Chapter 7: Purple Spirit Ore

The deeper he went into the cave, the darker it became. There were many fist-sized eggs on the ground, and the further inside he went, the larger the eggs became. They looked as if they were about to hatch.

Rows of white spider pupae wrapped in spider silk hung from the ceiling of the cave, making the entire cave look eerie and terrifying!

Qin Yefeng forced down his fear and continued deeper into the cave, passing through a narrow opening.

A thousand-meter-wide underground cavern appeared before him. Jagged black rocks stretched downwards like a staircase, appearing even darker against the gloomy environment.

In the center above the cavern, a thousand-meter-wide spider web could be seen. The spider silk on the cavern ceiling emitted a dark gleam.

A massive spider mother lay quietly in the center of the web. Its entire body was scarlet, and its eight spear-like spider legs were covered in green poisonous hairs.

Qin Yefeng looked below the thousand-meter-wide spider web and found the source of the surging spiritual energy. He couldn’t help but gulp heavily!

There was actually a patch of purple-glowing Purple Spirit Ore here! This was Purple Spirit Ore, a grade higher than Spirit Stones, containing more than ten times the spiritual energy of a Spirit Stone!

From the looks of it, there were probably over a hundred catties of these Purple Spirit Ores!

Qin Yefeng clicked his tongue.

If he could possess the Purple Spirit Ore, he would definitely be able to refine more dragon power and convert it into dragon blood. His strength would become even more formidable, and he would be considered part of the upper echelon in the Qin Family.

He could also seize the quota for the Holy Sun Academy in one fell swoop, ensuring his father wouldn’t be dismissed from his position as the Patriarch.

He had to get the Purple Spirit Ore. Qin Yefeng made up his mind!

At this moment, he was thinking of a way to obtain the Purple Spirit Ore without alarming this spider demonic beast.

Suddenly, the large spider turned its head and stared at Qin Yefeng’s location. Its scarlet pupils were filled with murderous intent.

“Damn it, I’ve been discovered.” Holding his combat saber, Qin Yefeng simply stepped out from the edge of the stone pillar.

Hiss! Hiss!

The spider demonic beast hissed madly, like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone.

This demonic beast was irritable, and its intelligence didn’t seem low. Qin Yefeng gripped the combat saber in his hand a bit tighter, staring fixedly at the spider demonic beast on the web.

The Yin Eclipse Spider Mother exposed its abdomen. Spider silk ropes shot out wildly from its spinneret, condensing in the air like a large net covering towards Qin Yefeng.

Qin Yefeng hastily retreated, narrowly dodging the enveloping spider web.

Subsequently, the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother used the spider silk to lower its body. Its eight poisonous spear-like spider legs stabbed towards Qin Yefeng continuously like phantoms.

Qin Yefeng executed the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique. He dodged the fierce thrusts of the eight poisonous spear-like spider legs whenever possible, and when he couldn’t, he raised his saber to defend.

The Yin Eclipse Spider Mother’s poisonous spear-like legs stabbed into the rocks, shattering the hard stone walls and causing stone pillars to collapse all over the ground!

A tremendous brute force was transmitted down from the black combat saber. The webbing between Qin Yefeng’s thumb and index finger ached, and even the black combat saber was dented with several concave marks.

“This beast’s brute force is really quite something,” Qin Yefeng couldn’t help but curse inwardly. He stepped on and cracked a stone slab, propelling himself upwards, and slashed fiercely at the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother with his saber.

The Yin Eclipse Spider Mother retracted its eight spider legs and directly bit at its prey with its sharp mandibles.

“It seems this beast really considers me its food!”

Qin Yefeng held his combat saber upright, firmly blocking the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother’s bite. Then, aiming accurately at the black spider eyes on the spider mother’s head, he threw a vicious punch.

Boom! Boom!

Several muffled sounds rang out, but the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother only became increasingly enraged.

Along with the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother’s frantic struggles, loose ten-thousand-catty boulders from the cavern ceiling also began to fall one after another.

The irritable Yin Eclipse Spider Mother resolutely left its spider silk, climbed down to the ground, and directly lunged at Qin Yefeng with a desperate leap.

