Chapter 193 Return to the East China Sea

Yunshui Sect. The main hall of the sect was solemn and the atmosphere was heavy. Gu Qingying sat on a high place, with a cold expression and a look of lightning. Next to her sat the great elder of Yunshui Sect, looking at the people below with a worried look.

Below the main hall, stood more than ten foundation-building cultivators of Yunshui Sect, each of them looked old and tired. These people are the backbone of Yunshui Sect, but now they have entered their twilight years and their strength is gradually declining.

The new generation of Yunshui Sect has not yet grown up and cannot take on the responsibility of the sect.

Gu Qingying raised her eyes and scanned the foundation-building cultivators below, and a sense of worry surged in her heart.

Although these old guys are experienced, their physical and energy are not as good as before, and they are inevitably powerless when facing strong enemies.

And now, Xu Tianyi, who was highly expected, unfortunately died on the battlefield, which undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Yunshui Sect.

"The bald donkeys from Miaoyin Temple have already retreated. They are really short-sighted guys." Gu Qingying said helplessly.

She knew in her heart that if Miaoyin Temple could make up its mind at this time and directly fight with the Spirit Beast Sect, it might be possible to suppress the Spirit Beast Sect.

However, the reality is that Miaoyin Temple chose to retreat, which made Yunshui Sect unable to support itself and the situation became very unfavorable.

Although Gu Qingying was reluctant to admit it, facing the reality, Yunshui Sect had to admit defeat.

At this time, the great elder of Yunshui Sect said: "Master, the only way to break the situation now is for you to be promoted to the Golden Core Realm!" His tone was firm.

Gu Qingying nodded slightly: "The materials for the Sky-breaking Pill are still missing the last three flavors."

Everyone fell silent, they knew what this meant.

In order to obtain these three precious medicinal materials, Yunshui Sect was willing to pay a huge effort and price.

But these three spiritual medicines are not so easy to obtain.

Gu Qingying took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Just bear with it..."

Her eyes fell on the broken soul tablet of Xu Tianyi in her hand, and a faint sadness surged in her heart.

Finally, Gu Qingying stood up and waved her hand.

The foundation builders of Yunshui Sect left silently, leaving Gu Qingying standing there quietly, wondering what she was thinking.

......

The tenth day after Xu Tianyi and Cao Rui were killed.

The territory of Xiao State fell into complete peace.

It seemed that Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple had agreed that no more foundation builders would invade Xiao State.

After the battle, the foundation builders of Lingshou Sect found that they had only fought to protect the signal tower.

And after the result of this battle, it was no surprise that the entire Xiao State was included in the scope of Lingshou Sect.

Both Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple tacitly agreed to this.

This has a lot to do with Cao Rui's sudden appearance in this battle.

Five foundation-building cultivators died. This time, more foundation-building cultivators died in the secret war in Xiao State than in the previous battle between Yunshui Sect and Lingshou Sect.

It can be said that this time, Lingshou Sect won the secret war with one against two.

This secret war in Xiao State is more meaningful than the previous battle in Qingling Market.

Lu Jiuxiao knows how to seize the opportunity. He immediately sent out cultivators from the sect to build small immortal cultivation markets near each signal tower stronghold.

After discussion, Feng Qingyun of the new generation held a small formation plate and temporarily took charge of Xiao State.

The rest of the foundation-building cultivators returned to the sect and performed their duties.

Cao Rui also returned to Qingling Market after arranging the signal tower.

After returning to the market, Cao Rui first found Sun Ming.

First, he sold the magic tools and talismans of several foundation-building cultivators he killed.

Cao Rui basically had no use for these magic tools and talismans.

It would be better to sell it and exchange it for spiritual stones.

Among the several foundation-building cultivators, Xu Tianyi's storage bag is the richest, with more than 10,000 spiritual stones.

After selling the magic tools of several cultivators, plus the spiritual stones, Cao Rui earned a total of 40,000 spiritual stones.

In this way, the spiritual stones in Cao Rui's storage bag are almost close to 100,000 spiritual stones.

From Zhang Mo, Cao Rui gained another 100,000 spiritual stones.

Because the Lingyin Jade Pendant has been pre-sold for 20,000 copies.

"I have to go back to the East China Sea to get the Lingwen Xuanjing, and then come back to start refining the Lingyin Jade Pendant."

On this day, the Qingling Market was sunny and the sky was as blue as a gem.

Cao Rui stood on the seventh floor of the cultivation pagoda, with Zhang Mo and Ye Yunyin behind him.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous Qingling Market, the faces of the three foundation-building cultivators all had a faint smile.

Cao Rui held the Lingyin Jade Pendant in his hand and gently stroked its surface.

He informed in the Lingyin Jade Pendant group chat: "I have to leave for the East China Sea in a few days!"

"Have a safe trip!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Cao."

The group chat kept echoing.

......

Cao Rui patted the beast bag and summoned Black Feather.

Stepping on Black Feather's back, he rushed towards the East China Sea.

After the battle with Xiaoguo, the group chat established by Cao Rui became an important platform for communication among the foundation-building cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect.

This group chat not only provides convenience, but also brings the foundation-building cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect closer.

They can share their experiences and insights as well as sect affairs at any time.

And Lu Jiuxiao expressed concern about Cao Rui's upcoming opening of this function in the second generation of Lingyin Jade Pendant.

He believes that this convenient communication method may cause some problems, and if it is open to the public, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he suggested that Cao Rui carefully consider whether to open this function to everyone.

Lu Jiuxiao never took it seriously, and now he has become a loyal defender of the Lingyin Jade Pendant...

...

Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and just over ten days passed in a flash.

Except for feeding Heiyu the deep-sea black turtle meat, Cao Rui kept driving Heiyu on the road all the way.

He crossed the entire Moon Country, crossed the spiritual vacuum zone, and finally arrived in the eastern part of Yunzhou and came to the coast of the East China Sea.

Cao Rui did not choose to enter the East China Sea Market, but went straight to the mineral vein island without hesitation.

When he approached the island, he immediately unfolded his powerful consciousness.

However, the next moment, his face became solemn. Because he found that there were very few people on the island, and obvious traces of fighting could be seen everywhere. This gave him an ominous premonition.

Cao Rui fell into the island, swept his consciousness, and finally found the monk hiding in a cave.

"Come out." Cao Rui's consciousness transmitted the sound.

The cultivator walked out tremblingly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Cao Rui: "Master Cao! You are finally back!"

This cultivator was one of the disciples of the Spiritual Beast Sect who followed Qian Xiaotong to support Cao Rui.

"What happened? Where are Qian Xiaotong and the others?" Cao Rui asked him when he found that he was not injured, but just frightened.

"Senior Brother Qian and the others are fine, they are all in the market, I stayed to observe the situation!" The disciple of the Spiritual Beast Sect looked at Cao Rui, as if he had found his backbone, and told him the story.
