The winding and twisting mountain ranges looked like green waves, undulating and enveloping the battlefield. Within the area of nearly a hundred miles, it had already been annihilated in the battle between the two top experts, leaving behind only debris and treasures. Many demon beasts and human cultivators left no corpses, only demon beasts of seventh rank and above could leave behind their inner core, and cultivators above the level of Golden Core could leave behind their bones. Thus, among the surrounding mountains, it was a dead land. Luo Jianqing had actually guessed early on that this should be a very mysterious place in the Wanshou Mountain. Because the Wanshou Mountain did not allow demon beasts of eighth rank or above to enter, but there was already a dead eight-rank demon beast here, and even a ninth-rank Golden Yang Longevity Dragon. After waking up, Luo Jianqing quickly hid behind a pile of sand and quietly watched the distant battle. The ninth-rank Golden Yang Longevity Dragon was equivalent to a human cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing period, with formidable strength. Although Luo Jianqing had not seen any ninth-grade elixirs before, judging from its appearance of being evenly matched with Golden Yang Longevity Dragon, its strength was probably at the level of the Tribulation Crossing period. Only to see that Golden Yang Longevity Dragon first fought against the elixir in human form, but soon it transformed into its original form. It was a golden long dragon with two long horns resembling dragon horns on its forehead, with four claws and every scale on its body shining with a cold light under the scorching sun, like the brilliant sun. It swung its long tail, immediately stirring up a whirlwind and rushing towards the elixir. The elixir, however, remained calm. It put down its guqin, suspended it in front of itself, and lightly plucked the strings. With a slight flick of its fingers, a terrible sound wave quickly pierced through and collided with the whirlwind, creating a shocking explosion. The energy wave impacted Luo Jianqing, even though he was more than 20 miles away, making his whole body shiver. Luo Jianqing immediately took out the bamboo umbrella and held it over his head. With the protection of the green bamboo umbrella, Luo Jianqing gradually breathed a sigh of relief and began to watch the earth-shattering battle carefully. The golden dragon was as fast as lightning, sometimes darting up into the clouds, sometimes circling and surrounding its opponent. Its movements could generate a fierce wind that could cut through anything, constantly attacking. In contrast, the scholar in light-colored robes sat quietly in place, playing the zither with his head bowed. His zither looked very simple, and his playing posture was quite casual, but the music echoed throughout the sky, causing the clouds to freeze and the strong winds to be blocked. The melody was low and gentle, repeatedly playing several tunes, but the realm mixed in the music made Luo Jianqing gradually feel a little fascinated. He seemed to think of the scene a few years ago when Xuan Lingzi played the Yuxiao Qin for him. At that time, Xuan Lingzi’s music also contained some wonderful realms. Although the zither music of this pill-making scholar was much inferior to Xuan Lingzi’s, it also made Luo Jianqing gradually hear a kind of elusive realm. It was a kind of realm that seemed to see the vicissitudes of the world. When the zither music fell, it was like a woman’s low cry, and when the zither music rose again, it was like a silent wail. This was a lament. With this lament, the pill-maker and the demon beast fought fiercely, causing the sky to crack and the earth to shake. When they finally changed the battlefield and went to the distant sky, Luo Jianqing immediately flew into the battlefield and began to search. His movements were naturally much faster than Li Xiuchen’s. The first thing he took was the inner core from the body of the eighth-level demon beast, and then he took the sky-level broken sword. After securing these two items, Luo Jianqing gradually continued to search without being careless. Human-made ground-level magic treasure? Take it! The bones of the seventh-level demon beast? Take it! As long as it was a valuable treasure, not even a speck of dust was left behind, everything was taken away! After a cup of tea, the entire battlefield was stripped bare, except for some worthless rocks and burnt tree branches, everything else was put into Luo Jianqing’s storage ring. Looking at this desolate scene, Luo Jianqing let out a sigh. He first cremated the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator and the three Golden Core cultivators who died in battle, took their ashes, and planned to find a place to erect a nameless tombstone for them after leaving. Next, dealing with the unfamiliar monster corpses