Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Fortune Teller Said I Lack Wood Among the Five Elements

Beside a cliff.

Boom boom boom!

Four men and women are hunting a giant wolf emitting black smoke.

This giant wolf looks peculiar, with fur in black-brown color and blood-red eyes. It stands three meters tall, and most importantly, it continually emits black smoke, which wilts the surrounding vegetation like being splashed with acid, turning to ash in an instant.

Roar roar roar!

At this moment, under the combined assault of the four, the giant wolf keeps howling, covered in wounds.

However, the constant emission of black smoke deters them from getting close, leaving them to attack from a distance.

Just then, Zhong Lin’s figure descends from the sky, his feet unafraid of the black smoke, stepping directly on the wolf’s head.

With a tragic scream, the giant wolf’s head is crushed, blood splattering.

“I’ll take this Red Essence Ganoderma.”

Zhong Lin stands atop the giant wolf’s head, looking down at the four astonished, caught-off-guard individuals.

The four looked at Zhong Lin, wanting to say something, but didn’t dare to speak.

The demon beast that the four of them couldn’t resolve was crushed underfoot by this man, dead beyond doubt.

Meanwhile, Zhong Lin, descending like a celestial being from the heavens, crushing the giant wolf’s head, shows a power that leaves everyone in shock, knowing they are not his match.

After speaking, Zhong Lin doesn’t wait for their consent; his right hand makes a grasping motion in the air, causing a giant, translucent hand to appear.

From the cliff face, a Lingzhi flowing with flame-like brilliance falls into his hand.

This is the Red Essence Ganoderma, a fire attribute heaven and earth spiritual object, capable of condensing a Spiritual Body.

Carefully placing the Red Essence Ganoderma into the prepared jade box, he then stores it in his storage bracelet.

Stepping lightly, he leaves, not even wanting the wolf’s carcass, and flies away.

“Hmph! This is too overbearing.”

A female disciple pouted, full of resentment.

But despite her words, she only dared to mutter quietly, not daring to shout aloud.

After all, Zhong Lin’s imposing, boundless aura made her heart tremble uncontrollably.

Only when Zhong Lin’s figure completely vanished did a nearby middle-aged man smile bitterly and say: “The world of martial artists is like this—survival of the fittest. That person not attacking us is already good; if it were someone unreasonable, we might have been slain.”

“Indeed, although we subdued the giant wolf, its actual power far exceeds the Spirit Sea Realm. It would probably take a Spirit Embryo Realm expert with a condensed Spiritual Body to contend with it. Now, it’s crushed with a single step, showing this person’s intimidating strength, far beyond our capabilities.”

“It’s not like there’s no gain, as that senior didn’t take the giant wolf’s body. It might not compare to the Red Essence Ganoderma, but it’s better than nothing.”

Then everyone began dividing the giant wolf’s carcass: wolf heart, wolf blood, wolf skin, wolf meat…

“Zhong Lin, now that you’ve obtained the Red Essence Ganoderma, are you going to start your breakthrough?”

Chen Jia’s voice echoed from the Soul Nourishing Ring, with a hint of undetectable excitement.

“No rush.”

Zhong Lin shook his head and said, “The Seven Star Secret Realm is only open for a month, so we should gather as many resources as possible! Missing this opportunity means waiting another two hundred years.”

Zhong Lin stood in the sky, glancing at the sky above the Seven Star Secret Realm, then moved towards the core area of the secret realm, his figure enveloped in sword light.

The so-called core is actually the place where the heaven and earth essence is more concentrated. The spirit grass and spiritual medicine on the outskirts grow haphazardly due to the uneven distribution of Qi and also have limited ages.

But the central area is different.

The atmospheric spiritual energy is extremely dense, making the spirit grass and spiritual medicine inside precious and rare. At the same time, it’s also more dangerous, with stronger demon beasts guarding them.

Moreover, the “Spiritual Rhythm Dao Fruit,” which the Seven Star Secret Realm produces abundantly, is also located in the center area of the secret realm.

The Spiritual Rhythm Dao Fruit doesn’t increase cultivation but instead allows one to achieve enlightenment and gain insights into Tao Rhythm after consumption.

For the average person, it might enhance perception, but for someone like Zhong Lin, who comprehends Sword Intent, it can improve his understanding of Sword Intent, making it an invaluable treasure.

Zhong Lin’s target for this visit to the Seven Star Secret Realm, besides seeking the heaven and earth spiritual objects to condense his Spiritual Body, is also the Spiritual Rhythm Dao Fruit.

The development of the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill has reached a bottleneck. Without sufficient accumulation, it’s impossible to integrate the middle-grade earth-level Red Flame Technique into it. Therefore, Zhong Lin wants to obtain a Spiritual Rhythm Dao Fruit to see if its power can push the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill further.

His urgency in advancing the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill further stems from greater ambition.

Spiritual Bodies don’t have to be of a single attribute; they can be Water Wood Spirit Body, Gold Earth Spirit Body, Fire and Earth Spirit Body …

So, why not have all five elements together?

Zhong Lin remembered a fortune teller in his previous life saying he lacked wood among the five elements, so he was named “Lin” to complement the five elements.

The fortune teller said that being complete in the five elements is best, and Zhong Lin is quite traditional, always heeding advice.

…

“Ah! Spare me!”

“Senior, how did we offend you?”

“Let us go, we’ll give you everything we have.”

In a dense forest, piercing screams echoed continuously.

Several martial artists were desperately fleeing, wishing their parents had given them more legs.

Behind them, a man with disheveled hair followed leisurely.

The man was tall with a fierce expression, and the hooked nose on his cheek made him look even more sinister.

His hair flowing in the breeze, holding a dark-colored large bow, he strung an arrow toward the fleeing martial artists below.

This large bow was a spiritual artifact. With every draw, he could feel the heaven and earth essence converging on the arrows, making them mere carriers, while the true power lay within the spiritual origin contained inside.

The bowstring quivered, sending a blood-colored arrow shooting out, so fast it seemed like an illusion. The martial artists below fell without even letting out a shriek, instantly blown apart into nothing more than a pile of flesh.

This Blood Arrow seemed to possess a bewitching power; after striking its target, the arrow’s blood-red brilliance appeared even more terrifying, returning to the robust man’s hands once more.

“Brother Feng’s Blood Feather Arrow has become increasingly sharp. Currently, in the Seven Star Secret Realm, there’s probably no one who can withstand a strike from Senior Brother.”

Beside this man was a beautiful woman following him, her eyes sparkling alluringly as she spoke to the tall man, her eyes almost dripping with water.

Upon hearing the woman’s praise, the man grew even more arrogant, his brows fierce, dark golden eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.
