Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

Chapter 18 - 18: 018 Lamb_l

Originally, the Su Family had spent a significant amount of money to invite Land Master Guo Chudong and his apprentices here to converge with a group of people.

Seeing the arrival of Guo Chudong and others, the two long-awaited elders from the Lin Family became overjoyed.

The Fourth Elder, Lin Hai, quickly stepped forward to ask: “Taoist friend Guo, how is the situation?”

Guo Chudong, neither tall nor thin, had white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He appeared older then Lin Hai, but he was actually ten years younger, and was in his fifties now.

As a Land Master, Guo Chudong had access to far more cultivation resources than ordinary Loose Cultivators.

His cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

This visit to the Su Family was meant for Guo Chudong to accumulate resources for breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Guo Chudong calmly announced: “The guardian beast of the Spirit Vein has already revolted. Although their numbers are less than I anticipated, there are still two to three hundred of them.

“There are also three late-stage first-order monsters. With their rebellion, the rock rats will become very bloodthirsty, and their strength will grow.”

“With the strength of the cultivators that the Su Family has in the medicinal garden, even if they don’t all die, they will inevitably pay a heavy price.”

“Let’s wait for another hour, after the rebellious rock rat monsters have retreated, we can enter.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai and the First Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Kui, were overjoyed.

Lin Kui quickly stepped forward and said: “With Taoist friend Guo taking action on our behalf, the Su Family will have to leave River City this time, even if they don’t die.”

“Taoist friend Guo can rest assured that the Lin Family will definitely hand over the promised reward.”

A smile reached Guo Chudong’s face as he said, “Just wait.”

He had only received a deposit for the promised reward from the Su Family to find the dragon vein and construct their blessed land.

However, after the Su Family found him, so did the Lin Family.

For Guo Chudong, the Su Family and the Lin Family were both insignificant in comparison to his goals.

What mattered was that the Lin Family had promised double the reward if he helped them defeat the Su Family and seize the first-order Spirit Vein.

Thinking about this, Guo Chudong anticipated the reward. He thought: ‘With this wealth, I should be able to collect the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill and hire someone to refine it.

Foundation Establishment!

Guo Chudong gritted his teeth. Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a Land Master was more than ten times as hard as for the average person.

Previously, he had failed twice.

If he failed again —

Thinking of his limited lifespan, Guo Chudong went silent.

His Land Master techniques had been his salvation and his downfall.

Back when he managed to uncover the incomplete Land Master skills from an ancient jade box, he was overjoyed and chose to cultivate them without hesitation.

Who would have thought that his inheritance would now hang over him like a death sentence, not only blocking his path to the Foundation Establishment, but also stealing away many years of his lifespan?

Everyone waited there for an hour.

According to Guo Chudong’s estimate, the rock rats should have calmed down from their frenzied state at this time, with the majority returning underground. This would greatly reduce the danger.

At this moment, they would be able to easily enter the Su Family medicinal garden and take over, cleaning up the remnants of the battle aftermath.

“Let’s go.”

With Guo Chudong’s low command, he led the group of over a hundred cultivators from the Lin Family.

Once they reached the outskirts of the Su Family medicinal garden, Guo Chudong spoke proudly: “During this period under the guise of dragon vein prospecting, I’ve understood the defensive formation of the Su Family’s medicinal garden and I’ve even tampered with a few nodes.”

“So, we can directly enter.”

With that, he pulled out a few formation flags and began to deploy them against the layered defensive formation of the Su Family medicinal garden. He integrated the formation flags into it and controlled the defensive formation.

A moment later, Guo Chudong announced: “It’s done.”

Buzz!

He moved his thoughts, and the defensive formation immediately opened a portal.

Guo Chudong led his apprentices to enter first, followed by Lin Hai. Just as Lin Kui was preparing to lead a group of Lin Family cultivators into the portal, the initially open layered formation suddenly closed and the opening was no longer accessible.

Lin Kui was puzzled: “What’s happening?”

“Taoist friend Guo, Taoist friend Guo.

Lin Kui yelled a few times, but received no response.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, a strong aura suddenly erupted from the defensive formation in front of him. This unexpected development made Lin Kui’s expression drastically change. “This is bad.”

Inside the defensive formation.

Just after they had entered the medicinal garden, Guo Chudong, Lin Hai, and others were also taken aback as the barrier of the defensive formation behind them suddenly closed.

Guo Chudong noticed that the formation flags he had integrated into the defensive formation had been destroyed.

He had lost control of the medicinal garden’s defensive formation.

The realization made Guo Chudong’s heart sink and his face pale, whispering: “This is not good.”

The next moment, the Third Elder, Su Chang’s cold voice laced with killing intent echoed in their ears: “Guo Chudong, the Su Family has treated you well. The price we paid for your services equates to a Foundation Establishment Pill.

“Yet, you’ve conspired with the Lin Family, trying to seize our medicinal garden and planning to have a monster group revolt to kill the Su Family.”

“You have quite the audacity!”

After barking angrily, Su Chang turned to Lin Hai: “Lin Hai, your Lin Family has provoked the Su Family time and time again. Do you really think our Su Family is easy to bully?”

“Now that you have entered here, you better not think about leaving!”

“Boom!”

The moment his words fell, the multiple layers of the defensive formation in the medicinal garden were all activated by Su Chang. These were top-tier first-order formations that the Su Family had spent a fortune on.

Apart from the defensive array, there were also killing and trapping formations.

They might struggle to deal with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, but they could easily handle those in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Feeling the aura of the defensive formation, Guo Chudong’s face changed color. He swiftly summoned his formation flags.

But before he had time to deactivate the defensive formation, there was already a fierce wind sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Feeling the sharp aura of the wind, even Guo Chudong, a

Qi-refinement-stage-nine cultivator, felt a chill running down his spine. In his urgency, he could only use a defensive array to protect himself.

“Boom!”

The fierce wind attacked. The few apprentices and Lin Hai, who were just about to withstand it for a moment, were turned into blood fog killed by the large array.

Screams of agony reverberated in Guo Chudong’s ears.

Inside the estate.

Su Chang noticed Guo Chudong deploying his array to withstand the wind attack, his eyes revealing a touch of seriousness, as he thought: “This person is really not simple.”

While both sides were in a stalemate, Guo Chudong’s voice echoed from his defensive array to Su Chang: “Taoist friend Su, how about we talk this out?”

“Your defensive array is still unable to capture me. Also, I have laid a small trap within the Spirit Vein.”

“If you really push me to the edge, even though I can’t destroy the Spirit Vein, injuring it severely is easily done.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chang’s expression changed immediately.

He did not allow all the Lin Family people to enter earlier because he feared they had other measures.

Added to that, Lin Family’s Head Elder Lin Kui was also a

Qi-refinement-stage-nine cultivator. If joined by others, no one knew whether there would be any unexpected events.

That was why he did not let all of them in.

However, he did not expect that dealing with Guo Chudong alone would also be difficult.

At that moment, Su Yu spoke softly from one side: “Great grandfather can first trap him here before the head of the family arrives.”

“Once he is captured then, he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, whether he lives or dies is entirely up to us, the Su Family.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chang’s eyes sparkled.

Capturing a Land Master — was of great benefit to the Su Family..
