A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Dragons, such mysterious and powerful creatures, have never been seen in the Tianyuan Continent, either in the present or in the past. Wushuang had no interest in delving into the origins of this dragon bone, as what was more important to her was the tangible benefits she could gain from it.

Without hesitation, Wushuang ran in the direction of the sound. Soon, she arrived at a broken wall. Looking up, she saw no way forward, only a sea of scorching, roiling lava and fire. And above this terrifying sea of fire, a strange bone quietly floated. Upon closer inspection, it seemed more like a dragon's tooth than a dragon's bone.

This dragon's fang was immense, its sharp point razor-sharp, as if a single slash could cleave the heavens and earth. A single fang possessed such astonishing power, transforming the surrounding area into a terrifying sea of magma and fire! This clearly showed that it must belong to a fire dragon of extraordinary power. Thinking of this, Wushuang couldn't help but feel awe.

Wushuang took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart. She stared intently at the Dragon Fang radiating a mysterious light. After a brief pause, she suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the Dragon Fang like a flash of lightning.

In mid-air, Wushuang swiftly stretched out her arms, as if to embrace the entire world, aiming directly at the coveted dragon's fang. Just as her hands were about to make contact with the dragon's fang, at that critical moment, an invisible and intangible yet extremely powerful force suddenly erupted from the dragon's fang, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth, mercilessly sending Wushuang flying.

"Could this be the legendary power of dragon's breath?" Wushuang pondered inwardly. Despite the setback, there was no sign of retreat in her eyes. She gritted her teeth, quickly adjusted her posture, and prepared to launch a second attack.

Once, twice, three times... Wushuang kept trying to get closer to Longya, but each time ended in failure. However, the good news was that each failure brought her closer to Longya, as if victory was just around the corner.

Wushuang had experienced countless failures, her clothes soaked with sweat, and her physical and mental strength were exhausted to the extreme. But she still refused to give up, relying on the persistent belief deep in her heart to support herself to continue.

Finally, after another strenuous sprint, Wushuang's fingertips successfully touched the dragon's fang! In an instant, an extremely powerful energy, like a surging torrent, carrying extremely rich fire spiritual power, madly flowed into her body along her arm.

Wushuang felt as if her body was being torn apart by this violent force, excruciating pain radiating throughout her body. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, desperately guiding this energy through her body, trying to tame it and use it for her own benefit.

She gritted her teeth and persevered, striving to absorb the energy from the dragon's fang. Her bones crackled with a creaking sound. Because she had established her foundation early, Wushuang's appearance had always seemed somewhat youthful, but now a significant transformation had taken place. She had shed her youthful appearance, revealing the delicate beauty of a mature woman. Even her height had increased, from a little over 1.6 meters to just over 1.7 meters. Over time, Wushuang's body gradually adapted to the energy, her aura growing stronger and stronger, and her long-stagnant cultivation progress finally began to move. Once she calmed down again, she had reached the late Jindan stage. She finally grasped the dragon's fang and collected it, returning to shore.

The dragon's fangs were taken away, and the surging, scorching lava gradually subsided, as if losing its vitality. At this moment, Wushuang keenly noticed that within this cave, there were several plants of Dragon's Breath Grass emitting a mysterious glow!

These dragon's breath grasses shimmered with a faint yet captivating light, like tiny stars in the darkness. They were used in the crafting of many precious healing elixirs. And, most crucially, they contained a rich reservoir of dragon's breath energy. This energy was priceless to cultivators; if used in physical training, it would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.

The eldest brother finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news that his junior sister was safe. No matter what, as long as she was okay, it was good. He began to think about the current situation. The other side had a large number of people, more than 20 people. It would be unwise to confront them head-on. He had to think of a way. Master Yunhai, who had huddled in a corner without being able to form a formation, watched the other side put the pieces of ore into the storage ring. His heart was bleeding with pain. The master told him to wait, the reinforcements would be back soon. With so many people going down, there would always be someone who would fall into the same space with him. When the time came, they would locate each other and look for each other and they would be able to find each other quickly. It would be better to fight with the other side with more people than before!

