After a series of upheavals, the Lingxu Market entered a period of stable and prosperous development. However, a sudden piece of news shattered this tranquility once again. Cultivators had discovered traces of a mysterious ruin on the edge of a remote, desolate mountain range. It is said that this ruin contains endless treasures and long-lost powerful cultivation techniques, and may even hold the secret to breaking through the current cultivation realm.
This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves in the cultivation world. Various forces were eager to make their move and prepared to go and explore. The forces in the Spirit Ruins Market were no exception. Lin Yang summoned Zhao Wanbao, the Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion, the President of Linghe Chamber of Commerce, and the elders of Lingjian Sect to discuss the matter.
"We don't know if the news about this ruin is true or not, but if it really holds the secret to breaking through realms, it will be crucial to the development of our Spirit Ruins market," Lin Yang said with a deep gaze and a solemn expression.
The head of Wanbaoge stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Indeed, if we can obtain the treasures and cultivation techniques from the ruins, our Wanbaoge's magic weapon crafting skills may reach a new level, which will greatly benefit the overall strength of the Lingxu market."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce: "Regardless of what is hidden inside the ruins, the process of exploring these ruins alone contains enormous business opportunities. If we can participate in it, we will definitely profit from it and further strengthen the Chamber of Commerce."
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect looked solemn, gripping his sword hilt: "Our Spirit Sword Sect disciples have never been afraid of challenges. If we can find exquisite sword techniques in the ruins, it will definitely enhance the strength of our sect's sword cultivators and better protect the Spirit Ruins market."
After discussion, the group decided to form a joint team to explore the ruins in the Ancient Wilderness Mountains. Leveraging its intelligence advantage, the Linghe Merchant Guild quickly gathered various information about the Ancient Wilderness Mountains, including the mountain terrain, the distribution of dangerous areas, and possible paths leading to the ruins. The Wanbao Pavilion meticulously prepared various magical artifacts for this operation, such as the "Spirit Wind Flying Boat" for rapid movement in complex terrain, the "Mystic Ice Shield" to withstand harsh environments, and the "Treasure Compass" for detecting dangers and treasures. The Lingjian Sect selected a group of elite sword cultivators who practiced sword formations day and night, conducting simulated drills to address potential dangers.
After preparations were complete, the joint team from the Spirit Ruins Market embarked on their journey. They boarded the "Spirit Wind Flying Boat" and sped towards the Ancient Desolate Mountains. The Ancient Desolate Mountains stretched endlessly, shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura. As the flying boat approached the mountains, everyone felt a powerful and chaotic surge of spiritual energy wash over them.
"Be careful, the spiritual energy in this mountain range is disordered, and there may be hidden dangers," the president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce warned.
The group carefully maneuvered the flying boat into the mountain range. Within the range, towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the ground was covered with strange flowers and plants that emitted various lights. The flying boat followed the route marked by the Linghe Merchant Guild when suddenly, a pack of wolf-like demonic beasts burst forth from the dense forest. These beasts radiated an eerie green light, their eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty ferocity. They roared and surged towards the flying boat like a green torrent.
"Prepare for battle!" the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect shouted, and the sword cultivators swiftly drew their swords, their sword energy gathering around the flying boat. Disciples of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion manipulated the "Mystic Ice Shield," forming a layer of crystalline ice around the flying boat to withstand the onslaught of the demonic beasts. Experts from the Spirit Harmony Merchant Guild cast spells, attempting to disrupt the demonic beasts' movements.
A fierce battle broke out in the desolate ancient mountains, but this was only the beginning of their exploration of mysterious ruins. What unknowns and challenges awaited them ahead?
