Seeking Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: From a Low-Ranking Corpse to an Eternal Demon God

Chapter 156 The So-Called Tribulation Cultivator, Yuan Xiudao

Outside Jubao Fang Market.

Inside an unnamed low peak.

Three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators sat cross-legged in the cold cave, a cluster of dim yellow spiritual fire burning above their heads.

It's been a year.

"We've been waiting outside for a year, and that fox demon has been in seclusion in that cave for a whole year?"

"How could that fox demon be so rich?"

"That yellow fox might have some background, with so many spirit stones on it. Just as you said before, that fox also has a Core Formation spirit item on it."

"Should the three of us continue waiting here?"

"If he remains in seclusion, are we just going to sit here and wait?"

"Instead of wasting time, we might as well rob a few early Foundation Establishment cultivators who come here. At least we can get some spirit stones and spiritual items."

"Now, due to the ruins of Fallen Immortal Valley, many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment families have traveled thousands of miles to Jubao Market."

"This is a golden opportunity for us cultivators to make a fortune!"

"Several of the brothers from the Fox Society have disguised themselves as cultivators from the surrounding area, and their business is getting bigger and bigger."

"Isn't it a bit too extreme for us to just wait and wait for that yellow fox?"

At this moment, inside the mountain, a black wolf demon with a wolf's head and a human body, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, and a hint of impatience flashed in them.

This wait lasted for more than a year.

It was far from the three months he had expected. If it weren't for the information about a potential Core Formation spiritual object keeping him in suspense, he would have run away long ago.

"Brother Wolf, you are absolutely right."

"I've been waiting so long my hair has grown long."

"That yellow-haired fox is like this..."

At this moment, another gray-haired, bald old fox was also getting impatient. Even though the other party had so many spiritual items, they couldn't do anything about him just staying cooped up in the market.

"etc."

"There's movement. That yellow-haired fox has come out of seclusion, and it seems to have come directly from its cave in the market town towards the outside of the market town."

"Heaven is helping me!"

"Gentlemen, prepare to make your move."

At this moment, the red-haired fox in the middle suddenly sensed something, its eyes lit up, and it took out a communication jade slip from its storage bag.

A faint spiritual light was emanating from the jade slip.

"That fox demon in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, before joining the Fox Guild, was carrying treasures. Just the year he spent in seclusion in that market was enough to cost him a considerable amount of spirit stones."

"Try to capture that fox in the early stages of Foundation Establishment alive."

"If we can subdue it, we can sell it for a considerable price."

At this moment, the red-haired fox said excitedly.

Upon seeing this, the bald, gray-haired old fox stopped speaking abruptly, and a brilliant light immediately appeared in his eyes. This was a case of hard work paying off!

Then, the leading red fox transformed into a dim red demonic cloud and flew out of the cave in the mountain. The wolf and fox behind it exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed.

All three of them were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and each had limited potential.

If they want to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage, they will not make any progress in their entire lives by simply meditating and cultivating. Their own bloodline has already exhausted all their talents to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Only by consuming special rare and precious medicinal herbs, as well as high-quality second-tier or higher breakthrough pills, can they loosen the barrier of their mid-stage Foundation Establishment perfection realm.

However, everything that could help them break through required a considerable amount of spirit stones, so the three demons hit it off and started this business of traversing cultivation.

By bribing some market vendors with the help of the red-haired fox, they waited outside the market for early Foundation Establishment cultivators who had escaped from within, specifically targeting seemingly young demon or human cultivators.

Take your time to select your target.

at this time.

As Lin Ligang emerged from the market, his Core Formation stage divine sense had already detected that the faint magical power mark on the hem of his robe was now emitting a weak fluctuation of magical power.

If one's cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, then one would definitely not be able to perceive it.

However, his spiritual cultivation is comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

He knew about it when the red fox left its mark, but since someone was rushing to deliver spiritual items, spirit stones, and bloodline records, he had no intention of erasing the bait mark.

"really…"

"It's that red-haired fox in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

now.

Lin Ligang had flown out of the market town for only a few miles, and after leaping over a mountain, he sensed three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators who had entered his perception range more than thirty miles away.

One was old and frail, and the other two were Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators of similar bloodline. It seemed that they didn't have much to offer.

better than nothing!

