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

Qingyang Venerable Saint decided to follow his disciple invisibly to see how she trained, and then summarize his findings upon her return.

Zhong Lingxin first went to the sect affairs hall to accept two tasks to collect firestones and flame fruits, and then headed towards the Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range.

Lele needs to devour more strange flames to advance, and Uncle Xuanyuan is also heading towards the Falling Phoenix Mountain Range with several little ones.

She walked very fast the whole way.

She knew that Uncle Xuanyuan was the kind of parent who spoiled the kids; no matter how much trouble the little ones caused, he would always cover for them.

This is not okay.

If we spoil the little ones and they develop a domineering and arrogant personality, what will become of them in the future?

Zhong Lingxin sent many messages to her friends along the way, telling them that they could act in self-defense, but they should be careful when hitting people. She told them not to kill those who didn't know who was behind them when there were many people around. They should find a place where no one would know and change their appearance before hitting them, so that the images of them dying would be sent back and cause a lot of trouble.

Qingyang Venerable Saint listened from the shadows, touched his nose, and thought to himself, "So my little disciple understands all the道理 (principles/reasons), and his hands are particularly ruthless."

Zhong Lingxin first went to Luofeng Town and bought some essential equipment for going into the mountains.

Wearing two sets of ice-cool coats feels like a cold breeze blowing on your body, helping to lower your temperature.

A fire jade hoe, specially designed for digging fire crystals.

A pair of Fire Jade gloves, specially designed for picking Flame Fruit.

Other essential items include Fire Poison Pills, Frost Array Plates, and Fire Jade Boxes.

Finally, there's the essential map.

The Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range is vast, spanning over a million miles. Although all cultivators aspire to reach the center of the mountain range, very few have actually ventured inside. Most remain on the outer perimeter, with only a small number making it into the inner perimeter.

Zhong Lingxin didn't plan to enter the inner circle; she only intended to wander around the few small volcanoes on the outer perimeter.

After entering Luofeng Town, she could vaguely sense the direction of her companions through her divine sense, indicating that they had already gone quite far.

Early the next morning, Zhong Lingxin thanked the invitations from several people who wanted to team up with her and set off alone towards the Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range.

As soon as she stepped into the foot of the mountain, Zhong Lingxin felt the temperature rise significantly.

As far as the eye can see, everything is lush and verdant, full of vibrant green plants.

Dozens of groups of cultivators walked into the mountains, chatting and laughing. Some were excitedly talking about what spiritual herbs they wanted to gather and what demonic beasts they wanted to hunt.

Zhong Lingxin kept a distance from these people, neither too close nor too far, and slowly walked into the mountains.

After traveling for three days, the number of people around gradually decreased, and only occasionally could one or two groups of cultivators be seen.

Everyone cautiously avoided each other.

To make it easier to go into the mountains, Zhong Lingxin changed into a black short-sleeved outfit.

This is the attire that most cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage would wear.

As for those at the Golden Core stage or above, their cultivation is high, their flight is fast, and they prefer flowing sleeves.

The territory before us has begun to appear to be occupied by second-tier monsters. Flame Rats, Flame Rabbits, and Fire Boars and Fire Wind Birds are frequently seen.

Many of the Qi Refining cultivators were fighting fiercely and seriously.

Zhong Lingxin continued walking forward, and her connection with her companions in her consciousness became even stronger.

She estimated that it would take about ten more days to catch up with her friends.

The further in you go, the higher the temperature gets, and some plants have already turned brown.

Ahead, a group of cultivators were encircling and fighting several fire oxen.

Zhong Lingxin glanced at it and decided to go around it.

As she was circling around, two fire bulls suddenly broke through the cultivators' encirclement and charged towards her.

Zhong Lingxin was depressed.

These two fire bulls were almost at the third level. Flames were shooting out from their two sharp front horns, and their blood-red eyes were glaring as they charged forward, panting heavily.

The rocks and trees were knocked over and tossed about by them.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Zhong Lingxin's side.

Without a second thought, Zhong Ling flew off the ground on her sword and launched two fire oxen to continue charging forward.

Two cultivators caught up with them.

One of them angrily cursed Zhong Lingxin: "Are you blind? I worked so hard to get these fire bulls in, and you let two of them escape."

Zhong Lingxin sneered. She knew it; these two fire oxen were released by them, and their target was her.

Seeing Zhong Lingxin's cold smile, another cultivator also sneered, "You lowly wench, compensate us for our ox."

Not far away, the cultivators who had been surrounding and killing the fire bulls quickly killed the fire bulls in the pen and all gathered around, angrily cursing Zhong Lingxin for letting their bulls escape.

Zhong Lingxin was too lazy to waste words, so she summoned the Soul-Slaying Sword and slashed at the leading male cultivator.

The leading male cultivator was delighted.

They saw Zhong Lingxin, a single female cultivator, approaching from afar and decided to rob her.

They were cultivators who made a living by robbing people in this area. They knew all too well that killing a herd of fire oxen would not earn them nearly as many spirit stones as robbing a single cultivator.

Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was going to take a detour, they panicked and released their two most powerful fire oxen to block her path.

They killed the fire bull as quickly as possible, and then surrounded and killed Zhong Lingxin.

But upon closer inspection, they changed their minds.

The young nun was quite young, but had a beautiful face, especially her eyes, which were dark and bright, like the stars in the sky.

And that tall figure, that fair skin.

The male cultivator in the lead wanted to capture Zhong Lingxin, first deflower her, and then sell her to a brothel, which would be worth a lot of spirit stones.

The leading male cultivator shouted, "Brothers, capture him alive..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a "clang".

The lead male cultivator's large ring-bladed sword broke.

The leading male cultivator was even happier; the female cultivator's sword was a fine magic weapon.

The other seven or eight monks also became excited.

This sword is excellent; it's far superior to the magical artifacts they possess.

Several cultivators roared and charged at Zhong Lingxin.

They were all clever; they all avoided the sword in Zhong Lingxin's hand and attacked her left hand instead.

Zhong Lingxin gave another cold laugh, gathered her strength in her left hand, and threw a punch at the incoming iron hammer.

The male cultivator wielding the iron hammer grinned maliciously and tilted the hammerhead slightly.

The brothers have been robbing people here for years and have long since assessed their prey.

A young female cultivator like Zhong Lingxin could provide them with plenty of entertainment and fetch a good price, so of course they couldn't afford to break her.

Judging from the punch that the female cultivator threw, she clearly didn't want her left hand anymore.

That won't do; both brothers are men who cherish and protect women.

The male cultivator wielding the iron hammer curled his left hand and reached for Zhong Lingxin's left hand.

His heart was on fire.

He captured the young female cultivator first, so according to the rules, it was his turn to go first.

He looked at the little female cultivator's fair little fist and carefully reached out to grab it, being careful not to hurt it, or they would waste their healing pills.

Zhong Lingxin felt extremely disgusted.

These male cultivators had extremely lewd eyes and were planning to capture me alive. Even a fool could guess what they were up to.

Enraged, Zhong Lingxin became even more ruthless, unleashing a powerful "skyrocket" attack that whistled through the air as it fiercely met the male cultivator's large hand.
