Chapter 330 A chaotic free-for-all, very troublesome.
Zhong Chun was furious. This was terrible. He had finally managed to upgrade the refining cauldron to the fourth level, and now that it had been crushed, it was useless.
Without the materials in the secret realm, repairing it will be difficult.
With a wave of his hand, Zhong Chun sent the refining cauldron flying back to his hand, albeit crookedly.
Zhong Chun examined the refining cauldron from left to right, then roared angrily, "Kill! Damn it, my cauldron is broken! Be careful with your immortal artifacts!"
Upon hearing that Zhong Chun's weapon-refining cauldron had broken, his friends protested.
They were already used to repairing and upgrading their magical artifacts at any time.
Without repairs and upgrades, will their combat strength be reduced?
Huanhuan lashed out with her tail at the giant tiger, whose immortal energy was dissipating and whose cultivation was declining, and cursed angrily, "Damn it, I'll whip you to death!"
Yueyue kept scratching at the giant tiger's head with her claws, yelling anxiously, "Stop it, you old hag! Stop just whipping it! Dig out its inner core first, or it'll be worthless!"
The Soul-Slaying Sword had been following Yueyue closely, slashing at the giant tiger's head with each strike.
However, they were only at the third level, and even though her sword bounced high off the ground, she still couldn't sever the giant tiger's head.
Huanhuan snapped out of her daze, clenched her fists, and pounded them hard on the giant tiger's head, breaking her claws in the process. Finally, with the help of her friends, she managed to break the giant tiger's head and extract its inner core.
As the inner core was extracted, the giant tiger's massive body crashed to the ground.
Peach blossoms and pear blossoms flew out and carried the giant tiger's body into the Nine-Story Pagoda for disposal.
The group of friends all collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Zhong Chun urged, "Meditate! Quickly meditate! Cultivating when the immortal energy in your dantian is exhausted is the best way to improve your cultivation."
The children did as instructed and all sat down cross-legged.
Zhong Lingxin stood up straight, not daring to relax for a moment, and vigilantly monitored her surroundings.
After the group had completed one cycle of energy circulation, Lele sent a message to Zhong Lingxin: "Xinxin, get to the Megalodon's territory as soon as possible. I heard some noise over there. Let's go there first."
Zhong Lingxin nodded.
They stayed in the territory of the Azure Cloud Leopard for nearly a month in total. It's understandable that some immortals accidentally wandered into the territory of the Megalodon.
However, she didn't want the fruits of her hard-earned victory to be taken by someone else in the end.
Lele led the Ice Flames back to the territory of the Megalodon in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the group of friends knew the situation was urgent. After recovering their immortal energy, they all stood up and rushed towards the Azure Cloud Leopard's cave.
Upon entering the Azure Cloud Leopard's cave, the group transformed into Japanese soldiers raiding a village, digging up medicinal herbs, uprooting trees, and collecting ore—leaving nothing behind.
Zhong Lingxin, along with Zhong Chun, first collected the immortal spring water in front of the Azure Cloud Leopard Cave into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Zhong Chun praised the spring highly: "Xin Xin, you've struck it rich! This spring is amazing, much better than the first one. It's a sweet dew spring with healing and nourishing properties. Use a few drops when refining pills, and every pill you make will be top-grade. Then, use that purple-gold glazed cauldron to refine the pills, and it will be hard for them not to be of the highest quality."
Zhong Lingxin looked around the Sweet Dew Spring and saw that it was true; the plants growing nearby were all excellent medicinal herbs, and most of them were extremely helpful to spiritual consciousness.
It seems that the Qingyun Leopard family has a keen eye for quality.
Seeing her friends plucking the Nine-Story Pagoda one after another, Zhong Lingxin ignored them and led Zhong Chun into the cave.
If she's not mistaken, the Azure Cloud Leopard's cave should be built on a celestial stone mine.
As they ventured deeper into the cave, the immortal energy grew increasingly abundant.
