After an unknown period of time, the belly of the mountain quieted down again. Broken statues of Earth Fiend Beasts of all shapes and sizes stood tall in the darkness.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged and meditated on the path of the Qilin. Because after a fierce battle, the Qilin Transformation showed signs of weakening again.
"Is there a need to be so calculative? After all, the things I killed weren't living beings!"
He increasingly felt that the Qilin Path was not as simple as he had initially thought. As long as he did some good deeds, his cultivation would rise rapidly.
The Qilin took pity on the common people. However, even if he killed a peach tree and saved a group of beggars, it would still go against the Qilin Path. Because human lives were not as noble as plants. Even if he did not have to sacrifice any lives, the people he saved would still have to devour other lives.
The so-called doing good deeds and accumulating virtue were just the kindness and virtue of humans.
Perhaps what he really needed to do was to follow the path of nature, forget right and wrong, walk in the air, and look down on the common people.
The so-called Path of Extreme Benevolence was actually so "heartless."
In the darkness, he suddenly opened his eyes and estimated the time. About a day and a half had passed. He had to leave the mountain within three days and hand over all the Primary Magnets he had obtained.
Looking up, he could see that the entire cavern was filled with shining magnets. This battle was really fruitful.
However, the basket used to store the Primary Magnets was gone. It was not easy to carry around so many Multielement Magnets. He circled around the cave and suddenly came before the largest Earth Fiend Beast statue. He cut open its chest and dug out pieces of black iron ores of high purity from within.
After a round of kneading and stretching, they turned into iron bars. He used them to weave a huge iron basket. The work was very meticulous and did not look rough at all.
He carried it on his back in satisfaction and picked up the Primary Magnets and threw them inside. A series of clanking sounds rang out.
After collecting all the scattered Primary Magnets, he worked hard in the cavern to collect as many Primary Magnets as possible. This was to lay a solid foundation for the development of the Myriad Nature Sect.
After two days, the iron basket was filled to the brim. Only then did he carry the basket and walk with heavy steps. With the joy of a great harvest, he walked out of the mountain.
…
"Big Brother, this is really a great harvest!"
The fair-faced young master smiled and threw a piece of Primary Magnet into the basket beside him. However, it was caught by a hand in midair and thrown into another basket. The black-faced fiend said indifferently, "It's my turn this time!"
"Oh, I remembered wrongly. Hahahaha, I'm sorry. Between us brothers. There's no need to fuss over these small details. "
Although they hadn't dug out a single piece of Primary Magnet with their own hands, the two baskets were almost full.
The black-faced fiend furrowed his brows. "Up until now, none of the three Nascent Souls have shown up."
"This is the only way to get out of the mountain. The three-day deadline is almost here. They will show up eventually."
"I'm worried that they're causing trouble inside. Some of them don't seem to want to pay the toll."
"Haha, with this Earth Fiend Magnetic Origin Array here, no matter how many tricks they have, they're not a match for us. But if they knew what was good for them. There's no need for us to become enemies with them. Just let them go. "
They were as relaxed as if they were on a date. But they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching them through the stone wall.
It was the female Nascent Soul cultivator. She had tied up her long hair and was wearing leather clothes and pants, looking very capable. Especially her eyes, which were extraordinarily bright.
It was unknown what method she used. She could actually ignore the influence of the Earth Fiend Magnetic Origin Array and make her eyes penetrate the rock. Of course, with this trick, she dug out a large number of Primary Magnets, which filled most of the baskets.
Zhu Yingcai asked nervously, "Senior Su Tong, how is it? Are they still there? "
Su Tong withdrew her gaze. "Yes."
There was a sigh in the cave, and there was also a scolding. "These two bastards are really greedy. They've already robbed so many Primary Magnets, and they still won't give up!"
There were one or two hundred people gathered here, and all kinds of voices gathered together. It was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Someone warned, "Be quiet, be careful of attracting the Earth Fiend Beasts!"
Immediately, someone said disdainfully, "Coward, there's no Earth Fiend Beast. It's all bluffing!"
Su Tong blinked her eyes, thinking of the song she heard when she ventured deep into the Yuan Ci Mountain the day before yesterday. The song came from the belly of the mountain under her feet. She was shocked at that time. She didn't expect that someone would dare to go so deep into the Yuan Ci Mountain and sing loudly. It was simply crazy.
However, the song didn't stop for a long time. Instead, it became louder and louder. She guessed that it must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. The two robber brothers must have come here early to prepare. Also, the voice of an old Taoist couldn't be so young, so it could only be "him". A handsome and gentle face appeared in her mind, making people involuntarily have a good impression of him.
"I hope he hasn't been killed by the Earth Fiend Beast. I'm afraid it's because of him that almost no one has encountered the Earth Fiend Beast this time."
As a result, the test became abnormally simple. Even the competition between people was reduced by a lot. Without the threat of the Earth Emanations Beasts, they could go deeper into the mountains to dig out more Origin Magnets. There was no need to kill each other.
Li Qingshan almost single-handedly carried all the difficulty of this assessment. If it weren't for the two brothers blocking the way, many people would have passed.
Zhu Yingcai sat on the ground and lamented, "What should we do? We can't get out. If only Nascent Soul cultivators were as good as Senior Su Tong!"
All the cultivators begged, "Senior Su Tong, you must help us!"
Su Tong was disdainful. "A bunch of fools. Why should I help you? The two robber brothers' trick is too cruel. Even I am no match for them. How can I help you? If it weren't for the influence in the Wanxiang Sect, I would have cheated you out of all your Primary Magnets and found another way out.
"Alas, I'm a female cultivator. If I enter the Wanxiang Sect, I will definitely be on Senior Sister Chao Tianjiao's side. Female cultivators on Senior Sister's side have always paid attention to unity and friendship. If I leave a bad impression on them that I'm scheming, it won't be worth it. It's better to be a male cultivator. It's not a big deal to fight and do bad things. Maybe they will appreciate me more. Alas, being a woman is so troublesome! "
While she was struggling, heavy footsteps came from the depths of the cave.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. All the cultivators immediately fell silent. Such footsteps could only be made by the Earth Fiend Beast. There was no way to escape here. If he went forward, he would only run into the two brothers' trap. This time, there were wolves in front of him and tigers behind him. He was in a dilemma.
Zhu Yingcai sat up and asked anxiously, "Senior! Senior! What should we do? "
Su Tong's eyes were shining. She suddenly opened her eyes wide as if she had seen something incredible. "How … How is this possible?!"
