Divine Mystical Immortality: Starting Cultivation with the Town Martial Guard

This rotten corpse flag is an acquired spiritual treasure. Although it suffered some damage in the battle, it still has great power. Nangong Wan looked at the corpse flag with both fear of its power and desire for its value. She cast a purification spell in an attempt to remove the evil aura from the wight banner. She formed a seal with her hands and muttered something in her mouth, and white purifying light shrouded the corpse flag. As the light of purification continued to flash, the black corpse aura on the rotting corpse flag gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance. The surface of this rotten corpse flag is made of a material called shadow silk. This kind of shadow silk is extremely precious and difficult to see on the market. Nangong Wan's face showed an expression of surprise, and she said softly: "This shadow silk is really a rare treasure." Then she carefully put away the corpse flag, preparing to take it back for further research and repair.

Elder Yan looked around to see if there were any missing materials. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, not sparing any corner. He found some corpse scales scattered on the ground. Although these scales are not large, each one contains powerful defensive power. Elder Yan squatted down, used his spiritual power to collect the scales, and put them into a special cloth bag. This bag is made of a material called Lingyin cloth, which can prevent the spiritual power on the scales from leaking out. He stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "These scales are also good things, but they can't be wasted."

After packing up the corpse puppet materials, Fu Shaoping and others carefully checked the surroundings to ensure that nothing of value was missed. They are well aware that these materials are hard to come by, and they also know that these things will play a vital role in their future cultivation and magic weapon refining process.

Deep in the mysterious and dangerous ancient ruins, Fu Shaoping and his partners moved forward cautiously. There was a thick haze surrounding the place, a breath of death that seemed to freeze a person's soul. On the ancient walls, green phosphorus fire flickered, beating from time to time, as if eyes hidden in the dark were peeping at the intruders. The ground under their feet was rugged and covered with all kinds of strange lines. These lines seemed to have some mysterious power. With every step they took, they could feel a weak resistance, as if the ruins were resisting their arrival. .

Fu Shaoping walked at the front, with vigilance and curiosity in his eyes. He held a sword in his hand that exuded spiritual light. The light was like a bright light in the darkness, but it seemed so weak. Nangong Wan followed closely behind him, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, and the magic weapon in her hand was ready to attack at any time. Elder Yan stood at the back with a serious expression. With his rich experience, he knew that this area was full of unknown dangers.

"Everyone, be careful. There's something wrong with the atmosphere here." Fu Shaoping said in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Well, I always feel like something is staring at us." Nangong Wan responded softly, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Suddenly, a slight buzzing sound reached everyone's ears. The sound was like countless insects flapping their wings, or like some kind of evil whisper, which made people tremble. Fu Shaoping immediately stopped and took a defensive posture, and others followed suit.

As the sound grew louder, they discovered a huge hole appeared in front of them. The hole was covered with black mucus and exuded a pungent rancid smell. A cold wind blew from the cave entrance, mixed with the smell of decay and death.

"This...couldn't this be the corpse puppet's lair?" Nangong Anhui's voice was trembling.

"It's very possible." Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, "But now that we're here, we have no reason to back down."

Elder Yan nodded, "Yes, but after entering, everyone must cooperate closely and must not be reckless."

Everyone mustered up their courage and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave. After entering the cave entrance, there was a dark space inside, with only the faint light from the magical weapons and spiritual power in their hands illuminating the surroundings. The walls are full of strange symbols and patterns that seem to tell ancient and terrifying stories. There are some white bones scattered on the ground, and some of them are still exuding a faint black aura.

As they continued deeper, they suddenly heard a low roar. Immediately afterwards, several corpse puppets rushed out of the darkness. These corpse puppets are tall, exuding a putrid smell, and their eyes are shining with green light. Fu Shaoping shouted loudly and rushed forward first. He waved his sword and slashed at the corpse puppet with a wave of spiritual power. Nangong Wan also quickly cast a spell, and a stream of spiritual light shot towards the corpse. Elder Yan was looking for the corpse puppet's weaknesses, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

After a fierce battle, they finally got rid of these corpse puppets. Fu Shaoping wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The corpse puppets here are more powerful than those outside. Everyone should be more careful."

Everyone continued to move forward, and deep in the lair, they discovered a huge stone platform. There is a bead emitting a strange light placed on the stone platform. The light is colorful, but it also reveals a mysterious power.

"This...could this be the legendary sixth-order Hundian Bead?" Fu Shaoping's eyes widened, full of surprise and disbelief.

"It looks very similar. This power fluctuation is very powerful." Elder Yan also showed an excited expression.

Nangong Wan stepped forward and observed the Hundi Bead carefully, "If it is really the sixth level Hundi Bead, then we have really found an incredible treasure this time."

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of discovering the Hun Tianzhu, the air around them suddenly became colder. A strong evil breath came from all directions.

"Not good, we may have triggered some mechanism or awakened a more powerful existence." Fu Shaoping said vigilantly.

"Anyway, let's get the Hun Tianzhu first." Elder Yan said.

Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the stone platform. When his hand was about to touch the Hun Tianzhu, a black barrier suddenly appeared and bounced him back.

"What's going on?" Fu Shaoping said, covering his numb hand.

"It seems that this Hun Tianzhu has a protection mechanism. We have to find a way to break this barrier." Nangong Wan frowned and said.

Elder Yan carefully observed the barrier, "There are some runes on this barrier. I think I need some time to study it."

Fu Shaoping stood aside and was on guard. Nangong Wan also arranged some defensive spells around to prevent other corpses from attacking. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Elder Yan's forehead, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"This rune is very complicated. I can only try to crack it." Elder Yan said.

Suddenly, there was another huge noise around. More corpses rushed towards them, and these corpses looked more ferocious than before.

