Chapter 127: The Rise of the Sect and the Changing Situation

As the sect grew in strength and the number of disciples increased, so did the demand for various cultivation resources. The once abundant spiritual ore reserves were gradually becoming depleted. The rare spiritual plants in the medicine garden, despite meticulous care, were still in short supply. The specialized materials needed to refine magical treasures were becoming increasingly scarce.

The head elder summoned all the elders to discuss countermeasures. Everyone sat in the conference room with serious expressions.

"The sect is developing rapidly now, but the problem of resource shortage is imminent. If we don't find a way to solve it, it will probably affect the disciples' cultivation progress and hinder the further development of the sect." The head elder said worriedly.

An elder in charge of resource management echoed, "Yes, we've already exhausted all the known spiritual minerals and spiritual plant sources in the surrounding area. We must explore further afield to find new resource points."

Everyone nodded and immediately decided to send out several stronger teams to different directions to search for new resources. The team led by Lin Yun and Su Yao was naturally included in the list. After all, they were experienced and had made great contributions to the sect many times.

After receiving the task, Lin Yun and others quickly gathered and began to prepare the supplies and intelligence collection needed for the trip.

After some inquiries, they learned of a long-abandoned ancient battlefield in the remote northwest desert. A brutal battle between immortal cultivators had once taken place there, leaving countless magical artifacts and elixirs scattered across the land. Despite the passage of time, they might still find some precious resources left behind. Furthermore, it was said that there were unique spiritual plants growing in the desert, adapted to the harsh environment and possessing special spiritual properties. Harvesting them would greatly benefit the sect's alchemy and cultivation.

"Then let's set our target on the ancient battlefield in the northwest desert. However, the environment there is harsh and it must be very dangerous. Everyone should prepare more supplies to deal with the harsh environment and combat." Lin Yun said to the team members.

Everyone responded, each preparing their own supplies. Chen Yu collected a large number of talismans capable of withstanding wind, sand, and high temperatures, as well as some special detection tools to facilitate resource scouting in the desert. Wang Lin prepared numerous tools for repairing magical artifacts and breaking through mechanical barriers, in case of encountering the various traps and seals left on the ancient battlefield. Su Yao carefully selected elixirs to aid in restoring spiritual power and healing wounds, and also studied the habits of dangerous demonic beasts that might appear in the desert to better prepare for them. Zhao Gang reinforced and maintained his magical shield, ensuring it would provide a powerful defensive effect in critical moments.

Lin Yun was also busy. He carefully checked the limited records about the ancient battlefield in the sect, trying to dig out more useful clues, such as the characteristics of the various forces in the war, the possible locations of hidden treasures, etc., to make the best preparations for this trip.

After everything was ready, Lin Yun and the others drove their flying magic weapons towards the northwest desert. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the edge of the desert.

As I approached, a scorching heat, mixed with a swirling dust storm, hit me in the face, making it nearly impossible to open my eyes. The howling wind whipped up the sand and rocks from the ground, forming massive columns of sand that raged across the desert. The sun hung high in the sky, its blazing rays pouring down unobstructed, heating the ground to a scorching temperature that seemed to scorch everything.

"This place is really bad. Everyone, be careful and maintain your spiritual protection. Don't get hurt by the wind, sand and high temperature." Lin Yun shouted loudly, his voice sounding a little weak in the strong wind.

Everyone hurriedly channeled their spiritual energy, forming a thin shield around their bodies to protect them from the wind, sand, and heat. Then, they cautiously stepped into the desert, slowly moving toward the rumored ancient battlefield. With every step, they could feel the sand beneath their feet scorching hot, as if they were stepping on burning coals.

After struggling forward for a while, everyone suddenly heard a low roar coming from the wind and sand. The roar was getting closer and closer, accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground. It was obvious that some big guy was approaching them.

Soon, a demonic beast resembling a giant lizard emerged from the dusty sand. Its body was covered in hard scales that gleamed like metal in the sunlight. A thick layer of sand clung to its scales, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. The giant lizard opened its maw, revealing sharp fangs, and unleashed a stream of blazing air, sweeping towards the group.

"Everyone be careful, this monster is not easy to deal with. It seems that it can control the power of fire!" Lin Yun reminded, and at the same time took the lead in launching an attack. He waved the sword in his hand, unleashed a sharp spiritual sword energy, and shot it towards the giant lizard monster.

The sword energy whizzed through the wind and sand and slashed towards the monster, but the giant lizard monster just flicked its tail lightly and easily avoided the attack. Then it kicked off with all four legs and rushed towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed, bringing up a gust of flying sand and stones.

Faced with the rushing giant lizard monster, everyone reacted quickly, each using their best abilities to resist and counterattack.

Zhao Gang raised his shield and stood firmly at the front, ready to withstand the monster's attack. The giant lizard monster slammed into the shield with a loud bang, and the powerful impact made Zhao Gang retreat repeatedly, but fortunately, the shield played a powerful defensive role and successfully withstood the attack.

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy transformed into spiritual blades, shooting towards the giant lizard monster's eyes, mouth, and other vital parts, trying to disrupt its movements and cause it damage. Chen Yu used the stealth technique to quietly circle around the monster's side. Finding the right moment, he unleashed a powerful hidden spiritual blade and attacked its abdomen. The scales there were relatively weak, making it a relatively ideal attack point.

