Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

"Wu Xing, you've finally spoken," Li Mu replied.

"How dare I utter a sound before? These four are too powerful! If they had discovered that I am not a being of the Five Elements, they would have surely captured me."

"That's what the Boundless Gold-Eating Armadillo said."

"Well, they're all big shots in the Immortal Realm. If they capture you, wouldn't you be able to return to the Immortal Realm with them?"

"Take me back to the Immortal Realm? Hmph! You think too highly of them! They will destroy my physical body, refine my primordial soul, extract the essence of my non-five elements primordial soul, and then absorb the essence of my non-five elements primordial soul into their own primordial soul. In this way, their primordial soul will possess certain non-five elements attributes."

"Holy crap! That's so cruel?"

"This is the consistent practice of the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm towards us beings who are not of the Five Elements. My clansmen are almost extinct because they were killed by those powerful beings. Their method of slaughter makes it very easy for us beings who are not of the Five Elements to become completely extinct, because our primordial souls don't even have the chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation. In the end, we beings who are not of the Five Elements are becoming fewer and fewer, and we are becoming more and more precious in the eyes of the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm."

Wu Xing said.

"I see. No wonder you fell silent as soon as you saw those four. But don't worry now, they've sworn a soul oath to me and won't dare to harm you," Li Mu said.

"Yes, it was because I saw that they made a soul oath to you that I contacted you telepathically."

"Do these powerful immortals slaughter you non-Five Elements beings just to imbue their primordial souls with certain non-Five Elements attributes?"

"Yes, because non-Five Elements attributes provide absolute defense against all Five Elements attribute supernatural powers and spells. If powerful beings in the Immortal Realm possess a certain amount of non-Five Elements attributes in their primordial souls, it will greatly enhance their overall combat power! However, the biggest reason why powerful beings are so eager for non-Five Elements primordial soul attributes is to overcome tribulations. Using non-Five Elements supernatural powers and spells to resist heavenly tribulations is the most effective method. Those transcendent beings who are almost at the pinnacle of the universe are rarely threatened by anything except the terrifying heavenly tribulations. So, think about it, in order to effectively resist heavenly tribulations, if they discover us non-Five Elements beings, they will seize us at all costs," Wuxing said.

"So that's how it is. Damn, so if they know I possess non-elemental spiritual energy and soul power, will they try to refine my soul too?!"

Li Mu suddenly asked in alarm.

Although these four evil Taoist cultivators made a soul oath to him, who can know whether they have heaven-defying means to break the soul oath?

If that's the case, once they're brought out of this sealed secret realm, they'll definitely betray Li Mu and kill him.

"Don't worry, you're not a being outside the Five Elements. Although you received non-Five Elements cultivation methods from me, your primordial soul and essence don't contain non-Five Elements source essence. Your non-Five Elements spiritual energy and soul power weren't innate; they were acquired through cultivation. Even if they refine your soul, it won't be of any use. Besides, based on my assessment of their strength, they aren't powerful enough to violate their soul oaths," Wuxing said.

"Yes, that puts my mind at ease. Indeed, if they could obtain the non-Five Elements Yuan Soul Essence from me, they wouldn't have made a soul oath with me, and there would be no need for me to help them escape this sealed land. Because if they could obtain non-Five Elements Yuan Soul attributes from me through soul refining, they could resist that so-called Nine Purple Heavenly Fiend Qi on their own."

Li Mu nodded and said.

"That's exactly right."

At this moment, Li Mu and Wu Xing were communicating through soul transmission, which the four Dao cultivators did not hear.

Because they were busy planning a joint supernatural power, they had no interest in eavesdropping on their conversation.

hum!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the four Daoist cultivators raised their hands simultaneously, and powerful spiritual energy erupted from the center of their eight palms.

The eight streams of spiritual energy instantly merged into one, transforming into a pale purple pillar of light as thick as an arm that shot into the sky.

call out!

Rumble!

With a muffled roar, the beam of light actually pierced through a spatial tunnel several meters in diameter above the secret chamber!

The tunnel was filled with surging spiritual energy, its end invisible to the naked eye, and even a spiritual probe could only find a deep, hazy void.

Whoohoo!

Then, a strong metallic aura gushed out from this spatial tunnel.

"Mmm! Such a rich and delicious metallic aroma! This metal is not only extremely pure, but also of a very high grade! It's definitely at the high-level of the Spirit Realm! Li Mu, you must collect as much as possible later! This metal is much more valuable than top-grade spirit stones!"

Upon sensing the rich metallic aura, the Wuxing Devouring Gold Armadillo was overjoyed.

He could certainly collect it himself, but it would be best if he could avoid being exposed at this time.

"Holy crap! Spirit-grade metal?! This is the first time I've ever seen spirit-grade metal! Tsk tsk, who would use so much spirit-grade metal to create such a bizarre seal? And how powerful must the beings that sealed these four powerful Daoist cultivators be?"

Li Mu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Li Mu! The passage has been opened! Please follow us inside!"

At this moment, the beautiful Daoist cultivator stood up and said to Li Mu.

Whoosh!

At the same time, she made a gesture with one hand in front of her, and a pale yellow light shield immediately enveloped the five of them.

call!

Then, under the control of the beautiful Daoist, the five people were enveloped in a yellow light shield and transformed into a stream of light, rushing into the space tunnel.

Once inside the tunnel, Li Mu did not hesitate to try to collect the metal from the tunnel walls.

Yes, this passage that looks like a space tunnel is actually a passage carved out of a metal barrier.

Upon entering, Li Mu's soul sense was able to clearly detect that the walls of the passage were entirely made of precious metals.

call!

Click click click!

However, just as Li Mu was about to collect the metal, his ability to collect it was blocked by the beautiful Daoist's light barrier, making it impossible for him to collect it.

"Um... senior, the metal in this passage is extremely precious! I would like to collect some. Could you please remove the protective barrier's shielding power?"

Li Mu said to the beautiful Daoist cultivator.

"They're just some low-grade spirit-level metals, what kind of treasure are they?"

The skinny Daoist looked at Li Mu with disdain and said.

"Well, these metals may seem low-grade to the older generation, but they're treasures to me!"

Li Mu responded.

At the same time, he was secretly amazed that such a powerful spirit-grade metal was being called low-end.

There's no way around it; strength determines one's perception. It's like how an ordinary person would be amazed by a common pill and think it's a divine elixir.

call!

The beautiful Daoist cultivator didn't speak, but simply raised her hand and tapped the light barrier. Then she looked at Li Mu and said, "I won't stop or slow down for you. Hurry up and collect as much as you can."

It turned out that the beautiful Daoist cultivator had indeed removed the protective shield's insulating power.

Li Mu was overjoyed and immediately began to collect all the precious metals outside.

On the road: Dear readers, I was originally planning to resume three updates a day after work, but unfortunately, my herniated disc flared up again, so I can only write on my phone from bed, with two updates a day being my limit. I will definitely resume three updates a day once I recover. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement!
