Ling Pengqiu Eliminates the Enemy
Half a month later.
Within the territory of the Ling Clan, in the River Creek Town of Hexi, One City, Four Towns, there is a pavilion on the River Creek Mountain.
In a quiet room in this attic, a handsome young man with fair skin sat cross-legged.
After a while, the fair-skinned young man opened his eyes, a hint of helplessness on his face, and muttered something to himself.
"The bottleneck of the Qi Training Seventh Layer is too entrenched. Without the help of First-Tier Superior-Grade- Miasma Breaking Pill, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through this bottleneck for the next five years."
This fair-skinned young man is Ling Clan Ling Pengqiu, the twenty-seventh in the Peng Generation. He just turned twenty this year, and his cultivation reached the bottleneck of the Qi Training Sixth Layer Refining half a month ago. However, this bottleneck is too solid, and he is unable to break through it for a while.
As for his cultivation level at such a young age, there are two factors.
Firstly, it is because he himself has Dual Spirit Root, and his main Spirit Root, fire, is extremely sensitive to fire Spiritual Qi. Among Dual Spirit Root, he is considered to be in the middle to Higher Vehicle tier.
Secondly, the Ling Clan provides Ling Pengqiu with a large sum of extra resources every month.
With good aptitude and sufficient Cultivation Resources, his cultivation speed is naturally fast.
Based on his Qi Training Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, he should have followed Ling Clan Head Ling Yunhong to West Yang Market Town more than half a year ago.
However, Ling Yunhong was worried that West Yang Market Town would be overrun by the Demon Beast horde, so he did not bring Ling Pengqiu, a talented member of his clan, to the front lines to fight.
Instead, they were dispatched here to guard First Grade Middle Rank Spirit Vein in this River Creek Valley, as well as a First Rank Low Grade Spirit Vein a dozen miles away.
At the same time, take care of the Spirit Plant planted on these two Spirit Vein.
Just as Ling Pengqiu was distracted, he noticed that several warning barriers he had set up within half a mile of River Creek Mountain had been activated.
Such a situation is not a good thing during the period of Demon Beast Uprising.
His expression immediately turned serious. He quickly stood up, strode out of the attic, and looked towards the north where the warning barrier had been triggered.
Upon looking up, he immediately saw thirteen red-haired wolf demons, each as strong as a yellow ox, rushing towards the mountain from half a mile away, sensing the mountain's Spiritual Qi.
Upon seeing this, Ling Pengqiu's brows furrowed immediately.
"Flame Wolf Pack!"
Although he was not very old, he had left the Clan Mountain four years ago to guard the Spirit Vein within the Lineage's territory.
He had experienced several attacks on the mountain by Demon Beast, but the number of Demon Beast that attacked the mountain in the past was not as large as it is now.
However, he also had some experience with Demon Beast attacks on mountains.
Furthermore, there were as many as thirteen Flame Wolf attacking this time. He didn't have time to think much and subconsciously took out the array plate of the River Creek Mountain Protection Formation from his Storage Bag.
Then, he quickly made hand Method Formula and sent them into the array plate, activating the mountain array and conjuring a golden light screen that protected the entire River Creek Mountain.
As soon as the array's light barrier rose, the dozen or so wolf demons that had been rushing towards them also spat out more than a dozen fireballs, which bombarded the golden light barrier, causing small Ripples Marketplace.
At this moment, Ling Pengqiu used his Divine Sense to scan the thirteen Flame Wolf Flame Wolf towards River Creek Mountain, probing their cultivation levels.
"The wolf king is Qi Training Late Stage Flame Wolf, three Qi Training Middle Stage Flame Wolf, and nine Early-Stage Qi Training Refining Flame Wolf. This is rather troublesome."
His already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
Then, he looked toward the golden light curtain protecting River Creek Mountain.
"This Transformed Defense Light Screen by First Rank Middle Grade Golden Adamant Screen Grand Array, is quite strong. It should be able to withstand the pack of powerful Flame Wolf Pack outside the mountain for half an hour."
"With this formation, I have a good chance of defeating that pack of wolf demons."
"Otherwise, if we abandon this mountain, the six acres of Spirit Plant that can be worth hundreds of Spirit Stone when they mature will be ruined by that pack of wolf demons."
With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to wipe out the pack of wolf demons outside the mountain.
Ling Pengqiu's expression hardened; he had made up his mind.
He waved his hand and took out a red magic fan from his Storage Bag, held it tightly in his hand, and channeled spiritual power into the magic fan.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the magic fan flashed with a bright red light.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Pengqiu unleashed a torrent of flames from within his magic fan, sweeping towards the Qi Training Late Stage wolf king among the pack of Flame Wolf outside the mountain.
This wolf is the most powerful member of the pack. Once this wolf is killed, the biggest problem will be eliminated.
Although Ling Pengqiu's cultivation level was only at the Qi Training Sixth Layer Refining, the fire fan in his hand was no ordinary object.
This fan is of the highest First-Tier Superior-Grade, and is extremely compatible with Ling Pengqiu's Spirit Root.
It was crafted by Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head of the Ling Clan clan, using the Flame Feather from a Fire Element roc that had reached the Qi Refining Consummation Realm.
Because the fire fan was of a high grade and was very compatible with Ling Pengqiu's Spirit Root, the flames transformed from the fire fan were extremely powerful.
Even the Flame Wolf outside the mountain, whose cultivation level was as high as the Qi Training Late Stage, did not dare to underestimate the raging fire that was coming.
The wolf king immediately stopped casting Fireball Technique and attacked the Defensive Formation protecting River Creek Mountain.
It then swiftly spewed out a large amount of flames from its mouth, creating a powerful vortex of fire that sucked in the incoming flames, gradually consuming them.
