Immortal Path Space

Skinny Monkey led a group of people to roam over to this side, and when they saw the sign for the Library, they excitedly led the group inside.

However, as soon as they walked in, a foul stench assaulted their senses. Many Demonic Beasts had taken it as their lair, and the place was filled with nests constructed by these creatures, each one containing various oddities.

There were leftover bones, some miscellaneous ores, and even the excrement left behind by these Demonic Beasts outside their nests.

Upon entering, there was not a single clean spot to set foot.

What was even more infuriating was that these Demonic Beasts engaged in battles and scratching within this Library on a regular basis, causing the wooden shelves inside to collapse in disarray.

Jade Scrolls were scattered all around, mingling with the filth on the floor.

"Let's gather all the Jade Scrolls from the ground first and clean them up later when we return," Skinny Monkey instructed the team members beside him before heading upstairs.

The situation on the second floor was no better, with most of the Jade Scrolls scattered on the floor. The same held true for the third and fourth floors.

There was no other choice but to endure the disgust and collect everything before cleaning up.

Near the Chuyun Sect, several Demon Clan groups resided, and staying here for too long could lead to discovery by the Demon Clan.

Apart from Wang Hong and Skinny Monkey, the other places had also yielded some gains, albeit to varying degrees.

It seemed that Wang Hong's earlier stroke of luck had run out, as he spent the better part of a day wandering around the old Chuyun Sect site, finding nothing of value.

One day later, all the participants in this mission gathered in the square, each one brimming with excitement.

"We found the Chuyun Sect Alchemy chamber, and inside, there's a gigantic Alchemy Furnace! They say it's of the highest-grade Spiritual Weapon level," someone exclaimed.

"What's that compared to what we found in the refining tool room? We discovered several Spiritual Weapons!"

"Hahaha! You guys don't need to brag. Your gains couldn't possibly surpass ours. We stumbled upon the treasure room directly. Inside, there's an abundance of materials, Pills, Spiritual Weapons, Spirit Wine – everything piled up like small hills."

"You must be exaggerating. Chuyun Sect has been under the occupation of the Demon Clan for so long; how could the Sect's treasury still be intact?"

"I'm not kidding, because even after the Demon Clan took over, they continued to treat this place like a treasure trove. So, besides the items left behind by the Chuyun Sect, there are also various resources collected by Demonic Beasts, all stored here. We got lucky." ꞦåŊöᛒЁs

"Our team didn't find any valuable Spiritual Objects, but we did rescue hundreds of people. They were kept in large iron cages by Demonic Beasts, without clothing, treated like livestock," a cultivator said with a somewhat despondent tone.

"These Demonic Beasts deserve to die! During our search, we also saw many leftover human bones," the cultivator added angrily.

By this time, everyone had returned to the square and began registering their respective spoils of war. The cultivator in charge of registration converted these spoils into contribution points, which could then be used to exchange for various items.

In addition to their various spoils of war, this mission also resulted in the rescue of over five hundred Qi Cultivation cultivators.These people had been kept captive by the Demon Clan as a source of food, enduring years of fear, nervousness, and despair.

Now, having been rescued, they all knelt in the square to express their gratitude to Wang Hong and his group.

"It was just a coincidence that I saved you all; there's no need to be overly grateful. For now, I'll give each of you ten Spirit Stones, and you can find a secluded place to hide on your own," Wang Hong said to the rescued cultivators. Being fellow members of the Human Clan, he was willing to lend a helping hand in such circumstances.

"Kind sir! We are indebted to your life-saving grace and are willing to serve you in any way, even to the ends of the earth!"

"Yes! We are ready to work tirelessly for you."

One cultivator spoke, and others echoed similar sentiments.

They wanted to join Wang Hong's group partly to show their gratitude and partly because, after experiencing years of captivity, they had little sense of security. They felt safer sticking with Wang Hong's team.

Moreover, in their current situation, surviving as Qi Cultivation cultivators was no easy task.

Wang Hong thought for a moment. The cultivators from Mountain Valley had suffered losses in the recent battles, and these new additions would help replenish their numbers.

"Very well! Since you are determined, let me make it clear. Anyone who joins must obey orders. Disobedience will be met with severe consequences. If anyone wishes to back out, you can do so now."

After Wang Hong spoke, he waited in silence for a moment, but no one chose to leave at this critical juncture.

"Since no one is leaving, welcome to the team! We'll return to the valley together."

He then turned to Xu Lun and said, "Select some Magical Weapons from the spoils of war and distribute one to each of them."

With over five hundred additional Qi Cultivation cultivators, their traveling speed would be slower, and the chances of encountering Demonic Beasts on the way would increase. Therefore, it was necessary to provide them with some preparation, ensuring that each of them had a Magical Weapon was better than going unarmed.

Afterwards, he assigned Zhang Chunfeng to organize and divide the new recruits into teams and groups, making it less likely for confusion to occur during battles.

It took them several hours to deal with these administrative matters before they quietly retraced their steps along the route they had come from.

They couldn't help but admire the scouting team led by Liu Changsheng for finding such an easily traversable path. Despite their larger group and slower pace on the return journey, they did not encounter any large groups of Demonic Beasts and safely made it back to Mountain Valley.

Upon their return, the responsibility for managing the new recruits was handed over to Hu Jian.

The gains from the attack on the Chuyun Sect's old site were quite impressive. Their primary objective had been to find the three rare Spiritual Herbs needed for Golden Core Formation, and they had succeeded in finding them. Additionally, some of these herbs were mature and could be directly used for Pill refinement.

Together with the Spiritual Herbs previously planted in the Space, a portion of which had now matured, Wang Hong had enough materials to craft three sets of Alchemy ingredients.

However, Golden Core Formation Pills were considered third-tier Pills, and Wang Hong was currently only a second-tier Alchemist. He had never refined a third-tier Pill before.

Furthermore, he did not have any other third-tier Pill materials in his Space. Third-tier Spiritual Herbs were extremely rare and invaluable.

In the end, he had no other choice but to use the Golden Core Formation materials to refine Pills.

If other major Cultivation sects were to find out that Wang Hong had used Golden Core Formation materials for Pill refinement, it would undoubtedly provoke outrage and condemnation.
