Cultivating immortals is a hard job

The Baiye Forest behind Lingyin Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a terrain like a small valley.

The ancient trees in the forest are towering, and the flowers around are clustered and fragrant, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The terrain between the Yaolin Qiongshu is steep, with strange rocks standing in rows, and cliffs everywhere.

After a day of tossing and turning, it was already sunset, and under the golden glow, it felt quite magnificent.

However, the group of people came here not to enjoy the scenery.

Many people were a little curious, and they didn’t know what treasure the Situ Patriarch had obtained that he had to come here to appreciate.

Of course, there were also some people who were vaguely uneasy, perhaps because they were in such an unfamiliar environment, which always made people wary.

This included the always suspicious Mo Xun.

But when everyone saw the guests from various sects and families standing around and coming to celebrate the birthday, they felt a lot more relieved.

I guess even if the Situ family had bad intentions, they would not offend so many sects.

Everyone in the crowd was talking quietly. Although their voices were low, they were noisy in the crowded valley.

The Situ family recruited people with the foundation-building matter. I guess the rare treasure must be related to this.

At this time, Mo Xun remembered something Zhang Quan told him that day.

It was said that the Situ family had found a way to build a foundation without the foundation-building pill. Could it be related to the rare treasure?

Everyone found different places to sit down and waited for more than an hour until it got dark. Everyone was a little anxious.

Mo Xun and Li Qingying leaned on a big rock. There were some other cultivators sitting around them.

Among the casual cultivators who came this time, there were all kinds of realms, from the third level of Qi Refining to the perfect Qi Refining.

Of course, their ages were also uneven, with the youngest being in their teens and the oldest in their fifties or sixties.

There were also quite a few older people. These people, without any chance, must have come here with a little bit of luck.

"Brother Mo, I feel like I'm about to break through!"

Mo Xun turned his head and glanced at Li Qingying. The little girl's face was filled with excitement.

If he remembered correctly, it had been less than half a year since Li Qingying's last advancement.

It seems that the bowl of wine just now has greatly improved the little girl.

Mo Xun smiled faintly and said a few words of encouragement.

To be honest, Li Qingying's qualifications are slightly better than his. Now that there is no shortage of elixirs, her cultivation is naturally faster than his.

Just as the two were chatting, someone suddenly shouted.

"Why are the people from the Situ family gone?"

Such an exclamation undoubtedly dropped a heavy bomb in the crowd.

Everyone's eyes began to look around. When they were sure that there was no one from the Situ family in the forest, their hearts sank immediately.

At this time, no matter how stupid they were, everyone understood that they were most likely ambushed by the Situ family.

The first to react, the foundation-building cultivators, were soaring into the sky with awe in their hearts, flying high on their swords.

But in the dark night, before they flew far, they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and could not move an inch.

The Qi-refining cultivators below saw this scene and were horrified and fled in all directions.

Speaking of escaping, Mo Xun was experienced. The moment he realized the danger, he had already pulled Li Qingying and chose a direction to go.

In his heart, he was shocked and couldn't believe that the Situ family dared to attack so many people at the same time. Was it to openly offend the whole world?

Besides, what was the intention of the Situ family to do this?

Most of the people who came here were a group of rootless and scattered cultivators. Even if they had some money and property, it was nothing to the wealthy Situ family.

Another very important point is that for those guests with a good background, isn't the Situ family afraid of being retaliated by the sect family?

At this moment, a foundation-building cultivator in the sky said with a gloomy face: "We have fallen into a trap. There is a formation blocking us here. Let's disperse and find a way out."

This person obviously has some influence among the guests. Dozens of long rainbows in the sky suddenly went in all directions.

The Qi-refining cultivators on the ground were much slower. They could only rely on their own abilities and run desperately with the crowd like headless flies.

There were at least one or two thousand Qi-refining casual cultivators going in the same direction as Mo Xun.

When a group of people came to the edge of the Hundred Leaf Forest, they happened to see all kinds of colorful clouds blooming not far away, and bursts of rumbling sounds came continuously, deafening, and even the earth trembled.

In the darkness, everyone looked closely and found that it was several foundation-building cultivators who were casting spells and attacking one place at the same time.

The place that was attacked seemed to have a thick curtain wall. Every time a gap was broken, it would quickly close again.

Seven or eight different magic weapons, including swords, halberds, magic staffs or long silks, were constantly flying in the air, illuminating the area within a radius of dozens of feet.

Without thinking too much, it was known that these foundation-building cultivators had found the weak point of the formation here and were working together to break the formation.

Although the casual cultivators were numerous, their realm was too low and they could not help much. For a while, they could only wait anxiously in place, hoping that those people could break the formation as soon as possible.

Although Mo Xun was also secretly anxious, he still had the mind to sigh at the strength of the foundation-building cultivators when he saw the momentum in the distance.

At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the moonless sky.

This laugh seemed to be in the sky, and it seemed to ring in everyone's ears.

The casual cultivators were immediately awed, and many of them looked at each other, or looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Even those foundation-building cultivators who broke the formation stopped their actions for a while and looked up at the sky.

"Brother Guiqi's Heavenly Demon Xuanyin Formation is indeed extraordinary!"

"Fellow Daoist Situ is too kind. It's just an unfinished formation with many flaws, but it's enough to trap these young ants!"

Hearing these two sentences, most people were both shocked and confused.

A tall and thin foundation-building cultivator in the distance frowned, and suddenly said with a surprised look: "Are you Guiqi from the Demon Star Sect?"

After this, only a few foundation-building cultivators changed their faces slightly.

The casual cultivators have always been shallow in knowledge, so naturally they don't know what the Demon Star Sect they mentioned is all about.

"Hehe, it seems that I am not an unknown person. In this place, there are actually people who know me."

The tall and thin cultivator said righteously: "I didn't expect that the Situ family dared to secretly communicate with the Nine Sects of the Demonic Path. Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"
