Although Shi Feng's spiritual consciousness was not weak, he had no magic power and could not control his body, so he could only watch stupidly from the side. The white fox was an ice-attributed monster. At first, a large amount of icy air rushed to the other side's spiritual consciousness, and instantly swallowed up a large part of the opponent's spiritual consciousness. But then, a hot fire spirit began to counterattack, and the two were deadlocked for a while. The fire spirit was obviously more powerful, and the ice spirit was retreating step by step.
In less than a cup of tea, the white fox's spirit had become mostly blurred.
Shi Feng was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only superimpose his spiritual consciousness on the white fox's spiritual consciousness, trying hard to keep the white fox's spiritual consciousness from dispersing.
At this moment, Qin Bing had been watching for a long time, thinking, Shi Feng is like this, could it be that the evil spirit has damaged his brain? No, if this goes on, he will die!
She no longer hesitated. She took a breath, filled her palm with true energy, took a step forward, and suddenly reached out to hold down Shi Feng. She was worried that Shi Feng would explode, but Shi Feng did not move or react at all.
"Shi Feng, Shi Feng!" Qin Bing called out again, but Shi Feng's facial muscles were still twitching, and he couldn't answer. Qin Bing's palm touched Shi Feng's body, and he suddenly cried out in surprise. Shi Feng was a man without any magical power, so how could he have such pure fire spiritual energy? And this fire spiritual energy rushed all the way into his brain. He must have been possessed by demonic energy, no wonder he was so crazy.
Qin Bing suddenly realized and hurriedly reached out to press Shi Feng's dantian. A strong ice spiritual energy was injected into Shi Feng's body, sealing the fire spiritual energy in Shi Feng's dantian and preventing it from rushing into his brain.
Wu Si screamed in shock, "Stinky bitch, let go, ah."
He exclaimed in his spiritual palace, but Qin Bing naturally couldn't hear anything. He just kept sending the true energy in his hand into him.
She was a foundation-building cultivator, and her body was filled with ice and water spirit, which was the nemesis of fire spirit. In the blink of an eye, her palm power had gained the upper hand, completely sealing Shi Feng's dantian, and not a trace of fire spirit could leak out.
The white fox, who was originally at a disadvantage, laughed loudly at this moment. The spiritual energy in Wu Si's dantian was cut off. How could he be a match for the white fox and Shi Feng combined in terms of spiritual consciousness? What's more, the white fox's magic of the underworld was extremely mysterious in controlling spiritual consciousness. The two clouds of spiritual consciousness collided with each other, and Wu Si's spiritual consciousness was quickly torn into pieces.
Wu Si screamed miserably, "No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, ah, I will fight you to the death!", he saw that he was defeated, in desperation, he blew himself up directly, wanting to fight to the death with the opponent, but his consciousness was also extremely weak, and he only revived with the nourishment of demonic energy. His dantian was sealed, and he could not draw out even a trace of fire spirit. The self-detonation of a wisp of spirit could not cause any damage at all.
At this moment, Shi Feng's consciousness dispersed, finally gaining control of the two consciousness palaces. With a flick of his finger, the body was restored to his possession. After Wu Si's spirit exploded, not a trace of information remained, leaving only a vast amount of spiritual power remaining in the consciousness palaces.
Shi Feng was overjoyed, "Master Hu, we actually won."
The figure of the white fox became more and more blurred. Shi Feng said anxiously, "Master Hu, Master Hu!" He used his mental power to protect the illusory figure of the white fox.
The white fox could no longer transform. It transformed from the enchantingly beautiful man into a four-tailed fox. It whispered, "Shi Feng, I've consumed too much energy this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up from this sleep. If you can advance to the Golden Core stage, perhaps you can wake me up. Otherwise, Master Hu will slowly disappear."
Shi Feng shouted, "Master Hu, please don't die. Your kindness to me is as great as the sky. I will do my best to wake you up and help you rebuild your body in the future."
Qin Bing saw Shi Feng's body gradually calm down, but he still couldn't speak. His face was sad, and his eyes were full of tears. He hurriedly called out softly, "Shi Feng, can you hear me?"
The white fox murmured, "My clan originally lived thousands of miles away in the far north. Before I left, the clan's great wizard told me that my path lies in the south. Could it be that this opportunity really belongs to you? I originally hated the Tai Chi Sect to the core, but I didn't expect that we would become half-mentor, half-friend. Shi Feng, I don't have much time, so listen to me. You now have spiritual roots and have learned the Nine Separations Spiritual Method. You must practice diligently in the future. However, you must not let your sect know about this. After all, this is a magical skill of the demon clan."
