A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

After taking the contents out of the two people's storage bags, Lin He casually waved his hand, destroying the evidence of Feng Yue and Duobao's deaths, and then blasted a deep pit, burying the storage bags in the pit.

He definitely wouldn't dare carry Duobao's storage bag with him, who knows if there might be some strange markings on it. As for Feng Yue, although he hadn't heard of any senior relatives, he also abandoned his storage bag to avoid trouble.

Lin He only had a ten-fold storage bag given to him when he entered the sect, which was far from enough to hold so many things. However, Lin He didn't care, since he also had his personal space, which had a very large range and could not be detected by high-level cultivators, making it very safe.

"This battle has depleted some of our mana, and the Azure Water Crocodile also needs to rest. Let's go back to our personal space to take stock of our spoils."

Lin He did not enter his personal space directly. Instead, he went far away from the place, found a secluded spot, and then waved his hand to enter his personal space.

In one corner of his personal space, there was a large pile of things. Lin He took stock of them one by one. Not to mention the disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain he had killed before, there wasn't even a single high-grade magic weapon.

The giant swordsman from the Giant Sword Sect and the Taoist priest from the Qingxu Sect who were killed yesterday gave us three high-grade magic weapons, a pair of flaming flying forks, and a black giant sword. We also got more than ten mid-grade and low-grade magic weapons, as well as various materials, more than a dozen low-level talismans, and more than forty low-grade spirit stones.

The biggest gain today was the discovery of four top-tier magical artifacts from Duobao Nu's storage bag: a Qingning Mirror, a pair of white rings, a red crystal ball, a small emerald sword talisman, dozens of various primary talismans, and even three primary and high-level talismans. There were also over a hundred spirit stones and more than thirty mid-grade and low-grade magical artifacts.

Feng Yue also possessed a considerable number of treasures: a pair of cloud-stepping boots, a yellow silk umbrella, a small dagger talisman, a top-grade flying sword, five high-grade magic weapons, a dozen mid-grade magic weapons, and more than twenty low-grade magic weapons, as well as various materials and more than eighty spirit stones.

In addition, forty or fifty first-level low-grade demonic beasts were collected yesterday, most of them Iron-Armed Apes and Frost Toads, and they are all at the other end of the personal space at the moment.

Lin He naturally needed to familiarize himself with these newly acquired top-tier magical artifacts. He spent some time using them, and then took out a low-grade spirit stone to restore his magical power. The two Azure Water Crocodiles had been silently following Lin He all the way, and they were also tired and needed to rest now.

Two hours later, Lin He stepped out of his personal space. It was now the second day since entering the forbidden area. The elite disciples of the major sects should have already arrived at the outer perimeter of the central area, waiting for the Sun and Moon Pearl to dispel the thick fog so that they could go to the central area to collect spiritual herbs.

"The elite disciples from each faction should be lying in wait on the outskirts of the central area. I wonder who I'll run into next?"

With this in mind, Lin He began to walk towards the central area.

. . .

. . .

Han Li walked to a bronze door, and looking back on his experiences over the past two days, he couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as he entered the forbidden area, he was teleported to Wulongtan. He witnessed how even the cautious disciples of Tianque Fortress were still tricked and killed in a daze, so he became even more careful. On the way, he picked up a transparent silk magic artifact.

However, he was still besieged by a disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain and a disciple from Heavenly Palace Fortress. He spent a lot of effort killing the two of them, and his magic power was also greatly depleted. So he meditated and rested for a night to recover his magic power before heading towards the central area.

However, as soon as he entered the outer perimeter of the central area through the bronze gate, he immediately encountered a formidable enemy. This was a middle-aged, ugly man in his forties with a pockmarked face. The other party was Zhong Wu, a disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain, who was skilled in controlling spirit beasts. At this moment, he was using two winged flying snakes to attack Han Li.

Han Li used the Wind Control Technique to maneuver around the two flying snakes, relying on his superior movement. He did not use his full strength because the ugly man Zhong Wu was still watching from the side, looking for an opportunity to strike.

"Kid, your movement skills are not bad. Looks like I'll have to give you a little boost."

Zhong Wu had seven or eight spirit beast pouches tied around his waist. At this moment, he took out one of them, and a large swarm of poisonous bees immediately flew out of the pouch.

Although these poisonous bees were only first-level low-grade spirit beasts, their sheer number—at least thirty—was overwhelming, and they all charged towards Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li cursed inwardly and quickly took out the top-grade shield magic weapon he had bought in the Yellow Maple Valley market. Even so, Han Li still felt it wasn't safe, so he added a water-attribute defensive talisman.

After activating his defense, Han Li's speed immediately slowed down. The two mid-level level 1 flying snakes and more than thirty low-level level 1 poisonous bees launched a frenzied attack on the shield.

The barrage of attacks caused the shield artifact to shake violently, but fortunately, it was a top-tier defensive artifact, which allowed it to withstand the attack for some time.

Han Li's expression darkened upon seeing this. He then took out a top-grade flying sword and attacked one of the flying snakes. This top-grade flying sword was indeed extraordinary. Taking advantage of the situation, it directly cut the flying snake in two.

"You brat, how dare you hurt my spirit beast!"

Zhong Wu was furious. With a thought, he intensified the attack of the swarm of poisonous bees. At the same time, he untied a spirit beast pouch, seemingly intending to release some spirit beast, but suddenly stopped. He looked to his right and said in a deep voice,

"Who are you? Why are you spying on me in secret?"

Han Li also sensed something and quickly looked in that direction at the person who had suddenly appeared.

This was a handsome young man in a blue robe, with delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. He looked to be around eighteen years old and was gently wiping the dust off his hands with a fragrant handkerchief.

"Han Tianya!"

Zhongwu called out the other person's name with a look of fear on his face.

This seemingly transvestite young man is actually Han Tianya, a promising talent from Huadaowu!

Han Tianya glanced at Han Li and then said, "Zhongwu, this kid actually has two top-tier magic weapons. He's not easy to deal with. Why don't I lend you a hand?"

"Hmph, lend me a hand?" Zhongwu said coldly. "You said you would help me, but you haven't shown up yet. Are you planning to deal with me too after this kid and I have both been injured?"

"How could that be?" Han Tianya uttered a sharp voice, which gave Han Li and Zhong Wu goosebumps.

"You'd better not get any ideas about taking advantage of the situation. I can handle this kid on my own; I don't need your help."

Seeing Zhong Wu's vigilance, Han Tianya snorted coldly, "You're really boring. I'd rather... wait, someone else has come in."

At this moment, a handsome young man in yellow slowly pushed open the bronze door.
