Since seeing Lu Wanqiu at Mingyin Temple, Zhao Huai only exchanged pleasantries with her for a while before bidding farewell.

At most, he repeatedly asked Abbot Mingguang for more details of the story.

Although both he and Lu Wanqiu were looking for the Lantern Woman, he didn’t plan to cooperate with her.

It was because he had too many secrets, and spending too much time together would only lead to chaos, so he deliberately chose a different path from Lu Wanqiu.

Moreover, his current strength was at the peak of the mortal world, with the addition of his destiny of Peak Ultimate’s Intension, cultivators in the initiation stage couldn’t match him.

If he learned more magical powers, he might even be able to face old veterans in the initiation stage.

Of course, he could only flee upon seeing a Golden Core Realm cultivator, but Golden Core cultivators rarely showed themselves anyway.

“The spiritual mine field is ahead.”

Following the myna bird, Zhao Huai gradually entered a vast area, with a big mountain behind him. At the entrance of the mountain, there was a cave.

All kinds of transportation facilities were set up, and wooden carts filled with spiritual stones were on display. These were the crudest spiritual mines, not even considered inferior spiritual stones.

They needed to go through a refining process to become spiritual stones.

What could be seen at the moment were civilians pushing carts out of the mine, and the sound of work echoed from inside the cave.

Spiritual crystal debris was scattered all over the ground, which was the impurities found in the spiritual mines. Trace the lineage of this substance back to the dawn of Nøv€lß¡n★

The grades of spiritual stones were clear: inferior spiritual stones were commonly circulated among mortals and small-to-medium-sized sects.

Well-known large Immortal Cultivation Sect Disciples received medium grade spiritual stones as monthly stipends, making them generous spenders.

Superior spiritual stones, occasionally seen in the hands of elite disciples, true disciples, and sect elders, were mostly used for cultivation, and a single one could make an ordinary person in the mortal world rich for half their lifetime.

He was almost certain by now.

This was the place that he had passed through in his dream, the small river at night.

The only difference was that one was during the day, and the other was at night.

Logically, if he continued walking, he should encounter a wooden house and then the woman with a lantern in a white dress.

Following the impression from his dream, Zhao Huai continued towards the front.

The magical treasured longsword appeared in his hand, emitting a cold and harsh light.

The sleeves filled with thunder talismans were ready to be launched at any moment.

As his hexagram changed back to “Fortune” now, Zhao Huai’s confidence grew, as it meant he was on the right track.

His guess was right – the mining of the spiritual mine awakened the evil spirit sleeping here, causing the Lantern Woman to reappear.

As long as he dealt with her, he could finally sleep peacefully.

However, Zhao Huai walked for a long time and still didn’t see the supposed wooden house.

Let alone the Lantern Woman.

The road ahead became darker and darker, with intersecting branches blocking the sun, plunging the place into darkness. Only a few rays of light pierced through the gaps between the leaves, casting shadows on the ground.

“Rustle!”

There was a movement in the jungle, and a black shadow flashed by swiftly.

Zhao Huai’s eyes narrowed, his True Vigor stirred, and the magical treasured longsword in his hand shot out, directly hitting the target.

Suddenly, the surrounding trees began shaking, with countless vines whipping through the air. Looking around, there were hundreds of them.

In front of Zhao Huai appeared a tree – a massive tree that would take seven or eight people to encircle its trunk.

With a single leap, he dodged the vines’ strikes..
