How could Li Weiyi possibly throw it away? He said, "The precious medicine will emit Medicinal Fragrance, so what about the scent on your body? You should have considered this before the trial."

Yao Yin was at a loss for words when she saw Li Weiyi take out a huge piece of black cloth and wrap the crimson Cordyceps Sinensis inside, instantly concealing all light and smell.

It's the Ghost Flag.

Li Weiyi also crawled inside, intending to use the Ghost Flag to hide and pass this trial.

After thinking for a moment, he poked his head out and looked at the little girl sitting dumbfounded at the bow of the boat, and asked, "Do you want to hide inside?"

Yao Yin chuckled and turned her face away.

"Alright, Conceal Qi as much as possible, so as not to attract the White Winged Spider!" Li Weiyi crawled back into the Ghost Flag, secretly making plans in his mind.

He had deliberately fallen from mid-air to create an opening and test Yao Yin would take the opportunity to kill him. If she did, Li Weiyi would not hesitate to eliminate her first.

The same applies now.

Li Weiyi appeared to be completely unguarded, enveloped in the Ghost Flag, but in reality, he had been waiting for Yao Yin to strike.

"She's only fifteen years old, and clearly has been well-protected since childhood. No matter how cold she pretends to be, she's still soft-hearted. With such a nature, even if she has Pure Immortal Body, she might not survive to the end."

"Forget it, I won't make a move. Let those who have opened the Eighth or Ninth Springs see it; they'll probably consider Pure Immortal Body their number one enemy."

Li Weiyi took a bite of the Cordyceps Sinensis and ate it.

This five-hundred-year-old precious medicine is indeed different; it melts in your mouth, like Jade Nectar, leaving your mouth feeling radiant. The warm medicinal properties spread from your lips and tongue all the way to your stomach, and then spread outwards.

Li Weiyi felt warm all over, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

After a month of arduous cultivation, the barrier of the Eighth Spring has been worn very thin and could be breached at any moment.

For martial arts practitioners who cultivate the Eight Springs, besides tempering their Trace Meridians, the most difficult thing is actually opening up their Wind Palace.

The Fengfu (风府) is an inner world similar to the Forehead Spirit Realm, or Qi Sea).

Li Weiyi possesses the Buddha's Sarira, a spatial treasure that can assist in opening up his inner world, so the final difficulty is essentially no difficulty at all.

Once the Eight Springs are unlocked, we can start by dealing with Li Qing, and then try out the difficulty of the psychic mural.

With Coffin Master's letter in hand, it was like carrying Imperial Sword, so Li Weiyi felt he could be bolder. After all, he was the descendant of the chieftain of the Jiu Li Tribe a thousand years ago, so it was reasonable for him to be a bit more impressive.

Yao Yin sat alone at the bow of the boat, her pair of sapphire-like eyes gazing at both sides of the river, her attention focused and on guard, of course, also on Li Weiyi.

Gradually.

Dense spider webs appeared on the river, some of which spun into nets, blocking the boats and preventing them from moving forward.

Yao Yin glanced at the guy in the black cloth, ultimately deciding not to count on him. She took out a magic dagger hidden in her sleeve and carefully cut the spider web open.

These spider silks are very tough, even more so than those of the Armored Spider. They can be used to weave armor and battle robes, or to forge low-level magical ropes.

But here, it's very dangerous.

Once you're caught up in it, there's no way you can escape.

The small boat's speed became extremely slow.

She saw that many humanoid skeletons were entangled in the spider silk, hanging upside down on the water's surface. Without a doubt, they were former Seven Springs Trials participants.

On the riverbank just a few meters away, there were clusters of fist-sized white lepidopterans, all with membranous wings, clearly sleeping White Winged Spider.

The scene before her eyes filled Yao Yin with extreme tension; she couldn't imagine the terrifying sight of waking them all up.

On the other side, Li Weiyi lay on the boat practicing the Jade Void Breathing Technique, completely immersed in cultivation.

About half a day later.

The ship came to a complete stop and ceased moving.

The unusual changes in the outside world startled Li Weiyi from his cultivation, and he wondered why Yao Yin had stopped the boat.

Suddenly.

Outside the Ghost Flag, faint, suppressed moans could be heard, gradually growing more painful, with rapid breathing and louder sounds.

"What are you doing?"

Li Weiyi emerged from the Ghost Flag and stared at Yao Yin, who was huddled at the bow of the ship, trembling incessantly.

The light was too dim to see what she was up to.

