Chapter 316 Rewards to be Taken
Yunxi approached the irregular black stone and said with a smile:

“Li Chang has already been severely injured by me and kicked out of the secret realm by you. I don’t think he will have a good ending. Please keep your promise.”

A streak of light flashed across the black stone, and a moment later, the immortal spirit transmitted its voice:
"Master, the spirit realm is now sending us to the location of the spiritual vein, and this immortal herb will be responsible for collecting it."

Yunxi nodded and looked at the black stone in front of her, saying:
"The evil cultivators have their eyes on this secret realm. I hope you hide yourself well. You won't always be so lucky."

The black stone flashed with light once more, and the celestial spirit transmitted its voice:

“Master, why don’t you integrate this secret realm into your space? That way, even evil cultivators won’t be able to covet it, and your space will also grow stronger.”

Yunxi rejected it very decisively:

"This secret realm has already developed its own consciousness. It may not be willing to become my subordinate. My space is definitely under my control. If I forcibly merge with the secret realm, wouldn't I be the same as the evil cultivator? I've just torn up a fig leaf to protect the secret realm for myself."

I only do what I should and can do. I try to avoid getting involved in these troublesome things. Besides, one shouldn't be too greedy. Including the two spiritual veins you took before, I've obtained four spiritual veins on this trip to the secret realm. That should be enough for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. That's more than enough."

Yunxi has a very open-minded view. Everyone has desires, but it is very important to know how to control one's desires.

After hearing Yunxi's words, Xianling replied with some regret:
"Alright! Since Master has made his decision, I will not interfere. I made this suggestion because the Spirit Realm is currently in a period of weakness. If Master has any ideas, the Spirit Realm can provide full assistance."

Yunxi immediately understood that the fairy spirit was planning to take advantage of the weakened state of the realm spirit to help her, the master, eliminate the realm spirit and make her the new master of the secret realm. However, she did not want to do so.

Besides not wanting to amplify her own greed, it was also because this secret realm was already on the list in the spirit world, and if she really took it over, there would be endless trouble afterwards.

She only wanted to cultivate diligently, change her destiny, and forge her own path to immortality, rather than make enemies everywhere.

After reaching an agreement with the fairy spirit, Yunxi prepared to leave.

Just then, a streak of light flashed from the black stone, and a black cone-shaped object detached from its body and floated in front of Yunxi.

Yunxi didn't answer, but instead released her divine sense to examine it carefully. The immortal spirit then transmitted a message:

"Master, this is an extra gift from the spirit realm as a token of our gratitude."

"What is it?"

"This item is similar to a Boundary-Breaking Cone. It can break through any restriction, barrier, and spatial barrier. This is a unique property of Boundary Stones, which is somewhat heaven-defying. Therefore, it can only be used three times. Each use will consume one-third of the cone. Please use it with caution, Master."

“It’s really a good thing.”

Yunxi waved her sleeve and put it into her storage ring. At the same time, a spatial rift appeared beside her. Without hesitation, she stepped into the rift and disappeared into the space created by the spirit.

Yunxi activated her defenses as soon as she stepped into the crevice, showing no carelessness whatsoever. She didn't want to be caught off guard and capsize. However, the fairy spirit transmitted a message to her:
“Master, the Boundary-Breaking Cone is a gift from the Boundary Spirit to thank you for not forcibly erasing its consciousness. It was separated from its original body, so it is indeed very rare. You must keep it safe.”

Yunxi chuckled and said:
"You must have threatened the spirit, otherwise it wouldn't have harmed itself to thank me."

"Hehe! It's good that Master knows. But this is what you deserve. Not to mention that Master solved the problem of the Witch Clan, he also exposed the evil cultivator and even saved him from being refined. Master has done enough to deserve your thanks. I was just arguing with the Spirit of the Realm and explaining the facts to him."

Yunxi smiled, feeling that there was a lot of exaggeration in Xianling's "speaking the facts and reasoning".

As soon as the telepathic communication ended, Yunxi was back on solid ground. All she could see was darkness, and water was rapidly pressing down on her from all directions. She raised her hand to create an isolation barrier, then extended her divine sense to observe her surroundings. She found herself at the bottom of a lake, standing on a protruding rock.

The fairy spirit shook its leaf and transmitted its voice: "Master, there is a top-grade spiritual vein here."

"Okay, you show us the way to collect our payment."

"Yes."

Following the fairy's guidance, Yunxi arrived at a steep slope at the bottom of the lake. The place was unremarkable, with only a few moss-covered stones. Before Yunxi could ask any questions, the fairy floated over and quickly planted its roots in the moss.

The next moment, the fairy grass began to emit a continuous light, as if it was absorbing good things from the moss. The whole process only lasted for half an incense stick's time. After doing this, the fairy grass returned to Yunxi's hand with satisfaction.

After seeing what Xianling had done, Yunxi understood why she hadn't noticed when Xianling was taking over the spiritual vein of the Wu tribe; she was incredibly fast.

Just as Yunxi was about to leave, the lake water suddenly surged, as if something had stirred up the sand and stones at the bottom of the lake, making the water turbid and disturbing the other creatures living at the bottom of the lake.

Yunxi had already seen the culprit through her divine sense: a group of silver swordfish, numbering in the thousands, baring their gleaming teeth and swimming vigorously toward her.

"Tsk, these people are up to no good! This is probably their stronghold. We took the spiritual vein, and they came back to kill us."

Yunxi discovered that the leading silver swordfish was at the fourth rank, and most of the rest were at the third rank, indicating that they were well nourished by the spiritual veins at the bottom of the lake.

"Master, would you like to store some in my spatial storage?"

The immortal asked.

"What do you want to collect? My meridians were already damaged during my fight with Li Chang. If it weren't for the reward, I would have already gone to find a place to heal my injuries."

Without saying a word, Yunxi started diving upwards; there's no shame in running away at a time like this.

Three breaths later, Yunxi emerged from the water and hovered above the lake, only to find herself in an oasis in the heart of a desert.

At that moment, a silver light flashed, heading straight for Yunxi's ankle. She dodged the silver light with a swift movement, and then unleashed a wind blade that collided with the silver light. The sound of metal scraping against metal quickly reached her ears, and the silver light fell back into the lake. It was the fourth-tier Silver Swordfish leader.

After forcing the silver swordfish back into the lake, Yunxi flashed to the lakeside and quickly disappeared into the woods. Now was not the time to fight; she had only received half of the reward.

"Immortal Spirit, where is the next spiritual vein?"

Yunxi asked telepathically.

“Master, the spirit says it’s on the edge of this desert. We’d better finish this quickly, or you’ll be teleported back to where you started.”

Yunxi flashed away from the lake, leaving the silver swordfish churning in the water.

"Fairy Spirit, you said I would return to the valley I knew before, why?"

"This is a training ground for Golden Core cultivators. You cannot stay here for long once you advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

"I see. Then let's hurry up."

My darlings, I'm experiencing some writer's block today. I'll upload one more chapter once it's finished. Those of you who can't wait, take a break and read it tomorrow morning. Goodnight!
