In a certain part of Qingyun Mountain range, nestled a valley backed by the shady side of a mountain.


    The valley seemed very damp, perenniallycking sunlight, which made the trees unusually stunted.


    In the sky above, with three trails of sword light streaking across, three youths in green robesnded in front of the valley.


    The leading youth wore an indifferent expression, followed by two men, one robust and the other lean, indeed it was Lin Shiming and two others from Fangmu Mountain.


    In his family''s Treasure Pavilion, using arge amount of contribution points, Lin Shiming exchanged for two Third Rank Spirit Talismans and two Earth Escape Talismans, spending a total of thirty thousand contribution points. It turned out these were found in the relics left by the Huang Family.


    These two Third Rank Spirit Talismans might not be so powerful for Foundation Establishment cultivators, one storing an Inferior Grade Third Rank spell, the Ice Rain Technique, and the other an Inferior Grade Third Rank spell, the Fire Dragon Technique. But after all, they were Third Rank talismans, and among Qi Cultivators, they were definitely formidable weapons of great effectiveness.


    With two talismans at hand, and also possessing talisman treasures, as well as Lin Shiming''s excellent magic artifacts, he finally agreed toe to this secret valley with Lin Shiyi and Lin Shimo who were waiting outside the mountain.


    "Second brother, seventh brother, this is the ce!" After saying this, Lin Shimo stopped talking and walked into the valley.


    Lin Shiming didn''t say much either. He''d known Lin Shimo''s temperament since they were young. Lin Shiyi, standing beside him, gave Lin Shiming a simple, sincere smile, seeming to try to dissipate the awkward atmosphere.


    But after speaking, he realized he wasn''t good at smoothing things over either.


    With an awkwardugh, he followed along.


    The group opted for exploration with a spirit beast and trained corpses. The trained corpses led the way, with a Sabretooth Tiger that had reached the peak of Second Rank Inferior Grade flying in the sky, and behind them a Red-haired Demon Monkey apanied by Lin Shiyi, who practiced body cultivation.


    The monkey had grown more robust than before. The Profound Water Heavy Mountain that it used to need to hold with both hands could now be grasped in one, and in its other hand it carried a Profound Iron Rod weighing a thousand catties.


    Lin Shiming walked in the middle, fondling some seeds in his hand and continuously scanning the surroundings with his divine sense.


    It was very quiet inside the valley. The group walked for about three or four miles without encountering any spirit beasts or sounds.


    Lin Shiming extended his divine sense to the maximum range. This was not the time to conserve spiritual power.


    Finally, within a concealed thicket, a pitch-ck, giant tigery silently in wait.


    The next moment, a roar bellowed out.


    Before Lin Shiming had time to warn the others, the Sabretooth Tiger pounced towards them, its massive fangs gleaming. One after another, golden des actually condensed in its mouth and then fiercely shot towards the three of them.


    The trio, although prepared, was startled by the Sabretooth Tiger''s speed and the golden sword attacks, and they hastily released their Flying Swords.


    Three Flying Swords shot out, but the sword techniques of Lin Shiyi and Lin Shimo weren''t sessful in intercepting the golden sword attacks. Only Lin Shiming''s Green Sky Sword managed to sh all the golden swords into spirit light.


    Almost as soon as the sword left his hand, Lin Shiyi, as a body cultivator, turned into a shadow that rushed forward first. Arge Supreme Grade magic artifact iron rod mmed directly towards the Sabretooth Tiger''s head.


    The Sabretooth Tiger in mid-air also fiercely pped with its paw, striking the iron rod. A loud boom echoed, spirit light exploded, and both were sent flying backward.


    The trained corpses under Lin Shimo''smand instantly lunged at the Sabretooth Tiger, particrly the blood corpse, which was even more ferocious.


    The tiger was caught and let out continuous roars and pitiful howls.


    But at that moment, another whooshing sound rose.