The white fox's silhouette gradually blurred, even its four tails had disappeared. "I've already thought of something for you. Now that you have mana, you can open the storage bag. You will quietly open Lei Kui's storage bag and eat the Heavenly Rain Grass. When you get out, you can say that eating the Heavenly Rain Grass has changed your physique and given birth to spiritual roots. This Heavenly Rain Grass is a rare treasure in the world, and whether it can produce spiritual roots is unpredictable. You can also say that your mana is the result of swallowing the Heavenly Rain Grass. As for the precious treasures such as the Dragon Skin and the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Sword, do not let anyone know, otherwise it will be a disaster for you."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and his whole body gradually disappeared. Finally, he sighed and said, "I am going to sleep. I hope we can meet again someday." After that, there was silence.
Shi Feng couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. Qin Bing stood by, not knowing how to comfort him. Fortunately, Shi Feng's face was no longer distorted, and his dantian had returned to peace.
After a long while, Shi Feng stopped crying, "Thank you, uncle-master. I'm fine now."
Qin Bing asked, "What happened? Why do you have spiritual energy? And why are you crying?"
Shi Feng was stunned for a moment. "My disciple accidentally found a piece of Tianyu Grass. After eating it, I suddenly became spiritual. Before, I was in the stone chamber. Because of the spiritual energy, I was corroded by the demonic energy. I felt a splitting headache and my consciousness was unclear. I just wandered around in the palace."
Qin Bing asked hurriedly, "Did you see that purple-haired devil?"
Shi Feng shook his head. "I was intoxicated by the demonic energy and fainted on the ground. When I woke up, the demon had already broken free from the restraints and disappeared without a trace."
Qin Bing was startled and pulled Shi Feng up, "Let's go! If we run into him, neither you nor I will survive." Pulling Shi Feng, they rushed to the backyard. They rushed to the teleportation array in the stone chamber on the right. Still in shock, they took out the teleportation talisman and, with a few strokes of the magic formula, left the underground demonic palace.
When Qin Bing came outside, he was shocked. The original island in the middle of the lake had completely disappeared. The entire sky was dyed red. The lake water within a hundred miles was boiling like soup, billowing white smoke rose into the sky, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was fluctuating.
Although there was no one around, it was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place. The people fighting were at such a high level and had such deep cultivation that he could not even compare to them.
Qin Bing said, "Shi Feng, you can't stay here. I have a few spare jade talismans here. You crush them, and we can leave this Thousand Lakes Cave Heaven directly."
Shi Feng naturally had no objection. He crushed the jade talisman and his figure became blurred.
When he opened his eyes again after a dizzy spell, he was already in the valley of Ji'nan Mountain. However, he was surprised to find that the valley was now filled with people. Originally, Xuanming Zhenren was the only one leading the team, but now, in addition to Xuanming Zhenren, the head of the sect, Xuanyi, and the other five Jindan masters from the Council of Elders were all standing there.
After Qin Bing appeared, Xuanyi Zhenren's expression visibly relaxed. Jingxu Zhenren from the Elders' Council, the head of Huiyan Peak and Qin Bing's master, rushed over and grabbed Qin Bing, "Bing'er, are you okay?"
Wei Yunfei also came over and said, "Junior Sister Qin, I'm glad you came back safely. We were all worried sick." He glanced and saw that Qin Bing came out at the same time as Shi Feng, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Qin Bing hurriedly greeted his master and said, "Thank you for coming here in person, Master. I am doing well." He then said to Wei Yunfei, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wei."
Seeing Qin Bing was fine, Master Jingxu was overjoyed. He examined her from head to toe and was relieved to see that she was not injured. He complained in a low voice, "You are such a fool. You almost risked your life for a disciple. If you do this again, I will never forgive you."
Shi Feng said nothing and stood back in the line of disciples. Gu Mingcheng and Liu Suifeng came over and greeted them in a low voice, their eyes revealing gratitude. Shi Feng had indeed saved the lives of all the disciples, including the two of them, by holding up the stone gate.
The eldest brother Chang Qing walked up to Shi Feng and asked quietly, "Seventh Brother, you are really lucky. That demon didn't take you away?"
Shi Feng smiled bitterly, "I'm lucky. Uncle Qin saved my life." Chang Qing chuckled, "Is that Uncle Qin who has the same surname as your mother?"