"I will stop them, and you can crack the barrier as soon as possible." Fu Shaoping clenched his sword and rushed towards the group of corpses.

Nangong Wan also joined the battle. She cast a powerful spell to try to stop the corpses from approaching. Elder Yan concentrated on breaking the barrier. His hands kept making seals, muttering something in his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the runes on the barrier.

Fu Shaoping fought hard among the corpses. His sword kept swinging, and each sword could kill a corpse, but the number of corpses was too large, and he gradually became a little tired. Nangong Wan also felt the pressure doubled, and her spiritual power was consumed quickly.

"Elder Yan, how long will it take?" Nangong Wan shouted.

"It's almost there, hold on a little longer." Elder Yan's voice was a little hoarse.

Just when Fu Shaoping was about to be unable to resist, Elder Yan suddenly shouted: "It's done!"

The black barrier disappeared, and Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to rush forward and grabbed the Hun Tianzhu. The moment he held the Hun Tianzhu, a powerful force surged into his body, and he felt that his spiritual power seemed to have been greatly improved.

"Go, we have got the Hun Tianzhu." Fu Shaoping shouted.

Everyone quickly evacuated in the direction of the cave entrance, and the corpse puppets chased after them. They fought and fled. In the process of escaping, Fu Shaoping found that the Hun Tianzhu seemed to have other functions. He tried to drive the Hun Tianzhu with spiritual power, and a powerful light shot out of the Hun Tianzhu, repelling some corpse puppets.

"This Hun Tianzhu is really magical." Fu Shaoping said in surprise.

After a difficult escape, they finally escaped from the corpse puppet's nest. The moment they stepped out of the nest, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was really thrilling this time." Nangong Wan said with lingering fear.

"But the harvest is also huge. This sixth-level Hun Tianzhu will bring us great changes." Fu Shaoping looked at the Hun Tianzhu in his hand, his eyes full of longing.

Elder Yan nodded, "But we have to be careful. This Hun Tianzhu may attract other coveters."

Fu Shaoping held the Hun Tianzhu tightly, "Anyway, let's find a safe place to study the use of this Hun Tianzhu first."

So, they took the Hun Tianzhu and walked towards the distance, and the corpse puppet nest behind them was gradually swallowed by darkness.

After successfully escaping from the corpse puppet nest, Fu Shaoping and others moved forward cautiously all the way, and finally found a very hidden valley as a temporary foothold. This valley is like an isolated fairyland, surrounded by dense and almost primitive forests. The tall trees block out the sun, and the sun can only shine through the gaps between the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The forest was filled with a fresh and moist smell, a mixture of rotten leaves and morning dew. The valley was shrouded in mist, like a veil, sometimes floating slowly, sometimes still, adding a bit of mystery to the valley.

Fu Shaoping carefully placed the Hun Tianzhu on a flat boulder. The three of them sat together, staring at the Hun Tianzhu, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation. The Hun Tianzhu lay quietly on the boulder, and the colorful light flickered in the mist, as if it had its own life.

"Elder Yan, you are knowledgeable. Do you think this Hun Tianzhu can improve your cultivation by a small realm in a short time? Are there any limitations or hidden dangers?" Fu Shaoping broke the silence first, with a hint of worry in his voice. After all, this kind of treasure is too magical, and he is worried that there will be unknown dangers. He looked away from the Hun Tianzhu and looked at Elder Yan, his eyes full of trust and dependence.

Elder Yan stroked his beard gently, his eyes deep and solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Most treasures in the world have two sides. This Hun Tianzhu has such magical effects. Perhaps there will be a backlash of spiritual power after use, or it may have some impact on subsequent cultivation. After all, the improvement of cultivation should be a gradual process. This kind of forced improvement in a short period of time is like forcing growth, which may destroy the balance of one's own spiritual power. However, this is just my speculation." Elder Yan's voice was steady and slow, and every word seemed to be well thought out.

Nangong Wan's eyes lit up and said, "Anyway, we can do some tests first. I suggest starting with low-level spell tests to see if the power and fluency of spells will change after using the Hun Tianzhu to improve cultivation." Nangong Wan's face was filled with excitement, and her eyes were fixed on the Hun Tianzhu, as if she had seen the scene of the successful test.

Fu Shaoping nodded, "That's a good idea. Let me try it first." After that, he took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and injected spiritual power into the Hun Tianzhu. The Hun Tianzhu instantly shone brightly, and the colorful light enveloped Fu Shaoping. The light was like a substance, slowly rotating, and each ray of light seemed to contain endless power. Fu Shaoping felt a powerful force flowing into his body along his arm, and the power was like a surging tide, rushing in. His meridians seemed to be washed by a warm spring, very comfortable, and every pore seemed to be cheering. He could clearly feel that his cultivation was rising rapidly. The realm barrier that had been stagnant was easily broken through like a fragile piece of paper, and his cultivation successfully improved by a small realm.

Fu Shaoping slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement. He stood up and cast a low-level attack spell that he often used on weekdays. I saw a ray of spiritual power shooting out from his hand. Originally, the power of this spell could only leave a shallow mark on the boulder in front, but now, this ray of light directly blasted a deep pit on the boulder, and the gravel flew. The stones on the edge of the deep pit were scorched black by the high temperature, and the surrounding air also produced a wave of fluctuations due to the strong impact.

"This power has increased by at least three times!" Fu Shaoping said in surprise. His voice was full of excitement. Looking at the deep pit blasted by the spell in front of him, his heart was full of amazement at the magical effect of the Hun Tianzhu.

Nangong Wan also showed an expression of amazement, "It seems that the effect of this Hun Tianzhu is indeed magical. However, we still have to see what changes will happen later." Although there was amazement in Nangong Wan's eyes, there was also a hint of caution.
