Everyone nodded in agreement. They entered the passage they had come from, smashed the stones blocking the way one by one, and stored them in their spatial talismans to take with them. This way, they wouldn't need to open a passage again when they came to the mine next time.

When they cleared the area where the blood pool used to be, it had been completely destroyed by the explosion, but wisps of bloody aura still seeped out from the cracks in the rocks.

Zhao Yuntian frowned, made a hand seal, and cast a Qingling Talisman. A golden light flashed, and the bloodthirsty aura instantly melted away like ice and snow.

"As expected, there are still remnants." Qing Xuanzi pointed to the collapsed rocks. "The Blood Spirit Crystal should be buried under there."

Several Xuan Master level experts joined forces to cast a spell, causing the broken stones to float into the air.

As the last boulder was removed, everyone gasped – dozens of blood-red, broken crystals were embedded in the rock strata, their surfaces covered with strange patterns.

"These are the contaminated blood spirit crystals; they must be purified as soon as possible."

Zhao Yuntian said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful. These blood spirit crystals contain extremely strong baleful energy. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the backlash."

Everyone nodded in agreement, each summoning their magical artifacts and carefully clearing away the surrounding rubble to expose all the Blood Spirit Crystals.

Zhao Yuntian, Qing Xuanzi, and several other Xuan Master realm experts stood at the forefront, their hand seals constantly changing, and beams of spiritual light shot out from their fingertips, enveloping the Blood Spirit Crystal fragments.

Rong Jiaojiao also unleashed the jade-white Nine Dragons Purification Seal to purify the area together.

Spiritual energy flowed through their bodies, continuously surging into the Blood Spirit Crystal.

As time went by, the black and red mist on the surface of the Blood Spirit Crystal gradually thinned, and the strange patterns began to slowly dissipate.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the last wisp of bloodthirsty energy was dispelled, and the strange patterns on the surface of the Blood Spirit Crystal completely disappeared. The color of the crystal gradually changed from scarlet to pure white, emitting a soft light.

Zhao Yuntian said, "Although these purified blood spirit crystals are all broken, they are of extremely high quality and can be used to refine magic weapons and draw talismans. I will give everyone a share as part of this harvest."

Seeing that no one had any objections, he collected the purified Blood Spirit Crystal fragments and distributed them according to everyone's contributions.

Everyone smiled as they received their items; the haul was even more plentiful than they had anticipated.

After Tianquan checked the bottom of the pool and the surrounding area and found no formations, he led everyone to clear a path leading to the ground.

Upon reaching the ground, the three Celestial Masters worked together to set up an array at the cave entrance before saying to everyone, "Those who want to continue their training in the rainforest can stay, and those who want to go back can come with us."

These words were spoken by Zhao Yuntian. Since Qing Xuanzi and Rong Jiaojiao would not be returning for the time being, he stepped forward first, clasped his hands in greeting to the three seniors, and said, "My master and I came out to gain experience, so we will not be going back for the time being."

Zhao Yuntian nodded: "Then be careful. We don't know if there are any remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect in the Rainforest. Don't be careless."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. Then we, master and disciple, will not linger any longer and will take our leave now!"

He clasped his hands in farewell to those around him, and Rong Jiaojiao also said goodbye to Lin Xiaoman. The two exchanged message tokens and agreed to communicate with each other when they had the chance.

Jun Yuangui took out two jade tablets, giving one to Rong Jiaojiao and saying, "This is a communication jade slip I made with top-grade spiritual jade. My spiritual essence is preserved here. Take it and you can contact me if you need anything in the future."

“You can still contact us from the rainforest to our sacred mountain.” After explaining this further, he handed over another jade tablet: “This one is mine. Leave your spiritual essence here, and you can ask me anything you don’t understand.”

Rong Jiaojiao asked with bright eyes, "Do you have any extra? Can I buy one for Master?"

Jun Yuangui glanced at Qing Xuanzi with a hint of bitterness in his heart, but still took out another piece: "One hundred high-grade spirit stones."

Rong Jiaojiao's eyes widened as she pushed it back: "I don't want it."

Although she has a lot of spirit stones, she doesn't spend them like this.

Jun Yuangui pursed his lips unhappily, but after a while he compromised: "Is one hundred mid-grade spirit stones enough?"

Rong Jiaojiao excitedly took out two hundred mid-grade spirit stones and accepted the communication jade slip.

Jun Yuangui was afraid that if he didn't accept Rong Jiaojiao's share of spirit stones, she wouldn't want the communication jade slip, so he accepted the spirit stones, but still insisted on having Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual energy, and his expression improved afterward.

Rong Jiaojiao examined the communication jade slip repeatedly, then looked at Jun Yuangui hopefully: "Senior, is there one that mortals can use?"

Looking at her expectant eyes, Jun Yuangui coldly shook his head: "No."

Rong Jiaojiao was somewhat disappointed, but she still nodded understandingly.

Mo Bai asked Jun Yuangui, "Senior, do you have any more communication jade slips? I'd like two."

Jun Yuangui disliked him and said, "Two hundred high-grade spirit stones for each jade token, no bargaining!"

Mo Bai sensed Jun Yuangui's dislike for him. Although he was puzzled, he could afford the spirit stones as long as he could buy a communication jade slip. He immediately took out six hundred high-grade spirit stones and said, "I want three."

The others were surprised and wondered if Mo Bai had dug up a lot of high-grade spirit stones, otherwise why would he be so willing to spend them?

Lin Xiaoman looked at the communication jade slip with envy. She wanted one too, wanting to keep in touch with Rong Jiaojiao often.

Zhao Yuntian couldn't bear to see his disciple like this, so he asked, "Young friend Jun, do you have any more communication jade slips? We'd like to buy a couple too."

Jun Yuangui seemed to have anticipated that everyone would buy: "One hundred high-grade spirit stones per piece."

After saying that, she glanced at Mo Bai.

Unfortunately, Mo Bai couldn't understand his thoughts at all, and took the jade slip to exchange spiritual energy with Rong Jiaojiao.

This action angered Jun Yuangui again, and he gave Mo Bai a cold glance.

Mo Bai didn't care at all, treating him as a lunatic!

Lin Xiaoman received the jade slip and happily ran over to exchange spiritual energy with Rong Jiaojiao.

After exchanging spiritual energy with his acquaintance, Qing Xuanzi and his companion said their goodbyes and left.

After getting away from those people, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Master, what are our plans next?"

Qing Xuanzi said, "Your cultivation has settled down enough. Now that we have Spirit Marrow Liquid, let's find a place to cultivate properly. Once you've used up the Spirit Marrow Liquid, we'll continue our training."

Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master, I think we should take the spiritual essence liquid we left behind earlier, but we should keep this top-grade spiritual essence liquid."

Spiritual essence liquid restores spiritual power faster than spirit-restoring pills, so they had left a lot of spiritual essence liquid in advance to prevent insufficient spiritual power during battle.

Qing Xuanzi thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

They have spiritual essence, so they don't need to find a place with abundant spiritual energy; they just need to be well hidden.

The two used their divine senses to search the rainforest for more than an hour before finally finding a suitable valley: "This place is secluded and free of demonic beasts, making it suitable for seclusion."

The two flew on their swords above the valley. Looking down, they saw that the valley was shrouded in mist, and several ancient banyan trees could be vaguely seen among them, their thick roots winding along the rock walls to form a natural barrier.
