Chapter 170 This time, she's hit the jackpot.
With a long cry, the Golden-Crowned Eagle King sent down a swarm of golden-crowned eagles, each one a golden blade aimed at Zhong Lingxin.
Qian Shao shouted and stepped forward, waving the explosive talisman in his hand, which sent the feathers of several golden-crowned eagles flying everywhere.
Zhou Jinting fired an arrow, blowing the head off another golden-crowned eagle, and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Qian is indeed amazing; the explosive talisman can hit the golden-crowned eagle!"
Qian Shao frowned: "Watch your step, don't take the wrong step. The Golden Crown Eagles are higher level than us. I only managed to get close to them by borrowing the power of the formation."
No one dared to joke; they all gripped their explosive talismans tightly and hurled them one after another at the overwhelming swarm of golden-crowned eagles.
The Golden Crown Eagle was blocked by the Explosion Talisman and could not get close to the nine people for a while. It could only circle around and wait for an opportunity to swing one golden blade after another.
The golden-crowned eagle flies extremely fast, and it's not so easy for Zhong Lingxin's zither music to lock onto a single golden-crowned eagle; she's always a little bit too slow.
Instead, she switched to a group attack, targeting the flock of golden-crowned eagles in front of her.
Soon, two golden-crowned eagles slowed down and were blown off their heads by Zhou Jinting.
In this way, one golden-crowned eagle after another was killed by the nine people working together.
But Zhong Lingxin's consciousness began to slowly throb with pain.
She knew it was caused by overuse of her divine sense.
She quickly swallowed a spirit-replenishing pill and continued playing the Phoenix Zither.
The speed at which the Replenishing Pill nourishes her is nowhere near as fast as the speed at which she uses her divine sense.
As more and more golden-crowned eagles were shot down from the sky, her face grew paler and paler, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Standing next to her, Guan Lexin caught a glimpse of blood at the corner of Zhong Lingxin's mouth out of the corner of her eye and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Qian, Junior Sister Zhong is injured!"
Qian Shao turned his head and hurriedly unleashed a defensive formation.
Everyone was panting heavily and sat down on the spot.
While controlling the formation, Qian Shao worried about Zhong Lingxin: "Junior Sister Zhong, you should have said it sooner. It would be troublesome if your spirit was damaged."
Zhong Lingxin swallowed another Spirit-Nourishing Pill, leaned weakly against Guan Lexin, and smiled, "I know what I'm doing. Actually, spiritual power and spiritual energy are the same. You can only achieve the best results by using up your spiritual power before you start cultivating."
Guan Lexin supported Zhong Lingxin and said disapprovingly, "That won't work either. This is divine consciousness. You can't take that risk."
Zhong Lingxin felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at her teammates who all disagreed with her. She comforted them, saying, "I really know what I'm doing. Don't forget that I was just using my mind to attack while playing the zither. I have the Refining Spirit skill."
Honestly, I wanted to call it a stop too, but Senior Sister Guan beat me to it.
We are elite disciples, so we have a defensive formation.
You won't suffer a loss.
As everyone meditated to recover their spiritual energy, they couldn't help but shudder as they looked at the dense swarm of golden-crowned eagles outside the defensive array.
Too many, far too many!
The defensive formation was swarming with golden-crowned eagles, all pecking at it relentlessly.
On the defensive formation, one small white dot after another was pecked up.
As the number of white dots increased, the defensive array began to sway slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Qian Shao filled the array with a pile of spirit stones.
The white spots began to fade slowly.
Qian Shao glanced at the spirit stone on the array core that was rapidly turning to ash with heartache, and instructed everyone: "Quickly sit down and meditate to recover. With these overwhelming golden-crowned eagles, no wonder Hongwen and the others told us to be careful."
Everyone fell silent and focused on cultivating to recover their spiritual energy.
Zhong Lingxin also quickly swallowed one Spirit-Nourishing Pill after another.
After a night, everyone stood up, full of energy.
Qian Shao gripped the explosive talisman tightly in his hand and shouted softly, "Three, two, one, collect!"
The defensive array vanished instantly, and everyone threw out the explosive talismans in their hands.
One after another, explosive talismans blasted up a rain of blood.
Those who couldn't escape in time and tried to attack the group while the defensive array was being dismantled were all killed by the explosive talismans.
Zhou Jinting excitedly threaded a long arrow through his throat and shot it at the distant Eagle King, laughing loudly, "Brilliant! This time, we've killed more than we did in the whole day yesterday."
Qian Shao shouted, "Maintain formation and attack as we did yesterday."
Guan Lexin held a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other, and smiled, "We're here to train, so it's not good to keep throwing talismans at them. We have to kill a few with our swords to live up to the value of my sword."
Zhao Nan kept his eyes fixed on the golden-crowned eagle above him and said dejectedly, "My neck is getting sore from looking up. How many golden-crowned eagles are there in this secret place? I'll have to come in and kill them more often in the future. Otherwise, if I come in alone, I'll be completely wiped out."
Qian Shao frowned and said, "Concentrate and don't talk. It's normal for there to be many monsters in this secret place that hasn't been entered for nearly ten thousand years."
For five consecutive days, everyone used defensive formations when they were tired from fighting, and resumed fighting when they had recovered their spiritual energy.
Unable to gain the upper hand, the golden-crowned eagles all flapped their wings and vanished without a trace in an instant, thanks to the eagle king's sharp cry.
Zhou Jinting slumped to the ground, put the longbow in his hand into his pocket, rubbed his sore arm, and sighed, "It's finally flown away. My arm is so sore I can barely lift it."
Qian Shao didn't have time to comfort Zhou Jinting. He looked at Zhong Lingxin and asked, "Junior Sister Zhong, how is your spiritual sense? Do you want to rest for another day?"
Zhong Lingxin nodded, took out a magical hut, and invited everyone inside: "Senior brothers and sisters, I really need to rest for a day. I'm going to sleep. Sleeping is the best way to restore one's spiritual consciousness. Please make yourselves at home. There is spiritual tea in the tea room over there. Please have some."
Without any hesitation, they all went to the tea room to drink tea.
Zhong Lingxin went into her bedroom, set up a defensive array, and fell asleep immediately.
She was exhausted after five consecutive days of mental exertion.
The next morning, when she walked out feeling refreshed, several people were meditating.
When Qian Shao saw Zhong Lingxin, he stood up with a smile: "Junior Sister Zhong's tea is excellent. The senior brothers all recovered very quickly, as if they had taken a elixir."
Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "These were delivered from my shop. Since you all like them, please take one box each. Don't be shy with me."
Qian Shao shook his head.
They had only recently met Junior Sister Zhong, so how could they accept her tea so soon after meeting her?
Seeing this, Zhong Lingxin immediately distributed a box of tea from the tea room to everyone and said with a smile, "Senior brothers and sisters, there's no need to be so polite. I have plenty of tea. If you feel embarrassed, you can give me any spiritual herb seeds you come across in the future. I'll use them to refine pills, as I need a lot of spiritual herbs."
Seeing this, the group stopped being polite to Zhong Lingxin and accepted the tea leaves. They then checked their storage rings and gave Zhong Lingxin a lot of spiritual herbs and minerals that they didn't need for the time being but that she could use.
Zhong Lingxin accepted it with a beaming smile.
She really hit the jackpot.
The senior brothers and sisters had contributed their life savings over the years, and they all donated a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and minerals.
