Time passed, another night went by, and just as dawn broke, Lin Xiaofei followed his three fellow disciples out of the Ice and Snow City and headed into the distance.

The person leading the way was Wan Banxing, who had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. The other two were Ding Sihai, who had reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and Xiang Shaowu, who had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"That pineapple tree is located in Bixia Mountain."

This time, we're facing three mid-stage Tier 1 Crimson Dark Bears. With the strength of the four of us, there's no way we can fail to kill them.

The Crimson Dark Bear has thick, tough skin and flesh; its skin and flesh alone are more difficult to break than a low-level spiritual weapon.

However, the Crimson Dark Bear has one weakness: it is afraid of fire.

Therefore, I prepared four high-grade, first-rank Xuanhuo bamboo sticks. After we fight the Crimson Dark Bear for a while, we will immediately ignite the Xuanhuo bamboo sticks to scare them away.

As Wanbanxing traveled, he spoke to the three people beside him.

Lin Xiaofei and the other two responded.

In fact, Lin Xiaofei possessed the peak Foundation Establishment realm, and his strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. With his strength alone, he could have easily killed those three Crimson Dark Bears.

However, Wanbanxing and the others, knowing that he was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and that Wanbanxing had his own plans, didn't say much.

"By the way, when we arrive at our destination, let's not start a battle near the pineapple trees to avoid destroying them."

First lure the three dark red bears away, then fight them, drive them away, you understand?

After rushing for a while, Wanbanxing spoke again.

"Senior Brother Wan, don't worry, we wouldn't dare to ruin a fire pineapple. One fire pineapple is probably enough for half a month of my cultivation."

Ding Sihai said with a smile.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of magical artifacts clashing came from ahead.

"It looks like there's a fight going on up ahead. Let's go take a look."

At this moment, Xiang Shaowu raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

Soon, Lin Xiaofei and the others quickly approached, stopping at a distance of about one mile.

Two cultivators were seen flying back and forth in the sky above the forest, manipulating their magical artifacts and casting spells to attack each other.

"Song Yiming of the Starry Sky Sect and Yi Zixiu of the Misty Smoke Sect both possess the strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Three years ago, disciples from our sects sparred with each other, and I fought against them."

I never expected to run into them here, and the two of them even started fighting.

Wan Banxing's gaze sharpened as he recognized the two people.

Seeing the fight between the two becoming increasingly intense, Wan Banxing frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist Yi, you two must be tired from fighting. Why don't you come down and rest for a while?"

"Fellow Daoist Wan, this is a battle that Song Yiming and I agreed upon. Don't interfere."

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator, Yi Zixiu, spoke in a deep, resonant voice.

"Yi Zixiu, let's go and have our match elsewhere."

With that, Song Yiming leaped up, stepping on branches and leaves, and quickly entered the distant mountain forest.

Seeing the two figures gradually disappear into the mountain forest, Wan Banxing narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:

It seems that it won't be long before we, the members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, will be joining forces with the major powers.

"Senior Brother Wan, why are people from all the major forces gathered together?"

Ding Sihai asked in confusion.

"As you probably know, the region we live in is a place with scarce spiritual energy. Even those with exceptional talent can only cultivate to the Golden Core stage."

However, the major powers were not content with only cultivating to the Golden Core stage, so they wanted to find a way out.

They set their sights on the Ice and Snow Forest, the Misty Forest, and the Gale Desert, as these three regions are infested with powerful demonic beasts, and ordinary cultivators dare not enter them.

After a long period of exploration, they discovered that every hundred years, at the border between the Ice and Snow Forest and the Misty Forest, some powerful monsters would enter a period of hibernation.

In other words, it is a relatively less dangerous place.

So some people decided to sneak in in order to find a way out.

Now, a hundred years have passed, and various forces and families will send Foundation Establishment cultivators or Golden Core cultivators who are about to pass away to infiltrate the Misty Great Forest.

Firstly, it is said that there are many high-level spiritual herbs and fruits in the Misty Great Forest. If one can find high-level spiritual herbs and fruits and consume them, one's cultivation level will be greatly improved.

This is a good thing for Foundation Establishment cultivators who have been struggling to break through their cultivation level for many years.

Of course, this is also a good thing for Golden Core cultivators.

Secondly, finding a way out would be equivalent to providing a path for the Golden Core cultivators here, making their cultivation journey smoother.

They all nodded, but Lin Xiaofei already knew about this.

"However, in the past, sects, families, and major forces often fought and killed each other for territory."

This time, they will likely fight each other on their way to the Misty Forest.

If we encounter this, we should leave immediately and not linger, otherwise we might bring trouble upon ourselves.

Wan Banxing said with a serious expression.

They all nodded.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go to Bixia Mountain to drive away those three dark bears. After picking the fire pineapple, I plan to go back to Baixue Peak."

This time, I'm going to venture into the Misty Forest and give it a try.

Xiang Shaowu, who was standing to the side, quickly said.

"Are we going to explore the Misty Forest so soon?"

Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.

He was very interested in this matter.

The highest level of cultivation here is the Golden Core stage, so he naturally has to leave. After all, he already possesses the strength of the Golden Core stage, and exploring the Misty Forest might allow him to break through his cultivation level as soon as possible.

"Why is the Bloodthirsty Cursed Scorpion circling around here?"

Could Lin Xiaofei have been here before?

Zhou Feilong rode a demonic beast and arrived near the Ice and Snow City.

However, the demonic beast beneath him was pacing back and forth along a path in the forest, as if searching for something.

When he learned that the nine elite assassins he had trained had died, he quickly infiltrated the northern slope of Snow Tree Wasteland. He originally intended to kill Lin Xiaofei, but he did not seek out the other party.

Fortunately, he found a few strands of Lin Xiaofei's long hair in the cave where Lin Xiaofei had lived.

Based on the aura emanating from the long hair, the Bloodthirsty Cursed Scorpion could pinpoint the approximate location of its opponent. Thus, Zhou Feilong rode the Bloodthirsty Cursed Scorpion at breakneck speed.

Soon, the Bloodthirsty Cursed Scorpion chose a direction and headed towards a large mountain forest.

"I was initially worried that if Lin Xiaofei stayed in Ice and Snow City, it would be difficult to kill him."

I never expected him to go deep into the mountains. It's like God has given me an opportunity; now I can act without any worries.

Zhou Feilong's gaze turned cold, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
