"You wretched bitch, die!"

Upon seeing his companion killed, the cultivator in charge of fishing immediately brandished a mid-grade magic weapon, a longsword, and attacked from behind Su Chun.

Su Chun acted too quickly; by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Humph!"

Su Chun was naturally wary of this guy, as he was the strongest among them.

"You're the only one left."

The Moonlit Silk wrapped around Su Chun flew out and struck the male cultivator.

The two attacks collided, and the male cultivator coughed up blood and flew backward.

"Damn it."

The male cultivator's expression changed, and he turned to run away, but Su Chun once again controlled the Moonlit Silk to entangle him, not giving him a chance to breathe, and tightened it forcefully.

The male cultivator was strangled so badly that blood gushed out, and his bones and internal organs were crushed.

When cultivators are evenly matched in a battle, the strength of their cultivation techniques becomes the deciding factor, but the strength of the techniques only accounts for about 30% of the battle; the power of the magical treasures plays a much larger role.

If a Qi Refining cultivator cannot surpass Su Chun in terms of magical treasures, then he will die before he can last three moves against Su Chun.

"vomit!"

After Su Chun released the guy, the horrific state of his body made Su Chun vomit on the spot.

There was no way around it; the way he died was just too disgusting. His body was twisted into a pretzel.

She quickly collected the storage items of the group and burned their bodies to ashes.

"Hmph! The struggles in the cultivation world have always been a matter of life and death."

After confirming that there were no other dangers around, Su Chun quickly took out a bottle and filled it with cleansing liquid from the pool.

If this product is taken directly, it can only be used once; it will have no effect after a second use.

However, if it is refined into a Cleansing Spirit Pill, it can be used ten times.

Therefore, Su Chun naturally planned to take this item back, refine it into a Spirit Cleansing Pill, and then use it. One bottle would be enough; any more would be a waste.

Just as Su Chun filled a bottle with the Cleansing Elixir and was preparing to collect medicinal herbs by the pool, a strong sense of crisis arose in her heart.

Suddenly, the pool erupted in chaos, and chains formed from water emerged, binding Su Chun and dragging her into the pool.

"Damn it, is there an ambush in the water?"

Chapter 21 The Struggle for Opportunity

After being dragged into the Cleansing Spring, Su Chun immediately struggled desperately, but the water binding technique that bound her was far too powerful, far exceeding her current level.

She couldn't even sense who attacked her; she couldn't see anyone around her, and it was as if the attacker had completely merged into the water.

"Who is it? Who is plotting against me? This power is clearly beyond the Qi Refining stage."

Su Chun was extremely anxious. If this continued, she feared she would drown in the Cleansing Spirit Spring.

The chains binding her tightened, and one of them even strangled her neck, accelerating her suffocation.

At the same time, this force even restricted the flow of power within her body, preventing her from using her trump cards to deal with the situation.

The scent of death began to spread in her heart.

"No, I can't worry about that anymore."

The will to survive made Su Chun instinctively activate the jade pendant that Xiao Mei had given her. Unlike other treasures, this jade pendant was hidden in Su Chun's sea of ​​consciousness. Su Chun only needed a thought to activate the jade pendant.

As the jade pendant was activated, a large number of pink petals erupted from Su Chun's brow. The pink petals immediately adhered to Su Chun's body, instantly erasing the chains that bound her.

The restraints on her body were dispelled by Xiao Mei's power, and Su Chunyin vaguely saw a figure in the water. Although it was not very obvious, it should be a woman. After the woman entangled with the flower petals for a while, she let out a cold snort and disappeared.

The flower petals also helped Su Chun pull her out of the pool.

"You're using the spiritual jade tablet I gave you so soon?"

After the restraints were lifted, the petals detached from Su Chun's body and gathered together, transforming into the shape of Xiao Mei.

After landing, Su Chun immediately lay on the ground and began to dry heave, vomiting a large amount of cleansing liquid from her mouth and nose, as if she had drunk her fill.

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave outside Lingyuan Blessed Land.

A woman dressed in a moon-white dress, with a cold expression, slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiao Mei? It was her? Why would she help Ding Yuqin? This little girl is really lucky. She failed to kill her in both of her plans. Did she anticipate my move and go to Xiao Mei beforehand?"

The woman couldn't help but lower her head and mutter to herself.

After lying on the ground for a while to recover, Su Chun looked at Xiao Mei.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao. Uncle, do you know who attacked me just now? The other party's cultivation level must have exceeded the Foundation Establishment stage. I couldn't sense her presence at all."

Xiao Mei's divine consciousness glanced in a certain direction and then gave Su Chun a knowing look.

Su Chun knew immediately from that look in his eyes that someone was secretly trying to kill her.

If Su Chun couldn't determine who leaked Ding Yuqin's whereabouts back then, she could be absolutely certain after today's incident.

"Lou Miaoyin? What is your purpose in trying to harm me time and time again?"

Indeed, the person who secretly plotted against Su Chun was none other than Lou Miaoyin, the Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yue Sect.

The moment the Lingyuan Blessed Land opened, she sent a wisp of her divine consciousness into it to wait at the Spirit Cleansing Spring.

She had thought that it would be easy for a Nascent Soul cultivator like herself to deal with a Qi Refining cultivator, but she hadn't expected that Xiao Mei would leave a divine consciousness on Su Chun.

