"A Spiritual Equipment, an ordinary Spiritual Equipment!"

Zhang Wei and the rest of the group were surprised to see the spear in Zhou Tianjun's hand. It was an ordinary Spiritual Equipment. An ordinary Spiritual Equipment was barely attainable by a Warrior Spirit yet Zhou Tianjun possessed one in his hand.

Li Lingtian too was astonished as it was his first time seeing an ordinary Spiritual Equipment. It was capable of driving a mighty force in which Warriors would usually find difficulty in withstanding. The drive of a Spiritual Equipment could penetrate through any Warrior's defense.

Compared to Zhou Tianjun's ordinary Spiritual Equipment, Wang Hao's Kylin Sword was nothing. It was only a mediocre Spiritual Equipment but it was still a decent weapon.

Two powerful attacks were launched onto the Green-eyed Beast. As if it had sensed the threat that was coming its way, the eyes of the Green-eyed Beast were filled with ferociousness before a strange Demonic Qi exploded.

"Roar."

Letting out a wail, the Green-eyed Beast spat out a white bead that harbored a gruesome demonic energy that was swiftly rammed towards Zhou Tianjun.

"Lifebond Inner Vital Attack."

The five were terrified at the appearance of the white bead, especially for Zhou Tianjun whose face turned into despair. To begin with, a demonic beast was much stronger than a human, so the Lifebond Inner Vital Attack of a Second Tier Level Seven demonic beast was definitely devastating.

"Guuruum."

"Ah, ah, ah."

"..."

The entire valley shook at the sound of a loud crash. With a glow of destruction, the white Inner Vital clashed violently onto Zhou Tianjun and turned him into ashes in a blink of an eye. Meanwhile, the other four Warrior Spirits were thrown back by the impact.

On the other hand, the ordinary Spiritual Equipment struck the Green-eyed Beast. With an eleven-foot tall spear penetrating through its head, the Green-eyed Beast breathed its last breath.

The residue impact swept across the valley, turning the trees and flowers into ashes. The four Warrior Spirits fell onto the ground but not before they spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Swoosh."

A sudden sound broke through the sky and interrupted the peace in the valley as a white figure fluttered through the air.

"Bright Moon in Soft Breeze, kill."

"Flaming Divine Fist, explode."

"Vast Obscure Extermination, die."

At a flicker of the blade glare followed by a flaming fist, exterminating blade shreds burst out altogether in the blink of an eye and crashed onto three of the Warrior Spirits.

"Ah..."

Following the sound of screams, the three Warrior Spirits perished.

"You-you're, despicable."

Ling Feng was without an ounce of True Qi in his body. The residue impact from the Green-eyed Beast's Inner Vital may not be fatal, but it had wiped out all of his True Qi and he was now left with none.

All he saw was a young Warrior who had become a hunter and was here to steal their thunder after all the hard work they had put in.

"Humph, there's no such thing as despicable in this world," Li Lingtian coldly blurted.

Killing for treasure was the norm in a dog-eat-dog world. Moreover, he merely waited for an opportunity to strike. It was not his problem to deal with if they were unaware of other dangers approaching them while they were engaged in battle.

"Flaming Divine Fist, die."

After that, Li Lingtian pushed forth a Flaming Divine Fist, prompting a violent stir in the air. A Tier Three Warrior Spirit, despite without True Qi, should not be underestimated.

"Wham."

Although the Flaming Divine Fist crashed down in a loud bang, Li Lingtian found himself with a hardened expression. His Flaming Divine Fist came to nothing as it crashed onto the ground but at this point, Ling Feng had disappeared out of sight.

"Hehe, I knew of your existence. You're just a Warrior, nothing less than an ant before me.

"Kylin Sword, eliminate!"

Ling Feng stood erected on the valley's stone wall, showing no signs of injury. With a body of True Qi in its prime, he drew the Kylin Sword and sliced a white light through the sky.

"Ah, a miscalculation. Instant True Qi recovery, not bad.

"Ice Vitality Divine Fist, freeze him."

Surprised, Li Lingtian smiled bitterly from within. Who would have thought Ling Feng had a treasure that was capable of regaining his True Qi in an instant?

Seeing a Tier Three Warrior Spirit's blow in full force, Li Lingtian realized that he could not afford to be careless. A Tier Seven Warrior like him was nothing against a Tier Three Warrior Spirit who had possession of a mediocre Spiritual Equipment.

With firm resolute, Li Lingtian spun the Immemorial Ice Crystal in him and circulated the Ice Vitality Divine Fist to launch his attack.

Immediately, the temperature plunged, turning everything, including the air within a 110 yard radius in the valley into a glacier. The blade glare fired by the Kylin Sword too solidified in the static air, slowing its speed down like a crawling ant.

"Ice Vitality Warrior Soul, it's impossible.

"You have a Fire-path Warrior Soul, how can you have Ice Vitality Warrior Soul as well?"

It had never crossed Ling Feng's mind that this young man could launch such a powerful attack, that the entire valley had been turned to glacier. Even a Warrior Spirit with an Ice Vitality Warrior Soul was incapable of achieving this.

Since this young man had unleashed Fire-path attacks, he must have a Fire-path Warrior Soul, yet he had just demonstrated an Ice Vitality Warrior Soul's attack. Ling Feng's mind completely went blank from the shock.

"Die."

