130: Count the harvest!
After a dizzying, earth-shattering tremor, Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes.
The residual medicinal power in his body hadn't been fully digested before someone forcibly interrupted his cultivation process, making him incredibly annoyed.
He suddenly stood up and angrily said,
"Who the hell is messing with me? You dog! Shen, was it you?"
Even Qiu Ya and Ruo Liuli were awakened, but fortunately, the cultivation of a Martial Warrior was quite brutal, and they had been the first to absorb the spiritual liquid from the blood pool, not yet reaching the stage of refining the Five-Finger Tree.
So, the impact they felt wasn't strong!
They simply got up, found a place, and continued their secluded cultivation to refine the immense Yao Beast power within their bodies!
Wang Teng looked around, the scorching sun above his head making it difficult to open his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"Strange, could it be that the mountain was destroyed by Shen?"
"No... why are there still common people here? It seems I've truly become engrossed in my cultivation and am completely stunned."
"Hmm? This isn't Yanmo Mountain."
"Where the hell did this bring me?"
Wang Teng looked left and right, then saw a few familiar common folk and shrieked,
"Damn it? I'm directly back in the city?"
"Shen!"
Wang Teng was shouting, but Shen Li, who had already settled the numerous Yuting Guards, said helplessly,
"Stop shouting, let's talk about it back at the City Lord's Manor!"
Everyone returned to the City Lord's Manor and sat down.
Seeing Shen Li's serious expression, Wang Teng couldn't help but ask,
"This kind of method can only be achieved by a teleportation formation... Where did you get it? What did you encounter? Otherwise, with your Heart-Nature, you would never use a formation so easily!"
Shen Li also felt a great pang of regret; this large-scale teleportation formation was an excellent tool for sneak attacks, raiding bases, and flanking maneuvers. Using it just like that, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel heartbroken.
Shen Li merely vaguely conveyed the news of the Half-Step Dao Foundation to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's eyes flickered, and then he said in a deep voice,
"Is that so? This matter cannot be taken lightly. You obtained many Opportunities from Yanmo Mountain, and perhaps there are Restrictions left by that Half-Step Dao Foundation among them..."
"You should not go out during this time. I will return to the Market and inquire with an Immortal Master to see if there is a solution."
"It's better to fear a thief's designs than a thief's theft... You can guard against a thief for a day, but you can't guard against him every day!"
"Trouble!"
Wang Teng waved his hand, then stood up and hastily left Black Ridge City in his Magical Boat.
Although the two of them constantly had minor squabbles, the affection accumulated over these past few years was undeniable.
While Shen could sometimes be detestable, he was always reliable at critical moments.
Furthermore, if not for Shen Li, he would probably still be wasting away in the Wang Family Market, not knowing when he would be able to smooth out his Heart-Nature and cultivate quickly.
There was even that Ninth Grade strange item... Hmm, although it was a bit disgusting, it was still a strange item, wasn't it?
Moreover, in Black Ridge City, he didn't have to do anything but still enjoyed a treatment only one level below Shen Li's; this in itself was a tremendous trust!
Unbeknownst to him, Wang Teng had long considered Black Ridge City his own.
Since it was his own, he naturally had to protect it well.
That's why he was a bit anxious.
And distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst; currently, the highest military power in the city was General Wushuang, an Extreme Martial Warrior.
If Ruo Liuli and Qiu Ya also entered the Extreme Martial Warrior Realm, then there would be no need to fear. However, while they were invincible in close combat, they had to be careful of the Half-Step Dao Foundation's magical arts.
Killing was easy, but getting close... was difficult.
However, fortunately, with the addition of the Four Seasons Cycle Formation, by staying inside, that Half-Step Dao Foundation wouldn't pose much of a threat!
Thinking of this, Shen Li's mood calmed down considerably.
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.
And began to carefully examine his gains.
[Low Grade Magical Artifact • loulan treasure ship Fragment * 1, Spiritual Puppet Control Minor Art, Soul Suppression Minor Art, Yinming Dao Soldier Method, Earth Silkworm Shedding, some Spirit Stones, Lone Soul Resentment Five Directions Great Formation Diagram, Soul Capturing Pool, four mu of Ninth Grade Spiritual Field, three mu of Blood Tai Sui, Medium Grade Magical Artifact • azure sea tide generating screen, Low Grade Magical Artifact • Creekside Vase,]

[Puppet Control Bell]
Looking at the fully packed Storage Pouch, Shen Li couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
No matter how precious the longevity pill was, it was only a Ninth Grade item, extending life by three years. Was it worth exchanging for so many rare treasures?
To others, perhaps the longevity pill was more important, but to Shen Li, it was far inferior to the gains from this trip!
And clearly, Shen Li's current situation was like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse; he had raided the stronghold of the Luan Xiu Alliance... and was even extremely fortunate to have annihilated this Evil Cultivator Alliance before the Half-Step Dao Foundation could return to provide support!
Otherwise, if they had waited for the Half-Step Dao Foundation to return... they would probably be the ones dead.
Of course... death was not certain, after all, Shen Li still had his final trump card, the Immortal Master's spiritual sword, which he hadn't used. But at that time, it would have been a situation of barely surviving and living in shame.
How could that compare to the satisfaction of being overflowing with wealth now?
And although this trip was dangerous... amidst the danger, Shen Li felt an extremely stimulating sensation.
However, he did not dwell too much on this feeling; it was too risky... it should not be the behavior of a Cultivator, and he needed to correct it in the future.
After self-reflection, Shen Li's gaze turned to his gains.
The first thing he saw was a Storage Pouch, which was entirely filled with Spirit Stones. Counting them carefully, there were over seventy thousand.
This relieved a lot of pressure from Shen Li, after all... he still owed money to the Qi Sect, Talisman Hall, and Pill Hall.
Although the Yuting Guards suffered some losses on this trip, their number was maintained at over two thousand four hundred, with only about a hundred deaths, which was an extremely astonishing battle result.
The Yao Beasts and the Martial Warriors of the Evil Cultivator Alliance, who surged like a tide, were all held back by the Yuting Guards with their updated armor and weapons!
It was clear that the Qi Sect played a huge role in this!
And after paying the debts... the remaining Spirit Stones could then be used to refine... his own Magical Artifacts.
The many Materials previously obtained from Treasure Collecting Daoist had been gathering dust in his Storage Pouch; it was time for them to see the light of day again.
As for the refining of his own Natal Magical Artifact, he already had some preliminary ideas in his mind.
These matters would be discussed in detail with Ou Yening after he finished handling his current affairs... If necessary, he could personally visit the Qi Sect's stronghold and pay respects to the Qi Sect Senior.
Casually tossing the Storage Pouch into his own Storage Pouch, creating a nesting doll effect, Shen Li looked at the next item.
With a thought, he activated the great formation, taking everything he could, such as this small object before him, resembling an inkstone.
This was a Magical Artifact... It must be said that the Evil Cultivator Alliance's stronghold was too wealthy; there were no less than several Magical Artifacts alone.
And this item before him... was called the Soul Capturing Pool.
