and so on.

"Thank you, Brother Yun. Please accept these two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs." Han Li was somewhat excited. He was only at the Qi Refining stage, yet he had already obtained a cultivation technique that could lead to the Nascent Soul stage.

"By the way, Brother Han, don't carry around these thousand-year-old spiritual herbs anymore. They're treasures that even Core Formation cultivators would covet," Yun Hua said, accepting the two herbs and reminding him again.

"Thank you for letting me know." Han Li was somewhat annoyed that his secret might have been discovered.

“Brother Han, everyone has their own secrets and opportunities, and so do I. However, not everyone in the cultivation world is like me. I came here to say goodbye to you, Brother Han. I plan to leave and explore the world.”

"Brother Yun, take care on your journey. I still have a long time to cultivate in Divine Hand Valley. I wish you a long and healthy life on your journey."

Chapter Twenty-One: Taiyue Mountain Market

After bidding farewell to Han Li and leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect, Yun Hua boarded the Swift Wind Boat and headed towards Jiayuan City, since he didn't know where the Immortal Cultivation Market was.

Upon arriving in Jiayuan City, Yunhua planned to rest for a while. After all, the Qi Refining stage required a long time to control the Gale Boat, and both his Qi and body needed rest and recovery.

Along the way, Yunhua also saw the Mo family mansion, but did not disturb them. She went directly to Jiayuan Restaurant, asked the waiter to bring her a few specialty dishes, and then sat by the window watching the flow of people outside.

Just as the waiter was serving the dishes, Yunhua took out two taels of silver and asked him, "Brother waiter, do you know where around Jiayuan City there are any traces of cultivators?"

"Thank you, sir. Forty li southwest of Guanggui City in Lanzhou is Tainan Mountain. I've heard that some people have seen cultivators there." The waiter put away the silver and said obsequiously to Yunhua.

"Guanggui City, Tainan Mountain, it seems the Tainan Small Gathering is located there," Yunhua mused.

After spending the night at Jiayuan Restaurant, Yunhua, having found out the location of Guanggui City, headed out of the city the next day.

Upon reaching a secluded spot, Yunhua piloted the Swiftwind Boat towards Guanggui City. After three and a half days of travel with frequent stops, they finally arrived in Guanggui City at noon.

I randomly picked an inn, ordered a few dishes, and just as I sat down, I heard voices from the next table.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, I’ve discovered a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s cave dwelling in Tai Nan Mountain. If it weren’t for our good relationship, I would never have told you. How about it, do you want to come with me?” a short, stocky man whispered.

"Thank you for the invitation, fellow railway worker. It's certainly no problem."

After lunch, the two quickly headed towards Tainan Mountain.

Yunhua, skilled and daring, concealed himself and quietly followed the two. After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at a secluded place.

"See the cave on the cliff? This is the cave dwelling of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator that I mentioned, which is protected by an array."

"Fellow Daoist Tie, let's go in together," the cultivator surnamed Zhang said eagerly.

As the two reached the foot of the cliff, the cultivator surnamed Tie suddenly pulled out an axe and chopped it down at the skull of the man surnamed Zhang.

At the same time, the man surnamed Zhang threw a flying needle at the brow of the kind-looking man surnamed Tie.

While attacking simultaneously, the two also dodged each other's attacks.

"Not bad for his vigilance, but he's still going to die!" The cultivator surnamed Tie rode the wind away from the cultivator surnamed Zhang, while another alluring female cultivator who was lying in ambush activated the formation, trapping the cultivator surnamed Zhang inside.

"Haha! Well done, let's see how you escape." The cultivator surnamed Tie summoned a high-grade magic weapon, the Magic-Breaking Cone, and attacked the one surnamed Zhang in the formation. The female cultivator also summoned a precious pearl and released poisonous smoke.

"Hmph! I think you're the ones who deserve to die! Two mere Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators." The cultivator surnamed Zhang directly revealed his Qi Refining Eleventh Level cultivation, while simultaneously using a tortoise-shell magic artifact to block the awl and poisonous smoke.

With a heavy heart, he pulled out a formation-breaking talisman, stuck it on the formation, and after a flash of light, the formation collapsed. Zhang then summoned a flying sword and killed the female cultivator at lightning speed, before flying towards the cultivator surnamed Tie.

"Not good!" The cultivator surnamed Tie quickly used several Vajra Talismans and Earth Wall Talismans, trying to hold out for a moment, but unfortunately his head was still cut off.

"Come out! Still hiding?" The cultivator surnamed Zhang used a fireball technique to fly towards a clump of grass opposite Yunhua.

