When Su Hao asked Feng Ling and Feng Yan for materials, the two of them fumbled for a long time before finding a tiny bit of material. Su Hao thought that various refining and alchemy materials in this world were extremely scarce!
Now, looking at the neatly stacked materials piled up on the entire flying boat, Su Hao realized that it wasn’t that there were few materials in the cultivation world, but rather that he possessed few of them!
Moreover, one’s individual power was truly insignificant compared to the entire immortal sect.
Su Hao murmured, “The resources controlled by the immortal sect far exceed imagination.”
With a wave of his long knife, he cut open the nearest large box, casually opened the lid, and inside was a golden-orange piece. At a glance, Su Hao recognized this kind of ore as the relatively precious Nine-Striped Yellow Heart Stone.
Su Hao opened another box next to it, and goodness, it was still the Nine-Striped Yellow Heart Stone!
Opening another box, hmm, this was Xuanlei Cold Mountain Iron, tsk tsk tsk! This stuff was quite rare. And here, there’s the Lingsheng Chi Bloodstone, my goodness, this stone is extremely useful, a high-level material! Three-Hole Purple Wood Heart, a top-grade material of wood attribute spiritual power! Zhenhai Fire Magma Ore, this stuff could be used to make spiritual energy bombs…
Soon, Su Hao flipped through all the materials in the entire boat warehouse, like a wild boar entering a cabbage patch.
Su Hao thought to himself, “No wonder I’ve only heard of powerful formation masters but rarely see any top-notch artifact refiners. It turns out that the materials for refining are all controlled by the immortal sect, centrally allocated. Ordinary cultivators simply don’t have enough material resources to grow into top-notch artifact refiners. Even if they do, it’s under the control and scheduling of the immortal sect.”
Although Su Hao didn’t have an urgent need for these materials, he would still take them when they were presented to him. These materials could turn many of his inspirations into reality.l
“Boom!”
Just then, the entire boat suddenly shook violently, and Su Hao’s radar perception swept over it, immediately realizing the reason: “The boat’s shield has been breached!”
…
After receiving accurate information, Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks, led by Elder Shen, ambushed the flying boat returning from Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain carrying supplies.
In order to deceive the various major immortal sects in the cultivation world, this type of flying boat took off twenty at a time, flying back to the immortal sect in different directions.
But who were the Sanhe Peaks? They were notorious bandits among the immortal sects. This trick of Yuan Mountain was easily exposed by the Sanhe Peaks.
In just two days, Sanhe Peaks pinpointed the flying boat carrying the actual materials!
And on the third day, they organized manpower to take action! Eight Nascent Soul cultivators, thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators! This was the advantage of numbers! Although having many people incurred high costs, it also yielded high returns and profits…
After Elder Shen intercepted the flying boat, he tentatively attacked, immediately confirming that this flying boat was indeed their target as expected!
Elder Shen, dressed in a blue robe, his long hair fluttering in the wind, looked like a true immortal, but the urgency and eagerness revealed in his widened eyes destroyed this immortal aura.
Elder Shen manipulated his techniques, controlling the artifact “Golden Ring Eight Directions Sword” to continuously bombard the boat’s shield. Seeing the shield becoming increasingly difficult to support and on the verge of breaking, he couldn’t help but shout, “Lao Wu, seize the opportunity now!”
As he spoke, he pointed forward with his index finger, and at the same time, the eight artifacts converged into one, fiercely striking the shield, causing ripples to spread across it.
The “Lao Wu” mentioned by Elder Shen was also a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. He wore a gray robe, with a calm demeanor. He reached out and took out his prized artifact, the “Yuanxiu Shield Breaking Cone,” which was pitch black and shaped like a thermos, with an extremely sharp tip. Under the sunlight, it reflected a faint black light!
Lao Wu tossed it out, and the Yuanxiu Shield Breaking Cone immediately emitted a five-colored brilliance, dazzling to the extreme, turning into a stream of light that fiercely collided with the boat’s shield!
“Boom!”
After a loud noise, the flying boat’s shield shook violently, and combined with the full-force attacks from all the surrounding cultivators, the shield burst open with a “bang”!
Elder Shen’s figure, at the moment when the shield shattered, transformed into a blue stream of light flying onto the flying boat, explosively shouting, “Kill!”
As he spoke, eight streams of light followed closely, shooting among the disciples of Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain.
“Puff puff!”
In an instant, two Foundation Establishment disciples, unable to resist the backlash from the shattered shield, were pierced through by flying swords, falling to the ground and perishing instantly!
The remaining six sword lights were either dodged or blocked.
