Chapter 383: Chapter 218: Harvesting the Seventh-Grade Opportunity, The War Ends - Part 2
However, now seeing Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei appear, they had to believe.
Thinking it over carefully, it makes sense; those with such ability who are also willing to help them in Foundation Establishment are really few in number.
And Fellow Daoist Jiang is one of them.
"Fellow Daoists, I trust you’ve been well."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly, cupping his hands towards everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it’s been years, yet you saved our lives once more."
Elder Alchemist Wei Song said with much emotion, his expression quite complex.
Originally, he intended to repay the favor, but who could have thought that the other party would save him once more.
Instead, the other’s kindness was greater.
"It was just a fortuitous encounter, fellow Daoists need not mind."
Jiang Fan waved his hand, speaking quite modestly.
If it weren’t for the opportunity’s guidance, he wouldn’t have come here.
It can only be said that these people’s fate was indeed not meant to end.
"Wait, isn’t that Fellow Daoist Jiang’s Dao companion?"
"A few years ago, she was merely a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator, and now she’s in Foundation Establishment?"
At this time, Yu Kelian noticed Su Weiwei.
She was suddenly taken aback, finding it simply hard to believe.
Because a few years ago, Su Weiwei was merely a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator, and it seemed unlikely she could advance to Foundation Establishment.
But now, in the blink of an eye, she’s become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which is simply too exaggerated.
"These years brought some opportunities, and I luckily advanced to Foundation Establishment."
Su Weiwei smiled gently.
She felt quite emotional inside.
Previously, she was just an ornament to her husband, but since her advancement to Foundation Establishment, others could no longer ignore her, and she too had become a significant cultivator.
After all, the weight of Foundation Establishment is not light.
"Some opportunities?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Kelian and others couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
In the past, they suffered countless hardships to become Foundation Establishment.
But this woman seemed to have advanced to Foundation Establishment with little difficulty.
How could the gap between people be so vast?
"It seems Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Su reaped great benefits in the Yiling Island Group these years."
Elder Alchemist Wei Song could sense the enormous progress in Jiang Fan’s cultivation compared to before.
However, since Jiang Fan used a Perfection Level Breath Concealment Talisman, outsiders can’t perceive his level of cultivation.
Therefore, Elder Alchemist Wei Song could only rely on intuition.
He instinctively realized that since the Dao companion could advance to Foundation Establishment, Jiang Fan’s cultivation must have improved greatly as well.
Otherwise, the previous strike wouldn’t have heavily damaged seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Indeed, there have been some harvests."
"But Fellow Daoist Wei, what exactly happened just now?"
"Why were you being pursued by so many Foundation Establishments?"
Jiang Fan questioned in return; he didn’t want to talk much about his affairs, rather he asked about the Foundation Establishment cultivators to steer the topic away.
"This affair is long to explain."
"They are Foundation Establishment cultivators from the territory of Shennong Sect."
"Previously, we were recruited by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and fight Shennong Sect."
"After a big battle, both sides suffered innumerable casualties."
"Surviving cultivators also became enemies with the other party."
"Although Shennong Sect and the Profound Celestial Sword Sect recently agreed on a ceasefire, hence temporarily ending the war."
"But cultivators like us who made enemies during the war won’t stop fighting."
"These Foundation Establishment cultivators from Shennong Sect are such examples."
"They somehow found out about us and ambushed us here."
"Luckily, Fellow Daoist Jiang rescued us; otherwise, we would have faced disaster."
Elder Alchemist Wei Song sighed with emotion as he recounted the events of the past few years.
Clearly, after being forcefully recruited by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, they entered the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
The battlefield was fierce, with numerous cultivators falling.
Fortunately, he had rich combat experience and solid connections, so he didn’t encounter too much danger.
But even so, over the years, he had killed quite a number of Shennong Sect cultivators, forming enmities with them.
Even though the war is over, the hate hasn’t ended; rather, it has just begun.
"The war is over?"
"Did Shennong Sect and Profound Celestial Sword Sect really cease fighting like this?"
"What happened to the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?"
Jiang Fan curiously asked.
He hadn’t expected that after years of fighting, the two sides still hadn’t settled the outcome.
Now, they actually agreed to a ceasefire.