As we walked further in, we found ourselves vaguely shaped like mist.
Zhong Chun praised, "It's truly remarkable that such a small, secret realm can possess such abundant immortal energy."
Zhong Lingxin knew that Zhong Chun, as a veteran immortal, had far more knowledge and experience than she did.
He said it was a small secret place, which clearly meant he had seen much larger secret places before.
The master and servant stopped in a cultivation room.
Zhong Chun casually picked up a futon and examined it closely: "Xin Xin, tell the little ones to look carefully. This is a futon woven from Qingxin grass. It can calm the mind when meditating and prevent one from going astray. I never expected that there would be such a good thing in this little secret realm. We have to move it into the Nine-Story Pagoda."
Zhong Lingmin followed the instructions and sent the message about the calming grass on the meditation cushion to his friends, telling them to look carefully and not to miss it.
After inspecting the Azure Cloud Leopard's training room, Zhong Lingxin stored all the items in the Azure Cloud Leopard's cave into the Nine-Fold Pagoda, and then led Zhong Chun to wander around the high mountain where the Azure Cloud Leopard had built its cave.
With a compass in hand, Zhong Chun measured here and there, and quickly determined the approximate location of the immortal stone mine.
Fortunately, this immortal stone mine was not large. After her companions had cleared the area around the Azure Cloud Leopard's cave, Zhong Lingxin efficiently stored the immortal stone mine into the Nine-Fold Pagoda.
They led their friends to the territory of the Megalodon.
Zhong Lingxin asked Zhong Chun, "Logically, the closer you get to the inner perimeter, the larger the immortal stone mine should be. Why is this one not as big as the one we collected last time?"
Zhong Chun shook his head: "It's not necessarily true that the further you go into the inner area, the bigger it gets. In the last place, it took us several days to get down. That place was buried very deep, so no matter how big it got, it wouldn't be noticeable."
The burial site is shallow, making it easy for the immortal essence to leak out.
Besides, sometimes it doesn't have to be a celestial vein.
For example, this inner perimeter might contain several minor immortal veins.
However, there must be a great immortal vein in this inner area.
Generally speaking, places where immortal energy gathers have immortal veins.
It's difficult for even one or two immortal veins to gather so much immortal energy.
Let's look for it first.
If possible, we should dig out more small immortal veins.
Once a minor immortal vein enters the Nine-Layered Tower, it can slowly grow into a major immortal vein.
As long as we don't damage the main immortal vein, it can grow many smaller immortal veins. This is the principle of endless regeneration.
Zhong Lingxin nodded, "That would be best."
As a lucky fairy, she can now clearly feel the benefits of being a lucky fairy and is unwilling to do anything that harms others for her own benefit.
As the two were talking, they slowly walked to the edge of the Azure Cloud Leopard's territory, getting close to the Giant Tooth Tiger's territory.
Zhong Lingxin sensed Lele's call: "Xinxin, come quick, the free-for-all is going to be a real mess."
Zhong Lingxin was startled and quickly checked on Lele's condition.
Thankfully, Lele wasn't injured, but she was clearly exhausted.
It turns out that there are three tyrants surrounding the secret realm: the giant-toothed tiger, the blue-clouded leopard, and the mountain fox.
It is shaped like a triangular character and located in the center of the inner perimeter.
The Giant-Toothed Tiger has the highest cultivation level.
The Azure Cloud Leopard is next; as a husband-and-wife team, they can also fight the Megalodon to a standstill.
The third Tyrant Mountain Fox only has a cultivation level of the third rank.
However, the mountain foxes are gregarious mythical beasts, numbering in the hundreds.
Moreover, mountain raccoons are combative, and when they get angry, they will fight to the death.
Even the white-necked owl suffered greatly under their claws and could only stay on the edge of the inner perimeter.
The mountain leopard population is large, so it can get information faster than others. Long ago, some mountain leopards spotted the Megalodon lurking at the edge of the Blue Cloud Leopard's territory.
