Demonic Sect, I'll remember this debt!

After saying this, Qi Yuan didn't care whether the two believed him or not. He directly activated the prepared teleportation talisman, and with a flash of his figure, he exited this Immortal Cave.

Anyway, he had said all that needed to be said. Whether they listened or not was their own business. Qi Yuan now just wanted to leave this cursed place quickly, lest a certain Blood Spirit notice something amiss and chase after him.

What's more, with how cautious these two guys were, they would run away themselves if they saw the situation was bad, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Now that it had lost the creation cauldron, Lai Fu's strength had fallen to roughly the level of a Half-Step Void Refining Realm.

Tu Ruoxu and Zhuang Qingyun, as Dao Children of top forces, each possessed many life-saving methods. The two of them teaming up against a Half-Step Void Refining Realm existence, even if they couldn't win, wouldn't be in too much mortal danger.

Therefore, Qi Yuan felt no psychological pressure when he left. He merely sighed to himself that he was still too kind-hearted, having saved two lives but not even getting a single thank you.

Thinking about it carefully, if he hadn't used a small trick to trick away the creation cauldron, these two, Tu Ruoxu and Zhuang Qingyun, would have encountered a terrifying Peak Void Refining Realm Blood Spirit during their exploration of the Immortal Cave.

Under the absolute suppression of power, no matter how cautious they were, it would have been useless. Not only would they get nothing, but they would also lose their lives.

If the Archaic Dao Child and the Boundless Holy Land Dao Child were to fall at the same time, the entire Cultivation World would probably be shaken.

It could be said that it was he, Qi Yuan, who single-handedly prevented this tragedy from happening, but it was destined that no one would know.

Doing good deeds without publicizing them, what else could it be but kindness?

"Phew... I'm finally out."

Returning to the Outer Void Realm, Qi Yuan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

This trip to the Immortal Cave seemed simple, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous. Taking a single wrong step could put his life at risk.

Although Lai Fu appeared dull and easily deceived on the surface, it actually had quite a bit of cunning.

The fundamental reason it fell for the trick was Han Lie's lingering prestige, which caused it to panic in immense fear, and a strong will to survive forced it to take a gamble.

Of course, it seemed it lost its gamble... Looking at the storage bracelet that was packed full, Qi Yuan immediately felt that everything was worth it.

Not to mention the mysterious creation cauldron, there were over ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones alone, and hundreds of items exuding the aura of Magic Treasures.

In the Cultivation World, Top-Grade Spirit Stones could not only be used for Cultivation but were also essential for driving various large Formation arrays and imbuing Magic Treasures with spirit. They were often priceless.

It was said that one Top-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, but in actual transactions, exchanging one Top-Grade Spirit Stone for one hundred and fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones would still leave a surplus.

As for Magic Treasures, there's no need to mention them. Although Qi Yuan had quite a few Magic Treasures on him, he was the Dao Child of Tai Xuan and naturally enjoyed the Taixuan Holy Land's unreserved cultivation.

For other Cultivators, some hadn't even seen what a low-grade Magic Treasure looked like by the time they reached the Soul Transformation Realm.

Adding in all sorts of Heaven And Earth Treasures, Medicinal Pills, Talisman, Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals... it was completely comparable to the entire accumulated wealth of a large Sect.

It could be said that even if Qi Yuan were to be expelled from the Taixuan Holy Land on the spot now, the resources within would be enough for him to Cultivate until Immortal Ascension.

"I have to say, this time I really made a fortune. No wonder people say that killing and plundering treasures is the fastest way to get rich. It's truly not false!"

"Now it's time to complete that idiotic mission. Chen Huai is still waiting there, and he's a key figure in the mission. It would be troublesome if he accidentally died..."

After a few clicks of his tongue, Qi Yuan put away his storage bracelet and, with a strange expression, summoned the System interface:

"New main quest released: You escaped this terrifying Demonic Cultivator blood sacrifice by digging a tunnel, and incidentally saved several innocent commoners, but you were also invaded by ghostly Qi, greatly damaging your strength."

