The two traveled swiftly for seven days along a mountain path. Although they encountered some strange beasts along the way, it did not hinder their journey.
However, during the break, Zhao Zichuan sat down to recover the spiritual energy he had consumed.
Lin Xiaofei's physique was much stronger than Zhao Zichuan's, and he did not consume a lot of spiritual energy while traveling.
Therefore, during his rest, Lin Xiaofei sat down and focused all his efforts on refining the spiritual imprint inside the storage bag.
Over the course of several days, he refined more than half of the spiritual imprint.
This storage bag was obtained from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was of a higher quality than the storage bag hanging on his waist, so it was somewhat difficult to refine.
Fortunately, he had refined many other people's magical artifacts before, and had some skills in refining spiritual imprints, so he was able to refine this storage bag much faster.
"I've been refining it with all my might for ten days now, and I still haven't opened it. As expected of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's storage bag, it must contain many good things."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, a hint of anticipation in his heart.
After resting for a while, Zhao Zichuan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that Lin Xiaofei had already rested, he said directly:
Brother Lin, my spiritual energy has recovered well, and I can continue my journey.
However, we have two routes to take. The first route is to go directly through the Fenglei Valley in front of us, which leads directly to the territory of Shifeng County.
However, within this valley, there is a narrow, winding mountain path, teeming with high-level exotic beasts, such as the Spotted Thunder Leopard.
If we were to cross this valley, it would be somewhat dangerous.
The second route is to bypass Fenglei Valley, which is not dangerous, but it will add three days to the journey. Which route would Brother Lin prefer?
He had entered the valley alone once before, and because of the rugged terrain, he was almost ambushed and killed by several spotted leopards.
If he were alone, he would naturally take a detour. However, he had Lin Xiaofei by his side, who was even stronger than him. He felt that going through the Peak Thunder Valley would provide some protection, so he was not afraid of the Spotted Thunder Leopard.
However, we need to consult Lin Xiaofei first.
"Let's go through the valley ahead," Lin Xiaofei said directly.
He just wanted to get to Shifeng County as soon as possible so that he could get the Five Elements Spirit Herb that Zhao Zichuan had promised him, and plant it in his spatial bead to prepare for refining the Breakthrough Pill in the future, as well as to prepare for breaking through his cultivation realm.
Lin Xiaofei got up and headed towards Fenglei Valley, with Zhao Zichuan following closely behind.
Walking along a winding path in the valley, Lin Xiaofei found the path too steep, and weeds growing everywhere on both sides of the path.
In places like this, any strange beasts hiding in the dense grass can easily ambush people passing by.
Seeing Lin Xiaofei looking around, Zhao Zichuan quickly said:
"Brother Lin, if you think this path is dangerous, then let's take another route, shall we?"
"No need, let's take this route."
Lin Xiaofei said with a smile:
I just took a look, and there are indeed some strange beasts lurking in the grass of Fenglei Valley.
Ordinary people would naturally not dare to take this path, but we are cultivators, so why should we be afraid of a few strange beasts attacking us?
As long as it's not a monster lurking in the grass, we have nothing to worry about.
"As far as I know, the Banlei Leopards near Fenglei Valley live in packs, including one that has molted into a low-level demon."
However, with Brother Lin's strength, he naturally has no fear of the leopards here.
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei said:
Since this road leads directly to the edge of Shifeng County, let's hurry up.
"good!"
Zhao Zichuan responded and quickly used his lightness technique to travel.
Before meeting Zhao Zichuan, Lin Xiaofei had consumed a large amount of herbs and cultivated the Body Tempering Golden Body Technique to its highest level, enabling his physical body to reach the highest level of martial arts, achieving physical sainthood, which means he entered the early stage of the Innate Realm.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofei was running on his own two legs, which was faster than Zhao Zichuan using his lightness technique. Moreover, he was not panting and looked very relaxed.
At the same time, unlike Zhao Zichuan, he doesn't need to consume spiritual energy to travel, which is one of the benefits of practicing martial arts.
Whew! Whew!
Lin Xiaofei took a light step forward, his figure as agile as a monkey, moving quickly through the Fenglei Valley, with gusts of wind rushing past his ears.
Fenglei Valley is steep, and gusts of valley wind blow from time to time.
A gust of wind came, covering up the roars of some strange beasts nearby. Lin Xiaofei could vaguely hear some strange beasts howling not far away, and he immediately became alert, scanning the dense grass nearby.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei stopped and saw the dense grass swaying in the distance, with figures leaping and darting within it. He quickly whispered, "
"Be careful, there are quite a few strange beasts approaching."
Nodding, Zhao Zichuan smiled slightly, looking eager to try.
Hearing that many strange beasts were approaching, he remembered being chased by a group of Golden Mountain Boars, and he felt angry and his blood seemed to boil.
He would not repeat history and decided to kill the approaching monster.
A surge of spiritual energy welled up within him, his long hair fluttered, and his figure seemed to flash with a spiritual light, making his aura incredibly powerful.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofei shouted:
We charged forward.
Now, his strength, in terms of physical power alone, is comparable to the early stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He does not intend to use magic to attack these strange beasts.
He used the Lotus Step technique, taking a step that seemed to raise white lotuses beneath his feet, and his figure disappeared at lightning speed.
"Brother Lin, wait for me."
Zhao Zichuan was startled.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
Lin Xiaofei responded with a sentence and rushed forward like a gust of wind.
On the steep slope, more than thirty spotted leopards emerged from the grass from different directions, forming a pincer movement and rapidly approaching.
Among them was a top-tier spotted leopard, which leaped and landed on a large tree branch in the distance, its mouth wide open.
A beam of blue light shot out from its mouth, like a flash of lightning.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
A blue lightning bolt, crackling with lightning, hurtled toward Lin Xiaofei at an incredible speed.
With a flash of his eyes, Lin Xiaofei kicked out suddenly, sending a millstone-sized rock flying into the air.
The rock, like a meteorite, struck the blue lightning bolt.
boom!
A loud crash was heard, and stones shattered and flew everywhere.
"Um?"
Lin Xiaofei was shocked. He hadn't expected that the lightning spell unleashed by the top-tier Spotted Thunder Leopard would be met with the full force of a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator.
Despite a hint of surprise, his figure moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching the top-tier beast. He channeled his inner strength into his feet, instantly increasing his running speed.
A distance of one kilometer, covered in four or five leaps, brought him to the side of the top-grade spotted thunder leopard.
