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

"With so many Foundation Establishment Pills, I refuse to believe it won't fill your bottomless pit!"

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, looking at the neatly arranged Foundation Establishment Pills in front of him, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

If one isn't enough, then ten will do!

He refused to believe that his five spiritual roots could really be so useless!

Lin Fengmian then took out ten pills and put them all into his mouth.

"Boom boom boom—!"

This is completely different now!

Previously, a Foundation Establishment Pill was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating a small ripple.

Now there are ten pebbles! They've created a huge splash!

The immense medicinal power surged through his body like a flood bursting its banks!

One stick of incense... two sticks of incense...

The effects of the medicine gradually subsided.

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes, sensed his internal condition, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Grass!"

He cursed angrily.

My five spiritual roots shouldn't be too outrageous!

Eleven Foundation Establishment Pills already! If you fed them to pigs, they would have all reached Foundation Establishment by now!

I haven't even reached that level yet!

Lin Fengmian looked at the herbs in front of him. Although he still had two main herbs left, he didn't have many auxiliary herbs.

He took a deep breath to suppress his agitation.

If one isn't enough, then ten will do.

If ten isn't enough, then twenty will do!

He refused to believe that he couldn't build a path to heaven using elixirs!

Lin Fengmian then prepared to go out to find some auxiliary medicinal materials, and upon his return, he refined them all into Foundation Establishment Pills!

I'm going all in!

......

Lin Fengmian flashed away, leaving the jade pendant space, and then arrived at the mountain range, where he began frantically collecting spiritual herbs.

Lin Fengmian would take anything that could help his cultivation!

This area is rich in spiritual energy, and many kinds of spiritual herbs grow here. Although most of them are not of high quality, they are abundant.

Lin Fengmian was like a locust swarm passing through; wherever he went, he took everything that could be used as medicine.

On this day, Lin Fengmian was happily putting a pill into his storage bag.

"With this pill, we can refine another batch of Water Spirit Pills."

Lin Fengmian possesses five spiritual roots, meaning he can benefit from any type of pill, a rare advantage of having five spiritual roots.

Having all five elements means one can consume any kind of elixir and absorb any attribute.

Although cultivation is slow, it's not entirely without advantages if you really want to accumulate resources.

Just as Lin Fengmian was about to move on to the next place, a sound of fighting suddenly came from there.

And the sounds of hawking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian frowned and quietly crept over using a concealment technique.

Although his cultivation level is not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage, his ability to conceal his presence with the aura hidden by the Jade Pendant Space makes it difficult for even Foundation Establishment cultivators to find him without careful investigation.

Lin Fengmian moved silently through the mountains and forests like a ghost, and soon approached the direction from which the sounds of fighting were coming.

He parted the branches and leaves in front of him and looked up.

In mid-air, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle.

When Lin Fengmian saw one of the figures clearly, his pupils contracted slightly.

Isn't this Xiao Xiyue, the personal disciple I was when I entered the outer sect assessment?

The other person was dressed in a light blue palace gown, which accentuated her exquisite figure.

She was stunningly beautiful, with features so exquisite they seemed straight out of a painting, her face forever as cold as ice, keeping everyone at arm's length.

But at this moment, there were several wounds on her dress, with blood seeping out, clearly indicating that she had been in a fierce battle!

Opposite her stood a young man who looked very gloomy.

The young man had a sinister face and lewd eyes. He held a small flag about the size of a palm, its surface pitch black, with ghostly shadows faintly swirling around it.

He was holding that small flag, constantly releasing ghosts to wear down Xiao Xiyue, while chuckling softly to himself.

"Xiao Xiyue, you are only at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Stop resisting and just submit to me."

The young man sneered inwardly.

I had long heard that the other party possessed an exceptional dual cultivation physique—the Profound Yin Physique!

If I obtain the other party's Profound Yin Origin, I might be able to reach the mid-stage of Core Formation in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes scanning down without any attempt to conceal his gaze.

Not only is the other person in excellent physical condition, but their appearance and figure are also very radiant.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Xiyue let out a delicate shout, and with a swift swing of her longsword, she cleaved the approaching ghosts into nothingness.

Her face was already somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead.

After fighting for so long, her spiritual energy was greatly depleted, while her opponent, relying on that strange soul banner, maintained a war of attrition.

"Hehehe, that's not up to you."

The young man snorted coldly, then looked at the other person.

The next moment, he made a hand seal, and the small black flag suddenly unfurled!

An invisible wave spread out from the flag, instantly enveloping Xiao Xiyue!

Xiao Xiyue's legs tightened, and a muffled groan escaped from her delicate nose.

A warm current surged up involuntarily.

Her cheeks flushed an unnatural red instantly, and her breathing became rapid.

But he still tried to appear calm, even the sword in his hand was trembling slightly!

The heat surged through her body like countless ants crawling on her, causing both itchiness and numbness, making it almost impossible for her to hold the sword.

Upon seeing this, the young man burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, how does it feel to be struck by my 'Soulful Desire'?"

He laughed wildly, his eyes full of smugness.

"Does it feel like you're experiencing ecstasy?"

"Come here, I can help you find liberation! Hahahaha..."

He laughed unrestrainedly, as if he could already see Xiao Xiyue obediently throwing herself into his arms.

however--

The next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiyue's aura changed!

A chilling aura suddenly erupted from her body, and her entire being began to radiate an aura of millennia-old ice!

Xiao Xiyue's already cold face became even colder at this moment!

Like a fairy descending from the cold palace of the heavens, she is breathtaking!

"The Supreme Technique of Forgetting Emotions!"

Xiao Xiyue snorted coldly, and the long sword in her hand was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost. The air around the sword condensed into fine ice crystals due to the extreme cold!

She unleashed a sword strike!

"boom--!"

The magnificent sword energy was like a frost dragon, and wherever it passed, the surrounding air seemed to freeze!

He slashed fiercely at the youth!

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shielded the small flag in front of him!

He frantically channeled his spiritual power, and countless ghosts surged out from the flag, rushing towards the sword energy like moths to a flame!

However, that sword energy was incomparably magnificent!

The moment those ghosts made contact, they were frozen into ice sculptures, and then shattered with a crash!

Even ghosts couldn't get close; they were instantly frozen!
