Thanks to nature for its gifts

Hum— The teleportation activated. Qi Yuan felt a wave of dizziness in his consciousness. When he regained his vision, he found that the environment before him had changed drastically; he was already in his Immortal Cave on Yuhua Peak.

Looking at the familiar furnishings around him, his mind immediately relaxed, and he muttered to himself:

"There is about a three-breath preparation time before teleportation. During this process, one cannot perform any actions, otherwise, the teleportation process will automatically interrupt."

"It seems that using it to escape during battle is not feasible. For now, it can only be used for teleportation from safe locations."

"However, the cost of teleportation is not high. A journey of twenty to thirty million li consumed over five hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, which is about the same cost as using a super-long-distance Teleportation Array once."

"However, there are not many super-long-distance Teleportation Arrays in the entire Cultivation World. The advantage of the System's teleportation function is that one can teleport anytime and anywhere, and there are also free anchor points..."

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's heart stirred, and he unhesitatingly set the first anchor point at his Immortal Cave on Yuhua Peak.

The next moment.

Swish!

A silvery-white beam of light poured down, landing on the location where the anchor point was placed, then quickly retracted until it completely disappeared.

"Ding! New teleportation anchor point set. The Host can teleport back to this location at any time, unlimited times, permanently free."

After setting the anchor point, a sudden feeling of peace arose in Qi Yuan's heart.

No matter how long he drifted outside, this place was his home and also his final retreat; it was completely worth placing a teleportation anchor point here.

"That's about it."

After doing this, Qi Yuan let out a soft breath. Just as he was about to teleport back to the Demon Sect, a light sound of footsteps came from not far away.

"Qi... Daozi, are you back?"

Immediately after, a gentle and pleasant female voice rang in his ears, filled with deep surprise.

Qi Yuan turned his head to look. What came into view was a beautiful woman dressed in a pale yellow dress.

Seeing the person who had arrived, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, "I just returned from outside. I thought you were still in seclusion, so I didn't go over to disturb you."

As he spoke, he looked her up and down a few times and said happily:

"Senior Sister, congratulations on your successful Core Formation. Your path of the heavenly dao will be even smoother from now on."

Judging from the fluctuations of Qi on Bai Xirou, she had condensed a Top-Grade Golden Core, which was entirely at the level of a top Genius.

As for the path of the heavenly dao, Qi Yuan himself hadn't completely figured it out. Even with the System's support, he had no certainty of success, so there was no reason to demand that Bai Xirou do it either. As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Once he truly achieved Immortal Ascension, he could become the Immortal Fate for his own woman. Wouldn't that be a hundred times easier than the path of the heavenly dao?

Hearing his address, Bai Xirou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said with a hint of shyness:

"Don't call me Senior Sister in the future; it sounds strange. Just call me by my name, or call me Junior Sister Bai."

Under Qi Yuan's arrangement, Bai Xirou was now a True Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land. To avoid causing trouble for Qi Yuan, she had even specially memorized the sect rules until she knew them by heart.

In a top Righteous Path faction like the Taixuan Holy Land, forms of address were a very serious matter, and a dignified Daozi, in particular, could not address fellow Disciples haphazardly.

"No problem."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately nodded readily and then said with a smile:

"Junior Sister Bai, you have just had your Breakthrough, and your Foundation is not very stable. Why don't you let me help you?"

Bai Xirou was stunned for a moment, then asked with some panic, "Are... are you up to some bad idea again?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Qi Yuan shook his head and said very seriously, "Recently, I have gained some insights into the Yin Yang Transformation Scripture, and we can just happen to explore it together..."

"What?"

Before Bai Xirou could react, she was pulled into someone's arms...

Meanwhile.

Demon Sect Outer Sect.

Blood Refining Peak.

Over a hundred Demon Cultivators had surrounded the Immortal Cave of Courtyard No. 1 of Class A.

Everyone was eager to try, waving the weapons and Magical Artifacts in their hands. Their eyes were filled with fierce Killing Intent, wishing they could rush in immediately to tear the person inside into a thousand pieces, so as to perform well in front of Senior Brother Wu.

"Listen, you person inside. Get out here now and kowtow to admit your mistake, otherwise, we will ensure you die without a burial place."

"You ignorant thing, is this a place you can live in? You are truly tired of living!"

