Chapter 25: Flame Mark

When he opened the wooden box and saw the items in it, Xiao Lin was stunned.

It turned out that in the wooden box, there was a ball of orange-yellow flame mark jumping. This mark was very strange. There was a circle of fire around it, and inside it were three mini fireballs, which kept flashing a faint red halo.

"What is this?" Xiao Lin was puzzled. He had not seen any introduction to this kind of mark in the book [Comprehensive Explanation of Cultivation Common Sense], and he had never seen anything similar for sale in the East City Market.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin closed the wooden box again and put the talisman back on.

He sorted out the materials again and found that he had never heard of many of them. Although these materials were not high-end goods, if they were all taken out for sale, it would be no problem to sell them for twenty or so low-grade spirit stones.

After reorganizing the things and putting them into the storage bag, Xiao Lin carefully put the storage bag into his chest. The main reason why he did not hang the storage bag on his waist like other cultivators was that his cultivation was too low. A cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining could actually have a storage bag, which would inevitably arouse suspicion from those who were interested.

If the Li family found out that he had killed Li Yan, he would probably not be able to survive in the Tianlu Mountains.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin began to deal with the dead saber-toothed tiger. The bone sword on the forehead of the saber-toothed tiger and the scales on its body are excellent materials for refining magic tools, and the bones of the saber-toothed tiger can be used as medicine. It is the main medicinal material for refining a body-building medicine called [Strengthening Bone Pills]. Although Xiao Lin does not have the need for body building for the time being, he can exchange it for a lot of spirit stones if he sells it, so Xiao Lin will naturally not miss it.

It took Xiao Lin half a day to finish processing the saber-toothed tiger. The remaining meat was hung in the cave for later consumption.

After finally finishing the work, Xiao Lin took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag. He looked at the thumb-sized spiritual stone in his palm with interest. It was a water-attributed spiritual stone. Xiao Lin could even feel the abundant spiritual power contained in it. He held the spiritual stone in his palm and closed his eyes to practice the Dry Water Sutra.

He sat there all night. The next day, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation, spread his palm, and saw a ball of white powder in his palm. He showed some reluctance on his face, but at the same time, Xiao Lin was also a little excited. The spiritual stone really improved his cultivation speed a lot. Xiao Lin made a preliminary estimate that if he used the spiritual stone to assist in cultivation, one day would at least be equivalent to three days before. This speed was equivalent to increasing his cultivation speed by more than three times.

If he had enough spirit stones for cultivation, he might be able to refine the third level of Kushui Sutra within two years. Xiao Lin even thought that if he could buy some Yunling Pills to assist in cultivation, the speed would be faster?

However, Xiao Lin was just thinking about Yunling Pills. He got a plant of Lingwu Grass from a young boy, and sold it for more than 20 low-grade spirit stones. It can be seen that the price of Yunling Pills is probably even more outrageous, and it is not something that a casual cultivator of his level can afford.

This made Xiao Lin sigh softly. His spiritual root aptitude was too poor. If he could not use enough spirit pills to assist in cultivation, he might not have much hope of building a foundation. Just think about the third level of Kushui Sutra. If he did not rely on external forces and practiced hard by himself, it would take at least five years. There are still seven levels behind, and each level is several times more difficult than the previous one. Xiao Lin felt a headache just thinking about it.

A green light flashed, and a crystal clear green sword about a foot long flew out of the storage bag. The sword was made of unknown materials, showing a light green transparent state, and the surface always flashed a layer of green halo. Looking closely, it felt soft like water. This sword turned out to be a mid-level magic weapon, which made Xiao Lin really excited.

Xiao Lin thought about it carefully, and sighed softly, giving up the idea of ​​refining this magic weapon. He didn't know whether this kind of sword was a very common batch of goods. If it was unique to Li Yan, if he rashly refined and used it, if he was discovered, it would be obvious to others that Li Yan died in his hands.

You must know that Li Yan is not one of the hundreds of thousands of rootless cultivators in Wuyin Xiancheng. Even if he encountered danger in the Tianlu Mountains, he would die. A child of a noble family like Li Yan suddenly disappeared, and there must be someone in the family to track him down. Xiao Lin naturally would not take such a risk.

But after touching the storage bag in his arms, Xiao Lin still felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up.

He once again entered the strange space between his eyebrows through his spiritual consciousness. He took out the storage bag from his arms, found a stone, and pressed the storage bag on the roots of the sapling, leaving only a few spiritual stones to assist in daily cultivation.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin finally settled down. He left the strange space, ate some roasted saber-toothed tiger meat, and then came out of the cave and headed towards Fengping Mountain.

