Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

Song Chuan had already anticipated that as long as he could deal with the parasitic bees in Gaoping, the three from Mingjian Pavilion would definitely assist him.

This was something he had carefully considered after using his divine sense to investigate the situation of the others before he came over.

The two from the Fire Spring Sect and the pockmarked boy were people he was determined to kill.

The pockmarked boy, in particular, seemed to harbor deep resentment towards him. Despite being at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he dared to show it on his face, relying on his superior numbers; he was practically courting death.

The two from Huoquan Sect seemed to harbor considerable resentment towards Tenghua Valley during their battle with Lu Fenghua and her companion.

Since we've already encountered it, let's deal with it together, so we don't have to pick these thorny fruits later and something unexpected might happen.

The two offensive magical weapons he unleashed were the Honey-Cutting Knife and the Black Horn Hammer.

After the man surnamed Miao produced a small shield magic weapon, he then produced the fire fork that Song Chuan had seen that day, which was a high-grade magic weapon.

Song Chuan sneered and tapped the black horn hammer to restrain the fire fork.

Although this hammer is only of mid-grade, it is quite powerful and is my father's handy magic weapon.

It can't withstand the fire fork, but it can still put up a fight.

He made a hand seal and swiftly struck the honey-cutting knife. The knife flashed with silver light and slashed at the small shield of the man surnamed Miao.

This small shield is a high-level defensive magic weapon, comparable to the Honey-Cutting Knife.

It's almost impossible to break through a honey-cutting knife by force.

The man then tossed out several more talismans, including ice crystal talismans, fireball talismans, and wooden spike talismans. One of the ice crystal talismans was a high-grade first-tier talisman, while the others were mid-grade first-tier talismans.

Countless ice crystals, fireballs, and wooden spikes surged towards Song Chuan.

Song Chuan stared intently, a mocking expression on his face.

The most powerful ice crystal rune is slightly countered by my own earth-attribute spells.

He changed his magic technique, chanted several incantations, and a thick earthen wall instantly rose around him.

Spikes emerged from the earthen wall, and flying stones bounced up, blocking the fireballs and wooden spikes.

Only when the ice crystals hit the earthen wall did they create countless holes in the wall, causing it to gradually collapse.

Dozens more ice crystals passed through the wall, but at a much slower speed, and Song Chuan dodged them.

He shook his head; these few spells could barely block the talismans.

The man surnamed Miao frowned deeply. The last time he saw this person, he had used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique), and he had assumed that this person was a specialist in escape techniques.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a genuine practitioner of earth magic.

Among the Five Elements, the most common are the three attributes of wood, water, and fire. Although those who specialize in earth-based methods are not uncommon, they are also rare.

Some cultivators with slightly stronger earth-elemental roots even choose other attribute cultivation methods and would never choose earth-elemental methods.

Because the traditional methods progress slowly and become increasingly difficult as cultivation progresses, it is necessary to find suitable ley lines to complement the cultivation techniques.

Unless the advantage of the Earth Spirit Root is too obvious, one has no choice but to focus on Earth magic.

Earth-based spells, even if they are quite ordinary, do offer slightly stronger defensive capabilities.

Looking at the two people beside him, they were working together to resist the attacks of the three from Mingjian Pavilion, and they were already teetering on the brink of collapse!

Gao Ping is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Although he is slightly unwell, he is fine for a short fight.

He, Ji Shuren, and the woman each unleashed a sharp flying sword, fiercely attacking their junior brother and the pockmarked boy's defensive magical artifacts.

The man surnamed Miao was extremely anxious. This man surnamed Song was a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from Teng Hua Valley, and he must have some trump cards up his sleeve.

He had previously witnessed the top-tier first-order water arrow talisman unleashed by those two cultivators from Vine Flower Valley.

Oh, right, this person also has earth locust stones! Only then was he horrified!

Just as he was getting anxious, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Chuan giving him a strange smile.

not good!