"After the Demonic Cultivators who massacred the city left, you cautiously emerged from underground. Unexpectedly, disaster struck, and you encountered the Demonic Cultivator Chen Huai, who had come to clean up the aftermath."

"Facing the sudden attack from the Demonic Cultivator, you, in your poor condition, couldn't last more than a few rounds before being captured. Fortunately, the other party didn't kill you but sold you to a mine under the Demonic Sect to serve as a laborer."

"During this period, you deeply felt the cruelty and danger of the Cultivation World, realizing that without a powerful force as a backing, it would be difficult not only to obtain decent Cultivation resources but also to guarantee your life."

"After much painful deliberation, you decided to abandon the distinction between good and evil and change your current miserable situation by any means necessary..."

"Mission Objective: Within two months, get rid of your identity as a laborer and gain the recognition of the mine steward, having him recommend you to become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demonic Sect."

"Mission Difficulty: Three stars (Normal)"

"Mission Reward: Two thousand Counterattack Points, top-tier Core Formation stage Cultivation Technique 'Nine Revolutions Golden Core Art', System reward of personal space expanded to one thousand cubic meters, remote teleportation function enabled."

"Please note, this mission cannot be abandoned..."

Although he already knew the content of the mission, Qi Yuan's face was still quite displeased, and his good mood instantly vanished.

Is there something wrong with this?!?

It took me a lot of effort to get out of the shadow of being a Utility Disciple, and now I'm regressing, reduced to a mine laborer. Damn it, that's even worse than a Utility Disciple!

Being a mine laborer is one thing, but what the hell is an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demonic Sect?

I, This person Qi, a proper Dao Child of Tai Xuan, an upright and ambitious young man, am I abandoning a great Dao path to join the Demonic Path?

I've figured it out, this dog system just can't stand the Host enjoying some peace and quiet. It specifically tries to cause trouble for people by any means necessary. It's truly immoral!

Trash System, bah!

After a long fit of impotent rage, Qi Yuan forcibly suppressed the urge to kill, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly disappeared from the spot... A long while later.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of white light illuminated, revealing two extremely disheveled figures. They were none other than Tu Ruoxu and Zhuang Qingyun, who had previously been stranded in the Immortal Cave.

At this moment, both of them had pale faces and dispirited auras, and their Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Shields were in tatters, clearly having just experienced an earth-shattering fierce battle.

"Senior Brother Tu."

Zhuang Qingyun looked back at the entrance of the Immortal Cave with lingering fear, panting as he said, "It seems Fellow Daoist Qi's words were correct. There really is a terrifying existence in there."

"Cough cough..."

Tu Ruoxu coughed twice lightly, barely managing to stand upright, and spoke with a bewildered tone:

"That's not right! That Grand Elder in our Wangu Holy Land, who is skilled in the Dao of Space, personally asserted that this Immortal Cave could at most accommodate three external Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators simultaneously."

"Yet now, a Half-Step Void Refining Realm Demonic Cultivator suddenly appeared. Could it be that his old self miscalculated?"

"Also, when I reported my name just now, that Demonic Cultivator didn't believe I was Tu Ruoxu at all, and later even attacked us like a madman. Could it be that he has a grudge against the Wangu Holy Land?"

"What should we do now?" Zhuang Qingyun said, biting his teeth with some unwillingness. "Are we just going to watch as the Opportunity inside is snatched away by evil Demonic Paths?"

Tu Ruoxu sighed softly, "At present, that's all we can do. With our combined strength, we are powerless to stop the other party. Even with Fellow Daoist Qi, it would be useless."

"This place is far from the inner realms. Even if we dispatch personnel from the Holy Land now, it would be too late."

"This time, I was ill-prepared and implicated you and Fellow Daoist Qi in returning empty-handed, alas..."

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingyun quickly shook his head and said solemnly:

"Senior Brother Tu, please don't say that. Fortunately, you were here to strategize this time. If we hadn't listened to you and set up ten layers of defensive Formations outside the camp, we would have been severely injured if not dead."

As he spoke, a fierce killing intent suddenly appeared on his face, and he said bitterly, "Demonic Sect, I'll remember this debt!"