There is a monster called Golden Feather Eagle living in Fengping Mountain. It is not the strongest among the ordinary primary monsters, but few low-level cultivators are willing to provoke them. This is because Golden Feather Eagles usually come in groups, with dozens of them at a time. If you are not careful and are targeted by a group of Golden Feather Eagles, it is definitely a very dangerous thing.

However, under each wing of the Golden Feathered Eagle, there is a golden feather, which is the material for refining the Wind Control Shoes. The Wind Control Shoes are a primary magic weapon, which is similar to the Wind Control Technique. However, for many cultivators, they prefer to buy a pair of such Wind Control Shoes rather than practice the Wind Control Technique, because when the Wind Control Shoes are driven, only a very small amount of mana is needed to produce the effect of the Wind Control Technique. Therefore, the Wind Control Shoes are very popular in the Mist Hidden Immortal City, and they are basically sold out as soon as they are refined.

Xiao Lin is also very yearning for this kind of Wind Control Shoes, especially when hunting monsters. This kind of magic weapon is absolutely a divine weapon. However, he also has self-knowledge. For the few pairs refined in the city every month, it is impossible for him to buy them with his financial resources and background. In addition to buying directly, there is another way, which is to exchange them with golden feathers. It takes 60 golden feathers to make a pair of Wind Control Shoes. As long as there are 100 golden feathers, you can exchange them for a pair of finished Wind Control Shoes.

In other words, Xiao Lin had to hunt at least fifty golden-feathered eagles to get a hundred golden feathers. This number was indeed a bit too much, but in order to get this pair of wind-proof shoes, Xiao Lin thought it was worth taking some risks.

After arriving at Fengping Mountain, Xiao Lin saw the piles of golden-feathered eagles on the cliff from a distance. Xiao Lin would not rush up foolishly, but found a hidden cave not far from Fengping Mountain. When he was very young, he followed his father to the mountains to hunt, so he had studied the habits of many wild beasts. Although the golden-feathered eagle was no longer a wild beast, but a more powerful monster, its habits were 70% similar to those of ordinary eagles.

Xiao Lin patiently spent several hours every day to observe these golden-feathered eagles. After half a month, he was surprised to find that these golden-feathered eagles, like ordinary eagles, would act alone when they were foraging, as if they were unwilling to share food with their own kind. The golden-feathered eagles' favorite food was a large group of wild goats and hares at the foot of a mountain not far from Fengping Mountain.

If he lay in ambush at the place where the golden-winged eagle hunted, and then attacked unexpectedly, the probability of success was still very high. Xiao Lin carefully bypassed Fengping Mountain and came to the foot of the mountain. He found a hidden place to hide. Through nearly half a month of observation, Xiao Lin had mastered the hunting habits of the golden-winged eagle. He found that the golden-winged eagle usually would not hunt again for half a month after hunting once, and it was always sneaky when hunting, and basically it could eat and drink enough in about half an hour.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a grassland of more than a hundred miles, with countless wild goats on it. In addition, the place was large, so the probability of encountering two golden-winged eagles at a time was not high, and the probability of his successful sneak attack was at least more than 60%.

After wandering on this grassland for two days, Xiao Lin chose a small mound. He dug a hole on the small mound, and then covered the hole with the surrounding weeds. He entered the hole and waited quietly.

Hunting golden-winged eagles requires great patience unless you have absolute strength to fight against dozens or even hundreds of golden-winged eagles. If you really have the strength to fight against dozens or hundreds of golden-winged eagles, you probably won't look down on the primary magic weapon such as the Wind-controlling Shoes. Xiao Lin obviously belongs to the latter. He crouched in the cave and waited patiently.

Three hours passed, and Xiao Lin saw a golden-winged eagle swooping down from the small hill a few dozen feet away from him. A pair of eagle claws directly crushed the head of a wild goat, and then proudly raised his head and called a few times, and began to eat. The golden-winged eagle is a gold-attributed monster. It does not know any gold-attributed spells, but its wings are as hard as iron and stone, especially the pair of eagle claws, which are as hard as the primary magic weapons of ordinary cultivators.

Xiao Lin showed a little disappointment in his eyes. The golden-winged eagle was too far away. His water arrows were fired from such a long distance. Not to mention the hit rate, this time alone was enough for the golden-winged eagle to find it and fly away. So Xiao Lin continued to wait. He once waited in a bush for three days and three nights in order to catch a spotted deer on the mountain. So for him, this patience was still there.

After a few hours, an eagle cry was heard, followed by a golden-winged eagle about ten feet long falling from the sky. A wild goat not far in front of Xiao Lin was immediately hit and its head was crushed by a claw. I am afraid that this wild goat will not know what killed it until it dies.

Xiao Lin was shocked, and a light of joy appeared in his eyes. On his palm, a crystal clear water arrow gradually emerged.
