The beam of light collided with the black spiritual energy, making a deafening roar, and the air around it vibrated due to this force.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong roared, and the spiritual power in his heart surged out like a tide, turning into a tornado of fire and attacking the men of the man in black.

The fire tornado spun in the air, carrying a scorching breath, instantly sucking several of his men into it.

Those people screamed in fear, but there was nowhere to escape. The heat of the flames surrounded them and instantly turned them into a sea of ​​fire. The screams came one after another, making people shudder.

"You brat!" The man in black's face changed drastically, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he became furious.

He mobilized all his spiritual power and prepared to counterattack Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened when he saw this, and then he formed another seal. The spiritual power condensed into a sharp ice blade in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely at the man in black.

The ice blade drew a cold light in the air and went straight to the heart of the man in black.

"Go to hell!" the man in black roared, and the black spiritual power in his hand turned into a giant shield, trying to block Jiang Qiong's attack.

The ice blade collided with the giant shield with a deafening sound. The giant shield was instantly pierced by the ice blade. An incredible expression appeared on the face of the man in black. Then he was hit by the ice blade. Blood spurted out and the whole person was blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

The crowd around suddenly fell silent, all eyes focused on Jiang Qiong, as if they were watching an incredible performance.

Jiang Qiong's momentum reached its peak at this moment. His heart was full of confidence, as if the fear and anxiety just now had been thrown into the sky.

"Do you still want to continue?" Jiang Qiong looked coldly at the remaining men, his eyes as sharp as a sword.

Those men looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear. The power of the fire and ice blade just now made them feel extremely shocked.

Looking at Jiang Qiong's unflinching attitude, they felt a little hesitant.

"Don't be afraid! We are from the Black Gang and we must not retreat!" One of the men plucked up his courage and yelled at Jiang Qiong, trying to motivate the others.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong curled his lips slightly and sneered: "Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

He formed seals again, and his spiritual energy surged in the air, transforming into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight towards the subordinate.

Lightning flashed in the sky like an angry dragon, instantly surrounding the subordinate. With a deafening thunder, the man turned into a cloud of dust, without even being able to utter a scream.

"Come again!" Jiang Qiong's voice was like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

The remaining men were terrified and retreated one after another. However, the man in black struggled to stand up at this moment, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness: "You little brat, I will never let you go today!"

Jiang Qiong smiled coldly, his heart filled with fearlessness. He knew that he was no longer the weak and fearful person.

He mobilized all his spiritual power, ready to give the man in black the final blow.

"Go and end it all!" Jiang Qiong roared, and his spiritual power condensed into a huge ball of light in his hands, which he threw fiercely at the man in black.

The ball of light drew a dazzling arc in the air and headed straight for the man in black.

The man in black's face changed drastically and he tried to resist again, but he no longer had the strength to cast defensive spells.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the light ball completely swallowed the man in black. The surrounding air was instantly compressed, causing a strong explosion. The surrounding buildings also shook slightly under this force.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the man in black had disappeared without a trace, and only the remaining black spiritual power on the ground proved his existence.

The crowd around finally reacted and burst into warm applause and cheers.

Jiang Qiong stood there, full of strength and confidence, and swore to herself: "From now on, I must become stronger and protect myself!"

At this moment, the woman in green also walked out of the crowd, smiled slightly, and said with appreciation: "You did a good job."

Jiang Qiong felt warm in her heart and looked back at her, her heart full of gratitude and respect.

Jiang Qiong was slightly stunned, then showed a sincere smile: "Thank you for supporting me at this critical moment and giving me the courage to face all this.

You are truly my benefactor." He was grateful in his heart, with respect shining in his eyes.

The woman in green smiled gently, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, warm and gentle: "You're welcome. I really admire the courage and strength you have shown."

Her voice flows like a clear spring, refreshing the heart.

"How about I treat you to a meal at the restaurant to thank you for your help today?" Jiang Qiong mustered up his courage and looked forward to it secretly. He had been pursuing power and ignored the people around him, but now he felt the warmth and connection between people because of a battle.

