The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Cao Rui was quite relieved about this signal tower in the palace.

Because not only was Wang Liang guarding here, but the three major sects would also regularly send cultivators to the palace. It can be said that this signal tower should be the safest one in Xiao State.

Wang Liang did not have many spirit stones, so naturally he did not recharge his spirit sound points.

Cao Rui patiently taught Wang Liang how to activate the signal tower, and told him how to connect and communicate with other signal towers.

Finally, he added his spirit sound jade pendant to Wang Liang as a friend for future contact.

After completing these, Cao Rui took a group of disciples from the Refining Academy to the next immortal cultivation position.

In this way, within a few days, Cao Rui quickly deployed signal towers in six immortal cultivation positions.

This includes not only Changyuan Xiuxianfang, but also other Xiuxian families who have expressed their willingness to accept and place signal towers, and finally successfully completed the deployment work.

At present, only the location of the last Xiuxian family has not been covered. Once the signal tower layout at this point is completed,

it will be possible to achieve interconnection between all the Xiuxian forces in Xiaoguo. Next, only a few more key nodes need to be arranged to successfully complete the signal tower layout task in Xiaoguo.

At noon that day, the sun was shining and the wind was gentle.

The sky was as blue as a gem, with no clouds in the sky.

Cao Rui led ten disciples from the Refining Academy, driving flying mounts, and came to the last Xiuxian force in Xiaoguo at lightning speed.

The Xiuxian force here is called the Wu family, one of the six major Xiuxian families in Xiaoguo, and is very famous in the vicinity.

The highest level of cultivation in this family is the head of the family, Wu Tong, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. This level of cultivation is nothing in the Spirit Beast Sect, but it is already quite good among the immortal cultivation forces and casual cultivators in Xiao State.

The family building of the Wu family is built outside the city of the people. It is similar to a manor, magnificent, solemn and majestic, like a solid fortress.

When Cao Rui and ten disciples flew over with the spirit birds, their figures were like meteors across the sky, attracting the attention of everyone in the Wu family.

The disciples of the Wu family rushed over after hearing the news and looked up at the sky, with expressions of surprise and awe on their faces.

They had never seen so many powerful cultivators.

The big sects and these ordinary immortal cultivation forces are completely two different worlds of cultivators.

After hearing the news, the head of the Wu family, Wu Tong, immediately led the disciples in the family to meet them.

He was wearing a green robe, about sixty years old, with a thin face.

Behind Wu Tong followed a group of elite Wu family disciples, who were also Qi Refining cultivators.

Cao Rui and ten disciples slowly landed in front of the Wu family's courtyard. Compared with the Wu family disciples, their momentum was as steady as a mountain, giving people an unshakable feeling.

This is the sense of oppression that the disciples of the big sect bring to ordinary cultivators.

Wu Tong walked up quickly and saluted Cao Rui, saying: "Welcome to the seniors of the Spirit Beast Sect. I wonder what you seniors have to do for the small Wu family?"

Wu Tong was knowledgeable and recognized the clothes of the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect.

At Cao Rui's signal, Chen Rui stepped forward to explain to him the arrangement of the signal tower and its interests.

Like other Xiaoguo's immortal cultivation families, Wu Tong also ignored the matter of recharging Lingyin points to become an agent.

He immediately expressed his willingness to help place the signal tower.

It seems that everything is going well again.

Cao Rui also left the signal tower and a Lingyin jade pendant and left.

Watching Cao Rui and his group leave.

Wu Tong's eyes gradually turned cold.

He quickly returned to his own secret room.

He took out a communication array disk, put in a few spiritual stones, and activated the communication array disk.

After the array disk paused slightly, a human face condensed. This person turned out to be the master of refining weapons of Yunshui Sect - Gongsun Zhi!

"Wu Tong, why do you contact me?" Gongsun Zhi was busy studying how to perfectly replicate the Lingyin jade pendant recently, and his tone sounded a little impatient.

"Elder Gongsun, someone from the Lingshou Sect came today and gave me a signal tower and a permanent version of the Lingyin jade pendant."

"Signal tower? What is it?" Gongsun Zhi asked.

Wu Tong brought the signal tower over and let Gongsun Zhi look at it.

Through the communication array, Gongsun Zhi looked at the signal tower and quickly recognized that this was a first-level magic weapon. The magic array engraved on it should be a first-level communication.

"Such a signal tower, the price of making it is at least three or four thousand spirit stones, and the Spirit Beast Sect gave it to you so generously?" Gongsun Zhi said with some disbelief.

Wu Tong nodded and told Gongsun Zhi what Cao Rui said.

"So it's the signal tower of the Lingyin Jade Pendant. If you activate this thing, the signal of the Lingyin Jade Pendant can be transmitted here?"

"You want to use the signal tower to expand the communication function of the Lingyin Jade Pendant, which is worth only one spirit stone, to the entire Yunzhou? The Spirit Beast Sect is really a big deal."

"So, Wu Tong, you send the signal tower to me now."

"The Lingyin Jade Pendant is already one step behind, and this signal tower can't be behind again." Gongsun Zhi said.

Wu Tong nodded respectfully. After the communication array was closed, Wu Tong immediately decided to leave Yunshui Sect and give the signal tower to Gongsun Zhi.

However, Wu Tong just turned around and saw a figure standing quietly behind him.

"I originally thought that the close relationship between the Wu family and Yunshui Sect was just a rumor and could not be trusted."

"Now it seems that there is indeed something groundless." Cao Rui calmly looked at Wu Tong, whose expression changed drastically.

'Plop!' Wu Tong did not have the spirit of a cultivator, and knelt down directly to Cao Rui.

"Master Cao, please forgive me, Wu Tong. I am related to Yunshui Sect for the survival and prosperity of my family. I don't really want to have any dealings with Yunshui Sect." Wu Tong burst into tears.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Get up, I don't blame you."

"Master Cao, do you really mean this?" Wu Tong stood up, his eyes flashing with hope.

Cao Rui nodded, stared into Wu Tong's eyes, and a cone of divine thorns had already been shot.

With Cao Rui's current terrifying spiritual power, the cone of divine thorns was shot, and Wu Tong, who was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, had his soul exploded, and he collapsed silently, losing his breath.

"You are dying, why blame you?"

Cao Rui made a move, and the signal tower fell into his hands.

Outside, as Cao Rui's spiritual sense transmitted the sound, the sound of one-sided fighting sounded.

The ten disciples of the Refining Academy were all in the late stage of Qi Refining, and with the help of spiritual birds, it was easy to kill the small Wu family.

Not long after, all the Wu family cultivators were killed.

Cao Rui used the black feather to rise above the Wu family manor, waved his hand, and the snake technique danced down, igniting the entire Wu family manor and turning it into ashes.

"Choose a suitable location nearby and start building the first node base." Cao Rui looked at the flames below and spoke softly.

"Yes!" All the disciples of the Refining Academy responded in unison.
