Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

"Hahaha, do you think you can succeed in the same trick twice?"

This time, I'm the hunter!

Both Lu Zaian burst into laughter at the same time.

Now that their true forms and formations have been revealed, they will not be given another chance to resort to tricks.

We must use swift and decisive action to kill them both and eliminate any future trouble!

【The Boundless Ocean Sutra】.

The 160 drops of liquid mana within his dantian exploded simultaneously, transforming into a vast and overwhelming surge of mana!

Raging, raging!!!

【Water Moon Sword Manual: Thousand Swords!】

Thousands of powerful and terrifying Water Moon Swords were condensed, their blades all pointing at the male and female bandits.

"Xiao Yi!"

“Ew!!”

At the same time, a fair-skinned little figure flew out from the main body.

However, the aura emanating from the seemingly cute little person was stronger than that of Lu Zai'an!

Even surpassing ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Xiao Yi also sensed her partner's anger.

It immediately flicked its little hand repeatedly, instantly summoning a giant wave tens of feet high, which swept out with destructive force.

And it's not over yet.

While the main body exerted its power, the clone Lu Zaian was not idle either.

He was immediately put in charge of controlling the formation.

The two, who share the same memory, showed no signs of unfamiliarity with each other's actions.

He pulled two array flags out of thin air and waved them using the technique of ambidextrous fighting.

The banners fluttered and waved, making a rustling sound.

The vast white world was suddenly divided into two sides of precise size.

Like two curtains, one for night and one for day.

At the same time, it separated the male and female bandits, opening up two battlefields.

The male bandits are trapped in darkness, while the female bandits are trapped in light.

As the saying goes, nature bestows its most wondrous beauty, and yin and yang divide day and night.

[Second-Tier Mid-Grade Dual-Combination Grand Array – Lesser Yin-Yang Creation Array!]

Yang Array—Three blazing suns suddenly appeared in the daytime sky.

For three days, countless golden rays of light emanated from the space, illuminating it with dazzling brilliance!

on the ground.

The female bandit, who had just used the power of shadow to conceal her figure, was immediately exposed when the light shone on her.

"Ahhhhh!!"

She let out a painful wail, and white smoke billowed from her body, as if a ghost had seen the blazing sun.

Dark spiritual roots are precisely what the Yang formation counters.

She's the one I'm waiting for!

Having lost her greatest support, the female bandit was like a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of Lu Zaian.

the other side.

Yin Formation—The male bandit's eyes are completely blacked out.

That was true, boundless darkness, a darkness that could devour even sight and consciousness...

Suddenly, a full moon rose in the sky, illuminating the surroundings.

Meanwhile, countless stars lit up the night sky, and it seemed as if the sound of rushing tides could be faintly heard...

No! That's not a star!!

The male soldier's pupils suddenly contracted.

Those were the tips of thousands of Water Moon Swords reflecting a cold light!

And that tide was a surging, ten-foot-high giant wave!

It seems to be drawn in by the full moon.

The power contained in the sword light and the giant wave surged wildly, assaulting his eyes and causing him to let out a desperate scream.

"Do not!!!"

.........

Once everything has calmed down.

The valley has regained its tranquility and harmony.

Because of the isolation provided by the Minor Yin-Yang Creation Array, not a single flower or blade of grass in the valley was affected by the battle, and they continued to bloom brilliantly in silence.

Besides the two storage bags in Lu Zaian's hands.

There is no further evidence that the male and female bandits ever came...

"Tsk tsk tsk... Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their bodies."

"No wonder they're two Foundation Establishment cultivators; their wealth is astounding!"

Lu Zaian, the main body, was inspecting the contents of the storage bag, and his old face couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Indeed, there are about 80,000 low-grade spirit stones alone, and nearly 100 mid-grade spirit stones."

The Nine Netherworld clone chuckled to himself.

It should be noted that these two bandits, male and female, do not have the same ability as Lu Zaian to make money by refining pills in the desolate city.

They amassed this much money through robbery alone.

It's clear just how many people they robbed and killed!

