Chapter 138 It's a long-legged thing that can run.
That wasn't all; the evil cultivators unleashed all sorts of magical weapons, and the shrill screams of the vengeful spirits and the intense, dark malevolent energy all rushed towards her.
After Zhong Lingxin's cultivation level increased to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the Soul-Suppressing Stone operated even faster, and a faint golden light appeared on the stone. This golden light gently cleansed and quickly stabilized Zhong Lingxin's sea of consciousness.
Zhong Lingxin steadied herself and unleashed an explosive talisman. Then, she cast a spell with both hands, and the array pressed down on the heads of the evil cultivators, reducing the blast radius to their vicinity.
The massive explosion instantly killed several Golden Core stage evil cultivators, and also seriously injured three Nascent Soul stage evil cultivators.
Zhong Lingxin was also in great pain. The explosion occurred inside her trapped formation, and her consciousness was also affected by the backlash from the explosion, causing her vision to go black.
Lele burst out of Zhong Lingxin's sea of consciousness and, taking advantage of the moment when the evil cultivators were dazed from the explosion, transformed into a black flame and burned towards them.
After being injured by the explosion, the evil cultivators activated their defensive magic items.
They just didn't expect that their black aura would be mixed with black flames.
When the air around them suddenly became extremely hot, they let out screams of agony.
Lele was furious. If another exploding talisman exploded in the trapping formation, Xinxin's sea of consciousness would probably collapse by half.
He cannot allow this to happen; he must eliminate these heretical practitioners.
Speaking of which, since he devoured several strange flames in the Fallen Phoenix Mountains, he has already reached the fourth rank of divine flame, equivalent to a cultivator's Nascent Soul stage. It's a good time to fight these evil cultivators.
Huanhuan also rushed out, its three long tails lashing out, one tail wrapping around the other, firmly dragging them into Lele's divine fire, refusing to let go even in death.
The Phoenix Harp also flew out, playing a few intermittent melodies to help Huanhuan and Lele burn and kill the three Nascent Soul evil cultivators.
With the evil cultivators held back by their three companions, Zhong Lingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She swallowed a healing pill, swung the Soul-Slaying Sword, and silently pierced the forehead of an evil cultivator.
The sword energy unleashed from the Soul-Slaying Sword quickly destroyed the evil cultivator's sea of consciousness.
Zhong Lingxin raised her hand and released a flame, burning the nascent soul of the evil cultivator who was about to leave his body to death.
The other two evil cultivators were also quickly killed with the help of Zhong Lingxin and her companions.
Zhong Lingxin dared not delay. Just as she activated the formation, she was blasted out of the trap by the evil cultivators' explosive talismans. At this moment, the evil cultivators of the Blood Shadow Sect must have been alarmed.
She had to race against time and kill as many of the evil cultivators from the Blood Shadow Sect as possible.
Just as she had expected, some of the more astute members of the Blood Shadow Sect began running towards the exit of the spirit stone mine, shouting as they ran, "Something's happened! Something's happened! Run!"
They didn't know what the tremor had been about, but the sudden disappearance of several leaders, none of whom came to command them, made them feel extremely uneasy.
Zhong Lingxin casually put on a red robe from the Blood Shadow Sect, removed the invisibility talisman, and followed the evil cultivators towards the exit of the spirit stone mine.
As the exit drew closer, Zhong Lingxin ran faster and faster, overtaking most of the eccentric cultivators who were still somewhat dazed and hesitant about whether to continue mining.
She waved her hand and threw out an illusion array, blocking the exit.
Turning back, she used every means at her disposal to kill every Blood Shadow Sect evil cultivator she could see.
A month later, she left the Blood Shadow Sect's designated area and headed towards the other four evil cultivation sects.
But there are hardly any evil cultivators left in the spirit stone mine.
The few evil cultivators who escaped from the Blood Shadow Sect, relying on that violent tremor and their rich imaginations, created an extremely powerful and ferocious remnant soul in the spirit stone mine.
None of them had ever seen this large remnant soul, but several of their leaders, both big and small, had died in a sudden tremor, which must have been the work of the large remnant soul.
Xuefeng was extremely frustrated. Such a large spirit stone mine was a good place to nurture remnant souls, so why did the remnant souls come from their side and not from the righteous sect cultivators?
A few days later, news of remnant souls also came from the righteous sects.
This is a true remnant soul, which has grown flesh and blood and has vague facial features.
This remnant soul was cultivating when it was startled by the sounds of the cultivators mining. With a low roar, it flashed its claws and killed several cultivators.
Xuefeng felt a little better.
Fortunately, it wasn't just the evil cultivators who suffered losses; many people from the righteous sects also died.
However, the righteous sects discovered the remnant soul and are organizing cultivators to attack it.
On their side, however, they only saw the evil cultivator disappear; no one saw the remnant soul's appearance.
As soon as Zhong Lingxin came out of the spirit stone mine, she heard the news that there was also a remnant soul from the righteous sects.
She had seen a powerful remnant soul before; she had killed one in a cave using a trapping formation.
That was a remnant soul that cultivated on chalcedony, and its cultivation level should not be lower than that of the remnant soul in this spirit stone mine.
The cultivators who entered the ancient battlefield all carried magical treasures to varying degrees, so they should be able to kill that remnant soul.
She should focus on dealing with the evil cultivators.
Unfortunately, the evil cultivators were terrified by the remnant soul, and all the evil cultivators from several sects gathered together, making it difficult for Zhong Lingxin to find an opportunity to strike.
She thought for a moment, then turned and went back into the mine. She left only an illusion array at the entrance, which would be activated when someone entered or exited, allowing her to know when someone had come in.
Back in the mine, Lele was so tired of digging for spirit stones that he almost threw up. He came up with an idea and tricked all the cloud deer out of their hiding places.
Although the cloud deer's hooves were not as sharp as Lele's claws, they were still faster than Zhong Lingxin's slow digging with a hoe.
Zhong Chun was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy. He directed his friends to dig deeper into the ground. He said excitedly, "Xin Xin, dig harder! Such a large spirit stone mine must contain spirit marrow. Even if we can't collect the spirit stone mine, it would be good to collect a pair of spirit marrow. If we collect more slag and bury a couple more spirit marrow, we can slowly produce spirit stones."
Zhong Lingxin also knew about the Spirit Marrow; it was something with long legs that could run.
However, if a place has too much spiritual energy and is too comfortable to stay in, it will not leave. Not only will it not leave, but it will also produce more spiritual stones, making it even more comfortable to stay in.
Following the direction Zhong Chun pointed out, Zhong Lingxin and her friends dug out a long mine tunnel that stretched straight into the ground.
To avoid being disturbed, Zhong Lingxin set up a trapping illusion array at the cave entrance.
Fortunately, she has many arrays, so she doesn't mind setting up as many as she can.
The deeper they dug, the denser the spiritual energy became. Zhong Lingxin and her friends were as if they were in a white mist of spiritual energy. The spirit stones they dug out gradually changed from low-grade spirit stones to mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones, spirit crystals, and top-grade spirit crystals.
Zhong Chun also stepped out of the Nine-Story Pagoda. He suddenly called out to Zhong Lingxin, "Xinxin, it's almost time. Get ready for the trapping formation. I can feel the spiritual essence."
