Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 173 I've been waiting for you for a long time

The Heavenly Immortal Fruit is a fruit that only a hundred-year-old Heavenly Immortal Snow Lotus has a chance of producing, making it even more precious than the Snow Lotus itself.

I never expected that she would find so many so quickly.

After the initial surprise, Guan Xun stroked the storage ring, a conflicted look appearing on his face.

The Celestial Maiden doesn't need her to worry, but the snow lotus will wither within half an hour after it's picked, so it's impossible for her to take it all.

If she were to consume them all… the thought had barely crossed her mind when she shook her head; her body definitely couldn’t handle it.

Moreover, this snow-sheltered area, formed by numerous snow lotuses, is filled with the sweet fragrance of snow lotuses, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

If one can cultivate within the circle after consuming the snow lotus, the cultivation effect will undoubtedly be the best.

However, there is nowhere to stay here.

Guan Xun tightened his grip on the rope, lowered his head and looked down, roughly surveying the snow-capped peak. His eyes darted around, and soon he had an idea.

She pushed off the peak with her foot, her tightly clenched hands instantly loosening, and her body plummeted downwards. Then, with a flap of her wings, she hovered far away from the snow lotus.

He stroked his chin with his fingers, then roughly compared the height of the snow-capped peak to that of another snow-capped peak right next to it.

Nodding to himself, he leaped to the back of the snow-capped peak beside him, condensed all the spiritual power he could muster in his palm, and unleashed it without hesitation.

"Boom!" Before the loud noise had even faded, another bombing sound followed.

One blow after another, the snow-capped peaks trembled violently, and even the ground shook incessantly.

Soon, a huge crack appeared in the middle.

As Guan Xun delivered his final blow, the peak was snapped in half horizontally, and with a loud crack, it collapsed to the ground.

Its direction was exactly below the snow lotus. The moment it landed, the thick snow on the ground was shaken up, and the snow-covered ground shook violently.

After the commotion subsided, Guan Xun stepped onto it and walked towards the snow circle.

The two snow-capped peaks were close together, and their summits were situated within the snow-sheltered enclosure, thus providing her with a place to stand.

Guan Xun first plucked and swallowed the Heavenly Immortal, and then casually picked a few older Snow Lotuses. Green spiritual energy surged up and enveloped the Snow Lotuses floating in his palm.

Soon, as the green light dissipated, a few drops of crystal-clear white liquid immediately dripped into her palm and instantly seeped into her body.

The liquid flowed continuously along the meridians, with the snow lotus and celestial hyacinth complementing each other, and a cool sensation immediately spread throughout the body.

A surge of hidden energy inexplicably rose within him, and even his spiritual power showed signs of overflowing.

Not daring to delay, Guan Xun immediately took out the beast cores he had collected along the way, letting them float around him. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and secretly formed hand seals.

The beast core immediately vibrated, emanating wisps of energy that she absorbed into her body.

He had entered a state of cultivation.

Although Guan Xun also wanted to find Chi Rong, this place not only had rare snow lotus, but also countless high-level beast cores, making it undoubtedly a treasure land and the best place to cultivate.

How could we possibly miss an opportunity to improve our skills?

……

Central Tanzania Holy City, Temple of Holy Light.

A chilling atmosphere hung in the air. A man and a woman stood respectfully in the center of the hall, speaking to the woman seated at the head of the table.

Tai Shi Muxue's face was filled with anger, and her whole body trembled: "This is the reason why my father told me. I never thought that he and the elders would all die tragically at the hands of that woman!"

"When I rushed back to Moxi City from the academy, the branch hall had already been burned to ruins, and no one in the hall survived..." Her eyes were red, and she choked up, her anger evident.

The man standing next to her was about twenty years old, and his face was also filled with grief. He gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Then, his bloodshot eyes turned to the woman: "The branch hall was burned down, and my sister and I have nowhere to go. That person knew we were from the Holy Light Hall, yet he still insisted on attacking us. Lord Hall Master, this is a blatant provocation against your authority!"

The woman closed her eyes tightly. Of the five middle-level temple masters, she was once again at the bottom in terms of the amount of obsidian submitted to the main temple, marking the third time in a row...

If the batch in Moxi City hadn't been burned down, she wouldn't have suffered such a series of misfortunes!

She initially thought it was a scheme by one of the other palace masters, but unexpectedly, it was burned down by someone who appeared out of nowhere.

How dare they cause trouble in the branch princes under her jurisdiction...

Although the woman's face was expressionless, her heavy breathing and the constant tapping of her fingers on the chair betrayed the turbulent emotions she was experiencing.

"You may remain in the main hall. As for that woman..." she sneered, "If she dares to step into the Holy City of Zhongtan, she will never return."

……

Snowy land.

Guan Xun flipped his hands over, took a deep breath, and suppressed his aura.

Seeing that the beast core that had been floating beside her had lost its color and fallen to the ground, she stood up and murmured helplessly, "Sigh, it ran out of energy so quickly... not enough."

Within the snow-sheltered circle of the snow lotus, the body absorbs the energy of the beast cores much faster than before, and this is already the third batch of beast cores whose energy has been absorbed.

If only the energy supply were continuous, she wouldn't have to repeatedly force herself to end her cultivation state to hunt for beast cores.

Guan Xun stretched deeply, but it was nothing serious; he just thought it was a way to loosen up his muscles after sitting for so long.

It's a good opportunity to practice.

With a leap, she headed towards the place where she had been engulfed in flames.

Actually, obtaining beast cores isn't difficult right now. The vast sea of ​​fire over there can attract many demonic beasts. As long as they attack Dark Flame, they'll only end up burning to ashes. She can just go and collect them.

However, there are always exceptions. For example, a huge bird like the bellbird, soaring high in the sky, is unlikely to look down.

The targets of their attacks were merely people flying through the air.

For example, there's this six-eyed griffin chasing after us.

Guan Xun's eyelids twitched slightly, and his body stopped suspended in mid-air, turning to look at the huge black shadow flying towards him.

She had only just come from the snow-capped peaks, and she'd already been targeted.

With a raised eyebrow, the dark flames in his hand flickered and burned wildly towards the six-eyed griffin that hadn't had time to get close.

Before it could even utter a mournful cry, it was burned to ashes and disappeared on the spot.

Guan Xun sighed, a mocking smile creeping onto his lips: "They're rushing here to their deaths..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently swept it away, absorbing the beast core that was rapidly falling in front of her.

However, just as it was about to obtain the beast core, it suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Before Guan Xun could react, the beast core seemed to sense an even stronger suction force than hers. It slightly changed direction, slid across the back of her hand, grazed her earlobe, and darted backward.

what happened? !

Just as Guan Xun was about to turn around to check the situation, her indifferent words, carried by the wind from the beast core, reached her ears.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