Lin Li continued to disguise himself as a fox demon at the early Foundation Establishment stage. He rode a small willow-leaf flying boat, streaking across the sky like a streak of cyan light, heading straight towards the direction from which the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the red-haired fox, had come.

If they keep flying like this, they'll crash into each other right away.

Lin Li then cast a seemingly flawed concealment spell on himself, and his escape speed was extremely fast.

Once you get close...

Lin Li even slowed down a little.

"Everyone, you're too slow."

Lin Li, looking completely unconcerned, spoke as he looked at the three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators who flew close by with smiles on their faces.

"Um?"

The three Foundation Establishment demon cultivators in front of him, who hadn't yet spoken, were completely dumbfounded when they saw this early Foundation Establishment stage yellow-haired fox say such a thing.

boom!!

In the blink of an eye, a silver ray of light shot out from Lin Li's body, and an astonishing pressure from the Core Formation stage swept around.

It enveloped the three red-haired foxes in front of him.

"Core Formation!!"

"How is this possible!"

The red-haired fox, the bald gray-haired fox, and the wolf demon all had expressions of terror on their faces.

The bald old fox and the wolf demon immediately looked at the red-haired fox, thinking, "What a treacherous demon!"

This isn't some Foundation Establishment stage fox demon at all; this is a Core Formation stage fox demon! What right do they have to come and rob a Core Formation stage fox demon?

Isn't this just rushing to their deaths?

"senior!!"

"We greet you, senior!"

"We were filled with admiration upon seeing you, senior, and couldn't help but come forward to offer our assistance..."

The red-haired fox hurriedly bowed, his tone extremely respectful, not daring to make any mistakes. This fox was truly one of the most cautious people in the world.

You, a demon cultivator at the Core Formation stage, have managed to conceal your cultivation level as reaching the early Foundation Establishment stage—that's truly...

"You've already left a mark on me on our very first meeting. Is it admiration?"

Lin Li looked at the three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators in front of him, said no more, raised his hand and formed a hand seal. His Core Formation stage Devouring Spirit power condensed into three silver chains, binding the three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators and firmly sealing their cultivation.

This rendered them completely immobile.

Seeing this, the red fox's last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

Then, as usual, Lin Li extracted three streams of spiritual energy from the three demons and refined them.

[Inclusion successful]

[Second-tier, mid-range bloodline, Crimson-tailed Fire Fox!]

[Inclusion successful]

...

In the blink of an eye, three Foundation Establishment stage figures appeared on the Reincarnation Disc, landing in the corner of the disc. Even a small piece of meat is still meat!

The more bloodlines one can acquire, the better it will be for the foundation of one's next life.

and.

If he could join Xuandu Cave by using his false identity as the reincarnation of a righteous Taoist disciple, the number of bloodline projections he could collect would definitely be much higher than it is now.

Immediately, just as Lin Li was about to collect the soul blood of these three demons and make them his three demon cultivator servants...

Suddenly, Lin Li seemed to sense something. A surge of Core Formation stage magic power rushed towards him from the location of Jubao Market at an extremely fast speed.

Bang bang bang!

The next moment, Lin Li frowned slightly, realizing that it was probably because he had used a Core Formation stage technique that had alerted the Core Formation stage cultivators in Jubao Market to come and investigate.

We must leave this place as soon as possible.

With three muffled thuds, the three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators who were bound and restrained by the Devouring Spirit Magic immediately exploded, turning into three wisps of blood mist drifting in the air.

Lin Li controlled the power of devouring spirits to envelop his body, and in the next moment he transformed into an astonishing silver streak of light, flying towards the sky and disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

A few breaths later.

A deep purple sword aura rushed from the direction of Jubao Market, like a bolt of purple lightning, and flew to the spot where Lin Li had just cast the spell.

Amidst the lightning, a gaunt old man dressed in a deep purple robe appeared. He stood on a purple crystal flying sword, and as he looked around, his hands formed hand seals to deduce the situation.

At the same time, the divine sense of the early stage of Core Formation covered the surroundings and began to capture traces of spiritual energy.

"Mid-stage Core Formation?"

"No, it's more like the late stage of Core Formation!"

