Outside the Array of Mining Cave 38, Xu Feng and Niu Yibao sat in the pavilion drinking tea.
"Niu Junior Brother, how many gourds do you have on you?" Xu Feng asked curiously.
"I have ten in total, seven that I frequently use, and the remaining three are for escaping." Niu Yibao replied naively.
"It's truly inhumane, those are all High Grade Treasure Gourds!"
Once a Treasure reaches the High Grade level, it starts from at least 50 High Grade Spirit Stones.
Even some of the more powerful High Grade Treasures can reach the price of several hundred High Grade Spirit Stones.
"Don't say it like that, even though I have these Treasure Gourds, I'm still played around in the palm of Big Brother's hand."
These past few days, when they were free, they would spar with each other.
Even though Niu Yibao was equipped with Treasures, he was still pinned to the ground by Xu Feng.
"You are too clumsy; you can't even utilize 50% of the power of these High Grade Treasures."
"So you need to focus on the coordination between the Treasure Gourds."
Xu Feng began explaining combat techniques to Niu Yibao.
"The combat techniques that Big Brother mentioned, the elders in the family have all taught me, it's just a pity I've never fully grasped it." Niu Yibao said with a pained expression.
"If you can't fully grasp it, that means you haven't found the right method."
"You need to combine your own abilities to create your own combat system," Xu Feng said seriously.
Hearing about this combat system, Niu Yibao felt a sense of awe.
"Please teach me, Big Brother Xu!" Niu Yibao said as he got up to bow.
"If you bow, I won't teach you."
Xu Feng's words immediately stopped Niu Yibao.
"To create your own combat system, you first need to understand your strengths and the Magic Treasures and other powers you can utilize."
Xu Feng believed he was quite capable in combat, although his talents were below average after his birth.
When one was speaking seriously and the other listening seriously, their Communication Treasures beeped at the same time.
Upon checking, they found it was a message from the Outer Sect.
"Due to the recent loss in mining veins, the Sect has again dispatched other disciples to the veins, forming a Patrol Team to intercept those Outer Disciples from the Xuanyin Sect," Niu Yibao read from the message.
"I estimate that soon, the fighting in the Outer Sect will escalate to the Nascent Soul level."
"By then, the battle will intensify."
Looking at the Communication Treasure, both of them had slowly complicated expressions.
"As the saying goes, meet the enemy as they come, handle the flood with soil, take things one step at a time."
At night, as it was Niu Yibao's turn to be on duty, Xu Feng took the opportunity to enter the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World for cultivation.
Beneath a majestic mountain, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle lazily stood up and walked towards a stalk of Spiritual Medicine.
After eating it, it returned to its nest and started licking a golden piece of Spiritual Ore.
The originally millstone-sized golden Spiritual Ore had been licked by the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle to the size of a human head in the past few days.
Xu Feng's Divine Thought observed the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle from the sky.
He always felt that ever since his turtle son started licking this Spiritual Ore, some subtle changes had occurred.
The brash golden turtle shell was shinier than before, and faint Runes began to appear on it.
Xu Feng found joy every time he saw these changes.
Seeing that the golden Spiritual Ore was almost gone, Xu Feng's Divine Thought drifted to the residence of the White Ape, planning to have the old White Ape bring another piece.
Following the White Ape's explanation, Xu Feng learned that the piece of golden Spiritual Ore had fallen from the sky.
It was said that a giant bird had flown over the sky at that time.
"There's nothing I can do about it then~" Xu Feng said regretfully.
Just as Xu Feng was preparing to exit his cultivation in the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, the Communication Magic Artifact suddenly rang.
"This is a distress signal sent by an Outer Disciple, it should be nearby!"
Xu Feng immediately left the house, and happened to run into Niu Yibao.
"I'll go, you stay and guard the house!"
After speaking, Xu Feng transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the direction of the signal for help.
The Sect has a rule that as long as such a distress signal is received, one must go to the rescue.
The blue Wind Escape light was extraordinarily bright in the night, like a meteor.
"This speed is truly rare among the Outer Disciples."
Although he had seen it a few times, Niu Yibao couldn't help but marvel every time.
Miles away from Xu Feng, two beams of light swiftly flew towards the direction of Mine No. 38.
"These Xuanyin Sect people are really despicable, always bullying the few with many, their methods are truly filthy!" a beautiful woman cursed.
"Sister, save your energy; a group is still chasing us from behind." another woman's voice said.
"Only ten thousand miles ahead is Mine No. 38, I don't know if the two fellow sect brothers there received the distress signal."
The two beams of light swiftly crossed the sky, and soon, seven more beams of light chased closely behind them.
"As long as we eliminate those two ahead, that mine will be successfully occupied," an excited voice exclaimed.
"Be careful, Mine No. 38 is just ahead. We have lost quite a few of our men there," another more cautious Xuanyin Sect disciple said.
"Look, if people come to rescue from there, let's take them all out together," a brash voice declared.
At this moment, Xu Feng in the distance had already seen those two beams of light.
So, he swiftly concealed his figure, preparing to catch the opposite side off guard.
After landing on the ground, Xu Feng's hands seemed to transform into the abyss, beginning to massively absorb and compress the surrounding air.
"Just right, this opportunity is perfect to try out my newly improved Qi Explosion Technique," Xu Feng said with a grin.
At this moment, the small Golden Armored Spirit Turtle that Xu Feng had taken into his arms expressed its dissatisfaction.
"Don't rush, once we finish this fight, you can go back and lick your treasure," Xu Feng comforted.
By then, he could already see the seven beams of light chasing after the initial two.
Consequently, Xu Feng's hands began absorbing the surrounding air even faster.
Two clusters of Qi Explosion Technique, compressed to their limit, started to take shape in Xu Feng's hands.
The two beams of light passed over Xu Feng's head.
Xu Feng concentrated and held the two highly compressed Qi Explosion Techniques, his gaze fixated on the seven beams of light behind.
"Whether I can succeed or not, it all depends on this time!"
A thin golden Protective Shield clung to Xu Feng's body surface, directly initiating the Qi Explosion Technique, followed by speeding up the Wind Escape Technique to its limit.
A thunderous explosion instantly attracted the attention of those seven Xuanyin Sect disciples.
They saw a beam of light like a missile flying towards them.
"What is he trying to do, courting death? Charging against seven!"
The seven quickly gathered various Divine Skills and hurled them at Xu Feng.
But Xu Feng, protected by a golden Protective Shield, was fearless, adding another layer of shield in the windward area, like a bullet tip.
From a distance, Xu Feng resembled a golden bullet, illuminating the entire sky as he shot towards the enemy.
The two women ahead, who were fleeing for their lives, also sensed the commotion behind them.
The women turned around, and the entire night sky instantly turned into daylight.
