Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

This is your treasure trove for discovering the best Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novels.

Jiang Shi and the other two retreated, not wanting to become enemies with Feng Yiran for the time being.

However, Jiang Shi, Xuan Yuan Yi, and Fang Jiu Yue were unwilling to give up this marrow-cleansing spring.

Although they retreated, they did not go far.

Xuanyuan Yi needs to use this Marrow Cleansing Spring to repair himself; this is something he cannot back down from.

At most, let Feng Yiran use the Marrow Cleansing Spring first, and then they can use it later.

An hour passed, and Feng Yiran was still not emerging from the marrow-cleansing spiritual spring. Jiang Shi and the others gradually noticed something was wrong.

The spiritual energy of this Marrow Cleansing Spring is actually decreasing!

"What exactly is Feng Yiran doing in there?" Xuan Yuan Yi asked.

If it were just ordinary cultivation, how could the spiritual energy of the Marrow Cleansing Spring be reduced so much?

This made Jiang Shi and the others restless. If Feng Yiran continued like this, it would be useless for them to cultivate in the Marrow Cleansing Spring.

What Jiang Shi and the others didn't know was that the spiritual energy in the Marrow Cleansing Spring was not limitless.

If too much is consumed at once, causing the Cleansing Spring to lose its spiritual essence, then it will take time to recover.

It typically takes about a month for the system to automatically repair itself.

Jiang Shi, Xuan Yuan Yi, and Fang Jiu Yue were visiting the Marrow Cleansing Spring for the first time and were unaware of this matter.

Even if they didn't know it, they realized something was wrong at this point.

"We can't let him continue like this!" Jiang Shi said in a deep voice.

Xuan Yuan Yi desperately needed the Marrow Cleansing Spring, and Jiang Shi, as his teammate, naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the spring fail.

Previously, Xuan Yuan Yi had fought so hard that he was physically weak, but he used a secret technique to help Jiang Shi obtain the Crimson Spirit Feather.

Xuanyuan Yi needs this Marrow Cleansing Spring to regulate the hidden dangers caused by breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, so Jiang Shi should naturally help.

Xuan Yuan Yi and Fang Jiu Yue also agreed with Jiang Shi's idea.

If we give in this time, will we have to back down again when we encounter a similar situation in the second level of the fire-elemental secret realm?

This fire-elemental secret realm only has three levels. If we give way this time, the later levels will be even more difficult.

If they only give in, is there any point in the three of them working together?

The path of cultivating immortality is inherently about contending with Heaven, Earth, and humanity!

No matter how powerful Feng Yiran is, there are still three of them present.

The three of them working together are not afraid of anyone below the Golden Core stage, not even Feng Yiran, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Taihua Sword Sect, one of the ten major sects!

With that in mind, Jiang Shi led Xuan Yuan Yi and Fang Jiu Yue forward.

Fang Jiuyue looked at Jiang Shi with great admiration from behind.

"I knew I wasn't wrong," Fang Jiuyue thought to herself.

She deliberately befriended Jiang Shi and Xuan Yuan Yi because she valued their ruthlessness and the fact that they were not heartless people.

In retrospect, it was the right choice for her to befriend Jiang Shi and his group back then.

As for Feng Yiran, who would offend the Taihua Sword Sect, one of the ten major sects, by taking action.

Fang Jiuyue was not afraid. She was also a top-tier power, although the Fang family was much weaker than the Taihua Sword Sect.

However, the Taihua Sword Sect is not a one-man show by Feng Yiran.

Even though Feng Yiran is extremely powerful, he can be considered the number one Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

But now there are three of them present, so in a three-on-one situation, the outcome is still uncertain.

"Brother Feng, we've already given you an hour to use the Marrow Cleansing Spring. It's time for us to use it," Jiang Shi said in a deep voice.

"You're courting death!" Feng Yiran stepped out of the Marrow Cleansing Spring.

