Spirit ore could form in regions where the earth contained a high concentration of certain minerals and metals, provided there was also abundant ambient spiritual qi or elemental essence. Spirit Stones, however, required a completely different environment. They formed naturally around spiritual veins, where spiritual qi was continuously condensed and crystallized over long periods of time.Yet there were clearly spirit stones embedded within the walls of this mine.According to the information provided by the sect, this place had always been classified as a spirit ore mine precisely because it did not contain a spiritual vein. The mine had existed for hundreds of years and had consistently produced only spirit ores.So why were spirit stones suddenly appearing here? Could it be the reason why the density of spiritual qi had increased so drastically?Lin Wuchen continued deeper into the tunnel, following the increasingly dense Spiritual Qi. Before long, he reached the end of the tunnel

The area where Lin Wuchen had slashed began to glow as Spiritual Qi surged toward the wound, rapidly repairing the damaged flesh.Before the injury could fully recover, Lin Wuchen raised his sword once more."Void Sundering Slash!"A massive arc of Nihility Qi tore through the air with overwhelming force, heading straight toward the same spot he had struck moments earlier.Sensing the incoming attack, the Spirit Devouring Centipede immediately shifted its massive body, narrowly avoiding the blade's edge."Boom!"The arc of sword light struck its crystalline carapace instead. The tremendous impact sent the Spirit Devouring Centipede flying backward, its massive body crashing into the distance with tremendous force.Lin Wuchen's expression remained calm.He knew that killing this beast would require him to continuously attack its weak points and prevent it from fully recovering.Without hesitation, he shot forward, closing the distance between them. He swung his sword once more, aiming

Lin Wuchen then took out the Spirit Devouring Centipede's Beast Core and crystalline carapace and handed them to the attendant in exchange for contribution points.After carefully appraising both items, the attendant awarded him a total of 4,350 contribution points.With that settled, Lin Wuchen returned to his room, intending to refine the Spirit Devouring Centipede's crystal core and properly consolidate his cultivation base.Upon returning to his room, Lin Wuchen brought the beast egg out of his inner world and placed it on his bed. He then took out the Volcanic Flame Ore he had purchased from the Treasure Pavilion and placed it beside the egg.The instant the egg sensed the presence of the Volcanic Flame Ore, it began to tremble faintly.A moment later, the Fire Essence within the ore was drawn toward the egg and rapidly absorbed into its shell.The beserk Fire Essence contained within the ore seemed to pose no problem for the egg. Instead, it absorbed the energy greedily, with fa

The elder supervising the battle immediately made his way to the platform to check on the silver-robed disciple.The match had been intended as a normal challenge battle, not a life-and-death confrontation. Seeing the youth lying motionless, the elder immediately grew concerned and examined his condition, quickly confirming that he was still alive and had merely fallen unconscious.The elder breathed a sigh of relief before turning his gaze toward Yue Zhifeng. The expression in his eyes had changed completely, as though he were looking at some kind of monster.While examining the youth, the elder had noticed something else. Although there were no visible injuries on the youth's body, his soul had clearly sustained damage.A soul injury was no trivial matter. Unlike physical wounds, which could often be treated with ordinary medicinal pills and healing techniques, injuries to the soul were considerably more difficult to recover from. They required far more time and effort to heal, and

Meanwhile, Lin Wuchen had already left the battle arena. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened or where Yue Zhifeng had been taken, he could guess that he had probably been summoned for some reason and might not be coming back anytime soon. There was therefore no reason for him to remain in the arena any longer.Lin Wuchen decided to walk around the sect marketplace and purchase a few things he might need in the secret realm with the few contribution points he had left.He first went to a clothing store and bought several sets of robes.He didn't know how long he would spend in the Forgotten Legacy Secret Realm. The sect had yet to properly brief them on what awaited them inside, but Lin Wuchen was certain that a secret realm capable of attracting top geniuses from across the Profound Haven World would be anything but peaceful.There would undoubtedly be fierce battles inside the secret realm, and his robes could easily be damaged or even destroyed during a fight. It was b
