As the spring brings forth new life, cultivating is the Wood Spirit for the Five-Spirit Capturing Demon Spirit.
Compared to the slow process of acquiring qi and taking decades to cultivate the five-colored purple mist qi, which requires a huge amount of resources to rapidly enhance one's cultivation level, the five-spirit capturing demon spirit cultivation has a faster rate and consumes less provisions.
The only drawback is that cultivators practicing the art of capturing demon spirit qi must engage in life-and-death battles with demons to absorb their essence and power, aiming to transform them into spiritual energy.
Taking demons as nourishment, as long as one can survive in each battle, the fastest speed and minimum investment can be achieved to achieve foundation establishment.
In summary, Mù Chūnze, who emerged from the West Sea, is a cultivator extremely skilled in law and spirit control as well as subduing demons.
His strength and vigilance are unparalleled among cultivators of his level.
Guarding the cultivation practitioner's mansion, the banquet hall.
Mù Chūnze, holding golden chopsticks, listened to Grandpa Gu talk nonsense while picking up a piece of horseboard sausage.
The plate sausage entered the mouth, still with that familiar flavor and texture, smooth and tender, deliciously so.
However, there seems to be something strange outside of the familiar taste.
Blood, the taste of blood.
It's getting stronger... What's happening?
It should come from the door.
Hmm?!!?
Instantaneously, Mù Chūnze, who was sitting in the main position, did not even have time to put down his chopsticks, and directly performed a magic transformation - becoming an auspicious deer.
There is at least a cultivator at the Zǐfǔ level causing trouble, controlling his daughter and Wang Yulong.
The white deer did not speak, but secretly used its vast spiritual awareness to manifest as a heavy hammer, pressing down heavily on Wang Xianmào.
"Wang Xianmao! Wake up!"
At the same time, the auspicious deer used all its strength with a mighty leap, appearing beside Zhou Yingxi in a flash of light. He bent down and picked up his daughter in his mouth.
Carrying his daughter who was in a state of confusion, he headlessly plunged into the clear water of the Qín Yùn Qīng Xī Stream.
There, there are the spiritual eyes of the great array!
Mù Chūnze is gambling, gambling that at least a Zǐfǔ level mysterious cultivator dares not to easily kill under the red light, and he wants to activate the array for help!
Watching Mù Chūnze leave, the blood-covered Yulou smiled.
Survived.
"Young cultivator, you have the qualifications for a Zǐfǔ. I await your opening of a Zǐfǔ."
"That time, we will meet again."
A voice that was neither masculine nor feminine echoed in his mind, and Yulou's smile froze on his face. His body involuntarily shivered.
He knew that the troublesome mysterious cultivator was about to leave.
On the other side, Wang Xianmao had also woken up long ago. It was almost instantaneously that he noticed the Yulou who had bitten his tongue and spat a few mouthfuls of blood on the ground.
He noticed it later than Mù Chūnze and didn't realize that this was the mischief of at least a Zǐfǔ-level great cultivator.
The tribal chief made a decisive move, activated his divine power, and his deep green body emitted dense spiritual energy.
In the spiritual energy, he used the Wood Spirit Escape Method to teleport to Wang Yulong's side in an instant, and also casually threw Hong Mei aside.
"What, Xianmao? What's going on?" Grandpa Gu, the second elder of the Gu family, was the last to react.
He judged that something serious had happened from the actions of Mù Chūnze and Wang Xianmao, so he also activated his own spiritual artifact.
The solidified green spiritual energy spread out, and from the remaining information in the air, Wang Xianmao saw everything that had just happened.
With a pale face, he shielded Yulou and Yu'an and glared at Grandpa Gu of the Gu family.
"Gu Laozi, don't move, sit there, the true disciples of the sect will be here soon!"
After communicating with Yulou through spirit communication, Wang Xianmao guessed that the bold great cultivator had run away.
As for what had happened, Wang Xianmao now understood it all too clearly.
On the competition grounds, Guo Yayue, who had been hiding all along, snatched the first place in the final moments.
Then, he manipulated Wang Yulong to act according to his script, but Wang Yulong broke free from his control.
Upon realizing that Wang Yulong had broken free from his control, the great cultivator worried about potential accidents and hid for a short while.
After investigating and ensuring there were no other great cultivators lurking, he wanted to continue controlling Wang Yulong.
But at that time, Wang Yulong had already followed Wang Xianmao's side.
He waited and waited, and when Wang Yulong entered the mansion of the guards, separated from Wang Xianmao at the banquet, he finally made his move.
Along the way, he altered Wang Yulong's words and even blinded Wang Yulong's auditory sense, making it so that Wang Yulong couldn't hear Wang Xianmao's response.