Xiao Mei's spiritual power was much stronger than hers, so she easily erased her spiritual body and saved Su Chun's life.

Otherwise, with the abilities Su Chun currently possesses, there would be no way she could have escaped this calamity.

"Alright, this part of my divine sense is about to disappear. From now on, if there are any more killing moves, then it's up to you to decide."

Xiao Mei didn't say anything more to Su Chun, and then disappeared again, turning into countless flower petals.

Su Chun probably never expected that the protective measures she obtained from Xiao Mei would be used up so easily.

"From now on, we can only rely on our own abilities to deal with potential crises. But, there probably aren't any other backup plans, right?"

Su Chun quickly collected all the medicinal herbs in the area that met the required age and prepared to head to the location of the Xuanhuang Fruit.

This Xuanhuang Fruit is far more precious than the Cleansing Spring; it would be a great treasure even in the entire Lingyuan Blessed Land.

Ding Yuqin glanced at it from afar back then, but because the place was guarded by third or fourth-tier demonic beasts, and not just one, and because her aptitude was not bad, she did not go to pick it.

Su Chun summoned his flying artifact and continued forward, witnessing numerous life-or-death battles along the way, each one incredibly brutal.

Because of her powerful spiritual sense, Su Chun could generally avoid people who were not deliberately concealing their presence or hiding somewhere to ambush them.

Looking outside, Core Formation cultivators from various sects were examining a map with many moving white dots on it.

This map is a distribution map of the Lingyuan Blessed Land. It is a treasure, and there are seven copies in total. The small white dots on it are the life marks of their own disciples.

Once this life mark is extinguished, it will turn into a small red dot, indicating the location where they fell.

Disciples from the seven factions have already begun to fall, and the locations of their deaths are all in the inner areas.

The area where the Xuanhuang Fruit is located is a dilapidated cluster of buildings.

Judging from the scale of this complex, it must have been the core area of ​​Lingyuan Shangren's cave dwelling.

The buildings here must have been incredibly beautiful when they were intact, but they are now extremely dilapidated. It's likely that the seven powerful factions fought and destroyed this area when they were vying for treasure.

There was once a fierce battle between more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators here, and the treasures have long been divided up by the Nascent Soul experts.

The remaining treasures in Lingyuan Blessed Land are all cultivation supplies needed by cultivators below the Core Formation stage.

This is why only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage are allowed to enter.

Qi Refining cultivators will find it somewhat challenging here, Foundation Establishment cultivators can basically do whatever they want, and Core Formation cultivators will face absolutely no danger.

Without restrictions, the opportunities here would probably have been completely exhausted long ago.

When Su Chun arrived outside the Lingyuan Ruins area where the Xuanhuang Fruit was located, she stopped again. She immediately used her divine sense to scan the area and found that many cultivators were stationed outside the ruins.

The majority of them are cultivators from the seven sects, whose cultivation levels are generally above the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

They all seemed to be waiting for something.

Looking inside the ruins, one can see many level-one demonic beasts moving about, as well as numerous level-two and level-three demonic beasts guarding them.

To reach the area where the Xuanhuang Fruit is located, one must at least break through the defenses of these demonic beasts, which is no easy task.

Su Chun's divine sense continued to penetrate deeper, and soon he saw a tree full of golden fruit in an open-air, dilapidated palace. The tree exuded a mysterious aura, which made people's mouths water.

"Mysterious Yellow Fruit? I didn't expect them to get ten this time. I remember Ding Yuqin only got three back then. It's a pity that these ten Mysterious Yellow Fruits are not fully ripe yet. They didn't attack. They probably wanted to wait until the Mysterious Yellow Fruits were more ripe before making a move, right?"

Su Chun made a guess in her mind.

Su Chun was considering whether to join forces with the people from the Xuan Yue Sect. The cultivators from the seven sects were not hiding; they were stationed in one area.

"So many people, but only ten Xuanhuang Fruits. How are we going to distribute them? Forget it, let's just hide them for now and wait until they're more ripe and have stronger medicinal effects before we try to snatch them."

Su Chun no longer intends to act with the people from the Xuan Yue Sect.

She didn't trust these people.

Soon it was evening.

Around 11 or 12 o'clock at night, the golden Xuanhuang fruit suddenly absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from all directions, making the fruit's aura even stronger.

This scene attracted everyone's attention.

"Fellow Daoists of the other six sects, I think that's enough. This fruit is already usable in medicine. Why don't we each pick one and take it back to refine the Xuanhuang Pill? The remaining three can be used according to our own abilities."

A male cultivator at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining from the Lingxu Sect took the initiative to communicate with the cultivators from the other six sects.

The Xuanhuang Fruit is the main ingredient of the Xuanhuang Pill; one fruit can easily be used to refine ten Xuanhuang Pills.

"Qingfeng Valley has no objection."

“My Xuan Guang Pavilion has no objection.”

Soon, apart from the Xuan Yue Sect, the Yu Jian Sect, and the Tian Dao Hall, the other four sects reached an agreement.

"Hmph! You wish! Your four families are the weakest. Why should you share the Xuanhuang Fruit with the three of us? I think the three of us should each have two, and the four of you should each have one. That would be fair."
