The battle of Huadie Sect was over, and the remaining cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages could no longer make any waves. They knelt on the ground, not daring to make any moves.
"Li Yuanba, this is also what you need to learn!" Yun Xiao said to Li Yuanba with a smile.
He waved his hand, and the other four Nascent Soul sword cultivators flew out and began to clean up the battlefield.
Li Yuanba initially thought that cleaning the battlefield was not a simple matter. He had cleaned the battlefield countless times and was considered quite experienced.
But after seeing the actions of several Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, he finally understood what professionalism was.
Several Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators first cleaned up the bodies of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators, which were also put away. Then they cleaned up the caves of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators.
These are the most valuable parts, and most of the Huadiemen’s fourth-grade resources are on them.
The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator then packed up all the Golden Core Cultivators' spatial items and cleaned up the spiritual fields.
Cleaning the spiritual fields is not just about collecting the spiritual plants, they also collect the spiritual soil from the spiritual fields.
Some Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators found the sect's treasury and library and packed up all of these places, while some Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators found spirit veins and used the vein-locking disk to pack up and take them away.
It can be said that after the cleanup by several Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, all the valuable spiritual objects of the Huadie Sect were cleared out. Even if there were still cultivators from other sects outside the Huadie Sect who wanted to rebuild the Huadie Sect, they would not be able to do so without these foundations.
When returning to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, Yun Xiao handed a storage bag to Li Yuanba.
"This is your share. You played a major role this time. When you go back and hand in this batch of resources, you will also be given some contribution points. With the contribution points, you can exchange them for the resources you want!" Yun Xiao explained with a smile.
Not only Yun Xiao was happy, the other Nascent Soul sword cultivators were also very happy.
Although with their strength, it is not too difficult to destroy the Huadie Sect.
However, with the unexpected helper Li Yuanba, none of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators of the Huadie Sect escaped, and Li Yuanba eliminated half of the Nascent Soul cultivators with just one move, which reduced a lot of trouble for them.
Otherwise, if a real battle were to break out and both sides used their Nascent Soul Dharma Images, most of the spoils would be destroyed in the aftermath of the battle, and there would not be as much gain as this time.
Li Yuanba's spiritual consciousness entered the storage bag, and he found seven fourth-grade flying swords, some fourth-grade refining materials and elixirs inside.
Although the most commonly used magic weapon in the world of immortal cultivation is the flying sword, the seven fourth-grade flying swords allocated to him should be all the fourth-grade flying swords obtained this time.
This should be left for him by several Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators who knew that his magic weapon 'Wanjian Peak' would require a large number of fourth-grade flying swords.
The quality of the fourth-grade flying sword and the fourth-grade refining materials are very low. There is no way to change this. This is the foundation of a small sect like the Huadie Sect.
"Yun Xiao, isn't that too much allocated to me?" Li Yuanba asked after a moment of hesitation.
He didn't want to take advantage of his partner in their first collaboration, and he really didn't care about the benefit.
"There are rules for distribution, Guo Ping, explain them to Li Yuanba!" Yun Xiao laughed and instructed Guo Ping who was standing beside him.
He was very satisfied with Li Yuanba's non-greed. No cultivator wanted his companion to be greedy.
After returning to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, Li Yuanba exchanged contact information with Yun Xiao and the other four Nascent Soul sword cultivators. If the team accepts a mission in the future, Yun Xiao will issue a call-up notice.
Li Yuanba officially joined Yun Xiao's team and was accepted by all his teammates.
After separating from his teammates, he returned to his own cave. Not long after he rested, his identity jade disc received the news.
The reminder from the identity jade disc was to inform him that a contribution point had arrived in his account. It seemed that Yun Xiao acted very quickly and had already handed in the harvest.
Li Yuanba sat in the sword room. The gains from this mission were not just material. In this battle, although he did not use his natal magic weapon, he did call upon his own sword intent.
He found that his sword intent had improved slightly in this battle, and even the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' and 'Supreme Yang Sword Intent' in the 'Wanjian Peak' had improved.
He had not paid attention to the impact of battles on sword intent before. It was only after being reminded by his teammates that he made a special effort to feel it. After comparing the results, he determined the impact of battles on sword intent.
Even though the sword intent has only been improved a little, if it is practiced in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, using the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Jue' and the sword intent environment inside the mountain gate, it will take at least a year to improve this much.