A surge of sword intent burst forth, reaching the heavens.

Feng Yiran stretched out a finger and pointed it at the river stone from afar.

With this gesture, the surrounding fire elemental energy ceased, forced back by the sword energy.

Jiang Shi felt as if someone in the heavens above, like an immortal, had struck him with a sword!

Jiang Shi had no time to think. The silver flying sword automatically emerged from his body, and his body reacted naturally as he drew the sword to counterattack.

Sixteen sword beams shot out, containing the divine light of Geng metal.

It collided with the sword energy emitted from Feng Yiran's fingertip.

Jiang Shi's sixteen sword lights, even though they contained Gengjin divine light, were as fragile as paper and were instantly disintegrated by Feng Yiran!

After the sword energy broke through Jiang Shi's sixteen sword energies, it weakened slightly but did not disappear and continued to attack Jiang Shi.

With just one simple move, Jiang Shi knew that this person's strength was terrifyingly powerful, and Jiang Shi was no match for him at all.

If Jiang Shi were to be struck by that sword energy, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

At this critical moment, two high-grade magic mirrors flew over. One was a dark gold mirror, from which golden light shot out and collided with the sword energy.

Another brown treasure, with thick soil flying out, firmly blocked Jiang Shi's path.

Jiang Shi also reacted, raising a golden shield in front of him and using the Five Elements Mutual Generation True Meaning to increase his defense.

"Bang!" A sound of impact rang out!

Feng Yiran's sword energy disappeared, blocked by Jiang Shi and Fang Jiuyue working together.

"You actually managed to block my Xuan Tian Sword Finger? It seems I underestimated you," Feng Yiran said.

She knew that Jiang Shi was definitely not from a top-tier powerful organization, which is why she explained it that way.

A sword aura required Jiang Shi and Fang Jiuyue to work together to block it.

As expected of a mid-level Heavenly Grade spell!

This Xuan Tian Sword Finger is truly terrifying!

However, even so, Jiang Shi was not afraid!

"Take my sword too!" Jiang Shi naturally wouldn't wait patiently for his opponent to draw his sword; he took the initiative and slashed with his sword.

The Gengjin Divine Light transformed into sixteen sword lights that flew out, and it also drew in the surrounding fire spiritual energy, transforming it into metal spiritual energy to aid Jiang Shi's sword light!

These sixteen sword lights intertwined, forming a star array, and charged towards Feng Yiran.

"The true meaning of the Five Elements, sword light transforming into an array? Interesting!" Feng Yiran saw through the key point of Jiang Shi's move at a glance.

Feng Yiran is a traditional sword cultivator who has been refining the sword for many years, so he can naturally discover the shortcomings of Jiang Shi's swordsmanship.

Feng Yiran, instead of retreating, advanced, his figure transforming into a giant sword, and charged into Jiang Shi's formation.

Then, just like Jiang Shi broke the "Sparkling Wilderness Formation" back then, Feng Yiran easily broke Jiang Shi's sword light formation.

"You haven't spent enough time refining the Silver Light Flying Sword; the sword light isn't solid enough!" Feng Yiran commented.

Originally, Feng Yiran still had some killing intent, but since he failed to kill his opponent in one move, his killing intent dissipated.

I still have the mind to comment on Jiang Shi's swordsmanship.

"That's not how you use a sword." Feng Yiran shook his head, then pointed at Jiang Shi and the others.

Another Xuan Tian Sword Finger strike, but unlike Jiang Shi's swordplay, Feng Yiran's sword light had transformed into sword energy, containing a sharp sword intent.

Jiang Shi's sword light was merely an imitation of Gengjin Divine Light, and contained no sword intent whatsoever.

This time, although Feng Yiran's sword energy was powerful, Fang Jiuyue discovered a problem.

"He has no sword!" Fang Jiuyue transmitted her voice to Jiang Shi and Xuan Yuan Yi.
