Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

The other two Qi Refining stage robbers didn't escape either; they were all killed by Zhong Lingxin.

Zhong Lingxin kicked the eight robbers one foot at a time, piled them up, set them on fire and burned them to ashes. She then took the robbers' belongings, looked around, and swaggered away.

The cultivators who were hiding in the shadows watching Zhong Lingxin's battle with the bandits all concealed themselves even more tightly.

They originally intended to take advantage of the situation and wait for Zhong Lingxin and the robbers to settle things before they could act as the opportunists.

But now it seems that being a mantis stalking a cicada is not an easy task.

The female cultivator who killed eight robbers had clearly discovered them.

They could see clearly that the female cultivator had no shortage of spiritual energy; her breath was still strong!

They didn't want to be enemies with Zhong Lingxin, so they kept their presence hidden even more.

The more deeply hidden Qingyang Venerable Saint nodded. Although his little disciple had many mistakes that needed to be corrected when facing the enemy, his strategy was correct.

That's how you have to deal with a group of enemies.

It was worth it for him and Xuan Yuan to often share their combat experience with her. The little apprentice learned the essence, knew how to take the initiative, knew how to show weakness to the enemy, and knew that it was better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten.

As for the hidden enemies who were trying to take advantage of the situation, they were intimidated by the little apprentice's imposing manner.

The little apprentice's momentum is impressive, full of murderous intent, and he seems to want more.

With that attitude of wanting to do another three hundred rounds, anyone who saw it would be nervous.

The flock of orioles that gathered around ended up being shrewish chickens.

After confirming that no one dared to rob her, Zhong Lingxin slowly continued walking towards the inner perimeter.

If you continue forward, you will enter the territory of third-tier monsters.

Between the territories of third- and fourth-tier demonic beasts lies a fire vein, which is her destination.

Several figures flew overhead; they were cultivators at the Golden Core stage or higher.

Zhong Lingxin glanced at them dejectedly.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly, third-tier demonic beasts are equivalent to the Golden Core stage, especially various bird demonic beasts, most of which live in groups. She didn't want to be chased and beaten by a group of bird demons.

She should just walk on the ground honestly and pick some spiritual herbs and fruits along the way.

In her mind's eye, the figures of her friends had already appeared, though still blurry, but she could sense that they were all doing very well. They were all full of energy.

Huanhuan was the first to sense Zhong Lingxin, but she was being urged by Lele to enter the fire vein.

Lele was extremely excited; he sensed a great deal of fire within the fire vein.

These fires may not be of high level, but they suit him perfectly.

He's only at level three, which isn't very high.

The cloud deer, sweating profusely, were persuaded by Huanhuan to fight against the bitter cold and scorching heat, charging into the fire vein with high morale, while helping Lele search for strange fire as they charged.

Gradually, as Lele collected more and more second- and third-tier strange flames, she became dissatisfied.

He wanted a fourth-tier strange fire, which would be two major tiers higher than Xin Xin's.

When he reaches the fourth rank, he will either need to consume a fifth-rank strange fire or several fourth-rank strange fires to advance to the next rank.

Xin Xin is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, which limits their advancement. With their current abilities, they struggle to capture fourth-tier strange fire, let alone fifth-tier fire.

Huanhuan thought this made sense and waved her paw: "Clear the way!"

A large group of friends set off towards the center of the fire vein.

Uncle Xuanyuan strolled leisurely behind his friends.

Most of those who enter this fire vein are cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above. The few with lower cultivation levels are brought here by higher-level cultivators.

Huanhuan and her friends have been having a blast in the Luofeng Mountains lately, outmaneuvering several bandits and gradually gaining a reputation.

Several monks recognized them.

Many of the other monks did not recognize him.

Whether they recognized them or not, no one dared to mess with their friends anymore.

One reason is that my teammates are very powerful, and they even used high-level explosive talismans several times.

Secondly, there was Xuan Yuan following behind them. When they were on the outskirts, they didn't realize how powerful Xuan Yuan was, but after entering the Fire Vein, everyone felt the heat, except for Xuan Yuan, who didn't even wear an ice-cool coat and walked around with a relaxed expression.

The cultivators suddenly realized that this was a high-level cultivator bringing their junior's contracted beast for training.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, the cultivators all made way for their companions.

When Zhong Lingxin finally reached the edge of the fire vein after defeating several groups of cultivators and demonic beasts, she could only sense Huanhuan sweating profusely and Lele overjoyed in her sea of ​​consciousness.

The eight cloud deer have already been put away by Uncle Xuan Yuan. The center of this fire vein is truly not a place for cloud deer to stay.

Huanhuan was only holding on because of her divine beast physique.

Several times, she got her hair singed.

After burning it so many times, she got too lazy to clean it up. She needed to save all her spiritual power to help Lele capture the strange fire.

Zhong Lingxin almost burst out laughing when she saw Huanhuan, whose body was covered in dirty black fur, in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Huanhuan is extremely clean, and she always uses her spiritual power to groom and clean herself whenever she has a chance.

Now, she's going all out for Lele.

Looking at Lele, he had been capturing strange flames for days, and had fought with them several times.

Even though he won by relying on the pressure of his divine fire, it was an extremely difficult victory.

He's only at level three!

They're really going all out for a promotion.

Zhong Lingxin put on the ice windbreaker and, following the connection she shared with her companions, slowly walked towards the center of the fire vein.

Lele was so frightened that she sent a message to Zhong Lingxin: "Xinxin, don't come in. I'll catch two more flowers, enough for me to advance and then I'll leave. The fire poison in here is too strong, you can't handle it."

Zhong Lingxin comforted Lele: "Don't worry, I will act within my capabilities and will not force my way in."

Lele felt relieved and continued her search for the strange fire.

This fire vein isn't very high-level; the highest-level strange fire here is only fourth-order.

The strange flames had already gained intelligence. After a few of them were caught, they were all afraid of Lele and kept their distance from him.

After exchanging messages, Zhong Lingxin and Lele stopped rushing towards the center of the fire vein and began searching for Flame Fruit on the outskirts.

Flame Fruit is a key ingredient in the Fire Spirit Pill, and it grows in all fire veins.

Cultivators with fire elemental roots can accelerate their cultivation speed by consuming fire elemental pills, so the demand for fire fruits is very high.

Zhong Lingxin possesses a fire spirit root. She plans to collect ten to submit to the sect as part of a mission, and keep the rest for herself.

Many cultivators come to the Fire Vein to harvest Flame Fruit.

Following the map, Zhong Lingxin slowly walked towards a lava field.

There grows a forest of fiery fruit there.

By this time, the Flame Fruit had ripened.

Each Flame Fruit tree was surrounded by monks who came to pick the Flame Fruit.

The largest number of cultivators gathered under the few Flame Fruit trees outside.

Some of the cultivators shouted, "Newcomers, come inside! There are many more inside!"

Everyone laughed. According to the unwritten rule, in order not to damage the Flame Fruit Tree, whoever waits under the tree first gets to pick the fruit.

But the further you go in, the closer you get to the lava pool, and the higher the temperature becomes.

Of course, it's not entirely without its advantages; the closer you are to the lava pool, the bigger the Flame Fruit will be.
