Chapter 112 Quickly, bring all the jade boxes and bottles!
When Senior Brother Xiao from the Beast Taming Sect came to pick the spirit fruits, he assumed that the two cultivators from the Taixu Sect were afraid of them, as they often brazenly and openly robbed them in the same way.
Who would have thought there was a formation under this tree?
Seeing that more than half of the Beast Taming Sect disciples he brought had been killed or wounded, he was furious: "You guys are something else! You knew there was a formation, yet you still watched us come up here to die."
Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wang of the Taixu Sect both denied it outright: "Senior Brother Xiao is just trying to pin this on us. You clearly saw us fighting the remnant souls when you arrived. We hadn't even reached the tree yet, so how could we have seen any formation?"
Enraged, Senior Brother Xiao commanded the remaining Beast Taming Sect disciples: "Go! Kill them all!"
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect summoned their spirit beasts and pounced on the two remnant souls and Senior Brothers Li and Wang from the Taixu Sect.
Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wang from the Taixu Sect exchanged a glance, crushed the teleportation talisman, and ran away.
The two remnant souls saw a ground covered with spirit beasts of varying heights, and several flying in the sky, and quickly drifted away.
Senior Brother Xiao turned his head, about to instruct the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect to use spirit beasts to navigate the formation.
This is their usual practice: sending their master-servant contracted spirit beasts with explosive talismans into the formation to destroy it.
But he immediately flew into a rage: "Where's the spirit fruit? Where's the tree?"
All the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect rubbed their eyes. The spirit fruit was gone, the tree was gone, and only the fragrance of the fruit was slowly wafting away.
It turned out that Zhong Lingxin had already seen the fifth-order protective array in front of her when several disciples of the Taixu Sect activated the array.
While she and the two remnant souls were escaping from the Taixu Sect, she quickly entered the formation, picked the fruit, and ran away.
As for that tree, it withered and disappeared quickly after the fruit was picked.
The empty valley was as if the fruit tree had never existed.
Zhong Lingxin ran after the two remnant souls.
Her thinking was simple: the remnant souls were local ghosts, and they definitely knew more than outsiders like them. By following them, she could not only find ways to kill more remnant souls, but she might also get more spiritual herbs, spiritual minerals, magic weapon fragments, and so on.
As it turned out, her idea was correct.
After the two remnant souls escaped, they moved forward swiftly like two wisps of smoke, clearly indicating that they frequently frequented this area.
Zhong Lingxin followed behind them, running for hundreds of miles, before she saw two remnant souls enter a mountain cave.
The cave was extremely well hidden; the entrance was a narrow crack between two giant rocks.
If Zhong Lingxin hadn't seen the two remnant souls enter the cave with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it was a mountain cave.
Zhong Lingxin observed the cave for a long time with an invisibility talisman attached, and then saw three remnant souls drift in.
For a moment, she dared not act.
She was unaware of the strength of the three remaining souls.
She knew the first two; those who could fight against the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taixu Sect should also be remnant souls around the Nascent Soul stage.
These remnant souls, after millions of years of decay, still possess such high cultivation levels. How high must their cultivation have been when they were alive!
After a long while, all five remnant souls floated out and scattered in all directions.
Zhong Lingxin leaped up, quickly enlarging the thin crack with the Soul-Slaying Sword in her hand, and slipped inside.
Then, she set up an illusion array at the entrance of the cave.
From the outside, the cave entrance looks exactly the same as before, without any change.
Upon entering the cave, Zhong Lingxin clearly felt that the spiritual energy here was both rich and gentle.
No wonder the five remnant souls chose this place as their lair.
There are also many spiritual herbs, fruits, and minerals in the cave.
However, these spiritual herbs, fruits, and minerals are clearly lacking in spiritual energy, possibly because the remnant souls absorbed their spiritual energy.
Zhong Lingxin didn't care about any of that. She would put anything that showed signs of spiritual energy into the jade box and deal with it after they left the ancient battlefield.
The cave was very deep, and Zhong Lingxin slowly walked inside.
In the distance, the sound of dripping water could be heard, and the spiritual energy in the air had noticeably increased.
Zhong Lingxin walked over quietly.
Suddenly, a sound came from the cave, and then a burst of spiritual energy struck Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin felt an immense pressure.
She channeled all her spiritual power and unleashed a trapping formation.
Violent thuds echoed from within the trapped formation, indicating that something was struggling inside.
As the trapping formation imprisoned something, the immense pressure also disappeared.
Zhong Lingxin straightened up and took a breath.
All that could be seen in the trapping formation before them was a remnant soul struggling to break free.
It swung its two enormous fists and pounded relentlessly at the trapped formation.
Zhong Lingxin estimated that the remnant soul was much stronger than her, and it was able to make the trapped formation tremble slightly.
Zhong Lingxin gently twisted her hands, and a great fire ignited within the trapped formation.
The remnant soul opened its mouth wide within the trapped formation, as if emitting a painful roar.
Zhong Lingxin ignored it and continued to let the fire burn.
Huanhuan and Lele stood beside Zhong Lingxin, watching the struggling remnant souls trapped in the array, both of them grimacing in fear.
"Xin Xin, what level is this remnant soul? It should be above the Nascent Soul stage, right? This is a top-grade array plate, yet it can only make it roar, and there isn't a single scratch on its body."
"Yes, if you look closely, you can still see some black smoke coming out of its head."
"That's too little. I didn't even notice until you told me. Xin Xin, how long do you think it will take you to burn it to death?"
"I don't know, but now that we've seen it, we should at least burn it."
“Xin Xin, look over there, isn’t that a spiritual spring? Is this remnant soul being nurtured in this spiritual spring that makes it so powerful?”
"Maybe so. I only came to check because I heard a ticking sound."
"Xinxin, you can burn it slowly. Lele and I will go over there and take a look. There are a lot of things piled up over there."
After Huanhuan finished speaking, she took Lele and ran to the Lingquan Bar.
Soon, she and Lele ran back cheering: "Xinxin, quick, bring the jade box and jade bottle, everything! This is the Jade Spring, the water here is wonderful, it nourishes the spiritual root."
Zhong Lingxin's heart skipped a beat; where there was a jade spring, there was a high probability that there was jade marrow essence below.
Jade marrow essence is excellent for enhancing a cultivator's spiritual root, especially for a fetus, where the effect is exceptionally good. A fetus with an ordinary spiritual root, nurtured by jade marrow essence, has a high chance of raising its spiritual root value to over ninety. There are even legends of it reaching the maximum level.
Zhong Lingxin's spiritual root values varied, with her fire spiritual root value only reaching seventy-one. When refining pills and crafting weapons, she often felt a lack of control over fire. No matter how strictly she followed the rules, she couldn't achieve the desired effect; it was always just a tiny bit off.
Both her master and Uncle Xuanyuan said it was because her fire spirit root value was not high enough.
Over the years, her master and Uncle Xuanyuan have tried various methods to improve her fire spiritual root, but they haven't made much progress.
If she could obtain the essence of jade marrow, would that solve the problem of her low fire spirit root value?
She glanced at the remnant souls still struggling in the trapped formation, took out a pile of jade bottles and boxes, and told Huanhuan to collect all the jade spring water, leaving not a single drop.