Li Lingtian himself too was taken aback by how his Ice Vitality Divine Fist had frozen the vicinity of over a hundred yards. For his first time at unleashing the Ice Vitality Divine Fist, it was quite a feat.

Meanwhile, he hastened the speed of his Ice Vitality Divine Fist and blasted it at Ling Feng. He was unaffected inside the glacier because he was the creator of this phenomenon.

"Ah."

Ling Feng turned into an ice sculpture and all of his meridians were frozen. With a blow to the ice sculpture, it was smashed to pieces. Consequently, Ling Feng dropped dead to the ground.

"Pft."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Lingtian staggered about. Suddenly, the glacier in the valley disappeared and resumed to the atmosphere as it was before.

He had sustained some injuries after releasing a few powerful skills consecutively, which included the Ice Vitality Divine Fist.

'So it seemed like the Ice Vitality Divine Fist is an Onyx Tier Skill that can't be controlled by a Warrior. The Immemorial Ice Crystal is still too much for me to handle.'

Li Lingtian thought to himself before he stashed the Warrior Spirits' storage sacks and sorted out the Earth Dragon's materials. In ten minutes, Li Lingtian had then left the valley and advanced afar.

"Pft tzh."

Sitting in a cave with his legs crossed, Li Lingtian spat out another mouthful of blood.

However, his cheeks gradually regained its pink tint. He had overdone it with the Ice Vitality Divine Fist. The force might be great but he did not have total control over it.

After smoothening out the bruises, his injuries had stabilized. He then extended his arm to open the storage sacks and took out the properties that belonged to the Warrior Spirits he had eliminated earlier.

These five storage sacks were treasures of Warrior Spirit Powerhouses. Li Lingtian made an inventory and found that he had bagged over two thousand spiritual stones, one mediocre Spiritual Equipment, Kylin Sword, and an ordinary Spiritual Equipment, Sky Perishing Spear.

The rest were a few Inner Vitals, low-grade pills, several skills, and some common weapons.

"There are some good pills."

He looked at the several jade bottles in his hands that contained dozens of pills; these were just enough for him to use. Apart from that, the two Spiritual Equipment were of value to him, such as the mediocre Spiritual Equipment, Kylin Sword was a great replacement for his long sword.

"Oh, I see. It's this little thing."

There were three blue pills in a purple jade bottle. Based on the information from the Pill Art, he recognized these pills were Blue Dust Pills.

These pills were used to regain a Warrior Spirit's True Qi. Li Lingtian recalled the incident where even after he had launched an attack on Ling Feng, the latter had managed to regain his True Qi from complete exhaustion.

The reason behind his instant True Qi recovery was this Blue Dust Pill. Stalactite of a thousand years value was the main ingredient to refining a Blue Dust Pill.

Limited to one usage a day, this Blue Dust Pill could regain a Warrior Spirit's True Qi. Warriors too were not restricted from its effects but it would be ineffective on any Powerhouses above the Warrior Spirit state.

So after storing his spoils, Li Lingtian began to cultivate. There were also some pills he had collected from the Warrior Spirits that were suitable in treating his injuries and he chewed on them like candy.

An hour later, Li Lingtian opened his eyes. His injuries had completely healed while his True Qi had reached its prime.

"Sky Perishing Spear, refine."

Li Lingtian took out the Sky Perishing Spear and hurled it to the air while he gestured a few techniques. He was tempering the treasure¹ which was basic knowledge to any Warrior.

With this, the remaining Qi on the Sky Perishing Spear was wiped out by Li Lingtian's Divine Mindfulness.

He then shot a drop of Blood Essence onto the spear but as the blood touched the spear, the Sky Perishing Spear trembled and put up a fight.

"Tzh tzh, tzh tzh."

"Clang."

After a string of noises followed by a loud ring, the Sky Perishing Spear simmered down. Letting out a satisfied smile, Li Lingtian connected his Divine Mindfulness with the Sky Perishing Spear.

"Join me and you'll be stronger."

An ordinary Spiritual Equipment was not only unattainable for Warrior disciples, but Warrior Spirits as well. Only a handful of Warrior Spirits were in possession of a Spiritual Equipment.

"Kylin Sword, refine."

Li Lingtian repeated the same tempering process in refining the Kylin Sword. As the Kylin Sword was a mediocre Spiritual Equipment, it was easier to temper than the Sky Perishing Spear.

He had only used the most common weapon while he cultivated the Amber Tier superior Astounding Sword Technique. With this Kylin Sword, the force following the sword technique should multiply.

Days went by and in a blink of an eye, he had been in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley for two months now. His current cultivation level had reached the Tier Seven peak Warrior state.

Pairing his Tier Seven's ability and powerful skills with the Kylin Sword and Sky Perishing Spear had enabled him to single-handedly take down even a Tier Two Level Five or Six demonic beast.

The six storage sacks increased and they were almost filled with Inner Vitals and ingredients. Now, he had more than enough supplies to refine grade one Vitality Pills and Spirit Binding Pills.

"Today should be the seventh of June. There are three more months until the sect's Grand Tournament."

With a smile on his face, Li Lingtian gazed towards the direction of the sect; it was time to return. Lan Binhui's storage sack had a Blue Fleecing Fruit that could advance him a tier further in cultivation. Besides that, he also had five Spirit Binding Pills in his possession.

For the time being, these pills were sufficient to raise his cultivation level, but it was also time that he began refining pills.
