After killing a Golden Core cultivator, Lin Xiaofei rolled over, pretending to fall to the ground, but he was actually very calm.
He did not reveal his full strength, not wanting to attract the attention of the Nascent Soul cultivators. Then, he leaped again and engaged in fierce combat with the cultivators on the battlefield.
Lin Xiaofei pretended to be struggling and cast several spells, knocking down the Foundation Establishment cultivators who rushed up.
"kill!"
At this moment, a Golden Core cultivator shouted, emanating an astonishing aura, and waved his hand to activate a spell.
In a flash of inspiration, a massive column of water, resembling a hundred-foot-long water python, shot out.
The water column soared into the air, twisting rapidly in the void, as if it contained a powerful, unstoppable force.
Some cultivators who were near the water column were instantly thrown to the ground.
"Hmm? This spell is not bad."
Seeing the water column shooting towards him, Lin Xiaofei glanced at it and muttered something under his breath.
This spell was not only ingenious but also quite powerful. It didn't seem like a minor supernatural power, but it displayed power comparable to one, which surprised him.
The impact of this water column was at least the full force of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and it would be difficult for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to withstand it.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei did not want to accept the challenge.
So he took a step forward, and his body suddenly accelerated.
He didn't use any supernatural speed techniques to take this step; he simply relied on the surge of spiritual energy within his body to make his figure appear like a phantom.
In an instant, his speed reached its limit.
With a light leap, he swiftly dodged the incoming water column, and at the same time, casually unleashed a fire spell that, though seemingly effortless, struck the Golden Core cultivator directly.
"ah!"
A flame quickly ignited the man's clothes, engulfing him in flames. He screamed in agony, fell to the ground, and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames.
"keep going."
Lin Xiaofei glanced at him, smiled slightly, reached out and took the other person's storage bag, then ignored him and leaped away.
"It's still more than a thousand meters away from the cave of that spiritual vein."
Lin Xiaofei knocked down several people in succession, rushed into the center of the battlefield, and glanced around, thinking to himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of battle erupted all around, and the entire void exploded with spiritual light. Many cultivators nearby were struck by spells, fell to the ground, and coughed up blood.
Lin Xiaofei surveyed his surroundings, deliberately suppressing his own strength and relying solely on his speed to evade the magical attacks of numerous cultivators on multiple occasions.
"We're getting closer and closer."
Lin Xiaofei dodged the attacks of several Foundation Establishment cultivators, smiled slightly, and then transformed into a blur, seemingly calm and collected, as he once again dealt with the cultivators who rushed up.
Rumble!
A deafening roar!
Not far away, the earth cracked and the mountains collapsed. The spiritual energy fluctuations spread rapidly, and a strong wind blew around, scattering dust everywhere.
On the other side of the battlefield, several Nascent Soul cultivators unleashed terrifying divine abilities, their spiritual light colliding and exploding in the void, causing the earth below to suffer as well.
A dazzling burst of light erupted, stirring up waves of mist that enveloped an area of several thousand feet.
"This fog has come at just the right time."
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and saw a fog covering the area ahead. He immediately used his Divine Speed Technique to increase his speed and quickly arrived near the Spirit Vein Cave.
"Um?
There's no one guarding the entrance to this spiritual vein?
Lin Xiaofei paused at the entrance of the spiritual vein, looked around, and seeing that there was no one guarding it, he then stepped inside.
"The spiritual energy here is incredibly rich."
As soon as he entered the spiritual vein cave, Lin Xiaofei felt a rich spiritual energy rushing towards him, and couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, he descended more than a hundred meters underground and saw several thick, shimmering spiritual veins, like roots, crisscrossing and embedded in the earth.
The shimmering spiritual veins continuously emitted pure spiritual energy.
"Is this the spiritual vein?"
Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, somewhat surprised.
Then, he slowly approached, reached out and touched the spiritual vein. He felt that the spiritual energy emanating from the vein was so abundant that it gave off a faint warmth.
At the same time, he also sensed that this spiritual vein seemed extremely hard.
"This spiritual vein, even just a branch, exudes terrifying spiritual energy, and its hardness is comparable to that of a mid-grade magic weapon."
"If a Golden Core cultivator were to sever this branch of the meridian, it would probably be very difficult to do so in a short time."
Lin Xiaofei touched the spiritual veins, pondering, and made a judgment.
He counted fifteen branches in this area, each more than three times thicker than a water buffalo.
He was observing these branches and discovered that almost all of them contained mid-grade spirit ore.
As he continued deeper underground, he discovered that the branch veins extending down were of even higher quality, and it seemed that the spiritual veins contained a large amount of high-grade spiritual ore.
"The spiritual veins here are of good quality."
Reaching a depth of 300 meters underground, Lin Xiaofei stopped, looked at the grade of the spiritual vein, murmured something, and then waved his hand, striking the spiritual vein with a palm print, creating a hole.
Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy emerged from the hole in the palm print.
"roar!"
At that moment, a low growl came from the cave below.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Immediately afterwards, a series of rapid footsteps came from the bottom of the cave. Then, the footsteps gradually approached, as if something was about to burst out of the cave.
Lin Xiaofei was immediately startled and looked towards the passageway below.
Soon, a fiery wolf with dark red fur, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and its mouth slightly open, revealing a set of sharp fangs, darted onto the spiritual vein passage and glared angrily at Lin Xiaofei.
“Cultivator, this spiritual vein belongs to my Fire Feather Sect. Leave immediately, or don’t blame me for eating you.”
The Flame Wolf spoke in human language, letting out a low growl.
"Fire Wolf? Fire Feather Sect?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled.
He originally intended to examine the grade of the spiritual vein in order to sever it and obtain it, which is why he casually struck the spiritual vein with his palm.
Unexpectedly, his casual palm strike attracted a fiery wolf.
This fiery wolf, with its fierce and angry eyes, exudes a terrifying demonic aura; it is a third-tier early-stage demonic beast.
However, this fiery wolf actually claimed that this spiritual vein belonged to the Fire Feather Sect. Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly and said, "
Fire Wolf King, this spiritual vein is located on the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect, so how come it belongs to the Fire Cloud Sect?
Moreover, you are just a spirit beast. Instead of guarding the gate of the Fire Feather Sect, you are baring your teeth here. Aren't you afraid that I will knock out your wolf fangs?
"And your master isn't here either, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"Cultivator, you're courting death."
The Flame Wolf let out a low growl and charged forward swiftly.
Lin Xiaofei remained calm, casually waving his hand to unleash a burst of sword energy.
Whoosh!
The sword energy transformed into a streak of light and rushed out rapidly. The Fire Wolf opened its mouth wide and spat out a flame technique that collided with the sword energy with a loud boom.
