Chapter 145 Purple Spirit Flower (Happy New Year to Everyone)
After flying for half an hour, Xiao Lin suddenly stopped, with a look of doubt on his face, because from not far ahead, there was actually a fierce fighting sound.
Xiao Lin pondered for a while, then took out a light green talisman from his bag. He gently slapped the talisman on his body, and the talisman suddenly flashed a green light, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Lin's body was wrapped in it.
Then the green light gradually faded, and soon disappeared with Xiao Lin's figure.
In order not to attract the attention of the two fighting parties in front, Xiao Lin reluctantly used a wind-hiding talisman. After looking down and confirming that he was already in the invisible state, he showed a satisfied expression and flew forward.
After flying a hundred feet, Xiao Lin suddenly felt his eyes brighten, and then a strong aura rushed to his face, which shocked him and made him look surprised.
The concentration of this spiritual energy was several times more concentrated than the spiritual energy he felt in the Feimang Forest when he first entered the cave. In his opinion, this place was simply a holy place for cultivation. If he could cultivate here for a month, he would have great hope of reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, not to mention the ninth level.
But his eyes were soon attracted by a deep pool of several feet in size not far away, which was emitting misty white gas. Xiao Lin's face suddenly showed ecstasy. It turned out that there were dozens of Bingyin grass growing around this spiritual pool.
In the center of these dozens of Bingyin grass, there grew a emerald green plant about a foot high. The whole body of this emerald green plant was jade-colored, with only four emerald green leaves extending from the half-foot-high branches, and in the center of these four emerald green leaves, there was a half-foot-long tender stem.
On the tender stem was a fist-sized purple spiritual flower, with layers of purple petals wrapped around a dark purple bud. The refreshing fragrance made Xiao Lin, who was more than ten feet away, feel refreshed.
"Purple spiritual flower?" Xiao Lin felt his heart pounding. Needless to say, the deep pool in front of him was a spiritual pool. Although Xiao Lin was full of hope that there would be a purple spiritual flower beside the spiritual pool, he couldn't help but get excited after seeing the purple spiritual flower.
The purple spiritual flower was undoubtedly a token of joining the five major sects. For Xiao Lin, it was the key to the continuation of the Great Dao. At this moment, no matter who stood in his way, he would kill them without hesitation.
However, after the excitement, Xiao Lin took a deep breath and suppressed his pounding heart. He looked at the two groups of cultivators fighting with a slightly gloomy face.
There were five cultivators in the two groups. One of the two groups consisted of a man and a woman. The man was about thirty years old, wearing a coarse linen robe, with a full head of hair, a bronze complexion, and decent facial features. He was eight feet tall, a head taller than Xiao Lin.
This man was controlling a pair of silver hook magic weapons to resist a flying sword magic weapon and a foot-sized axe magic weapon of the cultivator on the opposite side. The woman had a relatively ordinary appearance, but her skin was fair and rosy, with a bun on her head and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally.
The woman was also six feet tall, comparable to Xiao Lin. At this moment, she was controlling a small drum magic weapon to resist the opponent's two sword magic weapons.
Although the man and woman were two against three, they were not at a disadvantage at all, especially the small drum controlled by the woman, which automatically sounded every few breaths, and a large area of sound waves spread out, and the two magic weapons, a sword and a knife, could not get close at all.
The other group of three people were three ugly men, whose faces were similar to each other. Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that these three people were rare brothers. They looked about 37 or 38 years old. Not only did they look ferocious and ugly, but their eyes were full of ferocity.
Xiao Lin quickly sensed that the man and woman were both cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, while the three ugly brothers only had one who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, and the other two were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.
Needless to say, these five people were fighting each other for the purple spiritual flower beside the spiritual pond. Although the two sides were fighting each other, they would occasionally glance at the purple spiritual flower from the corner of their eyes.
This made Xiao Lin, who was hiding on the side, look thoughtful. It was obvious that if he rashly went over to pick the purple spiritual flower, even if he could pick it, he would inevitably face the simultaneous attack of five people, the joint attack of three cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage and two cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.
Even though Xiao Lin was very confident in his own fighting ability, he did not think he could escape unscathed. On the contrary, he was more likely to be seriously injured. However, considering the evenly matched situation between the two groups, it was unknown when the two groups would be defeated. Moreover, it was unknown whether there were other people hiding around like him.
This put Xiao Lin in a dilemma for a while, but he slowly approached the purple spirit flower. After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin decided to take a risk. He would never give up this purple spirit flower, even if he faced the joint attack of five high-level Qi Refining cultivators.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin prepared to take action.
Suddenly, a huge sword light more than two feet long fell from the sky, but the target was not Xiao Lin, but the two groups of people who were fighting.
