Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

One after another, streaks of Escape Light flew in from the distance and landed on the Flying Boat. In a short time, the vessel gained five more Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Among the five new Foundation Establishment Cultivators, two were indeed Zhang Yu and Tuoba Tie. The other three were a tall and handsome bald monk, a female cultivator wearing a gray Robe with a rather ordinary appearance, and a beautiful female cultivator in a goose-yellow Robe, with a willowy figure, her hair done up in a cascading bun, an oval face, and who was extremely beautiful.

As soon as everyone had arrived, Xiahou Zhenyu set about introducing them. Stay connected through empire

The bald monk was Cui Qing, the ordinary-looking female cultivator was Qian Li, and the beautiful female cultivator with the oval face was Wei Yahui.

Among them, Cui Qing, Qian Li, Wei Yahui, and Zhao Yu had all joined Dan Ling Sect after the end of the war between the Five Sects.

Zhao Yu and the other six Foundation Establishment Cultivators were the Guardians of this fleet of Flying Boats.

Streams of Spiritual Light shimmered, and the thirty-two Spirit Boats twinkled with light as they took flight, heading towards the Canglong Mountains.

On the flagship Spirit Boat, the seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered together, chatting and conversing about all topics under the sky.

Cui Qing said, "Brother Zhao, I see you're short on manpower. How about I assign three ships of people to you? With three more ships, you could occupy a patch of Spiritual Land, establish a Foundation Establishment family, be revered as an ancestor—isn't that a delightful thought?"

Zhao Yu candidly replied, "I've only just advanced to Foundation Establishment, my foundation is not yet stable, and I haven't even perfected the Soaring Cloud Technique. Plus, I don't have many suitable Spiritual Artifacts at hand. I plan to cultivate in the Market at Xiao Yuan Mountain for thirty years to solidify my foundation before considering other things."

Xiahou Zhenyu laughed and said, "Brother Zhao speaks very wisely! You've just advanced to Foundation Establishment, so stabilizing your foundation is indeed the best strategy!"

While everyone was chatting, the Spirit Boat entered the Canglong Mountains.

Accompanied by the cry of an eagle, a Second-Order Low-grade Demon Beast, the Iron Feather Giant Eagle with wings extending up to thirty feet and a body as dark as iron, flew in from a distance, diving towards the fleet.

"Iron Feather Giant Eagle, what a beast! Leave this Demon Beast to me! I'll capture this creature to accompany my drink!"

Xiahou Zhenyu's eyes lit up, as he turned into a streak of Escape Light and flew out from the fleet. With a wave of his hand, a silver rope flew out from his sleeve.

The silver rope swelled in the wind, turning into a ten-foot-long silver cord that struck towards the Iron Feather Giant Eagle like a serpent, swiftly binding the bird tightly.

The Iron Feather Giant Eagle struggled frantically, making the silver rope quiver continuously.

"Go!"

Xiahou Zhenyu summoned a green Magic Sword, which became a green sword light that wrapped around the neck of the Iron Feather Giant Eagle and in an instant, the eagle's head was sliced in half. The creature was then entwined by the silver rope and carried back to the Flying Boat.

Wei Yahui smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Xiahou is indeed capable! The Iron Feather Giant Eagle is a formidable enemy among the Second-Order Low-grade Demon Beasts, and yet it couldn't withstand three moves from you. You are truly impressive!"

Xiahou Zhenyu modestly replied with a laugh, "It was just luck!"

Soon after the Iron Feather Giant Eagle had died, a flock of Chishui Man-Eating Sparrows, with wings around three feet wide and bodies the color of blood, resembling blood clouds, flew towards the fleet.

"Brother Xiahou, allow me to take care of this flock of Chishui Man-Eating Sparrows!"

With a light laugh, Cui Qing brought out a Pill Furnace with nine incense sticks inserted in it. The fragrance wafted through the air, turning into strands of smoky serpents that lunged at the blood cloud formed by the flock of Chishui Man-Eating Sparrows.