Wang Xianmao was extremely uneasy and even had cold sweat on his forehead——just now, he had talked a lot with Wang Yulong!
It was all that great cultivator pretending to play along with him!
If it weren't for Wang Yulong's instantaneous decision to bite off his tongue and spit out blood to call for help, the three children would have encountered something. Wang Xianmao dared not think about it.
Red-browed: I'm sorry, but the dear patriarch, my name is Wang Yushuohuo.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Yulou with blood staining his mouth, Yuan Panicked and asked.
"Specially" Wang Yulong collapsed to the ground, with no strength left, he answered in a weak voice. He was really scared.
Zhou Yingxi was controlled, Wang Yuanan was controlled, Hong Mei was controlled, the patriarch, Mù Chūnze, and the second elder of the Gu family were deceived.
It's so terrifying.
"What?" The wooden club Wang Yuanan was still asking, but the patriarch pushed him away and gently brushed over Yulou's face with his hand.
"Be patient." The patriarch muttered under his breath.
Using his spiritual power, he held together the tongue that Yulou had bitten off with difficulty, and then took out the bottle of Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pill from his bosom, pouring out a pill to feed to Yulou.
"Don't speak, just focus on recovering, I understand everything."
Looking at the feeble King of the Wolf Clan, the patriarch forced a smile and said.
"Now it's all settled. Since he dares not touch us, it means he doesn't want to expose himself, and he should have already left."
Yulou pointed to the direction of the southeast, which was towards the Great Dacheng Mountain, expressing himself concisely.
"Guo!"
"Yes, he might have problems too. Such a handsome figure, and yet the three of us failed to notice him from beginning to end. Ha, laughable, laughable, to be tricked like this!"
The patriarch sighed.
" hum ~hum ~hum ~long~"
A low and resounding sound echoed, and Yulou, who was sitting on the ground by the door of the banquet hall, looked up towards the source of the sound.
A black dragon has appeared in the sky above Qingxi Fang.
The reinforcements for Mù Chūnze have arrived.
Wang Xianmao let out a long breath and said.
"It's Wùjiāo Zhenren, Yuanan, accompany your brother. I will go and pay respects to the real person."
The old patriarch still has such a meticulous heart. Considering that Yulou had just experienced a great ordeal at that time, he specifically instructed Yuan to accompany Yulou.
Wang Xianmao flew through the air, and together with Mù Chūnze, he paid respects to the real person and reported the great changes they had encountered in Qingxi Fang.
The cultivators in the market had no idea what had happened, but seeing the black dragon coiled in the sky, they mistook it for a legendary Zǐfǔ demon general and were terrified.
Seeing the guards of the sect and the recently prominent head of the Anbei King family of Wang, they no longer felt afraid.
Mù Chūnze and Wang Xianmao welcomed them up, indicating that the black dragon was their own, not an external one.
"Hmph, the Wang family has caused quite a stir. It's no wonder you've been spotted!"
The black dragon's eyes did not move at all, and its mouth was merely closed. The Wùjiāo Zhenren only communicated with the two of them through telepathy.
"Real person, there may be thieves who want to disrupt the relationship between the Tianshe Sect and our Hongtong. They want to disrupt the opportunity for our ancestor's golden elixir."
Wang Xianmao replied with indifference.
The Wùjiāo Zhenren lost his physical body, his soul dwelling in the dragon's body, and the small paradise was gradually collapsing, with the passage of time and life essence unavoidable.
Even more unfortunate was that this Wùjiāo Zhenren from Zhou's family had earlier on caused quite a commotion within the sect when he was still a disciple.
Zhou clan had its eyes on the Wang clan, hoping to use the marriage with the Wang family as a breakthrough point, following the Xuanzhu One school, and restoring relations with the Mangxiang One lineage.
But the Wang family rejected it, so the Wùjiāo Zhenren, whose situation was dire, naturally wouldn't have a good look at Wang Xianmao.
The plot has taken a big turn, but not just from my brain.
As an author who has transitioned to cultivating, I attach great importance to the opinions of readers, but this thing is like a love affair. The more attention you pay, the more distorted your actions become.
I prepared a plot for an upload competition and worked hard on it, but some readers responded that the pacing was slow and didn't align with the core thrill points of fantasy cultivation novels. So, I wrote 27,000 words in one day just to get through the plot as quickly as possible.
Later, readers continued to respond, saying that the plot wasn't captivating enough. So, I quickly accelerated the pace and introduced some strong conflict plotlines - which is what you are seeing now.
This plot is not just brainstormed, there are foreshadowings and preambles in the previous part, and various corresponding plots afterwards.
