"You should be thankful that I have a good relationship with fellow Daoist Ying Hou, otherwise you would be a corpse now!" Li Yuanba said coldly.
At this moment, Yang Bao was no longer as arrogant as before. With his cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, he was sweating profusely and fear flashed in his eyes.
Yang Bao is not a cultivator who has never experienced danger. Any cultivator who can cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Core has survived countless adventures.
But he had never met a cultivator like Li Yuanba. Although he was at the same level as him, he could not even block one sword strike from him.
He secretly regretted in his heart why he didn't inquire about the information at the checkpoint before coming here.
Originally, he was proud of being a member of a large sect. In the past, most of the righteous checkpoints were guarded by Jindan monks who were not from the three major righteous sects. This time, he used his connections to grab a position as a garrisoned Jindan monk, but who knew he would meet Li Yuanba.
"The Qianhuan Sect will not let you go!" Although fear flashed in Yang Bao's eyes, he still said hatefully.
He knew that Li Yuanba had no intention of killing him, and he felt relieved.
"Welcome to find me in the Shiwandashan Mountains!" Li Yuanba said with a faint smile.
The Xing Yi sword flashed, and the sword hit Yang Bao's face, leaving a red mark, and then the Xing Yi sword flew back to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba turned around and left, taking away Yang Bao's magic flying sword.
Watching Li Yuanba's figure disappear, Yang Bao spat out a mouthful of blood. It was the backlash of his magic weapon's spiritual imprint being broken. He had been suppressing it for the sake of face.
"What happened?" Ying Hou and Xin Tong rushed over and asked in surprise when they saw Yang Bao's miserable appearance.
"Friend Ying, do you know Li Yuanba?" Yang Bao asked Ying Hou with a resentful look.
"You drove away Fellow Daoist Li?" Xin Tong shouted without waiting for Ying Hou to answer.
Xin Tong looked at Yang Bao with even more resentment than Yang Bao himself, and he seemed to want to kill Yang Bao on the spot.
Yang Bao was shocked. Although he was stronger in combat, his strength was limited. Especially after losing his magic flying sword, he did not have much advantage in the battle with Xin Tong.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, Li Yuanba is the disciple of Patriarch Lu of the Senluo Sect. Patriarch Lu has visited him many times. You have made an enemy of Li Yuanba. It seems that you will not be able to enter the buffer zone outside in the future!" Ying Hou warned in a deep voice.
Yang Bao and Li Yuanba are both disciples of a large sect, but there are differences among disciples of a large sect.
When it comes to the Jindan stage, it mainly depends on background. The Yuanying ancestor's lineage is naturally superior, and the disciples who are cared for by the Yuanying ancestor are even more different.
Yang Bao felt a chill. The disciple that the Yuanying Patriarch cared about was of higher status than him, a Jindan elder of the Qianhuan Sect who did not have much background.
Even though there are benefits at the Jieshan Checkpoint, none of the Jindan elders who can truly hold power in the Qianhuan Sect would come here.
If a Jindan elder were to manage the Qianhuan Sect's resource areas, or perhaps be in charge of some important affairs within the sect, the benefits he would gain would be far greater than those obtained at the Jieshan checkpoint.
Not to mention that the Jieshan checkpoint is extremely dangerous, and Zhiguang Arhat had died here before.
Li Yuanba did not leave the buffer zone, but moved to a position far away from the checkpoint. He was very familiar with the formation on the righteous side and passed through it easily.
I used to feel it was troublesome. If I encountered other cultivators while sneaking through the checkpoints, it would not be the right way.
But he would probably need to do this if he wanted to exchange spiritual objects with his original body Li Shiming in the future. At least Yang Bao had to do this when he was at the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint.
Thousands of miles away from the checkpoint, he met his original form, Li Shiming.
This time, the original body Li Shiming came not only to receive the fourth-grade corpse lotus treasure, but also to give Li Yuanba some third-grade high-level elixirs for cultivation.
What was prepared for Li Yuanba before were all third-grade high-level elixirs of the early Jindan stage. Now that Li Yuanba's realm has been raised, the third-grade high-level elixirs he used must be replaced with those of the middle Jindan stage.
That is to say, Li Shiming had a lot of third-grade advanced elixirs in his hands, and he gave some of them to Li Yuanba.
Now Li Yuanba's cultivation level is higher than Li Shiming. This adventure not only eliminated the original gap between the two, but also made him surpass Li Shiming.
This is the meaning of adventure. Of course, if we were discovered by a fourth-grade spirit beast in that cave, the ending would be different.
Just like Great Elder Jing Geng, even with the use of a fourth-grade life-saving talisman, he was still unable to escape the pursuit of the wolf-headed, humanoid fourth-grade spirit beast.
