So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Time flies, and a month has passed quietly.

During this period, Ling Jiuan not only faithfully guarded the cultivation of Lei Tingyi, Liu Zhu and Liu Ying, but he himself also never slacked off, persisted in body training, and immersed himself in the path of improving strength every minute and every second.

Finally, the three people's retreat period ended and they came out one after another.

The sisters Liuzhu and Liuying have made great progress in their cultivation and have reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy surrounds them, revealing their profound inner strength.

Lei Tingyi, on the other hand, broke through the bottleneck and entered the middle stage of the distraction realm, his eyes flashing with the wisdom that sees through the world.

Ling Jiuan looked at the three companions in front of him, a ripple appeared in his heart, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a bit of uncertainty in his tone.

"Although we have achieved something now, can we really deal with the threat of the beast tide?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi raised a confident smile and looked determined.

"It doesn't matter. It's time to show our strength. Let's go. The beast tide is coming. It's a good opportunity for us to train!"

However, as soon as the four of them came out of the customs, they heard a piece of news that made them feel nervous.

The wild beasts are rioting, and Xinghuo City's young master Xing Tianye is unfortunately seriously injured, and the situation is critical.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan's expression instantly became solemn, with an expression of worry that was difficult to conceal between his brows.

"Savage beast... This, this is no ordinary trouble."

Noticing Ling Jiuan's worry, Lei Tingyi patted his shoulder gently, his tone filled with comfort and determination.

"Don't be too anxious. We can take the initiative and find the wild beast's lair. Although the wild beasts are violent and unpredictable, they are different from other monsters. They follow a primitive rule - once the wild beast king falls, the rest of the wild beasts will fall into chaos until a new king is born. We just need to find and defeat the wild beast king, and this crisis will be resolved."

Ling Jiuan looked at him, and the uneasiness in her heart was gradually replaced by an inexplicable trust. She took a deep breath, nodded, and determination reappeared in her eyes.

"Okay, then let's go together, find the Savage Beast King, and put an end to this riot!"

Lei Tingyi shook his head, his eyes filled with deep thought.

"Before we go to the heartland of the Savage Beasts, we have one more important preparation to make. We need to first look for the Fire Ganoderma, which is an extremely precious spiritual herb. After you take it, it can further temper your body and open up the meridians throughout your body, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he was filled with gratitude.

She knew that Lei Tingyi always considered her so carefully at critical moments.

She smiled softly, her tone firm.

"Okay, then let's go find Huozhi first. Improving our strength will also help us better cope with the challenges ahead."

After the four of them had made their decision, they immediately set off for the legendary place where the fire fungus grew.

The road is long and full of unknowns, but their hearts are full of trust in each other and expectations for the future.

After several days of trekking, they finally came to a valley that was as hot as fire.

In the valley, heat waves were rolling, as if even the air was burning.

And in this sea of ​​fire, clusters of fiery red fire fungi are growing quietly, emitting alluring light.

"Found it, this is Huozhi!"

Liu Zhu pointed forward excitedly, his tone full of excitement.

Ling Jiuan looked at the fire fungus, his eyes gleaming with desire.

Under the leadership of Lei Tingyi, they carefully collected the fire ganoderma, ensuring that each one was intact.

When Ling Jiuan took the most precious Fire Ganoderma, she felt a surge of hot energy surging in her body, as if it was tempering her body to be tougher.

As time went by, Ling Jiuan's body gradually emitted a faint red light, which was a sign that her meridians were being opened.

Her strength, at this moment, made a qualitative leap.

When everything was settled, Ling Jiuan stood up, feeling the unprecedented power in her body, with confidence shining in her eyes.

"Okay, I'm ready. Now, we can go to the heart of the Savage Beasts, find the Savage Beast King, and put an end to this riot!"

Lei Tingyi still did not nod easily. His eyes were deep, as if he was weighing some important decision.

"That's not enough. We still have to go to the Wu family. The fire ganoderma that the Wu family treasures is of extraordinary quality and will play a vital role in your subsequent blood-for-gold elixir exchange."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, although he felt a little anxious, he also understood Lei Tingyi's thoughtful consideration.

She nodded in agreement, and the group headed to the Wu family.

After arriving at the Wu family, they explained their purpose and wanted to obtain the Fire Ganoderma.

However, after hearing this, the head of the Wu family couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"The Fire Ganoderma that Young Master Lei needs is indeed a treasure of our Wu family. However, this Fire Ganoderma is not easily obtained. It is protected by the formation set up by our Wu family's ancestors. Only by breaking through the formation can you get it."

Hearing this, Lei Tingyi did not seem surprised, as he had already expected that obtaining the Fire Ganoderma would not be that easy.

he suggested.

"In that case, let's rest for a day at the Wu family and go to challenge the formation tomorrow. Everyone needs time to adjust to their condition and ensure that they are in the best condition to face the challenge."

Upon hearing this, others also expressed their agreement.

So, the group settled down at the Wu family and began to prepare for tomorrow's challenge.

They practiced their mental skills and adjusted their breathing, striving to exert their best strength when breaking through the formation.

The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and onto the entrance to the Wu family's back mountain.

The four of them were ready to go, with determination gleaming in their eyes.

They knew that today would be a test, but for the precious fire mushroom, they had to do their best.

After all, whether Ling Jiuan can break through to the golden elixir stage depends on whether he has the fire ganoderma.

After entering the back mountain, they soon arrived at the location of the Wu family's formation.

The formation was arranged quite cleverly, but it did not pose much of a threat to Lei Tingyi.

He concentrated and calmed his mind, carefully observing the operating rules of the formation, and then easily found a way to break it.

As Lei Tingyi took action, the light in the formation gradually dissipated, and the originally tight layout was also broken down one by one.

However, when the formation was completely destroyed, everyone did not see the expected fire fungus appear.

For a moment, an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

"What happened? The formation was broken, but the fire mushroom disappeared?"

Liu Zhu frowned and said, her tone full of doubt and confusion.

Lei Tingyi also frowned. He looked around, trying to find any possible clues.

However, there was nothing unusual around except the dense woods and the occasional bird calls.
