Qian Dali quickly added, "Senior Martial Brother Cao is wise and prudent. As expected of one of the Immortal Palace's Mountain Masters. This arrangement is very appropriate."
"That's right, we'll follow Senior Martial Brother Cao's arrangement." The other four cultivators also agreed.
However, Cao Haihua's gaze was fixed on Lu Xiaotian. Although Lu Xiaotian's cultivation was one level lower than his and he had reached Foundation Establishment much earlier than him, he had made a great name for himself ever since reaching Foundation Establishment. Not only had he subdued Luo Qian, who had a great reputation within the palace, he had even surpassed the genius disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. Deep down, Cao Haihua still attached a certain amount of importance to Lu Xiaotian.
"Senior Martial Brother Cao is right. This is the safest choice." Although Lu Xiaotian didn't like Cao Haihua's style as a vice captain, Cao Haihua had become a Mountain Master and had cultivated for many years. He had rich experience in handling matters. As long as it didn't endanger his situation, he wouldn't compete with Cao Haihua.
"It seems Junior Martial Brother Lu is also a person who understands the big picture. Since we're on the same page, the rest will be much easier." Cao Haihua revealed a satisfied smile and took out a simple map made from animal skin from his pocket. "In my early years, I also stayed in Profound Leaf City for a period of time. I have a habit of making a map of the places I've been to. Then, I'll combine it with the information of my fellow sect members to mark the important places. There are many spirit stone veins near Profound Leaf City as well as places with abundant spirit herbs. I know a thing or two about them. Places with large spirit stone veins will be occupied by hostile cultivators and there will definitely be more cultivators guarding them. If we go to places with small spirit stone veins, I'm afraid we'll only encounter some Qi Condensation cultivators and won't have much value. We should be able to get a lot of benefits if we pick a place that isn't too big or too small. "
Hearing Cao Haihua's words, Peng Dayong and Oh Yeon's eyes lit up. They had to admit that although Cao Haihua was a bit arrogant, he was indeed an ideal candidate to be a captain. Lu Xiaotian also smiled. This way, he would have less to worry about.
After selecting a few points on the map, they finally decided on Pond Wind Valley. It was a spirit stone vein that produced wind attribute spirit stones. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.
Everyone felt that there was no problem, so they followed the map and arrived at Pond Wind Valley several days later.
In the Pond Wind Valley, in addition to a kind of short Windward Fir, there were also thick low level spirit grasses on the ground, but there were no very dense trees. Under the influence of the astral winds here, some of the mountain rocks had been severely weathered, and there were also some exposed wind attribute ores, which could be used to refine wind attribute spirit tools and low level magic tools. There were some traces of artificial excavation, obviously there were people who used to collect ores here. However, the bloodstains on it indicated that this place had been affected by the war.
Seeing the traces of cultivators fighting here, everyone's face tightened. Cao Haihua led everyone to carefully search around. After two days, they found the exact location of the Pond Wind Valley's spirit stone vein.
"There are four foundation establishment stage cultivators guarding outside the cave, but it's hard to say if there are other foundation establishment stage cultivators inside the cave." The one who spoke was a middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been following Cao Haihua. Dai Chong was also very good at hiding his aura, so he had followed Cao Haihua to investigate. Now that he had returned, everyone gathered in a small circle, and Dai Chong roughly explained the situation.
"However, the air in the cave is turbid, especially in the wind attribute spirit stone cave. Strange winds wreak havoc inside, rolling up sand and dust. The living environment is even worse. Normal cultivators are not willing to enter. I guess that even if there are people mining inside, they are most likely people from the Full Moon Continent who were captured by the foreign cultivators. If we force them into the cave, we should be facing these four foundation establishment stage cultivators. "
"We have a total of nine people. If we work together, we should be able to kill these four enemy cultivators." Hearing Dai Chong's words, the others suddenly became excited. It seemed that merit points were already within their reach. The accumulated merit points could not only be used to exchange for the Gold Condensing Fruit, but also other healing medicinal pills, required spirit stones, and even some secret cultivation techniques.
"But logically speaking, since the other party is mining here, in order to prevent sneak attacks, they should have sent people to guard the surroundings. However, we've searched several times and still haven't found anything. There should be no one around. However, the situation is somewhat abnormal. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to directly attack. "Cao Haihua said.
"Senior Cao, we can't miss this opportunity. It's rare to encounter a foreign cultivator alone. We can't miss it." Dai Bai rubbed his palms together.
Cao Haihua frowned. Although the Dai brothers were only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, the twins were proficient in joint attacks. If they worked together, even Cao Haihua was somewhat apprehensive. The two brothers had the same idea. Seeing that the others were also eager to give it a try, if Cao Haihua rejected so many people based on a bit of suspicion, it would inevitably affect their enthusiasm and affect their morale.
"It's not that these foreign cultivators aren't vigilant. They should have set up a trap and are waiting for us to enter. There are people waiting to ambush them further away," Lu Xiaotian said.
"How do you know?" Dai Bai sneered. "If you're a coward, you can choose not to go. However, when the time comes, don't fight over the merit points."
"In the past, I went to the vicinity of Xuanye City with Luo Qian and encountered the Sky Dome Realm's Winged Cavalry Tribe. They rode demonic birds and their speed was much faster than ordinary Sword Kinesis Flight. If there are people from the Winged Cavalry Tribe in the vicinity, they might attack us before we succeed. At that time, we won't be able to escape even if we have wings. " Lu Xiaotian smiled. "As for the merit points, whoever has the ability can go and get them."
"The Winged Cavalry Tribe!" Everyone's expression changed. The Winged Cavalry Tribe's ferocious reputation was more or less heard of.
"There are many spirit stone veins scattered around Xuanye City. Although the Winged Cavalry Tribe is ferocious, they don't have many people. Can they take care of everything?" Dai Chong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly reacted.
"I agree with Junior Martial Brother Lu's point of view. We don't ask for merit, but we don't want to make any mistakes. This is not an ordinary game. The slightest carelessness will put our lives in danger. I think we should wait and see for a few days. The war in the cultivation world is long and drawn-out. Do you think we can gather enough merit points to exchange for the Gold Condensing Fruit in three to five days?" Cao Haihua looked at Lu Xiaotian in surprise. As long as someone objected, he, as the team leader, could stand up and speak. Moreover, there were three people on Lu Xiaotian's side.