The disciples of Sanhe Peaks followed closely behind Elder Shen, landing on the deck to engage in close combat, to prevent the disciples of Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain from activating the shield again!
For a moment, sword energy soared, streams of light flew chaotically, curses rose and screams echoed.
Fortunately, the cultivators of Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain were prepared. Seeing the situation turning dire, most of them secretly activated their shields, fully blocking and dodging, while simultaneously manipulating their techniques to secretly unleash their most proficient escape arts. In the instant the shield shattered, they scattered like birds and beasts, each fleeing for their lives! Those with spare energy even managed to ambush some of the Foundation Establishment disciples of Sanhe Peaks!
The Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides avoided each other tacitly, specifically targeting the Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Thus, in the blink of an eye, both sides suffered casualties. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators hadn’t even figured out what was happening before they inexplicably fell! There was no time to escape!
In just a few breaths, the cultivators of Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain abandoned ten corpses and fled alone!
The disciples of Sanhe Peaks symbolically pursued for a while, then returned to the flying boat, no longer giving chase. Chasing at this point might just invite a counterattack from the other side; what they wanted was on the flying boat, and achieving their goal was the most important thing.
After driving away two Nascent Soul cultivators, Elder Shen eagerly followed into the cargo hold of the flying boat.
Then he saw the empty cargo hold, his heart sinking, the smile he couldn’t hide froze on his face, and then he saw a figure he had been longing for day and night, almost falling sick from lovesickness — the Crystal Armor Man!
At the same time, he watched helplessly as the Crystal Armor Man reached out for a box of materials, and that huge box disappeared into thin air right under his nose!
Elder Shen immediately recalled the scene when he was waiting in the medicine garden.
Yes! It was that damned Crystal Armor Man!
Elder Shen was furious!
After Su Hao moved the last box of materials into his storage space, he was about to greet his old acquaintance and then flash away.
Subconsciously injecting spiritual power into the core sensing rune, he searched for any omissions, only to discover a hidden compartment beneath the floorboards!
Su Hao waved his long knife, and the extremely hard floorboards instantly shattered, revealing a square box underneath: “There’s something hidden here? What is it?”
At this moment, Elder Shen couldn’t control his desire to attack. With a wave of his hand, eight streams of light shot towards Su Hao in succession, locking down all the spaces for his evasion!
With all his might, he shouted, “Bastard!”
Su Hao glanced at the eight streams of light, choosing to ignore them, and proceeded to reach for the box in the compartment.
“Swish——”
“Ding ding ding ding～”
The flying swords hit Su Hao’s diamond armor, making a clanging sound, unable to advance, then rebounded halfway, much like the scene where they had attacked the flying boat shield just now.
Su Hao’s massive body suddenly shook, feeling a tremendous force hit him, causing his body to uncontrollably retreat, plowing a deep trench in the floor beneath his feet.
He glanced at the attacked area and saw that the shield was undamaged, couldn’t help but think to himself, “Indeed, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, actually able to push me back with sheer force. Fortunately, my absolute defense is still decent.”
Seeing his first attack unsuccessful, Elder Shen manipulated his techniques and explosively shouted, “Eight Ring Armor Breaking Swords!”
Su Hao intended to test his absolute defense and did not dodge.
“Dang~!”
Eight flying swords consecutively collided at the same spot on Su Hao’s chest, as before, almost knocking Su Hao into the wall, but apart from increasing Su Hao’s defense stats, they were of no use.
Su Hao praised, “It seems your attack power is not bad!”
Then he opened the box to see what was inside.
Inside the box lay a nine-petaled white flower the size of a basin. As soon as the lid was opened, a faint white light illuminated Su Hao’s face, and a rich fragrance immediately filled the air.
“What is this?”
This huge white flower was indeed something Su Hao had never seen in any book.
Seeing this, Elder Shen’s movements paused for a moment, and he blurted out in excitement, “Nine-Ringed Merging Spirit Lotus!”
Then he realized that the Nine-Ringed Merging Spirit Lotus was not in his hands, his expression changed, becoming extremely ugly, “Bastard! Put down the Merging Spirit Lotus for me!”
At this moment, Su Hao stood four meters tall, while Elder Shen was less than two meters tall, yet he dared to call himself “old man”! But Su Hao didn’t care about these titles. He closed the box curiously and asked, “This is called the Nine-Ringed Merging Spirit Lotus? What is it used for?”
Elder Shen was almost losing his composure, how could he be willing to answer Su Hao’s questions? He manipulated the flying swords once again to attack Su Hao, and even one stream of light shot towards the box in Su Hao’s hand.
A dazzling green light suddenly lit up in Su Hao’s right hand, and he swept his long knife horizontally!