The flock of Bloodthirsty Sparrows were stunned by the Smoke Snake's assault, one by one falling into a fainted—each wrapped up by the Smoke Snake and brought before Cui Qing.

Cui Qing, looking at the group of Bloodthirsty Sparrows, revealed a satisfied smile.

The flock of Bloodthirsty Sparrows numbered over a hundred. Although they were only second-rate First-Order demon beasts, even if sold directly at the Market, this group of Bloodthirsty Sparrows could be sold for several hundred Spirit Stones.

In other regions of the Northern Desolate, demon beasts had almost been wiped out by humans, with only the likes of Dan Ling Sect and four other Great Sects, as well as some Foundation Establishment families, breeding some demon beasts.

Only in undeveloped perilous territories like the Canglong Mountain Ranges would there be so many demon beasts for cultivators to hunt. Therefore, many cultivators from the Four Northern Territories eager to advance further would search for resources within the Canglong Mountain Ranges.

Of course, with the Canglong Mountain Ranges hosting a large number of demon beasts, there were also powerful Second-Order demon beasts and even Third-Order demon beasts comparable to Golden Core ancestors. Every year, many human cultivators fall within the Canglong Mountain Ranges, including no small number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

More flocks of flying demon beasts were drawn to the fleet, and several Foundation Establishment Cultivators rushed to slay these creatures. Zhao Yu was happy to remain idle, staying put.

By evening, those Flying Boats landed around the Market near the Thirteen Cities of Mortals, unloading a great number of mortals who dispersed into the cities.

Zhao Yu and seven other Foundation Establishment Cultivators traveled by Flying Boat to the Market.

"Elder Brother Xiahou, who might these fellow Daoists be?"

Just as the Flying Boat landed, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a burly stature, a square face, large ears, and a full beard, approached Zhao Yu and the others eagerly.

"Brother Huo, these are new members who have joined our sect. Let me introduce them to you!"

Xiahou Zhenyu then began the introductions.

The bearded Foundation Establishment Cultivator was none other than Huo Canghai, the leader of the Dan Ling Sect's enforcement team at the Market.

Huo Canghai was very enthusiastic, inviting everyone to the best restaurant in the Market, Yunxiang Building, for a banquet.

After the third round of drinks,

Zhao Yu said, "Brother Huo, I'm looking to open a shop here in the Market to sell Spirit Pills. I hope for your support in the future."

Huo Canghai's eyes lit up as he replied, "Junior Brother, you're skilled in alchemy? Could you perhaps refine Spirit Pills that can increase the mana of Foundation Establishment Cultivators?"

The gazes of the other six Foundation Establishment Cultivators also fell on Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I am currently only able to refine top-grade First-Order Spirit Pills. I'm studying how to refine the Triple Snake Pattern Pill, which can enhance the mana of those at Early Foundation Establishment. If any of you brothers manage to obtain materials for the Triple Snake Pattern Pill, feel free to come look for me in the Market. I will surely offer you brothers a good price."

Apart from Zhang Yu and Xiahou Zhenyu, the remaining four carried a flicker of eagerness in their eyes.

Spirit Pills capable of increasing the mana of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were rare, and in the Northern Desolation, even with Spirit Stones in hand, such treasures were hard to come by. Dan Ling Sect naturally had Triple Snake Pattern Pills, but acquiring these Spirit Pills required the expenditure of vast amounts of sect contributions.

Huo Canghai said with a beaming face, "Good, good, good! Junior Brother Zhao, I will definitely find you a shop with the best location. I have also accumulated a considerable amount of materials for the Triple Snake Pattern Pill. In the future, if you can refine such pills, make sure to sell them to me! I'll definitely give you a good price!"

Although Huo Canghai was the leader of Dan Ling Sect's enforcement team in the Market, managing the entire Market's authority and benefiting greatly from the Market each year on top of his sect duties, he had amassed many Spirit Stones, Demon Beast Materials, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Yet, with all his Spirit Stones, he could not buy the Spirit Pills that would increase the mana of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Naturally, Zhao Yu's arrival delighted him immensely.
