Actually, unless absolutely necessary, Xu Wendong did not want to summon the Slayer Vine to deal with the second boss of the Azure Dragon Stronghold.
Because once the Slayer Vine appeared, not even a blade of grass would survive around it, and everyone would be attacked and lose their lives.
Even though the second boss wanted to kill him, other mbers of the Azure Dragon Stronghold were innocent.
Plus, the third boss, Lu You, had given him a tip-off, hoping that he would show rcy to the subordinates of the Azure Dragon Stronghold.
Therefore.
Xu Wendong had to prepare in advance to avoid summoning the Slayer Vine as much as possible.
By evening.
He once again arrived at the Shaanxi Province Airport.
It was his old friend Qian Duoduo who picked him up, driving a black business car. After picking up Xu Wendong, they headed to the luxurious Qian Family Villa in Shaanxi Province.
At that ti, the servants of the Qian Family had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Qian Wantian also took out two bottles of aged Maotai, rare on the market, each worth several hundred thousand.
"Uncle Qian, you are treating this junior too well!" Xu Wendong exclaid, although Qian Wantian was the richest man in Shaanxi Province, with vast assets; Maotai of this kind wasn’t sothing money could easily buy.
Qian Wantian laughed heartily, "I’m basking in your glory; if you weren’t here, I wouldn’t bear to drink these two bottles."
One had to admit that Qian Wantian’s emotional intelligence was indeed high.
Without it.
How could he navigate the business world so seamlessly and beco the wealthiest man in Shaanxi Province?
"Co, co, everyone taste this Maotai." Qian Wantian said with a smile, raising his glass.
After enjoying the lavish dinner.
Qian Wantian retrieved a small coded safe from the vault. Inside were over ten oval-shaped, top-quality Hetian Seed Jades with different colors.
"Luckily, I have so Hetian Seed Jades in my collection, otherwise I wouldn’t find such in a short ti."
Xu Wendong had called Qian Wantian while boarding the plane, asking him to help find so fine jade stones. These jades, although few in number and small in size, each boasted a value over one hundred thousand per gram.
These jade stones were treasures he had accumulated over his lifeti, each could beco a family heirloom.
Xu Wendong took the safe, the quality of these jades was truly high, although the spiritual energy wasn’t as dense as in spirit stones, the jade quality surpassed them.
They could be completely used to craft protective amulets and invisibility talismans.
Closing the safe, he said, "Uncle Qian, give an account, I’ll transfer the money..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qian Wantian interrupted, displeased: "Give money? Wendong, are you trying to disgrace ?"
Xu Wendong felt thoroughly embarrassed.
Although he had saved Qian Duoduo’s life and helped Qian Wantian break through his bottleneck, the Qian Family had given him so many benefits.
"Well, I won’t give you money then. I’ll set up a Spirit Gathering Array here for you." Xu Wendong knew that Qian Wantian had always wanted to beco a cultivator, but unfortunately, he had practiced martial arts.
Martial arts and cultivation were very different.
Although he couldn’t help Qian Wantian beco a cultivator now, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array could subtly improve his constitution.
Xu Wendong was a man of action; he said it and got right to work, heading to the top floor of the Qian Family Villa to set up the Spirit Gathering Array.
Having set up a Spirit Gathering Array before.
So even though Xu Wendong had drunk a bit and was slightly tipsy,
He quickly activated the formation.
In an instant.
The surrounding spiritual energy converged from all directions towards the villa, leaving the Qian father and son excited, clearly feeling the presence of spiritual energy.
Bathing in the spiritual energy was indeed comfortable.
Qian Wantian couldn’t help but say, "Wendong, I see that setting up the formation isn’t hard, why do many cultivators say it’s ntally exhausting to set up a formation?"
"Don’t listen to their nonsense," Xu Wendong said, "Setting up a formation is simple, you just need hands!"
"······"
"······"
The Qian father and son looked astonished, feeling Xu Wendong was showing off.
Yes.
Setting up a formation was absolutely not as simple as he said.
"Uncle Qian, I’ll return to the room to cultivate first." Xu Wendong didn’t linger, going with Qian Duoduo to a spacious guest room on the second floor.
He first sat cross-legged to cultivate for a mont, and when his mind cleared of its tipsiness, he opened the jade stones given by Qian Wantian, and with intense focus, condensed his ntal power into invisible threads, and injected them into the jades, engraving a strengthened protective amulet.
Although talisman paper could also create protective amulets, those were consumable items, and the protection was far inferior to those made with jade.
With his current ability, the protective amulet he crafted could withstand the full power attack of a Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivator and withstand it three tis.
Of course, just having a protective amulet wasn’t nearly enough because against an absolute powerhouse, unless you have an inexhaustible supply of amulets, you’d still be slain once they ran out.
Besides the protective amulets, he also crafted two invisibility talismans, which not only could render a person invisible but also block their aura.
Each invisibility talisman could grant invisibility for ten minutes.
Even in the face of absolute powerhouses, paired with protective amulets, they could ensure his complete escape.
This was his capital to counter the Azure Dragon Stronghold.
The next day.
After breakfast, Xu Wendong bade farewell to the Qian father and son, then, driving a modified SUV by Qian Duoduo, headed straight towards the Kunlun Mountains.
Judging by the ti, the people of the Azure Dragon Stronghold were about to enter the mortal world as well.
Before leaving, Qian Wantian also gave Xu Wendong a map.
According to the coordinates on the map, one could enter the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
What Xu Wendong hadn’t expected was that the entrance to the Kunlun Mountains Minor World was in a place known to many.
Valley of Death!
This was a place known to many, rumored that any creature entering it would inexplicably die, thus the Kunlun Mountains Valley of Death beca a life-restricted area.
If viewed from the air, one could clearly see skeletons of humans and animals in the restricted area.
After traveling several hundred kiloters by car, by evening, the expansive snowy mountain plateau appeared before Xu Wendong’s eyes, with gale-force winds blowing and extrely low temperatures.
The sunset painted the snow-capped peaks with vivid gold, creating a strong visual impact.
The temperature here was also very low.
Although there wasn’t a thermoter, Xu Wendong felt there was at least a twenty-degree difference, resembling a cold winter freeze, and despite having a Fifth Level of Foundation Establishnt cultivation, impervious to cold and heat, he still felt sowhat uncomfortable.
Because there were no roads ahead, Xu Wendong had to park the vehicle at the base of the mountain, and then ventured into the endless and boundless mountains.
The mont he stepped into the Kunlun Mountain range, a cold breath swept over him, the cold wind like a knife, cutting into his face and causing a sharp pain.
Not only that, but even his phone lost the signal.
He put the phone into his storage treasure, marched forward with determination, and took the first step on his journey to find family!
