Mythical Cultivation

The last person saw this and threatened with a ferocious look on his face, "Do you know that my third brother is an inner sect disciple? If you don't let me live, and my brother finds out, none of you will be able to escape!"

However, these people were not intimidated by his words. After all, they had already offended one inner disciple, so why would they be afraid of another? Moreover, in this secret realm, too many disciples had died. Did they have to investigate the cause of death for every one of them? Therefore, no one intended to let him go.

A flying sword flashed by, and in an instant a large head fell to the ground. Blood splattered, staining the surrounding ground red.

The other three men, waiting for their chance, watched this scene with a wave of fear. They had originally considered taking advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack on Wu Ming and his companions, but seeing how ferocious and decisive they were, they knew they were no match. So, they decided to sneak away while Wu Ming and his companions weren't paying attention. After all, if you can't afford to provoke them, you can always avoid them.

Wu Ming and his three companions finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their enemies completely wiped out and the several cultivators who had been standing nearby had departed without them noticing. After this period of training, they were no longer the inexperienced disciples they had been when they first joined. While they still had some lags compared to the top outer disciples, they were no longer someone anyone could bully.

"I really didn't expect it! Liu Qingquan actually has such evil intentions. As an inner disciple, he uses such means to deal with us!" Zhao Xiaohai complained unhappily.

"His brother was expelled from the sect because of Wu Ming. How could he let it go? But I never expected that he would actually plan to enter the secret realm. It seems that on this trip to the secret realm, we must not only be wary of people outside, but also not take it lightly with our fellow brothers in the sect!" Mei Lingshuang said after careful consideration.

"Mei Lingshuang is absolutely right. Now, apart from a few of us, we cannot trust anyone else. Now that the powerful enemy has been eliminated, let's continue to snatch the treasure!" Wu Ming suggested, and the others had no objection.

So, without hesitation, these people attacked the surrounding treasures. Relying on the fact that they had four people who could work together, after a thrilling and fierce battle, they finally succeeded in snatching two extremely precious treasures!

However, in the second brutal battle, Zhao Xiaohai and Hou Tiancheng were tragically injured, their injuries quite severe. Their opponents weren't just two powerful ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators; they were also facing several ferocious and brutal monsters. The four of them had to endure untold hardships and fight bloody battles before finally securing the treasure.

Initially, upon discovering two ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators guarding the treasure, they had no intention of seizing it. But who could have imagined that the surrounding demonic beasts suddenly surged in like a tidal wave, tightly encircling them. At this point, even escaping this perilous location was impossible. Ultimately, with no other options, they were forced into a life-or-death struggle. While the outcome was satisfactory, Zhao Xiaohai and Hou Tiancheng were severely injured, undoubtedly presenting significant uncertainty and challenges to their subsequent treasure-hunting plans.

Therefore, the group decided to change direction, heading towards a place with fewer monks and demonic beasts, so they could rest and recover. After all, remaining where they were might attract more enemies or danger. They needed a relatively safe environment to recover, heal their wounds, and discuss their next move. Throughout this process, they had to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings to prevent any unexpected events.

At this moment, the situation on the field subtly shifted. Initially, most cultivators and demonic beasts chose to act alone, fighting on their own. However, after the initial brutal and fierce struggle, everyone gradually came to their senses. They realized that it was difficult to gain an advantage alone, so they began to call on their relatives, friends, and fellow disciples to form teams to fight for the treasure together.

As a result, the fight for treasures becomes more difficult, but also relatively safer. The difficulty lies in that once you start to form a group to fight for treasures, there is no luck. The strong team will naturally win the treasure, and the weak team will have to give up the treasure.

The safety factor is that if they find there's no chance of winning a particular treasure, they will rationally give up and move on to other treasures, rather than blindly and impulsively risking their lives. After all, there are plenty of treasures, and there's always a chance to win other treasures, so there's no need to fight tooth and nail for just one.

Thanks to Zhao Xiaohai and Hou Tiancheng's injuries, the four of them successfully avoided a more difficult battle. They left the main battlefield and arrived in an area with fewer treasures. Here, the number of cultivators and demonic beasts had significantly decreased, and the atmosphere was relatively calmer. Wu Ming and Mei Lingshuang were on guard, maintaining high alert, while Zhao Xiaohai and Hou Tiancheng took the time to tend to their own injuries.

After more than an hour of healing, the two finally stabilized their injuries and recovered to a certain extent. Although they could not attack with their full strength, they could still exert 70% of their strength.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, these people finally decided to continue to participate in the fierce competition for treasures. Unfortunately, however, in the next few treasure battles, they only succeeded in seizing one treasure and thereafter no more gains.

The main reasons for this situation are as follows: first, the number of people in their team is relatively small; second, the team members' own cultivation level needs to be improved; in addition, Zhao Xiaohai and the other two's injuries have not yet fully healed, and they are unable to fully demonstrate their true strength.

Whenever they encountered small factions or independent cultivators with two or more ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, they found it difficult to win. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a large faction led by a ninth-level Qi Refining expert, there was absolutely no hope. Not to mention elite teams of just two or three, these teams often hailed from major factions and consisted of the most advanced Qi Refining cultivators. Any team that encountered them would retreat.

Furthermore, in this chaotic battle for the treasure, there were powerful monsters involved that outnumbered them by several times. Because of this, the four people's later treasure-hunting results were far less than before.
