There are ten minutes left until the final ti limit for the second barrier, plenty of ti.
However, Ling Xiao showed no intention of leaving; it was as if he was waiting for sothing.
Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, and Shang Guan Lei found this strange, but, trusting in Ling Xiao, they remained silent and waited alongside him.
"Chirp chirp!"
Suddenly, a giant bat appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
"Is that the Bloodsucking Bat King from before?"
Leng Hao recognized it at first glance; it was indeed the Bloodsucking Bat King that Ling Xiao had trapped into the Beast Ring!
Of course, the key point wasn’t the Bloodsucking Bat King, but rather the box that it clutched in its claws.
"Hehe, ti to divide the spoils!"
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"No way, Senior Brother Ling, did you actually use the Bloodsucking Bat King to switch out the treasure chest? No wonder Wang Nan got a fake!"
Leng Hao exclaid in surprise.
"Originally, I had planned to share the loot equally if they had all worked together with , but they actually tried to lure the Five-faced Monster to kill . If it wasn’t for my superior body movent technique, I would have been forced to team up with them to kill the Five-faced Monster, or I’d probably be dead by now."
Ling Xiao spoke coldly, "Therefore, they shouldn’t even think about getting anything from this chest!"
As he spoke, Ling Xiao opened the box.
The Bloodsucking Bat King was released by Ling Xiao.
But at this mont, the Bloodsucking Bat King was under the control of Ling Xiao’s Soul Power, effectively becoming a hidden piece Ling Xiao had planted inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda.
He had learned this trick from the Demonfla Celestial, after all.
He would not use the bodies of his fellow sect mbers as puppets, but he could definitely make use of the monsters that were already here.
Most of the contents of the box were Spiritual Fruits and dicines.
There was also a Sealed Card for the Five-faced Monster, which Ling Xiao naturally kept for himself.
Out of the dozen or so types of Spiritual Fruits and dicines, two were particularly good, equating to the effect of Yellow Grade low-level Spirit Pills.
Their value was even higher than that of Gold-top Level Martial Arts!
After all, Martial Arts can beco outdated, but the benefits received from consuming these Spiritual Fruits last a lifeti.
These two types of fruits were the Fire Spirit Fruit and the Water Spirit Fruit.
The Fire Spirit Fruit has two effects: one is to strengthen and temper the body, giving it greater resistance to fire, and the other is to boost fire attribute inner strength, which can further promote breakthroughs in cultivation.
A single Fire Spirit Fruit is enough to allow martial artists below the Seventh Level of the Transcendent Realm to break through a major realm, sadly a person can only use it once.
The Water Spirit Fruit has effects similar to the Fire Spirit Fruit, with the only difference being that it enhances water attribute resistance and boosts water attribute inner strength.
There are ten of each of these fruits, totalling twenty. Ling Xiao took fourteen while the remaining six were distributed among Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, and Shang Guan Lei.
He could refrain from giving any to Bai Feifei and the others, but he was still willing to share so with these three people.
As for the rest of the Spiritual Fruits and dicines, he kept them all. Even though taking them directly had little effect, they could be used as ingredients for Alchemy. He knew Alchemy, so he could later refine so good pills and reward these three with those.
"Let’s go to the next barrier. I will find suitable cultivation spots for the three of you first. Swallow the fruits and cultivate on the spot. Strive to improve your cultivation levels to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendent Realm after we leave the Moon Blossom Pagoda!"
This wasn’t impossible. The lower the cultivation level, the faster the advancent. Furthermore, the concentration of Spiritual Qi inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda was more than ten tis that of the outside world. Coupled with the assistance of Spiritual Fruits and dicines, it was quite normal to accelerate the pace of breakthroughs.
"Understood!"
The three of them had no objections to Ling Xiao’s arrangents.
If they continued to follow Ling Xiao, they would likely only cause him trouble at the third stage; it would be better just to find a safe place to cultivate.
The third stage was known as the "Forbidden Life Zone," an extrely harsh natural environnt.
However, the harsher the environnt, the more it could actually help martial artists in their cultivation.
Leng Hao’s True Essence was of the water elent from the Five Elents, so Ling Xiao took him to a nearby lake with undulating waves.
Using the Mountain and River Map, Ling Xiao could clearly understand the environnt of the Forbidden Life Zone. After all, the range of this Forbidden Life Zone would not exceed fifty miles, while the maximum range of the Mountain and River Map was a hundred miles.
Therefore, there was no problem at all.
"The spiritual qi here is indeed abundant. It feels like both the mountains and the water are constantly emitting spiritual qi, which is really surprising!"
As the four of them landed, Leng Hao exclaid in amazent.
"That’s natural. The spiritual qi here is more than ten tis that of the second stage and over twenty tis more abundant than the outside world. Your cultivation speed is sure to increase a lot!"
Ling Xiao nodded and said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ling, for the assistance. After getting out, I, Leng Hao, am willing to go through fire and water for Senior Brother Ling!"
Leng Hao suddenly bowed solemnly.
"It’s nothing. I, Ling Xiao, am never stingy with friends."
Ling Xiao replied with a light smile.
Leng Hao was a genius, a talent no less than Ming Tian’s, and worth cultivating. In the future, he could indeed help guard the Divine Sword Sect.
After speaking, Ling Xiao took out an Array Refining Stone and brought out so materials he had brought from outside to set up a small array formation around the lake.
"Alright, Leng Hao. This array may seem simple, but it can definitely prevent you from being detected by any Ferocious Beast below Level 8. However, for Monster Beasts above Level 8, you’ll have to fend for yourself."
"Understood, Senior Brother Ling. I’ll be careful. After all, I can’t always rely on you. Just being able to reach the third stage is fortunate enough. I’ll persevere for as long as I can."
Leng Hao nodded and said.
"Alright, start your cultivation."
After Ling Xiao made the arrangents, he then sent Dai Yuling and Shangguan Lei to the right locations for their cultivation.
He believed that the three of them, at locations suitable for their respective cultivations, taking Fire Spirit Fruit and Water Spirit Fruit, along with the Top-grade True Essence Pill that Ling Xiao had given them, would definitively be able to break through.
But to what extent they could break through was unknown.
anwhile, in a pitch-black underground city tens of miles away from him.
"I didn’t expect to actually find the Spider Goddess Queen’s Underground City here; it looks like my luck, Tantai Lingzi, isn’t bad!"
The legendary Spider Goddess Queen was the queen of the Spider Kingdom during the Primordial Era.
Back then, the Dragon Clan ruled the entire Mysterious World, with all the kingdoms created by the ferocious beasts of the Primordial Era, while humans were still in a state of being preyed upon.
The Spider Goddess Queen was just one queen among the many ferocious beast kingdoms that were spread across the land.
But her strength was absolutely not sothing that the martial artists of today could compare with.
Tantai Lingzi, who possessed the Parasitic Spider Soul, would benefit imnsely from cultivating here, possibly even with just a wisp of the Spider Goddess Queen’s aura to assist her.
Already at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer, she hoped to use this cultivation opportunity to raise her level to the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm!
Of course, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.
But Tantai Lingzi did not intend to let go of this chance. She often thought of Ling Xiao; if she shrank back in the face of such danger, how could she ever hope to overpower Ling Xiao?
Ling Xiao was improving too rapidly, so she could not afford to stop moving forward. She must maintain her lead in cultivation level.
