Huang Lingdans effect is much stronger than that of the Qi Wu Wan. Qin Lingyun didnt know, even for the core disciples of the Dà Mén Pài, a spiritual elixir like Huang Lingdan that can improve ones cultivation, only those who have made great contributions to the sect can be rewarded with a few pills. No matter which sect, the elixirs that refine and advance ones cultivation are always the rarest and most precious treasures.

  Qin Lingyun was the one who had the extraordinary purple spiritual blood, and could refine medicinal materials into dan medicine with 100% success rate, which was equivalent to having almost infinite dan medicine.

  The cultivation that was originally unable to be improved no matter what has rapidly advanced under the strong promotion of the elixir.

  After taking the Huáng Líng Dān, the spiritual energy transformed into a misty aura that lingered inside her body. Qín Líng Yún used all her might to transform this energy and advance her cultivation.

  Time flies like an arrow, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

  On a rectangular bluestone, a woman with a cyan silk cloak and a beautiful face had her slender hands placed at the dantian position, forming a treasure bottle hand seal, surrounded by an icy blue halo.

  As she breathed in and out, a pale blue mist spewed out of her mouth, and suddenly, her entire body shone with a brilliant blue light. Her skin was as smooth as jade, revealing a faint flush of red. Qin Lingyuns pair of clear eyes slowly opened, and she secretly rejoiced: "Ive finally broken through the seventh layer of Qi Refining! It took me half a year to go from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, which should be quite fast. The Anthurium Water Technique said that even with a Heavenly Spirit Root, it would take at least two years to go from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, but I only took half a year!"

  It turns out that Qin Lingyun still has some pride in her heart, thinking back to the depression of not having a spiritual root during the Xian testing in those years, and later on, the first time she practiced cultivation, she couldnt feel the spiritual energy for many days, and how many times she wandered and struggled at the edge of giving up. Today, she has such an encounter, its really a blessing in disguise.

  Qin Lingyun was not self-satisfied, and the seven layers of refining Qi were just a very low level of cultivation. The road to future cultivation was still long, and she needed to continue working hard.

  "Ive just reached the 7th layer of Qi Refining, and I still need some time to consolidate my progress. In another half a year, Ill be heading to the secret grounds of Nujiang. By then, if I can raise my cultivation to the 8th layer of Qi Refining, my chances of obtaining the Forbidden Treasure will increase by several folds."

  Qin Ling jumped down from the bluestone and walked towards the outside of the cave: "I hope Mei Han San doesnt go back on his word, otherwise dont blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."

  Every day after practicing for a period of time, Qin Lingyun would go to the mountain valley to familiarize herself with her spells and magical artifacts. During this time, she had been refining the Wu Ding of the Overlord Mouse and the Small Bell. The Wu Dings seal-breaking effect was very good, it was a magical artifact that was much stronger than the Qingling Sword, and among the lower-grade spiritual instruments, it belonged to the top-notch level. As for the Small Bell, its main use was to trap people, and at critical moments, it might be able to produce an extraordinary effect.

  There is no completely useless magic treasure, only cultivators who dont know how to use it. Qin Lingyun has always believed in this principle. Apart from the magic treasure of the Overlord Mouse, the other two cultivators treasures didnt have any special features, so Qin Lingyun just put them away in her storage bag and ignored them.

  Including Ba Shu, three monks, the spiritual stones, herbs and spiritual pills in the storage bag all belonged to Qin Lingyun.

  Arriving by the brook, Qin Lingyun was just about to release Wu Zhui to manipulate it when suddenly the ground shook violently and the illusionary array churned, as if some living being had disturbed the arrays formation.

  "Could it be an intruder? Or a wild beast that accidentally wandered in?" There had been several instances of the illusionary array being triggered before, and most of the time it was just wild rabbits or mountain dogs that had strayed into the area unintentionally and then became trapped inside. So far, there had never been any cases of an intruder.

  Qin Lingyun immediately struck out a spiritual light on the illusion array, changing its shielding function to allow herself to see clearly through the array at the living beings that had rushed into it.

  Through the illusion array, Qin Lingyun saw a golden light flying at the front end of the illusion array, constantly circling around, and she couldnt help but feel a thread of curiosity.

  "It doesnt seem like an ordinary beast, nor does it look like other cultivators breaking through the array. Could it be some kind of strange demon beast?" There are many demon beasts in the Jiaohu Mountains, most of which have a strong sense of territoriality and are unlikely to leave their territory and intrude into other places, so for so long, not a single demon beast has mistakenly entered the fantasy array.

  Qin Lingyun had once conducted an experiment, where she caught ordinary wild beasts and fed them her own fresh blood. She discovered that this could not make the ordinary wild beasts advance into slightly intelligent demonic beasts. At the same time, she also fed fresh blood to a Bloodthirsty Lion Beast, but after it swallowed the blood, there was no further advancement, seemingly having no effect at all.

  She wanted to capture a low-level demon beast to experiment, but the demon beasts were basically all in the depths of the Jiaohu Mountains. She didnt dare to venture into the Jiaohu Mountains alone, that would be unwise. Later, she also gave up on the idea of using fresh blood to advance the spiritual beasts level. In any case, she had already proven that purple blood could make the elixir 100% successful in refining, and with such a heaven-defying ability, Qin Lingyun was already satisfied enough. One should not be greedy, this was something she had understood since childhood.