Li Weiyi surveyed his surroundings and noticed dense spiderwebs overhead, slumbering white spiders and ferocious insects, and several hanging skeletons. He gasped, "Don't make too much noise. If you wake them, we'll both end up hanging up there today, and they'll devour us completely."

There was no response for a long time.

Noticing that Yao Yin was acting strangely, Li Weiyi carefully climbed out of the Ghost Flag.

She curled up like a kitten on the roadside in winter, and it was impossible to know what kind of pain she was enduring, as she could not suppress her whimpers.

Why is it so cold?

As soon as Li Weiyi approached her, he felt a bone-chilling cold. He gently touched her forehead and cheeks with his fingers, then her arms, and found her skin to be as cold as ice.

Even more frightening is the dense ice cracks on the skin.

Li Weiyi didn't know what had happened to her, but her voice grew louder and louder, White Winged Spider began to move slightly.

Logically speaking, taking this opportunity to finish her off with a single sword strike would be a one-time solution.

But since she hadn't taken advantage of someone in a vulnerable position before, Li Weiyi was even less likely to do so.

"Forget it, let's just treat her like that baseball bat! I can't bear to break her with my own hands."

Li Weiyi lifted Yao Yin up, stuffed her whole body into the Ghost Flag, and made her hug the hot Cordyceps Sinensis deserticola tightly. Of course, he also fed her a bite. Whether she could survive depended on her own fate.

The Ghost Flag was wrapped tightly, and the muffled moaning sound inside, which contained something, immediately became extremely faint.

Drawing his Yellow Dragon Sword, Li Weiyi sat at the bow of the boat, intending to cut the spider silk blocking the river.

A strange cry came from behind.

Without a second thought, he turned around and swung his sword in a backhand motion, severing the white spider silk that was flying towards him.

"Coo coo!"

A White Winged Spider the size of a fist swiftly crawled away and disappeared from a spider silk several meters away.

But the cry from its mouth startled all the sleeping white spheres on both sides of the river, and they all raised their heads, revealing dark red eyes, densely packed like a red sea of stars.

"Damn it."

Li Weiyi no longer hesitated; he only wanted to escape immediately. He used his magical energy to power the Yellow Dragon Sword and slashed forward to clear a path.

Upon being touched by the yellow sword light, all the spider silk instantly melted.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

Countless spider silks shot towards him from all directions.

"Ruyi Qiankun Sword"

Li Weiyi unleashed the second move of the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques, unleashing the power of the Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion.

Once the sword move is unleashed, one sword strike transforms into a hundred.

The sword shadows were like a waterfall, providing impenetrable defense.

All the spider silk was cut.

But more spider silk came flying, and some of the white spiders flapped their wings and attacked the ship.

In an instant, the entire spider cave was filled with a dense cacophony of cries, and white spiders flew everywhere, their membranous wings as sharp as blades.

Li Weiyi held out for only a breath before releasing the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors from the Insect Tube on his back, engaging them in a fierce battle with the swarm of flying white spiders.

Catching his breath, he quickly cut off all the spider silk clinging to his body, headed to the bow of the boat, and rowed swiftly with his oars while clearing a path with his sword.

He was only at the Seventh Spring level of cultivation, and could not release his magical energy to propel the wooden boat like Hidden Twenty-Four.

That's a technique only available in the Five Seas Realm.

Fortunately, the boat was going downstream at a very fast speed.

"Aren't you Emperor-level beings? Facing these Soldier-class Fierce Insect, you think you can intimidate them by releasing just a wisp of your aura?" Li Weiyi was not very satisfied with the performance of the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

Immediately, three Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor went on strike.

Li Weiyi quickly said, "I have a hundred catties of Five Hundred Year Old Cistanche. Whoever kills the most ferocious insects will get a larger share. I'm counting them for you..."

The three Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors that had been on strike immediately took flight again, their bodies bursting with multicolored light, reaching the peak of their battle form as they charged back and forth among the white spider swarm.

The dead insects fell like rain.

"Coo coo!"

A deep, resonant cry echoed from the depths of the cave on the right.

Li Weiyi immediately became alert and discovered that deep inside the cave, there was a Cordyceps Sinensis emitting a purple glow, several tens of feet away from the river.

This indicates that it has been around for eight or nine hundred years, not far from being Thousand-Year Elixir.

"It's grown here in this trial ground for eight or nine hundred years, and it hasn't been harvested yet?"

Just as Li Weiyi was wondering what was going on, a white spider with a huge face and four blood-red wings crawled out from the purple light of the precious medicine.

That deep, resonant cry came from its mouth.

"Splash!"

