Chapter 1212 Distribution of Spiritual Items, Cold Jade Spiritual Pool

As soon as Li Mufeng opened his eyes, a figure in black robes appeared not far in front of him.

It was Li Xianyun who was the first to notice the commotion and rushed to the rescue.

"It's you."

After returning to "Eastern Phoenix Immortal Continent", Li Xianyun spent several years in seclusion to heal his injuries, and his wounds have almost completely recovered.

Facing the "Ice Fox Demon King," who had fought numerous battles and was still suffering from many injuries.

Li Xianyun, having just used the power of his sword formation, actually managed to force back a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with only a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivation, which was truly beyond the expectations of the two demons.

Seeing Li Xianyun blocking Li Mufeng's way, the two "Ice Fox Demon Kings" immediately lost the will to continue fighting.

He immediately dodged past the two opponents and headed north to escape.

But just as the "Ice Fox Demon King" left its original spot, Li Xianyun also controlled his flying sword to chase after it, blocking it with a sword strike in mid-air.

Although his cultivation level was inferior to his opponent's, Li Xianyun's supernatural abilities were already equivalent to most of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he showed no fear in the face of the "Ice Fox Demon Emperor" at the eighth level of Nascent Soul.

The other party tried several times to get rid of his entanglement, but failed to do so easily.

In the end, after escaping for only a few dozen miles, the "Ice Fox Demon King" was still surrounded by Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian, and the others who had arrived.

After a fierce battle, this late-stage Nascent Soul demon emperor still perished under the combined attack of the crowd.

The other "Silver Fox Demon King" was unable to stop Li Mufeng because he was too badly injured, and he managed to escape to the north.

By the time Song Qingming and his companions had dealt with the "Ice Fox Demon King," the great battle on the mountaintop was almost over.

Lü Yue, Zheng Zitong, and the others ultimately failed to find the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" on the mountain, and could only send a message to Song Qingming and the others down the mountain with some regret.

Upon learning that the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" had disappeared, Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian, and the others were all somewhat surprised.

Somewhat disbelieving that the other party had vanished into thin air on the mountain, Song Qingming led the group to search around "Boyun Mountain" again, but still could not find any trace of "Tianwei Demon Emperor".

However, a remnant of a magic array mark was found in the main hall.

Although he didn't witness it firsthand, Song Qingming had some understanding of the formations.

They quickly guessed that the other party must have used this magic array to withdraw from "Boyun Mountain" in advance, which is why they missed their target.

Unexpectedly, this demon had left a backup plan on the mountain, which allowed it to escape successfully, much to everyone's regret.

Although they failed to stop the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor," the human cultivators still achieved an unprecedented victory in the Battle of "Boyun Mountain."

This battle not only captured the northern part of the "Floating Cloud Mountains," but also the most important stronghold of the demon race, "Boyun Mountain."

The main force of the nearly 50,000-strong demon beast army on the mountain was also completely wiped out by the human cultivator army in this battle.

Apart from the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" and the "Silver Fox Demon Emperor" who managed to escape, all seven demon emperors, led by the "Ice Fox Demon Emperor" and the "Ancient Cloud Demon Emperor," perished at the hands of Song Qingming and his group.

As dawn broke, the various battlefield formations on "Boyun Mountain" came to an end.

At this time, the entire Ling Mountain was already littered with corpses, with countless demon beast carcasses covering almost half of the mountain.

In the battle of "Boyun Mountain", the human cultivator alliance completely wiped out the main force of the demon race that had been entrenched in the northeast.

After this battle, only the remaining tens of thousands of demon beasts led by the Azure-Eyed Demon Emperor remained in the north of the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range".

The demon race no longer possessed any power that could threaten the human territory to the south.

Even though the number of human cultivators far exceeded that of the enemy, the demon beast army still held a significant advantage in terms of terrain due to the cover provided by the high-level "Demon Wind Formation" on the mountain.

However, in order to conquer this sacred mountain that the demon race had been cultivating for many years, the human cultivator alliance had been attacking the city for more than half a month and had also paid a considerable price.

According to preliminary statistics from the enforcement team, nearly 20,000 human cultivators died directly in the battle, and more than 15,000 were injured.

The overall losses of the lower-level cultivators were not much better than those of the demon race.

