“What, are you kidding me? The Sect Master of Spirit Pill Mountain is just a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage. How can they compare with our Thunder Cloud Mountain?” The woman was surprised and couldn’t help but shout.

“Why do I have to lie to you?” This news is from an insider, Spirit Pill Mountain is not only good at Alchemy, in the dark, many elders had also entered seclusion to cultivate. In addition to experts at the level as us, there are even old monsters in the Nascent Soul Stage.” The old man said with a solemn expression, “I was being conservative when I said this, maybe their strength is even better than Thunder Cloud Mountain..”

The female cultivator bit her lip, still not believing it. The old man glanced at her and sneered, “Junior sister, I never exaggerate. Otherwise, why do you think those forces left so soon? After all, the Heavenly Dust Pill matter is just a rumor, and they don’t want to offend such a powerful sect. It should be noted that with them being alchemists, everyone would have to respect them. But if there are Core Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage experts in the sect, it’s a different matter entirely. The Cultivation World is where the fist is right, and where the strong eat the weak.”

“So, we’ll have to return in vain?” The female cultivator was quite unwilling.

“If not, since Spirit Pill Mountain hid such a large force, our secret surveillance should definitely be compromised. If Lin Xuan really led the people who followed him to the Zombie Valley, it must be those old monsters who secretly instructed him to teach us a little lesson.”

“Alas…” The woman sighed, “Senior Brother Wu is also quite unfortunate. She’s his only child and is usually spoiled to the heavens. This time, she took the initiative to contribute to the sect, but something like this happened.”

The old man was silent and said after a while, “Although Senior Brother Wu is a Core Formation Stage cultivator like is, but after all, he’s the master of this Sect. Therefore, Wu Yuner’s affairs can’t be settled this way. We have to ask our Martial Uncle how to deal with this matter. As for the two of us, we have to kill all the zombies in this valley as an explanation to the Sect Master.”

“Yes, let’s do it now.”

After she finished speaking, her figure flashed along with the old man. Floating forward.

Watching their figures gradually disappear in fog, Lin Xuan walked out for his hiding spot, he touched his chin and had a thoughtful expression on his face.

There was nowhere to look for it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to find it.1It means that his iron shoes were worn out trying to find it, but still couldn’t. Not expecting to find it without any effort later. He didn’t expect that he would inadvertently hear so many secrets after coming here to capture zombies.[1]

What made Lin Xuan the most delighted is that the danger in Spirit Pill Mountain had been lifted, so now he could safely continue his cultivation in the sect.

As for the issue of traitors, Daoist Tong Yu and those hidden old monsters could worry about it. It didn’t have much to do with himself.

It was just that…

I didn’t expect that the daughter of the Thunder Cloud Mountain’s sect master would be among those who followed me. Listening to those two people, I am afraid that this matter may be quite difficult to deal with. Thankfully, they’re concerned about my identity and didn’t take any drastic measures.

However, the head of Thunder Cloud Mountain, who was suffering from the loss of his daughter, must hate him to the bones.

Thinking of the other party’s cultivation base and the authority in his hands, Lin Xuan felt a chill on his back. He secretly decided never to come out of Spirit Pill Mountain easily after returning this time.

After all, he’s still the junior Sect Master in name, whether for face or other purposes, Daoist Tong Yu will protect him.

In addition to this, there was another piece of information that excited Lin Xuan. The Heavenly Dust Pill’s recipe was actually passed down to the sect.

He has already got some trash Heavenly Dust Pills in his hands, and they could be purified.

Moreover, according to the rumors, consuming only one Heavenly Dust Pill could easily help a cultivator condense a Golden Core by an expert in the False Core Stage, but he knew his own situation. For a cultivator like himself without a Spiritual Root, he couldn’t be judged with common sense at all.

To achieve Foundation Establishment, those genius disciples only needed one Mid-grade Pill to succeed. But he consumed nearly a hundred Top-grade Pills and just barely succeeded.

Therefore, although he had three Heavenly Dust Pills in his hands, of course, it was more secure to obtain its recipe.

As for its materials, they were quite hard to find. As well as the problem of the flame, he could slowly think about it later.

Lin Xuan thought to himself. Suddenly, a shocking roar fell into his ears, and when he raised his head, he saw a red and blue light shining in front of him. The pair of cultivators had made a move.

A trace of hesitation flashed across his face, but soon, he made a choice. His body emitted a red glow, and his figure gradually blurred and blended into the fog.

Although his cultivation base was not high, Lin Xuan was quite satisfied with this Qi Concealing technique. As long as he was careful, he wouldn’t be discovered.

At this moment, the man and the woman attacked the largest zombie lair in the Yin Corpse Valley. With some angry roars, a group of green-haired monsters rushed out of the cave.

Compared to the small zombies captured by Lin Xuan, these monsters appeared more bloodthirsty. Feeling the breath of life, they immediately rushed towards them with blood-red eyes.

“Huh, one, two, three…There are actually seventeen monsters that reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. It’s no wonder our two Martial Nephews fell.”

The female cultivator snorted, raised her hand, and a red-like Treasure suddenly appeared on the top of her head. It was her Natal Magic Artifact, the Fire Spirit Silk.

It was made from the silk thread of the Fire Silkworm that lived in extremely hot places. It was not only tough and durable but also had a bonus effect on fire-attributed spells. In addition to this woman’s nearly a hundred years of nourishment, its power was astonishing.

As soon as she activated it, he saw a red glow all over the sky, which blocked in front of her body like a waterfall.

Zombies naturally did not know fear, and still rushed over.

“Courting Death!”

The female cultivator gave a cold sneer. She used a Magic Art and made an orchid-shaped finger2A hand gesture with the tips of the thumb and the forefinger touching and the other three fingers raised (made in traditional Chinese operas to show delicacy and grace), and pointed it at the red diamond-shaped glow in front of her.

Whoosh, that red diamond glow shuttled around and quickly turned into a huge red sphere, which wrapped her and the old man in it.

Then, with a bang, a raging fire ignited on the red diamond glow’s surface, and it sprayed in all directions.
