Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

This time of alchemy almost exhausted Xiao Lin's spiritual energy.

Fortunately, when he was meditating, he found that his cultivation speed was several times faster than usual.

So that's how it is. Although alchemy consumes all your spiritual energy, it can increase the speed of spiritual energy recovery.

So Xiao Lin started a new round of practice to restore his spiritual power. Sure enough, after refining the elixir, his practice would be twice as effective with half the effort.

After his spiritual power recovered, he started to refine the elixir again. This time, the spiritual power consumption did not exceed 50%.

Xiao Lin discovered that the more times he refined the elixir, the less spiritual power he consumed and the time taken to refine it would be greatly shortened.

However, he now only refines ten furnaces of pills every day.

Qi Wu Yue warned him that in order to achieve long-term development, those below the Vein Condensation Stage should not use up their spiritual energy more than five times a day.

Xiao Lin has refined the last batch of pills. He can now produce up to three soul-collecting pills from one batch.

Qi Wu Yue was filled with emotion: "I can finally leave here. I have stayed here for a long time. But before I leave——"

There is another important thing: when a goose passes by, not a single feather is left.

The spiritual energy of the Hanling Pond comes from a thousand-year-old piece of ice at the bottom of the pond, which is a natural freezer.

It can freeze medicinal materials to preserve their medicinal properties and keep their spiritual energy inexhaustible.

The hunted monsters can be frozen and stored for easy eating, and can also be sold at a good price as they are fresh.

Even the water from the Hanlingtan was not spared and was absorbed by the spiritual spring in the mustard seed ring.

Even capitalists would cry when they saw it.

However, the Mustard Seed Ringwraith felt very relieved as he stroked his non-existent beard: Not bad, not bad, the future (money) is bright.

At the bottom of the cliff where they fell was a monster forest, and inside the monster forest, there were many kinds of herbs and spiritual plants, and they were of good age.

Xiao Lin encountered many surprises along the way and gained a lot.

Ten-year-old blood-growing flower, hundred-year-old weeping spirit grass, ghost rehmannia root, black hanging vine...

One, two, three... There are so many century-old poisonous plants. Those that are more than ten years old are picked and those that are younger are left behind.

Xiao Lin used a special inherited method to pick medicinal herbs without damaging their roots and rhizomes, and then froze the picked herbs next to a thousand-year-old ice soul to retain their maximum medicinal properties.

Of course, there are many spiritual plants and monsters inside the Monster Forest.

A fifth-level monster rushed out, and Qi Wu Yue's eyes lit up: "Brother, don't pick it, it's time to live!"

This monster is perfect for Xiao Lin to practice on, as his realm has not yet stabilized completely since he broke through to the fifth level.

If he encountered a monster with strength similar to Xiao Lin's, he would leave it to him to practice. If he encountered a monster that was too powerful and much higher in level than him, Qi Wu Yue would beat it half to death with one palm and then throw it to him.

Too many monsters and not enough spiritual power?

Don't panic, take the pills.

Xiao Lin's next daily routine is:

Hunting monsters,

Take pills,

Kill the monsters,

Take pills,

Kill the monsters,

Take pills,

Kill, kill, kill.

Knock knock knock

……

Xiao Lin was killing monsters in front to hone himself, while Qi Wu Yue was slowly following behind to pick up the items.

The fifth-level Cloud-Swallowing Ox, the sixth-level Swift-Sound Leopard, the seventh-level Red-Fire Pig… These monsters are of high grade and have delicious meat, which are suitable as food ingredients. They are frozen with Ice Soul and used as reserve food.

The spiritual power contained in the meat of those low-level monsters is far lower than that of high-level monsters, and they are not even qualified to be used as food.

Qi Wu Yue threw it into a random open space in the storage ring, planning to find a purchasing store to sell it after leaving the forest.

The freezing range of the Millennium Ice Soul can cover a thousand meters away. Along the way, a pile of monster meat was frozen in the storage ring. Even if the cultivator's appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people, it would be enough to eat for several years.

Some monster beasts’ elixir cores are precious, and some monster beasts’ skins, bones, or claws are excellent materials for refining weapons. It is too troublesome to deal with these monster beasts individually.

Qi Wu Yue used the same method to deal with the previous low-level monsters and threw them directly into a large open space in the mustard seed ring.

In order to save space, monks who specialize in hunting monsters will take the most valuable parts of the monsters and put them into storage bags, and throw away the rest of the worthless parts.

But what Qi Wu Yue and his companions had the most was space. The mustard seed ring had more than 2,000 cubic meters of space, comparable to a luxurious courtyard.

Along the way, there was a fight with exploding spiritual power in front, and the clear sound of silver bells behind.

The corpses of monsters in the mustard seed ring piled up like a mountain, but fortunately the space in the mustard seed ring was large enough.

Of course, Xiao Lin's strength was also growing wildly. Not only did he consolidate his realm, he also broke through to the late fifth level and was only one step away from the sixth level.

Qingfeng Mountains, somewhere deep in the Monster Forest.

"I told you not to follow us, but now you're just holding us back."

"What do you mean by holding you back? You think you're a big shot. People who don't know you would think you're so capable!"

"Alright! Stop arguing. You keep whining. When the monsters come, they run behind me faster and faster than the other."

"I admit that I'm a loser, but who is he? He's a loser and yet he's trying to act so arrogant!"

"You should also stop talking. Master Lin, I brought Xiaotian here, so naturally I am responsible for his safety, so don't say anything like you will be implicated."

There were four people in the group, three men and one woman, arguing fiercely.

The man called Master Lin had a gloomy face and said, "If you hadn't slowed us down, how could we be chased by the Golden Armored Lion King?"

The baby-faced boy sneered, "If you hadn't coveted the Lion King's treasures, you wouldn't have been discovered, and you wouldn't have been hunted down and put your life on the line."

Master Lin was furious: "I didn't want to provoke the Lion King in the first place. If you hadn't been looking for medicine for your useless brother, I would never have set foot in that valley!"

“Who are you calling a waste?!” The baby-faced boy’s eyes instantly turned red like a mad animal.

The young man in blue was also immediately displeased: "Mr. Lin, please respect yourself."

The only woman among the four people protected the baby-faced boy behind her and shouted:

"Shut up, Mr. Lin! Don't you have a magic weapon that can speed you up? Since you think Xiaotian is holding you back, then you should leave first. The Golden Armored Lion King is terrifying, but its speed is average. You have the bonus of a magic weapon, so it won't be able to catch up with you."

Although Master Lin looked unhappy, he didn't say anything else.

He just looked at the other people with a gloomy look.

Although he had the sprint boots that could help him shake off the Golden Armored Lion King, the Qingfeng Mountains were filled with dangers. If he shook off these people and left first, he might not be able to guarantee that he would encounter any other powerful monsters.

There are many monsters in the depths of this mountain range that are stronger and faster than the Golden Armored Lion King. By then, he will be alone without even anyone to take over his life.

But if he followed these people, even if the Lion King caught up with him, he had his sprint boots on and the Lion King would eat them first, so he would have just enough time to escape.

It would be better if the lion king didn't catch up with him, but with these people by his side, it would be a life-saving talisman if he encountered any danger.

Master Lin looked at the person in front of him, thinking of using him as a scapegoat, and slowly opened his mouth to sneer.

Becoming this young master's scapegoat is a worthy death for you.
