Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Chapter 334 Legend, Secret Realm and Realm Within a Realm

His friends were definitely trying to annoy him.

Now I'm scratching myself frantically with both paws. It's so boring. I need to find something to do to distract myself.

Their little paws were already numb from scratching, and if they weren't distracted, they'd be bored to death.

Zhong Chun made up his mind: when his friends came to him forging weapons again, he would make them two turtle hammers.

He just didn't expect that this bastard would chase him for eight miles and relentlessly hammer him.

Too lazy to bother with his friends, Chuan Chun took out his weapon-refining cauldron and carefully repaired it.

The immortal energy here is abundant, making the repair process much more efficient.

Zhong Lingxin glanced at Zhong Chun's refining cauldron. There was a large pit on the cauldron, which completely destroyed the formation on the cauldron and made it impossible to gather immortal energy.

Zhong Lingxin took out the Purple Gold Glazed Cauldron and asked Zhong Chun, "Can it be of any help?"

Zhong Chun shook his head: "It's not very useful. The Purple Gold Glazed Cauldron was made of immortal wood. It's fine for refining pills, but it's not sturdy enough for forging weapons. Don't damage the Purple Gold Glazed Cauldron."

Zhong Lingxin nodded and put away the purple-gold glazed cauldron.

She had thought that the Purple Gold Glazed Cauldron was a ninth-grade immortal artifact, and its hardness should be able to withstand a fourth-grade refining furnace, but in Zhong Chun's eyes, it was still not enough.

It seems she needs to hurry up and learn more about weapon crafting, so that she can at least not have trouble communicating with Zhong Chun.

Seeing that Zhong Chun was busy with serious matters, the friends stopped laughing and joking and all started digging hard with their heads down.

As time passed, in Zhong Lingxin's Nine-Story Pagoda, Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom collected several storage rings of immortal stones, from low-grade to mid-grade, and then to top-grade and supreme-grade.

Immortal crystals began to appear in the immortal stone mine.

This greatly excited Zhong Lingxin, who dug a large pit on the east side of the fifth floor of the Nine-Layered Tower, buried all the immortal ore slag inside, and left a space in the very center, hoping to dig out the crystal marrow.

Zhong Chun stopped repairing his refining cauldron, and instead looked around with his compass. Finally, he told Zhong Lingxin with certainty, "Lingxin, just watch, there's definitely crystal marrow inside."

As Zhong Chun finished speaking, the children waved their little hands even more vigorously.

Pieces of celestial crystals, gleaming brightly, were dumped into the large pit of the Nine-Story Pagoda along with the rubble.

Now, peach blossoms and pear blossoms no longer pick and choose fairy crystals; they bury them all in the slag to keep them company with the crystal marrow.

As they approached the mine's core day by day, Zhong Lingxin captured two soft, shimmering crystals with her God-Catching Net and threw them into the Nine-Story Pagoda's pit.

This time, Zhong Lingxin did not leave half of the crystal marrow.

Because too many immortals are digging for immortal stones, leaving them here is just leaving them for others.

In the following days, the group dug outwards from the spot where the crystal marrow had appeared.

Until all the fairy crystals are mined out.

Judging by the time, the immortals should be close to finding the core of the ore.

It's time for her to go.

The group started thinking about the mineral veins beneath the Mountain Fox Cave again.

Zhong Lingxin smiled.

Of course she'd go check; if she could get it, she'd take it; if not, so be it.

When she arrived at the foot of the mountain fox's den, a battle was raging inside.

It turns out that even immortals know a little about mineral veins.

After careful consideration, several large teams decided to stay in the Megalodon's territory and mine the largest vein of ore.

Almost all the immortals who couldn't go to the Giant Tooth Tiger's Cave to dig for immortal stones have come here.

They formed dozens of teams of varying sizes.

These teams steal from each other every day.

They started stealing and robbing each other, which escalated into a fight.

Therefore, even when the immortals here are mining, they only dare to use half of their immortal essence, and they also have to be careful not to be ambushed by others, so the mining is extremely slow.

Even though it was extremely slow, no immortal wanted to leave.

The three cities of Changping, Ningyu, and Yuping can only be considered medium-sized immortal cities in the immortal realm, and the immortal energy in these three cities is not particularly strong.

Now, they are guarding the immortal mine. Even if they don't mine it, just absorbing the immortal energy here will make them cultivate faster than they would outside.

Besides, even at the worst, one can still dig up a hundred or two hundred immortal stones every day.

It's better than them searching all over the mountains for magical plants and minerals.

So the honest immortal continued his cultivation while mining.

Those who want something for nothing steal and rob while mining.

Zhong Lingxin used the same method she used in the Giant Tooth Tiger's cave. First, she used an illusion array to cover a place, and then Huanhuan made a small hole.

Then, the friends showed off their skills, digging all the way to the core of the mine and digging out huge piles of fairy stones and crystals.

The only thing that Zhong Lingxin regretted was that there was no crystal marrow in this immortal mine.

She tried to comfort herself, thinking that not every mine could have crystal marrow.

They quietly withdrew from the mine and slipped away to a very distant place.

As for the immortals still mining in the two mines, their reaction to the empty mine core was not something she had considered.

After leaving the territory of the mountain fox, Zhong Lingxin searched for immortal plants and minerals throughout the secret realm.

She wants to continue to enrich her nine-tiered tower.

But after searching for a long time, she gradually realized that something was wrong.

Sometimes, she clearly felt that the place was filled with a rich, fragrant, and ethereal atmosphere, and that there should be celestial plants and fruits there.

But when she finally arrived, there was nothing there.

There were no signs of mining in the surrounding area.

Zhong Lingxin recalled the legends about the secret realm.

Legend has it that there are even more realms within realms in this secret realm.

However, this realm within a realm cannot be discovered at will.

It depends on fate.

So-called fate means that the secret realm has chosen you and is willing to let you enter the realm for cultivation.

Zhong Lingxin was extremely depressed.

The secret realm chose her.

But it wasn't to tell her to advance to the intermediate stage of cultivation.

It was a clear rejection of her, forbidding her from taking any more plants or trees from the secret realm.

It seems she plundered too much from the secret realm, which displeased the realm.

But she didn't violate the rules of the secret realm, nor did she kill all the immortal plants and beasts in it!

Fine, since the secret realm doesn't want her to take anything from it anymore, she'll just focus on cultivating and, incidentally, throw in some low-level, ordinary immortal plants and ores to enrich the Nine-Layered Tower.

Soon, she discovered something else.

Whatever she wanted to take, it would simply disappear from her sight.

That's really unfair.

She has already conceded and is no longer taking the good stuff from the secret realm.

Now she's not even allowed to take ordinary immortal plants or minerals.

Zhong Lingxin was enraged.

The other people were also furious.

Lele flashed out of the Nine-Layered Tower and burned wildly in a void, distorting the air itself.

That wasn't all. Yueyue also flashed out of the Nine-Layered Pagoda and spewed a mouthful of her natal fire at a high mountain in front of her.

Two flames burned fiercely in the secret realm, turning half the sky red.

Ice Flame was also summoned by Lele: "Burn it! Burn it to ashes! Burn this damn secret realm to the ground!"

Ice Flame, having received the order, began to burn wildly.

Since entering the secret realm, they have mostly been in the formation and haven't yet unleashed their full power to burn.

As the three flames blazed fiercely, the flames within the secret realm slowly spread outwards.

Countless mountain peaks began to turn barren.

A voice suddenly cried out, "Stop! Stop right now!"
