"Among the loose cultivators' alliance, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and I might be considered a master."
However, from the library of Baixuefeng, I learned that on the other side of the Ice and Snow Forest, Foundation Establishment cultivators were as numerous as hairs on a cow, and Golden Core cultivators were everywhere.
The region I'm in is merely a small area surrounded by icy forests, raging deserts, and misty forests. Coupled with the sparse spiritual energy here, it's extremely difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to emerge.
Since joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Bai Xuefeng lineage, Lin Xiaofei has learned a great deal about this region.
This place is surrounded by three dangerous, continuous mountain ranges. Cultivators from this place find it difficult to travel to the outer regions and can only stay here for their entire lives.
"However, I have only just entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so it seems a bit premature for me to be thinking about Golden Core cultivators now."
At present, the most important thing for me is to quickly improve my cultivation level and at the same time, dispose of those 500-year-old blood ginseng roots so that I can exchange them for treasures to enhance my abilities at the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
"Once I've increased my strength, I'm going to take down Zhou Feilong."
Lin Xiaofei turned his gaze and thought to himself.
He still remembered that Zhou Feilong had said that he would definitely hunt him down as soon as he left the mountain gate.
Since the other party refused to let him go, he naturally wouldn't let the other party go either. As long as his strength improved, he would deliberately leave the mountain gate to lure Zhou Feilong out.
Thinking about improving his strength, Lin Xiaofei turned his head and glanced at the spiritual herbs planted inside the spatial bead.
"There are already more than 4,700 mature low-grade spiritual herbs. Judging from the current growth of the black soil, it is estimated that in a few days, more will mature, reaching more than 5,000."
Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up.
He has been back in his cave for five days. Before, he saw that the number of low-grade spiritual herbs that had matured was only more than three thousand, but now, after five days, it has reached more than four thousand.
Since the black soil was upgraded to a first-grade spiritual field, the growth rate of spiritual plants has doubled.
Moreover, once the mature spiritual herbs have received the seeds, they will automatically fall from their branches and leaves into the black soil, without needing to sow the seeds themselves; they will grow on their own.
This made him realize that the Space Bead truly was a magical treasure.
"During this period of time, I was busy cultivating the hundred-year-old blood ginseng, which delayed my cultivation time."
Although the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm technique has long been perfected, the Mountain-Turning Demon Body technique has not yet been mastered.
Now that I've broken through to the early Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy within my body is seven or eight times greater than before, and my physique has also improved. This time, cultivating the Mountain-Turning Demon Body should be twice as effective, right?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself.
Previously, he had fought a great battle with Zhou Feilong and had witnessed the power of the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm combined with the Mountain-Turning Demon Body, which made him very interested in the Mountain-Turning Demon Body.
In his view, once this spell is mastered to perfection, his strength will likely surpass that of Zhou Feilong.
The Mountain-Turning Demon Body can further enhance the power of the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm.
However, he still lacks a mountain-crossing spiritual technique. If he could collect all three volumes of this technique and cultivate them to perfection, his strength would probably be no less than that of a Golden Core cultivator.
"Since this spell was obtained by Zhou Feilong from the tomb of a Golden Core cultivator, he must have the second volume of this spell. Perhaps I can obtain the second volume from him."
Thinking of Zhou Feilong, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes.
If the other party hadn't wanted to kill him, he really wouldn't know how to snatch the Mountain-Crossing Spiritual Technique from their hands.
"By the way, this time, I also need to practice the Brahma Ice and Fire Technique and then use it to deal with Zhou Feilong. Perhaps that will give me a better chance of killing him."
Lin Xiaofei thought about it again.
This spell requires a hundred years of ice and fire to cultivate; otherwise, it is very difficult to cultivate.
Therefore, he needs to exchange some century-old ice and fire from the Internal Affairs Pavilion in order to cultivate.
Because the conditions for cultivating this spell are very difficult for most cultivators, and because it is an ice and fire attribute spell, its power is stronger than that of ordinary spells.
It's important to know that refining a century-old ice and fire is a difficult task.
"Fortunately, after joining Bai Xuefeng, I reserved some Hundred-Year Ice and Fire in advance through the Internal Affairs Pavilion, and the time to exchange them will be in a few days."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, then sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
Snow Peak, Spirit Plant Valley, outside the pavilion.
"Senior brother, why are there so many important figures visiting our Spirit Plant Valley today?"
Wan Jialong, the head of the mining department; Ma Qiankun, a second-grade spirit beast master; and Zhang Fugui, the patriarch of a cultivation family, all came.
“Junior brother, you don’t know this, but all these people were invited by Elder Ye. Moreover, there are several important figures among them, such as Ding Dahua from the Internal Affairs Pavilion and Fang Shicheng from the Alchemy Pavilion.”
"Senior brother, you still haven't told us what these important figures are doing in our Spirit Plant Valley?"
Several disciples were gathered together by a corner of the wall outside the pavilion, whispering among themselves.
"You really want to know?"
One of the senior students said in a pretentious tone.
"Senior brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already."
Several people surrounded the so-called senior brother, their faces full of excitement. They all knew that this senior brother often went in and out of the pavilion and was more informed about internal affairs than they were.
"Last time, I heard Elder Ye say in the attic hall that he wanted to invite some important figures from our sect to come here and make a deal with Steward Lin."
It's said they're selling six 500-year-old blood ginseng roots, a rare and precious medicinal herb.
The senior brother said with a smug look on his face.
"A five-hundred-year-old blood ginseng?"
Everyone was astonished and dumbfounded. Such a rare spiritual herb was something that they, as menial disciples, could never obtain.
"Look, our Steward Lin has arrived."
At this moment, the senior brother pointed to the road leading to the entrance of the Spirit Plant Valley and whispered something.
The faint sunlight shone on the earth, and tiny snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
On the road in Spirit Plant Valley, a handsome young man rode along at a trot, riding on the back of a cat-beast as tall as a horse.
The cat-beast's enormous face resembled a tiger's, and its limbs stretched out like a charging beast, exuding a fierce aura that made it seem like a dangerous creature.
The boy on the cat-beast's back had a smile on his face and his gaze was straight ahead, like a calm and composed person. The snowflakes falling from the sky were kept away by the aura emanating from the boy's body before they could even land on his clothes.
At a glance, it was clear that this young man possessed extraordinary strength and was not someone they, as menial disciples, dared to provoke. They immediately became respectful.
The so-called senior brother's eyes lit up, and he was startled.
Wasn't the other party a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining before? How come the aura he exudes is so much stronger than before? Could it be that Steward Lin has broken through?