If it weren't for Lu Zaian's "superior skills", he would probably have lost... no, at most lost the clone he had cultivated for two and a half years.

In addition, the storage bag contained many spiritual materials, pills, magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and other items of varying grades...

Clearly, these were items that the two of them hadn't had time to dispose of.

Lu Zaian sorted them out into categories, making them much clearer.

There are even several types of second-tier materials, so the materials consumed in setting up the formation have now been recouped.

In the category of cultivation techniques, many are just trashy first-tier techniques.

These days, they don't even meet Lu Zaian's standards.

However, Lu Zaian was pleasantly surprised to find a jade slip containing the art of weapon crafting.

It must have come from an unlucky array master.

Although the jade slip only records the first-tier high-grade weapon-refining techniques.

But it still satisfied Lu Zaian.

Lu Zaian had always wanted to explore the art of weapon crafting, but he hadn't found a suitable way to do so.

Because the art of weapon crafting is as rare as the art of alchemy.

In the northern airspace, traditions are passed down discreetly and without anyone knowing...

Once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can refine and cultivate their own natal magic weapon.

But what magic weapon can be better than one made by yourself than one crafted by other weapon refiners?

Just like alchemy, there are many precious spiritual materials that one dares not easily show to others.

It's best to do it yourself.

On the other hand, Lu Zaian sometimes needs blank array plates to set up arrays, which are all made by weapon refiners.

In the art of formations, even a single flower, leaf, or grain of sand can be used to create an array.

From mountains and rivers to spiritual veins and feng shui, everything can be used as a formation.

However, sometimes it is necessary to set up in advance or to compress and release quickly, which requires the use of array plates.

For example, Lu Zaian once killed the fat monk and the witch.

It uses pre-engraved array plates, which instantly form an array.

These skills, though seemingly complex and tedious, occupied a portion of Lu Zaian's cultivation career.

But it also enhanced his underlying strength in a tangible way...

In addition, the cultivation technique also includes the second-tier low-grade "Earth Fire Flowing Flame Scripture" that the male bandit cultivated.

And the second-tier low-grade "Shadow Killing Technique" of the female bandit.

Both of these do have some value.

Especially "Shadow Killer".

Dark-type techniques that combine with dark spiritual roots are rare and special.

If sold, it would fetch at least twice the price of common techniques of the same level.

However, Lu Zaian recalled that his water elemental root was similar to the shadow elemental root in some ways...

For example, it can penetrate everywhere, and remain silent without making a move...

Therefore, Lu Zaian does not plan to sell "Shadow Killing Technique" for the time being.

Perhaps studying and drawing on this knowledge will be helpful to me.

In particular, the female bandit's ability to "shadow escape" was like that of an assassin, making it impossible for even one's divine sense to detect her true location.

If it weren't for the power of the formation later on, it would have been really difficult to deal with her...

There's not much to say about the pills; most are first-grade, with a few being low-grade second-grade.

Now that Lu Zaian can refine second-grade low-level pills with pill patterns, he naturally looks down on them.

Moreover, he had a premonition that once his skills became more proficient, he could try to break through to become a mid-level second-tier alchemist.

Regarding magical artifacts, although the female bandit's Shadow Blade is a mid-grade second-tier magical artifact, it is not suitable for Lu Zaian.

The weapon that the male bandit hadn't had a chance to use was a second-tier low-grade fire blade magic weapon, which was also unsuitable for Lu Zaian.

The only option is to sell them all later.

However, the magical artifact they used to fly was a valuable item.

It is called the Flying Shuttle, a second-tier low-grade magic weapon.

Despite being a low-grade weapon, it excels in speed, even though it lacks offensive capabilities.

Whether it's activated by embedded spirit stones or by the cultivator's own magical power.

His speed is almost on par with that of a typical mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!

It was precisely because of this that the male and female bandits were able to catch up with the Nine Nether clone who had used the [Burning Blood Escape] technique.

"That's great! The Flying Shuttle combined with my Blood Burning Escape technique is really good at escaping..."
