Chapter 202
Xu Zhongqing said, "If you guys are reluctant, then just one more attack. If you can break the formation, you'll have achieved your goal. If you can't, well, you'll have to think of something else! As for the Spirit Stones used before, I can't refund them. They've all been swallowed by Linglong Mountain."
Radix Notoginseng's face turned red, a sign of extreme anger. He had never encountered such a shameless person before. After a moment, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "Are you sure... how many times can you break the formation?"
Xu Zhongqing chuckled, "Not counting the previous attempts, at least three more attacks. That is, fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones. It's not much, really. You've already used a large amount, you won't care about this little bit of Spirit Stones, right? Hehe..."
Damn you!
Radix Notoginseng cursed inwardly! historical

But no matter how much he cursed, it was useless. The other party was clearly extorting him, take it or leave it!
He felt extremely frustrated. This anger was burning in his stomach, making his eyes red. But he had no choice but to give in. Now, he was relying on breaking the main peak's defense and then robbing the Heart Sect. Maybe he could make up for the loss.
In the end, Radix Notoginseng and Oni managed to scrape together fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones. They were almost penniless. Of course, they still had plenty of middle and low-grade Spirit Stones. But almost all of their high-grade Spirit Stones were taken by Xu Zhongqing. No, they were taken by Linglong Mountain, allowing it to exert its maximum power.
After obtaining this treasure, Xu Zhongqing had been thinking about how to use it freely. But after discovering its secret, he had become somewhat desperate.
Getting so many high-grade Spirit Stones from a rogue cultivator was too difficult. The key was that only high-grade Spirit Stones could activate it. Middle and low-grade Spirit Stones were useless. He had tried using them, and while Linglong Mountain would swallow them, there was no reaction afterwards.
This had caused him to resent it for a long time. But gradually, he had given up on the idea of activating it. Until this opportunity came along, Xu Zhongqing didn't hesitate to take action, ruthlessly fleecing Radix Notoginseng. The other party was clearly in extreme pain, but still obediently handed over the Spirit Stones, which made Xu Zhongqing feel great.
Taking out Linglong Mountain again, Xu Zhongqing didn't hesitate to put the fifty-four high-grade Spirit Stones into it.
Radix Notoginseng said, "So, we can attack four times... I hope you can do it, senior brother!"
Xu Zhongqing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I guarantee to break their defense formation, haha!" He laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied. With Linglong Mountain having consumed so many high-grade Spirit Stones, it would be enough for seventeen or eighteen attacks, let alone four.
They returned to the vicinity of the main peak of the Heart Sect.
Radix Notoginseng was furious, but he couldn't fall out with Xu Zhongqing. So, he vented his anger on the Heart Sect. He said, "Everyone, get ready. Once the defense formation is broken, we'll all rush in together. I don't want a single one of them alive!"

Mi Xiaojing had no more pills to refine. The materials that could be gathered had basically all been refined. The remaining materials were hard to use together. He was now completely idle.
However, the Spirit Pills that Mi Xiaojing had refined had almost completely healed the injured cultivators on the main peak. This made the Elemental Infant stage experts very satisfied. Having such a Pill Master could indeed greatly enhance the strength of the sect.
All the cultivators on the main peak had seen Mi Xiaojing's alchemy skills. They were incredibly strong. With his cultivation level, he could actually refine so many Spirit Pills. It was simply unbelievable. This earned Mi Xiaojing the respect of everyone.
But Mi Xiaojing was becoming more and more nervous. According to Wang Weijun, the Heart Sect couldn't hold on any longer. The fact that they had managed to hold on until now was already a blessing.
If at the beginning, the sect's cultivators and the experts they had invited had all gone out to fight together, there might have been a chance of winning. More likely, they could have driven the enemy away. But now it was very difficult. The enemy was calmly making arrangements, and the Heart Sect had almost no chance of defeating them. The opportunity was gone.
Mi Xiaojing checked his equipment over and over again. Although he was a bit nervous, he was only just that, nervous. He wasn't too afraid of anything else.
Having been in the Heart Sect for so long, Mi Xiaojing had indeed obtained some treasures. Just for escaping, he had a great escape talisman. This could ensure that he could escape quickly before encountering a powerful enemy.
Mo Yuer had already been taken away by Wanbao, and Yong Ji had also left. In front of the main hall of the sect, there were still many cultivators meditating. There were both Foundation Establishment stage and Elemental Infant stage cultivators. The spiritual qi here was rich, making it one of the best places to recover.
Fortunately, there hadn't been any fights recently. Those who had been injured before had time to heal, and most of them had already recovered. The reason they stayed here and didn't leave was because the spiritual qi was abundant, which was very beneficial for cultivation. These people had never had the opportunity to cultivate here before, and many of them didn't want to leave once they came.
But Yu Hong and the others were sitting on the top of the main peak. They all felt that something was wrong. The Vast Gold Sect had been quiet for several days, as if they were brewing something. There were many methods in the Cultivation World, many of which required time to set up. They all felt this unease, and the intuition of cultivators was usually very accurate.
Yu Hong said, "Junior sister, if it really doesn't work, we'll have to disturb him... Sigh, I didn't expect that this time, our Heart Sect would be so passive."
Azure Descent Immortal Maiden hesitated for a moment, then said, "We haven't reached that point yet, have we..."
Mo Chentian gave a bitter smile, "We should still go and inform him. If he doesn't want to, we'll think of something else."
Brahman Sa said, "Hey, who are you guys talking about? Who else in the Heart Sect could you call 'elder'?"
Yu Hong said, "An elder..."
Brahman Sa was shocked, "An elder! You have an elder, and you're still being attacked at your sect?"
Azure Descent Immortal Maiden explained, "This elder is in seclusion... deep seclusion... We don't know if we can reach him. He has been in seclusion for 130 years, without any news."
Brahman Sa and Yin Jin were both stunned. There was actually such a powerful person. The Heart Sect really kept their cards close to their chest!Yu Hong didn't want to disturb this senior at all. He knew a lot and understood that if this senior was not coming out of seclusion on his own, but was awakened instead, the consequences would be quite severe. However, he had no other choice at this point. His sense of crisis was growing stronger, and he was genuinely afraid that the entire Heart Sect would be destroyed by his own hands.
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden left directly, flying towards the location of the sect's main hall. In a moment, she entered the underground Mysterious Heaven Formation. That senior was in seclusion within the Mysterious Heaven Formation, in a very hidden location.
Brahman Sa watched the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden leave and said, "I find it strange. Your Heart Sect is, after all, a historically long-standing cultivation sect. How come you don't have many good things?" (To be continued.)