Seeing the knife light falling from the sky, the faces of the five people changed at the same time. They knew someone was coming. They pointed at their own magic weapons and retreated several feet. At the same time, they also retreated several feet away. The knife light fell directly on the ground.
The hard ground was broken into pieces, and a spider web crack appeared in a range of several feet. The faces of the five people who retreated changed drastically.
At this time, a wild laugh came from not far away. A bearded man with a naked upper body walked out of the dark fog. He carried a four-foot-long knife on his shoulder. He was seven feet tall and extremely strong. His exposed upper body was muscular and exuded a copper-like color.
Seeing this person appear, Xiao Lin slowly retracted his outstretched hand, with doubt on his face.
Seeing the strong man with a naked upper body, the faces of the five people changed at the same time.
The tall and thin man showed a bit of fear on his face and exclaimed: "Nangu, the Nine Evils of Snow City?"
Hearing this, the naked strong man opened his mouth and laughed: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to know Nan. Since you know Nan, you should know Nan's rules."
The five people's faces turned paler after hearing this, which made Xiao Lin's face full of surprise. Could it be that this "Nangu, the Nine Evils of Snow City" really has some amazing fighting power that makes these five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators very afraid.
"Nangu, do you really think you can deal with the five of us at the same time?" Obviously, the tall and thin man did not want to give up the purple spirit flower in front of him. Although he was afraid, he did not intend to abide by Nangu's so-called rules.
Hearing this, Nan Gu's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the other four people with a fierce look in his eyes: "Are you also going to violate Nan's rules?"
The cultivator in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage among the three ugly cultivators stepped forward, glanced at the thin and tall man, and then said to Nan Gu: "My three brothers are willing to withdraw from the competition for the purple spirit flower, as long as Brother Nan doesn't want our storage bag."
The thin and tall man and the woman turned pale when they heard this, but they still didn't move. Nan Gu looked at them gloomily when he heard this. He said to the three people in a deep voice: "Nan's rules can never be changed. I will give you one more chance. Throw down the bag and leave quickly. Nan can still spare your lives. Otherwise, you will sleep forever in the third floor of this cave."
"That's too much, you two. Let's work together to deal with this man first, and then decide who the purple spirit flower belongs to. How do you think?" The fierce-looking leader knew that Nan Gu would not let them leave with their whole bodies. Leaving the bag behind was tantamount to robbing them of everything. How could they be willing to let their hard work of more than ten years go to waste?
So he sent out his intention to recruit the thin and tall man and the woman.
The thin and tall man was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. Nan Gu in front of him was notorious in Xueling Fairy City, and his combat power was also unfathomable. It was rumored that he had killed three Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators alone, and became famous in one battle. The Nine Evils of Snow City were not a group of people.
It is the name given by the cultivators of Snow City to nine perverted and ruthless people, which means that these nine people have the fighting power to kill several cultivators of the same level at the same time. It is even rumored that even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building would find it difficult to kill them.
It is rumored that Shen Jiuxiao, the leader of the nine evils, once fought with a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building for several hours. Although he escaped with serious injuries in the end, the cultivator in the foundation building period was helpless. Moreover, he once killed four cultivators in the great perfection of Qi refining period.
Therefore, Shen Jiuxiao is also known as the number one Qi refining person in Xueling Fairy City. Except for Shen Jiuxiao, the other eight of the nine evils in Snow City have no record of fighting with cultivators in the foundation building period, but they have killed several cultivators of the same level at the same time, so their reputation spread in Xueling Fairy City.
Generally, Qi-refining cultivators would take a detour when they met these nine evil spirits. As for the Nine Evils, unless they were the ones he liked, they would not bother to attack ordinary Qi-refining cultivators.
However, this Nan Gu was quite special. Any cultivator he liked had to leave his bag before he could leave safely, otherwise he would be killed. However, the bag was almost all the property of a cultivator, so how could he give it to others easily?
Therefore, countless high-level Qi-refining cultivators had fallen in the hands of Nan Gu over the years. Although this person was domineering and fierce, he was also quite alert and cunning. He never provoked the disciples of the five major sects and the people of the big cultivation families.
Therefore, although many Qi-refining cultivators hated him to the core, they were not as skilled as him and could do nothing about it, which allowed him to roam freely in Xueling Fairy City for several years and remain safe and sound.
Although the tall and thin monk was intimidated by Nan Gu's bad reputation and did not want to be his enemy, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed since he had encountered this evil star. Even if he was willing to give up the purple spirit flower in front of him, Nan Gu would never let him and others leave.
Moreover, although Nan Gu's bad reputation was known far and wide, he had never really seen him. If the triplets monks could join his side, the five of them might be able to defeat Nan Gu together.
