Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 37

Ch 37: It’s you! Don’t run!

Dan Peak, inside the cave abode.

Wei Xing frantically refined many magazines, and after loading all of the more than 20,000 bullets in the storage bag into the magazines, he said helplessly, “This time I’m going, my strength is low, so it’s important to protect my life.”

Seeing that Dan Wu’s Dao breath was already complete, and Master had also rewarded him with a protective magic weapon, but he had nothing, he was even more worried.

Wei Xing also went to the Trading Pavilion to exchange for a protective item for himself in the Mid-Dao Breath stage—it was a protective cover called ‘Spirit Light Cover’. It was a magical artifact in the Mid-Dao Breath stage, shaped like a round bead, about the size of a palm. With his level of spiritual power, he could barely open it, and when opened, it could withstand a blow from the Late-Dao Breath realm.

Looking at the protective cover in front of him, he felt a pang of heartache: “All the contribution points accumulated through more than a year of desperate efforts have been emptied. It seems that even if ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators want to survive, it is not a simple matter.”

“Well, fortunately, I only need to open it with spiritual power, and there is not much continuous input of spiritual power afterwards, so it can be considered a life-saving object,” Wei Xing sighed.

Three days later, inside Qingyun Temple, Central Peak, disciples from the six peaks gathered in the square.

The red-clothed Fairy Yan Hong stood in mid-air in front of everyone, passionately saying: “The thieves of the Secluded Dao Sect slaughtered the disciples of our sect. Today, you are fortunate enough to follow this Emissary to kill the thieves. I hope you all will do your best to kill the thieves this time. Those who make outstanding contributions, whether it is cultivation methods, materials, or Dual Cultivation Fairies, this Emissary can agree to. Those who are timid and run away in battle will be beheaded!”.

As soon as these words came out, it caused a commotion. Below were all outstanding disciples from various peaks. Naturally, some people wanted to go to the next level, so they heard a voice coming from below: “Fairy Yan Hong, can Qi Refining Stage cultivation methods also be rewarded? Many of us have already entered the Great Perfection of Dao Breath. The cultivation methods you mentioned earlier are naturally more interesting to Qi Refining Stage cultivation methods. We don’t want to fight to the death and come back to get some perfunctory Dao Breath substandard cultivation methods!”.

After hearing this, Yan Hong made a guarantee: “If you can kill the enemy, Qi Refining Stage cultivation methods are naturally not a problem. I will apply to the sect myself.”

At this time, Wei Xing saw Jian San of Sword Peak stand up and say: “Immortal Envoy, Sword Peak has sent the most people this time. If we return victoriously, Immortal Envoy, don’t forget our Sword Peak and the matter of the Qi Refining Stage Spirit Sword.”

Yan Hong nodded and said to everyone: “Let’s go, Qingyun Mountain Range, to strangle the bandits!”.

Wei Xing stood among the crowd, quietly watching all this.

A total of more than thirty people, Yan Hong took out the sect’s Flying Boat and led the sect members towards the Qingyun Mountain Range.

Qingyun Mountain Range, inside an unknown cave, an old Taoist suddenly woke up from his meditation, watching the Dao Compass in his hand swaying wildly from side to side, and said in horror to the six Taoists below: “The Dao Compass is warning, leave quickly! Leave this place quickly!”.

Hearing this, several people surrounded the old Taoist and were about to leave.

“Thieves, you can’t run away, why don’t you surrender!”, a Flying Boat was seen speeding through the sky and stopped abruptly in front of several Taoists. Yan Hong stood at the bow of the boat and shouted condescendingly: “Old Taoist Xuan Yun, where do you want to escape?”.

After saying that, she put away the Flying Boat, and more than thirty disciples from Qingyun Temple quickly surrounded the seven people in the middle.

The Taoists at the entrance of the cave looked at each other, and the old Taoist suddenly said: “Everyone, this leading Enchantress is in the Mid-Qi Refining Stage, leave her to me. You have not yet reached the Qi Refining Stage. Later, escape in different directions, and don’t engage in battle. Escape as soon as possible, and be sure to preserve the seeds of my Dao!”.

“Demon, it’s good that you came today, I’ll use you to start”, he said, but the old Taoist threw out several talismans in all directions. Only a few “rumbling sounds” were heard, and the talismans exploded, blasting out rolling thunder and lightning, directly scattering the surrounding team.

With just one move, the team of more than thirty people was instantly disrupted, and five or six unlucky guys in the Mid-Dao Breath realm without protective treasures died on the spot!

Wei Xing stood not far from Yan Hong. The impact here was completely dissipated by the woman’s sleeve. Seeing that several people were killed in just a breath, the woman shouted angrily: “Xuan Yun, you really have guts! You’re courting death!”.

