No sooner said than done

The raccoon brat pressed its rear end against the worm's gaping maw, then kicked it away.

Seeing this, Shang Yanting stopped suppressing his strength and unleashed the Kuchan Slash, transforming the vast demonic power of the Demon Sect realm into a sharp blade.

Wherever the sharp blade went, the worms were shredded into minced meat, and a bloody path was instantly opened in front of them.

A man and a bear passed through the wall of fleshworms.

Are you alright?

Once it was safe, Shang Yanting immediately lowered his head and asked.

"fine."

Upon hearing this, the raccoon stuck out its bottom and tilted its head to look, saying, "The fur that the host personally implanted in me is very strong."

The worm had so many teeth, yet it only managed to bite off two of them.

"It's good that you're alright."

Shang Yanting stroked its fur and continued forward.

Walk until you reach the end, and the intersection will turn you to the right.

As soon as he turned the corner, he kicked something.

He took out the firebox again and shone it down—two corpses, their faces mangled beyond recognition.

New.

The broken bones still had some bright red blood, indicating that the person had only been dead for a few days.

Did someone get there before them?

He extinguished the flames and used his external divine sense to look around, trying to find traces of those who had arrived earlier.

Next layer

The torches illuminated the ground, and the six people were now divided into two groups, vaguely appearing to be facing off.

Among these six people are the brothers Liu Yun and Liu Qiang.

To be precise, after they found the Blood Vine and completed the mission, someone came to them and offered them a generous reward to lead them to the location of the Blood Banyan Tree.

There were ten of them in total, all of whom were already experts with the strength of Martial Spirit.

Once they found the Blood Banyan Tree, these people tried to get rid of him.

Liu Yun, being cautious, returned and discovered the cave they had left behind. The two brothers descended into the cave, dodging the eerie tree roots and fleshy flying insects, and made their way here.

Sure enough, there was a treasure down there.

The opponent was very strong, so they didn't dare to openly rob them. Instead, they followed behind, hoping to find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

I didn't expect to be discovered.

"Seniors, we are just curious and want to come and see. We don't want anything and we won't interfere in anything."

Liu Yun quickly raised his hands to show his sincerity.

The four men on the other side frowned deeply.

They were overcoming obstacles and breaking through various traps, unaware that two bugs were following behind them.

Let them go?

The four men exchanged glances and instantly drew their swords.

Liu Qiang didn't even have time to react before his head hit the ground.

Liu Yun barely dodged the attack. He glanced at his brother, whose head had been separated from his body, and knew he was in trouble.

He tried to escape, but his escape route was blocked by two martial arts practitioners.

One Martial Spirit stage cultivator has no chance of winning against four Martial Spirit stage cultivators.

Liu Yun never expected that the people he brought would be so ruthless. He had just taken out the disciple's token that the academy had given him to save his life, but before he could even use it, he was killed from behind.

"Originally, I was going to spare their lives because they actually found the Blood Banyan Tree."

He's asking for it.

The youngest of the four stepped on the corpse, then joined the others in searching the wall on their own.

Everything was observed by Shang Yanting and Jia Xitong.

These people were all of the same martial spirit cultivation level.

I've reached middle age.

He was wearing a dark blue robe with a question mark embroidered on the chest.

"There were a few corpses wearing this kind of clothing earlier."

Jia Xitong said in a low voice.

"These are the people."

Those who get there first may also be people who have planned ahead.

Perhaps the quest to find the Blood Vine that was previously posted in the quest hall was just a prelude; the person who posted the quest was mainly after what was hidden under the Blood Banyan Tree.

But what are they looking for?

Shang Yanting used his spiritual power to conceal his aura, put on a disguise mask, and hid in a corner to wait for their actions.

"A discovery!"

The man holding the compass spoke, and the other three quickly gathered around him.

The group groped around on the wall for a while.

After a muffled thud, a stone protruded from the wall.

They pulled out the stones and found a dusty wooden box inside the wall.

"Found it!"

Before the four could even feel joy, a powerful magical force with overwhelming force swept towards them.

"A demonic cultivator?!"

The group quickly erected a spirit shield.

The withered Zen Slash instantly corroded the spirit shield, and the four martial cultivators at the Martial Spirit Realm were instantly shattered by the demonic power.

He killed four Martial Spirit stage experts with a single move.

Shang Yanting's demonic cultivation has already achieved some success.

He opened the wooden box he had stolen, inside which was a secret manual—"The Myriad Seals Sword Technique".

On the other side

The raccoon is picking up trash... some strange and unusual things.

The octagonal compass on the ground is very well-designed.

She was holding the compass and putting it into the talisman when she suddenly heard the voice of the true system.

[Congratulations to the quest participant for obtaining the magical artifact: Eight-Turn Treasure Hunting Disc]

Rare and precious materials cannot escape their traces, while high-level magical artifacts are easy to find.

[When a treasure is found within a 100-meter radius, channeling spiritual energy into the Eight-Turn Treasure-Seeking Compass will provide a clear direction.]

[Restriction: Can only be summoned once per month.]

Oh, the treasure I'm searching for.

Just as Jia Xitong was about to share the good news with Shang Yanting, a sudden gust of wind behind her whipped her hair back, and with a series of clanging sounds, countless knife marks appeared on the opposite wall.

At that moment, the sword energy was only 1 meter away from her. If it had been just a little closer, she would probably have been cleaved in two.

Clang...

Jia Xitong was so frightened that she dropped the treasure she was holding. "Host, are you going to ruthlessly destroy the system?"

Shang Yanting's lips curled up, and he twirled the sword in a beautiful motion, then gently flicked the tip of the sword.

The raccoon's clothes got caught on the sword, pulling the bear up with it.

"I've found the right movement technique."

Shang Yanting caught the raccoon, casually planted his sword in the ground, and unfolded the newly acquired secret manual in front of Jia Xitong.

This secret realm has three levels in total.

The first level, where a hundred swords clash.

The second level, Thousand Swords Dragon Journey

The third level: Heaven and Earth unite, all swords return to their origin.

He practiced only a short section of the content and felt that it was perfectly suited to his own cultivation method.

This trip was worthwhile.

Shang Yanting began cultivating according to the instructions above.

Jia Xitong wasn't idle either. She took out the "Complete Collection of Talismans" (←Aotian Continent's lousy version) that she had asked Liang Baoyu to buy for her, found the most useful Light Talisman, and carefully copied it.

Having already reached the level of a talisman master, drawing light talismans was not difficult for her.

With a little effort, more than twenty talismans were pasted around the walls, making them even brighter than the modified xenon headlights.

To be honest, it was a bit dazzling for Shang Yanting to practice swordsmanship in such an environment.

Fortunately, he was exceptionally talented and quickly entered a meditative state.

The sword energy flying around is a bit too much for the bear.

Half a month later, a sword's cry rang out from underground.

Shang Yanting had already comprehended the sword intent. Hundreds of sword energies formed from spiritual power ripped open a gash in the ground, and he carried Jia Xitong into the air.

In just over ten days, he had already become a powerful expert in the early stage of Martial Spirit.

Back to the school dormitory

Niu Chuanchuan is almost fully recovered.

Not only did he recover, but the magical beasts in the stable were also well cared for and became plump and healthy, even better than when Jia Xitong was there.
