Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"Could it be...?"

Zhao Sheng's heart suddenly gave rise to a thought.

He immediately set the stick askew, waving his hand to condense a water dragon that repeatedly washed over the surface of the stick.

As the thick layer of blood scabs was washed away, the stick gradually revealed its true texture.

The stick looked as if it had been melted by high heat and then solidified again.

The uneven surface was riddled with glass-like, smooth, molten crystals, but in some pits, there were a few grains of sand-sized and flashing with blue light, mysterious metal particles.

"Is this... could this be Geng Metal?!" Zhao Sheng exclaimed in astonishment.

"What?"

Hearing Zhao Sheng's out-of-character exclamation, Zhao Jijian and the other person were immediately alarmed and hurried over to check.

Upon inspection, both were also shocked.

Geng Metal?!

In the Cultivation World, among the thousands of Gold Element Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only Geng Metal from beyond the Nine Heavens emitted this kind of unique, mysterious blue light.

If it was truly Geng Metal, then all the people from the Zhao family who died for Lush Peach Mountain this time, it would be considered worth it.

It must be known that Geng Metal was a high-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, usually used for refining Magical Treasures.

In the Cultivation World, there is a very special category of Magical Treasures called Sword Pills.

Sword Pills are the highest level among Fake Pills. Sword Cultivators who upgrade using Sword Pills, their strength is not inferior to other Golden Core Masters who have formed a Golden Core.

Therefore, Sword Pills have always been the most cherished treasure of Sword Cultivators, and Geng Metal is the most core treasure material for refining Geng Gold Sword Pills.

After repeated inspection by the three people, they unanimously believed that the blue light spirit gold was indeed the legendary Geng Metal.

Zhao Sheng ceased his smile and decisively said, "Geng Metal is a derivative of Taibai Gold Essence. This Geng Gold Stick is enough to prove that there must be a Geng Metal Mine near Lush Peach Mountain."

The reason why Zhao Sheng was so certain was determined by the special properties of Taibai Gold Essence.

Taibai Gold Essence from beyond the heavens autonomously diffuses a type of radiation-like, peculiar spirit light. This peculiar spirit light can transform nearby metals into sub-grade spirit gold, also known as Geng Metal.

Zhao Jijian and Zhao Keru looked at each other with faces full of excitement and then nodded heavily.

Compared to a potential Geng Metal Mine, the treasures in the stone room became less important.

The three of them made a quick inventory. Ordinary Magical Treasures, Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills, refining materials and medicinal herbs, Storage Bags, and so forth are not worth mentioning in detail; in any case, they were a great variety, all left behind by that unlucky family.

Just these items alone made the Zhao family not only recover their initial investment but also made a huge fortune.

Just with Magical Treasures alone, after allocating two pieces per person among the Zhao Family, there were still leftovers.

This made the three of them couldn't help but marvel at how deep the foundations of the ten Cultivation Forces were, to the point where even an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family was extremely wealthy.

Besides the aforementioned items, there were several treasures that the three especially valued.

First of all, there were four Spiritual Artifacts. The first was a damaged Spirit Fire Gourd, containing inside the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire Red Spirit Flame, usable for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

This Spirit Fire Gourd was directly taken into possession by Zhao Keru.

The second was a bright red Magic Robe taken from the body of the red-robed elder; Zhao Jijian didn't mind that it was worn by a deceased, and directly put it on.

The remaining two Spiritual Artifacts were a dark black seal and twelve small flags with a red glow on their surface, constantly emitting an extremely sweet scent.

Apart from the Spiritual Artifacts, the most important find this time was a Turtle Shield Talisman Treasure.

This, too, was contributed by the red-robed elder.

Well, from this perspective, the man can be regarded as an old man who gives away treasures.

This Turtle Shell Talisman Treasure had already been used twice, but it still had one chance left for use.

Even so, it was exceptionally precious.

After mutually deferring to each other for a while, because Zhao Sheng was the youngest, he ultimately had to accept it.

An hour later, the three had sorted out the spoils of war and immediately summoned all clan members, distributing part of the treasures among them. Not to mention that at least one Magic Artifact per person was given, but also three hundred Spirit Stones and additional Elixir Pills.