A white spider the size of a washbasin, with all eight legs moving in unison, moved with the speed of a flash of light, rushing towards the small boat in the river.

"This spider king is definitely not a soldier-level creature!"

Without hesitation, Li Weiyi summoned the Black Iron Seal and struck it heavily with the hilt of his sword.

"Boom!"

The thunderous roar shook the entire cave, and a bolt of lightning shot out like a serpent of light.

The Spider King, which flew in with its wings flapping, neither dodged nor avoided, but spat out a beam of blood-red light that collided with the electric serpent, and actually managed to withstand it.

The four wings stirred up a violent Wind Force, and it was getting closer and closer.

Li Weiyi's expression changed drastically; he had never faced such a terrifying beast before.

The Evil Camel Bell was taken out, and its magical energy was activated.

Completely disregarding whether they would be affected by evil thoughts, they just shook themselves wildly.

"Whoosh!"

A Giant Camel, half-illusory and half-real, appeared on the ship and crashed into the Four-Winged Spider King that flew towards it. This attack finally sent the spider king flying backward.

But in the blink of an eye, the Four-Winged Spider King returned with even fiercer cries.

"Stop killing! Push the boat and get out of here!"

Li Weiyi used his telekinesis to command the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors. Although they were small, they were very strong and extremely fast.

Perhaps influenced by the Evil Camel Bell, five of them went berserk, and only two obeyed orders to push the boat.

"Clang clang!"

Shaking the Evil Camel Bell again, the Giant Camel repelled the Four-Winged Spider King for the second time.

With his internal energy greatly depleted, Li Weiyi knew he couldn't hold on for long. Of course, he still had a trump card: the Buddha's Sarira on the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

However, the Four-Winged Spider King was too fast, and he could only capture it within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) of it and put it into the Blood Mud Space.

The window of opportunity was too short; a slight delay and his body would be torn to shreds; a slight rush and he wouldn't be able to retrieve it.

Meanwhile, the three masters were still inside the Blood Mud Space, and taking a Spider King inside would also be dangerous for them.

"Don't force me to Spring Convergence Breaking Wall."

Li Weiyi really didn't want to attempt to break through the Eighth Spring in such a dangerous way.

Although the small boat was traveling at high speed, the Four-Winged Spider King was in hot pursuit. After repelling it for the third time, Li Weiyi experienced a serious health problem. Not only did a bell sound appear in his mind, but the Six Desires Talisman on his chest also began to flash, and his entire body rapidly became burning hot.

This was simply adding insult to injury; the Six Desires Talisman activated at this critical moment.

"Coo coo!"

The Four-Winged Spider King led a large group of white spiders in high-speed flight, giving chase.

There was no time whatsoever to look for the pills.

Li Weiyi's eyes were bloodshot. Consumed by the Evil Camel Bell, the Six Desires Talisman, and the life-or-death crisis before him, his emotions were ignited. He roared, "Kill!"

Evil thoughts transformed into fighting spirit, lust ignited bloodlust, and overwhelmed all reason.

Riding a camel that was half real and half illusory, wielding the Yellow Dragon Sword, he broke out of the small boat, stepped onto the Blood River, and launched a counterattack against the spider swarm behind him.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were stunned, and then they transformed into seven clusters of five-colored light streaks to give chase.

On the Blood River, a chaotic battle erupted, with the fighting raging fiercely.

"Bang! Bang..."

Li Weiyi wielded his sword with both hands, clashing fiercely with the Four-Winged Spider King. His wounds multiplied, cut by the sharp spider wings. But the more he fought, the more spirited he became, and his reason and consciousness gradually cleared.

"How am I fighting the Spider King? Luckily, I have Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors helping me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have lasted this long. The so-called Guardian Wife is indeed unreliable; she didn't even show up in such a dangerous situation."

"My head hurts so much, it's the Feng Mansion..."

Li Weiyi discovered that the Fengfu acupoint at the back of his head was in excruciating pain, as if a needle was pricking him, but he was not alarmed but rather pleased.

This is a sign that the spring is about to open!

He quickly steadied his mind and began to use Breathing Technique. Gradually, wisps of magical power began to emanate from his Fengfu acupoint.

Without hesitation, he used his spiritual light to activate the Buddha's Sarira, drawing gentle Spatial Power to the Fengfu acupoint.

"Boom!"

A moment later, as Li Weiyi slashed at the Four-Winged Spider King with his sword, the internal space below the Fengfu acupoint opened, and violent magical power surged out, making his sword strike unleash unprecedented power.

This is the last day for double monthly passes. If you still have any, please don't waste them and help cast them.
