Chapter 205: Infuriating, Revenge

The two searched all around.

“Illusion technique, but unfortunately, the skill is too shallow.”

On the stone wall of the back mountain, there was a cave sealed with spiritual energy. Without someone with extremely strong perception, it would be impossible to notice.

Clearly, Chen Ansheng was that person with strong perception.

“I’ll go take a look!”

Upon discovering the location of the cave, Chen Yuling immediately wanted to rush over.

“Slow down!”

Chen Ansheng grabbed Chen Yuling.

“Lu Lingxi has set up a lightning formation here!”

Chen Ansheng’s true realm was that of a True Immortal. Even though he had already transformed into a mortal, his knowledge and experience remained.

“Setting up a formation?” Chen Yuling asked curiously, “I’ve heard from family elders that in some terrifying forbidden zones, there are lightning formations! Is Lu Lingxi really that impressive to be able to set up a formation?”

“Hehe.” Chen Ansheng smiled and said, “Her skill is nothing. I estimate it was just a basic formation technique granted to her when she entered the Foundation Establishment stage. Otherwise, even with her astonishing comprehension, it would be impossible for her to realize a lightning formation during the Foundation Establishment stage.”

Chen Yuling suddenly understood, “Right, every time we elevate our realm, we receive rewards. So what do we do now? Ansheng, do you have a way to break the formation?”

“This little formation is nothing to me.”

Chen Ansheng immediately sat down, began to absorb the essence of the moon and draw in spiritual energy.

However, he didn’t use the spiritual energy for cultivation; instead, he focused on strengthening his mental strength through meditation, using it to explore the core of the lightning formation.

After about half an hour of exploration, Chen Ansheng discovered that the core of the formation was hidden within an old tree by the spiritual spring.

Immediately, Chen Ansheng leaped up and smashed the old tree with three punches and two kicks.

The lightning formation lost its core and collapsed completely.

“Wow, Ansheng, you’re amazing!”

Chen Yuling couldn’t help but exclaim, feeling that Ansheng’s intelligence surpassed her by tenfold, a hundredfold.

“Let’s go in and see how many resources Lu Lingxi has gathered.”

“Okay!”

The two entered the cave one after the other.

The cave wasn’t deep; after advancing a few paces, they arrived at a stone chamber.

To their surprise, the chamber was piled high with hundreds of pounds of various spiritual fruits, hundreds of pounds of spiritual beast meat, dozens of prepared spirit jade pieces. Additionally, there were hundreds of jade bottles containing pure spiritual liquid extracted from the spiritual spring.

“Who would’ve thought this woman was so capable!”

Chen Ansheng exclaimed with joy, genuinely surprised that Lu Lingxi and her group could collect so many good things in just a month.

Chen Ansheng counted everything carefully.

What shocked him the most was the presence of a half-finished storage bag!

“Someone must have obtained the method for making storage bags, but they were too foolish and couldn’t create a finished product in a timely manner.”

Chen Ansheng picked up the half-finished storage bag and examined it closely.

Drawing from his long experience using storage bags in the Immortal Realm, Chen Ansheng comprehended and completed the production method in half an hour.

Of course, given his lowly realm, he could only create a storage bag with a capacity of one hundred and twenty-five cubic units, not a large storage bag.

“Haha, I’m going to take all these things. That woman will be furious.”

With a thought, Chen Ansheng put all the resources into the storage bag.

The remaining spiritual fruits and spiritual beast meat that couldn’t fit, Chen Ansheng and Chen Yuling first ate the fruits, then went outside to start a campfire and roasted a few beast legs.

After eating their fill, the two climbed upstream along the spiritual spring to its source.

“This spiritual spring connects to the underground spiritual veins. As long as we destroy the spring eye, the spiritual spring will flow back underground and disappear. Yuling, make your move!”

“Got it, Ansheng!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two unleashed various techniques, shattering the spring eye, effectively eradicating the spiritual spring.

“Doing bad things feels so good.”

Chen Yuling showed a silly smile.

“Ansheng, let’s get out of here before Lu Lingxi returns.”

Chen Ansheng replied calmly, “No hurry. I want to see how furious that woman gets. Let’s hide on another mountain. She won’t suspect that we haven’t left.”

“Exciting, hehehe.”

Chen Yuling laughed foolishly, following Chen Ansheng as they ran to a nearby deserted mountain.

The next day, at noon.

Lu Lingxi and her group returned disappointed after failing to find Chen Ansheng’s whereabouts the previous night.

“That lecher is too cunning; don’t know where he’s hiding!”

“Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will drag him out!”

The ladies were angrily discussing as they made their way back to the mountain.

Lu Lingxi was also very displeased. Upon seeing the tattered Mu Qinglian, she knew that the lecher had done something wrong again!

However, Lu Lingxi felt no pity for Mu Qinglian and her companion; she didn’t give them a single healing pill and directly ordered them to scram.

After running back and forth for over a thousand miles, everyone felt a bit fatigued and planned to bathe in the spiritual spring to regain their strength.

“Sister Lingxi, bad news! The owner of our geese has been robbed by that lecher…”

As they walked through the mountains, a vague cry came from an old tree.

Everyone looked up to see that the Lu family’s eldest brother was hanging from the tree, tattered and with a face swollen like a pig’s head, struggling to speak clearly.

“Oh no!”

The faces of Lu Lingxi and the others darkened.

“You save the eldest brother; I’ll go check on the treasure house!”

Whoosh!

Lu Lingxi dashed toward the treasure house in the back mountain.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, her face was stormy, almost dripping with anger.

The lightning formation had been broken.

There was no need to enter; she knew that all the resources she had feverishly collected these days had certainly been looted.

“I’ll tear that thing to pieces sooner or later, ah!”

Lu Lingxi screeched in fury, nearly falling over in anger.

These were all the resources she had for advancing to the next realm. She had cleaned out the surrounding area—where else could she find so many resources?

“Sister Lingxi, it’s bad! Our spiritual spring has been destroyed!”

At that moment, a female cultivator from the Lu family hurriedly flew over to report.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi froze, her face pale, breathless, nearly spitting out blood.

“They robbed my resources and destroyed my foundation. I will avenge this grudge, even if I have to die!”

Clutching her aching chest, Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth.

Then she, along with the others, inquired about the situation of the four guarding the spiritual spring.

According to the eldest brother, it was Zhou Taihu who disguised himself at night and led people to come and raid.

“Our eldest brother has nearly reached the Foundation Establishment stage; only that Zhou Taihu has the strength to crush him.”

“Right, this must be the work of the Zhou family. Let’s go get revenge!”

The Lu family members were filled with righteous indignation, each vowing to confront Zhou Taihu and his group!

At this moment, Lu Lingxi, infuriated, consented to their demands and led a group toward Zhou Taihu’s camp to take revenge.

On a nearby deserted mountain, Chen Ansheng, using the “Blood Bat Listening Technique,” listened to everything clearly and plainly.

“Looks like business has come knocking again.”

A gleam of joy appeared in Chen Ansheng’s eyes, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
