Resolving the Crisis

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ling Pengyun and Ling Ruxian, riding their Immortal Spirit Crane, entered the territory of Fruit Bee Ridge and immediately sensed four spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the depths of the Fruit Bee Ridge.

Ling Pengyun used his Aura Observation Technique to observe and discovered that a large area of clouds and mist had appeared at the location of the Spirit Vein in the core of Fruit Bee Ridge.

Ling Penglin, who was seeking help, sat cross-legged inside a yellowish-brown light screen shrouded in mist, her eyes closed, with two array plates floating in front of her.

Within that enormous cloud of mist were four demonic wolves with red fur all over their bodies.

The four demonic wolves seemed to be lost, circling endlessly within the narrow expanse of mist, yet unable to find their way out.

This greatly angered the four demon wolves, who would occasionally spit out fireballs the size of a vegetable bowl to bombard the clouds, but to no avail.

The spiritual energy fluctuations that Ling Pengyun sensed just now were caused by the fireballs spewed by these four demonic wolves.

Ling Pengyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ling Penglin was not in any danger.

"Fortunately, Tenth Sister set up that Bewildering Formation earlier. Otherwise, if these four wolf demons had been allowed to attack the light barrier created by the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation, the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation probably wouldn't have lasted long."

Meanwhile, Ling Ruxian was sitting on the same Immortal Spirit Crane, also saw Ling Penglin's situation deep in Fruit Bee Ridge, and the trace of worry in his expression disappeared.

Once the Immortal Spirit Crane had ventured deeper into Fruit Bee Ridge and was about half a mile away from the Bewildering Formation, Ling Ruxian quickly patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning four cyan flying swords from it, and launched them at the four wolf demons trapped in the clouds half a mile away.

The four flying swords were extremely fast, like light and shadow. In the blink of an eye, they traversed half a mile and disappeared into the mist created by the Bewildering Formation.

Before the four Blazing Fire Wolf within the clouds could react, the four flying swords each pierced through the four Blazing Fire Wolf, leaving streaks of blood in their wake.

The four Blazing Fire Wolf fell to the ground, lifeless, after the flying sword pierced their bodies.

Ling Penglin, who was using the Bewildering Formation Disc to concentrate on trapping the enemy, paused when he saw the four Blazing Fire Wolf that attacked him Sword Slash that suddenly appeared. He turned his head to look in the direction from which the flying swords came.

Seeing that Ling Pengyun and Ling Ruxian arrived on their Immortal Spirit Crane to provide support, the gloom on her face vanished instantly. She immediately stood up and quickly left the range of the Earthen Soil Transformation Curtain Formation and the Bewildering Formation, waiting for Ling Ruxian and the others to arrive.

A few breaths later, the Immortal Spirit Crane landed beside Ling Penglin.

Ling Ruxian jumped off the Immortal Spirit Crane, looked at the vast expanse of clouds and mist in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"Peng Lin, wasn't Spirit Vein only one Earthen Soil Curtain Formation set up here? Why is there also a Bewildering Formation?"

"Thirteenth Grandfather, Eighth Brother." Ling Penglin first greeted Ling Ruxian and Ling Pengyun with cupped hands, then looked at the cloud formation beside her, a proud look on her face, and replied, "This Bewildering Formation was set up by me some time ago."

Upon Ling Ruxian Ruxian's expression brightened, and he became more talkative. "You can set up the Bewildering Formation on your own, so your mastery of array formations must be quite profound. Yunxi has indeed nurtured a good seedling. However, your cultivation level cannot be neglected either. I remember two years ago, when you came here to guard this place, you were already at the Qi Training Fourth Layer Refining. Now, two years later, you are still at the Qi Training Fourth Layer. This kind of improvement speed is really too slow."

Ling Penglin, who had been somewhat proud of setting up the Bewildering Formation, blushed slightly at these words and dared not say another. "Understood, Thirteenth Grandfather."

"You can divide the four Blazing Fire Wolf corpses among yourselves. Since gathering the materials needed from the Demon Beast will take too long, I'll Azure Stone Lake to guard it first."

Ling Ruxian, then jumped back onto the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane Immortal Spirit Crane and rode away from the place.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Penglin looked up and watched Ling Ruxian leave.

