346: Destroy Xin Pavilion and gain huge rewards

Thirty breaths felt like years to Qin Feng.

Because the speed of the long arrows shot from the direction of Fairy Lake was getting faster and faster, this also meant that Gong Miaoyin and the people from the Sea Dragon God Sect were in the most intense phase of their aerial battle.

They had to speed up their progress!

If the higher-ups of the Sea Dragon God Sect freed up their hands, dealing with him and Tie Zhu would be as simple as dealing with chicks!

Boom!

Just then, the giant below could no longer withstand Tie Zhu's devouring and collapsed directly onto the ground, its chest still rising and falling, indicating it wasn't completely dead.

"Feng Ge, I left it alive for you."

Tie Zhu transformed back into human form. His Face was a bit crooked after being flattened into meat paste countless times, so Tie Zhu was also constantly rubbing and kneading his Face while talking. He looked extremely terrifying; if Qin Feng wasn't familiar with him, he would have wanted to kick the guy away...

"Can you perform Soul Searching?"

"Soul Searching? I'll give it a try."

Tie Zhu sighed, then flashed directly to the giant's head. His hands instantly changed from flesh-colored to pitch black and plunged directly into the monster's head. At the same time, the monster let out painful roars from its mouth.

A moment later.

The monster stopped moving, and Tie Zhu's eyes showed excitement as he said, "Feng Ge, this guy is indeed a Soul Cultivator, and he doesn't belong to our world. He seems to be from the God Race."

"What is the God Race?"

"I don't know either."

Tie Zhu shrugged, then raised his arm and controlled his spiritual energy to form a sharp greatsword. He sliced the monster's head in half with one strike, then took out a dark black crystal core from within, saying:

"This is something they use for storage. It seems to be called a space crystal core."

"How do you open it?"

"Smash it open."

Tie Zhu swung his arm in a circle and desperately smashed the space crystal core onto the ground, then bit and threw it around. However, the space crystal core was exceptionally sturdy; even when Qin Feng used the Demon Subduing Sword Formation, he couldn't split it open even a tiny crack.

A moment later.

The two sat on the ground, feeling helpless, and stared blankly at the egg-sized space crystal core.

This thing was harder than a Heaven-grade magic artifact, and it was like a locked treasure chest that they could only look at but not open, making them feel uncomfortable...

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng decided not to waste any more time. He took out a map, pointed at a location on it, and asked Tie Zhu:

"Has your Ten Thousand Souls Banner finished digesting? If so, we need to hurry to another Letter Pavilion."

"The low-level Cultivators are basically fine, but the Divine Transformation Stage Cultivators are not easy to refine. They're still not dead yet, but it doesn't affect my use."

Tie Zhu raised the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand. The dark red banner cloth was still constantly bulging, clearly indicating that the Divine Transformation Stage experts inside were still struggling!

...

A moment later.

Qin Feng and Tie Zhu arrived at the second Letter Pavilion.

The layout here was exactly the same as the previous Letter Pavilion. In the center of the many buildings, a giant stone coffin was also enshrined, but there were more believers here. Countless low-level Cultivators knelt on the ground, frantically sacrificing and praying, hoping that the giant stone coffin could bestow upon them even greater power.

Based on the number of people praying, the giant in this stone coffin should be stronger.

Qin Feng and Tie Zhu stood quietly in the void above the stone coffin, watching the many believers below praying devoutly.

And at this moment.

The attack speed of the long arrows from the Chasing Immortals Sect's direction became more and more frequent, almost reaching a frequency of one arrow per breath.

Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but start to feel anxious. After all, Gong Miaoyin was desperately trying to buy time, yet he and Tie Zhu had only destroyed one Letter Pavilion, with seventeen remaining.

Even if they went all out, destroying one Letter Pavilion would take at least half an hour. At this rate, the remaining Letter Pavilions would require at least eight hours.

"Feng Ge, let's do it!"

Feeling the power of the Yin souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner gradually strengthening, a look of excitement reappeared in Tie Zhu's eyes.

