Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 66 Recovering the County
When Shen Zhirui negotiated a profitable business for the family, Shen Xiangchi, the patriarch, had already arrived in the sky above the county seat.

Looking at the ruined walls under his feet, he also sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the prosperous county town in the past had been completely reduced to ruins.

At this moment, two auras flew quickly from the sky, and they arrived in front of Shen Xiangchi in a blink of an eye.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't come here unharmed."

With the disappearance of the light, Su Xingshi, who was dressed in a gray robe, appeared, bowed his hands to Shen Xiangchi and said with a smile.

And behind him was Zhai Yangyu, who had come with him earlier. After being taught by the former, he also put away his arrogance and dared not despise Shen Xiangchi anymore.

"Friend Su, fellow Daoist Zhai!"

On this side, Shen Xiangchi also bowed slightly to the two of them in return.

After the simple exchange of greetings, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators turned their gazes to the county town at their feet in unison, with different expressions on their faces.

"I didn't expect a good county town to be destroyed like this!"

Looking at the ruins of the county town that had experienced the double destructive blow of the sandworm attack and the river flood, Su Xingshi said with a heartbroken heart.

As the oldest foundation-building cultivator in Xuanling Sect, he clearly knows how much resources the sect has invested in this county.

The original Shayu County did not have a second-order spiritual vein, and Xuanlingmen spent a lot of resources to upgrade the spiritual vein here to the second-rank low-grade, and built a city on this spiritual vein.

After hundreds of years of painstaking efforts, Shayu County has achieved the grand scale that can be seen today.

However, a sandworm riot not only caused Xuanlingmen to lose a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, but also directly destroyed the county town that was painstakingly managed.

"Master, this is the end of the matter, the most important thing for us right now is to kill the second-order sandworms gathered here as soon as possible, otherwise the spiritual vein under the county will completely collapse."

After hearing this, Su Xingshi immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, without further ado, let's do it now!"

As soon as the words fell, he took out a simple array disk from his arms, and immediately threw it directly into the sky.

As he continued to pinch out the spells in his hand, a blue light curtain was released from the array, and soon enveloped the entire county.

Looking at the large light curtain covering the sky above his head, Shen Xiangchi's pupils couldn't help trembling slightly.

As expected, Xuanlingmen is an old-fashioned foundation-building force. When it makes a move, it becomes a second-order confinement spirit formation, and the range of the formation is enough to cover the entire Shayu County.

"With this large confinement formation, those second-order sandworms below here will definitely not be able to escape."

While the three of them were talking, Su Xingshi took out three more talismans that emitted a khaki-yellow dazzling light from his storage bag.

"This is the second-order [Earth Escape Talisman]. After being activated, it can move freely underground for a quarter of an hour, so we must get rid of the second-order sandworms underground during this time."

Shen Xiangchi took one of the talismans from the former, and felt the special spiritual power contained in it the moment he took it.

And what he originally practiced was the soil attribute technique, and he has a very intimate feeling for this special earth attribute spiritual power.

"Get ready to do it!"

The three people standing in the air first glanced at each other, and then simultaneously activated the [Earth Escape Talisman] in their hands.

I saw that the magic talismans in their hands suddenly burst into bright light, enveloping the bodies of the three of them.

The next moment, the three of them turned into three auras and plunged towards the ground, and disappeared suddenly when they touched the ground.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Xiangchi had already entered the ground, and the yellow light covering his whole body allowed him to move freely underground, even when encountering hard rocks, he could easily pass through.

While advancing underground, he was also carefully feeling the wonderful feeling of traveling underground, as if his whole body was integrated with the earth.

This kind of special perception has unexpected benefits for Shen Xiangchi, who is practicing the earthen exercises.

But soon he found the tunnel where the sandworms crawled, and dozens of first-order sandworms in the tunnel suddenly attacked him like mad dogs.

Seeing this situation, Shen Xiangchi didn't pause at all, and the broken sword in his hand immediately swung several sharp sword lights.

The criss-crossing sword energy immediately converged into a sharp sword net, leaving countless broken limbs wherever it passed.

In just a moment, the dozens of first-order sandworms attacking him were completely eliminated.

Shen Xiangchi didn't even have time to collect the stones left by these first-order sandworms, so he immediately followed the tunnel to the depths of the ground.

Not long after, a huge second-tier low-grade sandworm came towards him.

"Good come!"

Facing the sandworm that was countless times bigger than himself, Shen Xiangchi was not afraid at all, and immediately pinched out a series of spells with his left hand.

I saw that the sand and stones around this sandworm began to change instantly, and sharp stone thorns attacked its huge body.

At the same time, all the spiritual power in his body was poured into the broken sword, and mysterious lines flashed on the originally simple sword immediately, as if there was a clear and crisp sound of the sword.

"cut!"

Following his angry shout, the broken sword in his hand swung out, and a cyan sword glow several feet long fell on the second-order sandworm with lightning speed.

"Boom."

All of a sudden, the entire underground passage collapsed violently, and terrifying fluctuations of spiritual power swept away.

When everything returned to calm, the surroundings were already in chaos, and the second-order sandworm had already been pierced by the terrifying sword glow.

Shen Xiangchi came to the side of the sandworm's corpse in a flash, and took the huge stone in his body into his bag.

At this moment, he felt violent fluctuations in the distance, so he immediately rushed in that direction.

When he arrived, he saw Su Xingshi in a gray robe fighting two second-order sandworms.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I'm here to help you!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Xiangchi waved the broken sword in his hand and met one of the second-order sandworms.

On this side, Su Xingshi couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief when he saw the former coming to support him.

You must know that although he didn't fall into a disadvantage in the fight with the two second-order sandworms, he couldn't eliminate them in a short time.

The most important thing is that the time of the [Earth Escape Talisman] is limited, if he can't destroy the two sandworms in a short time, then he will fall into a passive state.

With Shen Xiangchi joining the battlefield, the pressure on Su Xingshi was greatly reduced, and after a few rounds, he eliminated the second-order sandworm he was fighting with.

Almost at the same time, Shen Xiangchi also eliminated his opponent, and then the two immediately headed towards the direction where Zhai Yangyu was fighting.

Under the joint efforts of the three foundation-building monks, the second-order sandworms entrenched in this second-order spiritual vein were completely strangled, a large number of first-order sandworms died tragically, and only a few escaped by chance.
