With a flick of his wrist, he activated a talisman.
Second-tier, mid-grade - Concealment Talisman!
The perception of a Foundation Establishment expert far surpasses his; if a stranger enters their perception at night, they would probably be blasted to death instantly.
Using the talisman as cover, Li Daoxuan arrived within a hundred meters of the base.
His exceptional vision allowed him to clearly see the two elderly men sitting cross-legged.
He exuded a faint but palpable aura of power.
"My lord, the other party is a Foundation Establishment expert..."
Lu Xueqi's pupils contracted slightly, unable to understand why her husband was suddenly acting so recklessly.
"My wife, don't panic. I have a third-tier talisman that can kill this man."
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt relieved and didn't ask any further questions. If her husband said so, then so be it.
Li Daoxuan looked for the direction of his home.
Yes, this is the spot.
Two Foundation Establishment experts and his own home, living a simple life.
Tier 3 Low-grade Talisman - Meteorite Killing Talisman!
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the talisman shone with golden light, and an unparalleled aura of killing intent spread out.
The two old men were immediately startled, seeing the rapidly approaching flames, and had no chance to resist.
"boom--!"
In the blink of an eye, a charred, blackened passage stretching for hundreds of miles appeared in this world.
Everything within it was utterly destroyed, and many cultivators were affected and perished in the attack.
Li Daoxuan could only silently apologize to those innocent cultivators in his heart. Who told him that cultivating immortality was so full of uncertainty? You never knew when you would be caught in the crossfire of a powerful attack and perish.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi stood there stunned by the magnificent scene before her.
"My wife, don't just stand there! Quickly help your husband pack up the spirit stones!"
Li Daoxuan pulled Lu Xueqi into the spirit stone warehouse, which was only half full.
That attack was so powerful that half of them were directly affected and wiped out.
However, he didn't mind, since he didn't have that much time to stuff all the spirit stones into his pocket anyway.
Lu Xueqi snapped out of her daze and, mimicking her husband's actions, frantically tried to fill the spirit stones.
"Who! Who is it?!"
A furious roar came from the horizon.
Immediately following was the terrifying aura of a Golden Core expert.
Li Daoxuan knew he couldn't stay any longer, or he wouldn't even have a chance to activate the talisman and escape.
He had no idea what the Golden Core experts were capable of, so to be on the safe side, he left before even making a move.
He pulled Lu Xueqi into his arms and activated the 100,000 Leap Talismans in his hand.
"Buzz!"
With a silent ripple in the space, the two figures vanished from their spot.
Moments later, the leader of the Green Wolf Gang arrived at the crime scene.
Looking at the warehouse in complete disarray, he was furious.
He activated his spiritual perception to capture the thief's remaining aura, but unfortunately, Li Daoxuan was very cautious and left behind a second-tier low-grade talisman to erase traces before leaving.
Aura? What nonsense! Conan is here today; he's just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of this incident.
......
Unknown location.
Two figures emerged from the void.
Li Daoxuan quickly picked up Lu Xueqi and flew away on his sword.
Once a cultivator reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining, they can use their abundant internal mana to activate sword techniques and achieve flight on a sword.
However, their speed and endurance cannot compare to those of Foundation Establishment experts.
A Golden Core cultivator can travel the world using their physical body.
"Husband, where is this place?"
Lu Xueqi looked at the scenery below with curiosity.
"I didn't know either. The 100,000 teleportation talismans were randomly teleported."
Li Daoxuan shook his head, there was no need to pretend to know what he didn't.
"So, what are your plans next, my husband?"
Lu Xueqi asked.
"Hmm... Let's find a safe place to stay for a while. Once I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll go to other places where cultivators gather."
Looking at the experience panel, Li Daoxuan pondered.
"Yes, I will listen to my husband."
Lu Xueqi snuggled against him, looking like a considerate wife.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
After flying for a while, Li Daoxuan found a place to land.
Although they fly swiftly, there are flying monsters in the wild, and it would be troublesome if they were targeted.
It was still dark, so it wasn't advisable to wander around aimlessly.
The two leaned against a tree and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning.
After waking up, the two set off again.
After a long journey, they arrived at a plain, and ten miles away was a dense and continuous forest.
That place was clearly a gathering place for demonic beasts, so he wasn't going to be stupid enough to go there.
"Let's build a wooden hut here and live a quiet life."
A quick scan with my divine sense revealed a considerable amount of wild game, and a stream nearby.
So the two used their magic to cut down trees and build a house.
In half a day, a brand new wooden house was built.
Lu Xueqi looked very happy. This was the second time she had built her own house; the first time was for her wedding room.
The house was simple, not as simple as the one in the bamboo forest, but it was owned by the owner and not rented.
Then she picked some flowers and plants to decorate the yard.
Li Daoxuan was also busy building walls and arranging talismans.
"It seems I need to learn formations, but formation masters are rare, and there isn't a single one in the Green Bamboo Forest."
Li Daoxuan thought to himself.
As night fell, the two finished their game and began to rest.
Living in a wooden cabin is definitely much safer than being in the wild.
With safety no longer a concern, Lu Xueqi began to think about other things.
"My husband, let's begin our cultivation..."
Lu Xueqi said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"..."
He was even more anxious than the other person, but he still had to take inventory of the supplies. It was too late yesterday and he was busy today, so he didn't have time.
Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to upgrade myself.
"You go ahead and do it yourself, I'll take stock of some things."
Lu Xueqi pouted in frustration. What did she mean by letting her do it herself?
So she began to take revenge.
Li Daoxuan had only been taking inventory for a short while when he became extremely uncomfortable.
They forcibly pressed the other person's body down.
"My wife has gone astray! I'll teach you a lesson!"
...
...
Feeling refreshed, Li Daoxuan was finally able to settle down and take stock of the supplies.
"This many spirit stones are enough for me to use for a while."
Including the spirit stones he looted from the Green Wolf Gang, he now has over 50,000 low-grade spirit stones and over 500 mid-grade spirit stones in his pocket.
One mid-grade spirit stone / one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, the spiritual energy of a mid-grade spirit stone is purer, and it will actually fetch a premium in the market if you exchange it for a low-grade spirit stone.
But it's only a few extra dollars.
After some calculation, it turns out that Li Daoxuan now has over 100,000 low-grade spirit stones!
"That means we've settled all our accounts with the Blue Wolf Gang."
Li Daoxuan was very satisfied.
Then, he spent a thousand spirit stones to break through to the third level of weapon crafting.
He then spent another thousand to break through the Wood Spirit Technique to the lower level of the Profound Rank.
With the breakthrough in grade, the name of the Wood Spirit Skill changed to "Green Wood Skill".
Then he spent more than seven thousand spirit stones to break through all seven spells to the lower grade of the Profound rank.
The names of the spells are as follows:
Burning Fire Technique → Heavenly Fire Technique
Wood Spirit Technique → Green Wood Arts
Lightning Summoning Technique → Lightning Rampage Technique
Rock Strike Technique → Rock Imprisonment Technique
Wood Thorn Technique → Blue Thorn Technique
Wood Spirit Shield → Green Wood Shield
Water jump → Mirror flow
This is a major upgrade!
Looking at the revamped system panel, Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.
I still have 90,000 spirit stones left. I'll use them to max out the three side quests before breaking through to the fourth tier.
We may not need it, but we can't live without it.
Thinking this, Li Daoxuan gradually fell asleep.