No wonder the sword practitioners of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion like to go out and fight the most. Fighting can improve sword intent faster than practicing hard behind closed doors.
In the Wanshou Sect of the Dongqi Continent, Zhong Qiang felt the benefit of having an alchemy master specifically serving him.
After he finished taking several bottles of second-grade high-level elixirs in his hand, Li Shiming replaced them with another second-grade high-level elixir for him to use for cultivation.
Most of the second-grade advanced elixirs that Li Shiming took out came from the Northern Shu Continent. For Zhong Qiang, they had never been taken before, and the effects of all the elixirs he took were the best.
In the following months, Li Shiming kept replacing the second-grade advanced elixirs, allowing Zhong Qiang to continue to enjoy new types of second-grade advanced elixirs.
Li Shiming, the alchemy master, may not have as good an alchemy heritage as many veteran alchemy masters in the world of immortal cultivation, but he has the alchemy heritage of the Northern Shu continent. The alchemy heritage of the Northern Shu continent is, to a large extent, different from that of other continents.
When monks take the new types of elixirs, the effects are the strongest. After taking too many of them, the effects will gradually decrease with time and the number of times they are taken.
Half a year later, Zhong Qiang's cultivation level recovered to the peak of the late foundation building stage. A big reason for this was the second-grade advanced elixir provided by Li Shiming.
That day, Zhong Qiang went to Dujie Mountain, and he did not ask Li Shiming to accompany him.
Half a day later, Zhong Qiang came back. At this time, he had become a Jindan stage cultivator.
A long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he no longer had to worry about his short lifespan.
Li Shiming saved him precious time, and Zhongqiang was full of gratitude for this.
Don't underestimate the time. Zhong Qiang's body is already a hundred years old. Although the lifespan of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can reach two hundred years, the body begins to degenerate after the age of one hundred.
The older you get, the more serious the body's degeneration becomes. This is why many cultivators cannot break through to the Jindan stage within a hundred years. Even if they break through to the Jindan stage after a hundred years, their potential is not great.
It can be said that for Zhong Qiang who is in the foundation-building stage, every extra day he stays in the stage will seriously hinder his future practice and increase the difficulty of recovering his strength.
Finally, Zhong Qiang's mood improved as he no longer had to worry about his lifespan.
Although the Jindan stage is still a long way from the Yuanying stage, the significant increase in lifespan gave him great confidence.
He entered Li Shiming's cave. Apart from the rights to enter and exit the cave, he only had the right to enter his own room.
He cast a spell and requested to meet with Li Shiming.
Li Shiming always had a Nascent Soul that could move at any time, so after receiving Zhong Qiang's message, he quickly came to the room where Zhong Qiang was.
He was not surprised at all when he saw that Zhong Qiang had reached the early stage of Golden Core.
It would be strange if Zhong Qiang couldn't even break through the foundation-building stage. Zhong Qiang's body was a fusion of Zhong Qiang's previous Nascent Soul, which retained a lot of his talents and transformed this body.
He didn't do well when he lost his memory, mainly because his memory had not yet been awakened and he couldn't truly use the talents of this body.
"Big Brother, congratulations!" Li Shiming congratulated with a smile.
"Junior brother, there is nothing to congratulate!" Zhong Qiang said helplessly, shaking his head.
After his memory was restored, every time he thought of his former power and compared it to his current self, he became more aware of the gap between himself and others.
"This is the third-grade elixir I prepared for my senior brother. Some are leftovers from the past, and some are newly refined!" Li Shiming said as he took out thirty jade bottles and handed them over.
The reason why he had so many third-grade elixirs was that he had refined a large number of third-grade elixirs when he was in the Northern Shu Continent. The number of third-grade elixirs left in his hands was far more than he and his clone Li Yuanba could consume.
At that time, he did not dare to sell these third-grade elixirs. He used the "One Hundred and One Points Elixir Technique". If a large number of third-grade elixirs with no source of elixirs appeared on the market, he would be in trouble once it was discovered.
Before he could figure out how to deal with these third-grade elixirs, his realm continued to improve. After he came to the Dongqi Continent and was promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, these third-grade elixirs completely became collections in the mustard seed space.
What he took out this time was only a small part of his inventory, but it was enough for Zhong Qiang to practice for ten years.
