The righteous path punishes Heaven

Chapter 91 Pickpockets from the Western Regions

“Found it,” said the young woman in the black and white Taoist robe.

According to the clues and information she obtained, the hidden treasure in this immortal ruins is right here, but it has now been sealed by someone.

"How can this seal be broken?" a young disciple asked anxiously from the side.

The young woman chuckled softly, and a silver-white flame ignited in her left hand, while a dark black flame simultaneously burst into flame in her right hand. This scene instantly shocked all the disciples around her, because they could clearly feel that this flame was not a magical fire, but a primordial pill fire!

The alchemist's alchemical fire originates from their dantian, where they circulate spiritual energy into their fire and wood spiritual roots. Through the interaction of these two types of spiritual roots, alchemical fire is ultimately generated for the alchemist to use freely.

However, in theory, the alchemist's alchemical fire is usually earthy yellow or orange. There are also a few people who are extremely skilled at using attribute changes, and their alchemical fire can be red, blue, green, or gold, etc.

But regardless of the color of the alchemical fire, it is certain that an alchemist can only use one specific color of alchemical fire. The fact that two colors of alchemical fire have appeared on an alchemist can only prove two things.

This alchemist's control over the changes in spiritual root attributes has reached an extraordinary level.

Or perhaps her cultivation level is very high, allowing her to use fire-attribute techniques to forcibly change the nature of the elixir fire.

Judging from the woman's youthful appearance, she is obviously not very old. It is already quite difficult for her to master attribute changes, which means there must be other factors involved.

The woman fused the two kinds of fire, one black and one white, in her hands together, transforming them into a fireball resembling a Tai Chi diagram, which she then poured into the seal before her.

Affected by the pill fire, the seal began to emit unstable fluctuations, and after a few breaths, it shattered and disintegrated, revealing a dark cave behind it.

"Sect Master's strength is indeed extraordinary! Those old guys only know how to be jealous of your talent, but we will always follow in your footsteps!" A young disciple shouted loudly from the side, and the other disciples did the same. In their excitement, everyone knelt down on one knee and began to worship the young woman.

"Alright, alright! You guys seem to be missing a screw. Such a commotion will attract other people and cause big trouble!"

The young woman loudly reprimanded the disciples, and seeing that they immediately bowed their heads in agreement, she sighed softly and continued to lead the disciples into the cave.

......

The Western Desert, the pyramids.

"My lord, we have brought what you asked us to find. These are the things." A middle-aged man knelt on one knee and said respectfully to the purple-robed man sitting on the stone chair.

"This is the secret treasure of your Ruyi Star Sect?" The purple-robed man was none other than Sun Jie.

He rose from the stone chair and slowly walked down the steps. Looking at the altar and a large wooden box placed next to the middle-aged man, he spread his divine sense to examine them carefully and frowned slightly.

“These things are all wrong. Let’s go back and look for them.” Sun Jie shook his head, turned around and sat back down on the stone chair.

The middle-aged man looked somewhat troubled. He walked over, opened the wooden box, and said to Sun Jie, "Sir, I went to great lengths to obtain these treasures. If I hadn't been promoted to elder, I wouldn't have been able to bring them to you, let alone even see them..."

Sun Jie shook his head, somewhat impatiently saying, "You can take these things back; I won't take any of them. But the item I want should be your sect's most prized treasure. If you can bring it to me, our transaction can continue."

The middle-aged man remained silent for a long time. How could he not know the treasure that Sun Jie mentioned? But given his current cultivation level and status, it was clearly impossible for him to possess it.

"I am currently only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, barely managing to squeeze into the ranks of elders of the Ruyi Star Sect. Obtaining these treasures is already my limit. However... if you could use some means to improve my cultivation, I would still have a chance."

The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice, secretly plotting something. Sun Jie, however, didn't pay much attention. With a wave of his hand, his sleeves fluttered, and a purple halo flew out, slowly merging into the middle-aged man's abdomen.

A warm current swept through his body, and his cultivation power rippled outwards. The middle-aged man's strength actually advanced directly to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

After giving away this cultivation, Sun Jie's face turned noticeably paler. He had originally planned to follow the cultivation laws of this world and break free from the pyramid's constraints by accumulating cultivation, but obtaining the treasure from the Ruyi Star Sect was the more important matter at the moment.

As the middle-aged man felt his cultivation level slowly increasing, he clenched his fists, his breathing became rapid, and he excitedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you for your grace, my lord! I will certainly live up to your expectations and bring you that secret treasure!"

Sun Jie gave a soft "hmm" and then ignored it, leaning back in the stone chair and closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing that Sun Jie did not move, the middle-aged man turned around and quietly put the wooden box into his storage bag. Then he picked up the altar, said goodbye in a low voice, and left the pyramid.

No one has come here for a long time, and the pyramids have returned to silence, with only the howling of the desert outside.

Sun Jie recalled the matter of the Thirty-Three Immortal Artifacts.

Currently, the immortal artifacts he possesses are the Banana Leaf Fan, the Jade Purification Bottle, and the Vajra Bracelet. Although the latter two are in the hands of the Thief Heaven Sect and the Quanzhen Sect respectively, because Sun Jie has imprinted them with his divine sense, he can retrieve these two immortal artifacts at any time with just a thought using the Formless Hand.

According to his investigation of the thirty-three immortal artifacts, it is not necessary to collect all thirty-three pieces. Obtaining only eleven of them is enough to have enough immortal power to open the narrative ladder and reach a higher level of the world.

In reality, those twenty-two immortal artifacts were mostly in the upper world. According to his expectations, in order to break through the world's outer wall and go to other worlds, he would need even more immortal power as support, and his own cultivation level would also need to be higher.

"Ascension...becoming an immortal..." Sun Jie murmured to himself, "This dantian used for cultivation in my abdomen is somewhat similar to the empty aperture I once possessed, but it differs in function. I wonder what my cultivation level is in this world now..."

"If one can cultivate to the point where one can ascend to immortality, then even without collecting all eleven immortal artifacts, one can probably still go to the upper world, which is probably the Nine Heavens that Zhang Yunling mentioned..."

"However, if cultivation is necessary in this world, then continuing cultivation will likely be required to reach the Nine Heavens. Becoming an immortal may not be the pinnacle; there are even more transcendent realms beyond that..."

Sun Jie frowned, stopped thinking about these things, and began to focus on restoring his spiritual energy. For some reason, although he felt that his cultivation speed was obviously not slow, he could not feel the feeling of advancing in his realm.

"Zhang Yunling, if you keep dragging your feet like this, I'll really have to force things..."
