Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”After the fierce battle between the Six Dao Saint and Scorching Sun Swordsman, the Six Dao Saint, Yin Dao, once again used a secret technique to flee...”

”Since then, the Six Dao Saint concealed his presence and did not show himself before others, and the Scorching Sun Swordsman did the same to avoid detection by the Six Dao Saint. Both of their whereabouts are unknown.”

Jiang Ding flew in the sky.

The ever-increasing number of Golden Pill Monks within a radius of a thousand miles served as his eyes and ears, bringing him a constant stream of information, including the locations and types of Elixir plants. Their abundant number and variety could have piled up to bury a Golden Pill Monk.

Unfortunately, his cultivation did not require the aid of Elixirs; he merely needed to naturally absorb the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, so the fluctuations in his Lake of Heart were not significant.

”Third-order metal-type Elixir plants can be used to refine the Flying Sword, much like the third-order Gold Dragon Bamboo given to me by Hua Xiaohua... To foster the growth of the Taiqing Flying Sword, it needs to consume various metal-type materials to enhance its sharpness and spirituality.”

Thinking of these matters, Jiang Ding allocated uses for a hoard of metal-type Elixir plants in the storeroom.

”The Blood Cloud Eighteen Knights have been spotted. Through an internal friend, it is known that their numbers range from one hundred thirty to one hundred fifty, including the Northern Plains’ formidable Blood Cloud and other Blood Riders. Heeding your instructions, we dared not to approach and scout the powerful enemy and have already retreated three hundred miles.”

At this moment, a Golden Pill Monk transmitted scenes through the One-Eyed Cicada.

Jiang Ding grew interested and opened the transmitted images.

The perspective seemed to be from a Golden Pill Monk close to the core of the Blood Cloud Eighteen Knights.

This was not strange; the Blood Cloud Eighteen Knights were a mixed bag of characters, not much stronger than his own newly-formed organization. It was not difficult to obtain intelligence with appropriate rewards.

In the images, a man in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair and a face full of overlapping wrinkles looked into the distance, pondering something.

Though his figure was somewhat stooped, one could still feel an ascending and forthright aura about him that made people involuntarily draw near, eliciting a sense of goodwill.

”Is that Blood Cloud?”

Jiang Ding frowned slightly and recalled the relevant information from his Sea of Consciousness.

A young man with remarkable presence and a handsome, spirited appearance was contrasted with the old man with white hair in front of him.

”It’s him.”

”For some unknown reason, his Life Energy has drastically depleted, and so has his potential.”

After a moment, Jiang Ding deduced the situation and felt somewhat displeased.

Blood Cloud was someone he had invested his attention in, hoping he would cause unrest in the Northern Plains’ family rule in the future and draw more attention, allowing Jiang Ding to grow more smoothly and, eventually, making it easier to take over the Northern Plains.

Now, it seemed like Blood Cloud’s life was about to be cut short?

”Forget it, it doesn’t matter; the world doesn’t belong to one person.”

”The same goes for the elite.”

Jiang Ding thought about it and soon came to terms with it.

”There is no shortage of talents in this world. Immortal Baimei, Blood Cloud’s third rider Vajra Iron Bone, fourth rider Blood Spear General Hei Loucheng, and many other Golden Pill Peak Cultivators. Their talents and abilities are naturally a bit inferior, but they are numerous. With Nascent Soul Cultivation Methods and accumulation, Nascent Soul Monks will eventually emerge, capable of taking on the historical mission.”

”Now, let’s go meet this renowned and formidable figure of the Northern Plains.”

”If he is willing to work for me, he lives; otherwise, he dies.”

”The charges will start from Tushan Immortal City; by allowing your subordinates to attack me, you are also responsible.”

Jiang Ding accelerated his pace.

At the moment he increased speed, various commands were dispatched in all directions. Golden Pill Monks, whether they were in battle, gathering herbs, or breaking formations, quickly finished their tasks. Those unable to complete their tasks immediately used magic to seal them off.
