Chapter 56

In fact, the recovery of magical power can also rely on some pills. However, whether it's a Qi Recovery Pill or a more efficient Spirit Recovery Pill, they all contain some impurities. It's best to expel them as soon as possible after taking them.

Moreover, while the recovery of magical power is easy, the mental exhaustion requires some time to recover. Wu Hongfei seemed to win beautifully just now, but facing those prayer beads was very draining. Now, after resting for two hours, he has finally recovered.

Compared to him, Wang Chen and Lin Haoming, who had little exhaustion, quickly recovered.

While Wu Hongfei was still meditating, the two of them chipped off some spirit stones. It was better than doing nothing.

Lin Haoming also checked the corpses in the spirit beast bag. The three monks were indeed not simple. For ordinary cultivators, once they die without reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, their entire body's spiritual energy dissipates quickly. But these three little monks' corpses still retained a considerable amount of spiritual energy, which was enough for Lin Haoming's Bone Marrow Worm to absorb their spiritual essence.

When Wu Hongfei recovered, the three of them started moving again.

Wu Hongfei released the blood-sucking rat again and followed it as before, just like before.

This time, they didn't run for long when the passage suddenly widened. Upon closer inspection, they found a large cave not far ahead, where people were currently fighting.

The three of them immediately slowed down upon hearing the sounds of combat, and they also more carefully concealed their auras. Lin Haoming and Wang Chen instinctively glanced at each other, both feeling a surge of joy.

Clearly, it was their turn to reap the benefits.

However, just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, they suddenly heard a strange sound, "Moo!"

This sound was very peculiar, somewhat like a cow's moo, but different.

When the three of them reached the cave entrance, Lin Haoming was surprised to find that at least seventeen or eighteen disciples of Heavenly Sword Mountain were surrounding a spirit beast with a sword formation. The spirit beast had a fiery red body, a crocodile-like shape, but longer claws and a fiery red horn on its head.

The spirit beast, though only at the peak of the first level, was incredibly powerful. Its entire body was impervious to blades, and the flames from its horn were also formidable. Despite being at a disadvantage, it showed no signs of being killed anytime soon.

Just as they were taking in the situation, a woman's voice, neither cold nor warm, called out, "Friends over there, since you're here, don't hide anymore."

The woman who spoke was none other than the one from Heavenly Sword Mountain who resembled Lady You.

Wu Hongfei immediately jumped out when he heard her expose their presence.

Lin Haoming noticed that the woman's expression was clearly surprised, clearly not expecting him to appear.

At the same time, from another cave entrance, a little monk walked out with a grin. It was none other than Fayuan.

Lin Haoming, seeing this, knew that the woman from Heavenly Sword Mountain had actually discovered the little monk, and they hadn't noticed at all.

He glanced at Wang Chen, who also looked helpless. Wu Hongfei, relying on his strength, didn't care at all.

"This benefactor, you and I are truly fated. We meet again!" Fayuan, seeing Lin Haoming, smiled and bowed to him.

Lin Haoming inwardly sighed, "Fayuan, why did you come here?"

"Training, training! The Buddha said: If I do not enter hell, who will? I, the compassionate monk, have come here to help others transcend!" Fayuan said solemnly.

Lin Haoming had seen him "help" before and knew what it meant. Hearing this, he could only "hehe!"

However, after the little monk's solemn expression, his face immediately changed to a sly one, and he asked, "Benefactor, do you know where the lady who was with you last time is?"

"You mean Senior Sister Xie? After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she was taken as a disciple by an elder of our sect!" Lin Haoming, not expecting the little monk to still remember Xie Ruolan, told the truth directly.

The little monk was delighted upon hearing this. If the woman had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was taken as a disciple by a sect elder, it meant she had no connection with this young man, and he had a chance.

The little monk was still thinking when Wu Hongfei, hearing their conversation, said with a dark face, "Little monk, why are you asking so much about Ruolan?"

"Ruolan? So her name is Xie Ruolan, with a heart as pure as orchids, what a beautiful name!" the little monk said, lost in his own thoughts.

Seeing the little monk's expression, Wu Hongfei's face turned even uglier, "Little baldy, Ruolan is my future dao companion, not someone you can think about!"

Fayuan, hearing this, slapped his bald head and looked at Wu Hongfei disdainfully, "Hey! How can someone with a face full of scars and a scar like you match someone as beautiful as Ruolan?"

"Baldy, you're asking for death!"

Hearing the insult from a cultivator of a lower level, Wu Hongfei, without a word, drew his large sword and slashed at the little monk.

The little monk, seeing this, did not hesitate. He wrapped the prayer beads around his hand and punched directly at the large sword.

"Bang!"

A loud noise echoed as both of them retreated several steps, then warily watched each other.

Lin Haoming knew the power of Wu Hongfei's sword. The little monk could block it without transforming, which only meant one thing: the little monk's strength had increased, and not just a little.

Lin Haoming now understood why the little monk dared to come here.

On the other side, the female cultivator from Heavenly Sword Mountain was somewhat surprised. The two groups that were lying in wait actually started fighting each other, which saved her a lot of trouble and allowed her to focus on the spirit beast.

"Senior Brother Wang, what kind of spirit beast is that?" Lin Haoming ignored the little monk and Wu Hongfei and asked Wang Chen directly.

Wang Chen's eyesight was indeed better than Lin Haoming's, and he recognized the spirit beast, whispering, "That's a Fire Crocodile, a spirit beast that lives in lava!"

"Hmm? It lives in lava, how did it end up here?" Lin Haoming asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Perhaps there's lava below where we are, and many of these spirit stones are fire attribute stones!" Wang Chen speculated.

Lin Haoming agreed with his view. At this moment, the woman from Heavenly Sword Mountain threw several freezing talismans. Although the talismans were not of high grade, the continuous use made the entire cave suddenly cold, and the ground and walls were instantly covered with a layer of frost.

The Fire Crocodile, which feared the cold the most, immediately became sluggish as the environment changed. It was quickly overwhelmed and killed.

"The Fire Crocodile's horn is excellent material for forging, and its inner core is the main ingredient for various fire attribute cultivation pills for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!" Watching the people from Heavenly Sword Mountain collect their spoils, Wang Chen was somewhat envious.

For Lin Haoming, with the spirit beast dealt with by Heavenly Sword Mountain, the seventeen or eighteen people there would now have the time to deal with them. And at this moment, Wu Hongfei and the little monk were still facing off.
