In the Copper Sand Sea, there were few places where one could find a good match. The Crimson Fire Ants had long been restless on the ground. As soon as several corpses hit the ground, they swarmed in to feast.
If one was going to play dead, they had to do it thoroughly. Ruan Jingtian dared not move an inch, nor did he dare to release his Divine Sense. Only when he truly could not bear it any longer did he shake off the swarm of Crimson Fire Ants. At that moment, Guo Huai had long since vanished. Ruan Jingtian managed to escape from the Copper Sand Sea, narrowly saving his life.
However, he was severely injured this time, nearly falling a Realm. Fortunately, as the leader of a faction, he had accumulated resources over time. He swallowed various pills in a frenzy just to prevent his Realm from dropping. But the loss of an arm and the external injuries he sustained were beyond his ability to recover from. The reason was simple: the Crimson Fire Ants were poisonous. It was already a stroke of luck that he hadn’t lost his life.
Although Ruan Jingtian did not know the whereabouts of Qin Xiaotian and Xi Dao Jing, he felt hopeless about the remaining two groups of people solely based on Guo Huai's strength as a Foundation Stage Cultivator and his speed in sword flight.
Xunuo sighed deeply. He felt heartbroken over Xi Dao Jing and the others perishing in the Killing Sea, yet he was powerless to help Ruan Jingtian in this situation. Ruan Jingtian took it all in stride and soon shifted their conversation to this exploration of the Ancient Cultivation Cave.
Having been trapped at the Foundation Stage for too long, Ruan Jingtian felt that this exploration of the Ancient Cultivation Cave was imperative. Originally, if Xunuo had not participated, Ruan Jingtian would not have considered collaborating with these Loose Cultivators at all.
But now that Xunuo was involved, Ruan Jingtian no longer had confidence in sweeping through the other cultivators. The presence or absence of magical artifacts made a significant difference in a Cultivator's strength. Ruan Jingtian needed to reach a consensus with Xunuo on this matter and form an alliance.
Ruan Jingtian's request was quite simple: if they found only one Foundation Pill during this exploration of the Ancient Cultivation Cave, it would belong entirely to him. If there were any extras, Xunuo could take them all.
Xunuo thought for a moment and realized he was no match for Ruan Jingtian. He reluctantly agreed, feeling unlucky about it. The two then began discussing specific action plans in detail. They prepared several contingency plans based on various scenarios that might arise after discovering the Foundation Pill. However, when it came to entering the Ancient Cultivation Cave, Ruan Jingtian expressed deep concern.
Although Ruan Jingtian had never personally explored the Ancient Cultivation Cave, he had heard too many rumors about it. The Ancient Cultivation Cave was mostly sealed by ancient Restrictions. Nowadays, very few Cultivators could pass through; most relied on brute force to break through.
It was similar to the current Defensive Array. If you had enough magical power, you could easily break through it. If your magical power was insufficient and your methods were lacking, you would only end up Wasted Effort and embarrassed. But what if you encountered an attacking formation? That might cost you your life.
Ancient Restrictions were no different. From what Ruan Jingtian knew, many Cultivators who sought out the Ancient Cultivation Cave had perished due to its Restrictions. He shared his concerns with Xunuo, who couldn't help but feel bewildered as well.
Xunuo was puzzled as to why Ruan Jingtian would say such things. He had long anticipated the dangers of exploring the Ancient Cultivation Cave. However, hearing these words from Ruan Jingtian's mouth made Xunuo ponder deeply. He believed that he and Ruan Jingtian did not share a profound friendship, and there was no reason for such concern.
In truth, Ruan Jingtian did not hold high hopes for this visit to the Ancient Cultivation Cave. The strength of their team was too weak, and they lacked the means to break the restrictions. They were far inferior to the Crimson Flame Hall he once managed. Ruan Jingtian's main purpose in joining this expedition was to ascertain the exact location of the Ancient Cultivation Cave. It would be more realistic for him to gather a capable team later to break into the cave.
Xunuo, on the other hand, was a pawn prepared for his next move. Ruan Jingtian needed to ensure Xunuo's survival. After all, Xunuo's magical tools and spell techniques far surpassed those of an ordinary Loose Cultivator. Moreover, Xunuo's identity as an Alchemist made Ruan Jingtian see potential for assistance. Even if Ruan Jingtian advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would find it difficult to make further breakthroughs without the aid of spirit stones.
After pondering for a long time, Xunuo could not decipher Ruan Jingtian's thoughts and could only remain on high alert. The two discussed their plans throughout the night, and then Ruan Jingtian casually retreated to his room.
A few days later, the invited Loose Cultivators arrived. When everyone went down to take a look, they found that two people had come this time.
Master Wu Fa was immediately dissatisfied. With a cold expression, he said to Qiu Chengyu, "The formation requires only nine people, yet you have assembled a team of ten. Can you guarantee that there are enough Foundation Pills in the Ancient Cultivation Cave for distribution? I don't care about anything else; I must secure one Foundation Pill for myself. Let me make it clear from the start: do not blame me later if I become angry or harbor ill thoughts."
Qiu Chengyu remained unfazed and chuckled lightly. "The Comprehend the Array Master Thunder Law is indeed a great asset for us. However, entering the Ancient Cultivation Cave means unforeseen circumstances may arise at any moment. We will naturally decide how to distribute what we obtain based on our contributions. The two friends I invited include one who possesses a Wind Spiritual Root and another who practices a peculiar Cultivation Method that allows them to traverse through Yin Qi ghost mists. May I ask if the Comprehend the Array Master can replace them?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jingtian felt a stir in his heart; he had not expected Qiu Chengyu to have such preparations, which gave him a glimmer of hope for this expedition. Master Wu Fa's face flushed red as he found himself at a loss for words.
