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

She saw that scene clearly.

That talisman...

And that punch...

This person was much stronger than she had imagined.

Lin Fengmian let out a long breath and put the Taixiao Mirror away.

The talisman in his hand had dimmed somewhat.

The mirror pattern on it has also become a bit blurry.

Lin Fengmian felt a pang of heartache.

This talisman can't be used more than a few times anyway.

Now that it's been used again, it's likely that it only has two or three more uses left.

But no way.

In that situation just now, without using a talisman, I would have been worn down to death.

not to mention......

He glanced at the veiled woman not far away.

This woman is no pushover either.

If I exhaust all my spiritual energy, what if she has some malicious intentions...?

It's always good to keep some cards up your sleeve.

He shook his head and put the dim talisman back into his storage bag.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he sucked the young man's storage bag into his palm.

There should be a lot of good stuff inside.

He was about to examine the giant wolf's carcass—

A cool, delicate fragrance suddenly wafted from behind.

Lin Fengmian paused, then turned his head away.

The veiled woman had somehow appeared beside him.

She stood there quietly, no more than three feet away from him.

Under the moonlight, her exquisite figure was faintly visible.

Although her face was obscured by the thin veil, her eyes were as cold and clear as the stars in the heavens.

Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine.

That woman is so fast!

With his current level of spiritual awareness, he didn't even notice her approaching!

His expression remained unchanged; in fact, a smile even appeared on his face.

"Fairy, what brings you here?"

The veiled woman remained silent.

She simply lowered her head slightly and looked at the dead giant wolf on the ground.

After a moment, she finally spoke.

His voice was clear and cool, like a mountain spring.

It is pleasant to hear and melodious.

But what he said made Lin Fengmian frown.

"This wolf is mine."

Lin Fengmian was stunned.

Immediately, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Is this woman sick in the head?

You killed the wolf yourself, didn't you?

Although he had long since realized that this giant wolf was extraordinary

able to command so many monsters

This level of monster is a treasure trove from head to toe!

Not to mention that it might even contain the inner core of a demon beast!

That's the inner core of a second-tier demon beast, priceless!

I worked so hard to kill it, why should it belong to her?

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

However, given the other party's mysterious nature, I still tried my best to keep my tone polite:

"Fairy, I killed that monster."

The veiled woman didn't even lift her eyelids:

"I saw it."

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

You saw it and you still want it?

"What does that fairy mean by?" he asked with a forced smile.

"Trying to steal it?"

The veiled woman finally raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently.

His gaze was as cold as water, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"I can exchange it for spirit stones."

Lin Fengmian refused outright.

"No way, I don't really know how much this monster is worth. What if you rip me off? You just give me a few tens of thousands of spirit stones and call me a day? Who can I complain to then?"

The veiled woman's eyes turned slightly cold.

"I wouldn't stoop to lying to you."

His tone was indifferent, yet tinged with arrogance.

It was as if it were saying—you, a mere cultivator, dare to let me deceive you?

Lin Fengmian felt a surge of displeasure.

But he still had a smile on his face, only that smile was somewhat cold:

"What you're saying, fairy? We're complete strangers, why should I believe you?"

The veiled woman glanced at him but said nothing more.

But she didn't leave.

She just stood there quietly, as if she wouldn't leave unless Lin Fengmian agreed.

Lin Fengmian was in a real bind.

This woman's strength is unfathomable.

If things really turn sour, I might not necessarily come out on top.

But he was unwilling to just hand over the easy prize that was already in his grasp.

Just as the two were at an impasse...

"Click—"

A soft, crisp sound suddenly came from afar!

They both looked up at the same time!

That's the direction of that giant tree!

The pale golden light that had been covering the giant tree was now trembling violently!

Cracks are spreading across the light shield!

And the light at the top of the treetop grew brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling!

It was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it!

The light lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before gradually fading away.

Lin Fengmian and the veiled woman squinted at the same time, looking towards the top of the tree canopy.

After the light dissipated, a fruit the size of a fist was seen floating quietly above the tree canopy.

The fruit was crystal clear, as if it were carved from the purest jade.

A thin layer of white mist lingered on the surface!

Even more peculiar is that the space around the fruit seems to be slightly distorted because of its presence.

Mysterious Spirit Dao Fruit!

Lin Fengmian's pupils contracted slightly.

The veiled woman's gaze sharpened.

next moment--

With a wave of her hand, a flying sword of pure azure blue appeared out of thin air, its blade slender and shimmering with spiritual light.

With a stomp of her foot, she stood firmly on the flying sword.

It transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the treetop!

Upon seeing this, Lin Fengmian's eyes flashed with understanding.

This woman truly possesses divine consciousness!

Either they, like me, had consumed some rare and precious herbs and had opened their divine sense during the Qi Refining stage;

Or it is—

She's not a Qi Refining stage cultivator at all!

Instead, he concealed his cultivation level!

Lin Fengmian had no time to think. With a thought, the Lesser Heavenly Gang Sword in his dantian roared out and hovered in front of him.

He leaped into the air and landed firmly on the sword, channeling his spiritual energy and following closely behind!

Since we're already here, we should definitely give it a shot!

Although he knew this woman was no ordinary person, this was in a secret realm.

Even if she concealed her cultivation level, it couldn't possibly be that high.

Otherwise, the rules of the secret realm would directly exclude her!

The veiled woman noticed the movement behind her, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

She didn't turn around, but her hand gestures changed.

"boom--"

The surrounding air suddenly froze!

The next moment, countless water vapors condensed out of thin air in the void.

The water vapor surged wildly, instantly transforming into a giant water dragon!

The water dragon roared to the sky, carrying towering waves as it crashed fiercely towards Lin Fengmian!

Lin Fengmian snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding.

He made a hand seal, and the three flying swords in his dantian hummed simultaneously!

"Nine Heavens Profound Sword Technique!"

Three sharp and unparalleled sword energies shot out, intertwining in the air to form a sword net, slashing straight at the water dragon!

"Pfft—"

The moment the sword energy slashed into the water dragon, it cut it in half!

The water dragon's enormous body exploded with a roar, turning into a sky full of water mist that fell down.

The water spray splashed onto Lin Fengmian, but he only shook it slightly to disperse the water vapor.

Now that he is a second-tier body cultivator, he can basically ignore spells of this level.

The veiled woman's eyes flickered slightly.

She waved her hand again, and the scattered water vapor suddenly condensed.

It transformed into countless tiny ice needles, densely packed and covering the sky!

"go!"

The ice needles rained down, shooting straight towards Lin Fengmian!

Lin Fengmian made a hand seal, and three flying swords spun wildly in front of him, forming an impenetrable sword curtain!

"Ding ding ding ding—"

The ice needles struck the sword screen, producing a series of crisp sounds, but they couldn't penetrate it at all.

But Lin Fengmian also discovered the problem.