  At this moment, she saw a suspected demon beast with golden light, and it seemed that its strength was not high. She had the idea of catching it with her hands.

  The golden light flickered uncertainly in the illusion array, but ultimately returned to its original point. At this moment, Qin Lingyun leaped into the air and entered the illusion array. Her body twisted strangely in mid-air, like a swift swallow, her fingers pinched together, continuously casting out spiritual lights. After several flips, she had already arrived near the golden light.

  Qin Lingyuns spiritual awareness expanded, but as she approached the golden light, she was unexpectedly blocked from the outside. She felt a slight surprise in her heart: "This protective golden light not only blocks my vision, making me unable to see the appearance of the demon beast inside, but also blocks my spiritual awareness. It seems that its not simple."

  Golden light flashed by quickly, Qin Lingyuns figure flickered, her hands moved swiftly, manipulating the illusion array, and the mist soon obscured her figure.

  Jin Guang seemed to sense danger and suddenly turned around and flew away in another direction.

  Suddenly, a cloud of fog surged forward, and a perfect jade hand appeared out of thin air, grasping towards the golden light with astonishing speed.

  Jin Guang was about to be caught, but suddenly he made another turn and narrowly dodged Qin Lingyuns grab. However, Qin Lingyun had already anticipated that Jin Guang would dodge in this direction, so as soon as he did, a small bell appeared in mid-air, growing larger and larger until it enveloped Jin Guang, leaving him no way to escape.

  "This will make you unable to escape." Qin Lingyun revealed a satisfied smile, her figure slowly materializing out of the mist.

  The golden light kept colliding with the small bell inside, and the sound of the bell was endless. However, the small bell was refined to trap enemies, so how could it be easily broken through?

  "Dont struggle anymore, obediently surrender to me, or else youll suffer the consequences and dont blame me." Qin Lingyun stepped forward, ready to take in both Xiao Zhong and Jin Guang.

  Suddenly, a strange vibration shook within the bell, an irresistible aura swelling, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for countless years was slowly awakening. Qin Lingyuns eyes narrowed and she halted her movements.

  In an instant, the small bell was knocked flying out, revealing the monster below.

  The monsters body continued to grow and finally stopped when it had grown to a very large size, but Qin Lingyun was already stunned.

  This is a mythical creature resembling a snake. Looking at its appearance, the head resembles an ox, the horns resemble deer, the eyes resemble shrimp, the ears resemble elephants, the neck resembles snakes, the abdomen resembles snakes, scales resemble fish, claws resemble phoenixes, palms resemble tigers, and all over the body are covered with green scales, this is clearly a legendary celestial spirit beast - the Green Dragon.

  Although the fact was right in front of her, Qin Lingyun shook her head and denied her own thoughts.

  The monster in front of him looked like a huge green dragon, but it was definitely not a green dragon!

  The Azure Dragon soars through the cosmos, darting between the stars, rumored to possess boundless power that can shake heaven and earth. How could it possibly appear in a place like this so casually, and how could its strength be limited to just this?

  Although the "Green Dragon" in front of her had a terrifying aura, as if it could blow Qin Lingyun into dust with just a light breath, Qin Lingyun firmly believed that this "Green Dragon" was only superficial. She didnt retreat but instead advanced, patted her storage bag, and a dark light flew out, directly stabbing towards the top of the "Green Dragons" head.

  "The Green Dragon" let out a loud roar, as if extremely angry, but the next moment it vanished into thin air with a swishing sound, transforming back into a golden light that fled far away.

  Qin Lingyun couldnt help but laugh and cry at the same time, she knew that her guess had become the final reality, what "Blue Dragon" was this, it was just a demon beast transformed from the golden light.

  However, this strange beast was able to transform into a realistic green dragon, greatly increasing Qin Lingyuns interest.

  Seeing Qin Lingyuns relentless pursuit, the golden light suddenly stopped and quickly grew larger, transforming into another form of a demonic beast.

  It had the body of a sheep, the face of a human, tiger teeth and human claws, its entire body was covered in long black fur, it was tall and majestic, Qin Lingyun facing it was like a small mouse facing a wolf.

  Qin Lingyuns lips curled up with a strange and eerie smile, which was also said to be a kind of ancient mythical creature - Taotie!

  Legend has it that Taotie can swallow anything, with one mouthful, countless stars were swallowed by it, its divine power is unimaginable, and at this moment, it appeared vividly in front of her eyes.

  However, this is a fantasized gluttony, an embroidered pillow, looks good but useless.

  Next, Qin Lingyun seemed to have watched a live ancient immortal spirit beast, and the demon beast revealed its true form, giving her an eye feast.

  Unable to intimidate Qin Lingyun, the golden light finally stopped escaping and dissipated, revealing a small beast.

  This is a small, strange-looking beast with its legs standing upright, two round big eyes filled with tears, and two front paws gesturing to Qin Lingyun as if accusing her of her heinous crimes. Its entire body seems to be cast in gold, shining with golden light.

  "What kind of monster is this?" Qin Lingyun secretly guessed in her heart, but she had no clue. She casually took out a bottle of energizing pills, poured one onto her palm, and said with a tone similar to luring a child: "Come on, follow me from now on, Ill give you candy."
