I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"Alright, let’s start and get on our way."

Seeing this, Shu Zhengyi smiled with satisfaction, then took the lead, heading in a certain direction.

The others followed closely behind.

Each of them used the Light Body Technique to travel.

Within a hundred miles around the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, it was relatively safe, as all kinds of powerful Demon Beasts had already been eradicated.

But beyond a hundred miles were treacherous mountain and forest terrains.

Like the inside of the Divine Wind Valley area, there were also places where Demon Beasts roamed and Foundation Establishment Great Demons wreak havoc.

Thus, even Shu Zhengyi, a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, didn’t dare to fly continuously on a sword, instead, he traveled obediently using Light Body Skill and Divine Movement Technique along with others like Zhou Changwang.

After all, in the wild, there were quite a few Foundation Establishment demon birds and beasts.

The journey was relatively smooth.

After all, the weakest among them, were practitioners like Li Daocheng, a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Practitioner.

They could all be considered strong.

By trying their best to avoid certain dangerous places and areas where Foundation Establishment demon beasts might linger, they didn’t expend energy in intensive battles.

Three days later.

An expansive mining area appeared before them.

"This is the Golden Cauldron Abandoned Mine.

It indeed covers a considerable area.

There are more than a dozen mine entrances, leading to different areas.

Ordinary cultivators entering might lose their way and may not find a way out even after three days and nights."

Crow Daoist seemed quite familiar with the area and spoke directly.

"That’s correct.

Because it belongs to a Spirit Stone Vein, it is said that during the mining period, Top-Grade Spirit Stones were produced here.

Therefore, although it’s abandoned now, occasionally some Loose Cultivators come here to seek and mine."

Body Cultivator Qin Lie also spoke, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"As I know, those who mine are mostly also practicing Body Cultivation Method simultaneously.

Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin is also..."

Beside him, Li Daocheng seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly asked.

"No, that’s not it.

However, a brother of mine was once a miner who was enslaved and fostered by an Evil Cultivator to mine and gather Spirit Stones.

It took him a great deal of effort to escape from their control, so I was just a bit emotional."

Qin Lie explained with a statement, and spoke.

Hearing this, others did not delve into it further and turned their eyes onto Shu Zhengyi.

"Elder Shu, can you now tell us where the Golden Source Sacred Fruit grows?"

At this moment, Spider Silk Fairy Chen Xiao’Er looked at Shu Zhengyi and spoke.

Shu Zhengyi didn’t answer directly but instead silently used the Eagle Eye Skill to observe the surroundings from afar.

After confirming no one was following, he said, "Follow me."

Then he took the lead, rushing toward the mining area.

The others, seeing this, hesitated slightly, then followed suit.

Although they all knew that collaborating with a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator was tantamount to asking for skin from a tiger, if the other party harbored ill intentions, they would be in grave danger.

But everyone there was of considerable strength, confident in their own capabilities, each believing they had a trump card.

Moreover, they all had laid down Blood Oath Talismans, which were mutual.

Not only were they effective for them but also for Shu Zhengyi.

If he violated it, the talisman would backlash on him too.

Soon, everyone followed Shu Zhengyi to a relatively spacious mine entrance.

"Be careful here, it has been abandoned for many years and is heavy with Yin Qi.

Some fairly powerful zombie ghosts are hidden.

Our target is the Golden Source Sacred Fruit, and at most, we need to deal with the two Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts guarding it.

Don’t complicate matters otherwise."

Shu Zhengyi said as he naturally took out his Defensive Magical Artifact, and with the movement of Foundation Establishment True Qi, a slight gleam of light appeared on the artifact.

Others certainly did not dare to slack off and had long readied their artifacts while also casting Defense Techniques.

Zhou Changwang did the same.

Holding a Top-Grade Defensive Magical Artifact shield, he had a Top-Grade Flying Sword in his hand, and of course, maintained the Defense Technique, Taiyi Golden Armor Technique.

Also, he first used the Derivation Technique to probe any nearby dangers.

This technique, while having no offensive capabilities, was extraordinarily effective at forewarning danger and had proved extremely useful in his past adventures.

Besides, there was also the exploration with Spiritual Sense.

However, this environment was greatly suppressive to a cultivator’s Spiritual Sense, as every kind of mixed breath made it possible to reach only a third of its original range.

If going deeper into the earthen walls on either side of the tunnel, which mixed with Gold Attribute Spirit Ore, it was like a wall blocking cultivators’ Spiritual Sense firmly outside.

Even with Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Sense strength, it could only penetrate about a couple of yards.

Continuing to probe was vague at best, consuming a substantial amount of Spiritual Sense.

"Indeed, the Yin Qi here is heavy.

There are quite a few ghosts and zombies, and even Rat Demons..."

Under Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Sense exploration, all kinds of dark entities hardly had a place to hide.

Often, before they could approach, various information about them was already detected.

Luckily, most of them were relatively weak.

The smarter ghosts had already avoided their path before sensing the group’s presence.

Those that didn’t manage to avoid or those ignorantly rushing towards them, like zombies or ghosts, weren’t close enough before being struck down into pieces by the cultivators.

Even Zhou Changwang made several moves, slaying several blind Rat Demons along the way.
