"How about this! Let's withdraw from the territory of the divine-level magical beast horde first!"
Zi Lingling gazed at the place in the distance where magical beasts were constantly emerging, and said decisively.
Ye Lingyuan nodded and shouted, "Retreat!"
Immediately, the Heaven-Breaking Sword manifested a hundred-zhang sword aura, forcefully carving a bloody path through the magical beast horde.
His figure flickered, and he embraced Zi Lingling's slender waist. With a leap, he took Zi Lingling out of the beast horde.
Almost simultaneously, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin also unleashed their ultimate moves and leaped out of the beasts' encirclement.
Zi Lingling was not idle either. She casually grabbed a handful of medicinal powder and scattered it behind the five of them.
The five ascended into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they had flown a thousand zhang away, leaving the divine-level magical beast horde far behind.
But just then, a group of flying magical beasts appeared in the place where the beasts were emerging.
The speed of the five flying in the sky was like a mere trifle compared to this group of flying magical beasts.
In just a moment, those flying magical beasts transformed from black dots into clearly visible figures.
Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons!
When the five clearly saw the true forms of the flying magical beasts behind them, their hearts sank.
The Three-Eyed Thunder Falcon was the fastest among flying magical beasts, without exception. Its speed could rival lightning.
Seeing the group of Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons getting closer and closer, the five were forced to push their speed to the extreme.
But even so, the distance between them continued to shrink, and even Ye Lingyuan couldn't help but frown.
Half an hour later, Rong Guang and Shangguan Yulin, who had the weakest cultivation, were already panting.
Shangguan Yulin said anxiously, "This won't do! We'll be caught sooner or later!"
Rong Guang also said anxiously, "We must find a way, otherwise, once we are surrounded by the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons, it will be dangerous!" Sudian Novel Network
Xuanyuan Xun added, "Among flying magical beasts, the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcon is the most troublesome. Not only are they fast, but their combat power is also not weak. Unless we can find magical beasts with a more powerful bloodline than them, it will be difficult to escape."
Magical beasts with a more powerful bloodline?
Ye Lingyuan's furrowed brow immediately relaxed.
They didn't have magical beasts with a more powerful bloodline than the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons, but he did have four ferocious beasts with a more powerful bloodline.
These four ferocious beasts were none other than Qiongqi, Taotie, Taowu, and Hundun, whom he had subdued in the fifth trial of the Ghost Altar.
With a thought, the four ferocious beasts, which had been residing in his contract space, appeared before the five of them.
Although Zi Lingling had personally witnessed Ye Lingyuan subduing the four ferocious beasts, because Ye Lingyuan had never released them, she had almost forgotten their existence.
Therefore, she was only slightly surprised before returning to normal.
Moreover, she instantly understood Ye Lingyuan's intention.
However, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin immediately put on expressions of despair.
With the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcon horde behind them and the four ferocious beasts in front, the three almost fell from the sky.
"Your feast has arrived!"
After Ye Lingyuan finished speaking, he pulled Zi Lingling and cleared the way.
These four ferocious beasts had almost never eaten their fill since being subdued by Ye Lingyuan.
Now, seeing a horde of Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons, their eyes immediately straightened, and saliva streamed from the corners of their mouths.
Especially Taotie, which was known to devour anything, was already seeing stars from hunger.
Before the other three ferocious beasts could make a move, it had already charged towards the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons.
As it opened its massive maw, a rapidly spinning black hole appeared before it, and entire swarms of Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons were sucked into the black hole.
Seeing Taotie feasting, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Hundun also charged forward, each displaying their unique abilities.
No matter how numerous the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons were, how could they be a match for the ravenously hungry four ferocious beasts?
In just a blink of an eye, more than half of the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcon horde was annihilated.
However, the four ferocious beasts showed no intention of stopping.
Firstly, they had not received Ye Lingyuan's command. Secondly, they had been hungry for too long, and these Three-Eyed Thunder Falcons were not even enough to fill their teeth.
The four ferocious beasts moved and maneuvered, and the Three-Eyed Thunder Falcon horde was instantly wiped out. However, they were still unsatisfied.
But now was not the time for them to hunt, so Ye Lingyuan directly summoned them back to his contract space.
The five of them flew for another half an hour and finally flew out of the territory of the divine-level magical beast horde.
However, before the group could catch their breath, Zi Lingling said, "Ninth Prince, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, guard me. I need to refine pills!"
After speaking, she led Ye Lingyuan into a nearby mountain cave and set up a formation at the entrance.
Then, she released Long'er and Fengyi Huanyinghu and instructed, "Long'er, Little Tiger, you guard the entrance. If there's a dangerous moment, you can let those three retreat in and activate the formation!"
"Yes, Sister!"
"Yes, Master!"
Long'er and Little Tiger responded in unison and stood on either side of the cave entrance, staring intently outside.
Zi Lingling nodded, took Ye Lingyuan into the cave, and said solemnly, "Ye Lingyuan, I'm going to refine the Divine-Level Hidden Breath Pill and the Divine-Level Bursting Absolute Pill. The birth of divine-level pills will surely trigger a pill tribulation. This pill tribulation will be left to you!"
Ye Lingyuan nodded and said, "Refine the pills with peace of mind, I'll handle the rest!"
Zi Lingling nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the Nine Extremes Qiankun Cauldron, and said, "Huangyi, warm the cauldron!"
"Yes! Master!"
Huangyi responded, and her primordial spirit emerged from the Divine Maiden Palace.
Without further ado, she directly activated the Phoenix True Fire to evenly heat the Nine Extremes Qiankun Cauldron.
While Huangyi was warming the cauldron, Zi Lingling retrieved over a thousand types of medicinal ingredients from the Divine Maiden Palace and began to classify them.
At the same time, she used her mind to multitask, constantly replaying the refining methods and precautions for the Divine-Level Hidden Breath Pill and the Divine-Level Bursting Absolute Pill in her mind.
Soon, Huangyi's voice reached Zi Lingling's ears.
"Master, warming the cauldron is complete!"
Zi Lingling nodded, threw the medicinal ingredients for both pills into the Nine Extremes Qiankun Cauldron, and let the cauldron extract them automatically.
Under the combined effect of the Nine Extremes Qiankun Cauldron, Huangyi's Phoenix True Fire, and Zi Lingling's soul power, the extraction of medicinal ingredients was completed in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
Zi Lingling adjusted her breathing. First, she shared the pill formulas for the Divine-Level Hidden Breath Pill with Huangyi and the Nine Extremes, and explained the precautions to Huangyi and the Nine Extremes.
Huangyi and the Nine Extremes had already achieved perfect synergy and shared a strong tacit understanding with Zi Lingling, so the pill refining began quickly.
Huangyi focused on controlling the fire, the Nine Extremes focused on merging the medicinal liquids, and Zi Lingling oversaw the entire process with her vast soul power.
Merging hundreds of medicinal liquids was no small undertaking and required extreme caution.