However, simply wasting time like this was clearly not a good strategy. Perhaps due to the enemy's sheer numbers, they initially ignored the slightest sign of human activity. They continued their work, their movements deft and swift, frantically collecting the precious ore. Their technique was exquisite, each dig precise and accurate, as if they knew the mining area by heart. With the clinking sound of hammering, pieces of gleaming ore peeled from the mine walls one after another and were carefully placed into storage rings.

Soon the area was empty. Master Yunhai carefully arranged the formation. No matter whether he could get people or not, even if no one came, he couldn't let those people leave like that. He had to leave some skin behind!

Master Yunhai was sneaking around, trying to seduce someone, while Wushuang was in a difficult situation. Perhaps it was because her previous fierce battle with the giant python was so thrilling and magnificent that it attracted the attention of others.

A small team had already quietly arrived, following the clues. "Big Brother, look at the traces here. It's obvious that a major battle had just taken place here!" One of the team members pointed at the messy battle marks on the ground and reported to the leading brother with a look of astonishment.

The scene before him was a shambles. A massive, encircling tree had vanished, leaving only sawdust and charred marks scattered across the ground. A closer look revealed not only signs of burns but also a faint, eerie, poisonous odor. Deep sword marks crisscrossed the ruins.

Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, "One piece of wood, one piece of fire, plus such a strong poison, look at the traces left here, even that huge tree was blasted into rubble! With our Jindan stage cultivation, although we can shake this huge tree, it's probably difficult to destroy the entire tree in an instant like this, right?"

Another person nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, even if we use all our strength, we can only knock down or chop down this tree. But now the tree has been directly blown to pieces, turning into dust and floating in the air. This kind of terrifying power is definitely not something we can contend with. In my opinion, we'd better stay away from it as soon as possible and never provoke this terrifying existence, so as not to bring ourselves fatal disasters." Someone agreed after hearing this.

But some people disagreed, "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Who doesn't have something to save their lives? Even if someone really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage here, so what? After the previous battle, they must be at the end of their strength. There must be a treasure here, otherwise who would risk their life here!"

"Look at the traces left there. The cultivators must have won. The treasures were dug out. There must be treasures in the monster cave as well. If we hurry, we might be able to stop them. Hehe..." What was left unsaid was self-evident. Everyone understood.

Many people were tempted by the treasure. Something guarded by a Nascent Soul stage demon beast was naturally tempting. Furthermore, the man had just experienced a great battle and might even have been seriously injured. Most people were tempted, but only a few were hesitant.

"Yes, we come here for opportunities. If there is an opportunity in front of us, we must seize it. What is there to hesitate about? I am not asking you to die!" said the man known as the master.

So the group rushed towards the cave in a hurry. When they entered the cave, Wushuang knew it. She had dismantled the formation when she left the cave, but she used low-grade spirit stones to add a small formation for early warning. If someone came, it would be triggered, and she would know no matter where she was.

She had originally thought the cave would have another exit. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but this python cave had no other exit besides the one connected to this karst cave. Wushuang, faced with the choice of playing hide-and-seek with them and escaping, or hiding and watching the fun unfold, chose to watch. In reality, she had already obtained quite a few treasures, so she wasn't really in a hurry. Besides, people from the Tianyuan Continent were sure to arrive one after another, so she wasn't in a rush at all.

Wushuang simply took out the invisibility formation she had used before, and now she renamed it the Nine-Turn Infinite Formation. Because this formation has nine turns as a cycle and is constantly changing, she took this name.

Because he had benefited from the choice of formation location in the secret realm before, Wushuang also carefully selected a location for himself this time, a hollow platform in mid-air. When the formation was set up, it would be a perfect cave wall. When the formation was removed, it would be a small platform in mid-air on the cave wall.
