"For a cultivator who wants to form their core, the busiest thing they have to do during the foundation establishment stage is to collect the materials needed to refine their natal magic treasure! You have to know that the offensive power of magic treasures far surpasses that of magic treasures. Which core formation cultivator doesn't want to have a powerful magic treasure? Many cultivators don't understand this logic. They only think of this problem after they reach core formation. These cultivators end up either being killed or refining a useless magic treasure, regretting it for the rest of their lives! "
Cao Guang's words were very reasonable. Ye Kong couldn't help but nod, but then he asked doubtfully, "Thank you for your advice, master … but why did master suddenly bring this up?"
Cao Guang didn't answer, but asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Why would I ask if I know? Ye Kong guessed, "Master means that there are many high level treasures that can be used to refine magic treasures after the core formation stage."
"That's right!" Cao Guang nodded, "Many people don't understand this. They don't even know what magic treasure they want to refine after they form their core, wasting time and missing out on opportunities. So I feel that early foundation establishment stage cultivators should start thinking about magic treasures."
After Cao Guang finished speaking, he raised his hand and took out five to six green jade slips. He said, "These are some powerful Natal Dharma Treasure refining methods. Choose one."
Ye Kong skimmed through them and found that they were all powerful magic treasures. Although these magic treasures weren't as powerful as the Five Elements Sword Array, they were all top quality items. They were many times stronger than the magic treasures of the core formation cultivators in Bone Spirit Mountain.
"If I'm not wrong, the materials needed for these magic treasures can only be found at the destination of the mission, right?" Ye Kong asked.
"You're very clever, indeed." Cao Guang nodded and said, "In the past hundred thousand years, all kinds of spiritual treasures have been used up in Cang Nan Continent. Even some spiritual beasts have gone extinct. So many large cultivation sects have these jade slips, but they can't refine them … But the location of the mission is rich in resources. It hasn't been touched by anyone for hundreds of thousands of years. Whoever gets there first will definitely reap great rewards!"
Ye Kong's heart shook. Wasn't that Columbus going to find a new continent? If that was really the case, then he could give it a try.
"Master, I'm a little tempted by what you said." Ye Kong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why isn't everyone fighting for such a good thing?"
Cao Guang laughed heartily. "Why isn't everyone fighting to go? Spirit Medicine Mountain, Green Nether Valley, Qi Refinement Sect, and Joyous Union Palace have all taken action! "
Ye Kong didn't expect that what he was worried about was actually a good thing. He still didn't believe it and asked again, "What is that place?"
Cao Guang did not reply. Instead, he smiled faintly and slowly walked to the end of the platform. With his hands behind his back, he looked towards the far north and said four words.
"Cangbei Continent!"
"Ah?" No matter how much Ye Kong thought about it, he would never have imagined that it would actually be the Cangbei Continent. Was that place really that good?
"Wasn't Cangbei occupied by demonic cultivators?" Ye Kong asked.
Cao Guang corrected him, "That's not a fiendish cultivator, it's a demon! There are good people among the demonic cultivators. Even those with cruel thoughts can be communicated with. The demon race is the natural enemy of humans. If I don't kill them, they will kill me. There's no reason for that! "
It seemed like the mission was very difficult! Ye Kong's heart thumped as he listened. He probed, "Are these demons very powerful?"
"Yes, the demon race is naturally fierce and cruel. They are known for their strength. According to the ancient books, the demon race has spells and artifacts, but they aren't proficient in them. Their bodies are hard and they are strong. Normal spells are useless against them. They are born with the strength of the early stage of Foundation Establishment … "
"Ugh …" Ye Kong didn't just vomit blood. He vomited blood. "Master, you mean that after I go there, I'll only be able to survive in the age group below three years old?"
"That's what books say. You can't take it seriously. It's better to have no books than to believe in books."
"Then I'd rather believe in books."
Cao Guang said angrily, "Do you think I'll let you die? Let me tell you, Cao Junfeng, even my own grandson will go! Don't worry, we have an exploration plan. Who knows, after hundreds of thousands of years, the demon race might have already returned to their world. "
Ye Kong harrumphed. "How can there be such a good thing?"
Cao Guang said, "How can there not be such a good thing? I just said that the demon race focuses on tempering their bodies. Many natural treasures are useless to them. Think about how many treasures there have been in the past hundreds of thousands of years! Wouldn't it be easy for you to refine any Dharma treasure? "
Ye Kong thought about it. That was true. The Five Element Sword Array that he was preparing to refine required rare materials. He could only go to Cangbei to find them.
"Then what's our mission? It can't be to conquer Cangbei and chase away the demon race, right? "Ye Kong asked again.
"Your mission is very simple. That is to find the ruins of Cloud Talisman Sect in Cangbei and find the cultivation technique after Yuanying!" Cao Guang looked into the distance and said, "No one has ascended in Cangnan for too long. It's because all the sects lost the cultivation technique after Yuanying in that great war between immortals and demons!"
Someone had done it on purpose. Ye Kong suddenly remembered what Shi Laoer had said to him in Five Element Pass.
At that time, Shi Laoer had said that those cultivation techniques were deliberately done by a powerful person in the Upper Domain who hated the people of Purple Azure Star. The purpose was to prevent the people of Purple Azure Star from ascending. Even the demon race was released by that person. Sigh, I don't know why that person hates Purple Azure Star so much. Damn it!
However, Ye Kong couldn't tell Cao Guang about this. Otherwise, the old man would definitely ask how he knew about it.
Ye Kong still reminded, "Master, all the sects have lost the cultivation technique after Yuanying. How can there be such a coincidence? I'm afraid there's a deeper secret behind it."
"I've thought about what you said. However, the opportunity is right in front of me. If I don't try, I, Cao Guang, will die with regret!"
You won't die. If someone dies, it'll be me first. Ye Kong had already made up his mind. When the time came, he would observe for a while. If he was confident of success, he would do it. If not, he would escape as soon as possible.
The two of them chatted for a while. Cao Guang reminded Ye Kong not to tell anyone else about this. In the entire sect, only a few Yuanying cultivators knew about it. Not even the Core Formation Elders knew about it.
Then, Cao Guang told him where Qiu Qianguang was. However, he hoped that Shen Lian would look at the bigger picture and deal with his grudge later. He didn't want to disturb the others in the array.
Ye Kong realized that Qiu Qianguang's room was not far from Lin Tianwu's room. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
"Master, I'll listen to you. I'll let him go!" Ye Kong said generously.
Cao Guang knew that Shen Lian had a vengeful personality. However, as long as Shen Lian didn't mess around in the array, he would let it go. After all, Qiu Qianguang was too much and deserved to be taught a lesson.