Wang Lin kept throwing out various talismans. Some of them turned into blazing flames, offsetting the hot airflow spewed out by the monster, while others formed tough ropes, trying to bind the monster's limbs and slow down its attack speed.

Lin Yun, while using his sword skills to protect everyone, observed the monster's movements, trying to find a more effective way to deal with it. He noticed that after each attack, the giant lizard monster would pause briefly to adjust its breath, as if it had consumed a lot of physical strength. So he decided to seize this opportunity to give it a fatal blow.

During the fierce battle, everyone gradually understood the giant lizard's attack rhythm and weaknesses. Besides the relatively weak scales on its abdomen, whenever it prepared to release a fiery jet of air, spiritual energy would gather in its throat, creating a distinct spiritual energy fluctuation point. This was likely the key area where it unleashed its flaming power.

"Everyone, pay attention, attack its abdomen and throat, those are its vital points!" Lin Yun shouted, and then increased his spiritual power to the extreme, and performed his strongest sword move. A dazzling giant sword energy slashed towards the throat of the giant lizard monster.

Upon hearing this, the other team members also adjusted their attacks, concentrating their efforts on the monster's vital points. Su Yao's spiritual blades converged into a powerful spiritual storm, sweeping towards the giant lizard's belly. Chen Yu and Wang Lin also exerted all their strength, focusing their spiritual attacks and the power of their talismans on that single point. Zhao Gang steadied himself to the side, using his shield to block the monster's counterattacks, creating opportunities for his teammates to attack.

Under the concerted attack of everyone, the giant lizard monster finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was hit in the throat by Lin Yun's sword energy and spit out a mouthful of blood. Its abdomen was also ravaged by the spiritual power storm, its scales were broken, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust, and it was completely motionless.

After repelling the giant lizard monster, the group rested briefly before continuing their journey deeper into the desert. After another arduous trek, the scene before them gradually changed. Amidst the once monotonous yellow sands, they began to see broken walls, fragments of damaged magical weapons, and scattered bones. Clearly, they were approaching the legendary ancient battlefield.

The further in you go, the more frequent such scenes become. The air is filled with a faint fluctuation of spiritual power and a smell of decay, as if the tragic atmosphere of the war that year still lingers.

"We're finally here. Everyone, be careful. There are traces of wars everywhere here. There may be all kinds of dangers and treasures hidden here." Lin Yun said softly, his eyes full of vigilance and expectation. Everyone nodded and walked towards the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield more cautiously, ready to explore those precious resources that may have been buried by time.

In the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield, the crowd witnessed even more remarkable sights. The remains of massive magical weapons, half buried in the sand, emanated a faint spiritual glow, as if telling of their former glory. There were also relatively well-preserved storage artifacts. Although their surfaces were covered in scratches and the marks of time, they might still contain precious elixirs, secret manuals of cultivation techniques, and other treasures.

Chen Yu first discovered a suspicious place. Behind a huge rock, there was a small box sealed with spiritual power. The sealing runes on the box were a little blurred, but one could still feel a strong spiritual power fluctuation contained in it.

"Senior Brother Lin Yun, there is a box here. It seems to be sealed with something. Maybe it is a great treasure." Chen Yu shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried over. Lin Yun carefully examined the seal on the box and said, "This seal is very old, but it looks quite strong. Wang Lin, see if you can break it."

Wang Lin stepped forward and carefully examined the sealing rune. He gently touched it with his spiritual power while muttering something to himself, and began to try to find a way to crack it. The others stood guard vigilantly around to prevent any emergencies.

After careful research and experimentation, Wang Lin finally found the weak link in the seal. She took out several specially made talismans, injected spiritual power into them, and then pasted them on the key nodes of the seal rune in a specific order. She then guided everyone to inject spiritual power into the talismans to enhance the spiritual power input.

With a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, the seal on the box gradually dimmed, and then with a click, the box slowly opened. Everyone looked inside with anticipation, only to see several bottles of medicinal pills, emitting a rich spiritual aroma, clearly of exceptional quality. There was also an ancient booklet, the text on it difficult to understand, but judging by the spiritual energy fluctuations it emitted, it must be a precious manual of cultivation techniques. Furthermore, there were some peculiarly shaped small objects, whose purpose was unclear at the moment, but they were likely to have special value.

"We are lucky this time. We have gained something as soon as we got here. It seems that there are indeed many good things hidden in this ancient battlefield." Su Yao said with a smile. Everyone also showed joy on their faces. They carefully put away the treasures and prepared to continue exploring in this ancient battlefield full of opportunities and dangers, hoping to bring back more resources for the sect.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of harvest, suddenly, a powerful and mysterious spiritual power fluctuation surged in the entire ancient battlefield. This fluctuation did not come from the box they had just opened, but came from deeper underground, as if something that had been sleeping for a long time was awakened.

As the waves spread, the surrounding sand began to roll and surge violently. The originally tranquil ancient battlefield suddenly became restless. An oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone's heads, making people feel as if a huge crisis was about to come.

"Oh no, something's happening!
