After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Upon hearing the reason, Xu Qingman's family found it quite amusing.

Given the opportunity to enter the ruins of an ancient sect, Xu Qingman immediately agreed to the spirit fox's request.

Because human cultivators and demon beasts require different resources, the two sides agreed that they would each take what they needed after entering.

Next, both sides made a solemn oath to Heaven, promising that as long as they remained on this island, they would never attack each other.

It was at this time that the family learned that the spirit fox's name was Nightshade, that it belonged to the Phantom Fox clan, and that it was now over three thousand years old.

The teleportation point wasn't far from here; the four of them flew behind the spirit fox for less than a quarter of an hour and arrived.

Nightshade affixed the teleportation talisman to the stone wall in front of him. A flash of white light, and the four people and the fox were teleported to a magnificent ancient building.

Looking at the magnificent ancient building in front of him, Xu Shuyang exclaimed repeatedly, "Wow! It's so imposing! Is this the aura of an ancient sect? It's truly spectacular!"

He wasn't the only one who felt this way at this moment. Xu Qingman and her husband had previously visited the largest sect, the Nine Yang Sect, so they could be considered worldly-wise.

Compared to this place, the aura of the Nine Yang Sect, which I originally thought belonged to a major sect, was less than one ten-thousandth of what was here.

This is only the surface. Because of the activation of the great formation, what they are seeing now is only a small part of this ruin; the rest is hidden in a thick fog.

"What's so interesting about this? It can't be used for cultivation. We might as well break the formation quickly."

Seeing the family's lack of ambition, Nightshade expressed his utter incomprehension.

Xu Qingman felt somewhat embarrassed after being looked down upon by a beast.

To show that she wasn't some uncultured country bumpkin, she had no choice but to lower her head and begin to observe the arrangement of the grand formation.

As for the father and his two sons who were still immersed in the ancient building, Xu Qingman said she did not see them.

An hour later.

"Why isn't it solved yet? Is it that difficult?"

Two hours later.

"Hurry up and explain it. You keep looking at it, even you can't understand it?"

Seeing that Xu Qingman had been watching for so long without making a move, the spirit fox Night Shadow grew anxious.

"Stop arguing. Didn't you see my mother is calculating seriously? If it were so easy to solve, why would such a major sect have taken a liking to this formation?"

Xu Shuyang interrupted the spirit fox, unable to understand how a fox could be more impatient than him. Didn't it say that it had lived for thousands of years? How could it still be so impatient?

More than an hour later, Xu Qingman, who had been motionless, finally moved.

She made rapid hand gestures, occasionally shifting her position slightly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the thick fog behind the building that had been exposed vanished instantly, and the entire ancient sect was finally revealed to them.

A towering boulder stands behind all the buildings, with the three large characters "Lingshan Sect" carved on it.

This place used to be the Lingshan Sect, but for some unknown reason, such a large sect was completely destroyed.

While Xu Qingman's family was still marveling at its magnificent scale, they heard the spirit fox say, "I'm going in first," and then it darted inside and disappeared.

At this point, the whole family disregarded whether the scenery was beautiful or not and hurriedly rushed inside.

Although it was agreed that everyone would get what they needed, and the fox spirit's needs were different from those of human cultivators, it was still better to secure the good stuff in one's possession for peace of mind.

As expected of a place chosen by a major sect, the spiritual energy becomes increasingly concentrated the further one goes into the center.

The first place the group entered was a large courtyard with the words "Dan Tang" engraved on it.

Unfortunately, there was nothing left inside except for a few alchemy furnaces lying haphazardly on the ground.

Judging from the chaotic state of the place, something terrible must have happened, which is why everyone was fleeing for their lives.

After leaving the Pill Hall, the group entered the Weapon Refining Hall, which was also in complete chaos.

However, the observant Xu Qingman still managed to find a storage bag in a corner. Upon opening the storage bag, Xu Qingman smiled with delight.

"What's wrong? Did you find something useful?" Yu Jinchen asked curiously when he saw his wife's face suddenly beaming with smiles.

"Yes, it's definitely good stuff."

Xu Qingman nodded and then explained, "It's Tianzhu Stone, the whole bag is full of Tianzhu Stone."

Upon hearing that it was a Heavenly Pillar Stone, Yu Jinchen and his two sons were overjoyed.

This is a key material for crafting high-level magic weapons. If the crafting cultivator is skilled enough, adding just one of these materials can easily make the crafted magic weapon reach the level of a spirit weapon.

Although no one in the Xu family is skilled in weapon crafting, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan is, and his technique is excellent.

Once we return and hand this bag of Heavenly Pillar Stones over to Ancestor Nanshan, our family will receive at least several dozen spirit-grade magic treasures.

After leaving here, the family seemed to have a stroke of luck, and soon they found the medicinal garden of the Lingshan Sect.

Seeing the seemingly endless herb garden, Xu Shuyang rushed over excitedly, "My God, it's full of spiritual herbs that are over ten thousand years old! I think I even saw a few that are over twenty thousand years old! I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Xu Shunu laughed and pulled him back, "Stop fooling around, let's get started."

Xu Shuyang replied, "Okay, I got it."

Then he looked around and said, "Hey, such a nice place, how could that spirit fox bear to let it go?"

Xu Shunu looked over with disdain, "Idiot, didn't you see the traces of fresh soil in some places? That spirit fox must have already gotten everything it needed."

Xu Shuyang scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, really? I didn't notice."

The two brothers were still bickering when they saw their parents digging and digging.

Seeing this, the two brothers quickly stopped arguing and bent down to get to work.

Unlike other plants, medicinal herbs must be dug up one by one by hand, and care must be taken not to mix different kinds together, otherwise the medicinal properties may be mixed and the herbs will become ineffective.

Fortunately, the family members all possessed considerable cultivation levels; otherwise, anyone who had been bent over digging for nearly ten days would have collapsed from exhaustion.

"Let's stop digging, there's too much already, I'm exhausted." Xu Shuyang was the first to collapse on the ground from exhaustion.

None of them ever imagined that they would one day find themselves too many high-grade spiritual herbs to dig for.

Xu Qingman smiled and said, "If you're tired, take a rest. You might never encounter such a good thing again after you leave here."

They would rest when they were tired, and then start again when they were rested enough. It took the family more than twenty days to collect all the valuable medicinal herbs.

After digging up the medicinal herbs, the family found the spirit fruit garden, where they also encountered the spirit fox that had disappeared after entering.

Xu Qingman smiled and said, "Night Shadow, so you're here! Are these spirit fruits delicious? We're going to pick some too."

The fox waved its paw indifferently, "Go ahead and pick them, just don't touch the few around me."

Anyway, only these few are useful to it; the others are just for the sake of good taste.

Although the spirit fox told them to do as they pleased, the group didn't touch anything except for a few items that had special uses.

After leaving the Spirit Fruit Garden, they couldn't find anything useful, so they decided to go up the mountain to look for the caves of high-level cultivators.

Because of this decision, the family almost suffered a great loss.
