I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

Chapter 202: Ominous Immortal Ascension Assembly

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As one of the three devilish sects, the Qingyun Sect could have its own stronghold in the Imperial capital.

Xueyang Sect was no exception.

When Lu Yuan assigned tasks to the Paper Men, he focused on the strongholds of various sects and cultivator organizations.

It was to gather first-hand information.

As the saying goes, by knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one would never be defeated in a hundred battles.

If Lu Yuan could get some secret information in advance, he could also make preparations in advance and would not be caught off guard.

The two Paper Men arrived at the gate of the Xueyang Sect stronghold and began to search for a way to enter.

“Senior Brother Zhuang, why are you back?”

“The mission is completed. Why wouldn’t I come back?” Zhuang Yangbing replied impatiently.

However, the other party’s gaze was very strange.

It was as if they felt that he should not have returned at this time.

Zhuang Yangbing noticed the change in their eyes and immediately became alert.

Could it be that there was something in the stronghold that he should not know of?

Zhuang Yangbing made up his mind as soon as he thought of that.

He looked at the two disciples at the door and began to complain about the Xueyang Sect elder who had arranged for him to go out. “Do you think Elder Chen has something against me? Now that the Path to Immortality Ascension is imminent, he had me leave the Imperial capital to help the sect collect natural treasures. 1 think he’s deliberately making things difficult for me.”

Hearing Zhuang Yangbing’s words, the two disciples looked at each other and immediately said, “Senior Brother Zhuang, be careful with your words. Elder Chen is in the courtyard now. That’s why we didn’t let you go in directly. After all, if you were to meet Elder Chen now, you would inevitably be made difficult by the other party.”

Zhuang Yangbing looked at the disciple who was comforting him and pretended to be indignant. “Ha, didn’t Elder Chen only cultivate for 100 years more than me? A few hundred years old and he’s only at the fourth transformation of the completion level. 1 really don’t know what qualifications such a person has to be an elder of Xueyang Sect.”

He continued, “Looks like I came back at a really bad time. I won’t go in. Junior brothers, I’m going to listen to some music in the city. After Elder Chen leaves, please come and inform me.”

When they heard Zhuang Yangbing was leaving, one of them relaxed. Then, he looked at Zhuang Yangbing and smiled. “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Zhuang. Go and relax. When Elder Chen leaves, we will inform you.”

“Thank you, junior brothers.” Zhuang Yangbing then left the Xueyang Sect stronghold. However, he was only pretending to leave.

When he was far away from the door, Zhuang Yangbing caught a little mouse that was rummaging through the trash for food.

Looking at the squeaking mouse in his hand, Zhuang Yangbing let a drop of blood flow from his fingertip into the mouse’s body.

Then, the little mouse’s expression quickly became dull.

It was obvious that it had become Zhuang Yangbing’s puppet.

Zhuang Yangbing put the little mouse down and controlled it to move toward the stronghold.

He waited until the little mouse disappeared from his sight before muttering to himself, “It seems like I won’t be able to stay in this sect for long. I have to find a way out for myself…”

Meanwhile, in the Xueyang Sect stronghold, a group of Xueyang Sect disciples were gathered in the courtyard.

In front of them sat three elders who seemed to be from Xueyang Sect.

However, if one looked carefully, they would realize that only one of the three elders was from Xueyang Sect, and the other two looked unfamiliar.

Even among the twenty disciples there, more than half of them were unfamiliar faces.

All of them had powerful auras; they were all in the Core Formation Stage cultivation.

The three people sitting at the head of the table faintly revealed an extraordinary aura.

This aura had already somewhat exceeded the scope of the Core Formation Stage.

Above them, two little Paper Men were lying on the beam, stretching their heads out to look down.

The people below did not react at all.

They would never have thought that two little Paper Men would have snuck into their heavily protected place.

Just as the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were about to say something, one of them suddenly snorted coldly. “You dare to show off your puppetry in front of me?” With a wave of his hand, a small mouse that had just come to the wall instantly exploded and died.

Zhuang Yangbing, who was controlling the mouse, immediately received the message.

Without any hesitation, he decided to go to the Xueyang Sect Stronghold.

In the Xueyang Sect stronghold, the same cultivator who eliminated the mouse asked, “Dog, do you know where this little rat came from?”

The Nascent Soul cultivator named Dog shook his head and said, “1 didn’t find out. The other party’s methods are very concealed, and the blood essence left behind has also been processed. 1 wanted to investigate, but I found that the other party had long cut it off.”

When Ugly Bull heard that, he said in a muffled voice, “Forget it. If they run, so be it. The other party is probably a little suspicious, but they don’t know what we’re going to do. Besides, we make up three of the twelve Earthly Branches. In the Lower Realm, other than the hidden old demon of Taohua Sect, no one else can be our match.”

The remaining one of the three of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Horse, opened his mouth. “Ugly Bull is right. A small rat won’t cause us any trouble at all. Let’s focus on this mission. After all, the current Upper Realm sects would never expect the three of us to appear here. If everything goes well, not only will we be able to harvest the luck of this world, but we will also be able to bring in a lot of fresh blood for the sect.”

The other two nodded and said nothing more.

When the disciples in front of them heard that, they seemed to be used to it.

At the same time, the two Paper Men above them saw everything and told Lu Yuan about the situation.

Through one of the Paper Men, Lu Yuan looked at the information of the three people below.

“Horse.”

“Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage First Level.”

“Cultivation Method: Horse of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Plain Ghost Record.”

“Ugly Bull.”

“Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage First Level.”

“Cultivation Technique: Ugly Bull of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Heavenly

Bull Dark Art.”

“Dog.”

“Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage First Level.”

“Cultivation Technique: Dog of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Swift Dog Nether Scroll.”

What were Three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators gathered together for?

Lu Yuan was shocked to see that there were three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Xueyang Sect stronghold.

One had to know that there shouldn’t be any cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm in the Full Moon Mountain Range.

It was definitely not as simple as a vacation.

Through the three’s previous conversation, Lu Yuan could roughly guess the purpose of their coming over.

One of their goals should be getting the luck of the Full Moon Mountain Range.

In the entire Full Moon Mountain Range, there were actually many luck-filled Dragon Veins similar to those in Myriad Bone Forest.

In a sense, the Full Moon Mountain Range was the area between the Lower Realm and the Upper Realm where luck flow changed.

The three people in front of Lu Yuan seemed to have the same goal as him.

They were all there for luck.

As for the introduction of fresh blood that they had just mentioned, Lu Yuan felt that they had probably set their target on the prodigies in the Lower Realm.

Although the environment of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm was different, to be able to break out of the encirclement from a place like the Lower Realm that lacked resources, the prodigies definitely had extraordinary abilities.

Even if the prodigies were placed in the Upper Realm, they would still be very good talents.

Apart from the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, the 20 Core Formation Stage cultivators in the house also made Lu Yuan feel a certain amount of pressure.

Just the people in the room were enough to sweep through more than half of the Lower Realm.

After all, the strongest cultivators in the other inner sects of the outside world were only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Thinking of that, Lu Yuan immediately felt like a storm was coming.

This Immortal Ascension Assembly did not seem to be as simple as he had imagined….
