The Chiling Peak mountain range stretches endlessly.
Many monsters live here, and many of them are quite powerful.
Qin Xin made his way towards the tomb where the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire was located, and along the way he learned why the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire had chosen to live in seclusion here.
The Crimson Ridge Mountain Range can be described as a forbidden land. Its outer perimeter is teeming with monsters, while its interior is protected by a perpetual miasma that acts as a natural barrier, rarely disturbing it from the outside world.
Along the way, Qin Xin was not in a hurry, even if he arrived ahead of time, he would not be able to enter the tomb.
Perhaps because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant in this Red Ridge Peak mountain range, many spiritual herbs grow here, and Qin Xin has collected quite a few.
"Sigh! Those two are really poor!"
Qin Xin was holding two spatial rings in his hands at this moment. Because the soul imprints on them had been erased by Dan Qing, he was able to easily examine the items inside.
The guard, who was at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, was relatively wealthy, possessing nearly a hundred mid-grade spirit stones and over a thousand low-grade spirit stones, as well as a considerable number of Qi-cultivating pills. However, all of these ended up in Qin Xin's pocket.
However, in the space ring of that Yuanfu Realm sixth-level guard, there was also a Xuan-level mid-grade martial arts manual. However, this martial arts manual mainly focused on using daggers, so Qin Xin had no use for it. He casually tossed it into his space ring, waiting to sell it for a good price in the future.
As for the guard at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, he only had a little over a hundred low-grade spirit stones in his hand. The rest were some very ordinary pills, which Qin Xin accepted. He casually discarded the rest that were useless.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Qin Xin felt a ripple in his Niwan Palace, and his vision blurred.
After quickly sitting down cross-legged, Qin Xin calmed his mind and noticed that the small, illusory figure sitting on the Spirit Devouring Stone had become more solid.
The spiritual consciousness circulating within the Niwan Palace has also become stronger than before.
With a thought, Qin Xin's spiritual sense instantly flew out, and the scenery several miles away appeared in Qin Xin's mind.
"Late stage of the Spirit Form Realm!"
After opening his eyes, Qin Xin's eyes were filled with joy.
Although Qin Xin's spiritual cultivation was constantly running with the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique, his cultivation speed was always very slow, especially after entering the Spirit Form Realm, when the growth of his spiritual consciousness stagnated.
Qin Xin originally wanted to ask Danqing for help in solving this problem, but Danqing only told him one word: "Powerless"!
This is how spiritual cultivation works. Qin Xin's advancement speed can be said to be very fast. As for Ju Danqing, it took him a full ten years to cultivate to the late stage of the Spirit Form Realm, and he was also known as a gifted individual.
Qin Xin's spiritual cultivation speed can already be described as monstrous, but this is largely due to the help of the Spirit Devouring Stone.
After slowly standing up, Qin Xin stretched his body.
After killing the two guards, the Devouring Spirit Stone absorbed their martial spirits and soul power, which unexpectedly propelled Qin Xin into the late stage of the Spirit Form Realm. However, Qin Xin's martial spirit level remained unchanged at six stars.
Although the level of his Martial Spirit has not changed, Qin Xin can sense that the spiritual power contained in his Black Stick Martial Spirit is now no weaker than some Seven-Star Martial Spirits. It seems that he is only lacking an opportunity to advance.
Qin Xin was not in a hurry about this, as the spiritual power of the Black Stick Martial Spirit was already sufficient for his cultivation.
After using his spiritual sense to investigate, Qin Xin roughly knew his location. He was not far from entering the interior of the Red Ridge Peak Mountains. He only needed to pass through the miasma surrounding the mountains to reach the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire.
Qin Xin traveled through the dense forest for about half a day.
During their journey, they encountered several level-four demonic beasts, but these low-level beasts posed no threat to Qin Xin. After easily dealing with them, Qin Xin didn't bother to collect their beast crystals.
In the Eastern Wilderness, a level four demon beast might fetch a good price, but in the Central Continent, most people don't even consider it worthwhile. In fact, it can take more than ten level four demon beast crystals to exchange for a single Qi Cultivation Pill.
Currently, Qin Xin's spatial ring is piled high with low-grade spirit stones, a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and nearly a hundred high-grade spirit stones, which gives him a lot of confidence.
Qin Xin stopped before reaching the miasma barrier that enveloped the mountains.
Out of curiosity, Qin Xin reached out and tested the miasma.
A bone-chilling cold instantly coursed through his body, followed by intense heat. Qin Xin could easily endure it for a moment, but if he remained in it for an extended period, even a Yuan Dan realm expert in the third stage of the Core Formation realm would likely be unable to withstand it, unless they were a Dharma Aspect realm expert who, after comprehending their own domain, completely isolated the space around them to prevent the invasion of this miasma.
Qin Xin carefully surveyed the area around the miasma and discovered that the air was also filled with miasma. It was impossible for a Yuanfu Realm expert to fly over it. The miasma was like a natural barrier, completely isolating the interior and exterior of the Chiling Peak Mountain Range.
However, based on the faint fire-attribute aura emanating from the miasma, Qin Xin also had some speculations.
"This miasma barrier is very likely man-made!"
After taking out the Miasma Pills, Qin Xin still felt a little reluctant, even though he had quite a few spirit stones in his hand. After all, the two Miasma Pills had cost him twenty-one high-grade spirit stones.
With a slight pang of regret, Qin Xin took out one of the miasma pills and swallowed it whole.
The gray pill dissolved instantly upon entering the body.
Qin Xin could feel the medicinal power of the miasma pill, which seemed to seal off all the pores on his body, preventing even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from entering his body.
Taking advantage of the medicinal effects, Qin Xin plunged headlong into the miasma barrier.
Within this miasma barrier, Qin Xin discovered that apart from some vegetation, no other living organisms survived.
However, Qin Xin always felt uneasy here, so he didn't linger at all. He mobilized his Yuan Power and quickly flew towards the depths of the Crimson Ridge Mountain Range.
About an hour and a half later, after Qin Xin stepped out of the miasma, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him made him feel as if he had suddenly seen the light of day.
After surveying his surroundings, Qin Xin discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much denser in the depths of the Red Ridge Peak Mountains than in the outside world. Moreover, deep within the mountains, a powerful aura was slowly being released.
"Could it be that deceased Earth Profound Realm expert?"
Sensing that aura, Qin Xin was also somewhat puzzled. After making slight adjustments, he strode forward toward the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire.