Since ancient times, military achievements have been most significant, and rewards should be given sooner rather than later. The three distributed the spoils so early in accordance with this principle.

At the time when the members of the Zhao family were sharing the profits from the battle of Lush Peach Mountain, countless Cultivation Forces in this Desolate Domain had also launched their campaigns to clear mountains and slay demons one after another.

At the same time, a conspiracy surrounding the war for territory expansion had also begun.

In a Mang Forest where ancient trees touched the sky, more than twenty demon wolves were leaping up and down, besieging a Second-tier Flower-patterned Spiritual Deer.

Beside them, on the branch of an ancient tree thick enough to be embraced, stood a silver-white giant wolf the size of a calf with crescent-shaped patterns on its forehead.

At this moment, the alpha wolf was watching the Second Rank Spirit Deer below intently, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Suddenly, a petite figure emerged beside the alpha wolf.

As soon as Huan Niang appeared, she waved her hand and scattered Enchanting God Illusion Light. The mere Second Order demon beasts had absolutely no power to resist and were enchanted by the Enchanting God Illusion Light instantly.

Huan Niang casually planted a thought in the alpha wolf's Soul Sea, "The Human Clan must die. When the White Feather Flower blooms, immediately lead the wolf pack to attack the humans."

At the same time, she conveniently designated the nearby settlements of the human race.

After doing all this, Huan Niang's figure flashed, and she teleported away.

Since leaving Pig Emperor Ridge, Huan Niang has been doing things like planting suggestions into lower-grade demon beasts.

Moreover, she planned to continue doing so until the day the White Feather Flower bloomed.

The most formidable aspect of a beast tide was its scale and suddenness.

A few demons attacking the Human Clan would hardly have any effect; they would only end up delivering spoils of war to the humans.

Furthermore, no matter how numerous the First or Second Order demon beasts are, they cannot harm the essence of the Human Clan.

Huan Niang was acting casually; what she valued the most were the powerful demons of Third-tier and above that could contend with Golden Core Masters.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, those above the third-tier already possessed spiritual wisdom, and it was very difficult to enchant them with merely Enchanting God Illusion Light.

In order to achieve her goal, Huan Niang, as a Seventh Rank Demon, did not hesitate to lower her stance, tirelessly and personally persuading or defeating the rebellious demons one by one.

Huan Niang was merely passing by earlier; her target was a Third-stage Earth Splitting Demon Bear in the Black Pine Forest a hundred miles away.

Zhao Sheng and the others did not know that when the White Feather Flower bloomed next year, a devastating beast calamity was about to strike the countless Cultivation Forces in this Desolate Domain.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng was stationed at Lush Peach Mountain, leading the clan members to gradually expand the territory while also being responsible for constructing a safe settlement for long-term residence.

The other two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Zhao family had already taken the Cloud Boat, escorting the spoils of war back to Taifu Mountain.

After returning to Lush Peach Mountain, the two also needed to exchange part of the spoils for a variety of supplies to develop Lush Peach Mountain.

As the Cloud Boat returned to Taifu Mountain, Zhao Sheng called Zhao Xuanjing over, revealed to him the secret of the Geng Metal Mine and secretly ordered him to search for the location of the Geng Metal Mine nearby.

A little while later, Zhao Xuanjing took his leave to carry out the mission.

One day later, Zhao Sheng placed twelve Spirit Banners around Lush Peach Mountain.

At this point, the Zhao Clan Members were surprised to see that the peach blossom miasma above Lush Peach Mountain was swiftly flowing towards the twelve Spirit Banners and being quickly absorbed and refined by them.

As the peach blossom miasma gradually dissipated, the banners' surfaces shone more brilliantly, and clumps of rosy clouds began to condense on the banners.

In the end, the rosy clouds actually detached from the banners, autonomously forming a thick and extremely sweet pink Divine Light around the Spirit Banners.

This Divine Light, the further refined product of the peach blossom miasma, was not only extremely toxic but also alluring to the mind.

Cultivators below Foundation Establishment who took a single whiff would die instantly, while those above Foundation Establishment, even if they did not die, would be so enchanted by their own illusions that they could not extricate themselves.
