"Pfft!
Pfft! "
A flying sword pierced through the rat king's heart.
A flying sword spun around its head and directly cut off its head.
Naturally, the Demon Core lost its momentum and drooped slightly before being quickly put away by Yu Yang.
With the rat king dead, the rat swarm that had gathered together began to panic. They could no longer gather as much power as before.
Ziyue and the others attacked separately. Dharma artifacts, spells, and all sorts of area-of-effect attacks rained down on the rats.
As the saying goes, evil must be eradicated. The threat of these rats was equally great. If left alone, another rat demon king would be born in a few years' time.
After half an hour, they had not completely wiped out the rats. After all, these mountain rats were too small. Furthermore, they were in the cave, which spread out in all directions. It was difficult to eliminate them one by one.
However, most of the mountain rats, especially those that had evolved into mutated beasts, had already been eliminated.
At least, this place would be safe for thirty years.
"As expected, this is a small node of the spirit vein.
This group of mountain rats naturally grew at a very fast speed within the nodes of the spirit vein. "
Ding Mao felt the fluctuation of Spirit Qi in the surroundings. In the depths of the cave, he plucked a few spiritual materials.
These spiritual materials were neither expensive nor cheap. They were worth dozens or hundreds of Spirit Stones.
Of course, the real harvest this time was the rat demon's corpse and Demon Core. Zhao Ziyun and the others had temporarily stored them in their storage pouches. They would divide them later.
"This node of the spirit vein is too small. At most, it can only radiate a radius of about ten meters. It can't even open up a mu of Spirit Land.
Otherwise, it would be a source of income. "
Gu Hao smiled.
Spirit vein nodes were as large as Dong Xuan City Market. They could be used for Enlightened Immortal Masters to cultivate. They could radiate a radius of a few hundred meters and open up fifty mu of Spirit Land to build a market.
Small ones were like this one in the cave. Only the rat king benefited. Its strength was comparable to a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator. Beside it, there were only two newly formed rat demons and dozens of mutated rodent beasts.
"Although the rat king has been eliminated, the surrounding demon disaster was not caused by this rat king."
At this moment, Zhao Ziyun spoke.
"That's right. Although this rat demon isn't weak, it relies more on the power of the rat pack.
However, it's impossible for them to kidnap all the villagers within a radius of tens of miles without making a sound. "
Yu Yang chimed in.
"Looks like our opponent this time isn't simple. He actually knows how to stir up trouble.
Every time he made a move, he would deliberately pass by this place and leave one or two villagers behind. "
As Zhao Ziyun spoke, he had already guessed the reason why they had been lured to this place. Mental Energy surged once again as he executed the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique. After circling the area once, he instantly looked towards the sky and said, "This monster obviously has the ability to fly. After coming here, it flew straight into the void …"
As he spoke, he summoned the red-crowned crane back. Soon, he hopped onto the red-crowned crane and hovered in the air. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "I found something. Should we chase after it?"
"Let's give chase. This rat demon alone won't be able to complete the mission of the Immortal Pavilion."
As Yu Yang spoke, his mental strength surged. The bag of holding on his waist opened and a small boat Dharma artifact appeared.
Spiritual energy surged and the boat expanded in the wind. Soon, it turned into a flying ship that could accommodate four to five people.
It was only then that Ziyue noticed that other than him, there were four other people who had storage bags. They were Yu Yang, Ding Mao, Zhao Ziyun, and Gu Hao.
As for Gong Fei and Liu Zhixuan from the Dao Accomplishment Sect, neither of them had storage bags.
Obviously, other than the factor of strength, the accumulation of this sect was probably not as good as the Chaoyang Sect and the Kunwu Sword Sect.
Yu Yang gestured for the few of them to board the flying ship. Then, he looked towards Ziyue and expressed his goodwill. "Fellow Daoist Bai, if you don't mind, you can board as well."
"Thank you."
Ziyue nodded and called out to the black puppy to follow him. Then, he hopped onto the flying ship.
Hence, under the lead of the two red-crowned cranes, the flying ship soared and easily caught up.
On the ground, the black puppy was running wildly …
"This flying ship is already considered a Spiritual Artifact, right?"
Bai Ziyue sized up the entire flying ship with a look of shock.
Although the flying ship was not big, it was overflowing with light. He could sense that there were more than 81 restrictions on it. It had exceeded the limit of 81 restrictions on a Dharma artifact.
"It's not a Spiritual Artifact. In fact, it's only a superior-grade Dharma artifact.
The reason why there are so many restrictions is because its body is bigger and is made up of many parts.
That's why it can engrave more restrictions.
Of course, in terms of cost, this flying ship is not inferior to an inferior-grade Spiritual Artifact.
In terms of speed, it should be comparable to a cultivator who has just entered the Aperture Awakening Realm. "
Yu Yang explained with a smile.
"Senior Brother Yu, you're too humble. This Purple Wood Cosmos Ship is made up of a total of 36 parts. Each part can be engraved with restrictions.