"The aura is so unfamiliar, but that Core Formation power is pure and doesn't seem like a divine ability used by the demon race at all."

The thin old man in the deep purple robe still had a look of doubt in his eyes.

The other party is definitely not a Core Formation stage cultivator from Yunzhou or Lingzhou.

If you don't know the details, it's best not to chase after them.

"Make a note of this matter and report it when Master arrives."

Fortunately, they didn't make their move inside the market, but outside.

The thin, purple-robed old man glanced at the three wisps of blood mist that were gradually dissipating around him. They were just three Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators. Nowadays, several new Foundation Establishment stage cultivators join this Treasure Market every day.

The current scale of Jubao Market can only be expanded step by step outwards.

Later.

If his master were to return and see how meticulously he had managed the market here, he would consider all his efforts worthwhile, as long as he could receive a word of praise from his master.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a day has passed.

With the help of his Core Formation stage Devouring Spirit power, Lin Li traveled for half a day.

Furthermore, while fleeing in flight, it constantly changed its route.

Fighting against a Core Formation stage cultivator is still not a very safe option.

The methods are too simplistic.

Now that they've shaken off the Core Formation cultivators, they can continue towards the Three Immortal Mountains, which are also within Yunzhou's territory, albeit at the border.

Subsequently, Lin Li from the clouds suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, took out a second-tier low-grade flying boat, and controlled the flying boat to move forward according to the markings on the Yunzhou map.

This route actually passes through Crimson Flame Peak, where the Jia family immortal clan resides.

Yuan Xiudao!

Lin Li's heart stirred slightly. Since it was on the way, perhaps he could pay a visit. So many years had passed.

I first encountered them at the gate of the Crimson Feather Chicken Demon's mountain.

Now that such a huge change has occurred in Jubao Market in Lingzhou, the number of foreign cultivators in the entire Yunzhou region is increasing every day.

As a demon cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, Yuan Xiudao must be under considerable pressure sitting in charge of the Crimson Flame Peak of the Jia family immortal clan.

After having a goal.

Lin Li headed straight for Crimson Flame Peak without any attempt to conceal his intentions. According to the information he had gathered from the Treasure Market, Crimson Flame Peak had a certain reputation.

The Jia family of immortals from Crimson Flame Peak also has shops in the Treasure Market.

The magical artifacts and elixirs sold there are about 50% cheaper than those in other shops, and the potency of the elixirs is not much different.

This also made the items in the Jia family's shop attract more and more attention from cultivators, since life in the market was quite difficult for ordinary cultivators.

It's already quite difficult to save even a little bit.

Two days later.

Outside Crimson Flame Peak.

Lin Li hovered outside the formation of Crimson Flame Peak aboard his willow-leaf flying boat. After releasing his Core Formation stage divine sense, he easily penetrated the formation barrier in front of him and entered it.

Meanwhile, Lin Li used his Devouring Spirit power to conceal himself.

They only wanted to explore the area; if everything went smoothly at Crimson Flame Peak, there was no need to disturb Yuan Xiudao.

Now, the most important thing is for me to become a disciple of Xuandu Cave.

These days, it's just something I happen to visit while I'm passing by.

"Um?"

"What happened?"

At this moment, when the Linli Core Formation Divine Senses landed in the courtyard within a verdant bamboo forest amidst the fiery red mountains.

Using his divine sense, he sensed Yuan Xiudao lying there. However, it seemed that Yuan Xiudao had depleted his essence while fighting with someone, and there was still an aura of Gu worm poison lingering on his body, with wisps of black smoke swirling around him.

"Cough cough cough!"

Yuan Xiudao's cough echoed in the room in the courtyard.

Inside the room were four elderly men with white hair, all at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Ancestor."

"We've already discussed it; at worst, we'll just give the Jia family's shop to them."

"That person has connections with Core Formation stage cultivators in the market. We, a small and insignificant family, have no way to cause any trouble."

"Those people are really too insidious."

"They openly target our shops, and now they're plotting against you, patriarch, behind the scenes!"

"Our Jia family immortal clan will definitely not let that guy get away with this so easily."

"When a child in the clan is enrolled in a major sect, we will definitely go and find that person to get revenge."

Among the people gathered inside the room, a thin old man with silver hair spoke with indignation.
