After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 54 The Lawn-Mowing Plan

Xiao Fan was originally a cultivator with dual spiritual roots of metal and water, whose talent was second only to cultivators with single spiritual roots. In less than half a year after joining the Qingyun Sect, he had already become a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at the age of 16.

Such talent was the envy of many Qingyun Sect cultivators who entered the sect at the same time. Xiao Fan could have easily entered the Foundation Establishment stage by simply staying in the sect and cultivating at will.

However, a secret realm appeared, and it was said that there were many precious spiritual herbs inside. Xiao Fan was tempted, thinking that his cultivation at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining was already at the top level in the Qi Refining stage, and he could not just take treasures and spiritual herbs casually.

So, Xiao Fan entered the secret realm with full confidence. Sure enough, the first few days in the secret realm went very smoothly, and he obtained a lot of precious spiritual herbs.

Subsequently, when encountering sporadic second-tier monsters, Xiao Fan managed to cope with the challenges.

Out of caution, after meeting several fellow disciples of the Qingyun Sect, he decided to travel with them.

As time went by, the number of Qingyun Sect disciples joining Xiao Fan's team gradually increased, and now it has reached nearly 30 people.

On this day, Xiao Fan had just returned from treasure hunting and immediately went back to his resting place to meditate and cultivate diligently. At this moment, he could clearly sense the signs that he was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Just then, a fierce fight broke out outside, accompanied by urgent cries from Qingyun Sect disciples for reinforcements.

Xiao Fan immediately got up and rushed outside.

As soon as they got outside, they saw that many Qingyun Sect disciples had fallen into pools of blood, and some disciples were already engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person approaching was actually a cultivator from the White Tiger Sect.

Xiao Fan, after all, was one of the top combatants of the Qingyun Sect. Bian Zhan shouted loudly to the leader of the White Tiger Sect, "Fellow Daoists of the White Tiger Sect on the other side,..."

"You killed so many innocent cultivators of my Qingyun Sect without considering the consequences after the secret realm ended?"

The group charging towards the Qingyun Sect cultivators was the White Tiger Sect team, including Tang Chao and Ye Xiaobai.

About half an hour ago, Ye Xiaobai successfully discovered the whereabouts of this group of Qingyun Sect cultivators and promptly informed Tang Chao and his companions. The group then launched a swift attack, eliminating the need for a sneak attack.

Now, this team, equipped with multiple spiritual artifacts, can easily defeat Qi Refining cultivators of the same level who only possess magical artifacts.

After Tang Chao killed a Qingyun Sect cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining with a single strike, he said calmly, "When the Qingyun Sect cultivators harmed my White Tiger Sect cultivators without cause, I wonder where you were?"

"You!" Faced with Tang Chao's questioning, Xiao Fan was momentarily speechless, unable to respond. After all, the conflict between the Qingyun Sect and the White Tiger Sect had already escalated to the point of irreconcilable enmity.

If the two sides meet, they will definitely fight to the death.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's settle this with our strength!" Tang Chao said, and then engaged in fierce combat with another Qingyun Sect cultivator.

After fighting for a while, Xiao Fan noticed that the number of Qingyun Sect members was decreasing. Under normal circumstances, the strength of Qingyun Sect cultivators was stronger than that of Baihu Sect.

However, when they got closer to Tang Chao and Ye Xiaobai, they discovered that several members of the Qingyun Sect were fighting with magical weapons. This meant that the Qingyun Sect had no chance of winning, since there were practically no magical weapons here.

Spiritual artifacts are inherently rare, especially among Qi Refining stage cultivators. Only a few second-generation immortals can possess them, given their exorbitant prices.

Even a low-grade spiritual artifact requires tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Seeing that the Qingyun Sect cultivators were gradually losing ground and unable to resist, Xiao Fan had no choice but to retreat. Those cultivators who realized the unfavorable situation also began to retreat quickly, scattering and fleeing to distant places.

Ye Xiaobai and his group did not continue their pursuit. After completely eliminating the remaining Qingyun Sect cultivators, they began to clean up and tidy up the battlefield.

The first "mowing operation" was a great success, with only a few Qingyun Sect cultivators escaping. Among them, Xiao Fan was one of the lucky ones, largely because he was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

This is Ye Xiaobai's "Grass-Cutting Plan." Ye Xiaobai, Tang Chao, Liu Cheng, and others will wield spiritual weapons, like a sharp blade, to penetrate the enemy's ranks, causing chaos. Then, the remaining White Tiger Sect cultivators will surround and attack, thus eliminating most of the enemy's fighting force, just like "cutting grass."

The key to this method lies in the fact that Ye Xiaobai and his companions possess multiple spiritual artifacts, while the enemy lacks them. Furthermore, the enemy's numbers are not too large; otherwise, they would have been surrounded and killed.

After this battle, Ye Xiaobai and the others gained a considerable amount of spiritual herbs, spirit stones, and magical artifacts. Now, Ye Xiaobai is even starting to look down on magical artifacts, since they all possess spiritual artifacts now. But every little bit helps, and they can still sell them for some spirit stones.

Next came another period of rest and recuperation.

Five days later, everyone had finished resting, and Ye Xiaobai's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Once they left the secret realm, they could prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Then it's time to start the next wave of "mowing the lawn"!

……

At Xiao Fan's place.

Since escaping from Ye Xiaobai and the others, Xiao Fan first found a quiet place to hide for a few days. He was relieved to find that the White Tiger Sect had not pursued him.

It would be safer to gather in a large group. After making his decision, Xiao Fan immediately set off in a certain direction.

Xiao Fan was lucky; he found several disciples of the Qingyun Sect in less than a day, and they traveled together. A few days later, the number of Qingyun Sect cultivators gathered had reached more than a dozen, and Xiao Fan felt that he could finally relax.

So, after returning from his trip, Xiao Fan prepared to meditate and try to find the feeling of his previous Foundation Establishment. Half an hour later, just as he was starting to feel a breakthrough, he heard a commotion outside the camp.

Xiao Fan immediately sensed something was wrong. After going outside, he saw familiar faces. It was Ye Xiaobai, Tang Chao, and others carrying out "mowing grass".

Xiao Fan naturally knew that his dozen or so men were no match for Ye Xiaobai and his group, so he immediately urged his fellow disciples to retreat, "Junior brothers, retreat quickly! The disciples from the White Tiger Sect are very strong!"

"Senior Brother Xiao, you're boosting the morale of others while diminishing the spirit of your own people. You're retreating before the fight even begins?" said a Qingyun Sect disciple with a full beard.

"Junior brother, most of our group of about 30 people were killed or injured, but I still managed to escape," Xiao Fan explained.

The Qingyun Sect disciple scoffed, "We killed over 30 White Tiger Sect disciples with just a dozen of us before. Senior brother, you can see how junior brother performed."

After all, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect are generally stronger than those of the Baihu Sect. Previously, the disciples of the Baihu Sect would avoid the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

A group of confident Qingyun Sect cultivators charged directly at Ye Xiaobai and his group. The outcome was predictable: all the Qingyun Sect disciples who attacked were killed. Only then did the others believe Xiao Fan's words and immediately scattered and fled.

How many can run now?
