Cultivation: Starting with Farming in the Spiritual Pivot Grotto

Chapter 70 Good Brothers in Fallen Valley

"Click click click!"

The dense sound of rocks cracking echoed through the valley.

The surrounding mist was visibly moving rapidly, and both groups of cultivators stopped what they were doing and froze on the spot.

The two black tigers crouched down and growled incessantly.

"Looks like our commotion has attracted some big jerk. Fellow disciples, wait for my hand signals before you act!"

As soon as Si Jiuyou finished speaking, a huge shadow appeared in the mist above, instantly covering the valley.

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

The people at Shanjun Temple held their spirit tiger tightly, afraid of attracting the attention of this unknown monster.

The fog in the air began to churn violently, surging and turbulent, and the shadow was actually expanding.

Then, the mist slowly parted, and a gigantic head that blotted out the sky slowly emerged from the mist.

It was a snake, a very, very large snake.

Its head resembles a small, imposing mountain, covered with layers of scales that have lost all their luster, much like a rock weathered over hundreds of years, and covered with moss.

Two vertical pupils, like two dark green full moons, looked down at the cultivators at the bottom of the valley, who were like ants.

The snake's mouth opened slightly, and with each breath it stirred up the surrounding mist and brought up a gust of wind.

This was just the head peeking out, yet it covered most of the valley. No one could imagine how enormous the entire body of this giant serpent truly was.

"She's so supermodel-like!"

"No wonder they had to send Bai Yujing to keep things in order. It's really time for all sorts of weirdos to come out."

This snake could not be found in the catalog.

Li Ya decisively hid inside the cave, tightly closing his snail shell and burrowing deep into the silt.

"roar!"

A furious roar instantly echoed through the valley, causing the entire valley to shake violently, and rubble fell from the stone walls on both sides.

The cultivators felt a sharp pain in their eardrums and their blood was churning uncontrollably.

The giant snake suddenly attacked, its body of unknown length, and its tail appeared in another direction.

The terrifying force, carrying a colossal, savage creature, crashed down with a deafening roar.

"Form ranks!"

Si Jiuyou was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and his greed for the blood and flesh of living souls turned into a desire to survive.

The cultivators of Luopo Valley all activated their true energy and poured it into their domain, gathering all the Yin soldiers in front of them. The Yin energy instantly condensed, attempting to withstand the attack head-on.

At this critical moment, Si Jiuyou activated the long banner, instantly recalling all the Yin soldiers and collecting all the true energy of the Dharma Domain.

The banner enveloped him, transforming him into a streak of dark light that vanished into the distance, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded junior disciples.

Puff puff!

The Fallen Valley cultivator, unable to dodge in time, was struck by the snake's tail, his body instantly turning into blood and gore, leaving no trace of flesh or bone.

Those who narrowly escaped were also thrown back by the terrifying wind pressure, their bones shattered and tendons broken, crashing into the rock wall before falling to the ground.

The monks at the Shan Jun Temple on the other side of the river were in equally dire straits.

Even though they had already separated and escaped, the overwhelming wind pressure still slammed both people and beasts against the hard rock wall.

The cultivators who were fighting fiercely just a moment ago have become dying chicks in an instant.

The giant snake slowly lowered its head, its tongue flicking in and out, releasing a cloud of eerie green mist.

It slowly enveloped everyone, and a desperate roar immediately came from within the clouds.

All the cultivators present, whether alive or not, had their souls drawn out and imprisoned by the eerie green mist.

With each breath of the giant serpent, the eerie green mist returned to its mouth.

Having seemingly devoured the souls of more than a dozen cultivators, the ferocious light in its eyes slowly faded.

Its cold, vertical pupils swept over every spot once more, and only after confirming that there were no more living souls did it slowly sway its enormous body, moving along the stone wall and retreating back into the mist.

The swirling fog subsided once more.

Li Ya, inside the Ling Shu Cave Heaven, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not rush to reveal himself, but remained quietly inside the cave, patiently waiting.

The Sumeru bags of more than a dozen cultivators were still on the ground, which together amounted to a considerable fortune.

Li Ya dared not risk his life to test whether the giant snake was still hiding in the shadows.

After lying dormant within the cave for a full hour, and seeing that there was no further movement around, Fangcun Luosi floated up and left the Ling Shu Cave.

Li Ya landed on the open ground by the shore. What he saw was a scene of collapsed earth and rocks, with bloodstains exploding in all directions on the ground.

A faint smell of blood still lingered in the air, and within the blood-soaked robes lay several Sumeru pouches.

Li Ya stepped forward slowly, his heart as calm as still water, and gathered up the entire Sumeru bag containing the orphaned child.

He is not a pedantic woman.

Driven by greed, Luo Po Valley plotted wrongdoing. He took their Sumeru Bag without a shred of remorse, acting with complete righteous indignation.

Since these beast-taming cultivators have all perished, this Sumeru bag cannot be taken to another world.

These worldly possessions, left behind in this desolate place with no one to take them in, naturally belong to the only person destined to own them in this world.

And I am the one destined to be here.

His movements became increasingly skillful, and the scattered Sumeru bag was quickly strung together with a rope, wrapped around his waist, and covered with this gray-green cloth strip.

All twelve Sumeru bags were collected without exception.

At this moment, Li Ya's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he gripped the talisman sword at his waist tightly.

The Ling Shu issued a warning that the scent emanating from the cultivator who had just fled had reappeared, but it was hidden in the shadows and Li Ya failed to detect it.

Meanwhile, Si Jiuyou was watching intently from the shadows.

His gaze swept across the clean ground, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became rapid. Not only were the Sumeru bags of several cultivators from the Mountain Lord Temple gone, but even the Sumeru bags of his many junior brothers were missing.

"Damn it, this kid is so greedy."

Moreover, this boy's cultivation level seems low, so we must not let him obtain this opportunity.

Once the thought arises,

He then walked out directly, waved his long banner, and summoned dozens of ghost soldiers.

"Young man, these Sumeru bags scattered all over the ground were left behind by my junior brothers in their bloody battles. You dare to take them without lifting a finger."

"Hand over all the Sumeru bags immediately!"

"otherwise……"

"I threatened," Si Jiuyou said.

Li Ya stood still, his expression calm and composed, without the slightest panic, only glancing indifferently at the wretched cultivator from the Valley of Despair before him.

"Who do you think you are? What does your fierce fighting in the mud have to do with this? You say these are your fellow disciples, how come all the other disciples are dead, and you're the only senior brother who survived?"

"Why bother setting an example for yourself if you're a deserter at the last minute? If you want to fight, come and have a go."

Si Jiuyou's expression suddenly darkened, his eyes turning sinister.

"I'll say it one last time: hand over the entire Sumeru Bag, and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, this place will be your final resting place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body surged with chilling true energy, and the surrounding Yin soldiers slowly surrounded Li Ya.
