Chapter 18: The Lamb
Chapter 18 The Lamb
The Su Family’s medicinal garden was more than ten miles away.
Guo Chu Dong, the original geomancer that the Su Family had spent a lot of money to hire, came here with a few apprentices to meet up with a group of people here.
Seeing Guo Chu Dong and the others arrive, the two elders of the Lin Family who had been waiting for a long time were instantly overjoyed.
Fourth Elder Lin Hai hurriedly greeted them and asked, “Fellow Daoist Guo, how is the situation?”
Guo Chu Dong was not tall and not thin, his hair was white and full of wrinkles, he looked older than even Lin Hai, but in reality, he was ten years younger than Lin Hai, and was now only in his fifties.
As an Earth Master, he had much more cultivation resources compared to ordinary loose cultivators.
A cultivation level that had already reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
On this trip to the Su Family, Guo Chu Dong had come to accumulate the resources to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Guo Chu Dong blandly said, “The Spirit Vein’s Guardian Beasts have rioted, and although the number is less than I predicted, there are still two to three hundred in number.”
“And there are also three late first stage demonic beasts, under the riot, the Earth Rock Rats will become extremely murderous and their strength has increased.”
“With the strength of the Su family’s cultivators in the medicinal garden, even if they didn’t all die, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price.”
“Wait for another hour, when the rioting ground rock rat demonic beasts recede, we can go in.”
Lin Hai and Lin Kui, the Lin Clan’s Grand Elder, were overjoyed at his words.
Lin Kui hurriedly stepped forward and said, “With Fellow Daoist Guo, this time the Su Family will have to get out of Jiang City even if they don’t die.”
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Guo, our Lin Family’s share of the reward will definitely be given with both hands at that time.”
Guo Chu Dong had a minute smile on his face as he said, “Just wait.”
The Su Family’s payment for inviting him to come and search for dragons and set points and construct a blessed land, he had only gotten the deposit now.
But after the Su Family found him, the Lin Family also found him.
To Guo Chudong, it did not matter what Su Family or Lin Family was.
What mattered was that the Lin Family had said that if he helped deal with the Su Family and take down that First Order Spirit Vein, the Lin Family would double the reward after the deed was done.
Thinking of this, Guo Chu Dong had something to look forward to and secretly said, ”With this money, he will be able to try to collect the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill and hire someone to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Foundation Building!
Guo Chu Dong secretly gritted his teeth, Foundation Establishment for Earth Masters had to be more than ten times harder than normal people.
Previously, he had already failed twice.
Failing again-
Guo Chu Dong was silent as he thought of his few lifetimes.
Success was also an Earth Master’s failure.
Back then, when the remnants of the Earth Master’s inheritance were opened from the ancient jade box, he was overjoyed and chose to cultivate without hesitation.
He had never imagined that this Earth Master’s inheritance would be like a talisman, not only locking him out of the path of Foundation Establishment, but also robbing him of countless lifetimes.
The crowd waited here for an hour.
According to Guo Chudong’s estimation, at this time, the Earth Rock Rats would have recovered from their riotous state, and most of them would have disappeared back into the ground, making it much less dangerous.
At this time, they would enter the Su Family’s medicinal garden and clean up the mess, and they would easily be able to take away the Su Family’s medicinal garden.
“Go.”
With Guo Chu Dong giving a low shout, along with the hundreds of cultivators from the Lin Family.
The crowd rushed towards the Su Family’s medicinal garden in unison.
Arriving outside the Su Family’s Medicine Garden, Guo Chu Dong had a few moments of complacency as he said, “During this period of time, under the cover of searching for dragons and fixing acupuncture points, I’ve already figured out the Su Family’s Medicine Garden’s grand formations, and I’ve even tampered with a few of the nodes.”
“So, we can go in directly.”
Saying that, he took out a few array flags and cast them at the several layers of the Su Family’s Pill Garden’s Grand Formation, integrating the several array flags into them and manipulating the Grand Formation.
A moment later, Guo Chu Dong Dao said, “Alright.”