Although it's not a high grade, it's sealed with a second-stage Dharma spell, the Gale Escape Technique. Once it's activated, even a cultivator in the Aperture Awakening Realm can only eat dust behind it. "
Ding Mao said with a hint of envy on his face.
The other people's faces were also filled with envy.
Although they wanted such a life-saving item that was comparable to a Spiritual Artifact, they could not afford it.
After all, not everyone had Yu Yang's background and a grandfather who was an elder in the Chaoyang Sect.
Yu Yang smiled and didn't explain himself.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Bai, the Dharma spell you used just now seemed to have some magical properties. What is it?
Of course, if it's not convenient for you to say, I won't force you. "
Ding Mao seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"That's right. It's hard to believe that Fellow Daoist Bai is already at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Also, that palm print seems to have some magical properties. It's not simple at all. "
At this moment, Gong Fei's eyes flashed and he also asked.
"That Dharma spell is called the Treasure Stabilizing Divine Light. I obtained it by accident. It only has some auxiliary effects and does not have any destructive power. It's nothing.
As for that palm print, it's actually a martial art technique.
Itinerant cultivators like me practice whatever they can get their hands on. Whether it's Dharma spells or martial arts, I practice both.
I can't compare to all of you who come from famous sects. "
Ziyue smiled humbly and gave a simple introduction.
"Is that so?
However, it's rare to see someone like Fellow Daoist Bai among itinerant cultivators.
If not for the fact that Fellow Daoist cultivates the Purple Qi Visualization Technique, I would have invited Fellow Daoist Bai to join my Daoist Sect.
Although my Daoist Sect can't compare to the Chaoyang Sect, I'm still the Sect Master's disciple. It's not impossible for me to introduce Fellow Daoist Bai to the Sect Master. "
Gong Fei's eyes flashed and he spoke with even more enthusiasm.
"Junior Brother Gong, you're going too far.
Fellow Daoist Bai is destined to be a member of my Chaoyang Sect. Perhaps he was planted by one of my Martial Uncles during his travels. He's not someone you can rope in with just a few words. "
Yu Yang's face turned solemn as he spoke.
The Chaoyang Sect had always had a rule of three years of travel for Enlightened Immortal Masters.
During their travels, they would naturally pass down their techniques to those who had the aptitude for Immortal Spells. Over the years, the Chaoyang Sect had taken in many disciples because of this.
Liu Zhixuan could not help but look at Gong Fei strangely.
"I'm just saying."
Gong Fei replied expressionlessly.
"All this while, I've been cultivating the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique. Naturally, I'd like to cultivate the subsequent techniques.
I can only accept Fellow Daoist Gong's good intentions. "
Ziyue also felt a little strange, but he still replied politely.
"With Fellow Daoist Bai's strength, as long as you have a clean background, it's actually not difficult for you to join my Chaoyang Sect.
How about this, I have a piece of Mysterious Jade. When you meet Steward Zhang from the Internal Affairs Hall, give it to him. He should give me some face. "
Yu Yang revealed a satisfied smile as he spoke to Ziyue.
"It's fate that brought us together. Since Fellow Daoist Bai wants to join my Chaoyang Sect, we'll be brothers in the future. I'll also write you a letter so that you won't be troubled by despicable people."
When Ding Mao saw this, he also spoke enthusiastically.
As he spoke, he quickly took out a blank Jade Slip from his storage bag and left a message on it. He also infused his spiritual aura into it and handed it to Ziyue.
"Thank you, Senior Brothers."
Ziyue reached out to take the items from the two of them and thanked them profusely.
Although it was definitely because of the strength that he had displayed previously, which made the two of them take him seriously, he was still grateful that they were willing to help him with the recommendation.
"We're here!
Get ready! "
At this moment, a light shout came from the two Immortal Cranes not far away.
Immediately, everyone's heart skipped a beat as they landed on a flat ground. In the distance, there was a small village.
Everyone was stunned and could not help but look at Zhao Ziyun strangely.
This village was very small, with only about 30 households. However, the people inside were all well and even seemed to be peaceful.
With the ferocity of the evil spirit, if it was really in this village, how could it let these people go?
"Although I do not know why this place is completely undamaged, the aura of that evil is the densest in this place. If my guess is correct, his lair should be in this vicinity."
As Zhao Zi Yun spoke, a resolute expression appeared on his face. "I'm very confident in my Thousand Mile Tracking Technique."
"Alright, then let's enter the village and see what this evil spirit is."
Yu Yang said and stepped out of the Purple Wood Qiankun Ship.
Following closely behind, Ziyue and the rest also jumped out of the ship and landed on the flat ground.
There was no need to say anything. Everyone immediately took out their Immortal Artifacts and prepared to activate them at the first moment.
The evil spirit that was about to gain sentience might be on par with a Level 9 Qi Refining Stage cultivator. However, due to its special constitution, its strength was often stronger than a Level 9 Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
None of them dared to be careless.