If Song Qingming and his group hadn't brought three high-level "Formation-Breaking Beads," which opened a gap in the "Demon Wind Formation" at a crucial moment, they would have been able to capture the mountain ahead of schedule.

If the fighting continues, it will probably still be difficult to break through the great formation in less than ten days to half a month.

The number of casualties among human cultivators will inevitably increase significantly.

Compared to the lower-level cultivators below, the human race has gained an absolute advantage in terms of Nascent Soul combat power, and no cultivators have fallen.

Only when Li Mufeng was searching for the enemy's high-level cultivators did he accidentally run into the "Ice Fox Demon Emperor" and his companion, and he was severely injured while desperately trying to hold them off.

The other members, including "Flame Daoist" and Liu Qingyin, only suffered minor injuries during the Demon Emperor's final desperate counterattack, which did not significantly affect their combat strength.

In this battle, Li Mufeng not only suffered severe physical injuries, but his "natal magic weapon" also exploded and was destroyed during the battle, causing serious damage to his dantian.

Fortunately, Li Xianyun arrived in time to provide assistance, which saved his life.

Li Mufeng had cultivated for over 1,300 years, and his lifespan was only a little over 100 years left.

He was seriously injured this time and also revealed his "life treasure" that he had been cultivating for many years.

Even if he recovers from his injuries in the future, it will be difficult for Li Mufeng to regain his original strength, which means his path to enlightenment is completely over.

In order to hold off his opponent and prevent the "Ice Fox Demon King" from escaping, Li Mufeng was prepared to die to successfully keep him at bay, which deeply moved everyone present.

After the war, Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian, Li Xuanyi and other disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" rushed to the flying boat to visit him after learning about the incident.

To help Li Mufeng heal his injuries, Song Qingming specially spent 300,000 spirit stones to exchange for a high-grade level four healing pill from Xuan Tong Zhenren, the Grand Elder of the "Tian Dan Alliance".

Despite the elaborate efforts of Song Qingming and his group, Li Mufeng, who was seriously injured, remained extremely calm.

Knowing that his injuries were unlikely to heal, he not only advised everyone not to waste spirit stones, but also insisted on staying at "Boyun Mountain" to help.

Given Li Mufeng's current condition, although taking the elixir provided some relief, engaging in combat with another person would inevitably worsen his injuries.

If he gets injured again as a result, it may affect his already limited lifespan.

As the oldest Nascent Soul ancestor of the sect present, Li Mufeng has been protecting the Xiaoyao Sect for nearly a thousand years since he formed his Nascent Soul.

The many disciples of the "Free and Unfettered Sect" present were naturally unwilling to see him perish on the battlefield.

In the end, it was only after a long and serious persuasion from Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian that Li Mufeng gave up his idea of ​​staying on the front line of "Boyun Mountain" and agreed to return to the sect to heal his injuries.

A few days later, under Song Qingyu's personal protection.

Li Mufeng and several thousand other wounded soldiers who had been seriously injured in the battle boarded a flying boat and returned to the rear of Wei State.

Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian, and the others who remained on "Boyun Mountain" continued to clean up the battlefield and began planning to continue their northward campaign to sweep through the surrounding spiritual mountains.

Although the Battle of Boyun Mountain defeated the main force of the demon race in the northeast, many spiritual veins in the surrounding area were still occupied by the demon race.

After resting for several days, Song Qingming immediately dispatched his cultivators to sweep through the spiritual veins surrounding "Boyun Mountain" in several large groups.

Because most of the leading demon emperors had already perished on the battlefield, the human army swept through many spiritual mountains as easily as autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves.

Soon, Song Qingming and his group took over all the high-level spiritual mountains that were originally controlled by the demon race, including "Wild Wind Ridge", "Luoyang Mountain" and "White Crane Valley".

From then on, except for a few remote areas, most of the spiritual mountains in the eastern part of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" fell under the control of human cultivators.

In addition to reclaiming the territories that had been controlled by the demon race for tens of thousands of years, the human cultivator army also seized a number of high-level spiritual items from many spiritual mountains.

On the mountain of "Boyun Mountain" alone, a top-grade fourth-level spiritual vein, Song Qingming and his group found several mature fourth-level spiritual herbs.

There are also various high-grade spirit trees, spirit fruits, and many spirit creatures that are not yet mature.

