After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Sure enough, a smaller Swiftwind Wolf was running wildly through the forest; it seemed to have sensed danger.

Its four hooves flew, moving at an astonishing speed, leaving only a blue afterimage in its wake.

"Trying to run away?"

Lin Fengmian chuckled lightly, then used the Nine Transformations of Illusion to pursue the enemy like a gentle breeze.

The swift wolf seemed to realize it couldn't catch up, and suddenly its entire body flashed with a blue light.

He actually used his innate divine ability, "Wind Release"!

Its figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, appearing dozens of feet away in an instant, before solidifying again.

"Wow, you can run pretty fast."

Lin Fengmian was not alarmed but rather pleased, for this Wind Escape technique was remarkably similar to his Nine Transformations of Illusion.

If one can glean some insight from it, it might even allow one to further improve their movement techniques.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill, and just followed behind at a leisurely pace.

While chasing, they observed the rhythm of the Gale Wolf's supernatural abilities.

Once, twice, three times...

The Gale Wolf used Wind Release five or six times in succession, and its speed gradually slowed down.

After all, this kind of supernatural power consumes a great deal of energy, and with its cultivation level, it cannot sustain it for long.

Finally, in the instant it solidified its form once again, it was exhausted.

A glint flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes, and he pointed forward with his fingers like a sword!

"call out!"

The Little Heavenly Gang Sword shot out and pierced through the head of the Gale Wolf!

"Bang!"

The wolf carcass crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Fengmian stepped forward, pulled out the fangs, clapped his hands, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"This monster can really run fast."

He looked up and around, only to realize that he had unknowingly ventured into an unfamiliar area.

Ancient trees towered all around, and the spiritual energy was several times denser than in the surrounding area, indicating that we were already close to the depths of the mountain range.

Lin Fengmian was about to turn and leave when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Not far ahead, on the cliff face, a spiritual herb with a pale purple glow was swaying in the wind!

The herb was only about a foot tall, with oval-shaped leaves edged in gold.

At the top grows a purple fruit the size of a thumb.

It is crystal clear, with a faint glow flowing through it.

"This is... a purple-veined agave?!"

Lin Fengmian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Purple-veined Agave, a superior-grade second-tier spiritual medicine!

It is the main ingredient for refining the "Purple Essence Pill" to enhance cultivation!

The value of a single plant is at least tens of thousands of spirit stones!

More importantly, he had previously learned second-order alchemy from Yun Caiyue. If he could refine the Purple Essence Pill, his chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage would be even greater!

"It's out!"

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed and strode towards the spiritual herb.

However, just as he was about to reach out and pick it...

"stop!"

A sharp shout suddenly rang out!

Lin Fengmian frowned and turned to look.

A woman dressed in a light pink dress emerged from the woods. She had a graceful figure and was considered to be of above-average appearance.

But at this moment, that face was full of arrogance and disdain.

His gaze was fixed intently on the purple-veined agave, as if he already considered it his for the taking.

Her gaze swept over Lin Fengmian, and when she saw his outer disciple's robes,

The contempt in his eyes deepened.

"Here's a hundred spirit stones. This medicinal herb is mine now. Get out of here."

The woman raised her chin, her tone full of condescension.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow slightly.

One hundred spirit stones? This purple-veined agave is worth at least tens of thousands on the market.

One hundred spirit stones can't even buy a single leaf.

Is this person trying to fool themselves?

He chuckled softly, not annoyed, and simply said:

"Senior sister, there's an order to things, isn't there? I discovered this medicinal herb first."

"First come, first served?" The woman sneered as if she had heard a joke.

"Open your eyes and look! I'm wearing the robes of an inner disciple; I'm an inner disciple of the Pill Refining Peak! I said give it to me, so I mean give it to me!"

She stepped forward, looking down at Lin Fengmian with disdain in her eyes:

"Besides, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount. I'm only giving you one hundred spirit stones out of consideration for our shared sect; that's more than enough."

"If you know what's good for you, take the spirit stones and get lost; if you don't... hmph, you won't even get these hundred spirit stones!"

As she spoke, spiritual energy surged around her, revealing that she was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

Lin Fengmian looked at her arrogant and domineering appearance and was speechless.

Danyao Peak?

Isn't that the peak where Master Yunhe sat?

Luckily, I didn't go.

What are all these things?!

Too lazy to waste any more words, he simply reached out and uprooted the purple-veined agave, then put it into his storage bag.

"you--!"

Upon seeing this, the woman's face instantly turned ashen!

She never expected that even after she revealed her identity as an inner disciple, this good-for-nothing from the outer sect would still dare to make a move!

"court death!"

She roared angrily, her hands flashing through a series of hand seals.

A fierce fire serpent materialized out of thin air, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Lin Fengmian!

Lin Fengmian didn't turn his head, but just snorted coldly.

He didn't use any magic, and he didn't even bother to dodge.

With a simple punch, he met the fire serpent head-on!

"Bang!"

The fist whistled through the air, and the fiery snake scattered in response!

"Body cultivation?"

She stared in horror at the fist in front of her, her whole body frozen in place.

However, before she could even catch her breath—

"Buzz—!"

A sharp whooshing sound came from behind!

Those are flying swords!

She instinctively turned around and saw a crimson-gold flying sword swoop down like a startled swan, its blade humming and its aura chilling!

"Water Shield!"

She screamed and frantically made hand seals, and a curtain of azure water condensed in front of her!

however--

"Pfft!"

The water shield, which was strong enough to withstand a blow from a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator, crumbled as easily as paper in front of that flying sword!

The flying sword pierced straight into her arm!

Blood splattered everywhere!

"ah--!"

The woman screamed and staggered back several steps.

He clutched the deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with disbelief!

She looked up at the figure in the blue robe who still had his back to her.

The terror in his eyes instantly transformed into boundless rage and murderous intent!

"Senior brother! Aren't you going to make a move?! Kill this bastard!"

As soon as the words fell—

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

Lin Fengmian's expression hardened, and he abruptly turned his head to look.

A figure slowly emerged from the forest.

He was a young man in his late twenties.

With a cold and stern face, sinister eyes, and an aura that sends chills down your spine, he is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

He was dressed in the robes of an inner disciple, with a jade pendant engraved with the character "Dan" hanging from his waist.

Clearly, he holds a high position on Danyao Peak.

He walked up to the woman, glanced at the wound on her arm, and his face instantly turned ashen.

"Kid, do you want to die?"

He stared at Lin Fengmian, his voice as cold as frost, "Dare to harm my Daoist partner?"

Lin Fengmian frowned deeply; he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

With his current strength, he might have a chance of winning if he went all out, but the cost would be enormous.

But is it worth it for such a miraculous herb?

Lin Fengmian's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.

He suddenly sneered, his figure blurred, and he retreated rapidly backward!