In this back-and-forth battle, it is the low-tier cultivators who suffer the most casualties.
On the contrary, not many high-tier cultivators were injured or killed.
"That’s right, the ceasefire is indeed true."
"After years of fighting, neither side could overcome the other."
"So the two major sects agreed to a ceasefire and plan to jointly develop this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion."
"However, the restriction array in this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion is just too strong."
"Even now, the core array of this mansion has not been breached."
"So we summoned cultivators can also return, no need to continue participating in the war."
"In the short term, the two major sects are now in a period of peace."
"Therefore, Fellow Daoist Jiang returns at just the right time, no need to worry about being forcibly recruited by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."
Elder Alchemist Wei Song said in a solemn tone.
To be honest, he wasn’t too concerned about participating in the war.
As long as one survives, every Foundation Establishment cultivator can gain substantial benefits.
This time was no exception.
Many Foundation Establishment cultivators of Seven Stars Peak had received considerable benefits, with significant improvements in cultivation.
Although the Profound Celestial Sword Sect is indeed overbearing, at least the benefits are plentiful, and they do not withhold their rewards.
"Hehe, the war between the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Shennong Sect is really suspicious."
"Fighting back and forth, both sides remain unaffected, while low-tier cultivators suffer massive casualties."
"It seems these two Nascent Soul sects did it on purpose."
"The purpose is to deplete a large number of low-tier cultivators, including loose cultivators."
"After all, if there are too many cultivators, a great deal of cultivation resources is required."
"So periodically, they deliberately start wars."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace sneered.
It was very aware of the intrigues of these Nascent Soul sects.
If they truly intended a sect-extermination war, deploying Nascent Soul cultivators would suffice.
In the Cultivation Realm, wars among low-tier cultivators are meaningless.
As long as victory is decided among high-tier cultivators, the war is essentially over.
But in this war, high-tier cultivators hardly mobilized, while low-tier cultivators fought desperately.
Thus, the intentions of these two major sects are clearly revealed.
"Deliberately depleting the number of low-tier cultivators?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
He felt this possibility was indeed very high.
Because resources in the Cultivation Realm are limited, spirit veins are also limited.
However, with time, the number of cultivators gradually increases.
They all need to consume large amounts of resources for cultivation.
The problem is, where could the Cultivation Realm get so many resources?
This also causes prices in the Cultivation Realm to rise steadily.
So these Nascent Soul sects periodically wage wars to maintain the cultivator population at a certain level.
In this way, it prevents a huge number of cultivators from frantically depleting the Cultivation Realm’s resources.
To some extent, such a decision is indeed quite rational and correct.
But for low-tier cultivators, it is extremely cruel.
"Fellow Daoists, whatever the matter, let’s discuss it back at Seven Stars Peak."
"I worry that these Shennong Sect Foundation Establishments may have allies."
"If we stay here, something unexpected might happen."
At this moment, Chang Lisheng immediately spoke up, thinking this wasn’t the right place for discussion, better to return to Seven Stars Peak.
"Indeed."
Other Foundation Establishment cultivators nodded in agreement without consulting each other.
A group promptly took action, destroying the corpses of these Foundation Establishment cultivators, gaining eight Storage Bags.
Evidently, these Storage Bags were left by the Shennong Sect Foundation Establishments.
With Jiang Fan’s greatest contribution, he naturally received four Storage Bags.
Wei Song, Chang Lisheng, Lian Minglan, and Yu Kelian each got one.
After all, they knew that without Jiang Fan’s intervention, they would have certainly died this time.
Although they sacrificed some interests, it was worthwhile.
They wouldn’t foolishly offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator with unlimited potential.
"Are these four Storage Bags the Seventh-Grade Opportunity?"
At this moment, Jiang Fan realized the true Seventh-Grade Opportunity he gained this time.
Clearly, the Shennong Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators must have carried considerable valuables.
Simultaneously saving Wei Song and the others, he also laid a solid foundation for his future at Seven Stars Peak.
This really was killing two birds with one stone.
In no time, Jiang Fan and the others quickly returned to Seven Stars Peak.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as no other enemies pursued them.
Upon returning to Seven Stars Peak, they were thoroughly safe.
