Chapter 115 This kid is incredibly slippery.
Zhong Lingxin nodded and then asked, "I remember you said you could help me purify my spiritual roots. Is that true or not?"
Zhong Chun replied, “That’s true. The Nine-Layered Pagoda is the culmination of my life’s work. I’ve put all the rare and precious materials I could find, and all the functions I could think of, into it. You’ve probably gone up to the third floor. On the third floor, there are all sorts of pill formulas that I’ve put inside, as well as a ninth-grade immortal pill furnace. There should be a pill formula for purifying spiritual roots inside.”
Zhong Lingxin frowned. Zhong Chun was from the Immortal Realm, and his pill formulas were probably all immortal pill formulas. Even if she had those pill formulas in the Immortal Spirit Realm, she probably wouldn't be able to find any immortal plants.
Zhong Chun realized this as well, and he dared not speak again, only lowering his head.
Zhong Lingxin glanced at him, realizing that the essence of the jade marrow was gone.
Exchanging a piece of jade essence for Zhong Chun's awakening isn't a bad deal, is it?
Zhong Chun nodded hurriedly: "Master, it's worth it. Now we can enter the Nine-Story Pagoda. Now that I'm awake, the first floor of the Nine-Story Pagoda is open."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxin's mind sank into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast, barren plain. It was neatly leveled and divided into plots, but each plot was covered with only withered branches and leaves.
The entire tower was devoid of life.
Zhong Chun entered the tower and chuckled, "Master, there's nothing I can do. I fell asleep, and no one is taking care of the tower. All the medicinal herbs have died."
There used to be a Lingquan River over there, but it's dried up now.
Hehe, hehe! Master, I am still a soul. If you bring in spiritual herbs and springs, I will take care of them for you.
Actually, you could also bury spirit ore. The first two who obtained the Nine-Layered Pagoda only moved a few spirit herbs and fruits over. As for the spirit spring, they carried the water in, not dug the spring itself, otherwise it wouldn't have dried up like this.
Zhong Lingxin nodded, agreeing that they definitely needed to bring in some spiritual springs and minerals.
So she asked Zhong Chun, "How will the spiritual spring and spiritual ore be moved in?"
Zhong Chun replied, "First, determine the scope of the spiritual spring and spiritual ore, then concentrate your mind and move the spiritual spring and spiritual ore directly in. However, since you have only just established your foundation, you cannot move the larger ones. You can only move the smaller ones."
Zhong Lingxin nodded; she could sense that spiritual energy was slowly condensing within the Nine-Story Pagoda.
This is probably why the Nine-Story Pagoda is only just now open to people.
She moved in a large pile of jade boxes, filled with first and second-grade spiritual herbs and fruits that she and her friends had collected. She planned to plant them to help the Nine-Layered Pagoda recover its spiritual energy.
Zhong Chun happily bent over and went to work in the fields.
It's clear that he's a skilled worker now.
I've become so skilled at it that I can't tell whether I like it or not.
Zhong Lingxin ignored him and left the Nine-Story Pagoda with Huanhuan and Lele.
Five remnant souls are still trapped inside the cave.
These five remnant souls had been trapped in the array for a year and were already exhausted.
With a flicker of thought, Zhong Lingxin separated them all and began to tidy them up one by one.
Next, she observed the outside for a long time to make sure there was no movement before attaching an invisibility talisman, dispelling the illusion array, and quietly leaving.
She looked up into the distance.
Having not left the cave for a year, the ancient battlefield remained as dark and gloomy as ever.
Having chosen a direction, she strolled forward.
Along the way, she noticed that a large group of cultivators might have come by, leaving traces of their passages and signs of mining various spiritual herbs and minerals.
Zhong Lingxin followed in other people's footsteps.
After walking for about half a month, she saw several wounded monks fleeing rapidly ahead.
Zhong Lingxin dodged to the side and hid.
Soon, several cultivators dressed in black robes caught up with them.
These are several heretical practitioners.
Zhong Lingxin thought for a moment, changed into a set of men's clothing, put on a jade pendant to conceal her breath, and then turned around and followed behind the evil cultivator.
The injured cultivators stumbled and staggered as they ran, probably because they had run out of pills and hadn't taken any healing pills or spirit-replenishing pills.
Several heretical cultivators quickly caught up with them.
The cultivators running ahead could only throw out a protective array, and several cultivators then burrowed into the protective array.
Seeing this, the evil cultivators each brandished their magical weapons and began fighting around the protective array.
Zhong Lingxin, hiding behind a boulder, could see clearly that the cultivators' protective array could only last for a quarter of an hour at most.
The evil cultivators became more and more excited as they attacked, and they laughed wildly with excitement.
"Gagaga, I want the leader, his soul is mine."
"I want the youngest one. Don't kill him. I want to torture him slowly and severely so that his soul will become vicious."
"Then give me the one who is most seriously injured. He might not be able to endure it for long; he's about to give up."
"You've all taken your share, so give me the last one. There are only a few of these junior cultivators left."
"..."
Zhong Lingxin checked the invisibility talisman and quietly slipped inside.
When she was about ten feet away from the evil cultivators, she flicked her hand and released two explosive talismans, killing two of them first.
Then, she raised a golden light in her hand and struck the third evil cultivator.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators inside the defensive formation hurriedly left the formation and attacked the evil cultivator as well.
Caught between two attacks, the third heretical cultivator also died quickly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining three evil cultivators all used teleportation talismans to run away.
Ignoring the shouts of thanks from the cultivators behind her, Zhong Lingxin picked up the magic rings of the three evil cultivators, conjured a teleportation talisman, and chased after one of the evil cultivators.
That evil cultivator had extremely rich combat experience. Hearing the wind whistling behind him, he threw an explosive talisman at Zhong Lingxin as soon as he landed. Without turning his head, he crushed a teleportation talisman as well.
Zhong Lingxin was momentarily stopped by the evil cultivator's explosive talisman, and there was no point in continuing the pursuit.
She dodged to the side in a flash, and at the same time, she threw an explosive talisman on the spot.
A black light flashed where she landed.
Immediately afterward, a tall, thin figure appeared.
With a loud bang, the tall, thin figure let out a muffled groan.
Behind him, a woman's voice exclaimed, "Big Brother!"
Zhong Lingxin ignored the voices behind her and ran away quickly.
As a lone Foundation Establishment cultivator, all she could do was use invisibility and concealment talismans to ambush enemies. When facing a powerful foe, it was best to hide first.
Soon, five people appeared beside the tall, thin figure.
The tall, thin figure said angrily, "Damn it, he got away!"
The female voice said, "Big brother, did you see who it is?"
The tall, thin figure shook his head: "No, we just saw the explosion of the talisman. When we arrived, we saw Wu Ji and the others being killed. That kid is very slippery. He was covered by invisibility and concealment talismans, so we couldn't see him at all."
Another male voice said, "This kid has never appeared in this area. His sword techniques are just ordinary golden sword techniques. I can't tell which sect he belongs to."
The tall, thin figure known as the eldest brother said, "Tell the brothers to be careful. This must be a newly arrived elite disciple from a major sect. The explosive talismans he throws out are all fourth-grade."