was much simpler for Luo Jianqing. With a wave of his sleeve, everything was burned! After finishing all of this, Luo Jianqing began to search around for a while. It took him a full quarter of an hour to find the unconscious Li Xiuchen under a boulder. Seeing Li Xiuchen, Luo Jianqing’s mouth twitched, and he was completely convinced of the Heavenly Dao’s extreme bias towards this person who was sent to the far north. He and Li Xiuchen were both blown over by a sudden gust of wind, he landed on the ground casually, fortunately waking up early, otherwise he might have been killed directly by the battle between the monster and the elixirs. But what about Li Xiuchen? He was lying under a thousand-year-old Zhongqi stone, sound asleep! Zhongqi stone is a top-quality material for refining tools, belonging to the sixth-grade spiritual stone. Zhongqi stone has two characteristics: the first is that it is quite hard and has extremely high defense, almost like a turtle shell; the second is that it is very hidden, even a master refiner may overlook it and not find it because this kind of spiritual stone, apart from being very hard, has no other special features and is so ordinary that people forget it at first glance. If it weren’t for the Zhongqi stone protecting Li Xiuchen and preventing him from being killed by the aftermath of the top-level battle, Luo Jianqing would not have been able to find it. Looking at such a large piece of Zhongqi stone, Luo Jianqing slowly curved his eyes into a smile. “This stone should be just right for the Sixth Junior Brother to refine tools.” Li Xiuchen, who was still sleeping soundly, turned over and seemed to agree with this statement. After all, this stone was able to temporarily save Li Xiuchen’s life, so Luo Jianqing did not immediately take it away. He hid not far away and kept watching Li Xiuchen. The battle in the sky was no longer visible to Luo Jianqing, but he remained very patient because he knew that without Li Xiuchen, he would definitely not be able to find that pill. Time passed bit by bit, and Luo Jianqing was tense all over, not daring to relax in the slightest. The hot sun gradually set in the west, and the moon rose; the crescent moon hung down from the west, and the sun was shining in the sky. When the sun showed signs of setting again, Li Xiuchen finally woke up. He was first stunned, then suddenly ecstatic, and quickly ran out of the protection range of the Zhongqi stone, turning around to look at the battlefield around him, and then… was dumbfounded. “What the f***?! What’s going on? Was this burned by someone? Why is even the soil charred?!!!” Looking at this barren land, Li Xiuchen was completely stunned. He was stupid for a moment, and then immediately went to search. As expected, just like the visible piece of land, there was not even a single hair, let alone any treasures! Li Xiuchen gritted his teeth in despair: “What’s going on? Could it be that… I fainted for too long, and that bastard and that pill destroyed the battlefield again, destroying everything?!” Upon hearing this, Luo Jianqing couldn’t help but laugh. Not bad, that’s why he destroyed the battlefield. He had already known that Li Xiuchen seemed to be aware of the contents of “Seeking Immortality”, so when Li Xiuchen woke up, he would definitely go and look for the so-called treasure. If he couldn’t find it, there had to be a reason, right? Li Xiuchen must have understood that something was amiss, which was very disadvantageous for Luo Jianqing to use him as a human treasure hunter. So, let’s just destroy this place. Erase all evidence, and you won’t be able to find anything no matter how you guess! Luo Jianqing didn’t know how Li Xiuchen came up with such a reason, but listening to Li Xiuchen’s explanation, he felt it was very reasonable. After all, the book said that Li Xiuchen had joined the sect of the Xuan Lingzi and had received his careful teaching. Although he was only at the ninth level of Qi refining, he was much stronger than he is now. In his previous life at this time, Luo Jianqing knew that his junior brother had the ability to kill a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, far beyond what he was capable of now. And perhaps due to staying on the Jade Cloud Peak for a long time, Li Xiuchen in his previous life was a little more mature than he is now, at least with a little bit of the calmness and composure of the Xuan Lingzi. In contrast, Li Xiuchen’s current strength made it highly likely that he would remain unconscious for a long time, and the treasures might have been affected by the great battle. Li Xiuchen sighed in grief, “What the hell is this!” As soon as he finished speaking, golden light and silver light shimmered in the sky, a rapid sound of a qin suddenly sounded, and the next moment, a terrifying spiritual power and a very heavy aroma of spiritual medicine suddenly diffused