Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 131 - 133: Entering

After Du Zhe and his group entered, they did not find a place to quietly wait but immediately began to investigate the Formation, and judging by his demeanor, he seemed very familiar with this particular Formation.

This scene, observed by Li Zhirui and several other cultivators who had been watching them, caused the former to furrow his brows tightly, his curiosity about Du Zheʼs identity growing stronger.

The latter, however, were extremely excited, for they saw in Du Zhe a hope for entering the cave dwelling.

”Does Fellow Daoist have any findings? Please share them, and let us all think of a way to break the Formation together,” a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator without a companion suddenly spoke up.

The silence of the cave dwelling was instantly shattered, and all the cultivatorsʼ gazes were drawn to Du Zhe and his group.

Du Zhe spoke with composure, ”I once saw a record of this Formation in an incomplete classic; its name is the Kunyuan Shengjin Great Array. As long as the surrounding Earth Energy is continuous, it can endlessly produce golden light to attack.”

”As for the method to break the Formation, itʼs also quite simple—the solution is to use a large amount of Wood-attribute Skills to attack the base of the Formation.”

A certain Loose Cultivator asked, ”Does Fellow Daoist know the location of the Formation base?”

”I do,” Du Zhe nodded without hesitation, and then he revealed the location of the Formation base.

For a moment, everyone was overjoyed, but when it came time to take action, the situation became a bit awkward.

Thatʼs because many of them had not learned any Wood-attribute Skills!

Li Zhirui thought to himself, Could this be the reason he invited me here?

It is known that because Wood-attribute Skills are not as powerful as Metal and Fire ones, even Loose Cultivators with a Wood Spirit Root rarely learn Wood-attribute Skills.

But Du Zheʼs knowledge about the Great Array was so extensive that he even knew how to break it. Could this really be just from his studies of an incomplete scripture? Li Zhirui was skeptical.

Fortunately, there were enough Loose Cultivators in the cave dwelling that they eventually found quite a few who could act, but they were unwilling to give it their all.

Thatʼs because exhausting a large amount of Mana now would mean they would be the first to fall once they entered the cave dwelling.

Those several dozen cultivators even banded together to ask for benefits from everyone, ensuring that even if they didnʼt enter the dwelling, their trip wouldnʼt have been in vain.

The other cultivators had no choice; killing these people was not an option—who would break the Formation then? Besides, there were many of them, and using force seemed impractical.

In the end, Li Zhirui and others had to part with certain Spiritual Objects before the group of cultivators finally began to take action.

Li Zhirui could hardly bear to look at their Wood-attribute Skills, as they were so poor he didnʼt even know what to say, and he even saw someone using the most basic Vine Skill to attack the Formation.

Under the ”tireless efforts” of this group of cultivators, after several hours, the Great Array was finally broken.

To be more precise, the base of the Formation had been damaged enough that the Formation could no longer smoothly absorb the Kunyuan Earth Energy, and then, with the efforts of all the cultivators, they managed to break this third-tier Great Formation.

The instant the Formation was dispelled, dense clouds of pure, rich Spiritual Energy spilled out, and all the cultivators involuntarily began to run their Cultivation Techniques, refining the Spiritual Energy into Mana directly.

ʼThis is even richer than the Spiritual Energy in the few Spirit Caves of the family!ʼ Li Zhirui was full of surprise in his heart.

The Earth Master of Shen Leishan, when setting up the Promotion Array, also helped the Li family to open up five Spirit Caves on a third-tier Spirit Vein as requested.

Before leaving Da Rong Island, Li Zhirui had exchanged Contribution Value for an opportunity to cultivate in a Spirit Cave.

```

But the concentration of spiritual energy here, as well as its ability to be directly refined into mana, is far more inferior to this place!

”Could it be that this place contains a fourth-order Spirit Vein?” guessed a cultivator from a minor family, not daring to be certain.

But now, everyone had no time to care about this matter.

Because as the mist of dense spiritual energy dispersed, the situation inside the cave dwelling was fully exposed to everyoneʼs eyes.

A pool that seemed to be entirely condensed from spiritual energy—Li Zhirui recognized the origin of this treasure. It was an extremely precious Spirit Source Spring that could spontaneously give birth to a Spirit Vein!

Considering the state of this Spirit Source Spring, it should be able to nurture a second-order Spirit Vein.

”Is this the treasure that impulsively stirred my heart?” Li Zhirui wondered to himself.

Given the quality of this Spirit Source Spring, if absorbed by the space, it could at least reduce the consumption of Spirit Stones by one-tenth, or even more, when cultivating Spiritual Medicines.

Besides the Spirit Source Spring, there were four crystal-clear jade platforms, each bearing three Jade Slips, a Jade Box, a Jade Bottle, and two Magical Treasures.

Looking farther to the right, there was a corpse that looked no different from a living person, and the faint aura of authority it radiated allowed one to ascertain that in life, he was a Golden Core cultivator and the owner of this cave dwelling.

On this corpse, there were many Spiritual Objects. The third-order Vestment robe it wore, the storage ring on its ring finger, the jade crown on its head, and the meditation mat it sat upon, all shimmered with a treasureʼs glow.

All the cultivators fixed their eyes on these treasures, but only Li Zhirui, while keeping an eye on Du Zhe, was also looking at the Spirit Source Spring!

The preciousness of the Spirit Source Spring goes without saying, but there was one problem they couldnʼt solve: they couldnʼt take it with them, and naturally, they wouldnʼt waste their effort on it.

But it was different for Li Zhirui, who had space at his disposal and could transfer the Spirit Source Spring into it!

When he was still a Qi Cultivation practitioner, he had used space to absorb a half Spirit Vein—now that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, absorbing the Spirit Source Spring was naturally within his capabilities.

So while the others rushed to snatch the other Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui approached the Spirit Source Spring, extended his left hand into it, communicated with his space, and attempted to absorb it.

Before taking action, he also noticed Du Zheʼs target was the Jade Bottle that fewer cultivators were competing for.

In an instant, Li Zhirui felt the mana in his Dantian being rapidly depleted, while the Spirit Source Spring began to boil, slowly lifting off from the ground.

Fortunately, at that moment, the other cultivators were still fighting over the treasures, and the commotion masked his actions, failing to draw anyone elseʼs attention.

But the good times didnʼt last long, and Li Zhirui was discovered.

”That kid has a treasure capable of taking the Spirit Source Spring!” someone shouted, drawing the attention of many cultivators towards Li Zhirui.

”Damn it!” he cursed under his breath and, acting decisively, launched the only first-order Magic Artifact he hadnʼt discarded—the Pine Needles—piercing through the heart of the screamer.

The cultivators whose attention had been attracted divided; some continued fighting over the treasures, while others disengaged to launch an attack on Li Zhirui.

”Hmph!” With a cold snort and a darkening expression, he paid no mind to revealing his identity. A large amount of Corrosive Water transformed into various Spirit Beasts and lunged at those few individuals.

At the same time, he summoned Da Qing, saying, ”Da Qing, help me hold them off for a moment!”

Without further ado, Li Zhirui focused entirely on absorbing the Spirit Source Spring, eager to bring it into his space as quickly as possible.
