Chapter 75: Chain Reaction, Sect Wars, Ti to Make a Move
The Moon Demon Sect was instantly enraged by the accusations and launched a massive attack on the Heavenly Treasure Sect, seeking revenge for their fallen cultivators.
Boom!
Explosions echoed continuously outside the Heavenly Treasure Sect's mountain gates as the two sides clashed.
In the Fifth Planting Area, Xu Ning stood by the window of his thatched hut, hands behind his back, and couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't expected such a large-scale reaction.
Although he had anticipated this possible outco, Xu Ning hadn't hesitated at the ti. It was a calculated risk.
If he acted timidly, how could he control the situation in the future? He had to be decisive.
However, this ant Xu Ning had to prepare for the possibility of the Heavenly Treasure Sect being wiped out and for him to flee. He needed a backup plan.
No, Xu Ning shook his head abruptly. The Heavenly Treasure Sect couldn't be destroyed yet. His current strength was too weak. He needed to reach a certain level of cultivation before he could afford to lose the sect's protection. It was too early.
However, Xu Ning later dismissed the idea of intervening. Judging from the intensity of the battle, it wouldn't be long before both sides temporarily ceased hostilities. Neither side could sustain a long war.
After all, a war between two sects was no joke. It would consu a lot of resources and manpower. Both sides would bleed.
And each sect had accumulated so much over the years, their foundations and trump cards were countless. How could they be easily destroyed in a short ti? They had reserves.
And the result was as Xu Ning had predicted: after three months of fighting, both sects tacitly stopped their attacks, withdrawing to lick their wounds.
Both sides suffered casualties, and resources were largely depleted, making further progress pointless. It was a stalemate.
However, this incident created a deep rift between the two sides, making future clashes inevitable. The peace was temporary.
Over the past three months, Wang Ergou and Li Yun had both reached the second level of Qi Refining through diligent cultivation. They were making steady progress.
Xu Ning, on the other hand, remained at the first level of Qi Refining. All his resources had been used to upgrade his formations and support his network. He had prioritized defense over advancent.
That very evening, Xu Ning received another large quantity of formation materials from Luo Xiu, his face beaming with excitent. It was what he had been waiting for.
"That's about enough! Ti to make my move!" Xu Ning murmured, then took out his two formations and began feeding them the materials, layer by layer.
After months of continuous feeding, the two formations had already reached the upper grade of Spirit level. Today, they should be able to reach the highest grade with the new materials.
Soon, with Xu Ning's feeding, the defensive formation flashed with light, successfully upgrading to the highest grade of the Spirit level. Its power was now formidable.
Xu Ning didn't stop. He continued upgrading the offensive formation, quickly also upgrading it to the highest grade of the Spirit level. Both were now at their peak.
Then, Xu Ning took out the various spiritual herbs he had planted and began irrigating them with the spiritual manure he had recently accumulated, quickly upgrading all the herbs to the upper grade of the Spirit level. His garden was flourishing.
After gathering and packing all the spiritual herbs, he wrote down instructions and had the Yingying Monster deliver them to Luo Xiu.
To be honest, the Heavenly Treasure Sect and the Moon Demon Sect had been at war for the past three months, and the defensive array had been constantly activated, making it inconvenient for the Yingying Monster to deliver goods. It always required leaving the sect to release it, which was risky.

Now that the two sects were at peace, it was a relief for Xu Ning. He could move freely again.
Soon, the Yingying Monster arrived at the cave where Luo Xiu was hiding.
To be honest, Luo Xiu had been living in constant fear for the past three months, terrified of being discovered by the Heavenly Treasure Sect's patrols. He barely slept.
Fortunately, he managed to evade detection thanks to the resources given to him by his senior. They had kept him hidden.
However, for the past three months, his senior had been focused on other things, even cutting off his usual 10% resource allowance, preventing any improvent in his strength. Lately, he had been constantly worried and filled with fear for the future. He felt exposed.
At this mont, the familiar Yingying Monster returned, tossing a large package in front of Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu quickly opened it, finding a storage bag inside.
Picking up the storage bag, Luo Xiu imdiately probed it with his divine sense, and its contents instantly appeared in his mind.
Then, Luo Xiu was completely dumbfounded, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Top-grade Dragon Blood Fruit, top-grade Dragon Beard Tree Root, top-grade Ancient Earth Vine, top-grade Cloud Spirit Flower…
All the spiritual herbs were top-grade, and there weren't just one of each, but three or four! It was a fortune.
