Thump! Thump! Thump!
More and more red-eyed snow bears charged toward the low-level spirit fields.
The old man, Gao Yue, looked nervous and frightened. He was already old and his cultivation level was low. After fighting a red-eyed snow bear for four or five rounds, he was already exhausted.
This snow bear was a mid-level beast with thick hide. The spells that struck it only made it take a few steps back, without harming it.
Seeing that he was no match for the opponent, he turned and ran.
However, the snow bear was clearly much faster than him.
In a short while, they closed the distance; they were only seven meters away from each other when they were about to pounce.
He sensed the snow bear rapidly approaching from behind, and his expression tightened, his eyes revealing fear.
Whoosh!
A snowball streaked through the air and slammed into his back, causing him to stumble and fall into the spirit field.
"My life is over!"
Gao Yue lay on the ground, quickly rolled over, turned his head, closed his eyes, and screamed.
puff!
A spurt of blood splashed onto his face, and Gao Yue shuddered. He felt a warm liquid on his face, and quickly opened his eyes. He stared in disbelief.
Whoosh!
On the spirit field beside them lay a headless, red-eyed snow bear, blood gushing out, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Then, he turned his head and saw that the red-eyed snow bears that had charged forward had their chests pierced by a black flying sword in an instant. They didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground and died.
Gao Yue quickly rolled over and got up, glancing around.
High in the distance, a young man sat cross-legged atop a snow eagle, rapidly approaching them.
"Foundation Building Immortal Master".
Gao Yue was startled, and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed slightly, and said respectfully:
"Many thanks to the Immortal Master for his help."
The snow eagle flew above the old man, hovering there. Lin Xiaofei glanced down and, seeing Gao Yue and the others' attire, knew they were all menial disciples. He then said calmly, "
How far is Mount Yukikaze from here?
"Replying to the Immortal Master, there are still fifty li to go."
Gao Yue looked up at Lin Xiaofei in the sky and said loudly.
"These snow bear carcasses are yours to keep."
Lin Xiaofei said something and gently tapped the snow eagle's back. The snow eagle flapped its wings and flew away at top speed.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Immortal Master."
Gao Yue quickly thanked him, his face beaming with joy. He hadn't expected that simply answering a question from the immortal master would result in the master bestowing these snow bear carcasses upon them.
You must know, the fur and flesh of this red-eyed snow bear are treasures to these menial disciples.
"We're in for a treat."
A young handyman disciple shouted with a laugh.
"That immortal master was flying on a snow eagle, so he must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He just asked Gao Yue, so it seems he was going to Snowwind Mountain."
Could he be the celestial master sent from above?
It seems that it won't be long before a Celestial Master comes to guard this low-level spirit field of ours.
A middle-aged man said casually.
"That's not necessarily true."
It should be noted that the northern slope of this Snow Tree Wasteland also contains a Grade 1 Spirit Field area and a Grade 2 Spirit Field area.
After that young immortal master goes to the affairs pavilion, he may have to compete with other immortal masters to determine who will be stationed in this low-level spirit field area.
After they fight it out, perhaps ten days or so will have passed.
An elderly disciple, who was also a handyman, guessed.
Within Snowwind Mountain, there is an administrative pavilion established by the peak master of the White Snow Peak lineage, specifically for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of their sect to reside here.
Meanwhile, within a thirty-mile radius of the administrative pavilion, the servant disciples who lived there long-term, as well as some disciples' wives, children, and elderly relatives, also resided there.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei rode the snow eagle to the Snow Wind Mountain, then landed at the entrance of what looked like a large village. With a light leap, he landed on his feet.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and saw two disciples guarding the entrance to the village on each side.
One of the gatekeepers glanced at Lin Xiaofei, then quickly turned around and entered the village.
"I am Luo Yisheng, the person in charge here. I was unaware of the arrival of the Immortal Master and have failed to greet you properly."
Soon, an old man jogged quickly from the village to Lin Xiaofei and bowed.
"My name is Lin Xiaofei. I am here today to take on a guard duty here. This is my mission token."
Upon hearing this, and seeing that the other party was the manager here, Lin Xiaofei directly explained his purpose, reached into his storage bag, took out a token, and handed it over.
"Master Lin, please come with me to the administration building."
Luo Yisheng accepted the mission token with both hands, glanced at it, and quickly bowed, saying:
Since the last immortal master left, we have been missing an immortal master to guard the spirit fields.
Now that Master Lin has arrived, the days will be easier for those menial disciples who are still guarding the spirit fields.
However, which area of spirit fields to be stationed in is not something I should presume to discuss.
"It's clearly written on the mission token, how could I not know which spirit field I'm stationed in?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"This matter is something you immortal masters should discuss yourselves."
Although I am the person in charge here, I don't have the final say in things. I hope you can understand, Immortal Master.
"Master Lin, please have some tea in the administration building. I'll go to the spirit field garrison area and fetch Garrison Master Li and Garrison Master Gao. Then you can have a chat."
Luo hesitated for a moment, then quickly spoke.
Lin Xiaofei raised an eyebrow and slowly nodded. He hadn't expected that there would be something fishy about simply taking on a task. He said, "
"Okay, go ahead."
"Yes," Luo Yisheng replied, then turned and left.
Three hours later, Manager Luo brought back the other two resident immortal masters.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaofei sat down with the two immortal masters and drank low-grade spiritual tea. While chatting with the two immortal masters, he looked them up and down.
One of the resident immortal masters was named Li Guanghui, who appeared to be an old man and had a cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
The other resident immortal master, named Gao Shang, is a middle-aged man with the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage. He has a powerful aura and looks like he could break through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage at any time.
"Young friend Lin, welcome to the northern slope of Snow Tree Wasteland. It's a wonderful place. You'll understand once you've stayed here for a while."
After chatting about this and that for a while, seeing that Lin Xiaofei mostly nodded and appeared calm, Li Guanghui finally got to the point, saying:
This desolate northern slope of Snow Tree is guarded by people from our lineage of White Snow Peak and Little Fire Peak. People from Little Fire Peak guard the spiritual fields in the western region, while we guard the spiritual fields in the eastern region.
The spirit fields in the eastern region are divided into second-grade spirit fields, first-grade spirit fields, and low-grade spirit fields.
What we need to do is prevent strange beasts and monsters from stealing spiritual herbs and destroying spiritual fields.