A sleazy man was forced out and quickly ran away into the distance.

The man surnamed Zhang hurriedly chased after him, summoned his flying sword, and killed the lewd man in a short time.

The lewd man suddenly revealed a sinister smile, and a fireball talisman flew towards a certain spot on the path in front of the man surnamed Zhang.

"Damn it! No good! How dare you... I am..." Before the man surnamed Zhang could finish speaking, a violent explosion rang out. Although he managed to summon his tortoise shell magic weapon in time, he was still severely injured and was thrown away like a rag doll.

"Haha! This is what they call the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" The lewd man swaggered up to the cultivator surnamed Zhang.

Just as he was about to unleash his flying knife to kill Zhang, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly produced an umbrella-shaped magical artifact.

"It's a talisman! I hate it!" He was then pinned to the cliff by a giant sword, and his umbrella was also thrown away.

"Hahaha! In the end, I was still the better one," the man surnamed Zhang stood up, staggered, took out a pill, and slowly put it into his mouth.

"Is that so?" With a soft thud, the man surnamed Zhang was pierced through the chest by an old man wielding a long sword, and he spoke slowly.

"Despicable scoundrel!" Zhang died with resentment.

Before long, the old man collected the storage bags of the man surnamed Tie, the man surnamed Zhang, the lewd man, and the female cultivator, as well as the scattered magical artifacts. He then fired a few fireballs to destroy the evidence, and then sprinkled a kind of potion on his body and the battlefield to erase his own scent.

Just as the old man was about to turn and leave, a jet-black spear pierced through the defensive talismans, armor, robes, and inner armor that the old man had been constantly covered in, killing him instantly.

"Pfft! Wow~ It's actually a magic weapon!" After saying that, the old man was thrown away by Yun Hua and was dead beyond any doubt.

"You were cautious enough, almost the last to appear, handled the situation well, and had enough protective gear. It's a pity you ran into me."

Yunhua drew his spear, put the five storage bags into his storage bracelet, put away the three defensive magic artifacts on the old man's body, and then followed the old man's procedure again, reciting the Rebirth Mantra a few times.

Yunhua arrived at the cave on the stone wall. Yunhua's spiritual senses felt something was wrong, but after entering, she found that there was nothing unusual.

Just as Yunhua was about to leave the cave, he suddenly stopped, took out the Panlong Spear, and began to strike the stone wall as he walked in.

As Yunhua reached a corner, he sensed something was wrong with the sound. He channeled his Qi into the Panlong Spear, and the indestructible spear light carved a hole in the mountain wall. After digging five or six meters in, the hole was completely hollowed out. There was no stone wall in front of him; it was a space.

It turns out that the tunnel Yunhua dug was the correct route through the mountain cave, and the other path was just a deception; once you reached the end, there was no way out.

Yunhua discovered this by carefully observing the difference in color between the innermost and outermost stone walls of the cave. It can only be said that in the dim cave, he could still notice the difference in color, which shows that he was extremely meticulous.

Upon entering the stone chamber, Yunhua discovered that it was a vast and secluded place. The chamber was divided into two rooms. Yunhua entered the one directly opposite the other and found a pill furnace in the middle, with many medicinal herbs and jade bottles on the medicine shelf next to it.

The second room served as both a study and a bedroom. Upon entering, one could see a corpse sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, dressed in a Taoist robe with a storage bag tied around its waist. The bookshelf next to it contained a dozen or so ancient books.

Yunhua put the corpse, the alchemy furnace, and other miscellaneous items into her storage bracelet. Just as she was about to leave, she sensed something was wrong.

"How could the cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator be so poor and lacking in spiritual energy, making it impossible to meet the cultivation needs of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?"

Yunhua turned around, took out the Panlong Spear, and tapped the walls around the cave one by one. Finally, he found something wrong on the stone wall next to the stone bed.

After chiseling through the wall and going more than ten meters deep, they came to a cavity. Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted out. Yunhua, relying on her immunity to all poisons, did not hold her breath.

"It's a floral scent, probably from lotus flowers. This fragrance seems to have a calming and invigorating effect," Yunhua murmured to herself.

Upon entering, one finds a thick stalagmite, resembling white jade, hanging from the cave ceiling at its deepest point, with nectar dripping from its tip.

Below, a pool of water, about four feet in diameter, was formed, filled with the rich spiritual liquid of the millennium-old earth milk, and a strong spiritual energy wafted over.

On the water's surface, three water lilies, radiating a dreamy glow, exude a refreshing fragrance.
