Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Junior Nephew Zhen Que, what's the situation? It's been an hour!" Ling Yu was the most anxious, wanting to take down the mink king quickly and return to extracting poison.

"Indeed, waiting like this, unable to see what's happening inside, is quite boring!" Ling Wu also agreed, somewhat impatiently.

Zhen Que was the eldest disciple carefully cultivated by Ling Jianzi. He cultivated the fire element in the Qi Refining stage and only practiced water element after the Foundation Establishment stage. With one strong and one weak, he often became impatient. Later, Ling Jianzi severely reprimanded him and gave him a strict order, saying that if he couldn't control his temper, he shouldn't practice both elements.

Therefore, in recent years, this person had changed his fiery temper, becoming calm and even somewhat slow. This was a deliberate form of cultivation.

Ling Wu and Ling Yu naturally understood this, but when it came to crucial moments, they couldn't bear it.

"Two Senior Uncles, let's wait a little longer. That mink king is lying still now. I don't know if it's deliberately creating a deception," Zhen Que said unhurriedly, holding a formation flag and parting the white mist to take a few glances.

"It may also be that it has exhausted too much energy and is recovering!" Ling Yu said impatiently.

Ling Wu frowned: "We should still be careful. We must not neglect Junior Brother Ling Yan's lesson!"

Ling Yu said anxiously: "This mink king may break through to False Core at any time, otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to have Senior Brother Ling Zhuzi dispatch the three of you here. Moreover, those three Ten-Thousand Poison Pills are genuine and contain dozens of top-level potent poisons, which is exactly what this fierce beast needs."

"You mean, it might break through because of this?" Ling Wu stared blankly, looking helplessly at Ling Yu, "Why not use slightly less potent poison pills?"

"If it weren't for that, how could we lure it out! You've seen its intelligence; it's definitely not easy to deceive," Ling Yu said irritably, as if offended.

Ling Wu's mouth twitched, and he finally swallowed the harsh words that came to his lips, turning to look at Zhen Que: "Junior Nephew Zhen Que, don't wait any longer, open a passage, and the three of us will attack together. It's fine even if we kill it!"

Zhen Que nodded: "Please prepare yourselves, two Senior Uncles!"

"Open it towards the Chao Stream side!"

Zhen Que waved the formation flag in his hand and pointed it towards the outside of the white mist. Immediately, the surrounding spiritual power flowed rapidly, and the white mist rotated, revealing a seemingly real passage towards the three of them.

"Where's the mink king?" Ling Wu asked.

"No, it's gone..." Zhen Que's composed face finally showed a look of horror for the first time, his eyes wide open, looking around.

"Not good, it's an illusion! Retreat quickly." Ling Yu knew the blue-faced mink the best and was the first to react, retreating rapidly while summoning his wooden shield to block in front of him.

"Illusion? False Core?" Ling Wu's twin blades flew up, but he looked around blankly, not knowing where the enemy was.

"Ah!" A scream suddenly rang out, stopping abruptly. It was Ling Yu, who was retreating, suddenly having his head bitten off by a long beak.

The headless corpse fell to the ground powerlessly, revealing a fire-red giant mink more than ten feet long. Its long face twitched, and it was crunching something in its mouth. Its black eyes flashed with mocking gazes, staring at Ling Wu and Zhen Que, who were on full alert.

Ling Wu and Zhen Que both took a few steps back, but then stopped simultaneously.

"Ascend!" Ling Wu shouted.

The two of them, without prior agreement, summoned their flying sword artifacts, preparing to take off into the air. At this moment, a gust of wind swept in, causing the two of them to stagger, and their flying swords also veered to the side. Then, a slightly sweet smell filled the air. The two of them inadvertently inhaled a mouthful, and immediately felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"This poison gas cannot be dispelled by Detoxification Pills!" Ling Wu held his breath and transmitted his voice to Zhen Que, "Let's each escape for our lives."

