Zhao Di certainly didn't want to be attacked from both front and back, so he also moved his position, forming a triangular formation with the two women of the Luan Yue Sect.

  "It would be better for the two of you to leave now. I don't want to personally destroy a beauty as lovely as a flower." Zhao Di said with a smile.

  "You're dreaming!" The girl on the 12th floor said bluntly, holding up the red jade hairpin in front of her and assuming a combat-ready stance.

  "It seems that the two immortals are not willing to let me go." Zhao sighed and said, while secretly tightening his grip on the talisman in his hand.

  "Nonsense!" At this time, the 12-year-old girl's face was as cold as frost, and her expression was completely different from the charming smile she had when speaking to Zhao Di, who was hiding behind a tree. After saying these two words, she pointed at the golden hairpin in front of her, and the hairpin shot out a beam of golden light, striking towards Zhao Di.

  At the same time, the thirteen-story girl was also directing a three-inch-long blue transparent cone to fly towards Zhao Di. The two magical instruments did not distinguish between priority and almost simultaneously attacked Zhao Di from left and right.

  Zhao Di, who had long been prepared, brought out a crystal-clear ice shield to block in front of him, while holding up the golden long sword to meet the sharp cone. After doing all this, he also threw two talismans at the girl on the twelfth floor.

  A sharp "ding" sound, the golden sword and the pyramidal object collided first, both were shaken back. The pyramidal object had a slight advantage, leaving a shallow notch on the golden sword's body.

  Then the Pearl Hairpin also attacked Zhao Di's body, but was easily blocked by the Crystal Ice Shield. The fire-red pearl on the hairpin suddenly spewed out a large flame, but in an instant it was absorbed by the Crystal Ice Shield, leaving no trace.

  "Mid-tier Spirit Equipment!" The girl using the hairpin exclaimed at the sight, she recognized the origin of the crystal small shield at a glance.

  The other side has this defensive measure, and it's not something that the two of them can break through in a short period of time. The girl suddenly felt a sense of unease.

  At this time, the two talismans thrown by Zhao Di transformed into two yellow lights in mid-air and flew towards the girl. The girl took out a red silk-like artifact, gently shook it, and transformed it into a red light that protected her. The yellow light landed in front of the girl, transforming into two layers of light shields that surrounded her, as if adding two layers of protective shields to her.

  "What's the meaning of this earth prison?" The girl was puzzled and couldn't guess what the other person was thinking. If she were to turn around and run away now, she would have to break through this earth prison light cover; but if the other person wanted to attack her, they would also need to break through these two layers of light covers first. And yet, she was currently in a situation where she had the upper hand, with no need to escape at all - what was this person's intention?

  Although she was suspicious in her heart, she continued to command the Pearl of Flame Treasure to spew out a large amount of flames, attacking Zhao Di. However, the opponent's mid-tier spiritual tool happened to be ice-attribute, which greatly restrained fire-attribute attacks, and almost posed no threat to the opponent.

  The girl was hesitating whether to change into a new outfit when she suddenly felt an astonishingly huge spiritual pressure coming from the Taixu Gate cultivators nearby. Immediately, a silver light flashing small sword over one foot long shot up into the sky, carrying a massive spiritual energy fluctuation, and chopped towards the blue transparent cone that was entangled with the golden long sword.

  "Top-grade artifact!" The two girls almost shouted in unison. In great surprise, the 13th-level Qi-refining girl didn't care about her sharp cone-shaped artifact anymore, but instead used a pink silk handkerchief to emit dense pink mist, wrapping herself up. At the same time, she threw out a jade flying artifact shaped like a small bird with spread wings, ready to abandon her junior sister and escape on her own.

  At this time, the silver small sword had already intersected with the transparent cone. With a "hum" sound, the silver small sword directly cut the cone in half, then without reducing speed, it shot towards the 13th floor girl like a silver meteor.

  The pink mist protecting the girl's body only slightly slowed down the silver sword, which was pierced through like a piece of paper. The girl in the mist didn't even have time to let out a scream before being stabbed through by the small sword and her corpse fell to the ground.

  From Zhao Di using the Earth Prison Seal to trap the 12th floor maiden, to him taking out the top-grade artifact Fish Intestine Sword and killing the 13th floor maiden in one move, only a short few breaths of time had passed. The 12th floor maiden, who had just recovered from her shock, hastily turned around the Pearl Hairpin artifact, frantically attacking the Earth Prison Seal surrounding herself, while she continuously slapped various defensive talismans onto her body, activating seven or eight differently colored protective light shields.

