Chapter 320: Secret Attack

You should know that once the life treasure of a Jindan cultivator is refined, it is firmly bound to the cultivator himself. The red-clothed man blew up his life treasure, which was equivalent to destroying his own path.

Once a high-level cultivator loses his life treasure, not only will his vitality be greatly damaged, but without his life treasure, his own cultivation will also be greatly affected, and it will be difficult to make any further progress.

Even if he can refine his life treasure again in a short period of time, it will take a long time to keep up with his cultivation. By that time, even if he can recover as before, a lot of time has been spent, and he will not have much lifespan to make further progress.

Whether it is a high-level cultivator or a low-level cultivator, if you want to cultivate to the end and ascend to the Tao, almost every realm has to face the biggest problem of insufficient lifespan.

If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of 60, he has basically lost the opportunity to establish his foundation. Even if you are really a late bloomer and succeed in establishing your foundation at the age of 70, your path will also stop here, and the remaining life span is not enough for you to have the opportunity to further form a pill.

According to the average ten-year interval between the Foundation Establishment Stages, it will take at least a hundred years for a cultivator to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and form a pill. If you establish your foundation too late, there will not be much time left before the 200-year-old limit for forming a pill, and at most you can only have one chance to form a pill.

This is the realm of cultivation. Once you are slow in the first step, it will be difficult to keep up with the next step, and there will not be many opportunities and time for you to choose.

However, if it really comes to a life-and-death moment, compared with the path, the cultivator's own life will obviously be more important. After all, not every Jindan cultivator has the opportunity to form a Yuanying. No matter how high you can cultivate, once you lose your life, it will be in vain in the end.

Like the red-clothed man from Tianhai League, who used the extreme method of self-destruction of his own life magic weapon, although he destroyed his own path, he also created a chance for himself to escape.

Although he was seriously injured this time, as long as he could save his life and recover from his injuries, he would still be a high-ranking Jindan cultivator, and he would have hundreds of years of life to enjoy. The higher the level of the cultivator, the more afraid he would lose everything he had in an instant.

Once he fell on the battlefield this time, the red-clothed man would never have the chance to see his beautiful wife and concubines at home again, and his disciples and clansmen would all fall into a state of decline because of the sudden loss of his protection. He had already seen a lot of such things after practicing for more than two hundred years.

After cleaning up the battlefield of Qingniuling and making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Fang Ziquan and Li Yuxia left the place and handed over all the aftermath matters here to Wang Liangping.

After another day, Song Qingming and others received the order from Wang Liangping that the mission was over, and began to return to Huanglongfang with the Qi-refining monks who came with them.

This time, he and Cao Rongxue both made some gains. They had such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the future, and also earned some good deeds they wanted. They could say that the trip was worthwhile.

Not long after they set out, Cao Rongxue, who was in charge of the operation, suddenly received a message from the market that Huanglongfang was attacked by enemy monks and asked them to go back to support.

Upon receiving this news, Song Qingming and others were shocked. They did not expect that Wu Wenlong and others who had just escaped from Qingniuling two days ago would attack Huanglongfang, which was only more than a hundred miles away from Qingniuling.

After discussing for a while, they decided to send a few Qi-refining monks to Qingniuling to report the news, and then the four of them went to the market to support them.

After leaving behind the Qi-refining monks below, the few people flying on the swords arrived near Huanglongfang in just over an hour.

From a distance, the whole market was already in flames, and Song Qingming and his friends suddenly felt nervous, thinking that it was all over, and they were still a step late despite their haste.

After the few people carefully approached the market, they found that there were almost no living people in it, and there were flames everywhere, which had already set most of the market on fire.

After searching around in the market, Song Qingming and his friends found a bunch of corpses of monks guarding the market, but no living people. For a while, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Among these corpses, there were not only the young monks who had been with them day and night, but also two foundation-building monks, Zhao Mengzhen and another monk named He who had stayed to guard the market.

When receiving this mission, Zhao Mengzhen was determined to stay safe and did not go with them. He chose to stay and guard the safety of the market. Unexpectedly, after Wu Wenlong and his group were chased, they not only did not leave here, but unexpectedly attacked Huanglongfang and killed Zhao Mengzhen here.

The Zhao family in Pingyang County only had Zhao Mengzhen, a foundation-building cultivator. This loss of the only foundation-building cultivator in the family was like the sky falling down for the Zhao family. Even if Xiaoyao Sect issued a pension to the Zhao family, it would be difficult for them to recover to their original level in a short time.

Almost all the immortal families in the immortal world have experienced ups and downs. There are those who rise slowly like the Song family, those who fall suddenly like the Zhao family, and those who can last for a long time like the Huang family.

After casting a water-attributed spell to put out the fire in the market, when several people were about to leave here first, an old man in a Taoist robe came here anxiously on a flying sword.

"It's Fellow Daoist Liu. Brother Liu, what happened here? Where are the other Daoists?"

Liu Wenguan, with a sad face, shook his head and said, "Two hours ago, a group of foundation-building cultivators suddenly attacked the market. The other party not only had the formation-breaking beads, but also the troublesome spiritual objects such as talismans.

Just a moment later, Fellow Daoist Gu was the first to be killed by the talismans used by the other party. Fellow Daoists Zhao and He also fell into trouble one after another. I fought hard to escape. After getting rid of the other party's people who were chasing me, I found a place to hide. I dared to come out now. Did the fellow Daoists not meet that group of people?"

"When we arrived, this place was almost burned into ruins. Fellow Daoist Liu was the first living person we saw. From the current point of view, the group of people who attacked the market were probably the ones we escaped from the encirclement and suppression on Qingniu Ridge a few days ago." Cao Rongxue replied to Liu Wenguan with a heavy heart.
