Trying to outmaneuver her? Don't you even know who she is?
"Fellow Daoist, please show yourself." Sensing the strength of her spiritual power, he didn't try to seize it directly, but instead tried to reason with her. Ye Xiruo's lips curled into a cold smile; this person was definitely going to die today.
Although she doesn't like killing, she's still quite willing to occasionally rid the people of evil.
“Fellow Daoist, I discovered this cave first. You looted it completely. I’m afraid the puppet controller will have to give me an explanation.”
What are you going to explain? You're just unlucky, it's not my fault. It wasn't a few minutes earlier or later.
If Ye Xi still doesn't speak, playing mysterious is the best approach right now.
“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to share half of the contents of my cave with you.”
Ye Xiruo sneered. She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as this. She could take things from other people's pockets with such righteous indignation. What did she mean by saying that he was willing to give her half of the things in the cave? Now the entire cave belonged to her. Wasn't that a joke?
"Fellow Daoist, if you do not show yourself, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Get lost." Ye Xiruo's words directly used her soul pressure, which also concealed her weaknesses of being young and lacking cultivation.
"This is outrageous!"
Ironically, at that very moment, Ye Xiruo condensed her spiritual power into a silver needle and, with lightning speed, stabbed it fiercely at the Nascent Soul Venerable not far away.
Sure enough, mental power is the most useful weapon for sneak attacks. This caused a few painful expressions to appear on the face of the Nascent Soul Venerable. Ye Xiruo was attacking his sea of consciousness. At this moment, he was focusing all his attention on checking and repairing his sea of consciousness. Once there was a problem with his sea of consciousness, his cultivation would be difficult to advance.
Ye Xiruo concealed her aura, took out the Blood Essence given to her by Xiu Qiyu, and with imperfect sword steps, attacked the Nascent Soul Venerable's back.
Unfortunately, he noticed it at the last moment and managed to shift his position slightly, preventing him from dying from a broken heart and even delivering a heavy blow to Ye Xiruo.
However, with the soft armor given to Ye Xi by Xiu Qiyu protecting her, most of the attacks were deflected, though her blood and qi were somewhat turbulent.
"Shameless scoundrel." The Nascent Soul Venerable swallowed several pills, but his expression grew increasingly grim.
"I forgot to tell you, I coated the dagger with Five Poisons Powder, so you still won't survive."
"You are shameless." The Nascent Soul Venerable's face turned ashen white, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which had turned pitch black.
"I advise you not to get angry; it might help you live a little longer." Ye Xiruo remained invisible, about five meters away from him.
"Antidote."
"This joke isn't funny at all. I'm not the Medicine King, how could I possibly cure poison? If you hadn't schemed against me and had left peacefully, this wouldn't have happened. Actually, I didn't want to kill anyone, but you had murderous intent towards me, so I had no choice but to strike first."
The cultivation world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, but she has always been too well protected, or subconsciously avoided this issue. Today is the first time she has killed someone.
It was not a pleasant experience. The bluish-gray quickly enveloped the Nascent Soul Venerable, corroding his true essence. Black blood began to flow continuously from his seven orifices, and he let out a series of miserable screams.
Even a three-year-old child in the Taiyan Continent knows that the Five Poisons Powder has no cure and will cause people to suffer excruciating pain and die.
This packet of Five Poisons Powder was personally refined by the eldest brother. It is twice as toxic as the regular Five Poisons Powder, so people die faster, but suffer less.
Ye Xiruo had thought she wouldn't have a chance to use the Five Poisons Powder, but she didn't expect to use it so soon. Her senior brother was right; you have no intention of harming others, but others do. You must take good care of yourself.
However, when she witnessed the death she had brought about, she was still uneasy and fearful. The aura of the Nascent Soul Venerable was getting weaker and weaker, and he had become an ordinary person. He would soon die in extreme pain.
A small dagger plunged directly into his brow. Ye Xiruo finally relented, ending his suffering with a single blow. Azure Lotus Heaven flew from her fingertips, its enchanting azure flames engulfing the horrific corpse, leaving not even ashes behind.
Having summoned Qinglian Tian, Ye Xiruo prepared to continue digging for spirit stones. He'd forgotten to take off his spatial ring earlier; a Yuan Venerable's wealth must be considerable.
The invisibility talisman was still effective. Ye Xi hung the water-repelling pearl around her neck and descended. The spiritual energy there was the most abundant. She didn't see any disciples or grand-disciples of the Nascent Soul Venerables along the way. The further down she went, the colder the icy river water became, and the greater the pressure in the water. If one didn't have profound cultivation or possess a water-repelling pearl, it would be difficult to descend.
"System, stop playing dead, the spirit stones are here."
"It's still early. Continue reading."
The glacial water below was almost pitch black, without a trace of light. When the soft blue light appeared before Ye Xiruo's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. After so long, they had finally arrived.
"System, collect the water here too, and use it to raise Snow Mountain Cold Fish." The water near the spiritual vein has absorbed the spiritual energy dissipating from the spiritual vein, making it much better than the water above.
That gentle blue light was the glow emitted by the spirit stone, along with the wisps of spiritual energy that constantly changed shape, creating an astonishing beauty at the bottom of the river.
Ye Xiruo took out her all-purpose shovel, enlarged it, and immediately started working as a miner. This spiritual vein seemed to be of the water attribute, which was why she cultivated with Brother Xiu Qi.
Ye Xiruo dug for a whole day and night without stopping, but only managed to dig one-third of the way before he was completely exhausted.
"System, is there any way to take away the remaining spiritual veins?"
"You're incredibly lucky. This spiritual vein has given birth to a spiritual vein heart. Only if you grasp the spiritual vein heart can I take the spiritual vein away."
How can I find the Heart of the Spirit Vein?
"The Heart of the Spirit Vein is mobile. Moreover, it can disguise itself as an ordinary spirit stone, so it is quite difficult to obtain."
Is there really no other way?
"Yes, the Heart of the Spirit Vein loves pure spiritual energy the most. Spring water in the space can be used to lure it, and it doesn't mind top-grade spirit stones either."
They dare to complain about top-grade spirit stones? Aren't they afraid of overeating them?
"What use would I have for it? If it's just like you, only good for consuming spirit stones, then forget it."
"With the Heart of the Spirit Stone, you can nurture a low-grade spiritual vein into a medium-grade spiritual vein, and a medium-grade spiritual vein into a high-grade spiritual vein. If the Heart of the Spirit Stone is upgraded, it can even turn a high-grade spiritual vein into a top-grade spiritual vein. This thing is extremely rare and hard to come by. You will definitely regret it if you miss it." The system was giving this heartfelt advice.