Wei Xing then realized that the imposing old Taoist not far in front of him was called Xuan Yun.

Immediately, Yan Hong commanded the remaining people: “The information is wrong! That old Taoist has actually broken through to the Mid-Qi Refining Stage. Leave him to me, I will hold him back. The rest of you go and catch the remaining thieves. If necessary, you can kill them all!”.

Then she turned to Wei Xing and said, “Find a place to hide, and wait for me to find you.”

Wei Xing nodded, followed the crowd, hanging far behind the tail, and found a big tree to hide behind.

After receiving the order, the Qingyun Temple people prepared to re-form the formation and prepare to encircle.

Seeing that his attack was successful and that the other party was preparing to encircle again, the Old Taoist Xuan Yun hurriedly said to everyone: “What are you still doing? If you don’t leave now, when will you!”.

Taking advantage of the gap, several Taoists at the entrance of the cave fled directly in all directions, each with a team of Qingyun Temple chasing after them.

Then the old Taoist rose into the air and stood opposite Yan Hong, and the two began to fight.

“Boom, boom” a series of thunderclaps came, and the old Taoist’s thunder technique was so skilled that he pinched the magic, and thick white lightning bolts shot towards Yan Hong.

“You man-eating Demons, today I will bring you to justice! Act on behalf of Heaven and avenge the dead Grand Masters!”.

The old Taoist named Xuan Yun looked at the red-clothed woman, wishing he could eat her flesh and drink her blood!

“Profound Thunder Orthodox Method!” After the old Taoist finished speaking, he shouted again, and the thunder just now became thicker again. The thunderbolts combined to form huge tentacles, heading towards the red-clothed woman.

Seeing this terrifying thunder, Yan Hong was not worried: “I’ve been waiting for you!”.

Yan Hong took out a small purple shield, constantly changing the magic in her hand, and shouted: “Rise!”

The shield instantly became larger, with purple light and shadow attached to the surface, like a copper wall and iron wall blocking in front of the woman. The thunder poured down, and the surface of the shield made a series of loud “crackling” sounds, but the purple shield still stubbornly resisted the thunder.

“Old Man Xuan Yun, so what if you break through to the Mid-Qi Refining Stage, this grandma is not afraid of you” Yan Hong mocked from behind the shield, and then said: “Now that you have shown off your power, try this move too”

Yan Hong was in the air, her clothes fluttering, chanting non-stop, and a series of promiscuous sounds came out, like lewd music, like a lost sound, heading towards the old Taoist.

Seeing the woman insulting him so much, the old Taoist cursed: “Enchantress, how dare you try to ruin my Dao heart! You’re courting death!”.

Then the two of them fought together, with red mist filling the air from time to time, lightning flying, and the sounds of fighting echoing one after another.

Wei Xing looked at the figures coming and going in the sky, and knew that the battle would not end for a while, so he looked at the battle below.

Although the thirty people from Qingyun Temple were divided into six teams to encircle people fleeing in different directions, five people to encircle one person, it was just that the other party seemed to be better at fighting. Everyone frequently used methods such as talismans, sword techniques, and formations. For a time, the two sides were chasing and escaping, and no one could do anything to the other.

What Wei Xing didn’t expect was that one person was coming straight towards him!

The five people chasing behind shouted: “Quick, stop him!”.

Wei Xing took a closer look, and the person who came was the swindler he had met before, who first swindled his silver, and then snatched an object from him in the general store of Qingyuan Prefecture, and wanted to sell it back to him for ten times the price!

Seeing him, Wei Xing became angry, and immediately wanted to give him a shot, but before he could do anything, he saw the other party pinch the magic and throw out a cyan small bell, which slowly turned into a giant bell and smashed towards him!

Looking at the cyan giant bell smashing down, Wei Xing’s pupils instantly enlarged, and he quickly urged his protective magical artifact—the Spirit Light Cover, to cover himself.

Just as Wei Xing covered himself, he heard a “clang” sound, and the giant bell smashed on the cover, sending him flying several meters.

“Damn you, if I hadn’t been well prepared, I would have been killed by you” Wei Xing cursed, clutching his aching chest.

The other party took back the small bell, and then reacted, surprised: “It’s you?”, and then no longer stayed, and fled into the distance.

Wei Xing saw his small bell and recognized it. It was the cyan small bell that he had snatched from him in the general store before!

Seeing that this small bell had such power, Wei Xing felt a burst of regret and anger in his heart: “Alas, it was snatched away by this brat! It’s fine to snatch my things, but he even used it to smash me! Don’t run!”.

Then, unable to bear it, Wei Xing followed the five people and chased after him.