Seeing this, Ling Pengqiu waved his magic fan again, conjuring up another burst of flames that he unleashed.
The wolf king outside the mountain, just like before, spewed out a flame from its mouth, which transformed into a vortex of fire, drawing in the incoming flames and trapping them inside.
The man and the wolf thus became entangled in a fierce battle.
The wolf king, at the Qi Training Late Stage, held a slight advantage due to its cultivation being slightly higher than Ling Pengqiu's.
This situation is not a good thing for Ling Pengqiu.
Outside the mountain, it wasn't just the wolf king at the Qi Training Late Stage; there were also twelve wolf demons at the Qi Training Stage constantly conjuring fireballs to bombard the magic array in the mountain.
"If this drags on any longer, the formation will definitely be broken, and then we'll have no choice but to abandon this place."
Ling Pengqiu's expression hardened. In the midst of his battle with the wolf king, he took a moment to retrieve three fiery red talismans from his Storage Bag.
These three fiery red talismans are all First Rank Middle Grade Fire Arrow Talisman, given to them by the Lineage on the eve of the Demon Beast Uprising.
As soon as he took out the three Spirit Talisman Cave, Ling Pengqiu channeled his spiritual power into Spirit Talisman Cave and launched them out.
After the three Spirit Talisman Cave were released, they quickly transformed into three foot-long rockets, which shot towards the wolf king outside the mountain.
Outside the mountain, the wolf king conjured several vortexes of flame, which were already struggling to trap the several fiery attacks unleashed by Ling Pengqiu.
In addition, the three rockets transformed from the Spirit Talisman Cave were extremely fast, catching the wolf king off guard.
Although the wolf king reacted quickly, conjuring up a large area of flames to form a fire shield in front of him.
However, those three rockets were all transformed from First Rank Middle Grade Fire Arrow Talisman, and their power was no less than that of a full-force Qi Training Middle Stage cultivator.
The combined force of the three rockets shattered the fire shield.
Once the fire shield broke, the three rockets, which still had some remaining power, rushed straight in and pierced through the head of the Qi Training Late Stage wolf king.
With the wolf king dead, the remaining wolf demons who attacked the Defensive Formation of River Creek Mountain were thrown into chaos.
However, the wolves hesitated for only a moment before a Flame Wolf with Qi Training Sixth Layer Refining stepped forward, howled, and commanded the pack to attack River Creek Mountain again.
Although these Flame Wolf lack intelligence, they could tell that the three fire arrows Ling Pengqiu had fired in the River Creek Mountain were not his own, but rather were launched with the help of external objects.
Ling Pengqiu, who was inside the mountain, did not care about this situation. He never thought that killing the wolf king would make the wolf pack retreat.
His gaze was fixed on the wolf demon outside the mountain, who was temporarily acting as the wolf king at the Qi Training Sixth Layer. He waved the Blazing Fire Fan in his hand, conjuring several fireballs of varying sizes, and hurled them at the wolf.
The wolf king at the Qi Training Sixth Layer Refining was much weaker than the previous wolf king.
Although the wolf managed to conjure a fire shield in time, it was already struggling to withstand the incoming fireballs.
Ling Pengqiu seized the opportunity, wielding his Blazing Fire Fan to conjure a vast expanse of flames, quickly trapping the Wolf King.
The wolf king, momentarily thrown into disarray, swiftly unleashed a torrent of flames, transforming them into a layer of fiery armor that he donned to protect himself from the onslaught.
However, this first generation wolf king only had the Qi Training Sixth Layer Refining. Although his cultivation level was not much different from Ling Pengqiu's, Ling Pengqiu had a powerful Blazing Fire Fan to help him, so this first generation wolf king was still slightly weaker.
The man and the wolf fought for about half an incense stick's time before Ling Pengqiu's blazing fire broke through the wolf king's fiery armor, burning the Qi Training Sixth Layer wolf king to ashes.
However, as a result, Ling Pengqiu's spiritual power was about to be exhausted, leaving only about 10%.
However, he was born into a powerful Foundation Establishment clan, an elite member of the Ling Clan, and possessed abundant spiritual items and complete equipment.
He took out a medicine bottle from his Storage Bag, poured out a First Rank Middle Grade Qi Recovery Pill, and quickly swallowed it.
With the help of this Qi Recovery Pill, his spiritual energy in his Dantian recovered by more than 70% in just three breaths.
Using this spiritual power, Ling Pengqiu waved his fire fan, conjuring up raging flames that struck the remaining wolf demons outside the mountain.
After successively killing the remaining two Qi Training Middle Stage wolf demons and three Early-Stage Qi Training wolf demons from the pack of wolf demons outside the mountain.
The remaining six Early-Stage Qi Training wolf demons were also filled with fear and retreated together.
Ling Pengqiu, whose spiritual energy was about to be exhausted in the River Creek Mountain, saw that the remaining wolf demons outside the mountain had all fled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the remaining six Early-Stage Qi Training wolf demons have all retreated. Otherwise, if the fight had continued, I would have had to risk damaging my meridians and take a second Qi Recovery Pill."
Taking two Qi Recovery Pill in a short period of time can damage the meridians.
After the six Early-Stage Qi Training wolf demons outside the mountain had fled far away, Ling Pengqiu also quickly descended the mountain.
Concerned that the six Early-Stage Qi Training demon wolves that had left might return, Ling Pengqiu brought all six wolf demon corpses from outside the mountain into the mountain. He then used a sharp Swordsmanship to cut off the wolf skins and other useful spiritual materials from the wolf demon corpses.
Ling Pengqiu killed seven wolf demons, but he burned one of them, a Qi Training Middle Stage Refining wolf demon, to ashes with his raging fire, so he did not obtain its corpse.
