Chapter 29: Dispelling Doubts

  "Rumble!"

  A loud voice rang out, Li Mu was blasted through the body by a yellow light, fresh blood gushing out, wave after wave of pungent bloody smell wafted through the Spiritual Medicine Valley, mixed with the fragrance of spiritual medicine.

  Li Mu was killed by Wang Fei with one move!

  Until his death, Li Mu never knew why he would lose to Wang Fei.

  Looking at Li Mu's miserable appearance before his death, Wang Fei's expression was calm and indifferent, without any joy, anger or sorrow.

  It's not that Wang Fei is cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, but he was forced to do so for survival. Li Mu Lian even dared to kill his fellow comrades-in-arms, let alone those who had offended him, moreover, it was the other party who made the first move, and Wang Fei would not have any mercy.

  Then, Wang Fei brushed off the dust on his sleeves and came before the corpse.

  Wang Fei closed his eyes, concentrated his spiritual energy on the Devouring Spiritual Root, and in an instant, the Devouring Spiritual Root moved, shooting out from Wang Fei's palm, extending a tendril that pierced into Li Mu's corpse.

  A strand of crimson, about the thickness of a small finger, was extracted from the spiritual root body and entered Wang Fei's body along the tentacles that swallowed the spiritual root. At the same time, without Wang Fei's knowledge, a fine stream of spiritual energy surged out of the spiritual root and entered the jade stone inside the spiritual pearl.

  "Five-element fire spirit root, not bad!"

  After absorbing the spiritual root, Wang Fei slightly circulated his cultivation mantra and felt a large amount of spiritual energy surging into his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. Judging from this situation, his future cultivation would be even faster.

  "Come on, kid, stop stalling! I just infused your body with spiritual energy. There's a thin thread of connection; some advanced cultivators might have sensed the anomaly here. Hurry up and finish what you need to do so we can leave!"

  Suddenly, a slightly urgent voice came from the jade stone. Wang Fei's eyebrows tightened and he immediately controlled the flying sword to remove the Lingzhu from this person's body and burned him into ashes.

  Afterwards, Wang Fei picked some spiritual herbs in the valley and left the place, transforming into a crimson light that flew towards his own courtyard...

  Shortly after Wang Fei left, several mysterious divine senses came from all directions, secretly communicating with each other.

  "This power, this power is..."

  "Is he a Xian Tian cultivator? No, he's even stronger than that - a Yuan Shen cultivator who has achieved enlightenment!"

  Several divine consciousnesses exchanged for a while before each retreated on their own...

  Wang Fei had returned to his own courtyard and was sitting cross-legged in the dan room. In front of him was a huge dan furnace, from which a faint fragrance wafted out.

  Wang Fei returned and did not immediately start cultivating, but instead checked the storage spirit pearls on Li Mu's body.

  Li Mu had just been promoted to a disciple of the Dongfu Sect and received many rewards from the sect, including 300 third-grade spirit crystals, 100 fusion spirit pills, and a small bell-like defensive artifact - Qingyin Bell.

  Medium-grade artifacts are hard to come by for ordinary formal disciples, and only when they have made achievements or improved their cultivation to a certain extent will the sect reward them with another one. Just like three years ago, Wang Fei was favored by Yao Shu, but he only got a low-grade artifact, the Golden Light Shield.

  Just got a mid-grade defensive artifact in the mouth, and that golden shield is also laid off.

  However, looking at the Ling Crystal on the table, Wang Fei still muttered: "I really didn't expect that a disciple of a sect's cave would be worse off than a bandit cultivator, tsk tsk!"

  But if others were to hear these words, they would surely be furious enough to spit blood. Three hundred spiritual crystals? That's something that would take decades to accumulate!

  At present, Wang Fei is wealthy and arrogant, with 1,300 spiritual crystals, the entire Danfeng Sect, probably only a few senior disciples can compare with him.

  Put away these Ling crystals, Wang Fei took out a cyan jade stone. At this moment, he had many questions in his heart and was waiting to ask this mysterious senior.

