I can gather experience beads

Cao Rui was still very confident about this signal tower in the imperial palace.

Because not only is Wang Liang here to guard, but the three major sects will also regularly send cultivators to the palace. It can be said that this signal tower should be the safest signal tower in Xiao State.

Wang Liang didn't have many spirit stones on him, so naturally he didn't recharge his spirit sound points.

Cao Rui patiently taught Wang Liang how to start and activate the signal tower, and told him how to connect and communicate with other signal towers.

Finally, he added his Lingyin Jade Pendant and Wang Liang as friends for future contact.

After completing these, Cao Rui led a group of disciples from the Equipment Refining Academy to the next immortal cultivation force.

In this way, within just a few days, Cao Rui quickly deployed signal towers in the six immortal cultivation forces.

This included not only the Changyuan Xiuxian Market, but also five other Xiuxian families who expressed their willingness to accept and place signal towers, and finally successfully completed the deployment work.

At present, only the location of the last Xiuxian family has not been covered. Once the signal tower layout is completed at this location,

Then, all the immortal cultivation forces in Xiao State can be interconnected. Next, only nine more key nodes need to be arranged to successfully complete the signal tower layout task of Xiao State.

It was noon that day, the sun was shining and the weather was fine.

The sky was as blue as a gem and there were not a single cloud in sight.

Cao Rui led ten disciples from the Equipment Refining Academy, riding their flying mounts, and arrived at the last immortal cultivation force of the Xiao Kingdom at lightning speed.

The immortal cultivation force here is called the Wu Family, one of the six major immortal cultivation families in the Xiao Kingdom, and is extremely famous in the vicinity.

The person with the highest cultivation level in this family is the patriarch Wu Tong, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. This level of cultivation is nothing in the Spirit Beast Sect, but it is already considered pretty good among the immortal cultivation forces and independent cultivators in Xiao Country.

The Wu family's family building was built outside the mortal city. It was similar to a manor, magnificent, solemn and dignified, like an impregnable fortress.

When Cao Rui and his ten disciples rode their spirit birds across the sky, their figures were like meteors streaking across the sky, attracting the attention of everyone in the Wu family.

Upon hearing the news, the disciples of the Wu family rushed over and looked up at the sky, with expressions of surprise and awe on their faces.

They had never seen so many powerful monks.

The cultivators from the big sects and these ordinary immortal cultivation forces are from completely different worlds.

When Wu Tong, the head of the Wu family, heard the news, he immediately led the family disciples to meet them.

He was wearing a green robe, looked to be about sixty years old, and had a thin face.

Behind Wu Tong followed a group of elite disciples of the Wu family, who were also cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

Cao Rui and ten disciples slowly landed in front of the Wu family's courtyard. Compared with the Wu family's disciples, their aura was as steady as a mountain, giving people a feeling that they were unshakable.

This is the feeling of oppression that disciples from large sects bring to ordinary cultivators.

Wu Tong walked forward quickly, bowed to Cao Rui and said, "Welcome to the seniors of the Spirit Beast Sect. I wonder what brings you to our small Wu family?"

Wu Tong was knowledgeable and recognized the attire of the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect.

At Cao Rui's suggestion, Chen Rui stepped forward to explain to him the layout of the signal tower and the interests involved.

Like other immortal cultivation families in Xiao Country, Wu Tong also neglected the matter of recharging Lingyin points to become an agent.

He immediately expressed his willingness to help place the signal tower.

It looks like everything is going well again.

Cao Rui also left behind the signal tower and five Lingyin jade pendants and left.

Watched Cao Rui and his group leave.

Wu Tong's eyes gradually turned cold.

He was seen quickly returning to his own secret room.

He took out a communication array disk, put in five spirit stones, and activated it.

After the formation plate paused slightly, a human face condensed out. This person was actually the weapon refining master of Yunshui Sect - Gongsun Zhi!

"Wu Tong, why are you contacting me?" Gongsun Zhi has been busy recently studying how to perfectly replicate the Lingyin jade pendant, and his tone sounds a little impatient.

"Elder Gongsun, someone from the Spirit Beast Sect came today and gave me a signal tower and five permanent Spirit Sound Jade Pendants."

"Signal tower? What is that?" Gongsun Zhi asked.

Wu Tong brought the signal tower over and asked Gongsun Zhi to look at it.

Gongsun Zhi looked at the signal tower through the communication array disk and quickly recognized that it was a second-level magic weapon. The magic array engraved on it should be a second-level communication.

"The cost of building a signal tower like this is at least three or four thousand spirit stones. Is the Spirit Beast Sect so generous as to give it to you?" Gongsun Zhi said with some disbelief.

Wu Tong nodded and told Gongsun Zhi what Cao Rui had said.

"It turns out to be the signal tower of the Lingyin Jade Pendant. If I activate this, the signal of the Lingyin Jade Pendant can be transmitted here?"

"You want to use the signal tower to expand the communication capability of the Lingyin Jade Pendant, which is only worth five spirit stones, to the entire Yunzhou? The Spirit Beast Sect is really generous."

"Well, Wu Tong, bring the signal tower to me now."

"The Lingyin Jade Pendant is already one step behind, and the signal tower cannot fall behind any further." Gongsun Zhi said.

Wu Tong nodded respectfully. After the communication formation was closed, Wu Tong immediately decided to leave for Yunshui Sect and give the signal tower to Gongsun Zhi.

However, just as Wu Tong turned around, he saw a figure standing quietly behind him.

"I originally thought that the close relationship between the Wu family and the Yunshui Sect was just a rumor and could not be trusted."

"Now it seems that it is not groundless." Cao Rui looked at Wu Tong, whose expression changed drastically, calmly.

"Plop!" Wu Tong did not have the spirit of an immortal cultivator at all, and he knelt down directly towards Cao Rui.

“Master Cao, please forgive me, Wu Tong. I am associated with the Yunshui Sect for the survival and prosperity of my family. I don’t really want to have any dealings with the Yunshui Sect.” Wu Tong burst into tears.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Get up, I don't blame you."

"Are you serious, Master Cao?" Wu Tong stood up, hope flashing in his eyes.

Cao Rui nodded, looked into Wu Tong's eyes, and threw out a divine spike.

With Cao Rui's current terrifying spiritual power, he stabbed out with the Cone Divine Thorn, and Wu Tong, who was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, had his soul shattered. He collapsed to the ground silently, losing his life.

"A dying man, why would I blame you for anything?"

Cao Rui waved his hand and the signal tower fell into his hands.

In the outside world, as Cao Rui's spiritual consciousness transmitted the message, the sound of a one-sided fight rang out.

The ten disciples from the Equipment Refining Academy were all in the late stage of Qi Refining, and with the assistance of spiritual birds, it was easy for them to destroy the small Wu family.

Soon, all the monks of Wu family were killed.

Cao Rui controlled the black feather to rise above the Wu family manor, waved his hand, and the Fire Snake Technique danced down, setting the entire Wu family manor on fire and reducing it to ashes.

"Choose a suitable location nearby and start building the first node stronghold." Cao Rui said softly, looking at the flames below.

"Yes!" All the disciples from the Equipment Refining Academy responded in unison.