Zhen Que's whole body surged with mana, and a deep red fire burned from the inside out, instantly clearing the invisible poison. Then, with a flick of his finger, the red sword shot out a blazing flame, directly striking the still-watchful Blue-Faced Mink King.

The mink king feared this fire, and with a flash of its body, it dodged away. Zhen Que, however, used all his mana, like a madman, his red sword spinning, and streams of flames flew out, chasing after the mink king's huge body, bombarding it.

Although he was fearless and his fire technique was fierce, he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his mana was still shallow, and he had no divine sense. Although his attacks were fierce, none of them were effective, and they were all easily dodged by the mink king.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Wu stepped on his flying sword and rose to more than ten feet in the air, controlling the Yin-Yang twin blades from a high position to slash at the mink king.

The mink king's eyes revealed a disdainful look, and it easily avoided the flying knives with a spin, instantly crashing into Zhen Que, who was still attacking fiercely, shattering his bones and sending him flying to the cave entrance, killing him instantly.

Ling Wu's expression froze, and with a change of the magic spell in his hand, he retracted the twin blades. He glanced at the corpses of Ling Yu and Zhen Que, sighed, and then left on his sword.

The Blue-Faced Mink King made two "tsk, tsk" sounds at his departing back, as if mocking his cowardice and incompetence. Then, it raised its neck and let out a sharp "squeak," and then, like a flash of lightning, it darted towards a boulder on the left cliff.

This stone was about a hundred feet away from it, but it only took a breath to reach the stone. Behind the stone was the hidden Zhang Yuanjing, who was stabbed by that scream, causing his soul to ache severely and fall into a moment of coma. When he woke up, a sharp beak exuding a strong fishy smell was already biting towards his head, it was the Blue-Faced Mink King.

It is said that Zhang Yuanjing tracked all the way and saw Ling Wu and the other four landed at the cave entrance by the stream from afar, and then hid themselves. He immediately guessed that the cave must be the mink king's nest. Ling Wu and others concealed their breath, and both their five senses and divine consciousness were in a state of contraction. He carefully sneaked to the rock a hundred feet above them, and also cast the breath-holding technique, hiding here, observing nearby.

He originally wanted to wait for the others to take down the mink king, and then surprise them, injure them, and seize the beast. Unexpectedly, the situation in the field changed suddenly. The mink king broke through to the False Core stage on the spot, showing great power, beheading two people, and scaring one away. Zhang Yuanjing thought that the mink king had not yet discovered him, so he did not run away immediately, but continued to hide, waiting for the mink king to leave.

This hesitation gave the mink king the opportunity to attack.

Zhang Yuanjing subconsciously visualized a golden shield, colliding with the mink king's sharp beak. The mink king did not expect that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have such a powerful defensive magic weapon, and was immediately knocked into a daze, flying down the cliff.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly sacrificed the Yin Wind Blade, and slashed it on the mink king's neck with one blow. The mink king twisted its body in the air, unloading its force, but still drew a bloodstain. Although it was in the False Core Realm and understood new talent skills, its strength and defense were not outstanding. It was good at speed, poison, illusion attacks, and wind attacks.

The mink king roared angrily, and borrowed strength from a boulder on the cliff, rushing towards Zhang Yuanjing again, making strange "bo bo bo" sounds in its mouth. This was a kind of illusion attack skill it had learned after breaking through the False Core, using sound waves to induce hallucinations.

Zhang Yuanjing's divine soul was only average, and after being attacked by this sound wave, he immediately fell into layers of illusions, only feeling that all around him were mink kings, each of them real, nowhere to hide, and impossible to defend against.

In this critical moment, he instinctively used his most trusted stunt - the Earth Escape Technique. Everything else may be an illusion, but the solid ground under his feet made him feel safe and real, and he immediately activated the Earth Dividing Art and drilled into the ground.