While searching the entire Ling Mountain, Bai Yuxian also discovered a spiritual pool shrouded in cold air in a remote cave in the back mountain.

Although the spirit pool is small, it is filled with abundant icy spiritual energy, and wisps of spiritual liquid are still emerging from it.

With just one glance, Bai Yuxian and the others were instantly drawn to it.

After examining it closely, Bai Yuxian quickly confirmed that the spiritual object appearing in the spiritual pool was very similar to a spiritual liquid she had seen at the "auction" before.

If she wasn't mistaken, the spiritual liquid inside was the extremely rare "Frosty Jade Spiritual Water" in the cultivation world.

"Cold Jade Spirit Water" is a rare spiritual item that can assist in the formation of the Nascent Soul stage. It is generally only produced in places where the spiritual eyes of special high-level spiritual veins gather.

When Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian participated in the "Eastern Phoenix Sword Tournament," they bid for several bottles of spiritual water for their sect.

Both Song Yuanhao and Zhou Ziyang consumed a bottle of "Cold Jade Spirit Water" when they formed their nascent souls.

Seeing that there was a spiritual pool on "Boyun Mountain" that could give birth to "Cold Jade Spiritual Water", Bai Yuxian was also surprised.

He quickly dismissed his disciples and took out a porcelain bottle to collect all the "Cold Jade Spirit Water" from the spirit pool.

He then used a spell to transmit his voice, notifying Song Qingming, who was still setting things up outside, in a private manner.

When Song Qingming arrived, he was surprised to find that Bai Yuxian was holding more than a dozen bottles of "Cold Jade Spirit Water".

He never expected that such a rare and precious spiritual object would be hidden on the "Boyun Mountain" in front of him, which was truly beyond his expectations.

Tens of thousands of years ago, "Boyun Mountain" was a level-five spiritual vein and the mountain gate of the Nanyue Sect, a Nascent Soul sect in the Fuyun Mountain Range.

However, the "Nanyue Sect" later declined, and the demon race took advantage of the situation to invade the Fuyun Mountains.

After a fierce battle, the "Nanyue Sect" was outnumbered and ultimately destroyed by the demon army.

The spiritual veins of this place were also destroyed in the great battle, and it fell to the fourth-level high-grade realm, and was later occupied by the "Cloud-Clearing Demon Emperor".

Even so, this sacred mountain left behind by the Nascent Soul sect still holds a great deal of profound heritage.

"Junior Brother Song, only I and a few other disciples in the sect have seen this spiritual liquid. Others probably don't know about this place yet."

"Do you think we should tell them about this?" Upon hearing Bai Yuxian's words, Song Qingming immediately understood what she meant and shook his head.

"Since it has been agreed that all spiritual items obtained will be distributed according to merit, these captured Cold Jade Spiritual Liquids should naturally be taken out and distributed together at that time."

With so many eyes watching from the mountain, it's impossible to keep my arrival a secret from everyone.

Now that we have just defeated the demon army, our army will continue to move north to contain the demons. At this time, we must not lose the hearts of the people because of the spirit creatures.

Since these spiritual liquids were discovered by Senior Sister Bai, you can keep two bottles as a reward, and register the rest of the "Cold Jade Spiritual Water".

As for this spirit pool, it doesn't need to be registered. Set up a protective barrier to seal it off, and let Xuanhe and the others guard it for now.

The army that marched north to attack "Boyun Mountain" was not only from "Xiaoyao Sect", but also from many sects in the Fuyun Mountain Range, as well as reinforcements from "Tiandan Alliance" invited by Song Qingming.

The group had agreed beforehand that all spoils of war would be distributed according to merit.

Although there are so many sects, it's impossible for everyone to follow the rules. There will always be those who secretly cheat and shirk their duties.

However, if the "Free and Unfettered Sect," which leads and organizes all the major sects, were to take the lead in secretly hoarding spiritual items, it would surely cause unrest among the troops once it was discovered.

Because of this concern, Song Qingming pondered for a moment and decided to register the "Cold Jade Spirit Water" he had found, without any intention of keeping these spiritual items for himself.

Just as Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian left the cave and began casting spells to seal the entrance,

Two streaks of light suddenly flew in from afar; it was Lü Yue and "Master Xuantong," who happened to be heading this way.

