Pang Po, who had just used the Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Xu Ping, was also among these people.
"This matter... should be settled!"
Pang Po's lips curled up in a barely noticeable cold smile.
He turned his palm, and the Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman instantly disappeared into the Storage Ring.
"Hmm, the other party shouldn't have any suspicions." One of them, an unremarkable black-faced man with Fake Pill cultivation, nodded slightly.
Their conversation was clearly heard by the few present.
This fellow named Li Feiyu seemed to have been deceived.
"But is this person really a Loose Cultivator?"
Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator asked worriedly, "After all, Second-stage Earth Masters are extremely rare throughout Yue Country, and most are cultivated by major sects?"
Pang Po pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "He's likely a Loose Cultivator. After extensive verification, the well-known Second-stage Earth Masters from major sects do not match his characteristics."
"Could this person be disguised?"
Another cultivator expressed doubt, "If he's a Second-stage Earth Master sent by another sect, that could be problematic."
"This matter..."
The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators began to argue.
"Alright, once he arrives, it will be clear; when he comes, I'll be able to discern the truth."
The black-faced man's tone was indifferent, and although his voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority that directly interrupted the argument.
The Divine Sense of a Fake Pill cultivator far surpasses that of Foundation Establishment cultivators; for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to disguise in front of him is extremely difficult.
"If he indeed belongs to some sect, or even the Luoyun Sect, then find an excuse to send him away; but if he's just a Loose Cultivator..."
The black-faced man stopped here, a cold, sinister light flashing in his eyes.
Although he did not finish speaking, the meaning he intended to convey was quite clear.
"With Elder Song taking action, success is assured!"
Pang Po flattered the black-faced man, then continued, "If we can capture this Second-stage Spirit Worm, the speed at which our sect upgrades its Third-rank Upper Grade Spirit Vein to a Quasi-Fourth Rank Spirit Vein will greatly increase!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of fervor flashed in the eyes of the few present.
A Spirit Vein is the foundation of a sect.
Although upgrading from a Third-rank Upper Grade Spirit Vein to a Quasi-Fourth Rank may not show immediate results, from a long-term development perspective, it undoubtedly represents a qualitative leap.
Having a higher-level Spirit Vein means the sect disciples can obtain more abundant Spiritual Qi resources for cultivation, and the overall strength of the sect will rise accordingly.
If not for the Nine Nether Elder's relic attracting two Golden Core Supreme Elders and several Fake Pill Elders, resulting in a temporary shortage of personnel in the sect,
otherwise, dealing with this matter would at least involve a Golden Core expert stationed here.
However, with one Fake Pill cultivator and four Foundation Establishment cultivators at present, they are confident that dealing with a mere Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is more than adequate.
"This Second-stage Spirit Worm must be ours!" one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators asserted firmly.
Due to the rarity of the Spirit Worm demon beast, few are aware of it, and there is a world of difference between a Second-stage Spirit Worm and an ordinary First Rank Spirit Worm, they are entirely different concepts.
The abilities of a Second-stage Spirit Worm far surpass that of a First Rank Spirit Worm.
Whether in loosening the soil surrounding a Spirit Vein, or its excrement serving as nutrient for the Spirit Vein, it far exceeds the normal First Rank Spirit Worm.
Moreover, the Second-stage Spirit Worm has one more crucial ability!
That is Spirit Qi Tide Guidance!
The Second-stage Spirit Worm can perceive the natural fluctuations of Spiritual Qi around a Spirit Vein.
It will, at the time of the Spiritual Qi tide, lead First Rank Spirit Worms through its wriggling and energy release to trigger a phenomenon akin to "Spiritual Qi Resonance."
This resonance can lead the external Spiritual Qi tide into the Spirit Vein, promoting its self-purification and upgrading.
The Hundred Beasts Sect has relied on the decades of hard work of its only Second-stage Spirit Worm in the sect.
Its Spirit Vein quality has already surpassed an average Third-rank Spirit Vein.
For this reason, the sudden appearance of a Second-stage Spirit Worm is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for the Hundred Beasts Sect, one they absolutely cannot let slip!
...
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Spirit Void Peak!
In the sky, a dazzling Escape Light shot from a distant place like a meteor, incredibly fast, and in an instant, disappeared into the lush forest of Spirit Void Peak.
A quarter of an hour quietly passed.
The Escape Light landed steadily on an open space within the forest.
As soon as the Escape Light landed, Pang Po and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly approached.
Only to see Pang Po's face full of enthusiastic smiles, hands clasped in salute, respectfully saying, "Friend Li, it must have been quite a tiring journey."
Xu Ping smiled slightly, clasped his hands in return, and said in a calm tone, "Friend Pang, you are too kind, it was just a relatively short journey, not much of a hardship."
Pang Po's smile grew wider, he turned to face the cultivators behind him, and said to Xu Ping, "Let me introduce you, these are the deacons of our sect, this is Jin Jia..."
This time, including Pang Po, there were a total of five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Sect who came.
Among them, one was at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, two were at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and the remaining two at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.
As Pang Po spoke, he gestured, pointing to a plain-looking black-faced man beside him, smiling as he introduced, "This is Friend Song Li, who, like Friend Xu, is also at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."
"Friend Li." Song Li nodded slightly, giving Xu Ping a simple greeting.
Before his words trailed off, his Divine Sense extended silently like an invisible tentacle, brushing over Xu Ping like a gentle breeze without leaving a trace.
In his heart, he thought to himself, "This person is not disguised."
