'Lingling, spirit of the artifact, can you hear me? Are you still there? Answer me, please say something!'
Meanwhile, Wen Jianxi, who was fighting and retreating, was also desperately calling out to the spirit in her mind. She was so anxious that tears were about to well up in her eyes, but she dared not slacken her movements in the slightest.
She was afraid that if she slowed down even a moment, she would be caught off guard by the spirit beasts attacking her, who would then take the opportunity to strike her hard.
To be honest, she was really excited and relieved when she got the storage bag, and she didn't hesitate at all when activating the teleportation talisman.
Her heart and eyes were filled with the joy of having snatched back the opportunity; the feeling of that treasure returning made her tremble uncontrollably.
At that moment, she even began to speculate that the treasure might be a divine artifact or a magical plant.
Thinking that if she could obtain the divine artifact, it would be like having an extra life. In the future, she could just kill anyone she didn't like, and she wouldn't need to be so cautious and considerate as she is now.
Anyway, she has a divine artifact. No matter how powerful those ancestors are, they can't break through the artifact's defenses and kill her. Just thinking about it makes her feel great.
Of course, she wouldn't mind if it were a divine plant or fruit; she could even plant it in her space. As long as she controlled the time difference, she was sure she could reproduce it.
Then she can eat one herself and sell one, and use the spirit stones she gets to buy more resources, making herself invincible.
The divine fruit was the same; it was her opportunity, the possibility for her to soar to great heights.
Don't ask why she has such a beautiful dream. This isn't the first time she's had this feeling; once it was when she obtained a spatial artifact, and another time it was when she encountered a treasure-hunting rat.
Although the feeling wasn't quite right this time, she believed that even the worst thing would be a divine item, otherwise she wouldn't have this feeling.
What Wen Jianxi didn't expect was that just as she was hoping to get what she wanted, the male cultivator tampered with her teleportation talisman.
Instead of being teleported back to the Wanyue City Inn, she was teleported to the inner perimeter of the Xianglai Forest.
Although the Xianglai Forest is not of a high level, it is still the inner area of the Xianglai Forest, and there are quite a few spirit beasts. It is still very dangerous for a late Foundation Establishment cultivator like her to travel alone.
And that wasn't the worst of it. As soon as she stepped out of the teleportation array, the artifact spirit told her that it had been seriously injured by the male cultivator when it snatched the storage bag, and it needed to sleep for a while to recover.
Then the spirit only had time to throw the newly acquired storage bag and some other items to her before turning into a stream of light and disappearing into her dantian without a sound.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Jianxi discovered that she could no longer enter the space. No matter how she tried, she could not enter, nor could she take out anything.
Even the usually powerful artifact spirit was now as if it were dead, offering no response whatsoever.
This discovery was utterly unbelievable, like a bolt from the blue. She stood there stunned for a long time before she had to accept this difficult reality, a reality that almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
Since obtaining this spatial artifact, successfully forming a contract with it, and meeting its spirit, she has stored almost all of her wealth in this space.
Since no one else knows about the existence of this space except herself, it's the safest and most secure place for her to put her things; no one else can find them even if they want to.
But now she can't enter the space or take out the things inside. For her, it's a devastating disaster. She almost developed inner demons because of it.
Fortunately, she sensed that the contract with the artifact spirit was still in place at the last moment, which calmed her down.
Recalling the spirit's words, he realized that the other party was seriously injured and just needed to be shut down for repair, which put him at ease.
As long as the connection isn't completely severed, or the spirit isn't destroyed, her space will still exist, her resources will still exist, and the things she put inside won't disappear.
She wouldn't become a penniless nobody because of this, and only then did Wen Jianxi feel relieved.
As soon as Wen Jianxi came to her senses, she realized that she was in a dangerous situation in the inner perimeter of Xianglai Forest, so she quickly picked up the things that the artifact spirit had hurriedly thrown out.
Upon closer inspection, they were all basic pills and array plates, clearly hastily gathered in a rush. If she remembered correctly, she had stored many of them herself.
Although Wen Jianxi was somewhat displeased with this, at least her life was temporarily safe, which relieved her.
Relaxed, Wen Jianxi also had time to check the storage bag she had just stolen.
Upon discovering that there was no divine imprint on the storage bag, she didn't think much of it and opened it almost without hesitation. Then, a flurry of powder rushed towards her.
By the time she realized what it was, it was too late; she was already covered in beast-attracting powder.
Wen Jianxi had used the Beast-Attracting Powder quite a bit before to deal with female cultivators she looked down on or was jealous of, so she was naturally familiar with it.
It was precisely because of their acquaintance, and the fact that they were in the Xianglai Forest, that Wen Jianxi became even more flustered. Her first instinct was to hide in the space, but naturally, she couldn't get in.
Even changing her clothes was impossible due to the closed space. Helpless, Wen Jianxi could only keep condensing water balls and throwing them at herself in an attempt to wash away the smell of the beast-attracting powder.
The smell of the enhanced animal-attracting powder is not something that can be easily washed away.
In the end, not only did she fail to wash it off, but because she wasted time and failed to escape in time, the spirit beasts that smelled the beast-attracting powder came to her and started fighting without saying a word.
Wen Jianxi, of course, would not stand idly by and take the beating, so she immediately engaged the spirit beast in battle.
To be honest, Wen Jianxi's strength is quite high in Xianglai Forest, which has no high-level spirit beasts, and normally there would be no danger to her life.
Unfortunately, she had been covered in beast-attracting powder, and those spirit beasts kept coming to her, like a relentless battle. Before long, her spiritual power was completely exhausted.
Knowing she was no match for them, Wen Jianxi began to consume pills to replenish her spiritual energy while fleeing towards the outer perimeter. As long as she encountered someone or escaped back to Wanyue City, she would be safe.
Of course, while desperately trying to escape, she did not forget to call out to the spirit in her heart, hoping to get a response from the spirit in the next second, so that she could go into the space to hide.
But fate was against her; she had already moved from the inner perimeter to the outer perimeter, but the spirit of the artifact did not give her any response.
She had already used up most of the pills and protective array plates that the artifact spirit had thrown out.
Seeing that she was about to be swallowed up by the horde of spirit beasts, Wen Jianxi steeled her heart, stuffed the last pill into her mouth, and then pulled out a hairpin from her hair, triggering the hidden energy within.
