"To the south, the Burning Heaven Sect of Yue Country has expanded northward, already taking over most of the oases in the Boundless Desert and establishing mortal cities..."
"In the north, the Hundred Refinents Sect of Yan Country has crossed the border to the south, engaging in several skirmishes with the Burning Heaven Sect. Both sides have suffered casualties among their Foundation Establishnt cultivators, and it seems even so elders' direct disciples were involved. The tension at the border is palpable..."
"Hmm... The various sects in Yu Kingdom are constantly at odds. Truly a harmonious and friendly alliance of the Five Righteous Sects."
Chu Xuan sneered.
Once the common threat of the Wuji Sect was gone, the Five Righteous Sects would start fighting each other for their own interests.
Support us at .
It would probably take the ergence of a dominant sect like the Hundred Refinents Sect or the Burning Heaven Sect in Yan Country or Yue Country for the wars to cease.
Chu Xuan took out a map.
He had spent a thousand Small Spirit Stones to buy this map.
It encompassed the entire Yu Kingdom, Yan Country, and Yue Country.
These three countries bordered each other.
However, between Yu Kingdom and Yue Country lay the Boundless Desert.
Between Yu Kingdom and Yan Country flowed a vast river.
Moreover, Yan Country and Yue Country were also old enemies.
This allowed the cultivators of Yu Kingdom to live relatively peacefully.
"Hmm? Underground ruins have appeared in the Cloud Mist Mountains of Yu Kingdom, and so cultivators accidentally entered them, bringing out nurous Spiritual Artifacts buried underground for years, and even so treasures?"
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow at this piece of information.
The ergence of underground ruins ant that many cultivators would flock there.
It would inevitably lead to bloodshed, chaos, and death.
For Demonic Cultivators, this was a rare opportunity.
Chu Xuan had no intention of getting involved in this ss.
The underground ruins were too dangerous.
With treasures erging, Golden Elixir powerhouses would be the main force exploring the ruins.
As a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator, how could he compete with Golden Elixir cultivators for the spoils?
He might even be seen as a tasty morsel by so Golden Elixir cultivators.
However, this didn't stop Chu Xuan from doing business near the underground ruins.
With so many cultivators heading to the ruins, a market would naturally form around them.
Items like demonic talismans, evil elixirs, and Blood Pearls, which could quickly enhance one's strength, would beco hot commodities.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Xuan could search for other Condensing Elixir thods.
Perhaps he might find one more suitable for himself.
Not to ntion, the Thunder Falcon Condensing Elixir thod was only a mid-grade Foundation Establishnt secret technique. If he could replace it with a high-grade or even top-grade Foundation Establishnt technique, it would be excellent.
Chu Xuan reviewed all the information Chen Ge had sent him.
He didn't fully trust the information provided by Chen Ge.
In his view, anyone could betray him, could turn against him.
Even if Chen Ge saw potential in him and was willing to serve him, there might co a day when he was controlled by soone stronger and used against him.
Relying too much on Chen Ge's intelligence network was not a good thing.
At the very least, he needed two sources of information to corroborate each other.
However, Chu Xuan currently didn't have the capability to establish two intelligence networks.
He could only compare the information from Han Liuyun and Chen Ge.
...
A few days later.
Cloud Mist Market.
Although the war between the Tianyin Gate and the local sects of Wuzhou had ended, the naless market in this area had survived.
Perhaps because of the surrounding mist, cultivators began calling it Cloud Mist Market.
Over ti, soone even erected a sign at the market entrance with the words "Cloud Mist Market."
Chu Xuan sat by the window in a teahouse, waiting calmly.
Before long, a hidden weapon flew in from outside the window.
Three ters away from Chu Xuan, it suddenly split into three smaller hidden weapons.
They glowed with a dangerous green light, clearly poisoned.
Chu Xuan didn't make any visible move.
Three sinister demonic claws precisely caught the three hidden weapons.
Han Liuyun's laughter echoed from downstairs, approaching, "How about this move? My newly developed Mother-Child Dart."
Chu Xuan replied, "Not bad."
Han Liuyun clicked his tongue in wonder, "To receive a 'not bad' from you, I can be proud."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a puff of smoke dispersed, neutralizing the faint poison powder in the air, "Your poison skills have advanced rapidly."
"You've already given so pressure."
Chu Xuan remained expressionless.
He had been studying the Venomous Scripture recently and had gained so insights.
Anyway, every ti they t, they would test each other.
He might as well use Han Liuyun to test his newly developed poisons.
If it couldn't kill, it ant his poison technique wasn't perfected yet and needed more research.
The day he truly poisoned Han Liuyun to death would an his poison technique had reached mastery.
Han Liuyun said, "Speaking of business, the reason I called you here is..."
Chu Xuan calmly interjected, "The underground ruins in the Cloud Mist Mountains."
Han Liuyun was slightly surprised, "You already know? It seems your intelligence is no less than mine."
Chu Xuan lightly tapped the table, "Are you planning to go in?"
Han Liuyun nodded, "I noticed a slight change in your aura, indicating you've taken Duan Feipeng's spiritual root."
"I'm not like you; I only have a high-grade spiritual root. Normally, a high-grade spiritual root only has a twenty percent chance of reaching the Golden Elixir path. That's too low."
"With treasures already erging from the underground ruins, there must be spiritual items beneficial for Condensing Elixir."
"I have no choice but to go."
Chu Xuan nodded.
Such was the life of a cultivator.
A lifeti of taking risks.
Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts, spiritual items, elixirs, formations... all were factors driving cultivators to toil.
Seeing Chu Xuan's calm deanor, Han Liuyun asked curiously, "You're not going? There might be a path to the Golden Elixir there."
Chu Xuan shook his head, "I've said it before, I don't like fighting and killing, I just love making good connections."
Han Liuyun, "…If I hadn't seen you kill, I might have believed you."
"By the way, Wang Jianyu wanted to find you through , saying he wanted to spar with you. I refused on your behalf."
Chu Xuan nodded, "You did well to refuse."
He had no interest in sparring with others.
It was a waste of energy and could easily expose his trump cards.
Afterward, the two traded so items and left in different directions.
Han Liuyun never took the sa path as Chu Xuan.
And Chu Xuan did the sa.
...
Ocean Blue Star.
Chu Xuan crossed over to the rooftop of the Haotai Hotel.
A large amount of intelligence presented by Black Blade was already laid out before him.
Although Ocean Blue Star was just a small planet with extrely scarce Spiritual Energy, the revival of spiritual energy here was subtly changing all living beings on this planet.
Who knows, sothing beyond Chu Xuan's expectations might appear one day.
Therefore, he had to keep an eye on everything.
Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.
How could he let himself be caught off guard in such a place he considered his backyard?
"According to the descriptions of the surviving escapees, the man-eating vines in the western part of Yanhan are showing signs of expansion, with several Level Five Transcendents having died in their encirclent..."
"In the south of Yanhan, the poisonous insects are growing stronger, with swarms of locusts dominating the area. They are migrating towards the coast, devouring all vegetation in their path..."
