Chapter 460: Chapter 480: The Truth Behind Extinction? _1

Su Erhe’s back broke out in a cold sweat.

Someone had actually sneaked up on him without him noticing. What was even more terrifying was that he had unwittingly exposed his unprotected back to the attacker just moments ago.

He turned around in horror, only to see, under the dim light from the flashlight, a dark shadow flash by like a ghost, instantly crossing the fence beside him.

Hu Shan and the others quickly shone their flashlights but could only illuminate the fence.

The attacker had completely vanished.

Hu Shan and the others hurriedly stepped forward and leaped onto the fence, but the attacker was nowhere to be seen.

"Don’t bother chasing!"

Su Erhe stopped Hu Shan and the others, who were still preparing to pursue the attacker, and shouted, "Thank you for showing mercy, sir!"

If Su Erhe was shocked and angry when Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan were attacked earlier, now he was filled with lingering fear!

If the attacker had been ruthless towards Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan, they would either be dead or seriously injured. Just now, the attacker had come right behind him, and his back was completely defenseless. All it would have taken was a light slap, and he would have been at least half dead. However, the attacker did not do so.

The attacker had not been ruthless towards Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan, nor had they taken advantage of his mistake to strike him, but simply took his backpack away gracefully.

If the attacker had been ruthless just now, the entire Baling Sect team would have been wiped out.

This was a favor he had no choice but to acknowledge.

There was no response from the darkness.

Su Erhe was not surprised and waved his hand, "Let’s go and look for them somewhere else."

After walking a distance, Hu Shan and the others also realized what had happened.

They had just survived a near-disaster!

Hu Shan sighed, "That person is way too bold, silently sneaking right into our team. I think he must have come out from the side when we were looking at that mansion. I thought he was one of our own and didn’t think much of it. It was my negligence!"

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "Who could that person be? We just had a fight with the Han Family members, and then we were attacked. Could it be someone from the Han Family?"

Su Erhe replied, "Han Xuehai and Han Xuegong from the Han Family were both injured by us. Han Shude and Han Xuemei are even weaker than Han Xuehai. As for Lin Chen, who for some reason got mixed up with the Han Family’s team, wasn’t he just promoted to the Great Grandmaster level a couple of months ago? Although he also defeated Zhu Zian from Linhai, he isn’t strong enough to toy with us like nothing..."

Thinking about how he was sent flying by one punch earlier, Hu Shan also felt somewhat uneasy, "That person indeed has tremendous strength, especially outstanding stealth ability, and tremendous courage. In such complete darkness, they are an extremely terrifying opponent."

Su Erhe smiled bitterly, "Although we lost our things, the attacker showed us mercy. We should be thankful for our misfortune."

After a pause, Su Erhe sighed, "When we get back, I really want to find out who this mysterious hero is."

...

Lin Chen closed the room door, made sure it was completely sealed, and only then turned on the flashlight’s diffuse light mode. The room was instantly bright.

Lin Chen emptied all the contents of the three backpacks onto the floor, forming a pile!

A smile appeared on Lin Chen’s face, as the harvest was quite substantial.

Lin Chen carefully sorted out all the items, which were mostly medicinal materials and elixirs, obviously taken from the pharmacy they had just raided.

Although medicinal materials were great, they still needed further processing. Lin Chen didn’t have much use for them at the moment, so he focused on the elixirs instead.

Five Spirit Pills, one Great Supplement Pill, and one bottle of Clear Heart Pills.

One ancient book.

Lin Chen casually flipped through it and found it to be a book introducing various elixirs. While it did not contain specific methods for refining elixirs, it provided detailed descriptions of their effects, making it a popular science book about elixirs!

Five Spirit Pills, made from five types of spiritual energy-containing materials, could help cultivators increase their strength significantly from the Great Master stage to the Great Grandmaster stage.

The Great Supplement Pill, ideal for patients with weak physical conditions, has miraculous effects.

Clear Heart Pills are auxiliary pills for cultivation that can help cultivators maintain a calm state of mind during practice, reducing the probability of qi deviations and demonic possessions.

Spiritual energy?

Although the Dan book did not explain the meaning of spiritual energy, Lin Chen roughly understood its meaning from the descriptions of the elixirs. It should be a special energy that is hidden between heaven and earth, and is the foundation of cultivation.

Cultivation is the process of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, transforming the body, and retaining this energy within oneself to become stronger. Inner qi, Gang Qi, and other forms of energy are all manifestations of spiritual energy at different stages.

The Unknown Land is rich in spiritual energy, which may be the fundamental reason why cultivators in the Unknown Land are stronger and live longer?

As for the human world, where spiritual energy is scarce, cultivation is more challenging, and lifespans are shorter?

Lin Chen was slightly dazed.

Did the demise of the Unknown Land, which now resembled the outside world, have anything to do with the disappearance of spiritual energy?
