A Mortal's Supporting Character's Different Kind of Cultivation

At this moment, Lu Yunfeng was in the only valley in the southwest direction leading to the center of the forbidden area. Several cultivators from the Spirit Beast Mountain, led by a burly man with his entire body covered in spirit beast pouches at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, blocked Lu Yunfeng's way.

Lu Yunfeng frowned, saying nothing. With a flick of his wrist, the Wind and Fire Banner burst forth, releasing a wind dragon and a fire python. With another flick, the wind dragon and fire python merged, transforming into a Wind and Fire Dragon several tens of feet long, which pressed down upon the Yu Ling Sect members. Before the Wind and Fire Dragon even reached their faces, its scorching heat already made their mouths dry.

The people of Spirit Beast Mountain didn't expect Lu Yunfeng to dare to make the first move despite seeing so many people. They immediately scrambled to open their spirit beast bags and set up protective shields. The burly man, covered in spirit beast bags, was furious. One of his black spirit beast bags was wide open, and a snow-white spider several feet in size rushed out. As soon as the snow-white spider appeared, the originally scorching valley immediately cooled down, and a cold current began to spread outward from the burly man.

The snow-white spider immediately leaped into the air, spitting out snow-white spider silk as it began to fight the wind and fire dragon.

The burly man breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the snow-white spider block the wind and fire dragon. His expression immediately turned serious, and he hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, this is all a misunderstanding. Why take action so quickly?"

Lu Yunfeng poured spiritual power into the Wind and Fire Banner again, and two more Wind and Fire Dragons broke out of the banner, staring menacingly at the Yu Ling Sect members. Lu Yunfeng remained expressionless, took out a low-level high-grade Ice Cone Talisman and began chanting incantations, ignoring the burly man's words.

Seeing that Lu Yunfeng didn't respond, the burly man was furious. He immediately ordered the other two cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain to attack Lu Yunfeng. The burly man also released two dark green venomous snakes, which immediately took to the air and spewed green poisonous mist towards Lu Yunfeng. A tall, thin young man with a pockmarked face summoned a swarm of poisonous bees, which buzzed and rushed towards Lu Yunfeng along with the snakes. Finally, the Spirit Beast Mountain cultivator released a swarm of gray moths. The moths flapped their wings and immediately released a gray mist that was about to envelop the three of them. The three of them were indeed from the same sect, and they joined forces instantly. The three of them also held defensive talismans in their hands, ready to release them at any time.

Seeing the venomous snakes and bees charging menacingly, Lu Yunfeng remained calm. With a flick of his wrist, two wind and fire dragons immediately stepped forward, spewing wind and fire power to repel the two venomous creatures. After Lu Yunfeng finished chanting the incantation, an ice spike appeared, encasing the Ice Soul Pearl, and rushed towards the burly man with lightning speed.

As the burly man watched the gray mist envelop him, he took out a protective talisman to add a layer of security. Immediately, he heard a whooshing sound, felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then his consciousness fell into permanent silence.

The pockmarked young man stared in horror at the burly man's corpse lying on the ground, his shoulders and head gone. Terrified, he immediately used his invisibility technique to jump up a tree and run away, even abandoning the poisonous bees he had released. Before the last cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain could react, he was suddenly all alone, somewhat at a loss.

Taking advantage of the moment when its master died, the Wind and Fire Dragon, which was fighting with the snow-white spider, paused for a moment and, taking advantage of the spider's unpreparedness, instantly enveloped it, preparing to refine it. The poisonous bees and snakes, without their master's command, were also instantly burned to charcoal by the combined force of wind and fire and fell to the ground. After burning the two creatures to death, the two Wind and Fire Dragons did not lose momentum and merged into one dragon, heading towards the fleeing youth.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The last cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain reacted, let out a strange cry, and prepared to escape on his moth.

Before he could even take off, the Wind and Fire Dragon, having refined the Snow White Spider, enveloped him. Immediately, a fiery red fireball appeared in the sky, emitting rumbling sounds and radiating intense heat.

Not long after, the fireball fell silent. Lu Yunfeng withdrew the dragon, and several storage bags fell out.

Lu Yunfeng stepped forward and collected the storage bags from the man and the burly man. Looking at the burly man whose upper body had been blown apart, Lu Yunfeng waved his hand, and a blue-white bead emitting a cold aura immediately flew out from the frozen corpse—the Ice Soul Bead.

After obtaining the Ice Soul Pearl, Lu Yunfeng studied it for a long time and developed a technique that combined talismans with the Ice Soul Pearl. He combined the Ice Cone Technique with the Ice Soul Pearl, increasing the speed and hardness of the Ice Cone Technique, turning it into a powerful move. However, its weakness was also obvious: its power would be greatly reduced if it encountered defensive spells or magical artifacts. However, the fact that the three of them did not activate their defenses immediately gave Lu Yunfeng an opportunity.

After putting away his storage bag, Lu Yunfeng stood there for a long time. "Come out, sir. You've been waiting for so long, are you perhaps looking to snag a bargain?" Lu Yunfeng said to a thicket of bushes as tall as a person.

After waiting for a while, Lu Yunfeng said, "Does Your Excellency think I'm trying to trick you? Do you insist on dragging Your Excellency out of here?" His expression turned cold, and the spiritual power of the Wind and Fire Banner in his hand was greatly displayed, with waves of scorching aura spreading out.

"Haha, fellow Daoist is truly astute! I was hiding so well, how did you discover me? I hope you can enlighten me." A young man dressed in a Daoist robe emerged from the bushes.

"Hmph, I never talk to dead people." Lu Yunfeng said, walking forward, the Wind and Fire Banner in his hand bursting out with an even hotter aura than before.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, why bother? We have no grudges against each other, why fight like this? It only benefits others. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. Let's part ways here and meet again." With that, the young man's figure floated away.

Lu Yunfeng squinted as he watched the young man leave the valley and head towards a grove of trees.

If this person hadn't been on guard and kept a distance from Lu Yunfeng, Lu Yunfeng would still have wanted to kill him. It's never a good thing to have someone constantly keeping an eye on you.

Lu Yunfeng put away the chilling talisman he had been holding behind his back. After checking his surroundings and finding nothing amiss, he summoned the corpses of several demonic beasts from the ground, storing them all into the small, blood-red gourd he had been holding back. Confirming everything was in order, Lu Yunfeng headed out of the valley. Once outside, he finally saw the pockmarked young man who had fled.

The young man faced the ground, a large hole torn open in his chest. The area around the hole was dark and charred by the power of wind and fire. He still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Wind and Fire Dragon. After putting away his storage bag, Lu Yunfeng found a direction and quickly left.

The entire forbidden area witnessed its first climax of slaughter, with all sorts of powerful figures taking action and sweeping away the lower-level disciples. The closer to the center, the more intense the killing became. The experts from various sects tacitly refrained from intervening, only clearing out the lower-level cultivators of their respective sects.

Some people saw the situation clearly, protected themselves wisely, and withdrew, while others failed to recognize the situation and plunged headlong into the vortex of fighting for the elixir, only to end up with nothing but their bones.

People like Lu Yunfeng, who are truly given hope by the leaders of various factions, will go on a killing spree in the last three days in an effort to bring out more spiritual medicines for each faction.

Lu Yunfeng recovered his spiritual power in the tree canopy and opened his eyes. "That Taoist was really cautious. He held back twice and didn't launch a sneak attack on me. If he hadn't been gathering his spiritual power and leaking it, I really wouldn't have noticed him. It seems that this trip to the forbidden area is really full of hidden dangers. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed. It seems that I still have to be more careful."

Lu Yunfeng recalled the map and left in one direction.