"Junior brother, I have prepared a gift for you!" Zhong Qiang took all the jade bottles. He knew without looking that they contained elixirs to assist him in his cultivation. He put away the jade bottles and looked at Li Shiming solemnly.
"Big Brother, you don't have to be polite to me!" Li Shiming waved his hand.
He did these things for Zhong Qiang, not only for Zhong Qiang, but more for the instructions of his master, Master Hu.
"Let me tell you how I ended up like this!" Zhong Qiang ignored Li Shiming's words. His eyes were slightly dull and he was lost in his memories.
Li Shiming closed his mouth. He was also curious about how Zhong Qiang could be so miserable given his strength at that time.
“That was a hundred years ago. When I was exploring the Zhongzhou Continent, I entered an abandoned mansion and obtained a fragment of a treasure map from Qiu Heng. At that time, there were several Nascent Soul cultivators who were exploring on their own, and they each obtained the remaining fragments of the treasure map.
Among them, Zhao Lingyu and I were the strongest. We snatched the treasure map fragments from other Yuanyings. I was slightly injured at that time, so I returned to Dongqi Continent with half of the treasure map fragments.
I spent several years recovering from my injuries, and then I went to find Zhao Lingyu. Zhao Lingyu set a trap, and only my Nascent Soul escaped!" Zhong Qiang recounted what happened that year in a deep voice.
A well-known treasure-hunting story happens almost every day in the world of immortal cultivation.
But the treasure map that could attract two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators from major sects must have some key reason that attracted them.
"Can Qiu Heng be very strong?" Li Shiming interrupted.
He knew very little about the powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation. When he heard that the treasure map of a powerful person named Qiu Heng was robbed, he became very curious about Qiu Heng.
"Not strong. Perhaps he can be said to be the weakest among the great masters in the Mahayana stage. Qiu Hengyi is not even recognized as a great master by the great masters in the Mahayana stage. He stops at the half-step Mahayana stage!" Zhong Qiang explained for him without any intention of concealing anything.
"Then the value of his treasure shouldn't be that great, right?" Li Shiming asked puzzledly.
His vision is very high. He has the cave of the great master Zhai Ge. The great master Zhai Ge is a true great master in the Mahayana period. The cave contains the inheritance of the great master Zhai Ge.
So when he learned that Qiu Heng was only half a step into the Mahayana stage, he was a little disappointed, because he thought it was a very important treasure.
“The treasure of the great master Qiu Heng does not really mean much for breaking through the Mahayana stage, but it plays an extremely important role in breaking through the middle Nascent Soul stage and becoming a great monk!” Zhong Qiang said here, with a gleam in his eyes.
When he first learned about Qiu Heng's great treasure, he was so excited that he risked his life with Zhao Lingyu in order to get the complete treasure map.
Li Shiming was a little confused. He looked at Zhong Qiang with a questioning look, waiting for Zhong Qiang's further explanation.
“Although Qiu Heng, a great man, stopped at the half-step Mahayana stage, he left behind the half-step rule cave core.
If he is truly powerful, then even if he left behind a cave core, it would not be something we can comprehend. However, this half-step rule cave core is a treasure that can be comprehended by Nascent Soul cultivators.
As long as you comprehend a part of the core content of the Half-Step Rule Cave Heaven, it will not be a problem to be promoted to a great cultivator! "Zhong Qiang went on to explain.
Li Shiming finally understood. Just as Zhong Qiang said, he had seen many caves, but his perception of caves was that he was in the cave space, and the cave had its own rules.
As for studying the rules of the cave heaven, that is simply impossible to do. The rules are too high-level and his realm is too far away.
However, the core of the Half-Step Rule Cave Heaven of a Half-Step Mahayana cultivator can be comprehended by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This is like a key that can allow a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to comprehend the rules of a great cultivator.
The reason why great monks are extremely special in the Nascent Soul stage is that they have their own understanding of the rules and can apply the rules to a certain extent.
Although the great monk's application of rules is still at a very superficial level, rules are the origin of the world. As long as this level of power can be used, it means that one's own level has reached another level.
Therefore, the treasure left behind by Qiu Heng is an irreplaceable and most important treasure for any mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
It is extremely difficult to advance from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to become a great monk. One can see this by looking at the few great monks in each major sect.
Nascent Soul cultivators appear in large sects generation after generation, but among these Nascent Soul cultivators, those who can eventually become great cultivators are extremely rare.