Only after Ling Ruxian's figure disappeared from sight did the two of them turn their gaze away.

Ling Pengyun looked at the four lifeless corpses of the four Blazing Fire Wolf lying on the ground within the clouds, his expression shifting slightly, and he made a suggestion.

"Tenth Sister, you must know that I am Artifact Refiner. Could you give me Demon Beast materials from those four Blazing Fire Wolf to refine magical Law Artifact? We will split the finished Law Artifact equally."

Ling Penglin had indeed heard from her Grandma Ling Yunxi that Ling Pengyun was a practitioner of both planting and crafting.

"Eighth Brother took the initiative to speak, so he must have some confidence. Of course, I'm willing." Ling Penglin glanced at the four Blazing Fire Wolf and said with a smile, "Aside from their flesh and blood, there were only some worthless materials on their bodies."

Ling Pengyun thanked him and then told Ling Penglin to remove the illusionary clouds created by the Bewildering Formation. He then led Ling Penglin to use sharper magical Law Artifact to skin the four Blazing Fire Wolf, and to pluck out their teeth, claws, bones, and other Spiritual Qi objects.

Demon Beast are full of treasures; for example, the fur of this Blazing Fire Wolf can be used to make Daoist robes.

Wolf teeth, wolf claws, and wolf bones can all be used as auxiliary materials for forging flying swords and magic shields.

The blood of the Blazing Fire Wolf can be used to refine Talisman Ink.

Wolf meat contains a lot of Spiritual Qi and can be eaten.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Penglin had little experience processing materials from Demon Beast, and given the large size of the Fiery Waves, it took them nearly an hour to process the materials from the four Blazing Fire Wolf.

Aside from the blood, Ling Pengyun used all the materials from the four Blazing Fire Wolf Blazing Fire Wolf to refine magical Law Artifact.

As for the flesh and blood of the three Early-Stage Qi Training Refining wolves and one Qi Training Middle Stage Blazing Fire Wolf, Ling Pengyun considered that his own cultivation level was as high as the Qi Training Seventh Layer Refining, so the flesh and blood of these Blazing Fire Wolf were actually of little use to him.

Ling Penglin's cultivation level was still low, and eating more Demon Beast flesh and blood could improve his cultivation. In addition, he was thinking of Ling Penglin refining Spirit Gathering Formation for him, so he did her a favor and gave all the flesh and blood of the Qi Training Middle Stage and the two Early-Stage Qi Training Blazing Fire Wolf to Ling Penglin.

Ling Pengyun himself only took the flesh and blood of Blazing Fire Wolf in the Early-Stage Qi Training, just to try it out.

After telling Ling Penglin to be careful, Ling Pengyun waved the Green Travel Leaf and flew away from the place, heading back towards Azure Stone Mountain.

After returning to Azure Stone Mountain, Ling Pengyun first consumed a spiritual fruit, then sat cross-legged on Meditation Mat, closed his eyes, and circulated his Cultivation Method to refine the spiritual power contained in the fruit, sending it into his parched Dantian to restore his spiritual energy.

Several hours later, after Ling Pengyun's parched Dantian was filled with spiritual energy, he took off the Jade Hairpin from his hair and injected spiritual energy into it, filling the empty spiritual Spirit Storage Magic Item.

Having finished this task, he opened his eyes and waved his hand to take out all the spiritual items he had obtained.

Two Devil Artifact flying swords, three Storage Bag, a large pile of materials from the Blazing Fire Wolf, and the flesh and blood of Blazing Fire Wolf in the Early-Stage Qi Training.

"Although these two flying swords are First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifact, they are unfortunately Devil Artifact, so they can only be destroyed. These three Storage Bag all contain Divine Sense imprints, so it will probably take quite some time to open them." Ling Pengyun looked at the two flying swords and the three Storage Bag and muttered to himself. Then he turned his gaze to another large pile of materials from the Blazing Fire Wolf.

"I have long since mastered the techniques of Fire Gathering and Blazing Flame Restriction, but unfortunately I only have the corresponding Weapon Refinement Materials and have never tried it. Now that I have the materials from these Blazing Fire Wolf, I can try to refine a Gather Fire Daoist Robe and a Azure Profound Sword, both of which are First Rank Low Grade Law Artifact."