"Get out and surrender quickly. If you keep dawdling, I will extract your soul myself later without needing Senior Brother Wu to make a move!"

"Senior Brother Wu, please give the order. The brothers will rush in immediately to grab the person and deal with them properly..."

Amidst the chatter of the group, Wu Renjie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction of the small courtyard with a cold expression. He asked in a chilling voice:

"What do you think about this matter? Does it look like the work of that guy Chi Yinghu?"

The Subordinate beside him lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Although Chi Yinghu has always been at odds with us, he still has a brain. Even if he wanted to test us, he wouldn't use such a crude trick."

"If it really is his doing, unless he has made up his mind to completely break with us, there is no way to explain what is happening now."

"This Subordinate believes that it is highly likely a greenhorn who knows nothing accidentally found the Class A Immortal Cave, thought no one lived there, and moved in, or was tricked into going there."

"In short, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, we must make him pay a miserable price, so as to establish our prestige and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, deterring those with ulterior motives!"

Hearing this, Wu Renjie nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and said:

"Do you think it's possible that Chi Yinghu took advantage of the agreement between both parties to set a trap in the Courtyard No. 1 of Class A, waiting for us to jump in so he can take us down in one fell swoop?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the Restriction outside the courtyard, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"This..."

Hearing this, the Subordinate immediately hesitated, and finally could only say:

"Senior Brother Wu's reminder is correct. For the sake of safety, let's not act rashly first; let's wait for Chi Yinghu's people to come over."

Swish, swish, swish!

Soon, over a hundred streaks of Escape light came rushing from the distance. The arrivals were all wearing the attire of Outer Sect Disciples, aggressive and arrogant. The bald, burly man leading them was none other than the other overlord of Blood Refining Peak, Chi Yinghu.

After the two sides met, the atmosphere in the scene immediately became tense and ready to erupt.

Seeing this formation, Wu Renjie's expression immediately turned ugly, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Chi Yinghu, why did you bring so many people here? Do you want to fight?"

Chi Yinghu smiled faintly, "Wu, you didn't bring fewer people either."

"Now that the Immortal Cave of Courtyard No. 1 of Class A has been occupied by someone, what do you suggest we do?"

A sharp light flashed in Wu Renjie's eyes, and he slowly said:

"Of course, it is to drag the person inside out, cut them into a thousand pieces, skin them, and break their bones to serve as a warning to others!"

"Good!"

Chi Yinghu laughed, "Since that's the case, why waste words? Let both our sides send a team of people to get the guy inside out first."

"Fine."

Wu Renjie sneered and agreed without hesitation, "That is exactly what should be done. I want to see what kind of lunatic came from where, not wanting their life for the sake of a place to live."

After the two sides reached a tacit understanding, each dispatched ten experts of the Foundation Establishment Realm, forcing their way toward the small courtyard not far away.

The worst of these Disciples were at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If they really fought, even an ordinary Cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage would not be able to get the better of them.

According to the rules of the Baleful Yin Sect, after an Outer Sect Disciple achieves Core Formation, as long as it is not a Mixed Core, they can immediately obtain the status of an Inner Sect Disciple. Some individuals with powerful talent can even be directly promoted to True Disciple after passing an assessment.

Therefore, on the Blood Refining Peak, except for the Outer Sect Elder responsible for disciplining these Disciples, the cultivation of all Disciples does not exceed the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Currently, the Outer Sect Elder of the Blood Refining Peak is in seclusion for Infant Formation and has not appeared for nearly a year. The entire Blood Refining Peak has completely become a lawless land.

Boom!

The twenty Demon Cultivators easily broke the Foundation Establishment level Restriction outside the courtyard, then grinning, they filed in.

Following that, those who entered the main hall of the small courtyard were like fish sinking into the sea. Inside the courtyard, it remained silent, calm to the point of being terrifying.

Soon, half an incense stick of time passed, but there was still no movement.

"What's going on?"

"Damn it, why aren't those brats making a sound?"

Outside the courtyard, everyone was stunned, their expressions filled with deep confusion.

Inside the house.

The ningyuan sword was trembling slightly, so excited it was almost crying:

"Wuwuwu—finally tasted the flavor of fresh blood. Thanks to Nature's Gift."
