Fairy bestows immortality

She felt ashamed to say it before, which is why she didn't say it right away, but now she has no choice but to say it.

Seeing Zi Yanqiong's appearance, Su Yun couldn't help but laugh, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Zi Yanqiong keenly noticed Su Yun's smile, immediately glared at him, and raised her fist: "What are you laughing at? Are you asking for a beating?"

"No no."

Su Yun waved his hand.

He became serious and said, "Let's think about how to find the mystical energy of the mountain range."

"It's such a waste of time to search aimlessly like this."

Zi Yanqiong asked, "Then what good ideas do you have?"

"This one……"

Su Yun pondered for a moment.

At this moment, he was thinking about the detailed annotations in the book he had seen, describing the habits of the mysterious energy of the mountains.

According to the annotations, once the mountain's spiritual energy is generated, it will first move towards the area with the most abundant spiritual energy in order to absorb more nutrients from heaven and earth, as well as the power of the mountains, to strengthen itself.

Thinking of this, he spoke with Zi Yanqiong.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the compass that the fat monk had given him earlier.

"What is this?"

Zi Yanqiong was somewhat surprised.

Su Yun grinned and said, "For treasure hunting."

This thing hasn't been used in a long time, but it's come in handy right now.

He activated the secret technique that the fat monk had taught him and applied it to the compass.

Then, the compass emitted light, and its pointer began to shake rapidly.

Zi Yanqiong, standing to the side, watched with inexplicable curiosity.

Su Yun watched the pointer above, which swayed for a while before finally stabilizing and pointing to the interior of Qilin Ridge.

"Follow the general direction of the pointer and go take a look, try your luck."

The two mounted the white horse again and swayed as they headed into the interior of Qilin Ridge.

Along the way, powerful roars of beasts could be heard from time to time, shaking the mountains and forests and startling countless birds into flying away from the woods.

Su Yun slowly said, "There are probably still some powerful ferocious beasts here, so we need to be careful."

It would be impossible for such deep mountains and steep ridges not to have powerful ferocious beasts roaming around.

"That's certainly true of Qilin Ridge; it's a place for training..."

Zi Yanqiong had only spoken halfway when her pupils suddenly contracted.

"careful!"

She gave a low drink.

On a large tree to Su Yun's left, a long, dark object suddenly shot down.

It was incredibly fast, like a bolt of black lightning, heading straight for Su Yun's throat!

Upon closer inspection, it was a ferocious snake less than a meter long and as thick as two fingers, emanating an aura that clearly indicated it was at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm!

However, Su Yun snorted coldly, swiftly raised his hand, grabbed the snake's vital spot, and held it firmly in his hand, rendering it unable to move.

"The Night Serpent of the Fifth Level of Qi Sea".

Su Yun spoke slowly.

He had encountered a ninth-level beast of the same kind before, but he never expected to encounter a fifth-level Qi Sea beast this time.

This ferocious snake is known for its stealth attacks, is adept at hiding, and can kill with a single blow.

If caught off guard, its sharp head could easily bite through a cultivator's neck.

Looking at the ferocious snake in his hand, Su Yun frowned slightly.

He sensed something unusual about this ferocious snake...

It seems like it's being manipulated!

"Crack!"

He used a sudden burst of force, crushing the serpent's head and extracting its beast essence, which he then threw onto the ground.

Then, he looked up and surveyed his surroundings, his eyes cold.

"This vicious snake is being controlled by someone; someone is nearby..."

Su Yun's eyes were cold as he scanned his surroundings, trying to see if anyone was hiding nearby.

However, apart from the chirping of birds, beasts, and insects, there was no trace of human cultivators around.

He snorted coldly.

It seems the other party is hiding in the distance and hasn't dared to approach.

Beside her, Zi Yanqiong frowned and said, "Is the Night Serpent being controlled by someone?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "That's right, I sensed something was wrong. There is the aura of a human cultivator inside this ferocious snake. It is definitely a method of controlling ferocious beasts."

This is not surprising. This is not the first time he has encountered a cultivator who controls ferocious beasts. Many cultivators use the control of ferocious beasts as a means to gain personal benefits.