"Fellow Daoist Song, so you're here too."

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Bai has discovered a cave. I originally wanted to come and see if I could help, but I didn't expect you to arrive first."

"I wonder what has appeared here, and why you two fellow Daoists have sealed this place."

Just as Song Qingming had suspected, the two were indeed there to gather information and find out what Bai Yuxian had found.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have come prepared, Song Qingming immediately did not deliberately hide anything and told them about the discovery of the "Cold Jade Spirit Water".

".."

“The cold air in this cave is quite intense. If a low-level disciple accidentally enters this place, he or she might be frostbitten. That’s why Senior Sister Bai and I decided to seal it up first.”

Upon learning that Bai Yuxian had found more than a dozen bottles of "Cold Jade Spirit Water," Lü Yue and his companion were also surprised and stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

"I never expected that there would be Cold Jade Spirit Water here."

It's rare for Fellow Daoist Bai to have such good fortune; it's truly enviable.

"It is thanks to everyone that Jade Fairy was able to find these spiritual waters. You two are too kind."

Upon learning that the contents were "Cold Jade Spirit Water," Lü Yue, a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, was somewhat surprised, but his interest quickly vanished.

For a major sect like the "Demon Slayer Sect," let alone a few bottles of "Cold Jade Spirit Water," even "Nurture Pills" could be easily obtained.

The only things that could move Lü Yue, a great cultivator, were those high-grade level four spiritual items.

After congratulating Bai Yuxian a few times, Lü Yue quickly left the spot.

On the other hand, "Master Xuantong" looked at the "Cold Jade Spirit Water" in Bai Yuxian's hand with obvious excitement and asked a few questions out of curiosity.

In response, Song Qingming simply offered a few calm explanations without specifically mentioning the "spiritual pool" in the cave.

Upon hearing that the spiritual water from the cave was already here, "Master Xuantong" had no doubts and nodded slightly.

He led his troops to provide support, originally for the spiritual herbs and spirit stones in Song Qingming's possession.

According to the distribution of merits, Bai Yuxian had more than a dozen bottles of spiritual water, and he should be able to get one or two bottles as well. This was already an unexpected surprise.

Even if there is still some spiritual water left in the cave, he wouldn't be able to get much, so there's no need to worry about it.

Soon, the "Master Xuandao" cupped his hands in greeting and left on his own.

After ten days of searching, the mature spiritual creatures on the entire "Boyun Mountain" and several nearby high-level spiritual veins have basically been swept away by the human cultivator army.

Soon, a compiled list fell into the hands of Song Qingming and his team.

According to the distribution of merits, all the captured spiritual items and numerous monster materials have been carefully divided into several portions by Song Qingming.

As the leading sect and the one that contributed the most to this effort, the "Xiaoyao Sect" naturally received the most high-level spiritual items.

Not only did they obtain high-level materials and a superior-grade level four demon core from the "Ice Fox Demon King," but they also obtained several level four spiritual herbs, a spirit fruit tree, and five bottles of "Frosty Jade Spirit Water."

Other sects, including the "Heavenly Pill Alliance" and the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom" who came to provide support, such as Lü Yue and Zhou Daoping, also received their own share of spiritual items.

On the flying boat, the representatives of the various sects looked at the list of spiritual items in their hands, and most of them showed a satisfied expression.

No one voiced any opinion in public.

Besides the numerous spiritual items captured on the battlefield, Song Qingming also made a simple classification of the remaining high-level spiritual veins, including "Boyun Mountain".

The three level-four spiritual veins, namely "Wild Wind Ridge," "Luoyang Mountain," and "White Crane Valley," were respectively assigned to "Star Gate," "Heavenly Pole Sect," and "Cloud Soaring Sect."

The highest-grade spiritual vein, "Boyun Mountain," naturally belonged to the "Xiaoyao Sect."

Apart from the sects west of Taiyue Lake, such as the "Xiaoyao Sect," the territories of other forces are too far away, and the spiritual veins here are of little use to them.

They simply gave us an extra portion of the spiritual items as compensation.

Lu Yue and the others had no objection to this.

After pacifying the area around "Boyun Mountain", the human cultivator army had rested for nearly half a month. The next step was to complete the plan to continue the northward attack.

