Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

This vortex was extremely domineering and so huge that it was impossible to resist, dragging his soul into it.

Even several Nascent Soul cultivators frowned at this moment.

If they don't leave quickly, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might find it difficult to escape.

"save..."

Qin Wugou had just uttered a single word.

Chi Lianjun unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, which struck Qin Wugou directly.

This time, instead of saving anyone, it did nothing.

Instead, it pushed Qin Wugou directly into that vortex.

"ah!"

A scream was heard, then the scream abruptly stopped.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator was instantly swallowed up.

In other words, shortly after they arrived, a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage had already perished.

Su Chen snorted coldly.

Chi Lianjun's move was indeed decisive.

They used a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to feed this vortex, in exchange for a moment of peace for everyone.

Even a child could figure it out.

How cruel this cultivation world is! It's a world where the strong prey on the weak, and low-level cultivators are treated like dirt.

How could a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators allow a junior to come in and share the treasure?

The fact that they managed to get this guy to come in means they already planned to use him as cannon fodder at a crucial moment.

Unfortunately, there are always some people who just can't understand this.

Chi Ling turned pale with fright.

"Chen...Brother Chen, I..."

Chi Ling's voice trembled.

Su Chen did not turn around.

"Don't be afraid."

Just two words.

But Su Chen had no reason to protect him indefinitely, given how dangerous the place was.

It's just that this kid had the opportunity to think of me, so I can only do my best to protect him.

But if it really comes down to a critical moment, Su Chen has no reason to risk his life for this kid.

...

After the vengeful spirits dissipated, everyone finally landed in the meteorite crater.

At the bottom of the pit, there were many dark, scrap iron pieces scattered around.

Su Chen picked up a piece and weighed it in his hand.

Shen.

This is meteorite iron.

The quality is ordinary, but it is a good material for forging precious artifacts.

The key point is that there are quite a few of them in this pit.

No one cared about anything else and started picking things up.

Chi Lianjun is the most greedy.

With a sweep of his arms, a person could occupy most of the space.

Granny Gu was unwilling to comply.

The bone staff slammed heavily on the ground, and a surge of corpse energy rose up.

The three puppet corpses stepped forward simultaneously, their chilling aura pressing down upon them.

It looked like the two old monsters in the late stage of Nascent Soul were about to fight over this pile of scrap iron.

"They're already killing each other before even reaching the middle ranks?"

Bai Luwei gave a cold rebuke.

"idiot."

That's all.

That actually made those two ruthless old monsters speechless.

This desolate wasteland is merely the outer perimeter.

The truly good stuff is all hidden inside.

If we engage in internal strife and weaken our strength, wouldn't that just benefit others for nothing?

Chi Lianjun reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Grandma Bone also put her bone cane back on.

Su Chen discreetly put the piece of meteorite iron in his hand into his storage bag.

These people all appeared to be on friendly terms.

Deep down, they've all been carrying knives in their hearts for a long time.

It seems I need to make plans soon.

...

At the edge of the wilderness lies a massive, circular mountain pass.

After passing through the mountain pass, the scenery changed once again.

A corridor, suspended in the void.

"Star Trail Corridor"

"The corridors are barely connected by starlight bridges that only occasionally twinkle."

"That bridge is extremely unstable."

Granny Bone reminded her again.

Su Chen had been holding back for a long time.

At this moment, he could no longer hold back and had to ask the old woman why she was so familiar with this place.

But before Su Chen could speak...

"Grandma Bone seems to know this place very well!"

"And the people here seem very curious about why you are so familiar with this place."

"What's even more interesting is that Chi Lian doesn't seem to be curious about this at all."

"It's inevitable that others will think that the two of you are having some kind of secret."

Bai Luwei, who is usually taciturn, actually asked Su Chen all the questions he wanted to ask.

"hehe!"

"Don't worry about that, I can guarantee it!"

"The benefits gained here are all divided equally."

"Furthermore, I have absolutely no ill intentions or malicious intent towards any of you fellow cultivators!"

At that moment, Granny Bone said something.

Yao Ji was no ordinary being; naturally, she had no desire to play any tricks on these people.

They decided to directly suppress Granny Bone and Crimson Flame.

In this way, the initiative is in your own hands.

Just as a wave of spiritual pressure spread out, Su Chen stopped it with a glance.

Su Chen's meaning was clear: he did not want Yao Ji to take action.

I want to see what other tricks these two old folks have up their sleeves.

More importantly, if we act now, we might miss out on any extraordinary opportunities that come our way.

Yao Ji then withdrew her spiritual power.

The group walked to the widest section of the corridor.

"Buzz".

On both sides of the corridor, a group of elemental creatures formed from dense star marrow appeared.

Star Marrow Beasts are not unfamiliar in the cultivation world.

Almost everyone knows they exist.

But this creature went extinct tens of thousands of years ago.

Therefore, they are usually seen in ancient books and illustrations.

As soon as those things appeared, they pounced on the group with fierce attacks.

But this thing is a treasure from head to toe!

Their cores are somewhat similar to the beast cores of demonic beasts, making them excellent materials for refining high-level pills.

Once this thing appeared, the actors stopped acting altogether.

No wonder, even if there is an incredible opportunity later, we absolutely cannot miss this thing in front of us!

With a wave of her slender hand...

An extremely cold spiritual energy instantly leveled the surroundings.

The Tai Xu Xuan Bing Jin is the supreme martial art of Bai Luwei's sect.

As the Holy Maiden of the sect, she had gained some fame among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xuanhuang Continent by using this technique.

The entire area within the radius was frozen.

Several Star Marrow Beasts were instantly frozen into ice blocks.

Chi Lianjun chuckled, flipped his hands, and a torrent of earth fire erupted forth. Granny Bone didn't hesitate either...

...

Regardless of the circumstances, it was ultimately several Nascent Soul cultivators who made the move.

In a short while, all the Star Marrow Beasts were wiped out.

The group quickly divided up the Star Marrow Beast's corpse.

Chiling, standing to the side, didn't dare to move an inch.

He now realized that trying to take the treasure from these people meant he didn't want to leave alive.

"Brother Chen, that White Fairy..."

"I heard that what she really cared about during this trip was something deep inside this middle level."

"Buried within a shattered star core, frozen solid enough to crack the void, lies chaotic, mysterious ice."

"That thing is the most precious treasure used to refine her natal magic weapon, the Glazed Ice Lamp."

"Perhaps it can even help her break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

These words were, of course, meant to remind Su Chen.

After all, Su Chen is the only one in the entire arena who can protect him right now.

It's better to let Su Chen know about any opportunities that may arise in advance.

A shattered star core.

This piqued Su Chen's interest.

This Ice Goddess doesn't seem like someone from a pond.

Seeing Bai Luwei flee in one direction, Su Chen followed.

...

Bai Luwei's shield flashed and stopped in front of a huge rift.

Deep within the crack, there was indeed a broken star core.

The cold air was so intense that it made your bones ache even from a great distance.

Su Chen followed far behind, and then stopped as well.

The other old guys were also busy searching for treasures and had no time to pay attention to Su Chen and this woman.
