Yunmeng Immortal Clan

A flash of sword light shattered the sealed stone wall in an instant, and only then did Song Daoxuan dare to escape from the cave.

After tidying everything up, Song Daoxuan took out the jade slip containing information about star minerals.

Song Daoxuan probed the jade slip with his divine sense, quickly took the information about the star mineral veins recorded in the jade slip, and fled.

Upon arriving at a certain place, Song Daoxuan made a hand seal, and a beam of spiritual light instantly enveloped the stone wall in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, the stone wall cracked open, and a passageway appeared instantly.

This is a restriction, although it's only a restriction that Foundation Establishment cultivators can cast. However, if it weren't for the guidance of this jade slip...

Seeing the opportunity, Song Daoxuan slipped into the passageway and disappeared inside for about a quarter of an hour.

A glowing cave suddenly appeared.

Song Daoxuan was overjoyed. In his view, there were as many as seven Star Ore deposits in this mine.

As for the many shiny stones besides the star ore, they are all associated minerals.

These semi-raw minerals are of no value to cultivators other than being pretty stones.

Song Daoxuan took out his long sword and tapped and hammered on the shiny stones for a while.

He then put these fist-sized, dark black crystals into his storage bag.

Then, Song Daoxuan did not give up on any corner of the mine, and obtained three more star ore in a secluded spot.

Within this vein, Song Daoxuan obtained nine pieces of Star Ore.

After harvesting the star ore in this area, Song Daoxuan left.

Having obtained the Star Ore, his wish for this trip was fulfilled, and he prepared to leave the barren land of the Heavenly Demon Cave.

However, now that Song Daoxuan has a map, he can no longer encounter ghosts and evil spirits along the way as before.

Fortunately, he was strong enough; otherwise, he would have been hunted down and killed by evil spirits in this desolate wilderness, becoming food for these ghosts.

Following the map, Song Daoxuan began his return journey, but after walking for a short while, he faintly heard a series of fighting sounds again.

Ahead, a chilling aura permeated the air.

Having fought ghosts several times before, Song Daoxuan quickly recognized the aura of the vengeful spirit.

For Song Daoxuan, the attack on a normal cultivator by a vengeful ghost was completely irrelevant.

However, Song Daoxuan still took a closer look.

There were probably four cultivators among them, and one of them had a cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The remaining three were at the early Foundation Establishment stage and the late Qi Refining stage, respectively.

There were thirteen fierce ghosts, the lowest of which were comparable in strength to a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage, and there were even a few ghosts and evil creatures whose cultivation had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The men stared wide-eyed, their bodies covered in blood.

Song Daoxuan took a closer look, and what he saw immediately filled him with surprise.

Among the group of people being attacked by evil spirits, four were dressed in ice-blue Taoist robes.

One of the women had a curvaceous figure and a captivating aura.

This woman was none other than Zhou Yuling, the daughter of Zhou Yunlan, a renowned rogue cultivator in Yunmeng Immortal Continent who was acquainted with Song Daoxuan.

Zhou Yunlan had shown kindness to both Song Daoxuan and the Qinglian Song Clan.

As for Zhou Yuling herself, she possesses the renowned Xuan Yin Body in the cultivation world.

Once the Yin-Yang Body is freed from the cold and yin energy within its body, it transforms from a constitution that hinders cultivators' practice into one that is highly beneficial to their cultivation path.

After the cold air is dispelled, the female cultivator with the Xuan Yin body will find her primordial yin to be a great tonic for cultivators.

With this physical advantage, Zhou Yuling was able to successfully establish her foundation, which was significant for Song Daoxuan.

Senior Brother Ling Feng had long coveted Junior Sister Zhou Yuling.

Ling Feng's older sister, who was somewhat beautiful, married Shen Tianfeng, an elder of the sect, in her early years and was one of Shen Tianfeng's most favored concubines.

Shen Tianfeng was skilled at setting up camps in Icewind Valley and had a wide network of connections.

Therefore, with this powerful backer, Ling Feng not only had no worries about the allocation of cultivation resources, but was also an existence that no one in the entire sect dared to provoke.

After Shen Tianfeng took Zhou Yuling as his disciple, by chance, he judged from the aura she emitted after cultivation that she was the legendary Xuan Yin Body who had broken through the cold energy.

After that, Zhou Yuling went out to carry out sect missions every time.

Shen Tianfeng deliberately arranged for Zhou Yuling and Ling Feng to be together, hoping that Ling Feng could use this opportunity to win over Zhou Yuling.

If Shen Tianfeng hadn't coveted it, Zhou Yuling's father, Zhou Yunlan, would now have been accepted as a guest elder by Icewind Valley.

Otherwise, Shen Tianfeng would have already used his cultivation level to force Zhou Yuling to marry his eldest disciple, Ling Feng.

Ling Feng originally wanted to show off his strength in front of Zhou Yuling.

However, ever since they entered the Heavenly Demon Cave, they have encountered either second-tier demonic beasts or terrifying Foundation Establishment stage vengeful ghosts.

Now that they were in dire straits, Ling Feng glanced at his junior sister beside him, feeling somewhat regretful and disappointed.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to take my junior sister down by force. If I had absorbed the profound yin essence within her, I would have already advanced from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, dealing with these second-tier Yin spirits and vengeful ghosts would be a piece of cake.

Now, Ling Feng's eyes are filled only with despair and regret.

Just as the group was in despair, a figure suddenly appeared.

This person was none other than Song Daoxuan.

The spiritual energy within Song Daoxuan's body was rapidly being depleted.

A flash of light appeared on his hand, and several sword lights immediately emerged from his storage bag.

With a burst of energy, he pierced through the Foundation Establishment stage ghosts that kept rushing towards him.

In an instant, these vengeful spirits were forced to retreat, and the situation was reversed in a flash.

The woman in the blue robe caught sight of this scene. She was slightly taken aback, not knowing who this person was, but she had a sense of familiarity with him.

However, he quickly compared this person's face shape and height with the person he had guessed from his memory.

The woman in the blue robe couldn't help but smile through her tears: "Brother Song, is that you? So many years have passed, Yuling has missed you so much!"

"Everyone, there's no need to hold back. Please follow me and quickly defeat these evil spirits!" Song Daoxuan did not respond to the woman; his voice remained deep and resonant throughout the entire Heavenly Demon Cave.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators all nodded slightly.

Whether it was talismans, spells, or so-called magical artifacts, they were all used on the vengeful spirits. With Song Daoxuan's cooperation, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, not a single vengeful spirit that had surrounded the cultivators was left alive.