The woman in green was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay, I'd love to." There was a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes, and she seemed very satisfied with the meal.

The two walked towards a nearby restaurant together. The sign outside the restaurant sparkled brightly in the sun. When the waiter at the door saw Jiang Qiong, he immediately saluted respectfully, obviously having heard about his performance today for a long time.

Jiang Qiong led the woman in green into the restaurant. The environment inside was elegant, and the aroma of spiritual food wafted around.

They found a seat by the window and sat down. The sunlight from outside shone through the glass onto the table, making it look warm and bright.

Jiang Qiong ordered a table of spiritual food. She was curious about the origins of the woman in green, so she asked, "Where are you from? Why are you here?"

The woman in green smiled slightly, and didn't seem to mind the question. "I come from the Lingshan Mountain in the south, where there is abundant spiritual energy and beautiful natural scenery. I am here to find a rare spiritual herb. I heard that it grows in the mountains nearby."

"Spiritual herb?" Jiang Qiong's eyes flashed with surprise, "What kind of spiritual herb is that?"

"It is a plant called 'Blood Spirit Grass'. It can enhance spiritual power and help practitioners reach a higher level faster." The green-clothed woman's eyes showed a trace of yearning. "But this spiritual grass is extremely rare and can only be found in specific environments."

"It sounds amazing." Jiang Qiong exclaimed, feeling admiration for the green-clothed woman's path of cultivation.

At this time, the spiritual meals were served one after another. The first one was "Flame-grilled Shrimp". The bright red shrimp was covered with a layer of golden flames, exuding an enticing aroma.

Next was the "Frost Spirit Chicken", the chicken was soaked in frost, the appearance was crystal clear, and it seemed to be still emitting cold air. The last dish served was the "Spirit Rice", the rice grains were plump and exuded a faint spiritual aura, as if every bite could nourish the soul.

"This is the charm of spiritual food." Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, picked up a piece of flame-roasted shrimp, and handed it to the woman in green, "Try this."

The woman in green took the shrimp, took a bite, and a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Delicious! The aroma of the flames and the tenderness of the shrimp are perfectly combined. It's really delicious."

Seeing that she liked it, Jiang Qiong felt relieved, and then picked up a piece of Frost Spirit Chicken and savored it carefully. The chicken melted in the mouth, with a hint of coolness and freshness, which made people admire it.

"I have never eaten such delicious spiritual food." The green-clothed woman's eyes sparkled, "You really have good taste."

"No, it's an honor for me to have dinner with you." Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, feeling secretly grateful in her heart that she had always been a lonely practitioner before, but now she can share this beauty with such an outstanding person, and her heart is filled with warmth.

The two chatted more and more speculatively. Jiang Qiong learned that the woman in green was named "Pei Ling". She not only had a high talent for cultivation, but was also good at medicine. She had treated many injured practitioners.

Jiang Qiong told Pei Ling about her cultivation experience from childhood to adulthood, as well as her grudge with the man in black.

"You are truly an extraordinary person." Pei Ling exclaimed, "In this world, there are very few people who can stick to their beliefs and constantly pursue power."

Jiang Qiong was slightly stunned, and then she felt warm in her heart. Then she said confidently: "I will continue to work hard to become a stronger person and protect the people I care about."

"I believe in you." Pei Ling's eyes flashed with determination. "As long as you have faith in your heart, you will be able to achieve your goals."

As time passed, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more lively, with guests laughing and talking around, and the aroma of spiritual food filled the air.

The conversation between Jiang Qiong and Pei Ling became more in-depth, and the distance between them was shortened unknowingly, as if this meal was not only for thanks, but also an arrangement of fate, allowing the two hearts to meet at this moment.

"Let's have spiritual food together next time." Jiang Qiong hoped secretly in her heart, with an expectant smile on her face.

Pei Ling smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more lively, the aroma of spiritual food filled the air, and the conversation between Jiang Qiong and Pei Ling became more in-depth.

The two chatted happily until the waiter of the restaurant came up again and reminded them softly: "You two, it's the end of the dinner time."