If all the people from the eighteen Letter Pavilions were incorporated into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the quality of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner would definitely rise by a level, and his own strength would also be completely consolidated!

Qin Feng sighed and said, "We have to hurry. For this Letter Pavilion, we can waste at most half an hour."

"Okay!"

After a simple discussion, the two immediately began to act.

The deployment of this Letter Pavilion was similar to the previous Eighth Letter Pavilion, with the top combat strength still being two Divine Transformation Stage experts.

However, with the experience from the previous battle, Qin Feng and Tie Zhu cooperated seamlessly this time, taking only a very short time to completely kill all the experts guarding the Letter Pavilion, and then they set their sights on the believers below and the giant stone coffin above...

...

At this time.

In the Netherworld Soul Hall's underground cave, within Qin Feng's courtyard.

Qin Mu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, constantly forming hand seals, frowning as he tried to sense the presence of spiritual energy. Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan stood beside him, circulating their cultivation to absorb spiritual energy, causing the spiritual energy in the courtyard to become so dense that it had reached the point of liquefaction.

"Junior Brother, put in a little more effort. You should be able to sense the presence of spiritual energy very soon."

Jiang Mengting gently encouraged him, while Zhao Xuanyuan looked somewhat anxious, sitting in the courtyard scratching his ears and cheeks.

Two days had already passed, but this Junior Brother still hadn't been able to sense the presence of spiritual energy. Even during this time, they had already tried various methods: Gathering Spirit Formations, spiritual energy pills, the simplest Qi Refining techniques...

However, Qin Mu had a natural Five Elements mixed Spiritual Root. Not only was his speed of sensing spiritual energy slow, but he also had to sense the spiritual energy of five different attributes simultaneously to count. The difficulty of Qi Refining was directly five times harder than for a single Spiritual Root!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's so annoying!

While Qin Mu closed his eyes to sense the spiritual energy, he also found the two guys constantly hovering in front of him annoying.

One was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and one was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

This level could only be considered low-level small Cultivators, but now they were actually guiding him... Qin Mu was extremely unconvinced inwardly, but unfortunately, Qi Refining was truly too difficult, and coupled with the extremely exquisite Cultivation Technique Qin Feng gave him, he couldn't sense the five types of spiritual energy simultaneously for a time.

Therefore...

This made it even more annoying!

At this time, in Qin Mu's perception, he could only see the presence of Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth spiritual energy. But he had a Five Elements Spiritual Root and needed to absorb five types of spiritual energy simultaneously to have a chance to enter the Qi Refining Stage.

Just as Qin Mu was about to give up, he suddenly felt a mass of dark red gas in his heart.

Fire?

Fire energy?

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then immediately used his Cultivation Technique to try and attract that flame.

At this moment, the Five Elements spiritual energy was completely gathered. The spiritual energy of the five attributes immediately began to drill into his Qi Sea acupoint, and Qin Mu's body also emitted multicolored light.

Seeing this scene, both Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother, congratulations on entering the Qi Refining Stage."

Jiang Mengting came over with a smile to congratulate Qin Mu, but Qin Mu didn't give her a pleasant look. He just said with a dark Face, "I have a bad feeling in my heart. Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Tell a fortune for my Father!"

"Revered Master? Revered Master shouldn't have anything happen to him, right?"

"If I tell you to calculate, then calculate. Why are you so long-winded? It serves you right that you're still in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

...

Jiang Mengting was scolded by a three or four-year-old child and immediately felt she had lost Face. She pretended to be angry and said, "Do you believe I'll beat you up? Does Revered Master know you're so rude?"

"I am the Five Elements Immortal Emperor. It's already good enough that I'm willing to let him be my Father. What's wrong with scolding you guys?" Qin Mu craned his neck to look at Jiang Mengting, the disdain in his eyes completely undisguised.

Jiang Mengting frowned, then immediately shifted her gaze to the bamboo grove in the corner of the courtyard.

This time, it was Qin Mu who panicked slightly. He stammered, "I am the Five Elements Immortal Emperor, you... what do you want to do?"