Buzz!
With a movement of his mind, the grand formation in front of him instantly released an entrance and exit.
Guo Chu Dong was the first to enter with a few disciples, followed by Lin Hai, and just as Lin Kui wanted to bring a group of cultivators from the Lin Family to enter together, the several layers of the formation that were originally open suddenly closed and the entrance shut down.
Lin Kui froze for a moment, “What’s going on?” “Fellow Daoist Guo, fellow Daoist Guo.”
Lin Kui yelled several times, but there was no response.
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly a few layers of formations in front of him erupted with a strong aura, a change that caused Lin Kui’s complexion to change drastically.
“Not good.”
Inside the formation.
Guo Chu Dong, Lin Hai and the others who had just entered the medicinal garden were similarly startled when the formation barrier behind them suddenly closed.
Guo Chu Dong even detected that the several formation flags he had integrated into the grand formation had been destroyed.
He had lost control of the Pill Garden’s grand formation.
Guo Chu Dong’s heart thumped and his face changed slightly, “Not good.”
In the next moment, Third Elder Su Chang’s icy voice with murderous intent resounded in the ears of several people, “Guo Chu Dong, my Su Clan has treated you well, and the price for asking you to step in is enough to compare to a Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“But you colluded with the Lin Family, wanting to plot against my Su Family’s medicinal garden, and also letting the Earth Rock Rat Demon swarm riot wanting our Su Family dead.”
“You have big dog guts!”
Su Chang angrily shouted, then spoke about Lin Hai: “Lin Hai, your Lin Family provokes my Su Family over and over again, do you really think my Su Family is easy to bully?”
“Today you came in here, then you won’t want to leave again!”
“Boom!”
As soon as the words fell, the several layers of the Pill Garden’s great formations were all energized by Su Chang, and these great formations were the top first-order formations that the Su family had spent a lot of money on.
In addition to the protective grand formations, there were two more types of killing formations and trapping formations.
Perhaps it was difficult to deal with the Foundation Establishment Realm, but it was easy to deal with the Qi Refining Realm.
Sensing the aura of the grand formation, Guo Chu Dong’s face changed again, waving his hand, a formation flag appeared.
Just before he could break the formation, a fierce wind had already swept through the heavens and earth.
Feeling the sharp aura of that gale, Guo Chu Dong, an Immortal Cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, could not help but feel his scalp tingle.
In desperation, he could only lay down a defense formation around himself.
“Boom!!!”
The gusts of wind struck, and the few apprentices around him along with Lin Hai only resisted for a moment before they were turned into a bloody mist and were killed by the formation.
A mournful scream lingered in Guo Chu Dong’s ears.
Inside the manor.
When Su Chang sensed Guo Chu Dong laying down a formation to resist the gusty wind attack, he could not help but reveal a hint of gravity in his eyes, secretly saying, “This one really is not simple.”
After the two sides had stalemated for a few moments, Guo Chu Dong’s voice came out from the formation he had laid down and said, “Fellow Daoist Su, how about we have a talk?”
“This formation of yours can’t help me yet, moreover, I have also laid a little means in the spirit vein.”
“If you really push me, although I can’t destroy the Spirit Vein, there’s not the slightest problem in making this Spirit Vein suffer heavy damage.”
Su Chang’s face changed when he heard this.
He hadn’t let all the Lin family in before because he was afraid that this person would have other means.
Coupled with the fact that the Lin Family’s Grand Elder, Lin Kui, was at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and with a joint effort, who knew if there would be accidents.
Therefore, he didn’t let everyone in.
However, he did not expect that just one Guo Chu Dong would be so difficult to deal with.
At this time, Su Yu, who was next to him, whispered, “Third Grandpa can trap him first and wait for the family head and the others to arrive.”
“At that time, as long as we take him down, then he will be a lamb to the slaughter, dead or alive, it’s all up to our Su Family.”
Su Chang’s eyes instantly sparkled for a few moments when he heard this.
Taking down an Earth Master – there were many benefits to their Su Family.
