My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, Phoenix Stone Beast.

After arriving at a remote and uninhabited place, Chen Sansi quietly checked his loot.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Horn was fully matured, capable of enhancing a True Power Warrior.

The Phoenix Stone Beast was five hundred years old, and upon returning, he would need to use the Bai Family's Divine Wood Spirit Liquid to accelerate its maturity to a thousand-year medicinal age.

In any case, both items were successfully obtained.

Next...

The only thing left within the target is the "Earth Spirit Purple Vine."

Of course, finding more precious resources is naturally a good thing, such as materials for crafting elixir pills to enhance cultivation, including heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Foundation Establishment Pills.

It's important to know, in a few years, there should be quite a few people waiting for Foundation Establishment in Sky Wall City, and by then, Foundation Establishment Pills will also be a big problem.

Since he wanted to oppose Heavenly Water, he naturally couldn't do it alone.

"Seven Kill Sect..."

Chen Sansi recalled the conversation he had heard earlier.

These Demon Cultivators seemed intent on attacking the Bai Family Ancestor.

However, as far as he knew, Bai Xifeng had been in long-term seclusion many years ago and hadn't stepped out of Dusk Valley again, the reason being fear of unexpected events while out, leaving the Bai family unprotected.

No matter what was hidden inside Dusk Valley, as long as Bai Xifeng was present, it would require a Golden Core Cultivator to solve it.

When a Golden Core Cultivator makes a move, it makes a big commotion, quickly causing a stir known across the land.

By then, who the item ends up with won't be decided by the Demon Suppression Department or the Seven Kill Sect.

Therefore...

They wanted to lure Bai Xifeng here to eliminate him.

But what should be used as bait?

Gold Essence Mud Sculpture!

Chen Sansi suddenly remembered.

Soon after the forbidden area opened, there was news that a "Demon Locust Tree Heart" and a "Gold Essence Mud Sculpture" appeared inside the two-layer secret realm.

The former helps a Foundation Establishment Cultivator condense a fake pill, while the latter can help a True Power Warrior forge a "Mud Sculpture Golden Body"!

Which is the Pseudo Golden Body Realm!

This makes sense!

Only a "Gold Essence Mud Sculpture" could lure Bai Xifeng in.

If the Bai family could produce a Martial Artist in the Golden Body Realm, it would be akin to having a bargaining chip, and naturally, the Demon Suppression Department or other forces wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"I must find a way to inform the Bai family members."

Chen Sansi pondered in his heart.

In the current situation, the Bai family is considered an ally, and he naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing. He immediately summoned a blue bird, ordering it to have someone leave the secret realm and head to Dusk Valley to report the news.

But if Bai Xifeng had already entered the forbidden area...

He feared he might be powerless to help, and judging from the earlier conversations, it was indeed too late.

Night Spring Pond.

This was where the Demon Sect set their ambush.

Chen Sansi didn't have the map of the two-layer forbidden area and wasn't sure where "Night Spring Pond" was; he could only search around.

Fortunately, there weren't many pond waters in the two-layer forbidden area, and he could see from a high altitude that there were only about three to five areas with ponds, so he began searching from east to west.

It didn't take much effort; just by the next morning, Chen Sansi confirmed he found the right place because...

Nearby high realm cultivators obviously increased!

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators, not to mention Mid to Late Stage True Power Warriors, were searching in groups nearby, wary of each other, clearly looking for some treasure.

Most of these cultivators were from outside Beiyang Dao, some were sect disciples, but most were foreign family cultivators and loose cultivators.

"I heard there have been quite a few third-tier treasures appearing around here, everyone must keep an eye out!"

"Yeah, Xu Family Master from Kuo Rock Dao successfully seized the Demon Locust Tree Heart and has now hurried back to form a fake pill under the protection of Spirit Silence Cave."

"Looks like the Xu family will have several more centuries of prosperity!"

"..."

"Nine Nether Blood Orchid!"

A cultivator noticed a small blood-red orchid by a puddle in front and was immediately overjoyed. But before he could approach, a figure arrived ahead of him and directly pocketed the Blood Orchid.

"Daoist, I found this item first; isn't it a bit unfair of you to take it?"

"Bullshit! Last time I found the Demon Locust Tree Heart first; how was it not mine?"

"That's because you lacked capability!"

"Oh? So, you think you're capable?"

"..."

"Dong——"

As the two argued, a third cultivator sneaked an attack on the one who collected the orchid, leading to more people joining in, causing a chaotic battle to break out suddenly.

Chen Sansi didn't participate and continued searching nearby, hoping to meet Bai Xifeng in advance to inform him to leave immediately.

Unfortunately, he couldn't manage to do so.

Since the Bai Family Ancestor dared to venture into the two-layer forbidden area, it showed he must have prepared in advance. How could he easily expose his identity?

Until the chaotic battle ended, countless cultivators had died.

The final owner of the Nine Nether Blood Orchid was a fat Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, though severely injured, quickly finding a self-deemed safe route, using the Invisibility Technique to leave.

"Chances are bleak..."

Chen Sansi slightly shook his head.

Through the Qi Observation Skill, he saw people already lurking in the shadows, waiting for the mantis to catch the cicada, with the yellow sparrow following behind, having already pursued him.

Only a few corpses and broken magic artifacts remained, instantly turning the place deathly silent.

Chen Sansi continued forward, discovering that the far-off broken stone tablet's surface was inscribed with a large "Night" and half of "Pond," with a gap just the size of a word in between.

Presumably, this was the "Night Spring Pond."

But there was no water in the pond in the distance; instead, it was dried up, whereas the surrounding ground was a wet swamp. Walking on it required lifting one's qi; otherwise, carelessly one could sink in.