The Yin Eclipse Spider Mother’s powerful charge formed a hurricane, sweeping up crushed stones and smashing them towards Qin Yefeng.

Qin Yefeng executed the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique, making a rapid turn. After dodging the spider mother’s charge, he raised his combat saber and slashed down fiercely.

“Slash!!”

Accompanied by the sound of metal friction, the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother was directly decapitated.

After splitting open the Yin Eclipse Spider Mother’s body and obtaining its Demonic Core, Qin Yefeng walked towards the Purple Spirit Ore.

This Purple Spirit Ore was transparent and purple, hexagonal in shape, and contained a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Looking at these Purple Spirit Ores, joy filled Qin Yefeng’s eyes.

Purple Spirit Ore was an ore rich in spiritual energy. By completely refining these Purple Spirit Ores, he would be able to break through to the Sixth Stage of the Houtian Realm through the Nine Heavens Burning Dragon Art.

Subsequently, after choosing a spot, he directly held the Purple Spirit Ore in his palm and began to refine it.

Golden flames immediately ignited in his palm, swirling around and burning the Purple Spirit Ore.

The pure spiritual energy within the ore was refined into dragon power that lingered around his body. He felt the wondrous sensation of the dragon power permeating and nourishing every part of his body.

A few more drops of dragon blood surfaced within Qin Yefeng’s body, followed by endless pain washing over him!

After refining several pieces of Purple Spirit Ore, intense air vibrations appeared within the cavern.

Qin Yefeng opened his eyes. He had finally broken through to the Sixth Stage of the Houtian Realm. Coupled with his cultivation of the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Art, he could even fight head-on against someone at the Seventh Stage of the Houtian Realm!

In such a short period of time, he had used the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame Art to rise three stages consecutively. He had to admit that the speed was staggeringly fast.

However, using the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame to improve his cultivation required more and more spiritual energy, and the grade of the spiritual items needed was also becoming higher and higher!

Feeling the even greater power within his body, Qin Yefeng’s eyes were filled with a cold glint as he muttered, “It’s time for my revenge!”

Looking at the mountain range above Sheep Mountain Peak, Qin Yefeng’s heart was already brimming with killing intent.

At this moment, in a mountain forest not far from where Qin Yefeng was in secluded cultivation.

Liu Qian was preparing to hunt down some demonic beasts blocking the way before returning to Blackstone City to claim credit from Qin Xue.

Just then, he noticed the figure of a young man rapidly appearing below the distant mountain forest, causing a chilling glint to instantly emerge in his eyes.

“Qin Yefeng, you actually didn’t fall to your death?”

However, just as Liu Qian’s words fell, an icy voice rang out: “Of course I didn’t die. Without taking your life, how could I die!”

Liu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice. His eyes were filled with a chilling aura as he sneered, “Since you dare to take the initiative to come and seek death, I won’t be careless and let you escape this time. Prepare to die by my hands!”

“It’s not certain who will die yet.” Qin Yefeng gripped his combat saber tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, Qin Yefeng’s clothes were completely torn, and his face was covered in dirt, but his gaze was piercingly cold.

Liu Qian drew his Green Steel Sword and charged over rapidly. He brandished the sword edge, carrying a sharp, cold glint as he attacked swiftly.

Qin Yefeng held his combat saber and slashed down with all his might, engaging in battle with Liu Qian.

Clang! Clang!

Accompanied by the slashing and wild hacking of the saber and sword, bursts of sparks flew in all directions.

“In just these few short hours, how could Qin Yefeng have become so much stronger? And his body has recovered too. Could it be that he got lucky and broke through?”

Liu Qian’s arm holding the Green Steel Sword was numb from the shock, and he was currently astonished.

“Die!”

Spotting a flaw in Liu Qian’s defense, Qin Yefeng struck without mercy. He brazenly executed the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique, closing in directly on Liu Qian’s body, and slashed over with his combat saber.

The black combat saber slashed down with full force. The pitch-black blade actually carried a trace of golden spiritual energy, and with tyrannical power, it violently hacked forth!