Li Yuanba handed the big troublesome Fourth-grade Corpse Lotus to Li Shiming, and in exchange for the necessary third-grade high-level elixir for cultivation and some other resources, he turned around and returned.
Although the fourth-grade corpse lotus is extremely precious, he and his original body Li Shiming cannot use it until they reach the peak of the golden elixir. It is better to store it in the computer room.
He sneaked through the formation again and arrived at the boundary mountain checkpoint of Senluo Sect.
"Junior Brother Li, I already know what's going on. When will we set up a trap to kill Yang Bao? It's impossible for the Qianhuan Sect to go to war with the Senluo Sect just for a Jindan elder!" Jiang Pu had obviously received the news from Ying Hou, and he said directly when he saw Li Yuanba.
For the sake of his own interests, since Yang Bao dared to block the way, he must bear the consequences.
This is a major matter concerning cultivation resources. Let alone Yang Bao, even if there are too many troubles, Jiang Pu and other Jindan elders will find a way to deal with it.
"You guys can do whatever you want. It just so happens that I just had a breakthrough recently and I need to go into seclusion for a while!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and said.
Let’s first see if Jiang Pu and his team can accomplish it. After enjoying the benefits for so long, he must do something. He can’t always be the one to solve problems!
Jiang Pu also understood this and nodded.
Yang Bao had no idea what kind of interests he was affecting.
Originally, he had hope of joining. He became the garrison golden elixir of the checkpoint, and it was only a matter of time before he joined this small interest group.
But he offended Li Yuanba, which completely blocked his possibility of joining.
This made the Jindan elders on both sides of the checkpoint hate him to death, and a conspiracy was unfolding.
Li Yuanba returned to the garrison in Jieshan City and went into seclusion. It would take a long time to cultivate from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the late stage of the Golden Core, even with sufficient resources for cultivation.
He needs to calm down, and practicing in seclusion will become the norm.
Li Shiming was also in seclusion, with only a silver corpse outside receiving guests and responsible for collecting elixirs and delivering spiritual medicines.
As the days go by, all kinds of things happen in the world of immortal cultivation every day.
In the thirty-third heaven outside the mountain gate of Senluo Sect, Patriarch Lu stood in the void and looked at the wolf-headed humanoid fourth-grade spirit beast opposite him.
"Lang Xiong, we haven't seen each other for many years!" Patriarch Lu said with a smile.
It can be seen that Patriarch Lu and Lang Xiong, the fourth-grade spiritual beast, are very familiar with each other, and the two sides get along like old friends chatting.
"The fourth-grade spiritual medicine I planted was stolen. I detected the auras of more than thirty Jindan cultivators at the scene. Only you, the Senluo Sect, can have such a force in the Ten Thousand Mountains. You must give me an explanation!" Lang Xiong spoke very directly.
Although he is a spiritual beast, he has lived long enough and has been in contact with human monks for a very long time, so it is not difficult for him to master human language.
However, there are very few monks with whom he can communicate in human language. He can kill weak ones with ease and there is no need for him to communicate at all.
After losing the Fourth-grade Corpse Lotus and being unable to find its whereabouts, he went to the Senluo Sect.
It's because the Spirit Beast Clan has an agreement with the Senluo Sect that the two sides coexist in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"More than thirty Jindan cultivators? I roughly know who did it. Not long ago, dozens of Jindan cultivators from the righteous forces Linghe Sect and Wuya Sect attacked the Jieshan Checkpoint, successfully broke through the formation and entered the Shiwan Mountains, and then disappeared. I didn't expect that their purpose was actually your treasure!" Patriarch Lu immediately thought of what happened before and explained in a deep voice.
"Don't lie to me!" Lang Xiong said to Ancestor Lu.
He knew how cunning human monks were. This was the experience he had summed up from dealing with human monks for many years.
"How could I lie to you? This matter has caused a big stir. I am also going to the righteous territory to destroy the two sects!" Patriarch Lu said, spreading his hands.
"I'll go too. These cultivators seem to have forgotten how powerful I am!" Lang Xiong wanted to see it with his own eyes. Besides, he wanted to find his fourth-grade corpse lotus in the two sects even more.
"Let's go together, so that you won't think I'm lying to you!" Patriarch Lu didn't care. Anyway, he had already greeted the Nascent Soul ancestors of the three major righteous sects before he took action this time. Sending more Wolf Heroes would be a good opportunity to show the other major sects the close relationship between the Senluo Sect and the spirit beast clan.
Lang Xiong was an impatient man and couldn't wait any longer to let Lu Laozu lead the way.
Patriarch Lu shook his head helplessly. He took out the communication card and sent a few messages. Then he descended from the thirty-third heaven and flew towards the direction of the righteous forces in the air.
On the side of the righteous forces at the Jieshan Checkpoint, Yang Bao used his connections to find relevant information about Li Yuanba.