Tens of thousands of miles north of "Boyun Mountain", one has completely left the "Fuyun Mountain Range", and further north lies the boundless "Northern Frontier" hills.

The closest major demon clan in the Northern Frontier to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" is the "Heavenly Fox Clan," which controls the Valley of Ten Thousand Foxes.

After discussing it, Song Qingming and the others left Bai Yuxian, "Wind Ape," and a group of cultivators to guard the rear of "Boyun Mountain."

Then, they selected an army of 80,000 elite cultivators and set off northward in flying boats, heading straight for the ancestral home of the "Heavenly Fox Clan," the "Valley of Ten Thousand Foxes."

Just as the human cultivator army was about to set out, the Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor, who was in the "Valley of Ten Thousand Foxes," quickly received news from the front lines.

"Your Highness, the army of the Xiaoyao Sect has already marched north, and it will probably reach the northern border in no more than half a month."

"Damn Longhe, they promised to come to my aid, how dare they deceive me like this."

Quickly send a message to the patriarch, telling him to leave Donghuang Kingdom aside for now.

If we don't return to provide support, our Celestial Fox clan will be completely wiped out.

Previously, the entire army of the "Heavenly Fox Clan" had marched south, and most of them had perished on the battlefield.

Of the demon beasts that managed to escape with the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor," almost one in ten survived.

Originally, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" wanted to call upon the nearby "Ancient Crane Clan" to send troops to provide support.

However, the ancient crane clan, led by the "Dragon Crane Demon Emperor," was shocked to hear that the "Heavenly Fox Clan" had suffered a complete defeat and that the human army was marching north to attack.

Fearing that his own sacred mountain would be besieged by human cultivators, the "Dragon Crane Demon Emperor" outwardly agreed to support them, but secretly made various excuses and dared not easily send troops to their aid.

Now, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Foxes, only tens of thousands of old, weak, and disabled soldiers remain under the command of the Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor.

Even with the protection of a large formation, their strength alone would be insufficient to withstand the human cultivator army head-on, and they would likely repeat the same mistakes as before.

In order to prevent our ancestral home, "Wanhu Valley," from becoming a second "Boyun Mountain."

At this moment, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" could not care about anything else and immediately cast a spell to control the clan's magical treasures to contact another "Thousand Cloud Ancestor" who had gone to the front line of the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom".

This "Ancestor Qianyun" is the highest-ranking demon emperor in the Heavenly Fox Clan, and his cultivation is no less than that of the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor".

Upon suddenly learning that their ancestral land, "Ten Thousand Fox Valley," was in imminent danger, "Ancestor Qianyun" disregarded his pride and went directly to several Nascent Soul Ancestors to beg for help.

The demon race, who were unaware of the situation at the "Floating Cloud Mountains," were immediately taken aback.

It was thought that the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" leading the main force of the Heavenly Fox Clan southward would at least restrain the human cultivators in the eastern part of the continent, if not wipe out the entire human race in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Unexpectedly, it has only been less than a year.

The "Heavenly Fox Clan" army had been completely wiped out, pushed back to their doorstep by human cultivators.

Upon learning that the eastern front had collapsed, not only "Ancestor Qianyun" but also several other powerful demon clans near the "Heavenly Fox Clan" were somewhat uneasy.

Now, the entire clan's army has been mobilized and is tied down on the front lines of the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom".

Those who remained in the ancestral land were mostly the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and their strength was not great. They were bound to be no match for the elite army of human cultivators.

If their ancestral spiritual mountain were to be breached by the human cultivator army, it would be a matter of life and death for the entire race.

They cannot afford to be the slightest bit negligent.

Seeing the situation in the east deteriorate to such an extent, the demon race had no choice but to recall troops from the front lines to provide reinforcements, temporarily delaying their plans to expand their gains in the west.

This also relieved a lot of pressure on the human cultivators in the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom".

For a year, they had been on the defensive against the powerful attacks of the demon army, and had lost many territories. Now they finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Meanwhile, in the eastern "Floating Cloud Mountains" region, the human cultivators led by Song Qingming and others finally arrived outside "Ten Thousand Fox Valley" after a long journey of nearly a month.

Looking ahead at the towering, majestic mountains that seemed to reach into the clouds.

It was the first time that people from the ancestral home of the great clans of the Northern Frontier had seen such people, and their eyes showed a hint of surprise.