    The same thicket from before suddenly expelled another Sabretooth Tiger. This one was clearly smaller than the one before, but its momentum was still formidable as it directly dived down towards Lin Shiming.


    The target was very precise, andpared to the previous two cultivators, Lin Shiming indeed didn''t seem as domineering.


    Wood-type spells always give off such a tranquil feeling.


    However, while the Sabretooth Tiger was still in mid-air, Lin Shiming''s lips slightly curled, and he cast several Spirit Arts with his hands.


    Three Snake Vine Flowers swiftly rose up and in the blink of an eye, they turned into towering vines that bound the Sabretooth Tiger tightly.


    Lin Shiming didn''t use poison, opting instead for a Second Rank Supreme Grade magic sword, the Green Sky Sword, which flew back into his hand, aimed straight for the Sabretooth Tiger''s head, preserving as much of its body materials as possible.


    The Sabretooth Tiger hastily condensed a Golden Sword in its mouth, only to be smashed fiercely by a Profound Mountain, its head almost getting crushed.


    As the sword light drifted by, this evidently weaker female Sabretooth Tiger was beheaded and died beyond any doubt!


    Therger Sabretooth Tiger nearby instantly let out a mournful roar, its body''s Spiritual Power suddenly doubling in speed.


    But unfortunately, as Lin Shiming cast another set of Spirit Arts, two more Snake Vine Flowers rose up, ying the Sabretooth Tiger beneath his sword.


    With the two tigers dead, the three of them immediately cleaned up the battlefield, collected the bodies, and continued deeper into the valley.


    Lin Shiming did not lower his guard, although Lin Shiyi and Lin Shimo had said there were only two Sabretooth Tigers, being extra cautious was always error-free.


    Upon reaching the depths of the valley, the Spiritual Energy began to thicken; shortly after, they came across the Bone-Tempering Flowers that Lin Shiyi had mentioned.


    These Bone-Tempering Flowers were obviously guarded by the Sabretooth Tigers.


    Lin Shiyi grinned foolishly and looked towards Lin Shiming, as he was the only Spirit nt Master and was also keen on transnting a few to nurture in his own medicinal garden to increase their medicinal age and potency.


    If it were an ordinary Spiritual Medicine, he would have carelessly picked it and wouldn''t bother about preserving the rhizome, but the Bone-Tempering Flower was greatly beneficial for his Body Refinement.


    Naturally, Lin Shiming wouldn''t refuse. Taking out a Jade Box, he carefully harvested the Bone-Tempering Flowers with the unique nurturing technique of a Spirit nt Master, along with the roots, and carefully ced them inside.


    In addition to the Bone-Tempering Flowers, Lin Shiming also collected various yin-natured Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Grasses.


    What surprised him, however, was that there were more flowers than grasses here, and as for Spirit Trees, he didn''t see any at all.


    "Let''s go catch that Sabretooth Tiger cub!" As soon as Lin Shiming had picked all the Spiritual Medicines and after scouting the surroundings, only the central cave had not been explored, Lin Shiyi suggested they head in.


    Lin Shiming nodded, and Lin Shimo showed agreement with his actions.


    Themon walking corpse led the way while the blood corpse followed, and then they moved towards the inside of the cave.


    Deep inside the cave, the three of them indeed found a Sabretooth Tiger cub cowering in a corner, ring fiercely at them, continuously growling and raging.


    But obviously powerless, the cub was quieted by Lin Shiming with a Shen Fu and put into a Spirit Beast Bag, to be distributed after the fight.


    It was at that moment that Lin Shiming''s system prompt sounded.


    "Climb up the cliff, and you shall harvest a swarm of Spirit Bees!"


    Hearing the prompt, Lin Shiming suddenly remembered those flowers and also recalled the peach blossoms that bloomed every year on Fangmu Mountain.


    This was a gift of workers for harvesting Spirit Honey right at his doorstep!