He looked at Li Yuanba's information. This information was only the information of Li Yuanba in the early Jindan period. Except for a few cultivators, outsiders did not know about Li Yuanba's promotion.
Through this information, he confirmed what Ying Hou said.
He offended a demon cultivator with a background, and his strength was extremely terrifying.
According to records, Li Yuanba, when he was in the early Jindan stage, had killed a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
The last time, seven mid-to-late Jindan cultivators from the Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect attacked the Senluo Sect's Jieshan checkpoint, they were all killed by Li Yuanba alone.
Looking at Li Yuanba's age again, Yang Bao was horrified that he had made an enemy with such a genius.
Originally, he had great hatred towards Li Yuanba because Li Yuanba had snatched away his magic flying sword, but after seeing Li Yuanba's battle record, the only thing he was thankful for was that Li Yuanba held back and did not kill him with one sword.
A deep feeling of regret rose in his heart, and he was willing to pay the price if it could be redeemed.
Thinking of this, he decided to find Ying Hou to act as a go-between to see if he could resolve the hatred with Li Yuanba.
He was just about to get up and talk to Ying Hou, but as soon as he stood up, he sensed the alarm coming from the formation.
Although he had just become the Jindan guarding the checkpoint, he was still very clear about the alarm of this formation.
"Is it that a Nascent Soul Patriarch is approaching, or two of them?" Yang Bao was horrified to discover the reason why the formation sounded the alarm.
He immediately thought of Li Yuanba. He had just offended Li Yuanba, and then the Nascent Soul Patriarch came over.
And the information he received was that the Nascent Soul Patriarch who was in charge of Senluo Sect was none other than Li Yuanba's great-grandmaster, Patriarch Lu.
Since Patriarch Lu did not hide his aura, the formation revealed Patriarch Lu's identity after sounding the alarm.
Yang Bao now confirmed that this was the person who came to find him.
"Why is Li Yuanba so petty? It was just a fight, it can't even be considered a battle. He was just bullied, but Li Yuanba actually asked the Nascent Soul Ancestor to come and seek revenge!" he thought to himself.
After he was defeated by Li Yuanba, he kept thinking about Li Yuanba.
If he could remain calm, he would definitely think about how it is possible that the Yuanying Patriarch would come to him for Li Yuanba's trivial matter.
He was not worthy of the Yuanying Patriarch to come forward, not to mention that Li Yuanba took advantage of him.
But he had reached a dead end, and his mind was filled with the thought that the Yuanying Patriarch was looking for him.
Yang Bao had an extra talisman in his hand. Although it was not a particularly precious life-saving talisman, it was also a relatively fast life-saving talisman among the third-grade talismans.
He activated the talisman, and his body turned into a rainbow light and flew towards the depths of the righteous forces.
When Patriarch Lu flew over the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint, out of respect for several Nascent Soul ancestors of the righteous path, he slowed down his flying speed and revealed his own aura.
This was to inform the three major sects of the righteous path that he had passed through the checkpoints openly, revealing his whereabouts.
But just as he passed the Jieshan checkpoint, a figure escaped from the Zhengdao checkpoint.
If it was just Old Ancestor Lu who was there alone, he would be too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
But this time it was different. Lang Xiong, a fourth-grade spiritual beast, followed beside Patriarch Lu.
"This guy ran away when he saw me. He must be feeling guilty about participating in stealing my treasure!" This was Lang Xiong's first thought when he saw Yang Bao running away.
Life-saving talismans should not be used casually. It is not easy to draw a life-saving talisman, and it is also a loss-making expense. A huge price is spent just to quickly cast a spell of super-fast flying.
Once you use the life-saving talisman, it means you have encountered something extremely dangerous.
Lang Xiong knew human monks very well, and it was because of this understanding that he believed Yang Bao was guilty.
Not to mention that Yang Bao used a third-grade life-saving talisman, even Elder Jing Geng used a fourth-grade life-saving talisman not long ago and was unable to escape from Lang Xiong.
Lang Xiong was filled with murderous intent and launched an attack while chasing after Yang Bao. Before Yang Bao could escape far, he was caught up by the attack and his body exploded in the air and turned into a ball of blood mist.
Ying Hou, who was at the checkpoint, saw it clearly. He opened his mouth wide and looked at what was happening outside in disbelief.
Just a moment ago, he was still in contact with Jiang Pu to discuss how to get rid of Yang Bao.
But what was happening in front of him? Why did Yang Bao use the life-saving talisman to escape? Why did the Yuanying ancestor attack Yang Bao?
It’s not a big deal. Ying Hou could only watch. The affairs of the Nascent Soul Patriarch were not something he could interfere in. The most he could do was report the matter to Qianhuan Sect.
