puff!

"what!"

"what!"

Blood gushed out of their mouths and they groaned in pain.

A series of shrill screams followed.

At this moment, the nine young men felt as if their whole bodies were cut by countless sharp blades. The pain was excruciating and all the strength seemed to be drained out of their bodies. They could only lie on the ground powerlessly, covering the bloody wounds on their bodies with their hands.

Swish!

Zhang Xiaoshan stretched out his hand and waved, instantly retracting the thousands of green vines. Suddenly, the brilliant magic light dissipated into nothingness.

"You guys are the ones who want to attack me. What a joke."

Zhang Xiaoshan landed steadily on the ground, walked towards the nine young men with a calm expression, and said with a contemptuous tone.

Then, Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand again and quickly took off the storage bags from the waists of the nine people, then turned around and strode towards the woman in red not far away.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang, for your help."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan gradually approaching, the woman in red said with a smile.

"Senior Sister Song, those nine young men just attacked you. Are you not injured?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Song Yanli with concern and said with a smile.

Song Yanli smiled, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm not injured. I was just besieged by several of them, which consumed a lot of my spiritual energy and also drained a lot of my physical strength."

As she spoke, the woman in red sat down on the ground.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and looked at the woman in red with infatuated eyes. Her eyes were hazy and affectionate like autumn water, her long hair fluttered like fairy clouds brushing against willows, and her red sleeves swayed gently in the wind.

Zhang Xiaoshan moved a little closer, and suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted over, and Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Senior sister, you smell so good."

Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed and murmured.

Song Yanli rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaoshan without saying anything. She slowly raised her hands and began to practice her energy.

After a stick of incense, Song Yanli slowly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up lightly.

With a quick glance, he saw two more people standing beside Zhang Xiaoshan not far away, one of whom was wearing the uniform of an outer disciple of the Lingmu Sect.

"Senior Sister Song, why are you in this endless forest?"

When Zhang Xiaoshan saw Song Yanli stand up, he quickly walked over and said.

"I am here to participate in the Lingmu Sect assessment and become an inner disciple."

Song Yanli spoke softly.

"Senior Sister Song, aren't you Song Lie's daughter?

Why do you still want to take this kind of test? If your father had helped you, wouldn't it be easy for you to become an inner disciple of the Lingmu Sect?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly stunned and said.

Song Yanli said calmly, "It is true that I can become an inner disciple directly through my father, but that is not something I have achieved through my own abilities.

I am participating in the Lingmu Sect's assessment this time because I want to become an inner disciple based on my true abilities."

Song Yanli paused, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, and said:

How do you know my true identity? When did you start asking about other people's private affairs?

If you have this skill, you might as well practice it well. "

"Senior Sister Song, I didn't mean to know your true identity. I only know it because I accepted a younger brother who is an outer disciple of your Lingmu Sect."

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled and said.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you are so brave that you dare to accept Lingmu Sect's outer disciples as your disciples. This is tarnishing the reputation of Lingmu Sect.

If this gets out, your life might be in danger."

Song Yanli nodded, glanced at the two people behind Zhang Xiaoshan, and said.

"Sister, as long as you don't tell anyone, who would know?"

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Besides, the relationship between Lin Daming and I is as strong as gold, and he is my loyal partner.

Oh, and Ma Sanlong beside me is also my loyal partner. "

"Junior Brother Zhang, you are so amazing!

In just a few months, you have already accepted two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building as your younger brothers, and you yourself have reached the realm of the middle stage of foundation building. You are truly a cultivation genius."

Song Yanli smiled and said.

"Senior Sister, haven't you also cultivated to the initial stage of foundation building?" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"I don't have as good a talent as you, Junior Brother. I was able to break through to the initial stage of foundation building after swallowing a magic spirit pill."

Song Yanli said with a self-deprecating smile.

"what?

Senior Sister, you actually swallowed the Devil Spirit Pill?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said.

"Is there any problem?" Song Yanli said with a faint smile.

"Sister, this Demon Spirit Pill is for demonic cultivators. Swallowing this Demon Spirit Pill will affect your mind and will not benefit your cultivation."

Zhang Xiaoshan spoke.

Song Yanli smiled faintly and said, "How can this magic pill have no benefit for cultivation?

Look at me, I broke through from the middle stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and I am just a little bit away from breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."

Song Yanli paused and said, "But you are right about one thing.

When I swallowed the Devil Spirit Pill earlier, I was restless and even a little dazed. Fortunately, I used the Ice Heart Technique to forcefully suppress my disordered mind, which eased it a lot. "

"Sister, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uneasy?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said.

"Every two sticks of incense, my mental power becomes hazy and restless, but fortunately I have the Ice Heart Technique to suppress it." Song Yanli said.

"It seems like this is the aftereffect of taking the Magic Pill!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Senior Sister, then do you want to go with me to look for spiritual objects, and then wait until the appointed time to leave the Endless Forest?"

"Junior brother, please do me a favor, are you willing?"

Song Yanli hesitated for a moment and said.

"Senior Sister, what do you want me to help you with?" Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly stunned and said.

"Junior brother, you are now a foundation-building cultivator, and you have accepted two younger brothers in the early foundation-building stage. If you add me, we will have four early foundation-building cultivators."

Song Yanli said directly: "If the four of us go to the cave together and break some of the formations in the cave, we can get a lot of magic spirit pills."

“Senior Sister, do you still want that Demon Spirit Pill?

Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to suppress your restless state after taking the Devil Spirit Pill again? "

Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment and said with his eyes wide open.

"After swallowing the Devil Spirit Pill, there are indeed some side effects, but so what?"

Song Yanli looked calm and said firmly, "If I can find more Demon Spirit Pills, my realm will be greatly improved."

"Senior Sister, you are already a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. If you practice well and focus on your cultivation, maybe in two or three years, you can break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

Why bother to take the risk of searching for the magic pill? "

Zhang Xiaoshan looked slightly surprised and spoke anxiously.