  As the silver dagger slowly flew towards her, the girl who had not yet broken through the two layers of earthy light shields had a pale face and no blood color. This pitiful look would make those with lustful intentions feel both heartache and love.

  Suddenly, she forced a smile, tore open her top, revealing a pair of white jade-like proud ***, and said in a charming voice to Zhao Di: "This Taoist friend from the Tai Xu Gate, must you really drive me out and kill me? If you spare my life this once, I am willing to serve you with my youthful body, let you enjoy a night of romance."

  The girl, in order to protect herself, at the most critical moment, did not hesitate to use her greatest asset as a woman to entice the other party.

  Unfortunately, the opponent was not moved at all. The silver small sword drew a silver line, cutting off the earth cage, the silk scarf law instrument, various defensive light shields and the girl herself into two halves.

  Without showing any mercy, Zhao Di swept his large sleeve and put all the magical instruments on the ground and in the air into his storage bag. He quickly took out the storage bags from the bodies of the two girls, then several small fireballs popped out, turning these corpses into flying ashes.

  Then he took out a piece of paper with a talisman drawn on it and slapped it onto the ground, before burrowing into the depths of the earth.

  After rushing rapidly underground for five or six miles, Zhao Di stopped. He took out a piece of high-grade spirit stone and sat down in meditation.

  This top-grade artifact is indeed not something that a Qi Refining stage cultivator can control at will. Just now, he only used it two or three times, and in less than ten breaths, his spiritual energy was depleted by 70-80%. If he were to encounter another cultivator at this time, the situation would be dire. Therefore, he chose to meditate and recover his spiritual energy in a relatively safe place deep underground.

  With the high-grade spirit stone in hand, it only took an hour for Zhao Di to recover more than 90% of his spiritual power. The remaining amount could be replenished with mid-grade spirit stones while he was on the road. Seeing that the second Earth Escape Symbol on him was about to run out of energy, he didn't rush to come up to the ground but instead applied a third Earth Escape Symbol.

  He wanted to spend some time checking what treasures were in the new storage bags he had just obtained, which led to a big fight among several monks.

  Zhao Di shook the four storage bags he had just obtained, with all the openings facing downwards, and a bunch of artifacts, materials, jade slips, spirit stones, jade boxes, and wooden boxes fell out with a clatter.

  "Huh, isn't this the magical artifact of that Bailianmen cultivator? How did it end up here? Could he also be involved in this matter?" Zhao Di's eyes widened as she recognized the origin of one of the emerald bamboo tubes.

  Apart from this, he also saw an empty leather pouch, which seemed to be the Ling Beast Pouch worn by the cultivators of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

  Several other Buddhist objects also immediately caught Zhao Di's attention.

  One is a triangular token with three holes in the middle, which should be a low-grade spiritual tool. However, it can be inlaid with three low-grade spirit stones, and its defensive power should be similar to that of a mid-ranking cultivator using a medium-grade artifact during the refining period.

  Another one is the flight instrument used by the thirteen-layer girl before her death, like a mini jade carving that is about to spread its wings and fly high. If not tested, it's hard to say how fast this instrument is, but in all likelihood, it's much faster than his flying feather instrument.

  As for the flying speed of the middle-aged man in Baiqiao Gate, Zhao Di was very interested. He also saw it, but didn't know what had happened. The bottom of this wooden boat had been pierced with a big hole, and it seemed that this treasure was scrapped.

  Apart from this, there were seven or eight top-grade magic tools that could be used immediately. As for the more than twenty mid-grade and low-grade magic tools, Zhao Zhi put them all into another storage bag that was not often used.

  As for the spirit stones, there are indeed a lot. There are over twenty middle-grade spirit stones and several hundred lower-grade ones. It seems that the original owners of these storage bags were quite wealthy among the Qi Refining stage disciples.

  Refining equipment materials, talisman materials, and some demon beasts' teeth, fur, etc., are also a bit, but they're not anything rare.

  What was left were a dozen or so jade slips and seven or eight wooden boxes of various sizes.

  It seems that the real treasure that caused the dispute among several people is in one of these remaining boxes.

  Zhao Di opened one of the jade boxes, and a bright, transparent crystal stone with spiral fine silk structure inside shone into his eyes.

  "Mid-grade Crystal Stone! This is indeed a good material for refining top-grade artifacts. That guy from the Hundred Crafts Sect wasn't lying, he really has this stuff!" Zhao Di muttered to himself.