Shi Feng couldn't help but kick his heel. "You know that demon too?" Chang Qing said. "I'm not the only one who knows. Everyone in the Five Sects knows that an extremely powerful giant demon has been suppressed in the Thousand Lakes Cave Heaven. I heard that even the Yuanying ancestors of our Taiji Sect have come. The Sect Master is currently discussing this matter with the other five sect masters."
Shi Feng said, "Things like this aren't something we disciples can handle. Hey, Senior Brother, how did you get this trip?" Chang Qing sighed, "Not bad, just a few herbs, worth maybe ten thousand crystals. How about you?"
Shi Feng was about to speak when Xuan Ming Zhenren suddenly shouted, "The leader has ordered that all disciples follow me back to the sect immediately. No matter about the trial ground must be spread outside. Anyone who violates the order will be treated as a traitor. Let's go, don't delay." As he said that, he took out the Seven Treasures Gourd, waved his sleeves, and pushed everyone directly onto the gourd. After casting a spell, he flew away from Jinan Mountain.
It was already evening when Shi Feng and the others returned to Taiji Sect. Taoist Xuanming ordered everyone to go back to their rooms to rest, but they were not allowed to leave the mountain gate at all and had to wait for the sect elders to call them at any time.
Shi Feng and Chang Qing discussed it and decided that although they were not allowed to disclose the matters of Qianhu Cave Heaven without permission, they should still pay a visit to the master first.
The two of them went up to Yuxiu Mountain and met Liu Yunzi. They told their master about the changes that had occurred in Qianhu Cave Heaven. Xuanming Taoist said that what happened in the trial ground was not allowed to be spread outside, but the master was not an outsider, so it was obviously not included.
Changqing did not go to the underground palace, so what happened there can only be told by Shi Feng.
Shi Feng didn't hide anything and told the story of the troll in detail. The White Fox's guidance and the troll's teachings were too strange, and he definitely couldn't tell anyone about the demonic techniques he had learned.
He still followed the white fox's instructions, only saying that his spiritual roots were born after eating the Tianyu grass.
Liu Yunzi was greatly surprised and reached out to touch Shi Feng's pulse point. "Hey, Shi Feng, you must be blessed with good fortune. This really allowed you to develop spiritual roots."
Chang Qing laughed and said, "Haha, Seventh Junior Brother, it seems that you have gained the most from the Trial Grounds. Congratulations."
Shi Feng said, "Thanks to Master's guidance, I was able to pick the Heavenly Rain Grass. What should I do next? Please give me some advice, Master."
Liu Yunzi pondered for a moment, "This incident is no small matter. I think something big is going to happen. It's not easy for you two to return safely. You should go back and rest first. Follow the sect's arrangements for everything."
The two of them answered in unison, said goodbye to their master, and descended Yuxiu Peak. On the way, they met their junior sister Xiangjun, who caught them and asked them about their life. Changqing and the other two hesitated, responded with a few words, and then hurried down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Shi Feng and Chang Qing said goodbye, but he did not return to the Sword Casting Valley. Instead, he turned back to Yuxiu Peak and asked to see his master again.
Liu Yunzi asked, "Shi Feng, do you have anything else to say?" Shi Feng replied, "No, no. I got some spiritual flowers and herbs in Qianhu Cave Heaven, and also got a spiritual gathering stone, and I want to give it to Master."
Liu Yunzi opened his eyes wide, "Good boy! You even got the Spirit Gathering Stone. Chang Qing was right. You gained the most from this trip."
"This is all thanks to Master's guidance. Master gave all the Heavenly Rain Grass to me..."
"Haha, so you want to give something back to Master?" Liu Yunzi interrupted Shi Feng, "No need. All the harvest from the trial ground is yours. Why would you give it to me? Hehe, but don't show off your wealth. You must keep that spirit-gathering stone safe and don't let anyone know about it. As for the spiritual flowers and herbs you collected, you can do with them as you please. You can use them yourself or hand them over to the sect."
"However," Liu Yunzi paused, "If someone asks, I advise you to hand over the spiritual flower."
"Why, Master?"
"Hehe, if you don't hand it over, people will inevitably miss you. Besides, do you know how to make pills?"
"Of course I don't understand."
"That's it! You don't understand. What are you doing with those flowers and plants? It would be better to hand them over and exchange them for some spirit stones."
Shi Feng returned to his residence in the Sword Casting Valley and first looked for Xiaopang to get the young eagle back. Shi Feng stayed in the trial ground for more than twenty days. The young eagle had grown a little bigger, and its black feathers were shiny. Although it could not fly yet, it could flap its wings and fly up to a foot high on the spot.
