After a scream, the Grand Elder's entire cultivation essence, blood, and primordial spirit were refined into a pill.
"How shameful! How shameful! My mighty Heaven-Refining Cauldron has traversed countless realms for millions of years, what a glorious era it was!"
"The number one cauldron in all the heavens and myriad realms has now been reduced to killing a mere Foundation Establishment ant!"
"Just think, I'm a supreme being in the world of magical artifacts. If those artifact spirits knew I actually killed a Foundation Establishment ant, they'd laugh their heads off! Sigh~"
"..."
The Refining Heaven Cauldron rambled on and on, making itself seem as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing that Ling Yun had no reaction, the Refining Heaven Cauldron floated in front of Ling Yun and solemnly said:
“Master! I need to establish three rules with you.”
First, cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage will not be killed!
Second, if you want to kill me, you must get my permission!
three……"
Snap!
Ling Yun slapped the Refining Heaven Cauldron away, yet he still dared to bargain.
Don't they know who the owner is?
In a fit of anger, Lian Tian Ding ran to A Bao's arms for comfort. He felt that A Bao was more honest than Ling Yun, who was so irritable.
Immediately, Ling Yun took out a pill formed from the essence of the Great Elder and handed it to A Bao.
“Abao, if you eat this, your cultivation will reach the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”
"Um?"
Everyone stared at the pill in shock. The Foundation Establishment stage was a dream realm for most martial artists.
Only by reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can the path to immortality truly begin.
Under normal circumstances, a Martial Bone Realm cultivator can live to be 150 years old, a Martial Soul Realm cultivator to be 180 years old, and a Martial Spirit Realm cultivator to be 200 years old.
A cultivator in the Mortal Realm lives to be 250 years old, while a cultivator in the Human Realm lives to be 300 years old before passing away.
Once you enter the Foundation Establishment stage, each additional minor realm grants you two hundred years of lifespan.
However, less than 20% of martial artists can become cultivators.
Xiao Yanran and the others looked at A Bao with envy. A Bao, who was originally the weakest, had transformed into someone second only to Ling Yun.
Without hesitation, A Bao swallowed the pill and then sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the energy.
Ling Yun looked at the others and smiled, saying:
“Your cultivation methods are different from A Bao’s, and pills are not very useful to you.”
"Once you all reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will teach you a new cultivation method."
Everyone nodded, their faces beaming with joy. Following Ling Yun was truly beneficial; they wouldn't make a mistake in any step of their cultivation.
...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Within the Luoyun Sect, hundreds of soul tablets shattered one after another, including the Great Elder's soul tablet.
Upon learning the news, the sect leader of Luoyun Sect was instantly enraged.
"Someone must be targeting my Luoyun Sect disciples! This is a premeditated murder!"
Immediately, the Sect Master of Luoyun Sect coldly addressed the three inner sect elders beside him:
"You three, along with three thousand elite disciples, will seal off the entrances and exits of Haoling Mountain. You must find out who killed the Grand Elder and the inner disciples. Once you find the murderer, kill him without mercy!"
"Yes, sir!"
The three inner sect elders immediately led their men to Haoling Mountain.
...
After Abao finished refining the pill, he felt an abundance of energy within his body.
Then he looked at Ling Yun and said with a grin:
"Brother, I'm strong now, but I haven't learned any martial arts techniques yet! How about you teach me some?"
Ling Yun asked with a smile:
"Which tradition do you want to learn: Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, swordsmanship, or demonic arts?"
Without a second thought, Abao said decisively:
"Kendo, of course!"
kendo!
Upon hearing these two words, Ling Yao, who was munching on the Golden-Winged Roc in Xiao Yanran's arms, paused slightly, then quickly shook her head and continued gnawing on the golden wings.
Ling Yun smiled and nodded, then pointed a finger at A Bao's forehead.
"Here are a few decent sword techniques that would suit you perfectly!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Ah Bao was so excited that he wanted to start practicing.
Ling Yun waved his hand and said:
"Don't rush, take it one step at a time, first eat the Golden-Winged Roc!"
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun extended his fingers and touched the foreheads of Yan Ruyu, Xiao Yanran, and Shangguan Hong respectively.
"Based on the characteristics of the three of you, I will impart different lineages to you. If you follow my methods, you will surely become great masters in the future."
After saying that, he took the sword from Shangguan Hong's hand and put it into the Refining Heaven Cauldron.
Soon a golden spear was forged.
Ling Yun handed the spear to Shangguan Hong.
"Your aura is strong, and your character is decisive and courageous, making you suitable for practicing the way of the spear."
You have a strong preference for wearing black. I hope that in the future, a saying will circulate throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds:
A golden spear shakes the heavens.
A thousand troops and ten thousand horses, clad in black robes!
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong was immediately filled with boundless fighting spirit.
"Good benefactor, in the future, the name Shangguan Hong will surely be a legend in the art of the spear!"
Yan Ruyu patted the hilt of her sword and said with high spirits:
"I want to become the Female Sword Emperor!"
Sword Emperor!
Hearing these two words, Ling Yao was stunned again. The title "Sword Emperor" seemed to be closely related to her.
Then, Xiao Yanran drew her Silver Crescent Blade and said proudly:
"I, Xiao, will surely become the Sword Emperor. When any sword cultivator in the world mentions my name, they will feel as if the heavens above are watching."
"I want to become... what was it again?" The little white fox wanted to say something grand, but he was at a loss for words.
Ling Yun laughed:
"You must become the number one foodie in all the heavens and myriad realms!"
"No way!" The little white fox huffed and puffed as it took a bite of the golden-winged roc.
An hour later, after everyone had finished eating all the Golden-Winged Rocs, they cleaned up the surrounding area and left the place.
At this moment, the exit of Haoling Mountain was blocked by two thousand disciples of the Luoyun Sect.
"Why can't we leave? Your Luoyun Sect is too domineering!"
"That's right, we didn't kill your Grand Elder, nor did we kill your disciples!"
"Let us out right now!"
"..."
Hundreds of martial artists and cultivators who had entered Haoling Mountain in search of treasure protested angrily.
The second elder of the Luoyun Sect's inner sect coldly looked at these people and said in a deep voice:
"Hand over your spatial rings and storage bags now so we can inspect them, or you're not leaving!"
The Second Elder predicted that after those people killed the First Elder and the others, they would definitely loot all their treasures.
After all, Luoyun Sect is a major sect, and its disciples have far more cultivation resources than those of ordinary sects.
Upon hearing that their spatial rings and storage bags would be inspected, these people became enraged. Many of them had found rare and precious materials, while others had obtained treasures through murder and robbery.
They were worried that the Luoyun Sect would confiscate it.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You guys are too domineering! I will never hand over my spatial ring to you!"
A cultivator at the Sealed Mortal Realm pointed angrily at the Second Elder.
The next moment!
The Second Elder, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, turned cold and smashed the man into a pulp with his palm.
Hiss~
Everyone gasped in shock, not expecting the Luo Yun Sect to be serious.
The Second Elder suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura and said coldly:
"Either let this elder inspect your storage equipment, or you die!"
Those people panicked and prepared to retreat and find another way out.
However, the Second Elder's aura locked onto them all.
"Um?"
At this moment, the Second Elder suddenly looked ahead and saw a group of people with considerable strength walking towards them.
