This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, and all the images disappeared.

It turns out that everything just now was just an illusion.

What invincible, what divine sword? It's all an illusion.

A sudden pang of unease gripped Qingfeng's heart.

Even with his primordial spirit cultivation, he was still able to fall victim to the Dao; he couldn't imagine just how terrifying the enemy in the shadows must be.

After all, those who cultivate Taoism value their state of mind the most, and they spend many years in quiet meditation, making their primordial spirit far stronger than that of martial artists.

Even those who have just entered the Martial God Realm may not be able to compare to Qingfeng's soul.

Yet he was still completely unaware that he was under the influence of the illusion, barely able to retain a sliver of his consciousness.

Moreover, without the guidance of his mentor, Qingfeng would have been very likely to have completely succumbed to temptation and lost himself.

"Thank you, Master..."

Qingfeng bowed to the void and said.

Although Li Daoxuan never showed his face, Qingfeng knew that his master was definitely watching him.

Thinking of this, Qingfeng felt more confident.

With his master around, he had nothing to fear.

After the illusion disappeared, the world before my eyes seemed to have changed drastically.

All the yellow sand disappeared, and instead, a small path made of some unknown material appeared underfoot.

On both sides of the road was a vast expanse of water, calm and still, like a mirror.

Qingfeng knew at a glance that this water was no ordinary water, but was formed from extremely concentrated sword energy.

It appears calm and still, but once any foreign object enters it, it will be instantly pulverized, leaving not a trace.

Qingfeng carefully sat on the 'Spring Breeze' sword and slowly flew forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the road finally came to an end.

At the end of the road is a small island, less than a mile in circumference.

In the center of the island is a pool about ten feet in diameter. Looking at the pool, Qingfeng felt a sudden burst of inspiration.

Having been in this strange world for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of something different.

It was a vibrant, lush green.

A lotus leaf the size of a palm-leaf fan, and a vibrant lotus seedpod.

"There are actually green plants here..."

Qingfeng found it hard to believe.

Riding the "Spring Breeze" sword to the edge of the island, Qingfeng did not rush to go up.

Who knows if there are any traps on this island?

Just to be on the safe side, Qingfeng took out a Crimson Spirit Coin and threw it over.

The spirit coin rolled rapidly on the ground before finally falling into the pool and disappearing.

No danger was detected from beginning to end.

Qingfeng's primordial spirit did not sense anything unusual.

"Is there really no danger?"

Qingfeng was still worried, so he even consulted a fortune teller.

However, the hexagram is unclear.

Qingfeng immediately realized that it wasn't that the outcome of good or bad fortune on this small island was unclear, but rather that the island's owner was of such a high status that he had influenced the karmic order of the heavens, making it impossible for him to predict the clearest fortune or misfortune with his cultivation level.

Even so, Qingfeng had basically reached a conclusion in his heart.

He trusted his intuition; even if there was danger in this place, it probably wouldn't kill him.

Once he made up his mind, Qingfeng no longer hesitated.

He rode the "Spring Breeze" sword and drifted over.

Of course, some precautions should still be taken.

However, after he landed on the island, nothing had changed.

The only difference was that he could sense the presence of spiritual energy on this island.

But once you leave the island, it returns to its previous state.

It seems that the island has some kind of force field that can trap those spiritual energies, preventing them from leaving.

Qingfeng felt a sense of relief and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I started trying to breathe naturally.

Only after confirming there was no danger did he relax and begin to breathe.

This was the first time he had breathed normally since he was teleported to the desolate region.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here seems to be more active than that outside, full of abundant vitality.

Not only could it quickly restore his physical condition, but it also seemed to suppress the death aura emanating from him.

"This spiritual energy... seems a bit different..."

Qingfeng glanced at his legs in surprise. The tangled death energy clearly showed a fear of spiritual energy and dared not continue to spread upwards.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the lotus seedpod and leaves growing in the pond, and Qingfeng immediately realized that the spiritual energy was emanating from the lotus seedpod.

Qingfeng cautiously approached and indeed found that the spiritual energy was significantly denser closer to the lotus seedpod.

Just as he was about to calmly refine the spiritual energy, it suddenly began to weaken and disappeared without a trace after a few breaths.

Qingfeng was taken aback, not understanding why.

"What's going on?"

After circling the lotus seedpod, I could no longer sense any spiritual energy.

"Could it be that the lotus seedpod's absorption and release of spiritual energy has a time cycle?"

Just as Qingfeng was racking his brains trying to figure it out, he suddenly saw the Crimson Spirit Coin that he had just thrown into the pool.

However, by this time, the Crimson Spirit Coin had already lost its color and turned into a grayish-white stone, and its size had also shrunk considerably, obviously due to the exhaustion of the spiritual energy within the Crimson Spirit Coin.

A flash of inspiration struck Qingfeng.

"Could it be... that spiritual energy was generated because of the Crimson Spirit Coins I invested?"

Thinking of this, Qingfeng immediately took out another Crimson Spirit Coin and threw it down without a second thought.

After all, compared to the magical spiritual energy just now, a single Crimson Spirit Coin is simply insignificant.

The moment the Crimson Spirit Coin entered the water, Qingfeng indeed noticed that the lotus seedpod swayed very slightly.

Then that magical spiritual energy was released again.

Qingfeng was overjoyed and immediately used his internal energy to absorb and refine the energy to suppress the deathly aura.

About ten breaths later, the spiritual energy disappeared again.

The breeze stopped, and looking at its own legs, it muttered to itself:

"At this rate, this wisp of death energy can be completely eliminated... Let's try again."

This time, Qingfeng took out all the spirit crystals he had on him.

There are red spirit crystals that are made into spirit crystal coins, as well as yellow and white spirit crystals of higher quality.

As for the golden spirit crystal, Qingfeng didn't...

To maximize the effect, Qingfeng kept only one white spirit crystal as a backup plan, and then threw all the other spirit crystals into the pool.

When the splashing water dissipated into the air, Qingfeng realized that the water in the pool was actually condensed sword energy.

It was even purer and more advanced than the sword energy outside the island.

There was no immediate change after the pile of spirit crystals was thrown in.

After waiting for about ten breaths, the lush green lotus pods and leaves suddenly began to move.

Immediately afterwards, an even more concentrated burst of spiritual energy erupted.

Qingfeng was overjoyed. He was certain that if he refined all of this spiritual energy, the death energy within his body would most likely be completely eliminated.

Although his lower body was still a pile of rotting flesh after the death energy was cleared, with his cultivation level and various elixirs, he could fully recover in no time as long as he recuperated slowly.

However, just as Qingfeng was about to begin absorbing and refining it, a sudden change occurred.

The dense spiritual energy that had been dissipating began to flow backward and was then completely absorbed by the lotus seedpod.

Qingfeng stared at the scene for a moment, then suppressed his feelings of regret.

Looking at the lotus seedpod, his eyes were full of anticipation.