  "Thank you for your help earlier, senior!" Wang Fei said with a bow towards the cyan jade stone.

  "Heh heh, no big deal, just helping each other out. Young one, run into some trouble again?"

  The mysterious figure was indeed formidable. Wang Fei thought to himself, and immediately guessed it. Regarding this, Wang Fei scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Senior, I've encountered some trouble, take a look!"

  As he spoke, Wang Fei raised his hand and a small grayish-white flag appeared in his palm. He injected a stream of spiritual energy into it, and instantly the room was filled with a large expanse of icy cold corpse aura.

  "Hmm, this is the Hundred Corpses Banner, young one. It's something from the Corpse Refining Sect. How did you come to possess it?" The mysterious figure's face changed slightly as he saw the grayish-white corpse energy surrounding them.

  "Corpse Refining Sect?" Upon hearing this, Wang Fei felt a great shock. He had originally only been curious about why he couldn't absorb Qiu Xian Shi's spiritual root, and so had decided to ask, but unexpectedly received another shocking piece of news.

  "Not bad, as for this Corpse Refining Sect, I also only know a bit about its surface..."

  The mysterious figure seemed to fall into a distant memory and began to tell a story.

  Wang Fei gained even more insight into secrets he had never thought of before from his narrative.

  It turned out that the Lian Shi Sect was an ancient sect with a long history of inheritance, which Dan Feng Sect couldn't match. They inherited the art of corpse refining from puppetry and specifically looked for the corpses of dead cultivators to refine into Lian Shi, using them as thugs.

  At first glance, this move is terrifying, but fortunately, the Corpse Refining Sect did not engage in grave robbing or tomb raiding, otherwise it would have become a public enemy of the entire cultivation world.

  Upon learning this, Wang Fei was shocked and stunned. After a moment of contemplation, he infused another burst of spiritual energy into the Hundred Corpses Flag. Suddenly, a surge of corpse energy erupted from it, and from within, a cultivator's corpse wrapped in spiritual light fell out.

  "This person is already dead, but I can still sense the aura of death on his body... the Banner of a Hundred Corpses... Young one, could it be that this Banner of a Hundred Corpses belongs to him?" The mysterious person said after a moment of contemplation.

  "Not bad, he's someone I met in Yiping Village, let's talk about this later. Senior, the Earth Spirit Root within him, I couldn't absorb it, why is that?"

  "An unswallowed spiritual root..." The mysterious man paused for a moment, then said, "Young one, try thinking about the five elements' mutual generation and restraint."

  Upon hearing this, Wang Fei began to ponder the numbers of the Five Elements. The Five Elements, which generate and overcome each other, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and water again overcomes fire, thus cycling on... As he thought of this, Wang Fei suddenly felt a shock, and finally understood why he couldn't absorb the man's spiritual root.

  Since it's devouring, then you must first restrain the spiritual root of this attribute. You originally had no spiritual root, and what happened at the beginning doesn't need to be mentioned, but afterwards it's different. Every time you devour, you must satisfy the principle of mutual restraint.

  Fang Haoling's spiritual root is gold, which just so happens to be restrained by fire, allowing Wang Fei to absorb it safely. However, Qiu Xianshi has an earth spiritual root, lacking a wood attribute in between, so if he wants to devour him, he must first devour a wood spiritual root.

  After understanding this point, Wang Fei also calmed down and put away the Banner of a Hundred Corpses.

  Immediately afterwards, Wang Fei took the Lingzhu in his hand and infused it with a thread of spiritual energy.

  In an instant, the Lingzhu burst forth with a sheet of white light, and a stream of icy fire shot out from within, enveloping the entire room in an aura of ice and fire.

  "What the...?! You little brat, what are you doing?!" The mysterious person hiding on the jade stone was also affected by this aura and shuddered, saying in a depressed tone.

  Suddenly, the mysterious person thought of something and his face changed as he said: "Xuanbing Huoling, young one, how did you get this!"
