Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

This time, the casualty rate of the trip to the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain exceeded that of all previous years. More than 80% of the people died in the bloodbath, and less than 20% walked out alive.

Many people who were dubbed "geniuses" have died. After all, they are still in the Qi Refining stage and have not really grown up. No matter how high their talent is, it is useless. However, those "natives" are all old monsters with years of experience.

These withered geniuses were all outstanding descendants who were highly expected by a certain sect or family. However, in the ancient secret realm of Beiyin Mountain where heroes gathered and elites from various factions competed for supremacy, they no longer seemed so dazzling.

"Yes, although he was injured, his cultivation has improved a lot." An old man with a glowing body looked at a young descendant of his family, nodded continuously, and was very satisfied.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

"After surviving this catastrophe, your future achievements will surely be immeasurable."

……

The light gate of the Beiyin Mountain secret realm has been closed, and those who should have come out have already come out. As for those who have never shown up, they must have died in blood inside.

Around a sedan chair decorated with lavish ornaments and inlaid with jade and gems, kneeling were rows of burly generals wearing heavy armor and with an imposing aura.

A middle-aged man in a black and gold python robe stood with his hands behind his back at the side of the sedan chair, exuding a powerful aura and with a gloomy face.

This is the brother of the former King of Xiang, who has the same father and mother as him, and the uncle of the current King of Xiang.

When the King of Xiang decided to enter the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain for training, he was still in seclusion. Now he came out and led the guards of the palace to wait here early to welcome the King of Xiang. However, he never saw the figure of his nephew. He knew in his heart that his nephew had met with an accident and died in a bloody battle in Beiyin Mountain.

"Nephew!" The middle-aged man roared to the sky, emitting a violent aura from his body. A vast expanse of white shook the sky.

"Your Highness..." The guards of the Prince of Xiang's Mansion were also wailing in grief.

In the distance, people from all the major sects looked surprised and whispered to the younger generation coming out of Beiyin Mountain, "What's going on? Did Prince Xiang really die in there? How did he die?"

However, except for Le Huaxin and a dozen or so fellow disciples of Heming Sect, the rest of the people who knew about the death of King Xiang had been killed by Gu Chi and Da Heigou, and no one knew the truth.

Now, when these young monks are asked about this by their elders, they all shake their heads to indicate that they don’t know.

"How is this possible! How come no one from my Lingxi Sect can be seen?!" Not far away, a group of white-haired elders from the Lingxi Sect were filled with grief and hatred, unable to accept this result.

To obtain that page of the Luoshu's general outline and the Autumn Silkworm's golden thread, they sent out elite troops, accompanied by ten Foundation Establishment sealers. To be on the safe side, they even brought along a copy of the Lord's decree. Yet, despite such meticulous preparations, they were completely annihilated? What kind of catastrophe had befallen those people within Beiyin Mountain?

"Investigate! I want to know how they died! How dare they kill my Lingxi Sect? If it was done by those evil beasts in Beiyin Mountain, I will use my ancestral weapon to level Beiyin Mountain!"

It was not just the Lingxi Sect and the Xiangwang Mansion that were completely wiped out in the secret territory of Beiyin Mountain. There were many other forces that had the same fate as them.

In another direction, Yongqing Hou stood on an ancient chariot, his long purple hair dancing in the wind. He frowned and muttered, "Why haven't the man and the dog come out yet?"

She did not tell her elders about the setback she suffered in Beiyin Mountain. She did not want to take advantage of the situation, and she was even more disdainful of complaining. She had her own pride and dignity.

Next to her were several ancient chariots with human figures standing on them. They were the companions who were with her by the Soul Purification Pool in Baiyao Garden that day.

The identities of these people are also very unusual. They are all children of royal nobles, but they are not as lucky as Yongqing Hou. They were born as the heirs of the marquisate and have no brothers or sisters to compete with them openly or secretly.

If they want to inherit the title, they must stand out among many brothers and sisters. In the end, it may even develop to the point where brothers draw their swords against each other.

At this moment, in addition to the sects that were almost wiped out and roaring in anger, there were also many people discussing another matter.

"Have you heard? A brutal woman has emerged from Beiyin Mountain. She's so powerful she even dares to hunt down the Sealer!"

"Not only have I heard about it, I even witnessed her fighting with others on the ancient land of Treasure Cliff with my own eyes! You have no idea what that scene was like; it was like she was possessed by a demon!"

"I also witnessed her fighting from afar. She was accompanied by a black dog half a man's height, which was equally ferocious."

Soon, some of the deeds of Gu Chi and the big black dog in Beiyin Mountain were spread, and everyone was shocked.

However, after listening to the description of Gu Chi by the insider, many people suddenly remembered that they seemed to have seen a young woman who fit the description just now.

She was dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure, a hanging gauze hat on her head, a green ghost mask on her face, and two four-foot-long straight swords hanging from her waist. This description, except that she was not wearing a mask on her face, was very consistent with the young woman who walked out of the light gate not long ago.

"If they are really the same person, then the short man next to her, who was completely covered in a black robe, must be the black dog you mentioned."

"It's very likely. After all, it's a dog. Standing upright, it's almost four feet tall."

Many people were looking around, searching for Gu Chi and the big black dog.

There is no doubt that Gu Chi and Big Black Dog have become really famous this time. After the various deeds they did in Beiyin Mountain were spread out, the elders of the major sects were shocked and speechless.

However, people don't know the origins of this man and dog. They only guess that they might be the descendants and domesticated pets of some hidden powerful person.

At this time, the person involved and the dog had already followed the Heming Sect's large army and embarked on the return journey.

At this time, the atmosphere on the flying boat was very low and depressing. No one took the initiative to speak. Gu Chi and the big black dog also quietly found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

"Just place all the spiritual medicines in front of you, and I will record them one by one."

Such a calm voice broke the oppressive atmosphere, and the Foundation Establishment Elder who was responsible for escorting them back and forth spoke at this time.

"Yes, Elder." Everyone responded, taking out their storage bags and placing the spiritual herbs they picked in Beiyin Mountain in front of them one by one.

However, the Heming Sect only accepts spiritual medicines, and the rest can be kept by you or handed over to the sect in exchange for contribution points.

This includes several medicinal herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and they will not be collected compulsorily.

After all, the resources of Heming Sect are very limited, and they will be allocated first to the most suitable candidates. As a result, many people in the sect who could have broken through to the foundation-building stage long ago were stuck where they were because they could not get the foundation-building pills.