Top-grade spiritual herbs were extrely rare, especially the materials for Foundation Establishnt Pills, which required obtaining them from special secret realms. The chance of finding top-grade ones was incredibly low, let alone a complete set. This was unprecedented.
Luo Xiu roughly counted, and the Foundation Establishnt Pill spiritual herbs his senior had given him were only one item short of forming a complete set.
If Luo Xiu rembered correctly, it was the Qi-Nourishing Flower seed that his senior had been asking him to find. If a top-grade Qi-Nourishing Flower were added, this set of spiritual herbs would cause a sensation throughout the cultivation world.
Anyone who had cultivated knew that using a complete set of top-grade spiritual herbs to refine pills would inevitably result in top-grade pills, with a chance of producing a supre-grade one. The quality would be unmatched.
The higher the quality of the Foundation Establishnt Pill, the better its effect. A high-grade pill could increase the chance of Foundation Establishnt by 60%, while a top-grade pill not only guaranteed success but also improved the quality of the foundation. A higher foundation not only enhanced combat power but also increased the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core stage in the future.
This might not seem significant, but to put it another way, a set of top-grade Foundation Establishnt herbs, if successfully refined, could not only create several Foundation Establishnt cultivators on your side but also guarantee one more high-quality Foundation Establishnt cultivator—one with exceptional combat power and a high probability of reaching the Golden Core stage in the future.
Furthermore, a set of top-grade Foundation Establishnt herbs didn't necessarily yield only one top-grade pill. If a master alchemist could be persuaded to participate, many pills could be produced from the sa set. The value was imnse.
The more Luo Xiu thought about it, the more alard he beca. This was beyond anything he had ever imagined.
Imdiately, Luo Xiu took out the senior's letter and opened it with trembling hands.
The more he read, the wider his eyes widened. The senior's plan was audacious.
Then, Luo Xiu hurriedly took out two sets of formations from his storage bag, his hands trembling as he examined them.
The aura emanating from the array sent a chill down Luo Xiu's spine. It was incredibly powerful.
A top-grade Spirit-level array was arguably the pinnacle of Spirit-level arrays. With enough spirit stones to support its operation, even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator wouldn't be able to break it. It was a fortress.
"Senior's generosity is truly astounding! I'm just a small part of this."
Following his senior's instructions, Luo Xiu delivered everything to Zhou Lin through the crow and rewrote the instructions for him.
Zhou Lin, upon receiving it, was also initially shocked, exclaiming, "Senior Luo Tian is truly generous! I don't know how to repay him."
The next morning, Zhou Lin took the items to the market and rented a shop from the market's managent office, paying for a pri location.
Due to the war with the Moon Demon Sect, the market had been unusually quiet for the past three months, so the rent had been drastically reduced: ten spirit stones a day, three hundred spirit stones a month, and three thousand six hundred spirit stones a year. It was a bargain.
Zhou Lin had just sold so ordinary high-grade spirit herbs through his network, so he had enough spirit stones and paid a year's rent directly, securing the location.
Upon arriving at the shop, Zhou Lin set up and activated the formations, ensuring its security. Then he hung up the prepared signboard with the three gilded characters "Tianji Pavilion" on it. The na was imposing.
Following his senior's instructions, he then wrote down the nas of the spiritual herbs to be sold and hung them outside on a large placard, announcing the coming sale.
Initially, no one paid any attention to the newly opened shop. It was just another store.
That is, until soone noticed the pre-sale sign outside and read it carefully.
"For sale tomorrow: Top-grade Dragon Blood Fruit, Top-grade Dragon Beard Tree Root, Top-grade Ancient Earth Vine..."
As they looked, everyone's eyes widened, then slowly turned to astonishnt. They read it again and again.
Because the spiritual herbs listed on the pre-sale sign were actually the ingredients for Foundation Establishnt Pills, and only the Top-grade Qi-Nourishing Flower was missing.
In other words, as long as one bought this set of spiritual herbs and found a way to obtain a high-grade Qi-Nourishing Flower, one could assemble a complete set of top-grade Foundation Establishnt herbs. It was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
As more and more cultivators gathered at the shop entrance, buzzing with excitent, soone finally couldn't resist stepping forward to inquire about the prices and availability.