The mink king's illusion attack succeeded, thinking that it was bound to succeed. It rushed over, opened its mouth, and wanted to bite this hateful cultivator who was hiding aside and intended to be mischievous, but it bit into the air. The cultivator suddenly disappeared into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

It immediately flew into a rage, turning around in place, constantly digging the soil with its front and back feet, and soon dug a pit several feet deep. However, although this cliff was covered with boulders, there were also soil belts several feet wide and tens of feet thick between the boulders. Zhang Yuanjing had already escaped more than ten feet away along this soil belt.

Seeing that there was no one in the soil, the mink king jumped onto the boulder next to it and turned its head, listening in all directions. Monsters need to reach the Transformation Realm to cultivate divine consciousness. Below the Demon Core, they only rely on their innate perception. The mink king's sense of smell and hearing were especially strong. As soon as it calmed down, it quickly discovered Zhang Yuanjing's location, and immediately pounced over.

The walls of this cliff are all giant rocks. The so-called soil belt is just the silt that has been washed down from the top of the cliff by rainwater over thousands of years, accumulating in the gullies between the giant rocks. Therefore, Zhang Yuanjing could not escape at will, but could only follow this gully and go downwards. However, whether going up or down, once he reached the end of the cliff wall, he needed to reveal his figure and pass over a certain distance before he could enter the soil again.

If the mink king was far away, it would naturally be fine. However, since it had already discovered the movement, it had been chasing closely, always walking quickly above Zhang Yuanjing.

Escaping to a place close to the bottom of the cliff, Zhang Yuanjing saw that the bottom was a suspended piece, and was immediately dumbfounded, and stopped in the soil. The mink king then aimed at his position and stomped on the soil with its hind legs. For a time, soil and rocks fell, and this soil belt showed signs of collapsing downwards.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly changed direction and rushed towards the top of the cliff. The mink king roared, exerted force on its four feet, climbed upwards, and chased after him. His speed in the soil was limited, and he was quickly caught up by the mink king, and it became a pattern of him being inside and the mink king being outside, the two of them moving in sync.

When he was about to reach the top of the cliff, it was also his fate that he was not to die. There happened to be a cave connected to the soil belt. Without thinking, he immediately drilled into the cave and flew towards the depths of the cave.

The mink king climbed up a few feet, and found that Zhang Yuanjing's movement was actually towards the inside of the cliff, and immediately turned around and came down, found the entrance of the cave, and darted in.

This cave was very large, more than ten feet high and wide, and the ground was very smooth. The first twenty or so feet were straight, and then it was rugged and winding, which was very difficult to walk. However, the mink king was not affected at all, and traveled like flying, turning freely. On the other hand, Zhang Yuanjing, although stepping on a flying sword, could not speed up at all. He escaped only thirty or forty feet before being caught up by the mink king.

The mink king was extremely excited, and howled in the cave, which was shrill and terrifying, scaring Zhang Yuanjing into a shiver, and he fell from the flying sword. He raised his right hand and threw out two low-grade middle-grade earth wall talismans that he had already held in his hand, forming two yellow qi walls a foot thick, blocking the center of the cave. Then he climbed up, drove his sword, and continued to escape forward.

These two talismans were found from Guo Yuqing's storage bag. They were very precious, and at this time they saved Zhang Yuanjing's life.

The mink king stretched out its right front paw and slapped it on the qi wall. The qi wall shook violently, but still stood still. Although this was a low-grade middle-grade earth wall talisman, with the mink king's weak strength, it could not break it with one blow.

With the obstruction of the two walls, Zhang Yuanjing had a chance to catch his breath, and sped up dozens of feet inward. However, what made him feel even colder was that there were no forks in the cave, nor was there an exit, and it was always a hard stone wall, with no soil in sight.

At this time, not far behind him, there was another rush of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds, and the mink king was chasing up again.

Zhang Yuanjing lifted a mouthful of mana and accelerated forward. Turning around two sharp bends, the front was actually a deep cave sloping downwards, with no bottom in sight, and he did not know where it led. He gritted his teeth, mobilized his mana to protect his body, and jumped down, rolling down rapidly.