out. Seeing this, Li Xiuchen was stunned, and a flash of brilliance passed through his eyes. Then he quickly hid under the Zhongqi Stone from earlier. Meanwhile, Luo Jianqing not far away held his breath and stared at the situation in the battlefield. Bang! The first pill fell heavily to the ground, cracking it upon impact. Soon after, the thick and clumsy dragon also fell to the ground, causing a seismic shake that made Luo Jianqing’s mind unsteady. However, not far away, Li Xiuchen remained excitedly watching under the protection of Zhong Qishi. After the dragon landed, it transformed into a bald and muscular man. His face was full of crosswise flesh and was vulgar and crude. At this moment, his clothes were already soaked with blood, but he still excitedly moved forward because he knew that the pill was in dire straits, and now was the perfect opportunity to take it! On the ground, the shallow-clothed scholar wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, removing the green pill liquid. The dragon had already flown in front of him, but the scholar seemed not to have heard and simply stood up calmly, carefully brushing the dust off his sleeve. When he made this movement, the dragon did not attack. After a moment, the dragon spoke, “Qing Jun, we have known each other for a hundred years, and fought for a hundred years. However, I want to break through the earth tier and become a demon sovereign. I must eat you to have a chance of survival.” The scholar raised his head to look at him and said, “Heaven’s will is constant. Either you die, or I perish. Golden Yang Longevity Dragon, there is no need to say more. There will inevitably be a result between us today. As a pill, my outcome has already been predetermined, but the person I am waiting for is not you, so forgive me for not being able to help you advance.” The bald and muscular man laughed loudly and said, “Then let’s fight!” The shallow-clothed scholar put away his ancient qin and said, “Let’s fight!” As soon as the words fell, the spiritual power on both sides surged. A virtual Golden Dragon appeared behind the bald and muscular man, and a very ethereal green flower appeared on the scholar’s head. After these two phantom images appeared, the violent wind stopped. Luo Jianqing watched this scene closely but was disappointed that the flower was too weak to show its true appearance. The Golden Yang Longevity dragon launched the first attack, and the pill suddenly forced the green flower forward. The two made a deafening sound in the air, but the pill was already weakened and quickly fell behind. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the scholar whispered, “The person I am waiting for is not you,” and then the green flower suddenly ignited with golden flames. “You actually used the Dan Fire!” Bang! The illusion of Golden Yang Longevity Dragon instantly dissipated, and the bald strong man spewed blood from his mouth and flew backwards. On the other side, the scholar’s face was as pale as gold paper, and the golden flames were burning on his body. However, after a while, they suddenly turned into a small pill and flew towards the east. Seeing this, Li Xiuchen widened his eyes in excitement and hurriedly chased after it. After Li Xiuchen left, Luo Jianqing put the huge Zhongqi stone into his storage ring, then flew up and followed Li Xiuchen. Even though Li Xiuchen reacted quickly, he couldn’t catch up with the speed at which the pill flew away. After a while, the pill disappeared from Li Xiuchen’s sight, but he continued to walk forward with Luo Jianqing following behind. The two of them walked like this for half an hour. Li Xiuchen couldn’t help but look around disappointedly, but in the end, he had no choice but to keep moving forward. After another half hour, as Li Xiuchen walked over a hill, he suddenly stepped on something hard. He was overjoyed and quickly bent down to clean up the dirt under his feet. In an instant, a green light flashed and filled the entire hillside. “I found it… ah!” Luo Jianqing calmly walked out from behind a large rock not far away and kicked Li Xiuchen, who had been knocked unconscious by him, aside, allowing him to roll down the hill. However, before Luo Jianqing could lower his head to take out the pill, he heard thunder rolling in the sky. After a while, lightning bolts struck directly around Luo Jianqing. If Luo Jianqing took one step to the left, the lightning would strike to his right; if he took one step forward, the lightning would strike behind him. It seemed as if the heavens were blind and could never strike Luo Jianqing, as if they couldn’t locate his position. Luo Jianqing had already guessed this, but after seeing the situation firsthand, he couldn’t help but feel emotional. “The Nine Seizing Heavens Record has actually reached such a level that it can truly allow me to exist outside the will of heaven…”