After dodging the ice crystals, Song Chuan changed his hand gestures again, pointing to the honey-cutting knife once more.

Hot liquid instantly flowed from the grooves of the blade and slid onto his small shield.

"Glug! Glug!"

These liquids, like magma, were bubbling and boiling.

"The beekeeper's honeycomb broth, you are a beekeeper!"

The man surnamed Miao shouted and immediately begged for mercy:

"Fellow Daoist Song, I am acquainted with Fellow Daoist Guo, the beekeeper of your sect. If you can spare us, we will leave immediately and never get involved with this thorny fruit again."

"Beekeeper, Fellow Daoist Guo!" Song Chuan said noncommittally.

"You know him well, but I don't."

He suddenly pointed at the honey-cutting knife, and another stream of molten honey flowed onto the Miao man's defensive shield.

In the blink of an eye, the defensive shield was melted and pitted, revealing the true form of the small shield.

The man surnamed Miao had lost all will to control the fire fork and fight the black horn hammer. He focused all his energy on raising his small shield to block the honey-cutting knife.

Song Chuan glanced at the others and saw that they were all focused on using the ritual implements. He had an idea, and the orchid worm in his arms crawled out.

A few breaths later, a sound of "Ah!" was heard, and the man surnamed Miao suddenly felt a piercing pain in his Jianjing acupoint, causing his magic power to falter!

The honey-cutting knife seized the opportunity, circled around his head, and his head rolled to the ground.

The orchid worm had only recently advanced to the first rank, so it was naturally quite difficult for it to ambush a fully armed late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, this person's defensive shield had been broken, and only the small shield itself was barely holding on. With drafts coming from all sides, the orchid worm could easily get its hands on it.

Song Chuan quickly pointed his honey-harvesting knife and joined the battle to besiege the other two.

The two men's defensive magical artifacts were instantly breached by the three flying swords and the honey-cutting knife, resulting in their decapitation.

Song Chuan put away the magical artifact and took all three people's storage bags.

He wiped away the divine sense from it, glanced at it briefly, and then hung it on his waist.

The three from Mingjian Pavilion watched as Song Chuan swiftly subdued the man surnamed Miao, using three different earth-attribute spells in the process. Although none of them were particularly powerful, they were combined in a clever and effective way.

This person's fighting skills were extremely strong, and he didn't even reveal his trump cards, which made them secretly shocked.

Gao Ping glanced at the storage bag at Song Chuan's waist and revealed a hint of envy.

"I will distribute their belongings with you later. Now, Fellow Daoist Gao, please come over here," Song Chuan said.

Gao Ping quickly came to Song Chuan's side: "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."

Song Chuan raised his sword fingers and, with lightning speed, struck several vital acupoints on him, including Shenque, Tanzhong, and Xuanji.

After pressing these acupoints, Song Chuan stopped.

"Is that all?" Gao Ping was a little puzzled, but he did feel less uncomfortable.

"I'm just sealing a few of your acupoints to trap the parasitic wasps. As for removing them, that will have to wait until I finish harvesting the throat-piercing fruit."

Song Chuan chuckled.

"this……"

"Fellow Daoist Song, we've helped you deal with these three. As a disciple of Teng Hua Valley, you shouldn't go back on your word, right?" the woman said, somewhat displeased.

Ji Shuren then pulled her up:

"Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Song is a beekeeper. Removing the parasitic bees from Senior Brother's body would be a piece of cake for her. How could she go back on her word?"

He then smiled at Song Chuan and said, "I wonder if there's anything else we can do to help you, my friend?"

"You stay here; they can wait outside the woods. Don't worry, I will keep my promise."

The woman was about to say something when Ji Shuren stopped her with a look.

Gao Ping's face was grim, but he still led his junior sister out of the forest.

Song Chuan watched their retreating figures, smiled at Ji Shuren, and then carefully examined the Thorn Throat Fruit.