Jiang Qiong looked out the window. The setting sun gradually sank into the mountains, dyeing half the sky red. He felt reluctant and turned to Pei Ling and said, "Time flies. I didn't expect we talked for so long."

Pei Ling smiled slightly, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "Yes, I am very happy to spend this time with you."

The two said goodbye to each other, and Jiang Qiong secretly looked forward to meeting again in the future.

Pei Ling stood up, gently straightened his green clothes, and bowed to Jiang Qiong gracefully: "I hope you can make further progress on the road of cultivation."

"I will." Jiang Qiong nodded firmly and watched her walk out of the restaurant. Only until her figure disappeared around the corner of the street did her heart gradually calm down.

He walked out of the restaurant. Night fell, the starry sky was bright, and the night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and felt the warm memories in her heart.

He decided to rent a cave so that he could concentrate on his cultivation and think about his encounter with Pei Ling.

After finding a reputable rental place in the city, Jiang Qiong quickly selected a cave.

The cave is located halfway up a hill. It has a quiet environment, is surrounded by green trees, and has clear and melodious bird calls.

Walking into the cave, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but marvel at the sight before him.

The interior of the cave is spacious and bright. The surrounding stone walls are inlaid with glittering spiritual stones, emitting a soft light that illuminates the entire space.

The ground is paved with smooth spiritual stones, and walking on it feels like walking on clouds, light and comfortable.

In the center of the cave stands a carved wooden table, on which sit several cultivation classics. Next to it stands an exquisite spiritual medicine rack, on which are neatly placed various spiritual medicines, emitting a faint fragrance.

Jiang Qiong walked closer and found that these elixirs were what he needed, and he couldn't help feeling delighted.

On one side of the cave is a large window with a very wide view. You can overlook the mountains and rivers in the distance. The scenery is picturesque.

There was a comfortable cushion by the window, which was perfect for him to sit in meditation and practice.

On the other side is a small spiritual spring. The spring water is clear and you can see the bottom. The trickles flow out from the cracks in the rocks, making a pleasant gurgling sound, adding a bit of spirituality to the entire cave.

Jiang Qiong walked to the spiritual spring, bent over and scooped up a handful of spring water. The cool touch refreshed his mind, as if it washed away all the fatigue in his body and mind.

"This is such a great place to practice." Jiang Qiong sighed in his heart, and then secretly vowed in his heart that he would practice hard here and improve his strength as soon as possible.

He carefully checked the spiritual medicines on the spiritual medicine shelf and secretly planned his next training arrangements in his mind.

As his longing for Pei Ling grew stronger, Jiang Qiong's heart was ignited with a stronger motivation.

He hopes to reunite with Pei Ling in the near future to share each other's growth and progress.

As the night deepened, the cave became quiet and silent. Jiang Qiong prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this warmth and strength could accompany him all the way.

He sat down on the cushion, closed his eyes, and began his practice tonight.

As the spiritual energy flowed, his mind gradually calmed down. Everything around him seemed to disappear at this moment. Only the spiritual energy flowed slowly in his body, bringing endless tranquility and strength.

Jiang Qiong sat on the cushion with her legs crossed, her palms gently folded on her knees, her fingertips lightly touching, forming a quiet circle.

His mind gradually calmed down, as if the entire cave had merged into one with him. The surrounding spiritual energy flowed slowly in his body, bringing waves of cool comfort.

He began to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, slowly guiding them to gather towards his dantian.

As his mind focused, spiritual energy flowed along his meridians like a gentle stream, gradually filling his entire body with a warm power.

Jiang Qiong felt the flow of spiritual energy, as if they were weaving an invisible net for him, closely connecting him with the spiritual energy of nature.

"Spiritual energy, gather!" He chanted silently in his heart. As the voice echoed, a soft light gradually lit up in his dantian.

That was a sign of his cultivation. The spiritual energy gathered in his dantian, forming a small vortex that continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.

Jiang Qiong felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if he had transformed into an ocean of spiritual energy, with surging waves. (End of this chapter)
