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

Unbeknownst to her, she incorporated her divine consciousness into her piano playing.

The effect of playing it is even more aggressive.

As dawn broke, the wolf king, realizing he could no longer succeed, let out another short, low howl.

One by one, the swift wolves lowered their bodies and turned to run away.

In the blink of an eye, only wolf carcasses and patches of blood remained on the ground.

When a bright white appeared on the horizon, only the cultivators remained in the entire mountain forest.

The wolf pack attacked all night, devouring all the cultivators they had killed, leaving not even bone fragments, before retreating cleanly and efficiently.

Most of the cultivators who survived the calamity collapsed to the ground, and many of the junior cultivators who had lost their companions burst into tears.

Zhong Lingxin and a few other cultivators stood there, all looking exhausted after the fierce battle.

The cultivator who came down from the same tree as Zhong Lingxin bowed to her and said, "My name is Ge Hongtian, from the Chaoyuan Sect. I am a few years older than you. May I ask your surname, Junior Sister?"

Zhong Lingxin immediately recognized him as the closed-door disciple of the Chaoyuan Sect's leader and the son of the Guiyuan City Lord, who was located east of the Mangyuan Mountains.

He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Zhong Lingxin, from the Qingyun Sect."

The Qingyun Sect is a second-level sect, and Zhong Lingxin is extremely low-key.

Ge Hongtian was an elite disciple of the five major sects and paid attention to the elites of the five major sects. However, he only paid attention to a few famous genius disciples of Qingyun Sect, which was at the bottom of the second-level sects. Therefore, he had no impression of Zhong Lingxin at all.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't remember, Zhong Lingxin's performance today left a very deep impression on him.

He believed that as long as Zhong Lingxin did not die young, she would surely become a dazzling existence in the Immortal Spirit Continent.

Ge Hongtian smiled and said, "So it's Junior Sister Zhong. I've heard so much about you."

Zhong Lingxin could tell from his facial expression that he had never actually heard of her.

But she didn't need to expose it.

The Chaoyuan Sect and the Qingyun Sect have no vested interests, so it wouldn't be bad to make friends. Who knows, we might even run into each other someday during our training.

Ge Hongtian shared the same thought.

The two quickly exchanged contact information and discussed taking a trip into the Mangyuan Mountains.

Several other cultivators also gathered around.

Among them was the male cultivator from the small family that Zhong Lingxin encountered when she first entered the outer perimeter.

After helping the family treat the injured, he came to express his gratitude to them.

Zhong Lingxin had a good impression of him; he was a steady and good young man.

He heard the others introduce themselves, and then introduced himself as well: "Zhan Heng of the Zhan family of Xiyuan City. Greetings, fellow senior brothers and sisters."

This is yet another person who isn't well-known but performed exceptionally well today.

People are happy to make friends.

They all exchanged contact information.

The Zhan family suffered heavy losses in this training exercise. Uncle Yu, who led the group, was seriously injured, and the other two guards were dead. The young female cultivator called Seventh Sister had her right arm bitten off by a Gale Wolf and was also clawed in the face. She had just taken a healing pill and was now slumped on the ground. Several other younger members of the Zhan family were also seriously injured.

Zhong Lingxin looked at the Zhan family.

The one called Seventh Sister struggled to raise her left hand and say "Thank you" to Zhong Lingxin.

If it weren't for Zhong Lingxin's timely piano music, she wouldn't have just lost an arm; she would have been bitten on the head by that Gale Wolf and died on the spot.

Zhong Lingxin smiled. Although the little girl was unruly, she wasn't inherently bad.

Several cultivators were severely injured and were on the verge of death.

Their family had no choice but to seek help from a few standing monks.

They could all tell that these people standing there hadn't stopped fighting all night and must all be from major families or sects.

Ge Hongtian was not stingy and readily gave them the healing pills, telling them to return the pills to Guiyuan City after they recovered.

Zhong Lingxin watched with a smile. With Ge Hongtian stepping forward, there was no need for her to do the same.

Who can blame them when they are both the closed-door disciple of the sect leader of a major sect and the son of the lord of a nearby city?

Several standing cultivators began to analyze the reasons why the Gale Wolves had mobilized all their forces to attack them.

"Senior brothers, in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Wild Plains Mountains, there has never been such a large-scale attack on cultivators by Gale Wolves. Do you know why?"

"I don't know. I've only heard that in previous years, cultivators would fight against small groups of Gale Wolves, at most a few hundred. But this time, there are thousands, stretching as far as the eye can see. They're all gray and swarming."

"It's not just a few thousand; I estimate there are over a thousand surrounding us. There are three groups, at least three thousand."

"It seems like all the Gale Wolves have been mobilized. Why are they doing this? Who stole their wolf cubs?"

"It shouldn't be. People from the surrounding cities love to come here to train and often fight with the Gale Wolves. Many have captured wolf cubs; there are dozens every year. It shouldn't be that."

"Could it be that they stole the wolf king's cubs? I think the wolf king is ready to kill us all. You know, if we all die, experts from our families and sects will definitely come to wipe out the wolf pack. But this wolf king doesn't care and just fights desperately."

For a moment, everyone was confused.

Everyone was extremely tired, so they all retreated to the outer perimeter and rested for a day before continuing.

While everyone was making wild guesses, Xuan Yuan secretly transmitted his voice to Zhong Lingxin: "Xiaoxin, I went to see. The wolf king's litter of cubs was stolen by a cultivator, and the mother wolf is still heartbroken in the den."

Zhong Lingxin was annoyed; they really had stolen a wolf cub!

Xuan Yuan continued, "It was done by cultivators from the Lingyun Sect. They're amazing; not only did they steal the wolf cubs, they also left a sword aura in the wolf den."

Zhong Lingxin frowned. The Lingyun Sect's headquarters were quite far from here, and they generally didn't come here to operate.

The group rested on the outskirts for two days.

Two days later, most of the injured cultivators returned home.

More cultivators seeking experience poured into the Mangyuan Mountains.

The Mangyuan Mountains have returned to their former liveliness.

Ge Hongtian asked Zhong Lingxin to walk further inside.

The two had the same sect mission: to collect Azure Rain Flowers.

With the weather turning gloomy and rain likely to come soon, it's the perfect time to pick green rain flowers.

Several other cultivators who wanted to pick Green Rain Flowers joined their group after hearing about their plans.

A cultivator took out a map and said happily, "My name is Ming Jingchen. My home is in Minghe City nearby. I know where to pick them. We pick a lot every year."

One of the cultivators laughed and said, "You're from the Ming family, huh? The Ming family specializes in selling all kinds of spiritual herbs. Aren't you afraid we'll rob your family of their products if you say that?"

Ming Jingchen laughed and said, "Go ahead and rob us. Qingyu Flower is a specialty of the Mangshan Mountains. It's not like I'm the only one who knows about it. That thing only blooms for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. If you don't pick it, it's gone."

Several cultivators who wanted to pick the Green Rain Flower quickly formed a team and headed into the mountains.

Ming Jingchen led the way, saying as he walked, "You all have to be careful. The Green Rain Flower grows in damp, mossy places, and there's often a small green snake that appears in these areas. Don't blame me if it bites you."
