"Guiyuan Skill..."

The Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder looked at the booklet, on the cover of which were the three words "Guiyuan Skill."

The Grand Elder took the secret manual and couldn't wait to start reading it.

The Second Elder and Fifth Elder couldn't help but lean over to look at the contents of the manual.

A secret technique for cultivating immortality, this was a legendary cultivation technique for achieving immortality!

"Perceive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy... Absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into oneself... Cultivate Spiritual Power..."

"Guiyuan... Guiyuan..."

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable..."

The Grand Elder looked at the cultivation method of the Guiyuan Skill, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

This was truly an immortal technique.

A secret technique for cultivating immortality that could help one attain the Dao and achieve longevity!

Snap—

The Grand Elder resisted the urge to continue reading and try cultivating, and closed the Guiyuan Skill manual.

Phew

Phew, phew...

Three deep breaths were heard as the three elders of the Xing Family exchanged a glance, all seeing the intense excitement in each other's eyes.

An opportunity, a tremendous opportunity!

"Thank you, Priest!"

The Grand Elder cupped his fists towards the priest and said, "The Xing Family will certainly spare no effort to accomplish what we promised you!"

"Hmm."

"Remember my warning, if something feels off during cultivation, you can come to me."

"However, if you want me to help you resolve it, you will need to pay the corresponding price." The priest said indifferently.

After speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that the three elders could leave.

As they walked out of the shrine, the sunlight fell on the faces of the three elders, their eyes glimmering with brilliance in the sunlight.

"What does the priest mean by those words? Is he deliberately giving us a fake immortal cultivation technique?" The Second Elder said worriedly, recalling the priest's words.

"Not likely."

"He still needs us to cooperate, there's no need to give us a fake cultivation technique."

"According to our ancestral records, these immortal cultivation techniques seem to have some issues, but the methods recorded in the ancestral books should be able to circumvent the dangers and succeed in cultivation."

"When we go back, find someone to try cultivating first, if there's something wrong with the technique, it will quickly become apparent." The Grand Elder said.

He pondered for a moment and continued, "I will take it back first, wait until the task is completed, then return with the others."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

The Second Elder and Fifth Elder replied.

...

Outside Lion Valley, Lin Zheyu lay prone on a tree, watching the entrance direction.

The group from the Xing Family had entered the valley over an hour ago and hadn't come out yet.

"They're coming!"

Lin Zheyu's eyes moved, looking toward the entrance direction.

A figure quickly rushed out from within Lion Valley, moving at extreme speed and passing under the tree where Lin Zheyu was hiding in just a few breaths.

"Why is there only one person!"

Lin Zheyu was stunned, watching the person move away.

He hesitated but didn't chase after.

That person was very strong, Lin Zheyu couldn't see through them.

Their aura was obscure, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.

If the other's companions were present, Lin Zheyu could still use those people to restrain him, to tie the other's hands.

But with only the one person, he knew he wasn't their match.

"What a pity, there might be some good things on that person."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself, "Since the strongest has left alone, then those remaining won't leave..."

Among the remaining two, one was at the level of Qi Blood Second Transformation and one Qi Blood First Transformation, together no match for him.

For those who harbor ill intentions toward him, Lin Zheyu would not show mercy.

He adhered to the principle of nipping risks in the bud.

If someone intends to do him harm, or might do him harm, then he must strike first to eliminate the adverse factors!

He lay down again, hiding his body amid the tree leaves.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The sound of insects hummed beside his ear; various poisonous insects existed in the woods near Lion Valley.

Fortunately, Lin Zheyu had sprinkled Insect Repelling Powder on himself, able to ward off most poisonous insects.

Swish swish swish.

About half an hour later, someone appeared again.

Lin Zheyu squinted, looked toward the entrance, it was the group from the Xing Family.

"Finally came out!"

Lin Zheyu's expression moved, quietly trailing behind the Xing Family's group.

This was near the entrance of Lion Valley; making a move here could attract the strong individuals inside.

The road through the forest was not easy; those sturdy men leading the horses weren't moving very fast.

After walking for about an hour, they finally exited the fog-covered forest.

"Finally out, that forest is a damn nightmare to walk through."

A sturdy man at the front complained after stepping out of the forest.

Previously they were meant to deliver goods outside the forest, then the bandits from Lion Valley would personally come to receive them.

But this time seemed different, it appeared they were transporting precious items, even the Grand Elder personally came out.

"Everyone be careful, remain alert of the surroundings."

"Although I... Hmm, something's not right, hold your breath!"

The Second Elder's face suddenly changed mid-sentence, urgently speaking.

However, it was already a bit late.

Except for the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder, everyone else along with their horses staggered and fell to the ground in a dizzy swoon.

The Second Elder and Fifth Elder quickly closed in on each other.

The two stood back-to-back, each taking out a medicine pill from their bosoms and swallowing it.

"It's the Zhao Family's Night Orchid!" The Fifth Elder said solemnly.

He had some knowledge about poisons; as a competitor, he had studied some of the Zhao Family's classic poisons and could recognize them.

"Hmph, since you are here, why not come out and meet us!" The Second Elder said coldly, his voice loud and spreading through the forest.
