It felt like an instant, yet it also felt like billions of years had passed. With a flash of white light, Lin Xuan's figure appeared.
This was an unfamiliar place surrounded by trees. There was a river flowing in the distance, and there were cries of apes and beasts. Everywhere was filled with vitality.
"What dense Spiritual Qi!" Lin Xuan took a deep breath and felt the Spiritual Qi in his body circulate faster.
"No wonder so many people want to enter. Just the Spiritual Qi here is several times denser than outside. What a good place." Lin Xuan used his Purple Spirit Eyes and soul power to scan the surroundings.
"Eh? Golden Thread Grass!" Lin Xuan was pleasantly surprised. His body flashed and disappeared.
A dozen meters away, there was a palm-sized plant with two rows of symmetrical leaves. Each leaf seemed to be made of gold, shining brightly.
"This is a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass. I didn't expect to see it everywhere here." Lin Xuan stored it in his storage ring.
Spiritual Grasses had different grades. Different grades of Spiritual Grasses could be used to create different grades of pills. This Rank 3 Spiritual Grass was considered a relatively high-grade herb in Yunzhou. In the outside world, it could only be found in the depths of Taihang Mountain Range.
"It seems like it won't be long before I can refine a new Spiritual Wine." Lord Alcohol's voice sounded in Lin Xuan's heart.
"According to the information, this is only the periphery. I wonder what good things there will be in the blood-colored palace." Lin Xuan was filled with anticipation.
Lord Alcohol used Lin Xuan's soul power to sense the surroundings and said slowly, "You'd better break through to the Spirit Sea Realm before going to the central region."
"Don't worry. With such a treasured place, breaking through shouldn't be difficult." Lin Xuan changed into a bolt of lightning and shuttled through the forest. With the help of his Purple Spirit Eyes and soul power, he plucked a lot of Spiritual Grasses.
Whoosh!
When he reappeared, Lin Xuan was near the river. There was a Hydra Flower there that was incomparably beautiful.
Lin Xuan flashed and arrived at the riverside. He bent down and was about to pluck it.
At this moment, a few angry shouts came from behind him.
"Stop!"
"Get lost!"
"Put down the Spiritual Grass or die!"
Lin Xuan had long sensed the presence of these people, but in a place like this, it was all about speed. How could he let go just because of a few threats?
Lin Xuan gently plucked the Water Flower and placed it into a jade box. Then, with a flip of his hand, he put it into his storage ring.
"Brat, you're courting death!" The people behind him saw Lin Xuan leisurely put away the Spiritual Grass and immediately shouted.
"He's actually at the eighth stage of the Meridian Condensation period. With this kind of strength, he still dares to come to the Trial by Blood and Fire. He's really looking for death!"
"Judging from that brat's storage ring's grade, there must be a lot of good stuff inside. Why don't we …" Several people sneered.
The death rate in the Bloody Trial Grounds was extremely high, so these disciples could kill people without any scruples. As long as they did it properly and weren't caught, no one could say anything.
Of course, if the elders in the outside world knew about this, it would be a different situation.
These people saw that Lin Xuan was alone and his cultivation was low, so they immediately had evil intentions. One of the disciples had the word "Ling" painted on his chest. He looked at Lin Xuan with a ferocious expression.
The Ling family disciple knew that Lin Xuan had comprehended sword intent and was afraid of an accident, so he ordered everyone to attack together. "Everyone attack together, don't give this brat any chance."
The three Meridian Stage Nine disciples' bodies bloomed with light. They attacked one after another, and a sky full of energy rushed towards Lin Xuan.
Under Purple Spirit Eyes' powerful observation, these people's bodies were full of flaws. Lin Xuan's fingertips emitted sword light, turning into lightning as he stabbed out.
It was like a golden lightning bolt streaking through the air. The sword qi surged and instantly pierced through the three people.
Pu pu pu!
Lin Xuan took the three people's storage rings and kicked them into the river. Killing people here was tacitly allowed, but if they were discovered, there would be a lot of trouble when they left.
The three corpses fell into the river, creating three splashes.
Pu chi! Pu chi!
A few ferocious-looking demonic beasts appeared on the surface of the water. They opened their blood-colored mouths and instantly devoured the few people. Blood immediately dyed the river red.
These demonic beasts looked like lizards and crocodiles. They were about two meters long and covered in grayish-brown scales. Their sharp teeth were like saws that emitted a faint light.
"These are mutated water crocodiles. See if there are any demon crystals?" Lord Alcohol reminded.
Lin Xuan didn't hesitate. Golden lightning flashed in his hand. He waved it out, and lightning surged as golden lightning arcs crackled.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three mutated water crocodiles were sent flying. They rolled on the ground, and their scales were charred black.
Roar roar!
These water demons were furious as they let out low roars. Their eyes were suffused with a red glow as they viciously pounced at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was surprised. He hadn't thought that the skin of these monstrous beasts would be so thick. His attack just now would have seriously injured even a ninth stage Meridian Condensation martial artist, but these mutated water crocodiles had only rolled a few times.
"Interesting!" Lin Xuan condensed a sword beam in his hand and swung it out like lightning, forming a lightning bolt in the air.
Pu chi!
Pu chi! The lightning sword was extremely sharp as it pierced a thumb-sized bloody hole in the mutated water crocodiles.
After a few more slashes, the water demons collapsed to the ground, dead.
Lin Xuan quickly peeled them open and found a dark red crystal the size of a fingernail.
"Is this a demon crystal?" Lin Xuan fiddled with it in his hand.
Although the demon crystal was small, it contained powerful energy. Not only that, there were wisps of demonic aura lingering around it. It was extremely demonic.
"Let's see if we can gather ten. If possible, I can refine a flask of Crystal Vein Wine for you. I guarantee that you will break through after drinking it," Lord Alcohol said with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Xuan was delighted. He put away the three demon crystals and kicked the mutated crocodile's corpse into the water to attract more water demons.
Indeed, as the blood spread, more figures appeared under the water.
A few impatiently went ashore and attacked Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan brandished his sword beam and fought with the mutated water crocodiles. The surging energy attracted the nearby warriors.
"Who is this person? He's so powerful! "
"Although his cultivation level is low, his sword art is too sharp!"
A few pairs of eyes stared at Lin Xuan nearby as they whispered to each other. They didn't show themselves but hid in the forest.
"From the looks of it, he should be collecting demon crystals. Could it be that he wants to devour them?"
"Impossible. Such demonic beasts need a special mystic technique to refine them. If ordinary warriors absorb them, they will be assimilated by the demonic aura!" A few people were puzzled.
"Perhaps this person has such a mystic technique. Should we take action?"
"Let's keep watching. I feel that his sword art has an inexplicable power."
Just as these people were hesitating, a powerful aura rushed over. The aura was like the sea, surging violently and without any concealment. It was incomparably arrogant.
"Not good, it's a Spirit Sea Realm warrior. Retreat!" The expressions of the people hiding in the shadows changed drastically as they fled.
These people were all Meridian Condensation Stage Nine warriors, and some were even at the peak of the Meridian Condensation Stage. However, compared to a Spirit Sea Realm warrior, they were nothing.
Once one entered the Spirit Sea Realm, their strength would increase tremendously. Furthermore, they would have the ability to release spirit energy and manifest spirit energy. It was not something a Meridian Condensation Stage warrior could compare with.
In a short moment, this Sea of Soul realm martial artist quickly arrived near the river and locked onto Lin Xuan.
