"The Nine Yang Grass is of utmost importance to me; its medicinal effects are nothing short of miraculous. You cannot kill me!"
The sound kept repeating itself.
Lin Xi's face revealed a cold smile: "Hmph, you dare to stop me with just one guardian? I think you're tired of living!"
After saying that, Lin Xi suddenly flicked his right arm, which was holding Thor's Spear.
The thick Thor's Spear pierced through the massive ancient tree in an instant.
The branches and leaves of the ancient tree were instantly cut in two.
A black mushroom cloud the size of a bowl exploded, and powerful energy spread through the void, completely enveloping the ancient tree.
Although this energy was not as powerful as the thunderous force Lin Xi had released when he used Thor's Spear, it was still extremely terrifying.
Moreover, the pressure from this explosion far exceeded that of any previous ones.
The ancient tree withered as a result.
A dark pit was left in the ground beneath the ancient tree.
Inside the pit, the putrid, black stench grew even stronger.
Wisps of white smoke were still rising from the pit.
A hint of relief appeared in Lin Xi's eyes.
"We finally succeeded!"
"Although it's still a little short, the Thunder Essence Pill has been successfully refined!"
"My strength has increased again. As expected, the Heavenly Rank pills live up to their reputation!"
A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face.
Lin Xi took out the Thunder Essence Pill and swallowed it directly.
As Lei Yuandan entered his throat, Lin Xi felt his spiritual energy surge.
A layer of golden lightning crackled around him.
There were also wisps of lightning energy flashing on his body.
"Huff! Huff!"
After swallowing the Thunder Essence Pill, Lin Xi's body continuously absorbed the power of thunder.
Within his body, the lightning power he had refined was now fully activated.
Lin Xi's spiritual energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense.
He could clearly sense his strength increasing rapidly.
This improvement is many times faster than before.
After Lin Xi absorbed the energy of the Thunder Essence Pill.
A booming sound emanated from his body once again.
At the head position, a thin silver snake emerges from the top of the head.
The silver snake emitted a faint light.
Sharp fangs gleamed with a cold light.
The viscous droplets fell and clattered on the ground.
Lin Xi was taken aback upon seeing this.
He never expected that he would advance to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The silver snake fell onto the skull, and then a large amount of gravel fell onto the ground.
A monster nearly four meters tall slowly crawled out from it.
Lin Xi looked up and noticed that the monster had three vertical pupils in the center of its forehead, and in the center of each pupil was a bright red fruit.
"Nine Yang Fruit?!"
Upon seeing the fruit, Lin Xi's eyes widened.
The Nine Yang Fruit, as its name suggests, is a sacred-grade elixir that can help martial artists enhance their strength.
It is said that next to the Nine Yang Grass, there grows an equally precious fire-attribute spiritual herb—the King of Fire, the Blazing Flower!
However, the Flame Flower has extremely demanding growing conditions and can only mature once every five years.
Even when ripe, it takes some time before they can be harvested.
In this world, apart from Lin Xi, only experts at the Nascent Soul stage have the ability to obtain the Nine Yang Fruit.
"Hahaha, that's so funny, so very funny."
"It turns out to be a Nine Yang Grass. In that case, this Nine Yang Grass should be my main target for this trip."
"Unfortunately, I have already refined this Nine Yang Grass into a pill."
"Otherwise, I could also use the energy of the Nine Yang Grass to try and make an impact."
"What a pity..."
Lin Xi sighed and shook her head.
"However, I have no other choice but to take this Thunder Essence Pill to enhance my strength."
Lin Xi looked around.
He had already set up a barrier nearby, so no demons could break in, and there was no need to worry about being ambushed.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and then swallowed the pill.
An intensely hot power surged into his body in an instant.
Lin Xi's expression changed slightly.
In that instant, he felt as if his body was about to burst into flames.
Bang!
He tore the talisman apart and inhaled the flames inside.
The talisman contained a wisp of flame essence, which, nourished by it, caused the Thunder Essence Pill to erupt.
Under Lin Xi's control, the essence of Lei Yuandan flowed along his meridians into the depths of his soul.
The moment Lei Yuandan entered Lin Xi's soul, streaks of purple lightning spread from all parts of his body.
The power of thunder coursed through Lin Xi's body, covering his skin with lightning patterns.
These lightning patterns pulsed across the surface, unleashing bursts of violent lightning power.
"Hiss!"
Deep within Lin Xi's soul, the effects of Lei Yuan Dan began to take hold.
Above it, the swirling vortex of souls also began to slowly rotate, eventually converging into a huge vortex.
At the same time, terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from the vortex.
"Crackling and popping!"
Lightning crackled around Lin Xi's body, causing his aura to surge dramatically.
The lightning power emanating from his body intensified.
Within Lin Xi's body, in the chaotic void, one after another, thunder orbs appeared and continuously merged into thunder elemental beads.
As Lin Xi's cultivation level continued to improve, the number of Thunder Essence Pearls also continued to increase.
Furthermore, as its cultivation level increased, the color of the Thunder Essence Pearl gradually dimmed.
Soon, a huge ball of lightning formed around Lin Xi's body.
The aura emanating from the Thunder Pearl was becoming increasingly terrifying and horrifying.
Suddenly, Lin Xi opened his eyes, a bright light flashing in them, and a violent pressure erupted from his body.
Bang!
At the same moment, Lin Xi clenched his fists, and dull thuds echoed from one after another.
With a roar, Lin Xi suddenly waved his hand.
Instantly, a giant fire phoenix appeared behind him.
The fire phoenix roared to the sky, its enormous wings flapping violently.
Blazing flames erupted instantly.
The flames, like a raging sea of fire, engulfed Lin Xi.
