My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Ancient pill recipe...

Chen Sansi quickly browsed through its contents.

Not only were there Foundation Establishment Realm recipes, but even Golden Body Realm ones, all from ancient times!

In the Cultivation World, "ancient pill recipes" are rare treasures. Although the refining conditions are more stringent, if one can successfully refine them, the effects will far exceed ordinary elixir pills.

If he can refine several types of Foundation Establishment stage pills from this, it will greatly benefit the improvement of his cultivation.

This was an unexpected reward.

Chen Sansi stored the jade scroll in his pouch and found a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures that, although dried, still retained some spiritual properties.

From start to finish, the blind woman remained unmoved; she seemed to have a very clear goal and showed no interest in anything else.

"Shall we go?"

Chen Sansi put away his things: "Let's take another path."

The two retraced their steps, confirmed there were no ambushing fierce beasts, returned to the fork in the road, and chose a new path.

"This way."

After hesitating for a moment, the blind woman selected a path adjacent to the original passage.

Shortly after, the two emerged empty-handed.

"..."

Chen Sansi leaned on his long spear, gazing at the blind woman.

"This way."

Jiang Xiyue took the lead again.

Chen Sansi silently followed.

This time, they finally found the right place.

Following the passage all the way forward, after walking about five hundred steps, the surrounding environment opened up, revealing a dojo constructed of white jade stone ahead.

In the western corner, where the Daoist was, there was a pool of water. On both sides were soils the color of fiery red maple leaves, growing various spirit plants, all of which were second-tier and above.

Moreover, their types were very rare. Many were spiritual objects needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, while others were heavenly materials and earthly treasures for opening Jing Shen!

Jingshen Fruit, Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, Undying Grass, the three spirit plants were all present.

Chen Sansi roughly estimated that if he took all the spirit plants from here, it would be enough to refine no less than ten Foundation Establishment Pills and cultivate over a dozen True Power Warriors.

If such a large force were acquired, excluding external Golden Cores, they would undeniably be a dominant presence in Beiyang Dao.

Yet among all the spirit plants, the most conspicuous was a crimson lotus flower in the pool, emanating a brilliant red spirit light in the deathly silent dojo.

Before this, Chen Sansi had never seen this lotus flower mentioned in any records, so he was unaware of its specific grade and use.

"Everything but that one is yours."

Jiang Xiyue's cold voice rang out.

"No problem."

Chen Sansi understood; it seemed this was the true purpose of her journey.

He owed the woman a favor. Helping her was repaying that favor, and without her, he wouldn't have found this place.

Therefore, he had no intention to compete for the unknown spirit plant.

However...

To reach the side of the pool, they must pass through the dojo, and in the center of the dojo, one person was sitting cross-legged on a mat.

From his appearance, this person was in his sixties, with greying temples and wrinkled skin. He was meditating with his eyes closed, forming a hand seal.

In front of him were numerous scattered corpses.

Among the corpses were both martial and magic cultivators, most unable to withstand the Golden Core Realm, yet all died from direct sword soldier injuries.

The surfaces of these corpses, as well as the elderly man's body, bore the signs of Corpse Puppet Demon Vine, indicating they were all dead and parasitized.

"Buzz——"

Every few breaths, a spirit light would flash from the old man's chest, beating like a heart, endlessly.

"All Laws Forbidden."

Chen Sansi could clearly sense it.

The law of all laws forbidden, and even the boundary of the entire forbidden land, were closely linked to whatever was in the old man's chest.

It seemed.

This old man, tens of thousands of years ago, used some method to lay down this boundary, then activated the "all laws forbidden" restriction in the cave mansion, slaughtering single-handedly all these high realm cultivators who should have been dominant forces in the Cultivation World.

This showed the old man was a very strong martial artist, as there were many martial cultivator corpses here.

"No wonder..."

Chen Sansi recalled the scenes he'd encountered earlier.

No wonder those high realm cultivators' residual souls, one by one, were extremely frightened and fled this place.

Such a way of dying was so stifling...

Even if you were a Divinity Transformation cultivator, regardless of your great skills, under the state of "all laws forbidden," you could still die at the hands of a bare-handed ordinary person!

"Can you beat him?"

Jiang Xiyue suddenly asked.

"..."

Chen Sansi examined more closely, noticing that embedded in the white jade stone slab on the old man's left side was a shimmering flying sword, while on the right side was a purely metallic long spear, identical to his favored weapon.

His Qi Observation Skill was unusable, so he couldn't discern the remaining strength of his opponent.

But in the state of all laws forbidden, ultimately it would come down to pure martial arts.

He said, "This is why you brought me here, right?"

The blind woman was a magic cultivator, her martial arts not exceptional. Coupled with some recent battle scars in the surroundings, it indicated she'd already failed once.

Jiang Xiyue didn't speak, effectively acknowledging it.

"Alright, I'll give it a try."

Chen Sansi, holding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, cautiously bypassed the ancient corpses and slowly walked forward.

Upon stepping within ten steps, the elder's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, revealing cloudy and vacant pupils.

He rose, drew the long spear and sword, slightly lowering his body, the spear across his waist, sword raised overhead, assuming a martial stance. He didn't act rashly, opting instead to wait quietly.
