He had said long ago that if he wanted to seize this semi-divine artifact, he couldn't rush it. Who knew that the other party overheard the exact location where the seven-colored thundercloud was about to land and immediately sent his subordinates to search for it.
After this incident, his impression of the city lord worsened.
Being brave but reckless is bad enough, but he also has ambitions that are too high.
He was able to ascend to the position of Lord of Xingyao City, probably through a combination of martial prowess and luck.
After that, Mu Qingfeng no longer got involved, leaving the City Lord of Xingyao City to search for him.
He led the second-tier weapon refiner out of the city lord's mansion. The city lord, out of respect for the other party's status, dared not stop him and could only reluctantly let him leave.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Mu Qingfeng gave the weapon refiner a token: "I see that you have a great talent for weapon refining. If you can go to the Cloud Cauldron Continent one day, you can use this token to join the Weapon Refining Sect of the Cloud Cauldron Continent."
Upon seeing the token, the man was naturally overjoyed.
Overjoyed to be praised by his idol, he quickly reached out and took the token.
Watching his idol leave, he secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to cultivate and strive for the opportunity to go to the Cloud Cauldron Continent.
He cannot betray the trust of his idol!
Thinking this, the subordinate unconsciously increased the strength in his grip on the token.
After one night, Lin Jingge had recovered to her peak condition.
After absorbing most of the lotion, she found that her cultivation level had improved considerably.
Early that morning, I went to Starry Forest again.
Unbeknownst to her, not long after she left, the City Lord of Xingyao City sent people again, unwilling to give up, to search for her in the cultivation room.
This displeased the Eastern Clan.
The Eastern Clan even invited their patriarch from the imperial city, causing a scene before the City Lord of Xingyao finally calmed things down.
Because of this incident, the news that there was a semi-divine artifact in Xingyao City spread.
——
Meanwhile, Lin Jingge had already plunged headlong into the third-tier monster area of the Starry Forest.
Her purpose for this trip was simple: she hoped that higher-level demonic beasts would have a greater chance of dropping spirit cores.
These spirit cores are better than spirit stones; she needs to stockpile some for refining artifacts.
Third-tier monsters are not so easy to deal with.
Lin Jingge, a mere spirit master, was still somewhat lacking in skill, even with her bare hands.
After fighting the spider bare-handed for a while, Lin Jingge was starting to feel the strain.
But the giant eight-eyed spider in front of them grew stronger with each battle.
Lin Jingge kicked the opponent's foreleg, which was thicker than her arm, and used the force to do a backflip, creating distance between herself and the giant eight-eyed spider.
Lin Jingge was panting heavily. Although she hadn't used up much of her spiritual energy, her fists were already red.
She had fought giant eight-eyed spiders, which were very elastic. When she punched one, it had little effect and she was bounced back.
Seeing Lin Jingge create some distance, the giant eight-eyed spider assumed she was about to run away.
It quickly spat out sticky white spider silk from its mouth.
Lin Jingge didn't even have time to catch her breath before she quickly leaped away to avoid it.
It dodged one part, but got stuck to another.
The spider silk was extremely sticky, and she was brought down by the enormous pulling force of the spider silk that stuck to her feet.
The spider silk quickly retracted, dragging Lin Jingge towards the giant eight-eyed spider.
Lin Jingge's back was rubbed against the ground, and bloodstains had already appeared.
The giant eight-eyed spider moved very quickly. By the time Lin Jingge took out her longsword, which was gleaming with a cold light, the spider silk was almost finished.
She swung her sword and slashed.
The longsword flashed with a cold light, and it was quite effective, instantly splitting the spider silk in two.
Lin Jingge did not run away immediately, but kicked the giant eight-eyed spider's leg and then leaped high into the air.
He held the longsword vertically and dropped it from the air, the sword plunging heavily into the giant eight-eyed spider's eyeball.
Xiao Shi told Lin Jingge about the spider's weakness when she faced the giant eight-eyed spider.
Eight eyes, like human eyes, grow on the head of the giant eight-eyed spider, and the head is full of weaknesses.
The giant eight-eyed spider was struck in its weak spot, and a foul stench emanated from it.
Greenish-brown mucus gushed out the moment the eyeball was pierced.
Without a second thought, Lin Jingge immediately drew her sword, circulated the spiritual energy around her, and leaped away.
The green, sticky liquid fell to the ground and corroded the vegetation.
The giant eight-eyed spider went berserk.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to break through to the fourth level right in front of Lin Jingge.
[Oh no! Gege, stop it quickly! You can't let it break through to the fourth rank. If it jumps two ranks, you can't beat it!] Xiao Shi, who had been paying close attention to the battle, was very sensitive to the energy fluctuations around him.
Seeing the giant eight-eyed spider suddenly sweeping wildly through the surrounding spiritual energy, he quickly cried out to warn Lin Jingge.
[Gege, hit its eyes! Gouge out all eight of its eyes and then you won't be afraid of it anymore!] Xiao Shi's sharp voice rang in Lin Jingge's mind.
On the battlefield, things change in an instant, and Xiao Shi is also on edge.
Lin Jingge originally had the upper hand. She had finally found a lone third-tier demon beast and was about to engage in a hand-to-hand battle.
Who knew that not long after, this giant eight-eyed spider forced Lin Jingge to draw her sword?
This has now put Lin Jingge at a direct disadvantage.
Lin Jingge, carrying her longsword, was about to step forward and stop the giant eight-eyed spider from absorbing spiritual energy to break through when suddenly a black figure flew towards her.
A long flute flew straight toward Lin Jingge's face.
If Lin Jingge were to be struck by this long flute, she would likely die on the spot.
Xiao Shi was so frightened that he forgot to breathe.
They didn't even offer a word of warning.
Lin Jingge reacted a second faster.
She was on guard when the black figure appeared, and when she realized that the other party was coming for her, she immediately raised her long sword to block the long flute.
He channeled his spiritual energy into his feet and retreated rapidly.
Chang Xiao was blocked by the blade of the longsword. The opponent was unwilling to let go so easily and used force to keep blocking Lin Jingge's longsword.
What was originally a contest between two magical artifacts has now turned into a contest between the two people's spiritual power.
Lin Jingge was forced back against the tree trunk, where she braced herself against the massive tree with one foot and used her hands to block the person in front of her.
It all happened in an instant; Lin Jingge didn't even get a clear look at the other person's face.
It was only during the spiritual energy confrontation that Lin Jingge could clearly see the appearance of the black figure.
"Chu Wang!" Lin Jingge exclaimed in surprise, gritting her teeth as she called out the other person's name.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Chu Wang.
If looks could kill, Chu Wang would have died a thousand times over.
"Fiancée, how have you been?" Chu Wang didn't care about Lin Jingge's murderous gaze; instead, a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Chu Wang!" Lin Jingge roared and kicked the other man between the legs.
Her foot was radiating spiritual energy; if she were to land a kick, Chu Wang would be guaranteed to be childless.
Chu Wang cursed under his breath, and without bothering to block Lin Jingge, he hurriedly dodged away.
His grip loosened, immediately giving Lin Jingge an opportunity.
